	Prologue As the walls of the Jedi Temple shook from barrages of laser blasts, Senater Jar Jar Binks ran down the great halls of the temple to the Jedi Council room. Inside only one jedi remains."Theysa comin Masta Windu!" "Has the ship taken off? Windu asked. "Theysa just left for Geonosis". "Good." Windu replied as he pulled out his saber. He doesn't activate it. "I'm ready" The two hear the doors of the temple break open. They prepare for their last stand. ***************************************************************************** "I don't like this" Padme Amidala Skywalker said. "I know, but its the only way" Obi-Wan replied. Master Yoda and Plo Koon walked in to the cockpit to see Padme and Obi-Wan talking."Time it is Obi-Wan leave we must". "And we must also prepare m'lady" Plo Koon replied. "I have cloned Master Yoda, Windu myself and Anakin."Obi-Wan said. "Anakin!" Padme exclamed. " He's changed he is a sith now. " "I believe there is still good in him."" I refuse to give up". "M'lady Koon interupted, its time". The three jedi and Amidala walked into the main chamber. Around them are jedi frozen in suspended animation. Two cylinders remain empty."Take care of my son Obi-Wan" Amidala said." I will" he replied. "As will I" Yoda added." I know. I'll see you soon." She paused and said I know Dorme will take good care of Leia. With that Padme walked into the clyinder. Plo Koon closed the cylinder and activated it." "The records are stored master and the yslamari are caged and will protect us." "Good luck" Obi-Wan said. "You are the ones that need luck not us". Koon replied."May the force be with you" he added as he walked into the cylinder. Obi Wan walked over and activated the cylinder. "And with you Kenobi replied" He turned to Yoda. "Time to go Master Kenobi it is."Yoda said as they walked toward the hanger where two ships are waiting.The two jedi cried out in pain. the temple had fallen. ***************************************************************************** Lord Darth Vader walked in the jedi temple flanked by dozens of stormtroopers."Where is he?' he asked. "In the council chamber" a trooper replied. Vader walked down the hall and ignited his saber as he stepped into the council chamber." Time to die Master Windu". Windu sat in his chair meditating. He opened his eyes and looked at Vader. "Ani don't do this" Jar jar pleaded. "Silence!"Vader boomed. "Ani no" Jar jar ran up to Vader."Please don't do this". "SILENCE"." With that Vader took out his saber and held it to the gungan's throat." Where are the others?" he demanded. "I won't tell yousa Ani. Yousa changed". "Then you will die" Vader announced and with that he killed the gungan ending his pathetic life. Vader turned to Windu."Now it is your turn". "I am ready." Windu replied. He threw down his cloak and ignited his saber.Vader charges unleashing a volley of attacks. Windu deflects them as best he can but is slowly weakening. Vader sweeps his saber around hitting Windu's shoulder. Windu cries out in pain. Vader takes this oppertunity try and decapitate him. But Windu deflects the saber and starts attacking Vader with an amazing amount of strength and speed. Vader finally surprised starts struggling to deflect windu's blows. Vader somersalts over Windu and lands behind his saber aimed at Windu's chest. Windu just manages to deflect the blow,but misses Vaders true intent. Vader twists his saber higher and stabs Windu in the chest. Windu falls to the floor."I will return " Windu announces. Vader justs laughs. Windu's spirit leaves his body."Destroy the Temple!" Vader ordered. He turned and left. ***************************************************************************** Chapter 1 50 years later Luke Skywalker walked in to Chief of State Cal Omas' office. "Luke I'm glad your here" Cal stated. "What is it Cal?" Luke asked. "The Vong are attacking Bothawui" I've sent all ships and I was hoping you could take the jedi with you who have flight expierence. Traest wants more jedi. The Bothans have unleashed a more than decent amount of fighters but we can't take the chance that the vong will have reinforcements." "I will gather all the jedi and we will leave at once." Luke replied. "Thank you" Cal replied sounding relieved. ************************************************* Luke's squadron "New Hope" came out of hyperspace to see an amazing battle. The Yuuhzan Vong corvettes were focused on the Bothan ships. The coralskippers were getting destroyed left and right by Twin Suns Squadron. "New Hope leader this is Twin Suns leader. We glad your here". "Doesn't Look like you need our help goddess" Luke replied. As he spoke a huge fleet a Yuuhzan Vong capital ships emerged from hyperspace. "Sith spawn" Jaina cursed. **************************************************** On The Ralroost Jacen Solo and Vergere were directing the squadrons to defend the bothans. "Finally the battle we've been waiting for." Admiral Traest Kre'fey exclaimed. "We will crush the Vong today and rid the galaxy of there evil" Kre'fey declared. "Emperor's black bones an officer yelled. Jacen looked up. "I hope Bel Iblis arrives soon we're gonna need him" Jacen said to Vergere. "May the force be with us" Vergere replied. ***************************************************** Twin Suns was faring well. Jagged Fel and Kyp Durron were back with Jaina replacing Twin suns two and four. No pilots had been lost yet. Goddess skip on your tail! Kyp shouted. Jaina rolled to port. "Got em Twin Leader" Jag replied. Jaina was glad that Jag was back. It was hard not seeing Jag for months. "Twin Suns break of the attack on the skips. Help the bothans" Jacen ordered. "[What about the skips?]" Lobacca asked. "We have two another squadron to take care of them. "Greeting Goddess"Face Loran said. "Wraith Squadron will take it form here"he said. Twin Suns broke off to aid the bothan ships. "Twin Leader we have reinforcementz" Tesar Sebatyne. Jaina looked up to see Hapan battle dragons enter the battle. "Greeting goddess" Queen mother Tenel Ka said "Do you mind if we help?" "Gladly" Jaina replied. ******************************************************* Jacen looked at the battle. Bel Iblis fleet was attacking the new arrivals. The Hapans were helping the Bothans take out the capitalship. Jacen saw the forms of Rogue Squadron and Wraith Squadron attacking the coral skippers. "We have them" Traest declared. Jacen watched as The capital ship was destroyed by The Hapan Battle Dragon Song of War "Sir"a Mon Calamari officer said,"The Vong are preparing to jump. " Get the coordinates and transmit to the fleet. We are going after them" Traest said. "Sir they are headed to a planet called Geonosis." "Prepare to for jump"an officer called. All Jacen saw were starlines. " Geonosis what planet is that Jacen thought ****************************************************** Chapter 2 [/i]"And now your highness we will discuss the location of the rebel base."[/i] "No no NOOOO!!!" "Leia wake up" Han Solo said. "Huh" Leia Organa Solo replied. "You were having a bad dream." Alarms rang in the Millenium Falcon's cockpit indicating the ship was coming out of hyperspace. "You okay?" Han asked. "Yes I'm fine. I'll get to the gun turret" Leia replied "Are you sure your okay?" he asked "Yes she replied" "Alright get up there. This is gonna be one heck of a battle *********************************************** "The infidels were winning .I had to save our fleet after losing half the fleet to traitor Nom Anor! Waxlkan Lah defended "YUUHZAN VONG DO NOT RETREAT!" Supreme Overlord Shimarra shouted. "But Supreme Overlord we would not have won. I did what was best for the fleet." The Warmaster declared. "Warmaster" a subaltern said "The infidels are follwing us!" " Do not escape Warmaster. Win or flee like the traitor Nom Anor and hope I don't catch you!" The Supreme Overlord ordered. Shimarra's villip reverted back to its faceless form. "Prepare to engage the infidels again. The Warmaster shouted. The Yuuhzan Vong ship emerged at of hyperspace first. "Warmaster readings indicate an infidel ship ahead. "Destroy it!" The warmaster ordered. ************************************************ The New Republic fleet emerged out of hyperspace to see the Yuuhzan Vong attacking a ship. The ship was not fighting back. Suddenly look felt an unbelieveable surge in the force. "Jedi our on that ship" He realized. Through the force meld he knew the other jedi were aware of the force pressence. "All fighters protect that ship at all costs! came Jacen's voice. "Acknowledged' Tenel Ka replied. Luke saw the hapan ships unleash their fighters. "New Hope Squadron help protect that ship" Luke ordered. "Twin Suns were going in too Jaina declared. "Luke I feel a very strong pressence on that ship a dangerous pressence Leia said over the comm. "I feel it too" Luke watched as the hapens destroyed three of the five corvettes. **************************************************** "Vergere are you okay?' Jacen asked. Vergere found herself on the floor. "What happened?" She asked. "You felt the surge in the force like the rest of us only you fainted." Jacen said. "Are you okay?" He repeated. "Fine" she replied. " What is it that's on that ship?" Jacen asked. "I don't know but whatever it is, its very strong in the force." She remarked "Yes!" Admiral Kre'fey shouted. "Looks like we're winning." Jacen remarked. As he spoke the last corvette blew up. ************************************************ "Warmaster we are the only ship left!"the subaltern cried. "Impossible!" Waxlkan Lah shouted. He looked out into space the sky was litered wih the destroyed ships. The infidel squadrons were destroying the last of the coralskippers. "We cannot retreated" He stated. "Charge the ship!" ******************************************* "The're preparing to ram the ship!"Jacen cried. "All ships stop them!" Traest cried. "Acknowleged" Tenel Ka said. "All hapan ships focus all fire power on that ship." The Queen Mother said. ********************************************* Wraith, Rogue, Twin Sun and New Hope squadrons were destroying the remianing skips when they saw the Yuuhzan Vong ship speeding toward the undefended ship. "Sithspit" Corran Horn cursed. "All ships stop them!" came Kre'fey's voice over the comm. " You heard them" Jaina said. "Lets go" "Acknowleded Goddess" came Kyp's reply. "Twin Suns Break off!" came Tenel Ka's voice. "We'll handle it" "You got it" Jaina replied. Jaina watched as the Hapan battle dragons annihilate the Yuuhzan Vong ship. Cheers rang over the comm. Luke's voice came on "Admiral request permission to board that ship" "Why?" Kre'fey demanded . "That ship is very strong in the force." "Granted" "I'm going with you Skywalker" Mara Jade said. "I'm going too Luke" Leia said. "If Leia is going I'm going with her" Han said. "Alright" Luke conceded. The Millenium Falcon, Jade Shadow, and Luke's fighter broke off to board the mysterious ship. ********************************************* Chapter 3 Luke, Mara, Han and Leia boarded the mysterious ship. It looked like a ship during the clone wars. It was very dusty . Luke followed the force pressence to a huge steel door. The door would not open. Luke took out his saber and as he made started to cut the bladed shorted out. "Cortosis ore" Luke said. "Whatever's behind there must be really important" Han remarked. "Stand back Mara said. "She threw a grenade at the door it blew it down. After a few minutes of the dust settling, the four hereos walked in. What they saw amazed them. "Jedi frozen in suspended animation" Luke remarked. "Well don't just gape Skywalker, wake them up!" Mara remarked. Luke walked over to a cylinder containing a female Twi'lek jedi and pushed a button. After a few seconds the jedi awkened and would have fallen had Luke not caught her. "Careful Skywalker. It be a shame if Ben grew up without a father" Mara remarked. "Skywalker" the woman gasped. "Who are you" she demanded. She ignited her blue saber and set herself in a fighting stance." "We won't hurt you" Luke said. "I never thought Anakin could either but then he murdered hundreds of jedi. And now Darth Vader has offspring. Why would you not harm me?" she demanded "Because I am a jedi" Luke replied. "So was he then he became a sith" she hissed. "Lord Vader turned back to the lightside by sacrificing himself to save his son. He killed the Emperor" Luke replied. "Who are you?" she asked again. "I am Jedi Master Luke Skywalker. Anakin's son." "Luke" she said when I saw you last your mother was saying goodbye to you and your sister Leia." "What is your name?"Luke asked. "I am Jedi councilor Aayla Secura. she replied. " You knew my mother?" Leia asked. "Leia. So the twins were reunited. Yes I knew your mother. Follow me." The four jedi and Han walked over to another cylinder holding a female. " Is that her?" Luke asked. " But I knew her. She died." Leia said "Padme Amidala Skywalker had her trusted friend and decoy Dorme watch over you." Aayla walked up and pushed the control pad. Padme opened her eyes. The first thing she saw were a man and woman who looked similiar to Anakin and herself. "Luke? Leia?" she asked. "Yes" They replied. Padme almost collapsed had her son not caught her. " My children" she said. Tears stung her eyes. They hugged. "Obi-Wan" Padme said. "Where is he?" "I'm afraid He died." Luke replied. "Then we'd better wake him up" she said. "Huh" Luke asked thinking his mother was dillusional. Padme walked into another room holding four jedi. Leia gasped as she recognised one articular person. Luke saw it two and squeezed her shoulder in reassurance. Mara and Han were helping Aayla unfreeze the rest of the jedi. Padme walked over to a cylinder that held a bearded man with brown hair with streaks of grey in it. Padmetouched the control pad on Obi-Wan's cylinder. "Obi-Wan Kenobi stood. His eyes slowly opening. His spirit adjusting to a new body. "Hello Padme, Luke. Princess Leia finally we meet." "Ben" Luke cried. "We should wake Yoda, Mace and Anakin up now "he said Obi-Wan turned to the twins. "Anakin Solo and Chewbacca issue their greetings." "I wish they were here" Luke said. "Your father offered Anakin his body, but that stubborn child wouldn't take it. He definately is a Skywalker." Obi-Wan laughed to himself. "Master Yoda looks very young for fifty "he remarked pointing to the clone of yoda. He walked over to Anakin's cylinder first but Leia stopped him. "Not yet" she said. Obi-Wan nodded his head and went over to Yoda's cylinder. He pushed the console and waited. "Been a very long time it has since i've looked this good." Yoda remarked."Glad I am that I don't have to use that cane for a few hundred years." Yoda patted his full head of hair. "Missed this the most I have." He chuckled to himself and walked over to Mace Windu's cylinder. Mace Windu opened his eyes. "Greetings Senater Master Kenobi, Master Yoda.Its good to be back." "Its good to have you back Master Windu" Obi-Wan said. Leia commed The Ralroost "Admiral could you send Jacen ,Jaina and Vergere here. There are some people I'd like them to meet." ************************************************************ Jacen Jaina and Vergere walked onto the ship. Han and Mara stood there to greet them. As soon as the three newcomers walked iin they say dozens of jedi greeting them. Vergere ran over immediately to the jedi greeting her old friends. Jacen and Jaina looked for their mom and uncle. They found them talking with a woman who looked alot like their mother. The woman smiled and walked down to greet them. "Aren't you going to greet your grandmother?" she said. The twins stared in disbelief. Padme hugged her two grandchildren. " Follow me" she said. The twins Luke and Leia followed Padme back to Anakin's cylinder. "Your mother wanted to wait til you arrived." Padme said. she walked over to Anakin's cylinder and pushed the console. Anakin Skywalker opened his eyes. He saw his wife, children and his grandchildren. Before he could say anything, his lips were locked with his wife's "I've been waiting fifty years to do that again she said. Anakin walked over and hugged his family. *************************************************************** Chapter 4 Omini was not happy. Delivering news like this to someone like Shimarra would make scared. "Supreme One" he began. "What is it?" Shimarra boomed. "I have news of the fleet" Omini said "And..." Shimarra demanded. " The battle was lost. Not one ship survived." "And Waxlan Lah?" "Dead" " So he was not a coward like Nom Anor. The gods shall give him what he deserves. And what of the hunt for the traitor Nom Anor?" "We believe he escaped." "Where can he go. The infidels want his had as do we. Death will follow Nom Anor wherever he may go. Eventually it