Chapter 27
Deception
CORUSCANT
The Lower City
It was late into the night, Anakin, Ahsoka and Obi-Wan were walking through the streets of Coruscant, the city's neon lights and street lamps lit the way for the heroes of the Republic, who had just received a transmission ordering them back to the temple. "So what's the big rush?" Anakin asked his former master as the two, along with Ahsoka, walked through Coruscant's underworld. "The Jedi Council has called an emergency meeting." the Master replied, earning a bored sigh from Anakin.
"I can see it now, another long boring debate." he said grudgingly.
"Would you rather they call you in to train younglings?" Ahsoka teased with a smirk, earning a smirk from Obi-Wan. "Are you crazy?" her master asked with a smirk before suddenly the sniper started shooting at them, the Jedi quickly made for cover behind some crates as the shooter kept them pinned.
"Any idea where that shot came from?" Obi-Wan asked from the other stack as the sniper seemed to focus on him.
"A sniper, I see him up there." Ahsoka replied, pointing to the roof of a building. "All right, here's the plan. Anakin, you flank him on the right Ahsoka you cover the lower streets. I'm going after him." Obi-Wan said, earning nods from his friends before they all activated their sabers and moved.
The padawan ran into the alley as the two older Jedi jumped onto the buildings and chased the sniper from the rooftop. Obi-Wan and Anakin saw the shooter then, he was wearing a beige jacket and pants, with a fur collared vest and bounty hunters helmet. It had an antenna and two lenses looking at them, a sniper rifle on his back running away. Despite their efforts to catch up it seemed like he had vanished into smoke. "Where'd he go?" Anakin asked behind some pipes for cover.
Obi-Wan moved out before he saw the glint of the sniper scope, "There!" Obi-wan and Anakin started to run towards the shooter, the chase soon began again before Obi-wan was shot seconds later making Obi-Wan crash against some crates a few feet in front Ahsoka
"Obi-Wan!" Anakin cried out in horror as he looked over the edge. "We've got him, go!" Ahsoka urged before she ran up to the fallen Jedi. Ahsoka turned him around and held him up. "
Up on the rooftops Anakin's worry for his old Master gave the shooter a head start, and when he started to catch up he saw the bounty hunter jump onto the back of a speeder bike and escape. Not dwelling on his failure he retreated back t owhere Obi-Wan had fallen. Anakin landed a few feet away from them and ran over. "How is he?" the older Knight asked. Ahsoka looked up at him with a sad look and tears in her eyes before he knelt down. "Obi-Wan- Obi-Wan- Obi-Wan!" he yelled, trying to shake his old master awake.
SERENNO
Count Dooku's Palace's Training Yard
It was dusk, the weather was cool and growing warmer with every meter the sun climbed into the sky. In the distance dark storm clouds were showering the fields and plantations of Serenno. Count Dooku and him were standing across from the kneeling apprentice, between them on each side were dozens of stone pillars "Our last lesson I asked you the second line of the Sith code and its meaning, now the third."
Leo nodded "Through strength I gain power." he said.
"You know the words well enough, but let us see if you understand them without a lightsaber." Count Dooku said as he lifted two of the stone pillars. Leo watched him closely before the pillars flew at Leo like cannonballs.
He raised both hands to catch them with the force inches from his palms, any closer and they would have rendered both arms useless and broken. "Hmm very good, your command of the force is applicable but it will need to be improved, today I shall teach you true power."
"A power the Jedi have always feared to use." The Count told him, Leo used the force to put the pillars back in place before following Count Dooku across the yard "Master?"
"Explain the meaning of the third verse of the code, how does one acheive power through strength?" his Master asked him.
Leo didn't answer right away "You hesitate?"
"I do Master, there are many ways to power through strength." Leo replied quickly to make up for his hesitation "But for the Sith?" Count Dooku asked "For the Sith we must become more, we must push ourselves to the absolute limit to achieve the power that defines us as Sith."
Count Dooku eyed him from the other side of the walkway "Are you familiar with the Sith's ability to use the force in unnatural ways, more specifically to conjure the power of the storm itself?" Count Dooku asked, pointing his open palm toward the storm, the other behind his back.
"I am, though I was only able to conjure it myself once." Leo replied, this peaked the Count's interests making him face the student.
