The Raging Galaxy
This chapter is about the Fire Nation. Enjoy and review. I do not own Star Wars the Clone Wars or Avatar the Last Airbender.
Chapter 4-The Fire Nation In Darkness
Rose POV
War has quickly spread throughout the galaxy. Like a raging fire, igniting tension and massive battles everywhere it touched. The Jedi Order has been forced into taking command of the Grand Army of the Republic. The Jedi Council as the High Generals, the Knights, Jedi Generals, and Padawans, Jedi Commanders. Count Dooku has escaped our attack on Geonosis and now travels the galaxy rallying more star systems to the CIS. Even here, on Earth, tension is building amongst the other countries and Coruscant. The Jedi are spread to thin, many of us too far from Coruscant to assist the Senate in regaining control.
After my Knighting, Anakin Skywalker was made a Knight and shortly afterwards, received a Padawan by the name of Ahsoka Tano. Only a few months into this war and already many are suffering. Skywalker and Tano were sent by the Council to rescue Jabba the Hutt's son from the Separatist. They both completed the mission, which gained us the alliance of the Hutts. But, to me we need more allies outside the Republic. In a meeting with the Chancellor I suggested convincing the US and Great Britain to join the Republic. He seemed to like the idea, because be said he would work on it immediately.
As a Knight I aim given an army of my own. The 53rd Attack Corps, an army of over 36,864 clone troopers. I requested that, Regimental Commander Blaze, be place as my second in command as Marshal Commander. My flagship, the Delta, a Venator-class Star Destroyer, is apart of the Open Circle Fleet.
Right now I'm near Dantooine, in open space protecting this sector from the Separatist. Though for the past few months, the CIS have been mainly on the defensive, protecting their planets and building up the forces for a massive counter attack. After we noticed what they were doing we halted most of our armies and started quickly building the Republic Navy. Now I am stuck away from the action, protecting a planet I doubt the Separatist would dare attack any time soon.
"Is there a problem General, you seem distracted?" Commander Blaze asked walking up to the bridge window next to me.
"Oh, no, nothings wrong, I just don't like to be away from the action" I answered turning to him.
"Yea, the other men are getting restless as well. What could the Separatist be planning that'd take this long?" He said looking back at the empty space in front of our fleet of 5 Venator-class Star Destroyer, and 3 smaller attack cruisers.
"I don't know but I hope it's not too hard to defeat. I almost forgot, contact the Temple for me we have to give our report." I said, looking at him again.
"Yes General." He saluted and walked to the communication room behind us.
When I walked into the room, minutes later I saw Master Yoda, Windu, Mashu, and Obi-wan waiting for me. "Masters." I said bowing. "Hello Rose how goes the sector?" Mashu asked. "All quiet Masters, like it was yesterday." I replied with a bored expression. "Well good news then you are to report back here for the next mission." Windu said looking at me. "Leave immediately you must." Yoda added. "Yes masters, I will leave right away." "Master Plo Koon will be taking over in your absence." Obi-wan also added. I was going to respond when one of the clone officers ran through the door, into the comm room. "Sir we picked up a fleet of enemy warships coming out of hyperspace!" He shouted, pointing to the windows on the bridge. Then a huge fleet of cruisers dropped out of deep space and quickly got into attack formation and opened fire on our fleet. "Masters we're under attack." But the hologram started flickering in and out. "Masters can you hear me!" I shouted. "Your... brea...up!" I heard Windu say before the hologram completely went out. "Sir they are jamming us." A clone told me. "Alright all batteries fire at the nearest starship, send out the fighters, and raise the shields." I ordered.
I walked over to the window and watched as thousands of droid fighters flew towards our fleet, engaging the Republic starfighters. "General their sending boarding parties!" A clone shouted to me from his computer post. "All troops report the main hanger and prepare for battle. We must repel the enemy!" I shouted over the loudspeaker. "Well Commander, we finally got some action. Let's go!" I said smiling. Finally something to do.
