Beyond - Legends Three New Sailor Senshi (crossover with Sailor Moon) Rewrite started. Link on page 50.

Yes! i have more posts!

JediStarMoonstruck-Well, now you know, and knowing is half the battle(G.I. Joe!). You'll see.

Trickster_Jaina_Fel-Hey, my brain takes daily vacations to Margaritaville(metaphorically speaking, I've actually touched alcohol three times in my life, and I don't recommend it). I'll have to do that YJK index soon. And thank you. I try.

MoonChild-Zekk in drag...ah, no. The guys won't be doing the Sailor Starlights.


Spoilers.....
In the fifth season of Sailor Moon, Sailor Moon Stars, three Sailor Senshi from beyond the Solar System show up. In civilian form, they're men. When they transform into Senshi, they become...women.

And now for the post. It has action, suspense and pre-battle speeches!


*****
Zekk knelt down and fast drew his blaster. In the blink of an eye he fired off a dozen shots, all lined up with Jaedite's head. They would've killed him-if there wasn't a forceshield surrounding him. Jaedite looked at him and gestured at the remains of a mailbox. The blue box rose up and shot at Zekk, nearly killing him.

Jaedite walked forward, parrying Jacen's lightsaber blows with one arm while battling the rest of the Senshi and Jedi with the other. It was not going well. Sailor's Mercury, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Venus and Tuxedo Mask were down, injuries ranging from cuts and scrapes to broken bones and, in Venus' case a concussion. The Jedi weren't fairing good either. As a matter of fact, only Zekk and Jacen were still standing.

Jaedite chuckled. Soon, my master. Soon these fools will die, paving the way to our conquest.

Palpatine's spirit laughed as well. You have done well, my young apprentice. Suddenly the collapsed storefront blew open-but did not collapse the rest of the building. Three figures stepped out, looking like?Senshi?

Zekk squinted his eyes and looked into the clearing dust cloud. His emerald orbs widened as he saw his friends?in radically different attire. Sailor Jupiter, who was kneeling beside Neptune and Uranus, glanced up and saw Tenel Ka. She nodded in her direction and thought. Well, next time it'll be a little more even.

Jaina stepped forward. She wore a gray skirt with matching ankle-high boots. Her Sailor Fuku had a black bow on front with a ribbon tied at the back around her waist. She pointed at Jaedite and said. "I am Sailor Corellia! You have injured my friends and tried to take over this planet. I won't allow it!"

Tenel Ka stepped forward. Her skirt was as red as her hair, with matching high heels and bow in front. She put her hands on her hips and leaned forward. "I am Sailor Dathomir! Your attacks reek of the Dark Side, and that is a fact."

Finally, Tahiri stepped forward. Her skirt was dark yellow, the color of sand. He knee-high boots, ribbon on front and back all matched. "And I'm Sailor Tattooine! What you do is evil, and I can't forgive you for that." All three girls struck the same pose; left arm bent in V-shape in front, with right arm pointing ahead just above the elbow. They all spoke simultaneously.

"In the name of the Force, we'll punish you!"

Jaedite blinked in massive confusion. "What? More Senshi? I'll kill you all!" he shot lightning at them, but hit nothing but air.

Tattooine jumped up and put her arms out. She faced her hands palm out and shouted. "Tattooine Sand Blast!" A huge sandstorm erupted from her hands, enveloping Jaedite and, most important, penetrating his forceshield!

Jacen saw his chance and swung, battering down his guard and knocking his sword away! Jaedite stepped back-directly into Sailor Corellia's line of fire. "Corellia Starburst!" A wave of red energy shot from her outstretched palm, hitting the Youma in the back-and drawing greenish blood.

Sailor Dathomir stepped forward. "I believe it is my turn. Dathomir heat wave!" A bluish flame formed around Sailor Dathomir, shooting out and engulfing Jaedite. By this time the surviving Senshi had regrouped end were pouring attacks into him. Still it wasn't enough.

 

*sides hurt from laughing* I'm loving this!!!!!!

*looks up*

Uh? Is it over? The bad guy is gone. That normally means an end?

 

No!!!!!!! It's not over! Sorry about that!

This story is over. Hovever, I have two more ready to go. Both will be going on this thread.

Spoilers....


