	WINNER 2008 BEST SONGFIC! THE_PIED_PIPER: When the idea of a Jag/Jaina song 'fic struck me last week, I kept coming back to this song. It has always been one of my top 10, and is somewhat autobiographical for my own life. The words and video are haunting and powerful. A beautiful powerful love song without being sappy. A special thank you to Mod VaderLover for approving the video. It sets the mood for the fic. Kicks Dedication: This is for my Sean. My Rock, My Harbor in the Tempest and my Steady and Strong. The Jag to my Jaina in so many ways that it frightens me. I've loved you since I was little more than a girl, and am so glad you found me again. The words, music and 'fic are yours...Always. Fly Well, until your resting here with me.. A special thank you to Grand Master Mamma Tahi for the terrific Beta. This is why I love you, Master! CANADIANJEDIMAMA: When Piper sent me the video link and was like "What do you think?" I immediately shot back a few ideas and was excited to see what she would post. Imagine my surprise when she asked if I wanted to co-author with her. I was so flattered. hugs to Piper This has been a wonderful experience that has made me grow as a writer and I couldn't have done it without her. And it was way too much fun to indulge in my Jagged Fel addiction with someone as hopeless as me. Cyn's Dedication: This is for my very own little Jedi, Darth Toddler. Thank you baby for indulging Mama when she asked for just one more minute to finish typing down a thought. Mama loves you. And for Tahi, who even though you're not my master, you were kind enough to help me on my fanfic way. Thanks so much. And now without further ado, CanadianPiper bring you our little dose of Jag/Jaina love, HERE WITH ME http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXbrwIeG3pg&NR=1 (special thanks to Vaderlover for allowing us to use his vid) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I didn't hear you leave I wonder how am I still here And I don't want to move a thing It might change my memory Oh I am what I am I do what I want But I can't hide She was lying in Jag's arms, the musky afterglow of their love surrounding and engulfing her with the purest light and hope. This had been her dream for more years than she cared to recall, and now, once again, it had come to fruition. She'd never felt so alive. Which was decidedly odd considering that death was very possibly waiting right around the next corner. But she knew that this place and time would carry her through the days ahead - through the rest of her life, however long the Force decided it should be. Jag looked so peaceful lying there, starlight gently filtering through the window, into his quarters and onto the bed. His perfect olive complexion was now fully illuminated in the star light, sweat still glittering on his skin. He stirred, brow crinkling slightly, drawing his defining scar down lower. His broad shoulders shifted and he rolled onto his back, his arm instinctively reaching out to claim Jaina. Jaina grinned, musing to herself that some things definitely get better with age. Not that it hadn't always been good. She brushed a soft kiss over his wrinkled brow and wondered what he was dreaming about. Knowing him it would be claw craft or X-Wing manoeuvres or perhaps battle tactics. No doubt in laser-sharp, Chiss-precise images. Gently she trailed her fingers up his still slick and freshly red-marked bicep. She blushed slightly, remembering the particular "manoeuvre" that had caused that. The chrono beeped softly. She knew that it would soon be time to go, to leave him one more time for duty. She swore to herself that this time it would be the last. Unable to relinquish the contact, she ran her finger over the scar on his forehead. She would have been the first to admit that touching his scar had always been a fetish of hers, but he tolerated it without complaint. Her finger continued over his handsome features until it found the curve of his lips. She softly began to speak, "I am yours and always have been. I won't rest or breathe until once again we are here like this. Until you’re resting here with me." She gently kissed him, being careful not to awaken him with her touch - which she had always been able to do without much effort at all. She then gently left Jagged's bed to face destiny. Jaina turned back at the door, capturing one