Hello, again, everyone! What's up? Are you all having a good time getting back to School, College, or even starting one or the other? I hope so, because I am. This is SuperHeroTimeFan, now returning to you with a brand-new Chapter for one of my greatest Stories, Journey of the Knight! I'm very pleased with the progress I have made so far, especially since I made a new Short Story Series to go along with this, JOTK One-Shots. I've been carrying a lot on my shoulders, but I'll be sure to make this Story the best it can be. I thank you all for continuing to keep your faith in me, even when I am starting College for the very first time.

Now, before I get started on my new Chapter, I would like to first address some questions from the Reviews, and for once, the Private Messages. First one to give me some questions is TheGreatGodzilla. You have recommended five great ideas for me to use. However, there are only a select few I think I can use. Thank you. For Carlos Jacob, you seemed to have asked a lot. Here we go. You can say that the recent events from the previous chapters of Journey of the Knight are starting to lead Miss Martian to how her personality transforms in Young Justice: Invasion. I'll try to make the other Clone Troopers survive, and try not to carry out Order 66. The Expanded Universe Members of the Young Justice will surely live, I can almost promise you that. I can try to have Pix be taken under Wonder Woman's wing. Satele Shan and Bastila Shan will be making appearances in my Story, that I can certainly promise you. Now, with all of those out of the way, here is my brand-new Chapter, second to the Miss Martian the Lost One Arc! Please be sure to review, rate, and as always, please be sure to enjoy!
Chapter 37: Brawling with Danger
When logic fails, trust your instincts.
A Trial of self! Seeking answers to find out about her true self as the Lost One of the Force, MISS MARTIAN seeks out the counsel of Grand Jedi Master Yoda for answers. Megan finds out that the ORDER, the Separatists and the DarkSiders are not the only ones who want to gain her for her Powers, though. A new threat under a blast from the past is out for Miss Martian, with intentions unknown! After facing several difficult Trials to discover who she truly is, and with the help of fellow YOUNG JUSTICE Member, close friend, and considered to be her Sister, TOGRUTA PADAWAN AHSOKA TANO, Miss Martian passes, and decides to, for now, train in the ways of the Jedi until the rogue Sith are apprehended. However, in these times, no one is safe, and the greatest challenge for everyone… will be each other!
Hidden deep on one of the Moons of Ryloth, Jana Starr meditated. She started to see memories of the past. There was an explosion and a black lightsaber blade retracting itself. The bodies of two nearly-dead young females. The shrill of metal, and lastly, a scream Jana could only identify as her own.
Jana opened her eyes and looked around. "Erica was right," she said to herself, using the Force to grab her lightsaber. "If I am to regain my Powers, I must take down the Martian myself," Jana muttered. She cracked her neck and placed her lightsaber on her belt as she passed Erica herself. "Whether I am ready or not."
Erica grinned as her transparent body flashed. She walked over to Jana and cleared her throat as Jana was just about to leave.
"What do you want now, Erica?" Jana asked.
Erica smirked and patted Jana on the back, but really, she had set a ticking explosive onto Jana's back. Erica stepped back and bowed. "Only to wish you luck, my liege." She falsely replied back to Jana.
"I do not believe in luck." Jana spat. She leapt up into the air, and as she did, fire surrounded her. She gained some sort of Phoenix-Like Wings and her Cloak started to change shape, engulfing her until she had transformed into a fiery Phoenix. She shrilled before flying off.
"Neither… do I," Erica spat. She became transparent again, now finding herself within the Jedi Temple. "Now, to find Miss Martian, and take her powers for myself." Erica said to herself as she started to sneak around.
In the ORDER's Ship, the Marauder, Xion was once again having a personal training session in the pool. She slay each of the Training Droids and Soldiers that came at her, but she managed to maneuver past them. She unsheathed her Xiphon and used it to slash at one Droid before sending Sith Lightning towards six Soldiers. She swam out of the pool and got onto the surface. She looked to the timer on the wall, seeing that her record this time was longer than her last one.
"Maybe I'm getting slow," Xion said to herself, lighting up her hand with Sith Fire and dropping it at the ground in front of her. Her body started to dry as she went to get herself a towel to dry herself off even more. "But stranger things have happened."
All of a sudden, Xion sensed something. She dropped her towel and closed her eyes as she knelt down onto the floor in a meditative position. She began to meditate, now sensing a strong presence in the Force.
At the Jedi Temple, Ahsoka Tano and Miss Martian were circling one another in the Training Room. The Young Justice watched the two alien females as they adjusted their footing, both bare feet moving away from one another. Ahsoka activated her lightsaber with her left foot forwards and her lightsaber held in a reverse-grip while Miss Martian placed her right foot forwards, her lightsaber held out in a Makashi Position. Both of the Force Sensitives narrowed their eyes at each other before charging. Ahsoka struck first with a Shii-Cho strike to M'gann's chest, but M'gann was able to parry off the attack with Makashi. She circled her blade around Ahsoka's and swung back at the Togruta Padawan, but Ahsoka was more skilled, and managed to use Soresu to strike back. Miss Martian quickly brought her lightsaber back for defense, and the two stood in a standoff. Both Ahsoka Tano and Miss Martian grinned at one another before breaking away and unsheathing their secondary lightsabers. Ahsoka and Miss Martian charged at one another once more, using their own knowledge of lightsaber combat to predict the moves of one another.
Miss Martian brought her left blade to Ahsoka's knee, but Ahsoka used the other end of her Double-Bladed Lightsaber to block the attack before swinging the blade around and deactivating the emerald end of her Double-Bladed Lightsaber. Miss Martian backflipped away and dashed towards Ahsoka with an Ataru swing, which Ahsoka countered by using a Shien strike.
Everyone watched as Ahsoka now had her lightsaber leveled at Miss Martian's neck. Miss Martian had her lightsaber aimed at Ahsoka's neck as well. Both Ahsoka and M'gann smiled to each other and deactivated their lightsabers. Everyone present in the room applauded the two, seeing that it was a close match.
Xion opened her eyes. "So, the Martian has found out about her true Power," she mused. "She just may be a valuable asset to us in our struggle to gain control over this Universe, Earth-16, and the other Universes that exist," Xion said to herself. She placed her robe onto her body and doused the flame she put. "I must find a way to draw them out."
Ahsoka chuckled as she and Miss Martian were walking together in the Halls of the Jedi Temple.
"You put up quite a fight out there, M'gann," Ahsoka complimented her Martian friend, who couldn't help but smile back. "You just might have what it takes to fight against this new threat we've been hearing about."
"Slow down there, Ahsoka," Miss Martian said with a chuckle. "I'm still learning more about my Powers. I'm not sure I could take on this new threat just yet."
Ahsoka chuckled. "Yeah, I guess you're right," the Togruta replied back. "Power isn't something the Jedi are to covet you know," she stated. "It can corrupt anyone. It did with Count Dooku."
