Chapter 22: The Future of the Force
In Space...
A passenger ship was departing from the planet Chandel.
Inside the Passenger Ship...
An old woman called Darja was holding her infant granddaughter, Alora.
"There, there, Alora."Darja cooed. "We're away from trouble now. A new life awaits us both."
Suddenly the ship started to rock violently, scaring the passangers.
"It's the Empire!"A man shouted. "They're seizing the ship! We need to get out of here!"
In Space...
The passenger ship got captured by an Imperial-class Star Destroyer.
Inside the Passenger Ship...
The Seventh Sister and the Fifth Brother appeared inside the ship.
"This is a civilian transport."A passenger stated. "We were granted clearance for takeoff."
The Seventh Sister uses the force to throw the passenger against the wall and sends her ID9 seeker droid to pin him.
"I'm afraid it's been canceled."the Seventh Sister retorted. "As fortune would have it, you carry a cargo of great interest to us."
Darja tried to escape by opening a door, but the Fifth Brother used to the force to shut it tight.
Alora began to cry more seeing the two inquisitors.
"No! No!"Darja shouted. "Keep away!"
"Fear not, old one. We wish to make friends."the Seventh Sister said evilly and looked at the Fifth Brother. "But first we have some business to attend to."
The Fifth Brother ignites his lightsaber and sets the blades spinning, throwing it down the corridor at the ship's passengers.
In Garel...
Ferus and Ahsoka walked up to Kanan.
"This is unexpected."Kanan admitted. "Don't get me wrong. It's always good to see you. But usually it means there's trouble."
"What we have to say is Jedi business."Ahsoka replied.
"Then I guess I qualify."Kanan added.
"You qualify more than I do."Ahsoka remarked.
"I've been monitoring and intercepting any high value transmissions from the Empire, as well as Mustafar, to learn more about Darth Vader."Ferus stated.
"And?"Kanan asked.
"Information about him eludes me, but me and Ferus learned more about his Inquisitors."Ahsoka said. "It seems they have a secondary mission to make retrievals."
"We know they hunt Jedi, so what else are they after?"Kanan asked.
"At this point, I could only guess."Ahsoka replied.
"I managed to decode two sets of coordinates."Ferus commented. "I on my way to investigate the first one and Ahsoka will check the second."
"And you want me to check out the third?"Kanan said with a smile. "I'm in."
"You should have Ezra join you."Ahsoka suggested.
Kanan chuckled. "He's already briefed on the mission."
He pressed a button causing the doors to open and Ezra dropped on the floor.
"Hey!"Ezra said with a sheepish smile as he stood up. "Ahsoka did say this was Jedi business."
Ferus rolled his eyes at him.
"Bring Zeb as well."Ahsoka responded. "He proved himself against the Inquisitors before."
"So, where are we going?"Ezra asked.
In Space...
The Defender Class Light Corvette flew towards Corulag.
In Corulag...
The Defender Class Light Corvette landed at Curamelle, the capital city of Corulag.
The ramp lowered causing Ferus and Lisa to come out of the ship.
R2-KT beeped at the two jedi.
"KT, we will contact you just as soon as we find the infant."Ferus stated.
R2-KT let out a grumpy beep before the ramp of the ship closed.
"Thanks for your good luck."Lisa said sarcastically.
Ferus and Lisa began to walk into the city.
The Phantom arrived on the planet Takobo.
When the Phantom landed Zeb, Ezra, Kanan and Chopper came out.
"Did Ahsoka say exactly what we were looking for?"Zeb asked.
"No."Kanan replied. "She just said we have to get whatever it is before the Inquisitors do. Chopper, you have those coordinates?"
Chopper showed a hologram of the house units in Takobo.
"Housing units?"Ezra said. "What would Inquisitors want there?"
"I doubt they're renting."Kanan responded and looked at Zeb. "Zeb, you take a look around the spaceports for the Inquisitors' ship. If they're already here, I'd like to know."
"Don't worry."Zeb assured and took out two detonators. "If I find any sign of 'em, you'll hear about it."
"Bring Chopper."Kanan stated. "Stay in touch."
Meanwhile...
Ahsoka arrived at the other coordinates and found the ship the Inquisitors attacked earlier adrift in space.
Once aboard, the female torguta found the ship severely damaged and deserted, but find Darja alive.
"Help."Darja said weakly.
"I'm here."Ahsoka replied as she bend down. "It's okay. You're safe now."
"Help me."Darja cried. "Help my grandchild."
"Your grandchild?"Ahsoka asked.
"They took her."Darja responded. "The red blades, they knew that she has it."
