Latest GALACTIC HOLONET NEWS!
Emperor Palpatine Proposes the Tarkin Doctrine!
Emperor Palpatine, Beloved leader of our glorious empire recently proposed to the Galactic Senate the Tarkin Doctrine. This doctrine will pave the way for total peace and security in our Glorious Empire.
The Tarkin Doctrine, also known as the Imperial Communiqué #001044.92v, was initially proposed by Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin of Eriadu. The Tarkin Doctrine contains revolutionizing ideas and here are some of its contents:
Oversectors will be established over Systems that have a high crime rate, rebellion or have supported the Confederation of Independent systems. These Oversectors will disregard existing territorial and cultural boundaries. Each Sector will be overseen by a Moff personally assigned by the Emperor himself.
Communications centers will be distributed to every ship and station to improve communications with the Empire Center.
The systems that continue to rebel will be ruled through fear of force rather than fear itself. Oversector groups or combination of oversector groups will remain the deterrent and if needed, deliver the threat against these systems.
Research and Development of more powerful Starships and weapons to inspire fear into these Crime ridden systems. A weapon is needed that is so powerful and so immense as to defy all attacks against it, a weapon that is truly invulnerable that opposition gives up at the sight of it. This weapon should be powerful enough to deal with an entire star System by itself.
Imperial Senate Votes on Renaming Coruscant as the Imperial Center!
Coruscant, the center of our Glorious Empire is now officially called the Imperial Center! The planet is the known center of the galaxy as it hosts headquarters of thousands of intergalactic companies, weapons manufacturers and traders.
The planet is also the official residence of Emperor Palpatine and his official home is the Imperial Building, formerly known as 500 Republica.
Scandal among the Clones!
CC-7567 or “Rex” is found guilty by the Imperial Tribunal by sending out vital information to the Empire’s enemies. ARC commander Rex remained defiant and refused to mention his contact. Rex was the commander of Torrent company of the famed 501 st Legion, The fist of our glorious empire.
“It’s a fault in his programming. We’ve seen other incidents before of clones suddenly turning coat” Clone Marshall Commander Cody said in an official statement released minutes ago. Commander Cody is the new commanding officer of the 501st Legion.
CC-7567was executed this morning by firing squad.
Moff Wilhuff Tarkin promoted to a Grand Moff by Emperor Palpatine!
A grand ceremony this morning promoted Wilhuff Tarkin to a Grand Moff, the highest military position in our glorious Empire. This position gives Tarkin superiority in rank to Lord Vader, our beloved Emperor’s apprentice. Wilhuff Tarkin is known as a brilliant commander and a master Tactician.
Tarkin is a long time acquaintance of Emperor Palpatine. As Chancellor, Palpatine immediately assigned Tarkin a military governor position in recognition of his talents and ruthlessness against enemies.

Dagobah. Sluis Sector
“So the left one’s the tchun… and you call the right one tchin…” Harry said as he gently massaged his friend’s lekku. Aayla had began to teach him about her heritage as a Twilek and about the other alien species like Togrutans and Wookies during their free time.
“Mmmhmm..” Aayla nodded, closing her eyes at the result of Harry’s relaxing caress. The Twilek Jedi and the Wizard were lying on the grass as they observed the stars on Dagobah’s sky. It was a rare night as Dagobah’s thick clouds were thin, enabling the two friends to stargaze. It had been two weeks since they’ve seen even a speck of star light, and Aayla found it to be a bit disconcerting.
All her life Aayla was used to seeing the stars, planets and moons of the Galaxy. Ryloth, her home world was known for its peaceful and clear night skies and she enjoyed the beautiful and peaceful view, even using the sight to help her sleep as a young child.
She was used to seeing the stars and other heavenly bodies as she spent most of her life in space. It was a comforting sight that helped her meditate, whether on board a Battleship, a Jedi Starfighter or a hostile planet filled with Separatist Droids.
Dagobah though… the planet’s thick atmosphere and thick fogs prevented any starlight from passing through, as the atmosphere diffused the light by the nearby star and its moon. The environment was stifling… and the Rutian Twilek felt uneasy… even trapped.
That was her greatest fear… to be suddenly caged and live her life like millions of her race, as slave dancers, with no free will and their lives dictated by their owners. Her own body was not even her own, to serve the whim and pleasures of others. It was thanks to her old Jedi Master that she managed to escape a life of slavery and depravity at a relatively early age…
Aayla opened her eyes and turned her head to the side and found Harry looking at her with amusement.
“That must have been some deep shit you were thinking.” Harry observed. He resumed his gentle ministrations of his friend’s lekku… the tchinn this time.
Aayla smiled. “You can say that… I just missed this” Aayla said as she looked back at the night sky.
“The stars?” Harry asked.
“The star filled sky….” Aayla replied. “I like watching the night sky. It’s peaceful and nice to look at.”
“So that’s why you always stay out at night at Felucia.” Harry said. “Every night on Felucia you would always wake up at the middle of the night and would sit on top of those giant flowers… if it wasn’t raining. I thought you were bird watching.”
“You noticed that?” Aayla asked. “Anyway… I’m used to staring at the stars at night to relax… it helps me to meditate and to commune better with the Force.”
“It must be tough then when we arrived here.” Harry said as he looked at Aayla closer. “I didn’t even notice that you were feeling uneasy.”
“Your presence beside me at night helps.” Aayla replied as she grabbed Harry’s left hand with her right, locking her fingers with his.
“Me?” Harry asked. “What does that got to do with it?”
“The night sky… and then my hobby of watching Avian and winged creatures in the air… they all represent one thing I fear I will lose the most… my Freedom.” Aayla replied.
“And you… You represent my future.” She looked at her friend closely and squeezed his hand with hers to emphasize her point.
**********
“All around us the Force is. Binds us together.”
“Magic”
“Guides your path the Force does. Shows you the most efficient way it will.”
“Common Sense.”
“Whispers to your ear the Force does…”
“Instinct.” Harry grunted as he took a massive leap to the next boulder, and as he landed he immediately grabbed a low lying branch and used it to swing towards the clearing where he originally started. The ancient Jedi master who was on his back prepared his gimmer stick…
POK!
“Ouch!” Harry shouted as he immediately scrubbed his head. The ancient Jedi Master leapt from his back and smiled as Aayla and Shaak Ti laughed from their seats on a fallen log.
Yoda smiled as he looked at his young student. The young force user might run his mouth off during training, but he followed Yoda’s instructions without question. And the way Harry kept on insisting about Magic was amusing… Shaak Ti, Aayla and him even referred to Harry’s daily spells as Magic. The force is truly wonderful.
“Rest you shall not.” Yoda said as Harry started to sit down on a nearby exposed tree root.
“Huh? We’re not yet done?” Harry asked as he stood up straight, struggling to control his heavy breaths and the pain in his thighs and arms. He looked at his hands and they were full of blisters and imbedded pieces of wood.
“A Jedi, fight to the fullest he must even with exhaustion.” Yoda tapped Harry’s leg with his gimmer stick. “Learn to focus… learn to concentrate… pain… thirst… distractions these are that block out you must.”
“Now… curious I am also… this opportunity we will take advantage of.” Yoda said.
“What’s next?” Harry asked as he took deep breaths... Yoda really pushed him hard this morning.
“Most complicated… but not necessarily powerful spell you must cast. One with precision… delicate control it should require.” Yoda said.
“Alright… I’ll do it.” Harry said as he stepped into the middle of the clearing. The most complicated but not necessarily the most powerful? A combination of Transfiguration and animation charms was the hardest… they were so complicated to perform that there were only a few dozen spells in existence.
