Title: Many Happy Returns
Author: Tahi
Timeframe: NJO
Characters: Anakin Solo, Tahiri Veila, Lando Calrissian, Tendra, Remis Vehn, Qorl, OCs
Genre: Adventure/Romance
Keywords: A/T, Peace Brigade
Summary: After Anakin and Tahiri's adventure with Corran at Eriadu and Yag'Dhul you'd think nobody would be crazy enough to let them tag along on another seemingly simple trip. You'd also be very wrong!
Notes: Continuation from Classic Board


When I read Anakin's death in Star by Star, I - like many people - threw the book across the room and ranted and raved in despair. After three readings, I still cry like a baby, but I decided the best remedy was to write, so I did. At first I wrote stories that helped me work through the grief - and if you'd like to read those they're collected under the title "Warrior of the Light" which is the first link in my sig. Then I decided to go back and fill in some of the gaps the canon writers have left.

I wrote a little story that works a bit like an extra scene on the end of Rebirth - showing Anakin and Tahiri beginning to work their feelings for one another out. (That one, called "Beginnings" is in my bio if you're interested.) Then I started this one - which starts two months after Rebirth, and incorporates to a certain extent the establishment of Eclipse. As I enjoyed Conquest and Rebirth so much, I've tried to get the same atmosphere in this story.

The first 12 chapters of this story reside on the classic board. In case you are a new reader, follow this link and you will find them.
Many Happy Returns

The wonderful Maggy has done a cover for the story:




If you are one of the regulars - here we go again. As you may remember, Lando and Tendra were heating things up at the warehouse. I guess we'd better check up on what Anakin and Tahiri are up to at the swoop gang HQ.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

It hadn't taken Rongo long to gather the occupants of the compound together in the large room that served as the gang's common room. Anakin studied the barred windows and the burn marks on the walls, and decided that the room probably had a colourful history. The furniture was square and basic, and it was also scarce, meaning that most of the motley collection of humans and humanoids were either lolling against the walls or squatting on the floor. He didn't need to reach far into the Force to feel the gamut of conflicting feelings they were broadcasting. They covered almost the entire emotional spectrum - from the guarded curiosity of those at the front through to the irritation and, in some cases, hostility of those who had chosen to stand against the wall at the back.

Rongo watched the two teenagers with fascination as they gazed around the group studying faces, their eyes semi-focused as if they were seeing through the person's skin into their souls. Rongo didn't adhere to any organised religious beliefs, but like a lot of his companions, he followed his own idiosyncratic code based on loyalty and honour. Friends and family, and in Rongo's case this meant the extended family of swoopers, were to be defended at all costs, and any action that furthered that end was therefore good. Written into that simple system of ethics was an unstated belief that anyone who died defending kin would rest easy, and that their future in the afterlife somehow rested on their actions in the here and now. It wasn't difficult therefore for Rongo to imagine people having souls, or for Jedi to be able to see them and judge who was honourable and who wasn't. He wondered if that made it easier or harder for them. After all, what would it be like fighting alongside someone who you were pretty sure could stab you in the back at the first opportunity. He pondered that for a moment, and decided that sometimes being limited to the relative ignorance of mere instinct might not be such a burden after all.

A voice broke in on his thoughts.

"So you got us some new initiates, Rongo?" called a lean man with a shaven tattooed head who was sitting against the wall to Anakin’s left. "Couple of hundred on the kid if you pit him against Skell here," and he dug the little biker, whom Anakin had tricked and stunned, in the ribs. Skell winced and adjusted the position of the makeshift icepack on the knee he had twisted when he fell.

"Well actually, Blue," replied Rongo evenly. "I’d put a couple of hundred on either of them to take on any of us – just ask Muss there. And Skell, Teebone and Doc."

"Okay, okay, I get the picture." Blue held up his hands in mock defeat.

"How is Teebone by the way?" Rongo asked.

"A bit concussed," replied Blue. "But he should be back on his feet tomorrow, although he won’t be good for much."

"So what’s new?" Rongo pulled himself upright from where he’d been leaning against the pitted wood of the counter that obviously served as the gang’s bar. "However, I didn’t get us together to discuss Teebone and his health problems. I want us to talk about Bomar Tag."

