Star Wars: Episode XV: Light Of The Rebellion

In an unexpected and daring attack the Rebellion
strikes a devastating blow against the tyrannous New
Republic.  Revolution is breaking  out across the Galaxy,
only kept in check by the still powerful Republic Navy.

On the edge of defeat, the Rebel Fleet is scattered
across a dozen systems.  With most of the rebel
leaders dead, Rey Solo struggles to reunite the fleet
and continue the resistance.

Rey's daughter Jinn Organo, a powerful young Jedi
Knight, fights to escape from the reaches of the
 Republic Navy.  Now, cornered in a distant star system,
she struggles with a band of rebels to evade capture...

Stars, pan down to a barren world with a moon in the distance, suddenly a star destroyer fly's down from overhead, it fires back at the camera, followed by a massive capital destroyer filling the screen as it peruses the fleeing ship.  The ships exchange fire, the smaller destroyer is disabled and drawn into the hold of the larger ship.

scene cuts to a hallway within the super destroyer, Admiral Stark is seen flanked by two officers, storm troopers enter leading a line of prisoners with their hands over their heads, the Admiral looks on with satisfaction, you see Poe, Finn, Mathew and others finally Jinn is seen in the line of prisoners her face contorted with fury.

Stark:  Commander, i'd like to have a word with this one.

A trooper pulls Jinn out of line and brings her before Stark.

Jinn:  So..(Looking down at his insignia) Admiral...your the one in charge of this mess, fine work.

Stark:  Charming to the last.  Tell me, what will it take for you to reveal the location of your
Command ship?  Mind probe?  Truth Serum?  Republic interrogation?  Perhaps...Termination?

Jinn:  You already know I won't break, so get on with it.

Stark:  Very well, Captain, process her with the rest.

Officer:  Yes Sir.

Troopers lead Jinn away, she stares Stark in the eye, silently, her expression full of contained wrath.  He seems bemused.

Scene changes, it is a desert planet, you see the ruins of star a destroyer crashed on the surface.  Presently a woman pushes her way out of the wreckage and emerges, shielding her eyes from the hot sun.  It is Jaina Solo.

Camera pans and you see the wreck of another destroyer not far away.  Jaina start walking toward it.  Another figure can be seen emerging from the wreck.

Jaina:  (To herself)  You're still alive?

She breaks into a run and as the two near each other you see the other figure is Jacen.

Jacen:  You arrogant scumbag!  How dare you...

Jaina doesn't wait for him to finish and leaps at him, igniting her saber with wreckless fury, Jacen ignites his own and the two duel fiercly, then close distance and grapple, they each manage to disarm the other, the two sabers deactivating as they fall.  They wrestle and Jaina takes down Jacen, landing hard on top of him, the two wrestle in the dirt until finally they tired and Jaina rolls away, they lie on the ground staring up at the sky.

Jaina:  What are we doing?

Jacen:  Don't ask me!  I'm defending myself!

Jaina:  I know, I know, look, were trapped here, no allies, no friends, the war is going on without us.

Jacen:  Ya, it is, isn't it.

Jaina:  Alright...look, i'm sorry.  Someone has to say it first.  A lot of this is my fault and i took things way to far.

Jacen:  I'm sorry to, I really was being a pompus ass, I should have listened to you, your my best friend, I don't know how I forgot that.

Jaina:  We just started taking everything for granted.

Jacen: Ya, we really did.

They sit in silence for a few moments.

Jaina:  So... how are we getting off this rock?  We have the wreckage of two destroyers, there has to be some way...

Jacen:  What about rigging up a fake emergency beacon and luring some smugglers here, then hitch a ride!

Jaina:  Ya!  Make it look like a big haul.

Jacen:  Alright, lets start the salvage!  We have a lot of work to do.

They stand up and start walking toward the Destroyer.  Scene cuts, it is the Mayday in deep space, you see a few other cruisers and small ships around it.  Scene cuts to a room, it is a meeting room with a long table, but only Rey is there.  She stands staring out a window looking into space.  Presently Mace and Ara enter.

Mace:  Ma'am?  I'm sorry to bother you...theres a report from our intelligence networks that the Destroyer with Finn, Poe and....Jinn, was captured by the Republic Navy....I'm sorry, I thought you should know.

Rey stands silently for a moment, then turns and looks at Mace who is grim.

Rey:  They have taken everything from us...our hope...our families...

She trails off.

Ara:  We still won a substantial victory, taking down the planetary shield has changed everything!  Revolution is breaking out accross the galaxy and the Republic Navy has pulled most of its fleet back to protect the Inner Core.  Also, we got the Republic Database!  We need to keep publishing that information and it can continue to give our side a significant advantage!

Rey nods, pensive.

Rey:  The problem is still that the people have lost faith in the rebel fleet.  We made a huge mistake in our attack, we should have waited until we were sure the shield was down and then attacked.

Ara:  That would have taken time, the Navy would have swarmed all over the system the second that shield was down.  It was the only way.

Rey:  Well, we didn't need this database...it was a careless mistake!

Ara:  Also worth it, you took a tactical risk and we payed the price, but we also get to utilize the reward!  We cannot let the deaths of all these people be in vain!

Rey:  I agree, but how do we convince people the revolution is a fight we can win?

Ara: ....I'm not sure, but we can!  We have to build the revolution with a long term game plan in mind.

Mace:  Maybe theres a way we can speed up publishing the data base?  Or maybe make some kind of publicity stunt around it?

Rey:  We just don't have the logistics though...

The comm buzzes and Rey presses the button.

Rey:  Yes.

Radio:  Transmission coming in for you Ma'am, it appears to be from the twins Jaina and Jacen Solo!

Everyone looks at each other in surprise.

Rey:  No way.  Patch it through.

Radio:  It's audio only.

Jaina:  Hi Rey, its Jaina, Jacen is here with me.  We just found out about Ben.  I just wanted to say I'm so sorry, sorry for all the terrible and selfish things we did.  We want to make it up to you some how, I don't know where you are, or what you're planning to do, but if you need anything just ask us.  I have left an encrycpted message in this transmission that should lead you to our wearabouts.  Hope to see you soon.

The message ends, they are silent, Rey has a sad look in here eyes.

Mace:  Well?  Should we trust them?  I mean they just caused a civil war across the whole galaxy and tried to kill you multiple times!  Do we just forgive them for that?

Rey:  They are Ben's siblings, I still can't help but think of them as family.  I don't know about forgiveness, but we may need there help.

Mace and Ara nod, Scene changes.  It is the entry way of the Mayday, you see Rey, Mace and Ara walk up to the door.  It opens and Jaina and Jacen enter.

Rey:  Welcome to the Mayday.

Jaina:  Thank you.

Jacen:  We got here as soon as we could.

Rey:  I'm glad, I was actually happy to get your transmission.

Jaina:  I'm so sorry about Ben, I wish I had spent more time getting to know him.

Rey:  Ya, well, you didn't.

Theres and awkward silence.

Rey:  Lets sit somewhere.  Oh, this is Mace and Ara, they are Jedi as well.

Mace and Ara nod to Jaina and Jacen.  The group moves off down the hall.  Scene cuts to the same conference room, Rey, Jaina, Jacen, Mace and Ara all sit around the table.

Jacen:  We heard about everything obviously, but...how exactly did our brother die?

Rey:  Well...we had been detected, it was a running fire fight all the way to the shield generator.  Then three Delta Jedi appeared and we fought together, Plaguies managed to kill two of them before he died, then the last one...killed Ben.  I found out his name, Master Kyrin Zephyr.

Mace and Ara both react with shock.

Mace:  Master Zephyr?

Ara:  Oh my god...

Rey:  You know him?

Mace:  He was one of the headmasters at the Republic Naval Academy.  A real terror.

Rey:  Wow...

Jaina:  Did you kill him?

Rey: .....no, I disfigured him.

Jaina:  Wow...

Rey:  (Suddenly Angry) But I will kill him!

Jaina looks at Jacen and raises and eyebrow.

Jaina:  We'll help!

Rey:  No offence, but this is my kill.  You can't just waltz in here after all these years and earn the right to take revenge for my husband!  Even if you are his siblings!

They are silent for a moment.

Jaina:  Fair enough, I didn't mean to offend.

Rey:  No, I'm sorry, i'm just overreacting.

Jaina:  No you're not, really i get it.

They sit in silence for a moment.

Jacen:  Sooo...whats the plan?

Rey:  The plan?

Jacen:  Ya..like for the revolution!

Rey: ....there is no plan.

Jaina:  What do you mean?  There has to be something?  I figured with everything happening you would be at the center of it all!

Rey:  Not any more.

They sit in silence.  Scene changes. It is the Jedi Council Chamber on Coruscant.  A man with black robes and a golden face mask stands in front of the Council.

Carrow:  Master Zephyr!  I'm glad you could return to us so soon!  When we heard about your terrible injuries we feared you might have a long recovery.

Zephyr:  Thank you Master, I am healing quite quickly.

Carrow:  The tragedy of your disfigurement has rallied us great support among the people for the extermination of these so called rebels.  You also slew the Ancient Sith lord Plagueis and destroyed the most hated enemies of the Jedi!  For that, we are eternally in your debt.  However, with more revolutionary activity breaking out every day we need you back at Delta squadron as soon as possible.

Zephyr:  (Bowing)  I understand.  I am ready.

Carrow:  Good, now go!

He leaves, scene changes.  It is a large office in the Republic Senate building.  A stately looking man sits organizing files on a tablet.  Presently the door buzzes.

Pellion:  Come in.

A man in an admirals uniform enters.  It is Admiral Stark.

Stark:  Chancellor Pellion, thank you for seeing me on such short notice.

Pellion:  Of course!  Sit down, sit down.

Stark:  We have finally managed to neutralize the revolt on Corellia, though I foresee having to keep parts of the fleet deployed there for some time.

Pellion:  (Nodding)  I see, that's acceptable.  We can't allow the Corellian system to fall into chaos, the successful rebellion of such an important system would be seen as a sign that the Republic is no longer capable of defending itself!

Stark:  Indeed.  We believe crushing the rebellion on Corellia should have a dampening effect on the rest of the Galaxy.  The planetary shield on Coruscant may be down for some time, but the rebels have been scattered and destroyed.  We believe they will be unable to manifest a direct threat to Coruscant.

Pellion:  Good, good.  Repairs on the shield generator are moving forward, but it will be off line for a few more months at least.

Stark:  (Shaking his head)  That isn't good, i'll make sure any spare resources the Navy has will be sent to protect Coruscant.

Pellion:  Thank you Admiral.  As long as Martial law remains in place the Senate will continue to defer emergency military power to the Chancellor.  Whatever you need to win this war, i can get you.

Stark:  Thank you Chancellor.

Stark stands and they shake hands, the Admiral leaves and the Chancellor returns to his work.
Scene changes, it is Mace and Ara's quarters in the Mayday.  Ara is laying down on the bed with one arm over her face.  Mace enters.  Ara sits up and looks at him.

Mace:  Hey..sorry if i'm waking you up.

Ara:  No, no, just..meditating.

Mace sits down heavily in a chair, looking exhausted also.  They sit for a moment in silence.

Mace:  I don't think Rey is holding up as well as she's pretending.

Ara:  Ya, definitely, I've never heard her mention Ben's death before just now, ever since the funeral, shes putting on a strong show but...it's just that, a show.


Mace:  I'm not sure we can do anything for her right now.

Ara:  We need to help her keep whats left of the fleet together.  We still have time to take advantage of Coruscant's vulnerability, especially with Jaina and Jacen here...

Mace:  Ya, i don't even know how I feel about those two, with master Piedmonts death on their hands as well as the attack on the Yavin temple.  Let alone how Rey must feel...you heard the things she said.

Ara:  I don't like them much either but they are powerful and seem to genuinely be effected by Ben's death, I think we need to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Mace:  We may not have any other choice.

There is a brief silence.

Mace:  Hey,  I was going to run down to the kitchen and grab a spiced tea if you want one.

Ara:  Sure!  Thanks!

Mace stands up and leans over to Ara, they kiss, then he turns and leaves, it is the ships Galley, a long, steel countered room with server droids here and there going about tasks.  Rey sits at a table in the middle of the room sipping a cup of hot tea.  Presently Jaina enters.

Jaina:  Hey.

Rey:  Hi.

Jaina walks non nonchalantly over to a refrigerator and starts going through it, oblivious to a server droid waiting patiently for her to finish.

Jaina:  Hey, so I was talking with Jacen earlier about having some kind of private memorial for Ben, just the three of us, you know, whats left of his family.

Rey:  (With venom)  "Whats left" of his family?  There's nothing left of his family!

Rey fumes, Jaina stands silently, the droid still whirring patiently behind her.

Jaina:  Look, I'm sorry, I really am, I've...I've done some really terrible things in my life, ignored and abandoned people, hurt...killed people.  But, well, frankly, you and Ben decided to go on that mission, I had nothing to do with it, so, not placing blame here, I think it was suitably noble and heroic, honestly, makes me so proud of him and really wish I had gotten to know him better.  But...well, i can't go back and undo that mistake, but what i can do is help you finish what Ben started.

Rey looks at her with a neutral expression for a few moment.

Jaina:  Look, you don't have to like me, but you have to trust me if we are going to win this fight!

Rey:  I don't trust you...or like you, but there are things you could do to start earning my trust back.

Jaina:  Ok...

Rey:  Starting with never mentioning Ben in my presence again.

Jaina: ...Ok.  I'm sorry.

Rey sits silently, you see Mace enter quietly, glancing warily at the two in obvious confrontation, he quickly pours hot tea from a container and slips back out the door.  Jaina and Rey take no notice of him.

Rey:  We're having a meeting in the war room in an hour, you and your brother should come.

Jaina:  Ok, we will be there.

She stands awkwardly for a moment then turns without another word and walks out.
Scene cuts, it is back in the council chamber, Mace and Ara sit with Rey already looking over notes, a few other Jedi and Rebels are there, Jaina and Jacen presently enter and sit, surveying the proceedings.  Rey looks up.

