Chapter 6
Year 0 Month 1 day 20
The war has been raging on across the world. The Empire has been marching across Vale. The empire has been slowly marching towards city of Pare. The Alliance has been sending many troops to the city to meet the eventual imperial army.
Roni knew she had a few Jedi who she could send. She wasn't going to send team RWBY again. They fought well, but that was a slow and small battle. Jash Beam was gone, Arin Jones was leading a battle. Gael and her apprentice, Xar could go. She could send them, but not just them. Xar still had dark tendencies.
Roni walked into the Jedi council room. She sat in her seat and waited for the other master. They walked into the room and took their seats.
"I need help. Who should I send to Pare?"
The other masters started to think about it.
"Who do you have going now?" One of the masters asked.
"I would think that Gael and Xar should go." Roni said.
"Xar was once a Sith, is he able to be trusted?" The Jedi master Emerald Ray said. She was born on Remnant, and she was a human. She was from Atlas, and her robes had the symbol of Atlas on it. She was a politician for Atlas.
"It has been over a year. He hasn't been infected with the Dark side for the past year." Another master, Jedi master Vester Brock said. He was from Vale. He was the physically strongest Jedi in the council. He was the one who made the Holo to call the Jedi to Beacon.
"I don't know if he can be fully trusted. Let's send at least one more Jedi. Pare will be a large battle." The grandmaster said.
"Who should that be?" Roni asked
"I would suggest taking Jedi knight Karel Allusis. He has healed fully, and he has yet to go to any of the battles." The third master, Jedi master Razz Black said. Razz Black was from Vacuoo.
"Are you sure? He does have battlefield experience…" Roni thought about it. No one would be better for this fight. "I think we'll have to do this."
Roni called Karel, Gael, and Xar to the temple. They all came.
"Master Roni are going someplace?" Karel asked.
"Yes. I have conferred with the other Jedi masters. We have decided you three are the best for this mission." Roni said
"We understand." Gael said
"But I will be bringing Bora, as my second." Karel said
"Agreed."
"When are we going?" Karel asked again.
"We need you out there as soon as possible. You'll be meeting up with a hunter team that's already out there. Team BGND. The team leader will help you in the defense of the city. May the force be with you"
"And you master Roni." Gael said. She and Xar got up, but Karel asked a question
"What's the leader's name? That would be very helpful."
"It's Patrick Browne." Roni said
"Thank you."
Karel walked into his room and rolled on his bed. Bora was on the bed and she jumped up. She relaxed when she saw it was Karel.
"What are you doing in my bed?" She asked
"This is my bed. Yours is on the other side of the room."
"Your back early. Where are we going?"
"You're perceptive. We're going to Pare. Someone's going to have to defend it." Karel says.
"Yeah, Yeah." Bora opened her eyes, and Karel noticed they weren't red.
"Are you wearing contacts?"
"No. I wore contacts when we first meet, but I haven't worn them for a while. How did you only now just notice?"
"I never knew they were green."
"Let's get ready to go." Bora gets off the bed first and she pulled out a backpack. "Alright, I'm done packing"
"That's why I love you." Karel says. He gets up and gets his lightsabers.
"I got to call Gael and Xar. They're coming with us."
"Do you have your ship back?"
"I better have my own kriffen ship at this point. They left a month ago."
"You better check."
"I better lock it down. They just take it half the time."
"Yeah…" Bora remembered when she took it to help blake with something.
"It's docked. We can get to it." Karel get his stuff and walks out of the Room.
Bora smiled. She grabbed a second bag and followed Karel.
"Gael, Xar, this is Karel. I have my ship ready. Meet me there." Karel sends the coordinates to the Jedi and gets on his ship. When he got on he smiled. His ship was still the same as he left it.
"Wait up." Bora said.
"Sorry. I didn't realize that you were that far behind."
"I had to carry two bags."
"I thought you only had one."
"One for weapons and one for clothes, or do you want me to have to wear this one set of clothing?"
"Alright." Karel went to the cockpit and looked out the window. He sat down in the co-pilot chair and took a deep breath. Bora sat down in the pilot chair and looked at Karel.
"This ship reminds me of our galaxy." Bora said.
"It reminds me of my master. She loved this ship."
Karel's scroll buzzed. He pulled it out and saw that Gael and Xar were arriving. He got up and went to the bottom of the ramp.
