I was sitting in my bunk,trying to take a nap,when I heard a scream outside.I ran out my room and saw Lusa,the female Chironian,dead on the floor.I crotches down and took note of the trample wounds and the tracks leading into the forest.Voxyn.Ever since I killed the first spotted one on Nal Hutta,they have been popping up everywhere,and killing a high amount of Jedi.I turned on my comms,"Hello everybody?Get here.We have a dead Jedi."

A few minutes later,Raynar Thul was sobbing over Lusa's body and ally eh other Jedi kids were sobbing their hearts out.Honestly,I don' get what is so sad,but I will leave them to there grief.I Saw Cilghal walk up to the crowd and I walked up to her."Another Voxyn attack," I said,"More dead."Sue nodded,"A tragedy."I had my helmets off,and I hoped nobody noticed my roll my eyes when she said that.Tenel Ka say me,but she merely said,"This is a loss of life,but so loss of assets as well."I nodded in approval,"At least your head is still intact."I walked over the sobbing crowd,where Cilghal just finished apologizing for not figuring this out.Raynar muttered something about trying harder,and Lowbacca roared,saying that she is trying the best she can.Anakin took a deep breath,"This must stop.We must find a way to stop the Voxyn's."Jacen suddenly stepped up,"Beware that thought Anakin.That leads to anger,and anger leads to the:.."I saw Anakin get mad,so I clamped my hand over Jacen's mouth,which is kinder than knocking him out.Zekk spoke this time,"We don't know where the Voxyn are.And we will need to kill every single one.I saw Tahiri grip Anakin's arm tighter,and I absently ruffled both of there hair.Cilghal suddenly looked up,"Actually I can help with that.From the Voxyn samples I realized that they have the same DNA,which means.."Tahiri finished the sentence,"They were cloned."I removed my hand from Jacen's mouth,and he spoke,"But we still don't know where they are.I smiled,"I can help with that."Raynar was about to pick up Lusa's body,but I marched forward,"Leave the body.And anybody with a weak stomach should go."Raynar left,and nobody else did.I weak on one knee,and shook me head,"I am assuming Luke didn't have investigation and forensic classes in his academy?"Anakin shook his head,"No.He just said,'Trust the force.'"I muttered,"Jedi arrogance," but under my breath.I put a hand on the trample marks."Alright then I will have a forensic class of my own.Everybody huddle around."Nobody but Anakin,Tahiri,and Tenel Ka did.I noticed that,and pointed at the trample marks."See those marks?Those have the same basic structure of a four legged mammal.The footprints,however,are the closest to matching a Vornskr.It must be cloned with another animal."Tshiri looked up,"The Fero Xyn!It must be cloned from that."Anakin blinked,"Okay.Whatever you say,Tahiri."I pulled out my blaster,"Alright,don't mob me when I do this."I leaned Luss's neck to see the teeth logged in there,and raised my blaster.Zekk and Jacen knew what I was about to do, it they couldn't stop me in time.I chipped of Lusa's head and held out the tooth I extracted,"Definitely Vornskr."Cilghal had her mouth hanging open,"I have been working on this case for a week,and you just solve this in five minutes?"I smiled,but Jacen walked right up to me,"You shouldn't have cut off Lusa's head.That was barbaric."I scoffed,but Anakin stepped up,"The dead don't need their heads.And Lusa would be happy her death brought something to us:"I stepped between Jacen and Anakin,"No brawling like you mongrels usually do.I don't want to give Han Jacen's body if things get ugly."I smirked at Jacen's expression,and Tahiri punched me in the shoulder,"Good work,Dad."I put in my helmet and groaned,"Please don't call me that,Tahiri."Tahiri smiled and she grabbed Anakin's hand.They walked back to the base,and I followed them.

I was sleeping when I heard a knock on the door.I groaned and opened the door to see Anakin and Tahiri standing there.I glanced at them,"What do you want?I remember last time you guys did something like this.."Anakin smiled,"Don't worry.There is a meeting for Jedi in thirty minutes."I rolled my eyes,"Good thing I am not a Jedi."Tahiri then started talking,"They invited you too.And put some cloth on,Dad." I grimaced,"Don't call me that!"I went in my room to put my armor on,and we went to the meeting together.When we got the meeting I was really bored.We all had to discuss how I figured out the whole Voxyn problem,and they seemed to think I was joking when I suggested a forensic class in the academy.Then Luke spoke,"We must act swiftly to protect the Jedi.We must kill the Voxyn Queen."Everybody nodded,and Mara pulled out a datapad,"The Voxyn Queen is most likely located on the biggest ship near Myrkr,the Baanu Rass."I nodded in approval,"Her logic is sound.I believe we need a group of Jedi to infiltrate the ship,kill the Queen,and get the hell out of there."Lando smiled his famous smile,"The Vong don't know me.I can drop the Jedi off there and pretend like I just care about the refugee ship."Leia nodded in approval,"And who is going to go on the strike team."I winced,knowing how Han will react to the answer,and Anakin answered the question,"It can't be anybody well known.It has to be people that the Vong have never heard of,or very little of."I took off my helmet,"The galaxy is a messed up place with kids have to be the one to save the galaxy."Han's eyes widened,"Wait a second.."Anakin talked over him,"...propose a strike force of Jedi academy students.With me as the leader."I shook my head,"You are forgetting one thing kid.Me.I am coming."Anakin frowned,"Don't the Vong know you though)"I shook my head,"No one even m owe I am alive except for you guys and a select few on Mandalore.And I haven't done anything in the ward except kill Shadeo,and the Vong think Corran did it."Anakin nodded then suddenly Han stood up,"Luke what is taking so long?Tell them this is a stupid idea,and that we will find another way."I rubbed my eyes as I mentally prepared myself for a shouting match.However,Anakin calmly deranged himself from Tahiri and spoke up,"Come on Dad.Those are chance to make a difference in the world,just like you,Mom,and Uncle Luke did."He looked like he was going to argue more,but Lando put a hand on his arm and Leia glared at him until he sat down.Then of course Jacen had to open his big mouth.Jacen looked around,"Do we have to kill the Voxyn Queen?I mean it has done nothing wrong."Tahiri glared at him,"Sometimes I wonder whose side you are really on."Then Zekk stepped forward,"You know he is right.Killing innocent creatures..."

