I own nothing except a few characters and the plot. There are a few Law & Order things included just to add some New York flavor.

TROOPS: NEW YORK

RETURN OF THE CHOSEN ONE


NEW JERSEY

Neither of them was sure what had happened, but they were on Earth looking as if nothing had happened to them iver the past several decades although their memories were intact.

"Are you sure you know where you're going?" The female asked.

"I've been to that place quite a few times through The Force. I'm just not sure how they'll react to seeing us considering that the last time one of them saw me I was wearing that awful suit. This new generation of Imperial officer is very accepting of people. They have officers of different races, religions including some Jedi, females, and one of their officers lives an alternative lifestyle. You'll like them and I'm sure our twins would like them too. Firmus seems to like them and he branded Palpatine as an insane traitor a couple of years ago." The male said.

"I can imagine his shock at seeing the real you." She said.

"Myers already told him I'm sure. Here's our ride over there." He said as they entered a train station for their trip to New York City.


"Max, give me back my phone." Lieutenant Colonel Darnell Hollister said angrily.

"I'm not done with it yet." Replied Lieutenant Colonel Max Walertin.

"Give him back his phone Walertin. There's a VIP due here today and he has executed people in the past for much less then it takes for me to head-slap you." Michael Myers said as he walked into the squadroom. Max promptly returned the phone.

"My text messages are private and I want them to stay that way." Darnell said.

"Keep it in your pockets. He likes to go through people's drawers." Colonel Richie Terrik added.

"Where's Rex?" Michael asked.

"Here, Sir." Came a female voice as the recently transferred Lieutenant Colonel Erica Rex walked in.

"I told you and Hollister never to call me Sir." Michael said as she snatched an electronic device off of Max's desk from where she stood.

"And I told Max to stay out of my desk." Erica said

"Don't get snippy with me, Rex. Walertin, only the Rat Squad goes through people's desks and takes things out of them without asking first your teammates expect better from you."

"We expect it, but we're used to this." Richie said earning a head-slap from Michael. A phone rang as Colonel Tevin Felth walked in and answered it.

"Felth. Who's here? Of course, send them up right away. I'll tell Myers and Admiral Piett." He called to Michael as Admiral Firmus Piett walked in with his morning cup of tea.

"Boss, Admiral. Your VIPs are here and on their way up."

"I was not expecting them for another hour." Piett said.

"Maybe they took the train like you do." Max said. The VIPs soon walked in with Lieutenant Colonel Derik Lavi.

"Michael, Firmus." The male said.

"Nice to finally see you in the flesh. Everyone, meet Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala. Or as many of you grew up knowing them, Lord and Mrs. Darth Vader." Anakin frowned at the mention of Vader.

"Don't think of me as Vader." Anakin said as Erica walked over and began going through Max's desk drawers.

"Stop taking my stuff and know that one side of my family came from the same DNA batch as Boba Fett and can kill you just as easily as Derik can without even getting up from my desk." Anakin picked up on Erica's Force Signature. It felt somewhat familiar to him. He wasn't sure why, but it did.

"Do you have food here?" Padme asked trying to change the subject. Tevin reached into a filing cabinet drawer and pulled out some menus.

"This diner delivers, so does this deli, and these chinese and pizza places aren't open yet. There's a bunch of fast food places in this city that are serving breakfast too." He said as Padme walked over to him.

"That is a lot of choices." Padme replied.

"New York City tends to feel like a compacted Earth version of Coruscant. Anything can be found here, including knockoff designer goods produced in factories where labor is cheap." Firmus explained feeling at ease around the man who had executed two officers right in front of him.

"The Houstons shop at Loehmann's, not Chinatown Knockoffs." Darnell said.

"Most of those are handbags and electronics. I once took Anakin's old troops on a tour of Chinatown. We arrested 30 people and seized thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of fake goods. Nobody wanted to talk until deals were offered. Then we traced it back to Nal Hutta. Coruscant was more then happy to have Rogue Squadron explain the Imperial position on counterfeiting to the Hutts and to Black Sun who did the transporting for them." Max said.