last image of him in her mind. "I am yours and always will be. Until you’re resting here with me." And I won't go I won't sleep I can't breathe Until you're resting here with me And I won't leave I can't hide I cannot be Until you're resting here with me ****************************************************** I don't want to call my friends For they might wake me from this dream And I can't leave this bed Risk forgetting all that's been Dark hair swaying slightly over the scar on his forehead, Jagged Soontir Fel trudged into the Millennium Falcon’s hangar bay – but no matter how he tried he just couldn’t conjure up any enthusiasm. He wore the black garments and cape that had become his trademark; and his freshly shined boots made slight clicking noises on the makeshift floor, the familiar cadence carrying him across the hanger in a matter of moments. For all practical purposes the son of the Imperial Baron looked like the Emperor of the galaxy. But his thoughts were on the previous night that he had spent with Jaina, and her abrupt departure that had left him to wake up alone. He looked at the spot where her X-Wing had been the night before, next to his own, but, now the only companion his ship had was the Millennium Falcon. The fact that the Falcon was still there was a good sign, he calculated, or at least not an overtly bad one – although as he neared the old ship’s boarding ramp he noticed there was a sabacc game in progress. It was a game that Jag could see had the potential for blood, lightsaber clashes and calamitous changes to galactic history. Jag’s respect and admiration for his Uncle Wedge Antilles was raised several notches in that instant. Force blind or not, Wedge sat playing cards and drinking Corellian ale, with three Jedi Masters. And by the tone of the conversation around said table and the look on their faces, he was winning. Jag grinned at that. He approached his uncle, until he stood directly to his left. Looking up from his hand, Jedi Master Kyp Durron addressed Jagged. “Colonel Durasteel, care to join us?” Jag looked him square in the eye and coolly replied, “No, thank you, Master Durron.” “Afraid, Fel?” Kyp said baiting him. “No,” Jag grinned, “I’ve just become accustomed to much better looking company.” Durron’s grin split his face open as he replied, “So it would seem.” “Come on, Durron," Wedge broke in, "I think you owe my nephew a thank you, seeing as though he eliminated Alema Rar before she could reveal to the holotabloids that she was your mystery lover.” “Stang, Antilles…get it right," Kyp replied as he downed his own ale, “everyone but Corran knows it's Mirax.” Corran crushed out his cigar and retorted, “See Jag, you have to ignore Kyp when he’s losing at sabacc, which is every time he plays. His typical bad manners and overt delusions of grandeur bleed through more than usual, showing that his intelligence is the second smallest thing he has.” Jagged grinned, but said nothing. He wasn't touching that one with a ten-meter bantha prod. Some comments were best left where they lay. Just then Han Solo appeared at the top of the Falcon’s boarding ramp. “Jag, you finally showed up, huh? I was beginning to think you were ignoring my message. Not a good idea.” Jag checked his chrono, “It was only an hour ago, Cap--, uh, Han.” Solo grinned and said, “Hurry up, it’s time we had a chat,” and turned to go back into the Falcon. Jag stared at where the older man had been standing, all possibilities of “chat” running through his mind. Maybe he would have a couple of ales after all. That and check the power output on his blaster. “At least he’s not Booster, Jag,” came Corran’s voice again. “That’s about all I can offer you right now.” “Yeah, that is a slight step up,” Master Katarn chimed in. “The problem for you, Fel, is that in his old age Han Solo has taken to strangling men with his bare hands - brutal but effective. I’ve certainly done it a few times. And that involved his cousin, not someone who is sleeping with his daughter.” Jag shot an angry look at the aging Jedi Master. How did everyone know his and Jaina’s personal business anyway? Jagged Fel was a very private young man by nature, and he didn’t appreciate that privacy being violated. “Hey,” Katarn replied, “some things are just obvious.” “I love Jaina,” the proclamation came effortlessly out of Jag’s mouth, “I would never do