Rey:  Alright everyone, lets get started.  So, as you know, we are trying to organize an operation to take advantage of Coruscant's lack of energy shield.  This means for at least a few months, we will be able to land troops and supplies on the planet, during this window of opportunity, there are a few basic things we must accomplish.  Our objectives have not changed:  Capture the Senate, capture the Republic Naval Command Center and destroy the Republic Navy.  Of course, I don't have to tell any of you that accomplishing these things with the fleet scattered and destroyed is going to be very difficult.

She looks at Ara and nods.

Ara:  According to our reports, over 70% of the fleet was destroyed, disabled or captured during the battle, this leaves approximately 30 destroyers and an unknown number of smaller ships that escaped the battle.  One of the first priorities we have is to regroup the whats left of the fleet before they become to dispersed or are captured as well.

She pauses for a moment, everyone is silent.

Ara:  Even with the best case scenario, 30 destroyers isn't enough to mount an attack on the fleet or even land troops on Coruscant, which means we need a new plan, to either build a new fleet, or win without one.

There is silence, everyone is thinking.

Jaina:  I have an idea, so, baseline this is going to be a smaller operation than before right?  The chances of getting our hands on any more capital ships is tiny which means whatever happens we will be outgunned be the Republic probably at least 10 to 1.  We need to compensate for lack of conventional firepower!  We need to launch guerrilla style warfare from decentralized groups operating throughout the Galaxy.

Rey:  I see, and how do you suggest we organize this revolution?

Jaina: (Standing)   Propaganda of the deed!

Everyone seems skeptical but slightly amused, no one interrupts.

Jaina:  So one of our big problems is getting people to believe in the rebellion again?  Lets show them what the rebellion is capable of!  Whats more, we can use our acts as instructions to our followers, we launch various kinds of raids and actions against the Republic, then issue messages telling our supporters to follow our tactics!

Rey:  That..might just work actually.

Jaina:  And...if we do it right..we could build an escalating campaign of actions, culminating in capturing Coruscant.

Rey:  That would leave the fleet.

Jacen:  I have a thought on that front.  With the shield down there is no doubt a great amount of the Republic fleet has been recalled to Coruscant to protect the capital world, this means without first either crippling or luring away the fleet there is little chance of a ground attack succeeding.

Mace:  What about sneaking troops in and hiding them among revolutionary citizenry?

Jacen shakes his head.

Jacen:  No...no. Nothing but a full scale invasion will take the Senate, the defenses are to tight.  I personally think our best chance would be to lure the fleet away.

Rey:  How?

Jacen:  By attacking a nearby system, preferably one of the ones with large shipyard facilities, make them decide between losing the shipyards and keeping the fleet at Coruscant for an attack they are not even sure is coming.  They will pull the fleet, and when they do we can make our stand, but away from Coruscant so that the ground invasion has the maximum chance of success.

Rey:  That also makes sense, this is all hinging on getting some portion of the fleet together.

Jacen:  I think we should make rebuilding the fleet our most important priority, we will need all the destroyers we can.

Rey:  Very good.  If its acceptable i'd like to send you and Jaina to rally as many allies as we can in the next few days.  With that done we can start thinking about Jaina's guerrilla campaign, but we are going to need as many allies as we can to get this thing started.  Mace, Ara and the others will start working on preparations and contingencies.

Everyone nods and the meeting breaks up.  Scene changes, it is a planet from orbit.  You see a transport ship jump in from hyperspace, it heads toward the planets surface.  Scene cuts to a seedy looking bar, most of the inhabitants human, some alien.  Presently Jaina and Jacen walk in through the saloon doors.

They stand audaciously in the entry way, unable to not be at the center of attention.  People turn and give them strange looks, but they stand undaunted.

Jacen:  (to the bar)  So, anybody here with the new rebellion?

There is silence.  All eyes turn on the pair.  Then a burly looking man stands from the bar, he looks drunk.

Man:  We don't want anything to do with your revolution, do you know how many good people died in that battle?  How many were captured and await execution?  Their families rounded up and sent to work camps?  Most of us lost everything!  And you want us to come back and rejoin the new rebellion?  Your out of your damn mind!

He storms off past Jacen and Jaina out of the bar, a few follow him and most go back to their drinks.  Jaina and Jacen go to the bar tender and order drinks.  They stand silently together each sipping a shot.  Presently a small man approaches them.

Rebel:  Hi, i'm with a group that's still loyal to the new rebellion.  You are Jiana and Jacen Solo i take it?  I didn't realize you had joined the rebellion.

Jaina:  Yes, recently.  After the war ended.

Rebel:  I see.

Jacen:  We are representing Rey Solo our step sister who is now leading whats left of the fleet, we are looking for any who would join us.

Rebel:  Follow me.

They leave.  Scene changes, it is a camp out in the woods, there are groups of prefab shelters and various humans and aliens going about tasks, they wear Republic uniforms with the insignia stripped off.  Jaina, Jacen and the Rebel from the bar enter.  A group comes to greet them.

Jaina:  Hi, were with the New Rebellion representing Master Rey Solo, we are putting out a call for any still loyal to the rebellion to join what is left of the fleet!

Murdock:  We are loyal, but what assurances do you have that our fate will not be the same as the last time?

Jaina:  I cannot in good faith tell you we do not go on to ultimate defeat, yet, defeat is certain if we do not join together and make a stand!  The shield is down, our attack was not entirely unsuccessful, we have a plan to pull victory from the jaws of defeat!  But we need your help!  All your help!

Murdock:  Very well, I will discuss it with my people, we have 2 destroyers under our command.

Jaina:  Good, I will give you the coordinates of our fleet, meet us there in one week if you decide to join us.

Murdock and the others nod.

Murdock:  There is also another group we have been in contact with, a group of Jedi Knights, The Order of the Blazing Lotus.  They are in hiding in another star system, I can put you in contact with them.

Jaina:  Thank you!

Murdock:  Come this way.

The group walks into the camp.  Scene changes, it is a large, high ceilinged cave, there are lights hanging from fixtures on the roof, illuminating a make shift camp set up in the cave.  There are Jedi going here and there about tasks, moving equipment and supplies or maintain vehicles.   Presently a group enters with Jaina and Jacen, they approach a group of three Jedi in full white and red uniform.

Jedi 1:  Master Orpheon, the visitors have arrived, they wished to speak with you directly.

Orpheon:  Good, welcome Master's Jaina and Jacen Solo, we were honored to receive your transmission.
Jacen:  And we honored to be received so humbly by your people.

Orpheon:  The honor is ours!  We have continued to fight even after the terrible defeat at Coruscant, we are still loyal to the New Rebellion and recognize Rey as its rightful leader.

Jacen:  Good, we were sent here to bring the fleet together in one week, gather your Knights and join us at these coordinates.

He hands Orpheon a data chip.

Orpheon:  We will be ready for battle!  Our fleet is only two destroyers strong, but we have over 3000 fighters!

Jacen:  Very good, we will look forward to your arrival with great expectation.  May the force be with you.

Orpheon:  And with you.

Scene changes.  Jaina and Jacen are walking alone on a desert planet, working their way down a valley.

Jaina:  I sure hope this is worth it.

Jacen:  It will be, Rey made me promise not to come back until we had found them.

Jaina:  Well, at least its the last stop on our list.

Jacen: (Stopping) Look, there's something shining in the valley ahead.

Indeed a flash of some metallic item is visible.

Jaina:  That could be it...

Suddenly figures burst from the sand, light sabers igniting from their hands, others are seen on the tops of the dunes with rifles clearly visible, pointed at the two.  They put their hands up.

Jacen:  Woah, woah!  Were here to talk!  Don't shoot!
The fighters wear a mishmash of various kinds of armor and sport mostly Mandalorian style helmets.  One of them puts away his saber and pulls off his helmet, revealing black tiger stripe facial tattoos, he steps forward.

Jargoss:  I am Jargoss of the Maulist coalition.  Who are you?  Speak quickly or we will cut out your toungues!

Jaina:  We are Jaina and Jacen Solo, representatives of Rey Solo, leader of the New Rebellion!

Jargoss:  The New Rebellion?  The fleet was destroyed was it not?

Jaina:  Not completely!  It is regrouping.

Jargoss turns and waves his hand at the other fighters, they lower their weapons and retract their blades.

Jargoss:  The fleet is regrouping!  When the battle turned we feared all had been lost!  Then the news of Plagueis's death reached us and we went into hiding.  You say Rey Solo leads the fleet now?  Who is this, I have never heard her name, though your names and the name of Solo is of course familier to me.

Jaina:  Shes the inheritor of the the Yavin Temple Jedi's teachings.  She fought personally beside

Plagueis and is the only survivor of the ground mission which destroyed the shield generator on Coruscant.

Jargoss:  She sounds like a worthy leader.  We will join this new fleet!  Tell us where and when to find you.

Jaina hands him a data chip.

Jaina:  This will tell you everything you need to know.

Jargoss:  (Bowing)  May you drown in the blood of your enemies.

Jaina:  (Bemused)  And may you!

Scene cuts, it is space, you see the Mayday, but now there are five other destroyers and many other smaller ships, presently two more destroyers jump in from hyper space.
Scene cuts to the war room on the Mayday.  Rey is there with Mace, Ara, Jaina, Jacen and various other rebels.  They are working on various tablets and having several small discussions.  Presently Rey's comm beeps and a she pushes the button.

Rey:  Yes?

Radio:  Two more destroyers have just arrived, they say they are Jedi knights with the order of the blazing lotus.

Rey:  (Nodding)  Good, good, tell them to send representatives to the Mayday as soon as possible.

Radio:  Yes ma'am.

Mace:  That's almost everyone.

Ara:  I hope it's enough, were going to be putting a lot of this into Jaina and Jacen's hands.

She gestures behind her as she says this where you see Jaina and Jacen conversing with some of the other rebels.

Rey:  It should be enough, those two actually did a fantastic job rounding up this many so quickly.

Mace:  Ya, I just hope they keep their heads in the game...

Rey:  We will just have to keep an eye on them.

Ara:  Shouldn't be to hard, they love being the center of attention.

They share a quick smile, then look up as the doors open and three of the blazing lotus Jedi enter.

Rey: (Standing)  Hello, welcome to this council, and to the rebel fleet.

Orpheon:  Greetings, the blazing lotus stands with the new rebellion still!

Rey:  Thank you, if everyone can find seats we are ready to begin.  (She moves to the front of the room)  As many of you know, we have as yet insufficient fire power and personnel to wage another direct attack on Coruscant or on the Republic Navy.    However, our team has been working tirelessly on an alternative that will buy us the political and physical capital we need to rally a new fleet capable of carrying out our ultimate objectives.  It involves launching a series of public relations oriented operations, ramping up in scope and impact until we are ready to move on Coruscant and the Navy.  Now that we have rallied our surviving allies, we have enough force to undertake the first part of the plan, a mission being organized by the twins Jaina and Jacen Solo.
She turns and steps aside, Jaina and Jacen step forward.

Jaina:  Thank you.  So. What we have in mind is an operation large enough to register as a major crime on the inner worlds and gain Galaxy wide media attention.  The other objective is to use the resources gained from the crime in order to provide for the struggling masses of people in the Republic, the people who's support we desperately require.  What we need to do is show the people that the Rebellion is alive and powerful, and that it understands the problem and actively helps them in a material way.

She pushes a remote and a screen on the wall comes to life, it shows the planet Coruscant, then zooms down to the surface in a large urban center and highlights a large building.

Jaina:  The Mercantile Associate Credit Union's headquarters and main vault.  (There is a murmur in the room as people realize the target).  As many of you know, this is one of the most heavily guarded facilities in the New Republic, however, though it constitutes a high risk, it is one of the only targets which fulfills all the criteria, being big enough to have the cash we need and high profile enough to make Galactic news if it get knocked over.

She is silent for a moment, then clicks the remote again, this time a schematic of the building is shown.

Jaina:  The vault is on the third basement level, protected by a series of blast proof doors, DNA scanners, motion detectors, particle detectors, sound detectors and worst of all an entire unit of Special forces assigned to guard the facility.

People look skeptical, someone whistles.

Jaina:  This should be no problem for professional soldiers like us.  We have huge resources and experience, a dozen destroyers and 10,000 troops.  If we succeed, we will have enough money to upgrade all our equipment and weapons as well as donate what we need to get the people on our side.

Rebel:  Whats the payoff?

Jaina:  (Beaming with excitement) seven..hundred..million Republic Talents.

Rebel:  Hundred million!
Jaina:  (Nodding)  That's right, with that kind of resources we can keep the revolution funded indefinitely.

People are stunned silent.

Jaina:  Now...to explain the plan, my brother Jacen.

She steps back and Jacen steps forward.

Jacen:  We're looking at a multi stage operation here.  We're going to need to infiltrate a few agents to Coruscant first and do recon and other ground laying type activities, establishing a safe house, stable transportation, ect.    Then we move on to phase two, full scale preparation, were going to need at least two hundred troops and other specialists on Coruscant to pull this off, that means at least a few days of covert transportation in best case scenario.  Once everything is in place...we move to phase three, execution.  We have only a subtle idea of exactly how this will take place, contingent upon further information learned from direct surveillance of bank operation.  However we do know a few basic things.  We will need extensive password access and hard DNA from a high clearance bank employees to pass the vault doors, let alone set foot in the vault without triggering the myriad of sensors.  From our preliminary intelligence, the vault itself is only accessible by droid, meaning we will have to somehow intercept the package or packages as they are delivered before the sensors realize what is happening.  This means hacking the banks security system and having the droids deliver us the cash bundle by bundle until we have what we need.  Then, we escape hopefully without detection, but we have a few hundred soldiers standing by just incase things go south.

 He is silent.

Rebel:  What about getting that DNA and the codes?  What about hacking the droids?  How is this all supposed to fall together?

Jacen:  We have a variety of specialists on hand!

Rebel:  We need a solid plan before any action can be made!

Rey:  (Angry)  We need to act with speed and aggression, or the initiative we have sacrificed so much to gain will be lost!

The room is silent.

