LOL. I guess a little whining can help now and then. tongue Thank you to everyone who responded. hugs

SSM12-Glad to see you back, dude. And also glad you liked the chapters as well. Makoto and Tenel Ka's sparring match will be next post, actually. And will be its own post. And yeah, Hotaru's pulling a Hinata. tongue

baf-That's cool, dude. Yes, Jacen needs more time. And that's precisely why Jaina and Usagi are at odds with one another.

Taeniaea-Thank you.

Ish-LOL. Thanks for catching up. hugs yes, Jacen has to be smacked here... although compared to profic JINO, this one's smart. And glad you liked the mush.

Lady_Jade-I can see the look, too. Deer in headlights, no doubt. wink And glad you liked Tuxedo Ennth's intro.

Earthknight-Thanks, and glad you liked my J/TK. I'm not buying Sacrifice either.

r_c-Thank you for catching up, and what you wrote is just fine, dude. happy Jacen did stutter, remember? LOL. And you'll see with Hotaru and Anakin. More fighting's coming...next week. wink And thank you for your spoiler-free Sacrifice review. A 7, eh? Hmm, that'ds the highest you said you'd igve it, too. Hehe.

Idrelle-No problem about school, dudette. Thanks for catching up, there. And glad you laughed at that.

All right, I fleshed out Hotaru's class with some other characters from other animes because... it was a heck of a lot easier than making up OCs. tongue

Naruto, Sakura and Hinata are from Naruto.

Chiyo-chan and Yukari are from Azumanga Daioh.

Son Goku is from Dragonball Z

Here we go!

*****
Mara walked among the temple's open courtyard with nary a care in the world. It was almost 2:00 A.M and Luke was asleep in their room, tired from the past few hours lovemaking.

She wore a simple pair of slacks and a shirt while twirling around and looking about, feeling utter peace. The Jedi Master sat down on a bench near an old tree and stretched out, not only physically, but through the Force as well. So in tune was she, the redhead never even noticed the presence beside her until she turned her head to look the ghost right in the eye. "Oh!" she cried out in surprise.

Sitting next to her was an older man in rumpled old robes. He was translucent and tinged blue, but there was no mistaking the twinkle in his eyes or the smile on his face. "It's nice to finally meet you, Mara Jade Skywalker. I am-"

The Jedi Master interrupted him. "Ben, Ben Kenobi?" She shifted in her seat. "It’s nice to meet you. Luke‘s told me a lot about you"

Ben nodded. "The honor is mine, my daughter."

It took Mara all of ten seconds to realize what Ben had just said. "Wait…'my daughter'?" Her jade eyes quickly grew to the size of saucers.

Ben's mouth tightened and honest to goodness tears fell from one of his eyes. "Yes, Mara. I am your father."

She sucked in a breath and centered herself before continuing. "When did you know?" she asked.

Ben’s head dropped . "I've always known."

Mara's anger and sadness exploded. "Then where the hell were you? No, don't answer that. I already know." She stood up and pointed at him. "You cowered in the desert while Palpatine twisted my soul and burned the Old Republic to the ground." The former Emperor's Hand trembled with rage, not giving Ben a moment to retort. "Luke, Leia, Han, Lando and the rest had to pick up the-"

Ben gestured with his hand and Mara was abruptly Force-shoved back into her chair. "Palpatine found you in the old Jedi Temple during the beginning of the Purges." His eyes closed as he recounted the tale of the last time he saw his daughter alive…

Ben hurried through Platt’s Well as screams reverberated through the halls. Clone troopers advanced in their new armor, cutting down those who stayed behind to protect the departing transports. None of that mattered to Ben, though. He had to get to the nursery. He had to get to his daughter…

He arrived at the door, but halted as he sensed two powerful presences in the Force. The Jedi Master let out a curse as he saw the two people he had hoped never to see again.

Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader stood in front of a cradle, the only cradle with a baby still in it. "So, you Jedi anticipated my little raid," Palpatine stated from underneath his hood. "It's a pity you forgot one little one."

Ben shouted and ignited his lightsaber, sending a brilliant blue blade forth. Vader's right arm disappeared into his cloak. And when it emerged, he held up a blood-red lightsaber in a classic one-handed stance. "You will not interfere with the Emperor," he snarled.

The two lightsabers met, sending out a shower of sparks. Vader's superior strength eventually forced Ben back one step at a time as he kept up pressure on Ben‘s plasma blade. Finally, he parried his blade out of position and struck at the handle, severing it and destroying the lightsaber.

Ben's eyes burned with tears as he saw Palpatine reach into the cradle. "No, damn you, NO!" He tried to slide past Vader, but the cyborg held out his hand and telekinetically shoved the Jedi Knight back.

Palpatine's orange eyes looked over the squalling infant. "Soon, you shall no longer cry," he rasped out. The foul being looked at Ben and sneered. "Go from here, Ben Kenobi. Know that you shall never see your daughter alive again. I have foreseen it."

Ben scrambled to his feet, but Vader simply struck him in the face, sending him pinwheeling away. The last thing he saw before unconsciousness took him was a pair of boots walking away. The last thing he heard was the cry of an infant…


Tears slid down Mara's cheeks as Ben finished. "I'm sorry." she stuttered. "I-I didn't know."

A smile crossed the shade’s face. "It's all right. There was no way for you to."

She finally looked back up at him. "Well, Palpatine was right about one thing. You never did see me while alive."

Ben shrugged, a small smile crossing his mouth. "Well, I suppose he'd have to be right about one thing over the course of his reign."

Mara let out a titter of laughter, covering her mouth to prevent more from escaping from escaping. Ben's blue eyes looked about. "Hmm, maybe I should've had Yoda come along. He'd have you rolling along the ground."

The Jedi Master composed herself, then looked at him with renewed seriousness. "Was there anything important to tell us, like last time with Luke on Yavin IV?"

