Me: It took a while, but I finally have a chapter. I had to think long and hard about what to put and after some inspiration from fellow authors and there cool stories, I finally have it. Also this will be an origin/explanation chapter, so don't expect to see too much fighting.
Naruto hissed as Ahsoka slapped the ice pack to the bruise on his head. "Watch it!"
It was a few hours after the last practice battle that Naruto was beaten by a large number of holo-enemies, mainly heartless, droids, and enemy ninjas and Tarkatans. A year has passed now since Naruto arrived in Hollow Bastion and he's shown some progress. Heartless are almost like animals and Kakashi had taken him and Sasuke out hunting a few times to get the feel of surviving in the wilderness. At least the weaker ones like shadows and soldiers. The droids are a little different, the B1 series just walk and shoot you so as long as you move they'll be easy to dodge, but only if it's a few and not an entire company.
The B2 are tougher so sneak attacks have to be used or a good shot to the head (or what accounted for a head). The stronger Droidekas and commando droids would be taught later on. Right now he was training on Imperial soldiers like Trandoshans, Umbarans, and Tarkatans; they were very different, especially the Tarkatans. They were almost like enemy ninjas except they like to get even closer with their bone blades, and sometimes their teeth.
Ahsoka rolled her eyes. "Take this as a lesson never to just charge in like an idiot. You gotta think these things through."
"Or maybe try something new," Jiraiya spoke up as he drank some water from a bottle. "Tomorrow someone should teach him how to use a blaster."
"You sure about that?" Ahsoka asked. "That's kinda dangerous."
Naruto snorts. "This coming from the warrior monk wielding laser swords?"
"For the last time it's plasma! Your taking classes for our history and technology for crying out loud."
Jiraiya cleared his throat. "As I was saying. Just teach Naruto how to use a blaster pistol. I just got word that Tsunade is having our ninjas learn to use new weapons and tech."
"Really!" Naruto gleefully asked.
Jiraiya nodded. "Yup. Konoha shinobi and kunoichi are being taught how to use pistols and rifles along with cloaking tech and long range communicators. Soon your going to see the best scouts, snipers, saboteurs, and assassins in the entire army."
Ahsoka scoffs. "You trying to make the rest of us look bad?"
"Haha, just take Naruto to someone who can teach him."
Ahsoka taps her chin. "I think I have someone in mind."

Was the sound that assaulted Naruto's hears as he and Ahsoka walked through the shooting range where over a dozen soldiers practiced their aim with the targets in front of them. Said targets were holographs that disappeared when a weak spot is hit or limp if say hit in the leg or hit a non-vital part and they're injured. That's the reason why mostly everyone usually shoots twice, or double tap in soldier language.
They made they're way past to the end of the shooting range and found a human man in his late fifties or so still wearing his armor except his helmet, which exposed his buzzcut white hair. The man expertly fired his two blaster pistols with ease, scoring shots between the eyes with pin point accuracy. After finishing his last holo-heartless, he turned and Naruto was surprise to see both his eyes were cybernetic and glowed blue.
"Need something, miss Tano?" He said with a firm and authoritative voice Naruto only hears from the toughest veterans.
"Fordo, I need you to teach Naruto hear how to use a pistol," Ahsoka said as she pointed at the blonde.
Fordo raised a brow. "Are you sure? I fought with his parents before. Minato was an okay shot, but Kushina couldn't hit anything."
"He'll learn," Ahsoka turned to her friend. "Naruto, you have to listen to what Fordo teaches you. He's a veteran from the clone wars and is a captain. He outranks you."
Naruto nodded. "Got it."
After Ahsoka left, Fordo grabbed three blaster pistols from the table
Fordo walked to a bench and set two down except one. The blaster was bigger then his with a longer barrel. "Alright, before you use any standard weapon, we'll start you out with these training pistols. Remember, these are real and I don't need miss Tano on my tail about you hurting yourself. This is a DL-18 blaster pistol. It is, or was, one of the best pistols out there. It was standard issue to all personal. Different then my smaller pistols, which are antiques from the clone wars; it's a little heavier, but good for 100 shots before reloading and kills at a 120 meters. It can also switch to a stun blast, but will only work at close range. You won't be given one till your older, but when you do, it will be one of your best friends. Right next to your knife."
"And keyblade!" Naruto said.
Fordo simply grunts. "There will be a time in the future when you won't be able to use your keyblade."
