Chapter 2

Year 0 Month 0 day 05

With the declarations of war, the two sides have started the war.

Empress Vox walked down a hall to the war room. She entered, and all the Generals and Admirals stood up.

"Empress is it time?" One of them ask. He was an Admiral, Admiral Lilo Gran. He was an older man, but an experienced one. He had a prosthetic eye, and arm. He was human, with only a small amount of hair in the top of his head, white from age. He wore a well-worn uniform.

"Admiral Gran, I otherize the invasion force." Vox said. Admiral Gran

"You will not be disappointed my Empress. Give me three hours and we'll be on the water."

"I already have the ships ready. They just need a leader. I have authorized a Sith to join you." Vox went to the computer and pulled up the picture of a sith Lord.

"This is Lord Watu. He is a sith pureblood. The Dark side flows through his veins. He has experience leading men. If any Jedi try to get in your way, he will stop them."

"Thank you, My Empress, for your gifts."

"They are not gifts. I expect victory." She turned to Gran. "And if you disappoint me, you will feel my wrath."

"I understand" Admiral Gran said. Vox could hear him gulp. He saluted her and left.


Gran got to the staging area and saw his fleet. He had never in his life seen a fleet as large as this one. He saw hundreds of small landing crafts, a dozen aircraft carriers, and over fifty warships.

When Gran got out he couldn't speak. He didn't notice a man come up behind him.

"So, you're the Admiral of the Fleet."

"Yes I am. Empress Vox has out done herself this time."

"Yes, she has. I don't know if she told you, but I am Lord Watu." Gran looked at him. He was surprised. Even though he saw a picture of him it didn't do justice. He was a head taller than Gran, and Gran wasn't short. His skin was blood red, and the tails that came off his face were covered in something that Gran hadn't seen before.

"They are from my tribe, they are honorary beads. Come, we have much to do."

"I'm sorry for staring, it's just you're so unique. I draw in my spare time, and if you'd be willing, I would like to draw your face."

"I must stop you there. We will not have free time for many months. We have to strategize."

"My apologies. Let's get on the Flagship, if we can find it." He looked at all the ships and couldn't see one that stood out as the lead. Watu didn't stop to look. He knew exactly where it was.

"There" He pointed at a ship. It was heavily armed, with what had to be a communication relay at the top. It was painted with a slight gold hue. It had RIS Unbroken on the side in gold. RIS Stands for Remnant Imperial Ship

The Docks were covered with people, some getting on ships, some saying fare wells to there loved ones.

"only a quarter of this invasion force is live. The rest is droid." Watu said

"To cut down on human cost" Gran said.

"Exactly, now let's get to the war room." Watu and Gran went to the Unbroken's war room. It was as large as the average warship's cabin, with a holographic map of the world.

"I believe that we should strike at Menagerie. Break the hold of the Red Fang and take over the island. It will be a large land grab, and we could show we care about the Faunus." Gran said.

Watu shook his head.

"The spy planes show that they have a large fleet stationed around the island. We want to punch through a weak point. That is why I put forth the city of Yoron. It has a small ten ship blockade, and then we can march into Vale's outer kingdom.

Yoron was a port city located on the eastern seaboard of Vale. It's closer to the bottom of Vale, but it is an important trade city. It's protected by large valleys and tall mountains. The city was close to a river, which led to many smaller settlements, towns, and other cities. Outside the city is a large meadow, with plants tall enough to hide people in.

"Yoron is of little importance to Vale. It won't send a message."

"If we take it then we will be on the mainland of Vale. I see very little symbol greater than that."

An imperial officer entered the war room and handed Gran a report.

"Thank you. From now on, make a copy of any reports."

"Yes sir." The officer gave Gran a salute. Gran saluted back, and the officer left.

"We just got news from Recon Zero. It looks like Menagerie wouldn't be the best place to invade anymore. They can send a report to the alliance in seconds. The invasion will be known in seconds. Looks like Yoron will be where we launch." Gran said. Satisfied, Watu turned back to the map. Gran went over the radio of all the ships

"Set your coordinates to Yoron."


The captain of the Mathais was standing on deck. His small blockade force had been able to send back some unsavory pirates, but besides that it was rather boring. He pulled out a cigarette and started to smoke when he heard someone call for him

"Captain! Come look at this!" The first mate said.

"What is it?"

"It says that there are hundreds of crafts coming towards us."

"Let me take a look at that" He said. He went to the Radar and he confirmed that many ships were coming.

"Get someone to check on that." He ordered.

Someone opened the door.

"Captain. The Invasion force has arrived." Only moments after those words were spoken, everyone could hear blasts fire from enemy cannons. The captain looked at the other ships, and one was hit, the Chaplet was hit, and starting to sink.

"Fire back!" the nine remaining ships fired one valley each before the response.


Gran asked for damages

"One of the destroyers were hit, and its guns is no longer functioning." Reported an officer.

