3. Chapter 3

About a month after Luke and the others left John's Home world, two Imperial Remnant shuttles were flying towards an Imperial Remnant ship that was brought into the Atmosphere for needed repairs, an Hammerhead Corvette. When the shuttles attached to the Corvette, several Stormtroopers walked out of them and carried tool boxes. They were met with an Imperial Remnant Officer, and he said, "The damaged section is this way." As the Imperial Remnant Officer lead the Stormtroopers down the hall, one of the Stormtroopers asked the Officer, "Since when did the Imperial Remnant have a Hammerhead Corvette?" the Imperial Remnant Officer looked at the one Storm trooper that asked and said, "This Hammerhead Corvette as once called the Star Fox, a name given to it by the New Republic, but it's true name is the Hester, named after the Sith Lord who control's this planet. I piloted the ship during an Imperial Remnant surprise attack of Kuat, and when the Red Devil Strike group was decimated, this ship personally destroyed the Hammerhead Corvette the Bertrand." The Stormtrooper that asked the question, clenched his fist and said, "Well, you must be proud." The Imperial Remnant Officer nodded his head and said, "Very, you see, the commander of the red Devil Strike group that ship was named after was actually from this planet."

"I know." Said the Stormtrooper. The Imperial Remnant Officer was confused and asked, "What do you mean you know." Suddenly, the rest of the Stormtroopers raised their Blasters at the Officer as two Stormtroopers took out the hallway cameras. The Imperial Remnant Officer raised his hands and said, "What is the meaning of this?" the first Stormtrooper took off his helmet to reveal John Bertrand. The Imperial Remnant Officer got a look of shock and fear on his face and said, "You, you're alive, HOW?!" John then said, "That's a secret. But this is revenge for destroying my ships, take us to the engine room." The Imperial Remnant Officer said, "Very well, since I am being held at gun point by two soldier squads of what I can assume are P.M.R. forces." John nodded his head and said, "Engine room, NOW, and don't trick us, I memorized the blueprints of a Hammerhead Corvette, but you're going to take us there."

"I don't have much of a choice, do I?" asked the Imperial Remnant Officer. John shook his head, and the Imperial Remnant Officer said, "Very well, this way please." The Imperial Remnant Officer then lead the P.M.R. infiltrators to the Engine room. John then pulled out his Comlink and said, "John to Ash, come in Ash." Just then, a voice came in through John's Comlink and the voice said, "This is Ash, go ahead John." John then went on to tell Ash that the boarding was a success and are proceeding with the plan. Ash then said, "Copy that John, we'll be ready to pick you up."

"Copy that Ash, John out." Replied John. After putting his Comlink away, John asked the Imperial Remnant Officer, "Why did you people want me dead, you took me from my home, my friends, my family, so explain to me the trap?" The Imperial Remnant Officer chuckled and said, "You really think we wanted you dead, we thought that if you were off the planet and away from the planet, the P.M.R. would surrender, but they kept fighting, even though they splintered, just like Commander Clemont said they would, they kept fighting. So, Commander Chili suggested an idea, to bring you back, brainwash you into destroying the P.M.R." John then said, "Well, that plan failed, now keep walking." After walking for a few more moments, the Imperial Remnant Officer stopped at a door. John then said, "That sign above the door reads Engine room, we're here, open the door." The Imperial Remnant Officer did as he as told and opened the door. John put his helmet back on and looked inside, identifying that it was indeed the engine room. John then told the Imperial Remnant Officer to go in, to which he did, and John followed him, with the rest of the infiltrators behind him. After approaching the console, John told two soldiers to watch the Imperial Remnant Officer whilst the rest did their task.

After a few minutes of re-wiring and placing explosives all over the console, John plotted a course from their position for the Hammerhead Corvette to ram an Imperial Remnant Venator. As the Hammerhead corvette began to move, the crew on the bridge were scrambling to stop it. John then said, "Let's go." As the P.M.R. forces began to walk away, the Imperial Remnant officer shouted, "WHAT ABOUT THE PRISONERS?!" John did an immediate U-turn and said, "What prisoners?" after being told that there were prisoners on board, John had his team run to the prison cells. After arriving at the Prison cells, John placed explosives on all the doors and blew them open. As the smoke cleared, several soldiers appeared from the cells. John then said, "Come with us if you don't want to die." The soldiers didn't want to die, so they all followed John and they all made it to the escape pods. After making sure that everyone was in the pods, John pressed buttons that launched all the escape pods, and he got in one just in time before the door closed and all the escape pods launched. John then taped into an on-board camera on the Hammerhead Corvette's bridge, he watched as the Imperial Remnant forces were scrambling to regain control. Unfortunately, there was no sound, but he saw the hammerhead corvette plow right in between the Venator's two bridges, John then pulled out a transmitter and detonated the explosives in the engine Room, destroying the Hammerhead Corvette and the Venator at the same time. John smiled and said, "That should help the New Republic fleet when it gets here, whenever that is." The People in John's pod agreed with him as the Pod descended towards their home world. After an hour of falling, John's escape pod landed in a field with several other pods landing nearby. Suddenly, Ash and several P.M.R. fighters came out of the bushes and tree line.

As John got out of his pod, Ash walked up to him and said, "Was the mission a success?" John nodded his head and said, "While the Imperial Remnant Officer was being detained, we downloaded all the information from the Hester, that's its real name." Ash then said, "I see. Well, let's get that information decrypted so we can use it." John nodded his head and went followed Ash back to the base.

Meanwhile, back on Coruscant, Luke was walking the halls of the Senate building when Leia and Han ran up to him and Leia said, "Luke, Mon Mothma has requested us to her Office." When Luke asked why, Han said, "She's getting a fleet together to attack the Imperial Remnant." Luke then said, "We've always have a fleet ready, what's so special about this one." Han replied, "That's what I said too, but wait until she says the fleet's destination." Han and Leia then grabbed Luke by his arms and dragged him to Mon Mothma's Office. When the three friends arrived, Mon Mothma was talking to Admiral Ackbar. Mon Mothma saw Luke and said, "Aww Master Skywalker, Greetings." Luke bowed his head and said, "May I ask what's the fleet's destination." Mon Mothma pulled out a Holo-map and she said, "We will commence a flanking maneuver, our armada will leave several ships in each system we conquer, with the rest of our forces moving on to the next system, they will provide orbital Bombardment for our ground forces as they land on the planet. Once all the systems along the path are secured, we will move into phase two, which is attacking the fleet that is orbiting John's home world." Luke was shocked to hear that Mon Mothma was finally moving to help John and his Home world and he said, "When do we leave?" Mon Mothma smiled and they all began to make combative moves to counter anything that the Imperial Remnant could throw at them.

Back with John and the P.M.R., they just got back to the base. As the rest of the P.M.R. forces were getting changed, John and Ash were approached by Dawn, Serena, and a New Republic Pilot. Dawn then said, "John, we have a problem." When John asked what the Problem was, the New Republic Pilot said, "The Imperial Remnant attacked Vermillion City by orbital Bombardment, then sent in Stormtroopers to take care of the survivors." Ash and John were shocked to hear that the Imperial Remnant used an orbital bombardment on Vermillion City. The New Republic pilot then said, "Before you ask General, they barely hit the Airport, that's when they sent their T.I.E. Bombers to take us out, my commanding officer told us to take off, but most of our fighters were destroyed as they took off, my fighter was the only fighter to safely get off the ground and escape the attack, I then set out to find you all when a T.I.E. Fighter shot my right engine out, crashed right outside a P.M.R. outpost. The soldiers there found me and sent me here, I told your wife and Mrs. Ketchum and they suggested that I told you personally." John then asked the New Republic pilot, "Were there any other people that survived the attack?" The New Republic pilot shook his head and said, "I'm the only one sir, I'm sorry." John was again shocked to hear that all the New Republic fighters, along with the entire City of Vermillion, were wiped out. John then said, "Excuse me, I think I need to retire to my quarters for a bit."

As John walked off, Breo and Lilzor walked up to Ash and the group. Breo then said, "What's wrong with the commander?" Ash looked at the Sullustian and said, "He was just told about Vermillion City being destroyed." Breo and Lilzor were shocked to hear the Vermillion City was destroyed. Ash then said, "I haven't seen him this bad since the time you almost died Dawn." Dawn nodded her head in agreement, but Breo and Lilzor were confused and Breo asked, "What do you mean commander Ketchum?" Ash then told Lilzor and Breo, "Back during the Great Pokémon War, a Neo-Team-Rocket Voltorb Bomb detonated near John and Dawn's Quarters, she almost died if John didn't get to her in time and got her to a Hospital Tent." Then Lilzor said, "Neo-Team Rocket, that's the organization that you fought in the great Pokémon war correct?" Ash and Dawn nodded their heads and Dawn said, "For months John was different, he changed our goal, to completely get rid of anything Neo-Team Rocket, even though I did pull through." Then Ash told Lilzor and Breo that when they all went to confront him, he wasn't originally going to talk to them. Ash then said, "When Serena tried to stop him, he slapped her, we had him detained until he cooled off."

"Commander Bertrand slapped a woman, that's new." Said Breo. Ash and Dawn nodded their heads. Dawn then told Breo and Lilzor, "When I found out that John was in a jail cell, I went to visit him, but wasn't allowed to see him, my own husband, but Brock said that he would go in with me. We went inside, and John was laying on the cot in the cell. We talked, and he calmed down and Brock let him out of the cell." Ash took over by saying, "When they got outside, Serena and I were waiting for them. John apologized to Serena about slapping her. Serena accepted his apology, after slapping him back." Dawn chuckled, and she said, "In her defense, John deserved it. Hell, he even said it himself." Ash nodded his head in agreement and said, "After John calmed down and collected himself back together, he changed our focus back to freeing our world from the clutches of Neo-Team Rocket."

Meanwhile, John was walking down a hallway when he leaned against a wall that gave way and he fell through the hole. As John got up to get the dust off him, he looked around in the room he was in, the only light that illuminated the room came from the hole. But what John saw shocked him, and what he saw were dead Pokémon, P.M.R. fighters, and Imperial Remnant Stormtroopers. John looked around the room and found a door, half gone, just out of the light. As he moved towards the door, John heard a voice say, "I guess you found it." John then turned around to see Brock, standing on the other side of the hallway that John came through. John then replied by saying, "Our old main base. Remind me what happened here?"

"The Imperial Remnant found out the base's location and attacked us, since we were under ground, they mostly sent in infantry. We didn't expect them to have the weapons they had, we lost a lot of people in the first hour, but we soon learned to adapt to using their blasters and they began to take casualties, but they over ran us, and we were forced to retreat through the emergency tunnels and collapsed the tunnels after we were all out, trapping some of the Stormtroopers in the collapse. When we talked to the united Regions President, we told him that we needed a new base, that was when he gave us the base we're using now." Replied Brock. When John asked Brock why this base was just a wall's away from the old Base, Brock said, "I figured that they wouldn't think of looking near a spot that they already thought that they cleared of rebels. John then asked Brock for a flashlight. When Brock asked John why he needed a flashlight, John replied, "I feel like there's something in here that I need to get." Brock then said, "Okay, hang on man." Brock then walked off to get a flashlight for John. when he returned and handed John the flashlight, Brock told John, "Be careful John, the structural integrity hasn't been so solid these past few months." John nodded his head and began to explore the old base.

