als-da, walks from the funeral, shi-lo follows him...they walk hand in hand to the memoriam wall. as they look upon the wall of fallen jedi, tia-an aldan's life size face sculpt appears, a force memoriam....................
"a great honor, for a great jedi.....she would be pleased.!"
als-da aldan says to shi-lo.she cups his left hand, as he cups tia's face with his right hand..................shi-lo reaches up and feels the warmth of her mother's spirit in the sculpt.................
"i felt her too, father!" "the force, allows this...it lets us remember what we need to , when we need too.!" " she'll always be with us, here on this wall, and in hearts, our minds.............!" "a life lesson learned very hard at great loss" als-da aldan tells his daughter,whom now is leaning onto his chest and shoulder, aldan now drapes his left arm around shi-lo's shoulders,and squeezes her tenderly with his left hand...! "now my child a promise i must keep........!"aldan says to shi-lo.
they both leave the wall, which stands closely to 50 meters tall, and 200 meter across,a life sized face sculpt of all jedi passed and present that have fallen in battle or succumbed to the force,dying of natural causes,and herocly.their face appears and forever remain on the memorial "let me show you my mother, " they walk to the farthest end of the monolithic wall."here, this is my adopted mother Oola Tot......her master,for whom i'm named after, and my second master , master D'amascus...some say he and yoda are close in age ,wisodom, equals...........!" " no one will ever truly know." "aaaaaahhhhhh, my favorite padawan......deej,he is ewok.........quite pleasurabl to watch learn his jedi echniques, and his way of the learning the force, was a sight to behold......shi-lo, your mother is in the best company, never will she be lonely, or damaged, afraid...... for all these thousands and thousands of jedi keep her safe........." shil-lo notices the wall, her mother's face has followed them, as if walking beside them the whole way...............aldan looks at the face and smiles, tia-s scukpt smiles back..shi-lo is startled abit....'she'll always be here for you shi-lo, like she never left your side....."aldan still in mourning and grief............ but a happier feeling falls upon him, as tia looks onto them and smiles, then returns to her place, and solidifies until either shi-lo or als-da need to talk or just to be close to her................

chapter 9: a long dark year

Post by ALDAN JII on Jul 10, 2003 2:43:31 GMT -5
a year hs passed rather quickly for als-da and shi-lo, the skies darkened and grey as if a storm were brewing.....inside the temple shi-lo is a padawan class being taught by one of the great masters...........a language or starfighter class. shi-lo sits and looks out the window ,from her vantage point she can see the great memorial monolith...........she continues to look and be distracted by the goings on at the memoriam...... her class master notices her as she slips further intoher veiwing trance................ "shi-lo aldan, something more learned outside today, more interesting than in nava control!? "he repeats the same question several times, walking to her and tapping her shoulder. "shi-lo aldan, is my teachings boring you !?" the class master exclaims ! shi-lostarted from her trance......"what,did you ask me, master le-le kandori!?" scowling down his nose to shi-lo.. young one you'llnever learn this if you do not apply yourself in my class room...... !" "i think you should remove yourself, if you are not going to listen ,or join the class for disscussion on plasma conduits,and re-routing power to failed circuts.....!" shi-lo aldan gathers her things and slowly walks from the class room, almost in tears......!
meanwhile at the memorial wall, we see als-da aldan talking with tia-an, tis a normal thing to do, .he speaksknowing tia-an could never hear his words. he just speaks to comfort himself, to open the bottle and not to be corked up.....!
"tia-an, lately shi-lo has been getting into trouble,her grades failing, her mind also here atthis monolith,it's been like this for a year now,she rarely sleeps, non socialble, retreating to innerself.................i know deep inside my very being shi-lo will get thrugh this,, but i'm afraid it maybe longer than i hoped for.........the one thing she truly trains at, well her saber katas, she's beining to act like me and the saber training......i wished you could hear me and help me with this!"
niner walks to aldan........ "master aldan shi-lo has been expelled from propsion theory class....." "i am not picking her up on my long range sensor."
turning to niner,"thank you niner!"
aldan gathers his robes, and and walks towards the rocks, there he has a clasy looking blue and grey speeder waiting............he climbs in and takes off,niner returns to the aldan apartment................
