Chapter 10: Ignited
Learning to control your anger and be free from it is the key to fearlessness.
Victory on Quarzite! Reuniting with an old friend and Jedi Knight, JYL SOMTAY, AHSOKA TANO and the YOUNG JUSTICE work together with her to bring down the oppression of an evil dictator, OTUA BLANK, with help from the Kage Clan. Wanting to seek out the thrill of adventure with the YOUNG JUSTICE, JYL SOMTAY decides to travel with AHSOKA and her new friends, becoming the next member. Coming out of Hyperspace, the YOUNG JUSTICE now make contact with ANAKIN SKYWALKER on the RESOLUTE over the Planet of FELUCIA, where they now will await their next mission.
Felucia System…
Jyl Somtay looked around the Martian Bioship with much wonder. "Wow!" she exclaimed. "You know, I still can't believe that this is an actual living ship!" Jyl stated. "It's history in the making!"
Miss Martian chuckled. "I can see why everyone is so amused now," she said out loud. "Most of the Republic or Separatist Ships are expendable and can be mostly destroyed very easily, but this ship is one of a kind." The female Martian stated as she was working on a quiz.
Ahsoka looked over to what M'gann was doing and chuckled. "Personality quiz again, huh?" she asked.
M'gann nodded in agreement and smiled to Ahsoka, to which she smiled back. "Trying to dig deeper into myself," Megan explained. "The results are always interesting."
Ahsoka nodded in agreement, having taken a quiz herself. The two laughed before the Hangar Bay Door to the Resolute opened up. The Martian Bioship entered the Republic Cruiser, M'gann piloting the ship as calmly as she could, starting to land with the other ships as everyone saw that Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Martian Manhunter, Black Canary, Icon, Aquaman and Wonder Woman were all waiting for them inside.
The Bioship door opened up, with Ahsoka coming out first before the entire Young Justice emerged, as well as their newest members, Asajj Ventress and the recent recruit, Jyl Somtay.
"Good to see you all again," Anakin said as Ahsoka walked over. "You all did a good job on Quarzite."
Ahsoka smiled. "Thank you, Master." She said respectfully.
Aqualad then walked over to the Justice Leaguers who had come along with them. "Our work on Quarzite cannot be denied." The Atlantean stated. "And to add to that, we are now starting to expand on our Young Justice."
Asajj and Jyl then stepped up to the five members of the Justice League, Jyl sending them a friendly smile. "It is an honor to meet you all." Jyl said. "The Young Justice has told me much about the Justice League."
"The honor is ours," Aquaman then said. "The Young Justice is always shaping up, and with new members like you and Asajj Ventress, then there would be no stopping you."
Black Canary stepped up to Asajj and Jyl, extending her hand to them. "I am Black Canary, trainer for the Young Justice." She introduced herself.
Jyl smiled and shook Canary's hand. "Jyl Somtay, Jedi Knight." Jyl then said. "At your service."
Black Canary smiled and then looked to Ventress. "I have been told many things about you, Asajj," Dinah stated. "How do you fare in combat?"
"I fight well in both armed and unarmed combat, Black Canary," Ventress replied, extending her hand as well. Black Canary shook it before Asajj shrugged. "What about you?"
"Always the best." Black Canary bragged a bit.
Obi-Wan then stepped up. "I'm afraid that training the new Young Justice recruits will have to wait." The Negotiator stated. "We have a problem down on Felucia."
Ahsoka looked to Obi-Wan, as well as the rest of the Young Justice, with concern. "What kind of problem are we talking about here?" Robin then asked.
Obi-Wan pulled up the terminal, showing a hologram of what appeared to be a war happening in Felucia. "Ahsoka, are you familiar with the two Younglings you rescued, O-Mer and Jinx?" he asked.
"But I thought that Jinx was back on Earth-16." Zatanna asked with confusion.
Ahsoka shook her head. "No, this is a different Jinx," the Togruta Jedi explained. "You see, back when I was still here, before coming to Earth-16, I was captured by Trandoshan Hunters for a Hunting Game, and I met three Younglings who had been captured and were in hiding, Kalifa, O-Mer and Jinx," Ahsoka started to tell everyone. "Kalifa died protecting me, and with the help of Chewbacca, who was also captured at the time, we managed to strike back at the Trandoshans and escape, bringing O-Mer and Jinx back with us to the Jedi Temple, as a promise that I made to Kalifa to keep them safe."
"And we have promoted them to Padawan Rank," Obi-Wan explained, getting everyone to turn to him. "We lost contact with Master Storm and Master Shraw on Felucia, and a surviving Clone Trooper reported that he saw General Grievous down there."
"Separatist attack?" Jyl asked in a concerned voice.
"Finally! Something other than the ORDER!" Wally exclaimed.
"Not really." Anakin then said.
"Shoot." Kid Flash complained.
"We received reports of that Xion girl you mentioned who attacked you on Hypori," Wonder Woman stated. "She, as well as Barriss, are on the surface, leading an ORDER Army against both Republic and Separatist Forces."
The Young Justice all stood aghast when they heard this news. "The ORDER's been attacking both sides?" Artemis asked in disbelief. "What is the Senate doing about this?!"
"Senators from both sides are currently deciding on what to do about the ORDER," Icon then said. "However, the Chancellor doesn't want to be involved with them, since they haven't taken any Planets like the Separatists or like the Republic has before."
Ahsoka sighed as she looked down. She knew that the Senate was hard to argue with, and with the ORDER not having built up some kind of empire or system of government, no intervention was allowed. "The ORDER will act eventually." The young Togruta stated. "Both sides will eventually have to come to a truce so that they can take them down."
"That is up for the Senate to decide," Anakin then said. "You remember that suicide attack that the Separatists made during the attempt for peace negotiations, don't you?"
Ahsoka sighed and nodded, remembering the Droids that came into Coruscant to successfully create a blackout all over the city.
"Now, if what you told us about Xion possessing an ability to siphon the Force from anyone, then I'll need to come with you," Obi-Wan then said. "The Jedi Council will want a witness on the battlefield about this ability."
Ahsoka nodded. "We'll rescue O-Mer and Jinx, and be sure to take down Xion if necessary," Ahsoka said. Jyl and Ventress then joined up with the Young Justice, everyone nodding in agreement at what they now had to do. "We stand ready, Masters," Ahsoka then said after a moment of silence. "Just say the word, and we'll be off."
Obi-Wan nodded as he started to head towards his Jedi Starfighter. "Let's get this done." He told everyone.
The Young Justice all nodded as Ahsoka and Serra started to make their way towards their Jedi Starfighters while Jyl Somtay and Asajj Ventress joined the rest of the Young Justice in the Martian Bioship. When the Hangar Bay Doors all opened up, they all headed down to the Surface Below on the Planet of Felucia.
On the surface below, Clone Commander Boil led his Troops against the ORDER Forces, being led by Prowler. Another Clone Trooper, Wooley, ran up next to Boil, starting to sound concerned. "The ORDER's pushing us back, and we're losing men, fast!" he reported.
"What about the Separatists?" Boil then asked. "How are they holding up?"
"I can't believe that we have to help those Clankers!" Barlex then said, running up and throwing a charge towards the ORDER Troops while Prowler got out of the way. "It's disgusting to see these Clones of the Young Justice!" Barlex stated as he started to shoot at Prowler.
