A war on two fronts

Chapter 24: Man From The Moon

The party ended after three days and everybody went to his duty because the fight was not over yet. Ragnos was somewhere out there, but no signs. Luke made an urgent meeting once Nina finished putting the pieces of the puzzle to discover his plan. At the meeting came Luke, Nina, Ahsoka, Zady, Ashara, Kyle, Mara, Rosh, Ezra, and Barriss. Other Jedi and Inquisitors trained or sent diverse theories to Luke Ragnos.

"Everything is my fault," blamed Nina and pushed with the force a can into the wall. "They used me to infiltrate in your castle to be their scapegoat."

"Nina, they come without knowing if Momin says the truth," confessed Barriss to make Nina feel better. "Is unimportant whose fault is, is important to stop Ragnos once and for all for the sake of the universe."

"At least we know will come to the Academy and will want to kill me," informed Jaden and scratched his head. "What is this map full of notes?"

"Everything that Nina gathers in her mission," responded Rosh and looked at the holomap. "One of Tavion's advisors asks Tavion about Mustafar and Tavion says will hand it."

"Kid, I know you feel guilty. None of us knows the effect of the scroll used to repair the staff," comforted Kyle and touched Nina on the arm. "Barriss do not know that might happen either."

"Do you realize Vader offers me knowledge beyond imagination?" wondered Barriss suggesting it was her fault. "Those rats played everybody on fingers, including me."

"Luke, in case you wonder how that was possible. With each attempt of Anakin to act in place of Vader, Sidious offered her power. He did to make Vader inhibit Anakin," explained Mara because saw Luke's reaction. "We both had the same benefits, but I was Emperor's hand and Barriss an Inquisitor, let's say Grand Inquisitor."

"Imagine all hate that Anakin had on Barriss, as I left," informed Ahsoka and looked straight at Barriss. "In a way or another, you saved my life because I was the last thing who kept Anakin on the light side."

"Let's turn to us ships, especially at the Academy," advised Ezra because he did not want to discuss slip over. "We can use the ground to our advantage and I will train Jacen as Kanan train me."

"Ashara, something is bothering you?" wondered Zady while looked at Ashara sensing her emotion.

"No, but I don't understand how the cult activity decreased after the destruction of the scepter. Also, it increased once more when Nina joins them."

"The answer is very simple," shared Nina and marked on the holomap a group of planets. "You catch half of the members on the battle of Korriban. The other lackeys stay on different planets until waiting for the signal."

"What do you mean by this?" asked Luke and realized. "That means as we speak, they go to regroup the forces."

"Luke, if I have right, we rid of almost 90% of their warriors, but not followers," responded Rosh being more specific. "The rest love Ragnos, don't have the force, and we don't have the slightest idea where their mother base is."

"Why they are still a threat?" wondered Barriss and explained. "If we get rid of Ragnos, they destroy all because they can't take the force from other places."

"Barriss has right. The scepter is not the only thing who offers power," spoke Ahsoka and opened a file with the holomap. "Desann and Galak Fyyar create a project to infuse none sensitives with the force."

"The true purpose of the project was the Valley of the Jedi," informed Kyle, and recalled a discussion. "According to Mon Montana, is impossible."

"Not impossible," corrected Mara explaining. "Darth Sidious practiced Sith Alchemy and was one of the last Sith that ever practiced such arts in our days."