As John explored the old base, he made sure that he watched where he stepped so that way the floor would not give out. John walked through floor after floor of dead Pokémon and P.M.R. fighters, with the occasional Dead Imperial Remnant Stormtrooper. It wasn't until he got to the fourth floor when he started to see a lot of Imperial Remnant Stormtrooper bodies. After walking for about half an hour on the fifth floor, John reached his old quarters. When he entered, he saw that the sands of time as not been kind to the room. The wallpaper as tearing on all the walls, dust laid all over the room in a film. As John walked in, he saw a picture of him and his friends and family. when he picked it up, he saw in the picture that there was a banner and the banner read, "5th year anniversary of the end of the GPW." John smiled because he remembered that day. Just then, he heard a noise, pulled out his blaster, and pointed it towards the door. John then said, "Who's there? Identify yourself." John then heard a voice that sounded like it had shock in it say, "Uncle John, is that you?" John then said, "I recognize that voice, Molly." Just then, someone appeared in the doorway, a girl about his own son's age, but John recognized her right away, and the girl recognized John. John then said as he put his blaster away, "Molly."

"Uncle John!" shouted Molly as she ran to John and gave him a hug. John held his adopted niece close and said, "Molly, I can't believe you're here." Molly nodded her head and said, "I can't believe that you're alive, I thought you were killed." John then went on to tell Molly everything that happened since he returned. John then asked Molly, "Why haven't you tried to contact your parents." Molly replied by saying, "I thought that I was the only one that survived or escaped the attack of the base by the Empire." John then said, "Didn't I just tell you that it's the Imperial Remnant?" Molly nodded her head and said, "I meant the Imperial Remnant, I tried to find a way out of here, but all the exits were blocked." John then said, "The emergency tunnels, your parents collapsed them to prevent the Imperial Remnant from following them. Now let's get you back to your Mom and Dad." As John walked towards, he heard Molly ask, "But what about Gary Junior?" John quickly turned back around and said, "Gary Junior's alive as well?!" Molly nodded her head, causing John to say, "Show me." Molly nodded her head and showed John to the room that she and Gary Junior have been using to survive in for almost a whole year. When John entered the room, it was the only room that was in decent shape. John then saw Gary Junior on a bed, his left arm in a make shift cast and a blaster shot mark on his side. John then asked, "What happened to him?" Molly told John, "When we were attack, a Stormtrooper came into my room and attacked us, Gary Junior stopped him, but the trooper broke his arm and shot him in the side. When Gary Junior went down, I grabbed a knife on the table and stabbed the Stormtrooper through the helmet, I then brought Gary Junior here to patch him up, the blaster shot only grazed his side, but it's beginning to become infected, I need proper antibiotics, so I can help him heal." John then walked over to Gary Junior and picked him up. John then turned to Molly and said, "Let's get him and you to your parents." Molly nodded her head and followed John out of the old base.

After going up the flights of almost crumbling stairs, John and Molly reached the floor that the collapsed wall led into from the new base. As Molly got off the top step, a piece of the ceiling broke off and hit the staircase, causing all the stairs to collapse. John and Molly looked at the bottom here the stairs were gathered, then at each other, and they began to make their way to the room where John entered from. As they walked towards the room, Ash and Brock entered the old base's hallway. When Molly saw her dad, she began to cry, and ran to him as she said, "DADDY!" When Ash saw Molly, he ran to meet her in the middle of the Hallway. Ash then hugged up his daughter and he said as tears ran down his cheeks, "Molly, I…I can't believe it, you're alive, I missed you so much." Molly began to cry in her father's shoulder as she said, "I missed you too Dad, Mom as well." John and Brock smiled, and John said, "We need to get Junior Gary to the infirmary." Ash and Brock looked at John and saw that he was holding Gary Junior and Ash said, "Well, let's go, Brock can you get Serena, Gary and Misty and bring them to the infirmary." Brock nodded his head and made room for John to get by with Gary Junior and take him to the infirmary.

After arriving in the infirmary, the P.M.R. doctors and Lilzor worked hard to make sure that Gary Junior wouldn't die. As Ash, John, and Molly waited to hear about Gary Junior, Molly heard her name and when she looked to see who called her, she saw her mother, Brock, Gary, and Misty. Molly then ran to Serena as she said, "MOM!" Serena and Molly then shared a long embrace, for not seeing each other for almost a year. Gary and Misty moved by the reunited Mother and Daughter, so they could get to John and ask him about their own child. Misty asked John, "Where's our son?" John told Misty and Gary, "Relax you two, the doctors and Lilzor are back there making sure he pulls through, you can thank Molly for keeping him alive since the Imperial Remnant attack on the base." Gary and Misty looked back at Serena and Molly, who just parted their hug, so Serena could look at her daughter. Misty then walked over to the reunited mother and Daughter, tapped Molly on the shoulder, and said once Molly was looking at her, "I want to thank you for keeping our son alive until John got there." Molly rubbed her left arm as she said, "To be honest, I wouldn't be alive if he didn't try to save me." Misty and Molly then shared a hug. Just then, a doctor came out. John walked over to the doctor and asked, "How's he doing doc?" The doctor took off his mask, smiled, and said, "He's going to make a full recovery, if it wasn't for Commander Ketchum's daughter, he would have been dead a month in." Gary and Misty breathed a sigh of relief and Gary asked, "May we see him?" The doctor replied, "He's sleeping right now, but I will show you two to his room." Gary and Misty followed the doctor to the room Gary Junior was in. John was happy to see that Ash and Serena had their daughter back, along with the fact that Gary and Misty had their son back as well.

Meanwhile in Lavender Town, Lord Hester was looking over the local Garrison when General Barnett approached him and said, "M…M…My lord, we had just received word that the Hammerhead Corvette Hester and the Venator Star Destroyer Ravager have been destroyed by the P.M.R. infiltrating the Hester and placed explosives all over the engine room and plotted a course through the Ravager's bridges." Andrew Hester looked at General Barnett and used the force to begin choking the general. Hester then said, "You think I did not know about that, I was talking to the captain of the Ravager when the corvette passed between the two bridges and blew up." General Barnett asked for forgiveness, to which Andrew Hester closed his fist, killing Barnett. Hester then let go of the body and said, "You Apology is accepted, now get this body out of here and get me his replacement." Two Stormtroopers obeyed and dragged the dead general away to be properly disposed of. Lord Hester then said to himself, "We still need to find their Base, they could have several different bases that we don't know about. I think it's time to search in areas that we've already searched."

Back with the P.M.R. Gary and Misty saw their son, sleeping like he was hit by sleep powder. Misty began to cry, after not seeing her son for almost an entire year. They were just about to leave when Gary and Misty heard their son say, "Mom, Dad, is that you?" Misty and Gary turned around to see their son's eyes were open and he was looking at them. Misty then ran to her son's side that wasn't wrapped up and said, "My baby, thank goodness you're awake." Gary walked up to stand behind his wife and he asked his son, "How are you feeling son?" Gary sat himself up and said, "I feel like I haven't eaten in days, may I have some food please?" Misty and Gary smiled, and Misty said, "Of course sweetie, we'll get you something to eat." Gary junior thanked his mom and said, "I thought for certain that I was going to die, but Molly kept me going, she even helped take care of the blast mark until Uncle John arrived, at least that's who voice I heard." Gary and Misty smiled, and Misty told Gary Junior, "Just rest now Son, we'll bring you dinner and introduce you to our new allies." Gary junior nodded his head and laid back down on the infirmary bed.

Meanwhile, John was looking at a map when Bonnie busted into the room he was in, walked up to him and said, "John, we have a problem." When John asked Bonnie what she meant, Bonnie said, "J.J. and I were on patrol and we ran across a person with a lightsaber. We thought he was a Jedi, but when he ignited his lightsaber, the blade was red." John looked at Bonnie with fear on his face. John then said, "A RED blade?" Bonnie nodded her head and said, "Why would a Jedi have a red lightsaber, I thought only Sith had a red bladed lightsaber." John then said, "Jedi don't and not just Sith, only force users that are corrupted by the Dark Side of the force after receiving Jedi training, they don't consider themselves Jedi anymore. They are called Dark Jedi. I killed a few of them myself, but what does the dark Jedi have to deal with the problem?" Bonnie then said, "I was getting to that, anyway, we engaged the Dark Jedi and he charged J.J. and I, we moved out of the way of the blade, but the dark Jedi swung and caught J.J.'s right arm. I managed to kill the Dark Jedi and helped J.J. up. When we got back here, the doctors and Lilzor took him to the back to operate on him." Without saying a word or letting Bonnie finish, John ran to the infirmary to check up on his son, leaving Bonnie standing there not being able to finish speaking.

When John arrived at the infirmary, Dawn, Ash, Serena, Misty, Gary, and Brock were already there. John walked up to Dawn as he called her name. Dawn saw John and walked up to him and hugged her husband. After they parted from the Hug, John said, "Bonnie just told me about our son, have the doctors told you anything yet?" Dawn shook her head and said, "Nothing yet, we saw the damage the dark Jedi did to him, his arm up to halfway between his elbow and wrist was gone." John was shocked to hear that his son lost most of his right arm. Just then, a doctor came out and asked for John and Dawn. Bonnie arrived as John and Dawn approached the doctor and John asked, "How is our son, Doctor?" The doctor took off his masked, looked at John and Dawn, then said, "Well Commander, your son is going to be fine, with the help of Lilzor, we were able to keep the arm from getting infected, we even gave him a robotic hand, covers up the scars left by the lightsaber, your son will need help adjusting to his new hand." John was relieved that his son was going to make it, he then asked the doctor if he and Dawn could see him, the doctor nodded his head and showed John and Dawn to their son. Dawn then asked, "Wait, what about Bonnie, Bonnie is his fiancé." The doctor then said, "I don't see why not." John then looked back, saw Bonnie, and said, "Are you coming or what Bonnie?" Bonnie smiled and ran to catch up with John and Dawn so the three of them could continue following the doctor to see John Junior.

Meanwhile, at the jail cells, Max and May were looking at Clemont, who sat in his Cell with the shackles still on him. May then said, "I can't that Bonnie asked John to keep you alive. If you ask me, you should have die like Chili." Clemont chuckled and said, "I won't die like Chili, you and your fellow rebels should have never rebelled." Max then said, "Why didn't you stay with us, you were one of us during the great Pokémon war." Clemont looked at the Kirtman Siblings and said, "I stopped being on your side when John refused to send help to the Kalos Rebels." May then said, "The Kalos Rebels had plenty of support, John needed to focus on free the Kanto Region, Bonnie never showed resentment." Clemont then said, "Bonnie is a stupid kid! She should have joined me in the Imperial Remnant!" May and Max were shocked to hear Clemont say that about his sister.

Back with John, Dawn, and Bonnie, the three of them were just let into the room that J.J. was in. They saw that J.J. as testing out his robotic hand. John then said, "Hello son." J.J. looked at his father, mother, and Fiancé and said, "Hello mom, Dad, Bonnie." Dawn and Bonnie walked over to John Junior as John stood by the door way. John then said, "How's the robotic hand son?" J.J. looked at his father and said, "Like it's been welded to my arm." John then said as he walked up to his son, "Well consider this a lesson, when dealing with Dark Jedi, let people who know how to handle them." J.J. looked at his father and said, "Okay." Dawn then said, "How's the new hand HAND-ling?" J.J., Bonnie, and John all looked at Dawn after she made that joke. Dawn then said, "Too soon?" John placed his left hand on his wife's shoulder and said, "Yes, very too soon?" Dawn sweat dropped and said, "Sorry son." J.J. smiled slightly and said, "It's alright Mom, I get the meaning, and my hand is HAND-ling fine." Dawn held back from snickering as Bonnie and John looked at J.J. for making the same Joke. John then said, "Do I need to have a leash on you two so that way you two make any more hand jokes."

