PM me when Legacy of the Sith: Lands of the Dead is up.

corran: Interesting set of planets, including an obscure planet dating back to the Thrawn Trilogy(Sluis Van).

Yeah, never really thought it would be one to show up in the series, but it's got a small part in this one.

The cover art looks fraktastic!

It's all Maggy's doing. She's a cover wizard cool

One more week.

Much less now... grin





Maggy: Yobs couldn't you have wait till the lightsaber was done with the color of the last cover

I'm just showing it off a bit tongue Not bad for a few hours work as is!

no, seriously, working on it is fun I started after lunch and suddenly it was suppertime
glad you like it already


It's great. I'm sure the finished product will be even better grin






Wedge: Sweeeeet. I look foward to using it.
And hope it's worthy of the anticipation...


Me too. The pressure's on now! tongue

Yeah, 'wow' as in not *shakes head*

Yeah... plain

I'm going to be somewhat cryptic and say: That happens a lot... And yeah, someone got shot in the last episode. Wont say who or why obviously...

Thanks tongue I am really going to try and get into this show this summer.

I'd have to check, but I think this Friday's BSG is the last in the first 10 of this season. And I still don't know when the second half is starting. Reeeeealy hope it isn't '09.

Get pushed back cause of the writer's strike?

Well, it'll tell us where all the action is to take place. Other than that, probably not much.

Yeah, nothing you didn't already know. Vjun and Korriban are probably the most provocative planets and those had already been shown several times.

Coruscant...where have I heard of that planet before.

Been a long time.

Interesting choices...

whistling

Is it wierd that the name 'Exocron' made me think of 'Otacon'?

A little tongue

Exocron was the planet Karrde visited Jorj Car'das on back in VotF, in case people don't recognize it...

I'm assumeing it's 'Unnamed' for us the readers and not the Raithians.

I sure hope so. That would be pretty weird tongue

Well, after consulting my Anonymous Sources and making a deduction on my own part...the song "Planet Telex" from the rock band Radiohead

Very good, Wedge [face_applause 25 Cool Points™ to you for that cool


Cool.
Looks good Maggy. Can't wait to see the finished product.


Ditto tongue





GrandMasterKatarn: I noticed from you trailer that you never mentioned Kyle.

Kyle will be in the story and you'll actually see him early kicking some ass. Though, like the other fics, his role is somewhat limited. He comes in, is a total badass, and lets the other characters handle the light work tongue

PM me when Legacy of the Sith: Lands of the Dead is up.

Will do grin Thanks for the interest!

YK:Me too. The pressure's on now!

And here you thought all the pressure was on you. silly


Get pushed back cause of the writer's strike?

Don't think it was affected at all by it. As far as I can tell if there is a year wait between the 1st group of episodes and the 2nd group, it's because of the 'brilliant' people at NBC/SciFi.


Exocron was the planet Karrde visited Jorj Car'das on back in VotF, in case people don't recognize it...

Been a while since I read that. Might explain why I didn't recognize it. thinking



Very good, Wedge [face_applause 25 Cool Points™ to you for that

Kyle will be in the story and you'll actually see him early kicking some ass. Though, like the other fics, his role is somewhat limited. He comes in, is a total badass, and lets the other characters handle the light work

laugh Yeah, if Kyle was depicted at His true potential, this saga would already be over. tongue


corran2:Wedge, I know for a fact that there will be at least two more episodes of BSG before the break.

D'oh! doh! Thanks for that.

It's close though!

it should be LOL
it would be just aweful would it get worse


We'll just go with the earlier version tongue But I'm certain that will not be the case!

do I manage to read the other fic in three days?!

Probably not tongue I don't think I could.

you do images yourself?!

Well, I can crop an image and add text. That is the extent of my photoshopping abilities, I'm afraid silly







corran: **** dancing








JediKyle23: Oh, my God! It took my about a week and a half, but I finally caught up with the story! So in depth, and LONG!! Geez! I am in complete awe at your ability to write some of the best stories I've read. Congratulations.

