"Kane"... It is a name that haunts DT-136... He really doesn't remember much if his life before becoming a Death Trooper(A/N Death Troopers are often taken as young children to serve the empire)… his kind were often the tallest of all the soldiers in the empire…..after all. Who else would defeat those coming threats that the emperor sensed? Certainly not the Jedi. Or the rebels. Even though the name "Kane" haunts him. He still cannot seem to remember what that name means to him. Even if his medication won't get rid of it…..
The empire. Is pretty much everything DT stands for. He would server and die for it without a second thought. However. Sometimes he worries about if it were to fail. What would he do then?
16 years ago
Age: 10-11
Height 4'7
"Each and every one of you have been chosen to be part of our most elite soldier training can" said an admiral officer "An d if you pass you get to wear armor like this" revealing a deathtrooper armor "Each one of you will get assigned a number once you pass."
DT-136 and all his fellow kids his age looked at the death troopers armor in awe. He then began to wonder how his life would be wearing that suit.
"I want you all to make the empire proud. AM. I. CLEAR?" said he admiral
"Sir yes sir!" said DT-136 and all the kids saluting the admiral
A few weeks later
DT-136 and other kids were each on tables getting technically enhanced.. but as he receives the treatment, he could hear..
"Are you sure it's good to do this to them while they are young?" said someone
"This technology will help them be faster. Stronger. And smarter. These soldiers will crush the rebel scum. They took everything from these kids. So why wouldn't they want to?" said another this got a little flashback to appear.
Julie get Kane out of here! The rebels are attacking!
But what about you!?
I'll hold them off! Just get out of here!
DT-136 wasn't very good at memories before his recruitment to the empire. However. He knows that the rebels took what could have been a normal life from him. They took someone he looked up to away. They took… part of his hope.
This made also DT wonder… do all the other kids have hatred towards the rebels? He knows they are scumbags and all but it made him wonder what exactly did they do to his fellow trainees? As he and all the boys receive buzzcuts while the girls receive bob cuts. Honestly DT-136 thought it was a shame. He always thought he looked good with hair. But hey. Hair grows back.
After all the enhancements were done and all the other kids were getting up.
"Anyone else feels…. Great?" said one kid
"Yeah man. I feel like I can wrestle a rancor" said another kid as suddenly the admiral comes into the room.
"Good. The beginning of your training shall start soon. But first…. You there" said The admiral pointing DT-136
"Me?" said DT-136
"Yes you. Come here" said the admiral
DT walks up to the admiral and sees he is holding a wooden plank with a crudely drawn rebel soldier on it.
"What is this?" said the admiral
"A picture if a rebel scum sir" said DT-136 like he knows the answer like the back of his hand
"Good. Now punch it really hard please" said the admiral holding it out to him
DT-136 gives it a solid punch with very little effort causing the wood to snap in half
"Very good" said the admiral throwing the pieces aside "I expect good things from each and every one of you. Now. To the assembly room. NOW." Then DT-136 and all the others ran outside
5 years Later of rigorous training
Age: 15-16
Height: 6'3
"Congrats DT-136" said an admiral awarding DT-136 with official deathtrooper armor, a powerful machine gun, a pistol, and some grenade pouch "Now put it on" after 5 f****** years he finally got his hands on an armor he has been training for. It felt great.
"Thank you sir." Said DT-136 accepting the armor after waiting in a long line of 135 people and many more people behind him
DT-136 goes into a room to change into the armor. When he walked out he sees all the other deathtroopers who got their armor before him we're all standing in another line. But as he walks over to join them… he sees that a more terrifying figure than him and the other deathtroopers were… though he is about the average height if them at 6'7… it looked way more terrifying as he can feel a deadly… force from. The name is on the top of his tongue. But he just can't seem to get it out.
"You…" said the figure at one if the deathtrooper "And you." Pointing to DT-136
If DT-136 were not on medication he probably would have felt very nervous.
"Come with me" said the figure
"Yes Lord Vader" said the first deathtrooper he picked
"Of course. Lord Vader" said DT-136 as the figure Aka Darth Vader signals for the both of them to follow him
They both followed Darth Vader into a hallway.
Later
The three of them began to walk towards a building and he hears lots of noises begging to be let out. When they entered not only did it turn out to be a prison. But all of the prisoners then became silent when they realized Darth Vader is in their presence reducing many if the loud noises to murmuring. A stormtrooper comes over to them and hands DT-136 and the other deathtrooper collapsible batons.
"Enjoy your new 'toys'" said Vader to the two of them as they head towards a specific cell
Vader then opens one of the cells.
"Ack l-lord Vader!" said a prisoner who looks like he shit his pants as he doesn't seem to expect Vader to come at a time like this
"This marks day 7. Every day we will find another way to break you. Now then. Where is the rebel base?" said Vader
"I-I'm sorry but I still can't tell you" said the prisoner
"…Rough him up. Leave him alive and able to speak" said Vader as it seems like everyday he has even less patience for the rebel looking like he wishes to kill him
DT-136 and the other deathtrooper got the batons to activate and approached the prisoner.
This of course dud not look good for the prisoner. As two guys with batons much taller than him was about to beat him up.
"No-" said the prisoner as DT-136 whacks him in the face with his baton making him fall down as they both began hitting his back and kicking him as Darth Vader watched.
After a couple minutes of constant beating from the Deathtroopers the prisoner had finally given up.
"Ow-Ow! Please I'll talk! Just stop please!" said the prisoner
"That's enough. Now then. Where. Is. The. Rebel. Base?" said Darth Vader as DT-136 and the other deathtrooper stopped hitting the prisoner
"*cough* ok….. I'll talk" said the prisoner as he coughs up blood "They are.. planning an attack on the death star! And the ones your looking for are at planet garple at sector 66" (A/N of course I made that up)
Vader the force choked him and killed him. This surprised DT-136 he didn't think that it was wrong to kill the prisoner. It's just that.. clearly he has tested Vader's patience for at least a week.