"So I've seen," Miss Martian mused as the two entered the Jedi Archives. She looked to the busts of several of the fallen Jedi, Count Dooku amongst them. These Jedi were known as the Lost Twenty. "Obi-Wan and Madame Jocasta told me about how he became a part of the Lost Twenty. I wonder, if I'm the Lost One, would there be a place for me?" she asked.
"These are only for Jedi who had lost their way through the Force," Ahsoka explained. "Count Dooku wasn't only a former Jedi under the tutelage of Master Yoda, but he was also the Jedi Master of Qui-Gon Jinn," the Togruta stated. "You remember him, right? The spirit we saw while on Earth?"
"Yeah," Miss Martian replied. "Maybe he saw something great in you before he even died," M'gann threw out. "I know that it might sound crazy, but you have to consider why he would come to you, of all the known Jedi. You have Powers that have never been seen nor used by other Jedi."
"And so do you," Ahsoka reminded her Martian friend. "Remember, he was the very Jedi who discovered that Skyguy was the Chosen One. Anakin told me about how Qui-Gon died on Naboo while fighting Darth Maul. Anakin looked up to Qui-Gon Jinn since the day he died. He must have seen something in Master Qui-Gon too."
"Such as a certain unorthodox way with the ways of the Jedi," Obi-Wan said, walking up to the two girls. "Master Qui-Gon was familiar with a lot of Jedi who have either died or are still living. We all have something special about us."
"And I wonder just what that is about you." Erica said quietly as she remained invisible. She reached her hand out to Miss Martian, but all of a sudden, M'gann turned around and activated her lightsaber, nearly cutting down Erica.
"Who's there?" Miss Martian asked.
Ahsoka and Obi-Wan both looked around. "What's wrong, Miss Martian?" Obi-Wan asked. "Are you still feeling off from Master Rancisis's Trial."
Miss Martian looked around for whoever she sensed. For some reason, she could feel that someone was watching over her, which, at the moment, was everyone at her sudden outburst, but this was someone who could be cloaking their Force Signature.
"I'm sorry, Master Kenobi," Miss Martian said. "I felt as if there were someone watching over me for a second there." She explained as Jedi Masters Aayla Secura, Tiplee and Tiplar walked by. They had just overheard what Miss Martian had said and made their way towards her.
"You are not the only one," Aayla Secura said. "Earlier on, we have felt the same presence."
"It feels somewhat… familiar." Miss Martian stated.
"Do you think it's Xion?" Ahsoka asked as Erica, who was still invisible, backed away. "She can use any of our Powers, you know."
"You can sense me," Erica said to herself. "Of course you do. We share the same blood… M'gann."
"I was just… so certain someone was there." Miss Martian stated.
Ahsoka shrugged. "Well, maybe a meal at Dex's Diner could help clear our minds," she suggested. "After all, we could really use some time to see how the Coruscant Underworld is doing after the Missile Strike."
"Indeed," Master Obi-Wan Kenobi agreed. "You don't mind checking out the status of the Underworld, do you?" he asked.
"No, not at all," Miss Martian said. "It would definitely be a nice change of pace."
"Come on," Ahsoka said, grabbing Miss Martian by the shoulder. "I'm sure he has something nice there."
Erica narrowed her eyes at Ahsoka and Miss Martian as they made their way out of the Jedi Temple. She slowly levitated into the air and followed them. She watched as the two met up with the rest of the Young Justice to tell them about what was going on.
"You having any trouble in the Temple?" Robin asked.
"No," Miss Martian started out. "But I do have this feeling that I'm being watched over, and by a familiar presence too."
"We decided to take a break, see how the Underworld is doing from Xion's attack," Ahsoka explained. "If the Jedi Masters ask where we are, you think you can tell them?"
"Of course," Aqualad replied. "We will tell them of your short leave."
"Be careful out there, okay, M'gann?" Superboy said to Miss Martian.
"Don't worry about me, Connor," Miss Martian replied with a chuckle. "I'm going to be fine."
"Yeah," Ahsoka said in agreement. "We've got each other. I'm sure we can take on whatever comes our way."
Serra nodded. "Just be sure not to get killed out there," the Shan said. "There are still some Criminals running about."
Ahsoka and Miss Martian both nodded. They walked down the steps of the Jedi Temple. As they did, they looked up to where Rocket was. Rocket, in Ghost Mode, nodded back to the two and opened up her Energy Barrier a little bit to let Ahsoka and M'gann leave. As soon as they did, she closed it once again.
Down in the Coruscant Underworld, Xion was walking around with her robe covering up her body. She wanted to draw as little attention to herself as she could. Anyone down there could be after her. After all, she was the one who sent ballistic missiles to both Coruscant and Serenno.
"Is this really right for me?" Xion asked herself. "To be seeking Power in such a way? I am a Sith Apprentice. I must do what needs to be done." She said to herself before walking in to Dex's Diner.
Hermione walked up to Xion, and tried to look under her Cloak. However, with a simple gesture of her hand, Xion made Hermione go away, getting Dex's attention as to what was going on. The four-armed bartender walked up to Xion and sat down across from where she was sitting.
"You don't have to hide from me… Xion," Dex said sternly. "I know it's you under there."
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked to Xion. Xion sighed and lifted up her hood, revealing her face. Immediately, everyone in the room took out their Blasters and aimed them at Xion, knowing how she caused the destruction in their Underworld.
"I guess… you know Jedi enough to see right through them and Sith," Xion mused. "I can sense anger all around me right now."
"Gee, you wouldn't have thought that from what you've done?!" one of the Bounty Hunters in the Diner drawled.
"There's a big price on your head!" another Bounty Hunter remarked. "We're gonna get it one way or the other."
Xion sighed. "Very well," she said, placing her hands down. All the Bounty Hunters did was holster their Blasters and take out either bigger Blasters or Blasters with more rounds in them. Xion placed some blank Credits on the table. Everyone still kept their weapons aimed, however. "Jawa Juice, please."
Dex narrowed his eyes at the Credits. He looked back up. "You mean no harm, do you?" he asked.
"You saw right through me again," Xion mused. "Yes, you can say that. I'm just… a little lost in my thoughts right now, that's all."
Dex placed his hand behind him, grabbing some Jawa Juice and putting it in front of Xion. "Drink up," he said. "But if you pull out a lightsaber, I'm calling the authorities."
Xion just lightly picked up the cup of Jawa Juice and started to drink from it. As she did, Ahsoka and Miss Martian came into the Diner. There was too much on their minds at the time, and they hardly noticed Xion at the front table.
"Hey there, Dex," Ahsoka said as she and M'gann sat down across from one another. "You have any of that special meat from last time?"
"Oh, that," Dex said in a friendly way to Ahsoka. A Bounty Hunter sighed and walked up to Dex, handing him some of the meat before Dex placed a small bag of Blank Credits in his hand. "It'll be right up!"
Miss Martian smiled. "Boy, Coruscant's Underworld sure seems to be getting better here," she mused. "It's good to know that Kalifa played a role in restoring this place."
"Yeah," Ahsoka said with a nod as a Droid rolled up with a tray of Jawa Juice. The Droid put the tray down, and Ahsoka took a sip of her Jawa Juice. "Xion might have done a number on this place, but if everyone keeps rebuilding, no one will be feared by her again."