"Truely?" he asked, Leo nodded "It was in a place very strong with the force, both the light and the dark." Leo told him "I was facing an unnatural enemy and I needed unnatural power." Leo added.
The Count scratched his lower lip "Tell me apprentice, what did it feel like?" the Count asked him while they stood on the edge of the cliffside.
"I didn't really have time to feel it really, it was more of an instinct Master but in that moment I felt like I was lighting given form, then showered in ice cold rain, my arms were heavy and I almost passed out." Leo said.
The Count gave him a firm nod "Those unfamiliar with the darkness are ill prepared to harness its power, I become much more familiar."
"Familiar?" Leo asked him.
Count Dooku held up his arm and Leo watched in awe and terror as Count Dooku's entire hand became engulfed in force lighting. The Count through his hand out and lighting exploded from his fingertips in a showering light of surging power. "How… how can I do that?"
"You did once, what were the circumstances." Count Dooku asked him "I was fighting for my life."
The Count smiled then "A better motivator to achieve new heights, there is none. But for the power to flow through you without feeling weak you must find a different source, anger, fear, pain these are the weapons of the Sith and so you shall focus on them should the first two fail you…" Count Dooku turned around "The third shall be administered by me, try on the pillars." Count Dooku said, looking to the ones that lined his garden.
Leo stood across from the nearest pillar and looked at it, making the right arm of his body rise he focused on it. He gritted his teeth tensing up his arm trying to harness his anger; the pillar jilted a bit and trembled even forming a few small cracks but no lighting sprouted from his hands, the pillar started to rise but he dropped it knowing that wasn't what he was meant to do. "Again." Count Dooku ordered.
The boy did as he was told this time with his other arm, he tried to picture all the things that gave him fury. He tried to imagine all the terrible things Pong Krell had put him through, the unending battles with no chance of winning the near torturous training he underwent but that made him stronger in the end. He thought of Anakin's smug face telling him off and treating him like Mace Windu but the feeling of compassion Anakin had given him on Ryloth, the patience Mace Windu and respect he gave nothing of the Jedi's treatment of him could make him angry. The pillar rose again this time his hands started to get warm, even turn slightly red but nothing happened.
"Hmmm I see we have our work cut out for us…" the Count said disapprovingly before the Count could continue, a duo of magna guards approached them with a service droid "What is it?" the Count asked him.
"News from Coruscant my lord Master Obi-Wan Kenobi is..." The droid spoke and Leo heard the news, but after that he didn't hear anything after that.
His face went white and his jaw gapped hearing the fate of Obi-Wan.
The memories came flooding in, from the first time he met Obi-Wan, to being counseled on the Felucian farm. To become his new apprentice, training with him on distant worlds leading the clones into battle side by side. Sharing food by a fire with Cody, Boil and Waxer and laughing as Boil did his best Grievous impression.
All of that was now gone.
"Hmm very well, leave us; apprentice again." Count Dooku ordered before the droids departed.
Leo raised both hands to the pillar and Count Dooku felt the surge of emotion swelling inside Leo, before he unleashed it on the pillar. The force lighting came with a loud shout of thunder, it found the pillar like a bullseye shattering the stone into a hundred pieces smoking and melted from the force power.
Breathing out and in, he looked at his hand they were still squirting out small bursts of electric discharge but other then that the palms were completely fine. "Well done my apprentice, but tell me was the death of your old mentor a source of… inspiration?" Count Dooku asked him.
Leo gritted his teeth, his lip twitching "... yes." He grumbled.
"Oh and what is the reason behind this unfettered rage that gave you the drive to achieve true power?" Count Dooku asked with an arched brow.
"That I couldn't kill him myself." Leo replied.
"You wanted to kill him yourself?" Count Dooku asked, pacing around him.
Leo felt the Count watching every move he was making from every hair and inch of skin on his cell, "Yes… that's the way of the sith, isn't it?" He asked "An apprentice kills his Master."
He gave the Count a sideways glare "IfI killed him, I would have truly surpassed him and I would know, even as his killer he would have been proud." He told Count Dooku.
"But do you not care he is gone, he was your Master?" Count Dooku asked him He was my Master, did you care when you killed your Master?" Leo asked him.
Count Dooku gave Leo a curious glare "My Master?" He asked.
