Oh, boo! It's Halloween!
I guess I can't torture you anymore. I guess I can post this thing. *kicks thread wall and puts up post*
Chapter Fifteen
“The Visit to Telti”
Hyperspace had always amazed Ken. It seemed impossible for such a place to exist, but maybe that thought came from living isolated in Yavin 4’s hidden City of the Jedi for the first twelve years of his life. Learning about something from a holo and experiencing it first-hand were two very different things, so maybe that was the reason hyperspace never lost its wonder.
“Enjoying the view?” asked Anakin as he came in the
Probe
’s cockpit and sat in the pilot seat.
“Yeah, I am. What brings you here?” replied Ken.
“I have a question for you. I’ve been wondering this for some time so...” Anakin hesitated as he searched for the right words.
Ken turned toward Anakin and grinned. “Go ahead. Ask me any question you want.”
Anakin looked serious, but then he always looked serious, at least to Ken. “Are you afraid of Palpatine?” he asked.
Ken’s smile faded. He turned and looked at the floor. He never had been asked that question before. It had always been, ‘Do you hate your grandfather?’ or ‘How does it feel having Palpatine for a grandfather?’ but never that question. “No, I’m not afraid of him.”
“You’re not?” said a curious Anakin.
“No. I’m petrified of him. I’m terrified that I might turn into him. No one knows how he came to be so I don’t know how to avoid his path,” confessed Ken.
“Four months ago, I thought I was named after Darth Vader and I knew just as little. How do you cope with it?” inquired Anakin.
Ken turned red and kept his gaze on the floor. “I, uh ‘convince’ myself I’m not powerful.”
“And you do that by how?”
“I let Ladora…” Ken hesitated.
Blast it! This is getting uncomfortable!
But Anakin was able to fill in the blanks. “You let Ladora beat up on you?!” exclaimed Anakin.
“Yes, but you can’t tell her that’s the reason. Understand?” demanded Ken, turning toward him and pointing at him to make sure he understood.
“I won’t say word,” promised Anakin. “Does this have anything to do with what you, Talon and Rene told me my first week on Naboo?”
Ken nodded. “Ladora has this fear of power. If she thinks she is holding any amount of power, she lets it go.” He looked around to make sure no one was around. “That’s why we told you not to mention anything that concerns her and power,” he continued.
Anakin sat back in his seat and sighed. “She really is weird. Why the Force do you date her?”
It was not a question that Ken was suppose to answer, but it brought back memories. Ken sat back in his seat and stared at the lines of hyperspace going by.
He smiled at the memory of how the concept of dating Ladora got started. “I accidentally gave her a necklace,” he said. Whatever Anakin’s reaction was, Ken did not have time to see it. The console started buzzing, indicating it was time to bring the ship out of lightspeed. Ken turned to Anakin and asked, “Would you help me? It needs two to bring the ship out of hyperspace.”
“Uh, sure, no problem.” Anakin shook his head, bringing out of the daze he was in and helped Ken in the process to bring the
Probe
out. Anakin put his hand on one level and waited for Ken’s signal. A red light lit up and Ken nodded, bringing down his own level. The lines disappeared and revealed a small planet…and a fleet!
“What the…?” said Anakin dumbfounded.
“Ladora’s been busy,” said Ken in the same dumbfounded voice.
The cockpit door opened, but Ken and Anakin were both too shocked to turn and look.
“So you like?” asked Ladora.
Ken nodded his head. Anakin turned to Ladora and asked, “How did you do that?”
“Well, Telti is a factory. A droid factory, but, as Dad and I found out, it doesn’t take much to make ships. This has been going on for four months now. My sources have kept it going,” explained Ladora as she exchanged seats with Anakin.
Ken saw this as his chance to find out who these sources were. “They must be pretty good to do this and gather intelligence, too.”
“Yeah, they are,” responded Ladora, but did not reveal the names of these people.
Ladora and Ken brought the
Probe
slowly down to the landing pad. The pad started to move once they had landed the ship toward Telti’s large metal domes. The auditorium in front of them had a door that started to rise. It was dark so Ken could not see what was inside, though he knew what to expect. The pad rolled inside the auditorium and the door closed behind them. As they closed, lights came on and revealed the insides of the dome.
Everyone filed their way out of the ship. Once outside, Anakin looked around. “This doesn’t seem as scary as Uncle Luke said it was when he came here looking for Brakiss,” he commented.
“I think that was further along in the factory,” said Ken. “I think this place was empty when Luke came here and didn’t look like a junkyard.”
“He’s right,” said Lenny. “Ladora and Dad filled this place with junk.”
