	For Leia Organa Solo, the daughter of Darth Vader, the former Chief-of-State of the New Republic, and the sister of Luke Skywalker, never had a single moment ever held so much meaning. For one single moment, the pain of Alderaan, the pain of learning of her lineage, the pain of loosing too many friends, and even the pain of loosing her youngest child, all seemed to fade away. For one moment Leia knew true and utter bliss, and it took her breath away. Her twins, her children, were together again, and their presences blurred into a dizzyingly bright web through the Force, molding back into one another like fingers intertwining. She could almost see them sliding back into one another, filling that empty void that had been torturing them both for months and months. And, as one presence, with one voice, her twins reached out for her. Mother! Leia closed her eyes, savoring their touch on her mind, luxuriating in the feel of their presences surrounding hers. She gave them both a deep embrace, willing all of her love and strength into her children. She felt them brush back, then they drew away to focus on their escape, but Leia didn't mind. She was filled with an elation she had not felt since their birth, nearly two decades ago. She sat in a hoverchair by the window overlooking the Mon Calamari ocean, but she wasn't there, not really. Leia was millions of light-years away, watching over her children, keeping a silent, but awed, vigil. The air around her was suddenly warm and bright, and Leia could feel Anakin with her, could almost see her youngest son's smiling face looking down at her. She knew he wasn't there, not physically, but she could feel his spirit all around her. Everything will be okay, Mom, the wind seemed to whisper to her, Anakin's smooth voice flickering into her mind. Everything will be okay. Leia smiled, her eyes shimmering with tears. Yes, everything would be okay. Jacen was alive, and on his way back to her, and Jaina was strong again, vibrant and beautiful, and, though she had not come out and said it directly, planning on a future with a certain charming pilot. And though nothing could ever make her forget Anakin, nothing could ever take away the intense pain she felt whenever she thought of her youngest child, Leia felt at peace. "Han," she whispered, her voice choked with emotion. Across the room, her husband was talking to Lando Calrissian and Wedge Antilles, all three oblivious to her hushed voice or her silent rapture. They were busy discussing strategy and tactics, important plans for the next battle against the Yuuzhan Vong. That meant nothing to Leia right then. The Yuuzhan Vong meant nothing right then. "Han," she said again, this time a little louder. Her husband looked up at her in concern, and strode over to where she sat, kneeling beside her. "What is it, Princess?" he asked, his brow furrowed worriedly. She lifted her chin and met his gaze. He must have seen something in her eyes, because he drew a sharp breath and swallowed hard, his eyes searching hers. "Can you feel them both?" he asked hoarsely, afraid, it seemed to Leia, to hear the answer. Leia nodded. "Yes," she said softly. Han closed his eyes, and she could feel the grateful happiness welling up inside of him. He opened his eyes and looked at her and she tried to speak, to make him understand what this was to her. She tried to think of what to say to make him understand the gravity of this moment, of this revelation, but she couldn't. But when her husband let out a relieved sob and embraced her in his arms, she found that there wasn't anything she needed to say after all. When they seperated, she looked over her shoulder at Lando and Wedge, both of whom were watching them curiously. She stood and smiled at them. "She found him." Both men let out sighs of relief, and it warmed Leia's heart to see their friends genuinely cared about her children. Lando grinned and walked over to kiss Leia on the cheek. "I knew she would," he said with a laugh. He clapped Han on the back. "Kid's stubborn, that's for sure." Han smiled. "Believe me, she gets that from the Skywalker in her." He jerked his elbow at his wife for emphasis. Wedge gave both Han and Leia an apologetic smile. "I hate to say it, but I'll have to figure out some kind of punishment for Jaina. She did take off without permission." Han nodded, a scowl on his face, and Leia didn't need the Force to know that he was looking forward to dishing out some punishment of his own. She placed a hand on his arm and said gently, "Jaina is an adult, Han. You can't punish