"I am Admiral Mih Drers of the Galactic Empire. I am giving you a choice. Surrender or die." the Imperial ordered as Spaceman Wallis McFern was ejected out of the carrier along with every other squadron. He couldn't believe the amount of ships the Empire built to deal with them.
"No time for reports people. Wait for the Mars Shield to take the first shot then give it everything you got.." Lieutenant Leo Furn ordered. Within minute Wallis barely saw the weapon glide toward the Destroyer and he smiled remembering the last attack, but his smile faded when the destroyers opened fire on it and exploded. Enemy fighters appeared on his scanners as the enemy capital ship opened fire on the fleet. "MOVE IN NOW!" Leo ordered and Wallis charged his squadron in. He noticed half of the fighters escorting the light cruisers toward the moon and the remaining half headed toward them.
"Looks like they are targeting the bases." Millson noted. "Can't wait for them to meet hell."
"Focus. We have eyeballs heading our way." Leo said. The enemy fighters opened fire first and took out a few drones before Wallis open fire. Within seconds the surrounding space was covered in debris as the fleets fired at each other and the Lunar based opened fire on the Imperials.
Spaceman Sergeant Joss Drew was among the small team to explore the down Imp ships for the radio frequencies the Empire use for a new weapon that the army has. It's dangerous and anything could happen. He and Spaceman Andrew Furn were in the airlock heading to the edge of the battle in an Experimental LockBlade Nerney F-2 Assault Stealth Ship. As they reached a debris field the two spacemen threw themselves to an destroyed Star Destroyer. As they reached the enemy ship they saw armored bodies floating around in the darkness. "That's not creeping at all." Andrew said.
"Come on." Joss ordered. "Get that trooper helmet while I get the frequency finder."
"Sure, I'll deal with the dead while you handle the tech." Andrew replied as he threw himself to a dead imperial while Joss grab a small box from his belt. "Without the helmet he looks creepier."
"Don't care just get it over to me." Joss said as Andrew threw the helmet. The soldier grabbed the helmet and pulled a cord out of the box and attracted it to the inside of the helmet. "Find the hanger and see if it have anything of use."
"Great. I get to fly around in the dark with a bunch of dead bodies."
"Don't be a baby about it!" Joss said as he found the frequency of the helmets and sent the info back to the Pentagon. When it was transferred to the planet he followed Andrew's path. "Where are you Forager Four?"
"Good news and bad news. Good news is that I found the hanger."
"And the bad news?" Joss asked not wanting to know as Andrew came into view.
"The army has nothing on these things." Andrew answered as Joss saw what he meant. There were several two legged ground vehicles with guns on the front and sides, lined up across the hanger and Joss let out a cuss that would have gotten soup in his mouth from his mom.

Spaceman Dylan Figgins joined the space force when he was eighteen out of the memory of his father who died fighting in the Siege of Greenland. When they went into Stellar Defcon he knew that war was inevitable. So, when the invasion date was discovered to be the eighteen Dylan knew they gained an advantaged. Now the attack was happening and he felt confident in the T-Series Gun Turret. As the enemy fighter descended towards him, the young soldier held the gun handles and each side of his seat and starting shooting down the enemy. As the fighter got closer they began to fire at the base. The laser fire hit the base but the armor was stronger than the enemy. Then the TIEs hit the newly activated Particle shields and they explode against the blue wall and he smiled.
Dara Wern gave up her name when she join the Imperial Navy. Now she is TK-34276, an fighter Ace of the Empire who got to be part of one of the most important military operations in the history of the Empire. As she dive towards a enemy base on there moon. When she saw shields go up she quickly pulled up to avoid it. Then more enemy fighters engaged them from behind targeting the cruisers. They were quick work of the fighters. One primitive missile damaged the ship enough to lose power and crashes onto the moon's sands. They created an interesting trap for the Empire, yet futile. She targeted the enemy droid fighters and opened fire at them. Explosions followed as she targeted more droids and human fighters.