"Your meat, girls?" Dex asked, coming over to Ahsoka and Miss Martian.
"Oh, yes, thank you," Ahsoka said as Dex put the meat and gravy down in front of them. "We'll be sure to pay you back. Thanks, Dex."
"Oh, no, keep your money," Dex said. "You all have done so much to keep our hopes alive." Dex stated before walking away.
"You know, Ahsoka, I think that my grow of powers could be a good sign," Miss Martian said. "If we just keep our guards up, I'm sure that we can take down any threat that might be after us."
Ahsoka chuckled and put some meat in the gravy while putting the hot sauce Wally offered to Dex. "We can't get overconfident, you know," the Togruta Padawan said. "The Sith of all sides could be waiting to attack us."
"Oh, you never know," Xion said as she got up from her seat. Miss Martian had just finished eating some of her meat before the two looked to see Xion advance towards them. "They could be around, and you would never know it."
"Xion!" Ahsoka exclaimed, activating her lightsaber. Miss Martian gaped and did the same. "How did you get here?!"
"Ahsoka, you always jump to conclusions," Xion teased. "If I were here to cause some destruction, then this Diner would be nothing but rocks by now."
"It's no surprise that you're here," Miss Martian said sternly. "There's someone after me for my Powers… and I suspect it's you."
Xion just chuckled and crossed her arms. "Before you come to the right conclusion," the Offspring of Messiah started out. "Maybe you'd like to take this elsewhere. After all, we can't cause any damage, now can we?" Xion quibbled.
Ahsoka and Miss Martian both looked to each other and deactivated their lightsabers. "Very well," Ahsoka said. "We'll take this outside."
Xion sighed. "That's what I thought." She drawled. She started to walk out the door. All of the Bounty Hunters watched as Ahsoka and Miss Martian started to follow her.
"Team, Xion is down here," Miss Martian said through the Psychic Link. "Tell the Council. Tell them she's in the Coruscant Underworld."
"She's there?!" Artemis exclaimed. "How did she—?"
"Look, do you want to know now, or wait until she attacks us?" Ahsoka asked as Xion grinned. "Tell the Masters… now!"
Zatanna nodded. "Understood," the mage said. "Stay put. We're gonna report this to the Council immediately."
"You'll have to go on without me," Rocket said. "I'm busy doing you-know-what."
"Stay there, Rocket," Robin ordered. "Keep the Barrier up. No one's stopping you."
Rocket nodded and continued to hold up the Barrier. She watched as the rest of the Young Justice made their way inside of the Temple so that they could alert the Jedi Masters that Xion was present on Coruscant.
Ahsoka, Miss Martian and Xion were now at a warehouse, the same one Ahsoka was arrested at a long time ago. Now, it was abandoned for good. No supplies were being held inside, nor were there any machines running either.
"Look, there was something on my mind," Xion said to the Togruta and the Martian. "I was considering going after you, but something was telling me otherwise."
"'Otherwise' what?" Ahsoka asked. "You'd bring down the Underworld to get our attention?"
Xion shook her head. "I wouldn't go that far," she stated. "But I think that… while I'm here… I should probably eliminate you, Tano, and bring Miss Martian for the ORDER to experiment on." Xion said sadistically.
"I don't think so!" Miss Martian exclaimed as she and Ahsoka immediately activated their lightsabers.
"So be it." Xion spat, unsheathing the Xiphon. She twirled it around before activating its black blade.
Ahsoka, Miss Martian and Xion all saluted one another with their lightsabers before charging. Immediately, Xion struck with a Vaapad strike, but Miss Martian blocked it and let Ahsoka strike with Soresu. Xion grinned at Ahsoka as the two locked blades before she threw her off. Xion turned around, seeing Miss Martian coming in to attack next, but Xion blocked her attack. Miss Martian spun around and used Ataru to strike again, knocking Xion back. Fortunately, Xion managed to regain herself as Ahsoka charged in again, the two clashing without end. Xion used one hand to hold the Xiphon to fight off Ahsoka before sliding to the side to avoid a downwards slash from her. Ahsoka dashed to the side, where she struck at Xion once more, but Xion knocked Ahsoka to the side before Miss Martian flew in and attacked again. Xion blocked her blade and struck down low, where Ahsoka was attacking. Ahsoka struck at Xion high before she started to use Soresu against Xion. Xion managed to throw her back, but not before she turned around to slash Miss Martian away.
Elsewhere over Coruscant, Jana had just arrived. She could sense where Miss Martian was, even from the air. She roared in her Phoenix Form and flew down towards the Coruscant Underworld.
Everyone on the ground looked up to the Phoenix as it flew down. They all screamed and ran away as Jana shot down fire. She started to dash towards the warehouse where Ahsoka and Miss Martian were battling Xion, and her Phoenix Wings twirled around so that they were at her legs. Her lower talons started to unfold so that her human legs could be formed. Her chest started to split open, where Jana's arms spread out and grasped themselves into fists. Finally, the head of the Phoenix unfolded, revealing Jana's face, yellow-eyed and black veins connecting from her eyes to the rest of her body, signifying her Dark Side affiliation. The rest of her Cloak, which had formed her wings, unfurled so that it would let itself down to her feet. Jana unsheathed her lightsaber and spun around as she flew towards the battle, hiding behind some crates and barrels where Ahsoka and Miss Martian were battling.
Xion continued to clash with Ahsoka and Miss Martian. Both of the Jedi, however, were proving to be much more of a challenge than they were the last time they had fought. Soon, the two unsheathed their secondary lightsabers and slashed Xion away, the latter of who was very much surprised.
"It's about time we finished this, Xion." Ahsoka said sternly.
"You've fought your last fight!" Miss Martian exclaimed as Ahsoka thrust her lightsaber downwards. Miss Martian followed and did the same before they both slashed upwards and slashing back down soon afterwards.
"Don't worry, Ahsoka," Jana said quietly as she raised her arm up. "I'll put you out of your overdue misery, and take the Martian for myself."
Xion stood prepared to form her own twisted version of SokaTan just as Ahsoka and Miss Martian completed their SokaTan Trinity Symbol. The two held their lightsabers back and prepared to send it towards Xion.
"Now!" Jana called out quietly, shooting Sith Lightning at Ahsoka and Miss Martian.
Ahsoka and Miss Martian were just about to send forth their SokaTan Attacks until a sudden surge of Lightning hit them in the back. The two girls shrieked in pain before they fell over the side. Their lightsabers deactivated as they fell down, the two now unconscious.
Xion gasped with horror and looked to where the Lightning came from, seeing Jana.
"I… I did it!" Jana said to herself, jumping down to the ground below, unaware that Xion had seen everything.
"Oh, how it pains me to do this, Togruta Filth," Jana said sadistically to Ahsoka as she and Miss Martian continued to lie unconscious. "I'm going to enjoy taking your place as Anakin Skywalker's Padawan, and eliminating the Martian who had ruined my life!" she exclaimed. She activated her lightsaber and raised it up, preparing to kill Ahsoka and Miss Martian.
