Right now we are back at Hope to give a report to the High Council. Chancellor Mothma is hearing the report too.

"Masters, we have an urgent report to make, it is not good news…" started Ahsoka.

Then she continued "Right now, I and Knight Kriss, with the help of the Clones, killed three Acolytes and captured one. We are trying to make her speak, but she is too stubborn…"

"Greetings Masters and Chancellor, I would like to correct something." Then I cutted her and continued "Ahsoka is right about everything but one, she wasn't telling. Right now Major Rex spoke at my comms that he was capable of making her speak and I am going right there to hear her, wait just a minute…"

Everyone else looked at him, he already was more a general then one could expect of a Jedi, after all, they are peacekeepers.

While Knight Kriss is going to hear the Dark Acolyte, Ahsoka continued "Masters, discussing this matter, I think the Sith were never extinct, and even the Law of Two never made justice to what was said there, because apparently there are a new cult already, and probably from someone who knows to much about the old eras of the galaxy…"

"Tell us your thoughts, you did. Discussed this matter will be, little Ahsoka." Said the little green Master.

"Good work out there Snips, you did well commanding them again" Spoke Master Skywalker.

"Thank you Master, but Kriss, Echo and Fives did the most difficult thing, capture one alive, and because of this, I was thoughting about something…"

Meanwhile…

"Aaaaaahhhh… huff… huff… huff…"

Right now, Rex is electrocuting the Dark Acolyte to make her say more, but what she already said was, that she is part of the Sect of Ajunta Pall, the First Lord Sith, and something big is coming…

"That's alright Rex, we are not monsters, cuff her, and transport her to the Anti-Force cell, we are transporting her with us, she could be a good guide at some parts of the planet, and the masters would like to know what we already have" I said, satisfied with the information.

Rex nodded and went to cuff her while I went back to inform the Council and Chancellor Amidala.

I entered the holoprojector table and everyone was silent, something was off…

"Masters, Me and Rex managed to get some informations of her, Her name is Hannah Niimo, an Acolyte of the new Sith Lord, but according with her, she never saw him and me and Rex came to the conclusion that the new batch of acolytes don't have further information, but they probably have some type of Academy or facility here in the system".

The masters resumed their discussion about the matter. Master Windu and Master Mundi voted for us to continue the investigation, but the Ahsoka said,

"Master, I agreed to continue as a Jedi Knight in the Order, but I need an audience with you, masters, so I can't be here in Korriban for the time being". The masters looked at each other, but then, Ahsoka continued "But… I have a recommendation to accompany Knight Kriss on this mission… Her name is Kassy Carsen, a Jedi Knight that is about our age. I monitored her, her combat abilities are more suitable to him then mine and she is an excellent sensor, better than me at least".

The Council looked around and nodded, then Master Yoda said "Hmmm, heard, your suggestion will be" then Master Windu resumed "Very Well, then, Knight Kriss, your mission will be localize this facility and discover the plans of the Sith, Knight Carsen will be informed and sent to help you, with your new Legion of Troopers, the 190th Legion of Arc Troopers and Ghost Troopers". Master Windu announced.

I started to look around with widened eyes and then I looked at Master Skywalker and Master Ti, they looked at me back, Anakin smirking and Shaak looking lovingly at me, Anakin then started "We discussed this while you were questioning our guest, but it was Ahsoka who brought it up, she said you are a natural Leader, so why not send you two Space Ship's and an entire Legion for you, General Kriss".

Master Ti, always composed, then said "The troops that we are sending to you are the most suitable for your mission, Arc Troopers are specialists in front battles, and the new Ghost Troopers are specialists in scout and special operations, even because yous Legion is specialized in Heavy Infantry, Artillery and Special Ops. I was personally there to see their training in Kamino when they were made, but they never were in the battlefield, so good luck, and May the Force be with you, Will".

After she said that, the meeting was finished and the holoprojector of the Hope. The rest of the Me and Ahsoka spend training, honing or skills, the Boys helped difficulting the training, while me and Ahsoka were sparring, Echo, Fives and Appo, coordinated by Rex, shooted at us, in stun mode, leveling up or dueling and defending abilities, me using Makashi and Shien, and her in her Jar'kai stance, using Niiman and Ataru, making our duel, our sparring, a beautiful dance of blue and cyan, occasionally deflecting stun shots.

Sometime later, I was entering the bathroom of the training grounds. Our training came to an end, Ahsoka was exhausted, I was numb, so we ended the sparring session. When I turned the shower on, I relaxed. I was exhausted because of the battle at the surface and then the training session.

Just as I was about to wash myself and go to bed, someone said something in a sultry voice behind me "So, it was this saber that Master Ti was talking about…".
