	Title: Force Help Us! Author: Alexis_Wingstar Beta'ed by: NYCitygurl (Thanks ) Characters/Pairings: Anakin Solo, Jaina, Luke, Ganner Era: Beyond, Yuuzhan Vong War, several months after the battle of Myrkr Spoilers: N/A Summary: An AU in which Anakin survives the mission to Myrkr, and must convince others that Jacen is alive. Note: This was originally written for the third challenge from the "Writer's With the Force". “He’s dead Anakin!” Jaina glared at her younger brother. “If he were alive, I’d be able to feel it!” “But Mom…” “… Is in a state of denial. None of us are immune to getting killed, you know.” “Jaina, listen to me! I know you had the strongest bond with him, but…” Anakin paused and swallowed nervously as he saw his sister’s stance, looking more like a warrior goddess than the trickster goddess of the Yuuzhan Vong. “Well, I know this may sound crazy, but you know how I got the Vongsense from the lambent crystal? Well, I can sense him.” At Jaina’s dubious expression, he added with more conviction, “It’s faint, but I know it’s him.” “Are you trying to say he was turned into one of them like Tahiri?” “Tahiri isn’t one of them!” He took a deep breath to calm himself before continuing, “I’m not sure what it means, but if there is a chance I’m right, don’t you think we should try to get him back?” “Why don’t you go to Uncle Luke with this?” “It’d be more convincing coming from you.” “I’m not sure I’m with you on this, Anakin. I think we should face the awful truth that Jacen is lost to us. He’s one with the Force.” “No, Jaina,” Anakin’s eyes briefly flared with anger before he took a deep breath and took her hand. “Look at me.” When their eyes met, he continued speaking in a quiet yet intense tone, “I feel him, Jaina. Look through my eyes… like a battle meld.” He did not have to be Force sensitive to know his sister doubted him. What surprised him was the intense need he sensed from her to feel their brother’s spirit. Why is this a surprise? He reasoned to himself. The two of them shared a bond since before they were born. He also felt her doubt was not because she thought he had gone off the deep end, or that he was just wishing for Jacen to be alive. Rather, she was afraid to be disappointed if it turned out to be false… or worse, that Jacen was alive and had been successfully Vongformed as they had tried with Tahiri. As Jaina looked into Anakin’s eyes, his own sense of feeling their brother strengthened through her awareness of Jacen. He smiled slightly as she heard her voice in his head, “Either your insanity is contagious, or I really do feel him!” As one, they felt Jacen struggling with his beliefs, loneliness, and indescribable pain. “Jacen!” She gasped. “Hold on. I don’t know how or when, but we will get you back!” “No, stay away, Jaina! It’s a trap.” Their brother’s presence suddenly disappeared. Anakin and Jaina just looked at each other in shock. “He isn’t dead.” Jaina said with conviction. “I know.” “Let’s go.” “Where?” Anakin followed his sister’s determined gait. “To Uncle Luke, of course.” -- When they arrived at the Jedi Master’s office, they found Ganner Rhysode speaking with the Grand Master. “But, if I’m right, we should try rescuing him.” Without missing a beat, Jaina strode up and leaned both fists against her uncle’s desk. “And while we rescue whomever you’re talking about, we can rescue Jacen as well.” “He’s alive,” Anakin announced behind her as he stood with his arms folded in front of him. Ganner raised an eyebrow in Luke’s direction, but said nothing. Luke frowned. “And how did you find out about Jacen’s survival?” The youngest Solo sibling stepped forward. “I feel him through my Vongsense.” The Jedi Master tilted his head as he considered the implications of that simple sentence. “He isn’t one of them yet,” Jaina interrupted his thoughts. “But, he’s blocking us out. He says it’s a trap.” “Slow down, you spoke to him?” Ganner asked in an incredulous tone. Anakin and Jaina filled them in on what happened before they came to the office. “We have to rescue him!” Their voices chimed in unison as they finished. Luke stroked his chin. “I need to meditate on this. Excuse me please.” “But, Jacen…” Ganner put a hand on Jaina’s shoulder. “… Cannot be saved through rash action. Come on, let’s give Master Skywalker some peace.” He led both Solo teens out of the room. “Thank you, Ganner.” Once the three of them left, Luke closed his eyes to meditate. Not for the first time did he wish visions of the future were not so ambiguous. One never knew what actions could prevent or bring about those visions. One thing he did know was that Knight Rhysode was right. They could not afford to act rashly on this matter. Whatever course of action they took, Luke sensed everything boiled down to balance, and whatever happened here would be the seed for the future beyond this war. “Force help us make the right decision.” To be continued... -----signature----- "Change.

	This is a really interesting take on what could have happened - I hope you continue it! I'm kinda surprised noone's responded to it, as it is unique and well-written. If you do continue it, can you send me a PM? Thanks! ~Jaina -----signature----- Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. But it rocks absolutely, too.

When I continue this, I'll be sure to PM you. Myriad_Daydreams posted: How did I miss this?? Can I be on the PM list for future updates, this looks good! You are now on my PM list. Jade_eyes posted: Superb beginning. I would love PMs with updates, please? Coolest beans that Anakin survives. Thank you. I was always wondering what would happen if Anakin survived... especially with how Jacen turned. I'm figuring Anakin may have made a difference because he always challenged Jacen through the plethora of arguments they had... made him think... but I'm getting ahead of myself. Oh, and yes, you are on my PM list as well. paltonae356 posted: You have me lookin forward to more! Could you shoot me a PM also? I'm looking forward to some more as well. Consider yourself shot. Careful though, PM's can be deadly. -----signature----- "Change. It can be good. It can be bad. It can be expected or come as a thief in the night.
