For all who haven't figured it out yet, I do not own Star Wars, never have, never will.
Now for Reviews
Fanfics imperator: Thanks for pointing that out, I didn't notice I put Victory Class SD there, I meant Venator, and the Ship Grievous was using was a starship like the Malevolence, but not the Malevolence itself, but if you have any suggestion what it should be instead, please send them.
DarthJacob1: Thanks for the Reviews and the PM's, I'll definitely keep those in mind as I continue writing this story.
w.m.simpson jr: Good point about the Physics, and I went through and changed a small thing about the Portal and its amount of radiation.
Guest who does not seem to have a name: Oh no, I think your right!
The Inquisitor: Well... Ok then.
JamesRosemary4: Truest statement I've ever heard
Trickey Dickey: Much of what you said will be covered next Chapter, mainly the After Battle stuff, but as for Rex, let's just say Ahsoka is not understanding what the force is telling her, like most Prequel Jedi.
Now... to the chapter
The Next Day, In Hyperspace
Ashoka looked at Anakin.
"Hey Skyguy, how far away are we?"
Ashoka and Anakin watched the holograms of Obi Wan, Plo Koon, and Mace Windu as they discussed a plan.
"We are set to arrive in five minutes" Obi Wan said.
Mace Windu added. "When we do arrive, I will contact the planet. I want all pilots to begin flying toward the planet once we arrive".
Plo Koon interjected. "I don't feel that is such a wise idea".
Mace Windu replied. "Then what is your suggestion?"
"That we try a more peaceful approach".
Mace Windu spoke. "Then I would at least like for all the pilots to wait at their stations, but if I give the command, I want them all to begin their attack".
"Ok Master Windu" Obi Wan and Anakin said".
"We will exit Hyperspace in three minutes. I want the pilots to be ready. After we exit hyperspace, don't do anything until I give the word".
Anakin then spoke. "In the chance they are hostile, I suggest a small task force be landed on the planet".
Mace Windu responded. "Very well then, you and your padawan may lead the task force to capture the most critical point, wherever that may be".
Obi Wan then asked a question "what kind of defenses do we think they have?"
Mace Windu replied. "They are a backwards planet, aside from the Weapon. We do not have any signs of any colonies. I feel if that's the case, as long as the Unknown Weapon isn't used, their defense shouldn't really matter. Since they haven't achieved much of space travel, they probably only have some aircrafts, but it is critical that we control the skies, so that we can end the Weapon before It is a threat".
After that, the holograms began to shut off. Anakin began to contact the rest of the Ships under his command.
"This is General Anakin Skywalker to all Ships under my command. I want all pilots to be prepared to exit their Venators on my command. We expect to exit hyperspace in around three minutes. I want all ship captains to connect to my secondary Holoprojector.
Three minutes later, the Republic fleet exited Hyperspace.
MmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmM
Area 51, Communications room
A communications officer looked over at one of the computers, when suddenly, a large number of dots began popping up. The Officer grabbed the nearest phone, and put in the emergency Number for Grant. Thirty seconds later. Grant was there.
"General, a large alien fleet has gathered on the far side of the moon".
"Contact them" Grant said.
A engineer typed some buttons, causing the large screen in the room to show a man in some tan robes.
"I am General Grant, who do I have the pleasure of talking to?".
"I am General Windu of the Grand Army of the Republic. I would like to ask for your surrender of your planet and your military".
"I am sorry General Windu, but that is not possible. I suggest that you leave this system and let us be. We did nothing against you". General Grant countered.
"Did you attack our scout ship?".
"I am sorry General, but I have no idea what you are talking about".
"You will regret not telling me the truth" Windu said. Looking away from the projector, he continued "send in the Fighters".
The screen switched off, leaving Grant in silence.
"Sir, we have found a way to hack into their system. Would you like for me to put in your watch?"
"Yes please. How long will it take for you to get into their system?"
Typing on his computer for a couple seconds, he continued "you should be able to get into it… about now".
"Sir" one of the people at the computers said. "A large number of small crafts are leaving their ships. We estimate there are over a thousand crafts, and we estimate they will arrive in 10 minutes.".
Another person interjected "They have destroyed our radar Satelite, now we won't know how many there are!"
Grant looked at his watch and pressed some buttons. He then spoke to the watch. "Tell all civilian planes to land immediately at the nearest airport". After that, he pressed a couple more buttons. "Tell all the leaders around the world to start launching their fighters. I want every usable fighter plane in the air. I don't care if it was created five years ago or in used in World War Two, get it up there! There will be a large air battle coming up, and I need every plane to be in position to defend. Be prepared for anything. I want every anti-air battery to come online. I want every land soldier to get ready to defend their homes and cities in any way possible. I expect they may begin landings within the hour".