Rey:  We need this to happen.  I'm sending Jaina and Jacen ahead with a small group to perform surveillance and establish a preliminary headquarters.  Anyone who disagrees, feel free to pull your support from the mission, otherwise we will send you a communication when our preparations are complete.

Everyone sits quietly.  Rey stands and walks out of the room.  Everyone looks at each other and then one by one they follow her.

Scene changes, it is an observation deck, Rey stands alone, her arms wrapped around herself, staring out over the large windows into the abyss of space, the stars shine brightly.  Presently Mace enters.

Mace:  Master Solo...I'm sorry to disturb you.

Rey turns.

Rey:  Mace, no, it's fine.  Is everything prepared for the mission?

Mace:  Yes, most of the groups have agreed to go along.  Jaina and Jacen will be departing in a few hours for Coruscant.

Rey:  Good...
There is an awkward silence.

Rey:  I'm sorry, for how I behaved today, at the meeting.  I just...this sense of desperation built up inside my body, it was such a physical thing, something I couldn't control or push away, a desperate urge to make sure Ben..and Plaugueis didn't die in vain...and..Jinn...

She starts shaking and then puts her hands over her eyes.

Rey:  Why did they they have to capture her?  Of all the things?  Why couldn't she just have stayed on the Mayday with Alexander?  Instead...shes...oh god..

Mace stands awkwardly, unsure what to do, then he moves forward and hugs Rey who embraces him back.

Rey:  God damn it.

Mace: I know..I know..Just a little longer...you know what Jaina and Jacen are planning.

Rey:  I know.....just the thought of her in their hands...I can't...

They stand hugging for a few more moments then release each other and step back.  Rey turns and looks back out over the starscape.

Rey:  Please, make sure this works, i'm counting on it.

Mace:  I know, we're doing everything we can.

Rey:  (Turning to face him again)  I know you are, thank you...so much.

They stand for a moment, then Mace bows.

Mace:  I need to be going ma'am, may the force be with you.

Rey:  And with you.

Scene change, it is in orbit of Coruscant, presently you see a shuttle jump into orbit.  Cut to the bridge of the shuttle, Jaina and Jacen sit at the controls, they seem casual and relaxed.

Jaina:  Setting coordinates.

Jacen:  Wow..beautiful, I haven't seen her in a while...

Jaina:  Ya...it's nice, it will be nice to be home..see the sights.

Jacen:  You know we can't just go wandering around!  Rey was very specific, we need to stay in the safe house and make contact with our allies.

Jaina:  (Incredulous)  And your doing it Rey's way?  Come on!

Jacen:  Oh god here we go again.

Jaina:  Alright alright, i'm sorry, i don't mean to talk over you, i'm just worried about doing this by the book, I think it's a great plan!  But lets me honest, its our plan!  And Rey entrusted us to carry it out, just the two of us!  So we have to play this thing by instinct if we want any reasonable chance of success.

Jacen: (Regarding her warily)  Well, I can't really help but agree I guess, to be honest Rey really isn't inspiring me, I know losing Ben effected her but she doesn't have much follow through on command.  Without us, she'd be floating in space...

Jaina:  That's not true.  I know we offer her a great deal but I can tell you for sure she would be out there fighting for the rebellion even if we hadn't come along.

Jacen:  You know that so surely?

Jaina:  I do!

Jacen:  Then why are you suggesting we disobey her direct orders?

Jaina:  Because... she just lost her husband and her daughter, i for one wouldn't be half as strategic and calm as she is, shes a god damn saint as far as i'm concerned.

Jacen: ...Ok..your right.

Jaina:  But...she is wrong about a few things, and one of them is not trusting us to carry out this mission how we feel is necessary, so I'm going to do this our way, but I'm going to do it in the name of Rey Solo, the New Rebellion and Rescuing her daughter and our allies.

Jacen:  ...Well...ok, I'm on board, just...don't do anything crazy ok?

Jaina:  Hey, I said we would do it our way!

Jacen:  (Bemused)  That's exactly why I said that.

Scene cuts to orbit as the shuttle speeds toward Coruscant.  Then cuts to a street in a busy district of Coruscant, you see Jaina and Jacen making their way down the street.

Jaina:  Lets go to the Magnolia club!

Jacen:  Are you serious?  That was THE bar we went to back in the day.  They would recognize us in a second!

Jaina:  So?   Wouldn't that help attract our allies?

Jacen:  Ya, but also our enemies!

Jaina: We can handle it!

Jacen:  I knew this was a bad idea.

Jaina:  All right, come on, its just around the corner!

Jacen:  (Exasperated)  Fine!  Just one drink!

Jaina:  Ok!

Scene cuts to a crowded but somewhat seedy looking bar, Jaina and Jacen enter and go unnoticed as they find a spot at the bar, each ordering drinks.

Jaina:  Hey! This is great!  (Raising shot)  To the New Rebellion!

Jacen:  (Nervous)  Would you keep it down!

Jaina:  Sorry, I mean, come on ,  (Jaina stands and raises her glass, shouting) Down with the Republic!

There is a cheer throughout the bar, people raise their glasses and shout in praise.  Jaina returns to her seat amid the commotion and grins at Jacen who sits silently.

Jaina:  See...i told you coming here was a good idea.

Jacen:  You idiot.  You know the Republic is surely on its way!

Jaina:  But the rebels will find us first.  Come on.

Jacen shakes his head, turning, he calls the bartender droid for another round of drinks.  Presently, a woman approaches them, she is small with shocking eyes and a mischievous smile, a little younger than Jaina and Jacen, she wears casual Coruscant garb but in such a way as to indicate comfortably in great wealth.  For this reason she imedietly draws the attention of Jaina and Jacen.

Karona:  Your Jaina and Jacen Solo are you not?

Jaina:  Well...yes.

Karona:  (Laughing slightly) You really came back here?  You know your two of the most wanted people in the republic?

Jaina:  Well, ya, i guess, but we have work to do.

Karona:  Well, I hope its important, because the Republic is on its way here right now i can almost guarantee it.  That was quite an outburst.

Jacen:  Told you.

Karona:  Look, there's not much time, but if your serious about what you say, come this way, there's a secret door behind the bar, we can get out into the alley.

Jaina:  Wow, ok, lets go!

As if to answer her warning, four Republic storm troopers enter the bar.

Karona:  Come on!

They slip behind the bar and she hits a panel, a small passage slides open and the three slip inside, it closes behind them.  The bartender moves to stand in front of the doorway.

Scene cuts, the three of them are walking down a back street in Coruscant, laughing and talking, Jaina holds a half empty bottle.

Korona:  What were you planning to do if I hadn't come along?  Start a shoot out in the place?

Jacen:  Well, we have lightsabers...

Karona:  (Laughing)  Of course, so much better...you know your really lucky.

Jaina:  Thank you for your help, what did you say your name was.

Karona:  Didn't, its Karona...Pellion.

Jaina:  Pellion?  Like..the Chancellor?

Karona:  (Sighing) Yes...one and the same, infact, hes my father.

Jaina:  No!

Karona:  Yes.  I know, don't worry, It's been years since we talked.

Jacen:  Well, wow your full of surprises.

Karona:  And you just throw everything out there with no regard for  anyone's safety...including your own!

Jacen:  We are Jedi.

Karona:  So am I!

They look at her in surprise.  She shrugs her arms and smiles maliciously.

Karona:  Graduated top of my class at the Academy, could have made Delta if i wanted, but...I knew better than that.  Went corporate.

Jacen:  Well...thats amazing!

Karona:  Ya, it's not that great, considering my father pretty much pulls the strings behind the scenes to get me in to anything, whether i like it or not.  I can't really feel my accomplishments are my own...

Jacen:  Come on, I mean once you were in the Academy you passed on your own merits right?

Karona:  Ya, i guess your right, still, I've had a lot of opportunity.

Jacen:  But you said you hadn't spoken to your father in years!  That means you have been living on your own with the skills you learned for a long time, you have a lot to be proud of!

Karona:  (Blushing slightly)  Well, I guess you got me there!  I don't know, it's easy to find work as a highly trained Jedi!

Jacen:  Well, I just wouldn't want you looking down on yourself, I...I'm sure you know what me and my sister have done...

Karona:  Ya, its seriously incredible!  You two had fleets under your command, and all to fight each other!  Now your both standing here in front of me as allies, in fact, just the three of us, drinking buddies!

Jaina passes her the bottle and smiles at her.

Karona:  So...in all seriousness, what are you doing here?

Jacen:  Just robbing a bank.

Karona spits out a mouthful of liquor and Jaina gives him a sharp reprimanding look.

Karona:  Excuse me?

Jacen:  Ya, for the rebellion, and to distribute among the people.

Karona:  Well...what bank?  If you don't mind me asking?  (She glances nervously at Jaina who shrugs and nods at Jacen)

Jacen:  Mercantile Associate Credit Union

Karona:  You are not serious....

Jaina:  I'm afraid we are dead serious.

Karona:  Well, you certainly are brave...I'm in!

Jacen:  What??

Karona:  You heard me, your robbing one of the biggest banks in the Republic, I want in!

Jaina:  Hold on, you may have gotten us out of that bar, and you may be the daughter of the Chancellor of the Republic, but who are you to jump in on such a highly dangerous mission?

Karona:  I've spent many years as a thief, thank you very much, not to mention my Jedi training, and my access to high society.

Jacen and Jaina exchange looks, Jacen shrugs with a "Why  not?" look.

Jaina:  Ok...well, if you really have the skills and connections you claim to, you might come in usefull!

Karona:  You're damn right i'll be useful!

She swigs from the bottle and passes it to Jacen.

Jaina:  Hey, lets walk by the canal!  It's like a block away!

Jacen:  (Glancing at street signs)  Oh your right!  The moons are out to.

Karona:  Oh awesome!  Come on lets go!

The three move off.  Scene cuts to a wide canal running through the commercial center, Its slow waters reflecting the three glowing white moons.  You see Jaina, Jacen and Karona walking along the edge of the Canal.

Jacen:  So why are you helping us anyway?  You could still get in trouble for sneaking us out of that bar.

Karona:  No, no i couldn't.  Not with my status, trust me, i could get away with basically anything.  But, i would have done it any way, at least i'd like to think so!  I just thought Jaina's outburst was really funny!  The two of you are...(She blushes slightly) Interesting!

Jacen:  Well i'm glad you think so!

The walk in silence for a moment, you see Jaina finish the last of the bottle.

Karona:  So...what brought you from fighting in a war against each other to now joining the rebellion and ending up on Coruscant robbing a bank?  Just out of curiosity...

Jacen:  Well...

Jaina:  We had a few disagreements, and members of high society took advantage of our fight to start an all out war.  Eventually we became irreverent to the wider struggle and decided to stop fighting and seek out our brother, that's when we learned he had died and so we joined the rebellion to avenge his death and help Rey, who is our family now.

Karona:  I see...

Jacen:  I do really feel bad about starting the war...

Karona:  The Industrial guild and the Royal Family have been preparing for this war for decades, you two just gave them an excuse, not that it excuses your actions, but just to say I don't blame your for those peoples deaths.

Jacen:  We killed a lot of people.

Karona:  I've killed before, like i said, I used to be a thief, mostly we would go into the outer rim just for pleasure runs, see what we could find.  Occasionally got into trouble with scavengers or bounty hunters, so, I've killed more than a few people.  I did a lot of things I regret.

Jacen:  I see...

Jaina:  We actually do have a lot in common.  You're basically describing our 20's and 30's.

Jacen:  Ya pretty much.

Karona:  Oh, i have heard tell of your exploits!  You two are infamous, you know!

Jaina:  (Drawing herself up)  Oh, we know.

Jacen:  (Laughing)  Oh come on, we just inherited our titles from our parents!

Karona:  No, no!  It's way more than that!  People love anti heroes!  And you two are prefect!  The story of your survival on Imperial occupied Coruscant at the age of 15!    And how you found light sabers and joined in the resistance!

Jacen:  All while letting our little brother be ravaged by the wolves....

Karona:  You were kids, you didn't even know Ben was missing!

Jacen:  It's true...

Karona:  Well, i did say you were anti hero's!  I still think your cool...

Jacen:  You...you make me want to be a better person.

Karona:  (With a Bemused Smile)  Oh, do I?  And why is that?

Jacen:  You just seem, like you care about people...

Karona:  (Stepping toward him)  Well, i do care about people, and, I do think its pretty cool your helping the new rebellion, maybe you have inspired me to.

Jacen:  (surprised)  Oh?

Karona: Definitly

She steps forward again, they stand for a moment facing each other, eyes locked, then kiss passionately, Jaina stands silent this whole time watching with a bemused expression.  They kiss for a few moments then pull back, still holding hands.

Jacen:   I..we..should probably get going..will i see you again?

Karona:  I hope your planning to invite me to join your mission, and, (blushing) Yes i really want to see you again!

Jacen:  Yes!  We can give you the address of our safehouse, come by in the morning, there is a crew of rebels arriving tomorrow afternoon, we can introduce you!

Karona:  Wow, thank you for trusting me!

Jacen:  Well, you did save us.

Karona smiles and they kiss again.

Jacen:  Here let me give you the address!

He pushes buttons on a small pad and hands it to her.

Karona:  Thanks, I'll be there first thing in the morning!

Jacen:  Great!

They part, going separate ways, Jaina giving him a smile but not saying anything as they walk down the canal way toward the safe house.  Scene changes, it is morning in the safe house, in the common room you see Jaina looking tired but awake, she is pouring herself a hot drink as a server droid prepares breakfast.  The buzzer rings.  Jaina walks to the door and presses the button, it slides open with a hiss.  It is Karona.

Karona:  Hey...I hope i'm not to early...

Jaina:  (Sleepy)  No..no... got coffee....the droid...breakfast.

Karona:  Great, no worries, is Jacen up?

Jaina:  Nope!

Karona:  Ah ha.

Presently Jacen enters from another room, pulling on a shirt.

Jacen:  Hey, i'm up!

Karona:  Hey!

They stand awkwardly for a moment, neither sure what to do.  Then Karona moves forward and they embrase and kiss, Jaina ignores them, getting her breakfast ready, Karona and Jacen sit on a coach, Jaina joins them, eating and drinking.