"Hold it right there, Coward!" Xion yelled out angrily. She leapt down and slashed at Jana.
Jana looked up with confusion and blocked Xion's enhanced Vaapad Attack. Jana found herself getting pushed back, but used a Hurikane Technique to throw Xion away. The two stared each other down viciously.
"Who the hell are you?!" Jana demanded.
"That's my line!" Xion spat as she stood ready with a battle stance that was a combination of Ataru and Vaapad. "Why did you strike down Ahsoka Tano and Miss Martian?!" she demanded. "Answer me! Answer the Daughter of Sylas and the Offspring of Messiah!"
"Sylas? The Sith who nearly defeated me four years ago?!" Jana exclaimed. "If you're his Daughter, you're in my way! I have a score to settle with the Togruta Scum and the Martian known as the Lost One, so buzz off! This is none of your business… not yet, at least."
Xion swung around the Xiphon. "A vendetta against Ahsoka Tano and Miss Martian?" she asked. She walked over towards the two. "So, I guess you're right. This is none of my business."
"Kill them!" Jana ordered. "I've seen the battle long enough! You'd benefit from this too since they're your enemies!"
Xion leveled the Xiphon at Ahsoka and Miss Martian's heads before letting out a scoff. "They may be pests, but they are not my enemies," Xion remarked before turning back around. "My enemies… are those who would shoot the strong in the back!" she yelled out, using Kid Flash's speed to dash towards Jana.
Jana gasped as Xion slashed down at her. Jana blocked this attack, but was unable to counter a Makashi Jab from Xion soon after. Jana felt a pain at her chest. It slowly started to heal, but Xion unleashed all of her rage against Jana for using such a low and cowardly tactic against Ahsoka and M'gann. She Force-Lifted Jana into the air, but Jana transformed back into her Phoenix Form and breathed fire down onto Xion, who countered back with Sith Fire, knocking Jana back into Cyborg Form before she was brutally kicked away. Jana struggled to get up, but Xion would not allow this. She thrust her lightsaber down, slashed up, and slashed back down again, forming her jagged version of SokaTan. She spun around and sent the jagged Trinity Emblem towards Jana, knocking her through the wall, where Xion sent more Sith Fire. Jana was just about to fall into the fire, but she turned into a Phoenix once again and flew to Xion. Xion just stood there and held the Xiphon up to Jana's face.
"You know what this is, Stranger?" Xion questioned. "This is the Xiphon. I can steal the Force out of anyone who gets in my way, and as of right now, you've just made the top of my list!"
Jana growled. "Bask in your glory, Xion, Daughter of Sylas, but I'll be back!" Jana roared before flying away. "I'm not through with any of you!"
Xion snarled and sheathed the Xiphon. She looked down to Ahsoka and Miss Martian, still unconscious. She grabbed their bodies and turned them around, placing her ear up to Ahsoka's chest first. She heard a heartbeat and moved onto Miss Martian. Just like Ahsoka, she also heard a heartbeat coming from her chest. Xion looked down to the two and picked them up in her arms, carrying them out of the warehouse.
Up above, the Young Justice came to the entrance to the Coruscant Underworld with Jedi Masters Mace Windu, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Knight Anakin Skywalker.
"You are certain that Xion is down there?" Mace Windu asked.
"Ahsoka and M'gann reported it," Superboy said. He started to activate his jetpack so he could fly down. "Come on! We don't have much—"
"Superboy, look!" Aqualad called out, pointing to something in the distance.
Everyone looked to see Xion carrying Ahsoka Tano and Miss Martian on her shoulders. She walked past the Young Justice, the two Jedi Council Masters, and Anakin Skywalker. All of them looked to Xion as she walked all the way towards the front of the stairs leading to the Jedi Temple.
Rocket looked down and gasped as she saw Ahsoka and Miss Martian unconscious. However, instead of attacking her or trying to attack the Temple, Xion put the two Jedi down. She unsheathed the Xiphon and sliced her robe into two equal pieces. She knelt down and placed them over Ahsoka and Miss Martian's bodies before Anakin, Obi-Wan, Mace and the Young Justice ran over.
"What did you do to them?" Lux demanded.
"Someone, not me, cowardly attacked them from behind," Xion said. "Not even I or anyone of the ORDER would dare to use such a dirty move," she stated. "I may be a Sith, born to kill, but I frown upon the sight of someone trying to shoot such strong and worthy opponents while they have their backs turned."
Obi-Wan placed his hand on his chin. "I know you have a track record of killing Jedi and trying to drain them of their Force, but for once, I can sense that you are telling the truth here," the Negotiator said. "Can you try and give as much detail as you can on who the attacker was?"
"Just like that?!" Jaybo exclaimed. "She has untapped into the stronger and deeper Dark Side of the Force! She is lying!"
"She lay waste to Coruscant!" Saw added on. "You really think you can trust her?!"
"She has carried Ahsoka and Miss Martian back without making an attack on any of us," Anakin stated. "No one would do that, nor would they offer their clothing to help them recover."
"The attacker had a red Cloak, resembling a Phoenix," Xion said. Everyone turned to her. Even Rocket flew down to listen, but she still kept the barrier up just in case. "She had blonde hair, with a streak of red. Her eyes were yellow, and her veins were filled with the Power of the Dark Side. I could not get a name out of her, though."
Mace Windu nodded as the rest of the Young Justice prepared to attack Xion should she try anything. "I see," Master Windu said. "For now, we thank you. But if you attack with hostile force again, we will not hesitate to strike you down."
Xion grinned. "I look forward to the day," she mused. She got into a leaping position and winked at everyone. "Until we meet again, May the Force be with you." She bid before leaping up, retreating back to the Marauder with the rest of the ORDER.
Erica was watching the entire thing. Her eyes widened when she heard the description of the attacker. She immediately knew it was Jana.
"So, Jana actually took my advice?" Erica asked herself. "She's going to catch onto me sooner or later. I'll need Jana in order to get revenge on Miss Martian and purify my body." She said to herself before phasing through the Doors of the Jedi Temple.
Later on, inside of the Jedi Temple Healing Hall, Jedi Healer Rig Nema was tending to Ahsoka Tano and Miss Martian. Anakin Skywalker and Superboy watched over her as she tapped into the Force to heal their wounds before taking out a datapad and then made some records. After some moments of typing into the datapad, she got out of her seat and walked to Anakin and Connor.
"How are they?" Anakin asked. "I don't want to lose Ahsoka again."
Rig Nema continued to record her findings. She finished up and looked to Anakin Skywalker and Connor Kent. "Those two are strong with the Force, probably even higher than you are," the Jedi Healer reported. "Both of them took a strong, but unusual blast of Force Lightning. I am recommending that they take at least twenty minutes of rest once they wake up, and some special Healing Water to help wear away the effects of the Force Lightning."
"Both of them, or just one?" Connor asked.
