Jack's POV

I took a deep breath as I disembarked the shuttle. As the ramp lowered, I heard a torrent of cheers.

I laughed a little, and waved as we exited the ship. Drew, the Admirals and I then spotted Kenzi, C.G, Adia and Kovu.

I smiled, and walked forward. C.G smiled and hugged me.

"Dad!" Kovu cried, rushing forward.

"Daddy!" Adia cried with the same level of excitement towards Drew. Drew hugged her tightly with a smile on his face. He looked glad to be home!

Kylie smiled and ran forward after them.

I hugged my two children, and felt nothing but sheer joy.

No words could describe how good this felt.

We were victorious.

As I looked around at the cheering, the flag waving, the sheer euphoria, it made proud to be here.

Screw earth. This is my home! I thought.

Drew's POV

I was finally home! I had Adia in my arms again and nothing else mattered to me in this moment! We were nearly killed in the first battle, even losing some amazing men, including admirals.. But the second battle, we kicked some ass! Honestly, with Anakin and Kratos both on our side? On top of an already fierce and determined military? How could we have lost?

But now the battle was over, at least for now.. I am relieved to no end about that. I was back with my family and I was going to enjoy myself for awhile!

I looked over at Jack, Kovu, Kylie, and C.G. I smiled at the sight. They really were an amazing family! Maybe one day Adia, Jade and I could be a-

Wait

I widened my eyes in shock at what I had just thought. Did I really just think that!? Get over yourself! She would never love someone like you! She wouldn't wanna be apart of your family! Just forget about it..

I sighed.

"Come on, Adia." I told her. "Let's go see Uncle Jack and Aunt C.G." Adia smiled.

"Okay!" She excitedly said. We walked up to the family and I said,

"It's good to be home, ain't it?"

Jack turned.

"You know, I could really use a victory dinner."

"You read my mind."

Jack's POV

We all sat down in a nice restaurant, ready to enjoy some much needed food.

"Guys, that was amazing! We saw the air battle, and we couldn't believe what happened!" Kylie commented.

"Yeah!" Adia said. "You and Daddy shot those guys right out of the sky! It was incredible!"

I chuckled a little. "Yeah. I'm just glad it's all over."

C.G nodded. "So am I. Though I must ask, what if this continues? What if they don't make peace?"

"As Kratos would say," Drew began. He then did his deepest voice. "They would all die.."

We all laughed at that.

"Yes. We'll keep beating them, go all the way to Coruscant if we have to, until Palpatine and his ilk are dead in the ground."

Unknown POV

"Skipper's log..." I began my age old routine. Every time my unit and I went on a mission, saved the world or had to deal with Ringtail's shenanigans, I reported the situation.

"Hot...too hot…We're stuck in a desert, with no food or water, or-"

"Eh, stupidy penguin?" Said annoying lemur began.

"Not now ringtail!" I snapped.

"Skippa…" Private began.

I was starting to get annoyed.

"What?! What could possibly be the big eme...ergency..." I blinked.

A large city was finally visible on the horizon.

"Men, do you see that too?" I asked.

"You mean the titanium alloy skyscrapers built over a-" Kowalski began.

"Yes, we see the city Skippa!" Private declared.

"Yep." Rico agreed.

"Huh..." Marlene, our otter friend began, "You're right. I thought that was a mirage."

"What does marriage have to do with this? I don't see any-" Julien began.

"Anyway." I said. "That's our best chance. Let's just hope its not lower mammals that rule that place."

"Hello?" A voice called out. It was a female by the sound of it. "Who's out there?"

I turned to see a young human girl, maybe 13 approaching. When she saw us, she giggled.

"Awee, look at the penguins." She then looked at Marlene. "And is that an otter? I love otters!" Finally she looked at Julian. "And.. hmm, a lemur. Interesting."

The lemur blinked, offended. "What? You like the testy penguins but not the king?"

"He'll never let that go." Maurice sighed.

Mort, meanwhile, took the opportunity to grab the idiot king's feet. "THE FEET!"