Grant looked at his watch, hoping he wouldn't have to make this decision again. He wanted peace, but the Republic wanted war. Let's hope this was the right decision, Grant thought. He then pressed the red button on the screen of his watch, sending ten hydrogen bomb at the newly arrived aliens.
10 Minutes The screen said, talking about when the Nuclear Bombs will hit the ships.
Ten Ships Grant though. Hopefully they will sue for peace after that.
Within five minutes, 60% of the earth's fighters were in the air. Within the next five minutes, the number rose to 80%, and half of the civilian planes had landed, the rest either trying to land, or too far away.
MmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmM
Five Minutes after the Nukes were launched, Plo Koon
"General" one of the nearby clones said. "We have incoming missiles, they will arrive within Five minutes. One of them is aimed at us!"
"How many are being aimed at us?"
"Only one at us, but there are a number of other ships being targeted".
"By the force" Plo Koon said. "Evacuate the Ships the missiles are aimed at. No time to delay". Plo Koon then motioned for all the clones to leave there station, and they all began running to the Escape Pods. Plo Koon and the rest of the clones on the ship all got into the Escape Pods just in time, with the ship blowing up in a spectacular way. Plo Koon saw the escape Pods from the other ships under his command all being launched, and the destruction of Nine other Venators.
"By the Force, that is most definitely a powerful weapon". Plo Koon said, looking out at the destroyed ships. Pulling out his comlink, Plo Koon contacted Obi Wan.
MmmmmmmmM
Obi Wan, thirty seconds earlier.
Having heard that Plo Koons ships were being evacuated, Obi Wan watched, hoping that the Jedi would survive. Then it all happened.
One by one, the ships were being hit, large fireballs enveloping them all, splitting five, destroying four, and vaporizing one. Sensing that Plo was ok, Obi Wan sighed in relief. Having remembered the leader from the planet offer peace before the battle even started, Obi Wan wondered how wise it was to attack.
MmmmmmmmmmmmmM
The skies above New York City, Twenty Jet Fighters faced off against 50 Alien crafts, each alien craft having six wings.
David watched as his group flew off against the aliens, heading towards them at two times the speed of sound.
It all happened so quickly. Just a couple minutes ago he was having a video chat with his children, then three minutes later, he was suiting up to help defend the whole of New York against an alien invasion.
"Switching to missiles now". David told to the pilots under his command.
"Firing missiles". David pressed a red switch and a missile began to fly out of his ship, along with the other ships launching a missile each. The missiles all flew in perfect unison, twenty of them straight toward the alien ships. Eight of the missiles made direct hits, causing a number of alien fighters to erupt into fireballs. The other alien fighters dodged the missiles, not realizing the missiles had turned back around and were heading back toward their rear. Eleven of those missiles hit their targets, with four of the fighters crashing into some of their fellow fighters. The final one flew past the fighter and ran out of fuel, causing it to fall into one of the many skyscrapers. The battle of New York had barely started, and the Aliens had already lost nearly half of their fighters. As the jets got closer, they began to switch their weapon to guns. Firing their bullets at the aliens cause another seven fighters to go down. As the jets got within firing range of the aliens, the aliens began sending volley after volley of lasers at the jet fighters, causing one jet, noticing the lasers a little too late, to get a hole in its wing, sending it plummeting down into the Hudson River. The other jet fighters saw this, and after a silent vow of revenge, the Jets fired another Round of missiles at the Aliens. After the missiles hit their targets, only two alien fighters remained. The jet leader decided to contact them.
"Bravo Squadron, I will request for them to surrender. Unless I give the word, I order you to stand down". After that, the flight leader began to scroll through channels until he found the Aliens Channel. While he was doing that, he flew his Jet Fighter alongside theirs.
"Alien Fighters" he said. "I suggest you stand down or be destroyed". The two remaining fighter pilots looked at each other across the sky, with the closest one responding "We surrender".
MmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmM
Battles varied across the world, but in most of them, the Republic had lost most of its fighters. For the battles that the Republic did win, they were soon destroyed or surrendered to a nearby squadron coming to help defend against the Aliens. The battle for the air was a win, but the fighters of Earth were too distracted to keep the Troop Transports from landing, and a large number landed in Nevada, at Area 51, being led by none other than General Anakin Skywalker himself".
MmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmM
"And I thought Tatooine was a wasteland". Anakin said to no one.
