Ok, I'm sorry but I can't finish this story. I have too much going on right now, so I'm going to give you all the outline of what I planned for the story. This way you all will know what was going to happen.
I want to say thank you to author Jedi Jesi Jiin for beta reading my chapters.
The trio soon end up on the planet Myrkr, an unchartered world that is home to ysalamiri, reptiles that can suppress force powers in their presence. They find that this is the main base for the alliance attacking imperial military stations. After meeting with the commander of Rogue Squadron, a cathar named Ralga Nar-Hallas (Yes that is a reference to wing commander), the three meet the leader of the alliance: Admiral Stazi (through holocomm, since Stazi is still keeping appearances of a loyal imperial). Stazi is intrigued with Jacen and his friends, and offers them a chance to join his forces. They decide to join the renegades, though Jacen chooses to not tell anyone else who he really is.
Jacen and Kyle continue their training on Myrkr, though the ysalamiri occasionally cause problems. Jacen, Kyle and Jan start doing reconnaissance missions for Stazi while Jan even joins Rogue Squadron as commander Nar Hallas' second. On an early mission, Jacen runs into an imperial knight named Boc. When the twi'lek demands he surrender or die, Jacen uses the Force to snap his neck, taking the former knight's lightsabers for himself and Kyle.
However, on one mission to Kuat with Kyle, Jacen finds himself in a situation which causes him to tap into the dark side. Jacen runs into the brother of his former girlfriend Dani Quee, and is informed that she is dead. Apparently Dani had been pregnant with Jacen's child and had left the family home after her mother tried to force her to abort the child. Shortly after that, the apartment complex she was living in caught fire and she couldn't escape. Jacen, in shock that his child was lost before they got the chance to live, goes to the site of the now ruined complex to pay respects to Dani and their son (he feels it was a boy). Once there, he recieves a vision that shows the fire was actually arson. Jacen tracks the arsonist, a local gang leader, and attacks them in anger. The gang leader confesses that they were hired to commit the crime, and Jacen rips the information from his mind, learning the person who ordered the crime was Dani's own mother: Kathleen Quee, the governor of Kuat. As he leaves, the gang leader tries to shoot Jacen, but he blocks the shot and than uses the Force to crush the gang leader's heart (saying the leader clearly wasn't using it to begin with). Jacen is unaware his eyes flash the sickly yellow of someone who is drawing on the dark side. Jacen than goes to the governor's mansion on Kuat and attacks Dani's mother. After learning Dani's mother wanted her daughter's death because her pregnancy was a political nightmare, Jacen renders the governor braindead but still alive.
Upon returning to Myrkr, Kyle learns about Jacen's actions from a holonet news report. Although the media suspect the actions were the work of a rogue imperial knight, Kyle knows it was Jacen and confronts him. The two get into an argument where Jacen justifies his attack on the governor and says she wasn't worth the effort to try to redeem. Kyle responds that Jacen now sounds like his grandfather Luke, as he had a similiar opinion of Kylo Ren. At this, Jacen snaps with rage and force chokes Kyle almost to the point of death. Horrified when he snaps out of his anger, Jacen chooses to set out with R2 in a yt-2000 freighter the alliance allows him to use.
The hit and run strikes start to get more serious for the empire and Arcina starts to crack down on resistance across the galaxy. Meanwhile, Admiral Stazi learns that a new weapons project is underway at the shipyards of Sluis Van. Using his connections he learns that the empire is experimenting in a new type of star destroyer that is almost completed at the shipyards. Stazi decides to take the ship and other star destroyers under repair at the shipyards, knowing this will essentially cause open war to break out.
However, the imperial military is aware there is a traitor in their ranks and are using the ships to lure them into a trap. Jerec has entrusted this task to Admiral Rian Johnson, who has a personal grudge against Stazi due to his prejudice attitude towards any non human races. Johnson strongly suspects Stazi is the traitor and therefore this is personal for him.
Stazi leads a fleet of ships personally to Sluis Van after arranging for extra help from members of the planet's leadership. The defenses are shut down and the rebels are able to enter the system unhindered. However, when the troops sent to secure the ship fail to report, many start to suspect something is wrong. Suddenly, Admiral Johnson leads a fleet into the system and traps the renegade fleet against the shipyards, whose defenses are restored. It seems that the alliance is caught and finished.
However, Stazi had actually suspected a trap the entire time and secretly orchestrated it to work for him. Stazi orders his fleet to engage the imperials, initially catching the enemy fleet off guard. When Johnson orders fire from the shipyards, the defenses (including a ship-destroying hypervelocity gun) fire on the imperials. Stazi had arranged for Kyle and Jan to infiltrate the defense command and take control. The defenses specifically target Johnson's fleet, destroying most of the ships. With the enemy fleet defeated, the alliance flees with the ships.
