Title: Agressions III: Death Defied
Author: Courtney_Solo
Summary: Tahiri and Jaina plan to sing (much to Jaina's dismay) at Anakin's funeral. The only catch is that they don't have Anakin's body, so they have to do the funeral without it. But as Tahiri is singing the last few bars of the song, she feels Anakin's presence touch her, and his message is clear enough,'Help!' Jaina believes Tahiri, but the prospect that freaks her out is that Anakin's presence could have been from the dead...
Disclaimer: OK, here's the dealy, I don't own the setting, y'know, Myrkr, Anakin's 'death', Troy Denning does. I just own the 'plot point' -if you like-, and George Lucas owns the universe, let's give him a round of applause! applause
Notes: Did the summary freak you out yet? i want to ease you gus into the story, so I'm going to produce the Teaser Trailer and the Prologue first, and then we'll take it form there, OK? Good. grin This is the third fic in my series.

PROLOGUE

Anakin held the thermal detonator above his head. "Go now!" Jacen struggled inwardly, he couldn't leave his younger brother to die!

Go now, Take her,Jacen. Kiss Tahiri for me, my time has come.

Jacen felt tears creeping up into his eyes as he held his sister and Tahiri back. He shook his head,then stopped himself as he looked into his brother's eyes, then slowly nodded.

Anakin shifted his gaze to meet Tahiri's peircing green eyes, her pale blond hair whipping around her face as she watched him in horror.

"ANAKIN!"
Tahiri jolted upright in bed, her head hitting the bunks lowbar. "Owww...dream...please be a dream." She opened her eyes, which had been squeezed shut, and looked to her left, Jacen met her gaze and shook his head sadly. At her puzzled look Jaina spoke up.

"We had to conk you out, you started forward when you understood, about...about what he had to do. We're so sorry."

Tears came immediately to Tahiri's eyes and she couldn't speak, sobs shook her body, and her sobs must have been contagious because Jaina started crying and came over to her, and Jacen looked away, tears trickling down his cheeks.

"We didn't even have time to get his body." Jacen choked.

Yes sir, may I have another!

This could be good(but wait, it already is). And with all the A/T stuff and consequent scene viggies going around, Courtney Solo is always welcomed (by at least one reader) back into the world that is. . .A/T.

STARWARS:
Death Defied

17 yr. old, Anakin Solo is dead. Smote down by the Jedi's most powerful enemies, pets of the Yuuzhan Vong, voxyn. Many grieve his loss, for he could have become the most powerful Jedi Knight ever. But Anakin feared this, because his grandfather: None other than Darth Vader, Lord of the Sith succumbed to the Dark Side and Anakin Solo fears to be his legacy...


After things calmed down -even though tears were still creeping into my eyes and my body was still shaking with sobs- we had about 5 hrs. ahead of us to go,so I decided I might as well try to rest, not that anyone like me could. I mean, Anakin once told me that I was the most talkative girl in the Galaxy, and the most restless, but for some reason, my body collapsed in a pathetic attempt to sleep.

GO NOW!

Anakin, I can't!

Take her, Jacen. Kiss Tahiri for me. My time has come.

No! Anakin, your time to strike is now, but...you can't! Not now! Not to me!

Anakin looked into my eyes, and I knew.

No.....

And then the detonator exploded.....-


"ANAKIN!!!!!!" I screamed as I whipped up and then something pushed me back down.

"Calm down, Tahiri. You need your rest, we don't know exactly what happened to you." Master Skywalker eased me back down to the sick bay medbed. Wait...why am I in the...

"Why am I in the Sick Bay?" I asked groggily.

"Your heart stopped beating for 1 whole minute before Jacen and I noticed something was wrong." Jaina supplied, her eyebrows creased together in worry.

"Are you feeling better now?" Jacen asked me, he too looked like he had just seen a ghost or something. The events of the previous day, if it was the previous day, hit me like voxyn poison.

"Anakin's Dead, I'm in a serious physical condition, My heart is breaking,but other than that I'm perfect, well, as normal as I ever am with Riina inside my mind."

Master Skywalker placed his hand on my shoulder and immediately my heart rate began to slow, in a good way,because it was originally pounding out of my chest, it seemed.

"Try to get some rest......"

I closed my eyes and drifted off immediately.

AWWWWWWWW. Poor Tahiri. But at least this time she's telling everyone what's going on, unless that was a thoguht inside her head. In which case she should talk to Luke and Mara. . .and me, I think I could help. . . wink

I opened my eyes, the grogginess of sleep still hanging over me as I sat up in bed and wiped my eyes. Jaina was sitting on the edge of my bed, smiling. I groaned as a muscle that did not need to be streched was streched and I plopped down on the pillow.

"Still sore?" she asked, practically grinning from ear to ear. Aparently, her brother's sudden death had driven her to insanity, I couldn't come up with any other reason for her, Miss Somber Thoughts herself, to be grinning so mischeviously, accept the fact that she could've had 'one too many'.

"Hey, how are you feeling?" Well, lemme see, no broken bones, no constant pounding of heart, no wheezy breaths, oh good. I only have a broken heart.

"I've been better." I muttered.

"What could I do to make you feel better?" OK, we have a runaway mind here, calling for back-up...

I raised my eyebrows. "Are you feeling... OK?"

Her smile faltered. "I've been better. Listen, Tahiri, I need your help." Jaina looked at me seriously...interesting...really.

"Only if I can share in the spoils." She grinned again, I think she was running out of cheek to smile with, cause this time it was a Solo original smile..oh,sceuse me, grin that screamed BARGAIN!

"OK, I need you to figure out what position I, er, I mean, WE, could place ourselves, to where we won't hafta make eye contact with Uncle Luke."

"Uh, what's the occasion?" I was confused, apparently I never get the memos. Just me, no one else is excluded.

