"Rise before the fall! As Darth Maul fully regain his strength as well formed a dark alliance with the extremist group Deathwatch as well the multiple grounds of the Underworld. They now plan to raid Mandalore as well usurp the throne from Duchess Satine, however as things soon begun to fall in line. The fallen sith apprentice Maul has felt something, a powerful disturbance in the force in his time of triumph. Which he would soon draw in Obi Wan to Mandalore, as well break him and have revenge over the years of his own torment. The Dathomirian male, feels a dark force coming."
On the moon of Mandalore
Upon the moon where Deathwatch as well the rest of the criminals from the underworld had come to unite with Pre Vizsla and Darth Maul, both leaders were handling their own duties. In his tent, Maul was mediating as well focusing all of his anger as well how much killing he has done into this very moment. In which he as well his brother would pose as 'criminals' for Deathwatch to show that Pre Vizsla should be the leader as well ruler of Mandalore.
"At last, we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last, we will have revenge."
Remembering the words that he spoke to his master, Sidious. During those days learning from his ways, as well of being his apprentice. Maul believed they would destroy the Jedi and takeover the galaxy. As well didn't expect that after his first defeat from the Jedi Obi Wan, he was left. Alone, taken away from Naboo and hauled away from civilized lifeforms to the outer rims of the wasteland world Lotho Minor. As well remembers the years of isolation, hate and anger which he had to use to survive.
"Always remember, I am fear! Always remember, I am a hunter! Always remember, I am filth! Always remember, I am nothing..."
Thinking about how he had to survive, as well changing from that of a powerful Sith warrior ready to slaughter the Jedi. To then be forgotten, alone as well forgetting himself. His mind continues to race with memories that have been leading up to this moment, along of his encounter with Obi Wan as well Ventress. Battling them was that of facing the Jedi, though the one thing he had forgotten or rather unable to figure out was this mysterious figure. 'Evil', who talked to him during the fight on the junker ship.
"This revenge seems quite low to the likes of you, as well it being here on this junk ship. As well possibly keeping your word, Such as making the world, burn?"
Evil's voice ringing in his head as well how it was the key to having his revenge, not like what happened. But of a way to break Obi wan as well have him at the same level at he was. His eyes opened showing his yellow pupils as well seeing himself in the tent, along hearing that of the conversations going on outside. Coming into the tent was his brother Savage, who looked ready to move out.
"The Mandalorian wishes to speak with you brother."
Savage informing him as Maul, merely stands up and follows his brother. To which he had grown fond of, not due to their ranks of being Sith lords. But that of being brothers from Dathomir, strong and cruel to their enemies. Walking to the tent where Pre Vizsla was at, the two Sith brothers looked at what they've accomplished. Forming a alliance with not only the Mandalorians who wish to restore their ways, but of several criminal organizations that aid them in order to obtain both money and power.
"Do you feel it my apprentice?"
Maul asking his brother about a feeling he was having, while Savage was great with his anger as well rage against his enemies. He was still a apprentice as well a learner to the force. Maul however, during his anger and pain was able to listen to the force as well the dark side.
"Emotions, I can feel all around me. The men and women here, thinking about what might happen. Whether they will accomplish their goal in liberating that of the duchess rule, or die for their cause. While not knowing, their actions will make their planet look to everyone else. A threat."
Describing to them at how everyone in the camp as well residents of Mandalore, will make the galaxy look at them like if they were dangerous. They soon make their way towards the tent, where they see that of the leader of Deathwatch Pre Vizsla along with his second in command Bo Katan. As well several other members from the crime gangs, they were discussing the plans about how they would begin their takeover.
"Maul, Savage. As you can see right now, there are several key points that Satine frequently visits as well is noticed at. Our main goal isn't to take Mandalore by force, it's to convince them that we are the ones to rule with strength, not fear."
He explained to the two as their plan would be to stage their own personal 'attacks' to fool the people of the planet to believing they are being threaten. However, Deathwatch would be there to save the day as well be seen as heroes.
"I will use my army of crime lords to attack different targets across Sundari and sow chaos to undermine the Duchess's rule. Our gangsters will make her look too weak to maintain control. Then you and your Death Watch will capture and arrest us, bringing order where Satine's weak government could not."
