And I'm back with another chapter of Remnant Unleashed. Sorry for the wait, I've been a little busy with the new part of my job I have been doing. Sure, it's only three days in the morning and the other two days I work afternoon to night, often getting out at midnight, but it's a hell of a lot better than doing night shifts and not getting enough sleep.

Anyway, I hope you all gave your dad a Father's Day to remember. I'll admit, it was a little sad for me and my loved ones since my grandfather passed and especially my dad since both his parents passed away several years ago. I know I speak for everyone when I say that losing family that you love will never go away and it while it gets easier to go day-by-day after the loose, it makes one want to cry.

Anyway, this will be the last chapter before I send Galen back to Remnant so he can help out Ruby and her friends on the planet, so I'm going to try and make this one as good as possible.

Onto the reviews.

Luffy L Deathwalker: Thanks for the condolence and I'd figure I would use GI Joe call back. I like that series and I plan on seeing the Snake Eyes movie, so before you say anything, Snake Eyes did speak if you had watched GI Joe Renegades like I did.

Jack Smith1: I wouldn't go that far, but there will be clones working with the rebellion, seeing as they have removed their inhibitor chips. However, don't expect them to be the primary fighting force for Rebellion.

Mr. Shades42: You never know what might happen.

54godamora: I'm sorry your grandfather passed away eight years ago, I sure he's proud of who you are today. I've been into Azur Lane for a while now, there is just something about it that I like, I don't know what but it does give me an idea for a possible crossover involving my favorite version of Starscream. Now in regards to Tyrian being replaced, I'm not one hundred percent sure of who will replace him and don't know of a Star Wars character who's as crazy or bloodthirsty as Tyrian.

Monster King: Thank you.

Chaotic Skunk Demon: You know, that does sound like a good idea. A curved hilt lightsaber like the one Dooku had for Pyrrha might actually be a good choice for her. You never know what might happen later on.

Darth Cody: For another chapter, but Pyrrha will be appearing when I reach A New Hope.

Galen Marek, the guest: Yes, Galen was cloned after he died, but Starkiller, the Clone of him won't be appearing. I'll admit, it would be cool, but that won't be happening.

Alright, reviews are done, lets get this chapter started. Disclaimers are the same as before, so please enjoy.

Also, for us Bad Batch fans, he's back.

Chapter 44: Kamino

"What do you mean the target is Kamino? There's nothing of value on that planet. The cloning facilities were all destroyed when the Empire attacked the planet eleven years ago." Kota questioned.

Everyone on the bridge of the Enterprise was dead quiet as the 8th fleet, plus rebel and anti-trooper ships traveled through hyperspace towards the Tobali System where the rest of the anti-troopers and their forces were already waiting. Flint then cleared his throat before he explained. "It's exactly as I said, General. The Empire is using Kamino for some kind of unknown purpose. Intel suggests it's some kind of cloning project in Timira city while Tipoca City has been turned into a training facility for the Empire's new aquatic Stormtrooper legions for underwater warfare. We're not certain about Timira City, but we have confirmation of Tipoca City has been turned into a training facility."

The Anti-Trooper leader soon typed a few keys on the holoprojector and brought up the aquatic planet with the two locations marked in red. "These troopers have been trained in underwater warfare and if they complete their training, Mon Calamari, Quarren and Gungan fighters amongst the rebellion won't stand a chance against them, not even your Scuba troopers and whatever is going on at Timira city, it's not something we can ignore." He added.

"Pardon my ignorance, but what is so important about Kamino?" Pyrrha asked.

"Kamino is the planet where the clone army was created prior to the Clone War, it's also the closest thing we clones have to a home planet. We take it personal that the empire has taken it from us." A clone in shock trooper armor said in a gruff voice as they walked onto the bridge. "CC-4477, Thire reporting for duty." They said with a salute. Following him were three other shock troopers, all in Phase I clone armor with crimson red stripes and armed with the basic weapons used by the clone army.

"Glad you could make it, Commander." Flint said with a salute. "I'd like you to meet Jek, Rys, Thire and Stone, our commanding officers. We found them in stasis a couple of weeks ago and they've been helping us out with the training of our shinnies." He explained.

"Shinnies?" Pyrrha asked in confusion.

"Rookie troopers who haven't seen actual combat. We may have been breed for combat, but actual combat is a lot different than in the simulator, especially when you see your brothers die beside you." Stone explained, remembering all of his brothers who died during the war and the ones he saw die when Coruscant was attacked.

Thire then cleared his throat before he turned his attention back to the hologram of Kamino. "An informant of ours provided us with all the details regarding the defenses both cities have and a weak point in the enemy fleet guarding the planet. Said they wanted to 'make amends for what they did long ago.' No idea who they are, but it seems they have a great deal of knowledge regarding the internal and external defenses of Tipoca City." he continued, pulling up a display of Tipoca city with all the external defenses marked by red blips. "All Terrain Anti-Aircraft guns, quick-moving, quadrupedal walkers armed with flak pods or concussion missiles. Those flak pods can fire different types of ordnance and have electronic counter-measures which can scramble the guidance systems of missiles."