Ben shook his head. "No. I simply wanted to see my daughter one last time before returning to the Force." He began fading out, but before he vanished completely, Ben's voice echoed out once more. "I also wanted to see my granddaughter as well."

And with that, he vanished, leaving behind a thoroughly perplexed Mara. Her hands reflexively went to her belly and she turned inward, probing with the Force. It only took her a few seconds to confirm Ben's prognosis. I'm pregnant. I don't know how I know this early, but I know. She shot to her feet and let out a shout of pure, unbridled joy, then went back inside to Luke.
*****
Leia, Chewie and Han sat in the Falcon's main cabin that night. Han sipped from a cup of Corellian whiskey and sighed. "So, do you think Luke can train those girls?"

Leia shrugged as she bit into a piece of bread. "I don't know. Yoda once told him that a Jedi must unlearn what they have learned, but for some of them it'll probably be impossible."

Her brown eyes flicked to the doorway as Lusa entered. "I can't sleep," she sighed.

Chewie motioned to the table and an empty spot and Lusa nodded, trotting over and sitting down on the deck. Han offered her a shot glass of Corellian whiskey, but the young centaur declined politely and instead sipped on some water.

Chewie looked her over and growled a question. [Why are you up so late?]
Lusa's eyes glanced up to the ceiling. "I'm nervous," she finally admitted.

Leia smiled and took her hand. "That's perfectly natural, Lusa."

Lusa sighed. "I know, but it still doesn't feel right." She glanced over at Han and Chewie. "I bet you two never get nervous."

The old smuggler let out a chuckle. "Kid, the day you're not nervous a little is the day you die." He motioned to Chewie, who let out a growl. "Chewie and I have been through just about every kind of adventure 'normal' people can go through, and I still get the jitters sometimes. The trick is to not show it and cause others around you to get the feeling."

Lusa thought about that for a moment. "Thank you, sir," she said, smiling somewhat.

Chewie looked at her and whined while Han copied him and joked, "You're right, Chewie. Who did walk in just now?"

That brought a smile to Lusa's face and a giggle to her mouth. She rose to her four feet and walked back to the door to the bunks. "Thank you again, Han," she said over her shoulder before walking off.

Leia looked over at her husband and smiled. "Nice job, sir," she said, throwing him a mock salute. The former smuggler merely leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms behind his head, whistling nonchalantly.

Chapter Seven: Gains and Losses
Rei stood before Luke, not sure what to expect. The two woke early that day, and after breakfast and a shower, now stood out in the main courtyard. Other assistants were getting the temple ready for the day, leaving Luke alone with his new apprentice.

He sent out a probe through the Force in an attempt to gauge her power. His right eyebrow shot up in surprise. "I feel much power from you, but also much anger, hidden deep down. You must let that go in order to avoid the Dark Side."

Rei's black eyes narrowed. "But my anger gives me power, and I have much to be angry about." Her anger rose like hot magma from within as she stepped forward. "My mother died, and my father abandoned me. All I had was my grandfather until I was fifteen!" She walked over to Luke, who remained motionless.

Finally, he spoke, placing a hand on her shoulder. "That is tragic, Rei. I know what you've been through."

The priestess’s mouth dropped open and her head tilted back somewhat. "How would you know?"

Luke's blue eyes narrowed imperceptibly. "It happened to me as well." He let go of her shoulder and began pacing in front of her while speaking. "My father was Anakin Skywalker, and my mother was Padme Naberrie. My sister and I were separated at birth. She went to Alderaan and became a princess, while I went to Tatooine and became a moisture farmer."

A tight smile spread across his mouth. "Anakin fell to the Dark Side and became Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith, while Padme died soon after childbirth." He paused for a bit to compose himself. "Your grief is well-founded, but you must move on, lest it consume you."

Rei nodded and blinked back tears, feeling new respect for men in general and Luke in particular.

Mara watched the two from the window and sighed. For some reason, she didn't tell Luke about he condition last night. Now she waited for the teaching to be over before she told Luke about her 'condition'. She walked back into the room and fidgeted with her transformation wand, suddenly unsure about the future.

Before this, she saw her future with Luke as a straight line. Now curves were cropping up all over. Would this child inherit the powers of the Senshi? Would she even be strong in the Force? A million questions bombarded her, and answers were few and far between. She looked back outside and saw Luke demonstrating telekinesis on a smallish boulder near the tree. The former Emperor's Hand smiled as Rei let out a gasp at the levitating stone. We should've brought over Luke's X-wing. That would be fun to see.
*****
Luke lowered the boulder back into the ground. "Sometime, you will be able to do that."

Rei clapped her hands, not unlike a child. "Please, teach me, Master Skywalker!" she half-shouted.

Luke shook his head. "No, Rei. You must learn how to crawl before you can walk. Concentration is key." He stepped aside and walked past her and up to a huge tree dominating the courtyard. He sat down cross-legged and patted the ground next to him.

Rei sat down dutifully next to him. "Now what, Master?"

Luke settled back against the tree and closed his eyes. "Now, we meditate for an hour. After that, I shall begin showing you basic ways to control your body."

Rei nodded and closed her eyes, clearing her mind of all distractions. She soon settled into a trance-like state, her mind focusing with sword-like sharpness.

Mara walked out and over to Luke‘s spot, a sneaky smile on her face. She knelt down and up to his ear, blowing into it.

Try as he might, the Jedi Master couldn't keep a grin from his face. His eyes shot open. "I'm teaching a class here," he complained, a pout on his face.

Mara's jade eyes glanced at Rei. "She's pretty deep into meditation," she observed. "Besides, there's something I need to tell you now." For five minutes, Mara told Luke about Ben's visit last night. By the end, tears stung both pairs of eyes.

"I knew there was something special about us, but I didn't know it was that."

Mara nodded, her voice stuck in her throat for a moment before she could speak. "I also have something else to tell you." She paused for a moment, gathering every last bit of courage she had before blurting out, "I'm pregnant."

Luke's mouth dropped open in shock. "What? How? When?"

