Beyond - Legends I, Jaina Solo (The Great Chiss War)(Post-NJO: Jaina, Jag, Kyp, Jacen, Tahiri,more) Completed 2/23/06

YD:

Yes, I was really little too. Ended up accidently adopting a pregnant one and ending up with a bunch of them

*grins* the problem is always to find someone who adopts the younglings

Well, the political stuff was good. The other two-thirds of it were not so good

Hah!



Chapter 6: In Which a Miraluka Ruins Jaina's Life

Nieus P. Sovel

that will be fun
has he already learned to defend himself with his umbrella

? acclaimed Sullustan writer, mathematician, crackpot philosopher?

*grins* crackpot?

went on in his classic, Choices and the Sentient Being, to explain that a sentient life could be summed up by a few key choices one made at the defining moments of one?s life. He called these moments, these turning points in all of our lives, Essence Points?... Is it any wonder this masterpiece was an intergalactic bestseller for more than five years?

*grins* and his testobjects were surely well known celebrities, long dead

During my two days here on Charfour, I have found myself recounting many of the Essence Points? of my own life, that Sovel would be sure to assign a mathematical value and tell me whether I was a good person or not. As near as I can tell, there are two types of these defining moments that the droopy-faced Sullustan must have been referring to.

*mental image of Sovel telling Jaina her Essence Points?*


*snap-hissss*




He doesn't admit it though, adding a formula for the unexpected that I can't begin to understand, his reasoning being that the decisions that follow, I.E. my decision to fight at Dubrillion rather than flee, are character determining.

can?t figure what you mean with I.E.

I was drinking champagne, he was sipping on some disgusting vegetable juice.

I can Jace doing such disgusting thing

I love my brother, Force knows I do, but it's become increasingly clear that in many situations, the boy is completely useless. I'd have been better off going to Threepio for advice!

ouch for Jace ... Goldenrod rocks

So anyway, when I did meet Voanes Malu, I was happy, my head filled with silly ideas about the Force guiding me, thanks to Jacen. It was only a matter of drinks before we were trying to get the Miraluka Jedi to tell us what she saw in the Force like some party-working fortuneteller.

bad disicion ... she should have trusted the Force with the bad feeling

As you can imagine, this was a very frightening thing to hear, but I remained glib, drunk on the evening and expensive champagne. "Hey, I'm the Sword of the Jedi, I know that sort of thing will always be a part of my life..."

didn?t she got told that she will never a peaceful life or something like that?

"You will kill Jagged Fel."

I am so curious what she is going to do...
does she the same thing like her grandfather?
trying to save the loved ones


I am curious how Jay managed to read Sovels book in the first place, it looks more after Jace to do such thing ...


Anyway, well done
looking forward to the next part


~Mags~

 

Sorry this is going to be a short response this time!

I love the way you weave the "crackpot" Sovel philosophy into Jaina's narrative.

Trust the Force... what is that? Look at where the Force has gotten me.

Pure Jaina.



oldj

 

That doesn't me that will happen here

Will see.

Yeah, it's over. You can start threads with "Padmé is dead!" now

Oh, ok, thats what I thought. I just wanted to be sure. I didn't want to get banned or anything.

Yes we will





'm glad you won't be disappointed Jaina's going to need a good lawyer.



Yeah, I guess you're right. That is pretty disappointing



I'm kidding I think it's cool that you're trying to write so much of it before hand

Thanks.



Okay, I'll see what I can do. Be prepared for a bombardment of PM's

uh oh. What have I got myself into?

 

Are you suggesting Jaina will murder her father and marry her mother? I'm pretty sure that plot line won't fly around here...



I was really refering to all the elaborate measure they went to, to try & prevent the prophcey, only to set it in motion.


I'm sure Voanes didn't mean any harm


I'll with hold judgement on that just yet if you don't mind!

 

Mags: *grins* the problem is always to find someone who adopts the younglings

We just kept them

that will be fun
has he already learned to defend himself with his umbrella

No, probably not

*grins* crackpot?



*grins* and his testobjects were surely well known celebrities, long dead

I'm not sure what you mean

*mental image of Sovel telling Jaina her Essence Points?*
*snap-hissss*

Yes, I imagine it would go over something like that

can?t figure what you mean with I.E.

