Chapter 45 - Chapter 45: Meeting Qui-Gonn Jinn

(Jayden's PoV)

"Master, I think I may have found them", I spoke into my communicator.

As soon as we arrived on Tatooine, I told my master that we should split up. Mos Espa is not a small town. Maybe not as big as some metropolitan cities in the core, but still, there are a lot of people.

There are bounty hunters, smugglers, people from the town, and people who have farms outside of the city. Many move through the city. So, if I told my master that splitting is the best way to catch the Jedi and the Queen quickly.

My master agreed with me.

Well, she has been doing that a lot lately. It was because for the past year, I have been subtly shifting her mind by asking the right questions, which started working, and she slowly began to agree with me.

Also, she oversaw my training, and she was pretty much sure that most people in the galaxy can't defeat me, unless they brought some big guns.

We went our separate ways, well, I went straight to Watto's shop, which I had asked around to find quickly. Though I knew the name of the Toydarion, I forgot the name of the shop, and this is the real world. So, I need a real map to find the shop.

With no map, people are the best way to find the shop, and I did.

When I arrived, I sensed there were people inside.

There were three people inside. Two were humans, young, close to my age.

I recognised one of them. The girl was Padme, Queen of Naboo, but she looked simple. I remember that she is still playing the role of the maid.

The second human should be the chosen one, Anakin.

Anakin, even as young as he was, well, I should say his rizz is better than mine. I could never start a conversation like, "Are you an angel?" with a girl.

The third one, I don't know. I forgot the name of their race, but I know it must be Jar-Jar Binks. He is definitely weird.

Master Jinn and Watto should be in the back, trying to make a deal.

Since they were already here, it's best to wait some distance away from the shop and "run into" the team.

Only a few minutes later, the trio left the shop, well, three people and a droid to be exact.

By that time, my master had returned, and I filled in the details. Though my master didn't exactly believe me, she opted to wait for a few minutes, so that we could "bump" into them.

We have already brought the ship parts needed for the repair. We have many parts, but maybe a few that they don't need. Buying exactly what they need could become a problem.

We can already attribute our presence on Tatooine to my dream, and can say that ship trouble is due to the dream too, but with perfect knowledge, which can attract the Council's eyes and also Palpatine's.

So, what I said was that there is a ship problem and what ship it was. It's vague and would be attributed to Force Dreams.

Also, we decided to bump into each other, as my master felt that it would be best to say how they found each other.

When the trio exited the shop, we moved too.

Since we are all incognito, we acted as if we didn't recognise them immediately, and bumped into each other.

"Sorry", Master Jinn apologised.

"My apologies...huh, Master Jinn?", my master called him in surprise, as if we didn't know who they were.

If she were on Earth, she could have won an Oscar for her acting.

In the past year, I learned that she used to do undercover work, where she had to shed her Jedi identity and act as if she knew nothing at all. It was also why she had a dress to mingle with the Black Market when we went to steal the Egg from the collector last year.

I also brought a dress, which doesn't say anything about me being a Jedi or from the Republic high class. It was what I am wearing now to blend in with the world of Tatooine.

The man frowned and immediately went into defence mode. No one was supposed to know him in this backwards world, but someone did.

"Master Jinn, don't need to be alarmed. I am Jedi Knight Ayla Ventra, and this is my Padawan Jayden Arkent. We were assigned to find what happened to you and your padawan by the Order. They lost communications with you and wanted to know what happened to you", my master said.

Jinn frowned less, but he didn't put down his defences, "If you say who you are, shouldn't you be on Naboo?" he asked.

Well, that question was valid. There were no trails of them being led to Tatooine.

"Ah, that. We started to Naboo, but we diverted here because of my padawan's dreams. He saw this world and some other things. So, I decided to check the planet before actually going to Naboo, but now there was no need, it seems", she said.

Jinn lowered his guard a little, "Show me that you are who you say you are", he said finally.

Though Lightsabers are said to be the weapons of the Jedi and Sith, numerous Lightsabers were scattered throughout the galaxy, especially in worlds where past battles took place.

If one can find such a place, they can find and retrieve many lightsabers, though most would be damaged. So, having a lightsaber doesn't make one a Jedi nor a Sith.

There are other ways to do that, and that's what my master was doing now, showing that she was indeed who she said she was.

After a minute, Jinn relaxed, "Sorry, Master Ventra, with how things were going, I had to be on guard always, especially when no one should have any idea about my presence here".

"It's okay. I can understand, but what exactly are you doing here?" my master asked.

That was not acting. That was a genuine question. Though she may have helped me find parts for the Nubian ship, she didn't exactly think their ship was stranded here.

Jinn sighed and started to tell us what happened.