"Is the way of the Dark Side?"

Everybody stared at me and I snapped.I actually lost it."That is the funny thing about Jedi," I said."You care so much about 'innocent beings',but you really don't.Did any Jedi care about Clone Troopers,who we the churned out and killed because the Jedi thought we were disposable?Is that caring?No it is not.You Jedi only care about specific people,and care too much about your public rep and politics to do anything.Look at you guys,all huddled up in a little room,to scared about political backlash and being 'corrupted by the Dark Side' do stop a fucking alien invasion!You Jedi only care about your genes and your morale high ground.And when you have cowards like Jacen you just your ranks,and you start acting proud of them and calling them hero's,that is why the Jedi will fall,every single time.Mark my words,some one important to Master Skywalker will die soon,and that is when he will shape up and lead.We doesn't care about if anybody else dies,but when his family and friends start dying,he will take action."I took a deep breath and glanced around the room.Luke's face was calm,but he was obviously fuming.Han,Leia,and Lando looked to shocked to feel anything.Mara just looked amused.Jacen was beat red and mad,and Jaina looked surprised.I started talking again,"This is why Han Solo is better than most of you people.He will protect his family,but in the end,I trust him to make the right choice.He always does,but he always self persevere as well.He put those traits in his kids Anakin and Jaina.I don't know where Jacen got his coward genes.If we had more people like Han,Anakin,Jaina,Tahiri,Kyp,and Mara,we will be winning this war.I will continue to fight for the Republic,but not because I think the Jedi are great the the Republic is good.I do it because no kid should grow up and fight,with the world counting on him.I do this because the Vong are bad,and nobody should suffer like I had."I pulled out one of my knifes from my belt and slammed it into the table,"The Sith have more honor than the Jedi,in most ways.I am done.I am not going to anymore meetings just to listen to cowardly Jedi or corrupt politicians.I just do the missions,and strike on my own.If you people get your act together,and start acting like Anakin and Tahiri,then I will join you."I walked out of the meeting and closed the door.

I was in the training room,destroying a bunch of elite droids with relative ease,when I heard somebody clear their throat.I turned around and saw Han there,looking sort of awkward.I put an end to the training and walked over to Han and took off my helmet."What's the verdict?"Han rubbed his neck,"Anakin wants you to be with the group for mission prep.I mean,if you are still in..."I nodded."I am still in.For the most part I like the he young Jedi kids."Han nodded,and I sighed,"Listen,sorry for losing my cool in the meeting.I got mad because your son is a coward."I expected him to defend Jacen,but he nodded,"When you left,we had a vote to whenever we had to kill the Queen or not.We agreed to kill it because so broke the tie."I nodded,"I knew you would make the right choice."Han sighed,"It doesn't feel right.Anyway,I was wondering if you could do me a favor."

"Depends on what it is."

"I need you to protect my kids.I don't want one of my kids to die so soon after Chewbacca dies."I nodded,"I will make no promises,but I will try my best."I walked to where the meeting was,and was greeted by Lando and a droid.I pointed at the droid,"What is that thing?"Lando smiled,"This,my friend,is the new protected of the galaxy!Say hello to VVH-1A!"I walked past them and sat next to Anakin and Tahiri.Anakin smiled at me,"Thank you for coming Strill.Try to avoid Jacen."Tahiri snorted and gripped Anakin's arm,"Please do.No one wants to hear Jacen start pontificating again."The VVH droid started walking around started asking the members of the strike team(Raynar Thul,Tenel Ka,Anakin Solo,Jacen Solo,Jaina Solo,Tahiri Velia,Alema,Ulaha,Eryl,Bela,Krasov,Tesar,Ganner,Zekk,Lowbacca,and Jorvan) about the plan.I admit,the plan was pretty good for a bunch of teenagers.Than Jacen stood up,and I quickly put in my helmet so nobody could see that I wanted to punch Jacen is the nose.He looked at Anakin,"I still think killing the Queen is a bad idea.And launching an aggressive attack is the way of the Dark Side."I put a hand on Tahiri's shoulder to tell her to let everybody else yell at each other.Tenel Ka,Jacen,and Zekk were arguing against killing the Queen,and Alema lead the charge for killing the Queen.Anakin glanced at me,then Lando,then realized that we were seeing what he was going to do.He gripped Tahiri's hand,released it,then stood up,"Everybody shut up!That is an order!"Everybody was stunned into silence and Anakin started talking again,"I am the leader here.So we do things my way,or else I kick you off the team,got that?"He glared at Jacen,and Ganner smiled,"Alright we got that over with.Lets go over the plan again."

