PART TWO

It all happened so fast. As soon as Qui-Zell and her friends turned the corner to cross the great Hall, the Clone Troopers arrived. No one really questioned their arrival before it was too late. They began to shoot every single Jedi in sight

"What in the name of Revan!?" Qui-Zell yelled, as she saw Jedi start to be cut down by blaster fire.

. Qui-Zell could see a squad of troopers rush them. Instinctively she let the Force take over as she rushed ahead of her three friends and raised a Force Barrier against the oncoming blaster fire. She could feel three shots absorbed by the shield, but the next four penetrated the barrier. Before she knew it, she felt three blaster bolts connect with her thigh, chest, and finally her neck. The last blast forced her on her back.

She could hear her friends cry out her name as she saw lightsabers being ignited. Qui-Zell could feel her body getting heavier as everything got quieter and things soon got dark.

"N-no is this death?" She thought to herself" I-I can't die not yet, K-Kaiya! I sent Kaiya out by herself. She's all alone, and she'll be killed! Please let me warn her! " Before she could feel herself drop into unconsciousness she summoned the last bit of her mind to summon the Force to call out to her friend.

"Kaiya! Run! Save yourself! There's too many of them! You can't fight them all! Get away!" She called out in her mind, and hoping against all hope she was heard. Then without warning, she saw Meiya fall dead. Then Sarla, the life had already left her eyes. At last, Phal joined them. They were all killed by a lightsaber. The last image Qui-Zell saw was who killed them, the fierce red eyes of Anakin Skywalker. Then all Qui-Zell saw was black.

Qui-Zell, could feel herself being carried. She wasn't sure how long she was out or even why she was still alive. She felt her herself tossed upon a squishy pile. Only when she felt absolutely safe did she open her eyes. She saw she was face to face with the ashen face of another fallen Jedi. She gasped as she sat up and saw dead Jedi surrounded her after another. She covered her mouth to muffle her scream, closing her eyes to the horror and the stench. She got up to find any way out.

Stumbling over body after body, Qui-Zell found her way out of the room of the dead, only to find herself a few feet from a squad of soldiers standing watch over the hollowed out Jedi Temple. Her body still ached from her wounds. Still weak, she tried to make her way silently, but she was already tired and Force drained. It wasn't long before she was discovered.

"Hey!! There's one still alive!! Stop her!!" She heard a voice yell.

Trying to get enough energy into a full sprint, Qui-Zell ran as fast as she could through the streets of Corusant. She could hear many footsteps behind her. Turning into alley after alley, she could hear the footsteps getting closer. Turning one last corner she found she made a potentially fatal mistake as she saw herself facing a dead end. The walls around the dark wet alley were too high to attempt any type of Force Jump. She could hear the soldiers getting closer as she readied herself to take her lightsaber for one last fight. Eight soldiers turned the corner into the alley where she was. Suddenly, she was surprised and squinted by a bright light.

"There's just one, and she's just a child. Let's make this quick!" She heard one of the Clone Troopers utter.

Qui-Zell could see her life flashing before her eyes, and she made peace with herself. But little did Qui-Zell, the Jedi from Mandalore, That the Force had other plans for her.

She blinked as a sudden gust of wind kicked up around her; a wind that also caused the Clone Troopers to pause and stand around in confusion. What happened next no one could comprehend for around Qui-Zell something began to "form" around her. It was a brilliant blue-white light followed by the sound of what could only be describe as a mechanical grinding. The light then began to take shape and solid form. The form of a blue telephone box. It was large as it engulfed Qui-Zell completely.

"VWORP!VVWWOORRPP!VVVVWWWWOOORRRPPP!!"

To Qui-Zell her environment began to change as well. As the dark cold wet alley began to fade away and a new environment began to take shape around her. It was a gold light all around her and before she knew it, she was indoors. The room was large and was seemingly made out of coral and high tech gadgetry. She could see in the middle of this huge room was a six-sided console in the middle of it was glass cylinder that stretched all the way to the roof. The inner green glass bounced up and down as it finally stopped. . When that happened the room took final shape. Dazed and confused, she at least felt safe. From behind her she could feel a presence approach.

