What violet blade, btw?
The one from the video games (Mysteries of the Sith, and I believe Masters of Teras Kasi as well...) and pretty much all the cat-suited Shannon Baska pics. And it says in "Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force" that she made her own (violet-bladed) and Luke retired Anakin's old 'saber. The idiots. (I'd be more angry, but the book has some awesome art. Make sure you check it out, 'cause it has a gorgeous pic of Tenel Ka under the "distinctive lightsabers" part.) Back to the main point. Mara on the back cover of "Allegiance" seems to have a red lightsaber, but it sure looked purplish in the "Mara Jade- By The Emperor's Hand" comics... *totally evil grin* Dude, what if Palpatine fished out Mace Windu's lightaber of the Courscant underbelly and gave it to Mara?! Oh man, a little quasi-sithling dishing out bad karma with his own lightsaber... Mace'd be having kittens in the afterlife! Rolling in his grave... or person-shaped hole in some deep-Coruscant sidewalk... )
Edit 4/26: Oh excellent! Get a load of this! I'm reading Allegiance and this is what Zahn wrote (all rights reserved, etc.): "With a snap-hiss the magenta blade flashed into existence. It was a unique color, the Emperor had told her when he'd given her the bit of starter she'd used to grow her own crystal for the weapon, one that had been seen only once in the last hundred years. He hadn't said where he'd gotten the crystal; probably it was from one of the collections of weapons and artwork and historical artifacts he had scattered around the Empire."
XD Ahhh, the Emperor is so DELICIOUSLY eeeevil! Kittens!!!
Glad you like how Chewie went out. IMHO, better than VP.
Well, that's hardly a proper compliment to your skill. It's not like that's hard.
'Amazing Grace' is of the public domain, from what I understand.
If it's not, we promise not to turn you in. So I guess that means someone's biting it in this episode, ne?
~Everyone was spread out and grouped by families-except for the children.
~John walked up to the children’s table and growled. “I am five hundred years old. What the hell am I doing here?”
~Lyria walked up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder, causing him to almost jump out of his skin. “Hey, I’m over a millennium and I sit here.”
Just like a million Thanksgiving Days all over the country! Too funny. ^_^
The Melodie settled back in her chair and looked at a point in space. “Ami, Ryo, don’t have children yet. Wait a bit, all right?”... Sannah then turned to Rei. “Enough?” she asked. Rei nodded, her mood sobered by the little exchange.
Just the right amount of hard-edged creepy. Ten points!
Rei narrowed her onyx eyes at her daughter. “Much sarcasm I sense in you, young lady.”
! Jedi parents are awesome!
“I know, Miko. It’s just… I can’t seem to connect to her anymore. And she seems so moody and distant lately. Do you think she’s remembering about her?” The last word was spoken in a whisper.
*is very eager to find out whatever needs to be dramatically revealed...*
She casually raised her left arm and her hand glowed blue before sheets of Sith Lightning poured out of her fingers.
I like your use of the term "sheets". Sounds very deadly and nasty. ^_^
Calaveras is here! She is here! Our talismans can hurt her bracelets. They can hurt her bracelets!
Oh THAT is useful!
~Tionne looked about, not sure where she was. Her head whipped around-only to come face to face with Kam Solusar. “Kam!” she cried, leaping into his arms. She hugged him before breaking the embrace. Her silvery eyes looked around. “Where are we?”
~A voice from the side caught her attention. “We are… nowhere, and everywhere. Welcome to the Light Side, Tionne,” Setsuna said, patting her best friend on the back.
~Tionn’a approached and patted her sister on the shoulder. “Your trial is over, sister. Now it is time to rest…
I would be more sad, but I just can't. You KNOW that Tionne's been suffering without her dear ones. So I'm sad for the other Jedi, but very happy for Tionne! (*gasp* Will we need another Sailor Yavin? Will that be Lyria? I can't remember... )
Sannah sat on her bed, time staff in hand and an enigmatic smile on her face. “Three, two, one…”
She just loves messing with people. Even when they're not there! But poor Sannah!
Ohhhhh, I was so choked up during the funeral! The "Amazing Grace" was perfect! The song fit Tionne and I absolutely LOVED the intercut flashbacks! Ten times ten points! My favorite was Tionne and Mara talking about Anakin and Tahiri. And her holding Kam's robes. And her being all sweet when Mara was nasty. Those were the best parts! Ahh! So good!
But it was UPlifting. Calaveras needs to get her comeUPpance. Let's just hope the Jedi won't wallow in their cUPs. I know they're UPset, but they need to get back on the proverbial horse and jam their feet in the stirrUPs!

Tionne! Die Sith scum Die!
Anyways, great post. Very sad about Tionne, but the funeral was well done along with the Amazing Grace song. At least she's back with Kam now. It's been 1,000 years after all...that's a LONG time to be seperated.

*Tip-toes back into thread*
Ah... sorry, folks.
SSM12-Thanks. Yeah, sad, but necessary, I think. Tionne needs to rest, to see Kam and the others again.
Idrelle-It's cool, dudette. To err is human, after all. Ami would be the perfect mother, yes. I'm glad you liked the use of 'Amazing Grace'.
Taeniaea-Thanks, and no problem. Get better first, then post.
Jaded_Girl-Oh, thank you very much for the explanation. I do have the Jedi Vs. Sith guidebook and yes, that pic of Tenel Ka is gorgeous! There's another one of Tionne in the front. *Fans self* Mara used Mace's crystal, how evil of Palps to do that! And I'm feeling like I need an ego boost. What would be a proper compliment to my skill? *Ducks attack from Sailor Jaded_Girl* Sannah as Neo-Pluto just loves twisting the knife. There's no 'Neo-Yavin' that shows up. Yes, Tionne needed to rest. Her trial was over. I liked her being sweet when Mara was nasty best, myself. In the early going, it just seemed like Mara needed to be taken down a peg or two.
baf-She will, she will. Glad you like the funeral, too. And yes, she's back with Kam.
I have a new fic called Vampire Princess Mara. It's a crossover with the anime series Vampire Princess Miyu. I should warm any potential readers... it's not gonna be the usual fare from me this time around.
Here we go!
*****
Tatooine, the former palace of Jabba the Hutt
Calaveras paced in front of a cloning chamber, the indicator lights ringing the top cylinder blinking yellow, indicating that the clone wasn’t ready yet. She snarled and kicked at the floor, dislodging a stone chip and sending it bouncing off the faded, crumbling walls. “How long will this take?” she asked the air. “It’s been twelve hours already. How long does it take to grow a person?”
As if in response, a light changed from yellow to steady green.