"shi-lo, " talking into his comlink, " shi-lo,you need to talk with me, i'll be here for you!" slowly putting the com link down onto his lap, the direction of the speeder takes aldan into the corprate jungles of corasaunt..........the slummy side of corasaunt (like in ep 2) shi-lo there also, walking not paying attention, as she bumps casually into passersby, just a mindless walk.
"what the....!" "shi-lo , answer the comlink..........please. " dodging traffic and hoovering in one spot to visually locate shi-lo........
spotting her ,he lands the speeder, and watches her being solicited by the scum and villiany of the underworld of corasaunt..............aldan stays back just far enough not to be seen by the pimps of corasaunt ,and the crimelords as well............
one of the alien pimps lures shi-lo down an alley way,and tries to assault her, bt it never happened,as the lothorian tries to fondle shi-lo, an errie deep orange beam breaks the silence and the darkness of the alley way, and turning to look at aldan, the lothorian's arm drops to the ground and wiggles at his feet.
shi-lo is shaken back to her sences by the saber defense attack, she could feel the heat of the blade as it passedthruogh arm of the alien pimp, ever so close, maybe an inch from her face. "father, watch out, he has....!!!!!!!!" without hesitation and or remorse ,aldan, cuts the alien pimp from chin to crotch! "shi-lo, are you alright?" "yes,"sudeenly "o father,im>>>> i'm lost without her<she was there for me so so long, ............!" aldan takes shi-lo by the hand,and they leave, he reports the incident to the council................"shi, you need to get yourself together, and corasaunt, isn't the place to do that..!"
"what do you mean father!?"
"someplace more doscile, more even flowing..........!"
"father, can we go to naboo? ive always wanted to see how lovely it is..........!" with a hendered smile on his face, sure, naboo . naboo sounds excellent.........very serine, and peaceful.....i have friends there, maybe we could use their cottage in the foothiils, by the forest." shi-lo smiles with ease coming to her a relaxing smaile....."please, and bring niner, i enjoy her being aroiund, she is soft and nurturing ever bit as much as mother..........!!!!!" "i never leave home world with out her..........!" they leave as the jedi inspctors,the equivelency of the local magastrate. returning to their apartment, shi-lo runs to her room, and begins to pack her things............als-da on comscreen with his old friends,padme' amidala's decoy anio-fru...... a retired decoy, since amidal's death , after the births of the twins..............a decoy that never had the chance to decoy the passed queen, but revels in the notion she was a great protector to her passed queen.........!
"anio-fru,..."interuppted by anio-fru, als-da, my it has been along long time my friend, how may i serve master aldan!?"
"anoi, i was wandering if the cottage at the foothils is being used ,my daughter............!" " interuppted again- daughter, wonderful , i never knew ,you had children aldan..........!" "only sh-ilo.!" "how may i assit you my friend,aldan.of course the cottage is empty, vacant so many years now..........still cleaned regularly, as ellegant as your last visit........" aldan smiles, then watches shi-lo pack her belongins. "anoi-fru asks.... master aldan when will you be arriving, so i may have the food stores stocked for your visit?"
"we should be there, by tomorrow evening............plus i will need somewhere to dock the destiny.................are there any docking hangars close by.?"
"in reply-- yes master aldan, sorry als-da.... the old palce hangar ,will that be suitable, for your ship!?"
"very suitable, thank you, see you tomorrow evening..."
"shi-lo, it's all set, we leave after dinner...i have some business to take care of here with coucncil, and teacher confrences..." shaking his head,you, my child are just likei was........" "this place, it makes all feel disstraut, over ised, and down right careless at times, ....finishing packing, i'll return shortly.............!"

