The angry, hateful, and bloodthirsty look in Qui-Gon's eyes grew as Naboo got closer.
Dooku suddenly felt slightly uneasy.
The extent of Qui-Gon's rage and hate shocked him. It was deep, boiling, waiting to be released. He knew when it was, Qui-Gon would be vicious, ruthless, and merciless, killing anyone that tried to stop him.
He glanced at the three claw mark scars over the younger man's left eye. They added to his rather intimidating appearance.
He recieved them from a nexu two years ago when on a survival mission, yet wore the scars almost like medals, as if to show that he was master, for no one had survived that mission other than Sidious himself and his late apprentice, Darth Maul, who had died on Naboo.
Qui-Gon's large, well toned, muscled body tensed with anticipation.
Dooku's equally large and toned body tensed with anxiety. He knew a bloodbath was ahead of them. He was not looking forward to it, he never did.

"Obi-Wan, he's here!" Padme cried as she ran into Obi-Wan's quarters with Anakin on her heels.
Obi-Wan paled and stood.
Slowly, they went out to meet the Sith.
*************
Qui-Gon's eyes burned brightly under his hood when he saw Obi-Wan.
"Count Dooku. I should have known you'd be a part of this somehow."
"I'm just following orders, Kenobi."
Two blue and two red lightsabers were activated.
"Prepare for your final battle, Obi-Wan Kenobi."
"What have I ever done to you to make you out for my blood?"
The yellow eyes burned even brighter.
"You abandoned me, left me for dead."
"I don't even know you," the Knight argued.
A low chuckle rumbled the Sith's throat.
"On the contrary. You know me quite well, or at least, you did."
He threw back his hood, and Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Padme gasped in shock.
"Qui-Gon?!"
"Qui-Gon Jinn is no more! I am Darth Maulus!"
Obi-Wan was floored with shock, hurt, and sorrow. His beloved Master, the man he loved as a father, was a Sith and out to get kill him.
"Master Obi-Wan loved you!"
"Silence, boy!"
Anakin stepped forward, glaring at Qui-Gon.
"No! We all thought you were dead! It broke Master Obi-Wan's heart! He would never abandon you on purpose!"
A wicked smile crossed Qui-Gon's sinister face.
"Your anger is strong, Anakin. You would make a fine Sith."
"Never!"
Dooku struggled to keep his face neutral, a more difficult task than he expected.
"Then die with your precious Master! Lord Tyrannus!"
"Yes, Lord Maulus?"
Qui-Gon sneered at Anakin.
"Dispose of the boy and girl as you see fit."
Dooku attacked Anakin and Padme and saw Qui-Gon launch his massive frame at Obi-Wan in a frenzied desire to kill.
The battle had begun.