We were all sitting on Lando's ship,waiting for us to be "captured" by the Vong.We were served some food and started eating,but I was the only one eating.I rose my eyebrow at everybody,"You guys going to eat your food?Back in my day,this was a feast."Anakin snorted,"This little thing?This can feed us for breakfast and that was it.Tahiri rolled her eyes,"Don't get him started.He is probably going to make a speech about how he rescued a whole army with nothing but a blaster and some rope."Everybody else was silent,so I talked to people,trying to understand everybody's life and there adventures they had.Zekk was in the middle of telling us about his time in the Shadow Academy when suddenly an explosion rocked the side of the door.My step was to fight back,but to not fight to much.When the Vong soliders came,none of us had any weapons,but I had my armor on.I rammed my helmet on,and punched a Vong soldier in the face.Another one jumped me form behind,but I flipped him over my back and stepped on his chest.I threw another Vong solider into the wall to reveal a bunch of blasters,which Alema when grabbed one.However,it shocked her,and then when Raynar went to check on her,knocked him unconscious.I was sweeper off my feet,but I rolled backwards and was back to back with Ganner.I stage whispered to him,"Is this part of the plan?"He spoke in an equally low voice,"No.Just follow Anakin's lead."Anakin looked like he got captured on purpose,so I got ready to take a pounding.Then a Vong solider took out a coufee and was about to stab Ulaha.I stepped forward and intercept the boss with my body,trusting my armor to deflect the blow.Somehow the Vong hit the chunk of my armor between my chest and shoulder plate,stabbing the coufee deep in my shoulder.I grunted in pain and was about to use the coufee to fight,but a Vong grabbed Tahiri and pulled an amphistaff near her throat."Drop the coufee and surrender," he snarled,"or else the infidel dies!"I dropped the coufee and put my hands up,and the commander walked up to Ganner,"Jedi and a bodyguard.You will tell us where the Jedi base is,then you will be gloriously sacrificed as offerings to Yun-Yuuzhan!"At least they bought the part about Ganner being the team leader,and not Anakin.The commander waved over Lando,"Your refugees will be safe.I will put in good word to Tsavong Lah."Lando nodded,"Thank you."He walked away,and the Commander spoke in Vuuzhon Vong,not knowing me and Tahiri knew the language,"Get ready to transport them to the Baanu Rass.Tell the shaper see have more food for the Voxyn Queen."I caught Tahiri's eyes.and I gave a discreet wink at her.All according to plan.

I felt somebody kick me in my wound on my shoulder,and I glanced at the person.The Vong commander,Duman Yaght,snarled at me,"Wale up infidel!Your friends are getting tortured,can you not hear there screams?Do you even care?"I shrugged,"No not really."He snarled and left.The breaking session weee made so that people can see their friends in pain,so you have to find a way to ignore it.Ulaha was tortured the most,with Tahiri second and Jorvan third.They only put me in once bur when it was obviously I wasn't going to break they let me sit there.Finally Ulaha said there was a Jedi base and that it was in the inner core,and the torturer let her go.She looked at Ulaha,"Pick the next person to go."Anakin nodded at me,and I raised my hand,"I will go.I love being tortured."Ulaha pointed at me,and the torturer waved me along.They deactivated my bonds,and I was lates on the good floor.They had a voxyn next to me,and the voxyn started to scream its ultrasonic screams at me.They took my armor,so I was just in a black jumpsuit.The pain wasn't bad,so I didn't make any reaction for thirty minutes.The torturer clicked her tongue in grudging admiration,"You handily pain well.Something else is in order."I scoffed,"No nerf strips for me?It is okay,I like Vong food too."She ignored me and latched me up in a tree.She then grabbed a ysalamiri and put it on my neck.The Voxyn started to trash around wildly,and the torturer smiled cruelty."The Voxyn go crazy near ysalamiri.We don't know why.They have been seen to stop at nothing to get them.Killing the handler,even."I was only chained by my legs,no doubt so that the Vong can watch me run around and laugh at me before I die.I caught Anakin and Tahiri's panicked eyes,but I mouthed,"I got this" to them.The torturer frowned,"Very well."I smiled sheepishly,"Rest in pieces."The Voxyn's were let out of their chains and were barreling full force at me.I waited for the last second before jumping out the way and sprang on its back.As I expected,it tried to use its tail to impale me,but I rolled of his back and grabbed the tail.I stabbed him in the back with it ,penetrating its spine.The Voxyn fell on the floor,and I ripped the barb of its tail.I cut the chain and smiled at the Vong,"Told you.You guys will rest in pieces."One Vong solider charged me but a blocked his strike with my barb and kneed him in the stomach.He stumbled a step and I lunged forward to stab him in the neck with the barb.I kicked him away and used my foot to kick the amphistaff up and posing it in a attack stance.I never fought with a amphistaff,but it can't be to different than a staff.I blocked a Vong slash at my head and punched him in the nose.I lunged forward and stabbed him in the stomach.The amount of movement in my shoulders is killing my wound,but I here my teeth and felt with it.The two remaining guards came at me,and I put my staff in a defensive stance.One soldier went high and the other went low.I blocked the low strike and ducked the high one,then kicked a solider in the knee.It made a good crack and he fell with a grunt.The solider tried to hit me at my side which I easily blocked.Then his amphistaff went rigged and nearly bit me in the stomach.I dropped my amphistaff and grabbed the open head of the warrior's amphistaff.Using my ridiculous strength,I tore the staff in half,and knocked the solider to the ground.I tied a knot around his neck with the snake bits,and used a hanging bar to hang him.I snapped the Vong with the broken knees neck,and grabbed his thud bug.I threw it at the torturer and it chopped off her head.I glanced at the opened mouth Jedi kids,but suddenly I was tackled to the ground.I tried to fight back,but two Vong solider were holding down each of my limbs.Duman Yaght was a towering rage,"Who did this?You!"I gave a sheepish smile,"The idiot torturer let the Voxyn go and it killed everybody.It tried to kick me but I killed it."Yaght nodded,then punched me in the nose.I heard my nose crack as it broke.Yaght was screaming at my face,"Your explanation is sound,expert for the fact that Voxyn don't stab Vuuzhon Vong with amphistaff!"