"Until the Jedi send down reinforcements, then we're pinned down!" Boil yelled out before Droidekas came into the area, starting to shoot at the ORDER Troops.
In the air above, the Martian Bioship started to fly, causing everyone to look up. The Clone Troopers cheered before Ahsoka and Serra's Jedi Starfighters arrived.
"Initiating Jedi Cycle Sequence." Serra said.
"Preparing to drop." Ahsoka then said.
The Jedi Starfighters soon started to separate, the Astromech Droids piloting the remainders of the Starfighters as the cockpits started to form into covered motorcycles, landing right on top of more ORDER Troopers and then letting out rockets and missiles.
In the air, Obi-Wan started to eject his cockpit from his Jedi Starfighter as well, letting his cockpit drop and form into a covered motorcycle, firing missiles along with Ahsoka and Serra.
"Boil?" M'gann then said to Boil over the comlink system.
"M'gann?" Boil asked. "Is that you?"
"Yes, this is Miss Martian speaking," M'gann then said, switching to the Psychic Link. "Right now, we're all the reinforcements that you have." Miss Martian then reported. "Sorry if we disappointed you or anything."
"Not disappointed at all, Miss Martian!" Boil replied back. "If you can take on a whole ORDER army, then there's no doubt that you can't help us!" Boil exclaimed before taking out a grenade, pulling the pin on it and then tossing it at the ORDER Troops, causing many of them to die within the blast radius of the explosion. Falcon and Xanadu, both leading more of the ORDER Troopers, ran to the side and started to fire back at the combined might of the Republic and the Separatists.
Ahsoka then ejected out of her Jedi Cycle. She looked to the ORDER Forces before she activated both of her lightsabers and charged forwards, cutting down at least five ORDER Troopers before jumping in the air and rolling to the side, cutting down two more ORDER Troopers. Each Trooper of the ORDER soon fell to Ahsoka's lightsabers, the Togruta even using the Force to crush one of the Tanks nearby before throwing it into another group of ORDER Troopers to her left. More ORDER Troops then ran towards her.
"Uh-oh." Ahsoka said, looking all around her.
It was then she realized she was surrounded that she started to slash at ten more ORDER Troopers before she called out to the Force, now levitating in the air as she encircled her arms around her chest. When she was high enough in the air, she spun around, sending a Beam of Light in all directions, killing the ORDER Troopers immediately.
Serra then leapt out of her Jedi Cycle as well, Force-Slamming onto the ground and causing many of the ORDER Troops to get sent back. The Clone Troopers and the Battle Droids all shot at more of the ORDER Troopers as Serra unsheathed her double-bladed lightsaber, activating one end of the hilt first before the other side lit up.
The ORDER Swordsmen then charged at Serra, but she leapt over a fallen Clone Walker and while in midair, she kicked an ORDER Trooper in the face while stabbing another in the head. Following that attack, she rolled under two more Troopers, slicing at their legs before she cut off the leg of another Trooper. Her blade met an ORDER Swordsman's as she slid her emerald blade up the slice of Cortosis, beheading the Swordsman as she emerged.
Obi-Wan kicked open the cockpit of his Jedi Cycle as well, unsheathing his lightsaber and aiming it towards some of the ORDER Troopers in a Makashi Stance. He charged towards them as they charged him, clashing with an ORDER Trooper next to him before spinning and cutting down another Trooper in front of him. He twirled around again and killed the other ORDER Trooper, moving onto the rest. He sent a high kick towards an ORDER Sniper before leaping into the air and twirling to kick another.
Obi-Wan then aimed the tip of his lightsaber at one ORDER Trooper, causing him to stop in place before the Negotiator aimed the tip at another Trooper. With both of the Troopers distracted, Kenobi kicked the Trooper in the chest before slashing at the Trooper adjacent to him. Obi-Wan took a step back and slashed at another ORDER Trooper before performing a sideways roundhouse kick at an incoming ORDER Swordsman and slashing him in the chest.
The Martian Bioship then landed, letting the rest of the Young Justice out to help. Jyl unsheathed her lightsaber and leapt in to help Ahsoka, slashing at an ORDER Trooper on her left before turning her attention to the Trooper on her right, felling him to the ground and then bringing her blade down onto him and stabbing another soldier behind her.
Ventress activated both of her lightsabers as well and held them in a Reverse Shien Position, spinning around and slashing at the ORDER Troops surrounding her before placing her lightsabers back in a normal grip, cutting another ORDER Trooper into three pieces.
Connor immediately charged into Ultraboy, locking fists with him before backflipping into the air and landing a dropkick on him, placing him in a leg-lock position and trapping him in it soon afterwards.
Robin then ran towards Falcon, sliding at his evil twin to kick him into the air. Falcon just went to the side and prepared to throw falcorangs at the Boy Wonder until Dick swept his feet under Falcon's, sending him to the ground.
Aqualad took out his twin Water-Bearers and then placed them together, forming a variation of a double-bladed lightsaber. Blood Bane charged at him and slashed with his Blood-Bearers, clashing with the two blades. Aqualad sent out a torrent of water before twirling Blood Bane around, the two now back-to-back with each other.
"I have you now!" Blood Bane then exclaimed.
"Do you?" Aqualad then spat.
At that moment, the Clones and the Droids all shot at Blood Bane, causing him to dissolve into mist and fly away, where his body would soon be regenerated.
Artemis placed her bow behind her neck, getting into a fighting stance while Prowler knocked aside a Battle Droid, slashing her own bow downwards. The two then charged at each other, Artemis leaping into the air and clashing with Prowler's incoming attack, both landing behind one another. Prowler sent an overhead swing, Artemis blocking the attack, right before they clashed bows with each other. The two broke off before running alongside the forest of Felucia, strafing one another down.
Rebel then leapt in from behind Artemis, taking out a pistol and then shooting Prowler just as she was about to shoot an arrow. The evil archer dissipated into violet mist before fading away to regenerate.
Artemis looked to Lux and chuckled. "Thanks for the assist, Senate Boy." She teased.
"You have been talking with Saw way too much." Lux said, rolling his eyes. Nonetheless, the two shook hands.
Ahsoka and M'gann both then stood back-to-back, their lightsabers activated as they helped to cover each other from blaster fire. "We need to hurry if we're going to get to your friends!" M'gann called out to Ahsoka as she tossed her lightsaber into the head of an ORDER Sniper.
Ahsoka panted and shot some energized arrows from her Arm-Mounted Crossbow Gauntlet. "I know!" she yelled back. "But these Troopers just don't end! It's as if they're hiding something else!"
Obi-Wan then ran in as a Republic Gunship carrying Commander Cody in it fired down at some more of the ORDER Troopers. Cody got out as Obi-Wan started to deflect more of the blaster bolts heading towards the two alien friends. "We'll take care of these guys!" Obi-Wan called out to them. "Focus on the mission!"
"The mission always comes first!" Cody then yelled out as he and Boil began to fire alongside some Battle Droids. "General Kenobi, go with them! We've got it all covered from here!"
Ahsoka and M'gann both nodded as the Young Justice started to regroup. "Thank you, Master, Cody," Ahsoka yelled out before she looked to the rest of the Young Justice. "Let's go!" she then ordered as Obi-Wan backed towards them, continuing to deflect the blaster bolts coming from the ORDER Army.
The entire Young Justice nodded before running off, now intent on finding O-Mer and Jinx and save them from Xion.
