It's because of your WONDEFUL FANTASTIC reviews that I am still writing this story! Other than I have a passion for Star Wars...
I was thinking of doing a Han/Leia story, but since I already have, including this one, three fics unfinished, I don't think I should until I'm done. Must focus...
korrd: erm, difficult questions, I don't know if Luke will be joining or not, possibly. Yes, this WILL be a Luke/Mara, and Elena will end up with someone, just someone that you won't expect. And not until she's about sixteen or seventeen. Thanks for your review!
Jinn Twins: Nope, Elena still has the crystals green for Qui-Gon. The specifics of the mission should be in this chapter. Glad you can't wait for the turning point, neither can I! Now, all I need is a name for the sequel...
phylitr: Yes, she will have an issue about that, keep reading and find out!
ILUVZIM: Excuse me while I burst into gut-wrenching laughter. (Bursts into gut-wrenching laughter) Palpopottimous! HA HA HA! TOO funny, mate! I love your reviews! Thank you! there will most definitely be a sequel!
Chiara Sholuk: Thankz! Hope you like this chapter.
Jessica-Angel-Skywalker: Erm, he's already beginning to, the seeds of doubt are sown, but the major change will come in the sequel, when Elena uses her powers in a way that will change his life forever. Whoa! That sounded like a MAJOR sequel trailer to me! Thankz for the review!
RavenRulzRF: Great ideas, as always! Thank you so much!
Typewritter 15: Well, the only reasons she would consider becoming a Sith would be: Her dad is one, and she loves him, it's easier to turn to, especially since she's got more power than a normal Force sensitive... and... well, there really are no others, and that's why she's not too keen on becoming one. Thank you for the review, hope you like this chapter!
who likes candy: Sorry to have kept you waiting on the edge of your seat, I've had the flu extremely bad for the past three days. Nerds are awesome, I have to say. Hope you like this chapter!
okanabe: Well, I'm glad you like Fantastic Four, X-Men, and all of those other cool superheroes. They're awesome! I think you already know my answer about... 'you know what'. I DON'T READ IT, WATCH IT, OR LIKE IT IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM! SO THERE! HA! It feels good to say that... thanks for your reviews!
completely-obessesed: I like your story lots, too! Thank you for your review, and enjoy this chapter!
AND NOW... ANOTHER JAW-DROPPING... THRILLING... AWE-INSPIRING EPISODE OF... REVIEWERS TORTURING SITH LORDS! (Slaps the person who was about to ring the Random Gong) HA! gotcha! Anyways, peeps, this little scene won't be as long as before, I want to focus more on our heroine...
Sith: YAY!
But don't worry, that just means you creeps will get double the amount of torture.
Reviewers: YAY! (Sith shriek)
Yavie Jinn: (Continues attack on Sith doubly hard with sporks)
Zim: Palps, you're now a lab rat testing the most dangerous new rides for the theme parks! The first one is... Jedi Training 101: Ride of the Jedi Starfighter! An extremely powerful and FORCE thrilling roller coaster! (Maul promptly faints, while Palps looses his cookies in utter fear)
Chiara: Yee haa! In the next attraction for our little theme park theme here, you guys will have to duel each other in the Jedi Combat training room.
Palps: Is it just me or does this sound like some kind of Jedi theme park, here?
Luke: You got that right, ya creep!
Angel: (Laughs) Cool, at least you're safe. Now we got 2/3 more family to find. (smiles at Luke and hugs him)
Well, we'll finish this little scheme later, right now, let's get back to the MAIN story, shall we? The part you've all been waiting for.
Chapter 27 (With sequel coming up shortly! WOO HOO!)
Disclaimer: See chapter one.
Elena quickly put on her clothes, snatched her suitcase, and walked down the hallways, which were very quiet. It was still extremely early in the morning. Elena entered the hangar bay, where she grinned as she walked towards her Nubian fighter. Putting her suitcase in a storage compartment in one of the hatches, she climbed up into the cockpit.
"Elena, wait," her father called suddenly, striding towards her quickly.
Elena smiled, stepped down, and hugged her dad. "I'll see you soon," she told him.
"Be careful, Elena," Vader replied. "I don't want anything to happen to you."
She snorted. "Well, something's gotta happen to me," she snickered. "Or else nothing will ever happen!"
He sighed. "You know what I'm talking about."
"Yeah, and thanks," she replied gratefully. "Wish me luck."
"Judging from my experience, there's no such thing as luck," Vader answered, putting his hands on his belt.
"Well judging from my experience, there is," Elena retorted, climbing back into the cockpit with a cute grin on her face.
Vader stared at her. "Be safe."
"Thanks, I'll try," Elena replied, and closed the cockpit hatch. She then saluted him, nodded, and zoomed out of the hangar bay, speeding to the max. She had inherited the need for speed from none other than her father.
Vader sighed, watching her leave, and walked back into the palace, feeling for the first time in a couple months since Elena's arrival, rather lonesome. Ah, the trials of being a parent, he thought mildly.
As soon as Elena had left the planet of Coruscant, a feeling of dread came over her. What if she didn't know what to say? Would she have to kill somebody? Would she do well? "Argh, right now I need some pointers from Leia," she grumbled. "I'm no Senator."
Don't worry, Geenine beeped, You'll do fine, I'm sure.