"Anakin's Funeral." Whoa! The memos are supposed to be MONTHLY! Not every DISASTER!

"They...They found his body?" Already!? HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN SLEEPING!!!???

"No, we're going back for it the day after the funeral." She looked at the ground, or my feet, whichever was closer. (Probably me footsies)

"Soooo...you want somewhere to be where you won't hafta get 'the look' fro Master S, right?"

"That's the plan."

"I have an idea." *evil grin* Jacen won't miss this...

"Talk to me." *smirk* Okeday...
___________________________________________________________________________________

"We should choose a song that's..."

"I didn't even say OK! I said, well...nothing, I just GAPED at you! How....I...stay right there." Jaina rushed off. Heck, I couldn't go anywhere even if I tried, Master Skywalker said that I was too weak to walk, and I believe him. Partly because I tried to disobey him and ended up on the floor. Oops. *looks away* Jaina comes flying in...

"Read this." She commanded. And if I don't...?
I glanced at it, it was in hastily written writing, but I squeezed a translation out.

" Resum'e

Name: Jaina Solo (<That was hard to read)

Age: 19

Sex: Female (Jaina blushed when I said that, because my evil twin ( grin ) changed it to 'none' instead of 'female'.)

Acomplishments: Twin Suns Pilot, Daughter of Legendary Han and Leia Organa Solo, advanced pilot, and HORRIBLE SINGER!!!"

I smirked, then looked up at Jaina's red face. "You could always lip sync." I grinned, ear-to-ear. Jaina smirked.

"What?" hehehe...

"You look like a person who's had 'one too may'!" I just laughed along with her, she has NO idea...

Yeah, Jaina is acting like she took a dive off the deep end. Unless she knows something everyone else doesn't. Or found some really powerful drugs.

I tried to crawl formward as peices of rubble rained down on me,ugh, and peices of Yuuzhan Vong. The smell was worse than before,I must be getting closer to the cloning facility. I attempted to stand up,I had to find a place to put myself in a healing trance, and fast. Unfortunately,the force wasn't there to help me.

Ysalamiri. OK, fine. I pulled my blaster from its holster and shot down the remaining ysalamiri -they were at point blank range-. After I shot it I felt the force flow back to me again. I closed my eyes and laid down, so much for keeping hidden. I sent Tahiri a message, but I don;t know if it reached her, it's been almost three days now, since they left. The last thing I remember thinking was 'Help!'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"This is what it means to be Held...when the sacred is torn from your life, and you survived..." Jaina mouthed. happy Oh, my cue.

"This is what it is to be loved, when your best friend dies..." I drifted off, I suddenly felt Anakin's presence around me, his worry for me and the rest of the strike team evident. I told him that the remaining team members were all right, He needed help,fast. And then he was gone, in only a few seconds. The audience was looking at me like 'And.....' I turned to Jaina. "-But he survived."

"Uh..." (Jacen)

"This is supposed to be a funeral!" (Alema)

"What's up with the line?" (Random person)

"EVERYBODY SHUT UP!" Jaina shrieked, Everyone's mouth zapped out of hyperspace. She turned to me. "What happened, why did you change the line?"

I smiled. "I think Anakin is alive." She stared at me like I had lost my mind...had I? Lost my mind, I mean? "He told me that he is in danger and needs our help...He's still on Myrkr!" I looked to Master Skywalker for assistance, and found it, cause he nodded.

"I did feel an extra presence for the same amount of time Tahiri paused, I am willing to believe that he is still alive, that it was in fact Anakin's presence she felt." I smiled, NO ONE could contradict Master S. Or not...

"More like his ghost." Alema muttered, and everyone turned to her. "What? Everyone's thinkin' it, I'm just sayong it! There's NO WAY he could have survived. No Way. "And with that she stalked out of the room. Touch'e.
__________________________________________________________________

There's no way he could've survived, NO WAY, I checked, NO ONE could've survived... I assured myself, over and over again as I ran down the temple halls to my room. Nom Anor and I were going to have a little chat...

"Alema rar to Nom Anor, Nom Anor this is a private channel, do you copy?" It always took him a moment to respond.

"I'm here, Ma'am, What are you commands?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I watched Alema stalk off and felt her break into a run once she was inside the temple grounds. "I hafta go, I'll be right back." I scurried after her.

"Be careful of your heart,Tahiri! Don't over-exert yourself!" Jacen called after me. Geez, I'm not a baby, I know when I'm in a serious condition.I saw Alema run into her room. Leaning down I unclasped my spy unit, Anakin and I used to play with it when we were younger, I was going to burn it at the funeral, but....

"-... No ONe at your facility is going to like the outcome! I want clarification that Anakin Solo is dead, if I hear otherwise you can find yourslef a new base. Clear?"

"Yes, ma'am." Nom Anor answered meekly. I was stunned, but not surprised. So she was the one behind everything...

"Hey, Tahiri." Alema opened her door, her face turned from angry to friendly.

"So you were the one behind Anakin's death." I spit out at her, she shrugged.

"Thanks to Nom Anor he may still be alive." His mistake gave me hope.

"So," she began. " I'm not the gloating type. Now what? We're all alone in the empty hallway of an enormous Jedu Temple. Any thoughts?"

"We won't be alone for long." I hissed, signaling my comlink. She whipped out her comlink as well, uh oh, did she have jedi henchmen or something? I stared at it, nervously. She pressed a button, and my heart began to beat uncontrolably faster, she pressed two more, and my arms and legs became numb.

"Stop." I whimpered, knowing she wouldn't.

"Take me up." She spoke into her comlink, the ceiling exploded and the Lightning Rod came into view, and its ramp lowered to Alema, who was laughing at me, while I lay on the smooth temple stones, waiting to be rescued.
