This is the one and only SuperHeroTimeFan returning to you with the final 2017 Chapter for one of my best Stories, Journey of the Knight: Honor Bound! We're finally at twelve Chapters, and it only took about a year to get done! We're making progress. Have any of you seen Star Wars: Episode VIII: The Last Jedi yet? I have, and it was awesome! My mind was completely blown! Did you guys like it too? Let me know. I'm glad to have all of you here to help me get this Story done. My thanks goes out to all of you, especially MinuteMan76, MartyrFan, Jacqueline Karst, Logan GC, FusionBase27A, Ezra Wren, Ultimate Advent Story Dude VII, Eubulon Zenith Extreme, Geo Hikari The 2nd, Cycomatrix Eternal, fire-storm-amagi, The REAL Doom Marine 54, 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, dragonslayerajahn, DJ Meltdown of Ground Xero, Just a Crazy-Man, Sleeping Skeleton, Mr. FNAF Fan-Gamer, LadyStar10, Neos the Final Builder, 1049, ToLegitt2Quit, RebeccaSnow23, Carlos Jacob, Armando Andres Romero Lozano 7, Wolfslick, CT7567Rules, Outplace, TheGreatGodzilla, Darth Sicarius, AbbyDobbie, Maximus Potter, Darth Khan, Virgil1989 The Crossover King, and of course, all of the Guest Reviewers. I literally have no idea where I would be without any of you to support me or help back me up. Thank you all for helping me. Now, before I start, remember that I must answer all of the questions from the reviews. To CT7567Rules, can you please PM me about the OC again? I will try my best to include him. To Carlos Jacob (This one will be a while, no offense, I have not seen the new Cutscenes of the new Star Wars Video Game. I'll take a look at it, though. For Superman, Green Arrow, the Flash and Doctor Fate appearing, as well as the Mentors of the Young Justice, I'll have to think about that one. A mission with Anakin, Barriss and Asajj Ventress working together while working out their issues sounds like a good idea. Having the Light come to the Expanded Universe sounds interesting, so I'll try to have that one as well. Ahsoka and the Young Justice will encounter former Jedi and deserters from the Jedi Order and from the Republic Army. Jaybo will have his armor in this Chapter, I promise. I can try to have the Rebellion be expanded later on, as well as read books like The Hunger Games, as well as watch the movies based on it, and bring in new allies. It is a good idea. There will be more references to other Star Wars Events, don't worry. For Travis Middleton, aka The Mandalorian Terminator, I will have a Chapter focusing on how the Darksaber was regained, and I answered all of your questions from the Private Messages too. Padmé will be able to speak with Sheev Palpatine and the United Nations on Earth. To Time Lord 27, Robin, as Nightwing, will eventually meet Rae Sloane when she becomes a Grand Admiral. Thank you all for voicing your questions in the reviews. Now, with all questions answered, here is my brand-new Holiday Chapter! Please be sure to review, rate, and as always, please be sure to enjoy!

Chapter 12: Battlefront

There is strength in numbers, but even more so in collective good will. For those endeavors are supported by mighty forces unseen.

Chaos across the Galaxy! After the Legion of Doom is assembled by Darth Maul, the Shadow Collective starts to conquer Planets controlled by both the Republic and the Separatist Alliance. Symbolizing their dominion over all is their Warship, the RUINATION! Having successfully stolen plans for the Ship from the Planet of Ganthel, the Boy Wonder Robin and Rae Sloane detonate a Shadow Collective Warehouse, delivering a crippling blow to Darth Maul, Gar and Tiber Saxon, its major leaders, leaving Lady Shiva in charge in their absence. However, the rise of another third party does little to change the minds of a parlay with the main sides. After time with Rae Sloane, Ahsoka and Robin now head back to rejoin their friends aboard the EQUINOX.

Serra, Miss Martian, Anakin and the Young Justice waited in the Hangar Bay of the Equinox as Ahsoka and Robin arrived in the Twilight. When the cargo bay door opened, Ahsoka and Robin came out, conversing with each other.

"I have to say, that meat was delicious," Ahsoka said. "Good thing you didn't eat everything."

"Well, the Jawa Juice was nice, and so was the Steak," Robin said. "And now that Padmé has given Credits to Rae and her family, I'm sure they'll last through a couple more years."

"Well, once we take the DarkSiders and the Legion of Doom down, we'll all be living alright," Ahsoka said before turning to the Young Justice. "Thanks for rendezvousing with us here," she said. "Now that we have the schematics of the Ruination, we can work on making a crippling blow to the Legion."

"The sooner, the better," Paula said. "There are a lot of dangerous people Maul recruited. He chose them well."

"We can study the Ruination and find a weakness in it," Anakin said. "Now that we have the data, we'll have a chance to actually fight back."

"Yes," Aqualad said. "But I doubt that the Legion will be without leadership for long. Not all good things last, after all."

"General Skywalker, General Tano," Admiral Dodonna said as he walked up to the Young Justice. "We have just come across Separatist Activity in the Kooriva System." He reported.

"What?" Artemis asked. "They're leaving?"

"But I thought the Separatists controlled Kooriva." Miss Martian said.

"Not after someone named Rainbow Raider caused everyone to fight and turned everyone against them," Admiral Dodonna said. "It's now in control of the Shadow Collective."

"But what's this about the Separatists still being there?" Rocket asked.

"They've suddenly left," Admiral Dodonna explained. "But it's not just there," he said before guiding everyone to the Communications Room. "Come see for yourselves."

1 BBY…

At an Imperial Factory on the Planet of Lothal, the Chiss known as Grand Admiral Thrawn was overlooking the new advanced TIE Defender Elite with Governor Pryce, along with his assassin, Rukh, and Captain Vult Skerris.

"The prototype proved well in the hands of the rebels, but the final result of the TIE Defender will be much more devastating," Grand Admiral Thrawn said as the final touches were being made. He turned to Governor Pryce. "And what of the Rebels now?" he asked.

"I have collapsed the mountains, but our scouts are saying there is no sign of them," Governor Pryce replied. "Shall I call in another Inquisitor to help us deal with them?"

"What we are working on here is greater than the Inquisitorius Program," Grand Admiral Thrawn replied. "We do not need any more failures after what happened a year ago."

"We don't need the Inquisitors," Rukh said deeply. "With Hera Syndulla now off of Lothal, we must make sure this factory does not go down."

"And what does Director Krennic think?" Vult Skerris asked. "Ever since Gerrera attacked the shuttle carrying his Crystal, he has been growing more impatient."

"We will not require Project Stardust when we have more TIE Defenders manufactured," Grand Admiral Thrawn said before pouring himself a cup of Jawa Juice. Suddenly, it started to float into the air. "What is this?" He asked.

At that moment, several Stormtroopers were thrown like ragdolls, flying across the room. Everyone looked down as a red streak of lightning zoomed by.

"Kid Flash?" Governor Pryce asked.

"He is not capable of such speed," Grand Admiral Thrawn said. "I believe this is one of the old enemies of the Young—"

Before Grand Admiral Thrawn could finish, the red streak of lightning raced around before throwing lightning towards him, Governor Pryce, Vult Skerris and Rukh, causing them to take cover.

The Reverse-Flash looked up and scoffed before racing away. He left the north sector of Lothal and made his way towards the south side, all without anyone else noticing him.

On the other side of Lothal, Ezra Bridger, Kanan Jarrus, Garazeb Orrelios, aka Zeb, Jai Kell, Ryder Azadi, and Sabine Wren, now with dark violet hair and yellow and purple stripes along the base of her armor, watched as several transports and speeders made their way towards their new base.

"Any word from Hera yet?" Zeb asked.

"I got word that the Imperial Blockade was broken through, and a Hangar Bay was set on fire," Jai said. "Aside from that, nothing."

"Well, as long as she's alive, we've got a chance," Ezra said. "I'm just glad the Empire hasn't found us yet."

"Don't jinx it," Sabine said. "We lost a satellite last time you jinxed it."

"Ezra, Sabine, not the time." Kanan said.

"Sorry," Ezra apologized before he looked to Ryder. "The rest of your group managed to get my transmitter, right?" He asked.

"My contacts were able to get into your Tower and get everything they could," Ryder Azadi replied. "Don't worry, everything will be alright."

"Yeah," Zeb said before walking to get a drink. However, just like with Grand Admiral Thrawn, the drink floated into the air. "Kanan? Ezra?" He asked, causing everyone to turn to him. "Any of you guys doing this? I like it, but right now, I'm thirsty!"

"I'm not doing it," Ezra said. "Never used the force on liquids before, especially make it float."

"Floating liquid?" Kanan asked. "Oh, no. Everyone, take cover!" He called out as he activated his lightsaber.

"What is it?" Sabine asked.

At that moment, Zeb was thrown into the air. Ezra gasped and activated his lightsaber as well while Sabine took out her blasters. Jai was thrown back while Ryder ducked just in time.

"Come out, Thawne!" Kanan called out before slashing his lightsaber, causing the Reverse-Flash to appear, still vibrating, but now feeling his arm from the cut made by Kanan's lightsaber.

"That's not Thrawn!" Ezra remarked.

"No, it's Eobard Thawne, the Reverse-Flash," Kanan said. "He was with Maul during the Clone Wars."

"Caleb Dume, we meet again," the Reverse-Flash said in his distorted voice. "Do something with your hair lately? Or maybe it's your eyes."

"Stay back!" Ezra called out as he took out his blaster and shot at Thawne.

The Reverse-Flash phased right through the blast before Kanan slashed at him again. However, the Reverse-Flash grabbed Kanan's hand and disarmed him of his lightsaber. Kanan tried to regain it, but Thawne spun his arm around and punched him back.

"Bad move!" Sabine yelled, spinning around and shooting at the Reverse-Flash.

Eobard Thawne raced around, eventually getting hit by a blast. Ezra grabbed Kanan's lightsaber and activated it, slashing at him with both of his blades before the Reverse-Flash grabbed him by the neck.

"Let me go, you Kid Flash knockoff!" Ezra demanded.

"Lady Shiva has plans for you." The Reverse-Flash simply said before pressing a device in his other arm, opening a breach portal.

Sabine gasped. "Ezra!" She called out, tossing an energy rope from one of her Vambraces around Thawne.

Eobard Thawne took no notice of what Sabine did and raced into the portal. As he ran though, Sabine suddenly found herself being dragged behind him, yelping as she flew after him like a kite.

"Ezra!" Jai called out.

"Sabine!" Zeb called out before Kanan and Ryder came over. "Where'd he take them?"

"Not where, when," Kanan said. "He just raced back through time!"

"Wait. Are you even concerned that Ezra has your lightsaber?" Zeb asked.

"He'll need it," Kanan said. "Because I know what time Thawne took them to."

Mustafar, 32 BBY…

The Reverse-Flash raced out from the portal, throwing Ezra forward, followed by Sabine as her rope fell off of Thawne and retracted back into her Vambrace.

"Ezra!" Sabine exclaimed.

"Sabine!" Ezra called out.

"Where are we?" Sabine asked.

"My guess? The Clone Wars again," Ezra said before looking up to the Reverse-Flash. Behind him, the rest of the Legion Of Doom came forth. "Stay back!" He ordered as he and Sabine aimed their blasters, only for Ma'alefa'ak to aim his new bladed blaster arm at him, firing a warning shot at the ground.

"So, they're from the Future?" Harley Quinn asked. "What's the kid's name? Marty? Emmet?"

"Ezra Bridger, Sabine Wren," Lady Shiva's voice announced. The Legion of Doom stepped aside, parting ways to let the Shade of the DarkSiders come through. Ezra and Sabine gasped as they looked up. "Or was it Jabba the Hutt and the Seventh Sister? I can't tell."

"Shiva!" Ezra exclaimed.

"You're alive?!" Sabine exclaimed. "I thought you went down with Gemini!"

"Like you, I'm a survivor," Lady Shiva said before activating her twin emitter lightsaber. In her other hand were the Devil's Heart Crystals. "I've sensed your powers. Add them with the strength from the Devil's Heart…" she started off before Ezra noticed something in the distance. "And you will forever be in service to the Shadow Collective."

"Yeah, I'm going to say 'no' to that," Ezra said before turning to Sabine. "Do it!"

"Are you ready?" Bina asked before she and Apurna fused into Kinetica.

"No, we're not," Sabine quipped before tossing a smoke grenade down. The Legion coughed before the two ran out. "Now, we are!" She called out before spraying paint behind her.

"What the—?!" Malcolm Merlyn yelled before looking to Felix Faust. "You're pink!" He exclaimed.

"You're racist!" Felix remarked before feeling the paint. "Oh," he said, understanding what Merlyn was saying. "I am pink."

"Get them!" Lady Shiva ordered the Legion before turning to the Reverse-Flash. "Cut them off!"

Ezra and Sabine ran through the halls. They heard the alarm go off, but they refused to stop.

"The one time we're called back to the past, and it's by a Sith!" Sabine complained as she and Ezra shot some security cameras. As they did, she let out a chuckle. "What are the odds?"

"We need to get off and find Ahsoka and the Young Justice," Ezra said. "They'll help us get back to our own time, and…" he started out before sensing something. "Hide!" He called out as he tackled Sabine into the room next to them.

Sabine gasped and shot the controls to the door, closing it before the sound of footsteps came from outside.

Ezra landed on top of Sabine. The two looked to each other awkwardly before getting up.

"We need a way out," Sabine said. "Think you can crawl through the vents?"

"I don't do that anymore," Ezra said as he walked forward. "Besides, if Shiva's here, then so is–"

"Maul!" Sabine exclaimed.

"Yeah, how did you–" Ezra started out until he turned around, coming face to face with Darth Maul himself. "Whoa!" He nearly screamed, stumbling back. However, Darth Maul did not move. His eyes were closed. "What the…?" He asked the moment he saw Darth Maul in a tube. "What's this?"

"Bacta Tanks," Sabine said. "They keep injured people in them to heal wounds," she explained before seeing who else were in Bacta Tanks. "Gar Saxon? Tiber Saxon?" She asked. "They used to be with Maul?" She asked before letting out a scoff. "Hypocrites."

"Sabine, look!" Ezra whispered, pointing to a familiar hilt on the table. "The Darksaber!"

"Good," Sabine said before she walked over and picked it up. "Great," she said after thinking about what she was doing. "I'm stealing it again."

"Consider it a good thing," Ezra said. "We're gonna need it to escape from here."

"Where are they?!" Rook Kast yelled from outside, causing Ezra and Sabine to jump in surprise before they went silent. "Find them before we make our attack on Lothal!"

"Lothal?" Ezra asked. "That's where my parents and Ryder are!"

