Part 4:Truth Be Told
by:jaina-solo-fel
*I stand there looking at this woman that says she's Padmè Skywalker and I don't know what to say I feel like yelling no you can't be I was told you were dead I stare at this woman
who says she's my grandmother.Okay sure she looks like my mother but don't they say everyone has a twin in the world.No if this woman was really who she says she is she would
have come looking for mum and uncle Luke a long time ago.She seems to be serious about what she's saying but I mean should I really believe her."Who are you three may I ask not
all of you look like Jedi,"she says.I just keep staring at her not knowing what to say I see Jag and Sharr looking at me waiting and wondering to see what I'm going to say."I'm
Jaina Solo I'm a Jedi Knight and these are my companions Jagged Fel and Sharr Latt we are apart of the Republic or well use to be before the Yuuzhan Vong came we are apart of a
squadron called Twin Suns,"I say.Okay maybe I just said a little too much you don't really know who's here who you can trust anyone of them could be Vong and no one would know it
"what is your business here?"the man called Forbes asked."We are looking for information about the Clone Wars,"Jag says.I look at the bartender and then at the woman that says
she's my grandmother and then back again"why are you looking for that what is it to you forty-eight years since those ended,"Forbes said."Our business is our own,"Jaina
says."Sorry for bothering you.Let's go."I could feel both Jag and Sharr looking at me strangely and the woman watching us go I don't get it I mean did uncle Luke know that she
was here and sent me to find her and bring her home no but he would have said something wouldn't he.My grandmother alive I don't think so I mean how can someone who you have
thought dead for so many years now come back.I'm going to get to the bottom of this.*
/Okay that was strange that woman and that man looked like they were going to help us and then she just walked away who's Padmè Skywalker is she a relative of Master Skywalker or
what for certain it's gotten Jaina freaked out that's for sure I'm going to find out what's bothering her I wish she'd just talk to me instead of keeping it to herself.She's
walking so fast that Sharr and I have to practically run to catch up to her"Jaina slow down what's wrong?"I ask.She stops and turns around and looks at me"Jaina what's
wrong?"She stands there for a while looking"we have to get to our meeting point,"she says.Then she turns around and keeps on walking we get to our meeting place Piggy,Tessa
and Arden are already there I'm going to corner her later and ask her what's wrong and I won't let her leave until she tells me what it is"find anything?"she asks."No not a
thing,"Arden says."You?""No let's get back to the ship see if there are any messages from Jacen,"she says.They nod and we go back to the ship she sits down in the pilots seat
checks for any messages a message comes through it's from Jacen telling us he has some bad news and that he'll see us tomorrow at the meeting point.I begin to wonder if anything
good will come out of this mission I mean what's so bad on Kamino that isn't worse on Geonosis Jaina didn't even ask questions she saw the woman and walked out I don't get it
isn't this a fact finding mission yet something about her musn't have seemed right to Jaina and maybe that's why she left./
On Kamino you see Jacen sitting in the cockpit of the ship ~ well here I am sitting contemplating what I've been told how could my grandfather have been so mean I don't get
it I don't know how anyone could have loved that monster.I mean mum has never really forgiven Darth Vader for what he did or accepted him as her father but I suppose I must
keep reminding myself that there was a person before Darth Vader a Jedi for that matter.But that's what I don't get how could a man such as him turn to the dark
side.Anakin Skywalker I wonder what he was like was he going to become one of the greatest Jedi ever before he turned or was he doomed from the start.I just wonder all these things
but I'll never know the answer to them.What good was it coming here to Kamino to find out something I really didn't want to know so what was the point of this I really would
like to know why uncle Luke sent us here.It's gotten us nowhere except to find out that this is where the clones came from but what else except to find that there
was pain and suffering which well I suppose right now with the Yuuzhan Vong that is what's going on as well.But it's different when it's one of your own family members.I get
out of the cockpit and go down the ramp and back into the building and I go into a room which they've reserved for us Zindra,Tilath and Beelyath are all playing a game and I
see Kyp standing off to the side looking out one of the windows.I walk over to him and stand next to him"where were you?"he asks."In the ship thinking,"I say.He nods his
head"you know it was Darth Vader not really your grandfather I mean I think your uncle once told me that Obi-Wan Kenobi once said that he was more machine than man and he was
no longer a good man,"he says."I know that Kyp I don't need to be told something I already know it's my family,"I snap.And I walk off and go sit down and he just watches me from
afar and I see him shake his head and then turn back to the window.
