Chapter 25: Rai meet the Chain Dragon
Rai and aang were still running from the Republic and they came to the lower city of Courscant. They both saw a couple of guards walking around with a wanted paper of rai and aang. Rai saw a couple of people looking at them and they smiled at them. A female Twi'lek came up to them and she had two dark cloaks for them to wear. Rai bow to her and then he gave her some credits and he took the cloaks. "So, what should we do now rai?" "We find a safe place to hide and we open a portal to tatoonie. Then we tell Ling what has happen amd we plan our next move before they find us," He said as aang saw that wanted posters of him and rai and he saw the prince on their heads. "Rai, I think we need to go before someone noticed us and decided to turn us in." He said as rai just thought up something and he knew someone wouldn't ressist money. Then they head for a train to get the guards that was at the train satition. They was safe for a moment and rai looked to his right then he saw couple of more guards on the train. "Dammit don't these guiys give up." He whisper as the guard ask everyone for their ticket to find someone that don't have a ticket. Rai and aang walked to the next cart but when the door, he saw a guard standing in front of him. "It's the Jedi runaway! Get them!" He said as rai punched him in the face and aang use the bar to kick some of the guards to the floor. Rai knew that the train was getting crowded and he open the door, but aang notice that he was going to jump off of a moving train and he did. Then aang follow after him to get away from the guards and the slided to stopped themselves but they startled a citzen and she was pissed at them. They put their hood back on their heads and they started walking again but one of the guards saw them. "There they are. Stop them!" He said as they started to shoot at them but rai saw a elevator and he signal aang to go to the elevator.
Aang nodded his head and he headed towards the elevator while rai cover him by blocking every laser that was coming towards and rai went to the elevator to avoid being shot at but one of the guards miss him and he end up shooting the panel that control the elevator. "That does not looked good at all." Aang said as the elevator went down as fast it went and rai notice that there was a child in there with them. "Just hold to something we will get you out of here." He said as young twi'lek boy told them to try to press a button to stop the elevator but they didn't listen to him and rai suggested for aang to cut the ceiling. Rai put his hands together to lift aang up and aang position himself to hold on while he ignited his lightsaber to cut a hole on the ceiling. The boy started to move to the panel and he press one of buttons to stop the elevator which cause aang to fall on rai. He told them that it would work and they just smile at him. "Well, looks like we need to start listen to you for now on." Rai said as the twi'lek started to laugh and rai ignite his lightsaber to cut a hole in the door. Aang pick the boy up and he hold on to him while rai made one last turn with his lightsaber. Then rai Force pushed the door open and they flipped out of the elevator and they landed on their feet. Aang carry the boy back to his mother. "Thanks for the help little one. One day, you will become a Jedi Knight." He said as he patted the boy on his head and he walked out to catch up with rai. "No doubt that they alert the Jedi temple on our whereabouts." "Yeah, that mean we have no choice but to find a way off this planet." Aang said as rai sense someone was following them and he knew it was her. "You can come out Ventress. There no way you can get the drop on us." He said as Ventress dropped down from the pipe and she pull back the helmet. "How did you know that I was following you two?" She asked as rai just looked at her and he shooked his head.
"I knew that you wouldn't resist that amount of money on our heads and besides that the same outfit you wore on Dathomir." He said as she started to laugh and they walked for a little bit. "Are you going to fill me in on all of this. Why is the Republic putting bounty on your head?" She said as rai and aang started to tell her everything that they know and she was shocked that Jedi would tried to kill them. "Ling is not going to be happy when she hear about this. Rai, why are you mad when ahsoka decided to break up with you." I shut off my emotion to prevent going to the dark side." He said as Ventress notice his arm was bandage up and they need to get off of this planet. "I have a ship that will get you guys off world. We can take that ship a head to Tatoonie. There, you guys get your wound fix up and we plan our next move." She said as they nodded their heads and they headed to ventress' ship. Rai sense someone else was following them and rai looked around to see that one was there. He shook his head and went after them. Around the corner was chancellor palpatine's servant and he been watching them for a while now. He notice that they had ally themselves with a bounty hunter. He reach for his comlink to contact the chancellor about what he had found.
Meanwhile at the Jedi temple.
Ahsoka was in her room meditating and she remember what her heard about her being pregnant. She was happy at first but at the same she felt sad that rai won't be around to hear about this. Then rai's mother appeared next to her and she looked at ahsoka with a sad looked on her face. "Ahsoka, what have you done to my son? His father and I tried to contact him but he blocked us out of his mind." She said as ahsoka didn't looked at her and Sonya was waiting for her to answer. "Okay, I ended our relationship and I saw his eyes change to black." She said as Sonya gasped and she was pissed at ahsoka for making rai shut off his emotion which his emotions are conneted to his parents. "Do you realized what you have done? His emotions are connected to us and we help him through his tough times, but now that he shut them off; we can't contact him. I am so worry for my son and now that the Jedi are after him for a crime that he didn't commit." She said as she vanished and ahsoka felt bad for her that she can't contact rai. Ahsoka reach for her comlink to contact rai but all she heard was statics and she tried to contacted aang the same time happen to aang's comlink. Then she went to the Jedi counicl chamber to see if they have any clues on their where abouts and when she got to the chamber, she notice that they were already assigning Anakin and Shaak Ti to go and capture both rai and aang. "Ahsoka? What are you doing here?" Anakin asked as ahsoka looked at Shaak Ti with sad looked on her face. "Where you going master Ti?" "Anakin and I are going to the lower city to find rai and aang. Then bring them back but if they refuse to corperate then we will have no choice but to use force." She said as ahsoka looked at her master with anger look on her face and then she return back around to look at rai's former master. "I would like to accompany you and master Skywalker in this mission." She said as master Ti looked at her and Anakin knew that she was going with them. "Okay padawan Tano, you can come but you going to be the one to talked to them and if they descided to going with you; we don't have to use force on them." She said as they headed to the hanger with Rex and the of the clones.
