2. A Little Faster

Hello, everyone and Happy Thanksgiving! How are you all doing? Got the lucky wishbone from the turkey? I don't eat it, but I know it's good luck. Anyways, welcome back. I am SuperHeroTimeFan, and I am here to bring you a brand-new Chapter for my newest Story, the third arc of the Ahsoka Saga Stories, Journey of the Knight: Honor Bound! I'm glad to be here with a brand-new Chapter for you all. Thank you for the wonderful reviews, favorites and follows for my new Story after the success of my first Chapter. It really means a lot. Thank you. I would like to especially thank MinuteMan76, MartyrFan, Jacqueline Karst, Logan GC, FusionBase27A, Ezra Wren, Ultimate Advent Story Dude VII, Eubulon Zenith Extreme, Geo Hikari The 2nd, Cycomatrix Eternal, Hay Lin x Tsukasa Kadoya, Ross Blum the IV, Rebel Sabine Bridger, Dwayne McDuffie, Bowser3000000, Slade The Terminator, High Supreme King Of Awesome, Tines Sensahthe, Ultra Neo Kamen Rider 15, Awesometacular Extravaganza, Spartan of Chaos, Carlos Jacob, Outplace, TheGreatGodzilla, Darth Sicarius, AbbyDobbie, Maximus Potter, Darth Khan, Virgil1989 The Crossover King, and of course, all of the Guest Reviewers. I think we're off to a good start with this Story, and I seriously cannot thank you enough for supporting me. I've said it over a million times, but I can't think of any other way to express my gratitude. Thank you all. Now, before I get started on my newest Chapter, I would like to once again please ask the Guest Reviewers to leave a name for themselves other than Guest, like Carlos Jacob and Darth Khan did. It will help me to memorize who is who when I am addressing you. Also, I would like to address the reviews from the last Chapter. First off, we have the Guest Reviewer. As I said before, I would like all of the Guest Reviewers to put a name for themselves so I don't get confused with each one of you. Also, I announced that I would be doing a Story about Kalifa and her time before she joined the Neo Young Justice. It's on my Profile Page. Now, for Carlos Jacob. Your idea of having a museum in memory of the Young Justice sounds good, but that won't happen yet. I'll be sure to use that idea later on, though. I plan to have the people from the Expanded Universe and Earth-16 live in harmony, so there's that. Pop culture and entertainment from Earth-16 will be brought to the Expanded Universe, that's a yes. I've seen almost all of the Trailers for Star Wars: The Old Republic - Knights of the Eternal Throne, and I must say, they are really good. I'll be using the events from the Ahsoka Novel for when Ahsoka goes into hiding, so I won't be doing any of that. I'll try to do the events of Dark Disciple, and I've seen everything for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. I've read the Ahsoka Novel, as well as the final issue of the Darth Vader Comic Book. Thank you for asking. Also, did everyone know that Young Justice has officially been renewed for the Third Season? It's the news everyone's been waiting for! I'm so excited! Now, with all of the questions out of the way, here is my brand-new Chapter! Please be sure to review, rate, and as always, please be sure to enjoy!

Chapter 2: A Little Faster

Faster isn't always better. You must slow down and think.

Victory for the Young Justice! After entering the Expanded Universe to track down the ORDER, Ahsoka, Jedi Knight and Leader of the Young Justice in the Expanded Universe, has led her friends from Earth through countless battles, winning them all! But even after the threat of the ORDER has seemingly vanished, the Young Justice continue to fight. Now added with Barriss Offee, on probation, and new Padawan Learner for Ahsoka, Katooni, the Young Justice continues to fight not only for the Republic, but in honor of Sonia after her sacrifice to destroy Gemini Rouge. Following a successful strike on the DarkSiders on Geonosis, the Young Justice make their way back to Coruscant, resting after their long battles.

Ahsoka came out of the Communications Room after speaking with Batman. She made her way to the Hangar Bay, where she heard her Master speaking.

"Keeping your saber moving is key to deflecting the fire of multiple adversaries," Anakin said to the Young Justice as Training Droids hovered in front of him. Ahsoka smiled as she saw what was going on, leaning against the doorway as she watched. "With motion. One into the next, into the next, and so on," he went on. "I've made some… adjustments to the classic Form IV Techniques that I think you'll find work well against Droids and other ranged attackers," he said as he held out his lightsaber hilt. "I'll show you," he said before activating his lightsaber and signaling to the Droids to start firing at him. "One, two, three, pivot, four, five, six," he said as he swung his lightsaber in different motions to deflect the fire. "Again. One, two, three, pivot, four, five, six," he went on before motioning for the training droids to stop. "Practice these exercises mindfully, and you'll see improvement. I promise."

The Earth Young Justice members applauded.

"Nice moves," Ahsoka complimented. She looked to Serra, having recorded the whole training exercise before stopping the recording. "Those will come in handy for anyone, I can tell."

"I remember you were the first one I taught those moves to, Snips," Anakin said. "You got them right perfectly… after a couple of tries, of course."

"Well, no one's perfect." Ahsoka shrugged as Artemis and Miss Martian chuckled.

"Any word on what our next mission will be?" Aqualad asked as he walked over.

"No word yet," Ahsoka replied. "Once we get to Coruscant and consult with the Jedi Council, I'm sure we can track down the DarkSiders again."

"But they have Komari Vosa with them," Anakin said. "She was Dooku's former Apprentice before going mad. I heard she died with the Bando Gora before the sudden attacks on Padmé."

"Senator Amidala," Obi-Wan said. "She has just ordered us to report to her the moment we arrive on Coruscant."

"A meeting with the stand-in Chancellor?" Rocket asked. "Feels like we're being called in because we did something wrong."

"Why does she want us?" Robin asked.

"She didn't say," Admiral Dodonna said as he walked up next to Obi-Wan. "All she said was that you were to report to her immediately. No questions asked."

"Oh," Kid Flash said. "That's not suspicious."

"Speaking of which, we're here," Admiral Dodonna said as the Equinox came out of Hyperspace. "I suggest you go down to meet her immediately."

"I agree," Anakin said. "Even if she is standing in for Chancellor Palpatine, we shouldn't keep her waiting."

"Well then, it's settled," Miss Martian said. "I'll prep the Bioship."

Ahsoka nodded before she turned to Katooni and Barriss. "So, how are you two adjusting?" she asked. "Fitting in okay?"

"Yeah," Barriss said. "I don't mind being watched over all the time. Helps me keep myself in check."

"I'm still trying to get used to becoming a member of the Young Justice." Katooni said.

"Well, I'm sure you'll adjust," Ahsoka said. She motioned her head to the Bioship as Anakin, Paula and the Young Justice made their way on. "Come on."

Katooni and Barriss nodded as they followed Ahsoka onto the Bioship.

The Equinox pulled slowly over Coruscant, and the Bioship flew out. Obi-Wan followed in his Jedi Starfighter down towards the Senate Building. The two Ships landed, and Senate Guards came to the Landing Platform, with Padmé behind them.

The Bioship opened up, and Ahsoka and Anakin walked out. The rest of the Young Justice followed behind them.

"Chancellor Amidala," Anakin said as he, Ahsoka and Padmé bowed to one another. "This is most unexpected."

"Is there something wrong?" Ahsoka asked.

"Come with me," Padmé said. "I'll explain in my office."

Ahsoka and Anakin looked to each other with confusion before the rest of the Young Justice, led by Paula, walked out and went after the three.

In the Chancellor's Office, Padmé pulled up footage of all of the battles the Young Justice were in ever since they arrived in the Expanded Universe.

"I have been told that ever since you came here from Earth, you have done nothing but fight and go on endless missions," Padmé said. "How are you feeling?"