Calaveras rubbed her hands in anticipation. Her brown eyes flashed with malevolence as hoses attached to the bottom pumped out the nutrient fluid the clone was suspended in. After the sloshing of draining fluids died off, the hatch slid open, revealing a clone of Jaina Solo.
The clone took a deep breath, then looked about in confusion. Her mouth opened and she babbled a bit. Calaveras held out her right hand. “You are just a shell right now. You need a soul.” She held out her hand in a fist and unfurled her fingers, revealing a shining sliver of crystal.
The Dark Mistress of the Sith levitated the shard up and to the clone. It touched the shell’s skin and vanished into her, sending her into convulsions as it was absorbed. Calaveras stepped back and smiled as the clone stopped shaking and gradually stood still, her dull brown eyes fixated on the floor. “What is thy bidding, Mistress?” she asked.
A low chuckle started from Calaveras’ lips. Within seconds, it blossomed into a full-fledged laugh that went on for several minutes.
The Sith motioned to a set of Sith armor and undergarments. “Get dressed, Darth…” She trailed off as she thought of an appropriate title. Finally, she sneered and bade clone-Jaina to kneel. “I name you Darth Phage.”
Clone-Jaina knelt, then slowly rose, turned and donned the Sith armor. While the clone did that, Calaveras telepathically contacted Darth Autumn, who was still in Otherspace. Sweat dripped from her brow, from both the heat and the sheer exertion necessary to mentally cross dimensions. The clone is ready, daughter. We shall be back in time for Serenity and Jaina’s attack.
On the Charon’s homeworld, Darth Autumn scrunched her brow in confusion. She contacted her ‘mother’ through the Force and responded. How do you know they will attack us?
Calaveras rolled her eyes at that. I killed Tionne and stole Jaina Solo’s DNA, child. They will be coming.
Autumn nodded. Then I shall be prepared for them, Mother. She broke the telepathic link and walked to the armory. She donned onyx-colored armor and clipped two lightsabers to a leather belt while sliding two more into holsters on her arms.
All around the main planet of the Charon, the 3-meter tall arachnids prepared themselves for battle. The Senshi and Jedi would walk in, but they would never leave.
*****
Yavin IV
“You are not coming along. And that is final, Serena Padme Solo!”
Serena stood in the doorway with her arms crossed and a pout on her lips. “Why not? You were traipsing around the galaxy on adventures at an even younger age!”
Jaina turned a withering glare on her daughter. “And I caused my mother no end to her worries. You won’t do that to me.” Serena growled before stomping out of the room. Jaina waited until the door slammed shut before shaking her head and turning to Zekk. The king of Crystal Alderaan had rust-brown plate armor on and a broadsword at the ready. “I’m right,” she said.
Zekk nodded, his expression neutral. “You are, and so is she.”
While he talked, Jaina’s outfit changed from a pair of pants and a white sleeveless shirt to her Eternal Sailor Corellia Fuku. She hefted her lightsaber and motioned to the door. “Everyone’s down in the main lobby.” Her eyes grew hard. “Let’s finish this.”
The two left the room and walked down the hall to a turbolift alcove. Corellia pressed the button and the door opened, allowing them inside. The ride down was silent and, to Corellia at least, was a bit awkward. A minute later, the doors opened and the two soul mates exited.
Zekk’s green eyes noted everyone there had already transformed. Sailors Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Uranus, Neo-Pluto, Saturn, Tatooine, Dathomir, Chiron, Coruscant, Neo-Coruscant, Bastion, Emberlene, Errant Venture, Alderaan, Bespin and Kashyyyk stood in the front while Tuxedos Deyer, Hapes, Titan, Hermes, Deimos, Katarn, Bornaryn, Neo-Uranus and Neo-Bespin stood in back. Serenity had transformed into Eternal Sailor Moon and Endymion was also wearing his armor. All looked to Jaina and Zekk.
“What are we waiting for?” Tahiri asked.
Corellia nodded and clenched her fist in front of her. She then drew upon the Force to project her voice so everyone could hear her. “We shall go out and stop Calaveras, once and for all!”
Everyone shouted at that, then as one turned to Neo-Pluto. The brown-haired Senshi of time motioned to the doors to the outside. “The portal to Otherspace is outside.” Her eyebrow quirked. “Last chance to back out.”
Outside, the time gate stood at the bottom of the stairs. Serena, Zeth, Alac, Aki, Chibi-Usa and Tomo stood in front. All had looks of determination on their faces.
Mars pushed her way down and half-ran to her daughter. “What the hell are you doing?” she half-shouted, eyes wide.
Aki returned her mother’s stare. “We’re going with you.” She held up a lightsaber and a transformation wand. “Mars Power Makeup!” A long tongue of flame shot out from the wand and encircled Aki, burning her clothes and changing them to an older version of the Sailor Fuku. A half-second later, Sailor Neo-Mars stood in front of her mother. “For love and passion, I am Sailor Neo-Mars. In the name of love and the Force, I shall punish those who killed Tionne!”
Mars rubbed the bridge of her nose and placed a hand on her daughter’s shoulders. Everyone present felt her emotions switching from pride and motherly love to dank fear and anger. “I can’t lose you, Aki,” she whispered. She suddenly looked up and shouted. “I CAN’T LOSE YOU!”
Aki’s mouth opened in shock while Serenity walked over to her best friend. The queen gently led Mars away while Corellia, Zekk, Dathomir and Hapes walked up to the kids. “Where’s Stalla and Allana?” Dathomir asked, her mother’s instinct kicking in.
Serena turned and pointed to one of the smaller auxiliary buildings. “She’s with Alema and Numa. She’s okay!”
Hapes half-closed his brown eyes and pinpointed his daughter. “She’s safe,” he assured Dathomir. He then crossed his arms. “This is no joke, Serena. We’re going into war, and we might not come back.”
Zeth cleared his throat. “Begging your pardon, sir, but as Serena said to Jaina, you folks were doing this kind of thing at an even younger age than we are.” He held out his hand, and a bright-green rose appeared in it. “And to be frank, I am eighteen years old.” His clothes morphed from casual to that of a Tuxedo Guardian, complete with a white mask over his eyes and a cape with green lining.
Deyer and Jupiter muscled their way down to their son. “Zeth, you don’t have to do this,” Deyer said. Jupiter nodded rapidly in agreement, her face a mask of fear.
Zeth, now Tuxedo Neo-Deyer, met his father’s eyes. “I am sure, Father. I have always been proud to be your son, and now I wish you to be-”
He was interrupted by Jupiter. “Zeth Toya Durron, you banish that thought from your head right now!” She sighed and adjusted the double-bladed lightsaber hanging from the top of her miniskirt. “Kyp and I have always been and always will be proud of you. Nothing will change that.”