Wow, thanks so much blush That's very nice of you to say. I'm glad you enjoyed the series so much and thank you for taking the time to wade through it all.

It's nice to meet you happy Hope to see you around in the "Lands of the Dead" thread coming tomorrow.

Thanks for reading and replying grin






Wedge: And here you thought all the pressure was on you.

Yep, it's you now. You better come up with some great .gifs and images for this fic shock

Don't think it was affected at all by it. As far as I can tell if there is a year wait between the 1st group of episodes and the 2nd group, it's because of the 'brilliant' people at NBC/SciFi.

Ahh.

" dancing "

I'm a huge Radiohead fan and I needed a planet name. Seemed like an obvious choice tongue

Yeah, if Kyle was depicted at His true potential, this saga would already be over.

Yeah, Kyle's great, but he totally kills suspense... like he kills everything else!




Okay, tomorrow "The Lands of the Dead" will begin, the third of four stories for the Legacy of the Sith series. I hope you guys like it.

As for what you can expect from the first post, I'll say that if I gave you each 100 guesses, I don't think you'd be able to guess what's going to happen. Not saying it's good, just that I think you'll all be surprised tongue

Thanks again to everyone who took the time to read Exodus hugs

Yeah, Anakin is slipping and it seems to be what Malig wants.

Yes, it seems to me, it till now is not assured in Jacen - and nevertheless Anakin more âñåç is similar to the grandfather, Anakin Skywalker. But nevertheless it seems to me, to it not It will be possible to force it to obey to it. Jacen has got on its fishing tackle because of ñâîåöé thirst of knowledge of Force and insult on the Hatch. And Anakin more... Rigid, whether that...

Well, it says that everything made sense to Jacen after Malig took off his mask, whatever that means...

Yes, can be... But nevertheless it seems to me, that this certificate has wider sense.... We Shall see devil

I understand - the Dark Nest also has left the extremely unpleasant impressions (well except for, maybe, only Jacen).

There's no love triangle really. Jysella is only 14 in this story, so there's no way there would be any kind of relationship between her and Anakin. But she does have a crush on him, and obviously it helped accelerate the catastrophe with Tahiri

Yes, but in fact Tahiri when at it attitudes with Anakin were fastened, too was 14. But nevertheless meant just its feelings - and what exactly because of them the naive girl has believed in words of the Jedi's enemy. That as a result also has led to that it has handed over Tahiri of Faybol.

Heh, no worse than the reference to this one TV show in Invincible. wink


Yeah, Kyle's great, but he totally kills suspense... like he kills everything else!

Yes, remember the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark? That's what would happen to Faybol, Rodan, Malig, and the Raithians if they were in the same room as Kyle at His full potential. skull

zonzo: Well, only one more day to go.

And now zero days to go dancing

I sense awesomeness of epic proportions in the very near future.

I appreciate your confidence in the story peace Hope it won't disappoint you.






Caedus: The one Friday that I'm away and thats the day that you start on the Lands of the Dead.

Aww, sorry.

But I'm still exited and will be longing to get home (I'm having to spend time with relatives this weekend, not always fun)

Well, I hope it is fun peace And hope you like the fic when you get back grin






BellumSolo: Yes, it seems to me, it till now is not assured in Jacen - and nevertheless Anakin more âñåç is similar to the grandfather, Anakin Skywalker.

In some ways, that's true. Anakin Solo shares a lot of Han and Luke's traits though too.

But nevertheless it seems to me, to it not It will be possible to force it to obey to it. Jacen has got on its fishing tackle because of ñâîåöé thirst of knowledge of Force and insult on the Hatch. And Anakin more... Rigid, whether that...

Yeah, that's a good point. I think Jacen's need to know is his downfall, and Anakin's beliefs are quite rigid.

Yes, can be... But nevertheless it seems to me, that this certificate has wider sense.... We Shall see

Eventually wink

I understand - the Dark Nest also has left the extremely unpleasant impressions (well except for, maybe, only Jacen).