will snare him" Shimarra laughed. "Supreme One?" Omini asked. "Doesn't the fleet need a new warmaster." "It does and it will have one... me" ********************************************************* Luke went in to talk with Yoda and Mace Windu. "It has been hard not knowing much of the old order. We located as much as we could find but Palpatine destroyed most of it." "Thought of that we did" Yoda replied. He pointed to a large computer. " Here all the knowledge of the old order can be found." "And what of the New Order Master Skywalker?" Mace Windu asked. " The Yuuhzan Vong destroyed much of what we had built. the acedemy the center on coruscant and the jedi themselves." " Do you have a Jedi Council?" Windu asked. " Sort of" Luke replied. "The politcians were against the formation of a council, so the Chief of State and I came up with a compromise." "A compromise?' Mace asked. " A council made of six jedi and six branches of the republic including the chief of state himself." "I see" Mace said. " I believe a new council is needed Master Skywalker" "What do you have in mind Master Windu.?" Luke asked intrigued. " A Jedi Council composed of twelve jedi from the old order and twelve jedi from the new order." " I do not think the Senate will agree." Luke said. "The Jedi were almst extint because of the senate. No more. We will announce our plans and whether or not the senate agrees makes no difference. Master Skywalker I would like to also keep your current council if the Chief of state agrees." "I'm confused Master Windu. I thought the Senate did not matter." "It will not affect the formation of a new council but because of our lack of involvement we were easily defeated. No more. With this new threat of the Yuuhzan Vong the Jedi must be involved in the republic." "Agreed Master Windu" Yoda said. "Master Skywalker decide which other members you want on your council. We already have a full council. " Mace said "I think I know who I wish to add."Luke said. "We have to get prepared to explain this you know." Luke added " We know and are prepared." Mace said **************************************************************** After the Anakin and Padme were left alone, Padme turned to Anakin. " There is something else I've been waiting fifty years to do" she said Anakin smiled." Oh really. Perhaps we can find a room" SMACK! "How dare you turn on your family!" "You killed the jedi the ones who freed you from slavery. Without them you'd have died a slave!" She screamed. "It was Qui-Gon who freed me not the jedi" Anakin defended SMACK! "So you think Qui-Gonn would be happy that you killed half his friends!" "Because of you I lost fifty years of my life! I didn't get to raise my children and see them grow up. Because of you your children grew up wondering about their parents!" But Palpatine was so influental I couldn't think straight!" Anakin again tried to defend He tried to avoid the next blow but failed SMACK! Your the chosen one Anakin like hell you couldn't think straight! You knew it was wrong but Palpatine always reassured you telling you it was right. "But Angel" Anakin pleaded. SMACK! "Don't angel me. You killed killed Jar Jar, Bail, Owen and Beru. And unlike Mace and Obi-Wan they aren't coming back!" "Answer me this" she said. "What again said now standing five feet away from her. "Would you have killed me?" she asked "Of course not angel" SMACK! How could she reach that far? Anakin wondered. "You totured your son and daughter. What would have stopped you from killing me. "I love you" he said. SMACK! "You loved Obi-Wan like a father and that didn't stop you from killing him!" "But that's a different love" Anakin defended. SMACK! Anakin's face was now all black and blue. "I see no difference. Luke saved you and your his father. He cares about you like you cared about Obi-Wan"."You wanted to kil him because Palpatine said to. "NO I wanted to kill him because of what he did to my body" Anakin said Uh-Oh Anakin thought. SMACK SMACK SMACK! OH NO NOT!!! Anakin thought. Padme lifted her leg. Anakin fell to the ground in pain. "That's not even half of what you deserve!" She said. "Angel" Ankin squeaked. "I didn't mean that." "It was your own fault about what happened to your body not Obi-Wan's." "Your right" he squeaked. "How Luke and Leia can forgive you is beyond me." "Your right. I can't understand it either." Anakin said "I don't deserve your forgiveness or theirs yet but I will earn it" "Good" she said She helped Anakin up off the ground. "You can start by apologizing to everyone you've hurt. Anakin turned to Padme. "Angel words can't express how sorry I am for hurting you. If I could change the past I would but I can't. I hope you will except my apology." Anakin said She smiled and kissed him. "That's one now all you have to do is apologize to the republic the jedi and your children and there children including little Ben. "Yes dear" Anakin said ******************************************************** Chapter 5 Nom Anor had heard about the defeat of Tsavong Lah. Wheb he had he ran and ran and did not stop until he stole a ship then he jumped into hyperspace and landed on this planet. Naboo He thought. Its not on any map they will never find me. Indeed it would be hard to find Nom Anor in the underwater city. Above the once beautiful planet of Naboo was destroyed wasteland. The beautiful plantlife was burned to ashes, the beautiful cities lied in ruins. No life existed above or underwater. Only Nom Anor lived here now. ********************************************************** Anakin Skywalker walked into his grandson's room. He picked up Ben and sat down in a nearby rocker. "Ben I don't know if you can understand me, but he I go" Ben's only response was looking up and making little noises. "Ben" Anakin said."I did very bad things. I hurt lots of people including your daddy, aunt Leia and uncle Han and even your grandma. I wish I hadn't done these things and hope that they will forgive me. I hope you can forgive your grandpa too.I love you and promise never to hurt you or anyone else ever again. Ben looked at Anakin. "Gwampa" Anakin was shocked. He smiled at Ben and kissed his forhead. Once Ben had fallen asleep in Anakin's arms, Anakin lied him in his crib and quietly left. *************************************************** Anakin had another stop to make. He walked toward Obi-Wan's quarters and knocked on the door. Obi-Wan opened the door to see Anakin with Padme's handprints all over his face. Note to self stay on Padme's good side" Obi-Wan mentally thought. "Anakin. Hello." Obi-Wan said. "I'm sorry for killing you" Anakin blurted out. "I thought you already apologized after you died" Obi-Wan said. "I did what I wanted to say it again now that we are alive again."Anakin said "Padme's making you do this isn't she?" Obi-Wan said Anakin was shocked "How did you guess?" "Looks like you and her had a little talk about turning to the darkside." Obi-Wan replied pointing to Anakin's fresh bruises. He chuckled "Come on inside we'll watch Luke, Mace and Yoda on the Holonet. Anakin smiled and walked in. ************************************************ "Outragous!" Senator Poe screamed. "You have no authority!" Senator Fyor Rodan screamed. "Senator's please!" Chief of State Cal Omis pleaded. "Enough!" Mace Windu boomed. The chamber went dead silent. Yoda ignited his saber and turned to Rodan "Our authority this is!" Yoda said. "See!"Pwoe screamed."The Jedi wish to rule us" Yoda unable to stand Pwoe's rants raised a hand. Pwoe was lifted off his feet. "Listen to Master Windu and Master Skywalker you will or make you listen I will!" Yoda said Pwoe instantly was quiet and Yoda lowered him to the floor. "As I was saying" Mace Windu continued. "We will be reestablishing the Jedi Council and become more involved in the military. Especially because of this new threat of the Yuuhzan Vong. The Jedi will not stand by and have a threat as great as Palpatine destroy this republic!" "You Jedi have been frozen for fifty years! Much has changed I refuse to allow you to take over this Republic"Rodan screamed. "You are a fool Rodan!" Admiral Ackbar shouted. "The Jedi were the backbone of the Old Republic and it was the jedi who have helped us the most in this war. While this Senate refused to believe the Yuuhzan Vong was a threat, the jedi led the offensive front againt these invaders in the process sacrificing many jedi." "I agree with the honorable Admiral and wish to express my hapiness that the Admiral has decided to return to service." Releqy A'kla said ["The Jedi have continued to fight for us while people like Fey'la handed jedi o ver willingly to the enemy in the hopes of making peace with the enemy. The Yuuhzan Vong cannot be trustedand because this Senate was blind to this fact we lost Coruscant."] Senator Triebakk roared. "Jedi lovers!" Rodan roared. Luke stood up "The Senate has no choice to accept the council. They can do nothing to stop it "I will not allow this! We will stop it!" Rodan declared. Yoda looked at the senator and in an instand Rodan was hovering in front of Yoda "Sick of you I am. Dealt with many Senators like you I have. A fool I am not. See your plan I do!" "Ha! Its too late to stop it" Rodan screamed. "Wrong you are"Yoda replied calmly. He closed his eyes and in seconds the doors of the Senate chamber flew open and dozens of yslamari hovered in. "Think to stop us you did?" Yoda moved his hand in a petting motion and the yslamari purred softly. Yoda brought the animals to the podium and continued to pet them. "Knew how to stop a yslamari force bubble the old order did. Teach it to the New Order we shall. Failed your plan has." Rodan and Pwoe for once in their life were speechless. "I believe it is time for the Senate to vote" Cal Omas said. "All those oppossed to the formation of a new council Fyor Pwoe and their supporters found their voice again but one look at Yoda stopped them. "All those in favor" Cal said. Cheers of approval rang out through the Senate. "The motion passes. The Senate is ajourned. **************************************************** Chapter 6 "We will be reestablishing the Jedi Council and become more involved in the military. Especially because of this new threat of the Yuuhzan Vong. The Jedi will not stand by and have a threat as great as Palpatine destroy this republic!" "And there you have it the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic have survived and the Jedi Council is to be reestablished." said the reporter. "This is.." Supreme Overlord Shimrra threw a amphistaff at the infedel technology the subaltern brought. "More Jeedai live?" Shimarra roared. "Yes Supreme One" High priest Jaken said. "How is this possible?" Shimrra demanded. "Is it not true that the ones called Vader, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda were killed long ago?" "Yes sir it is but.." "THEN HOW ARE THEY ALIVE?" Shimrra demanded. " It seems those jeedai cloned themselves with infidel machines while the other froze themselves." "These Jeedai are cowards then to run from a fight .They are no problem." Shimrra said "I beg to differ Dread One" Yoog Shell said. "The one called Vader killed the Emperor." "Did he not serve this Emperor" Shimrra asked. "He did but he rebeled and killed the Emperor." "And what of the others?" Shimrra asked. "They are worthy foes not to be underestimated." Yoog Shell said "And what about this Council of Jeedai?" "It could be very dangerous Siupreme One" Jakan said " Then we must destroy this Council" Shimrra said. ************************************** "We will be reestablishing the Jedi Council and become more involved in the military. Especially because of this new threat of the Yuuhzan Vong. The Jedi will not stand by and have a threat as great as Palpatine destroy this republic!" Obi-Wan shut off the Holonet. "Well looks like Yoda put the Senate in their place" Obi-Wan commented "Better Yoda instead of Padme" Anakin said Obi-Wan chuckled. "I have to go apologize to Master Windu now." Anakin said. "May the Force be with you" Obi-Wan said ***************************************** "Listen to Master Windu and Master Skywalker you will or make you listen I will!" "Looks like Yoda has changed "Mara said to Luke indicating the Holonet. "Pwoe and Rodan have never been so afraid." Luke said. The Holonet now showed Rodan and Pwoe's shocked faces as the yslamari hovered above their heads "Knew how to stop a yslamari force bubble the old order did. Teach it to the New Order we shall. Failed your plan has." "Its theVong who should be afraid now." "I agree now that we have learned how to stop the yslamari" "No I meant they should be afraid of Yoda and your mother for that matter. Did you see what she did to your dad. He's limping. If you ever did that to me Skywalker, you'd be in the med center for a month." "I see what you mean" Luke said.

"That must have been a very unique experiment" Bant Eerin said "That's the nice way of putting it" Vergere replied. "So has the military found any use for your knowledge?" Siri Tachi asked "Not to my knowledge,however they don't trust me. They did come up with a horrible plague to wipe out the entire Yuuhzan Vong." Vergere said "Barbaric!" The Dark Woman exclaimed. "I sabatoged it buying us time" Vergere said. "You forgot to mention the part about Omas saying that Alpha Red is only a last resort thanks to Ackbar's brilliant plan." Anakin Skywalker added as he walked in "Anakin is it true you and Obi-Wan went to Zonama Sekot?" Vergere asked "Yes" Anakin replied. "Your seedpartners left us the message." "What happened to them?" Vergere asked. "They became a ship, but it died." Anakin replied sadly. " I see". Vergere replied. "I came here to fetch Bant and A'shared." "Is it time for you to leave all ready?" Vergere asked.

"If anyone has a problem with me being on the Senate you can talk to me , or you can talk to my husband. "I'm not as kind and forgiving as my husband" Padme said Everyone had seen Anakin Skywalker's bruises. No one wanted to get on Padme's bad side. Cheers erupted again.

"I need jedi who I can trust and rely on and who have experience fighting the Vong." Luke. "Who else is are you going to ask?" Corran asked. "I'm not sure yet." Luke admitted. "Will you be on my council?" "If that is what you wish Master I will serve on the council." "Thanks Corran. I have more stops to make. Good-Bye" "May the Force be with you" Corran said. *********************************** Luke found Kam teaching a few jedi.

"Students you are dismissed for now" Kam said "What can I do for you Luke?" Kam asked. "I want you on the council." "I need to teach the children." Kam said "We are rebuilding the Temple. The children will be protected by us. When your not at meetings, you can still teach" "Who else is on the council?"Kam asked. "Cilghal ,Kyp ,Saba Sebatyne ,Mara ,Kenth , Tresina and Corran " Luke replied "Alright Luke I will join the council provided I can still teach."

"As you know I am rebuilding the council." Luke said "Yes we heard" Kirana said. "Well I think you two are deserving of a seat on the council" Luke said. "I would be honored Master" Streen said. "As would I" Kirana said. "Thank you"Luke said. Luke sensed it and dodged just in time as a rock wizzed by his ear.

Good luck and May the Force be with you" Luke said. "Your mother, Han and Leia are inside" Anakin said. He hopped into his speeder and took off. "Luke, How nice to see you" Padme said. "Hi mom" Luke said "I need to speak with Leia" "I'm right here" Leia said."What do you need?" "Can I talk with you in private?" Luke asked. "Sure" Leia replied. "Leia, what are you doing for a job right now?"Luke said "Nothing" Leia admitted "I want you to be on the council and maybe teach some of the younger jedi."Luke said "Your joking" Leia replied. "No I'm not" Luke said "Luke I'm not a Jedi Master. I can't teach." "I'm sure you can"Luke said "Leia I need you with me. I need people I love and trust on thi council." "Alright Luke" "Thanks" "Will you be staying for dinner?"Padme asked "Sure mom" Luke replied. **************************** "As many of you know Naboo was attacked by the Empire my hope is to get the cities rebuilt so refugees may have a home." "Where is this planet Naboo?" Shimrra asked " We will find it Supreme One." Jakan replied. "And destroy it" Shimrra added. **************************** Chapter 9 "I'd like to welcome everyone here for our first meeting as a full Jedi Council." Luke said. The council was set up so that the old and new order weren't seperated. Yoda was at the head, to his left sat Mace Windu. To Yoda's right sat Luke, To Luke's right sat Mara and to her right sat Aayla to Aayla's right sat Quinlan Vos. To Quinlan's right sat Corran Horn. Next to Corran was Kam.