"We're here." Gael said
"Just over here." Karel waved. Gael and Xar walked up, both with bags.
"Thank you." Xar said
"We need to get to the city quickly. We have no idea when the empire will start the attack." Karel said
"Let's hope we'll get there in time." Xar said
"We can get there fast enough." Karel said
Karel, Xar, Gael, and Bora got on the ship and flew towards the city of Pare. A few miles away from the Alliance Base. Bora sent the confirmation codes and landed behind Alliance lines.
"This is where the fun begins" Karel said
They got out of the ship, to be met with a squad of Alliance soldiers.
"Jedi. We would like you to follow us. The CO would like to strategize with you." The squad leader said. She led the group to one of the buildings in center of the city. The CO was sending out commands, to raise the defenses, and to call for a battalion of Altesian Knights to help defend the city
He turned around and took a breath.
"I'm Commander Soleil from Atlas." He took out a pocket watch and closed it. "We're behind schedule. Let's make this quick."
"When is the empire going to get within firing range?" Karel asked.
"Our best estimate is within two days."
"And we know that they'll probably attack from the east side." Gael said
"If they take the river, they'll have the mobility advantage." Soleil said. He brought up a map. It showed Pare and everything around it. Pare was built on an island and has two main bridges on the East and West sides of it. The river drains into the ocean and starts at a large freshwater lake. On the outskirts of the town were the suburbs, and a after that the farms. Pare was almost a city state.
"When they come, they'll try to get the farming land. They'll need to feed their troops and starve us." Soleil said
"We should send out an advance force to meet them in the farms. If they take the farms we move back to the suburbs. Every time we give up land we make it a costly endeavor." Xar said
"We don't have unlimited man power." Soleil said.
"I know that. We lay traps. We have to make sure if they come into the city, they will have lost more a lot of people." Xar explained.
"We can't just lay traps wherever we please."
"Who says?"
"Xar, that's enough" Gael said. Xar stopped
"Excuse me." Xar said.
"What my apprentice was trying to say is that we have to make it a hazard to cross the open. We can place mines around. There is no need to destroy property." Gael explained.
"We have guns pointed at the forest's edge. If something moves, we'll kill it."
"Let's hope so." Bora said. "But let's not forget that their may be a Sith in this battle."
"That's what you Jedi are for." Soleil said.
A soldier entered the building
"Sir, we have reports of enemy spies." The troop held out a datapad.
"Give it here."
Soleil looked over the reports.
"Two dozen confirmed imperial scouts. We don't have long before they finally decide to attack. Get those mines placed."
The alliance worked through the night preparing the defenses.
Month 1 Day 21
The day was spent working. Everyone knew that it was the last day before the empire started its siege.
As the sun fell, and the lights came up, the work force shifted. The work continued. Karel was with Bora on top of one of the city's towers. He looked over the edge of the tower and saw only troops working. He pulled out a piece of chalk and started to write a bunch of numbers down on the rooftop. Bora walked u behind him.
"It's really hard to make calculations for firing when the enemy hasn't even arrived." She bent down and looked over his math.
"Negative four, not four." She said. She pointed at a part of the calculations.
"Thanks." Karel said. He fixed his work and picked up a rock. He threw it over the edge of the building, following his calculations. He used the force to make sure it was straight. Karel didn't see where it landed, but his test was successful.
"Something tells me something big will come through there." Karel said.
"If something does come through, I'm sure the gunner will be glad you did his work for him." Bora grabbed the chalk from his hand.
"It's late. We're going to battle tomorrow." Bora tried to get Karel to stop worrying.
"The last time I fought, I failed to protect Whitley. I lost when the inquisitor attacked Beacon. You killed him." Karel said
"So you lost a few times. Get over yourself. These men are scared, but they don't run, or do something stupid."
"If something were to happen to you…" Karel started
"I wouldn't blame you. Get that through your skull, no matter what happens to me, I won't blame you. You can't save everyone."
"I hate when everyone says that." Karel shook his head "I'm only mortal. I know that, but Jedi. We are meant to be more."
"Many Jedi get themselves killed. I don't want you to be another one of them." Bora pulled out a water bottle and gave it to Karel. "You haven't drunk anything. You still need to keep yourself healthy."
