Blonde hair pulled up into a bun, pinned up against the back of the head of a blue eyed beauty as she trained with Kae'buir. Cody watched intently as the Blue and Lilac sabers clashed. Her robes similar to Kae'buir's for the exception of the extra fabric and color. Not to mention the armored vambraces. Kae'buir's robes were blue and silver proof of his mother's relationship with Jan'buir, General Skywalker watched in amusement half listening to what Jango had to say.

Nova had left with ba'buir Jester to take Hevy, Cutup, and Droidbait hunting as well as to start their training, that they would all witness, the woman who his mother spared with wore a gold plated Beskar circlet with a Mythasour at it's center that had a pair of Mandalorian blood rubies for eyes. Her robes were based on the High Republic, but with Mandalorian influence.

Cody was shocked to see how much control the young verd'ika had with a lightsaber, like it came naturally for her. A second person entered the fight this one wore Mandalorian Beskar'gam. When the spar finished Rex chuckled "Someone is acting like Commander Bly,"

Cody gave his vod'ika a glare that could melt the ice caps of Hoth. Rex walked away chuckling as Ca'tra Kryze looked over at him and gave him a cheeky flirty wink before leaving the training room "Lady Kaede, who was that?" Commander Tano asked

"The young woman who spared with me is Ca'tra Kryze; Dutchess Satine Kryze niece." his mother explained, "As for the armored Mandalorian; that is Revana Ordo, the last of House Ordo."

Jango pales at that name "They are quite skilled," Obi-wan remarked, "Especially, Ca'tra,"

His mother smiled softly at his General "Nova, taught Revana, believe it or not," his mother replied, "She was self-taught mostly, but has far better control than most her age,"

Cody kept any eye on Revana, her helmet was off and her hair was just as dark as Nova's her eyes the same gray also "Revana is of Revan and Canderous's bloodline," Kaede said, "Needless to say force for bid, Nova falls in battle, Revana is next in line to be Mand'alor."

"Nova has bounced back from her self appointed suicide attempt." Obi-wan remarked.

His mother sighed "You don't understand," Nova lost all color, she was drowning in the darkness of the darkside she consumed over her long life."

Obi-wan was silent "I didn't mean to..."

"Of course, you didn't Master Kenobi, but it is how the Tal'graanola keep from falling, no one has the heart to kill Nova because she has become a Ori'vod to so many it was best she left and did things that way instead of someone finding her in her rooms or worse having to hunt her, she would have made a powerful foe that not even the Jedi Order would be able to stand against."

Kark, Nova had been that karking bad.

***********

The trill of the hunt, it always brought the best out in any Mandalorian, but for a Mandalorian Tal'graanola? It was all the more thrilling, they had arrived on Concordia where there had been reports of children being brought in by the ship load. To think the Death Watch would resort to killing families again and indoctrinate children with their propaganda.

Nova scented the air the smell of ade's fear thick in the air. Jester to her left, Hevy to her right, Cutup and Droidbait at her back "When hunting remember to analyze the situation, feel the vibrations of the ground under your boots, scent the air, hear the beating of hearts, smaller beats are ade, stronger beats are adults. Use your gifts to weed out the most corrupt out of the group and take them down never drink from an innocent unless invited to do so." Nova said.

The trio nodded "Also, make your kills clean, there are ade here, we don't wish to scare them." Jester added

"Use your speed, agility, stealth, and strength, Jester and I will disarm the bombs they have," Nova said.

The five Tal'graanola took to the ground at blinding speed, zeroing in on her first target she used the force and crushed their heart. They crumpled as Hevy moved to clear the body out of the way.

The armor would be taken to the temple and melted down for foundlings, the weapons take also. Nova froze at one of the cells, the blood was similar to Jango's...this was his missing Ori'vod! How dare they harm the aliit of one of her own! She tore the cell door off causing the woman to flinch "Peace, ori'vod of Jango Fett of House Mereel, I am Nova Viszla, I mean you no harm,"

The woman looked at her in awe as she held her hand out to her. Jango's sister took it without hesitation as Jester arrived with the ade that were taken from their homes. They went to the surface to see that the newborn Tal'graanola had fed well. The bodies were currently being burned as Kal and his group came up "The armor and weapons have been loaded, we have reached out to surviving aliit but no word as of yet," Kal remarked.