He waited until the chorus of hopeful murmurs and annoyed groans died down, his dark eyes flickering from face to face. "Exactly the reaction I expected. This Tag business has been hanging over us for a while. You know where I stand, but you also know I’m not willing to divide us over it. We’ve got too good a thing going here to screw it up." He stopped, and again the hiatus was filled with conflicting sounds of assent and dissent.

"So, what have these kids got to do with Tag?" asked an attractive woman with piercing blue eyes and a geometric chin tattoo. Anakin recognised her as being a native from Miriala. "I thought they were the ones who stole Muss’s bike."

Rongo nodded. "They did. And Muss is going to explain why, aren’t you Muss." The steely edge to Rongo’s voice made it impossible for the unhappy biker to ignore the indirect command.

"They reckon they stole it so they could rescue their friends," he explained in a long-suffering tone, "because they reckon Tag’s gonna turn them over to the Vong."

"Why?" Blue frowned.

Rongo turned to Anakin. "You want to take over now, kid?"

Anakin chopped his head in a curt nod and stood up.

"Wahoo! Give the Jedi some space!" called a scathing voice from the back.

"Don’t fry our minds, Jedi!" squeaked someone else in mock apprehension.

"Hey, give the kid a chance!" shouted Blue, and then he directed a loud theatrical whisper at Anakin from behind his hand. "Get your little blonde friend up, kid. They’ll sure as hell listen to her." It was obviously intended as a joke, but in one liquid movement Tahiri had leapt to her feet and was advancing on the astonished biker, her green eyes glittering like those of a serpent ready to spit venom.

"Now just you-"

"Tahiri!" Anakin reached out and grabbed her shoulder to pull her back. The sudden motion jerked the long side of his poncho up, revealing his blackened shirt and the burnt and puckered flesh of his blaster wound.

The room fell silent.

"Vaping meteors, kid," said Rongo. "You in the habit of wandering round with big ventilation holes in you? Why didn’t you say something?"

Anakin shrugged. "It didn’t seem relevant."

Rongo took Tahiri’s arm and held it up so he could investigate the injury he had seen earlier but hadn't taken much notice of. "How about we fix you two up first."

"We don’t have time for this," Anakin hissed in exasperation. "The more time we waste, the more time Tag has to get organised."

Blue had stood up and was weaving his way through the group of bikers sitting on the floor. He reached Anakin and went to lift up the side of his poncho, but found his hand caught in a vice-like grip.

"Just doing my job, kid," he explained kindly.

"It’s okay," Rongo assured Anakin. "Blue’s our medic."

"I meant what I said about not wasting time," Anakin warned him, but he released Blue’s hand so he could carry out his investigation of the wound more closely.

"Who did this to you, kid?" he asked as he straightened. Anakin studied the shrewd eyes gazing into his, and recognised genuine concern lurking beneath the steely facade.

"One of Tag’s men," Tahiri answered for him, "while we were trying to escape. After they captured us, they held us in a room at the factory because they had ysalamiri there, but we managed to–"

"Whoa, whoa – you’re going to fast for this stupid swooper. Explain ysalamiri to me," said Blue.

"They’re creatures from Myrkr," said Anakin. "They create a Force bubble that effectively makes a Jedi Force-blind. In other words, it means we can’t use the Force anywhere near them. The fact Tag had them means he was prepared for catching Jedi – and the reason he wants Jedi is so he can give them to the Yuuzhan Vong. He’s with the Peace Brigade."

The assembled bikers had been following the activities at the front with fascination, although not a little confusion. The mention of the Peace Brigade, however, provoked a massed interchange of glances, some triumphant, some contrite.

"Looks like Jonno was right," murmured Blue, transferring his gaze to Rongo.

"Of course he was right." The tanned biker’s jaw had visibly tightened.

"Tag is holding our friends at his warehouse," said Anakin. "Our friends aren’t Jedi, but Tag was probably going to hand us all over as a package deal. Now that we’re free I don’t know what he’ll do. That’s why we’ve got to get them out as soon as possible."

The Tunroth who had been standing beside Muss stepped away from the wall. "This ain’t our argument, Rongo."

"Tag killed Jonno and Pet and got away with it," he reminded her. "You do agree we should make him pay for that?"

"We all agree on that," she shrugged. "But that’s between us and Tag."

"We all agree, but we’ve done vape all about it," interjected a red-haired youth about the same age as Anakin, who'd been gazing at Tahiri in open admiration. "The Rancors would have had his nuts hanging on their gate by now."