A few days later
DT-136 was chosen along with several storm troopers board a ship driven led by Darth Vader.
"So then where are we going?" said stormtrooper
"We are going to a rebel base that might possibly be organizing an attack on the empire" said another stormtrooper
This is it. DT-136's first real mission. 5 years of training for something like this. Deep down he felt a but excited to do this though his medication keeps him from showing it. He could feel the ship start to take off making him wonder what things he will encounter.
As the ship flies through space he fully sees how…. Interesting it looks. Most of his life he saw space through holograms. He's seen it so much that for some reason he always expects it to be blue with white sparkles n planets. Sure he knew it was black and all. But he's seen it so much in holograms he expects it to be blue…. But then again blue is the color of the holograms.
Later after reaching the destination
What the ship Manda and opens the bay door. Darth Vader walks out followed by everyone else. At first it seemed innocent enough. Until suddenly Vader uses his light saber to deflect a laser.
"It-" said a stormtrooper as he gets sniped in the chest
"Sniper!" said another stormtrooper as they all except Vader ran for cover and as they run towards the rocks
"Release the Galchomper!" said rebel 1
"The what?" said rebel 2
"Just press that button right there" said rebel 1
Then DT-136 heard a cage open and a roar. He turns around to see an ugly beast similar to a rancor though smaller
The beast then grabs two of the stormtroopers. DT-136 then shoots one of it's arms causing it to drop one of the stormtroopers. However the other…. Wasn't so lucky.
"AAAAAAAAH!" yelled a stormtrooper in agony as he gets brutality ripped in half
Vader then jumps over and chops one of its arms off and then stabs it's face making it fall down to a painful death. 4 stormtroopers then took the sniped stormtrooper and went back to the ship to guard it.
Vader then signals for DT-136 and the rest of the stormtroopers to follow him into the building. When they got inside DT-136 receives a punch to the face by a Wookie (No it's not Chewbacca) causing him to drop his machine gun. The Wookie stood at 6'11 compared to his 6'5. This strangely felt insulting but right now he didn't care. The Wookie then drops it's gun and puts it's fists up. DT-136 was just about to shoot him until he decided to honor it by putting his fists up as they both ran towards each other.
"Let him deal with this" said Vader as he and the stormtroopers then continue to trek inside the building
DT-136 then punches the Wookie in the gut before receiving a hit causing his helmet to fall off. DT-136 then grabbed the Wookie and shoves into the wall where the very hot pipes burned it making fall down onto the ground. DT-136 then stomps on the Wookie a couple times as it rips a pipe of the wall and whacks him in the face causing a huge cut from the lower left side of his nose to right through his right eye brow.
"Gah!" said DT-136 putting his hand on the his injury then seeing his hand soaked in his blood. He then clenches his blood soaked fist and slugs the Wookie in the face making it growl at him. He then punches the Wookie's face really hard twice for what it did to his own face. He knees it's stomach making it crouch down. He then brings out his knife to stab it.
The Wookie then picks up the broken pipe to attempt to block the knife only for it to get chopped in half. The knife then went on to cut the Wookie's face making it very pissed at him. It then tackles him down and gives a very solid slug to DT-136's face giving him a bruise on his face. Then gives him another slug which more painful than the previous. Right when the Wookie was about to use both of it's fists and bash DT-136's face in. He reaches and feels something solid. The then grabs it and smashes it into the Wookie's face making it shatter like glass.
DT-136 had no idea what he just used nor did he care. He then unsteadily gets up and sees his machine gun on the floor. He then makes a dash for it. As he runs for it he can hear the Wookie sprinting right towards him.
Right when he almost reached his gun he feels a powerful kick to his back making nearly fall down. The Wookie the tries to pick up his machine gun. He runs towards the Wookie as fast as he could, grabs it's shoulders and gave it a headbutt. Not only did it feel satisfying to hurt it. But damn that Wookie's skull is hard.
This made the Wookie cover it's face and take a step back. This gave DT-136 time to grab his machine gun. The Wookie then tried to run away. DT-136 then manages to get a clear shot at the Wookie's leg. DT-136 then slowly walked up to the Wookie as it looks at him in fear as he points his gun at it's head.
*Blam*
DT-136 then looks around room and runs down where he believes Vader and the other stormtroopers went as he picks up and puts on his helmet. He notices that the Wookie has broken a piece of it. Because his helmet is not supposed to come off by force supposed to come off of he turns it. He will go get it repaired after this mission is done.
he treks through the place he hears some sort of voices from a door. But the thing is they don't sound like Vader's the stormtroopers. He approached the door and he could hear…
"One of them found us!"
This was a dead giveaway that they aren't friendly. He then decided to scare them with one pound to the door. He could hear a startled yelp inside. He then shoots the lock of the door causing the door to fall down. He could see two rebels inside and unarmed.
"S**t" said one if them as DT-136 points his machine gun at them as they both out their hands up
DT-136 looks around the room to see….. it's just a laundry room. Well this went nowhere. The worst those two can do is alert the others or his presence…. But that would mean there would be less forces to attack Lord Vader and the others. As innocent as that plan sounds. It's vicious as f**k for the results.
So he simply walks up to one of them and grabs him by the shirt.
"P-please have mercy" said the rebel
Normally he would have killed them without a second thought. Though first he wanted to test if they are if any use to him first.
"Tell me scum. Are there any more beasts you hold?" said DT-136
"B-But-" said the rebel making DT-136 feel he is stuttering too much. Making him shove a pistol in his face "Ok ok! There are some sea crawlers and that garger beast swimming around in our water trap!"
"Where is the water trap?" said DT-136
"Its under that manhole cover! I'm pretty sure your friends will also fall into a trap connected to it" said the rebel
"Is there any more beasts you hold?" said DT-136 pushing the pistol on his eye. He could see the other rebel is too scared to do anything.
