Fi put an arm on Naos. Her eyes glistened with unshed tears. "Listen, Naos," she said. She was surprised to hear her voice shaking. "I know what its' like. He can take you inside your own mind... He can show you what you really want. He gives just enough to make you hungry for more. He has the Force on his side. Nothing is impossible with the Force, Naos! Nothing!" She said all this in a tight whisper, trying to control her emotions. "She fought... I'll be damned if she didn't fight with all her strength."
"So Vader is Anakin Skywalker?" Darrina asked. "Oh... Oh that's just... No..."
"He is," Padmé said. "Somewhere deep down. Scout was originally going to be his apprentice. That explains her hatred towards him."
"She put up a fight," Fi repeated. "If I knew what security base she was held at, I would hack into their data files. Jaing would help me, I know it."
"Maybe we don't need to see how she was turned," said Darrina, perhaps the most sensible one there so far. "Maybe we need to see where her next move will be. Capture her, try and bring her back. Would it work?"

Sora
Naos seemed to simply consider what Fi was saying. He said no other word, and I could tell he was pushing it out of his mind.
I looked at Darrina and said "You are right. How would only cause more misery for us, and it's over now. We just need to know how to bring her back. As for capturing her....I'm not sure. How easy was it to get off her armour?"
"I used an old trick I used on Scout in our spars at the Jedi Temple. I made it look like I was going to make one certain offense, then made another one and caught her off guard. I suppose the brainwashing was useful in the duel; she didn't remember it, and I got her pushed against the wall. I used my lightsaber on the snap, and her armour fell apart. Her anger got the better of her and she threw off her helmet, everything else until you arrived was a blur....but she spoke to me, and managed to escape." Naos answered, looking towards me and speaking again
"When I flew over Theed, I didn't see anyone by the looks of her, but I wasn't exactly keeping a Hawk-Eye's view below me." I said, remembering how hurried I was to get to the Palace after Mariel's vision "She's very quick. She could escape from us fast if we managed to capture her, and I have a feeling Vader and Scout herself are going to make an effort to ensure what happened in the street of Theed never happens again. This will be tough. And even tougher to make her remember. If Vader did the brainwashing, and I don't have a single doubt that he did, he probably erased her memories of us all. Mabye of the Temple, but I doubt she remembers many of us. If anyone, I'd expect it to be the two other people who were canidates to be Va-Anakin's apprentice: Jaskia and Nait."
Naos shook his head, and slowly looked at everyone in the room "She....didn't think she was herself. She....said Vader wanted Scout very badly, when she was Scout....also she spoke like she didn't know Nait...."
My eyes widened at Naos. This had taken me off guard. My eyes slowly went to Padme, and then to Fi.

"Cerasi."
Darrina started and looked behind her. Nait was leaning on a wall, listening to the conversation. "You should be resting!" Darrina cried.
"She said her name's Cerasi," Nait said. He moved over to the couch and sat painfully. The surface wounds seemed to be gone, but underneath his shit and pants, she could not tell. "It's Melida for 'renewed'. They put that word into their vocabulary after a freedom fighter named Cerasi Ving managed to bring peace to the world even after she died. And on Phindar, the brainwashed people were called the renewed. It's fitting, I think."
"Your sister isn't herself," Padmé said.
"Don't I know it?" Nait asked. "She kicked my butt! She almost killed me! But I know a weakness." He leaned foreword, smiling. "Make fun of her. It's like the panic button. Shit happens then, she tries to remain in control. If I taunt her, call her her old nicknames in the Temple, it might help."

Sora
I looked at Nait and said "Perhaps. It depends on how deep Vader drilled that brainwashing into her head. And if this Cerasi is as bad as you say....then it seems pretty deep...."
I sighed and turned away, staring at the wall on the left side of the room "I hate to admit this, and if we get the chance we must take it, but we can't put all of our focus into rescuing Scout. I want to, but it would be a bad move at the moment. She's obviously strong; the whole Empire is the strong, and though I did persuade Incom to join the Alliance, the Rebels are currently very weak....we need to focus on building the Alliance up before we can get Scout."
And from then on, I was silent.

Nait seemed to be struggling to bite out the words forming in his mouth. She was his sister, and he loved her more than anything, but the Alliance had to come first. "I... agree." He bowed his head so no one could see the tear drop fall from his eyelash. He followed it all the way into his hand. I'm sorry, sis.
"Me, too," Padmé said quietly.
"Yes..." Darrina whispered.
"Fine," Fi snapped. "Leave Vader to deal with her. A few more bruises or broken bones couldn't hurt!" She stood up angrily and sulked off to the room she shared with Selas.
"Yes...

