A Fleeting Glimpse--post-Traitor AU (J/J, Kyp/OC) Sorry guys! 7/8/03

Oh bleah, how could I resist my little sister's first fic...

VERY well done, ominous and yet funny too.

 

You already know the next post, so stop acting like you haven't read.

Me? I don't know anything. And anything I do know I frequently forget.



Morning up.

 

can we have a post soon, SoL?

 

3 pages all ready. That's great Saber.

 

Kyp; some love him, some hate him, and some (JJD and the people she converted) can't live without him. LOL! SO TRUE!

And I WILL convert you Saber! I will! *diabolical laughter*

Come on! MORE!

 

Sara, i have a comment that i'm going to give to you on your thread.... check there in two minutes.


and yes, congrats on three pages already!

 

PAGE 3!?!?!?

Lt_JS- Thankies! Yes, DRL is evil.

Chase- Thanks for the encouragement!

RLIC- Oh shut up. Thanks! I was about to PM you, telling you to read, but you're ahead of me.

Jaya- Whatever you say.

Sara- Thankies!

JJD- Um...riiight.

Lt_JS and JJD asked for more, and here it is... sorry if it's cheesy; it'll get much better later on, I promise! Jaya, I sent you another post.

?So what exactly are we doing, Great One?? Tilath Keer scratched her head. ?There?s not exactly any danger around here, is there??

Jaina sighed on the other side of the table. ?Not quite. But there doesn?t have to be danger to have a setup for tension.? The unspoken thought that everyone knew was that the Peace Brigade was the most likely cause of whatever tension would be there.

?Twin Suns is escorting a few dignitaries and politicians, my mom included, down to the surface of Mon Calamari. She?s meeting Pwoe, who just declared himself Chief-of-State.? By the looks of it, he?s not much better than Borsk Fey?lya.

?Master Skywalker and his wife, of course, are going to sit in on the meetings. My shield trio will escort their transport.?

?Also, General Antilles and Colonel Celchu are going down to negotiate with Pwoe because we?re not entirely sure what or where the Vong are going to hit next. He?s coming along with us. Any other questions??

Sharr Latt raised his hand.

Jaina rolled her eyes. ?Any questions not devoted to the purpose of annoying me??

?Aww, man.?

?It?s not wise to displease a goddess.?

?You think he doesn?t already know that?? Kyp glared at Sharr, and glanced at Jagged Fel, sitting next to him. He smiled, a subtle motion.

?The Goddess already knows how to deal with him. Leave her to her tricky ways.?

Sharr eyed them all warily. ?What are you going to do to me??

?If anything, you think that we?d tell you?? Kyp raised an eyebrow.

?Anymore questions? Nothing? We?re taking off in 20 minutes.? She waved her hand at the gathered pilots. ?Dismissed.?

Mostly everyone filed out of the room in a not-so-orderly fashion. Jaina tossed her hair behind one shoulder, then looked at the members of her shield trio, still waiting for her.

?Why do I have a bad feeling about this??

?Is there something else on your mind?? Jag cocked his head to one side, looking at her.

Kyp and Jag knew her too well. Jaina had to finally tell them. Kyp probably already knew, having a Force bond with her, but Force-blind Jag had no clue.

?3 days ago, my mother felt a twinge in the Force. It was a warning. What I can tell is that when we land on Mon Calamari, something?s going to happen. It?s not going to affect many people directly, but the aftershocks are going to involve almost everyone I know.?

Kyp frowned. ?Did you see a vision? How do you know all of this? What does it have to do with me and Jag??

Jaina held up a hand. ?Hold on. Number one, it wasn?t much of a vision, but the twinge gave me a lot of clues from which I can draw conclusions. Number two, I figured out all of this by myself. Number three; I?m not telling you.?

?Why is it that every unusual thing that happens to you has to flip me and Kyp over?? Jag shook his head. ?Is there anything else??

Jaina and Kyp exchanged a glance.

Do you trust him enough to tell him about Jacen? Kyp sent through the Force.

What do you think?

I know enough about you two to know that you?d trust him with your life.

Jaina began to blush, then suppressed her reaction and sent a death-glare at Kyp.

He raised his hands. ?What did I do??

Jag gave the two of them an odd look. ?Don?t tell me; squabbling through the Force again??

Kyp looked at him in wide-eyed surprise. ?How did you know??

Jag smiled. ?I?ve been around you two far too long.? He looked at Jaina, and at the serious look on her face, reverted back to the impenetrable, stony-faced commander.

?You know that my twin brother, Jacen, was thought dead by everyone??

Jag nodded, frowning

 

Everything seems to be shaping up rather nicely. I don't think I like this last guy. He's planning to hurt someone, that's never good.
Keep up the excellent work.

 

Thanks, Sara!

 

No problem, Saber. There's a couple new posts on my story. Just thought you'd like to know.

 

**hurtles over to Sara's thread**

 

Great post, SoL!

 

Thanks dude.

 

Great posts SoL! I am loving this story so far! I don't know what you were talking about saying yours wouldn't be as good as mine and Mira's This is an excellent story! I'm glad to be home where I can keep this story on my favs list now

 

Muchness of coolios

 

MY KYP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You write him well!

