Rebel Defenders: The Grand Admiral (Book 3 MCU/Star Wars crossover)

Much Fear in You

Claire and Colleen were surrounded by four shipping and receiving droids. Her students surrounded by two. Every droid had a heavy blaster rifle in their arms and stood a few feet from everyone in the room. Colleen could see her grandfather's katana hanging on the wall just a few feet from her. With it Colleen knew she could destroy the droids closest to her but...there were still the droids near her students to take into account. She didn't have any special powers or Jedi abilities so she'd be unable to protect them. Colleen ran her hands through her hair trying to remain calm but struggling to do so.

"You know it's crazy how every time I settle down somewhere I encounter crazy stuff like this. Stuff involving the Jedi or superpowered vigilantes." Claire whispered

"All I see are my terrified students. A bunch of droids and a crazy dark side user muttering to himself about Spiderman (whose dead by the way) and someone called Iron Fist." Colleen replied

"That's exactly what I mean. Maul is worried about this Iron Fist and he wants some weapon from Kanan and Ezra to combat the Iron Fist." Claire speculated

"Or Maul is insane and is going to kill us the minute Ezra and Kanan walk through the door like a deranged clown with a weird sense of humor." Colleen argued

"If he's using four droids to guard you because your a trained martial artist master then whoever this Iron Fist is has Maul lacking confidence in his forces. Trust me I know how bad guys think. Fisk, Kilgrave, Diamondback and Maul...are all the same." Claire said

Colleen shook her hand and remained silent staring at her katana hanging on the wall. She continued to envision how she could destroy the droids using her weapon.

Maul stood inside the Ghost which was parked on top of the roof of the dojo cloaked from view by passerby walking near the dojo. He stared at the paintings of the Starbird inside the airship amused that the symbol of the Rebellion against the Empire adorned the walls.

"I assumed you used this airship solely for transport. Yet as I walk through the confines of your airship I realized that this space is your home. This airship holds sentimental value to you all." Maul said with a slight chuckle

"You looking to move in?" Zeb asked sarcastically with a slight growl

"Captain Syndulla," Maul said ignoring Zeb, "would you do me the honor and give me a tour of your airship."

"Well the air lock is behind me. You can go use it if you wanna see yourself out." Hera joked bitterly

"Show me around. I insist." Maul demanded pointing his lightsaber at Hera

"No!" Zeb cried out struggling against his chains

"Hera don't." Sabine begged

"A Mandalorian speaking against me? You of all people should trust me. Did I not once rule your people?" Maul asked

Sabine bowed her head in shame at a loss for words. Hera resigned to the hopelessness of the situation rose to her feet. She lead Maul out of the living room quarters while Sabine confirmed to Zeb that Maul was telling the truth. Maul at one time ruled all of Mandalore/Texas.

"Where does one who hides his identity, hide his legacy?" Maul asked aloud as Hera guided him

Maul commented on the strange smell of Zeb's room and then groaned at the colorful paintings that filled Sabine's room. He smiled in satisfaction once Hera led Maul to Kanan's room.

"Ah yes this is it." Maul said

Hera grimaced in pain as she was forced to watch Maul invade Kanan's personal space.
