I have decided it's time to return to Earth and start our home planets fight against the separatist forces. While I did want to do a clone-based chapter, I'd figured I wait for that opportunity for the final battle and bring in a few other clones we know.
Before I start, I would like to apologize for the many spelling and grammar errors that were seen in my last few chapters. Somehow, the spell check part of the Microsoft document wasn't working so I only just got it fixed. Sorry if I got any of you confused.
Onto the Reviews.
1049: Glad you liked the reference to Gears of War.
Mpowers45: Glad you liked the chapter and I can assure you that you will like this chapter.
Spartan-626: Having HK-47 use weapons like the HK416 and MG5 does sound like a good idea. Glad you liked my last chapter. I was hoping I did a good job with the way I did HK-47. I will admit, I have not played the Knights of the Old Republic games seeing as I never heard of them when I was younger, but I know the games by heart.
Cronus Prime: Great to hear from you again and I am glad you liked my last chapter. You are indeed correct, when Robert gets his hands on Tarkin the Jedi hating bastard will get what he deserves. Troops and guns won't save Tarkin's ass, especially after what he's done to Ahsoka. Your comments are too kind.
Reviews done, time for my last chapter of Star Wars month before I return to Mobile Suit Rwby for a bit. Disclaimers are the same as before, please enjoy.
Chapter 27: Wolverines

Peterson AFB, Colorado Springs, Colorado

Normal point of view
Inside the headquarters of the North American Aerospace Defense Command or NORAD, satellites were tracking numerous bogies approaching the North American continent from numerous locations. "Sand Bravo, we're reading 70 bogies in your sector, please verify." NORAD commander Jess Henderson asked the commander of the Nome AFB.
"That's a negative Station, skies are clear. You've got yourself some phantom dots. Over." The Nome base commander replied to commander Henderson.
"Zulu X-Ray 6, signs in your sector some 100 bogies, please advise." Commander Henderson asked the Vandenburg AFB, turning his attention to the blips on the radar heading towards the California area.
"Negative, Station. Scope is clear. I don't know what to tell you, solar interference? Heavy Sunspot activity today." The commander of the Vandenburg base replied.
"Somethings not right." The commander said to himself before turning his attention to the east coast monitors. "Sierra Delta, uh… we may have a minor ACS fault here. Do you have anything on your scope?" Henderson asked the commander of the Westover AFB.
"THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!" a very alarmed base commander shouted over the radio.
"Sierra Delta, repeat!" Commander Henderson asked shocked.
"I'm looking at unknown fighters over I-95. Where the hell did, they…" The commander began before the transmission was cut. "Sierra Delta, respond. Sierra Delta come in over." Henderson shouted into the radio only to receive an ear full of static.
"Sir you better take a look at what's going on outside." One of the NORAD guards said to the commander. Normally, reestablishing contact with the other bases across the country took priority and Henderson knew, arguing with the guard until both of them heard the sound of gunfire.
Rushing outside the command center, both individuals looked up to see hundreds of unknown ships flying overhead accompanied dozens of C-130 dropping troops and vehicles. "Sir, the emblem on those tanks. There, Black Tusk, True Sons and the Last Man Battalion. PMC's that have been getting new equipment." The guard said as a trio of six-legged vehicles arrived and pointed their guns at the command center. Before the guards could react, the unknown vehicles fired their guns blowing the people that were outside the building to atoms before destroying the building.
It wasn't just the American continent, all across the world air defense facilities were destroyed by either PMC soldiers or the invaders. Aircraft were scrambled to intercept the enemy, but many were shot down by the escorts of the transports. Those that managed to survive bore witness to the most intense dogfight they had ever been in.
In Japan, the JSDF and JSDAF forces quickly organized a defense of their country as the invaders launched an all-out assault. The unknown attackers, quickly made their way across the Japanese homeland and were fighting in the streets of Tokyo. Civilians, foreign and native ran for any cover they could find and prayed they wouldn't be killed. Most of them were captured by the invaders, who were identified as the same attackers from the base in Israel, while others were just gunned down without a second thought. Unlike the rest of the world, who took the testaments of the survivors and wrote them off as crazy, Japanese Defense Minister Taro Kano believed the reports given to him by Yoji Itami, who was an old friend of the minister and began to prepare for an impending attack.
By the minister's orders, all JSDAF F15J and F2B fighters were equipped with an extra 20mm cannon mounted in the same area as the original, given extra ammo for their guns and given a much needed maintance after defense budget cuts.