Several Clone Troopers started to fire towards Xion and Barriss, but they just easily deflected the attacks with their lightsabers. Xion tossed her lightsaber into the head of one Clone Trooper before another took a shot at her. However, as the Clones then started to focus their fire on Xion, the blue bolts stopped. Xion stood where she was before her right eye, a harsh shade of yellow, flashed, causing the blaster bolts to return to the Clone Troopers, killing them.
O-Mer and Jinx then came out from some caves covered with ectoplasm and activated their lightsabers, O-Mer with a yellow blade and Jinx with a purple blade.
"Traitor!" O-Mer yelled out, charging straight at Barriss.
Barriss placed both of her blades up and blocked the attack before Jinx snapped his fingers, summoning a small army of Felucian Warriors.
Xion saw this coming and soon twirled around, spreading Sith Fire all around her and killing the Felucians immediately.
Jinx placed his lightsaber near his head and stood ready in an Ataru Opening Stance. "We've heard of what you can do, Xion!" Jinx then yelled out. "Our Masters are safe, and you're never taking away the Force from the Jedi!"
Xion chuckled and placed her Xiphon up to her mouth. She took out several lightsaber crystals of different colors before placing them onto the holes of her Xiphon hilt. O-Mer and Jinx watched with confusion before Xion started to play a tune. Dark mist soon emerged in front of them as dead Jedi Masters Even Piell, Master Ima-Gun-Di and Pong Krell appeared, their eyes pitch black and wielding black-bladed lightsabers in their hands in place of their usual blue or green blades.
O-Mer and Jinx both looked to each other, trying to decide on what to do. "Should we fight them?" Jinx asked.
"They may be our Masters, but they have passed away and are now one with the Force," O-Mer then said. "We must honor them, no matter what!"
At that moment, Xion walked in between her desecrated Jedi Army. "Now, tell me where your Masters are, or I shall sever your connection with the Force forever." Xion demanded, aiming her Xiphon at them, its black blade activating with a low whir as the Jedi Army of the Dead held their lightsabers in opening stances, ready to back up their new Master, Barriss walking up beside Xion soon afterwards.
O-Mer pointed his lightsaber back and scoffed. "Is there anyone who would obey that command?" he spat. With that, he charged at Xion, his lightsaber lifted into the air for a Shii-Cho strike.
Xion stood where she was as Barriss prepared to intercept. Xion, however, motioned for Barriss to stop, and once O-Mer's blade landed, Xion grabbed it with her left bare hand. She threw the lightsaber over O-Mer's head and without a struggle or a move from her body, her left eye, a deep blue color, flashed, causing O-Mer to fall to the ground. Xion then chuckled as she lifted up her lightsaber held in her left arm, aiming the tip of the blade directly at O-Mer.
At that moment, an Energized Arrow was shot towards the area. It first circled around a nearby mushroom, then in front of O-Mer's face, and then towards Xion. Xion blocked the attack with her lightsaber using little to no effort before Ahsoka ran into the area, followed by the Young Justice and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
"Let them go, Xion!" Ahsoka called out as she, Artemis, Rebel and Gerrera all aimed their firearms at the two female Sith Apprentices.
Xion rotated to the side, not moving an inch from her spot as Barriss activated her twin lightsabers and stood ready in a Niman stance. "Ahsoka," Xion stated. She let out a chuckle as she placed her lightsaber on her shoulder. "To be honest, I didn't expect to be seeing you and your Young Justice so soon."
Xion then smirked as she soon saw Obi-Wan with them, standing ready in an Ataru Opening Stance.
"You must be Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi," Xion remarked upon seeing the Negotiator. "I must say, it is an honor to be in the presence of a Jedi Master who defeated the infamous Darth Maul."
"Unfortunately, my dear, Maul is back," Obi-Wan then said, keeping his ready position. "However, I have heard about the unique ability you have to siphon the Force away from others." The Negotiator went on. "I personally do not believe this to be true, but if it is, then I can't let you leave here alive." General Kenobi then finished up, placing his lightsaber over his head and a hand out in front of him.
O-Mer and Jinx both watched everything happen with astonishment. Jinx then noticed that O-Mer's lightsaber had fallen near his feet. Using the Force, he soon picked it up. Ahsoka looked to Jinx and sent him a nod, in which he replied back by tossing the lightsaber into the air.
O-Mer looked up and then smirked, kicking away Xion, much to her surprise, and then catching his lightsaber, using it to slash at Xion. Nonetheless, Xion remained where she stood, blocking the blade before breaking off with him to face Obi-Wan. "Now, where were we?" Xion then asked the Negotiator.
Obi-Wan narrowed his eyes at Xion, the two now circling each other and waiting for one another to attack. Xion stood ready in a Makashi stance before Obi-Wan charged at Xion using Soresu. Xion just smirked and used Soresu back at Obi-Wan, the two clashing blades with each other before Xion reversed the grip on her Xiphon and twirled around to perform a Makashi jab at the Negotiator. Obi-Wan gasped and performed a Makashi Jab of his own to counter it, their blades colliding with each other once again. She's mimicking all of my techniques! Obi-Wan thought to himself. Got to try and switch tactics!
Xion just chuckled and Force-Pushed Obi-Wan away, much to his surprise. "Simply switching tactics against me won't help you win against me, Master Kenobi," Xion remarked, causing Obi-Wan to gasp with surprise. Xion chuckled and swung her Xiphon to the ground. "That's right, Obi-Wan, just like Miss Martian, I know what you're thinking, so I am able to anticipate your every move, no matter what you try to do."
Obi-Wan gritted his teeth. He had not expected Xion to be able to pull off such a feat like this. "You really are more than meets the eye." He stated with much aggression.
Xion only smirked and placed her lightsaber back at her side. "Prepare for your Age of Extinction." She quipped.
As this was going on, Jyl worked with Ventress to take on the desecrated Jedi Masters, Even Piell, Pong Krell and Ima-Gun-Di. Ventress clashed blades with Krell while at the same time, Jyl struggled to fend off against Masters Piell and Master Ima-Gun-Di.
Lux looked over towards the two new Young Justice members battling the desecrated Jedi Masters and soon took out the Darksaber. "Jyl, catch!" Lux called out, tossing the Darksaber over towards Jyl.
Jyl looked to Lux as the Darksaber was thrown to her. She kicked aside Ima-Gun-Di and grabbed the Darksaber in her left hand, activating it. "Thanks!" She called out to Lux. Jyl then used both of her blades to clash with Master Ima-Gun-Di and Even Piell, now able to fend off against both of the dead Jedi Masters. She broke off with Ima-Gun-Di and spun her blades low at the ground, causing Master Piell to disappear before clashing with Ima-Gun-Di once again, blocking a Vaapad slash to both sides of her body. She blocked an Ataru slash towards her neck and broke off, head-butting Ima-Gun-Di away and then stabbing him in the chest, causing him to disappear as well.
Ventress stood ready as Pong Krell charged towards her. She blocked an overhead Vaapad attack with one of her lightsabers before parrying a lower strike with the other. She locked her blades with all four blades before spinning around and placing her right lightsaber in a Reverse-Grip, stabbing Krell in the chest. He groaned weakly before dropping to the ground and fading away. All that was left of the three deceased Jedi Masters now were the lightsaber crystals Xion used to summon them, which M'gann, Jyl and Ventress all soon picked up.