"Not Master Yoda." Leo said with a tch in his tongue, "Who?" Count Dooku said taking a step toward Leo, instead of cowering or backing down Leo looked up at him "You surely must have learned the ways of the Sith from someone, someone you surpassed…?" Leo asked, since questions were in the air Leo risked it all.
The Master and apprentice beamed at one another, behind the Sith eyes Count Dooku was seeking what Leo was thinking about, but the darkness emitting from him. A rage that could be unchallenged undeniably unequivocally a Sith's anger seething from him "Once, leave me I will summon you when I have need of you again my apprentice."
Leo stepped back and bowed before departing for Raxus.
CORUSCANT
Jedi Temple
Back at the Jedi Temple, the Jedi had returned Obi-Wan's corpse back to the Temple and had laid his body down with full honors befitting a Jedi Master and hero of the Republic. A Jedi funeral shroud was laid over him ready to be cremated, surrounded by the Masters of the Council, Padawans Offee, Jinx and O-Mer all wearing robes out of respect for their fallen comrade. Ahsoka and Anakin wore their robes too, Anakin stood grimacing at his Master's body across from Padme and Satine, who had Ahsoka next to the Senator from Naboo. Satine cried as Padme and the others watched with heavy hearts.
"I'm worried about Anakin. He hasn't said a word since it happened." Ahsoka said quietly to Plo Koon before Obi-Wan's body was lowered and the tomb closed before a beam of light appeared in the middle, signalling his body was to be cremated. Ahsoka could sense Anakin's anger and knew they were both thinking the same thing: To find Obi-Wan's killer and get revenge.
A long silence filled the funeral but after a while a few Masters and Jedi started to leave, before all that remained were Ahsoka, Padme, Satine and Plo Koon. Satine gave one last look before she turned to Padme "I should go, I can stay a moment longer." She whimpered before Padme escorted her out.
Ahsoka started to walk over to Anakin but she felt Plo Koon grab her hand "No, he must deal with this trial himself."
Despite her instincts telling her that her Master needed Ahsoka, she followed Plo Koon's wisdom and followed him out of the funeral procession. The kel dor and torgurtan walked in silence for a few moments "I sense there is something more to Obi-Wan's untimely passing than your Master's own grief."
Ahsoka said nothing to the Masters inquiry.
"Shall I ask again or guess?" Plo Koon asked her.
Ahsoka pulled her hood down "Master Plo, Master Kenobi is dead and only one of his students is here." She said.
Plo Koon pulled his own hood down to try and make her feel more comfortable "The betrayal of Leo Rock has weighed heavily on us, not just you and your Master."
"Has the Council said anything I should know?" She asked him.
"Only that he will be treated like any other traitor or Sith, a mindset you should seek to adopt." Plo Koon told her in confidence.
ENROUTE TO RAXUS
Leo hurled the empty bottle of brandy at the wall inside the Rogue Shadow's captains quarters, he had drained the bottle in cup after cup of dark liquor to dull what he was feeling. He stumbled over to the liquor cabinet in his personal quarters opening it to see every other bottle was either empty or almost empty he grabbed the first one with some alcohol left in it and quickly downed it before he screamed.
He slouched up on the wall falling to the floor hot tears running down his cheeks, rubbing his face, his tears caused thick snot to clog his nose while he wailed into his hands, screaming loudly against his palms muffling the noise.
Outside the Oculus was waiting, like a faithful pet to see if his master was okay the droid beeped softly while Proxy passed by before heading to the bridge where Turok was waiting.
"Master Turok, why has my Master secluded himself within his quarters, screaming?" Proxy asked him.
Turok didn't answer him over another scream "One of the benefits of being a droid, is you don't feel loss like us."
CORUSCANT
Jedi Temple
Following the morning after Obi-Wan's funeral, both Council Members Mace Windu and Master Yoda were walking in the hallways of the Temple, alone. They had made sure to awake at this hour precisely as no one else would be roaming the hallways so the two wouldn't look suspicious.
"Having second thoughts, Master Yoda?" Mace Windu asked.
"Hmm, heading down a dark path, we are." Yoda admitted next to him.
"We talked about this." Mace reminded the short Jedi master. "Killing a Jedi was the best move we had."
Yoda had an unsure look on his face as they came into one of the Jedi's medical rooms, where sitting on the only occupied medical table in the entire the room was a completely alive Obi-Wan.
"So, how was my funeral?" Obi-Wan asked with a smirk.