Yeah, but Dark Nest is not a part of the continuity of this story. This is an AU that takes off from Force Heretic: Reunion, so Dark Nest never happened here.

Yes, but in fact Tahiri when at it attitudes with Anakin were fastened, too was 14.

True, but Anakin was just 16. Nothing wrong with that really tongue

But nevertheless meant just its feelings - and what exactly because of them the naive girl has believed in words of the Jedi's enemy. That as a result also has led to that it has handed over Tahiri of Faybol.

Yeah, Jysella was foolish sad And now Tahiri is going to suffer.

Ur, I again shall see my favourite Coruscant!!! More precisely, that with it became...

Yeah, been a long time.

Corriban - Jacen's vision will be embodied in reality, and Anakin will visit ruins ancient Sith temples.

Good guess wink

Hapes - means, we shall see Tenel Ka and is possible its child.

Could be whistling

Vjun - that mysterious "chiss". Fine...

Yep mischief

Unnamed Raithian Homeworld... We shall look, where they lived. Likely, any uncomfortable enough planet.

It might surprise you wink





Wedge: I'll have to search the Interwebs for more. *Preps Gunship*

*Prepares .gif reviews*

Heh, no worse than the reference to this one TV show in Invincible.

Yeah, lol!

Yes, remember the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark? That's what would happen to Faybol, Rodan, Malig, and the Raithians if they were in the same room as Kyle at His full potential.

So the Ark of the Covenant was just filled with Kyle?! shock shock shock






corran: Hopefully this story will help with the withdrwal pains from the LOST finale!

I'm still in the, "I need to watch that again" phase hypnotized But the prospect of waiting 8 months for more... Not good worried

Hope the post works for you mischief





Telanna: *hits refresh again, waiting for word*
*tries to be patient*

I love your enthusiasm hugs Should be up in a couple hours. Putting the finishing touches on some things whistling

It's close though!

shhh

We'll just go with the earlier version tongue But I'm certain that will not be the case!

We do that already silly

Probably not tongue I don't think I could.

No? how about one evening? tongue

Well, I can crop an image and add text. That is the extent of my photoshopping abilities, I'm afraid silly

You are doing just fine grin



DarthBellumSolo:

You a miracle!! Anakin simply charm also it is madly similar to the grandfather that can please me.. With impatience I wait for the whole creation.

blush glad you like this one already
Hope you are satisfied with the cover coming up in a few grin






to the fic - finally tongue

Chapter 38: The Battle of Heroes

"What are you doing here?"

laugh so he is not happy to see her? tongue

"For finally seizing your destiny, of course. For choosing and acting. For becoming the Gardener."

silly right moment tongue

"Perhaps I did not want your wife to sense me. I am very skilled at making myself small, if you recall."

Like a tick? At least she seems right now just being loved to be sticking around wink

"... You're not an illusion are you?"

she already said that tongue

"I'm here to congratulate you, Jacen, on becoming the Gardener."

And that too wink grin



Jacen shook his head slightly, averting Luke's gaze as he continued to inspect the communication's center. "Nothing they didn't heal."

By now Luke should suspect something … worried

"I'm here to take you in, Uncle Luke."

Big shock moment for Luke



"Don't do this, Jacen."

He did already

He would catch his uncle, and then he would finish this.

Uhh… worried



Luke cringed. Regardless of the mistakes he'd made, the fractured pieces of Malig's manipulations were beginning to fall in place. Suddenly, Luke understood why the Dark Lord had stunned him, allowed him to escape from his prison cell, find his lightsaber, and sneak out into Denon's streets. He wasn't trying to kill him in an escape— Darth Malig was trying to force him into a fight with his nephew. It had all been a setup...

Well, now it is too late worried

"I won't fight you, Jacen."

“I will not fight you, father.” – Luke has his principles, hasn’t he?



Jacen allowed himself to hate. He allowed himself to be angry and fearful.

Jacen allowed himself to be
human.

"This is the end, Uncle Luke."


That sounds bad worried



"Jacen... Your eyes..."