"People on my world have a saying: 'If you can't throw a shuriken or sharpen a kunai correctly by the time your ten, then you aren't cut out to be a ninja.'"
"That will come in handy if you lose your pistol, until then, lets continue."
He set down the DL-18 and picked a different pistol, this one with a scope and bigger barrel. "This is the DH-17 MARK II, unlike the older version, the DH-17 mk.2 is upgraded to be fully automatic without draining the 500 round power pack in less then twenty seconds. It can be switched to semi-auto and 3-round burst fire, very powerful for a pistol, but it is now more like a submachine gun, or SMG. Even after years, it's still a useful gun." (1)
He set down the DH-17 mk.2 for the last blaster. This one looked... older was the right word for it. "And this bad boy is the DL-44 heavy blaster pistol. It is more useful at close range then long, as it loses accuracy at longer ranges, but makes up for it by blasting a nice big hole in a clankers head. Course, it just doesn't cut out these days what with the replacement fairing better then this relic." (2)
Naruto cupped his chin in his hand. "Hmm, I'll take the DL-18. It's right up my alley."
Fordo handed him the blaster and he was right, it is heavy, but as heavy as a kunai at most so it will be easy to get used too. Fordo then pressed a button on the wall and a holo-shadow heartless appeared 10 feet in front of Naruto.
Naruto raised his pistol and fire, missing the shadow by a few feet.
Fordo shakes his head. "You got to aim for it."
"I did, but the power of this thing is strong."
"So as better to kill. Try again."
Naruto took his advice and aimed through the iron sights, as Fordo explained, and hits the heartless in the arm; it disappeared and Naruto smirked at his success.
"Impressive," Fordo said mockingly. "For a common heartless, but, and this is important, had it been another enemy like a Tarkatan or stronger heartless then that would have just made them angry. You got to aim for the body or head for a quick kill. Again."
After a 'killing' a few more enemies, Naruto decided to start a conversation. "So whats your story?"
"My what?" Fordo asked.
"Your story. I want to know more about other, well, alien Humans and want to see why they're different from the Humans of my world."
"I'm sure you heard the story of how humanoids spread across the stars?"
"Yeah, either the ancient Zhell from ancient Coruscant used sleeper ships to spread themselves all across the Galaxy or the ancient Rakata Infinite Empire uplifted the ancient Humans to be used as slave labor. I've heard a hundred other theories but these are the two I believe the most." (3)
Fordo chuckled. "Me as well, but truth be told I am not whole Human, but a clone, or more precisely a clone trooper."
Naruto looked at him in surprise. "Clone trooper? As in the soldiers of the Republic that were created to fight the robots of the Separatists? As in the same soldiers who fought with the Jedi and then..." He trailed off, not knowing how to continue with his sentence.
A solemn look appeared on Fordo's face. "The same ones who betrayed them and slaughtered almost every Jedi in the galaxy. I still remember fighting alongside Jedi during the Clone wars. I was an Advance Recon Commando, or ARC trooper. Some of the best clones ever created. One of my first missions was at the battle of Muunilinst where I fought with General Obi-Wan Kenobi; an amazing Jedi if I ever saw one. Many see the Jedi purges as a betrayal, but it went deeper then that. Every clone created had a bio-chip inside their heads that forced them to betray the Jedi."
A look of anger now appeared. "I don't know why we didn't see it before! We were grown in tanks, they could have done anything to us! And why use a clone army in the first place? During the war I heard of thousands of volunteers across all of Republic space wishing to sign up with the army and fight with us. It wasn't until years later when I finally had that damn chip removed that Palpatine," Fordo spat out the name with venom. "Appealed to the pacifistic senators that it would be better to use expendable vat grown clone soldiers then their people." (4)
After his rant he takes a deep breath and exhales. "But that's in the past." He turned to see Naruto standing with a blank face, thinking of what to say. "Now I fight for the Alliance of Light. I have at least a thousand brothers left, though most have retired and have families, I'm happy for them."
"What about you?" Naruto finally said.
Fordo just shrugged. "If I die in battle, then I die. I was born a soldier, I'll die a soldier." He looked and saw Naruto shooting a soldier heartless in the eye. He smirks. "Good, you're getting better for a beginner. We'll do this again next week. Why don't you go and rest."
Naruto smiles as he set the blaster down on the table. "Thanks, Fordo. And if it means anything, clones are awesome." Then he left.
Fordo smiled before he started cleaning his blasters.

