Darkness Returns


Disclaimer: Own these characters I do not. Created they were by George Lucas. Making no money off this story am I, sue me you shall not.

Genre: Romance, adventure, action
Mainly a romance at the beginning, the action starts later on.

Time Frame: 3 years after Crisis at Crystal Reef. Jacen, Tenel Ka, and Jaina are 18. Zekk is 20.
This is my old story that I started a while back. I posted it here under my other name jacensolo1138 but i never added anything to it. I've redone it and changed a lot of the plot. I hope you all like it!

Day 1
Chapter 1: Sleepless Night

Jacen glanced over at the chrono on his nightstand, “2:30, ugh, I’ll never get to sleep.” Jacen got out of bed, smoothed out the thin fabric of his sleeping pants, and walked out onto his balcony. He sat down on the stone railing of his balcony, hanging his legs over the edge as a slight shiver ran through his body. He couldn’t shake the dark feelings he had been getting through the Force all night, he thought as another involuntary shudder ran through his body, he couldn’t tell if it was do to the cold Yavin morning or the Force. He looked over to the balcony next to him and saw Tenel Ka walk out. She wasn’t dressed in her typical lizard skin armor, but in flannel pants and a t-shirt. “You can’t sleep either?” Jacen asked his girlfriend and she nodded as he jumped over to her balcony. “Me either, I’ve been getting a dark feeling of foreboding.”

“I also have been having that feeling,” she said as Jacen leaned against the railing of her balcony.

“I hope it’s not sign of things to come because I for one am ready for a break,” Jacen said taking her hands in his. Hands. She had decided to get the synthetic limb last month.

“It is still taking some getting used to, but it looks and feels just like my old one,” she said, sensing his thoughts.

“What made you decide to get it?”

“I got tired of having to do everything with one arm. I felt that I was just punishing my self for the accident. Also, every time you looked at it I sensed that you felt guilty. Therefore, in a way, I did it for you. When you fell from Cloud City was when I started to consider getting the prosthetic.”

“That was probably the scariest moment of my life. Just falling through the air…” Jacen shuddered at the memory.

“You have no idea how relieved I was when you stepped off that ship,” she said, leaning against his bare chest, resting her head on his shoulder.

“Actually I think I have quite a good idea of how relieved you were,” he said with a chuckle, absently playing with her hair.

“Is that so?” she said, pulling back, looking up into his eyes.

“It’s not everyday that you joyously tackle me to the ground yelling ‘Jacen, my friend!’” Jacen said in a mocking tone.

“You’re making fun of me.”

“This is a fact,” he said, smiling. Her lips curled into a smile as she laughed. Jacen still couldn’t believe this was the same woman that wouldn’t have known a smile if it were staring her in the face. She had changed a lot over the past several months.

“Well,” she said after picking up his thoughts, “you are a bad influence.”

“I try,” he said. He tilted her chin up and kissed her.

“You’re definitely a bad influence,” she said, caressing his cheek. “Let’s go inside, it’s cold out here.” She wrapped his arms around her waist and led him into her room. Jacen flopped down on Tenel Ka’s bed while she got herself a glass of water. After she finished she lay down with Jacen and they talked for a while.

Jacen was jarred awake that morning by an incessant buzzing sound. He located the cause of the sound and slapped the button that turned the alarm off. At first, he didn’t remember where he was, but he quickly remembered falling asleep with Tenel Ka. She was snuggled up next to him, resting her head on his bare chest. “Good morning,” she said tiredly, as she absently traced the muscles of Jacen’s torso with her finger.

“Sorry, I wasn’t planning on falling asleep in here,” Jacen said sheepishly.

“It is okay Jace, I didn’t mind at all,” she said, planting small kisses along his jaw line. “Actually, I like you staying with me.”

Jacen smiled and put his arm around Tenel Ka, closing his eyes again.

“Come on Jace, morning meal starts soon.”

“Just five more minutes,” he groaned, pulling a pillow over his head. The next thing Jacen knew, he was sprawled out on the cold floor next to the bed.