Ahsoka was still thinking about what rai's mother told her about rai's emotion connected to her and his father. "I was a fold to end our relationship and now rai is suffering because of me. Don't worry Rai I will be there for you just like you did for me when I need you the most. I will have you and our baby next to me just like the dream I had when we slept together." She thought as they took the ship to the lower city. Anakin looked around to spot rai or aang from the air and Shaak Ti use her training to locate her lost Jedi knight. Ahsoka could only focus on the monitor to listen to the radio from the lower city and she was contacted by rai's father and his mother. They both looked at her with sad looks on their face and she was unease that she would get a visited from them. "Hello there young, I am Jedi master Kai Stone, father of Rai Stone and Son Donna Stone." He said as ahsoka felt honor to meet the father of her boyfriend. "I see that you're Ahsoka Tano, the woman that my son loved but now that you ended your relationship with him and he shut off his emotions from us." "I am so sorry that I ended this but he didn't leave no other choice but I will find him and bring back to the Jedi temple." "I'm afraid that going back to the temple will not help him now." "Why not? The Jedi council will forgive him." "You're not listening ahsoka, he is leaving the Jedi order for a good reason." Kai said as ahsoka was looking at him with serious looked on her face. "What reason is that? Leaving me behind to take care of our soon to be born child." She said as Rex and the others looked at her like she was crazy. "Who do you that commander Tano is talking to?" Rex whispered as Anakin was wondering the same thing himself. Shaak Ti was surprised that ahsoka know how to contact the dead and she closed her eyes to see that ahsoka was talking to Kai and Sonya. She walked next to ahsoka and she place her hand on her should just to see her the man that she love. When she open her eyes, she saw Kai standing in front of her and she saw that he wasn't alone. "I see that you haven't change one bit since the last time I saw you Shaak Ti." He said as Shaak had tears in her eyes when she heard his voice once again.
"I am so happy that I get to see you again my friend. I just wish I have told you about my feeling from the beginning and none of this would of never happen." She said as she started to tremble and Ahsoka watch as she started to cry. Kai shook his head and he walked up to her. He place his hand on her shoulder and he kiss her on her forehead. "You watched over rai for so long and I couldn't as for a better master than you Shaak Ti." He said as Sonya stand next to ahsoka and she was proud of Shaak Ti for taking care of their son. Ahsoka turn to face Sonya and she could tell that her future-mother-in-law was still upset that she can't contact rai. "Look, I know that you're worry about Rai and I am worry about him as well, but we need to try to have fate that we can find him." She said as Sonya looked at her and she knew that ahsoka still doesn't know nothing about her son and his intentions for her. "You still don't get it do you? Rai was going to spend the rest of his life with you and you throw it back at him like some disease." She said as ahsoka just looked at her liked she was clueless at what she said. "I not following you. What does that got to do with me?" "Dense as always, he was planning to propose to you before he left to start his padawan training." She said as ahsoka gasp when she heard that he was going to ask her to married him and now that she ended their relationship, she felt upset that she will never get that chance again. Rex and Anakin looked at the monitors when they get a message from chancellor palpatine. "What is it chancellor?" "Master Skywalker, it seem that my sources had contacted me on the whereabouts of Jedi masters Rai and Aang. They're heading to a ship satiation to leave the planet." "We are on our way Chancellor." He said as he went to the cockpit to tell the clones that he have the coordinates.
Meanwhile at the lower city.
Rai, Aang, and Ventress were still heading to Ventress' ship but they were cut off by the guards and they ran back to find another way to get to the ship. "This isn't good we need to get off this planet." Aang said as they saw that some more guards blocking their path and they backed up. They were surrounded and rai knew that he have no other choice but to fight for their life. "Ventress, look after aang for me." He said as she nodded her head and she pull Aang to the side while Rai stay in the middle with the guards. He ready his stances and he waited for one of the guards to make a move. He notice that one of them was trembling and he new that none of them have the guts to face him. Then suddenly one of the guards made the first move and he tried to punch Rai but Rai caught his fist and he throw across the street to land on the rest of the guards. "I believe that all of you need more training if you all want to face me." He said as he uses the Force to lift some of the objects to blocked them if they decided to go after them again. "That was amazing I never seen you fight like that before." Ventress said as Rai just walk off without saying anything and she just helped aang walk with Rai. "Hey aang, what's with Rai? He seem a little different." She said as Aang didn't know what she was talking about and he use his dragon powers to see through his body and he saw something that shot him out of Rai's body. Aang fell backwards and Ventress saw that he hit his head. "What happened?" "I saw something inside Rai that I haven't seen since Onaga lost his control over it. I am surprised that he manage to keep it at bay." "What is it exactly?" "It's a being that was never seen and now that being has return to claim another victim and Rai is next to him on." "Who is he?" "His name is Kurama the Dragon taker. He was locked away for thousands of years." He said as Ventress felt a little worry for Rai.
