	Wow! You had me going there. I really wasn't sure what path Zekk would take! The torture scenes were pretty bad, poor Zekk and Nant, you really got sadistic! I'm glad though that in the end Zekk foresaw that he would have lost it as a Sith and hurt Jaina. His sacrifice fits perfectly with who he is. Thank you for making him one with the Force. Nant, well, he's a disadvantaged teen. His dark side turn is expected. Sad, but expected. Krayt had to be pleased. Like the connection of Dician to the shadow academy! -----signature----- Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, with open arms and open eyes.

	jadesabre75 Wow. That was intense. And so COOL!!!!! LOL I was so happy that Zekk held out and didn't turn. Someone needs to smack his apprentice though. Yes it was intense to write too...I never feel that confident about torture scenes they're hard to write and keep them from becoming too violent but yet get the affect you want. The fact that Zekk did held out is what makes him so noble. Jaina saved him from the dark side when he was a kid and she in effect saved him again, though she will never know it. Yes, Nant needs smacked. Awesome job!!!! I hate that I read so fast, now I have to wait for the next kriffing chapter... Oh well. Thanks...I'm hoping to have the next chapter up eary next week...I know what a wait but I'll have updates for GBF and TWP to tide you over... jacensolofangirl2007 that was so sad, but it was very well writen Thanks... it was sad to write too... I really hope we get some J/J now.... Yes, now we will soon get some J/J... There will be a transition chapter (the next one) then Jag comes into the picture... canadianjedimama delurks in spectacular fashion Hi. Hi back...I'm glad that you delurked! I don't bite honest... OMG....you killed Zekk. And it was heartwrenching, horrible, but awesome too. Zekk remained firmly in the Light, no matter what happened to him. Yep, I killed Zekk...I seem to do that a lot to him. EMMM...I really have to stop doing that. But yes he remained in the Light, which is probably a good thing.. not sure I'd want him to become a Sith. I swear that boy's got an inner core of goodness that would rival Luke Skywalker's. I agree.... Poor Jaina and Hope. I'm assuming Jag picks up the pieces? Should be interesting. Well, he will show back up in the chapter after next.... angry_bendu1 Holy moly! I'd say that this DEFINITELY isn't a triangle! No I told you it wasn't, Jaina may have some hang-ups but she eventually fell totally in love with Zekk only to have him die... Oops... didn't mean to laugh at Zekk's noble yet imminent demise, however I'm really looking forward to the J/J section of this fic. With a tasteful (but not too long ) lapse of time between the two, of course... I know...I think everyone is. Jag comes back on the scene in the chapter after next.... Great job, and thanks for the pm! Thanks and you are welcome.... TelannaTani Just caught up. Great updates! Terrible, terrible end for poor Zekk. Awesome that you brought Krayt into the fold. Nice little Viggie! Thanks! Yes it was a terrible end for Zekk. Of course Krayt's Sith would be causing trouble. Thanks for reading... Looking forward to more. Hopefully by early next week... SWpants666 Zekk didn’t tell his apprentice about the last time he saw the ship, or that he wasn’t as confident about his proclamation that it wasn’t a Sith flying Poor Zekk. stupid Ship. yep... As a jolt of electricity surged through Zekk’s body, he let out a scream. Poor Zekk, poor Nant. I feel so terrible for them both Me too... I hated torturing them... Zekk was trying to figure out what she meant ... “Finally! I was beginning to think Brakiss really made a mistake about you, Darkest Knight.” Torture fries the brain cells, yep Especially electric shook torture... “Sure, Master,” the boy turned to Zekk and sneered. “I hate you too. If you hadn’t gone to Zoist without a real plan, we wouldn’t have been captured. I had a lot of time figurin’ that out while they beat me to a pulp. I swore after I left the undercity that no one would ever beat me again.” groans nooo, that's so not good. I think I'm going to really start crying That's okay....I'll cry with you... The Sith turned to Zekk. “You can end it here. Kill her.” Zekk stared at the lightsaber. He felt his good arm reach up to call it to his hand. But he stopped, before the Force was totally gathered within him. He suddenly felt Jaina’s weak brush against his being. Thank the Force Jaina prevented him from falling again. But I hate that Nant didn't have anything like that and attacked Zekk Yes, Jaina saved Zekk again. But poor Nant didn't, though Zekk tried to be. I knew he died, but it was the torturing, the way it happened, that really broke my heart. That's why I decided to write the vig within the story. I wanted to show that Zekk truly died honoribly. A it broke my heart to write it. Thanks for reading!! Trickster-Lead Poor, Zekk. At least he died well, though. It shows a lot about his character, something that I think has been lacking in the books. Excellent work, as usual. Thanks for reading!!!! Yes, I agree that the books do lack a gread deal when it comes to his characterization. But oddly I really started liking Zekk with LotF and finally saw between the lines what a noble person he is. iamobiwan1970 Wow! You had me going there. I really wasn't sure what path Zekk would take! Yes, he was on the edge of falling again... The torture scenes were pretty bad, poor Zekk and Nant, you really got sadistic! I'm glad though that in