"This way people, no need to panic. There's plenty of room on the buses and trains. Stay close to your family and you'll be safe." Sergeant Takeo Kurata said to the civilians who were entering the Tokyo station where the evacuation was occurring. One of the civilians, a six-year old British girl was knocked to the ground. Seeing this, the Sergeant helped to her feet and reunited her with her family before his radio crackled and he was called to the perimeter of the evac point.
At the perimeter, Itami, Tomita, Kuribayashi, Kurowawa, Kuwahara and other JSDF soldiers were barely holding the line against the enemy troops. Their firepower was nothing like they saw in the deserts of the Middle East and newer equipment being used by the enemy proved to be a lot more deadly than what they saw in the desert.
Itami emptied an entire magazine from his Type 64 on a single, larger hostile robot and was about to reload before a red projectile grazed his left arm. The pain he felt was like nothing he went through during training and he soon looked up to see his attacker aiming its wrist at him. Before the attacker could fire, a barrage of bullets took it and several other attacking hostiles down.
Turning to the direction of the shot, Itami was relieved to see four U.S Delta Force soldiers coming to the aid of the JSDF as Kurowawa rushed over to tend to his wound. "Thanks for the save Frost. I tell you; these guys are nothing like we faced in the middle east. Seems like they got an upgrade or these are different models all together." Itami said, gritting his teeth as Kurowawa wrapped a bandage around his wound.
"I didn't want to believe that you guys were attacked by terminator like robots, but as of now I can firmly believe you were telling the truth." Staff Sergeant Derek 'Frost' Westbrook replied, firing his XM25 grenade launcher over the head of the leader of the third recon unit taking out a group of hostiles that were about to kill a few wounded JSDF soldiers, allowing the rest of his squad to pull the wounded men back to friendly lines.
While Kurowawa and several other medics tended to the wounded men, Master Sergeant Alex Mann callsign Sandman, Sergeant First Class Ryan Dillion callsign Truck and Sergeant First Class Craig Raeburn callsign Grinch, Team Metal who were sent to assist in training newer JSDF soldiers fired their ACR, MK14 and M4A1 at the enemy units as several JASDF F15J's strafed several approaching hover tanks with cannon fire before pulling up from their run and climbed back above the buildings to reengage the enemy.
Firing one of his AIM-7 Sparrows at a single enemy fighter, JASDF fighter pilot Shin Kazama dived down towards an approaching column of big-wheeled missile tanks approaching the evac point and fired his 20mm cannons. A three second burst of 20mm shells blew three of the tanks to bits before the last tank was taken down by a well-placed round from a Type 10's 120mm cannon. Climbing back above the buildings, Shin picked out a new group of targets a group of bombers heading for one of the N700 Shinkansen bullet trains that were being used to transport survivors away from the city.
"There's no way you guys are harming those civilians." The pilot stated and fired two of his four remaining missiles at one of the bombers before he targeted another bomber and used his last missiles. "Splash two bombers. There's more of them. Shin to base, I could use some support here." Shin called over the radio, gunning down two more bombers with a burst of his cannons.
"Support is on the way Shin, but its going to take some time. We're spread thin as it is." Ground control called over the radio.
"Damn it." Shin cursed as enemy weapon fire flew past his cockpit. Turning his head 180, Shin spotted he had picked up a bogie. One of the scarab shaped fighters. Unlike the other fighters he had encountered, these ones were equipped with some kind of barrier that protected the craft for a short period of time before it was knocked out.
Reducing his speed, Shin allowed the enemy craft to overshoot him allowing the pilot to take the fighter down with a five second burst of cannon fire. He had become an ace in less than a day, but this day wasn't like anything he had anticipated.
It only got worse when several commercial buildings collapsed sending a wave of dust covering the advance of, much to anyone's surprise several dozen grey steeled two legged and four legged 'tanks. Once the dust settled, Type 90, Type 10 and Type 74 tanks aimed their cannons and fired. 120mm and 105 rounds slammed into the hostile armor while JSDF self-propelled artillery launched rockets into the approaching infantry, courtesy of an artillery strike called in by Sergeant First Class Akira Tomita who arrived with Kurata.
81mm mortar rounds along with 203mm howitzer rounds followed the rocket strike and struck the enemy units taking out more hostiles, but the large four-legged armor units survived the barrage and soon opened fire. Red laser rounds blew up the JSDF armor that had just started to retreat while the two-legged units moved forwards picking off any survivors.
