Chapter 9: Another Force Sensitive

Meanwhile

Third Person P.O.V

A TIE advanced touched down on a Kaminoan platform, a dark robed figure approaching it to meet with whoever it was that arrived. The figure took a knee in front of the fighter in the pouring rain, waiting for the pilot to exit his fighter. The pilot stepped out of the fighter, revealing Lord Vader.

"Lord Vader, I was expecting your arrival." said the figure. Lord Vader didn't respond and walked past the figure, breathing heavily. The figure got up and followed him, keeping pace with the dark lord. "We have had a bit of a rather...troubling situation occurring before you arrived."

"Are they here?" Lord Vader asked.

"The rebels?"

"Yes. Them."

"They are."

"Good. It looks like one of your clones who you sent to Tatooine attracted the padawan then, Von."

"Indeed, Lord Vader. However, there was something else that occurred unfortunately."

Lord Vader stopped and turned to Von before saying, "And that was?"

"The clone of your former apprentice has broken free. He has unfortunately rebelled against me. I had my clone of the Mandalorian member of the rebel team deal with him, but she was rather unlucky, but did survive, at the time at least. I sent her to a bacta tank, but then Ezra Bridger arrived and I sent her to deal with him and his team. Unfortunately, the real Mandalorian member took her out of the picture. And the clone of your apprentice has taken out another clone of mine."

"It seems as though your clones are rather useless."

"It is beginning to seem that way, my lord."

"Do not fail me, Von! For you know what you are told!"

"Yes, Lord Vader."

They entered the facility.

"I have come for my own reasons, my own personal reasons. My apprentice."

"I will go and deal with them, Lord Vader."

"DO NOT FAIL ME!"

"Yes, Lord Vader."

They parted ways, with Von heading down the halls, feeling a familiar force presence. "I'm here. I can sense myself." Von said to himself under his cloaked robes. However, he felt another force signature, and he smiled when he knew what it was. He followed the other force signature, and, the door hissing open upon entry, Von found himself in front of an imperial shadow guard. Dressed in the same type of armor as seen with the Imperial Royal Guard but darker and with a red visor, and armed with a lightsaber pike with a crimson blade, the guard bowed his head.

"They are here. We must move for them. Make your way to the rebels, I shall join you soon." Von instructed the guard. The silent guard nodded and took off, with Von, slowly, following him.

The guard concentrated his mind as he followed the force signatures of the jedi present here, and the clone of Galen Marek. Just beyond the door in front of him was his target.

Ezra's P.O.V

"You guys feel that?" I asked the others, feeling like someone else was here.

"Yeah. I have a feeling it's Von." Kanan replied. Starkiller drew his lightsabers with me and Kanan doing the same thing, waiting for the enemy to arrive. If this was Von, then it really ends here, all of this. However, when the door opened, it wasn't him by the looks of things.

"An imperial guard?" Alex asked.

"But, they wear red armor usually." Sabine replied.

"Something tells me that this isn't an imperial guard." Zeb replied, aiming his rifle. The guard didn't do anything and just stood there, eyeing the three of us under his red visor. Then, he took five steps forward. Starkiller, Kanan, and I raised our sabers. The guard pulled out some kind of long weapon and a red lightsaber blade was activated. The guard then did some spins with it as he advanced a couple of steps forward, then stopped, his weapon being gripped tightly.

Starkiller was the first to swing at the guard, swinging both of his blades with the guard blocking all of them swiftly, then force pushed him to the ground. I rushed in and had him pinned while on the floor with me trying to get into him as I pushed against his blade. I grunted as I continued doing so, until the guard kicked me off of him and came at him, me and him engaged in a blade lock. "Ezra!" I heard Starkiller call out. He pulled the guard towards him with the force, electrocuting him with force lightening, then with one stroke of his blade, he slashed the guard's mask in the half, with the guard on the floor, grunting.

The three of us looked down at him, then the guard force pushed the three of us against the wall, pinning us there with the force. He eyed us, one half of his face showing a pale face with a bright yellow eye. He paced around us, then stopped at his mask, then picked it up, placing it on his face. He was approaching us, swinging his weapon as he approached us. "Hey you!" Alex yelled at the guard suddenly. The guard turned to Alex, with Specter 7 raising his wrist blasters at the guard.

He fired something from his wrist blasters, which turned out to be rope that was fired at the guard's legs, tying them up. He then collapsed, with Kanan, Starkiller and me now free. The guard somehow broke free and attempted to come at Alex, until Starkiller caught him with the force, then, keeping him in mid air, threw one of his lightsabers at him. The lightsaber went for his torso, striking the guard there. The guard screamed out in pain before he collapsed to the floor, dead. "Thanks for the save back there, Alex." Kanan said.

"At least my mods come in handy." he replied, retracting his rope into his wrist blasters.

"Come on, let's keep going." Starkiller said. We followed him, continuing the mission.