Ashoka spoke "Its ok Master, I'm sure this battle will be finished quickly. The fighters probably already have control of the air. All we have to do is find their base and…".
"Sir" Captain Rex said. "I regret to inform you that the fighters have taken serious casualties. The rest have surrendered. General Windu wants you to retreat now".
"Their Information must be wrong. Why would we surrender. There must be trying to hack us. let's continue heading toward the base".
The Clones and Jedi cautiously continued on their trek.
Anakin's Holo projector began beeping. He answered it.
"This is General Skywalker". A 2D image appeared of a man in a green coat.
"Hello General Skywalker, I am General Grant, and I see you have decided to land on this planet. You see, I will not let you leave, at least not yet. I will give you the chance to surrender and your soldiers will be given all they could possibly need, food, shelter, and more. But I only ask one thing. That you stop your march".
"Thank you for your kind words General, but I feel that it is in the best interests of my soldiers and myself, and your planet, that you surrender ".
"I am sorry you have chosen that decision. When the war comes to you, I feel that you will be wanting to surrender. And If you interpreted what I said as an offer, you must be wrong. You are not leaving, and…" Grant looked down at his watch and pressed something. "Your transport engines currently are disabled. I gave you the chance to surrender peacefully, but when you do surrender, you know who to call, and I highly suggest you halt your advance".
Anakin sent a clone to check if the engines are actually broken, and after confirming they have been tampered, the clone returned to tell the news.
Immediately Anakin called Obi Wan.
"Ashoka and I are trapped down here. We need assistance now. Our entire landing crafts have faulty engines".
"I'm sorry Anakin, but we are in a crisis up here too. Our Hyperdrives have been tampered with. We can't seem to connect to them. We are unable to leave the system. We too are trapped. Every single ship in our task force has been hijacked. You need to go and disable whatever is causing this. Wait, this can't be right. Someone is trying to contact me".
At that, the hologram disappeared, and Anakin was determined to go and find this General Grant and His base. He left his transport, and got all the troops together, and began walking toward the Military Base.
MmmmmmmmmmmmmmmM
Grant, Area 51
"Hello There" Obi Wan said to the man in the Green Coat, over his Two Dimensional Projection.
"Hello, I am General Grant, defending the planet you see in front of you. Who are you?".
"It is good to make your acquaintance, General Grant. I am General Kenobi of the Republic".
"You are probably wondering why I am contacting you, General. You see, I am asking for your surrender".
"I fail to see the reason why we should surrender to you". Kenobi said, surprising Grant.
"General Kenobi, do you by any chance know how your fighters are doing?". Grant asked.
"I am sure they are currently in control of the skies, probably much to your annoyance".
"I don't think that is the case. Your fighters have been decimated, and those that haven't been destroyed, surrendered". We currently have just a hundred of your pilots all around the world, being locked up, because of the decision your Republic made. We don't know why you attacked, but we will defend ourselves to the fullest extent possible". Obi Wan saw Grant look down, at what seems to be a holo watch, and he pressed some buttons on it. "You have thirty minutes to surrender, or we turn off your ships life support, which, you should be able to last for another 15 minutes".
The bottom of the holo projector began showing a countdown timer, starting at thirty minutes.
Grant continued. "If you were by any chance wondering why your hyperdrives were unusable, I suggest you think about what would happen if you don't surrender. We have total control over your ship. To simply prove to you that we do, try firing a weapon. When you wish to discuss the terms, you know who to contact, and so I don't have to repeat myself, please inform your other Generals of what we are willing to do. I can promise you one thing, though. Your soldiers will be treated well".
The projector turned off, leaving Obi Wan to think of what just happened. He then called Master Windu and Koon to tell them of the recent development.
MmmmmmmmmmmmmM
Anakin continued marching across the desert, knowing that the base was around five minutes away. The clones normally marched happily for the Republic, but something was off today. There was a rumor going around that they had no air support, which meant they wouldn't be able to call on anybody to help.
Suddenly, a loud whirring noise could be heard, but from far away. It seemed to be getting closer by the second. Soon, It was clearly visible. Gunship with some kind of thing on the top traveling fast enough to form a circle. Then a couple more were seen coming, then within thirty seconds, there were 15 beginning to get within firing range. Anakin then spoke to Rex.
"We'll go and take out those things, you guys continue heading towards the base".
Anakin and Ahsoka then prepared to jump onto one of the natives gunships, when they noticed something. The force claimed the gunship didn't exist, nor the soldiers who were visibly on it. Now they realized, there didn't seem to be any person on this planet.
Then a voice was heard from the natives, obviously amplified by something.
