Star Wars: The Rise of New Order

(Jayden's PoV)

I can't believe that they agreed to my plan.

As I thought, Vos immediately agreed to my plan, but my master was a little reluctant to do so. It took some convincing for her to accept.

How can she not?

There is an innocent life on the line, and based on what could happen to that life, many lives may depend.

If the egg is not returned or the egg dies, then I am sure that the mother serpent, which for now is in a dormant state, wouldn't stay so for long. It would definitely seek revenge, and since not all poachers can be caught by it, it can vent its anger on the race of one of the poachers, and that would be Wookies.

Neither blasters nor even the lightsaber attacks pierced its body armour. So, the chances of bringing it down normally are zero, which means it won't be good for the Wookies.

I may have exaggerated to the serpent that it may die, but unless powerful bombs are used, the chances of that happening are zero.

This is not the time of the Clone Wars to get powerful explosives easily. It would take a lot of time to get them, with so many restrictions on using powerful weapons in place.

Even if we did, we were not comfortable like those idiots on the council who would hide behind phrases like For the Greater Good or something like that.

Even though the creature was a Serpent, a monster as per human classification, in the eyes of the force, it is still a life. There is no difference between us and those monsters.

Neither my master nor anyone here thinks that we are higher than that Serpent, and they believe that it should pay the price for the wrongs someone did.

So, it became easier to convince her to accept my plan.

A few days after getting the information from the Wookie poacher, we have reached the place where the poacher had sold the egg.

It is a Black Market of sorts. So, we have to ditch our traditional Jedi attire and wear something that won't scream authority. 

For me, it wasn't difficult. My robes were not as bland as those of other Jedi. So, a few changes were more than enough. Even others didn't need much, just a few adjustments, and we were golden.

Our group from the start didn't wear like typical Jedi. So, we didn't have any problems adjusting a little bit. The only issue was our lightsabers.

I have a space storage, where I can safely store the lightsaber, but for others, that was an issue.

Though we don't intend to use the lightsabers, as that would scream Jedi, and for my plan to work seamlessly and not bite us in the end, we can't show that we are Jedi.

If anyone here finds that we are Jedi, then the plan is done, and we can forget about retrieving the egg.

If they find that we are Jedi, a lot of trouble we would be in from both the Jedi Council and the Senate. If it were wartime, an action like what we are taking now could be attributed to emergency actions, but not now.

What we are going to do is steal the Egg...No, no, we are going to rescue the egg from the collector himself.

If that collector who won the Egg from the suction were still here, it would be easy to rescue the egg, but if not, we may have even more work, and I hope that wasn't the case.

The Wookie poacher gave us all the details of the Collector who won the egg in an auction.

The auction was supposed to be an anonymous auction, but the poachers have ways to know about the winners and even everyone who attended these Black Auctions.

Why would they want to know these details, one may wonder, but there is a reason behind that. They want to steal from these clients.

Yeah, these auctions draw many rich people, which would typically mean that they have a lot of items or resources to steal. So, the black market owners would try to get the details of every winner, even everyone who attended.

Even if they don't get a chance to steal their resources, if they find some dirt on these rich people, they can blackmail them to get some resources or favours, depending on the time and situation.

Of course, they are not dumb enough to do things so close to now, but that's for the future.

They would follow and observe the rich for a while and would work their magic when they felt it was appropriate or when there was something inside those patrons' treasuries that couldn't be ignored.

These poachers did what everyone did. They learned everything about the winner and that is not for them, but to sell to someone who specialises in thefts, and this was supposed to be done a few months later.

If the patron finds that these poachers are behind the theft, directly or indirectly, they would pay a huge price. So, the information would be sold in a few months, making the poachers innocent of whatever could happen.

Those damned poachers and these Black Market goons, they were vile and are always ready to stab even their patrons in the back if required. I don't like them, but that vileness may be helpful in rescuing the egg now.

The collector was someone who stayed at this Black Market for most of the year, but the poachers were able to find that the person was from Corsucant and where his main treasury is located, but where in the capital, they have no idea.

For us, as long as the egg is still here, it doesn't matter.

For us, it's time for a heist.