"RETREAT! WE CAN'T HOLD THEM OFF WITHOUT ARMOR SUPPORT! FALL BACK!" Sandman shouted at the top of his lungs. The evacuation was complete and the surviving JSDF soldiers hightailed it out of Tokyo defeated but still alive.
The rest of the world wasn't fairing so well as Japan. In Russia on the outskirts of Moscow, Russian BM-21's, BM-27's, BM-30's and Uragan 1M rocket artillery units launched various calibers of rockets at the same units that appeared in Japan, only being able to knock out a few of them before the self-propelled artillery units were blown to pieces. T series tanks managed to get close to the hostile forces and managed to knock out several wheeled tanks but were quickly wiped out by the approaching hostiles as several UFO's larger than any commercial aircraft appeared overhead and began to bombard Russian ground troops.
Russian fighter jets screamed overhead to engage the UFO's only for dozens of aircraft to be blown out of the sky by enemy weapon fire, forcing the survivors to break off their attack and focus on the fighters that the ships launched.
One of the Russian fighters, a MIG 31 targeted a scarab fighter and was about to fire a missile until the aircraft was peppered with green cannon fire, killing the pilot and sending the aircraft spiraling down towards the Russian lines where it then slammed into a BTR-80, killing the crew of the APC.
Watching the carnage from behind a wall of sandbags, Artyom, Anya and Nikolai laid down covering fire for retreating soldiers as soon as they heard president Vladimir Putin's order to retreat so that they may live to fight another day.
From a hilltop several miles away, an extremist by the name of Vladimir Makarov, leader of a terrorist group called the Inner Circle grinned with delight. His former motherland had finally fallen and was now his for the taking.
In France, the French armed forces fought valiantly against the invaders but were quickly overpowered due to the betrayal of several French officials who were revealed to be sleeper agents for the invaders. Despite the surrender, dozens of French soldiers refused to give in and went into hiding and waited for the right time to strike.
Across the English Channel, SAS and UK Task Force 141 soldiers were able to evacuate the civilians in cities like London into the Tube tunnels or across the country with the assistance of Scottish and surprisingly, Irish militia men who had put aside their differences with the English government and fought for the defense of their country. Despite the unified effort, England soon fell to the enemy followed by the rest of Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East and South America.
As for North America, the Canadian and American militaries were crippled due to the loss of Norad and other air defense facilities but they still fought back with the same courage and commitment they showed when they fought the Nazi's during World War 2. But unfortunately, Trump issued an order to all American military forces to cease attacking the invaders and work with them to get rid of the unwanted people in the country. The American military, now aware that their commander in chief had sold their country out to save his own skin or was promised great power by the invaders, refused to follow such an order and continued to fight the invaders.
Outnumbered and outgunned, the militaries of both countries retreated and went into hiding.
At the UN, a UFO landed outside the building and walking out of the ship was Tarkin. Pulling a holoprojector from his breast pocket, Tarkin activated the projector and kneeled down as Sidious appeared in front of him. "My lord, we have taken earth. Your plan worked perfectly." Tarkin proclaimed with delight as Ahsoka was dragged out from the ship behind him.
"Good, good. The Nexus Route is now in our possession and the Republic is none the wiser of our attack. Move forward with the plan, gather the civilians and place them in prison camps. Anyone who retaliates against your forces, kill them. Show this back-water planet what happens when they defy the Separatist Alliance." Sidious instructed his follower, before his image vanished.
What neither of them knew was that in Los Angeles, a very angry and pissed off Velvet Crowe had escaped from prison following the breakout of the other criminals and looked towards the burning city with a renewed promise. Pulling the bolt on the M4 she retrieved from a dead prison guard, she headed into the city ready to fight. "Whoever murdered Laphi has got to be working with these metal bastards. I'll find them and get my revenge." She thought to herself.

Normal point of view
Through the scope of his M200 Cheyenne Tactical sniper rifle, U.S Marine Corp Captain Robert Jacobs targeted a Last Man Battalion soldier and fired. A single .408 CheyTac round penetrated the soldiers body armor turning his insides to jelly alerting the rest of the group the soldier was with, which included several armored invaders. Pulling the bolt back and chambering a new round, Jacobs fired another round from a top the office building he was using as an overwatch position.
Another enemy soldier fell from his sniper rifle followed by several more enemies from another building. Looking over, Jacobs saw several civilians armed with AR-15s rain lead down on the invaders taking them down while suffering a few causalities of their own.