Mara stifled a chuckle as she grabbed Luke‘s hand and pulled him to his feet.. "I'm pregnant, you were there so you know how and last night. Any other questions?"

Luke let out a whoop of joy and hugged Mara, twirling her about. "I'm gonna be a father!" he shouted.

Rei's onyx eyes abruptly shot open. "An hour already?" She jumped to her feet and bowed to Luke. "Are we ready for the next set of lessons?" she asked with a twinkle in her eyes. “And congratulations on your child, Master.”

Luke nodded and smiled. "Thank you, Rei. And yes, it’s time for you to move on. Please come over here and we can show you how to regulate your body through the Force."
*****
Hotaru dashed out the door, a piece of toast in her mouth. “I’m going!” she shouted behind her shoulder as she slipped her shoes on. She hitched her backpack up onto her shoulders, but paused as she ‘heard’ Anakin’s voice in her head, brining a smile to her face.

Have a good day, Hotaru.

Tahiri’s voice joined in and Hotaru could almost see her waving frantically. Yeah, have a good day! Wow, I’ve never been to a school like yours. Is it like the Academy on Yavin IV at all? I learned everything from Sliven when I was younger, one on one, and it was weird…

Hotaru half-closed her eyes and tuned Tahiri out for the sake of her sanity, if nothing else. She ran down the street, passing underneath cherry blossom trees in full bloom on the way. There were few cars on the road at this time of day, but people were beginning to leave their homes for school or work.

Five minutes after leaving, Hotaru reached the gates of Jubaan High School. Students of all grades mingled on the front steps, but Hotaru paid them no mind as she ran into the huge building and dashed down a corridor and up a flight of stairs to the next floor. She stopped off at her locker and opened it, grabbing her books and notebook for class.

Two minutes later, she entered a classroom and sat down. Next to her, a small girl with red hair in twin pigtails looked over and smiled. “Hey, Hotaru!” Mihama Chiyo-AKA Chiyo-chan said rather cheerfully. The eleven year-old genius rose from her seat and stepped over. “How was your vacation?”

A nervous chuckle escaped Hotaru’s lips. “Oh, it wasn’t too bad. Not much happened except for a short trip to the country.” In a sense, it was true, albeit lacking in the finer details of the Jedi Academy and Galaxia… “Ready for another fun-filled semester?”

Chiyo-chan nodded. “Oh, yeah! I just hope it’s not disrupted too much by Tomo or Naruto. That pair seems to love messing about and ruining our chance to learn!”

Hotaru stifled a laugh. “It could be worse, Chiyo-chan. I know some people who would make those two look like model students.” Her head suddenly whipped around as the door opened and a girl with pink hair stomped in. “Sakura, what’s wrong?”

The slim, pink-haired Haruno Sakura walked over to a window on the far side of the classroom. She sighed and cleared her throat. “Attention…” A low growl came from her throat and she cupped her hands to her mouth. “Hey, everyone!” she shouted. When everyone turned to her, she smiled rather sweetly, belying the frustration Hotaru could feel bubbling beneath her façade. “Presenting… the number-one knuckleheaded ninja of the Jubaan District… Uzamaki Naruto!” She turned and grabbed the bottom sill of the window, shoving it open.

Sakura leaned over and looked up. “All right, you dork! Get this over with so I don’t feel so stupid!”

Hotaru rose from her chair, her danger sense spiking. “Sakura, what’s going on?” she asked, walking over with several other students. “Is Naruto planning on jumping through the window or something?”

She nodded. “Precisely, Hotaru.” She stepped back while winding a lock of her long hair around her finger. “Now he should be-”

A cry rose from Hotaru’s mouth. “No, no!” she shouted as she moved forward. At that instant, a blond-haired man a year older than Hotaru suddenly dropped down from the roof, a rope tied around his waist. He sailed forward… and smacked into the closed window next to the one Sakura had opened. A sickening crunch could be heard by all as Naruto flew back, his entire body limp.

Hotaru jumped out the window, using the Force to augment her leg strength as she reached for the wildly swinging body. Her eyes widened as the buckle holding the rope snapped. She stretched her arms out, her right hand grabbing the rope while her left hand shot out to Naruto’s uniform jacket.

Her fingers found purchase on both materials and she kicked her legs out as momentum brought them back to the building. She braced her legs as she hit the building, jarring her spine. She ‘walked’ across the concrete face, throwing Naruto into the open window before kicking herself off the building. She repositioned her body directly across from the window before she swung back.

Hotaru let go of the rope and reached out, grabbing the sill. Several students latched onto her arms and pulled her inside. “Are you all right?” Chiyo-chan cried out, tears streaming from her wide eyes. “That was so scary!”

A low groan came from Hotaru’s mouth. “I’m… fine, Chiyo-chan. Thank you.” She rose to her feet, legs shaking as Chiyo-chan, Sakura and some other students held onto her arms for support. “Naruto, Naruto!” she cried out, going over to the young man. She knelt down, but her fears were already being assuaged. Still breathing steadily… and he’s getting stronger. Her eyes narrowed at such a contradiction, but she dismissed it.

Naruto’s blue eyes fluttered open. “Hey, how’d I do? He asked, sitting up somewhat. His eyes suddenly crossed and he fell back. “Ow…”

Sakura’s fist clenched. “Naruto, what the hell’s the matter with you? You could’ve been killed!”

He looked up at her and laughed. “Yeah, but I wasn’t! And it was a great stunt, too.” He suddenly kipped up, wobbling a bit but standing. He thrust out his hand to Sakura with his fingers splayed in a victory sign. “Uzamaki Naruto has made his entrance!”

One of the other students stepped forward with a jar in her hand. “Naruto… I have some pain reliever for you, if you wish.” The gray-eyed student held it out with trembling hands, her cheeks bright red.

Naruto waved her off as he walked to his seat. “Thanks, Hinata, but I’m fine.” he plopped down at his desk, but glanced over. “Hey, why are your cheeks red? You all right?”