Naruto started making his way towards the castle when he remembered that Eraqus left for a world he already forgot what it was called yesterday taking along Ash Brock, and Dawn. Misses Tano even left week ago to visit some friends. He sighs. Nothing to do except maybe learn some more history and boring stuff. That ain't for him. 'I really wish something would happen.' He thought.
As if answering his prayers, a familiar red car rolled up in front of him.
"Hey, Naruto! Need a lift?" Hot Rod asked.
Naruto grinned. "You bet I do!"
After apologizing to Hot Rod for throwing paint in his optics, Naruto kept following him around and asking questions about him and his kind. Hot Rod tried to ignore him, but the Human grew on him; especially after his shift, Hot Rod and Naruto shared the same love of death defying stunts. Since then, Hot Rod was made as Naruto's unofficial guardian.
Truth be told, Eraqus had Hot Rod become Naruto's guardian so as to keep an optic on him in case he tried anything of his pranking 'skills' on Hollow Bastion. Already Hot Rod had to stop Naruto from replacing Merlin's books with fake books that shoot confetti, replacing Leon's gunsword with a fake one made of rubber, and trying to paint ridiculous pictures all over the castle.
Though Hot Rod did help one time with pranking another Autobot by the name of Ratchet. Painting him pink in his sleep was hilarious, but both came to realize that pranking the millions year old medic was a horrible idea. Eraqus made them both wipe the pink off of Ratchet who then made them clean the entire Zeta memorial hospital. It took weeks to clean the whole building, but to this day, they will keep saying that it was worth it.
"So what's going on for today?" Hot Rod asked.
Naruto shrugged. "No idea. I was actually going to see Ash and Eraqus-sensei, but I remembered that they left. Why did they leave again?"
"Beats me." Hot Rod turned left and continued down the street towards the castle. "Optimus said it was on a need to know basis. By the by, Prime wanted me to bring you to him. Said something about hiding you from a rampaging Grimlock. Know anything about that?"
Naruto chuckled nervously. "I might have spray painted his visor black while he was napping."
"You're fragged."
"C'mon, you don't think he be that angry over a silly little prank..."
STOMP
"THERE YOU ARE! ROOOAAAAR!"
"AAH, he's right behind us! Get me out of here, Hot Rod!"

In another world inside a large pristine castle, a walking talking duck by the name of Donald dressed in mage clothing complete with a wizard hat walked through the corridors, passing by living brooms carrying buckets, towards a pair of giant purple doors. Donald stopped, turned towards the doors, and cleared his throat. He knocked, being courteous to his king, and a smaller opened for him.
"Good morning your majesty!" He said as he made his way towards the golden throne. "It's nice to see you this morn- WHAT!?" He suddenly exclaimed at seeing the empty throne.
A yellow dog with a green collar, the kings beloved faithful companion Pluto, appeared from behind the throne with a letter in his mouth. Donald blinked at this before taking the letter as soon as he saw the kings seal on it. After reading it carefully, he handled this situation in the most calmest manner possible.
And by that-
"WWWAAAAACCCCKKKK!"
-Running out of the throne room like a bat out of hell and screaming his head off.
He made his way towards the gardens where the captain of the royal knights, Goofy, was taking a nap on a flower bed.
"Wake up, Goofy, wake up!" Donald shouted. "This is serious!" But Goofy let out a loud snore. In anger, Donald pointed his finger to the sky and a bolt of lightning struck Goofy, waking him up.
Goofy rubbed his eyes. "Hey there, Donald, G'morning."
"We got a problem, Goofy! But don't tell anyone..."
Goofy blinked. "Queen Minnie?"
"Not even the queen."
"Daisy?"
"No, it's top secret!"
"Miss Laku?"
"No- wait, why would you mention her?"
"G'morning ladies."
Donald froze. He slowly turned around and saw a mouse in a pink dress with a golden crown, another duck in a purple dress with a tiara, and the wife of Eraqus.
The female duck placed her hands on her hips and gave Donald a stern look that said 'explain yourself'. Donald chuckled nervously.

Donald,
Sorry to rush off without sayin' goodbye, but there's big trouble brewin'. More and more stars are blinkin' out everyday. Most likely means the Empire has stepped up it's game. And that means disaster can't be far behind. I hate to leave you all but I've gotta go check into it. There are people out there with more 'keys'- keys to our survival. I need you and Goofy to help Ash and Naruto find these new keys. Got it? We need those keys or we're doomed! So go to Traverse Town and find Eraqus. I already sent him a letter so he'll point you in the right direction.