Once the last enemy fell, all members heard the sound of incoming LMB T-84 tanks approaching their position. The civilians, believing themselves to be on a roll fired their rifles at the tanks while others prepared to lob a few homemade bombs at the tanks. They never had a chance to lob the bombs for an enemy gunship appeared and mowed them down with its high-tech weaponry while Black Tusk soldiers mopped up the survivors.
"Damn idiots." He cursed, folding his rifles bipod and quickly fled the area just as the metal invaders entered the building he was using. Slinging his rifle over his shoulder and pulling out his Beretta Cougar 9mm, pulled the slide back chambering a round and hug the nearby wall.
Several of the other world invaders marched up the stairs towards his last position all heavily armed and ready for battle. Rather than engage the hostiles, Jacobs waited for them to pass and once they were clear, he bolted for the exit and ran down a nearby alley, stopping at a manhole cover, pulled it up and entered the sewers, putting the lid on the sewer entrance just in time.
Running through the sewers he arrived at the entrance to another manhole cover, pushed it up scanning the area before climbing out into another alley, pulled a tarp he had placed over his getaway vehicle a 2019 Honda Super Cub, hopped on the bike and vacated the area quickly running through an enemy checkpoint who weren't fast enough to stop him.
He rode his bike for five miles before he arrived at his destination, a factory belonging to Grinder Motors, a car company. Stopping his bike, Jacobs revved his engine several times. This was the signal for the gate to the main factory to be opened. "So, more idiots got themselves killed right Jacobs?" one Connor Morgan asked, scanning the area with his M4 carbine along with four others.
"Sad to say but its true Connor. They think they can act like Rambo and take on an army single handedly without back up is just going to get themselves killed." Jacobs replied and followed Connor into the base of the rising Montrose Resistance Cell.
When their commander in chief ordered them to work with the invaders, Jacobs and Morgan were among those who refused to follow such an order. Sadly, this marked them as deserters and were to be shot on sight.
Lucky for them, Sergeant Paul Jackson, Lieutenant John Vasquez, Staff Sergeant Ron Griggs and other Marines who were stationed at the normal army base Fort Carson, refused this order as well and took them in and began to fight back against the invaders with every bit of strength and weapon they could salvage from the town. Hell, they even managed to get a few civilians to join their group. But despite their numbers and the willingness of their members to fight for their world, The Resistance wasn't fairing so well.
The enemy was well equipped with better weapon, armor and had those unusual tanks and mechs which seemed to be able to withstand most of the resistance's explosives. But despite the advantage, they continued to fight back. They even had help from Rangers Dunn, Ramirez, Foley and Taylor who were stationed at Fort Carson by orders of the President who wanted them to train new recruits in order to keep them quite about the events in the Middle East.
This proved to be a mistake on Trumps part, for when the enemy attacked the men at the base were disorganized and many were gunned down without mercy, some of them who had only just finished their training. Lucky for them, the Rangers rallied the men and pushed the invaders back from the fort before they fled when a second wave of enemies attacked and completely destroyed the base.
Since then, they have been instructing the resistance members on the proper ways to deal with the enemy while trying to contact the rest of the world. They were able to reach other smaller resistance groups across the world using, much to everyone's surprise National Guard radio frequencies. By doing so, it was revealed that Japan was holding fast against the invaders while resistance groups in Europe, Africa and Asia were fairing as best as they could due to the limited resources they had at their disposal.
Smelling of sewer water and trash, resistance personal covered their noses as Jacobs walked to the command center of the resistance base. Conner and Jacobs entered the command center and looked to see Sergeant Foley and Lieutenant Vasquez looking over several maps of the nearby towns for supplies and those willing to fight.
"Captain Robert Jacobs reporting. Those new recruits that were interested in joining us have been wiped out. No survivors." Jacobs said, saluting his superior officers who were then joined by Colonel Rick Marshall another member of the 75th Ranger battalion.
"That's all we needed. Unless we can recruit more members into our cell, we won't be able to take back our country, never mind the world." The Colonel said with anger.
"People of Earth, this is your savior Wilhuff Tarkin, Grand Admiral of the Separatist Alliance." A voice said over the salvaged communication device that the resistance was able to recover. "Many of your leaders have already surrendered and pledged their loyalties to the Confederacy while those among you have refused to surrender." Earth's 'savior' began.
In Japan, JSDF and JSADF forces listened to the message. "Those who fight against the changes brought about by your new protectors are still among your people. These 'resistance groups' are nothing more than terrorists who play the roles of soldiers and promise to free you from the oppression of my security forces. This is a lie." Tarkin's voice said while Itami and several others checked their weapons.