Then suddenly they looked up to see two ships heading towards them. "I think we need to continue this somewhere safe." She said as she took Aang and she went passed a machine but she saw that Rai was standing there and he was still looking up at the ships. Ahsoka notice that he was waiting for them and Anakin was the first that jumped from the ship. He was going to get his revenge for that incident in the pipes and he saw that Rai haven't started running when he saw the ships. "I am going to enjoy this. Once I take you down; I will take you back to the Jedi Temple so the council will have no choice but to execute you." He said as ahsoka notice that Anakin was going to attack Rai. "Master, you said that I should talk to him." "Change of plan, ahsoka. I am going to bring this traitor in by FORCE." He said as he launched at Rai with full force and he ignited his lightsaber but Rai use the Force to push Anakin back which knocked his lightsaber out of his hand and Anakin had no choice but to fight hand to hand. He tried to punched Rai in the face but Rai kicked Anakin in his face. Then Rai brought his right hand right across Anakin's face which cause him to bleed and Anakin got back on his feet but Rai use the Force to slammed Anakin to the ground really hard and Anakin was bleeding even more. Ahsoka never saw this side of him before and she was worried about him but she started to jumped down from the ships. She was about to stop him before he do something worst. She saw him walking towards Anakin and he ignited his black lightsaber and he was going finished Anakin off. "RAI!" She shouted as Rai stopped in his tracks and he turned to face her. Ahsoka saw that his eyes were still black and not his normal dark green. "You don't need to kill anyone. It only feed the dark side inside of you." "Ahsoka? Don't come any closer stay where you are. I am trying to keep him at bay right now and I don't need you to get hurt because of him." He said as ahsoka didn't know what was he was talking about and she started to walk closer and closer to him.
"I don't mind to eating her instead of this weakling." "No, I will not let harm her not while I'm still breathing." "If you care about her so much then use that smoke bomb to get away from her." Kurama said as Rai pulled out a smoke bomb and ahsoka saw it and she ran up to him but she was too late and he slammed the smoke bomb down to the ground and he vanished. "What had got into you? We do not attack in anger." She said as she helped Anakin back on to his feet again. He was still bleeding from his head and he saw that Rai was gone and he looked at Ahsoka. "Where did Rai go? I need to find before he get to his ship." He said as ahsoka slapped him in the back of his head. "Do you hear yourself? Rai was going to kill you if I haven't interfere." She said as Anakin looked at Rex and the others. "Find him and bring him to me ALIVE!" He said as Rex nodded his head and he told the clones to search all over the city to find Rai and Aang. Ventress and Aang manage to get away but they saw that Rai haven't come back yet and they saw him landed in front of them. "I think we need to move before Rex and his brothers find us." He said as he helped Aang to his feet and they carried him. Rai sense someone was following them and he turn his head to see that presence disappeared. "What are you staring at, Rai?" Aang asked as Rai back at him and he shook his head. "It was nothing I thought I saw something but it was some small creatures." He said as Aang knew that he was trying to keep him from worrying about him. Then rai sense that same presence again and it was coming up behind them. Then suddenly there was hooded man and he Force pushed them but they were separated and Rai landed on his feet. He sense that Aang was with Ventress and he saw the hooded man walking towards him. Rai ignited his two black lightsabers and he waited for the man to pull out his lightsabers.
Then he saw that the man had two lightsabers that looked like Ventress' lightsabers. "So, you decided to steal something that doesn't belong to you." He said as the hooded man leap at him but Rai blocked his attacked and Rai knew something wasn't right. Then he felt himself losing his strength and he notice that his visions was getting blurry. "You have something that affect me for some reason. I must get away from you before all of my strength is gone." "hahahahahahaha. Looks like someone finally found that cursed plant." "Why am I affected by this?" Rai asked as Kurama continue to laughed at his torment but he realize that the plant is affecting him as well. "That plant is called Dragon spore, it affect anyone that have dragon blood in their vein. I can't help with this and I am not able to give it to you." He said as Rai got back on his feet and he use his double-bladed lightsaber to fight out two of Ventress' lightsabers and he felt bad that he was going to destroy them. "I am so sorry Ventress but I have to destroy your lightsabers." He thought as he went straight forward towards the hooded man. Rai use his double-bladed saber to tried and slice the hooded figure right side but the hooded man dodge it and Rai had a smirk on his face. He wasn't aiming for the hooded man limps and he slice one of Ventress' lightsabers to pieces. "Now, I am going to ask that you drop that lightsaber and go before I do something that I'll regret." He said as his eyes turn from black to grey dragon eyes. Then the hooded man pull out and plant that he had inside his cloths that made Rai weaker again and he kicked the plant out of his hands. But Rai didn't notice that the hooded man had another plant on him. Rai was getting weaker and weaker by the minute. "Who...are...you?" He asked as the hooded man Force pushed him to a warehouse that was across from them.
