7. From the Inside

Hello again, everyone! How are you all doing? Good, I hope. This is SuperHeroTimeFan returning to you all with a brand-new Chapter for my latest installment into the Ahsoka Saga Stories, Journey of the Knight: Honor Bound! So glad to be back. Sorry it took me a while to return. I was busy with the last couple of days at College. Good news for my hard Psych Class. I finally got a 45/50 on my latest test! Anyways, I'm going to be sure to make up for my absence. Thank you for continuing to support me. My thanks reaches out to a long way. My thanks especially goes to 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, HarmonyGirl567, Riku Soncazenosee, Dwayne McDuffie, Bowser3000000, animebella09, Slade The Terminator, High Supreme King Of Awesome, Tines Sensahthe, Ultra Neo Kamen Rider 15, Awesometacular Extravaganza, 17lakect, Spartan of Chaos, Just a Crazy-Man, LadyStar10, Neos the Final Builder, ToLegitt2Quit, Carlos Jacob, Wolfslick, CT7567Rules, Outplace, TheGreatGodzilla, Darth Sicarius, AbbyDobbie, Maximus Potter, Darth Khan, Virgil1989 The Crossover King, and of course, all of the Guest Reviewers. I don't know where I would possibly be without any of you. Thank you for supporting me all the way. It means so much. Now, as you know, before I get on with my new Chapter, I address the questions in the Reviews. First off, we have Guest. I want to point out that Zatanna is not brainwashed, and I don't want to bring back Sonia. Please respect my decision and never bring those up again, EVER. Thank you. Now, for CT7567Rules, you gave me a lot of questions, so here they are for me to answer. Connor will find out about the Inhibitor Chips, just not now. You'll see what I have planned to Revenge of the Sith when it comes out. For now, you'll have to wait. I don't know about a volcano Chapter. I have to keep things canon, so I might not have everyone who fought alongside the Young Justice live. Sorry. As of now, there is no more Multiverse that exists in my Ahsoka Saga Stories, so there will be no more of that, and Optimus Prime will have no role whatsoever. For Carlos Jacob, I have not read the Star Wars Aftermath Novels. I can try to use the Unused Concepts from the Untold Clone Wars Stories. As for Vandal Savage returning again, I'll have to see about that. I'll see what I can do for Zatanna, but I want her to keep the Nightsister Robes, as all of the Young Justice have suits from the Expanded Universe. I have plans for the Clones who did not carry out Order 66, I can assure you. I'll see about bringing in Caleb Dume, Tai Uzama and Sammo Quid from The Last Padawan, but I'm not sure how I'll have them join the Young Justice on a mission. Also, did you hear about the Star Wars: Forces of Destiny Animated Series coming out? I'm sure it will be great, as will Season 2 of LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures. Also, did everyone see the new Teaser Trailer for Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi? It was awesome, especially with the new footage of Rey being trained by Luke. Also, did everyone see the new trailer for Star War Rebels: Season Four? It looked awesome, especially with the return of Bo-Katan, more TIE Defenders, the return of Saw Gerrera, and even Kallus as part of the Rebellion! Anyways, I'm looking forward to seeing all of those, and I bet you all are too. Now, with everything 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 7: From the Inside

In Memory of Powers Boothe (June 1st, 1948 – May 14th, 2017)

And…

Chris Cornell (July 20th, 1964 – May 18th, 2017)

Surrender is not to give in, but to find a new approach to a problem.

A new Droid Threat! Following the discovery of a Factory on the Planet of Chalacta and NaJedha, the Young Justice has discovered the creation of a new Droid that can counter the abilities of both Jedi and Sith alike. Hoping to put an end to the creation of these new Fortress Droids, Ahsoka Tano and Anakin Skywalker lead the Young Justice in taking down the Droids and the Factories against the likes of new Droid General, N-K Necrosis. Having already taken down factories on Chalacta and NaJedha, they move onto taking down more factories. With the help of James Hiller, Sarah Phillips and Henri from Earth, the number of Droid Factories has decreased significantly. Now, after helping the Neo Young Justice, Ahsoka and Miss Martian return to the Expanded Universe, where our heroes are recovering on the Planet of Sendai Six from their previous battle while locating where the last Factory might be.

"Equinox, this is the Martian Bioship coming in for a landing," Miss Martian said as she and Ahsoka both made their way into the Hangar Bay in the Bioship. "Clearance Codes 11-38 19-77."

"Acknowledged, General M'orzz," Admiral Dodonna said over the Comms, causing Ahsoka and Miss Martian to smile. "Welcome back to the Expanded Universe."

"Thank you, Admiral," Ahsoka said. "How has the Young Justice been doing in our absence?"

"Quite well, I must say," Obi-Wan's voice came in. "They seem to be holding up even AFTER facing heavy resistance on NaJedha."

"Master Kenobi!" M'gann exclaimed. "How are you doing?"

"Very well, M'gann," Obi-Wan replied. "The Jedi Council has requested me to assist you in the next mission to take down the next Droid Factory."

"Pleasure to have you on board again, Master Kenobi," Ahsoka said as the Martian Bioship made its way into the Hangar Bay. "See you with the others."

Inside of the Hangar Bay, the Young Justice was still recovering. Supply Ships from Sendai Six were getting their supplies loaded off. Zatanna stood with Captain Rex, checking on the new incoming supplies with him.

"Let's see, we have gauze, anesthetics, pain relievers…" Zatanna said as she worked on a holopad alongside Captain Rex. "What else are we missing?"

"Just more water for the Bacta Tanks," Captain Rex replied. "Kixx was specific. Only a certain kind of water can be used for Bacta Tanks, and Sendai Six is one of the Planets where the water comes from."

"Well, where is it?" Zatanna asked. Before anyone could answer, another Supply Ship arrived. "That must be it," she said as she walked over. "Come on."

The new Supply Ship landed inside of the Hangar Bay. James, Henri and Sarah, who were close and talking with other Clone Troopers, looked over as the door opened up. Inside were two boys, about the age of Serra. One of them had blonde hair and was wearing a light-brown cloak, had brown pants and black shoes. The teen next to him had black hair, a green shirt, a black coat, light-brown pants and a cap on his head.

"Someone need some Bacta Water?" the teen with the cloak asked. "Just came out from the river, so it's still fresh."

"Yeah, right here," Captain Rex answered, pointing to where Kixx was waiting for the Water. "You two must be the new interns."

"Interns?" Zatanna asked. "What do you mean?"

"Oh, we're with the Earth-Expanded Universe Program," the teen with the cloak explained. "We do jobs for the Republic in return for travelling to Earth."

"Happened all after men from Earth were recruited for becoming part of the Republic Military," the other teen went on. "Started by Chancellor Palpatine himself."

"That's… good to hear," Sarah said as she came over. "You two must be very lucky to get a chance to go to Earth like this."

"Indeed," the blonde teen said as he held out his hand to Zatanna. "My name is John, by the way," he introduced himself. "John Cohn."

"Zatanna," Zatanna introduced herself as she shook John's hand. "Nice to meet you."

"As am I with you," John said as his friend stepped up. "This is Chas. Chas Kramer."

"Nice to meet you, Chas," Zatanna said as she shook Chas's hand. "How long have you been friends with John?"

"A couple of years," Chas replied. "We've done a lot of studies at several academies. It's how we met when we graduated."

"Well, as nice as this is, we'd better get the supplies to Kixx," Rex said as Ahsoka and Miss Martian walked over. "I'll go bring the Bacta Water to him." He said as he got one of the carrier lifts with the tank of Bacta Water in it.

"I'll help too," James said as he went and activated another lift. "You'll need all the help you can get, and we want to show our worth to you."

Zatanna nodded as Rex and James took the tanks of Bacta Water to Kixx. John and Chas sent a small salute to them as Ahsoka and Miss Martian made their way towards the group.

"Hey there, Zee," Ahsoka said, getting Zatanna, John and Chas to turn to her and Miss Martian. "I see things are going well ever since we left for Earth."

"Yeah," Zatanna said. She smiled to John before gesturing her hand to him and Chas. "These are interns from Sendai Six. John Cohn and Chas Kramer," she introduced. "They're going to Earth after we depart from here."

"Nice to meet you," Ahsoka said as she shook John and Chas's hands. "You must be lucky to be able to get to go to Earth."

"We are indeed," John said. "When the Vortex opened over Ryloth, I was introduced to magic. That's something I've been studying, magic from here and from Earth."

"He's been self-teaching himself in the ways of all kinds of magic," Chas explained. "He knows all of it, even unreal magic."

"We'll have to see your magic knowledge when we have the time," Ahsoka said before looking to Zatanna. "We'd better check in with the rest of the Young Justice to know where the next Fortress Droid Factory is so we can put an end to the Droids."

"Dick's with Colonel Gascon on the Terminal Room," Zatanna explained. "I'll gather the others so we can discuss our next move."

"Good," Miss Martian said. "Everyone's here, right?"

"Serra and Saw went back to the Temple to help Master Drallig increase security," Zatanna explained. "So, if we're going to be moving out, we'll be two members short."

"It's okay," Ahsoka said. "We'll leave them to do what they need to do. I'm sure we can manage with the members we have."