Sora
I turned and saw Fi stomp off. A sad look crossed my face, thinking about Scout being abused by Vader. I closed my eyes for a moment. It must be done....
"I....don't like doing this, but we are vital to the Alliance, and at least have to help it build up in power before we go after her. There's always the possibility she could defeat us, and if we die....nothing would have been achieved. We'd doom the Alliance, Scout, and the Galaxy." I said to them all
Naos looked like he had mixed emotions. He looked angry, sad, and like he was about to burst out with yells. But he stood for a moment, trying to deny what I said but also knowing I was right. I could tell by his face and eyes; even Naos had to agree though he hated it.
Instead, he simply turned, and walked out of the room. Let him go....for now. This more tough on him than it is me, or even Fi and Padme. my thoughts told me
I looked at the three remaining in the Main Hold: Padme, Darrina, and Nait. "But I promise, when we are able to, we will find Scout, and bring her back. I am determined to do it, even if I have to die in the process. But not now, I don't like admitting it, but I have to. This crew is the strongest thing the small Alliance has right now, even with the help of Incom and possibly the resources the Queen of Naboo had on her hands." I said, my words partially directed towards Nait more than Padme and the handmaiden

"Then we better start saving the Galaxy right now," Darrina said. "Because like it or not, I'm staying with you guys to protect the Senator. My mother wished it."
"Thank you," Padmé said, dipping her head slightly in reverance.
"Let's get started," Nait said. "We should be at Alderaan in an hour. I'll get in a Healing Trance and heal the rest of my burns. Then we better save the galaxy. I want my sister back."
"Let's roll," Darrina said, clapping her hands.

TWO YEARS LATER The Killer crew has joined the Rebellion, leading missions and missions all across the galaxy in an effort to destroy the Empire. Bounty hunters still tail them now and then, but with their combined skills, they have managed to avoid serious injuries. The crew has grown closer, and it seems as though Darrina has finally filled a spot in Naos’ heart. Fi and Selas watch over their two-year-old daughter, and Sora is trained in the ways of the Force by Nait and Naos. Jaskia is still missing, but it has become apparent that she is building an army, a Jedi army, and that the Empire will stop at nothing to kill her. The Rebellion has been slowly building up in both power and resources. They have managed to get the help of the pirate leader Nym on Lok, and have recently decided to start the cloning process again with the Kaminoians. While using X-Wings and Y-Wing bombers as their primary fighters, Incom plans to develop more and more starfighters for Alliance use. Though the Empire still think of the Rebellion as nothing more than a small party of men and woman blinded by greed, Vader know better… In the few encounters the Rebellion has had with bounty hunters and Imperial stormtroopers, both Vader and Cerasi figured out that the Killer crew uses Kamino as a secondary base. Still being punished by Vader for her failure to kill Nait Gash and Naos, Cerasi is ordered to investigate despite her wounds. And, within hours, Cerasi knew that their suspicions were correct. Emperor Palpatine has sent Vader to Kamino to destroy the cloning facilities there. And with him comes Cerasi. Above the skies of Kamino, Cerasi must prepare herself for the biggest challenge yet…

Vader
You'll die today, Trok. You, Kal, Taban, and Gash. They'll all pay. Padme will be finally brought back to me, and she will join me. Cerasi and I will destroy Tipoca City, and this new Alliance will collapse. Today I will finally get what I have wanted for two years...today will be the destruction of the Killer Crew.
Cerasi was taking the other half of Tipoca. We were to meet in the hidden underground base Sora and the others had been using as a hideout. We would destroy that, and everyone inside that city, and eventually the city itself. I would face them all, and kill them brutually.
Today, a thorn in my side will be removed....permanantly.... I vowed as the shuttle prepared to land on an open platform on the exterior of the city, rain was pouring, and you could see lightning every two minutes or so Perfect for victory and the Dark Side to take full reign...

Selas ran a hand through his hair and began to pace. He was supposed to be resting, but he couldnt. Something bad was going to happen soon. He just knew.
Selas, something bad is always happening nowdays. he said to himself.
Throwing open the door, he stepped outside into the hallway. Time to find Sora and see if anything was wrong.