Maul responding to Vizsla about what his as well Savage's part would be in the matter, the Mandalorian nodded along of the others seeing how they had to be careful. As well plan their moves, agreeing to the plan. They begun to get ready to travel to the planet. Walking out of the tent, Bo Katan still felt concern for what her leader had planned.
"Vizsla, I'm as much as devoted to liberating Mandalore and making it a planet to be both respected and powerful. But I don't like it, it's a risk working with them. They are Sith."
She expressed that of a negative response to working with these dangerous men, seeing how last time that Vizsla worked with a Sith lord. He screwed them over and had them leave their home as well had to keep out of far range from the planet and anywhere else that might know them.
"Of course, as well that I've have taken precaution. When we have the people turned to us and against the Duchess, will have no use for them. Will make sure that Mandalore will never gain be afraid or be in need of force users again."
He told Katan about that when everything is said and done, as well when the time was right. They would do away with the Sith Lords as well make sure the brothers don't try and takeover before they do. Bo Katan, merely nodded with her leader as well followed him to that of the ships. However, not knowing to them one of the Black Sun members were spying on them. Along of their eye colors was light red, across the other side of the alien male. Was that of Headcase, who was using him like a puppet and spying on them.
"Very interesting, apparently they plan to use the old 'savior' tactic. Though two bad bloods working together will lead to catastrophe."
Headcase spoke as he as well the Master's of evil ship were right now away from the moon as well keeping a quiet presence from them. Evil, as well the rest of the villains were making sure everything was ready. Hoodlum, on the side of the controls was right now contacting several individuals that they've met during the past weeks who were given the experimental serum that gave them meta powers.
"That won't matter when we come in and take it all. Though the one thing that will be annoying is this waiting, what exactly are we waiting for Evil?"
The shadow criminal asking his leader, who was right now watching on the monitor several Deathwatch ships making their way to Mandalore. All in the while, he was looking across the other monitors the war still raging on.
"The guest of honor."
Evil answering his teammate's question seeing how that this was just bait for someone he was waiting for, let alone of that his was just a stage he was setting. As well several elements were still awaiting, he kept a calm composure as well looked at the screens.
"We can't exactly tell the Republic or even the Jedi that Maul and Deathwatch has surfaced and now plan to conquer Mandalore. It's a neutral planet, meaning no one will help out the planet. And which certain group, who hear this somewhat startling news will rush to the aid?"
Asking the two in the room with him, to which they obviously figured it out at how out of everyone in the galaxy. There be more group that would come to the aid of the planet, the Wild Force. However, they would need some type of message to convince the animals to come to the planet. The doors slid open showing that of Ventress, who had on just return from a assignment that required her to go off on her own.
"Your brute and hothead have been placed in the location where you wanted. I don't know what it will do but have both Igor and Outburst destroy everything."
Ventress informing Evil how that she took the team's dangerous fighters to a planet she hasn't heard about, Evil. Waved a finger smiling at how she was a good spy as well able to sneak in anyone to any planets without getting detection from any certain individuals they needed to stay away from.
"Well, because unlike the thousands of strategists in the Separatists as well the Republic. There's one thing they don't exactly think about, friends? Only politics, as well the power they have made. So, I had to locate someone who once went to the Duchess for guidance, as well tried to get help from Deathwatch as well."
Evil explained sounding a bit excited at how the person he tried to locate was someone that will have the Wild Force come to Mandalore and start off the plan. Bringing up on screen was that of Lux Bonteri. Son of the late Mina Bonteri who was allegedly 'assassinated' by Count Dooku, no one could confirm this or justify against his mother's death, so he went to Deathwatch. However they were to radical for him, let alone they only wanted Mandalore as well make sure to show people their resolve.
"He's been right now helping with Onderon after a civil war with a Separatist leader, making sure supplies come to the surface. No funny business, that stuff. However, what if. Let's say, two. Mysterious beings came to the planet and told him about, the Duchess being hold hostage."
