As Anakin and Kiara advanced through the main streets they could feel the many, mercenaries, rebels and Bounty Hunters both hidden and in plain sight that were waiting for them at the designated place. Sarah threw Anakin a nervous look but young boy threw her one full of determination and reassurance. The girl calmed a little and nodded as she continued walking towards the meeting point.

Finally reaching the meeting point, they observed the building pretty deteriorated by the fighting especially the top level which was completely destroyed by an explosion. They knew the had gotten away in time for they didn't feel him becoming one with the force and hoped the ruler of Serenno could be able to help them if they were captured, after all he should be making plans to retake the Capital right now. Or so they hoped since they were unaware of the Count's true nature and plans.

Both of them quickly shook those feelings off. They were alone and they were Obi Wan's only hope. They stopped a few meters away from the rebel group. One of the rebels communicated something to someone and the group made way for the Mandalorian, Jango Fett, and two mercenaries who were dragging Obi Wan around. His force presence was very weak and Anakin was sure it was because of the Force Nullifier, even though he couldn't see any of the enemies holding it.

Kiara cringed at the vision of her master weak and drained of most of his energy while Anakin just glared at the Mandalorian for what they did to a man he considered his older brother.

"Well, well, if they aren't two brave apprentices coming for their fallen comrade" Jango spoke. Even though he did speak under his helmet they could feel the mocking and triumphant tone. "You must be very proud of them."

Obi Wan glared weakly at the Mandalorian.

"Aaah defiant to the very end." Jango said as he pulled one of his pistols and pointed it at Obi Wan.

"Wait!" Anakin shouted although he expected this from Fett. "You said if we came you would release him."

"I said that didn't I?" Jango replied. "Well you see it is true. But I needed you to come and I didn't think you would come if you knew you would witness his execution, I could have killed before even if the bond with his padawan was weak if I had there was the possibility she would have felt it and you wouldn't have come. Besides my orders are to take you 2 alive, he has to join the other Jedi and that captain in the afterlife. Plus" He added reaching for something in his belt, Obi Wan's deactivated Lightsaber.

"Bastard!" Anakin shouted as many men and aliens approached with their blasters ready to shoot if they tried to defend themselves. Jango smiled and put the Lightsaber back on his belt.

"If you think about it I am releasing him. He wouldn't live very much in his state with the rebels in control of the street." He chuckled. "Plus the Force Nullifier only works with one Jedi at a time, that's it's only inconvenience you see. I have three Jedi and one Force Nullifier, I am pretty sure I can handle the lassy without the Force Nullifier but you boy are more of an issue."

Anakin heard Kiara growl at Fett's estatement and smiled. If he was going to act like that there was no way they were going down without a fight. Fett smiled.

"So that's how you want it so be it" he said preparing pull the trigger but before he could a blaster shot impacted on his hand forcing him to release the pistol. There was an enemy sniper somewhere, the rebels around them all fell to some shots, Jango looked for the sniper and frowned when one of the shots impacted on the Force Nullifier and the soldier holding it. He felt as his prisioner gasped for air and felt to the ground. It was now or never, however he was distracted again as he looked to the side and saw the other Jedi Master, who was supposed to be dead slashing and attacking at the enemies with the Force.

Meanwhile Anakin and Kiara also made good work of the enemies that had approached them and in just a few seconds. Anakin smiled as he felt a very familiar connection being restored and felt a very familiar and a not so familiar but also good presences in the force reappeare. His Master Qui Gon and Captain Sunn were alive. He looked at Kiara who was also smiling now also happy to feel those presences again.

They looked at the window from where Sarah was sniping the enemies, however the woman was forced to retire from that position when the enemies also located her, she'd probably join them soon. Without losing more timeJango decided to take care of Obi Wan once and for all but he'd given the young Jedi knight enough time to gather some energy, he pushed the Bounty hunter with the Force at the same time he called his lightsaber and adopted a fighting position. Jango quickly recuperated and observed as Obi Wan slowly but efectively took care of two mercenaries, however an expert warrior like Jango saw many openings in the still weakened Jedi's state. Taking out his blacksaber he engaged Obi Wan in close combat.