"So are Vizago and Old Jho," Sabine said. She looked to Ezra with realization dawning on her and smiled. "You can see them again!"

"We won't be able to," Ezra said. "Change of plans. We get to Ahsoka, and tell them about what's gonna happen to Lothal if they don't stop the Shadow Collective."

"There are Death Watch Devils crawling all over this place," Sabine said. "Maul still…" she started off until something hit her. "He still controls Death Watch!"

"Which means he still has the same Fighters we have in our Fleet!" Ezra exclaimed. He immediately kissed Sabine on the lips. "You're a genius!"

"Yeah, well, I personally know Maul once ruled Mandalore, so there's that," Sabine said. She looked to Gar and Tiber's belts before removing the grenades from them. "You ready?" She asked, loading the grenades into her belt.

"Let's go," Ezra said as he and Sabine made their way towards the door. "Now!" He called out.

Ezra Force-Pushed the door open, which hit several Death Watch Devils. With them out of the way, he and Sabine ran through the halls. One of the Death Watch Devils tried to get up, but they both ran over his back, causing him to fall down again.

"Wait," Sabine said, stopping Ezra. She walked back and picked up the Death Watch Devil. "We don't know this Ship. You think you can Mind Trick him to tell us where the Hangar Bay is?"

"Close call," Ezra replied before snapping his fingers, waking up the pained Death Watch Devil. "You will instruct us how to find the Hangar Bay." He said, waving his hand in front of the Death Watch Devil's face.

"I will show you the way to the Hangar Bay," the Death Watch Devil repeated. "Turn left at the tenth hallway down, and you will reach the Hangar Bay."

"Thanks." Ezra said before snapping his fingers, knocking the Death Watch Devil again.

"Over twenty halls?" Sabine asked as she looked around. "This must be a big ship!"

"Let's just get out of here," Ezra said. "And be sure to repeat the directions to me."

"But first…" Sabine said before she took out some paint. She sprayed the Death Watch Devil in her armor colors before fitting two empty blasters in his chest. After that, she sprayed his helmet to resemble hers. "Let's go. Left at the tenth hallway down!"

"I meant every two minutes!" Ezra yelled, but not too loudly. "I still have it fresh in my head!"

Harley, General Zod and OceanMaster arrived just where Ezra and Sabine were. They looked around before seeing someone who looked like Sabine.

"One… two… three!" Harley called out, she and General Zod leading OceanMaster towards the Sabine lookalike.

Harley stepped on the Death Watch Devil's groin, causing him to sit right up before General Zod removed his helmet. Much to their surprise, two empty blasters fell from the armor, and the Death Watch Devil was fast asleep.

OceanMaster burst out laughing hysterically. He removed his helmet and laughed even more, causing Harley Quinn and General Zod to turn around and glared at him angrily. However, he only laughed even more.

"You fell for that!" OceanMaster exclaimed before laughing some more, causing General Zod and Harley Quinn to roll their eyes. "You thought that guy was a girl! He even had fake b—"

"Zip it!" Harley Quinn yelled. "Say that word, and I'll stuff you like a turkey!"

"Quit messing around, Dr. Quinzel," Lady Shiva said through the Comms. "Find those two!"

"I'm already on it!" The Reverse-Flash called out as he raced through the halls. Malcolm Merlyn and Felix Faust followed behind him.

Ma'alefa'ak flew with Kinetica through the halls. As they were flying, they heard the sound of a beeping noise. The three looked down before seeing several grenades by unconscious Death Watch Devils, all set to go off.

"I got this!" Bina called out as she flew forward. She held her hands out and created a bubble around all of the grenades, but one rolled towards them as the bubble closed. "Run!" She called out before the three flew away from the scene.

Ezra and Sabine ran down the hall, shooting at more Death Watch Devils who got in their way. Sabine shot at one of them before spinning around and slashing at three more. As more flew at her, she shot at them her flamethrower, causing them to scream.

Ezra held his main lightsaber in his left hand, slashing away at the Death Watch Devils while using his blaster in his right hand to shoot back at the rest. He put away his DL-44 Blaster Pistol and took out Kanan's blue lightsaber, deflecting more blasts from the Death Watch Devils before leaping forward, cutting two more in half.

"We're almost there," Ezra said as he and Sabine turned the corner. They entered the Hangar Bay and looked around in surprise. "Whoa!"

Around Ezra and Sabine in the Hangar Bay were several Mandalorian Star Cruisers, as well as hundreds of Mandalorian Fighters and Cargo Ships. Droids were busy unloading the cargo while Ziton Moj was checking on a Ship with the emblem of the Black Sun on it.

"This is a Hangar Bay?" Sabine asked. "I'm almost afraid to know how big this Ship is."

"So am I," Ezra said as he looked around. "Let's just take a ship and get out of here."

"Right," Sabine said before she put her helmet on her head. As soon as it was on, she started to scan each Fighter. "They all have supplies in them, but that Ship, the fifth one near the Cruiser," she started out as she pointed her finger towards a Death Watch Fighter near a large Cruiser Ship for Ezra to see. "It's fully fueled up, has lots of guns, and from what I'm reading, it's carrying blasters and an assortment of different weapons in its crates."

"Let's go," Ezra said, not noticing Sabine suddenly feeling her head before lifting up the Darksaber Hilt. "Just need to go before—"

At that moment, Sabine activated the Darksaber. Ezra gasped and activated both of his lightsabers, placing them behind his back as he heard the Darksaber swing down towards him. He turned around and broke off, seeing Ma'alefa'ak and Eobard Thawne arrive, the former holding a hand out to Sabine.

"Going somewhere?" Martian Starkiller asked. "We were so looking forward to having you as our guests."

"Nowhere to run or hide, Bridger," Thawne said before Lady Shiva arrived. "Now… be a good boy. Behave and come with us."

"And if I refuse?" Ezra asked.

"A bit of advice: don't," Lady Shiva said before she activated her lightsaber. "Ma'alefa'ak, let's go!" She called out before she and Sabine charged at Ezra.

Ezra activated both of his lightsabers again before noticing Ma'alefa'ak moving his hand as Sabine ran at him. He narrowed his eyes before using his green lightsaber to slash Lady Shiva away. He used both of his blades to block an attack from Sabine with the Darksaber before Shiva ran and slashed at him again. This time, he broke off with Sabine and slashed a SokaTan Strike at Lady Shiva, allowing him to jump onto a railing.

"Sabine! Snap out of it!" Ezra called out. "You can fight him!"

Sabine did not listen. Instead, she took out a blaster and shot at Ezra while the Reverse-Flash spun wind at him.

Ezra shot back at the two before holding his hand out.

Eobard Thawne immediately stopped attacking and turned to Ma'alefa'ak. Ezra looked down and punched forward, getting the Reverse-Flash to ram himself right into Martian Starkiller, freeing Sabine from his mind control.

"Did not see that coming." Lady Shiva mused.

Ezra leapt down and slashed Lady Shiva to the side before grabbing Sabine as she nearly fell.

"What happened?" Sabine asked as she removed her helmet, revealing yellow eyes before reverting back to her normal shade. "Last thing I remember was scanning the Fighters."

"You were taken over… again." Ezra said.

"Seriously?!" Sabine exclaimed. "I hate it when something whammies me!"

"You mean like the Nightsisters or Maul?" Ezra asked.

"Like I said: something." Sabine said sternly.

"We can work on fixing that later," Ezra remarked. "Right now, we need to go… for real this time!" He said before he and Sabine ran towards their targeted Mandalorian Fighter.

Lady Shiva panted as she looked up. "Kast, lock on the turrets!" She ordered. "And charge up the Fusion Cannons!"

"Feels like home," Ezra said as he got into the seat of the Mandalorian Fighter. "This thing have any failsafes like the TIE Fighters?" He asked Sabine.

"Yes, and I'm disabling it right now," Sabine replied before cutting some wires. "Go!"

Ezra took off, but not before using the Fighter's guns to destroy part of the Hangar Bay. As soon as it was in flames, he flew out. Sabine went up to Ezra and smiled before the two gasped.

As Ezra flew out, they were in full view of the Ruination. Its guns fired up and aimed at the stolen Mandalorian Fighter.

"That's one hell of a big ship!" Ezra exclaimed.

"Fly, Ezra, fly!" Sabine yelled anxiously.

Ezra turned the Ship around and flew off, evading the gunfire from the Ruination. The wings of the Mandalorian Fighter spun around wildly, each turn saving Ezra and Sabine from the wrath of the Ruination.

"We need to make the Jump to Hyperspace!" Ezra said. "Can we find where Ahsoka is?"

"Ahsoka, this is Sabine Wren with Ezra Bridger!" Sabine called out through the Comms Channel. "If you hear us, we need your help!" She yelled before searching through the Nav Computer. "Set a course for Ganthel! That's where they last were!"

"Fire the Fusion Cannon… now!" Lady Shiva ordered.

"Coordinates locked!" Ezra exclaimed before hearing the hum of the Ruination's Fusion Cannons. "Jump! Jump! Jump!" He yelled frantically.

The Fusion Cannons fired at Ezra and Sabine, but they already made the Jump to Lightspeed. Everyone watched instead as the blast destroyed one of the mountains on Mustafar.

"Lady Shiva?" A Death Watch Devil asked as Lady Shiva clenched her fists. "They plotted a course towards Ganthel. Should we—?"

"One-two-three-four-five-six-seven-eight-nine… ten," Lady Shiva counted before taking a deep breath, stopping her facial markings from growing. "Leave them be," she said. "Prepare for our attack on Lothal. No more delays."

Over Ganthel, Ahsoka and the Young Justice watched as more Separatist Dreadnaught Ships left the Planets they were charged to protect. Zatanna narrowed her eyes as she saw several ships leave Mygeeto. Rocket watched as General Grievous come out of the Vortex leading another Separatist Dreadnaught before another ship departed from Coreign.

"That makes at least seven Separatist Dreadnaught Ships to leave their Planets," Connor said. "Do we have any idea as to where they're all headed?"

"Their communications have been very difficult to decode," Jaybo Hood said. "We can't hack into any of their channels, no matter what we try."

"There are still Separatists on other Planets," Saw said. He let out a grumble. "Can't believe they're not even gonna focusing on Maul and the Legion like we are."

"It's hard for them to change their minds easily," Lux said. "Trust me, as a former Separatist, I should know."

"But both Republic and Separatists are still shaken by the Shadow Collective," Jaybo said. "Even after we spread the footage of Robin and Rae taking out its leaders, we still have a long way to go before we get support to fight the Legion."

"There has to be something we can do," Ahsoka said. "I mean, we have the schematics of the Ruination. But by the time we finish studying it, we still have to get enough votes to agree to launch a full-scale assault and end this for good."

All of a sudden, Ahsoka's Arm-Mounted Crossbow Gauntlet sounded off. Everyone looked to Ahsoka with a little confusion on their faces.

"Who could be calling at a time like this?" Rocket asked.

"Let's find out." Ahsoka said as she played the transmission coming to her.

"Ahsoka Tano, this is Sabine Wren with Ezra Bridger," Sabine's voice said, surprising everyone. "If you can hear me, we are escaping the Shadow Collective, and we need your help! We… Ezra, look out!" She cried before the transmission ended.

"Ezra and Sabine?" Anakin asked. "It's almost been a year. Where have they been?"

"I don't know, but if they're in trouble, we need to help them," Zatanna said before typing onto the console. "If I can get a trace on their signal, maybe we can…" she started out before the alarms blared.

"What's going on?" Wally asked.

"We have a Ship coming out of Hyperspace." One of the Clone Tacticians reported.

"The Legion?" Miss Martian asked. "They found us?"

"Only one way to find out." Barriss said.

"Come on," Ahsoka told the rest of the Young Justice. "Let's see who it is."

Katooni nodded and went to Ahsoka as everyone went to the Bridge. Soon, a single Mandalorian Fighter appeared and slowly made its way towards the Equinox.

"One Fighter?" Katooni mused. "Shouldn't be a problem."

"Generals, we're receiving a transmission from the Ship," One of the Clone Technicians said. "They request to speak to you."

"Put them through." Ahsoka ordered.

"Jedi Cruiser, this is Ezra Bridger," Ezra's voice said, causing Ahsoka and the entire Young Justice to smile with relief. "Requesting permission to land."

Admiral Dodonna turned to Ahsoka, Anakin and the Young Justice. "Well?" He asked. "What shall we do?"

"Let them in," Ahsoka ordered. "They're safe."

"You think they'll let us board?" Sabine asked Ezra.

"This is the only Jedi Star Cruiser here," Ezra said. "If Ahsoka's on it, we're good."

"And if it's someone like Titus or Konstantine? Some Imperial Officers we know used to be Republic Officers, so we need to be careful." Sabine pointed out.

"Ahsoka, Rex, Saw and Obi-Wan are the only ones from our time who don't recall meeting us in the past," Ezra said. "I think we're safe."

"Ezra Bridger and Sabine Wren, this is Admiral Dodonna." Came in Admiral Dodonna's voice.

"Admiral Dodonna?" Sabine asked. "He's a Republic Officer?"

"Great," Ezra said. "Hope that doesn't mess up anything for us in the present."

"By authorization of General Ahsoka Tano, you are cleared to land," Admiral Dodonna went on. "Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker and the Young Justice will meet with you shortly."

Ezra and Sabine looked to each other for a moment.

"Well, we're already here," Ezra said. "No matter what we change, we'll know we're doing it for the greater good."

"Wise words," Sabine said. "Kanan sure has been teaching you well."

"Yeah," Ezra said. "He sure has."

Ahsoka, Anakin and the Young Justice waited for Ezra and Sabine to arrive. Soon, the Mandalorian Starfighter landed inside the Hangar Bay, its wings positioning themselves upwards. The cargo door opened, and sure enough, Ezra Bridger and Sabine Wren themselves walked out.

"Ezra!" Ahsoka exclaimed. "Sabine!"

"Hey, Ahsoka!" Ezra said as he came over. The two shared a hug before Sabine did the same. "Guys, great to see you again."

"Good to know you're safe," Aqualad said. "Your message sounded urgent."

"Yeah," Sabine said. "We've got some information for you concerning the DarkSiders, as well as their new recruits."

"You got away from Maul's Legion of Doom?" Artemis asked. "Wow. That is impressive."

"Legion of Doom?" Ezra asked. "Appropriate name. Those guys were crazy."

"I'm still hearing that evil Martian in my head." Sabine added on as she felt her head.

Miss Martian and Ahsoka looked to each other with shock before turning back to Ezra and Sabine.

"Ma'alefa'ak? Martian Starkiller?" Miss Martian asked. "He's back?"

"I thought Sonia cut off his arm." Serra pondered.