In Russia, Artyom and the platoons he and his allies had gathered in the ruins of Perm when they heard the broadcast. "They cling to the ideas of your countries governments and have led your people to fight against each other rather than working on uniting your planet." Tarkin went on.
"Mudak." Nikolai cursed.
"Their time has passed and now the time for change has come." Tarkin said, clearing his throat.
At the SAS Compound in Credenhill, located in the Herefordshire County of the West Midlands Region of the United Kingdom, Task 141 and 22nd SAS Regiment were tending to the wounded British, Irish and Scottish soldiers and were double checking their inventory of weapons and ammo when Tarkin resumed his speech.
"This is a time that all of you Earthlings should enjoy. For you now have the opportunity to take part in a great military project. Our enemy, the Galactic Republic and its so-called protectors the Jedi will come to your world and will only spread more violence and destruction that has followed them in the three years since a conflict far from your world has started." The Grand Admiral said with delight.
"Bastard sounds like he's one of those old comic book villains those yankee's read." Captain John Price said, smoking his cigar one final time before he threw it to the ground and crushed it with his boot.
"We have in our possession a weapon that can turn the tide of the war against the Republic but it's still incomplete. But with your help, we will complete the weapon and with one shot, we will force the evil Republic to surrender. Rejoice my fellow humans, we will bring about the end of the republic and the birth of a new era to your planet." Tarkin finished.
In Hope County, Nick Rye finished loading up an F-4E's Vulcan Cannon with extra ammo. While Hope County wasn't hit as hard as the rest of the world and the only damage suffered to the valley was to both the road and rail routes that connected the valley to the outside world. It was easy to clear the tunnels and fix the tracks, but it only opened up the path for the forces that came from the stars.
Having fought against an occupation before, the old members of the Hope County Resistance began to take up arms again and fought the invaders with all their might despite the disadvantage in fire-power and armor. But they made up for it with the knowledge of the enemy thanks in part to Robert Lehner, the boy who killed John Seed and unleashed hell with a .50 caliber machine gun. The forces that invaded from space were the Separatist alliance and their soldiers were called battle droids, mechanical soldiers with limited intelligence built for one thing battle. Various models of battle droids existed, ranging from basic infantry units to commando units along with ones that came equipped with personal shield generators.
None of them wanted to believe him, but after seeing the weapon both John and Robert used, they were inclined to believe him. That knowledge proved to be very helpful when the invaders arrived in the valley. When the enemy attacked, they used the knowledge they were given and were able to outsmart the droids in their attempt to take the valley. They weren't without losses however as many Resistance fighters were killed in the initial attack and most of their machine gun equipped trucks were damaged along with the helicopters they had. Fortunately, many resistance members were pilots and with the F8 Crusaders, F4 Phantoms, F-100, F-86 and F-5 fighter jets the Peggie's were able to get their hands on turned the tide in the air battle despite the advantage the enemy had with their more advanced fighters.
Despite lacking missiles for their aircraft, the pilots of the dubbed Hope County Airforce proved to be more than a match for droid fighters, especially since each aircraft was modified to hold extra ammo for the 20mm cannons and .50 caliber machine guns on the fighters.
Climbing into the cockpit of an F8 Crusader, Nick Rye taxied onto the runway and took off to begin his recon mission.
Meanwhile, in New York City the sounds of muffled screams echoed throughout the U.N as droids and PMC soldiers patrolled the building looking for any sign of hostiles. A door on the third floor opened up and exiting the room, Tarkin adjusted his pants before looking back to a crying Ahsoka. This was the fifth time this month that Tarkin had personally interrogated and tormented the former Jedi Padawan, physically and mentally. "Don't you think you're overdoing it? I get that she's your 'property' and all. But haven't you forgotten the girl is pregnant? If you keep this up, then the children she's carrying aren't going to be born in perfect condition." A female Black Tusk soldier named Sandra Quinn, a combat medic who only joined Black Tusk recently said.
"I am fully aware of that fact miss Quinn and I don't care. The children she's carrying are not mine and it fills me with great satisfaction that the girl of the Separatists most vile enemy is being tortured. Once she gives birth to the children, the conditioning for turning her into my slave will begin." Tarkin stated with delight. Quinn protested in anger, but Tarkin reminded her that her job was to check on his prisoner's health and deliver the children when the time came.
As the Separatist Admiral left the medic behind, a smile came across Tarkin's face. "Jedi can sense the pain and suffering of others through the Force. I hope the Lone Wolf is feeling the pain of the woman he loves, every sensation he feels will deliver him closer and closer to Sidious's influence." He said to himself.