Meanwhile, Ahsoka continued to lead the Young Justice against Barriss. Ahsoka unsheathed the double-bladed lightsaber of Exar Kun and performed a downwards Shii-Cho slash at the Mirialan Sith Lord, which was blocked by Black Widow's twin blades. This then gave Artemis enough time to take a shot at Black Widow's chest, knocking her back.
Miss Martian then flew over towards where O-Mer and Jinx were with Ventress and Jyl at her side. "Hey there," M'gann said in a friendly tone. "You two alright?"
O-Mer and Jinx both nodded. "Yes, thank you." Jinx said.
"It's a good thing that you Young Justice were able to show up when you did." O-Mer added on.
"Do you know what the ORDER is up to?" Jyl then asked.
"Well, our Masters are protecting some of the Felucians in the cave, so they may know something." Jinx stated. "But we have to be careful."
"If the rumors we've heard about Xion's ability to siphon away the Force is true, then we can't let her get to our Masters and steal their Force Abilities." O-Mer added on.
Miss Martian nodded as she placed her hand to her head. "Ahsoka, Asajj, Jyl and I are going to go with O-Mer and Jinx to meet with their Masters." M'gann said through the Psychic Link. "We'll let you know what the ORDER's up to from there."
Ahsoka nodded after hearing this. "Understood," Ahsoka replied back through the Psychic Link. "We'll do our best to hold Xion and Black Widow here until you get back." Ahsoka then said, starting to encircle her arms.
Black Widow watched with confusion as Ahsoka then started to create a whirlwind around herself, many rocks lifting into the air and spinning around her. Wind started to blow, getting Barriss to place her hands in front of her skirt to prevent from getting lifted up as well.
The rest of the Young Justice watched as well before Ahsoka, who had gathered up enough Force Energy, released a Whirlwind of Light, knocking Barriss and the surrounding ORDER Troopers away.
As Barriss was sent to the ground, Serra ran over and slashed down at her, causing the Mirialan to backflip away to avoid the attack.
"Now!" Serra yelled out.
At that moment, Saw shot at Black Widow alongside Robin. Their combined attack sent Widow back before Superboy ran in and slammed his fist onto the ground, causing Barriss to get knocked off of his feet again and Rocket to throw her off with a Force Bubble.
Obi-Wan charged towards Xion with an Ataru downwards slash as the Daughter of Sylas struck back with a Vaapad overhead swing. Obi-Wan ducked from the attack and got up, slamming his lightsaber against Xion's Xiphon and locking blades with her. Xion then charged at Kenobi, twirling into the air and slashing at the Negotiator with swift Shii-Cho swings.
Obi-Wan blocked the attack as he backflipped away from the attacks, sending a Force-Push towards Xion. Xion kicked her leg into the air, causing Sith Fire to spread out. Obi-Wan placed his hand out in front of him and split the flames, sending a few punches at Xion and using Force Blasts.
Xion backflipped into the air and onto a nearby wall, running on it before swinging more Sith Fire towards Obi-Wan, who kicked aside the fire. Obi-Wan then leapt onto the wall, meeting Xion midway and attacking with Niman. Xion used the same technique, and the two locked blades with each other.
Inside of the cave, Jedi Master Storm, a female Tholothian, and Master Shraw, a male Weequay, were looking after some native Felucians and some injured Clone Troopers. The Felucians all rested their weapons as Shraw used the Force to heal them.
"We both know what's going to happen to us soon, Master Shraw." Jedi Master Storm stated, looking down to her lightsaber.
Master Shraw nodded as he held his arm. "This Xion girl is strong with the Dark Side of the Force," Shraw said while getting back up from healing a Felucian Warrior's wound. "But if we are to protect Felucia at all costs, then we must be prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice."
Master Ajnin Storm nodded back and got up. She sent a small smile to her fellow Jedi and let out a sigh.
All of a sudden, some noise was heard coming from the hallways. Ajnin activated her silver lightsaber as Shraw activated his golden lightsaber. "Master Storm, this may indeed be our final chance to make peace with the Force before death." Shraw said while getting into a Soresu Opening stance.
Ajnin nodded and prepared herself in a Niman stance, ready to take on Xion if she found them as the recovered Clone Troopers started to take aim.
At that moment, O-Mer and Jinx ran in, followed by Miss Martian, Asajj Ventress and Jyl Somtay. The Clone Troopers lowered their blasters as Storm and Shraw deactivated their lightsabers and sheathed them back on their belts. "Padawans, you're all safe." Shraw said as he looked to the Apprentices.
Storm then looked to the three female members of the Young Justice and smiled. "And by the Force, you've brought the Young Justice with you." The Tholothian said with rejoice.
M'gann nodded as she extended her hand. "Miss Martian, at your service," the young Martian explained. She gestured her hands towards Asajj Ventress and then to Jyl Somtay. "Surely, you're familiar with Jedi Knight Jyl Somtay and Asajj Ventress."
Master Shraw nodded at this. "Yes, we are." He said. "We're thankful that you're here." He added on. "Are the rest of the Young Justice here too?"
"Ahsoka and the others are all holding off Black Widow and Xion outside for as long as they can." Ventress explained. "If this Xion girl really is capable of siphoning away the Force from others, then we'll make sure that you stay safe."
"It's Felucia right now that needs to be kept safe from harm," Ajnin started to say. She gestured her hands towards the Native Felucians behind them to explain after noticing everyone's confused faces. "They seem to be concerned for something, but due to their ancient language, we can't understand what they're saying."
"Leave that problem to me." M'gann then said as she stepped towards the Felucian Warriors with a hand placed to her head.
Miss Martian and the Felucian Warriors looked to one another as M'gann started to set up a Psychic Link. "I've established this Psychic Link so that we can understand each other," Miss Martian started to explain as Somtay, Ventress, O-Mer, Jinx, Storm and Shraw all heard M'gann's voice in their heads.
"Amazing!" One of the Felucians exclaimed with surprise. "I never thought that such a way of communication would be possible!"
"I know," Miss Martian replied back telepathically. "Now, right now, do you think you can tell us what the problem is?"
The leader of the Felucian Warriors then got up and nodded. "This... ORDER, they're plotting to wipe out the life on this Planet with a bomb," the Felucian started to explain. "They called it the Dynamic Nuclear Generator System."
Miss Martian's eyes, as well as everyone else's eyes all became wide with surprise. "T-thank you." M'gann stuttered, getting back up on her feet. She then turned back to everyone else. "We've got to find out where the ORDER planted that bomb, and fast!" Miss Martian exclaimed to the Jedi.
Jinx nodded and placed a hand to his head. "Ahsoka, do you copy?" The Twi'lek Padawan said through the Psychic Link. "Come in!"
Outside, Ahsoka used her twin double-bladed lightsabers to attack at Black Widow with Serra by her side. "Keep pushing!" Serra yelled to the Young Justice.
Ahsoka then felt the Psychic Link activate in her psyche. Kicking away Barriss, Ahsoka started to answer the call. "I'm here, Jinx," Ahsoka replied as she and Serra then performed twin Niman slashes at Black Widow. "What's wrong?"
"It seems that the ORDER has planted a Nuclear Bomb within the surface of the Planet." Jinx started to explain. "We have to find it and get it out of here, stat!"
Ahsoka nodded. "Understood, thanks." The Togruta Padawan replied back. Ahsoka then looked to Black Widow, Force-Pushing her away before turning her attention to the rest of the Young Justice and Obi-Wan. "We've got a bomb situation here!" She called out through the Psychic Link.