"Find her."Darja begged. "She has it-"
"Shh...rest."Ahsoka instructed. "You need to rest. I will find her."
Back at Corulag...
Ferus and Lisa were walking in the streets.
"So what is exactly we're looking for?"Lisa asked.
"The inquisitors having recently kidnapping young infants from different planets and our mission is to find the infant that is in this city before the inquisitors do."Ferus explained.
"Why would the inquisitors kidnap innocent babies?"Lisa questioned.
"To teach them the way of the dark side."Ferus replied.
Lisa gulped nervously.
The two jedi notice a hotel building with a badly damaged door causing them to go inside to investigate.
Ferus and Lisa went inside the hotel, finding it deserted and messy.
The two jedi carefully walked quietly as they went up the stairs.
In the walls there were red paint slashes, but both Ferus and Lisa knew it wasn't paint.
The duo reached up the stairs and found a female pink skinned selkath lying on the floor.
"Are you okay?"Ferus asked in concern.
The female selkath spoke to Ferus.
"What is she saying?"Lisa asked quietly.
"Please protect my son."Ferus translated. "He has it."
The female selkath fell to unconsciousness.
Lisa inside a cradle and sees a yellow skinned male selkath baby sleeping.
"Aw, poor thing."Lisa said sadly.
"Qeron."Ferus said. "That's his name."
Lisa carefully picked up Qeron and he started crying a little.
"Shh...it's okay."Lisa replied. "Your safe now."
Qeron calmed down and closed his eyes.
Ferus suddenly sensed something causing him to get alarmed.
"Get down!"Ferus shouted.
Lisa dropped down as laser fire was shot from outside.
Ferus and Lisa started making a run for it with a crying Qeron causing them to confront Lady Shade.
"Welcome jedi."Lady Shade greeted and activated her blood lightsabers. "Are you ready to die?"
"Lisa, run."Ferus ordered as he activated his lightsaber.
"But-"Lisa started.
"Go!"Ferus demanded.
Lisa nodded and went out of the hotel with Qeron safely in her arms.
Ferus and Lady Shade launched towards each other and started duelling each other.
Back at Takobo...
Kanan and Ezra were running in the city after getting Zeb's call.
"This is grid nine."Kanan said. "Tower should be just ahead."
"Kanan, stop!"Ezra warned.
Kanan and Ezra hid behind a building as the Seventh Sister's probe droid floating by.
"This is definitely the place."Ezra said quietly.
When the probe droid looked the other way, Kanan and Ezra entered the building to find Zeb and Pypey.
The two jedi went inside the apartment and started looking around while carefully avoiding being spotted by the two inquisitors.
"Hey!"Zeb called out. "Over here."
Kanan and Ezra went inside the room finding Zeb with the infant ithorian, Pypey.
"How's the baby?"Kanan asked.
"Quiet, for the moment."Zeb replied.
"Let's see him."Ezra suggested.
"I wouldn't if I were you."Zeb warned. "It'll just start shrieking again."
Pypey began to cry in fear when he sees Ezra.
"I told you not to disturb him."Zeb growled.
"I was trying to be nice."Ezra responded.
"Well, try holding him."Kanan answered while gritting his teeth. "You have the talent to connect, use it."
Ezra picked up Pypey and tried to calm him down with the force, but failed to.
"What's wrong with it?"Ezra asked.
"Ezra, you have to be calm to keep him calm."Kanan stated.
"Don't you think I'm trying?"Ezra questioned. "I don't know what to do with him."
"Whatever you're doing, stop it!"Zeb scoffed.
"You are making it worse!"Ezra snapped.
Kanan suddenly felt a disturbance coming from where Zeb was standing.
"Zeb!"Kanan shouted. "Get back, now!"
Zeb and Ezra went out the way as the inquisitors started to spike them out with their lightsabers.
"Where to now?"Zeb asked.
Kanan and Ezra looked up.
"Only one way left."Ezra admitted and handed Pypey to Zeb. "Hold him!"
Kanan and Ezra activated their lightsabers to cut an entrance to the next apartment above them.
The three quickly climbed up to the next apartment.
"I've got something they can retrieve."Zeb said as he took out a detonator.
Zeb dropped the detonator to the bottom floor causing the rebels to leave.
But then the detonator was brought to the rebels.
"Move, move!"Ezra shouted.
The three rebels quickly escaped as the detonator exploded.
Pypey continued crying in Ezra's arms.
"Come on, Pypey."Ezra said. "If you keep this up, we'll never shake them."
"Wait!"Kanan replied. "Maybe that can buy us time. Keep moving and keep your comlink on."