As for Sandra, she only looked with disgust as Tarkin rounded a corner and headed for the ground floor. "Mother Fucker." The medic cursed and made her way to Ahsoka who was still restrained but now covered in marks all over her body, her clothing ripped in several places leaving her almost naked.
Opening her medical kit, Sandra walked over to the Togruta teen and began to examine her. "It hurts, doesn't it?" she asked, removing Ahsoka's gag. "You don't have to say anything to me. Personally, I wouldn't blame you, specially since I'm part of the group that's holding you hostage." She added.
"It… hurts." Ahsoka said weekly before she started to cry.
"Don't worry, I'll do what I can to help you. I must admit, I am rather giddy in examining an alien like yourself. I always wondered if there were other beings out in the universe aside from humans. Are there humans where you come from?" she asked, taking a cloth and wiped away Ahsoka's tears.
"There are… some that look like humans and are near human live in the galaxy. A lot of humans see people like me as nothing more than slaves or pleasurable company." Ahsoka admitted.
"Its disgusting. The way people treat others like property, slavery may be outlawed on Earth, but people still conduct such an act illegally. I've treated many a patient who was once sexually assaulted so I know how to treat them." Sandra said with disgust.
The two talked for a little while longer until Sandra finished her examination. "Well, I've got good news. You're not badly hurt and it looks like your going to give birth very soon. How long until that time, its to early to tell. I can only imagine the pain that the father must be in for not being here." Sandra stated.
Ahsoka looked up to Sandra who moved to place her gag back on. "I'm no mercenary, but I promise that if anyone tries to hurt you, I will protect you." Sandra declared and placed her patients gag back over her mouth and nose before leaving. She took one look back at Ahsoka before she left the room. "I've got to do something to help her." She thought to herself
Back in Texas, Lennox heard Tarkin's message and was angry. Before the invasion, Lennox and Epps were sent to the Texas Army National Guard base in Austin, by their former commander in chief as 'punishment' for failing to protect the base in Israel. Despite the two claiming that they were attacked by unknown hostiles that had more firepower than anything ever seen before. Evidence from their bodycams proved that their claims were true but surprisingly, the video became blurred at the moment the face of the attackers was shown.
Both Rangers were then demoted despite their outstanding service records and were taken off active duty to train new recruits. This pissed both of them off. They were trained to fight the enemies of their country.
When the invasion began, the base suffered heavy damage and seventy-five percent of the base's personal were killed and the rest would have been killed had it not been for Lennox and Epps who rallied the survivors, forming a resistance cell in Texas which included Will's sister Cindy.
Despite a few victories, the people of the Lone Star State didn't believe they could win against the invaders. Not even the reports of other resistance groups across the globe achieving a few victories of their own didn't even lift Lennox's confidence. It would take a miracle to convince the people.
Lennox was in deep thought about how to convince the people when Brandon Caine, Private First Class 75th Ranger Regiment, 2nd Battalion F company picked up something on a captured Black Tusk Radio. It appeared that Black Tusk was moving special equipment of some kind to a Forth Reich and separatist base along the Mexico U.S border where a massive work camp/weapons depot was also located. Based on reports from scouts the enemy had amassed an impressive defensive perimeter around the base, complete with a minefield.
"We got no armor, no air power and no heavy weapons. Those bastards have more firepower than the we do. Its impossible. There's no way we can take them." Caine said to Lennox.
"Haven't you seen that these bastards aren't invincible. Our weapons can hurt them and even if they have a bunch of PMC's and terrorists on their side, we can still take them." Epps retorted, cooking his Ares Shrike.
"Plus, in case you haven't forgotten Caine, we do have armor." Lennox added.
He was of course was referring to the Leopard 2 tank that the four captured from a Black Tusk Patrol. Though the tank's engine was damaged, it was fixable and used the same round as an M1 Abrams main cannon. The same thing applied to the tanks two 7.62mm MG3 machine guns. But unlike the armor of the original tank, this one's armor was reinforced with three layers of Chobham Armor that was used by the American M1 Abrams and British Challenger tanks. The insignia on the side of the tank was a clear give away that the Tank belonged to the PMC group and had a few Black Tusk uniforms inside the tank. Fouling the guards at the gate would make it easy for them to get past the guards at the gate.
