Hello there, everyone, and Happy Thanksgiving! Are you all having a good Holiday so far? You all getting ready for your special Thanksgiving Dinner with your family? I hope so. This is SuperHeroTimeFan, coming back to you on this Thursday with a brand-new Chapter for my best Story, Journey of the Knight: Honor Bound! What's been going on with all of you? Are you all caught up with Star Wars Rebels? Did you see Justice League? Did you like it? I didn't see it, so I assume you liked it. Anyways, sorry this took so long, but I had a paper to work on and a test to get done. Speaking of the test, I totally aced it! One-hundred percent all the way! Thank you all for supporting me in what I do. I really appreciate it. I would like to spread my thanks to the following: MinuteMan76, MartyrFan, Jacqueline Karst, Logan GC, FusionBase27A, Ezra Wren, Ultimate Advent Story Dude VII, Eubulon Zenith Extreme, Geo Hikari The 2nd, Cycomatrix Eternal, fire-storm-amagi, The REAL Doom Marine 54, Hay Lin x Tsukasa Kadoya, Ross Blum the IV, Rebel Sabine Bridger, HarmonyGirl567, Riku Soncazenosee, Dwayne McDuffie, Bowser3000000, animebella09, Slade The Terminator, High Supreme King Of Awesome, Tines Sensahthe, Ultra Neo Kamen Rider 15, Awesometacular Extravaganza, 17lakect, Spartan of Chaos, dragonslayerajahn, DJ Meltdown of Ground Xero, Just a Crazy-Man, Sleeping Skeleton, Mr. FNAF Fan-Gamer, LadyStar10, Neos the Final Builder, 1049, ToLegitt2Quit, RebeccaSnow23, Carlos Jacob, Wolfslick, CT7567Rules, Outplace, TheGreatGodzilla, Darth Sicarius, AbbyDobbie, Maximus Potter, Darth Khan, Virgil1989 The Crossover King, and of course, all of the Guest Reviewers. I don't know where I would be without all of you. It might be dinner by the time you read this, so I just want to say that I'm thankful for all of you being there to support me. It really means a lot. Thank you. Now, before I get started on the new Chapter, please allow me to address some of the Reviews. First off, we have Time Lord 27. I can try to have a Chapter with Ahsoka and the Bendu together on Atollon. It may be a stretch, but I can at least try. However, I need to be careful not to spoil anything for her, since she can't know about Anakin Skywalker's fall to the Dark Side of the Force yet. Your idea of having Anakin and Padmé spend time with the Lars Family sounds good too. I'll try to do that, but not for this Thanksgiving Special. Sorry. Besides, I don't want to start him off to the Dark Side of the Force too soon. To Travis Middleton, now known on the Site as The Mandalorian Terminator. I answered all of your questions in our PM Conversations. As for the ones in your reviews, let me see. Barriss actually has a memory gap from the moment she turned against the ORDER back in Journey of the Knight, so she actually doesn't remember who Darth Sidious is. Thank you for bringing that up. Anakin and Deathstroke will have a rematch eventually. I can't make any promises about bringing in characters from Green Lantern: The Animated Series, but I can try to bring in characters and Planets from that and other shows, like I did with Saint Walker. I'll get to what happened to Project CADMUS after Season One of Young Justice, as well as how Guardian discovered he was a clone. As for the Light, I'll have to think about that too. Nyssa can appear. Terra will never betray the Team in my story, so take that, comics! Beast Boy and Terra are already a couple in my Story, so there's that too. You'll have to wait and see for what happens to Asajj Ventress. I'll think about having Klarion and Louise Lincoln as a couple. Now, for Carlos Jacob, I haven't read the new novels yet, but I have caught up on Darth Vader: The Chosen One: The Dark Lord of the Sith. I'll think about the Jedi outcasts with a new Jedi Academy. I'll try to get far into Rebels, so I can try to do that one. I don't think I can do that Mutagen idea. The meeting with Senators and others from Earth and the Expanded Universe sounds like a good idea. I'll put it into consideration. And I can assure you, the Young Justice will be playing a major role in taking on the Empire. Also, thank you for all the news regarding Star Wars and DC. It means a lot. Now, with all reviews out of the way, here is my brand-new Chapter! Hold on, fans of a certain Human Imperial Grand Admiral. Please be sure to review, rate, and as always, please be sure to enjoy!
Chapter 11: The Runaway
Work smarter, not harder.
Risen from the shadows! After gathering the greatest foes of the Justice League and the Young Justice from Earth and in the Expanded Universe, Darth Maul finally assembles his Legion of Doom! Taking Planet for their own and making themselves known both Galaxies, they continue to plunder, even almost obliterating the Young Justice and the best of the Jedi. After a long battle on the Planet of Sarrish, the Republic Fleet arrives to take care of them, but Darth Maul has other plans in store, a tremendous Warship known as… the RUINATION!
Ahsoka and Serra both flew out of the Equinox in their Jedi Starfighters, leading Miss Martian and the rest of the Young Justice in the Bioship.
"Any idea what we're looking at here?" Connor asked. "There a Ship we haven't been told about?"
"I'm… I'm not sure," Ahsoka said. "I've never seen a Ship this huge before in my life!"
"I'm not sure anyone has even lived to see something like this." Robin said.
"We have to call of the rest of the Republic Fleet!" Anakin told the rest of the crews aboard the four backup Republic Star Cruisers. "This Ship looks like it could do a lot of damage!"
"We'll see about that!" Oddball called out as he flew out with several Clone Troopers piloting Y-Wings. "Everyone, lock your torpedoes!"
"Locked on!" Ahsoka called out as R3 beeped.
"Locking on!" Serra called out as she sent the command to R8-P6.
"Torpedoes locked!" Miss Martian called out. "Let's blow this thing sky high, Shadow Squadron!"
"Fire everything!" Admiral Yularen commanded.
"Fire!" Ahsoka ordered.
Ahsoka and Serra's Jedi Starfighters, as well as Shadow Squadron and the Republic Star Cruisers, fired onto the Ruination.
Darth Maul stumbled from the hit, as did the rest of the Legion of Doom and the Shadow Collective Army.
"Give me status on the Shields!" Darth Maul ordered.
"Shields are at ninety-nine point nine-hundred ninety-nine percent capacity." A female Death Watch Devil announced.
"And what of the Fusion Cannons, Rook?" Gar Saxon asked.
"The torpedoes aborted the charge." Rook Kast replied.
Darth Maul regained his composure. "No matter," he said. "Prepare to fire our forward batteries."
Outside, Anakin and Obi-Wan, from the Equinox and the Negotiator respectively, were looking to the explosion that followed the torpedoes hitting the Ruination.
"Did we do it?" Artemis asked.
The smoke cleared as all of the Ships gathered together again. Their eyes went wide with surprise as soon as they saw the shields up, the Ruination hardly damaged.
"It didn't even faze it!" Kid Flash exclaimed.
"We need to try something else!" Commander Ozzel exclaimed. "What about the tactic we used on Ryloth?"
"We have to do it fast and now!" Admiral Dodonna called out.
"Fire!" Darth Maul ordered.
Lasers started to rain down on the Y-Wing Fighters from the Ruination, destroying three of them.
