Chapter 1

It was the Jedi High Council meeting, the last she planned on attending, at least for a while, she was planning to be on her way to follow Luke and Ben, being Ben's former Master it would be easier to track him then it would be Luke even after knowing him for 35 some years and being in love with him all that time. Masters and apprentices shared a special bond, a bond that could be touched to find one of each other, even without the other knowing it.

Kenth Hamner was finishing with the meeting.

"Is there any other things that need to be brought to our attention before we dismiss?" He asked, looking at all of the Masters, some had been Master's for years longer than himself, but Admiral Daala wanted him as the interim Grand Master.

"I do Master Hamner." Shelley Harris Master Jedi said.

"Yes Master Harris, what do you have for us?" Grand Master Kenth Hamner asked.

"I will be leaving today to follow my own path; my visions of late have become clouded and disorienting. I will contact you to let you know where I am or what I'm up to."

"We need all the Masters we can get right now, request denied."

"I was not requesting, Kenth remember I have been a Master twice as long as you, Daala chose you because you could be controlled where as I am not. The only Master who has the authority over me is Grand Master Luke Skywalker and as you are not he."

"I may not be Luke Skywalker but I am the acting Grand Master and you will follow orders."

"If this comes to a fight Kenth you know I will win."

"Fine but don't come back, a Master that leaves the Order in a time of need is not a Master that comes back."

"When I come back Kenth and believe me I will, you and I will have a go."

Shelley got up and left her seat before being dismissed went to her room and collected her things. She was almost done when the chime of her door rang through her room.

"Come in, Jaina."

"Aunt Shelley, why are you leaving us?"

"Because there is an unbalance in the force near the Maw and I'm going to find out what it is."

Jaina closed her eyes reaching out of with force.

"I don't feel anything."

"Our young ones that were hidden there during the Vong war are going Barvy now. It's the only thing I can think of."

"Promise me you will keep in touch with me, I've already lost Anakin, Jacen, Chewie, Aunt Mara, Now Uncle Luke and Ben."

"I promise, dear one. And when you're wedding time comes, call me and I'll be there. I Love you."

"I Love you, too. Aunt Shelley."

She gave her a hug and let her feel her love through the force.

"Oh, and Aunt Shelley."

"Yes?"

"Tell Uncle Luke and Ben, Hi for me."

Shelley could still hear her tinkling laughter through the door. Shelley walked to the hanger where her X-Wing she put her bag in the cargo compartment.

"Are we ready Motor?"

Getting an affirmative twitted.

"Alright let's go."

She force leaped into her cockpit. Put on her helmet. Lowering her canopy.

"Alright, ready for launch."

And where are we going? He asked

"The Maw. Let's just say Luke and Ben are in trouble and I have resigned my position within the Jedi."

Figures you have been in love with him since…

"Okay that's enough."

Alright. To the Maw. And The Love of your life.

"Oh I'm getting ready to space you."

Sure you are.

"Courasant Control to outgoing X-Wing Identify yourself."

"Control this is Master Shelley Harris outbound."

"You have clearance."

"Thanks Control. May the Force be with you."

Meanwhile in the Council Chambers.

"I cannot believe you Hamner, the strongest Master we have next to The Grand Master himself and also the oldest Master and you try to throw her out."

"Master Durron, she is loose cannon and now she's not our problem."

The door slid open and Jaina Solo walked in.

"She's gone."

"Did you put the tracking device on her X-Wing like I told you, too?"

"Yes, but it won't last that long, I can promise you, that."

"And how is that?"

"Why don't you turn it on, I'm betting within five minutes it will no longer work."

"And why is that?"

"She was the other Emperor's Hand, between her and Mara Jade Skywalker they were above and beyond powerful, knowing things other people didn't want them to know."

He brought it up on a screen.

"Hamner, she is not a loose cannon, until you said she wasn't welcome back, you realize when the Grand Master the real Grand Master returns and finds out about this he may very well kill you himself."