chapter 10;
als-da aldan , a donting figure walks ever so casually to the coucil chambers, so he may ask for a leave of absence, but first he stops, by master le-le anoifru's class room, he knocks as liam toogarth is teaching his younger students the intricacies of a starfighter............liam toogarth hears the knock and turns and welcomes aldan to his class room.................. "master aldan, i bid you welcome., class this fine gentleman is master als-da aldan, the temple's saber instructor, for upper classmen, his techniques are for the more advanced student, next semester, master aldan will be to most of you, advanced saber techniques instructor............................so finish up constructing your personal saber, for that is a priority ,right master aldan."
aldan looks at le-le, and knods"yes saber construction a valued lesson to us jedi make it right, it will be saving gracfe, make it wrong, we add you the memorial wall..!" master anoifru may i speak with you. concerning shi-lo..."they walk to le-le's ofice and begin discussing shi-lo.....some of the students are speaking about anoifru and more about aldan.......! first student; i heard master aldan, was a slave master in his classes..! second student; i heard he was a sith apprentice....then turned to the light side............... third student; master anoifru i think he has to much creame in coffa, the way he dances around here like a xagobian ferie.............(laughs to himself.......) fourth student that aldan , he scares me, living in the abandoned apartments of the temple, is daughter, shi-lo,i am hoping to ask her to the temple celebration of the lost jedi........(looks out the window at the wall), she is a cute, how many of you have started you light saber !? all but four raise their hands,first student,; raina, you need some help with yours? raina; shakes her head briskly as if she is embarassed of something.......... no i just can't afford the parts to make one, the students that have their sabers, all laugh er and make fun of her, she runs to le-le's office and hides under his desk....
"raina, what have they done this time!?" he asks her....
"raina, is it?" she bows to aldan, then answers him,"yes matser aldan, my name is raina lbtisam" aldan asks "may i ask why thay are making fun of you ,young one......?" in reply, "master, i am poor, and i have credits to build my light saber for you class next semester,i have no one, but the temple, i wear these ragged and tattered clothes, i live ina small puny room,i have family, and i have no master.!" "when did you arrive here raina..........afew weeks ago, amonth, please tell me..........? raina tells him ...."master aldan, i have only been at the temple for one week, this was my first assigned class!" aldan smiles, at her,"have seat for minute, let me finish speaking with master anoifru.then we'll talk........"
"liam, i will be takeing my daughter to naboo, for a few months, and i will be taking ms. Lbtisam with us, a amily she needs, and a sister shi-lo needs" a surprised reaction th aldan;s comment, "you are taking her with you as well,i am surprised........what will the council say.....i am wandering........" looking to raina,and aldan speaks."gather your books and lesson plan,we need to get going, we have things to complete, and discuss.....!"
they leave the class room,and walk thru the halls, raina closely behind aldan...........a small familar figure comes closer to aldan and raina.......
the three come to a stop, facing each other......."ooooa master aldan, padawan lbtisam, good day to you i bid......" "master yoda"bowing to the small figure,aldan knods his head......raina bows graciously to master yoda.... "good day master yoda sir....!" "master yoda, i amleaving the temple for a couple of months ,to help shi-lo re connect to herslf, and if the council allows it, i wish to take raina, with us, and get her started on way in her trainigns, and to bring her into my family as my daughter, and padawan.." "ooooooooooooa, yes, the young one needs a family , yours will be acceptable , oooooooommmmmm, she will be padawan to you, train them together, and in unison they will become as one,oooooa" the three figures leave, "than you master yoda ,"aldna speaks int the jedi mind link, and in reply "you are welcome old friend.........." yoda disappears from aldan and raina,as the round the corner to abandoned section of the temple.........."master why are we going this way?"
"home,we're going home, raina!"