"Right," Zatanna said with a nod. "See you at the Terminal Room," she said before turning to John and Chas. "Want to come with?"

"Sure," John said. "We can fill in for Serra and Saw."

"Come on." Zatanna said as she walked off. John and Chas smiled and went after the Mage.

Ahsoka and Miss Martian smiled as well before making their way towards the Terminal Center. As they were walking, Obi-Wan, Katooni and Anakin walked up to them.

"Master Kenobi," Miss Martian said, getting her and Ahsoka to bow respectfully to the Negotiator. "Good to see you again."

"You too, Megan, Ahsoka," Obi-Wan said with respect. "I take it your mission on Earth with the Neo Young Justice was a success?"

"It was," Ahsoka replied. "Turns out Maul and Lady Shiva are gathering the strongest enemies of the Young Justice mentors for his own group of Psycho Rangers. We gave the list of candidates to Batgirl, but we need to be careful about what you he DarkSiders will do next."

"Agreed," Anakin said. "Maul might not be active right now, but when he shows himself, we'll have to be ready."

"Yes," Ahsoka agreed. "Anyways, we need to meet up with Robin and Colonel Gascon. We've been told that they're almost on the verge of locating where the last Factory of Fortress Droids and Saber Striker Droids is."

"Let's go." Katooni said.

Ahsoka and Miss Martian both smiled before leading the three Jedi to the Terminal Center.

At the same time, Zatanna, John and Chas were making their way towards a Training Room on the Equinox. Inside, there were several smaller rooms where each member of the Young Justice was training. Artemis and Lux were doing target practice against targets, Kid Flash was being timed in a series of laps by Paula, Superboy was sparring with Rocket, Jaybo was testing out some new gadgets, and Aqualad and Barriss were engaged in close quarter combat, his Water-Bearers against her lightsaber.

"Nice little training area you have here," Chas said. "The Young Justice seems to be in top shape."

"They sure do," Zatanna said. "We like to train here where we're out of the way of everyone else when the Ship gets too crowded. Training helps to sweat it out, clear our heads, that kind of stuff," she explained before pressing a button on the monitor. "Hey, guys!" She called out over the PA System, getting everyone to look up to her. "If you're done here, were needed in the Terminal Center," she said. "Robin says he might have found out where the last Droid Factory is."

"Got it!" Artemis called out.

"Just give us time to dry ourselves off!" Rocket added on.

"We will be with you soon." Aqualad said.

"Over and out." Zatanna replied, taking her finger off of the speaker button.

Doors opened up near the back wall of each training room, allowing the Young Justice to enter and hit the showers.

"Best meet with Ahsoka," John said. "The others will meet up with us in the Control Room, after all."

"Even Wally needs to take it slow to shower," Zatanna remarked. "Alright, we'll meet them there." She said before the three walked off.

In the Control Room, Robin was working with Colonel Meebur Gascon in finding out where the last Factory for Fortress and Saber Striker Droids was located. As they were working, Anakin, Ahsoka, Obi-Wan, Miss Martian and Katooni walked in.

"This Map is incomplete," Colonel Gascon said Ashe looked to the partially-downloaded map Robin got from Chalacta. "It's almost a miracle that only two Factories were discovered with this limited information."

"Yeah," Robin said with a nod. "But I have a theory on how to find our missing Planet and Droid Factory."

"Hey there, Dick," Ahsoka said, getting Robin and Meebur Gascon to turn to her. "How's finding the last Factory coming along?"

"Hey there, Ahsoka," Dick said. "I was just about to get to that. There's a theory that I have that could get us the location of that very Droid Factory."

"Good," Ahsoka said. "By the way, Barbara and Jason say 'Hi'."

"Thanks," Robin said before pulling up the holographic map that he and Jaybo got from the Factory on Chalacta. "You see, I've been tracking down the path of Separatist Ships going to Chalacta and NaJedha," he explained, showing red dotted lines crossing from Chalacta and Jedha. "Here are the supply paths that go to Chalacta, and here are the supply lines of ships that go to NaJedha," he said as he pointed to the respective lines. "Both equal in length, no path being longer than the other, but they both cross at one point," he went on, pointing his finger towards a dot, causing the map to zoom in and show a Planet. "Muunilist."

"Muunilist?" Jaybo asked as he, Zatanna, John, Chas and the Young Justice came into the room. "That's the home of the Banking Clan."

"Don't they back the Republic and Separatists alike?" Miss Martian asked.

"Yes, they did, and they still do," Anakin spoke up. He suddenly started to clench his fist. "But one of the members of the Banking Clan turned on the Republic… and nearly killed Padmé to make sure we didn't get this information."

"You told me about him," Ahsoka said. "Rush Clovis."

"Enough," Obi-Wan interrupted. "Rush Clovis is gone. We must focus on the present."

Anakin calmed himself down. "Right. Sorry," he said, though his underlying demeanor did not quite agree with his attitude. "So, Robin…" he said as he turned to the Boy Wonder. "What can you tell us about the current defenses the Banking Clan have put up?" He asked. "I was busy in the sky at that time, so things must have changed."

"I'm hacking into the surveillance systems on Muunilist now," Robin said, typing into his Hologlove. "Looks like everything has been rebuilt," he said, showing the surface view of Muunilist to everyone. "Buildings are more structured and reinforced, using Republic Cannons, and—"

"Wait," Connor said, pointing to something moving across one of the surveillance screens. "What was that?"

"What?" Anakin asked as he looked to another one of the screens. Like the one Connor saw, something dashed past it before it went static.

"They know I'm hacked in?" Robin asked.

"If they have, why aren't they trying to enforce their countermeasures?" Colonel Gascon asked.

"Nothing can possibly move that fast!" Lux exclaimed. "It must be Tol Skorr."

"I can't reformat the last shot," Robin said. "But I can spot some metal in the blur."

"N-K Necrosis?" Paula guessed.

"Unsure." Wally said.

"Whoever this guy is, he's already destroyed nine of our cameras!" Artemis exclaimed.

"I'll gather the data we have from the remaining cameras," Robin said. "Whoever's taking out the cameras can't stop the data transfer!"

Obi-Wan looked on as more cameras were taken out. "I sense something familiar about this attacker." He said.

As Robin downloaded the data, more of the cameras started to go offline. He was almost done until a deep, echoing laughter came from one of the cameras. Everyone jumped in surprise before the laughter faded away. As it did, the download completed, and the last camera went static like all the others.

"What the Hell was that?" John asked in utter shock.

"I… I'm not sure," Robin said, also in shock like everyone else. "Anyway, I managed to get the rest of the data," he reported. "Looks like the defenses on Muunilist are heavy. They seem to have long-range cannons that can take out any orbital craft."

"Well, we could use the Stealth Ship," Katooni suggested. "We can use it to easily sneak past any enemy ships in the way, reducing our threat."

"Doesn't seem likely," Jaybo said as he used his own Hologlove to check out the data. "Looks like the Separatist Database has a record of every Ship used against them," he explained. "And it seems like Admiral Trench added in an entry of the Stealth Ship from his time fighting it on Christophsis."

"We need some way to get in." Chas said.

"Well, unless we can teleport there, we're going to have to cloak the Bioship to get in," Ahsoka said. "They would take down the Equinox without a second thought."

"Agreed," Anakin said in agreement. "But the Separatists are getting smarter. We can't go in with the whole Young Justice."

Drol nodded. "I can stay behind," he said. "I'll be able to monitor anything, try to bring back the cameras."

"We're also going to have to let James, Sarah and Henri know that since this Planet is completely inhabited by the Separatist Alliance, they won't be able to come along," Barriss added on. "They won't be happy about it, I'm sure, but they'll just have to deal with it."

"I'll be sure to let them know," Colonel Gascon said. "But with Serra and Saw on Coruscant, someone will need to fill in for them."

"And the rest of the new Young Justice recruits are training with Black Canary over Dantooine," Anakin pointed out. "Unless we can train James and Sarah to be members of the Young Justice in less than a day, we'll be short two members."

"Maybe we could help with that," John said as he and Chas stepped up. "We were the top students at the Republic Academies on three different Planets, after all."

"Interesting," Ahsoka said. "How's your Field Experience on a scale of One to Ten?"

"Here's a hint," John said, extending his hand. At that moment, a fiery magic circle appeared, and he swung his arm around. Soon, magic energy started to appear all over the room. Everyone stood in amazement before he shot fire into the air. Everyone stood in amazement once again before the magic subsided. "Did I not say I studied all kinds of magic?"

Everyone continued to look on in amazement, still baffled by the performance John had just put on.

"He tends to show off a lot," Chas said after a while, finally breaking the silence. "As for me, give me anything I can shoot with. I never miss my target."

Anakin grinned. "I like you two," he said. "You've got… what is it they say on Earth… moxie?" He asked, getting a nod from Robin and a smirk from Paula. "I'd say you're in, but that's not my call to make," he said before turning to his former Padawan. "Ahsoka?"

