Disclaimer: I'll make this quick. I don't own Star Wars, and I don't own any of the star Wars characters: Jacen Solo, Vergere etc, except for my own creations: Jayen Liau, Abriwan, and others that will be added later on.

Please bear with me, as it takes a while for me to get a chapter (let alone a story) put together, and I am also studying for my school Exams, so I don't have that much time. I'll update when I can.

Still Coming!!! Chapter 4: Unexpected Company

Please, Please, Please review!!!

Regards, Jenna-Jayen

Abriwan hurried down the drab grey-metal corridor. His was filled with dread at the thought of the Yuuzhan Vong being back. "They can't be back. They just can't be!" He muttered, drawing the glance of an Achnox med-tech that was walking past.

Abriwan glared at the med-tech, causing the Achnox male to hurry on past and down the corridor, looking fearfully over his shoulders.

"What will mother say when she hears about this? She'll have my hide for sure. I just know it!" He wasn't sure what to do, but he knew that he had to tell his mother about the news.

His mother hadn't had much time for him lately. Oh, she'd been there for him when he was younger, before he'd gone to the training academy and made his first Lightsabre, but she hadn't actually talked to him, or asked him how he was and if he wasn't finding his jobs too difficult.

When he was younger, only just out of the nest, he'd caught his mother crying in her study over a small pictograph of a young man with sandy-brown hair and beard and piercing blue eyes. Abriwan had realised later that the young man looked much like him, and had come to the conclusion that the young man was either his father or his brother.

He'd never told his mother about that day. And for good reasons too. Every time someone even mentioned the fact that Abriwan had grown up without a father, she snapped at that person.

"Maybe my father has something to do with that young man, Jacen. Maybe that's why mother hasn't gone to see him. Or maybe, there is something else that has kept her away from the young man." Abriwan muttered as he came to the door of his mothers' private office.

He touched the door chime beside it, and stepped back slightly as is swished open.

"You can come in Abriwan." He heard his mother call from further inside.

Abriwan entered his mothers domain cautiously, suspicion playing at the corners of his mind, just out of reach.

"I need to speak with you mother. It's a matter of extreme importance." He said as he walked towards her desk, being very careful not to look her in the eye.

"Oh, and I suppose that it has something to do with your disobeying my orders and talking to the young Jeedi boy, hmmm?" His mother stated.

Abriwan looked up, startled that his mother knew. "H-how did you know?" He stammered, walking carefully closer to her.

"I know lots of things Abriwan. But what I don't know is what you and the boy were talking about. I made the decision to put force-shields around the room to stop the boy from using the force and to stop others from sensing him. So, of course I cannot know what the two of you were discussing. Also, you missed dinner, so I suspected that something was up." His mother looked at him, sizing him up as though he were a beast ready to go to the slaughter. "So what did you and the boy talk about, hmmm?"

Abriwan sat down on a stool in front of her desk and sighed heavily. "He told me that Palpatine was dead. That his uncle, Luke Skywalker, had killed Palpatine with the Help of Darth Vader, Anakin Skywalker, the boy Jacen's Grandfather, almost 30 years ago." Abriwan took a deep breath before continuing. "He also said that there was a New Republic. And that the Yuuzhan Vong had returned to the galaxy." He stopped as his mother drew in a sharp breath. "They aren't doing very well against the Yuuzhan Vong mother, they need our help. We're the only ones who know how to defeat them." Abriwan stopped for breath again. "Did you know? About Palpatine being dead, the Clone Wars being over? Did you know about the Vong and not tell any of us? If you did, why?" He glowered at his mother. He didn't like the fact that she always kept secrets from the people.

"Abriwan, son, you have good reason to be angry with me. But please do bear in mind that it is my job to protect us all. It has been my job to protect all of my people since I was born, and even before then." She stopped and stared at him pointedly.

"As for the Yuuzhan Vong, I did not know that they had returned. And I can assure you, that we will help that young man and his people. It is our duty, and the Vong are not only a threat to them, but a threat to us as well." She stopped in thought, and a slight tremor passed through her body. Her first husband had gone with the Vong. He had left her and had taken her first son with him all those years ago. She had never forgiven him for it. The war against the Yuuzhan Vong was a personal one for her.

"Believe me Rii; we will fight against the Yuuzhan Vong. We will destroy them." She said the last with such venom in her voice that Abriwan jumped in shock and surprise.

Abriwan didn't know what to say. He had never sensed such anger in his mother before.

"Abriwan, I need to think." Jayen looked compassionately at her only son as she tried to control the turmoil of her mind. "Go and get yourself something to eat." She stood up and moved around the desk. Ushering Abriwan out the door of her office, Jayen gave a sigh. Her son was too much like herself at that age. 'No, I was like that only forty years ago..." Sighing again, Jayen went back to her desk. There was too much to do, she had to start the preparations for their return to the known Galaxy.