Jaina:  Well, this day is off to a start!

Karona:  It sure is, last night was crazy!

Jacen:  It was, what a great time!

Jaina:  I did tell you it would be worth hitting the Magnolia!

Jacen:  I gotta give it to you, you were right!

Jaina:  I was!  Now!  On to business!  (She sips her coffee dramatically)  We have a lot of details to work out and I think we should take care of as many of them as possible before the rest of the squad arrives.  To put it bluntly, this is not going to be easy.  There are some good reasons Rey wanted us to keep silent and secret, stay out of sight and on our toes.  One word of this robbery gets out and there is a good chance we will be facing a number of unknown security measures thrown up overnight. Now we have a labyrinth to deal with, but at least one which we have the map to and can overcome in theory.

She pauses and drinks more coffee.

Karona:  How are you trying to...

Jaina:  Please hold all questions until the end!

Karona looks at Jacen with a bemused expression, Jacen shrugs.

Jaina:  As I was saying, we have a number of details to work out, so lets go over what they are before we any questions!  First, of course, we have to get in the building without being seen.  This means a pretty standard operation of hacking the input terminals and feeding a virus into the security mainframe.  Its pretty basic stuff and we have hardcore tech to back it up.  So once our tech has hacked the security feeds, we need to get into the building and occupy a data room, now, there are over 200 data rooms in the facility, we need to find the one least likely to be checked or maintained and use that one.  Once we are in the data room, we can hack the mainframe and commandeer the system.  However, then we need to infiltrate the vault itself.  This means bypassing the security doors using DNA authentication, avoiding sound, movement and heat sensors, and getting 4 bundles of money out the door without interrupting the pressure sensors on the receivers.  Because the system is entirely automated, the vault can only be accessed by droids who move funds in and out of the vault.  We will have hacked the system so getting the droids to bring money out of the vault will be no problem, what will be difficult is tricking the weight sensors.

Again she pauses and sips her coffee, Jacen and Karona are silent.

Jaina:  So, as you might have guessed, we need to sneak into the superstructure and intercept the bundles before they are dropped on the weight sensors, we have to replace them with fake bundles of the same weight, otherwise the alarms go off.  Basically, if we make any mistake the alarms go off.  We put to much pressure on the floor.  Move to fast.  Make to much noise.  Give off to much heat.  Anything.  And, if the alarm is triggered, there is a full team of special forces standing by right in the fascility and they will be on us in less than a minute.  Not to mention Coruscant Police and Republic Troops which will be arriving shortly.  So, basically, we can't trigger any of the alarms, or mess up switching out the bags as we are taking them from the droids.   So...anyway, that should give you the gist of what we are up against.

She sips her coffee again.

Karona:  Wow, well, that's a really long shot.

Jaina:  No it isn't.  Not with the kind of tech, personnel and resource we have.  It's at least a good chance.

Jacen:  It's going to be difficult.

Karona:  Well, I didn't say I thought we couldn't do it!  I just said it would be hard!  If what your implying is true, you have at least some idea of how to mitigate all these obstacles...otherwise we wouldn't be here.

Jaina:  Your right, we do!  As I mentioned before, we have access to some of the most sophisticated hacking tech out there!

She reaches into a bag and pulls out a small metallic object, thumbing  a button it springs to life, small metallic legs and arms pop out and red lights whir to life across its surface, to looks about the room with many eyes.

Karona:  A data spider!  How did you get one of those?
Jaina:  It's a long story...

Spider:  Hello, I am data spider XT-51 at your service.

Karona:  My name is Karona!  It's a pleasure to meet you!

Spider:  It is a pleasure to meet you to Karona!

Jiana:  (Laughing a bit)  Alright, lets keep our focus, (She turns off Spider) so we can get into the outer layers of the computer system by hacking the hardline, but to get full access we need to be in the data room plugging spider directly into the core.

Karona:  (Nodding)  Got it, so after that?

Jaina:  Well, that's when we need to get through the security doors, even getting down to the vault level is difficult, we need the DNA of someone who has clearance, we also need a 12 digit security code which is changed regularly.

Karona:  So we need to get ahold of someone with access, say the bank director?

Jaina:  That's going to be a challenge to pull off, if anyone find out something is going on we are toast.

Karona:  That's why the manager is the best pick, if we hold him hostage we can force him to tell the employees everything is fine.

Jacen:  True, but what if he doesn't play ball?

Karona:  Oh, he will, I happen to know who he is, he's a soft type, put in the position he is because he can be controlled.

Jaina:  I see...well...what do you have in mind?  You're the expert on Coruscant high society, how do we get close to him?

Karona:  Well, i'd say our best shot is catching him when he's on his way somewhere, intercept his private speeder, or grab him off the street when he steps out.

Jacen:  The first option is probably a safer bet, as we get to set the time and place of the engagement, where as if we grab him, he will be surrounded by maximum security and be at highest alert at that moment.

Jaina:  Ya, that makes sense, so what, we crash a speeder to block the road and then grab him, cuff him and run him out an ally to the next block where a speeder will be waiting?

Jacen:  Basically that sounds right.

Jaina:  Well..ok.  So...that solves that problem, now we come to the next thing, once were on the vault level, we have to deal with the lasers, pressure sensor, sound sensors and heat sensors.  We have shadow suits to use, but it's still going to require great care and effort.

Karona:  Ah, shadow suits, they block your body heat and absorb sound?

Jaina:  Right, me and Jacen have extensive training, if we take our time we should be able to pass the vault room and enter this access panel here (Pointing to a scematic), now, the sensors aren't so sensative here and we will be able to move a little faster, we crawl through the ducts until we reach this point where we will be on a catwalk hanging over the utility passage the droids will pass through.  All we do is reach down, grab the money and replace it with another bag of equal weight, which oh ya we need to be able to do all this while carrying bags in and out, no problem.

Karona:  Wow, this really is going to be a challenge...you're sure you are up for it.

Jaina:  Of course!  I've done much crazier things before, trust me!

Jacen:  We will be fine, like I said we have extensive training in everything required.

Karona:  Still, there's a lot that could go wrong, what about random security checks?  Or droid patrols?  Or...well. anything?

Jaina:  There are all those things, and of course we can't be sure of avoiding them, but I think we can handle any situation that might arise, including being detected and having to fight off the whole garrison, that's why Jacen and I are the ones going in.

Karona:  Ok, I trust you!

Jaina:  So...now we need to figure out when this bank manager is going to be driving across the city and exactly when and where he will be.

Karona:  That's right up my alley!  There is a monthly fund raising event for my fathers political campaign, for some reason they invite me to these things even though I haven't seen him in years.  This could really come in handy, he should be there and I can get in easily!  I just have to avoid my father....

Jaina:  How are you planning to get the information?

Karona:  I'll pick his pocket, once i get his datapad, i should be able to download it onto a chip in a few seconds and return the pad before he even notices.

Jaina:  (Nodding)  Ok, you sure you can do this without being caught?

Karona:  Come on, you ask me to trust you about the vault, trust me about this, it's my specialty!

Jaina:  Ok...well, we have to keep working on these schematics, we need to know the optimum rout to the data room and some other details.

Karona:  Ok, lets get to it, when did you say the rest of the team will be here?

Jaina:  A few hours still..

Karona:  OK.

They start working on a screen, Scene cuts, it is still the apartment, the three are there still but it is obvious some time has passed.  The door buzzes.  Jaina steps forward and presses the button, the door whirs open, revealing a half dozen people in casual Coruscant garb, one with a hood pulled closely over her head to obscure her obvious Maulist tattoos.

Jaina:  Come in, come in.

They all enter, the Maulist removes her hood and they look around.

Jaina:  Everyone, this is our friend Karona, she is an expert social manipulator and hacker

The all nod to her in greeting.  A middle aged man with long hair and a beard speaks to Jaina.

Norean:  Good, Rey wanted me to update you, the team is on schedule to be completly in place in two weeks, shes giving you the decision of when to launch the mission at any time after that point.

Jaina nods.

Jaina:  Excellent, that fits with our schedule, we have a great amount of the plan already worked out.

Norean:  Oh?  That's good to hear!  Don't tell me i came all this way just to be bord?

Jaina:  Ohhhh.. that I can guarantee you will not be the case.

Scene cuts to a wider shot of the groups mingling, Scene cuts to a fancy estate on Coruscant, party guests in rich looking clothes are making their way toward a large entry way.  You see Karona appear, this time dressed to the hilt.  She makes her way forward and is allowed to enter the party.
Scene cuts to inside the main high ceiling room, there are long tables with a large area in the middle for dance, though right now everyone is mingling and talking, server droids hurry here and there with trays of drinks.  There is an obvious hierarchy at work, certain tables are the centers of power for various elite interests, known only to Karona and the other guests but not visible on the surface.  What is visible are the tables where a few high class individuals seem to manage a large scene of people competing for their attention.    These scenes meld into the wider dynamic, creating a complex and flowing environment, one in which Karona swims as easily as a fish in its ocean realm.
You see her navigating around, greeting and bowing to various lords or other nobles, her eyes always darting this way and that, she is working her way toward a table where a group of men are jovially talking, camera focus's in on one of them, a thin mustached man, clearly he has had a little to much to drink but is not far ahead of the others.

Karona hovers around the table, making small talk, always watching the man, seeing him pull out a datapad, enter something and replace it.  Finally, he stands and starts toward the restroom, Karona springs into action, she turns as if distracted and walks directly into the man, her hand finding the data pad and moving it deftly into her own pocket, she pretends to stumble and you see her fit a small chip into the pad.

Karona:  Oh, excuse me!  I'm so sorry!  Are you alright?

Manager:  Oh, yes, its nothing young lady!  I'm sorry I seem to have spilled your drink!

Karona:  Oh but I've ruined your jacket!  She runs her fingers over the stain now on his sleeve, at the same time she replaces the pad into his pocket, he is totally oblivious.

Manager:  No problem, its really nothing, ill just go and change.

Karona:  I am sorry

The man hurry's off, scene cuts to Jaina sitting in the safe house at a terminal, the rest of the crew is hanging around.

Jaina:  She did it!  Downloading....got it!  Now get out of there...

You see Karona hurrying toward the exit, suddenly, Chancellor Pellion steps into her path.

Pellion:  So...you decided to show up again after all these years, and you didn't even bother to come say hi...

Karona:  Dad....I...

Pellion:  Don't say anything, I don't need to hear any more from you!

Karona:  Wait...I...I didn't come see you because, I got nervous, and, it's just been so long, I was scared, scared you would reject me....

Pellion:  Oh Karona...you are a terrible lier still.

Karona looks up at him, for a moment there is fear he knows about the heist, then she controls her emotions.

Karona:  You're right, of course.  I... I came because I wanted to find someone...A guy...

Pellion:  Of course...

Karona:  But...I'm glad that I came, because now that I see you, I realize how much...I miss being a family...I..just miss mom I guess...

Pellion:  Of course, I know how hard it was after she passed...I ...don't really blame you for leaving...I was...cruel.

Karona:  We both were.  Maybe we can move past this.  I want to see you, maybe have breakfast in the next few days?

Pellion:  Just show up whenever you want, I'll be here waiting.

Karona:  Thanks dad, I should get going.

Pellion:  I love you.

Karona: ...I love you to.

She leaves, Pellion stands for a moment and then walks off.  Scene changes.
It is the safe house, the door buzzes and Karona enters, she seems distracted.

Jaina:  Hey!  Good work!  We already analyzed the data and have a couple good options for the grab location....You ok?

Karona:  I...ran into my father...I managed to come up with a reason why I was there but it was close, I should have been more ready.

Jacen:  (Going forward to her)  It's ok, there isn't any way you could have been ready for something like that...

Karona:  (Embracing him)  I know...I just. for a moment actually regretted everything thats happened, then I remember how much terror he put me and my sister through and I can't forgive him, even after losing our mother, it doesn't excuse it!

Jacen:  No, it doesn't.

They stand together for a few moments the rest of the team awkwardly trying not to watch.

Jaina:  Well, we have work to do, so lets get to it!

Scene cuts, It is a shot of the banking district of Coruscant at night, you see a speeder moving down a busy road, then it turns down another.  Scene cuts to inside the speeder, the Bank Manager sits in the back while a driver is up front.

Manager:  (Into comm)  Well...tell them the accounts are just going to have to stay frozen until the next payment.....no...there isn't anything else we can do for them..I understand...look, I know they are some of our biggest clients but procedure cannot be ignored..no..ok..

He sits back and sighs.

Manager:  (To driver)  Damn mining guild wants access to their stock holdings before the period is even up!  This is a bank not a damn speculation agency.

Driver:  Yes sir.

The manager sits back looking out the window, you see through the front of the car a bunch of bright lights flashing, the speeder slows.

Driver:  There's something up ahead, looks like an accident.

The manager sits up and tries to squint to see through the glass, suddenly without warning the car is surrounded by masked blaster wielding soldiers, a blast welder is cutting through the side door.  The driver draws a blaster pistol but the door is pulled off its hinges and the two are roughly pulled out of the car, the driver disarmed and unceremoniously dumped, the manager is blindfolded, cuffed and quickly loaded into a speeder which zooms off.  The operation takes only a few moments.
Scene cuts to the safe house, you see the group enter with the manager still blindfolded, they sit him in a chair and pull of the blindfold, he looks around the room in fear.

Jaina:  Hello, cooperate and you have nothing to fear, don't cooperate and...well...I don't have to say it do I?

The man shakes his head no.

Jaina:  Don't worry about seeing our faces either, were already wanted rebel terrorists, so once we get away you can tell whatever you want to the authorities, got it?  No reason to play hero...

The man nods.

Jaina:  This is what we need from you:  We need samples of your DNA, blood, spit, skin ect.  We also need you to tell us what the twelve digit code for the vault will be tomorrow morning.  If you don't or if you tell us the wrong code...well...we wont kill you, but what we dump in the street tomorrow night will closer resemble raw steak than man, and the rest of you, well, the rest of you we will mail to your friends in little pieces.  Got it?