the end Zekk foresaw that he would have lost it as a Sith and hurt Jaina. His sacrifice fits perfectly with who he is. Thank you for making him one with the Force. They weren't easy to write either. It was hard to find the balance between being too graphic to being too shallow. But I am sadistic I guess...I'm always torturing poor Zekk in one way or another... Personally, I think it would have been out of character for Zekk to give in to the darkness. He's always fighting it. And after that type of self sacrifice, of course he'd become one with the Force. Nant, well, he's a disadvantaged teen. His dark side turn is expected. Sad, but expected. Krayt had to be pleased. He's a lot like a young Zekk or Kyp or even Anakin Skywalker...His turn was expected and yep Krayt's order just gained one more member to replace the one he executed. Like the connection of Dician to the shadow academy! Oh, I re-read every scene in Fury that she was in to get her characterzation down, but let's face it if Lomi Plo and Wekk, who had been part of the Shadow Academy, and then were part of Krayt's order, why not other SA survivors...I'm sure not all of them were destroyed. Thanks for reading... FL -----signature----- I used to dream of Kyp or Jag, now it's Edward Cullen...I blame Cyn and Saber.. Master to DanaeMariSkywalker, JediMasterArmada and PHGS_Weyr

	Nah, Saber, I won't do that... Here's the next part... enjoy... One Year Later, 46 ABY Jaina looked up from her datapad and instantly the familiar pain touched her heart. The past year had been a hard one on her and her daughter. She moved her gaze over to the raven haired three-year-old playing quietly in the corner of her office. She took her everywhere and already the little girl was learning to do things that normally she would not have learned for at least one to two years from now. Jaina watched as a toy X-wing floated into the air and began to “fly” around the little girl. She smiled at her daughter’s antics. Hope was extremely strong in the Force and the fact that she sat in with Jaina as she taught her classes only allowed the toddler to learn things that she normally wouldn’t know yet. As Hope made another small fighter, this one a TIE fighter, which had been gifted to her on her birthday by one of Jaina’s students, swoop after the X-wing, Jaina grinned at Hope’s squeal of delight. She had been in the Empire for almost six months. She thought back over the past year and sighed as she remembered… Those first few months after Zekk’s death were nothing but a blur. When a Jedi team was assembled to go out to the Corporate Sector, hoping to find out what had happened, Jaina had instantly wanted to go along, but Luke helped her realize that, as much as she may want to go, she was needed far more at home. Hope had felt her father’s death as profoundly as Jaina had, but the two-year-old had no concept of what had happened to her father except that he was gone and everyone around her was sad. Luke forced Jaina to understand that to leave Hope now would lead to the little girl feeling abandoned by both her parents no matter how well Leia took care of her. In the end, Luke, Ben, Kyp and Han took the Falcon and searched for the truth of what happened to Zekk and his apprentice, Nant. Three weeks later they found the Dactyl Zekk had taken from the Jedi hangar floating in the asteroid belt of the planet of Geonosis, but there was no sign of the Jedi and no explanation as to why it would have been here thousands of light years away from Bonadan, the place Zekk’s last transmission had been from before he disappeared from the Force a month before his death. The ship was damaged by repeated bombardment from the asteroids and its hull was compromised. Han was able to get close enough to grapple the broken ship and tow it from the melee of spinning rocks the size of the Falcon itself. Once free, Luke, Kyp and Ben suited up and entered the Dactyl. The only thing they were able to find was amazingly Zekk’s lightsaber which had been wedged between a buckled beam of a bulkhead and the deck. Kyp was able to retrieve it and gave it to Jaina upon their return. Nothing else was saved since it was obvious that all else in the ship had been sucked out to space. Jaina glanced up to the shelf where her husband’s lightsaber lay beside the last holo of him taken with Hope only weeks before his mission. He didn’t even know Jaina had taken the hologram of him sleeping with Hope sprawled out over his chest, his arms around his daughter as they slept. She smiled at the happy memory and looked back over at Hope. Now she was playing with a doll that Leia had given her. She marveled at the girl and how she could be pretending to be “flying” toy starfighters in an intense dogfight one moment and playing mommy the next. It still amazed Jaina at how much Hope looked like Zekk, but she was glad for the resemblance, it was the one thing of her father’s no one could ever take from her. Jaina’s mind again wondered back to the dream she had three months after Zekk’s death that brought her to where she was now. In the dream Zekk appeared to her and told her that she was wallowing in her despair and grief, which she admittedly had been. He made her realize that she had to move on, that what she was doing wasn’t good for her or for Hope. Then before she could question him, he told her that he would always love her and Hope, but he hoped Jaina would live her life again, and then he disappeared and was replaced with an image of Jaina standing in the middle of a strange classroom