Zeth flashed a rare smile at his mother and father before motioning to the time gate. “Thank you, Mother. And I still wish to fight.”
Serena glanced at her friends before turning to the adults. “We all do.” Her green eyes took in the whole group, but she also focused on Jaina. “We want to fight. We need to fight.”
Corellia held her daughter’s gaze for a few seconds before sighing. “You are your mother’s daughter.” A shaky smile crossed her lips. “And I’d be honored to fight besides you.” Serena, Tomo, Alac and Chibi-Usa held up their transformation wands and shouted to the sky.
“Neo-Corellia Power Makeup!”
“Neo-Saturn Star Power Makeup!”
[Neo-Kashyyyk Planet Power Makeup!]
“Neo-Moon Star Power Makeup!”
Neo-Pluto walked up to the time gate and held out her time staff. The orb mounted at the top glowed for a moment, and the doors creaked open. “We’ll all show up on the main planet at once. Stay together and remember.” She turned and her yellowish eyes turned upwards as she smirked. “Foe may be friend, and no one with two legs is what they seem.”
Mars let out a breath. She was still a bit shaky, but she and Deimos marched over to Neo-Mars. The two stood there for a moment before Mars spoke. “I love you,” she said.
Neo-Mars blinked back tears from her green eyes. “And I love you two as well.” The three hugged each other before entering the time gate…
Mars walked along a road of light, images and sounds flashing just out of range. Before she knew it, her high heels hit solid rock. Her black eyes glanced around and she squeezed in closer to her husband and daughter. “This place feels wrong,” the priestess mumbled.
Aki tugged on her mother’s arm. “Mom…” she said.
Mars pulled her arm away. “Not now, dear.” She looked to the starless sky and shivered. “No sky should be without stars.”
Neo-Mars tugged on her arm again. “Mom, you might wanna take a look.”
The raven-haired priestess looked down-and her blood froze. The group was surrounded by Charon, all armed and all nasty-looking. A large medieval castle loomed in the background with its gate closed and turrets and parapets manned. Mars slowly looked around and swallowed. “We might be a tad outmatched,” she quipped.
A voice reverberated through everyone’s heads. So nice to see the good guys being so predictable!
Sailor Moon looked over at the castle, her face set in stone. “What do you wish us to do, Calaveras?”
Calaveras’ voice laughed, taunting them. Not trying to save me this time, Serenity? Oh, what a shame! Her voice changed from mocking to serious as she continued. Serenity, you and Jaina shall enter my fortress. The rest of you shall wait outside.
Corellia sneered at that. “And if we don’t?”
Then I shall have all 100,000 Charon attack you. And as powerful as you think you are, sheer numbers count for something.
Moon and Corellia exchanged a glance before the two queens marched through an opening forming in the ranks of the Charon. The main doors of the imposing fortress slid into the walls and they walked down a hall to the end, revealing Darth Calaveras sitting on a golden throne.
Two women stood on either side of the Dark Mistress of the Sith. The first, Corellia knew quite well. She had identical brown eyes, brown hair and facial features. Her expression was cold, though. And her skin was pale. In contrast to Corellia’s Sailor Fuku, clone-Jaina wore bulky, onyx-colored armor.
The Senshi of mechanics shook her head. “I hope you don’t think that she can beat me,” she said.
Calaveras sneered and shifted on her gilded throne. “She’s not here to beat you. She’s here to stalemate you.”
Corellia’s eyes narrowed. She probed the clone with the Force and gasped. “My starseed…”
Calaveras leaned forward, her face partially obscured by shadows. “She is you, Jaina Solo.” She motioned to Sailor Moon. “And as for you, odango head, I shall be more than enough to kill you.”
The blond Senshi glanced at the third person. She wore lighter armor than clone-Jaina and had her hazel eyes focused on the dirt. “And what of her, Calaveras? Need some insurance against us?”
The Mistress of the Sith shrugged. “Darth Autumn is insurance against the Senshi and Jedi. Although I don’t think I’ll need her.” Calaveras stood up and unsheathed the Sword of Xendor from the sheath strapped to her back. The ancient blade gleamed from internal light as Calaveras stepped forward. “Now, then. Which of you will die first?”

And I'm feeling like I need an ego boost. What would be a proper compliment to my skill? *Ducks attack from Sailor Jaded_Girl*
*transforming amidst a flashing swirl of computer keys, Sailor Jaded_Girl poses* There are many people in this world who wish they could write super cool fan-fic! How dare you doubt your undeniable talent?! Even if your scores of fans and jealous watchers forgive you, I will not forgive you! In the name of my favorite free-time activities, you're punished!!!
Glowing Praise Barrage!!! *Striker is hit by blinding rays of light!*
Unnecessarily Long Word Inundation!!! *Striker is pelted by festinately moving statements the significance of which is overweeningly obscure!*
Hyper-Excited Update Stampede!!! *Striker is run over by an army of tiny super-deformed Sailor Jaded_Girls who scramble heedlessly over him to get to a computer to check the latest chapter*
“How long will this take?” she asked the air. “It’s been twelve hours already. How long does it take to grow a person?”
Hey, a watched cloning cylindar never... boils.
Whoa. Had a Minako moment, there.
“You are not coming along. And that is final, Serena Padme Solo!”
THAT'S a mouthful. Hee! Her initials are S.P.S.! *raspberries* Spspspspsp!
Sorry. I don't suppose it was really all that funny, but I had a long and draining day at work and I'm hungry. 6_6;;;
...while Tuxedos Deyer, Hapes, Titan, Hermes, Deimos, Katarn, Bornaryn, Neo-Uranus and Neo-Bespin stood in back.
Ummm. Cliffs notes? I don't remember all of those. And Luke's there too, right?
Poor Rei.
[Jupiter] sighed and adjusted the double-bladed lightsaber hanging from the top of her miniskirt and the sakabato strapped to her back.
Um, did Tenel Ka give it back? Or a typo?
“Foe may be friend, and no one with two legs is what they seem.”
And here it is, your daily moment of Zen.
Gah! Boo and hiss, Calaveras! Oh, but what an EVIL cliffie, Striker! Up up up up up!!!

That's ominous. And even worse, it's followed by a magnificent scene that ends in a cliffie!
More?

One of the problems with Darth Calaveras' plan is that she's using Jaina's clone. You can't trust clones(they have a really big habit of turning on you).
100,000 Charon is quite an army there. They're up against...about 40 or so Sailor/Tuxedo Jedi with 1000's of years of experience between them. Although, Calaveras is correct that numbers count for something. Going to be a major battle I'm sure.
Anyways...looking forward to more!!

SSM12-No, not cool. and yes, she needs some comeuppance big-time.