"We're going to pull the Trojan Horse maneuver, aren't we?" Cindy asked after she had changed her clothing. Instead of civilian attire, she was now wearing one of the Black Tusk uniforms which consisted of a black baseball cap and shemagh, tactical vest, elbow pads, knee pads, fingerless shooting gloves and black combat boots. Secured in her vests holster was a Smith & Wesson M&P45 handgun and in her hands was an HK416 assault rifle equipped with a GLM grenade launcher and holographic sight.
"You sure you want to do this sis? You don't have to fight." Will said to his sister once he saw her firepower.
"These bastards attacked and killed a lot of people we know. I think it's fair that I pay them back a thousand times over." The young Lennox said with determination. Not wanting to argue with his sister, Will agreed and soon changed into a Black Tusk uniform as well. Once he was changed, he turned the Tanks ignition switch and once the other three were onboard the tank, moved it carefully out of the base one.
It took them all of three hours to reach the enemy base and when they saw it, the four-man team nearly vomited. Prisoners were being forced to dig foxholes and trenches. Those that fell to the ground in exhaustion were executed immediately and those that tried to make a break for it ended up losing their heads.
Rolling up to the main gate, Epps was tempted to open up with the top mounted machine gun for the war crimes that were being committed right in front of his eyes, but Will stopped him. Instead, he recorded the event he was seeing with his uniform's bodycam for the day when these bastards were brought to justice.
The second they were inside the gate, they spotted more civilians these ones placed in cages like one would see in an old holocaust camp from world war 2, making the disguised tank crew even more pissed. Still they held their fire and waited for the right moment to strike. "Caine, take Cindy and secure that watchtower on the left, set up an over watch position. Epps and I will free the prisoners and get them some weapons. Time to show these bastards what it really means to be a soldier." Will said with determination.
The others nodded and exited the tank heading towards their objectives without drawing any attention. Once Brandon and Cindy were in position, Epps and Will made their way over to the droids guarding one of the prison cages and took them down with a shot from their rifles, alerting the other guards to what was going on. One guard attempted to take them down, but Caine took that guard down with a single shot from his FD308 sniper rifle while Will and Epps unlocked the cage doors.
"TIME FOR A JAILBREAK!" Will yelled at the top of his lungs, shooting the lock on the cell off. The prisoners than grabbed any gun they could find and began to fight back. Outside the camp, one of the prisoners stopped digging, raised his shovel and slammed it right into the head of one of the Nazi terrorists. Picking up the guards AK47, the prisoner than killed a few guards before other prisoners followed the prisoners lead and acquired weapons of their own.
Meanwhile, in the skies over Lethbridge, Alberta Canada several miles from the now damaged Lethbridge Viaduct, Nick landed his Crusader on a small flat area where a large Radio Telescope was situated. "None of those droids. Good, time to get a message out." The pilot said and headed for the telescope.
Back in Texas, the Lennox siblings, Caine and Epps were having a difficult time then they originally thought. Despite having a number of recently freed prisoners on their side, Forth Reich forces were starting to overwhelm them and had just brought in armor. One of the enemy tanks aimed its cannon at an exposed Will and Epps and was about to fire when the Leopard that the rescuers brought in rotated its own cannon and fired. A single 120mm high-explosive shell impacted the enemy tank while machine gun fire mowed down the infantry that weren't killed.
Looking back to the tank they used, both soldiers were stunned to see that operating the tank were two men in U.S Army uniforms popping up from the tanks hatch. "Second Lieutenant Ralph W. Pulaski and Corporal Sherman R. Guderian, U.S. 1st armored division at your service sir." Pulaski shouted, saluting the two soldiers before closing the hatch and getting back in the fight.
"Guess we're some lucky SOB's to have a bit of help from imprisoned soldiers." Lennox joked, loading a fresh magazine into his Colt 933 as a grenade from his sister's grenade launcher killed several Forth Reich soldiers that made a desperate attempt to stop several trucks full of civilians from leaving the camp. Several commandeered Strykers and Bradley Fighting Vehicles along with Joint Light Tactical Vehicles and HMMWV's, all operated by other soldiers that were captured opened up with their vehicle's weapons, covering the escape of the civilians.
A lucky shot from a Strykers 30mm chain gun ruptured a nearby gas tank which then exploded sending a piece of the tank into another one causing a chain reaction that began to spread to the other tanks. This caused the soldiers to begin vacating the base as fast as they could. The fire quickly spread to a more larger fuel tank which then exploded taking the entire base with it and crushing a few of the retreating terrorists that weren't so lucky to escape in time.
