Chapter 3 the power of the Guardians
It's been a couple weeks since the Guardians declared war against not only the Separatists but the Republic and the Jedi.
The Republic was shocked by this announcement since none of them ever suspected that a former Jedi would amass an army so large or declare war against them.
Arrogantly many believed the Guardians would be swiftly defeated and even offered to lead a charge against Earth. That proved to be a disaster as not only were the Senators slaughtered without mercy but the survivors that were all clones turned on the Republic after the Guardians offered them a choice. Fight for a government that doesn't give a damn about them or fight for true peace and justice to be remembered in the pages of history.
Right now however the Republic was fighting against a new weapon of the Separatists.
Mast Plo was sent to find this new weapon and did but it turned out to be an Ion cannon that destroyed his fleet but he and a few clones survived.
"General what was that thing anyway?" One of the clones asked.
"That commander was an Ion cannon. Deactivated our shields and weapons in a single blast." Master Plo said.
"General I think we've got company." Boost said as a drop ship appeared before bringing them in.
"Seems help has arrived." Plo said as they were brought inside the ship before exiting their pod.
"Well, well, well." A familiar voice said making Plo turn and saw Sean, Reznov and Julia.
"This is indeed a surprise." Plo said as his troops aimed their weapons at them. "Stand down." Plo said.
"Sir you can't be serious?" Boost said.
"Calm yourselves I have no intention of fighting one who believed Krell was guilty before half the order left. I came to talk and nothing more." Sea said.
"Oh?" Plo asked in interest.
"Yes. I've come to ask you to join the Guardians old friend." Sean said.
"Like thats ever going to happen." One of the clones said.
"Might I ask why you wish for me to join? My loyalties are to the Jedi. While I am shocked that the Republic was responsible for Sarah's death I am still loyal to the Jedi." Plo said.
"Perhaps but what if I were to offer you something more then they ever could. A chance to make the Galaxy safe and make sure true justice is achieved unlike their flawed ways." Sean said.
"True Justice? After you killed General Tiin?" Boost said in anger.
"Despite the brutal Kill Master Tiin brought that to himself." Plo said shocking his troops.
"Indeed. Master Tiin always lectured my sister about how her ways were always flawed. And when her killer walked free he was one of the few who allowed it believing Krell was innocent. I saw what he really felt. He was glade to see my sister gone. So I delivered him a swift death unlike the one I gave Krell. Besides wouldn't you want to fight for a group of warriors who actually gives a damn about it's soldiers and warriors?" Sean asked.
"Though this is indeed true..." Plo tried to say.
"Plus I will make sure Miss Tano and her master stay alive." Sean said making him pause.
"You know about Ahsoka?" Plo asked in surprise.
"Of course." Sean said. He had kept tabs on the Jedi since he left as they had done the same to him. He knew about the young Togruta. He knew the girl has great potential but was currently blinded by the lies of the Jedi council. She was currently assigned to Anakin Skywalker shortly after the Guardians declared war against the Republic and the Separatists.
"We would make sure she reaches her full potential. Along with Skywalker since we know the truth about him. The one who will bring balance to the force." Reznov said.
"Although I'm not usually one who believes in destiny or prophecy I do believe Anakin holds a great purpose in life. His conception without a father proves that." Sean said getting Plo to think on this.
Later
After Anakin and Ahsoka failed to find Plo and his men they found out what the mystery weapon was and reported it back to the council.
"An Ion cannon?" Obi-Wan asked.
"From the look of things yes thats exactly what it seems to be. And Grievous is the one in command of this new weapon." Anakin said.
"This would explain why their haven't been any survivors. Are you sure Master Plo was not there when you arrived?" Mace asked.
"No master we searched for as long as we could but once that massive cruiser showed up we had no choice but to retreat. We have to assume that Master Plo was killed in the attack before we arrived." Anakin said while Ahsoka sighed in sadness.
"This is unfortunate. Every General we lose gives our enemies the upper hand. Already the Guardians are making themselves known each day with every victory." Palpatine said,
Later
After carefully strategizing a plan to destroy the main weapons on the Malevolence Anakin and his apprentice along with his squad was able to stop Grievous from destroying a medical station.