I sighed. "You didn't see anything..." I said, waving my hands in a circle. The female mammal cocked a brow.

"Umm, yeah. Yes I did see it.. So you all can talk, huh? That's cool! It wouldn't be the strangest thing I've seen in this place."

"She knows too much!" I groaned.

Rico then upchucked a stick of dynamite. "Kaboom?" He asked.

"Come on Skippa! What's so bad about this anyway? We help humans all the time." Private pointed out.

I sighed, and nodded. "No kaboom Rico."

Rico mumbled in sadness, and swallowed the dynamite back into his bottomless gut.

"Sorry, I'm Skipper, this is my team, Kowalski, Private and Rico. This is Marlene, Julien, Maurice and Mort." The aforementioned mouse lemur was finally kicked off of Julien's feet.

"So where's the head honcho of these parts? We're stuck out here and need some kind of explanation, and fish, mostly fish." I added. The human chuckled.

"Well if you mean the leader, then that'd be Jack. I could show you where he's at if you need to talk to him." Then she added, "And I'm sure there's some fish around too.."

I grinned. "Excellente, oh, and talking to this Jack is good too."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Jack's POV

I grinned, sipping a little hot chocolate. "You know, it's funny how cold it's getting. You think it will snow in a few weeks?"

Drew and C.G were with me. We were hanging out on the porch, enjoying a nice break from all the administration. Drew shrugged.

"Who knows? I come from Missouri originally, and it could snow one day, and be 80 degrees the next! If this place is anything like that, then it's definitely possible." Drew laughed.

C.G shrugged. "I've dealt with enough cold for one lifetime."

I shrugged. "If you lived in California cold would be 99 degrees. It's never cold there."

I turned to Drew. "Any luck?" I asked with a grin. I could tell he was in love with Jade… Drew widened his eyes and tried to play dumb.

"Luck? Luck with what?" Drew asked.

I grinned. "You know...Your little crush."

C.G rolled her eyes. "Why is that such a big deal to you?"

I shrugged. "Peacetime is boring for me. I have to find some kind of entertainment." Drew rolled his eyes and jokingly said,

"You're a dick, Jack.. You know that?"

I laughed. "Yes, I know." Drew sighed.

"I dunno man.." He began. "I know I've only known her for like 2 days, but she's just hot as fuck! Not that I'm just into her for her looks.. I'm sure she's a great person too when she's not trying to kill me." Drew laughed at that.

I nodded. "Like you told me, you just need to get up the courage to ask."

C.G looked at me, amused. "You two are hopeless." Drew shrugged with a smirk.

"Aren't we always?.." He sarcastically asked.

C.G rolled her eyes. "Drew, if you do like her, tell her how you feel. The longer you hide it, the more it will mess with you, trust me, I know." Drew sighed.

"You know I can't do that, C.G." He said seriously. "I mean, what'll I say? 'Hey, I know we just met a couple days ago and you almost tried to kill me, but I think I'm in love with you!'."

C.G sighed. "Well if you say it like that. But seriously, what's with men thinking that we will always say no? We go through the same worries you do. We do love you guys back, so if you won't ask, you might be giving it all up." Drew looked as if he was in thought. He grinned and said,

"You make a point. I appreciate the help, C.G. I hope you know that." He paused. "But I don't know.. I may give it some time.."

I nodded. "I understand. I do get waiting for a little while. You'll be able to get to know her better." Drew nodded in agreement. With a smile, he then said,

"Wouldn't that be something? Drew, Adia, and Jade. A family.." He chuckled slightly at the thought.

I laughed. "That would be amazing."

C.G chuckled. "I am glad Kovu and Kylie seem to like me. I just hope I can be a good...mother for them."

Then, there was a sudden exclamation.

"Jack..." Caesarius began. He sounded terrified. As if…

Then we saw it. A massive ship had arrived a few miles away.

"Its...Tyromairon...How did he get here?!" Carandial began, sounding just as panicked.

I was confused. Then I remembered, their old leader.