That wasn't cheesy! It was wonderful!

Is it too soon to ask for more?

 

great post! and it wasn't cheesy! it was good!

 

Great post Saber! I love to listen to Jaina and Kyp pick on each other!!!

I wanna know who this secret person is and what he's up to GRRRRRRR!!!

 

Very good post, as usual, SoL!! Looking forward to more soon!

*narrows eyes and shakes fist menacingly at the bad guy who always shows up at the end of every post*

Oh and it was so not cheesy!!!

 

what a great post! loved the banter between Kyp and Jaina, and that was all around wonderful!! can't wait for more!

 

JPS- AAACK! oh my god! The queen of Long, amazing posts has come to my humble thread of short, odd posts! AACK! **ahem** That said, thanks!

fishi- Whatever you say. Thanks!

JJD- Thank you! More will come tomorrow.

Lt_JS- Thanks!

Chase- Thanks!

Anakah- Oh, you'll see more of the bad guy. Thanks!

j_g- Thanks!

Well, in my next few posts, I should stop calling myself cheesy. Expect one or two posts tomorrow. After that, though, Darth School kicks in............TBC

hugs,
Saber

 

great story SoL! You must post more...I'm extremely Jacen deprived! Good luck with Darth School...I can relate. Lol

-The Queen

 

I loved the bantering. Jaina's switching between official Lt of the NR, to Goddess, to Jedi and finally a girlfriend was great.

You had Sharr! Sharr who was about to annoy Jaina! That post was really funny. And I agree with everyone else, your mystery person is not going to be good later on. The big quesion is not WHO the person is, but what their mission is.

Great post Saber!

 

Thankies to everyone! Post will be up in about 5 mins.

Chapter 2
Questions


Leia watched Mon Calamari as it grew larger through the viewport, then turned around and searched the room. The only other familiar person riding in the transport with her was Wedge. He didn?t notice her watching him. She sighed and turned back to the viewport.

Along on the transport were a few refugees from Coruscant that stayed on Borleias. Their families were on Mon Calamari, so the transport would take them down as well.

Leia was meeting with now-Chief-of-State Pwoe. The title of Chief-of-State had already been tainted by Fey?lya, and now another politician that cared more about power than the people?s well-being stepped up to the plate.

It was those kinds of people that killed her son. Shattered her family. Not that they noticed, or cared.

But the Yuuzhan Vong had caused it all. Her family ran from bounty hunters, and had inflicted major damage to the enemy. While wounding themselves along the way, in both pain and mentality.

Fey?lya had simply put on a show, nothing more. He did nothing to stop the invaders; Pwoe did no less. Their only path to complete control of the galaxy was the New Republic. No matter how many lives were lost, or which planets fell, neither cared.

Until Coruscant.

Her home was destroyed. Oh, it was probably still there, but reduced to a greenhouse. Or covered by the Vongformed plant life that Luke described. Fey?lya went down with his planet. Her family was split into pieces, and tossed into different directions. They all thought nothing could get worse.

They had been through kidnappings, her home planet had been annihilated by the Death Star, Luke had nearly become a Sith Lord... but when they discovered the source of the voxyn...

Everything went straight downhill.

She felt it when Anakin died. No pain, not even the pain of her own possible death, would rival that. There is no death, only the Force.

It made the pain no less bearable.

Then Jacen... everyone thought him dead. She held on to the last hope, the tiniest inkling that he was still alive. While her own daughter flirted with the dark side of the Force, and her husband refused to believe Jacen?s survival, Leia held on.

It had paid off.

Now that she knew her only living son was still there, another force strived to keep them apart. Well, it might be another Force, rather. The warnings- they seemed too uncharacteristic. What they meant and why, not even she knew. It seemed as if they didn?t come from the Force itself. She would ponder that in meditation later on. Right now, she had other things to do.

**********

?Why do you suppose Leia?s so shaken up about the Force twinge??

The comment, however unremarkable, was just an effort from Mara to disguise her worrying. She and Luke, in a personal transport, were heading down to the surface of Mon Calamari with Leia, Wedge, and Tycho.

?She knows more about it than I do,? Luke answered with a shrug. He, too, was visibly trying to reassure himself. The effort failed.

?From what I can tell, that felt like it didn?t come directly from the Force.? Mara suggested.

Obviously, that lit a spark in his head. ?Well...?

?What, exactly, are you talking about?? Tycho raised an eyebrow at them.

?Jedi business. Don?t worry about it.?

?I thought so.? The colonel said.

?Out of a lack of anything else to say, why are you so interested?? Luke asked.

?I had a lack of anything else to ask.?

Luke smiled. ?That got us nowhere.?

?That was my point.?

Mara?s suddenly inquisitive expression shook them both out of their cheerful retorts.

?Hey,? she said slowly, ?are there any Jedi on Mon Calamari??

Luke frowned. ?Not that I know of.?

She sighed. ?Well, there goes that possibility. I was thinking that some friendly person with lots of info was sending Force premonitions to Leia. You know more about the Jedi around the galaxy than I do. ?

?Not completely. There are plenty of basically freelance Force-users that I know of, and I?ve heard that there?s plenty more that I?ve