“Are you awake now?” Tenel Ka asked, dangling her head over the side of the bed, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips.

“Yeah, I’m awake,” he said as he stood up. “I’m going to go take a shower. I’ll meet you in the mess hall.”

“Okay,” Tenel Ka said as he left to go back to his room.

Jacen walked into the mess hall, his hair still damp from the shower. He spotted everyone at their usual table and walked over. Jacen sat down in his chair next to Tenel Ka and poured himself a glass of juice. “Morning everyone,” Jacen said, taking some of the nerf sausages from the serving dish in the middle of the table and putting them on his plate.

“Morning Jace,” Jaina said after she finished chewing.

After they finished eating they went to their first class of the day, Jedi history, Tionne was the teacher. Jacen sat down in his desk, which was behind Tenel Ka’s, as Tionne started class. She spoke about the ancient Jedi Master, Vodo-Siosk Baas, and Bodo Baas. Jacen sat in his desk, feeling that at any moment he was going to fall asleep. He laid his head down on his desk as Tionne’s voice started to sound far away and he drifted off to sleep.

A few minutes later Tionne noticed that Jacen was asleep. “Jacen wake up please.” She got no response, “Jacen?” she asked, a little louder this time.

Tenel Ka, barely able to keep herself awake, turned around in her desk and shook Jacen. “Come on Jace, wake up,” she whispered in his ear as he sat up, rubbing his eyes.

*It’s hard to do anything on four hours sleep* Jacen sent Tenel Ka through the Force.

*I know, but try to stay awake* she sent back.

“Now try to stay awake Jacen,” Tionne said from the front of the classroom, as she started teaching again. Towards the end of class, Jacen started to doze off again. “Jacen!” Tionne said firmly.

“I wasn’t asleep,” Jacen claimed as he sat up. This elicited laughs from the rest of the class.

“I certainly hope not Mr. Solo, because this information if going to be on a quiz Monday, and I highly suggest you study for it this weekend.”

“Yes m’am.” A few minutes later, the bell rang and Tionne dismissed class. After their next class, they went to afternoon meal. When they were done with afternoon meal, it was afternoon free time. They went to the student recreation center and went into the movie room to watch a movie. In the middle of the room, there was a pit that was full of pillows and then couches and chairs where around the rest of the room. Jacen lazily walked in and flopped down onto the pillows. Zekk sat down on the couch while Jaina picked out the movie. She put the movie disc into the player, turned the lights off, and sat down next to Zekk. Tenel Ka lay down next to Jacen and laid her head on his chest as the movie started. Tenel Ka let the steady beat of his heart lull her to sleep. When the movie was over Zekk turned on the lights and saw that Tenel Ka and Jacen were sound asleep.

“Hey guys, time for class,” Jaina said. They didn’t budge. “Hey! Wake up!” Jacen jumped, startled by the noise. Tenel Ka reacted in the same fashion. “Time for class guys.” They got up and walked to their next class.

Later that night Jacen sat with Tenel Ka on her bed, studying. “Ok, and when was Bodo Baas killed?” Tenel Ka asked Jacen.

“He was executed by Palpatine during the Jedi Purge,” Jacen answered.

“Correct, and wha—“ Jacen silenced her with a kiss. He took the notebook out of her hand and tossed to the end of the bed as he wrapped his arms around her. “Jacen, we were studying,” she said.

“Forget studying,” he said, kissing her neck.

“Jacen you need to pass the quiz tomorrow.”

“Fine, Bodo Baas was an ancient Jedi Master, and the Gatekeeper of his Holocron. Palpatine executed him during the Jedi Purge and Palpatine took the Holocron. My mom then got the Holocron back when she was on Byss during the resurrected Emperor crisis. Bodo’s ancestor Vodo-Siosk Baas was the former Gatekeeper of the Holocron. Vodo-Siosk was the Jedi Master that trained Exar Kun. Exar Kun then betrayed him and killed him.”

“Okay, forget studying,” Tenel Ka said, as Jacen pressed his lips against hers. A few minutes later, they heard a knock on the door. Jacen quickly rolled away from Tenel Ka, grabbing her notebook, feigning as if they were studying. Tionne poked her head in the door.