teaching students whom she didn’t recognize. When she got to her office in the Temple the next morning, she was surprised at a message waiting for her. Mic A’Loc wanted to meet with her. She almost brushed the former Stormtrooper major-turned-Jedi Knight off, but, before she instructed the assistant she shared with three other Masters to send off an excuse, she had a feeling that the Force wanted her to meet with him, and instead she agreed to see him later that day after her Council meeting. Two weeks later, she and A’Loc presented a formal proposal to the Council that would open a small Jedi academy on Bastion. The proposal was followed a few weeks later with a trip to the Imperial Remnant by Luke, Jaina, Kam Solusar and Mic A’Loc. After meeting with the new Grand Moff Ephim Sareti, who, after Pellaeon’s death, became the head of state, and with many of the perspective students, the Jedi decided that maybe it was better to train these Force-sensitives in the ways of the Jedi than not. Most of the adults Mic A’Loc had identified were military, pilots and Stromtroopers, but what convinced Luke was Sareti’s story about security arresting a man who had possibly touched the dark side when he killed his wife. The man had no formal training, but somehow had been able to teach himself enough to cause harm to others. Sareti’s argument was that due to the old Empire’s distrust of the Jedi and, likewise, the distrust of the Jedi of the Empire had made it difficult for Force-sensitives to be found and trained, but times had changed. The Empire was part of the Galactic Alliance and that there was no reason not to train their Force-sentives to serve a larger purpose. After returning to Coruscant, Jaina volunteered to be the Master to open the academy in the Imperial City of Bastion. Her family was concerned she was trying to find a way to run away from the pain and grief, but that wasn’t the case. She had come to find her purpose again. She still grieved the death of her husband, but over the months since her dream, she had found less and less pain in her memories and more love and joy. Soon she missed the holos she had buried away from sight. She pulled Zekk’s lightsaber from the dark drawer she had hidden it in after Kyp had so lovingly presented it to her, and put it on a shelf where, not only she could see it, but also Hope. She remembered the holos on the holocam she hadn’t touched since Hope’s birthday, and had them recorded onto disks and cubes that she would play or display in her apartment and Temple office. And she found delight in the fascination Hope had in the man she was quickly forgetting. Jaina decided then that she would never let Hope forget her father, no matter how much pain it would cause Jaina. One such forgotten holo had been the last one with Zekk and Hope sleeping. She didn’t realize she had stood from her chair and moved to the shelf as she remembered the past months, until she looked at the holo in her hands. She fought the wave of grief as she touched the hologram of Zekk’s peacefully sleeping face and hoped he found the same peace in death. Tomorrow marked the one year anniversary of his death. Suddenly, a chirp from her desk comm brought her out of her thoughts. She carried the holo with her and lovingly sat it in the corner of her desk. Taking a deep breath and one last look at the man she loved, she answered the comlink. “Master Solo, here.” “Jaina?” She instantly sat up. She hadn’t spoken to the latest Moff since his brief comm call a year ago after the news of Zekk’s death had reached the HoloNet. “Jag, is that you?” “Hello, Jaina, I was wondering if I could visit you and your daughter. I’m here on Bastion for the Moffs Council and would like to see you both.” She took one more glance at the holo and took a deep breath. “I’d like that.” She could hear the smile in his voice as he asked, “How about tomorrow? I’m free and thought I’d take you and Hope to the zoo.” She laughed when Hope let out a squeal of delight. “Mommy, can we? I want to see the animals. You promised to take me, but you haven’t yet.” “Well, Moff Fel,” Jaina said as she smiled at the little imp excitedly bouncing beside her desk, “I think that’s your answer.” “Good. I’ll pick you up at 0900. I just need your address.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well?

	She smiled at her daughter’s antics. Hope was extremely strong in the Force and the fact that she sat in with Jaina as she taught her classes only allowed the toddler to learn things that she normally wouldn’t know yet. Aw A true part of the family Hope had felt her father’s death as profoundly as Jaina had, but the two-year-old had no concept of what had happened to her father except that he was gone and everyone around her was sad. aw poor kid In the dream Zekk appeared to her and told her that she was wallowing in her despair and grief, which she admittedly had been. He made her realize that she had to move on, that what she was doing wasn’t good for her or for Hope. Then before she could question him, he told her that he would always love her and Hope, but he hoped Jaina would live her life again, and then he disappeared and was replaced with an image of Jaina standing in the middle of a strange classroom teaching students whom she didn’t recognize. That makes me so very happy that Zekk was able to become one with the Force and talk to Jaina, even if it was only in a dream. Makes me smile. woot a date with Jag -----signature----- ~MTFBWY~ **Holder of the Straw of Disaster** All I want is to be in the light