It should be "i.e," don't know why I capitalized it It's an abbrevation meaing "in other words" but the letters stand for the latin words "id est," I think

I can Jace doing such disgusting thing



ouch for Jace ... Goldenrod rocks

Yes, I love Threepio

bad disicion ... she should have trusted the Force with the bad feeling

Yes

didn?t she got told that she will never a peaceful life or something like that?

Yeah, Luke already spelled that out for her when she became a Jedi

I am so curious what she is going to do...
does she the same thing like her grandfather?
trying to save the loved ones

Well, we don't know that it's going to happen Voanes could be wrong.

I am curious how Jay managed to read Sovels book in the first place, it looks more after Jace to do such thing ...

Maybe it was required reading in school or at the academy Or the book was just so famous everyone knows parts of it without having read it... or Jacen made her read it.

Anyway, well done
looking forward to the next part

Thank you



oldj: Sorry this is going to be a short response this time!

That's okay

I love the way you weave the "crackpot" Sovel philosophy into Jaina's narrative.

Yeah, I don't think Jaina has much faith in his work

Pure Jaina.



Thanks and thanks for reading




JoD: Oh, ok, thats what I thought. I just wanted to be sure. I didn't want to get banned or anything.

It would be pretty cool if you did get banned

uh oh. What have I got myself into?

Only now at the end to begin to understand




TSF: I was really refering to all the elaborate measure they went to, to try & prevent the prophcey, only to set it in motion.

I know, I was just teasing a bit

I'll with hold judgement on that just yet if you don't mind!

You never trust my OC's!

 

It would be pretty cool if you did get banned

What you don't like me anymore....or it would just add to my cool rep?

Only now at the end to begin to understand

 

Padme died?!?!


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



darn them pesky self fullfilling prophecies....

 

YK:

We just kept them

*mental image of many, many, many, guinea pigs*

I'm not sure what you mean

never mind, random silliness

Yes, I imagine it would go over something like that



It should be "i.e," don't know why I capitalized it It's an abbrevation meaing "in other words" but the letters stand for the latin words "id est," I think

thanks

Yes, I love Threepio

yeah, whole SW is built around 3PO and his companion R2D2

Well, we don't know that it's going to happen Voanes could be wrong.

Hah!

Maybe it was required reading in school or at the academy Or the book was just so famous everyone knows parts of it without having read it... or Jacen made her read it.

*grins* yeah Jace would force his sis to read it


~Mags~

 

JoD: What you don't like me anymore....or it would just add to my cool rep?

Yeah. Like, people would see me posting in the same threads as you and think I was tough too




TS: Padme died?!?!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
darn them pesky self fullfilling prophecies....

What? I was just using it as a hypothetical! I can't believe she's gone




Mags: *mental image of many, many, many, guinea pigs*

Nah, it was only three babies giving us a total of 5 They lived for many years

yeah, whole SW is built around 3PO and his companion R2D2

Yes, they're the true heroes

*grins* yeah Jace would force his sis to read it

I bet Jacen cried as he read it too

 

YodaKenobi: This is an official notice: Continued use of my name and/or references to my work, including direct quotes, will result in immediate legal action. I do not appreciate being disparaged and I certainly do not take lightly the misrepresentation you have given Choices and the Sentient Being.

This "fan fiction" () is nothing more than a veiled call to continue the harassment I have suffered from people like you for years. Do you have any idea what it's like to not be able to walk down to the spaceport without someone calling you an idiot, simply because they do not understand your genius?

If this continues I will contact a moderator and you can expect to hear from my attorney soon afterwards.

Good day,

Nieus P. Sovel

 

Yeah. Like, people would see me posting in the same threads as you and think I was tough too

 

Sovel: I'll see you in court!




JoD:






Oh, and TKL has organized a "Lurker appreciation week" starting today, including "buttons" and special days, so I would like to say if there is anyone reading this fic who is too shy to post, that I do appreciate them reading it Feel free to join in the fun if you want to As Anakin might say:

[image=http://myweb.cableone.net/agentj/starwars/images/anilurk.jpg]

Today is "Hug a Lurker Day" so:

And I am willing to go further than hugging



Thanks to agentj for making that "button" for me on request

 

*Comes out from lurking.* *Reads your offer. Runs back to lurking.*



[edit]Seeing as I've written a review for every chapter and just never pressed the "post" button, I'll just review the last chapter.