"Sonia?" Sabine asked.

"He must have gotten a new one," Artemis said. "At least we'll be able to tell who he is when he turns into someone. Look out for a metal arm."

"Yeah, well, we'd better get more Clones here," Ezra said. "The Legion is preparing a full-scale attack."

"A full-scale attack?" Serra asked. "Are you sure?"

"Shili again?" Artemis asked.

"The Lothal System," Sabine said. "Lady Shiva is going to lead the Legion there for a full-scale assault."

"With the Ruination on their side, it'll only take one Ship to make a blockade," Anakin said before pressing his comlink. "Admiral, take us back to Coruscant," he ordered Jan Dodonna. "We need to speak with the Council and the Senate to stage an attack against the Shadow Collective and its Legion of Doom."

"Right away, General Skywalker," Admiral Dodonna replied from the Bridge. "We'll plot the coordinates in immediately."

"Good," Ahsoka said. She and Miss Martian looked to Ezra and Sabine, who both waned at them, before looking to Sabine. "Nice new coat you got there."

"By the way, how'd you get the Darksaber?" Paula asked Sabine. "Wasn't that with Bo-Katan?"

"Yeah, while I was on Ganthel, we discovered that Maul regained it somehow," Robin explained. "We need to contact Bo-Katan to let her know we have it," he said before looking back to Sabine. "But how did you get it?"

"I actually took it from Maul while he was in a Bacta Tank," Sabine explained. "Ezra taught me how to use lightsabers in combat. He's a great teacher."

"Right," Ahsoka said before looking to Anakin. "Can you check on the League?" The Togruta Jedi Knight asked. "We'll just have a talk with Ezra and Sabine for a minute."

Anakin grinned. "Sure thing," he said. "Take your time." He said before walking off.

Ahsoka nodded before Anakin left the room. As soon as he was gone, everyone turned back to Ezra and Sabine.

"You're back!" Zatanna exclaimed.

"What's going on in your time?" Rocket asked.

"Face any future Sith lately?" Artemis asked, causing Katooni and Barriss to look to each other with confusion, unaware of what they were talking about.

"This is the fourth time we've seen you," Serra said as she looked to Ezra and Sabine from head to toe. "And each time, it looks like you've always changed something about yourself."

"But… how did you get here?" Ahsoka asked after deactivating the security cameras. "Last time I checked, only me or the Father can send you back to this time."

"Eobard Thawne, The Reverse-Flash," Ezra replied. "He brought me and Sabine here."

"Me, by accident… again." Sabine added on.

"That makes sense," Kid Flash said. "With the Speed Force, any Speedster can time-travel. Thawne must have done it to go to Ezra and Sabine's time."

"And bring us to Lady Shiva," Ezra chimed back in. "She wanted to use the Devil's Heart Crystals to make us work for her in the Shadow Collective."

"Scary things, those Crystals," Barriss said. "Now that they've been removed from my systems, I can see more clearly… but knowing what they cost me… that's scary."

"Yeah, I know," Ahsoka said before turning back to Ezra and Sabine. "But what's this all about an attack?"

"The Legion, they're planning to attack the Planet of Lothal," Ezra said. "Have there been any battles there yet?"

"Only to stop Maul and Gemini a few times," Ahsoka answered. "But no major battles with the Separatists or the ORDER. So far, Lothal is the only Planet that no side has even gotten to fight over yet."

"Well, the Shadow Collective plans to attack Lothal with the Ruination, and at least a fleet worth of Ships." Ezra said.

"That's where Thawne brought us," Sabine spoke up. "We saw the Ruination, inside and out. It's bigger on the inside than any Star Cruiser you've ever seen."

"Wait," Ahsoka interrupted. "You've seen the inside of the Ruination?"

"Yes…" Ezra said.

"Damn, Ezra!" Rocket said with a smile on her face. "We've been trying to get a good inside look of that Ship for a while now. You and Sabine have just played a huge role in making our job easier."

"We need to find a way to take down the Ruination for good," Robin explained. "If you were able to get a look inside of it, we might have a chance of destroying it."

"That's good, but enough of the Ruination," Ezra said. "Don't you realize what will happen if the DarkSiders get Lothal?"

Ahsoka narrowed her eyes at Ezra, as did Sabine.

"What are we talking about here?" Ahsoka asked.

"Ezra," Sabine whispered. "Emperor Palpatine turned the Republic into the Empire. Why do you want to tell them this?"

"It won't make a difference in the future," Ezra whispered back. "They'll still be controlling Lothal. This is the battle that led the Empire to take Lothal. This is how Old Jho's place gets the Gunship, my helmets, everything. This is how we shape history."

"If you say so," Sabine said out loud before turning back to Ahsoka and the Young Justice. "We're ready now."

"Okay," Ahsoka said before turning back to Ezra. "You were saying about Lothal?"

"There are a lot of resources on Lothal that could make the Ruination or any other Ship stronger than they were before," Ezra explained. "The Shadow Collective can use those resources to increase the strength of their fleet. There's a lot of ore and other minerals that could be dangerous if it falls into the wrong hands," he went on. "Shiva will make the Shadow Collective Fleet greater than it was before if we don't do something about it."

"He's not wrong," Serra said. "Coreign has ore too. That's why Master Echo and Kira were sent to help with the Republic Army to help make sure it doesn't fall into the hands of the Separatists."

"Sounds like a lot of ore to fight over." Kid Flash mused.

"There's something else," Ezra said. "It's where I'm born in the future."

"What?" Ahsoka asked in surprise.

"The DarkSiders could kill a lot of people there," Ezra said. "My parents are active politicians from that Planet. If they die, I'll cease to exist."

"And if you've seen the strength of the Fusion Cannons on the Ruination, then you know what they can do to a Planet," Sabine added on. "They might not destroy it, but they can do a lot of damage that can't be undone."

"I don't expect you to do this just because you want to destroy the Ruination, but there are a lot of good, innocent people on Lothal who will die if we don't act," Ezra said. But the Shadow Collective will ravage my home unless we make a stand."

Ahsoka nodded. "Your words are those of wisdom," she said. "It shows how much you've changed since the last time we fought together."

Ezra smiled. "So does that mean you'll help in the Defense of Lothal?" He asked as Sabine smiled as well.

"Of course," Miss Martian said. "For all that's happened with you helping us, it's the least we can do."

"I'll make a plea to the Senate," Lux said. "Hopefully, Prime Minister Azadi and the Chancellor will back us up."

Ezra and Sabine looked to each other with surprise.

"The Chancellor?" Ezra asked. "I'm not sure I want to speak with him…"

"Great idea," Ahsoka said to Lux. "Padmé will be sure to help out."

Ezra and Sabine sighed with relief. "Oh, good," he said, causing everyone to look to him with surprise. "I mean… what happened to Palpatine?"

"On Earth, seeing what it has to offer," Barriss replied. "By the way… did you ever get rid of that slingshot?" she asked, getting Sabine to raise an eyebrow. "There are times when I still have nightmares about it."

"Oh, the slingshot!" Ezra said. "Yeah, after I built my first lightsaber, I exchanged it for a wrist-com," he explained. "Then my lightsaber got destroyed, I made a new one, and I'm using a blaster too."

"Good," Barriss said. "The last thing I need is to think of a low-pulse energy blast going down my throat again." She said before walking away.

"By the way, nice lightsaber," Ahsoka said as she looked to Kanan's lightsaber on Ezra's belt. "Padawans always step up to using two blades. Just remember to keep fighting like yourself," she advised. "I learned that the hard way." She mused before walking away.

"So that's what you mean when you said you defeated Barriss with no lightsaber," Sabine said. "You… you used your slingshot to take her down?" she asked, feeling confused.

"Yeah, you sorta had to be there on New Holstice," Ezra said. "But she's on our side now. Besides, before we hear from Hera, we can actually fight in the Battle of Lothal! I've been dreaming about fighting a war for it ever since Vader forced us away."

"What about your parents?" Sabine asked. "They're still alive at this point, so what are you going to say to them?"

Ezra stopped, as did Ahsoka and Connor.

"I… I never thought about that," Ezra replied. "I guess… I guess I'll just say 'Hi' to them and… hope they remember me in their last moments." He said before walking away.

Ahsoka walked over to Sabine. "What happens to Ezra' parents in the future?" she asked.

Sabine sighed. "It's not something he likes to openly discuss," she said. "From our time, the Empire imprisoned anyone who spoke out against them. One day, there was a prison break, and Ezra's parents were among the prisoners there. They didn't rest until everyone who was imprisoned made it out… at the cost of their own lives," she said before shedding a tear from the story. "They died knowing Ezra helped to shape the Galaxy for the better… but it broke his heart to hear the news. He was never the same afterwards."

"I know the feeling," Connor said. "Being in Superman's shadow was never easy. He and I never saw eye to eye, not even once."

"Don't worry," Ahsoka said. "Ezra won't be so sad for much longer," she stated before looking to Sabine. "By the way, I love the hair." She said before she and Connor walked away.

Sabine smiled. She walked over to Ezra.

"You'll see your parents again, I promise," Sabine said. "And to be honest, after seeing how far you've come… I've always wanted to meet them."

Ezra smiled. "Thanks," he said. "It mean a lot."

Back aboard the Ruination, Lady Shiva was in the Medical Bay. She looked to the side to see that the Darksaber was now missing.

"Don't worry, Lord Maul," Lady Shiva said. "I will let the ones from the past die… kill them… if I must." She said before walking away.

When Lady Shiva came out, Harley Quinn was leaning against the doorway, waiting for her.

"You know, I did a little research on your history with the Shadow Saber," Harley said. "Turns out you never needed the whole thing, just the special crystal inside."

"It was a Sith Kyber Crystal that once belonged to the fallen Togruta Jedi known as Ashara," Lady Shiva explained. "All crystals can be bled, corrupted… but not hers. It could contain the rage of any being, and focus it into energy to power the blade without falling closer to the Dark Side. As a Shade, I can lose control of my emotions easily, making myself susceptible to the Dark Side of the Force," she went on. "I am formidable with any kind of lightsaber, but without the crystal, I am a hazard to myself and my allies."

"Well, thank goodness I got this from Katana during the prison break," Harley said, causing Lady Shiva to turn to her as she revealed a small silver crystal in her hand. "Got it without breaking a bone."

"Yes!" Lady Shiva exclaimed, hugging Harley instantly. "But how did you—?"

"You ever wonder why I was thrown into Arkham again?" Harley asked. "Guy named Albert Sirico was selling Kyber Crystals on the Black Market in Detroit. Snagged myself some of them. When Katana came to stop us after you broke me out, I swiped the crystal after you made her go Worf. I saw something special about this crystal, so I geld onto it 'till you stopped being Bad Kirk."

"I never took you for a Trekkie," Lady Shiva said as she grabbed the crystal. "I don't say this a lot, but… thank you." She said before placing the silver crystal into her twin-emitter lightsaber, disposing of her blood-red crystal inside.

"So, that Bridger and Wren…" Harley said as Lady Shiva twirled around her lightsaber, now with the reclaimed Kyber Focusing Crystal inside of it. "You've faced them before, huh?"

"Only when I was with Gemini," Lady Shiva replied. "Bridger was a Jedi who I apparently never met before. That girl, Sabine Wren, was with him during the Defense of the Jedi Temple," she added on. "After the Battle of Tython, I never saw them again. I learned from Thawne that they came from the Future, from a time when he's one of the few Jedi remaining."

"Ain't ya gonna get more reinforcements from the future?" Harley Quinn asked.

"Bridger and Wren were one of the few who could go up against me for a while and hold their own," Lady Shiva said. "To bring them here and corrupt them would give us the edge we need to take down the Republic and the Separatists. I just never anticipated their escape."

"Well, they're probably off to Ahsoka and the YJ," Harley said. "But that won't stop us from getting our hands on that prism, right?" she asked, rubbing her hands together intently.

"You're right," Lady Shiva said with a smug grin on her face. "Besides, Lothal is full of resources. It's time for the Shadow Collective to make its move on that grassy, ore-filled Planet."

At this time, Ezra was training with Sabine. Everyone watched as she used the Darksaber against him while he used both his own lightsaber and Kanan's blade as well.

"One!" Ezra called out as he slashed at Sabine low with an Ataru strike before spinning around and slashing down at her from above. "Two!" He called out before using both of his blades to slash at her in the midsection. She managed to block this as well. "Three!" He announced before crossing his blades and thrusting towards Sabine. She held up the Darksaber and blocked the blades. "Four," he announced before slashing at the middle again. "Five!" He called out before slashing at her side with both of his blades again, causing her to block. "Six." He finished up as Sabine held her stance.

"Impressive… most impressive," Anakin said as he walked in. Ezra, Sabine, Ahsoka and the Young Justice all turned to him as he entered the Training Room. "I'm surprised at how far you've come with your lightsaber training, Ezra," he complimented before turning to Sabine. "You too, Sabine."

"Thanks, Master Skywalker," Ezra said. "Sabine and I have been training hard in bladed combat."

"We can see that," Ahsoka said. She looked to Sabine and smiled. "I never pegged you to be so good with a blade."

"All thanks to Ezra." Sabine said modestly.

"That reminds me," Anakin said. "Master Billaba and Honor Salima are going to be waiting for us when we get to Coruscant," he said, causing Ezra's eyes to widen when he remembered Kanan and the Grand Inquisitor talk about Depa Billaba before. "We'll be coming out of Hyperspace soon. Get ready to head down to the surface when we arrive."

"Thanks for letting us know, Skyguy," Ahsoka said. "It will be good to see Master Billaba again."

"Yeah…" Ezra said nervously. "Jedi Master Depa Billaba."

"Who knows?" Miss Martian chimed in. "She might bring her new Padawan with her too."

Ezra and Sabine exchanged nervous glances with one another.

"What was his name again?" Serra asked as Ezra rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. "Oh, right! Caleb Dume!"

"Caleb Dume?!" Sabine exclaimed quietly, almost choking on her own spit. She let out a couple of coughs.

"Are you alright, Sabine?" Aqualad asked as he turned to Sabine with an eyebrow raised.

"Oh, I just need some… water." Sabine said while trying to recompose herself.

"Don't worry," Kaldur'ahm said. "I can get one for you quickly." He said before walking away.

"Um, take your time!" Ahsoka called out before turning to Ezra and Sabine. "Caleb Dume grows up to become Kanan Jarrus in the future, right?" She whispered.

Sabine nodded, still trying to regain her composure.

"Yeah," Ezra confirmed as well. "We meet him this early, the future for us is bound to change."

"Well, hopefully, you won't meet him." Serra said.

