A/N:Whoa long time! So sorry but here's a new chapter to bite into! I'll be posting a new chapter at least once a week now that I'm free. This chapter's for snips21, Eragonfan33, ahsoka1996, Tomson321, flooda53, ziandra, AelitaOfTheWolves, station09 and Mico10052. And as always read, review, follow and favorite!

"That was kind of far-fetched, don't you think? True, I came back to life, sort of, on Mortis, but all the three powerful force users I met there, including the woman who resurrected me, are dead" Ahsoka said, hands crossed inside the carrier. It was spacious and Rex was comfortable but the problem of the inhibitor chip still worried him. He needed Fives. He just knew it. Rex looked at Marty and Phantom, who were also in on the conversation-they were Rex's most trusted men. Marty and Phantom looked at Rex and then each other before getting the message and walking away.

Ahsoka raised her eyebrows, surprised and turned to Rex inquiringly. Rex spoke.
"I know it was a long shot, but you were in distress and you needed help. Also…I just wanted to see you after all this time"
"Seriously? That's why you sent them away?" Ahsoka said smiling. Rex couldn't help but think how cute she looked when she smiled that. Rex shook his head. What was wrong with him?
"No! I just want to know whether you know anything that might help?-" Rex said letting his statement hang.
"Something confidential?" Ahsoka asked and Rex nodded his head.
"Well…I have heard about this place-"
Rex smiled, "I knew I could count on you!"
"Don't get your hopes up, it's just a rumor. And it's on Mandalore"
Rex groaned. "No, just no…"
"It is your choice"
Rex sighed. "Let's get this done with"

"So where now, your Highness?" Rex asked Ahsoka. He was robed in a long brown cloak that covered his face. The others who were accompanying him, Ahsoka, Spitz, Phantom and Keenys were clad similarly. Marty had stayed back in their carrier for a speedy getaway. An imperial carrier would certainly be conspicuous, especially because it was stolen.
"We're almost there. I remember when I was here, when I saw it then I just taught it was an old musty building" Ahsoka answered softly.
"So how did you find out about this place?" Spitz asked.
"The Jedi Temple holds a lot of secrets. Keep in mind this isn't the final destination. They'll just tell us where to go to resurrect your friend"
"You're sure they'll be complying?" Phantom asked.
"No" Ahsoka answered firmly.
"Well if we aren't getting the information peacefully, we're getting it forcefully" Rex said grimly

"Is that the building?" Keenys asked pointing further up.
In a few minutes, everyone could see it.

"Is this place ancient …" Phantom mused.
"Now let's get in" Rex said as he approached the mansion, for it was one.

It stood moderately high amongst the nearby buildings but none were as old and unkempt as the mansion was. It was pale green (once, perhaps as green as grass) and with broken doors that once were the face of the mansion's past grandeur.

"Why doesn't anybody just…walk in? It's a wonder it hasn't been renovated or destroyed! Are you sure this is the place?" Spitz questioned Ahsoka.
"This place is said to be haunted. Those who enter never return. And I am sure this is the place" Ahsoka said.
Spitz snickered. "That sounds like it came out of a book. I can't believe you're saying this"
"Neither can I" Rex added.
Ahsoka scowled."You too? We'll find out when we get in"

Ahsoka, Spitz and Keenys slipped inside into the darkness with Rex and Phantom about to follow before Phantom turned around and saw her. Acting as shady as his crew was, she had short red hair.

She met Phantom's eyes and smiled. Phantom turned towards Rex. Rex smiled and motioned for him to go. Rex wanted Phantom to be happy.

"Echo" Spitz said as they entered the mansion and amusingly enough, his words echoed, several times.
And then the entrance started to close. From above, a large slab of granite, that fit exactly for the entrance started to descend.
"Oh no" Rex said running back towards the dying light. But he was too late.
"Guess we're alone here in the darkness. Just us four" Rex said grimly.
"Four?" Spitz said questioningly.
"Phantom…he's out dealing with something personal"
"Well four's more than enough in the dark, though two would be better" Spitz said grinning. Of course, no one could see his grin.
Rex shook his head and Keenys smiled but Ahsoka appeared to be oblivious to Spitz's words.
"It won't be dark for long" Ahsoka said taking out her light saber.
Spitz whistled.
"Bodies" Keenys said solemnly. Fifty bodies or so, some with more flesh than others, sprawled across the floor. "Now we know what happened to everyone"
Ahsoka traced their steps back to the entrance and tried to pierce through the slab to no avail.
"I can't" Ahsoka said. "I don't know why. It just isn't going through to the other side"
Ahsoka bent down and knocked on the dusty wooden floor. It was hollow.
"Below!" Ahsoka whispered and cut a hole through. Underneath them was a black and empty lighted room.