"N-No! It's just those ones I swear!" said the rebel
DT-136 then throws the man aside and walks out. The first they can do is alert where he is. But that would mean less resistance for Lord Vader. So DT-136 decided to be ready in case those two rebels pulls a stunt like that. He opens the manhole and slides down the ladder he lands upon a body if water about 2 feet deep. Or so he thought as he realizes he is standing upon a bridge which means he is probably standing in a deathtrap.
As he treks through the swampy water he sees some things swimming in the water. He now has a feeling in his gut that those are probably those sea crawler things. He honestly had no idea what they are. So he decided to stay on edge in case they are dangerous. He then hears a monstrous groan. Similar to that monsters that attacked when he arrived here.
He turns around to see a giant, though slightly smaller than the beast before. It looked ugly as f*** and was drooling. It tried to grab him with it's hand. He jumps back from the swipe and attempts to run. This beast looked liked it may take more than a machine gun. It hits him that that's probably that gargler or whatever that rebel said it was.
As he runs a straight path he turns around and unleashes his machine gun upon the beast making it let out grunt sounds. Luckily it's slowing it down. Eventually he sees that the path leads to a door. He tries to open the door but to no avail. Eventually the beast got to close. DT-136 then our of instinct jumped into the water where there wasn't a bride and attempted to swim away. Sure it was a stupid idea but that was due to lack of impulse control.
The beast then jumps into the water and swam at DT-136 at an alarming rate. He had to think fast. He then gets a grenade and right when he turns around he sees that he basically about to get engulfed into the beasts mouth. This got him an idea. He curls up into a ball and right when he was inside it's mouth. He activates grenade and throws it down it's throat.. now he just had to wait.
*Kaboom*
The Garg thing explodes from the stomach killing it giving DT-136 to swim out in time as he was running out breath. He then swims back to the bridge and gets up. He walks over to the door and examines it. He sees that it needs a code. This made him think of the two most commonly used codes in the entire Galaxy. First he types '11111'. It of course did not work. Do he tried the more popular one, '80085'. That didn't work either.
Time to use the last resort. He then punches the code really hard causing it to open. He hears some panicked shrieks . He then runs inside since he knows it's definitely not the stormtroopers. He sees two rebels guarding a door.
Meanwhile
"Oh s***t this ain't good. Not good not good!" said a panicked rebel checking all the things in the room
"Hey st-*Blam*
"PLEASE N-*Blam*
"Eep!" said the panicked rebel
*Bang*
The panicked rebel tried to look for a place to hide.
*Bang*
The panicked rebel then hides in a box as DT-136 breaks the door open with his fists
Back to DT-136
He looks around the room scanning for hiding rebels or other doorways. He then walks into another room. This time being a security room filled with guards
"Hey who's. That?" said a guard as all the guards turned their attention towards DT-136
Meanwhile
"Look son there's my office" said a father
Then suddenly the windows started to blare red on and off
"Dad what's going on there?" Said the son
"They are probably having a silent dance rave" said the father
Suddenly an explosion shattered the windows.
"Welp. There goes my job. Let's go home before we run into complications" said the father as they leave
Back to DT-136
"Hmm… I my have gone overboard" thought DT-136 stepping over a few dead rebels. He then hears jumps out of the window. Leading to a room he could've sworn he's seen before. He runs over to see a couple stormtroopers investigating a couple boxes.
One of them turns around and sees DT-136
"Oh God! You startled me! Thank goodness it's just you" said the stormtrooper
"…Where are the others?" said DT-136
"They are up ahead. Why do you ask?" said the stormtrooper
"Lets catch up to them" said DT-136 as Vader and the other stormtroopers walk in
"I hope you three weren't goofing off" said Vader as he walked past them. "There is one last place to look through
"Of course not sir" said one of the stormtroopers nervously as they all follow Vader as he leads them all down further into an electronic ish cave. Which lead onto an underwater bridge. Like what DT-136 just dealt with.
"I've got a bad feeling about this" said a stormtrooper
"Considering what has happened. I think you may be right" said another stormtrooper as they walked further down this rabbit hole of a rebel base. DT-136 found himself walking on another underwater bridge. Which already made him feel uncomfortable by the fact there is probably something in the water.
"He-AH!" said a stormtrooper as he plummets in the water. Then two more plummet in the water
"IT'S THE FISH!" said a stormtroopers as they all began shooting the water. DT-136 then felt his foot get grabbed pulling him underwater. Making him drop his machine gun.
As DT-136 is submerged in the water he sees the three drowning stormtroopers and lots if fish… very large fish. He then reaches for his knife and stabs the fish in the face killing it. He then felt the urge to save his three drowning comrades. He grabs his pistol and starts to shoot the fish that are drowning the stormtroopers. He ends up killing on fish giving one of the stormtroopers to swim up and escape.
He tries to shoot the other fish only to miss and one if the fish drags the stormtrooper further down. He was a goner. He managed to free the other stormtrooper but as they swam you they saw more fish swimming after them.
They both then began to swim as fast as they could to the surface. Then the stroke of bad luck mad the fish catch them both. He manages to shoot the fish grabbing the stormtrooper giving him a chance to escape as DT-136 ascends deeper into the water.
DT-136 felt a bit of tension build up. As he reaches the bottom floor he could see the fish trying to maul the stormtrooper they dragged earlier as he squirms in hope of escape. He aims his pistol and unleashes many red lasers upon the fish swimming towards him. Luckily a lot of the shots got some.
The fish he missed then began to sit to him and bite onto to his armor. Luckily their teeth weren't t sharp enough to puncture him. It's the fact that they were able to bring him down this deep that was their true danger.
He looks up and he could see flashes of red. Giving the impression that Vader and the stormtroopers are still fighting some of those fish.
He then begins then begins to try each fish one by one until he was able to swim upwards to safety. As he swam upwards he could see there wasn't much of the fish left.
When he finally reached the surface two stormtroopers help him get up. He then sees Vader seemingly forcing an opening with his hand. He had no idea how Vader and Jedi do it. But right when Vader force that wall or whatever that was to open. Lots of blaster fire nearly reached them. Vader then stopped all the laser and sent them all back.
