Yes. That "in-between" time is opportunity to let the imagination work overtime. What did happen in the ten years between EP 1 and EP 2? Good choice of timeframe.

Zash Namaad woke to the sound of high winds crashing into her mountain home. slidding out of her sleep couch she tip-toed past her two friends Sibyl Kai and Xana Chi. Going into the bathroom she gazed at her reflection her brown hair was matted in clumps from sleeping and her silvery-blue eyes had prominent rings under them. Despite the morning ugliness that plagues all she was amazed. She had stayed 13 years old for so long

"the force works in starnge ways" she muttered to herself her voice groagy and dry.

Taking a quick shower she dressed in her usal black pants and black tunic with her long brown hair braided down her back.The only thing that dosent stop growing but worse then a weed.she thought with a smirk.

"Happy today arent we?"asked Xana his usally tan skin looked pale almost like milk and his hands shook worse then a ship on crash coarse.

"Are you okay Xan?" inquired Zash

Xana didnt answer he went into the bathroom.

"whats wrong?" asked a chipper voice

Zash turned to see her best friend Sinbyl holding out protein breakfast bars. Taking one Zash bit into hers ravenously.finishing her mouthful she muttered.

"lovely" her face screwing up at the taste of molten space rock Sibyl giggled.

Her face turning serious Zash said

"Not sure whats going on with Xan today"

As if on cue Xana burst out of the bathroom his usal kaki pants and black tunic pulled on haphazardly.His utility belt hang from his hand in the other he held his comn-unit.

"I knew it! I felt it!" he sputtered Brandishing the comn at zash and Sibyl

"Intruders un-identified ship coming in!" he continued

Sibyl grabbed the comn and flicked it on.

"An Unidentified cruiser has entered our atmosphere at the moment it poses no threat but planet defense is on high alert" came the cool female reporter

"Never a quiet morning eh guys?" asked Zash grapping her belt and down to her knees black jacket zash . Sibyl nodded and said

"saddle up thoses speeders"

"were going for a ride" finished zash with a smile

Colour returning to his face Xana nodded strapping on his belt and throwing on his short kaki jacket he went to prep there speeders.Sibyl threw some clothes on her usal black pants white tunic her flame red hair clipped back she pulled on her own belt and knee long black jacket she checked the charge on her blaster seeing it full she nodded.

"lets be bad guys" the girls said in unison

If i were still a jedi would i be able to trust obi-wan like i trust Sibyl and Xana?

Never.......

Zash joined Sibyl and Xana at there make-shift landing pad. "Tracking device is locked on Zash you ready?"said Xana "Lead the way"replied Zash pulling up her hood and a scarf that covered her mouth and nose. Xana did the same and swung his leg over the side of his speeder checking his tracking device he took off. Sibyl and Zash followed him in a close pursuit. They sped through out the entire laytout of the mountains on there side of Alderaan. Finnaly they found the ship tucked away in a deep crevice of the mountains the wind blowing harshly on the trio as they found a place to watch the invaders.

"I am thinking Zash and I distract 'em while you Xany hit them with a net launcher"said Sibyl cocking her gun "sounds good 'cept Xana be sure of two things"said Zash holding up two fingers and ticked them off "one: Hit them not us and Two: Wrap them around those trees" "agreed"said Xana "lets not make this one like Narr Shadda" "oh dont remind me!"said Sibyl Zash cocked her gun and Xana readied the launcher and waited a few moments then two hooded figures walked down the landing ramp.
Could it be jedi? thought Zash no jedi wouldnt sneak into a peacful planet apart of the republic. "lets go!" said sibyl nodding zash joined her in the leap over the cliff side.Sibyl took on the short one and zash took on the tall one they fired random shots at them pushing them towards the trees. The invaders reached into there robes to pull weapons seeing this they shot flares towards xana he leaned on the cliffside ready. Then in perfect unision Sibyl and zash spun around kicking the weapons out of there hands and kicking the invaders against the trees. then backflipping into crouches the girls waited for xana to fire. With a solid shunt sound the intruders had nets wrapped around there abdamons pinning there arms and legs. Zash and sibyl got up and signaled to xana that it was all clear he scrambled over the cliffside leaving his net cannon with there speeders he went to inspect the invaders weapons. Zash walked up to the tall one sibyl went to the short one "oo zash this one is kinda cute!" said sibyl boy-crazy! thought zash.
She cupped the tall ones chin in her hand and raised his head to see his face. Her breath cought in her throat her eyes widened with fear and shock. "obi-wan!" she said in a hoarse but audible whisper. "why do you want us?"asked tall one. It cant be him ! she thought i have to do it! relunctently she opened herself to the force. It stung like taking a knife to an old scar she had suppresed her force abilitites for three years. Now it hurt with painful memories. She felt his familer prescence she turned away and looked at xana holding both weapons..there lightsabers. She called them to her and turned back to obi-wan and anakin she thought master is here so little one is the apprentice. She turned on the sabers and spun them in a single fluid motion she cut the nets setting the jedi free. "what are youd doing!?"cried Xana and sibyl in unision. Zash ignored them "who are you?"asked obi-wan Zash pulled off her hood and scarf and said "Apoligies Master Kenobi we didnt know" she turned around and walked back to her speeder. "ZASH NO!" cried Obi-wan. Too late the speeders blew up...