P.S.
Would you apologize to Minnie for me? Thanks, pal.
"Oh, dear! What could this mean?" Daisy exclaimed.
"It means we'll just have to trust the king." Minnie said simply.
"Gawrsh, I sure hope he's alright." Goofy said worriedly.
"I'm sure he's okay," Laku remarked. "After all, it was thanks to him that Hollow Bastion is still standing."
Donald put a fist to his chest. "Your Highness. Don't worry. We'll find the king and the keys."
"Thank you," Minnie said. "Both of you."
Donald turned to his girlfriend. "Daisy, can you take care of-"
"Of course. You be careful, now, both of you."
"Oh, and to chronicle your travels, he will accompany you." Minnie pointed to the desk.
Donald blinked when he didn't see anyone. Then a green cricket wearing a suit, hat, and holding a cane started jumping up and down on the desk. "Over here!" He shouted. "Cricket's the name. Jiminy Cricket, at your service." Jiminy took off his hat and bowed.
Laku walked up next to Donald. "I'll go with you to Traverse Town. I was about to head there anyway and might as well help as best I can."
"Thank you, Laku," Minnie said. "We hope for your safe return. Please help the king."
Both Donald and Laku placed their hands over their hearts as they looked as... Goofy saluted them farewell. "You're coming too!" Donald shouted as he grabbed Goofy's arm and dragged him out of the room.

They made there way down the spiral staircase to hanger bay.
"Gawrsh, Jiminy, your world disappeared, too?" Goofy asked as Jiminy sat on his helmet.
Jiminy nodded sadly. "It was terrible. We were scattered. And as far as I can see, I'm the only one who made it to this castle."
"I'm so sorry, Jiminy." Laku said.
"It's quite alright, misses Tano. Thank you for your kindness."
"Goofy." Donald said to change the subject.
Goofy nodded. "I gotcha. While we're in other worlds, we can't let on where we're from. We've gotta protect the world border."
"Order." Donald corrected his friend.
"Right. World order."
"What about those who know?" Jiminy asked.
"That's different if they can travel to other worlds thanks to advanced technology," Donald explained. "Or if they know by accident or other means." Everybody knew Donald was talking about the Dark Empire and their conquering of other worlds.
Goofy scratched his cheek. "I guess we'll need new duds when we get there."
Laku raised a nonexistent eyebrow. "What about the fact that you two are talking animals?"
Donald simply waved off. "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it."
They made it to the hanger and saw their gummi ship being prepped and loaded by two chipmunks, two mice, and a fly. They were Chip, Dale, Gadget, Monty Jack, and Zipper. Currently, the chipmunks and lady mouse were double checking their scans too make sure the ship would fly without a problem. The big mouse, on the other hand, was napping in his chair, snoring loudly with crumbs of five different cheeses on his big belly while the fly was trying to wake him up.
Donald walked to one of the communication pipes and shouted, "Hello up there? Donald Duck to launch crew! Anytime you're ready!"
Up in the control room, Monty jumped in his seat at the loud voice and fell flat on his stomach. "Amazing Daisy puts up with this quacker." He groaned. Chip and Gadget saluted as Dale ran to a lever and pulled it down.
Gears started turning and steam billowed as giant white gloves attached to machines came down and grabbed the passengers. Goofy and Donald were lifted up by their bums, much to the latter's chagrin. Laku, on the other hand, was lifted up gently by standing on top of the flat palm of the glove. All three were deposited into the cockpit. Pluto ran and jumped in before the glass casing closed. Donald gave the Daisy a thumbs up and a wink.
The Gummi ships were created as a means to and end, so to speak. Gummi ships were created for deep space exploration for months, sometime years; They have the speed and firepower of starfighters with the durability of bombers. The downside was don't expect them to handle bigger ships. (5)
The mouse shaped hanger doors opened. The engines roared to life. Donald pointed straight ahead and shouted, "Blast off!"
Then a red arrow pointing down appeared and the Gummi ship fell through the giant hole below.
Donald and Goofy screamed and held onto each other. Only Laku seemed calm as she made sure to put on her seat belt and calmly waited for the Gummi ship to stop falling. She scratched a calm Pluto behind the ears.
After 'falling' into space, the Gummi ship righted itself up and flew through the cold vacuum straight towards Traverse Town.