anything to compromise her.” Wedge looked up at his young nephew, “He knows that, Jag, but unfortunately as a father to a beautiful young woman that doesn’t make a whole lot of difference. I can relate.” “Well at least it’s not Leia, Fel. I’d hate for you to get shot down again." Kyp turned to Wedge. "Antilles, maybe you should contact your sister now, and have her send for Colonel Durasteel's remains, since his pretty boy face is in its final hours.” Jag, no longer in the mood for any of this, shot back, “Durron, get a haircut. The long hair draws attention to your big nose. Then, maybe, whoever the mystery woman is, she won’t be embarrassed to be seen in public at a Hutt wrestling match with you.” Corran spat out his ale in midair, “Very good Jag," he choked out. "Spoken like a true Corellian.” “Shut up, Corran,” was Durron’s blunt reply, “go practice your telekinetics so you can be a real Master, then I’ll consider wasting my time sparring with you. And stop cheating!” Corran Horn made a decidedly un-Jedi Master like gesture at Kyp. Kyp continued, “Fine. I put 500 credits on Colonel Durasteel walking off the Millennium Falcon in semi-functional order.” Durron grinned, winked at Jag and offered him a toast. “Don’t disappoint me - I like my credits. And I suggest you cover the bite mark on your neck.” Jag heeded the advice of the Jedi Master, adjusting the collar of his flight jacket. He quickly downed the ale his uncle had passed him and started up the boarding ramp of the Millennium Falcon. He would ask Han’s blessing for Jaina’s hand in marriage. If he got it - great. If he didn’t, he had overcome worse. One way or the other he and Jaina would begin a new life together. He would have her. And she would have him. They'd have each other. Together. Forever. He was sure of that much. And I won't go I won't sleep I can't breathe Until you're resting here with me And I won't leave I can't hide I cannot be Until you're resting here with me ****************************************************** The Force was with her. Of that there was no doubt. But it was also with him. Darth Caedus. She raised a trembling arm to wipe sweat and blood from her eyes. But she did not break eye contact; that would be a fatal mistake. "You won't win," the yellow-eyed monster hissed at her through broken lips. "I don't have to win, I just have to stop you." Caedus made a choking sound that could have been laughter, Jaina couldn't tell. She was fairly certain her last elbow jab had broken his jaw, just as his last kick had fractured most of the ribs on her right side. He stopped circling and raised a hand, palm out. Crooking his fingers, he beckoned her forward. "Come then." Jaina blew out a breath, rolling her shoulders, switching her saber to her left hand. The movement was often made by fighters as they entered into the fray. In this instance though, it also dropped a short rebar of bes'kar down her sleeve. Letting out a battle yell, Jaina sprang forward, igniting her blade held in her left hand. Her feet briefly touched the ground before she hurtled forward and up, above Jacen's head, her saber blade held aloft. Cadeus grinned madly, his yellow eyes gleaming, raising his red saber up to block. He thrust his blade forward and up, knocking Jaina's violet blade aside. His sickly eyes gleamed in triumph, locked on his sister’s face. Jaina allowed defeat and fear to leak into the Force. She rotated her wrist, sliding the bes'kar into her hand, even as she brought the lightsaber around to slash wildly at Caedus's face. Afterward, she was never sure if the glare from the lightsaber blade or his own hubris blinded him. But she was sure that he never saw or sensed the rebar that made brutal and brief contact with the side of his skull. Caedus swayed and crumpled to the ground. Jaina added a quick jolt of Force energy to make sure he stayed down. For a long moment she simply stared at the battered inert form huddled on the ground before her. Tears welled in her eyes as she whispered, "This is the only way, please forgive me." She tumbled to her knees beside his still form. Splaying her hands over him Jaina reached into Force. And reached into Caedus. The tumble of emotions inside him was staggering: fear, betrayal, anger and above all, a crushing sense of loneliness and longing. Tears spilled freely down Jaina’s cheeks, mixing with blood and