"A little banged up," Saw said. "But I'd say we can handle the next assignment you have for us, Chancellor."

"Good, because what I have for you is something that you can't turn down," Padmé said. "Are you up for it?"

"Sure," Ahsoka replied. "What is it?"

"I am pulling you out of all missions for the next two days," Padmé said. "Don't worry. I'm sure we can send others to take any missions meant for you, but for now, I want you all to go to Naboo, stay there for as long as you want."

The Young Justice all looked to each other with surprise.

"Are you giving us… a break?" Artemis asked.

Padmé smiled. "Yes, of course," she said. "What else would it be? After all, you've all done so much for the Republic, and I'm sure you must all be exhausted after pulling off all of those missions."

Ahsoka smiled. "Thank you, Chancellor," she said. "We can't thank you enough."

"You can still call me Padmé," Padmé said. She looked to Anakin and smiled. The Chosen One took notice of this and smiled back. "Anakin will show you to the Lake Country. There is a beach there where you can relax until you are ready to get back into the field."

Anakin nodded. "Of course," he said. "I remember it well, Milady. We'll be sure to leave whenever we're all ready."

"Excellent," Padmé said. "Take advantage of the opportunity I am providing you. Until you are all ready, there will be no missions for you from me or the Jedi Council. I will consult with the Masters myself to make sure of that."

"Thank you, Your Excellency," Aqualad said as he, Paula, Anakin, Barriss and the rest of the Young Justice bowed in respect. "This is most appreciated."

"If there is ever anything we can do to make this up to you, we'll do it." Zatanna said.

"Alright, Team," Ahsoka said as she turned to the Young Justice. "From now until we're ready, we are officially on break!"

All of the Young Justice cheered while Anakin and Padmé looked to each other and smiled.

"Not too bad as Acting Chancellor." Anakin complimented.

"Just trying to do my part," Padmé said. "After all, Ahsoka and the Young Justice deserve this kind of break."

"I remember our time out on the lake before the Clone War started," Anakin said. "I'm sure the Young Justice will have an equally good time. Not as good as the short time we had, but a good time for sure."

Padmé smiled before she turned her attention back to the Young Justice, clearing her throat and getting them to listen to her again. "I have already contacted Queen Neeyutnee to let her know of your stay on Naboo," she said. "I promise that you will all have a good time."

"We will make the most of it, your Excellency." Serra said.

"Okay," Padmé said. "Now, my next order… go already!" she said with a laugh. "This is my gift to you. Don't let it go to waste!"

All of the Young Justice chuckled before Ahsoka, Anakin and Paula led them all out.

"I already missed one day at the beach," Wally said to Artemis. "I may have been there for the second day off, but going to a planet like Naboo? I am not turning something like that down!"

"Never been to Naboo before," Artemis mused. "But if it's anything like what Anakin and Ahsoka say it is, I can't wait to take the time to relax there."

"You and me both, Sister." Raquel said.

Meanwhile, on Mustafar, Darth Maul was looking to the progress of the work inside of a factory in his base. All around the factory were workers, all experimenting with different chemicals or weapons while Death Watch Devils tested them out.

"How goes the progress of the formula?" Darth Maul asked one of his scientists.

"Our Enhancer is coming along right as scheduled," the scientist replied. "Thanks to Ziton Moj and his reconnaissance on Mon Gazza, we were able to create just what you needed to counter the Young Justice and the other heroes from Earth."

"Excellent," Darth Maul said with a nod. "And what of our test subjects?"

"So far, they are proving to be useful," the scientist reported. "We have been monitoring them for a while, and there appear to be no side-effects to the Enhancer."

Darth Maul nodded. "Good," he said. "Keep me updated," he said as he turned away. "I want to know everything that's happening."

"Of course, Lord Maul." The head scientist replied as Darth Maul left the room.

Before Darth Maul made his way back to his quarters, he turned to one of the Death Watch Devils at the door.

"Make sure that we have everything we need to pull off this operation without any problems," Darth Maul ordered. "I don't want any interference this time, Saxon."

"Yes, Lord Maul." Gar Saxon said as Darth Maul walked away.

On the Equinox over Coruscant, the Young Justice members were getting ready for their vacation on Naboo. Ahsoka was in her room, looking into a mirror. She closed her eyes and used the shapeshifting skills she learned from Miss Martian to give herself a look similar to her first one, only without tights and toeless flats replacing her boots. She opened her eyes and smiled at her appearance before walking out of her room.

"Rare that we get a chance to take a break like this," Lux said as he and Kid Flash turned to Ahsoka before Artemis came in over in a green one piece swimsuit. "I still can't actually believe that the Chancellor is allowing us to take this kind of opportunity."

"Technically, she's the stand-in only," Paula said as she wheeled herself over in her normal clothes. "But it's still from the Chancellor nonetheless."

"I don't think I've ever felt so relaxed like this before," Zatanna said as she walked over, wearing a red tube top and skirt with black open-toed shoes. "This will be the life."

"Right," Ahsoka said before turning to Dinah. "Black Canary, you look after the rest of the Young Justice," she ordered. "If there's an emergency, be sure to let us know."

"Will do," Black Canary replied with a nod. "You just go and have fun. You've all earned it."

"Well, you heard them," Anakin said as he readied his Jedi Starfighter. "Time to get a move on."

"Everyone, into the Bioship!" Ahsoka called out as the rest of the Young Justice came over, all ready for their long-awaited vacation.

Everyone, including Barriss and Katooni, entered the Bioship before the Hangar Bay doors opened. Anakin flew out first, with Miss Martian piloting the Bioship right behind him. Soon, the two ships were off, making the jump to Lightspeed on a straight course set for Naboo.

On Naboo, Royal Guard and Captain Panaka walked up to the Landing Area in the Hangar Bay of the Theed Palace. Landing in the Hangar was a Ship with gold coating and an engraving of an Eclipse on the side. Out from it came 10 Terrelian Jango Jumpers, one leading the group while the other nine guarded five crates on a cart.

"Yai Lan," Captain Panaka said sternly. "This is your tenth trade arrival this cycle. What exactly are you selling?"

"Just something to help give your people the right push," Yai Lan replied. "Nothing the Queen needs to worry about."

"I am asking on the Queen's orders," Captain Panaka explained. "Now… what have you been selling?"

Yai Lan narrowed his eyes. "Very well," he said. "This is a special refreshment we have made called V9," he started to explain. "We sold it during the Battle of Mandalore before Almec's rule came to an end. According to our studies, it has boosted the body of anyone, giving them a real jolt and a run for their money… which has been spent very wisely."

"You can tell that to the Queen and the Chancellor," Captain Panaka said. "I do not know who is funding you, but after the recent thefts following the arrival of your V9 on this Planet…"

"What kind of thefts are we talking about, Captain?" Yai Lan asked.

"Recently, someone has been taking small amounts of your V9," Captain Panaka explained. "Roughly the size of cups, but whoever has been taking it hasn't taken it all," he said. "I thought you were aware of this."

"My funder wants the V9 to be handed out to everyone," Yai Lan said sternly. "I may not be your commanding officer, but I suggest you put a guard around the warehouse to prevent more thefts… or else you will be hearing from me and my funder very soon," he said as he motioned for the crates to be put down. "I may be a businessman, but when it comes to my trade items, I won't stand for it." He said before walking away back onto his Ship.

Captain Panaka looked to the new crates again before looking to the guards. "Get me in touch with Senator Amidala." He ordered.

At the same time, Anakin and the Young Justice came out of Hyperspace over Naboo. Within his Jedi Starfighter, Anakin led the Young Justice over towards a watery area of Naboo. As he flew towards the area, the Young Justice followed within the Bioship.