Rongo threw the boy a harsh look. "Yeah, well we’re not Rancors are we, Jaytee. If we were, your nuts’d probably be up there with Tag’s, and I won’t comment on whose’d be smaller."

There were muffled chuckles amongst the group and Jaytee’s cheeks flamed the same colour as his hair, but he returned Rongo’s reprimand with an insolent stare.

"I’d like to think that one of the reasons we all get on so well here – most of the time anyway – is because we run on democratic lines," Rongo continued. "Whatever we do, we do because we all agree to it, because we can all see some sort of mutual advantage to it. You want me to run this joint like the Rancors, Jaytee, just say the word, but I’ll lay down a thousand credits you’d be the first casualty. Anyway," he grinned, softening the hard lines his face had frozen into, "that’s a Rancor bike that Muss’ll be riding for a while."

"You had a run-in with them?" Blue’s eyebrows shot up in poorly concealed amusement.

Rongo nodded, and rolled his eyes. "I was so busy chasing these guys I lost track of whose turf we were on. These two helped us fight them." He grinned. "We didn't damage them too badly - just enough to rattle them."

"So we owe the Jedi kids – and you want us to pay by helping them?" the Tunroth clarified.

"Seems fair enough to me," said the Mirialan woman.

"Yeah, but they still nicked my bike and presumably wrecked it," growled Muss.

"And they put Skell, Doc and Teebone out of commission for a while," scowled a furred Trianii, her prehensile tail curling lightly around the back of her chair.

Rongo looked across at the first man Anakin had stunned back at the alley, and noticed his pensive expression. "What do you think, Doc?"

The big man stared back at his leader for a moment and then leaned forward stiffly in his seat, gripping his thighs firmly to stop them inadvertently twitching. "Well, you know me. I respect anyone who can give as good as they get, so I’m willing to give these two a hearing. I also want to get Tag because of what he did to Jonno and Pet, and I suppose like most of us here I’ve been assuming the chance’ll crop up eventually. The thing is now though - after listening to the kid - I’m thinking what if the Vong get here before we get around to doing anything? What then?" He stared round at the assembled faces. "I mean Jonno and Pet joined that anti-Peace Brigade group because they believed Tag was in league with them, and Pet wanted to do something to avenge her brother, right?" He paused again, but when nobody responded he hauled himself threateningly to his feet. "Well?" he demanded.

There was a rapid chorus of assenting nods and grunts. "Okay," he sat back down again. "So some of us thought they were right and some of us thought they were wrong, but all of us accepted their right to make some sort of stand for their beliefs. Now they’re dead because of those beliefs – and standing here before us we have proof that in fact they were right about Tag. Not only that, but Tag’s actively trying to capture people, and the thing that worries me is – if he’s planning on giving them to the Vong like the kid says, is he going to invite the Vong here. If he is then it puts this whole debate about revenge in a different light. If we leave off paying him back, we might find ourselves kissing Vong ass before we can say Thrawn."

The group was silent, but Anakin could see people nodding, and several bikers at the back who had been glaring at him were now looking thoughtful.

"What happens to people that get given to the Vong, kid?" asked Rongo quietly.

"It depends," said Anakin. "They may decide to use them as slaves or expendable troops, in which case they plant a coral growth in them so they can control them." He felt a stab of phantom pain in his neck - a reflexive reaction to his memory of the fake growth Vua Rapuung implanted in him on Yavin 4. "The other thing they might use them for is as sacrifices to their gods. The one thing they don’t want them for is fellow citizens, and anyone who thinks they can buy favours with the Yuuzhan Vong are badly mistaken. They don’t want cooperation or peace – they want total domination."

"You think Tag might have already contacted the Vong?" asked Skell nervously.

Anakin frowned. "It’s possible, although it’s more likely he’s dealing with a contact within the Peace Brigade itself. He’s not a known collaborator. If he was we wouldn’t have tried to do business with him."

"You know what makes me nervous," Skell piped up again.

"Everything makes you nervous," Muss chuckled cruelly.

Skell threw the sharp-faced biker a dirty look.

"Go on, Skell," Rongo prompted.

"Well. If Tag is thinking of trying to do deals with the Vong and trade slaves for favours, who’s he most likely to pick on? Not your average Mr Solid Citizen, that’s for sure – it’ll be people like us. And it looks like he already has friends amongst the police – maybe even in higher places – because he got away with killing Jonno and Pet."

