Chapter eleven is here! Last time we saw the group got themselves in a lot of trouble. First, they found Padme and Haruo. However, they ran into some trouble.
Secondly, that trouble was in the form of monsters that tried to kill them all! How will things go for our heroes today? Will they make it out alive or be eaten? Tune in today to find out!
Also, thanks to everyone for the support from the last chapter. Also, I saw the Godzilla trailer and I am so pumped up! I am looking forward to the movie and it gave me so much ideas. So many awesome ideas to use for the future, but for now let's go on to the disclaimer.
All right, it is time for the disclaimer. I don't own anything from Godzilla or from the Star Wars universe. I only own my OCs and thanks to theXman99 for his help I appreciate it. Also check out his stories they are a lot of fun to read. Now let the story begin!
Chapter XI
Heiwa (14 years ago)
An older looking man around his 60s is seen in a laboratory. He has short white hair, blue eyes, and tan skin. Next to him is another man around his 40s with short black hair, green eyes, and light tan skin. The two are seen wearing white lab coats, gloves, and a mask over their mouth along with their nose.
They appear to be near a container, which has two holes inside to put their hands in. Their hands are inside the hole where it leads to two gloves. Both men are using these gloves to keep from contaminating what they are cleaning inside. It was covered in foam and is seen being sprayed on by water.
The door to the lab opened up and a woman around her 40s entered the room. She has short black hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. She also appears to be wearing the same outfit and mask as the two men are. While in her hand she has a tablet, which she is using to write down her report.
She walks over to the men and sets the tablet down before she speaks to the men in a foreign accent. "How is the recovery going?"
"It's going," said the older man before he turns to the younger man next to him. "Hiroshi, help show Ayumi what we found."
The younger man now revealed to be Hiroshi pulls out of the container and goes to help Ayumi. He turns on his computer and shows her the information they got from their last dig. "What do you see here?"
Ayumi looks at the information carefully and gathers what they found. She then stares at the information completely shocked before turning to Hiroshi. "Could you both have gotten this wrong?"
Hiroshi shook his head looking as concerned as she is. "Hopefully this will convince the emperor to help stop with the digging. If he doesn't listen then our world is in danger."
The older man turns to the others while his hands remain in the container. "The emperor is a fool. He won't listen to us as long as he continues to listen to his advisor, who I believe is working for the Republic."
"Father, you don't know that," said Ayumi as she replied to the older man who is revealed to be her dad. "I'm sure if we explain this to them they will understand why we need to stop."
The older man shook his head as he finished cleaning what is in the container. "For the sake of our world I hope you are right," he looks inside as inside the container there appears to be a large egg. "If we are not careful these things will send us back to the stone age."
(End of Flashback)
"Is everyone all right?" called out Obi Wan to the others as he uses his lightsaber to light up the tunnel.
Loud coughing and groaning noises can be heard giving him his answer. Soon Ahsoka activated her lightsabers giving them some more light. Next to her is Padme, Haruo, and Shinji. While across from them is Boba Fett, Cade Bane, Bossk, and Embo's pet Marrok.
The two Jedi look around to find themselves to be trapped as the entrance they came in from is blocked. Shinji walks over and gets out a flare. He lights it up and sees the tunnel to his left is blocked off by debris. But the tunnel in front of them is all cleared.
"Looks like we're in the old subway tunnels," said Shinji as he turns to the others. "These used to go all around the city. There were different ones that used to lead people to where they needed to go."
"Where does this one lead?" Padme asked as she looks down the path where the tunnel leads.
Shinji looks over at the train nearby. It appeared to have some dents and cracked windows. Other than that it appears to be in working condition. He paid more though attention to the color on the side of the train as he wipes some dirt off of it.
"This one leads to the Heiwa laboratories near the center of the city," Shinji replied as he turns to the others. "Each one of these colors tells us where they are designed to go to."
"I don't suppose the labs have a way to contact our ride?" Obi Wan asked as his com-link is not working along with Ahsoka's.