"We're just trying to brighten up the situation Dad." Said J.J. John then looked at his son and said, "Just be thankful that you're alive." Dawn then said, "I think that you should stay in the base for a bit, just until you get your hand under control, okay sweetie?" J.J. nodded his head and said, "Okay Mom, Bonnie can help me with it, if she wants?" Bonnie nodded her head and said, "I would love to help you, that is, if your father lets me." Bonnie, Dawn, and J.J. all looked at John and he said, "Why wouldn't I let my future Daughter in Law help my Son, they're going to be married one day, so I ask again, why wouldn't I let Bonnie help J.J." J.J. and Bonnie smiled and J.J. said, "Thank you Dad." John nodded his head and said, "You're welcome son." Just then, the doctor entered the room and said, "And how is our patient today?" J.J. said that he was doing fine, and the doctor said, "That's good to hear, and Commander Bertrand, the Kirtman Commanders would like to speak to you and Commander Bonnie." John and Bonnie nodded their heads and John told Dawn, "I'll talk to you later honey." Dawn nodded her head and said, "I know John, go see what they want." John smiled, kissed his wife and said, "Let's go Bonnie." Bonnie nodded her head, kissed J.J. on the cheek and walked out with John to see what May and Max wanted.

Meanwhile with Clemont, a P.M.R. soldier and New Republic soldier were standing guard at his cell when Clemont said, "You know, I'm surprised that the P.M.R. would ally with aliens." The New Republic trooper turned around and said, "Be quiet, the New Republic is here to help the P.M.R. free their home world." Clemont then said, "Oh I know, I just don't understand why the P.M.R. are fighting one alien government and ally with another one." Then the P.M.R. soldier turned around and said, "The New Republic and P.M.R. have mutual goals, defeating the Imperial Remnant." Again, Clemont spoke and he said, "Are you sure about that, what if it's just a cover, maybe the New Republic want to occupy this world and won't take their forces off the planet." The New Republic soldier then said, "He's just trying to sow deceit between us, don't listen to him." The P.M.R. soldier then pointed his gun at the New Republic trooper, shot and killed him. The P.M.R. soldier then grabbed his keys and opened the cell. The P.M.R. soldier then said, "There are others here who are willing to fight with you, we hereby declare our defection." Clemont smiled and said, "Good, have the others meet us at the exit, we're going to bring an end to this rebellion." The P.M.R. soldier nodded his head and gave Clemont his blaster. The P.M.R. soldier then said, "I need to hide the body." Clemont nodded his head and walked off. After Clemont turned the corner, the P.M.R. soldier looked at the New Republic soldier and said, "You can get up now." The New Republic trooper got up and said, "you almost hit my head." The P.M.R. soldier said sorry, pulled out a radio, and said, "Commander Bertrand and Commander Ketchum, come in."

Back with John, he was standing between Ash and Bonnie when he heard his name come in through the radio. He took his radio out and said, "Go for Commander Bertrand, I have commander Ketchum next to me." The P.M.R. soldier at the cells then said, "He's taken the bait, Clemont's heading to the exit." John looked at Ash, smiled, and said into the radio, "Alright, get the volunteers together and go with him, make sure they say nothing about our plan in his presence." The P.M.R. soldier said Rodger and went to get the rest of the people a part of their plan. Bonnie was confused and asked, "What plan?"

"Our plan to free more Legendary Pokémon and Cilan." Said Ash. John then said, "We know that Pewter City's defenses were toughened after Brock and May took Clemont, we also know that Cilan was recently put in charge of Pewter City, and Cilan requested that Reshiram and Groudon be moved to Pewter City." Then Ash said, "We figured that if we let Clemont go with some infiltrators, they can plant explosives on the vehicles to put them out of commission, along with the guard towers. When the towers go down, then we attack with our armor and infantry." Bonnie was surprised that she wasn't told about the plan and she asked, "Well why wasn't I told about this plan?" John then said, "You were there when we discussed it, but you didn't pay attention." Bonnie sweat dropped and said, "Well, I guess I need to pay attention then." John nodded his head.

Back with Clemont and the P.M.R. 'traitors', they just exited the base in a truck, with the P.M.R. soldier that 'shot' the New Republic soldier driving the truck and Clemont was hidden in the back of the truck. The P.M.R. soldier then said, "We've cleared the base commander Clemont, just need to pass checkpoint Ampharos." Clemont then said, "Just make sure that they don't check under these seats." The P.M.R. soldier nodded his head and pulled to a stop at checkpoint Ampharos. The guard there approached the driver's side window and said, "Identification please." The P.M.R. soldier reached into his pocket and handed his ID to the guard with a note from John and Ash. The Guard read the note in his head and the note said, "The men in the vehicle have the traitor Clemont, but we allowed this because it is all part of our plan to free two legendary Pokémon and a hypnotized traitor in Pewter City, let them pass, John Bertrand and Ash Ketchum." The guard then looked back at the P.M.R. soldier and mouthed, "Infiltrators?" the P.M.R. soldier driving nodded his head. The guard then said, "Well, Your ID seems to be Legit, good luck on your Patrol." The P.M.R. soldier thanked the guard and continued driving. The guard then went into his guard post, radioed for John and Ash, and said, "The truck just passed my checkpoint, they're heading to Pewter City." John then radioed Back and said, "Thank you, stay there, we'll be back." The guard said Rodger and placed the radio down. A few minutes later, an armor Convoy of P.M.R. and New Republic forces began making its way to Pewter City.

Back with the P.M.R. infiltrators and Clemont, they just arrived at Pewter City and were almost shot if Clemont didn't tell the Stormtroopers that it was him. When the Stormtrooper commander radioed for Cilan and told him about Clemont, Cilan rushed over to the truck and saw Clemont. Cilan then said, "It's good to see you escaped the P.M.R. Clemont." Clemont and Cilan shook hands and he said, "I would still be there if it wasn't for these defectors." Cilan then looked that the group of P.M.R. soldiers, not recognizing that they were P.M.R. infiltrators. Cilan then said, "Well, we thank you for freeing Commander Clemont and joining us, at this rate, the P.M.R. will be overwhelmed by imperial Sympathizers." The P.M.R. soldier that drove the truck nodded his head and said, "We should have joined the Empire long ago." Cilan nodded his head and asked, "What's your name soldier?"

"Smith Sir, Corporal Smith." Cilan extended his hand and said, "Well Smith, welcome to the true Empire." Smith nodded his head, shook Cilan's hand and said, "Thank you sir." Later that day, Smith and the other P.M.R. infiltrators gathered together out of sight of any of the Stormtroopers and one infiltrator said, "Damn, how they stand this armor?" Smith shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows, but you all your objectives, go do them, I'll notify the commanders." All the infiltrators nodded their heads and went to complete their separate Objectives. Meanwhile, in the woods around Pewter City, the P.M.R. and New Republic forces laid in waiting. John was looking through binoculars when Ash walked up to him and said, "John, we just received word that the infiltrators are moving to take down their respective objectives." John, still looking through the binoculars, said, "Alright, spread the word, once those AT-STs and guard towers go down, we attack." Ash nodded his head and said, "Alright John." Ash then walked off to spread the word. Back in the city, two infiltrators were walking by a set of AT-STs and placed explosives that matched the color of the AT-STs on one leg and walked off, another infiltrator made copies of all the Imperial Remnant plans, including the plans for the Giga Star Destroyer, Smith was busy trying to find Groudon and Reshiram and overheard Clemont and Cilan talking. Cilan said, "Do you know where their base is?" Clemont replied, "Unfortunately not, I had to cover myself, so they could sneak me out of the facility." Cilan then said, "So, when we get the much-needed reinforcements, we'll have the defectors lead us to their base."

"When will the reinforcements be getting here?" Clemont asked Cilan, to which he said, "They'll arrive here in the morning." Clemont then said, "Why that long?" Cilan told Clemont that the reinforcements were coming from off world, the rest of the forces on the planet were assigned to stay put to deal with the rebel cells in the other regions." Smith then backed up slowly when he heard Reshiram's cry coming from the gym. When Smith entered the gym, Groudon and Reshiram were in chains, their mouths chained shut. Smith then backed out of the gym to radio John and Ash, but was stopped by a Stormtrooper and he said, "Looking at the Pokémon?" Smith had to keep his cover, so he said, "Those Pokémon have names, you know I'm a defector, right?" the Stormtrooper then said, "I know who you are, Corporal Smith, Member of the P.M.R. infiltrators." Smith then pulled out his blaster and asked the trooper, "How the Distortion World do you know that?" the Stormtrooper lifted his helmet and said, "I'm an infiltrator, just like you. My name is Peterson and I'm in deep cover, I've been in deep cover for over a year by order of Commander Bertrand." Smith than asked the supposed deep infiltrator a question that only P.M.R. infiltrators know, "Who were the first two deployed infiltrators, what was their mission and what happened during their mission?" the Stormtrooper then said, "The first two infiltrators were Dorothy Bertrand and Barry Barrett (A.N.: The Barry from chapter 02 was a different Barry, Dawn made a new friend named Barry.), their mission was to gather intelligence on the N.T.R. defenses at Cerulean City, and as Barry was getting the map copied when the N.T.R. commander in charge found him and killed him, but Dorothy knocked him out, got Barry's Body and the information they were after and got back to the old Base." Smith then said, "Okay, looks like you're legit, I'm going to contact the commanders, get ready to help us when the shooting starts." The Stormtrooper nodded his head and Smith went off to contact John and Ash.

Back with John, Ash and Dawn approached him and Ash said, "Smith found the location Reshiram and Groudon are being held in, Cilan put them in the Gym." John then asked Ash, "Was there anything else." Ash then told John about the Stormtrooper named Peterson and how he was in deep cover in the Imperial Remnant. John then said, "I remember Peterson, I sent him into deep cover a week before I was taken, anything else." Dawn then said, "Smith and the infiltrators are ready to blow the explosives, we just need to give them the signal." John then turned around, and the look he had on his face frightened Ash and Dawn. John then said, "Well then what are you waiting for, go give them the Signal, NOW!" Ash and Dawn nodded their heads and walked off. Ash then said, "That's a face I thought I would never see again." Dawn nodded her head and said, "I agree with you Ash, I was worried about that face, I think that his hatred for the Imperial Remnant is taking control of him." Ash then nodded his own head in agreement. The two friends then made their way to the communications truck.

A few minutes later, there was the sounds and sights of explosions and fireballs all over Pewter City. Suddenly, the guard towers and AT-STs fell to the ground. John then pulled out his blaster and shouted, "ATTACK!" John then led the charge of the P.M.R. and New Republic forces and they attacked Pewter City, P.M.R. armored vehicles opened fire as soon as they exited the tree line. Stormtroopers were being taken out left and right as they tried to scramble to their defensive positions. When they were close enough to fire, the Infantry opened fire and took out more Stormtroopers. Cilan and Clemont were confused about what was happening. Suddenly, the people that arrived with Clemont and the one deep cover Stormtrooper approached them and pointed their blasters at the two of them. Clemont then said, "What is the meaning of this?" Smith then said, "Keep quiet traitor, you're not going anywhere." Clemont was confused and said, "But I thought that you men were defecting to the TRUE empire."