Harry didn’t need his wand for this… while the spell he was about to perform needed fine control and precision… he had fine tuned his wandless magic with the countless hours of practice with his mentor Albus Dumbledore. This was also good exercise to strengthen his magical reserves.
Harry looked at the eager and fascinated faces of the three Jedi knights and he looked around for any material he could use… there were only trees… mud… rocks and water. He smiled as he decided with his material and began an intricate dance with his hands.
Aayla looked at her friend with fascination as Harry made several complicated hand movements. The wind suddenly picked up and she struggled to see amidst the dead leaves, twigs and dirt picked up by the strong breeze.
Aayla felt the force in Harry and she activated her force perception to see him clearly. She immediately gasped as Harry actually glowed a bright light… he was a fountain of the living force. Beautiful green and brown colors danced around his hands and they weaved through his surroundings in streams, splitting into smaller and smaller currents.
“Aayla… look at the trees.” Shaak Ti whispered, afraid to disturb Harry’s concentration.
Aayla looked at the trees swaying with the strong wind…. Swaying? Her eyes widened and she exchanged awestruck looks with Shaak Ti. The branches of the trees were ten feet thick in diameter! They were solid wood and would not sway even with the strongest storm.
The Trees seem to dance to the wizard’s silent music as branches and wood started to twist and move and weave with one another. Large cylindrical and crooked branches straightened out and some morphed and twisted into flat and smooth surfaces while others twisted over them forming a roof and walls.
Roots suddenly erupted from the ground throwing large quantities of soil, rock and underground insects and creatures into the air. The large roots formed a familiar spiraling pattern around the large trunk and its surface shifted into several flat surfaces that varied in height. The Ancient Jedi Master snatched a juicy looking bug and munched on it as he observed his student struggling to maintain his composure and concentration. The young wizard gritted his teeth, clearly the pain and exhaustion were taking a toll on him but Harry pushed on. It was this quality Yoda admired about the young human… he never gave up.
He nodded with respect to the powerful and intricate display of the Force…. The young Wizard was making a shelter for all of them by manipulating the trees without killing them… one that would maintain their cover and by the looks of it, last for hundreds of years. How powerful is Harry Potter?
Harry finally released the weaves of Magic and he fell down on his knees, breathing hard. “That… was harder… to maintain than I thought.”
Aayla and Shaak Ti immediately went to his side and between them half dragged and half carried the tired wizard to a comfortable spot under the shade of a large tree.
Aayla immediately produced a cup full of cold water and pressed it to her friend’s lips. Harry immediately drank the whole contents as he savored the cool water quenching his dry throat and dehydrated lips.
“Passed the test you did… pleased I am” Yoda approached his young student carrying a sack. “… and grateful I am for our new dwellings.”
Shaak Ti and Aayla looked up and gazed in wonder at the newly transformed trees… their old tree shelters were beautiful to look at, they seemed to have grown naturally to serve as comfortable shelters. There were stairs formed out of the wood that lead up to their respective tree shelters and a beautiful large dome like shelter that gave shelter from the rain, wind and even provide privacy.
“Appreciate I do… the two gifts Harry gave us,” Yoda said as he joined the trio under the shade.
“Two?” Harry asked as he finished another cup of water.
“Provided breakfast, you did.” Yoda said as he tossed the cloth bag to the ground. It opened and revealed a variety of squirming creatures and insects.
Harry’s face paled as Aayla dusted a large beetle like bug and placed it inside her mouth. The Rutian
Twilek chewed on the bug, making an awful crunching sound. Aayla saw his expression, and like on board Tantive IV she picked a bug and dangled it by its leg near Harry’s air lock sealed mouth.
Shaak Ti smiled at the duo’s antics, Master Yoda knew what insects and creatures to pick as the pile of critters in front of them were all safe to consume. It was just fun to watch the young human evade by shaking his head from side to side to evade Aayla’s attempts to feed him a squirming bug.

“Only you Vos… only you could have survived this.” The red skinned creature with two horns in his head said as he observed the carnage that lay before him. Blood pooled around the fallen Jedi Master through the wound in his chest but he still drew in shallow breaths. A few meters beside him was the decapitated body of Commander Faie, the ARC Expeditionary Commander in Kashhyk.
Vilmarh Grahrk heard the sound of Clone transports approaching and he immediately set to work. He could repay the debt he owed Vos right here. Devanorians never forget to pay their debts.
“There! I see smoke!” The ARC Squad Commander said as he pointed at a plume of smoke that suddenly rose through the forest canopy. He immediately headed to that direction with his blasters drawn while the rest of his squad followed behind him.
The ARC commander signaled that they would be silent from now on and would resort to using hand signals. He gave a sweep of his arm and his squad nodded in understanding. They would burst through the clearing from all directions, making sure that the Jedi they were after would not be able to escape.
He gave the signal and immediately his squad burst through the forest clearing… they were moments away from unleashing their weapons when the ARC Commander held up his hand for a halt.
Vilmarh Grahrk, the smuggler who had helped the republic forces stood over a funeral pyre where a silhouette of a humanoid body was getting burned to a crisp.
“Villie?” The ARC commander asked hesitantly. He remembered the eccentric smuggler liked to be called by that name. “What are you doing sir?”
“Killed Vos here after he attacked Commander Faie… He choked to death the poor guy.” Villie pointed to the dead body of Commander Faie, ARC Clone Commander of the forces in Kashhyk.
“Isn’t he your friend?” The ARC Commander asked.
“I heard from the Chancellor that all Jedi were to be executed for betraying the republic… figured it should be me to kill him and give a proper Jedi burial… it is the honorable thing to do.” Villie said as he stared at the rapidly burning body.
“I understand sir. Chancellor Palpatine will be notified of your help.” The ARC Commander said. He looked at his squad and motioned for them to head back to the transport.
As the republic military transport took off, Villie smiled and looked at the prone body of Commander Faie on the ground. He removed the helmet off the body and revealed the bruised and unhealthy face of Quillan Vos.
“All debts paid, Jedi.” The smuggler muttered.
*******
Aayla struggled in her sleep as she fussed in her cot, and she kept changing positions.
“No… Master…” Aayla moaned and she lashed out an arm as her dreams grew to a climax.
SMACK!
A feminine blue hand hit a sleeping wizard on the face and Harry immediately woke up.
“Ow! What was that for?” Harry asked as he rubbed the night out of his eyes. He turned his head and saw the sweaty face of Aayla and he immediately sat up to wake her. This was the third this week that Aayla had troubling dreams. His friend was stubborn, that was for sure as she persistently denied that she needed help.
“Aayla… c’mon wake up.” Harry said softly as he placed a hand on her forehead. The Rutian Twilek opened her eyes and for a moment her eyes were full of fear and worry.
“Thanks…” Aayla said as she breathed deeply. ”It was just a nightmare.”
“Another one?” Harry asked skeptically. “You’re shitting me again Aayla. And to think that Yoda said that Jedi are honest and pure.”
Aayla raised an eyebrow as she stared at her friend. Harry sure had an extensive library of curses fit for a spice smuggler. “I am not ‘shitting’ on you Harry. And that’s the misconception about Jedi. We’re not all pure as the legends say. We all have flaws and no one is perfect though we aspire to be… only the force is pure and infallible.”
“There you go again distracting me… it worked the first couple of times but it won’t work now. C’mon you can tell me.” Harry persisted.
“I promise I’ll tell you later. I just need to meditate on this.” Aayla replied. “Now let’s sleep Harry, we still have a couple of hours before you resume your training.”
“Don’t remind me” Harry replied as he lay back on the cot.
