Authors notes I don't own Star Wars George Lucas does and a warning if anyone reading this hasn't read The Plague Ship I suggest you read that now otherwise you wont know what's going on at all in this fic. And warning only the first 4 chapters of this fic were betaed as my beta had some personal things to sort out apologies for any mistakes in spelling in grammer you will see from now on in this fic.

Super Star Destroyer Moth Simulator

Shadow stayed in the observation deck as he had Beta Squad do the simulation all night long. And after over several hours of training Shadow decided to give them a few hours to rest as they had finally completed the simulation in a time he found acceptable.

Shadow then went back to the squads quarters to get some rest and before he did Shadow heard his com go off and answered it and he was surprised to see a hologram of the Emperor himself in front of him.

The Emperor suddenly said to Shadow "Commander I have received word that the Chanso has been sighted near the Naboo system, how soon can your team be ready to move out?".

Shadow only replied "Well my squad are still training and I need to be sure they are up to the task so I would say they will be ready in 6 days at least, goodbye Emperor Palpatine sir".

The Emperor nodded and the hologram disappeared leaving Shadow to wonder how was he going to get Beta Squad ready for their mission in only 6 days.

Imperial Army Headquarters

Serpent entered the office and sat down as the hologram of the director appeared and said "I called you here for 1 reason, Serpent this meeting is off the record even Shade records, if on your mission Shadow in any way or form shows any weakness in the mission, I want you to get rid of him. Is that clear commander Serpent. Get rid of him regardless of the mission's failure or success. And in return I wont reveal your secret to the Emperor. Don't try and play stupid you don't have a secret, because it might work with others but not me. Are we clear commander?".

Serpent nodded in understanding and left the room quickly and headed back to the ship.

Chanso bridge

The two twins were deep in meditation as they felt the force grow stronger and stronger with every passing second. And they soon felt the thoughts and actions of a very familiar person they knew only too well.

The man on the right said "So this is who you fought in the engine room a few days ago, he is strong in the force and indeed very powerful. I can see now how you almost lost against him in battle".

The other man suddenly shouted out "He didn't almost beat me in battle!. I only underestimated him, I wont make that mistake again, when he returns to this ship I will kill him. Remember the fight we had wont end until only me or him is left alive and the other is dead".

The man on the left nodded in understanding and resumed his meditation.

Super Star Destroyer Moth the very next day

Shadow woke up as his alarm went off loudly and as he got up out of bed he knew the clock was ticking for him to get Beta Squad ready for their mission in 6 days time.

He quickly got dressed and rushed down to the simulator room to add more to the Chanso simulation, after the teams performance he knew the squad was ready to face the reality of the ship and face all that was onboard the ship as well.

After Shadow finished with new additions to the simulation Beta Squad entered the room and Gunner said "So Shadow what do have next for us to do, run laps across the ship, get a list of the crew. Whatever you have planned we will breeze on through it, this mission will be a piece of cake".

Shadow only smiled and replied "Well Gunner if your so confidenant, you can do this simulation all by yourself, since your sure you can breeze though it".

Gunners smile suddenly disappeared as he entered the simulator and 5 minutes later he emerged in anger and yelled out at Shadow "What the hell sir, you made it hard on purpose didn't you?!".

Shadow shook his head and said "No Gunner what you all did yesterday was only a small taste of the true horrors on that ship, what is now in that simulation is everything that happened to my team, nothing at all is left out from my encounter on the Chanso. Now you have 50 minutes to destroy the ship, the time starts as soon as you leave the hanger bay. So get moving now go go go!".

The Squad then ran into the simulator and after several failed attempts Shadow said "Alright, men let me show you how it's done".

Shadow then got his weapons and stood in front of the simulator and said to his men "Watch how I do it, maybe then you'll learn a thing or 2. And Serpent time me would you. Now I might not get to the engine room at all, but I'm damn sure going to try my best". Shadow suddenly ran into the simulation with his sword drawn and started attacking any and everything he saw.

Shadow was soon at the engine room with very little time left so he planted the bomb and ran back to the hanger bay to escape before the ship blew. And when the bomb went off the simulation ended and Shadow emerged from the simulator and saw his squad mates looking at him with shock.

Shadow looked at his men in confusion and said "What?". Data then replied "Sir you just completed the simulation in less than 36 minutes. How did you do that?".

Shadow only looked at his hands in shock and replied "Show me a holovid of my simulation I need to see it for myself, just to be sure". Shadow then went up to the observation deck and reviewed the holovid of his simulation and was shocked to see he was moving faster and was a lot stronger then he was before the first mission to the Chanso and he knew the reasons why.

Ever since his fight with the test subject in the engine room of the Chanso Shadow had noticed something had happened to him and he had a theory as to what it was, Shadow had managed to use the force on the ship despite the fact that he was cut off from the force by the Jedi Council a long time ago.

Shadow didn't know how this happen but I thing was certain he was determined to find the answers to these questions. Shadow then yelled out "Men I want you all in that simulator for the rest of day getting ready for the mission!, understood?!".

His team then yelled out in unison "Sir yes sir!!" and headed into the simulator as Shadow watched the squad from the observation deck.

The Next day

Shadow was in the simulation room waiting for his team to enter but when they were 10 minutes late Shadow contacted Serpent on the com and said "Serpent where are you and your team?. Your late for training".

Serpent only replied "Sir we are in the infirmary Doc is ill, you need to come here yourself to see this". Shadow quickly ran down to the infirmary where he saw Doc on a bed with the squad crowded around him.

Shadow suddenly yelled out "Alright men you can talk to Doc later now go to the simulator and resume your training now!". The squad then left the infirmary leaving Shadow and Doc alone to talk about his illness.

Shadow then said "So Doc what is this illness?, and will you be able to take part in the mission?". Doc looked at Shadow then at his feet before he said "It's a mild bug, probably from some bad food, but the doctors want to stay here for at least 5 days for observation, just in case it turns out to be something more than food poisoning, so I wont be able to help in the mission, I'm sorry sir".

Shadow then said "Don't be sorry Doc, get better and when this mission is over I'll make sure that we bring some souvenirs from the ship" both men then shared a laugh and Shadow left heading down to the simulator to obverse how the squad was doing getting ready for the mission.

Super Star Destroyer Gadar

A man looked up as a hologram of the director appeared and said "What is it director?". The director answered "I have heard 1 of Beta Squad will be unable to be on the mission, so we need a replacement, are there any Shade members available for reassignment?".

The man replied "No director, no one is available for reassignment, so what will you do now about this problem?". The director then said "I'll seek outside help" the hologram then disappeared and the man resumed his previous duties.