Everyone all gasped once they heard the news. "Spread out and find it!" Ahsoka then ordered. "Forget about Barriss for now, just find that bomb!"
"Right!" everyone then replied back through the Psychic Link.
Barriss looked to the Young Justice members with confusion before Serra charged at her. Black Widow formed her double-bladed lightsaber and started to parry off any of the attacks that the Shan made. Barriss struck with a downwards Vaapad slash, but Serra went to the side and dodged the attack, causing Black Widow to strike with a Makashi jab. Serra avoided this attack as well before twirling into the air and kicking Widow away.
Ahsoka and Serra then slid their lightsabers along the ground, starting to slash at Barriss. Ahsoka slashed at Barriss with an overhead Ataru swing, which Barriss countered by mimicking the attack, but didn't see Serra then come in and slash at her. Barriss used her left blade to block the attack as Ahsoka and Serra started to double-team her.
Barriss was about to attack again until Artemis, Rebel and Saw leapt into the air, shooting down at the fallen Mirialan. The five then charged at Barriss once again, the General of the ORDER countering Shii-Cho slashes made by Ahsoka and Serra, but failing to avoid blasts from the three snipers.
Barriss growled and sent forth an explosive web. However, a Wall of Water blocked the attack as Aqualad, Robin, Kid Flash, Superboy, Zatanna and Rocket all appeared.
Everyone then started to charge at Barriss, attempting to fend off their attacks. She was continuously shot by Artemis, Rebel and Gerrera, but that didn't stop her. She twirled around and slashed in all directions, knocking everyone off-balance before flying into the air. "Try and catch me!" she exclaimed, starting to fly down at them.
The Young Justice all looked around as Barriss flew around them. She flew down at Serra, but the Shan blocked her attack, giving Aqualad enough time to slash at her in the chest. Barriss then vanished as she covered her body with her wings, getting everyone back on guard. The Mirialan reappeared in front of Ahsoka, but both she and Artemis shot at her, causing Black Widow to fall to the ground.
Ahsoka then flew into the air, the Power of Light embodying her. She shot a Ray of Light towards Barriss, who blocked it with her wings, but didn't see a Water Whip come from Aqualad. Barriss stumbled back before Zatanna flew down at Widow, followed by Connor drilling out of the ground and punching Barriss in the jaw.
Ahsoka then formed her double-bladed lightsaber in her left hand while arming herself with Exar Kun's lightsaber in her right.
At that moment, Aqualad and Serra both got alongside each other, readying their own weapons. Behind them, Connor pounded his fist into his palm as Wally started to twirl around his arm. Zatanna and Rocket both prepared to send blasts towards Barriss while Artemis, Rebel and Gerrera all aimed their firearms at Barriss.
Ahsoka performed her twin variation of SokaTan and slashed it towards Barriss, followed by Artemis, Rebel and Gerrera shooting as Rocket and Zatanna blasted, immediately followed by Superboy slamming a rock at Black Widow while Wally sent a tornado, finally ending with Aqualad and Serra slashing down. All of their attacks were combined together as Barriss was soon sent back into the air, screaming in pain from all the damage she had taken.
"Now, scour the area, and find out where that bomb is!" Ahsoka ordered.
"Already on it," Superboy said, using his X-Ray vision to search the ground. He could pick up a lot of thermal activity below the surface of Felucia, but so far, nothing matched the signature of a Nuclear Bomb. Just then, he found something. "Follow me." He said to the rest of the Young Justice, starting to make his way towards an area that appeared to be an abyss.
Obi-Wan then turned back to Xion to resume their battle, now starting to angrily narrow his eyes at Xion, who was just smirking devilishly as if everything were no big deal to her. Obi-Wan charged at her and immediately slammed his blade onto hers, driving the young Sith Apprentice back before the two performed Shii-Cho slashes at each other. They began to clash high and low, blue and black blades colliding with each other repeatedly.
"You know what I'm thinking, Xion!" Obi-Wan yelled out as he pressed against her on a wall. "Tell me where the bomb is, or be destroyed!"
Xion just smirked and circled around Obi-Wan, now being the one forcing Obi-Wan into the cave. "You want to kill me, then do it." She taunted. "I'm not holding you back, nor is…" Xion then paused, seeing M'gann, Jyl, Ventress, O-Mer, Jinx, Shraw and Storm behind them.
Xion chuckled upon this sight and grabbed Obi-Wan by the collar, throwing him aside and then Force-Pushing away the others, leaving only Storm and Shraw standing right in front of her. "Looks like a full house." She quipped, deactivating her Xiphon and slowly placing it up to her mouth. "But luckily, I always keep an ace… up my sleeve." She finished up.
M'gann gasped at this and spread out her hands, getting herself, Asajj, Jyl, O-Mer and Jinx towards Obi-Wan.
Storm and Shraw both had their lightsabers activated, but upon seeing Xion about to siphon the Force away from them, they deactivated their lightsabers and closed their eyes. Xion chuckled as she started to play her tune.
"No!" Obi-Wan called out, getting up and running towards Xion to try and stop her.
A protective Force Field then emanated around Xion, causing Obi-Wan to be pushed back by a yellow blast of Dark Force Energy. Ahsoka caught Obi-Wan and with much horror, everyone was forced to watch as Storm and Shraw had their Force siphoned out of them. It seemed as if their souls were screaming and their skeletons were being torn out as Blue Waves of Energy flew into the Xiphon, converting into gold and silver crystals as soon as the Waves of Force Energy exited their bodies.
Miss Martian, Asajj Ventress, Jyl Somtay, Jinx, O-Mer and Obi-Wan all stood in shock after seeing Xion siphon away the Force. Storm and Shraw both fell to the ground, both feeling weak.
Xion turned around and grinned, showing off her two new crystals imbued with Force Energy. "Very collectible, wouldn't you all agree?" She said sadistically.
Obi-Wan panted at this while gripping his lightsaber. M'gann just got out her lightsabers and charged at Xion, clashing blades with her immediately. Xion's yellow eye then flashed, causing Miss Martian to be lifted off of the ground and towards where the two powerless Jedi Masters were.
"You're very amusing, M'gann." Xion teased in a sadistic voice. "But since you're not a Jedi, you are of no use to me." With that, Xion walked out of the cave, leaving everyone else fuming at her with anger.
O-Mer and Jinx then ran over to their Masters, starting to help them get back up on their feet. "Masters! Are you alright?" O-Mer immediately asked.
Shraw got up and rubbed the back of his neck before looking to O-Mer and Jinx. "Yes, we are." Shraw replied.
"But we have lost our connection to the Force." Ajnin added on.
Obi-Wan stepped up and sighed. "It is now clear that Xion truly can siphon the Force away from others," the Negotiator stated. "This act has ignited the great threat that the ORDER poses to the Jedi."
Shraw nodded in agreement before he looked to Storm. "Right now, we need to find out where that Nuclear Bomb is and try to get it out of Felucia." Shraw reminded everyone. He then looked to Obi-Wan and handed him his lightsaber. "You'll need this."
Obi-Wan grabbed Master Shraw's lightsaber and nodded, running off after Xion. "She won't get away with this." Obi-Wan said as he came out of the cave.
Master Storm then handed her lightsaber over towards O-Mer. "Hold onto this." She ordered.
O-Mer nodded before the Jedi Masters were given Clone Trooper Blasters. "Time to join in on the fight." Storm stated.