Ahsoka smiled as she stepped up. "You two are in," she said, getting John and Chas to grin. "Chas, get any firearms you might need from the armory," she ordered Chas Kramer. "John, you'd better have more tricks up your sleeve, because you and Chas are going into enemy lines," she said. "Okay, everyone, suit up!" She called out to everyone. "In five minutes, we're moving out!"

"I will alert your reporter friends about the mission right away," Meebur Gascon said as he leapt onto a Mouse Droid, which moved towards the door, much to his discomfort. Frustrated, the Zilkin Colonel let out a sigh. "Remind me to get another astromech." He mumbled as everyone watched him roll away.

"Don't blame him," Anakin said. "He was a major part of the Battle of Geonosis."

"HE WAS?!" Ahsoka and all of the Earth Young Justice members exclaimed in surprise and disbelief.

"He was a map reader, to be specific," Obi-Wan explained, causing Zatanna to nearly choke while Wally let out a small chuckle. "He was able to guide everyone to victory, which resulted in the first major victory at the start of the Clone Wars."

"Seriously," Anakin said. "Without him, we all would have been stuck on Geonosis."

"So, it's best not to take him for granted," Obi-Wan added on. "Now, we had best get ready. Muunilist is not an easy Planet from my experience. It's very messy."

"I'll make sure Rex brings along his best men," Connor said. "When we're done, there will never be another Fortress or Saber Striker Droid Factory in existence."

"Don't get cocky," Ahsoka said. "We still don't know what took out those Cameras."

"Just get ready," Anakin ordered. "We'll wait for you by the Bioship."

Ahsoka nodded. "Yes, Master," she said before looking to everyone. "Get ready. We leave in five minutes!"

Everyone nodded and went to get ready. Zatanna went to her room to get some stuff while John followed her.

"How many battles have you been in?" John asked.

"Just enough to know that the Clone Wars will take more than a year to win," Zatanna explained as she went into her room, picking up her Gold Energy Ichor Sword. "We've lost a lot of people. Tan Divo, 99, Erica Sustrai, and… most importantly…" she went on as she clenched her fist. "Sonia Sky."

"I remember being told about her," John said. "I was told she was the greatest Jedi to turn from the Dark Side of the Force."

"She's still with us," Ahsoka said as Zatanna and John turned around, seeing Ahsoka leaning against the door. "I can always sense her now that she's one with the Force."

"As long as we never forget her, she'll always be with us," Zatanna agreed, placing her sword on her back. "I'm all set."

"Good," Ahsoka said. "Let's get with the others. The soon we're off, the better."

Meanwhile, Sarah, James and Henri were talking with each other until Colonel Meebur Gascon came up to them on his Mouse Droid.

"There you are," Colonel Gascon said, causing the three to look down to him. "I've been looking for you everywhere!"

"What seems to be the problem, Colonel?" Sarah asked.

"We have determined the location of the last Droid Factory for the Fortresses and Saber Strikers…" Meebur Gascon started out.

"Great!" James exclaimed.

"But this is a Separatist-inhabited Planet," Meebur went on. "Meaning there will be no one to interview," he explained, getting the three to look to him with surprise. "By order of Ahsoka Tano, you are to stay on the Equinox until the Factory is destroyed," he said. He took notice of the disappointed looks on the faces of Sarah, James and Henri. "I'm sorry, but there are some Planets that are too dangerous for you, and where some people are unwilling to talk," he apologized. "But I can assure you, you will get your chance for an interview on our next missions, I promise."

"It is quite alright," Sarah said. "We understand."

"Thanks for telling us, Colonel." James said.

"Any time." Meebur Gascon said before he started to turn his Mouse Droid around to wheel away.

"How did you become a Colonel?" Henri asked, getting Meebur Gascon to stop.

"Well… it started after the Battle of Geonosis," Meebur explained as he turned around. "That was the first ever battle that started the Clone Wars."

"You were part of the first battle of the Clone Wars?!" James exclaimed.

"Well, not in on the action itself," Meebur Gascon explained. "I helped guide all of the Republic forces to victory from the control station, a map-reader, if you will," he started to explain. "It's not that easy as you think, you know."

"How so?" James asked.

"Well, you see…" Meebur Gascon started out before an idea hit him. He grinned and got onto his Mouse Droid again. "You know what? I might have an idea as to how you can still get yourselves a scoop without going to the Planet," he said. "Come on!"

"Okay," Sarah said. "Lead the way, Colonel."

"Follow me!" Colonel Gascon said. He patted his Mouse Droid. "Go!" he called out. However, the Mouse Droid took off so fast that the Zilkin Colonel fell off, leaving him behind. "Why does the Universe hate me?" he asked while trying not to lose his calm demeanor.

"Do you need help?" Sarah asked.

"Well, considering my Mouse Droid left me… sure," Meebur Gascon replied. "Can one of you give me a ride?"

"Sure," Sarah said as she held out her hand. "Hop on."

"Do you go fast?" Meebur asked.

"I do!" Henri exclaimed.

"Well, then, Miss Phillips…" Meebur said. "Please put me on young Mr. Lafayette's shoulder."

"Better hang on tight." James joked as Sarah put Meebur Gascon on Henri.

"Oh… I intend to." Meebur said as he grabbed onto Henri's shirt before they all made their way towards the Command Center.

Meanwhile, at the Bioship, Ahsoka and Obi-Wan were making their way towards Anakin and the rest of the Young Justice. Waiting with them were John and Chas. Chas was armed with DC-17 Hand Blasters while John was sporting a lighter brown robe.

"Are we all set?" Ahsoka asked. She looked around and noticed that Connor was the only one not present. "Is Connor still getting our troops for this mission?" she asked.

"I'm right here!" Connor called out. Everyone turned to see he had arrived with Rex, Fives, and Echo. "The best of the best, as you requested."

"We're ready for duty, Sir." Rex said.

"Good," Ahsoka said as James, Sarah and Henri ran by behind them, with Colonel Meebur Gascon holding onto Henri for dear life. "Now, I hope everyone knows the plan."

"We make our way past the ships orbiting Muunilist," Miss Martian started out. "With that Planet being the last of the ones with a Factory for Fortress and Saber Striker Droids, Dooku and Tol Skorr are sure to have it reinforced."

"Then, Colonel Gascon and Jaybo will guide us through the city, helping us to get through the Droid Army without wearing ourselves out," Robin went on. "As Miss Martian said, this Planet will be heavily fortified since it's the last one with a Droid Factory."

"Good," Ahsoka said. "We all understand. A nice and simple plan. We go in and go out," she said. "Hopefully, if we pull this off successfully, we won't have to engage in a fight."

"But you know that's going to happen anyway, right?" Kid Flash asked.

"Yep, and that's why I'm looking forward to it," Ahsoka said. "Let's go."

"Yes, Sir!" Rex called out as he, Fives and Echo all got onto the Bioship.

"Looks like we're all good to go," Miss Martian said as she looked to Ahsoka. "And hopefully, the new upgrade we got back on Earth will help in this Mission."

"I hope so too," Ahsoka said before pressing a button on her Arm-Mounted Crossbow Gauntlet. "Let's get to work."

"This should be interesting." Obi-Wan said as he took his seat.

"Yeah," Anakin agreed. He turned to his Master. "Who do you think that was before?" he asked. "I sensed that we knew that thing from some time, but I can't place where we could have encountered something like that."

"I have a feeling that we will find out… only in due time," Obi-Wan said. "As Master Yoda told you, the Dark Side shrouds everything. It's impossible to see the Future."

"Everyone set in?" Miss Martian asked.

"We're all good." John said.

"We've got my Starfighter in case we need to split," Ahsoka said. "Let's be off."

"We'll be your eyes, Young Justice," Colonel Gascon told the Young Justice over the Bioship's communication systems. "May the Force be with you."

"Always," Miss Martian said before flying the Bioship out of the Hangar Bay. "Making the jump to Lightspeed in three… two… one… now!" she called out before engaging the Hyperdrive.

Back on the Equinox, Colonel Meebur Gascon and Jaybo Hood showed Sarah, James and Henri a small hologram of the Bioship leaving the Star Cruiser on a table with a large hologram. One part showed them over Sendai Six while the other part showed Muunilist, both a view of it from space and a view of it on the ground.

"As you can see, my 'Map-Reading' Skills have a lot of requirements," Meebur explained to the reporters as the Bioship disappeared. "This indicates a ship leaving the fleet. In this case, the Bioship. Once the ship disappears, it will have made the Jump to Lightspeed, and will reappear on this other map, showing where they are."

"We made sure that our spies on all sides have granted us access to how many Ships are in the Systems the Separatists are in control of," Jaybo went on as James and Sarah wrote everything down. "Basically, put these two together, and we're the eyes of the Republic fleet."

"And you told us that the Separatists are using Republic technology to fortify the defenses of Muunilist?" Sarah asked.

"Yes, that is right," Meebur acknowledged. "They have long-range weapons that can knock even our Star Cruisers out of the sky. They combined our cannons from the Battle of Muunilist with their own technology to create such a weapon."

"Too bad," Henri said as he looked to a hologram of the advanced cannon. "If the Republic and the Separatists actually worked together, nothing could stop them!"

