Chapter 65

In the end Padme and the Queen were on their own, as the rest of the Palace Security Guards hadn't been able to make it to the silver Starship of the Queen, which the former Senator and Queen knew all to well from her time as the Queen of Naboo and she barely had been able to keep the Stormtroopers far away enough so that they were finally able to leave the Hangar. Of course it had been quite a while since she had last flew a starship and this one time it only had been a small fighter, but because of the fact that she guessed that the Queen had no idea to fly a starship at all, she thought in the most optimistic way possible: I guess that I somehow will have to try my best to improvise in this difficult situation.

Back in the Jedi Temple Luke's meditation was interrupted as he sensed a huge disturbance in the force. He tried his best to find out more, wanting to know what kind of danger his mother and sister his sister were threatened by and for a moment he just wanted to let his gut take over. That meant that he would drop everything here on the Capitol World of the New Republic to help his family, but what if that meant that he was walking right into a trap? After meditating some more about this dilemma, he came to the conclusion that it wouldn't be a good idea to head into battle just like that without having a good plan and he also knew that the Jedi Council needed him the most in this times of war.

Through the force he reached out to his sister, wanting to make sure that she was alright and of course wondered why she was on board of a starship alone and their mother wasn't there with her instead but he knew that his mother was more than capable to take care of herself as he and his sister had closely listened to the exciting stories from their mother's past. He was interrupted in the middle of his medititation as a short signal tone let him that somebody seaked entrance into his modest quarters at the Jedi Temple, so he opened his eyes again and said: „Please come in, the door is open."

It taken quite some time but after doing her best with adjusting to this new situation, Padme had been able to get the silver starship away from the planet. After she seemed to have solved this problem for now, Padme couldn't help but ask herself: What are we going to do now? Ending up in this kind of situation again after just coming back from the dead surely had been one of the things that she would have least expected, besides getting the chance to spend time with her children after everything that had happened to her prior to her supposed death a couple of years ago.

She had been able to maneuver around a small Naboo Starfighter with a lot of training, but piloting such a big starship like this was surely so much harder to do. But at the same time she wasn't willing to give up at this point, let the Queen of her homeworld down in the process because she was sure that no matter how hard it might be to do that she would be able to come up with some kind of solution in this difficult situation.

Meanwhile Leia had finally reached the Palace of the Queen, finding a safe place to land the ship had been quite hard to do for the Pilot as they had been under constant fire by the attacking Stormtroopers and because of that she had been glad that the Pilot had been able to borrow her his blaster.

„Are you sure that it is a good idea to go out there alone?" The starship pilot practically had to scream over the loud noise of the blaster fire from the stormtroopers and even if Leia was aware oft he fact that it didn't look very good right now, she knew that she just had to find out if her mother was alright.

„I know it's risky but I have to find my mother, no matter what it takes and it might be hard but I'm going to find some way to get out of this complicated situation in one piece." Leia said with a lot of confidence in her voice and kept on returning fire as she took over behind one of the big columns that were located just a few feet away from the Palace.

Back at the Jedi Temple Kyp Durron came through the door of Luke Skywalker's modest quarters and said: „The rest of the Council has gathered and they are waiting for you arrivial to begin the meeting." Luke slowly got up from his sitting position and said:

„Good, then we shall not waste anymore time as we have a lot to discuss today." Then he and Master Durron made their way through the door to get to the meeting place of the Jedi High Council. Right after Luke had sat down on his chair Kyle Katarn started his report concerning his recent mission: „I've just returned from the former location of TAK Base and as I was able to capture one the enemy's weapon engineer, he revealed to me that this attack on one of our bases was the test run for some kind of super soldier called the Dark Trooper."

AN: How will the Council react to this big reveal? Will Leia be able to find her mother soon and help her out of this mess?