"I have the perfect team" Kyp Durron said. "Lobacca and Zekk. They currently are flying with Twin Suns, but I think they could be more useful at Naboo." "Interesting suggestion Kyp" Corran Horn said "However not one jedi of the new order has been to Naboo ." Mara Jade said. "Perhaps we should send Tholme and The Dark Woman" Luminara Unduli suggested. "They have been to Naboo. They helped settle that crisis with miners." "Both useful those jedi are. Send all four we will" Yoda said. "We have another matter" Luke said. "Vergere wishes some jedi to go with her in search of Zonama Sekot. She believes the planet is the key to stopping the Yuuhzan Vong." "Barriss Offee and Siri Tachi would be good" Adi Gallia said. "And Jacen will no doubt want to go with Vergere" Leia said. "I believe Tahiri would also be useful." Kam said. "Both Jacen and Tahiri have spent time with the Yuuhzan Vong their experience might help. "You must forget that Vergere wants to go" Ki-Adi pointed out. "I believe Vergere should become a Master." Plo Koon said. "Explain to the council why" Mace Windu said. "Her time with the Yuuhzan Vong alone is a good enough reason." Saesee Tiin said. "But she also saved Zonoma Sekot" Aayla pointed out. "And she healed me of my disease with her tears" Mara said. "And kept Jacen alive"Leia said. "But what about the cruel punishments she gave Jacen?" Kam Solusar added. "I believe regardless of what she did, she is truly a jedi and deserves the rank of Master" Luke said. "I'd like to raise another topic" Aayla said. "As you know during the Clone Wars, we had a squadron of Jedi Starfighters to battle the enemy. I propose we form another squadron." "I support this proposal and hope to be one of the pilots" Adi Gallia added "This would satisfy Admiral Kre'Fey's wish for more Jedi pilots." Luke said. "I'm for it"Kyp Durron said. "The motion passes" Mace Windu said. He turrned to Adi and Aayla. "You two Master Durron and Master Sebatyne are in charge of forming this squadron." "Az you wiz Mazter Windu" Seba said.

Vergere said "As soon as possible" Leia said. "One more thing Vergere" Plo Koon said The council stood up and ignited their sabers. "Congratulations" Plo said "Jedi Vergere" Yoda said." Bestow on you the title of Jedi Master the council does." Vergere was speechless. The council shutdown their blades and each member shook her hand.

"Lobacca and Zekk have been notified and will be here tomorrow" Mara said. "You will leave as soon as possible" Kit Fisto said. "Any questions?"Saesee Tiin asked. "No Master" they replied. "May the force be with you "Yoda said. ******************************* Chapter 10 "Mom" Leia said at dinner."The council is sending Jedi to Naboo as you requested. "Thank you dear" Padme said. "I only wish you and your brother could have seen Naboo before it was destroyed." "I do too. How's dad?" Leia said "He was almost at the Remnant when I last spoke with him. Where's Han?" "Picking up Jacen and Jaina." The doorbell rang. "Maybe that's them."Padme said. She opened the door to see Luke Mara and Ben. "Hi mom" Luke said."Are we too late for dessert?" "He haven't had dinner yet."Leia said. "Have you three eaten yet?" Padme said "No" Mara admitted. "Gwama"Ben said. "Hello to you too." Padme said. "Gwama Gwama!!!" Ben said. Mara handed Ben to Padme. "He likes you alot"Luke said. " And why wouldn't he. I'm his grandma after all." "True, but I think he likes you more than the rest of us."Luke said. "Leia would you add three more plates to the table?" Padme said "I'll help Mara said." After Mara and Leia went to the kitchen, Luke sat down on the rug with Padme and Ben. They were rolling a ball back and forth until Ben decided to levitate it. Padme laughed as Luke tried to catch it. Ben let him have the ball it landed on Luke's head. Padme had tears streaming down her face as she watched Luke trying tell Ben no. Instead Ben levitated Luke like the ball and made him bounce around the celing. Mara came in with Leia and the two were on the floor laughing with Padme. Luke not finding it funny said "A little help!" "S sure Sky wwallker" Mara said in between laughs. "Ben could you please put daddy down?" Mara asked. "No" Ben said. "Okay. Sorry Skywalker." Mara said "What?" Luke asked. Padme took Ben's free hand. "Grandpa and I would like it if you'd put daddy down." Padme said. "Okay Gwama" Ben said. He put Luke down and Mara, Leia and Padme resumed laughing. Ben joined in too. "The great Master Luke Skywalker levitated up in the air by a two year old!" Mara said Luke turned bright red. The doorbell rang. "I'll get it" Padme said. "Why Han, what a pleasant surprise." Padme said "Hello Jacen, Hello Jaina." "Hi grandma" Jaina said. "Jaina can I see you for a moment."Luke said "Sure" "The rest of us will be in the dining room" Padme said. Once everyone but Luke and Jaina went in the dining room Luke turned to Jaina. "Today the Council made a few decisions" He began "What does it have to do with me?" Jaina asked. " Lobacca and Zekk are being pulled for a mission, as is Jacen and Tahiri." Luke replied "I see, so Twin Suns will need new pilots temporarily."Jaina said "No Twin Suns will need pemant non-jedi pilots." Luke said "Huh?" Jaina asked. "That is another decision the council made. We are forming at least four all jedi squadrons. We'd like you as leader of one of the squadrons. " Luke said "Who are the other Leaders?" Jaina asked "Kyp and Aayla Secura and Adi Gallia" Luke replied "Alright I'll do it. Jag can take Twin Suns." "Thanks Jaina. Send Jacen in."Luke said "Sure" Jaina replied. ****************************** "Supreme One, We have found the planet Naboo" Jakan said "Send a few troops in do it quietly."Shimrra said "As you wish Supreme One" Jakan replied "When refugees arrive infiltrate them and slowly destroy them"Shimrra said.

"As you wish Supreme one" The communication ended. ****************** "Jacen" Luke said. "Vergere Tahiri and you will be going with knights Barriss Offee and Siri Tachi to Zonama Sekot" "Is it true Vergere i now a Jedi Master?" Jacen asked. "Yes its true. She is in charge of this mission" "When do we leave?" Jacen asked. "As soon as the team is ready" Luke replied. "Let's go eat dinner" Luke said ********************* Nom Anor sat in his little home in one of the few remaining homes in Otah Gunga. He was hungry. "Nothing to eat!" he screamed He looked out his window to see the remaining survivors of the Empire's attack, fish. Nom Anor grabbed his ooglith cloaker and his gnullith and headed outside to catch dinner. "The great Nom Anor reduced to hiding out in a backwater planet, with no food and having to catch his meals." The fish swam away. Nom Anor groaned. There wan't going to be a dinner tonight. "Even the fish mock me!" he screamed. *********************** Chapter 11 "Greeting Lord Vader" Moff Danhum said "My name is Anakin Skywalker." Anakin said "Master Skywalker to you" Obi-Wan added. The Jedi had just exited their ship and were greeted by this idiot. Admiral Pelleon was no where to be seen. "Where is the Admiral?" Bant asked. "I'm afraid the Admiral was called to a very important meeting Master Eerin"Baron Soontir Fel said. "The Admiral will be with you shortly"Soontir added. "I'll show you to your quarters" Danhum said. "Thank you Moff Danhum" A'shared Hett said. ********************************* "Gentleman I'm sorry to keep you waiting"Admiral Pelleon said "No need to apologize Admiral"Bant said. "I beg to differ. Sending us some disrespectful idiot Moff who refuses to believe Vader is dead" Obi-Wan said "I'm afraid most of the Moffs are incompitent fools who do not believe the Empire died." Pelleon replied. "Lets get down to business" Anakin said. " Of course" Pelleon added. "The New Republic once again wishes to ask for your aid in the war against the Yuuhzan Vong" Ashared said. "I wish I could help, but those idiot Moffs are blind to the fact that the Yuuhzan Vong won't forget about us after they defeat the New Republic" "I don't believe the Republic is losing" Obi-Wan said. "Last time I checked three quarters of the Yuuhzan Vong fleet was wiped out by New Republic forces." Obi-Wan added "I'm afraid the bafoons think its dumbluck that will end soon"Pelleon said. "But perhaps if Master Skywalker could give the Moffs his take on the war they might be persuaded otherwise." he added "I don't think..." Anakin started to say "I believe that won't bbe necessary." Obi-Wan said. "Senator Amidala would gladly tell the Moffs her own view on the war" Obi-Wan added "Anakin is forbidden to persuade the empire" Bant said " I see. I'll set up a communication so Senator Amidala can speak with the Moffs." "We have also been instructed to answer any questions about the reestablishment of the Jedi Council" Ashared said. "I believe Master Windu's speech gave us enough information." "As you wish. Lets set up that meeting." Anakin said. *************************************** Jaina arrived at the Ralroost and was greeted by Jagged Fel. She ran over into his arms and kissed him. "Hi" he said "Hi" Jaina said. "Admiral Traest wants to see you." Jag said. "I need to see him " Jaina said. Jag and Jaina walked into Traest's office. "Jaina, The Council told me you'd be arriving. What is going on?" Traest asked "I have good news Admiral the Council is allowing the formation of five all jedi squadrons." Jaina said "Wonderful!" Traest exclaimed. "I'm also here to give you my resignation and the resignation of all jedi pilots from Twin Suns and recommend that Colonel Fel lead the squadron." Both Traest and Jag were shocked. "Why are you leaving?" Traest asked. "Surely they have enough jedi" Traest added. "I've been selected to lead one of the squadrons" Jaina said. "I see" Traest said. "Good Luck Jaina." Traest said "Thank you Admiral" Jaina said. She saluted and left the office. Jag caught up with her. "Jaina your not leaing are you?" Jag asked "No not yet" She said "Good" Jag said "Lets go enjoy our time together" She said ********************************** "This is outragous! First you order us to accept your council, now you are forming Jedi Squadrons!" Fyor Roda screamed "You have gone too far!" Pwoe said "Ohh shut up already" Mace Windu said. "How dare you talk to us that way!" Pwoe said "How dare you breath" Padme said. "Excuse me?" Pwoe asked confused. "You heard me. How dare you live? Your hogging all the good air with your long winded speeches and protests. Cal, Luke and Mace tried to hide their snickers. Pwoe turned bright red and hurredly left the room. "You haven't heard the last of me!" Pwoe screamed. "Unfortunally" Padme replied. The chamber errupted with laughter. "I find none of this funny!" Rodan said "This Senate is a puppet show manipulated by Jedi and jedi lovers." Yoda deciding he was tired of Rodan used the force to move Rodan's body. "Dance puppet." Yoda said Rodan body started moving in odd dances. while his mouth uttered curses until Yoda decided to make him sing. The Senate once again erupted with laughter. Yoda overcome by laughter lost his control on Rodan. Fyor followed Pwoe's lead and ran to the exit. "I think this meeting is ajourned" Cal said. "What about the squadrons?" Luke asked. "I think from now on the Jedi don't need the Senate's approval." Cal said "Most of Pwoe's supporters are either afriad of you or have lost all respect for Pwoe and Rydon. Their isn't much oppostition any longer." Cal said. "Good" Padme said. " Now if you'll excuse me, I have a meeting with some stubborn Moffs." **************************** "Dread One the fleet reports having infiltrated Naboo. They are starting to set up camp and investigate how best this planet will serve our needs." Omini reported "Excellent" Shimrra said. "What now?"

Why should the Empire waste..." "WHAT EMPIRE. THERE IS NO EMPIRE" Padme screamed "But but Senator surely you... "SURELY I WHAT? SURELY I SEE THE VONG ARE A THREAT GREATER THAN YOUR PITIFUL EMPIRE EVER WAS!!!" Padme yelled. "THE EMPIRE IS GREAT!!!" A foolish Moff declared. "GREAT? LOOK AROUND YOU. YOU HAVE NO EMPIRE. AS SOON AS THE VONG DESTROY THE NEW REPUBLIC YOU'LL BE NEXT AND YOU'LL BE OBLITERATED!!!" Anakin, Obi-Wan and Pelleon silently left the room leaving the Moffs to their fate. "I don't know who is worse you or Padme." "Darth Amidala would be a lot scarier than Vader ever was" Anakin remarked. "YOU ARE ALL FOOLS!!!" Padme's voice echoed down the hall. ********************************** Padme walked into Cal Omas' office accompanied by Leia. "Senator Amidala, Councilor Organa. What can I do for you?" Cal asked Padme whispered into Leia's ear. "My mother has exhausted her voice so I will deliver the news." Leia said. "And what news is that?" Cal asked. "The Empire has decided to join us in the war against the Yuuhzan Vong." Leia said. "Wonderful!" Cal exclaimed He looked at Padme and then at Leia. "Senator Amidala, Were you the one who...persuaded the Moff council to finaly allow the Empire to join the war?" Cal asked Padme nodded. "I see" he said. "I hope your voice heals soon." ***************************** Chapter 13 "Ani I'm so glad your home" Padme said. Her voice had returned. Anakin sat on the couch in their living room. "I'm glad to be back Angel" Anakin replied. The comm buzzed. Anakin walked over and turned it on. An image of Obi-Wan and Luke appeared. "Hello father.The council wishes to have a report on your findings" Luke said. "Luke, Obi-Wan would you two like to come over for dinner tonight?" Padme asked. "Of course" Obi-Wan said. "I'll leave right now" Anakin said "See you there" Obi-Wan said. Anakin kissed Padme goodbye and hopped in his landspeeder. Before Anakin arrived at the Temple, he felt a great surge in the force. As he pulled up, he saw the disturbance, protestors. The Council stood outside sabers ignited, warding of the crowd. Yoda said something but Anakin couldn't hear him over the shouts of the protestors. Suddenly The crowd turned violent and blasterfire erupted. Anakin jumped out of the speeder and somersaulted over a group of protestors landing by Luke, his saber igniting just in time to block a blaster shot. ****************************************** "Get the children to safety!" Mace Windu yelled into the comm. "And call the military immediatly!" He added. Yoda was wasting no time into disarming the protestors. Guns where flying left and right out of their hands and landing on the roof of the Temple. "Disperse Immediately You should" Yoda said. The crowd did not disperse, instead they turned more violent bring out vibroblades and other weapons. Yoda lifted a few protestors in the air, hoping to scare the crowd away, but instead they became more aggresive trying to break into the Temple. "If you do not disperse immediately, we cannot promise that we won't harm you" Luke said. His response was a blastershot to his thigh that Luke managed to deflect. "Its no use!" Obi-Wan said. "Protect yourselves but try not to harm the protestors severely" Mace shouted. The Council attacked the protestors,doing their best not to harm the protestors. but it was inevitable. An hand went , then an arm and then the crowd became more vicious. And then a single scream was heard. A sullstan protestor lied on the floor dead, standing above the dead protestor was jedi Tresina Lobi. The crowd started hurling rocks and anything else they could find at the poor jedi. One rock hit Tresina on the temple knocking her uncouncious. Yoda, Mace Aayla, Plo, Luke, Mara and Anakin were there in an instand protecting her from further attacks. Kam Solusar picked up Tresina's uncounscious body and was escorted to the Temple by Corran, Kenth, Saesee, Quinlan and Obi-Wan. The other Jedi started in also deflecting more blows. Eventually all the jedi made it inside. "Get all uncall jedi here and move the students and padawans to the underground levels and get Master Lobi to the Med bay" Mace shouted into his comm "Look out!" Kyp screamed. The jedi dived out of the way of Anakin's landspeeder as a protester drove it through the doors of the Temple. "Padme's gonna kill me!" Anakin said. "Not if they kill us first!" Luke said. "Personally I think Padme would kill them" Obi-Wan said. Blasterfire rang through the halls. The Jedi moved further back for protection. "Where the hell is the military" Corran screamed. Luke turned to Aayla Kyp and Adi. "Get your pilots and head take the starfighters out and protect the Temple!" Luke shouted. The three jedi ran down the halls to the elevator shouting into their comms. "Jaina grab the pilots and meet us at the docking bay" Kyp yelled. Jedi knights and masters came down the stairs sabers ignited. Aayla turned to them. "Get them out of here!' she said. ********************************* Senators Pwoe and Rodan watched from Pwoe's apartment as the protestors invaded the Temple. Pwoe smiled "Phase 1 is working perfectly" ******************************* "General Antilles,the Cheif of State demands to speak to you its an emergency. Wedge went into his office and activated the comm. A very distraught Cal Omas appeared "Chief" Wedge said "Protestors have attacked the Jedi Temple. They have requested military aid. The riot is getting bad. The protestors are in the temple." "I'll send our soldiers right away"Wedge said. He cut the communication. Tcho walked in. "What was that about. I'll tell you on the way.Contact Lando. We may need some of his droids." ******************************** "Jedi Leader to Force leader" Aayla said. "Jedi leader I copy you" Adi said. "Saber leader to Knight leader. Jaina you there?" Kyp asked "Knight Leader to Saber leader I copy. lets go" "Okay you know the plan" Aayla said. "May the Force be with us" Adi said. The four Jedi squadrons shot out of the hanger. ******************************** "Vergere , Where is Zonama Sekot?"Jacen asked "According to Obi-Wan and Anakin's report, it moved. So we have to find it." "How?" Tahiri asked. "The being Sekot is alive. We can use the force to try and find the planet." Vergere replied. "What do you expect to find there?" Siri asked. "I don't know. I believe Zonama Sekot is the key to defeating the Yuuhzan Vong." Vergere replied. "Let's hope your right" Barriss said. Possible vong name-Timsh Hul and Slegna Carr? ******************************* Chapter 14 Nom Anor walked into the Yuuhzan Vong outpost in disguise. "Timsh Hul, what have you discovered." A warrior asked. "An infidel ship has landed on the planet. I believe they may be jeedai." Nm Anor replied. "Take a team and capture the infidels" The warrior said Nom Anor bowed and walked out. ************************************ "We have been here for three days. What else do we need to investigate?" Zekk asked. "We will split up into teams. The Dark Woman and I will go investigate the underwater city Otah Gunga. You and Lobacca will investigate the ruins of the capital theed." Tholme replied. "Be careful" The Dark Woman said. Zekk and Lowie left the camp and headed to Theed. Tholme and The Dark Woman left shortly after. *********************************** "Look at this. Cities still standing and fully functional" Tholme said. "And the other cities could easily be repaired." The Dark Woman said. The two jedi went into the next surriving bubble. "Tholme, Look over there" The Dark Woman said "Someone has been living here recently" Tholme remarked They search the quarters and found living technology. "The Yuuhzan Vong are here" The Dark Woman said. "We must alert the