Drew's POV

I stepped off of the ship and back on New Edenian soil. However, right away everyone that saw me immediately saw: I was not happy.. No, not one bit..

This whole fucking situation baffles me beyond belief! Just yesterday, Jack wishes ill intent on us and had all of these demands, and now today he's acting all nice and just drops everything!? What the actual fuck!

I wasn't complaining of course, but just what the hell.. Needless to say, I was suspicious as can be. There has to be a bigger, unseen reason why he's doing this, right?

I opened the front door to my house and was immediately greeted by my family, Kenzi, Adia, Jade.

"Dad, you're back!" Adia excitedly said. I grinned slightly. I could remember when she was just a cub, and now look at her! She's a full grown lioness! Time fucking flies.. I hugged Adia.

"Hey, Adia.." I said back. "You been keeping Kenzi in line while I was gone?" I joked with a smirk. Kenzi lightly punched me in the arm with a smirk of her own.

"Oh shut up." Kenzi pulled me in for a hug as well. Jade now walked up to me and said,

"Hello, beloved.." We both gave each other a quick kiss. "How did things go down there? Pretty smooth? Or were there complications?" I sighed and shook my head.

"I just don't understand the son of a bitch, guys.." I looked at them all and continued. "I mean, just yesterday he was riding our ass with all these demands and he spat at us like we were nothing.. Now all of a sudden, he's apparently dropping all the demands and is acting all good and kind to us!" All three of them cocked a brow.

"Why would he do that?" Kenzi asked in confusion. I shrugged with a defeated chuckle and replied,

"That's the thing, Kenzi.. I have no fucking idea." I shook my head once more. "And now C.G. is over there with the kids.." The three of them gasped.

"What!?" Kenzi asked in shock.

"I didn't know about that.." Jade said.

"Me neither." Adia added.

"Yeah, I know. I'm sorry you guys.." I apologized. "I forgot to tell you. There's just been way too much shit on my plate lately.. I'll be sure and let you all know when something happens. It's not easy being screwed up in the mind and doing something stupid, then try and make up for it.. People see what you did in the past instead of what you're trying to do in the present.." I shook my head.

"It's so stressful.." I finished with evident exhaustion. Jade walked closer to me and said,

"I know how you feel.. Kitana once said the same to me. Her role as Princess of Edenia was no simple task.. Queen Sindel probably had it worse than her.. Hell, even my role as protector of Edenia wasn't always easy. Being in a position of power, especially one where you're in control and leadership of an entire nation, it just starts to get to you after awhile." I nodded my head. Amen to that..

"But.." Jade continued. "If you make all the right decisions, and if you make sure your people and your nation are taken care of, then you've already succeeded." She shook her head and finished, "It matters not what all you did in the past as people seem to believe.. For your actions in the present, is all that matters.."

I looked up a bit. She was right! No matter how stressful things get, I'm still gonna make sure all of my people are protected and taken care of no matter what! That even goes for C.G. and the kids! If shit happens again down there, and they're unsafe, I'll personally fly down there myself to make sure they're alright and taken care of.

"You're right, Jade.." I replied with a slight grin. "It's time for change.. And with God as my witness, I'm gonna give it to 'em! New Edenia from this point forward, will be a nation of prosperity, with a King that actually makes sensible decisions for his peoples' sake rather than his own.." I smiled seductively at Jade and added, "And pretty soon a Queen as well.."

Jade gave a seductive smile of her own in return. I couldn't wait until our wedding ceremony! It wasn't too far away actually; just a week away!

Anyways, I'm just gonna decide to not push this C.G. issue any further. I didn't wanna escalate any conflict.. Did I trust Jack? Hell no! Would I work with Jack in the future to maintain peace? Yes. Will I be keeping an eye on him? You bet your ass I am!

For now, though, I just wanted to get some rest and spend some time with my family. You don't get much of this do you?.. I'm just gonna enjoy every last moment of it..That is, until more inevitable bullshit happens..

Jack's POV

I walked into my room. However, I had forgotten about the simple fact that I now shared it with someone else.

C.G had been changing, and immediately covered up in surprise as the door opened.

I stopped, and said nervously. "Sorry."

She grinned a bit. "For what? It's nothing you haven't seen before."

I rolled my eyes. "You're right."

I then walked over, and kissed her. "I'm so glad you're back."

She smiled. "As am I."

After changing into my pajamas, I laid down on the bed. C.G leaned on my shoulder.

I smiled a bit. This was one of the things I missed most when I had left. I just loved these moments.