"Attack" said Vader as he activates his red lightsaber as DT-136 and the stomtroopers began to follow him. When they got through they were met with rebels all over the place and three giant robots shooting them.
DT-136 then charged through lots and lots of fire as he jumps behind a crate. He then those a grenade at on of the robots causing it to lose an arm. He then revs up his machine gun and fires up on many if the rebels taking down a few of them. Then he sees Vader jump upon a rail and stabs one of the robots in the head. Causing the other two to turn their attention to him. DT-136 takes this chance to throw a grenade at the other robot's back causing it to misfire.
He then sees Vader jump upon the rails a slice down each rebel that stood in his way. DT-136 then sees that one if the giant robots has turned it's attention to him and shoot an explosive shot causing him to be sent flying into the wall. He then unsteadily gets up and revs up his machine gun and runs behind a pole.
He then fires upon the robot managing to get a some good shots at it's head. Then a few stormtroopers managed to get some good shots upon the robot as well forcing it to decide to who to attack first. He then runs under the building heads and throws his last grenade at it's legs causing them to break making it fall down. It then attempts to crawl at Vader in an attempt to kill him.
Vader of course stabbed his lightsaber right through it's head. Leaving the robot with only one arm and a few rebels left.
The stormtroopers all turned their aim upon the few remaining rebels. That quickly finished them off. As Vader finished off the robot he then walks over to DT-136 .
"Next time don't take as long" said Vader giving DT-136 a force choked
"Ack!-I'm sorry sir." Said DT-136 as Darth Vader releases him causing him to fall down
"Don't let it happen again" said Vader as they all started to walk back to the ship
"Yes sure" said DT-136 as he quickly gets up and follows Vader and the others. His first mission was a success. But it certainly won't be the last.
This was the true start of DT's life. He would then go on to work on many escorts, ambushes, and guard jobs. Though he would occasionally work with Vader. Though every time he dies he always felt uneasy around him. Though luckily it wasn't that often.
Present Day
Play: Static-X – Black And White
Age: 20-21
Height: 6'5
DT-136 gets up from his seat and walks into a four man formation. However some of the storm troopers seem to be snickering at him for being the shortest. Even though DT-136 was taller than them at 6'5 compared to their 5'7-5'9…. He is dwarfed by his fellow death troopers as two of them stood at 6'7 while the third one stood at 7'2…. It certainly made DT-136 feel a bit awkward. And that he envies his peers that are over seven feet tall.… but he realized… he has missed his medication. He is starting to feel things again. He decided that when he had the time he will use his meds to prevent his feelings from taking over.
"Troopers. Escort me outside" said an officer. The four of them then began to follow the officer outside. They walked towards a ship. DT-136 wondered where he was going to.
"Hey DT-077 do you have some medication to spare? I may have forgotten to use mine for the past day" said DT-136 making sure his speech is inaudible to everyone who isn't a death trooper
"Not right now. But yes" said DT-077. This got DT-136 an idea
"Sir" said DT-136
"What is it trooper?" said the officer
"May I put on my medication?" said DT-136
"Wha-*sigh* I don't want to know. Just come right back when your done" said the admiral DT-136 walked over to DT-077
"Well. Now is the perfect time. Got any medication to spare?" said DT-136 holding out his hand
Meanwhile
"I don't understand what the hell they are saying" said a storm trooper
"Maybe they speak in electrical frequency?" said the other storm trooper as they only hear weird electric sounds coming from the death trooper as the taller one gives the shorter one some sort of medication pills
Back to DT-136
DT-136 goes into a room where he was alone and takes off his helmet. And opens the pill container. He looks at himself and sees that his still has a scar on his face from that Wookie. This made him think to himself. How can he make rebel scum suffer.
"For the empire" said DT-136 eating the pill and putting his helmet back on and leaving the room as the medication starts to kick in
Right before the medication starts to kick in he heard in his head.
Be a good boy for the empire Kane. I love you. And that will never change
As of now DT-136 isn't sure who exactly said that but judging by the feminine sound… it maybe a sound from a mother…. Then the medication starts to kick in and his headache starts to subside
DT-136 walked towards his fellow death troopers in a line
"Ok good everyone is here. Now the-" said the admiral
"Sir! We have reached an urgent message from the emperor!" said an officer
"The Death Star is being assaulted!" said the officer "The emperor asks that all nearby star destroyers come to his aid. And that includes us."
"Aw man. There goes my last day before my week off" thought the admiral
"Alright! set a course to Endor!" Said the admiral
Suddenly the star destroyers then hyper space. DT-136 always wondered how the thing works. But right now he didn't bother to care
Then the star destroyers then hyper space into the middle of a space battle.
"Oh no…. I want all guns pointed at that big rebel ship!, Send out all the TIE fighters! Rip that ship from space!" said the admiral
"Yes sir" said one of the pilots as many gunners started to aim all the star destroyer turrets as they unleash all of their laser upon the rebel ship
"INCOMING" said a pilot
"W-" said the admiral as they all felt a huge thud in the star destroyer "The hell just happened!?"
"We appear to have been hit by a missiles sir" said a pilot
"Bloody hell. See the drones to fix it" said the admiral
"Sir the troopers on Endor are requesting for back up!" said another pilot
"Gah! Those little bastards!" said the admiral "You two! Get into the drop ships and head to Endor!" Pointing to DT-136 and DT-077
D-136 and DT-077 then ran into the elevator. DT-136 did not expect things to escalate this quickly. But hell. It's possibly better than doing nothing. When they both exited the elevator and ran towards a drop ship along with a bunch of other Stormtroopers as everyone in the room scrambles to their battle stations.
"I have a bad feeling about this…" said a nervous stormtrooper
"Just remember your training and stay calm. We have a bigger chance of survival now that we have death troopers are with us" said another storm trooper as the drop ship begins to take off
DT-136 wondered what may happen from here. He looks out the window to see a few star destroyers explode as the one they came from along with three more arrive for the remaining ones' aid.