grime, dripping onto the tattered front of her flight suit. Darkness spewed from Caedus's mind, reaching for her soul with hungry talons. But each strike was parried with the pure clean light of the Force. In her distant mind's eye she saw the thundercloud that was Caedus within the Force. Jaina sent tendrils of the light toward the cloud. The first few were absorbed and the cloud seemed to grow darker. She bore down with her will and the Force, redoubling her efforts, ruthlessly pushing aside her own grief, fear and exhaustion. It still was not enough. Let me, let us help you Jaya Anakin's disembodied voice whispered. Even as the shock flooded through her at her younger brother's voice, she felt and sensed someone take her hand. I'm here, Little One. Let me help too. Another warm and firm hand gripped hers. She recognized the deep, Outer Rim accented voice from her childhood dreams. Grandfather. Open yourself to us, to the meld. Mara urged, taking both Anakin’s hands. Spurred on by her family and emboldened by their spirits and their power in the Force Jaina struck out again. This time when the light swirled toward the dark, it didn't stop. With the power from the meld coursing through her, Jaina poured more light toward the cloud, weaving and spinning a cocoon of light around the dark. Faster, stronger, harder, pouring more light and more heat into the cold, black storm cloud that was Caedus. With a flash that seared her Force-sense and hurtled her back against the bulkhead, Jaina's eyes snapped open. Jacen lay on the floor before her, breathing shallowly and eyes closed. Grandfather, Anakin and Mara were gone. Several fleet troopers were gathered around the huddled body on the floor. "Is he alive?" she rasped. The troopers startled back at her voice, the leader taking a step forward. "Barely." He cocked his helmeted head at her. "Are you alright, Jedi Solo?" "Fine," she said, gritting her teeth against pain and bone-numbing exhaustion coursing through her. "Have someone prep my ship for launch." "And what about him?" The second of three asked, prodding the limp body at their feet with the toe of his boot. Jaina drew herself up. "Darth Caedus is gone." She glanced down at the prone form on the floor. "Jacen Solo is under arrest by the Jedi, under orders from Supreme Commander Niathal." She speared the trooper with her best Colonel's glare. "Sedate, restrain and load the prisoner into my shuttle." Jaina waited half a beat. "NOW, trooper." "Yes, Ma'am!" And I won't go I won't sleep I can't breathe Until you're resting here with me I won't leave I can't hide I cannot be Until you're resting here ****************************************************** Jaina watched the hover-sled move her sedated twin off toward Cilghal's med-ward. Three days after their fight, the cuts, slashes and bruises she had given him were truly grotesque. Shifting her shoulder, she winced. If her degree of aches and pains were any indication, she probably looked just as bad as Jacen. Uncle Luke placed his hand on her shoulder, and quickly withdrew it as she hissed in pain. "You did well, Jaina." He stepped toward her, embracing her lightly. "But you look like hell." Jaina chuffed a laugh, gasping as her still healing ribs protested. "Yeah, I know. Look what the proom dragged in." Uncle and niece regarded each other for a long minute. "What happens now, Uncle Luke?" Jaina whispered. Luke Skywalker’s eyes clouded. "I don't know, Jaina. I really don't." He seemed to shake himself and his eyes cleared. He smiled at her. "But nothing is going to happen tonight." A blush rose in Jaina's cheeks. She was glad that it was the middle of the Jedi base's night cycle. "Ah..Uncle Luke?" Luke's smiled broadened. "I didn't tell anyone you were back, just Cilghal and Tekli. I figured you might want some time to...ah...destress. Morning will be soon enough." The fire in Jaina's cheeks increased, but relief also swelled in her. Uncle Luke was right; tomorrow was soon enough. But tonight wasn't soon enough for something else. Someone else. "I'll expect your oral report at the mid-day Council session, Jedi Solo." Luke said formally. "Right now though, dismissed." "As you wish, Grand Master," Jaina said, bowing. She stepped forward, brushing a kiss across his cheek. "Good night.” ”Uncle Luke.....I love you." "I love you too, Jaina." He made a shooing motion