“Lights out Tenel Ka. Jacen, out” Tionne said, jerking her thumb towards the door.
When Tionne left, Jacen kissed Tenel Ka good night, “Love you Tenel, see you tomorrow.”

*I’ll see you before tomorrow if I have anything to do with it.*

After Jacen took a shower, pulled on his sleeping pants and got into bed. He switched his bedside lamp off and started to drift off to sleep. Later, Tenel Ka entered his room from the balcony. She walked over and got into bed with him. “Whoa, Tenel you startled me,” Jacen said.

“Sorry,” she said sheepishly.

"No, it's okay." Tenel Ka lay back down. Jacen yawned, "Comfy?" She nodded as Jacen pulled the sheets up to his waist and closed his eyes. She lay down next to him, resting her head on his warm chest. He put his arm around her soft body as she closed her eyes.

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

Day 2
Chapter 2

The next morning Jacen awoke as Tenel Ka stirred in her sleep. He yawned, opened his eyes, and looked down at Tenel Ka’s sleeping visage. He gently brushed a strand of her red hair away from her eyes and laid his head back on the pillows. He closed his eyes for a few seconds then opened them to find Tenel Ka’s sleepy ones staring right back at him. “Morning,” he said, gazing back into her gray eyes. He propped himself up on his elbow and gently caressed Tenel Ka’s cheek.
“Hey,” she said sleepily, covering his hand with hers, wrapping her other arm around him, moving closer to his body. When Jacen rolled over towards her the morning sunlight blinded him, he had forgotten to close the shutters. He got out of bed and quickly walked over and closed them. He walked over to the bed and lay back down, resting his head on Tenel Ka’s abdomen. Tenel Ka giggled as Jacen planted little kisses on the small amount of flesh that had been exposed when her shirt had pulled up slightly in her sleep. She looked at him, twisting one of his brown locks around her finger. Jacen leaned up, his head hovering above hers. He gently kissed her lips. “I love you Tenel Ka.”
“I love you too Jace.”
“Marry me then.”
She looked up into his brandy brown eyes, a smile tugging at the edges of her lips. She pulled him down to her, pressing her lips to his in a fiery, soulful kiss.
“Is that a yes?”
“Yes I will marry you,” she said, her smile getting bigger.
“I love so much,” Jacen said. She pulled him down towards her face, Jacen willingly obliged, pressing his lips to hers. She rolled over on top of him as his hand slid down her spine to caress the smooth skin of her lower back.
“So I guess that just leaves one question. When and where?” Jacen said when they finally broke the kiss.
“As soon as possible and hopefully here.”
“You know we’re not going to get away with that. With Hapes wanting join the New Republic, neither of our parents our going to overlook that a wedding between the Princess of Hapes and son of the Chief of State would help that process. We could just elope.”
“My grandmother would kill us, literally,” she said seriously.
“We would probably be able to have it here though. In the Grand Audience Chamber.”
“That would probably work.”
A little while later they got up to call their parents to tell all of their friends.

Two Weeks Later
Day: 16

It was evening on Yavin 4, Jacen kneeled on the other side of the alter from Tenel Ka, her hands in his. Luke was performing the ceremony. Jacen gazed into her cool gray eyes, lost in her beauty.
“Jacen Solo, do you take Tenel Ka to be your wife?” Luke asked.
Jacen shook himself from his reverie, “I do.”
“Tenel Ka do you take Jacen to be your husband?” Luke asked.
“I do,” she replied.
“Then by the power invested in me by the New Republic and the Jedi order, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride,” Luke said.
Jacen lifted the veil from her face and took her in his arms, bringing his lips to hers. Then Luke performed the Jedi bonding ceremony, in which their minds were tied together.