"So, Skyguy," Ahsoka said as she walked around inside of the Bioship. "How do you know about this Lake Country?" she asked. "Sounds like such a secret place if Padmé entrusted you to lead us there?"

Inside of his Jedi Starfighter, Anakin gulped. "Well… before the Battle of Geonosis, I was tasked with safeguarding Senator Amidala from any assassination attempt," he explained. "We hid out in the Lake Country for a while before we eventually went to Tatooine."

"So, your first date?" Rocket asked.

"We were just… hiding out, that's all," Anakin said, trying to hide away the fact that he and Padmé were married, even though Ahsoka already knew it. "Anyway, we're here," he said as he landed his Jedi Starfighter at the Landing Bay. "Your vacation starts now, Young Justice."

Everyone looked out the window to see the beach near the lake house.

"This place is beautiful!" Zatanna exclaimed.

"I can't believe Padmé even owns a place like this!" Superboy exclaimed.

"I can't either," Ahsoka said. "I mean, she was the Queen, but I never thought she'd have a place like this!"

Kid Flash smiled as he looked down while eating a protein bar. Suddenly, as his eyes wandered at the surface of Naboo, he suddenly saw a streak of what appeared to be green and yellow lightning zoom by before disappearing.

Artemis took notice of Wally as his eyes drifted off from the beach, now following the lightning.

"Hey, Baywatch!" Artemis said, snapping her fingers in Wally's face. "Wally! Hello?"

"What?" Wally asked as he looked to Artemis. "What did you say?"

"You ready?" Artemis asked. "We don't get a chance like this every day, you know."

"Right, right," Kid Flash said. "Let's go."

Anakin waited outside of the Bioship as the ramp came down. Ahsoka and Lux came down first with Paula, and the rest of the Young Justice followed, all running towards the beach.

"You know, Artemis once talked about visiting the beach," Paula said as Ahsoka and Lux smiled to each other. "But that was when Lady Shiva revealed herself."

"Well, at least we have no surprises here," Ahsoka said. "Just fun, the sun and a day off for us all."

"I'm betting we're going to have a better time here than our beach party on Earth," Lux said before grinning at Ahsoka. "Race you to the beach?"

"Don't hold back!" Ahsoka called out before she and Lux ran off.

Anakin and Paula chuckled. "You not going to run after them?" the Chosen One asked Mrs. Crock.

"I'm going to wheel it this time," Paula replied as she wheeled herself towards the beach. "It's been a while since I've stayed off my own two feet." She added on before she and Anakin made their way towards the beach.

From a distance away, as the Young Justice started to make themselves feel at home on the beach, the same blur of green and yellow lightning blurred by. A female figure in the blur watched as all of the Young Justice ran along the sand before taking notice of Kid Flash. She raced away just as some of the workers at the Lake House came over to help the Young Justice with making their vacation last as long as they wanted it to.

Aqualad took out his Water-Bearers on one of the islands facing the beach and lifted up the water, creating waves. Saw and Jaybo swam over towards the waves with surfboards on their backs before Kaldur'ahm started to make the waves flow. Both Saws and Jaybo started to surf the waves while Raquel and Lux played volleyball with Connor and Katooni, serving the ball over the net towards one another while the Boy of Steel showed the Tholothian Padawan how to play.

"On your mark… get set…" Paula said as Wally and Serra got into running positions. The Mother of Artemis smirked before taking out her blaster and shooting into the air, signaling for the two to start running, their race beginning.

Robin sat with Zatanna on a towel on the sand covered by an umbrella. The mage chuckled as she watched the surf-off. She grinned and took out her wand, causing the waves to become more intense and letting Saw and Jaybo surf more on the wild side.

"You gonna join in, Dick?" Zatanna asked as she looked to Robin while taking off her shoes.

"Planning on making a sand castle," Dick replied as he looked to Zatanna. "I really want to see how sand holds together in the Expanded Universe."

"Seeing as that's what you have your eyes on, I'd be happy to join you," Zatanna said as she playfully kicked her shoes off. Dick looked to her bare feet. Zatanna eyed at the Boy Wonder and swung her feet to his face, allowing him to get a perfect view of her feet. "But maybe it's time you put your eyes on something more… attractive."

Dick chuckled and took a quick whiff of Zatanna's feet, causing her to chuckle. She let him grab her feet before he started to rub one foot while she placed the other in her face, rubbing it around before he leaned in towards her sole and inhaled deeply as she giggled again.

Artemis sighed happily as she swam on the water. She performed two backstrokes and flexed her foot into the air before diving down, swimming around. She leapt up and dived back into the water, creating a splash.

Ahsoka lifted up her hand and levitated sand into the air, forming it into a tower before placing it onto the ground. Miss Martian, standing parallel to Ahsoka, used her powers to create a moat while Ahsoka created more towers and put them together in the middle of the moat.

Barriss came over, giving Ahsoka a bottle of water, a sun reflector and some shades. Ahsoka turned to the Mirialan and raised an eyebrow.

"Why aren't you letting loose?" Ahsoka asked. She patted her friend on the back as Miss Martian created more towers from the sand. "Go on! Have some fun!"

"I don't really think I should," Barriss replied. "You know, with me on probation and all."

"What are you saying here?" Miss Martian asked as she continued to build the sand castle.

"I was only released so I could be watched over while I help you," Barriss explained. "Don't think there's much for me to do while I'm still technically a prisoner."

"Well, how about we make an exception?" Ahsoka asked. "You don't have to serve anyone for today, because today… you're here to have some fun!"

Barriss looked to Ahsoka with surprise. "You really mean it?" she asked.

"Don't let this day go to waste!" Ahsoka said. "Let loose! Live a little!"

Barriss chuckled. "Well, then…" she said as she looked to the sand castle in progress. "How about we add a drawbridge?" she suggested, levitating a small piece of wood over and using her remaining spider webbing skills to put it into place, creating a drawbridge at the sandcastle.

Anakin and Paula waited at the same spot where Serra and Wally took off. Soon, Serra raced back, crossing a line in the sand before Wally came in behind her.

"It was close," Anakin said. "But… the Shan wins once again."

Wally panted. "I must be losing it," he said. "I've never lost a race before!"

"You've been learning more secrets with your speed," Serra said. "But maybe you haven't learned to go quite that fast yet."

"I still think I'm losing my touch," Wally said as he looked to his timer, seeing how fast he made it. "I'm usually breaking my records. I've never gone below my top speed before."

"You're always going to be faster in my book," Anakin said. "You're the fastest kid alive."

"I hope so," Wally said as he spun around, getting into his suit. "I'm going to go for a jog. I'll be back, though. Don't worry."

"I'll be waiting here for another race!" Serra called out.

Kid Flash grinned and put on his goggles before racing off. As he took off, Artemis came back onto the beach, the wind from his speed acting as a blow-dryer for her just as she went to get a towel.

"Um, where's he going?" Artemis asked.

"For a jog," Anakin said. "He'll be back."

Back on Coruscant, Padmé was looking over the files of Mara Jade sent by Quinlan Vos a couple months back. She narrowed her eyes at the encrypted files before dialing the holo-transmitter.

"Master Kenobi?" Padmé asked as a hologram of Obi-Wan Kenobi came up.

"How may I be of help, Chancellor?" Obi-Wan asked.

"I know that you're looking into the whereabouts of Mara Jade's parents, but I want you to have Madame Jocasta Nu look at these files," Padmé said. "There's something familiar I'm seeing here."

"I see," Obi-Wan said. "I shall speak to Madame Jocasta about the situation immediately," he reported. "It never hurts to have more helping hands."

"See that you do," Padmé said before she and Obi-Wan signed off. Just as Obi-Wan ended the transmission, a hologram of Captain Panaka came up. Padmé looked to him with surprise. "Panaka!" she exclaimed. "This is quite a surprise. Is something wrong? Did the DarkSiders or the Separatists attack?"

