Star Wars: Balance of the Force - Chapter 1

"I'm so late. Jacen said as he approached the senate building. A security officer approached him at the entrance.

"You're the jedi the council sent right?" The officer asked.

"Yeah that's me." Jacen said. "Why did something happen to the senators?"

"Wait!" the guard said. "You don't know what the council sent you for?"

"They sent me to talk to Senators Jean, Alex, and Cody. Jacen explained.

"Well your priorities have changed. The senators are dead, Murdered to be more accurate."

"Take me to the room." Jacen ordered immediatly.

The room was just litered with corpses. Jacen looked at the massacre with disgust. He recognized the headless body of Alex and the limp corpse of Jean. Jacen couldn't locate Senator Cody however. Reaching out with the force, Jacen tried to locate the missing senator. He felt an incredibly terrified prescence hiding in the far corner. As Jacen approached the dark corner a barrage of blaster bolts suddenly shot out at him. With the speed of a striking crystal snakeJacen drew his lightsaber and batted the bolts away using the defensive style of Soresu. He was carefull to avoid redirecting the bolts back into the corner. When the bolts stopped Jacen called out in a calm voice.

"Come out of there slowly. I don't want to hurt you."
