The Consequences of Forbidden Force.

Chapter VIII.

The Army of Tython. Part I.

Juno Thermosphere.

I had tried everything I could, I had tried to convince the Council that the Separatists needed to be destroyed. They have been able to raid wre capital, we countered them but we haven't attacked the source of the raid. The Separatist Base on Balmorra.

I had a very strong feeling that Grevious could finally be destroyed for good on Balmorra, he's obviously used that Base before, if he's not using it now well atleast their will be a trail straight to him, the Jedi can't abandon the war when we could so easily win the war. We could end the Clone Wars once and for all.

I left the Jedi Temple, deciding to lean on a railing and metaphorically stare off into the distance, figuratively watching as the Skyscrapers in the distance began to obscure the setting sun. I had made it clear, I was going to fight for the greater good but it felt so wrong to be going against The Jedi Council, I feel like I'm about to turn into Revan.

if I had tear ducts I would be crying right now.

"I've heard about your outburst." Tethys startled me, she was wearing her Battle Aspirant Robes, her hood was down, her lekku down her back "So if making this Army of Light you'll need a headquarters, soldiers, and ships."

"I know but where are we going to get that money?" I asked the Twi'Lek Dark Jedi, right now in my mental state I couldn't help but find her attractive, I was trying to remain calm and collected on the outside but on the inside I was filled with emotions that I wanted to repress on reflex but I felt that I don't need to any more, my head was a emotional war zone.

"Well in our time inflation was rampant, nowadays credits are worth much more, that combined with nearly four thousand years of interest..." My mouth was wide open, the kind of money in my bank account with the details Tethys described, I'd be incredibly wealthy, if I include Tethys, Scourge, and Xalek this army would be formed very quickly.

"By The Force, I'm guessing you've also figured out a location for a base and a way to get a army?" as much as I hate it, having a plotting mastermind for a friend can be very beneficial for the greater good.

"Simple, we find suitable DNA sample and pay the Kaminoans to make us a army. For the headquarters I figured that the Clones would stay on the ships while the Jedi of this Army of Light refurbish the Jedi Temple on Tython." she smirked.

"Where would I be without you?" I smiled.

"Over Three Thousand Years in the past." she smiled back.

In my frustration, uncertainty, and general emotional chaos I did something I would have never done normally, I leaned in and kissed Tethys. At first she hesitated but she gladly kissed back very soon, I didn't want to think, I didn't want to regret, I just wanted to feel. Eventually my need for air got the better of me.

"Well...that was...pleasant...I guess, anyway me and Illontra will go and get a Fleet together, you find a suitable DNA sample and get the Clones made, from what I can tell the current cloning process can produce fully grown clones within a year. Scourge and Xalek should figure out what renovations we need for the Jedi Temple, I say we name it the Army of Tython."

"Good name but your not getting away with that kiss scot-free, I expect another one and a long talk very soon."

"I had a feeling you'd say that." I still smiled at her, but after a moment or silence I felt the need to address the problem "...well ah umm...uh...I...you, you where my first...my first kiss..." I stammered out.

"I kinda figured, the Jedi have sticks up their asses about that. Anyway we'll talk later, let's get Illontra, Xalek, and Scourge so we can get this Army of Tython on the road."

Illontra Ryz's perspective.

I couldn't believe it.

I asked Tethys to help me find Master Thermosphere after she stormed off, somehow that involved them making out. Though that's not what I couldn't believe, both sides somehow managed to make it obvious without either of them realizing, Juno is ignorant of romantic matters and Tethys is up her own ass with plots.

What I couldn't believe is the growing darkness I sensed not far from here, definitely still on Coruscant but not in the Jedi Temple. I looked in the direction of the Senate Building, either there or hopefully beyond a Jedi is slowly falling to the Dark Side.

"You sense it two?" Scourge asked, the Pureblood seems to have accepted her fate as being a woman because she had stopped shaving her head, the once Emperor's Wrath

was growing deep red hair and keeping it styled in a ponytail with bangs, the exact same way as Master Thermosphere, she finally got rid of her lat once of manliness. Xalek was behind Scourge, she was glaring at The Senate Buidling aswell.

"Yeah, someone is falling, slowly by surely." While Xalek and Scourge had been altered into having very feminine bodies by the Century Engine they remained two feet taller than me, I had just now noticed, Scourge looked menacing with her disproportionately large Vibrosword on her back and her curved-hilt Lightsaber on the hip of her shiny obsidian black armor and matching robes. Xalek had a Double-Bladed Lightsaber strapped to the belt of black and white Investigator's Robes, which she had refashioned to be much more feminine.