Donald and Goofy held their dizzy heads.
"Who designed that death trap?" Donald groaned.
Laku shrugged. "I thought it was fun."

A young boy slowly opened his blue eyes when he felt a wet tongue on his face. He shook his head to clear out the cobwebs. When he saw what was licking him he jumped in surprise. What he saw was a giant purple bat-like creature with a scorpion tail and claws and it's tongue hanging out of it's mouth.
The boy blinked a few times before closing his eyes, muttering, "What a dream..."
Then the creature lightly bonked the boy on the head with it's claw.
"This isn't a dream!" The boy exclaimed, rubbing his head. He stood up and saw he was in a unfamiliar dark alley right next to a couple of boxes and a barrel. "Where am I?" He studied the buildings carefully. "Oh, boy." He said to himself when he saw the different style of workmanship that he was unfamiliar with. The islands did not have this kind of buildings and the air felt a little cold and stale. Not what he was use to living in a tropical climate all his life.
He turned to the creature. "Do you know where we are... uh, boy?"
The creature nodded and flew out of the alley.
"Hey..." The boy shouted. He ran out of the alley and saw that this town was definitely not home. "This is totally weird..." He muttered to himself. "I'm in another world!" Not wanting to stand around all day, the boy walked into a small shop and what he saw made his eyes almost bulge out of his sockets.
Standing right behind the counter, reading a magazine, was an alien! A grey-skinned alien with a large head and two large eyes. He was skinny, two long arms, only wearing a pair of brown shorts, and was only about four feet high.
Hearing his door open, he looked up. "Welcome to the Close Encounter, how may I- Aw hell! It's just a kid."
"I ain't a kid!" The boy exclaimed. "And the names Sora!"
"Mhm," The alien hummed. "Spunk, I like that. So what brings you hear, Zola?"
"Sora!"
"Whatever."
"Well... Are you an alien?"
"To you I am."
"Are you gonna... uh, probe me?"
The alien threw his magazine at Sora, who quickly ducked.
"Why does everyone always assume that!" The alien shouted, marching from his counter and storming up to Sora trying to make himself look big. "Am I harvesting farts?! How much could I learn from an ass?!"
Sora stepped back, his hands in air in mock defeat. "Okay, okay! You aren't one of those aliens, got it. So, who are you?"
The aliens faced simmered down and he walked back to his counter. "Names Paul, kid. And this is my store the Close Encounter. Where you will find exotic trinkets and knick knacks from Andromeda."
"Andromeda?"
"Yeah. I'm from the north spiral arm of the Andromeda Galaxy."
Sora blinked in surprise. "Another galaxy?! What are you doing here?"
"Oh just business. Exploring mostly, but also selling- wait a minute!" Paul grabbed Sora by his shirt and started searching him. "If your wearing a wire, so help me god, I'll snap your neck where you stand!"
"I'm not a cop I swear!" Sora shouted.
Paul gave him one more glare before returning behind his counter. "So what brings you here?"
"I was wondering where I am?"
"Traverse Town, kid."
"Traverse Town? I am in another world!"
Paul blinked. "Well yeah. Where did you think?"
"I'm from Destiny Islands."
"Never heard of it, but..." Paul scratched his chin in thought. "Why don't you go down to the Elite Guard station and they'll probably get you home."
"Maybe they saw my friends," Sora said. "One of them is a girl named Kairi with red hair and another is a older boy named Riku with silver hair."
Paul shrugged. "Maybe. I'll be sure to keep an eye out though just in case I see anyone matching those descriptions. And if you ever run into any trouble again, come to me. I'll look out for yeah. Maybe even give you a discount. Just don't ask to go in that room." Paul pointed to a black door with a sign that said 'No one under 21 allowed!' "There is some bad stuff in there not for kids, I could get in a lot of trouble."
"Uh, okaaay..."
"Seriously, in fact you could go to jail just seeing it so just move along."
Sora awkwardly walked out of the shop, trying to pretend he didn't hear what Paul said. Deciding to do follow the advice, Sora walked through a huge door with a sign that said 'Elite Guard' and saw a man running for his life. Them an fell down and then he disappeared and his heart floated in the air towards an inky blotch and then a soldier Heartless appeared before it teleported away.
Sora ran after the Heartless, only to abruptly stop when shadows appeared. "It's those same creatures from the island!" He summoned the giant key weapon he got when first fighting the Heartless on the islands. He was about to attack, only for the same scorpion-bat to appear out of no where and unleashed a hail of sharped stones against the Heartless, destroying them.
