Chapter 58

Of course Padme wanted nothing more to see her children right now, even if they were both unconsiscous and had stable vital signs but the doctor had declined her request to leave her bed in the sickbay. She had listened closely to the short medical report that the Doctor had given her concerning her injuries and those of her children, of course being aware of the fact that Luke would probably wake up out of his coma soon, because he definitely did have the ability to heal even the worst injuries like his father was able to do so before him. She was interrupted in her thoughts as a kind of sharp pain suddenly came to the surface and as she wasn't able to think clearly because of all the pain, she wasn't really able to pin point the exact location from where it came on her body. So she carefully tried to sit up in her bed but of course that quickly proved to be a big mistake: The sharp pain came back again and this time she had the feeling that hurt a lot more this time around. As she was finally able to block out the pain as best as she could in her weakened state, she figured that her back must have been severly hurt doing her fall because of the huge explosion at the Naboo Spaceport where she and her children had been right in the middle of it.

As she wasn't in the mood for any lectures of the doctor she decided to carefully lay back down on her bed and maybe it was for the best if would rest a little bit for now, but in the back of her mind she was also working hard on a plan to sneak away for a few minutes to see Leia and Luke. Meanwhile there were of course emergency meetings taking place both at the Naboo Palace as in the Office of the Chief of State Mon Mothma on the Capital World of the New Republic and both sides were trying to figure out how to handle this delicate situation the best and also plan their next moves regarding crisis management. „So far we have counted twenty people dead and a unknown number of injured people, as the reports from the Spaceport are stil coming in as we speak."

Queen Mairayn said as she sat at her desk in her office and looked right at the holo image of Mon Mothma, who had also gathered the members of the Security Council inside her office at the other end of the galaxy.

Of course it was obvious for Mon Mothma, how serious the whole situation was and this surely would be a big test for her as the Chief of State of the rather young New Republic. „Of course it's obvious that the New Republic is more than willing to give you all the assistance that you need in this situation. I think that I speak for all the people here on Coruscant when I say that we are all sorry for the loss of lives that your planet did have to suffer today."

Corellia System

It had taken quite a while but Han and Chewie had finally been able to get rid off all the remaining TIE Fighters. „ Let's just hope that we will have a little less problems on our hands on the way back home Chewie." The Wookie answered with his usual noises and Han couldn't help but think about Leia: Maybe I'm being a hopeless romantic after all those years with her by my side but I can't help but feel a lot of yearning towards her. But as quickly as this whole thought crossed his mind, he decided to ban it from it again as he knew that he couldn't risk to let himself get distracted from this important job that he and Chewie still had to do. Of course Admiral Ackbar had said that the mission should be an easy job if everything went according to plan, but when Han knew one thing for sure then it was that complications were no exceptions on any kind of routine missions.

A few lightyears away from Naboo

Somewhere else near Naboo the Sith Lord and Black Sun Boss Durga were pretty pleased with their work as they listened to the report from the Black Sun Agents that were still at the scene of the Attack at this moment. „Good, everything is going according to plan so far and with that it's time to start the next phase of our big master plan." Durga said with a big smile on his as he faced the Sith Lord Darth Bannon and he knew how important the Black Sun Boss would be to get back the Sith to their old strength.

„You're right my friend and together we will make sure that the Sith and the Black Sun will get back their power that they deserve!" Bannon said as he looked at the images from Naboo that were delivered by the cameras of the Black Sun Agents on Naboo and he was sure that the new Jedi Order would suffer the same fate as the young democracy that was formed on Corcusant, the home of the Old Republic that had been lead by a Sith for a long time.

Naboo

In the same sickbay where Leia and Padme were laying in a bed, Luke finally opened his eyes after he had spent quite a while with healing his injuries that he had suffered during the explosion at the Naboo Spaceport. Slowly he took a few moments to take in his surroundings, of course it didn't take long for him to realize why he lay in this hospital bed and he couldn't help but be concerned about the well-being of his mother and sister. But the most important question that popped up in his mind was: Who was responsible for attack on the Spaceport on a peaceful planet like Naboo seemed to be from the first impression that he had gotten from it?

Right at this moment he felt a huge disturbance in the force, which could only mean one thing: The Force was notifing him of an immenent danger but the exact nature of the threat was unknown at this point. Slowly Luke got up from the hospital bed, still feeling a bit groogy right now even if he had sucessfully healed all his inner injuries of his body. He had almost reached the Main Room of the Sickbay when he was stopped by a human voice: „Hey where do you think you're going?" The Doctor said and postioned himself between Luke and the sliding door that lead right into the big main room of the Sickbay as he waited for an explanation from his patient.

„I appreciate the medical care that you applied to me Doc, but because of the fact that I healed myself because of my Jedi Abilities, I am perfectly able to stand up on my own now." Luke said in a friendly but also determined voice.

„Okay good to know and where do you want to go now?" The Doctor asked Luke and the Jedi Master didn't take long tot hink about his reply, as he didn't want to waste too much time with a long discussion with the Doctor because he was really worried about the well-being of his mother and sister.

„I'm Jedi Master Luke Skywalker and I want to see how my sister Leia Organa Solo and Padme Amidala are doing right now." Of course he would never let those emotions take such a big a room in his life, being aware of the fact that those kind of feelings could also attract the Dark Side but that surely didn't mean that his only remaining family his mother and his sister weren't important to him.