Eventually I sensed that Tethys and Juno approached us.

"Convenient that your all in the same place." Tethys quipped.

"As I'm sure you've all heard by now the Jedi Council is leaving the war." Juno didn't realize but her current speech was already gathering the attention of half a dozen Padawans and perhaps two or three Masters, she had only just started talking and everyone in the vicinity was listening "I believe that without direction the Clones will fall but I fear that the Jedi will go straight to the Chancellor if we try taking the Clones for ourselves. I believe that if we are to destroy the Separatist we must weaponize a division of Jedi!" I counted 29 Jedi listening to my master at this very moment, and based on the direction her speech was taking, She knew "To ensure the existence of The Republic and to destroy the current generation of Sith we need to band together with a Independent Army of Clones, we need a Fleet to transport us, and most of all we need Jedi to Fight for the greater good!" I lost count at 87 Jedi, we're probably well over a hundred "If any of you would like to join us come to Tython in one year's time, The Army of Tython will triumph against the Separatists!" each and every Jedi in the crowd cheered.

Juno Thermosphere's perspective.

Illontra and I had gone to Kuat, the home of the Kuat Drive Yards, the only corporation big enough to make Fleets for two forces at once, it's before the Star Forge it armed both The Galactic Republic and The Revanchists, I knew that it could arm me, especially my order was simple. The Modernization of The Interdictor-Class design, painting the bridge blue and leaving the outline of the logo of the Army of Tython, two stylized Saberstaffs crossed together, accompanied by modernized Thranta-Class ships, painted in blue with the same logo as the Capital Ships.

Tethys is on route to her mystery blood sample then she'll head to Tython, the Clones should be ready in a year, same time as the Jedi will be arriving. Lord Scourge and Xalek should be reaching Tython about now.

I looked over at Illontra, she was escalating her training at record time, once she overcame her self-doubt and came out with her new look she did the final stretch to mastering Vaapad, her progress in Shien was difficult but she was making it work, I had a feeling that she would master it before the Army of Tython is ready to mobilize.

We were to meet a Kuat Arms Executive, a Kel Dor named Ul Kayn, Kayn was infamous for his dislike of dealing with The Jedi but was unwilling to betray the Republic and side with The Separatists. Seeing that I was adding a third party that supported The Republic but was indepedent of the Jedi Council I saw this not as a deal of if but a deal of how, when, and what.

"Mister Kayn, pleasure to meet you." Me and Illontra shook his hand.

"Master Thermosphere, I was informed of your exact specifications and your fleet is underway, this meeting is for the price and exact details, otherwise it's just a formality, I personally admire what your doing."

"I assume that you've gotten the down payment on the Fleet?" I asked in return, we were walking in a hanger where several of my Interdictor II Class Cruisers and Thranta X Crusiers were already finished.

"Yes, I have organized a payment plan that should meet your standards." he handed me a datapad that showed a very reasonable payment plan for my Fleet, I signed as payer but as much as I hated to do so I had learned of some legal maneuvers, forming a military fleet in The Republic was illegal, punishable by execution. However it is illegal to execute a final survivor of a species, I signed Scourge as owner, this way no one can be legally killed if we are trialled.

Once the signatures where competed Ul Kayn took a look at them, he quickly realized what I was doing, I sensed a smile under his mask.

"While you may have thought this out, and I've heard from a associate on Belsavis that your friend Gigantes is looking from a certain DNA sample, clones. You haven't figured out who will be commanding your fleet, your Jedi are needed in combat and your clones won't begin with any military experience. You need a Admiral." I smiled at the Kel Dor.

"Well Mister Kayn I think I speak form both me and my master when I say that we'd be honored if you took the reigns of this fleet." I nodded at Illontra's statement "So what do you say?"

"Admiral Kayn does have a nice ring to it...aslong as I get full command of The Fleet in your absence and a pay check equal to or higher than what I get here I'll be glad to make the deal." I smiled at Ul.

"Of course, Admiral Kayn."

Tethys Gigantes' perspective.

I remember that a good friend of mine, Imperial Operative Mnemosyne Wraith once said she found a place on Belsavis, a place that she would like to be buried in. She found this place while she was exploring, scouting for a good ambush point, she told me about it and later showed me, I was betting that she was buried there and I was right.

Unfortunately her grave was robbed.