Jaded_Girl. *Striker gets a beatific look on his face and shouts, "Refresh!" Seriously, thanks for that. Yes, a slight Minako moment, but that's cool, since she is to.. *Hands her a plate of food* Eat up!
Deyer-Kyp
Hapes-Jacen
Titan-Anakin
Hermes-Urawa Ryo (Ami's husband)
Deimos-Miko Reglia (Rei's husband)
Katarn-Lowie
Bornaryn-Raynar
Neo-Uranus-Isaac Tenou
Neo-Bespin-John Galladnro
Thanks for the correction. I fixed it.
Idrelle-It's supposed to be creepy, yeah. *Shivers himself* Glad you like the scene and cliffie. Yes, you get more.
baf-Calaveras' plans will fail-but not the way you think. And yes, a major battle.
Announcement:
Spoilers for the LOTF novel Invincible are coming out. I ask that no spoiler be posted, not even hints. I think you all know what my opinion on that series is... but this is not the time nor place for it.
And there's only one-two more posts before the new stuff!
Here we go!
*****
Outside, several Senshi gradually migrated to the outer area of their little group. Saturn, Neo-Saturn, Neo-Pluto, Coruscant and Neptune took up positions along the outer edge, milling about with weapons and talismans at the ready. Messages through the Force bounced back and forth between them.
I think we’re in trouble, Neptune thought. The currents are restless.
Neo-Uranus arched an eyebrow at his ‘aunt’. “Are the currents ever calm, Michiru?”
The Senshi of the sea harrumphed, but stood steady. Every single Jedi’s danger sense suddenly flared, causing Neo-Mars and Mars to clutch their chests. The Charon raised their blaster rifles and spears, but the five at the edge were quicker. Sailor Saturn and her daughter both raised their Glaives to eye level and pointed them straight out. “Silence Wall!” mother and daughter shouted. An energy barrier formed, surrounding the group and protecting them.
Neptune raised her mirror and shouted, “Submarine Reflection!” while Coruscant raised her hands and shouted, “Shield of Hope!”
Finally, Neo-Pluto tapped the ground with her time staff and the garnet orb at the top began glowing. “Dark Dome Close!”
Blood-red blaster bolts and spear tips hit the nigh-impenetrable barrier, but the combined strength of the five Senshi proved most formidable. Tuxedo Bornaryn looked at the crystalline structure and let out a low whistle. “Awesome.” He looked around and then stamped his foot. “So, now what?”
Both Dathomir and Jupiter looked up and spotted a small hole in the top. The two Senshi exchanged a glance before speaking. “We’ll be back,” Jupiter said. And with a Force-assisted leap, she was up and away. I love you, Kyp and Zeth.
Tuxedo Deyer swallowed back tears. “I love you too, Mako.”
A half-second later, Dathomir was airborne as well. Jacen, we shall be together again with Stalla and Allana, she sent to her soul mate.
Tuxedo Hapes nodded as a single tear fell from his right eye. “Damned straight, Tenel Ka.” He watched as the two landed on opposite sides. “Well, what are we waiting for?” he shouted. “Let’s give them some help!” His right hand blurred as he tossed a half-dozen roses at the Charon. They passed through the one-way barrier and managed to kill several of the arachnoids.
Jupiter’s double-bladed lightsaber was ignited before she had even touched down. She slashed from her left shoulder with the lower blade retracting, amputating the limbs off of the Charon in front and gutting one behind her. Her forearms quickly became engulfed in bluish-white lightning as she hacked and slashed. She held out her right arm and cupped her hand, shouting, “Sparkling Wide Pressure!” A ball of concentrated lightning collected there and she slammed it into the ground, blowing back over thirty of the four-limbed creatures and electrocuting them.
Gone was the loving wife and doting mother. Gone was the woman who would bake cookies for Zeth and his friends every Sunday. Gone was the serene Jedi Master who balanced both sides of her personality. In her place was a weapon, a living lightsaber. She blocked an overhead swing from one Charon’s spear while lashing out with her booted foot and breaking the leg of another. She reactivated the dormant blade and slashed from both sides of her midsection, cutting two Charon to ribbons. Jupiter snarled and looked around, her ponytail whipping behind her.
Sailor Dathomir thrust her right leg out and up, catching a Charon unawares and breaking its neck even before she landed. She lowered it back to the ground and backpedaled a bit, parrying three Charon’s spear thrusts simultaneously while her left hand and the Sakabato she held in it became engulfed in bluish flame. “Dathomir Heatwave!” she shouted. A tongue of flame spiraled around the tempered steel before shooting out, hitting the trio and burning them to ash within seconds.
Gone was the loving wife and caring mother. Gone was the woman who taught the young ones self-defense every Sunday before Makoto baked them cookies. Gone was the wise Queen Mother. Like Jupiter, she was now a weapon pointed at the Charon. Dathomir sidestepped a blaster bolt from behind and her left hand twitched, placing the reverse-blade sword in its path and deflecting the bolt back to the Charon and hitting him right in the chest. Sailor Dathomir looked around, her flame-red hair trailing behind her like the tail of a comet.
She and Jupiter locked onto the castle simultaneously. “Jaina! Serenity!” they both cried.
In the protective dome, both Tuxedos Ennth and Mask dropped a rose they were about to throw and clutched their chests. Their skin paled and they looked to the castle as well. Both kings looked at each other, nodded and jumped for the hole in the dome.
Sailors Neo-Corellia and Neo-Moon watched as their fathers exited the group. “We gonna let them have all the fun?” Neo-Moon asked.
Neo-Corellia gripped her lightsaber tightly. “No, we won’t.”
Both Senshi summoned the Force and directed the energy into their legs before jumping. Neo-Moon cleared the small hole and slid down the dome, her pink-colored lightsaber ready in one hand and her tiara in the other.
Neo-Corellia, however, cleared the dome entirely and landed in a small hole in the Charonian horde. “Corellia Starburst!” she shouted, sweeping her arm from side to side even as a wave of reddish energy shot from her outstretched palm.
Neo-Moon, meanwhile tossed her tiara while shouting, “Moon Tiara Action!” The golden-colored tiara spun around rapidly, glowing brightly and cutting a swath through the horde. The two daughters of queens sprinted down the corridor, using their fledgling powers in the Force to increase their speed for a few seconds. That was all they needed as they reached Tuxedos Ennth and Mask at the gates of the castle.
Both men looked back at their daughters, anger temporarily rising to prominence before being replaced by concern. “What are you two doing here?” Ennth demanded.
Neo-Moon stopped short and took in several deep gulps of air. “We’re here to help,” she panted.
Neo-Corellia nodded. “Mom and Aunt Serenity are in trouble. We’ve gotta do something!”
