Chapter 1. Dejavu

It was happening now, it had happened, it will happened, and it was a dream or a vision. Many images passed through the mind of Luke Skywalker Grand Master of the Jedi Order. It started with a message from his now sister, "Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi… You're my only hope…" If Luke had known all that would have befallen he may just have stayed on Tatooine and rebuilt his uncle's farm. Many years later the Alliance was invaded by the Yuuzhan Vong. The war lasted five long bloody years. Afterwards the Killik invasion and then Jacen Solo's fall to the dark side and his rise as Darth Cadeus. ("Is this a dream?") Luke asked in the blackness of his mind.
Mara Jade Skywalker dies at the hands of her nephew a sad day for all Jedi. "No dad… This kill is mine…" even as the words leave his mouth it sends a chill down Luke's body, but didn't he speak with Jacen just yesterday or was that a dream as well. Jaina, his beautiful niece, the sword of the Jedi. She killed Jacen and in the end all he wanted was to protect his daughter from the death spores unleashed by the Moffs. So many people died and then Natasi Daala becomes Chief of State and she like so many people in the galaxy blamed the Jedi for what Jacen Solo did. Luke accepted exile and his son accompanied him to learn why Jacen fell to the dark side.
As they traversed the galaxy they crossed paths with Abeloth an ancient force being making the Jedi who were raised in the maw insane. They also encountered the lost tribe of the sith like Gavar Khai and High Lord Saarsu Taalon who wanted Abeloth to join them, but she wound up betraying them. Abeloth and her allies had taken Coruscant and Luke was getting ready to lead the Alliance forces into battle, then all went black…
(Skywalker…") A powerful mind reached out towards Luke, it wasn't Abeloth. Luke knew that foul presence anywhere, no this was something else.

Luke sat up in bed in a cold sweat, he was breathing heavy. He looked around his room confused. He checked the chrono by the bed, the time was 1:30 in the morning Coruscant time and the date, it was one year after the Yuuzhan Vong surrendered to the Alliance. He was aboard the space station New Hope which orbited Coruscant as scientists worked hand and hand with the Yuuzhan Vong to remove all the bio-plants and terrain from the planet.
Luke kept looking at the date, "That can't be right!"
Something in the bed stirred next to him, the covers were pulled back and Mara Jade Skywalker sat up and turned on the light. "Is everything alright…" She asked looking at the time. Luke jumped out of the bed summoning his lightsaber to his hand. Mara raised an eyebrow, "You want practice lightsaber combat at one thirty in the morning…"
It sounded like Mara, his senses even told him it was Mara, but Abeloth had a habit of taking the shape of others and possessing people's body's. "When we went searching for Thrawn's clone you got injured what did you tell me to say to you in order to wake you from the healing trance I placed you in…"
Mara sighed, "Okay I will play along… I told you to tell me you love me…"
It felt like Mara, it certainly was her force essence he felt, "Am I dreaming…"
Mara hunched her shoulders, "If you are then keep me out of them cause I would like to get my sleep… we have a long day ahead of us…"
Luke dropped his lightsaber, "Mara…" He walked in disbelief to the bed and sat down.
"Luke what is wrong with you…"
She asked as he touched her face then her hair and arm, "It is you…" He said giving her a big hug.
"Of course its me… You act like you haven't seen me three years…"
"More like twelve…" He leaned back and looked into her green eyes, with tears streaming down his cheeks.
"Do you want a med droid?'
He hugged her again, "I will never loose you again…"
She pushed him away, "Luke… calm down farm boy and tell me is going on…"
He laughed, "I don't know myself… I have this strange feeling of dejavue… Mara I am afraid… For the first time in long time I am afraid…"
"Of what?"
"That here and now is not real… and that I will wake up and you will be gone from me…"
"What are you talking about?"
"I just need to think and clear my head…"
"Well maybe you should meditate or have Cighal take a look at you again…"
He smiled, "I will meditate…" As Luke sat with his legs crossed on the side of the bed Mara watched him in great concern. She had never seen him so befuddled before. An hour passed before Luke opened his eyes and looked at Mara with tears running down his cheeks.
"What did you see?"
"Everything…" Luke stood up and sat beside Mara and took her hand, "I have to tell you something… I need to listen and keep a open mind…" Luke took a deep breath and started four years into the future with the Killik wars. Then he went into Jacen's fall to the dark side and his secret police. He reframed from laughing at the faces Mara made when he told her how Jacen tried to turn Ben to the dark side.
"A poison dart!" She blurted when Luke told her how she tried to kill Jacen and they fought in the caves of Kavan in the Hapes System. "A poison dart…"
"Mara I am serious…"
Mara cupped his face, "I believe you farm boy… For some reason I believe, but please finish…" He went on to tell her how after Jacen was killed by Jaina Daala became chief of state. Then the mad Jedi, Abeloth, and the lost tribe of sith.
"The last thing I remember is standing on the bridge with Leah… We were getting ready to attack Coruscant when… everything froze and went black… then I woke in bed next to you…"
Mara sighed, "I believe you but what do you think all this means… were you seeing the future…"
He sighed holding her hand, "I don't think these things will happened… I think they have happened and could happen again… I think it is another life that I have led in a different time… and here we are again one year after the Vong surrendered… only in the other time line all the Yuuzhan Vong departed on Zenoma Sekot… Nom Chorius didn't remain behind to help us fight the Yuuzhan Vong war lords…"
"Luke…" She paused not wanting to hurt his feelings and deny it she Mara felt he was telling the truth. "Okay if what you say is true… How did this happen…"
Luke shook his head and stood up, "The only thing I can think of is that someone out there used the force to alter time and space itself…"
Mara came to the edge of the bed, "Is that even possible…"
"I don't know for sure, but I intend to find out…"
"Does this mean we are not going back to bed…"
"I need to speak with the other masters…" That is when the door opened and little Ben came in with R2 following.
Mara scooped him up, "Did we wake you my little man…"
"Mommy your alive…" Luke and Mara looked at each other, "Did you have a bad dream?"
Ben was really upset, "Jacen stuck you and you died… Then Janaaa cut his arm off… Jacen was a bad man… I won't let him hurt you mommy…" The room shook from Ben's uncontrolled force burst.
"Luke!" Mara screamed when he reached his hand forward and put his son to sleep.
"I am sorry I couldn't think of anything else to do…" Mara gave him a venomous look as she rocked him in her arms.