“It’s not junk!” protested Ladora, from behind. Everyone turned to see her and Chewie come down the ramp. They watched in amazement as she abandoned her tough, angry-at-the-galaxy look and adopted a personality Ken rarely saw. Her eyes behind her eye-enhancers grew wide. Her month became a huge grin. She became almost childish. “Wizard! They got it!” said Ladora, excitedly and ran forward, past her friends. Halfway to the door, she fell to her knees and slid the rest of the way. She collided with a pile of junk next to the door.
Ken covered his mouth to keep from laughing. When he was sure he would not, he turned to Anakin. “You started something,” he said.
“Me?” Anakin looked puzzled. “That wasn’t my fault,” he said, putting his hands to his chest.
“Really?” asked Ken, sarcastically. “She’s been hitting walls ever since your last training session.” Ken walked over to Ladora -- Anakin close behind -- where Rene, Talon, Lenny and the others had gathered to see what all the fuss was about.
Ladora, still on the floor, held up a datapad and read off it: “Found what you were looking for. Found some other stuff, too. Hope you like. JAGD.’ All right!” She got off her back and sat on her knees as she examined the junk surrounded her.
Rene glanced at something that looked like an engine. At least to Ken, it looked like an engine. “What is all this stuff for?” asked Rene.
“A project I’m working on,” answered Ladora as she picked up some round metal thing.
Rene rolled her eyes in annoyance and turned away, bringing her hand to her face and shaking her head.
Anakin picked up the datapad Ladora had dropped and looked at it. “Who’s JAGD?” he asked.
“My sources,” said Ladora, but did not look up.
“Oh,” he looked relieved. “For a second there, I thought it was the Jag I knew.”
“Uh?” asked Ladora and looked up curiously.
Ken searched his brain, trying to figure out why Anakin was confused. In a matter of seconds, he realized the truth and did his best not to panic. Before Anakin could respond, Ken stretched and yawned. “Gee, I’m tired. Maybe we should get some rest, guys. Let’s go,” he said quickly. He walked to the door. He grabbed Anakin by the arm before he could explain his confusion. The others (expect Ladora, who shrugged her shoulders and went back to examine her junk) followed.
Ken closed the door. He did not want Ladora to overhear them because he was sure Anakin would ask questions. Sure enough, Anakin turned, looked at him in confusion and asked, “What’s going on?”
Ken leaned against the door. Everyone stared at him. “You were talking about Jagged Fel, weren’t you?”
“Yeah, I was. Why?” said Anakin, still confused. Everyone else, however, understood.
“Wow! Ken, you averted a catastrophe. You should get a medal!” said Talon.
The Jedi Prince was beginning to wonder if Anakin’s confused look was going to stay. Anakin looked over at Talon and asked, “What’s wrong with Jag? He seems nice.”
“Maybe, but he’s an Imperial. Ladora hates Imperials with a passion,” explained Talon.
“But Jag’s never served in the Imperial Navy and what about Ken? Wouldn’t he be considered an Imperial?” asked Anakin.
“But I never made contact with the Empire. Fel made contact with Admiral Pellaeon, right?” asked Ken.
“Well, yeah…”
“Then, in Ladora’s eyes, that makes him part of the Empire,” said Rene, disapproving at Ladora’s hatred against Imperials.
“But she likes Vader, doesn’t she?” asked Anakin, trying to make sense of the situation.
“Vader was a clone, tricked into believing he was the real Anakin Skywalker and lied to. To Ladora, that doesn’t count,” explained Lenny.
Anakin crossed his arms. He looked angry. “That’s not fair…to Jag or the remaining Imperials.”
“Be that as it may, arguing or bring up the matter with Ladora won’t make it better. In fact, it might make it worse,” said Ken. Anakin uncrossed his arms and looked helpless, but then he nodded. He would drop the matter. “Thanks,” said a grateful Ken. “You know, maybe we should get some sleep. Who knows when we might get the chance again?”
Chewie roared his approval, but asked if they would eat while they were here.
The unease and serious tension that had dominated the group was gone. They started to laugh. Even in the most serious situation, all Chewie could think about was food.

Hiyee!! The next post is written and has been sent to Qwi.
The chapter is eight pages in word.
I don't know how I do it (POW is so short!). I won't post the entire chapter, just the first six pages.
The first post is Anakin and Ladora. I really like torturing Anakin!
I'll leave it at that!
The second post is a combined one. It's all Mara with a little of Luke, Jaina and Leia. The other part is a very short Anakin post. But it's a very revealing Anakin post!
Depending on when I get the post back will determine when they get posted. I'm thinking of posting one next week and the other the week after. I'll decide sooner or later.
See ya soon!

Tonight will start off my Week of Surprises! Since my labtop won’t be nice to me (it believes opening Word is an illegal action), chances are no Christmas post. So all Christmas presents will be this week!
First Christmas present is of course under this. After you reply, scroll down and look above chapter one.
