STAR WARS/LABYRINTH RR THE BEGINNING
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Written by Princess Destiny

In a Galaxy far, far, far away. A handsome, dashing rebel and his hairy companion were heading towards the planet of Balk'tha Nine. The Rebellion was fast running out of rations, blasters and other necessities. And so, our two hero's decided to come to the rescue and make a deal with a Balkian.

"It's fair trade" The Balkian stated blandly. He studied the man before him, then the Wookie on the other side of the table.

Han stared hard at the lizard-faced Balkian. With eyes like that it was hard to tell if the creature was lying. Not that red eyes with black pupils inspired any great trust in a man!

"Sure" Han said smoothly, exchanging a look with Chewie. An advantage there was that it was hard for Balkian's to see if a wookie was lying. Due to the abundance of fur no doubt. Han hid a smile. "It's hardly worth the Imperials you're asking for"

"Truly it is" The creature said, nervously testing the air with his/her tongue. It fiddled nervously with the silk-covered bundle in it's hands. Han again exchanged a glance with his buddy. He smiled condescendingly at the lizard-man and held out a hand.

"If that's so" He stated smoothly, "You won't mind if we get a look at this magic object"

"No, no" The Balkian-with the unpronounceable name-exclaimed eagerly.

Han hid a sneer. Magic. No one believed in that...Except for his young friend Luke of course. And maybe her Worshipfulness. Han quickly unwrapped the silken bundle. A leather-clad book fell out with a thud. Chewie hooted with derisive laughter as he stared down at the small Book.

"The Labyrinth" Han muttered, reading out the title.

The Balkian twisted his hands nervously. "We could not read it. It was alien to us" It admitted.

Han snorted. He ran a finger over the writing and got a sudden urge to possess the Book. "I'll give you half of what you asked" He said in a hard voice.

The Lizard-Man opened his mouth to protest, then closed with quickly when he realized he would not win this argument. "Fine" The Balkian held out his scaled hand for the Imperials.

Han smiled triumphantly at him, then left the Cantina with Chewie beside him. When out into the reddish light from the Balkian sun, he blinked as if coming from a daze.

Chewie howled at him inquiringly. Han shook his head, throwing the Book towards his furry friend. "I have NO idea what came over me" He looked at the small Book in Chewie's massive hands and inspiration hit him. Just the thing to get under Leia's defenses. Her worshipfulness would be thrown way off by a gift...

Back at the rebel base, Han held the small book in his hands. He had no use for a book. He decided to give it to Leia, in the hopes of softening her worship a little. Standing in front of the door to her domicile, he felt silly and turned to walk away. "Perhaps another day." he mumbled beneath his breath. The door slid open and caught him by surprise.

"Han," came the voice on the other side.

"Hey kid. Is her worship here?" he questioned.

"Yes of course I'm here," she shouted from inside.

"She's not having a good day," Luke warned as he let Han inside.

"What do you want Solo?" she asked.

"Hey now, don't get all bent out of shape your worshipfulness. I..." Han stopped himself.

"Tell her Han," Luke said.

"Tell me what?" Leia asked suspiciously, coming nearer.

Han remained silent.

"He brought you a book Leia," Luke said, grinning as he watched Han's face grow pale.

"A book? Well? Where is it Solo?" she asked with interest.

Han pulled the book out of the inside of his jacket and handed it to Leia with a sly smile. "Just for you your highness." he stated casually.

Leia looked at the small book in her hands. "The Labyrinth" she muttered as she opened it. "Thank you Han," she replied.

"I have some things to check out but I will be back by." Luke said, knowing full well that Leia would sit down and read the book with interest.

"Yeah, I gotta be going too." Han said, heading for the door. "I hope you like it." he said as he left the room with Luke not far behind.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Inside her chambers, Princess Leia read every line of the book, intrigued with the descriptions of the Labyrinth and the characters. She found it fascinating. Hard to believe that it came from Han Solo. Closing the book, she placed it on the table as she heard the bell of her chambers. "Well, they return." she stated smugly to herself walking to the door. Luke and Han stood outside her door.

"Come in gentlemen. Can't have you lurking in the halls now can we?" she said with a smirk.

"Funny Leia." Han snapped back. "So? How is it so far?" he asked, hardly able to contain his curiosity.

"So far?" she questioned raising a stern brow. "I have already finished it. It was quite intriguing really." she stated.

"Intriguing huh?" Han said with a smirk.

"If I didn't know any better Han, I would say you are making fun of me." Leia said crossing her arms across her chest. "You know how the girl took care of the annoying pest in the book, don't you?" she asked, staring at him.

"No." Han replied.

"She wished him away to the goblins." she said seriously. Han laughed at that and it only made Leia more determined. "I wish the goblins would come and take you away right now!" she shouted at him.

All of a sudden the lights went out.

Enter the Labyrinth
by Aradia

Luke and Leia were startled. What had happened? Where was Han? And what were these...things? Luke pulled out his light saber and moved to cover Leia.

She was about to speak when the lights went back on and an owl appeared. He was in a strange, furry, white bird. One that was mysterious and beautiful. In a poof of glitter, there stood a man. A handsome man.

Luke closed his eyes and opened his mind. This was a strange man with blond hair and mis-matched eyes. Luke Felt the force in this man. Who was he? ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Written by Jade

Leia regained her composure and put herself in diplomatic mode. She would get to the bottom of this. She glanced at Luke, who had replaced his saber to his belt. Looking to the man she took a step forward. "Who are you?" she asked calmly.

"You should know Leia. You said the words." he replied smoothly, a smug smile touching his lips.

"What are you talking about? Where is Han." Luke asked stepping forward, his eyes affixed to the man's.

"You must be joking." Leia chuckled softly. "That was just a story. It wasn't real."

"Oh, it wasn't?" came his reply. "I am Jareth, the Goblin King, and have come to offer you a chance to save your friend." he said, looking at the two of them standing before him in astonishment. "Well?"

"Well what?" Leia stated, crossing her arms.

"Do you wish to try to get him back?" Jareth asked.

"Keep him." Leia replied amused.

"Leia!" Luke shot her a look, then turned his gaze on Jareth. "Yes. Of course we want to try." he replied.

"Very well." Jareth stated.

Luke and Leia found themselves standing on the top of a windswept hill overlooking a magnificent Labyrinth.

"You have thirteen hours in which to solve the Labyrinth before your friend becomes one of us forever." Jareth said, then disappeared.

"Now what?" Leia asked, disgust lacing her voice.

"We get Han back by solving his little puzzle. You read the book Leia, you should know what to expect." he replied as he started down the hillside.

"Great." she mumbled beneath her breath as she followed Luke toward the wall surrounding the Labyrinth.

Written by Lisa PP

Luke and Leia started down the hill to the front of the Labyrinth. The massive walls loomed up in front of them. Suddenly, Luke spotted some girls lurking about a big gate.

"Hey there," he called. They turned to regard him, with varying degrees of wariness, fear, and apprehension.

"Luke, be careful. We don't know who these people are. They could be spies for -" Leia began. She was cut off by her brother.

"They aren't spies. I can even sense the Force in some of them. Relax, will you?" he said impatiently. "Hey there!" he called, waving his arm.

"Could you help us? We have to solve the Labyrinth!"

"Sure. We do too," one of them said, smiling a little. "What's your prize at the end?"

"We have to rescue our friend Han Solo," Leia said, grudgingly. "What about you?"

"If we solve it, we each get a night with Jareth," the one from before giggled. Leia looked shocked.

"Why in the world would you want to be with that - that -"

"Drop dead sexy man? Beats me," another girl finished, smiling wickedly.

"So, how *do* we get into the Labyrinth?" Luke asked, before his sister could lose her temper and go for one of the girls.

Aurelia stared at the good-looking guy, then at the girl, who seemed to be the same ago.

"Say" Jade said suspiciously, "Are you two related or something?"

"Good guess, she's my sister" He said quietly, smiling slightly. "Her name is Leia Organa and I am Luke Skywalker"

"What's with the different last names then" Lisa demanded, her eyes rolled. "Lemme guess, this Han is your little brother and you've come to rescue him?"

"Ha! Little brother? That Bantha-Brained jerk!" Leia almost spat out. The Listians exchanged a swift glance.

"Er...Right" Aradia muttered, making a slow circle near her head with her index finger. Obviously, this...Leia wasn't entirely, uh THERE.

"Bantha?" Aurelia said with interest. "I've never head of that word before"

The Listians turned back as one, eyes all glued curiously to Leia's face. She looked taken-back at the sudden scrutiny. The anger set over her delicate features.

"Look, I don't know WHO you all are-" She began furiously. Luke put an arm on his sister shoulder soothingly.

"Well, we don't know who YOU are" Lisa began heatedly. Jade nodded in total agreement. "But we're the Listians and we want a night with J, so get outta our way before someone get's hurt!"

Leia took a step forward, reaching to her left hip for something. She looked chagrined as her hand clutched at the empty air. "He took out weapons!" She gasped in outrage.

The Listians sniggered, Jade falling against Lisa and gasping for breath. Aradia stared haughtily at the two intruders. "Duh!" She said, "Like Jareth would REALLY let you in here with WEAPONS!"

"It a game of wit" Aurelia explained gently, seeing how confused the other two were...And angry too.

"How do we get inside the blasted place?" Leia shouted, eyes blazing. As one, the Listians turned their backs on the two and formed a huddle.

"Should we tell them?" Jade whispered.

"I say, let 'em rot out here!" Lisa hissed.

"Aurelia?" Aradia muttered, twisting her hands nervously. Obviously, the majority ruled here.

Aurelia looked thoughtfully around at her friends for a moment, then sighed. "We help them. I sense something in them...A Power"

"They AREN'T from around here" Aradia pointed out to a steaming Lisa.

"Maybe they can get us through quicker than WE can"

"Our Sexy Goblin King awaits!" Jade thrust her hand up into the air enthusiastically. They all stared at her flushed face. Aradia, Lisa and Aurelia exchanged a knowing look.

"Jareth" Aradia began.

"Gave her-" Lisa went on wickedly.

"Peach Brandy" Aurelia finished wearily.

"He's CHEATING!" Lisa said in outrage. "He know's it will slow her down! And US!"

"Excuse us...But when you've quite finished with the committee meeting, WE HAVE A LABYRINTH TO SOLVE!" Leia gritted out from behind them.

"We'd like to get in to rescue our friends" Luke continued much more calmly.

"Okay" Aurelia said quietly. "Lisa?"

Lisa walked away from the others and raised her head. "HOGGLE!" She bellowed. As if he had appeared from nowhere, the dwarf walked up to them.

"Again?" He said in resignation. "Don't you girls ever get sick of trying for a night with Jareth?"

"Nope!" They all shouted as one.

"What are you?" Leia asked with interest. Hoggle looked offended.

