AN: I don't own Star Wars.

A month went by pretty quickly and Anakin's punishment was lifted by the council. The young Padawan was thrilled to be able to sparr again although Qui Gon was doubtful that he'd fully learnt his lesson despite Anakin telling him that he had indeed learnt it. Qui Gon wasn't able to make sure that Anakin had because the Council called for Anakin, Obi Wan, Kiara and himself to their chamber for a possible mission

Qui Gon, Obi Wan, Anakin and Kiara entered the Jedi Council room. Qui Gon was still worried about not contacting his former Master, he'd tried a few more times during the last month, but pushed his fears aside as he stood in front of the council with his companions in silence waiting for either Master Yoda or Master Windu to begin talking and explain their mission.

"A very disturbing transmission the council " Yoda began. "A former comrade of ours in great peril seems to be."

"A former comrade?" Qui Gon asked.

"Count Dooku from Serenno has contacted us." Master Windu said. Obi Wan and Qui Gon looked at each other. "It seems there is a plot to overthrow him from his post."

"A plot?" Obi Wan asked. "By whom Republican loyalist?" Mace looked at the young knight sternly and Qui Gon did the same. "It is a known fact that he is at odds with the republic and the rumors about him..."

"Only rumors they are Knight Kenobi. Forget it you should not." Yoda scolded him.

"Dooku is a former Jedi knight." Master Ki Adi Mundi said. "Whatever his problems with the Republic are he would work to solve them and make a better Republic. He would not betray it."

"Yes Masters" Obi Wan said bowing his head while Anakin and Kiara laughed softly before Mace silenced them with a look

'A Jedi must not take anything for granted Obi Wan' Qui Gon scolded him through their force bond.

'Sorry Master' Obi was replied through the force too.

'The same could be told to the council' Qui Gon replied before speaking aloud again.

"What is this plot about?" He asked.

"Apparently the rumors about his plotting and his secret reunions are fake stories made up by an Anti-Republic faction within the planet" Master Windu explained. "They've been making up those stories for a year and also instigating a few riots against the Republic on Serenno."

"During the last month however, their actions more radical and dangerous have become." Yoda continued. "Enough to contain them Serenno's security forces and Dooku's guards are not. Our assistance the Count has asked for. Your presence in particular he has asked for Master Qui Gon."

Qui Gon looked at the council puzzled. "If he's asking for me, why did you call Obi Wan and Kiara?"

"Because with you and your Padawan they will go, the Dark side I feel in this plot." Yoda replied. Qui Gon nodded he should have guessed that much.

"Understood" the four jedi said.

"We have arranged with the Supreme Chancellor for the judiciary forces to take you to Serenno" Master Plo Koon said.

"May the Force be with you" Mace Windu added before dismissing them

"Thank you Masters" Obi Wan and Qui Gon said at the same time exiting the Council room followed by their Padawans.

Once on the lift Obi Wan finally spoke. "What do you think of all of this Master?" He asked earning curious glances from both Anakin and Kiara.

"This is all very weird. If what Master Yoda feels it's true then there is a possibility the Sith are behind all of this." Qui gon said stroking his beard.

"Do you think it's safe for Anakin and Kiara?" Obi Was asked worriedly as both Padawan's glared at him.

"They are strong enough to defend themselves and it's not like we are gonna let them fight the Sith on their own." Qui Gon said.

"I have a very bad feeling about this." Obi Wan said as they got out of the Turbolift.

Dooku stood on his palace's balcony observing the forests that surrounded it and covered most of his family's grounds. The vision had a calming effect on him and was one of his favorite spots for meditations when he arrived a year and a half ago when he still meditated like a Jedi, receiving the force like an old friend asking for it's assistance, but now he meditated as a Sith using his negative emotions to connect with the force, to command it, to use it to bend it to his will and he didn't meditate there anymore.

An holotransmitter droid approached him with his master hologram on top of it. He quickly knelt down before it.

"What is thy bidding my Master?" Dooku asked.

"It seems the Jedi are sending more people to Serenno than just Master Jinn and his Padawan. That knight Obi Wan Kenobi and his Padawan, a female human, are going to your Planet as well." Lord Sidious informed him.

"It is hardly a worrysome matter. They will be dealt with as well" Count Dooku said. "The bounty hunters and of my men are already working with these rebel groups I told you about and stirring trouble within the Capital. I'm about to head out to a meeting of the great families myself to inform them about the request of help to the Jedi. I'll receive the jedi there too."

"Will the families be a problem?" Sidious asked.

"No." Dooku replied. "As long as we keep their pocket's full they won't go against us."

"Good then make sure they are satisfied." Sidious ordered. "We've waited for too long to eliminate the Jedi Vermin and I will not tolerate failure."

"Yes my Master" Dooku replied as Sidious's holographic figure disappeared. "Contact Jango I need to arrange a welcoming party for the Jedi.

Qui Gon, Obi Wan, Anakin and Kiara arrived at coruscant's spaceport where a judiciary corps ship similar to the one that had taken them to Naboo the first time awaited for them. Outside of the ship six males and female, from the judiciary corps stood firm as they arrive while one woman surely the ship's captain, a woman seemingly about 35 years old, a human with golden blonde hair a caramel eyes, approached them. Anakin observed at the rest of the tripulation, two of the males were human while the third was a bothan, while the females were a Togruta, a Twi'lek and a human.

"Welcome Master Jedi" The captain said when she reached them. "I am Captain Sarah Sunn from the Republic's ship "Hammer" and this is my crew"

"Nice to meet you captain I'm Master Qui Gon Jinn, this the Jedi knight Obi Wan Kenobi and our Padawans Anakin Skywalker and Kiara Jade." Qui Gon introduced them. "Is the ship ready to depart?"

"Whenever you are ready." the captain said.

"We are, let's go." Qui Gon replied. A few moments after he said that both the Jedi and the Republican crew entered the ship and took off a few minutes later.