with his hands. "Now go, scat." His blue eyes turned mischievous. "Don't be up the rest of the night though." With that he turned to walk away. Jaina chuckled to herself, massaging her sore ribs as she did so. Turning away from the landing pad, she hurried along the corridors of the Jedi base, damping down her Force presence so as not to alert anyone she was there. As eager as she was to see her parents and other friends, they could wait until the morning. Right now, there was only one person she wanted or needed to see. As she rounded the last corner, her target door slid open. Jagged Fel stepped into the hall, a flight bag slung over his shoulder, his back toward her. "And where do you think you're going?" Jaina said in a low voice. Jag's presence in the Force flared supernova bright at the sound of her voice. Slowly, he turned. "To find you." "And if a Jedi doesn't want to be found?" Jaina asked haughtily. "Then I hunt harder, you should know that," he said, his emerald eyes locking with her brandy brown. They stared at each other for a long second, all the promises that they'd whispered to each other the last time they'd been together swirling between them. Then with a low cry, Jaina flung herself into his arms. Jag caught her up in his arms, the flight bag dropping to the floor with a thump. With a start, he realized she was shaking. "Easy, love, easy. You're home now." Jaina buried her face in the crook of his neck, and he felt the warm trickle of tears down his skin. Backing toward the hatch, he bumped the keypad with his hip. The door opened and he carried her across the room to the bed. Sitting on the edge, Jag rocked her in his arms. For long moments, the only sound in the room was the sound of Jaina's forlorn sobbing and Jag's whispered nonsensical words of comfort. Eventually, Jaina's grief was spilled and she quieted. Settling himself back against the pillow, Jag adjusted Jaina until they were lying nose to nose. He raised a calloused thumb to brush away her tears. "Jag, I ..." "No," he whispered. "Don't say anything now. Tell me later, when you're ready." He pressed his lips lightly to hers. Jaina lost herself in his gentle kiss. So perfect, pure and bright. Breaking the kiss, she rested her forehead against his. "Can I stay here tonight?" He laughed softly. "Like I'd let you out of my sight." Jaina chuckled, brushing a kiss across the tip of his nose. "I couldn't breathe, I couldn't sleep, I knew I wouldn't rest until you were here with me." Jag said softly. His eyes glittered in the darkness. In the Force, his sense suddenly became determined. "Marry me," he said quietly. Jag knew if she rejected him as she had before, it would kill his spirit. But he had an irrational and sudden urge to press the question now. Jaina stared at him. "Today?" "Yes, now." "Jag, I'm a mess. Covered in bruises, nothing but my Jedi robes to wear..." "Marry me." His eyes remained locked on hers. "I don't care what you look like or wear, just marry me." Jaina stared deep into his eyes. It was there, in him, with him that she found her peace. Unconditional love and acceptance flowed between them, pure and clean. After fifteen years, the weight of Sword of the Jedi had finally been lifted from around her neck. "Yes," she breathed. "I'll marry you." Jag's joy exploded into the Force, leaving her breathless. He pulled her to him and crushed his lips to hers. After what seemed an eternity they broke apart. "Hold me," she whispered. Obliging, he tightened his arms more firmly about her. "Forever, if you'll have me." She smiled through sudden tears. Yes, forever sounded just about right. Snuggling closer to him, she opened herself fully to the bond between them. Healing energy and love, warm and familiar poured into her. Basking in it, she smiled sleepily up at him once more. "Forever then," she said softly as her eyes drifted closed. Jag pulled her closer still, tucking her head under his chin. "I won't go, until you're resting here with me." Then he let himself be pulled under, towards Jaina and sweet restful oblivion. And I won't go I won't sleep I can't breathe Until you're resting here with me I won't leave I can't hide I cannot be Until you're resting here I won't go And I won't sleep And I can't breathe Until you're resting here with me ~Fin So.....Read, Review, Talk amongst yourself and please Tell Us What You Think!