O-Mer and Jinx, as well as Miss Martian, Asajj Ventress and Jyl Somtay, all nodded as they led the Clone Troopers outside to join in on the battle.
Back at the abyss, Connor led the Young Justice to the edge of a Sarlaac Pit, revealing a large crate. "That must be the DNGS that your friends were trying to warn us about." Connor said.
M'gann, Jyl and Asajj then joined up with them, seeing the bomb. O-Mer, Jinx, Shraw and Storm were behind them, as well as a small army of Clone Troopers.
"Time to get this out of here." Ahsoka then said, extending her hand towards the Dynamic Nuclear Generation System Bomb. Serra held out her hand as well to help, followed by the assist of Jyl, Ventress, Zatanna and M'gann. With their combined powers, they lifted the DNGS out of the pit.
Serra then pressed a button on her comlink located on her gauntlet. "Boil, we need a Turbo Tank here yesterday." She ordered. "There's a bomb that we need to get off of Felucia immediately."
"On it, Serra," Boil replied. "We're sending a Turbo Tank right now."
Behind the Young Justice and the small army of Jedi and Clones, Barriss took notice. She narrowed her eyes at them before reaching for her lightsabers. Before she could rush in to attack, the Clone Turbo Tank rolled into the area, followed by AT-AT Walkers, Droidekas, Separatist Tanks and several Clone Troopers on Speeders.
"Where's the bomb?" an ARC Clone Commander then asked.
Ahsoka craned her neck and everyone motioned towards the crate. "Carry this carefully." Ahsoka ordered the Clone Troopers and Battle Droids. "Don't drop it." He ordered the soldiers.
The ARC Trooper Commander then nodded and with the combined forces of the Clones, Droids and a couple of members of the Young Justice, they all started to get the large crate into the Turbo Tank.
Ahsoka and M'gann then climbed into the Turbo Tank as the Martian Bioship came, letting out Sphere. Connor chuckled and patted her. "Good thing I brought you along." He said before Sphere formed into the Supercycle.
Ahsoka and M'gann looked to each other before they rolled their eyes. Ahsoka just chuckled as she used the Psychic Link to contact the others. "Kaldur, we're all set to go." She reported to the Atlantean.
"Good. Artemis is in the Bioship for air cover. Superboy, Gerrera and Jyl are in the Supercycle, and the rest of the Young Justice, Republic Army and Separatists are guarding the convoy in speeders." The Atlantean stated.
Ahsoka nodded at this and started up the Turbo Tank for transport. As soon as the Turbo Tank started up, the Bioship went into Camo Mode and the rest of the Young Justice, as well as O-Mer, Jinx, Shraw, Storm and the Clone Troopers started their engines. "Roll out." Ahsoka then ordered the Young Justice sternly. With that, everyone soon set off.
As soon as they had left, Barriss started to fly into the air in her Dragon Form. She darted off after them as Xion watched from a nearby mountain cliff. She smirked and walked after them as well while a man on a speeder chased after them.
While Ahsoka and the large army were traveling, the sound of wings flapping and roaring soon caught everyone's attention. Ahsoka and Miss Martian both looked out the side of the windows, turning around to then see a black-and-gold dragon fly after them in the air. "Oh, crap." Ahsoka and M'gann both swore at the same time.
Just then, Superboy's voice came through a comlink. "Watch your backs!" he yelled. Ahsoka and M'gann then looked out their windows again and gasped.
At that moment, three speeders with the emblem of the ORDER on them emerged from behind the convoy and surrounded the Supercycle. "I'm starting to feel the need to take these guys out with my fists here, guys." Connor mused teasingly to Ahsoka.
Ahsoka narrowed her eyes at the ORDER Speeders and pressed her comlink. "Wipe them out," She ordered the Young Justice. "Leave no ORDER Trooper alive."
All of a sudden, one of the Speeders circled around the Supercycle and furthered itself at the Turbo Tank. Miss Martian soon gasped. "It's a whole squad of the ORDER!" She exclaimed astonishingly.
Now, five speeders started to surround the Supercycle and half of the Young Justice and Clones. One of the speeders went in front to cut off the convoy. Robin and Zatanna skidded over to the side, in which the driver did the same. Ahsoka looked into a reflection and saw one of the speeders come up beside the Tank. The ORDER Trooper then got out of his seat, emerging with a rifle in his hands. "Pull over!" he ordered.
Ahsoka gasped at this. Putting one hand on the controls, the young Togruta Padawan sent a light Force-Push towards the gunner before driving faster. "Take them!" Ahsoka ordered everyone. "Make sure that we're safe to get the bomb off of the Planet!" she added on.
As another speeder came around the side, Kid Flash got off of his speeder and removed caught the Darksaber thrown to him by Lux. Before the gunner on the speeder could shoot at the Clone Turbo Tank and destroy it, Wally slashed at the engine, which caused the speeder to crash into a stone and flip over.
Ahsoka and M'gann both sighed as they then looked through the reflection of the glass. One of the speeders coming from the back of the Tank opened up its skylight. A man emerged with a gun in his hands. As soon as the speeder was in range of the Clone Turbo Tank, the gunner shot three bullets at the backdoor. As soon as the bullets made impact, the gunner activated a button on his gun. The three bullets started to sink into the door and spark up with electricity. After three seconds, the bullets detonated and the DNGS was wide open.
Kid Flash gasped when he saw one of the men coming out of the speeder to get the device. "Not so fast!" he yelled out. Before he could reach the men, the gunner started to open fire upon Wally, causing him to dash from side to side to avoid the bullets.
"Someone needs to secure the DNGS!" Superboy exclaimed.
Artemis started to press at some of the button in the Bioship. "Aren't there any weapons equipped on here?!" she exclaimed in frustration.
M'gann sighed and shook her head. "Sorry, Artemis, but the Bioship has no weapons." The Martian stated. "We only got that cannon in the simulation."
Just then, a blue-and-black blur flew by Barriss Offee and right to the convoy. Ahsoka chuckled as she continued to drive, only faster this time. "I thought you said that the Bioship has no weapons, Artemis." Ahsoka said to the archer.
"That wasn't me." Artemis then replied back.
Superboy's eyes widened when he saw who just flew by. "Thank, Rocket!" he exclaimed.
Raquel grinned at Connor and then to Aqualad before she leapt off of the edge of the Turbo Tank after giving a quick air kiss to Kaldur, who blushed at the moment, and at the ORDER Trooper on his speeder.
The driver gasped as Rocket blasted a large energy ball at the engine of the speeder, causing the driver and gunner to scream as they were thrown into the speeder behind them.
Superboy drove the Supercycle away from the now flipped car as it exploded on ground impact. Rocket smiled and winked at Kaldur before flying over towards the Jedi at the front of the Tank.
"I've got your back!" Rocket exclaimed to Ahsoka and Miss Martian.
Both of the aliens nodded before they drove off, unaware of Xion following them on top of the mountain above. She leapt onto Barriss, who then threw her towards the top of the Turbo Tank.
"Oh no you don't!" Raquel then exclaimed, taking out her sword.
Xion looked to the side and then blocked the attack. The two locked blades as Rocket circled around Xion, hoping to knock her off of the Tank. However, Xion's red eye flashed, causing Raquel to drop to the ground, Aqualad catching her and getting his girlfriend onto the back of the speeder as she flew into the air again.