"I wish that could happen," Jaybo said, unaware that a small ray of light appeared behind him before it disappeared. "But since the ORDER has become neutral in the War following the death of Sonia, and since the DarkSiders' activity has been quiet after Onderon, we don't have a common enemy, not without knowing where Maul and his forces are operating."

"Wait," Meebur said as he switched the map of Sendai Six to Muunilist. "They're about to come out of Hyperspace."

In Hyperspace, Ahsoka was checking on her lightsabers. She finished checking her current lightsaber before walking over to Zatanna, who was reading a Harry Potter Book.

"Seven?" Ahsoka asked.

"Four," Zatanna corrected as John came over. "I finished the series. I'm just rereading the books before I see the movies."

"You haven't lived!" Ahsoka teased.

John chuckled as Ahsoka left. "I can see you two have a lot in common," he said to Zatanna, causing the mage to look up. "Were you two in…?" he started out.

"Ew, no!" Zatanna replied while letting out a chuckle. "I'm not like that," she said as she looked to Robin. "He's the guy I'm in love with."

"Robin's a lucky guy," John said before looking to the book Zatanna was reading. "What was this boy like back on your Earth?" he asked. "How did he get that scar?"

Zatanna chuckled again. "Harry's not real," she said. "He's just a character that a famous author made up," she explained before taking out a book and handing it to John. "Here, read the first book," she offered. "Should give you a clear idea."

"I'll do that," John said as he sat down and opened up the book. "Thank you."

"Gonna have to save the reading for later, guys," Miss Martian said as everyone looked up. "We're coming out of Hyperspace!"

"The Separatists will throw everything they have at us," Ahsoka said. She turned to Miss Martian and nodded. "Cloak the Bioship," she ordered. "Let's try to avoid a conflict."

"Roger that," Miss Martian said as her eyes lit up. "Cloaking the Bioship now." She said before the Bioship went invisible.

Soon, the Martian Bioship came out of Hyperspace. Everyone looked around as several Separatists Ships flew around Muunilist. Some of them were orbiting the Planet while others remained stationary, letting out Vulture Droids or Droid Tri-Fighters to counter any aircraft that tried to enter the system.

"That's a lot of Ships." Echo said.

"Let's be careful… but let's get it done," Anakin said as he looked to all of the Ships. "M'gann, fly us through… carefully."

"Roger that." Miss Martian said as she flew through the Ships as carefully as she could.

On the Equinox, Colonel Gascon and Jaybo, with Sarah, James and Henri watched as Miss Martian flew the Bioship through the Separatist Fleet.

"This looks like it's going to be close," James said as Henri ate some bread. "Are these really all the Ships that the Separatists have with them over Muunilist?" he asked.

"Yes," Meebur Gascon replied. He suddenly noticed one of the Vulture Droid beeping and pressed a button on the console. "Martian Bioship, be wary of the Vulture Droid on your starboard," he said. "We're picking up something strange coming out of it."

"Like what?" Rocket asked. She looked to the incoming Vulture Droid and narrowed her eyes at it. "Just looks like it's broken," she reported. "Smoke coming out from the other end, by the looks of it."

"Smoke?" Ahsoka asked. "That doesn't sound like a Vulture Droid to me."

"My scans are picking up that it's functional," Robin said as he scanned the Vulture Droid with his hologlove. "Maybe there's something wrong with it."

Anakin placed his hand to his chin. "Smoke coming out from a functioning Vulture?" he asked himself. His eyes suddenly widened after realizing something. "Miss Martian, veer from course!" he called out. "It's trying to trace for cloaked ships!"

"What?!" Miss Martian asked before the smoke hit the Bioship, eventually turning to an ink-like substance that revealed the presence of the Bioship to the Separatist Forces.

"They're here!" a Neimoidian from a Separatist Command Ship called out. "All fighters, take out the Bioship!"

"This is where the fun begins." Chas said as he readied his gun.

"M'gann?" Ahsoka asked. "How are our cannons looking?"

"Locked and loaded!" Miss Martian replied. "Let's get to work."

The Martian Bioship flew forward, shooting down several Droid Fighters as they fired at the Young Justice. More Droid Fighters approached the Bioship, but M'gann let out more blasts from the cannons and shot them down.

"Send out the Tridents." A Tactical Droid ordered.

Miss Martian continued to shoot down Droid Fighters until something suddenly hit the Bioship.

"What was that?" Connor asked.

Anakin looked out the window. "Trident Fighter, incoming!" he called out.

Everyone looked forward as a Trident Fighter flew towards them. It shot more missiles out from its tentacles at the Young Justice before spinning them around like blades.

"I've got this," Ahsoka said as she used the Force to access a new control panel. "You ready, M'gann?"

"Preparing Saber now." Miss Martian replied with a nod before accessing a new weapon to the Bioship.

Everyone watched as a blade retracted from the side of the Bioship. It lashed out at incoming Droid Tri-Fighters like a chain before forming into a solid blade.

"This looks interesting." Robin said with a grin on his face.

Miss Martian narrowed her eyes at the incoming Trident Fighter as it flew towards her. The two passed, both striking their blades at each other. The Bioship continued to fly while the Trident Fighter exploded behind them, taking two Vulture Droids and three Droid Tri-Fighters with it.

"Great work!" Artemis called out.

"Thanks," Ahsoka replied. "Barbara and Katie helped us make it while we were on Earth."

"Retracting blade," Miss Martian said as she pulled the saber back into the Bioship. "Now, let's get down to the surface."

The Bioship flew past the Separatist Blockade over Muunilist, tearing through Fighters.

On the surface, N-K Necrosis watched everything happen on a holo-transmitter.

"We are sorry, Sir," a Neimoidian reported. "The Bioship is just too powerful for our Fighters."

"Not to worry," N-K said. "They won't be in the air for long…" he started out before looking to the shadows. "Not since an old friend of mine is here to help even the odds of this fight. Let them come down," he ordered. "They will be in for quite a surprise."

"As you wish, N-K Necrosis." A Tactical Droid said before he and the Neimoidian signed off.

At this time, the Martian Bioship made its way through the clouds over Muunilist. Everyone looked around not only to the tall buildings in the city in the distance, but also to the war-torn battlefield down below, littered with Clone Trooper Helmets and Droid Parts.

Sarah, James and Henri looked to the war zone from their view back on the Equinox as well. Sarah covered her mouth at the horror while James and Henri looked on in shock.

"This was the aftermath of the first battle here?" Sarah asked.

"This was one of the biggest and violent battles of the Clone Wars," Meebur Gascon said. "We tend not to talk about it that much because… it's not something people want to remember easily."

"Look at this place!" Artemis exclaimed. "The First Battle of Muunilist must have been intense!"

"It was," Obi-Wan said. "We lost a lot of good Clones on the day we attacked the Separatists here."

"Obi-Wan and Master Voolvif Monn led the ground forces against the Droids," Anakin explained. "Chancellor Palpatine recommended me to lead the air strike… which was also how I met Ventress."

"Ventress told me you chased her… relentlessly," Lux said. "At this time, I was still with my Mother and sided with the Separatists," he went on. "Was it the thrill that made you chase her, or was it that she was with the Dark Side at the time?"

"Sort of both," Anakin replied with a shrug, causing Ahsoka, Miss Martian and Rocket to giggle. "Honestly, things tend to get dull when Droid Pilots are in control of a ship."

"So only girls give a challenge?" Ahsoka teased.

"Hey, I never said that!" Anakin protested. "And name one time that was true," he said. "Ventress and Sonia don't count."

"Okay," Ahsoka said with a smug grin on her face. She started to list off with her fingers. "Me, Gemini, Lady Shiva, Alakshmi, Giganta…"

"Me." Barriss chimed in.

"I said 'one time'!" Anakin almost yelled, almost annoyed that Ahsoka and Barriss were having this much fun teasing him.

"Right," Miss Martian said with a chuckle. She turned back to watch where she was going with the Bioship. "That's strange," she said. "No one's stopped us from landing."

"That is strange," John said. "I thought there would be someone here to stop us by now."

"They must be expecting us," Paula said. "The air forces couldn't ignore us tearing through their ships, and must have reported us to whoever is running the operations below."

"N-K Necrosis must be here," Lux said. "He seems to be behind the operations of the Factories on NaJedha and Chalacta. He can't ignore us too."

"In any case, we should land," Obi-Wan said. He turned to Miss Martian. "Megan, land at sector 11-38. It's a safe outing where not even Separatist Weapons can reach us," he ordered. "I should know since it's the same place where me and my Troopers were based during the first battle here."

"Sure thing, Master Kenobi," Miss Martian said as she flew over towards the requested landing zone. "I'll set us down nice and easy."

Ahsoka nodded before turning to the rest of the Young Justice. "Everyone, get ready for battle," she ordered. "We may not have any trouble now, but expect to meet Separatist resistance when we reach the city."

"Stay on your guard at all times," Anakin went on. "None of us know what we'll be walking in to."

"Tread carefully." Ahsoka finished up.

The Young Justice nodded as Miss Martian started to set the Bioship down. Everyone got their weapons ready and looked to each other. Ahsoka sent everyone a nod before Katooni held her hand out, letting the back door of the Bioship open up. As soon as everyone was ready, they headed out of the Bioship, with Artemis, Paula and the 501st Clones scouting ahead.