"We suggest you surrender, or we will fire on you. You will all be treated well, and be given all you need".
Realizing he couldn't make a plan, considering the Force wouldn't tell him anything about the natives, Anakin decided to do what was best for his men.
"We surrender" Anakin said. Realizing it wasn't loud enough, he amplified his voice with the Force, and said "We surrender".
After saying that, Ten of the Fifteen helicopters landed, and dropped off their soldiers. Around 30 soldiers got out, surrounding the clones.
One of the soldiers then said in a loud voice "put your hands on your head, and drop all weapons".
All the clones put down their weapons, and put their hands on there head, and the soldiers and clones made the short trek to Area 51, which was already within viewing distance.
One of the soldiers, which had attacked Grievous weeks before, recognised the laser swords held by the two Jedi.
"Hey" the soldier said, looking at Anakin and Ashoka. "Hand over your weapons".
Ashoka looked up at Anakin, who nodded, both knowing what was to come next, but not realizing just how powerful of an enemy they are facing.
The Jedi jumped and grabbed their lightsabers from their belt and after turning them on, Ahsoka tried to slice through one of the soldiers, but the other soldiers quickly realized what was happening and shot at the Jedi, and mainly their weapons. Ahsoka's lightsaber had a clean hole shot through it, shorting it out before it could do any harm. At the same time, Anakin tried to force push the soldiers away, but it didn't work. Then Anakin was shot at, and raised his lightsaber to deflect a supposed incoming bullet, but the bullet was flying so fast, it didn't have time to dissolve, throwing a molten piece of led at Anakin's arm, causing him to drop his lightsaber in pain. The Helicopters that were in the air, aimed their weapons at the aliens, incase anyone else wanted to resist.
The base was called, and a couple of tanks rolled up, along with a stretcher for Anakin.
Anakin was rushed to get treatment at the Area 51 infirmary.
The other soldiers, still weary of Ahsoka, put her in handcuffs.
The base, about three minutes away, was walked in silence, the clones not knowing what will happen next.
MmmmmmmmmmmmmmM
Grant watched from his screen as the Aliens who landed were escorted to a cafeteria. He never asked for Earth to be attacked, and since he is under the UN, he has to follow the laws over Prisoners of War. The fact that the alien General rebelled didn't surprise him. He knew it the second he met him. But that was in the past. Suddenly, a sound could be heard from his watch, a call.
Grant accepted it, showing Generals Kenobi and Windu.
"Hello General Grant. After careful discussion, we surrender. We only ask that you don't kill anyone unnecessarily".
Grant responded. "I believe we can go through with that. Because this is a surrender, we will have to discuss many things, such as shelter, food…"
Obi Wan thought about what Grant was saying, feeling as though he had said that to someone else before…
"I ask that you generals delegate someone to meet with me and land at the coordinates I will give you. And to let you know, we will not mistreat either you or your soldiers, though a certain Anakin did rebel and is currently in the infirmary".
The Jedi were shocked. "Is he alright?" Obi Wan asked.
"He'll be fine, it may take him a week to recover though, he just got scraped a little".
"Why is he in the infirmary if he was scraped?" Mace Windu asked.
"He was scraped by a molten piece of metal at two times the speed of sound. For some reason, he thought his laser sword could defend against it" Grant said, not realizing the impact his statement had on the effectiveness of lightsabers.
After the shock subsided. The Jedi nodded at each other.
"We have decided that Kenobi will go down and meet with you" Mace Windu said.
Wondering how they decided that without speaking, Grant then sent the coordinates to Obi Wan.
"In the meantime, I will not allow you to send any signals to your Republic until I decide you can. The process shouldn't take long. Except for your delegate, the rest of you may remain in space if you wish. If you need to land, go to these coordinates.
Grant then typed in some coordinates and sent them to the Alien fleet.
"General Kenobi, you may land at these coordinates. Please power off your weapon as you descend to the planet".
After that, Obi Wan Kenobi entered a transport, and began flying down towards Area 51.
So if you somehow made it to the end of the chapter, First, Congrats, this chapter is the longest I've made, and Two things.
One, if you have any suggestion, please PM me or put them on a review
Second, I want to put it up to a vote as to what Earths name should be in the future, because I'm stuck between just Earth, or Terran something. Please PM me your idea as to what The United Earth should be called, at least in a Galactic sense. When I post the next chapter, I will tally up the votes and say it then, unless no one votes.
—UPDATE : I also want to add if you have a suggestion for a name other than the ones mentioned above, please send those also. And one more thing, I looked it up, Terra is Earth in Latin—