Xion then chuckled as she activated her Xiphon, starting to cut a hole into the top of the Tank. "No one messes with the ORDER." She remarked.
Behind the Turbo Tank, the man on the speeder started to catch up with the Republic and the Separatists. Ahsoka looked out the window and smiled at the sight. "Hey, Xion!" Ahsoka called out.
"What?" Xion asked sadistically.
"You might want to stop what you're doing and focus on saving yourself rather than the bomb." M'gann then remarked, seeing who was on the speeder behind them.
The man on the speeder, wearing a Clone Trooper helmet, unsheathed a lance and stabbed an ORDER Trooper in the back. Xion and Black Widow both turned around and saw the man leading an army of ORDER Troopers, all wielding the same lances in their hands.
Xion growled at this sight before the Clone Troopers started to charge at the ORDER Troopers, stabbing them all. Xion sent down a blast of Sith Lightning towards the leader, causing him to get off of his speeder and onto the top of the Turbo Tank. Xion glared at the Clone Trooper before charging at him and slashing at his helmet.
As soon as the helmet came off, Xion turned around to see Obi-Wan. "I believe that we may have some unfinished business, my darling." Obi-Wan stated, unsheathing his lightsaber first and then Jedi Master Shraw's lightsaber.
Xion sighed and held her lightsaber ready. "Well, if that's the way you want it," she said sadistically. "Then I can take your Force Powers as well. I hear that you're especially strong with the Force, and was able to hold your own against two Sith Lords, after all." Xion then started to slowly advance towards Obi-Wan, narrowing her eyes at him. "Now, you'll see what I'm like when I'm not holding back, Kenobi."
Obi-Wan charged at Xion, immediately clashing with his right blade with Ataru before using Soresu with his left. The two then twirled around each other to attack again. Xion struck with a Makashi slash at Obi-Wan's neck, but Obi-Wan placed both of his lightsabers up in front of him for defense before breaking off, attacking with Ataru and Makashi combined together and dodging an overhead swing from Xion's Xiphon lightsaber. He sent a Makashi jab at Xion's right hand, but Xion, left-handed, threw him off and towards the edge of the Tank.
Obi-Wan backflipped in the air and landed back on his feet, blocking a low Niman slash before avoiding several Vaapad attacks. All of Xion's powers seemed to be stronger this time in contrast to when the Jedi Master fought her earlier. He soon found himself being pushed back as he used Soresu to block all of the Juyo attacks being sent at him.
Xion struck hard with Juyo and Soresu strikes, causing Obi-Wan to be knocked back every time. He soon regained himself as he blocked a high Vaapad downwards slash, locking their blades together. Xion growled and kicked Obi-Wan away before slashing onto his shoulder.
Obi-Wan groaned from the hit, but held Shraw's golden blade to defend himself. "You have desecrated the Ways of the Force and the Jedi themselves!" Obi-Wan exclaimed as he started to get up. "You shall be brought to justice, her and now, once and for all!" he then exclaimed, using a Niman strike at her chest.
Xion blocked the attack using Ataru and cackled at Obi-Wan. "You're very impressive, Master Kenobi," she complimented. "But I have a fear of executions, so I think that I'll pass on 'being brought to justice'." She then teased, breaking off with Obi-Wan and slashing at his abdomen. Obi-Wan twirled to the side and struck at her with his own lightsaber in Ataru Form, clashing with Xion's blade.
Soon, Ahsoka and the rest of the Young Justice, Republic, Separatists, O-Mer, Jinx, Master Shraw and Storm arrived in a large open area, where a Republic Cannon was waiting for them to load the Nuclear Bomb onto and out to space.
Ahsoka and M'gann soon got off as Serra, Jyl, Asajj, O-Mer, Jinx and Zatanna came out. "Help me load the crate onto the cannon!" Ahsoka ordered, starting to use the Force to carry the crate out from the back of the Tank and into the air. The five other Jedi all extended their hands as Zatanna aimed her wand at the crate while M'gann used her telepathy.
Xion started to push Obi-Wan towards the edge, cackling madly. All of a sudden, she saw the Young Justice start to load the crate carrying the ORDER's Nuclear Bomb onto a cannon, aiming towards space. "No!" Xion exclaimed. "I won't allow it!"
"But I will!" Obi-Wan exclaimed. He then pushed Xion off, twirling his own lightsaber in front of him and then placing it across his chest. Xion charged towards Obi-Wan and then slashed down with a Vaapad strike. Obi-Wan placed both of his lightsaber up in an "X" shape before breaking off, performing a Makashi jab at Xion. Xion went to the side and struck with a Djem So strike to Obi-Wan's side, which he blocked with Soresu using the lightsaber in his left hand. Obi-Wan then broke off again, dodging an Ataru downwards slash and then scarring Xion at the side.
Xion chuckled, the wound starting to fade away. Obi-Wan just smirked as he faced away from Xion. Xion used a Shii-Cho strike at Obi-Wan while his back was turned, but he placed his right lightsaber behind his back and blocked the blade, breaking off and twirling around to slash at Xion in the abdomen. Xion stumbled back in surprise as Obi-Wan got onto his knees, his lightsabers ready. Xion prepared to attack again, but Obi-Wan slashed at her abdomen again, causing her to stumble forwards as Obi-Wan then kicked her away.
Xion looked to Obi-Wan and snarled. "Allow me to show you a trick I learned from Ahsoka Tano and Miss Martian!" Xion yelled, thrusting her Xiphon lightsaber down and circling it around in front of herself, eventually placing herself in a Soresu Opening Stance. She then slashed at Obi-Wan what appeared to be her own version of what she thought to be SokaTan.
"An imperfect version of SokaTan…" Obi-Wan started out, thrusting his lightsaber down as well. "Is no better that the original!" Obi-Wan Kenobi exclaimed. He thrust it up and then back down again before twirling around and slashing his Trinity Symbol, followed by another SokaTan strike from his second lightsaber.
Both of the attacks collided with each other in midair between the two, causing a bright flash of light to appear. Everyone looked up as the SokaTan Attacks started to implode on each other, causing Xion to be thrown off of the Tank. Obi-Wan just fell to his knees, and his lightsabers deactivated as the Crystals imbued with the Force that Xion stole from Master Shraw and Master Storm fell to the ground in front of him.
Ahsoka, Miss Martian, Zatanna, Serra, Asajj, Jyl, O-Mer and Jinx all gasped and smiled upon the victory before using their powers to throw the Dynamic Nuclear Generation System Bomb into space.
"No!" Barriss exclaimed as she landed on top of the Clone Turbo Tank, flying back into the air to intercept the bomb before it could get away from the Planet.
Everyone all watched as the bomb hit Barriss, knocking her to the ground, before making its way into orbit. There, the bomb detonated due to the pressure, causing both the Republic Forces, Separatist Forces, the Jedi and the Young Justice to all sigh with relief.
Obi-Wan landed back on the ground, walking over towards Master Shraw and Master Storm. "Masters," he said, getting Shraw and Storm to turn to him after rejoicing for the victory. Obi-Wan placed up the Crystals he grabbed and handed them to both of the Jedi Masters. "I believe that these… belong to you."
Shraw and Storm both smiled before they looked their Crystals, now shining. Everyone all watched as the Jedi Masters' bodies started to light up. They could feel the Force flowing back through them as the Crystals then sunk into their chests.