"They've raise up Particle shields and are targeting the cruisers. There's only five left." the Petty Officer replied and Drers stood there keeping her anger at bay.

"Good, our our canons in range of the enemy shields? Hal asked.
"Yes sir."
"Then open fire at will." Hal ordered and the ships canons opened fire at the shields. When it shut down the canons fired at the base and smoke rose from the wreckage. The imperial smiled.

Liam watched as the shadows of the battle covered the skies. The army was ordered to not advance on the German lines and to fortified defense. Now the army is waited in the trenches for an attack from space unaware to another threat. Then he heard tank fire and screams of victory in German. "GERMANS! Defenses!" Liam ordered and the men hurried to their battle stations. He aimed his Thompson SMG at the incoming German troops. Within seconds hundred of gunshots echoed the treeless field. Tanks were rolling towards the U.S trench. "Get a rocket up here now!"
"Here you go sir!" a soldier replied handing him a launcher. Liam load the weapon and aimed it at a German Tiger Tank. He pulled the rigger and the rocket fired violently and the rolling tank stopped in it's track, followed by a gunner opening fire at Liam. He quickly ducked at the machine bullets hit the ground.
"What do we have against the Tigers?" Liam yelled as the soldier searched through the boxes. Liam watched as men fell to the ground lifeless, just boys compared to him. Living breathing boys.
"Here it's one of the new Tank Breakers! Should do the trick!" the soldier said handing a red rocket.
"What's you name?" Liam asked.
"Private Roger Bernam sir!"
"Keep you head down and don't get killed!" Liam ordered as the machine guns stopped shooting at his position. He loaded the heavy rocket into the launcher before putting it on his shoulder and aiming it at the now in motion Tiger. He remembered the Battle of Trenton. His first time in command of men against a powerful force. Now he is fighting humans, a war that will change him. After Liam pulled the launcher's trigger the Tiger exploded into fire and smoke. He turned to Bernam and asked, "How many do we got?"
"Plenty sir." the private said smiling.

"What is happening General?"
"The Communist are attacking the Palace and blocking the military from helping us." the general said.
"When will help arrive?" the Tsar asked.
"Don't know. They may not arrive with the rebellion launching attacks." Mikhail said and the Tsar looked at his generals. The entire Russia leadership trapped in one room. He thought. After little over twenty minutes they heard an explosion at the door and they all stood up. The armored doors held as more explosions followed until they saw a line of heat making a circle on the doors. When the doors fell, a flash blind them and guns fired inside the room. Nicholas II felt a sting in his chest and he fell back to the ground.
"Your reign is over Tsar." a man that Nicholas recognize as Vladimir Moskal, a communist traitor of Russia and enforcer for Lenin. The traitor aimed his pistol at the old Tsar and fired.

But their sacrifice isn't in vain, the Earth Fleet have destroyed more than half of the Imperial fleet.
"This is Red Bison! I've lost seven drones and have two eyeballs on my six!" Gregory yelled in panic.
"I've got you Red Bison!" Wallis yelled back. His drones were all gone and he was alone in this field but he won't abandoned his fellow pilots. He saw Gregory fighter dodging the enemy fire near the underside of a destroyer. "Head toward the enemy's hanger. I've got a plan."
"On it!" Gregory replied as he head to the enemy hanger. Wallis target a small cruiser in the hanger and as Gregory flu past fired his last missile. The following explosion took out the fighters. "Thanks Sword."
"No problem." Wallis replied.
"Looks like we have reinforcements!" Watts of Canon squadron yelled and Wallis looked at the Earth to see three rockets coming towards them. When the rockets reach them the shells ejected off to reveal a new ship that looked similar to the Tesla canons. The ships glowed a bright blue before they fire at the Imperial fleet. Several ships were destroyed with each blast. An explosion shook Wallis fighter and he turned his head to see Lisa flying by.