"Shields up!" Aqualad called out, activating the Shields for the Bioship.
"Brace yourselves!" Paula called out.
"Admiral Klause, we're ready!" a Clone Trooper called out to an Admiral.
"Hold!" Admiral Dodonna ordered. "We can't risk losing any Fighters!"
"You come up with a plan, I'll cover you!" Admiral Klause called out. "All speed ahead!"
Admiral Klause's Star Cruiser flew at the Ruination full tilt. The gun from the Ruination continued to fire at Klause's Star Cruiser while Ahsoka and Miss Martian flew the Bioship towards the Ruination, Ahsoka preparing to open her hatch and put her helmet on while Wally got up.
"Keep it steady!" Kid Flash ordered as he ran to the back.
"It's too risky!" Zatanna called out as she got up as well. "It might not be strong enough!"
"If you have a better idea," Barriss said as she, Saw and Jaybo got up as well. "Let's hear it!"
"We need to throw everything we've got at this thing!" Ahsoka exclaimed. "No time to argue!"
"Fusion Cannons charged!" Rook Kast called out.
"Get that Star Cruiser out of my sight!" Darth Maul ordered.
"Now!" Ahsoka called out. She opened her cockpit and fired a beam of light.
Kid Flash raced around in circles several times before the hatch opened. He tossed his lightning out with Ahsoka's light while Barriss sent fire forward.
"Erif nrub nordluac elbbub!" Zatanna called out, sending forth fire from her sword and wand.
Saw and Jaybo opened fire on the Ruination as several other Y-Wings opened fire with the rest of the Republic Star Cruisers.
At that moment, the Fusion Cannon of the Ruination fully charged up, blasting a hole through Admiral Klause's Star Cruiser. It fell to pieces while the rest of the Star Cruisers and Fighters were scattered aside.
"Whoa!" Commander Ozzel exclaimed as he felt his new Star Cruiser shake.
Ahsoka and the Young Justice continued to pour their combined attack, but it did little to damage the Ruination.
"That blast's matching our own!" Robin exclaimed.
"Keep it going!" Ahsoka ordered. "If it outdoes us, the Fleet will lose five of the best Ships!"
"Ahsoka, stop!" Serra called out. "We need to diver the blast away!"
"A bit hard to do in a standoff!" Rocket argued.
"Rocket, think big!" Aqualad ordered. "Right now, this Ship is unmatched! We have to retreat!"
Rocket nodded as she grabbed a suit. "On it!" she called out, flying out.
"Release!" Ahsoka ordered.
"Hang on!" Katooni called out.
The Young Justice released their blast, causing the Fusion Cannon from the Ruination to fire forward. Rocket flew out and formed a large shield. She managed to hold it for a while before Ahsoka flew out and fired with her, increasing the strength of the shield.
"Rocket, you okay?" Katooni asked.
"I'm getting there!" Rocket called out. "Get back! We'll follow you!"
"Fall back!" Obi-Wan ordered the Negotiator.
Ahsoka held the blast with Rocket before using the Force to grab the fallen pieces of Admiral Klause's Star Cruiser. She formed the pieces into a spear before tossing it towards the Fusion Cannon, causing it to backfire a little.
"Fusion Cannon hit!" Deathbolt called out. "Shall we charge it again?"
Darth Maul narrowed his eyes at Obi-Wan and Ahsoka, who looked back at him sternly. After a while, he turned around.
"Let them leave," Darth Maul ordered. "There is no sport in killing them all now."
"Get out! Now!" Ahsoka called out as she and Rocket went back to their respective Ships. "We have to go!"
"Full Speed ahead!" Lux called out.
The remaining four Star Cruisers, the Bioship, Ahsoka and Serra all took off into Hyperspace, away from the Planet of Sarrish, but most importantly, away from the Ruination.
"They've escaped!" Harley Quinn. "Ah, I hate hit and runs!"
"There is nowhere they can run," Darth Maul said. He turned his attention to Gar Saxon. "Tell your brother on Ganthel to prepare for our arrival," he ordered. "We need to make some more preparations before we fully depart to our new Base."
In Hyperspace, Ahsoka and the Young Justice were coming out of the Bioship and Jedi Starfighters. Rocket felt her arm while Wally checked his vitals. Robin walked over to Ahsoka with Jaybo and Saw beside him.
"You did good out there," Ahsoka said. "We may not have won, but at least we made our attack count."
"Thanks," Saw said. "But what was that Ship?"
"I… don't know," Ahsoka replied. "But during our first wave, I saw its Hangar Bay."
"And…?" Jaybo asked.
"It's much larger than any other, as if it were run by Giants," Ahsoka said. "It looked like it could fit an entire Star Cruiser in it, or even a Separatist Dreadnought."
"Did we at least get a scan of it?" Serra asked as she came over.
"A little bit," Robin said. "Get everyone onto the Bridge, and I'll see what we found out."
Later on, the rest of the Young Justice, as well as the Justice League, Mace Windu, Depa Billaba and Anakin were gathered on the Bridge.
"Any details on the Ship?" Captain Rex asked.
"Yeah," Robin said before he synced up his hologlove with the data panel, showing the Ruination on it. "As far as we can tell, it's a massive Warship with more cannons than any of the five Ships we have, and from what we saw it do to Klause's ship, we can assume it has enough power to take down an entire Star Cruiser with one Fusion Blast."
"It's another Malevolence." Mace Windu said.
"I wish that were the case, Master Windu," Ahsoka said as she walked up, pulling up schematics of another Separatist Dreadnought. "This was the Malevolence," she said before putting it next to the Ruination. "This… this is Darth Maul's newest Warship."
"The Ruination." Miss Martian said, causing everyone to turn to her.
"What?" Katooni asked.
"While we were doing out torpedo run, I could read the mind of the Legion," Miss Martian said. "I'm guessing, after Sonia defeated them, Ma'alefa'ak was severely hurt, and their mental defenses were dropped. They call it the Ruination."
"Thank you, M'gann," Anakin said. "This is most helpful."
"It's a pleasure, Master Skywalker." Miss Martian replied back.
"From what I can tell, using Republic Star Cruisers for scale," Robin said as he pulled up five Republic Star Cruisers. "It measures two Star Cruisers long and three more wide. And from what Ahsoka told us, the Hangar Bay of the Ruination can hold an entire Star Cruiser and/or Dreadnought Ship."
"What else?" Depa Billaba asked.
"So far, that's all we know," Jaybo said. "We couldn't gather any more Intel, unfortunately."
"We could get more, but we'd have to go to a Shadow Collective stronghold to do so," Robin said. "And they have a lot of criminal organizations on their side."
"There's a lot of them in the Galaxy," Anakin said. "I hate to say it, but Maul chose his allies well. There are more criminals in all parts of the Galaxy than there are any of our soldiers, Clones or Droids alike."
"Well, we've been keeping our eye on criminal activity, and we've been making an algorithm for crime organizations that the Shadow Collective haven't recruited yet," Serra said as he and Jaybo bumped fists together. "On Ganthel, there's a criminal group known as the Kotaska, traffickers and spice dealers. They're developing a drug that can cause mild hallucinogenic effects. Brought from an ancient drink from Earth, the place where Mari came from, Zambezi."
