Nightsister Empire Chapter4

"I can take you as far as Mos Eisley or anchor head. There you can charter a ship to take you to your destination. I can't leave my family, even if we don't see eye to eye. If I just go off with you they will worry." Luke said slightly disheartened but he felt it was the best and right thing to do.

Mani was about to protest but Ben stopped him "If that is what you feel is right. Then so be it. Thank you" He said kindly.

"We better get moving" Mani said as he headed for the door. Minutes later the rag tag group were shooting across the desert in Luke's battered speeder. After about half an hour the group came across something that made them stop. They had come across the wreck of a sandcrawler the outside of which was littered with blast marks and Jawa bodies. Mani was the first out followed by Luke and Ben then the droids followed. Mani went over to the bodies while Ben examined the wreck. Luke saw the bantha tracks and the sand people weapons all over the place "It's got to be sand people the evidence is all around. It's just I've never heard of them hitting anything this big before" he said.

Mani just shook his head "It wasn't sand people" he said gesturing Luke to come over. He then pointed at a Jawa who was almost sliced in half diagonally "These wounds were made by a lightsaber and the only people who carry those are Nightsisters, night brothers and Jedi." He added.

"And added to the fact that these blast marks are far too accurate for sand people or storm troopers for that matter. Only Mandalorians are so precise and merciless" Ben interjected.

Luke couldn't believe it "Nightsisters and Mandalorians!? Here? Why would they be here? What's so important here?" Luke asked but then it hit him hard "wait these are the Jawa's that sold my family those droids. If they tracked them to here then they would lead them. Home" he said panic and concern in his voice. Before anyone could say anything Luke shot off in his speeder.

*Maybe I can get there in time and warn them get them away* he thought to himself as he reached his home. He was relieved to see it still in one piece. However his relief was short lived, as he neared the farm it exploded in blaze of fire and colour, the imperial symbol shooting into the sky. Luke was knocked back and hit the ground hard. He quickly turned to look at the burning wreck that was once his home he then saw the imperial symbol in the sky and his eyes drew to two burning forms at the front of the house. His whole life, his family had all been destroyed, he had nothing left. He would have to go with Mani and Ben now.

With a heavy heart Luke walked to his speeder and shot off back to Mani and Ben. Little did he know that he was being watched from on top of a very large sand dune.

Sabine smiled evilly her explosion had been a great successes and now she had a lead on the plans. "Aww It looks like a little lamb came home. Hope he had I nice show, he's heading off now back to the sandcrawler. He must have allies there." She said to Chiman and Chi

"Good….

We…..

Will…..

Intercept…

Them….

At the spaceport." Chiman and Chi said in unison.

Sabine nodded as she activated her com and a hologram of Ahsoka appeared. "My Mother" Sabine said bowing her head "We have a new lead on the plans, we will intercept a boy and his allies at the spaceport" she reported

"Good. Find out what you can and then tie up the loose ends" Ahsoka replied. Sabine nodded and closed the channel, before boarding their shuttle.

Luke was not enjoying his adventure he had been almost caught by storm troopers then kicked out of the cantina for having and droid and then he got attacked by a couple of drunk criminals culminating on one of them losing an arm after Mani had come to his aid. To top it all off he was now talking to some smug smuggler who wanted to charge the planet for a simply trip.

"We can pay you three now then fourteen when we get to where we're going." Ben said calmly

The sum made the smuggler smile "seventeen huh... You've got yourself a ship. We'll leave as soon as you're ready. Docking bay 94" he said "I think you better leave before someone takes an interest in your handy work" he added indicating to the brightly coloured mandalorian that had just walked in.

Sabine was furious, the idiotic stromtroopers had let the boy and his allies through, granted they had fallen to a Jedi mind trick but that didn't matter they had still got away. At least she knew more about the people she wanted. At least one of them was a Jedi, as a result she had told the twins to go round back and ambush anyone walking out with a young boy.

Once she reached the bar Sabine took her helmet off and ordered a drink. That was when a rather ugly man came up to her.

"Hey baby. What's a cute mando like you doing in a place like this?" he asked.

Sabine just rolled her eyes "I'm looking for information and It would be best for you to cooperate" she said threateningly.

This angered the man "and what if I don't want to cooperate. You have no idea who you're dealing with" he yelled this got the attention of the room.

Sabine just half smiled put her drink down stepped to the side drew one of her blasters and casually shot the man square in the face. "No you have no idea who you were dealing with" she said boringly. She then turned to the crowd "I am lieutenant Sabine Wren of the imperial army, personal bodyguard to Mother Tano and I want to know if two men and a boy came here" she stated to the room. It was amazing how quickly people told her what she wanted to know although she supposed that would happen when you execute a man for not telling and then mention the most feared person in the galaxy.

After she had been told that she wanted to know Sabine walked the bar that was when she saw someone she recognise blast a rodian away. She walked over to him "Ahh captain Solo." She said as she pushed the corpse onto the floor "I'm looking for a boy and two men" she added sitting down.

"Lieutenant Wren. I know what you're looking for. How did those supplies go over with mother Tano, giving them to you caused a lot of grief with Jabba. He has a price on my head now." He said simply

"But you seem to be handling it with your usual style" Sabine retoured looking at the dead rodian "Don't worry help us again and we will make sure you're paid more than enough to cover you debts and then some." She said as she placed a large Bag of credits onto the table "So shall we talk?" she asked.

Obi wan, Ani and Luke had ducked out of the back entrance so they wouldn't be spotted, they hoped that the rest of the trip would go off without a hitch but they were wrong. As the trio walked Ani and Obi-wan sensed something and drew their lightsabers just in time to block the crimson blades of the twins.

"So much for the easy way" Ani quipped as he force pushed the attackers away. They stood ready to fight as the figures circled them.

"Shall we play my brother?" Chi asked

"Yes let's play my sister. Their lightsabers would make excellent additions to our collection" Chiman replied as the pair attacked in perfect unison. Luke, who was behind a stack of boxes, as he had no weapons, so he couldn't help, watched in awe at the battle that took pace. The Cloaked figures which Luke had worked out where part of the night order attacked in sync and seemed almost to know what the other was going to do before they actually did it.

Luke marvelled at how powerful Mani's attacks were and how elegant Bens were. Luke could also clearly see that his friends were on the back foot against the much younger pair. As blades crossed and blows were exchanged the dust and sand started to kick up.

Ben was blocking attacks left right and centre with Mani at his back "We are getting to old for this" he joked darkly

"Speak for yourself" Mani replied as he forced pushed Chi back before flipping and blocking Chimans thrust. Obi wan span round and coved Mani as he blocked an attack form Chi. Just then the battle sounds were interpreted by Luke yelling in pain. The battle stopped and the group saw that Sabine had Luke round the neck and a gun at his head. Luke had been so immersed in watching the fight that he didn't hear Sabine come up behind him.

"Drop your sabers or the runt dies" she said cruelly. Obi-wan looked at Mani who nodded. But just as it looked like they were going to give up Obi-wan and Mani forced pushed all imperials back crashing them against the walls. Mani then grabbed Luke and the trio Ran. It was time to get the heck off the planet.

AN: there's the next chapter. It turned out longer then I wanted but I wanted to get this bit out of the way. As always please read and review. If you have any suggestions for this fic I'd be happy to hear them.