Joss refilled his O2 tanks on stealth ship before heading to their second mission of capturing the Imperial command ship and due to them listen on the imps communication channels they discover was on a ship called the Flaming Serpent. Right in the center of the invasion fleet. He waited in the drop lock near the end of the ship with a team of shock troopers. The men he was leading consist of Andrew an friend from boot camp, Erin Julson one of the best sharpshooters they have, John Swant the heavy weapons expert with a Higgens SMG-Heavy Machine Gun, Harry Edwins the Fourth another heavy weapons expert but was wearing armor with arm-mounted machine guns, and Karen Swiss one of the best hackers the Space Force has. "Ready for drop?" the pilot Herald James asked.
"Ready." Joss replied grabbing the ceiling bars along with the team. "Ready for countdown?"
"10...9...8..7...6." James counted and Jess realize that this is a crazy plan. "2...1...Drop." he said and the floor doors dropped open leaving the team dangling for a second before they dropped to the destroyer hull. Joss turned on his mag boots before looking around them. They were close to the tower where the bridge and commanders where. Then he saw a window with white armored soldiers.
"Breach point." he said raising his rifle at the glass like window and fired. The bullet was an armor piecing bullet and went through the window with ease and the air inside eject violently out in seconds before metal doors resealed the area. The team slipped through the broken window before walking toward one of the doors. "Harry mind opening the door?"
"On it boss." Harry replied marching towards the doors. He bent his back and grabbed the bottom of the door. He lifted the door all the way up and the air escaped violently from the hallway. Joss and the team marched in quickly and Harry let the door go after he got in.
"O2 levels?" Joss asked.
"Stable enough to open the next doors." Karen replied.
"Move out fast. The imps know we'll here."

Liam was on the ground firing his gun at the outnumber army. His troops have retreated to the trenches while the machine gunners open fire upon the Germans and close to Liam. They charged the enemy in a desperate counterattack, but the enemy had machine emplacement on the hills making any assault impossible. Making the battle impossible to win, so Liam tried to crawl backwards. As he load his last rounds of ammo into his weapon he noticed something in the distance, so he grab his binoculars and saw an American running to the machine guns and taking them down. Liam couldn't believe it, he recognized the man as Alvin York. It appeared that York disabled at least ten machine guns while another forty were still up, but they had an opening. Liam stood up and ran to the left flank and motion his men to follow. They all charged up the left flank and the Germans from their right opened fire but few were killed thanks to the now American control machine guns on their own side firing at their backs.

The woman turned around to reveal herself as the rank of admiral. "It is of no matter." she said and Joss noticed the Earth Fleet getting closer. "We'll all going to die."
"What did you do?" Joss asked.
"I set the ship to self destruct and direct the ship to your fleet for Vader's arrival." the admiral answered smiling.
"Turn it off now!" Joss commanded.
"No, only my access codes will turn it off."
"Swiss hack into the system and shut it down." Joss order and the hacker ran towards the dashboards.

"Does the rest of the fleet agree with this fool?" Vader asked and the U.S.S.S Iowa fired at the Imperial ship. "Then die." Vader said as the destroyer opened fire on the moon destroying the bases and firing at the fleet at the same time.
"Good job McFern, you killed us all." Gregory said as the giant ship opened fire. Wallis flu his fighter toward the ship.
"Get in close, find a weakness." Leo ordered and Wallis flu above the enemy ship.

"But we'll not in the target zone!" George yelled back.
"We won't make it, drop them now!" Harry yelled as blaster canon fire engulf the ship.
"I can't the Imps will hit the bombs before they drop!" George replied and Harry let out a curse.
"Shields down twenty percent... forty percent." Lydia reported.
"I'm going to dive into the ship." Harry said. "We'll going to die might as well take them with us."
"It was an honor serving with you Blakely." George said as the bomber dived down. Harry pulled out a picture of his Rilla knowing he won't see her again. Then he crashed into the destroyer.

