StarWars Shadows of the past (revising + adding)

Chapter 12

On the other side of the galaxy, Shonna had called for Orin into her chambers, for new instructions.

"I am sending you to Wayland," Shonna hissed as Orin entered the quiet dark room. "My father's storehouse, I want it cleaned out and brought here," she ordered.

"But I thought it was destroyed." Orin pretested.

"The outer cavern was, yes." Shonna insisted. Orin studied her for a moment.

"There was another room?" she questioned. Shonna nodded her head with her father's evil grin.

"I learned very young to never underestimate the Emperor. He had a backup plan for everything."

"Of course, my Lady."

"There is a cretin cylinder I want, you know the one." Shonna said watching Orin nod with acknowledgment. "Now go and if you run into any resistance, kill them." She said watching Orin nod and leave the room.

Ulonna came to the door of the small conference room. She stood there for a moment before entering. Memories came flooding back of this room. It was the same room that her mother was murdered in. She slowed her fear and entered.

"We are sending you to Wayland," the admiral started out.

"Have you heard of Mount Curverues?" Mon mothma asked in a soft voice watching Ulonna nod.

"Rumors have brought to our attestation, that Emperor Palptine's store room with in the mountain, is being used as a cloning facility. It must be destroyed," Admiral Ackbar spoke up.

"I was under the impression that it was destroyed." She asked a little confused.

"That's correct, but with these rumors, it's to dangers for us to ignore," the Admiral said again.

"Is their strike team?" Ulonna asked.

"If you wish or not, the risk is still the same," Mon mothma warned.

"Then I will go alone." Ulonna said feeling a little uneasy about this mission.

"As you wish and good luck," Mon mathma said.

"May the force be with you," the admiral wished Ulonna as she left the room.

Two hours later Luke was hastily waiting for the arrival of the shuttle. Standing on the landing pad, Luke waited for Ulonna and Leia to show for the welcoming of the young Jedi children. He found himself pacing, as the Jedi council met with him. Leia and Ulonna were among them.

"Master Luke, I need to speak to you," Ulonna said, but the wind kicked up as the shuttle descended. Their Jedi cloaks rippled in the wind of the powering thrust of the shuttles descent. Luke tried to scream over the landing, but Ulonna couldn't hear him. The landing pad slightly shook when the landing gear met the pad and a loud hiss from the engines shutting down. The door opened and the ramp met the floor. The recruits began to pore out in various ages, but mostly children. Jacen and his wife Tahiri Solo and their newborn son, were among them. Luke turned and walked to the front of the group. Then his voice came over the crowd.

"Welcome to Coruscant. The training you will receive here, will take the utmost discipline and respect and the oaths you will take today are not, to be taken lightly. They will stay with you for the rest of your lives. Now before we enter these doors, there are some rules that need to be laded out: "There will be no fighting. Disagreements will be brought out and discussed. It is forbidden to fraternize, with other Jedi. This is to keep down distractions and confusion." As soon as the words left his mouth, he knew he had made a mistake. His eyes fell on Ulonna. He noticed, that she was no longer, watch him. Her eyes were on the floor. Her mind was swimming for the answers. Leia's eyes also fell to Ulonna and then back to Luke. "What, have you done?" She said under her breath. Luke's eyes met with Leia's. Nothing was said, but Leia knew why. His dreams were steely getting worse. Luke eyes drew back to the recruits and then began to usher them inside. Soon the plat form was quiet Leia and Ulonna were alone.