"It is a pleasure to see you again, Milady," Captain Panaka said. "Naboo is not under attack, but there have been strange shipments coming in from the Terrelian Trade Corps."

"Another trade deal?" Padmé asked herself. "Is it serious? Do I need to come there to help take care of the problem?"

"The Leader of the Trade Corps, Yai Lan, has been bringing in a new drink called V9," Captain Panaka reported. "There have been small thefts from the warehouse, nothing too serious, but Yai Lan is demanding that the thefts stop, or else he and his funder will come here to take care of the problem by their own means," he said, causing Padmé's eyes to widen. "I would like to request the assistance of the Young Justice based on their mission reports from earlier battles."

"They are on Naboo, but I have given them a break from their battles," Padmé said. "I will try to contact the Justice League and have them try to take care of the situation instead."

"This problem must be resolved soon," Captain Panaka said. "We cannot risk a war with a business corporation, especially when I am getting a bad feeling about the funder for the V9."

Padmé nodded before Captain Panaka signed off. She dialed the holo-transmitter again, bringing up Icon.

"Icon, I need you and the League to head to Naboo immediately," Padmé ordered. "An old friend of mine, Captain Panaka, will explain everything from there."

Back on Naboo, Kid Flash was running through the streets of the city. People looked to the red blur as wind blew before he came to a stop, checking on his stopwatch.

"Still under my record!" Kid Flash exclaimed. "I need to go faster. I need to increase my speed!"

At that moment, an explosion sounded off. Everyone, Kid Flash included, looked to the source before seeing Sugi and some Bounty Hunters getting away from a warehouse with some crates.

"Sugi?!" Kid Flash exclaimed. He ran over towards her and made her drop the crates in her hands before pinning her to a wall. "What are you doing?"

"Sorry, Kid, but this is a paid job!" Sugi said before pushing Kid Flash off. "I'd love to talk, but I have a client on Mon Gazza who wants this stuff, and he's paying a handsome price for anyone who can bring it to him!"

"Not on my watch!" Kid Flash quipped before racing off, leaving dust flying at Sugi.

Wally raced to each of the Bounty Hunters working with Sugi, knocking as many crates out of their hands as he could before a Bounty Hunter with a flamethrower shot at him, causing him to duck before another Bounty Hunter hit him.

"You're not taking us in!" one of the Bounty Hunters said as he placed his sword on his shoulder. "I'm sure you'll make a fine prize for my boss in the Keruga System."

All of a sudden, a blur of green and yellow lightning zoomed by, disarming the Bounty Hunters. Kid Flash looked up in surprise before all of the Bounty Hunters were tied up to a pole. He sped back up onto his feet and raced to the blur.

"Who are you?" Kid Flash asked. He suddenly saw someone standing in the blur before she took off. "Get back here!" he called out, racing after the new speedster.

Everyone watched as the two speedsters raced through the warehouse, one of the crates containing V9 disappearing as the streak of yellow and green lightning passed before Kid Flash raced after her. He looked to the side and raced through another alley.

The female speedster turned around and chuckled, seeing that Kid Flash was no longer there. Then, all of a sudden, he reappeared from an alley next to her and threw her to the side, the two no longer vibrating.

Kid Flash looked down to the female speedster. She wore a gold and orange helmet that covered most of her head except for her eyes, a black and red top with yellow streaks of lightning on it, crimson pants with green lightning streaks on it, and grey boots with gold trim.

"You…" the female speedster said. "You're Kid Flash!"

"And you…" Kid Flash said. "You're under arrest."

"For what? Stopping a crime?" the female speedster asked. "I'm not doing anything wrong. You're my hero!"

"Is that so?" Kid Flash asked before removing his mask. "You have a place we can talk?"

"Sure," the female speedster replied, nudging her head to the side. "Follow me."

Kid Flash and the new female speedster raced off to an abandoned outhouse near the forest. Inside, Wally saw pictures of Podraces, as well as shots of Anakin winning his first Podracing event on Tatooine and himself winning on Mon Gazza.

"Podracer Fan?" Kid Flash asked.

"Something like that," the female speedster said before removing her helmet, revealing a face with blue eyes and messy bob-cut pink hair that, on the right side, was partially tied into a small side ponytail. "I've followed all of the great speedsters, but you're my favorite," she explained. "The name's Jessika, by the way, but I always preferred the name Jesse." She introduced herself as she held her hand out.

"Hello, Jesse," Wally said as he shook Jessika's hand. "I'm Wally West."

"I am so pumped to meet you!" Jesse exclaimed.

"Yeah… and I thought my only fans were on Mon Gazza," Wally mused. "So, how'd you get your powers?"

"Well, it all happened so quick," Jessika started to explain. "One day, I was running around the lake when a storm came. I tried to run back to my place, but lightning struck me, and I was out for days. When I finally came to, I found that everything around me was going slower, and I was moving faster. I was scared, but I learned to control my newfound speed, and a couple of days ago, I caught a taste of a drink called V9. I was going faster than ever!" she exclaimed. "I made myself a suit I wanted to make exactly like yours, but it came out different for me. All I know is that this speed is a gift from the Gods, like the Force to a Jedi."

"For Speedsters, it's called the Speed Force," Wally explained. "It's how me, my Uncle and the original Flash back on Earth came to Speedsters. We all have the Speed Force, and, from what you've told me, so do you."

"Nice!" Jessika exclaimed. She took a container and put it into two bottles. She took one of them and handed the other to Wally. "Here, have a drink," she said. Wally looked to the drink with an eyebrow raised. "Don't worry. No alcohol. I've run some tests on it a dozen times. Trust me."

"Well, I do need to keep up my calories," Wally said before taking a sip. He suddenly chuckled upon drinking it. "Whoo! What a rush!" he exclaimed. "What is this stuff?"

"Called V9, the stuff I told you about," Jessika explained. "I don't know what's in it, but it's helped me to become faster. That's why I've been using my speed, combined with V9, to help out against the crime here on Naboo. Is that why you're here too? To help stop the thefts?"

"Nah, I'm here on vacation," Wally said. He suddenly felt something in his systems. "You're saying this stuff can help you go faster?"

"Nine times as fast, as a matter of fact," Jessika explained. "I won't interfere with your vacation. You should go back and have some fun. If any more criminals strike again, I'll take care of it," she said. "And you can have that bottle. You look like you could use it."

Wally smiled as he got up. "Thanks," he said. "Well… see you around. If you need me, I'll be here in a flash." He said before racing off.

Jessika smiled. "That kid," she said. "He's gonna go far."

Captain Panaka stood at the warehouse with some of the guards.

"Another break-in," Captain Panaka said before seeing Kid Flash race by. "Kid Flash, thank goodness you're here!"

"Something wrong?" Kid Flash asked. "Do I know you?"

"I'm Captain Panaka," Captain Panaka introduced himself. "I served alongside Padmé Amidala during the Battle of Naboo."

"Oh, she's mentioned you," Kid Flash said. He turned to the warehouse. "Is this about the attack here?" he asked.

"Yes," Captain Panaka replied. "Thefts of shipments have been reported."

"Don't worry," Kid Flash said. "Me and another speedster took care of it. Just make sure that there are heavily-armed guards around the clock."

"Will do," Captain Panaka said. "Do you think you can get Robin here too?" he asked. "I was told that the Justice League would get here, but I think we could use some of the Boy Wonder's skills too."

"Sure," Kid Flash replied. "I'm sure I can get Rob away for a while," he said before putting his goggles back on. "See you around, Captain!" he said before racing off, faster than usual this time.