"A better performance than you, your corpse gave."Yoda replied with a smile.
"Whatever do you mean?"Obi-Wan said looking at a metal breastplate laying on the table beside them, it had been fitted to form someone's chest and fit under clothes, like Jedi robes "I fell from the top of a building, I could have killed myself."
Master Yoda only shrugged off the worry "Survived worse, you have." He stated. "Young Skywalker and Padawan Tano know this."
"I took the vitals suppressor as instructed." Obi-Wan commented. "I was dead to the world when Anakin moved my body there's no way he or Ahsoka could know I was alive."
Obi-Wan looked at the two Jedi Masters, waiting for them to speak "Not know, but sense, they will, that something is not right." Yoda pointed out.
"Keeping Anakin on the outside was critical." Obi-Wan admitted. "Everyone knows how close we are, it was his reaction that sold the sniper, I'm sure of it."
"What's done is done." Mace Windu responded. "We need to get your transformation underway."
"Well, time for a shave." Obi-Wan said as a medical droid worked on his face, it radiated him in a blue light that severed every hair on his head before sucking them off with a vacuum. "Tell me about my target?" Obi-Wan asked him.
Windu held up a holodisk before he turned it on "His name is Moralo Eval." Mace Windu replied as he showed a small hologram of a phindian male with a tattoo on the left side of his face, he had yellow eyes and a snarl on his profile picture.
The droid did its work around Obi-Wans head as he listened "Works directly for Count Dooku, rumor is their plot will be hatched in three revolutions at the festival on Naboo, we tried to make a deal with Moralo for more details, but he was uncooperative so we arrested him." Windu told Obi-Wan as the droid cleaned up his face.
"Any details that might help me gain his trust while in prison?"Obi-Wan asked.
"Eval killed his mother when he was only a boy." Mace Windu admitted. "Told the authorities he did it because he was bored."
"Hmm, I'll try not to bore him." Obi-Wan commented.
"Not a game is this, Obi-Wan."Yoda reminded. "The risks, great they are."
"Yes, and so are the rewards." Obi-Wan added. "Besides preventing Eval from abducting the Chancellor, he could lead us to Grievous, and possibly Dooku himself."
"Facial transformation program loaded." the medical droid stated before holding up a needle filled with nanotechnology.
"I take it there's no way to have the Chancellor pull out of the festival?" Obi-Wan asked.
"No." Yoda answered. "See it as a sign of weakness, he would."
"Sign of weakness."Obi-Wan mumbled. "Wouldn't want that."
Then the medical droid injected his neck.
"Transformation initiated."the medical droid reported.
Obi-Wan cried out in pain as his face transformed, his bones began to shift and the muscles on his face growing and shrinking into the face of another. The transformation swirled around his insides making Obi-Wan grunt and moan but he held in the pain before Obi-Wan Kenobi was gone and Rako Hardeen stood there before the Masters.
"I still need to verify this with Leo." Obi-Wan said to the two Masters, "The fact you agreed to go along with your Padawans ludicrous plan to infiltrate Count Dooku's inner circle as his apprentice, to find someone who may or may not exist and you're sure this isn't just a ploy for him to learn the dark side and keep you off balance?" Mace Windu asked as Obi-Wan got off the table feeling his new jawline.
He turned to Mace Windu with a sour glare "The reason I told only you and Master Yoda is the same reason he and I, including everyone from Kadavo are still alive, trust."
RAXUS
The Stark Estate
Leo had returned to his families compound in secret once more, it was sunset and he stood on the veranda outside wearing his black robes, he had sobered up some since their arrival and Iaco Stark was walking up behind him holding two drinks one wine the other a clear liquid "Here." Iaco said, handing him the clear one.
"No, no I've drunk enough." Leo said, pushing it away but Iaco insisted "I can tell, its water mixed with electrolytes, you're dehydrated." Iaco said as Leo took his.
He took it and took a big gulp "What's on your mind? Iaco asked him.
"I word from the Republic one of their top Jedi General kicked the bucket, Obi-Wan Kenobi." Iaco said Leo squeezed the glass. The small gesture wasn't unnoticed by his father "You knew him?"
"He was my teacher." Leo replied.
Iaco sipped his wine "Oh, my condolences son." Leo said.