Giving that of an assumption of what was going on, let alone of how that with the chaos that both Igor and Outburst will make on the planet Lux was on. It could draw the attention of the Wild Force, as well possibly Obi Wan. All they needed to do now was to wait for them to get their attention, as well make their way right towards Mandalore.
Outer Rims Section
Traveling across the rims was a Republic cruiser, Obi Wan as well that of Ahsoka and the Wolf Force were patrolling the sector on the count of a possible sighting of General Grievous. In the war room was Obi Wan with the other holographic Jedi Masters who were discussing the movement of the droid general, on the side was Sparky who was looking over the stars as well a passing by planet.
"It feels strange, months being here in this galaxy. Dealing with armies and soldiers, I wanna say. I'm used to this now, it that weird?"
The robot dog speaking out to the team. Who were on the sides of the command deck looking for any signs of Grievous, or something that might lead to the Masters since they were still skulking around the system.
"Yeah dog, on the count that we've been here for months. Settled in and possibly might not get back home, yeah it's weird."
Ash stated as the hellfire rabbit somehow was adjusting to this galaxy, while it was chaotic along of how annoying being apart of a space military as well bunk with the Jedi. It was fun to go planet to planet, battling Separatists as well of making their armies into nothing but scrap metal. Everyone had different opinions of how they had grown fond of the galaxy as well haven't thought about earth.
"However, whatever we're feeling we know one thing. The masters still need to be sent back to earth, as well the rest of us. Since it is our home."
Quackers stating a fact that while this could, or rather possible for them to live here. They couldn't forget about their soul mission, making sure to send the masters back to Earth to make sure they don't bring any more chaotic ideas or plans to ruin any lives here. While they were right now discussing the matter, Ahsoka was on the side checking out some communications as well listening to them. By her side was that of Zena, who noticed the look on her face.
"Annoyed by the talking?"
The Zygerrian female asking her on how that she herself had heard about the idea of traveling to another planet. Far away from the war, the Jedi as well everything in this galaxy. While it sounded like a fresh start for her, however for Ahsoka. It bothered her, on the fact that their world seemed somewhat calm and small, but also had it's own type of lifestyle.
"Kind of, we're not exactly on decent terms but. This galaxy isn't that bad, and. I want Sparky and the others to have the portal ready but, I just don't know about what might happen to him. The team, us.."
The jedi teen expressing that of a uncertain attitude in their situation, while she would stay with Sparky since he wanted her to achieve her rank as a Jedi master. She still wanted him to succeed in making the portal and sending the masters back to earth. It felt complicated, Zena didn't know how to answer it since she spent half of her time fighting in the arenas as well never been in a relationship before.
"The one thing I can say, is the dog likes you. And wants to help everyone as well be a hero, so try to save him when he needs to be saved."
Informing Ahsoka how that while Sparky and the Wild Force would do whatever they could to repair the mistake they did, even they would need help. As the two girls were talking, something was going on in the war room in which case Obi Wan had gotten a call. Ahsoka, noticing it along of Quackers went over to check up on it. It showed a hologram of Lux Bonteri, as well how he was wearing that of armor.
"Greetings Master Kenobi, I apologize for the possible hunt for General Grievous."
The young man spoke to the master as Obi Wan merely nodes his head, as well greeting him like a friend. Ahsoka, bows her head to him as well as it had been a while since she's last seen him back on Raxus. As well felt sorry about the lost of his mother, to which she believed in Dooku behind the death.
"It's no problem, though it's a surprise to have someone contact us."
Kenobi welcoming him but also curious of how he was able to contact them, apparently right now he was on Onderon. Which was several stars away, however from how he looked there was something wrong.
"Yes, but right now it seems that those individuals that the Wild Force are chasing are here. As well in a palace where Separatist Rash was taken out."
Lux explained as well showed a holographic recording of both Igor and Outburst who were in the palace, taking out several people who were looking for any supplies that the droids left. Along how that it showed that of Outburst, firing off fire at them. Along of Igor, who was throwing destroyed tanks and trees all across the area.
"So far they haven't done anything else but kept the palace to themselves, I thought it be best to contact the Wild Force. However they are often with you so, we had to locate any republic cruisers passing by."