At the beach, Ahsoka, Miss Martian and Barriss were continuing to build their sand castle. Dick and Zatanna were helping as well, making another sand castle nearby.

Artemis walked towards Serra, Anakin and Paula, coming out from the water again and drying herself off with a towel. "Is Baywatch back yet?" the archer asked as she felt her feet.

"He should be back here soon," Serra said. "I'm sure that a jog will help him go faster."

At that moment, Wally raced in, now back in his beach clothes. As he raced in, he blew a massive gust of wind, causing everyone to cover themselves as sand suddenly flew through the air.

"That was fast!" Anakin said.

"Yeah," Wally said as he put down his bottle and looked to his timer. "Wow! I actually beat my record!"

"Had a nice jog?" Artemis asked as Dick and Zatanna came over, covered in sand.

"Yeah," Wally replied before looking to Robin. "Oh, Rob, I met with Captain Panaka in the city," he said. "He says he could use your help with a case."

"Is that so?" Dick asked.

"Hey, don't worry," Anakin said. "I'll go with you to see what's going on. I know Captain Panaka myself."

Dick sighed. "Okay," he said before looking to Zatanna. "I'll be back."

"I'll be waiting for you." Zatanna said before she kissed Dick on the cheek.

Anakin and Dick looked to each other and nodded. The two went towards a speeder and took off towards the city.

"So, ready for another race?" Serra asked.

"You bet!" Wally exclaimed as he and Serra got into another starting position.

"On your mark… get set…" Paula started off.

"Run, Wally, run!" Artemis finished up.

Wally and Serra took off, but Wally left in such a rush that wind blew as Serra trailed after him. Even Aqualad, Jaybo and Saw watched as the two raced off the shore and onto another island.

"You're good!" Serra called out. "But a Jedi can match any speed!" she yelled before she began to race faster.

"Try and keep up!" Wally called out as they raced across the water again.

"Whoa!" Ahsoka exclaimed as she, Barriss and M'gann watched. "How fast does he usually go?"

"Not this fast," Zatanna said as she watched Wally race like lightning across the beach. "Damn…!"

"Look at him!" Artemis exclaimed. "Serra doesn't have a chance!"

At that moment, Kid Flash raced back, with Serra running right behind him before stopping to catch her breath.

"How did you do that?" Serra asked. "You weren't this fast before, and even a Jedi can match the speed of guys like you, Barry and Jay."

"I guess that jog did its work right," Wally said as he came to a halt. "Maybe all I needed to do was stretch my legs."

"You go any faster, and you just might break the sound barrier." Artemis mused.

Downtown, Anakin and Dick, now in his Robin Uniform, arrived in a speeder. As they got out, they could see Captain Panaka speaking with Yai Lan.

"I heard there was another attack on this warehouse," Yai Lan said as Anakin and Robin came over. "Was any more of the V9 stolen?"

"We are checking that right now," Captain Panaka said. "If anything was stolen, I will be the first to know about it, but you don't have to worry. Kid Flash stopped the robbery today."

"Must I remind you of our new trade agreement?" Yai Lan asked. "We are one of the business partners bringing in new refreshments for you and the people of Naboo. The Terrelian Trade Corps are to never be robbed."

"I think you made that clear the moment you found out about these thefts, Sir." Captain Panaka snarked.

"Don't get smart with me, Captain," Yai Lan said sternly. "If I am forced to resort to taking care of the problem myself—"

"Is there a problem here?" Anakin asked as he and Robin came over. "Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Knight."

"Good, a Jedi," Yai Lan said. "Perhaps you can look into what has happened here."

"I'm on it," Robin said as he went over towards the scene. "Don't make a fuss."

Anakin looked to Captain Panaka and held out his hand. "Captain Panaka, it's good to see you again," the Chosen One said. "You remember me from all those years ago, right?"

"Yes," Captain Panaka said as he shook Anakin's hand. "It is nice to see how far you've come from the boy who stopped the Invasion of Naboo."

"I want these shipment thefts to stop," Yai Lan said as Anakin and Captain Panaka turned back to him. "If a major supply of V9 is stolen, you will be hearing from me and my funder!" he exclaimed before storming off.

"New business problems?" Anakin asked.

"These are new partners," Captain Panaka said. "By the way, I heard about the sacrifice Sonia made on Tython. Give your Apprentice my regards."

"Thank you, Captain," Anakin said. "Now, as requested, I brought Robin with me. Being the partner of the greatest detective on Earth, he should be able to find out about your stolen goods easily."

Robin sighed as he came back. "Wish it were that easy," he said. "Captain Panaka, do you know the contents of this stolen drink?"

"V9?" Captain Panaka asked. "I don't know what its contents are, but I can supply you with a recent delivery to study," he said. "I'm sure Yai Lan won't mind if you take a look at one of his drinks."

"Thanks," Robin said. He suddenly saw some marks on the ground. "Kid Flash said that he stopped the recent robbery, right?" he asked.

"Yes," Captain Panaka replied. "He and another speedster. Do you have one in the Young Justice?"

"Kid Flash is the only speedster around," Robin said. His eyes suddenly widened. "Wait. You said there was another?"

"Sometime after you destroyed Gemini Rouge, there was another speedster around, catching criminals coming to this warehouse district," Captain Panaka explained. We don't know who it is, but the speedster is fast. We can only see streaks of yellow and green lightning."

"We don't know a speedster like that," Anakin said. "Only ones we know are the Flash back on Earth and Kid Flash here."

"We should give them some space," Anakin said. "Remember, Sonia was Sylas's Daughter. He was pretty shaken up when she died."

Robin sighed as he looked to the vials of V9 he was given. "I'll run a scan on these, see what I can find out," he said. "For now, be sure to keep us posted if there are any more break-ins."

"Thanks," Captain Panaka said with a nod. Robin nodded back and went to the speeder. As Anakin was about to follow, the Captain grabbed him. "Anakin, do you think you can say 'hi' to my nephew for me?" he asked.

"Sure," Anakin replied. "Who's your nephew?"

"You should know him," Quarsh said. "He lost an eye in service to Padmé when she became the Senator."

Anakin's eyes widened. "You're the Uncle of Captain Typho?" he asked.

"I'm surprised you didn't know." Quarsh said.

"I'll make sure Captain Typho knows you miss him," Anakin said. "I hear they call you the Quickest Eyes on Naboo now."

"I get every detail right." Captain Panaka said.

"Farewell, Quick-Eyes." Anakin said before he joined Robin.

Captain Panaka saluted to Anakin before he and Robin took off.

At the same time, Jessika was racing through the forest. As she was racing, she suddenly took notice of a Mandalorian Fighter flying down.

"This is bad!" Jessika exclaimed. "I've gotta let Wally know!" she said before racing off towards the Lake Country.

At the Lake Country, Black Canary flew down towards the Lake House in a Gunship with some Clone Troopers. All of the Young Justice, getting out of the water to get their towels and get dry, suddenly noticed Dinah land before she and her squadron of Clone Troopers got out.

"What's Dinah doing here?" Serra asked.

"Think she's here to have fun?" Jaybo asked.

"Doubt it," Katooni said as Black Canary walked towards them. As she did, Anakin and Robin came back. "What's going on here?"

"Well, we were called to Naboo to investigate something with new trade partners," Black Canary explained. "I thought it wouldn't be anything too big, but then I saw a Mandalorian Ship enter Naboo and make its way down to the surface."

"Death Watch is here?!" Artemis exclaimed.

"What's going on?" Robin asked as he and Anakin came over.

"Apparently, the Shadow Collective has struck," Zatanna said. "Fortunately, I think we're all done with our day at the beach."

"We need to make sure the Death Watch doesn't hurt anyone." Ahsoka said.

