Chapter 12

A Disturbance in the Force

Coruscant

Jedi Archives

December 6, 1255

Early Afternoon

Link and Luke were in the archives again. They had been researching the many aspects of Time Travel for three days now. The Wookie, Lowbacca, had grown tired of constantly reading holograms and had gone to fixing the Falcon. Luke had Time Travel figured out mostly. All of a sudden he figured it all out!

"As Doc says 'Great Scott!' We could make a flux capacitor out of a hyperdrive!" Luke uttered in revelation.

Link raised his eyebrows.

"You really believe we could do that? Ha! If it was that easy I would have done it ages ago!" he scoffed.

Luke just rolled his eyes at the foolish hero from Hyrule.

"Well at least I don't travel around with a pesky fairy who tells me how to fight!" he retorted.

"Two can play at this game, Luke!" Link spat angrily as he ignited his lightsabers. "Bring it on fool!" Luke said as he too ignited his Lightsaber.

Link's eyes began to glisten the way they always did when he was fighting. All of a sudden Leia and her two kids came in.

"Luke! What are you doing? This is not the Jedi way!" Leia scolded.

Luke immediately grew serious and shut down his Lightsaber.

"I shouldn't have let myself give in to him! I am sorry you guys had to see that!" Luke apologized.

Link felt ashamed as well. So he too shut down his lightsabers.

"Sorry Princess Leia, I shouldn't have let myself give in to anger. Anger only leads to the dark side. I apologize." He said in all seriousness.

Leia walked up to her twin brother and put a comforting arm around his shoulder. "It's ok Luke; just beware of your emotions. If you don't keep them in check, you may turn to the Dark Side without knowing it." She advised her brother.

Luke nodded his head in agreement.

"Uncle Luke!" the kids greeted the Jedi Master. "Hello Jacen and Jaina! You remember Master Link? He is the Hero of Time from Hyrule. How about you go with him and he will tell you all sorts of stories of his adventures!" he said.

"Cool!" the twin said in unison with eyes glistening.

Link then ran out of the room with all the twins chasing him. Leia and Luke shared a heartfelt laugh.

Luke looked at Leia with a serious look in his eye.

"Leia, I sense a great disturbance in the Force! I don't know what it is but I sense a great evil in Coruscant." He said in a solemn voice.

This didn't bode well with his twin sister.

"You don't think it's Thrawn again or Sidious?" she asked in fear.

Luke shook his head on both counts.

"No I sense an evil I have never encountered before." He said in puzzlement. "Have you gone to Master Yoda with this crucial information?" Leia inquired. Luke shook his head.

"He has been to busy with other matters. I have tried to reach him in the Force but he is always in councils!" Luke said in exasperation.

"Well how about you meditate for a while? I'm sure an answer will come eventually." She said soothingly.

"I suppose you're right." Luke said wearily as he went to his apartment.
