Chapter 76 - Ripples (Short)

P.O.V. Jedi Master's of Coruscant

Sitting inside the temple of Coruscant the Jedi Master's were sitting discussing the war. Master Yoda sat in silence and watched as the others Masters. He could only think to himself that the Order is not meant for war. He kept thinking of Diesel's actions during the battle of Geonosis. Slowly losing himself in thought a sudden wave. Or more accurately a blast of the force swept through the room. Waking himself and the other Masters.

The blast was so powerful and so much hate was felt that it put the Jedi's on their guard. Most immediately took defensive stance preparing to be attacked. The emotions that the force has lingered in the room. Dread, anger, hate, revenge, turned into fear, loneliness, and despair. The dark side. It felt like eternity passed before the blast flows completely through the room. The Masters stared at each other before coming to their senses.

"What was that? So many emotions could be felt." Yoda stared at the random Master before interrupting the rest.

"Not now. Check the others we must. Later we will discuss. Now go and check everyone." As Yoda finished the entire room cleared and the Master scattered searching far and wide across the temple making sure everyone was okay. "The dark side grows stronger it seems."

P.O.V. Swap Dooku and Palpatine

"The Mandalorians will be distracted with their Civil War. This will give us some more breathing room and allow us to keep moving forward."

"The Jedi will grow weaker making them blind to the future. Those who see the future will not be trusted and they'll be forced to make a decision."

"Master what will we do about the Mandalorians when they rejoin the war. The Goliath project did well but I don't believe it'll be able to kill the Spartans."

"It doesn't need to kill them. They are the perfect for wasting resources and stalling this war. Keep making them and expressing how much we need them to defeat the Spartans...." The force blast finally reached Palpatine and Dooku. Both got lost in thought for a moment before Dooku spoke.

"No. It seems another surviving Sith has entered the battle or rather a Sith has been born."

--Galaxy News Broadcast--

"Yo Yo Yo Jeffers is back with another BIG UPDATE on the war between the Republic and the Seppies! It seems that the Mandalorian are staying on the sidelines and focusing on themselves! IT'S INSANE! We just want more BADA.S.S Spartan on Seppie action! Someone get me Diesel's number and get this goinggggg. You know what I mean?

BEFORE I forget the Nar Shaddaa Black Suns seem to be getting in some trouble. Bodies piling up all over. Anyone have some pets? Free food laying all over..."

P.O.V. Swap ????

"Diesel and his Mandalorians are still preparing for the battle. If we want this to be played out like we want shouldn't we push Diesel before his men return with reinforcements? We need to give up more information so they set a trap for him."

"Yes, I know."

"I'll get in contact with Vegu. Do your best to not get caught. The security is getting tighter now."

"Who do you think you're talking to."

(A little shorter chapter be here you get to see the affects of Rayath being taken by the Mandalorians.)