"So that means AGM's have a chance to miss their target. Well, that stinks!" Ray grumbled as he walked onto the bridge with Bartlett, PJ, the Galm Team, Neo and Team SDOW. "But lucky for us, we have a backup plan." He added, gesturing for R5 to plug into holo-table. The Astromech droid did so and brought up holographic displays of Longswords and Broadswords. "If we can't use missiles, then we'll use bombs. GPD's and XSDB's, they aren't missiles so they should get past the enemy ECM and take out the guns." He explained.

"We'll have the F35's and F22's loaded up with the bombs. Their stealth systems will allow them to slip past the enemy radar undetected. There is only one problem though, we only have enough bombs for one of the targets." Captain Bartlett inputted.

"So, then we'll focus on Tipoca City. We need to cripple the Empire's training of their underwater troopers before they complete their training. As for Timira City, we'll need to get past the guns without using any aircraft." Galen said. "Flint, how many of your men are trained in underwater combat?" he asked.

"We've got several units of troopers trained for underwater combat. Why do you ask?"

"I'll lead the forces to Timira City and find out what the Empire is doing. We'll need to hit both targets at once and catch the enemy of guard. If we focus completely on one target, they'll reinforce the other one. We'll attack the city from the water and slip past their defenses, but we'll need some extra support. We've got a few of those Mere demolition boats from the Maramere that have been modified as troop transports. We use the boats to transport the troops to the city and have the Scuba Troopers escort them and handle anything else that might be in the water." Galen explained.

The others nodded before Kota turned to one of the communications officers. "Send word to command that the 8th fleet will be heading to Kamino to attack an imperial target. Have them ready a few fleets for support, just in case we have bitten off more than we can chew." He instructed. The officer did as instructed, but a report from the other anti-trooper Venators would delay their assault due to the damages they had either sustained in the last battle or were in the process of being repaired.

While the rebels and their new allies readied themselves for the upcoming battle, the informant Thire spoke off began to think about everything they had done after the death of someone they held close to them and decided it was time to head back to the planet where they could start their redemption.

Hours later, the fleet of Rebel, clone and anti-trooper ships dropped out of hyperspace on the dark side of Korasa, the smallest of the three moons orbiting Kamino. Just as their information predicted, a large Imperial fleet was protecting the planet. The fleet consisted of ten Imperial-Class I and Imperial-Class II Star Destroyers and two Gladiator-class carrier/destroyers, along with the fighters and bombers aboard each ship.

While the Rebel ships remained behind the moon, the clone and anti-trooper ships were able to slip past the imperial fleet through the blind spot as mentioned by their informant and landed on the surface, their ventral hanger bays directly above the water by several feet. Crews aboard the ships hurried to finish the checks on the modified demo boats while Scuba Troopers readied their blasters and devilfish subs while the flight crews loaded up the Longswords and Broadswords with the bombs that Trigger mentioned in the briefing. Their weapons-bays were to the brim with all the ordinance they could carry along with air-to-air missiles.

As the soldiers continued to prepare for battle, Galen and Pyrrha were tempted to establish contact with Remnant, but any communications sent off world could be detected by the Empire and make them loose the element of surprise which they didn't need. "So, why did you request to lead the assault on Timira City?" Pyrrha questioned.

"I sensed a powerful disturbance in the force coming from that city. I don't want anyone to get killed needlessly, so while the others deal the primary target, I'll lead the assault on the other target. It's on par with my skills and I don't think even Kota or Plo could handle whatever it is I sensed." Galen answered, leading against one of the parked Hellcats while the others were being prepped for combat. "Thire said that he toured Timira city prior to being put into stasis so he, Jek, Rhys and Stone are coming with us on this one." He added.

"You sensed something off about this whole thing as well?" Trigger said as he and Neo joined the two, both of them dressed in the same ARC-Trooper armor they wore on Dathomir. "Neo and I also sensed something off about this one as well, so we're accompanying you guys as well. The Galm Team, Captain Bartlett and PJ can handle things in the air. Besides, we're more than just pilots, we know our way around a gunfight or fist-fight."

"That and our planes are still damaged from the last battle, so we're officially grounded for the time being." Neo added. "Plus, a few extra lightsabers couldn't hurt." Both Galen and Pyrrha agreed that the points both Garuda pilots made were logical. The sight of the two of them in their ARC-Trooper armor made Pyrrha think about Jaune and her friends back on Remnant.

After several more minutes of perpetrations, the two assault forces were ready to proceed with the operation. The Longswords and Broadswords were launched out of the ships by their catapults, while the aquatic troopers along with Quarren and Mon-Cala soldiers dived into the ocean of the planet as the modified demo boats sailed towards their own target. As for the forces still on the ships, they readied the rest of the fighters, anxiously waiting for the signal to launch while Venators directly landed on the water and while using only twenty-five percent of their engine power made their way towards the cities.

