For 3 weeks the base has stood tall against the onslaught of the Galra. Little information has been obtained from outside earth but from what they could find out the republic fleet was defending coruasaunt and key planets of the republic while earth was invaded. Brian and shiro had lead a courageous defense but the events of the week would decide whether the republic would live…. Or die.
Brian and a squad of soldiers walked through the abandoned Subway line weapons at the ready. The boots and bottom portions of there armor covered in dried mud as they walked.
"What the hell are we doing down here?"
"Searching for a way into the base. There are still refugees on the other side of that sheild." brian said as he came to a door in the opening it lead to a basement which led to what remained of bunnyburrow. The clones followed brian up one by one until they all were up.
"Jesus this is what's left of bunnyburrow….holy fuck." a clone said. Brian and the other continued until they reached a building and went inside. Upon entering they found several tattered bunnies huddled together. They all went closer at the appearance of the clones, brian stepped forward and felt something press against his helmet.
"I wouldn't do that love otherwise I'm onna 'ave to call the cavalry." a voice with a british accent said. Brian turned quickly to find tracer pointing a pistol at his face.
"Last time we met the sun was rising." brian said and tracer dropped the gun.
"Didnt think it would be you bringing in survivors. The galra troops can disguise themselves as anyone." tracer said holstering her pistol.
"I heard about that. Let's get these civis inside the shield the galra will probably start there bombardment again soon." brian said putting his helmet back on and walked out as everyone followed. As the group closed in on the entrance to the tunnel a single shot rang out and barely missed brian. The civi's ran into the hole as the clones engaged the glara droids which seemingly appeared out of nowhere.
"Tracer take jax and jinx and get those civilians in." brian said as he shot a droid. As a another took its place a shield implanted itself inside the droids chest and the droid disappeared into the shadows.
"THE FUCK WAS THAT!?" a clone asked only for brian to run to the hole followed by the clones. Once everyone was in brain used detonators to blow the hole closed.
Shiro sat in his chair decrypting enemy transmissions when a transmission was broadcasted.
"Admiral Shiro i have a proposition for you." Zarkon said
"Whatever you have i dont want Zarkon…. We will win against you again." shiro said gritting his teeth.
"Really… you hear that paladins." Zarkon said moving to the side for shiro to see all of the paladins cuffed and with guards by them.
"Wha… how?!"
"Meet me at these coordinates in one hour or she dies." zarkon said as the transmission cut. Shiro sat back in his chair as the coordinates flashed on his screen.
A hour later shiro sat at the end of a table with zarkon at the other end with katie.
"Im here now what do you want?" shiro said angrily.
"I want you to deactivate the sheilds tomorrow at 14:00hrs and help my troops wipe out the resistance and then i will let you and katie go along with all those who surrendered." Zarkon said
"And if i dont?"
"Well you will be wanting to look for a new wife." Zarkon said with a evil smile. Shiro's expression changed entirely and he finally caved. There was no way he would forgive himself for either betraying brian and the republic or katie but he had to save katie.
The next day shiro was on the command bridge as 14:00 approached and he saw the galra amassing.
"Seems the galra are gonna try at the sheild again but it wont fall its too strong." brian said stadning next to shiro. Shiro looked at brian and then at his hand, he watched as the galra attacked and when it struck 14:00 deactivated the sheilds causing rounds to explode in the base
"WHAT?!" brian said with surprise. The tower was then toppled as a loose round hit it and it came crumbling down. When brian got up he could feel the dirt on his face and saw galra soldiers killing clones and soldiers and looked up to see shiro with his pistol drawn.
"Im sorry brian…. I had to for katie." shiro said. Brian knocked the pistol out of his hands and charged at him only to have shiros hand shoved through his stomach. Brian fell back and was propped up by a peice of concrete. As he held his stomach together Zarkons ship landed and he strolled off walking towards brian with katie in tow.
"Very well shiro you have done well." Zarkon said as troops surrounded shiro.
"We had a deal… now follow through." shiro said. Zarkon threw Katie into shiro's arms and then kneeled to be face to face with brian
"You finally lost. Your army is spread and defeated, i have won." zarkon said
"You *cough* aren't very smart. The general knew you would come after him he knew you would try this but he was smarter. How do you think he knew the exact day you would attack." the brian look alike said as the hologram disguise went away to reveal thorner. "You have lost Zarkon." thorner said and as if on cue the entire republic fleet came out of hyperspace. Zarkon watched as they engaged his fleet and turned deeply angered toward thorner
"Your going to die today anyway."
"I may die…. But dreamworks will die with me." thorner said. Zarkon raised his pistol to thorners head, only to stop and look up. On the horizon he saw a lone soldier stood in the sun. Zarkon watched as suddenly behind soldiers started appearing, Soldiers who had once been on dreamworks side and those who also were always with disney. Beside the soldier stood captain america and the avengers then clones and others as they formed a giant line.