"Well since the Vong like dying so much,I thought I would help them do that with a good fight."

Yaght kicked me in the ribs and punched me in the jaw.My jaw dislocated and my ribs cracked.I didn't flinch from the pain,and Yaght glared at me,"Talk one more time and I cut your tongue out!"A few response popped up in my head,but I stayed silent.Yaght started to speak in Vuuzhon Vong," increase the speed.And no more torture.We can't risk another incident."I glanced at Tahiri,and I guess Tahir relayed that information to Anakin,and Anakin must have relayed what Yaght said to his siblings.Tahiri noticed,"Good job,Dad."I glared at her and when the Vong started to tie me up again,Anakin nodded in approval.Jacen was staring at Anakin in horror,though why is beyond me.

When we arrived on a ship to transfer us to the Baanu Rass,the whole group was walking to the command center,with me,Anakin and Jacen at the helm.Suddenly Anakin yelled,"Now!"A part of the wall blew up to reveal a tiny ship.and two VVH droids.There were only four guards around,and I reacted quickly and grabbed an amphistaff.I stabbed one guard and threw the other one into the amphistaff.The two VVH droids already shot the other two guards and were passing out are weapons.I quickly started attaching the Beskar plates to my body when Eryl picked up my lightsaber and ignited it.She looked around,"Whose is this?"I snatched it from her hands,"Mine."She frowned,"How did you get it."I jammed my helmet on,"A Sith gave it to me."I left her speechless as I searched the through the pile of weapons and found my gun,two tiny Beskar knifes,and a bunch of grenades.I was searching anxiously for my belt and suddenly Anakin walked up to me,"Here you go."I nearly sighed with relief,"Thank you,Anakin."Jaina faced the group,"All right,all we need to do is to find Ganner."Jacen snorted,"His head is so big we can probably find it with our eyes closed."Tenel Ka snorted and everybody else rolled their eyes.Zekk closed his eyes,"They are hiding him in some other part of the ship."I twinkle my fingers,"Can't you guys just locates him thought the force?Mystic Mob and all that?"Lowbacca roared.I don't know Shyriiwook,but my helmet translated it into,"That is not a bad idea.But we better start moving."Ulaha grunted in pain,"The sooner we get out of here,the better."Tahiri pointed behind us,"Ganner's presence is behind us somewhere."Anakin clipped his lightsaber to his belt,"I think I can track e on!"Raynar shrugged,"Better than standing here,let's bust some heads!"I shook my head,"We should leave some people behind to guard the ship."Anakin nodded,"That is a good idea.Lowbacca,Eryl,Jaina,Raynar.Jorvan,Zekk,and Tenel Ka will stay here.Me,Strill,Jacen,Alema,and Tahiri will find and free Ganner."Alema smiled flirtingly,"I always can count on you Anakin.I need to kill some Vong."Tahiri stepped forward like she was about to slap her,but I put a hand on her shoulder."You are angry,good.Don't let that anger become recklessness."He lecku curled in anger,but Tahiri spoke up,"Let's just get moving."

We were all kneeing in from a vantage point,while Anakin tried to sense the amount of Vong soliders there are.I talked Tahiri,"You know you can probably learn Anakin's Vongsense."Tahiri nodded,"I know.That is what we try to do during are meditation sessions.I scratched my helmet in surprise,"You guys actually meditate during those?"Tahiri smiled,"I to about 75 percent of it is...you know."Jacen's face was red,no doubt from hearing Tahiri's side of the conversation via the force.Anakin turned around,but his face was beat red as well.Alema glanced around at everybody's face,"Was there a random flare of spice or something?You guys all look like you got grazed by fire."I snorted,"I don't!"

"That is because you have a helmet."