While the 8th fleet and anti-troopers made their way towards the targets on the ground, Kota's fleet waited until their reinforcements arrived before they moved out from the dark side of Kamino's moon and prepared for battle. The reinforcements consisted of four assault frigates, five medical frigates, six medium transports, eight corvettes, one heavy cruiser and two Star Cruisers, along with dozens of fighters, bombers, transports and the captured Imperial cruisers from Naboo.

"General Kota to all personal, commence the attack!" the general ordered to the fleet. Fighters and bombers departed from the rebel fleet and began their attack on the imperial fleet. By the time the Empire figured out what was going on, two enemy cruisers were destroyed with all personal onboard before the rest of imperial fleet scrambled to counter the rebel attack.

(Start Juggernaut)

X-Wings, Z-95's, V-Wings, N-1's, Cutlass 9's, R-41's and R-22's moved to engage the incoming enemy fighters as H-60 Tempest, clone and rebel versions of the Y-Wing streaked towards the Gladiator-class Destroyers which started to open up with their arsenals of light-turbo lasers, point-defense cannons and concussion missiles, sending up anti-aircraft barrage that knocked out several rebel bombers but the rest continued towards the cruisers.

As the bombers got closer to the target, a concentrated barrage of Ion cannon fire from the Tempest bombers slammed into the enemy ships, shorting out their shields and weapon systems long enough for the bombers to drop their proton bombs and completely annihilate them with a one-two punch. The bombers pulled up from their run and quickly headed back towards the fleet. The explosions of the two destroyers showed the Empire that the rebels weren't playing around and continued to counter the rebel fleet and called for reinforcements from Tipoca city.

Dozens of TIE fighters and TIE bombers launched from the Imperial base below quickly joined the fight and loses on both sides were beginning to mount. A group of four TIE fighters were on a direct path towards the bridge of the Salvation only to be downed by several anti-trooper ARC-170's while a squad of enemy bombers dropped their payloads onto several CR-90 corvettes. The corvettes exploded into space dust, pieces of their wrecks surprisingly getting in the path of several unsuspecting imperial fighters which were also turned into space dust.

Turbo Laser and Ion Cannon fire from the captured rebel Star Destroyers along with the refurbished Venators slammed into one of the imperial ships, destroying it in a massive explosion that caught several enemy support craft in the blast wave, but for each imperial ship destroyed another two rebel ships were destroyed and loses were beginning to mount.

Enemy bombers were quick to slip past the barrage of point-defense laser fire from one of the MC-80 Star Cruisers and dropped their payloads on the ship, knocking out its shields before they circled in for another attack run, dead set on destroying the ship. Thankfully, Red Squadron was able to down the enemy bombers before they could destroy the cruiser. "Keep on that pressure! Divert the enemy fighters and bombers away from the ships and focus on us!" Garven shouted over the commlink, pushing his X-Wing's four Incom 4L4 Fusial thrust engines to full power and dived after several enemy fighters with Wedge and Biggs as his wing-man. The three X-Wing's downed the formation of enemy fighters.

"Red Leader this is Gold Leader. We've got an enemy destroyer heading for the surface! We're moving to intercept!" Dutch called over the commlink. His squadron of Y-Wings veered towards the imperial ship heading for the surface, bombarding it with proton bombs and utterly destroying it before it had the chance to slip away from the battle.

Amongst the enemy forces, boarding craft latched onto to the rebel ships blocking anymore rebel fighters from launching into battle and deploying dozens of Stormtroopers onto the rebel ships. Rebel flight crews were gunned down by the enemy boarders, but not before they sounded the alarm. "Imperial Troops have boarded the Salvation! All personal, prepare to repel the enemy!"

Rebel and imperial marines soon began to exchange fire with one another as they fought for control of the hangers of the Salvation, the rebel fighters still inside the hanger were used as cover by both sides as they fought for control of the hanger, only for the rebels to be pushed back as several AT-MP's unleashed their missiles at the rebel forces, killing them and destroying several of the fighters being used for cover.

"We need rocket launchers!" a marine shouted, ducking down behind a piece of a wrecked Y-Wing, loading a fresh powerpack into their blaster before the imperial walker unleashed its missiles, killing the marine and several of their comrades. The walker's chaingun then roared to life cutting down several more rebel marines and destroying a few fighters before several marines armed HH-15 rocket launchers arrived on the upper levels of the Salvation's hanger bay and fired their launchers at the enemy walkers and the clamps of the boarding craft. The rockets destroyed both targets, reopening the hangers and allowing several Y-Wings from below deck to launch into the raging battle.

(End song)

Back below on the planet surface, the Broadswords and Longswords launched from the Enterprise and other 8th fleet Venators drew nearer and nearer towards Tipoca City. Flying at wave top level to avoid detection by enemy radar, the fingers of the pilots were poised to drop their payloads onto the Imperial AA defenses, ready to kick off the ground assault. As they neared the target, explosions from the space battle above them broke through the clouds along with the debris from several wrecked ships.