"All clear!" Fives called out to the Young Justice.

"I'll do an extra check," Wally said as he put on his goggles. "Be back in a flash." He said before racing off.

"He gets that off of his Uncle, doesn't he?" Anakin asked.

"Yeah, pretty much." Ahsoka replied.

After a while, Kid Flash raced back to everyone. "I checked the area," he said. "Doesn't seem to be any traps nearby."

"Something is waiting for us," Obi-Wan said as he stepped out. "Even if there are no traps, we had best be careful."

"Right," Aqualad said. He looked around and readied his Water-Bearers. "Be on high alert at all times."

Rocket nodded. "Let's take to the skies." She said before flying up. Artemis, Superboy, Miss Martian, Zatanna and Barriss followed after her.

Kid Flash walked with the rest of the Young Justice before seeing something on the ground that caught his eye. "What's this?" he asked as he walked over to pick it up. Everyone looked to him as he picked up a large black lance. "Hey…" he said as he turned to Obi-Wan. "Didn't you use these on Felucia?"

"Yes," Obi-Wan said as he picked up another lance. "Back in the First Battle of Muunilist, our Cannons were being taken out by a Gen'Dai General named Durge," he explained. "He was almost invincible, being able to take a direct impalement to the chest by a lightsaber. I was able to defeat him, though, by attacking him from the inside."

"How do you attack someone from the inside?" Ahsoka asked.

"Long story short… you don't want to know," Obi-Wan replied before weighing around the lance. "These Power Lances helped to play an important role in the Battle of Muunilist."

"I can tell," John said as he looked to Chas. "We studied all about them back at the Academy."

"Whenever you say 'Power Lance', I think of blue for some reason," Wally said before placing the Power Lance he found on his back. "Oh well," he said, shrugging it off. "A souvenir for me."

"Guys, I don't mean to interrupt the history lesson, but it looks like we've got trouble," Artemis reported over the comlinks. "I just caught something."

"What is it?" Ahsoka asked.

Artemis closed her visor on her helmet and started to scan the city. "The cannons you talked about?" she asked. "The Separatists are charging them up."

"Looks like they're sending out the Droids," Rex said as he searched the area with the scanners in his own helmet. "And they've got the Saber Strikers with them!"

"What about the Fortress Droid?" Jaybo asked back aboard the Equinox as he, Colonel Gascon, Sarah, James and Henri watched the Droid Army advance towards them. "Robin and I have been working on something that might destroy it and every Droid just like it."

"I don't see it yet," Katooni said before suddenly hearing some metal scraping along the ground. "Scratch that thought," she said as the Fortress Droid appeared. "He's here."

"That is one giant Droid!" Chas exclaimed in surprise.

"Be careful," Ahsoka said as she dialed onto her Arm-Mounted Crossbow Gauntlet. "It can copy any move we make at it. We need to consider our attack before we make it."

"Still a problem," Anakin said before pressing his comlink. "Jaybo, what did you have in mind to destroy this thing?"

"You know that device I gave everyone before you went on the mission?" Jaybo asked.

Everyone looked to a small tube-like device that Jaybo had given them all earlier.

"What about it?" Ahsoka asked.

"Place it into any part of the Fortress Droid, and a virus will be sent through it, as well as any other Fortress Droid in existence," Meebur Gascon went on. "But each de-activator will only have one pulse, so you have to make sure that your hit is effective on its first try."

"And there are eighteen of us, so eighteen tries," Connor mused. "But we still have to get to the Factory and take it down."

"Leave that to me," Anakin said as he looked to Ahsoka. "I'm going to need your Jedi Cycle for that."

"Yes, Master," Ahsoka said as she continued to dial onto her Arm-Mounted Crossbow Gauntlet. "What's your plan?"

"Just follow my lead," Anakin said as Ahsoka's Jedi Cycle detached from her Starfighter and made its way towards the Young Justice ground forces. "Just be sure to follow me."

Ahsoka grinned. "I see where you're going," she said. She placed her hand to her head and accessed the Psychic Link. "Everyone, follow me and Anakin," she ordered everyone telepathically. "Converge on us for the attack, but don't take your eyes off of Fortress, no matter what."

"I'll cover you," John said as he held his hand out at Fortress. "Metalli pecus, Metalli pecus, stabulare incendunt!" he incanted.

Fortress ran at the Young Justice, but he suddenly started to catch on fire. Everyone looked on as the Droid tried to put out the flames, only for Chas to shoot it ten times, sending it back.

"Time to get moving." Obi-Wan said.

"Let's roll." Kid Flash said as he picked up another Power Lance from the ground.

Anakin started the Jedi Cycle and took off. He blasted at the Droid Army in front of him while the rest of the Young Justice followed. Superboy ran towards 4-TR5 and picked it up, pushing it through the Separatist Forces before throwing it towards three Droidekas.

Artemis flew down and sent out a rocket from her jetpack. Raquel trapped some Super Battle Droids in her Energy Bubbles and crushed them while Zatanna flew down and slashed through several Blade Runners and Saber Strikers.

Miss Martian flew over several more Battle Droids in front of Anakin and shot at them with her Martian Heat Vision. As she did, Ahsoka twirled next to Anakin and cut apart more Battle Droids while Obi-Wan and Katooni slashed more down with Ataru.

Aqualad slashed at two Super Battle Droids before clashing with a Blade Runner. He sent an electric surge through a Saber Striker before beheading four more Saber Striker Droids. As he landed, he formed whips from his Water-Bearers, lashing out at seven Standard Battle Droids before forming a hammer and a mace, using them to lift a Super Battle Droid into the air and throwing it into five Droidekas and five Standard Battle Droids, destroying them all at once.

Lux and Paula blasted at two Droidekas, stunning them, before Paula launched a rocket from her jetpack towards a Hailfire Droid. Superboy threw the Fortress Droid across the Droid Army once again while Rex, Fives and Echo shot at seven Super Battle Droids heading their way.

"Cover me!" Superboy called out as he activated his jet boots. "I'm going in!" he called out before flying at Fortress.

Fortress threw aside a Droideka in his way a Superboy flew in to inject him with the virus. Fortress just scanned the Boy of Steel and used heat vision to toss him aside, where the virus landed in the dirt. Connor attempted to reach it, but a Battle Droid accidentally stepped on it, crushing it.

"One of the virus injectors went down!" James called out.

"They only have seventeen more tries!" Henri exclaimed.

Back at the Droid Factory, N-K Necrosis gained the scan 4-TR5 just made. He zoomed in on the virus device and narrowed his eyes at it.

"An end-zone virus!" N-K Necrosis exclaimed. "If the Young Justice manages to insert that into Fortress, all of his kind will be wiped out! Our fighting machines will be no more!"

"Then let me take care of them," the voice in the shadows said. N-K Necrosis turned as a metal clanking filled the air. "I have a score to settle with the Jedi."

"Do what you must," N-K Necrosis said. He picked up his lightsaber and twirled it around. "We shall deal with this ourselves."

Outside, Artemis leapt over several Battle Droids, sending energy arrows down at them. As soon as she got to the other side, the Droids exploded. She let out more plasma arrows and shot down several Super Battle Droid before placing her end-zone virus onto one of her arrows. As a Saber Striker attempted to slash her, she placed her hand up, using a shield to defend herself. She kicked the Saber Striker away and set it on fire with her flamethrower before aiming her arrow at Fortress.

"Take the shot, Artemis!" Obi-Wan called out as he locked blades with a Saber Striker. "Do it!"

"Say good-bye!" Artemis called out before shooting her arrow at Fortress.

Chas shot aside more Droids before shooting at the arrow, helping to energize it as it made its way toward Fortress.

All of a sudden, before the arrow could reach Fortress, something blurred by and knocked it off-course, causing it to crash into the ground.

"What the Hell?" Barriss asked before she was thrown into the air. She regained herself by forming her wings.

John blasted aside two more Droidekas before seeing who was attacking. "Is that…?" he asked in surprise.

Obi-Wan slashed away the Saber Striker and took the head of a Blade Runner before seeing who the mystery attacker finally was. "It can't be…!" he exclaimed.

In front of everyone was an armored Gen'Dai Soldier. He cocked his head as his eyes glowed before turning to Obi-Wan Kenobi.

"Surprised?" the Gen'Dai asked. "I'm getting tired of ambushing you, Kenobi."

"Durge." Obi-Wan said sternly.

"Impossible!" Meebur Gascon exclaimed back aboard the Equinox.

"The last time I saw you, I blew you to pieces!" Obi-Wan called out as he aimed his lightsaber at Durge. "How are you still alive?!"

"The curse of my immunity, I'm afraid," Durge replied as everyone looked to him. "With experimentation from the Separatists, I have the ability to self-heal over time. Cut me down, blow my intestines apart, I will always come back… and I am back for revenge."

"You never said he was invincible!" Anakin exclaimed as he aimed his weapons at Durge.

"I never knew…" Obi-Wan replied. He used the Force to pick up a Super Battle Droid and use its lasers to fire down on Durge.