"I'm Hoggle. Not Hedgewort, Hogwort or Heggle. Hoggle!" He almost shouted at them. Luke and Leia blinked, looking inquiringly at the Listians.

Lisa shrugged. "He has an issue with the name" She whispered to Luke.

"Open up!" Jade shouted at Hoggle and the Gate. "Jareth here we cooooommmme! Hehehe"

"Yeah, right" Hoggle muttered. He cleared his throat and gestured theatrically at the wall to the Labyrinth. "You get's in there"

The first corridor
by Aradia
~*~*~*~*

The girls all ran towards the gate. Aradia hung back a bit, studying Luke and Leia. What was it about these two? She waited until they were next to her.

"Hello. My name is Lady Aradia. You don't have the slightest idea what you are doing here, do you?"

The girl smirked at her and muttered "Isn't it obvious?"

Aradia whirled at Leia, and used her telepathy curse to knock her down. Luke gasped and helped his sister to her feet. When Leia was on her feet again, Luke looked at the girl. He thought that she was pretty with dark brown eyes and wavy brown hair. She was tall and slender. She looked like a doll.

Aradia's left eyebrow went up. She sighed and said, "Im sorry. I haven't learned and control yet. Why don't you follow me? We better hurry, Lisa and the others worry. C'mon." She took Luke's arm and Leia's and they rushed into the labyrinth. Dimly Luke thought they were being watched. He was also wondering how a child had such power... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Written by Princess Destiny

Aurelia turned as Aradia, Luke and Leia entered behind them.

"About time" Lisa said sarcastically.

"I've had just about enough from you!" Leia snapped, hands clenching by her side. Aurelia sighed, turning slightly to look at Aradia.

*What did you find out?* She asked silently to her friend. They both missed the sharp look Luke threw at them as he felt a shift in the force.

Aradia shrugged sheepishly. *I-uh...Sorta lost my temper at Leia* She shifted nervously under the intent look of the older girl.

"What did you do, child?" Aurelia said out loud, green eyes blazing. "You know better than to use your powers in front of strangers"

"I know" Aradia said softly, pushing the hair back behind her ears.

"What?" Jade said eagerly, "What'd you do, 'Radia?"

"Telepathy Curse" She muttered under her breath. Lisa grinned, looking just as eagerly at Leia.

"At HER?"

"Yes, at me" Leia said coolly, crossing her arms. Luke looked at Aurelia intently, taking in her incredibly long black hair and porcelain skin. Her green eyes were resigned, amused and filled with slight anger as she looked at Aradia.

"How did you know that?" He asked curiously, "You were all inside the Gate"

Aurelia and Aradia looked chagrined, reluctant to tell Luke that the older girl too had powers.

"Your voices carried in here, it echo's" Lisa said smoothly, covering for them. Aurelia looked slightly relieved, though Luke's eyes didn't leave her for a long time.

"So" Leia said, calming. She looked down both ways of the seemingly-endless corridors. "Now what?"

"It looks the same" Luke noted.

"It changes all the time" Jade and Lisa chorused gleefully.

"J's a real laugh" Aradia smirked.

Luke and Leia stared at them.

"You...Really LIKE that guy?" Leia said disbelievingly.

Lisa shrugged in slight confusion. "We switch between hating and loving. He can be a real beast-"

"Or a real dream-boat" Jade cut in with a giggle. Aurelia nodded tolerantly.

"Let's go" She ordered. The Listians obeyed her without a word, following the dark-haired girl.

Luke suddenly wondered who she was. No one but Aradia had offered their name...

'Radia! (Protesting look) Princess' do NOT run! We have grace and all that. Besides, I'm here to keep Jade out of trouble...Not have a date with J! :)

Written by Fairy

Suddenly the group gasped as a large object plummeted out of the sky. A teenage girl with glasses and large fairy wings crash-landed in front of them, dropping a cup of peach soda which splattered on the ground. Luke, Leia and the other Listians stared.

Fairy got up and giggled nervously. "Uh, hi guys."

"What happened to you?" the Pervert Princess wondered.

"Jareth happened," she muttered darkly. "Now I'm with you guys for the duration. Worse, my wings are disabled." She noticed the two non-Listians. "A-are those really Luke and Leia?!"

"Yes, we are. How did you know?" Leia snapped.

"Um, er, never mind. My name's Fairybite, by the way, but you can call me Fairy. Shall we? Remember, there's little time to spare." With that, she fell in beside Princess Destiny to talk to her about senshi attacks. She was curious about the older woman's origins.

The group set off. Luke wondered about this strange, winged girl who he sensed was very strong with the Force.

Luke vs Jareth, take one and action
By Aradia
~*~*~*~*~*

Leia and the others were walking in a tight group. Everyone but Leia was having a great time. All Leia could think was that she was trapped with a bunch of bratty kids. However, when she turned around and saw Luke and Aradia she had to smile.

Luke had been asking Aradia questions about why she could do things

Aradia asked him, "Could I really learn some control? I really don't like to knock people down or.." She remembered that he didn't know that she was an empathic. What that means is that she can screw around with peoples feelings.

Luke had been about to tell Aradia that control was possible when he felt a ripple in the force. He looked around for his light saber. Damn it! Where was it?

The next thing he heard was a yelp. And out from the corner of his eyes he saw the Jareth grab Aradia. Jareth smirked at Luke and tossed him a crystal than disappeared with the girl. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Written by Princess Destiny

"So" Fairy-Bite was asking. "Where are you from?"

Aurelia stared up at the red-grey sky thoughtfully as she pondered what to tell the other Senshi. It was no coincidence that they had never met. Sailor Destiny was often required at the Time Gate with Pluto.

"A couple of thousand years before the fall of the Silver Millennium, my Mother Pluto had an relationship with the King of the Moon. Queen Serenity's Father. I was born, but hidden in the past, where I was brought up mortal" Aurelia looked away, her green eyes sad. "It was along time till I found out my true heritage...A very long time. But then I was made guardian of the Princess of the Moon and the Prince of Earth"

"Ah" Fairy-Bite murmured. "But why-"

Suddenly Jareth appeared and took Aradia before anyone could move.

"Aradia!" The Listians all shouted in horror. Luke looked around, astonished at the power he had sensed. The force had shifted almost sickeningly!

"Where IS she?" Leia said worriedly. Her eyes were wide and startled. Aradia was just a child!

"Our beloved Goblin K-"

"He took HER!" Jade blabbed, clinging to Lisa. "How COULD he!"

"You have issues, Jade" Lisa noted sarcastically. "We're POD off at J too, you know!"

"But-"

"No!"

"Can we get her back?" Luke asked quietly, glancing around. Everyone sighed.

"-Take HER though. He's playing favorites, that slime" Fairybite was heard to mutter under her breath. She was standing next to Princess Destiny still, both Senshi sticking close. It would be better for them all if they could hide their powers from the two Skywalker twins. seeing as Aradia had already spilled the beans, Aurelia though with uncharacteristic rancor. She should have known better....Jareth could use her as a pawn.

"Aurelia" Jade said, abruptly sobered by the situation. She dragged her graceful friend to the side while the listians suddenly *Grin* decided to, er....distract Luke and Leia.

"Can you DO something! He's taking all the fun away!"

"Ditto" Lisa muttered, slinking up to them.

Aurelia nodded, deciding that Jareth had gone too far. This was not in the rules he had set out. Aurelia gestured to Fairybite. "Can you...Block the flow of my power? So that Luke and Leia can't sense where it's origins are?"

"Er, I can TRY" The other Senshi said doubtfully. She smiled brightly, "Okay, let's do it"

Aurelia closed her eyes, concentrating.

Luke shuddered as a power ripped through the area. But he couldn't seem to sense where it was coming from, no matter how he concentrated. The listians noted what he was doing and Lisa quickly sidled up to him.

"So" she said, batting her lashes seductively. "What's your star sign, handsome?"

"What are you doing? I can FEEL something" Leia shuddered.

Aurelia clenched her fists, back turned to the twins and Jade standing between them. It was hard. Jareth was blocking. Trying to divert. She grasped something and her power surged.

"Arrgggggh! Intruder alert. The Castle is under attack" A shrill voice piped hysterically. Aurelia's eyes snapped open and saw a small, hideous goblin standing next to Leia.

"Arrgggh!" She shrieked, almost falling over her feet. The creature suddenly saw that he wasn't in the Castle and it's eyes almost popped out of it's head. Aurelia quickly gestured, the creature going back to the Castle. She again grasped at a presence.

"Gah!" A strangled voice gasped, there was the sound of hasty movement.

"Oh my" Lisa giggled. Jade and Aurelia opened their eyes and stared. It was Hoggle, barely covered with soap-suds to cover his more...delicate area's. His face was beat red and his hands clutched a bar of soap and a cloth.

"WHAT is going ON here?" Leia shouted, covering her eyes valiantly. This was something the Rebellion had NEVER prepared her for!

"Er" Aurelia flushed, turning her back swiftly. Jade and Fairy-Bite did the same, almost falling over in their haste. Hoggle was a friend...But handsome of form he was NOT!

"Try again" Jade hissed. Hoggle abruptly disappeared from sight. Luke wiped a hand over his blue eyes, stifling a laugh. Whatever was happening was hilarious. He stared over at the group of three girls with their back to him, while Lisa tried to distract him. It was almost working, but for the fact that the force was going wild and distracting him even more.

Aurelia closed her eyes and hoped she'd get it right this time. Her nerves really weren't up to anymore mess-ups. It was really frustrating, how Jareth was interfering. She gestured. There was a silence. Then...

"Ello"

Everyone looked around, trying to find the voice. Leia finally pointed down, voice strained when she spoke. "Did that thing just talk?"

"I'm a worm" the blue creature said pleasantly. It blinked around as everyone gathered around and stared down at it. "My, there are a lot of you this time, aren't there?"

"It talks" Leia said, trying to gain control. She had seen some weird creatures, but this took the cake!

"They're not from around here" Jade muttered, throwing a weird look at Aurelia. She shrugged, gesturing behind her back.

"Why don't you come inside, meet the Mis-" The worm was cut off mid-word as it abruptly disappeared.

"This is too strange" Leia said calmly, drawing her haughtiness around her like a shroud.

"Some thing is going wrong with the Force" Luke murmured to her under his breath. "It's almost like it's blocked"

"Blocked?"

"Try again!" Fairybite had sweat running down her forehead with the effort of blocking Aurelia's powers. Aurelia nodded, gritting her teeth. Her beautiful face was also strained. This time, the surge was different. She opened her eyes in time to see a startled Sarah. The young girl opened her mouth, startled as she recognized 'The Labyrinth' walls.

"Where-" Then she disappeared, Aradia dropping from 6 feet in the air.

"Arrrgggggggh!" She screamed, eyes wide with fright. Luke made a run and jumped, smoothly catching the girl. She smiled up at him, unable to unglue her fingers from his strong shoulders.