Anakin put a hand on his head,"Alright enough.There is only about five guards around Ganner.However,there is a strike team that is planning to attack us if we get too close to Ganner."Jacen frowned,"What are we going to do?Sacrifice Ganner to prevent a possible complication in are mission,or save him?"Anakin didn't hesitate,"We have to get the strike team.We can send the VVH droids to help Ganner."Jacen stood up and I glanced at Tahiri.Tahiri mouthed,"You or me?"I pointed at me,and she nodded.Jacen was talking,"...sacrificing others for the mission.When will to stop?You made Strill go on a rampage with at could have killed him!"Anakin looked surprised,"Send Strill on a rampage?That whole thing was his idea!"Jacen's mouth was hanging open and I stepped forward,"Jacen,you are not the leader here.You can't just speak out when you feel like it.Just shut up and is what you are told,or else I am shoving you out the airlock."Jacen was stammering,"But..But."Tahiri sighed,"Save it Jacen.Go to the back of the line.In fact,go back to the ship."Alema smiled at us as a thank you,than turned to the VVH droids,"Go rescue Ganner."I stood up,"The strike team will not expect us.Let me throw in a frag grenades in there,and then you guys can charge in."Everybody nodded,and then I jumped down behind the Vong strike team."Hey ugly,"I screamed at them,"you guys have bad breath!"They turned around,and I threw the frag grenades at them.It blew up,and five out of the ten Vong died.Everybody else dropped down,and while they were engaged in hand to hand,I just fired at them.They were dead before they even knew what was happening.Anakin smiled,"Good work,everybody.Lets get Ganner."

Ganner was already rescued by the VVH droids,and we started going on the tiny ship to transfer us to the Baanu Rass.I was with the three Barabel siblings,watching them goof around with a Voxyn.I cleared my throat,"Why don't you just kill the thing?"Tesar smiled,"Because that is no fun."Krasov flicked her tail,"Don't lose your tail."All of them started laughing,so I assume that was a joke.Then the Voxyn escaped the prison and lunged at Bela.I quickly pulled out my blaster and shot the Voxyn clean through the head.Bela hissed,"Bela has learned her lesson."Then Ganner walked in,"What the heck was all the noise about?"I took off my helmet and put on an innocent smile,"Nothing.We were just discussing Barabel food."Ganner didn't look convinced,"Okay.Whatever you say.Anakin wants everybody at the helm now."Anakin gave everybody directions on battle stations until,me,Tahiri,Alema,Jaina,Tekl,and Anakin were at the helm.Jaina was taking to Anakin,"Thank you for knocking some sense into Jacen.I am his twin and even he is starting to annoy me."Anakin snorted,"Thank Strill for that.If I didn't know any better,I'd say that Jacen is scared of him."Alema smirked,"Who wouldn't be?He is so big and scary."Tahiri snorted,"I don't know what makes him so scary.He is a big softy."Tekl spoke in her low voice,"Well,he is your dad.."I cleared my throat,"Sorry to interrupt the Respect Strill Thread,but don't we have a job to do?"Everybody was staring at me open mouthed,before Alema spoke,"How did you get here?"I smiled,"The front door.You guys were too engrossed with your conversation to notice me.Suddenly Anakin gasped and stumbled backwards.I rose my eyebrow at him,"What's wrong kid?"Anakin shook his head,"Just...Everybody leave expect for Strill and Tahiri."When everybody left,Tahiri wrapped an arm around Anakin and kissed him,"You alright?"Anakin started pacing around,"I sensed Jedi on the other side of the Baanu Rass.I want to save them,but that will delay and make are mission harder."Tahiri nodded,"Your Anakin Solo.You will figure it out."I put my helmet on,"Anakin.I say leave them.I know it sounds harsh,but they could be Dark Jedi.Not to mention we have a mission to complete."Anakin nodded,"I know.It is just that Uncle Luke says to look after are own.And they could be my people I know.I don't want there blood on my hands."I wanted to argue more,but I nodded,"Your the leader here."Suddenly Ganner ran in the bridge,"Damn it!Anakin,the Vong have noticed us!They are getting ready to blow us to bits."Suddenly Ulaha materialized next to me,"Give me the controls of the ship.Me and the VVH droids will distract them.The rest of you go to the escape pods."Anakin nodded,and with a few blinks,I am on the team's comms."Everybody get to an escape pod.We are abandoning ship."When everybody has left the bridge I turned to Ulaha."See you in the next life,kid."She nodded in grave understanding,and I ran into the escape pod with Tahiri,Anakin,Zekk,and Eryl.