"Move the Spark up and get that ship out of range. Send some of our faster ships out to try and board." Watu barked.

"The Spark alone could destroy those remaining ships, why are you using it to take hits?" Gran asked

"Don't waste ships. Send ten of our battleships out to try to get them to budge. Send the Hurricane out to the left to circle behind our enemies. Send four corvettes to guide the ship to its location and do the same with the Fidget." Watu ordered

His orders were followed, and the Mathais tried to fend off the ships coming in close.

"All warships, FIRE!" Gran ordered. He watched as four more enemy ships were sunk. The Mathais got a lucky shot it and destroyed the hull of one of the corvettes.

"They actually sunk a ship of ours. Let's make them pay for that.

"Agreed. All ships, Fire at the Mathais!"


The captain of the Mathais looked at his enemies as four of his ships were sunk.

"Captain, the enemy is sending two warships to Port and Starboard. They are accompanied by four corvette ships. What are your orders?"

"Fire on the corvette closest to us. We don't have time to waste shots."

"We've got them in our sights sir."

"Fire!" the Mathais fired at a corvette, and its haul was pierced. The ship was taking in water, and it began to sink. The crew cheered as it sank into the water.

"Sir, their guns are locked on us."

"How many?"

"All of them."

No one spoke. They all knew what was going to happen next.

"Abandon Ship!" the captain ordered. Some crew got up and four lifeboats were even launched, but the founds came. The ship exploded, and most of the crew was killed instantly. The captain was among them.

The remaining ships of the blockade went into disarray. The warships destroyed the remaining ships in minutes, all except one. The guns on the last ship were destroyed, but it still floated. A boarding party boarded the ship and captured the crew.

The first battle of the second great war was finished in minutes, with the Empire's first victory. The Ships all started to dock, and the troops left the ship. The guards in Yoron fought back, but they stood no chance. The city was fully taken in under an hour.

After the battle, the city of Yoron was renamed to New Mistral. The invasion force was now in Vale, and this caused alarm in the Alliance meeting.

"They're in Vale. The enemy is in Vale. We need to get our forces out of Vytal. It's obvious that Vox didn't plan on invading it. It was a diversion." Cried one of Vale's councilmen.

"We did what we thought would leave us in the best position. We had ten ships at Yoron. We weren't expecting them to send an invasion fleet that large. No force we have currently can take out that fleet." A Vacuoo councilmen said.

"Let's take a second to think rationally, the area around Yoron is covered by valleys and mountains. They can't get to a good strategic place to attack us." One of Vale's generals said

"Who here has fought in a war before." Jedi Master Roni asked. Roni is one of the few Jedi on Remnant that were from the other galaxy. She was a Jedi master before Order 66, who fled with her apprentice, Vuren. She was asked to go to the meeting by the Grandmaster.

Like she expected, no one rose their hand. Remnant hadn't had a war in over one hundred years.

"Well I have. I will have you know that this is exactly what the empire wants us to do. They want to split us into sides. This isn't an election, this is war. So, get all that Kriffing bickering out of here. This is how we end up getting people killed. We have a natural defensive wall that we can protect. If we don't then they have access to us. We need to stop them from moving in."

"How are we going to do that?"

"There is a city, Pear, which is at the perfect defensive spot. We have it under our control, and it's a self-sufficient city. They have everything they could need, and it's at the exact center of the only road that leads from Yoron to Vale. We go on the defensive until we can mount a counter attack."

"That would be too costly to send a large force to Pear. We can only send in people from the air.

"Then built a droid factory outside the city." Roni sat back in her chair

"I like the idea." Ironwood said.

"I think it is a good Idea. I can round up some hunters and send them to the city." Ozpin said.

"I'll see if we can send a Jedi or two to the city" Roni added.

"I guess that we're all in agreement than? Let's go with the Jedi's plan" the Atlas councilman said. They all agreed and got up.

Roni stopped Ozpin and Ironwood before they left the room.

"I want to talk to you both."

"You have our ears."

"Don't send anyone into Yoron. It is going to be the most heavily defended city. For now, consider it a part of the empire. If you don't then we will throw away lives. The master asked me to remind you that the Jedi order is quite small, even with the twenty new padawans. We number under eighty. We can't win this war alone. We must stick together. I do thank you both for helping my order, but we need to take care of ourselves."

"Of course." Ozpin said.

"I need you to swear that you won't go."

"You have my word. My word is my bond." Ozpin said.

"I would follow your lead no matter what." Ironwood said.

"Thank you." Ozpin walked away, but Ironwood didn't.

"Yes?" Roni asked.

"You fought in a war. If you would, I would appreciate if you would tell me some stories. It may be beneficial to learn from the only veteran." Ironwood said. "We… could even do it over some coffee?"

Roni smiled.

"Are you trying to flirt with me?"

"No, no, I like to think that you could teach me somethings that could help me lead. Truth is that I haven't been in a real battle that wasn't against mindless Grimm. You on the other hand, you have lived through an entire war. I could learn a thing or two from you."