Falling.......Eternal Darkness....

This is my life thought zash I guess im dead..

The sound of whisperes tugged at her mind she opened her eyes and looked around.
She was in her cave home she was wrapped in blankets. She went to move her arm but hissed in pain. Broken. she surmised. she looked at a figure sitting on a stool hood raised with face pointing its to its lap breathing evenly in a deep sleep.
Who? thought zash confused oh yeah she cringed as the details came back to her of the day.
"Obi-wan?" she croaked
The figure instantly awakened "Zash" he said "How long have i been out?" she wondered aloud "2 standard days" replied Obi-wan with a worried look in his eyes
"Zash..." he began "You should never have left the temple becaouse of me i felt betrayed but when i calmed down i realized you didnt want to lose our friendship....in sorry"
"So you dont hate me eh?" she quirked in a tired whisper "course not" said obi-wan
"council wont let me back" she said "Au contrair i contacted the temple when you were out of it they will take you back as long as its your descion to return" said Obi-wan
"I have to think" she croaked and turned over with a shudder ans she landed on her broken arm. obi-wan reached forward and pulled her to the other side away from her broken right arm.
The he rose and left the room.
Zash drifted in and out of conciusness for what seemed like forever..
When she finnaly awoke she got out of bed and slipped on the sling she found on her night stand and walked into the kitchen "Xany your gonna kill me!" said zash when he hugged her "Sibyl walked forward and hugged her gently are you ok? she asked "ok" replied zash she looked down at herself she was still in the clothes she was a few days ago with her belt on the others were dressed to "i guess its afternoon" she muttered as she reached for some fruit in a whicker basket "the jedi left a few days ago" said siybl Zash nodded but didnt reply.
Suddenly the buliding shook and rock slate hit the bed where zash had been sleeping a moment ago
"were under attack!" cried Xana Siybl and Zash followed him to there hidden swoops in the escape tunnel.
Zash rode with sybl and with her swoop tetherd to sibyls and xana took the lead as they fled there destroyed home and headed for the city.

[Jedi Master Elad Kenobi]

[nefertiti]

[sharyntyre]

cool tale! :cool:

like my writing, it needs a bit of polish, but the meat of the story is well done. as Zed likes to say "more, more, more"

[ForceFlow]

thanx for replying u guys! sorry for not writing i had a block and an anti star wars time
______________________________________________

the trio stayed on the move for three weeks never realy stopping. In that time Zash's arm healed so she rode her own swoop.

"we have to get help!" said Xana
"cant ask for help xany you know why were outlawed from the city" said Siybl
Xana walked away grumbling on about wanting food and bed and complaining about roots sticking him in the back when he slept.

Sibyl went to sit with Zash on a cliff side.
Zash had been looking at a scar she had from an accident in temple training with obi-wan when he and she had been equals.

"whats wrong?" asked Sibyl sitting next to Zash
"you dont know what its like Si. being a jedi having a brother who turned to the sith and ontop of all that having the force keep you from ageing until you meet your true master. Seeing your friends grow up do amazing things and leave you behind. then to be thought of as a traitor when the truth comes out about your family" zash said silent tears falling from her eyes

"Zash.....come on dont think like that!" said Sibyl
Zash pushed her away and walked off into a forest.

