Chapter 3

I wonder how long this story will be, but I can guarantee that this story will be under 20 chapters.

It had been four days since they had come to Naboo.

Adenan Kornen had finished his security checks for the star couple he was travelling with. Anakin had told Adenan not to overwork himself, but he needed to get his mind off all the thoughts that were occurring.

Varykino was secluded, and Padmé, was in fact, the Duchess of Varykino, the thought of it! Adenan was worried what if the Jedi came here, or worse, the Sith.

Adenan had a feeling that he needed to worry about.

"The force has granted this feeling, young one" A deep calm voice told him, Adenan hadn't heard that voice since he was 14. And he knew who the voice belonged to.

Adenan turned to see a long-haired ghost, "Master Qui-Gon!" Adenan happily exclaimed

"You have come a long way since we met, friend to the one I found!" Qui-Gon exclaimed proudly

"But I think there's a recent universe that I became the apprentice to Anakin in" Adenan noted, checking all the dimensions with his ability to see different dimensions

"Yoda's Reforms, I know." Qui-Gon told that like it was part of the force feeling

"So, what's this 'feeling' all about?" Adenan asked, curious

"The Jedi Order are trying to find you four, and maybe a bit of the Senate." Qui-Gon told Adenan, who started stepping away, but Qui-Gon came in front of him and stopped Adenan, he warned "Don't tell Anakin or Padmé about this, instead, tell them when you find a better hiding spot"

Adenan didn't know why Qui-Gon said that, but he trusted the ghost he talked to only twice, this conversation included. But before the sixteen year old could say anything, Qui-Gon disappeared into the Force.

Adenan sang a song he heard from a holoshow he loved very quietly as he went to look for the handmaiden that came with them, Dormé.

"Lift your eyes, the fight has just begun, this is the day, the day of glory" Adenan muttered, humming a guitar tune along with it, then he saw Dormé cleaning up some dust, "Dormé?", he called in a neutral tone in his normal volume

"Yes, Padawan Kornen" Dormé asked

"I prefer my first name, please" Adenan politely requested, then told Dormé "I heard from a reliable source that the Jedi are trying to find us, mostly me and Anakin"

"What's the 'reliable source'?" Dormé asked, clearly not believing that

"A Jedi Master that is a friend of mine, to a point where he won't tell the Council" Adenan told a half-truth

Dormé then realised what that meant, and gasped, as she said "We need to tell Padmé and Master Skywalker!", she was clearly horrified

"No! We don't tell them, they need their peace, while we try to find where to hide next" Adenan told Dormé

"Why?" Dormé asked, confused by the suggestion

"You won't believe it" Adenan answered, dismissing

"I believe in the Force" Dormé told Adenan, trying to get to him

"Fine. The Jedi is Qui-Gon Jinn, the one that died during the Trade Federation Blockade of this planet, and he found out how to appear as a ghost" Adenan confessed, hoping the person he was talking to would believe it

"Really?" Dormé asked, half hopeful, half not believing

"Yes!" Adenan exclaimed in a tone that portrayed that he was truthful about this

"Let's start tomorrow, bright and early" Dormé tilted her face and smiled a bit

"Sure!" Adenan raised his arm slightly, in agreement

Obi-Wan Kenobi sensed something in the midst. Something was going to happen, he could sense it clearly, more clearly than he ever could sense anything since the Trade Federation Blockade on Naboo.

The Jedi Master had bested, and killed, General Grevious of the Separatists, though most of that duel was just a wild chase. Obi-Wan had killed the Separatist General with something Obi-Wan never thought he'd use, a blaster. And a Separatist model blaster at that.

Now, Obi-Wan was moving towards his troops, Commander Cody and the 212th Attack Battalion. He was on a rocky, arid sinkhole planet named Utapau. He was also riding a lizard-like creature named Boga.

The battle around him was fierce, as Clones died and Droids deactivated. Obi-Wan was used to this by now. He saw Cody, his Commander. He stopped Boga beside Cody and looked at the Clone Commander.

"Commander, contact your troops, tell them to move to the higher levels" Obi-Wan ordered Cody in a serious tone

"Very good sir!" Cody obeyed as always, because he knew Obi-Wan was a good general, then he smirked, remembering something, "Oh! And I think you'll be needing this!"

"Thank you Cody, take control of the battle, I'll be leaving" Obi-Wan told a suddenly shocked Cody

"Why sir?" Cody asked, both confused and surprised

"I'll be returning to Coruscant, I sensed the something in the Force" Obi-Wan's voice dipped lower, and then taking Boga to his ship so he could get to his intended location.

Mace Windu was walking with Jedi Master Ki-Adi Mundi. Both of them wondering where to find Anakin first. The halls of the Jedi Temple were serene, as always. And with only a few Jedi Masters, as always since the Clone Wars started three years before

"Where do you suggest finding the two first" Ki-Adi's face scrunched up in confusion

Mace simply looked at the Cerulean Jedi, then told him seriously, "Naboo, Senator Amidala left the Senate abruptly, the exact same time as Skywalker and Kornen"

"So, you're suggesting that… they're on Naboo?" Ki-Adi asked, his eyes widening

"Yes. It's a potential location to start from" Mace calmly said.

The two Jedi Masters began leaving to set a team, to find Anakin Skywalker and Adenan Kornen, even Padmé Amidala if they were lucky.

I know that this chapter is kinda short, but this was just a transitional chapter with no actual major action involved. All that would begin in the next chapter. See ya! NEXT CHAPTER: FINDING AND FOUND
