A long time ago in a galaxy pretty damn far away...
Cosmic Divine Crystalline
Episode X: Forging Alliances
The Illusive Man has attacked Earth with his army, Cerberus. Now he is changing his faction into the Star Cerberus Empire. It's goal to control the known galaxy and planets to form ultimate control. Earths forces fell and yet rebellions still scourge the lands to rebel against the tyranny of the Star Cerberus Empire. Earth still rebels but without any help, they will eventually lose.
The Illusive Man has found out there is a secret gateway to a mysterious force that connects all life in the entire universe and wishes to seize it to control not just their galaxy, but all the universe for his mysterious ultimate plan. He has also gathered a few more people to help him in this quest for ultimate control and has a secret experiment in motion. Star Cerberus Empire will begin searching for this hidden gateway with their technology and once found, will be doomsday.
After the fall of Earth, the Gorgon Family made it out with their friends and allies away from earth and made it to the planet Onderon where they have been staying at for the past six months after settling there. They know what they must do but before that they must gather anyone and everyone who are willing to fight and risk their lives to stop the Illusive Man from his ultimate goal of total control.
Chapter 1:
The city of Iziz on the planet of Onderon was busy as usual, at the marketplace was Serenity looking at available flesh for sale from sentient species. Nearby was Mangle purchasing her order of flesh running up to Serenity. "I got din din!" Mangle said holding the bag up to Serenity who nodded. "Just ordering mine too, and trying to get a shipment to our place for our other sisters." She said getting her package of meat and walked away with Mangle.
As the two of them walked together suddenly Serenity bumped into a red haired man about her age wearing a black outfit with a red shirt under it, behind his back was a white field pattern and a rose pattern over it.
"Watch it!" He shouted at her as he was also wearing a white eye mask of some sort and had horns curved back on his forehead that went back over his head slightly. He was a faunus species.
Serenity sighed shouting. "I'm sorry!" She said and kept walking with Mangle who just shook her head.
Nearby was a large screen on one of the buildings at the market square where it was showing a report on the Galaxy's take over by the newly formed Star Cerberus Empire. The reporter speaking over how Onderon is possibly next in their conquest of control. The citizens began speaking amongst themselves scared and the militia walked in to settle everyone down and to ask questions.
"They are coming here." Serenity said to Mangle as they walked away from the crowd.
"Do we tell Uncle Qrow?" Mangle asked pickpocketing someone while walking by them as Serenity frowned at her for doing it but replied to her sister. "Yes." Serenity said with a sigh having a worried look on her face.
Suddenly Ignis ran up to them panting. "I found you!" He said as Serenity blinked a few times in shock. "Ignis! Where have you been? Where's Noctis and the others?" She asked him rushing to grab some water to give him as he took it taking a long sip of water.
Ignis gave her the bottle when he was finished and then wiped his mouth. "Forgive me, I was parched." He said taking another breath before speaking again. "Gladio and Prompto are here, we learned that you were here after what happened to Earth. Noctis is missing, it's a long story but he was taken into another dimension and there is no way we can rescue him. It came unexpectedly too by a man who claims to be working for the Illusive Man. The bloody arse of a man he is!" Ignis said straightening his gloves. "Forgive my language ladies." He then said tipping his glasses against his face further.
"Don't fucking worry about language you ass hole." Mangle said to him as Serenity whacked her in the head before speaking to Ignis. "Damn this isn't good. Well, let's go find Prompto and Gladious then." She said as the three ventured back behind some buildings following Ignis' lead.
They eventually found both of them nearby on a bridge looking over a canal and Gladious nodded at Serenity as Prompto rushed over to Mangle. "Hey! miss me?" He asked her. "Uh, yeah!" She said blinking a few times. "She has a boyfriend." Serenity chimed in as Prompto suddenly let out a sad sigh. "Aw man, well I hope he's treating you good! It's been forever!" Prompto said laughing patting Mangles head as Mangle turned red glaring at him.
"We heard what happened to Earth, other things got us occupied if Ignis didn't fill you in about it." Gladious said to Serenity. "He did fill me in and I'm very sorry for Noctis, but at least he's alive somewhere." Serenity said to encourage them. "I heard the Empire is on its way here." Gladious said to them. "Then we must be ready to leave I'd hope." Ignis said looking at Serenity. "I know Uncle Qrow was supposed to be talking to the King and Queen of this planet right now at the palace far off over there. We should go there and see if he's made any progress to getting the help of the Onderon military." She said to them as Ignis rubbed his chin. "Onderon has always been independent, they would never let the Empire take over but they also are stubborn not to join up with anyone as well. This could be a tricky alliance indeed with the Systems Alliance." Ignis said as they all thought for a moment before Mangle spoke up. "Well come on let's go!" Mangle yelled to them as they ventured toward the palace.