'Awaken the Power! The Sailor Jedi's Arrival'- The YJK are back in their own galaxy, but they're uncertain about their new powers. Suddenly, Luna and five Sailor Senshi teleport in and want to be trained as Jedi Knights! Meanwhile, Lumiya, Mistress of the Sith, has amassed a cabal and is ready to strike!

'Brakkis Lives? The Search for More Sailor Jedi Begins!'-Brakkis and Tamith Kai have survived the Shadow Academy's destruction and are hellbent on revenge. Their methods force Luna to reveal a secret-there are more Sailor Senshi! It's a race against the Sith for an artifact of unimaginable power, and failure means death for the galaxy.

So, no. It's not over. Heck, it's just beginning...

 

Works for me!!!!!!!

 

Can't wait!!!! I love the attacks!!

 

JediStarMoonstruck-I'm glad you like!

MoonChild-Thanks. It took me a bit to figure out their attacks, but it worked out. The toughest ones were the next batch of Sailor Jedi.
And now, the post. This one wraps up this story, but like I said, there'll be more to come. I'll admit, this one isn't good, but I try.

Epilogue
As soon as Palpatine's scream dissipated, Jacen left the circle and ran up to Sailor Dathomir. The warrior Jedi stood there with hands on her hips-hands? Jacen stared open-mouthed at her left arm. Instead of a stump just below the elbow, she actually had a full forearm and hand! Dathomir looked down at where Jacen was staring and saw her own arm. Surprise blossomed on her normally stoic face, and a gasp escaped her lips. She raised her arm and clenched and unclenched her new hand. "Is this?real?" She asked.

Jacen stepped forward and grabbed the hand. He held it up and lightly touched her wrist, feeling for a heartbeat. Dismay colored his face, as he felt none. He turned his head and spotted Sailor Pluto. "Hey, Setsuna? Is regeneration a Senshi power?"

The guardian of time stepped from the group and walked over to the pair. Her scarlet eyes darted over Dathomir's new arm. "I?don't know." She glanced over her shoulder at the other Sailor Senshi. "The greatest handicap any of us had was Ami's. She needs reading glasses when in civilian form."

Mercury stepped forward, and a bright light enveloped her. When it faded, Mizuno Ami stood there. She reached into a purse slung across her shoulders and pulled out a pair of spectacles. "I use them for studying." She said.

Sailor Corellia and Luna walked over to Dathomir, Jacen and Pluto. Her gloved hand absently brushed against her black skirt-and her lightsaber. She looked down in surprise. "Huh? What's my lightsaber still doing here?" She unclipped it and ignited it, sending an electric-violet blade shooting forth. A thought struck her. "Zekk!" She shouted. Can you come here for a second?" The lanky young man walked toward his girlfriend. "Great." She said. "Shoot me."

Zekk's green eyes bugged out. "Shoot you? Is that uniform cutting off circulation to your brain?"

Corellia groaned. "Just do it!" Zekk pulled out his blaster pistol and lined the young woman up in its sights. He slowly pulled the trigger, and a blood-red bolt spat out at Corellia. She raised her blade up and artfully deflected it away.

I can still use the Force as a Sailor Senshi. She thought. A sudden cry diverted her attention to the right. Tenel Ka stood there clad in bright-green lizard-and once more missing her left arm. Luna walked up to her and craned her neck up. "I'm sorry about that, Tenel Ka."

The young woman blinked back unusual moisture in her gray eyes. "It is all right." She said.

Flashes of light enveloped the Senshi as they reverted to their civilian identities. A loud crash caused everyone to whip his or her heads around in the direction of a collapsed storefront-the one Sailor Saturn was thrown through. Anakin, Haruka and Michiru ran over. "Hotaru!" Anakin yelled. He reached out and began telekinetically clearing debris away.

Haruka flew there. her feet barely touching the ground, and began lifting away rocks Anakin hadn't gotten to. "Hotaru! Say something!" She yelled. Eventually, a small, limp body was pulled from the wreckage. Hotaru's chest rose and fell in great heaves as she gasped for air. Haruka and Michiru both set her down, careful not to jar her neck around too much. Meanwhile, Lusa and Ami ran over. The young centaur pulled out a bacta patch and slapped it on a long, bloody gash across her forehead.