A piece of an Imperial cruisers starboard engine splashed down in the water directly in front of the pilots, forcing them to evade water cloud. More pieces of debris splashed down in the water around them as the pilots had their target in sight. The Broadsword pilots then climbed to five-thousand feet while the Longsword pilots climbed to two-thousand feet and readied their weapons. Switching to bombs, the stealth aircraft locked onto their targets and before the imperial forces knew what hit them, the pilots dropped their payloads and pulled away from their attack run, their ordinance exploding on impact and destroying a majority of the AA guns.

From a distance, the Venators saw the explosions and followed Halberton's instructions and adjusted the angles of their modified turbo lasers, which much like the cannons of the Remnant fighters and buggies were turned into hybrid type cannons, these ones modified with the same mass-driver cannon used by the SPHA artillery walkers. "Longsword and Broadswords have sent the targeting data on the enemy emplacements still intact, Admiral!" one of the naval officers reported.

"All batteries, open fire!" Halberton shouted and the mass driver cannons unleashed their mighty payload.

(Graphite/Diamond starts)

High-velocity projectiles rocketed towards the imperial occupied city, slamming dead center into their targets, the imperial fighters still on the surface and preparing to launch a counter attack. The fighters exploded into pieces killing everyone close to them, but some of them were able to launch and were on a direct course for the Enterprise and the rest of the 8th fleet. Lucky for the 8th, the main hanger opened up allowing the Scimitars, Daggers, Strike Daggers, Hellcats and gunships rocketed out of the open hanger and towards Tipoca city.

The gunships, full of clones shook in the skies as enemy fire erupted all around them. Some of the gunships were hit by flak and went down into the drink, but the rest of gunships continued towards Tipoca city despite the number of enemy AA weapons still operational. Luckily for those aboard the gunships, the cannons of the Enterprise, Hornet, Yorktown, Belfast, Repulse, Laffey and Hamman rained down on the emplacements still.

Several AT-ST's positioned on several landing pads launched several concussion missiles towards the incoming gunships but before the missiles could hit the gunships, they veered off target, drawn to the chaff and flares launched from the various Remnant aircraft allowing the gunships to launch their missiles at the enemy walkers, spending the wrecks toppling over into the sea below.

Hellcats dropped their own bombs on several enemy units, killing multiple imperial personal while the Remnant fighter jets streaked towards the imperial fighters heading towards their allies. "All pilots, keep the ground forces and gunships covered. Take out anything that gets in their path! Hellcat pilots, designate targets for the naval bombardment, but keep in mind of the target's location to our allies! The last thing we need is friendly fire." Mickey shouted into the radio, before he picked out a couple of TIE fighters and sped after them. He was quickly joined by the Galm Team and PJ, who decided to keep him covered.

The four pilots watched as mass-driver rounds from the Belfast slammed into one of the cities landing pads, the power of the rounds forced the landing pad to snap and fall into the sea, along with the imperial forces on said platform. A formation of TIE fighters that hadn't been ordered to partake in the space battle shot through the air on a direct course for the ships. "We've got fighters going for the fleet. Cipher, Pixy, PJ, lets kick their asses and send them to the drink!" he ordered, breaking into a hard left turn with PJ while the Galm Team broke hard right.

The four planes streaked towards their ships as point-defense laser fire lit the sky up. "Belfast actual, this is Mickey, we're on station to provide air cover, check your fire or you'll be shooting down your allies!" he shouted to the gunnery crews who were quick relay the order to the other gunners who check their fire. Mickey let out a sigh of relief before he launched two his XLAA's at two enemy fighters going for the bridge of the Hamman. His two missiles sent the enemy fighters to a watery grave, but before he could celebrate his victory, green laser cannon fire zipped past his cockpit. Craning his neck, the ex-mercenary pilot spotted his attacker, a TIE fighter.

Breaking left to avoid the cannon fire, Mickey was surprised to see the enemy craft followed in an identical turn. "This guy seems to know a thing or two about sticking to an enemies' tail." Mickey noted as a few blasts hit his planes shields. His shields held strong as the enemy pilot stayed glued to his tail like a Grimm drawn to negative emotions. Mickey soon spotted his chance to turn the tables on his enemy.

Slamming on his breaks, Mickey nearly went into a stall as the enemy fighter shot past him and made its way into his gunsights. A quick pull of the trigger riddled the enemy fighter with bullets, sending it spiraling down to the ocean below. "That's one less imperial pilot to deal with." He chuckled before veering back towards the battle.

(End song)

As the battle for Tipoca city continued to rage, many miles away at Timira City, Thire, Jek, Stone and Rys scanned yet another corridor of the city for any sign of imperial soldiers but found nothing. The ex-Coruscant Guard commander gave a hand single and motioned for the troopers behind them to move up.

The formation of rebel and clone soldiers moved up with Galen and Pyrrha taking point as they joined up with the lead clones. Thire knew the layout of Timira City, having been sent here on an 'off the records mission' by Palpatine shortly before the Battle of Coruscant, the details of this mission were classified to him and his squad back then, but the trooper had a feeling there was a lot more to the mission then he was told.