He never saw them again. Clan Noord found him alone and trained him to fight. Now he was leading Razor Squadron against the new destroyer. Five TIE squadrons headed towards them from the moon. They engaged the fighter and traded fire. The imps took out two Mando's while they took out three squadrons.
"I've got an Coffin on my six." Tax Tyl said evading a TIE. "They're good."
"Don't worry I got you Razor Six." Less Spurr replied as she flu her fighter toward the TIE. She opened fire and at the last second the Imp evade the blast and Lesh hit Tax instead. "TAX!"
"Or they're dead." Bhaa Tyl said anger in her voice as she headed toward the retreating TIE. As she managed to get the pilot in her sights, the TIE pulled back letting the Mando fly ahead and then Bhaa's fighter exploded.
Wern flu her fighter around the rebels blasting everyone she could till one was left. She tried targeting the rebel but he manged to keep himself out of her sight. Then she noticed her was heading to the debris field from the first attack fleet. For any ordinary pilot it would be suicidal, but for her, it would be difficult. They zoomed past the field avoiding large debris of the ruined fleet. She opened fire at the fighter but missed. Then she lost the rebel and her eyes widen as she saw a mine stuck on her window.
"Got you Imp." Razon said as he detonated the explosive and the TIE exploded. He won this game, but he knew the war was still going on as he direct his fighter to the Destroyer. The Earth fleet was still holding strong as the destroyer advanced towards them. He knew that the chance of success was slim but he knew that his fellow soldiers and friends lives would be wasted if he didn't try to take it down. The ship's Turbolasers opened fire and he dodged them. But with so many targeting him, one was able to hit damaging the fighter. Followed by another and another, and seventh hit was the final fatal hit.
Wallis watched as his fellow soldiers were slowly wiped out one my one by enemy fighters. Leo was crashed into a tower on the destroyer, Lisa was blown apart from three fighters, and so much more happened to the Earth Fighters. The fleet was barely holding their shields and once they go out their're history. If they don't do something soon the Earth will be defenseless. Wallis himself was out of weapons and options as a fighter was tailing him. He remembered his brothers. One laid down his life for freedom and the other was safely away from this hell. The fighter behind him knocked out his engines and his fighter was dragged to the artificial gravity of the destroyer. He glided his ship to a turret and crashed taking out one more weapon the Empire could use to kill his fellow Patriots.

"Why move the fleet. The explosion won't affect them." Taussig said.
"The explosion won't, but the EMP blast will." Reed said. "We have to launch the missile."

As Gregory flu around he noticed the TIEs were having trouble flying around due to their wings being squares attached to a bubble instead of being more wing like. He was able to target more transports before getting spotted by another TIE. He evaded the fighter and shot them in the back.

Operation Thunder Strike - Day 46
Nancy watched as the fleet of aircraft battle the advancing enemy transport and fighters. The Space fleet was close to being in the safe zone but they still had to wait to launch the Atomic Missile. So far the five thousand aircraft is holding the the Imps back from D.C, but they are starting to slip past. "I hope your weapon is worth the trouble Pershing." Reed said.
"Hey, your guys took most of the hits and hitting." Pershing replied. "The weapon will finish the ground assault troops."
"Sir the fleet is in the safe zone." a Spaceman said.
"It's time." Nancy said as she got her key. Each of the four Generals and Admirals had a key to arm it and a position to place the key six feet from each other. They simultaneously place their keys into the keyholes and turned them. The room lights turned red as they turned the keys, alerting them that the missile was armed and waiting to fire.
"Missile armed." an officer said. Reed looked at Pershing, Taussig, and finally Nancy.
"Fire." Reed said and a blimp appeared on the monitors. Reed leaned on the railings and stared at the screens. "Were entering a new age."

