StarWars Shadows of the past (revising + adding)

Chapter 25

    Zell's yard was filled with people. They were dancing around the camp fire and having a great time, as the music was being played. Luke and Ulonna sat and watched the rest of her group as they played. They had their guitars and keyboards their drums and Fiddles and were hamming it up. Luke was relaxed and enjoying the moment, but when his arm made a notice he jumped and looked at the Com unit on his resist.

"What is it?" she asked. It made her jump too.

"It's a priory one," he began. "Look stay here I'll go back to the ship find out what's going on."

"If it's a priory one, they need us or they wouldn't have called. It's probably the war."

"That's what I'm thinking," he admitted. Ulonna turned and picked up her clock. He helped her put it on. Calune noticed them and asked what was going on. Jules stopped playing and so did the rest of the group.

"Sorry guys, but we have to cut this short. We just got a priory one message from Coruscant. They're requesting our return. We don't know why yet but we need to leave." she said.

"I sense that you know, what is it?" Calune said stopping them. Ulonna looked at him.

"War," she said plainly.

"War means death," he said under his breath. They turned to leave again. "Ulonna," he called out. "Will you return to us?" he asked. They both stopped, turned, looked at each other and then to Calune.

"We have to fight Cal, I can't promises you that." He looked down at the ground and then back up at her.

"Promises me and I know you will keep your word."

"Cal this is not like you. What is it you feel?" she asked.

"Just promises me," he pleaded.

"Okay, will return in six months." She relented making him feel better. Calune turned and walked away. Ulonna stood there for a moment and then Luke pulled her by the arm.

"Come on, we need to go."

"Well, that just made me uneasy," she said as she started to walk away.

When they reach the ship, Luke had another page. He pushed the batten on the Com unit and the ramp descended for them to enter. Luke ran up the ramp and pushed a button on the consul and the message came through as he sat down in the pilot's chair and listened and watched. Ulonna sat down in the chair next to him. The image on the holocomm was stack and then came in an image. It was Leia, she went on about what was happing on the other side of the galaxy. Her greatest concerns were on twelve sectors that were being threatened. Ulonna came unglued. "Twelve sectors. We don't have enough Jedi for five. It might as well be a million. What are we going to do?" She asked. Luke surged his shoulders and then they heard a voice outside of the ship. They both stood up and looked out the door. "Zen," Ulonna said as she walked down the ramp.

"You're presents in requested by the council for an emergence meeting."

"Zen we have to leave," she said.

"Formally requesting," he repeated himself. Ulonna looked over at Luke.

"Alright," she said as Luke came down the ramp. What is it?"

"I'm not at liberty to say, but you must come with me right now," he demanded.

They followed him back the same way they had, when they first arrived. Into the turbo lift high above the city. They walked into the main chamber of the council. All the members were there. They stood there in the middle of the room, when one of the members spoke.