"We should look into Ganthel and the Kotaska," Ahsoka said. "I volunteer for Robin and I to investigate while everyone else recovers from their fight with the Legion."
Zatanna stepped up to Robin. "Request approved," she said before kissing Robin on the cheek. "Be careful out there."
"You too," Robin said. "I mean, get better. I mean… kiss me again, please."
Zatanna smiled and kissed Robin on the lips. Everyone looked and smiled, even Mace Windu and Depa Billaba.
"Right…" Ahsoka said. "We'll need the Twilight for this. Martian Starkiller may be out of the action, but we can't risk anyone taking control of the Bioship."
"You have my permission," Anakin said. "May the Force be with you two."
"And with you too," Ahsoka said as she held her hand out. "Take it easy."
Anakin smiled and shook hands with Ahsoka. "Don't get too banged up." He said.
Soon, Ahsoka and Robin were on the Twilight. Robin looked around at the interior of the Twilight, seeing all the modifications made by Anakin and Ahsoka during the past years.
"This was your Ship?" Robin asked.
"For a while," Ahsoka replied. She sat down and looked to Robin as he continued to look around. "Hey…" she said, tapping the Boy Wonder on the shoulder. "Dick, what's wrong?"
"Oh, it's nothing," Robin said. "Let's just get to Ganthel and get this over with."
Ahsoka took off out of the Equinox and into Hyperspace. As soon as the two were alone, she turned back to Robin.
"You know, it's not wise to hide your feelings, especially when someone has the Force," Ahsoka said, causing Robin to sigh. "Come on, tell me what's wrong. We can always rely on each other if we have a problem."
"It's just that… well…" Robin started out. "It's almost been a year since we've left Earth, and I feel like I'm going to miss Thanksgiving with Batman and Barbara."
"Jason, EmJay and Kalifa too," Ahsoka added on. "I get what you mean, Dick. We all miss our families. Why do you think Paula even came to the Expanded Universe? She missed Artemis."
"She and Miss Martian are the only ones with relatives here while our other family members are back on Earth," Robin said. "I know the mission always comes first, and we got some time off from Padmé… but have you ever stopped to wonder how your family might be doing? I mean, Zatanna still misses her Father, especially on Thanksgiving, you helped Elsa to control her feelings and go back to her home family, and Batman gave his identity to you," he listed off. "Batman and Alfred are the only family I have besides you and the Young Justice. We might be facing Maul now… but think about how our lives would be if we were with our families instead."
Ahsoka sighed. "I understand," she said. "How about once we return to the Equinox, I can relieve you of duty for a while so you can spend an early Thanksgiving with Bruce, Barbara, Jason, Kalifa and EmJay?" she suggested. "But it wouldn't be just you, I can do it with everyone else who misses their family. We have the new Young Justice members to help out should anything happen to any of you."
"That would help a lot," Anakin said. "Thanks."
Ahsoka smiled before the monitor beeped. "We're coming out of Hyperspace," she said. "Prepare to arrive on Ganthel."
The Twilight came out of Hyperspace and flew down towards the Surface of Ganthel. Robin and Ahsoka looked around at all the shipping yards and tall buildings. A Corellian YT-1300f light freighter pulled up at a dock while a VCX-100 light freighter flew up to another dock, where three large cranes lifted up the cargo it was holding.
"Docking Platform 17, this is the Twilight, requesting permission to land," Ahsoka said. "Clearance Code 25849 Omega."
"Clearance Codes check out," a voice said. "Welcome. You will be met with a greeting party when you arrive. Stand by."
Ahsoka nodded. "Roger, standing by," she said before looking to Robin. "Hope Batman brought you to shipping yards before, because this Planet is all shipping and trade. Be careful about how you go around."
Unknown to Ahsoka and Robin, a squad of Mandalorians were checking out a warehouse, being escorted by men wearing metal skull masks.
"Here we are, Saxon," one of the men said. "Does this look like enough Kaiaus to deliver to your boss?"
"More than enough," the Mandalorian leader said before removing his helmet, revealing himself to be younger than Gar Saxon, with some blonde hair instead of white. "And remember, I'm Tiber Saxon. Lord Maul will be very pleased with this indeed."
"Hate to interrupt," General Zod said, suddenly appearing behind the Death Watch Devils and the Kotaska. "But you seem to have company."
"Zod," Tiber said. "How are you doing?"
"No time for pleasantries," Zod said. "Darth Maul sent me ahead to ensure that our stronghold here is protected against the likes of the Republic or the Separatists. We've already released the power of the Ruination against the Young Justice. They'll be trying to gain knowledge about it to find a weakness."
"I see," Tiber said before looking to the leader of the Kotaska. "Find the Young Justice, and throw them in a cell. I want to execute them when Lord Maul arrives."
Meanwhile, the Twilight landed at Docking Platform 17. Ahsoka and Robin came out, finding some lizard-like aliens waiting for them.
"Robin, these are the Silurian Traders," Ahsoka introduced. "They are one of the many traders here, like the Terrelian Trade Corps from Naboo."
"Welcome, Jedi Knight," the leader of the Silurian Traders said. "We are honored to have you here on Ganthel."
"The honor is ours," Ahsoka said as she and Robin bowed respectively. "How has business been going since the last time I was here?"
"It has been booming," the leader of the Silurians replied. "Thanks to the new trade routes that have opened up, we are able to extend to more Systems."
"Good, very good," Robin said, causing the Silurian Traders to look to him. "I may not understand what's going on, but I know good business when I hear it. I think you're doing a good job."
"This is Robin, from the Young Justice," Ahsoka introduced. "We're actually here to investigate some criminal activity… and to make sure Darth Maul and the Shadow Collective haven't struck yet."
"Ever since they have revealed themselves, we have been waiting for help," an aide of the Silurian Trader Leader said. "A couple of days ago, the Kotaska started to increase, and a Mandalorian Freighter arrived two days after."
"We didn't alert any side because we didn't want to draw any suspicion," the leader of the Silurian Traders said. "Ever since the Terrelian Trade Corps were exposed on Naboo, we have been careful about business."
"I see," Ahsoka said. "May I speak with Mhopta about the situation, Aulzgud?"
"Of course," Aulzgud said. "Follow me, please."
Ahsoka nodded as she and Robin followed after the Silurian Traders. As they were walking, she handed something to Robin.
"What?" Robin whispered, feeling a small metal hilt in his hand. "What's this?"
"Some people here can't be trusted," Ahsoka whispered. "Keep this on you at all times. No questions."
Robin nodded. "Well, you have your reasons," he said before the two continued to walk after the Silurian Traders. "I see no reason to doubt them."
As Ahsoka and Robin were led down a street, the lights started to turn on, and more lights filled the air.
"Aulzgud?" Ahsoka asked.
"What's happening?" Robin asked.
"The Night Shift is coming," Aulzgud explained. "It gets dark here, so we have to keep more of the lights on."
All of a sudden, some of the lights went out on the street.
"That part of the night shift?" Robin asked.
"No…" Aulzgud said. "We need to move."
All of a sudden, a blast took down one of the Silurians.
"Take cover!" Ahsoka called out as she activated her lightsaber.
