General Grievous looked at the stars in hyperspace, and at the new arms and legs the Confederacy left him in the ship.

How did I get captured? He thought to himself.

As Grievous pulled back the handle for hyperspace, he switched back to realspace, showing a large planet, filled only with one large city. Coruscant. Grievous tried to move the ship back away, but it seemed to be on autopilot. Supposing this was part of the plan, Grievous watched, knowing if he fought against the autopilot, he might be found, or over-stress the ships hull. Never having actually been to Coruscant, Grievous looked at awe at the city skyline, at the large towers that seemed to go down miles. His ship passed inspection, surprising Grievous, and the autopilot took him to the Old Industrial Center. He started heading towards a certain factory which opened its hanger door. As the ship gently landed with a small thump, a man was outside the ship, waiting for him. Grievous left his ship, and reached for his lightsaber, then he realized he didn't have them.

"Who are you?" Grievous asked to the strange man in a black hood.

"I am Darth Sidious"

Recognizing the name, Grievous bowed to Sidious. Wasn't he Dooku's Master? Grievous thought to himself.

"That is correct" Sidious replied to Grievous's thought. "I have heard that there have been some recent developments.

"Yes my Lord" Grievous responded.

"Tell me about what you have seen".

Grievous then stood up. "I was trying to do a sneak attack on the Republic through the Unknown Regions when I arrived at a system that could support life, the only one in that region. After a closer look, I realized they were trying to colonize their solar system, though very few of them were off of their planet. When I got in contact with them, they said they were part of the Republic. They then used a number of weapons that devastated my flagship. I then crashed, and was captured. They tortured me until a rescue fleet distracted them long enough for me to get into a ship they prepared. From what I could see, the attack lasted no longer then a couple seconds, as they used another special weapon which seemed to have disabled the droid army. As I was leaving, the rescue fleet seemed to have been destroyed by that planet."

"How did they capture you?" Sidious asked

Ashamed, Grievous responded "With slug throwers".

Shocked a group of slugs throwing soldiers from a backwards planet could capture the Separatists finest General, Sidious shook his head.

"I want you to return to Dooku, and tell him what you told me. This planet you told me about, what is it's name?"

"The inhabitants called it Earth" Grievous replied.

"And one final thing General, please send me the coordinates of that planet. And remember General, they will be repaid for what they did" at that, Sidious started laughing, and Grievous returned to his shuttle.

After Grievous left, Sidious lifted his hood and grabbed his holocommunicator.

"I want to meet with the Jedi Council over a new threat in two hours at my office".

Earth

Grant looked up at the screen, still surprised that the Alien General managed to escape.

"Sir, we have captured a alien droid soldier that crashed from the fleet. We may still be able to read its memory".

With a look of optimism in his eyes, Grant responded "Do that then"

Area 51, Laboratory

Looking at the remains of a tan alien robot, Mike stared, knowing it is his job to figure this out.

"Weren't all the robots fried by the EMP's?" Mike asked.

John, currently under the arm of the robot, looked at Mike. "Most were, but this one fell from space". Looking back at the robot, John continued. "Mike, can you take a look at this?" pointing at what seems to be an alien gun.

Grant took the gun, making sure to face what seemed to be the front away from him and towards a nearby whiteboard. He pulled a trigger, causing a pack of plasma to fire out from the gun. Not feeling as much recoil as he expected, he did it again. The thing he hit, a small whiteboard, had two searing holes through it. Then Mike noticed a switch, which he hit. After he aimed again for the whiteboard, he fired it, this time two blue rings were fired, and hit the whiteboard. The rings, once they hit the whiteboard were split into over a hundred different blue particles. One of the scientist near the white board took a yardstick and poked the whiteboard.

"The whiteboard is safe to touch". He then put his hand on the whiteboard, but immediately pulled his hand back as a bit of static electricity zapped his hand, causing him to fall over, getting a few chuckles and grins from those watching.

Realizing that was electricity, Mike gets an idea. "Can someone bring two Pigs in here? I want to do some testing".

A scientist brought two lab pigs over to Mike, who motioned for them to go near the whiteboard. Making sure the gun setting was on the blue rings setting, Mike fired at one of the pigs. The blue ring enveloped the pig and the pig began to fall under its own weight, caught only by a nearby scientist, who had trouble holding it. A couple more scientist came to help, and brought the pig to a table, where it was tested.

"It seems to be alive" one scientist said.

"Heart and brain are functional" another said.