"I love you." I said.

"I love you too." She replied.

She shifted slightly, and looked at me.

"You know, we haven't celebrated..."

I blinked, before grinning…

Drew's POV

I was sitting down in my living room in a recliner chair I thought was pretty cool.. King or not, I didn't care much for the big, fancy living arrangements or anything.. I was more of a simple man.

I didn't have a whole lot growing up, and I was poor for most of my childhood. So if there's one thing I wasn't, it was greedy.. I know what it was like to live in poverty.. It fucking sucked!

That's actually what I'm currently trying to work on for New Edenia next. The replicator that we got ahold of was fucking up for whatever goddamn reason, so we didn't have enough time to build enough homes for all of our citizens.. So now we were gonna have to build everything manually and by hand for awhile.. Those unfortunate enough to be among the homeless, were living in a horrible state of poverty.. I'll be damned if I allow Jack and his bullshit to distract me from the more important things at hand!

It was time to take care of my citizens.. I would definitely have a busy time ahead of me! Then all of a sudden, the silence was broken by someone outside.

"Drew?"

It sounded like Caesarius, and he didn't sound very happy. I sighed. Of course he didn't.. What could it possibly be now!? I got up out of my chair and opened the front door, confirming it to be Caesarius.

"What's up, Caesarius? Everything okay?" I asked with a cocked brow. I don't even know why I bothered to ask. It clearly wasn't..

"We have a problem." The Libertus officer sighed. "Some of our northern cities, like New Orbispira are seeing protests by groups that want what used to be Dilania to secede and join their Emperor in his new territory." I perked up in anger almost immediately.

"For what!?" I questioned in annoyance. "I have done nothing except what I was supposed to! What the fuck!"

Caesarius nodded. "They're nationalists by the looks of it. They want to join Jack en masse, though it seems they're a small, but still significant minority." I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose.

"Jesus Christ.." I muttered. "When will it ever end?.. When I'm dead?"

Caesarius sighed. "As I said before, perhaps we should make it clear to his 'majesty' that he was allowed peace only because we allowed it? To make it clear to him that any attempt to sow chaos in our territory will be met with appropriate force?"

"They're free to leave at anytime they want. That was part of the deal.." I said. "But that gives Jack no right to take New Edenia's land! We're still currently the biggest superpower in Chimaera! I won't start any bullshit with our military like he would, but I will make it clear to him that he's out of line!" I then finished. "I almost guarantee you he's the one behind this! Can I prove it? No. Do I have my suspicions? Yes, and for good reason!"

Caesarius nodded. "The bastard will pay if he tries this bullshit again. Hell, he should pay now."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Jack!" I called out over the communicator screen used for speaking with officials from other nations. It was time to resolve this issue..

To my surprise, Apollo and Kennedy appeared on the other end, instead of Jack. "What is it Drew?" Kennedy asked. He seemed to have no legitimate idea why I was calling. He was clearly confused, though Apollo looked more angry at my call.

"Yes, what is your accusation today?" He asked. I gave an evidently annoyed expression and sarcastically stated,

"Calm down, Smartass.. Sarcasm is my thing. I just wanted to speak with Jack. It's about something pretty major.."

"And what is that?"

Jack walked into view. He seemed annoyed as well. "What is the big deal? All of us are just trying to rebuild out here. Why this sudden call, especially after I gave you peace on a silver platter?" I rolled my eyes and muttered,

"Yes, I'm sure you are trying to rebuild…" I then turned back to him and said aloud, "I'd rather talk about this in person. No military, nobody else with you or me. Just a one on one, man to man conversation.."

Jack blinked. "Why? Surely whatever issue can be solved by a discussion on here. I have more important things to do at this point." I said a bit louder, getting more annoyed,

"I do too!" I stood up and pointed outside. "I have citizens down here living in poverty! I know what that's like. I've told you that before! Believe me, I'd much rather be dealing with that than this! And no, this can't simply be resolved over this screen.. If you show any sort of respect whatsoever, you'd allow me to meet you face to face!"

Jack sighed. "Fine. Meet me at these coordinates, no tricks, which seems to run in your family at this point." I narrowed my eyes, but didn't say anything. Instead I disconnected and got the coordinates.

It was time to deal with this shit once and for all!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Alright, what?" Jack asked as we met in a small canyon a little ways north of New Orbispira. I didn't respond right away, instead dropping my rifle on the ground and kicking it away from me.

"Just so we're on the same page.." I said, my expression still evidently upset. I did this to show that no aggression or tricks were going to take place.