Darth Sidious POV
What Knight Sapphire said is true. I do need more allies, but not to end the war, to prolong it and help take control of the galaxy. But, the only way to get the US and the other powerful countries into this war, they would have to be directly attacked by the Separatist. Because the Jedi created the massive Coruscant Home Fleet I can't send the CIS anywhere on Earth without getting caught.
Then it came to me, if I manipulate a powerful country, and supply them with new, better weapons and a army of droids, then they could simultaneously attack the US, Russia, China, and Great Britain. What better country than the Fire Nation. They are already quite powerful with their firebending, all they need is better weapons. Fire Lord Ozai and Princess Azula pretty much won their war against the Earth Kingdom and Water Tribes, that is until the Avatar returned and ended the war a year ago. The day the Avatar returned the Force shifted greatly, sending light-side force waves through the galaxy. From that moment I knew the Fire Nation would most likely lose that war. Now, with Fire Lord Zuko taking the throne I will have to secretly build a droid army here on Earth and supply them with advanced weaponry. Then I can replace Zuko back with Ozai and Azula, they are the perfect puppets for my purposes.
I got up from my meditation area and made my way to the comm room. When I was on a secure line, I contacted my droid foundry somewhere under the Indian Ocean near the Southern Water Tribe. A tactical droid appeared before me. "What is thy bidding my Lord?" He asked in a mechanical voice. "What is the complete status of the army?" I asked, my face hidden behind my cloak. "As you wish my lord, sending you the data now."The droid answered pushing a few buttons. Then the status report appeared on one of my computer screens. It read:
5,000,000 Battledroids ready for deployment
1,000,000 Super Battle Droids ready
3,000 Commando Droids ready
350 Destroyer Droids
45,000 cannons
2,000 AATs
1,000 STAPs
555,000 droid fighters ready at the moment
555,000 droid bombers ready at the moment
150 droid transports
1,000 DSD1 dwarf spider droids ready
1,000 OG-9 homing spider droid
100 MagnaGuards
1,000 Octuptarra magna tri-droids
"Very good, but we will have to accelerate our plans. Prepare the ready droids and weapons for battle." I commanded the tactical droid. "But, my lord the army is not fully complete." The droid responded. "That is irrelevant, prepare the droids and continue with the rest of the droid army." "By your command." The droid said, and I cut the transmission. "Droid, prepare my ship." I said turning to a MagnaGuard behind me. Its time I paid the former Fire Lord a prison visit.
Rose POV
In space the battle raged, with Republic starfighters holding off droidfighters, and the cruisers hitting the Separatist frigates with everything they had. We already lost one cruiser and another one was weakening. The clones on the inside of my cruiser were fighting the droids that boarded my ship. Me and Blaze our making are way to the hanger.
When we made it down there it was a mess. The droids were spread out everywhere behind a barrier the troopers set up to keep the droids back. "Men get some auto turrets on the above walkways, now!" I shouted to three nearby clones. "Sir, yes sir!" The answered and made there way to the walkways. "Commander get a squad behind the droids and catch them in a cross fire." I ordered Blaze. "You got it sir. Come on squad move it." When he left I jumped onto a crate and activated my sabers. I deflected multiple bolts before moving to a closer crate. Then I saw Commander Blaze and his squad in positions. "Fire at will commander!" "With pleasure sir, fire men." The droids caught on and some turned their attention to the small squad.
With some of the droids distracted, I hoped of the crate, "Come on men, push forward."
"You heard her lads lets go. Ahh." The clone was hit by a bolt and dragged away by a medic. The rest of the clone rushed forward and held the line of fire. As I was deflecting bolts I saw the three clones, on the above walkways, were done with the turrets. "Fire the turrets troopers on my mark...Fire!" The turrets above rained down on the droid forces. Then I ran in and began slicing through droid after droid. After the clones destroyed the last of the droids, my comlink started beeping. "General Sapphire here." A clone officer's voice came over, "General Plo just jumped out of hyperspace and engaged the droid fleet from behind. The remaining forces have fled the battle." "Good work men, now lets clean up and get some rest." After I helped clean up a little I went to the bridge with Commander Blaze.