Mask’s blue eyes shifted beneath the his mask. “We can handle this, Serena.”
Neo-Moon suddenly exclaimed. “But our mothers are in trouble! We can’t sit on the sidelines!” Her scarlet eyes suddenly turned to the Charon. “Ah, why aren’t they attacking?”
Neo-Corellia shrugged. “Who knows and who cares?” She raised her right arm at the gate and shouted, “Corellia Starburst!” The resultant energy beam punched a hole in the door, allowing them access to the inner courtyard. The quartet rushed through, relying on the Force and their eyes to guide them to the two most important women in their lives.
*****
“Silver Crystal Saber Attack!”
A blazing beam of energy shot from the emitter of Corellia’s lightsaber and shot towards Calaveras and her group, but Clone-Jaina simply held her right hand up and concentrated. The beam of energy swerved from Calaveras and was sucked into the clone’s outstretched hand. “I control your power, Neo-Queen Jaina,” she dully stated. “In every sense of the word, I am you.”
Moon snarled, her face taking on an extremely rare look of rage. “You are not my friend. Do you hear me?” She raised her Moon Scepter, but before she could say anything, Calaveras leapt at her, Sword swinging. The blond-haired Senshi was forced to bring her Scepter up and parry the initial swing away from her. She backpedaled and smoothly unclipped her lightsaber from her belt, igniting a silvery plasma blade. “You can’t win, Calaveras!” she shouted.
The Dark Mistress sighed and briefly disengaged from the fight. She turned to Darth Autumn. “Go outside and kill her friends.”
Autumn nodded before vanishing in a cloud of cherry blossoms.
The door behind Moon and Corellia suddenly exploded. Tuxedo Ennth, Sailor Neo-Corellia, Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Neo-Moon rushed through. “Leave our mothers alone!” Neo-Moon shouted, posing with her right hand pointing to the floor, leaning forward on her left leg and left hand on hip.
Neo-Corellia sidled up to Neo-Moon, arms crossed in front of her chest. “You have murdered our friend and mentor. For that, there is no forgiveness!” They both shifted stance and pointed at Calaveras and clone-Jaina. “We shall punish you, in the name of justice and the Force!” they both shouted.
Ennth and Mask lined up behind their daughters, an orange-colored rose in the formers hand and a ruby-red rose in the latter’s. “Let our soul mates go,” Tuxedo Mask demanded.
Zekk nodded and added, “There is no room for negotiation here.”
Calaveras rolled her brown eyes and raised her Sword again. “I killed Tionne easily enough. And now, I’ll kill-argh!” A single red rose was embedded in her right bracelet, cracking the Sith alchemy that protected them. Calaveras brushed the rose off and screamed, “Die!” before charging at Moon.
Neo-Moon took her tiara off of her head and tossed it at Calaveras while shouting, “Moon Tiara Action!” The spinning piece of mystical metal hit Calaveras right in her abdomen, slicing through the armor-and the flesh beneath. The Dark Mistress staggered back, left hand clutching the bloody gash in her abdomen while her right drooped down.
Clone-Jaina snarled. “You will not win!” she said, posing a bit.
Neo-Corellia ran over to her mother and stood by her. “Hey, she is kinda like you!”
Corellia turned to her daughter and shook her head. “She can absorb my power,” she said.
Her daughter shrugged. “Well, let’s see how she does against me.” She raised both arms and shouted. “Corellia Hyperspace Vortex!” Twin beams of energy shot from her gloved hands and met, twisting and hitting clone-Jaina head on.
Clone-Jaina raised her arms and erected a shield, but the spiraling energy beam pushed her back. Beads of sweat formed on both Neo-Corellia and clone-Jaina’s brow. After a minute, an orange rose hit the shell’s shield, embedding itself up to the top of the stem and cracking the shield.
Neo-Corellia’s beam strobed over the crack and rose, breaking through and hitting clone-Jaina square in the chest The energy beam gouging out a charred hole in her chest. She staggered back, her eyes turning glassy and a puff of smoke emerged from her mouth.
Corellia concentrated and reached out, scanning clone-Jaina until… “Got it,” she said, smiling. A sliver of crystal emerged from Clone-Jaina’s chest even as she toppled over to the floor. Neo-Corellia tried mightily to hold onto her lunch, grateful that she didn’t have anything rich or spicy.
While clone-Jaina died, Calaveras glanced around and found her options dwindling-fast. She dug the tiara out of her gut, blood flowing and causing her hands to slip several times. Suddenly, the tiara slipped out of her numbing hands and flew back to Neo-Moon,
The Senshi grabbed it and held it out from her. She grimaced a bit. “This never happened before,” she muttered.
Mask threw another rose at Calaveras, petals-first. It hit her in the face, blinding her and causing her to stumble back.
Sailor Moon’s Sailor Fuku morphed, the skirt lengthening and the top becoming strapless. Within seconds, she was once more Neo-Queen Serenity. “Your end is now, Darth Calaveras!”
Corellia underwent a similar transformation, changing to Neo-Queen Jaina. “There shall be no forgiveness for you.”
Calaveras stumbled back, confusion on her face. “No, no! I had everything planned out! Where is my apprentice? Where is Darth Autumn?”
Serenity reached out with the Force and touched Autumn’s mind. She let an enigmatic smile play across her face. “She is with her family.” And with that, her blue eyes narrowed. “Silver Crystal Power Kiss!” she shouted, firing off a stream of energy from her scepter.
Jaina nodded. “It’s time for you to finally go, Calaveras. All you are is a shell, after all. No starseed, no soul.“ And with that, she followed suit with her lightsaber. “Silver Crystal Saber Attack!”
Both beams shot out and hit Calaveras-right in the bracelets. The oily coating over them shattered, revealing the golden metal beneath. A half-second later, they shattered themselves. Calaveras’ face took on a stricken look, and as she sank to the ground, her body fading into oblivion.
Neo-Corellia squealed with joy and hugged both her mother and father. “We did it! We won!”
Serenity gazed upon the spot where Calaveras died. “No, Serena. If we won, we could’ve saved Calaveras long ago,” she said sadly.
Ennth snorted at that. “I doubt it, Serenity. She had no soul to begin with and was created to be a weapon by Galaxia.”
His old friend Tuxedo Mask nodded in agreement with him. Suddenly, the building shook.
Neo-Corellia broke the embrace and looked up. “I’ve got a bad feeling,” she whispered. Her feeling was confirmed when the entire planet began shaking!
“Let’s get out of here!” Neo-Moon yelled, turning and making a run for the exit. Serenity, Mask, Ennth, Jaina and Neo-Corellia trailed behind.