"Now what?" Keenys asked as they jumped down. This time the floor was solid.
"I bet there's a door somewhere here" Rex said looking around.
"Good thinking" Ahsoka said feeling the walls for hooks of any sort.

"Found one!" Keenys said as he pulled a small black hook that had been camouflaged by the wall color. The 'door' itself was the size of a window, but more surprising then that was the piercing brightness on the other side. Every single one of them turned around but the light had already left a searing pain in their eyes.

"Aagh!" Spitz said in pain.
"Looks like I wasn't the only one to be hit by that light" Rex said still holding his eyes.
Keenys opened his eyes. "That wasn't so bad" he said cheerfully.
"Easy for you to say" Ahsoka said her eyes still fuzzy. She along with the rest moved away from the window of light. She couldn't believe how much all of them wanted this radiance so much five minutes ago.
"Is there anyone there?!" Rex shouted.
"Yes…you could say that" a soft and soothing voice replied from inside the window.
"Who are you?" Ahsoka asked.
A proud laugh from inside the window. "Well, you could see, get blind and tell your fellow comrades-if you're brave enough…"
"I'll do it" Keenys said firmly. "My eyes are much better then all of yours. No offence"
"None taken. I would reprimand you but I can see you're going to go through with this anyway."
"I am" Keenys said and looked through the light. He couldn't see anyone. He put his head through and looked left and saw. Keenys' eyes burned and he screamed. His comrades pulled him back out.

"I can't…I can't see!" Keenys said feeling around for them.
Ahsoka, Rex and Spitz looked at each other.
Another proud laugh from inside. "I probably should have told you. If you make eye-contact with me you meet your worst fear. Amusingly enough, your friend's worst fear is blindness. So I made his wish…come true"
Rex's face was grim and full of anger. "Who the hell's that joker inside?" Rex asked Keenys.
"It's…it's tough to say. It's a male. He's green with a golden mask that covers the boundaries of his face. I couldn't see his body. Just his eyes. His black horrid eyes"
And with that, twenty skeletons entered the room. All with a killing look in their eyes.
Rex looked to Ahsoka. He would normally not ask her for advice deeming himself more experienced but there was no time for pride to come in the way.
"Now what?" Rex asked desperately. All that gave him hope was a happy Phantom.
"We fight" Ahsoka replied grimly.

"You're not from around here, are you?" the woman asked Phantom. They were having a mid-day meal and Phantom tried to think of it as a date

"No but you are right?" Phantom asked as he picked up his food.
"Yeah." She answered simply.
"So….Bo" Phantom said trying out her name for the first time. "Would you mind showing me around here?"
"Of course!" she answered getting up. "Though Mandalore isn't what it used to be, I'll do my best"
They both got up.
Phantom couldn't be happier.

Ahsoka kicked the skeletal man away but he wasn't going to back away quickly. He returned, his spear raised high and Ahsoka parried it with her light saber. She force pushed him away just as two other men reached her from behind. She blocked one but the other advanced, threatening to kill. Then with a blast, it exploded.
Rex was on the other side of the ash holding his own against two other men.
"Aim for the hip! That's their weak zone!"
Ahsoka smiled. Something about the way Rex fought made her feel…happy? She wasn't sure.
"Right!" Ahsoka said and pierced her light saber through two skeletons' hips. One of them was destroyed while the other appeared to be in pain but continued to fight. Ahsoka whipped off its head but it rejoined.
"Not working!" Ahsoka shouted as two more came up on her.
"Keep trying!" Spitz shouted. He was protecting Keenys against three oncoming skeletons. Keenys shot his blaster and to his delight, he landed a hit right on the hip and the skeleton exploded. Keenys laughed despite his situation. "My other senses have improved! I guess you can call me Keensense now!"
Spitz aimed at a skeletal hip but that skeleton too wasn't blasted.
"Looks like there are different tiers of skeletons. The easiest can be blasted in their hips" Spitz said.
Rex was facing the same difficulty. "Looks like we've got rid of the easiest six. Fourteen more to go."
Ahsoka knew that there wasn't going to be a shortcut to defeat the rest of the skeletons. She force-pushed one of them into a wall before cutting off its limbs. Noticing the limbs trying to rejoin she crushed them and picked up the spear. The limbs still managed to rejoin but the spear, the spear destroyed the skeleton.
"The spear! Their spears can destroy themselves!" Ahsoka told the other three.