	First Beautiful, beautiful songfic, guys. And it was my pleasure to be your beta, believe me. Such a lovely wistful song, and you've matched the mood perfectly. I loved the blokish banter amongst the pilots and Jedi, such as this bit: “Come on, Durron," Wedge broke in, "I think you owe my nephew a thank you, seeing as though he eliminated Alema Rar before she could reveal to the holotabloids that she was your mystery lover.” “Stang, Antilles…get it right," Kyp replied as he downed his own ale, “everyone but Corran knows it's Mirax.” That cracked me up. showing that his intelligence is the second smallest thing he has.” Ooh - low blow! I loved the idea of having Anakin, Mara and Anakin Snr help Jaina out. That was inspired. It seems to me that Jedi working together is the only way to capitalise on their combined strength, and when you add the power of those IN the Force then you have something that can't be beaten. I also liked that you allowed for Jacen to be saved from his Caedus persona, as that was in keeping with the mood of the songfic - salvation through love. Beautiful ending, and I love the Jaina-Jag dialogue. "And if a Jedi doesn't want to be found?" Jaina asked haughtily. "Then I hunt harder, you should know that," he said, his emerald eyes locking with her brandy brown. Lovely. He will never give up will he? You've created a wonderful little fic here. I do hope you carry on your writing partnership. -----signature----- "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven." Ecclesiastes 3:1 Master to THE_PIED_PIPER

	Hi everybody, this is canadianjedimama posting. Piper's assigned me replies. I'm sure she'll be around at some point to add her two credits. Tahi: hugs Thanks so much for everything. Piper wrote the "boys gambling" bit and I thought it was just a scream. I couldn't stop laughing. This was so much fun, there will definitely be more from this dynamic duo. YodaKenobi: foot tapping We're wating. Nah, just kidding. Take your time, so you can get this week's Exodus post top shelf. Then you can give me an indepth reply. Deal? Jade_eyes: I got the inspiration for the Jaina/Caedus scene from the Invincible cover. I've no experience writing battle scenes (I'm hoping to rememdy that!) so I wanted it to be brutal and brief. I'm so glad it worked. Thanks so much for reading. jadsabre75: Better than canon? Really? Awwwww Jaina_and_Jag: Here's seconding canon to get on with it. I think I'd actually die of shock if we get anything concrete in Invincible. They'll wait until the next book(s). Utter shenanigans, I tell you. angry_bendu1: We're glad you enjoyed our little endeavour. One can never have too much J/J awesomeness. At least IMHO. Solo_and_Fel: Jag isn't about to be left out of the action just because he doesn't have one of those nifty, shiny swords. Not that he needs it. Jagged Fel's badassery know no bounds.

I've loved you since I was little more than a girl, and am so glad you found me again. The words, music and 'fic are yours...Always. It was for me? I'm like Corran: "That's all I can give you right now." But I'll be home 06:00, be ready. I assure you, I've gotten the much lovelier end of the deal; I'm nobodies bargain. Canadian-Piper posted: Fly Well I always do. Canadian-Piper posted: Jaina grinned, musing to herself that some things definitely get better with age. Not that it hadn't always been good. I guess this is why Jags your, "Baby Daddy?" Canadian-Piper posted: She brushed a soft kiss over his wrinkled brow and wondered what he was dreaming about. Knowing him it would be claw craft or X-Wing manoeuvres or perhaps battle tactics. No doubt in laser-sharp, Chiss-precise images. F-14A Tomcat, actually. The day it was retired was a sad day for the United States Navy - A very sad day. Canadian-Piper posted: She then gently left Jagged's bed to face destiny. Heres my issue: This is the second story of yours where Jaina walks out in the middle of the night. If it was the other way around, Jag would be on your list with Jacen Solo. Am I correct?

Canadian-Piper posted: showing that his intelligence is the second smallest thing he has.” Whew. Canadian-Piper posted: And I suggest you cover the bite mark on your neck.” Sound advice. Canadian-Piper posted: Caedus made a choking sound that could have been laughter, Jaina couldn't tell.

	WOW!! This was so powerful. I loved this. It has everything I have wanted to see in the books. I want Jaina to settle down with someone, I want the sith lord inside Jacen to be destroyed, I want a little hope! I absolutely loved that you had Anakin, Anakin ( ), and Mara come to the rescue. Yet another thing I have imagined. The moment between Jaina and Luke was really sweet too. I haven't really read any of the Legacy books, but I have skimmed through them, and I get the impression that Luke and Jaina have really bonded through Jacen's downward spiral to the darkside. This was so beautiful. I really enjoyed it! -----signature----- What might have happened if the reborn Emperor had not been destroyed?

