CHAPTER 1
After her conversation with Agent Kallus, Minister Maketh Tua boarded another public transport ship headed to Lothal and closed her eyes. She slept through the entirety of the trip back, awakening upon arrival. Having returned, she walked to a private hanger where a modified YT-1760 was parked. She was greeted by a red head wearing a black hooded cloak who said, "I take it your mission was successful?"
The blond smirked and replied in a far less regal tone, "Damn straight it was, we'll have their location shortly."
They walked into the ship, stopping briefly when they saw a blond woman who was bound. "What should we do with her Rainah," questioned the red head.
"Nanashi wants to personally interrogate her Krys," answered Rainah.

On the fringes of the Galaxy, a Miralula sat in the command center of a Venator-class Star Destroyer. A door opened behind him, allowing a Dathomirian woman with brown hair, the left side shaved to walk in. "We just recieved word from Rainah and Krys," she said calmly, "they're currently on route to Vizago's deal."
The Miraluka smirked, "Soon that greedy worm will be dealt with, and the rebellion well under way, what's our status."
"The Katana Fleet has been completely refurbished, 50% of the Harrower-class dreadnoughts are ready, the Interdictor-class cruisers are ready, as are the Centurion-class Battlecruisers, and the old Separatist warships." she answered.
"Good," he said as he stood up and wrapped his arms around her and said, "now why don't we, pass the time Asajj."
Ventress smirked, "I suppose we could have a little fun before they arrive."

Back on Lethol, Vizago was about to run off with half the Ion Disruptors when the engines of his speeder imploded, "What the hell?!"
"Mr. Dahl knows you stole from him," said a red head as she landed on the hood of his speeder her hand extended, "And has decided to eliminate the middle man."
Before Vizago could say anything, he began choking, and eventually suffocated to death.
Kanan was on edge when he saw this display of the Dark Side; he didn't want Ezra going down that path. This girl glowed with the Dark Side, and that made her dangerous.
'I'm not here to kill you," she said coldly, "but rather deliver a job offer."
"Excuse me if I don't believe you," he retorted.
She growled and said, "We can discuss this later, but right now we have other problems to deal with."
"That's fine by me," shouted Hera.
"I need some explosives to destroy those Walkers," said Sabine.
"Don't worry about it," the red head smirked, "it'll be taken care of."
Just then, a Proton Torpedo blasted one of the Walkers to bits. Everyone turned to see a YT-1760 small transport diving towards the remaining target, which was taken down by Kanan using one of the Disruptors.
The transport landed, and Agent Kallus stepped forward holding a Bo-rifle. "LASANT, FACE ME!" Zeb was about to charge in when the red head ripped the Lasant's weapon right out of his hands with the Force saying, "He's trying to use your anger against you; let me handle this." She then activated the weapon and spun it about before settling into the Soresu opening stance, something Kanan recognized immediately.
Zeb was about to attack the girl when Kanan said, "No."
"BUT WHY NOT!"
"That's the opening stance of Form III: Soresu," Kanan answered, "I want to see how skilled she is."
"Grrr, I swear I'm going to end her," growled Zeb.
Kallus smirked before attacking the girl, who responded by blocking his every attack. "Pathetic," she taunted. Kallus grit his teeth and snarled before taking a more direct approach, which is exactly what his opponent wanted. The red head side stepped his stab and countered with a jab of her own. "Is it good for you," she cackled as she forced him to the ground, "because it's great for me."
The moment Kallus passed out she took his Bo-rifle and dealt with the Storm Troopers with tremendous ease. "My master wishes to speak with you," she said as the YT-1760 hovered overhead, "he has a proposition that you should at least hear him out on."
Zeb snarled and yelled, "THE BRAT TOOK MY BO-RIFLE!"
"Yeah," said Ezra who pointed his thumb at Kallus and said, "Along with his."
Zeb grabbed Ezra by the collar and roared, "IT IS NOT HIS! ONLY A MEMBER OF THE LASAN HONOR GUARD IS ALLOWED TO WIELD A BO-RIFLE!"
R2-D2 beeped causing C-3PO to ask, "Are you sure?"
"What's that astrodroid saying," asked Zeb.
Threepio turned and said, "He says that they are still in orbit, though I honestly doubt it myself."
Kanan realized they were waiting for the Ghost to follow them, "Hera, get the ghost ready, we're following that ship."
"You want to hear the guy's proposition don't you," she asked.
Kanan shrugged, "that and I know Zeb will never let us hear the end of it if we don't get those Bo-rifles back."
XxX
Krys walked into the cockpit and sat down beside Rainah, "Looks like they're coming."
"This is the Ghost," spoke the Twi'lek captain, "Where is it you're going to take us."
Rainah smirked and said, "This is the captain of the Stardust Ray, I'll send the coordinates directly to your Navicomputer." She then transmitted the coordinates to the Ghost.
"There's nothing at those coordinates," Hera pointed out, "no planet, no star system, nothing."
