A/N: Hi guys. First of all, this chapter will be based on the same thing as it's equivalent in the series: Finding Kanan (and Demo by the way), but completely different events will take place. I followed the suggestions of keys of fate, who is helping me with the story a lot.
Soldier: You are a true American, keys of fate! You will protect this world from some lousy non-Americans!
Me: HEY! I'm not American and I feel good with it (no offense, Americans)!
Soldier: WHAT?! I will have your ass kicked for such insults, MAGGOT!
Me: (running away) Someone help me! A crazy patriot wants to kill me!
Scout: (suddenly appearing) BONK!
Soldier: (hit in the head with the bat) Owwww!
Me: Thanks, Scout.
Scout: Yeah, ya owe me one. Now you need to somehow transport Miss Pauling into this universe.
Me: Uhh no. I'm not planning this.
Solider: MEDIC!
Medic: (entering the room) What zhe-oh dummkopfs!
So here you have a little conversation. This time without rebels. I think, I'm gonna do it for every chapter. BUT, there is a chapter waiting for you below, so now you can read it.
The Ghost, No-one's POV.
The Ghost crew and RED team were desperately searching for ways to find their kidnapped friends. Both teams decided to work separately to increase the chance for finding the information. But one day something changed. Spy overheard the conversation that Hera didn't ordered to stop the searches for Kanan. Since RED team wasn't in fact part of their crew, they disobeyed the order but were worried that they might not find the info on time. Fortunately they came up with a plan, but to fulfill it, they needed a device that Engineer was working on. Spy and Sniper were going to sneak to the Imperial complex to collect the data from the databases. Two main targets were the Agent Kallus' office and the command center. But they couldn't do it by just walking in.
Spy entered the house which they slept in and walked towards the Engineer.
"Iz the scanner ready?" he asked.
"Yeah, just finishing the casing. Ya don't want it to break after falling on the floor" Engie replied. He was working on the scanner that would synchronize with his disguise kit and let him disguise as anyone who was scanned.
"Then hurry up. As much as I don't like the Cyclops, I will not leave him in the hands of this madman." French said. As he tried to hide it, he was also affected by the lack of respawn. After all, his job was to not let people notice who he is.
Later, Spy's POV
At the late evening when the scanner was ready to use, Spy went to the city to find alone stormtrooper. After a half an hour, he found one. The guy went to the alley, probably to make his patrol route quicker. Spy immediately pulled out the scanner. It was a small disk in the size of a potato with scanning device on the middle and some buttons on the edge. The scan ended after three seconds and that meant the stormtrooper wasn't needed anymore. Spy approached him silently, opened his butterfly knife and stabbed him in the neck (A/N: Recommended song for this moment: Surprise buttsecks by Scoutellite), the only place not covered by armor.
"You've got blood on my suit" the assassin said. Then he turned on his communicator and said "Alright gentelmen, I've got one disguise. When we'll be in the complex I'll try to get more."
"About time, spook. I'm not gonna sit on this roof for ever." Sniper said while Spy hid the body of the stormtrooper, while taking his identification card and disguised as him, he took his blaster and went straight to the complex. While he approached the gate, one of the guards stopped him.
"You're late, TK-417" he said.
"There was some civilians who were talking about joining the rebelion. Someone needed to "tell" them that this is not a good idea" Spy said with the stormtrooper voice.
"Well then you are justified. Good work" the guad replied and let him in. Spy went to the nearest terminal with the map of the complex. When he found the emergency door which he will get Sniper in, he walked there and opened the door with his card. He looked around and hit the wall with the fist two times. Sniper jumped from the roof he was hiding on.
"About time, spook. The owners of the house almost noticed me twice." he said.
"Ok don't get too exited. We are going in." French said. Fortunately, now most of the troops were already in the barracks sleeping or on the patrol. They called the elevator on the top where Sniper was going to prepare for breaching the command center through the window.
"Alright Frenchie, I'm in position here. Just give me a signal if you'll need help and I'll show them the Australian justice." he said.
"You sound like that imbecile, Saxton Hale" Spy pointed out, still disguised.
"Not my fault that we're both Australians" bushman said. "And besides, I respect him whether you like it or not."
"Alright, just be ready" his companion said. He called the elevator and went on the third floor. He left the elevator and headed to the command center room and entered in.
"What are you doing here, trooper?" one of the commanders asked.
"I'm just here to deliver you the message that you have your break now." Spy said.
"But it starts in five minutes." he said with disbelief.
"Well it seems that the governor has his good day. I'm here to only pass the order and stay on guard while you have the break" the assassin said with the fake voice. Commanders looked at eachother and left one by one.
"Hey, pass the the message to the governor that we appreciate the concern." One of the officers said.
"I will." Spy said. When they all left, he raised the Sniper on the comm. "It went without complications. I'll get the data while you will watch out for anything suspicious."