Jack looked at me for a minute, before throwing his lightsaber to the side. "Alright, I get it. Now, what is the big fucking deal?"

"Shut it.." I coldly cut him off. "What was all that yesterday? Why the sudden change of heart? What are you trying to pull anyways?.."

"I got a wake up call. I was sick of all this bullshit and just wanted to move on. But now I worry that you don't want to, and that Dilania and New Edenia will always be at each other's throats?"

"I want peace! That's all I give a shit about!" I grew even more angry. "But that kinda makes it pretty fucking hard when you pull shit like you've done today! I'll be damned if I let that happen!"

Jack narrowed his eyes. "Oh, and what did I pull today?" He asked. I coldly chuckled.

"Oh, you know what you did.. You're trying to take New Edenia's fucking land! You've gotten some of my people to form a revolt, when I have done nothing but take care of my kingdom like I was supposed to! They're wanting to secede en masse and become a part of Dilania, and take the land with them! That's why I'm so pissed! This will not stand!"

Jack froze. "I did nothing." He said coldly. "Neither I, nor my people have attempted any such acts of sabotage. We are trying to maintain peace! Why would I risk that when you still hold a huge advantage in military terms? Especially when I have to worry about my family." I shook my head.

"That's a good question.." It really was. Why would he do this?.. Probably to regain his status of being the Emperor of a super power! But then again, he would know that the repercussions would he high.. I sighed and I added, "I truly don't know.."

Jack nodded. "You know, you've been blaming all your problems on me since the hunting incident. I know I caused many of them, but I didn't incite any protests this time. Maybe check your own record as leader, and you'd see why a few don't want to be ruled by you." I put on an angered expression and countered,

"Ohh, that's nice.. Look who the fuck's talking! Take a look in the mirror once in awhile!"

"I didn't commit genocide!" Jack replied. "I didn't murder 20,000 civilians. I didn't allow my girlfriend to torture and kill someone in a brutal way. I didn't make a deal with the devil himself. I am no saint, but neither are you. At least I have the courage to admit when I'm wrong, unlike you, who was so obsessed with getting revenge or protecting one person that you risked your entire nation on it."

He then turned. "So get off your high horse. I was sincere in my peace offer, and yet the first time you face a problem, or people disagreeing with you, you automatically blame me. As you always do."

He then began to walk off.

"You're right.." I said abruptly.

He stopped, and turned. He seemed stunned that I would say that. I shook my head and continued,

"All I am is a goddamn monster anyways.. I'm responsible for those peoples' murder. I made a deal with Palpatine. I believed Zillum without so much as a second thought. I'm to blame for it all.." I stepped closer and said more. "All that time Brandon abused me and my family, my anger and hatred only grew for the world.. I didn't want to live in such a place.. I act rashly and am angry all the time because of those reasons.." I shook my head.

"But that's no excuse.." I said. "I've been that way all my life.. The only thing keeping me remotely sane is Jade, Kenzi, and Adia.. Without them, I would have nothing to lose.. I expect the entirety of this dimension and the next to rejoice when I finally die.." I then chuckled. "Hell, even I'll probably celebrate that day.."

Jack looked at me. "That's your problem,"

He then continued. "The past does hurt. It always will. But you can't let it control you. That's why I'm trying to offer peace."

"I only offer peace because I want what's best for my people and my family.. For everyone I love, including the ones on your side!" I stated. I shook my head and added, "Nothing else matters to me.. I don't matter.. I could care less what happens to me. But as long as they're protected, then at least I've succeeded somewhere.."

"Drew, the fact that you say that proves you're not a monster. But I'm going to be honest. If you're going to lead a nation, especially a strong one, you need to think with your head, not your fists. This belligerent attitude will not always work, and there are far worse people than me out there. Palpatine would just continue until you were destroyed if the Battle of the North Ridge was between his empire and New Edenia. Remember this, that I want peace, but I will only work towards it if you are to do so as well. Great warriors build armies, but great leaders build kingdoms. You need to be able to be both." I shook my head and said with a lack of confidence and depression,

"I am no warrior… And I am no leader.." I sighed and sat down on the ground. "I don't know what the fuck I'm doing, Jack.. I didn't want to be a leader in anything! Hell, you remember how hesitant I was when you offered me those high ranking positions in the Imperial Navy. I just wanted something small; I wanted to be a Private. That's it! But somehow life has handed me this position as a King of a goddamn superpower.." With tears in my eyes, I faced Jack and finished,

"Do you think that's what I want!? Do you think I wanted all of this shit!? I'd rather just fucking be dead! Jade should've left me in that chasm to rot.. I deserve nothing life has given me.."