others immediately!" Tholme said. The two jedi hurried as fast as they could back to camp. ********************************** Tholme and The Dark Woman arrived at camp first. Hours later Zekk and Lobacca had still not returned. Tholme tried repeatedly calling them on the comlinks but all the recieved was static. "What now?" The Dark Woman asked. "I will stay here. Take the ship back to Mon Calamari and ask the council to send help." Tholme replied. "Couldn't they just be taking a little longer getting back?" she asked. A surge of pain from the two missing jedi answered her question. The Dark Woman raced to the ship and took off immediately.Tholme watched the ship take off. ************************************ "Excellent work Timsh Hul" The warrior said. "Thank you Slegna Carr." Nom Anor replied. Nom Anor watched as Yuuhzan Vong warriors dragged in the uncouncious forms of Zekkand Lobacca. "Put them in the embrace of pain" Slegna Carr said. ************************************ Zekk awoke in an excruciating amount of pain. He was suspended in what he guessed was the Embrace of Pain that Jacen had told him about. "His saber was gone and he hung there half naked and bloody. He tried to remember what happened . Lowie and him had arrived at Theed and were investigting the ruins when they were ambushed by Yuuhzan Vong. Zekk looked around searching for Lowbacca and found him hanging the embrace also still uncouncious. The door slid open and a Yuuhzan Vong warrior walked in. Zekk recognised him, he was one of the warriors who attacked Zekk. The warrior walked up to him and whispered in his ear. "Jeedai help!" Zekk was shocked. "What" he asked. "I am in need of your help" The warrior said. "Why should I help you?" Zekk spat. "Because I am your only way out of here." The Yuuhzan Vong turned to leave. "I will be back later." the warrior said ****************************** Padme couldn't believe her eyes the holonet was brodcasting an attack on the Temple. She saw her husband and son fighting the protestors she saw leia protecting Tresina after she was attacked She saw the jedi retreat and then she saw the protestors crash her landspeeder into the Temple My brand new speeder! That tears it! First they attack my family, then they destroy my property! I'll make them wish tey were never born! Just then the comm buzzed. It was Han. "Padme I assume you've seen the news?" "Yes "she replied anger rising inside of her. "The military is getting involved and so am I. "I need a someone toman the turrets."Han said "I'll be right over. Oh no wait I have no speeder." Padme said "I'll swing by and pick you up." Han replied. "I'll be waiting" Padme said. And they thought Vader's revenge was bad. Wait til they see how I get my revenge!" ******************************** Chapter 15 "Luke look out!" Obi-Wan shouted. Luke turned just in time to disarm a protestor. The wounded protestor ran away. It was then that Luke saw a tatoo on the man's arm. "Its the peace brigade! " Luke shouted. Realization and shock came through the force as the jedi realized what happened. Mace took out his comm."The protestors are Peace Brigade, They won't stop til we're dead. Kill them" "Acknowledged Master Windu" Aayla said. "Change of plans, shoot the protestors." Kyp said The four jedi squadrons dove down and flew over the crowd outside shooting blasterfire. "Sithspawn!" Jaina cursed. Aayla looked up to see Peace Brigade ships soar down and attack the squadron "Break off and shoot those ships" "Hey Kid mind if we join" Han said to Jaina over the comm. The Millenium Falcon Soared by laser turrets blasting ship by ship into oblivion. "You no good nerfherders destroying my speeder. Your gonna learn don't mess with Padme! Too bad you won't live long enough to warn the others!" Padme said "Oh grandma is here too and she saw the news" Jaina said. "Yep. I actually feel a little sorry for them." Han replied. Padme's comm crackled to life "Hi honey." Anakin said. "Hi dear. Tell Obi-Wan dinner is still on. In fact I'm cooking it right now." Padme shot another ship. "Umm dear I don't think Obi-Wan eats meat." Anakin said. "Alright I'll make a vegetatarian meal for Obi-Wan." Padme said. "I gotta go Ani. Work is murder." "Same here. I love you angel. See you tonight." ***************************************** The New Republic ships landed near the Temple. Lando powered up th YVH droids and let them out of the ship. The droids marched into the crowd and were immediatly greeted by blasterfire and shouts. The droids killed them and marched on over a few Peace Brigade bodies. "Okay lets go help the air support" Wedge said to Lando. **************************************** "No no NOOO This not how the plan is supposed to work" Pwoe cried. Fyor felt his anger rise as Phase one failed. "We must prepare for Phase 2 then" Fyor said through clenched teeth. *********************************************** Timshl Hul or Nom Anor walked back into Zekk's cell. This jedi is my only hope of escape. If this fails I'm a dead man "What now?" The human jedi spat. "I still wish for your help." Nom Anor replied. "Why did you move my friend?" The jedi asked. "I did not make that order my superiors did." Nom Anor lied. He suggested the wookie be moved so he could win the jedi's trust easier. He suggested to his superior Slegna Carr that it would make the jedi's breaking easier. "What is your name?" Nom Anor asked. "Why does it matter" The jedi said. "I perfer to sqeak to you by a name not jedi" "My name is Zekk" the jedi replied. Nom Anor walked over to Zekk. "If you do as I say, I can make this as painless as possible for you and your wookie friend" "Eat poodoo" Zekk said. Nom Anor smiled "Eventually you will learn to obey me he walked out of the room and turned to the guard. "Whip him forty times and throw him in the Embrace for the rest of the day. I will return." The warrior bowed and went into Zekk's cell Nom Anor smiled as he walked down the hall. Zekk's cries could be heard through the halls. Soon the jedi will break and I will be able to escape. **************************************** Chapter 16 Vergere sensed it first. Then the others sensed it. They had found the lost planet Zonama Sekot. "Set a course down to the planet" Vergere said. ***************************** The Dark Woman consulted a map trying to find the nearest jedi team. "Let's see on Sullest. their is a jedi team and on Ando there's a team. The Dark Woman got on the comm. "Hello Ando control center. I need to speak with Jedi Master Zao and Tr'aa Saa. "I'm afraid they are currently occupied." The controller said. "This is an urgent jedi matter. lives are at stake." She replied. "Please hold." The controller said. Infuriated , The Dark Woman yelled a few choice words, before hanging up. She called Sullest "Hello I need to speak to Jedi Bultar Swan, Stass Allie and Alema Rar immediately" "One moment while we transfer your call" The operator said. "Hello?" Bultar Swan said. "Jedi Swan, I need you all to come immediately to Naboo and on the way pick up the Jedi at Ando." "Whom am I speaking with?" Bultar asked. "The Dark Woman" she replied. "What is wrong?" Bultar asked concerned. "Two jedi have been captured by Yuuhzan Vong agents." The Dark Woman replied. "We'll leave at once to pick up the others and then meet you at Naboo." "Thank you May the Force be with us" The Dark Woman said. ********************************* "There are more ships coming." Aayla "We need to draw the ships away from the Temple" Adi said. "Han lets go!" Padme said "The Millenium Falcon soared into the formation of the new ships, turrets blasting." Over the comm everyone could hear "Die you no good nerfherding sithpiting lanspeeder crashs morons!" ****************************** Zekk hung in the Embrace of Pain. He had just been whipped forty times. What does that vong want? Its a trick. Its part of the breaking Maybe not Where is Lowie? how is he? Where are Tholme and the Dark Woman? Are they rescueing us? Were they captured Are the alive? All of these questions went through Zekk's head as he hung in the Embrace. The door slid open and the yuuhzan vong warrior entered again. "What is your name?' Zekk said weakly. "Timsh Hul" Nom Anor lied. "Have you considered my offer?" Nom Anor asked. "Only if you answer my questions"Zekk said. "You have no authority you stubborn fool" Nom ANor said He smacked Zekk across the face. "Nvertheless I'm asking" Zekk "Fine. But I will choose whether or not i want to answer." "How many jedi did you capture?" "Your wookie friend, you and two others." Nom Aor lied. Shock shown on Zekk's face. Tholme and The Dark Woman were captured. "Where are they?" Zekk asked. "Dead" Nom Anor lied again. "I had no control over that I managed to save you at least, but my superiors thought it best to sacrifice the others. So about my offer?" Nom Anor said. "I don't have much of a choice. What do you need?" Zekk said. ****************************************** Yoda charged head long into a group of Peace Brigaders who were attacking a group of younglings. A purple saber flashed through another group an in an instant the to groups attacking the younglings were dead. Luke and the some other jed were protecting the med bay, while others helped the YVH droids attack Peace Brigade. "Padme says that dinner is still on" Anakin told Obi-Wan and Luke. "I guess are meeting will have to be rescheduled" Anakin said to Luke. *************************************** "This was not how it was supposed to happen! Your agents were suppossed to blow up the Temple!" Pwoe said "DO NOT TALK TO ME LIKE THAT EVER AGAIN!" Shimrra boomed. Pwoe immediately backed down. "Since phase 1 failed, we were hoping to try phase 2" Fyor Rodan said "Yes, That will happen soon." Shimrra said. "WHEN?" Pwoe demanded. "WHEN I FEEL LIKE IT INFIDEL!" Shimrra screamed. "Contact us when you are ready" Fyor said ******************************** Chapter 17 "Twin Leader this is Knight Leader" I could use some help Jag smiled as he heard Jaina's voice of the comm. "Knight Leader I copy. Twins let's go" Twin Suns squadon joined Knight and Saber Squadron as they attacked the capital ship" "Greeting Knight leader. Would you mind if we joined the fight?" Tenel Ka asked. Hapan ships soared into the battle missels flying. "TO PALPATINE WITH YOU NERFHERDERS!" Padme screamed as the Millenium Falcon blew up the control ship. ************************************ "If you value your lives you will leave those children alone" Quinlan Vos said. "Die jedi scum!" A peace brigade soldier said. He took out his baster and aimed at a youngling. Before he even had his gone out, His head flew off. Quinlan called his saber back to his hand. Leia deflected another blastershot protecting three younglings. "Get behind me!" Leia shouted. The two children obeyed and hid behind Leia. She slowly moved backward her red blade deflectng less and less shots as the Yuuhzan Vong Hunter droids finally made it into the Jedi Temple. Yoda and his saber were a blur of motion as he bounced off walls using the force to fling protestors against the walls knocking them uncouncious. Plo Koon valiently defended the door to the Med Bay against five soldiers. His sader flew out of his hands and through the five soldiers. Mace got his comm out. "All jedi to the upper levels. et the droids take this" ************************************ "Stop!" Slagna Carr screamed at Nom Anor and Zekk. Zekk's orange blade deflected thud bugs while Nom Anor used his amphistaff against the attacking warriors. Suddenly another group appeared and more thud bugs appeared Zekk deflected them all but missed the greater threat. An amphisteff plunged into Zekk's side. Zekk killed the warrior but couldn't stand up any longer. His body collasped to the floor. "Help me Timsh" Zekk said. Nom Anor turned around and saw Zekk on the floor. He ran away a thud bug hit him tearing through his ooglith cloaker and revelaing his true identity "TRAITOR!' Zekk roared. Nom Anor laughed until he saw the incoming warriors. He took off at a fast run. He was so fixed on running he didn't hear the snap hiss sound and he ran straight through the green laser. Nom Anor's head wet flying and Tholme appeared. He parried thrust after thrust, using the force to throw the thud bugs back to their owners. In an instant, the floor was lined with bodies. Thome shut down his saber and hurried over the uncouncious form of Zekk. Using the force, he eradicated the poison from Zekk's body. Thome tore off a piece of his cloak and tied it around Zekk's wound. He took off his cloak and wrapped Zekk in it. He picked up Zekk's body and his saber and left. ********************************************* Vergere, Jacen, Tahiri, Barriss and Siri walked down the landing ramp of the ship. They were greeted by a native of Zonama Sekot. "Welcome back Jedi Vergere. Sekot is expecting you. Please follow me" He said. "We are expected?" Tahiri said. "As soon as we reached Zonama Sekot, Sekot and I communicated through our force bond." Vergere explained. "I hope we find what we are looking for" Siri said. "Please follow me" the aide repeated. The five jedi followed their guide to meet the mysterious being known as Sekot. ************************************************* The Senate was in a furious buzz. They all had learned about the attack on the Temple. Cal had called all the senators to an emergency meeting. Only three senators did not show up: Senator Amidala, who at the moment was participating in the fight against the Peace Brigade. The Senate heard her curses over the comm as they listened and watched the battle raging. The other two senators were Senators Pwoe and Fyor Rodan, who had not answered their comms. "Senators please" Cal begged. The senators continued talking loudly about the battle. "QUIET!" Admiral Ackbar yelled. The chamber immediatly quieted down. The Senate listened as a new voice appeared. "Twin Suns leader, this is your father. We here to help. Where do you want us?" The screen showed the images of Tie fighters, clawcrafts and Star Destroyers. Everyone recognized The Chimeara Admiral Pelleon's personal ship. The Chimeara aided the Hapan ships by blowing up more capital ships and control ships. Cheers rang out in the Senate. The war was about to get a whole lot easier. ****************************************** Chapter 18 "Dread one, a report form Naboo" Omini said The villip took on the frantic face of Slegna Carr. "What has happened Commander" Shimrra asked. "A team of jedi have landed. We captured them. But we were betrayed." Slegna said. "By whom?" Shimrra asked. Slegna held the head of Nom Anor to the villip. "What did he do?" Shimrra asked. "He freed the human jedi and they tried to escape." Slegna stated. "And he was stopped." Shimrra said. "Yes by a jedi. He killed all the warriors and escaped with the human jedi. We still have the wookie jedi." Slegna said. "I will send a ship to transfer the wookie to Coruscant immediately" Shimrra said. He cut the communication abrupty. "Omini get me the infidel senator. Tell him Phase 2 will commence very soon." ***************************** The Temple attack was in the clean up stage now. All the ships had been destroyed thanks to the Empire and the Hapan ships. Th YVH droids killed all the soldiers and we're now reparing the damage done during the battle. Finally allowed to leave Luke Anakin, Leia and Obi-Wan headed to their speeders. Han and Padme already went home and Jaina joined them as did Mara. Anakin rode with Obi-Wan. "I should warn you about her cooking" Anakin started to say. Obi-Wan laughed at the remark. "It can't be any worse than Master Yoda's stew." "Wanna bet" Anakin responded. "Not really. What is she attempting to make?" "Well we were gonna have a Peace Brigade stew." Anakin said. Obi-Wan looked at him shocked "Your serious?" "She sounded serious enough. Anyway I said you were a vegetarian." "I see" Obi-Wan said He pulled up to their apartment. "Force help us" Obi-Wan said. Anakin laughed. Padme came out and ran over and kissed him. "Hello Obi-Wan. I'm glad you could make it for dinner. The others are already here. What took you two so long?" Padme said "Obi-Wan drives like Master Yoda" Anakin remarked. "Two bad puns I have heard from you today Jedi Skywalker" Yoda said. Anakin and Obi-Wan tuned pale. "Oh I invited Master Yoda over. He made us some stew. Come on" "This is not what I wanted for my last meal" Obi-Wan remarked once Yoda and Padme went inside. "I HEARD THAT!" Yoda and Padme said. Obi-Wan and Anakin groaned. "I wish we had a pet" Anakin said. "I don't think any living being would eat their cooking" Obi-Wan remarked. A wooden spoon went flying at Obi-Wan's head. Yoda appeared his hand on his saber hilt. "Dinner time. Eat my stew you will or force it down your throats I will." Yoda said. Anakin and Obi-Wan groaned again. This time Mara, Luke,Leia,Han,Jaina and Mace joined in. *************************** Zekk awoke with a jolt of pain. He looked around. He wasn't in the vong base anymore.But he wasn't at the jedi base either. His short was off and his side was bandaged. He lay in a bed and had a light cover over him. "Good your awake. How are you feeling?" "Lousy" Zekk replied. It was then that Zekk recognised the voice. "Tholme?" "Yes?" "What happened?Where am I? Where's The Dark Woman?" "After we learned you were captured, I sent her to get help. It has been a week since you were captured. I couldn't wait any longer for her. I infiltrated the base, got you and got out." "Lowie' Zekk said. "I couldn't get to him. Too many Yuuhzan Vong where arriving and you were dieing" Tholme said. "Where are we?" "Otah Gunga. The under water city of Naboo. The Yuuhzan Vong have not found it yet. I killed the only one who did. Nom Anor." Zekk gritted his teeth. Thome noticed this and changed the subject. "Are you hungry. Can I get you something?" "No thank you" Zekk started to move and immediately wished he hadn't. "Lie down. There is no where to go. You need your rest." "But Lowie." "I will take care of that." Tholme's comlink beeped. "Yes?" "Tholme, its me. I got help and we're headed down to get Zekk and Lowie. Where can I meet you?" "Otah Gunga. And one more thing" "Yes?" "Bring some bacta Zekk needs it. Then we will attempt our rescue of Lowbacca." "Zekk is here? but how? You rescued him?" "Yes" "We'll be there in ten minutes. See you then. ******************************** Obi-Wan pounded on the door of the fresher. "Hurry up!" Anakin's vomitting could be heard. The door opened and Obi-Wan rushed in just making it to the fresher. Anaki n walked out. Outside the others were lined up by the refresher clutching their stomachs. Padme and Yoda were in the dining room. "A little dramatic. I seenothing wrong with this meal. Its delicious. Luke's vomitting could be heard. "Mommy my tummy hurts from dinner." Ben said. "I know dear. Luke let us in before.." Yoda's stew and Padme's dinner landed on the rug. "Before he gets sick" Mara said. Padme walked over to Ben. "Gwamma your yucky dinner made my tummy hurt!" "I'm sorry Ben. I'll just order out next time. Or we'll go out to dinner." Padme sighed. She went into her kitchen and grabbed a cookbook titled Senator Martha Stewart's cookbook "I guess Senators should stick to politics and not cook." She threw the book away. Mace's vomiting could be heard along with "Yoda you nerfherding sithspit. I'll get you for this!" foloed by more vomitting Yoda chuckled.