"May the Force be with me," Elena declared, rolling her eyes. "Cause I'm sure gonna need it. But hey, this ride sure is sweet, isn't it?" She began doing some spins and turns, and suddenly went into a nosedive. "WOO HOO!" she shrieked happily.
STOP STOP STOP STOP! Geenine beeped frantically, squealing in fear.
"What? Why?" Elena laughed, pulling back up into a normal stance. "That was fun!"
It's dangerous, that's what it was! Geenine promptly retorted. You're worse than your father was! Poor Artoo!
Elena was curious. "You mean Artoo Detoo?" she asked. "Isn't he living with Threepio and Leia on Alderaan?"
Geenine beeped in assent.
"Hm, wish I could meet them," she said, "But Threepio wouldn't remember my dad, he had his memory wiped."
Too bad, Geenine replied.
For the next few hours, things went smoothly and quietly, with no other ships in sight.
Elena sighed tiredly. "This is boring," she said, "I wish something could happen."
As if on cue, a ship suddenly zoomed up and began to open fire on her.
"IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS GOOD, WHAT IN THE HECK!" Elena yelled, startled. "Geenine, quick, get me back on manual pilot, I want to have control!"
When the droid complied, Elena went into evasive maneuvers. "Hold on to your lightsabers, cause it's about to get rough," she said through clenched teeth.
Oh no... moaned Geenine.
"Let's try this," Elena said to herself, zooming into a spin. "Hang on, I'll try to shake 'em." She began to spin, and pulled up behind the ship. "Time to fire!" she said, and returned the shooting on the other ship. What she didn't realize was that she accidentally pressed the hailing link, so whatever she was saying, the people on the other ship could hear it.
"Imperial vessel, cease your fire or we shall terminate you," a voice came from the intercom.
"Oh will you just shut up!" Elena shouted, still firing.
"Repeat, we will terminate you if you do not cease fire!" the other ship repeated sternly.
"Do you think I'm gonna listen to a buncha idiots like you?" Elena shouted back, "Cause you're dead wrong!" She continued to fire on them.
The other ship, which was larger than hers, turned around and began to return the fire.
"Here's where the fun begins," Elena grinned. Her eyes went a cloudy white as a sudden space storm came upon the other ship. Before the people on the opposing ship could blink an eye, Elena was hidden by the storm and immediately went into hyperspace, leaving them astonished, pondering what had happened.
You should have gone into hyperspace before, Geenine scolded.
"Well, hey, I was trying to delay the arrival to Cato Neimoidia as much as possible," Elena defended herself.
And almost got yourself killed because of it! The droid retorted.
Elena rolled her eyes. "I got it covered, dude, chill! Relax! I got us outta there, didn't I?"
Geenine made a rude noise.
"Sheesh, being Obi-Wan's former droid hasn't helped your attitude much," Elena muttered.
Picked it up from Artoo, Geenine explained.
Elena sighed. "This is going to be a looong trip," she stated glumly.
---
Approximately thirty minutes later, Elena realized that they were nearing their destination. "We're coming up Cato Neimoidia, Geenine," she told the droid, "Prepare to take us out of hyperspace."
When they came out of hyperspace, Elena gazed at the green, white, and blue planet. "Wow, it's prettier than I thought," she said softly.
She steered her ship towards the planet and entered the atmosphere. Following her charts, she zoomed her fighter right into a hangar bay belonging to the viceroy of the planet, a Neimoidian named Rouse Gunray, a distant cousin of Nute Gunray, who had been assassinated by her father before she was born.
Let's hope he doesn't have a grudge against my dad, or I'm doomed, she thought to herself.
As her hatch opened, she leapt out and saw some dignitaries coming towards her.
"Ah, you must be young Lady Vader," a Neimoidian said, "Welcome to our planet, your Highness. We trust you will enjoy your stay here."
She bowed. "Thank you, but I'm not Lady Vader, I'm Lady Skywalker. And thank you for having me here."
The Neimoidian nodded. "Come, we will have someone take your things and show you to your room."
"That'd be great," Elena replied. "Geenine, you coming?"
The droid beeped and hopped down onto the ground, following her.
"I didn't expect her to be so young," one dignitary whispered.
"That will make it easier to terminate her," another added.
Elena noticed them whispering and spoke up, "Excuse me, I believe that our intentions were to negotiate a treaty, not talk about ways to kill me." She smiled smugly when she noticed the shocked looks on their faces.
"Uh, forgive us, Your Highness, but it was not you we were speaking of," one stuttered.
She nodded understandingly. "Of course not, I apologize," she replied coolly, "now if you'll forgive me, I am rather tired, so I would like to be shown to my room." With that, she left, following a servant to her quarters.
The dignitaries glanced nervously at each other. "We shall have to keep a close eye on her," one stated. "She is dangerous, she has her father's blood in her."
The others nodded in agreement.
OK, that was that chapter, let's see how the Sith are doing back at the ol' Jedi amusement park!
Raven: After they're done here, they're takin' the Jedi younglings to Jettster Jawa's (a Star Wars Equivlent of Chuckee Cheese's)!
Sith: NOOOO!
Palps: I'm allergic to Jawa pizza!
Maul: I'm allergic to Jedi younglings!
Reviewers: WE. DON'T. CARE!
OK, people, we're done here! hope you liked this chapter!
