"You do know that Cali and Cye are on and off like a light switch right?" Syen said scowling at Leia.
"Yes I didn't mean to offend her Sy."
"Well, I think we had better go on a long holiday." Syen said pushing his hair back.
"No, Cye wo-"
"You said it yourself; he doesn't need to be provoked but you have provoked him so go and pack, I'll sign off until this blows over." Syen commanded his face stern.
"Cali isn't going to tell Cye anything."
"I am not going to risk Kayl or Padme Leia."
"Padme is my daughter not yours."
"Oh so now you don't need me to wake up in the middle of the night or feed her she's just yours? OK then Leia, Kayl is my son, Leia is your daughter, Kayl and I are leaving first thing in the morning."
"Kayl isn't even your son!"
"He is to me." Syen said as he slammed up the stairs and smashed into their room. Leia sighed she just should of kept her mouth shut.


"Captain Rex from the 501st." Ahsoka answered, all she seemed to do was answer questions.
"He was in Anakin's squad." Shaak Ti mused.
"Yes."
"Why did he not turn."
"I don- He wasn't susceptible to Palpatine." Ahsoka said nervously.
"Is he the Father?"


Cye stared threw his viewport down at Naboo. He tore his hungry eyes away from the planet and sat on his throne. It didn't feel right. He got up and entered his quarters and sat on his armchair; he wasn't comfortable.
"Father?" Kallium greeted with a smile.
"Ah, yes son?" Cye said getting up again and shaking his son's hand.
"I was wondering if I... could maybe, if it's okay with you... stay here for a while." Kallium said over the course of a few minutes.
"Yes, yes of course you may but may I ask why Kallium?"
"I prefer Kal.. and well I don't want to be at the temple at the moment."
"Come let us explore the planet." Cye said hoping his son would accept.
"Mom is down there though. I sort of didn't tell her I was leaving the temple..."
"Your mother will just be happy to know your safe Kallium."
"Can we go and see her?"
"If you want."
"Thanks Father."
"You are welcome now go and get ready your quarters are three doors down to the right." Cye said trying to sound enthusiastic at the thought of seeing Cali.
"Ok, meet you in the Hangar?"
"No, the Cargo bay in section F, my shuttle is there is white the only one of its kind."
"Ok." Kallium said awkwardly before turning and running off up the corridor.

Cye walked down to the Cargo bay as his men parted to allow him passage. Is this really what I want? Cye thought as he entered the bay to see Galen Marek standing beside his ship. Cye walked rather quickly over and stood just out of lightsaber reach from his old friend.
"Cye, Juno wasn't in her quarters, neither was Kento," Galen started as he settled one year old Kaleb.
"Kallium took her there personally, he did not say anything about her leaving."
"Cye she isn't there."
"I will set a squadron to look for her." Cye said turning around and walking away.
"No. Let her do what she wants, when she appears again tell her I'll be waiting at home for her."
"Home... Yes of course."
"I may not always like you Cye but I think it's time for you to come home."
"I am home Galen." Cye said turning around to face him.
"No, you're not home is on Naboo and you know it."
"I chose to be here, this is my home."
"Home is where your heart is. Not where you chose or want to be."
"A heart is an organ nothing more. We feel only due to chemicals Galen."
"You know what I mean." Galen said with a smug smile.
"You are most likely needed on the battle field." Cye said uninterested in the war as far as Galen could see.
"There's no fighting, the Rebbies aren't attacking an neither are we so Naboo gets some peace I guess." Galen said thumbling with his retrieved lightsaber.
"Well my reports state clearly that there is fighting five hundred clicks from your home." Cye said not breaking their eye contact.
"No, no."
"Galen, go take a ship whatever you need." Cye said his brown eyes melting as his mask slipped.

Galen paced. Was Cye lying to him? Galen clipped his lightsaber onto his belt and nodded his thanks before scrambling into the nearest ship; Cye's shuttle.


"I don't know what you're talking about but I have had enough Master Ti." Ahsoka said as she stood up and wheeled around to leave.
"You're not in trouble Ahsoka."
"Of course I'm not, I haven't done anything."
"If this was the old order, you'd be expelled you know what I mean."
"Well if the Jedi weren't so dedicated to a code that is no longer applicable to us maybe my Master would have killed Sidious instead of joining him!" Ahsoka said forgetting herself and her place.
"We did not know of his... predicament. We thought a Jedi should be self-isolating, we were wrong as if you block yourself with contradictions you cannot live and therefore have no experience in order to help others." Shaak Ti said calmly as she closed her eyes.
"Oh so it only took ninety-nine percent of the order's deaths to teach you a lesson!" Ahsoka said as she rolled her eyes.
"We did not know."
"Yeah 'cause everyone was too scared at the thought of failing to be the perfect Jedi!"
"Enough!" Kota shouted entering the room. "I could hear you from my chamber. Don't you get that even Jedi need to sleep!" Kota growled as Ahsoka shrunk back into the wall and skirted towards the door.
"Padwan Tano. I have not finished with you." Shaak Ti said.
"Let the kid go she's obviously worked up."