Sora desummoned the key and approached the creature. "You again? Why are you following me?"
The creature waved it's claws up and down and flew towards the big door. "Hey, wait up!"
Sora followed the creature back to the square, only to find him gone. "This is starting to get annoying." He groaned.
"They'll keep coming after you out of nowhere, you know that right?"
Sora summoned his weapon and turned around to see an older teenager with the same creature from before standing next him with a yellow mouse on his shoulder.
"As long as you wield the keyblade, the Heartless will keep coming after you." He said, petting the scorpion-bat on the head. "But why would it choose you? Someone who probably never been in a fight."
"What's that suppose to mean?!" Sora shouted. "The names Sora and I can fight!"
"I didn't mean anything like that, what I meant was not a kid who starts fights with some school yard bullies."
Sora narrowed his eyes. "And you are?"
The teen smirked. "Names Ash and these two are Pikachu," The mouse waved at Sora. "And Gliscor." Gliscor smiled.
"I know him. He saved me from those... Heartless?"
"Yep." Ash grabbed a small object the size of a marble and with a press of the button on it, it grew to the size of a small ball. "Gliscor return!" A red beam erupted from the ball and hit Gliscor before the pokemon disappeared into the small machine.
Sora jumped in surprise. "How did you...?"
"Never mind that," Ash flicked his hand and with a bright flash, the Storm appeared.
Sora's eyes widen. "You have a weapon like me?"
"Yep. And now, I want to see if you have what it takes to wield yours," Ash turned to Pikachu. "I got this." Pikachu leapt off his shoulder and ran to the sidelines.
Sora readied himself. "If you want to fight, then fine. But when this is over and I win you better tell me what is going on."
"If you win."
They both charged at each other and there blades met head on, sparks flying. Sora launched a overhead strike, but Ash easily deflected it before kicking Sora in the stomach, sending him flying to a lamp.
"Is that the best you got?" Ash mocked, waving his keyblade left and right.
Sora growled in anger before charging again. The square was filled with the loud clanging sounds of keyblade hitting keyblade. Pikachu struggled to keep himself from jumping in to help his trainer. The fight reached in to it's tenth minute and both keybladers felt fatigued.
Ash breathed heavily with his hands on his knees. "I g-guess you are a p-pretty good w-warrior."
"Now... you're... gonna... you're gonna..." Before Sora could finish, he fainted from exhaustion.
Ash blinked. "Someone needs more practice then I thought."
"What did you do?!"
Ash turned to see Dawn and Brock running towards him.
Dawn placed her hands on her hips and glared at Ash. "Master Eraqus wanted you to find the new keyblader, not try to kill him!"
Brock went to Sora and quickly checked him up. "The kid's alright, Dawn. Just tired." He grabbed a pokeball and summoned Chansey. "Chansey, I need you to carry the boy."
Chansey nodded and carefully lifted the boy in her tiny arms.
"He's young," Dawn said. "About as young as Naruto, but from the looks of things he's pretty innocent. What could this mean?"
Ash shrugged as Pikachu climbed back on his shoulder. "I have no idea."
Little did they know was that their adventure was about to get a whole lot bigger.
Me: Merry Christmas everybody. Gotta say. I ain't exactly proud of this chapter. I think I maybe rushed a bit, but I can always redo it if there's a problem so don't forget to review to me about that.
I won't be able to post another chapter till after the New Year and they might be even slower on account I'm trying to watch the entire Star Trek franchise before the new movie Beyond in 2016. After that is Stargate and maybe Babylon 5 and will also be playing a lot of video games. I also saw the new Star Wars movie and it is the best. One. Yet!
1 - Who's the moron who didn't fix that design flaw. I know this is a directed energy weapon and it's not real, but how is it fictionally possible for a gun like that to lose 500 rounds in 20 seconds.
2 - I'm sure by now you have realized that I'm using weapons from the Battlefront game. I give it a B-.
3 - I have big plans on the origin of humanity in the future.
4 - Why would the senate not have volunteered soldiers help the clones? Rodians, Twi'leks, Pantorans, and Zabraks were just as capable soldiers as Human clones. Many of the senators were proven to be greedy fools during the Clone Wars show like that Kaminoan hag.
5 - 400 meters is about the size I can think of for the largest of Heartless and Nobody ships.
