The next hour Shada spent telling her father what her mother had taught her. Well, most of it. She had neglected to mention that Kristi had a new boyfriend or what the house had looked like. She didn't tell her father where Kristi was living, though she did toy with the idea of taking him there herself to see what the woman would say.

When they reached her room her father sent her off to bed, but Shada wasn't tired. She went to the closet and flicked on the light. The light made the little black astromech droid swivel around at her. He was still at the computer jacked in. "Have you downloaded everything?" Shada asked. Crusher gave her a negative whistle. Almost done. The whistle said. "Good." She replied. Shada sat down in front of the computer and opened up a folder labeled JUNGLE. She browsed down to the end of the document and began to type. She was still typing when Crusher unplugged and went to wherever droids went when they slept. An hour later, she went to sleep herself.

Kristi watched Shada go inside the palace before taking off. She knew that Shada had planned to kill everyone on Emberlene, well in the palace, when she had convinced the girl to go with her. She wondered whether Shada would decide to kill her as well. Kristi had been planning to take the girl as an apprentice, but even if she did agree to it, Shada was most likely to kill her when she got what she wanted. She smiled to herself. Of course, She also knew that Shada would try and use her feelings for Alex and Xander against her. That would be a problem, but not one that couldn't be dealt with. Shada would kill them, go after her, and then she would be just what Kristi wanted her to be. And when that happens, I'll be the one to make sure that she follows the path her father never wanted her to be on. Kristi thought.

In the morning, Shada was in a bad mood. Not that she ever had a good mood, but unlike usual, her mood was anything but ideal. Today, I'll take care of all my problems. She thought. But before Shada could take care of anything, she would have to endure another meeting with the goddamned Eleven. According to what she'd gotten out of her father last night, she was going to be sent on another mission. She could only hope that this time she would be allowed to go alone, even if she was now the youngest sent on missions. She had proven herself time and time again. If they do send anyone, I'll kill them.

An hour later, Shada was in the council room. She was in front of the Eleven, well in the middle of them really. They were arranged in a circle around the room, which was also circular. The room was flooded with the early morning sunlight, making it seem like Shada was standing in a pyramid of light because of the pyramid-shaped ceiling.

Shada was facing the oldest of the group, an old woman who could no longer walk on her own. She had been on the council for all of Shada's life. Hell, she had been on the council for almost all of Sky's life too. According to her father, the woman had at one point had black hair, but now her hair was white. The woman's amber eyes were cold, but could never reach the level of coldness Shada's eyes were. Shada's father had also said that she had liked Shada's mother and although the woman pretended to favor her, Shada could feel that she really didn't like Shada. She thought that Shada was too rebellious and had too much personality.

Now, the woman, Shada couldn't remember her name but thought that it was something like Alexis Delgado. It sounded right anyway. Shada didn't really care what her name was. Delgado was watching Shada warily. The rest of the Eleven weren't as old as Delgado and all seemed only slightly annoyed by Shada's rebelliousness. The council was made only of older Mistryl, the youngest being a sixty-five-year-old woman named Justine

Sheldon. Unlike Delgado her hair wasn't white, but it was slowly getting there.

"So Shada, you will be going to the Dathomir System." Alexis Delgado told her. "There you will go to the city of Bestin."

"You will be going alone." A man who Shada thought was called Shane Striker said. "You are being sent there because you are our best agent. Do you understand?"

"Yup." Shada replied. Delgado glared at her, but Shada wouldn't have to worry about the woman's displeasure at her arrogance much longer. She wouldn't have to worry about any of them much longer. Her plan was about to take effect. And when it did, it was going to hit with a bang. A big bang. "So what am I being sent there for?" Shada asked. She was just as casual as she had been for every other mission she had been sent on, if not a little more so. Of course today, Shada was more arrogant, but that was because she was ready for what was going to happen and everyone else was going about their daily lives unaware of what was going to happen. Even the Eleven were totally unaware.

"We need you to obtain a . . ." Delgado looked over at Sheldon.

"An important program designed for the Hammertong specifically." Sheldon finished. She was glaring at Shada. This girl is too uncontrollable to be doing this mission. She's too unpredictable. She thought.

"Where's it gonna be?" Shada asked, pretending to be totally oblivious to Sheldon's glare.

"At the heart of the city." Striker said. They were getting annoyed now, but that was okay.

"In what?"

"We don't know. It's possible that it could be in another holocron." A man answered. Shada knew him a little better than she would have liked. He was her father's friend and he not only favored Shada, but showed it willingly and was the one most likely to give her all the details the rest of the Eleven wouldn't give her. His name was Christopher Norman and unlike the others, Shada didn't refer to him with his last name. He had always insisted that she call him Chris. He was a year older than Sheldon.

"So, how well guarded will it be?" Shada asked.

"You will be ready to leave in an hour." Delgado said, ignoring Shada's question. She was annoyed. Good. Shada thought. Let her be. "Dismissed." Delgado finished waving her hand. The council would break up now.

Shada left and as she was heading for the door, Chris motioned for her to wait for him at the exit. He would be the first one out.

Shada exited and stood by the door, out of the way, hidden by the shadows. A few minutes later, Chris exited and looked around for her. He saw her and took her to a deserted conference room. He closed and locked the door behind him. "Sit." He told her.

She sat. "What's up Chris?" She asked.

"I shouldn't say anything, but I will anyway. The rest of the Eleven are . . . concerned." He sat down next to her and took her hand. "They were . . . unwilling to send you alone, but figured that since you had gotten away from the pirates, you would be fine. I wonder if I hadn't vouched for you, would they have let you go?"

"But you're unsure if it was wise to let me go as well, aren't you?" She asked.

"Yes." He wasn't surprised that she knew this. "I want you to be careful Shada." He sighed and took something out of his pocket. "This is supposed to be off record, but the Eleven are giving you this." He handed her a small envelope. "Open it."

Shada opened it and saw that it was a group of maps. Detailed maps that weren't like the one she had gotten for the trip through the jungle. There was also a stack of credits on the larger side as well. "Why are you giving me money?" Shada asked.

"Because if you need to use it for anything, use it." Chris replied. "Shada one other thing. Some of the Eleven, not much, but some, don't believe that your brother and the others were killed by pirates."

"That's not my fault." Shada said, glancing at her chrono. "I should get ready."

"Yes, go." Chris told her. He didn't say what he believed, just let her go.

An hour later, Shada had all her things, including her mother's stuff, in the Sun Crusher. Crusher was plugged into the console inside the ship downloading everything into her computer. The room was completely empty. Shada had even put her mother's desk aboard the ship. Shada had emptied the room, not only to save everything she owned, but to fit her plans as well.

She went back inside the Sun Crusher after making sure her room was empty. She came back with a small rectangular box. It was small, but it would make one hell of a mess when it went off. Shada put the bomb in the corner of her room where the desk had been. It would go off when she wanted it to and not a second before or after. Her powers would see to that.

Shada made sure it was ready, then left, heading for her father's office. She would let him know she was leaving before she blew her room up. She met her father about halfway to his office. "I'm leaving for the Dathomir System now." She told him.

"Be careful Shada." Her father said as he gave her a hug.

"I will."

"I love you sweetheart."

"You too Dad." As Shada watched her father walk away, she triggered the bomb. She knew that when it went off five seconds later, she would be well out of the way. Her father however, would not. If the blast didn't kill him, she would herself and he would never know she had done it.