"I don't like it, it's too quiet here." Thire stated, scanning another corridor for any signs of imperial activity but found nothing. "There should at least be a security detail or even a garrison guarding this place, but we haven't seen other bucketheads aside from the ones at the boat docks."

"Perhaps the imperials are laying a trap for us. They might have anticipated an attack on this facility and positioned their forces in an area where they know they can outnumber us. You said that Tipoca City was where the Clone army was produced during the war, but didn't the Kaminoan's have other facilities to create more of your brothers, Commander?" Pyrrha asked.

"I'm not entirely sure. General Shaak Ti primarily oversaw the training of the new troops in Tipoca City and I don't think the Kaminoan's gave her or the Republic the locations of any other cities where they were producing clones." Thire answered as the force continued through the city unopposed, but that changed when the rebel and clone forces saw something they never thought they would see.

What they found was a large cloning facility full of vats containing clones of an unknown individual. "The Empire… is cloning soldiers? I thought they abandoned the use of clone soldiers twelve years ago!" Stone exclaimed in shock.

"It doesn't make sense. What's the Empire creating here?" Ray asked as he checked one of the terminals for anything important. "I can't make heads or tails of this science stuff. Anyone know what this means?"

Neo was about to answer the clone in one of the vats smashed against the glass and startled the group who trained their blasters on the vat. Much to their surprise, the figure in the vat was an exact copy of Galen. "What the hell?"

"They're… all clones of me…" Galen said in shock. Moving to the terminal that Ray was checking, he found his answer. "Vader… He was trying to clone me. He wanted to use my power to destroy the rebellion he had me create. He must have used my DNA to create these clones."

"Well, it looks like these clones aren't you. If I'm reading this Aurebesh right, these clones are flawed." Pyrrha stated, reading the data on the terminal. "All these clones have not only been grown using an accelerated process of some sorts, but have also been driven insane because of the memory implants and identity crisis. It looks as if some of them haven't gone insane and had their training overseen by Vader. One individual in particular seems to have great potential, but it doesn't say anything about what they meant for and it looks like Vader shutdown the project months ago, around the time… when he learned you were alive." She explained.

"I've got a feeling that whatever I sensed was coming from somewhere in the city and it's that individual you mentioned." Galen replied, sensing a strong presence in the dark side coming from somewhere in the city. Suddenly, the doors on the other side of the room opened up and a squadron of Stormtroopers immediately opened fire on the group, forcing them to take cover behind the consoles. "We've been lured into a trap!" he snarled, igniting his lightsabers and started to deflect the enemy blaster fire.

Pyrrha, Thire, Jek, Rys, Ray, Neo and Stone along with the rest of the troopers were quick return fire, but much to their surprise, the clones of Galen shattered the glass of their vats and emerged from stasis. Roaring with a primal animal rage, the clones of Galen saw their host and charged towards him, leaving Pyrrha and the others to contend with the Stormtroopers.

Some of the flawed clones used the force, ripped off parts of the wall and sent the parts flying towards Galen who was forced to jump out of the way. Some of the flying bits of wall slammed into the imperial soldiers, but the Imperial forces just kept their attention on Pyrrha and the others.

"Galen!" Pyrrha shouted.

"Don't worry about me! Just find a way to shut this place down! I'll deal with my 'brothers'!" he exclaimed quickly parrying a strike from one of the flawed clones' lightsabers, slashing it across the torso and killing it. "Ok, this is just a little too weird. I just killed myself."

The other clones ran at him, some using the force and others brandishing lightsabers, forcing Galen to block and attack his opponents. The aberrant clones continued to encircle Galen despite their numbers being reduced with every one killed. As if things were bad enough, more Imperial soldiers arrived and were starting to push Pyrrha and the others back out of the facility. "Damn it!" he cursed.

Galen then had an idea. Calling on the force, he used a mind trick on the clones either sending them to their deaths or forcing them to turn on the Imperial forces. Caught of guard, the imperials were quick to turn their blasters on the clones killing many of them before they themselves were killed.

Galen smirked, reaching out and grabbing a couple of empty and broken vats which he then sent flying towards both his clones and the imperial forces. "Push forward! The Empire has probably already sounded the alarm, which means reinforcements are on the way! We've got to destroy this place! Thire, you're in command! I'll head to the top and see what I can find, if you encounter any more clones of myself, don't hold anything back they're dangerous!" he shouted.

"Sir yes sir!" Thire replied before he led the others past the dead stormtroopers and flawed clones towards the central building where the command center was located while Galen headed towards the door in the direction of the disturbance he sensed.

(Diary of Jane starts)

Blasting through one of the other doors, Galen used the force to guide him towards his objective. It wasn't without its complications as he found his way blocked by dozens and dozens of Stormtroopers, Jumptroopers and Imperial snipers waiting for him in the parade ground just ahead. A sniper took aim at Galen and fired, forcing the young Jedi to deflect the shots back towards the snipers on the observation deck, some of them falling to their deaths.