I remembered this correctly then grin dancing tongue

Luke Skywalker had seen a pair of eyes like the yellowed, reptilian orbs glaring down at him, but it had been many years ago, staring at him from beneath a dark cowl on the Second Death Star.

Seems like as would it have been in another life time, no?



Chapter 39: The Rapture

"Just keep it down, everyone. I need to concentrate." The edge to Jaina's voice made Wrev wonder if she was really that irritated by the Squibs, or if she was still upset over the Wookiee. He hadn't liked leaving Lowbacca behind, but it was better than them all being consumed by the enemy hoards on Ossus.

Somehow my memory tells me that we will find Lowbacca in the hands of the Raithians again thinking

"What do you think we are?" Sligh demanded. "Amateurs? We would never betray our business partners. But we have contacts on the Rapture. If you let me do the talking, doll, I can get us the VIP treatment we deserve."

Now they are business partners?! … just earlier they have been property laugh

"How gracious of you to give me permission to fly our own ship," the little being said indignantly, standing with arms akimbo on the deck. "I can't believe how rude you're being."

Awesome how friendly they are to each other wink



Jaina was just tired of everything. She felt emotionally spent after losing Lowbacca, and what was worse, she could feel that something terrible had happened to her brothers. Jacen was far away, and something traumatic had happened to him— but he was purposely shielding her out, cutting off his connection from her. And that worried her more than anything.

Must be really hard on her to “lose” connection to her twin worried

"Funny the way things work out, isn't it?" Jag asked with a hint of a smile, grabbing a jacket from his newly retrieved pile of clothes and beginning to pull it on. "You gave away my possessions, tried to leave me with nothing, and now, I have all of my things, and you have none of yours."

laugh cry laugh



"Greeting, Miss—"

"I do not have time for your trivialities," Aero Gin seethed through the plastoid processing filter that covered her mouth and nose, shoving past the Rapture's administrator as she exited the Raithian shuttle's landing ramp with the detachment of soldiers on her heels.


laugh

Was he lying? Aero couldn't tell. The Falleen were natural liars, their pheromones effective at convincing the opposite sex that every sweet thing that came from their mouths was true. She would have to keep an eye on him.

Something she can’t do?! shock


tongue



Chapter 40: Recovery

Lying deathly still in a bunk and wrapped in white patient robes was their youngest son Anakin, his skin pale and right arm heavily bandaged. His caretakers had washed all traces of blood from him, of the violence that had led him here, but Leia could see the stains on the hands of the woman seated beside him and glistening in a crust on her black combat suit.

That sounds bad worried

Leia could hardly believe what she was hearing. It was such an elaborate and cruel trick— why would Callista do such a thing?

Does she still believe in the good in her?! shock

***

"Afraid not." Spek's blue lips formed a wan smile. "Unless we're both having the same dreams these days."

Very unlikely tongue

The young woman just laughed. "You worry too much, Qixy."

He better with Aero



Chapter 41: Rebirth

"Several Masters and Knights perished in the attack, Jacen. More were injured. More still were captured by the Alliance and are being brought here as prisoners. It is unfortunate that it has come to that, but there is nothing that can change what has happened."

"You don't even care!" Jacen yelled, his bruised and bloodied hands forming fists that split the scabs on his busted knuckles.


Who said he does?

The Dark Lord only stared at him for a long moment, as if smiling in the face of the young man's anger. "If that were true, Jacen, why would I have two injured Jedi in my medical cavern waiting to be healed?"

"What?"

"Your friends Lowbacca and Raynar Thul. You can feel them can't you?"


silly they might be useful later on tongue

"I want you to join me, Jacen. I want you to fulfill your destiny, to help me fulfill our destiny. You must become my apprentice."

thinking Sounds a bit after Vader …

"He saved our lives, Jacen," Callista spoke for the first time, stepping forward and laying a hand on his shoulder. "I for one, believe him. What would he have to gain by lying to us?"

And she does believe into herself?! silly

The dark-eyed man considered the question for a moment. "Yes, of course."

