Ooooh, more reviews XD now I'm definately going to continue with this!
Thanks to Culf, for both the praise and the recommendation of 'While You Were Gone,' a must-read for anyone who doesn't loathe Han with a hatred bordering on obsession. And frankly, I seriously hope that there's no-one out there insane enough to do that. Because, if so, I promise you that I will gather an army of rabid fans and hunt the physco down and stab them repeatedly with a random pointy object while screaming, "Die! Die! Die!" (Hehe... you won't understand that one if you haven't seen this one girl's Elfwood gallery O_O)
Remnants, thanks! *feels showered with praise* It's not Kyp, my appologies to any Kyp fans. I just don't feel like I know his character well enough to have him play a major part in any of my stories yet. He might show up, and he might not, but he's not the main enemy. As for Xanatos, well... read and see. Not exactly, but sort of. The phrase 'fallen Jedi' is used here in reference to the evil Padawan kid. Let me put it this way: He's not Kyp or Xanatos. He's not a member of the Jedi council, because he's too young to have been in the council. And HE (note the all caps there, people) is obviously not a girl. Ponder that...
J. - Yeah, you know who you are XD Thanks for the compliments on this, and I hope you get the whole problem with it not letting you post a review straightened out. I'll consider writing Star Trek fanfiction at some point, but this must come first...
Jedi monkey: OMG! MY STORY'S ACTUALLY ON SOMEBODY'S FAVORITES LIST! *dies of shock* X_x I can't believe it... *reincarnates herself* Well, J.M., as you said yourself, a long review deserves a speech of praise ^_^ Nice that you didn't kill Obi. All that's left to do now is to clone him, since we both apparently like him. *coughs* Yes, make sure to do that at some point. Anyways, I'm glad that you think that the plot's origional. That was one of my main goals when I started this - to not have the typical "evil Jedi shows up, evil Jedi is killed by good Jedi, good Jedi gets the girl, and everyone lives happily ever after" stories. In fact, I don't even know which side is going to win at this point in time... and the 'fallen Jedi' is who you would least expect. But so, anyone who's reading this who didn't already follow my advice, go and read her story! *uses Jedi mind trick* You SHALL go read her story!
Oh, and look below for a link to the most hilarious Star Wars cosplay photo I've ever seen, excluding the one where my cousin dressed up as Darth Maul for Halloween - including the horns and the paint across his whole fair and in his hair - and stood outside greeting trick-o-treaters holding not a lightsaber, but... a red and black electric guitar. Scary O_O

- On Tatooine -
Luke ran as fat as he could, no longer a person, but simply a form through which the Force flowed and, at the moment, controlled. The legends that he had been told long ago and that were told to young padawans even now... they were being set into play at last...
It had been said before that when the need was great, a Jedi would cease to be a Jedi and instead become a form for the Force itself to take for a short time. Up until now, Luke had been able to connect to the force and be one with it in his mind and soul, but now he was so in body as well. He felt himself burn with pure energy, and his body was glowing... he felt as though if anyone were to touch him now, they would go up in flames.
He vaulted a fence without even thinking about what he was doing, just allowing the Force to guide his steps. But as he sliped slightly and tumbled into the clearing past the stone wall, he felt it leave him instantly. Before he had hardly even begun to wonder, an image shone in his mind briefly of his whole body burning. He suddenly realized that if he had stayed posessed for much longer, it truely would have happened. Heat radiated from his whole body, charring the grass beneath him.
There was a footprint right before him. He traced the outline with one finger even as his mind wandered far from this clearing and the deadly secrets that it could reveal. The blood that coated his finger now was almost dry, and he knew that to continue the pursuit any farther would be pointless. The person would not be foolish enough to stay on the planet after his or her task had been finished...
The best thing to do would be to go straight to the Jedi council. He turned his back to the clearing and walked away, missing the one thing that he should have seen, had he not been so unfocused.
Across on the other side of the clearing, stuck to the rough bark of a lone pine tree, was a scrap of a bright orange Academy jumpsuit. As he walked off, it rippled slightly in the wind, the name embroidered on the fabric worn down and yet... one letter could still be read. Yes - across the piece of the uniform was a lone letter: J.
- On the Rebel ship 'Inirad' -
Luke paced back and forth in the ship's cabin. Of *course* the ship would break its record 40 years of perfect condition and develop severe hyperdrive problems the moment it was actually needed for any job. He sighed and tried to force himself to focus on the council meeting yet to come. He had nothing to tell them, for he would not allow himself to voice his suspicions of the Force signature seeming familiar. For, after all, there was no way that the suspicion could be right. No way at all. No...
- Hoth -
Han sighed silently as he brushed his hair out of his face as he surveyed the base with dismay. It was now habitable, but only by technical terms. It would take the droids several more days to make it completely operational, not to mention more comfortable. They'd all be sleeping on the floor until the whole job was done.
Some way to spend the next couple days...
Well, at least the medical wing was in perfect shape, he thought to himself. He wished that Leia had been able to come with him. She'd enjoy ordering all of the soldiers about on mindless, unnecessecary tasks. He missed the twins and young Anakin as well. But Jaina was off on some tiny planet in the middle of nowhere, learning about inter-galaxy politics, and Anakin was apprenticed to a Jedi master at the Temple. Jacen had decided not to become a Padawan to one of the Masters, and had instead been running off across the galaxy on various errands that weren't important enough to send Knights on but yet demanded the attention of one with a connection to the Force. They had all seemed to be enjoying themselves, though Jacen had been rather distant the last time that Han had seen him - his thoughts were constantly upon his job, it seemed. Well, he *was* quite busy, after all...
Han shivered, realizing how fast the temperature was dropping, and walked quickly inside into the heat... not knowing that not far away, a young girl was lying in the snow where she had last fallen, unable to get up or move at all. There was a slight overhang from one of the ice cliffs directly overtop of her, and it was this that had sheltered her and kept her from dying so far. But she was slowly yet surely freezing to death...
Author's notes: So now you know who the 'Fallen Jedi' is! I hope that you've enjoyed the story so far, and are looking forward to the next chapter. Please review, and let me know what you thought of this chapter!
