Summary: After the adventure on the planet Kegan, with fellow Jedi Master Adi Gallia and their apprentices Obi-Wan and Siri; Qui-Gon gets a vision. But what if it was much more than a vision? What if Qui Gon found himself in the time of the vision? Faced with the harsh realities of the changed world how will he react? How will Obi-Wan react? Fanfic of JA book #9 The Fight for Truth.

The italic part is text from the book.

Chapter 1, Visions or more?

"But their freedom was an illusion," Obi-Wan argued.

"We do not know if O-Vieve and V-Tan's visions were wrong, Padawan," Qui-Gon said thoughtfully. "O-Vieve's vision of the future was clouded, but that doesn't make it invalid. Perhaps she just misinterpreted what she saw,"

"That I don't believe," Obi-Wan said. "I can't imagine one central evil controlling the whole galaxy. That would be impossible."

"I hope we do not see it Obi-Wan," Qui-Gon said. "But we cannot say it is impossible. Haven't you experienced enough of chance and evil in the galaxy to realize that?"

Obi Wan shook his head stubbornly. "She saw darkness coming from the Jedi itself. That could never happen."

Sun suddenly burst through the clouds over head, dazzling Qui- Gon's sight. The glare caused Obi-Wan's features to blur and dissolve. For a moment, Qui-Gon didn't see the boy. He saw an elder man, alone, living on a desolate planet, his only companions his dark memories.

Qui-Gon felt the same shiver he'd experienced in O-Vieve's presence. Did he just have a vision of himself as an elder? Was that the dark vision O-Vieve has seen for him?

Then a sudden truth pierced him. 'That isn't me. It is Obi- Wan.' Or was it?

The Sun retreated behind the clouds. But the shadow was much darker than anyone would expect. Nobody seemed to notice but Qui- Gon. Obi-Wan continued to walk in front of him as if Qui Gon was right behind him but he wasn't. The boy was getting further and further away. Qui Gon tried to call out to him but found his voice stuck in his throat.

The dark continued to surround him, blocking out all else. He could see nothing, hear nothing. He reached out for the force but felt nothing. He felt faint. His head swam. He could hear voices. He reached for his lightsaber. Ready to battle the unseen foe.

He tried again to reach out for the force but it was too late. He fell in a heap as the black void consumed him, still clutching his lightsaber.

It swirled around the fallen Jedi. Faster and faster it spun until the dark began to lighten. Black turned to dark blue. Dark blue to purple. Purple to pink. Pink to white. Until it was just a cloud. A mist, fading away; being replaced by a fierce sand storm. Leaving an unconscious Jedi Master in its wake. Lying on the ground, unconcious, on the desert plains of Tatooine.