"Actually, you won't be meeting him at all," Anakin said as he walked over, causing everyone to jump in surprise. "I don't know what's going on here, but I just got word from Obi-Wan that Padawan Dume has committed himself to more training at the Temple."

"Oh." Sabine said assuredly.

"Thank goodness, phew!" Ezra said in relief.

"Um… excuse me?" Anakin asked.

"Well, um… we, uh…" Sabine started to stutter, trying to find the right words to use.

"What we mean is that as prodigies, we get nervous around other trainees," Ezra explained. "No offense to this Caleb Dume fellow."

"None… taken." Anakin said, feeling very much confused.

"Right," Black Canary said as well as she came out from the doorway. She had some gauze around her left arm, as well as on her right knee. "I just spoke with Admiral Dodonna. We're coming out of Hyperspace. Honor Salima and Master Billaba will be waiting for us to arrive."

"Black Canary!" Sabine exclaimed in surprise.

"Dinah!" Serra exclaimed. "You're supposed to be resting!" she said as she ran to Dinah's aid.

"Now, how could I rest when I heard that you scored a major hit against the Shadow Collective?" Black Canary asked before looking to Ezra and Sabine with a smile on her face. "Ezra, Sabine. It's great to see you again."

"You too, Dinah." Sabine replied.

"Now that you think of it, she sounds a lot like Hera," Ezra whispered to Sabine as the two walked towards the trainer of the Young Justice. "Black Canary, how are you doing?" he asked. "I heard the Legion did a number on you last time."

Black Canary chuckled. "Well, a Canary can't stay down forever," she said. "We haven't heard from you ever since we defeated Gemini on Tython," she recalled. "I see you two have managed to come to us once again."

"Well, when the DarkSiders captured us, we escaped," Ezra said. "Plus, we're now ready to help you do a number on them."

"Greatly appreciated," Black Canary said as the Equinox came out of Hyperspace. Everyone looked forward to see a large Star Cruiser approach them as they made their way towards the surface of Coruscant. "I just hope you're able to stick around longer this time." She said before walking away.

"Do you think the Senate will listen to us?" Ezra asked Ahsoka as she walked over. "After what the Ruination did to you guys, and almost did to us as well, I hope they back us up in helping to repel them from Lothal."

"Well, we'll see what Prime Minister Azadi thinks about it," Ahsoka replied, causing Ezra and Sabine's eyes to widen. "You've met him in the Future, haven't you?"

"Yeah," Ezra replied. "That means we can't meet with him."

"Which is a problem since Ezra is the one who wants the Republic Army to help fend off against the Shadow Collective when they attack Lothal." Sabine pointed out.

"We'll figure something out," Miss Martian said. "Don't worry."

The equinox made its way into the hemisphere of Coruscant, overseeing the Jedi Temple and the Senate Building. The Star Cruiser waiting for them came up alongside them, docking nearby. Ahsoka, the Young Justice, Anakin, Ezra, Sabine, Black Canary and the Justice League Representatives waited in the Hangar Bay as a Gunship arrived. Out from it came Depa Billaba, Sarah, James and Henri, as well as Clone Commander Grey.

"Hello, Master Billaba," Anakin said as he and Ahsoka walked up to Depa Billaba. "How are you recovering?"

"I'm recovering well," Depa Billaba replied. "There was a little attack on the Temple, but nothing we couldn't handle."

"Good," Ahsoka said. "I hope you're ready for anther mission, because we just got word of the DarkSiders preparing to attack Lothal."

"Lothal, huh?" Depa asked.

"What's on Lothal?" James asked.

"Valuable resources," Ezra said as he and Sabine stepped up. "Ore, gold, you name it. Enough sources for the Shadow Collective to increase the strength of the Ruination tenfold."

"Who are you two?" Sarah asked.

"Mrs. Phillips-Hiller, these are Ezra Bridger and Sabine Wren," Ahsoka said. "They helped in the defense of the Jedi Monument on New Holstice, the Battle of Shili, and the stand against Gemini Rouge both on here and Tython."

"I was told about you two," Depa said as she walked towards Ezra and Sabine. "Quite the big deals," she mused before looking to Kanan's lightsaber hilt on Ezra's belt. "You know, my newest Padawan has a lightsaber just like that one you've got," she said as Ezra picked up his two lightsaber hilts. "Were you and Caleb with Huyang in the same class when they constructing your lightsaber?"

"This actually belonged to my Master once before he passed," Ezra said. "But I rather you not tell your Padawan about me."

"For what reasons?" Depa Billaba asked.

"I'm just trying to avoid becoming a celebrity," Ezra said. "I don't really want to become involved with crowds just yet."

Depa Billaba chuckled. "Fair enough," she said before walking back to Anakin and Ahsoka. "The Council will want to hear more about the true threat of the Shadow Collective now that they have the Ruination on their side."

"We're going to need more forces to take on the Shadow Collective too," Ezra added on. "Sabine and I have personally been inside it. We know the threat it poses, and we want to help take it down as much as all of you do."

"I'll see what Chancellor Amidala thinks once we present the evidence to the Senate," Lux said. "It will take a hell of a lot of power to make a hit on the Ruination."

"Good thing we have a lot of friends who can help us out," Ahsoka pointed out. "Come on now. Let's get a move on."

Everyone nodded as the Young Justice made their way to the Bioship. Anakin, Ahsoka, Serra, Katooni, Barriss and the Justice League Representatives all made their way towards the Gunship. Soon, both Ships were making their way towards either the Jedi Temple or the Senate Building.

Ezra and Sabine both looked around the Bioship as Miss Martian took it down to the Senate Building. Paula and the rest of the Young Justice looked to them as smile appeared on the faces of the two.

"No matter how many times we've been in here, this Ship still amazes us." Sabine mused.

"Trust me, I know the feeling," Rocket said. "I always feel the same way ever since I first set foot in here too."

"So, Lothal…" Robin said as he brought up the file on Lothal through his Hologlove, tapping into Republic records. "Lots of grass and mountains, from what I can tell. It's horrifying to think the DarkSiders would want to attack a place like this."

"And as we said, a lot of ore too," Ezra said. "From the time we're from, the Empire we're fighting is trying to get the resources of Lothal for their own weapon. If the DarkSiders were to get their hands on those kinds of resources," he started to explain. "We'd have already lost the War. The Shadow Collective would have replaced the Empire we're trying to take down."

"Hopefully, we can change all that," Artemis said. "And don't worry, we won't ask any questions about what the Future holds for us."

"We've already seen enough Time Travel Movies to know what happens if we do that," Kid Flash added on. "We'll let everything just come to us naturally, wait for everything to happen when it happens."

"Thanks," Sabine said. "This is very much appreciated."

"Any time," Paula said. "Just tell us who you don't want to meet yet, and we'll make sure they're out of your sight."

"Once again, thanks," Ezra said before he and Miss Martian suddenly sensed something. "I suddenly have a bad feeling about this."

At that moment, a Separatist Dreadnaught came out of Hyperspace. Several more Dreadnaughts followed behind it before some Sheathipede Class Shuttles flew down as well.

"Any guesses as to what the Separatists want?" Jaybo asked.

"Whatever it is, we don't have time for it," Lux said. "We need to make our move against the Shadow Collective, and they're not stopping us."

"I just hope Anakin, Ahsoka and the others are doing better than we are." Ezra said.

At the Jedi Temple, Anakin, Ahsoka, Serra, Katooni and Barriss walked with Depa Billaba towards the Jedi Council Chambers.

"This attack on Lothal is unprecedented," Jedi Master Depa Billaba said. "From what I've been told about Lothal, if we can get it before the Shadow Collective or the Separatists, then we can help preserve the resources they have, and maybe earn some for ourselves."

"We still need to inform the Council about what the Shadow Collective has been doing," Serra said. "As long as they have the Ruination at full power, and without a weakness found so far, they'll be damn near impossible to defeat without the full support of the Republic Fleet."

"Elius Echo and Kira Nyon are returning from a training session," Depa Billaba said. "Master Echo's influence over the Jedi Pilots will be sure to give you more firepower in this fight."

"The rest will have to be up to the Young Justice," Anakin said. "They'll need to sway the Senate into lending us the firepower we need."

"I just hope we have better luck." Katooni said before everyone entered the Jedi Council Chambers.

"Anakin, Ahsoka," Obi-Wan said as soon as all of the Jedi entered. "I've been telling Master Windu and the other Jedi Masters about the Ruination," he explained. "Even though Master Windu and Master Billaba had to leave for their own wounds to heal, they're willing to help as much as they can to bring it down."

"And from the data scans you have sent us, we have figured out what powers its Fusion Cannons," Kit Fisto added on. "Are you familiar with the Rakata Infinite Empire?"

"Yes," Ahsoka replied. "I remember studying about it during my times at the Archives with Madame Jocasta."

"The Infinite Empire, during its days of the Old Republic, created a weapon of mass destruction called the Star Forge," Barriss said. "After the War ended, the Rakata lost the Star Forge, and just a couple of years ago, it was found on Lehon, and was kept there for safekeeping."

"Until Maul attacked and stole it," Shaak Ti said. "Further detail into the Ruination shows that it is now being used to power the Fusion Cannons to a great extent."

"So, the Star Forge can match my powers of Light, a full blast from the Bioship, and the firepower that the Young Justice possesses?" Ahsoka asked. "That's a scary thought."

"We need more Jedi to fight the Shadow Collective," Anakin said. "They're already planning to attack Lothal for its resources, planning to make it stronger than it already was before."

"This information, where did you get it?" Master Yoda asked.

"From Ezra Bridger and Sabine Wren," Serra said. "They escaped the Legion and came to us."

"Young Ezra Bridger… again?" Obi-Wan asked. "He is definitely full of surprises."

"Yes…" Mace Windu said while trying to hide away a grin on his face, being one of the few outside of the Young Justice to know Ezra and Sabine were from the Future. "Very surprising indeed."

"We will discuss what action we will take," Plo Koon said. "We thank you for bringing this to our attention, but we have a lot to discuss now."

"Don't take too long, Masters," Ahsoka said as she looked to the window to the Senate. "I have a feeling we won't have that long for an open discussion."

At the Senate Building, Padmé walked down with several Senate Commandos at her side. Everyone looked to her before Sly Moore and Mas Amedda joined her as well.

"What are the Separatists doing here?" Sabine asked. "Don't they know that we're already having a crisis with the DarkSiders right now?"

"Trust me, they always know how to make things worse," Saw said before turning to Lux, who had his eyebrow raised. "No offense."

"None taken," Lux replied before Aqualad led everyone after Padmé and the Senate Guards. "Chancellor Amidala!" he called out. "Do you know what's going on?"

"I don't know yet," Padmé replied as the Young Justice walked up alongside her. "But I intend to find out," she stated before seeing Ezra and Sabine. "You must be the two who saved the New Holstice Jedi Monument, Shili and Tython," she said. "Ezra and Sabine Bridger, was it?"

Immediately, at hearing the sound of the two being related, Ezra and Sabine blushed while the rest of the Young Justice tried to stifle back some laughter.

"No… not yet…" Ezra replied cheekily, causing Sabine to pinch him. "Ah, I'm just Ezra Bridger. This is my gi—"

Sabine growled softly, knowing where Ezra was going, while blushing at the same time. Padmé looked to her with an eyebrow raised, causing her to chuckle nervously.

"It's just Sabine Wren," Sabine finished up. "A… good friend of Ezra, for four years, to be honest."

Padmé grinned. "Sure you are…" she said mischievously. She sent Ezra and Sabine a wink. "Good move." She whispered to Sabine before everyone made their way towards the Landing Dock, where the Sheathipede Class Shuttle had landed.

"I thought we were a thing!" Ezra whispered to Sabine, blushing a little.

"Those were kisses that Kanan and Hera never knew about," Sabine whispered back, unable to prevent anyone from seeing her blush once again. "And until the time is right, I want to keep it that way."

"Whatever you say." Ezra said as the rest of the Young Justice chuckled softly.

Sarah, James and Henri all stood at the Landing Platform, waiting as Padmé and the Young Justice arrived. As soon as they did, the Separatist Shuttle opened, revealing Count Dooku, Tol Skorr, General Grievous and Lott Dod. Immediately, all of the Clone Troopers and Senate Commandos aimed their blasters at the three, as did Artemis, Huntress, Lux, Saw, Jaybo, Ezra and Sabine. All Sarah, James and Henri did was hide themselves away from Lott Dod's sight.

"Dooku!" Padmé exclaimed. "What are you doing here?"

"You have had your chance at destroying Darth Maul and his… Legion of Doom," Count Dooku replied as Lott Dod and General Grievous aimed their own blasters back at their opposing party. "While the Young Justice has managed to make their move against them on Ganthel, the loss they have faced over Sarrish is not to go unnoticed. Stand down, your time is over," he said sternly. "The Separatists will be fighting back now. We will take back the Planets Darth Maul and his Shadow Collective have taken from us… and your Planets as well."

"What do we do?" James asked.

"Wait," Sabine said as she looked to Count Dooku as his arm from his side started to move. "Something's up."

"Same with Padmé." Miss Martian whispered, seeing Padmé reaching for a blaster.

Ezra immediately knew what was going on. As he did, he started to think back to his experience with Captain Rex and Kalani when they went to Agamar. He looked up with a light in his eyes.

"That's it!"

Ezra put away his blaster and ran towards Padmé and Count Dooku, using the Force to freeze them in place before they could make their move.

"Ezra!" Padmé exclaimed. "What are you doing?!"

"Release me at once, Boy." Count Dooku ordered.

"Listen to him!" Tol Skorr exclaimed before Louise Lincoln and Deathstroke came out, aiming their weapons at Ezra.

"Not until you listen to me!" Ezra demanded.

"You dare to speak against Master Dooku?" Tol Skorr asked. He took out his lightsaber and slashed at Ezra, only for Sabine to take out the Darksaber and block his attack.

"Don't you dare." Sabine said sternly.

"Let me tell you who I am, Count," Ezra said to Count Dooku. "I am Ezra Bridger, savior of the New Holstice Jedi Monument. If you care for any Jedi who are buried there before you became a Sith, you will listen to me," he said before looking to Padmé. "I don't have any offer to make to you, but I know you're Acting Chancellor right now," he said. "If you want to be a good leader, please listen to what I have to say."

Padmé continued to struggle to get control of her blaster. Eventually, she loosened her grip, getting Ezra to release her and put her blaster away. He looked to Count Dooku, who let go of his lightsaber. He released him as well, getting him to put his curved lightsaber hilt away.

"Very well-said, Ezra." Padmé said.

"Your logic is sound," Count Dooku admitted. "Speak now."