Looking back at the destruction Lennox grinned with satisfaction that the first blow dealt to the enemy was delivered with an additional bonus. "WOLVERINES!" he shouted as the newly formed Wolverines made their way home.
(We Are One 12 Stones Starts)
It wasn't just the United States that a rebellion was beginning. All across the world, resistance cells launched their own counter attacks after waiting for the right moment. In France, French military soldiers and GIGN forces ambushed and a column of droids from the roofs while AMX-10 RC LRV's managed to cut of the retreat of the enemy units as Eurocopter Tiger copters provided close air support taking out incoming reinforcements from entering Paris. "Carcajous!" the French soldiers shouted.
In the English countryside just outside of Wittering, RAF Typhoons and Harrier fighters of the No. 3 squadron strafed a column of enemy armor as Challenger Tanks rolled across the grass and blew the enemy armor to bits while British infantry forces along with Irish and Scottish soldiers under the command of Captain Price moved to secure a group of transports that were packed with civilians being sent to a work camp. The grateful civilians soon ran like hell away from the battlefield, but some of them stayed behind to assist the people who saved them.
Over the skies of Russia and Germany, aircraft engaged in some of the most fearsome dogfighting like in the days of World War two, this time united against a common foe. A German Typhoon had two Vultures on its tail followed by an Inner Circle Mig-29. All three hostile craft had their guns blazing in an attempt to down the Typhoon pilot. But at the last second, all three hostile craft were destroyed by an SU-57's 30mm cannon and two of its R77 missiles.
Turning to the pilot of the German Typhoon, the Russian pilot rocked his wings before diving down to the deck with the Typhoon by his side, strafing Inner Circle BTR's with their cannons.
As for the Japanese, Team Metal and the JSDF launched a quick counter attack on the enemy forces occupying Osaka and quickly began to overwhelm the droid forces. Flying through the trailing smoke of a Vulture droid which then spiraled to the ground, Shin Kazama pulled a loop, got behind another Vulture and filled it full of 20mm rounds sending this one down to the ground. He then released two of his CBU-87 cluster bombs on a group of enemy tanks, knocking them out of the fight before returning to engage the enemy fighters.
Down below, Alpha company watched as the bombs destroyed the tanks coming to aid their allies allowing several JSDF tanks to roll on through the enemy forces while infantry used them for cover. "Grinch, snipe that bastard!" Sandman shouted.
A single 7.62mm bullet blew the head off one of the droids while Grinch laid down covering fire. A rocket flew over his head and the Delta Force soldier turned to see that Tomita had fired his Panzerfaust 3 rocket launcher, knocking out a still functioning enemy tank. "Thanks for the save." Grinch said to the JSDF soldier who smiled and followed the advancing armor. Four hours later, Osaka was liberated marking the first victory for the Japanese group of the Wolverines.
(End Song)
The following morning, Tarkin had received word that resistance cells across the world were attacking occupation forces across the world, calling themselves Wolverines. Any normal person would have pissed their pants in fear, but for Tarkin he wasn't of those people. He believed that they would surrender soon and succumb to his rule and returned to his torture of Ahsoka.
Quinn however, decided to she had to make her move soon before the girl was killed.
Meanwhile, Velvet held a corrupt police officer by their throat over the entrance to one of the many Storm drains in the city. "WHERE IS HE?!" she shouted, asking the officer for the name of the man who murdered her brother, Billy Kincaid.
Unknown to anyone but the residents of Hope County, Nick was able send a message into deep space and hoped that someone was listening and would send help soon.
And thus, Earth has become a battlefield and it appears that the Separatist's had some help. Will the Republic arrive in time to liberate the planet and will Ahsoka survive her ordeal in time to get married? The answers you seek will come after Sidious plan for Anakin fails.
Now I may have misled one of you into thinking I was going to use material from Mass Effect 3 and Dark of the Moon. I mainly used Modern Warfare material and Characters along with several other characters from other series, figured I'd try and spice things up. Hop I did a good job.
Next time, we return to the battle of Coruscant and a different outcome of the battle will be seen, but that will have to wait for a while. As I said before, I am going to return to Mobile Suit Rwby for a bit so don't expect another chapter to this story for a while.
Now, I have a list of songs I want to use for certain parts of the story and songs I want to use again. I could use a little help in figuring out when to use them. If you'd like to help me out with that part, let me know in a review and I will give you the list of songs so you can find them on Youtube and listen so you can figure out what scenes they would be best used in. Until Next time, happy Memorial Day and May the Force be with you.