Hyuuga Hinata squeaked and stood stock-still while everyone else returned to their seats. Just then, the door opened again and Tanizaki Yukari stepped in, the teacher for English. “All right, break it up!” she shouted, slamming her briefcase onto her desk and leaning over it like a gargoyle. “Playtime is over and it’s time to-Naruto, what the hell happened to you?” she shouted, pointing a finger at him.

Naruto smirked and looked over his wrinkled and dirty clothing. “Hey, it looks better than usual. So what’s the lesson for today, Yukari baby?”

Hotaru rubbed her forehead and leaned back in her chair. Oh, this will be a long semester…
*****
Shop Class
Hotaru rubbed a piece of sandpaper over a piece of wood, smoothing it out and removing any splinters. She looked up as an older man walked to her bench. “How does it look, Mister Goku?”

Son Goku, shop teacher extraordinaire, knelt down and looked over the piece of wood. His muscular arms flexed as he picked it up and looked it over. “Very nice, Hotaru. It looks like it’s almost done. What’s it gonna be?”

The young woman blushed slightly, and her violet eyes glanced down to the table. “Oh… it’s going to be a lamp, for a friend.” She reached over as Goku handed it back to her. “I only hope he likes it…”

Goku shook his head, his wildly-styled hair waving back and forth and creating a somewhat strong breeze. “He’d be a fool not to, Hotaru. It’s really fine craftsmanship.”

A sigh escaped Hotaru’s lips as she bent back down to the wood. “I hope so, Mister Goku. I hope so…” She shook her head, dispelling such thoughts. “Can you help me put in the wiring, please?”

A smile crossed Goku’s lips as he nodded. “I’d be happy to, Hotaru. Just tell me when you’re finished applying the sealant.”

The young woman nodded before going back to work. Anakin will love this. It’ll be the best lamp in all of Tokyo!

Please read and review. The next post will be on the 17th. Up!

You get bonus points from me by throwing in Azumanga Daioh characters. grin Fun, fun.

So, you subscribe to the theory that Mara is Obi-wan's daughter, eh? That's a retro fan theory, though. Interesting, I don't really see it mentioned most places anymore. Most people make her a descendent of the Sunriders.

Hotaru has the most insane clas I've ever seen. Before I read it I was slightly miffed that the Evangelion characters weren't involved ('cause some of their tantrums are hilarious) but it turns out you didn't need them. Naruto and Azumanga Daioh did good enough jobs by themselves. I am shocked no one's really giving Tahiri a second thought, though.

Hmm . . . I think I know who the lamp was for . . . mischief

Good post and thanks for the PM, RK.

Now make stuff blow up already. tongue

Great post! Hmm...so Mara is Obi-wan's daughter huh? It's cool that Luke would marry his old master's daughter. Nice touch with Azumanga Daioh and Naruto(although I've never seen Naruto). Great reaction from Luke about Mara being pregnant. Looking forward to more!

SSM12-Thanks. Glad you liked the cameos, there. And it could be Naruto. After all, he healed up pretty quickly there... mischief And yeah, pregnant.

Taeniaea-Thank you. happy

Lady_Jade-Thanks. Glad it fits, there. I thought it does. And... well, it's Luke. She'll understand his concerns-before smacking him upside the head. wink

r_c-LOL! Glad you liked the Daioh characters, there. I wanted to inculde EVA, but it was pretty crowded already and I wans't sure I could do Asuka, Shinji and Rei justice. Sorry. sad And yea, Hotaru has the most insane class ever. Although, I didn't show all the classmates... tongue And yeah, the lamp's for Anakin, as she stated. wink And there's some action in this post. Oh, and Mara was Obi-Wan's daughter in the original 3NSS, and I liked that, so that's why I kept it.

baf-I thought it was cool, too. grin Glad you liked the cameos and Luke's reaction.

All right... I have a request. To all of you. This post here is one of my proudest posts I've written for... well, any of my fics. Since 1995. I respectfully ask for you all to please review it. praying It's pretty special to me, you see. These two characters-Tenel Ka and Makoto-are two of my favorite fictional characters of all time. And I put a lot of effort into this one. So, if you could... Please?

Kazuma Kuwabara is from the anime Yu Yu Hakusho and Kenshin is from Rurouni Kenshin.

Here we go!

*****
Jacen rolled over onto his side and let out a mumble. His eyes suddenly shot open as he regained consciousness, and he saw Tenel Ka lying next to him. For a split-second, he forgot where he was. "Ah!" he half-shouted. “Tenel Ka, what are you doing there?

Tenel Ka's gray eyes shot open. "Jacen, what is it?" she asked, getting up to a sitting position-while clad in her lizard-hide armor.

Jacen also rose to a sitting position, his hands rubbing the sleep out of his eyes and. The two were in bed, both Jedi still fully clothed. Tenel Ka twisted around and levered herself to her feet. She sniffed twice. "Makoto has been cooking," she said, heading quickly for the door.

Jacen followed after her and they left their room for the living room. Makoto was kneeling at a table in front of the couch and was already digging into some wonderful looking food. Her green eyes looked over at the two Jedi. "Oh, come on over!" she said, motioning with her chopsticks.

Tenel Ka sat down on her right, Jacen on her left. All three bowed before the meal and said. "Itadakimasu" before eating.

Jacen took a bite of food and his brown eyes rolled into the back of his head. The food was incredible! Tenel Ka picked up on his delight and arched an eyebrow at him in amusement. "Is it good, friend Jacen?"

Jacen took another bite and nodded. "It's great!" he mumbled between gulps.

Makoto smiled and tilted her head at him. "Thank you." She took another bite of food. "So, when do I begin training to become a Jedi?"

Tenel Ka thought for a moment. "I believe after breakfast is a good idea." Jacen nodded, his mouth too full of food to reply. The two ladies looked at each other and rolled their eyes at him. “What?”