"Genius!" Rex said before rolling behind a skeleton and pulling the spear into the skeleton. "Boom!" Rex shouted. "Twelve more to go! That gives us around four each not counting Keenys!"
Rex turned around. Six surrounded Spitz and Keenys(or Keensense, either way his name's dumb. Rex had often thought about giving the poor soldier a new name. Perhaps Rahm Kota would do him well. No, I'm just kidding!).
Rex cursed. "Why them?" he muttered under his breath. Three had gone for him and three for Ahsoka. They had probably figured out that Keenys was the weakest.

"Now may not be the best time to tell you this" the man inside the window said. "But these soldiers are actually the bodies of men and women who've died here of starvation. So you're actually…killing the last essence of innocent people. You see…in one way, I am a necromancer"
Rex stopped fighting for a moment. It couldn't be. But then he continued. "No! He's lying! Keep fighting! He controls their bodies! They are dead!" Rex said shooting two skeletons simultaneously. He took a spear and skewered one of them but the other two beat him to the ground. Rex rolled escaping their spears.

His team got the message and continued to fight. Ahsoka skillfully pushed two away and pummeled the other. Spitz killed one of the skeletons with a spear he has taken from a previous skeleton after parrying bravely with it, but it was easy to see that he was getting overwhelmed. Two skeletons found their mark, Spitz's left hand (the one he used more) and the other in his waist. Thankfully, the waist hit wasn't deep. Spitz shrieked in pain. Keenys meanwhile, had been knocked out cold.
The man in the bright room laughed. "You may believe that these bodies are dead but look on, your friend is dying. I ask all of you, what are you fighting for? Think of that for a minute. You are fighting for that Captain of yours' selfish dreams. Think about all of you've had to go through thanks to him. Just surrender and I promise you'll have a peaceful life without any suffering.

"NEVER!" Spitz shouted taking two spears into his right hand and skewering two skeletons at one go. However the other two got the better of him and knocked him on the ground. Both raised their spears for a final blow, and both of them were skewered from the back. Rex and Ahsoka stood there grinning.

"I'll never forget what you did here. " Rex said pulling Spitz up. He shook his head. "This is all my fault. Spitz's injuries, Keenys' blindness…I wish I could say I'm sorry but I can't because that wouldn't cover how guilty I feel"
"Don't" three voices said simultaneously. Spitz's, Keenys' and…the man inside the window. Rex remembered not to look but was surprised.
"Don't worry. Their wounds can be healed. Call me… Sentinel. You have passed the test. You and your teammates have shown me bravery and courage. Because of that, I'm giving each one of you, one piece of knowledge you wish to know. I have access to vast knowledge, isn't that why you came?"
"Um yes." Rex said but wasn't sure whether to carry on with his plans fearing any more injuries his comrades might face.
"Go on with it" Ahsoka whispered to Rex. "We're all with you" she said and smiled. Rex nodded and cleared his throat.
"Where can I resurrect a person?"
"Oh my." The sentinel said. "That is in fact impossible for the force wielders, well they died. My king actually knew The Father well. They were pals you see…well I'm getting off topic. The best one can do now is bring one back to life for a matter of ten or twenty seconds. You can find the men you're searching for on the planet here" he said pushing a holo out of his window. Rex checked it before pocketing it.
"Will the people there be peaceful?"
"If you ask nicely!" The Sentinel replied. "Next!"
Keenys moved forward. "Where can I heal my blindness?"
"Waste of a question. Same planet, same people"
"Uggh" Keenys replied.
Ahsoka moved up forward. She turned back. "Can you all move back? I have something private to ask?"
"Fine" Rex said and they moved as far away from Ahsoka as they could.

They could barely here the Sentinel reply, "Yes" when they returned.
Spitz went next. "How can I get stronger?"

Keenys groaned. "You could've asked anything in this world and you went with that."
Spitz shrugged. "Felt like. Besides I still have that battle with Pat"
"You brought that upon yourself" Keenys said reminding Spitz.

Rex raised his eyebrows. There was still a lot he didn't know about his bunch of soldiers.
The Sentinel replied. "Move back all of you"
"Great! Another private answer!" Rex said raising his hands up in protest
The Sentinel looked at Spitz, through that wasn't mutual. "You can only tell this information to three people, at the most, and they can't tell the information to anyone else. If they or you break these rules you'll forget the location and lose your gained strength. Spitz nodded. The Sentinel passed him a holo.

"So what did you ask the Sentinel?" Rex asked.
"Nothing" Ahsoka replied. Was it just Rex or did she blush when she said that?
"I'll tell you one day" Ahsoka added.

"View this in private" The Sentinel said and Spitz pocketed the holo. He could not believe that the Sentinel had given him that. A man he had never ever seen, a man who he only knew by Keenys' description.
"Get going all of you. I wish all of you…good luck"

And with that, the four of them left, not knowing what more to expect.
