REVENGE OF THE VICTIMS

Disclaimer: I do not own Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Star Wars or any of their characters.
Summary: A human Jedi, a Twi'lek bodyguard and a human Nightsister, are brought back by the Force to avenge their deaths, against the one responsible for it: Darth Maul.
Authors Notes: When I was reviewing Darth Maul's history on Wookiepedia, I came across three people that he had killed, all of them hot women. So I couldn't resist trying to write this up to see just how it would change things in the Star Wars universe. Will be three chapters. Maybe.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Chapter 1
Unusual Alliance
(Dark underbelly of Coruscant)
Beneath a warehouse in a dark section of the Coruscant underworld, three figures lay.
The first was a blond haired, blue-eyed woman, dressed in the robes of a Jedi Padawan. She carried a yellow-bladed lightsaber.
Her name was Darsha Assant, human padawan to Twi'lek Jedi Master Anoon Bondara. She had been killed in an explosion in a warehouse while fighting the deadly Sith Apprentice, Darth Maul.
The second was a white-skinned female Twi'lek. She had gray eyes and no hair. She wore a brown and black outfit that covered most of her body, including her headtails. She carried a pair of perpendicular-shaped guard shotos with deep purple blades.
Her name was Sinya. She had once been a bodyguard to one of the Black Suns Vigos, a Dug named Darnada, until she was killed by Darth Maul, who beheaded her.
The third figure was a human Nightsister from the planet Dathomir. She had brown hair, yellow eyes which were a signed of her Dark Side influence. She had pale white skin with black tattoos on her eyes, nose, and cheeks, as well as ones on either side of her lips that gave the impression that she was constantly smiling, even if she wasn't. She had a gold pendant shaped like an arrowhead affixed to her forehead. She possessed a sword that could withstand lightsaber attacks for a limited period of time. She also possessed precognition and force lightning powers.
Her name was Mighella. She had once been the bodyguard/assassin to Alexi Garyn, the then-leader of the Black Sun crime syndicate. Until she too was killed by Darth Maul, who cut her in half at the waist.
"What happened?" the Twi'lek asked with a groan, unconsciously rubbing her neck.
"Where am I?" the blond-haired woman asked.
"And who are you?" the pale and painted woman asked the pair.
"I am Darsha Assant, Jedi Padawan to Anoon Bondara." the blond haired female said. "Before I was... killed."
"I'm Sinya. I was a bodyguard to one of the Black Sun vigos. Before I was... killed." the white-skinned Twi'lek said.
"My name is Mighella. I was killed too. Protecting my master, who lead the Black Sun." the harlequin-like woman said.
Darsha looked at the pair of female enforcers curiously. Ordinarily she would have never considered associating with the likes of them, a pair of enforcers for the infamous criminal organization, but she could feel that she had something in common with the pair.
"Who killed you?" Darsha asked.
"A Sith Lord. I believe his name was... Maul." Mighella said.
"Red and black tattoo markings? Horns on his head?" Darsha asked.
"Wielding a double-bladed red lightsaber?" Sinya asked.
"Yes." Mighella said.
"He killed me too." Darsha said.
"And me." Sinya stated.
"So... that's why." Darsha mused.
"Why what?" Sinya asked.
"Why we're all alive. Why we're all here. All three of us, together, despite being from different lives. We have something in common. The one who killed us." Darsha stated.
The other two looked at each other and seemed to understand.
"Yes. But... how did we get here? We all died. What brought us back?" Sinya asked.
"The Force." Mighella said.
"The Force? Are you serious?" Sinya asked in disbelief.
"It's the only thing I can think of." the Nightsister said.
"Agreed." The Padawan said.
"Okay. So... how does that help us?" the Twi'lek asked.
"Simple. We have been given a second chance. For only one purpose." Mighella said. "We must work together to find our murderer. We avenge ourselves."
"A good plan. Only... we don't know where he is." Darsha said.
"I do. Or... at least, I know where he will be." Mighella said.
"Really. Where?" Sinya asked.
"Naboo." the Nightsister said.
"That's a sovereign planet in the Chommell Sector near the Outer Rim territories." Darsha replied.
The three women looked at each other and nodded in silent agreement.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
"Where are we going?" Darsha asked.
"To get a ship to take us to Naboo." Mighella said.
"I don't see why we can't just go to the Jedi Temple and get a ship." Darsha stated.