“The results of your training are beginning to show.” Aayla replied as she traced Harry’s bare chest with her finger. A hand stopped her progress as she headed down his torso and her golden eyes stared back at Harry’s green.
“Really?” Harry asked as he placed a hand on Aayla’s hips. His hands moved slowly across her slim waist, savoring her smooth skin. The Rutian Twilek squirmed a bit at the touch and smiled softly.
“I think you look nice too.” Harry whispered as he traced her navel.
Aayla moaned as she moved closer to Harry. She suddenly pushed him on his back and climbed on top of him and pressed her body along the length of his. Harry gasped softly as Aayla’s hands wandered all over his body and he responded by placing both his hands on Aayla’s very nice and shapely bum. He wanted to touch them for the longest time to see if they were firm as they appear. he was not disappointed.
“I think I’ve waited enough.” Aayla said breathlessly, her lips inches away from her friend’s.
“Are you sure?” Harry asked as he stared at the blue skinned beauty’s red lips.
“Very sure.” Aayla said as she pressed her lips with Harry’s. She needed to forget her dreams anyway and the sexual tension that was building up since they met was about to blow out of proportions. the constant teasing, flirting and hot looks were driving both of them crazy.
“Wow…” Harry gasped as he kissed Aayla’s smooth blue skin. “They’re purple… I thought they were red like your lips”
Aayla knew what Harry was talking about as he was fondling them like a child playing with a button and she grabbed Harry’s face and kissed him deeply. It was awkward but the passion between them made up for the moment.
Aayla released her new lover from the long kiss and grinned at him.
“The Lethan Twileks have the red nipples Harry.” Aayla said.
“Oh… let’s see if it reacts the same way.” Harry whispered and he leant down and suckled one.
“BY THE FORCE!!!”
*******
Yoda’s long ears twitched as he heard strange sounds as he woke up from his sleep. At least Aayla still remembered the force. Yoda turned on his small cot and tried to fall asleep once again.
“Rutting like Nerfs they are.”
******
“You look happy.” Shaak Ti said as she observed the Rutian Twilek sitting cross legged on top of a boulder on a cliff.
“I’m just admiring the view Master Ti.” Aayla said as she looked at the early morning fog dissipating as the sun bore down on them. It was only during the mornings that Dagobah was not covered by thick fog and it provided a beautiful and rare view of the planet’s topography.
“I’m sure you admired something else.” Shaak Ti replied as she gave a naughty look at the younger Jedi “I heard your moans.”
“Oh! My apologies Master… we didn’t mean to…”Aayla stammered as she blushed, her light blue cheeks going slightly darker. The new status quo was still new for everyone and they were still adjusting.
“Do not trouble yourself with it Aayla. And call me Shaak Ti. We are both women here.” Shaak Ti said. “so… how was it?”
Aayla’s eyes widened at the uncharacteristic behavior of the Jedi Master. Shaak Ti noticed the look and she sat on top a large root rising out of the earth. “I am just curious Aayla.”
The Twilek grinned and she leaned her head and began to share her experience. Jedi or not, Gossip was still the favorite past time of Females in the Universe, after meditating with the Force of course.
After a lengthy discussion full of stifled giggles, the two females saw a sweaty Harry walked towards them, finished with his physical conditioning with Yoda. Shared smiles and smirks between the two female were passed as their topic of the conversation collapsed on the grassy earth.
“You’re talking about me.” Harry said as he eyed the two females. He saw Shaak Ti’s black eyes staring at his crotch and he covered himself by placing his wet shirt on his lap.
“We’re we that loud?” Aayla asked.
“No… but I know that look, Human, Twilek or Togrutan, all females have similar expressions when they’re gossiping.” Harry said absently as he relished the cool dews on the grass tickling his back.
“How did you know Harry? By experience?” Shaak Ti asked as she glanced at Aayla.
“Sort off, being the chosen one pushed to the spot light, even more when I was the boy who lived.” Harry replied.
“How about girls? Did you have many friends?” Aayla asked.
Harry should have seen the signs by now but as he didn’t see the faces of the two Jedi he was talking to, he replied. “Yeah, one of my best friends is a girl, Hermione…. She’s brilliant… And then there’s Ginny, my other best friend’s younger sister. Now she’s the gossip queen, she practically stalked me half my life. Then there are the fan girls… they make the most ridiculous gossip…”
“Oh? What Sorts of gossip?” Shaak Ti asked.
Harry stretched and continued to relax. “My love life… my career…I remember one time about some rumors that I had slept with half the girls in my year in school.”
“Did you?” Aayla asked.
“Merlin no… why?” Harry turned his head to look at Aayla and his face instantly paled as he saw her face. “Aayla?”
The Twilek closed her eyes and took a deep breath but the jealousy didn’t go away. It was a completely new emotion, Jedi were always selfless but why was the emotion she felt so intense? She looked at Shaak Ti and she noticed for the first time that the Jedi Master was eyeing Harry’s sweaty chest as it rose up and down. It did not help as the emotion she was feeling intensified… why did she not feel it as she was sharing the details with Shaak Ti?
“Hey!” Harry suddenly felt himself rise up through the air.
“Come Harry, you need a bath.” Aayla stated as she dragged the confused wizard through the air.
Shaak Ti observed the interactions of the two with curiosity. She was fascinated with her fellow Jedi’s new path and the experiences Aayla was now going through. All Jedi knew of these but only experience them from a distance. Some Jedi like Ki Adimundi had families before they became Jedi Knights. She glanced at the white cloths that wrapped around her thighs and buttocks and was surprised to see dampness between her legs.
**********
“Ow! I’m clean enough Aayla!” Harry said as the Rutian Twilek scrubbed his back furiously. Aayla dunked his head under the pool once more and Harry sputtered as he rose up as he swallowed water. The human she was cleaning suddenly turned around and grabbed hold of her hands.
“Why are you acting like this?” Harry asked, perplexed at Aayla’s strange behavior.
“I… don’t know.” Aayla said though she did not want to admit what she felt. It was unbecoming of a Jedi to feel such emotions.
Harry gently took the scrubber away from her hands and she felt her own clothes were removed from her body. As she felt her head guard that was wrapped around the side of her face and forehead removed she looked up to the concerned face of her friend and lover.
Aayla felt the emotions from Harry, worry, curiosity and complete puzzlement. She took a deep breath and asked the Force to give her courage. “Harry… I just… I just got jealous...” Her golden eyes looked up and saw Harry’s surprised face.
“You were Jealous of those girls I told in my story?” Harry asked. “I never even dated any of them. My job as an auror prevented me from having a stable relationship.”
“I know that… I was just overwhelmed with these new emotions… since last night…” Aayla said as she looked down. “I’m new to this” She whispered.
Harry started washing his friend’s back in turn to relax her. “It’s fine Aayla… I admit I’m no expert…”
“You better not be.” Aayla shot back.
“But I did have some experience… we do all sorts of stuff in school when are young. “ Harry said as he moved to Aayla’s lekku and gently massaged them. His friend relaxed as she leaned her back on Harry’s chest.
“I think the emotions you are feeling are natural… you don’t need to be troubled by them.” Harry said as he moved his hands and massaged her temple. “And I promise, we will always face these things together and discuss whatever bothers us properly. Alright Aayla?”
“Agreed.” Aayla replied. She suddenly turned around and faced her lover and smiled. “Your insight is a enlightening and greatly appreciated Harry. Now let’s head back to camp. I’m feeling cold.”
“I can see that” Harry said naughtily as he gazed downwards.