When I got to the bridge, I went to the communication room and found a holo of Plo Koon. "Greetings Master Plo, thanks for the support." "Don't mention it young one. Now you may report back to Coruscant. You and your men deserve a rest. We will take over here." Master Plo said. "Yes master I will be on my way." I cut the connection and turned to Blaze. "Tell the Admiral to head back to Coruscant." He saluted and walked of to the Admiral. Then I walked over to one of the starmaps and studied the Republic Fleets movements as we jumped into hyperspace. Looks like the Separatist are finally going on the offensive.
Darth Sidious POV
As my ship sped toward the Fire Nation, I began considering whether to reveal myself as the Sith Lord. I ultimately decided to just reveal myself and manipulate Ozai into going to war with the other nations on a much lager scale. With the Fire Nation and Separatist attacking the other nations would have no choice but to choose a side. With the Jedi doing my commands, it should be easy to convince the other nations to join the Republic.
When we landed, I ordered one of the droids to stay behind and keep the cloaking device on so no one sees the ship. Then me and two MagnaGuards, dressed in cloaks to hide their identity, headed of in the direction of the prison. Once we found what must have been the prison. I proceeded to put all the guards asleep. Then me and the droids entered the building and searched for Ozai in the different cells. Then I sensed him upstairs, and I ordered the droids up first, then I followed. After I found the door, leading to Ozai's cell, because the door was locked I used the Force to unlock it and entered the dimly lit room. And slumped against the wall, was the former Fire Lord himself, watching me slowly approach.
"And who might this be, gracing me with their presence, in my lonely, little prison cell?" Ozai asked looking up at me.
"Hello former Fire Lord." I said with a slight bow. "I have come to propose a plan, a plan in which you and your daughter will rule once again." I said coolly, looking back at him.
"Hmm, I'm listening." He said moving closer to the cell bars.
"If I can eliminate Zuko and manipulate the nation into wanting you as Fire Lord again, taking the entire country back will be easy. In fact I've already started my influence on the rest of the population." I said taking a seat in a chair nearby. "But there is a catch, you must pledge loyalty to me and my cause."
"And why would I do that?" Ozai said slowly standing up.
"Because I am the most powerful being in the entire galaxy. My hand extends to every major event in the galaxy. I also am in a position of great power in the Galactic Senate. With my help, you will quickly have control again. But in exchange for my services, you will pledge loyalty to me, for I am am a Sith Lord." I said still staring at him through the dim darkness.
After a long pause he finally spoke up. "And what might I have to do, Sith?" He said looking at the ground.
"Once your in power I want you to simultaneously attack the US and her allies. Then they would be forced to pick a side in the clone war. Then we can draw the Avatar into this conflict and eliminate another obstacle in my plans." I answered.
"I... will... do your bidding, as long as I get my power back." He said looking back at me.
"Excellent, you will be given a large number of Separatist droids to add to your army of firebenders. Your daughter will be released and serve at our side. After Zuko is eliminated you will be placed back in power which wouldn't be long now. If you will excuse me, I have other things to attend to." I said standing up, exiting the room.
After I made it back to my ship we immediately headed back to Coruscant. Now that everything is in place and the citizens slowly wanting a change in their nations leadership, it wouldn't be long until the US and her allies join the war. Then once I take complete control of the galaxy, they will all be absorbed into the empire. With the Jedi Order destroy and the Avatar and his friends eliminated, taking control will be easy. The end is near for the Republic.
Zuko POV
For whatever reason, for the last few weeks, the citizens suddenly want change in my leadership. Before they were happy with me, but now the number of death threats has raised and already 4 people tried to assassinate me in my sleep. Recently, Mai decided I needed better security and asked Suki and the Kyoshi Warriors to act as bodyguards, and since then no one has attempted anything. I questioned my father but he claimed he had nothing to do with the incidents.
