Hey everybody welcome back for this weeks new chapter of The Assassin: The Journey Of Aaron Carter. I hope you are all enjoying the story, I am having a great time sharing this new story with you guys. Before we start I have to mention that Star Wars is owned by Disney. Okay enough with that let's start the story.

Chapter 7: The Initiation

Training Room: Two Months Later

Two months have passed by and the now only five recruits remain. Aaron, Grace, and Derric stand with two other recruits in the middle of the training room. Desric walks into the room alone before the Grand Master walks in and sits on top of his thrown.

As Desric walks by the remaining recruits he remembers how many there were before the training started and sees the remaining survivors. "There twelve of you that came into this castle. And now only five of you remain." Desric said. "You have survived the training that no other being could go through, you have received more wounds than any of the cowards who left this castle, but now you have one last test."

"You say you want to join this order! Prove it!" Desric said. "Prove us all that you belong with us! Prove the Grand Master that you are an assassin!" Soon after, two assassins walked into the room and handed Desric five holopads.

Desric walks by the recruits and hands each and every one of them a holopad. "These holopads contain a location for you to head to and a target for you to take out. These targets are crucial to the Republic and if done right, the Republic will suffer a heavy blow." Desric said. "We normally send groups of two to a planet but since there are only five of you, you will have to have a group of three."

Desric then walks in front of Aaron. "Do you think you can handle that?" He asked him. Aaron gives a slight nod while he looks to his right and sees Derric and Grace standing next to him.

"You have twenty four hours to study your targets and prepare for you departure. You will be dropped off at your location and will pursue your target while we monitor you." Desric continued. "Do not return if you cannot complete your mission." And with that Desric and the Grand Master soon left the room.

Aaron's Room

After the recruits were given their targets, Aaron, Grace, and Derric studied their targets in Aaron's rooms. They activated their holopads before a hologram of the planet Bespin appeared in front of them. "Bespin?" Derric asked.

"At least we know where we're heading. Our targets are said to be on Cloud City." Aaron said before the hologram of the planet of Bespin soon changed into a hologram of Cloud City.

Grace then points out another thing. "With buildings all over the place, it should be easy enough for us to take a shot from a tall building and disappear before anybody finds us."

The three friends then pull up images of their assigned targets. A hologram of an old man with long white hair, wearing dark blue robes, appears above Derric's holopad. A young white boy with blonde hair and blue eyes shows up on Grace's holopad. And finally a white man with medium blonde hair is shown above Aaron's holopad.

"These are our targets?" Derric asked. "They don't look much."

"Don't get too cocky." Aaron said to Derric. "All we got to do is take out our targets and leave the city."

"Well my holopad says that my target is scheduled to meet some of the political figures of the city tomorrow before evening." Derric pointed out.

"Mine says my target loves to spend his nights out in the clubs and is obsessed with prostitutes." Grace said."Well at least I know where to find him."

Aaron smiles and asks, "You think you can get him?"

Grace smiles and replies. "I'll persuade him to come to me."

"All right then it looks like we know our targets." Aaron said. "My holopad says that my target is suppose to be at his house alone."

"How come you get the easy one?" Derric asked while he laughed.

Before Aaron could reply to Derric's question an assassin with a large crate walks into Aaron's room. "Desric sent me over to hand you your weapons." The assassin said before the crate opened and revealed only two handles with a string of wire in between, a three-inch knife, and a sniper that can easily be assembled.

"Is this it?" Aaron asks.

The assassin nods before saying, "Desric believes that the three of you should be smart enough to decide which person gets which weapon."

After the assassin left, the three friends take a look at the weapons that could be used to take out their targets. Derric speaks out, "I'll take the sniper. I think if I get too close to my target, I may get attacked by several guards."

Both Aaron and Grace nod and look at the piece of wire and the knife. Aaron grabs the knife and looks at it for a while before handing it over to Grace. "Here take this." He said to her.

"What? Why?" She asked.

"It'll serve you better than me." Aaron said. "I'll take the wire."

"Alright then." She said to Aaron. "Thanks."

Aaron nods at Grace and the two slowly move their heads towards each other. But before anything could happen Derric speaks up. "Well I suggest that we get some rest tonight. We're going to need it tomorrow."

"Yeah… we will." Aaron said before Derric and grace left Aarons room. After his friends left, Aaron removes his robes and lies down on his bed, As he looks up at the stone ceiling, he begins to wonder if he will be able to do what he has to do tomorrow. He'll soon find out when the time comes.

Okay everyone that's it for this chapter folks. I know it's a little short but it's setting us up for what's about to happen in the next chapter. So will Aaron and his friends be able to do what they have to do on Cloud City? Will they be accepted by the Order? Find out next week.
