Road to Destiny by Jaina Solo-Fel and Master Jacen
Chapter 1: New Horizons
Jacen Solo awoke to the sun rising over the horizon of Mon Calamari. He watched the sight with awe. It never ceased to amaze him, but he couldn't help but think about the rainbow bridge of Yuuzhan'tar. He remembered how he had looked on the creation in wonder. He could still see the exact patterns of the flickering colors on the night sky. He felt a pang of guilt in his heart. He knew he should be regretful that he was no longer on Yuuzhan'tar. He knew he should be grateful that he was home, or at least some semblance of home in a sense. But part of him still missed the untamed jungle that Coruscant had become.
Pushing back the thoughts of Yuuzhan'tar, Jacen stretched his arms above his head, trying to get the last of the sleep kinks out of his body. There was so much he had to do today. He had to meet with the Galactic Alliance Intel group. Even after being back for a year, they still had so many questions about the Vong that only he could answer. Then, he had a meeting with the Jedi Council to discuss new scouting missions. After that, he knew that his uncle Luke would want to meet with him. Jacen's revelations about the Force had proven to have a drastic impact on the Jedi. Granted, though, these same revelations had no impact yet on the war with the Vong.
Resigning himself to the distinct possibility of getting no rest today, he headed for the 'fresher.
Just another day in the life of Jacen Solo, he thought.

Jag Fel awoke to the warmth of Jaina Solo-Fel's petite body pressed against him, one of her arms draped over his body and her leg twisted in the sheets and curled around his own. This seemed to be her favorite sleeping position. Jag didn't care. He loved waking up like this. Jaina seemed to fit against him perfectly. He inhaled deeply, catching the scent of Jaina's hair with his breath. They had only been married for two months, but Jag knew deep down, that their marriage was the kind that most only dreamed of having. Granted, the first two months had not been entirely bliss. Jaina was pregnant after all. Jag simply smiled at this though and turned himself over, his hand now able to gently caress the slight swell of her stomach. Jaina stirred. Jag looked on his wife as her eyes fluttered open.
"Morning, beautiful." Jag almost had to laugh at himself. This was the way he greeted Jaina every morning and every morning she responded the same way:
"Shut up, handsome," and with that she would throw the covers over her head.
Today was no exception.
Jag chuckled lightly as he pulled the sheet away from Jaina's face. She crinkled her nose and brows at the sudden onslaught of brightness. Jaina never ceased to amaze him. Even in her half-awake state, she was still stunning. He couldn't believe that she was actually his. She had chosen him. He thanked his lucky stars for every day they had together.
Jaina groaned at the light. "Jag, I wanna go back to sleep!" she managed to slur out.
Jag laughed. "We have a briefing at 0800. It's 0700 now, Jaya. You need to get up and get something to eat."
Jaina's face brightened slightly at the mention of food. After the first month of her pregnancy, she had become ravenous. Jaina ate anything that was set in front of her. Jag was just grateful that she wasn't having bouts of morning sickness and that her mood swings weren't too extreme. Yet.
Jag climbed out of the bed and headed to the 'fresher while Jaina padded off to the kitchen. Jag laughed once again. Jaina wasn't much of a cook. He wondered what this morning's disaster-no, "culinary creation"-would be.
"I heard that!" Jaina called. She laughed to herself. She knew what Jag was thinking was right. She wasn't really much of a cook, but she did try. It wasn't her fault that Jag didn't have a taste for her food. Jaina turned her attention back to the food.
Then the klaxons went off.
* * * * * * * * * * *
Jacen was halfway through the shower when he heard the klaxon in his room. His thoughts flew to Jaina and Jag.
Jaina! Don't even think about it! You're pregnant! With twins nonetheless! He sent her via the Force. He could feel her response and a struggle.
Apparently Jag had the same thoughts as him. Jacen sighed and shook his head. He knew that Jaina wanted to be in her X-Wing in the middle of the battle, but right now, it was too dangerous. Quicker than a flash, he threw on some clothes and went into the emergency corridor leading straight to the Command Center. He flashed his ID at all sorts of guards who didn't even have time to stand in his way. After waiting in line for about five minutes, he was encountered by two security guards.
"Sir, you have been ordered by the general to take Colonel Jagged Fel's spot in Twin Suns Squadron." The larger of the two said. "If you will please come with us, we will show you the quicker way." He continued.
Jacen stretched out with the Force, and finding the two men had no dishonorable intentions toward him, followed the men. Jacen sighed, as he knew why Jag would be absent from the battle. Jaina after all did have the Force on her side, and Mara Jade Skywalker as a former master. Suddenly, the back of his neck tingled. He knew that feeling all too well. It was the feeling of impending doom. He looked behind him, and saw a cloaked figure raising a bowcaster at him.
"Down!" He yelled, grabbing the two guards in front of him. He used the Force to enhance his speed, but still took a blaster bolt to the right shoulder. He slowly fell to the ground. He barely had enough energy in him to raise his head just in time to see about a hundred red bolts hit the empty air where the cloaked figure had just been.
* * * * * * * * * * *
Jaina Solo-Fel had just finished subduing her new husband when she too collapsed, from being shot in the back.
* * * * * * * * * * *
Jag Fel woke up from the deep sleep his "lovely" wife had just put him in. He quickly realized that the klaxons were still ringing, though he didn't know why. The newsvids that were on reported that the battle over Mon Calamari had been a success. He ran out of his room looking for somebody who might know what was going on. He searched around for a minute until he saw a portly Intel officer.
Jag ran to him and spoke: "Officer, what the hell is wrong now? And further more where is my wife? Answer me NOW!"
The Intel officer, named Juret Harget was shaken to the core by Jag Fel's outburst towards him. But he remained stone faced.
"Colonel Fel, sir, your wife and here brother were kidnapped by the Peace Brigade." Juret saw the fearless man shrink down and saw tears forming in his eyes. "Colonel Fel, we have tracked all ships leaving Mon Cal in the time of the kidnappings. We will find them. However, if you will please accompany me to the brig, you must be detained for questioning."
He saw the Chiss officer quiver and start to sob. It slowly dawned on him why. If he had his wife kidnapped by somebody who could get in and out of a military base undetected, with two of the most recognizable people in the galaxy, then he would be scared too. Just then, Juret Harget made the hardest decision of his life. This was the first time he had ever questioned his orders, but he knew that he had to do this.
"All right, here's what I'm going to do for you. I will look the other way so you could get to your clawcraft. We sent the ship list of those that have left to Queen Mother Tenel Ka, in the Hapes Cluster. She will help you." Shee! Why am I so nice? "Listen, I'm gonna get shot on the spot for this. Go get your wife and her brother." He saw the colonel walk down the hall leading to the hangers.
He turned around to go to his quarters, and saw himself. At that moment, Juret Harget felt a knife enter his chest.
The fake Juret took the real Juret to his quarters, to hide the corpse. Once he keyed it open and hid the body, he pulled out a villip "Mmmassssssttteerr" he hissed. "I have successfully entered the enemy base, got the packages, and I am successfully hiding myself as an Intel officer..What now?" he asked.
"Take the twins to Yuuzhan'tar and deliver them to our Masters. Danni Quee.Agh! Get out! Aaaggghhh! Rirora Kwaad out." The voice on the other end said.