"i am very stunned master aldan,i never thought i would have a family, or never ever dreamed of becoming a true jedi...........but i beleive i will be, with your help....."
the turbo lift comes to stop at aldan's apartment, the door opens , aldan and raina enter the apartment, shi-lo recognizes her from her clases together, one of her close friends............. "shi-lo you know raina, i have noticed?" "yes father, we are very good friends. studied together couple times." smiling....."good she is to be your new sister, and co=padawan learner to me.........."
looking stunned, shi-lo smiles and goes with her father's decision . "raina, come with me, i would to show you, your new room, this is where you will be sleeping, as for the apratment, this your new home,>" he opens the door and shows her inside, raina runs and falls onto the bed, and laughs happily......"thank you master aldan, i am sorry, father......" "sounds good to hear another say that to me...."on a the com link on the wall aldan calls for odok, master jedi tailor..............."odok, als-da aldan here,would you come to my apartment,i have someone whom needs your tailoring skills............" master odok replies in a mumbling lagnuage but understandable to aldan."another tunic master aldan, hahahahahahah,....... how many this make this week.....,hahahahahahah!!??" "no odok, for my new padawan, she needs a complete wardrobe, both tunics and her everyday wear, she will let you know what else she wishes to be clothed in.....she needs them by 0630 pm......since we are leaving for naboo, shortly after 0630 pm.........can you handle that clothing order!?" "hahahahahahahahaha,i can handle that and many more.............................hahahahahahahahah" a few minutes pass, odok and his tailoring equipment arrive at the apartment...........he sets it up in the living room, he instructs raina to eneter the 3d laser imaging machine,every inch of raina is mapped out,and in seconds the jedi tunics begin to appear in the quantities ordered, 7 total, now formal tunics, and a few dresses also appear in quantities also ordered........ "raina, i made this for you my new sister," shi-lo hands raina a cylindrical gift, wrapped in a peice of satin material owned by tia-an aldan,. "raina, the material was crafted by my mother,the saber i made .........father said it is one of the best he has seen constructed............" "thank you so much shi-lo,,,may i keep the saber after i have successfully constructed one..?" in a silly gigle,"why yes raina, this is yours agift from a sister, to a sister....... in your construction, i would be happy to assist you, and i'm sure father would help you also..........." odok moves to aldan, and holds out his hand.......... "old friend,how much this time?"
odok laughs, "nothing but a hand shake my old friend." they shake hands, odok leaves and takes his machine.
the girls gather their wardrobes,and finish packing.......aldan finishes packing also........ "master, the destiny is ready for take off...........i have all coordinates computed, and dialed in.............the ship has been tuned by astromech r9z7 ,i beleive him to be a useful addition to your compliment master." "replying, good, i've been searching for an astromech.....are there any more, needing a master, i have someone that will be needing one for herself, ..my new daughter raina, she will be needing one...." complying to aldan,"yes master several are in there storage compartment in the landing bay......" "good //continuing the conversation with niner// have them to standat attention, for further inspection by raina..............we'll be down in a few minutes......" the lugga is packed, server droids, take the luggage to the destiny and stow it in the cargot bay,five astromech droids stand at attention, beeping and whistling , their domes polished and gleeming inthe light of the hangar bay,as well spinnining and acknowledging,with beeps,blips whistles,to each other which who would be picked as raina's droid............. "raina, pic one , it will be your droid, from now on out...." "father, there are so wondeful, hard to choose, but i have made my choice, the purple one, i think his call number reads,,,,,,b8h1. " smiling to her new droid......aldan knods his head and acknowledges the choice....... "sorry little ones, return to your compartment,." shi-lo already on board the destiny playing with her new droid also...........niner, b8h1 and raina board behind niner, aldan follows, and closes the hatch/landing ramp.
the destiny begins to hum, then silence,the landing gear retracts, the ship hovers,then proceeds to launch.......streaking from the sub hangar, and leaping into the skies of corasaunt, and without hast disappears into space, once in space,the destiny goes into hyperspace, heading to naboo.........

"greetings master aldan, padawan shi-lo aldan, and padawan raina lbtisam-aldan, welcome one and all......."ther new family enters the cottage, kinda sci-fi in nature,very high tech, but at the same time victorian diesign,quite nice..........with smiles the human trio acknowledge anoi-fru's greeting. "thank you,le-le,"aldan replies......."thank you misstress anoi-fru, thank you so much for welcoming us to naboo, and this beautiful cottage"shi-lo smiles as she thanks anoi-fru. "misstress anoi-fru,this more a pllace than a cottage, i have nevr had the pleasure of seeing such a home,thank you for having me...........all of us i meant, thank you so much!" le-le anoi-fru,smiles and nods to raina........with out thinking raina gives le-le a hug of welcome..........aldan smiles, as does le-le..................
after a breif few minutes le-le leaves and the three are on their own at the cottage...................