"Er, thanks" She muttered, glaring sideways at Aurelia. *Thanks a lot!* She grumbled. I was about to kiss J!*

*We have more important things to do* Aurelia admonished. Now, they had to find their way to the Castle and help Luke and Leia. One thing was sure, Jareth wasn't going to be happy as soon as he found out what happened to Aradia.

Oh dear
By Aradia
~*~*~*~*~

Since Aradia had been kidnapped, Luke wasn't about to let the child out of his site. She couldn't remember a thing. All she could think about was that she had been talking to Luke when something had grabbed her. When the group came to the second corridor, Aradia sidled up to Aurelia. The older girl looked at her And asked, "Did he do anything to you?"

Aradia looked away, "No. It wasn't that, that he had wanted, I am sure of it. I know that he loves me but it was a power trip. Anyway, I have to tell you something. Jareth took me cause he just noticed that I am from The Goddess. He was noticing all the power that had gone up. He's looking for a source and is going to be TICKED when he comes around. She wasn't able to finish that sentence..

Out of no where, a storm appeared. All of them could sense the dark energy around it. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Written by Fairy

Fairy wiped the sweat from her brow. Whew, that had been difficult, blocking the powers of another senshi, especially one as powerful as Aurelia. She was just wondering about why she had never heard of her before, since she was Mamoru's little sister, the princess of earth, in her past life, when she heard Aradia's comment about being from The Goddess. Now she was _truly_ confused. What was that?

Suddenly a storm appeared of nowhere. It reeked of dark energy. What was going on?!

Before anyone could do anything, a strong gust of wind blew them backwards. Rain was being whipped into their faces so hard that they could barely see. Fairy felt something pulling her. She noticed with shock that she, Princess Destiny and Aradia were fading away. Luke was shouting something, but she could barely hear him.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

When, who, what, why....
By Aradia
~*~*~*~*

Aradia was the first to awake. She looked around. For some reason, instead of being in a dungeon Princess, Fairy and her were in a beautiful big room. Also she noticed that her clothing was different. Instead of wearing a filmy poet shirt with a tan vest and old jeans, she was in a lovely navy blue dress with silver piping in it. It was made out of the finest satin and silk. Aradia glanced at the others. Princess was wearing a long green dress similar to hers while Fairy was wearing a gossamer silver silk dress that clung at the hip and thigh. What was going on here?

Aradia carefully got to her feet and walked to where the door was. She thought she heard whispering. It was Jareth and what sounded like an old decrepit voice.

"Are the women in your hands, Jareth?"

"Er yes they are but..."

"But what my son?" Aradia gasped, it just could not be him. Goddess Diana, why her? No it could not be the dark one. Not the one who slain her Patron Goddess. Aradia quickly ran to where the other women were. She rudely shoved both of them.

Princess woke up first and winced. She put a hand to her temple. Fairy was the last to wake up and she shrieked when she saw the dress she was in. Aradia would have smirked but she had no time.

"Remember when I told you that I came from the Goddess? In a past life I was the Goddess Aradia's best student and confidante. I was the one who saw her being killed by the dark one. And he and another are here. I think its the..."Aradia closed her eyes, she was weakening fast. "Oh man what did he do to me? I think it was the Emperor who arranged all are kidnappings. We have to tell the others and we have to find Han."

After the storm
By Jade
~*~*~*~*~*

All of a sudden the storm ceased.

"Where are they?" Lisa asked petrified. "What are we going to do now?"

"You are going to calm down and we are getting to the castle." Jade stated.

Collecting everyone into a tight group, Jade led them deeper into the Labyrinth. Luke watched each of the girls intently, trying to understand what was going on.

"Hey look!" Jade shouted. "It's Alph and Ralph."

"Well, at least we know where we are." Lisa mumbled, walking to a door and motioning the gate to move.

"How do you know which is the right door?" Leia asked.

"We have done this enough to know." Lisa growled, as the group made its' way through. "Don't anyone say those five nasty little words." she said.

"What words?" Luke asked.

"Oh no. Every time someone says those words, something bad always happens." Jade said shaking her head, her dark hair swishing about her face.

When they all were on the other side of the door, it shut quickly, startling Leia. She was not enjoying this one bit. If she could control her temper, none of this would be happening right now. Han would be back at the base safe and sound.

"Do you think Han is alright?" Leia asked softly. She never meant for any of this to happen and now it was all her fault.

"I am sure he is fine, for now. Jareth usually doesn't change anyone until the time has run out." Lisa told her.

"I think we should rest a bit before we go any further." Leia said, the others nodding in agreement.

"Yes, but not too long. We don't have the time to waste." Jade said, sitting down on the ground. Luke sat down beside her and smiled. She never agreed to do this. Jareth gave her no choice in the matter. He has forced her to disclose her biggest secret. It was definitely going to be a surprise.

"What do you think?" Leia said, looking at Luke for any idea.

"I haven't a clue, Leia." he replied looking around at their surroundings. Luke closed his eyes and stretched out with the force to survey what they could not see.

"Jareth can't win." Jade said. "He can't keep your friend." she said, determined now more than ever to reach the castle.

"I agree." Lisa stated, looking at the three of them.

"Let me see the crystal he tossed to you, Luke." Jade said softly.

Luke handed her the crystal. "What are you going to do with this?" he asked.

A smile touched Jade's lips. "You'll see." she said holding it in her hands. Instantly, an image of a man appeared in the crystal. "Your friend seems to be fine." she said. All of a sudden she began twirling the crystal in her fingers, giggling softly.

"How-?" Leia started, but was cut off by Lisa.

"How can you do that? Jareth is the only one who can do that." Lisa said with a questioning look in her eyes.

Jade giggled and looked at her. "There are a few things that nobody knows about me. Partly because I never told them." she said, staring at them. They were all staring back at her. "What?" she asked in her best Jareth impersonation. Nobody said a word.

"Why didn't you say something about this?" Luke asked, breaking the unnerving silence.

"You never asked." Jade replied, getting to her feet.

"That's amazing." Leia said, watching in wonder.

"Not really. It can be such a bother really." Jade replied holding the crystal back out to Luke.

"Bother? Why?" Luke questioned, taking the sphere from her hand.

"Because once they see this side of me, that is the only thing they see. There is more to me than magic." Jade replied, looking past them to the path in front of them.

"Does Jareth know about this?" Lisa asked.

"Did you? I think it is safe to say that no he doesn't. Not even Aurelia knew." Jade said, looking back at Lisa. "It is only a matter of time before he figures it out."

"I wouldn't want to be you when he finds out." Lisa stated.

"Why not? Could be fun." she replied with a smirk. "Let's get going shall we? Mustn't keep Jareth waiting." Jade said, as she began walking again with the others not far behind her. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The tables turn
by Aradia
~*~*~*~*

Fairy was about to answer when the door opened. Aradia flashed the others a help me look and went to kneel closer to them. Jareth came in and looked at each of the girls. When he came to Aradia he softened and lifted a hand to touch her face. She moved her face away and looked at him. Tears had escaped her brown eyes and were falling down her face looking like crystals.

When she opened her mouth she thought that her voice would fail her.

"What are you doing with us Goblin King? Why are we here? Why the dresses? And who was that man?"

Princess opened her mouth and spoke, "We deserve to know what is going on Jareth. We who have been though dangers unknown..."

At this Fairybite opened her mouth, "And Hardships unnumbered..."

Aradia finished it, "Why Jareth?"

Jareth moved toward the door," You girls have a new master now. I did my best to keep you all away but I can't help it now. I tried." At this Jareth lowered his head so that they could not see his tears. "It is to late." At this, Jareth moved toward the door and motioned in a tall man who was all in black. He looked like a machine.

Aradia whimpered and hid behind Princess.

Fairybite took in a long breath and exhaled it in a hiss..."Darth Vader..." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

An Hour Earlier.....
By Aurelia Destiny
~*~*~*~*

"Darth Vader!" Fairybite gasped.

Aurelia, Fairybite and Aradia stared at the imposing form of the Dark Lord of Sith. He radiated menace such as they had never felt before. Aradia shrank back, unable to believe Jareth had given them as Slaves to this...Man.

Aurelia looked assessingly at Darth, then at Aradia, who was clinging to her hand.

*Now what?*

Aurelia realized her mistake as soon as Darth Vader's head whipped violently in her direction. If Luke had been able to sense her powers, then this man CERTAINLY had.

Aradia whimpered, looking timidly up at the older girl. *I'm scared!*

ONE HOUR EARLIER....

"...And the Fairybite dropped out of the sky" Hoggle spat out with disgust. His eyes rolled in exasperation.

"Fairybite?"

"Yeah, she's a-Er, a fairy...Yeah" Hoggle stammered, covering his slip-up. Mentioning Listians to someone who SHOULDN'T know about them was a BIG no-no with The Goblin King.

"Hoggle, what are you hiding?" Sarah demanded, hands on hips. "And who are these two others you mentioned?"

"Er, they call 'themselves, Luke and Leia. Claim to be brother and sister, though they 'ave different names" He muttered, shifting from foot to foot.

Sarah stared at her friend in the mirror in astonishment. That Jareth had...12 people inside his Labyrinth at one time was DEFINITELY worth a look-see.

"What's he up to?" She murmured darkly. If she knew Jareth-which she did-he had more up his sleeves than those people knew.

"Okay...Move aside, I'm coming back" She told her startled friend. Hoggle gaped, stumbling back.

"Missie, I really don't think-" Hoggle began worriedly. Sarah smiled and waved a hand airily, jumping up onto a chair so that she was ready to step through the mirror.

"Hey, It'll be a piece of cake" She said smoothly. "You guys go through HERE for my party, so I can get there"

"If you's says so" Hoggle said, twisting his hands together in concern. Sarah laughed...Then disappeared. Hoggle gasped, then the mirror went blank.

Sarah had little time to gasp as she abruptly re-appeared...Somewhere. It looked like the bridge of the Enterprise, from Star Trek or something. But in black and metal and generally uninviting! Men were scattered around in grey uniforms, attending to their duties. At least, they HAD been....Till Sarah dropped onto their bridge. She could even see the stars outside.

"I'm in SPACE?!" She yelled, backing away from the viewing port. She crashed into a grey-uniformed guy, who made a grab at her. Sarah dashed back the other way and ran smack-dab into something as solid as a brick wall.

"Ooooh. That hurt" She groaned, steadying herself on the...er, wall. She noticed almost immediately that the 'wall' had lots of muscles, black plastic and leather. What...Was this some weird NY nightclub she'd wandered into?

Further perusal revealed that she'd crashed into a 7 foot tall guy with a menacing mask. He also seemed to have an asthma problem. "They have puffers for that, you know" She said, feeling light-headed. The guy said nothing for a moment, staring down at her with his mirrored eyes. Great disguise that. No one could see your expression. Sarah realized with startlement that she still had a hold-on one of his arms. She let go quickly, backing up.