her for making her own decisions." "Well Wedge can," Han retorted. Leia shook her head, then glanced at Wedge. "What did you have in mind?" "Well, Jaina's an intricate part of our plans, so we can't take her out of action," Wedge said. "And I figure if we did she and Kyp Durron would just run off and fight on their own." Han's lips were set firmly, but Leia thought she saw a hint of a smile tugging at his lips. Kyp had been like a kid brother to Han for a long time, and evern though Kyp had been at odds with everyone as of late, Han was still fond of him. And it had not escaped either of their attention that it was Kyp who brought their daughter back from the dark side, and their daughter who brought out the much needed changes in Kyp Durron. He's enjoying this, Leia muttered to herself. He's enjoying the idea that no matter what Jaina does, no matter what trouble she gets herself into, Kyp's going to be there to help her out. Or to get into trouble with her. It wasn't until that moment that Leia realized she, too, was pleased by that thought. "I think I have an idea that could work," Wedge said with a smile. "As I'm sure you've noticed, your daughter and my nephew have become... close." Leia nodded, and beside her Han winced, but didn't say anything. "It occured to me that perhaps the best form of punishment would be to have Jag fly with Rogue Squadron for a week," Wedge said with a smirk. "It would give Corran a chance to work with Jaina and Kyp on those Force manuevers, and it would give Jag a chance to observe Twin Suns' tactics from an outside point of view." Han grinned. "Plus it would drive Jaina and Jag crazy." Wedge nodded. "Exactly." Han reached out to clap Wedge's shouler. "Wedge, old, pal, I think I like how you think." He took the General by the arm and guided him away from the others. "Now, do you have any ideas for what to do next time I find your nephew's tongue down my little girl's throat? I'm thinking carbon freezing might not be drastic enough." Leia shook her head, stiffling a laugh. -----signature----- "Fight until you can fight no longer, then exhaust the enemy chasing you, and turn and fight some more." -Leia Solo in SbS "Love can ignite the stars..." -RotS novelization "Even the stars die out, Anakin Skywalker..." -RotS novelization

	Thanks everyone I told you I'd get a few more posts up today, and I intend to. So here's the first of them... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You were saying, Jaina?" Jacen glared at his sister. Jaina shot him a dark look. "This is not my fault. It has nothing to do with what I said." They were pressed up against the wall of an alley, only meters from the Jade Shadow. The only problem was that it was surrounded by at least two dozen Yuuzhan Vong warriors, and there would soon be more on the way. "It doesn't matter who said what," Vergere said calmly. "We have only one way off this planet, and we must take it." "How?" Jacen asked. "It's surrounded by Vong." "Yuuzhan Vong," Tahiri corrected without even meaning to. She winced, and looked away for a moment, and when she looked back Jaina was giving her a concerned glance. I'm fine, Tahiri assured her. Jaina nodded slightly, then turned back to her brother. "It doesn't really matter, now does it? Vergere's right. We have to get out of here, and we have to do it aboard the Shadow. Not only is it the only way off this planet." She flashed them a small smirk. "But I'd rather stay here and face the Yuuzhan Vong than face Aunt Mara without her ship." Jacen nodded. "So what do we do, then?" He glanced at Vergere for a suggestion, and Tahiri couldn't help wondering what the deal was with the feathered woman. She was obviously involved in Jacen's escape, and he obviously trusted her a great deal, and it had certainly not escaped Tahiri that Jacen now carried Anakin's lightsaber. A lightsaber which had been in Vergere's possession the last time Tahiri had seen it. Not to mention she's holding Jacen's lightsaber with the finesse of a Jedi Master, Tahiri thought with curiosity. Tahiri tore her gaze away from Vergere and focused on the conversation going on between Jacen and Jaina. "We can't just run up to them, lightsabers swinging," Jacen was saying to his twin. Jaina's eyes flashed. "Why not?" Jacen rolled his eyes. "Because we're not stupid. We do it that way and we all die." "Tsavong Lah wants us alive, laser brain," Jaina retorted, and Tahiri had to stiffle a laugh at the childish insult, one she had not heard since she and Anakin had been at the Jedi Academy together. "We'll be