Ezra nodded. "You two are so busy fighting each other, and you've both lost important people… like Sonia," he started out, getting Padmé and Count Dooku to think back to who they had lost. "For years, it's always been war with you. Eye for an eye, the whole Galaxy goes blind to it. At first, you had the ORDER as a common enemy, even for just once," he pointed out. "Now… it's Darth Maul and the Shadow Collective. If you two continue to fight each other, none of you will ever come out on top," he went on. "Padmé, what are you fighting for?" he asked as he turned his attention to Padmé.

"The Republic fights for peace through the Galaxy," Padmé replied. "I want this War to end with peace, justice, security and equality for everyone in the Galaxy."

"You want peace," Ezra repeated before looking to Count Dooku. "Count, what are you fighting for? The Separatists and the Light as a whole."

"Simple," Count Dooku said as his forces stood back, the same with the Republic Forces and the Young Justice. "Freedom… freedom for everyone, and freedom from the tyranny of the Republic."

"Hmm, fighting tyranny," Ezra dwelled. He was making his whole conversation with Count Dooku play out like it did with Kalani, but no one knew that. "Sounds like the Shadow Collective has always been your enemy."

Everyone stood in shock at what Ezra had just said. Padmé and Count Dooku turned to him as he kept a calm head. He knew that they might try to kill him, the Separatists especially, but he knew what he was getting into. He remained where he was, not backing down.

Anakin, Ahsoka, Barriss, Katooni, Serra, Depa and Obi-Wan all arrived, seeing what was going on. Anakin was about to interfere, but M'gann stopped him, shaking her head. He complied and stood with the rest of the Jedi, waiting for what would happen next.

"You're right, Ezra," Padmé finally said, breaking the silence. "This War will be going nowhere if we continue to fight ourselves."

"The real threat has now revealed itself," Count Dooku went on. "It would appear that we now share a more dangerous common enemy. We have ignored the DarkSiders and the Shadow Collective for too long. Perhaps it would be best for us to temporarily halt our feud, and start focusing on the matter of Darth Maul and his Legion of Doom."

"A Galaxy of Senators for future generations and in the past can't possibly do what we're doing right now," Ezra said. "An Army of Clones, Jedi and Battle Droids can't find a middle ground, but right now we can," he added on. "You all hate each other, for all kinds of reasons. But right now, there's someone out there we hate even more. We can either destroy each other and let the Shadow Collective take over, or we can actually do something to stop the Legion. For all I care, when this is over, you can go back to war with each other, but it's time we rise up. Be better than we are right now. Break away, and make a difference. I don't expect you to get along, but until the Shadow Collective is out of the way, be the symbol for all of the Galaxy to follow so they can rise up and make a stand, just as we should."

Padmé Amidala nodded. "Yes," she said before turning back to Count Dooku. "Whatever we do, we do it together from this point on," she said as she held out her hand. "In the name of freedom."

"Freedom from tyranny," Count Dooku said as he shook Padmé's hand. "In the name of the galaxy."

Everyone lowered their weapons. Ahsoka grinned as she, Anakin, Serra, Katooni and Barriss walked back to join the Young Justice while Ezra walked back to Sabine.

"Nice work," Sabine complimented as Sarah, James and Henri smiled at the two. "Can't believe you got them to actually listen to each other."

"Well, I did a similar thing on Agamar," Ezra explained. "I thought Rex, Kanan, Zeb and I told you all about this when we brought back the new Phantom."

"Well, I'm an artist," Sabine replied. "I guess I was just too giddy about painting the Phantom II."

"I have to admit, that was a good speech, Ezra," Ahsoka said. Ezra and Sabine turned to see her with the rest of the Jedi. He looked to Obi-Wan and smiled before turning back to the Apprentice of Anakin Skywalker. "You're right. We're gonna need all the help we can get to take down the Legion."

"That reminds me," Ezra said as he turned to Padmé and Count Dooku. "Sabine and I know where the Legion is going to attack next," he said. "Lothal."

"Lothal?" Padmé asked. "If the Shadow Collective gets the resources from that Planet, they'll be unstoppable."

"They can make the Ruination stronger than it already is," Sabine said. "It's time to start working together. Time to knock the Legion down a peg."

Count Dooku nodded. "Agreed," he said. "Let us gather our forces. Our armies must be prepared to take on the DarkSiders if we are to execute a major strike against them."

Anakin nodded. "We'll get the Troops ready." He said.

"And I will get my Droid Army ready for battle." General Grievous said.

Ahsoka nodded. "We haven't much time." She said sternly.

Over Lothal, the Ruination came out of Hyperspace. Lady Shiva, Komari Vosa, N-K Necrosis and Rook Kast looked out the viewport of the Ship, seeing many of their Mandalorian Fighters fly out and down to the surface.

"The advanced fleet is already approaching Lothal," Rook Kast reported. "Even though this Planet's resources hasn't been claimed by the Republic or the Separatists, we've received word that every Planet is already aware of our presence, and have set up extra measures to repel us should we ever attack."

"They'll clear the way for us," Lady Shiva said as she turned around. "Attacking Lothal to increase the strength of the fleet is one of the things Lord Maul told me to fulfill before falling into his coma," she said. "And now that I have my Shade Crystal back, I will once again be at my full power with the Force."

"The requested items for the recreation of the Shadow Saber have been scarce," C-3PX said as he came over. "The Reverse-Flash is on another errand through time to get the final tool you require."

"When did he leave?" Lady Shiva asked sternly.

"Five minutes ago." C-3PX replied back.

"He'll be back in two," Lady Shiva said before the sound of air whooshing caught her attention. "Right on cue, Thawne."

The Reverse-Flash walked forward and removed his mask as he stopped vibrating. His eyes stopped glowing red and reverted back to their original colors.

"Do you have any idea how hard it is to travel to a point in time where I won't disrupt the time flow?" Eobard asked. "If they've time-traveled before, there are no consequences. When it comes to stuff that have little to no effect, that's harder than it looks."

"I'll keep that in mind," Lady Shiva remarked. "Did you get it?"

"It wasn't a pretty corpse to get it from, but I got it," Thawne said as he revealed a Double-Bladed Lightsaber Hilt with a pointed disc around it. "Hard to find it given the vivid description you gave me, but I found what you were looking for."

"This was the weapon of one of the Dark Side warriors Gemini brought back from the dead," Lady Shiva said. She grabbed the hilt and activated it, letting two red blades on each side shine. She grinned and spun it around, causing the blades to spin around as well. "I'll need this for my new weapon," she said before deactivating the Double-Bladed Spinning Lightsaber. "Now, get the Legion ready for assault," she ordered before turning around. "I will join you once I am ready."

Back on Coruscant, Jedi Master Tera Sinube was busy overseeing several Jedi Padawans in their training. One of them was Caleb Dume, slashing training remotes down with his lightsaber.

Depa Billaba and Ezra watched Caleb train from the balcony. The future Padawan of Kanan Jarrus could only let out a smile as he watched Caleb train hard. Depa smiled as well before Caleb looked up. Ezra quickly hid himself away to prevent himself from being seen. Master Billaba just sent a respectful nod to Caleb before he resumed training.

The two soon left.

"Thank you for allowing me to see Caleb," Ezra said to Depa Billaba. "To see him train… that's a wish come true."

"I'm just confused, to be honest, Ezra," Depa said. "You could have seen any of the Padawans or Initiates being trained, yet you chose to see Caleb Dume specifically," she pointed out. "Why?"

"He reminds me of the Jedi Master I used to have," Ezra explained. "His name was Kanan. I was able to go back to get his lightsaber before it was sold on the market. He told me to never forget him."

"I know the feeling," Depa said. "When Master Yaddle passed away, I found it difficult to move on. I was the only female on the Council after she died. Adi and Shaak wouldn't join for another couple years. Siri Tachi was the only one I could relate to."

"Looks like we have something in common," Ezra mused. "Since Caleb is your Padawan now, I just want to ask that you train him the way you would want to be trained. No more, no less."

"So he can become your Master one day?" Depa asked.

Ezra looked to Depa with surprise. "How did you know?" He asked.

"It's the way you looked at Caleb," Depa replied. "The lightsaber confirmed my suspicions," she added on. "Don't worry. I'll keep this a secret, because when I die, I'll know that my Padawan will become a great Jedi with a boy who is proud to call him his Master."

Ezra smiled. "Thank you," he said before he and Master Depa Billaba noticed Ahsoka, Serra, Miss Martian, Anakin, Katooni and Barriss waiting for them. "Got enough strength for this fight?" He asked.

"To make a major strike against the Legion of Doom for all of the Galaxy?" Depa asked. "You know it."

"Good to know you're both set," Ahsoka said. "No one has waged a battle on Lothal before. Since Ezra and Sabine are most familiar with Lothal, they'll be some of our leaders for this battle."

"Right," Ezra acknowledged. "Let's get in the air."

Sabine walked in. "The fleet's ready," she reported. "Everything's almost set. Just need to check on the weapons when we get back to the Equinox."

"And that's why you're forever the weapons specialist." Ezra mused.

"Yeah," Sabine said before looking to Ahsoka and Barriss. "Speaking of the Equinox, there's something there I want to share with you all when we get there."

"What sort of something?" Anakin asked.

"You'll see when we get there." Sabine said with a smirk.

Everyone walked outside of the Jedi Temple and onto the Landing Platform. When they got out, the found the rest of the Young Justice waiting for them. Next to them was the Bioship, as well as the Mandalorian Fighter Ezra and Sabine stole. It was now repainted in sleek gold with blue and green strokes on the sides.

"Nice work, Sabine," Katooni complimented. "You can hardly tell it even belonged to the Shadow Collective now."

"I even gave it a name," Sabine said as she looked to Ezra. "I give you the Eternal Saber."

"My own Starfighter…" Ezra said as he looked to the Eternal Saber. "Sabine… I don't know what to say."

"Well, consider it a birthday present," Sabine said. "A little something for the last couple times we missed it… and a gift for helping to form this Alliance."

"Nice," Robin said. "Way to feel the aster."

"Time to get going," Paula said. "Luke Ahsoka said, we don't have much time."

Ezra and Sabine both got into the Eternal Saber. Ahsoka, Anakin, Serra, Katooni, Barriss and Jedi master Depa Billaba got into their Jedi Starfighters while the rest of the Young Justice got into the Bioship. They immediately took off into space towards the Equinox.

Above Coruscant, three Separatist Dreadnaught Ships were gathered together, being led by Count Dooku, General Grievous and Tol Skorr. Admiral Dodonna, Admiral Yularen and Admiral Tarkin manned the other three Republic Star Cruisers. Inside of the Resolute, Captain Fordo and the Bad Batch were getting ready for battle as Master Elius Echo and Kira Nyon walked to their Jedi Starfighters. Inside of the Negotiator, Obi-Wan stood with Commander Cody and the 212th Clone Battalion.

Inside of the Equinox, Captain Rex, Fives and Echo stood with several Clones of the 501st Legion. The Bioship, the Eternal Saber and the Jedi Starfighters soon landed inside, and the Young Justice, Anakin, Depa Billaba, Ezra and Sabine came out, walking towards their army.

"Are we ready?" Ahsoka asked.

"Our Troops are ready for battle." Captain Rex confirmed.

"Once we get to Lothal, we're going to have three teams," Anakin said. "One will remain in the Cruisers, all six, to take on the Ruination. Admirals Yularen, Dodonna and Tarkin will lead."

"A second team will include the Fighters to draw the fire of the Fusion Cannons away from the Ground Team," Serra added on. "Master Echo and Kira will be in charge of leading the Fighters, with help from Droid Fighters too."

"The last team will be the ground team, led by me, the Young Justice, Anakin, Master Billaba, but most importantly, Ezra and Sabine," Ahsoka finished up. "We don't know if the ore is all the Legion is after, so we have to be careful."

"We know more about Lothal than anyone else," Ezra added on. "We'll be the ones to guide you through, and find good vantage points to use in our attack against the Shadow Collective."

"Once we get in, there's no turning back," Sabine said. "So, get ready. This battle will be intense."

"Who's to say we're backing down?" Kid Flash quipped.

Ahsoka grinned. "Good," she said. "Honor Salima will help Colonel Gascon coordinate the space and ground battles. We leave in five. Suit up."

"And may the Force be with you." Ezra added on.

Everyone nodded and went to get ready. Before Ahsoka, Barriss, Katooni and Saw could get ready, Sabine stopped them.

"What is it, Sabine?" Ahsoka asked.

"This might or might not be the last time we fight together," Sabine explained. "So I made everyone something."

"Like what?" Katooni asked.

"Follow me and find out." Sabine said.

Everyone followed Sabine into one of the rooms of the Equinox. Inside were several cases with mannequins, each donned with the apparel of every Young Justice member.

"What's all this?" Ezra asked.

"I decided to go all out," Sabine said. She walked towards one of the cases, revealing a mannequin of Ahsoka with her same new suit, only with one difference, being the new golden vest. "Since you're a Jedi Knight now, Ahsoka, I figured you should get the works," she explained. "This still contains all the features of your Jedi Apparel, but I added in a light, comfortable Durasteel gold alloy," she went on. "Able to withstand strong attacks, and can even stand against the blow of ten lightsabers."

"Thanks." Ahsoka said before she went to try on the new vest.

"Barriss, I found your old robes, and your helmet too, and I made some adjustments," Sabine said to Barriss as she showed her a blue version of her robe with an open Clone Trooper Phase II Helmet, decorated in silver with tan lining. "Still allows for you to use your wings, and it sheds away all of what was known as Black Widow. Now, you're your own person."

"I like the new suit already," Barriss said. "Thank you, Sabine."

"Anytime," Sabine said before looking to Saw. "Here's something I cooked up. Just a protective armor plate with some extra holsters, and a Cortosis Blade," she explained. "Also equipped with enough munitions for a week of battles."

"This is greatly appreciated." Saw said as he started to further inspect the new silver armor Sabine made for him.

"And finally, the new Padawan," Sabine said before opening a case for Katooni. On the mannequin was a new set of robes. It had short leggings that reached to the knees, elbow-length fingerless gloves, a grey top and black boots. "Comes with special arm bands that have built-in Comms."

Katooni smiled and hugged Sabine. "Thank You!" she said happily. "Anyone ever tell you what a great friend you are?"

"Coming from you, that means a ton," Sabine said. "I have stuff ready for everyone else, but I just thought it best to show what I have to all you first." She told everyone.

"Thank you again," Ahsoka said. "Now, let's get this show on the road."

Soon, everyone was ready for battle. Ahsoka came out, donning her new golden vest. Barriss came out in her new robe and helmet with Saw beside her, wearing the special armor Sabine made for him. Finally, Katooni came out, wearing the new robes that Sabine had prepared for her.

