Kerph smiled at Danni, "Well Milady, it has been decided, how soon can you be ready to leave?"

Danni felt a chill, but shook it off, "I will be ready in one hour."

Danni got up and left the council room, all of her senses were screaming at her not to go, but her heart was screaming at her to go, Jacen, I am coming.

Stepping out into the hallway, Anakin and Mo'bi went to Danni, Anakin asked, "Well?"

Danni took a breath, "It has been decided that Kerph and I will go..."

Anakin interuppted, "I don't like that. I promised my brother that I would watch out for you..."

It was Danni's turn to interupt, "I appreciate that Anakin, but my place is with Jacen. Trust me on this."

===============
An hour later Danni met Kerph at the ship they were to use, Danni looked around, "Where are the pilots?"

Kerph smiled, "Oh, no need, I am an excellent pilot, I will fly us there. Now come aboard, and make yourself comfortable, you are my guest, you will not life a finger on this trip."

Danni entered the ship, a little uneasy at how nice Kerph was being. But she strapped herself in and in minutes they were in hyperspace.

Jacen spent his time searching the domicile. But lately his thoughts began to drift, and think about Danni. He remembered their wedding day.

She had looked so beautiful in the white gown. It had been designed by one of his mothers dress makers, Nibor. Not many had been present. Only his mother and father, Anakin, Jaina, and Mara and Luke. But it had been a wonderful day, even if they couldn't share it with the rest of the galaxy.

The music began. Danni was at the end of the small aisle. She took a step forward, and then another, and another. It seemed like she would never reach Jacen. He stood there calm on the outside, but completely terrified, joyous, scared, and happy on the inside. Next to him, performing the ceremony, was, fellow Jedi and friend, Harken Greir.

Finally, Danni had made it. The music stopped.

"We are gathered here today to perform the uniting of Jacen Solo and Danni Quee. They met and fell in love. And together decided they wanted to be joined by the Force in Holy Matromony."

Jacen looked at Danni. She was truly a vision of beauty. They sat on their knees across from each other. This is the part where they confess their love to one another.

"Danni, I love you with all of my heart and soul. I loved you before I met you. If I ever lost you I don't know what I would do. And if you ever left, I would go and find you and bring you home because you'd be wrong."

"Jacen, There are a million things I want, but only one thing I need. And I know life is a big dangerous thing. And it's stronger and smarter and sneakier than us, but I will always love you. Don't ever doubt that."

They closed their eyes. Now they would be united in the Force. It was a strange feeling and hard to describe. But it felt wonderful and scary and exciting all at the same time.

Suddenly the vision of the past changed into something terrible from the future. It was Danni, but she was laying lifeless. Sliced by a lightsaber. Straight across her stomach.

Jacen was on his knees, holding Danni in his arms and crying. The Sith had destroyed his life. And now, he couldn't take it anymore. He brought the hilt of his lightsaber to his head and prepared to ignite it.

"Jacen! Stop it!" it was Danni's voice. "I love you. I will always love you. Don't ever doubt that, but if you do this I'll have to love you a lot less. Taking one's life is not the Jedi way. You, you were lucky. You survived the Sith. You have to lead the Jedi to a time of peace."

"But I can't go on without you, Danni. The pain hurts too much."

"Jacen, it doesn't have to end this way."

Jacen shook the terrible thought from his head. He had to keep searching for clues as to who this Sith Master was. He felt that he knew who the Sith was, but he needed to find some concrete evidence.

*Puts boxing gloves away.* Thanks for editing Senator.
Hope you are all enjoying the story.
============================================

Jacen told himself that he would find the clues needed and that Danni would not come to any harm. He could not lose her, he wouldnot lose her. Always in motion the future is. That is one lesson he is glad to have been taught. He was glad that his brother was going to look out for her.

He then came to a wall at the end of a hallway, it was a strange place for a hall to end. Reaching out with the force Jacen found that the hall did not end at all, but the wall was moveable. It led to a secret room. Inside the room, Jacen felt a chill like he never felt before. The room was pure evil. Placing his hand on the hilt of his weapon, Jacen looked around. There were old books. A quick glance determined that the books were actually ancient texts about the history of the Sith.

At the front of the room was a platform, and on the platform was a chair, more like a throne.

Jacen then was certain, this is where the sith would come.

=============================================

Danni was lost in her thoughts, she missed Jacen terribly. She wanted him to come home, and tell him the good news. The Solo/Skywalker families definatley needed some good news. And a baby was good news, wasn't it? As thrilled as Danni was, she was also apprehensive. Would her children have to fight for peace in the galaxy as well. Her child was going to be strong in the force, she had sensed it. But what if it was true, and the Sith were revived?

What would the consequences be for her family, her child, and the galaxy?

Darth Deleterious sat in his cramped quarters aboard his ship and thought about the recent events.