"young ones, make yourselves at home, and enjoy naboo...........i will be back in awhile i have old friends i must visit..................." "okay father,shall we fix dinner while your gone,or wait until your return?" raina,wanders around the cottage taking in the sites and the rooms, her room............ niner has taken the luggage to all the rooms, and helps raina un pack........ "niner, may i call you niner?"raina asks of niner.
niner responds..."yes master raina, you may call me niner,how may i be of service to you master raina?"
raina is all giddy of the excitement, "are you familar with theed, will show shi-lo and myself around, while father aldan is away.....?"asking politely of niner
niner turns her head slightly and tilts it to the left and responds to raina's question...."master raina, i have detailed files on theed,master aldan has instructed me to be both you and master shi-lo's shaperone, and tour guide while we are on naboo, it would be my pleasure to tour my young masters around theed....i would be honored.!"
master als-da aldan hugs and kisses shi-lo one her forehead,gathers his robe, and walks to the blue grey speeder still out front.............as he turns it all, the speeder hums, and roars to life,he inputs the co-ordinates on the control console, the speeder streaks away, and fades away as it travels further away from the cottage................
niner goes to the cottage's garage,there sits a familar looking brown speeder,but new and more pristine shape, and showroom quality........., niner takes the speeder to the front steps,and raina head towards theed, shil-lo prepares dinner for the entire family..........raina calls shi-lo on her com-link, to let her know where her and niner are off to......... shi-lo responds,"you are in good hands, with niner, take care and have fun...father would tell you this also............"

chapter 12;forgotten
als-da aldan, zoooms to the distant mointains and foot hills of naboo, those in the back ground scenery........ a coool climate, als-da dresses accordingly.........a small cave comes into veiw and closer still, aldan stops the speeder.............. and exits it, cautsiously, he walks towards the cave entrance......! he stands at the entrance for a couple minutes, then he speaks......"hello...ang-eel, are you lost in your accient studies...or have you finally taken a long desreved rest from your books!?" no answer, but aldan hears, chattering and clanging in the depths of the cabe, he enters the tunnels,andcalls out again...."ang-eel, are you here...........?"
a smaller older man turns around and with an out of his mind look and finally reconizes his old friend.........."als-da aldan, my boy my have you grown, grown well into manhood........how many years has it beenmy boy !?" als-da aldan, smiles and replies,"ang-eel, you old soccereor, it has been to long old friend, since my master brought me here, to learn your healings............some 22 years ago..............,it has been along time............!"
ang-eel smiles and pats aldan's left shoulder, "come my boy, i have something for you, a very old holcron, i beleive it to be master D' amascus', i had lost many years ago, and by chance i fell upon it while cleaning off my shelves............!" aldan follows the old wiser ang-eel, "als-da, watch out for the battle droid parts, i started to collect them after the theed battle,"he turns his head a scue and for some apprent reason ang-eel's gils are exposed......"master, have you found a wading pool in this cave, you look no older than you did the last i saw you....?" turning and looking at als-da aldan,with a sarcastic look in his eyes..."i have a pool, down there.......... quite refreshing at times.......my books i rather have my books..................."scroundging around afew tables, ang-eel finds the holocron...................here, this belongs to you, my boy . now take your toy and let me rest my final rest.........this is why i stayed here this long, ."holding the holocron ! and looking at it with curiosty. "thank you ang-eel, may i stay for awhile , so i may listen and see what my master has stored in this toy, as you call it, for me.?"
the older man scuffles to his pool, "be my guest aldan, stay as long as you wish, tis pool will be home for a few days....."
als-da aldan watches ang leap into his pool, an disappear under the wake of wabes............now sitting the holcron on the table,an image of a aldan's master d' amascus.................an older grey haired man, with a long ponytail down his back, facial wrinkles,and stubble,a black outer robe, medium blue tunics, and pants, black boots, and black belt, under tunice a lighter blue almsot sky blue........a raspy voice sounds .......