When we all regrouped after the ship crashed,I motioned with my hands,"Come guys.Lets get moving.We have to make Ulaha'a sacrifice worth it."Anakin nodded,"He is right.Me,Alema,and Strill will save the Jedi.The rest of you guys rest and scout for another way to get to the Voxyn Queen's ground."Zekk frowned,"Something about there force presence is familiar."Alema shrugged,"Anything to kill more Vong.Lets go!"Alema was out first,and I was about to follow.At the corner of my eyes,I saw Tahiri grab Anakin and whisper in his ear.I couldn't hear them,but I could lip read like a pro.Tahiri was saying,"Your not being overprotective,our you?"Anakin responded,"I am trying.But so don't want you to die."Tahiri snorted,"I don't want you to die ever."Anakin kissed her;"Don't worry.I won't die."When I got to the prisoners,I saw one nightsister and a human male,in a cage.There was only three Vong soliders and one shaper.Before I could suggest a plan,Alema charged right in,and me and Anakin were forced to do so as well.I took on one Vong warrior,and we tried to impose me with a stab.I ducked under the stab,and shot his kneecap.As he fell,I used my gun to stab him in the stomach,before decapitating him with my lightsaber.The shaper back up near the cage,then suddenly I saw a purple force net surrounding the shaper.I saw Alema still fighting,and Anakin was right next to me.He rose and eyebrow,"What is that?"I winced,glad my helmet disguised the expression,"A Force net.It will cut flesh.If she does what I think she will,it is going to be a mess."The net start it to envelope around the shaper,and it cut her into square cubes of flesh.Anakin was white faced and trembling,"That was a horrible spectacle."Alema,on the other hand.was talking to the incage nightsister,"That is a beautiful skill.May you teach me it?"I scoffed,"It is a horrible move.A sloppy way of killing somebody,even when done well.One of the few force powers I classify as Dark Side."Anakin took a deep breath,"Should we free them?"I shook my head,"I say kill them."The nightsister smiled,"You Jedi won't do that,will you?"I scoffed,"I am no Jedi."Anakin shook his head,"I say we tie them up as prisoners,and vote on what to do with them."I nodded,"Sounds like a plan."

When we got back to the group,I made a gesture with my hands,"We can do this while we keep moving.It won't take the Vong long to figure out broke out these two."Jaina frowned at Anakin,"You good?You are looking a bit pale."Anakin nodded,"I am fine."Alema had the two prisoners in cuffs and threw them on the ground,"They are obviously Sith."Zekk's eyes widened,"Welk and Lomi!?I thought you died!"The nightsister,Lomi,eyes widened,"Zekk!You were are darkest knight!"Welk sneered,but before we could say anything I put a hand on his mouth,"Okay,this is all nice and stuff.Lets vote on what to do."Anakin shrugged,"I say kill them."Jacen frowned,"Do we have to kill them?We can always leave them for the Vong."Jaina actually started laughing,"And is that any better."I ducked under a hanging scaffold,"Watch your head."Slowly the votes came in.Tahiri,Anakin,Jaina,Besa,Krasov,Tesar,Raynar,Eryl,and me said kill them.On the other hand,Tekl,Jacen,Tenel Ka,Jorvan,and Lowbacca said leave them as prisoners.I counted on my hands,"Well,I guess we kill them."I kicked Lomi's knee;and pulled out my gun to slit her throat,while suddenly Well stepped up,"Wait a second!We have information you need!"I glanced at him,"You have ten seconds."Welk was hastily stammering,"Th-there is a quicker and less dangerous way to get to the Voxyn Queen.If you go through the hunting grounds,there is less patrols and is just safer in general."I looked at Anakin,and he spoke,"Alright,you got a reprieve."I put my blade away from Lomi's neck,"If this is a trick,I will gut you and feed you to the strill's on Mandalore."Lomi smiled,"I knew you would see reason.There is an entrance right there."We were going to the entrance,when Anakin walked up to me."Strill," he said,"I am sorry I didn't listen to you about them."I put a hand on his shoulder,"Anakin,it is alright.You should not be in this situation anyway.No one,especially not a kid,should have to deal with the stuff you have.Do this for you and Tahiri's kids."I quickly walked away while Anakin and Tahiri,who was right behind me,faced grew red.

As we went on the mission,I felt like days went by,and I think they did.Overall.the mission was going well,with the short cut told to us by Welk and Lomi being correct.The only injured were Lowbacca and Jorvan,who had been bitten by bugs and irritated flesh.Then the turning point.We were walking when suddenly we went into a big open room.And in front of us where Nom Anor and a squad of Vong warriors.I cursed and started firing with my blaster,trying to injure some before they got out here.On of them threw a thud bug and Eryl,and being right next to her,I tackled her out the way.The Thud bug hit flesh in my arm,but avoided severing any tendons.I helped Eryl up,and went hand to hand with a Vong warrior.Out of the corner of my eye,I saw Tekl drag away the body of Jorvan,who's chest was ripped in half.I stabbed the Vong I was fighting in the neck,and Anakin made a gesture with his hands,"Everybody retreat!Go through the Voxyn Tunnels!"Suddenly I saw Jaina being trapped by the dark sticky gel,and she screamed,"Anakin!Help!"Anakin cursed and before I could warn him,he ran there and took out the two Vong warriors by surprise,and then force threw Jaina out of the gel.Then,when he was running back to us,the gel made him fall,and a amphistaff stabbed him.I cursed,ran over to him,picked him up,and ran back to the group.Anakin was walking with a lot of pain,"I am fine.Don't worry.."Tahiri was next to him,"Let me see e on Anakin."Anakin shook his head,"It is into a scratch."Me and Tekl exchanged a glance,and I grabbed Anakin to hold him still while Tekl ripped out the amphistaff.I pulled out an antibacterial and poison drug,and stabbed the syringe in his neck.Tesar looked at Anakin,"Thiss one is in pain.Let thiss one help."Tesar picked him up,and slung him over his shoulders while me and Tekl operated on him.I let Tekl stick up the wound,and I gave everybody my diagnosis,"The wound could have been worse.Missed his kidney's by a few inches.The wound is not a fatal one,but if he doesn't get medical treatment soon,he will die?"I kept my voice impassive,and nobody seemed to notice how I actually felt except for Tahiri,who glanced at me slightly.Worry,it is a strange emotion.Lomi sighed,"I know this is all sad,but can we get moving?"Zekk whirled around,"Now you little..."I put a hand on his shoulder,"That is not helping Zekk.Save it for the Vong."I saw Jaina go up to Anakin,and saw something in hushed tones.Ganner made a poor attempt to smile,"I guess I am team leader know."Jacen glared at him,but I understood what he was trying to do,and nodded appreciatively.Lowbacca roared."We should really go."Raynar nodded,and we all went on our not very merry way.