"Never, let's just say that you were tricked." Replied Smith. After Clemont and Cilan were captured, the remaining Imperial Remnant forces surrendered. John and Ash then walked over to the infiltrators who had Clemont and Cilan in handcuffs. John then slapped Cilan and that snapped him out of his confusion. Cilan saw John and said, "John, you're alive." John then nodded his head and said, "Yes, and you're no longer hypnotized by the Imperial Remnant, welcome back to the P.M.R. Cilan." Cilan shook John's hand after his handcuffs were taken off. John then said, "Cover his head and take him back to the base, I'm going to free Reshiram and Groudon." Ash nodded his head and took a bag and covered Clemont's head. John then made his way to the gym with Dawn and Cilan to the Gym to see Groudon and Reshiram.

Meanwhile in a system not far away, a New Republic fleet was engaged with the defending Imperial Remnant fleet and station. Luke and Han were both in the heat of it, along with Admiral Ackbar. Admiral Ackbar then said, "All fighters, concentrate your fire on the Star Destroyer farthest from the station, corvettes and frigates, concentrate your fire on the Station's Hanger." As Luke and Han, along with the attacking fighters targeted the Star Destroyer they were assigned to, the CR90 Corvettes, Nebulan B2 Frigates, and Marauder missile Frigates targeted the Hanger of the Station to prevent any reinforcements from assisting the defense fleet. After the hanger couldn't send out any more fighters, Admiral Ackbar ordered the boarding ships to land on several locations on the Station. As the boarding ships moved towards the Station, several T.I.E. Fighters moved to take them out, but were shot down by Luke and Han. The boarding ships landed in the Station's Hanger and New Republic soldiers flooded out of the boarding ships in full space suits because the hanger's shields were destroyed. As the battle turned in favor of the New Republic, the Imperial Remnant station began to open fire at the Imperial Remnant ships closest to it, the boarding forces were successful in taking over the station. As the Imperial Remnant fleet was fleeing, the New Republic bombers targeted several Engines on Star Destroyers with proton torpedoes, disabling them and allowing New Republic forces to board them and strengthening the fleet.

Back with John, Ash, and Cilan, they got to the gym and saw the two legendary Pokémon, Groudon and Reshiram. John then said, "Let's get the chains off of them." Ash and Cilan nodded their heads in agreement. John started at the top of Groudon and Groudon as the chains were removed. After the last of the chains were taken off, Groudon and Reshiram fell to the ground. John and Brock then ran to Groudon and Reshiram's heads and John said into a radio, "Get the nurse Joys in here now, we have Pokémon that need medical attention." A voice on the other end of the radio said Rodger. John then said to Groudon and Reshiram, "Don't worry Groudon, Reshiram, we got you guys." Groudon then said, "Thank you general Bertrand, we heard you were alive and well, finding that out gave us back the hope we lost." After Groudon finished speaking, Reshiram said, "Yes, I was about to let them kill me, but seeing you here and being free, I know there's hope for us being free yet." John nodded his head in agreement and Cilan said, "I know how you both feel, I was captured by the Imperial Remnant, but they hypnotized me to betray the P.M.R. thankfully John freed me and I'm ready to free the rest of the Pokémon world from the Imperial Remnant." John nodded his head, then he turned to face Cilan and said, "Do you know about your brothers?" Cilan, still facing Reshiram, nodded his head and said, "Yes, I know that Cress and Chili were true Traitors and Chili was killed in an explosion from a crashed Venator that the P.M.R. caused to explode. I also know that Landorous, Tornadous, and Thundurus were rescued by the P.M.R." John nodded his head and said, "Yes, all that happened, I know because I was there, I saw Chili standing next to an AT-ST that I planted explosives on and I pinned him under the AT-ST's head piece and he was struck by a piece of the Venator, that killed him, I didn't shoot him." Cilan clenched his fists and said, "It's alright John, I heard your message to the traitors that you would kill them when you saw them. I know that they won't change their minds again, so if you kill Cress, go right ahead." John smiled and nodded his head after he and Cilan shook hands. Just then, all the P.M.R. Nurse Joys and Lilzor came into the Gym to treat the Groudon and Reshiram. John then said, "Get them patched up and get them ready to move, we need to go ASAP." When Ash asked why, John said, "The Imperial Remnant is going to send some troops from close garrisons to find out why the garrison here hasn't respond to their calls. That's standard procedure for the Imperial Remnant." Ash then said, "Then maybe we should move them to the base and they can be treated there." That was when Lilzor said, "Unfortunately they can't be moved yet, they're too injured, we need time to stabilize both of them before they can be transported." When John asked Lilzor how long until they could be moved, Lilzor told John, "We need at least an hour." Ash then asked John how long until the reinforcements were to arrive, and John said, "A few minutes, a half hour at most." Ash then suggested that they get the defenses ready to use, but John said, "No, we transport them now." Lilzor then said, "Like I said sir, we need to get them stabilize before we can move them." John then punched Lilzor to the ground, causing Ash to knock John out himself.

As John was taken back to the Base, Ash took control of the forces in the town. Ash told the New Republic Forces that John wasn't himself the past few days and he needed to cool off a bit. Lilzor then said, "It's true, the commander knocked me to the ground, but I'll recover, right now we need to buy the medics time, so the two Pokémon can be properly moved, all of you listen to Commander Ketchum and we will make it through this battle." The New Republic troops nodded their heads and got into the positions that the Stormtroopers were attempting to get to. A little while later, 3 troop shuttles came into view of Pewter City and began to touch down when the shuttle closest to the defenses was fired upon, taking out the two pilots and causing the shuttle to spin out of control and crashed into another shuttle, the final shuttle successfully touched down, but the cockpit was fired upon as well, taking out the two pilots and the Stormtrooper commander. The remaining Stormtroopers got the platform down and rushed out to fire at the P.M.R. and New Republic forces, several Stormtroopers fell within the first few minutes of touching down.

Back with John, he just woke up with J.J., Dawn, and Bonnie surrounding him. John then asked Dawn what happened, and Dawn said, "You punched Lilzor and Ash had to knock you out and we brought you back here." John then sat up quickly and said, "He's still there, we need to get there." But as John moved to get out of bed, Dawn and J.J. stopped him and had him lay back down. Dawn then said, "You're not going anywhere until you tell us what is wrong." John looked at his wife and Son, sighed, and said, "I guess the loss of Vermillion City and everyone in it cost me some of my own Morale, we needed those fighters to provide air support against the enemy Fighters." Dawn then said, "I know, we all felt a little bit of morale slip away inside us, but you can't let that one incident dictate how you command the rest of the war." John looked at his wife, smiled, and said, "Thank you Dawn, I guess I needed that." Dawn smiled and kissed her husband.

Back in Pewter City, the battle was raging on, As Ash took down a few more Stormtroopers, Lilzor approached him and said, "Groudon and Reshiram are all ready to go, ready to leave when you are commander Ketchum." Ash nodded his head and said into his Radio, "All P.M.R. and New Republic forces, start pulling your way back to the base, we'll have the fire type Pokémon lay down a Smokescreen to cover our retreat." All the P.M.R. and New Republic troopers and vehicles obeyed and slowly moved back as the fire type Pokémon that knew smokescreen used the move to cover their falling back. As far as the Stormtroopers were aware, the rebel forces were still firing from the defensive positions. After the last of the shots were fired, the Stormtroopers stuck to behind their cover and called for Walker support. When the walkers arrived, the Stormtroopers looked at the defense positions and saw no one there at the defense lines. The Stormtrooper commander then realized what happened and contacted Lord Hester.

Back at the Rebel Base, Ash had Groudon and Reshiram get caught in Masterballs for easier transportation. As Ash got the casualty count, John walked up to him with Dawn on one side and his son on the other side. John then said, "I take it that the mission was a success and we have Groudon and Reshiram here with us." Ash nodded his head and said, "We had to put them in Masterballs to get them inside the base." John nodded his head and said, "Okay, and you owe me for knocking me out." Ash chuckled and said, "Alright, I know, and I won't punch you back, I would deserve it." John smiled, asked Dawn to release his arm, and he punched Ash to the ground. As Ash got up, he said, "Okay, are you feeling better now?" John nodded his head and said, "Yes, much better, I guess that my hatred of the Imperial Remnant was taking control of me and was about to cause me to make a decision that could have cost us two legendary Pokémon." Ash nodded his head and Dawn said, "We said the same thing right before we commenced the attack on Pewter City." That made everyone laugh. Suddenly, a New Republic trooper ran up to John and the others and said, "Commanders, I just came from Outpost Ampharos and it's under attack by Imperial Remnant forces, the commander thinks that they are heading this way and sent me to warn you." John immediately pulled out his radio and said, "Outpost Ampharos, come in. I repeat Outpost Ampharos, come in. What's the situation there?"

At outpost Ampharos, the commander took out two Stormtroopers before he ducked, pulled out his radio, and said, "This is Commander Garfield of Outpost Ampharos, the Imperial Remnant is attacking. We are fighting back but if we fall, they will make their way to the base." John then said, "Send all non-essential personal to the base, we'll send you reinforcements." Garfield then said, "I'll send the non-essential personal, but don't send us reinforcements, we signed up to free our world. If we die, make sure that our deaths will not be in vain, free our home commander, Garfield out." John was silent at what Garfield said. Ash then said, "We'll need to prepare to evacuate the wounded and get the defenses ready." John then said, "Tell me you guys created a contingency plan in case the Imperial Remnant found this base?" Ash and Dawn thought long and hard, until J.J. said, "What about the old N.T.R. base at Mount Moon." John looked at his son and said, "That's pretty far away, and in the direction of the Imperial Remnant."

"Not really." Said Ash. When John asked Ash what he meant, Ash said, "In case the base was ever found, we decided to create a tunnel from this base to the N.T.R. Base, we were almost finished it when you back." John then asked Ash, "When were you going to tell me about the tunnel?" Dawn told her husband that they wanted to surprise him when it was finished. John then said, "Well, now's a good time to use the tunnel. Ash get Brock to help you gather up the wounded Pokémon and move them through the tunnel. J.J. you grab Bonnie and some volunteers to collect all our data and destroy what can't be moved. Dawn, I need you to get Misty and Gary, grab Gary Junior and Molly and move them through the Tunnel. Lilzor, get the nurse Joys to help move the wounded, I'll gather volunteers and hold off the Imperial Remnant for as long as we can, I'll reunite with you as soon as I can." Dawn kissed John on the lips, J.J. hugged his father, and Ash said, "Don't get captured again." John said that he wouldn't and told them to get going.

As Everyone made their way through the tunnel, John grabbed all the men that wanted to stay and fight at the base's front entrance with barricades made along the hallways and in the main sections of the base. Suddenly, troops from outpost Ampharos busted into the room. As one reclosed the door and locked it, the rest of them got the defense positions and one soldier told John, "The commander told us to retreat, checkpoint Ampharos is gone and they're heading this way." Just then, the entrance exploded, and it killed the one trooper that reclosed it. A few moments later, fires entered the base and took out a few soldiers. John then told everyone to get down. As the shots zipped by, John told the defense line he was at to wait for his command before they opened fire, and the rest of the defense lines to place explosives on the barriers they were at. As the rebel troopers and New Republic soldiers placed the explosives, the shots stopped firing. John then said, "Everyone stay down and continue what I told you to do." As the soldiers in the base continued, Stormtroopers began to enter the base. When John heard they were close enough, he shouted, "NOW!"

