Mara Jade Skywalker ran. She had been an assassin, an agent of terror and the second-in-command of one of the most powerful smuggling operations in the galaxy, but she was first and foremost a mother. At this moment, the only thing she knew was that her son was in danger. The link between force sensitive mother and child was incredible and Mara was taking every advantage of that. Her son was a toddler; his thoughts were not the clear thoughts of an adult. She could, however, sense his emotions and what she sensed at the moment was fear. She hated that her son was afraid and that made a wave of fury burn within her towards whoever dared to hurt him, but at least his fear told her that he was still alive.
It was a small comfort. She ran towards the site of the explosion with single minded determination. "Soulusar," she snapped into her comm. link, "Kam, answer me. What in the nine Corellian Hells is going on down there?" She paused to let him reply and heard only the pounding of her booted feet on the floor. As she scrambled down the access latter, not even so much as a hiss of static came back to her. Mara pushed back the panic that had been steadily growing since she had heard the explosion. Kam's silence could mean anything, it didn't have to mean that on a station that somehow now boasted both Yuuzhan Vong and Dark Jedi, that Kam was unconscious and unable to answer, or worse, dead and with him most of the trainees protection.
She could feel the explosion now. Its feel hung heavy in the air and the stench of smoke and destruction was thick in the air. Mara slowed to a quick, cautious walk and froze in horror at what she saw in front of her.
===============================================================
It had taken Kyp a matter of mere minutes longer to find Jaina. Even unconscious the young Jedi and pseudo goddess glowed brightly through the force. The sheer amount of destruction and disarray also pointed him towards the scene of Jaina's fight with Callista. Scorch marks dotted the large room and large pieces of machinery crumpled walls or lay fallen and broken in the middle of the room. In the back there was even a large section where the ceiling had completely caved in. Kyp had seen a few duels and even fights to the death in his day, but this was one for the legends.
He could feel the Dark side here. It was an overwhelming aura that filled the air and tainted everything. It was so pervasive that Kyp was forced to wonder for a moment if Jaina had been using the Dark side as well. Its lingering feel also made it harder to determine whether Callista was still there or not. Carefully he began to pick his way through the run of the room, searching for Jaina and Callista simultaneously. It didn't occur to him until he was almost done, where he hadn't searched, where he was now, suddenly almost certain that Jaina was, under the caved in portion of the room.
Please leave a review with your opinion of this chapter, or heck, life in general.