Ten minutes later, , Jacen, Tenel Ka and Makoto walked to the other half of Makoto's apartment. While the second floor above the Senshi's bakery was reserved for Makoto to live in, only half of it was the cozy apartment most people saw. The other half was a training center almost unparalleled in design.

Free weights were on the far side of the room, stacked on large poles that kept them in place. Various weapons lined an entire wall, ranging from simple bo staffs to katana blades and chains, to about a dozen firearms. Various training devices lined the wall opposite the weapons display, including a free-standing punching bag that was being worked over by a young man. He had reddish hair cut into a mullet and muscular arms under his shirt.

Makoto walked over to him even as he worked the bag over. “Kuwabara, sorry, but my friend and I need some privacy for this workout.”

Kuwabara Kazuma stepped back and wiped his sweaty forehead. “Oh, okay Makoto.” He walked over to the side and picked up a bag, pausing long enough o take a drink from a canteen. “Oh, did you get the design for Yusuke and Keiko’s anniversary cake ready?”

Makoto nodded as she stretched a bit. “I have my best people working on it, Kuwabara. There’s just some… personal things going on, so I might not be able to supervise it personally.”

Kuwabara nodded. He slung his bag over his shoulder and walked to a door near the back of the dojo, but he paused and turned to Tenel Ka. “You’re fighting Makoto?”

Tenel Ka nodded, her eyes narrowing. “Yes, why?”

A grin crossed the mullet-wearing tough guy’s mouth. “Make sure your insurance is paid up, then.” And with that, he walked out. “Catch you later, Makoto!”

The warrior Jedi turned to Makoto, her knuckles cracking. “And who was that, precisely?”

Makoto looked over her shoulder as she walked to an empty space in the middle of the dojo. “Just an old friend, Tenel Ka. Now how are you gonna ‘teach’ me the ways of the Force?”

"We shall fight," the Hapan princess stated as she followed Makoto. She stood opposite the brunette and flexed her legs, settling into a martial arts stance. “Are you ready?”

Jacen watched from the sidelines, quickly forgotten as the ladies readied themselves. Makoto slid into jujitsu fighting stance and circled Tenel Ka to close the gap between them. When she reached within one-and-a-half meters, she lashed out with a one-two combination. Her right fist went for Tenel Ka's midsection, while her left forearm went for the head.

The Hapan princess moved her head slightly out of the way and blocked the blow to her abdomen, turning the blow away. Her right foot also lashed out, kicking Makoto's left thigh. Hard.

Makoto disengaged while Tenel Ka spoke. "I anticipated your movements through the Force, my friend." She sidestepped up to Makoto and sent a punch right below her left eye. It connected, spinning Makoto around and causing a large bruise to form rapidly under her eye. "You must reach out and learn to anticipate my movements. Otherwise, you will get hurt very rapidly."

Makoto shook her head and took a deep breath, letting her green eyes close. Tenel Ka lashed out again, this time with her right foot, but Makoto's hands grabbed it. Her eyes opened again as pushed Tenel Ka to the floor, but the redhead rolled through the push and bounced back to her feet.

"Good."

Makoto thought for a moment. "I could see you doing that a fraction of a second before you actually did it."

Tenel Ka nodded and a feral grin lit up her face as she advanced once more. "It is the Force, friend Makoto. Now let us see how well you can do."

The two met in the center of the dojo again, trading blows and blocks with a furious pace. Makoto swung at Tenel Ka's face, but the redhead blocked it with her left arm and parried the arm under her armpit, allowing her to chop at Makoto's neck.

In return, the brunette reared back slightly and headbutted Tenel Ka twice, dazing her a bit and forcing her to release Makoto's right arm. Makoto struck at Tenel Ka's chest, striking the lizard armor twice and cracking scales off.

Tenel Ka growled and grabbed Makoto’s arm, twisting it around and flipping her to the ground. The redhead held onto the limb and pinned Makoto to the ground, sending several strikes to her face before Makoto forced her off with a knee thrust.

She rolled through and quickly got to her feet, just in time for Makoto to jump up and punch her in the head. Tenel Ka reared back. "I am impressed.”

Makoto grinned and held her arms up. “So am I, Tenel Ka. This has been great!”

Tenel Ka glanced at the wall lined with weapons and reached out with the Force, latching onto and levitating a katana blade into her hand. It dropped into her hands and she unsheathed it before going into a series of swings with it, getting a feel for it.

Makoto glanced at the wall and tried to reach out, but nothing happened.

Tenel Ka shook her head at her with admonishment. "Do not use such a heavy hand. You crush the Force that way."

Once more, Makoto pursed her lips and reached out. This time, one of the bo staffs rattled a bit. The brunette didn't quite know how she did it, but the staff slid off its brackets and fell to the floor, rolling to her feet. She kicked it up to her hands and spun it around over her head twice before settling into a defensive stance.

The two ladies approached each other once more. Tenel Ka swung the steel blade at Makoto, who blocked it with her steel staff. The weapons slid against each other, sending up a shower of sparks that lit up their faces.

Makoto spun through the impasse and struck at Tenel Ka's legs, tripping her up and sending her to the hardwood floor. Tenel Ka winced in pain as she landed, but managed to roll out of the way when Makoto brought the sharp end of the bo staff down to the floor, almost piercing her skull.

She got back to her feet and swung overhead, forcing Makoto to block with the staff. Tenel Ka's arms strained as she forced the weapons down to the level of their chests. The two ladies locked eyes, and both knew that the other one was having the time of their lives. This was not a fight out of malice or hate. It was simply the best way to begin Makoto's training as a Jedi Knight.

The two broke off and spun around, their hair trailing behind as they spun. Makoto pointed the sharp end of her staff at Tenel Ka's head, while the Hapan princess went low for her abdomen. Both stopped mere centimeters from their opponent's flesh and waited for the other to move.

After about thirty seconds, Tenel Ka broke off. "That was an excellent workout," she said, levitating the katana’s sheath back to her left hand. She slid the sword into its protective covering, but stopped short as her eyes lit upon the blade. “Makoto, I am sorry!” she spurted out. “I did not know this was a ceremonial blade.” She finished sliding it in before holding it out, her head bowed in contrition.