Suddenly, all the soldiers in the first defense line John was at stood up and opened fire at the Stormtroopers. John then said, "Keep up the fire, make sure that they don't get any more troopers in here." The Rebel and New Republic forces obeyed John and kept up the fire, keeping the Imperial Remnant at bay as the others got to safety. As they fought back, Ash and the others were getting all non-essential Personal, wounded, and data they could get into the tunnel and make their way towards the old N.T.R. Base at Mount Moon. Ash had Clemont escorted with armed guards and a New Republic heavy Weapons trooper walking all the way to mount moon and the escort would switch every hour. Misty and Gary grabbed Gary Junior and Molly and got a few of the wounded in their vehicle. Back at the entrance, John and his men were putting up a hell of a fight, but they ere running low on ammo and several soldiers were shot. John then saw that the defense line behind him give him the signal that the explosives ere in place. John then said, "Everyone, keep firing as we fall back to the second defense line." The remaining troops nodded their heads and walked towards the second defense line. They then got behind the second defense line barricade. John then said, "Give me the detonator." One New Republic trooper handed John the Detonator for the barricade and John said, "Alright, open fire." The second barricade then opened fire at the Stormtroopers. Just then, John received a radio transmission from Ash saying that they were all in the Tunnel, John then had every barricade send him the detonators for the Explosives on each Barricade and they followed their orders and they passed up the Detonators to John. John then said, "Second squad, open fire, rest of you head to the Tunnel."

"What are you going to do sir?" Asked a P.M.R. Soldier and John said, "Second Squad and I are going to hold off the Imperial Remnant while you fall back." Another P.M.R. soldier said, "You can't sir, you will surely be captured again." John then said, "I gave you an order, now FOLLOW IT!" The P.M.R. soldiers reluctantly followed John's orders and they all fell back except for Second Squad, they stayed with John and opened fire as they covered the others. Back with Ash and the others, they were making sure that everyone was accounted for when the soldiers from the last defense Line arrived. Ash then asked, "Where's John?" One of the New Republic troopers said, "He's stayed behind to cover us falling back with a squad of soldiers." Ash then said, "What the hell is he thinking? I'm going to get him." As Ash as about to leave, he got picked up and brought back, Ash looked behind him and saw that it was one of the Jedi that was freed from the Prison Camp. The Jedi then said, "I will go, remain here and blow the charges when John appears." Without another word said, the Jedi ran to help John and the Squad of soldiers with him.

Back with John and the soldiers with him, they were forced back past the final Barricade. As the Imperial Remnant troopers made their way past the Barricades, John kept his eye on the front one as he made his way past the last barricade, John then took out a detonator that he wired all the explosives to and triggered them all, causing all the Barricades to explode and send shrapnel into all the Stormtroopers. John then said, "Fall back men, I'll cover you." One New Republic trooper said, "No way sir, we're staying with you." Just then, the Jedi that ran from Ash and his friends arrived and he said, "I'll take over for you men, I'll make sure that he gets back safely." The squad of soldiers were hesitant at first but retreated. John readied his blaster and said, "Are you ready Master Jedi?" The Jedi nodded his head and said, "May the force guide us to victory." John nodded his head and the two of them charged the Stormtroopers and John opened fire as the Jedi deflected blaster bolts from the Stormtroopers back at them and cutting Stormtroopers that got close to him. Suddenly, a blaster bolt hit the Jedi in his left side and John saw this. John then grabbed the wounded Jedi and dragged him into a room that he blasted the door controls and blocked the door with tables and chairs. John then leaned the Jedi up against a wall and said, "Let's get that shot taken care of Master Jedi."

"Jimtalo Radmore." Said the Jedi. When John said what, the Jedi said, "My name is Jedi Master Jimtalo Radmore." John then said, "Well Master Radmore, looks like this is where we meet our end." Master Radmore then asked John to sit next to him and he handed John a vile and told him to drink it. When John asked what the drink was, Master Radmore said, "I was saving this for a special occasion, but I want you to drink it." John then took the vile and drank all its contents. John then said, "Not bad, I wish Ash could have tasted this." Suddenly, John began to slowly fade in and out. John then looked at Radmore as he was getting up and asked, "What was in the Vile?" Master Radmore got up as well and told John, "The Vile contained the Force in liquid Form, don't ask me how. But that's what it was. Whoever drank that would be teleported to the first person they think of and for even a stranger reason, would be able to use the force." Master Radmore then handed John his lightsaber when he was solid, and he said, "Take care young Jedi." John then said, "Master Radmore NO!" John then faded completely away. The door then blasted open and Master Radmore fought against the Stormtroopers that came in but got shot in the back and he fell to his knees and then he was executed.

Back with Ash and the others again, John appeared next to Ash and Ash said, "Blow the Charges!" Brock nodded his head and detonated the Explosives at the Entrance of the tunnel to about 4 miles into the tunnel, sealing the tunnel and keeping the Imperial Remnant from following them. John then looked in the direction the Explosions were coming from and said, "Master Radmore." Ash then walked over to his friend and said, "John, are you okay?" John didn't even look at him as he said, "Y…Yeah, I'm fine, let's get going to the new base." Ash nodded his head and they all made their way to the other end of the Tunnel. Back in the base, Andrew Hester walked in and saw how many Casualties the Imperial Remnant had compared to the number of Casualties the P.M.R. and New Republic Alliance had, and the numbers were staggering. Andrew was then showed the Body of Jedi Master Jimtalo Radmore, executed when troopers finally busted into the room he and John were in. Lord Hester then said, "Excellent, one less Jedi to deal with, now FIND OUT WHERE THE WHOLE REBEL ARMY WENT?!" One Imperial Remnant engineer said, "Sir we found a hallway with dirt in side it, we believe that the Rebels made a tunnel and blew the entrance behind them to keep us from following them." Hester was silent for a few minutes before he said, "Let us return to our Base." The Imperial Remnant troopers followed his Orders and they all left the now destroyed Rebel Base.

Back with the P.M.R. and New Republic forces, they just reached the end of the tunnel. John then said, "How much further to the old N.T.R. base?" Ash pulled out a map and said, "Just a couple more feet, but there's a problem, there's a 10 inch think wall between us and the hanger Bay we were going to dig into, it would take a while for the fire-type Pokémon to cut through the wall." John then said, "That's here a lightsaber come in, lets continue digging." The Ground and Rock type Pokémon worked hard to get to the wall. John then took out Master Radmore's lightsaber and said, "Master Raxz, Master Krust, either of you two want to help." Masters Raxz and Krust nodded their heads and used the force to lift John so he could cut a hole big enough to allow the P.M.R. vehicles to pass through. As everyone got settled into the new Base, John called for a council meeting to discuss how the Imperial Remnant found their Base. Misty was the first to speak and she said, "You don't think we have a spy here, do you?"

"No, I think that they detected the Millennium Falcon coming out of Hyperspace and just let Luke and the Other slip by to find us." Said John. Ash then said, "So they lead the Imperial Remnant to us." Then John said, "It's not as if they did it on Purpose." They then heard a voice say, "I have to side with the new Jedi about this, I think the Imperial Remnant let the Millennium Falcon slip past the Blockade." Everyone turned to see Master Krust standing next to Master Raxz and John said, "Master Krust, Master Raxz, thank you both for coming. Please, take a seat." They obliged and sat in to empty seats. Ash then asked Master Krust, "Why did you call John a new Jedi?" Master Krust replied, "Because before Master Radmore gave his life to get John back to us, we didn't sense that he had the ability to use the force, but now we do." John then said, "Master Radmore gave a vile of something he called the force in liquid form."

"He had some with him, how did the Imperial Remnant take it from him?" asked Master Raxz. Ash then said, "He told me that he buried it in the woods near the Prison camp we freed him and the others from. John then said, "But I never choose to become a Jedi, I didn't know what it would do to me until he told me." Master Krust then said, "Well, as Jedi, we must teach you the ways of the Jedi." John then said, "Like I said, I never asked to become a Jedi." Master Krust then said, "I know but if you want to wield his Lightsaber properly, you must be trained to do so." Before John could even say anything, a P.M.R. soldier busted into the room and said, "Commanders, Master Jedi, we finally managed to get in contact with the rebel cells in the other regions. Their leaders are waiting for you in a secured video chat." John then said, "To be continued." John then walked to the communications room to speak with the other rebel Cells.

When he arrived, he saw the leaders of the other Rebel Cells. Maxie and Archie, co leaders of the rebel Cell in Hoenn, Cyrus in Sinnoh, Ghetsis in Unova, Lysandre in Kalos, Lusamine and Guzma in the Alola Region. When they all saw John, the first to speak was Archie and he said, "General Bertrand, welcome back from the dead." John replied, "Thank you Archie, it's been a while, I heard that you all formed your own rebel cells against the Imperial Remnant. Before any of you speak, the Imperial Remnant is the people we're all fighting, and they think of themselves as the true Empire." Guzma then said, "I was just about to ask that, but now I'm going to ask you where you have been for the past 11 months?" John then said, "The Imperial Remnant kidnapped me and hypnotized me to forget everyone here and sent me to a planet called Tatooine, where I joined the enemy of the Imperial Remnant called the New Republic. I rose through the ranks until I as given command of a New Republic fleet. I led that fleet through hell and high water, until I came home, and my strike group was ambushed and destroyed. I then regained all my memories and I helped the P.M.R. with several Victories. I now ask you, leaders of Rebel cells in the other core regions to rejoin the P.M.R. and together we can coordinate our attacks against the Imperial Remnant." The rebel leaders looked at each other until Archie and Maxie nodded their heads and said, "Team Magmaqua will rejoin the P.M.R." John smiled and thanked the two of them, then Cyrus said, "As will the Grand Pokémon Republic." The rest of the Rebel Cells agreed to rejoin the P.M.R. and John said, "Thank you all, finally, the P.M.R. is whole again." John then said, "Alright, I need you to target Imperial Remnant Outposts and work your way up to the towns and Cities, we'll get reinforcements to you as soon as we can." The former Rebel Cell leaders nodded their heads and the videos cut.

Back with the New Republic fleet, they gathered enough forces to mount a huge attack to free John's home world. Luke suggested that they send a small vanguard team to let John know about the upcoming attack and to call the fleet in when they are ready. Admiral Ackbar said, "I agree with you Master Skywalker, who do you want to take with you?" Luke smiled and said, "Han, Leia, Lando, Chewbacca, a few pathfinders, and Inferno Squad." Admiral Ackbar then said, "Inferno squad, are you sure about those two, Shriv I understand, but those two defectors I don't trust them." Luke then said, "I made my decision, I ill prepare for them in the Hanger." Luke them walked out of the Bridge of Home One to head to the Hanger. A few minutes later, Luke as approached by Han, Leia, Lando Calrissian, Chewbacca, R2-D2, about 10 pathfinders, and Inferno Squad; Iden Versio, Del Meeko, and Shriv Suurgav. Han then asked Luke, Alright kid, what are you planning that has all of us here?" Luke stood up and said, "The fleet is moving to liberate John's home world, we're moving to let John know of the attack." Luke then knelt and said to R2-D2, "Sorry buddy, not this time."