	Jade_Skywalker: That's the beauty of fanfic. We can put everything we want to see in the books in our fics! As far as Invincilble I want Jacen to survive, not Caedus. Even though I know that Kick wants his head on a pole as a warning to others. I think that LOTF whole message is that you must find the light in the darkness. And it's a powerful one, Mando's aside. As far as the Force Ghost thing goes, I find it incredible we haven't heard one word from either Anakin since mid-NJO to now. Absolutely KUBAR. The Skywalker boys were never inclined in life to sit around twiddling their thumbs, I can't imagine they do it in the afterlife. After all, Obi-Wan hung around for years haranguing Luke. And we can't get one flippin' glimpse of actually family who might have something relevant to say about this whole mess..... But I digress... Thank you so much for reading. -----signature----- Team Jag I may not always love the canon, but it amuses me so I read. Sara -- Told you so!

	Okay, I'm finally here. Sorry again Gently she trailed her fingers up his still slick and freshly red-marked bicep. She blushed slightly, remembering the particular "manoeuvre" that had caused that. She softly began to speak, "I am yours and always have been. I won't rest or breathe until once again we are here like this. Until you’re resting here with me." She gently kissed him, being careful not to awaken him with her touch - which she had always been able to do without much effort at all. She then gently left Jagged's bed to face destiny. Jaina turned back at the door, capturing one last image of him in her mind. "I am yours and always will be. Until you’re resting here with me." Aww, very sweet, ladies Dark hair swaying slightly over the scar on his forehead, Jagged Soontir Fel trudged into the Millennium Falcon’s hangar bay – but no matter how he tried he just couldn’t conjure up any enthusiasm. He wore the black garments and cape that had become his trademark; and his freshly shined boots made slight clicking noises on the makeshift floor, the familiar cadence carrying him across the hanger in a matter of moments. For all practical purposes the son of the Imperial Baron looked like the Emperor of the galaxy. But his thoughts were on the previous night that he had spent with Jaina, and her abrupt departure that had left him to wake up alone. He looked at the spot where her X-Wing had been the night before, next to his own, but, now the only companion his ship had was the Millennium Falcon. The fact that the Falcon was still there was a good sign, he calculated, or at least not an overtly bad one – although as he neared the old ship’s boarding ramp he noticed there was a sabacc game in progress. It was a game that Jag could see had the potential for blood, lightsaber clashes and calamitous changes to galactic history. Heh. Loved this whole opening and the descriptions of Jag and the Falcon. That old ship has been through a lot... but she's got it where it counts “Colonel Durasteel, care to join us?” LOL! “No,” Jag grinned, “I’ve just become accustomed to much better looking company.” Oh, SNAP! Kyp just got EmperOWNED. “Come on, Durron," Wedge broke in, "I think you owe my nephew a thank you, seeing as though he eliminated Alema Rar before she could reveal to the holotabloids that she was your mystery lover.” I still think Alema was hawt, even post Tenupe Corran crushed out his cigar and retorted, “See Jag, you have to ignore Kyp when he’s losing at sabacc, which is every time he plays. His typical bad manners and overt delusions of grandeur bleed through more than usual, showing that his intelligence is the second smallest thing he has.” Ha ha! “Don’t disappoint me - I like my credits. And I suggest you cover the bite mark on your neck.” Uh-oh... "I don't have to win, I just have to stop you." Caedus made a choking sound that could have been laughter, Jaina couldn't tell. She was fairly certain her last elbow jab had broken his jaw, just as his last kick had fractured most of the ribs on her right side. He stopped circling and raised a hand, palm out. Crooking his fingers, he beckoned her forward. "Come then." Jaina blew out a breath, rolling her shoulders, switching her saber to her left hand. The movement was often made by fighters as they entered into the fray. In this instance though, it also dropped a short rebar of bes'kar down her sleeve. Letting out a battle yell, Jaina sprang forward, igniting her blade held in her left hand. Her feet briefly touched the ground before she hurtled forward and up, above Jacen's head, her saber blade held aloft. Cadeus grinned madly, his yellow eyes gleaming, raising his red saber up to block. He thrust his blade forward and up, knocking Jaina's violet blade aside. His