Suddenly Cad Bane grabs Padme from behind and aims his blaster at her head. "Then you will take us there to get us out of here!"
The Jedi aim their weapons at the bounty hunters as Bossk took out his blaster and aims it at the Jedi. Boba on the other hand stood to the side watching all of this. Haruo took out his blaster and aims it at the bounty hunters. All while Shinji stood nearby.
"Bane, let her go!" Ahsoka demanded.
"You are in no position to be giving any orders," said Bane as he keep his master aimed at Padme's head. "Now, lower your weapons Jedi or else she dies."
"We are stuck on a planet full of monsters and you want to try this Bane?" Obi Wan asked knowing this isn't a wise idea. "Not a smart plan, especially how you need us to get off of this world."
Bane scoffed at what the Jedi said. "All I needed to hear is there is a way to contact your ship from where this train leads. Once we have your ship we will leave and hand the senator to the Separatist."
"I'd do as he says," said Bossk as he keeps his weapon aimed at the Jedi, while hissing. "We will not hesitate to kill any of you."
Shinji turns to Boba who again seems to remain neutral. "And what do you say? You agree with them?" he motioned to the other bounty hunters. "Or, you have something else to say?"
Boba turns to Shinji and then to the bounty hunters before going back to Shinji. "I take it you know more about this planet than the Jedi?"
Shinji nods in response. "I know even know how to work the train and how to get to the laboratory," he then turns towards Bane. "Which by the way I am sure you won't be able to get in. Before leaving this planet the scientist all put the lab under lockdown. I doubt any of the creatures would go to the labs and if you guys try going without the codes…well looks like the monsters will have a nice meal."
Bane turns to the human and growls a little in anger before turning to the Jedi. "Then you will be our guide. But as soon as the Jedi lower their weapons."
Shinji though steps between the Jedi and bounty hunters with an intense expression. "You are in no position to give any demands. You either put the gun down or you and your friend are going to die."
Bane began laughing as Bossk aims his weapon at Shinji. "Yeah? And how do you plan to do…
Suddenly Shinji throws his knife at Bossk's shoulder causing him to scream in pain. Haruo whistles loudly and Marrok rushes over to bite Bane's leg causing him to scream. Padme drives her elbow into Bane's gut and then flips him over her. Bossk goes to shoot Shinji when Boba opened fire taking out his blaster.
Obi Wan used the Force Push to send Bossk into the wall before rushing over and aims his weapon near his neck. "I think that's how he planned to stop you."
Haruo whistles again as Marrok frees Bane and rushes over to him. Ahsoka aims her weapon at Bane's neck causing him to not resist.
Shinji walks over and helps Bane up before cuffing him. "Nice moves, senator," he complimented Padme.
Padme nods in response. "Just wish we didn't have to do this since we all have the same goal in mind."
Shinji goes over to his brother and pats his shoulder. "You tamed the bounty hunter's pet?"
Haruo chuckles softly a she pets Marrok. "Well, let's just say when I saved him and his former master that he began liking me," he then turns towards Boba and gives him a small nod. "Thank you for the help."
Boba puts his blaster away and shook his head. "I only did that because you are right. Right now we need to work together in order to stay alive."
Shinji nods in agreement before turning to the Jedi who have their two prisoners. "Let's get this train going. I just hope the captain and the clones are all right."
"I'm sure they are," said Captain Katsumoto as he appears from the tunnel with his sword in hand. "We did train them to be ready for anything."
"W-where have you been?" Ahsoka asked surprised to see the captain here. "I thought you were with your men since we didn't see you around here."
"You were all unconscious so I went to go ahead to see what we have to deal with," said Captain Katsumoto as he climbs back up on the platform. "I ran into some trouble in the tunnels, but I took care of them."
Obi Wan noticed the blood on the captain and on his sword. "I assume from any more monsters that reside here?"
"Not anymore," said Captain Katsumoto as he turns to the bounty hunters. "And next time any of you try anything I will take your heads," he said before turning to Shinji. "We should get this moving before what we encountered outside comes to find us."