Ami pulled out a slim case and opened it up, revealing a powerful mini-computer. She scanned Hotaru. "She has no internal injuries, and the cut along her forehead is the worst of it."

Lusa looked at the small technological marvel. "That's pretty neat." She said.

Ami smiled and nodded. "Thank you."

Hotaru let out a moan of pain as consciousness returned to her. Her violet eyes opened, settli

 

They're home! I can't wait to see everyone's face!!

Question: are Hotaru and Anakin..well, are they together in these fics?

 

JediStarMoonstruck-Wait and see. Wait and see. Hotaru's not used to romance, and Anakin's slightly dense when it comes to that.

Anyway, here's the start of my new story. It sets the tone, and I didn't do too much concerning Han, Leia and Teneniel Djo's reactions. This is actually a sequel to 'Three New Sailor Senshi'. Here we go!

Awaken the Power! The Sailor Jedi's Arrival

Chapter One: Old Enemies
Along the border between the New Republic and the Imperial Remnants lay Tangrene, a fortress planet controlled by neither. A small fleet orbited the rocky planet, all Imperial vessels-though no one aboard would claim allegiance with the Remnants. According to the crews of those ships, they were the true Imperials, not the traitors on Bastion.

One day a small ship approached the planet, a cargo ship called the Gravedigger. Normally such a vessel would be blasted into oblivion by turbolaser blasts-but not today. Today the box with engines was allowed to land in the I.S.S. Behemoth's shuttle bay. A greasy fellow disembarked named Shivre Loif. He was carrying a small sheet of metal bent in half and held together by a lock. White-armored stormtroopers escorted him to a door and motioned him to go in. Shivre wiped his hands on his pants, but the door slid open before he could touch the control panel.

He stepped into a darkened room, lit only by candles at the far end. "Lady, I got your map." Shivre tossed the bent metal into the room. It landed with a thud in front of a woman sitting in a chair in the center of the room.

She leaned over and picked up the metal. She examined the lock, and one could hear the whirring of gears and motors as she flexed her fingers. She looked up at the smuggler. "Where is the key?"

That caught Shivre by surprise. "Huh? You're a Jedi or something. Open it with your mind. I don't have time to-" He stopped talking as his train of thought-and oxygen supply- was suddenly cut off.

She ran a gloved hand over the lock, a simple clasp with a small bowl-shaped indentation in it. "This lock was forged with Sith alchemy. I can't simply 'open it with my head' as you suggest." By then Shivre was dead and was being dragged from the hallway. The woman, a bitter woman named Lumiya, examined ancient glyphs carved into the metal. She picked out words, eventually forming them into basic.

The key to power resides in the Kaiburr crystal. Find it, and you will resurrect an empire.

Jaina Solo couldn't help but be ecstatic. Four days ago she and her friends had nearly died when the ship she was piloting plowed into a hyperspace instability. She and her friends, young Jedi trainees, had landed on a planet called 'Earth'. Landing there for repairs, they met nine remarkable young women, and each endowed with a special power and the ability to transform into soldiers of the Force known as the Sailor Senshi. Eventually the Senshi and Jedi had teamed up to fight an old enemy of both, and in the process Jaina and two of her friends, Tenel Ka and Tahiri, had gained Senshi powers along with their already incredible Jedi powers.

Now they were back in their own reality, and ready to return to Yavin IV. Jaina was piloting with the help of Lowbacca, her Wookiee friend and fellow trainee. She set the controls for Yavin IV. "You know, Lowie. I have a good feeling about this." She turned to the lanky walking carpet sitting next to her and smiled. "I can't wait to see the look on Uncle Luke's face when we transform into Senshi."

Lowie bared his fangs in a smile and pointed out the window. On his belt sat a little translator droid named M-TD. "Mistress Solo, I suggest you look out the window before you?oh dear."

Jaina slowly turned to the cockpit window, smile fading as she saw several ships outside. The first one was a battered X-wing fighter with several dozen kill marks along its sleek fuselage. The second was an even more battered YT-2300 Corellian freighter. The final ship resembled a flying castle straight out of a fairy tale.

 

JediStarMoonstruck-Wait and see. Wait and see. Hotaru's not used to romance, and Anakin's slightly dense when it comes to that.

No fair!! I'm a strict A/T person!!!!!!