Makoto smiled and walked over to the wall, placing the staff back in its place. “It’s not a ceremonial blade, Tenel Ka. It’s a sakabato, a reversed-edge sword.” She turned, walked back to the redhead and gently took the sword from her. “An ancestor of mine named Kenshin wielded this weapon against evil and injustice, never taking a life with it as long as he wielded it.” She stepped back and held it out to Tenel Ka. “Here, take it. You used it far more effectively than I ever could.”

Silence settled upon the dojo as Tenel Ka reached out with two trembling hands and took the sakabato. She clutched it to her chest and bowed deeply at the waist. “Friend Makoto, I shall treasure this. Thank you,” she said before stumbling forward a bit.

Jacen ran over to his friend. "Are you okay?" he asked, grabbing her by the shoulders and steadying her as she stood back up.

Tenel Ka nodded, then slumped against him. "I am…fine, friend Jacen. The adrenaline has merely worn off."

Makoto walked back, limping noticeably. "We must do that again," she groaned.

Tenel Ka nodded. "That is… a fact."

Awesome chapter man! Kuwabara got a good cameo, and Makoto gave Tenel Ka Kenshin's Sakabato! Awesome! And the fight was really, really cool.

Taeniaea-Thank you. happy

Hopefully this will get more... But please review the previous post, too. praying

Asuka and Shinji are from Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Here we go!
*****
Hotaru’s foot tapped as she waited for the final school bell. when it sounded, she dashed out of the classroom and made a beeline for her locker. The metal door swung open a half-second before she reached it and she grabbed her clothes before turning and running for the girl’s locker room.

The young woman slipped through the crowd of milling students as she made her way to the back part of the school. Once there, she changed in record time into a red dress, sandals and a big floppy hat. Hotaru shouldered her bag once more before running out of the locker room-and straight into a tall, pale-skinned redhead.

“Ach!” Asuka Langley Soryu exclaimed as Hotaru bowled into her. “Watch where you’re going!” she shouted as Hotaru raced past. Asuka shook her fist at the retreating Hotaru and scowled. She turned to a rather meek-looking boy next to her and her lips curled as she spoke. “Honestly! Shinji, can you believe the nerve of her?”

Hotaru slowed down and turned to the German transfer student and her friend and yelled, “Sorry!” before racing off again. She exited the school and found Anakin standing there, a serene expression on his face and his hands in his pockets. “Are you ready?” she breathlessly asked.

Anakin nodded and the pair walked down the street to downtown Jubaan. His eyes took in everything around him; the blue sky, the tall buildings and the cars running on wheels.

Hotaru turned back to him and smiled. "This is great," she said, beaming. “Thanks for agreeing to come with me. Oh, also…” She reached into her backpack and pulled out the lamp. Fingers trembling, she held it out to him. “I… made this for you, in shop class.”

Her head looked down to the ground as her cheeks turned scarlet. She felt the lamp being taken from her hands and she glanced up. Relief poured through her as he smiled and bowed his head.

“This is lovely, Hotaru.” His blue eyes looked over her in her red dress, sandals and a big, floppy hat. In contrast, Anakin wore a simple pair of black slacks and a blue shirt. Hotaru walked over to his side and hesitated for a moment before finally reaching out grabbing Anakin's hand.

He squeaked slightly as she pulled him along, weaving through the pedestrian traffic rather easily. Within a few moments, they stood in front of an ice cream parlor. "This is it." she said, leading him inside.

The couple sat at a window booth as a slim young woman with frizzy red hair walked up to them. "Hi, Hotaru!"

Hotaru looked up and smiled. "Hello, Naru!"

Osaka Naru, owner of the ice cream parlor, handed the pair some menus. "So, is this your boyfriend?" she coyly asked.

The young woman's pale cheeks blushed at Naru's question, but Anakin looked at Naru and motioned with his hand. "You don't need to know that."

Naru's expression went blank. "I don't need to know that."

Hotaru nodded, reaching out with the Force herself. "You just want to get us our chocolate parfaits."

Naru took the menus back and mechanically straightened up. "I just need to get your chocolate parfaits." She turned around and marched back to the kitchen.

Hotaru slumped into her seat. "I hate it when that happens."

Anakin nodded. "I agree."

She looked at him with wide violet eyes. She reached deep within herself for every scrap of courage that she could muster before finally blurting out, "Anakin, I love you!"
Silence reigned at the table for five minutes. Naru returned with their chocolate parfaits. Finally, Anakin cleared his throat. "Ah, I don't know what to say," he finally admitted.

Hotaru looked down at the table, this time gathering her thoughts before speaking from her heart. "I've loved you ever since I saw you on the Rock Dragon two years ago. You're handsome, intelligent, kind and selfless." She suddenly looked up into his ice-blue eyes. "I don't care how long I must wait for you to make up your mind. I can wait!"

Anakin's mouth dropped open in astonishment. "Wait? For what?"

Hotaru sighed and shook her head, sending her short, midnight-black hair swishing around her head. "Not what, who."

Realization slowly dawned for Anakin. Tahiri! He shook his head, clearing his mind of the name. "You mean you both love me?" he said incredulously.

Hotaru nodded, a wan smile on her face. "She’s right. You are a dummy, at least where love is concerned."

Anakin covered his mouth, but a snort of laughter still escaped his lips.

Hotaru also tried to keep a straight face, but a smile cracked through. "I will sort my feelings out," he finally said. “Nothing else would be fair.”

Hotaru nodded. "That is all I can ask of you." She then pointed to the parfait. "Anakin?"

"Yes?"

"You had better start eating. The parfait is melting."

Anakin picked up a spoon and scooped out a spoonful of ice cream. He took a tentative bite, then took another five in rapid succession. "Uncle Luke’s right," he said. "Chocolate is good."
*****
Usagi sat in the middle of her apartment, trying desperately to concentrate. Her nose was scrunched up, and a look of determination was on her face. Jaina stood over her. "Don't think, feel."

