The New Jedi temple Rebuilt by The Galactic Alliance. The Temple looked just like it did in its older days before the Great Jedi Purge.But the Training room or as some call it The Sparing Room. The door to this room was shut but inside you could hear the snap hiss of a lightsaber.
Inside the room was Jedi Master Luke Skywalker it was his lightsaber that we hear, The Jedi master was honing his saber skill so that he wouldn't forget them, he was Currently practicing the combat form of Vapaad this form of saber combat was created by the late Mace Windu. This form allowed the user to have a small touch with the dark side it is not a form that should be taught to young-lings, It is a very powerful form.
Luke's Saber shot up and down and he spun to dodge the Robot he made to help him train, This robot was currently on the difficultly level that Luke called "Darth Vader Level".Luke parried an attack from the droid, He spun and sliced down at its legs but it blocked it, Luke then stumbled but regained his balance with the force,Luke then jumped into the air spun and he did a direct head shot and the droid blocked it.Luke then went on a relentless attack on the droid, He finally cut off the droids legs and one arm, he smiled and he stabbed it through the 'chest'. Luke then deactivated his saber and he clipped it and he walked into the showers, He stripped his clothes and he jumped in and he got out a few minutes later.
He walked out of the showers back into the training room and he smiled and walked to the council chamber, he stood in the room with the Force flowing around him, He looked out the window watching the busy coruscant night.

Mara walked the echoing halls of the Temple, footsteps muffled by the lack of any shoes on her feet. Bits of rebellion still burned through her after all these years, though she didn't recognize it at the time. Curiosity flowed around her as strong as the Force might do, and it waxed and ebbed with every step as she closed in on the door she sought. The slight mechanical sound of a saber touched her ears, and somehow she knew that it wasn't just any such weapon. It belonged to her husband, and though she couldn't explain it, simply being "his" gave the saber a sound that she could identify anywhere.
A smile and a sigh flew to her mouth; she was relieved. She'd been looking everywhere. Spending no time with Luke during the day was hard enough even when she saw him. But when he took off at night...
The sound flickered and was soon replaced by running water, and glimpsing inside of the room she was greeted by a smell of burning metal. Hm... That's just like him.. she thought, as she closed the door and continued down the hall. Luke was never one to leave an opponent alive.
She entered the council chamber quietly, shutting the door behind her softly. Her husband's back greeted her, and she simply stood there for a moment, taking in the Coruscant lights the way he was.

Luke felt Mara's presence in the Temple before she even arrived in the chamber, He smiled and he still kept his consentration with the force and he said "Good Evening Love" Luke was one of the only Jedi alive today who was married aside from Leia who was married before she became a jedi, Luke Married Mara Jade a few years ago, When he was just becoming a Jedi Master, He loved her, But he wasnt going to be like his Father and turn to the dark Side, Luke experenced that side about four years ago he didnt want to experence it agian. He smiled and he still stood there a still as ever.

Mara smiled, green eyes grazing his still-turned back. Taking a couple soft steps in his direction, she walked up beside him, looking out at the darkness punctuated by the nightlife outside. Her hands gracefully clasped behind her back, she moved one, never moving otherwise, and slid it into his right hand.
"I've been looking for you everywhere."

Luke smiled and he decided tha the was going to break the consentration witht the force, it wasnt every day a jedi got to spend time with his wife, Luke felt her take his hand and he smiled and he kissed her on the cheek and he and her walked over to one of the chairs that were in the room. He looked around and he smiled and he said "You know, when ever i was here a few months ago when ever it was destroyed I felt my Fathers presence here, It was a force footprint, It was when he was young, and i found a recording of him, Killing younglings". Luke stopped for a moment and he said "anakin Skywalker was a handsom man, Too bad he had to be turned to the dark Side, if he wasnt he could still be around today".

Mara nodded as she listened to him. Memories flooded back to her mind, her one chance meeting with Luke's father. But then, he hadn't really been his father.
"You don't sound mournful anymore." she said, more to herself rather than him. "It's almost as if... you're forgiving. At least forgetting."
She looked up to him, a stray lock of auburn hair curling into her eye.
"I never met your father, the real man behind the mask," a soft smile touched her lips, "But from what I have seen and heard, you look just like him."

Luke nodded and he said "Yes i do, About a year ago i met a Jedi that Survived the Great Purge and he thought i was Anakin Skywalker". Luke then stood up and he walked over to the window and he pointed out across the city at a tall building that used to be the Imperial Center tower and he said "That was where my Father was turned, Sedused(sp?) by the dark side, from the recordings i have seen he attacked Jedi Master Mace Windu to save Palpitine".

Long legs carried her over to his position again, going closer to the window this time, her back to him. She nodded, a graceful tilt of her head resulting in a tumble of hair from the knot tied by her neck. Rolling her eyes at her wild hair, she started to redo the small bun.
"I had heard about that from Palpatine himself. He respected Vader-" she paused, hands still working with the complicated curls on her head. "Your father, very much so."
A hairpin dropped to the floor and she resisted the urge to curse. Her hair would never be tamed, not unlike herself in her youth. She bent down and picked up the cursed item, pocketing it and crossing her arms around herself. Lights flew by the window, blurring and speeding, then slowing down and pausing completely at intervals. She sighed slightly, inaudibly, speaking to the glass.
"How do you do it?" she asked rhetorically, glancing at the floor. "How do you maintain your sanity, knowing that your father killed hundreds of people? And good people, at that? And knowing that your wife once tried to do the same thing?" She looked back at him, emotion and love flowing in her eyes.
"It was good fortune that brought me to you, my love. Even under such circumstances."

Luke smiled and he looked at her and he said "You wernt there when i found out that Vader was Anakin Skywalker, It hurt me But then i remember the words of Ben or Obi-Wan as you may know him" Luke then recited the words that Obi-Wan said "Your mother belived that there is still good in him" Luke smiled and he said "I remembered that and it turned out He and my Mother was right".

Mara recalled the story of his father's demise, smiling back at him.
"It seems they were." She shook her head slightly, changing subjects rather rapidly. Her mind could never seem to handle a specific train of thought for a long period of time anymore. She looked to the door behind Luke, and quirked a red eyebrow.
"Have you seen or heard from Ben today? He seems to have taken off and I wasn't sure whether he was with you, or off with some of his friends..."

Luke smiled and he said "Ben is currently with Jacen on Yavin, If you recall Jacen is his Teacher, even though Jacen is still learning i belive that he is strong enough to train Ben, But I also have a question for you, Have you seen Leia or Han lately"?

Mara shook her head.
"No, I haven't. Surely you have spoken to our niece or nephew if not the parents themselves, correct? I cannot believe that our family has such communication problems." She grinned. "Although, we do seem to be very quick in replying to each other. How long has it been since you have spoken to one of them?"

Luke thought for a moment and he said "I spoke to Jaina about three weeks ago when ever she reported in from her mission to Onderon, She told me she found something important and i may like it, I spoke to Leia about two weeks ago she told me that her diplomatic mission to Naboo is going well and that she found our mothers grave, I spoke to Jacen this morning and i also spoke to Ben". luke stopped and he thought about Han, he honestly hasnt talke dto him in a while. "And Han i belive is somewhere with lando and Lowbacca".