More blasts came, causing Ahsoka to use her Soresu stance to deflect each one. She activated her Arm-Mounted Crossbow Gauntlet and shot back, causing more blasts to come by before the Silurians took out blasters, shooting back.
Robin took out some birdarangs. He looked around, pressing his mask and switching to night vision. He could see several heat signatures coming from the top roof. He held his hand back and tossed his birdarangs, which split into four. Each of them hit the snipers on the roof.
"Are there more?" Robin asked.
At that moment, the Kotaska came out, shooting at Ahsoka, Robin and the Silurian Traders again.
Robin held up his cape, causing a force field from the gauntlet of the hand he was holding his cape with to appear. He pushed forward before ramming into some of the Kotaska gangsters while Ahsoka slashed some of their weapons apart. Suddenly, the sound of a familiar lightsaber caught everyone's attention.
"What was that?" Aulzgud asked.
"Wait," Robin said. "I know that!" he exclaimed. "But it's supposed to be on Mandalore!"
"Bo-Katan would never side with Maul… unless someone took the Darksaber!" Ahsoka exclaimed before turning around and activating the Xiphon, blocking an attack from the Darksaber, now in the hands of Tiber Saxon.
"You must be Ahsoka Tano!" Tiber exclaimed. "I've heard a lot about you!"
"That sword doesn't belong to you!" Ahsoka yelled. "Hand it over!"
"Not a chance!" Tiber exclaimed before pushing back and shooting flames at Ahsoka.
Ahsoka knelt down before sending a Force Push towards Tiber, sending him back. However, he suddenly disappeared into thin air.
"We need to get moving," Ahsoka said as she helped some of the Silurians up. "If Death Watch knows we're here, it won't be long before…" she started out before seeing some water float up. "Everyone, move!" she called out.
Several Silurians were knocked aside by a yellow blur. Robin was about to take out an explosive Birdarang until Zod appeared and slammed his fist onto the ground, knocking both Robin and Ahsoka into the air. However, Ahsoka was used to these attacks. She twirled around both of her lightsabers and stabbed them into the ground, creating a seismic wave that knocked the Reverse-Flash out of the air.
"Really, Thawne?" Ahsoka asked. "You should really do something about your entrances. What if someone is peeing? You wanna be covered in that?"
"Really?" Robin asked as he tried to regain himself. "You're making those kinds of jokes now?"
"Liquid goes up all the time!" Ahsoka reasoned. "Someone has to point that out!"
Robin shrugged in agreement. As he was about to toss a Birdarang at the Reverse-Flash, Zod ran over and punched him in the stomach, knocking him out.
"It won't be that easy." The Reverse-Flash said. Without another word, he zoomed away, and Zod took off at the same time.
"Well, that was odd," Ahsoka said as she deactivated her lightsabers. "Right, Robin?" she asked, only to get no response. She turned around and looked to see Robin was no longer there. "Robin!"
Aulzgud groaned as she felt her head. "Knight Tano, what's wrong?" she asked.
"The Legion and Kotaska…" Ahsoka said. "They took Robin!"
A while later, Robin started to come to. He groaned as he slowly opened his eyes, finding himself in a cell. He blinked a couple of times before getting up.
"Wow, Zod packs a punch…" Robin mused before reaching for his belt. Much to his surprise, it was gone. "What?!" he exclaimed. "You've got to be kidding me!" he exclaimed as he got up. He tried to grab the bars, but was stopped by a voice.
"Unless you want a ton of volts going through your body, I'd back off."
Robin turned to see someone else next to him in another cell. It was a girl. She had dark skin, brown hair, a black shirt, torn pants, black boots and crimson fingerless gloves. She looked around the age of nineteen, and she had her hair held back in a long, thick ponytail.
"Thanks for the tip," Robin said. "Now… who are you?"
"You look like that short guy from the Young Justice," the girl said. "Robin, right? Well, I have my rights. I don't have to give my name to any stranger, no matter who they are."
Robin scoffed. "Fine by me," he said as he looked around. "This is a holding cell…" he said. "But where?"
"Shadow Collective Warehouse," the girl replied. "If you want to know how long you've been here, you just got here two hours ago."
"Two hours ago?!" Robin exclaimed. He suddenly hit a realization. "The Shadow Collective is here already? I thought they hadn't aligned themselves with the Kotaska yet!"
"They've been working together, under the radar," the girl said. "I've been stuck here for twelve hours."
"You catch onto their plans too?" Robin asked, almost feeling impressed.
"Nope," the girl replied. "It was my ninth time trying to run away from home. Like the other eight times, I got cold feet and came back. I avoided the Kotaska all the time when I tried, but this time, I wasn't so lucky. Is it really too much to ask to see some green in the Galaxy?"
"I'd offer to take you to a Planet where there's a whole lot of green, water and people who live great lives, but I don't want to take you from your family," Robin said. "So… you won't give me your name, huh?"
"Can't make me, can't bribe me." The girl retorted.
"Fine," Robin said. "I'll just call you Jane Doe."
"That is not my name!" the girl remarked. "That a thing from Earth? You name girls after they've already been given one?"
"No, Jane Doe is just a name for any girl who doesn't want to give out their own name for certain reasons," Robin replied, getting a smirk from the girl. "Now… let's get out of here," he said, causing the girl's eyes to go wide. "Are there any other prisoners here?"
"Yep," Jane replied. She pointed to the floor of Robin's cell, causing him to look down to see a skeleton. "Old Bones used to be in that cell. There are bones in every other one now. They all died of starvation."
"Gah!" Robin recoiled, jumping back. "In other words, we're the only two here."
"Wow, I see why they call you the Boy Wonder now." Jane teased.
Robin scoffed. "'I can see why they call you the Boy Wonder now'…" he mocked before looking around. "Hey…" he said. "Where are the guards?"
"One's getting drunk, the other's getting a bite," Jane replied. "We can't reach through the bars for their keys. Even the gaps have an electro force field."
"Well, that's just complete bull—" Robin started out before noticing what Jane was doing. "You're leaning against the wall." He said.
"Yeah? So?" Jane asked as she turned around.
"Jane, look," Robin said. "If you can touch the walls of the cell, but can't touch the door, then that means…"
"There's a way to get out through the sides!" Jane exclaimed. "Why didn't I think of that?"
"I've been trained by the World's Greatest Detective," Robin said as he went to the side of his own cell. He looked to the side, seeing a bench held up by two chains attached to the wall. "Maybe if I just…" he said before picking up one of the bones. "Sorry, man," he said before ramming it against the chains, causing the bench to fall apart. "Better me than you."
Outside, Ahsoka was looking everywhere. She flew around in the Twilight, searching for Robin. She looked out as her Arm-Mounted Crossbows in Probe Mode flew out as well before she pulled up a hologram of Batman.
"What is it, Ahsoka?" Batman asked. "Is this about Darth Maul and the Legion of Doom? If so, we've been keeping an eye on the associates of the DarkSiders we have here."
"It's not that, Batman," Ahsoka said. "Robin and I were getting information on Maul's newest Ship, the Ruination, massive, and the Legion…" she started out. "They took him. I'm sorry, but Thawne and Zod were everywhere."
"You did your best, Ahsoka," Batman said. "I've taught Robin how to survive on his own. If anyone can escape, he can."