Jack looked at me. "Then why not dissolve your monarchy, and create a democracy, elect someone, and serve as a general or advisor or soldier? Why do you insist on continuing if you are so sick of this?" I stood up, now with a serious expression.

"Because it's what I was destined to do.." I replied. "You can't just choose what fate you want. It's given to you in advance!" I faced Jack and explained,

"I spoke with my parents when I almost died.. They told me it wasn't my time yet and that my destiny awaited me back here. You know why Jade saved me? Because it was fate at work! She loves me, and I love her, because it is meant to happen.. I cannot kill myself or be killed yet, because that's just not what I'm supposed to achieve.." I then continued after a bit of silence,

"If I am meant to be King of New Edenia, then I am meant to be King.. It would be selfish of me to end my life just because of my problems anyways.. What would my family do? I couldn't just leave them like that.. No matter how much I desire it, I would never do it again.. They'll never be abandoned ever again.. This is all happening for a reason.. What that reason is, I truly don't know yet.."

"Your destiny may be something, but the future is transient. You don't have to lead New Edenia. You may defend it, but in the end, your destiny is in your hands. Have you ever considered that maybe you might not be meant to be king, but a general or soldier?" I stopped. After some thought, I replied,

"You are right.." I looked him in the eye and continued, "Perhaps I control my own future, though my ultimate goal is already set in stone.." I shook my head. "I can't lead this nation anymore.. I just can't! There's too much blood on my hands, and there will always be problems.."

"Then what do you want to do?" Jack asked. I sighed, and then with a smile replied,

"I think it's time Dilania is reunited again.." After a bit, I added, "As one.."

Jack froze. He looked at me, as if thunderstruck. His face conveyed all these different emotions at once. Shock, fear, joy, nervousness…

He then smiled. "Then I will not rule alone. I want the council to have more power this time. And I want you to help me with that. But on two conditions, you make ample time for your family, and that we approve a bill of rights for all our people, to be obeyed to the letter. I will not let what happened last time occur again." I nodded.

"Agreed.. Though I have a couple conditions of my own as well.."

He nodded. "Go ahead."

"Firstly, I want there to be no prejudice towards anyone who once revolted.. They don't deserve anything but a peaceful and stable life."

He nodded. "Done. There will be laws put in place protecting everyone, whether New Edenian or Dilanian." I nodded.

"Good.. I just have one other condition."

He nodded. I shook my head.

"I will help you form Dilania as one again," I began. "but I won't be apart of it for long.. For I have something in mind that I've wanted to do for a long while now.."

Jack seemed saddened by that, but nodded for me to continue.

"I want my family to come along too, if they're willing.. I'll leave it up to them. But… What I've wanted to do is-" I cut myself off, feeling hesitant.

"What?" Jack asked. I sighed and began,

"I'm well aware that Kratos split long ago, and has formed his own 'New Sparta'.." I then continued on. "I want to seek an audience with Kratos and ask him if I can be among his Army and nation.."

Jack blinked. He looked down, deep in thought.

He looked to the side, avoiding eye contact. For a few seconds he stood there, silent.

"Very well..." He choked out.

"I will miss you brother. But please, just stay a few days to help us transition. It needs to be smooth and peaceful. And...you're always welcome in Dilania."

He then extended his hand. "And I will always consider you my brother, wherever you are." I smiled.

"I will remember that always… brother." I extended my hand, awaiting him to shake it.

We shook hands, and I swear, Jack seemed to still be in shock.

"Thank you..." He said.

No P.O.V

During the time they had been on hyperspace Rexy had taken the time to known about Alad V,Darvo,Clem and the Lotus.

Turns out the Lotus wasn't human but instead evolved from terraforming drones with her kind and were originally sent to the Tet that the trip back to the origin Galaxy made them sterile,but they changed and gained sentience thus naming themselves the "Sentients".

Anyways as soon as they had returned they began to wage war on the Orokin Empire. The Orokin who were the humans ruling back then made the "Infestation" to counter them...but their plan backfired and they then ended having to fight both. Soon the Sentients were nearly wiped out by the Tenno..while the orokin went extinct.

The Lotus then told then all about how she wanted children of her own...and took the Tenno as her childs. Alad told the story of the Corpus and his involvement in it...and Darvo told about how he met Clem and became a trader.