Rig Nema nodded. "Oh," she replied in understanding. "Well, in that case, both of them need this treatment. It shouldn't be anything too serious, but they will both need rest and a leave of absence on combat with any outside forces. Until their wounds heal, I will see to it that they do not fight for a while."
Erica watched from not too far away. "So, they're vulnerable for now, huh?" she asked to no one in particular. "Good. It gives me a perfect chance to strike them down while they don't expect me." She said to herself. She unsheathed her own lightsaber and prepared to strike down at Ahsoka and take Miss Martian for herself.
All of a sudden, Ahsoka and Miss Martian started to come to. Erica gasped quietly and sheathed her lightsaber hilt. Anakin Skywalker, Connor Kent and Rig Nema looked to see the two girls get up. Immediately, both Anakin and Connor rushed to Ahsoka and Miss Martian's sides.
"You okay, Snips?" Anakin asked.
"Come on, M'gann, say something!" Connor begged, holding onto Miss Martian's hand.
"What… what happened?" Ahsoka asked. "How did we end up here?"
Miss Martian rubbed her head. "I remember we were fighting Xion, and were preparing to use a double SokaTan Strike against her, but then…" M'gann trailed off, still feeling a bit dizzy. "Something his us."
"I know it wasn't Xion. She was right in front of us!" Ahsoka exclaimed.
"It wasn't Xion, ironically," Anakin said, causing Ahsoka to turn to look to her Master. "We don't know who it is, but Xion says she fought off the attacker, and brought you and M'gann back to the Temple."
"Jedi Masters Eeth Koth and Ajnin Storm are looking for anyone who fits the description Xion gave us right now," Superboy went on as Miss Martian turned to look to her boyfriend. "They're not going to stop until they find out who did this to you."
Ahsoka chuckled. "Well, for once, Xion was battling us, and she didn't blindside us?" the Togruta mused as Miss Martian let out a chuckle. "That's what you call irony in your enemies, as well as knowing that whoever attacked us would be the enemy of our enemy, but not our friend," Ahsoka went on. "Right, M'gann?"
"Something like that," Miss Martian replied back. "Still, I know that Xion wasn't after me for my Powers, and if she were, I wouldn't be here right now."
"Yeah," Ahsoka said in agreement with a nod. "It seems like we owe her when we clash swords next time."
Erica could only narrow her eyes at Ahsoka and Miss Martian. She quietly sheathed her lightsaber, but M'gann started to look around. Erica gasped as Miss Martian now turned her attention to where she was. Nervous that she would be discovered, Erica quickly hid away, but Miss Martian could still sense her presence.
"Dr. Nema says that you can leave now, but prescribes rest from all combat," Anakin said. "I don't mean to offend you, but I take her word for it. If there is someone trying to gun you down, I don't want to take any chances with you."
Ahsoka and Miss Martian nodded. "Agreed, Skyguy," Ahsoka replied. "We should probably lay low and relax until we know what is fully going on."
Miss Martian got out of her bed and put what she thought were her boots onto her feet. "Come on, Ahsoka," the Martian female called out to her Togruta friend. "How about we use those Hurikane Crystals for our lightsabers?"
Ahsoka nodded and got out of her own bed, putting on what she believed to be her own boots. "Sure, M'gann," the Togruta replied in agreement. "I wouldn't mind trying that out."
Miss Martian chuckled as she and Ahsoka walked towards each other. However, when the two looked down to each others' feet, they blushed.
"These are… your shoes." Miss Martian realized with embarrassment.
"And these are your shoes," Ahsoka mused. "No wonder they felt tight."
Ahsoka and Miss Martian chuckled nervously, literally stepping out of each others' shoes. The two female Jedi were now barefoot again as they circled around and switched positions with one another, Ahsoka putting on her own boots while M'gann put her own boots on. The two laughed at this before leaving the room.
"I need more time to strike at Miss Martian," Erica said to herself as she sat down on the bed where Ahsoka was sitting. Anakin and Superboy followed Ahsoka and Miss Martian out the door, but Dr. Rig Nema noticed that something invisible was on Ahsoka's bed. "Looks like I'm going to have to call in some reinforcements." Erica deducted before getting up.
Rig Nema wasn't about to let this strange occurrence pass. She unsheathed her lightsaber and sent a Force Push exactly where Erica was. Erica gasped as she was sent back into a table. She groaned and came out of hiding, revealing her ghostly form, her body hardly visible to the naked eye. She rubbed her head and quickly went back into hiding to avoid being seen. She was about to make her way out the door while she was still undetected, but unfortunately, she had already been noticed. As Jedi Healer Rig Nema aimed her lightsaber at Erica's neck.
"Who are you?" Rig Nema demanded. "I know you're there, and there's no use in hiding. Tell me who you are right now, and state your business! Who are you working for?!"
"Well, Hello there, Dr. Nema," Erica said, unsheathing her crossguard lightsaber. "I was wondering when someone would notice me."
"It is not difficult to see someone using a Force Cloak after leaving a few clues behind," Rig remarked. "Now, answer me. Who, and what, are you?"
Erica activated her crossguard lightsaber, the blade glowing green at first before turning into a yellow shade. "Don't you remember old Erica Sustrai?" Erica questioned. "If you don't remember me, you should at least remember my Master, Jana Starr."
"Jana Starr is dead!" Rig exclaimed. "I don't know you, Erica, but I do know you are coming with me right now!" she exclaimed, slashing at Erica.
Erica sheathed her short end of her crossguard lightsaber and locked blades with Rig Nema in a ninety degree angle saber-lock. She reactivated the shorter blade and kept her lightsaber locked with Rig's. Erica swung her lightsaber wide, swinging Rig Nema with her. Rig Nema nearly fell to the ground, but the Jedi Healer used the Force to regain herself and counter back with an Ataru Strike. Erica was scarred in the face before she struck back with Niman. Rig Nema blocked this attack before blocking a Soresu Attack. Now, the Jedi Healer found herself being backed away out the door, where Erica spun around and slashed at her again. Dr. Rig Nema was forced to use both hands on her lightsaber to keep momentum as she and Erica locked blades with another. Erica stared Rig Nema down savagely, and even though Rig Nema couldn't see Erica's invisible face, she glared back. Rig spun around and kicked Erica to the Halls, where several other Jedi, Katooni, Petro, Maris Brood, Pix, Zett Jukassa and Caleb Dume being amongst them. They all looked with awe at the yellow lightsaber blade seeming to stick out of thin air.
Rig Nema leapt down to strike at Erica, but Erica rolled over and slashed her lightsaber behind her, nearly cutting down Maris Brood. The female Zabrak Jedi gasped and unsheathed her azure lightsaber tonfas, striking back at Erica. Erica turned around and slashed at Maris, but she used her unique fighting technique with her lightsaber tonfas to block the attacks with her left lightsaber tonfa before she spun around her right lightsaber tonfa and struck back. Erica blocked this, but Dr. Rig Nema struck back at the same time.
"Get the Masters!" Maris Brood called out to the rest of her fellow Jedi. "We have an intruder!"
"Got it!" Katooni called out.