Arcina does not react well to this defeat. Not only did Stazi escape with a secret weapon, the defeat is starting to reignite resistance to imperial rule across the galaxy. Jerec brings Johnson to her, and she executes him through the use of dark side tendrils. As a message, she personally leads a fleet to Sluis Van and destroys the capitol city. She than blockades the system and proceeds to starve the planet's population to death. She further warns the galaxy that a similar fate will await any who join Stazi.
Jacen goes out into the galaxy on an odyssey to figure out how he should proceed. His dreams are haunted by the image of his son while also seeing images of himself as the emperor (the latter are warnings from the Force about the potential of him falling to the dark side). His journeys take him to numerous planets, including dathomir. Here his ship has to land for repairs and Jacen needs to gather wreckage from the battle that took place here during the clone wars. Jacen also briefly integrates with a dathomiri witch tribe and grows close to a young human woman named Tenel Ka. He also meets an old hermit who has resided on the planet for decades. This hermit is an elderly togruta female who has knowledge of the jedi order of old. Jacen implores her to teach him how to fight with a lightsaber so he can defend himself from the imperial knights. While cautious due to the anger she senses in Jacen, she agrees.
As time goes on, Jacen learns his mentor is actually Ahsoka Tano, the former padawan of his ancestor Anakin Skywalker. Tano had been accused of killing someone during the clone wars and expelled from the order so the republic could put her on trial. Although Anakin found the real culprit, the fact that the council didn't stand with her upset Tano and she chose not to rejoin the jedi when the council offered. She fought in the early rebellion, and after the war ended she set off with a friend to look for another friend. Her own journeys caused her to crash on dathomir, and she was stranded. The duo decide to head back out into the greater galaxy, and Tenel Ka decides to go with them.
Stazi continues his attacks on the empire. However, Arcina's monstrous way of dealing with Sluis Van scared many worlds to refuse aid to the resistance fighters. Eventually, the empire locates Myrkr through the use of a traitor. The resistance is attacked by a massive armada that destroys their stronghold and forces Strazi to scatter his fleet into the outer rim to escape. Kyle and Jan stay with the alliance. Kyle continues to practice his force powers alone. Meanwhile, Jerec starts to take a personal interest in finding Kyle while Arcina continues her hunt for Jacen (unaware of who he really is).
Tano becomes further weary of Jacen's attitude. Eventually the crew comes to the world of Atollon, a former rebel alliance world. Here they meet the Bendu, an entity who claims to exist on the edge of the light and dark sides of the force. After one too many outbursts from Jacen, Tano refuses to continue to instruct him until he makes peace with his inner turmoil. Through prodding from Tano and Bendu, Jacen finally admits that his turmoil is caused by his fear. Jacen does want to do more in the galaxy, but he is afraid of taking up the jedi way because he fears he'll fail like his ancestors. Jacen saw that each of his ancestors failures (Anakin, Leia and Luke) caused extreme suffering for the galaxy, and Jacen is terrified of making the galaxy worse than it already is. This is why he refused to listen to Luke when his ancestor appeared to him.
Jerec plans to lure the alliance into another trap by targeting the world of Dac, the homeworld of the Mon Calamari and Quarren. He knows that Stazi has their support and hopes that by attacking them he'll draw the alliance out. Stazi knows what the empire is doing, but takes the bait anyway to protect his allies as well as the Mon Calamari shipyards (one of the few shipyards that allows ships to join his fleet). The resulting battle sees the imperial forces driven off, but Stazi loses a large portion of his personal fleet. Therefore, the imperials come out on top here. Meanwhile, Kyle becomes the alliance's main defender against imperial knights when they are encountered.
On Atollon, the Bendu warns Jacen that he needs to be more wary of the dark side, or he'll become an abomination like Arcina. This peaks Jacen's interest in Arcina's history. The Bendu leads them all to a set of ruins on the planet that portrays Celestial beings. These ruins are actually a portal into a realm known as the world between worlds. Jacen uses his powers to open the portal and he, Tenel and Tano enter the realm. Through this they learn Arcina's history, and learn that she is actually Rey, the former apprentice of Luke Skywalker who defeated the first order.