Rexy then told them the history of his Galaxy. Of the Old Republic..the arise of the Galatic Republic...the start of the Clone wars...how Palpatine had controlled both sides...Order 66...the death of many Jedi...the disbanding of the Republic...how he deserted and how the Galactic Civil war began.

"Amazing….so all the major events in your galaxy have happened because of the conflict between Sith and Jedi" The Lotus commented to which Rexy was about to comment "Yeah pretty muc"- VRRRRRROOOOOOM!

The fleets came out of hyperspace as Rexy saw distant planets...but way closer to his fleet he saw a weird object that said "Universal Replicator" as Rexy just blinked then smiled.

The Lotus was allowed to make her planet first which she did,making a japan style planet with towers and buildings of Orokin style...very luxurious and beautiful. She would now reside there with the tenno. She had chosen the name to be Gara Unum...in honor to the daughters she lost due to the Earth Sentient.

Alad V made a large planet well packed of raw materials and resources and full of Corpus shipyards and facilities and defenses,then made more planets that resembled those in the normal galaxy,to provide resources, and finally a accumunopolis for the soon to arrive additional Corpus fleets. This planet would also be his residence. He named it Corprania

Then it was Rexys turn...he smiled as he made a exact copy of Kamino. He named it Kortal. There the rebel kaminoans could begin creation of clones. Next up was to make 2 huge city planets..one was for military training and use only,it had huge shipyards,Equipment facilities and droid named it Falco Maximus in honor of the deceased city back in Chimaera.

Then for the great celebration he made a city planet with defenses to house the civilian populace and government named Comeria….

And Finally a planet made of several biomes to house the wildlife. Which he named Eden…

It was now that their attention was driven to the other planets in the system...especially the one that resembled Kashyyyk. As the fleet converged above the planet, a single Venator, 2 Acclamators,4 arquitens and a Orbiter with 8 tenno ships descended alongside 8 Corpus Falcon class Dropships.

Unknown P.O.V

We watched as the large ships made their way into the the planet and landed on a large clearing as a fellow Navi said "Sully..the sky people are back!"

Upon closer inspection of the ships they seemed far too advanced to be from Earth as I said "These are someone else….C'mon Neytiri...Sah'Nuk you come and bring warriors ".

The mentioned Navi warrior began to yip like a wild animal as more Navi came ….we then jumped off the cliff as our Banshees flew under us. As we fell on them and began to fly many more Navi were riding Direhorses and heading to were the sky people had landed.

Rexys P.O.V

As me and my men and droids got off the ships...we realized we had landed in a old runway, flanked by foliage covered hangars full of rotor wing aircrafts and vehicles….as I grinned and said "Who ever gets his men to get as much intel and vehicles as possible to here...gets a promotion"

Clones and Droids began to rush and run here and there...bringing transports and gunships along with strange mech suits and datapads full of intel. Then someone said "SIR! LOOK!"

As I looked above I saw strange flying creatures diving upon us….begin ridden by humanoid figures making warcry noises as strange legged creatures began to run out of the woods and surround the clearing…as a large orange colored creature landed in front of me as a blue colored humanoid alien creature looked at me and aimed a bow at me. "What are you doing in Pandora?!"

My men and droids pulled out their weapons as our walkers got into position as I said "Steady men! Hold your fire! My name is Rexy….Grand Admiral,leader of the Grand Army of the Republic, We are here to explore...i take it you are the leader here"

"My name is Jake Sully...this is my mate Neytiri,we are the leaders of the Navi of Pandora, why have you come here...first those planets appear now you do" He looked in high alert..seems the past humans werent that friendly. I just smiled

"Oh we made those planets"

The natives looked at me in shock and disbelief as Jake said "Bullshit…"

"Only Eywa can create!"

"The sky people are trying to be looked upon as Gods!"

"SILENCE SONS OF EYWA!" a voice declared

The natives began to bow to a woman that was passing by them dressed as a shaman as Jake bowed to her "Mo'at"

"Eywa has spoken to me! The sky people say the true! They have come to help Pandora from a lurking enemy! Ewya says that all of Pandora….from the smallest insect to the great Angtsìks are on their side!"

I looked confused suddenly various animals came out of the forest as huge flying creatures arrived as well all bowing to us as the natives also began to bow to us as Mo'at said "Jake...we must take them to the village and welcome them"

Jake then nodded as he bowed and said "In the name of Pandora and the Na'vi and by Eywas will . We welcome you Sky People please come with us"

I just nooded and said "Lotus...have some of your tenno stay to guard the ships...half of my droids will stay here as well with some troopers...the others with me!"