"I must admit, Jedi," Xion's voice then said, causing everyone to gasp and turn around. Xion stood in front of the remains of many flaming Republic and Separatist Tanks as she sent a devilish grin to them. "That was all very well-played. Our bomb is now off of Felucia, and for the first time in history, I was defeated in combat, and the Force Powers I took are now returned to their rightful owners." Xion complimented them. She then sent them a Slasher Smile. "Joining forces may have helped you to win the battle today, but I can assure you, the ORDER has many more surprises in store for all of you."
Barriss flew over towards Xion before Clone Gunships and Vulture Droids flew into the area, as well as more Republic and Separatist Tanks. "You won't get away with what you've done!" Jinx yelled out.
"Fire!" Boil ordered the Republic Forces.
"Fire!" a Tactical Droid then ordered the Separatist Forces.
All of the Tanks and Fighters then shot missiles at Xion and Barriss. Barriss gasped and stumbled back, getting onto all fours while Xion just remained where she was.
Xion cackled madly, placing her right hand up and then snapping it. With the snap of her fingers, the missiles all stopped, causing everyone to gasp. "What is this?!" Ahsoka demanded.
Xion once again sent a Slasher Smile towards everyone. "This…" she started out sadistically. "Is the True Power… of the Dark Side!" she exclaimed. She then swung around her Xiphon, causing all of the missiles to disappear.
One of the Battle Droids started to stutter. "Did she just–?"
"She did." A Clone Trooper next to the Battle Droid then said with surprise.
Barriss started to fly back to the rest of the ORDER Fleet while Xion grinned at the Republic and the Separatists, walking into the flames and disappearing.
Later on, the Separatist Forces started to leave the Planet. Ahsoka and the Young Justice, as well as Obi-Wan, brought the injured Clone Troopers, O-Mer, Jinx, Jedi Masters Shraw and Storm back into the Resolute as the Jedi Council and even Chancellor Palpatine watched over the recording of the battle and of what Xion could do.
Mace Windu looked to Xion's fight with much concern. "I can sense that Xion is indeed strong with the Dark Side of the Force," the Grand Jedi Master deducted. "Being able to siphon the Force away like that is a danger to both us AND the Sith."
"I admit, she IS a danger now." Palpatine stated.
All of a sudden, behind the Chancellor, Republic Missiles started to pour down. The Young Justice, Anakin, Obi-Wan, and the Justice League representatives all gasped as all of the Republic Missiles that Xion vanished rained down on Coruscant with great ferocity.
Master Yoda looked with surprise as Chancellor Palpatine signed off. The Jedi Council members all sighed before looking back to Anakin, Obi-Wan and the Young Justice. "End this call for now, we must," Yoda said. "In ruins, Coruscant now lies in. Powerful, Xion truly is with the Dark Side, but tend to the wounded here on Coruscant, we must do, and help to restore the Planet, we MUST." Master Yoda added on with a deal of great grief and sternness in his voice. With that, he signed off, leaving everyone on board the Resolute to fall silent with shock.
Boil then came over. "Please pardon me for the interruption, Generals," he said. "But we have whole battalions of Clone Troopers severely injured. We must get them back to Kamino."
Obi-Wan nodded before Ahsoka stepped up. "We'll come along and help you." The Togruta Padawan said.
"Thank you." Boil replied back. He then walked away to his Brothers before O-Mer and Jinx then walked up.
"Ahsoka, we can't thank you enough for coming back to help us." O-Mer said with pride.
"We want to help you in any way we can to get back at the ORDER," Jinx added on. "With your permission, we would like to become members of your Young Justice."
Black Canary sighed as she stepped up, looking to Asajj Ventress, Jyl Somtay, O-Mer and Jinx. "The Young Justice seems to be getting full here," she joked. "Maybe you can join them, but not go on every mission with them."
"I agree," Martian Manhunter stated. "While we hope to expand the Young Justice in any way we can, we must help to train any new recruits."
Aqualad nodded. "Yes, we must," he stated. He then looked to the four new members and craned his neck. "For now, you will be in the care of the Justice League representatives, training with them and learning the basics on how we operate." Kaldur stated.
Ahsoka smiled and then patted O-Mer and Jinx on the shoulders. "Don't worry," Ahsoka reassured them. "You'll get your chance to live the experience with us soon."
Anakin smiled and walked up to the Young Justice as Martian Manhunter, Black Canary, Aquaman, Icon and Wonder Woman all helped the new members of the Young Justice to another part of the Hangar Bay. "Better hurry," Anakin reminded them. "Those injured Clones will need some assist."
Ahsoka nodded and looked to the Young Justice. "Well, let's go." She said, walking off to the Bioship with M'gann.
The Young Justice all smiled as they started to follow. Obi-Wan just looked to Anakin and chuckled, the two starting to walk back to the Bridge.
Soon, the Bioship took off with a small fleet of Republic Medical Frigates, all full of every one of the injured Clone Troopers.
"Prepare for Lightspeed," Miss Martian said, starting to press at the buttons while the rest of the Frigates started to prepare as well.
Within a matter of minutes, the Medical Frigates took off into Hyperspace, followed by the Bioship soon afterwards.
On board the Marauder, Sylas started to speak with the ORDER Council. "I regret to inform you all that the DNGS we planted in Felucia failed to go off."
August looked to Sylas and grinned. "Every failure can be a success, my friend." He reassured the Leader of the ORDER.
"After all, the Bomb went off, and unknown to everyone, it managed to take three uninhabited Planets with it." A man in blue and black armor said.
"And your Daughter seems to have gotten the best of everyone," a female figure in crimson armor added on. "I hear that she laid waste to Coruscant and even Serenno."
Sylas smirked upon hearing this. "And you seem to be putting your plan in motion to drag cities of humans to be an army for your King, am I correct?"
"Their plan is working, thanks to you sending Darth Malgus here to help," Phobos stated. "We shall all keep in touch."
"Meeting adjourned." Everyone then said, signing off.
Sylas walked out of the room and looked to Xion. "Did everything go as planned?" he asked his Daughter.
Xion chuckled and nodded. "It was placed on Felucia without anyone noticing, just like you said." Xion replied.
Sylas chuckled. "Good, very good," he said. Sylas then looked over towards Parasite, Rako Hardeen, Striker, Slick and Ultraboy. "I sense the Republic is taking their wounded to Kamino," he told them. "Go there, and steal the Cloning Samples. We shall create a larger army for the ORDER."
Ultraboy chuckled and cracked his knuckles. "Can't wait." He said darkly as Parasite and Rako followed him.
In the Hangar Bay, Cad Bane was there, waiting for them. "All for the ORDER." He said before taking off in the Xanadu Blood.
Xion then started to walk away, causing Sylas to look to her. "Xion, where are you going?" Sylas asked with much concern.
Xion sighed before she turned around to face her father, a stern look emerging on her face. "I must go to Korriban," Xion explained very stoically and seriously. "I sense within me that I have a far greater deal about the Dark Side to learn."
Sylas nodded at this. "Good luck." He said.
Xion nodded, making her way to the Hangar Bay. Sylas watched as Xion soon took off in her personal ORDER Starfighter. She let out a chuckle before flying off, now on her way to the Ancient Home World of the Sith and the very origin of the Dark Side of the Force.
Sylas chuckled as well. "I sense that our victory will be a grand day for the ORDER." He said. "At that point, when the world and this universe has their backs turned on us, then they will wish that they had listened to us." He remarked, walking back into his quarters.