A sigh escaped Usagi's lips, and her head fell to her chest. "This is impossible!" she whined.

Jaina rubbed her forehead and brushed a lock of stray hair from her eyes. "With that attitude, it will be." She paced back and forth in front of the kneeling Senshi. "A Jedi must be able to concentrate and call upon the Force at a moments notice. If you can't concentrate inside this small apartment…"

Usagi gritted her teeth. "When can I learn how to levitate stuff and build a lightsaber?" she asked.

Jaina turned and sat down in front of Usagi. Did Uncle Luke have this much trouble when I was training?

Usagi’s eyes opened and she spoke up. "I doubt he did. You're a smart person, Jaina."

The eldest Solo child smiled in spite of herself. "Thank you-" She suddenly shot to her feet. "How'd you know what I was thinking?"

Usagi shrugged. "I just heard the words in my head." Her eyes opened wide and she looked over at Jaina." Did I do something wrong?" she asked. Her voice wavering slightly.

Jaina chuckled. "No. No, you didn't." She walked around Usagi. "Maybe you're a bit more advanced than I thought," she observed. She looked around and spotted a pair of tongs on the kitchen countertop. "Usagi, reach out with your senses. Can you see the tongs on the counter?"

The blond Senshi nodded and Jaina knelt in front of her again. "Reach out with the Force, and bring them over."

Usagi nodded and half-closed her eyes. "I'll try."

Jaina cut her off with a wave of her hand. "No! Do, or do not. There is no try." Usagi's blue eyes opened at that, allowing Jaina to look her in the eyes. "That is one of the most important lessons a Jedi learns, and one of the first Uncle Luke teaches."

Usagi nodded, a look of resolution on her face. She half-closed her eyes and reached out with what seemed to be the Force-or at least some cosmic energy. The tongs appeared in her mind, this time clearer. She bit her lips and pulled.

The tongs trembled before flying off the countertop at Usagi, but they were interrupted by the back of Jaina's head. They bounced off the back of her skull before flying up and over, landing in front of her.

Jaina’s eyes closed and she let out a cry of pain. "Ow!" She looked down at the tongs and a noticeable dent in the handle. Jaina tentatively reached behind her head and felt an egg-shaped lump begin to form. "What the hell was that?" she yelled.

Usagi opened her eyes. "What? It's not my fault your head got in the way."

Jaina shot to her feet. "You didn't have to have them go mach five!"

Usagi subsequently leapt to her feet, standing nose to nose with Jaina. "You told me to bring them over. You didn't say at what speed." She stuck her tongue out at Jaina, who promptly retaliated by sticking her tongue out at Usagi.

The two remained like that for almost a half-hour.
*****
Zekk and Mamoru bounded from rooftop to rooftop, both in their Tuxedo Guardian forms as Mask trained Ennth.

Tuxedo Mask landed on the rooftop of a bakery, turned to Tuxedo Ennth and threw a red-colored rose at him, stem first.

Ennth dodged it and unclipped a cane from his belt. He aimed it at Mask and the cane telescoped out, hitting the young man in the shoulder. Ennth landed on the roof and reached into his cape, pulling out an orange rose. With a flick of his wrist, he sent it sailing at Tuxedo Mask.

Mask pulled out a cane of his own and sent it spinning in a circle, deflecting the rose away. He also threw another rose at Ennth with his free hand.

This time, the rose hit him in the face, petals first. The bounty hunter stumbled backward and yelled, "That smarts!"

Mask nodded. "The rose is a lot stronger than it appears to be, Zekk." He pointed his cane at Ennth and concentrated for a half-second . The piece of metal extended, hitting the ground just before Tuxedo Ennth's feet and gouging out the concrete below.

Ennth regained his balance and unclipped his lightsaber. He activated it, sending an orange plasma blade shooting from it. Before he could advance, a series of loud beeps began sounding out from Mask's wristwatch.

The young man sighed and concentrated, reverting back to Chiba Mamoru. "I have to go to work." He bowed to Ennth. “Good workout.”

Tuxedo Ennth removed his white mask, reverting back to Zekk. "That was great," He exclaimed. “And thanks for telling me how to remove this thing.”

Mamoru nodded, then looked around. "I don't believe it," he muttered, a slow smile crossing his handsome features. "This is the office where I work."

Zekk let out a laugh. "The Force can work in mysterious ways."

Mamoru nodded and headed for the stairs off the roof. "I'll be back tonight," he said. Zekk bowed and waved before transforming back into Tuxedo Ennth and leaping off the roof to the next.
*****
Ami's face was lit by the glow of a computer screen. Now she was in her element; researching the enemy and looking for their location. She took an absentminded bite of a sandwich and looked over the results. "Unfortunately, we have only two attacks by the enemy. We know that Galaxia had sixteen soldiers before I destroyed the Berthier shell. Also, it must be in a shielded area, otherwise we could pinpoint it through the Force rather easily."

She looked back-and rolled her eyes at the other occupants of her bedroom. Tionne was on the bed, leafing through an American history book. Sannah was playing video games and Anja was…Ami reached out with the Force, pinpointing her new friend. Anja was downstairs with Kayko, making sandwiches!

She looked over to the window and said, "hi, Luna." about two seconds before the black cat bounded into the room.

Luna glared at the blue-haired genius. "Ami, I tolerate Luke doing that because he's Luke. Please don't anticipate where I am or what I'll say, okay?"

Ami looked down into her lap. "Sorry, Luna. I won‘t next time."

The feline dropped down from the windowsill and wandered over to Sannah, who was deep into 'Mortal Kombat'. "Fatality!" she shouted.

Luna sat down next to her. "Shouldn't you be helping Ami?"

The young Melodie looked down at the cat and shrugged. "Why? I'm not a brain like her and Tionne." She looked over at the bed. "Maybe you should bug her instead of me." Sannah turned back to the game and shouted, "Finish him!"