Chapter Sixteen
“Secret Plan”
Sleep had not been kind for Anakin in the three months since his ‘death.’ He always had the same dream; podracing on Tatooine, being rejected by his family and the dream falling apart in the end. He went to bed thinking he would have the same dream, but it turned out he was wrong. He did not have the same dream, as before - it was much worse than before.
Anakin stood in a misty place. He stepped forward and discovered the ground was composed of white sand.
Well, this is odd
, he thought. Anakin continued to walk forward, but the place seemed to go on forever and there seemed to be no one around. Slowly, however, something came into view. It looked like a box at first, but then he realized it was not really flat and there were long tentacle-like things attached to it.
And there were Vong around it.
Must be a new Vong weapon
, reasoned Anakin. There was nothing to hide behind so Anakin kept his distance, but his curiosity of what the weapon was got the better of him and he took a few steps forward.
It was a mistake; the Vong rushed forward. Anakin took out his lightsaber, ignited it and adopted a fighting stance. Lightsaber and staff clashed as Anakin met his first opponent. Anakin brought his lightsaber down to see if he could get the Vong’s legs, but was blocked. He tried for the head and got blocked as well. He went for the middle and connected! The blade sliced through the mutilated body and, to Anakin’s surprise, the Vong disappeared in a puff of smoke.
For a second, Anakin just stood there, not sure what had happened. The next second, he was raising his saber again in defense. He waited for an opening and then took off the new Vong’s legs. This one disappeared in a puff of smoke as well. One after another, the Vong disappeared whenever Anakin made contact with them. At last, the final Vong vanished in the cloud of smoke.
Anakin looked around, holding his lightsaber in front of him in case of another attack. When he was sure there was no longer a threat, he shut off his lightsaber and started toward the strange box. Suddenly, the tentacle things started moving and the box started to rise. Anakin started to run; he had a feeling of urgency. He had to get to that box! He got there too late. The box was too high up to jump to.
Normally, anyway, a Force-enhanced jump could reach the rising box. Anakin jumped, sending the Force into the act, and grabbed the opening. Whatever the box thing was, it had to be alive; it felt alive. He pulled himself halfway into the opening and found a surprise. “Mom! Dad!” In the back of the box laid his parents, unconscious it appeared. Aunt Mara was next to them, unconscious as well. There was only one person moving. “Uncle Luke!” Anakin stretched out his hand. His uncle looked at him oddly.
“Grab my hand,” said Anakin. “We’ll get the others and get out of here!”
Uncle Luke, it seemed, did not appear to be in any hurry. He seemed to be in deep thought. Finally, he took Anakin’s hand. Anakin felt a surge of exuberance. He tried to pull himself inside so he and his uncle could plan a way to escape when something startling, and foreboding, happened. Luke Skywalker pushed his nephew out of the box.
Anakin gazed up at the only thing keeping him from falling to the ground below: Uncle Luke. His face was full of malice and his eyes showed to Anakin the only reason why he was being treated this way.
He had no face.
No! Not again!
He tried to speak, but his voice did not seem to want to work.
Then the unthinkable happened. Luke dropped his nephew. Anakin fell downward to the white sand. He tried screaming, but his voice still refused to work. He hit the white sand and fell through it, falling through a never-ending sky, plagued with sorrow.
“Little One?” a voice said and something somewhere knocked.
Anakin opened his eyes. He was on the floor, tangled in his white sheet. A dream…it had all been a dream. Anakin felt his eyes water, through he did not know if it was from sadness or relief.
“Little One!” called Ladora and the knocking became more hurried.
Anakin grimaced. He hated his Shadow name and hated it even more when Ladora called him by it, which she did often. He disentangled himself from the blanket and got up to open the door. “Yes?” he asked.
Ladora’s face looked concerned. “Are you ok?”
“Yeah, I’m fine,” he said, hoping Ladora had not heard him. The only people who knew he was having nightmares were his grandparents and he would like to keep it that way.
Fortunately, Ladora shrugged her shoulders. “Ok. Come on. I want to show you something.”
Anakin hesitated at first, but then, upon realizing the only alternative would be being alone, thinking of his dream, followed her down the hall. Ladora did not say anything and Anakin did not ask, experience told him Ladora would not answer.
Unbidden, the nightmare Anakin wished to get away from rose in his mind. He found it hard to believe his uncle would throw anyone out of something. No, his dream was telling him something, but what was it? Uncle Luke’s Force sense came to mind. He did not feel the soothing presence that had an air of confidence, which surrounded the Jedi Master. That presence had always brought comfort to Anakin. He could almost feel it now.
“Anakin! Watch out!”
He stopped just in time. He almost knocked into the white ropes that were blocking a door. Anakin walked around them. “Why are they there?” he asked.
“That’s where Luke and Brakiss dueled. Luke’s presence is strongest there so Dad and Mom go there. It’s the closest they can get to him.”