captured, then," Jacen replied. "And Tahiri and Vergere will be killed." Tahiri watched Jaina carefully, wondering what she had in mind, when Jaina turned to her, her eyes bright with adrenaline. "Do you have that stick of maekei ink I gave you?" Tahiri's eyes widened in realization. She fished into her pocket and pulled out the black tube. "Here," she said, tossing it to Jaina. "What's that for?" Jacen asked. Jaina grinned wickedly. "You did hear that I'm a Goddess, right?" Jacen nodded, looking confused. "Yeah, so what?" Jacen asked. "So, I'm going to pull a little rank, here," Jaina replied with a smirk. Jacen stared at her in disbelief. "You can't really expect them to just let you walk onto the ship! They'll capture you right away!" Tahiri rolled her eyes. "No, dummy. She's not going to just walk up to them." Jacen looked at skeptically. "She's going to be the distraction while we fan out around them. Jaina's good with a lightsaber, and they won't kill her. She can handle them while we take them from behind." "A good plan," Vergere said evenly. "I am impressed, Jaina Solo." Personally, Tahiri didn't think Jaina cared whether Vergere was impressed or not, but the older girl didn't show any negative reaction. "Thank you," she said. Jacen frowned. "So what's the ink for?" Jaina grinned and offered the stick back to Tahiri, brushing her bangs away from her forehead. "You'll see." She gestured for Tahiri to go ahead, and Tahiri leaned forward, carefully tracing the stick across Jaina's forehead in the pattern they had gone over. When she was done, she drew back so Jacen and Vergere could get a look at her work. "The mark of Yun-Harla," Vergere gasped softly. Jaina's dark eyes sparkled. "The symbol of the Trickster." Jacen was staring at his sister, obviously uncertain about her plan. Tahiri shook her head slightly. Jacen was going to have to get used to this new Jaina Solo, a Jaina who had lost so much, been to the dark side, and come out stronger and wiser. Not to mention fiestier. "Are you sure this is a good idea?" Jacen asked quietly. "You're provoking their religion and mocking their gods. This is going to infuriate them." Jaina shrugged. "That's kind of the point, Jacen." Seeing his concern, she gave him a weak smile. "It's nothing I haven't done before. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." "I hope so," Jacen muttered. Jaina rolled her eyes, then stood and looked at Vergere. "You take the left, and Jacen can take the right. Tahiri will go down the middle. Hard." She locked gazes with Tahiri, and Tahiri gave her a knowing nod. "Good luck," Jacen said, squeezing Jaina's hand. "Who needs luck?" Tahiri smirked. "She's a Goddess, remember?" Jaina flashed her a grin. "See you out there." She took a step towards the field where the Shadow was docked, when Vergere reached a hand toward her. Tahiri tensed, still not entirely trusting the creature, but all she did was lay a hand on Jaina's arm. "Be careful, young one," she warned quietly. "You are playing with fire. Make sure you do not get burned." Jaina's eyes narrowed and Tahiri felt a whisper of the Force pass between Jaina and the feathered creature. Then Jaina's face settled into an expression of acceptance and she cocked her head sideways and brandished a Solo smile. "I've walked through the fire and come out unscathed haven't I?" she asked, although her tone was anything but cocky. Somehow Tahiri didn't think they were talking about the plan anymore, at least not entirely. Vergere's lips twitched into an amused smile. "Yes, I would say that you have." Jaina nodded, and Tahiri thought she saw genuine relief in Jaina's eyes. "Thank you." Then she was Jaina the Goddess again, and she drew herself up tall, tossed her long, dark hair over her shoulder, and stepped out into the midst of the Yuuzhan Vong. "Step away from my ship, mortals," Jaina's voice drifted back into the alley. And there was a loud snap-hiss as her lightsaber leapt to life in her hands. -----signature----- "Fight until you can fight no longer, then exhaust the enemy chasing you, and turn and fight some more." -Leia Solo in SbS "Love can ignite the stars..." -RotS novelization "Even the stars die out, Anakin Skywalker..." -RotS novelization

