Return of the Empire

Chapter One

The halls of the Jedi Temple were all deserted except for one cloaked figure running down a hall, their boots clicking against the tiled floor. Their robe fluttered around them as they made their way out of the temple into the grounds. In front of the temple's entrance were two Jedi Masters facing off. The cloaked figure walked up to them while waving a femenim had out, a lightsaber flying into it. With a quick flip she landed in between the two masters her lightsaber ignighting meeting the purple blade in mid strike.

"Last I checked Jedi were supposed to fight Sith not each other." said the cloaked woman

"This matter concerns the Jedi Masters, not the Jedi Knights, you need to learn your place Jaina." said the master as he lowered his lightsaber.

"We have greater problems than a crisis in the Unknown Regions, I have just been sent word, to tell the Jedi Masters that Queen Mother Tenel Ka's daughter has been kidnapped by bounty hunters." said Jaina as she put her own lightsaber away and pulled off her hood, revealing her long brown hair.

Jacen walked over to Jaina his face pale, he grabbed her arm and turned her around to glare into her eyes, "When did you get this message?".

"About two minutes ago, she asked for Zekk and us to come help her get back Allana." said Jaina as she turned around to face the masters.

"I think that is best, the three of you are closest to the Queen Mother and are the ones she trusts the most." said Mara Jade Skywalker as she came out of the crowd of masters and looked at her niece and nephew.

"Thank you Aunt Mara." said both Jacen and Jaina as the bowed and left, heading towards the docking bay.

"Why are you so concerned about her child anyway?" asked Jaina as they looked for Zekk.

"You know why I care." said Jacen as he looked away from his twin.

"You're in love with Tenel Ka...wait! Allana is your daughter, no wonder she wanted to keep it a secret so bad." said Jaina as she continued looking for her friend.

"What's that supposed to mean?" asked Jacen as he frowned down at his twin.

"That she knew they wouldn't like it if they knew that Allana's father was not only a Jedi but not Hapan. Besides you're not exactly royalty or of high status." said Jaina as they came up behind Zekk

"Come on Bughugger, we have a mission." said Jaina as she walked over to the Falcon.

"Should we be taking the Falcon?"asked Jacen as he looked at his father's favorite ship.

"Dad's more likely to let us use his ship than Aunt Mara is, her ship is the only ship other than the Falcon." said Jaina as she turned the ship on using the Force and walked on board.

"True, let's go Zekk." said Jacen as the two men followed her onboard.

"We need to see Tenel Ka on Hapes and find out who kidnapped Allana, then we will know where to look for her." said Jacen as he took his seat behind Jaina.

"Yeah, hey Zekk, how's everyone been treating you lately. It seems the only people who trust me are my family and friends, the rest of the order thinks I'll go Joiner on them at any given moment." said Jaina dryly as she made the jump to lightspeed.

"It's about the same, except I'm not the niece of the head Jedi Master." said Zekk as he watched the stars blurr by them.

"True, so who would gain from kidnapping the Hapan princess?" asked Jaina as she unbuckled her crash webbing.

"Well the Hapans aren't exactly happy with her having a child in the first place but other than that I don't know." said Zekk

"I have an idea but...it's a stretch." said Jaina as she looked at her datapad.

"What?" asked Jacen concerned for his daughter's saftey

"What if someone found out that you are her father?" said Jaina "Do you realise how many enemies our family has?"

"Too many to count." said Jacen "The one thing I didn't want for Allana is happening, she's having the same childhood we did, running from assasins."

"You two turned out fine." Zekk pointed out "Besides you really don't have that many choices, not many of your enemies is willing to risk getting caught dealing with bounty hunters. Infact the only people I know of that would even consider it would be a Hutt or a Sith."

"That's it! Zekk you're a genius." said Jaina as she gave him a kiss in her happiness.

"What's it?" asked Jacen who was ignoring the flustered Zekk

"Gardega the Hutt is the daughter of Jabba the Hutt, our mother killed Jabba, it would make perfect sense if she was after Allana, to avenge her father." said Jaina.

"That would make sense but I sense that there is more to it than that." said Zekk as he looked cautiously at Jacen

"How so?" asked Jaina before following his gaze to Jacen who was spacing out. "He's having a vision again, this can't be good. We're coming out of hyperspace, do me a favor and strap him in." she continued as she put her crash webbing on.

As soon as the began to enter the atmosphere a comm channel was opened up and a Hapan commander came on the Falcon's screen. "Identify yourself and your reason for being here Millinium Falcon."

"Jedi Knights Jaina and Jacen Solo along with Jedi Knight Zekk are here at the request of Queen Mother Tenel Ka." said Jaina as she began to prepare for landing.

"Very well proceed to the main docking bay and wait to be escorted to the throne room. Out." said the commander

Jaina and the others soon landed and where escorted to the throne room to be met by Tenel Ka. Jaina noticed that Tenel Ka still held her composure even though she could clearly sense the sadness in the warrior queen. The three bowed before her before sitting beside her in the chairs she motioned for them to sit in. Jacen took her one hand in his and gave it a reassuring squeeze. Tenel Ka smiled sadly at him before clearing her throat and telling them all that had happened.

"Just what I thought, the Hutts have taken her." said Jaina.

"Then we will leave and get Allana back." said Jacen.

"No, Zekk and I will go save Allana, you will stay with Tenel Ka." said Jaina.

"What makes you think that I'm gonna sit around here?" asked Jacen

"Because Tenel Ka has to and Tenel Ka needs you. We will leave now, oh and Jacen no more children till your married please." said Jaina as she and Zekk left the throne room and headed to the docking bay.

"I hope she will be all right." said Tenel Ka as she watched her friends leave.

"Jaina will find her, she's never let me down before and she won't now." said Jacen as he put his arm around Tenel Ka's shoulder. Tenel Ka let her head rest on his shoulder as she let a lone tear streak down her cheek.

TBC...
