The forethoughts

Kast cursed at herself as she stood up and grabbed her helmet. She tried talking to Maul, Feral, and Satine without success. Her patience was wearing thin and her mind was spinning. There were survivors on Dathomir after all their scanners told them that life was completely wiped from the planet. She stared at her fellow Mandalorian that she spoke to before the transmission started.

"Cor, gather 3 more men. We're going down to Dathomir to investigate who really sent that transmission. If it wasn't who we really saw then at least we will be able to kick some ass." Kast spoke walking to the elevator.

"Are you sure about this, Kast?" Another Mandalorian spoke up, "The Empire is close by."

"They are still many systems away?" Kast inquired

"Still at the edge of our radars." The other Mandalorian replied

"Then it'll take them time to get here. Once you think they've gone into hyperspace, I want you to tell me then we will leave Dathomir as quickly as we can." Kast declared

"What if the Duchess, Lord Maul, and Lord Feral return after we've retreated then?" He kept on asking

"Then we will pay the price." Kast announced "There are only half of us left on this ship that are still loyal to Lord Maul, Lord Feral, and Duchess Satine. That is only about 30 of us. If there are still Dathomirians down on that planet, how do you think that will make not only Lord Feral feel, but Lord Maul as well? We all heard about what happened to Lord Maul when he thought that it was his fault that everyone on his home planet was dead. Imagine how he would feel when he hears that he and his brother are not alone."

A silence fell over the group of ten Mandalorians that stood on the bridge. They remembered the day when Maul was laughing over the comms telling Feral he had joyous news, then the moment they were told that Obi-wan was alive. He was uplifted from all of the dark things that had surrounded and threated them. They all looked around at each other then nodded.

"It seems like we all are in an agreement then. We 5 of us including myself, Cor, and 3 others will go down to the planet's surface to investigate. We will take as many medical supplies as we can spare down with us." Kast announced, "Alright then, Cor, Pax, Hutor, and Gram, you four will be accompanying me down to the planet and to this Singing Mountian Clan."

The five of them all started to walk to the elevator and to the hangar to the smaller ship that they will take down to the surface of Dathomir.

Thrawn hummed in amusement as the transmission finished. The lights in the room brightened as he turned around to look at Kallus. "Interesting was it not, Agent Kallus? Life still on Dathomir."

"Yes, it is surprising," Kallus replied

"Prepare a ship, Agent Kallus." Thrawn cut him off as he walked to the door.

"A ship, sir?" Kallus kept his calm appearance, but he was completely confused on the inside.

"Yes. Two of our prisoners are in need of Dathomirian blood." Thrawn stated

"But the two we saw were Humans, the two need Zabrak blood." Kallus stated

"Actually Agent Kallus, our two prisoners are hybrids. They are both Zabrak and Human. That is what makes Dathomirians special. If we can not get Dathomirian blood soon, the Emporer will have both of our heads." Thrawn spoke looking back at Kallus.

"The Emperor?!" Kallus could no longer contain his emotions and his surprise showed clearly on his face.

"Yes, and he has made it very clear to keep the prisoner Maul alive until all of the information can be extracted from the others and they are killed. Then we have permission to kill him, but for now, he must stay alive no matter what." Thrawn explained, "Now gather men and tell them to get to the carrier ship. We are going to Dathomir and Kallus,"

"Yes, Grand Admiral?"

"I am leaving you in charge. I hope you will be able to look over the prisoners until my return."

Kallus stood there surprised at Thrawn's words. "Yessir."

-----------------


Kallus quickly rounded the corner, Thrawn's word still fresh in his mind, he walked into the cell where Thrawn had placed all of the prisoners. When he opens the door, he saw that Maul and Feral had been placed in the room as well.

"Kallus, what's wrong?" Kanan spoke up as he sensed Kallus' distress

"We had received a transmission that had came from Dathomir." Kallus started until Satine quickly stood up

"A transmission? No that's impossible there should be no one on the surface of Dathomir." Satine stated walking over to the two barely awake brothers.

"They called themselves the Sisters of the Singing Mountain Clans and they are requesting that medicine be delivered to them." Kallus explains

"The Singing Mountain Clan?" A rough voice broke into the conversation. Everyone turned to see Feral trying to sit up.

"Yes, do you know these women?" Kallus asked

"They, won't help us." Feral glared at Kallus not use to his new ally

"Thrawn is not expecting that they will help us. He wants a compromise we give them medicine and they give us some blood to heal you and your brother." Kallus stated to Feral, who laid back down.

"If they find out Maul and I come from the Night Clan, they will not give their blood willingly." Feral looked over at Maul, who had fallen asleep once again.

"Why not?" Ashoka couldn't help her curiosity over the situation.

"Either way Thrawn will get the blood." Kallus stated

"The Singing Mountain Clan and Night Clan are rival clans. Mother Talzin and the mother of their Clan had a rivalry in their younger years and never once have we helped the other clan." Feral spoke softly not trying to strain his voice, but the mechanical assistance forced his voice to be lowered to a certain extent.

"Why is Thrawn wanting to help Maul and Feral any ways?" Ezra asked from across the room, "We all are his enemies. Wouldn't he rather see us dead?"

"Yes he would, and I raised the same question. He told me he had received a specific order from the Emperor to keep Maul alive. That he had to be the last one dead." Kallus paused for a moment, "From what I could figure the Emperor probably told Thrawn to kill Maul last or he would kill Thrawn."

"Of course the Emperor would say that. All he wants is to watch Maul lose everything again. Maul was his first apprentice and I'm sure he wants him to be his last." Obi-wan spoke up, "Sidious has tried many times to get Maul to go back to the dark side, but no matter what, he failed."

"We should just escape now then! While Thrawn is gone and this Sidious isn't expecting it." Zeb spoke up walking over to them.

"We can't do that now. We must wait." Obi-wan denied his plan

"But why not?" Zeb questioned, "It's the perfect time!"

"Yes, I will agree that this time now is quite ideal, except either way we need the blood from the Singing Mountain Sisters. If we leave now, Thrawn will have an advantage over us. He may just take all of the sisters with the blood that Maul and Feral need, leaving us with no choice but to hand ourselves back to him." Obi-wan explained to Zeb, who scratched the back of his head.

"Well now that you put it that way," Zeb spoke quieter

"I agree will Master Kenobi, we should stay here until Maul and Feral are completely healed. Then once they are, we're taking the next opportunity we have to get out of here." Hera decided over the plan.

"In staying here, you all risk of being tortured by Thrawn when he returns." Kallus added into the conversation.

"I'm not leaving Maul and Feral here alone." Obi-wan concluded

"And neither am I." Satine stood up next to Obi-wan. "We have a ship of our army above Dathomir, I am positive that they have received that transmission as well. Once they see the Empire there and find out what they are doing on Dathomir, they will stop them."

"We could get them to protect the sisters and we could make an escape once we know that they're safe from Thrawn." Sabine suggested

"Sounds like a good plan," Hera stated "Master Kenobi, Duchess, what do you think?"

"It's a risky plan, but it may just work out." Obi-wan stated stroking his beard thinking as he spoke.

"I best send them a transmission then." Kallus stated and Satine gave him the coordinates to her ship so he could send them a private transmission.

With their plan figured out and everyone staying in the prison, they knew their only hope was in Maul's and Satine's army. Obi-wan and Satine sat down between the two brothers that relied on the blood of sisters.