"He's...demanding a meeting with us. He wants to know whose in charge here."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Anakin, Drew, myself, and a visibly panicked Caesarius walked slowly through the long line of soldiers. They resembled our own soldiers very closely, mostly Libertus and Basileus, but their gray helmets reminded me of the faceless Stormtroopers we had fought against in the Battles with the Galactic Empire.

Then, four figures approached, two Libertus, one Basileus, and one a tall, scarlett scaled reptilian, with a black cloak.

"Mandator Caesarius..." The cloaked figure said, his voice without any hint of emotion.

"Emperor Tyromairon." Caesarius said respectfully.

I looked to this "Tyromairon."

"I am Jack, Emperor of the Dilanian Empire." I introduced myself.

"Ah yes...you impress me. All of you."

He looked to Drew, his eyes staring into Drew's very soul.

"It seems we're lost, and we are setting up a colony. We are here to inform you that we wish to establish diplomatic relations." Drew had his eyes narrowed, visibly suspicious and uncomfortable around this guy.

"What did you have in mind?.." He asked.

"A trade agreement should work, as well as a designated border to prevent unfortunate incidents." Drew didn't like the tone he said that statement in. It gave him chills.

'Why do we always get the violent ones?..' Drew thought.

"I assure you we are not violent, unless provoked, Captain King..." Tyromairon said, smirking, baring sharp, jagged teeth. Drew widened his eyes in shock. Was he seriously being choked again!?

"What the fu-" but he was cut off before he could finish.

Tyromairon sighed. "Enough Meketanor."

Another figure, hidden among the troopers, sighed, but stopped choking Drew.

"I assure you are intentions here are not destructive. So long as you remain in your borders, we'll remain in ours."

A/N: These characters belong to Cyrannian as I said before! I just got permission to use them!

With that he turned to Caesarius. "You have made a wise choice for your military advisor, Emperor Jack. I trust he'll serve you well."

With that, Tyromairon turned and returned to the ship.

"Our delegation will meet with you in two days time. " The Basileus declared.

I nodded, and motioned for Drew to follow. Already, Star Destroyers similar in appearance to ours were looming overhead. Though like the Galactic Empire, they were the gray, colorless, faceless enforcers of someone's dark order. Not the blue, glorious symbols of freedom our's were.

After returning home, all three of us felt nervous.

"I swear, why is it that this always happens?! What is with us and bad guys arriving in this desert?!"

"Should we honestly just build a border?" Drew suggested. "Then we could keep track of who enters and who leaves.. It's gotten out of hand!"

I nodded. "Yes. We can track whoever comes in and out. Good idea."

Caesarius stroked his chin. "And we could neutralize them before they present a true threat. Excellent idea. If only we had that before he arrived."

I nodded. "You guys okay?"

"Oh! Just fucking peachy!" Drew sarcastically said. He then added, "Just saying.. choke fetish? Not my thing.."

"I think now I need a xanax. And a drink." Caesarius growled.

"Ah, we warned you."

I rolled my eyes. "Not now Apollo."

"For fucks sake.." Drew complained while pinching the bridge of his nose.

Apollo sighed. "I actually wanted to say that your empire is far better than his. At least you maintain order and liberty at the same time. Most Republic people here consider the Dilanian Empire a symbol of peace and a worthy nation, if only we didn't go to war a few months ago, then maybe we'd be allies now."

He turned to Drew. "You might want to get your neck checked out." Drew put on an annoyed expression and asked,

"For what? It's fine.."

"It's bruised. Just letting you know."

"I think I'm capable of knowing when I need medical attention.. Christ.." Drew started to walk away shaking his head. "Hate that guy.." He muttered. He noticed his neck starting to hurt the more he shook his head.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"What is it guys?" Kylie asked. Drew, myself and Caesarius returned to the house.

Kylie, Kovu, Adia, the cubs, C.G, and Mufasa were in the front yard.

Mufasa noticed Drew and Caesarius' unease, and spoke in concern. He cocked a brow and asked,

"What has you both so troubled?"

"An old friend who I never wanted to see again." Caesarius sighed.