Sibyl had been packing up camp when Zash came hurlting out of the trees.
"Its obi-wan and Anakin! they need help! there surronded the bandits have them!" said zash in short bursts

"Finally! something to do!"crowed Xana cocking a blaster

the trio got on there swoops and went through the woods until the found a clearing where about 20 to 30 men and women well armed were trying to take down the jedi team.

Abadanoning there swoops the trio lept into the fray taking out as many as they could. Luckily they were pretty sharp shooters and worked like pros but the bandits kept on coming you killed one another would step into its place.

"Zash you know what you have to do!" cried obi-wan slicing into a burly looking bandit

"I cant!" cried zash

"Zash! concentrate on now and not the past!" said Sibyl

She is right thought zash to herself. A glint caught her eye, it was her lightsaber spiraling through the air.

Zash opened her self to the force let it flow thourgh her and course though her being then leapt high saumersalting she caught her saber and in a flash the double sided purple saber was ignited and deflecting balster bolts everywhere.

Sibyl and Xana stared as there friend switched from a type of bandit herself who has no rules into a well disciplined Jedi.

"Attack Par Meka!" cried Zash

acting on instict xana and siybl recognized the command and fell back to back with the jedi and zash.

Blaster bolts and lightsabers now took out the bandits the group working in complet syncrenization.

"Break!" cried Sibyl as she rolled away from the group

the bandits were being overwhelmed they started to falter in there attacks there shots becoming more clumsy.

Then suddenly a command in gibberish was shouted and every surviving band dropped his or her blaster and held up there hands. the fight was over.

Obi-Wan called into the city for security officals to come take the survivors away. While the officals came a small cruiser landed on planet carrying only two people. Mace Windu and Master Yoda

Obi-Wan and Anakin gave them the details of the mission and all the time there eyes skitted over to Sibyl Zash and Xana who were not aloud to leav until cleared by security.

The conversation ended and Yoda and Windu went over to the trio.

"Thank you for assisting the Jedi" said Windu curtly

"Always a pleasure" said Xana with a smirk wich slid off his face in secounds when Mace gave him an icy glare.

"Zash speak to you we must" said Yoda his green ears flapping in a soft breeze

Zash walked off to the side with the masters and waited for the 'your under arest' to come. But to her suprise it didnt

"You really think i should return to the temple?" asked Zash a little stunned she had returned her saber to Obi-wan so she fiddled with her belt where her blaster once was.

Out of the folds of his cloak Mace held out her lightsaber "You belong at the Temple You belong with the jedi" said Mace
"Belong with yoour family you do hmmm" said yoda

Zash looked at her saber her mind racing then the voice drifted into her head "I should never have accoused you Zash you are my friend." it was obi-wan sending her a message through the force.
Zash took her lightsaber "the past is over time to look towards the future" she said
Yoda smiled with approval and Mace nodded she bowed and went to say goodbye to her friends. Clipping her saber to her belt the weight so familer.

"so your leaving eh boss lady?" asked Xana
"Yes i am xany but i know i will see you guys again someday!" she said Sibyl smiled "Do well Zash and dont forget us little people" the group hugged and then she tore herself from there arms and boarded the ship she waved at them one last time before the hatch closed.

Walking into the interior it sunk in she was going home!

[ForceFlow]

Zash walked down a thin corridor to where the passegers sat she was passing by obi-wan and anakin when a sharp word in huttese was throne at her.
She snapped her head to look at a smiling anakin leaning on the back of his seat with obi-wan sitting rigidly muttering "I really do hate flying"
Zash couldnt help it smiling back at anakin she and he began an animated conversation in huttese talking over the events of the past three years.
"you ran into sebulba?" she asked amazed that Anaikan had run into that bloody doug
"yeah and helped beat him in another podrace!" said anakin pumping a fist.
Laughing Zash cast a glance at obi-wan who looked like he was asleep but his breathing wasnt measured. Thanking the force obi-wan didnt know huttese anakin and zash continued to reminise.