I couldn't sleep so I walked around the Palace watching the shadows, the hall was lined with guards. I made it outside and Suki, Ty Lee, and Mai were sitting by the turtle duck pond talking. "I'm not interrupting am I?" I asked sitting next to Mai. "Well we didn't want to tell you in til the morning, but your awake so we might as well tell you now... Azula escaped from the asylum." Mai said looking me in the eye. My heart skipped a beat, how was this possible, she was under constant watch. "When was this?!" I said alarmed. "Earlier this morning, the messenger hawk just arrived an hour ago." Ty Lee answered looking at the pond. "They tried looking for her but she just disappeared. She could be on her way here right now" Mai said with a serious look.
As if on cue, a huge, wild blue flame, hit right in front of us. We all jumped out the way and got in difference stances. Then Azula landed not too far away in front of us. "Hello Zuko, traitors and friends. Its been a while!" She said launching another wild fire at us but I quickly dispersed the flame. "What are you doing Azula! Stop this." I said looking her in the eye. "Can't do that Zuzu my new master wouldn't be very happy about that. I've been ordered to kill you, and I have a few 'friends' to help." She said waving her hand. Then 4 robots jumped of the roof and raised their weapons at us. "These are commando droids, but you won't be here long enough to care." The droids opened fire an we all ducked and rolled out the way then I fired at the closes one but it moved with great speed and lunged at me, but I fire kicked it away. "We have to get out of here! Let's go!" I shouted and we ran for the exit, but the droids followed.
When we got outside I ordered the guards to slow them down but leave if they are overwhelmed. We made it outside the city at the top of the dormant volcano. "I hope you guys got a plan to escape because I'm out of ideas!" I shouted to the 3 girls while firebending at a group of droids trying to reach us. "Aang is already on his way, but we need to meet them at the docks." Suki answered pointing at the docks below. "Let's go then." I said with one more blast of fire at the droids. Then we quickly boarded a hot air balloon near the mouth of the volcano. As we took of I saw Azula with the droids and they began firing at the balloon. Some of the shots hit us and we started descending fast. "Steer the balloon towards the docks." Suki shouted. "I'm on it." I shouted back. We crashed close to the docks so we ran the rest of the way, I could here more droids closing in on us. "Come on Aang, now would be a good chance to swoop in and save us." I said when we got to the docks. Then in the distance I spotted Appa coming closer. When he landed Aang jumped down to us. "What are you doing here guys, I thought I was meeting you..." He was cut off by more blaster fire. "Whoa. That would be cool if they weren't shooting at us. What are they?" Aang asked while creating a earth wall in front of the docks. "We'll explain later lets get out of here!" I shouted jumping on Appa. "Right, Appa yip-yip." Aang said jumping back on to Appa. The Azula jumped in front of the droids and fired a huge blast of fire at Appa as we flew away. Aang's eyes flashed a glowing white and he jumped to the back of Appa. "Huuhhh!" Aang shouted waving his staff in front of him, causing a huge ark of wind to blast the fire back at Azula, which exploded at her feet.
When Aang sat back down he said, "We'll go to Ba Sing Se where we'll be safe and talk with the others about this."
When we finally arrived at Ba Sing Se we went to the Palace and found Katara, Sokka, and Toph waiting for us. "What happened to you guys?" Sokka asked while we were walking to the throne room. "Well... Azula escaped and tried to kill us, she had some droids with her but I thought they were used by the Separatist in their war. Azula also said something about her 'master' whoever that is. That's about it." I answered him. "Well I'm sure the Earth King will want to hear about this." Katara said from behind us.
When we entered the throne room we saw the King and his pet bear Bosco. We all bowed to him when we got close to him. "Welcome back Team Avatar and Fire Lord Zuko, what can I do for you?" The King asked us. "Well actually Im not in control of the Fire Nation, Azula returned and tried to assassinate me, and I'm sure she got my father out of prison." I said to him, looking him in the eye. "But Azula had help, a quite large group of droids assisted her. But I thought there were none Separatist on Earth, do you know what's going on?" I asked him. "No, but we must contact the Jedi. They will want to know about this." He said resting his chin in his hands.