	Chapter 19 "Burn in hell!" Mace said as he threw Yoda's cookbook into the bonfire outside the Temple. Also thrown in were all the ingredients and the location of all the igredients, Yoda's wood spoon and all his other cookware. Yoda for once in his life was crying. It was a solemn funeral where all those who had eaten the stew at one time attended. ********************************* The Dark Woman, Alema,Bultar,Stass,Zao and Tra'saa arrived in the underwater city and were greeted by Tholme. The jedi hurried inside to discuss their plans. Tholme ran up to Zekk's room and applied a bacta patch on the sleeping jedi's wound. "How is he?" The Dark Woman asked. "He's very beat up. He needs a bacta tank. Someone has to bring him back to Coruscant. I fear he may not survive mush longer." Alema immediately stood up. "I will take Zekk back as soon as possible." "Now would be best" Tholme said. Tholme and Alema went up to Zekk's room. Tholme put Zekk in a deep healing trance. He then swam up with Zekk to the ship. Alema followed with some medical equiptment. "I left enough for Lowbacca since we don't know how he is faring." Alema said to Tholme. Tholme placed Zekk's body in a bunk. "Drive fast and May the Force be with you" Tholme exited the ship and as soon as he exited the ship took off. ***************************** Pwoe was still at his apartment crying when his private villip took the shape of Omini "The Supreme Shimrra wishes to tell you phase 2 will commence very soon." Pwoe stopped crying and smiled. "Excellent" Pwoe said. ************************** Anakin , Obi-Wan, Ashared and Bant stood before the council. Mace was smiling and Yoda looked like he was ready to jump from his chair and strangle Mace. "Master Kenobi because we were delayed yesterday, we never heard your report. However the mission is over and we have more pressing matters to attend to. If you could give us a very brief summarry for now it would be most appreciated." Mace said. "As you wish Masters. We arrived at the Remant and were greeted by a moron moff who called Anakin Lord Vader and Baron Soontir Fel who informed us Admiral Pelleon was delayed. After an hour the Admiral met us and we explained our mission answer questions and get the Empire to join the war. The Admiral had no questions and explained the moffs would not be swayed. He suggested Anakin persuade the moffs to which we declined the request and instead had Senator Amidala persuade the Moffs. After that we left." Obi-Wan said. The council was silent as they contemplated Obi-Wan's report. "Thank you Master Kenobi. You are all dismissed" Plo Koon said. After the four jedi left the council spoke. "Dangerous and disturbing this attack was." Yoda said. "We must investigate how the Peace Brigade even made it to Mon Calamari" Luke said. "More importantly how do we prevent another attack" Kenth Hammer said. Only elven members were presnt. Tresina Lobi was still in the Med Center recovering from the attack. "We learned many things about the order yesterday. One was that the Jedi squadron was an excellent decision" Aayla said. "The other was that the children were too vunerable to an attack" Leia said. "The protection of the children should be our top priority" Shaak Ti said. "Along with the protection of the healers and the sick" Kam Solusar added. "But how do we fix this?" Mara asked. An underground base for the children and the sick would be our best option" Kit Fisto said. "Agreed" Yoda said. "One other item Master"Luke said. "We hav yet to address this very important matter." Luke stated. "Which is?" Ki-Adi Mundi asked. "Should a jedi be allowed to love?" Mara said. "Exactly" Luke said. The council was silent. Yoda and Mace were in deep thought. "Allow marriage we should" Yoda said. Mace looked shocked as did some other councilors including Luke. "Why?" Mace asked "Because times have changed Master Windu" Plo Koon stated "This is a very serious matter. I believe we should ajourn and meditate on this issue before reaching a desicion" Ki-Adi said. "Agreed" Mace said. ************************************** "Jedi Vergere. It has been a long time" Sekot said. "Yes it has" Vergere replied. "I though you left with the unknown invaders. Please tell me what has happened. Vergere told Sekot about her capture for fifty years Jacen and Tahiri talked about the invasion and Siri and Barriss explained the reappearance of the jedi. When they had finished Sekot was silent the he spoke. " Two jedi arrived a few years after you" "Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi" Vergere said. "Yes that is right. The younger one protected us from another attack, but we had to leave and we did. Tell me Vergere Why have you come?" Sekot said "We believe there is something about this planet that may be able to end the threat of the Yuuhzan Vong." Vergere explained. "You are free to investigate though I do not know if you will find anything. In the meantime, you must be tired. I will have my servant take you to your rooms to rest" Sekot stated. "Thank you and good night." Vergere replied. "Good Luck my friend and May the Force be with you" Sekot said ********************************************* Admiral Pelleon stood before the High council. With the return of the old order, modifications to the council were made. In place of Kyp Durron Yoda sa, in place of Tresina Lobi, Aayla sat and in place of Saba Sebaynte sat Plo Koon. Also instead of Trieback, Padme represnted the senate. and Wedge represented the military. "I'd like to thank you for coming Admiral" Cal said. "Of course Chief Omas." Pelleon replied. "We are very grateful for your help defeating the Peace Brigade attack" Padme said. "I don't believe you needed us. Between yourself and the Hapans the Peace Brigade was toast." he turned grim."I should warn you some Moffs are very angry about are joining the war" "Tell them my office door is always open" Padme said. "Is that a promise or a threat?" Pelleon asked. "Both" Padme replied. "Now to business" Wedge said. "We are preparing to attack Coruscant." Wedge said ************************************* Chapter 20 "You are planning to attack Coruscant?" Admiral Pelleon asked "Yes. With the New Repiublic , Imperial,Hapan and Chiss ships; we should have more than enough fire power to take out Coruscant. "We will destroy it?" Padme asked in disbelief. "That planet is not Coruscant anymore." Wedge said. "He's right, I've seen it" Luke said. "We will destroy the plant as a last resort. The Yuuhzan Vong must be stopped. With Shimrra destoyed along with half the fleet, the vong will be crippled. Its a risk we have to take!"Cal said. "The Council is ajourned" Cal said. ************************************* Mace woke up, got out of bed and headed to the fresher "Yoda!" Mace screamed as he looked in the mirror. Yoda chuckled to himself until he looked in the mirror "Mace!" ************************************ And now your highness, we will discuss the location of the Rebel Base "NOOO!!!"Leia screamed. She woke up with a cold sweat afraid. *************************** "RRROOOOOAAAAR!!!!" Lowbacca screamed. For the twentieh time today Yuuhzan Vong warriors tried to stop the wookie as he flung shapers and warriors across the room, killing some. "RESTRAIN HIM!!!" Slegna screamed. The warriors ran to the wookie trying to stop him . WHOOSH Their bodies flew across the room. Slegna ducked as one zoomed past his ear. The he was in the air and flying and in pain and then all Slegna saw was blackness. Lowbacca grabbed a warrior in one arm and an amphistaff in another and charged out of the room. ********************************** Luke skywalker looked at Plo Koon for the third time today. The council was fully assembeled. Tresina was back, with a bacta patch on her forehead. "Where are they?" Mara asked. Mace Windu and Yoda had not shown uo yet. For a third time Luke got his comm out. "Masters Yoda and Windu report to the council chamber immediately!" Another minute went by. "Okay Mara, Aayla, Plo, Corran and Saesee. Follow me" Luke said. The six jedi walked out of the chamber and into the bedchambers. They heard shouting and rushed in just in time and fell to the ground clutching their stomachs. Mace stood their his face white, a red wig on his head and a red nose. Mace was not a happy clown. Yoda 's skin was pink, his hair dyed a hot pink and gelled into a mohawk, and to top it all of Yoda's robes were shades of pink. "Die troll" Mace ignited his purple saber. Yoda drew his hilt and ignited it and a pink blade shot out. Luke and the others roared. Yoda extremely angry now charged, his battlecry heard throughout the Temple. ************************* Cilghal waited with the rest of the council. Her comlink buzzed. "Cilghal" "Master i have a critically ill patient who requires immediant assistance. I'm entering the planet now. Alema out" Cilghal dialed her comlink "Tekli get a team of healers and meet me at the docking bay with bacta and a gurny" "Yes Master." Tekli replied. "Quinlan. Your a healer. I need you" Quinlan and Cilghal left. ************************** Jacen awoke and looked at his chrono. It was still pretty early out. He looked over in the other rooms. Barriss , Tahiri and Siri were still asleep. Jacen walked into the living room. Vergere sat on the floor meditating. "Good morning young jedi" Vergere said. "Morning Vergere" Jacen said. He sat on the floor and started to meditate. He felt a surge in the force. "We found it" Vergere said. In the other room Jacen knew the others had heard it. "Get changed. We're going to find it" Vergere said ************************************ "Masters Please" Luke said. "What is it?"Obi-Wan walked into the room and laughed histerically. "I'll call Padme if you two don't stop"Obi-Wan threatened. Mace and Yoda both stopped and hooked the sabers on their belts. "Now cupid and Bozo we have a council meeting"Aayla said. The jedi walked back towards the Temple. ***************************************** Alema landed the ship and the healers rushed on board taking Zekk's body and rushing up to the Med Center. "Blast he's in a coma!" Cilghal shouted. "He can't dip him until he's out of it." Tekli said. Quinlan Vos placed his hands on Zekk's temples and focused trying to wake Zekk up. Twenty minutes later Zekk opened his eyes. Immediately he was fit with a breather and dunked in the bacta tank. ************************************ Chapter 21 Zekk awoke and found himself in a bed at the Jedi Temple Med Center. "Feeling better?" Luke asked. "Master Skywalker. What happened. I was at Naboo and then I was in a bacta tank." Zekk said "You almost lost your spleen and liver. You were dying. Tholme had Alema take you here immediately. You fell into a coma, and almost didn't make it." Luke replied. "I see. What about Tholme and Lowie?" Zekk asked "Unknown" Luke replied. "I should report to the council on our finds." Zekk said. "Later. Right now get your rest." Luke said. "As you wish Master."Zekk replied. Luke stood up and walked out to the hall. "How feel he?" Yoda asked. Yoda had his skin green and his regular robes. His hair was still a pink mohawk and Yoda was not at all happy about it. "He is feeling better Master." Luke said. "The council will need to speak with him as soon as possible" Mace said. His face was not white and his wig was gone. But he still had his red nose glued on. "Its not easy to take you two seriously. Dressed like that." Luke said. "A meeting we must attend" Yoda said. Due to Mace and Yoda's battle , and Cilghal and Quinlan leaving, the council rescheduled the meeting. The three jedi walked to the council chamber. ********************************** "Faster come on come on" Vergere said. "Tahiri , Siri and Barriss struggled to keep up with Vergere and Jacen as they raced to the force pressence. Suddenly They stopped. "It is around here somewhere" Jacen said stretching out with the force. "I don't remember this area on the planet. It looks so dead not like the alive nature the rest of the planet has." Vergere said. "Come on" Jacen said. The five jedi walked deeper into the mysterious forest of Zonoma Sekot. "Look over there on the ground!" Tahri said. Jacen and Vergere looked down and gasped. "Vergere when the Yuuhzan Vong invaded Zonama Sekot did they ever land?" "No Sekot made sure of it. Besides... These look older than any amphistaff the had." The amphistaff was very different then the present day amphistaffs. The head was huge and it was lined with spikes and other crude growths. "How did it die?" Siri asked. "It looks like it couldn't surrive with all these growths and the weight of the head." Tahiri said. "What does this mean?" Barriss asked. "That Zonama Sekot holds the key to stopping the Yuuhzan Vong" Vergere said. "Come on lets go further." Tahiri said. Siri , Barriss and Tahiri moved ahead. Jacen moved to look at the amphistaff Vergere held. "This is not the pressence we have felt"Vergere said. "Then what we are looking for must be biiger then this." Jacen said. The two jedi ran to catch up with their companions. ************************************* "Where has Senator Pwoe been lately?" Anakin asked. "I have no idea. After the Peace Brigade attacked, he and Fyor Rodan just disappeared. "You don't think the peace brigade kill..." "I wish!" Padme said. "More likely they were behind the attack." The doorbell rang. "Why Obi-Wan your just in time for lunch."Padme said"Don't worry I sent Ani to pick it up at the restaurant" Obi-Wan gave a sigh of relief. "Never eat any of Senator Stewart's cooking" Padme said. "Well I came by to ask if you'd help me watch Ben today. His parents have a few meetings to go to." Obi-Wan said "Of course we will!" Padme said. "Good I'll call Mara and tell her." Obi-Wan said. "Now about lunch..." "Have a seat in the dining room" *********************** "Contain that wookie" Slegna screamed. Lowbacca called his lightsaber to him and decapitated Slegna. "Looks like he didn't need our help" Zao said. "Indeed" Tholme said. A platoon of warriors rushed at Lobacca. Tholme, Zao, T'ra Saa and the others joined Lowbacca and made quick work of the Vong. "[What about Zekk]" Lowbacca asked. "He's escaped. He's at the Temple. Let's go" Zao said. The jedi ran out of the complex and onto their ship" ************************** "Dread one. News from Naboo" Omini said. The villip took on the frantic look of a Yuuhzan Vong shaper. "Where is Slegna Carr?" Shimrra asked. "Dead. The wookie jedi and other jedi. killed the warriors. Only the shapers remain" Shimrra sighed. "Break off the attack on Naboo and return to Coruscant." ***************************** "Now to the discussion we left off at" Luke said. "Should jedi be allowed to marry?" Plo said. "I believe we should vote." Aayla said. Yoda, Luke,Mara,Aayla,Quinlan,Corran,Kam, Cilghal, Kyp,Shaak,Luminara,Kit,Plo,Saba, Saesee,Kenth,Kirana,Streen,Leia and Tresina voted Yes Adi,Mace, Ki-Adi and Eeth voted No. "The motion passes"Mace sighed. ************************* Chapter 22 Cal and Wedge looked over the balcony with Lando as thousands of Yuuhzan Vong Hunter droids marched onto outgoing ships to Coruscant. "They will handle our ground support." Lando was saying. But Cal wasn't listening he was watching as the ships flew out of the planet and probably to their final destination. ************************************* "Zekk. Stay and rest" Jaina said. "But they need a report." Zekk said. Mace walked into the room, his red nose gone. "The council must see you immediately. He turned and left. Jaina turned around and scolded him. Jaina helped Zekk out of bed and into a hoverchair. The two then proceded to the council chamber. ********************************* "We're near" Jacen said. "But what is it?" Siri asked. "This" Vergere said. The other jedi walked over to see what Vergere was looking at. "Emperor's black bones" Jacen cursed. In a clearing was a building with all sorts of growths around it. "We've found it" Jacen confirmed. The