Death Watch: Part 2
The Jedi shuttle landed on Mandalore. Duchess Satine was waiting along with some of her personal bodyguards and the new Prime Minister of Mandalore, Aris. "Duchess Satine," Anakin, Ahsoka and Obi-Wan said, bowing. Satine smiled.
"It's wonderful to see you all," Satine replied. "But I don't believe we've met," she pointed out, looking at Tanya and Barriss.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Duchess Satine," Tanya and Barriss greeted her, bowing.
"I'm Barriss."
"And I am Tanya."
"Well, it is wonderful to meet you too," Satine smiled.
"I wish our arrival wasn't under such circumstances," Obi-Wan said.
"Yes," Prime Minister Aris interrupted. He was a tall, bald man with a hooked nose who looked like a bald vulture. "Death Watch is getting out of hand again."
"We believe we have found their base," Anakin cut in. "We'll be sending the padawans to confirm their presence before we start the assault."
"One slight problem with your plan, Master Jedi," Prime Minister Aris interrupted again. "No off-worlders are allowed to have weapons in their possession."
"I am working on getting permits for them," Duchess Satine cut in. "But it might take some time."
"Time that we might not have," Obi-Wan pointed out. "The padawans will go ahead and we will join them once we have the permits."
"Very well," Prime Minister Aris frowned. "Give your lightsabers to your pilot and tell him to fly out into Mandalore's orbit. You will stay here until we have the permits while the padawans go ahead." They obliged. Once the Jedi's shuttle had taken off, the Mandalorian transport took its place.
"Be careful, Ahsoka," Anakin warned. "May the Force be with you."
Ahsoka smiled. "May the Force be with you as well, Master."
She bowed to her master and joined her friends on the transport to Concordia, and to their mission.