"I call this session to a close." Kyle Katarn called and getting up taking Jaina's arm and walked out.

Back in Space.

"Motor, Surge the X-Wing for tracking device."

There was a buzz sound.

"Thanks."

Council Chamber

"What the Kriff." Kenth Proclaimed

The tracking device was gone.

Jaina turned looked at Kenth Hamner Smiled and said.

"I told you." Laughing along with Kyp as they all departed.

Back in Space

"I'm going into a trance, get me to the Maw, and I'll take us in from there."

You've got it, sleep well.

Jedi Temple

"You know I've never known Master Harris as a loose Cannon, we as in the council always knew where she was, either on a mission or searching for her brother most of the time Mara was with her on that one, we have never had a problem with her." Kyle talking to Cilghal, Kyp, and Saba.

"Why would she be searching for her brother, her name is well known by the Galaxy at large." Cilghal asked in her Mon Cal rasp.

"Because she sent him into hiding with a pair of Jedi. I'm sure they are somewhere they don't get wind of us often." Kyp said.

"Do you think that is what she is doing now hunting him down?" Saba

"Most likely." Kyle said.

Back in Space

Four days later.

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP.

"Okay, I'm Awake."

Dropping into the force. Feeling for Ben and it was like he wasn't there.

"Okay there's something going on. Hang on Ben."

Sinkhole Station

Ben and Luke were both Mind Walking.

Back in Space

"Jade Shadow? Ben, Luke Respond."

Nothing.

"Alright Motor were going in."

Do we have to? Look at that it looks like a ship grave yard.

"Yes, we do."

When the canopy opened.

"Okay go and hide by the Shadow look old and dead be ready to hot fire if we have trouble."

Roger, Roger.

"Very funny, you'd think we we're in the Clone Wars."

She jumped out of the ship and it moved just like she had told him to. And started to reach out for Ben and Luke.

Walking through this place made her think of Centerpoint Station. Then she found there force signatures on the other side of this door but she could tell Ben had rigged it, maybe she had trained him to well.

She banged on.

"BEN, LUKE."

There was another presence besides there's on the other side of the door. She walked around to the side it took a good five minutes. And begun cutting into the room with her Lightsaber. She kick it in then on two beds were Ben and Luke had I.V.'s both dry.

She changed Ben's I.V. bag then Luke's. She went over to the girl cuffed to the wall and check on her. She immediately started an I.V.

She started scanning Ben's body then Luke's with the force, Ben was weak but Luke was worse she put Protein in Ben's I.V. bag, but Luke's she put on a full protein I.V. bag on the other arm. She went to the girl and added protein to her bag.

She removed both Luke and Ben's Lightsaber's so they wouldn't spook and kill her by accident.

She waited for 5 hours and nothing.

She thought about putting them into healing trances, just as she put her hand on Luke's forehead a arm grabbed it, she opened her eye's looking down into the most beautiful blue eyes, she'd ever seen.

"Shelley?"

"Luke. It's okay I've got you."

"Who are you?"

"Aunt Shelley?"

"Master Shelley Harris. That's my name. I hooked you up to an I.V. I hope you are feeling well?"

"Shelley, what are you doing here?"

"I'm on a mission of my own design; I resigned my seat on the council and headed out."

Bang

"What in the blazes is that?"

"ROLUND."

"Luke do you feel this?"

"Dark side users."

"Rhondi stop banging on the do…" as a red Lightsaber came through the back of her head.

"I cut a way in over there." Pointed in the direction she had come in.

"Let's get up there will take them out the old fashion way, Shelley. Ben, you provide cover fire."

"Got it."

"Let's get into battle suites somehow I knew we'd need them. "

A minute later they were in there Battle suites designed specifically for Lightsaber fight. And were up on the cabinets well out of eye sight.

"Close off from the force."

"Yes, Master." They both chorused to Luke.

Just then they door blasted open.

"Really Ben another thermal Detonator." Over there suit comm.'s

"Hey it worked didn't?"