Meanwhile
"Soldiers, sound off!" shouted Keisuke to his team as he and the soldiers all began recovering after making their way into a nearby tunnel.
"Present!" shouted all three Heiwa soldiers as they begin to recover.
Captain Rex got up from the ground and begins joining the other Clones. "Cody, all of us accounted for?"
Cody has his helmet off and shook his head. "Trapper got hit in the head during the escape. Looks like he'll be out of it for a while."
Toshiro heard of one of the injured Clones and goes over to check on him. He takes out a device from his bag and begins scanning the Clone's head. "Well, the good news is he doesn't appear to have any fractures. But, it looks like he might have suffered a concussion and a broken leg. You'll need to carry him."
"Copy that," said Cody as he turns to Fives and Crys. "You two make a stretcher for him. Meanwhile, we should try contacting the others to see if they are all right."
"Don't bother," said Keisuke as he approached the Clones. "There's some sort of interference," he shows the Clones by turning on his radio and all they heard is static. "The tunnels must be blocking our frequency. We'll need to get out and see if the others made it out too."
"Don't suppose we can contact our ride to see if she's all right," said Rex hoping whatever attacked them didn't get their only escape off this planet.
"Kairi is probably aware of what happened and took off somewhere safe," said Okada as he checks on his mini-gun. "Once we get out we'll send a message to her to get us out."
"In the meantime…" Arcee took grabs her rifle and turns to Keisuke. "It looks like you are in charge. At least until we find the captain."
Keisuke knows this to be true. In the event of anything happens to Captain Katsumoto or to Kairi then he is next in command. He looks over the tunnel, but sees no light. He looks at the nearby train, which was destroyed.
He finds the color on it and sighed. "This leads to one of medical facilities near the research lab. Unfortunately the train is too damaged so we'll have to walk on foot."
"How long will it take us to get there?" Fives asked as he helps Crys put Trapper on the stretcher.
"30 minutes," said Toshiro as he gives the Clone some medicine. "45 if we have to take breaks so you don't have to carry him so long."
Keisuke knew it is risky going into the tunnels since they don't know what is inside. However, they don't have much of a choice. He is sure Captain Katsumoto will be waiting for them. So, they need to take the risk.
He looks over and spots a nearby metallic sign on the floor. He looks back over at the train rails and remembered something. "Arcee, how do the trains here work?"
Arcee turns to Keisuke looking confused at his question, but didn't stop her from replying. "They use magnets to help lift the trains off the rails and then use electricity to help them run. Bad news for us is with the train busted we can't activate the electricity."
Fives got an idea of where Arcee is going with this and throws a metal pipe on the rail showing the magnet appears to still be active. "Nice idea, but won't the magnets lock on to our weapons?"
Keisuke walks over and stands on the railway as he activates his boots so he can connect to the train. "I'm sure you Clones can manage to figure out how to get across," he replied before his team begin using their boots to also connect to the rail.
They begin dragging the injured Clone into the tunnel while the other Clones all begin following them. While keeping their weapons up and away from the tracks.
"Well, this can't get any worse I bet," said Rex as they hear a loud roar echoing behind the team behind the debris.
The team all aim their weapons at the direction of the sound and look at each other. "Maybe we should make sure whatever that was won't follow us."
"Agreed," said Keisuke as he moves his rifle up and fires a missile at the ceiling. Causing debris to fall down and block the hole. "Now, there's no going back and no way for whatever that thing is to follow us."
Cody sighed as he turns to Rex. "You want to keep pushing our luck?"
Rex shrugs it off and puts his helmet on. "Let's just keep moving and hope we find the exit soon."
Meanwhile
Shinji managed to activate the train, which thankfully still works. They also managed to get the power since the city never lost power. It was shut down during the evacuation, but it can be reactivated in any part of the city. If one knows how to do it.
