I do not own Star Wars, and any similarity to other Fanfictions are unintentional. Story is (partly) based off the Independance Day Movie

It was a rough day for Grievous. He was tied to The back of a vehicle and missing all his arms and one of his legs. The supposed Republic soldiers did all of this, with Slugthrowers! The General who had killed so many Jedi without using the force, was captured by some slug throwing recruits in the Republic. Based off their accent, they were all from the Outer Rim, except for one who sounded like he was from the Core World. Definitely not clones, they didn't look alike at all.

'Once Dooku rescues me… No, I will find a way to get out myself, maybe get to the nearest spaceport, get a shuttle to Christophis'.

Whatever hopes he had, they were postponed when he entered a warehouse. To meet him was someone who seemed in authority. He was in a gray suit, likely in his mid 40's. He had dark blue eyes, and nicely done dark black hair, although a few strands of gray could be seen.

"On behalf of the United States of America, welcome to Earth!" The person said happily.

"You will pay for what you've done!" Grievous yelled.

"Ah yes, introductions. For the time being, I am not not liable to tell you my full name, but Grant will do. And you?"

'What does he mean, who am I?' Grievous thought to himself. "I am General Grievous, the most feared general of the Separatist Army, How do you not know who I am?"

"I am glad to make your acquaintance General, but am sorry, but you are the first evidence we have of life outside our Solar System. Please, follow me to one of the, conference rooms".

Interrogation Room, Area 51

In a concrete room, with one way glass separating Grievous and Grant from the rest of Area 51. A chair was brought up to Grievous, who sat in it, tired of standing on one leg, though he was thoroughly chained to the chair. Opposite of him was the Interrogator, Grant. Outside the room seemed like nothing, because of the one way glass, but both knew there were soldiers guarding the door.

"Republic Scum, stop lying to me. When Dooku gets here you…"

"I am sorry, but who is this Dooku?"

"Dooku Is the head of the Confederacy, and is coming here to get me as we speak".

"What is the Confederacy?"

'What does he mean, what is the Confederacy?'. Visibly confused and Angry, Grievous responded "The Confederacy is a large amount of systems breaking away from the Republic and their wretched Jedi Order".

"And what is the Republic?"

Is this person brain dead? "The Republic is the main government in the galaxy".

Still calm, Grant continues. "So what is this Jedi Order".

Where has this person been for the past 5000 years. "The Jedi Order is the official religion of the Republic and is made up of warriors bent on killing all who don't agree with them".

Shock was on Grant's face for just a second, then disappeared, though was not seen by Grievous.

Maybe this man is not part of the Republic after all! Grievous thought.

"So who is the leader of your government?" Grant asked.

Grievous thought about it for a second, knowing full well that a certain Sidious was technically in charge, but decided to say nothing.

Grant slowly looked up at him, his face darkening. You see, you are in the most secure military base in this country. I am in charge of this interrogation, and you will answer the questions I ask. I have every ability to make your life difficult, very difficult. If you don't tell me the information I want, then I will do everything in my power to make it as horrible as it can get for you. Now, tell me where you are from.

Grievous was taken aback by his abruptness and was about to say something in return, when a sound came from an instrument on Grants desk. Grant immediately picked it up.

"Hello, this is IR 34. Yes Ma'am. I understand". Grant quickly left, without a word, leaving Grievous to think of what just happened... and a possible escape plan.

Grant walked up to a door with a soldier, and pulled out his ID, which was immediately scanned.

The soldier nodded his head and opened the door for Grant.

Inside the room were three Generals sitting at a long table, two 2-star Generals, and one 3-star General. The men motioned for Grant to take a seat at the head.

"Special Agent Grant, we have something for you to see. It is of the utmost importance". At once, they all looked at the screen at the other end of the table, with President Wilson appearing on it.

"Agent Grant, I understand you have found information of value?" Asked the president.

"Yes Sir, he is part of a certain Confederacy, which appear to be splitting up from a certain Republic, which, from the way he said, was lead by a bloodthirsty order called the Jedi"

"Inspector Grant, there is little time and this may be a little rushed, but because of your knowledge of both the ET's and of our Military, I am having you take emergency control of the United States Military, under only me. You have much more experience than you may admit, and though you have declined being a commander multiple times, I feel it is in the best interest of all of Humanity if you accept. I understand how you feel about… the incident, but the world is relying on you now. I and the other generals, along with the U.N. General Assembly agreed that if the E.T.'s arrived that in the case of an invasion, you are to take command. You know tactics better than everyone else. There is not time for an official promotion, but I as the President of the United States, do hereby grant you the rank of 4-star General. The other generals in the room have your new badge… and a new gadget that you will find very useful." The President continued "Grant, I know I made the right...".

Before the president could finish what he was saying, the lights immediately flicked off, along with the T.V. And other electronics, leaving the room in complete darkness, and the people in the room in silence till the backup generator turned on. The lights turned back on with a eerie glow. A brown out happened, shutting the TV off. Immediately, the lights regained power.

"General Grant, this is the special gadget". Though at first it looked like a smart watch, upon closer inspection, it had several buttons lining up the side, a speaker and a mini radio. This device will only work when it is near you, and will respond only to your commands. On it, is a nuclear missile button, which you should only use in the worst case scenario, it also includes a microphone by which you can contact any unit on earth with a radio. The president also didn't mention how All the nations have put aside their differences, and you can contact any country you need.I do not know everything this can do, but right now, you are needed to go to the situation also here is you new badge".

Grant rushed out the door with the badge and watch, leaving the other generals saluting to him, and nearly knocking the soldier on the other side over.

As Grant strode toward the door of the situation room, the guard watched warily from his desk nearby. He thought to himself "Is this guy lost? I've been working this post for months and I've never seen him before." Grant waved his newly obtained watch in front of the badge reader and the door unlocked. Surprised, the guard quickly glanced at his console and observed the message "Operational Commander Extra-Terrestrial Response authenticated successfully" His stomach dropped, that message could mean only one thing.

He ran into the communication room. Computers were shown with circles and planets. Grant walked up to the officer in charge, and showed him his badge.

"What has happened so far?"

3 minutes earlier

A fleet of Separatist Warships entered the orbit of Mars.

On the bridge of the lead ship was a group of battle droids at their stations, under the command of a tactical droid, processing on what to do next.

"Sir, we are detecting signals coming from that planet" said a B-1 droid, Pointing to a blue and green dot on its screen

"How far away is it?" the Tactical Droid responded
