Titanium Squad Saga Book Three: Mandalorian Mayhem

Summary: Chaos is raining down on Mandalore as Darth Maul and his cronies attempt to take over the planet and overthrow Duchess Satine. When Maul captures Satine and Padmé, it is up to Anakin, Obi-Wan, Rex, Cody, and Titanium Squad to stop Maul and save the day. The question is, will they succeed or die trying?

Disclaimer: I do not own the clone wars, but Titanium Squad is mine.

Chapter One

It was a dark day on the planet of Mandalore. Ever since Darth Maul had overthrown Pre Visla and claimed leadership of Death Watch, crime had begun to spread all over the capital city. Duchess Satine had hoped that the matter could be resolved without the need to get the Republic involved. After all, she wanted Mandalore to remain neutral.

" Satine, is everything okay? You seem troubled." said Satine's sister Bo-Katan Kryze. Bo-Katan was once a member of Death Watch back when Pre Visla was in charge. She and a few other loyalists left after Maul took over and formed their own group, the Nite Owls.

" I don't know Bo, the peaceful times of Mandalore are falling apart right before our eyes. Darth Maul and his minions have been terrorizing our people to the point that they are demanding that we get the Republic to intervene." Satine said in a grave tone of voice.

" And you think that Republic intervention will only result in Mandalore being ripped of it's neutrality and be forced to participate in the war." Bo said as she looked out the window towards the city.

" Yes, and I would like Mandalore to remain neutral in this war. being a part of the war would only result in countless deaths and lots of suffering."

" Why don't you speak to your friend Senator Amidala about the situation. Perhaps she can come up with a diplomatic solution to this mess." Bo suggested.

" That's an excellent idea! I'll go contact Padmé and ask her to come to Mandalore." Satine said as she headed to the palace's communication room.

Meanwhile, in the dark underbelly of the capital city, a group of bounty hunters were waiting for their employers to show up. The group consisted of Cad Bane, Boba Fett, Bossk, Dengar, IG-88, and a recently freed Brick. Suddenly, two cloaked figures approached the group. it was Darth Maul and his brother Savage Oppress.

" What's the plan boss? Me and the others are wanting to attack the palace as soon as possible before the authorities discover us." Brick said, impatience laced in his voice.

" Patience there my friend. This plan of ours will show the Republic that Death Watch is one terrorist group that's not to be trifled with. Once Senator Amidala shows up, we will attack the palace and take her, the Duchess, and everyone else captive. If the Republic doesn't meet our demands, we'll execute the prisoners." Maul said in a commanding tone.

As everyone cheered for Darth Maul, they were unaware that he would end up betraying them to fulfil his desire of getting revenge on the jedi master who was the cause of his suffering, Obi-Wan Kenobi.

And that is the end of chapter one. Leave a review and I will get chapter two posted real soon.