"My king," a messenger entered the room, "The Fire Nation has engaged our western army but they have Separatist battledroids whipping out our forces!" He shouted. "Get a Messenger hawk to the Jedi Temple immediately!" The king shouted. "Yes sir." The messenger turned and hurried out of the room.
"The Fire Nation is trying to restart the war, but are being backed by the Separatist, that's just sad." Toph stated. "They know they can't win without help." "When the Jedi arrive they might be able to help. But I would have to join the Republic and give up our neutrality. Given the circumstance we have no choice." The king stated.
Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam (Hawaii, U.S.)
"Admiral we are picking up hundreds of flight craft, but they aren't responding!" A young Naval officer told their commanding officer.
"Send a squad of fighter jets up their to confront them." The Admiral said. "Yes sir."
Three jets approached the unidentified ships. When they found them, the pilots immediately recognized them. "This is squadron A-17 those unidentified ships are Separatist droidfighters!" The lead jet said into his communicator. "You have permission to fire squad leader, take them out!" An officer ordered. "Yes sir!" The squad of jets fired multiple missiles at the droids and hit only one of them. Then the droids split up and rapidly approached the jets firing their blaster bolts. "Ahhh, we're hit, abort, abort. Command the droids are on their way dow...!" An explosion sounded over the comm cutting the connection.
"All personnel prepare for an air-raid!" The Admiral shouted over the loudspeaker. "Sir they are right on top of us." Another officer stated as the building shook. "Fire the anti-aircraft cannons, knock them out of the sky. Get me the Pentagon, NOW!" He shouted to an officer. "Yes sir!" They said and moved about executing his orders.
Outside the fighterdroids flew in low and fired missiles at the citizens below killing hundreds and destroying building, as the people screamed in horror. While the droidfighters attacked the city, the droid bombers attacked the military's base, destroying hundreds of their fighter before they could take off. Then the bombers moved from the airfield, and towards the docks. They destroyed multiple Naval ships and hit the submarine docking area. The droids delivered a fatal blow to the U.S. militaries Pacific Fleet and their airforce presence in this part of the world.
Oval Office, White House (Washington D.C.)
"Mr. President, we have urgent news." A young man said walking into the office. "Yes what is it?" President Obama said looking up from his work. "Pearl Harbor is under attack. We believe it's the Separatist, sir." The young man said. "Are you sure!?" The president asked putting his work down. "Yes sir, the Pentagon confirmed it. Check the news channels." He said. Then the President moved passed him and went downstairs to the situation room. When he got there two of the screens showed a news channel covering the attack. "Get me a video chat with the Defense Secretary." He ordered on of the officers. "Yes sir."
Then a while later the President, Vice-president, and the CIA director met with the Secretary on a video chat screen in the situation room. "Mr. Secretary, what is going on?" The president asked him. "We're not entirely sure but a heavily armed fleet of Separatist droidfighters and bombers approached the base and attacked th e city and military targets. They have crippled our Pacific Forces." The Secretary said looking through the reports on his desk. Then someone walked over to the Secretary and whispered in his ear. "Mr. President, we have a smaller second wave coming in but to Naval Base San Diego." The Secretary said when the aid walked away. "See if we can intercept those ships." The president ordered. "Joe see if you can contact the Jedi, I want answers." He said to his friend and vice-president Joe Biden. "Right away." Biden said as he got up and walked out of the room. "Mr Director, look into how the Separatist slipped into our airspace." The president said to the CIA director. "Yes sir." He said and walked out of the room as well. With everyone working Obama decided to stay and watch the news coverage of the incident.