"Thanks." Bora got her jetpack out of her bag. She started to tinker with it. When she was done she put it on and pulled out her helmet. She put it on and sat next to Karel. He knew he needed sleep. He could feel exhaustion come over him.
"I set up a tent on the floor below us." Bora said. She got up and went into the tent. A few minutes later, Karel entered the tent. It was large enough for the two of them, and all the equipment.
"You get that sleeping bag." Bora said.
Karel got in the sleeping bag, and quickly drifted to sleep.
Month 1 Day 22
A large bang awoke Karel and Bora. Karel quickly got out of the tent and rushed towards the top of the building. It was early in the morning, but the Empire didn't care. Xar and Gael were somewhere in the city. Karel sent a message out with his Scroll
"They're here." He sent.
"We know" Gael said.
Bora got to the top of the building. Karel turned around and shook his head.
Bora ran towards him, grabbing him and jumped off the building. She turned on her jetpack and they flew towards the battle.
Gael and Xar were in the farms, waiting for the empire to show itself. She had a gun pointed at where the force was telling her. She waited and saw imperials move out of the forest. She sent a message to the gunner she had stationed, and the blast came. She watched as a squad of imperials were blasted away. She turned towards Xar
"It's time." She got a message from Karel and she answered it. She turned on her green lightsaber and jumped out of the farm. A squad of imperials were coming out of the forest and started to fire at Gael. She deflected the bolts fired at her.
A loud cry came from the forest and from the trees hundreds, or thousands of imperial troops, both human and faunas, both living and robotic, came from the trees. Gael stationed a few hundred troops. They were going to have to fight if they wanted to survive. She started to deflect the bolts and move back. A droid stepped on a mine. It blew up, as well as dozens of other imperials.
"Those mines are affective." Gael said to Xar. Xar smirked.
"Of course, they are. It was my idea." His new blue blade shined. He and Gael had each other's backs.
Karel and Bora landed in the suburbs. Bora knew where she could go. She planted a sniper rifle on the house she landed on. She got it out and looked at the crowd coming from the forest.
"You've got an ocean of fish to choose from." Karel said.
Bora fired but it didn't help. Whenever she killed someone, they would just be replaced. A few tanks came out of the forest, firing at the fields.
"They're just throwing their troops at us." Karel said. He heard a familiar noise and looked up. The Empire send a bombing squad to their location.
"They're trying to push up back immediately. Do they even have a plan?"
Lord Watu looked at the reports that his scouts were able to get. They placed heavy gunnery at the tops of all the buildings. They wanted him to throw his troops at them. He liked the challenge. He sent a small portion of his army to test out the waters.
The Alliance placed mines, but they did it in a pattern. He two Jedi but suspected more were in the city. The River was wide enough to send one of the ships us it, but it would have to be one of the smaller ships. He would send up reinforcement through that. He had four bombing squads on hand. His camp was easily movable.
"I want to get a foothold in the area. We'll get the guns to point at the forces who will be moving up first. After a short time, we'll send in the bombers to take out the guns. Once the guns are gone then we will be safe to move in." Watu explained to his officers.
"What about those who go out first?"
"They'll have to get to safety or suffer the consequences. The area is littered with farms, fields of crops, homes. They just need to be quick."
Lord Watu sent out his force. Some were shot at as soon as they left the safety of the trees, but others were able to freely move. He sent out a few of the tanks to give some cover for the first wave. He waited until the Jedi revealed themselves.
Karel looked at the building. All the bombers dropped their loads. Many of the buildings on the eastern end were damaged. The guns shot at were destroyed. A second wave came out of the forest. Karel took out binoculars and looked at the people coming out of the forest. They were large. They were droids. They were like super battle droids. Bora fired at one, and it died. She reloaded.
"They got bigger, so what?" The troops in the fields fired back at the oncoming army. This reminded Karel of the battles he fought in.
"They have a Sith."
"You can sense him?"
"I can feel the darkness." Karel took out his lightsaber and jumped down from the house. A bomber was coming towards the house that Bora was on. She noticed, and got off, before it was blown away. Bora got up from the ground and ran towards Karel. She threw down the sniper on the ground and pulled out her pistols
Karel and Bora rushed to the front of the battle. Alliance and Imperial troops were firing at each other, bodies falling.
