Welcome back to the second chapter of the story and I'm glad to get some reviews for the story. I appreciate it guys and I know my friend appreciates it too. As I said in my last chapter my friend wishes to remain anonymous so his identity is kept a secret. I also want to say to Wolf, who left a review on the last chapter.

I think once you read what we have in store for this story you will not be disappointed. At least we hope you won't be disappointed. Now let's get started since I doubt anyone is reading this. My friend and I don't own anything of Power Rangers or Star Wars just our OC. Let the next chapter started and we hope you enjoy this.

Long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…

Power Rangers Star Knights

The Clone Wars continue to rage across the galaxy.

The Clone Wars has entered its second year and many lives have been lost on both sides with the war showing no signs it will end.

Even planets that had remained neutral have come under attack and forced many of them to choose a side fight on. Even planets that are allies to the Republic are being under attack. Planets like the home world of Almora.

Almora was attacked weeks ago by Separatist forces led by General Grievous. However, the forces of Almora were able to keep the enemy back and forced the Separatist to retreat.

Despite the victory, many lives were lost. There was also the issue that the Republic forces had not send any aid to assist the planet. Not even the Jedi Order were called to help fight against the invasion.

This has caused the people of Almora to believe the Republic has turned their backs on their ally and even intentionally wanted them to be defeated. Other allied systems found out about this and have joined Almora's side feeling the Republic had done this intentionally. Even some have considered leaving the Republic.

In order to avoid more systems leaving the Republic, the chancellor has asked for a meeting with the senator of Almora. To discuss with the Senate to see if there is a peaceful solution they can reach to avoid any conflict.

Alexis Nite, the senator for the planet of Almora has been sent as a negotiator for her people to discuss about this problem. Hoping to find out why the Republic did not come to their aid and solve this in a diplomatic way.

Senate Building

Chancellor Palpatine stands in the middle of the Senate speaking to the people of the Republic to remain silent so they may get this meeting under way. Chancellor Palpatine's guard talks out loud to get the senators to settle down.

"Order! We will have order! Let the senator speak!"

Alexis Nite stands up and looks around the senate. She appears to be in her 30's despite being 50 years old. She has long blonde hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. She looks around and speaks to the senators.

"My name is Alexis Nite, I represent my home world of Almora to discuss about the situation I know many of you are upset about."

Alexis takes out a holopad and reads from it.

"Our people have been long allies of the Republic even during the great wars of the past. Even now we stood by the Republic and have lent our support in this Clone Wars to bring peace to the galaxy. However, the Republic as of late has not shown any kind of support or has assisted us with the attacks on our planet at the hands of the Separatist unless we become full allies."

Alexis stares at the chancellor.

"That includes forcing us to give up more of our resources, our money, and have military bases be made on our homes just to support this war. That is the only way for the Republic to lend their support to us? To be forced to join you or be destroyed? Well, I have convinced our leaders that we will not be forced into this choice and even though you will not like it. We have decided that our home of Almora, will no longer be an ally to the Republic, and will become neutral."

"B***" Shouted one of the senators in attendance.

"Traitor!" another shouted as more began speaking up, until Chancellor Palpatine puts his hand up to speak up.

"My dear, with all due respect. We had no idea of the invasion until it was too late. I understand your anger and why your people feel we have betrayed you, but let us not rush into anything hasty," said Chancellor Palpatine in a calm tone. "Now, if you do this you must realize you will not receive any assistance from the Republic or its allies. Not even from the Jedi Order."

Alexis didn't let this get to her and spoke in a calm manner. "That's your excuse? We didn't know, sorry? That's the excuse your going to go with? We know for a fact you did receive our message thanks to our new tech that allows us to know if our messages reached our allies or not. And we know you did receive our messages, Chancellor Palpatine."

The chancellor planned to speak up again, but Alexis cuts him off and continued. "Another thing, you think we need your help? When has the Republic send any help for us? When has the Republic send support to protect our world? When has the Republic actually done anything besides take money from their people to support a pointless war?"

This caused more people to boo and yell at her, but Alexis ignored them and continued on.