Qrow was sitting at the throne table with paper work around him and datapads of information zooming through the screens. "So you mean to tell me, you won't side with us to making a big alliance?" Qrow asked rubbing the temple of his left head looking at the King and Queen across the table. "It would be ridiculous for us too! We are proud outstanding people of Onderon! We have won our battles for years and years without help." The king said as the queen just kept looking away as if not liking this meeting one bit. Qrow noticing this then looked at the king. "Why don't you let your wife speak for once." Qrow said as the King glared at him.
"How dare you! My wife is with me on this!" He shouted looking at his wife. "Tell him!"
The queen looked to her husband then to Qrow. "I will let our armies join up with you." She said as the King suddenly was in shock and before he could speak she spoke up to him. "We are going to lose this war and you know it to be true. We need to evacuate Iziz and all our people on the planet to join up with the Alliance forces at the Vergaso Asteroid belt." She said to him as the King shook his head. "No!" He said crossing his arms to her. "No sex then." She said as the King facepalmed himself. "We will evacuate all forces." He said with a heavy sigh.
Qrow just smirked nodding at the queen and stood up taking a bow. "Then perhaps you should set the alarm immediately, if the reports are true they will be here by tomorrow." Qrow said to them as he looked outside as it was getting evening. The King looked at his announcer. "Send a message to all our reporters in and out of Iziz to pull out and head to the nearest spaceports immediately." He said as the announcer bowed and walked off with guards.
"My people are proud people." The King said to Qrow who only gave him a handshake. "They will be alive, that will be what truly counts." Qrow said and then walked off. "I got to gather my nieces and friends to the Normandy and we are heading off to try for another alliance." He said to the King of Onderon. "And who will that be?" The King asked while gathering his things. "First the Crimson Kingdom, then the Azure Kingdom, and then... 'her' family's clan hiding somewhere on a forest planet last we heard after the fall of Earth." Qrow said as the King of Onderon suddenly knew who he was speaking of as Qrow mouthed it to him.
"You are brave to ask for their help along with the Crimson Kingdom and the Azure Kingdom at that." He said to Qrow.
"Heh, I got charm." Qrow said walking out laughing and walked right into Serenity and the others. "Oh hey- oh hey! You guys are alive!?" Qrow asked looking at Ignis and Gladious and Prompto. "We will explain later, for now, I suggest we be ready to leave." Ignis said as the alarms began to sound off with the announcement of the planets retreat. "It's going to be chaos on the street's we best hurry." Qrow said running with them toward the safehouse they live in with all the daughters of drayconivous and allies and friends with them.
Once they got there Qrow began getting all of them rounded up and preparing to move out. "Aw, what about my narcotics!? I need to bring all my equipment!" Mangle shouted as Mismagius shouted at her. "You began selling that crap after we left Earth." She said. "Yeah, and I need to keep doing it to make money!" Mangle yelled back and soon Mienshao grabbed Mangle dragging her away from her stash. "No!" Mangle screamed clawing at the ground as she was dragged.
Every one of them quickly made it through the busy streets with what they could bring and headed toward the spaceport that was crowded with people. "Over here! Docking Bay two-two b." Vulpix said to them as the girls rushed by her. Seven hundred and two daughters of Drayconivous rushed through passed people and aliens alike trying to escape. "Ah, Qrow greetings!" Mordin said scurring up to them as fast as he could. "Head inside Mordin." Qrow said helping him passed and he ran over to a Onderon Militia guard. "Any news?" Qrow asked him. "None yet. We have five fleets already left for hyperspeed and thirteen more still on the way." He said to him. "passenger crews?" Qrow asked. "Heading out first before the rest of our fleet does." The guard said and then helped a family into a shuttle.
A few hours went by as the civilian ships made it out with escort of each military fleet of Onderon. "I see the King and Queen made it out now." Qrow said looking at the charts as two Onderon guards stood there waiting. "You two go." Qrow said to them as the one shook his head. "Not until you guys leave and the orphanage team leaves." He said as Qrow blinked a few times. "Orphanage team? You didn't get the kids out yet!?" Qrow said getting up close only to be pushed back. "Not our orders but our General!" He said to Qrow.
Qrow ran out mad running over to the militia camp at the spaceport and went up to General Garza and punched her square in the face. "You old hag!" Qrow growled as two guards pushed him and aimed their guns at him. "How dare you." The General said wiping her mouth from the blood pouring out. "You didn't get the kids out yet!?" Qrow yelled. "They are only orphans." She said glaring at him.
"We have to think about our weapons and ammunitions before we help children with no importance." She said and turned around hearing a beeping sound on the monitor. "They are here." A guard said at the computer looking at the General.
The morning sky showed two Star Cerberus Empire warships coming down from space and beginning to bombard the city of Iziz with small starfighters swarming down to bombard the streets and alleyways.