After the ceremony, they walked off to have a few holos taken of them as the crowd went to a different chamber in the Temple for the reception.
They walked into the chamber that the reception was being held. When they walked in they were greeted by applause and several people came over to congratulate them. Anakin Solo and Tahiri walked up with Han, Leia, Lando, Jaina, Zekk, Isolder, and Teneniel in tow.
“Hey little brother!” Jacen said.
“Way to go Jace,” Anakin said, giving Jacen a slap on the back. “Congratulations!” Anakin said and hugged Tenel Ka and Tahiri congratulated them.
Leia, Han, Isolder, and Teneniel walked up next. “Congratulations kid!” Han said and slapped Jacen on the back.
“Jacen, Life Day is in about three days. Do you and Tenel Ka want to come home with us tomorrow along with Jaina and Anakin.
“Sure,” Jacen said.
Jaina and Anakin stepped forward to ask Leia something but she answered before they could speak. “Yes, Zekk and Tahiri can come also.”

Day 17

The next morning Jacen, Tenel Ka, Jaina, Zekk, Anakin, and Tahiri boarded the Jade Saber to go to Coruscant. Since Tahiri and Zekk were coming there wasn’t enough room on the Falcon.
Jacen set his duffle down in the cargo hold and walked towards the cockpit. “Hiya handsome,” his aunt joked as he walked into the cockpit.
“We about ready to go?” Jacen asked.
“Yup, go tell everyone to strap in.”
Jacen walked back and relayed Mara’s order as he strapped himself in. The ship took off and entered hyperspace for the short trip to Coruscant.

* * *
A few hours later, the Saber pulled out of hyperspace and entered the atmosphere of Coruscant. They were granted permission to land at Imperial Palace. Mara piloted the ship through the countless lanes of traffic and landed the ship next to the Falcon in the docking bay at Imperial Palace. They all got their bags and got off the ship. Jacen, Jaina, Zekk, Tenel Ka, Anakin, and Tahiri all went to the Solo apartments but Luke and Mara went to their suite to unpack. The group of young Jedi walked through the door into the Solo’s house. After all the greetings, Jacen and Tenel Ka dropped their bags off in Jacen’s room. Jaina and Anakin went to their rooms as Leia showed Zekk and Tahiri to the rooms they would be staying in.
After dinner, they all moved into the living room. Anakin sat down in the big comfy recliner that Han always sat in. Han walked up behind him. “Boy, what are you doing? Get your ass outta my chair!” Han said slapping him upside the head, eliciting laughs from around the room.
“Oh yes, the typical Solo fights for the comfortable furniture,” Leia said. Anakin, going for the next best option ran for one of the two couches, but Jaina dove onto it before he could get to it. He turned for the other one, but Jacen dove onto that one, dragging Tenel Ka with him, she landed on top of him.
“The side of the Solo family the public never gets to see,” Tenel Ka joked, looking into his eyes.
“Yup, and aren’t you so glad your part of it now?”
“This is a fact,” she said and kissed the tip of his nose as she got off him.
“Ugh! I never get a couch,” Anakin whined jokingly. Zekk walked into the room and joined Jaina as Anakin sat down in one of recliners and pulled Tahiri into his lap. Leia went back into the kitchen and brought a tray with mugs full of hot chocolate. Everyone took one and they sat around talking and sipping their drinks.
“I’m going to go change into some more comfortable clothes. I’ll be right back,” Tenel Ka said as she got up and walked towards their room. She changed into a pair of loose-fitting pants and one of Jacen’s old t-shirts. Once she was dressed she walked back out to the living room. She sat back down on the couch next to Jacen who had just turned on the vid-unit and turned it to a movie. She leaned against him and put her head on his shoulder as he put his arm around her.
When the movie was over everyone said goodnight and went off to bed. Jacen and Tenel Ka walked to his room. Jacen keyed the door open and walked in. He pulled his shirt off changed into his flannel pants and got into bed, while Tenel Ka went to take a shower. Afterwards she dried off and got into bed with Jacen. She put her arm over him and rested her head on his chest, letting the steady beat of his heart lull her to sleep.
Later that night Jacen awoke, sensing Anakin moving through the house. A quick probe of Anakin’s mind revealed that he was heading for Tahiri’s room. Tenel Ka stirred next to him. “What’s going on Jace?” she murmured sleepily, snuggling closer to him.
“It’s Anakin, he’s trying to sneak over to Tahiri’s room. I better go stop him, before Mom wakes up and raises hell,” Jacen said as he got out of bed. He also grabbed his lightsaber from the nightstand.
“Why are you taking you lightsaber babe?” Tenel Ka asked.
“Well, since I have to get up I might as well scare him senseless.” Jacen tiptoed out into the hallway, masking his Force presence. He moved to the beginning of the hallway that Tahiri’s room was on and he waited for Anakin in the darkness. When Anakin was about to walk by him Jacen ignited his lightsaber. The emerald beam shot right in front on Anakin’s face, all of the color drained from his face in fear. “Going some where Anakin?” Jacen asked shutting down the lightsaber.
“I was… uh… I wa—“
“Save the act, I know where you were going. Dumb idea little brother. Use your brain,” he said tapping Anakin’s head lightly with the handle of his lightsaber. “It could have just as well been Mom or Dad that woke up and sensed you instead off me. Dad would have just sent you back to bed but Mom would have raised all sorts of hell.”
“Sorry Jace,” he said as he started back towards his room.
“Just use your brain next time,” Jacen replied walking back to his own room. “That was fun,” Jacen said with a grin as he put his lightsaber down and lay back in bed.
“You’re just evil,” his wife joked as she snuggled back up against his warm body again, and drifted off to sleep.