"Long ago our world gained support from a group of young heroes who protected us. They're gone now, but their bravery helped us become stronger and gave us the strength to protect our home from danger. Our people believed the Republic no longer wants to be our friend and only want to use us…and I agree," said Alexis as she looks around knowing the people will hate what else she will say. "Many of you have become as corrupted and heartless as your leaders. Like the time you put down an innocent and now extinct animal for its skin to manufacture weapons of mass destruction."

"That skin could stop a lightsaber tell me can you find me something made from DNA that could do that?!" Mas Amedda spoke up next.

But Alexis didn't let this stop her argument. "Can your precious weapon protect the trauma you and Count Dooku have put on the children? The children who lost their homes, families, and their innocents? Can your precious Jedi do their jobs and protect the peace instead of being your weapons?"

Alexis then turns to the senators and begins scoffing softly. "Can any of you look your own people in the eye and tell them this war is worth their lives? That it's worth more than their homes and their children?"

Alexis takes a breather before she continues.

"I have visited every one of these planets where the fighting takes place. I have visited every family and citizen. They have told me stories, they have told me their pain, and they all ask the same thing. 'When will this war be over?' A good question, when will it end? It won't. In the end it doesn't matter who wins because in the end your people will lose. While all of you sleep in your fancy homes and eat expensive food. Your people are suffering, and they are dying."

Many senators turn away and are kept silent.

"Until you walk a mile in their shoe then you will never understand what this war is doing to them. I do, my people are going through the same thing and I refuse to let them suffer any longer in this war. Our military pushed the Separatist back and they will continue to do so until this war is over. We are also housing people from your worlds to stay with us until the fighting is over. So call me a traitor, a b***, or any names it will not change my mind."

Alexis then turns to the chancellor. "Chancellor, I do hope when this war is over you are still here. Because when this war ends I will come back and ask for the removal of your position as an incompetent chancellor."

Some senators begin clapping for Alexis, while many stayed silent, including the chancellor who just glares at the woman who remains unaffected.

Alexis soon begins to leave, while Palpatine sat back in his seat. He knew this senator has become a problem. A problem he'll need to have taken care of soon. He begins calling for the meeting to end so he can go back to his office and prepare to get rid of this annoying senator.

Meanwhile

Hoth is a remote, icy planet that was the sixth planet in the star system of the same name. It is also a planet that is not under the control of the Republic or the Separatist. This is mostly due to the intense cold temperatures on the planet and how it has no material either side can use. It is home to several species, but another reason why it is avoided by both sides is because of the Wampas that reside on the planet.

They stand nine-ten feet tall, are extremely dangerous, and live in tunnels beneath the planet's surface, which can allow them to sneak into any bases that try to set up on the planet.

However, it is a planet that a group of archeologists are seen arriving too after one of their probes found something deep beneath the planet. So, they head towards the planet hoping to find what they discovered. They set up a small camp and planned to see what they found.

Once they arrived they entered a large cave where they find a large door. A large metal door that appeared old. About a thousand years old. This fascinated the lead excavator who was curious to know what is behind the door as he has his droids begin prying the door open.

"What do you think is inside?" one of the team members asked.

"Whatever it is must be really important to keep us out," said the lead excavator as the team struggles to open the door.

After what seems like hours they managed to crack the door open. As the team prepares to go inside they hear something coming from the hole they made. It sounds like a low growl. The team takes out their weapons and aims it at the door thinking it's an animal.

"Should we open fire?" another team member asked. "You think it's a Wampa?"

"Hold on, I see something," said the lead excavator noticing something moving inside the room.

The growl begins to get louder until the team sees a large shape. The next thing they see is a pair of red eyes glowing from the room. The eyes stare at the team who begin to feel scared. The figure stares at the team before it lets out a loud roar and charges in at them as the team lets out a loud ear-piercing screams that can be heard up in the surface of Hoth before it dies down.

Uh oh, what did those people find? Whatever it is it can't be good. I want to thank my friend for his help on the story. As far as the Power Rangers appearing, it will take time don't worry they will appear in the story.