"long time aldan, your visit here has been for told by the force,,,,,,,your energies will become a powerful allie to this planet's royal house,,,,,have you found your old and new families yet, good one of them is the key to this planet's survival in the galaxy,her light, will be naboo's salvation.................,she is not ready yet my padawan, in time she wil be, far more than any ahve expected of her..........."
D' amascus continues............"you have yet one final lesson to learn from me...........i have placed that lesson in this little box..................learn it well, and reap the benifits of its teachings..........in the box on the fall shelf of ang-eel's bookshelf, another box awaits it's master,you my padawan..........i am deeply grieved i can no longer be your master, and i feel the sorrow of losing you, but my passing was fortold, and your destiny awaits in the other box...............there your final lesson begins...................after you the knowledge has settled in your mind, go before the council and demand you final right of passage.........................learn your lesson well my son, my padawan...me life force is all have to give this holcron my final message to you, and my final teaching to you.......................! als-da aldan, gathers the remaining holocron, and sits back down and releases the information inside...............

"father/master aldan ! "

"let us speak , the rains are gathering over the lakes,inside is best.........niner, would you park the speeders in the garage?'
"yes master aldan, shall i clean them while i am there also?" niner asks aldan.
"no, just park them, and join us......i have news, and wish everyone in the household to hear...........!"
niner parks the speeders, and returns to the house.
aldan lays his over robe on the back of the couch,niner hangs it acordingly on the coat rack.......... raina goes to the kitchen, a grand meal awaits aldan and raina, shi-lo is napping in her choosen room..........
"niner, find shi-lo and have her join us in the galley, please, for dinner" aldan asks niner, the droid complies,and goes to awken shi-lo, who is dreaming of her mother, and the new training her father has begun to teach her..............
"mistress shi-lo, you are requested in the galley, your father wishes you to attend.?
stirring around, and waking slowly to niner's soft fembot voice........ "oh hi niner, have they returned home?" niner nods her head, and shi-lo stretches and puts her slippers on instead of the boots her father has given her..........the two enter the galley shortly after the awakening, shi-lo walks to her father and hugs his neck,and kisses his head softly, raina smiles at this action of shi-lo's......shi-lo also walks to raina and hugs her new sister, as she would her mother ................!
"welcome back father and sister....." looking to her father, "did you find your friend ?"
"yes i did, and i found these, my old master's last holocrons......they speak of you , raina!" aldan proclaims softly, as shi-lo sits and helps herse;f to the meal at hand, as doesraina, and als-da.
"me, father!? why am i mentioned, i never knew your master, this force thing is abit much to grip to all at once...!"
"raina, you were looked upon as royalty, today were you not? given gifts,and bowed upon ?"
"yes father, i was treated like a queen today" answering aldan's question. "shi-lo you dreamt of your mother, and the ways of the force, did you not?"
"(startled) yes father, i dreamt these things....!"
raina looks to shi-lo, then aldan...........as if wanting more!
"tomorrow raina, your true future begins tomorrow, shi-lo, you will be her protector, and you both with train in secret in the ways of the jedi, fore your new duties to came raina, jedi will be second in your life, shi-lo my daughter, you will protect raina with all your being,and when i return i will finish your training in the open, and together..............eat well, and rest better, tomorrow will be a long day for you both, at dawn your first saber class begins, wear your practice tunics, from there your futures begin..........." he leaves and goes to the lower section of the cottage, there aldan begins his saber training........the girls eat,and study their book learning, and an hour of meditation then bed, hours later, the pair in their seperate rooms, can hear the swooshing snd crackling of aldan's saber katas.........then silence...... aldan reaches in his tunic and plays the final holocron from where he paused it !
"aldan, put your sabers away, and meditate, for tomorrow your final lesson begins..........." the holocron image of d' amascus walks from the holocron, the ghostly image sits before aldan, aldan watches and accepts this image of his master............!
"you look tired als-da, your daughters are full of anticipation of the morrow, but all three of you look fabulous........to my old eyes........<d'amascus smiles>what do you think of your final lesson my padawan !?"