Karel jumped out of a field of corn and cut a droid in half. He used the force to push a small group into each other. He rushed forward slicing down imperials moving towards the darkness he felt.
Lord Watu saw a Jedi rushing towards his direction. He pulled out his lightsaber and moved forward.
Watu held his lightsaber up to block the attack from the Jedi. The Jedi jumped and made a downward slash at him. Watu saw the look on his face
"What?"
"You're a Sith."
"Yes, and you're a Jedi."
"No, you're a pure blood Sith. You shouldn't be alive."
"What's that?" Watu pushed the Jedi back. His race must be extinct now.
"Your people are dead. The republic killed them." The Jedi started to attack Watu with form I. Watu noticed this quickly. He went on the offensive and used his form V. Watu's strength overpowered the Jedi's defense, for a few seconds The Jedi switched lightsaber forms.
"Do you think you can stand against my attack?"
Waku changed his lightsaber style. Form VII. His strikes were powered by his hate of the Jedi. He kept pounding on the Jedi, but he kept blocking. The Jedi broke off the engagement.
Karel knew that he would have to catch the Sith off guard. He turned around and jumped into the corn field. He turned off his lightsaber and waited
"Coward" The Sith called out
The Sith walked into the corn maze. He turned his lightsaber off. An Alliance troop was unfortunate enough to run into Waku. Waku cut the troop in half, but he didn't notice the blue blade coming at him until the last second. The blade ran across his cape. Karel turned off his lightsaber and moved back into the corn.
"Fight me!" Waku cut down the corn around him.
Bora got her weapons ready. The next time Karel would attack the Sith she would fire an electric shock at him.
Karel rushed at Waku. Waku turned his lightsaber on and met the blade with his own. They were in a gridlock, when Waku felt a shock in his back. Karel pushed their lightsabers up and punched Watu in his chin. He used the force to push the Sith put of the Corn.
A wall of Sith War Droids came out of the forest. Watu got up and order them to fire at the corn. They fired, but Karel was already gone with Bora.
The Alliance brought in a squad of snub fighters and destroyed a few bombers. The Alliance troops were moving out of the farmland into the suburbs, including Gael and Xar. Karel and Bora got close to where they were before. The suburb was full of Alliance troops waiting for the Empire to get ambitious.
Watu decided that he would command his troops in battle. He ordered the troops to move forward. They moved out of the farm fields and moved into the suburbs. Each house had a few Alliance soldiers in them, so when the imperials moved in, they were slaughtered. A Tank moved into the main road of the suburbs, moving towards the bridge, but it didn't get far. Xar jumped on top of it and sliced into it. He tossed a grenade in it and watched it explode.
A war droid walked into the street and fired at Xar. He wasn't paying close attention and almost got blasted. Gael jumped and grabbed Xar. She threw her lightsaber into the droid and called it back.
"You Idiot! Keep your eyes on the battle!"
"Sorry master." He dodged an imperial trying to stab him. He grabbed the imperial and threw him into a house. "I know what me dying would do to your reputation."
Gael used the force to grab the tank and throw it into another war droid. "That's not why I'm mad. I don't want to lose you." Gael "Move!" She jumped to the left, while he moved the right. Part of a bomber crashed down in the street.
"What do you mean?" Xar asked. He used the force to grab a grenade in the air, and he tossed it back to where it came from.
"I don't have time to explain right now." Gael used a force push to throw a squad of imperials away.
Karel dropped behind Gael and Xar
"We've lost 3rd north to 8th. Ten more tanks are moving up. Where is that Hunter team we were promised?"
A man in powered armor flies and launches a beam attack into a war droid, destroying it. The suit is a brown and whitish color. There was a large glowing center to it and a mask shaped like a face.
The suit is holding something that looks like a Z-6 rotary blaster cannon. And it fired on the squad the Gael threw away. It then landed, and the mask lifted up. A person was inside of it.
"I'm Patrick Browne. Leader of team BGND"
"Where's the rest of your team?"
"Cleaning up in north 6th street."
"Why are you out here?"
"I needed to inform you that we are here, since we haven't met yet."