"Emperor’s bones – he’s right," growled the female Tunroth.

Muss’s expression looked as though he’d just realised he’d mistaken nauga droppings for Agamarian sugar berries. "Yeah," he gulped. "He is."

"You been face to face with the Vong, kid?" asked Blue.

Rongo turned towards his shaved compatriot and saw him studying the youth guardedly. He wondered if Blue was thinking like him – that it should have felt odd to be giving such respect to the words of a teenager. After all, both he and Blue were accustomed to a hierarchy in which it was age and experience of gang life that gave a person status and credibility. Even in their gang - the Black Knights - which operated on democratic lines, the younger members deferred to the older ones. At least they did if they knew what was good for them. But there was something about this kid, something about his earnest but authoritative demeanour that almost compelled Rongo to listen to him, and made him feel that he’d be willing to follow him. Blue’s uncharacteristic seriousness suggested that he might feel the same way.

"We both have," replied Anakin. "Those scars on Tahiri’s forehead were made by a Yuuzhan Vong shaper who tried to turn her into one of them.

"A shaper?" repeated Rongo, frowning.

"The shapers mould living things," explained Tahiri, "and because the Yuuzhan Vong base their technology on living things, the shapers are very skillful and important. People are just lumps of tissue for them to experiment with and redesign."

"The Peace Brigade think the Yuuzhan Vong are willing to cooperate, and that by collaborating with them they’ll be able to strike some accord," continued Anakin. "A group on Duro tried that approach. On the planet there were about half a million refugees who the Peace Brigade figured the Yuuzhan Vong would happily take as sacrifices in return for letting the Duros keep their orbital cities. They forgot that the Vong see technology as an abomination against their gods. So when the Vong arrived they brought a creature like a huge space slug that could chew up the cities – people, technology and everything."

"Then when Tsavong Lah promised to stop taking planets if the New Republic turned over its Jedi, a group in the Peace Brigade decided to capture all the Jedi children training on Yavin 4 and hand them over. They also thought they could negotiate. But all that happened was the Vong took the planet, planted one of their shaper compounds there, and then turned the Peace Brigaders into slaves – those they didn’t murder that is."

"The Yuuzhan Vong see collaborators as weak," said Tahiri. "And they don’t like weakness – it offends them and it goes against their beliefs. They believe in gods that see pain and death as something to embrace, which is why they scar themselves or cut off limbs and graft on implants. They also think that all life is theirs to shape into whatever they want. That’s what they tried to do to me – they tried to shape me into a Yuuzhan Vong with Jedi abilities so I could become another of their weapons. They would have succeeded, too, if Anakin hadn’t rescued me. He’s fought them hand-to-hand on Yavin and on Dantooine, Ithor and Yag’Dhul. He’s flown against them, too, at Duro, Dubrillion and more places than I can name. That’s why you have to listen to him, because he knows what he’s talking about. One thing I can tell you from my experience is this – they wouldn’t be interested in Tag and his friends because they’re just cowards. But they might be able to do something interesting with people like you. And if you sit by and do nothing to stop Tag, then sooner or later you’ll find out exactly what that is."

Tahiri stopped and gazed around the room, suddenly aware that all movement had frozen like a scene in a HoloDrama switched on to pause. She threw Anakin a quizzical look – but he answered her non-verbal query with a shrug.

Rongo was the first to find his voice. "Did you say Anakin?"

Tahi, I can see the reasoning behind your decision to post here. As for me, I prefer to keep my fanfic where it is and add on there. Less chance of posting one section in the old and another section in the new.

Now, where did you get the idea of Black Knights? Was that a spur of the moment decision, or are you hinting at what will be happening soon - the gang and the Jedi teaming up against Tag.

Still have Tahiri reacting like that? I wonder how she'd react if Anakin choose to flatter her. Though somehow I don't see Anakin as a flatter.

I think I know how Jaytee is looking at Tahiri. <wicked chuckle> Surprised you didn't have any of the other boys do the same.

Nice tie in with AOTC - the Mirialan swooper.

"Nuts"? Ooh. Delivering quite a low blow there. And in front of Tahiri? For goodness sakes she and Anakin never had a chance to... Unless you're planning to post that in a future post or make a reference to it.

Now that Anakin's identity is revealed, I get the feeling there's going to be some hero worshiping. And that the women in the group will me making advances towards him, like Alema did.