"But why bring us along, we've only just joined the New Republic." Asked Iden. Luke looked at her and said, "I figured it was time to introduce you to John, now let's get going." Luke then lead the group onto the Imperial Remnant shuttle and took it to John's home world. Back with John, he was earing a helmet the blocked his vision and had several floating Balls surrounding him with Ash, Brock, Masters Krust and Raxz on one side. Master Krust then said, "deflect the stun shots from the droids." John then said, "How am I supposed to do that with this thing on my head blocking my vision." Master Raxz then said, "You must use the force to deflect them. Concentrate, clear your mind." John then closed his eyes and was patient and when the first shot was fired, John deflected it perfectly back at the training ball droid, the rest of the training ball droids began to fire at John and he deflected them all, slowly all the training ball droids fell to the ground. John then walked towards the group when a hidden training ball droid fired a shot at John's back, but John deflected it back at the droid. Master Krust then said, "Excellent, usually, beginners get hit a few times, but you didn't get hit a single time." John then took off the helmet and said, "Well, dodging Blaster shots and my experience in special operations helped me out a lot." Ash then said, "I wish I can do that." John chuckled and said, "I know my friend, I know. Now what else do I have to do?" Master Krust then said, "You must master one of the eight lightsaber dueling techniques."

John watched all the lightsaber dueling techniques and said, "I want to learn them all." Master Krust and Raxz looked at each other, then at John and Master Krust said, "No Jedi has mastered all eight techniques before, it's impossible." John then said, "I always thought traveling through space was impossible, look where we are now." Master Krust then said, "True, very well, let's begin the lessons." As John learned every lightsaber dueling technique, Luke and his small squad exited Hyperspace and were contacted by a star destroyer asking for clearance codes. A pathfinder sent the clearance codes and the star destroyer captain said, "Shuttle 5692, you are cleared to pass." Luke breathed a sigh of relief as they past the blockade and got a good look at the Giga Star Destroyer and Luke said, "Taking that ship down won't be easy." The Pathfinder nodded his head and said, "Better get buckled in General Skywalker, we'll be landing soon." Luke nodded his head and buckled up as the shuttle descended to the planet. Back with John and the P.M.R., he learned all eight lightsaber dueling techniques quickly and had a duel with Master Krust. As the duel went on, John decided to be unpredictable and create his own lightsaber dueling technique combining aspects from all eight of the old lightsaber dueling techniques. John swung his lightsaber up making Master Krust think he was going to sing down and she moved to deflect, but John used the force to push Master Krust off her feet. As she got up, John held the tip of his Lightsaber to her chin. Master Krust laughed and said, "Well done John. I never expected you to pull a fast one on me" John then had his lightsaber retract and he helped Master Krust onto her feet and he said, "Well I have to thank you and Master Raxz for teaching me." Suddenly, a New Republic trooper approached them and said, "Commander, an Imperial Remnant shuttle is landing outside the old Base."

A few minutes later, John and Ash with a P.M.R. Sniper and New Republic Heavy Weapons Expert arrived at the front of the old Base and saw two New Republic Pathfinders. John then stepped out and caused the two Pathfinders to see him and one said, "Commander Bertrand, one moment sir." The Pathfinder went inside the base as Ash and the two soldiers walked out of their hiding spot. About 10 minutes later, the New Republic Pathfinder came back out with Luke, Han, Leia, Chewbacca, Lando, Inferno squad and the rest of the Pathfinders. John smiled and said, "It's good to see you all again." Luke then said, "Agreed, but I sense something is different with you John," John then said, "Oh you mean like this." John then used the force to lift the shuttle, causing Luke, Han, Leia, Lando Calrissian, Chewbacca, the 10 pathfinders, and Inferno Squad to become surprised. Iden Versio then said, "I read your New Republic file, it said that you're not able to use the force, how is this possible?" John then said, "Jedi Master Jimtalo Radmore gave me vile of Liquid Force, which made me teleport to Ash and my friends, and I was able to use the force. Master Raxz and Master Krust taught me how to duel with my Lightsaber, given to me by Master Radmore himself, and I was told that I was a natural with wielding a Lightsaber." Luke smiled and said, "Well then my friend, welcome to the New Jedi Order." John nodded his head and was about to speak when a T.I.E. Fighter flew over them. John then said, "We're going to have company soon, come with us." John, Ash and the two troopers led the Luke and his group to a secret tunnel they used to get to Back to the old Base.

A few minutes later, Luke and his group were inside the new Main P.M.R. Base in Kanto. John then said, "We were attacked at our old Base. We were forced to fall back to here, I held the Imperial Remnant off to allow everyone to get into the tunnel that was built during my Absence, with the help of some soldiers and Master Radmore, unfortunately Master Radmore was killed when then base fell. I then reunited the Rebel Cells under the P.M.R. Flag." Luke then said, "Impressive." John then said, "Yeah, but why are you here?" Luke then told John about the planned attack. Then John said, "Holy Bantha turd, we'll need to tell the others." Luke nodded his head and John called for a council meeting.

"So, we're finally getting help." Said Brock. John nodded his head and said, "Yes, but for a New Republic victory, we need to do our part and help them, Ash, what do we have?" Ash laid out a map and said, "The Imperial Remnant built a huge Gun next to Cerulean City, they're using Celadon City's Airfield to have a place to land their T.I.E. Fighters and T.I.E. Bombers to refuel them and reload them. We have an inside source telling us that Lord Hester is going to be in his flagship, the Giga-Star Destroyer, because he knows a battle is coming soon." John then said, "If we send a team onto the Giga-star destroyer, we can take out it's power core and Lord Hester too, we can hit two Pidgeys' with one stone." John then said, "However, we'll need a droid to get a copy of the schematics, and all the droids with the Red Devil strike group were destroyed." Luke and Leia looked at each other and they smile. John saw them smile and asked, "What are you guys hiding?" Luke looked at John, then behind him and said, "Come here H7." Just then, John heard some beeps and boops and saw a red Astromech roll from behind Luke and Leia. Luke then said, "Remember this guy." John got a good look at the Astromech and said, "H7!" John then ran over to the Astromech as it made its way to him and the met in the idle. John got on his knees and hugged the droid. John then said, "How did you managed to get him fixed, I thought that all the droids in my Strike group ere taken out." Luke then said, "We picked him up on radar as we were escaping the Imperial Remnant Blockade the first time we came here." John smiled and said, "Thank you Luke, this means a lot to me." John then looked at H7 and said, "You ready buddy." H7 made beeps and boops that meant that he was ready to go, and John smiled and said, "Alright, let's take down a Giga-Star Destroyer." Everyone cheered or nodded their heads in agreement.

"The plan is simple, a small team including Luke and myself will take an Imperial Remnant shuttle up to the Giga-Star Destroyer, have H7 patch into the Ship's Mainframe and obtain the Plans so we can find the Engine room. After which we'll shut down the weapons systems from there and make sure that they don't get them reactivated, then we shut down the shields. Then Luke will contact Admiral Ackbar and have him jump the fleet in to attack the Imperial Remnant fleet, then we locate Lord Hester, we find him, Luke and I will take him down once and for all, the rest of you will secure our escape route." Said John. everyone was on board with the Plan and got ready for the battle ahead. John then choose his team. He chose Ash, Leia, Han, Brock, Gary, Lando, Iden Versio, and Shriv Suurgav. John then said, "The rest of you will remain here and take part in the ground assault, Chewbacca, I want you and Paul to lead a group of P.M.R. and New Republic commandos to take control of the Hypervelocity Cannon near Cerulean City, Misty will show you the way. Del, take a demolitions team to Celadon City and destroy the Fuel and ammo Depots at the Airfield, with those fighters grounded and out of Ammo, our fleet will suffer less casualties. Once that's done, radio in, same goes for you Chewie. Once that's done, we'll have Luke and H7 send a signal to the New Republic fleet and have them jump in. Luke can I speak to Admiral Ackbar now?" Luke nodded his head and had H7 patch into the communications system and he sent a transmission to Admiral Ackbar. When Admiral Ackbar answered, he saw John and said, "Commander Bertrand, thank the force you're alive." John then said, "It's good to be alive and to see you Admiral Ackbar. We were just coming up with a plan about how to deal with the Imperial Remnant fleet orbiting my home world, would you like to hear it." Admiral Ackbar nodded his head and John explained the plan to him, Admiral Ackbar then said, "It sounds like a risky plan." John then said, "It's a risk I'm willing to take." Admiral Ackbar then said, "Very well, we'll await your signal." John nodded his head and the transmission ended. John then said, "Let's get started." Everyone nodded their heads and prepared to do their part.

In John and Dawn's new Room, John was packing his bag to get ready to infiltrate the Giga-Star Destroyer when Dawn walked in and said, "What about Bonnie and J.J.?" John kept packing as he said, "J.J. and Bonnie are going to help you out with taking care of the Base. When New Republic ground forces get here, then we can free the rest of the planet." Dawn then said, "Okay…" John sensed that Dawn had something else on her mind and he knew what it was. John then turned around, walked over to Dawn, kissed her and said, "I'm going to be coming back this time." Dawn then said, "I know you will, but if you don't come back, I'm going to kill you." John chuckled and gave Dawn one last hug before Ash came up to them and said, "It's time John." John nodded his head and said, "Let's head to the communications room." Ash and Dawn nodded their heads and the three of them made their way to the communications room.

Around the world, every P.M.R. cell in every region were receiving a transmission from John himself and broadcasted it to the rest of the Region they were in. John said, "Members of the Pokémon Resistance, the day has finally come to take back our world, I'm commencing a plan that will hopefully allow reinforcements to come and help us. When I say Arceus, that is your signal to attack the closest Imperial Remnant outpost, depot, whatever you can attack that is the Imperial Remnant, fight strong, stand together, and more importantly, kill every Imperial Remnant soldier, Imperial Remnant Pilot, Imperial Remnant Official you see, General Bertrand out." John then looked at Ash, Dawn, Brock, and Gary and he said, "The battle has begun."

A few minutes after John made his quick speech, a squad of Imperial Remnant Stormtroopers and an Imperial Remnant Astromech were getting ready to board an Imperial Remnant Shuttle when John and his team attacked them and took them out with non-lethal takedowns and H7 shocked the IMP Remnant Astromech, tied them all up, and put their Armor on them. As Han and Lando flew the shuttle, John said to H7, "Sorry buddy, but we needed to repaint you because Imperial Remnant droids are black, not red." H7 made beeps and boops that meant, 'Alright sir, I just want to be red again when this is all over." John then chuckled and said, "Don't worry H7, you will be repainted when this is all over." H7 made happy beeps and boops. John smiled, stood up, and walked into the cockpit and said, "How's it going?" Han replied, "So far, so good, they haven't shot at us yet." John then said, "Okay, when they ask for the codes, you guys know what to do." Han and Lando nodded their heads and John made his walked into the back of the shuttle.

Back on the ground, Chewbacca, Paul, and about half a dozen New Republic Pathfinders and a half dozen P.M.R. commandos were closing in on the Hypervelocity Gun. When they had eyes on their Target, Paul saw someone he knew was a traitor, Tracy. Paul then radioed back into the Base and said, "Dawn, I have eyes on Tracy, want me to capture him or just kill him here?" Dawn knew that John would want to see Tracy and told Paul, "Stun him, John would want to talk to him." Paul clenched his fist but said, "Understood Dawn, we're going to take the Hypervelocity Gun now."