Krys smirked and said, "Which is why it's the perfect place to hide an Armada of Warships."
Hera paused as she turned to Kanan and said, "An entire Armada? That could be used to fight a war with the Empire!"
"Stardust Ray, this is specter one," said Kanan, "I would like to know why your employer has an Armada of warships."
Rainah smirked and said, "Well, specter one, that is something you'll have to come along and see for yourself."
"Alright," said Hera, "making the jump to Hyperspace now."
XxxX
A few hours later to see a massive armada consisting of countless warships, some dating back to the Jedi Civil War itself! Kanan whistled and said, "A lot of these are considered antiques."
"No kidding," Added Hera, "outdated or not though, this fleet still poses a viable threat to the Empire Love."
"Follow us," chirped Rainah as she headed for a Venator-class Star Destroyer called the Acherus. "Acherus, this is the Stardust Ray, we have the targets in tow, permission to board," she informed the command bridge of the Acherus.
"Welcome back Rainah, I hope Krys didn't cause too much trouble," stated a man's voice.
Rainah snorted, "She's nothing compared to the psycho bitch."
"I'll admit, Lady Zannah does have a tendency to be overbearing," he chortled, "we'll see you in the hanger bay."
XxX
Once inside, they saw a blond with curled hair pushing the Minister of Lethol. "You won't get away with this," Maketh threatened, "I'll make it my life's mission to see you behind bars for what you've done!"
"You wouldn't be in this situation if Darth Sidious, aka Emperor Palpatine, wasn't a bitch," cackled a woman's voice from all directions.
Maketh Tua froze, "Who said that?"
A fiery Force Shade appeared directly in front of her and said, "Me, and I am Darth Zannah, Dark Lady of the Sith, and Rainah's many times great grandmother."
"She's also a psychopath," Rainah grumbled, "and she doesn't need much provocation to kill you."
Zannah giggled, "That's right, so do yourself a favor, and behave."
Minister Tua said nothing as she nodded her head; this was turning into the strangest day of her life
"Oh," said Rainah as she turned to Sabine, "next time you claim to be a Level five academy student, make sure you look the part."
Sabine's eyes widened drastically when she realized that her outfit almost cost them the mission.
Suddenly two young children burst through the Blast Doors: a boy with brown hair and grey eyes, followed by a girl with light brown hair and Heterochromia Iridium: one blue eye, one grey. "Mommy," the both squealed with joy as they tackled Rainah.
"Mark, Mina," she said lovingly as she knelt down and hugged her children, "did you two behave for Daddy?"
"As good as gold sweetheart," answered Jedi Knight Jason Frey as he walked up to his wife and kissed her.
As surprised as Kanan was to see Jason Frey, he was completely unprepared for the public display of affection. "Of all the things you could do, that was the one thing I least expected," commented Kanan.
Jason shrugged his shoulders and said, "I always had a soft spot for sexy blonds."
Zannah snickered, "Like how Kanan and Hera have a soft spot for each other."
Hera and Kanan were blushing a deep red, neither willing to look the other.
"I believe we've teased our guests enough," stated a Miraluka who was followed by a Dathomirian woman. Kanan felt like he had seen her before, but couldn't place it.
"This coming from the wickedest tease in the galaxy," she countered.
The Miraluka chuckled, "It keeps you begging for more does it not?"
He went behind her and began planting kisses one her neck.
"Don't tease me Jerid," she whined.
Jerid chuckled and said, "It's not like we can do anything with company, Asajj."
Kanan's eyes wideed in disbelief, "You're Asajj Ventress?"
She looked him in the eyes and said, "Yes I am."
"I heard you were bald," he stated.
The Dathimirian smiled, "Oh that, pfft, I had shaved it clean at the time."
"Anyways, I'd like to see the Disruptors," stated Jerid.
Zeb growled, "And what exactly do you plan to do with them?"
"Use them as prototypes for mass-production for use against the Empire," he replied calmly, "After all, what goes around comes around."
Zeb chuckle at that and said, "I'm starting to like you."
"Well I'm a likeable guy," he responded.
"Your employee said something about a Job offer," interjected Kanan.
Jerid smirked and said, "You mean my Sith Apprentice, Darth Krys." Kanan drew his lightsaber, only for the Miraluka to snatch it out of his hands with the Force, "While I am technically a Sith Lord, I do not care for their teachings and philosophies." He returned the Jedi's weapon saying, "After this is all said and done, I will remake the Sith into an Order of Avengers."
"The Galaxy has on need for the Sith or an Order of Avengers," argued Kanan.
"On the contrary," countered Jerid, "Democracy has failed the people in the past numerous times, and will do so once restored." He chuckled darkly and said, "and so the Galaxy needs a group of Avengers to correct these failures, and the Sith are perfect for the job."
"It also helps that the Sith operate best from the shadows," added Zannah.
Kanan sighed and said, "So what's the Job."
"To help me find my father," answered Rainah, "Obi-Wan Kenobi."