"Nice," Lux said to Ahsoka. "You clean up good."

"Thanks," Ahsoka said as she gave Lux a peck on the cheek. "Are we all set?"

"Yeah, we're ready," Ezra said. "The Separatists are too."

"Good," Ahsoka said before she pressed her comlink. "Admiral, give the word," she ordered. "Make the jump to Lightspeed! We're off to Lothal!"

"Acknowledged, General," Admiral Dodonna said before turning to the Bridge. "To Lothal!"

"Acknowledged." Count Dooku said from his ship.

"Affirmative!" General Grievous called out.

"Make the jump!" Tol Skorr ordered his crew.

"Jumping to Lightspeed!" Admiral Yularen replied.

"On to Lothal!" Admiral Tarkin ordered.

"May the Force be with us." Ezra said.

Soon, the Republic and Separatist Ships made the Jump into Hyperspace. The allies saluted each other from each of their ships as they now headed to Lothal to fight the Shadow Collective and the Legion of Doom."

Over Lothal, Lady Shiva sat in her quarters. Situated in a meditative position, she lifted up the necessary metals she needed into the air. She started to take apart her lightsabers, letting her main crystal float in front of her. Imaging the hilt of the Shadow Saber in her mind, the pieces she had gathered started to fuse together. Within a matter of minutes, a perfect recreation of the Shadow Saber hilt appeared before her. She grinned and held out her hand, taking hold of her new weapon. She got up and activated her silver blade while holding a new hilt in her left hand was a scabbard. She put her Shadow Saber into it before crossing both of her weapons in front of her. She spun her new weapons around, cutting down one of her many training dummies. Satisfied, she deactivated her blade and sheathed her hilt and scabbard onto her belt.

"The time has come, Lady Shiva," Rook Kast said as Lady Shiva walked onto the Bridge, where the Legion of Doom was waiting for her to arrive. "What are your orders?"

"Ready the army," Lady Shiva ordered. "We strike now."

Down on the surface, several Mandalorian Fighters flew and fired at the civilians in the streets. While some of them scattered, others took out blasters and fired back.

"The Collective is here!" One of the people of Lothal called out, causing several other civilians to come out with blasters.

"Show no fear!" An Ithorian yelled as he ran with several other Lothal citizens armed with blasters.

More Death Watch Fighters flew down, letting out Super Commando Troopers. Several citizens fired at them while their fired back.

"I am picking up resistance from the surface below." Ma'alefa'ak reported as he and the rest of the Legion walked with Lady Shiva to the Fighters.

"Bring the Ruination down to take care of them," Lady Shiva ordered. "This Planet will fall to the DarkSiders!"

"Wait," Komari Vosa said as she felt her head. "I sense something…" she said before looking back to Lady Shiva. "We have company!"

At that moment, the Equinox, the Resolute and the Negotiator came out of Hyperspace. From within the Republic Fleet, the Clone Army, the Justice League and the Young Justice prepared to begin their attack.

"The Republic," Lady Shiva said. "Nothing to…" she started out before sensing something else. "What in the name of the Sith?!"

The Separatist Fleet came out of Hyperspace. Each Dreadnaught readied its cannons as the Republic Fleet did the same, all aiming at the Ruination.

"They're working together?!" Bina exclaimed. She chuckled. "How quaint."

"I sense Count Dooku aboard," Komari Vosa said. "My former Master…"

"Komari…" Count Dooku said from his Dreadnaught.

Unknown to everyone on the Ruination, Sabine had painted small versions of her symbol everywhere in the Ship. One of the Death Watch Devils was making his way to his Fighter before he noticed several of the symbols on the walls.

"Let's go!" Ahsoka called out.

"Everyone, to your stations!" Ezra yelled.

"Let's light 'em up!" Sabine said, putting her helmet on. As soon as she did, she pressed her gauntlets.

All across the Ruination, explosions started to go off. Everyone screamed as they were thrown by the blasts. Even more massive explosions were seen from the Hangar Bay of the massive Ship.

"All Fighters…" General Grievous started out as the Droid Fighters powered up.

"Launch!" Admiral Yularen yelled.

"Let's go!" Ahsoka called out.

Soon, Jedi Starfighters, ARC Fighters, Gunships, Y-Wings, Vulture Droids, Droid Bombers, the Bioship and the Eternal Saber flew out towards Lothal. In response, Mandalorian Fighters flew out from the Ruination towards the Republic and Separatist Fighters.

The Battle for Lothal had officially begun. Blue, red and purple bolts fired back and forth. The Republic and Separatist Cruisers started to fire on the Ruination afterwards as Droid Bombers flew by and started to bomb the Ruination, but its shields held strong against the attacks.

"We weren't prepared for something like this," Lady Shiva muttered. "Necrosis, get us down to the surface!" She called out. "All Fighters, cover the Byakko!" She ordered as the Legion of Doom boarded the Byakko.

Ahsoka flew towards several Death Watch Devil Fighters, firing at them rapidly. Oddball and several Droid Fighters flew by and took down several more before Ezra and Sabine flew over in the Eternal Saber, launching torpedoes at the unsuspecting Death Watch Forces.

"We've got you covered." Ezra said over the Comms.

"Wait," Master Elius Echo said as he flew through some more Death Watch Devil Fighters. "There are more Ships taking off towards the surface."

Ahsoka narrowed her eyes at the Ship. "That's the Byakko!" She exclaimed. "Shiva and the Legion are trying to get down there!"

"I'm trying to make an opening, but the Death Watch isn't letting up!" Tol Skorr reported from his Fighter.

"Remember, we need an opening to the surface," Anakin said. "Something to get Death Watch to stop intercepting us."

"Leave that to me," Kira said. "R16, let's show these guys what we've been working on."

Kira Nyon's Astromech Droid, R16-S3, beeped and started to spin his head around.

"Gold Squadron, go with her!" Anakin ordered.

"Bombers, cover that Jedi!" Tol Skorr ordered.

"Admiral, you know what to do!" Ahsoka called out.

"Yes, General Tano," Admiral Dodonna said. "All Ships, fire heavy batteries on the Ruination!"

"All batteries, fire!" Lott Dod ordered.

Meanwhile, Count Dooku flew into the fray with Deathstroke and Louise Lincoln in their own Fighters. General Grievous followed after them in the Soulless One.

"I've finally found someone I hate more than the Cryoclones on Earth, and it's the Legion," Louise mused. "At least we can get that traitor, OceanMaster. Right, Slade?"

"Agreed," Deathstroke replied before flying towards some Mandalorian Fighters. "Nyon, let's make that opening!"

"On it, Slade." Kira Nyon said before pulling up on her controls.

Kira Nyon spun around her Jedi Starfighter, firing down at several of the Death Watch Devil Fighters. At least a dozen of them fell and exploded before her reinforcements fired down on more of the enemy fighters.

"Chill out!" Louise Lincoln called out, firing her icicles down onto more of the Death Watch Devil Fighters, causing each of them to freeze and shatter immediately.

Miss Martian flew the Bioship after the Byakko, but more Death Watch Devil Fighters flew in and fired back at them.

"Hang on!" Miss Martian called out as she held her arms out to the sides.

The blaster bolts stopped in midair. The Young Justice looked out with wonder before Miss Martian sent them back at the Fighters who shot them.

"Can we get a better opening?" Ezra asked. "No offense, everyone."

At that moment, another Fighter came out of Hyperspace. Everyone turned their attention to it, seeing that it was a weaponized Separatist Shuttle. It continued to fire on the Shadow Collective forces before making the opening that Ezra, Sabine, Anakin, Depa, and the 501st Legion needed.

"Who is that?" Sabine asked.

"I heard you needed help," a familiar voice said over the Comms. "Jade and Red Arrow told me you needed the ex for the upcoming wedding, Paula." He added on.

"Lawrence?" Paula asked with surprise.

"Is that Sportsmaster?" Admiral Tarkin asked.

"We're an alliance now," Sportsmaster said. "I wanna have a word with you, Tarkin, but I'll save it for when the time is right."

"Young Justice, you now have your opening!" Kira called out. "Get down there, and may the Force be with you."

"Thanks, Skorr!" Anakin called out. "Let's go get them!"

"Follow me!" Ezra called out.

The Bioship, Anakin, Ahsoka, Serra and Depa's Jedi Starfighters, and the Republic Gunships flew after Ezra and Sabine in the Eternal Saber. As they entered the lower atmosphere of Lothal, more Death Watch Fighters flew towards them.

"We've got incoming on our twenty!" Depa called out.

"Allow me." Barriss said. She pressed the side of her head, activating her new helmet before she leapt out of the Bioship, flying towards the Death Watch Fighters. She activated her lightsabers and slashed at each of them, causing the Death Watch Devils inside to jump out. She eventually took control of one, throwing the pilot out, and fired at the rest.

"Anyone see the Byakko?" Depa asked. "R7 isn't picking it up on any of the scanners."

"I've got something," Anakin said as R2-D2 started to chirp. "An energy reading coming from the mountains up ahead."

"The mountains?" Sabine asked. She looked to Ezra. "Ezra, that's close to where—"

"Where Capital City is," Ezra finished up with a look of surprise on his face. "Everyone, listen! If the Legion is there, then they're dangerously close to the most populated area of the Planet," he told everyone. "If they even so much as set off a bomb, the City's done for!"

"Understood," Superboy said as he walked into the back of the Bioship, where Wolf and the Supercycle were. He placed his hand to the side of his head. "Rex, you and the 501st clear the City!" He ordered. "We'll take care of the Legion!"

"Right, Brother!" Captain Rex said before he, Fives and Echo put on their helmets. "Time to show Lady Shiva what a real Legion is capable of."

"I'm right behind you!" Obi-Wan called out as he flew down in his Jedi Starfighter. Four Gunships followed after him. "Cody, get ready!" He ordered.

"Yes, Sir!" Commander Cody called out. "Boil, let's go!"

"You heard him!" Boil called out to the rest of the 212th Battalion. "Move it!"

On the ground, several citizens of Capital City continued to fire on the Death Watch Devil forces. As more continued to come, a Droid Bomber and a Y-Wing flew over, taking them out. The people of Lothal cheered for the United Republic and Separatist forces as they took down more of the Shadow Collective army.

Saw. Jaybo and Lux landed as the Bioship flew over, dropping them off, before they started firing at more of the Death Watch Army. Lux took out his blaster lightsaber and slashed away at some Death Watch Devils while Saw tossed a grenade, taking more of them out. Jaybo took out a Vibro-Blade and stabbed another Death Watch Devil in the chest before firing down on the rest.

All of a sudden, the Byakko de-cloaked and fired at one of the Gunships as it shot down some Mandalorian Tanks. It burst into flames before crashing into the City. Everyone ran for cover as parts of it scattered across the ground. However, Obi-Wan, Commander Cody and the 212th Battalion came out, with Obi-Wan in his Jedi Cycle. They started to lead the Lothal Citizens against the Shadow Collective, causing Lady Shiva inside of the Byakko to slam her hand against the controls angrily.

"Looks like this alliance is creating more problems for us than we expected," Felix Faust mused. "But they won't stop us from getting that Prism."

"Deploy the Terror Troopers," Lady Shiva ordered. "They'll slaughter this alliance while we get what we came here for."

"Right," C-3PX said. He pressed the controls for the cargo bay door, but nothing happened. "Come on, you piece of junk!" He muttered.

"What are you waiting for?" Komari Vosa asked.

"Do it!" Lady Shiva yelled.

"It's been sealed from the outside!" C-3PX yelled. "I can't open it!"

"Who sealed it?" General Zod asked.

All of a sudden, several laser blasts hit the window. Everyone shielded their eyes before Superboy appeared, floating in front of the Byakko with two turrets twisted and aimed at everyone.

"General," Connor said. "Care to step outside?"

General Zod snarled before flying at superbly. Connor pulled his fist back and slammed away at General Zod as he flew at him. The two flew into the air, engaging in a fist fight with each other the Bioship, the Eternal Saber and the Jedi Starfighters of Ahsoka, Anakin, Serra and Depa Billaba landed, with each person inside of the Ships getting out immediately, arming themselves with their respective weapons.

Lady Shiva flipped out of the Byakko, with the rest of the Legion getting out behind her as well. They all powered up as Lady Shiva, Komari Vosa and N-K Necrosis led the Legion towards the Republic Forces.

"Well, well, well, Ezra Bridger and Sabine Wren," Lady Shiva said. "Looks like you have a habit of running into danger all the time. Good thing I get a kick out of it."

"Lothal isn't for you, Shiva," Ezra said. "Not you, not Maul, not any tyrant who's ever existed."

"What is there to justify that the Republic should get this Planet?" Lady Shiva quibbled. "Why should the Separatists? They have been causing loss for everyone across the Galaxy. Not only do we want to show them what loss feels like, but we are the new generation."

"The time of the Republic and the Separatists have passed," N-K Necrosis spat. "Your vision is outdated. It is time for a new vision to arise, on with a greater scope that can sway all under a single rule."

"So that's it?" Ahsoka asked. "Let the past die? Kill it if necessary?"

"Everyone will burn down for defying the Dark Side of the Force," Komari Vosa said. "Once you're out of the way, everyone will turn to the Shadow Collective."

"And the Legion of Doom too," Malcolm Merlyn added on, causing the three Dark Side Warriors to turn to him. "Were you getting to that, or did you actually for—?"

"I need you to stop talking." Lady Shiva said as calmly as she could.

Depa Billaba chuckled. "Need a moment?" she asked, causing Ahsoka, Ezra and Robin to grin at her. "Hey. My first actual quip. Glad Master Windu wasn't here to see that."

"Long story short… move." Lady Shiva ordered.

"Not going to happen," Ezra spat. He readied his lightsabers and stepped forward. "New Holstice, Shili, the Jedi Temple, Tython. We didn't survive all those just so the Galaxy could be ruled by Darkness," he started out. "If you want Lothal, if you want everyone to bow down to you, you're going to have to get. Through. Us."

"And even if you do, you're not going to win." Sabine added on.

"We will not back down. We will keep fighting," Ahsoka went on. "So get the hell off this Planet!" she yelled before she activated her lightsaber and the Xiphon.

Ezra activated his and Kanan's lightsabers while Sabine powered up the Darksaber. Anakin, Depa, and Serra all activated their own lightsabers as well. Miss Martian activated her crossguard lightsaber and her personal lightsaber while the rest of the Young Justice got their weapons ready.

"Take them!" Lady Shiva ordered as she activated her new Shadow Saber.