Durge did nothing as the laser hit him. He sighed and fired at the Super Battle Droid, letting it explode and knock Obi-Wan back.

"Back to the toys it is." Durge said before sending fire at Obi-Wan with his flamethrowers.

Obi-Wan gasped and held out his hand, parting the flames. As he put his hand down, Durge ran over and punched him into a Hailfire Droid. Obi-Wan grunted and got back up as Durge punched at him again, only for him to stab him in the chest.

"You're not escaping this time, Durge!" Obi-Wan called out.

"You forgot…" Durge said before letting out a laugh and punching Obi-Wan away. "Your lightsaber does nothing to me," he said before pulling it out. "But I will have fun in killing you with your own weapon."

"Master Kenobi, here!" Katooni called out as she tossed Obi-Wan his second lightsaber.

Obi-Wan stretched his hand out and caught the lightsaber as Durge brought his blade down. Obi-Wan held the lightsaber up in Ataru before slashing back at Durge and disarming him. He caught his current lightsaber and twirled both of his swords around.

"Anakin, get to the Factory!" Obi-Wan called out. "I'll take care of Durge!"

"Not alone, you're not!" Fives called out as he and Echo aimed their blasters at Durge.

"Don't forget about me!" Artemis called out as she shot twelve plasma arrows towards Durge.

Durge turned around and activated his shield, defending himself from the arrows before Fives and Echo shot at him.

"Go!" Obi-Wan called out as he slashed at Durge with both of his lightsabers.

"Right!" Anakin called out before starting the Jedi Cycle again. "Young Justice, follow me!" he called out.

Ahsoka shot a few energy arrows at Durge before following Anakin. "Come on!" she called out to the rest of the Young Justice. "We're almost there!"

"Oh no you're not, Jedi!" N-K Necrosis called out before several blasts stopped the Young Justice.

"Ahsoka!" Anakin called out as he stopped the Jedi Cycle.

"Keep going!" Ahsoka called out. "We've got this!"

Anakin nodded and continued to race towards the factory.

"Hello, Nick," Ahsoka said. "Back for another round?"

"And I didn't come alone!" N-K Necrosis called out before several armored Saber Striker Droids came and ran towards the Young Justice.

"I have a bad feeling about this." Katooni said before she noticed Fortress towering over her.

"One for each of us!" N-K Necrosis called out. "A fair fight!"

Ahsoka took out her second lightsaber and twirled it around, getting into a Soresu Ready position as N-K Necrosis did the same.

"What do we do, Ahsoka?" Barriss asked as she aimed her lightsaber down at a Saber Striker.

"We fight." Ahsoka replied.

Without a second thought, everyone ran at the Saber Strikers while Katooni took on the Fortress Droid.

N-K Necrosis ran and twirled his lightsaber at Ahsoka, but she held up her green blade before striking at N-K with her blue blade. N-K Necrosis activated the other end of his Double-Bladed Lightsaber and blocked Ahsoka's attack before slashing at her again. He spun his lightsabers around and forced Ahsoka back before splitting his Double-Bladed Lightsaber apart and bringing his blades down on her. Ahsoka used Shien to block the two red blades before ducking as he performed an overhead slash at her.

Robin tossed explosive birdarangs towards the Saber Strikers, all slashing them apart while Zatanna clashed with another. She managed to take one of their swords before slashing at them with it. However, the reinforced armor they were wearing helped to protect them before they started to blast Zatanna away.

"Look out for the armor!" Zatanna called out as she backflipped away. She kicked her assailant before slashing it away. "See ya!" she called out as she backflipped away again.

Robin stabbed a Blade Runner's sword into his Saber Striker before backflipping away as well.

"Right behind you, Zatanna!" Robin called out as he backflipped with Zatanna in tandem.

Rocket flew down and locked blades with one of the Saber Striker Droids. The Saber Striker she was facing kicked hr away, but she managed to regain herself.

"You wanna fight dirty?" Rocket asked before charging up her gloves. "Fine. Have it your way!" she called out before trapping the Saber Striker inside of her Energy Bubble and lifting it into the air. "Get out of that if you can."

The Saber Striker Droid looked around, trying to find a way out. It took out its sword and started to slash at the Energy Bubble, but had little to no success. Rocket grinned victoriously, thinking she had won, but all of a sudden, the Saber Striker spread its arms out. Raquel looked on before lightning blasted out of the eyes of the Saber Striker Droid, creating an electrical surge. Rocket attempted to hold the Energy Bubble for as long as she could, but the power overloaded her, and the Bubble exploded. As it did, Raquel fell out of the sky and onto the ground.

"Sorry to say this about your daughter, Jefferson, but I hate lightning!" Rocket exclaimed as she reached for her sword.

The Saber Striker started to advance on Rocket. It lifted up its blades to try and impale her through the back, but she turned around and stabbed it in the chest. She sent energy through her blade, causing a surge to go through the Saber Striker before it stumbled backwards.

"Klaatu Barada Nikto!" John incanted at two Saber Strikers. Their bodies were lifted into the air and torn apart before John sliced his hand in the air, causing them to be cut to pieces.

Chas rolled across the ground, avoiding several Battle Droid as they tried to strike at him. He shot aside two Blade Runner Droids before grabbing one of the blasters from a standard Battle Droid. He looked up as three Saber Striker Droids attempted to slash down at him. He grinned and backflipped away, shooting at them while he was still in midair. As soon as he landed, he aimed his blaster behind him and shot down a Droideka, with its shield still up.

Katooni backflipped away from the Fortress Droid as it lashed out at her. She got back up, reactivating her lightsaber and using it to parry off the attacks 4-TR5 sent at her. She leapt into the air and spun around, kicking the Fortress Droid back before sending it back even further with the Force.

Meanwhile, Ahsoka was still fighting against N-K Necrosis. She twirled around as N-K struck at her with his twin red blades. She continued to spin around as he lashed out at her before landing and sending a punch to his face. As he struggled to regain himself, Ahsoka sent a Ray of Light towards him, throwing him backwards.

"Master, this is Ahsoka!" Ahsoka called out through her comlink as she slashed apart a Battle Droid. "How are you on the Factory?"

"Getting there, Snips!" Anakin called out as he fired through Separatist Tanks. "I'll get you out of your situation soon, I promise! Just hang on!" he called out before driving right through a tank. As soon as he went through it, it exploded behind him. He made a b-line towards the Factory and pressed a button on the controls. "Let's light it up." He said before summoning the Jedi Starfighter portion of the Jedi Cycle.

The Jedi Fighter flew over the Cycle, shooting down the walls. All of the personnel inside looked on with surprise before firing at Anakin. Anakin just took out his lightsaber and deflected the blasts before riding in with the Starfighter attaching. He flew throughout the Factory and opened fire on every part of the Factory, taking down generators and machines alike. He rammed through the Battle Droids on the ground before flying out, letting the whole Factory explode behind him.

Barriss flew down towards her Saber Striker, impaling it by spinning her blade around before letting it drop to the ground. She looked up as the Factory exploded, with debris from it falling onto several of the Battle Droids.

"Master Skywalker did it!" Barriss exclaimed as she flew down. "The Factory's down!"

"But the Droids are still functioning!" Artemis exclaimed as she shot down a Super Battle Droid before forming her broadswords and slashing at Durge before Rex and Fives blasted him towards Obi-Wan.

"Did you really think it would be that easy?" N-K Necrosis asked Ahsoka as he backed her towards some fire that was made from the explosion of the Factory. "Even with the loss of our Factory, there will be no end to our Droids!"

"I'd beg to differ," Ahsoka quipped before using the Force to gather some fire behind her and throw it at N-K Necrosis, temporarily knocking him back. She turned to her friends, still fighting the Droid Army. "Seriously, that's all I had!" she called out. "Anyone have a plan?"

"Working on it!" Robin called out as he tossed a Birdarang towards one of the Super Battle Droids. He turned around and shot two more at a Droideka before throwing an explosive Birdarang behind him, destroying a Blade Runner. He was about to go and help Obi-Wan, Artemis, Fives, Rex and Echo against Durge before a Commando Droid ran up and attacked him. Robin gasped and took out his end-zone virus, jabbing it into the chest of the Commando Droid. The Boy Wonder waited for himself to be knocked away, but the sound never came.

"Huh?" Robin asked as he looked up.

The Commando Droid stopped right in front of him. Its eyes flickered before turning off. The rest of the Commando Droids in the area did so as well.

"What?" Zatanna asked as she backed away from a Saber Striker and a Commando Droid, noticing the Commando deactivate. "What just happened?"

"Several Commando Droids across the Outer Rim have just deactivated," Meebur Gascon reported back on the Equinox. "The end-zone virus must have shut them all down!"

"Well, that was a waste," Robin said as he brushed some dust off of his shoulder. "We were supposed to use that on Fortress, not on the other Droids."

"Robin, wait!" James called out. "Maybe you can still use it."

"What do you mean?" Lux asked as he slashed away a Super Battle Droid.

"The Droids there are making it difficult for you to take down Fortress, right?" James asked.

"Where are you getting at with this?" Paula asked as she shot down two Droidekas.