The man is shaking but nods again.

Jaina:  Ok, here's a pad, enter the code.

The man enters a number and Jaina glances down and nods.

Jaina:  Axel, get his DNA.

A rebel goes to the man and starts taking samples, Scene cuts, Jaina is standing by the canal later that night, you see two of the moons reflected in its surface.  Jacen walks up presently.

Jacen:  Wow, you really scared the piss out of that guy.

Jaina:  (Cracking up uncontrollably)  Oh my god!  He was practically going to wet himself!  I do love messing with suits!

Jacen:  Ya, I mean, you wouldn't really do that would you...chop him up and send him to his friends?

Jaina:  (Taken aback)  No!  No way, you know i'm totally squeamish!

Jacen:  Ok, just checking, you almost had me convinced back there.

Jaina:  That's the point..jeez!

Jacen:  Ok ok, you did a really good job, that guy melted like butter.

Jaina:  Yup, its just my natural womanly charm!

Jacen:  (Laughing)  Of course it is!

They stand quietly together for a moment.

Jaina:  So... you really like Karona huh?

Jacen:  I do..I feel like..I haven't met anyone quite like her before, its like living for the first time.

Jaina (Raising an eyebrow)  Wow, well congratulation, if i had to guess i'd say she feels the same way.

Jacen:  I hope so, I can never remember feeling so nervous, makes me feel vulnerable...

Jaina:  Well, it's good to feel vulnerable every now and then, keeps you on your toes.

Jacen: I guess that's true...I just feel, wow, so unexpected and perfect in this way..

Jaina:  Well, it does kinda feel like the will of the force!

Jacen:  Ya, i gotta admit it does, its kinda reassuring in a way, like, maybe the universe has our back?

Jaina:  I have no doubt the universe has our backs, after everything we've been through?

Jacen:  Good point.  Even so, tomorrow is going to be challenging.

Jaina:  Ya, but were ready, were the best, don't ever doubt it.

Jacen:  (Smiling at her) When i'm around you, I don't!

They stand for a moment and then start heading back to the safe house.

Scene changes, it is morning in the safe house, the bank manager is hog tied and sleeping on a couch, you see the team getting ready.  Presently, a few rebels enter and Jaina turns to them.

Jaina:  All units in position?

Rebel:  Affirmative, ready to move out.

Jaina:  Good, lets do this.

Scene cuts, you see a massive sky scraper complex, there is a large wall and gate which is currently open, people are passing in and out.  Presently, you see down the street, the gang of 10 or so rebels watching carefully.

Jaina:  Deploying Spider.

The data spider springs to life in her hands and scuttles off, a few moments later there is a confirming ping on her comm system, she nods to the group who move out from the alleyway and head non nonchalantly toward the bank entrance.

Jaina:  Now, once were inside, remember elevator 17 has been prepared to carry us to the data room floors.  We have 10 minutes before the cameras come back on.

Spider skitters back and Jaina slips it back into her bag.  The group walks up to the bank entrance and melds with the crowd, walking through the doors into a massive main hall, there are hundreds of doorways leading into different area's of the building, the room has cathedral ceilings and gives an immense almost outside feeling.  They hurry toward a far wall where two dozen elevators stand waiting, the last 10 or so seem mostly ignored.  Heading for elevator 17, the group presses the up button and the door opens promptly, they step inside and are alone again as car starts upward.

Jaina:  (Checking time piece)  Six and half minutes.

The door opens, a hallway stretches before them hundreds of meters, reaching an intersection every so often, thousands of doors can be seen.

Karona:  My god...

Jaina:  Most of these should be offices, follow me

They move off quickly turning this way and that through a maze of identicle passages, Jaina mutters to herself and consults a data pad, then finally she points to a door just like all the others.

Jaina:  This one.

The door opens with a simple passcode breaker and they move into the data room, there are racks of computers and other electronics.

Jaina:  Alright, here's the mainframe jack

She pulls out spider and plugs the droid into a large terminal, Spider starts whirring.

Spider:  All vault systems are now under my control.  You may proceed.

Rebel:  Alright, you two are up, keep your coms open and we will maintain direct contact, if anything happens we will be there as fast as possible.

Jaina and Jacen look at each other and nod, then Jacen turns and kisses Karona passionately, they hug for a moment.

Karona:  Good luck.

Jacen:  I'll be back

Karona:  You better be...

Jacen pulls away and they lock eyes as he walks away, then, grabbing various bags and gear, Jaina and Jacen leave the data room and are on their way down to the vault, the door hisses shut.
Scene cuts, you see Jaina and Jacen standing again in the elevator, they have well fitting environmental suits on, the helmets still cradled under their shoulders, each with two large bags slung over their shoulders,  this time the lights show basement floor 15 and dropping.  Finally at B3 the door opens, there is a short hallway ahead, then a large metal blast door with a panel on the wall next to it.

Jaina:  Alright, this is it. once we get inside, we are in shadow mode.

Jacen nods and they pull their helmets on.  Jaina pulls out a small device and they walk up to the panel.

Jaina:  Entering DNA.....successful,  entering pass code....hold on...alright its open.

Jacen:  Here we go.

The door slides quickly open and they stare apprehensively into the vault entrance, it is another long hallway, no different appearing than the previous, yet, Jaina and Jacen both know the incredible sophistication of the traps it contains.

Jaina:  Alright, prepare aerosal

Jacen:  Ready

Jaina:  Do it

Jacen raises the arm of his suit and a thin mist sprays out and fills the hallway, hundreds of lasers are revealed lacing the room like a spiders web.

Jaina:  Hot damn.  Alright, display, layer that data over the live feed.

You see inside Jaina's helmet as the screen inserts the lasers over her real vision, calculating in real time where they must be, despite the vapor quickly dispersing.

Jaina:  Ok, nice and easy, remember let the suit do the work.

Jacen:  I know...don't worry.

Jaina:  Sorry!

They move with meticulous precision, each footfall slow and deliberate, tiny moters in the suit helping to regulate their motion to be absolutely soundless, the suits absorbing any heat or particulates that might trigger detectors.  They bob and weave through the lasers in slow motion, the duct access is just ahead, out of sight behind an unmarked panel.  Finally reaching it after what seemed to be an eternity of tip towing, they slide the panel carefully back and crawl into the space, it just accommodates their bodies and the large bags slung over their backs.

Jacen:  Phew, that was nuts.

Jaina:  Ya, don't forget we still have to be careful here to, there's a bit of insulation between us and the sensors.  Set your suits mobile liberty a bit higher.

They both adjust a control on their suit and start moving through the duct a bit faster, around a few turns and finally out into an open area within the superstructure of the building.  A ladder is seen climbing up 15 feet to cat walk.

Jacen:  Up here!

They climb and then start walking down the cat walk toward were they guess the drop shaft must be.
Coming around a corner they see the dropoff point, a clear terminal in the wall of the super structure, a set of tracks runs from the drop point off into the darkness, presumably into the maze of underground vaults, they move up the cat walk until they stand directly over the exchange.

Jaina:  Ok, here we go!  When the droids come, I'll grab the bag right here and you drop a fake one in over there before the droid can place it in the deposit slot.

Jacen:  Right.

They both hang their upper bodies over the edge of the cat walk, they can reach most of the way down, the droids and the bag will be easily within reach.

Jaina:  Command...were in, begin the transfer.

Radio:  Roger, transfer commencing.

There is a sounds deep somewhere within the cavern,  Then silence, presently there is a whirring buzzing and a droid pops around the corner, bearing a large bag in its manipulator arms.  Jaina readies herself, then as the droid passes she plucks the back skillfully from its arms, flipping herself up and tossing the bag onto the walkway.  Jacen then drops a fake bag into its hands and they both watch gleefully as it places the bag in the receptor, no alarm goes off and the bag is drawn down a conveyor out of sight.  The next droid pops into view.  They repeat the process three more times and when Jacen places the last bag, they pull themselves back up and eye their stash.

Jaina:   ...No straps!

Jacen:  What?

Jaina:  The bags!  They have no straps!  They weight the same as ours with the strap, but these were never designed to be carried with human hands!

Jacen:  Well, crap.

Jaina:  We will never get through the sensors with these!

Jacen:  We will just have to carry them in our arms and hope for the best.

Jaina turns and just as she does a red eyed security droid pops its head out of a hidden passage in the super structure and looms up over Jaina, nearly on top of her it fires a series of small blaster bolts, narrowly missing her, giving a cry she steps back and falls clean off the cat walk, landing right on the receiver with a massive crash and groan, the alarms sound instantly, blaring even through their helmets, the red lights illuminating their surroundings.

Jacen leaps forward and ignites his saber, cutting down the droid, Jaina is picking herself up and she leaps high into the air, the force assisting her, and catches the edge of the walkway, pulling herself up.  They grab the bundles, one under each arm, looking ridiculous they run as fast as they can down the walkway back toward the vent, another droid intercepts them and Jaina drops her bags to cut it down with her saber.  They continue and crawl awkwardly down the vent.

Radio:  What the hell happened?  The whole place is lighting up!

Jacen:  Security droid!  We got the cash though!

Radio:  We're already on our way down.

Jaina:  Good!  Make sure that vault door stays open!

Radio:  We still have control over most of their systems, not sure how long that will last, you better get out now.

Jaina:  Copy.

They pop out of the vent and into the hallway, the vault door is open, they run through and right as they reach the elevator it opens, they are face to face with a dozen Republic Special forces troopers, black storm trooper armor gleaming, heavy weapons in hand, some carry light sabers, others blasters of various types.

Jaina and Jacen are on them in seconds, dropping the bags and wielding twin green and blue sabers, the front four are cut down without even flinching, four more draw sabers and the others fire a barrage of bolts, but Jaina and Jacen and Jaina deflect the bolts and move to engage the other Jedi, they battle fiercely, eventually Jaina and Jacen kill them all.

They hurry into the elevator still littered with bodies and return to the ground floor, as the door opens dozens of storm troopers have filled the room, they press themselves against the walls of the elevator and deflect what they can but the wall of blasts is impenetrable.

Jaina:  I have an idea!

She presses the button for floor 2, the door slides closed and the elevator starts moving.

Jacen:  What are you doing?

Jaina:  Taking the high ground!

Jacen looks puzzled, the doors open and you see a second floor which runs the entire outer length of the large room but still has the open center, the ceiling running many floors higher.  There is virtually no one on this floor.

Jacen:  Huh, good call!

Radio:  We see you, to your left!

Jaina and Jacen turn, there you see the small group of rebels, many of them in prone positions with rifles trained on troopers bellow.  Jacen and Jaina run to Join them.

Karona:  There's a stairwell over here, lets go!

They group moves out and down the stairway which is also deserted, coming to a door they open it and unleash a barrage of fire, the storm troopers are initially surprised and fall back, Jaina, Jacen, Karona and several other Jedi draw their sabers and rush forward, cutting down the troopers who are in disarray.  In the chaos the rest of the group moves out and heads for the doorway, followed by the Jedi who deflect bolts away from their comrades.  As they reach the doorway, a barrage of fire comes from the outside, you see that massive number of troops and vehicles have positioned themselves around the door, several rebels fall and the rest are pinned down, now fighting troops in front and behind them.

Jaina:  Captain!  Now would be a good time!

Jaina:  We're already moving...

As if in answer, blaster shots ring out in the street, explosions tear through vehicles and storm troopers start dropping like flies.  They turn and try to fend off the unexpected attack but are driven back.  Hundreds of rebels swarm the streets, finding cover anywhere they can, you see snipers on roof tops and in windows, Jedi leaping out with sabers in ambush.  The Republic is in full retreat.  You see the bank robbers emerge, the four bundles carried between them, they run full out and are picked up by an armored speeder which careens away, its retreat covered by rebel blaster fire.
Scene cuts, it is a montage of the rebels distributing money, first a ship fly's over a city block, wads of money rain down, the people are celebrating.  Then it cuts and you see a ship land in a poor village on a remote planet, you see a rebel emerge with a box, handing it to some peasants they open it to find huge amounts of cash.

Next you see Jaina and Jacen shaking hands with some shady looking business people inside the hanger of a destroyer, then you see cases of weapons, blasters, ammo, shells, various other armaments and supplies, being wheeled off a ship and into the rebel cargo bay.  You see various rebels, their expression's alight with the spirit of hope.  Jaina and Jacen nod at each other and you see Rey looking determined.  Scene cuts to space, the rebel fleet, then you see four more destroyers jump in from hyper space.  You see they have fleets of X-wings and other smaller ships with them.  Scene cuts to the bridge of a destroyer, Rey stands watching with satisfaction.

Scene cuts.  It is a battle, Rey walks at the front of a group of rebels who are invading a facility of some kind.  Camera follows Rey from the front, moving with her as she walks, her saber is out and she is deflecting bolts, troopers fall at her feet and she keeps walking.  Jaina, Jacen and Karona are at her flanks, also swinging their sabers, behind them a mass of troopers unleashes a barrage of fire.
Scene cuts, it is a chaotic situation, a control room of some kind, there are storm troopers with blasters pointed at a door, you see civilians cowering in corners or behind terminals.  A trooper is speaking into a comm.

Trooper:  Repeat, this is the central data transmission center on Calandus III, we are under all out attack by an unknown enemy, repeat, we are under all out attack, requesting immediate back up.  Command, do you copy?

Red sparks flash around the door and it is blown off its hinges.  Rebels burst through and hit the troopers with a barrage of fire, they try to fight back but are quickly killed or surrender.  The captives are marched with the civilians out of the room and Rey marches in with Jaina and Jacen.
Rebel:  This way Ma'am.

Scene cuts, it is a street on Coruscant, there is a massive screen on the side of a building, it shows an advertisement.  Suddenly it flickers and shifts and Rey's image pops into view, she sits at a table with her hands folded in front of her, looking for all the world like some kind of ancient goddess of death, her hair braided intricately, here expression of calm and poise, betraying no emotion.  Standing behind her, arms folded as if to intimidate, are Jaina and Jacen, there expressions blank.
Scene cuts to a bar where the Tv suddenly also shows this same image, then a family home and other places.  The feed is being shows across the whole Republic.