*****
Ten minutes earlier
Darth Autumn materialized in front of the castle and saw the fields littered with Charon corpses. She let her head droop and sighed. “they’re useless…” she muttered. She unclipped a lightsaber and activated it, sending forth a sapphire-colored blade. Calaveras had berated her when she chose not to build one with a traditional scarlet-colored blade, but she liked blue better.
She noted the shield protecting the majority of the Senshi and Jedi and that those inside were killing Charon outside with impunity. Onyx lightning shot out from Sailor Alderaan’s hands and incinerated a group of Charon while Sailor Bastion was firing off Imperial Starbursts at another group. The spheres of energy exploded halfway to the target, showering the area with yellowish energy beams and killing Charon by the dozens.
Two Senshi were even outside the shield and had carved an impressive swath through the horde. Sailors Jupiter and Dathomir both had left a trail of dead and had met up near the castle. Alone, each one was tough. Together, they were unstoppable-at least until they faced off with Darth Autumn.
She readied her blade and approached the pair. “Leave us,” she said to the Charon. “They are mine.” Those still alive and mobile turned their multi-faceted eyes to Autumn before bowing their shaggy heads and ambling off.
Jupiter readied her double-bladed lightsaber, holding it at the ready. “You’re no match for us,” she said.
Dathomir nodded. “That is a fact,” she stated. Her lightsaber and sakabato were at the ready.
In the dome, Mars and Deimos looked over and saw Darth Autumn. Mars’ black eyes went wide, and she sent out a light probe through the Force to the Sith Lord. “It can’t be,” she murmured.
Deimos placed a comforting arm on his wife’s shoulder. “I think she is, Rei.” He looked up and shouted, “What is your name?”
Darth Autumn turned to him, her head cocking slightly to the left. “My name? What does it matter?”
Neo-Mars glanced at her parents and her eyebrows furrowed in confusion. She reached out and felt… something. There was a connection between her and this Darth Autumn. It was impossible to describe, but it was there. “I’ll be back,“ she said, her legs tensing.
Deimos cried out, “Aki, wait!” but it was too late. Neo-Mars drew upon the Force and leapt through the hole at the top of the dome. She slid down the smooth surface, landing a few meters from Autumn. She unclipped her lightsaber and ignited it, sending forth an orange blade. The surrounding Charon moved back, sensing a great struggle about to take place.
Autumn walked up to Neo-Mars. “I know you…” She looked over at Mars and Deimos, still in the dome. “I know you too.”
Mars nodded, tears stinging her eyes.
Autumn turned back to Neo-Mars and thrust her blade at the Senshi’s midsection, but the brown-haired Senshi parried the blade away, dancing back a bit. “What’s your name?” she shouted. “Why do I feel this connection with you?” Neo-Mars backpedaled a bit more, parrying several thrusts away but unable to go on the offense. “Talk to me!”
Autumn’s brow furrowed as an actual emotion took over; anger. She snarled and swung her blade overhead. Neo-Mars rolled out of the way and brought her orange blade up, thrusting it at Autumn’s chest. The plasma blade skittered along her Sith armor, gouging out a trough in the onyx-colored armor. Autumn’s hazel eyes bugged out at the damage to her armor. “Why you-” She swung wildly at Neo-Mars, but the Senshi blocked them each.
Behind the dome, Mars shouted, “No, Sarah! Don’t do this!” Her breath caught in her throat as Neo-Mars finally tripped and fell flat on her back. Autumn brought her lightsaber up, a wild look in her eyes. Finally, she brought the blade down… “No, DON’T!”
Neo-Mars shut her green eyes and waited for oblivion… and kept right on waiting. She dared to open her left one a sliver and saw Darth Autumn’s lightsaber blade right next to her head, impaling the dirt. Her breath came in ragged gasps as her eyes tracked up to Darth Autumn above her.
Autumn’s gaze wasn’t on the Senshi, however. Instead, her eyes were on Mars and Deimos. “How-how do you know my name?” she gasped out.
Tears streamed from Mar’s eyes. “You’re my daughter! You are Sarah Reglia, Aki’s older sister!”
Autumn-Sarah withdrew the lightsaber and backed up a bit. “What? No! Calaveras is my mother! She raised me!”
A small hole opened in the dome, large enough for Mars and Deimos to walk out. For some reason, no Charon attacked as they walked up to her. “You are the oldest of the next generation of our families. But Calaveras attacked the Jedi Academy when you were but a week old.” She hugged herself as the memories overtook her.
Deimos continued for his wife. “There was an explosion in your room, and Calaveras leapt out of it shouting that you were no more. Oh, Force! We were fools!” he buried his face in his hands as tears streamed down.
Autumn’s face took on a look of shock and fear. She chewed her lip and looked at Mars and Deimos. “It’s-it’s not true…” Although deep down …she felt it to be true. She suddenly felt faint and her knees gave out on her. Before she hit the dirt, she felt three pairs of hands on her shoulders.
“You got her?” Neo-Mars asked.
Mars nodded as she and Deimos took her by the arms. “She’s all right.”
The Charon suddenly snapped to attention. “They attack Darth Autumn! Kill them!” one shouted, his spear snapping up. One second later, a glowing disc decapitated him. And about that time, earthquakes started. Rifts in the ground opened up, swallowing several hundred Charon in an eye blink.
From the gate of the castle Serenity and Jaina aimed their scepter and lightsaber, respectively and shouted. “Silver Crystal power Kiss!” “Silver Crystal Saber Attack!” Twin beams of silvery energy shot from the queens, hit the remainder of the Charon horde and vaporized all but the ones on the extreme edge of the fight.
Jaina then twirled her lightsaber around on her fingers before clipping the ornate rod to a sash on her dress. “Damn, we’re good.”
Jupiter glanced over at her. “And you couldn’t have done that first?”
Jaina shrugged. “My soul was incomplete, Makoto. I’m sorry.”
Serenity nodded. “And if we did, we might not have had enough energy to fight Calaveras and her friends.” She blushed and looked to the trembling ground. “I am… sorry.”
Dathomir let out a breath. “We forgive you, Jaina and Serenity.” She planted her feet farther apart for a better base. “What is going on?” she shouted over the increasing din.
Mercury tugged on her earring, causing crystalline visor to cover her blue eyes. She looked around, scanning the planet and space. “Oh, my!” she cried out, pointing to the sky. “The nearby black hole has increased in density by 10,000 % and is drawing the planet in!”
Calaveras’ voice suddenly echoed through everyone’s minds. Fools! If I die, all die!
The protective dome surrounding everyone dropped and Neo-Pluto tapped the ground with her staff. “Everyone into the time gate, now!” The onyx door appeared and everyone dashed for it.