As the drop ship flew closer and closer to the atmosphere a rocket hits one of the boosters causing the ship to lose control if where its going.
*Blamp*
"We're hit!" said a stormtrooper
"Everyone hold on!" said another
The ship then flies closer and closer to the ground
"You ready?" said DT-136 to DT-077 in frequency
"Always" said DT-077 also in frequency
The ship began to crash upon the ground causing a huge thrash inside making all the troopers inside bump into each other as the ship came to a stop
"Oh.. my head" said a stormtrooper as the bay door starts to open and all able body stormtroopers and DT-077 run outside to join their comrades
DT-136 then shoves an unconscious storm trooper off of him as he gets up. He sees the giant trees that Endor has. It must have been one hell of a time for them to grow that big. At the corner of his eye he thought he saw a little ewok watching him. But it turns out to be a dead one. In his opinion the little bastard deserved it.
DT-136 didn't know where the others went but by his instinct he decided to go to where the he hears most of the stormtrooper voices. As he runs over he hears loud footsteps from an AT-ST walker shooting. At first he thought it was safe to go over there until he heard.
"The rebels have took the Walker!"
This made DT-136 stop in his tracks and be more wary of his steps. He grabs a grenade and throws it at the AT-ST walker. It explodes on the side causing it to tilt and misfire a couple shots. He then sees that some if the rebels started to take notice of him
DT-136 then tries to run further from the rebels in the direction where he believes the storm troopers went judging by where exactly there were shooting. Luckily because his armor is black it is pretty hard to spot as he ran further into the forest.
He then ran he sees a bunch of stormtroopers retreating into a bunker making him think they are regrouping there.
After heading to the bunker the stormtroopers inside seem surprised yet grateful that a deathtrooper is here. DT-136 sees that there are only 16 of them in total. 7 officers and 9 stomtroopers.
"Mr. Deathtrooper sir. The rebels have been able to push us back" said a stormtrooper
That did not sound good at all. Considering it's the rebel scum
"What strong points do we have left?" said DT-136
"W-We only know of the tie fighter and dropship base but it's far from here" said the stormtrooper
"…" said DT-136 as he turns around to see a stormtrooper and officer attempt to open a locked door by a code
"Try harder man!" Said the stomtrooper
"I AM. ITS F*****G STRESS-" said the office as suddenly the ground shook for a moment
"-ful.." said the officer as he then sits down and holds himself "Oh dear"
"I think the stolen found us!" said a panicking stormtrooper as he hides under a desk "Oh God I don't wanna die!... Hey someone hid an unopened Canned Bread here"
DT-136 then walks over the code earning looks of curiosity from a couple stormtroopers and officers
DT-136 then punches right through the entry pass buttons causing the door to open revealing… a small box. He then opens it to reveal a small book *insert price is right losing horn sound here*.
"That's what was inside!?" said an officer "*sigh* that is a letdown"
DT-136 began to wonder why the book was kept in that thing all locked up. It had to be dangerous… right?... Maybe it just contains dangerous knowledge…. He then takes the book and puts it in a storage pouch on his belt. It was kind of a small book really. Maybe someone can tell him why it's here.
"Mr. Deathtrooper sir what do we do?" said another officer
"Are there any explosive weapons?" said DT-136
"All we have is a grenade launcher. But none of us have any grenades" said the officer
DT-136 digs into his grenade pouch and shows it towards the officer. He also realizes he has 3 left.
"Well that's a start. Barry! We got some ammo!" said the officer as a stormtrooper with the grenade launcher runs towards them. DT-136 hands all three of his grenades to the trooper.
"I won't let you down!" said the stormtrooper cheerfully ad those grenades has filled him with a sense if hope
Then the ground started to shake again. And again. And again.
"Yup. They definitely found us" said the stormtrooper under the desk trying to open the canned bread
"You there. Cover me" said DT-136 to the stormtrooper with the grenade launcher as he gets his machine gun ready and walked towards the door followed by a few more stormtroopers
DT-136 runs out of the door seeing the AT-ST walker approaching the bunker. It aimed directly right at them. But before it could fire it then gets hit by a grenade making it miss it's shot.
He sees that rebel soldiers we coming. He shoots a few of them down. But what he didn't was expect a shove from a rebel soldier standing at the same height as him at 6'5. He then tackles DT-136 down causing them both to roll down the hill. As they rolled DT-136 could hear the laserfire from the stormtroopers and rebels. Then he heard another grenade go off and hears the AT-ST explode and he hears who he assumes to be the grenade launcher stormtrooper say "I GOT IT!"
The rebel then gets a metal rope and attempts to use it to strangle DT-136. DT-136 uses one of his arms to prevent the rope from crushing his neck and his other hand on the rebel's face.
"Die imperial scum!" said the rebel trying to push the metal rope further onto DT-136's neck prompting him use his hand to clench down on the rebel's face to see if he will loose his grip. He then manages to make the rebel's hold on the rope giving him a chance to push it away and slug him in the face. He was just about to finish him as an officer comes over to him.
"Trooper. We have orders to retreat! We need to move now!" said the officer as DT-136 follows him, other officers and the stormtroopers as they run further into the forest "There is a stormtrooper squad nearby. And they will increase our chances of survival!" Everyone left in the bunker then comes out to join them. Even the trooper that hid under the desk.
"Can you see if there are any signals?" said DT-136
"I can try" said the officer as he gets a walker talk and adjusts the Bob for a signal
*Zz* Can anyone hear me!? *Zzz* We are surrounded *ZZZ* -Elp!*
"Who is this?" said the officer
*Zzz* Commander Ivan! *Zzz* rebel scum *Zzz*
"Where are you commander?" said the officer
*Zz* coordinates are!*Zzz* 12534 seventh pad!*
"That's nearby! We are on our way Commander!" said the officer as he leads them all upon a trail
Meanwhile
"Gah! Send recovery ships there. We need to evacuate all our intelligence and officers!" Said the admiral
"Yes si-" said many of the staff before seeing the big boom in space
"No….. he can't be ... No no. No!" said the admiral "We need everyone out if the planet!"