Ok here's the most recent post.

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

Ok here's an update. The plot really starts to get interesting towards the end of this post.

Day: 17

Morning finally came and Jaina’s eyes fluttered open. She yawned and stretched languidly as she sat up in her bed. She lazily got out of her bed and walked towards the fresher. She tried to hit the light switch, but in her typical morning stupor, she missed the switch. On her second try, she successfully completed the task. She showered and put on some fresh clothes and left her room. When she got to the living room, she saw Zekk on the couch, watching cartoons. “Morning Jay,” he said as she walked into the room.
“Aren’t you a little bit too old for those?” she said, her voice thick with sleep, as she sat down on the couch, leaning against him.
“Of course not,” he said giving her a boyish grin and a playful kiss. The kiss had started out playfully but it quickly grew more passionate. Zekk put his arms around Jaina, lightly running his hand down her spine, sending a shiver through her body. *You sure know how to wake me up* she sent to him. Then they heard a loud yawn from down the hallway. Jaina quickly disengaged herself from Zekk and just rested her head on his shoulder.
“Morning,” Han said as he walked into the living room, rubbing the last bit of sleep from his eyes.
“Hey Dad,” Jaina mumbled from the couch.
“Aren’t you two a little to old for those?” Han asked when he heard Zekk and Jaina laughing at the cartoon they were watching.
Zekk just shook his head as Han sat down in his chair and started reading the daily news off his datapad.
“Good morning everyone,” Leia said as she walked into the room. Jaina just looked up at her mother.
“I hate morning people,” Jaina mumbled.
“Aren’t you two a little too old for cartoons?”
“Why do I get the feeling that we’re going be asked that question by everyone that walks into the room this morning?” Zekk said, throwing his arms up in mock exasperation.

Jacen awoke that morning as the sunlight started to pour into his room. He lifted his arms above is head as he stretched and yawned. He looked down at Tenel Ka next to him; her red braids cascading around her face. She sighed in her sleep and instinctively curled towards his warm body, her legs intertwined in his. He brushed a strand of hair out of her face and softly kissed her lips. She gradually stirred and her hand that had been resting on his chest crept up to his neck as he slowly pulled back. “Good morning,” she said, caressing his cheek.
“Morning,” he sighed.
“What time is it?”
“Eight thirty,” Jacen said after he looked over at the chrono.
“Do we need to get up?”
“Yeah, probably,” he said as he sat up, rubbed his eyes, and went to the fresher to take a shower. Tenel Ka got up and wrapped the sheet around her body as she walked over to the closet to get something to wear. Everyone had since moved to the kitchen so once she was dressed, she left their room and walked towards the kitchen, the plush carpet of in the hallway felt good under her bare feet.
“Good morning Tenel Ka,” Leia greeted. “Is Jacen up yet?”
“Yes, he’s in the shower. He will be out in a few minutes.

