The Two Brothers
Jared's fighter dropped out of hyperspace a few thousand miles from Coruscant. The planet was alive with activity. Ships crowded the space lanes, in a hurry to get on or off the planet. The planet glowed with lights from the immense metropolis. Jared entered the atmosphere and proceeded to fly directly to the Jedi Temple.
Landing in the hangar must have been quite a sight for onlookers. Piloting a strange fighter and emerging in unfamiliar red armor would have been quite an interesting thing to see in such a subdued setting. Jared took off his helmet and carried it along as he raced to the Jedi Council chambers. Jared skidded to a halt in front of the doors and took a deep breath. Then he knocked softly on the door. The doors opened slowly without anyone opening them. Master Yoda and Master Windu were sitting alone on two of the chairs in the chamber. They looked at Jared in surprise. "Returned you have, Padawan!" exclaimed Yoda. "What are wearing?" asked Master Windu. Then Yoda and Mace looked at each other. "Where is Fajo?" asked Master Windu finally. "Allow me to explain," began Jared. The two Masters nodded. "Go ahead," said Master Windu. Jared explained that he had noticed an increase in trouble on Jedi missions. When he had looked into it, he was able to trace everything back to a mysterious organization called the Jin'Ha. At this point the Masters nodded. Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi had run into them some years ago.
Jared continued. He told them how he had left, how Fajo came after him, how they were ambushed by the Jin'Ha and then captured, and finally how he had escaped, which explained how he came to be wearing what he was. "Something you may not know about the Jin'Ha is their armor," said Jared. "What about it?" asked Mace. "Watch," said Jared. Jared flicked his wrist and his lightsaber slid into his hand from its hiding place in his sleeve. Twisting the knob on it, he set it to full power and ignited it. He extended his arm and struck down on it with all his strength. There was an explosion of sparks and the Masters turned away from the flash. When they turned back, they could see that there was only a mere nick in the armor where Jared had struck it. "Now Force-push me as hard as you can," he said. Yoda looked at Mace and extended his hand. Looking back at Jared, he drew in energy and hurled it at Jared. There was a visible tremor in the air from the force of the blow, but when it hit Jared, he only moved about a finger's length.
"This is indeed an improvement on their armor since last time," mused Master Windu. "Stopped, they must be," declared Yoda. "I agree." "Wait a minute," said Jared. "Aren't you forgetting something? We have to get Fajo back." "Ah yes, the boy's Master, forget him we must not," said Yoda. "Suggestions on finding him, have you Jared?" "I placed one of our specially shielded homing trackers on the ship," replied Jared. "If we find the ship, then we find where their hideout is," said Mace. "Agreed," said Yoda. "The plan, this is," began Yoda.

The warship was nearly at the military base of the Jin'Ha when they received a hail from a ship directly in their path. The warship dropped out of lightspeed so that they could reply. "What do you need?" said the captain, exasperated. "We.require...assistance." said a labored voice. "What do you need?" repeated the captain. On the distressed ship, the speaker cut the transmission. "The disabling is complete," he said. "They won't see them coming." On the warship, the captain shut off his comm, disgusted. "Damn ships, slowing us down," he muttered angrily. "Prepare us for hyperspace and go as soon as we're ready," he shouted to his helmsman. He could feel the ship shudder as it began the jump to lightspeed when there was a wrenching explosion that jerked him out of his seat. "What the hell was that?" he shouted over the din. "Engine nacelles destroyed, Captain!" shouted a voice. "There are boarding parties in every docking bay. "Shit," he said softly.
Fajo was asleep in his bunk when the engines exploded, causing him to flip out of bed onto his feet. Pirates? he wondered. But no, he could feel Jedi presences on board. Just as he was thinking these things, his door slid open and a Jedi tossed him his lightsaber. "Let's go!" he shouted as he turned and sprinted along with the other Jedi running down the corridor. Fajo joined them and was reunited with his Padawan they embraced each other briefly, then Jared reminded Fajo, "Come on. We still have work to do. You didn't think this whole party was just for you, did you?" He smiled. "Well, it would have been nice," said Fajo, smiling as well. Then they both turned and sprinted down the hall. They raced to the captain's quarters, got the information they needed and left. From the explosion till the last ship left, the whole raid took only twenty minutes. The Jin'Ha had no idea what hit them till it was too late.