I just glare at his back and just sit there thinking I know I shouldn't have snapped at him but he doesn't need to tell me something that I already know I've heard it thousands
of times I don't need Kyp Durron of all people telling me it.I know Jaina trusts him now but I don't completely trust him not after everything that he's done he killed lives and
was given a second chance I've never really understood why.~
-I do not know what his problem is though come to think of it I don't think Jacen Solo has ever liked me I don't really care he's just really Jaina's brother and a teammate nothing
else I understand that he doesn't like the news that he's heard.Sometimes the truth is horrible to hear it's not always something you want to know but sometimes it's something
you can learn from.I watch him sit there on the couch and I just shake my head I know he's gone through a lot these last couple of months but he doesn't have to take it out on me.
This place seems so peaceful and beautiful I don't know why anyone would want to disturb it or destroy it for that matter I wonder what it looked like when they were creating all
those clones what a sight it must have been when the clone wars first started.But at this rate we'll be out of here before they even tell us anymore about what happened during
those times.What they told us was so vague I am sure there is more to this story than they are telling us but we must leave tomorrow or Jaina will come after us.But it doesn't seem
like they are going to tell us but who knows maybe I'll be surprised.Hopefully Jaina has found something more out on Geonosis actually I hope she's fairing better than us.The door
opens and Administrator Tynan came in and everyone stopped what they were doing.I turn away from the window and I look at him as he sits down"I am willing to tell you what I
know,"he says.
I take a chair and sit down and I look at him"it was a long time before I was born the galaxy was in terrible doom with the Sith coming back and there weren't very many Jedi
left and a man came to my father Lama Su and told him he needed an army for the Republic he said he had a doner his name was Jango Fett,"he began.I sat there looking at him
stunned and here I thought they weren't going to tell us anything I guess I was wrong but I'm glad they are telling us this it will explain a few things."Do not sit there and look
so astonished Jedi Master I was going to tell you everything.""Thankyou Administrator Tynan it means alot to us,"I say.He nods"well as I was saying and we made this great army
accelerating growth because it would have taken years for the clones to grow but all Jango asked for was an unalterd clone of himself a son sort of if you may who he named him Boba
apparently grew up and became a bounty hunter,"Tynan says.I look over at Jacen and he's got a hard look on his face and then I remembered that's the bounty hunter that took Han
to Jabba I shake my head."Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi came to us fifty years ago looking for some answers my father never really knew what he was looking for but he thought he was
here to inspect the army and he was quite impressed.And then a while later another Jedi Master came his name was Yoda he came and got the troops and that was the last we heard of
our army."I look at him in surprise"so is that the end?"Jacen asks."No about two years later a man in a black armour came Darth Vader and he took the rest of the army we never
really knew who he was but he killed a lot of our people including my father,"Tynan says.I see Jacen look down at the floor this must be horrible for him to hear of what his
grandfather did or rather what Darth Vader did.I felt sorry for him.-
Back on Geonosis you see Jaina sitting in the cockpit of the ship *I wonder who she really is and what she wants over the years lots of people have come and told us that they are my
grandmother but I think most of them just liked the idea of supposedly being married to Darth Vader and fathering two of the Rebels greatest heroes.But I don't think anyone ever
thought about what Darth Vader was like before he turned I mean what was Anakin Skywalker really like that's one question I would like answered.I have this great power this great
heritage and I don't even know the man who gave it to me that's what saddens me that everyone knows Darth Vader as this horrible man.But who was the man behind the mask the man that
loved my grandmother so much that he defied the Jedi Order when he married her.A man who never knew his children I wonder what my dad would have been like if he'd never known us that