About ten minutes later, Jacen walked in and saw Tenel Ka, Zekk, Anakin, Tahiri, Han, Chewie, and Jaina on stools by the island in the kitchen as the cooking droid bustled around. Leia was cutting up fruit and putting them into bowls. Tenel Ka was reading something on a datapad.
Jacen walked up behind Tenel Ka and slipped his arms around her waist, moving his hands under her shirt, rubbing the barely defined muscles of her abdomen, and kissed her neck. “Hey, love,” she said.
“Morning,” he mumbled, resting his chin on her shoulder. “What are you reading?” Jacen asked motioning towards the datapad.
“Just the news,” she said as he sat down next to her.
Jacen grabbed a piece of fruit and popped it into his mouth. Leia swatted his hand, “Wait until breakfast,” she chided.
See Threepio walked into the room and over into the kitchen to get the silverware. “Greetings Master Jacen, Mistress Tenel Ka, how are you this morning?” said the droid in his prissy mechanical voice. “Great,” Tenel Ka replied, “I’m doing fine, thanks Threepio,” Jacen said.
Chewie rumbled question. “No Chewbacca, it is not time to eat yet, on my count you have asked me that question exactly seven times, but I will tell you when you may eat,” Threepio said sounding very annoyed. Chewie rumbled a question at Han.
“No Chewie, you can’t rip goldenrods arms off, last time you did that it was kind of expensive to fix him,” Han said.
Threepio huffed indignantly, “I’m afraid I will never be able to understand Wookiees … or humans also, for that matter.” The golden droid walked around the table, putting down plates and silverware.
After Threepio had set the food out on the table he said, “Okay Chewbacca, now you can eat.” The Wookiee roared excitedly, stood up, and walked to the table, to his spot with the large slab of steaming but still raw meat. Jacen, Tenel Ka, and Zekk got up and sat down at the table. Jaina set down her datapad and helped her mother and father carry over the small bowls of fruit. Jaina sat down between her brother and Zekk. Once Han and Leia had sat down, they started passing the food around. After breakfast Jacen went to his room to wrap Tenel Ka’s present.
He went over to his duffle and pulled out a small box. He found the wrapping paper and started wrapping Tenel Ka’s present. He sensed Tenel Ka’s presence at the door.
“You wouldn’t be trying to sneak a peek at your present would you your highness?” Jacen said, quickly moving the box behind his back.
“Of course not,” she said as she walked over and lay down on the bed as Jacen finished wrapping the box.
Just then Leia stuck her head in the door, “We’ve just been invited to a big party tonight. Jacen, it’s a black tie event. Tenel Ka… Jaina, Tahiri and I were going to go shopping for dresses and presents soon, would you care to join us?”
“Sure.”

* * *
That night Tenel Ka walked out of the fresher, having just finished doing her hair and putting the finishing touches on her dress. When she walked out Jacen let out a low whistle, “You look beautiful.”
“And you’re looking quite handsome yourself,” she said as she tied his bow tie for him.

* * *
“C’mon, this party is getting boring. Let’s go up to the roof,” Jacen said as the song they were dancing to ended. They slipped away into the hallway and entered the turbo lift. Jacen pushed the button for the top floor and the lift shot upwards. The lift soon reached the top and they stepped out into the cool Coruscant night. She walked over to the rail, watching ships fly by in the cool night sky. Jacen walked up behind her, slipping his arms around her waist as a small shiver ran through her body. He hugged her closer and nuzzled her neck. She sighed, relaxing in his embrace. Then they felt it… A disturbance in the Force. It seemed to have come from the ballroom.