"Who...Are you?" The masked man in black asked in a cold tone. It was slightly mechanic, but the undertones of complete evil were evident to Sarah.

"I wish I knew!" She snapped, crossing her arms. She'd faced down the Goblin King, The Bog and various other stuff in the Labyrinth. She could take on a...7 foot...Armor-encased...Generally freaky-looking guy...

"Maybe not" She muttered, looking upwards to see his mask.

"Take her to the Detention Level" the Man ordered. Sarah's eyes widened with alarm as several men converged on her. She had nowhere to go...And so did the only thing she could think of.

"Stop right there!" She shouted, thrusting out a staying hand in the tall-guy's direction.

"Or?" He questioned mockingly. Clearly this was a man that was in control of his situation. Something that Sarah was NOT.

"Er...I'll-" Sarah cast around in her mind desperately. She'd blurted something out before she realized.

"I wish the Goblins would come and take you away!" Sarah's eyes went wide with horror as what she had said hit her. The men around her looked at each other, bewildered. The man in black said nothing, but looked around as if expecting something spectacular to happen.

Sarah backed off, wondering what had gone wrong. She hit her forehead with her hand as she realized what the problem was. "Idiot" She muttered, straightening.

"Er...Right now!" She added swiftly. For a moment, nothing happened...Then the bridge went dark and a wind howled. Sarah had one moment to wonder how Jareth was going to do his 'Owl at the window' routine in SPACE....Before everything went dizzingly bright. When her vision cleared a moment later, she was in the first corridor of the Labyrinth, staring at some girls she had never seen before.

"What-" She began, but was whipped away again. This time, she fell as she re-appeared. The ground rushed up hard to meet her in complete darkness. Sarah gasped in pain as hit a rock with her knee. She stared around and it suddenly hit her...The same time as the smell did.

"The Oubliette!" She shouted in outrage.

"JARETH!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Let the Force Guide You
by Jade
~*~*~*~*

Trudging along through the Labyrinth, the small group of four slowly made its way to the next obstacle. It was not what they expected at all. Lisa gasped as they looked at the seemingly vast emptiness in front of them.

"Where-" Leia said in a whisper but couldn't finish.

"This isn't funny!" Lisa yelled.

"Where is the Labyrinth?" Leia asked regaining her voice.

"It is still here Leia. I can feel it." Luke stated, taking a step forward.

Jade caught his arm. "What are you doing?"

"Getting us to the castle. One of you said that it was a game of wit with Jareth. Perhaps this is just a test to see how serious we really are." he said, then continued. "Nothing will happen, I promise. Trust me."

Jade let him go and watched curiously as he walked toward the emptiness before them. Walking ahead with confidence, he reached out with his right hand and touched something. It appeared as though it were a membrane of sorts. Summing his courage, he stepped through it as it shimmered around his form. When he disappeared from her sight, Jade sank down to her knees and wished she had held onto him and persuaded him to stay. She could only think the worst.

"He's alright Jade." Leia said with a faraway look in her eyes.

"Are you sure?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper.

"Yes. I can feel it." Leia replied.

Minutes passed with no sign of Luke. "Where is he?" Lisa asked.

"I'm here!" Luke called, stepping back into view. Leia ran to him and embraced her brother. Turning around, they glanced at Jade, still on her knees. "What's wrong with her?" he asked.

"You gave her a scare Luke. If you wouldn't have come back, she would have blamed herself. Go talk to her." Leia told him and motioned to Lisa to join her in a walk.

Luke walked over to her, looking to Leia one last time before she rounded the corner with Lisa. *What should he say?* he wondered, glancing down at her. She didn't look up. He could sense something that he could not place.

"Jade?" he said softly. "Hey, I told you nothing would happen." he said, kneeling down beside her. "Why didn't you trust me?" he asked softly, lightly touching her shoulder.

Jade wouldn't look at him. "I did trust you." she said, her voice quavering.

"What wrong then?" he asked. "Why won't you look at me?" When she didn't reply, he grabbed her chin, lightly pulling her face around to look at him. When his blue eyes met her tear filled ones, he felt the sadness that she had tried to hide.

Jade pulled away and stood up. Wiping her eyes, she looked around for Lisa and Leia. "Where are they?" she asked.

Luke stood up to face her. "They went for a walk so that we could talk." he replied, staring back at her. "Why won't you talk to me?" he asked in a hushed voice.

Jade looked away and resumed her calm exterior. "We have to find them." she said, walking past Luke only to have him catch her arm.

"Your afraid Jade. I can sense it. But what are you afraid of?" he asked, looking into her green eyes.

"Hey are we going or what?" Lisa called walking around a corner.

"Of course we are." Jade answered coolly, pulling from Luke's grasp.

Walking through the emptiness that was before them, they emerged in the forest. Jade walked ahead of the others trying to keep her distance from Luke and Leia. She didn't like the fact that they could sense her feelings.

"Geez, what did you say to her? I've never seen her like this before." Lisa said, jogging to catch up to Jade.

"What *did* you say to her Luke?" Leia asked.

"Nothing. She didn't give me the chance." Luke replied, watching the two girls in front of them. "She's afraid of something Leia. I felt it." Luke said softly.

"What has she got to be afraid of?" Leia asked, looking ahead to see Jade glancing back at them. A smile spread across Leia's delicate features. "I think I know what it is." Leia said, glancing toward Luke still smiling.

Jade and Lisa stopped suddenly. "Oh no!" they said in unison. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Meanwhile
by Fairy
~*~*~*~*~*

Fairy gasped. Vader?! Jareth was obviously in his clutches. They had to do something.

Very quietly, in the back of her mind, she sent out a call to a certain person.

Vader was too busy concentrating on Aradia to notice as she communicated telepathically with Yuushi, her friend who is a jedi, who had been training her in the ways of the Force. After all, she was Sailorterra, the only Force-sensitive sailor senshi.

"TERRA UNDERGROUND MAKE UP!" Using the Force and her transformation energy, she concentrated.

In less than a moment, she and the others were no longer in the Dark Lord's presence. They were in the oubliette. Sailorterra slumped to the ground, exhausted for the moment.

Suddenly, Sarah's voice asked, "Who's there?"

Sarah in here. Darth Vader out there. Friends in trouble and no way to warn them. What were they going to do now?!

"Sarah? Is that you?" Fairy asked weakly.

"Yes. How do you know who I am? Who are you?"

"I'm Lady Aradia."

"I'm Princess (Aurelia) Destiny."

"I'm Fairybite. Fairy for short. Or Sailorterra. As for how we know you, never mind for now."

Sarah stared at Fairy. "So you're the one Hoggle was talking about? The one who fell out of the sky!"

"Um, yeah. But there's no time for that now. The Sith have taken over the Labyrinth and Jareth seems to be helpless to stop them. We have to do something, and we have to warn our companions!"

"Sith?" Sarah asked blankly. Whoo boy, Fairy thought, this is going to be harder than I thought.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Oh my!
By Jade
~*~*~*~*~*

"Hide!" Lisa yelled, running for the trees.

"Hide? From what?" Luke asked, watching Leia running after Lisa.

"Come on!" Jade bellowed, grabbing his arm and yanking him into the thick underbrush.

"What are we doing?" Luke asked, a smile touching his lips.

"Shh!!" Jade said, placing a finger to her lips for effect. Crouching down, they watched intently to see dozens of goblins marching through the forest.

"What are they doing?" Lisa whispered to Jade.

Jade shrugged her shoulders. "I don't' know. Maybe Jareth sent his goblins to try and stop us."

Watching the last of the goblins march though, Luke stood up slowly and looked around. It was just as quiet as before. Reaching out with the force, he sensed everything. The goblins had gone far enough that it was safe to move on. He reached down and grabbed Jade and pulled her to her feet.

"Thanks... I think." Jade said, smiling faintly. "Come on, we have to keep moving." she stated, leading the way.

"Hey Jade! Wait up will ya!" Lisa called after her trying to catch up.

"So?" Luke asked, his voice hushed, walking beside Leia.

"So what?" Leia replied casually.

"You said you thought you knew what she was afraid of." Luke said, glancing at Jade and Lisa who had walked on ahead.

"I did say that didn't I?" she smirked.

"Well? What is it?" he questioned.

"You." she replied simply.

"Me?" he retorted, staring at his sister in disbelief. "Why would she be afraid of me?"

"Haven't you noticed?" Leia asked.

"Noticed what?" he queried.

Leia grabbed his arm and stopped. "You haven't notice the way she casually glances back to make sure we are still here? You haven't noticed how upset she was when you went through that test of Jareth's? You haven't noticed how nervous she gets when you get too close?" Leia asked disturbed.

"So? She's just a kid." Luke said, trying to blow it off.

"No she's not. She is the oldest one of these girls. Just because she looks young doesn't make her so." Leia said heatedly.

"Well, that explains why she wouldn't talk to me earlier. So what now?" he asked as they started walking again. "What would you do Leia?"

"I don't know." she replied softly.

"Come on you two, keep up or quit now!" Lisa called back to them.

Coming to the edge of the forest, they stopped and looked out across the Labyrinth. Standing on a cliff, overlooking the Goblin City off in the distance, Luke, Leia, Lisa and Jade couldn't believe their eyes. As far as they have come, this was not what they wanted to see.

"I thought we were closer than this." Lisa said.

"Well, I don't know about you, but I am fed up with Jareth's Labyrinth." Jade said, lifting her hand in front of her. With a small motion, horses appeared from nowhere.

"Why didn't you do that earlier?" Lisa asked with aggravation. "It could have saved us time and energy."

"Just so you know, I won't use magic unless I have no other alternative. Now he has given me no choice." Jade said, climbing atop a black stallion. The others followed suit and in no time, they had traversed most of the ground between them and the Goblin City. Now, it was just a matter of time.

All of a sudden Luke stopped cold.

"Luke? What is it?" Leia asked as Jade and Lisa came back to them.

"Vader is here." he said calmly looking at Leia and recognizing the fear in her eyes.

"Are you sure?" she asked.

"Yes. I have felt his presence. I know that soon he will feel mine." he stated, dismounting the horse.

"Come on Luke, we have no time for this. We have to get to the castle." Lisa said quickly.

"Vader is there." he spoke softly, then continued. "I must face him."

"Wait a minute here!" Jade intervened. "You are not going anywhere Luke. I'll go on to the castle and..." Jade started but he cut her off.

"No. You don't realize what you would be up against." he said, grabbing her by the shoulder.

Jade yanked herself away. "I don't care. The important thing is to get to Han before the time runs out. If this Vader can sense you then you would be the last person for this." Jade said, turning her back to him.

"I'm going." Luke stated simply.