"Alright mate, but if you'll end up dead, I will piss on your corpse" his friend joked. Spy rolled his eyes and started to search through the computers. For the first two minutes there was nothing about prisoners. He turned on the camera footage above the entrance door and two in the corridors just in case. He continued his searching but then heard the talk from the camera footage.
"You know that they captured the Jedi?" said one of the stormtroopers.
"Yeah, the governor himself took care of him. He is not in the Lothal prison right" said his friend.
"No."
"Do you know where he is?" he asked.
"Only the guys from the command center might know. These damn rebels destroyed the comm tower. Now we need to use these stupid droids to transport the data to the ship on the orbit. That is the second place where they might know where they took him" the first guy anwsered.
"If he will pay for his crimes against the Empire I don't care where he is." the second man commented. Spy just realized that they were about to enter the command center. Before he could turn himself invisible they opened the door.
"Hey what are you doing here? You are not allowed to check these computers" they said while aiming their weapons at him. But before anyone could do anything, Sniper jumped in through the window breaking the glass and yelling. "JARATE!"He threw the jar with yellow liquid at stormtroopers. The piss covered them both. They started to aim at the Sniper now.
"Freeze! Wait, what's that smell?" said one of them. Then he touched his helmet and looked like he was about to puke "Oh, by the Empire..." he said. Sniper took the opportunity, took out his Bushwacka and sliced through their armors like they were from butter (A/N: For those who don't know, Bushwacka deals critical hits instead of minicrits so Jarate gives guaranteed crits on target if using this mele weapon).
"No worries, mate!" he said.
"You disgust me, you filthy jarman" Spy said. "Let's get out of here. There is nothing here, but I know where to search the intel we need and i think one of the shuttles with the courier droids is departuring soon. I'll get on board cloaked and go get the intel from the Imperial cruiser on the orbit. I need you to get Hera to get me out of there if i will not find my own way out." Sniper looked at him not sure what to think but nodded.
"Okay mate, just watch yourself out there!" he said while he and the Spy who deactivated his disguise slided down on the line which Sniper said on the roof.
15 minutes later, landing area, No-one's POV
Spy was approaching the ship cloaked. When he reached it, Chopper painted like the courier droid appeared at the hangar entrance and headed to the shuttle. Spy as quietly as he could entered the ship.
He didn't recognize Chopper in his new colors but he could say that he saw this droid before.
"There is the courier, but where is his escort?" asked one of the guards.
"Not our problem. We're running late as it is." said his friend. "BN-749 to pilot: courier is aboard." That caught Spy's attention but he decided to bother later. He used his Cloak and Dagger to stay unnoticed for the whole ride. When they docked to the cruiser, he followed the Chopper who went straight to the bridge and Spy followed him. When he tried to cloak himself while invisible, Chopper turned back and looked around suspiciously. Droid stayed in this position for a while, but after a while he resumed his journey.
'That was close' French thought to himself. Spy waited for the data to be extracted to the system. He included a possiblity that this droid had the data they needed. He waited a while. He heard some voices talking about the droid's malfunction. Now Spy decided to take this risk. He decloaked and entered in as stormtrooper.
"Soldier, what are you doing he-" one of the officers asked but was interrupted by Spy's bullet piercing his head. The other officer reached for his pistol, but a knife in his throat stopped him before he could even touch it. The remaining personel shared the fate of the first guy. Then Spy turned towards Chopper who was really surprised by his appearance here. But then he started to feel scared when Spy pulled out an Electro-sapper. He pulled out his little hands and waved them like he was begging for mercy. The assassin was confused. No droid knew about his sappers except... and then it hit him.
"Chopper? What are you doing here?" he asked. Droid mumbled something what Spy couldn't understand. "Nevermind. Gather the data and tell your ride that whoever he is, he needs to take me as well." he said. Then he saw the Ghost shooting the cruiser. "Oh nevermind, but if you could be so nice, could you find me an escape route, because I think you gonna go through space." he added. The cruiser's cannons seemed to be a big problem for the Ghost. Fortunately Spy have found a solution. He placed one of his sappers on the console responsible for auto targeting. Cannons immediately ceased their fire. Chopper beeped happily and disconnected from the ship's database.
"You done? Good now how can I get out of here, cuz I don't go with you." Spy asked. Droid showed him the hologram of the route to the ship's escape pods. He looked at it and nodded while heading to the place where his ride was awaiting.
Meanwhile at the Ghost, Hera was still shooting the cruiser with the help of her crewmates and RED team. But when the cannons ceased fire, she raised Chopper on her comm.
"Chopper, don't know how you did it but I appreciate you deactivating these turrets." she said. Droid mumbled something but she understood perfectly.
"It wasn't your work?" Twi-lek asked. "Then who did that?" Chopper mumbled something again. This time Hera looked completely surprised.
"What do you mean, the Spy is on board?" she almost yelled at the comm. "And now he is going to escape the ship by escape pod?"
"I wanted to tell ya that, Sheila, but you didn't want to listen!" she heard Sniper through the comms. She felt bad that it happened but there were some more important things to do.