Years ago, after the resistance defeated the first order, Rey set to work trying to restore the jedi order. During this intermission period, Rey journeys into the unknown regions and is captured by the yuuzhan vong and their grysk cousins (the grysk are actually vong who use regular mechnical technology). She is tortured through experimentation on her as well as the embrace of pain, a vong biological device that stimulates pain in anyone who is wrapped in it. Rey develops a deep hatred of her captors, starting her fall to the dark side. She manages to escape after months, and crash lands on Dxun, the jungle moon of the planet Onderon. Here, she relies more and more on her anger as she fights to survive against the predators on the moon. She finally locates a giant tomb, and discovers the spirit of a long dead sith lord, Freedon Nadd.
Nadd had ruled Onderon as its king millennia ago, and offers to teach her the ways of the dark side. Due to her self-taught jedi skills (lack of warning of the dark side), as well as her hatred of her former captors, Rey agrees and takes the name Arcina. After months of training in the tomb, Arcina becomes a master of the force. She also learns a dark side ability that allows her to consume the life energy of another being, making her stronger and keeping her young. Arcina finished Nadd once she no longer has a use for him, and escapes Dxun. They also learn that Arcina was the one who started the war with the vong. After escaping Dxun, she lured her former jedi apprentices into a trap on a frontier world of the Chiss Ascendancy. She than manipulated the vong to the planet so they would destroy it and the jedi, as well as the entire planet's population. Arcina used the oppourtunity to drain the life and Force from all the people who die, making her stronger and keeping her young (this is why the bendu calls her an abomination). Jacen is disgusted and enraged at this, and in that moment wants to pull Arcina out of the past into the realm so he can destroy her. However, Tano tells him he can't do this: Arcina was innocent until she learned from Nadd, and her influence on history is too great to alter without causing unforseen consequences (he may even cause himself to not be born). Jacen reluctantly follows his mentor's advice. Jacen also tries to save Dani and their unborn child in the past, but since Dani was not in-tuned with the Force he can't pull her into the realm.
As they leave the realm, Jacen destroys the ruins so no one can use the realm to alter history. He is slightly depressed he didn't destroy Arcina when he had the chance, but Tano assures him he did the right thing, calling him by his full name. Suddenly, a voice calls out in surprise at Jacen's name. As the group looks around, a team of imperial knights led by Arcina herself reveals themselves to have been hiding at the ruins through Force camoflauge (Jacen's opening the portal amplified his presence in the Force, allowing Arcina to find him). Arcina manages to fight all of Jacen's crew at once and effortlessly defeat them all (destroying Jacen's lightsaber in the process), but the Bendu intervenes and allows them to escape.
The crew flee into the unknown regions, and locate a world called Zonama Sekot. Here they find a colony of yuuzhan vong and grysk who escaped the slaughter of their people and decided to start over on their new world. Jacen is uneasy due to the vong's past crimes against the galaxy, but starts to accept them after continued interacions with Nei Rin, a shaper who specializes in less violent forms of biotechnology. Jacen perfects his skills on Zonama Sekot, which includes creating a new lightsaber. During this time, he and Tenel Ka fall in love and she takes up the training he is learning from Tano as well. Shortly after Tano declares Jacen's training complete, Jacen comes up with a plan to expose Arcina's crimes: the grysk had created a way to copy a person's thoughts into a viewable program. Using this technology, Jacen creates a holo of all he learned from the world between worlds, including how she used the vong. The surviving vong are outraged at this, and agree to aid Jacen and his crew in stopping the empress.
Stazi and his alliance rebuild their forces and start to fight the imperial armadas from their new strongholds in the outer rim. However, a surprise attack leads to his capture. The admiral is taken to the world of Coruscant for trial and execution.
On Coruscant, Arcina is overseeing Stazi's trial personally. A rescue attempt made by Kyle and Jan fails and ends in their capture as well. Jerec takes great pleasure in taunting Kyle. Realizing they're trapped, Kyle proposes to Jan, and she accepts. At the trial, which is broadcasted live to the entire galaxy, Arcina sentences the rebels to death. However, the imperial knight assigned to carry out the deed frees them instead. The knight reveals himself to be Jacen, who reveals his heritage publically. The vong also reveal they infiltrated Coruscant and attack Arcina's forces, resulting is a planet wide melee between them. Jacen takes Stazi, Kyle and Jan into the underbelly of Coruscant's cities and meets with the rest of his crew. Jacen and Kyle repair their friendship. When the vong fleet arrives in the system, Jacen and his coalition make their escape. In the process, they also hijack the holonet and broadcast the truth of Arcina's actions to the galaxy, as well as the fact she is palpatine's granddaughter. This ignites galactic outrage, destroys the alliance between the Chiss Ascendancy and empire, and causes large swaths of the galaxy to join Stazi.