I am glad to see the Outers! I was afraid when I saw five it would be the Inner Senshi and not the Outer ones. Through it might be fun to see Luke train Usagi!!

I feel sorry for Tenel Ka.

Here's a question: how come there are no Jedi Tuxedo Kamen?

 

Checks thread Where is...anyone?

Thanks for sticking with me, JediStarMoonstruck. I'll have a reply and new post tomorrow...and maybe some lurkers could begin posting...

 

hey! i finished the first one, but the beginning of the second will have to wait until after school

great job though it was kinda funny to hear tk, tahiri and jay talk in senshi form "You reek of the dark side and this is a fact!" lol....classic tk, but so....not

back later!

~TJF

 

*screws her head back on straight and tries to think so she can type up a reply to this wonderful fic*

Same with TJF, I didn't have a clue as to what the Sailor Moon stuff was. I don't think I want to know about the heart thingy though.

Sorry, I hate pink, bows, hearts, and frilly stuff. Strangely enough, I like these girls. (even though they have bows)

You said something about more posties?....

And I vote for the A/not-Tahi-girl pairing. Sorry, I can't remember their names....

 

Walks back into thread
JediStarMoonstruck-Sorry, but it won't be A/T here. They're still friends, but not beyond.
Luke training Usagi...that could turn him to the Dark Side, and it wouldn't be pretty.... And Jedi tuxedo Kamen?!!??? Ah, maybe...later on.

Trix-Hey! Glad to see your PC problems are taken care of. Yeah, Sailor Moon can be slightly corny, but it was started in 1992. The girls would be...weirder.

Agent_Jaid-Welcome! This is wonderful? So, you like it even though they've got bows. Don't worry, Sailor Moon has that effest on people. When I first saw it in 1995, I had no idea what was going on. Now I love it and have the first 4 seasons on DVD. And you want Anakin and Hotaru? You got it.
Here's my next post. Enjoy!

*****
The Star Destroyer Fury rocketed through hyperspace. A kilometer-long arrowhead of destruction, its sole purpose was killing. At the helm sat Leonia Tavira. Although thirty-nine, she could've passed for twenty-one easily, with short, bobbed hair and a body that hadn't quite grown out of adolescence. She wore a slightly oversized Admiral's uniform, giving her the appearance of a child playing dress-up. However she looked, she and the ship were still under the command of Lumiya, Dark Lady of the Sith. What she said went.

Leonia was known for an ability to dig information out, no matter how long it had been buried. When Lumiya directed her to find the Kaiburr Crystal, she immediately knew where to go-Luke Skywalker's journals. Hacking into Coruscant Security would've been costly, so she parlayed other 'talents' of hers and got access. The first entries were fairly fruitless, until he mentions a visit to a planet in the Outer Rim and an encounter with Darth Vader. Paydirt she thought. Her suspicions were confirmed when it mentioned an 'item of unknown significance'. That sealed it for her.

A comm officer in the crew pit at her feet interrupted her musings. "Admiral? There's a signal coming in on red channel from Tangrene."

Leonia nodded as she walked to the back. She entered a turbolift and was sped off to her quarters. She stepped off and made a beeline for her room. Red channel meant only one thing-Lumiya was calling.

Leonia entered her room and stopped on a metal plate in the center of the room. A ring of blue light surrounded her, scanning her image and transmitting it to Tangrene. In front of her, a ghostly image appeared. It was Lumiya. "Report." She said.

The young Admiral half-smiled. "We're on our way to Nal Hutta to pick up supplies. After that we're off to Yavin IV."

Lumiya nodded. "What will be your E.T.A.?"

Leonia thought for a second. "Two weeks."

Back on the Behemoth, Lumiya groaned at the news. Two weeks was a long time, but without those supplies, her ships wouldn't run. "Very well. But remember this; if you don't get the Kaiburr Crystal, I will squeeze your neck so hard your head will pop off!"

A look of fear crossed Leonia's young face as Lumiya disconnected the comm signal. The Dark Lady of the Sith turned to two women standing in the room's shadows. "Phase one will soon be complete." She said to them. The first woman was clad in an Admiral's uniform and had light red hair. Her face would've been described as pretty if it didn't carry such a tired expression. The second woman was slightly shorter, with a lithe body topped by short dirty blond hair and barely covered by a short dress and vest. The first woman, Admiral Daala, spoke up. "I hope you know what you're doing, Lumiya. I didn't betray the Remnant for nothing."

