Chapter Two
Wufei's Discovery
The Preventer cruiser and its surviving cruiser escorts set down on the landing pads just outside of New York city limits. Sally and Wufei both came down the landing ramp, slummped shoulders in defeat.
They were met by Lady Une, her glasses reflecting light. " Didn't go to well I can suppose, right?"
The Chinese boy nodded. " You hit it on the nose Director."
" And we lost all but five of the twenty Leo's that came with us." Sally piped in. "Thats fifteen good men and women that died, madam. I think this calls for some drastic action, don't you? Madam?"
The Lady was looking off into the the distance. " I do not think drastic actions will solve anything at this moment Sally. Where's the data you received from the battle?"
" Right here Lady." Wufei tossed her a compact disc. " Hot and ready for your wise satistical analysis."
" Heh, Wufei, do I detect some mockery in your tone?" The three turned to the black sedan that awaited them.
" Garm, I do not like this new encounter that your Gaurdian made." That was the new president of the New Republic. Although Garm did not know the man's name, he was certain the this man was a great leader, with many followers.
" I know, President. And that is why I am asking for a scouting mission to see exactly what it is we're dealing with." He waited for a reply, waited and sweated. Finally an answer came."
" Garm Bel Iblis, I must agree with what you have said and reported. Organize a scouting team. Make no mistakes dear Iblis, we do not wish for another war."
Earth shimmered in the light of the sun as the Lambda-class shuttle approached it. The occupants stared in awe at such a beautiful site. Corran Horn, member of the elite Jedi Knights and former Rogue pilot, yawned and blinked sleep dust from his eyes. He looked back from the copilots chair to see the other members of his team stirring from a restless sleep. His wife, Mirax Terrik smiled at him as she sat up, her hair unusually straight for someone that slept for five hours. Whistler tweetled something as his systems came online, prompting a smile from both husband and wife. The pilot looked back too, his black moustache and goatee giving him a rough farmers look. Gavin Darklighter smiled at the three and then turned his attention back to flying.
" Earth. It looks so..beautiful." said Mirax as she came to kneel between the two men. " This is more pretty than Corellia."
" Yes. Hey, what's that?" Gavin pointed to the sensor board. A trace of metal had ignited the sensors, and they all stared out the viewport. A twinkle from something nearby, the com unit was beeping.
Gavin pushed it. " This is Preventer Leo one-oh-nine to inbound craft. State your purpose or I will be forced to deviate you from making it to Earth." The voice was harsh, but it sounded female.
" This Commander Gavin Darklighter of the New Republic."
" Well commander, what exactly is it you are doing here?"
" We wish to view this planet, it's new to us, and we'd also like you to take us to your president or shah or whatever it is you call the ruler here."
" I can do that." The strange suit turned and began its run back towards the large planet that glistened in the sun. The shuttle followed suit.
" There's something strange, I can feel it, like....like someone on Earth has the potential to be a Force user." Corran shuddered. " He or she has a great power I can sense, but I doubt the person knows that he or she has it within him."
" Corran? Do you think Luke should know?" Mirax looked astonished.
" I, yes, send a message to him immediately, and ask him what I should do about this new presence."
Wufei looked up from the weight set and felt oddly light headed. He felt as though someone had just probed his brain. And it made him sick, he doubled over, rolling off the bench and onto the floor.
" Wufei, are you ok?"
" No, I-unngh.." he trailed off into silence. " I feel as if something with a great power has just entered Earth's atmosphere. I can feel it...but-unngh.."
" This is Sally Po at the Preventer gym facility. Wufei's sick, send a med team down here immediately." She looked at the boy, who had turned pale and became more worried for him than she cared to admit.
