Chapter 31 by Caesar25 Caesar25

What's next?

Offer to join forces with the Nightsisters

Lana: Mother, with all due respect, one Jedi might not be enough to stop a separatist invasion, but 3 could!

Talzin: How very true. Though, despite your enthusiasm, we would still be facing maybe the largest army the separatists have fielded so far.

Ranvi: We could ask the Jedi council for help!

Talzin: I doubt they would truly care about our clan my dear, the Jedi were always ready to take our kin to train them, but never to return them here. It's a once in a century opportunity, that you were allowed to return to us sometimes!

Drek: Nonetheless, we should try to gather all our allies for such a grand battle! We cannot let your people down, especially when we could end the war with a final battle and eliminate the Sith once and for all!

Talzin: We might be able to... I have a secret weapon against them, that they know not about... But it will require time.

Lana: We could buy you as much time as you need! We should begin preparations then!

Talzin retires to her palace and calls the Nightsisters together to announce her plan about fighting the Sith and their droid army. Meanwhile, you contact the Jedi council about the news and ask them for reinforcements. Master Yoda and Windu answer your call, they were in a meeting with Chancellor Palpatine, so he too hears about your plan. None of the three are happy about your words.

Yoda: Hmm... Ambitious, your plan is... If you go along with that plan, great losses, you will suffer...

Lana: Yes, but this is a once in a lifetime opportunity masters! We could end the whole war at once!

Palpatine (visibly frustrated by the news): Why are you so certain this, "Talzin" could defeat the Sith? What is going to be her strategy?

Lana: I do not know your excellency, all I know is that she wouldn't have brought it up, had she not have a plan!

Palpatine: I see...

Windu: The entire council is currently occupied throughout the galaxy, I and Master Yoda too will be leaving for our own front lines momentarily, we are afraid we cannot send you any Jedi as reinforcements. The younger, less experienced ones shouldn't experience such a vicinity to the darkness, last of all on the planet of darkness, Dathomir. We cannot support your plan.

Palpatine: The Republic is having its forces overextended already, we cannot allow ourselves to open up a new front again... I am sorry young one, but the senate will certainly oppose such a direct involvement, as would I. Best you could do is leave the planet and let this "clan of Nightsisters", fight its own battles. I am positive, they are going to be fine, if they had survived so far, they will manage without Republic interference too!

Lana: But...!

Windu: This conversation is over young one. Neither the council, nor the Republic authorizes you to be part of that plan! Return to the temple at once and do not overreach your legal limits again. You were already violating numerous Jedi rules by going there there first place!

Lana: I understand master...

They leave the conversation and have a few more words afterwards, before Padmé's scheduled meeting begins.

Yoda: Acting wisely are we? To their fate, abandoning them, we are now...

Palpatine: Certainly those primitive **** user cultists were overexaggerating their powers, had they been able to defeat the Sith before, why haven't they done it already?

Yoda: Know little we do now... Only time will tell. Defeat one of the Sith Lords, they might be able to...

Windu (while the senators enter the room): A Sith Lord...?

Ranvi: So Lana? Is the Jedi order coming to help us?

Lana: No, apparently not at all... Neither the Jedi, nor the Republic will be involved...

Ranvi: But how could they miss an opportunity like that?!

Lana: Politics... They fear for the losses and wouldn't leave an other front undefended for the sake of Dathomir...

As you talk, you spot a ship landing just outside the courtyard of the palace. Mother Talzin alerts the Nightsisters to stand ready for the arrival of the ship. They rush outside and take up hidden positions to be able to ambush the guest. You are just watching from the distance, while Talzin goes there personally to see who it is. The ship's door opens and to everybody's surprise, a Nightsister steps onto the surface of the planet, one, that you all know well... Asajj Ventress. She proceeds to go to the palace, when she is ambushed by her fellow Nightsisters.

Talzin orders them to lower their weapons, as she is her long lost child, who finally returned to her family. She welcomes and hugs her to ensure no harm will come to her here. Talzin escorts her to you, while explaining her how much her sacrifice as a child meant to the clan. The fact that she was sold to a slaver to avoid an invasion at a time when the Nightsisters were at their weakest moments, earned her the respect and gratitude of many in the clan.