"Because we don't have time." Mighella said.
"And besides, they think you're dead." Sinya added.
"Your, and our, being back from the dead, would bring up a lot of odd questions, and we don't have time for that. Once we're finished with Maul, then you can play Question and Answer with your Jedi Masters." Mighella said.
Darsha didn't like that idea, but she realized it was probably the better way to handle things.
She had died. The Jedi Council must have realized this by now. Though she was unaware of just how much time had passed between her death and now, she knew that it was essential to get to Naboo as quickly and as quietly as possible. A part of her wondered if the Council was aware of the Black Sun organization being taken down by this Sith assassin.
Some might have considered it a public service that Black Sun was no longer in operation. Or at least majorly crippled.
"Mighella?" Darsha asked.
"Yes?" the Nightsister responded, even as she led the pair through the 'underworld'.
"You have the power of precognition. Do you know if Maul knows we're alive?" the Jedi Padawan asked.
"I cannot say for certain. But I do know that our circumstances are unique, which will undoubtably be overlooked by even a Sith, considering he thinks we're all dead." Mighella said.
"Because he killed us." Sinya said.
"I guess that'll help." Darsha said.
"If we take him by surprise, all at once, we might have a chance." Sinya said.
"Might? We're going to take down a Sith Lord... on a 'might'?" Darsha asked. Having faced the man that had killed her master, Darsha was more than a little apprehensive.
"You have a better idea?" Sinya asked.
"Not yet, but hopefully by the time we get to Naboo, I will." Mighella said.
"Well, we've all got a score to settle." the Twi'lek said.
"Not to seem insolent, but we all failed to fight Maul ourselves. Our best chance is to take him together. As a team." Darsha said.
The pair looked at each other and then at the Jedi.
"You're assuming a lot from us." Sinya said.
"I'm simply asking you to consider the facts in this. We've all faced this Sith on our own, and we were all killed. We've been given a second chance at life, and we're choosing to go after this Sith and stop him once and for all. Our best chance at defeating him, is by working together."
The pair said nothing to the Jedi, and continued to move through the massive and dark underbelly of Coruscant.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The trio eventually came to a large garage near the Industrial Zone.
"What is this?" Darsha asked.
"It was a storehouse for some of Black Sun's goods and wares." Mighella said as she punched in the code for the garage.
The doors opened and the trio walked inside.
There were several crates against the walls, but the object that drew their attention was the large ship in the middle of the garage.
"What is that?" Darsha asked, staring at the mostly dull-gray ship with blue markings on it.
"That's a modified XS stock light freighter!" Sinya gasped as she saw the ship.
The ship was 88 meters long, 101 meters wide, about 27 meters high, it had a working hyper drive engine, shields, 2 Soniver Arms HSG-67 laser cannons and missile batteries, one escape pod, a lounge and sleeping quarters for a captain and a small crew.
"It was meant to be a back-up ship. In case of emergencies." Mighella said.
"Well, we have an emergency now, don't we?" the Jedi said.
"Does this ship have a name?" Sinya asked.
"It does not. We should probably name it." the Nightsister said.
"How about... The Second Chance?" Darsha suggested.
The pair looked at her and shrugged.
"The Second Chance, huh?" Sinya rolled the name over her tongue.
"We've been given a second chance, and so has this ship." Mighella said.
"It seems appropriate." Darsha said.
With that, the trio of formerly deceased females boarded the ship.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Authors Notes:
I was inspired to write this when I rewatched Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, and saw just how deadly Darth Maul was. It seemed rather limited to think his kill record was only one Jedi Master before he was killed by Obi-Wan. So, I looked him up and Wookiepedia (Yes, it's a real site) I found out that he went through quite a lot in his youth before going to Tatooine to kill the Jedi and take Padme back to Naboo to sign the treaty.
Amongst his kills were:
Darsha Assant - female Jedi Padawan.
Sinya - female Twi'lek bodyguard.
Mighella - female human Nightsister/bodyguard.
After reading up on their own histories, I thought, 'What would happen if they actually were brought back? Like several other authors have done in their stories where people are killed and brought back for whatever reason?'
So here is the first chapter of a new story. And yes, I know I shouldn't be doing this, but I can't help it. I'm bored. Again. And again.
Plus, this is a story that I'm sure hasn't been written with these characters in it. I'm pretty sure.
Read and Review.