The Jumptroopers quickly opened up with their blasters, but a blast of lightning from Galen short-circuited the jet-packs, sending them spiraling out of control before they exploded. Blaster fire from the Stormtroopers kept Galen on the defensive as Imperial Riot Troopers charged towards Galen with their electrostaffs crackling with energy.

One riot trooper managed to get behind Galen and hit him in the back with their staff, causing Galen a brief bit of pain but he quickly blasted the enemy soldier back with a powerful Force push and sent them slamming into the wall, breaking their neck. Other troopers charged in much like their fallen comrade, but they to shared the same fate as their comrade, only they were electrocuted by powerful blast of lightning that arced through one trooper to another.

As the riot troopers fell to the ground, the troopers manning the heavy laser cannons above him opened fire, forcing Galen to dodge the blasts before they hit. Another gunner fired a couple of shots, taking out not Galen but several of their own men who failed to notice where the lasers were going to hit. "Check your fire! You're hitting your own men!" a trooper shouted before they lost their head to Galen's blue blades.

Galen slashed down several more Stormtroopers but couldn't advance any further since the turrets were still firing down at him and the remaining Jumptroopers continued to shoot at him from the air. "I've got to take out those turrets, but I don't have any explosives." He said to himself. Then, he remembered what happened when he electrocuted a few Jumptroopers. Leaping into the air, he unleashed an arc of lighting towards one Jumptrooper, causing their jetpack to short-circuit but this time he grabbed the Jumptrooper with the force and threw them towards one of the guns. The jetpack then exploded, killing both the trooper and the gunner of the turret. The dead gunners body hit the controls of the gun, turning it towards several other turrets before it blasted the guns to smithereens before it was destroyed.

Landing back on the ground, he found himself surrounded by Imperial soldiers with their blasters trained directly on him. Not willing to risk a prolonged fight, Galen called upon the force and channeled his energy inwards before violently pushing it outward, unleashing a powerful telekinetic explosion that disintegrated the troopers surrounding him, leaving no trace of them as if they never existed.

Galen didn't waste anytime in dashing towards the door ahead of him, blasting it open with the force as he continued towards the origin point of the disturbance he felt. Again, he came face to face with more of the flawed clones of himself. Without even a second thought, Galen charged towards the flawed clones and engaged them in a battle with their lightsabers, cutting down multiple clones. His thoughts turned to Ruby who he knew was probably going after Cinder by now or had already caught up with her in the six months he'd been away from Remnant. "I will make it back to Remnant and Ruby. I will not falter. I will return to her." he said to himself, slashing down more of the flawed clones.

Using the Jedi Mind trick again, he influenced several of the deranged clones to jump out of the window to their deaths while the others were cut down by his blue blades before they knew what hit them. "It's close, I can feel it." He said, boarding a nearby lift and taking it to the top of the spire.

(End song)

As Galen made his way to the top, Pyrrha, Thire, Ray, Neo and the rest of the men were relieved to hear over the commlink that Tipoca City had been secured and reinforcements were on their way to Timira City to back them up. Unfortunately, it would be some time before they arrived.

As such, the battalion would have to handle the situation on their own for the time being, but that would be easier said then done, especially considering that the platoon Pyrrha, Ray and Neo were leading was pinned down in another Parade ground by three AT-ST's that had already killed several of their men. "Ray! Neo! Take those walkers down! We'll keep you covered!" Pyrrha shouted, firing her blaster rifle at one of the walkers, distracting it from the two Garuda Team pilots.

"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Ray asked his adoptive sister, gesturing to two of the heavy laser turrets above them. Neo smirked under her helmet and agreed, dashing towards the wall with him before they fired their ascension cables into the wall and scaled it as fast as they could. They didn't go unnoticed, as several Stormtroopers above them who were trying to get the guns online noticed them and were quick to start shooting at the two of them, only for some of them to be gunned down by the duo. "I wish Rex and Ahsoka were here to see this!" Ray exclaimed as he fired back at the imperials with one of his pistols, killing a few of them.

Neo followed suit with her own pistols and took out a few troopers herself before they scrambled over the top and downed the remaining imperial troopers before they took control of the guns and turned them on the imperial walkers. A barrage of heavy laser rounds slammed into two of the walkers, destroying two of them but the third one took notice of them and fired several concussion grenades at the guns, forcing the two of them to jump clear just as the guns exploded.

Lucky for them, Pyrrha took the advantage and brought out her lightsaber to slice one of the legs of the scout walker, which then tumbled to the ground allowing one of the troopers that was still alive to pop the hatch open and toss a grenade into the walker, destroying it from the inside.

The group soon continued their way towards the central cloning facility and like the previous facility, found that the cloning vats were all full of flawed clones of Galen, waiting for disposal. The sheer number of these flawed clones made the troopers wonder if the Empire had some other plan for them. Not wanting to find out what that plan would be, Thire gave the order for the rest of the troopers to place explosives on the cloning tanks and to destroy any traces of Galen's DNA that the empire had.