"No you are not!" Jade argued spinning around to face him. She had an idea. "I have a solution." she said, calming slightly.

"What?" Leia asked.

"We draw straws to see who goes to the castle and who stays here." Jade replied, picking up four sticks. Breaking three off to the same length, she broke the last one shorter. Turning her back to them she shuffled them around in her hands. Jade turned back around and held them out to the others. Lisa picked first, her hand shaking. One of the long ones, she sighed with relief. Leia drew next, another long one. She looked at Luke.

"Well it is down to you and me. You have a fifty-fifty chance either way." Jade said, watching as he slowly withdrew a stick. It was done, no turning back now. Jade opened her hand, revealing the short stick. "Well, that's settled." Jade said, mounting her horse. She looked at the three she was leaving behind. "Don't worry. I'll be back before you know it." she said, turning her horse around.

Luke grasped the reigns. "You don't have to do this." he said softly, looking up at her.

"I know." Jade replied.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Beginning of the end
by Aradia
~*~*~*~*

The Lady Aradia looked at Sarah calmly. Sarah sensed strength and intelligence from each girl. They were all beautiful. "Sarah, he will try to bend Princess, Fairy and I to his will. He has caused the death a whole planet. To him, you are just a pawn, to keep Jareth under control."

Aradia was about to say more when the door was opened. In stepped Vader with a cashae of guards. Aradia looked calmly at Vader and said to Sarah, "That is a Sith Lord."

If it was possible, Princess would have sworn that Vader had smiled. He pointed to the Lady Aradia, "Take her. The Emperor has asked to see her." Princess threw up her hands.

"Now wait a minute Sith Lord, Aradia is a mere child. I WILL not allow you to take her to that decrepit murderer. I insist on going." Vader nodded."Very well you may come. And you two,"he pointed to Fairy and Sarah, stay here. The Emperor would like to meet with you two after the child and the Princess." With that both girls were surrounded by guards. They walked away with Sarah and Fairy looking at each other.

~~~~~~~

When the Sith Lord and his prisoners arrived to the hallway which lead to Palpatine's Chamber, he dismissed the guards. He then said to the girls, "Talk. I will answer any question while there is still time."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Written by Jade

Vader stiffened. "Luke..." he said as he sensed his presence.

"So, young Skywalker is here as well?" the Emperor queried.

"Yes my master." Vader replied. Reaching out with the force he found Luke's presence. "Shall I go for him, my master?"

"Yes. Bring those who are with him as well." the Emperor commanded.

Aurelia looked at Aradia with a look of worry. "Jade and Lisa." she whispered, her voice tinged with fear for her unsuspecting friends.

"It shall be done my master." Vader spoke as he turned, his cape billowing behind him. Vader promptly left the castle in search of his prize.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Luke, still holding the reigns to Jade's horse, felt a shift in the force. "He's coming." he said, feeling Vader's presence growing. "Get off that horse." he commanded Jade.

Jade looked at him but never moved. "No. I won fair and square." she retorted.

"We don't have time to argue about this!" he said as he forcibly yanked her down.

"Let go of me!" she yelled, trying to free from his grasp.

Luke held on tight. If she was going to go the castle, Vader would surely catch her. He couldn't let that happen. It would be hard enough to evade Vader now that he knows Luke is here.

"Will you just calm down a minute and listen to me for once!" he said, as she struggled against his grip.

"Alright, I'm listening. This better be good." she replied smugly.

Luke released her and took a step back. "There is no easy way to explain this. Vader is a Sith Lord. One that is controlled by the dark side of the force. I fear he has your friends." Luke began calmly.

"Then let's go!" Jade said, starting for the horse again. Luke caught her by the arm.

"There is nothing we can do now to help them. Jade, they will be fine so long as they keep their wits about them." he said, staring at her hoping she would understand.

"Then what are we to do?" she asked, frustrated.

"Vader is coming for us. I can feel it. We have to get moving." Luke stated. "Leia, if he gets us, we won't stand a chance. The Emperor is here." he whispered.

"What are we going to do Luke?" Lisa asked, sitting on the ground. "If he is so powerful..." she trailed off when she heard shuffling behind her.

"Vader." Luke said. "Run!" he shouted, but it came too late.

Vader emerged from the bushes and had already grabbed Lisa. Leia backed away, sensing his evil. "Why Princess Leia, how nice of you to join us." he said arrogantly. "So young Skywalker, what will you do now?" he queried, Lisa struggling against his grasp.

Luke stood his ground and remained calm. Glancing around quickly, he saw no sign of Jade. *Where was she?* he wondered. He had a bad feeling about this.

"Let her go!" Jade yelled from behind Vader. She had picked up a large stick and swung it at Vader's head. It never made contact. Instead, Vader had caught the stick with his other hand and Jade found herself looking into a horrible mask. Letting go of the stick, she backed away from the menacing figure standing before her.

"Jade!" Leia yelled.

"Ah so are you two like the others?" he asked, reaching out towards her. He pinched his thumb and forefinger together.

Jade grasp at her throat. She couldn't breathe. It seemed the harder she tried to gasp air, the more her throat throbbed and closed up.

"Vader! If it is me you want, I am here. Let her go!" Luke shouted.

"Very well." he said simply, releasing Jade from her torture.

Jade fell down on her knees, gasping wildly for breath. He would have killed her if Luke hadn't intervened. Her body trembling, she looked up to see Luke and Leia. She could tell that Leia was afraid of Vader but Luke seemed calm.

Luke, walked over and helped Jade to her feet. "Are you alright?" he asked.

"Never better." she replied, a faint smile touching her lips.

"Now then, shall we be underway." Vader asked in a mocking tone. "You have no where else to go." he said, moving them close together. "Guards!" he called, watching as the storm troopers surrounded them. There was no escape now. "Take them to the castle." he commanded.

Once inside the castle, Vader ordered them split up. Luke was to go to the Emperor. The others where to be taken to the dungeon. Luke watched helplessly as the guards drug his companions off.

"So young Skywalker, you have control of your fear. Obi-Wan has taught you well." Vader said, taking Luke to the Emperor's chambers. "The Emperor will show you the power of the dark side."

Luke remained silent. He buried his thoughts deep to keep them from being used by Vader. The door opened revealing the Emperor and two of the girls from earlier.

"Luke!" Aradia gasped.

Aurelia's green eyes flashed. "Where are the others?" she asked, eager to know what has happened.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jade was shoved inside a small room with very little light to see by. She heard the door shut behind her and the turn of a key. She was locked in. Slumping to the ground, she dropped her head in her hands. Hearing a noise, she jerked her head back up quickly. "Who's there?" she asked, squinting against the darkness.
**
Leia and Lisa were placed in a small room together. "You two will have your turn with the Emperor when he has finished with the others." a voice came through the door.

Lisa sat down while Leia paced the room. "What now?" Lisa asked. **
"Hey don't worry, I'm not gonna hurt you." a voice came through the darkness. A man stood in front of Jade with a lopsided grin. "So? What are you in for?" he asked with a slight chuckle. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Written by Fairy

Fairy looked around. She was in an oubliette, surrounded by guards, next in line to meet Vader and the Emperor. So what did she have on her side? Her senshi/force abilities, and Sarah.

She had to help the others! Through her discreet psychic peeking, she knew that they were all in the evil ones clutches. Suddenly, she had an idea.

She managed to send Sarah a thought. She nodded, almost imperceptibly, and sidled up behind her, slowly.

Suddenly, between her back and Fairy's, the senshi gestured, and a greenish crystal appeared. Whipping it out in front of her with force-aided speed, she cried out, "TERRA CRYSTAL SHIELD!", and a green sphere of energy surrounded them. The guards began shooting, but to no avail. Sarah grabbed her waist, and she levitated up through the shaft above her head.

She knew she had little time- the guards would be after them in a second. She made a quick decision. Conjuring another crystal, she used a "Terra Crystal Transport", and they appeared in Jareth's chambers. Chained to the bed was the goblin king himself. He had been crying. He lifted his head and stared at the girls.

Raising a finger to her lips, Fairy freed him from his chains. She needed to conserve energy, so Jareth transported them to Jade's cell...Elsewhere, Vader's head jerked up. Some enormous power surge, in the captive's chambers! He sent guards to check it out, then headed for the dungeons.

"It's further than you think"
By Aurelia Destiny
~*~*~*~*

Aurelia and Aradia watched silently as Darth Vader ordered the Guards from the room. He'd suddenly stiffened, as if sensing something. She bit her lip in indecision, tightening her hand around the child's.

*Stay close* Aurelia ordered softly, her mental shields tight. Aradia stared up at the dark-haired girl, then nodded almost-imperceptively.

*I will, don't worry*

Vader's head swung in their direction. Aradia winced as she realized HER mind-shields weren't as powerful, since she hadn't had as much experience in her powers.

"I feel a shift in the force....Centered around that child" The emperor intoned, leaning forward from the throne. Aradia tried to shrink back against Aurelia as the Emperor gestured. Several guards detached themselves from the shadows and advanced on the two girls.

*Aurelia!* Aradia's voice was panicked as two Guards grabbed each other arms, three other's holding back Aurelia. The child was brought towards the robbed Emperor, who had a slight gloating look on his wrinkled face. Darth watched impassively as Aradia was forced to the bottom stairs of the dais and held there.

"The force is strong in you, young one" The Emperor noted, a finger on his chin thoughtfully. His eyes glowed with a hidden power as he sent his mind out towards Aradia's. She shrieked as he slipped through her shields and into her mind.

Aurelia's green eyes narrowed furiously as she saw her friend recoil in agony. Aradia went limp for a moment, then struggled weakly. She couldn't use her powers against one so strong...But Aurelia could. She was far older than anyone in the room and had learned many things over the centuries. One was, that the dark could never win if the light stood together.

"You SHALL not!" Aurelia's voice carried clearly through the room, underlined with a cold fury. The Guards around her had only a moment to turn their heads before Aurelia began to glow a steady green. The power abruptly blazed from her, throwing the Guards meters away.

The emperor's attention was taken from Aradia as Aurelia strode towards them, eyes on the guards holding the slight girl. "Get away from her" Aurelia's voice was cool.

The Emperor had seemed stunned at first, but in moment's he had regained the calm control of a Jedi Master. "You have managed to hide your powers from me, but you are no match for the power of the dark side girl" He stated coldly. He released Aradia and motioned the guards away. They dragged her to the side, where she watched with dull eyes.

Aurelia smiled mockingly at the emperor, feeling his power. "And how do you know that MY powers do not come from the dark side?" She asked him silkily. He again seemed startled, then his face went expressionless.

"Then join me" He offered. Aurelia knew it to be an offer of servitude though. To do HIS will. To kill without guilt.

"To kill without guilt" She murmured aloud. His eyes glittered at her, his thin mouth twisting slightly.

"Guilt is only a fear of being caught" He told her mockingly. Dismissing her words.

"And do your people fear you, Emperor?" She asked slowly, walking to his right. Drawing attention away from Aradia, who was recovering quickly.

The Emperor laughed low, in contempt and amusement. "It is the way of the strong, the powerful"

"Darkness will always fall before the Light" She told him quietly. This time he laughed in complete amusement.

"You truly believe that? Then as you yourself have told me, you are of the dark and shall fall also" he mocked cruelly. "And all your friends shall suffer the same fate"

"It is useless to resist, my Emperor" Darth Vader spoke for the first time in a while. Aurelia realized abruptly that he was right behind her. She moved back slightly, till his form was visible from the corner of her eyes.

The Emperor watched her move with lowered lids, eyes glittering coldly. "Give into me child, and the dark side. It is within you...I can feel it"

Aurelia eyed him scornfully, brushing her long hair back over her shoulders. "If that is so, then how is it that you did not sense my power?"

The Emperor suddenly gestured to Darth, who moved swiftly for his size. Very fast. But Aurelia was ready. She glanced swiftly at Aradia, drawing in her powers.

"Find the others!" Aurelia cried out, pointing her slender hand at the child. Aradia's mouth opened in astonishment as she was suddenly surrounded in green light. A moment later, she and Luke had disappeared. Aurelia was grabbed from behind roughly, her wrists held out to either side of her body by black-gloved hands. Darth Vader held her wrists in a steely grip as the Emperor advanced. His eyes were furious and icy.

"It seems that I have entirely underestimated you, child. Your powers are more than ever Vader here could ever control" The Emperor reached out a hand, touching his cold wrinkled fingers to Aurelia's face. "You will be among my favorite slaves, perhaps even rising to a position of control in my Empire"

"Master?" Darth Vader said in slight surprise. He had obviously expected the girl to be killed.

"She is too valuable to destroy" The Emperor answered Vader's unvoiced question.

Aurelia didn't struggle, but knew there was no way she would ever be a slave to this man. She would rather die. The emperor smiled coldly as he read the defiance in Aurelia's green eyes. Her beautiful face displaced the haughtiness of a queen. Perhaps his one day.

"Take her back to the ship" he ordered softly. Aurelia was released for a only a moment as Vader snapped shackles onto her slender wrist. He then took the chain and led her away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aradia was startled as she reappeared in a dungeon. Gathered there was a strange-yet handsome-man. Luke, Leia, Jade and Fairybite. Sarah and Jareth were off to the side, talking quietly. They all looked at her as she appeared.

Jade stepped forward worriedly, glaring. "Where is Aurelia?" She demanded furiously. Aradia shivered. "The Emperor has her. She got Luke and I away"

Luke looked concerned. "Why would he want your friend? I thought he wanted Aradia"

"Er" Jade muttered, looking angrily at the ground.

"She's powerful" Aradia whispered. "Very"

"And old too" Fairybite added.

Luke's blue eyes widened. "She has power? Then the Emperor won't let her go"

"You're right about that!" A voice said from the door. Everyone spun around to face the dungeon door and saw a group of storm-troopers standing there.

"Now what?" Leia asked. looking around for a weapon. Han smiled.

"We fight your worship!" He smiled devilishly at the troops. "Come on, which of you guys wants to get a piece of me?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Fight or flight???
By Aradia
~*~*~*~*

The commanding storm trooper pointed to Aradia, "The Emperor wants this one alive as well as Fairybite. The others are expandable. Aradia's eyes widened. She got into a defense stance.

Han pulled out his blaster and fired at the troopers. Jade and Jareth pulled out a crystal and threw it at Leia. It turned into a gun. Jade wished for an rocket launcher and yelled out in glee when it appeared. Her eyes narrowed and a grin flashed across her pretty face...