We went through are living hell,and things were falling apart.Bela and Krasov were killed,and Raynar was badly injured and in pain from Voxyn poison.We went to a dock,and Eryl gasped,"There is a ship!I can feel it!"Lomi smiled,"Let's get I out of here then."Jaina shook her head,"We still have to kill the Voxyn Queen."Tesar was still holding Anakin,and Anakin conceived Tesar to drop him,"She is right.Lowbacca,watch the ship.Put Raynar in it to heal.Everybody rest,we leave soon."Tahiri knelt down beside Anakin and whispered in hush tones,before they walked away.Eryl wiped a tear from her eye,"Is Raynar going to be okay?"I took off my helmet for the first time in days,"Honest answer?No."Eryl nodded,"I-I am going for a walk."I saw her walk away.Poor kid.Jacen and Jaina were taking to Anakin and Tahiri,as they were going to scout the area.I put my helmet back on,and drifted fast asleep.I woke up at the sound of an engine roaring.I quickly opened my eyes,and saw Lowbacca unconscious on the floor,and our ship flying away. Everybody ran over to me.Anakin cursed,"They are about to leave with at ship!"I started to pull out my anti-armor attachments while Zekk cursed,"We should have just killed them."I snarled,"If we aren't going home,nobody is."I glanced around at everybody,who are beginning to piece everything together."I am going to blow that ship to Kingdom Kong.Any objections?"Eryl looked hesitant,no doubt due to Raynar being there,but she didn't speak up.I took aim with my gun,and fired.The anti-armor round hit the back of the ship just as it ejected into hyperspace.I saw the ship and the anti-armor round disappear into hyperspace,and I took off my anti-armor attachment.Eryl started to cry,and Tenel Ka sighed,"That was an unfortunate turn of events."Tesar hissed,"Thiss one agreesss."Jaina suddenly shot her head up,"This is a waste of time.The Voxyn Queen is being moved soon.We have to strike know."Jacen nodded,"She is right."Anakin stood up,and winced.Tahiri glanced at him,"Are you going to be okay."Anakin smiled,a splitting replica of Han Solo,"Of course I am.It is just a scratch."We ran to where The Voxyn Queen was,and she was the only Voxyn,surrounded by Nom Anor,Vergere,and about fifty Vong warriors.We jumped in the fray,and we were all trying to go to kill the Voxyn Queen.Suddenly,Tesar stumbled backwards,and I saw a Thud bug sticking out of his shoulder.Anakin cursed and picked up Tesar's body and gave it to Tekl,"Take him...and go.I will hold them off."Tahiri glanced at him,"Are you serious.I am not leaving you!"

"Just go,"Anakin snapped,then before I could hear anything else,I was forced to defend myself against three Vong warriors.I shot one in the head,before ducking under a strike from a Vong warrior.I stabbed the other Vong in the gut,before chopping off the other Vong's head with my lightsaber.I turned around and saw everybody running back,except for Jacen and Ganner,who were on a separate strike team to kill the Queen.I looked around,"Where is Anakin?"Alema pointed toward the fighting,"Saving Jaina."I grunted,"Damn that kid!He is going to die."Tahiri grabbed my arm,"Please don't say that."I noticed she was crying,and I brushed her tears from her eye.Suddenly,the world stopped moving and took a blueish tint.I glanced around at the frozen world,"What the heck?"Suddenly I heard a voice behind me,"Hello,Strill."I punched at the voice reflexively and saw Mace Windu's ghost looking back at me.I scoffed,"Great.Another Force ghost.I am tired of you guys,especially after Exar Kun."Mace Windu just looked at me,"I know what you plan to do.Don't do it."I snarled and pulled out the vial of blue liquid,"I was given this for a reason.I didn't use it on anybody.I know I must use it on Anakin."Macd's eyes glazed over,"Yes,his death is unfortunate,but it is his destiny to die.If the world knows he live,there is too many unknown variables."I put the vial back in my pocket,"What is this vial anyway?And if the dead Jedi group didn't want me to save Anakin,why was O given this?"Mace sighed,"The vial you are holding is the force essence of Nomi Sunrider.It can revive any force user by the power of the force,and add to there force power and potential.And some Jedi don't agree with the death of Anakin Solo.Obi-Wan Kenobi,Qui-Gon Ginn,Anakin Skywalker,Revan,Bastila Shan,and Meetra Surik to name a few."I looked at the vial.turn poured the liquid into a syringe,"I don't give a damn about destiny.Anakin is like a son to me."Mace's eyes widened,"You fool!You are messing with the threads of destiny itself!You will..."