"It seems to be a light sleep, part awake, part asleep" yet another scientist said "maybe the idea is to disable a person".

Deciding that the gun is worth his time, Mike looked more around it till he found that the lever could be switch a little more. He aims it at the whiteboard and fires. A straight blue light is fired at the whiteboard, which impacts it, but nothing as interesting as the stun mode. A scientist goes to touch the board with a electric tester when Mike quickly tells him to stop.

"Have a droid do it. It seemed more dangerous than the other blast". One of the scientist, who had a toy electric car in the office, offered its services, which was accepted. The tool was then mounted on the car, which slowly inched toward the whiteboard. The moment the metallic part of the tool touched the whiteboard, a pop could be heard. The car was destroyed, while the Tool, meant to handle the electricity, spiked in electricity readings.

"It seems there were three setting for the gun" Mike said under his breath. "Kill, Stun, and Overload".

Palpatine's Office, Coruscant=

Palpatine sat at his desk, looking at Jedi Masters Yoda, Windu, Mundi, and Kenobi, who were walking through the chancellor's office door.

Palpatine spoke up. "Jedi Masters, I am sorry for calling you on such short notice, but an emergency has come up".

"Did the Separatists launch another invasion?" Obi Wan Kenobi asked.

"This is another matter that is of the utmost importance to the safety of the Republic. A scout ship was searching a Star System in the Unknown Regions. It was part of the Unknown Regions Exploration Force, and it sent a signal reporting odd activity in a certain system. As the captain was speaking, a missile could be seen exploding the ship, along with the Captain. The signal came from the edge of the Unknown Regions bordering Republic and Separatist space. Little is known of this system, but it must be a secret weapons facility by the Separatists. I feel this is a job best for a Jedi. I suggest you also bring back one of those weapons for experimentation".

Ki Adi Mundi Replied "have there been any tries to communicate with them?"

"It seemed to have attacked the Republic Scout unprovoked". The Chancellor responded.

"I'll lead the Mission". Windu spoke up.

Obi wan replied "I would like to tag along if that would be ok. Cody has seemed very bored recently".

Yoda looked up "It is decided then, you two will go to the Unknown System".

Glad they fell for his plan, Palpatine offered a suggestion "Master Windu, since this will be one of the first military expeditions into the Unknown Regions, I suggest you bring a fleet of Warships. The coordinates and route to the planet will be put in your ship".

Now Palpatine thought to himself If what Grievous said was true, I should have two less Jedi Pests.

Area 51 Communications room, Earth

Three Generals walked up to Grant, the head being General Smith.

"General Grant, I am happy to inform you of a recent Development. We have figured out a way to reverse engineer the alien weapons, though they were found to be less effective than ours in speed and accuracy. We also figured out how their spaceships and mainly their fuel worked. We estimate at if we get enough funding, we could get a spaceship workable in about seven days".

"Any other news?" Grant asked.

"Yes, we figured out their shields are made of pure energy in a solid state. We don't know how they exactly work, but if we were to be attacked again, we could hack into the ship and turn off their shields and cause mass havoc. Also, the scientists working on the surviving alien droid managed to hack into its memory. After they figured how to hack into their systems, they managed to hack into a terminal of one of the ships and saw a map of the galaxy, and what seems to be the plan of the Aliens. They seem to be at war with another government, and if our translators did their job, it seems to be a certain Republic. We seem to be in a region of the Milky Way called the Unknown Regions, which may be why we haven't seen aliens yet. The governments other than the Republic and the Separatists are the area called Hutt Space, though their name doesn't seem to have much of a meaning. There seems to be other smaller governments like a slave group called the Zygerrians, and a small government called the Hapan's. In the section for the Unknown Regions, it talked about two governments, one called The Chiss, though very little seems to be known about them, except that some joined the Separatists at the beginning of the war. The second one is one that possesses very powerful unexplained weapons that are very dangerous. Based on the coordinates it gives, we have to assume it is talking about us. We are second on the list of dangerous enemies of the Separatists, aside from that Republic. I would like to ask if we can initiate Alpha plan two.

"You may begin preparations for Alpha Plan Two, but make sure that all of our electronic warfare units have the needed resources to hack into their ships first. Those Aliens will pay for what they did".

So I don't have any specific plans for the future of the story, so if you have a suggestion other than anything with Earth being destroyed, please send it.

w.m.simpson jr: I appreciate the reviews you have been giving for each chapter. I am keeping your suggestions in mind as I make the chapters.

HypoCritic: I could see that becoming a meme