"i haven't finished watching or reading your last holocrons............i am intrigued of this mission, can you enlighten me further, master !?"
"the darkness is coming als-da aldan,the evil has it's souls to bear its ugly face, a coomon you and the darkside have, your old friend,,,,,,,,,he seeks to begin the elimination of all jedi............ "
"i know master, the dark one, took my wife, and came close to taking my daughter.............his sith contacts, and their envolvement in the dark force, terrifying,what is my final lesson master................!?"
d'amascus' image stands and walks around, aldan gets up and walks with him, the holocron still glowing and humming in the back ground..........
"paitence, was never a strong point of your learning, but it was there, you mastered it, but you still have problems with it...............!follow the day, and learn from it, and continue your mission from there........!" the image fades, and the holocron goes cold, and silent.....
the next morning, aldan is awaiting for raina and shi-lo to join him..........shortly they both exit the house and gather with aldan in the ajoining feild, and open space in the forest behind the cottage............
als-da aldan turns and faces the girls, then speaks.......
"en' garde position one, ignite your saber, holding it in both hands, right over left, thumbs alinged, ignite,hold the saber in front of youa 45 degree angle outward from your chest, left foot one step to your rear, right foot stationary.............." the girls both do exactly as aldan show's them, their sabers glowing asthe morning skies are abit non-existant, for the dawn is just begining "step two, left box attack, take your saber and swing in an upper over hand position, holding your saber as you are now, just swing to the lext,practice both for afew minutes, <few minutes pass> now rightbox attack swing, same as left attack box, only to the right, as so, <he shows them the three moves in succession.>now, those three movesinto left down attack boxtake your left attack and swining it downward, thenback to en' garde, then right down attack box, repat move to the right, as did the leftparatice these steps, until i say other wise.........!"<the girls practice the five maneuvers, and aldan steps back, and ignites some saber drones, > put your blast sheilds on, and see how well your first five moves have become........feel free to improvise if need be."
the girls do as they're told, the drones start blasting at raina and shi-lo, aldan notices both raina and shi-lo improvize and create their own saber kata, a freestyle form.
"if it works, why fix it!? continue, and use the fiorce to help you remember the moves you are doing, or you watch me, and try to follow me....!"

without warning als-da aldan lurches forward at raina, not to hurt her but to get her to defend against his attack, from no where again, shi-lo's blade blocks aldan's saber, he uses his right hand to grab her and pull/toss her aside, the attack is for raina, she defends with expert timing, opening her mind, she <raina> lets her new force feelings open up and flow within her, the force guides raina,and deflects every one but one of aldan's training attacks, the head strike, which aldan stops as his saber comes within and inch of raina's neck!
"defend against that one and you shall move to the next level!"
from behind shi-lo thrusts at aldan, without thiking he blocks the attack by taking his saber over his head and to his back, using slight force pushes to push shi-lo back, she attacks again, aldan defends her sabers advances, one of her attacks, hits aldan's left tunic sleeve, and grazes his shoulder round.......with no anger from the grazing, he defends himself, and begins the saber dance, he squats down and balances on one leg, then gestures shi-lo to attack, leaping into the air in a puff of dust, shi-lo distracted by the dusty sheild , he lands behind shi-lo and with force sences strong shi-lo defends his attack, raina joins the mock battle......
"now it's getting fun !" aldan says the girls............"be leary of kun ma..........a preferable disarmorment technique! try me?"
shi-lo and raina both attack aldan, by this time he has both sabers in hand .........aldan fends off both raina and shi-lo, shi-lo gets frustrated, and attacks out of anger, in his defense aldancircles his blade at shi-lo's left hand, with touch of his blade, he grazes shi-lo's wrist,and hand,and quickly dis engaging his sabers, and running to shi-lo's aid...!