Leo kept his vigil on the horizon, the wind blowing his white hair signaling to Iaco he was elsewhere "Is there more?"
Shaking his head the boy replied "No, it nothing?"
"It's a lover isn't it?" Iaco smirked, Leo's face turned red like his hair use to be "W-what no I-..." Leo cut himself off before he could give anymore away. Iaco only giggled "Okay, okay, not a lover but someone close, a friend a very goooooood friend?" Iaco asked him.
Giving the slightest invocation it was true Iaco frowned "Someone you left behind, on the other side no doubt?"
"Yes, in times like this when I wasn't sure what to do… I could always talk to her, she'd always listen, never judge for it either." Leo said.
Iaco held out his arms in a shrug "But now I've lost her." Leo said.
"I've lost people too, friends and lovers way before the War, the Stark Hyperspace war." Iaco told him. Leo looked at him "Did you really fight the war to give people a better deal?" Leo asked him changing the subject.
Iaco crossed his arms shrugging "Sort of, I was a younger man I had ambitions telling people the whole rob from the rich give to the poor sounds better."
"So you were the King of the Pirates." Leo asked him.
Iaco unfolded his arms "The name inspired fear in my enemies, hope in my friends much like oh… The Berserker?" Iaco asked him, nudging him with his elbow.
Leo still frowned "I've always hated that name."
"I hated Pirate King too for a while, but then when I saw the effect it had on people I started to like it." Iaco said "If we're always so busy fighting who we are, then we kill ourselves in the end." Iaco told him.
Leo listened gapping before he closed his mouth "So you were a pirate?" Leo asked.
Iaco laughed "I was so many things, I was a smuggler, a bounty hunter, a mercenary then yes of course a pirate, well the Pirate who brought the entire Republic economy to its knees." Iaco said loudly and proudly holding his arms up.
"Why are you telling me all of this?" Leo asked him.
Iaco smiled "Is it distracting you from your grief?"
"A little" Leo told him "Good, because there's something I wanted to talk to you about." Iaco said walking back into the house
Leo followed him back into the house where it's as empty "Where is everyone?" Leo asked him "Arris took the kids into the city, Gerdy too." Iaco said, setting his wine glass on a table and running up the stairs.
He followed Iaco into his study, Iaco walked up to one of the crossed swords on the wall and pulled the handle, to Leo's astonishment the handle snapped inward on itself and the Iaco stepped back. They watched the wall spin open revealing a secret passageway with a glowing torch lamp on the wall. Iaco walked into it and took the torch off the wall and said "Enter, if you dare."
REPUBLIC
Undercity
Back on Coruscant Anakin and Ahsoka headed back out to the underworld in order to find Obi-Wan's killer after Yoda had informed them that they had found him. "I still don't understand, did Master Yoda say how they found the sniper?" Ahsoka asked over the speeders com.
"Who cares? All that matters is they did." her master replied coldly before they went lower into Coruscant. After landing, the two entered the bar where the killer was supposedly at.
Anakin glared at the patrons and ignited his lightsaber. "Where is Rako Hardeen?" he demanded coldly, all the patrons backed up and tensed up seeing a very angry jedi.
"Back room." the snake-like bartender alien replied nervously as the Knight sheathed his saber.
The three entered the room and saw Hardeen laying on the bed. "Is he dead?" Ahsoka wondered.
"He's about to be." Anakin growled, punching his robot fist into his flesh palm and storming up to the sleeping man.
"Huh? A Jedi? I already killed a Jedi today... Let me sleep." he grumbled half awake before rolling back over.
"He's not dead! He drunk!" Anakin snarled before picking Hardeen up by the collar and slamming him against the wall. "Get up, you filth! If it was up to me, I would kill you right here! But lucky for you, the man you murdered would rather see you rot in jail." Anakin hissed before shoving him away and holding his arms behind him as Hardeen gave a drunk chuckle. "Now, let's go, you coward, before I change my mind." Anakin said coldly as the Jedi escorted him out.
Later the Jedi landed on the landing pad of the Republic Judiciary Central Detention Centre and Anakin pulled Hardeen roughly out of his seat before the Jedi escorted him towards two shock troopers.
"You should be expecting this scum." the older Knight growled, shoving him forward.
"Yes, sir." the clone on the left said. "Let me know if he's any trouble. I'd be happy to straighten him out." Anakin said darkly before the trooper escorted him towards the entrance and the Jedi went back to the speeders and took off back towards the Temple.