~~~~~~~`

After the battle Aradia had seemed changed. She was more powerful. She gained control.

"Look, I have to go and help Princess. When Palpatine read my mind I read his as well. What he plans for her as well as Fairy and I..."at this the girl shuddered. "Anyway I am going back. Princess, do you think you could organize a strike against the dark one?"

At this Leia nodded. "Yes. Jareth could come into help here...." Leia, Lisa(who would be flying a fighter)and got into a discussion.

Aradia turned to Jareth, "Do you feel okay?" Jareth nodded and said, "Of course I am a king and Im going to fight this."

Aradia grinned. "Good. I think you, Jade and Fairybite should go into a counter measure and disable the ship. You three are witches and have power so use it."

Aradia than turned to Sarah and asked if she wanted to go home, "Sarah do you want to go home? Its going to be bloody and pretty violet."

Sarah yelled, "Hell no!!!Aradia I am going to help!"

Aradia smirked, "great! You can go with me and get Princess while I distract the geezer. Aradia then heard a yell....

"Stop!" Jade yelled, drawing everyone's attention. "Haven't you realized yet?" she looked at Aradia.

"What?" she asked.

"That only together can we defeat the dark side of the Force." Luke answered, looking at Jade with a knowing glance.

"I agree." Han said, stepping forward. "If we split up now, we might as well give up."

Jade stood beside Jareth. "Besides, I am not going to stand by and watch as Aurelia is in trouble." Jade stated, her green eyes flashing angrily. "The Emperor and his minions must be sent back to where they belong."

"But Aurelia...." Fairy started but was cut off.

"Luke, can you sense her?" Jade asked curiously.

Luke reached out with the force and grazed Aurelia's presence. "Yes. She is with Vader." he said softly. "Your friend is being taken to a ship." he stated in a faraway voice.

"Jareth?" Sarah questioned, looking to him. "Why couldn't you bring her here?"

"I could." Jareth replied smugly, staring at the group. "What?" he asked, his arrogance returning.

"Why didn't you think of that earlier?" Lisa yelled.

"Who says I didn't? Besides, your friend there," he began, motioning to Aradia, then continued, "Was suffering from delusions of grandeur."

"Then get her here, now." Lisa said forcefully.

Jareth sighed and produced a crystal. Tossing it into the air, it floated peacefully to the ground with everyone's attention following it. As it made contact, a bright light flashed and there stood Aurelia still in binders.

"You did it!" shouted Leia.

"Of course I did. I am King after all." he said, his haughtiness filling the room.

Aurelia looked around at all her friends. *Who was missing?* "Get me out of this things!" she said, surveying the room. "Where are they?" she asked calmly.

"Who?" Lisa asked.

"Luke and Jade?" she said, her eyes narrowing.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Breaking Point
By Princess Leia (Lisa "PP" King)
~*~*~*~*

"Yeah, where did they go to?" Fairy bite asked, looking around.

Jade and Luke stealthily made their way towards the control console room.

"Are you sure we should do this. Leave everyone else, I mean," Jade whispered into his ear. She was so close, he suppressed a shiver at her breath on his neck.

"We must face them alone. Only we have the power," he assured her, giving her hand a gentle squeeze. "We can do this..."