Ventress and Aang saw Rai flying towards the warehouse and they started to head over there to help him but they saw Rex and the clones heading towards there and they headed towards ventress' ship. "We can't just leave him." "What the hell can we do? You have a broken leg and I don't have my lightsabers with me. We are weaponless against them." She said as they started up the ship and she put in the coordinates to Tatoonie and they left Rai to his fate but Aang will not give up on him. Rai went through several floors and he made it to the bottom of the warehouse. He wipe some of the blood off his face and all three of his lighsabers landed in front of he saw some crates that had sign on them and one of them had a sign that "explodives." "Nanodroids." He said as Rex and his clones brother came in and they all pointed their at Rai. "Wait a minute Captain I-" He was interrupted when one of them shot a stun ray at him. Rai collapase and the clones search the warehouse and they found the crates. "This was filled with explodsive captain." "That can only mean one thing General Rai is a traitor. General Skywalker, general Ti, Commnader Tano, we have Rai in our custody right now." "Hold him there Rex, we will on our way to pick you guys." Anakin said as Rex turn off his comlink and he looked over Rai's body and he saw that he was in some kind of fight. Then suddenly he looked up to see that their ride was here to get him and his brother out of there. Ahsoka jumped down and she went to help the clones with Rai's unconscious body. She notice that he was blieeding from his forehead and he lower lip and she open a medical kit then she tried to clean his wounds. "What are you doing, Ahsoka?" Anakin asked as ahsoka just ignore him and she wanted to make sure that Rai didni't have infection from his wounds. Deep inside his mind, Rai saw the spirit that turn his eyes black and he was huge. "So, you come to see me in person. I thought that I might take your body as my own." He said as Rai knew that he was serious about this. "I will not allow you to take my body." "Hahahahahahahahaha, I didn't say you have a choice." Kurama said as he knocked Rai across the other side of his mind. Kuarma took his position and he started to called upon his dragon powers. Back in the real world, Ahsoka was still cleaning his wounds and she notice his birthmarks started to glow. Rai started to move his hands and he felt someone had a grip on his arms.
Rex looked at Rai for a moment and he saw that he was awake, but he notice that he was different person. "Hey, general Rai is awake." He said as Rai flip backwards and he slammed Rex and the other clones into each other and they let go of his arms. Rai smirked as some of the clones tried to put the cuffs on him, but he use the Force to push them off the ship. Anakin saw that Rai was attacking Rex and the others, but he still had Rai's lightsabers and he saw that he was coming to get them. "So, you decided to take these back huh? I been waiting for this moment to take you out." He said as Rai started to laugh and Anakin ignite his lightsaber and he tried to attack Rai. "Hahahahahahahaha. The all mighty Anakin is scare of me. I can sense your fear and your anger, but wait I also sense that you have someone that you care about." He said as Anakin knew what he was talking. "You stay away from her!" "Aw did I hit a nerve. Maybe I just leave just so that you and your secret can live happy ever after." He said as Anakin getting more and more angry but Kurama use his anger against him. Then he use the Force to knocked him around and Ahsoka notice that Rai wasn't acting like his usual self. Once he had his fun, he was going to finished what Rai had started. Ahsoka came up to him and she stood in front of him and she was going to tried to talk some sense into him. "Rai? What are you doing? This is not the Jedi way, we don't kill fellow Jedi." "That because your master had a secret that you didn't even know. He has formed attachment with Senator Padme." Kurama said as ahsoka looked at Anakin was trying to get back on his feet. Then Rai called his lightsabers back to him and he turn around to looked out from the sky. Anakin ran straight towards him but ahsoka stopped in his tracks and she had a worry look on her face. "Master? Is this true you and padime?" She asked as Anakin knew that he can't tell her so he push her out of the ship. "AAAHHHHHHHHH!" She screamed as deep in Rai's mind something awaken inside of Rai and he ran straight towards Kurama. He punched kurama in the jaw but that was no originally punch. Kuarma got back up on his feet and he saw something forming around Rai but it was a grey aura and it was that same aura that defeated Onaga. Rai's hair spike out and there was wrings forming on his back.
"I recognize this. You're using that same aura that defeated Onaga and now that you're able to use it you think that you can defeat m-" He was interrupted when Rai disappear and reappear in front of him. Then he kicked in the head which cause him fly backwards and Rai called upon the aura's power to forge him a sword that will end this fight. Then the aura rise it hands above Rai's head and the aura summon a sword that will help him. Rai picked the sword up and he charged towards Kurama, but Kurama tried his best to stop him and he notice that he couldn't move. He looked around to see that he was chained up and Rai was still coming towards him. "Please, I was only joking around and you have to save that girl you loved." He pleased as Rai stopped in his track as he remember what was going on. Then he threw the sword at Kurama's heart and Kurama felt the pain go through his body and he started to disappeared. "What's happening to me! NO, this can't happen to ME! NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!" Kurama Shouted as his body disappeared and back in the real world, Rai jumped out of the airship and he went after Ahsoka. They free fall to their deaths and Rai folded his arms to his side just to get more speed. Then he caught her and Ahsoka notice that he was back to normal. "Ahsoka, listen I am about to summon my wings to fly you to a roof but I need you to let me go." "Why? I thought that you want me to capture you." "My destiny is calling me and I need you to take care of Barris and yourself until me and Aang return." He said as he spread his wing and Ahsoka held on to him as they headed for a roof. Rai landed on the rooftop and he waited for ahsoka to get off of his back. "When will you go now, Rai?" She asked as he took off the bandages to see that his wounds are healed. "I don't know Ahsoka, but my destiny is calling me and I must leave Coruscant." He said as Ahsoka felt sad that he have to leave and she still haven't told him the good news. "Rai, I'm-" she was interrupted as Rai saw that the airships had come to find Ahsoka and Rai but Rai jumped from the roof and he open the portal to fall in. Anakin landed the ship on the roof and he saw that Ahsoka was okay and he didn't see Rai around. "Did he hurt you? Where is that bastard?" He asked as Ahsoka felt her anger growing when her master just called Rai a bastard. "He left and he said that we can't find him in none of the star system." She said as they heading back to the Jedi to informed the Jedi council.