"I'm going to get him back," Ahsoka said. "I promise. Dick will return," she promised. "Which brings me to another matter."
"Yes?" Batman asked.
"I realize we're in the middle of a War, but a lot of the Young Justice has been missing their families," Ahsoka said. "If it's okay with you, I would like to send some of them back for the upcoming Holidays, early or not, to spend time with them. Paula and J'onn are already here, but maybe you'd like to spend some time with Robin… and the rest of your family."
Batman nodded. "I appreciate this, Ahsoka," he said. "You are approved for sending the Young Justice back."
"Thank you, Batman," Ahsoka said. "I won't lose Robin. You'll have him back."
"Wow…" Jane said as Robin started to put the bench up on its side. "Who wouldn't hear that?"
"Just trust me, we need to work together," Robin said as he removed his cape. He folded it up into a rope before tossing it to Jane. "Tie this on your cell wall," he said. "And after you do, step back."
"Um… okay," Jane said before she tied the makeshift rope to her cell wall. "What are you going to do?"
"Sometimes you have to be crazy to burn bright," Robin said. "Timber!"
Jane stepped back as Robin stepped to the side. The bench fell down, ripping off the cell wall of Jane's cell and knocking down Robin's own cell wall, giving them an opening.
"Way to go, Robbie," Jane said. "I guess you know what you're doing… but there's no way the guards ignored that."
"Hurry! This way!" a voice called out.
"Hide, and hold this!" Robin ordered, handing Jane one of the bars from the cell wall.
Robin and Jane hid as a Death Watch Devil ran over. He aimed his blaster around, looking to see what had caused the noise. He walked over to the destroyed cell.
"What's this?" the Death Watch Devil asked.
At that moment, Robin leapt on top of the Death Watch Devil, punching him repeatedly in the head. The Death Watch Devil punched back at Robin, but he succeeded in removing his helmet.
"Any last words?" the Death Watch Devil asked.
Robin grinned. "Now."
Jane came out from behind the Death Watch Devil, slamming the bar onto his head. He groaned and fell to the ground as Robin came over.
"Nice hit." Robin complimented.
"Thanks." Jane said as she lifted her bar up. She and Robin looked to it for a few seconds before looking back with their eyes wide. It was no longer straight, it had the outline of the Death Watch Devil's head. The two looked to each other with mild confusion afterward before they went to take the unconscious Death Watch Devil's body away.
Meanwhile, Ahsoka was looking around for Robin outside. She knocked aside one of the captured Kotaska Gangsters and aimed her lightsaber at him.
"Where is my friend?" Ahsoka asked. "Where is Robin?"
"You won't get anything out of me, Jedi Scum!" the Kotaska gangster remarked. "And there is nothing you can do to make me say otherwise."
The last word was spat at Ahsoka, hitting her in the eye. She glared at the Kotaska Gangster for a moment.
Later, Ahsoka was dangling the Kotaska Gangster over the edge of the Docks, with Aulzgud watching in surprise. The Kotaska Gangster wailed in the most high-pitched tone ever heard.
"Are you crazy?!" the Kotaska Gangster exclaimed. "Are you even a real Jedi?!"
"Better hurry and talk," Ahsoka said. "My hand is starting to get tired."
"You're bluffing!" the Kotaska Gangster yelled, only for Ahsoka to yawn and loosen her grip a little, causing him to shriek like a girl.
"No, seriously, I've been in a fight for a long time, and I haven't had any rest," Ahsoka said. "Tell me what I want to know, and I won't drop you… probably."
"Shed 17! That's all I know!" the Kotaska yelled. "Please! I've just started my job! I can't lose this and go back to labor! I can't!"
"Good answer," Ahsoka said before she lifted up the Kotaska Gangster. "Now… tell me about your partnership with the Shadow Collective before I strap you to my Ship."
At this time, Robin was walking with Jane through the halls. Jane was now armed with the Death Watch Devil's Blaster while Robin held two cell bars in his hands. He also had the jetpack of the Death Watch Devil on his back, as well as his grenades in what was left of his cape, held as a makeshift bag.
"He had another blaster," Jane said. "Why didn't you take it? You a pacifist or something?"
"My mentor's parents were killed by a gun," Robin explained. "I vowed to never use one. It would drive me on the same path as the guy who killed my Parents."
"Well, at least you have families," Jane said. "I heard that you live in a mansion. That true?"
"Well… yes…" Robin replied.
"I hate you," Jane said. "My family's probably the poorest on the Planet. I want to live the life of the rich. I want to see the Galaxy. I want to kill all Slavers, clone them, and kill them again," she said, causing Robin's eyes to go wide. "Or clone them and kill them over and over again. Whichever one I like best."
"That sounds like overkill," Robin said. "Listen, not all rich people live a happy life. It might seem easy, but there's more to being rich than just money. You have to work smarter, not harder."
"As in, not have to work at all to live in a mansion?" Jane asked.
Robin snarled and slammed Jane against a wall.
"I lost my family to a murderer!" Robin exclaimed. "Batman took me in because he knew what it was like to lose a family! He may be the rich one… but I still live life like a normal kid," he said before calming himself down. "Besides, at least you still have a family. I can't even see my new one because me and the Young Justice have to fight the War."
Jane sighed. "I'm sorry," she said. "I had no idea."
"Well, now you do," Robin said. "Hope you're happy."
"I just… I just want my family to be happy, to live a good life," Jane said. "I run away a lot, but I'd never forget them. We're lucky to have a home. My Parents can't keep up the bills, and their jobs? Not doing so hot."
"I never forget my parents either," Robin said before he and Jane turned a corner. "This is it. My weapons are just down there. We just need to make it through and try not to sound off any alarms."
"Hold on," Jane said as she felt her head. "The Comms I stole… I'm getting an incoming signal."
"Can they hear us?" Robin asked.
"No," Jane replied. "But… I'm getting something."
"Tiber, this is Darth Maul," Darth Maul's voice said. "I will arrive in roughly three hours. I had better see you making some progress… or else."
"Maul's gonna be here in three hours," Jane said. "We don't stand a chance against him."
"If we can get my gear, we can put up a fight until we reach reinforcements," Robin said. "But I also need to find the schematics for Maul's newest Warship."
"Two for one deal," Jane said. "Everything they've confiscated from the prisoners, weapons, Comms, you name it, are held in the control room. If we get there, you can also get the schematics."
"And it could give us a chance to deal a crippling blow to the Legion of Doom too!" Robin added on. "But we need to send out a message to the Shadow Collective that we mean business, which means not just defeating Maul."
"We can think of how to do it on the way," Jane said. "Come on!"
Meanwhile, Ahsoka was walking with Aulzgud. They passed several sheds until they found Shed 17.
"I've heard a lot of twisted deals go on here," Aulzgud said as she readied her blaster. "They don't allow kids to come in here, and with a good reason. Blood is involved with how the Kotaska work."
"They hurt Robin, they'll answer to me," Ahsoka said. She lifted up her arm with her Arm-Mounted Crossbow Gauntlet and pressed it, bringing up Batman. "We've almost found him."
"Good. Thank you," Batman said. "Tell him that I look forward to seeing him again when you get him."