Luna jumped onto the bed while Tionne's silver eyes scanned page after page of information. "I'll help Luna once I find out who won the Battle of Gettysburg."

Ami looked over. "The Union won," she said.

Tionne closed the book with a slam and mock-glared at her, finally getting to her feet and walking over. "In a city the size of Tokyo, it will take some time to determine where we cannot sense anything."

Sannah looked over her shoulder at the two. "Why not start from where the attacks happened?" she suggested.

Ami turned around in her seat and smiled at the young Senshi. "That's a great idea!" Her delicate hands danced over the keyboard. "It was a construction site along the waterfront and a rooftop in downtown Jubaan."

Just then, Anja and Kayko walked in. "Are you hungry?" Kayko asked.

Tionne looked up and took the tray. "Thank you," she said, bowing her head in thanks.

Anja's brown eyes wandered down to the floor. Luna sat in front of her, a look of intense scrutiny on her feline face. Anja rolled her eyes. "Okay, what do you want?" she asked. A bright light suddenly emanated from the crescent mark on Luna's fur, hitting Anja square in her forehead. Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to the two.

A diffuse warmth spread through Anja's body. Her mouth opened in shock as she felt it. The feeling ended as abruptly as it began. "I was right," Luna said. "You are a Sailor Senshi."

Sannah looked up at her from her seat on the floor. "The speeches are mandatory, and so is looking very goofy while doing it." She turned back to her game even as Anja scooped Luna up and dashed out the room.

She ran down the hallway, followed by Ami and Tionne. "Anja, wait!" Tionne shouted.

Anja turned down a corridor and went into the bathroom, locking the door behind her. Luna took that opportunity to jump out of her arms. "Well, that's a first. "I've never been kidnapped-"

She stopped speaking with a squeak when she saw Anja towering over her, seething with anger. "I don't know what the kriff was up with that, but I am not a Sailor Senshi, understand?" She began pacing back and forth, gesturing with her left hand while running her right through her long, stringy dark blond hair. "I'm not a Jedi. I just got my life together again. I lost my ship." She stopped and looked back down at Luna. "I can't! I won't be a Senshi!"

Luna sighed and organized her thoughts before speaking, for fear of confusing Anja and for basic fear of her life. "Anja, are Jaina and Jacen and the rest your friends?"

Anja nodded and Luna continued. "They are going into the fight of their lives, and it's quite possible that they'll die here,"

Anja sank to her knees and tried to speak, but Luna continued unabated. "They need every bit of help that they can get. Will you turn your back on them?"

Anja's brown eyes closed as she thought about how they helped her when she was a drug addict working for Black Sun. She finally sighed and asked, "How do I do it?"

Luna flashed a toothy smile. "Hold out your right hand and concentrate." The woman did, and an ornate rod appeared in it. Luna nodded in satisfaction. "Now hold it to the sky and shout the name of the planet you most identify with along with the phrase ‘Power Makeup‘."

Anja held it aloft and, without thinking, shouted, "Bespin Power Makeup!"

The door opened, allowing Ami and Tionne to see inside. A gasp escaped Tionne's lips as she saw Anja transform.

A dark orange cloud surrounded her, melting her clothes and reforming them into a Sailor Fuku, complete with a dark orange bow and miniskirt. Matching high heels and elbow-length gloves completed the ensemble.

She turned around and posed, saying. "I am the pretty sailor-suited soldier Sailor Bespin!" Her shoulders then slumped. "I feel like an idiot!" she whined.

Ami smirked. "You and Mara can whine and moan together, okay?" She walked in and grabbed hold of Bespin's hand, leading her out. Luna, meanwhile, walked over to Tionne and jumped up onto her shoulders, just like she did with Luke.

Instead of a smooth ride, though, Tionne stumbled back into the wall, knocking Luna off. "Ow!' the cat yelled.

Tionne rubbed her shoulder. "What did you do that for?"

The cat looked up and shrugged with a slight wince. "It always works with Luke," she said.

Tionne sighed and rolled her eyes, massaging her arm. "Luna, I'm not Luke."

"No, you sure aren't."

The training duel rocked. I liked the conversation about who loves Anakin and the frustration that was in there. My one gripe is that no one I know can stick out their tongue for a whole half an hour. It's just a waste of time. happy

Just so you know, this is a review for the previous chapter. Yes, DRL got me pretty hard.

Anyways, I liked the training duel. A bit surprised that there was no victor (then again, since you like them both equally, maybe I shouldn't), but it was quite suspenseful and well-done. But they were really close to a training accident. I don't either one of them could tolerate injuring or killing their partner.

Kuwabara's cameo was pure win. Yuyu Hakusho is awesome. grin

Still, things a bit slow at this point. I know you're trying to build Makoto up and I understand that. Oh, and nice little nod with the reverse-blade sword, too. You just love finding ways to link anime together, don't you?

Anyway, I'll try to get to the new chapter soon.

Poor Shinji. Even in an alternate reality Asuka still drags him around. tongue

About time, Haruto. I was wondering whether she would admit it or explode first. Still, Anakin's got a lot on his plate now. Somebody's going to unhappy when this is all over with.

Hotaru nodded, a wan smile on her face. "She’s right. You are a dummy, at least where love is concerned."

Tahiri is always right where Anakin is concerned. laugh

I liked the argument between Usagi and Jaina, until the sticking-tongue-out part. I don't think they would hold it for any longer than a half-minute at best. A half-hour not only is a waste of of time like Ishtar said, but it also puts the tongue in quite a bit of pain. tongue Still, it might do them some good.

She turned around and posed, saying. "I am the pretty sailor-suited soldier Sailor Bespin!" Her shoulders then slumped. "I feel like an idiot!" she whined.

It seems every one of the transformed Jedi-people feel that way. tongue Well, at least Anja takes it better than Mara.

All right, great post . . . and I forgot to open the PM. blush Thanks for it anyway!