His apprentice had been killed and the Council knew of the Sith. Things were not going well. For this he would have to kill Jacen Solo. He despised all Jedi, but even moreso if they had the last name of Skywalker or Solo.

He hoped he would reach Tatooine before Jacen Solo found the secret room with all of his important things in it. The Sith teachings. Books with various plans on how to wipe out the Jedi. But most importantly, his personal book telling how he found his apprentice and his plans to destroy the Solo/Skywalker family.

****************************

Jacen found a book that caught his eye. It didn't sit near the rest and it looked newer than all the others. He picked it up. He opened the first page and began to read:

Today, I have decided to leave everything that I have been taught behind and take on a new form of education. I will train myself in the ways of the Sith. I found a temple on the desert world of Tatooine.

It looks as if it had once been a secret lair to one of the original Sith. Maybe even Darth Bane.

Jacen skimmed through it and found an entry about the Sith Aprrentice:

Nawe Lewot. That is the name of the boy I have chosen for my apprentice. I took him from Corellia.His Sith name will one day be Darth Arduous. I chose him this name because I will train him to be so great that it would be very hard to overcome him.

I chose my own name. Because I had not had a master. Darth Deleterious. Because I am harmful in an unexpected way. The Jedi would never suspect me. And I will be able to wipe them out, easily.

Jacen kept looking. Two entries disturbed him. One called Skywalker and the other Solo.

He looked at Solo. There was a list of names and under each name was about a paragraph. He began reading:

Han

Pay $20,000 credits to Ebas Olac. Shot Solo in cantina brawl. Han got to close to finding out where we are stationed.


Leia

Pay $25,000 credits to Nibor Renrats. Puts poison in Leia's dresses that seeps into her skin and will eventually kill her.


Jacen

No plans at this time.


Jaina

Hire someone to join Rogue Squadron with her and gain her trust. Then kill her. Pay $15,000 credits.


Anakin

Corrupt a Jedi padawan and make sure he becomes their master. Then have him kill Anakin.

The next entry scared Jacen, but he read on:

Danni

Get her to trust me and when she is finally comfortable with me kill her.

Jacen knew now that the Sith Lord was someone they knew, but who was it?

Danni sat in her cramped quarters aboard Kerph's ship. It was a strange looking ship, not one that she would expect a Jedi to have, but Kerph was always a little different.

She was thinking about the future. Her and Jacen's future. Her son's future. Once they reached Tatooine, she didn't know what would happen. What if the Sith MAster had already gotten there? What if Jacen was dead? What if her and Kerph weren't strong enough to destroy him?

All of these thoughts raced through her head. She couldn't believe she had agreed to come on this mission for two reasons: Kerph was coming and the baby could come any day now. Luckily, she hadn't gotten very big and could hide it with her cloak and loose fitting clothes. But one reason kept her from passing on the offer: She was going to see Jacen. She couldn't wait, only one more day left.

A knock on her door interrupted her thoughts.

"Come in," she called.

"I was going to fix myself something to eat. You want anything?" Kerph asked.

"Sure, I'll be in there in a second," Danni answered.

Kerph left heading towards the dining area.

Why is he being so nice to me? Danni thought.

***************************

Anakin and Mo'bi had gone before the Council once more and pleaded with them to let Jacen once again be Mo'bi's master. They convinced the Council that Jacen had saved the Jedi from possibly being wiped out and the Council granted their request.

Now, Mo'bi was back at his Aunt's. In the past few days she had become very ill. Many visitors had come to see her. Come to say good-bye. They thought she was in her last days. Many Jedi, senators, politicians, smugglers. She had known all the various kinds of people in the galaxy.

He sat quietly in her room with Anakin and Jaina.

"I love you all so much," she told the three of them. "Tell your brother I love him," her words were barely whispers. She closed her eyes and drifted into a deep and final sleep.

Suddenly, Jacen grabbed his chest. He had to sit down. Something terrible had happened. What was it? His mother had died.

The Sith had now taken his mother, too. This killing had to stop before all the Jedi were wiped out.

I will have my revenge, Jacen thought to himself. No. I wouldn't let Mara kill in revenge, I have to keep myself from doing the same.

Jacen sat in the Sith Lord's throne and wept over the loss of another family member. He didn't know how much more of this he could take. He had to stop the Sith.

****************************

Danni felt something was wrong. She feared Jacen had been killed, slaughtered by the Sith.

They would be landing soon and hopefully, she would be able to run into Jacen's arms and tell him she loved him and never let him leave her side again.

*****************************

Darth Deleterious would be landing in a few short minutes. He sat at the controls of his ship and slowly brought her down to the ground. It was an odd ship, didn't look like one a Sith would own, but then again, he was always a little different.

Jacen got himself together and kept looking for the evidence he needed to back up his suspicion. He picked up the journal-type book again and began to read it:

I have obtained a position of great power in the Republic. With it, I will be able to destroy the Jedi once and for all. Every last one of those damn Jedi will die at my hands!