"If you can deactivate the rest of the Droids, even for just a moment, you can have Fortress to yourselves," James explained. "There are three types of Droids left in the area: Standard, Super, Destroyer, Blade Runner and Saber Striker. Shut them down, and use whatever end-zone viruses you have left to take out Fortress."

"Good thinking, James!" Henri exclaimed.

"You know what they say," James said as Sarah smiled at him. "'No sacrifice, no victory'."

"But only one end-zone virus will render the Droids useless for about an hour," Jaybo said. "If you use the remaining end-zone viruses carefully, you can take down Fortress for good, and the pulse will be strong enough to destroy all other factories where they're being made."

"Let's do it!" Ahsoka called out with confidence. She turned back to N-K Necrosis as he tried to slam his blades down onto her. "Not this time!" she remarked, twirling out of the way and striking back at him with Soresu and Niman.

Echo shot a taser cord at Durge, electrocuting him. Obi-Wan, Rex, Fives and Artemis all stood ready to fight as they watched Durge seem to yell in pain. However, he started to laugh before forming an energy shield and cutting the taser cord in half.

"That's not possible." Obi-Wan said.

"You actually thought the same trick from three years ago would work again today?" Durge asked. "I have learned from my past mistakes, Kenobi. It doesn't seem you have, though," he said mockingly. "Disappointing, really. I thought you would have come farther as a Jedi."

"Says the guy who still uses a flamethrower," Artemis spat before aiming her hand at Durge. "So have a taste of mine!" She quipped before shooting at him with her own flamethrower.

Durge turned to Artemis and growled, countering her flamethrower with his built-in flamethrower.

The inferno from both flamethrowers collided with each other in midair. Both Artemis and Durge started to walk towards each other, increasing the temperature. Artemis started to sweat as the heat grew more intense, getting her to open up the visor of her helmet. She continued to advance towards Durge, reaching for her dagger concealed in her boot.

Durge advanced at Artemis with no such problems. He continued to push on, not taking notice of Obi-Wan slowly stalking him from behind. Once Durge and Artemis were close enough, their flames subsided, and Artemis leapt through, impaling Durge in the shoulder. Durge growled in anger before Obi-Wan struck at him from behind, managing to disable the energy shield on his left arm.

"I'd say I learned plenty!" Obi-Wan spat as he twirled around his lightsabers.

"Very well-played, I'll admit that much," Durge said before he let out his left arm cannon, replacing the destroyed shield. "But the time for games is over now. Revenge… is mine."

"We'll see about that!" Artemis called out as she formed the broadswords from her longbow.

"At least this will be a challenge." Durge mused as he looked all around him, seeing Rex, Fives and Echo surrounding him with Obi-Wan and Artemis. He chuckled before blasting all around him, causing everyone to scatter out of the way.

Meanwhile, Anakin was returning from the destroyed Battle Droid Factory. He took out his lightsaber and twirled into the air, slashing down at several standard Battle Droids before joining Katooni in taking on 4-TR5.

"So, what did I miss?" Anakin asked as he and Katooni readied and aimed their lightsabers at Fortress.

"If we can deactivate the rest of the Battle Droids with the end-zone virus, we can even the playing field with Fortress," Katooni explained. "So far, I've got him on the edge, but we still need to even things up."

"Well, we can only hope," Anakin said as Fortress charged up for a blast. "Let's do this."

Fortress let out a blast at Anakin and Katooni. However, the two Jedi held their lightsabers out and held the blast. Together, they Force-Pushed Fortress back, but the 4-TR5 Droid managed to withstand the attack. It growled and unsheathed its blades before charging towards the two.

At the same time, Ahsoka was continuing to fight against N-K Necrosis. N-K swung his ruby lightsabers at her wildly, forcing Ahsoka to use Shii-Cho to block his attacks. She eventually managed to lock blades with him, stopping his onslaught attack.

"Impressive, Jedi," N-K Necrosis complimented Ahsoka as she adjusted her lightsabers. "Looks like he was right to be careful of you."

Ahsoka's eyes widened. "'He'?" she asked. "Who are you talking about? Dooku? Sidious? Grievous? Skorr?"

"You'd be surprised!" N-K Necrosis exclaimed before spinning around his Double-Bladed Lightsaber and charging at Ahsoka again.

Ahsoka blocked N-K Necrosis's lower blade with one lightsaber before using her main blade to block his upper blade. He broke off with her and rammed his hilt at her head, temporarily knocking her off-guard. He attempted to stab her in the chest, but she spun around just in time, punching him away.

Where have I seen that move before? Ahsoka thought to herself. Why do I feel there' something familiar about this guy?

At the same time, Miss Martian flew down and used her crossguard lightsaber to slash at several Saber Strikers and Blade Runner Droids. She landed after taking down two of the Blade Runners before clashing her lightsaber with three Saber Strikers. She managed to break off with them before using Soresu and placing her crossguard lightsaber behind her back, blocking the strikes of another Saber Striker and a Blade Runner Droid. She ducked as they broke off and slashed at her again, getting them to destroy two Blade Runners in front of her. She phased through the ground and reappeared from behind the Saber Striker and Blade Runner, slashing their heads right off.

At the same time, Barriss was taking down several flying Super Battle Droids. She slashed three of them right out of the skies before one of the Separatist Cannons fired at her, almost knocking her out of the air.

"M'gann! We need to take out the cannons!" Barriss called out. "If we don't take them out before the Republic fleet gets here, these Cannons will destroy them!"

"They have more guns than we do!" Superboy called out as he rammed a Super Battle Droid into a Droideka. "Any plans to take them out?"

"Yeah," Miss Martian said as she took out her end-zone virus. "But it will cost us an end-zone, and I can't get through without all the Droids in the way!"

"I can help with that," John said as he picked up one of the Saber Strikers' swords. "Just get through! I'll cover you!"

Miss Martian nodded as she flew towards one of the cannons. As she did, John ran at the Droids standing in their way.

"Oh, you want some, do ya?" John asked. He swung his sword down and ran at the Droid, slashing at each of them before clashing with a Saber Striker. He ducked from an overhead slash before striking back at the Droid. The Saber Striker sent a jab at John, but he slashed the sword away before the Saber Striker kicked him to the ground. He rolled away as the Saber Striker attempted to slash at him while he was still down, kicking the Saber Striker into some Standard Battle Droids. He turned to Miss Martian, who was still flying towards the cannons. "You know, any time today would be good," he teased before clashing with two more Saber Strikers. As he backed away, he held his hand out. "Suberete Leviosar, viri metallum, belli machinis," he started to incant before ducking from one of the attacks. "Curvavi genua mea et quicumque non curvaverit," he went on as more Droids advanced towards him. "Tuum fatum in aere, signatus est enim!" he called out, levitating every single Battle Droid guarding the cannons into the air. "Chas, now!" he called out.

Chas ran over and shot at every defenseless Battle Droid, destroying them all.

Miss Martian turned around and smiled. "Thanks, John!" she called out before flying at the cannons. "Now for you!" she called out, inserting her end-zone virus into one of the cannons.

Immediately, all of the cannons started to spark. Everyone looked to them as they short-circuited before they all exploded from the effect of the virus.

At the same time, Barriss flew towards the Super Battle Droids, placing the Virus in them as well. Rocket did the same with a Standard Battle Droid before Paula placed the virus in some Blade Runners. Kid Flash raced by and placed a virus into a Droideka before Aqualad slashed down a Blade Runner with his Water-Bearer, inserting his end-zone virus into it at the same time.

"What?!" Durge exclaimed as he looked to the explosions. "No!"

"Your time is up, Durge!" Obi-Wan called out. "Everyone, get him!"

Durge looked around him as Rex, Fives and Echo all shot at him. He let out a growl and started to shoot at Obi-Wan, who deflected all of his shots before Superboy ran over and leapt on his head, punching at him repeatedly. Durge spun around, throwing Connor off of him before Artemis shot at him with her Bowcaster.

Meanwhile, Ahsoka was still engaged in battle with N-K Necrosis, this time being able to push him back. She struck at him repeatedly with Soresu and Shien using both of her lightsabers. N-K Necrosis snarled at Ahsoka and slashed back at her, twirling around his Double-Bladed Lightsaber like a wild animal.

"You won't get away with this!" N-K Necrosis called out as he slammed both of his blades against Ahsoka's lightsabers.

"You wanna bet?" Ahsoka asked. She broke off with N-K Necrosis and formed a SokaTan Trinity Symbol in front of him. N-K ran and tossed his lightsaber at the Togruta Jedi Knight, but she leapt out of the way, landing behind the second Kaleesh Cyborg and forming another SokaTan Trinity Symbol. Ahsoka grinned before leaping towards the side, tossing both of her lightsabers towards where she made her SokaTan Symbols.

"What are you up to?" N-K Necrosis asked.

Ahsoka grinned as she held both of her hands out. She sent N-K a salute before slamming her fists together. Both of the SokaTan Symbols flew at him, sandwiching him in and creating an explosion.

Ahsoka used the Force to regain her lightsabers as she looked to the explosion. She saw N-K Necrosis emerge from the flames and narrowed her eyes at him.