he'd died or something before Anakin was born it really makes me wonder.And how would I have reacted not knowing my father the man who was childhood hero or what if I hadn't
known either mom or dad how would I have felt if I had been brought up by uncle Luke I don't know how I would have handled that.I hear someone come in behind me I look towards
the co-pilots chair and Jag sits down and turns and looks at me.I look back at him I know he thinks I'm crazy the way I reacted hey maybe I am but I don't even know if she was
telling the truth about who she says she was."What's going on Jaina?"he asks.I look at him surprised I know he called me by my first name earlier today but I didn't really here him
he hasn't ever used my name to my face before."Nothing's going on,"I say."There's been something going on for the last few days even before this mission and you're not telling
me,"he says."You know that woman?"I ask.He nods"Padmè Skywalker is my grandmother but I don't know if she's her people have been coming to my mother for years saying that she's
her but none of them are.""Wow that's quite something but how do you know that she isn't your grandmother we didn't exactly stick around to find out,"he says.I nod I see his point
"I might go back tonight see if I can find her,"I say."Do you want me to go with you?"he asks."Yes,"I say.I smile at him and he reaches over and takes my hand and brings it up to
his lips and kisses it."It's going to be all right,"he says.I nod"so when do we leave?""Two hours,"I say.He nods and he stands up and before he leaves the cockpit he
leans down and kisses me on the lips and then he pulls back and leaves I smile and watch him go.
Okay we are going out again to find this woman to see if she is who she says she is we go back to the cafe where we were before and we go inside Forbes is still behind the bar"ah
so your back,"he says.I look at him"do you know where she is?"I ask."Yes but I wouldn't tell you,"Forbes said.Suddenly someone tapped me on the shoulder"why are you looking for
her again?"a man asks.I turn around and there's a man standing behind me"I have some questions for her about the Clone Wars and who exactly she is,"I say."You said you didn't
want any help earlier,"Forbes says."I wasn't sent all the way here just to go back home empty handed so would you please tell me where she is,"I say."Come with me,"the man says.
He leads Jag and I to a small apartment and he knocks on the door the woman from earlier opens the door"ah hello thought I'd be seeing you again,"she says."Come in."We do and the
other guy leaves she shuts the door and we sit on a couch."Would you like anything to drink or eat?""No thankyou I want answers,"I say."Who are you really?""I am who I said I
was Padmè Skywalker,"she says."I have heard people say that alot of time during my time of living and none of them have turned out to be true,"I say."And may I ask why they would
ask you this,"she asks."I am Jaina Solo my mother is Leia Organa Solo and my father is Han Solo,my uncle is Luke Skywalker,my twin brother is Jacen,my younger brother who died a few
months ago bore the name of my grandfather Anakin Skywalker and my grandmother is Padmè Skywalker,"I say.She looks at me in shock"I wish I could prove to you that I truly am
Padmè,"she says."Ask me a question?""All right who was uncle Luke's aunt and uncle?"I ask."Owen and Beru Lars,"she says.I look at her in shock and Jag can see it's true why did
you stay here why didn't you come looking for my mom and uncle Luke why did you stay away?"I ask."I had my reasons,"she says.I look at her dumbfounded.
What reasons could anyone have to stay away from her children her only children her only family"would you come back with us to see them?"I ask."Yes I would,"Padmè says."We leave
tomorrow morning we'll come get you,"Jag says."I would like to get to know you better Jaina to learn about your family how your Jedi training went,"she says."On the way back I
promise,"I say.She nods"but wait I'd like you to meet someone just wait,"she says."All right we'll wait,"I say.She nods and we all sit back down again and I see the resemblence
between the two a lot and I'm happy at least that this trip wasn't wasted that we actually came for something.The door opened and a woman came in with two kids and I gasp she looks
nearlly exactly like mom and I see Jag staring as well."Hi mum,"she says."Grandma,"the kids say."Lara I'd like you to meet someone,"she says.The woman stares at me and I smile
at her she smiles back"Lara this is Jaina she's Leia's daughter and that's her companion Jagged Fel."The woman looks at me"Jaina I would like you to meet your aunt Lara I actually
had triplets not just twins.......