Meanwhile on Tatooine
Ling and Latts was cleaning their house and they were waiting for Ventress to come home. Latts continue to rubbed Ling's belly which Ling doesn't mine at all. "I can't believe that I am going to be a mom. So, what are we going to name it?" Latts said as Ling place her hand under her chin to ponder on a name for their unborn child. "If it's a boy I wanted to name him Tai Ventress Razzi Stone, or if it's a girl I like the name Tula." She said as Latts smiled at her and she kiss her on the lips. "I hope Asajj hurry up so she can pick out the name for the baby." She said as Ling started to giggle when she notice that Latts was getting impatient. Then she heard a ship landed in front of their house and she was about to get up but she couldn't because she was with child and Latts helped her up slowly. "Take a easy dear. Remember the doctor says that you can't be on your feet as long as you are carried that baby inside of you." She said as Ling pouted when was be lecture by her own girlfriend. Latts knew that she couldn't resist Ling's cuteness. "Aggh. Fine but I will be the one to carry you outside." "There's no need for you two to move anyway." Ventress said as both of them looked at each others and back Ventress. "What?" She said as she place her hand on her hip and latts came up to her and she kissed her. She kissed back and she felt Ling sadness building and she walked over to her. "I didn't forget about you my sacred rose." She said as she kissed her but she realized that she left Aang outside. Aang was trying his best to get off the ship but his injured leg made him fall. "SON OF A BITCH! THAT HURT AS HELL!" He shouted as the echo hit Ventress' ears and she got up for a moment.
"Oh, I almost forgot about bring him in." She said as she went back outside to bring aang inside to get his leg treated. "When did you started to bring home stray pets?" Ling asked as Ventress brought Aang into the living room and her eyes widen when she saw her brother. "AANG! What happen?! Where's Rai?!" She asked as Aang tried his best not to have her worry too much. "Ling calm down remember what the doctor says about being stress." Ventress said as Ling calm herself down for a moment and she looked at her brother to see that he was hurt. Then Aang told her everything that had happen on Coruscant and he even told that Kurama had shown his face inside of Rai's body. Ling was overwhelmed that Rai manage to get pass the whole thing and she was surprised that Anakin tried to kill him. "Well, Fuck them and that damn council we don't need those piece shit." She said as both her and aang sense a portal being open from outside of the house and they all headed outside to see the portal. Then suddenly Rai came out of the portal and Ling notice that he was back to his old self again. Aang didn't sense kurama inside of him and he notice that Rai have a few scratches on him. "Rai? You're here but how did you get away?" Asajj asked as she came up and hugged him. Rai knew that she was worry about him. 'Well Asajj, Ahsoka let me go and I left before she told something. I was hoping that was important." He said as he saw Ling walking up to him and she had tears in her eyes. She hugged him and she ball her eyes out and Rai knew that she was hugging him too tight. "Ling? You're hugging too tight which I can't breathe." He said as Ling let go of him so he can breathe and Rai notice that Latts was standing behind her. "Are you two going intreduce me to your friend there?" He asked as he pointed at latts and she blushed when he notice her. "My name is Latts Razzi and I am both Ling's and Ventress' girlfriend. They told a lot about you and some that I am not proud of." She said as she looked at Ventress with an angry look and ventress held up both of her hand in her defendence. "I was ordered to kill him and he forgiving me after he came back to Dathomir."