Roni didn't point out that he just repeated himself. He was nervous.

"We're both busy, but I'll see if I can find time." She started to walk away "Oh and by the way, I don't like coffee."


Karel read the newspaper and read the headline about Yoron.

"I feel so useless being stuck here. My leg's a lot better now." He tried to get up from his wheelchair, but he fell.

"No, you're not better. And you won't be if you keep on moving like that." Bora said. She picked him up and sat him back in the wheelchair.

"I also hate having to be babied. I'm a Jedi knight." He said

"Well Jedi knight, even Jaune could beat you right now."

"Hey, that's rude." Karel said. "I could still beat him." He whispered. Bora smiled. She went into her desk and pulled out a bacta bandage.

"How long have you had that?" Karel asked

"Since I sacked the star destroyer's medical wing. I thought that we could use it."

"Please put it on my leg."

"This should heal you as if a week passed. I have about thirty others, so in a few day's you can be good as ever." She put the bandage on his leg, and Karel immediately felt better.

"Thanks" He said

"We need you to be good as ever."

"Yeah, I have a war to fight." He said.

"You mean we have a war to fight. Wherever you go I go." Bora placed her hand on Karel's face. "except for the shower."

"I don't smell that bad."

"You could have fooled me." Bora said. She pushed him to the bathroom and closed the door behind her.

"You know, this reminds me of something." Vuren said. She walked into the room as Bora walked out of the bathroom.

"What does this remind you of?"

"Nothing. So, where is he?"

"He smells."

"NO, I DON'T" he said from the bathroom.

"Report 1: It's two days after we landed in Vale, and we have a firm grip on the land. Last night a hunter, with thirty others tried to assassinate me, but they were discovered and all eventually killed, except for the hunter. The hunter refuses to tell me who sent him. I've already broken most of him. Lord Watu got some information out of him, nothing useful. The hunter says that he's here alone. We're going to publicly execute him tomorrow. If he is rescued, then it shows that he was lying. If he doesn't, then we have one less pest." Gran spoke into a recorder.

"Sir, the Empress wants an update." An imperial captain said.

"Patch her in."

"Already done." At a comm in Gran's room appeared a hologram of Empress Vox

"What do you have to update?" Vox said.

"I just recorded my first update. I'll send it to you after we end. We have taken the city of Yoron." He said

"I know this. I also know that you have Alliance prisoners."

"I do. They can be a bargaining chip. We have sixty troops, and when we lose our first battle, we can get the survivors back."

"Or you could execute the prisoners or enslave them."

"I have them working already. I would suggest in not killing them just yet. We should leave them in reserve so if the Alliance ever kills prisoners we'll have justification to kill them, or we can get people back."

"Send me one tenth of the prisoners. I have some experiments I would like to perform on them."

"Yes, my Empress." Gran said. Vox ended the call. Gran sent her the report and called for one of his underlings.

"Yes sir." The person he called for said.

"What is your name?"

"Cella Raye." She said. Cella was a human woman, about twenty, tall, the definition of proper, with red hair.

"Well, Cella, you are going to pick six prisoners and take them to the Corvette Goodwin. What is your rank?"

"Petty officer First Class."

"I promote you to senior chief petty officer. After you take the six to Goodwin, take enough droids to take that ship back to Mistral. I'll do all the paperwork, but I need these prisoners to be taken as quickly as possible." Gran said

"Yes sir, Thank you sir." She went to check on the prisoners and chose six, all but one were men. The woman was a faunus, while the men were mixed.

She did as she was told and started on her trip back to Mistral.

"Who wants the prisoners?" Cella asked herself.


Year 0 Month 0 Day 09

Cella woke up and was being tugged by an imperial ship. She looked around the cabin she was in and saw white fang, and elite troops everywhere.

"What's happening?" She asked

"You're going to meet with the Empress." One of them said.

Cella felt the blood drain from her face.

"What did I do wrong?"

"Nothing. It's because you're doing what she asked. She wants to personally thank you." The troop said.

Time passed, and the ship stopped. A Helicopter landed on the deck, and Empress Vox came out of it. Everyone kneeled, including Cella. Vox walked up to Cella and looked at her.

"I see you are the one who's delivering my present. I thank you, now I have a helicopter with your name on it." Vox showed Cella the helicopter, and two troops grabbed her brought her on board. The Helicopter flew away.

Vox smiled and went below deck to examine the new specimens. She needed to get all the rust off her alchemy. She looked at her specimens. She stopped at the woman.

"You are going to be prefect." The woman looked at Vox and she could only see death in her eyes.

Author's notes: The first battle has been completed. I'd like to thank Google and for this chapter. Without these I would have been completely lost.

The war has started in full now.

Everything is going to get worse before it gets better.

Remember, I'm still taking OCs.

I hope you like this one.

May the Force be with you