"Copy that Paul, remember, Tracy must be taken alive." Replied Dawn. Paul nodded his head and put the Radio he was using away and told Chewbacca, "Let's take that gun." Chewie nodded his head and they all charged the gun, firing at the Stormtroopers as they advanced, taking a few of them out before they could react. Tracy saw the attackers and said, "What are you waiting for you stupid troopers, get to the defenses, we can't let them take the gun." The remaining Stormtroopers manned the last defense lines defenses and opened fire at Chewbacca, Paul, the New Republic pathfinders an P.M.R. commandos, but they got behind a barricade. Paul then said, "Chewbacca, throw a thermal Detonator!" Chewie nodded his head, grabbed a thermal detonator from his harness, primed it, and threw it at the Stormtroopers. The Thermal Detonator then exploded, taking out a few Stormtroopers. Chewbacca then shot Tracy in the Arm, causing Paul to say, "No killing him, we need him alive." Chewbacca then made roars that a New Republic pathfinder translated into, "Chewbacca wasn't going to kill him, just wound him." Paul nodded his head and told Chewbacca, "That Machine gunner have us pinned down, throw another detonator over there." Chewie nodded his head and threw another thermal detonator into the machine gunner nest, taking it out and the gunner. Paul then loaded his pistol and said, "ADVANCE!" Chewbacca, the N.R.P.F., and the P.M.R. Commandos followed Paul's Command and charged the Hypervelocity Gun, taking out the remaining Stormtroopers and Paul fired a Stun shot at Tracy and had two N.R.P.F. bind Tracy and take him back to the Base. Paul then moved into the Gun's Base and took out the Operators to finally secure the Gun. Paul then radioed into Dawn and he said, "We have the gun, I repeat, the Hypervelocity gun is under our control." Dawn replied, "Good job Paul, when we hear from John, I'll tell him, in the meantime, I'm sending you reinforcements." Paul said, "Copy that, and we can use this gun to help the fleet that's going to jump in." Dawn then said Copy and told Misty to send reinforcements to Paul and Chewbacca. Back with John and his strike team, they just landed in the Giga-Star destroyer. As they walked down the ramp, John said, "Try not to draw much attention, we can't let them know we aren't who they think we are, H7, find an Access Port and Patch in." H7 made some beeps and boops and rolled over to the closest Access port and when no one was looking, patched in and began to search for the Giga-Star Destroyer's schematics. After a few minutes of searching, H7 found the schematics and rolled over to John and the strike group and made beeps and boops that John knew what he was saying. John then said, "H7 has the plans, let's get going to the power Core room." Everyone nodded their heads and they headed to the Power Core room. As they walked, they walked by several different hallways and one Hallway John sensed Lord Hester, Luke did as well. John then told the rest of the infiltrators, "Get to the power core room, Luke and I need to check something." Ash nodded his head and said, "Be careful John." John nodded his head and he and Luke then ran down the hallway and Ash led the others to the Power Core room.

As John and Luke ran down the hallway, they sensed that they were getting closer to whoever or whatever they were sensing. They then reached a door and Luke readied his Lightsaber as John readied a blaster. John asked Luke, "You ready my friend?" Luke ignited his green lightsaber, nodded his head and he forced the door opened to reveal Cress, another true traitor. John then said, "Cress, I should have known, I know that you're a true traitor and that you hypnotized me and several of my friends." Cress smiled and said, "Well then, it seems like that we should have never brought you back here, but now I can kill you." Cress then pulled out a lightsaber and ignited it. Cress then said, "Like my new toy, Lord Hester gave it to me to deal with any Jedi I come across, since you brought me one, I guess I can kill you both." John looked at Luke who nodded his head. John smiled, looked back at Cress and put his Blaster back in its holster. John then pulled out his Lightsaber and ignited its Blue Blade. Cress was surprised and said, "You…You're a Jedi." John nodded his head and said, "Became one recently thanks to the Imperial Remnant attacking the base and killing Master Radmore." Cress smiled an evil smile and said, "This will be Fun." John then saw a door behind Cress and said to Luke, "There's a door behind Cress, I'll distract him while you make a break for the Door." Luke nodded his head and John, "You want to kill a Jedi, face me in a duel, one on one." Cress smiled an evil smile again and said, "Very well, I accept your challenge, face your doom." John closed his Lightsaber and walked to the middle of the room where Cress was already, and John said, "You ready?" Cress smiled an evil smile again and ignited his Crimson red Lightsaber and said, "I'm going to enjoy killing you." John then said, "You may have the first swing." Cress laughed and said, "Big mistake." As Cress swung at John, John used the force to push Cress back into a wall. John then ignited his blue Lightsaber and said as Luke made a break for the door, "You made the mistake for challenging a New force sensitive." Cress then charged at John with his lightsaber ready to make contact, but John jumped backwards. Cress then charged again, but this time, John blocked Cress's attack with his own Lightsaber. Their Lightsabers contacted each other several times before John said, "Alright, play time's over." John then dodged Cress's next attack and swung to cut Cress's arm that had the Lightsaber in its hand clean off. As Cress fell to his knees, John grabbed Cress's Lightsaber and said, "Told you that you made a mistake challenging me." Cress then said, "I thought I could take you, Apparently not." John then walked over to him and said, "Now you're going to tell me where Tierno and Miette are."

"I won't tell you a thing." Replied Cress. John then lifted Cress to his feet and kept him still using the force as he used his lightsaber to inflict Pain onto Cress. John then heard a voice say, "John, Stop." John looked to his right and saw the ghost of Master Radmore. John then said, "Why should I Master Radmore, he's a traitor, and all traitors deserve to die." Master Radmore's Ghost then said, "Jedi do not seek revenge." John looked at Master Radmore's ghost and said, "Seriously." Master Radmore's ghost nodded his head. John then looked back at Cress and, reluctantly, released him. John then said, "Very well." John then used the force to knock Cress out. John then ran to catch up to Luke. When he saw Luke, he and Hester were locked in a lightsaber duel. John pulled out his lightsaber to join Luke. But Hester saw the attack and ignited the other end of his lightsaber and blocked John's attack. Meanwhile, Ash and the rest of the infiltrators, they just arrived at the Power Core room. Ash got a good look at the defenses in the Power core room, a few Stormtrooper guards and about 3 Imperial Remnant Engineers working the controls. Ash then said, "Alright people, let's take them out quickly and quietly." Everyone nodded their heads and started over to the control panel. Back with John and Luke, they were just thrown into a wall. As they got up, Hester said, "Droid, play my epic Battle music." A protocol Droid then pushed a button and final Battle music started playing. John then said, "We need to get rid of his weapon, you ready Luke." Luke nodded his head and the to of them charged Hester. The three of them then began dueling again, lightsabers colliding, sparks going everywhere, John and Luke were always blocked By Hester's defensive stance. Hester then said to John, "You are very skilled for only being a Jedi for only a day." John then said, as they continued battling, "I'll take that as a compliment, especially coming from a fallen Jedi." Hester looked at John and he said, "well, well, well, it seems that you've done your research." John replied, "Indeed, I know that you were a Jedi, but after Order 66 happened, you joined Palpatine in his 'Great' Galactic Empire, you hunted Jedi for years. During the beginning of the Galactic Civil War, you killed dozens of Rebels, especially after the Destruction of the First Death Star." Hester then pushed Luke and John back and charged them again. When their blades collided, John said, "You were on Hoth when the Empire attacked the Planet, then you hunted Master Skywalker for years, but could never find him. Then at the Battle of Endor, you were on a Star destroyer engaging the Rebel Fleet and watched the second Death Star explode. You then told your Star Destroyer to retreat from Endor. Then as the war ended, you joined the Imperial Remnant. Then you came to my home world, kidnapped me, brainwashed me to forget my past, and left me on Tatooine. That was your first mistake, your second mistake was having me come back here. I regained my memories, I remembered my friends, my Family, and I am going to use my memories of them to defeat you once and for ALL!" John then force-pushed Hester back into a wall. Hester then shot force-lighting at Luke and John, who caught the lighting with their Lightsabers. John then turned the force-lighting that his lightsaber was catching back at Hester, causing a few bolts to hit Hester. John then moved in front of Luke to get all of the force-lighting. John then told Luke, "Head to the rest of the team, tell them to get ready to abandon this ship." Luke then asked, "What about you John?"

"I'm going to end this battle here, now grab Cress in the other room and get going!" said John. Luke nodded his head and ran of the room, grabbed Cress, and made his way to Ash and the others. John then took Cress's lightsaber and ignited it as well. Hester then said, "Let us continue." John replied, "indeed." John and Hester then charged each other hand their lightsabers made contact. Meanwhile, Ash and the others successfully mingled around the Imperial remnant Stormtroopers and engineers and Ash said, "NOW!" the others then pulled out their Blasters and shot every Stormtrooper and Imperial Remnant engineer in the area. Ash then said, "H7, patch in, access the weapons system and shields." H7 moved to the Droid Access Port and patched in. Just then, Luke with an Unconscious Cress came in and said, "I see that you all handled the people in here well." Ash nodded his head and asked Luke, "Where is John?"

"John is battling Lord Hester as we speak, he wanted me to get here as quickly as I could." Replied Luke. Ash was furious and said, "And you left him alone?!" As Ash was about to leave, Han stopped him and said, "If John can handle him I say let him fight this Battle, we need to focus on our mission." Back with John and Hester, John was just thrown into a wall by Hester. As he stood up, both John and Hester were breathing very heavily. John then said, "It seems that we're both skilled fighters." Hester nodded his head and said, "I never had to put so much effort into a lightsaber duel, for being a Jedi for a day, you are very skilled. I could use you at my side as my apprentice." John then wiped blood from his lower lip from a punch Hester landed and said, "I appreciate the offer, but I like being a Jedi." John then force-pushed Hester into a wall and ran to strike a blow at Hester. Hester ignited his lightsaber again to block John's attack. John then saw an opening to hurt Hester. John then moved to the side, and sliced Hester's stomach with the tip of his lightsaber. Hester wrenched in Pain as the cut was made. John then used the force to pick up Hester's lightsaber and sliced it in half with his lightsaber. John then placed the blade of his lightsaber to Hester's chin and said, "Surrender, you are beaten." Hester replied while raising his hand, "Never." John then heard the ceiling above the two of them about to fall and jumped backwards. The debris then landed on Hester, crushing his legs and arms as a sharp piece of the ceiling struck Hester in the head, killing him. Meanwhile in a system far away from John's home world, a pod opened in a room and someone fell to the floor. A Droid then walked over to the person with Sith robes and said, "Good morning Hester clone 15." As the person stood up, his face was that of Hester. The Hester clone then said, "Seems like my previous self has been killed, let's hope I do a better job than he did."