Operation Thunder Strike - Day 46
Sullit watch as the pathetic native fleet try to retreat to the other side of their world. He smiled knowing that the ground assault troops are on their way to D.C. The battle is coming to a close and the Empire will win. "Sir, we have a missile incoming." an Ensign reported
"They think once missile will destroy this ship? Ha." the admiral replied. "Let the primitive missile hit us. It's show strength and wait for Lord Vader's command to bombard the planet."
"Yes sir." the young officer said and Sullit continued to stare out of the window. Minutes later a blinding flash appeared followed by the ship rocketing. Sullit fell backward and opened his eyes to see nothing.
"Status report!" the blinded admiral yelled.
"The ship split in two, we've lost all power!" an officer reported frantically.
"Was it the missile?"
"We believe so sir." the officer said and Sullit could not believe what he was hearing. The Earth has a more powerful weapon than the Empire.
"Sir, we're losing Oxygen!" another officer yelled.
"We've lost." the admiral said defeated.

Operation Thunder Strike - Day 46
Liam watched as the German tanks rolled closer. The American soldier have managed to take over the German's position, but the enemy would not stop. They're risk everything for their homeland, just like Liam and the U.S would. Liam knows that their anti-tank supply is low, right now they need a miracle. Then a bright light created a shadow in front of them then it vanish, leaving the tanks standing still. Whatever that light was must have blinded the drivers so they waited. When the tanks stood still Liam grab his radio for more anti-tank weapons but found that it wasn't operating. Liam knew that light did more than blind the enemy, it cut off all power. The captain looked in the sky and saw the large destroyer bigger than anything he ever seen, but it was split into two. He didn't saw the fleet and thought that they were dead. They won the war in Space, but at a cost.

"Target hit sir." one of the officers reported to Reed. The admiral just leaned on the railing knowing that they just unleashed the most powerful weapon they had. Nancy have read the reports of the test and knew about the destructive power of the weapon. When it detonated at the enemy ship she knew that they enter a new age of warfare and so does the Empire.
"We did the right thing." Nancy said comforting the Admiral. "We would have lost the war and any hope of destroying the Empire if we didn't."
"She's right." Pershing added. "We show the empire how powerful we have become and that it's suicidal if they attempt to attack again."
"We still have the ground forces to deal with." Reed replied before turning to an army captain. "Airman, status report of the enemy ground force."
"Down sixty percent and counting." the captain reported. "Twelve percent is pasting the coast. Eight percent were taken down by the Navy."
"Prep the weapon for the assault." Pershing ordered as Nancy went toward her officers.
"When the fighters are done in the Atlantic have them report back to base for rearmament and then have them pick off any stragglers." Nancy ordered and the officer nodded. The general smiled knowing that they are winning the battle.