The troopers were quick to begin placing explosives just as more imperial troopers arrived from the other side the cloning facility and started to open fire on the troops. Thankfully, friendly reinforcements arrived led by Kota and a fire-fight erupted. Blocking blaster fire with his saber, Kota dashed forwards towards several imperial soldiers, cutting them down as Rys laid down some covering fire for the troops planting the explosives.

Jek than moved up with his rotary blaster armed and ready. "Okay bucket heads, suck laser!" he shouted, unleashing a barrage of blue blaster fire towards the incoming imperial forces, mowing down several of them before they could even get into cover.

Stone, Flint and a couple other troopers lobbed several smoke grenades towards several shock troopers, creating a smokescreen before they moved up and gunned down the enemy troopers just before the smoke cleared. More imperial troopers quickly arrived, among them several armed with flamethrowers which burned several rebels and their allies.

One Incinerator trooper was about to make a move towards Pyrrha who was pulling back a wounded trooper to friendly lines when the tank on their back was hit by a blaster bolt, exploding and killing several nearby troopers. Pyrrha looked to a nearby observation area and caught a glint of a sniper scope.

From his position, Ray picked his next shot, took aim at an enemy commander and fired. The blaster bolt slammed into the commander's head, killing them before another set of blaster bolts nailed a couple other enemies in the head. "Ok, let's relocate." He said to Neo, configuring his sniper rifle back into its blaster mode and bolted towards another location. However, the enemy had already took notice of an enemy sniper and had dispatched several squads of troopers to intercept them.

Sadly, for the Imperial forces, Neo and Ray were better trained than the imperials and gunned them down with their blasters. Neo fired her rifles under-barrel grenade launcher at a squad of imperial soldiers, killing them as Ray equipped his blasters sniper mode once again and started to pick off several enemy troopers as a friendly sniper by the name of Longarm and his squad joined him. "Let's keep the pressure on them. They've just about finished planting the charges on the tanks!" he shouted to Longarm who didn't need a reminder and fired his DC-15X at the enemy.

Back outside the city, the Galm Team, Team SDOW, Mickey, PJ and the other fighters continued to dominate the skies as the number of imperial fighters continued to dwindle down to almost nothing as wreckage from both sides splashed into the raging ocean below them. Galen saw this from outside the window of the central spire before continuing his way towards the origin point of the disturbance he felt.

Passing through a set of doors, Galen found himself standing in what appeared to be a training room. Yet he sensed something strong in the dark side of the force, which was coming from the shadows. Igniting his lightsabers, Galen sliced a series of pipes that were thrown towards him. "Show yourself!" Galen demanded.

He soon got his wish as emerging was a clone of himself, wearing black Sith garments and a pair of lightsabers in their hands. "So, the original has finally arrived. I sensed your presence the moment your pathetic group of dissidents landed on the planet." the clone said smugly.

"You're a clone, just like the others." Galen realized.

"I'm not like those freaks. I am my master's vision of what you were meant to be. I've inherited all your skills and have no weaknesses, unlike you. I am a true Sith." The clone scoffed, extending his hand and blasting Galen with a surge of Force Lightning, which Galen blocked with his dual blades. "Your thoughts betray you; you're focused on the silver eyed girl you love on that backwater planet. You may be the Demon Lord, but you are weak just like your father and the girl you love."

"You can say whatever you want, but I am not weak and neither is Ruby. My love for is true and I will not allow anyone to harm her, not you, Vader, Cinder or the Emperor." Galen retorted. "You may be strong in the dark side, but I have something you don't have."

"What could you possibly have that I don't?" the clone demanded.

"The one thing you could never have. I have a heart!" Galen declared, gripping his sabers tightly. The clone of Galen, having wasted his breath ignited their lightsabers and dashed towards Galen, their red blades colliding with Galen's blue blades.

(Heroes Collide starts)

Both Galen and his clone traded blows with each other, both of them evenly matched in their skills with the force and lightsaber combat. "You're love for the girl blinds you. You are more powerful than Vader and his master, yet you choose to fight for the week!" the dark clone of Galen snarled, blasting Galen out of the spire.

Galen soon found himself in freefall but was quick to recover just as series of explosions from the cloning facilities shook the city as he landed on one of the spire platforms, just as his clone did. Both of them clashed blades once again, using their skills in Jar'Kai to try and outwit the other in battle.

As they clashed blades, the platform they were on began to groan before it finally gave out and sent the two of them into freefall once again. Still, their lightsabers clashed with one another before the clone grabbed a piece of the wrecked platform and sent it hurtling towards Galen who barely had a second to dodge it.

The piece of the platform slammed into Galen and sent him crashing through another platform before he blasted the piece off of him and sent it towards his clone, only to have it cut down the middle by his foe. A blast of lightning from his clone electrocuted Galen for a short period before the two crashed through yet a third platform before they crashed down onto one of the landing pads below them.

Without even wasting a second, the clone of Galen sprinted towards the original with their lightsaber infused with lightning. Galen countered each and everyone of the attacks his opponent used to try and end his life, but still failed to score any kind of hit on his foe.