The second woman rolled her eyes. "She knows what she's doing, Daala. She isn't the current Sith Lord for nothing."

Lumiya regarded the woman. She was Lumiya's apprentice in the ways of the Sith, a former Jedi named Callista. Callista bit her lip as she worked up the courage to question Lumiya. "Mistress." She started. "Are you sure about your vision? Do we need another?"

Lumiya smiled, then brought her cybernetic hand up and squeezed. Callista's cheeks began turning crimson a

 

Almost forgot. Jaid, there's a dramatis personae on the first page. You've probably already read it, but I just wanted you to know about it. And four of the Senshi in the second story are the 'Outer Senshi'. They're from the outer reaches of the Solar System, and are more powerful and 'tough' than the others. Mercury's an 'Inner Senshi', but she's also my favorite, so I had to have her in this one.

 

Anakin turned to Tahiri, face hot with anger and embarrassment. "Do you ever stop to think before you open your mouth?" His young face twisted in a scowl as he ran after the young Senshi, leaving a thoroughly ashamed and embarrassed young girl behind.

You're going scare all my FADA friends away!! (FADA: major A/T fans, majority of them).

Otherwise, great post! I feel bad for Hotaru and Tenel Ka. Maybe there is a way for her to keep her arm while not in Senshi mode at the end of the fic.

 

upping this so I can find it latter

note the ami in the name. . . that's Ami Mizuno NOT Amidala Go Anime'

Whoooohooooo 8 day to Sugoi Con!!!!!!!

 

JediStarMoonstruck-Don't worry. Anakin and Tahiri will make up-just not as much as you might want them too. And the arm thing...wait and see.

maramijade-Welcome! Yeah, it's Ami Mizuno, not Amidala. And have fun at sugoi con.

And now the post. Nothing much to say here, except enjoy!

Haruka looked out the window. She was bored, terminally bored. She wasn't running. She wasn't dueling with a lightsaber. She was in a classroom with beings half her age learning the basics of the Force. It was humiliating! The instructor was droning on about the three basic Force powers; sense, alter and control. Haruka's eyes began to glaze over, almost falling into a meditative trance, when?

A chime sounded, startling Haruka into consciousness and nearly pitching her out of her chair! The instructor, a middle-aged man named Kam Solusar, glanced at a datapad before calling out his final instructions. "Remember to practice meditative healing. And don't overexert yourselves while doing it."

Haruka shuffled out of the classroom. The tall blond looked around and spotted her friend, Kaiou Michiru. The petite woman with aquamarine hair walked up to her companion and walked beside Haruka. "How was class?" She said.

Haruka blew a strand of hair out of her eyes in frustration. "It isn't fair! Setsuna and Hotaru are already training with stun sticks and researching lightsaber construction techniques. And you and Ami are doing levitation!"

Michiru pursed her lips. "I know it seems unfair, but you did make that comment to Master Skywalker when we were tested. You do have a lot of pride." She quickened her pace so she could spin around and face Haruka while walking. "There are storm clouds coming. The wind has paused, and is gathering strength. Pride now would be incredibly dangerous."

Haruka gasped. "Have you had a vision?"

Michiru nodded all trace of fun gone from her brown eyes. "I was meditating when I received a vision. One of us fell to the Dark Side, bringing ruin to us all. I transformed into Sailor Neptune and tried to use my mirror to find the evil."

Haruka glared at her best friend. "Are you saying I'll bring ruin?" She looked down. "Michiru...I-" Her voice broke as unwelcome tears threatened to burst.

She felt Michiru pat her on the shoulder. "I know you would never willingly hurt any of us. You're too noble for that. Besides, your hair isn't long enough."

Haruka blinked twice at that. "What?"

Michiru led her down the corridor, talking all the while. "In my vision, the one who fell had long hair and a lightsaber."

Haruka nodded at that. "It's not me, then. I won't have a lightsaber for a while." She thought for a minute; Hotaru's hair didn't reach her shoulders, so she was out. That left only one other person. "Do you think it could be Setsuna?"