They will never suspect me. They trust me too much.

"I can't believe I never realized it before."

**************************

Kerph had gained Danni's trust over the past couple of days. He wasn't the "always follow the code" sort of guy she had thought he was. He was kind and gentle. He cared about her feelings and had even promised her that Jacen wasn't dead, yet. And that there was hope of them saving him.

She had even confided in him about the pregnancy. She hadn't told anyone yet. Not a single soul, but she felt she could trust him. He was a good friend.

Hey everyone.

I am thinking this story will end sometime this weekend. I know it was short, but I am planning a prequel called Dark Discovery. It will show Luke's search, which will be much more detailed than Jacen's. And it will show how Han and Luke died. eek.gif mad.gif

Jedi Princess will again join me, if she wants and I hope all of you like it.

The ship landed and Kerph came out of the cockpit, "Are you ready Danni? I am sorry, but I had to land a distance away from the fortress. I hope that will not prove difficult for you."

Danni stood up and felt her baby moving around furiouslyl, "No, I will be fine." They stepped off the ship and Danni fell into step beside Kerph. He seemed to know his way there. But Anakin gave excellent directions.

In two hours they were at the fortress. Danni was feeling tired and uncomfortable, something was not right. She slowed down when they reached the entrance, but Kerph opened it with the air of someone who had been there before.

Danni hesitated, and Kerph turned around and asked, "Are you coming?"

Danni jumped and then recovered quickly, "What? Oh, um, yes."

She followed Kerph, Danni grew uneasy. Kerph walked the darkened hallwall as though he knew it. Danni did not like this at all. They walked down a long hallway that stopped dead.

Danni asked, "Why are we here?"

"I know why you're here," came from behind them.

Danni turned around,"Jacen!"

"Danni get away from him!"

"What?!" she asked, confusion enveloping her thoughts.

"Did you think I wouldn't figure it out? Huh? Did you think you would get away with it? Did you?" Jacen asked, his voice filled with fury.

"So, you have completed your little search for truth. Too bad it has to end this way. Your wife and baby dying together." Kerph said. He pulled out his magenta saber, which now that Jacen looked at it seemed more red.

"NO!" Jacen screamed as he closed his eyes. He focused all of his energy, determined to make this to work. Jacen was using his years of Jedi training to call on an inherently dark Force power, electric judgement.

It is rarely used for good and only true masters of the Force can wield it precisely. He had read about it in one of the Sith books, and saw that it could also be used for good, but if it were to go awry, he could be turned to the dark side.

Lightning scattered evrywhere and knocked darth Deleterious into the secret room, away from Danni.

Jacen opened his eyes. He had done it. He had saved Danni and their son.

"You were right, it didn't have to end that way," Jacen said, almost a look of excitement on his face.

"What way? How did you know Kerph was the Sith?" Danni asked, still dazed by the suprised of it all.

"I'll explain later, we have to stop him,"Jacen said as he saw the Sith Lord rising to his feet.

Yes, Rebel Mom, you were right? Is anyone else reading? LOL
=============================================

Danni put her hand on her lightsaber, and Jacen shook his head, "No! It is to dangerous. I would not be able to stand it if anything happened to you."

Danni looked at her husband, "Like I would be able to stand it if anything happened to you?"

Jacen knew it was pointless to argue, he could only protect her the best he could, "Stay behind me."

Kerph paced back and forth, and Jacen walked forward to meet him. Peace over anger. Peace over anger. Jacen repeated that lesson over and over in his head.

It was a lesson that was drilled in his head from his earliest days as an initiate. Now he knew why. He now knew what it was like for the Jedi before him who had faught the Sith. Some had lost, Qui-Gon Jinn. Some had won, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Some were able to turn the enemy to the light, Luke Skywalker.

Jacen knew that there was no chance of turning Kerph back to the light. This would be a duel to the finish. Only one would walk away.

Parry for parry, Jacen matched the Sith Lord, who only goaded, "Impressive, your Uncle taught you well, if only he taught you the true power of the force."

Jacen shot back, "He taught me enough, he taught me that the true power in the force was in the light. I will not dishonor his training to me."

Kerph pondered this, all the while slashing away at the Jedi. Danni stood on the steps watching, silently she said, That's it Jacen, you are doing well. Do it for me, do it for your son.

Kerph then realized that something had to happen to break Jacen if he were to defeat him. Using a deadly force push, Kerph pushed Jacen down. Danni let out an anguished shout and ran down the stairs. Which was what Kerph wanted all along.

As Danni reached the bottom, Kerph used another force push, this one harder then the one he used on Jacen.

Jacen's heart almost stopped, his blood ran cold as his wife's slight frame went flying into a wall and slumped into an unmoving heap.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO", Jacen screamed. Immediatly Jacen jumped to his feet and ignighted his weapon again, his thoughts screaming, Not Danni, I can't lose Danni! I can't lose our son. Please, not her too.