four jedi headed into the mysterious building, which could unlock the secret of the Yuuhzan Vong. ******************************** "Jedi Zekk" Luke said."Please describe your expeditions with Lowbacca and your capture for the council" "Yes Master. Lowbacca and I went out for three days exploring different parts of Naboo. The forests are burned down so nothing exists. The countryside is in ruins as is the capital Theed. The only habitable discovery made was by Master Tholme. He dicovered the city of Otah Gunga is repairable and some parts of the city are still habitable. Upon that inspection of Otah Gunga, Tholme discovered a Yuuhzan Vong warrior lived there. He even learned the warrior's identity. While Tholme and The Dark Woman were out investigating Otah Gunga, Lowie and I investigated the ruins of Theed. We were ambushed by a Yuuhzan Vong named Timsh Hul and a squad of warriors. We were captured and tortured. As soon as Lowie awakened he was moved to another cell. It was then that Timsh Hul approached me and asked for my help. I repeatedly refused and I was punished. When I asked about Lowbacca and the others he told me they were dead. I finally relented and Timsh and I tried to escape. I was deflecting Thud bugs while Timsh battled warriors when I was stabbed through the side. "Zekk showed the council his scar. "I fell to the ground unable to fight. I called out for Timsh's help and he laughed and then ran. a thud bug hit his face. He wore an ooglith cloaker. He was really Nom Anor." Mara, Leia and the new jedi order half of the council gasped. "I passed out after that and when I awoke Tholme was there and I was in Otah Gunga. He told me that Nom Anor discovered Otah Gunga and he was killed. He told me I almost died and informed me Lowie was still a captive. He then put me in a healing trance. When I awoke, I was in a bacta tank." Zekk said. "Thank you Jedi Zekk" Plo Koon said. "You may return and rest now" Aayla said. ************************************** Vergere turned to the others. "Jacen and I will enter first. You three stay here" "As you wish Vergere." Barriss said. Jacen and Vergere walked into the building. The lights were destroyed so Jacen took out his glow rod. "Weird. Looks like a lab." Jacen said. "Test tube viles were smashed. tables were overturned and computers were smashed. "Over here" Vergere said. She found a computer covered under rubble but still functional. Jacen activated it. A young female scientist appeared. " As per your request Senator,we began working on super soldiers who were immune to the force. We will now began the experiment." A human male was dragged in by two scientists and strapped to a table. "We will begin by wiping his memory and reeducating him. After that he will be injected with saliva from the Ysalmari creatures who block the force with bubbles." They watched as they human was drugged and he was injected with the saliva. "Now as per your other request Senator, we also made the array of weapons and vechicles that can be grown. Though we have been experiencing difficulties in perfecting the weapon. Our latest model looks like a serpant and transforms into a solid staff. The capital ships and fighters are completed and will interact well with the pilot. We also will test this on a female now." Jacen and Vergere watched as the same scientists dragged in a female human and did the same to her as they did to the male. "As you can see e have made significant advances in our research and will be able to fill your request of a million troops for the Republic's army. Thank you Senator for your generous donations and we will send more tapes on our results." The tape fizzed out and showed the image of a torn up lab and the same female scientist looking distraught and fearful "Senator. The soldiers have revolted they can't be re educated the believe in these gods and started harming themselves. I believe it is the result of the combination of yslamari saliva and glyterill which we used for wiping their memory. It seems to cause the subjects to become insae. They hate technology and are destroying the lab. Many scientists have died. We barracted the door shut. I have made an antidote to cure the disease. Enclosed are the components." The door flew open and scientists went flying. The sibject of the experiment walked in wearing living armor and using the weaponry developed. Jacen watched as the scientists were killed and the tape ended. The screen suddenly showed the components for the vaccine. "We have to get this back to the New Republic."Jacen said. "The Yuuhzan Vong are test subjects gone bad." Vergere said. ****************************************** And now your highness, we will discuss the location of the Rebel Base "Not again" Leia screamed. ************************ Chapter 23 "Phase 2 is landing as we speak" Omini reported to Pwoe "Excellent. Send The Supreme Dread One Shimrra our thanks" Pwoe said. "Well it looks like we get another show today. Maybe it will be better then last times" Fyor said. ************************************ Jacen and Vergere ran out of the complex. "What's going on?" Barriss asked. "We have to get back to council" Vergere said. Sekot we are leaving. I will return later. Something big has occured and we mustnotify the other jedi. Good luck my friend. I await your return Thank you my friend Vergere closed the link. The ship came into view. The jedi dashed up the ramp. The ramp wasn't even closed before the ship took off. ************************************ "Master Skywalker" Tholme said into his comm. "Yes. Its Thome. We are coming in" "Is Lowbacca okay?" Luke asked. "A few cuts and bruises. But he should be fine" Tholme replied. "I'll meet you at the landing platform." ********************************* The doorbell rang. "Ani Obi-Wan Ben's here" "Why hello Mara" Padme said. "Here take him" Mara said "May the Force be with you. You'll need it" Mara said Mara hopped in her speeder and took off. "Ben did you have lunch?" Padme asked "No" Ben said. "What would you like?" Padme asked "A sandwich" Ben said. "Let's go make you one" Padme said. Why was Mara so frazzled?" she wondered ************************************ Zekk emerged from the fresher with the help of a med droid .The droid helped him in his hoverchair. "How long do I have touse this?" Zekk asked. "A few more weeks Jedi Zekk" The droid said. Luke walked rushed in. "Lowie's fine. Their coming in." Luke said "Can I come greet them?" Zekk asked. Luke looked at the med droid. The droid nodded. "Get changed quick an we'll go meet them." Luke said. *********************************** Vergere and the others emerged out of hyperspace above Mon Calamari. She activated the comm. "Master Windu." "Master. Its Vergere. Get the Chief of state at the temple. Its an emergency. I'm coming down now. I'll tell youmore later." "I'll call him immediately" Mace said. Vergere dialed another number. "Skywalker res BEN PUT THAT DOWN. BEN PUT GRANDPA DOWN AND OBI-WAN!!! BEN PUT ME DOWN!!!" "Senator are you all right?" Vergere asked "Who am I speaking with?" "Master Vergere.Could you and your husband meet me at the Temple. I have important news. "Of course Master Ver BEN NO NOT MY FLOWERS!!! STAY AWAY FROM THAT!!!" The comm ended. *********************************** Zekk and Luke waited on the landing platform. Finally the great ship landed. The ramp lowered. And Lowbacca walked out, followed by The Dark Woman, Stass Allie, Tra'Saa, Zao,Bultar Swan and finally Tholme" "Greetings Master Skywalker." Tholme said. "Greetings Master Thome. Everone" Luke said. "Lowbacca report to the Med Center to get those cuts treated. Then report to the Council chamber. We need a full report on what occurred. ***************************** On another Landing platform, Masters Yoda and Windu waited with Senator Amidala,Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Chief of State Cal Omas, and Admiral Pelleon. Mace and Yoda both looked like themselves again.Yoda's hair was blonde and Mace lost his red nose. The sleek starship finally landed. Jacen and Vergere bounded down the landing ramp followed by the others. "What is so important?" Mace asked. "The origin of the Yuuhzan Vong and the key to stopping them lie on this computer's disk." Vergere said. She took out the disk and handed it to Cal. Everyone ran inside to the nearest computer terminal. ************************************* Chapter 24 Senator. The soldiers have revolted they can't be re educated the believe in these gods and started harming themselves. I believe it is the result of the combination of yslamari saliva and glyterill which we used for wiping their memory. It seems to cause the subjects to become insae. They hate technology and are destroying the lab. Many scientists have died. We barracted the door shut. I have made an antidote to cure the disease. Enclosed are the components." "My word" Pelleon said. "We must get the antidote to the scientists" Cal said "Contact the fleet we must" Yoda said. "The council must know of this" Mace said. ***************************************** Tholme, Lowbacca, Zekk and The Dark Woman stood before the Jedi Council .Behind the councilors stood Padme, Cal and Pelleon. "In conclusion Senator Amidala, If the YuuhzanVong are eracticated from Naboo, the planet would make an ideal home for refugees" Tholme said "Thank you Master Tholme" Padmè said. "Please send Vergere's group in" Plo Koon said. Vergere, Jacen, Barriss, Tahiri, and Siri entered the chamber shortly after the others. "Master Vergere, Please tell the Council of your discovery" Mace said. The council listened as Vergere told them of their discovery of the lab and the amphistaff. Jacen held up the staff as proof. When she had finished, Luke sat there disbelieving. Silence hung in the air until Mara spoke. "So about this vaccine?" "The scientists have it" Cal said. "And the attack on Coruscant?" Leia asked. "Postponed until the droids are loaded with the vaccine." Pelleon said. "And what are the effects on the Yuuhzan Vong?" Aayla asked. "Unknown" Vergere replied. "Thank you Master Vergere." Plo Koon said. Once Vergere and her team had left, Mace turned to Cal , Pelleon, and Padmè. "If you would please leave us so we may discuss this matter"Mace said. The three officials left the room. "Dangerous and disturbing this new discovery is" Yoda said. "But if this vaccine is the end to the Yuuhzan Vong" Shaak Ti said. "Then the war is over" Quinlan said. "But what if this vaccine is ineffective?"Luminara said "The republic will use a vaccine that is effective"Kenth said. "Alpha Red" Luke said. Kenth nodded. "Let us hope this vaccine works" Plo said. Just then bangs were heard against the door. The twenty-four councilors stood and ignited their sabers. ************************************ "Phase two is commencing" Pwoe said looking through his electrobinoculars. "Excellent now the Jedi are done for. ********************************** "BEN PUT MY SPEEDER DOWN!!!" Anakin said. While Padmè Obi-Wan and Anakin had met Vergere, they left Ben in the speeder with C-3P0 AND R2-D2. "Oh dear. WE ARE GOING TO DIE!!!" Threepio screamed. Padmè came out to the speeder. "BEN PUT THIS SPEEDER DOWN NOW!!!!!" Padmè said Ben immediately did as he was told. "Padmè has a way with people" Obi-Wan remarked. "Let's go already" Padme said "Yes dear" Anakin said. They left the Temple behind and headed home. ************************************ The doors to the Council Chamber fell to the ground. Dozens of Yuuhzan Vong warriors stood in the doorway. "Prepare to die Jeedai" The commander said. Yoda and the rest of the council leapt into action to fight the warriors. ************************************ Chapter 25 "AHHH" Yoda cried. He leapt at the nearest warrior parrying an amphistaffand using the force to lift it out of the warriors grasp. The warrior reached for thud bugs but yoda's saber took of his hand and then his head. "One down only 49 left Master Yoda" Mace said. Mace's violet blade plunged through a warrior's chest. He took it out and hurled it at another warrior cutting the warrior in two. Plo Koon's blue blade twirled as he deflected thud bugs. He somersaulted over a warrior and cut his legs out from under him. The warrior snarled a he ell to the ground. Luke and Mara worked back to back attacking the warriors. "How did they get in?" Luke said. "We can't feel them through the force cause of the buddle remember?" Mara said. "Yes but the security cams should have caught them." Luke replied "Someone deactivated the cameras" Mar exclaimed. "Exactly" Luke said. He parried another thrust by yhe warrior's amphistaff. Luke kicked the warrior in the stomach and stabbed his emerald blade through the warriors stomach. Quinlan and Aayla worked side by side in perfect unison. The old Master and Padawan team deflected thud bugs and took out four warriors. Leia's scarlet blade drove into a warrior's skull. "Leia I need your help!" Cilghal called. The Mon Calamari was backed into a corner of the chamber taking on five warriors.Two green blades,two blue and a purple cut through the warriors. Saesee Tiin, Kit Fisto, Kyp, Ki-Adi, and Shaak Ti called their blades back. Ki-Adi Mundi wasn't quick enough and a thud bug hit him in the chest. A warrior took advantage of this and stabbed his side. Ki-Adi gasped. Luminara and Corran's blades killed the warrior. Cilghal made her way over and tried to heal him. Ki-Adi gasped and died. The Jedi all felt his death. Adi Gallia, Saba, Kam and Streen fought off another group of warriors. The other councilors had moved Ki-Adi's body away from the battle and continued to attack the warriors. Kirana, Eeth and Tresina killed three more warriors. Yoda rushed at two warriors and decapitated them in an instant. Finally the jedi could breathe. Fifty-one corpes were scattered on the floor. Yoda's ears drooped. and the other jedi bowed their heads. Luke got out his comm "Cal get over here now! The Yuuhzan Vong broke in." "I'm sending troops now." Cal said. "No need their all dead."Luke said. "Except one" Plo said. Cal seemed to understand. "I'll send Danni Quee with the vaccine"Cal said. ********************************* Obi-Wan, Anakin and Ben cried out in pain. "What is wrong?" Padme asked. Obi-Wan and Anakin ran out the door and took off toward the temple. ****************************** Danni , Yoda, Luke and Cilghal stood in the Med ward. The jedi had tied the warrior Plo Koon had wounded so he wouldn't commit suicide. "Alright. Let's get this over with" Danni said. She walked over to the warrior and jabbed a syringe into his arm. The warrior shouted things and slowly he turned human-like and died. Danni and the others stood their stunned. "It worked" Luke said. ************************** Ki-Adi Mundi's body lay on a funeral pyre. Mace walked over and lit the body. The Jedi bpwed their heads and watched as the body burned. ************************* The next day, The council met in the chamber. The bodies were gone but the doors weren't fixed yet. "We need to find out who was behind the attack." Luke said. "Who knows the codes to our security cams?" Aayla asked. "Pwoe and Rodan" Padmè said as she walked in the chamber. "How can you be sure?" Mace asked "Because I saw them outside the Temple yesterday, as we left. I saw them go to a side of the Temple and they disappeared."Padmè said. The council gasped. Mace got his com out "Chief Omas" "Yes" Cal replied. "We need an arrest warrant for Senators Pwoe and Rodan. We believe they were behind yesterday's attack and possibly the Peace Brigade attack." "I'll get on it immediately" Cal said. "Another matter to discuss we have indicating the empty chair." "Who should we appoint?" Luke asked "Someone from the Old Order." Kyp said. "I nominate Obi-Wan" Plo Koon said. The council nodded their heads in agreement. "Obi-Wan Kenobi would make an excellent choice" Mace agreed "Agreed." Yoda said. "I'll contact Obi-Wan immediately" Luke said ********************************** Chapter 26 Lando Calrissian and Talon Karrde finished loading the Yuuhzan Vong vaccine into the last shipment of YVH droids. "Its done Chief Omas " Talon said "Excellent" Cal said. "I must contact the fleet" Cal shut off the communication. He turned to his secreatary. "Get me Admiral Ackbar, General Iblis, General Antilles, and Admiral Kre'fey." "Yes sir" In an instant the four military leaders appeared on a large screen inside the Chief of State's office. "I have spoken with Dr.Quee and her team. She reported the same findings for the vechicles as she did for the warrior. "My crew has almost finished loading the vaccine in the ship's weapon system." Ackbar reported. "My fleet his prepared and ready to jump to Coruscant as soon as your ready." Bel Iblis said. "The squadrons report that they are ready. The Errant Venture is fifty percent complete in the installation of the vaccine. They should be finished by tomorrow. We are sending our technicians over to help them" Wedge said. "My fleet is ready as is the Bothan fleet. Say the word and we'll anihalate them!" Traest said. "Thank you everyone. We will attack as soon as all the fleet's are ready. I must speak with the Hapans and The Remnant" Cal said. He cut the comm. As if reading his mind the secretary had Pelleon and Soontir Fel on the line. "Admiral how soon until the Remnant is finished making the necessary preparations?" "We are finished and making our way to the redevous point before preparing to launch" Pelleon reported. "And Baron Fel. How are the Chiss faring?" "The Vaccine is loaded and we are preparing to jump to the redevous point." Fel said "Excellent. I will contact you all again" Cal said. He cut the communication. "Get me the Queen Mother of Hapes" Cal told his secretary. Tenel Ka's image appeared on screen. "Chief Omas" Tenel said "Queen Mother" Cal said. "We have finished installing the vaccine into our weapons and we are at the redevous point" Tenel Ka stated. "Thank you. I must go now" Cal said. **************************** Mace Windu, Luke, Leia and Yoda once again stood with Padmè and Cal in the Senate chamber. "Senators Pwoe and Rodan" Cal said. "You are accused of treason and murder" Boos and curses rang out from the Senate at the two Senators. "This was found in your quarters Senator" Cal pointed to the villip. "Along with phone records indicating you made contact with the Peace Brigade. "You are charged with the death of Jedi Councilor Ki-Adi-Mundi, disturbing the peace, attempted murder of the jedi order, and collaborating with the Yuuhzan Vong" Cal said A datapad hit Pwoe in the head. "I will ask that the Senate give the jedi the chance to throw things at the Senators. Tresina Lobi came in holding two large stones. She threw one at each of the Senators. Yoda used the force to unhook the Senators' belts. The Senate erupted with laughter. Padme and Leia threw shoes from their collection at the Senators. One of Padme's shoes hit Rodan below the belt area. Padmè took out her blaster and shot at the floor near the Senators feet. "Dance!" The Senators did. "Enough" Cal said. "Senators Pwoe and Rodan I sentence you to death or" "Or" Pwoe asked. "Pwoe would be Senator Amidala's slave and Rodan would be Master Yoda's" "This is a joke" Rodan said. "Your a joke" Padmè said "I'll die before I serve that wench" Pwoe said. "I can arrange that" Padmè said "Ani dear" Padmè said. "Nevermind" Pwoe said. "Either way I sentence you to death. Guards!' Cal said. *************************** Obi-Wan sat in Luke's office. Luke walked in. "Sorry to keep you waiting. I was at the Senate chamber." "I see. What did you need to talk to me about?" Obi-Wan asked. "As you know Ki-Adi Mundi died in the attack yesterday. This morning the council met to discuss which jedi should fill his seat. We agreed that you would be the best choice to fill his seat." Obi-Wan was stunned. "Thank you." "We will be meeting tonight I'll call you when it is time." ******************* "Cal are you sure its wise not telling the Senate about the attack or the vaccine?"Padmè asked. "I believe it is best the Senate not know." Cal said. "Indeed. If know the Senators do, sell the information to the Holonet they will." Yoda said. "And then it will be broadcasted everywhere"Aayla said. "And the Yuuhzan Vong will know and prepare" Luke said. "When will we attack?" Plo Koon asked. "We are planning to attack in two days" Cal said. "This High council meeting is ajourned" Cal said. ************************* And now your highness we will discuss the location of the Rebel base" "I have to talk with my father about this"Leia said. Just then her comm buzzed. "Leia sorry to interupt your nap. But the council will meet in an hour" Luke said. ******************************* Shimrra watched as the two senators were charged with treason. Shimrra was furious. Two failed attacks. Agents discovered on Naboo. The jedi escaped and the Yuuhzan Vong base destroyed. Shimrra was disgusted. The only good thing was the death of Nom Anor. What else could go wrong?" He wondered. ****************************** Chapter 27 The full Jedi Council sat. It was a very solemn meeting. "As you know, the Chief of State is giving the order for the ships to launch in a half hour." Mace said. "The Jedi squadrons reported to us. They are armed and ready" Aayla said. "I thought the launch was two days away still?" Quinlan asked. "The ships finished loading early and they are all at the redevous point." Luke said. "As I understand it, the high council voted to launch the ships as soon as possible. The reason was that the longer we took the better the chance the Yuuhzan Vong would know." Obi-Wan said. "Welcome Obi-Wan" Yoda said. The other councilors issued welcomes to Obi-Wan. "Thank-you everyone. Now is this true?" Obi-Wan said Plo Koon nodded solemly. "Cal was just about to ajourne our meeting when his comm buzzed. The report was that all ships were armed and made it to the redevous point. He asked for us to vote. We did." "I see" Obi-Wan said. "May the force be with us" Yoda said. Luke pressed a hidden button on his chair and a screen emerged on the side of the wall. The screen was split to display Cal, Bel Ibis, and the four Jedi squad leaders. Mace pressed a button on his chair and another wall slid up to reaveal a screen. This screen was split to show Wedge, Ackbar, Pelleon, Kre'fey, Tenel Ka and Fel. Cal spoke"Masters, Admiral, Generals, Queen Mother. We are ready for launch. "Acknowledged" they all said. Traest let out a battle cry and gave the order to jump. the others gave the order. The last War against the Yuuhzan Vong began. The result was anyone's guess. ************************* Shimrra and Omini walked into Nen Yim's lab. "Shaper. Are you finished with the eighth cortex?" "No Dread One. We need more time to.." Shimrra cut her off. "I GROW TIRED OF THIS! YOU HAVE HAD ENOUGH TIME!!! I DEMAND RESULTS!!!" One of Shimrra's shoulder villips emerged."Dread one!" "WHAT IS IT!!!" Shimrra boomed. "The infidels. They have amassed a huge army. They are attacking!" Shimrra's eyes widened. He turned to Omini. "Get me on a command ship now!" "Yes Warmaster" Omini said. The shamed one took off at a huge run. Shimrra turned to Nen Yim. "You are out of time!" He took out his amphistaff and decapitated the shaper. ****************** Leia left the council chamber. and headed to her parents house. She had to talk to her father. She pulled up and rang the doorbell. Padmè answered. "Leia why aren't you at the council meeting?" "I was. The ships have lauched. I need to speak with father about something." Leia said. "Of course. He's in his study meditating. I have to go to the Senate now." Padme said. She walked out to her new speeder and headed to the Senate. Leia walked in and found Anakin deep in meditation. His eyes snapped open as he heard Leia approach. He smiled. "What can I do for you dear?" he asked "I need to speak with you."Leia replied. He stood up and indicated a chair for her. He sat in a chair behind his desk. "Now what did you need to talk about?" "I keep having the same dream. It started the day we found you." Leia said. "I see. What was the dream?" he asked. "It was of you and me and the interrigation on the Death Star. All that happens is you say And now your highness..." Anakin waved a hand indicating for her to stop. He knew that day well. "Why have you waited so long to tell me. Its been almost six months." "I truly don't know." She replied. "Then why have you come here now?" He asked. "I think the Force guided me to tell you." Leia replied. Anakin was silent for a moment. "Leia I am truly sorry for what occurred that day." Anakin said. "I know you are father." Leia siad. "Maybe part of you does, but the other part of you needed to hear it to believe it"He said. "Perhaps" Leia said. Her comlink beeped. "I have to get back. We'll talk again later?" Leia asked. "Of course" Anakin replied. ******************** Chapter 28 Jag Fel and the Twin Suns squadron headed out to attack the skips. "Remember. we shoot the vaccine after the dovin basals are busy." Jag said. "Twins your job is to clear the way so the Mon Mothma can unleash YVH droids" Wedge said. "Acknowledged" Jag said. Meanwhile the four jedi squadrons worked as one using the force meld. Jaina was in charge of all the squadrons since Aayla, Adi and Kyp were busy on the Council. Bant Eerin, Lowbacca and A'shared Hett Were in charge of the other squadrons. "Time to see if my vaccine works" Vergere said over the comm. She fired a few shots at the dovin basal and then shot the vaccine at the ship. Alomost immediately the ship stopped firing and exploded from inside. The comm was filled with a few cheers. "Jedis we got more where that came from" Jaina said. ****************************** Padmè stood before the angry and outraged Senate. Cal was issueing orders to the fleet, so he had given Padmè temporary leadership of the Senate. "Senators." "Senators" "SENATORS!" "DON'T MAKE ME GET MY HUSBAND!!!" Finally the Senate quieted down. "That's better. Now if you'll all be quiet and let me speak I will explain everything. A few outraged senators started to protest. Padmè calmly padded her blaster and comlink, which the senators assumed was tuned into Anakin's comlink. They immediatly quieted down. "Now here is what occurred. Due to the importance of this discovery and the discovery of Senaters working with the Yuuhzan Vong, The high council voted that the Senate not be alerted until the battle had begun." Padmè said. "As it is, we don't know how many other Senators have collaborated with the enemy." Padmè said She pushed a button on the Chief's dias and a large screen emerged displaying the war effort. "And now we wait." She said. ********************** The Council watched in silence as the Jedi squadron destroyed ship after ship. "A good idea reestablishing the squadron it was" Yoda said. ********************** Supreme Overlord Shimrra entered his personal command ship. As the ship took off into space, he saw what was going on. The infidels were all working together. The imperials, chiss, hapans. They were all helping the New Republic. He watched as one of the corvettes was sprayed by a ship and exploded inwardly. "Tell the fleet to break off" Shimrra boomed This was one battle he hadn't expected. The ships started to break to hyperspace but they were caught in another one of The Republic's minefields. "Dread One" Omini said. "An infidel" Shimrra took the communication "Am I speaking with the moron in charge?" The voice asked. "I am Supreme Overlord Shimrra ruler of the Yuuhzan Vong and..." "Spare me that mumbo jumbo" "NO ONE INTERRUPTS ME!" Shimrra boomed "Well Traest Kre'fey just did." the voice replied. "You will die today infidel."Shimrra said "No you will die. My planet declared we would not rest until every Yuuhzan Vong was dead. Today you die. All of you morons die!" Traest said. "Listen infidel. How dare y..." Shimrra said but Traest had already cut the communication. Shimrra pounded his fist. "Tell the fleet to win. I don't care what it takes!" Shimrra boomed *************************** Rogue Squadron vaccinated another capital ship. "Errant Venture" Gavin said "Your clear to drop the cargo." The Errant Venture dropped ten shuttles each packed with hundreds of Yuuhzan Vong hunter droids. The MonMothma also dropped ten shuttles as did The Chimerea. "Twin Leader watch you tail!" Jaina said. Jag rolled hard to port to avoid being annihalated. One of the Hapan squadrons took out the ships that had attacked Jag. "Song of War. Drop your cargo" Jag said. ***************************** Chapter 29 The Yuuhzan Vong Hunter droids landed on the planet and immediately were greeted by the entire Yuuhzan Vong society. "Abominations!" The warriors yelled. The warriors charged , amphistaffs spitting venom. The YVH droids simply shot the vong with the vaccine. Before one warrior could make it to the droids they were dead. The droids continued their assault. In less than in hour no living thing exhisted on Coruscant, except for the world brain. The droids marched up to the world brain and destroyed it. ***************************** "Supreme One. Another infidel." Omini said. "I'm growing sick of these infidels." Shimrra reported. After Admiral Kre'Fey called, General Wedge Antilles had called along with Veterans form Rogue Squadron after a few curses and ha ha's, One member had the nerve to say Yub Yub Supreme One! But the calls didn't end there. Shimrra had the privlige of speaking with Senator Amidala. Though it wasn't really a privledge. More like a shouting cointest, where the Senator one. Some of her choice words included "VONG GUTS, TO PALPATINE, NERF HERDER, SITHSPITTING PIECE OF BANTHA FODDER, and curses in languages Shimrra wasn't aware off. After having met Senator Amidala, Shimrra understood the reason the imperials were in this war. Then General Garm Bel Ibis had called and true to Correlian form, gave enough curses to start a new language. After the General called, Shimrra spoke with the Queen Mother of Hapes, who promised a painless death among other insults. After that, The Chief of State had the nerve to call and offer them a chance to surrender. Then Admiral Pelleon had called wth General Fel. Fel offered a brand new range of curses. While Pelleon insulted the yuuhzan vong and explained how the vong would be like a pimple were palpatine alive. Now Shimrra wondered who else woud call. "Which infidel wishes to insult me now?" Shimrra asked "The Solo Twins and Jedi Master Vergere." The reply came. Shimrra's blood was reaching its boiling point. "HOW DARE YOU TRAITOROUS BLASPHEMOUS JEEDAI CALL ME!!! "He boomed. "How dare you kill two of our family members, torture us try to sacrifice us, hunt the jedi down, and try to take over our galaxy." Jaina replied. "And what's so ironic Shimrra" Vergere said " Is that the Yuuhzan Vong were once human." "Your a bunch of crazy lab rat rejects" Jacen said. "Blasphemy!"Shimrra cried. "And that Stuff that destroyed every living thing on Coruscant and is destroying your fleet is a vaccine designed decades ago, by the scientists who created you" Vergere said. "We'll leave you to die now" Jaina said and they cut the comm. Omini came up "Supreme One another infidel. Shimrra growled but answered. "Speak infidel" "Respect your elders you should. 