"Whatever but I am glad that I get to finally meet you." "Thank you and my name is Rai Stone by the way." He said as he bow to her and they took this time to heal their wound and they tried to figure a plan before the republic finds out that he and Aang are on Tatooine. "So, what's our next move to get back at the Repubilc for casting you and Aang out on your asses?" Ling asked as they looked at her and they notice that Rai had been quiet for a while. He was deep in thought about something and then his parent shown up. "Rai? Thank the Force that you're okay and not hurt." "Hey mother, father; I am safe for the moment and it won't take long before the Republic send someone after me and Aang again." He said as his parent to figure out a game plan for their son to be safe and out of the Republic's hands. Then Rai sense someone else entering his mind and it was none other than Alec. "Rai, I have come to give a message from the Chain Dragon. He requested that you, Maul, Aang, and Ling to come to Darkon." She said as she vanished and Rai started to think about the planet for a moment. Then he remeber it clearly now it was the same planet where Aang was born. "You know what you must do my son?" "Yes, I go back to the white temple to pick up maul and we all to the Drakon to meet this Chain Dragon." He said as he came back to reality and he smiled as Aang, Ventress, Latts, and Ling didn't know what he was smiling at. "I have plan that we must do but I you all to agree with this before I even tell you what it is." He said as they all nodded their heads and Rai told them everything that they needed to do, but Aang and Ventress was against it. "No way in HELL I am not allowing that monster to come near Ling." She said as she slammed her fist to the table which scare Ling half to death. "Yeah she's right, Rai. Do you know what could happen to the Dragon if Mual step one foot on that planet? It will be Hell on earth because that planet never had no connection to the light and dark side of the Force." He said as Rai just close his eyes to for them to be done with their out burst. "Are you two done? I still stand strongly with my decision and if you have a problem with that than by all means fight him." He said as Ling was impressed that he remain calm while they told that they disagree with his plan. "I'm for it and I stand with Rai's decision on this. We need all the help that we need to put this war to rest." "I agree with Ling, maybe we should give him a chance." "Not mention he did lost his only brother at the hand of dath Sidious." Rai said as Aang, Ling, and Ventress were shocked that he told them that he met with the Dark Lord of the Sith. "YOU SAW DARTH SIDIOUS?!" They asked as he nodded his head and he continue tell them everything that did but he also them that he was being talk to by someone else. They all started ponder on it for a moment until Latts heard something on the radio and she turn it up for a bit. "This is an announencement to all bounty hunters across the galaxy. There is a large bounty on these two rogue Jedi Knights and the Republic wants them dead or alive. The amount is one million credits for their each other them." Latts turn off the radio and she looked at them with a worry look on her face. "We need to go before they decided to come hear to ask us about you guys."
Rai, Aang, and Ling have no other choice but to take Latts and Ventress with them and they all head outside to get some room for Ling and Aang to open the portal to Drakon. Rai would open the portal himself but he don't know what Drakon looks like but thanks to Aang and Ling for being the first two that been to Drakon before Rai was even born. They performed several stances until Rai's birthmarks started to glow and so did his eyes but his eyes turn white and he floated in the air. Ling notice the aura appearing around Rai and the aura brought his hands together to open the portal for them. Once the portal open up, they all headed inside and Rai just floated inside the portal. Then the portal close before the bounty hunters came to Ventress', Latts', and Ling's house to asked them about the news about that huge amount a credits and they notice that they were gone. "Looks like they don't want to split the bounty." They said as they left and went after the rogue Jedi Knights. Ling was excited to go back to Drakon and Aang was happy to see his old home once again. Ventress and Latts didn't know what to do with her and they floated closer to ling's side. "So, are you going to tell us about this place or what?" "Oh, I totally forgot to tell about that place. Well, Aang was born there and my mother brought me there to received my dragon gift but that place is beautiful and you got to taste the fruits there. It's delicious and some of views are pretty and there is a waterfall that you got to tried." She said as her girlfriends knew that she been dreaming to go back there. Rai's aura was still controlling him and he remain inside his grey aura. "Drakon's grate is dead ahead." He said as he floated forwards and he tried to open the grates with his fist. Then the grates open up and a bright light shine and they cover their eyes.
Meanwhile at the White Temple.
Maul manage to defeat the darkness in his heart and he was meditating while he wait for fate to guide him. Then he sense that someone was opening a portal behind him and out came Zane. Maul didn't know him and he ignited his lightsabers to prepare himself to face him. "Easy friend, I am not here to fight but I am here to get to a place that need your help. Your friend is there waiting for you to show up." He said as Maul just looked at him and he put his lightsabers back to his belt. "Who are you? I never seen you before." Maul said as Zane started to laugh at him and he just shook his head. "That's because I was the one that built this place. I was also Rai's ancestor and your training is completed young Maul. Yours and Rai's destiny are entwine and you are the bridge of peace you are one of four dragons general." He said as Maul wasn't sure about all of this but he remember what Rai had told him and he needed him to face the dark lord. "I still not sure that I am ready to face him yet. I just need more time to find my true self but if he needed me than I must go to him." He said as Zane open the portal but he notice that Maul needed some new cloths to wear and he thought about the new design for it.
"Wait, you can't go and your friend dressing like that. I have done some designing back in my day and all of my design are remarkable." He said as he use his dragon power to change Maul's appearance and the fire engulf him but it didn't kill him. It change his old cloths into new cloths and his new cloths had some dragons on it. Maul notice that his leg felt different and they felt like actually legs. He saw that the portal was still open. "I am ready to go." He said as they jumped inside of it and the portal close behind them. They floated pass different star systems and Maul notice that there was an unknown planet that he never knew that existed. "I never seen this planet before what the name of it." He said as Zane smiled at him and he just looked direct at it. "That is my home Drakon and it the home of hybrids like myself and other more but it was make by one among us that is more powerful than us and we call him the Chain Dragon." "Does he have another name than that?" "Sorry but no he doesn't and trust me I don't even know that he have an actual name." He said as they made it to the grates to Drakon and they fade right through it.
Meanwhile on Drakon.