Just then three Republic cruisers emerged from hyperspace.
"Anakin are you still there?" Obi-Wan asked.
"I'm here." Anakin said.
"Congratulations. It looks like your mission was a success." Obi-Wan said impressed.
"Mostly. Grievous is still alive and I lost more than half of my men." Anakin said.
"Dock with my cruiser and we'll take it from here." Obi-Wan said.
Meanwhile
Sean was looking through data files when Aayla walked in.
"Something you wish to report?" Sean asked.
"The Malevolence has been greatly damaged by Skywalker. Grievous is on the run while Kenobi and his fleet engage the cruiser. This could turn to our favor." Aayla said making him smirk.
"I already have a plan in mind. Activate the device on my command." Sean said kissing her before he left.
Back with the Jedi
The cruisers continued their assault when Ahsoka saw something on the radar.
"Master, I'm picking up a signal near the enemy vessel. Something just came out of hyperspace." Ahsoka said.
"Enemy reinforcements?" Anakin asked.
"No it looks like...A Naboo ship." Ahsoka said confused.
"Gunner, stand down! What in blazes are they doing out here?" Obi-Wan asked while Anakin looked nervous.
"Ahsoka, Contact that ship." Anakin said getting her to do just that.
"This is Senator Amidala." Padme said making Anakin widen his eyes.
"Padme? What are you doing out here?" Anakin asked in shock that his wife was out here.
"I was sent on a special mission." Padme said before her ship stopped moving. "They've caught me in a tractor beam." Padme said before her transmission ended.
"All cruisers stand down." Anakin said getting them to stop.
Meanwhile
"Well, this is an odd turn of events." Sean said seeing the data he was just given about the situation. "I find it odd that this Senator Amidala was given intel that there was talk of a peace treaty when no such thing was given in the senate." Sean said.
"You believe that perhaps Dooku has spies within the senate?" Kota asked.
"That of course but something else. We'll talk about that later right now we have a mission to complete." Sean said.
Back with the Jedi
Anakin, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka docked with the Malevolence without even being noticed to rescue the senator.
However something else also docked with the massive cruiser though not for the same reasons.
"So whats the plan master?" Ahsoka asked.
"Well, Obi-Wan is going to the engine room to sabotage it so they can't get away." Anakin said.
"A rather bold strategy Skywalker." A familiar voice said making them turn around and.
"Master Plo!" Ahsoka said seeing him alive before rushing to him.
"Hello Little Soka." Plo said.
"How are you alive? We thought for certain Grievous killed you?" Obi-Wan said.
"I had help." Plo said before Kota and Reznov appeared from the shadows with their lightsabers with Reznov's being green and purple.
"Master Plo?" Ahsoka said a little concerned.
"What's going on?" Anakin asked a little nervous.
"Simple he's joined us. He's joined the Guardians." Reznov said twirling his lightsabers.
"Master Plo? Why?" Ahsoka asked in shock.
"Nothing personal honestly. Sean gave me a choice when he rescued me and my men. Join the Guardians and give true everlasting peace to the galaxy or return to the Republic and serve a corrupted government that will turn it's back on us. I chose to truly serve the galaxy." Plo said pulling out his lightsaber.
"I admit the Republic does have it's flaws but it's not without hope." Obi-Wan said as he and Anakin activated their lightsabers along with Ahsoka.
"Wrong. Its beyond redemption. And soon the Guardians will replace it and the Jedi." Kota said before they charged at each other.
Meanwhile
Sean arrived in the Engine room seeing the damage.
"Hmm it will take some time to repair this." Sean said before he heard mechanical laughter and turned and saw none other than General Grievous.
"Kruger. It's been a long time my old friend." Grievous said.
"Indeed. I haven't seen you in almost 3 years. I hear you've been made the top general of the Separatists. But then again who else could fill the position. Well, other then me for obvious reasons." Sean said getting him to laugh.
"We both serve the same goals. To eradicate the Jedi order and the Republic." Grievous said.