Months later, the galaxy had descended into all out war once again. Tano and Jacen finish Kyle's training. Kyle and Jan also marry. Meanwhile, Arcina decides to strike back against Jacen in an extremely personal way. Using a yuuzhan vong she captured years ago, she develops a biotoxin that kills any life exposed to it in minutes. She than weaponizes it into a missile, and deploys it on Euphrates. The result is the death of the entire world. The galaxy suspects that the vong were the ones who committed the attack, which causes public opinion to start to turn against the alliance.
This weapon immediately becomes the priority target of the alliance. Locating the source in the Onderon system, Stazi gathers all his forces together and attacks the station where the toxin is produced. A massive battle ensues, with Tano and Jan fighting in space while Jacen, Tenel Ka and Kyle descend to Dxun upon sensing Arcina. Encountering a garrison of imperial knights, Jacen journeys into Nadd's tomb alone while his fellow jedi hold off the enemy. Jacen finally encounters Arcina, who gloats that Jacen and all her enemies walked right into a trap once again. The empress tells him that the toxin is designed to spread through explosions, meaning that destroying the station will only scatter it throughout the entire system, as well as the fact that she and those who draw on the dark side are naturally immune to it. Arcina plans to destroy all life in the system except for her knights and consume the Force energy of all who die, thus destroying her enemies and increasing her already ludicrous force powers. The act will also cause the alliance to look like pariahs in the galaxy and allow the empire to remain in control. She offers Jacen a place at her side, but he refuses, and declares himself a jedi like his ancestors. A fierce duel ensues, which ends with Arcina overpowering Jacen. But before Arcina can deal the final blow, Jacen recovers enough strength to grab her and sever her connection to the force, ending the fight.
Jacen declares Arcina's reign at an end. Although stripped of the force, Arcina refuses to surrender and attacks with her lightsaber. Jacen is ultimately forced to strike his opponent down. When her knights sense her demise, they flee the moon into the galaxy. Kyle, meanwhile, duels and defeats Jerec.
Jacen exits the tomb and immediately informs Stazi, who calls for his forces to stop their attack on the station and tries to hail the imperial fleet. However, its too late as a wing of bombers land a direct hit on the station's main reactor, triggering the stations self destruct and thus dooming all life in the system.
As the news of the toxin's design spreads throughout all the fleets, Stazi is resigned to this being his end while Jacen and Tenel, realizing this will be their last chance to be together, marry in the dathomiri custom (Jacen allows Tenel to capture him). However, Tano (who had been shot down earlier and crashed on the station) fights her way through the few security forces left, and reaches the armory where the toxin is stored. She tries to stop the toxin but her age and the strain from the space battle has exhausted her. Just as she is about to give up, Anakin Skywalker appears to her as a Force ghost. Seeing her former mentor (whom she felt was lost forever) redeemed allows Tano to find the strength to stop the empress' plan. Using the force, she creates a force bubble around the entire room. When the station explodes, her shield holds up and the armory is tractored into the imperial flagship. A ceasefire is called, and the two sides meet on the ship.
The jedi board the imperial flagship to find Tano dying, The strain of her shield to protect the system drew too much from her, and she passes into the force after telling Jacen that his ancestors are proud of him.
On Onderon's surface, Stazi and the imperial admiral in command arrange an official meeting to formally end the war. The story ends with Jacen reaching out to Luke to apologize to him for his past attitude, who appears to his descendant and warmly smiles at him, thus clearing the air between them.
An epilogue details how Jacen and his fellow jedi restored the order to the galaxy while a new republic and empire form from the two opposing sides remaining from the war. Jacen and Tenel Ka also have numerous children, restoring the Skywalker line to the galaxy.
Here are a few things I want to say about the story
Freedon Nadd
I originally planned for him to be Arcina's ancestor. However, when RoS said Rey was palpatine's granddaughter I felt this would be redundant.
I wanted him to be in the story because I felt his own story mirrors Kylo Ren since both their mentors failed them. As a way to test him, Nadd's mentor got him so worked up that he became angry and than left herself open to attack. The idea was to see if he could calm down, but he failed and struck her down. His fall was completely his mentor's fault, and a friend of mine likened it to someone offering drugs to someone on their last day in rehab.
Yuuzhan Vong and Grysk
The Grysk appear to be Disney's way of incorporating the vong into their canon storylines. I felt the idea of vong using regular technology (what the grysk use) was interesting, so I made the Grysk a vong scout force who were stranded in the galaxy and needed to use mechanical technology since they couldn't recreate the biotechnology the rest of their people use.
Ok, that is about it. Let me know what you think of the story in a review. Also, if anyone is interested in some scenes I already planned out, let me know and I can write them out.
