Chapter 2 The Return
It's been a month since Aayla Secura was captured by the greatest enemy of the Jedi and Sith. Since then rumors have begun to spread in the Republic of this ancient enemy.
The only reason no one knew anything about them was because during the days of the old Republic the Jedi and Sith wiped out most of that information about them. Reason being they didn't want anyone to ever follow in their footsteps.
They had assumed they were all destroyed but if the ancient enemy had indeed returned the Jedi and Sith would more than likely have to unite once more to stop them.
Right now however the Republic had scored a major victory in the capture of Separatist leader Nute Gunray. Senator Amidala had managed to capture the Leader of the Trade Federation thanks to the help of an old friend.
Now the Jedi were awaiting his arrival to Coruscant.
Master Luminara and Padawan Ahsoka were in charge of escorting the viceroy to face trial for his war crimes.
"Master?" Ahsoka said to Luminara.
"What is it Ahsoka?" Luminara asked kindly.
"I need to ask you something. Do you know this enemy the council have been talking about? They won't say a word to anyone." Ahsoka said making her sigh.
"I'm afraid they have their reasons. I do know who they are talking about. During the days of the old Republic the Jedi and Sith faced an enemy unlike any other. They slaughtered countless victims. Taking off their skin gutting them taking off their heads as trophies. They were relentless. Eventually the Jedi and Sith had no other choice but to join forces to stop them. We had thought they were destroyed but...It's still unclear if the attack on the factory and the Death of Master Arana were caused by them. Until we have more evidence we can only hope for the best." Luminara said.
After hours of interrogation Nute Gunray looked ready to crack until.
"Excuse me General but we have a situation." Captain Argyus said gaining their attention.
"What is it?" Luminara asked.
"We've picked up a distress beacon not to far from our current location requesting assistance. It's a refugee freighter." Argyus said making her frown.
"Odd. I didn't know there was any planets out here that allowed refuges." Luminara said.
"Well, we can't just turn our backs and leave them." Ahsoka said.
"True. Set the cruiser for that freighter then we will resume our course to the Senate." Luminara said.
"Right away General." Argyus said getting the men ready.
Soon the cruiser arrived at the origins of the beacon and found the freighter was damaged but still capable of supporting life. Bringing it inside the hanger a group of clones soon went inside looking for survivors.
Luminara and Ahsoka stood outside waiting for a report.
"I have a bad feeling about this." Ahsoka said before the clones walked out.
"General theres no one onboard." Gree said making her frown.
"Why would there be a distress beacon if no one was on board?" Ahsoka asked.
"I don't know. Were you able to gather any information on the computers?" Luminara asked.
"No General but we did find a small trail of blood in the cockpit. Seems like someone attacked the freighter not to long ago." Gree said.
"I see. I will inform the Council about this. For now our interrogation of Gunray must continue." Luminara said as they left the hanger.
However as they left the hanger four cloaked figures soon walked off the freighter. The four soon split up and headed for their own targets.
In the clone quarters a group of five clones were seen before the doors opened.
"Huh?" One of the clones said seeing no one before they closed.
"Odd. Must be a malfunction." Another clone said turning arund before a blade penetrated his chest making him gasp in shock.
"What the!" Another clone yelled before the cloaked individual uncloaked revealing it to be a human woman in strange armor. (Picture Dark Blade Clan armor from the Predator Concrete Jungle game)
"Blast her!" Another clone yelled before she charged right at them piercing them in the heart making them gasp in shock before they died off.
"To easy." The woman said.
On the bridge the second cloaked figure made her way through the vents.
"Has anyone been able to get in touch with the men in the barracks?" The Captain asked.
"No sir. Hang on." A clone said accessing the cameras before they saw the brutal sight of the woman skinning the men.
"What the!" The Captain yelled before the second intruder dropped down from the vents and threw a couple of flying disks at them cutting them up in vital areas making them bleed out before dropping to the ground dead. The person uncloaked revealing to be another human woman in different armor. (Picture Alien Hunter Armor from the Video game)
Meanwhile
Luminara and Ahsoka continued to interrogate Gunray when Ahsoka felt something off.
"Ahsoka? Whats wrong?" Luminara asked.
"I don't know but I don't like it." Ahsoka said before using her com-link. "Captain Report...Captain?" Ahsoka said again but got nothing.
"Something is wrong." Luminara said making Gunray laugh.
"Seems as if my rescue has come." Gunray said.
"AHHHH!" A senate commando yelled from the other side of the room.
"Sargent?" Argyus said before he saw the pool of blood and opened the cell. "General I think it's best if we leave right..." Argyus tried to say before a spear pierced his stomach making him gasp in shock before he was thrown into the wall dead. Suddenly the last two intruders uncloaked themselves revealing the first to be one who captured Aayla and the next was a woman in similar armor but was a blue skinned Twe'lek in similar armor.
"Yautja. They have returned." Luminara said activating her lightsaber.
"Jedi filth." The man said pulling out a weapon that had black metal and red glowing Plasma. (Picture the Glaive from the Video game)
"What in the world are they?" Ahsoka asked activating her own lightsaber.
"We are predators. We kill those who have spilled innocent blood. Not that the Jedi care though. They nearly wiped out the pure blooded Yautja during the days of the old Republic. There was no negotiations no talks of peace and more importantly they killed many of the pure bloodline that were innocent women and children without a second thought." The Twe'lik said shocking them.
"Thats a lie! The Jedi would never..." Ahsoka tried to say.