From the pile of tank came an explosion. Waku with half a dozen war droids appeared. Everyone got ready for the fight. Before the fight could begin a bullet rips through the air hitting a war droid. Another hunter drops down
"Tyler, did we take care of the problem?" Patrick was addressing Tyler Nickelson. He wore a Nickel grey T-shirt that has his emblem on it, A darker shaded grey skull with a recital right between the eye sockets, on the back, blue jeans, and blue sneakers.
"Yeah, the others should be getting here soon."
"Good." Patrick's mask goes back down. He flies up and tried to fire his gun, but it's out. He takes out the container of dust, and Tyler shoots it. The blast knocks Watu off balance and destroys a war droid. Patrick pulls twin pistols he calls Lasermores. He flies behind Watu and fires at him, but Watu swats the bullets away. Karel jumps on a war droid and destroy it. Xar and Gael destroy the other war droids. Waku is all alone. He grabs Patrick with the force and tosses him on the ground, then into Tyler. Waku then starts to attack the three Jedi.
"A.L.I.S, systems check." Patrick said
"All fine here sir." The AI said
"Good." Patrick got back up and put his pistols away. He pulled out his weapon called scatter master. He flew up to Waku and tried to fire at him, but that didn't work. Waku sliced the gun in half with one stroke, and disarmed Patrick with a second. The Jedi all push Waku back, and rush for Patrick. Tyler rushes to his leader and looks at the wound.
Tyler grabbed Patrick and started to drag his leader away. Patrick held off the pain and stood up.
"I need to leave. We need to leave. The Empire… took south and north." Patrick used his suit to fly towards the city. Karel and the rest of them fled into the city.
Karel knew the Alliance had one more trick up its sleeve. He called Bora and she went to the building they were in the night before. At this point the whole day had gone by. Karel looked out over the fields and saw dead bodies everywhere. Blood pooling up. Bora got in the building, and she had blood coming from her lip.
"What happened to you?" Karel asked
"I said something about this imperials mother, and took offense to that, so they punched me. I shot them in the face."
"What about your helmet?"
"I took it of long before then. It got dented and ruined all the nice things I put on it. Looks like were moving to the googles." Bora smiles. Karel wipes the blood away.
"Want to watch the start of a siege?" Karel asked
"What do you mean?" Bora asked.
Karel walked to a window. A shield came over the city. The Last of the bombers crashed into the shield as they were about to go on another bombing run.
"Our forces are so strong over the bridge that they won't be able to cross it for a while. We can take a breath."
"How did you know the city had a shield generator?" Bora asked.
"I looked at some of the stuff Soleil had in his office." Bora smiled.
"You're a clever one."
"More like observant." Karel went over to Bora and pulled out a med kit.
"While we have some time, lets get you patched up." Karel got out a rubbing alcohol. He cleaned Bora's wound.
"Thanks. Bora put her head on Karel's shoulder.
He pulled out a rations pack.
"We need to eat up." Karel said
"Yeah." Bora and Karel ate.
After they ate Karel asked, "Where's your helmet?"
"In the tent with all our stuff. Why?"
"Would you mind if I use the metal for something?"
"For what?"
"Something"
Bora though about it for a few seconds.
"Sure. You can have it." Karel kissed Bora. "Thanks love."
"It better be something good that you use the metal for."
"It will be. Trust me."
Karel knew what he would use the metal for.
Soleil knew this battle just became a siege, so he needed some reinforcements to replace all the men he lost today, and everything he would need to run the army.
"Request more Jedi. We need more Jedi if we are to hold this city." Soleil said.
He hoped that his request would be received, and it would be given the seriousness it deserves.
"Are you sure that's not asking for too much?" one of the officers said
"We need the force on our side, as well as more fighters. If we control the air, then we can control the ground."
"Yes Sir." That officer left
"Sir, here are the numbers of dead on our side." Soleil took the paper and looked at it.
They had lost over three thousand men today, with many more wounded.
Soleil took a seat and shook his head.
"What about the hunters?"
"None are dead, one is severely injured."
"What do you mean by severely?"
"He lost an arm."
Soleil looked at his watch. He took a deep breath and closed it.
"The first round was only a few hours. We'll make this battle last longer. Tell me when the Empire get on the bridge. We'll have a surprise for them."
Month 1 Day 23
Roni looked at the request from Pare. She didn't have any idea who to send, when she got an idea. Two more Jedi, Mizuki Muto and Akio Jin. They just got back from a successful attack against the empire. It wasn't anything major, but it should stop them for some time.
