Prologue

 

Jedi Padawan Eslo Anderson is being tortured by agents of the Sith Empire who have infiltrated Coruscant. Skin bruised, bones broken, heart pumping, Eslo was continuously beaten. However, he would not break. As he was beaten for the hundredth time, the Imperial torturing him suddenly stopped and fell to the floor, dead. Had his master come to rescue him? However, as he began to stand, he short fell to the floor again. He had no idea who had saved him, but the one holding him seemed to be a woman. "Sarina?" He said, getting composed. Sarina Onasi was an indirect descendant of the great Republic hero Carth Onasi; she had long blonde hair, bright emerald green eyes, and a face that was as beautiful as anyone from Alderaan; however, she was no pushover. For a time, she served the Republic Starfighter Corps, making tough calls that ultimately saved lives; before one mission in a battle with the Sith Empire on Corellia was where Eslo first met Sarina; her family was from Coruscant, the Capital of the Galactic Republic. He was only a year older than Sarina when they first met, as it was his first mission, and she was assigned to take care of Eslo and his Jedi Master, Menthas Organa.

Sarina, at the time, had some experience even from a young age. At the age of twelve, she and her family lived in Coruscant's lower levels, struggling to survive. Sarina and her family eventually were forced to steal, to survive, and her family got killed in the process by the Justicars. She ultimately found the Republic and joined up. "Stay still." Said Sarina strictly. "You're going to need all your strength for battle" Sarina applied some medical supplies to Eslo's bruises, and bandages were applied. Then they both heard blaster fire sounding in the hallway. "We need to move." Eslo struggled to say as he began to stand up. As the bandages finished, a squad of Republic Troopers came in along with SIS Agent Clalbil Sakank, a Rodian who was once a smuggler. The SIS says the potential in Clalbil and asked her to join in their war against the Empire. "Alright, we have a three-minute window. Let's move," commanded Agent Sakank

Chapter 1

   A few months before the rescue of Eslo from Imperial captivity, Sarina was summoned to the office of Special Forces, to the newly made head of Special Forces, General Var Suthra. She walked in and saluted as soon as she arrived "At ease, Lieutenant. I have some bad news for you." She did as she was told and stood at ease. But secretly, she was terrified. 'Something must have gone wrong, somewhere.' she thought to herself. "Jedi Padawan Eslo Anderson has been captured by Imperial Forces here on Coruscant. Somehow they have infiltrated our ranks, though to what extent, we don't actually know." Shock was plastered on her face. She could not believe it, they had been friends for a long time. How could he have been captured? "Did we get any security footage?" She wanted to stay as professional as possible without trying to think how this could get any worse. Var Suthra pointed to the holo display on his desk. It showed Eslo entering and then she saw what were clearly Sith Intelligence operatives coming out of cover to take Eslo down, but Eslo was ready. Deflecting each shot in rapid succession; Eslo was an expert in Form 3 of Lightsaber Combat, Soresu. She was told about the technique by his master Menthas Organa.

  Eslo was five foot, nine inches, and a quarter in height. He had brown-colored robes and was described by his master as confident in his abilities but lacking the wisdom to allow the full power of the Force to flow through him. As another master put it, 'a Jedi Knight was a Jedi Knight in all respects' and he was not ready for the trials to become a Jedi Knight. But this Holo-Recording shows that he was capable; there may be that there was very little that could be learned from his master. Then it showed after 25 minutes of countless blaster deflections in the recording, a blast of force lightning as the recording showed circled around his body nearly killing him and then putting him into unconsciousness. It showed a Sith Lord garbed in black hovering over Eslo. She couldn't get a clear look at him. "Take him away." barked the Sith in his deep commanding voice. Then the holo-recording ended and Var Suthra then said "This mission is highly classified since you have a friendship with him, I thought you'd like to know." "The Sith in the recording, sir." Said Sarah in revelation "He sounded familiar." Var Suthra sighed and then said, "It may be because that Sith was Menthas Organa." Sarina gasped, Menthas had turned against the Republic? How could that be? He had been fiercely loyal to the Republic... unless he had been betrayed by the Jedi and was left to die, but Eslo rescued him from that affair on Mustafar years ago. Could that have been what drove Menthas to betray the Republic? "We believe that he was a Sith spy for a few days but now it appears his true allegiance has been revealed. We need you and a team of SIS agents to infiltrate the facility holding Eslo and rescue him." Sarina had a long pause and sighed. "What about Menthas? If he gets in the way, it could cause a real problem." "That's a risk you're going to have to take" Replied Var Suthra. "And it's not like you haven't trained yourself to stop force users." It was true, during her youth, she learned how to use the martial art of Taras Kasi. Which is the only defense that non-force sensitives could employ against force wielders. Var Suthra ended the conversation with "As long as Eslo is alive by the end. The Jedi Council will be happy with the result." She then said with clear humility "Yes, sir". They both saluted and she walked out of the room.