An hour later the prominent members of the Jedi order met together in a private room on the eighteenth floor of the space station. They showed up yawning and rubbing their eyes. "Couldn't this wait until morning?" Kyle Katarn asked.
"I am sorry no… So we are all here let us begin…"
Saba slapped her tail on the floor, "Thiz one thinkz we zhould wait for Kenth Hamner…"
"Normally Master Saba I would agree with you, but considering what me and Mara just found out I do not think so… and besides I have a theory I wish to test… First of all have any of you felt a disturbance in the force or had the feeling of dejavue…"
They all exchanged looks with one another and it was Cighal who spoke first, "Yes I have… these really intense visions of Jedi going mad…" She looked at Corran, "Namely your children Master Corran…" He looked at her with a wry smile.
"I had that dream as well…" Kyle said, "…I also dreamed Master Skywalker had been sent into exile and Naatasi Daala became Chief of State…"
"And she was persecuting all Jedi…" Octa Ramis said finishing the sentence.
"Thiz one dreamed Mazter Hamner died becauze of her…"
The whole time Kyle Katarn was staring at Mara, she smiled at him. "is there something you wish to say Master Katarn…"
He cleared his throat, "I uh… Its so real… I dreamed you died at the hands of sith lord named Darth Cadues… and he was actually Jacen…" When he said this Cighal looked at Kyle then she looked at Mara and put her head down.
Kyp jumped up, "Luke are we going crazy or something…"
Luke smiled in a sad kind of way, "I ask you all to close your eyes and meditate… Let the force flow through you and all make sense then we can really talk…" As the masters obeyed one by one Luke kissed Mara on the cheek and then pulled her into his arms. She allowed it because it comforted his heart against a possible future.
Cighal was the first to come out of her trance, then Kyle, Saba, Kyp, Corran, Octa, Tionne who with her husband was transmitting from the maw installation. They looked at each other in confusion and then turned to Luke but no one was willing to break the silence.
"How did this happen…" Kyle asked.
Luke was still holding Mara, "I am not sure of all the implications, but I believe someone most likely a sith has used the force to alter time and space itself…"
"Is that possible?" Tionne asked via holonet.
"By the force yes… How I haven't a clue…"
"Wait so what we arrest Jacen so he doesn't become a sith lord and kill Mara… What if all of us are being manipulated by this Abeloth…" Kyp asked.
"Master Saba… You have been silent…" Mara said before Luke could respond.
Se looked up with tears in her scaley eyes, "Thiz one ashamed… Mazter Hamner will die because of uz…" She stood up and went to Mara, "Thiz one doez not want to looze you again…" Saba surprised everyone by hugging, "We zhall not be loozing you again…"
"I agree…" Luke said stroking Mara's hair.
"Luke… Um Master Skywalker… What is our first move…"
Luke set his face in stone and unfolded his arms, "Our first move is to officially set the Jedi Council…"
"I thought we were going to wait until after our meeting with the Chief of State…" Octa said.
"We can't wait on that…" They all agreed that Luke would head the council seconded by Kyle Katarn. The rest of the council would be Mara, Saba, Corron, Kyp, Cighal, Kenth, Octa, Sorn Desta, Nala Wen (female Twi'lek) and Hyrem Rel. "Now that is settled we need to push back our meeting with Cal Omas… We need to move fast and quick…" Luke turned his attention to Masters Tionne and Kam. "Masters Kam and Tionne evacuate the maw station immediately… We will keep the location of the Academy a secret, but for now head towards Endor I will ask Omas to provide a security force and escort..,"
"What about my children?" Corran asked.
"We are going to divide into teams… I will lead the one that shall deal with Abeloth, hopefully her death will keep those Jedi from going mad… Masters Katarn and Octa will lead a force to Kesh… Master Saba and Kyp will lead an assault force to deal with the killiks…"
"What of Master Hamner…" Cighal asked.
"Thiz one would like to tell him…" Saba said speaking up, "We feel it iz our duty…"
"As you wish Master Saba… Master Cighal would you research the archives on any force techniques that affect time… As for Jacen if you are all in agreement I would like to grant him the rank of Jedi Master…"
"Is that wise…" Kyp asked.
"I understand your reasoning Master Skywalker, but is that prudent…" Tionne asked rubbing her arms, because in the other time line she was severely wounded by one of Jacen's lackies.
"We assign him an apprentice… as for my son…" Luke looked at Mara, "…Mara and I will handle his training…"
"Does he remember anything…" Cighal asked.
"He has seen everything we have through the force…" Mara said answering.
"What about Han and Leah…" Saba asked.
"Mara and I will speak with them… Before we dismiss know this… anyone who could feel the force and died in the other timeline will have no knowledge of all this… and non-force users will have no knowledge at all, but a sense of dejavu…"