"I'll catch up with you later," Robin said before taking out a vial. "I have to run some tests on some stolen chemicals from the warehouse district."

"Right," Ahsoka said before looking to the rest of the Young Justice. "Everyone, get dry and suit up. We need to get the Shadow Collective out of here."

"I'll take some Clones and patrol the area," Wally said as he spun around and gained his suit. "We'll alert you once we know where they're going to attack."

Ahsoka nodded. "Miss Martian, can you link us up once Kid Flash and the Clones find out what Death Watch is up to?" she asked.

"Linking everyone up now." Miss Martian replied telepathically.

"Let's go!" Paula called out as she stood up, gaining her Huntress Suit before she and her Daughter went to help scout the area.

"Just let me get a drink first." Kid Flash said as he went for his bottle.

"I need a drink too." One of the Clone Troopers said as he walked over.

Kid Flash took a quick sip of the V9. As he left, the Clone Trooper came over and drank it as well before leaving. Robin noticed the bottle and brought it inside as he put his stuff down to get to work.

In the forest, Jessika noticed the Death Watch Devils getting off. She narrowed her eyes and pressed her helmet, closing the visor before racing off and sending four of the Death Watch Devils to the ground. She continued to knock them down before she made her way towards Wally as he led the Clone Troopers into the forest with Artemis and Huntress by his side.

"M'gann, are you seeing anything?" Kid Flash asked as Miss Martian flew in camouflage mode towards the Death Watch Ship.

"The Death Watch Devils are heading to the City," Miss Martian reported before seeing some of them on the ground, groaning. "And someone took out most of them already."

"Sweep the forest," Kid Flash ordered. "We need to find out what they're up to."

"Artemis, with me!" Paula called out as she and Artemis ran towards one part of the forest while the rest of the Clone Troopers fanned out.

At that moment, Jessika raced towards Wally.

"Please tell me you saw the Ship." Jessika said.

"Jesse!" Kid Flash exclaimed. "What are you doing here?"

"I came to warn you!" Jessika said. "I don't know what Death Watch is doing here, but if they're going to attack the same warehouse again, I'm going to need more help."

"Right," Kid Flash said as he put on his goggles. "Let's go."

Kid Flash and Jesse zoomed off. As they did, the Clone Troopers continued to search the forest. However, the Clone Trooper who drank some of Wally's V9 suddenly started to feel his head. He hit his helmet and went back to work, but as he took one step forward, he found himself at least twenty feet away from where he once stood.

Meanwhile, some of the Death Watch Devils were advancing towards the warehouse.

"Fan out!" a Death Watch Devil Commando ordered. "I want everything in that warehouse on our Ship pronto!"

Miss Martian narrowed her eyes before placing her hand to her head. "Ahsoka, they're attacking a warehouse downtown," she reported. "Gonna need more than two lightsabers here."

"We're on our way!" Ahsoka called out as she, Katooni, Serra and Barriss made their way towards the city.

Back at the Lake House, Robin was looking over the V9 sample he was given.

"These compounds… they're all similar to what we see in Barry and Wally's DNA," Robin said. "They're connected to the Speed Force."

"What does that mean?" Anakin asked. "And what's the Speed Force?"

"The Speed Force is what every of the Speedsters are linked to," Robin explained. "Jay Garrick was one of the people connected to the Speed Force before he retired. Barry was the second person to gain it, and the third was Wally."

"And the fourth was Inertia, technically," Anakin said. "So, what does this make the V9?"

"Some sort of Speed Enhancer," Robin said as he continued to study the contents of V9. "It increases someone's speed, but it also causes some sort of breakdown, deteriorating the body."

"That doesn't sound good," Anakin said. "Why would the Terrelian Trade Corps want to sell this?"

"Don't know," Robin said as he reached for Wally's bottle. "Gonna need a drink," he said before some of his drink spilled onto his test table. "Huh?" he asked, seeing something in the drink. "What's this?"

Robin placed the sample of V9 under his microscope and compared it with the drink that was spilled.

"What is it?" Anakin asked.

"Wally had this drink," Robin said. "It's not just a drink. It's the V9!"

At the warehouse district, the Clone Troopers arrived with Black Canary. Dinah let out her Canary Cry on some of the Death Watch Devils before the rest of the Clone Troopers fired at them. Ahsoka, Miss Martian, Serra, Katooni and Barriss deflected some fire from some more of the Death Watch Devils before Superboy slammed down, sending two more away.

One of the Death Watch Devils tossed a grenade at the Clone Troopers. The Clone Trooper who had a drink of the V9 saw it and ran to catch it, surprisingly going at an incredibly fast speed as he caught it before throwing it back, blue lightning forming as he raced.

"What?" Saw asked as he lowered his blaster.

Kid Flash raced into the battle, knocking aside more of the Death Watch Devils before Jessika joined him. The two continued to fight against the Death Watch Devils before seeing what had happened with the Clone Trooper.

"What's going on?" Kid Flash asked.

"Another Speedster?!" Barriss asked. Her eyes suddenly widened. "Oh no!" she exclaimed. "I know that blue lightning!"

Ahsoka and Miss Martian both threw back a Death Watch Devil before seeing what was going on.

The Clone Trooper raced towards the Death Watch Devil and shot at him repeatedly before he started to shoot at the rest while running uncontrollably.

"Take him down!" a Death Watch Devil called out.

The Clone Trooper yelled as he ran towards the other Death Watch Devils, disarming them or shooting at them quickly. He suddenly ran fast as lightning, knocking aside Death Watch Devils and Clone Troopers alike before his hand started to vibrate.

"What's he doing?" Ahsoka asked.

"I don't know," Katooni said. "But it doesn't look good!"

The Clone Trooper looked to his hand before a Death Watch Devil tackled him. He punched back at him, crushing his heart as his hand vibrated through his chest before he got back up.

"Get in the game, Satren," the Clone Trooper said to himself. "Don't lose focus!"

Satren raced off, knocking down Death Watch Devils as more and more of them came.

"Since when did we have another speedster?!" Artemis yelled.

"Stay focused!" Paula said as she slashed down at a Death Watch Devil. "These guys really want what's in that warehouse!"

Ahsoka and Artemis nodded before Ahsoka spun around, slicing apart several Death Watch Devils before shooting at the with her Arm-Mounted Crossbow Gauntlet. Serra did the same while Katooni used her Whirlwind of Destiny to deflect the shots coming from more Death Watch Devils. She sent the blasts to the side, hitting other Death Watch Devils before disarming them. She dropped to the ground to let Barriss fly over and slash them down before Lux shot at them with Jaybo.

Artemis shot at more of the Death Watch Devils before she was suddenly knocked to the ground by Satren. He looked down to her with surprise before shooting a Death Watch Devil in the head. He felt more blue lightning surge through him before seven Death Watch Devils flew over and fired rockets at them from their jetpacks.

"Look out!" Zatanna called out. "Esrever Kcatta Noitcerid!" she incanted, her Spell causing the rockets to fly back at the Death Watch Devils.

Rocket flew up and created a protective barrier from more blasts from more incoming Death Watch Devils. Superboy flew up and tackled two of the Death Watch Devils while Aqualad sent water towards three more of them. Robin ran in with Anakin, the Chosen One disarming three Death Watch Devils before slashing four across the chest.

"What have you got?" Serra asked as she deflected blasts from more Death Watch Devils.

"The substance I found… it's a Speed Enhancer!" Robin exclaimed. "And it turns out Wally's drink had the same compounds in it!"

"What?!" Serra exclaimed.

Ahsoka tossed her lightsaber at seven Death Watch Devils before Anakin caught her lightsaber to stab at another Death Watch Devil. As soon as he was done with his Apprentice's blade, he tossed it back to Ahsoka.