Aayla sighed and waved her hand, splashing her lover a face full of water. At least now she understood the emotions she felt from her clones in the Star Corps… lust, passion and obsession. She was feeling the same thing with her lover, and it felt exciting.

“Production has fallen behind schedule Master…” Lord Vader said as he bowed before a holographic image of the Emperor. “We are running low on skilled laborers… they kept on dying on their stations.”
“And what have you done to resolve the situation my apprentice?” Darth Sidious asked.
“I have increased work load hours master… but we need more workers. Security has been dealt with and I have personally executed several saboteurs.” Darth Vader replied.
“Then I shall provide the project with more workers then… Wookies are known to be durable and skilled laborers…” Darth Sidious said. “I think you have dealt with the issue of security and discipline in the project Lord Vader… report to Kashhyk and meet up with the 501 st stationed there… and persuade the Wookies of our cause. The 327 th Star Corps will also participate and will arrive in Kashhyk to support the 501 st.” Emperor Palpatine said.
“Intelligence reports indicate that some Jedi thought dead survived in Kashhyk… deal with them personally.”
“As you wish Master. They will soon learn the might of the Empire.” Darth Vader replied. The hologram he bowed to flickered and disappeared and the Emperor’s apprentice rose up and headed to the bridge.
”Prepare the Mas Ramdar and the Indomitable for hyperspace… We will meet with the 501 st in Kashhyk.” Darth Vader ordered.
“Yes Lord Vader!” The captain of the Mas Ramdar saluted and began to give out instructions to his bridge crew and that of the Indomitable. The Karrak Class battle cruiser Intrepid would be left behind to provide security to the Project.
Darth Vader looked on at the orbital platforms that shipped hundreds of tons of materials daily to the skeletal frame of the Death Star. A moment later the two Imperial Warships entered Hyperspace and disappeared in a prismatic burst of real space.

“I’m glad I found you Master Unduli” Ahsoka said as she embraced Luminara Unduli.
“I’m also glad that you found me Ahsoka…” Luminara replied. “How did you find me? And how did you escape?”
“Rex… he warned me through a secret transmission when I was in Naboo. I was supposed to guard Senator Amidala Months ago when Clone intelligence discovered a plot to kidnap her. I was waiting for her to arrive… and she did… inside a casket.” Ahsoka said.
“Ah yes… Rex the ARC clone of the 501 st… I remember him… I admire the loyalty he has shown you.” Luminara replied. She looked at the young Jedi Padawan's eyes. “I sense much anger in you Ahsoka… Obviously you know of what you master did.”
The young Togrutan nodded as she gazed at the stars. “I know Master Skywalker… he would never do it… but I saw it from my own eyes how he slaughtered those padawans when I tapped into the Jedi beacon.”
“Amongst all the Jedi you are the one closest to him… even closer than Obi Wan. Do you think he is capable of turning to the dark side?” Luminara asked.
Ahsoka did not answer right away… the weeks in space searching for fellow Jedi that survived the Purge gave her time to meditate and reflect about her master and the force. She remembered how her Master sacrificed an entire force just to save his Astromech droid… and then he almost died because he saved herself, Aayla and the clones during a rescue mission.
“He is capable…. If only to save those he cares about. My master would do just about anything for someone he cares about.” Ahsoka answered. “How did you survive Master Unduli? Clone Intelligence reported that you were killed.”
The Mirialian smiled as she guided the young padawan to her hidden sanctuary. “I am not so easily defeated by acts of guile and betrayal. I sensed Commander Faie’s evil intentions and made him think that he succeeded in killing me. I made the infirmary explode to hide any evidence that I am alive. How did you get here Ahsoka?”
“I stowed inside a supply ship… I listened to the Clone Intelligence reports and found that they were still hunting for Master Yoda… I figured if anyone can survive this, it has to be master Yoda.” Ahsoka replied.
Luminari smiled. “Your assumptions are correct Ahsoka… I sensed Master Yoda escape after he killed ARC Elite Commander Bree… but I felt master Vos’ life force dwindle until he completely disappeared from my senses.”
“He’s Alive! I knew it!” Ahsoka exclaimed. She stopped when she noticed that Master Luminara had disappeared from her sight. She looked up and saw the Mirialian Jedi Master climbing the tree by leaping from branch to branch. She followed Luminara’s actions and soon found herself in a comfortable shelter overlooking Kachirho, Kashhyk’s only city that contained a spaceport.
“What do we do now Master Unduli?” Ahsoka asked as she took another bite of the tasty fruit that grew on the tree they used as a shelter.
“I will continue your training Ahsoka.” Luminara said as she looked at the setting sun. “Although I will modify some of your training.”
“And after that?” Ahsoka asked.
“We wait. Our allies will reveal themselves to us.” Luminara said simply.

“It’s about your old Master again isn’t it?” Harry asked as Aayla suddenly woke up from a dream.
The Rutian Twilek breathed hard as she looked at the young wizard whose face showed worry for her. The dream was so real… so detailed… and so violent. She only nodded, as she was unable to speak yet.
“Here” Harry handed a cup of water and Aayla smiled slightly to thank him and drank the cup.
“I kept on feeling his emotions… the last moments before he died.” Aayla confessed. “It’s what I have been dreaming these past few weeks.”
“Have you talked with Master Yoda and Shaak Ti?” Harry asked.
Aayla shook her head. “No… I haven’t.”
“Then what are you waiting for Aayla?” Harry asked.
The Twilek did not answer and instead she looked at Harry. She pulled her lover back to bed and started to kiss the young wizard. The human stopped kissing back and Aayla noticed this.
“What’s the problem?” Aayla asked as she tried to engage his lips again with hers. Harry moved his head to the side to avoid her kiss.
“I’ll fuck you only if you answer my question” Harry whispered back.
Aayla sighed… she was hoping that she could use sex, to help her forget the violent dreams, but her Lover was not falling for her advances.
“Fine… I’m worried that Master Yoda would not allow me to go to Kashhyk…” Aayla said. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath and looked back at Harry.
“I… I feel…. That Master Vos is still alive, somewhere… and his subconscious mind is reaching out to me through the Force. He is calling for help… I know he is not dead!” Aayla said as she desperately looked at Harry and the young wizard noticed her gold eyes pleading for him to agree with her.
“I believe you.” Harry said. “And if you want me to come I will.”
Aayla’s eyes widened in surprise. “You agree with me?”
Harry nodded. “Well yeah… you’re the Jedi, not me. Who am I to argue with you? Now let’s tell master Yoda tomorrow, and it doesn’t matter if he agrees or not, we’re taking the Falcon.”
Aayla’s face broke out a smile. She pushed back her blanket and removed her trousers. She beckoned her lover as she lay on the bed in a pose she knew Harry particularly liked.

Luminara Unduli is alive in Sword and Magic, as I find her name is just cool. And she’s green skinned(or olive), that’s hot. Bariss Offee sounds like a drink in Starbucks
Most of us wondered what happened to Anakin’s padawan since she was not by his side in Revenge of the Sith. There can only be two options:
A - She died as a padawan and that only served to push Skywalker to the brink. (The most likely scenario)
B – She was assigned somewhere else and escaped the purge by hiding and vanished into anonymity.
As I don’t know of Ahsoka’s fate, I decided to include her in Sword and Magic. I find her whiny and very much reminds me of the Olsen Twins, and I don’t care if it’s Mary Kate or Ashley.
Thanks Isebas

Latest GALACTIC HOLONET NEWS!
Emperor Palpatine Proposes the Tarkin Doctrine!
Emperor Palpatine, Beloved leader of our glorious empire recently proposed to the Galactic Senate the Tarkin Doctrine. This doctrine will pave the way for total peace and security in our Glorious Empire.