sickly eyes gleamed in triumph, locked on his sister’s face. Jaina allowed defeat and fear to leak into the Force. She rotated her wrist, sliding the bes'kar into her hand, even as she brought the lightsaber around to slash wildly at Caedus's face. Afterward, she was never sure if the glare from the lightsaber blade or his own hubris blinded him. But she was sure that he never saw or sensed the rebar that made brutal and brief contact with the side of his skull. Caedus swayed and crumpled to the ground. Jaina added a quick jolt of Force energy to make sure he stayed down. For a long moment she simply stared at the battered inert form huddled on the ground before her. Tears welled in her eyes as she whispered, "This is the only way, please forgive me." Wow That was intense. Loved the descriptions of the duel and Jaina's line, "I don't have to win. I just have to stop you." In her distant mind's eye she saw the thundercloud that was Caedus within the Force. Jaina sent tendrils of the light toward the cloud. The first few were absorbed and the cloud seemed to grow darker. She bore down with her will and the Force, redoubling her efforts, ruthlessly pushing aside her own grief, fear and exhaustion. It still was not enough. Great imagery. Jaina drew herself up. "Darth Caedus is gone." She glanced down at the prone form on the floor. "Jacen Solo is under arrest by the Jedi, under orders from Supreme Commander Niathal." She speared the trooper with her best Colonel's glare. "Sedate, restrain and load the prisoner into my shuttle." Jaina waited half a beat. "NOW, trooper." Wow, I didn't see that coming. That was awesome. Was really cool seeing Anakin, Mara, and Anakin Skywalker involved Jaina watched the hover-sled move her sedated twin off toward Cilghal's med-ward. Three days after their fight, the cuts, slashes and bruises she had given him were truly grotesque. Shifting her shoulder, she winced. If her degree of aches and pains were any indication, she probably looked just as bad as Jacen. I hope they have to put him in a mechanical suit. "And if a Jedi doesn't want to be found?" Jaina asked haughtily. "Then I hunt harder, you should know that," he said, his emerald eyes locking with her brandy brown. Hehe. "Marry me." His eyes remained locked on hers. "I don't care what you look like or wear, just marry me." aww Obliging, he tightened his arms more firmly about her. "Forever, if you'll have me." She smiled through sudden tears. Yes, forever sounded just about right. Snuggling closer to him, she opened herself fully to the bond between them. Healing energy and love, warm and familiar poured into her. Basking in it, she smiled sleepily up at him once more. "Forever then," she said softly as her eyes drifted closed. Really great post, PIPER & canadianjedimama! It went in so many directions I didn't expect it to when it started. You wrote an epic song fic! The whole sabacc scene was hilarious, though I did feel bad for poor Kyp Also, it was nice of Kyle to pretend it was actually competitive instead of turning on his Kyle-awesomeness and winning instantly. Seriously though, the jabs back and forth made me laugh And wow, the Jaina/Caedus duel. I love that you didn't kill Jacen. I really hope the LotF authors come up with something really creative like this. Killing him is far too easy an end without some kind of pay off for the series. There was some really good Jaina/Jag stuff in here too, very sweet. You made great use of the song lyrics. I'm not really a Dido fan (don't have anything against her though!) but the lyrics worked really well within the story.

	YodaKenobi: Thanks so much for giving such an indepth review. I wasn't sure you had it in you after the board-winning EPIC post on the Revelation review thread. Would "hates it with the fire of a thousand suns" be an appropriate quote? PIPER wrote the sabacc bit and I almost peed my pants reading it. And as for teh awesomeness that is Kyle....While Holy Katarn does not require friends, per se, he does on occasion allow them. I really want Jacen back at the end of this series. I think that Jaina needs to lay a smackdown of Nomi Sunrider proportions on Caedus. Put him in Sith-rehab, exile him, but don't kill him. Make him work his way back to the light. Back to being a hero and part of his family. Put him in witness protection and have him retrain as the healer/medic that we all thought he'd be at the end of YJK. Jacen Solo, Medicine Man on some Force-forsaken planet beyond the Unknown Regions. I don't know....just don't punk out and kill him, Del Ray. Please. Anyway...end rant....Thank you much for stopping by and giving us a read. It means alot to have such kind words from the guy who pwns Beyond every Friday with Exodus.