"Oy now! What's up with that! You landed ahead of schedule" said an odd looking man with big brown hair, a happy go lucky expression on his face, wearing a brown suit with blue pinstripes under a tan overcoat and white converse sneakers on his feet. He stopped when he saw Qui-Zell. "Hello! How are you?"

With a yelp Qui-Zell activated her lightsaber. And as quick as she ignited her saber the man produced a simple tool from his jacket. With a push of a button and an electronic buzzing sounded. She saw it had a power over the lightsaber, for it switched it off completely!

"Do you mind?" He said rather irksome. He went to the console and began flipping switches and turning knobs. "That's a lightsaber, do you know what it could do to the interior?"

"Who are you?" Qui zell asked

The man answered, "I'm the Doctor, nice to meet you! And you are?"

"Qui-Zell" She said. 'Qui-Zell Dhanna."

"Nice to meet you, Qui-Zell. Judging from your clothes I would guess you're a Jedi! Now excuse me while I figure out why the TARDIS landed in the another galaxy, and not Maho Bay!"

She took a deep calming breath, and tried to take it all in. Most importantly why she was still alive.

The Doctor, Time Lord from Gallifrey, was clueless. He had set coordinates for a nice holiday in the Caribbean. In fact he was busy shaving and cleaning up when he heard the main motors of the TARDIS indicate that it was about to land.

It landed about 4 hours ahead of schedule. He looked at the readouts and finally the computer scanner that showed the outside of the alley and several Clone Troopers looking very puzzled.

"I can't seem to readout what time era it is," he said scratching his head. "Well the answers are out there. Think I'll go make an appearance," He said with a devious grin.

"No! Wait! What do you think you're doing?" Qui-Zell said as she saw him race to the door. Knowing that facing down an entire squad of Clone Troopers was suicide, Qui-Zell decided to follow and pick any pieces that may be left.

Exiting the Police Box, the Doctor smiled as his companion followed. When the Clone Troopers saw Qui-Zell, they immediately went on kill mode. "The Jedi! Kill them both!!" The Clone Trooper yelled as six or seven of them opened fire. Before she could reach for her lightsaber, the Doctor quickly held her hand down to prevent her from any further action.

In that delay Qui-Zell saw that the flurry of blaster bolts had no effect on them. For they were being repelled by a force field that was being generated by the TARDIS.

"Are you done, yet?" The Doctor mocked. "HA! You're just as clueless as the Cybermen, only they're better dressers!" He said. "It's ok, Qui-Zell that force field can hold back anything." One clone trooper tried to penetrate the barrier, but he was thrust back violently. The Doctor had turned on the now repaired Extrapolator, before he stepped out the doors.

"That Jedi is now an enemy of the Empire. In the name of the emperor hand her over to us!" Said the apparent leader of the squad.

The Doctor leaned a little forward and squinted at the Clone Trooper, "Huh." He said unimpressed. "Standard white armor, substandard blasters… You look like Clone Troopers, " He looked up to the night sky as hundreds of transports flew high above tall skyscrapers.

"Am I on Corusant? " He guessed right "AWWW I haven't been on Corusant for years! I wonder if I'm near Dex's diner. He makes those little cup cakes with the Edible Ball bearings. You know I gave him that idea from an English tea party during the '48 Wembly Olympics!" He winked at Qui-Zell.

The Clone Commander was getting irritated. "You need to hand over that Jedi to us or you both will be placed under arrest!"

Qui-Zell licked her lips impatiently. "Umm, Doctor is it? They might be calling for reinforcements! " She hissed.

"Am I also correct in assuming that the Supreme Chancellor is a one Dantius Palpatine who also goes by the guise of Darth Sidious, and you clone troopers are trying to carry out a one Order 66?" The Doctor asked as all of the Clone Troopers raised their blaster rifles and cocked them. They aimed at them ready to fire.

"Ooh!" He mocked. "That one riled them up!!"

"This is your last warning. Give us the Jedi, or else."