"I will, Batman," Ahsoka replied. "The legion and the Kotaska will pay for taking him."
Meanwhile, Robin and Jane were running through the halls of Shed 17. They dodged all of the Death Watch Devils and Kotaska Gangsters, managing to avoid being caught by them. However, as they turned another corner, they stepped through a laser.
At that moment, the alarms started to sound off.
"What was that?" Tiber Saxon asked. He pressed a button on the console. "Guards, report! What is happening!"
"Robin and that girl have escaped!" a Kotaska gangster called out from the cell blocks. "They broke out!"
"What?!" Tiber yelled. He growled and slammed his fist onto the table. "Find them! Don't let them get away!"
"They'll be going after the data for the Ruination," Eobard Thawne said. "They get their hands on that, they'll find a weakness in our new Warship."
"Well, what are you waiting around for? An invitation?!" Tiber yelled as General Zod walked up to him. "Get to work Ri—"
Before Tiber Saxon could finish, General Zod grabbed him by the neck.
"We may work for Maul, but we are not your Troopers," General Zod said. "Do not make the mistake of ordering us around again."
"I'd listen to him, Tiber," Eobard said. "You are not Gar Saxon, nor will you ever be in control of us," he scolded before turning to General Zod. "You can let him go now."
General Zod dropped Tiber Saxon, who gasped for breath the minute he fell to the floor.
"My apologies," Tiber Saxon said as he picked up his blaster. "Let's go."
Robin ran ahead of Jane, tossed a piece of sharp metal towards several Kotaska Gangsters. They all yelled as their necks were hit before Jane blasted several Death Watch Devils away. More Death Watch Devils flew over, firing rockets from their jetpacks towards the two.
"Take cover!" Robin called out as he took out a grenade. He clicked it and tossed it towards the Death Watch Devils. As soon as the flames from one of their jetpacks hit it, it exploded, killing them on sight.
"How far away are we from the Control Room?" Robin asked as he turned back to Jane.
"Just up ahead!" Jane called out. "Let's go!"
Robin followed Jane as she shot at more incoming Kotaska Gangsters and Death Watch Devils. The two ran towards the door and leapt into the air. They outstretched their legs and prepared to kick it down.
Meanwhile, from the outside, Ahsoka slashed at the door two times. With it weakened enough, she sent a Force-Push at it, causing it to give in.
"Jedi!" a Death Watch Devil exclaimed.
"Take them!" Ahsoka ordered as Aulzgud and other Silurian Traders came in, firing at the Death Watch Devils. She spun around her lightsaber and ran at the Death Watch Devils, deflecting their blasts before disarming them of their weapons. She spun around to avoid getting shot before activating the Arm-Mounted Crossbow Gauntlet on her left hand, shooting back at the Death Watch Devils before running forward as several Kotaska Gangsters charged towards her.
Several other Silurian Traders took out swords, deflecting blasts coming from the rest of the Death Watch Devils and the Kotaska Gangsters. One of the Silurian Traders leapt onto a member of the Kotaska and stabbed his sword into him. As soon as he pulled his sword out, the Kotaska Gangster fell to the ground, lifeless.
"Sir! We have more intruders at the front!" one of the Death Watch Devils reported to Tiber Saxon as he, the Reverse-Flash and General Zod were making their way towards the Control Room.
"The Young Justice?" Tiber Saxon asked.
"Ahsoka Tano… and the Silurian Trade Organization!" the same Death Watch Devil called out. "They're cutting through our defenses! They're almost near the… Augh!" he called out before the line went static.
"I've got them," Eobard Thawne said as he placed his mask over his face. He started to vibrate himself, gaining his red eyes. "Take care of the kids." He ordered before racing off.
Immediately, Tiber Saxon spat out some water he was drinking from earlier. "I hate it when he does that," he said before looking to General Zod, who gave an iffy agreeing nod. "Come on!" he called out as he and Zod started to now run towards the Control Room.
Ahsoka continued to cut through the Death Watch Devils and the Kotaska Gangsters alike. She leapt onto some crates and shot a Death Watch Devil and a Kotaska Gangster away before spin-jumping down, just in time to see two of the masked Kotaska Gangsters brink Vibro-Blades down onto her. She held up her lightsaber and blocked the attacks before shooting them in the chest with her Arm-Mounted Crossbow Gauntlet.
"Round Two, Tano," the Reverse-Flash's voice said, getting Ahsoka's attention as some blood from a fallen Death Watch Devil floated into the air. "Try and catch me."
"If it isn't the Thawne in my side," Ahsoka quipped. She activated the blades on her Arm-Mounted Crossbow Gauntlets before twirling around her lightsaber, putting it into a reverse Shien Grip. "Let's dance."
Meanwhile, Robin and Jane had already broken into the Control Room. Two Death Watch Devils noticed them and activated the self-automated turrets, only for Jane to shoot them to pieces. Three Kotaska Gangsters charged towards Robin, but he knocked them all out with his bars. As soon as they were out, Jane aimed her blaster at least the two remaining Death Watch Devils.
"Drop your weapons, and get out." Jane demanded.
"Not to you, girl." One of the Death Watch Devils remarked.
The two Death Watch Devils were about to shoot Jane, but Robin had already regained his utility belt. He took out two birdarangs and tossed them at the Death Watch Devils, one to disarm them and the other to explode. They were thrown back as Jane caught one of the fallen blasters, aiming them at the two Troopers.
One of the Death Watch Devils tried to sound the alarm, but Robin slammed his staff onto his hand.
"Don't." Robin said dangerously.
"I'm not just a normal girl," Jane said. "You raise your hand to shoot me again, and I will see to it that it gets cut off, and every nerve from the remaining limb so broken that no prosthetic replacement will heal you," she said dangerously. "Now… get out."
The two Death Watch Devils got up and ran out as Jane continued to aim her blasters at them.
"Nice one." Robin complimented.
"Thanks. I've been working on that," Jane replied. "Though I'm gonna have to work it out, because that sounded so awkward."
"Well, I got my stuff back," Robin said before making his way to the data terminal. "I'll find the data on the Ruination, and we can be out of here," he said as he typed away. "You know, we could use someone like you on the Young Justice. It could give you an excuse to get off this Planet."
"A pass off the Planet? A chance to see some green?!" Jane exclaimed with excitement. She sighed happily as she looked up, thinking about what she would do with the Young Justice, from defeating the Legion of Doom to taking on the Separatists at the heart. However, as she thought about all that, she suddenly found herself thinking about her parents, and all they did to help her get so far in her life. "But… my family," she said. "I can't just… I can't just leave them behind."
"I'm not saying you have to make your choice now," Robin said. "We're not rushing you, you can make any choice you want to make."
Jane nodded. "Thanks," she said. "You're a good guy."
Robin nodded before the terminal beeped. "Got the Ruination Schematics," he said, plugging in a futuristic USB Drive. "Just gotta wait for the download to be complete. Then we can leave."
"Good," Jane said. She thought some more to herself before she turned back to Robin. "By the way, what's your real name?" She asked. "You can't really be named Robin."
Robin raised an eyebrow. "Why do you ask?" He questioned.
"Well, we've gotten so far, and if the Shadow Collective kills us here, I want to remember the person who helped me accomplish this," Jane said. "I'll tell you my real name in return, promise."
