Leia had left the room and Danni couldn't believe that she had gone against Master Stal. It was not like her to go against a higher ranking Jedi, but she would not let her husband die.
She had to hide her thoughts when she "said" that. No one knew. It had been a secret ceremony performed by Harken Greir. But the truth would have to come out soon enough because she was with child.
Focus, Danni. Focus she thought to herself.
"...and that is why I have decided to vote against sending any more Jedi to this planet to rescue people who defied orders and went there," she heard the end of Brin Kr'yla's speech. He was a Bothan who always had to get on Kerph's good side. He never disagreed with Keprh. He had no mind of his own.
It was her turn. She cleared her throat and began,"Three years ago, Jedi Master Luke Skywalker felt a disturbance in the Force. One he would feel for the rest of his life. One that would kill him. You can not ignore that this disturbance killed him. You can not sit here and pretend nothing happened because sooner or later this disturbance, whatever it is, will come for you. Jacen Solo, my husband," Oh it felt so good to get that off her chest,"has gone to Colacca in search of answers to what this dark disturbance is. He is willing to risk his life to save all of you, the people who let his uncle, and the greatest Jedi ever to live, die. And if we do not help him, he will die and then this disturbance will move on and come after us. And destroy us. But had we listened to Master Skywalker we could have been able to stop it, but we didn't and he was killed. Now is our chance to redeem ourselves for the wrong we did by not listening to him. And that is why I vote yes, we should go to Colacca and help stop this new threat."
Only Accolami, a wookiee, had roared his agreement, the rest spoke of how they had defied the Council. How they had disobeyed a direct order. All they cared about was power and that would be their downfall.

Jacen was clearing up the camp when he felt a familar presence, "Anakin!"
Jacen ran and greeted his brother. Anakin gave his brother a quick embrace and did the same to his aunt, "I found the Falcon, it was practically destroyed. Mo'bi was no where in sight."
Mara gave a brief nod, "I am going to search for clues, on my own. Jacen I am taking your ship. You and Anakin take mine."
Jacen tried to argue, "Aunt Mara, that is not such a good idea..."
Mara snapped, "I do not ask for your council Jacen. I am not going to allow what killed the love of my life kill my son as well. My ship is well stocked, it has all you need as well as a droid. May the force be with you."
Before either of her nephews could say a word, Mara was in Jacen's ship, and in moments it was ready for take off.
Jacen and Anakin watched it leave and decided they should meditate. Maybe the force would tell them the way to go.

Mara searched for days looking for any sign of Mo'bi. There was none. She had given up hope and was headed back to find Jacen and Anakin.
She came upon a clearing and slowed down. She decided to rest. She got out of the ship and noticed a tree had fallen, but the cut looked like that of a lightsaber. She noticed a rock that had scorch marks on it.
There had been a lightsaber battle here.
Mo'bi where are you?, she called out to him through the Force.MO'BI!
There was nothing. Mara sat down by the rock and cried as she realized her son was dead along with his father.
**************************************
Jacen and Anakin were getting nowhere. They had traveled all over this planet and found nothing. They were coming up on a city that they decided would be their last stop.
They parked the ship on the outside of town and walked towards the settlement.
They walked through the city looking for something that might help them.
"Hey! You!" someone called out.
The older man walked towards them.
"Yes?" Jaccen asked.
"You carry a weapon like the other man. Do you know him?"
"What other man?"
"Some great Jedi...I think he said his name was Skywalker. Yes, that was it. Luke Skywalker."
This man knew Uncle Luke? This could be the clue we have been searching for, Jacen thought to himself.

Anakin looked at the man and said, "He was our uncle. He died recently, we are looking for clues that might help us find his murderer."
The man looked thoughtful, "Maybe I can help you. Master Skywalker came here looking for clues.About five years ago Him and another man, name was...was...I can't recall. But it had to do with being alone..."
Jacen said in an excited voice, "Solo?"
The man nodded, "Yes, that was it. Solo. Well five years ago they were both here looking for clues. Then Master Skywalker came back recently, looking for more clues. Found them too, he said he was headed for Tattooine."