They all dispersed to fulfill there missions, just as the space station was coming to life. Han was still in bed when Luke and Mara came to there apartment. Leah invited them in and offered them caf. Han came out of the bedroom all disheveled and a mess.
"You Jedi can energize yourselves with the force… but us mere mortals need rest…" Han said.
"I apologize for the hour, but this couldn't wait…" The doors opened and Jaina came in, "Ah Jaina you are just in time…"
"Shouldn't we wait for Jacen…" Leah asked.
Mara hugged Jaina, "Actually we needed to speak with the three of you without him…"
Luke sighed, "Leah… Jaina… Have either of you felt a disturbance in the force... or had a sense of dejavue…"
"Yes I have…" Jaina said speaking up, "One minute I was flying my fighter getting ready to… go to Coruscant I think and then…. Boom I woke up on this space station a year after the Vong surrendered…"
"I had the same feeling… only I keep seeing this image of Jaina killing Jacen…"
Han stood up, "If this is about the force maybe I should leave…"
"No you should stay brother in-law…" Luke said. "Han I need you to be a little patient… Leah… Jaina… I need the two of you of you to clear your minds and meditate…" They did and Han got up to get caf as he waited, but something made him keep looking at Mara. Finally Leah and Jaina came out of there meditation, they both started crying.
Leah looked at Luke, "What does this mean?"
"Okay someone tell me what is happening…" Han said, "Luke why is my wife and daughter crying…" Luke didn't say a word, instead he walked up to Han and placed his hands on his head and through the force he showed him twelve years of memories.
As Luke returned to Mara's side, Han dropped his cup. C3P0 who had been shut down awoke, greeted everyone and cleaned the mess up. "Everything you saw and everything I showed you Han happened… I have theorized that someone probably a sith lord has used the force to alter time space…"
"For what reason?" Jaina asked.
"We do not know…" Mara said, "…but we are going to act. We have already chosen the Jedi Council… and as we speak Tionne and Kam are moving the younglings away from the Maw…"
"Three teams are being sent to deal with the Abeloth, the lost sith of Kesh, and the killiks… I will be leading the team that deals with Abeloth… Time is against us because the sith may already know what we know…"
"What about Jacen?" Han asked.
Jaina got up, went to the window, and watched the shuttles fly down to the planet carrying construction teams. Mara went up to her and comforted her knowing why she felt sad. "The council has agreed to make Jacen a Jedi Master… I will tell him myself… I wanted to ask you Mara and Leah to hunt down Alema Rar and Lumiya… They have no idea a change was made and they won't be expecting you…"
"I am going as well…" Han said.
"Oh great another adventure…" C3PO said.
Jaina dried her eyes, "Of course…"
"Allana!" Han said, "Are you going to tell Tenel Ka…"
"Anyone who feels the force and meditates… will know… I leave it to you Leah to talk about it with her…"
"Luke I have to ask…" Leah said, "Will this affect whether or not Allana is born… We can't go around giving Jacen dirty looks because he may turn to the dark side…"
"I have considered all those things Leah… and I will do all I can to make sure that doesn't happen…"
Mara hugged Jaina, then she hugged Leah, and finally Han, "Luke we should get going…"
"Yes of course…"