RAXUS
Below the Stark Estate
Following his father down, down, down into the depths of the strange passageway Leo was silent as his father led him deep beneath the estate till they finally reached leveled ground. It wasn't metal or carved wood like the rest of the estate but solid concrete. The corridor began to wind and turn before Iaco stopped and pressed his hand on a lower part of the wall that caved in, "What is-" "Security protocol." Iaco told him before walking on.
"Security for… what?" Leo gasped when they turned the next corner and Leo saw what Iaco had come to show him.
Buried deep beneath the Estate, hidden in this underground labyrinth was the largest pile of credits, gold, jewels, works of precious art, and the loot of hundreds of civilizations piled up ten times as high as Leo or Iaco combined he'd ever seen. A practical sea of wealth. Leo's eyes got wide, his mouth found itself practically watering at the glistening gold, twinkling diamonds and more something about seeing that much wealth reached an inner core with in Leo "The Stark family fortune, not even Iaclyn or Elli know of it." Leo said.
"But I thought you were a banker?" Leo asked him.
"I am, and everyone knows you don't give your money to a bank." Iaco said sticking te torche in a holder.
Iaco reached down and pulled out a few disks of cold coins "Why are you showing me all this?" Leo asked as he picked up a strange looking bracelet or talisman that looked like a scorpion, it suddenly came alive and Leo tossed it back into the pile thinking it had to be some droid or something.
"Because…" Iaco said tossing the coins back into the pile "I've stolen a lot of things in my life, gold, ships, weapons… people once… and I know when someone's working a con and having second doubts." Iaco said gazing backwards at his son.
Leo wanted to grab his lightsaber but he restrained himself "Doubts?"
"Napoleon, Leo, you asked me if I was fighting to give the people of the outer rim a better deal, I was half truthful with you son your working the long haul and I want in." Iaco said walking toward him. Leo stepped back before he got too close to let Iaco stop "And the other half?"
"The other half was I had a partner inside the Republic feeding me information about trade federation routes, strength and even when the Jedi would be coming." Iaco told him.
The apprentices face was blank for a half moment before things began to sync "I never saw his face, never heard his voice, only rumors that someone inside the Republic was sowing chaos across the outer rim." Iaco explained.
"How do you know all this?" Leo asked him.
"I had a substantial amount of mercenaries working for me, they kept telling me that the jobs were good, warlords, corporations were all hiring people left and right, I started to see a pattern." Iaco said pacing , holding up a finger "A republic world goes into crisis, the people rebel and the jedi are sent into restore order by the Republic."
Iaco continued "I was just a smuggler and pirate at that time, we traded with the outer rim colonies and smaller settlements then started seeing gradual more success then I got a message about the largest score your mother and I could have ever dreamed of and the Stark Commercial Combine was born."
"And the messenger?" Leo asked him, Iaco smiled closely "Didn't disappoint, they gave me everything I needed, where to find the right ships, the right people the told me to start hitting the Trade Federation and I'd be rewarded soon I was young, ambitious… stupid." Iaco said to him before he piked up a golden dagger squeezing the grip.
Leo heard his father sigh "Before I knew it I was working for stranger in the shadows, my fleet wasn't my own, my command it was all a lie… then you were born"
"The jedi who took me away… they didn't find you, you found them?" Leo asked. Iaco tossed the dagger back into the treasure pile.
"I did, I was afraid for myself, for your mother and you so I cut a deal with the lesser of two evils to save my son and my wife, at the cost of my entire crew." Iaco said regretfully "I gave the entire Stark Commercial Combine fleet a virus that sent their ships into stars, black holes or the unknown regions never to return, all to try and save my family and my own sorry skin." Iaco said back to him.
Leo took a step closer "And the deal?" Leo asked.
"I give you up, join the Banking game and give the Jedi the name of my informat after I found out." Iaco told him "And the name?" Leo asked.
Iaco turned with his eyes transfixed on his son "You know the name, you have the same look I had when I was looking for it, the name of a Sith Lord."
"Sidious…" Leo replied, Iaco didn't say anything he just slowly nodded as horror spread over Leo's face "And…. the Jedi who brought me to the order, who you gave me to?" Leo asked.
"You know that name too, you're his apprentice now."