Robin chuckled. "Fair enough," he said. "It's Dick," he answered, getting a small chuckle out from Jane Doe for inappropriately humorous his nickname was. "Dick Grayson."
"Well, Dick," Jane said. "My name's R—"
Before Jane could reveal her name, the sound of the Darksaber caught their attention. She and Robin turned around to see Tiber Saxon walking into the room, followed by General Zod.
"Zod," Robin said as he walked towards Jane, who aimed her blasters at Tiber Saxon and General Zod. "How was the Phantom Zone? I heard it gets great reviews this time around."
"Would you like to prove that?" General Zod asked.
"You must be Robin," Tiber Saxon said. "I never did get to introduce myself. I am with Clan Saxon, name Tiber Saxon."
"Gar's Brother, I assume," Robin said. "Guess the mole runs in the family."
"Step away from the terminal, and we will let you live," General Zod ordered as Tiber Saxon felt his forehead and cheek after Robin made his remark. "I'm trying very hard not to start a life of killing children."
"Oh, and you actually expect us to believe that?" Jane asked.
"No," General Zod replied. "Just wanted to see if you would fall for it."
Robin narrowed his eyes at General Zod before taking out a piece of Kryptonite, holding it right in front of Zod's face. General Zod groaned a little and started to fall to his knees, but it was suddenly shot out of his hands.
"We warned you," Tiber Saxon said as he aimed his smoking blaster at Robin. He turned and shot at the piece of Kryptonite, destroying it. "Guess surprises run in the family too."
Jane shot at Tiber, who rolled to the side and shot back.
"Hope you have another stone like that." Jane said.
"Yeah, it's back with my friends!" Robin exclaimed before seeing General Zod get back up. "He's weakened for now. Think you can handle Tiber?"
Tiber Saxon got back up, unsheathing the Darksaber and activating its black blade again.
"You know it." Jane said before running at Tiber, shooting at him.
Robin grinned and ran at General Zod, jumping into the air and kicking him back.
At this time, Ahsoka and the Reverse-Flash were speed-battling each other. While Aulzgud and the Silurian Traders continued to shoot down the Death Watch Devils and the Kotaska Gangsters, Ahsoka ran, catching up to the Reverse-Flash. She slashed at him with both of her arm blades and lightsaber while Eobard Thawne speedily avoided every attack. He eventually punched her away, but she sheathed her right blade and shot at him with her Arm-Mounted Crossbow Gauntlet, temporarily stunning him. As Ahsoka got back onto the ground, the Reverse-Flash ran at her, only for her to swing her left blade at him. He managed to phase through it, but as he came out, time began to resume, and Ahsoka kicked him into some crates.
"I should have known you would phase through that," Ahsoka remarked. "That's why I coated my sword in nanotechnology. When you phased through it, you were got cut off from the Speed Force. Now, were equally matched."
"Don't count on it, Tano." The Reverse-Flash remarked. He picked up a fallen blaster and shot at Ahsoka, but she deflected it with her lightsaber before running at him, shooting with her left Arm-Mounted Crossbow Gauntlet.
Thawne easily dodged the blasts, both deflected back at him and from Ahsoka herself. He walked up to Ahsoka and sent a punch at her, but she cartwheeled to the side and slashed at him. Eobard performed a leg sweep at her, causing her to fall.
"That all you got?" Ahsoka asked before taking out the Xiphon. She spun back up onto her feet and twirled at him with both of her lightsabers, causing him to back away from her. He managed to avoid every blade, but failed to see her kick him in the chest, sending him into the air. However, his eyes glowed red again, and he zoomed back down to the ground.
Meanwhile, Jane was shooting away at Tiber Saxon. He shot back at her, but from time to time, he deflected her shots with the Darksaber. Jane advanced at him, her blasts becoming stronger as he was pushed back. He managed to slash down on her a few times, causing her to roll away. She aimed one of her blasters at him, but he cut it apart before she slammed the barrel of her remaining blaster at him.
Robin sent several punches towards General Zod, each getting blocked every time as Zod managed to counter him, eventually punching him away. Robin pulled his fists back and kicked him, causing him to fall to the ground. The Boy Wonder grinned and leapt into the air to punch him, but General Zod suddenly regained his strength and tossed him away to the side.
"Batman once tried to fight me, but he only won with Kryptonite on his side," General Zod said as he came closer to Robin. He picked the Boy Wonder up by the head. "How do you expect to beat me? Not even Superboy, Supergirl and Ahsoka Tano could take me down."
Robin tried to release himself from General Zod's grasp before remembering what Ahsoka handed him earlier. He reached into his belt and pulled out the hilt, aiming it at Zod's face.
"Go ahead," General Zod said after recovering from some shock. "I dare you. Be a man."
Robin continued to struggle to get loose. However, instead of using his hand to free himself, he grabbed the hilt and activated it on Zod's hand. General Zod yelled in pain as he felt the burn of the lightsaber blade on his arm. He looked to it, seeing it was still there, but could actually see a bloodied cut on it.
"Not there yet, but I'm close," Robin quipped. "Sorry to disappoint."
General Zod yelled and ran at Robin, who held out his emerald blade. Before Zod could reach him, he fell to the ground in pain.
"Zod!" Tiber Saxon called out, giving Jane enough time to use a broken piece of glass to stab him in the shoulder.
"It's a Kryptonite Crystal!" Robin exclaimed. He continued to advance at General Zod before cutting a hole beneath him, causing him to fall in. Everyone looked and listened as General Zod dropped to the ground below. "What a hole!" he exclaimed before looking to Jane. "Jane! Here!" he called out.
Jane caught the lightsaber and slashed at Tiber Saxon, who blocked the attack with the Darksaber. He attempted to shoot at her, but Robin tossed a Birdarang at his hand, causing him to lose his blaster, as well as a detonator. Saxon growled and turned back to Jane as she slashed him back before she tossed the lightsaber back to Robin, who slashed him in the jetpack. It exploded soon afterwards, causing him to stumble into the same hole General Zod fell into.
"OOHHHHHHHHHH…" Robin and Jane said at once, looking at how deep the hole was.
"First time cutting a hole, and I may have just killed two people." Robin mused.
"Yeah…" Jane said.
All of a sudden, a light on the monitor started to beep. Robin and Jane turned around to see what was going on before a screen appeared, showing the Scimitar arrive.
"Maul's here," Robin said. "We need to make our move on him… now!"
"How are you still alive after facing him so many times?" Jane asked. "That's Darth frickin' Maul! He has killed millions! Do you not realize what he does is in his name?"
"Well, unless you have a way to do a number on him without fighting him head-on, I'm happy to hear it." Robin said.
Jane started to think. She looked around before seeing the detonator. "Actually…" she said. "I have an idea."
Meanwhile, Ahsoka fired everywhere with Aulzgud and the Silurian Traders as the Reverse-Flash raced around once again. Ahsoka looked around before closing her eyes.
"You're not connected to the Speed Force, nor can the Force allow you to move at my speed for so long," the Reverse-Flash said as he knocked aside several of the Silurians aside like ragdolls. "You couldn't defeat us on Sarrish, and you can't defeat me now."
