Age of Rebellion

The Bounty Hunter of Ord Mantell

0.7 ABY~

Sage then realized she was crying, after six and a half months she was finally able to cry. She began to remember all the training that she had gone through on Ahch-To. She stopped suddenly when Cassian's hand went over her largest scar on her back. He stopped too.

They pulled away slowly and Sage looked at him with pleading eyes, "Cass, don't."

Cassian grabbed onto her hand and pulled her into an empty room, worry for his little sister took him over, "What the hell happened to you while you were gone? Where were you?"

Sage closed her eyes and sighed, "I went to a planet called Ahch-To, it's ancient, I had read about it a long time ago, no one really knows it exists." She paused, wondering what she should tell him and what not to tell him. "There's an old Jedi Temple there, the first Jedi Temple in history and I trained there."

Cassian's eyebrows furrowed in, "Trained how? Alone?"

Sage sighed, "Cassian, I really don't want to talk about it. It was a helpful experience overall but it was traumatic and physically and emotionally brutal."

Cassian sat there for a moment, very much wanting to know more. He let out a deep sigh, beginning to walk out of the room, "Let's go plan the mission to Ord Mantell."

Sage smiled, happy that he was kind enough to give her her privacy with what happened to her on Ahch-To. She wondered what she was going to tell Bodhi when they get him back, that she saw and was trained by a thousands of year old Jedi Master?

Sage wiped her face and followed Cassian out of the room and down the cold ice halls of the base. They were soon joined by Han and Leia who walked behind them. They looked like a true team, no one dared stand in their way. They finally made it to the main control room to walk in and see Teegan shaking Mon Mothma's hand.

Sage stood there, a jealous hatred coming over her. She didn't know why, but the fact that Teegan had gotten more time with her mother than herself made her want to scream. Jealousy, maybe, but Sage was never the jealous type. It was more of a hatred towards the galaxy, it was so unfair.

Teegan and his family stood a ways from the table as Sage, Cassian, Han, Leia, Draven and Mon Mothma all spoke about the mission. "They went around these imperial guards to this cantina to find the secret base of the rebels who were planning an attack on the imperials on the planet, so therefore, they were either stopped at the guardpost or they never made it in and/or out of the cantina," Leia explained, pointing to the map on the table.

Han and Leia had taken the time of Teegan's arrival to plan their strategy. The need for having Luke back drove them both. Teegan and his family watched closely, thought Sage couldn't take her eyes off of him.

Han nodded at Leia's explanation, pointing to the map himself, "If they were stopped by imperials, they'll be in the prison cell. We'll check the cantina first and then head to the cells and sneak in."

Mon Mothma and Draven both nodded. Sage's head whipped towards Mon when she spoke, "We want you to take Teegan and his family."

Sage squinted at them and Cassian watched Sage carefully, scared of what she was going to say. "No," she answered furiously.

"No?" Mon Mothma asked, "Why not?" She responded with the same amount of ferocity.

"Because we don't need five Jedis running around on an imperial controlled planet, it's too risky. They'll start searching for Jedis in the streets, not criminals," Sage told them, causing everyone to suddenly agree with her instead.

"Five? I only count four," Draven said causing Sage to glare at him.

"Luke is in training but he does carry a lightsaber, he can be mistaken for a trained Jedi," Sage said causing Draven to almost cower underneath her voice.