The Tarkin Doctrine, also known as the Imperial Communiqué #001044.92v, was initially proposed by Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin of Eriadu. The Tarkin Doctrine contains revolutionizing ideas and here are some of its contents:
Oversectors will be established over Systems that have a high crime rate, rebellion or have supported the Confederation of Independent systems. These Oversectors will disregard existing territorial and cultural boundaries. Each Sector will be overseen by a Moff personally assigned by the Emperor himself.
Communications centers will be distributed to every ship and station to improve communications with the Empire Center.
The systems that continue to rebel will be ruled through fear of force rather than fear itself. Oversector groups or combination of oversector groups will remain the deterrent and if needed, deliver the threat against these systems.
Research and Development of more powerful Starships and weapons to inspire fear into these Crime ridden systems. A weapon is needed that is so powerful and so immense as to defy all attacks against it, a weapon that is truly invulnerable that opposition gives up at the sight of it. This weapon should be powerful enough to deal with an entire star System by itself.
Imperial Senate Votes on Renaming Coruscant as the Imperial Center!
Coruscant, the center of our Glorious Empire is now officially called the Imperial Center! The planet is the known center of the galaxy as it hosts headquarters of thousands of intergalactic companies, weapons manufacturers and traders.
The planet is also the official residence of Emperor Palpatine and his official home is the Imperial Building, formerly known as 500 Republica.
Scandal among the Clones!
CC-7567 or “Rex” is found guilty by the Imperial Tribunal by sending out vital information to the Empire’s enemies. ARC commander Rex remained defiant and refused to mention his contact. Rex was the commander of Torrent company of the famed 501 st Legion, The fist of our glorious empire.
“It’s a fault in his programming. We’ve seen other incidents before of clones suddenly turning coat” Clone Marshall Commander Cody said in an official statement released minutes ago. Commander Cody is the new commanding officer of the 501st Legion.
CC-7567was executed this morning by firing squad.
Moff Wilhuff Tarkin promoted to a Grand Moff by Emperor Palpatine!
A grand ceremony this morning promoted Wilhuff Tarkin to a Grand Moff, the highest military position in our glorious Empire. This position gives Tarkin superiority in rank to Lord Vader, our beloved Emperor’s apprentice. Wilhuff Tarkin is known as a brilliant commander and a master Tactician.
Tarkin is a long time acquaintance of Emperor Palpatine. As Chancellor, Palpatine immediately assigned Tarkin a military governor position in recognition of his talents and ruthlessness against enemies.

Dagobah. Sluis Sector
“So the left one’s the tchun… and you call the right one tchin…” Harry said as he gently massaged his friend’s lekku. Aayla had began to teach him about her heritage as a Twilek and about the other alien species like Togrutans and Wookies during their free time.
“Mmmhmm..” Aayla nodded, closing her eyes at the result of Harry’s relaxing caress. The Twilek Jedi and the Wizard were lying on the grass as they observed the stars on Dagobah’s sky. It was a rare night as Dagobah’s thick clouds were thin, enabling the two friends to stargaze. It had been two weeks since they’ve seen even a speck of star light, and Aayla found it to be a bit disconcerting.
All her life Aayla was used to seeing the stars, planets and moons of the Galaxy. Ryloth, her home world was known for its peaceful and clear night skies and she enjoyed the beautiful and peaceful view, even using the sight to help her sleep as a young child.
She was used to seeing the stars and other heavenly bodies as she spent most of her life in space. It was a comforting sight that helped her meditate, whether on board a Battleship, a Jedi Starfighter or a hostile planet filled with Separatist Droids.
Dagobah though… the planet’s thick atmosphere and thick fogs prevented any starlight from passing through, as the atmosphere diffused the light by the nearby star and its moon. The environment was stifling… and the Rutian Twilek felt uneasy… even trapped.
That was her greatest fear… to be suddenly caged and live her life like millions of her race, as slave dancers, with no free will and their lives dictated by their owners. Her own body was not even her own, to serve the whim and pleasures of others. It was thanks to her old Jedi Master that she managed to escape a life of slavery and depravity at a relatively early age…
Aayla opened her eyes and turned her head to the side and found Harry looking at her with amusement.
“That must have been some deep shit you were thinking.” Harry observed. He resumed his gentle ministrations of his friend’s lekku… the tchinn this time.
Aayla smiled. “You can say that… I just missed this” Aayla said as she looked back at the night sky.
“The stars?” Harry asked.
“The star filled sky….” Aayla replied. “I like watching the night sky. It’s peaceful and nice to look at.”
“So that’s why you always stay out at night at Felucia.” Harry said. “Every night on Felucia you would always wake up at the middle of the night and would sit on top of those giant flowers… if it wasn’t raining. I thought you were bird watching.”
“You noticed that?” Aayla asked. “Anyway… I’m used to staring at the stars at night to relax… it helps me to meditate and to commune better with the Force.”
“It must be tough then when we arrived here.” Harry said as he looked at Aayla closer. “I didn’t even notice that you were feeling uneasy.”
“Your presence beside me at night helps.” Aayla replied as she grabbed Harry’s left hand with her right, locking her fingers with his.
“Me?” Harry asked. “What does that got to do with it?”
“The night sky… and then my hobby of watching Avian and winged creatures in the air… they all represent one thing I fear I will lose the most… my Freedom.” Aayla replied.
“And you… You represent my future.” She looked at her friend closely and squeezed his hand with hers to emphasize her point.
**********
“All around us the Force is. Binds us together.”
“Magic”
“Guides your path the Force does. Shows you the most efficient way it will.”
“Common Sense.”
“Whispers to your ear the Force does…”
“Instinct.” Harry grunted as he took a massive leap to the next boulder, and as he landed he immediately grabbed a low lying branch and used it to swing towards the clearing where he originally started. The ancient Jedi master who was on his back prepared his gimmer stick…
POK!
“Ouch!” Harry shouted as he immediately scrubbed his head. The ancient Jedi Master leapt from his back and smiled as Aayla and Shaak Ti laughed from their seats on a fallen log.
Yoda smiled as he looked at his young student. The young force user might run his mouth off during training, but he followed Yoda’s instructions without question. And the way Harry kept on insisting about Magic was amusing… Shaak Ti, Aayla and him even referred to Harry’s daily spells as Magic. The force is truly wonderful.
“Rest you shall not.” Yoda said as Harry started to sit down on a nearby exposed tree root.
“Huh? We’re not yet done?” Harry asked as he stood up straight, struggling to control his heavy breaths and the pain in his thighs and arms. He looked at his hands and they were full of blisters and imbedded pieces of wood.
“A Jedi, fight to the fullest he must even with exhaustion.” Yoda tapped Harry’s leg with his gimmer stick. “Learn to focus… learn to concentrate… pain… thirst… distractions these are that block out you must.”
“Now… curious I am also… this opportunity we will take advantage of.” Yoda said.
“What’s next?” Harry asked as he took deep breaths... Yoda really pushed him hard this morning.
“Most complicated… but not necessarily powerful spell you must cast. One with precision… delicate control it should require.” Yoda said.
“Alright… I’ll do it.” Harry said as he stepped into the middle of the clearing. The most complicated but not necessarily the most powerful? A combination of Transfiguration and animation charms was the hardest… they were so complicated to perform that there were only a few dozen spells in existence.
Harry didn’t need his wand for this… while the spell he was about to perform needed fine control and precision… he had fine tuned his wandless magic with the countless hours of practice with his mentor Albus Dumbledore. This was also good exercise to strengthen his magical reserves.