"Is that really the best you can do? Defend? You truly are weak and I will surpass you in every way. I am your superior! I am Starkiller!" the clone now calling himself Starkiller proclaimed, grabbing several nearby crates and sent them hurtling towards Galen who either ducked, dodged or slashed the crates sent his way.

"You call me weak, but you are nothing more than a pawn of the dark side. Once your usefulness to Vader has been fulfilled, you'll be cast aside. The Sith always betray one another, it's a proven fact!" Galen shot back, leaping over his opponent and finally attacking them.

Starkiller countered his foes attacks, only to lose one of his lightsabers to Galen's blue blades. "Your efforts a valiant at most, but you don't fully understand the power of the force!" Starkiller snarled.

"I know more than you do about the force!" Galen roared, only to get slammed into the wall behind him by his opponent.

(End song)

"You claim to know more than I do when it comes to the force, but you're still weak. Just like the girl you love. Once I finish you, maybe I'll pay her a visit." Starkiller said aloud, getting Galen's attention. "Lord Vader said she is strong in the force, so she could be a threat to the Empire. I'll track her down and make her my apprentice or better yet, I'll kill her slowly and painfully."

(Jedi's Fury starts)

"NOOOOOOO!" Galen roared, igniting his lightsabers once more with a new found resolve and clashed blades with his foe. His strength had increased ten-fold at the mere thought of Ruby dying, something he made a promise to Summer that he would not let happen.

Calling on the force, Galen blasted his foe out of the window and down onto one of the landing pads below them. His eyes fixated on his opponent; he channeled the force into his lightsabers causing the dark clone of him onto the defensive despite their best efforts to attack.

The clone found himself pushed towards the edge of the platform and brought his lightsaber up to defend himself as Galen struck slammed his lightsaber down onto theirs several times until finally, he parried his opponents' weapon and killed the clone. "I rise, you fall!" Galen snarled, kicking the corpse over the edge of the platform.

(End song)

Thire, Pyrrha, Ray, Neo and Kota soon joined Galen on the platform as the body of the dead clone splashed into the ocean below. "All cloning facilities have been destroyed. The Imperial aquatic trooper training facility has been destroyed and the fleet above has been eliminated. Our objective has been accomplished. We lost a lot of soldiers today, but their sacrifice has brought us victory and we have you to thank, boy." Kota congratulated.

"I didn't really do anything. All I did was complete the mission. But now I have to continue my other mission. It's time I return to Remnant." He announced before he turned to Pyrrha, Neo and Ray. "Pyrrha, I'll make sure I protect Jaune when I find him. Neo, Ray, I'll make Cinder pay for murdering Amber, but I need all three of you to be at your best when fighting the Empire. If you ever need me, you know how to reach me." He added as the Rogue Shadow touched down.

"Hey, Galen! If you manage to see Fulcrum, tell her that the Garuda Team will be waiting for her and the Gelb Team in space. I ow her a great debt for helping us out in the Round Table and I intend on repaying that debt." Ray said as Galen walked up the Rogue Shadows boarding ramp.

"Do me a favor and tell Ruby that I ow her for killing Roman and make sure you give Cinder a couple of hits for me!" Neo added as the boarding ramp of Galen's ship closed, and the modified imperial transport shot through the air and broke the planets atmosphere, passing the wrecks of rebel and imperial ships before Proxy plotted a course for Remnant and the ship made the jump to lightspeed.

"Ruby, I'm on my way." he said as his ship raced through the blue tunnel back to the girl he loved.

And… done. Sorry I took so long, I had severe writers block when writing this chapter, which is common for even the best of writers when it comes to novels and fanfiction. Now, I brought back Thire, Jek, Rys and Stone of the Coruscant Guard. I figured that since they weren't killed, according to the Star Wars wiki-site, I would bring them in as the leaders of the Clone Anti-Troopers.

Now, I used a bit of the Force Unleashed II plot, when it came to the clones of Galen and the Dark Apprentice from the dark side ending of the Force Unleashed II. I know that the clones along with Dark Apprentice were created by using genetic material from Galen's body, which Vader brought to Kamino, but I tweaked it so that Vader used Galen's blood to create the clones of Galen and the Dark Apprentice.

Seems that someone is now having a change of heart and is following the path he knows is right? Anyone know who it is and will affect their fate in the future of the story? You'll have to wait and see.

Now, Spartan-626: I used the name Enterprise from the Enterprise aircraft carriers used by the United States Navy. I'm not much of a Star Trek fan. The Hornet, Yorktown and other ships are named after other ships that fought in World War 2.

Now, for any of my fellow Americans, I hope you all have a Happy 4th of July this year.

Now for all of us, if you haven't been keeping up with the news, there has been a lot of unnecessary violence and it's quite sad. Parents and children have been needlessly murdered in needless shootings and have left family and friends grieving for their loved ones. Now, I ask all of you, if you can find it in your heart, if you know of anyone who has thoughts of murder, please stop them from doing these heinous crimes against our fellow human beings and bring back the goodness in humanity that we all love.

Anyway, we'll be returning to Remnant next chapter with the start of Volume 4, so please read and review and I'll see you all next time.
