ANSWER TO REVEIWS ON PREVIOUS CHAPTER (yay, I have 2 this time!)
Blaze- I finally have your OC in here :) thanks again for your continued support :)
Furyan Jedi 13- I'm glad you enjoyed :) as to the Jag/Tenel Ka, yes, I know it's obscure, but I have thought of pairing them since I was reading through Legacy of the Force. When I wrote my summery, this was intended to be one long story, not a series, so I got a bit ahead of my self on all those pairings :) oops!
Zekk was still mad when he and Jaina returned to the Jedi Temple.
"Master, how did it go?" Myka asked as he entered the large building.
"Terrible," he replied, and briefly filled her in on his and Jaina's meeting with Daala.
"Okay, I agree, terrible." Zekk so far liked his apprentice, even if he had only had her for a day. She seemed level-headed and logical. "What do you want me to do?" she asked.
"Go relax," he replied. She nodded and walked off. Zekk let himself into his quarters and flopped down on the bed. He had to find out what happened to Jag, but the kidnapper was good. The only evidence they had was the recording, and even then, that didn't give away any clues. There was a knock at the door, which he went to answer. It was Myka.
"Forget to mention something?" he asked.
"No, sir. There's just some people to see you." Great. As much as he wanted to reunite with friends, he was really in no frame of mind to chat.
"Who?"
"I don't know. They just said they wanted too see Jedi Zekk Jaunter, and that it was important."
Five minutes later, Zekk was in the reception area of the Jedi Temple. Two unfamiliar people looked up at him. One was a redheaded woman, and the other was a dark-haired man. They seemed to recognize him, even if he didn't recognize them. Creepy.
"Are you Jedi Knight Zekk Jaunter?" the dark-haired man said. Zekk was immediately more attentive. The man had a thick Ennthian accent.
"Indeed, I am. And who are you?" This time, the woman spoke up.
"We come representing your home world Ennth." She, like her comrade, had a think accent.
"I noticed. But who are you two?"
"My name is Avan Maire," the dark-headed one said.
"I am Blaze. You needn't know anymore," the redhead spoke.
"I am a sergeant in the Ennthian army, and Blaze here is a fighter pilot. We need you're help, Mr. Jaunter."
"As in what kind of help? Take a seat, by the way." They all sat. Avan took a breath.
"Ennth is out of control. Rebellion against the General supreme, mainly." On Ennth, the planet was led by the "General Supreme," who acted much like the GA's Chief-of-State. "The General Supreme is young, immature, and corrupt. He cares nothing for the well-being of the people, only for the cash that he uses to line his pockets. Now you may not realize this, but you are regarded as a hero there. Even a celebrity, depending on who you ask."
"So what do you want from me?" The two visitors glanced at each other.
"We want you to overthrow the current General Supreme and take his place."
~.~.~.~
Jaina, Myka, Jolvin and Zekk sat in Zekk's quarters.
"They want you to what!" Jaina asked.
"They want me to govern Ennth," he responded. "But what I've been thinking about is even crazier. Our government is obviously corrupt. So I take control of Ennth, and we make alliances with other systems not in the GAG, and talk you're uncle into moving the Jedi headquarters to the new government. We show that we're not to be toyed with, and get Jag back. Eventually, we may be able to overthrow the corrupt GAG."
"Master, isn't this sort of against the Jedi code?" Myka questioned.
"Not at all. This is not me trying to get revenge, and I'm not doing it for personal gain. I simply am trying to restore peace, which is the prime objective of the Jedi."
"I agree with your master, Myka. In a way, it's sort of our duty. I'm in one hundred percent. What do I do to help?" Jaina asked.
Zekk grinned. "Use you're connections. Start lining up systems to form treaties with, like Hapes and Mandelore. Avan and Blaze said they would back me on anything, so I know they will go along with this. Also, talk to you're uncle about this plan and see if you can get some old friends to do some spying for us."
"Ben and Tahiri could do the spying. Both are very good at sneaking around without getting caught."
"So we have a plan?" Zekk asked.
"We have a plan," Jaina responded with a smirk. She raised her glass of water. "To reunion and rebellion."
THIS CONCLUDES BOOK 1! STAY TUNED FOR THE SEQUEL! The title of book 2 is TBD, but I'm thinking about calling it New Rankings and New Beginnings. It should have considerably more romance in it, but also, more action packed! I am sorry it took so long to post this.
Rock on, Dudes and Dudettes! (BTW when I was driving away from the team of people I worked with in New Hampshire, I actually did yell that out the window! LOL)