"Or so you thought," came a voice from the shadows. Jade and Luke both startled in surprise. Neither had felt a disturbance in the Force, yet here were Vader and Palpatine, the Emperor's eyes glinting cruelly in the darkness.

~~~~~~~~

"We have to find them!" Lisa wailed. "If Vader gets his dirty black hands on them..."

"Calm down, girl," Jareth admonished sharply. "They are not far - oh NO!" The king cried out in shock as he realized that the ones on the Dark Side were there also.

"Jareth -" Aurelia began, but she was cut off as Jareth instantly came up with a plan and with a wave of his gloved hands, he transported the girls, himself, Leia and Han to the sides of Jade and Luke.

"This ends now," Aradia declared.

"Indeed it does," the Emperor rumbled, and he began to move his hands... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Written by Jade

"You simple fools, you can't win. Soon you shall journey down the path of the dark side." the Emperor said, his voice menacing.

"It will never happen!" Han shouted, still holding his blaster. Within seconds, it was ripped from his hand, floating through the air to land in Vader's.

"Your faith will be your downfall. You will either follow me or be destroyed. The choice is yours." the Emperor stated.

"Death first!" Jade yelled.

"So be it." he said, motioning Vader to retrieve the girl.

Jade stepped back, out of Vader's reach. She had nowhere to go. Hitting the wall with her back, Vader stood in front of her and grabbed her shoulders.

"Vader stop!" the Emperor commanded. Vader turned to his master. The Emperor was grinning evilly at Jade. "Bring her here." he said.

"Luke, why are they doing this to her?" Aurelia whispered.

Luke shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know." he answered quietly. Luke stood silently and watched as they took her to stand before the Emperor.

"I sense a power within you not like the others. It could be useful to me. Kneel." he commanded. His ominous presence of evil surrounded her.

"No. I'd rather die," she said defiantly, glaring at him.

Vader grabbed her shoulders and pushed her down to her knees.

"So young Skywalker, do you fancy her?" the Emperor asked, not taking his eyes off of Jade.

Luke remained silent.

"Well, in that case..." he stated, as Vader ignited his saber.

"Stop this!" Aurelia demanded, her green eyes flickering with anger.

"You are no match for me young one," he snapped back. His eyes surveyed the prisoners standing before him. They were all staring back except one. Luke's attention was elsewhere.

"Stop," Luke said, looking up and locking his gaze on the Emperor. "Let her go."

"Or what young Skywalker? You are no match for the power of the dark side. Join me or she dies," he said.

"Don't you dare even consider it!" Jade shouted, staring at the Emperor with disgust. A smile touched Jade's lips.

Lisa stepped forward. "I figured it out." she said, the others looking at her. "Remember when Luke said that only together can we defeat the dark side of the force? We are all together here. We can defeat them." Lisa said, smiling faintly.

"Concentrate!" Aurelia demanded.

Every one of them concentrated on sending the evil back to where it came from. The Emperor could feel the flow of the force shifting enormously in their favor. Vader also noticed the change. Not yet ready to be defeated, he yanked Jade to her feet and brought his saber closer.

"Stop now or the girl dies," he stated.

"Not now I won't!" she exclaimed. With a small motion, his light saber disengaged.

Grabbing her dark hair, his anger fueled by the dark side of the force, Vader flung her across the room. Jade hit the wall and fell to the ground, unconscious.

"Next?" the Emperor seethed. Lifting his hand, he could see it becoming transparent. He glanced at Vader who was no longer there. Looking once more to the prisoners, his eyes met Aurelia's. "She was the key all along." he said, indicating Jade's motionless body. "I have had much joy in seeing her destroyed in your presence. Perhaps I underestimated her and her loyalty to you all." he said, his image fading.

"Perhaps we all did." Leia said softly as the Emperor faded completely and the Underground returned to normal.

Han walked over to Jade. Kneeling down, he checked for any sign of life.

"Is she...dead?" Lisa asked worriedly.

"No. She is still breathing." Han replied, giving Lisa a reassuring smile.

"Why couldn't you let me handle it?" Aurelia whispered softly to her friend. "Then none of this would have happened."

"She knew how to stop them." Luke replied, looking to Leia, then to Lisa. "How did you remember all of that?" he asked.

"I don't know." she replied honestly.

Written by Aradia

It was night and Jareth had allowed all the people who helped him to sleep in the castle. Luke had put Jade into her own bedroom and had gone in there to keep her company.

One of the listians who is more or less an occupant of the castle was walking in the hallways. Her friends were all asleep and normally Aradia would be too, but she had to ask Luke a question about a dream that woke her up drenched in sweat and crying.

Luke was asleep. The dream was peaceful. It was about Jade and him. They were in a ballroom and spinning around when all of a sudden, Jade was ripped out of his arms....

Aradia opened the door. She was about to step in when Fairy and Aurelia touched her on her shoulder. Aradia motioned to keep silent...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Written by Jade

Aradia pulled the door shut softly, not wanting to wake Luke. Walking down the hallway, they passed Leia.

"He's asleep Leia." Aradia told her.

"I just need to check on him is all." she replied and walked toward the door.

Luke woke up and stared helplessly at the still form upon the bed. Sitting in a chair beside the bed, he couldn't help but think that this was his fault. He had tried to bury his thoughts away from the Emperor and Vader only to have them come to light. He couldn't shake the feeling of guilt as Vader took her before the Emperor.

"Wake up Jade." he whispered, brushing her hair from her face. "You are strong enough to beat this." he said softly. Strong yes, and stubborn as well. She was unique.

"Luke?" came a voice from the door.

Lifting his head, he saw Leia standing in the doorway.

"Is there any change?" she asked, walking closer.

Luke shook his head solemnly. "No. If she dies..." he trailed off, his voice barely a whisper.

"Luke, don't say that. She is going to be fine. You'll see. She just needs a little time to heal, that's all." she said, lightly touching his shoulder.

"I hope you're right." he replied, glancing up at her. Leia flashed him a smile and said goodnight. Luke watched her as she left him alone with Jade.

Luke leaned back in the chair and drifted back off to sleep. He didn't notice Jareth slip in and walk over to the bed.

"Jade, you arrogant, hot-tempered, stubborn..." he began but trailed off. Looking down at her, she looked so helpless and vulnerable to him. This was surely not the woman that stood up to that menacing figure only hours earlier. He glanced over at the man sleeping in the chair. "You had better wake up dear girl. You do not want to worry him too awful much, now do you?" Jareth whispered and bent down to kiss her cheek lightly before leaving. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Nothing As It seems
by Aurelia Destiny
~*~*~*~*

Aurelia listened outside the door to Jade's room. She looked quickly around the door, into the room. Jade lay pale against the covers. Luke standing silently nearby, eyes glinting furiously. Fairybite and Aradia clung to each other on the other side of the bed. And Jareth. he sat by Jade's side and held her hand gently.

"Oh Jade" Aurelia shook her head. "Silly, silly child. Aradia too." She turned and walked slowly away from the room, her long robes trailing on the stone floor of the corridor. She'd changed her clothes into a long white dress and cloak, the folds pinned at the throat with a silver broach. It bore the emblem of her family. An ancient family. Her long dark hair fell freely down her back, passing her waist in smooth, silky waves. Her beautiful face was somber as she walked through the halls, finally reaching the throne room. She looked at the throne for a moment, shaking her head gently.

"Jareth has been no help at all" She stared sightlessly, her green eyes clouded with sadness. If only they had left her with Vader. she'd been ready to destroy herself to kill him and his Emperor.

"Princess Aurelia?" Luke's quite voice alerted her to his presence. She was startled. How had he managed to sneak up on her? Aurelia turned to face the handsome young man that had captured Jade's heart. His light blue eyes were determined, yet fearful for his love.

"You KNOW something. Don't you?" He said quietly. Aurelia walked closer to him, reaching out a hand. Her slender fingers touched Luke's cheek. Everything exploded inside Luke's mind. he saw visions of people and places he had never seen.

Simultaneously, Aurelia saw the same sort of visions. But those of Luke's life. She saw....Many things.

"Who ARE you?" He whispered in awe and horror. Aurelia drew back, her fingers sliding from his skin gently. "I see that you too, have been hiding things, Luke" She murmured softly.

"You...saw?" He stammered.

"Your father. Yes" she lowered her eyes for a moment. "You'll have to face him soon. Some sooner than others"

"What do you mean?"

"I have to protect Time" she told him gently. Drawing back further. He watched as she began to glow with power. Green flames burning around her body.

"Princess!"

"Look after the others." She commanded, then disappeared from sight. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Written by Fairy

They all stood around Jade's bed, except for Luke and Aurelia. Nobody seemed to notice the glazed look in Fairy's eyes, or the mechanical quality to her movements.

Suddenly green light flashed, and Fairy fell to the floor with a cry. Alarmed, the others rushed to their stricken friend. She was unconscious.

Jareth put a hand to her temple. "Allie, love, wake up..." he murmured. The others startled at her real name.

Fairy sat up suddenly. "VADER! Oh NO! Jade, don't..." She trailed off in confusion. "Where are we?"

Five minutes later, they had figured out that Fairy had been in a trance since the Emperor had begun to threaten Jade. They also noticed that Aurelia was missing, and Luke wouldn't tell them anything. Fairy said, "the dark one did this. I do not think we succeeded in banishing him."

Lisa looked quizzical. "But why did he do that to you?"

"Because I can wake Jade up."

The others stared in awe as Fairy's senshi fuku (which she still wore) changed into a green ballgown. A green circle with a cross in it glowed on her forehead, and a glowing green crystal appeared, floating above her hands, and took a lily shape. The Earth princess closed her eyes, and green light washed over Jade.

The girl began to stir. "W-what happened?" she asked weakly.

Just as they finished explaining things to her (though Fairy, who was back in senshi form, refused to answer any questions), when Luke's head jerked up and he cried out. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Written by Jade

"Jade, this was all my fault!" Luke cried out. "I tried to bury my feelings deep enough so as not to serve the Emperor. I failed. He..." Luke began but trailed off when all eyes turned on him.

"What? This wasn't your fault Luke." Jade replied.

He couldn't hold it in any longer. "The only reason the Emperor stopped Vader is because he sensed my feelings," he said.

"So? He had the ability to sense everyone's. What was so horrible about yours that you think you caused this?" she asked.

"Because..." he started, but stopped when he noticed he had everyone's attention.

Leia tried to hide a smile. "What he is trying to say, is he loves you Jade," Leia finished, looking to Luke and smiling.

"I do," he said simply, staring at her.

Jade stared at him in disbelief. *Had he just said what she thought he said?* She had no time for love. She doesn't know the first thing about it. Sitting up, she raised a hand to her forehead.

"Are you alright?" Lisa asked.

"I feel like I got hit by a truck. Other than that, yes I am fine." she replied with a slight smile, glancing at Luke. His intense stare made her look away.

"Can I get you anything?" Aradia asked politely.

"No. I just want Aurelia back." Jade said, swinging her feet over the edge of the bed.

"Maybe you better just rest." Han said.

"No. We have to find Aurelia. You shouldn't have let her go." Jade said, looking at Luke.

"I didn't have a choice." Luke replied softly, staring back at her. *Didn't she hear me tell her I love her?* he thought.

"Everyone has a choice." she shot back, then realized how awful she sounded. "I'm sorry. I am just not myself right now. I want my friend back here and I will not rest until she is."

"Come on. Let's leave them alone for a minute." Leia said, looking from Jade to Luke.

"You don't have to leave, really." Jade said, trying to get to her feet but losing her balance in the process. Luke caught her and helped her back down on the bed. When she looked around, everyone but Luke had gone. She avoided looking at him for fear he would think her weak.

"Why do you fight me?" he asked, sitting down beside her. Jade inched away only to have him scoot closer. "You can't run away from me this time Jade. You can't even walk." he said softly with a light chuckle.

"I don't run away from anything." she retorted, again trying to put distance between them.

Luke caught her arm and pulled her closer. Face to face, he could sense her anxiety and smiled. Gently pressing his lips to hers, he pulled her into his embrace. He couldn't resist any longer. The more she resisted the feelings he knew she had, the more he wanted her. Jade tried to push him away only to have him hold her tighter. "See, you can't get away from me." he whispered in her ear. "Be true to your feelings Jade. I know you want me as much as I do you." he spoke softly between kisses. When she started kissing him back, he felt relieved that she did in fact feel the same way in return.

Jade wrapped her arms around Luke and felt safe. Resting her head on his shoulder, she let out a sigh of relief. "I am sorry for the way I have behaved. I know I was stubborn and disdainful." she said, her voice barely a whisper.

"Nonsense. That is what drew me to you in the first place." he replied smiling.

They heard the door open behind them but made no effort to move.

"That's more like it kid." came Han's voice behind them, as he pulled the door closed behind him. Luke and Jade laughed softly.

"Well, I guess the cat's out of the bag." Luke said, brushing her hair across her shoulders.

"It was out of the bag a long time ago. Or did you forget shouting earlier?" she asked coyly.

"No, I didn't forget." he said, kissing her once again. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Written by Fairy

Fairy sighed. SO Jade got Luke. She was quite jealous. She had transported herself up to a tower to get away, because everyone wanted to know how she could be the Earth princess and Allie at the same time.

The beloved of her princess-self had no memory of them... and her Allie-self was too shy to get involved with anyone. True, she had feelings for Jareth, but considered herself too young for him. Everyone knew that.

She sighed, reaching out with her life sensing ability to observe the goings on in the Labyrinth.

"Fairybite?" She turned, startled, at a voice behind her. Leia. Despite what the others might think, Fairy had sensed that Leia was not a mean person, just extremely worried about Han. Now her face was gentle and compassionate as she looked at the girl. "Did you ever realize that this strange ability of yours includes the Force?"

Fairy stared at her in shock. That made a great deal of sense. She had always wondered where her life sensing came from. She was about to make an answer when she felt something... _wrong_. Suddenly the sky darkened.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

WHERE did you say we were?
By Aurelia Destiny
~*~*~*~*

Aurelia pressed into the shadows, keeping the smoothness of the wall against her back. Storm Troopers passed occasionally, going about their duties. But she ignored them. They weren't the reason she was there, though they were to bear the consequences as much as their Emperor. *Okay Vader, Emperor* She thought, green eyes narrowed. *Where are you?* Aurelia waited till another detachment passed, then moved out into the light of the corridor. Her long robes made slight noise as she moved swiftly down the halls. From what she could remember of the Star Destroyer, when she had been prisoner, the space ship was huge. And because the Emperor was so powerful, he was VERY hard to locate. Vader however...He was easier by far. His almost hidden feelings for his son, disrupted the field of power about his body. When it might have otherwise hidden him from her mind. He was in a turning-point of his life, struggling between the darkness and his loyalty to the Emperor and his love for Luke.

Aurelia suddenly felt Vader's presence. Her eyes swung upwards to the roof. Green eyes narrowed with concentration, she reached out with her mind. There. Vader was three floors above her. On the bridge of the Star Destroyer. That would make it harder. The dark Lord of Sith was surrounded by guards.

A slight movement behind her made Aurelia spin around. Her mouth fell open slightly as she saw who was hidden in the shadows. "SARAH?" Aurelia whispered fiercely. "How did you get here?"

The dark-haired girl crept out of the shadows of the wall and over to the older girl. "I sort of hitched a ride when you came here." Sarah brushed back her hair defiantly. "I'm sick of being helpless. Besides, you were so busy talking to Luke, you never saw me sneaking up behind you"

"So brave child" Aurelia's eyes glinted with amusement. "No wonder Jareth loves you"

"What?" Sarah gasped, eyes wide with disbelief. "Are you JOKING? He doesn't care about anyone but himself"

"You really believe that? Even after he let you win. Don't you remember how he sang to you" Aurelia shook her head, long dark hair falling about her head and shoulders in a silken cloud. Her green eyes were troubled as she looked into Sarah's eyes. The girl truly thought Jareth was the cold Goblin King he pretended to be.

Sarah blinked at her, recalling her adventure through the Labyrinth. "Everything I've done-"

"We can talk about this another time" Aurelia broke in, stiffening. Some troops were headed their way. She stared hard at the younger girl. "I should send you back"

"I won't go" Sarah said stubbornly, thrusting out her chin in defiance.

Aurelia shook her head at the girl. She and Jareth were so alike it was frustrating that Sarah didn't see it! Aurelia stepped closer, making the girl realize she was deadly serious.

"You stay out of my way. If I tell you to run or hide, you do it"

"I-All right" Sarah gave in, stepping backwards. The beautiful girl, who the other's had said was a Princess, was frightening sometimes. She defiantly had an air of command about her!

"Take my hand" Aurelia said urgently. Sarah's grasped her hand and they disappeared moments before a detachment appeared.