Back in Corulag...
Lisa was riding on a stolen speeder car while Qeron was buckled up in the seat next to her.
The blonde haired girl notice a bunch of stormtroopers in speeder bikes chasing and firing their blasters at her.
"I really don't need this right now!"Lisa shouted in anger.
Ferus was running in the roofs of the city buildings before jumping down and landing on his daughter's speeder car.
"Dad!"Lisa remarked in relief.
"Keep driving, kiddo!"Ferus instructed. "This is far from over!"
Ferus used his lightsaber to deflect the lasers of the stormtroopers before using the force to shove a few away.
Suddenly the Defender Class Light Corvette flew down and fired at the shuttle that was giving chase behind the speeder bikes causing it to explode.
"Nice timing, KT!"Lisa chuckled and picked up Qeron.
"The infant's mother is inside the ship."Ferus admitted. "Get ready because I am going to throw you!".
"What?!"Lisa demanded.
Ferus used the force to lift up Lisa and threw her to the ramp of the corvette.
Lisa sighed in relief, seeing she and Qeron were safely on the ship.
Ferus notice his speeder was heading to a dead end causing him to do a big leap and landed safely onto the ship before the ramp closed.
An unharmed Lady Shade slowly went out of the burned shuttle and watched as the rebel corvette flew out of sight.
At Takobo...
Ezra ran to the locked door while holding Pypey.
"Let me in, Chopper! Paranoid droid!"Ezra growled and took out his comlink. "The door is locked, Kanan! The door is locked!"
"I'm a little preoccupied at the moment!"
Kanan and Zeb tried to fight the two inquisitors, but got quickly defeated.
Ezra bravely took out his lightsaber while holding Pypey in his other arm.
"I don't have time to waste on you, child."the Seventh Sister scoffed.
The Seventh Sister threw Ezra against the wall using the force.
Suddenly before the Inquisitors could take Pypey, Ahsoka emerged from the spaceport, ready to fight the Inquisitors.
"Unexpected, but not unwelcome."Seventh Sister replied.
"Ezra, get the youngling to the ship."Ahsoka ordered.
Ezra nodded and Ahsoka gave him a wink.
Ahsoka leapt up and started fighting the two inquisitors.
"Come on, guys! Guys!"Ezra protested. "Get up! Get up! We gotta get moving!"
"What about Ahsoka?"Kanan asked.
"She's doing fine."Ezra assured.
Ezra, Kanan and Zeb quickly left the area as Ahsoka fought the Seventh Sister.
"I know why you want the children."Ahsoka said with a glare.
"Well, who doesn't want to be a mother?"Seventh Sister questioned.
Inside the Phantom...
"We gotta go back for her."Kanan stated.
"If we get airborne, I bet she'll just come to us."Ezra suggested.
In Takobo...
Ahsoka effortlessly took out the Fifth Brother twice and then turned her attention to the Seventh Sister.
Finished playing around with her, Ahsoka turns off her own lightsabers and takes a meditative stance.
Seeing an opportunity, the Seventh Sister tried to attack Ahsoka.
But Ahsoka caught the Seventh Sister's lightsaber hilt with her bare hands and then used the force to turn the blades off, leaving the Seventh Sister in absolute disbelief.
Ahsoka then force pushed the Seventh Sister into a pillar, defeating her.
"You are beaten."Ahsoka said coldly while pointing her white lightsaber at the female inquisitor.
"Move in!"
Imperial reinforcements arrived and surround Ahsoka.
"It looks like you are the one that is beaten."Seventh Sister said smugly.
The Seventh Sister summoned her double blade weapon back to her causing Ahsoka to jump back.
"Hmm, your capture will please Lord Vader."Seventh Sister replied with a smirk.
"Tell your master he'll have to wait."Ahsoka admitted with a smirk.
The Fifth Brother threw his lightsaber at Ahsoka, but she dodged it.
Ahsoka used the force to jump aboard the Phantom and escape capture.
The two inquisitors were left staring after the escaping shuttle, fuming over their defeat.
Inside the Phantom...
Pypey was reunited with his mother, Oora while Zeb carefully held Alora.
"That was crazy, but worth it."Zeb chuckled.
"They're Force sensitive."Ahsoka responded. "I've seen this before. A Sith Lord attempted the same thing back in the Clone Wars, but the Jedi Order stopped him."
"And now there's no Jedi Order to protect them."Kanan said with a hint of sadness.
Ahsoka and Kanan smiled at the infants that were now safe from harm.
"Okay, I guess that task falls to us now."Kanan commented.
Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter:)