The other mercenaries and the three Jedi observed as the two men fought, Jango had to hand it to Obi Wan for a weakened jedi he was one tough opponent. Soon the battle resumed around them too and they were no longer the center of attention. Jango smiled when he was able to slash Obi Wan's right leg making him fall, however the Jedi was able to parry a strike directed to his head.

Meanwhile Qui Gon Kiara and Anakin were surrounded by more and more mercenaries defending themselves as well as they could without being able to help Obi Wan.

"We have to get out of here." Anakin said with frustration. "Obi Wan needs help."

"Patience Anakin" Qui Gon said in calm tone of voice. Feeling something with the force he added. "When I tell you lift a Force shield around you."

Both Padawan looked at him in confusion but nodded. A few moments later, several granades were launched around them at the enemies.

"Now!" Qui Gon shouted and both Padawan obeyed as the granades exploded taking the lives of many of their foes. A few of the confused survivors were killed by blaster shots from Sarah's rifle.

"Are you alright?" She asked as she approached them. Qui Gon nodded and looked at the battle between Obi Wan and Fett. Despite being weak and injured Obi Wan was being able to hold the Bounty Hunter. Looking around he saw many of the rebel forces retreating or injured and with only a few of them still fighting.

"Take care of the remaining rebels. I'll help Obi Wan" He told the other three who nodded and engaged the last group of rebels. Qui Gon rushed towards the mandalorian who was preparind to strike at Obi Wan again and from his former padawan's reaction he wouldn't be able to stop this most likely fatal attack. Putting his green blade in front of Fett's blacksaber he was able to counter it before it struck.

Fett looked at Qui Gon with Fury and looked around. Anakin, Sarah and Kiara were taking care of the snipers in the government building and the others were already retreating. Qui Gon helped Obi Wan stand and the man weakly acquired an offensive position again, no matter how many plans the mandalorian made he couldn't take on four Jedi at once. Seeing no other option the Mandalorian activated his jet pack and proceeded to retreat towards the government building's landing platform where his ship the "Slave I" was landed.

"Shouldn't we pursue him Master?" Obi Wan said falling to the ground again. Qui Gon shook his head.

"No, he is not our true enemy." The Jedi Master said. "And I have a feeling we'll see him again."

Obi Wan nodded before he was crushed in a hug by Kiara. "Master! You are alright!" The redhead said with a voice charged with emotion.

"No I'm injured." Obi Wan said. "And you crashing my bones won't help me Padawan."

"Oh come on the girl was worried." Sarah said approaching the group with a small smile.

"Good to see you alive Captain." Obi Wan said.

"You too." Sarah replied. Meanwhile Anakin looked at Qui Gon with hurt on his face.

"I thought you were dead" The boy spoke angrily as the other three turned to look at him with worry on their faces. "You severed our connection and didn't contact me."

"I know Anakin." Qui Gon said with a serious expression. "I didn't want to worry you but I had to hide from our enemy too."

"If Kiara hadn't stopped me I could have fall to the dark side. I wanted to come and kill this rebels. I felt hate." Anakin said with a bit of an accusatory tone.

"A jedi must always control his emotions Padawan" Qui Gon said. "Just as you did Ani" He added softly. Anakin wanted to recriminate him more things about this incident but he just couldn't. He rushed towards Qui Gon and hugged him as the other three looked and smiled.

"I'm glad you are ok." Qui Gon nodded with a small smile of his own.

"Master" Obi Wan interrupted the moment as Kiara helped him stand. "You said Jango wasn't our true enemy. What did you mean?"

"Our true enemy" Qui Gon spoke with sadness evidently present on his voice. "Is Count Dooku."