A local Chiss Sniper was said to be descended from her, I'd enlist the Sniper in my quest to find Mnemosyne's corpse, she would make the perfect template for a army, she was once just a regular imperial rank-and-file soldier before she joined Intelligence and they sent her off to Hutta, on that disgusting planet she began her rise to becoming Cipher Nine.

As I approached the high tech camp used by the sniper a blue-green blaster bolt passed inches from my face, hitting a rock behind me, the Sniper was giving me a warning shot. I raised my hands in a surrender and walked towards the young Chiss, she was in her teens, 17 perhaps, Illontra's age.

She wasn't aiming at me but she had her Sniper ready to fire.

"What do you want?" The Chiss asked.

"A ancestor of yours, Mnemosyne Wraith's grave was robbed. I was thinking that you would like to join me in finding her body." I explained.

"I took her casket, and no your not not it alive." she threatened, I quickly disabled her with the Force and pushed my Black-Purple Lightsaber to her neck, no one threatened me.

"Listen girl, don't mess with those stronger than you, and let me be clear and I don't want to steal the body, if you wanna sleep with your great grandmother's corpse or whatever you wanna do with it, be my guest. I just want a blood sample."

"Ohh...well fine but you gotta get me off this planet."

"Fine, I'm going to Kamino anyway I'll dump you there. Anyway I'm Tethys Gigantes."

"Themis Wraith."


Me and Themis had organized the formation of the Tythonian Clone Corps, but considering that Themis was a descendent of one of my closest friends and the fact that she was quickly growing on me I decided to allow her to accompany me back to Coruscant, we'd meet up with Juno and Illontra before meeting Lord Scourge and Xalek on Tython.

Juno Thermosphere's perspective.

A year had passed. The Chiss Clones were complete and Admiral Kayn was getting them adjusted to the Interdictor IIs and the Thranta Xs in orbit of Tython. He reported that 239 Jedi Fighters were requesting a peaceful landing on Tython. Kayn turned out to be a great choice, he had already advised us to attack the Spearatists on Balmorra, freeing Kuat's business ventures and forcing the Droids off the Planet.

I asked Kayn to direct the Jedi to Kaleth, there are some suitable clearings between the ruins.

Kit Fisto, Barriss Offee, Ashoka Tano and several hundred other notable Jedi approached the Jedi Temple, Scourge and Xalek had arranged the Saberstaff Cross to painted on both sides of the entrance to the cylinder shaped building, one side facing the path to Kaleth, the other facing the path from the Upper Valley. The Crowd of nearly a fourth of a thousand Jedi stopped in awe of the glorious headquarters to the Army of Tython, I was set up on top of the stairs to the entrance. I was ready to address the troops.

As the crowd approached I had Illontra and Tethys next to me, Scoutge and Xalek were behind me. I had managed to avoid the conversation with Tethys untill yesterday, she had demanded that after Balmorra we talk, she had her hands on me in a mix of anger and perversion that had scared me into agreeing with her. In any case Balmorra had to happen first and as much as I hated what would follow I would face it head on.

"Jedi!" I got their attention as soon as they here close enough to hear me "The Jedi Council left the war effort one year ago, in that time the Grand Army of The Republic has been forced out of the outer rim and General Grevious personally slaughtered a settlement of independent Force Users on Voss, the Separatists are rapidly closing in on the Galactic Core and it's time that a unstoppable force of Jedi and Clones equally weaponized push them back, my people have formed a Clone Army and a Fleet, it's your time now, it's time that we destroy this Confederacy and the Sith behind it! It's time to take the Drive Yards on Balmorra in the name of The Army of Tython!" Thunders of applause.

Since I wrote the intro to this chapter The Consequences of Forbidden Force has received another 500 views and I have finally gotten my first reviewer, anomymous reviewer I would message you but since you don't have a account I'll say it here. Thank You so much for being my first reviewer, I appreciate the feedback, it's make writing so much easier.

Next Chapter will be Army of Tython Part II of V, we see tha Battle of Balmorra from Illontra Ryz's perspective, Themis Wraith take leadership of the Clones of her ancestor, a unexpected ally of Admiral Kayn saves the Army of Tython on Balmorra, becoming Juno's General, Juno Thermoshere and Tethys Gigantes have the talk that leads to a strange kind if romantic relationship between the two, and we check up on Anaka Skywalker's corruption.

The chapters are gonna get longer on average and more exciting from now on, the Juno and Tethys' romance, The Army of Tython-Separatist War, and we are leading up to Order 66. This is getting interesting.

And I would like you guys to welcome The Consequences of Forbidden Force to the twenty thousand plus word category! Please Read, Review, and Enjoy!