"A guy who gets a hard on by choking people.." Drew added.

"Gross..." Simba grumbled, furrowing his nose in disgust. Drew smirked and looked at Simba.

"Don't worry, kid. I was just joking! He doesn't really get off on choking people.." He then stood there in silence for a few seconds. "God, I hope he doesn't.." Drew finished while cringing at the thought.

"We have new neighbors." I sighed.

"Who are they?" Kula innocently asked.

"The Cyrannic Empire." I replied. "Not the friendliest group. Their military is enormous by the looks of it. At least they're not like the Galactic Empire though. As far as we can tell."

"And they just now arrived?" Mufasa questioned. Drew nodded and replied,

"Yeah. Probably about an hour or so ago, if even that.." Mufasa nodded in acknowledgment of his answer.

"I just hope they aren't like those jerks that attacked Colossus!" Tama said. Adia sighed.

"I hope not too.. I hate seeing Daddy and everyone risk getting themselves killed.." She then added. "But it's almost always the case.."

Kovu nodded. "Maybe next year will be better?"

"Sounds like what I say every New Years Resolution!" Drew sarcastically commented. He then seriously added, "We can only hope.."

I turned to Drew. "I think we should be ready for any threat. We need to continue our expansion of the Fleet." Mufasa was about to comment, whenever Caesarius contacted me.

"Emperor?" He asked.

I turned on the communicator. "What is it?" Drew noticed this and sighed,

"Let me guess.. Someone else showed up?"

"Yes, it appears to be a human-like creature just as you are, but.." Caesarius paused.

"But what?" Drew questioned, him and I intently listening.

"He appears to be dressed as a bat!.." I widened my eyes at this. Drew cocked a brow.

"A bat?.." Drew questioned. "It just keeps getting weirder and weirder.."

I nodded. "Looks like we have to find this out." Drew nodded.

"I guess so.." He turned to everyone. "We'll be right back. We got us a 'bat' to deal with.. Mufasa, watch the cubs." Mufasa nodded and said,

"Will do."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Drew's POV

We can just never catch a fucking break can we? That's exactly why we need a border around our Empire.. Jack and I walked to where Caesarius explained where he spotted the bat, and sure enough, there he was!

He was surrounded by our men at gunpoint.

"Don't you move!" A soldier said. "You're gonna stay here until Emperor Jack gets here, then we'll find out where you stand!" The bat didn't respond, but took something out of his utility belt under the cloaking of his cape.

"OH SHI-" the soldier screamed, but was cut off as the bat threw down smoke pellets. Sounds of gunfire went off, but I noticed the bat use what looked like a grappling hook to escape atop a nearby tree. Me and Jack both looked on in shock.

"Did you just see that?.." I asked, still in awe.

Jack nodded, his mouth agape. Out of whatever bullets they had, the soldiers took out their combat knives and prepared for melee battle. The bat surprisingly glided down from the tree and kicked one of our men to the ground. They had the bat surrounded, but he was still determined.

"Wait!" Jack cried. The soldiers turned their attention to Jack, but that's exactly the slip up the bat was waiting for! He swept a soldier to the ground and then knocked another out with one punch. The soldiers were taken by surprise but moved forward to attack. One tried to stab the bat, but he deflected his arm and elbowed him in the head, knocking him unconscious. He then hopped on top of another one's shoulders and wrapped his legs around his neck. A soldier charged at the bat atop the man, but the bat then flipped him over, causing the soldier's legs to knock the charging one unconscious.

It raged on for another minute! He swiftly countered and avoided all their attacks and knocked them all unconscious with relative ease! He seemed to know quite a lot when it came to hand-to-hand combat! There were two left, and they wildly swung their knives at the bat. Seeing this coming, he dodged and grabbed both of their heads, smashing them together and knocking them out! There lay our soldiers, defeated.. And at the hands of this bat!

