Chapter Three
Disclaimer: See Chapter One
It's been a couple of Months, I know, I've been busy. Anyway, I want to thank you all for reading and being interested in my ideas. Now on with the Show.
A few minutes before First Meeting
As Kylo Ren drew near to the apartment, Jacen grew more and more agitated, and almost everyone else could feel it radiate off of him, his hand slowly reaching for his lightsaber. Someone called his name, "Jacen," he opened his eyes to realize that it was Luke who called his name.
"Yes, Uncle Luke?" He asked of the Jedi Master.
"Something is agitating you, what is it?" Luke asked.
"Do you sense that presence coming toward us? Jacen asked.
"Yes, I do…" Luke sat back in puzzlement.
Jacen heard the door lock click open and as quick as a flash, Jacen moved to the door, saber in hand. As the door opened, the green blade of his saber snapped into existence.
In the present
"You!" Jacen spit out, "What are you doing here?" He growled.
Kylo leaned away from the green blade, dropped his helmet, grabbed his own lightsaber, ignited it, and swatted Jacen's blade away from his face. Upon the sight of the red blade, everyone else grabbed their weapons, at one moment, there were eight lightsabers active: two green, two blue, a magenta, a violet, a purple, and a red. Jacen and Kylo locked blades. "You shouldn't be here, Ren!" Jacen yelled at Kylo.
"Who are you, and why do you have my presence?" Kylo asked of him.
"In many ways, you are me, but I am not you, Kylo Ren. You are my counterpart, a whiny, sloppy, untrained, Vader-obsessed version of myself. I am Jacen Solo, or Darth Caedus." To further his point about untrained, Jacen kicked Kylo's lightsaber out of his hand, and with another kick to the ribs, sent Kylo into a wall.
Crumpled against the wall, with Jacen's lightsaber near his throat, Kylo conceited the fight. "Shola." Jacen deactivated his lightsaber and summoned Kylo's to him.
"Even your hilt is as shoddy as the way you wield it." Jacen remarked as Kylo got up, grabbing his helmet. Jacen tossed the weapon back to Kylo. Kylo decided it was in his best interest to learn about where he was. "Threepio, fix our uninvited guest a plate."
"Yes, Master Jacen." Threepio responded.
Kylo took a seat at the end of the table, with everyone looking at him, Jacen sat back down next to him, Threepio placed a plate of food in front of Kylo, thanking the droid, Kylo started to eat.
Han asked, "So who are you kid?"
Swallowing the bite, he had just taken, and leaned back in the chair, crossing his arms. "I am Kylo Ren, or my former name is Ben Solo, your son." Leia fixed Han with a questioning glare. Han responded with his best 'I didn't do anything wrong face."
Jacen, seeing the confusion in his parents, said "He has the same blood as I do, Solo & Skywalker. He is almost a carbon copy of me. Keyword is 'almost'."
Luke asked him "Jacen, would you mind telling us exactly who this is?"
Jacen sighed, "Remember a few years ago, when almost everyone in the galaxy had felt as if a part of themselves was missing and we couldn't figure out why?"
Luke replied "Yeah?"
"Well, he is my piece. We are both sons of Han and Leia Solo, trained by our Uncle Luke in the ways of the Jedi, both of us turned to the Dark Side, and both of us have killed a family member." Mara stiffened at that.
"How was he able to access the apartment?" Leia asked.
"I believe that the card reader mistook his biochip for mine. Keep him there, I'm going to change." Jacen went to his room.
"Which family member did you kill?" Mara asked. Kylo looked straight at Han.
"Me?" Han asked.
"Yeah, then Uncle Chewie shot me in my side." Kylo replied. Chewie was confused as he had practically helped raise the Solo children. "Mom, I didn't expect you to have become a Jedi, thought you would have remained a politician, although the fact that you are related to someone that the galaxy reviles did end that career for you, didn't it?" Kylo said.
"The same someone that you are obsessed with." Jacen returned, garbed in his Sith attire. Everyone seemed to stiffen, "Relax, I'm just getting ready to leave."
Back to the previous conversation "Actually, I chose to become one after many years as a politician." Leia told him.
"Although you did tend to mix both politics and the Jedi way." Luke inputted.
"At your insistence," Leia retorted, "though I am glad I did, I did end up in a quite a few situations where I couldn't talk my way out."
"That you did." Luke stated.
"What kind of situations?" Kylo asked.
"I'll tell you all about it later," Jacen answered him, "but first we need to go to Korriban. The Council of Sith Lords will want to meet you."
"Will Grandfather be there?" Kylo asked.
"Yes." Jacen replied. 'Of course, he would ask that,' he thought. Grabbing Kylo by the scruff of his neck, he dragged him to the balcony where multiple speeders were parked, he shoved Kylo into his speeder, then turned to say goodbye to his family.
Hugging each of them, Jaina was last, who had said to him, "I have a really bad feeling about this whole thing."
"I sense it too, I fear that Ren's arrival is merely the beginning of something much bigger, possibly for the worse." Jacen told her.
"Just be careful as Caedus, dear brother, we do want you to return to us as Jacen, not as the monster." Jaina warned him.
"I'll be careful." Jacen assured her, before turning and hoping into the driver seat. They took off, heading for the landing platform that Jacen's shuttle docked on it.
As they pulled away from the building, Kylo asked, "So we are heading for Korriban?"
"Yes, the ancient home-world and tomb world of the Sith Orders, every Sith Lord that came after Korriban was abandoned should make a pilgrimage to the world, although I never got a chance to, when I was a Sith" Jacen said.
"Huh, I thought the Sith homeworld was Moraband." Kylo said.
"Yes, it is known by that name as well, as of around the time of the Clone Wars." Jacen said.
"This set of universes is confusing," Kylo said.
Jacen snorted, "You don't know the half of it. I'll start to fill you in when we are in hyperspace." They reached the landing pad, boarded the shuttle and left for Korriban.
Next time: The Council of Sith Lords
Well, it's finally happened, the two timelines have met and the chaos is only beginning. (Evil laugh). Here's a challenge for you guys: Figure out, who has what lightsaber color, three are easy, the others will require a little thinking (or Wookiepedia search but where is the fun in that.) A cookie to the one who gets them all right, BTW I could have made Leia's a lot harder, because she has had multiple colors, or would it be easier due to process of elimination, I dunno.
I also want to thank Jedi Master Misty for asking for reasoning behind things I do, I like the discussions we have.
Also, I am working on a Rebels story if anyone wants to check it out. Its called: A Second Chance at Family.
The Emperor of the Multiverse is out, Peace.