They instantly broke away from each other and sprinted towards the turbo lift. When Jacen arrived at the doors to the lift he pressed the call button. He muttered one his fathers more inventive curses under his breath when a ‘System Shutdown’ message appeared on the screen.
“Who ever caused that disturbance in the Force obviously didn’t want anyone getting into the ballroom. Thinking quickly Jacen ran around the side of the turbo lift housing searching for the maintenance hatch. He pulled on it but the hatch was locked and didn’t budge. He unclipped his lightsaber from his belt and quickly cut the lock. He pulled the hatch open and climbed through, onto the ladder that led down the turbo lift shaft. He slid down the ladder, using the Force to control his descent, Tenel Ka following close after him. After what seemed like an eternity to Jacen, they reached the ballroom floor. The turbo lift itself was still stationed on the ball room floor. Jacen opened the access panel on the top of the lift and dropped in. With help from the Force Jacen pried the turbo lift doors open and entered the room. What he saw wasn’t what he would have ever expected. The body of every person that had been the room was lying on the floor, unconscious.
“What could have done this?” Jacen mused aloud. Tenel Ka soon found the answer. She spotted a round metallic object in the middle of the room. They made their way through limp bodies on the floor towards the object.
“It’s a stun bomb. I have seen them used by riot control squads on Hapes. They detonate on impact and it emits an immobilizing pulse and stun rays. If you are close to the device when it detonates chances are the pulse will break a bone or two but for those further away they will only have a bruise here or there.”
“There’s a note to,” Jacen said, seeing the note on the ground next to the stun bomb. Jacen picked it up and read it aloud.

Solo,
I have kidnapped your sister and your parents. I doubt you’ll be lucky enough to find them before I decide to kill them.
-Brakiss

“No! This is impossible! He’s dead, he couldn’t have done this… Wait! We still have a chance to find where he’s taking them. We need a com-unit and fast.”
“I think there were some offices in one of the hallways, one of them will probably have a comlink. Jacen ran as quickly as he could through the mass of unconscious bodies making sure not to step on any of them. He got to a hallway and went into the first door on his right. There was a com-unit in the corner of the room. He ran over to the com-unit “Coruscant traffic control this is Jacen Solo. Did you by any chance see a shuttle blast out of here in a hurry in the past few minutes?”
“Yes mister Solo we did. It was leaving at quite a high rate of speed, with out permission, and refused to answer any of our hails.”
“Did you have a chance to track its vector before it entered hyperspace?” Jacen asked, crossing his fingers.
“Yes, we just received the data from the vector track. Hold on just a second while I look at it.” A few seconds later the mans voice returned, “The track says that the shuttle in question is most likely headed for Tatooine, if they didn’t make multiple hyperspace jumps.”
“That you for you help. It is very much appreciated,” Jacen said and shut off the comlink. As he was about to leave, he thought to call a medical team to the ballroom to tend to the people that may have been hurt from the pulse emitted from the stun bomb.
When he reentered the ballroom, he saw his wife helping Zekk up off the ground. “He’s taken them to Tatooine. Coruscant traffic control was able to track their vector.”
“Who?” Zekk asked.
“Brakiss. He kidnapped Jaina and my parents.”
Zekk’s face paled to a ghostly white. “What? Say that again,” he said in disbelief.
“Brakiss didn’t die with the Shadow Academy. He’s back and he’s kidnapped Jaina and my parents.”
“So what do we do now?” Zekk asked.
“We get ready to go to Tatooine.”

*******

Hope you all like it. I'll have an update either today or monday.

Ha! I know who kidnapped them, and it's not Brakiss (I think).

Looking good so far, keep it up!

Ah, yes it's good to get a break from Jacen/Danni angry and Jacen/Tahiri [face_disgusted]
And it's espcially good when that break is a really promising fic. happy

Sorry everyone, I was planning on having the post up last night but since spring break is coming up all of my teachers are throwing tests and papers at me so i had to study. There's a small chance that i could get a post up tonight but I'm pretty busy and I leave on vacation tomorrow. So just keep this thread towards the top and I'll update as soon as I can. If I'm not able to update today I'll definintly be able next monday when I get back from vaction. So please keep this thread towards the top while I'm gone. I could use a few new readers.
