Ties that Bind, Chapter Fifteen.

Righty..new chapter. Hoped you liked the last one. Oh, and in case you were wondering, Darren Onasi, is Carth Onasi's descendant. Just felt like putting someone from KOTOR in here. I might make references to other characters too. Like Bastilla or Zaalbar or something. And I'm not sure what the Empress Teta system is like, so I'm going to make it up.

Shanesnest- Ooooh. Good Idea. She is a bit scary, even to me. She's based on a character my dad created when we were Star Wars role-playing.

Jaina landed her sleek Naboo shuttle aboard the Korriban and stepped out of her ship. She looked around the Rebellion-class Mon Calamari cruiser. Each cruiser was different. The basic layout was the same, but the rooms were different.

Jaina walked onto the bridge, and all personnel saluted.

General Darren Onasi walked up to her and saluted.

"As you were," She ordered.

"Admiral Solo. I'm delighted to finally meet you in person. I've heard so many great things about you and your family," Darren was clearly trying to impress her. Obviously he hadn't heard she was a Jedi Knight.

"This is the battleship you were assigned to?" Jaina asked, and Darren nodded.

"Latest in the assembly line. They still make Rebellion class. I'm surprised they haven't upgraded much."

"The Rebellion class ships are what helped the Rebellion get through. Without the Mon Calamari skills, we wouldn't be here right now. The best battleships, in my personal opinion, are the Hapan Battle Dragons." Jaina told him, her gaze running over the interior of this ship.

"Yes, the Battle Dragons are good."

"Anythin' else you needed, General? I am needed elsewhere."

Darren heard the Corellian and Alderaanian accents in her voice. He knew it was because of her heritage.

"No, Admiral. I just wanted to meet you. "

"Very well. May the Force be with you." Jaina turned and left, shaking her head. She saw right through the guy, and knew he was itching to ask her on a date.

As Jaina walked to her ship, she pulled her comlink out of her pocket and called Master Katarn.

/Master Katarn? Do you copy/

/I copy, Solo. What do ya need/

/Is the Twin Suns ready for flight/

/Yes, Admiral. Did you wish to pilot the shuttle/

/Nah. I'll let you and Jaden do it. Solo out/

Jaina had reached the hangar, and found a small crowd standing around a sleek crimson ship, the Jade Avenger.

"Yeah, Yeah. Beautiful ship. I've heard it before" The much familiar voice of Mara Jade Skywalker floated around the hangar.

"Mara!" Jaina called, and Mara pushed past the crowd and to Jaina.

"What are you doin' aboard the Korriban?" Jaina asked, and Mara glared at the few people trying to board her ship before answering.

"I'm looking for Luke. I've found out who's killed Talon, and I'd like to tell him before I go arrest her."

"Her? Who killed Karrde?" Jaina didn't hear about this. She was mildly curious, seeing as how she only met Talon a few times.

"A girl named Alora Sev'rance. She's hiding out in the Empress Teta system." Mara told her, and Jaina flinched.

"Alora? Shit," Jaina cursed, and reached for her comlink again.

"What's wrong?"

"Alora is a Sith Apprentice. She's working for Sidious." Mara's eyes narrowed at the name.

"Jaden, Master Katarn, Master Durron and I are going to the Empress Teta system to stop them. I think they're planning a total assault on the core worlds."

"Let me come with you. I've got a score to settle with Sidious." Mara growled, and stormed back to her ship. Jaina sighed, and walked to hers.

The Jade Avenger and the Fallen Star landed in a docking bay, next to Skywalker Star Cruiser and the Millennium Falcon.

The Twin Suns sat at the far end of the bay, where Luke, Kyle, Kyp and Jaden were either loading things or debriefing for the mission.

"Luke!" Mara called, and Luke turned. Jaina and Mara hurried over there, to tell him what they've discovered.

Han sat in the cockpit of the Falcon running tests on all the systems. Chewbacca sat next to them, watching the group. He growled in his language.

"Yeah, I know your ancestor Zaalbar worked with Jedi, but you know Jaina wouldn't let you go with her." Han replied, and Chewie sighed.

" And no, I don't think if you mentioned you had ties to Bastilla would work either. This is strictly a Jedi mission."

/Alderaan to the Millennium Falcon/

Yes, Your worship/

/Han, I'm trying to be professional here/

/Alright, Alright. What do you need/

/A vacation would be nice/

/Now who's professional/

/Shut up. Could you come up to the Alderaan/

I'll be there in ten minutes. Falcon out/

Han wondered what Leia wanted. She sounded stressed. He really needed to talk to her about that vacation. But maybe after this crisis.

Han flipped a switch, and the Falcon roared to life. It lifted out of the hangar, and rocketed skyward.

Mara had decided to join the party, wanting to see this Alora chick in person

"Okay, we ready to roll?" Jaina asked, and the four others nodded in consent.

"Okay. May the Force be with you." Luke told them, and they filed onto the modified Corellian freighter.

The Twin Suns soared out of the hangar. When it passed the gravitational field of Yavin the freighter jumped into hyperspace.

Onboard the Alderaan

Han met Leia in the officer's lounge. She had a datapad in front of her, and was sipping on a drink. She looked up when he stopped at the table.

"Well, Princess, you wanted to see me?" He sat down opposite to her, and she handed the datapad to him.

"What's this?" He asked looking over the data.

"It's the standard cost for a wedding and honeymoon. I've doubled it because I also want to pay for Kyle and Jaden's wedding. "

"Jaina's serious about this, isn't she?" Han asked, and Leia nodded.

Han set his head in his hands, and sighed.

"Okay. If they're really into each other, let them get married. I just don't like the fact that he's way older than her."

"You were older than me when we got married." Leia pointed out.

"Yeah, seven years. Okay, I see where you're goin'. " Han leaned back.

"Good. Now what are you going to do when Jaina gets back?"

This was killing Han. "Apologize to them both." He said, rolling his eyes.

"Now what were you saying about Corellians are always right?" Leia asked, and he looked, and saw a grin on her face.

"You're lucky I'm on active duty, Your Worship." Han told her, smiling his famous smile.

"Oooh… the Great General Solo. I'm shaking."

"Yeah. The Great General Solo. Strikes fear…" They both looked up to the very familiar face of Lando Calrissian.

"Hello, Lando."

"Hello, Leia. I'm wondering where Mara is."

"Mara went with Jaina, Jaden, and Masters Katarn and Durron. They're going to the Empress Teta system."

"Oh. I wanted to see if she was alright, seeing as how she and Karrde were close."

"She seems to be doing fine, Luke isn't worried."

"Alright then. I will see you all later." Lando left.

Two days later

The Twin Suns dropped out of hyperspace by Corran, the main planet of the Empress Teta system.

The planed was a deep blue green, due to the forests and oceans that covered the planet. Cites floated over the forests, and tours were often lead through the forests.

/Unidentified Ship, this is the Dragoon. Identify yourself/

/Dragoon, this is Jedi Master Kyle Katarn, piloting the Twin Suns/

/Twin Suns, state your business/

/Investigation of a rumor of a unfriendly force in this system/

/Do you have authorization by the New Republic/

/Dragoon, this is Admiral Jaina Solo. They have authorization from me and Grand Admiral Ackbar./

/You have permission to land on Docking bay 77a in Atlantis City./

/Acknowledged. Twin Suns out/

Okay, I know. You all hate me. Review and tell me. I just had to end it here. So bite me! HEHEHEHE….