Jaina, Ennth, Neo-Corellia, Serenity, Mask and Neo-Moon dashed to the gateway, but Neo-Moon stumbled on a crack in the ground and went down. “Ow!” she yelled, clutching her knee.
Serenity turned to her daughter. “Chibi-Usa!” she screamed.
Chibi-Usa tried getting to her feet, but her knee gave out. Suddenly, four pairs of translucent hands grabbed her and carried her over to Serenity. She glanced at the figures with her scarlet eyes and gasped in shock. “Setsuna! Tionne! Kam! Chewie!” she cried out.
The translucent Force ghosts looked down at her and smiled. “Be careful next time,” Tionne said. “We might not be here to help.”
Kam nodded. “We shall see you again, but not for a while. Stay safe in the meantime,” the grizzled-looking ghost said.
“You have done well, Sannah,” Setsuna said. “Just don’t be too cryptic.”
[You have done well, Lowbacca!] Chewie yelled, shaking her arms. [And Honor Brother… you did the right thing]
Aldera nodded solemnly at his oldest friend, wiping his eyes.
The ghosts deposited her in Tuxedo Mask’s arms before fading from sight. Mask and Serenity stared at the spot where Tionne, Kam, Chewie and Setsuna stood before Endymion looked around. “We’ve must go.”
The royal family rushed through the gate mere seconds before the entire planet was ripped asunder by the gravitational forces of the black hole. Within seconds, the rubble spiraled into infinity at the center of the hole.

*beams at praise* *munches on the yummy food*
Arigatou gozaimasu for the Cliff Notes! Very very appreciated! *bows*
And no worries about the "Invincible" spoilers from me. I don't know what in the Nine Corellian Hells is going on now.
Sailor Saturn and her daughter both raised their Glaives to eye level and pointed them straight out. “Silence Wall!” mother and daughter shouted. An energy barrier formed, surrounding the group and protecting them.
Whoa. Two of them... Geez Louise, that'd be enough to hold the Charon off for three weeks!
*continues reading* Whoa! Double whoa! Verily, that be one mighty shield!
Tuxedo Hapes nodded as a single tear fell from his right eye. “Damned straight, Tenel Ka.”
*squirms* Too... cute... to... handle!
Gone was the loving wife and doting mother. Gone was the woman who would bake cookies for Zeth and his friends every Sunday. Gone was the serene Jedi Master who balanced both sides of her personality. In her place was a weapon, a living lightsaber. She blocked an overhead swing from one Charon’s spear while lashing out with her booted foot and breaking the leg of another. She reactivated the dormant blade and slashed from both sides of her midsection, cutting two Charon to ribbons. Jupiter snarled and looked around, her ponytail whipping behind her.
I just want to tell you that I love this paragraph. It is perfect. I would't even dot an "i" differently. Kuuuuuudos.
*continues reading* *again* And ditto for the Tenel Ka paragraph!
~Both Senshi summoned the Force and directed the energy into their legs before jumping. Neo-Moon cleared the small hole and slid down the dome, her pink-colored lightsaber ready in one hand and her tiara in the other.
~Neo-Corellia, however, cleared the dome entirely and landed in a small hole in the Charonian horde. “Corellia Starburst!” she shouted, sweeping her arm from side to side even as a wave of reddish energy shot from her outstretched palm.
Oh my gosh, I absolutely LOVE them doing their respective mom's attacks! Especially Chibi-Moon and the tiara! Ahh! *_*
Moon snarled, her face taking on an extremely rare look of rage. “You are not my friend. Do you hear me?”
*tries unsucessfully to repress a breath of laughter* You know, it's kinda funny how scary that is. It's like the most damning thing Usa-chan could ever say!
Autumn nodded before vanishing in a cloud of cherry blossoms.
Hey! That's Zoicite's trick! Copycat!!!
Neo-Corellia’s beam strobed over the crack and rose, breaking through and hitting clone-Jaina square in the chest The energy beam gouging out a charred hole in her chest. She staggered back, her eyes turning glassy and a puff of smoke emerged from her mouth.
Wow... she, like, totally kinda killed her mom. Wonder if she'll have to go to counseling. (Kidding, kidding.)
Serenity reached out with the Force and touched Autumn’s mind. She let an enigmatic smile play across her face. “She is with her family.”
Ohhhh yeeeeah... I remember now! Awesome. Actually, sorta kinda remembered at the cherry blossoms! ^_^
Behind the dome, Mars shouted, “No, Sarah! Don’t do this!” Her breath caught in her throat as Neo-Mars finally tripped and fell flat on her back. Autumn brought her lightsaber up, a wild look in her eyes. Finally, she brought the blade down… “No, DON’T!”
Striker-kun, that is a very, VERY powerful moment. Well timed and well executed. Bravo.
Twin beams of silvery energy shot from the queens, hit the remainder of the Charon horde and vaporized all but the ones on the extreme edge of the fight.
o_O Whoa. It's like the SM-R movie. Usagi's beam just, like, sweeps away the... yeah. Awesome.
Awww, we got a little mini-reunion! Thanks for helping Chibi-Usa, everybody!
Ding, dong, Calaveras' dead! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy!!!!!!!
Up! Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease!

Ding Dong the Witch is Dead! Ok, just had to get that out of my system. You can probably tell that I don't like Calaveras much.
This post was definitely epic with it's fights. And Autumn reuniting with her family...I just love scenes like those. Loved ones return after so long. And that was wonderful with the force ghosts too.
Looking forward to next time!!

Wow. That was one epic battle, wasn't it? Had me on the edge of my seat the entire time...
Ding Dong the Witch is Dead!
The Wicked Witch, the Wicked Witch
Ding Dong, the Wicked Witch is Dead!
And now I shall not go and sing "No One Mourns the Wicked" from Wicked, then I might start feeling sorry for Calaveras. Not.
Excellent chapter, Jon!

I sense a theme in this post...
SSM12-lol, yeah. She's dead. Permanently, totally dead.
Taeniaea-Thanks. And yeah, she's Rei's older daughter.
Jaded_Girl-Glad you like the food and praise. And the warning's for everyone. Yes, Thor. One powerful shield. Yes, Jacen is cute. I'm glad you like the two paragraphs about Makoto and Tenel Ka. I loved having the daughters doing the attacks. Made it... special. Yeah, if you're not Usagi's friend... you're screwed. Glad you liked that moment with the Reglia's. Yes, the Witch is dead.
baf-lol, I don't think anyone liked her. Although was it good-hate or bad-hate? And glad you liked the reunions, too.
Idrelle-Glad you like the fight. And go ahead and sing it. I doubt anyone could feel sorry for her.
