I own nothing except a few characters and the plot.
STAR WARS REBELS
The New Spectres
Black Sun Strikes Back Part 1
NEW YORK
"What do we have?" Jamal asked the uniformed officer at the scene.
"Looks like a kidnap murder. Witnesses say one guy was snatched out of the car by a group of nonhumans and put up a fight. This one also in the car was shot, but CSU doesn't know with what." Jamal looked at the body of a human male.
"Laser burns. This isn't the work of a local crew. Excuse me." He checked the nearby car that had been ripped apart and found something that he was hoping not to find..
"Crap. Spectre Eight to The Office," He said into his comlink.
"Spectre Nine at The Office." Landon replied.
"Landon, tell General Felth we may have Black Sun agents in town and they appear to have a hostage."
"Will do." Jamal looked at the scene again then went for his comlink again.
"Spectre Eight to Spectres Two, Five, Six, and Seven. Black Sun agents may be in the city."
"Spectre Two received. I'll pass it along to Kallus and Zeb." Hera replied.
"Spectre Five copies." Sabine said.
"Spectre Six checking in." Ezra said.
"Spectre Seven got it." Jacen added. That relieved most of Jamal's worry about the other Spectres who were out and about in the city since he knew Black Sun's agents would have to be extremely stupid to try and snatch Josh and Lucy out from a place crawling with Stormtroopers.
Tevin stopped by Michael's office to let him know what Jamal had found.
"Black Sun's in town. I already know. Doyle told me as soon as Wilkins told him. They're not getting far. Kelsey's already working with the security footage and all ships in the area are being checked out." Michael said.
"I'll have the probe droids go out too. Check warehouses and get them checking roach motels. And I'll smack Max in advance for you since I know he will program those droids the same way Tommy Lee Jones' character in The Fugitive would have."
"We know they might have an interest in the Spectres although it was Wanda who ordered Grinta the Hutt killed and Boba Fett did that job. Do we know of anyone from the Onyxian Government that was removed from power that would be mixed up with them? I want a Death Trooper detail put on Wanda and tell the Navy to begin deployment of the Defenders. I want the first squadron placed under the command of General Syndulla since she and Ezra are the only ones I can think of who have had experience with these things in the past."
"I doubt they got a message out since I destroyed their communications equipment when I took out their meager defenses. Our jamming system is still in place over Nal Hutta and given that both The Hutts and Black Sun have ordered hits on government and religious leaders in the past, it wasn't hard to get FISA Warrants so we could turn listening ships loose on them."
LOTHAL
"Attention passengers, this is your Captain speaking.. I'd like to welcome you all aboard the continuation of American Starways Flight 434, From Corellia to New York via Lothal, Mykapo, and Berlin. Our travel time to Mykapo will be about six hours and then about another 12 hours for those continuing on to Earth depending on if you're traveling to Berlin or New York. Passengers traveling to Earth are reminded to have their travel documents ready for inspection upon arrival." A voice came over the PA system on the passenger liner as a pair of seedy looking characters one a Rodian and the other a Trandoshan took their seats in the rear of the ship. A group of Israeli soldiers boarded the ship and took seats near the front as the door closed. The Rodian shrunk in his seat as the ship lifted off Once the ship reached cruising speed and the crew announced that restraints could be removed, the two made their way to the front and grabbed a crew member telling her quietly that this was a hijack and to take them to the Captain. As the two dealt with the flight attendant, they failed to notice the Israeli soldiers rising from their seats and readying their weapons.
"Open this door or we will blow the ship up." The Trandoshan shouted at the cockpit door.
"Don't move." One of the Israelis said to the Rodian. The Trandoshan turned when he heard some commotion and was greeted by a fist to the snout. Both hijackers were secured as the ship's pilot came out to see what was going on.
"This is why El Al has only been hijacked once." He said then turned to the flight attendant.
"Have the passengers prepare for the drop from hyperspace. We're going back to Lothal and turning them over to the authorities there. The Americans have the death penalty for hijacking." He said and went back to the cockpit.
NEW YORK
A group of TIE Defenders flew over Floyd Bennett Field and landed in the area indicated for them to land. Hera climbed out of one of the fighters and walked over to where Tevin was standing.
"How is it?" He asked her.
"Handles quite well, for an Imperial design. But, what was Thrawn's real reason for designing these things?" She said as a Stormtrooper ran over to them.
"Sirs, Governor Kell just reported that ASW Flight 434 had an attempted hijacking put down by some Israeli troops that were on board and that the hijackers are in custody. They're a pair of Black Sun agents." Tevin sighed.
"First a kidnap murder, now a hijacking attempt. Corporal, pass this message along to Myers and Houston. Also, tell Governor Kell I'll conference with him in about two hours." He said.
"Yes, Sir." The trooper said and left to carry out Tevin's orders.
"Jacen got in touch with Kallus on Garel. He and Zeb turned tables on a Black Sun agent who was following them around. They're bringing him to Lothal." Hera told Tevin.
"I guess Zeb and Kallus will be handling the prisoner transfer or catching a ride with them. Sucks for Black Sun that Mossad is like two steps ahead of them."
"It makes no sense. Why would they snatch a random person off the street?" Tommy Doyle said as he looked over the report Jamal had given him.
"I guess they're doing a test run before they make another attempt on Bridger given how poorly the last time went." Jamal said.
"They lost their safe haven planet after that. No doubt Felth is having all ships entering or leaving the planet checked." Nick Franklin added.
"Did anything come up on that van they used?"
"A rental, agency said someone came in, asked for it, paid cash, and insisted on no names."
"They were here long enough to exchange currency. Those places have cameras, start near where the van was rented from." Another detective came in and handed Tommy a note.
"What?" Jamal asked.
"Israel has three Black Sun agents in custody. Two tried to hijack ASW Flight 434 out of Lothal and a third was found on Garel trying to stalk Orrelios and Kallus. They're bringing them here and handing them over to the Remnant." Tommy's desk phone rang.
"Doyle. Hey Boss. I'll tell him." He turned to Jamal.
"General Syndula wants all the Spectres at The Office and I do not know why. Nick, stay here in case something breaks. I want to bring them up to speed on this case."
Ezra, Sabine, and Chopper left the school and got in Ezra's car.
"Spectre Two to Spectre Six." Hera's voice came over Ezra's comlink.
"Spectre Six here."
"We're bringing all the Spectres to The Office. Better safe then sorry. They tried going after Zeb and Kallus on Garel and hijacking a passenger ship. Israel is bringing the agents here."
"We're on our way there anyway." Sabine said.
"Good." Hera replied. Ezra turned to Chopper.
"Keep watch for unmarked white vans that follow us around. Jamal said they already snatched one person off the street and Landon showed me about a dozen different routes around the city to shake anyone trying to follow." Chopper gave a reply as Sabine checked her weapons.
"I took my bag of detonators out of my car and put it in your backseat. I can blow anyone trying to follow us into pieces."
"Jamal sent me the plate number of the van they're looking for in case they start looking for us. He said he thinks they did a dry run of how they plan to grab us. Except they forgot about Chopper and they think one of us is still at the school." Ezra said.
"They also forgot that I'm armed to the teeth as a cultural tradition." Sabine added.
