No sequels. I'm done after this, unless I have a story completely done before the first post.
A new chapter will come sometime this week. I had to re-arrange a lot and need to tie it together now.

Oh No! Please NO!

Take as long as you need. We waited four months so we can wait longer if that's what you need.

I'm aiming for a new post, tonight. 
The last few weeks were somewhat difficult in the concentration department, but that's passed. Arrangements and such have been made to deal with the personal stuff, and I wrote a bit last night, for the first time. That went pretty well, so look forward to a new chapter.
Eld.

One more after this and it'll be finally over.
*****
--==CHAPTER 49 – “Endgame”==--
It was dead silent on the bridge of the Inimitable, while seconds ticked away. All present were watching every move the Predictor was making. A few officers tried to anticipate her next action but the white Star Destroyer simply… hung there. It did not move, save for her inertia; the engines had been brought to a full stop.
She slowly drifted toward the Inimitable but she did not open her guns. Not a single missile shot from her launching tubes.
Matters on the starboard side couldn’t have been more different; Jag’s squadron had managed to breach both shield domes on the Allegiance, making one of them explode on the first pass because of a shield overload by the sheer volume of missiles, and the second followed soon after. Currently, he led his squadron, or the remainder of it, on a run to the command tower of the destroyer. His squadron had been severely hit; the second pass had cost him ten fighters, as the Star Destroyer fought back.
Finally giving up all pretence of control, her guns had opened fire wherever a gunman saw his chance, following an erratic command from a hastily promoted captain that panicked under the pressure.
In effect, that structure of orders, being the “fire at will” command, cost the defenders dearly.
But even if the sacrifice was heavy, it eventually paid off; spouting flame and oxygen, mixing it to a yellow-blue stream of fire, the Star Destroyer sank its nose downward and out of the fight. Even Inimitable’s belly guns could fend her off in that way. Every second or so, a few lances of laserlight sprang from the Star Destroyer to its much larger counterpart, which in turn answered with a plethora of return fire in comparison.
**********
“What is that other Destroyer waiting for?” Jag said to himself aloud, frowning. He commed the Inimitable, repeating the question to Han.
“I have no idea, kid. An early sunrise? Rhyscakes? Who knows? All I know is that someone has actually started to think over there and I’ll take it any way I can get it. We’ll find out soon enough, I guess.”
Not a minute later, a crisp male voice addressed the Inimitable.
“Super Star Destroyer Inimitable; this is Imperial Star Destroyer Predictor. I wish to speak to your Captain.”
“You got him. What can I do for you, captain…?” Han answered, sending a frown to the others.
“Wehka, Sir. Captain Wehka. I am afraid this is becoming somewhat of a repetitive game. You’ll remember perhaps a previous encounter between us, in the asteroid system, where I took command of the Validator?”
At that, Han frowned even more and shook his head but Booster Terrik made an acknowledging sound.
“Ah, yes. I wondered why his voice sounded so familiar. You weren’t in on that conversation, Solo. Care to let go of the reigns for just a little bit? Let me talk to this fellow. Somehow, I think he pulled the same stunt again. He’s quite good at saving his own hide, it appears,” he smiled.
Han made a ‘be my guest’ gesture, glancing at Leia, who shook her head as well.
“Wehka, this Booster Terrik.”
It stayed silent for a small while. Then the crisp voice came back, sounding amused.
“Captain Terrik. Yes, your voice sounds familiar.”
“As does yours, kid. So… did you ehr… feel the need to repeat the same stunt again, Captain Wehka?”
“I am afraid so, Sir. I once again offer you the same as last time; I will order all Imperial ships to stand down and return to station. Will you allow us this one more time?”
Booster looked at the others, who all, in unison, shook their heads. He sighed.
“I’m afraid I can’t, not this time, son. I can accept your surrender but I cannot let you go. Too much is at stake here.”
After a thoughtful few seconds, Captain Wehka replied. Strangely enough, he did not sound defiant.
“What are the terms of surrender?”
“Stand down, for now, and allow our people to board,” Han spoke up. “And this is Han Solo, in case you were wondering.”
“Captain Solo…” a surprised reply came. “An honor, Sir. Will you allow me some time to confer with my colleagues?”
“Five minutes.”
“It’ll take less than that, Sir.”
“I’ll take your word for it,” Han replied, dryly. “Solo out.”
**********
Captain Wehka kept his word; it took under two minutes. Then he contacted the Inimitable again, offering the surrender of all Imperial forces in the system. A few skirmishes still took place, mainly on the other side of the system where Baron Fel commanded the rest of the fleet, as stoic Imperials refused to give up, but after a few hours, that threat was subdued.
In the meantime, Booster Terrik had taken several of his men and headed for the Predictor, to take temporary command of the Impstar-X, and in the next hours, a steady stream of boarding ships had risen from the surface of the planet, taking over the leftovers from the Imperial assault fleet.
As it was all happening, Han Solo stood close to the giant forward viewport, Leia close beside him. He sighed deeply and wrapped an arm around her shoulders, pulling her against him.
“When will it ever end?” He asked softly. “I’m getting very tired of this.”
“I know. One day it will be all over but it probably won’t happen in our lifetime. All we can do is try to make it easier to get there for the future generations of Solo’s.”
They silently watched the action outside for a while, eventually turning away from it all, to head back to the plotting table. There was still a lot to do.
Then Han suddenly halted.
“Where is Jaina?”

The last stretch is hard, though... it'll be romantic and I'm absolutely not in such a mood. But it'll have to be romantic; you guys signed on for that in the firs tplace, it's after all a JJ fic.
I'll see what I can do about wrapping this all before midnight; ending this year and this fic.
Eld.
EDIT: *snort* Okay, that went well.
I haven't had any chance or will to write the last part but I'll try to finish it this week.