"Alright Chop, we stick to the plan and later we'll bother getting the Spy out of escape pod alive." She decided.
While chopper was chased by stormtroopers and finally left to the space through the airlock, Spy had to fight them. His Cloak and Dagger had a smaller battery but it was recharging. But he was running out of time. Before they left, he set the ship into self-destruction mode. Now he was running for his life and Dead Ringer was his best ally there. He finally reached the escape pod.
"Oh, merde." he said as he looked at the console full of buttons. "How do I use this?" After a while he found a way to launch himself to the space, about time because 15 seconds later, the cruiser exploded.
"Spy, It's Hera. Do you read me?" he heard the voice in his comms.
"About time someone decided that I'm still worth saving" he said sarcastically.
"Don't worry. We'll get you on board soon." The Twi-lek pilot said. Short after, the Ghost appeared next to the pod. He felt like pod was moving by some strange power.
'Probably that little boy doing the "Force" stuff' he thought but was grateful for rescue. After a moment, the pod's entrance opened and he saw Ezra waving to him.
"That was nice, don't you think?" the boy asked.
"Not bad, not bad at all" Spy couldn't hide that he was impressed of how quickly the boy learned to use his talent. They both went together to the Ghost's hangar. Spy saw the droid who was probably the real Imperial courier. The crew was just talking if they should keep it. Chopper seemed to didn't like the idea of another droid on the ship. Fortunately Engineer saw it.
"Ah think that your droid is gonna be jealous a bit, but I have a solution for it. Maybe we could take him." he offered. Chopper seemed to calm down and didn't have the violent thoughts of punching the droid out of the ship. Courier also beeped happily. "Don't you worry little guy. You'll be good with us. Ah just think that you need some different colors." he said while he turned to the mandalorian artist. "Sabine, could you please paint him in blue, green and white? Just don't use him as your art project? He is a member of our team now" he asked her. Sabine looked a bit dissapointed but nodded. Then everyone turned to Spy.
"Finally someone noticed that I'm here." French said. Everyone chuckled but greeted him. They all moved to the cockpit to analyse the info that Chopper and Spy got.
"Sabine what do we have?" Hera asked.
"Well, I didn't found Kanan yet but found Demoman. He is still on Tarkin's Star Destroyer: Sovereign, but he is about to be transfered with some other prisoners soon. To Mustafar system? It doesn't tell me anything. Hera's face expression changed immediately from hopeful to worried.
"I've heard that name only once. From Kanan." She looked at them with the saddness and fear in her eyes. "Mustafar is the place where the Jedi die."
Mustafar System, Imperial Star Destroyer: Sovereign, Demoman's cell, Inquisitor's
After a series of tortures and mind droid interrogations, the Imperials still couldn't extract much from Demoman. Finally Inquisitor himself decided to leave Kanan for a while and went to visit the explosions expert. He entered the cell where the prisoner was chained like Kanan was.
"So, you resisted all of our methods and still you didn't tell us anything useful" he said.
"I drink. What's yiur excuse?" Demoman said and after a few seconds he fell asleep again. Inquisitor looked annoyed and activated the electrifiers. His victim immediately woke up and looked at him like he just noticed him.
"OI!" he yelled. "When I get out, Ah'm gonna strangle you with me bare hands!" Inquisitor chuckled at that.
"We'll see" he said and put his hand above the Demoman and used the Force. Mercenary was screaming in pain but didn't do anything else. After a while, Inquisitor decided that it's a good time to enter his thoughts with the Force. At the beggining he felt nothing, but shortly after, he felt like he just stepped in the big swamp. All of the thoughts were in mess and he couldn't read any of it. When he tried to reach farther, he was suddenly kicked out from his victim's thoughts.
"You'll not make me tell" Demoman said with his head hanging down. "I'm a black Scottish Cyclops. You've got more fu-(BEEEEEEEEE- A/N: Let's just say that it would not be apropriate to write what he said there... -EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP) -than you've got the likes on me." he ended his cursing statement. The Inquisitor was surprised, not particulary by his talking although it was also interesting, but he was surprised of how strong his will was. It seemed like a miracle that so drunk person resisted the Force interrogation. He looked back at Demoman and with an hateful look on his face he left the room.
'I will not get anything from him' he thought 'but it still leaves the Jedi' Then he headed to the Kanan's cell for another series of violent interrogation. Although he knew the rebels will come. They will come and he will be ready for them.
A/N: YAY! Another chapter! So there is some info. I actually decided to present some of the merc's abilities (mainly Medic's). I planned to do it after the next chapter (not this one), but I'm going to introduce the medical expeirence of our lovely mad doctor in the next chapter.
Medic: YAAAY! I am zhe winner!
Soldier: Bonker, I HATE YOU! Come here so I can KICK YOUR ASS!
Me: (thinking) Oh thank God that i took the Spy's invis watch. (cloaking and saying out loud) See ya guys!
Spy: (entering the room) Which one of you stole my invis watch?
ME: It was me! Try to catch me! (running away still invisible).