~~~~~~~~~~~~`

"No" A voice whispered, red eyes wide. This wasn't meant to happen. Aurelia KNEW the rules and yet, here she was interfering.

"You better stop her" A mocking voice said lazily in her ear. Sailor Pluto spun around, her nose bashing into her God's lightly muscled chest. He was So annoying sometimes!

"I KNOW that!" Setsuna snapped, backing away a few feet. She could think better when Pluto wasn't so near to her.

Pluto watched her with interest, green eyes amused as always. "What are you going to do?"

"Change the game. Get my daughter away form there" Sailor Pluto whirled away with frustration, staring at the vision of Aurelia appearing with Sarah in a corridor outside the Bridge. "YOU could do something!" She said accusingly.

Pluto shrugged, his mouth curving into a smile. Setsuna was again sharply reminded how handsome he was. "Where is the fun in all that?" he demanded lightly.

"Fun" She snorted. "I thought Aurelia was your favorite!"

Pluto's smile widened. "She is" Then he disappeared. Sailor Pluto frowned at the place he had been, then summoned her Staff.

"She had better not be harmed by this" She warned, knowing he was listening. Setsuna turned back to the vision of her daughter and Sarah.

"Forgive me for making this so hard on you, Aurelia" She gestured with the staff, the Garnet Orb flaring brightly. The last thing she saw was Aurelia's startled face as she realized what was happening.

~~~~~~~~~~

"what's happening?" Jade shrieked as they were all consumed by a bright green light. everything went dark for a moment...Then blindingly bright. She winced as the sun hit her eyes. Nothing that bright could have been anything else. She stared around, seeing nothing but sand.

"Where are we?" I know" Leia groaned, covering her eyes with her hand. "so does Luke"

A bright flash preceded two figures. One fell gracefully from the air, the other fell with a slight thump. Jareth started forward and helped Sarah up.

"Are you all right?" he asked her. She realized who was holding her arm and jerked it away.

"I'm fine"

Jade looked at the other person and her eyes lit up with happiness.

"Aurelia!" She shrieked, throwing herself towards her friend. Luke was thrust aside, staring with open mouth at Aurelia. She seemed pretty annoyed, come to think of it, Jade thought. She backed off, looking into furious green eyes. Her beautiful friend looked mad enough to kill.

"What-Never mind. HOW did you get here?" Jade said, thrusting her face close. She was pushed aside roughly by Sailor Terra.

"That's what I want to know. By the look on your face, you didn't bring yourself here" The Senshi crossed her arms. "So who DID?"

"I did" A voice said calmly. They all spun to see a Senshi standing there, her long green hair blowing in the breeze.

"Who are you?" Leia asked, eyes on the hair. It really was an incredible color!

"I am Sailor Pluto, the Guardian of Time" The woman spoke to Leia, but her eyes were on Aurelia.

"Guardian of TIME?" Luke gasped. The immensity of what the woman had said was staggering.

Aurelia strode passed the others, stopping just short of Sailor Pluto. "I'm sorry" She whispered. "I didn't mean for you to be forced in taking a hand in this"

"It's too late now" Sailor Pluto said coolly. Then she smiled, red eyes full of love. she reached out a hand and brushed her fingers against Aurelia's cheek gently.

"Mother" Aurelia said, green eyes full of regret.

"You cannot interfere in Time, my daughter. The emperor and his servants must live to keep the balance in this Universe" She looked at the other's, there faces uncomprehending. Sailor Pluto looked at Sailor Terra. "You also should have known better"

Sailor Terra sighed, looking at the ground. She was pretty awed by Sailor Pluto's presence. The woman had always commanded such respect from them all. But this! She turned to stare at Aurelia. "Pluto is you MOTHER?" she gasped.

Sailor Pluto stared around, then stepped back from Aurelia reluctantly. "I have to go. But I think you're about to have company of some sort" She looked at Han briefly. "Some old...Friend's of your I believe. Bounty Hunters, sent by Jabba"

"Oh bloody hell" Han swore. Leia frowned at him, crossing her arms.

Sailor Pluto disappeared, leaving them all staring in the direction she had pointed. As one, they turned to run the other way.

"Where did you say we were again" Jade demanded of her love. Luke gave her a slightly disgusted look.

"Tatooine!" He shouted, grabbing her hand and running faster. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Written by Fairy

Fairy ran. This was getting curiouser and curiouser, as Alice would have said. Aurelia was Setsuna's daughter. Sailorpluto had stopped Aurelia from tampering with time and dumped them all on Tatooine. Jareth was absent. And there were bounty hunters on their trail.

There was actually only one thing that made no sense, besides Pluto's risking the alter ego of Neo Queen Serenity's future ruling sister. That was...

"Why are we running?!" Everyone skidded to a halt and stared at her.

"Because the bounty hunters are after us, of course," Han snapped, looking at her like she was brain-dead. She returned the look.

"Well, it would make more sense to find someplace to defend then to expend precious energy running through a hot desert, wouldn't it?"

"That makes sense," Luke agreed, "but where-"

"I sense a cool cave with a narrow opening," the soldier of earth cut him off.

"Yes," he said, looking at her, before taking the lead- arm in arm with Jade.

They had barely set up a defense when the bounty hunters, led by Boba Fett, appeared at their doorstep. "Surrender, Solo, or your friend here gets it," they threatened.

They parted to reveal Jareth, tied up and obviously helpless. "NO!" Sarah and Fairy screamed. The earth senshi sensed an impending conflict between the two of them, but now was not the time.

"If you DARE hurt him...!" she bit out, stepping through the cave's narrow entrance as her fuku morphed into a dark green jumpsuit with a Terra insignia. Gesturing, she conjured a crystal. It turned into a light saber. The others stared in shock, and, in Leia's case, triumph, as she ignited the white-violet blade expertly.

"Why do you people insist on fighting when you don't have to?" Jade asked, then continued. "Anger and aggression lead to the dark side." Jareth now stood beside her in all his regal glory. Everyone looked at her with surprise. "What? I am not helpless you know." she stated, then disappeared from their sight.

"Where is she?" Fairy asked.

"I don't know." replied Aradia.

"She's probably doing something stupid again." Jareth stated.

"Anyone see her?" Aurelia demanded, her eyes flashing intensely.

"There!" Han shouted, pointing out across the desert sands to a figure on the horizon. They could barely make it out, but could tell the figure was walking away. "Of all the pig-headed ideas. You know she's gonna get hurt one of these days." Han mumbled.

The bounty hunters saw her as well. "Get her!" Boba Fett commanded.

"No!" Luke yelled. Aurelia caught his arm.

"Luke it would do no good for you to be caught as well." she said, dread filling her voice.

"She's right Luke." Leia agreed.

They all watched as the Bounty hunters closed the gap between them and the figure on the horizon. The figure struggled and was shoved into their transport. Aurelia dropped her gaze.

"What's going on?" Lisa asked, sitting high on the rocks with Jade.

"What the-?" Han started, looking up.

"What are you two doing up there?" Leia asked, peering up to where the voice came from..

"Sitting." Lisa answered bluntly.

Han snickered under his breath, then reality set in. "If she's up there? Then who's out there?" They all turned and glanced back out across the sand.

I am WHO'S child?
By Aradia
~*~*~*~*

Aradia moved away from her friends. She was happy for Luke and Jade but she was terrified. Jade. .Aradia shook her head. Ever since Palpatine had read her mind she'd been sick. She had tried to lead the others but it hadn't been her. It had been something else.

Aradia turned to look at Jareth. He smiled and touched her arm. "Aradia what do you know about your family?" The girl looked at him. "Jareth, what has gotten into you?" Jareth bowed his head and said to her softly, "Your father has been gone for some time hasn't he?.." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

NOW What?!
By Fairy
~*~*~*~*

Fairy looked around. Suddenly, she noticed who was missing. "Sarah!" she gasped in dismay. What had gotten into that girl?!

The others' faces registered shock as well. Jareth had been talking to Aradia, but now he was staring towards the retreating transport, looking stricken.

The young senshi/jedi felt her heart ache, but tried to put that aside. A Jedi feels no pain, physically, but emotional pain wouldn't help, either. She couldn't let her envy of Sarah get in the way of rescuing the girl, whom she liked a good deal, as well.

"Let's go get the slime!" Lisa gritted, angry that the bounty hunters would dare touch anyone from their group, even Sarah.

"No, wait!" Everyone turned to Fairy in surprise. Quietly, she continued, "Jade was right. Anger and aggression are the path to the dark side. The Jedi code says... there is no passion, there is serenity." She looked at Jade and Luke apologetically. "I got carried away by my feelings before. I am sorry. We need to save Sarah, but perhaps we could better do it by stealth."

The others slowly nodded, Jareth a bit grudgingly. They began to work it out.