Operation Thunder Strike - Day 46
Vader watched as the city buildings came into view. His ship was not in the lead, but in the middle of the ground assault fleet. As the shuttle began to land, Vader walked back to the his squad of elite troops. Each trooper was reading their blasters when the shuttle violently start to fall rapidly. Vader turned to the cockpit and head the pilots scream in pain. The dark lord force pulled the pilots out of the cockpit and took control of the shuttle. He landed the shuttle in near a strange white tower. When the shuttle was safely on the ground he marched to the two pilots. He noticed that they taken off their helmets and stopped yelling in pain. One of the pilots was a young women while the other was a forty year old man. The dark lord heard some kind of noise coming from the helmet."What happened?" Vader commanded.
"We don't know sir." The man answered. "One second we were flying, the next we heard a high pitch noise."
Vader pulled the helmet towards him and inspected it. The noise was certainly a high pitch sound that was not generating from any Imperial ship or trooper. "It appears the Earth has a new weapon." Vader said breaking the helmet.
"What of the other shuttles sir?" the woman asked.
"Crashed most likely." Vader said. "Tell Admiral Sullit of the discovery and wait for my return."
"Yes sir." the pilots said as Vader left the ship with his squad.
"Twenty six percent is down in D.C" a captain reported. That's ninety one percent of the enemy ground force taken down. Nancy smiled knowing that the last ships will be taken out soon swiftly by the army and the battle will be over.
"Your weapon worked out well General." Nancy commented.
"Thank you, now we take out the stragglers and find any survivors." Pershing said.
"Sir one of the shuttles landed at the Washington Monument." the captain reported.
"How?" Pershing asked.
"Don't know, but the city's security system caught them." the captain reported as the live footage appeared on the monitors. A man in a black cape was marching into the city with a squad of black armored behind him.
"Vader." Nancy said.
"I'll call Nuzlu, he'll want some revenge for his friends." Reed said gripping the railing.
Nuzlu was prepared for Vader's coming. His remaining rebels readied a trap for the dark lord, knowing it's now or never. The Mandalorians rushed out of their transport and headed towards the rooftops. When Vader came into view, Nuzlu remember all of his friends dying on Ilum for Ian and him. Now it's his turn to do the killing. The Mandalorian raised his blasters at Vader and fired followed by his men. The dark lord blocked the invisible blasts with his now invisible lightsaber blade while a few of his Death Troopers behind him fell. "VADER!" he yelled. "SURRENDER OR DIE!"
"There will be surrender rebel! Only death!" Vader yelled and Aici press the trigger of the explosive in the transport. The ship exploded ripping apart the near by homes and cars. When the smoke clear Nuzlu saw Vader standing there surrounded by his dead soldiers.
"Vader Protocol Alpha Prime!" Nuzlu yelled and the Mandalorians raised their new Earth Machine guns, rifles, pistols and fired. Vader raised his hand and the bullets stopped in front of him.
"Pathetic!" Vader said as the bullets were forced back at them. Nuzlu and Aici ducked in time, but the rest of his men were pierced by the bullets in the vulnerable areas of their armor. Nuzlu looked at Aici and she nodded. The both of them jumps of the building close to Vader and kept him in close quarter combat. Every punch felt like punch a wall to Nuzlu. The Sith's lightsaber proved to be the most dangerous weapon to the Mandalorian. As Aici jabbed Vader's mask, Nuzlu reached for the end of the lightsaber hilt and forced it out of the Imperial hands. As Nuzlu back off to position the weapon in his hands correctly, Vader grabbed Aici's throat and pulled her of the ground and in front of the Mandalorian. "Tell me where the boy is or she dies." Vader commanded. Nuzlu was frozen. For once he didn't knew what to do.
"Don't do it." Aici cried. "Honor."
"Silence." Vader commanded as military trucks drove near releasing dozens of soldier surrounding the Imperial.
"You're surrounded Vader. Surrender. Nuzlu said. "You've lost Vader."
"So have you." Vader replied as he broke Aici's neck.
"NO!" Nuzlu yelled as his love's body fell to the ground. He fell to his knees releasing his grip of the Sith's weapon.
"I am now your prisoner Mandalorian." Vader said. Nuzlu stood as the soldiers handcuffed the murderer.
"I hope you enjoy the end of your life Sith." Nuzlu said as the dark lord was taken away.

It's been almost a week since the Earth Siege. Satiis still couldn't get his head around the battles that happened at the same time. But now the battle is over and due to Satiis's cooperation he's been released to live a life here on Earth. He got on a train to Amarillo and when he arrived to the small town he headed straight to the Middleston Farm. As the farm came into view her saw Mr. Middleston on the front porch drinking some lemonade, Mrs. Middleston was next to him, their son was fixing the cabin roof which Satiis stayed in, and Lisa was in the garden. Mr. Middleston saw the ex Imperial as he walked onto the land. "Hello Cole! It been awhile!"
"Sure has Mr. Middleston!" Cole yelled back. At that point Lisa stood in the Garden and walked towards the little house. When Satiis reach the house he asked, "How have you been?"
"I've been good. You?" Middleston replied as Lisa reached them.
"Hello Lisa." Cole said.
"Hey. Good to see you again." Lisa replied nervously.
"Have you heard about the Imperial deserter? It made headlines across the nation." Mrs. Middleston said.
Satiis sighed. "I've wondering if you need any help on the farm?"
"Yeah but the pay isn't the great." Mr. Middleston answered.
"I'll take anything." Satiis said as he looked at Lisa. "But before you decide whether to accept me I have to tell you the truth."
"Don't worry we already know you're the Imperial deserter." Mr. Middleston replied and both Lisa and Satiis eyes widen.
"How?" Satiis asked.
"You treated us like we're human. Now many people here ever done that." Mrs. Middleston answered. "And Lisa's behavior towards you helped."
"So will you accept me?" Satiis asked.
"Yes." Mr. Middleston answered with a smile.