Trust the Force
How many times have we heard that line and had it end in disastor?

"Evil.. the Dark Side... war."

I'd either be thinking, "What else is new?" or "Can ya be more specific?"

"You will kill Jagged Fel."

Well that sounds nice and cheerful, doesn't it?

Brilliant!!!

My apologies for the lateness of my reply. I've recently been caught up in a battle in the defence of the Mandalore.

 

<<delurks>>

And I am willing to go further than hugging

I must admit that tempted me to come out of lurking? Um, just how much further exactly? And would you be dressed in the yellow cocktail dress and high heels as you um? give us lurkers our reward?

But, seriously, what really got me to post was the opportunity to meet the acclaimed Sullustan writer, mathematician, crackpot philosopher Nieus P. Sovel. *fangirls*

But of course if Jaina ever kills my Jaggie in this story, I?ll probably go back to lurking?

More later after I get my delurking reward.

 

*delurks*

*and shoves twinnie out of the way*

I get the reward first!

Seeing as I already confessed to lurking in this story, I'll admit to it publicly. I've got the yellow cocktail dress when you're ready.

And Jaina had better not hurt Jaggie! I hate when authors hurt Jaggie!

*back to lurking*

 

YK: And I am willing to go further than hugging

*delurks*



I blame this on your habit of wearing a cocktail dress while posting in Dark Paths...

evil twin

*and shoves twinnie out of the way*

I get the reward first!
Hey, can't we work something out? *pouts*

And Jaina had better not hurt Jaggie! I hate when authors hurt Jaggie!
Huh! Jag killer herself!

Yep, 'Ewok, I went looking for him in your thread, hoping to see him in the yellow cocktail dress.

 

JediCallista: *Comes out from lurking.* *Reads your offer. Runs back to lurking.*

I knew it would scare off people

[edit]Seeing as I've written a review for every chapter and just never pressed the "post" button, I'll just review the last chapter.

Okay

How many times have we heard that line and had it end in disastor?

Probably a lot. That Force is tricksy

I'd either be thinking, "What else is new?" or "Can ya be more specific?"

Yeah, I think that was basically her response

Well that sounds nice and cheerful, doesn't it?

Depends on your point of view Thanks for reading, Callista



Mandalorian: Brilliant!!!

Thanks

My apologies for the lateness of my reply. I've recently been caught up in a battle in the defence of the Mandalore.

No worries I wouldn't want anything to happen to Mandalore.



redlady: I must admit that tempted me to come out of lurking?



Um, just how much further exactly?

You don't want to know how far I'll go

And would you be dressed in the yellow cocktail dress and high heels as you um? give us lurkers our reward?

That's really only something I do for McEwok

But, seriously, what really got me to post was the opportunity to meet the acclaimed Sullustan writer, mathematician, crackpot philosopher Nieus P. Sovel. *fangirls*

Yes, he's incredibly popular with the ladies

But of course if Jaina ever kills my Jaggie in this story, I?ll probably go back to lurking?

I'll keep that in mind

More later after I get my delurking reward.

You'll have to PM me for that



TKL: *delurks*
*and shoves twinnie out of the way*

"This is getting out of hand. Now there are two of them!"

I get the reward first!

I appreciate the enthusiasm

Seeing as I already confessed to lurking in this story, I'll admit to it publicly.

Wait until everyone finds out!

I've got the yellow cocktail dress when you're ready.

I don't know if Elena has given me permission to don that in other threads

And Jaina had better not hurt Jaggie! I hate when authors hurt Jaggie!

I've heard otherwise about you

*back to lurking*

Thanks for shaming yourself, TKL



Thrawn: I blame this on your habit of wearing a cocktail dress while posting in Dark Paths...

Yes, my extracurricular activities have carried over into my own threads

*relurks*

You're not a lurker! You reply to almost everything I post




redlady: Hey, can't we work something out? *pouts*

Yes, there's no need to fight, ladies. I'm sure I have plenty of rewards for both of you

Yep, 'Ewok, I went looking for him in your thread, hoping to see him in the yellow cocktail dress.