Dark eyed thinking raised_brow

"Darth Plagueis was not only my master, Jacen— in a sense, he was your great-grandfather as well. He created life in Shmi Skywalker, gave birth to your great bloodline. Perhaps it was only a demonstration in power for him... but he created a being even more powerful than himself with nothing but the Force."

Me likes that idea grin applause

"I feel the exact same way... and that's what worries me."

thinking That sounds after Star Trek … V tongue Spocks brother going all crazy with his god silly … and what he does and say tongue

"Jacen Solo is no more," Malig declared. "He has been reborn. Rise, son, and become Darth Hâvok."

Interesting name thinking



"I'm not going to kill my sister!" Jacen shouted in disbelief, his hands tightening into fists.

He says that now worried thinking



Chapter 42: Halo

"If you haven't heard from Anakin or Tahiri, you need to look for them... I hope they were able to escape, Jacen went on. I'm so sorry... I really messed up this time. But I love you both... Please remember that, no matter what happens."

He is a sneaky little … okay grandson of a sith tongue

"Not quite. You won't be needed for this mission, Anakin. We just want the Alliance to think we're letting the Jedi activate Centerpoint. They'll rush into Corellian space like Wes Janson to an Ewok festival. And when they get here, they'll be forced into a standoff."

laugh cry laugh

"What? A guy's got to be a Jedi now to get something done?" The Millennium Falcon's captain questioned. "Leia, Mara, and me worked this all out last night. I've got more experience doing stuff like this than most of you— Hell, I was taking on the Empire before most of the Jedi here were even born."

He has a very superb point grin

The military leader could only stare at Releqy A'Kla in shock. There was an underground movement supporting the Jedi amongst some of the most respected senators in the Alliance. Lorra had seen the reports that the Jedi who had escaped Ossus had fled to Kashyyyk, but she'd never dreamed that the Wookiee's lauded senator may have been involved.

Was there?! tongue



Chapter 43: What Lies Ahead

"You have my word," Lando said, laying his hand on Han's shoulder. "Don't worry. I've got a Jedi Master as my copilot. Chances are there won't even be a shot fired at Centerpoint."

laugh that certainly helps a lot tongue



"No, not exactly," she managed, chocking back tears. "It's just... I don't know how to explain it, Anakin. But you have to take me with you. It's the only way to stop it."

Tears are helping .. for sure wink

***

Nylykerka's face fell slightly, and Rodan realized the Intelligence Director was sympathetic to Ackbar— just as so many others would be. It might throw the planet of Mon Calamari completely over to the Jedi.

That is a very valid point thinking

"Oh, kriff."

tongue

Tahiri's arms folded defensively in the dim reflection. "I don't need you to protect me, you know, hero boy."

Yep she needs him, ‘cause he is her hero boy grin

"Anakin..."

"I just don't want it to be that way... If something's going to happen to us, I..."

"What are you saying?"

He wasn't sure. Anakin hadn't planned on saying anything like this and he didn't really know where his train of thought was leading him, let alone how to communicate it to Tahiri. But somehow, he found himself facing her, and down on his knees in front of her, his hands resting on her own knees. "I.. um... Will you?"

"Will I what?" Tahiri's jade eyes were wide, startled by his behavior, but he could feel a tingle of excitement beneath her skin even without the Force.

"..." he hesitated, trying to find the words. "You know..."

"I think so," she nodded, a small grin forming in the corners of her pink lips. "But this is kind of something a girl needs to hear, Anakin. To save myself some embarrassment just in case you've got me agreeing to something else."

He didn't laugh. He wasn't even sure she was joking as he looking up at her over her knees. "Tahiri, I want you to marry me," he said. "... Will you?"


Aww love love
Very cute grin grin

love love

He leaned up and she met him halfway, their lips melting together in a kiss that made all the sickness he'd felt over the last few days fade into the miasma outside the observation bubble.

love love

Tahiri had always been his best friend... She'd always been something more. And now, they would become something greater together still.

They were in love.

No matter what lay ahead of them, they could hold onto that.

Forever.


That is just sweet love