Komari Vosa activated her twin lightsabers as she stared down Barriss and Katooni, who also activated their lightsabers as well. N-K Necrosis chuckled and activated his red Double-Bladed Lightsaber, spinning it around before Malcolm Merlyn shot several smoke arrows towards the Young Justice.

Robin ran forward and tossed several smoke bombs towards the Legion, both sides creating smokescreens for each other. Ahsoka and Ezra ran forward afterwards, slashing down at Lady Shiva. The Shade of the DarkSiders held up her new Shadow Saber and Scabbard, blocking their attacks before Sabine shot at her. Harley tried to attack, but Robin ran and tackled her to the ground as they came out from the smoke.

Aqualad formed swords from his Water-Bearers and charged towards OceanMaster, slashing him out into the open. OceanMaster held up his trident to block the attack before Kaldur'ahm spun around and slashed him away. OceanMaster growled and struck at Aqualad. Aqualad slashed back at the same time, the two locking their weapons with each other.

Sabine continued to shoot at the rest of the Legion before Ma'alefa'ak charged at her. She took out her helmet and tossed it at him, causing him to stumble back. Sabine grinned and drilled towards Ma'alefa'ak, shooting at him some more before holding her head out, allowing her helmet to fit itself right onto her head. She took out the Darksaber and locked blades with him for a while before Miss Martian flew in, slashing at her evil Uncle with her crossguard lightsaber. The two pressed against Ma'alefa'ak before Sabine noticed some footsteps. She turned around and slashed right at N-K Necrosis, who pressed his twin red blades onto her Darksaber.

"That blade doesn't belong to you, Mandalorian!" N-K Necrosis spat.

"You're right," Sabine spat as she pushed N-K Necrosis back. "It belongs in the hand of the Duchess!" she exclaimed before crouching down to send a rocket from her jetpack towards N-K Necrosis, sending him back into Depa, who slashed at him as he was sent flying.

Superboy and General Zod continued to battle it out in the air. As they flew and fired at each other, Artemis and Malcolm Merlyn ran along the grass plains, shooting arrows at each other. The two ran at one another, continuing to fire arrows at each other before slamming their bows together. The two broke off and continued to swing their bows, either engaging in a lock or sending punches at each other. Artemis wrapped her legs around Merlyn's neck, sending him to the ground before taking out her bowcaster and shooting at him. Merlyn backflipped away and sent more arrows at Artemis, but she shot more arrows to counter his own. The two soon struck at each other with their bows once again. As they were fighting, the two took out arrows and used them as secondary weapons before locking their weapons together.

"Nice moves, Artemis," Merlyn said as he and Artemis circled one another. "Ollie see you with these yet?"

"He's seen plenty," Artemis remarked. "Got a better hand yet?"

"Keep that out of this!" Merlyn spat before he and Artemis broke off with each other.

Artemis and Merlyn both spun around, taking out crossbows before facing each other again. Both of them fired, but Artemis tilted her head to the side, getting Malcolm's arrow to miss her while the shot from her bowcaster hit Merlyn, sending him back.

Kid Flash and the Reverse-Flash ran through the plains of Lothal. All around them, everything seemed to stop, frozen in time. Wally sent an uppercut towards Thawne before the two raced again. When they stopped, Eobard was kicking Wallace towards the Byakko. However, he flipped off of it and zoomed back at the Reverse-Flash, sending a lightning punch towards his chest. Thawne fell back, but regained himself quickly, causing the two Speedsters to race through again. This time, they made their way towards the city.

As Kid Flash and the Reverse-Flash raced through Capital City, Clone Troopers and Battle Droids fired at the Death Watch Devils. Obi-Wan slashed through several of the evil Mandalorians before Force-Pushing three more towards a Droid Tank. As they were sent there, the Droid Tank and a Republic Walker fired at them. Their blasts stopped in midair once Kid Flash and the Reverse-Flash raced through. The two continued to punch away at each other before Wally West leapt back. He ran at Thawne again, preparing to send forth a screw kick. Eobard grinned and caught Kid Flash in midair.

"That all you got, Wally?" The Reverse-Flash asked. "Disappointing!" He yelled, throwing him towards Obi-Wan, who had his lightsaber held mid-swing after using a Soresu slash on a Death Watch Devil Trooper.

"Not just yet!" Kid Flash exclaimed. He raced back to the Reverse-Flash, grabbing him and throwing them both into the blade. At the last minute, Wally spun Eobard Thawne around, causing his chest to hit the blade.

Time resumed, and the Reverse-Flash was sent to the ground, rolling towards a Death Watch Devil. Obi-Wan held his stance before seeing what had happened.

The Reverse-Flash tried to get back up, but Lux ran in, stunning him with his hybrid weapon before Saw and Jaybo pinned him to the ground. Obi-Wan smiled and deactivated his lightsaber momentarily.

"It happened again, didn't it?" Obi-Wan asked. "I never get to see what happens when time stops." He mused as Kid Flash walked over.

"Yeah, sorry," Kid Flash said. "Nice swing though," he complimented, getting a grin from Obi-Wan. He handed him some cuffs and a syringe. "Speed-dampening restraints and a power-dampening drug from Earth," he explained. "Make sure he gets both of these."

"Thank you," Obi-Wan said as he took the cuffs and the syringe. "You'd better get back to the others. I'll clean up here."

"Good luck." Kid Flash said before he raced away.

"We've got them," Saw said as he picked up the Reverse-Flash while Jaybo injected Thawne with the drug. "Call for a Gunship."

"We'll take him in." Jaybo added on.

Meanwhile, Rocket flew through the air over Capital City, firing at Kinetica as the Churney Sisters fired at her. She formed several energy shields to block their attacks before taking out her sword and flying right at Bina and Apurna.

"You can't run forever, Rocket!" Kinetica called out.

"Rockets fly forever," Raquel spat. "Your reign over the Galaxy? Not so much."

Kinetica growled and sent an energy blast right at Rocket. However, she spun around and kicked them all away before flying back at Kinetica.

"Now!" Raquel called out.

From the ground, Saw, Lux and Jaybo shot at Kinetica, causing her to fly off-course, before Barriss flew and fired at her. As she was sent tumbling away, Rocket flew and slashed at her, causing her to crash to the ground.

Back in space, Elius Echo and Kira Nyon continued to lead the Republic and Separatist Fighters towards the Ruination. More Mandalorian Fighters flew out and countered the squadrons, but Icon and Martian Manhunter flew, taking them down, before Wonder Woman flew over, carrying Black Canary and Aquaman inside of her stealth fighter.

"We'll clear a path!" Deathstroke called out. "Grievous, take the League and the Jedi to occupy anyone preparing to take us down in the Hangar Bay."

"Get ready!" General Grievous called out.

"Form up on Grievous!" Elius Echo ordered. "We need to lower the shields of the Ruination!"

"Hang on, General Echo!" Oddball said. "I'm reading massive energy readings from that Ship!"

"They're charging up the Fusion Cannons!" Admiral Dodonna exclaimed. "All aircraft, get clear!"

"Fire the Fusion Cannons!" Rook Kast ordered.

The Fusion Cannons charged up and fired at the Republic and Separatist forces. As ordered, the all scattered, but six Y-Wings and Vulture Droids were caught in the blast.

"We lost some." Kira reported.

"Lady Shiva, the Republic and Separatists are closing in," Rook Kast reported. "Permission to send in the Troopers?"

Lady Shiva locked blades with Ezra for a minute before getting kicked away by Ahsoka. She backflipped away from a twin Shien attack by the two before pressing the comlink on the side of her head. "Permission granted." She replied before tossing her scabbard forward.

Ezra performed a barrel roll, avoiding the scabbard, before Ahsoka deflected it to the side. However, they suddenly noticed two people fighting Death Watch Devils nearby. Two certain people that caused Ezra to gasp.

Sabine continued to shoot down Death Watch Devils herself before seeing where the scabbard was headed. Upon seeing who Ezra and Ahsoka were looking at, she gasped as well.

Two Lothal Citizens, a couple that looked like they were in their early lay thirties, were firing at the Death Watch Devils. Unknown to them, the scabbard flew in their direction, splitting apart and forming bladed shurikens.

"No!" Ezra called out. He kicked Lady Shiva away before running to the flying scabbard.

"Mira, look out!" The man known as Ephraim Bridger exclaimed.

The bladed shurikens almost hit the future parents of Ezra Bridger, but Ezra leapt in and slashed them away, causing them to fly back to Lady Shiva.

"Thank you." Mira said.

Ezra looked to his parents with amazement. In his time, his parents were dead. He never had that much time to physically see them, but this opportunity was now standing right in front of him.

"You're welcome," Ezra said. "I'm glad I could help."

Sabine sent some shots towards Lady Shiva, sending her back, before walking towards Ahsoka.

"What's wrong with Ezra?" Ahsoka asked.

"Those guys…" Sabine started out. "They're Ezra's parents… dead in our time."

"His parents?" Ahsoka asked.

"I know you want Ezra to be focused, but these are his mother and father," Sabine said. "Please… give him a chance to be with them."

Lady Shiva got back up. Upon hearing what Sabine said, she grinned and made her way towards the reunited Bridger Family.

"Get them out of here!" Ahsoka called out upon seeing Lady Shiva. "Go!"

Ezra turned around and nodded. He turned back to his parents afterward. "Let's go!" He called out, activating his lightsabers again as he helped them get away from the battle.

"Not so fast!" Lady Shiva called out.

Ezra aimed his blue blade at Lady Shiva. "You'll regret killing these two," he said. "So back down!"

Lady Shiva chuckled. "I don't think so." She quipped. With that, she placed her Shadow Saber into her left hand before taking out the Seventh Sister's Lightsaber. Ezra gasped as she activated the two red blades and mockingly aimed her lightsabers back at him the way he was doing so with his swords.

Depa and Anakin slashed away several Death Watch Devils before they saw what was happening.

"Hang on, Ezra!" Anakin called out as he and Master Billaba ran to help Ezra.

All of a sudden, a Mandalorian Dropship arrived. Immediately, several Dark Jedi, only with masks on their faces made to resemble Temple Guards, but with a red color to replace the yellow, appeared. They activated their lightsabers and charged towards Anakin and Depa.

"Really?! Dark Jedi?!" Serra complained as she locked blades with one of the new Troopers.

"Again?!" Katooni exclaimed before slashing at two more. "Aren't these guys last year?!"

"These are no ordinary DarkSiders," Komari Vosa said. "These Dark Jedi are now our Shadow Troopers, capable of fighting Jedi and fake Sith alike."

Lady Shiva chuckled before charging at Ezra, striking down with Vaapad using both of her lightsabers. Ezra placed his green lightsaber in a reverse-grip, blocking an attack from the Shadow Saber before using Ataru to block an attack from the red Double-Bladed Spinning Lightsaber. The two held their blades against each other for a while before Sabine suddenly shot at Lady Shiva, forcing her to break off and spin around her red blades to block the attack.

"Sabine!" Ezra exclaimed.

"Couldn't let you have all the fun," Sabine quipped. "How the Hell did she get an Inquisitor Lightsaber?"

"My guess? The Reverse-Flash," Ezra said. "You wanna take on a Sith? Now's your chance."

"What fun." Lady Shiva quipped, saluting Ezra and Sabine. Ezra and Sabine saluted back with their own lightsabers before the three charged at each other.

Ahsoka smiled before sensing Komari Vosa. She turned and held her blades up, blocking one of her lightsabers. Vosa was about to stab her with her second blade, but Katooni ran in, slashing down several Death Watch Devils with her Shii-Cho before parrying Komari Vosa away.

"Nice hit!" Ahsoka complimented.

"Thanks, I've been working on it." Katooni replied.

Serra slashed away several Shadow Troopers with both of her Double-Bladed Lightsabers while Miss Martian clashed with Ma'alefa'ak, the two using their respective blades to fend off against one another. At the same time, Barriss flew through the air, still in her stolen Mandalorian Fighter, taking down more Death Watch Devil Fighters.

Anakin spun in the air and slammed his lightsaber down onto N-K Necrosis, who slashed back at him aggressively. However, Depa Billaba slashed back at him as well, both Skywalker and Billaba teaming up and putting themselves in Ataru Ready positions.

"Subvolo!" Zatanna incanted, sending forth several magical energy bolts towards Felix Faust.

Felix Faust flew through the air, dodging as many blasts as he could. "Manifestak!" he incanted, sending forth several blue flaming spells at Zatanna.

Zatanna took out her sword, deflecting one blast before cartwheeling to the side and deflecting another. She successfully deflected three more before catching another blast in her hand.

"No way…" Felix Faust said.

"Prepare to be astounded." Zatanna said right before she sent the blast back at Felix Faust, knocking him out of the sky and sending him flying into OceanMaster.

Aqualad noticed Felix Faust falling and formed hooks from his Water-Bearers. He grabbed OceanMaster and tossed him into the air, where he and Faust collided with one another.

Robin took out his bola sticks and deflected throwing knives from Harley Quinn. She continued to throw them as he charged at her before slamming at him with her hammer. However, he spun around, knocking away one hammer slam before punching away another. Harley snarled and slammed at him from above, but he blocked the hammer strike from above before grabbing the hammer. Harley Quinn gasped before he tossed her over his head towards Superboy and General Zod.

Superboy and General Zod continued to fight each other in the skies before the two used laser vision on one another. The beams collided in midair, and Zod flew right at Connor. However, the Boy of Steel slapped his hands together in front of him, creating a sonic wave that knocked General Zod to the ground. Superboy flew down after him and sent a punch to his chest, knocking him out.

Kid Flash raced by from Capital City and knocked down several Shadow Troopers. He turned to see more before running towards them, disarming them of their lightsabers. He suddenly saw more heading towards the City before pressing the comlink on the side of his head.

"Obi-Wan, keep your forces at the City!" Wally ordered. "Dark Jedi are heading your way!"

"Understood," Obi-Wan replied before switching to another frequency. "Dooku, Grievous! We need MagnaGuards, Blade Runners and Saber Strikers down here now!"

"I will send them down now, Obi-Wan," Count Dooku said. "May the Force be with you."

All of a sudden, the Fusion Cannons fired again, this time towards the Flagship Count Dooku was on. He narrowed his eyes at the blast and unleashed a torrent of Sith Lightning, slowing the blast down a little.

"Master!" Tol Skorr called out. He pressed his comlink. "Grievous, take control!" he ordered. "I must help Count Dooku!"

"Do it!" Elius Echo called out. "Let's get those shields down!"

"Skorr, I'm with you!" Kira called out. "Let's go!"

"Fire Proton Torpedoes!" General Grievous ordered the Separatist Flagships.