A skull mask rose in Anakin’s mind, Kueller’s mask. He remembered that time. It also explained why he sensed his uncle; he was near a place where Luke had been at one time. A good deal calmer than he was before, he turned and followed Ladora down the hall.
Ladora led Anakin to a room that looked like a larger version of her Naboo lab. He walked over to a table where many vials filled with colorful liquids stood. He looked at a computer, which showed designs of ships, but the language was not Basic. A bar underneath the designs was half filled.
“That’s getting on my nerves,” said Ladora, coming up from behind.
“What is?” asked Anakin.
“The Vong’s database,” she answered.
A slicing machine.
“That’s impressive,” said Anakin, looking again at the half filled bar.
“Not quite, Their database is so large, it’s taking me longer than normal to get info. Also, I can’t read the Vong’s language so I have no idea what it’s saying. I can only guess at the displays.”
Anakin gave her a suspicious look. “So your entire plan is based on guesses?”
Ladora picked up a crystal and studied it. “Investigations are mostly guesses at what’s going on.”
He stared at her, unsure what to say at her lack of planning when an idea came to him. “You know, there is someone who could translate this stuff.”
Ladora put down the crystal and turned to face him. “Forget it! We are not bring Tahiri here.”
“Why not? She knows the language! She could help!”
“It’s too risky! Ion could figure out we have you!”
Anakin tried to argue. The idea of seeing Tahiri thrilled him to no end, but before he could make his point, the crystal Ladora had handled exploded. “What was that?” he asked.
Ladora did not respond. She went over to the table, picked up a broken fragment and studied it. “Well, that’s interesting,” she said finally.
“What is?” asked Anakin.
“This is the crystal we have been using on the Vong. Didn’t know it exploded. Hmmm.”
Anakin stared blankly for a moment. Then his eyes widened. The crystal encased Vong would explode which meant…
I’ve sent who knows how many Vong to their death!
“We’ve got to find a cure!”
Ladora looked at him curiously. “Why?”
“To save them, of course!” responded Anakin frantically. “How long will it take to explode?”
Ladora was still staring blankly at him, as if she wondered why he cared. “Three years,” she said.
Anakin’s panic faded and he gave a sigh of relief. They had time to find a cure.
“Don’t see why you’re worked up about it. Dad won’t be pleased, through. This was his idea. He wouldn’t let me got with my original plan.”
The words were out of his mouth before he could stop them. “What was your original plan?”
A smirk flashed over her face. “I wanted to cut off the Vong’s right hand. I thought it would be fun.” She looked at her own right hand. “I want to cut off mine, but then it wouldn’t be the same if a Sith or Dark Jedi cut it off.”
As Ladora stood turning her hand around, looking at it, Anakin stood speechless. What did you say to someone who wanted her hand cut off? If there was something, Anakin could not think of it. Finally, he spotted something and decided to change the subject. “Um, what’s that?” he asked, pointing to a small vial filled with a green liquid.
Ladora put down her hand (thankfully) and reached up to take the vial. “This? It’s an override chemical. I was going to use it on the voxyns, but you beat me to it.”
“What does it do?”
Ladora smiled. It sent a chill down Anakin. “You inject a blood sample into to the chemical then inject the chemical into the Voxyn Queen. The chemical will override the Voxyns’ natural tendencies and go after whosever’s blood sample was in the chemical. I was thought about of using the Vong for the sample.” Her smile faded. “But it’s untested. I have no idea if it will really work.”
Every topic I talk to her with is worse than the one before
, thought Anakin. Fortunately, Ladora put the vial and said she wanted to show him something elsewhere. As they made their way out of the lab, Anakin stopped and turned back to the table.
The Force was telling him something.
Anakin’s eyes darted from the slicing machine to the shattered crystal and finally rested on the override vial.
Anakin grimaced. It seemed the Force wanted him to take something else of Ladora’s. She had not found out he was using the E-web and he hoped it stayed that way. Reluctantly, he walked over, placed the vial carefully in his pocket and hurried after Ladora.
This time, she led him to a hanger filled with a half-dozen brand-new starfighters. The first things Anakin thought of was a Y-wing and an N-1 starfighter; shaped like the Y-wing, but in the style of the N-1’s. All but three were silver chromed; the remaining three were blue, brown and gold.
“You like them?” asked Ladora.
“Yeah!”
“The factory just started making them. We’ll need more because Dad’s trying to convince Bravo Squadron to join. We’ll use those four,” she said pointing out the different colored ones and a silver one. “But that’s not why I brought you; this is.”
They had walked over to a gun turret. Anakin looked up at it confused. Ladora looked at him and said, “This is a vital part of the plan. Here’s what you need to do.”
A few minutes later, Anakin shouted, “WHAT?”