"There in so such thing as destiny.Only the fate you make yourself.I forge my own destiny."

Suddenly the world went back to normal,and I turned to Tahiri,"I am going to go save Anakin.Get everybody else to go."Tahiri's eyes widened,"I can't let you die!I lost my only love,I can't lose you too."I took off my helmet,kissed the top of her head,and ran over to where Anakin is.When I got there,I saw Jaina run away and saw Anakin's body drop to the ground,skewered in two more places.There was about five Vong solider left,and I took out all my weapons.The Vong charged at me really fast,so I only had time to shoot one in the head before I had to go hand to hand.I ducked under a blow,spun behind the group,and stabbed one in the face with my gun.I pulled it out before smashing a Vong in the face with my lightsaber hilt,before kicking him away.The other two Vong went high and low,so I ducked the high one and blocked the low one with my gun.I slashed upward with my lightsaber and cut off both there heads.Before one of the heads hit the ground,I kicked the head right at the remaining Vong and it knocked him off his feet.I stepped on his neck and cracked it,before running to Anakin.It was bad,I don't know what magic liquid can heal this, it it is worth a shot.I picked up his body and put it in the corner so nobody could see us.Then I started pulling out the amphistaffs out of his body.Once that was out I started to clean up the wounds as best as I could.Then I pulled out the syringe of Nomi Sunrider's essence and jabbed it in his neck.For a second,nothing happened,then his vitals went up and his breath returned to him.I noticed that his wounds were healing in there own way.Then he coughed and sat up.I nearly sobbed with relief and hugged Anakin.Anakin was shocked,"Uhh...Did I really see that."I stood up,"See what."Anakin pointed to his head,"I died,but I was in this 'waiting room' I guess.Then Old Ben showed up and explained my destiny,yours,and Tahiri's."That really saves me the time to explain e on.We have to get out of here."Anakin shook his head,"No.We have to kill the Voxyn Queen."I nodded,"Remember,Jacen and Ganner are probably there,so we have to do it stealthily.We have to fake are deaths."Anakin nodded,"Follow me."We didn't walk far before Anakin stopped."We can't go any further,lest they see us."I smiled and pulled out my sniper attachment,"Haven't sniped anything in forever."I took careful aim with my sniper,accounting for movement,wind speed,and air resistance.Them I fired.I single plasma bolt ripped through the Voxyn Queen's head,and it fell toward the ground.I quickly took off the attachment and pulled out a smoke bomb.I dropped it,grabbed Anakin's arm,and we started running away.A few minutes later,Anakin frowned,"All that work,and it is killed in four seconds."I shrugged,"Work for you."Anakin sighed,"How do we get out of here?"I frowned,"The only ship here is Nom Amor's,but I want to leave that for everybody else.Suddenly Anakin straightened up,"Escape pods!"I scratched my head,"Don't Vong have a death wish?"

"Yes,but they still have some for high ranking people to escape.The escape pods are nearby,let's get out of here!"

When we got to the escape pods,I frowned,"How are we suppose to eject it?"Anakin smiled,"Get in."I got in an escape pod;then he smashed the controls before diving in.All the escape pods went crashing into Myrkr's surface,and Anakin started talking,"How do we get off of Myrkr when we land there?"I was about to reply,but he suddenly hit the ground hard and I bit my tongue.I took off my helmet and spat out the blood,"Luckily,we are not to far from a friends house."Anakin frowned,"You have a friend here."I clipped my helmet to by belt,"Yes,I do.Keep your hood up,so we can avoid unnecessary questions."

When we got there,four men that liked exactly like me walked out,and Anakin flinched.The one on left,Scorch,smiled,"Strill It has been a while!What is the occasion?"I smiled back at them,"Me and my friend were recently stranded here.I wonder if we can take a ship."Boss grunted,"Sure.We have enough anyway."Sev gestured with his hands,"Follow me.It is the least we can do for you.Especially after saving me."When we got to the ship I whistled,"This is a pretty good ship."Boss frowned,"Actually,it is one of the least advanced ships we have."I turned around to face them,"Thank you for the help,Delta Squad."We walked back into the ship;and I lifted it off the ground.Anakin took off his cloak,"They...look exactly like you.Just older."I smiled,"That is Delta Squad.Fixer.Scorch,Boss,and Sev.I rescued Sev and convinced the lot to desert:"

"Are there more like them."

"Tons of them.One day I will get you to meet them."

Anakin leaned back in his seat,"Well where to next?"I flipped on the news,"Well,Coruscant is close to here:"

"Breaking news!Coruscant has just been taken over by a Vong fleet led by Tsavong Lah."

I frowned,"Never mind."Anakin closed his eyes,"Nobody I care for is dead,but Jacen is in a lot of pain.I think he has been captured."I grunted,"We can't rescue him yet."Anakin reached for his lightsaber,and started flipping it in his hand,"So where should we go?"I punched the coordinates in the navicomputer,"Hapes."

A/N:Things are finally cooking!Sorry for taking so long.If you guys want a short story about Sev survival,I will right it!For the record,let's just say that I recovered Anakin's lightsaber and gave it to him.