"I'll start packing…" Han said. "…3PO fire up the falcon…" The Solos were in a mood all day and despite what they had just learned they fought past it for the sake of their family.

Jacen walked with a sense of purpose, after all he had defeated Onimi the power behind the throne. He had touched an aspect of the force he had never seen before. A place where there was no light and dark only the force. He wondered if it had always bee there or did he imagine it. ("I have found the true nature of the force…") He thought to himself.
Jacenn made his way to his uncle's office and when he entered Luke sat behind the desk. For a minute Jacen thought he felt anger from Luke, but why would Luke be angry at him. "You wish to see me uncle…"
He smiled to reassure him, "Yes… the Jedi Council has been chosen… an emergency in the force is forcing us to act… That being said the council has agreed to make you a Jedi Master…"
Jacen beamed, "Me a master… but…"
"But what? If you recall your grandfather had a seat on the council… and while you aren't ready to sit on the council… You are ready to be a master… After all it was you who killed Onimi…"
"Thank you… uncle, but I don't know if I should accept… there is so much more I have to learn…"
"I think you are ready… Please accept…"
He smiled, "Okay I accept…"
"Then take a knee…"

Jacen was on top of the world and he wanted to share his news with Tenel Ka. "That is wonderful…"
He looked at her, "is everything alright… You seem befuddled…" Jacen said staring into her eyes.
"I am fine… Um I had just received some news from home and I am eager to return to the Consortium…"
"Any word on your father yet…"
Prince Isolder had been missing before the Yuuzhan Vong surrendered corsucant, "None yet…"
"I thought my uncle would have ann assignment for me, but he didn't so would like my help in searching for him…"
"Yes… I would like that… Now Jacen if you please… I need to be alone…" he kissed her on the cheek and left. The moment the door closed Jaina and Leah came into the living room.
"I am sorry Tenel… but Luke thought you should know…"
"And Jacen has no idea…"
"None whatsoever…" Jaina said.
"I need time to think…"

Luke had one more meeting and that was with Cal Omas the current Chief of State. He informed of the force theory to which he responded was crazy, Luke had to show him in the force the way he did with Han for him to believe him. then he informed Omas that the council had been already chosen and why Luke ordered all the fleet movements and military personnel transfers. When the meeting was done Luke met up with Mara and his team of Jedi. They left on their mission to find and destroy Abeloth.