Back with John, he was staring at the debris that crushed Hester. Just then, he received a signal on his communicator. When he answered it, it was Luke and he said, "John, are you okay, I sensed someone die." John pressed the button on his communicator and he said, "I'm alright, Hester is dead." Luke then said, "Did you…" John knew what Luke was asking and he said, "No, he killed himself, caused part of the Ceiling to collapse and kill him." Luke then said, "Understood, we're almost ready to call the fleet in, do you want to meet us at the shuttle." John then said, "Negative, when you get to the shuttle, take off, I'll find another way to get to you." Ash's voice then came over the communicator and he said, "Negative, we're not going to leave you on this ship." John then said as he stood up, "Ash, I'm ordering you to take off when you get to the shuttle. Luke, when H7 shuts down the shields and weapons system, call the fleet in." Luke then said, "Of course." John then began to walk out of the room and said into his communicator, "Ash, I'll make my back to you guys, I'm not going anywhere, you just need to get off this ship." John then ended the transmission and walked into the hallway he and Luke split off from the group. John then turned right. As John made his way through the ship, H7 finished taking down the shields and weapons systems. H7 then made beeps and boops causing Han to say, "H7 got their weapons system and Shields down, call the fleet in." Luke nodded his head and sent the signal. Back with John, he came into the room May, Serena, Max, Iris, and Cilan described and he took out the two guards. One guard had a Pokéball on him and John sensed that it had Hypno in it. John then picked up the Pokéball and then used the force to destroy the room. John then sensed prisoners nearby. John searched the area until he found them, three Twi'leks, bound and chained. John then used the force to break the chains and one Twi'lek said, "Thank you, thank you." John nodded his head and he said, "Follow me, I'm searching for escape pods to launch myself from this ship and to my home planet." The three Twi'leks followed John as he walked own the hallway. Suddenly, alarms stared to sound. Then a voice came over the intercom and it said, "All Hands, a New Republic fleet has exited hyperspace, all soldiers to their stations, ready the Guns. On the bridge, the Admiral ordered the escort fleet into a defensive formation. Suddenly, someone said, "Admiral, we can't raise the shields and the weapons systems are down." The Admiral then said, "Find out what is going on and fix it, we're completely defenseless, in the meantime launch all T.I.E. Fighters." As T.I.E. Fighters were launched, Ash and the rest of the group got onto the shuttle they used to get on board and took off from the ship. Meanwhile, John found the escape pods and hurried the three Twi'leks inside one. Then after he got in, he activated all the escape pods and they all launched, his pod included. John then steered his pod towards the surface. John then activated his communicator and he said, "Luke, I'm off the ship and in an escape pod with three rescued Twi'leks, I'll see you on the ground my friend."

"Understood, we'll look for your pod." Replied Luke as the shuttle flew to the surface. John then took a transmitter out of his pocket and said into it, "All P.M.R. forces, Arceus, I say again, Arceus. Meanwhile on Home one, Admiral Ackbar ordered all the fighters to launch. Just then, a Mon Calamarian approached him and said, "Admiral, the enemy flagship's shields are down as well as their weapon systems." Admiral Ackbar then said to the fighters, "All fighter craft, target the flagship before they get their shields back on line." The X-Wings and A-Wings acknowledged the Order and charged the Flagship and enemy T.I.E. Fighters coming at them. Admiral Ackbar then said, "All bombers, target several Star Destroyers with your Ion torpedoes and then take out the bridges with your Proton Bombs." The Y-wings and B-Wings followed the Order and ion torpedoed several Star Destroyers and fired their Proton Bombs at the Bridges, sending a chain reaction through the ships, destroying them. As the X-Wings and A-Wings made their way to the Giga-Star Destroyer. John then found out that Chewbacca and Paul took over the hypervelocity gun and John had them, "Target every Imperial remnant ship, take out the Anti-fighter ships first." Chewbacca roared with excitement and was ready to fire the gun at the first anti-fighter ship. As the battle in space went on, the first shot from the Hypervelocity gun struck the Hammerhead Corvette the Goliath, one of the undercover Imperial Remnant ships that as assigned to the Red Devil Strike group. The admiral then said, "Why is our Hypervelocity cannon targeting our own fleet?" a lieutenant said, "Admiral, a probe Droid saw local Rebel and New Republic forces take the gun and they just got reinforcements." Just then, another ensign said, "INCOMING!" The Admiral turned around and saw an X-Wing spinning out of control crashing into the bridge before the Admiral could even run. The Giga Star Destroyer then fall into deep space because it was just outside the Planet's Atmosphere, it didn't get pulled towards the planet. Admiral Ackbar then said, "All Craft, press the attack." Every New Republic ship and every fighter engaged the remaining Imperial Remnant ships in the system. Losses were mounting on both sides, the Imperial Remnant lost all the ships that they sent as New Republic ships, a majority of their fighter support several MK 2 Star Destroyers, Victory Star Destroyers, and the Interdictor that was stationed there. The New Republic lost a few CR90 Corvettes, a Marauder Cruiser class Frigate, and a Nebulan B2 Frigate. With the battle all but over, the remaining Imperial Remnant ships began retreating into Hyperspace into the systems taken over by the New Republic. Admiral Ackbar then said, "All ships, Target their engines." The New Republic fleet targeted the engines on several ships, disabling them from retreating. Only a few ships managed to escape, Admiral Ackbar then called for troop transports to send forces down to the surface of John's home planet and to board the disabled Star destroyers and other Imperial Remnant ships to give to John and his home planet to defend the planet from Imperial Remnant counter attacks. On the surface, Dawn and Luke found the escape pod John used and saw that he and the Twi'leks were all okay. Dawn hugged her husband and kissed him. Dawn then said, "You did something that was stupid, dangerous, and you shouldn't have come back." John chuckled and said, "I like those odds." Dawn was mad at John for saying that but was just happy that he was safe. Luke then said, "John, I just got word form Admiral Ackbar, he and the New Republic fleet defeated the Imperial Remnant fleet and are sending reinforcements to help you and your people out." John smiled and said, "Thank you Master Skywalker, that's a relief." Luke nodded his head in agreement.

As the day went on, New Republic reinforcements arrived and landed on the surface. The P.M.R. soldiers were all over the New Republic vehicles and starfighters. John smiled and said to Luke who was standing next to him, "I'm glad we finally got reinforcements." Luke replied, "Yes, and I'm glad that another planet has been freed from the Imperial Remnant." Just then, Dawn and Ash walked up to the two Jedi and Ash said, "We're receiving a message from I think is Coruscant." John looked at Luke and said, "Probably Mon Mothma." Luke nodded his head and the two of them followed Ash and Dawn to the communication area. Hen they got there, a New Republic Comms Officer saw them and said, "Urgent message from Coruscant for you and Admiral Ackbar, he already answered, we're ready to patch you into the conversation." John then said, "Patch it through." The New Republic Comms Officer nodded his head and patched John and Luke into the Conversation. When they entered, they heard Admiral Ackbar say, "…Captured several Star Destroyers and other ships to leave here for his home planet." Mon Mothma nodded her head and she sa John and Luke and she said, "Ah, Commander Bertrand, I'm glad to see you're alive." John replied, "Really, since you re the one who sent me and my ships here."

"Let me explain why though." Said Mon Mothma. Bur John didn't want to hear it and he said, "NO! You sent my strike group into an ambush that got a Majority of my fleet killed. However, I must thank you, if it weren't for you sending my fleet to our doom, I would have never have discovered my hidden past. So, thank you." Mon Mothma then said, "Please John, can you hear me out." When John asked why, Luke said, "She has a good reason, just hear her out." John looked at Luke, then at Mon Mothma and said, "Very well, hat was the reason." Mon Mothma hung her head and said, "Hester had spies kidnap my daughter and told me if I didn't do what he told me to do, he would have my daughter killed, but he killed her over 6 months ago. When I found out the truth I tried to contact you to bring you back, but you were already gone. I thought your whole fleet was destroyed, but survivors came back and told us hat happened." John then said, "So you sent me and my ships to our doom, just to rescue your daughter, but only to find out that your daughter was already dead." Mon Mothma nodded her head and asked John, "Would you do anything to get your son back." John looked at the ground and said, "Yes, I would do anything to rescue him."

"Then you must see this through a Parent's eyes, I would do anything to have gotten my daughter back." Said Mon Mothma. John then said, "I have seen it through a parent's eyes, but I also see it though eyes of a captain, you could have told me about your daughter before you sent me on that suicide Mission, but I forgive you." Mon Mothma breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you commander Bertrand." John then said as he shows Mon Mothma and Admiral Ackbar, "Actually, I'm a Jedi." Mon Mothma was surprised to see John holding a lightsaber and to hear the John was a Jedi and she said, "Well then, congratulations on becoming a Jedi." John nodded his head and asked Admiral Ackbar, "Admiral Ackbar, what did you mean by 'Captured several Star Destroyers and other ships to leave here for his home planet'?" Admiral Ackbar replied, "During the Battles and the Battles in the surrounding Systems, we captured several Imperial Remnant ships to leave here for you, we'll also leave a New Republic Garrison for you and they'll help you construct Factories and a Space station to construct Spaceships." John then said, "Thank you Admiral Ackbar, we greatly appreciate that." Mon Mothma then said, "Once your home planet is freed, we can talk about who your planet's senators will be for the New Republic."

"I'm Sorry Mon Mothma, but I'm pretty sure that the people would want to remain independent." Said John. Mon Mothma then said, "I must insist, since the New Republic is liberating your world, you have to join the New Republic." John crossed his arms and said, "Correction, the New Republic is helping my people liberate our home, we fought against the Imperial Remnant long before we even heard of the New Republic, and if necessary, we will fight you as well." Mon Mothma then said, "Is that a threat, because if it is, I'm going to order the New Republic troopers there to arrest you and your friends." John then said with his arms crossed, "It's not a threat, it's a promise." Admiral Ackbar then said, "Now everyone, lets calm down about this. John, I understand your position, but until the war with the Imperial Remnant is over, maybe you should join the New Republic for protection, you can still have your independent government, but you will be a protectorate of the New Republic." John looked at Admiral Ackbar, thought about what Ackbar said and replied, "Very well, as long as Chancellor Mon Mothma agrees." Admiral Ackbar looked at Mon Mothma and said, "Well, Chancellor Mothma, what do say?" Mon Mothma replied, "I will accept those conditions." Mon Mothma then looked at John and said, "I do apologize for sounding hostile to you." John replied, "It's fine Chancellor Mon Mothma, I apologize as well."

"Now that hostilities are no longer a problem, let's fix a government that unites your entire home world." Said Admiral Ackbar. John then said, "Well, we had a united government before and it was a democratic government, so a democracy should suffice." Then Luke spoke, and he said, "Alright, but who would lead it." John thought long and hard until they all heard a voice say, "The people would probably vote for you if you ran for president." John and Luke looked behind them and saw Ash, Serena, Dawn, J.J., and Bonnie standing a few feet behind. Luke then said, "Unfortunately, Jedi can't have a position of power in any form of Government." John looked at Luke and said, "Seriously, the new Jedi Order you created is a Hierarchy that Jedi have to work hard in to get to the rank above them. It goes Initiate, Padawan, Knight, Master, then Grand Master, which is only bestowed upon a few Jedi, like you." Everyone looked at John with a look of surprise because he knew all that. John then said, "I did my research." Luke then said, "Well, I guess I never looked at it like that, so I guess that rule about Jedi can't have a Position of Power is kind of stupid if you think about." John nodded his head. Ash then said, "But the main reason we came over here is because our forces won't progress to Hearthome City without you leading the Charge." Just then Lilzor stepped into view and said, "That goes the same with the New Republic forces too." John then turned to Admiral Ackbar and Mon Mothma and said, "We'll need to finish our discussion later, I have a Battle to win and a planet to liberate." John then walked off to command the New Republic and P.M.R. forces in the Battle of Hearthome City, leaving Luke, Mon Mothma, and Admiral Ackbar standing there.