"It's true. While the Pure bloodline had indeed survived it would take thousands of years to bring up their numbers once more. So another idea was put into place. They began to silently recruit others of different species to their cause or breeding with them to help increase the numbers faster." The man said.
"Less talking more action." Ahsoka said rushing in.
"Ahsoka!" Luminara yelled as the man grabbed her by the head before slamming her into a wall knocking her out before Gree and another clone charged at him while Luminara charged right at the Twi'lek who pulled out a spear that was able to withstand the power of a lightsaber.
The man roared loudly before he stabbed Gree in the chest making him groan out in pain before he was kicked into a wall.
Luminara continued her assault against the predator before she was able to kick her back slashed off her mask.
"Surrender." Luminara said pointing her blade at her back before she turned and gasped seeing the person was Aayla Secura who glared at her with cold eyes. "Secura?" Luminara said in shock before on her wrest appeared two metal claws and slashed at her and ripped some of her clothing. "Why?" Luminara asked in confusion.
"Cause now I see who is truly responsible for the suffering in the galaxy. It's not the Sith nor the Criminal and slaver empires it's the Jedi. They bring nothing but suffering. All that power and we do nothing but talk about how our way brings peace when it truly does nothing. How many innocent people have been killed because we did nothing but sit by? How many people are suffering now in this war? I will follow this abomination of an order no longer! I side with the ones who have the real answer to peace and security to the Galaxy. The Yautja." Aayla said as a weapon activated on her shoulder before she tried to blast her but she quickly dodged the blast before the other two arrived and grabbed Gunray making him scream in fright before the room was engulfed in smoke making Luminara cough before she passed out.
Hours later
Luminara soon woke up and found blood dripping on her forehead and gasped seeing the skinned bodies of Argyus and Gree. She looked around and saw Ahsoka still knocked out and rushed to her.
"Ahsoka wake up." Luminara said shaking her away. Ahsoka groaned as she held her head.
"Ow. Those guys really don't mess around." Ahsoka said making her sigh in relief she was ok.
Walking to the hanger they saw the clones were all skinned hanging above the floor.
"Master?" Ahsoka said gaining her attention. "Do you think what they said is true? Did the Jedi really kill innocent people?" Ahsoka asked making her sigh.
"I sensed no deception from them I'm afraid. The Jedi during that time must have been truly frightened enough to do anything to stop them. Whats worse is they are recruiting others to their cause...Including Master Secura." Luminara said shocking her.
"What?" Ahsoka asked in shock.
"I'm afraid it's true. She's left the Order and joined the most feared enemy of the Jedi. We will have to contact the council." Luminara said as they headed to the bridge.
Meanwhile
"Please! I am an innocent pawn!" Gunray yelled in fear as he was on his knees in front of the four who captured him from the Jedi.
"Do we look like we care? You will tell us everything or you will die." The man said before two young bloods dragged him away as he screamed in fear.
The man took off his mask revealing himself as a human with a symbol on his cheek. (The symbol for killing the Xenomorphs from Alien vs predator movie) He had white skin and red eyes.
"Stalker." Aayla said making Stalker look at Aayla.
"Yes?" Stalker asked.
"I know most of the Jedi cannot be redeemed but what about Ahsoka?" Aayla asked making him smirk.
"She will join us in time. For now though we will rest for our next mission. Sarah." Stalker said getting the one who killed the clones in the Barracks to take off her Mask revealing she had white skin blonde hair in dread locks like the Yautja and blue eyes.
"Relax babe I'm on it." Sarah said kissing his cheek before walking away.
"Dawn." Stalker said getting the one who killed the people on the bridge to take off her mask revealing she had white skin long blue hair that reached her hips and blue eyes.
"I'll go set up the equipment." Dawn said walking away.
"The time of the Jedi is coming to an end. Their legacy will be nothing but a laughable memory. Soon the Yautja will bring order to the Galaxy and replace both the Republic and Separatists." Stalker said.
Meanwhile
"Aayla has joined the Yautja?" Windu asked in surprise as Luminara and Ahsoka reported to the council.
"I'm afraid so. She believes the Jedi are responsible for the suffering in the galaxy since we refuse to act. Whats even worse is the Yautja are recruiting others to their cause. This makes it difficult to know the number of predators in their ranks." Luminara said.
"This is not good. It took everything we had to defeat them the first time with the Sith. I'm afraid we might not be able to defeat them a second time." Obi-Wan said.
"Masters?" Ahsoka said gaining their attention.
"Something you wish to ask?" Shaak Ti asked.
"I need to know. Did the Jedi during the old Republic kill innocent people of the Yautja? That seems to be their problem with us. Claiming there were no peace talks or negations...Is that true?" Ahsoka asked getting them to look at one another.
"Regretfully yes. The Jedi were greatly terrified of the hunters that we acted out of fear. When we realized what we did we grew to regret our actions." Windu said.
"Well, It seems like they're the real victims." Ahsoka said.
"Perhaps but their methods were going to far that we had to act. The Galaxy was restored after their supposed destruction." Piel said.
"I fear our actions have come back to haunt us. And The Galaxy will get caught in the middle of a war much worse than the clone wars." Adi Galia said in fear of the future.
Authors note: Uh oh! Looks like the Jedi are in for a fight that might be their last! Next Chapter will be the Trespassers episode. I'm not going to use every episode since I've used them multiple times. Also Sarah and Dawn are Oc characters from my Predator in New York story. Figured I might as well use them in this like last time. Those in the harem for Stalker?