Luckily for Shinji he remembers his father telling how to do it. Once he got the power on he got the others onboard and they took off. He had to keep the acceleration to a slow pace. Mostly to prevent anything from appearing out of nowhere and have enough time to stop.
The Jedi brought the criminals onboard and kept them cuffed. Taking their weapons away and made sure to check them. Shinji had them destroyed since he didn't trust them to have their weapons around. Haruo is sitting in his seat near Ahsoka, while Obi Wan speaks with Captain Katsumoto about the prisoners.
"So…" Haru began to speak with Ahsoka. "I want to say thanks again for coming to save us. I appreciate it."
Ahsoka smiles a little to Haruo and nods in response. "Well, I'm just glad that the emperor allowed me to come along. Still, I appreciate what you did keeping her safe."
Haruo began chuckling a little as he rubs the back of his head. "Well, she helped save my life and I helped saved her life. So, we both helped keep the other safe from harm. I'm just glad help did come since I knew the emperor wouldn't risk any life for me."
"You don't know that," said Ahsoka who tried to cheer her friend up.
Haruo shook his head. "It's okay. I know the emperor and his family well enough to know one life isn't work thousands. I'm used to it though. But just glad…" he moved his hand on her hand. "I have a friend who cared enough to come save my life."
Ahsoka smiles a little and noticed his hand on her own. She didn't mind this though since she figured it was fine. "Well, we are friends after all and I figure you would do the same thing. Good thing for you though is I came along and not my master. He would risk his life to save the senator than yours."
Haruo chuckled softly, but could tell she is serious as his laughter was set aside. He turns to the senator who is sitting in her seat resting up. He was surprised to find how different she was from other senators. She was not scared to fight, not intimidated by the criminals, and knew how to hold her own.
"She is something else," said Haruo before turning to where his brother is at. "And so is my brother…just wish he didn't get locked up."
Ahsoka turns to Haruo and felt bad that his brother was locked up for his crime. "Well, at least he is here and came to save you. Another person who cares about you."
Haruo turns to his friend and nods in response. "I guess so."
Obi Wan and Captain Katsumoto walk past the teenagers before going to where Shinji is driving the train. "Can I help you two?" Shinji asked while he kept his eyes on the railway.
"How's it going so far?" Obi Wan asked hoping they don't run into any monsters.
"So far so good," said Shinji as he didn't move his eyes off the path. "Keeping it at a good speed enough for us to slow down if anything happens. As long as we don't run into anything."
"Well, Captain Katsumoto did take out the creatures that were in here," said Obi Wan who feels they don't have much to worry about.
"Only the ones I found," said Captain Katsumoto as he sees some holes in the tunnels. "But it doesn't mean more of them won't try making their way in here."
Obi Wan looked at the size of the tunnels and is hoping they are wrong. "When these creatures emerged from underground how many of them were there?"
"Well, the first ones to emerge were smaller creatures that the military was able to hold its own on. However, soon the bigger ones began coming out and the military got overwhelmed," Shinji replied recalling the events of what happened years ago. "Our weapons were useless against the bigger monsters and we couldn't defeat them. That was until some of the bigger ones began protecting us."
"Like Gojira," Captain Katsumoto replied.
Obi Wan turns to the captain and remembered what he was told about this creature. "You told me before it was some sort of guardian of this world. The one to help keep the balance of this world."
Captain Katsumoto nods in response. "There is a story that our people once told about Gojira. How there used to be many like it long ago when our world was forming. How its kind used to battle against so many powerful monsters that tried to become the dominant force. And how one species nearly drove its kind to extinction."
"Really?" Obi Wan asked figuring that is how nature works. "I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. When there is on dominant species there is another trying to push off the food chain. Whatever happened to this other species?"
"They were wipe out, except for one," Captain Katsumoto continued. "It is prophesied that it will return one day to unleash a war that would end the galaxy. Unless Gojira returns to stop it and save the galaxy."
"What is the name of this other creature?" Obi Wan asked curious on the name of what this creature is.