Jack was in the middle of raising his rifle, before he lowered it. "Who are you?!" The bat glanced at Jack, and briefly replied,

"I'm Batman.." He then walked a bit closer towards us. "Where am I!?" He demanded. "How did I get here!?" This Batman, then grabbed Jack by the shirt. "Are you with Hugo Strange!? With Lex Luthor!? Who is it!?" Drew then interjected,

"Woah! Batman, let him go! We're not working for anybody, alright!? Just let me explain.." Batman then let go of Jack.

"Make it quick. I want answers!" I did just as I did with everyone else who came here, though a bit quicker this time, as to not piss him off too much. "And that's basically it.. We currently haven't found a way to return outside of this 'Nexus'. All we know is we're stuck here.." Batman looked down as if in thought. He looked back up at me and Jack and replied,

"You say we're stuck here? Have you put all your best scientific minds together to find a solution?"

"Yes. Actually. We have. Nothing has worked." Jack replied. "We don't mean any harm. We're the good guys here." Batman sighed.

"Forgive me.. I was just being careful. Who are you?"

"I'm Drew King." I answered. "Captain of the INS Cobain of the Imperial Navy, and part of the Dilanian Empire." Batman rose a brow of interest.

"A commander of a military? Very notable.." He then looked at Jack. "I don't remember there being an 'Imperial Navy' back where I come from, or a 'Dilanian Empire'.. This Nexus must be interdimensional.."

Jack nodded. "As far as we can tell, yes. Though we've only discovered one other dimension in this Nexus, there may be more."

"Allow me to help." Batman said. "I have one of the greatest scientific minds there is, and can help each one of you return home.."

Jack nodded. "Thank you."

He paused, before continuing. "Come, let's get back to our capital. We will show you to your temporary quarters."

"I still didn't catch your name.." Batman said, still a little on guard.

"Jack. Anderson. Pleasure to meet you..." Batman merely nodded.

"Show me the way to your capital.." Batman said. He then seriously and grimly added, "But I'll still be keeping my eye on you.."

No POV

A clone looked out the viewport of his Captured Imperial Star destroyer as the last rebel ships had jumped into hyperspace...a storm of green and a few ionized blue shots following them...courtesy of the 2 Imperial Star Destroyers and 4 Arquitens Cruisers that had just arrived, Rexy then looked as the ships of his fleet began to be shot at...their heavily modified shields having no problem at all to deal with the fire as he then turned on a holo com...the images of various clones, A few B1s,BX Commandos, Tactical and a Super Tactical droid appeared as he ordered,

"All ships! Our work is done here! Prepare to make the jump on my mark! 3...2...1... ALL SHIPS JUMP!" Rexy ordered.

Suddenly just as all the ships on fleet prepared to jump...a large Black Hole formed in front of the fleet as Rexy's eyes widened as the communications channels bursted in panicked chatter as he said

"What is that?! Analysis report!"

The super Tactical Droid hologram looked at the other droid holograms as he said,

"General...according to our calculations... it seems to be a interdimensional portal..."

Rexy's eyes widened as he ordered the jumps to be cancelled but it was too late...the fleet was being accompanied by lots of CR90 Corvettes and even more Consular class-light cruisers...not to mention the 20 or so Arquitens that were the main ships of the escort fleet...when all these small ships made the jump...they were sucked into the portal...Further intensifying it as it somehow began to suck the ex Separatist and larger Republic Aclammators and Victories, and the venators in...Rexy just watched in shock as he nodded to the crew and looked at the portal. "May the force be with us..."

With that said...the captured Imperial Star Destroyer jumped to hyperspace and into the Black Hole and joined its fleet as the portal closed behind them...then soon later the large amount of ships was out of hyperspace...above of a vast desert that looked quite similar to the one on Tatooine...as Rexy looked at the holograms they all asked the same question...

"General...where are we?"

Rexy didn't hesitate to immediately command his men….giving out orders as the fleet quickly regrouped itself and organized itself.

"Contact the rest of the fleet! Tell them to regroup in this location!"