Rey:    Gooday everyone, I have interrupted your no doubt busy schedules so that I could make an important announcement.  My friends, people of the Galaxy, I am here because of something that we all know deep down in our hearts, a truth which is eating away at the soul of the Republic, that works its way into the bone until it consumes and corrupts everything good inside of us.  This is the thing which sits poised upon your lips in the morning when you wake, it is heard in the crack of the masters whip at your back in daylight, and the weight of the bodies exhaustion in the night.  And through it all, the whisper of that truth is born upon the breeze and carried in the wind, finally, to the ears of the people.  And the truth is.. there is something terribly wrong with the Republic isn't there?  We all wanted to believe in the rebellion our parents fought for, and their victory over the Empire, but what came after has became nothing but a transparent return to the tyranny and domination of that era with only the veneer of freedom and democracy.  Where I ask you, can freedom have room to live, with the Republic Navy occupying your worlds?  With the bureaucracy and Industry that grinds and wears away anything free and innocent?   All fed into the endless Maw of the Republic's economy.  Where can freedom live, within the prisons and the labor camps?  There is no freedom unless you have wealth and property, democracy is dead, it was strangled in the cradle....But how...and why did this happen?  There are many reasons of course, the landlords, the bosses, the cops and generals, senators and business people who all needed to make sure the new system would guarantee their right to exploit the working people.  But it wasn't just the rich who flocked to that system, but also the middle class and even elements of the lower class, those who saw stability as preferable to risk and so allied themselves with the elites.  And of course, eventually we were no longer allies but servants, and then slaves, as was the plan all along.  But now, the people are rising.   Two weeks ago, the New Rebellion sought to end this tyranny in an attempt to liberate the planet of Coruscant, as you know this failed, but the New Rebellion is alive and preparing for our ultimate victory.  Our attack has left the Republic vulnerable, in one months time exactly to this date, the Rebellion will attack the vital Kamerian Shipyards in the Korinth system, we invite all who wish to fight for freedom to join in a battle that will cripple the Republic Navy and help liberate the Galaxy from the violent tyranny of the Republic.  There is little time to waste, we will strike without hesitation or mercy, our fleet is rebuilt and our resources replenished, together, with the people resisting against their oppressors everywhere, we can finally throw down the New Republic and end this system of government once and for all.    So...If you remain unmoved, if the crimes and terror of this regime remain unknown to you, then, by all means let the date pass by, but, if you have seen what this government is capable of, if you have heard the cries of the slaves and the tears of the prisoners, then join us!  And together, we can finally liberate the Galaxy and bring a new age of light and freedom!  Where slavery is abolished!  Where capitalism is abolished!  Where there is food, shelter, medicine and safety for every citizen of the Galaxy!  We can win!  We will win.  My name... is Rey Organo.  I am the leader of the New Rebellion.  Join us at the Korinth System in one month, and we will give the Republic a battle that will never be forgotten!

She sits for a moment in silence and then the screen goes black.  Scene cuts, it is in orbit over Coruscant, music is dramatic and building Republic theme, you see many destroyers, camera is focused in on one, then, a shadow falls over it, camera cuts back and you see a capital destroyer looming over head, then, the camera angle turns and you see three capital destroyers with hundreds of smaller destroyers, the massive Republic Fleet, the music builds to a crescendo.  Scene cuts to a council chamber in one of the destroyers, various Republic officers sit around a table, there are a few diplomats and Chancellor Pellion, as well as Master Zephyr and a few members of the Jedi Council.
Presently Admiral Stark enters flanked by another officer.

Pellion:  Admiral, glad you could join us, I trust you've seen the transmission.

Stark:  I have.  This situation clearly requires a forceful response.

Zephyr:  You want to deploy the fleet to Korinth?  What about Coruscants defenses?  This is exactly why the rebellion announced their plan to attack!

Pellion:  The Korinth Shipyards are to valuable to give up so easily, we may not have a choice master Zephyr!

Zephyr: Recall the third fleet form Corellia, that system has been sufficiently pacified for the time being, i'm sure the local authorities can handle the situation.

Officer:  Master Zephyr, the third fleet is already stretched thin keeping the security situation on Corellia from exploding into chaos.  If the fleet pulls out, my men may be unable to contain the uprising.

Zephyr:  There may not be a choice, the shipyards are to valuable.

Pellion:  Losing the Correllian system would be to great a political loss, we can not afford to appear weak in the face of an ever advancing rebellion.

Zephyr:  Our options are severely limited Chancellor.

Pellion:  I understand that you see defense of Coruscant as primary master Zephyr, but the Republic is fighting a war and we cannot afford to be timed or leave ourselves exposed.

Zephyr:  Deploying the fleet does leave us exposed....

Stark:  My lord, if I might suggest, perhaps we may simply deploy an elite task force, say the 8th fleet, to the Korinth system, there they will wait, if the rebels attack, the 8th fleet can keep them at bay while the armada is on its way.

Zephyr:  Hmm, an acceptable course of action....

Pellion:  I don't like the idea of leaving Coruscant defenseless any more than you do Master Zephyr, but we have to admit these rebels have put us in a tough position, that's why we have to make difficult decisions.

Zephyr:  We shouldn't give them to much weight, Chancellor, they may be toying with us, don't forget we obliterated their pathetic fleet already once, how much fire power do you really think they can muster.  The only way we will find ourselves vulnerable to them is if we put ourselves in an untenable position.

Pellion:  Lets us hope you are right Master Zephyr.

Zephyr:  And what of the interrogations?  We captured thousands of prisoners, we need information on Rey Solo, she is more powerful than you realize....

Pellion:  The interrogations are underway, we believe soon the location of the rebel fleet will be in our hands.

Zephyr:  And what of the daughter of Solo?

Stark:  Her resistance to the mind probe is considerable.

Pellion:  Continue the interrogations, we need results, you promised me we would root out the last of the resistance, now we are facing another full scale war and immanent threat to the inner core.  Master, Admiral, I want results!

Stark:  Yes sir.

Zephyr:  As you wish.

Scene cuts, a blue green planet from orbit, then, cut to a shot of a towering Republic facility in the middle of a massive swamp, stretching as far as the eye can see.  The building is like a sky scraper standing high above the swampy mire.  Scene cuts, it is a room in the prison, there are 40 or 50 rebels standing around a massive cell, you see Poe, Finn, Jinn and Mathew are all there.  Poe and Finn sit next to each other, backs leaning against the wall, they are dressed in grey prison garb, they seem tired and malnourished.

Poe:  Hey...you awake?

Finn:  Ya...barely.

Poe: (Grabbing his hand)  Hey...stay with me ok...

Finn:  Always...

The sit together for a moment, their expressions weary.  Finn puts his arm around Poe and leans his head against his shoulder.

Finn:  How long have we been here?

Poe:  No idea.

Finn:  Seems like....years.

Poe: No..definitely not.

Finn: (Looking at him) You sure?

Poe:  Absolutely.

Finn:  Ok...I believe you.

He wraps his arms around Poe in an insecure fashion.  They sit silently together.  Camera pans over, you see Jinn and Mathew sitting beside each other.

Mathew:  Hey....how are you doing?

Jinn:  Ok...I mean...I've been better!

They look at each other and smile.  Mathew goes red and turns way, Jinn smiles authentically and relaxes back, leaning her head against the wall.

Jinn:  Hey....I...incase we die here...I...

Mathew:  No!  We are not dying here!  We're escaping...remember?

Jinn:  Oh ya, right, how could i forget!

Mathew:  Don't give up hope ok?

Jinn:  Never!  (She looks him in the eye)

They sit silent for a moment.

Jinn:  But...just incase...I...

Mathew:  Please don't say it....I...I know...I...

Jinn looks at him, they meet eyes, she is as serious as she has ever been in her life...they stare at each other with deep longing, both wishing to kiss, but the threat of ever present death delays their passion, and Jinn turn away.

Jinn:  We're going to make it....

Mathew:  Ya, we are...

They sit back, sadness setting into their expression, the reality of their imprisonment and likely imminent execution loom upon their bodies.  Camera zooms out, you see them sitting together amid the mass of other prisoners.  Suddenly the door crashed open, Imperial troops enter the cell, they make strait for Jinn.

Mathew: No!

Jinn:  Matt!  Help me!

The troops grab her roughly and start to drag her from the room, Mathew leaps up and attacks, the troops level armor fisted punches at him and he is knocked to the ground, Finn and Poe stand to fight as well with anger pulsing in their veins, but the troopers level blasters and with a kick to Mathews gut, they drag Jinn out of the room.

Scene cuts, it is an interrogation chamber.  You see Jinn strapped to a table, she is conscious and her emotions fluctuate between fear and anger.  Presently Storm troopers enter followed by Admiral Stark.

Stark:  Ahh, so...Jinn...Solo.  It's a pleasure to see you again.

Jinn:  (Angry)  Get on with it you scum!  You know i'll never betray my friends!

Stark:  Ohh, such...defiance!  I'll have you know every prisoner I have ever interrogated begin with some line like that.

Jinn:  Well, you know what to do.

Stark:  Hmm..that's a new one.

Jinn:  You'll find I'm full of surprises.

Stark:  Not as many as you hope.  Guards!  Begin.

A trooper steps forward and injects a needle into Jinn's neck, she gasps in pain with the sudden force, then her face reddens and she lets out a terrible scream, then, the pain obviously intensifying, she screams again and again.

Stark:  Now...we will discuss the location of your rebel fleet....

Scene cuts, you see time has passed, Jinn lays semi unconscious on the table, Stark stands over her.

Stark:  Bring him in.

The door opens, two storm troopers enter dragging Mathew with them, he sees Jinn and his face is horror and panic, they strap him to an upright slab of metal, it is a torture device similar to the one used on Han Solo in cloud city, the rack of syringes and electrocuting probes sits before him.

Mathew:  You son of bitch! Let her go!

Stark:  Ohh, not yet!  Lower him!

The torture device begins it's evil work.  Mathew screams in pain, Jinn cries out helplessly, watching his cruel fate.

Scene changes, you see Jinn laying in a cell, it is smaller, this time, there are 5 other prisoners, Jinn is pale and her face troubled even in sleep.   Presently, Republic storm troopers enter and deposit a broken Mathew onto the floor of the cell.  Jinn awakens and rushes to him.

Jinn:  Matt...oh god.

Mathew:  Hey...you...

Jinn:  Shh, shh, don't talk...

She holds him close.

Mathew:  I...didn't tell them anything

Jinn:  (She squints her eyes to hold back tears)  No...no of course you didn't!

She holds him even closer, rocking back and forth.

Jinn:  I love you.

Mathew:  Me to.

She stares into his eyes. They kiss passionately
.
Jinn:  I love you so much.  So much.  I will never let anything bad happen to you.  I'll fight every one of them.  I promise.  I promise I promise.

Mathew:  I believe you.

She clutches him to her.

Scene cuts, it is high orbit over the swamp planet.  Presently you see a shuttle craft jump into orbit from hyperspace.  Scene cuts to the cockpit.  You see Jaina and Jacen at the controls.

Jaina:  Alright, here we go.....entry trajectory set...you ready for this.

Jacen:  So ready...lets go.

Scene cuts to the shuttle moving into low orbit.  Then again back to the cockpit.

Jaina:  Orbit set...

They stand and move out of the cockpit, leaving the autopilot to work the controls.  Scene cuts to outside the ship, you see figures jump from the cargo hatch, they wear full armor and jet packs, you see a group of 2 dozen or so skydiving toward the surface in perfect formation, presently they pull parachutes and float lazily toward the ground.

Scene cuts, it is deep in the swampy mire, you see Jaina, Jacen and other rebels securing gear and preparing to move out.

Jaina:  Alright!  This is just perfect, got your muck boots?

Jacen:  Ya, might need hip waders.  Great...

Ara: (Annoyed) Hey,  you know Rey is counting on us to rescue her daughter?  You might want to take this a little more seriously...

Jaina:  Hey!  We are taking this seriously, just incase you didn't notice, sarcasm is our style, so were getting ready for some serious danger with a few light hearted jokes.  If you don't like it, well, you can eat swamp juice!

Ara:  ...Ok...sorry...

Jaina:  Ahh, it's ok, were not your average commandos..huh?

Ara:  Definitely not..

Jaina:  Just lighten up, we got this, remember the bank heist?  No problem...

Mace:  Ya, no problem!

Jaina:  Exactly!

The group sets off through the swamp, birds and other animals sound mournful cries, the terrain is treacherous and progress is slow.  You see Jaina pushing ahead through the underbrush, clearing vines and finding trails through the mire.  Presently she stumbles out into a clearing...there are a dozen Republic Scout troopers, they are obviously making camp after being on patrol, speeder bikes sit waiting in a group at the side of the clearing, Jaina is stunned for a moment, then draws her saber and lunges forward, cutting down a trooper.

There is a furious battle, Jaina is in full wrath, she fells four troopers before the others have weapons pointed, they driver her back as she deflects their blasts, two run for speeder bikes and zoom off into the swamp, Jacen and the other arrive around the corner, seeing the chaotic battle, they draw sabers.

Jaina:  There escaping!  Come on!

She runs forward and leaps on a speeder bike, hitting the controls she speeds off.

Jacen:  Oh jeez...

He runs forward and leaps on another bike, zooming off as Mace, Ara and the other rebels brawl with the remaining troops.

Scene cuts, Jaina speeds through the swamp, dodging trees and other obstacles, ahead you see the two scouts speeding away, Jaina accelerates and tries to close the distance, behind her you see Jacen approaching on another speeder, the two pull up beside each other.

Jaina:  Try and get around them to the left!

Jacen nods and pulls away, you see him continue to follow the scout troopers but start to pull away in a wide flanking movement, Jaina pulls to the other side and they close in.  Jaina opens fire, the speeders puny blaster careening past the troops who easily dodge the wild shots, Jaina curses and tries to close more distance, suddenly blaster shots come from behind, two more bikes with scout troopers are closing in on Jaina.