Bringing on how going to the republic wasn't exactly a option since he was considered neutral, as well that he was the son of a Separatist. Quackers, taking a moment to think about this as it made no sense for two of them to head to planet where it had just settled down after a Separatist fight. Though soon enough, the doors slide open showing that of Sparky. Who had his shield on his back as well apparently heard the discussion happening.
"Will go on a transport to Onderon at once."
The masked dog stating to Lux they would check it out, Lux bows his head thanking the dog for accepting this assignment. As well had to attend to the people who were hurt after trying to take on the two villains. The transmission went off along of Obi Wan giving Sparky a look at how they had to look for Grievous.
"Sparky, we have our orders to locate Grievous. As well try and stop him from harming any more territories that has fallen because of him."
He spoke in a serious manner about how they were already on a mission, as well how that it involved them tracking down a dangerous droid. Sparky, nodded to him as well of wouldn't bring the entire clone army with him.
"I mean to say, the wild force will and get them. We can split up and fight on two different fields, as well that while the Republic army are still having their hands full with the droids. We can try and find Evil, if he sent them out. It had to be for something."
Sparky responding to him on how that while they were hunting Grievous, this could help them get Evil. As well have him pay for the crimes he's done to Coruscant as well of several attacks on them. While it would help, the Wild Force was still needed to help with taking down Grievous. Quackers, thinking about the ideal snaps his fingers.
"Split up, one group stays to find Grievous. Second investigates Igor and Outburst, old saying goes. Divide and Conquer, correct?"
Asking Obi Wan in which he nodded, while it was a risk to letting several of the animal teens go off on their own. It had to be a chance he take in order to try and locate evil, seeing how they still need to track Grievous. He had to allow this, however they couldn't bring in any clones with them. Sparky, agreed to the terms as well went over to tell the team about their trip to Onderon.
Later-Onderon
Traveling to the Separatist free planet, Sparky brought along with him Ahsoka, Speed as well Kizaemon as the four would go in fast. Find the two masters and strike them down before anyone would be killed during their takeover. Landing upon the surface of the planet, on the ground was that of Lux Bonteri with several individuals who were looking at the small ship coming down. Making a safe landing, the door opened showing the four walking down to see the people noticing them.
"Kon'nichiwa, onderon no hitobito."
Kizaemon greeting them in Japanese as well bowing to them, it was a strange sight to be receiving help from the Republic. Since they weren't here for the Separatist who was on the planet waging war. Most of them looked at the animals and Jedi with looks of disappointment, Lux sighs as well welcomed the four.
"Apologies for the greetings, we're right now deciding whether to join with the Republic or to stay neutral and worry about our own. As you can see, it's been difficult."
He explained to them about how that Republic forces were to busy to help out, neither Ahsoka or Sparky heard about this happening. Or rather how they weren't inform of this secret battle happening, Lux soon leads them over to where the attack was happening. Passing by the sights, they saw numerous accounts of destroyed vehicles as well a couple of buildings half destroyed and the palace in front of them.
"Seems alright, sure that Igor and Outburst could be..."
Before Speed could respond, Lux was counting down until suddenly. Right out of the palace they saw that of a destroyed spider droid flying off the rooftop. As well flying towards them, seeing if coming at them fast. Ahsoka used the force to stop it in mid air as well slow it down. Holding the weight of the droid, she toss's it to the side as they looked above seeing Igor right above the palace.
"Wild Force! We come and play!"
Igor shouted as well showing off numerous items he had and was ready to throw right at them. Sparky, walked up looking at the large male as well making a fist.
"Igor! I know your only doing this because Evil is commanding you. Tell us where he is and we can take you home."
Sparky calling out to him on how he was just muscle, as well not exactly smart. It be possible to offer a choice for the green skin brute to help them out, Igor. Merely turned his head as well nodded.
"Igor knows, but Igor knows you won't like it."
Responding to the dog as well heading inside, the four got bothered by this soon decide to rush in. Lux, informing the others outside who wanted to rush in to keep back. Pulling out a blaster, Lux ran in with the four to see the insides as well the rest of the rooms being destroyed. Joining up, he saw them encounter Outburst on the throne where Rash was placed.
