Tristan entered the throne room where his concerned mother was pacing around the room.
"Did you find out what's wrong with your sister?" asked Ursa.
"Yes I did" replied Tristan, thinking his mother would start laughing when he explained. And when he did explain what Sabine told him, she had a nervous expression.
"It's probably...just a simple nightmare nothing serious" stammered Ursa. "Clearly this is just a result of carrying the Darksabre and it's just a burden. I think its best to ignore it".
"Ignore it?" asked Tristan. "But you were worried yesterday night and now your saying it's no big deal?"
"Yes, now if you excuse me I have something to take care of".
Ursa walked into the training room and pressed a secret button on one of the training staffs, opening a passage way, underground. After she went down it the secret door sealed itself. She went down to the bottom, which was very dark. All around her were the pictures from the Mandalorian history, but in the middle was the large portrait of Darth Nihilus, the lord of hunger. Ursa glared at it, nervously and bravely. She then picked up the journal, labelled "7" on the desk.
"I knew this day would come" she sighed. She then spotted the Darksabre on the desk as well. Sabine was here. Ursa picked it up and then examined it. But something scraped along the sabre caught her attention- some sort of grey dust.
"Of course!" she muttered. "Now it makes sense!"
Emperor Palpatine, accompanied by 17 Royal guards marched towards his imperial shuttle.
"Master, do you require any assistance?" asked his loyal aide, Darth Vader.
"No, I must handle this myself" vowed Sidious, who could feel the threat of the Eternal empire.
As Hera and the others approached the blue Chiss shuttle, another black imperial shuttle was seen zooming past, preparing to land. It was Director Krennic's Delta class imperial shuttle.
"An imperial ship!" spotted Zeb.
"Karabast!" cursed Ezra.
"Quickly we got to get away!" urged Kanan.
"No if they see our ship going they might think we are supporting you!" warned Ar'alani.
"I am still part of the Imperial government I must do as my superiors command" interrupted Eli.
"Well your Empire is about to be destroyed by another empire!" Kanan shot back.
"Maybe I can explain it to them".
Thrawn, Tarkin, Krennic and a squad of Death troopers marched in a single line towards the governor's tower.
"This reminds me of when I found Galen after so long, we were all walking like this" remembered the director.
"Now remember these are my people so do not do anything to provoke them" warned Thrawn.
"Of course not, we wouldn't want to lose our greatest admiral" replied Tarkin. But Thrawn was getting concerned. If they had a planet killer to suppress all opposition what use did they have for the Chiss.
Eli along with several Chiss troopers waited for them at the entrance. They had a plan to send several mercenaries, working for them, to attack the imperials to make it look like a rebel attack while the real rebels escaped.
"Eli Vanto, it is good to see you after all this time" greeted Thrawn.
"I was about to say the same thing, Grand admiral, I have heard of your successful attacks on the rebel scum that threaten our empire" responded Eli.
"Please take us to the governor".
"Of course".
Just as they began walking the "rebels" attacked them from the roof. The Death troopers stood in front of their superiors, while the others shot at the attackers.
"It's a trap! Kill them!" ordered Tarkin.
"See the rebels are behind this" grunted Krennic.
Ezra, hiding behind some crates, used the force to reflect the shots back at the troopers, but it did little effect on their armour.
"Whoa I've never seen these troopers before" gasped Ezra. Kanan grabbed him.
"Quickly we need to go!" he urged, running.
As the "rebels" were killed, the ship escaped unnoticed. A few hours later, the imperials entered the governor's house.
"Grand moff Tarkin" greeted Yulrax. The Death troopers shot all of his guards.
"What is the meaning of this Thrawn you traitor, how dare you attack your masters!" yelled Yulrax.
"We have been in contact wit the Chiss Ascendancy, they have declared you are a traitor for harbouring terrorists" said Thrawn.
Yulrax kept his knife hidden behind his back. "You are the traitor Thrawn and you will die! I will make sure you die and you will never get away this!"
"Ha we've been getting away with it for over 20 years, we've been building our "ship" in the Unknown regions to stop anyone from seeing it, right under your noses" laughed Krennic. "Or should I say above your noses!"
Yulrax charged at them, only for Krennic to shoot him, killing him instantly.
Several Chiss agents rushed in.
"A Chiss ship has been stolen and headed out!" the guards warned, trying to make sure they had no part in it.
"The situation will be taken care of" Thrawn assured them, looking at Yulrax's body. "Oh and please clean this mess up".
On the Chiss ship, the crew studied the map carefully.
"We are entering Zakuul now" said admiral Ar'alani.
"Okay well let's just park were they wont see us" said Hera.
"No need to fear, the planet is Chiss friendly, just don't mention your Jedi" said the female Chiss.
"This could all be a trap by the Empire" suggested Kanan.
"So why are the bucket heads following the same path?" questioned Zeb.
Meanwhile on Mandalore, Sabine and the others gathered in the throne room.
"The dust on the sabre is a special kind that existed during the war, when Revan first encountered the Sith emperor, he returned to put this on the Darksabre, so only he could use it. However, the Jedi put it in the Jedi temple instead" explained Fenn Rau. "There was a technicality, it seemed all Sith and their descendants are effected as well. It makes you see Revan trying to make you destroy the sword, his last trick has come back".
"But how come it didn't effect Maul?" asked Sabine.
"Because Maul is not a descendant of the original Sith" said Fenn.
"But we aren't" said Sabine.
The others looked at each other.
"Sabine there was another reason we rejected you when you came back" revealed her mother. "You see the Sith known as Nihilus once was part of the Revanchist's but he fell in love with and married a member of Clan Wren during the war, before he was wounded, and he is one of our distant ancestors. When you joined the empire, I feared you were becoming like Nihilus and now that you have the Darksabre it scared me even more".
Sabine didn't know what to say after hearing this. She did sometimes let her anger get the better off her, like when she fought Kanan and Saxon.
"But how do I stop the ghost?" she asked.
"You must defeat Revan in combat when he comes for you" explained Rau.