Jaina:  Dammit!

She breaks hard and pulls behind the two new arrivals, the troopers look back surprised as they fly by her, then she again accelerates and approaches the two, the scouts look over their shoulders and pull small blasters, taking pot shots at Jaina, she dodges and keeps closing the distance, suddenly the two bikes turn and peel off in different directions.

Jaina:  Crap!

She turns and careens after one of the bikes, sending a shower of red blaster fire after it, finally she scores a mark and the speeder crashes in a fiery ruin.  She turns and as she comes around sees the other speeder flying strait at her, it fires a series of shots, reacting with lighting instincts Jaina barrels down on the scout, speeders flying head on like some kind of insane jousting match, at the last moment Jaina wrenches the controls and the speeder flips upside down, gripping with her legs she draws her light saber and as the craft passes above the surprised scout, she cuts him in two and withdraws her blade, grabbing the controls and returning the bike to its upright position, heads in the direction she last saw Jacen.

Presently you see him zooming through the swamp toward Jaina, they pull up next to each other.

Jacen:  Took care of it..where were you?

Jaina:  I ran into some old friends!

Jacen:  Ahh...you took care of it.

Jaina:  Yup.

Jacen:  I like these bikes, its to bad we can't keep them.

Jaina:  Ya the're nice!  Maybe we can stash them somewhere and come back for them later!

Jacen:  You know we could just buy one later!  We should get back and see how the others are doing.

Jaina nods and they speed off into the swamp.  Scene cuts to the group of rebels, you see Mace and Ara surveying the results of the battle.  Jaina and Jacen pull up on their speeders.

Ara:  There you are!  You took care of it?

Jaina:  No problem!

Ara:  Good...we're ready to move out, we have a lot ground to cover.

Jacen and Jaina hop off their bikes and leave them sitting by a large tree, with the group they start working their way through the maze of swampy ground.  Scene cuts to near the prison, it juts above the canopy like a massive obelisk.  You see the rebels still making there way toward the building.  They stop for a moment.

Mace:  We should be near the security perimeter, remember to stay quiet and keep your coms dead.

Jaina:  If they see us this is all going to be for nothing...

Jacen:  We will be fine...

They start moving again, this time more visibly cautious, scene cuts and you see the group nearing the base of the building, they wade through hip deep stagnant water and then climb up a short slope and reach the wall of the prison.  Pulling gear from their packs they each fire a grapple gun high up onto the roof of the building and one by one pull themselves up, you see the group standing on the roof, overlooking the swamp as far as the eye can see, they stand triumphant.

Scene cuts, it is the prison cell were Mathew and Jinn sit, they lie together, both asleep, their expressions of pain and worry.  Suddenly the cell door opens, a storm trooper enters, the other rebels shrink back and Mathew and Jinn wake up.  To their surprise the trooper takes off his helmet.

Rebel:  I'm with the rebellion!

Jinn:  What?

Mathew:  How is this possible!

Rebel:  Jinn, I was sent by your mother....she wants you to know that we are breaking everyone out of
here!  Very soon.

Jinn:  My mom?

Rebel:  And...there's more...you need to know...It's your father...he was killed in the battle at Coruscant...

Jinn sits back in shock, Mathew grabs her hand and looks at her in concern.

Jinn:  No!  No...it's not possible..no....dad...

Rebel:  I'm sorry, but there is one more thing I have to tell you, Master Plagueis fell in battle beside him...

Jinn is silent, she begins to weep, then rests her head on her knees, Mathew puts his arms around her.

Rebel:  I'm so sorry young one, this has been a terrible crucible for us all, your mom wants you to know that shes ok and that she loves you so much.  We're getting you out of here.  Also...there's this..

He produces a light saber from a utility pack and hands it to Jinn.

Jinn:  It's...is that...

Rebel:  Yes, it's yours.  Rey said it would mean a lot to you.  Don't let anyone hurt you.  We will be back very soon.

Jinn:  Thank you!

The rebel nods and then replaces his helmet, he steps back out of the cell and closes the door.  Jinn and Mathew look at each other.  Jinn starts to cry again and they hug each other.  Scene cuts, it is obviously later, you see Jinn and Mathew lying together, not asleep but in a sort of hazy trance.  Suddenly the door bursts open, several guards are there.

Guard:  That one (Pointing to Mathew)

Jinn:  No!  No!

The guards move forward and grab Mathew, Jinn clings to him but they level punches at her and she is knocked back.  Standing, she draws her saber, the purple white beam leaps into existence.  Everything stops.  The Guards stare in horror and wonder.  Then Jinn leaps forward with wrath and cuts down a guard from shoulder to hip, then beheads another.  The others try to escape but she leaps on them and impales them both in a single stab.  With a cry of rage she hews down their already falling bodies.  She stands victorious, withdrawing the beam of her saber.  A rebel closes the door and you hear shouts and commotion from outside.

Jinn:  (To Mathew)  I'll never let them touch you.

Mathew:  I love you.

They kiss passionately.  Then Jinn turns and looks at the other rebels in the small cell.

Jinn:  I'm sorry I got you into this.

Rebel:  Don't worry, were with you until the end.

Jinn nods.  Presently you hear a voice come from outside the room.

Negotiator:  You in there.  Your completely trapped and outnumbered, you may have a weapon but you can't win, you will starve to death before you can escape!

Jinn:  Don't say anything!

The rebels nod and look at each other with a resolute look.

Negotiator:  Just give us the light saber and everything will be fine!  There doesn't have to be any problem.  No one else has to die here today!

Jinn wordlessly shakes her head, a look of fury in her eyes.

Negotiator:  Time is running out for you.  You have a decision to make, just open the door, and give us the saber, and this can all be over.

Scene cuts, as the last line is being delivered, intense music starts to build, drums start to pound, it grows in intensity, then you see boots walking down a hallway in the prison, then a shot of the group walking, it is Jaina, Jacen and the other rebels, coming around a corner, there are prison guards, they turn in surprise but Jaina and Jacen draw sabers and cut them down, rebels fan out and storm troopers draw blasters, a massive battle begins, Jaina and Jacen make their way through the commotion.
Scene cuts back to the cell, the Negotiation has stopped, you see the prisoners listening as the sounds of battle get obviously nearer.  Then suddenly the door bursts open, it is Jaina, a green light saber ignited in her hand.

Jaina:  Jinn?  Mathew?

Jinn:  Jaina?

Jaina:  Rey sent us, it's a long story.

Jinn:  Right!  Lets get out of here!

The rebels run out of the prison and into the hall where a fierce battle is underway, they head for cover as storm troopers blast it out with rebels taking cover in various nooks and crannies.  The battle rages, you see hundreds of prisoners escaping everyone is making their way down towards the exit, for a moment you see Poe and Finn, both running with the rest. the storm troopers are in full retreat and you see the prisoners burst out of a set of doors into a courtyard type area at the front of the building, there is a high wall with towers and a massive gate and a small complex of buildings in the courtyard.  Immediately the escaping prisoners are showered with blaster fire, many die and the rest head for cover, presently rebels start firing back and a slow stead flow of people starts moving out of the doors.  Presently you see Jaina, Jace, Ara, Mace and Jinn, all five with lightsabers flaming in their hands, they deflect bolts and head for cover, you see Mathew trailing after them keeping his head down.

Jaina:  (Yelling to be heard over the battle)This is crazy!

Jacen:  We need to get that gate open!

Ara:  The controls should be in that tower! (She points to one of the guard towers near the gate)

Jacen:  Ok, Jaina and I will go, the rest of you make sure things don't fall apart down here until we get back!

They all nod and Jacen puts a hand on Ara's shoulder and gives her a nod of approval.  Then the two move off, dodging behind obstacles and cutting down a trooper unfortunate enough to be in their path.

Suddenly, an AT-ST two legged walker comes around a corner, moving down a road way it blasts at any rebels it comes across.  You see Mace and Ara looking at each other in horror.

Mace:  They got the heavy firepower!

Ara:  Lets go!  Lets go!

They break cover and dodge a hail of blaster bolts, you see the walker close in on were they had been only moments ago, it turns and fires a series of shots, the powerful lasers tearing through buildings and sending a shower of earth to cover the fleeing rebels.  Dodging away, they come around another corner only to find a second walker looming toward them.

Ara:  Ahhg!  This is just perfect.

Mace grabs her hand and pulls her down an alley, Mathew and Jinn follow.

Mace:  We need to head for the gate!  Stay focused!

Ara:  Lookout!

Suddenly a group of storm troopers burst into the alley, they fire a hale of bolts, Mace and Ara deflect the shots with expertise, standing as a wall in front of Jinn and Mathew, Jinn stands, her saber drawn, watching Mace and Ara work in wonder, without warning they sprint forward and cut down several of the troops, the rest retreat in fear.  The group keeps running, the gate is ahead.  Suddenly a deep rumbling is heard and the gate slides open.  Everywhere rebels are running toward the gate, hundreds of them, you see Mace, Ara, Jinn, Mathew and presently Jaina and Jacen join the crowd he run out of the gate and into a massive field.

Jaina:  Look!

She is pointing up into the sky, dozens of drop ships are making their way toward the escaped prisoners.

Jaina:  That's our ride!  We need to get at least one hundred meters away from the compound!
The group runs and you see the ships landing, prisoners are jumping in and as the ships fill up the take off and head out into space, Jaina stays on the ground and helps prisoners get on board.  Then, seeing a group of storm troopers hot in pursuit, she pulls a blaster and lays down covering fire.  The last transport is loaded and Jaina grabs a metal bar on the door of the ships and pulls herself into the ship, hanging mostly out with her blaster pointed at the troops, she continues to fire as the ship takes off, her expression full of wrath and triumph.

Scene cuts, it is the rebel fleet in space, they are now 40 destroyers strong.  Scene cuts to inside the Mayday, it is the council chamber, Rey stands with Alexander, who looks nervous.  Suddenly the door opens and Jinn steps in.

Jinn:  Mom!

Rey:  Jinn!

She rushes forward and they embrace, Jinn is crying.  She pulls back and then looks at Alexander.

Jinn:  Hey Alex!

Alex:  Hi..I'm glad your back...

Jinn:  Me to kiddo!

She kneels down and hugs him for a moment and then stands again, they are in awkward silence for a moment.

Jinn:  I miss dad...

Rey:  Me to, me to.

They hug again and you see the grief on Rey's face.  Then they part again and stand quietly.

Jinn:  So...Jaina and Jacen?  When did those two show up?

Rey:  Just after the battle, I know I was as surprised as you are.

Jinn:  Huh.  So...now what?

Rey:  Now...now...we take revenge.

Jinn:  I like the sound of that.

Rey:  The fleet is regrouping, we have funds and allies enough, but we need to make this count.  We have only a short window to take advantage of Coruscants vulnerability.  And there is still the fleet to contend with...

Jinn:  We can do this.  We have to do this....I...who did it?  Who ....killed dad?  and...Master Plagueis.

Rey:  (With wrath)  It was Zephyr.

Jinn:  Master Zephyr?  Max told me about him once.

Rey:  Yes, the Padawan were quite well acquainted with him at the Naval Academy.  Apparently hes also a senior Delta Squad Jedi.

Jinn:  Delta Squad...

Rey:  The Jedi Special forces...basically.

Jinn nods, looking pensive.

Jinn:  I want to do it.

Rey:  Excuse me?

Jinn:  I want to kill him.

Rey is silent, staring at her daughter with a worried expression.

Rey:  Are you serious?

Jinn:  Yes!

Rey is silent again, then she turns and looks out the window over the starscape, Alexander and Jinn watch her.

Rey:  I had imagined that I would be the one to destroy Ben's killer, but...well...I know you lost not only a father, but your teacher as well....

Jinn looks at her with tears welling up in her eyes but does not speak.

Rey:  When I was your age I had already fought in the rebellion! I was a drug runner and a thief!   If there's anyone who understands risks and dangers its me, but I also understand that sometimes the force chose the right time for everyone, like it or not.  I feel I must allow you to do this, though...it goes against my heart.  When the time comes, revenge will be yours.

Rey turns and looks at Jinn who looks back at her with a serious expression.

Rey:  I love you so much, I would never want anything to happen to you, but...make sure you make that monster pay.  Make him suffer.

Jinn:  (Angry)  I will mom.  I promise.

Rey goes forward and hugs her again, they stand holding each other, Alexander joins them and the three hug.  Scene cuts, it is a large council chamber on one of the destroyers, there are a few hundred people milling around and you see Rey, Poe, Finn, Mace, Ara, Jaina, Jacen, Jinn and Mathew near a raised podium at the front of the room.  Presently Rey steps forward and speaks into a microphone.

Rey:  Everyone...may I have your attention, the war meeting is now underway.

People quiet down and find their seats.  Rey stands watching.

Rey:  Thank you, now, as you all know, the attack on the shipyards is less than a week away!  It has been decided that we should send thirty of our forty six destroyers into the attack, with the expected reinforcements coming from various rebel groups, we should have enough force to cause huge damage to the shipyards before the Navy can arrive, once it does, we should try to spread the larger ships out and concentrate our attacks on the super destroyers.  Once enough damage has been done, we jump back into hyperspace and make our escape.

Rebel:  Thirty destroyers against the whole fleet?

Rey:  We estimate another twenty destroyers and hundreds of smaller ships will be arriving at the scheduled time, with that force we should be able to put up enough of a fight to escape.

Rebel:  Whats the point of this if we are just going to run?

Rey:  The point is to cripple their shipyards without losing our own fleet!

She is silent for a moment, there is a murmur in the crowd as everyone discusses the options.  Suddenly, without warning, a shadowy figure near the back pitches a red light saber strait at Rey, it spins in a chaotic fashion and Rey leaps barely out of the way, The figure throws another saber, this time like a dart, its read beam lances spear like strait at Reys head, again she dodges almost cat like, the blade embedding itself in the wall behind her and then turning off to clatter on the floor.  The assassin now draws a third saber, this team leaping toward Rey, you see ten or so others attacking various rebels, Jaina, Jacen, Ara and Mace all leap forward and duel with assassins.  Rey draws her own saber and the saber throwing assassin leaps forward and they duel, Rey cuts him down, everywhere you see the black hooded Jedi being defeated, finally, the rebels are victorious, though there are a large number of dead and wounded.

