New Power

Ch 27

Cain and The Bad Batch hadn't spotted Delta Squad yet, but they definitely spotted the seemingly endless stream of battle droids. Crosshair sniped from behind them as the rest of them blasted as many droids as possible. They seemed to move differently to regular battle droids. More effective strategies was standing out the most.

"Spotted them. Being backed up the stairs of the base," Cosshair stated through their synced helmet comms. "Looks like they have a Jedi with them."

"Alright, let's move as fast as we can," Hunter instructed.

Cain ignited his lightsaber and threw it, keeping it ignited and making it go in a tight circle with the Force. Droids fell to the ground, headless. He Force-Pushed them back and blasted them.

"You couldn't do that before?" Crosshair asked.

"Urgency has been increased," Cain simply said. He Force-Pushed a clear path of droids to the door of the base and ran forwards, one hand holding his indigo lightsaber outwards and the other firing a blaster. Once he made it to the door, Cain didn't waste a second and started cutting a hole. He Force-Pushed it in and raced up the stairs, The Bad Batch behind him.

He cut through the droids that were backing up Delta Squad. He found them in a tight circle formation fighting off droids, Alyssa swinging an indigo lightsaber in front of her. Cain sliced the droids separating him from his sister as the clones blasted the droids.

Alyssa's eyes widened as she saw Cain coming towards her.

"RUN!" she screamed. Cain hadn't heard that sort of urgency in her voice since their days of being a pair as they hunted bounties.

"I'm not leaving you!" Cain yelled back as he cut more droids. He reached her and fought by her side.

"You need to leave! Now!" Alyssa attemped to Force-Push him away, but he stood his ground. The Push ended up flining battle droids backwards.

"I won't!" Cain saw the Batch standing their ground with Delta Squad. Hunter lashed out with a vibro-knife as Tech and Crosshair used their blasters, but Wrecker just pulled the droids apart.

"You don't understand! Quinton's here! He's commanding the droids!" As if on cue, the droids stopped firing and curled up on the ground in their manufacturing position. Cain felt dread come over him, both because if the presence he now sensed and the situation they were in.

"Illa, my dear. Do you think I am that stupid?" Quinton asked rhetorically.

"About what?" Alyssa said exasperatingly.

"Your name. Illa is your mother, and one of the few children who escaped." Quinton held his lightsaber out, ignited. The indigo glow mixed with Alyssa's and Cain's. "Sith Lord Danton Kenobi escaped with her and raised her. She and her husband, Darren only had two children. You and your brother, Cain, I believe his name is."

Cain stayed still and tried his best to stop himself from being sensed and exposed. He felt Alyssa's stress through the Force.

"I have to say, from the images I've seen, Cain looks more like Danton than Darren. Now, I'm not saying there's been illegal breeding activity in your family, but it's strange, isn't it?" Quinton said. "And you there," he motioned with his lightsaber to Cain, "you're not helping your case with the lightsaber."

Obi-Wan is from the human branch of the Kenobi's, like how the Yesek family have a human and Elvish branch. Illa and Darren took him in as their oldest after his parents were brutally murdered by bounty hunters. Obi-Wan was but an infant."

"How have you found all of this out?" Alyssa seethed, adjusting her grip on her lightsaber.

Quinton smirked. "I am over two hundred years old, my dear. I have my ways. And we're not even to the best part."