Captain Katsumoto was about to say its name when he felt something is wrong. Obi Wan and soon Ahsoka felt this as well as they got their hands on their weapons. Suddenly a large ant monster appeared and lets out a loud roar. It pushes the train off the rail causing it to stop. The monster soon brought its mandibles to bite down on the train.
Trying to bite through it as Ahsoka ignites her lightsabers. Haruo, Padme, and Boba took out their blasters then opened fire. The blasters bounced off the creature as it bit off the roof of the train. Ahsoka leaps on its head and brigs down her lightsaber right through its head. The ant monster roars in pain before it falls down on the ground and lays there dead with its legs twitching a little.
The others soon leave the train as they see it's too damaged to get it back on the train. "Well, looks like we're going on foot," said Shinji as he grabs his things. "Still, this is not a good sign if something like this is here."
"If there is one of them then…" Obi Wan didn't need to finish his sentence as he hears what sounds like movement coming behind them. "Then I suggest we run before they catch up."
The Jedi, Captain Katsumoto, Haruo, Shinji, Marrok, and the bounty hunters all took off as they head down the train tracks. Doing their best to not fall between the rails. Haruo looks back to see more of the ant creatures catching up to them. Bane, Bossk, and Boba saw a nearby hole and jump into it.
Ahsoka tries to stop them, but Shinji stops her. "Forget about it! Just run!"
Ahsoka didn't want to let the bounty hunters escape, but they didn't have much of a choice. The monsters are catching up to them and they were outnumbered. They kept on running, but Ahsoka and Obi Wan knew they wouldn't get far. Captain Katsumoto spots a ladder nearby and motions for the group to head on up.
Padme goes up first followed by Haruo and then Ahsoka. Captain Katsumoto took out a grenade and throws it to the wall to damage it. However, one of the ant monsters spits out acid at it causing it to explode in mid-air. This sends the captain flying to the ground as Shinji and Obi Wan go to grab him. Boba took out his blaster and opens fire to help, but he knew they were good as dead.
"Shinji!" Haruo shouted as he sees his brother about to be devoured.
Suddenly the ant monsters just stopped. Obi Wan, Shinji, and Captain Katsumoto look up to see the ant monsters are not moving. The others noticed this too and begin climbing down wondering what is going on. Shinji moves his hand over to their eyes wondering what caused them to stop.
"Look! Their antennas," Padme pointed out showing all the ants have their antennas standing up as if they detect something.
"What is going on?" Haruo asked wondering why the ants stopped.
"What is going on is I saved your lives," the group turn around to see a hooded figure coming towards them with an ant-monster next to him. "Hello boys, it's good to see you again."
Shinji and Haruo look at each other confused at what the older man said. Unsure who he is and how he knows them.
"Do we know you?" Shinji asked.
The older man chuckled softly before he replied. "Not surprised since it has been 13 years since I last saw you both…" the older man removes his hood revealing who he is. He appears to be in his 70s, has long white hair, blue eyes, tan skin, and wearing torn clothing. "But seeing you back brings so much joy to my heart."
Haruo quickly recognized the old man and begins smiling. "Grandpa? You're alive?"
Shinji on the other hand looked both confused and happy at the same time. "Well, I'll be damned. Good to see you are alive old man," he then turns to the others who seem confused. "Everyone, this is Kensuke Yamagata. Our grandfather and the former head scientist of Heiwa."
Looks like no one is dead…yet. Still, glad the chapter went well and I apologize for taking a while to get this out. Didn't want to make this a long chapter, but also wanted to bring in some new characters or character in this case to the story. The group now have someone to help them out, but let's see how the Clones and Heiwa soldiers do next time.
With the grandfather on the side of the group will they be able to get off this planet alive? What will they find when they are with him? How is he able to control the ant monsters? And will we see some more familiar monsters appear?
Tune in next time to find out. Also thanks to everyone for the support of the story. I appreciate it guys and glad this is going well. Also thanks for the reviews I enjoy reading them a lot.