Another clone trooper just nodded as a large Mandator 2 and 2 very old looking Mandator 1s arrived followed by various Republic and Separatist ship types the fleet being organized in a Defensive formation...as to let others know that they were not a threat, suddenly Rexy noticed that weirdly painted versions of Imperial 1st class Star Destroyers were closing in...as he immediately ordered, "They are here too! All ships! Defensive positions! MAN YOUR BATTLE STATIONS! MAN YOUR BATTLE STATIONS! DO NOT! I REPEAT DO NOT FIRE UNLESS FIRED UPON!"

The blue-painted Star Destroyer moved towards the fleet, before stopping.

"This is Captain King of the INS Cobain! Who the fuck are you? State yourselves!" Drew said, protectively of the Empire. With what has happened as of late, he didn't like the sight of these newcomers, nor their ship.

About 25 or so holograms began to appear in the holoprojector...of which about half where droids and the other half seemed to be men all of the same size and exact width...looking at them...they all seemed to have various types of armors and mixes..some resembled the stormtrooper armor...others looked like if they were derived from the Stormtrooper armor Drew had seen in the battles.

Seems they were discussing..as one of the bulkier looking droids said to a trooper who seemed to be the leader "According to our calculations...their designation does not fits with any unit in the Imperial Navy we are against….the probability of this being a different faction is one of 97.56 percent"

The leader trooper then looked at Drews hologram as he said "My designation is CT-6769 but im named Rexy….General in the Grand Army of the Republic and these are my men and droid friends...Allies of the Rebellion...and the bravest men and droids in my faction….nicknamed "The Good Clankers and Traitors" and I would like to know who's your government's leader! From what I suspect! You are allied with the Galactic Empire! You got their ships!" Drew sat there with his eyes widened.

"Um.. Okay, I can sense that there was a lot of numbers and math in some of what you just said, but I can assure you we're not allied with the Galactic Empire! We actually just fought those bastards not too long ago! Our Empire wants them gone, not to get stronger.." Drew replied.

The holograms looked at each other...as one of those bulky droids got up...as it looked at the droid who had spoken earlier...who seemed to be even more advanced "According to my sensors and calculations they are a 99.99 percent true…."

The more advanced droid would look at a very skinny droid who looked at the trooper as the skinny droid said "Rexy….STD-5634 and me...B1-268 calculate that according to the info provided by TD-24 we should get in contact with the other members of this new government.

Jack's POV

I walked alongside Princess Leia and those who had rescued her as well as Anakin.

"So you're SERIOUS?!"

I chuckled. It turns out Anakin had a son and daughter.

The Armor-clad figure's uncharacteristically high pitched(well, as high as his voice could go in that suit) voice was comical.

"Yes." Obi-Wan said, smiling slightly.

Anakin sighed. "You know Obi-Wan, I could have REALLY used that information when I was in that Vader phase."

Obi-Wan groaned. "Vader PHASE?!"

I rolled my eyes. "Anyway! Princess, who are these people? Can we trust them?"

Leia nodded. "Yes. They've helped us out on numerous occasions."

Finally, we reached the meeting room. Drew and Carandial led a trooper who seemed to be the famous Rexy Leia had told us about, a Bulky looking droid along with another trooper while Rexy's other higher ups waited outside.

President Kennedy and Apollo joined us, as well as, to everyone else's surprise, Potentate Aeresius of the Cyrannic Empire.

I nodded diplomatically.

"Welcome honored representatives of the Rebel Alliance, Cyrannic Empire, and Grand Army of the Republic." Apollo began. "We have come here today to discuss the ongoing conflict against the Galactic Empire and the possibility of the Cyrannic Empire entering the war-"

Aeresisus interjected. "Do not think that we enter your conflict out of the goodness of our hearts. We simply do not wish to face an invasion by another power should you all fail." Drew rolled his eyes.

"Oh here we go.. Apollo number 2 over here.." He commented.

Both Apollo and Aeresius blinked. "As I was saying..." Apollo said. "We are here to discuss the possibility of a coalition against the Galactic Empire, the subsequent dismantling of it, and the restoration of the Galactic Republic to power there."

Rexy and the other trooper took off their helmets...only to reveal they shared the same face.