"Luke, come back to me. Please. Without you, I'm not ok. I've lost my way. And now Mo'bi is gone too. What am I supposed to do? How do I go on?"
"Shhh. It will be alright Mara." was that Luke's voice?
She looked around. Nobody was there.
"I shouldn't feel sorry for myself. I hae to pull myself together."
"Mara, you have to feel the pain when you lose the love you gave someone."
"Luke?" Mara asked."No it couldn't be."
Her eyes were filled with tears. Something flashed. On the ground. What is that? It's a data disk.
She picked it up and went back to the ship. She stuck it in her datapad. It looked like it had belonged to whatever killed Mo'bi. It had the location of the being's quarters. Tatooine.
"So that's why Luke was buried there. He was trying to tell us something. I will have revenge for his death and Mo'bi's."
"Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny."
Once she heard that, she realized that she had only been hearing Luke inside her head. And she no longer cared if he would approve. She would have revenge on this dark warrior who took her family from her.

Lord Arduos was contacting his Master. Mo'bi decided to listen.
"Have you taken care of the boy?" the voice seemed familiar, but he had heard it before he was captured by Darth Arduous. Strange.
"Master, he is immune to the poison in his food."
"Then kill him in his sleep."
"I will not kill someone who is not expecting it."
"Then have a duel to his death. You must return to Colacca immeadiately. The Jedi are getting closer to discovering us. You must not let that happen."
"Yes Master."

Anakin was having trouble absorbing all of this, "So you mean whatever killed Dad, killed Uncle Luke and then went after Mo'bi?"
Jacen nodded, "Yes, and we are now targets as well."
Anakin nodded, "and Danni?"
Jacen shrugged helplessly, "I am hoping because we kept our marriage a secret, she will be safe. But I am not so sure anymore."
Anakin clasped his brothers shoulder, "Then I suggest we get to Tattooine. We will find what we are looking for and then you can return to Coruscant and be with your wife."
Jacen and Anakin entered Mara's ship and readied it for take off. Anakin then asked quietly, "What do you think we will find on Tattooine?"
Jacen thought for a moment and answered, "I don't know."

Mo'bi was training out in the desert heat of Tatooine. He had only found out two days ago that he was on Tatooine. He was reaching the cliffs.
As he got closer to the bottom he used the Force and leapt into the air as high as he could. Barely grasping on to the lledge, he cut his hand, from under his pinky almost done to his wrist. It was rather deep.
He quickly pulled himself up and called out to his new master, to tell him to bring a first aid kit.
In return, there was only silence. This was a test to see how Mo'bi could survive on his own.
Blood was gushing from the wound. Spots started appearing everywher and Mo'bi was becoming lightheaded. He had to apply pressure. He dropped to the ground. He was so weak his legs could no longer hold him.
He began taking deep breaths. He was able to use the Force to numb the wound and found a needle and thread in his backpack. He sewed it up and cleaned it off. It felt better, but it was still throbbing.
Dammit!, Mo'bi thought to himself,how will I be able to perform my task efficiently with this wound?

Three days had passed since Mo'bi had cut his hand. It still hurt. He remembered Arduous once telling him that he had to let his pain become anger.
Mo'bi felt a familiar presence.
Mom?, he thought. Oh, no! She'll ruin my whole plan!
***********************************
Mara landed in during the cold night. She was near the old palace of Jabba the Hutt. She remembered her time spent there and glared at the place. She hated it.
She had to find this dark warrior, but the search would wait for later. She had somewhere to go.
*****************************
She stepped into the temple and saw the raised platfrom in the middle. She wished now that she would have come to Luke's funeral pyre, but she knew she hadn't been emotionally strong enough to say good bye.
She felt now that she was. She sat there for a little while, staring at the place where Luke's body had been burned.
"I love you so much, Luke. I don't know how I will survive without you, but I will find a way." She sighed,"Good bye my love."
She looked out the window just across from the platform and for the first time noticed an odd building.
What's that place? It looks dark. That is what Luke was trying to tell everyone. That is the dark warrior's domicile.
And that is where she would be heading, tomorrow.

