Chapter 1: Taking over
"Myka, watch out!" The apprentice ducked a blast from a trooper. Zekk knew it was going to be messy, most of the time walking up to the head of a government and saying, "Hey you! Resign, I'm taking your job" doesn't go over to well. But this was just sloppy. The troops seemed reluctant to shoot either him or Myka. They were in no visible formation, The General Supreme, whose name was found out to be Cain Terrace, was giving vary vague orders. He showed no concern for the safety of his troops, just that they kill the two Jedi and that he got away. The last thing the pair wanted was to hurt any Ennthians, especially the soldiers that Zekk would soon command. Blaze and Avan gave cover fire with stun bolts while master and apprentice charged after the fleeing man. Zekk overtook him and slammed him against a wall. Myka turned to ward off any troopers that may have followed them.
"I'll give you anything, Jedi!" The coward against the wall stammered. "I have money! Lots of it! Ennth has beautiful women. Any one you like? I'll make sure she's yours!" Zekk rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"I will propose the deals here, Terrace. This is my one offer: hand control over to me, and I will let you go. Uninjured. You keep all your money."
"Fine! Please, just let me go!" No guts whatsoever. Pathetic.
"Good choice. Now here's the second part of the deal: If I ever catch you on Ennth again, or doing other troublesome things elsewhere, I will turn you over to the friends in high places that I know. Like Jaina Solo. Or Jagged Fel. Oh wait! That's right. I have a friend-of-a-friend. How 'bout old Bobba Fet?" The little man shook his head furiously.
"So we have a deal?" he squeaked.
"Yes. Now go tell your soldiers that I don't like them shooting at me and my companions." He nodded vigorously, drops of sweat flew off his forehead. Gross. Zekk and Myka followed him back to the clearing where Blaze and Avan were still fending off Ennthian troops.
"Stop! Stop!" Cain cried. The soldiers seemed relieved to not have to continue shooting, and lowered their weapons immediately. The resigning General Supreme briefly explained that he was stepping down and installing Jedi Zekk Jaunter as the new General Supreme.
Several hours later, the cowardly man stood on a balcony overlooking a large group of Ennthians. The presence of holocams indicated that his message was also being streamed to residents all over the planet.
"People of Ennth, I have called you today to inform you of something. I am resigning." He looked hurt as a cheer rose from about half the audience that was on location.
"However, as is my duty, I am appointing my successor before I leave. I present to you, my successor, Jedi Knight Zekk Jaunter." A gasp rose from the audience, and was hushed as Zekk strode out on to the balcony. Avan and Blaze had not been kidding; he was a bit of a legend. But the silence didn't last long. Soon cheers rose up from the whole crowd.
"As is custom, he will take control of this system at the end of this year, which, as you know, is in approximately three standard months. During that time, he will select for himself a bride..."
"A what?" Zekk exclaimed softly. Only Myka, who had come to stand beside him heard.
"Master, surely you remember that it is customary for the next General Supreme to marry a week before being sworn in to office."
"No, I forgot that." Myka laughed softly.
"Master gonna get hitched! Who's the ball-and-chain gonna be?" Zekk ignored her. Cain concluded his talk to the people, and they returned inside. "Jaina might look nice in an Ennthian wedding dress..." Myka's voice trailed off, and Zekk's face turned a reddish color. A month had past since Zekk had mentioned his plan to correct the corrupt government. During that month, he had read up on what he had missed on his year-long break from civilization, organized a few strategies, and somehow managed to get Jaina to go on a date with him. It had gone better than either had expected. Little daytime outings had been scheduled pretty regularly throughout the next few weeks, and several dinner dates. Myka had decided that they were "adorable together", and had taken to teasing the couple, which Jaina's apprentice, Jolvin, had begun to find amusing as well. "Do you think Jedi Solo would let me be her bridesmaid?" Myka grinned at her master as she said this.
"I think 'Jedi Solo' would tell you to shut up right about now."
~.~.~.~
Jaina Solo jumped out of her Stealth-X fighter and approached Zekk, as Jolvin exited his A-wing and approached Myka. Zekk smiled and extended a hand, which she took, and pulled herself closer to him to brush his lips with a soft, quick kiss before withdrawing to arms length. She noticed Myka snickering, and Jolvin trying (and failing) to hide a smirk. Zekk rolled his eyes at the two teenagers, and led her away.
"Are you up for a picnic? I'd love for you to see the Ennthian countryside, he said casually.
"Sure. Got any champagne? We need to celebrate," She replied.
"Celebrate what?" he asked quickly. She studied him curiously.
"Um, that in a few months you will be the General Supreme of Ennth? Does that ring a bell?" she said with a confused expression.
"Oh yeah, that." Zekk looked away. She squeezed his hand and smiled at him, and he smiled back.

So that was the first chapter of book two! OH MY GOSH I'M SO EXCITED! LOL! Anyway, the rating on this one may change to T, just as a head's up. I'm not sure yet. Also I'm having lot's of fun writing Myka's character. She's based off of me (But I am Tattoo free. The cross on Myka's cheek is symbolic to me because I am a devout Christian) and Jolvin is based off of a good friend of mine. ANYWAY... review review review!
Rock on Dudes and Dudettes!