Qrow ran over quickly to Serenity who was waiting in shock. "We got to head to an orphanage now!" He said and then in a sudden, the city nearby was sent into a blaze of explosions. Serenity and Qrow looking at it in shock only to see children running across the bridge to them. "Save the-" Qrow started until one blast from orbit exploded the bridge and took down the rest of the city behind it with the children evaporated by laser fire. Serenity stood they're in horrifying shock as everything around her went blank, no noise and no sense to her as she looked around at everything collapsing having a PTSD moment. Qrow quickly shook her to her senses. "Serenity!" He shouted as Serenity shook her head and snapped back into reality looking at Qrow.
"Th-they're dead." Serenity said beginning to cry as Qrow patted her cheek. "Hey hey! Stay with me here I can't have you get emotional yet!" He said trying to get her to her feet. "We got to run now!" Qrow shouted as they ran with the rest of the Onderon military toward the Normandy. Once they ran inside Qrow yelled at Mangle at the cockpit with Hans Humpty beside her on the other seat. "Your sisters in!" Qrow asked. "Yes, ready!?" Mangle yelled back. "Go!" Qrow shouted as the Normandy hovered up and flew itself out of the space port before a few orbital strikes took the space port down.
As they were flying toward space Qrow took a few breaths and rubbed his face looking at a Onderon guard. "Is your fleets going to the coordinates?" He asked. "Yes, they are." He said to him. "How many of you are with us here." Qrow asked.
"Myself and four other guards made it out, and our General." He said and then Serenity gave a mean growl noticing the Onderon General and she leaped right at her with her hand out stretched grabbing the Generals face and slamming her head into a terminal and kept smashing her face into it yelling in anger. "You let them die!" Serenity kept saying about the orphan children and then two of her sisters had to pull her off. "Let me go! Let me end her!" Serenity screamed. The General weakly got up and pulled her gun out aiming it at Serenity. "You little bitch." She said and soon a shot was fired but not from her gun, but from Prompto with his handgun.
The Onderon Guards kept quiet processing this and looked to Qrow. "We never liked her anyway, making so many mistakes in our military and regardless of civilian casualties." One said and the others just nodded. "Let this then be a lesson." Qrow said and walked off. "Someone space her body out the airlock for me." Qrow asked as the Onderon guards nodded going to the body.
"Uncle, we got Admiral Anderson on the comlink." One of the daughters of Drayconivous said as Qrow gave a nod. "Patch him through." He said entering the hologram room. The holographic image of Anderson came through as Qrow gave a nod and opened his flask to drink from it.
"I see you have to drink every time we meet." Anderson said chuckling as Qrow just smirked. "Yeah, you'd be surprised who else I drink in front of." Qrow said putting it up. "You heard of Onderon?" Qrow asked. "Yes, we did. We just got the last bit of their fleet here, where is their general?" Anderson asked. Qrow just sighed. "Dead." Qrow said simply. "I won't ask why then. I just need confirmation. Well, at least the Onderon people can elect a new General." He said to Qrow as Qrow just nodded frowning.
"I miss Earth too." Anderson said reading Qrows frown. "Six months. The Onderon people are very good to us." Qrow nodded after saying that. "But that kindness will diminish if we don't stop the Illusive Man and his plans." Anderson said to Qrow and then another holographic image is shown of Maychiro with Anderson.
"How are you doing babe?" Qrow asked her. "Fine, I am going to greet the King and Queen of Onderon and get datafiles started for an alliance with them." She said.
"This isn't going to be easy you know." Anderson said to Qrow as Maychiro gave a blow kiss to Qrow before she disappeared from the holograph leaving Anderson and Qrow alone. Qrow giving a wave to her then answered Anderson. "I know it isn't." He said to him. "The committee was thinking about putting a leader in charge of well finding help and making an alliance." He said crossing his arms rubbing his face. "And they want me?" Qrow asked blinking. "They want Serenity." Anderson replied.
Qrow kept silent thinking for a moment. "Serenity?" Qrow asked. "The committee believes she has proven herself many times and can be the best leader your group has." He said to him as Qrow took a long sip from his flask emptying it. "Right." Qrow said sighing. "I hope she is mentally ready though for this. She can be a hot head like her dad." He said as Anderson just chuckled. "Good, we need a hot head to help us gather some allies." He said as they both laughed. "And enemies." Anderson then said with a serious tone as Qrow kept silent.
"Our enemies becoming our hero's huh?" Qrow said quirking an eyebrow. "We need everyone help. Gangsters, and or enemies to the Alliance. Maybe if we all come together we can save our future from mass control." Anderson said as Qrow just looked down. "I hope Serenity is ready for the task." Anderson said to him. "So do I." Qrow said and the holograph of Anderson disappears.
Qrow stood there for a moment before walking out of the room and being greeted by Dr. Mordin who was listening outside of the room. "Should tell her?" Mordin asked. "Yeah, I'll go talk to her." Qrow said to him but Mordin stopped him from going. "No, will speak to her. Know how to keep her calm. Her hearing this may make her startled and feel as if she is not ready. Must not scare her, must encourage her." He said as Qrow sighed. "Good luck doctor." Qrow said patting his shoulder walking over to check on two of his nieces.