Just so you know, I don't shave my legs when I'm wearing it



*hugs all around*

 

You never trust my OCs!

Yes, I know... what does that say about me? Or for that matter...you?

TKL : And Jaina had better not hurt Jaggie! I hate when authors hurt Jaggie!

You have got to be kidding! Some of know better!

 

Yes, I know... what does that say about me? Or for that matter...you?

I knew it was my fault


Okay new post coming in a sec...

 

First reply! *Goes to read*

[edit]Wait, where's the update?

 

Chapter 7: The Galaxy's Tentative Hold On Luke Skywalker

Four Chiss soldiers who had survived a gunboat crash found me last night as I was resting briefly. I suppose they imagined they'd gotten the drop on an Alliance pilot in a vulnerable state.

The survivors of the Battle of Chafour didn't live long.

I was on my feet with my lightsaber in hand before the first one could aim his charric, and the last thing any of them saw was a sweeping blue light before I allowed them to become better acquainted with the Force than they ever had been in life.

It was easy? it's always been easy for me. Many people know me as a great pilot, but what they don't realize, what the four Red Eyes found out last night, is that when it comes to a lightsaber, I am the best. I don?t say this to brag; it?s nothing to gloat about really. It's simply the way it is. The Force directs me, and I am its killing instrument.

It makes me a murderer.

And it is murder. Everytime. Especially when I'm facing someone who doesn't have a Wampa's chance on Mustafar of surviving. It's a war, they are my enemies, but it is anything but impersonal. When you slice through a living being with a lightsaber it's fast, but you're there for the entire moment. With the Force you can feel their agony, their life being extinguished...

How's that for the energy whose will we're supposed to obey?

And what's worse, what I've never admitted to before, but since I'm dying anyway I see no reason to deny now? A part of me loves it.

Perhaps its because I'm good at it... Perhaps there's simply too much of my grandfather in me. I don't know, maybe all Jedi feel this way.

I've never denied at the end of a rout victory against the Chiss or the Vong, when my squadron hasn't lost anyone and I've demolished every enemy in my path, a sort of post-coital satisfaction that comes over you. I know the other soldiers feel it too, we even talk about it sometimes...

I don't know if it's wrong, I don't really care at this point. I just know it's there.

You want to know the secret to good lightsaber fighting? Yes, it's the Force, of course, Jacen, but besides that, the sheer mechanics of wielding the weapon? Don't let the shiny blade and the quick slashes, spinning, lunging movement fool you? it's all in the foot work. Every movement, swing, parry, spin? all rests on your feet. It's also the hardest part of it, but that's the way things go sometimes.

I can't say it's ever been incredibly difficult for me though? but then, I can't help but believe in destiny can I?

"You will kill Jagged Fel."

Yes, those words ruined my life, but they weren't the first. Here are some others spoken by my uncle:

"I name you Sword of the Jedi. You are like tempered steel, purposeful and razor keen. Always you shall be in the front rank, a burning brand to your enemies, a brilliant fire to your friends. Yours is a restless life, and never shall you know peace, though you shall be blessed for the peace that you bring to others. Take comfort in the fact that, though you shall stand tall and alone, others take shelter in the shadow that you cast."

Essence Point! ?

The galaxy nearly loses a farm boy every time I think of that little jewel of wisdom Luke Skywalker decided to bestow upon me.

I probably should have tossed my lightsaber at him and ran off the stage that day. There was my choice, if I ever had a choice, but I stayed with it. I trusted the Force...

When the Miraluka told me what she saw me doing in the Force, I didn't believe her. I couldn't. I loved Jag. What could possibly drive a wedge between us, let alone lead me to murder him? But after my uncle's words at my knighting, and what a burden that had become, how could I not be a little apprehensive?

So listen to this: after my life was doomed for the second time with a statement by the Force using someone I know as it's talking head, where do I turn?

Jacen Solo.

Yes, I know what you're thinking, but he's my brother, and he's also ve

 

Second first reply! YAY!

Loved how she keeps pointing out the Essence Points. I like how she's sardonic about everything, even the worst things. It makes it a very good story!

 

Not delurking, of course, but here to say still loving this story.

I agree with Jedi Callista that the word "sardonic" really applies!

Great work, as always...