"True. But I don't intend to kill all the Jedi. Just those who cannot be turned like my former master and the ones I've killed already in this war. But enough about that." Sean said pulling out his star saber and activated it while Grievous pulled out two lightsabers. "Let us see if you have indeed improved." Sean said as they charged at each other.
Meanwhile
Aayla and Julia were in the command center and destroyed a few droids.
"You know how to fly this thing?" Aayla asked Julia who smirked.
"Of course I do. Just waiting for the signal.
Anakin, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka were backed into a corner as Kota, Reznov and Plo had them beat.
"Come now Little Soka. Why throw away your life so recklessly. Join us and you will reach your full potential as will all who side with us." Plo said before the room collapsed and separated them.
"A pity. Next time perhaps." Kota said before they left to head to the command center.
Sean and Grievous were still fighting one another before a device on Sean's wrest activated making him smirk.
"Another time Grievous." Sean said before he kicked him back and jumped away.
Not liking how he just left in the middle of a battle Grievous headed for his ship.
Anakin after finding Padme went back to the Twilight to regroup with the others when the hallway nearly collapsed on them and some debris nearly crushed her when suddenly something stopped it.
Padme looked and gasped seeing Sean who held the piece from the ceiling from falling on her.
"You gonna stand there all day or move?" Sean asked getting her to move before Sean threw the piece down.
"Why did you do that?" Anakin asked being on guard.
"Please like I actually want either of you dead. I only one to kill Jedi who felt nothing for my sister when she died. And you two are not on my list. Besides you two are more valuable alive. She actually gives a damn about the people of the galaxy unlike most of the Senate. You Skywalker are brave, compassionate and fearless. The qualities of a true warrior. A true Guardian. I believe master Qui-Gon would have wanted you and Kenobi to join me." Sean said.
"You knew Master Qui-Gon?" Anakin asked lowering his guard.
"I did. He knew Krell was guilty from the very beginning but stayed hoping that eventually Krell would be brought to justice. Regretfully for him he died before he could ever see it. He would want you to reach your full potential Skywalker. I see you as great Guardian in the future. Consider my offer to join us. You and Miss Padme. Both of you could make a true difference in the future." Sean said before the room collapsed separating them.
Soon enough The Jedi left with the Senator while Grievous and a few droid star fighters followed them.
However suddenly a large portal appeared before a cruiser twice the size of the Malevolence appeared.
"What is that?" Ahsoka said in shock. The cruiser pulled the Malevolence into the docking area before another portal appeared and left.
"I believe the Guardians just got a new toy." Obi-Wan said before the medical station also had a portal appear behind it and was pulled into it before disappearing.
"They played us. They got both the Malevolence and the Medical station. That gives them over 60,000 clones as hostages." Ahsoka said.
"Not hostages Ahsoka. New troops. They plan to turn them over to their side." Anakin said in a serious voice. Inside his mind he was thinking of Sean's offer to join the Guardians since after the truth about why Sarah was killed he was beginning to wonder if he was on the wrong side.
Later
"What!" Mace said in a serious tone.
"Master Plo sided with the Guardians. Now they'll have valuable intel on us because of him. Not only that but their numbers will increase now." Obi-Wan said getting many in the room to look nervous.
"Planed out this was in advanced it was yes." Yoda said.
"We need an edge against him if we are to win this war." Koth said.
"I don't believe we'll find one that simple." Obi-Wan said knowing this war was no longer in the Jedi's favor anymore.
Meanwhile
Sean looked at his new troops in special new armor. (Picture their armor similar to Spartan armor from Halo but looks like their original)
"Very impressive." Plo said.
"Indeed. Now we have two new additions to our army. The Malevolence and the Medical station." Sean said.
Authors Note: Oh now things are really picking up. They lost one of their best Jedi and medical station and 60,000 troops and the Separatists lost their biggest cruiser thanks to the famous Spirit of Fire My number one favorite ship in the Halo Universe. And more Jedi will follow Plo's example and leave the Jedi for the real protectors of the Galaxy. Now as I promised the list of girls for this harem.