Ah good, you found this okay. Thanks, JA. The Black Knights? It took me a while to think of a name I liked for the gang. That suggested itself after writing about them for a few chapters.

Anakin and flattery? Hmm. Wait and see. wink We are dealing with a developing relationship here, remember.

I see a bit of Han in Anakin in this chapter Tahi. And that run on paragraph of Tahi yapping away--bang on. wink

Are we heading to a grandfather reference? You don't have to answer that.

Thanks, Moff - I guess you'll have to wait and see what Anakin's name means to Rongo and the others.

Yep - I'm glad to see the "echoes" are still coming through.

Wow! Long post.
Good one, though.

"We don’t have time for this,"
Echos of the same Anakin as in SbS. At least this time he did allow himself time for healing earlier in the story and now allows someone to look at his wound.

I liked Tahiri's fiesty reaction. wink

Again, you highlight how the non-Jedi, non-political portion of the galaxy misunderstand what is going on around them. I don't think that the NJO books really did enough of that.

I also thought including the Mirialan woman was cool. I liked Luminara (sp?) in The Approaching Storm.

You did a great job again of capturing the inner-workings of a character's thought process. Rongo musing over his previous ideas that age = experience and wisdom. Well, Anakin and Tahiri can certainly shatter the teenager stereotype for him and the others.

Good thought, Moff. I'm so Anakin Solo oriented that I forgot that they might be thinking Anakin Skywalker. But I'm not sure how many average people in the galaxy even knew Vader had a previous name or life! wink

I liked that paragraph about Rongo’s beliefs. It really showed the strong bond between him and the rest of the swoops. It also gave a little insight as to just how trustworthy he might be.

"Vaping meteors, kid," said Rongo. "You in the habit of wandering round with big ventilation holes in you?”

*nods head* Yep, Anakin sure is used to that. happy

"Whoa, whoa – you’re going to fast for this stupid swooper. Explain ysalamiri to me," said Blue. grin

Rongo was the first to find his voice. "Did you say Anakin?"

Oooo, this keeps getting better and better. That post was awesome, Tahi. I really got a good picture of how the swoopers live. I loved the exchange between the characters. Great job as always. I can’t wait for more!

Jade - Yep, I realise this bit is long, but it was hard to find a place in this chapter to split it. I agree that the books didn't give a clear idea of how the average citizen thought about the Vong. And yes, I really liked Luminara too. I was sorry there wasn't more of her in Ep2.

A and T certainly do shatter the teenage steretype - you're 100% right about that. happy

Lonewolf - I'm glad you're getting a good picture of Rongo's character and how the swoopers operate. I did a quick reread of Wedge's Gamble, as there's a bit about swoopers in there, although not as much as I would have liked. I chose to use the swoop gang as they're a bit like the Jedi in a strange way - ie society has ambiguous views about them and they have their own code of behaviour.

When was this posted? Gah, I hate busy weekends! But anyway, this was a wonderful section. I liked the way you explained Rongo's beliefs and showed how he got the gang to function democratically -- doing something because most of them wanted to and because they saw some kind of advantage to it. I also liked the way that Rongo spoke up about Jonno and Pet, and gave Anakin the chance to explain why Tag is wrong about the Vong, so that the gang can see that helping these Jedi would be advantageous for them.

Good of Skell to see that Tag is also a menace to gang members like them!

And it sounds like it's not just Rongo, but the entire gang who has reacted to the name Anakin. I wonder why! Looking forward to more, as always. happy

"The Rancors would have had his nuts hanging on their gate by now."

I'd never thought I'd see the word "nuts" in Star Wars! laugh I was quite shocked when I found "crotch" in Rebel Stand. silly I know I'm being immature, but ya just wouldn't imagine words like that in Star Wars.

"Nuts"? Ooh. Delivering quite a low blow there. And in front of Tahiri? For goodness sakes she and Anakin never had a chance to... Unless you're planning to post that in a future post or make a reference to it.

She already did, although in a different story. Check for a link to it in her bio. It's certaintly interesting. mischief

LOL - you guys crack me up. I'll post more complete answers to your comments later on tonight - having one of those hectic days!!

I don't get on-line as often as I'd like - just recently added another member to the family, so going through some readjustments to the old routine. happy However - the story will continue, and I really really appreciate all the feedback. So thanks again. happy