Happy mother's day to all the mothers out there.
Here we go!

Chapter Five: Family Reunited
Yavin IV
Sarah Reglia’s eyes slowly opened. She bolted upright and looked around. “Where am I? What is this place?” She was in a white room and was laying on a couch. She held her hands up and looked at them, her gaze quickly traveling to her arms and then her entire body. Sarah’s Sith armor had been replaced by a white, knee-length dress and matching blouse. It felt soft and nice…
“Mom, she’s awake!”
Sarah gasped and turned her head to find the source of the voice, dirty-blond hair trailing behind her head. She saw Aki standing there in the doorway, soon to be joined by Rei and Miko.
“Hello, Sarah,” Rei tentatively said.
Miko waved at his eldest daughter. “Are you all right?”
Sarah glanced down at the floor. “I… think so.” She looked back up, confusion in her eyes. “What am I doing here? Shouldn’t I be in prison?”
Rei shrugged and slowly moved to the couch. “Serenity and Jaina pardoned you for any crimes you may have committed, although I’m fairly certain you didn’t do anything wrong.” She knelt down next to Sarah and brushed a lock of hair from her eyes. “Your eye color’s changed. It used to be black.”
Sarah’s eyes darted about a bit. She kept from meeting Rei’s gaze as she responded. “Really?”
The Senshi of fire nodded. “Yes.”
Miko walked over and sat next to Sarah, followed by Aki, who stood off next to Rei. “We’ve missed you,” Miko said.
Aki suddenly spoke up. “Say, why didn’t you tell anyone about her?”
Miko scowled, but Rei waved him off. “It’s all right, Miko. She deserves to an answer.” She took several calming breaths and steadied herself in the Force before replying. “You were the first of the ‘new generation‘, Sarah. The first child to be born among our little group since Lyria, but she doesn’t really count since she’s over a thousand years old like the rest of us.” Rei paused and gather her thoughts before continuing, dredging up the old memories. “Anyway, after Calaveras’ attack, I sort of went into a bit of shock.”
Miko picked up. “Neither one of us could face reality with our baby gone. We eventually regained my senses. But by then, it seemed as we had moved on. And then Zeth and Serena had been born.”
Aki pointed to the window. “Is that why I see you two out by the memorial sometimes?”
Miko nodded, his gray eyes wet with tears. “I guess we should’ve told you about Sarah, Aki, but it just seemed too awkward and painful for us.”
Aki shrugged at that. “Well, yeah. But they say hindsight’s 20/20, right?” She paused for a moment and her head tilted slightly. “What does that mean, anyway?” she mumbled before looking down at Sarah. “So, as shocked about this as I am?”
Sarah’s shoulders moved a bit. “Possibly a little more.” She looked up at her younger sister and said, with a bit of contriteness, “I am sorry for fighting you back in Otherspace.”
Aki waved her off. “Hey, sisters need to fight every once in a while. And in our family, that was nothing.” Sarah cracked a smile for the first time at that, prompting Aki to return it.
Rei flashed her younger daughter her own smile and sent her a message through the Force. Thank you, Aki.
The newest Senshi of the flame smirked. Hey, no problem. And it’s pretty cool to have an older sister. But is she now Neo-Mars, or am I still Neo-Mars?
Sarah piped up. “Oh, you can keep the Fuku. Besides, it’s probably a pain to fight in high heels.”
Miko arched an eyebrow at her. “Sarah, it’s impolite to eavesdrop on other people’s conversations like that.”
Sarah’s mouth opened slightly. “Oh, really?” At her father’s nod, she turned to Aki and Rei and bowed her head. “I’m sorry for that. I didn’t-argh!”
Aki abruptly grabbed Sarah’s hand and pulled her to her feet. “It’s all right, Sarah! You make mistakes, and you learn from them. It’s called… Hey, Mom. What’s that called again?”
Rei looked up at her two daughters, her black eyes narrowing. “It’s called growing up, Aki.”
Aki snapped her fingers and nodded. “Yeah, that’s what it is. Thanks.”
Rei sighed and rubbed her forehead. “Well, I think we should all have dinner up here in our quarters.”
Miko nodded. “Good idea, honey.” He rose and left the room. “I’ll make my specialty; nerf steaks with a side of scalloped potatoes.” He walked off, followed by Rei.
Aki turned to her sister, put her hands in her pockets and shuffled her feet. “Wanna see my room?” she asked.
Sarah thought it over for a full half-second before responding. “I’d love to, sis.”

Jaina walked down the stairs, her feet making no sound on the carpeted steps. She reached the bottom and saw Serena sitting at the kitchen table, spoon in hand and bowl of chocolate ice cream in front.
The young woman took a spoonful of the confection, raised it up to her mouth and ate it, savoring it each time she brought the spoon up. “Want to join me?” she asked her mother.
Jaina nodded and walked over to the table, pulling up a chair with the Force. “If you insist.” The freezer door popped open and a carton of chocolate ice cream floated over to Jaina, who began eating it with a spoon she levitated over to her hand. “Oh, this is good,” she said. “So, what’s on your mind?”
The younger Solo took another bite of ice cream before speaking. “I’m just thinking about Tionne, Mom. I miss her.” Her voice was small as she spoke, growing softer with each word. “I wanna see her again so badly.”
Jaina’s mouth turned upward in a smile tinged with sadness. “I miss her too, honey. But I know she’s in a better place with her family.” She scooted her chair closer to Serena. “What else is bothering you, Serena?”
The high school student hesitated. “I guess it’s just the past few days, you know? Tionne’s killed. We go and beat Calaveras-” She paused. “Ah, Calaveras is dead, right?” Jaina nodded and Serena continued. “Well, it’s still kriffin-’”
Jaina interrupted her. “Don’t use that language, young lady!”
Serena’s green eyes rolled. “Yes, Mother.” She took a deep breath and finished off the ice cream in her dish before continuing. “And when Aunt Rei and Uncle Miko found Sarah, that was amazing!” She stopped talking, and then looked down at her bowl. “And… I had a nightmare, Mom. I dreamt that you and Dad were in trouble, and I couldn’t help you at all. I ran to you, but I never caught up.”
Jaina’s arm snaked out and she took Serena’s trembling hand in hers. “It’s all right, honey. It was just a dream.”
Serena arched an eyebrow at her mother. “Mom, I’m Force sensitive.”
Jaina nodded. “But you’re not fully trained, yet.”
Serena thought about that, then stood up and brought her dish over to the dishwasher. “I hope so.” She sat back down, but shifted under her mother’s stare. “What?” she finally asked.
Jaina let a small smile drift across her face. “There’s something else, buried down a bit. But it’s there.”
Serena sighed and cast her eye | |