Back to DT-136
DT-136 and the other saw the death star explode in the sky. They were all stunned. They didn't know what to do now…. A couple stormtroopers start to drop to their knees
This felt like a major blow to everything he knew. A weapon capable of saving the entire Galaxy. All gone. Millions upon millions of comrades. All gone. The very leader who he has stood for 16 years. Gone. Resources that was meant to help stop the rebels. Gone. All gone. He never really knew anyone upon the death star and the destroyed star destroyers. But he certainly knew they don't deserve that kind of ending.
This made a massive amount of…. Anger. This was something that the medications can't hold back. All the emperor wanted to do was bring order to the Galaxy. Because of him many planets and their economies have changed for the better. Because if him DT-136 was able to enforce the law at the degree he does. They took it all away. Those rebel scum. THOSE. REBEL F**KS.
DT-136 then pulled an officer toward him.
"We need to reach the commander. NOW." Said DT-136 letting go of him
"O-of course. Right away!" said the officer as he leads then all to where the coordinates are. It ended up leading to the Commander Ivan and what's left oh his squad being pinned down by the rebels.
"You. Do you have any grenades left?" Said DT-136
"Only one" said the stormtrooper
"Fire upon that group right there." Said DT-136 pointing towards about 32 rebels that were advancing towards Commander Ivan and his squad of 11 men. The stormtrooper fires the grenade and it directly hits the middle of the rebels. Luckily it killed a majority of them. DT-136 and the others took this chance to open fire upon the rebels.
DT-136 ran right towards Commander Ivan.
"Oh man. It's nice to see back up" said Commander Ivan
"Do you have any grenades?" said DT-136 as everyone caught up to them.
"Sure. Why?" said Commander Ivan
"Give it to him. He has a grenade launcher" said DT-136. Commander Ivan immediately saw where this was going so he nods and orders the stormtroopers to get the grenades
"Do we have any other special weapons?" said DT-136
"All we have are our blasters and whatever is in that unopened crate." Said Commander Ivan
"Incoming!" said a stormtrooper as the 29 of them then began to look around as they hear sounds from rebels soldiers approaching
DT-136 runs over to the unopened crate and pries it open. He found sound remote detonator bombs. He though unfortunately there was not many. So as he grabs them he nearly gets shot. He revs up his machine guns and fire as much as he could.
Within moments more rebels started to come over and attack. This was not good at all.
Then to their luck an imperial droppship arrived and opened it's hatch revealing a stormtrooper on a turret and another stormtrooper holding two standard blasters. This drives all the rebels away as the ship lands.
"Get the officers out if here!" Saud DT-136 as all 7 officers enter the drop ship along with other stormtroopers "Then fill in from there!"
"But what about you and the others?" said a stormtrooper as all the stormtroopers started to fill up the ship
"We'll he heading to the tie fighter doc. We'll be fine" said DT-136 as the drop ship hatch closes and flies away leaving only him, Commander Ivan, and 3 stormtroopers.
"Now then. Where's the tie fighter base?" said DT-136
"It may take some walking but we'll get there" said Commander Ivan as they all started to follow the rivers.
"We better hurry or else those rebels will find us" said DT-136 as the five of them trekked faster
Later
The government of them the find the tie fighter base. But they saw it was taken over.
"What should we do?" said a stormtrooper
"…" said DT-136 as he sneaks closer to base. He sees two rebels guarding the door. He then gets a rock and throws it at the side causing one of the rebels to go and investigate
DT-136 approached the rebel from behind and put one hand on his mouth and used his other hand to twist the rebel's arm.
He then shoves the rebel's head into the wall and seeing him on the ground. He gets his knife and..
*SHNK*
"Cole? What ar-" said the other rebel as DT-136 pulled him close cut open his chest. After that. DT-136 then went on to put an explosive on each pillar that held the TIE-Fighter base up
"Trooper what are you doing!?" said Commander Ivan in a loud whisper tone
"Better to keep the rebels from using it" said DT-136
"Oh. I guess that makes sense" said Commander Ivan seeing what DT-136 is going for
"Oh man I feel so nervous" said A stormtrooper
"just remember your training and stay calm. We'll be fine as long ars the commander and death trooper is with us" said another stormtrooper as the five of them entered the place. DT-136 decided to run ahead.
DT-136 runs down the hallway and as he runs. He sees that a rebel has left a room. He grabs his baton.
"Hu-" said the rebel as DT-136 uses the baton to whack him in the face and another whack to the head to make sure he stays down.
DT-136 then enters the room the rebel came out of. He sees two rebels inside and they appear to be extracting information from the computer. He then whacks one of them with his baton as he kicks the other one down. He then whacks the kicked one to make sure he stays down as he them puts an explosive in the room and leaves. The others then catch up to him. They then began to walk into the hangar part and what they saw made DT-136's anger toward the rebel alliance grew.
He sees that they have killed many of the imperials that where there. He could see there we about to execute 3 pilots an officer, and an AT-AT driver. He looks at the dead bodies of fallen comrades. Those scumbags. First they take over an imperial base and they decided to execute them. Then he sees the rebel scum kill one if the pilots. This got his blood to boil.
He then rushes over to a rebel watching from same platform he is on and grabs him by the neck.
"ACK!" said the rebel as DT-136 strangles him with one hand. He then throws him down making him land on a crate. He then revs hid machine gun and fired upon the rebels that were holding the four imperials hostage killing a few of them. DT-136 then runs down the stairs with the stormtroopers and commander Ivan and kicked down the door guns blazing taking down the remaining rebels.
One of the stormtroopers runs toward the four hostages and broke off their cuffs knee by one as the alarm of the place went off. DT-136 then began to put the last if the explosives he had in different parts of the hangar.
"Oh my god thank you thank you!" said the officer in relief
"Is there a ship we can use to leave the place?" said DT-136
"There is only one. It is outside. If we hurry we should escape" said the officer as the 9 of them then started to run to the outside hangar.
