Chapter 5
Ashoka meets din at the ship and sees Sara. Sara stayed on board and waiting till the Mando came back from his mission. She was fed up with having to help everyone they met. The jedi sensed hate, anger, and fear in Sara. Ashoka
Explains about the Jedi and the sith to them both.
Mando takes the two to the planet and lands the ship. He then flies grogu and sara to the stone.
"This is it?" Sara looked around at the over grown stones that jetted from the mountain top.
"It looks like it." Mand looked around a bit. Sara walked to the middle and hopped on the stone. Mando handed her the child and the two sat.
"Now what?" She asked looking at din and the child.
"I don't..." but he was interrupted by a ship. Mando walked away to investigate while the two sat on the stone.While Mando and bobba fett have words and fight off storm troopers, Sara and the child are stuck in a trance. Blue light around them making it impossible for din to get to them. They soon pass out from the amount of energy it took from them to activate the stone. The two lay there unaware of the dark troopers approaching.
Mando tried to race back to the stone but he was unsuccessful. Sara and the child were stolen. Bobba agrees to aid Mando get them back, as he vowed they would be unharmed if he was to get his armor back.
Sara finally came too while her and the child sat in a steel cell.
"What? Where are we?" She was unaware of the theft. Grogu explained to her troopers took them.
"Where is din? Is he ok?" She stood up quickly. She had to brace herself against the wall due to the dizzy feeling. Grogu nodded. He explained to her that the troopers took them both and left Mando behind. Just as Sara was about to speak, two troopers came in. Sara's eyes almost glowed with anger as she turns to see them. With one flick of her wrist they go flying. More troopers flood into the cell.
Grogu and Sara try to fight off the troopers as much as they could but were still exhausted from the stone. The child collapses and Sara steppes in-front of him. As she continued to fight, Gideon enters the cell.
"You two have gotten stronger." He smiles. Sara was fighting to stand up. She was so drained she felt as if she would pass out again.
"Who are you!" She hisses
"Oh, you should know that S4S4." He smiled. A few flashes of painful memories ran in her head as she took a knee. Gideon removed his dark saber to show her.
"Remember this?" He grins. Sara wanted to rip his face off, but she was far to weak to try. A troop stuns them both and Gideon commands them to be shackled.A few hours later, the two final awoke. Sara saw her cuffs and began to freak out. The past covered trauma of being held down and shackled came back all at once. She cried out and screamed. Her screams were echoed in the halls of the ship causing a few to turn and look. Grogu reached out and touched sara and she calmed a little.
"This has happened to me before. I remember now. Being chained down and stuck with needles. Prodded and forced to do tasks." She cried. Hot tears ran down her checks as her wrists grew raw and red. As they sat in there cell, grogu explained to her what happened at the Academy before the clone wars. He also explained to her the same thing had happened to him as well. Sara lifted up grogu and cuddled him. They did their best to comfort each other, bit they were on the edge do to being captured.A few days later
Mando, bobba fett, and fennec made their way onto the ship. They did their best to sneak on, but the three were soon discovered. A fire fight ensued . Meanwhile the child and Sara were strapped down and being rolled down the long hall way towards the medical bay.
Sara glared at the doctor and Gideon as the walked beside them. Gideon threated the doctor that be had better do his job this time while Sara chuckled sarcastically.
"What is so funny?" He asked
"I am going to kill you all." Sara replied
"Spoken like a true sith."
"No, just a pissed of tusken raider." He stopped and turned to face her.
"You are nothing like them savages. Your power and linage is far superior."Gideon explains
"If only you would cooperate, I could train you in those arts."he smiled
"You are dense if I would ever cooperate with the person who tortured me half my life."
Gideon laughed, but the laughter was cut short by the sound of blasters. Sara used the distraction to try and wiggle out the restaurants. The three slide down the hall and came face to face with Gideon, the doctor and a few troopers. Fennec covered the rear as din approached Gideon.
"Let them go." He commanded as he held his blaster up and pointed at the sith. Gideon just shook his head.
"You are one troublesome mandalorian."
"Why do you even want them? For experiments!?" Din huffed.
"Dark science. Cloning. Secrets only the Sith knew."
Mando and Gideon exchange words
"she is my property as is the child."
"They belong to now one and are my clan."
"A clan of three? Ha. She was a donor like the child and she has the power of a Sith running through her veins, however she was stolen by a jedi who We chased them to tattooween but we figured they died in the crash there. Our mistake. It seems s4r4 had survived. " Gideon looked Sara over.
The memories came flooding back to her. Sara was taken as a teenager from her home world and turned into a slave for the empire. Gideon noticed she was force sensitive and brought to the labs for testing.
As Gideon continues to explain his intentions as Sara wiggles her hands out. She used her powers to throw a trooper towards gideon and the staff that was strapped to dins back. The beserk steel hit her hand and sara twirled it. Din saw his opportunity to kill the other troopers and run towards Grogu. Sara glared down Gideon as he took his dark saber out.
"You will not win this fight child."
"I will be taking that sword old man." She hisses. Gideon laughed and the two proceeded to fight. Sara knew how to use a staff well. She learn to use the tusken staff from a young age, so this staff was an upgrade. The saber sparked as it hit the steel. Fennec and bobba fett cover din and sara as troopers tried to swarm. The doctor was hit in the blasts and landed on the ground dead. Sara screamed as she fought with the sith lord. So his surprise, she was quite a match. Her energy, temper, and pure will was on fire. Sara used the force to jump and flip over Gideon. He kept up with her strikes and was getting fed up with her attempts.
Din grabbed the child and put his back against the wall. He glanced between sara, Gideon and the troopers coming towards them.
"You and your friends will all perish now!" Gideon used the force to slam her against the wall. She used the staff to block the saber as he brought it down. It was inches away from her face.
"You could have saved them and joined me, but now you will die and I will drain you of all your blood!" He put the saber close to her eyes. She tried to block him, but the saber's light hit her in the eyes. She screamed in pain as the saber burned her.
"Sara!" Din called out for her. He shot toward Gideon, but Gideon flung him and the child to the side. The last thing she saw was din and grogu flying before darkness and pain took her eyes. Rage filled her. Sara screamed and used the force to make Gideons head explode. The headless sith's body swayed and fell to the ground. Sara dropped beside him passing out not only from the powers but the pain of the saber blinding her. Din quickly got up, put Grogu in his satchel, and ran towards Sara. She was still alive. He put the staff back on his back and picked the saber up. He stuffed it in his satchel with Grogu and picked Sara up bridal style.
"We need to go now!" He called out to the others.The Five of them barely escaped the ship. Bobba sat explosives around to cause the ship to go down so they could make their escape. Fennec cleaned Sara's wonds as she slept.In the fight sara was blinded saving them. Gideon was dead and they were now in possession of the dark saber.