"It's been quite a while there animals, been keeping busy with the war? Not thinking about us. That means you've got bigger things to deal with."
The fire wielding villain spoke out as well smirking at them, the four kept vigilant not taking their eyes off him. Seeing how that he was in a former separatist base, which could still have several traps.
"Kinda yeah, though compared that to you? Drop it all in a heart beat to make sure that you get locked up."
Speed announced as the cheetah snarled his fangs at him like a animal not going let him get the chance to attack. Outburst, nodded as well got up from the chair he was on.
"Yeah, but also that while your acting like loyal pets for the republic. We've been stirring up something that's going bring the whole galaxy down, besides you gotta thank Lux for that."
Outburst talking to them about a possible plan that will involve causing even more trouble for the galaxy, it confused them as he mention Lux. What did he have to do with the plan? Outburst, merely chuckled at the confusion along of how not even they knew.
"I'll just say this, never go to a militia when you could just hire a bounty hunter boy."
He told Lux as in that quick second, let alone of what the villain spoke. Struck into his head as well made him think about the word 'militia', which was that of Deathwatch. A private army that wasn't with Mandalore and were considered extremists, plus how he went to them to seek help. That sudden bring up caused the boy to shoot at Outburst, however there was that of a shield in front of him as it a defense mechanism for Rash.
"Big talk for someone who's behind a shield right?"
Ahsoka taunting him as Outburst merely chuckled and press's a button, soon enough across the doors was that of several reactivated super battle droids. As they came out shooting, Sparky went over and protect Lux while the others handled the droids.
"Word of advice? Never shoot a blaster at a guy who breathes and shoots fire."
He told Lux as he made sure Lux could shoot the droids while the others handled the droids, Outburst rushed out of his chair and making a run for it. Speed, taking the chance soon runs after him, everything slowing down around him. The feline kept moving as well watched his movement, taking the chance he leapt right over a destroyed droid as well tackles Outburst. Spiraling downwards the stairs, they soon appear outside.
"Leaving? Sorry but you gotta face some crimes that involve dropping a monster in a populated city."
Speed informing Outburst about the Zillo incident, he responds back to the car by breathing fire at Speed. Dodging the flame, he made sure to keep his distance as well does a sliding kick to him. The force from the kick sent Outburst flying to a wall and hitting it hard, shaking his head from the hit he saw Speed standing in front of him.
"Yeah, a city. Just like Mandalore, a city where it's people are now in jeopardy. Something that you have trouble keeping up with. Right Igor?!"
Looking up to which coming downwards was the large green brute, hitting the ground like a ton of bricks. He back hands Speed to the side, Igor helps out Outburst as well rush to that of a small ship. Before leaving, Igor pulled out a small helmet to the ground on the ground. Making their escape, the others run out to check up on what happened.
"This wasn't a random attack, they were sending a message."
Speed telling the others along of how that Outburst and Igor here were trying to get attention. As well how he got up and picked up a helmet, Sparky taking a look it wasn't from any other planets. Or rather that it was unique to only one planet, Mandalore.
"What's happening on Mandalore?"
Ahsoka asked sounding concern over the planet along what the Masters were doing on the planet, whatever this was it was some type of twisted invitation to the planet. They had to contact Obi Wan as well the others and head over to the planet, figure out what was going on.
Later at the moon of Mandalore
On the where Deathwatch as well the syndicate formed, the masters of evil made their attack. Making sure to kill everyone who might be there as guard or if Pre Vizsla might call in for back up. Looking around the camp, they cleared almost everything, Ventress. Herself looked over at how much they had done, along how that Evil has been keeping a eye on the planet let alone of how the overthrow went as progress.
"I assume, you wish to step in now."
She asked Evil who was right now setting up that of a holographic monitor for them to check up on one of their puppets Headcase has under his control. For hours watching the planet as well how each minute passed, Mandalore slowly turned away from the pacifist Duchess, to the battle ready Deathwatch. It surprised Ventress how a planet turned away from their caring leader, to that of a aggressive leader. Soon enough, there was a spark to which made Evil smile at the sight.
"Not yet, because. We're getting to the best part, of a old fashion villain team up. The betrayal, something you've been involved in. Except now, we get to enjoy the show."