As they all ran towards the ship they heard a rebel yell.
"They're escaping! Stop them!"
Then the 9 of them where getting shot at by incoming rebels.
"Quick open the hatch!" said Comander Ivan as he, DT-136, And the three stormtroopers all began shooting the rebels to give the pilots time to settle in
"Bloody hell!" said the AT-AT driver as he nearly gets shot.
Pilot 1 then jumps into the driver's seat and presses several buttons.
"Ah s**t" said Pilot 1
"What's wrong?" said Pilot 2
"The engine needs a few moments to start up" said Pilot 1
"Can you get the thrusters working?" Said Pilot 2 to the AT-AT driver and officer.
"I can try but I can't guarantee it will work" said the AT-AT driver
"Hurry up you guys! We don't have all day!" said Commander Ivan
"We're trying!" said the officer as the AT-AT sits on the chair for the navigation computer
Then the engine starts to work properly.
"Its working!" said Pilot 1 "Quick! Get the others!" As he and Pilot 2 started frantically pressing buttons so the ship can leave
"Quick you guys get in!" Said the officer as Commander Ivan and the three stormtroopers run into the ship. DT-136 was just about to follow until he gets shot in the shoulder
"Trooper!" yelled Commander Ivan
DT-136 turned around and saw the very last things he wanted to see. A rebel a rocket launcher and a revel with a shield bubble along with a lot more rebels than he could count. If he were to go in the ship right there and now the rebels would surely shoot them down before they could get far. Be had to keep them away from the turret.
He then runs towards a rail to avoid getting shot.
"What are you doing!?" yelled Commander Ivan
"Live to fight another day you guys. Live to fight another day." DT-136 had finally given up hope. But he wanted to make sure he can preserve what he could first.
"But-" said Commander Ivan
"Go." Said DT-136 as he shoots the rebel with the shield bubble. As he runs towards the turret and ours an explosive on it
"You son of a bitch" said Ivan as the hatch to the hatch closes and the ship starts to lift off.
"Shoot them down!" said a rebel
"Oh no you don't" thought DT-136 as he shoots the rebel with the rocket launcher before he could fire. But in doing so he exposed himself out in the open. Because of this a rebel was able to shoot hid machine gun destroying it. He then gets his pistol and starts to try to hold the rebels off.
Then. The ship flew away. He did it. He wasn't able to save the empire. But at least he got to save a small part of what's left of it. He then tries to shoot the rebel with the shield only for laser to bounce off.
The rebel with the shield then was able to get several good shot at DT-136's chest nearly killing him. This made him fall down nearly dropping his detonator.
"Hey guys. Do we take prisoners?" said a rebel
"Not anymore" said DT-136 as he presses the detonator button causing all the bombs he our in and around the building to explode.
He watches as the building the rebels gave taken over start to crumble to pieces. It felt glorious. If he was going down he took the place with him.
He watches as rebels get crushed and killed by debris. This was for his fallen comrades they killed. He has no regrets other than not being able to stop the destruction of the death star.

As the platform he lays dying on starts to break. The book he carried with him starts to glow yellow as the platform starts to break down making him slide towards the ledge as he holds on the book as tight as he could. He sees his pistol fall down all the way to the ground.
"?" said DT-136 "What's going on?" as the light gets brighter and brighter
DT-136 squeezed his eyes as shut as he could to avoid getting blinded by the light
What's happening? W-Why is it so bright?
DT-136 started to feel very strange.
Got him to wonder where he will go from here….. he looks to his left to see the getting book he had carried with him the entire time floating right beside him. Was this a teleportation book? But if it was… it got him to wonder why it was locked up. If it could teleport… which he is assuming it's doing. It was leading him to the empire…. Right?
The book then began to wither into dust. This got him curious to what is going on. They then make DT-136's injuries and somewhat broken armor. And repaired it in a few moments.
"Just what else can that book do?" thought DT-136 as he then feels himself being layer down.
Then suddenly. He saw darkness. After a few more moments of seeing nothing but black he feels some poking at his helmet.
"Go away" he thought. But the poking continued. In fact it stares to pole faster for a few moments. This finally gets him to wake up… but squints to see the sun in the sky. But he sees some sort of blue Bobby thing staring at him.
"Poi?" said the blobby thing
"!" said DT-136 getting up quickly away from the strange blue looking thing. He takes a closer inspection to see that it looks like… some sort of slime with eyes and a mouth. And it has two red spots under it's eyes making it look like it has red cheeks.
"Poi!" the slime thing as it hope up and down. If looked like it was happy. Normally DT-136 would have shot it. But first two reasons he couldn't. One. He doesn't seem to have any guns not grenades. And two. It doesn't appear to be a threat.
In fact. He looks around and sees that his guns are missing. He digs in all pouches and finds no grenades as he then remembers he gave them all to that one stormtrooper. And the fact that his machine gun got destroyed and the pistol falling down. He then checked the two things he is pretty sure he has. And luckily they were still there. His baton and knife.
The slime then hopped towards DT-139 making him wonder what is wants. Right when it was at his feet it looks like it was reach up to him. He then takes a knee down to see what it's up to. It them jump right onto his helmet.
"Hey get off" said DT-136 as he tried to pull it off
"Poi poi!" said the slime happily as he manages to pull it off and put it on the ground he notices that it's pretty much the size of a little ball. It could fit in his hand.
"Don't to that" said DT-136 pointing his finger at it. It then bites it. At first he thought it was gonna hurt but it really just felt like his put his finger in pudding. This got home to wonder about what this slime thing is. Sure there where slime creatures in his Galaxy. But… they were intelligent like a humam being and capable of speech. But this slime… doesn't seem to talk but yet it seems to act like a puppy with a new master.
He then pulls his finger out if it's mouth and gets up. He looks around. He sees blue sky, green grass, a trail, and a tree. Is he dreaming? He was just on Endor earlier. It made him wonder what he should do…. Right now he doesn't know what happened to the empire…. The one he proudly served….