I blinked in surprise. "Clones?" I asked.

Rexy smiled as he said "Yes we are clones...Born and trained since Birth to fight and die for the Republic. Well, once we were. Anyways, my faction has helped the Rebels for a long time now. But unfortunately, the clandestine shipments of Kuat Drive Yards and Rothana Heavy Engineering aren't enough if I wish to expand my operations. I request the permission and access to your Government's factories. I can give you all the designs and tech I possess, in exchange of the permission to produce them in your factories. Also, after the disbanding of the clone army, The Kaminoan's economy has dropped drastically, and they asked me to offer you all their clone army services, and trust me: we are the best there is. The Kaminoans are experts at making troopers. They have made a Serum that once the trooper reaches adulthood, his growth rate is slowed down drastically, further increasing the survivability of the troops. STD-546 will point out a few potential allies as well."

"According to my calculations. We recently located 3 expert clones that also ignored protocol 66. And a Super Tactical droid who knows alot about the location of the remnants and main factories of the droid army….thanks to a rebel cell near Lothal. But we also found someone who General Rexy and I calculate that Anakin and Obi-Wan will remember very well."

Anakin nodded. "He's still alive? And what about Ahsoka?"

Aeresius stroked his chin. "This is all very interesting, but do any of you actually know what it takes to win a war? Apollo obviously didn't, and judging by your words, none of you do either." Drew then looked agitated and yelled,

"Listen here, asshole! We've had our fair share of conflicts around here, and we've even kept the Galactic Empire at bay! We know how to fight, and we certainly know how to win a war!"

Aeresius just smirked. "You would do well to not provoke us, boy. Perhaps we will ally with the Galactic Empire should you treat us with disrespect." Drew had a smirk of his own.

"What're you gonna do? Choke me? Wouldn't be the first time.. And I think it would be very unwise to do that when we have Kratos on our side.."

Aeresius scowled. "Your arrogance is your weakness. If we wanted war with you, we wouldn't need a ground battle."

"Enough!" Apollo interjected. "We're here as allies, Potentate! And you'd be very wrong if you think we're defenseless. With people like Captain King and Caesarius on our side, we're more then capable of defeating your Empire!" Drew looked at Apollo with slight shock, but said nothing.. He was actually taking his side for once.

Rexy and the other clone looked at him as Rexy nodded at the droid...as it showed a holovid of a clone trooper squad and a few droids along with a droideika dealing with hordes of stormtroopers while civilians where boarding in a shuttle as a clone said,

"Hawker, come in."

The clone in the vid leading the squad shook his head as he said "Get those people out of here! We will delay the enemy!"

As the vid continued it showed each clone die one by one as eventually...only Hawker and the droideika remained and eventually..they fell along too as Rexy said "They were my friends….and I'd like to see you single handedly do what they did…"

Kennedy nodded. "The point is we all don't want the Galactic Empire here. I propose that we join this alliance, for the good of us all."

"The Rebellion will accept this alliance." Princess Leia declared.

Aeresius stopped for a few moments, before nodding. "Very well, we'll join this alliance, though the Cyrannic Empire will fight under its own leaders. We'll coordinate, but not follow your orders."

Rexy looked at Jack as he asked "So do you accept my offer for tech in exchange of access to your production lines?"

I nodded. "We will give you industrial support, and allow the restoration of the Galactic Republic."

I turned to everyone. "Welcome to the Grand Alliance."

Dinolion92: We hope you enjoyed this chapter! It was a fun one to write! Also, welcome TheAcePilotKing! He helped us write this scene and will be a co writer for this project!

ThatAcePilotKing: Hello everyone! For those to whom my ocs Rexy seems familiar you know me as Blackie the Umbreon and B1-268 the good clanker. But yes! I now have officially joined on this amazing project of a fic! And I'm very glad to be here!

Dinolion92: Yes, I would like to say that if anyone else wants to join this project, let me know, and we'll try to make it work! That said, this is only the beginning. We hope you enjoy where the story goes from this point on.