	I am on a roll here Wow, not having to go to class or work for a whole summer really gives you inspiration to write Here's post number four for today... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kyp Durron had learned over the years that it was always best to listen to his feelings. And right then he had a feeling that Jaina was about to get herself into trouble. "Why am I not surprised?" he muttered to himself. Reaching out with the Force, he sought out his partner, sending out mental summons for her to answer him. He got a hurried reply, with whispers of danger close by, and then she was gone, tuning him out to concentrate on something else. But he was left with the image of Jacen free and fighting alongside her, and of a location. His fingers danced over his controls before he even realized what he was doing. "Twin Suns," he called to the squadron. "We've got a lock on our Goddess. I'm tracking her as we speak. Just stick close and follow me in." "Is she alright?" Jag asked, and Kyp didn't have to look to know it was over a private line. "For now she's fine," Kyp replied honestly. "But she's in some sort of trouble and needs me to leave her be so she can concentrate right now." Jag didn't answer and Kyp took that for a good sign. At least he wasn't frantic. Or if he is he's doing a good job hiding it. Kyp let the Force take over his actions as he sunk deeper into contemplation. He was uncertain what had happened to Jacen Solo, and in a way he was scared to find out. In the back of Kyp's mind, Jacen's final agony, or what they had believed to be his final agony, still burned fiercely. Whatever Jacen had experienced, it had been horrifically painful, and Kyp would not have traded places with him for anything. I wonder how the Sith he survived, Kyp mused darkly. And another voice, another more selfish voice, wondered, I hope he's not sill that same self-righteous kid he was when I last saw him. Kyp cursed himself silently for thinking such things. The kid had been given up for dead and trapped amongst the enemy for months. The least Kyp could do was try to be nice to him. Besides, that nagging voice belonging to his conscience asked. Are you so certain that Jacen was completely wrong? That startled Kyp, because he had not really given Jacen's philosophies any thought since the boy's death, but now that he thought about it, he wondered. Since Hapes, Kyp's views had changed dramatically, and that was, he knew, mostly because of Jaina Solo. While Kyp no longer believed that the Jedi should fight the Vong by any means possible, he still thought that they should be making more of a stand. Which has been happening more and more, Kyp thought with a nod. Master Skywalker has been working hard to find ways to use the Force to our advantage without giving in to aggression. And Luke's mission to Coruscant only weeks before had proven to be vital. If Lord Nyax had been allowed to live, he would have taken over the galaxies with his awesome dark side power. Kyp had heard the story of his defeat, and he had to admit he was impressed. Not just with Master Skywalker, but with Tahiri Veila. From what Luke had said, the young woman had proven herself against the Dark Lord, and Kyp took that as a testament to how far her skills had come. Maybe I'll ask her to spar with me when we get back, Kyp thought. His thoughts turned to the duel on Mon Calamari, when Tahiri and Jaina had teamed up against him mid-duel to send him flying off the mat, and he added ruefully, One on one this time. "There!" came Tilath's voice over the comm, jolting him back to reality. "Lightsabers! Four of them!" Kyp glanced down out of his cockpit window to see flashes of light on the ground. There was a glimmer of blue, a spark of green, and two pillars of purple violet dancing below. "Someone's fighting down there," Piggy observed. "Jaina," Jag murmured grimly. Jacen and Tahiri, too, Corran called to Kyp silently, and Kyp was glad that he had brought him instead of Zekk. Corran was not only a better pilot, but much more logical and focused. Who's the fourth? Kyp hurled back. You wouldn't believe me if I told you, Corran replied. They broke through the clouds and the battle below came into view. Kyp was dimly aware of Jacen and Tahiri driving back Vong warriors together, of Jaina in the center of a swarm of Yuuzhan Vong, her violet blade ticking back and forth with surreal accuracy, but his attention was drawn to the green lightsaber flashing through crab armor with lightning speed. Fighting alongside the young Jedi, a lightsaber in her hand, was the creature Vergere. And she was using the Force. -----signature----- "Fight until you can fight no longer, then exhaust the enemy chasing you, and turn and fight some more." -Leia Solo in SbS "Love can ignite the stars..." -RotS novelization "Even the stars die out, Anakin Skywalker..." -RotS novelization