Michiru stopped in front of a door. "Ask her yourself." She said before opening it. Haruka peeked inside and instantly groaned. "Hello, Setsuna." She said.

Inside stood Mizuno Ami, Meiou Setsuna, Tomoe Hotaru- and Luke Skywalker. Haruka instantly bowed before the Jedi. "Master Skywalker!" She looked up. "I'm ready to fight the evil! Whoever it is, I'll stand side by side with you."

Luke nodded towards the tomboy. "I thank you for that, but I hope you can keep your aggression in check in the coming weeks." He nodded towards Michiru. "Michiru and I had nearly identical visions. In them, a woman with long hair was brandishing a lightsaber at us. The blade wasn't red, but the surrounding area was too bright to get a color." He gestured toward Setsuna. "Can you tell us anything?"

The guardian of time shook her head. "You yourself told me. 'Always in motion is the future'. I'm sorry, but it's as clouded to me as it is to you."

Ami spoke up. "There must be something we can do! One of our friends is in danger, and we must do something about it." She looked at the older women and man, feeling all their eyes on her. "I'm sorry." She muttered.

To her surprise, Luke smiled at her. "That is exactly the type of attitud

 

I've got two choices for the one who turns to the Dark Side. Question is which one is right? ?

 

Whom do you suspect?

 

Tenel Ka (don't kill me!) and Callista (I know, she's already a Dark Jedi, but she does have long hair and was friends with Luke for awhile. It could be that they are misunderstanding the vision and the vision is warning them of her).

 

You shall find out tomorrow, JediStarMoonstruck. In the meantime, I'm off until tomorrow, when I'll have the next post ready. In the meantime, up!

 

I... I... I... TENEL KA!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

JediStarMoonstruck-You're right about one of them.

Agent_Jaid-Did I strike a nerve? Good. Now you shall see.

Okay, I know I've got other eaders here (-Tenel-Ka-, Emmie and TFJ). Here's the next post. I hope you like.

*****
Luke found himself in the Grand Audience Chamber a half-hour later. With him were several people he knew would be vital to any rescue attempt. The Sailor Senshi were present, as well as Jacen Solo, Zekk, Anakin Solo and Lowbacca. All 12 of them were standing on the main stage in a loose semi circle. In the middle was a holo-projector.

Luke held up his hand and activated it. A three-dimensional image of Leonia appeared. "This is Leonia Tavira. About twenty-three years ago she married the Moff of Eiattu. After Endor he killed himself-or she killed him, we don't know. She assumed control and siphoned away the plant's wealth. When the planet was liberated she fled with most of the wealth and an Imperial-Class Mark II Star Destroyer."

Zekk stroked his chin in thought. "When I was a bounty hunter I ran across some of her old associates. Every one of them were used up, but in absolutely no position to do anything about it."

Luke nodded. "The last we heard of her was about five years ago. She had thrown in with pirates near Dantooine, and had lost big. She barely escaped with her life."

Jacen nodded eagerly. "Okay. Let's find her!" He looked around at his friends. "Come on! An Imperial Moff has kidnapped our friend! We've gotta rescue her!"

Setsuna held up her hand in a calming gesture. "We know, Jacen. However, getting us worked up will solve nothing. We need a plan."

Haruka spoke up. "More importantly, we need to know just where this little tramp took Tenel Ka." She looked at Luke. "I assume you've dealt with Imperial kidnappings before?"

Luke shook his head. "I believe we're dealing with more than a simple kidnapping. Leonia ransacked my office, looking for something. I took inventory and found I was missing a lightsaber." He sighed. "The focusing crystal I used was called the Kaiburr crystal. I found it about a year after the Battle of Yavin. It has Force power, but not much."

Ami hesitated for a second before speaking. "Do you know its history, Master Skywalker?"

The Jedi Master shook his head. "No. The temple where I found it no longer stands." He looked around at his students. All of them looked anxious, especially the Senshi. " Jacen, I want you to start investigating where Leonia might've gone. Find out what Star Destroyer that was."

He turned to the Senshi. "I need you five to step up your training. Ami, Setsuna, Hotaru, Michiru, I need you to start lightsaber construction." The four girls nodded. Haruka, the one left out, waited for a bit, wondering what Luke was going to say to her. Finally, he turned to the Amazon and cleared his throat. "Haruka, I need you to help Tionne in researching the Kaiburr Crystal. Any information we can find about it will be vital."