The war is finally coming to close after a treaty been signed yesterday. Liam smiled knowing that the war is finally over. He walked by some injured prisoners and noticed one soldier with a missing leg staring at the captain. "Need something?"
"Yes." the German said. "Get me away from that man." he said pointing to a nearby black American guard.
"What about him?"
"He's black." the German said and Liam was tired of the racism in this world.
"No Lieutenant...?"
"Hitler. Adolf Hitler."
"Well Lieutenant Hitler, Corporal Rogers is one of my best men and I dislike you so no." Liam said smiling leaving the disgruntled German behind.
"You're regret it when I lead Germany into the American continent!" Adolf yelled.
"Yeah right!" Liam yelled back. "It'll be a cold day in hell before you ever invade the U.S.A!"

"Reed, sit down." President Wilson ordered and the Admiral did as ordered. "I'm going to have you court martial."
"Why sir?" Reed asked knowing the answer.
"You completely ignored my orders and place the Earth and America in danger. That I call treason."
"Okay, go ahead and court martial a hero to the Earth. The public sees me as a hero. Court martial me and good luck trying to stay president for the next term." Reed said smiling. "I can see the headlines now, President Wilson Court Martial National Hero!"
"Playing politics now are we." Wilson said. "Fine you can keep your rank till my reelection. Then you are out of the military. Leave."
"Gladly." Reed said knowing something the fool doesn't.
Nancy stood on the staged looking at the dozen of cameras and reporters. She, Reed, and Pershing came up with a plan to secure the future of the U.S and the Earth. As she got to the microphone the reporter leaned closer. This is being broadcast live to the U.S and the world. "Hello. Ladies and gentleman. Many of you may have heard rumors of that the military is losing trust in President Wilson and I am confirming that it's true. Which is why with the support of General Pershing and Admiral Reed I am announcing my nomination for President of the United States." The crowd bolted to their feet and asked a hundred questions.
"So when is this friend of yours coming?" Reed asked Nuzlu.
"Soon, he owes me a life debt and helped with the rebel cause. He considers me crazy at times, but is dependable." Nuzlu replied.
"When will you be back?" the admiral asked.
"When I find a Jedi and bring them back here. It's the only way we can train Ian." Nuzlu said as an old Corellian ship landed.
"Times are changing." Reed said.
"Indeed. This world have done something many can only dream of and that is weakening the Empire."
"Tell as many as you can. We will become a beacon for a rebellion."
"His breathing is creeping me out." Will said knowing who they are guarding.
"What do you expect. He is feared by everyone." Steve replied wishing he was a guard at an Imperial POW camp. Vader heard the conversation and know that are alone.
"Excuse me guard." Vader said.
"Yeah Imp." Will replied.
"Can I have some water." Vader reaching out with the force and strangling the guards. When he felt their deaths the Sith lord walked to the cell bars and pulled them off. Fools. Vader thought of the natives as he walked toward the Warden officer force choking any guard he saw. When Vader enter the office he saw Warden MacFer holding Vader's lightsaber.
"I figured you would try to escape sooner or later." MacFer said igniting the red blade. "So I have been prac-ack!" he said before the Sith choked the fool and pulled the lightsaber to his hands.
"Fools." Vader said as the Warden body dropped to the ground and leaving to steal a ship.

Vader bowed to his master on the familiar floors. "The Earth pose a greater threat than we realized. They grew too powerful."
"Disappointing." Palpatine said.
"I do have a plan."
"What?"
"The Earth is divided by the their skin, nationality, and religion. If we leave them alone long enough the oppressed will rise again their Democracies and destroy their militaries in the process."
"It is our only option now Vader. Prepare a new fleet just in case we have attack it instead."
"Of course my master."
