Chapter 83

Back on Coruscant, Luke had just finished another training session with the Jedi Younglings and couldn't help but think what Ben Kenobi, who was probably still watching over him was thinking about this whole new generation of Jedi that Luke had been busy training for quite a while now. Through the force he reached to Leia, who was spending a lot of time with their mother, who had come back into their lives unexpected and his sister seemed to be quite happy with having her real mother at her side after losing her adoptive parents through the destructive force of the second Death Star. Of course Luke was also glad about that unexpected reunion with his real mother, after having thought for all those years that she was dead but being a jedi meant that he had to keep his true feeling bottled up inside of him, instead of displaying them that openly like any other human being would do it.

Meanwhile in the Imperial Research Center on Fondor, Han and his Wookie Buddy were almost halfway through the big building as Han signaled his Wookie buddy to look for cover, as he was pretty sure that he had heard some movement right in front of them and his instinct had never let him down in the past. A few feet away from their current position, some stormtroopers hid behind some boxes as they knew that they couldn't risk an open shooting match in this area with sensible equipment. Han and Chewie kept their weapons ready the whole time, being aware of the fact that the enemy would let the trap close at the right moment when they knew that there was no way out for their two targets.

New Republic Military Flagship

Leia and her mother were interrupted in the middle of their conversation as Leia's commlink signaled an incoming call from the bridge of the starship. "Sorry to interrupt you Mother but this probably an important call that I have to take." Padme just nodded in response and as she listened to the whole conversation, she couldn't help but get a little bit nostalgic for a short moment and think about her days in politics back in the days of the Old Republic.

After finishing the short conversation Leia said: "We will reach Coruscant in a few minutes, so let's go to the bridge now where Admiral Ackbar and Mon Mothma are waiting for our arrival at the moment."

As they walked through the large corridors of the Starship, Padme thought a lot about what it would feel like to go back to politics in this world that was still so new to her, as most of the people that she got to knew over the years were already dead for a long time. But at the same she wasn't going to concentrate just on her worries but focus on the positive: Being a part of their children's lives again after she had thought that this wouldn't be possible at the point when they born into this world. Of course, she was also glad to be back to her home world Naboo, which brought still brought so many good memories to her mind and serving the new Queen of Naboo would be huge honor for her.

Fondor, Imperial Research Facility

In the middle of the long corridor, a big blaster shootout between the stormtroopers and the two intruders was still in progress. Han and Chewie had already taken out a lot of enemies but it seemed like either the reserves of the enemy weren't depleting any time soon or more likely it just seemed like that because this was just proof of the fact again how much of a strategic genius Grand Admiral Thrawn was in everything that he did so far.

Of course, Han had thought about some Plan B ahead of time, if the way back to the ship would become a huge problem for them and after firing two shots out of his blaster he said:

"Chewie cover me, because it looks like this little baby here in my hand is our only way out of here."

Answering with his usual growls, his Wookie buddy then kept the blaster shots from the enemy away from his buddy to give him enough time to aim that Thermal Detonator good enough, so it would make as much damage as possible in the end.

New Republic Military Flagship

Standing right next to her daughter and Mon Mothma, one of the few people that had also survived the war and that she had started working with back in the days when she had represented her home world Naboo in the Senate of the Old Republic, Padme watched the final approach of the Battle ship to the surface of Coruscant.

"So, when are you planning on continuing your Jedi Training with your brother?" At first Leia didn't really register that question from her mother as she was lost in her thoughts, because of having so much on her plate right now. Padme then decided to softly nudge her, which startled Leia for a brief moment before she finally replied:

"I don't know when I will able to do that, as me and Mon Mothma have so much things to take care of right now but I'm definitely planning on continuing my Jedi training very soon."