Harry looked at the eager and fascinated faces of the three Jedi knights and he looked around for any material he could use… there were only trees… mud… rocks and water. He smiled as he decided with his material and began an intricate dance with his hands.
Aayla looked at her friend with fascination as Harry made several complicated hand movements. The wind suddenly picked up and she struggled to see amidst the dead leaves, twigs and dirt picked up by the strong breeze.
Aayla felt the force in Harry and she activated her force perception to see him clearly. She immediately gasped as Harry actually glowed a bright light… he was a fountain of the living force. Beautiful green and brown colors danced around his hands and they weaved through his surroundings in streams, splitting into smaller and smaller currents.
“Aayla… look at the trees.” Shaak Ti whispered, afraid to disturb Harry’s concentration.
Aayla looked at the trees swaying with the strong wind…. Swaying? Her eyes widened and she exchanged awestruck looks with Shaak Ti. The branches of the trees were ten feet thick in diameter! They were solid wood and would not sway even with the strongest storm.
The Trees seem to dance to the wizard’s silent music as branches and wood started to twist and move and weave with one another. Large cylindrical and crooked branches straightened out and some morphed and twisted into flat and smooth surfaces while others twisted over them forming a roof and walls.
Roots suddenly erupted from the ground throwing large quantities of soil, rock and underground insects and creatures into the air. The large roots formed a familiar spiraling pattern around the large trunk and its surface shifted into several flat surfaces that varied in height. The Ancient Jedi Master snatched a juicy looking bug and munched on it as he observed his student struggling to maintain his composure and concentration. The young wizard gritted his teeth, clearly the pain and exhaustion were taking a toll on him but Harry pushed on. It was this quality Yoda admired about the young human… he never gave up.
He nodded with respect to the powerful and intricate display of the Force…. The young Wizard was making a shelter for all of them by manipulating the trees without killing them… one that would maintain their cover and by the looks of it, last for hundreds of years. How powerful is Harry Potter?
Harry finally released the weaves of Magic and he fell down on his knees, breathing hard. “That… was harder… to maintain than I thought.”
Aayla and Shaak Ti immediately went to his side and between them half dragged and half carried the tired wizard to a comfortable spot under the shade of a large tree.
Aayla immediately produced a cup full of cold water and pressed it to her friend’s lips. Harry immediately drank the whole contents as he savored the cool water quenching his dry throat and dehydrated lips.
“Passed the test you did… pleased I am” Yoda approached his young student carrying a sack. “… and grateful I am for our new dwellings.”
Shaak Ti and Aayla looked up and gazed in wonder at the newly transformed trees… their old tree shelters were beautiful to look at, they seemed to have grown naturally to serve as comfortable shelters. There were stairs formed out of the wood that lead up to their respective tree shelters and a beautiful large dome like shelter that gave shelter from the rain, wind and even provide privacy.
“Appreciate I do… the two gifts Harry gave us,” Yoda said as he joined the trio under the shade.
“Two?” Harry asked as he finished another cup of water.
“Provided breakfast, you did.” Yoda said as he tossed the cloth bag to the ground. It opened and revealed a variety of squirming creatures and insects.
Harry’s face paled as Aayla dusted a large beetle like bug and placed it inside her mouth. The Rutian
Twilek chewed on the bug, making an awful crunching sound. Aayla saw his expression, and like on board Tantive IV she picked a bug and dangled it by its leg near Harry’s air lock sealed mouth.
Shaak Ti smiled at the duo’s antics, Master Yoda knew what insects and creatures to pick as the pile of critters in front of them were all safe to consume. It was just fun to watch the young human evade by shaking his head from side to side to evade Aayla’s attempts to feed him a squirming bug.
*********
“Only you Vos… only you could have survived this.” The red skinned creature with two horns in his head said as he observed the carnage that lay before him. Blood pooled around the fallen Jedi Master through the wound in his chest but he still drew in shallow breaths. A few meters beside him was the decapitated body of Commander Faie, the ARC Expeditionary Commander in Kashhyk.
Vilmarh Grahrk heard the sound of Clone transports approaching and he immediately set to work. He could repay the debt he owed Vos right here. Devanorians never forget to pay their debts.
“There! I see smoke!” The ARC Squad Commander said as he pointed at a plume of smoke that suddenly rose through the forest canopy. He immediately headed to that direction with his blasters drawn while the rest of his squad followed behind him.
The ARC commander signaled that they would be silent from now on and would resort to using hand signals. He gave a sweep of his arm and his squad nodded in understanding. They would burst through the clearing from all directions, making sure that the Jedi they were after would not be able to escape.
He gave the signal and immediately his squad burst through the forest clearing… they were moments away from unleashing their weapons when the ARC Commander held up his hand for a halt.
Vilmarh Grahrk, the smuggler who had helped the republic forces stood over a funeral pyre where a silhouette of a humanoid body was getting burned to a crisp.
“Villie?” The ARC commander asked hesitantly. He remembered the eccentric smuggler liked to be called by that name. “What are you doing sir?”
“Killed Vos here after he attacked Commander Faie… He choked to death the poor guy.” Villie pointed to the dead body of Commander Faie, ARC Clone Commander of the forces in Kashhyk.
“Isn’t he your friend?” The ARC Commander asked.
“I heard from the Chancellor that all Jedi were to be executed for betraying the republic… figured it should be me to kill him and give a proper Jedi burial… it is the honorable thing to do.” Villie said as he stared at the rapidly burning body.
“I understand sir. Chancellor Palpatine will be notified of your help.” The ARC Commander said. He looked at his squad and motioned for them to head back to the transport.
As the republic military transport took off, Villie smiled and looked at the prone body of Commander Faie on the ground. He removed the helmet off the body and revealed the bruised and unhealthy face of Quillan Vos.
“All debts paid, Jedi.” The smuggler muttered.
*******
Aayla struggled in her sleep as she fussed in her cot, and she kept changing positions.
“No… Master…” Aayla moaned and she lashed out an arm as her dreams grew to a climax.
SMACK!
A feminine blue hand hit a sleeping wizard on the face and Harry immediately woke up.
“Ow! What was that for?” Harry asked as he rubbed the night out of his eyes. He turned his head and saw the sweaty face of Aayla and he immediately sat up to wake her. This was the third this week that Aayla had troubling dreams. His friend was stubborn, that was for sure as she persistently denied that she needed help.
“Aayla… c’mon wake up.” Harry said softly as he placed a hand on her forehead. The Rutian Twilek opened her eyes and for a moment her eyes were full of fear and worry.
“Thanks…” Aayla said as she breathed deeply. ”It was just a nightmare.”
“Another one?” Harry asked skeptically. “You’re shitting me again Aayla. And to think that Yoda said that Jedi are honest and pure.”
Aayla raised an eyebrow as she stared at her friend. Harry sure had an extensive library of curses fit for a spice smuggler. “I am not ‘shitting’ on you Harry. And that’s the misconception about Jedi. We’re not all pure as the legends say. We all have flaws and no one is perfect though we aspire to be… only the force is pure and infallible.”
“There you go again distracting me… it worked the first couple of times but it won’t work now. C’mon you can tell me.” Harry persisted.
“I promise I’ll tell you later. I just need to meditate on this.” Aayla replied. “Now let’s sleep Harry, we still have a couple of hours before you resume your training.”
“Don’t remind me” Harry replied as he lay back on the cot.
“The results of your training are beginning to show.” Aayla replied as she traced Harry’s bare chest with her finger. A hand stopped her progress as she headed down his torso and her golden eyes stared back at Harry’s green.