The portal open up and out came Ventress, Latts, Ling, Aang, and Aura Rai and they looked around to see that the planet what as Ling says. "Wow, this place is beautiful and I think that I should live here." Latts said as Ling walked up to one of the trees that had fruits. Then she toss it to ventress and she eat it and so did Latts. "That taste good and I think we should make some food out these fruit." She said as Ling have one fruit for Rai to tasted once he turn back to normal and she saw that he was changing back to normal. He started to holding his head and ling handed him a fruit that will help him. "What happen to me?" "Well, how do I explain without you freaking out." "Ling, I want to know and why would I freak out." He said as Ling told him what happen and he just stand there and said nothing then he just shrugged his shoulders and he looked at the plants. Then he sense someone was coming from the bushes and he ignited his lightsabers to prepared himself for anything. But he sense Maul's presence and he turn off his lightsabers then he clipped. "Maul, how did you get here?" He said as Maul notice that his hair had grew out and he notice that there was others people that he never met before. "I was brought here by your ancestor and he say that I am one of the Four dragon generals." He said as Rai thought on which ancestors that he was talking about and then the thought came to his mind. "It must be Zane that brought you here then." He said as Maul nodded his head and he notice that ventress was staring at him.
She walked up to him and she use the Force to called Ling's double-bladed saber then she ignited it. "I know that you done something in the past but if you come near Ling and threaten Rai's or Aang's life; I'll be the one to end your life." She said as Maul nodded his head and she turn off the double-bladed saber and she handed it back to Ling. Maul looked at Rai for some suggestion and Rai just went to meditate for moment but he received a called from the Chain Dragon inside of his mine. "I need to you come to the temple to the north where you all are at. I need you all to come before nightfall." He said as rai open his eyes and he stood up for a moment. "I think it's time for us to start moving to the Temple now before nightfalls." He said as everyone looked at him and Ling and Aang both nodded their heads. "It's to the north and we can make it together as a team. Me and Ling know by heart and we knows the danger than anyone else trust me when I say this we don't want to be separated from each other." Aang said as they started to walking towards the temple and Latts notice some beautiful planets in the trees. She was about to grabbed one of them but she notice a cute creature and she pick it up. "Ling look what I found isn't it the cuteness thing that you ever seen." She said as Ling took a closer look at it and she saw it was her pet. "Gasp. Tonton!" She said as Latts looked at her and she watch as the creature recognized it master. The only creature could tell that she was his master just by nibbling on her nose. "I thought I never see you again. Thank you so much for finding him, Latts." She said as she gave a passonate kiss and she stuck her tongue inside her mouth. Ventress just only with excitement in her body tell to do them right now. Rai looked at her and he notice that Ling and Latts was falling behind. "Ling! Latts! Hurry up before you two be left behind." He said as Ling and Latts notice that they was leaving them and they ran after the group. Ventress smiled at him and she notice that he had become a good leader to them. "He's sure had mature more since we left Darthomir and now just looking at him mader me wonder why have mother chosen him to be the leader of the Nightsisters. Well, she did told that his mother died of child birth and he was left without of mother since then. Maybe I should ask him about it." She thought as Rai could sense her thoughts and he looked at her. "Are you alright, Ventress?"
"Yeah I'm fine but I been wondering about something. Why didn't you tell me that you were a Nightbrother of the Nightsisters." She asked as Rai wondered about that same queston himself and He notice that she was waiting on an answer. "Well, my mother gave birth to me there and I became the nightbrother of the nightsisters." He said as Ventress nodded her head and she watch as Ling and Latts came up to her. She notice that Ling was carrying a creature that was asleep in her arm. "What is that?" "That's Tonton and he is my pet that I have a long time ago but I thought that he would made his full adult form already." She said as Rai looked at the sleeping creature and he notices that the creature looked like the same creature in his vision. They walked what seem like hours and they saw a waterfall up ahead and Ling, Latts, and ventress went to the waterfalls to get some to drink while the boys looked for something to eat. "These trees are remarkable, I have never seen a trees that reproduce more fruits once you taken one of them." Maul said as Rai just smiled at him and Aang saw that the girls were playing in the water. "We have come a long way have we, Aang?" Rai asked as Aang nodded his head and he smiled for a bit. "That we did, Rai that we did." He said as they helped maul with the food and they notice that the girls were done playing in the water. They all sat down and eat for little bit before they continue their journey on to the temple. They made it to the temple before the sun went down and they started to walked up the stairs. When they made it to the top, Rai saw a door that had a white dragon on the right and black dragon on ther left. He walked up to it and he place his hand on it but the automatic open up. "It's dark in there but we need to find something to use as a torch." "I have a torch right here. Tonton light the path for us." Ling said as the creature ignite his scales to shine and he walked inside the temple. "That's one useful creature ling," He said as ling smiled at him and they all went inside to looked around. Maul started to get a bad feeling already and he sense that there was something here. Then Rai use his other senses to sense the presences as well and he sensed four presences. Ventress looking the anicent hieroglyphics and she looked at rai for a moment. "Aang? Can you translate the meaning of these hieroglyphics?" "Of course. These hieroglyphics tell us about anicent shaman that put a curse on her people and it took her brother "The Stone" to put a stop to her evil deeds but he took the curse and mix it his blood and that how the curse bloodline stated." He said as she, Latts, and Maul looked Aang, Ling, and Rai with a sad look on their faces.