Haruka's face fell as she realized what she'd be doing. Stuck with the bookworm in some dusty library? "Yes, Master." That was all she could say before she turned from the group and headed off the stage.

Michiru watched as her companion walked off. "Master Skywalker, I don't mean to presume, but why are you sending Haruka off to do research? Wouldn't Ami or I be better?"

Luke allowed himself a tight smile as he addressed Michiru. "Haruka's learning to control her pride and anger, but she still needs time. I have a feeling this mission will aid her in that." Michiru nodded, apparently satisfied with the explanation.

Jacen grabbed Zekk's sleeve and began dragging him off. "Come on." He said as the two entered a turbolift. To his credit, the older and stronger former 'Darkest Knight' didn't smack the manic Jacen.

Instead he simply pulled away, grabbed him by the sleeve and spun him around. "Anxious, aren't we?" Zekk sighed. "Jacen, we won't get anywhere going all half-cocked like this."

Jacen's eyes bulged in anger as he grabbed Zekk by his jump

 

Sorry. I would have read this last night, but I wasn't feeling well.

Uncle Luke told me about the last Sith Lord. Her name's Lumiya. The problem is Uncle Luke used to be in love with her."

When in the Force did THAT happen?????

Tenel Ka's too smart for such tricks!!!!!!!!!! *whacks Lumiya with metal rod*

 

JediStarMoonstruck-Hey, no problem. There's a flu bug in New Hampshire, and I've got it as well. Lumiya and Luke first met in the old Marvel comics. Her name was once Shira Brie, and she trained under Vader.

Looks around Sigh...Ah, well. Thanks for sticking by me. I know some people have read this, so I'll post. Here it is

*****
The quartet of ladies found Luke down in the bowels of the Great Temple. He was down in the Academy's communication center. On the main view screen was an old man in a white Imperial uniform. Luke turned to the four young ladies as they exited the turbolift. "Ah, I'm glad to see you made it so quickly." He turned back to the screen. "Thank you for the information, Admiral Pellaeon." He reached out and switched off the view screen. "Lumiya's forces are orbiting a planet called Tangrene. According to Grand Admiral Pellaeon's sources, they're getting ready to leave for a planet known as Korriban within five days."

Ami quickly produced her computer and inputted hyperspace calculations. "The Rock Dragon can be there in three days." She said.

Jaina pursed her lips together as she processed the information. "That's a fairly wide margin of error." She paced around for a bit, talking to herself. "It'll take a fairly short time to assemble a rescue team, but penetrating Lumiya's forces won't be a challenge."

Luke nodded in admiration. "Not bad, Jaina, but Lumiya is the current Sith Lord. She also has command of a considerable task force. We should be cautious."

Jaina looked like she was about to protest, but was cut off by the turbolift doors opening again. Jacen, Zekk, Anakin, Tahiri, Lowie, Michiru, Luna and Haruka spilled out. "Okay, next time we ride in separate cars." Zekk said. He glanced at everybody else. "Are we ready?"

Jacen walked up to Luke; his brown eyes lit up with urgency. "Uncle Luke, we're going soon to rescue Tenel Ka, right?"

Luke put his hands on Jacen's shoulders. "Jacen, I know how you feel about Tenel Ka. I've felt the same way before. But there's more to this than a simple kidnapping." He let go and turned to Haruka. "Haruka, would you please share what you've learned about the Kaiburr Crystal?"

Haruka stepped forward and pulled out a crystalline sphere from her pocket. "While 'helping' Tionne with research, I stumbled upon this sealed box. Tionne didn't know what it was for, but something in it rattled around. I couldn't open it either, so I sliced it open with my space sword." She made a slashing motion with her hand. "We found this trinket inside. It's a holographic projector, detailing what the Kaiburr Crystal's used for. Believe me when I say it's not pretty. Apparently there was an old Empire run by Dark-Siders, and they had a book." Haruka's body went tense as she thought about what she read. "Master, why would anybody want to rip a hole open to hyperspace?"

Luke's face drained of color. "By the Force?" He whispered. Everybody in the room picked up on the rising despair in the Jedi Master's soul.

Zekk was the first to approach him. "Master Skywalker, what is it?"