Mizuki and Akio walked into the war room.
"I need you two to go to the city of Pare. It is currently under siege. We'll be sending you with reinforcement, and three gray Jedi."
"This battle will be over when we have this many Jedi on the field." Akio said
"The number of Jedi won't win you a battle. I should know." Roni replied.
"We accept the mission." Mizuki said.
"Thank you, oh and one more thing, we need you to deliver this robotic arm to one of the hunters who were in the fight. He met with a Sith Lord, and it didn't go to well."
"We understand."
"Good. If the battle is not finished in three weeks, we will send replacement Jedi, and you'll leave the battle."
"Do you think this battle will last that long?"
"I have no idea. This battle just became a siege." Roni said, "I fear that it will last for too long."
Mizuki and Akio stood up and bowed their heads.
"We'll be out there by the day's end." Akio said.
"May the force be with you."
"And you master Roni." They left the room. Roni pulled up the numbers from the battle. The Alliance lost many men, but the empire lost three for everyone the alliance lost. She had a feeling that this battle will start to move in one direction. If the Alliance can keep this city, the empire will lose face. The Pendulum of war will wave the way of the Alliance.
"I just hope that we can make it swing." Roni said to herself
Waku looked at the numbers. He underestimated the Alliance.
"So the dog has teeth behind its bark. I will not make that mistake again. Captain!"
A captain ran into the command Station. It was in the suburbs.
"Yes my lord?"
"Order the Mark II war droids. One thousand of them will do nicely. We'll level the city."
"Yes sir." The captain left the house. Waku looked through the files. The Jedi he fought the previous day seems to have a reputation. He's from their galaxy. That would change things. He also fought at the so-called battle of Beacon. Some of his men would find that very interesting.
"I will place a one million Lien bounty on the Jedi."
Empress Vox called. Waku answered.
"Lord Waku how goes the battle?"
"We have pushed the Alliance into the city, but they have a strong shield around it."
"That could complicate things. I have received the order on the Mark II droids. This request is filled."
"I have one more request, mark the Jedi Karel Allusis with a bounty."
"Allusis. Agreed. What was the price you thought of?"
"One million Lien."
"To kill an Allusis, it is granted."
"Thank you, empress."
"Do not fail me."
"When have I failed you?"
Vox ended the Call. Waku turned around and ordered an officer to gather together fifty of the best scouts.
"We need to find that shield generator. Order our tanks to fire the smoke shots."
"It will be done."
Karel sat in a building writing something on the ground. Bora walked up to him.
"What are you doing now?"
"I'm letting my creativity flow." Karel was writing poems on the ground.
"Isn't there something more proactive you can be doing?"
"No. Should I grow a beard."
"No." Bora said immediately.
Karel stopped writing.
"Something's wrong."
"What is it?"
"I feel something…" Karel went to the window and saw smoke covering the bridge.
"Do you have a thermal scope?"
"yeah, here it is." Bora looked down her sniper's scope and saw people moving across the bridge. She fired a shot, hitting the lead. The others scattered into nearby buildings.
"Commander Soleil, this is Jedi Karel Allusis, the empire sent in a small group of soldiers, be on high alert."
"Copy. How many?"
"More than thirty but less than sixty." Bora said. She didn't have much time to count.
"Between 30 and 60"
"What is the empire trying to do? That's a suicide mission for so few troops."
"They're trying to find the Shield Generator." Karel said.
An alert went across all the Alliance communication waves in the area.
"Enemies Spotted. Stay on high alert" Went over the radios.
"They know were here." Said Jet. She dropped the body of an Alliance troop. Echo laughed.
"That means we have to be more careful." Echo and Jet arrived late in the night. Stedam thought they could be useful.
"Or have some fun." Jet wore Echo's old mask. She adjusted it to fit her needs, but it was basically the same.
Echo's mask had two vials of poison on it. The mask would open the mouth and poison would come out. His mask had an air filtration system to keep the poison out.
"What's that?" Jet asked, she looked out the window and saw five Alliance ships drop by the edge of the city.
"The second day starts" Echo said.
Author's notes: Pare will be a very important battle in the second great war.
Remember, even now, you can affect the story, by sending me OCs.
I hope this is going to be well liked.
May the Force be With You