Several Proton Torpedoes were fired at the shields of the Ruination's Hangar Bay doors. Soon, General Grievous, Elius Echo and the Justice League Representatives landed inside. Black Canary let out her Canary Cry on some Death Watch Devils before Wonder Woman and Aquaman slashed away several Shadow Troopers.

Martian Manhunter used his Martian Vision against some of the heavy artillery while Icon blasted away more Death Watch Devils. Elius Echo took out his lightsaber and started to deflect some of the blasts coming from more Death Watch Devils before locking blades with a Shadow Trooper. He used both blades locked to bisect another Shadow Trooper before disarming the Shadow Trooper of his blade, using both to dual-wield against more of the Shadow Collective Army.

Deathstroke took out his swords and slashed at several Death Watch Devils while Louise Lincoln formed a blade of ice. She started to cut down several Shadow Troopers before Sportsmaster used his wrecking ball to slam away more Death Watch Devils.

General Grievous stood ready for the Shadow Troopers that advanced towards him. One of them tried to stab him, but he grabbed him with his clawed foot and slammed him into the ground. He grabbed the lightsaber of another and decapitated another Shadow Trooper before the rest activated their lightsabers.

"I have been waiting to collect some more trophies." General Grievous said. He held two lightsaber hilts in his hands before separating them, revealing two more. He laughed as he activated all four of his hilts before starting to butcher each Shadow Trooper that came at him. They all screamed as he slashed through them all. Several Death Watch Devils fired at him as well, but he deflected their blasts, even sending them back at the Devils. As a Shadow Trooper tried to slash at him, he grabbed the Trooper and tossed him into the air before tossing his lightsaber at several more. When the Shadow Trooper came down, he slashed him in half.

Back down on the surface, Anakin and Depa were both using Ataru against N-K Necrosis and forcing him back at the same time. Necrosis held his blade up strong, managing to parry off several of their attacks. Depa managed to hold one of the attacks before Anakin kicked him away. N-K Necrosis spun around and slashed again, but Anakin and Depa slashed him away easily.

The Clone Troopers and Battle Droids in Capital City fired at the incoming Shadow Troopers. Obi-Wan picked up a blaster from a fallen Clone Trooper and fired at some more while slashing at the rest. The MagnaGuards, Blade Runners and Saber Strikers sent to help fought off against the rest. Obi-Wan eventually tossed aside his blaster at a Shadow Trooper before slashing at more of them with Soresu. He spun around and blocked another attack before jumping up and kicking two more away. As he landed, he slashed apart another Shadow Trooper before Force-Pushing seventeen more towards the Mandalorian Turrets, causing them to explode upon impact.

Ahsoka spun around and slashed away at Komari Vosa, who used Niman to fend off against her. Ahsoka continued to spin around, using her azure blade and the Xiphon to send her back. The two locked blades and stared each other down before Katooni slashed at her from below. Komari Vosa lifted up her foot and struck down at her with her right blade while keeping Ahsoka at bay with her left saber. She grinned and spun around, slashing both Ahsoka and Katooni away before two Shadow Troopers charged at the Jedi.

"Get them!" Katooni called out. "I've got this one!"

"Thanks." Ahsoka said before she sheathed the Xiphon. She leapt over the Shadow Trooper with Komari Vosa and slammed her blade at Vosa, the two locking with each other. They stared each other down before she slashed her away while kicking the shadow Trooper back. She started to spin around her lightsaber, utilizing SokaTan and parrying off both of her opponents. The two continued to slash at her before she slashed at both of them with a low version of Vaapad. Komari Vosa tried to slash at her down low while the Shadow Trooper slashed at her high, causing Ahsoka to lift up her foot and block Vosa's blade while her new vest defended herself from the Shadow Trooper. She broke off and slashed at the two, killing the Shadow Trooper before kicking away Komari Vosa.

Katooni ran at the Shadow Trooper she was facing, deflecting blasts from him. She spun around, slashing through each blast with Soresu before riposting him with Makashi. The two parried blades back and forth with one another before locking blades. She broke off and slashed at him wide with Shien using a reverse-grip. As he stumbled back, she leapt on him and performed a Hurricanrana, sending him to the ground.

Ezra spun and slammed his blade at Lady Shiva, who held up her red blades in response. She pushed him away and slashed back, causing him to use Shii-Cho to defend himself before Sabine slashed at her from the side. She stabbed her Shadow Saber forward, black and silver blades locked together. Ezra broke off and slammed his personal lightsaber onto her before scarring her right shoulder with Kanan's lightsaber. Lady Shiva growled as she felt the burn sink in and slashed back at Ezra with both of her blades. However, he held up his right blade, letting Sabine shoot at her with her flamethrower.

"Get her!" Ephraim called out.

"You can do it!" Mira called out.

Ezra smiled, feeling his parents' words of encouragement sink in. He and Sabine looked to each other and nodded before the two spun around in tandem, slashing Lady Shiva back. She did her best to keep up with their movements, but Ezra eventually disarmed her of the red Double-Bladed Lightsaber from the future. She growled and held her Shadow Saber in her right hand again, using Vaapad to force Ezra away before Sabine locked the Darksaber with her. The two stared each other down before Ezra leapt up and down onto her again, slashing her away with Niman and Ataru.

As Ahsoka was advancing towards Komari Vosa, she noticed the Xiphon starting to glow. It flew into the air, where it activated near the Ruination.

Back in space, Tol Skorr and Kira Nyon fired at the Fusion Cannons, temporarily disabling them. Rook Kast growled and redirected the guns at the two, but they flew out of the way. Within minutes, the Fusion Cannon charged up again, causing her to grin under her helmet.

"I have you now!" Rook Kast called out.

The Fusion Cannons fired at the Republic and Separatist Fleets, but all of a sudden, the spirit of Sonia appeared, catching the Xiphon before deflecting the Fusion Cannon blast to the side.

"Sonia!" Kira exclaimed.

Back inside the Ruination, Black Canary and Louise Lincoln unleashed a massive blast on the Shield Generator, destroying it. General Grievous continued to slash away at the Shadow Collective forces before the rest of the Republic and Separatist forces planted bombs along the wall.

"We have our ace!" Admiral Dodonna called out. "Are the shields down?"

"They are," Aquaman replied. "We're getting out now!"

The Republic and Separatists fighters flew out while the rest of the Fighters did as well.

Sonia stood on top of the Equinox, forming her SokaTan Trinity Symbol.

On the ground below, Ahsoka, Anakin, Ezra, Katooni, Serra, Depa and Miss Martian formed their SokaTan Trinity Symbols as well. All at once, the Jedi sent them towards their targets.

Lady Shiva was sent towards the Byakko while Komari Vosa was sent tumbling backwards. N-K Necrosis flew back from Anakin and Depa while Katooni took out at least half of the Shadow Trooper army. Ma'alefa'ak was sent towards the Byakko like Lady Shiva was while in the skies, Sonia sent forth her SokaTan towards the Ruination. Everyone inside held on as its fuel started to deplete while several parts of it exploded.

Meanwhile, Obi-Wan, Saw, Jaybo, Lux and the combined army took down the Shadow Troopers before seeing what had happened. Everyone on the ground cheered at this sight while all the Legion could do was watch with horror.

"Fall back!" Lady Shiva ordered.

"What about Thawne?" Komari Vosa asked. "You'd leave him in the hands of the Republic?"

"He won't be there for long." Lady Shiva said as she started up a damaged C-3PX started up the Byakko.

The Byakko and other surviving ships took off towards the Ruination. Everyone else fired at the fleeing forces, but they already made it back to the warship. As soon as all the forces made it back, it took off into Hyperspace.

In the Separatist Flagship, Count Dooku grinned at the victory. He turned around and walked to his chambers. As soon as he entered, the doors closed by themselves. The Count of Serenno looked around before a hologram of Darth Sidious appeared. He bowed before his Master immediately.

"My Master…" Count Dooku said.

"Lord Tyranus," Darth Sidious said. "I hear you have joined forces with the Republic," he said. "Explain yourself."

"Our strength alone cannot defeat the Shadow Collective or its Legion of Doom," Count Dooku explained. "Without their help, we could not have achieved this major strike against them…" he started out before looking up with a grin on his face. "Nor could we have asked for an unwilling ally to take Darth Maul in and use his new powers for our own gain.

"I do not approve of this alliance, Count," Darth Sidious said sternly. "But if you are able to bring Darth Maul to me and dissolve this Shadow Collective… you have my trust… for now." He said before ending his transmission.

"We did it!" Ahsoka exclaimed. "That was it! Our major blow against the Shadow Collective!"

"Souvenir!" Kid Flash exclaimed as he picked up a mask from a Shadow Trooper.

Ezra and Sabine smiled at each other. Sabine went to check on Ephraim and Mira. He went as well, but suddenly sensed someone behind him. He smiled and turned around, seeing a white Loth-Wolf, the same one from his time.

"I guess this is how we met," Ezra said. He let out a chuckle. "Your home is safe again. Don't worry."

The Loth-Wolf sent a nod towards Ezra. He walked closer and lifted his paw to draw a message in the dirt. Ezra looked down, seeing the name PALPATINE written out. He looked up with a nod before the Loth-Wolf disappeared, saying his one word: "Doom…"

Ezra turned around and walked towards his Parents. Sabine noticed him and smiled, backing away to let him through.

"Thank you," Ephraim said gratefully. "Because of you, Lothal is now safe from the DarkSiders."

"No problem," Ezra replied, causing Ahsoka and Sabine to smile. "I'm just glad to see that you're both safe."

"Your selflessness has given us hope," Mira said. "Thanks to you, I will be able to live to give birth to the child me and Ephraim hope to have."

"Is it a boy? Or girl?" Sabine asked excitedly.

"Well, we haven't felt it yet, but I'm hoping for it to be a boy." Mira replied.

Ezra smiled. "If it is…" he started out. "Can I suggest the name?"

"Of course," Ephraim said. "What name did you have in mind?"

"Call him Ezra," Ezra said. "I have a feeling he'll grow up to live a prosperous life."

Mira smiled. "I like it," she said as she and Ephraim looked lovingly into each others' eyes. "Our new baby will be young Ezra Bridger."

"Oh!" Sabine said, unable to hold in her excitement.

"Come here." Ahsoka said as she grabbed Sabine to help calm her down.

Ezra chuckled. "Well, I wish you luck," he said to his parents as they got up. "It was nice to meet you. I mean it."

"It was nice to see you too," Ephraim said. "Thank you."

"May the Force be with you." Mira said before she and Ephraim walked off.

The rest of the Young Justice, as well as Depa, came to Ezra and Sabine. The two smiled as they turned to their friends.

"Thank you, Ezra," Ahsoka said. "And Sabine, for helping us against the DarkSiders once again."

"That's what we're here for," Sabine asked. "And as much as we love to help out, we have our own time to get back to."

"We understand," Aqualad said. "You have a lot going on in your time, I imagine."

"Yeah," Ezra said. "But before we go, keep an eye on Palpatine," he said cautiously. "We can't tell you everything about him from our time, and we're not trying to trick you, but there's going to be a day where you'll find that something doesn't add up with him."

Depa nodded. "Thank you for that advice." She said.

"We'll be sure to look out for anything suspicious," Artemis said. "Thanks."

"You'll be needing this back too," Sabine said as she handed Ahsoka the Darksaber. "There will be a time when Maul will get this back, but for now, look after it as best as you can."

"We will," Paula said as she grabbed the Darksaber. "Thank you."

"Do you think you can get us back to our time, Wally?" Ezra asked Kid Flash.

"Two things, I don't want to see the Future yet," Kid Flash said. "Second, the Speed Force hasn't allowed me to time-travel yet."

"Perhaps I can help." Sonia said as she appeared before everyone.

"Sonia!" Ezra exclaimed.

"You're back!" Sabine exclaimed happily.

"It's good to see you again, Ezra and Sabine," Sonia said. "Despite coming from the Future, you seem to be helping out a lot more here."

"We try our best." Sabine said.

"Can you get us back to our own time?" Ezra asked.

"Go ahead, Sonia," Ahsoka said, causing Sonia to smile. "Your turn to help out this time."

"Okay," Sonia said. "Let's go."

"Keep an eye on the Eternal Saber for me, will you?" Ezra requested to the Young Justice.

"She's in good hands." Katooni said.

"Remember," Sonia started out as she held her hand out, causing a portal to appear in front of her, Ezra and Sabine. "If we ever need you again, the Force will call to you."

I BBY…

Zeb looked outside of the Rebel Base, seeing the rest of Ryder Azadi's group start to set up.

"Looks like we're getting along," Zeb said to Kanan, Ryder and Jai. "Just a little longer before we're set up… but we're not all accounted for just yet."

"You think Thawne will come back again?" Jai Kell asked.

"Ezra and Sabine will make it back here," Kanan said. "Just give them more time."

All of a sudden, a bright light came from outside. Everyone looked to where the source was coming from before Ezra and Sabine walked out, followed by Sonia's Force Spirit.

"Xion?" Zeb asked. "No, wait. Sonia."

"Garazeb Orrelios," Sonia said with a bow. "I am honored."

"Welcome back, you two," Kanan said. "How was your time travel adventure?"

"It was there," Sabine said. "But we managed."

"And now, I have a better feeling about the Fight to free Lothal." Ezra added on.

"Hello again, Kanan Jarrus," Sonia said. "I sense you are more in tune with the Force than the last time we met."

"You're one of the reasons we managed to get through in the Force," Kanan said. "May the Force be with you, Sonia Sky."

"May the Force be with you." Sonia said before she walked away and disappeared.

Kanan turned to Ezra. "I don't know what you were up to back in the Clone Wars," he said, causing the two's eyes to widen. "But whatever you did, Master Billaba died peacefully."

"You know, huh?" Ezra asked.

"At the campfire before Order 66, Depa told me about how she met you two," Kanan explained. "She wasn't worried about death anymore. You helped put her at peace."

"We were just helping out the Republic, like we usually do." Sabine said.

"You're not mad, are you?" Ezra asked.

"I couldn't have asked for a better Padawan." Kanan said.

"Nor could I have asked for a better Master." Ezra said with a smile as he handed Kanan his lightsaber back.

Kanan smiled. "Just let us know before you do this again." He teased.

"Alright," Ryder said. "Let's get to work. We still have a battle to win."

32 BBY…

The Republic and Separatist Fleets started to leave Lothal. Ahsoka smiled as she looked out the Bridge with Anakin and the rest of the Young Justice.

"Ezra started this alliance," Ahsoka said. "Let's make it count… and take down the Shadow Collective, once and for all!"

"Let's go home." Depa said.

Everyone agreed. Soon, the Hyperdrive Engines were activated. Within minutes, each Ship made the Jump to Lightspeed… to Home.
