Thank you Joe Hogle and Parker Schadegg for your reviews. I'll try to make it original although I'm doubting myself about it right now. One of you readers out there is probably going: " phbbbt I read this sort of thing before" and are moving on to better fics of well known FFN writers.
At that I hold no animosity towards you as I switch from fic to fic all the time unless one really caches me. But hopefully you'll come back when your bored read my fic and tell me just how much I've messed up a game that you really liked and that I should go down to the 9th level of Dante's Inferno and never return.

I could no longer feel my body after a few moments, but there was a sort of conciseness to my being. My surroundings were blurred and I was unable to even tell difference between colors. There was only myself, or what could be thought of as myself. I almost felt as if I was a sort of mist hanging in a stifled room, hanging in the air and unable to move on my own. Slowly though, a semblance of sight returned to me.
There was darkness for a long time, which slowly shifted into gray and then to an almost off white that flowed into a warm glowing gold. I felt as if I was in a deep meditation, deeper than I had ever brought myself during my training or the long night cycles on the Ebon Hawk. My surroundings turned to Darkness once more and the shifting of these colors continued for a long time.
A presence phased into existence near me, it seemed to take several cycles, each of which had to be hours in length, but as it grew in its strength my familiarity with it grew as well. When I was sure of just who had come to visit me in my seeming prison, I tried to rush to it to embrace it, but I found myself unable to move from the spot.
Bastilla shimmered into existence within the expanse of changing color. She was as I had last seen her, clad in sith robes but now she was a translucent light blue. The look of forlorn self-loathing and sorrow seemed to break me from immobility and causing me to realize that I had my own form as well where I had only been a mere shapeless mass before. Rushing to her and scooping her into my arms and finding that she had a surprising solidity.
She slumped into my embrace while she sobbed I couldn't place whether it was happiness at seeing me or relief that I didn't reject her, finding little to do but what came to me I simply held her as I whispered comforting words. Telling her that it wasn't her fault and that she was absolved of anything I could forgive her for and more when she asked if I blamed her.
As we remained like that for hours on end only her trembling and now quieted tears caused movement while she held on for dear life. Years seemed to pass by while we stood as a rock amid the tide of Bastilla's raging emotions, and slowly ever so slowly, I walked her to the path of light and out of her depression and remaining darkness that still threatened to consume her for all time.
Soon as we abolished that last of her inner demons and she finally accepted that she did indeed deserve to walk the path of light and join all of those jedi who had passed to force within it. She told me that she had to go that she was to join them. I held on all the tighter before loosening my grip upon her, and as she stepped away one hand lingering on mine, I was overjoyed to find her now wearing her old jump suit. As we finally parted our interlaced fingers now touching for the final time I felt and saw a flash of light overtake me and found myself falling.
A city covered world was rushing up to meet me as I twisted in to air finding the large crystal I had dwelled in within the embrace of a tractor beam and being pulled into the cargo bay of a ship. I continued to twist around and find myself among the buildings now and falling faster. Spreading out my arms and legs I let the fabric of my robes catch the rushing air and slow me slightly, halting my spin and allowing me to maneuver towards a granite clad building.
Suddenly a speeder flashed by me and sent me off-course and nearly turning me into a red paste on a durasteel sheathed building. Reacting out of instinct I called on the force and repositioning myself. I jarred myself badly as my boots slammed against the hard surface and I rebounded back toward the granite-covered building.
Drawing and igniting my lightsaber and the shot offhand saber I dug them into the thick rock covering. My arms screamed in pain as my fall was suddenly and painfully slowed down. The short saber cut more slowly through the granite and I was able to put most of my weight on it.
Alarmingly I started to fall again as the building's wall that I had caught myself on ended abruptly in an overhang, my next trip downward ended quickly as I landed in a café that had been overhung by the granite wall, startling a couple as I fell onto their table and food gracelessly.
I lay there for a moment stunned and the first few thoughts pertained to the steaming liquid that was burning my shoulder. Rolling off the table I found myself staring into the dozens of eyes belonging the restaurant patrons.
Glancing back to the people whose dinner was now plastered to my back, I found that it was unlikely they were a couple. One was human enough an attractive young girl, but the other was a species that I didn't recognize for a moment but the answer came to me soon enough. Though they were both in a set of robes whose station that I also didn't recognize.
IGungan/I
Oh, I thought for a moment, as the adrenaline suddenly wore off and I found my self quite sleepy as several of what I could only presume to be guards rushed towards me from three sides. Then my head hit wood flooring.

There we are Chapter 1
I could really use some feedback and possibly a name for our wayward hero. Next person to review gets a snow cone! . Not really. ^_~
Next chapter I should have found some sort of muse or a good song to write to.
So anyway please, please! R&R