“Really?” Harry asked as he placed a hand on Aayla’s hips. His hands moved slowly across her slim waist, savoring her smooth skin. The Rutian Twilek squirmed a bit at the touch and smiled softly.
“I think you look nice too.” Harry whispered as he traced her navel.
Aayla moaned as she moved closer to Harry. She suddenly pushed him on his back and climbed on top of him and pressed her body along the length of his. Harry gasped softly as Aayla’s hands wandered all over his body and he responded by placing both his hands on Aayla’s very nice and shapely bum. He wanted to touch them for the longest time to see if they were firm as they appear. he was not disappointed.
“I think I’ve waited enough.” Aayla said breathlessly, her lips inches away from her friend’s.
“Are you sure?” Harry asked as he stared at the blue skinned beauty’s red lips.
“Very sure.” Aayla said as she pressed her lips with Harry’s. She needed to forget her dreams anyway and the sexual tension that was building up since they met was about to blow out of proportions. the constant teasing, flirting and hot looks were driving both of them crazy.
“Wow…” Harry gasped as he kissed Aayla’s smooth blue skin. “They’re purple… I thought they were red like your lips”
Aayla knew what Harry was talking about as he was fondling them like a child playing with a button and she grabbed Harry’s face and kissed him deeply. It was awkward but the passion between them made up for the moment.
Aayla released her new lover from the long kiss and grinned at him.
“The Lethan Twileks have the red nipples Harry.” Aayla said.
“Oh… let’s see if it reacts the same way.” Harry whispered and he leant down and suckled one.
“BY THE FORCE!!!”
*******
Yoda’s long ears twitched as he heard strange sounds as he woke up from his sleep. At least Aayla still remembered the force. Yoda turned on his small cot and tried to fall asleep once again.
“Rutting like Nerfs they are.”
******
“You look happy.” Shaak Ti said as she observed the Rutian Twilek sitting cross legged on top of a boulder on a cliff.
“I’m just admiring the view Master Ti.” Aayla said as she looked at the early morning fog dissipating as the sun bore down on them. It was only during the mornings that Dagobah was not covered by thick fog and it provided a beautiful and rare view of the planet’s topography.
“I’m sure you admired something else.” Shaak Ti replied as she gave a naughty look at the younger Jedi “I heard your moans.”
“Oh! My apologies Master… we didn’t mean to…”Aayla stammered as she blushed, her light blue cheeks going slightly darker. The new status quo was still new for everyone and they were still adjusting.
“Do not trouble yourself with it Aayla. And call me Shaak Ti. We are both women here.” Shaak Ti said. “so… how was it?”
Aayla’s eyes widened at the uncharacteristic behavior of the Jedi Master. Shaak Ti noticed the look and she sat on top a large root rising out of the earth. “I am just curious Aayla.”
The Twilek grinned and she leaned her head and began to share her experience. Jedi or not, Gossip was still the favorite past time of Females in the Universe, after meditating with the Force of course.
After a lengthy discussion full of stifled giggles, the two females saw a sweaty Harry walked towards them, finished with his physical conditioning with Yoda. Shared smiles and smirks between the two female were passed as their topic of the conversation collapsed on the grassy earth.
“You’re talking about me.” Harry said as he eyed the two females. He saw Shaak Ti’s black eyes staring at his crotch and he covered himself by placing his wet shirt on his lap.
“We’re we that loud?” Aayla asked.
“No… but I know that look, Human, Twilek or Togrutan, all females have similar expressions when they’re gossiping.” Harry said absently as he relished the cool dews on the grass tickling his back.
“How did you know Harry? By experience?” Shaak Ti asked as she glanced at Aayla.
“Sort off, being the chosen one pushed to the spot light, even more when I was the boy who lived.” Harry replied.
“How about girls? Did you have many friends?” Aayla asked.
Harry should have seen the signs by now but as he didn’t see the faces of the two Jedi he was talking to, he replied. “Yeah, one of my best friends is a girl, Hermione…. She’s brilliant… And then there’s Ginny, my other best friend’s younger sister. Now she’s the gossip queen, she practically stalked me half my life. Then there are the fan girls… they make the most ridiculous gossip…”
“Oh? What Sorts of gossip?” Shaak Ti asked.
Harry stretched and continued to relax. “My love life… my career…I remember one time about some rumors that I had slept with half the girls in my year in school.”
“Did you?” Aayla asked.
“Merlin no… why?” Harry turned his head to look at Aayla and his face instantly paled as he saw her face. “Aayla?”
The Twilek closed her eyes and took a deep breath but the jealousy didn’t go away. It was a completely new emotion, Jedi were always selfless but why was the emotion she felt so intense? She looked at Shaak Ti and she noticed for the first time that the Jedi Master was eyeing Harry’s sweaty chest as it rose up and down. It did not help as the emotion she was feeling intensified… why did she not feel it as she was sharing the details with Shaak Ti?
“Hey!” Harry suddenly felt himself rise up through the air.
“Come Harry, you need a bath.” Aayla stated as she dragged the confused wizard through the air.
Shaak Ti observed the interactions of the two with curiosity. She was fascinated with her fellow Jedi’s new path and the experiences Aayla was now going through. All Jedi knew of these but only experience them from a distance. Some Jedi like Ki Adimundi had families before they became Jedi Knights. She glanced at the white cloths that wrapped around her thighs and buttocks and was surprised to see dampness between her legs.
**********
“Ow! I’m clean enough Aayla!” Harry said as the Rutian Twilek scrubbed his back furiously. Aayla dunked his head under the pool once more and Harry sputtered as he rose up as he swallowed water. The human she was cleaning suddenly turned around and grabbed hold of her hands.
“Why are you acting like this?” Harry asked, perplexed at Aayla’s strange behavior.
“I… don’t know.” Aayla said though she did not want to admit what she felt. It was unbecoming of a Jedi to feel such emotions.
Harry gently took the scrubber away from her hands and she felt her own clothes were removed from her body. As she felt her head guard that was wrapped around the side of her face and forehead removed she looked up to the concerned face of her friend and lover.
Aayla felt the emotions from Harry, worry, curiosity and complete puzzlement. She took a deep breath and asked the Force to give her courage. “Harry… I just… I just got jealous...” Her golden eyes looked up and saw Harry’s surprised face.
“You were Jealous of those girls I told in my story?” Harry asked. “I never even dated any of them. My job as an auror prevented me from having a stable relationship.”
“I know that… I was just overwhelmed with these new emotions… since last night…” Aayla said as she looked down. “I’m new to this” She whispered.
Harry started washing his friend’s back in turn to relax her. “It’s fine Aayla… I admit I’m no expert…”
“You better not be.” Aayla shot back.
“But I did have some experience… we do all sorts of stuff in school when are young. “ Harry said as he moved to Aayla’s lekku and gently massaged them. His friend relaxed as she leaned her back on Harry’s chest.
“I think the emotions you are feeling are natural… you don’t need to be troubled by them.” Harry said as he moved his hands and massaged her temple. “And I promise, we will always face these things together and discuss whatever bothers us properly. Alright Aayla?”
“Agreed.” Aayla replied. She suddenly turned around and faced her lover and smiled. “Your insight is a enlightening and greatly appreciated Harry. Now let’s head back to camp. I’m feeling cold.”
“I can see that” Harry said naughtily as he gazed downwards.
Aayla sighed and waved her hand, splashing her lover a face full of water. At least now she understood the emotions she felt from her clones in the Star Corps… lust, passion and obsession. She was feeling the same thing with her lover, and it felt exciting.

