Chapter I don't know.
AUTHOR"S NOTE: Okay, it seems I can't find my other chapter, which means it's lost. So I have to start all over. Sorry I've been gone so long.
Jaina glared up through the blinding light that spilled in through the door. At first there was silence from their captors, but the silence was broken with the low and sultery voice of a woman.
"On your feet, there isn't a parsec to waste."
Struggling to their feet, Jaina and Zekk stumbled out of their prison, and came face to face with an older woman who had blood-red hair and eyes that seemed to encompass everything. Beside the older woman were two adult men who also had the same encompassing gaze.
Jaina decided to talk first, "Why did you-"
"I don't feel like being diplomatic. Whoever you are, your reinforcements are here. Call them off and we won't be forced to exterminate you." The woman's crystal eyes flashed, and Jaina didn't doubt a single word she said.
Zekk said what was on Jaina's mind. "What reinforcements? Nobody really knows we're here."
Her eyes flashed again, and as the older woman moved, her simple clothing had the feel of elegance. To Jaina, it felt like she was having to deal with her mother all over again.
"We don't know who you're talking about." Jaina added.
"They've already inflicted twice the damage that you did." The red-headed woman announced. "If they're not your allies then they're your enemies. And we prefer not to loose any more of our own over your dispute."
Zekk glanced at Jaina and they both thought the same thing. "How did the Yuhzahn Vong get here?" Jaina whispered under her breath. "I thought you finished off the other two."
"You can't expect me to do everything." Zekk's face grew dark, and he shrugged.
In an instant Jaina and the red-headed woman were allies. "Where are they?" Jaina asked.
"We have they blocked off in a cavern about five stories up." The older woman started leading them foreword.
"You won't have them contained for long, they're very adaptive." Jaina motioned for her lightsaber. "Are you gonna make us fight with our bare hands?"
The older woman paused, then shook her head. "Of course not." She motioned to one of the Jedi beside her. "I am the leader of the last of the Jedi Order. My name is Recorda, I'll explain the rest on the way."
(((LATER)))
Recorda Desset was the leader of the last remnants of the old Jedi Order. However, as she watched these new Jedi battle their opponents she had to admit she was impressed. They had introduced themselves as Jedi of the New Republic. One was named Jaina, and the other, Zekk. They fought the enemies who had already killed two of her Knights and had grievously wounded one. Together, these two fighters seemed to be invincible, they worked as a team, deeply in tune with each other's fighting styles.
Their unity provided defense against any attack, and their random fighting offence proved to be just what was needed to defeat their enemies. Recorda didn't know where their fighting style had originated, but it was nevertheless remarkable…and effective.
With a final hiss of the lightsabers, the last enemy fell, leaving the two Jedi Knights standing over their defeated foes- sweating and exhausted.
First Diplomat, and Leader of the Council, Recorda Desset, pulled her long blood-red hair across her right shoulder as the two Jedi Knights approached. She lifted her chin. "Impressive, most impressive."
((((((((((((((((((((((AN HOUR LATER))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Jaina bathed in the ice-cold water. This was called her 'quarters' but all it seemed to be was a dimly lit cavern off by itself with water dripping from the ceiling into a curving floor. There was a soft bed-looking object over to the side, it had tuffs of dried-up see-weed and a large piece of cloth draped over it. Jaina had to admit she was impressed by these people's ingenuity, from living down here with only half a dozen droids they had been able to live their lives and from the look of things- go on as a society.
However, Jaina had to admit that she would have preferred warm water. Her aching muscles and cuts didn't respond too well to ice-cold water. But it did get the muck off.
Reaching out through the Force, she felt Zekk's presence. It was nice to feel him when they were separated- it wasn't that she couldn't bare to be separated from him, but they were in a strange and semi-hostile environment….yeah. That was it. But his presence was really close…and coming closer…Jaina paused, looking over her bare shoulder to peek around the boulder that separated her from clear view from the door. Pausing, she decided it was just her imagination, and turned around to get out of her cold-water bath.
"Hey Jaina!"
Jaina practically dove back into the water.
"Sithspawn! I'm sorry- I- didn't mean-"
Jaina poked her head out from behind the boulder, to see Zekk standing near the pool's edge with his back turned to her and his hand over his eyes.
"Th-there should be a 'do not disturb' sign or something." Zekk muttered.
Despite herself, Jaina let loose a cocky, and not to mention bratty, laugh. "It's called knocking, or announcing your presence."
"yeah, yeah, whatever." Zekk said, deeply embarrassed.
Jaina paused, trying to get some water out of her ears. She was sure Zekk was blushing a deep crimson. "Now don't look."
"You insult my sense of honor." Zekk replied, nearly growling.
Jaina laughed again. He must be mad at himself, she didn't know he got wordy when he was mad, but there it was. Quickly, she stepped out of the pool and slipped into her clothes. Trying to drip dry, she wrung her hair out and glanced over at Zekk, noticing his damp hair. Obviously, he had bathed also. "Okay, I'm dressed. What's so important?"
Zekk turned around, looking down at his feet as if he was ashamed of looking at her. "There's a girl outside who is supposed to give us the tour of this place."
"What happened to what's-her-face?" Jaina asked, wringing her hair out again.
"She said she had important business." Zekk answered, quietly.
"Alright." Jaina said, leading the way toward the cave door, or opening of the room into a large tunnel. What met Jaina around the corner of the nature-made wall was something that she had no idea how to face, let alone defeat.