"Guards! We have an intruder!" Zett Jukassa called out as several Temple Guards ran over with their Yellow Double-Bladed Lightsabers activated.
One of the Temple Guards attempted to strike down Erica while she was still locking blades with Rig Nema and Maris Brood, but Erica elbowed the Guard and stole his lightsaber. She threw both Rig Nema and Maris Brood off of her, but the two spun to the side. The two watched as a Yellow Double-Bladed Lightsaber and a Yellow Crossguard Lightsaber twirled around in thin air. Both of them aimed at Rig and Maris in a Niman Battle Stance. Rig and Maris activated their lightsabers once again and charged at Erica, but now that Erica had four blades, she was able to back them away.
"You are outnumbered!" Maris spat, punching in thin air towards Erica. "Whoever you're working for, you can tell her you have failed!"
"I would beg to differ," Erica spat, her body becoming a little visible, but still transparent. "I'm not the only one after Miss Martian, you know. By calling the Guards here, you have left her open for the rest of my comrades to attack her and Ahsoka Tano."
"What?!" Maris exclaimed. "It can't be!"
In the Meditation Hall, Ahsoka and Miss Martian were using empty lightsaber hilts stolen from Sarbris Rufio to customize. Ahsoka decided to base her new lightsaber off of her Master's Lightsaber, with a hint of her own lightsaber, similar to her new one after gaining Barriss's lightsaber from Earth, and Miss Martian was constructing a lightsaber based on Ahsoka's own lightsaber. Both of them concentrated hard as the parts of the lightsabers started to connect with each other. The two sensed that they had completed their lightsabers, but before they could fully complete their new hilts, they placed the new Hurikane Crystals inside. The two reached their hands out and grabbed their new lightsabers. Slowly, Ahsoka and Miss Martian opened up their eyes and activated them. They both smiled when they saw the violet blades spring to life.
"We really have to thank Master Windu for giving us these Crystals." Miss Martian said.
"You've got that right!" Ahsoka exclaimed. "I can feel more of the Power of the Force flowing through me right now."
Miss Martian nodded. "Come on," she said. "It won't be long until more Masters arrive to meditate or—"
"M'gann, look out!" Ahsoka yelled, grabbing Miss Martian by the hair and pulling her back.
Miss Martian gasped as she was pulled away. Ahsoka and Miss Martian looked to see several lightsabers, all with crimson blades, fly towards them. They managed to get out of the way in time, but activated their new lightsabers to see what was going on, as well as see who made the attack.
Through the door came a black-dressed woman with yellow eyes. She seemed to be a Tholothian, and at her sides were two lightsaber hilts that had emitter shrouds that resembled wings. Her eyes seemed to glow as she looked to Ahsoka and Miss Martian.
"Ahsoka… who is that?" Miss Martian asked.
"I don't know," Ahsoka replied back. "I've never seen her before."
The Tholothian walked up to Ahsoka and Miss Martian, but still stood near the door. "Are you Miss Martian, also known as M'gann M'orzz, also known as Megan Morse?" the Tholothian asked.
"What's it to you?" Miss Martian questioned.
"I am Maeve, and I have been looking for you, as well as you, Ahsoka Tano," the Tholothian replied back. "My Master has been looking for the two of you, and—"
Ahsoka shot an energized arrow at Maeve, temporarily knocking her off-guard. Both Ahsoka and Miss Martian took this chance to run out the door, but they suddenly found a silver lightsaber blade, a grey lightsaber blade, a navy lightsaber blade, and a white lightsaber aimed at their necks.
Ahsoka and Miss Martian looked in front of them to see a Thanagarian from Earth-16 holding the silver-bladed lightsaber, a Zabrak male holding the navy lightsaber, a Pau'an female holding the grey lightsaber, and an Ithorian armed with the white lightsaber.
Ahsoka and Miss Martian backed away as the Tholothian female unsheathed both of her lightsabers, the blades shining golden.
"I thought you two might try a move like that," Maeve quipped as she and the four other unknown figures advanced towards Ahsoka and Miss Martian slowly. "I always prepare."
Ahsoka and Miss Martian activated their lightsabers and stared down at their five enemies.
"Look, I don't understand what's going on," Ahsoka said. "I don't know what you want, I don't know what your Master wants, but we are not going with you!" the Togruta yelled.
Maeve said nothing as she and the rest of the Force Sensitives continued to advance upon them.
"Do you hear us?!" Miss Martian exclaimed. "Shove it up your ass! We are not coming with you!"
Maeve spun around her twin lightsabers and slashed down at Miss Martian. Miss Martian gasped as she brought her lightsabers up for defense, blocking the unexpected Niman attack with a Niman Defensive Stance.
"Get her!" the Thanagarian male called out.
"You'll have to get past me first!" Ahsoka proclaimed, activating her Double-Bladed Lightsaber and her new Hurikane Crystal-Powered Lightsaber at once.
"Guys, there are intruders here!" Miss Martian called out as she and Maeve clashed blades with one another. "We could really use some help here!"
"We see it!" Superboy replied back. "We're on our way!"
All of a sudden, Serra sensed something. She ran in front of the rest of the Young Justice and activated her lightsabers, coming face-to-face with the Sith Lord who had attacked them earlier, Lord Siege.
"Siege!" Serra exclaimed. "You're not getting away this time!" she proclaimed. She combined her two emerald lightsabers to form a Double-Bladed Lightsaber while she took out Satele Shan's Blue Double-Bladed Lightsaber.
"We are giving you once chance, and one chance only," Aqualad said dangerously as he unsheathed his Water-Bearers. "Move."
"I think not," Siege replied, unsheathing his lightsaber. He placed it near his head, aiming it at Serra and the Young Justice. "My Master has been waiting far too long to get her hands on Ahsoka Tano and Miss Martian, and I shall not fail her again… not while there are more of us to strike this time."
"He's not kidding!" Petro called out.
Everyone looked up to see Katooni and Petro run in and jump into the air. They both activated their lightsabers and brought them down onto Lord Siege, but Siege just threw them off before Zett slashed at him from the side. Katooni and Petro regained themselves and slashed at Siege as well, all three blades locking with Siege's. Siege held his ground before he eventually sent Katooni, Petro and Zett off towards where the Young Justice were prepared to fight.
"There's an invisible attacker being taken on by Dr. Rig Nema and Maris Brood! We've been compromised!" Zett Jukassa exclaimed.
"We don't know how this happened," Pix said as she rushed in, slashing at Siege from one side. Siege blocked the strike before Pix quickly twirled around and slashed at Siege from the other side. Siege had no time to react, and Pix kicked him away. "But these attackers seem to have one thing in common: they all want Ahsoka and Miss Martian."
"Oh, give the girl a prize," Siege said sarcastically. "Nothing's going to stop us from getting the Lost One."