"We'll see about that." Ahsoka said. She looked to a mirror on the side and shot at it with her Arm-Mounted Crossbow Gauntlet, causing it to shatter. She shot a targeting laser at it, giving away Thawne's position, blinding him as well.
Ahsoka stabbed down with her lightsaber before slashing upwards. She slashed down again before spinning around and slashing forward her SokaTan Trinity Strike, sending the Reverse-Flash flying backwards.
"Well-played," Eobard Thawne said before the sound of the engines of the Scimitar roared through the air. "But another time, Ahsoka Tano." He said before racing off.
"We have to find Robin now," Ahsoka said to Aulzgud and the Silurian Traders. "Before Maul gets here, let's go!"
The Scimitar landed, and the Reverse-Flash arrived, bringing General Zod and Tiber Saxon with him.
From a distance away, Jane watched as the landing platform came down, followed by the door of the Scimitar opening up. Robin suddenly appeared next to her.
"Everything set?" Jane asked.
"Just give the word," Robin said. "Because after this… we are so gonna be in trouble."
Ahsoka ran into the room. She was about to attack until she saw Darth Maul come out from the Scimitar. He looked around with a stern look on his face before turning to Tiber, Thawne and Zod.
"Lord Maul," Tiber Saxon said as he walked forward. "I can explain this disturbance you must be feeling right now."
"I expected the Young Justice to be here," Darth Maul said as Ahsoka prepared to fire, only to see Robin and Jane. "What has happened?"
"Nothing I can't handle, Lord Maul," Tiber said. "Everything is under control."
At that moment, Robin and Jane activated their detonators.
"Boom."
As if on cue, explosions went off around the room. Tiber looked around as Eobard and Zod ran into the ship. He suddenly saw something beeping near Darth Maul and gasped as he immediately ran towards him.
"Lord Maul, look out!" Tiber called out.
"What?" Maul asked.
Tiber shoved Maul away just as one of the explosives went off. However, the two were thrown back into Gar Saxon, waiting for them. He gasped in horror upon seeing the explosions go off before Tiber ran to his Brother.
"What happened?" Gar Saxon asked.
"I don't know," Tiber asked. "I just managed to get Lord Maul away."
All of a sudden, Darth Maul and Gar Saxon were hit by another explosive while Tiber hit his head on the ceiling, causing all three of them to fall unconscious. General Zod immediately ran to their aid as Lady Shiva ran and picked up Darth Maul, cradling his body in her arms.
"He's alive," Lady Shiva said. "But we need to get him back to the Ruination, now!"
"Rook, get us out of here!" Thawne ordered.
Rook Kast took the Scimitar out of Shed 17 as it exploded.
"We need to go, now!" Robin called out as he and Jane ran out. The two suddenly saw Ahsoka. "Hi!" he called out.
"You got some 'splainin to do!" Ahsoka called out as she ran after Robin and Jane.
"Come on!" Jane called out to the Silurians. "This place is going down!"
The Kotaska were already leaving the Warehouse as Ahsoka, Robin, Jane, Aulzgud and the Silurians left Shed 17, just in time, as it burned to the ground.
Everyone panted before they turned around to see the remains of Shed 17. When the smoke from the fire cleared, at least ten members of the Kotaska were left standing. They all looked around before nine of them fainted, leaving one standing.
"I'm okay!" the Kotaska member exclaimed, only for a piece of debris to knock him into the next warehouse. "Still okay!"
Ahsoka snickered, as did Robin. Even Aulzgud tried to keep herself from laughing before Jane finally cracked up. After she did, everyone else laughed as well.
"What did I say?" the same Kotaska Gangster asked before one of the support structures fell onto him. "Ow! Who puts lava in these things?!" he yelled before screaming in agony.
"You need a new warehouse?" Robin asked.
"No, that's okay," Aulzgud said. "No one likes Shed 17 anyway."
Later on, Robin and Jane were showing Ahsoka the schematics of the Ruination to the Young Justice via holo-transmission. Anakin placed his hand on his chin as he looked to it.
"This was all we could find on the Ruination," Robin explained. "I was lucky enough that this Base had the data we needed."
"Plus, Robin and I did a number on Maul," Jane said as she typed on Robin's hologlove, showing the explosions that took down Maul, Gar Saxon and Tiber Saxon. "You just need to make sure the whole Galaxy sees this. It will give them a reason to stand up against the Legion of Doom."
"This is very good," Aqualad said. "I'm glad you were able to get this."
"I'm glad you're okay," Zatanna said to Robin. "Hope to see you back with us soon."
"Actually, I was thinking you could rendezvous with me here," Ahsoka said. "There's something I want to tell you all… in person."
"We'll be there," Anakin said. "Sit tight, Ahsoka. May the Force be with you."
Ahsoka nodded. "May the Force be with you too." She said.
The Young Justice and Anakin signed off. As soon as they did, Jane looked outside, seeing that the sun was starting to fall again.
"Never thought I'd ever see a sunset look so fine," Jane said. "Boy, this will be an adventure my Parents will love."
"So you're not gonna join us, huh?" Robin asked.
"I love this thrill. Really, I do," Jane said. "But it was my family who helped me to come this far. I'll be sure to remember this adventure, but until the time comes, I'll find a way to get off this Rock on my own."
"Thank you," Ahsoka said. "What's your name?"
"I've been calling her Jane Doe because she didn't want to reveal it when I met her." Robin said.
"Well, I think you've earned my trust," Jane said. "My name is Rae. Rae Sloane."
"It was an honor to work with you, Rae." Robin said.
Rae smiled.
"Robin, that reminds me," Ahsoka said. "I think you should go to Earth to spend an early Thanksgiving with Batman. I've taken your words to heart, and I say you and the rest of the Young Justice have earned chances to be with your Families anytime you feel like it."
"Really?!" Robin exclaimed. He hugged Ahsoka immediately. "Thanks! I don't know how to repay you."
"I think I know how I can repay you," Rae said to Robin. "I know you have a family on Earth, but after all that we've been through today… I request… no, I demand, that you join me and my family for dinner," she said, causing Ahsoka and Robin to look to each other with surprise. "Don't expect a full luxurious meal, we're a poor family… but at least join me, so I can remember one of the few friends I now have."
Robin stepped up. "I wouldn't miss it for the World." He said.
Rae smiled and hugged Robin, who hugged her back.
"Well, the Young Justice won't be here for a while…" Ahsoka said as she checked her watch. "I'm sure we can stay for dinner."
"And you don't have to worry about being poor for long," Robin said. "I don't want you to take offense at this… but what if I were to say… I could talk to the Chancellor about giving you a few Credits to last for, say, ten years?"
"I'd say you're my friends," Rae said as Ahsoka smiled. "Now, come on. We can still hit the market and get home in time for dinner."
Meanwhile, on the Ruination over Mustafar, as several supply ships were flying in, the Legion of Doom waited for C-3PX to come out of the medical bay. When he did, Harley Quinn was the first to walk up.
"How are they?" Harley asked.
"They're fine, but they'll be in a coma for at least two weeks," C-3PX said. "Before I induced it onto Lord Maul, he told me to hand command…" he started out before Lady Shiva walked behind him. "To Lady Shiva."
Lady Shiva grinned. "Let's get to work."