"Give it up, N-K!" Ahsoka called out as she aimed her lightsabers at the Kaleesh Cyborg. "I'm taking you in."

"You'd better think again!" N-K Necrosis called out.

Ahsoka aimed her Arm-Mounted Crossbow Gauntlet at N-K Necrosis and advanced towards him.

All of a sudden, lasers fired down onto Ahsoka. Ahsoka gasped and formed her shield from her Arm-Mounted Gauntlets. N-K Necrosis chuckled as a dark red version of the Soulless One flew over. He leapt into it and took off.

Ahsoka lowered her arms and watched as N-K Necrosis flew away. She wiped some blood off from her cheek as she let N-K Necrosis flee the battle.

"Who are you?" Ahsoka asked quietly. She shook it off before turning around and making her way to help the rest of the Young Justice take on Durge and Fortress.

Paula ran at Fortress, striking at the Droid with her Bō Staff. Fortress growled and turned to Paula before Anakin and Katooni slashed at him from behind. As Fortress let out its blades to slash at them, Aqualad and Miss Martian both ran in, slashing at it. Lux and Ahsoka ran in afterwards, knocking Fortress off-guard by shooting him back. Once again, Fortress growled as he looked to everyone surrounding him.

"Hey there, Snips," Anakin said as Ahsoka and Lux aimed their lightsabers at Fortress. "How are you? You get that knock-off of Grievous?"

"N-K got away," Ahsoka replied. "There's something about him I need to tell you, but it can wait until after we take this overgrown Clanker."

"No better time than the present," Aqualad said. "Let's take him down."

"Once and for all!" Katooni called out as she aimed her lightsaber at Fortress.

Meanwhile, Rocket flew down and slashed at Durge, giving Kid Flash the chance to race in and give him a supersonic punch to the face. Durge sent fire towards Wally, but Artemis shot an arrow at him before letting Barriss fly in with Zatanna while Robin. The Mirialan Jedi slashed off Durge's shoulder cannon while Robin and Zatanna kicked him away, where John, Chas, Rex, Fives and Echo shot him away.

"Telanoc!" John incanted, sending forth a blast of gold ichor magic.

"Erif nrub nordluac elbbub!" Zatanna incanted as well.

Durge sent his fire back at Zatanna, managing to counter her spell, but was unable to counter against John's gold ichor spell. He roared as he was thrown towards Artemis and Obi-Wan.

At the same time, Aqualad was clashing blades with Fortress. The 4-TR5 Droid slashed Kaldur away before Paula spun around and slammed him to the ground with her Bō Staff.

Fortress tried to get up, but Lux shot at him with his blaster lightsaber hybrid weapon. However, Fortress still continued to get up, though now he was crackling with electricity.

Ahsoka and Anakin ran at Fortress, slicing off his arms before Miss Martian used her Martian vision to melt the ground beneath him and trap him in mud.

"I've got him!" Artemis called out as she shot a cable towards Durge, restraining him. "Obi-Wan, go for the kill!"

Before Obi-Wan could do anything, Durge started to laugh. Everyone looked to him as he looked up, his eyes glowing red.

"You still haven't learned," Durge called out as he got up. "You've shown me your tricks. Let me show you a new one of my own!" He yelled before his chest armor opened up. "Goodbye, Kenobi!" He called out as he leapt on top of Obi-Wan.

"No!" Artemis yelled out as she pushed Obi-Wan out of the way.

Obi-Wan grunted as he was pushed back. He turned to see Artemis yelling as Durge trapped her within his body.

"No!" Obi-Wan called out.

Durge growled as his armor closed. Artemis held her hand out before Durge's insides closed as well, trapping her inside of his body.

"Artemis!" Kid Flash called out.

"You monster!" Rocket called out.

"That does it!" Rex called out as he took out his second blaster. "I'm taking him down!"

"Don't shoot!" Wally called out. "You might kill Artemis!"

"I'll tear you apart!" Obi-Wan called out as he reached his hand out to Durge. Everyone watched as he pulled his hand in, causing Durge to groan.

"Esaeler reh!" Zatanna incanted.

"Esaeler reh!" John incanted as well.

Durge laughed and fired his flamethrower at everyone. "Don't you get it? With your friend in me, I'm invincible!" He yelled, laughing madly. Everyone scattered as the flames almost reached them. "Nothing you do can—"

Before Durge could go on, there was a beeping sound. He looked to his chest to see something red blinking. Another red dot started to blink before several more beeps were heard.

"We've got him!" Katooni called out. "I need the rest of the end-zone viruses!"

Everyone turned to Katooni and tossed their end-zone viruses to her.

"Here!" Obi-Wan called out as he threw his Power Lance towards Katooni.

Katooni deactivated her lightsaber and caught the Lance, letting the end-zone virus devices land on the end of the weapon. She ran at Fortress and thrust the Lance into his chest, causing more electricity to spark through him.

All of a sudden, Durge's armor flew off, followed by his skin. Slime covered every part of the area before Artemis's helmet fell to the ground. Everyone covered their eyes as several detonators dropped. Artemis dropped to the ground as well, her helmet split into three pieces and her eyes closed.

"Artemis!" Ahsoka called out as everyone ran to Artemis's aid.

Katooni panted as she pulled the Power Lance out of Fortress, letting it explode.

Across the Galaxy, several more of the 4-TR5 Fortress Droids were deactivating and self-destructing, taking with them not only other Droids, but the factories themselves.

"This is Katooni calling Drol," Katooni said as she pressed her ear, speaking into her comlink. "Jaybo, Colonel Gascon, how are we looking?"

"You guys did it!" Jaybo called out back on board the Equinox. "All signs of Fortress are disappearing across the Galaxy!"

Ahsoka and Katooni both sighed with relief. They looked to each other and chuckled.

"Good," Ahsoka said. "You'd better get your butts over here. We need medical attention and a crew to retrieve all of the weapons the Separatists used to increase their defenses."

Meebur, Jaybo, James, Sarah and Henri all cheered.

"We're on our way," Meebur Gascon said. "Over and out."

On Muunilist, Artemis fell over on her side. However, Wally and Zatanna managed to catch her before she fell.

"Artemis?" Wally asked as Zatanna held her. "Artemis, can you hear me?"

"Yes, Baywatch, I can," Artemis said as her eyes remained closed. "Some slime got in my eyes, so I can't open them for a while."

"Can you tell who's in front of you?" Zatanna asked.

"You and Wally," Artemis said. "You don't have to shout."

"Sorry," Zatanna said as she got Artemis back onto her feet. "Here you go."

"Artemis, you can see practically anything with your eyes closed," Wally said. "Grab me and kiss me. I know you can do it."

"Okay, if you say so." Artemis said.

Wally held his arms out, but Artemis suddenly grabbed Zatanna.

"Oh, help!" Zatanna said nervously as Artemis placed her hand on her hair. "Hctiws su!" she incanted, switching the positions of herself and Wally, getting Artemis to kiss him instead. Wally and Artemis shared their kiss for a while until the need for air came.

Artemis chuckled as she released herself from Wally. "Did I get the right one?" she asked as she blinked a couple times.

"Sure did." Wally said with a smile on his face.

"Thank heavens." Zatanna joked.

Later, the Republic Fleet arrived. Clones took away the weapons and crew of the Separatist Ships above.

Anakin and Ahsoka walked over to Obi-Wan, who was looking to Durge's mask.

"You think he's really gone this time?" Anakin asked.

"One can never be too sure," Obi-Wan said as the rest of the Young Justice came over. He smiled to Kid Flash and tossed the helmet over. "A souvenir from me." He said before walking away.

"I can't believe we missed this!" Serra exclaimed as she, Saw and Jaybo came over. "Still, must have been nice to be with the YJ again, isn't it?"

"Good to see you too, Serra," Ahsoka grinned. "We'll tell you what you missed out on."

John and Chas smiled before they walked over to Ahsoka.

"We'd best be off," John said. "We need to get to Earth to finish our training."

"Thanks for the experience." Chas said.

"No problem." Zatanna said.

"Chas Kramer, John Constantine, your ride is here!" a Clone Trooper called out.

"'Constantine'?" Ahsoka asked.

"A name I grew up with," John said. "I was told that was my Mother's name before she died. My father was Cohn, so I used that for a while. Guess I wasn't that honest with you."

"It's okay," Zatanna said. "Have fun on Earth."

John and Chas both smiled before they made their way towards the Gunship.

"What now?" Katooni asked. "With the Fortress Droids gone, what's our next move?"

"Well, N-K is still out there," Ahsoka said as she looked to the stars. "And only the Force knows who he's really working for."

On Mustafar, the red Soulless One arrived. Darth Maul walked out of his temple with C-3PX and Gar Saxon to greet N-K Necrosis.

"I see your undercover work has been successful," Maul said as N-K walked toward him. "Do you have the data?"

"Yes," N-K said as he handed Maul a data disk. "Everything is in place."

"Good work…" Maul said. "My trustful spy."

Back on Muunilist, as the Republic Forces pulled out, the remains of Durge started to come together again. As it did, pieces of Battle Droids came together and formed a new helmet. The eyes glowed red as a laughter echoed through the Planet.