946 years old I am. Seen it all I have. Tired of invaders and Senators I am. Lost my patience I have. Pay you will for killing Master Mundi. Make you pay personally I will." Shimrra was speechless. **************************** Sick of waiting for this war to occur, The Jedi Council went to their hanger and took out their personal starfighters. The squadron's name was Yoda's Council. Luke took his group of Jedi and New Hope squadron lifted off with Yoda's council. After an hour, The two squadrons emerged to Coruscant. Yoda got on the comm and requested to speak with the Supreme Overlord. After their meeting was finished, Yoda drove his fighter over by the Supreme Overlord's personal ship. Yoda blasted his way into the ship and disembarked in search of the overlord *************************** The Millenium Falcon entered the battle. Leia was copilot. Padmè and Anakin each had their own gun turret. The Falcon shot the vaccine destroying ship after ship. The comm buzzed "This is Mace Windu all ships stay away from Shimrra's ship!" "Acknowledged " came Tenel Ka's voice. "WHAT!!!" came Traest's outraged voice. "Master Yoda is taking care of the ship personally." Mace said. ******************************** Twin Suns squadron had lost four pilots. All the Jedi squadrons were in tact, but some had taken some heavy damage. Rogue Squadron had lost only one pilot. The Chiss squadrons had suffered heavy losses as had some of the Imperial squadrons. But the losses of these squadrons was no where near as bad as the losses the Yuuhzan Vong had suffered. More fVong fleets came in. Shimrra called all the fleets back and for good reason. The first five ways of coralskippers were gone. only ten waves remained. The corvettes were all destroyed. Out of four capital ships three remained and one was taking very heavy damage from The Millenium Falcon and Lady Luck. The Errant Venture was battling it out with one of the other capital ships. The Ralroost along with the other bothan ships, were attacking as many targets as they could. Soon only one Capital ship remained;Shimrra's. ************************************ Chapter 30 Omini groaned. "Supreme One,more infidels" "I wish I had the honor of killing you and Nom Anor. I was trained to kill since I was a child. I am the best and I want to make you pay for what you did to me. You almost killed my child. If that had happened I swear I would have killed every one of you. Lucky for you it did not but you still managed to harm my husband and his family. You killed my nephew turned my apprentice to the dark side for a while, tortured my other nephew and your traitorous agent Shesh almost kipnapped my child. I will enjoy watching you die" Mara said. Shimrra screamed curses in his native language. Omini gave him another communication. "Listen up lab rat, I have had it up to here with all your conquering and killing. Bad enough you invade our galaxy. But then you kill my best friend, infect my sister in law with some disease, kill my son, torture my other son! I AM SICK OF YOU [CORELLIAN CURSES] SCARHEAD!" Han said. Leia got on" You are very lucky that Master Yoda has chosen to take care of you. If I were there I'd make you BEG for mercy. You killed too many friends and family and you have lived long enough to watch all of yours die. Now it is time for you to join them. Anakin got on "You are VERY lucky warmaster that I am not Vader anymore. Your even luckier that I am holding my wife and daughter back from going after you. If you survive this war, never hurt my family again or I promise I'll let go of them and help." Anakin cut the comm. "Luckier you are then. Dead you will be." Shimrra turned around to see all his crew dead And Yoda's saber ignited and ready. Yoda charged his battle cry heard throughout the empty ship. Shimrra took out his amphistaff and deflected Yoda's blows. Yoda somersaulted over Shimrra and tried to run him through. Shimrra just barely managed to deflect the blow and took a cut across his chest. Shimrra's blows became more furious and Yoda didn't weaken in the least. With each blow by Shimrra, Yoda's blocks and blows increased. Shimrra stabbed his amphistaff to bite Yoda's long ears, but Yoda easily decapitated the snake's head. Shimrra somersaulted backward trying to find another weapon. Yoda had taken the time to relax. Though it did not look like it, on the inside Yoda was drained from the first fight. After a few minutes he was ready again, but he stood their waiting. Shimrra was scared. Yuuhzan Vong don't get scared he reminded himself. the Yuuhzan Vong were once human." "Your a bunch of crazy lab rat rejects" Jacen and Vergere's words came into Shimrra's head. ]We're human. Then that means I'm a Jeedai! indeed Shimrra was gifted in the force. Shimrra found Omini's dead body and saw a smooth cylinder The jeedai's weapon! Shimrra stretched his hand out and the weapon flew into his grasp. Shimrra gasped. Yoda stood there not at all surprised. Shimrra ignited the scarlet blade and charged at Yoda. Yoda simply parried the blade and leapt into the air levitaing above the Overlord. "Lost your fleet is. Die you will." "Not yet!" Shimrra said. He deflected another blow and leapt on top of a control panel. Shimrra started to open himself up to the force. He flung pieces of control panels at the small Master. Yoda saber deactivated and levitated back to his belt. Yoda then caught the objects and flung them back at Shimrra. Shimrra jumped off the control panel and took off at a fast run down the hall. Yoda's speed was uncanny. In an instant he was in front of Shimrra, blade raised to attack. Shimrra deflected another blow and jump backward tricking Yoda. After the Master was behind him, Shimrra used the force to run faster toward the hanger. Yoda threw his saber intending to cut Shimrra's legs out from under him, but Shimrra sensed his attack and leapt up narrowly avoiding losing his foot. Finally he made it to the hanger. Ten coralskippers were docked. Shimrra ran to the nearest one. "Disabled them I did." Yoda said. Shimrra's eyes widened as he further inspected at the ships. Indeed Yoda had disabled the skips. "End this we will" Yoda jumped on to one of the nearest starships raising his saber for the killing blow. In that instant Shimrra knew he couldn't escape the blow, but he could minimize it. Willingly he put his left hand up to deflect the blow. Pain flooded through his body. I'm a warrior we enjoy pain. Life is pain Shimrra embraced the pain and brought his saber up to deflect Yoda's next blow. Yoda leapt high once again levitating in the air. It was then that Yoda's true strength was revealed. Through the entire battle Yoda had been holding back. But now Yoda's glowed in the force. His blows became increasingly harder and Shimrra staggered under each blow As a desperate attempt Shimrra through his saber at the diminutive Master. Yoda just missed losing his toes. He took advantage of Shimrra's last attempt and decapitated the Overlord. Shimrra's shocked expression stayed on his face as his head rooled down the hall. Yoda, exhausted closed his saber down and walked slowly to his fighter. **************************** The squadrons had reduced all the skips to space dust. Mace and Luke watched as Yoda's fighter blasted out of the capital ship. Han and the Falcon swung by turrets blasting, reducing the capital ship to bits of coral. "Cries of joy rang out over the comm as the last ship was destroyed. The war against the Yuuhzan Vong was over. ******************************* Cal staggered and collapsed into his chair. The war was over. Now came the hard part. The clean up. But right now Cal was too exhausted to do anything. ******************************* "Congratulations Admiral" Pelleon said to Ackbar. "And to you as well. Without your aid, we would never have won"Ackbar replied. "The Empire wouldn't be here without the success of your plan at Ebaq." Pelleon said. "Tell me Admiral Ackbar, what are your plans now that the war is over?" "I intend to retire permantly and live out the rest of my life in peace here on Mon Calamari. And you Admiral?" "The moffs will want us to withdraw now. We will return to the Remnant. And then we will see. Good luck to you Admiral Ackbar" "And you Admiral Pelleon." ******************************* Traest Kre'fey was dancing around The Ralroost. The bothan ships were likewise celebrating. *********************** Wedge, Tycho and the other veterans of Rogue Squadron along with Han, Land and Talon Karrde were enjoying some Correlian whiskey. ******************* Back on Mon Calamari Mara and Luke were celebrating with Ben, Leia, Padmè, and Anakin. Padmè recieved word that a huge banquet was to be held in honor of the defeat of the Yuuhzan Vong. Luke and Mara took Ben to get ready. Padmè went to speak with Cal. Leia was left alone with Anakin. "Father." "Yes?" "I want you to know I forgive you." "Thank you dear." Anakin moved to hug her. "But I won't forgive you from holding me and mom back. I wanted his head!" Leia teased. "Well I can see if Master Yoda brought it back with him" Anakin said. The two laughed and smiled. ********************* Epilogue Jaina walked into Jag's quarters. "Hi Jaina" Jag said "Its been a while" Jaina said. Jag walked over and passionately kissed her. "I missed that" He said. "Me too. What are you onna do now that.." "The war is over" Jag interutpted Jaina nodded. "The Chiss made a vote. They are joining the Republic" "Why?" Jaina asked surprised "You'll hear all about it at the banquet. Until then lets make up for lost time." Jaina smiled. ************************** Once again the council was in a solemn mood. Though the war was over, many questions remained. " Who ordered the Yuuhzan Vong?" Leia asked "According to Master Vergere a Senator ordered an army for the republic who were imune to the force" Mace said "Palpatine" Luke,Yoda, Plo and Aayla said. The council thought about it. "His forst attempt at an army" Luminara said. "Perhaps it wasn't his first" Obi-Wan suggested. "Immune to the force." Saesee said." He wanted them to eliminate us and leave us powerless." The council was worried. Even in death Palpatine plagued the Jedi. "Investigate this further we must" Yoda said. "Agreed" Mace said. "Master Yoda you said the Yuuhzan Vong you fought was force sensitive" Eeth Koth asked. "Yes called a saber to him he did. Fought well he did. Strong in the force he was. The dark side I sensed in him. Be turned he would not. Forced to kill him I was." Yoda said "Unfortunate" Kit Fisto said. "This meeting is over" Mace said. "We have a banquet to attend" Luke added. ******************************** Cal stood in the center over the large table. To Cal's right sat The Jedi Council, Padmè Anakin, the twins, Jag and Ben. To Cal's left sat the Chiss, Admirals Pelleon,Ackbar,Kre'Fey and Generals Fel,Antilles and Bel Iblis. Along with other loyal senators, Tenel Ka and other Jedi Knights and high council members. "The war against the Yuuhzan Vong was a long, bloody, painful, and cruel one. I have been in the military for a long time and I thought defeating the Yuuhzan Vong would be easy for the New Republic. I was wrong. We lost many friends and family and heroes old and new were lost. Chewbacca, Elegos A'Kla, Wurth Skiddr, Miko Reglia, Ganner Rysode, Anakin Solo, Borsk Fey'la and Queen Mother Teniel D'jo to name a few. When we lot Coruscant we thought it was the end. The Senate was in crisis, the fleet scattered but then with General Antilles' battle at Borlias, The bothans declaration to destroy the yuuhzan vong, Admiral Ackbar's brilliant plan at Ebaq; the war took a turn for the better. But what made the difference was the battle at Bothawaui and Geonosis. At Geonosis the old Jedi order and Senator Amidala were found and the war became easier. The jedi played a very active part in this war with the formation of the Jedi council, jedi squadrons and then Senator Amidala convincing the Empire and Chiss to join in the fight. Without the help of these heroes the war were still be on or worse we would have lost and all died. Today we honor these heroes for the role they played in defeating the Yuuhzan Vong" Everyone applauded. Admiral Pelleon stood up. "By now you must have learned the Empire is not joining the Republic, but the Chiss are. I am here to clear that up. After years of countles service to the Empire I feel that I am entitled to retirement. I am leaving the Empire and resigning my rank. If called upon by the Chief of State or the Jedi to serve in another war , I will of course comply. But I do not want to spend the rest of my life rotting in the Remnant listening to whiny Moffs every day. Because of my leave General Fel and the Chiss have decided to join the Republic. They feel as do I that the Empire died a long time ago. It is time to move on." Pelleon sat down. Everyone applauded. Cal stood up once more "And now Master Yoda." Yoda stood up and Walked over to the podium. "946 years old am I. Look very good for that age I do."Yoda ran a hand through his blounde hair. Everyone laughed. "Oh force!" Mace said. "Scene it all I have, Sith, Empire, Rebel Alliance, New Republic but shocked I was with the invasion of the Yuuhzan Vong. Learned the council has the origin of the Yuuhzan Vong. Only a few select senators also know this truth. Still more proof we need to be sure. " Mace stood up "Jedi Master Vergere went to Zonama Sekot 50 years ago. She willingly joined the Yuuhzan Vong to learn about them should they ever attack us. Unfortunately they Yuuhzan Vong did attack and the New Republic was unprepared. When Jacen Solo was captured he learned this from Vergere. Together the two escaped. After our return, Vergere requested to return to Zonama Sekot. She believed the Yuuhzan Vong and Zonama Sekot were connected. She was right. She discovered a secret lab where scientists were trying to create an army of super soldiers immune to the effects of the force. Do to the mix of a memory wiping drug and a force suppresent these soldiers went insane. They became the Yuuhzan Vong. It was discovered that a Senator ordered this army for the Republic. The Jedi Council believes this was one of Senator Palpatine's attempts to destroy us. " Everyone was startled. Whispers broke out and that loud discussions and then Padmè rose. "QUIET!!!!!!!" The room went totally quiet Anakin stood behind Padmè "That's better now lets enjoy ourselves. Servers came out with plates of food. Everyone turned to eat and celebrate the end of the Yuuhzan Vong. ******************** After the banquet Leia decided to tell Padmè about her dream and what Anakin had said her. After Leia finished Padmè spoke "Have you had the dream again since you spoke with your father?" "No" Leia said. "Then I believe your father was right" "I guess so" Leia said Leia yawned and headed to her speeder "Good night mom" "Good night dear." *********************** And now your highness we will discuss the location of the Rebel base" Anakin awoke in a cold sweat. Padmè was sound asleep. Anakin called his bathrode over to him and put on his splippers and headed to his study. Perhaps meditation will help me he thought" He sat down and started to meditate. Images and voices surrounded Anakin. "I slaughtered them like Animals" "What is thy bidding my Master?" The familiar breathing could be heard in the background. An image of Anakin throughing fighting Luke cutting his hand. Another vision of Luke captured Then my father is truly dead. An image of Anakin and Luke battling Anakin losing his hand. "I am a jedi like my father." "So be it Jedi" Anakin throwing Palpatine down the shaft. Tell your sister You were right Another image of Anakin and Padmè "Your the chosen one Anakin like hell you couldn't think straight!" "Would you have killed me?" Anakin awoke started. What is happening *********************** Luke I am your father Your father he is Vader you must face vader That name no longer has any meaning to me!" You don't know the power of the darkside. I must obey my Master" "He is your Master now Luke awoke breathing hard. "Something terrible is about to happen." ******************** Yoda awoke deeply troubled. Mace was at the door. Yoda let him in. "Coming something is" "But what" "Always in motion the future is. Clouded by the darkside" Mace stood there deeply troubled. "Then we must be ready when it is revealed." ******************** No jedi slept well that night. Something was happening but know one knew. Leia awoke and all she heard in her haed was Darth Vader's breathing and the Emperor laughing. THE END