Dreadnaught class Battleship Mas Ramdar, Private Transmission
“Production has fallen behind schedule Master…” Lord Vader said as he bowed before a holographic image of the Emperor. “We are running low on skilled laborers… they kept on dying on their stations.”
“And what have you done to resolve the situation my apprentice?” Darth Sidious asked.
“I have increased work load hours master… but we need more workers. Security has been dealt with and I have personally executed several saboteurs.” Darth Vader replied.
“Then I shall provide the project with more workers then… Wookies are known to be durable and skilled laborers…” Darth Sidious said. “I think you have dealt with the issue of security and discipline in the project Lord Vader… report to Kashhyk and meet up with the 501 st stationed there… and persuade the Wookies of our cause. The 327 th Star Corps will also participate and will arrive in Kashhyk to support the 501 st.” Emperor Palpatine said.
“Intelligence reports indicate that some Jedi thought dead survived in Kashhyk… deal with them personally.”
“As you wish Master. They will soon learn the might of the Empire.” Darth Vader replied. The hologram he bowed to flickered and disappeared and the Emperor’s apprentice rose up and headed to the bridge.
”Prepare the Mas Ramdar and the Indomitable for hyperspace… We will meet with the 501 st in Kashhyk.” Darth Vader ordered.
“Yes Lord Vader!” The captain of the Mas Ramdar saluted and began to give out instructions to his bridge crew and that of the Indomitable. The Karrak Class battle cruiser Intrepid would be left behind to provide security to the Project.
Darth Vader looked on at the orbital platforms that shipped hundreds of tons of materials daily to the skeletal frame of the Death Star. A moment later the two Imperial Warships entered Hyperspace and disappeared in a prismatic burst of real space.

20 kilometers south of Kachirho, Kashhyk
“I’m glad I found you Master Unduli” Ahsoka said as she embraced Luminara Unduli.
“I’m also glad that you found me Ahsoka…” Luminara replied. “How did you find me? And how did you escape?”
“Rex… he warned me through a secret transmission when I was in Naboo. I was supposed to guard Senator Amidala Months ago when Clone intelligence discovered a plot to kidnap her. I was waiting for her to arrive… and she did… inside a casket.” Ahsoka said.
“Ah yes… Rex the ARC clone of the 501 st… I remember him… I admire the loyalty he has shown you.” Luminara replied. She looked at the young Jedi Padawan's eyes. “I sense much anger in you Ahsoka… Obviously you know of what you master did.”
The young Togrutan nodded as she gazed at the stars. “I know Master Skywalker… he would never do it… but I saw it from my own eyes how he slaughtered those padawans when I tapped into the Jedi beacon.”
“Amongst all the Jedi you are the one closest to him… even closer than Obi Wan. Do you think he is capable of turning to the dark side?” Luminara asked.
Ahsoka did not answer right away… the weeks in space searching for fellow Jedi that survived the Purge gave her time to meditate and reflect about her master and the force. She remembered how her Master sacrificed an entire force just to save his Astromech droid… and then he almost died because he saved herself, Aayla and the clones during a rescue mission.
“He is capable…. If only to save those he cares about. My master would do just about anything for someone he cares about.” Ahsoka answered. “How did you survive Master Unduli? Clone Intelligence reported that you were killed.”
The Mirialian smiled as she guided the young padawan to her hidden sanctuary. “I am not so easily defeated by acts of guile and betrayal. I sensed Commander Faie’s evil intentions and made him think that he succeeded in killing me. I made the infirmary explode to hide any evidence that I am alive. How did you get here Ahsoka?”
“I stowed inside a supply ship… I listened to the Clone Intelligence reports and found that they were still hunting for Master Yoda… I figured if anyone can survive this, it has to be master Yoda.” Ahsoka replied.
Luminari smiled. “Your assumptions are correct Ahsoka… I sensed Master Yoda escape after he killed ARC Elite Commander Bree… but I felt master Vos’ life force dwindle until he completely disappeared from my senses.”
“He’s Alive! I knew it!” Ahsoka exclaimed. She stopped when she noticed that Master Luminara had disappeared from her sight. She looked up and saw the Mirialian Jedi Master climbing the tree by leaping from branch to branch. She followed Luminara’s actions and soon found herself in a comfortable shelter overlooking Kachirho, Kashhyk’s only city that contained a spaceport.
“What do we do now Master Unduli?” Ahsoka asked as she took another bite of the tasty fruit that grew on the tree they used as a shelter.
“I will continue your training Ahsoka.” Luminara said as she looked at the setting sun. “Although I will modify some of your training.”
“And after that?” Ahsoka asked.
“We wait. Our allies will reveal themselves to us.” Luminara said simply.

Dagobah, Sluis Sector
“It’s about your old Master again isn’t it?” Harry asked as Aayla suddenly woke up from a dream.
The Rutian Twilek breathed hard as she looked at the young wizard whose face showed worry for her. The dream was so real… so detailed… and so violent. She only nodded, as she was unable to speak yet.
“Here” Harry handed a cup of water and Aayla smiled slightly to thank him and drank the cup.
“I kept on feeling his emotions… the last moments before he died.” Aayla confessed. “It’s what I have been dreaming these past few weeks.”
“Have you talked with Master Yoda and Shaak Ti?” Harry asked.
Aayla shook her head. “No… I haven’t.”
“Then what are you waiting for Aayla?” Harry asked.
The Twilek did not answer and instead she looked at Harry. She pulled her lover back to bed and started to kiss the young wizard. The human stopped kissing back and Aayla noticed this.
“What’s the problem?” Aayla asked as she tried to engage his lips again with hers. Harry moved his head to the side to avoid her kiss.
“I’ll fuck you only if you answer my question” Harry whispered back.
Aayla sighed… she was hoping that she could use sex, to help her forget the violent dreams, but her Lover was not falling for her advances.
“Fine… I’m worried that Master Yoda would not allow me to go to Kashhyk…” Aayla said. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath and looked back at Harry.
“I… I feel…. That Master Vos is still alive, somewhere… and his subconscious mind is reaching out to me through the Force. He is calling for help… I know he is not dead!” Aayla said as she desperately looked at Harry and the young wizard noticed her gold eyes pleading for him to agree with her.
“I believe you.” Harry said. “And if you want me to come I will.”
Aayla’s eyes widened in surprise. “You agree with me?”
Harry nodded. “Well yeah… you’re the Jedi, not me. Who am I to argue with you? Now let’s tell master Yoda tomorrow, and it doesn’t matter if he agrees or not, we’re taking the Falcon.”
Aayla’s face broke out a smile. She pushed back her blanket and removed her trousers. She beckoned her lover as she lay on the bed in a pose she knew Harry particularly liked.
**********
A/N: Only a few Jedi will be alive, so far there’s Yoda (master), Aayla Secura (knight) , Shaak Ti (master), Odee Starstone (padawan), Ahsoka Tano(padawan), Obi Wan Kenobi (master), Luminara Unduli (master) and Quillan Vos (Master)
Luminara Unduli is alive in Sword and Magic, as I find her name is just cool. And she’s green skinned(or olive), that’s hot. Bariss Offee sounds like a drink in Starbucks
Most of us wondered what happened to Anakin’s padawan since she was not by his side in Revenge of the Sith. There can only be two options:
A - She died as a padawan and that only served to push Skywalker to the brink. (The most likely scenario)
B – She was assigned somewhere else and escaped the purge by hiding and vanished into anonymity.
As I don’t know of Ahsoka’s fate, I decided to include her in Sword and Magic. I find her whiny and very much reminds me of the Olsen Twins, and I don’t care if it’s Mary Kate or Ashley.
Thanks Isebas