The Doctor stood defiant and chuckled. "I'm the Doctor; I've face down worse things than you. You tell your Lord Sidious that he failed. I have the last Jedi and she's coming with me. THE last Jedi…" He said as he pushed the small of her back into the TARDIS. The Clone Troopers fired wildly now in an attempt to reach them and carry out Order 66.

Entering the TARDIS, the Doctor flipped one or two more switches. "Off we go! Through time and space!" He said. Qui-Zell had to take a seat at one of the nearby couches at the base of the console.

"What do you mean last of the Jedi?" Qui-Zell asked. The Doctor finished working the last of the flight sequence and looked at the confused little girl. He could feel her bewilderment and her pain. He too saw the last of his race wiped out in a fierce war with the Daleks.

"Gone. The Jedi at the Temple have been wiped out. You're the last, but that's only half true," the Doctor said.

Qui-Zell tried to fit all this into her mind. "Wait, what do you mean half true? Are there other Jedi still alive?" She asked, hopeful this stranger would mention Kaiya's name.

"There's a handful of others still alive." The Doctor said as he pointed the sonic screwdriver at her head "Hold, still I'm checking to see how bad your injuries are!"

The small buzzing with the blue light of the sonic screwdriver made Qui-Zell feel somewhat at ease.

Qui-Zell protested, "If there are Jedi still alive I need to re group with them and-."

The Doctor cut her off " And what? Take down a regime that has the full backing of the people and an entire army at their disposal? Besides you're in no condition to kill time much less anything that has an armed blaster!" The Doctor commented as he finished his examination.

"You don't understand! M-my people have been wiped out!" Qui-Zell protested.

The Doctor sighed at the irony of that statement. "Believe me, we have a lot more in common than you think," he said as he thought of his own people, the Time Lords.

"You have some internal bruising and minor internal bleeding, your right dorsal tibia is cracked and there significant internal damage to the muscles in your right femur. Ooo! And a nasty scar on your chest." The Doctor examined as he noted an old surgical scar.

It definitely provoked a response as she quickly pulled her dirty robe over her clothes.

He then took her hand " Follow me, I'll heal your wounds."

Adrenaline wore off as Qui-Zell's body began to ache and howl in pain. Pain coursed through her body and the parts that absorbed the blaster bolts. She cried out in pain as she collapsed slightly. The Doctor caught her and helped her walk to the hallways of the TARDIS.

Qui-Zell started to notice certain things about where she was.

"Just how big is this ship?" She asked commenting on the seemingly endless hallways and rooms of the TARDIS.

"If you can believe it, about the size of a standard escape pod?" He said in an effort to match an image Qui-Zell could relate too."

"Excuse me?" She asked trying to fit the image into her head.

"This is my ship, it's called the TARDIS, and it stands for Time and Relative Dimensions In Space. It could go anywhere and any when in time and space." The Doctor explained.

"Anytime?" Qui-Zell asked.

"There are certain rules," the Doctor said grimly. "But first you need treatment and to be healed."

A few moments later they were at the doors of another large room on the interior of the TARDIS. Qui-Zell, even with her Jedi training was astonished on how bigger it was on the inside than it was on the outside.

"This is the Zero Room. Here you can heal up." He said as he laid her on a small couch. The room had a pink aura to it; it even had a faint smell of rosés. This was actually his second Zero Room. The Doctor had to jettison the first Zero room at the beginning of his Fifth incarnation. He had just remade this new Zero room to accommodate his recent regeneration.

"How is it you know so much about what happened?" Qui-Zell asked, The Doctor laid a quilt over her. "I'm 900 years old! And when you travel around in a ship that can go anywhere in time and space, you get around a lot, and learn a few things as well!"

"What will become of me now?" She asked with a heavy sigh. "Where will I go?"

The Doctor stopped at the door. "Well now that's up to you. I could take you back, where you can try your chances at a regime that really has a grudge against your kind. I could also take you to a point where that regime topples and believe me, it will. Or you can travel with me. Go anywhere in the universe, free of charge!" He said with a boyish smile. "Sleep on it, by the time you wake the Nanogenes that reside in this room should make you right as rain!"

Before the Doctor could lower the lights, Qui-Zell fell asleep. It was probably the first good night of sleep she's had in along time.