Mo'bi panicked a little. If his new Master found out his mother was here, he would kill her. Mo'bi did not think he could handle that. His father was already dead, he could not lose his mother too.
He had to figure out a new plan.
--
Anakin and Jacen were about one day away from Tattooine. It would be strange going back. It was where their uncle grew up, it was where their father was imprisoned by Jabba the Hutt. It was also the place where the birth of the new order took place. Obi-Wan was the old, and he brought out the new with Luke Skywalker.
Luke Skywalker, not the last Jedi, but the first of the new. Now there were hundreds of Jedi in the galaxy, but all with their own agenda. Jacen hoped that the council would some day bring forth a sense of order in the chaos. But that day did not seem to be in the near future.

Danni Quee-Solo sat in her private quarters in the Jedi Temple, staring out at the giant city planet called Coruscant, thinking to herself.
What will happen once the baby arives? What would be Jacen's reaction when he found out that he was going to have a son? She had felt through the Force that it was a son. Would Jacen even be alive. It had been a month and a half since he had left on this little mission.
She was beginning to worry if he would ever return.
******************************
Jacen and Anakin entered the atmosphere of Tatooine and immeadiately felt a dark presence. They landed as close, to the area it was coming from, as they could without causing a distraction.
Someone was approaching from the opposite direction of the building. They were on a speeder and heading for them, or the building, fast.
"Do you think it is the person that killed Uncle Luke?" Anakin asked.
"Not likely, they would have sped up and tried to stop us from reaching the domicile, but this being has remained at a constant speed."
Jacen pulled out the electrobinoculars and zoomed in on the figure as close as he could, but he still couldn't make out who it was.
He had lied to Anakin. He didn't want Anakin to worry. It was quite possible this was the person who killed their uncle.

A knock on the door brought Danni out of her daydreaming. When she answered it, it was the last person she expected to see.
"Master Kerph," she asked surprised, "What can I do for you?"
Kerph gave her a smile, "I have come to see how you are holding up. I am worried for you."
Danni was suspicious, "Thank you, but I am fine, really."
Kerph nodded, "I am confused though, why is it that your marraige was in secret?"
Danni shrugged, "It was the will of the force I suppose."
Kerph replied, "Are there any other secrets, Danni Quee-Solo."
Wrapping herself in the force, Danni answered, "No, now if you would excuse me."
Kerph took the hint and left a very uneasy Danni alone in her quarters.

Mara's speeder was pressed to the limit and it still wasn't going fast enough for her. She saw that ship was landing in between her and the building. She hoped it was the warrior. She wanted to get to him as soon as possible, so she could tear him apart.
Mara, you've changed.
"Luke?" Mara whispered. She shook the thoughts out of her head. She was going to get this warrior.

Once I reach the building, I will go inside and find who ever this warrior is and duel him to the death. Then I will collect his artifacts and take holos to prove the place is real. Then I will blow it up. Go back to the Council and accuse Kerph of ignoring a Jedi's request for help and demand that he be removed from his position. Then I will take his place as leader of the Council and lead the Jedi like Luke would have wanted.
But Mara, she heard Luke's voice again, if you kill this dark warrior out of revenge you will be no where near capable of leading the jedi how they should be. You will be farther from it than you are now.
Luke isn't here anymore, Mara. Get him out of your head.
Mara, I am here. Listen to me. You can't do this.
Luke, I have to.
********************************
The speeder was approaching. It was close enough now that Jacen could make out who it was. It was Aunt Mara. What was she doing here? Had she followed them?
It didn't matter, he wouldn't let her near the building. He had to protect her from whatever that warrior was.