Satren continued to race as the blue lightning grew stronger. Soon, he started to glow as he ran towards the Death Watch Devil Ships, exploding into blue lightning and causing two Ships to explode with him before the rest flew away.

"What was that?" Saw asked as he shot down a remaining Death Watch Devil.

"V9, our mystery substance," Robin explained. "Turns out that the Terrelian Trade Corps have been selling it as a drink, but it's really a Speed Enhancer."

Kid Flash gasped at this.

"So, Wally didn't win the Race with his own Speed?" Saw asked.

"I did an experiment with his drink," Robin said. "Turns out it was V9 too."

Wally looked to Jessika and raced off with her, making his way back to her outhouse and pinning her to the wall.

"What's the meaning of this?!" Kid Flash demanded.

"I don't know!" Jessika answered. "I swear!"

"Your V9 caused Satren to go out of control," Kid Flash said. "V9 isn't a normal drink, it's a drug!"

"I swear, I had no idea!" Jessika exclaimed as Kid Flash lifted her into the air. "I drank it, it didn't do anything to me. I thought it was harmless. I didn't know it would do this!"

"Who made this?!" Kid Flash yelled.

"I don't know!" Jessika exclaimed. "They come from Mustafar, are given to the Terrelian Trade Corps—"

"Wait," Kid Flash said as he put Jessika down. "Where did you say the V9 came from?"

"The crates are from Mustafar," Jessika said as she pointed to the V9 containers. "From there, the Terrelian Trade Corps take them away for trading."

Wally looked to the crates and inspected them. "Where do the Terrelian Trade Corps get these from?" he asked.

"They hate Mustafar, so someone leaves them on Mon Gazza," Jessika explained. "At least… I think they do, from what I've heard. They're funded by some guy named Ziton Moj."

Kid Flash's eyes widened. "Oh, no," he said. "Don't you know who that guy is?!"

"I don't know," Jessika repeated. "A businessman?"

"Worse," Kid Flash said. "He leads the Black Sun!"

"Aren't they with that Maul guy?" Jessika asked.

"They are," Wally said. "They're part of the Shadow Collective, which means that Maul created this…"

"And sold it off as a new drink," Jessika went on. "But what could he gain from this?"

"He wants people to get powers like me or the rest of the Young Justice," Kid Flash said. "Moj must have told him about me and Inertia when he was with the ORDER. We're the fastest guys alive who don't Podrace, and speed was the first thing he wanted to turn into a weapon out of all of our powers."

"Well, when you put it like that, I feel horrible," Jessika said. "Look, I never meant for any of this to happen," she said. "I just wanted to go fast, like you."

"Well, it's not easy to be like your hero," Kid Flash said. "Now, what could Maul want with exposing people to V9?"

Jessika snapped her fingers. "If he wants an army of speedsters, he'll want to conduct experiments," she said. "And those require test subjects."

"That's why Death Watch was here," Kid Flash said. "To find the Guinea Pigs!"

"And they must have come directly from Mustafar to find them!" Jessika deduced. "Every Ship has last pre-set coordinates for a return trip unless they plan to go somewhere else."

Kid Flash clicked his tongue and snapped his fingers at Jesse. "We need to get onto a Fighter and get Maul," he said. "We can't let him or the other DarkSiders continue to spread V9."

"Let's get back to the site and hijack a Ship," Jessika said. "Now that I know the consequences of V9, I want to do anything I can to put an end to this nightmare."

Kid Flash nodded. "Let's go."

Jessika nodded and the two raced off back to the site.

Back at the Lake House, Robin was showing everyone the discovery he made from Wally's drink and the sample of V9. A hologram showing the chemical breakdown for each was shown on the table.

"Wally took this thing and he didn't know what it could do?" Ahsoka asked.

"Seems like it," Robin replied with a nod. "I bet when Satren took it, he didn't know it was V9. Anyone with the Speed Force isn't affected by its side effects, but anyone normal, without the Speed Force in their systems, will die from an overdose of this thing."

"Would someone mind telling me why anyone would make such a thing for the public to use?" Artemis asked.

"The Terrelian Trade Corps were selling these, and there were thefts of it every time a new shipment came in," Anakin said. "I say we talk with Yai Lan and see what he knows about this."

"Any idea where we can find this guy?" Katooni asked.

"I bet he's talking with Captain Panaka about the recent attack right now," Anakin said. "Come on."

"Yai Lan, you have to understand that this was an attack made by Death Watch," Captain Quarsh Panaka said to Yai Lan as the Naboo Guards were taking in the Death Watch Devils. "We were fortunate that the Young Justice was here to stop them before any more V9 was stolen."

Yai Lan scoffed. "None may have been taken, Captain, but this attack had raised the threat level of our competitors," he said as Kid Flash and Jessika sneaked past everyone and onto a Ship. "I warned you about this before, and that was my final warning."

Kid Flash looked to the coordinates set in the Mandalorian Fighter. "You were right," he said to Jessika. "Pre-Set Coordinates for Mustafar."

"You ever fly a ship before?" Jessika asked.

"There's a first time for everything," Kid Flash replied Ashe started up the systems. "Let's go. Maul will never see us coming."

"The Queen does not want a War with you or any other business organization," Captain Panaka said as the Death Watch Fighter took off. "We will find the source of the attackers and—"

"Hey!" A Death Watch Devil called out, causing Panaka and Yai Lan to turn around. "My Ship!"

Kid Flash and Jessika flew off into space, listening to the Mandalorian Death Watch Devils call out to them to come back.

"No turning back now." Jessika said.

"Making the Jump to Lightspeed now." Kid Flash said.

As soon as the Death Watch Fighter was in space, it took off into Hyperspace.

"One of yours?" Yai Lan asked.

"I have no idea who was in that." Captain Panaka replied.

At that moment, the Martian Bioship flew over. Captain Panaka and Yai Lan turned around again. As the Bioship landed, Anakin and the Young Justice came out.

"Yai Lan?" Paula asked as she walked towards the Terrelian Jango Jumper. "We need to have a word with you about your V9."

"I have a right to sue you all for these attacks!" Yai Lan exclaimed. "You were here this whole time and you did nothing!"

"Wait," Captain Panaka said as he looked to the Young Justice. "Where's Kid Flash?"

"He's not here either?" Ahsoka asked.

Katooni looked around and closed her eyes. She used the Force to feel everything around her before walking towards where the Death Watch Fighter once was.

"Your V9 is a drug," Anakin said to Yai Lan sternly. "It enhances speed but also kills anyone who uses it."

"Where are you getting such accusations?!" Yai Lan demanded.

"We did some runs on your drink, and found out it has dangerous contents in it that dangerously enhance speed," Robin said. "Where is this coming from?"

"Mustafar." Katooni spoke up.

"What?" Ahsoka asked.

"I sense that Kid Flash and another speedster were here, and they took a Mandalorian Fighter to Mustafar," Katooni explained. "That's where they are."

"The Black Sun," Barriss said. She turned back to Yai Lan. "Who's been supplying you with this V9?"

"Ziton Moj." Yai Lan answered.

"And the Black Sun went back to the DarkSiders," Miss Martian said. "That means that Maul was behind the distribution of V9!"

"And Wally's running right to Hell," Ahsoka said. "We have to stop them!"

"Let's go." Anakin said before R2 flew over with his Jedi Starfighter. He got in just as the Young Justice got into the Bioship. Both took off and made their way to Mustafar.

On Mustafar, Kid Flash and Jessika's stolen Death Watch Fighter came out of Hyperspace. Both speedsters looked to each other before Wally flew the ship down towards the surface, where other Mandalorian Fighters were.

"Fighter 2174, you are late for check-in," Gar Saxon said over the comlink. "Maintain your position. We want an immediate report."