CBS Evening News (San Diego, California)
"Earlier today the Separatist droids attacked Pearl Harbor Naval amd Air Force forces, crippling the Pacific Fleet. The droids also targeted the cities nearest the base, Department of Defense told us just minutes ago." A news lady said standing in a San Diego park across from City Hall. "The Pentagon said they're doing everything they can to intercept the ships and destroy them. And the President will address the nation later this afternoon. Also the White House has been in contact with Coruscant and are speaking about the attack. President Obama will answer more questions later." She said. "Thank you Julie, have there been any confirmation of another attack coming." A man off camera, probably at the studio, asked. "No Tim, but Naval Base San Diego have mobilized their force's aircraft and fighter jets have been constantly flying around the area..." She was interrupted by a loud fighter jet passing overhead. "As you can hear and seesee the military are still patrolling and..." She was interrupted avain by an explosion. The camera panned to a cloud of smoke and debris from one of the jets. "O' MY GOD, WE AREARE UNDER ATTACK!" She said as multiple droidfighters flew over head firing at the city and citizens below. The news lady and cameraman ran for cover in a shop full of people crying and screaming. "Tim as we speak the city is being bombarded from the area and I assume the Naval Base is under attack as well. The air raid alarms are sounding all over the city, if you are within the city limits you must get to safety immediately!" She shouted.
The droidfighters attacked the city mercilessly, hitting skyscrapers with missiles and firing their blasters at the terrified citizens. At the Naval Base, droid bombers attacked the cruisers, destroyers, aircraft carriers, even small support and rescue ships. They hit the base HQ building and repair docks. Any fighter jet that tried to stop the were shot down before they could even fire a shot. Now almost the entire western naval defence were destroyed or heavily damaged.
Joe Biden POV
As soon as I got to my White House office, I told my secretary to contact the Jedi Council. While I waited I watched the news coverage as San Diego was attacked. Then my secretary returned with holoprojector and put it on my desk, after a few moments Master Yoda, Windu, Obi-wan, and Mashu appeared in front of me. "Master Jedi." I said bowing my head slightly. "Problem there is. Help you how can we?" Yoda said looking at me in the eye. "Yes Masters, if you don't already know the U.S. is being attacked by Separatist droidfighters and bombers, they have almost completely wiped out the Pacific Fleet. President Obama wants to know how the droids got here in the first place." He asked looking at all of them. They all exchanged looks before Obi-wan spoke up, "Then it as we feared. The Separatist must have placed that army here long before the war started, and they must have a nation who joined them without our knowledge." He said, stroking his beard. "Based on what the Earth King reported, the Fire Nation has alligned themselves with the CIS and dethroned Zuko. Now Ozai and Azula are back in power." Mashu stated. "So this is the Fire Nation attacking, ordered by Dooku." I asked."It wold appear so." Windu said. Then the secretary entered the office, "Sir the droids have finished there attacks and there doesn't appear to be more coming." She said and closed the door. "Well Master Jedi the Separatist have stopped there attacks and are probably returning to the Fire Nation." I said turning back to the JedI. "You know we cannot support you so long as you remain neutral. The only way for us to get involved is if you Congress join the Republic." Obi-wan said. "I know, but that's up to the president and Senate. I will speak to you soon." I said and the Jedi bowed their heads and cut the transmission.
President's Address (Oval Office)
"I come to you this afternoon because the Separatist and Fire Nation has invaded our airspace and attacked our military bases, killing military and civilian personnel. They also bombarded our cities of San Diego, California and Honolulu, Hawaii, killing thousands. Princess Azula has driven Fire Lord Zuko out of their country and Ozai has regained control. The Separatist have been secretly creating an army here, on Earth, to spread war, and terror throughout the rest of the world. Now the U.S. has felt what many planets have felt when the Separatist kill innocent people to gain power. I for one will not stand for it."
"I ask Congress to look at the damage the Separatist have done, and reconsider our neutrality and join the Galactic Republic. I think it's time we rise up and help defend this nation and others across the entire galaxy. I ask our allies, to also give up neutrality and fight for the Republic. If we join the Republic, I will personally represent the U.S. on the Galactic Senate."
Then a secretary walked up and whispered into his ear. "I have just been informed that the Earth Kingdom and Water Tribes also wishes to join the Republic for they have all been attacked by the Fire Nation. The 100 Year War has restarted but on a galactic scale. We can't allow another hundred years of darkness. We must merge our military with the Clone Army of the Republic. With their technology and advanced weapons, and our added numbers, we can turn the tide of this war."