"I'll hit them from this side you on the other side, okay Shelley?"

"Got it."

"Now."

They jumped down and took them by surprise within a few seconds 3 were dead and another injured.

"Let's go the way Shelley cut through I sense 4 others."

"As do I."

"Ben stay behind us when we jump make sure you're above us."

"Yes Aunt Shelley, Master."

Pulling out her comm.

"Motor Hot fire, now."

Beep.

"You got here in an X-Wing?"

"Remember Master Skywalker you are not the only one that can fly."

"Of course, Master Harris."

"You too could be teenagers, again."

"Hey when you're old what else do you have to do?"

"Old, I'm younger then you Luke Skywalker."

"Okay, here we go Ben above us."

They ran into the room suddenly door were being opened, they were fighting each other. Then a stun grenade. Pretending to be unconscious as they fought each other Luke floated over where one girl was still alive. When she opened her door Luke grabbed her sword arm but a knife came out of nowhere and cut his face.

He knock her out. Shelley went over cut her hand open and dripped on her clothes under her collar. When Luke gave her a quizzical look.

"When she figures out the blood trail she'll remove yours not mine."

"MOM, DAD in coming." Shelley Luke and Ben were so started by what Ben said they pause for just a second before they were in action.

Only 1 Sith remand and she was injured suddenly Ben went flying backwards by a force shove from the women and Luke and Shelley were backing sword out and read should it come to that.

Suddenly the girl went fly back toward her Master. The lift came they stepped in and check everyone for injuries they were fine.

The lift got to the hanger bay.

"Okay Ben you go start The Shadow Shelley were riding the lift back up. And remember the girl we want alive."

Ben got off the lift. And the lift proceeded to go back up.

"Well Ben is probably feeling a little awkward right now."

"He shouldn't it was the first thing that came out of his mouth not because he sees me as his mother but because I was his Mother's Best Friend. And His Master."

"We will talk to him soon and put him at ease. This first."

"Yes, Master."

"Will you stop that we are the same rank, we built this Order together."

Just then the lift opened and for just a millisecond the Sith pause not expecting two Masters to one master and an apprentice.

And the fight started it went on till they were in the hanger bay Luke fought the Master and if Shelley was honest with herself she was teach the Sith girl defense instead of just killing her. Just then Ben shot missile at the Sith Medatation Speare named Ship it darkened the Sith's Goggles but not Shelley and Luke's, just then the Sith Master was in pieces. The girl knowing when she is out gunned saluted and flip backward out of sight.

"I have room for your ship in the hold so we can get out of here together if you like?"

"I would Master."

"Will you stop that?"

"Nope you are still the Grand Master, and I am but a Master thus you outrank me." She smiled at the look of exasperation on his face. "Do I need to get Motor out of his socket before I put the ship in, or after?"

"After, there is enough room to get him out after."

"Ben open the bay."

The bay opened.

"Motor take it in."

The X-Wing went into the bay; Settled down then a grapple came down and took him out.

"Alright come on you pain in the butt."

Beep indignantly.

"Yeah, yeah. In you go. Okay, I think both of you need to get cleaned up, eat and get into healing trances. I'll get us out of here."

"I have to agree, I think that is a good idea, if it hadn't of been for you we would have been in much worse shape."

"Maybe, but let's just get you fed and into bed."

"Can I apologize for the Mom thing earlier?"

Shelley and Luke shared a Look. Shelley smiled and put her hand on Ben's shoulder.

"Ben, listen I know it was instinct for you to say that, I was your mothers Best Friend, and your Master till your knighting. But I have been and always will be your Aunt, okay."

"Thank you, for understanding." Ben looked at his father. " I'm going to take a sonic shower." Luke nodded.

He took off down the Hall, into the refresher.

"Well that went better than I thought."

"Why don't you go take a sonic shower and I'll make dinner."

"Okay sounds good."

She watched as he went down the hall. Her True Love. The man she had loved for these past 35 years she never told for fear of destroying their friendship.