"Great," Jessika said as she rolled her eyes. "Now they're onto us."

"I'm running a scan on the place," Kid Flash said as he scanned the fort. "Maul is on the top level. We're going to have to race our way through."

"I'm ready if you are." Jessika said as she lowered the visor of her helmet.

"Let's do this," Kid Flash said as he put his goggles on. "This is our Highway to Hell."

Several Death Watch Devils came out and prepared to board the stolen Fighter. As soon as the ramp lowered, Kid Flash and Jessika raced out, knocking aside the Death Watch Devils in their way before disarming the rest.

"More are on their way!" Jessika called out as she saw several heat signatures through her helmet.

"Let's get through them and find Maul!" Kid Flash said before racing towards the door, vibrating right through it.

"Here we come!" Jessika yelled as she ran through the door, this time making a hole in her shape instead of vibrating her molecules.

"Sir, we're under attack!" A Death Watch Devil called out as Maul watched what was happening in his quarters.

"They're too fast!" Another Death Watch Devil called out before letting out a scream.

"We must fall back!" Gar Saxon said to Maul.

"No," Maul said. "Ready more men. The rest of the Young Justice will follow," he ordered. "The Speedsters are mine."

Gar Saxon nodded. "Yes, Lord Maul," he said as he put on his helmet. "I will prepare for a counterattack right away." He said before running off.

Kid Flash and Jessika continued to race through the fort, knocking aside each Death Watch Devil as they went along. Soon, they reached the top floor, and they both leapt into the air and punched the door down, seeing Darth Maul behind it, unfazed as the door fell on front of him.

"You know, it was open." Darth Maul snarked as the two Speedsters came to a halt.

"Darth Maul," Jessika said. "You invaded my Planet."

"I've invaded many Planets before, Child," Darth Maul remarked. "You will have to be more specific."

"We know you're the one behind the distribution of the V9 drug," Kid Flash said. "It stops here!"

"I can see you had a taste of it," Maul mused. "I can sense it in you," he said, causing Kid Flash and Jessika to narrow their eyes at him. "That's right. I know of the Speed Force. It connects to the Force itself. With my Velocity-9 Formula, I have gained speedsters to follow my commands. But you two… you have taken it… and you have not been affected. How very interesting."

"Can it, Maul!" Kid Flash yelled. "We're taking you in!"

Darth Maul laughed and activated his lightsaber. "Come and try," he said before he activated his second lightsaber. "I will make this quick."

Kid Flash and Jessika ran at Darth Maul, who lifted up his leg and performed a wide kick, sending Jessika into the air before Kid Flash kicked him in the chest, sending him backwards as his metal legs scraped the floor. Maul looked up and used the Force to lift Wally into the air before Jessika ran and attempted to punch him. Darth Maul noticed her and grabbed her fist before Kid Flash ran at him again, only for the Sith to send them both back.

At the same time, Anakin flew out of Hyperspace in his Jedi Starfighter, followed by the Young Justice in the Bioship.

"Why would Wally go in alone?" Rocket asked. "We've all seen what Maul is capable of."

"I'm sure he was as surprised as all of us when he discovered what the V9 could do," Ahsoka said. "I know he feels responsible for what happened, but no matter what, we're a team. We have to do this together. We can't act alone."

"I don't think Wally was alone," Barriss said as she looked down, seeing many downed Death Watch Devils. "There's no way he could have taken all of those guys down by himself."

"Really stormed the castle there, Wall-Man." Artemis mused.

"Hey, what's that?" Saw asked as he looked to the hole made by Jessika. "That's not Wally's shape."

"It's not," Connor said as he used his X-Ray Vision to take a closer look at the hole. "That's someone else."

"So there was another Speedster around!" Robin exclaimed. "That would explain… absolutely nothing, actually."

"He mentioned working with another Speedster earlier," Anakin said. "I'm betting that's how he got the V9."

"We'd better get down there and make sure Wally and this new speedster don't do anything foolish." Serra said.

All of a sudden, several Death Watch Fighters flew up towards Anakin's Starfighter and the Bioship.

"I think it's too late for that already," Miss Martian mused as she summoned the controls for the weapons. "Everyone, hang on!"

Inside of the fort, Kid Flash spun around his arms at Darth Maul, creating tornadoes. Jessika did the same, but Darth Maul spun around his lightsabers, countering the tornadoes the two Speedsters sent at him before throwing his lightsabers at them, forcing the two to stop their attack.

"This isn't working!" Jessika called out. "We need to try another approach!"

"Way ahead of you," Kid Flash said. "We're both fast, but he's not even trying to match our speed!"

"He's slow, and we're fast, I get it." Jessika said as she rolled her eyes.

Wally's eyes widened. "The key isn't faster… it's slower," he said. "Okay, change of plan. We have to run away from him to work."

Jessika nodded. "Right."

Darth Maul ran towards the two and slashed at them, only for them to run out of the room.

"What are you up to?" Darth Maul asked.

Outside, Miss Martian fired at the incoming Fighters. Anakin chased two of the Fighters before forming his Jedi Cycle.

"We're going in for a landing!" Ahsoka called out as she unsheathed her lightsabers. "Get ready!"

Kid Flash and Jessika ran outside, where the Young Justice landed and got out. Ahsoka looked to Wally and Jessika as they got into running stances.

"Go." Ahsoka said before she looked to the Death Watch Devils. She formed her SokaTan Symbol and spun around, sending it towards them and sending them back.

Wally and Jessika ran back up the stairs, gaining as much speed as they could. When they reached the top, Darth Maul turned around to slash at them, but Wally sent a punch at his face before Jessika bicycle-kicked him into the wall, causing it to crack.

"Damn you!" Maul yelled as he ran towards the two speedsters again.

Wally and Jessika looked to each other and nodded. They started to run around Maul as he glared at them. Using the lightning trailing behind them, they went faster and faster. Soon, they stopped in front and behind him, throwing the lightning they gained at Maul, sending a surge of electricity through him before the two kicked him into the halls.

Maul looked up and snarled. "You win… this time." He said before deactivating his lightsabers, letting him drop through a passageway beneath him.

Outside, the Young Justice continued to fight against the Death Watch Devils. Anakin, Ahsoka, Katooni, Serra, Miss Martian and Barriss all slashed at the Devils before Artemis, Saw, Rebel, Drol, Robin, Superboy and Huntress shot at them. Aqualad sent his Water-Bearers into the ground and electrocuted the water while Zatanna and Rocket trapped the Death Watch Devils in magically-enhanced bubbles.

Kid Flash and Jessika ran out, seeing what was going on.

"I see you missed the party." Wally quipped.

"Where's Maul?" Ahsoka asked.

"He disappeared," Jessika explained. "After we beat him, we couldn't find him."

"And… who are you?" Anakin asked.

"This is Jessika," Wally explained. "But she likes Jesse better. Really quick in action."

"Quick?" Jesse asked. "How about I use that? Jesse Quick."

"Sounds like a keeper," Wally said before picking up a Death Watch Helmet. "Souvenir!" he cheered before the rest of the Young Justice came over. "Sorry for ruining our day off."

"Oh, we don't mind," Ahsoka said. "In our own way… we all had fun."

Jesse smiled. "Is it okay if I tag along with you?" she asked. "It gets boring on Naboo."

Anakin grinned. "I think you'll make a fine addition to the Young Justice."

Soon, the Young Justice left, the Justice League arriving to fetch them. Maul watched from it all happen from back in his quarters and narrowed his eyes at them before disappearing into the shadows. He pulled up a hologram of League and Young Justice activity, seeing Wonder Woman using her Lasso of Truth to interrogate someone before grinning.

"This will do."