"Congress, allies, we must forget our neutrality and join the Republic. They can't help as long as we are neutral. We must avenge the American lives lost today and defeat the Separatist. All of our lives might depend on a Republic victory. Forgo our neutrality!"
The next day, San Diego rescue teams shifted through debris looking for survivors. So far there were more dead the alive people they found. Most of the Naval ships that were hit were completely destroyed or heavily damaged. Honolulu had less damage, but they still had thousands dead. Pearl Harbor was left in the same, if not worse, state as the Japan attacks decades ago. Unlike the Japan attacks, the Separatist targeted the submarines and repair docks, dealing a devastating first strike. The Fire Nation new were to hit us.
Congress held an emergency session to decide whether or not to join the Republic. Some argued that the Galactic Senate was corrupt and held to much power and influence. Others argued that the Separatist must pay for their attacks and that maybe the U.S. can be apart of the last battle on the Separatist homeworld, if the Republic makes it that far. And others say that the Jedi would not let us down. But then other people didn't like the idea of merging the U.S. Armed Forces with the Grand Army because that would mean losing power over their forces when they are under the Jedi and Galactic Senate. And to add to that, if the U.S. forgos its neutrality, her allies would to, which means the world superpowers would be powerless. The people of the country were demanding that we join the war and defeat the Fire Nation and Separatist both.
After a long, heated debate, the Congress made their decision: the U.S. will forgo it's neutrality and officially join the Republic and President Obama, vice-president Biden, and the Speaker of the House will personally represent them in the Galactic Senate. Most of the citizens applauded their decision, while others were still sceptical on the matter.
Not long after we joined, the United Kingdom, China, Russia, Australia, Canada, India, France, the Water Tribes, and the Earth Kingdom joined the Republic and sent their representatives to Coruscant. The U.S. declared war on the Fire Nation and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. They handed over partial control of their Armed Forces, along with the other nations, to the Republic. The Clones will be the main army while the other forces will be support forces.
The Fire Nation attacked the other nations soon after they joined the Republic. The Jedi are spread to thin to help directly but sent a small part of the Grand Army to assist them. One good thing that came out of this was that the U.S. military were given and trained on bow to use the Republic's advanced weapons and aircraft.
Rose POV (Jedi Temple)
When I got back to Coruscant, the Council informed me of the Fire Nation's attacks and how the other nations have joined the Republic. Wow, I missed a lot. The Fire Nation and the Separatist joining forces was not good news and was disturbing. How did the Separatist influence the Fire Nation? The Council believes it was the second Sith Lord who influenced them. That just makes him an even bigger threat than he already was.
Master Yoda is going to the Earth Kingdom to meet the king and Avatar Aang and I agreed to go. On our way there, Yoda told me that in a old jedi library on Dantooine, a holocron revealed to us that, over 10,000 years ago, the Avatar could use the force as a Jedi can. The knowledge was lost years ago and the Avatars following the last Force-talented Avatar, and all the Avatars after him didn't know they held force potential. And Master Yoda told me we will tell Aang when the time was right. That was some shocking news but it made sense. The Avatar is one of the most powerful beings in the Galaxy, it would make perfect sense why the Avatar had a high midichlorian count.
If Anakin is not the Chosen One, or even if he is, the Avatar might be able to help. The force is telling me that the two must meet and that Aang has to be trained in the ways of the force. Me and Master Yoda agreed that we must follow the will of the Force and act on these voices. But for now we have to meet him and gauge just how powerful he is. That is the reason for this visit.
The Last Airbender must help save the Galaxy.
Well that's the end of this chapter. I've been thinking about the Avatar and the force, and because Aang is the most powerful person on Earth if the force was real he would be very strong in it. Also in this story the 100 year war ended in 2008 and the Clone Wars started in 2009. In my weird story, the war will last 5 years. Review please! (:
Next Chapter: Master Yoda and Rose visit the Avatar. The U.S. engage in their first battle on another planet. Also we see Skywalker and Ahsoka.
P.S. I know im not very good at battle scenes. They might get better as time goes on.
