quietlunatic Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 There, I posted the "dumb newb" icon so you don't have to. A while ago, when only the most cursory details of JKII were known (it has Kyle Katarn! ), I wrote up a speculative fanfic about what Kyle's adventures would be like in the NJO, the era I was hoping JKII would be in... A Return to Arms It's one of the longer reads (about 30 pages in MS Word), but I hope you'll find it worthwhile. Thanks! ql Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quietlunatic Posted June 28, 2002 Author Share Posted June 28, 2002 Thank you! I've lurked here for a while, actually (since March), but between trying to beat Desann on Jedi Master (soon... ) and finishing up "A Return to Arms", I haven't had much time.

quietlunatic Posted June 28, 2002 Author Share Posted June 28, 2002 You all probably want a summary/excerpt before you spend a half hour reading through this, right? Setting - NJO, alternate universe Main Characters - Kyle, Jan, and Alex Katarn Secondary Characters - Han and Leia Solo, Luke Skywalker Summary - Destiny continues to call the Katarns, even after they have sworn off their adventurous past. Genres - Alternate Universe, Action, Drama (In this Alternate Universe, the Vong are not quite as infalliable.) I leapt forward, and in a single graceful arc, my attacker’s face quaked and was dissolved in a golden shower. I smiled and deactivated my lightsaber. I saw another shadow of the future, my mind recoiled in horror, and I whirled around to see twenty-three Yuuzhan Vong. In an instant, my mind changed from ultimate triumph to terrible defeat. My concentration was broken, the Force deserted me, but still my legendary resolve remained. I will die as I have lived; fighting against the odds. The young agent against the Imperial war machine, the untried Knight against seven grave robbers, and finally, the lone Jedi against an enigmatic enemy. I charged against them, resigned to go down fighting. Each of my enemies drew a small creature and flung it at me. Having lost my concentration, the Force did not aid my attacks, nor did it inform me that these creatures will follow their target - me. I realized that too late. I jumped, spun, and slashed in a mad expenditure of energy, and half of the bugs missed their target. As I vaulted away from another serpent creature, I caught one, two, three, four, five on my blade, and then my body went awash in agony as a creature caught me square in the chest. I resigned myself to my fate – there it is, Katarn. You’ve gone down fighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