"You'll never get the chance!" Serra yelled out, using Force Speed to dash at Siege and bring her blades down onto him,
Meanwhile, Miss Martian was being sent over the edge of the Meditation Hall and to the lower level. Aayla Secura, Bultar Swan, Coleman Kcaj and K'Kruhk all looked to Miss Martian as she fell. As she was getting up, she saw Maeve leap down after her. Maeve slashed at Miss Martian with an overhead Ataru strike, but Miss Martian rolled low and struck with a backhand Makashi strike. Maeve blocked the Makashi Jab with her left lightsaber and struck back with the same-handed lightsaber. However, Miss Martian kicked Maeve's hand away, allowing her to strike with her right blade. All Maeve did was counter back with her golden blade in her right hand, locking with Miss Martian. Both of the powerful swordsmen kept their blades locked low with one another before Miss Martian brought her right hand up, punching Maeve away to a corner.
Maeve managed to regain herself. Once she did, she charged at Miss Martian, who charged back at Maeve in response. M'gann brought down both of her blades onto Maeve as she used a pincer attack to try and slice the Martian female in half. This, however, did no good, as Miss Martian managed to phase her body so that Maeve's lightsabers would do her no harm. Maeve gasped and looked up to Miss Martian as she sent Maeve a grin. Miss Martian ran through Maeve, still invisible, and kicked her towards the edge of the lower level before backflipping away. Both Miss Martian and Maeve kicked off of the walls and jabbed their lightsabers at each other, Maeve with her left blade and Miss Martian with her right.
Ahsoka battled against the four rogue Jedi. The Thanagarian, known as Metus, slashed down at Ahsoka, but Ahsoka used her Double-Bladed Lightsaber to knock away Metus's Saberstaff before locking blades with the female Pau'an, known as Dalyn. Dalyn split apart her grey lightsaber, revealing a short shoto from the bottom of the hilt. She attempted to stab Ahsoka in the head with the grey shoto, but Ahsoka countered back by using Soresu to swiftly parry the blade off to the side. As she did, she kicked away the Ithorian known as Ryouma. Ryouma growled and slashed at Ahsoka's chest with his white lightsaber, but Ahsoka ducked and allowed him to clash blades with the Zabrak known as Kougane.
Ahsoka suddenly came face-to-face with Dalyn once again. Ahsoka and Dalyn narrowed their eyes at one another before the two struck with their main lightsaber and secondary blade. Ahsoka's new Hurikane Lightsaber met Dalyn's shoto. The two tried to gain momentum over one another until Ahsoka shot at Dalyn using her Arm-Mounted Crossbow Gauntlet. Dalyn gasped and used her main lightsaber to deflect the energized arrows. Ahsoka continued to open fire on Dalyn until Kougane struck at her from behind. Ahsoka spun around and swept her feet underneath Kougane's own feet, felling him to the ground. She soon found herself battling against Metus and Ryouma once again, Ryouma sending out sonic screams. Ahsoka made a Light Barrier to protect herself and used both of her lightsabers to take on Metus. Ahsoka and Metus clashed fiercely with one another before they were both caught in a blade-lock. Ahsoka ran across the room and continued to keep her blades locked with Metus while avoiding blasts from Ryouma. Metus brought his fist back and tried to punch Ahsoka in the face, but Ahsoka brought the three lightsabers up and sliced his hand off. Metus screamed in pain right as Ahsoka blasted Light at his chest.
Ryouma growled and slashed at Ahsoka, with Dalyn and Kougane joining in. Ahsoka unleashed the blades from her Arm-Mounted Crossbow Gauntlets and clashed with all three rogue Jedi at once. Seeing that her blades were caught with theirs, Ahsoka spun around, causing Ryouma, Kougane and Dalyn to be flipped over.
Rig Nema and Maris continued to fight off against Erica, who was giving them a much more difficult time fighting. Erica laughed and turned invisible, deactivating both of her lightsabers in the process.
"Padawan Brood, remember your training," Rig Nema said to Maris. "Use the Force around you to sense this attacker."
"I'm already on it," Maris said as she closed her eyes. She opened them up again, seeing a figure move through her Force Sight. The figure dashed forwards and lashed out at Maris. "There!" Maris called out, throwing a lightsaber tonfa forwards to counter Erica.
Erica used her stolen Double-Bladed Lightsaber to knock the lightsaber tonfa away before Rig used a backhand Djem So Strike against Erica. Erica countered back and locked with Rig Nema using Vaapad. Both were on equal ground until Erica suddenly noticed that Maris had disappeared from the scene.
"What?!" Erica called out.
"Looking for me?" Maris's voice came out from nowhere. "You're not the only one who has this power, you know!" she exclaimed, disorienting Erica's vision. Erica struggled to get a clear sight of things before Maris appeared behind Erica and slashed at her back, sending Erica to the ground. She became slightly visible again, but her body was still warped and transparent.
Rig Nema and Maris Brood approached Erica, but all three female Force Warriors suddenly sensed something strong within the Force. Seeing that Rig and Maris were distracted, and that an opportunity had come to her, Erica took it and turned invisible once again, getting away from the area to find Miss Martian once more.
Aqualad slammed his Water-Bearers down onto Lord Siege. Siege managed to lock his blades with Aqualad, the two in a standoff. Both opponents stared each other down intensely before Aqualad formed scythes from his Water-Bearer Swords, swinging them at Lord Siege. Siege backed away from Aqualad, where he was met by arrows and Birdarangs from Artemis and Robin.
"You'll pay for going after M'gann!" Superboy yelled, punching Siege across the face. Lord Siege was unprepared to counter back, and was sent near the window. There, Serra charged and slashed down at him. Siege used Ataru to knock Serra back a bit, where the two locked blades with one another. As they were locked in their standoff, Siege head-butted Serra, knocking her back.
"Dne Drol Egeis won!" Zatanna incanted, causing lightning and meteors to rain down onto Lord Siege.
Lord Siege took notice of Zatanna's spell and used Force Speed to teleport over to the magician. He slashed at her with Shii-Cho, but Zatanna took out her Golden Energy Ichor Sword and blocked Siege's attack. Serra readied her Arm-Mounted Crossbow Gauntlet and shot at Lord Siege.
Siege turned around and held Zatanna up, letting her take the hit. Zatanna groaned before getting tossed to the side. Robin growled and ran at Siege.
"How dare you!" Robin exclaimed, taking out his bola sticks and sending explosive Birdarangs towards Lord Siege. Siege placed his lightsaber out in front of him for defense, not expecting this much rage from the Boy Wonder. Explosions flew across Lord Siege as he was backed away. Afterwards, Robin slammed his bola sticks down onto Siege, who could only block them as Robin attacked with an unstoppable onslaught. The hidden Sith Lord growled and kicked Robin away, just as Serra and Katooni charged at him, with Petro, Zett Jukassa and Pix coming in behind them.
Siege wiped some blood off of his lip. He looked to his own lightsaber and grinned. He sent Serra, Katooni, Zett, Petro and Pix a smirk before he tossed his lightsaber at them. Serra and Katooni both gasped and threw the lightsaber off to the side, but much to the surprise of everyone, Siege unsheathed a secondary lightsaber that looked just like his original one. He clashed his secret lightsaber with Serra before catching his original one and slashing down at Katooni. Katooni managed to hold her ground against Siege, using Soresu to block off the attack and then switch to Niman to strike back at Siege. Lord Siege now armed himself with both of his lightsabers before throwing the two off. Kid Flash dashed at him with the lightsabers stolen from Sarbris Rufio and struck at Lord Siege. Lord Siege blocked the Speedster's attacks before he suddenly found himself trapped inside of an Energy Bubble.