"CHAAAARGE!" Brian yelled igniting his lightsaber and running towards the enemy. The galra soldiers charged back as did zarkon leaving thorner leaning on the rock holding his guts in. as the 2 forces clashed brian cut down droid after droid charging at zarkon. Brian and zarkon both charged and clashed tumbling away as a mortar hit next to them. Brian used the force and pushed zarkon away and destroyed other droids. Iron man covered brian who charged back at zarkon. As Zarkon charged at brian again brian collected the force and pushed Zarkon onto a piece of rebar that impaled him, brian continued to push until zarkons back was against concrete. Brian walked over to him as the battle raged around them and kneeled next to Zarkon
"You failed Zarkon, Dreamworks will die today but you will not. You will stand trial for your war crimes." brian said as zarkon starts to laugh
"You think i organized this? You think i could do it? I may have led the galra but there has always been a bigger picture. There are worse things than death." zarkon said as he shifted and pierced his heart with the rebar and fell over limp. Brian stood up and watched as the droids continued to fight, and lose to the now superior clone army. Brian smiled at the sight as the last of the droids were defeated and the galra went into deep space, the republic had won again
3 months later
The clones all sat in seat inside the giant auditorium waiting for brian to go on stage. Many had started to grow beards while others still wore the uniform.
¨why did brian call us here?¨
¨i have no idea.¨ thorner said as brian walked on stage
¨Men, years ago i asked you to join me in the fight against tyranny, we won and have won every fight we have engaged in but today…. Today I want to inform you that there is a decision on the senate floor. This decision, if voted for, will mean the complete dissolvement of the Galactic Movie Republic and the Forming of the first movie empire.¨ brian said to the shock of everyone
¨what are you proposing?¨
¨if voted for the 123rd, who has fought for the republic and democracy for years, will disappear. Our record burned our bases and houses disappear and we go back into the cryogenic freezing chamber. I'm not going to force anyone who doesn't want to do that to do that I want us all to have a option. Our families can come as well which means we can go into hiding for years and still awake with everyone alive.¨
¨sir im sorry but this is crazy, why go into hiding when we can just dissolve the 123rd?¨
¨because there is no dissolving it, part of the decision includes keeping all military personal in the military until death meaning, we could die fighting for a empire.¨
Everyone sat there thinking for a second in shock and thinking.
¨i agree with the general this is the only option anymore.¨"one clone said as others agreed by the end of the day the clones started setting up the cryogenic freezing chambers and setting up for the dissapearing act.
3 days later
Brian stood in the command tower overlooking the base when the door opened and hiccup came in
"Im guessing it happened then."
"Yes, the Vote went through the official dissolving the republic to reform it into a empire will begin soon." hiccup said walking in. "how are you holding up?"
"Im doing ok hiccup. What about you?"
"Astrid and i are going to move somewhere else soon, with the empire forming we think its better that we stay away from the limelight for now."
"Hiccup what if i told you that today would be the last day anyone ever saw the 123rd?"
"I would call you crazy…. Why ask?"
"Because it's true, since the empire is forming we wont fight and die for it. Not again the galaxy is better off without the 123rd for now."
"I understand. Who all isnt going into the chambers?"
"Asuna, Kirito, Klein, Sinon, Eugeo, Keith, Hunk, Romelle, everyone from attack on titan, most of the wives wont go and no children are. After that i dont know hiccup.¨
¨well i wish you luck brian I will talk to the others to make sure we stay in touch.¨
¨hiccup what would you do if the Empire became to powerful.¨
¨start the rebellion, and if and when we do we will come for the 123rd battalion because we need the ghosts.¨
"Then hiccup i wish you luck." brian said and shook hiccups hand. As hiccup drove away from the base he felt a rumble through the car. He looked in his mirror to see the base slowly disappearing, he quickly turned around and tried getting back but when he did all he saw was a wide open grassy plain. The houses around brians house and brians house was gone, trains gone, the base gone everything tying the 123rd to be real and all the proof was gone. Records burned themselves and only left memories as hiccup watched as the galaxy was enveloped in a darkened shroud of the empire
This is the actual end. We have come a long way to get here and its been fun but now everyone is gone. I hope you all enjoyed the story and i cant wait to hear all the fun comments.
A small child ran past the checkpoint carrying food he had just taken to feed his siblings, behind him storm troopers followed and shot at him. The child tripped on a vine and fell down a deep embankment and into a large wooded area. He hid behind a tree as the troopers stopped for a sec then continued on. The kid ran until he found himself at another embankment, unable to climb up it he ran left until he found himself face to face with a old rusted door partially hidden behind trees. The kid pried it open and hid inside leaning against the wall and ate some food. As he ate he saw a small blinking light, curious he went over and pressed it which caused lights to dim on very low, the kid explored the place curious as ever until he reached a ice box, going in he saw what looked like people and animals frozen in ice and time. At the end he stopped and looked at the person inside the ice. He looked the person from head toe and when he looked at his face the eyes shot open.