Rey:  This is why we are fighting!  To resist the bloodshed and tyranny!  We will not be frightened or cower in our homes.  We will bring the fight to the Republic!

There is a cheer, despite the horror of the battle.  Rey has a furious but resolute look, she walks calmly out of the room.

Scene cuts, Rey stands on an observation deck looking out over the stars, you see Jacen step forward.

Jacen:  Ma'am, are you alright?

Rey:  Yes, yes, I'm fine.

Jacen:  We had twelve dead and another twenty wounded.

Rey:  We're lucky it wasn't worse than that...

Jacen:  Yes..we are..

They are silent for a moment.

Jacen: So...that's it?  After all this buildup, we are just destroying a few shipyards and then going home?

Rey looks at him with a sly smile.

Rey:  Oh, you must have guessed the real plan by now, come on, i'm dissapointed!

Jacen:  Ok, I was a little confused.

Rey:  No, no, we needed to put on a good show for the spies, if they found out what we were really planning...

Jacen:  So whats the real plan?  I'm assuming it involves the other three fleets you have hidden?

Rey:  It does!  You and Jaina really came through rallying so many rebels, I have to say i'm extremely impressed.

Jacen:  Thank you!  People are our specialty.

Rey:  (Amused)  You could say that.  So anyway, this will be First Fleet, its mission is, as we said, to attack the shipyards, but the real purpose is to draw the fleet away from Coruscant.  That's when Second Fleet and Third Fleet come into play, I want you and Jaina each in command of one, your job is to destroy the Republic Fleet when it arrives at Korinth.

Jacen:  Wow...ok...

Rey:  So, what we have in mind at this point is trying to get the fleet as spread out as possible, that way when you and Jaina come in you can concentrate your firepower without being overwhelmed.

Jacen nods.

Jacen:  Good idea....so what about the Fourth Fleet.

Rey:  I'll be in command of that one, we will be attacking Coruscant and landing troops to try and capture the Senate.

Jacen:  Wow...you're going for everything in one fell swoop.

Rey:  Of course, we only have a limited time.

Jacen:  Right...so..I guess i'll let my sister know and we will start working on our strategy.

Rey:  Good...good, thank you Jacen.  Thank you for everything.

Jacen:  You're welcome...May the force be with you.

Rey:  And you.

He leaves, Scene changes.

Scene cuts, it is on the bridge of a destroyer, you see an officer standing looking out over the rest of the rebel fleet.

Rebel:  We're receiving a transmission, it's the signal.

Officer:  Prepare to make the jump to light speed!

Scene cuts and you see the fleet turning and then the destroyers jump away one by one.  Scene cuts, it is an industrialized planet with massive infrastructure in orbit, you see a few destroyers and ships in various stages of construction.  Suddenly the Rebel fleet arrives, without waiting they move in and pelt the shipyards with fire, several Republic Destroyers move to intercept, a half dozen more can be seen emerging from the far side of the planet, the battle rages, you see smaller ships jumping into orbit from hyper space, many of them in small groups and some alone, they are rebels joining the battle. Scene cuts to bridge of a destroyer, you see Poe and Finn looking out over the battle.

Finn:  Our reinforcements!

Poe:  Look!

You see a massive Republic fleet jump into orbit, it looks to be about half of the fleet at Coruscant, there are two Capital Destroyers.

Poe:  Ohh...here we go!

The battle rages as the Rebel destroyers turn to engage the new fleet.  Scene cuts and you see Jaina standing on the bridge of a destroyer, she looks out over her fleet.

Rebel:  That's the signal!

Jaina:  Alright!  Punch it!

You see the stars stretch out and then the destroyer jumps to hyperspace, followed by the rest of the fleet.  Scene cuts back to Koralis where the rebels are obviously being pulverized.  Scene cuts to the destroyer bridge where Poe and Finn stand.

Poe:  Hard to the right!  There's two more trying to cut us off!

Finn:  I see it!  Helmsman!  Keep your distance from that capital ship!

Rebel:  Yes sir!

Poe:  There!

He points again and this time you see another fleet of rebel ships jump in, then a second one moments later, wasting no time they each blaze strait for a capital destroyer.

Poe:  It worked!  Damn!  Rey is a genious!

Finn:  She really is!

Scene cuts, you see Rey standing with Jinn on the bridge of the Mayday, they look over the fourth fleet.

Rey:  This is it...I love you so much...whatever happens.

They hug for a moment.

Jinn:  I love you to.

Rey:  Get to your ship, we are leaving soon.

Jinn nods and runs off down a corridor.  Rey looks sadly out over the fleet.  Scene cuts to outside the fourth fleet, the ships turn and jump away to hyper space.  Scene cuts to Coruscant, most of the fleet is gone, suddenly the Fourth Fleet jumps in from hyperspace, they tear through a group of destroyers and start pulverizing the remaining orbital defenses, you see two dozen massive drop ships heading into orbit, camera follows as they enter the atmosphere and come to land on the streets of Coruscant.  Thousands of rebels disembark, they run out onto the street and start heading toward the massive Senate Building towering in the distance.

Rebel:  Ok, red group, that's the Senate up ahead, Blue group, the Navy Headquarters is South about two kilometers from here.

The massive group breaks into two halves and they start working their way down the streets, confused citizens fleeing ahead of them, Suddenly storm troopers burst out and fire a barge of blaster bolts, the rebels seek cover and return fire, you see Jinn crouched behind a parked speeder, her lightsaber held unlit in her hands.

Scene cuts back to the Koralis battle, you see more Republic ships jump in, the battle is turning against the rebels.  Scene cuts to the bridge of Jaina's destroyer.

Jaina:  Damn!  Come around to mark 7!

Rebel:  Yes Ma'am.

Jaina:  Order the fleet to regroup!  We are stretching ourselves to thin, rendezvous at point..3 in sector 5.

Rebel:  Transmitting orders.

Jaina: (To herself)  Dammit Rey this better be working!

Scene cuts back to Coruscant, you see Rey standing on the Bridge of the Mayday, the battle rages outside, you see more Republic ships jump into orbit.

Rey:  Come around, prepare all guns!

Rebel:  Guns at the ready!

Rey:  Whats the status of the ground assault?

Rebel:  Last report shows both teams approaching their targets under heavy fire.

Rey nods pensively.

Scene cuts back to the ground, you see the rebels in even fiercer fighting, the camera pans over and you see Jinn is maker her way down an alley.  Scene cuts and you see her walking down a back street, the sounds of battle audible in the distance, she consults a data pad and walks cautiously down the street.  Presently you see her arrive at the Jedi temple, it is currently unguarded and she enters the massive double doors and walks through into an atrium.  She makes her way through the empty building until finally she stands in the massive council chambers, eerie in its silence.

Zephyr:  So...it's you...

She spins, startled, standing behind her in a black robe is Zephyr, his face covered by an expressionless golden mask, his eyes barely visible from the shadowy depths.

Zephyr:  You should not have come here, daughter of Solo.

Jinn:  You...you killed my father, you killed Master Plagueis!

Zephyr:  Yes.

She stammers for a moment, her face pale, visibly frightened.

Jinn:  Why?

Zephyr:  Because...it amused me.

Jinn is enraged.

Jinn:  I'm going to kill you!

Zephyr:  (Laughing)  No..your not.

Jinn pulls out her light saber and ignites the purple blade, it casts its light through the dark room.  Zephyr disgaurds his black robe, under it he wears the tight fitting black delta uniform.  He pulls a light saber from his belt and ignites a red blade.  He steps forward and holds the saber out in a strong middle position.

Zephyr:  Foolish girl, you should have stayed were it was safe, at home with mother!

He lunges forward and strikes down at Jinn, she blocks but the force of his attack is so great it sends her sprawling across the temple floor, she lays on her back, saber still ignited, Zephyr looms over her.  She rolls away and stands, facing him again with saber out.

Zephyr:  I should teach you a lesson you wont forget, you'r going to regret this you petulant little brat!

Again he lunges forward, but this time his attacks are quick thrusts, Jinn dodges but one stab catches her arm and she cries out in pain, then Zephyr neatly slashes a short cut on her face, just deep enough to leave a scar.  She cries out again and stumbles back, lashing out with her saber and deflecting away Zephyrs blade.  The pain seems to awaken something inside of her, she leaps forward, no longer afraid, she bears down on Zephyr with the point of her blade, driving him back, he deflects her blows in surprise but quickly regains his footing and the two clash for a moment, then Jinn is pushed back again, keeping her footing she comes to a middle position and they face off.

Zephyr:  You are doomed.  Just give in.

Jinn:  Never.  Never!

Zephyr:  Join me!  Surrender to me!  Become my servant and I will give you everything you have ever wanted!

Jinn stares at him with a strange expression, he moves toward her.

Zephyr:  Come with me!  Forget this foolish battle!  I can show you things about the force that you have never imagined possible!  Places in the galaxy both dangerous and beautiful, far more of them than you can possibly imagine!  Look what I am offering you, it is your dreams!  It is hear right in front of you, just reach out and take what I offer!

Jinn stands almost paralyzed, her saber still held in her hand.

Zephyr:  Love me, worship me, obey me and I will be your slave!

Suddenly you see Jinn looking beyond Zephyr, surrounding him are suddenly a great crowd of hooded figures, they are Jinn's ancestors, you see young Anakin smiling and nodding at her, next to him is Plagueis, smiling at her, and...her father, she catches a sob in her throat, and stands, her eyes tearing up.  Zephyr stands silent now waiting to see the results of his spell, unaware of the spirits surrounding them.

Jinn:  You...have only one thing that I want......your head.

Zephyr looks at her in surprise, Jinn leaps at him and cuts for his neck, Zephyr barely dodges and the two battle with ferocity.  Zephyr is pushed back and obviously has lost his bearings.  Jinn attacks again and again, she cuts off Zephyrs arm, then cuts him from shoulder to hip, he falls.  You see Jinn standing victorious and fierce, the circle of elders stands around her, viewing her triumph with approval.

Scene cuts, it is in orbit, you see Rey standing on the bridge of the Mayday, she looks out over the battle which is going badly.

Rebel:  Ma'am, were being boarded!

Rey: Get to your escape pods....

Rebel:  Ma'am?

Rey:  GO!

The last of the ships crew flee to escape, Rey stands silently looking out over the battlefield.  Presently you hear muffled shouts and blaster fire coming from behind a door, the sounds get louder, Rey closes her eyes in defeat.

Then...she open her eyes, a new light comes about her.  She turns and enters a series of commands into the keyboard, she steps back to the window, looking out over the remains of her shattered fleet.  Scene cuts to outside, you see the Mayday docked to a Star Destroyer, the rest of the fleet is either destroyed or being boarded, then suddenly, thrusters fire on the Mayday's surface, she bucks and kicks the other ship off her back, the dock clamp torn clean off.

Scene cuts back, music builds dramatically, you see Rey standing on the bridge, a resolute look on her face, the destroyer head strait at the ground, camera zooms in on Reys face, then cuts orbit as you see the Mayday enter the atmosphere, nose pointed strait down and begin its final decent toward the surface of Coruscant.  Scene cuts back to the bridge, you see Rey watching as the ground approaches.  Suddenly she laughs, smiling with such joy, as if seeing the most beautiful sight of her life.  She laughs until the feeling passes a moment before impact she vanishes, her clothes fall to the deck.  The ship hits the planet.  Scene cuts to inside the Republic Naval command center.  You see Admiral Stark sitting in a command position, he looks out over the room.  Suddenly everything is destroyed, Scene cuts to a wide shot of the ship hitting Coruscant and then exploding.

Scene cuts to the street as a massive tremor rocks the city, the rebels look around and then keep fighting, the storm troopers look confused, you hear the hissing of static in their radios and they seem confused, then retreat, the rebels attack in a massive wave.  Scene cuts to the Shipyards battle, now the Republic fleet is in dissary, you see Jacen standing on the bridge of a destroyer looking out over the battle.

Rebel:  Sir!  The enemy fleet is retreating!

Jacen:  How is this possible?  We were on the edge of defeat!

Rebel:  No idea, they just fell into dissaray!

Jacen:  Press the attack!  Victory is at hand!

The crew of the destroyer cheers and Jacen grins, staring out over the battle.
Scene cuts, it is the massive Republic Senate Chamber, you see various Senators and Chancellor Pellion gathered in the room, the sounds of fighting approach, then rebels storm the room, the Senators and Chancellor are captured and lead out of the room with their hands on their heads.  Scene cuts, it is on the streets of Coruscant, you see Jinn walking toward some of the Rebels.

Jinn:  Hey...did we win?

Rebel:  Ya, we just captured the Senate!  And the Republic Naval Command Center is completely blown away!

Jinn:  Wow...I just hope we destroyed the fleet to!

Rebel:  We did, reports are coming in that a mop up operation is underway!

Jinn:  Wow!  This is really happening!

Rebel:  It is!

They stand for a moment, scene changes.  It is a funeral for Rey.  There is a stone monument in a field, the wind blows and the landscape is epic, everyone is there, Jinn and Mathew stand together at the front holding hands, Alexander behind.  You see Jaina and Jacen standing next to Poe and Finn.  Mace and Ara stand holding hands nearby, their faces grim.  A massive crowd of rebels is there also, you see Jedi and soldiers alike, even a few Maulists with their distinctive tiger striped tattoos can be seen. Jinn steps forward and kneels before the monument.

Jinn:  Mom...I love you so much, i'm going to miss you so much...I...just want you to know...I did it!  I avenged Dad and Master Plagueis.  We won!  You're sacrifice was not in vain!  I promise we will keep struggling for freedom and never let a day pass where we take our lives for granted.  I love you...and...I hope your with dad right now...Goodbye mom...

She stops and then returns to stand next to Mathew, a tear running down her cheek, he squeezes her hand reassuringly.  The camera zooms out and you see the small group standing in the middle of the massive field.