Rocket came in, flying down with her Sword drawn.
"No one gets past my Barrier and gets away with it!" Rocket called out, slashing down at Lord Siege. Lord Siege growled and slashed Rocket away, where she continued to form Energy Bubbles to blast at Lord Siege. Siege deflected the blasts until he found himself being backed away to the window once more.
Aqualad and Robin ran over to Zatanna. "How is she?" Robin asked.
"Zatanna is alright for now," Aqualad reported after placing his ear up to Zatanna's chest. "There's still a heartbeat. I can try to heal her, but we need to stop the rogues from getting to Miss Martian."
Petro and Zett slammed at Siege from his left before Katooni and Pix clashed with him on his right side. Siege found himself locked as he saw Serra prepare her own lightsabers. She thrust them downwards at both of her sides before slashing in an upwards direction. She slashed back down, making four Trinity Symbols with her Double-Bladed Lightsabers. She spun around and immediately sent them towards Lord Siege.
While this was happening, Miss Martian and Maeve locked blades with one another. The two stared each other down as their lightsabers locked with one another. More Jedi started to arrive to try and help, but Miss Martian pushed away Maeve and held her hand up.
"M'gann, we're coming!" Master K'Kruhk called out.
"No!" Miss Martian yelled back. "This one is mine!"
"I'd like to see you try!" Maeve exclaimed, sending Sith Lightning from her hands.
Miss Martian used her two emerald lightsabers to block the lightning before using her mental powers to lift up her new Hurikane Crystal Lightsaber. She sent it towards Maeve, causing her to lose focus on Miss Martian and instead clash with the flying lightsaber.
"No one tries to steal my Powers and gets away with it!" Miss Martian proclaimed, using her two green lightsabers to slash down at Maeve while she was still battling against the floating lightsaber.
Maeve looked up and held her lightsabers up to defend herself from Miss Martian. However, Miss Martian's rage was too strong, and Maeve was knocked back all the way to the edge of the railing.
Miss Martian now levitated all three of her lightsabers before reaching her hands out to her sides. All of the Jedi Knights and Masters looked to their belts as their lightsabers came flying off. Miss Martian activated them all with her special Force Powers, all now starting to glow.
Maeve took notice of this and used the Force to grab some of the borrowed lightsabers. She spun them all around and advanced towards Miss Martian, harnessing the Force to make the blades scrape the ground and walls. She immediately stopped walking and started running towards Miss Martian with absolutely no thoughts of giving her mercy.
Ahsoka slashed at Ryouma and Kougane, causing them to be sent towards the end of the Hall before she kicked Dalyn towards them. The three got up and prepared to attack again, but their lightsabers floated into the air. Ryouma, Kougane and Dalyn looked to see Ahsoka with the rest of her lightsabers. The three rogues' lightsabers flew towards her as well, and she started to use her original lightsaber to stab downwards. She thrust her lightsaber up and slashed back down. The lightsabers she had called upon followed what she did as she spun around and completed her SokaTan Trinity Symbols. Immediately, she sent the SokaTan Attacks towards Dalyn, Ryouma and Kougane.
Miss Martian spun around the rest of the lightsabers she had in a circle and charged them up. She placed her arms back and unleashed a mighty green energy blast onto Maeve. Maeve countered back with her Sith Lightning, being the first one to cancel out Miss Martian's charged attack. Miss Martian continued to stare Maeve down, not intending to back down. She was not even the slightest bit fazed by the cancellation of her attack. Instead, she pointed her right finger downwards, in which all of the lightsabers she had borrowed did the same. She leapt and threw her hand up, causing the lightsabers to once again do the same. Miss Martian floated around and flew back down, stabbing her hand downwards. The lightsabers all glowed and did the same again before Miss Martian threw her arms out, forming sixteen Trinity Symbols. She stood ready as Maeve continued to charge at her before throwing her hands forwards. Immediately, SokaTan Strikes stronger than usual started to rain down at Maeve.
Everywhere in the Jedi Temple, everyone felt quakes. Each of the quakes nearly blew them off of their feet, even the Jedi Council from their Chambers.
"What was that?" Kit Fisto asked.
"I sense… the Power of SokaTan," Mace Windu said. "Ahsoka and Miss Martian are in trouble! We have intruders!"
Siege looked to see the four SokaTan Emblems head his way. He grinned and slashed at the window behind him. He let himself get hit by these attacks, giving him the energy boost he needed to fly out the window. As he did, he landed on his Jedi Starfighter.
"A decent match, my friends," Siege called out as Ki-Adi-Mundi and Shaak Ti came over. "But this is where we part!" Sai Edge called out before he was flown away.
Jedi Temple Guards ran over, seeing Ryouma, Dalyn, Metus and Kougane heavily injured. Ahsoka threw their lightsabers back to them, but kept her own activated. She was about to interrogate the three until Erica appeared and shot Sith Lightning at the ground. Ahsoka covered her eyes as sparks flew.
Erica teleported her four comrades away and became visible enough for Ahsoka to see her.
"Get back here!" Ahsoka demanded as she ran after Erica.
Miss Martian panted and dropped to the ground. All of the lightsabers fell to the ground as well. She looked to see the charred, burnt, and now-dead body of Maeve fall before her.
"You left me no choice," M'gann said weakly. "It's over."
All of a sudden, Erica appeared and aimed her yellow crossguard lightsaber at M'gann. Ahsoka gasped as well.
The Young Justice arrived, and everyone reactivated their lightsabers. Ahsoka, being the closes to Erica, aimed her lightsaber at her, but Erica moved her blade closer to M'gann.
"It's now time to stop," Erica taunted. "Unless you want more monstrous attacks like this, you two will come with me to meet my Master."
"The Hell they will!" Anakin cursed.
"Anakin, get back!" Ahsoka demanded.
Anakin gaped, and without a word, backed away.
"How far do we have to go?" Miss Martian asked, getting up and standing with Ahsoka.
"Not terribly far," Erica replied eerily. "We should get there by tonight."
Ahsoka scowled. "Fine," she said. "Let's go."
The Young Justice watched as Ahsoka and M'gann let themselves be taken away.
"What do we do?" Serra asked.
"Don't worry, I put tracking devices on them," Jaybo said. "We'll track them down, and take down this… Master, whoever she is."
A Cruiser started to leave Coruscant. Ahsoka and M'gann stood inside, with Erica watching over them in a now-solid and visible body.
"Do not speak to anyone," Erica ordered. "I want to draw as little to no attention as possible."
Ahsoka and Miss Martian just narrowed their eyes at Erica. They knew that whatever was coming next would be for better or for worse. One thing was the same: they all had a bad feeling about this.