Telling her about how it wasn't their time yet, along coming over was that of Hoodlum. Who found some drinks for them to which the four soon see that threw the eyes of one of the controlled members. They saw how Mandalore had chosen Vizsla in the throne along the rest of Deathwatch in the room, soon enough they noticed that of one of them being chocked. Force chocked as it showed they had betrayed Maul, throwing the body away. The doors burst wide open showing that of Maul, along with his brother and another man in the room as they looked at Pre Vizsla.
"I challenge you, one warrior to another, and only the strongest shall rule Mandalore!"
Maul speaking out towards the leader, in which this had to be a callout for rule. The masters watched at this display of authority, to which Pre Vizsla merely nodded to him. Informing one of his members to hand back Maul's lightsaber, igniting it a red glow came out as well Maul growling at the Mandalorian. Pre Vizsla, pulled out his weapon to which he ignites it showing a black blade.
"For Mandalore!"
He cried out as the two soon engaged in combat, both saber wielding men battled each other for the rule of Mandalore. Ventress, saw how the two clashed on the holographic screen while Evil smiling at the sight. While Dooku and his master were considered ruthless and cold blooded, this was twisted. Watching two men battle over a planet as well for them to see which would rule, which he didn't care for. All Evil wanted was a fight, a fight which would decide the fate of the war.
"I'm already betting Maul will win. The look on his face proves he's ready to kill."
Hoodlum showing some credits at the sight of the fight, everyone looked at how the men clashed. Trading saber to saber, both of them were trying to win. However, what determine the win of the battle. Was Maul catching him with his jet pack, as well using gadgets and small explosives. Maul had the force, in which would always dominate in any battle.
"It was fool's choice in him fighting Maul. Should have calculate a plan first."
Headcase stated as soon enough, with a quick slash Maul destroyed Vizsla's jetpack sending him down to the ground. Everyone in the court room was shocked at the sight this defeat. Maul, making sure it lasted begun to brutally beat him as well kick him to the throne. Having the man try to stand, Maul took the dark saber from the side as well ignites it.
"Like you said, only the strongest shall rule."
Vizsla announced as well accepting his death, quickly enough with one swing. Maul cleaved his head from his body killing the leader in a instant, everyone in the room was shocked at the sight. As well how Maul had now declared himself under the rule of combat, he now rules the team and now has control over Mandalore.
"Never! No outsider will ever rule Mandalore."
Bo Katan shouting out to Maul, along how that Maul merely smirked at this treason and ordered her as well anyone else that stood with her. Shutting off the screen, they could already tell what might happen next.
"Now, we just have to wait for Obi wan to come. Possibly the Wild Force, and lastly but not least. Sidious."
Evil claimed that this will draw out Dooku's master, with this type of conflict on a planet that isn't align with the Republic or Separatists. It's history with the Jedi, along the lines of a Sith warrior going rogue and taking over a planet. It would get his attention fast, Asajj, was still in disbelief of what his goal was. Informing Hoodlum and Headcase to get ready, Evil decided to check for anything else they could get here.
"What's the endgame Evil, what do you achieve from this destruction?"
Asking directly towards him, as well had enough of this cryptic plan of his. Evil, could feel the confusion in this madness as well how it will benefit them. The man turns to her, as well decides to hold her close which surprised Ventress.
"Revolution, for people to wake up from the Separatists, as well Republic. To break rules, to show that in any galaxy. Evil, can be used free everyone. As well for them to enjoy the galaxy, that's. My Endgame, for me to end Sidious. And to have this galaxy cut loose."
Telling Ventress close of how he wanted to have everyone wake up from the deception, let alone of how this war was made from lies. By a Sith lord who would control everything when it was all over, but would soon fall to that of a element he couldn't control.
"As well for you, to have revenge. Against everyone, who's hurt you."
Promising her about how being used by Dooku and that of his master would be punished, Ventress. Didn't know how to answer it, or rather deal with the people they had to kill in order to achieve this victory. Feeling the weight of his words, Ventress kept silent as well would be ready for the fall of Sidious. In which when it happen, things would never be the same.