Nova nodded as she supported Jango's sister "This one is hurt bad, they have put her through the ringer, be gentle with her she has been beaten and ka'ra knows what else." Nova said.

Kal nodded and lead Jango's sister to the medical bay of the ship as Hevy moved to her side "She smells like the Prime,"

"That is because she is his long lost ori'vod that he believed dead." Nova replied.

Jester sighed sadly "I will adopt her as I did Jango, she is his remaining blood relation...well next to the Vode,"

"She will need to spend time with Kaede, and heal first, there is no telling what they did to her," Nova remarked

"Jango is going to be out for blood after this," Jester remarked

"No kidding," Nova said

************

Fives just and Echo had just finished with training when a familiar fur and spiked shouldered figure came prowling around the corner. Fives grinned "Ori'vod!"

The black furred dire-cat's head snapped up as Fives dropped to his knees to stair Revan in the eyes. Fives grinned as did Echo when Revan tackles them in a Dire-cat's hug. Loud purrs and grunts echoed off the walls. Echo and Fives walked on either side of their ori'vod while they went to speak with their buir.

Upon their arrival they saw the last thing that they would have ever seen with the feared Jango Fett. His helmet was off as tears of blood streamed down his face. Their mother holding him stroking his head soothingly "Is everything alright?" Echo asked concern clear in his voice.

Their mother looked at them "Your buir, is just going through a difficult time right now, he just found out that his older sister was found alive, in a cell held for years by Death Watch,"

Revan mewled loudly and padded over to their buir. May as well joined their ori'vod's side.

***********

Arla Fett had been brought right to her as soon as they landed, Kix and Helix we're taking care of the ade. Kaede had left Jango with Revan, Fives, and Echo. Arla was flinching when ever she would touch her, so beatings may not be the only horror Arla had to suffer at the hands of Death Watch. Kaede looked at her sister-in-law "Easy, ori'vod or I will be forced to sedate you, and I don't want to have to explain that to my husband,"

Arla nodded and allowed her to run several tests, just as she feared. Sexual assault with a miscarriage. She would have to put in a request for a Jedi Mind Healer, there was no way in hell she could deal with this, she wasn't qualified for such. Arla glanced around the room "Jan'ika?"

Kaede got on the comlink to Boba "Boba sweety can you get your father for me?"

"Yes, mom, but buir may be asleep in a cuddle pile with Revan, Echo, and Fives," Boba replied.

Kaede smiled softly "Send me a holo of that, if he is still asleep."

"Okay mom,"

Kaede walked back over to Arla and tended to some more of her wounds before Boba came running in with a grin "Boba get back here!" her husband's voice sounded.

Arla blinked at Boba as Jango came into the Medical Bay stoping dead in his tracks upon the sight of his ori'vod. Tears welled up in his eyes again as he walked over to Arla and dropped to his knees "Jan'ika...you look so much like buir,"

Boba gave her a questioning look as she ushered him out of the room "Mom who was she?" Boba asked

"Remember your buir's sister Arla who he thought dead my dear Boba?"

Boba nodded "Nova found her alive in a cell held by Death Watch,"

Boba's eyes widened "She has been through a lot,"

Boba nodded as a female's laughter came out of the room a soft smile came to her face as she and Boba headed to the mess hall.

***********

Nova walked the halls of the Temple, to the shrine of the original Knights of Mandalore. She bowed her head in respect as she turned to face the face of her father's statue "Buir, I found my mate, oh how you must dread it so,"

"Nova my darling daughter,"

The force ghost of her father appeared before her a soft smile on his face "I dread yes, but as a father who loves his ad, who has accomplish so much, soon your greatest trial will begin,"

"The Dark Saber," she said.

Her father nodded "Yes, my daughter, soon you will take your place as Mand'alor,"

With a final smile her buir began to fade "The Vode are depending on you..."

Nova stood in silence as a pair of arms wrapped around her waist. The scent of her mate's blood filled her nasal cavity filling her with warmth. She turned to look at him a soft smile on his face and so much promise in his eyes.

Fives leaned down and kissed her lips softly as she heard the laughter of the original Knights of Mandalore and her father's groan...