"shi-lo, my apologies, but you warned........! let me tend to you, ?" hesitant, shi-lo pulls her hand back, aldan genlty pulls it to himand cups in both his massive hands...........raina dis-engages her saber,and belts it, and drops to her knees, and watches aldan..............with admiration and wanderment.....!!!!!!!!!!
shi-lo cowards down as she sees the oragne glow emmiting from aldan's body,,,,,,,,raina stumbles backwards and lands on her bottom,,,shi-lo with some fear,and ease of mind that her father is tending her wound..................the orange glow engulfs both aldan and shi-lo, aldan closes his eyes, and and a single tear flows from his good, the tear drops down to his chest and stains his tunic, raina, looking at an emmence orange glowing ball,, no shapes being seen, she moves behind an old tree trunk and watches...........the glow disapates and shi-lo looks at aldanthen her wrist...........!
"father, my wound ,it's healed,completely, only the scar remains.............how,how is that done!!??"
aldan falls back, and shakes his head...........
"father<raina runs to aldan>shi-lo , are you okay, ?! i'e never seen anything like that..............what was it.....father!? raina asks of her adopted father. shil-lo helps him to his feet, and asks hime the very same question.
"the orange mist,and the glow?!" he asks them. "the force, a rare occourance for others to see it, such as you two have.............!"
"father, why didn't you use this gift for mother!!!!!??"
"<looking shi-lo>"she asked me not to, she begged me,to let her go.............to embrace you,and teach you the ways of the jedi and of the force...............you have it, you are very strong with it,shi-lo........as are you raina! together you both will make this planet livable again, and less polictical in the galaxy......what you both have seen, alittle of it, flows within you,in each of you...."
aldan stands up and dusts himself off, and walks to the cottage, the girls follow him.
what seems like minutes have passed, all three now clean, and in new robes,boots,belts, the whole nine yards, is completely fresh and new..........they load into the speeder and they wisk towrds the distant horizion....
a grand building awaits the trio, long avenues of stairs flow around this building as if they were clouds,billowing around a mountain.................
the trio arrives at the foot steps,and exit the speeder, a couple of senators greet them !
//senator jashou tabora// : three jedi, starnge i thought you only numbered in pairs......no bother.....why have you come to the grand building of the queen!!??" //senator fhai kloogav//: yes we no longer need the protection of the jedi, we are but a commanality theses days, are ranks, are muses to us... but whay have you come !?"
"queen's eyes , queen's ears! where can we find her?" aldan asks. //senator jashou tabora//: you seek and audience with her majesty, a bold gesture coming from a jedi knight!"
"<using a jedi mind trick> the queen awaits our presence,and no, a knight yes, and loyal friend to padme' amidalla,i was with her when she passed........your queen, is merely a decoy.........i bring you the real queen of naboo..........in my guard she has been.........no harm has come to her or her loyal protector." <shi-lo looks at aldan-like what>
the two senators take the trio to her majesty's quarters!
queen kuzma:"aldan,my old friend, have you found her, tell me you have found her..............what news of amidalla?"
with sadness, aldan turns his head slightly, and gulps passionately, and tells her of amidalla.
"kuzma,amidalla has died, she is no longer with us, but the twins for now are safe, safer than anyone could imagine,these are my daughters, shi-lo aldan, and raina aldan................kuzma, i present to you, your queen, madame raina step forward!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
padme' is gone, oh my.... gone !?"she staimers aloud to aldan.
"our new queen , i bow to you, your majesty, and humbly offer I disagreeistance to you.......<with a crackle in her words from padme's death, and excitement of the new queen being before her...........>mi lady, i beg forgiveness for being dressed as your royal heiness.!"
<raina stunned by her blood right,speaks>"rise, your service, has been greatly appreciated,and warabted, i truly am pleased.........with your services of late....!?"
aldan smiles, and turns and leaves....shi-lo runs to him.
"father, am i to stay here, and protect raina!?" knodding his head, "yes,shi-lo, you two are as one, you both were brought together by the force, and it has lead you to biger and better things, and places, and most of all, friends and family................!"shi-lo watches as aldan walks down the grand hall, and disappears from sight,she turns to rain....... "my queen, i offer you my saber, and my life..........i'm most certain our father will return and finsh our trainings.........for now, you have planet to rule..............!"