Right now he felt he should look for civilization. He then proceeds to follow the path in hoped of maybe some imperial sympathizers that may be able to get him back to the empire.. or at least what's probably left of it. The slime then happily hops after him.
He then hears some running. He knows for sure that is not the slime because that doesn't have legs. He then turns around to see a girl run into him.
"Ah!" said the girl colliding with him and landing on the ground. However he was unfazed by it.
"?" said DT-136 looking at the girl that ran into him. She wore what appears to be female knight armor… she looked about either his age or a year younger.
This made DT-136 think he probably should have stepped out of her way. But… what if she did that on purpose? What if she's a hostile? He then grabs his baton as the girl makes a small groan and starts to open her eyes.
"Oh dear I'm so sorry" said the girl quickly getting up before getting a full view of DT-136. His armor looked very unsettling and by the fact that he stood at 6'5 compared to her 5'8. The fact that he was holding a baton didn't help either.
DT-136 realized that she wasn't a threat and puts his baton away. Then from behind his legs the slime sticks out.
"Poi?" said the slime. The girl immediately looked at the slime with surprise
"A pango!" said the woman looking at the slime
"The hell is a pango?" thought DT-136 one thing for sure is that she didn't seem to recognize him as a stormtrooper…. Maybe he's…. Nah he can't be.
"poi poi?" said the sleep now called a pango as it nudges against DT-136's foot.
"Aw. He's so cute" said the girl looking down at the pango then looking up at DT-136's helmet
She felt very unsettled at how terrifying his helmet looked. But so far he doesn't seem to be a threat. So she cope with it for now. She then bends down and reaches a hand towards the pango. The pango looked at her curiously.
"Maybe you'll like this hand better" said the girl as she reaches toward the pango with her other hand with a gauntlet. The pango then hop behind DT-136's leg
"A pango who refuses magic? Wait.. are you a mage?" said the girl
"…" said DT-136 feeling he doesn't have time for this as he turns around and starts walking away.
"Hey wait up!" said the girl as she and the pango catches up towards him "You still haven't answered my question. Are you a mage?"
DT-136 then shakes his head. He knows what a mage is. But they are very rare where he's from. And very dangerous.
"Wait" said the girl making him stop in his tracks she then points her gauntlet at him. It glowed faint and bright. She looked surprise "This heightened energy. Is it you? I don't see a discharger on you. How is it possible that you have such a high level energy?"
"…" said DT-136
"Are you even going to say anything?" said the girl hoping he works say at least something other than a grunting noise. Though.. his armor. It doesn't look like any armor she has ever seen before. Is he even human? Maybe a mini golem? He certainly looks humanoid. But he is very tall. Much taller than an average human. She's heard of people who grew up to be over 7 feet tall. But the tallest person she ever met so far was 5'10.
DT-136 then gets an idea. Maybe she can lead him to a ship…. Or at least lead him to someone who can. And make she can tell him where he is
"…Do you know where we are?..."
"Oh so you can talk" said The girl. But his voice. It sounds human but yet it sounds….. altered…. Just what is he? "But we are in Meadowhill" that was not a place that he recognizes
"…Do you know what the empire is?" said DT-136
"The empire? What empire?" said the girl
"….what about the rebel alliance?" said DT-136
"Rebel alliance? I don't know what that is either" said the girl. This confirmed his suspicion. He must not be on a planet affiliated with either. Or at least aware of them.
"…..is there a town nearby?" said DT-136
"Yeah. I was just heading there. You can come along if you like" said the girl
"…..sure" said DT-136 as she happily leads the way
"So then. I never got your name" said the girl
"….." said DT-136… he thought for a moment. If he were to tell him his number she might forget it a little…. Though there is something he wanted to try. If this is a place untouched by both empire and rebel alliance. Maybe he should use… his name. The very name that has been haunting him…. "….Kane…"(A/N I'll just call him Kane from now on)
"Kane huh? My name is Leanna Dawn" said the girl now named Leanna as they both walk north
After done walking. Kane noticed that the pango is still following them.
"Ms… Leanna. Why is that pango still following us?" said Kane
"I think it's attracted to your energy. I don't think it wants to leave your side" said Leanna as they stop to let the pango catch up. It then bobs up and down at Kane
"I think it wants you to hold it" said Leanna
This made Kane contemplate if he should allow it to follow them or not… he decided to allow it just in case. He then picks up the pango with one hand. It is very light. Maybe even lighter than a single sheet if paper. The pango seemed to be very happy.
"Poi!" said the pango happily making Leanna giggle
"So then. What's the name of the town?" said Kane
"Ilumia" said Leanna
To be continued
What lies next for Kane? Will he find a way back to the empire? What other things in Kane's past has made him this way? Some of these may be answered…..
Upon the next chapter
Trivia
1: this story is inspired by another story called "Deathtrooper" by ErrorPleaseReload so if you want a deathtrooper with a different philosophy on the empire and you like Goblin Slayer. I suggest checking his story out.
2: Unlike my Noctis story this will not be a harem story.
3: I've been wanting to wrote this story for a while now. Now this other than this. There are only two other fics involving Crystalline.
4: there was 3 alternative names for this fic. And they are "World Coming Down", "Soldier of a Dead Nation" and "Outlive"
5: so yeah. I have written the longest debut chapter involving Crystalline. Go figure.
6: I was this close. THIS CLOSE. To having DT-136 kill general Iden and her squad.
7: the part where Kane brawled with the Wookie. I was originally going to have him run into Han Solo and Chewbacca instead. But because they are main characters. He would probably be a goner.
Always remember. Empire Did Nothing Wrong. As a supporter of Darth Sideous I am 100 percent sure what I just said is only controversial for the s**ts n giggles when it comes to star wars fans. While I'm pretty sure a lot of you probably won't care.
So then. You like it? Hate it? Feel disappointed that I worked on this instead of chapter 5 of "Innocence & Instinct" and/or chapter 2 of "New World New Hell"?
Constructive criticism is welcome.