"I am so sorry to hear that you, Rai, and Ling haven't had a good childhood because of that curse in your blood." She said as Aang shook his head and he smiled at her. "It's alright Ventress. As soon as we get to the Chain Dragon's chambers, we will be ready for anything that comes our way." He said as she nodded her head and then suddenly Rai's grey crystal started to glow in his pocket. He pulled the crystal out and he sense that it was trying to tell that there is a forge down the next corner. "What is it Rai?" "I don't know but the crystal is reacting to something and I think its trying to tell me that we go this way." He said as they followed him down to the next corner and they saw a door up ahead. Then Rai's birthmarks started to glow once again and so did Aang's and Ling's as well. "This must be the right door because I sense a strong presence inside of there." Ling said as Rai notice that her pet was getting twitchy and he pushed open the door which he saw that the room was filled with something evil. Rai notice that there was three people sitting in the middle one of them one the left that look exactly like Aang, the other on the right looked like Maul and the last one in the middle looked like himself. They all enter the room and Aang notice something wasn't right here. "This must be one of the trail that I haven't completed." He said as Rai looked at the floor and he saw that there was a line in front of them. "It seem that you, me, and Maul are going to fight these three look a likes." Rai said as they nodded their head and they took off their cloak to face alternator selves. Then dark figures stood up and they prepare themselves to face them. Rai ignited his two black lightsabers, Aang ignite his single lightsaber, and Maul ignited his fallen brother's double-bladed saber. Then evil halves ignited their red lightsabers and they wait for someone to make a move.
"There's got to be a way for us to get the upper hand before this fight starts. Wait a sec, three of us and they have the same lightsabers as us and if we attack the person that looked like one of us then this would go on until me, aang, and maul get tried. So, the plan for us to win is to switch." He thought as he looked at aang and maul for a moment. "Hey guys, switch places for a bit." He said as aang and maul looked at each others and back at rai. "Why?" "If we attack a different person, we can move on and we don't have to be exhausted." He said as they looked at evil selves and they started to move but they started to shuffle themselves just to confuse the evil selves and it work their evil selves didn't know what they were doing. "NOW!" Rai shouted as he drop kicked Maul's dark half, Aang took on Rai's dark half, and Maul took on Aang's dark half. Rai put his dual sabers into reverse grip which knocked the double-bladed of his hands then he struck him down. Aang saw that Rai's dark half had his left leg out place and he took it as advantage and he swiped the leg. Then he brought his lightsaber to his heart and Maul use the double-bladed saber to cut off Aang's half's head off. The battle was over and their dark halves turn themselves into chain but the chains started to move and it slammed into the ground which they all fell in. They all landed in the water and Rai sense that everyone was alright then they were swimming up for air. He was about to do the same thing but suddenly one of the chain that he defeated grabbed his leg and pulled him down. Everyone made to the surface and ling's pet swam toward land. Then they all follow the creature and they made it but Ling notice that Rai wasn't among them. "Where is Rai?" She asked as she looked around for him and Aang shrugged his shoulders. "He's probably still in the WATER!" Aang said as they saw air bubbles and they assume the worst had happen but then Rai came bursting out of the water while he was holding on to the chain. Then he let go of it and he landed in front of them and he handed ventress his double-bladed saber to prepare herself. They all ignited their weapon and they ready themselves to face this creature, but Ling and Aang knew that he was here.
"Wait guys, we know who that is. He's the one that gave me and aang our dragon powers when we were younglings." She said as they deactivated their weapons and the Chain dragon's head appear out of the water and he was surprise that they made it pass the test that he setup for them. "I see that you three pass you test and especially you Rai Stone." He said as Rai looked at him and his birthmarks started to glow again. "I have call you here for one reason and that reason is to became the grey dragon." He said as Rai's grey crystal started shine brightly and he pulled it out of his pocket. "I have to be a grey dragon?" "Yes, Aang and Ling are the black and white dragons. Don't you remember when you three went to rescue ventresss and you transformed into a grey dragon." "I remember but I don't know how to do it again." He said as the Chain Dragon brought his claw closer to Rai's heart and there was glow that open his heart. "I have unlocked that ability now and you can transform when ever you want now but that was just only step one. The other is to forge your chain saber." "Chain Saber?" "Yes, it's a lightsaber that have a chain around it." He said as Rai felt his birthmarks started to change and his birthmarks are still dragons but they have chains on them. Then the chain dragon roar as the water started to rise up and Rai saw the altar that had chain wrapped around it. "Go and Forge you Chain Saber." He said as Rai nodded his head and he started to walk up the stairs. Aang tried to stop him but Ling just stepped in front of him. "This is his final trail and we cannot interfere. You know that aang, just have fate that he will make it out of there okay." She said as he nodded his head. Once Rai made it to the top, he placed the grey crystal on the altar and there was silence as the chains started to raddle. Then Rai close his eyes to started to forging his Chain Saber and he open his hands to unleashed the power of his dragon chain birthmarks. All the material started to appear and they connect one by one. Aang, Ling, Latts, Maul, and Ventress were amazed that he has this amount a power that was stored inside of him this long. Once all the materials were together, Rai uses the chain around the altar and he put them together. Then the forge was complete and he open his eyes to see that he had created his Chain Saber. "That makes four." He said as he took it from the altar but the saber attached the chains to him and he walked back down the steps. "The Forging is complete." He said as the chain smiled at him and he shot fire at him, Ling, and Aang. "LING! NOOOOOOOOOO!" Ventress and Latts said as they looked at the chain Dragon with anger in their eyes.
Wow, that was a shocker to see. How did the chain Dragon just shot fire at Rai, Ling, and Aang like that? They done nothing wrong but he just did it and now that Ventress and Latts are pissed that their beloved Ling is dead. Who will save the galaxy now if Rai is dead once again.
