I dont own STAR WARS! I found some time on Thanksgiving and thought I should use it to getting closer to finishing this story. I also don't own the Princess Bride movie. Sorry about the wait and I hope you enjoy it!

STAR WARS

The Lost Episode: Portal to a Distant Past

Chapter 21

They had finally reached the Senate, and Yin felt a chill go up her spine, "Kin, stay away from Palpatine. He's on the Dark Side. We can't tell the council or our friends…"

"I understand, but I don't like it…" Kin grumbled as the cloaked their vessel and exited it.

They had been at the senate for a good month now, when…

"Kin…" Yin gasped as she felt her Jedi senses find someone, "She's here. Zee's here!"

"You're sure?" Kin frowned, and tried to use his senses to feel Yin's sister, but he frowned, because just as he'd found the life signature, it vanished. "What…?"

"Someone's blocking me! Damn it!" Yin growled and took Kin's hand, and they doubled their efforts, "Keep up, I've got a trace…"

"Got it," Kin nodded and together they raced down the halls where the senate resided, past Que-Gon and Obi-Wan, until they were before the new Chancellor, Palpatine's, quarters.

Yin & Kin burst through the door and their eyes laid on a sight most appalling; that of a young woman, tied to a bed, tears streaming down her face, and a suppression collar around her neck.

Obi-Wan & Que-Gon appeared right behind them, "Wha…?"

"ZEE!" Yin raced forward and threw the Chancellor away from her sister.

"…" Zee did not reply, just cried in relief.

"Chancellor, what is the meaning of this?!" Que-Gon growled.

"They bought her; they tied her up this way… It wasn't me…" Palpatine began.

"Thy tongue is a serpent!" Yin snarled at him, "Where is the release for the collar?! NOW!"

"O-on the s-stand…" Palpatine pointed to a small device. Kin nodded to Yin, and retrieved it. Quickly getting the collar to release the young woman as Yin and Obi-Wan untied her.

"If you ever come near my family again, I will not hesitate to expose you," Yin hissed into Palpatine's ear as she and her sister walked past the shaking old man.

Palpatine's eyes widened and as soon as the Jedi and girl had left, he growled and threw a vase at Yin's back.

Kin deflected it with the force, "Do not." Kin restrained himself from attacking the man, and hurried after Yin and the others.

"Is she really your sister, Yin?" Obi-Wan frowned.

"Yes. Kin, we need to get back to our ship…"

"Jake's coming…" Zee whispered hoarsely.

"He's alive?!" Yin's hands shook as she hugged her sister tighter to her.

"ZEE!"

"Jake!" Zee croaked a reply.

"Jake!" Yin turned and saw her once neighbor turned friend, "Missed you neighbor-boy."

"… You…? How…?" Jake stared at Yin in shock for a few moments until he got over it and ran to the two sisters, hugging the stuffing out of them. "Missed you too, girly."

"Yin, you wanted to leave…" Kin reminded her.

"Que-Gon, Obi-Wan, don't report this to the council, only master Yoda, if he asks. Tell Ani and Padme we said goodbye, and that we're sorry we'll miss Padme's wedding, when the time comes…" Yin told the two older Jedi.

"Yin, are you and Kin leaving us permanently?" Obi-Wan frowned.

"I believe we are, Ben, but you and I will be speaking together at a later time. Farewell, my friends," Yin smiled at them both and together, the four from the future ran to the Starling, and in a few minutes they took off.

"Um, Dryian, why are you going by Yin? And who's the guy?" Zee whispered as Jake got her a drink.

"That is my partner, Anakin Solo. Kin for short. Yin is my Jedi name for here, as Kin is his…"

"That makes sense, I suppose," Jake replied as he handed Zee her drink. "Here ya go, honey."

"Thanks Jake," Zee replied softly and drank the drink slowly.

"Honey? What's going…?"

"We got married, Ryian, please don't be mad…" Jake winced.

"I… I want the full story," Dryian demanded.

"You're mad," Zee sighed.

"No, I'm happy if you're happy, Zee."

"We are. Now that we're together again," Zee smiled at her husband as Jake pulled her into his arms.

"Well, it all started after you went missing," Jake frowned. "I found Zee just as an animal of sorts was about to attack her and with the help of the Ewoks we were able to rescue her. Then we went in and helped Luke, Solo, and the Princess beat the bad guys. After that, Zee said she wanted to start researching on a way to find you and so we hopped a flight and started the search."

"Unfortunately, we ran into another hole, and it sucked us into the past. Took us a while to get acclimated, but we adapted. We became merchants. Got pretty wealthy for a while, until this lummox used *as you wish* on me every time I'd ask him to do something, and of course I understood the movie reference. So, since he was too cowardly to admit…" Zee smirked at her husband.

"HEY!" Jake yelled indignantly.

"Or say the *L* word, I walked right up to him, pulled his shirt collar down to make him at my level, and said *I love you too, Idjit.* Then I kissed him. We started dating and got married a few months later," Zee laughed as Jake pouted. "Unfortunately, our good times didn't last…"

Jake took over, "While we were on our honeymoon, she was spotted by a slave trader, and a robed figure. We were captured, and separated. I came to and found out she was gone. I had put a tracker on her, and she had one put on me when we'd married. I'd been tracking her for months, and that's when I ran into you carrying her down the halls."

"How many months?" Dryian asked Jake shakily.

"Four months."

"…" Dryian nodded and her hands shook a bit as she stood and began to head to the cockpit.

"Dryian?" Zee called out, causing Dryian to turn around and face her sister, "We're happy you're alright and that we're all together again. I missed you, big sister."

"I missed you too, Zee. I'll tell you my story another time… alright?"

"Alright…" Zee yawned.

"Get some rest, little sister, little brother," Dryian told the couple and walked out of the room, the door shut behind her. Dryian then walked mechanically to where she knew Anakin would be manning the ship.

Anakin took one look at her, put the ship on autopilot and walked to her side, pulling her into his arms, "I'm here, Dryian, its okay…"

"Slavers… Slavers and Palpatine had her for four months…" Dryian shook and clung to Anakin. "I didn't protect her… Couldn't…"

"Shh… I know. I know. You couldn't have stopped it, but we saved her. We found her. She's safe now…" Anakin reminded her gently.

"But… I'm a bad…"

"No, you're not, and if I have to make you stand on your head until you're blue, I will get you to admit that you are not responsible for that blasted Sith that hurt your sister!" Anakin pushed her away momentarily to stare down into her eyes. "Do you understand?"

"I understand…" Dryian smiled sadly up at him and let herself relax into his hold, as he pulled her back into his arms.
