Welcome back to part 2 of what if Ventress re-joined the Jedi Order. Thank you to those
of you who watched the first part! To recap what happened in the first part, in case you
haven’t seen it, after duelling the Nightbrothers of Maul and Savage, Jedi master Obi-Wan Kenobi
had pushed for Ventress to return to the Jedi Order, and Yoda ordered Obi-Wan to track her
location. The Jedi master prevented Anakin from killing Dooku’s former apprentice,
as Ventress agreed to join the Order after consulting with Mother Talzin. Now we join
Dooku, as he tries to counter the surge in Republic victories across the galaxy...
As he had expected, Palpatine quickly received a holographic transmission from Dooku, and
the apprentice also suspected that all was not as it seemed. The Sith were curious that
the Jedi would use their victory to boost their morale, and Dooku realised that they
were using Ventress to counter their tactics. Palpatine ordered Dooku to find a suitable
counter in Republic form, and the Count of Serenno chanced upon a report from the planet
of Lola Sayu. Knowing that it could turn the war in his favour, the apprentice quickly
entered into his ship, and eventually set foot on the lava planet. Following the death
of the prison warden Osi Sobeck, the area had been placed in the hands of super tactical
droids, and Dooku barged into the warden’s office. The droid diverts Dooku to one of
the many holding cells, and there he finds the thoroughly injured ARC Trooper Echo. Dooku
orders for the droids to take Echo to a medical bay, not to repair his broken limbs, but to
place him in a stasis to feed knowledge to the Separatists. This had a dramatic effect
on the war, as the Republic and the Separatists continued to fight to no end, but Ventress
had another weapon to deploy. As the Nightsister had failed to avenge Dooku, she decided to
embark on a dangerous mission along side padawan Ahsoka Tano, trying to gather the remnants
of the broken Nightsister clan. As they approached the planet, they were shocked to find a Separatist
blockade in front of them, and they tried to avoid the intense fire from the turrets.
Although they used their skills to sustain light damage to their engines, they could
do nothing to avoid the Recusant class warship and its tractor beam, slowly creeping into
one of the many docking tubes. The Jedi ignite their lightsabers and make quick work of the
initial droid patrols, as they desperately formulated a plan to reach the surface below.
Behind her bounty hunter helmet, the retractable faceplate masked the anger from Ventress,
hearing the metallic clattering of General Grievous. The cyborg saw Ahsoka’s lightsabers
as additions to his vast collection, and swiftly assisted the clones in battle. The Jedi are
aware that Grievous needed them alive to take to Dooku, and take a large risk by taking
control of a stationed Separatist tri-fighter, then directed its fire at the core of the
ship. With each massive strike, the droids began to slip from the smooth surface of the
docking area, and the ship tilted, until even Grievous, needed to assume his four-legged
form. The Jedi use the chaos to run back to their ship, and descend to the planet, as
they watch the warship beginning to explode. Ventress knew that they had little time, as
Grievous would be able to escape, and report the development to Dooku, so they run to where
they had previously found Talzin. To their relief, the leader of the clan is still in
the village alone, and Ventress proposes that they join Forces with the Jedi to try and
overcome the Sith. The spiritual leader knew that the Nightbrothers would be firmly opposed
to the idea, but defeating Sidious was their priority, and she conjured a spell to draw
all of the remaining Nightsisters from their caves. The clan all enter an abandoned salvage
ship, and they are not surprised to see that the Recusant class destroyer, had been replaced
by another warship, and Ahsoka manages to relay the news to the Council before they
approached it. The Jedi and the Nightsisters stall time, by completing orbits of the planet
to confuse the pilot droids, but they soon respond by firing. The old and battered ship
takes more hits than it could handle, and they tumbled back to the planet’s atmosphere,
until they are drawn in by the arriving Republic tugboat. The Jedi general Anakin Skywalker
had answered their calling, and as Obi-Wan had been occupied by Maul, he had had to take
up the rescue. Diverting their ship to the planet of Florrum, the new recruits had to
face their first challenge, with the fall of Master Gallia to Savage Opress. The Jedi
land beside one of dust bowls, then all charge to the Zabraks trying to run from the pirates.
As Maul carried his injured brother to their intended escape craft, the Dathomirians shot
it to pieces, and the Jedi jumped down to help Obi-Wan. Making quick work of the already
injured Savage, Talzin orders them not to kill them, harbouring plans to revive them
to their former glory, but Anakin had other ideas. The Jedi knight sought revenge for
the death of Qui-Gon, and unlike his master, it could not be contained, as he sliced Maul’s
arms. Pointing his lightsaber at the throat of both Zabraks, Maul remarked that the Jedi
would lose their chance of defeating Sidious, if they killed him, and Obi-Wan decides that
they should taken him back to Coruscant. The brothers are guarded at all times on their
journey, and the Jedi had their chance to get the upper hand.
