Zer0: EEEEEHhhhhh...No that's terrible. Hold on. Hey guys hows it goi-No that's cliche.
Bio: What are you doing?
Zer0: I am trying to make an intro.
Bio: Translation: We're doing this to hide our pain from the Forsaken story trailer.
Zer0:...Why Cayde?
Bio: Because people keep complaining about the supposed light-hearted tone of the second game, and therefore, Bungie responded by going SUPER DARK AS FUCK by killing the greatest character they produced in this series, whose death came at the hands of a guy people mildly disliked in D1, but upon committing this act of heresy, immediately jumped to the top of EVERYONE'S shit list?
Zer0:...True….Alright, with that out of the way: Hello everyone, it is I, Zer0the0mega108 and I am back with dynamic partner in crime: BioshockerN7.
Bio: Hey. We're back in action. We didn't really go on any hiatus, but we more or less spent the weeks since the last update storyboarding, planning shit, and most of all...playing Destiny...and most recently...hyping our asses off for Clone Wars Season 7.
Zer0: YYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSS!
Bio: My partner means to say that he is expressing immense amounts of excitement for the knowledge that we shall be receiving one more season of the masterpiece that is Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
Zer0: And not just that, but the soon to be upcoming DLC of D2: Forsaken….that title is a literal point in Destiny. Thanks Community. Community: We want a darker story!
Bio: Bungie: You want dark? *Kills Cayde* There you go.
Zer0:...Community: FFFFFFUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKKK!
Bio: I believe the ever-hilarious iDubbz put it best: I HAVE CRIPPLING DEPRESSION.
Zer0: RIP Robotic Nathan Drake (Even more fitting since apparently Nolan North is voicing Cayde in Forsaken, and Nathan Fillion recently played him in a GOD TIER fan-film). You will be missed….Okay now let's move to on main point which is obviously the story but another announcement.
Bio: We're experimenting in terms of our writing schedule.
Zer0: For now we trying to write a chapter every other Friday, or get one half done and finish it that Saturday and try to get posted on Monday. Unless we have something going on like working on another story or some family stuff then expect it later hopefully.
Bio: Couple that with some D1/D2 sessions, and we practically have this entire series mapped out already...we just gotta make sure to write it every other weekend.
Zer0: Now with that out of the way, onto review responses.
Bio: This oughta be fun...especially with one particular highlight we find...questionable.
Review Responses:
Derek 23: please update your bakugan story
Zer0: …...HOW MANY TIMES ARE YOU GONNA DOING THIS?!
Bio: I swear, I've seen this question in almost every story you've written...he's like a clingy ex-girlfriend.
Zer0: No, it's more like you really enjoy the story. I understand Derek, you really love the story, I get it….BUT I HAVE ELEVEN STORIES (DEFINITELY MORE COMING) THAT I NEED TO WRITE. I also have shit outside of FanFiction that I have. Also RP in Destiny.
Bio: We take the art of the RP VERY SERIOUSLY.
Zer0: I will try, TRY, to get one chapter out but I have other stories that also need attention….like my New God story (Grabs story) don't worry, baby, I'll update you soon.
Bio:...Did you just refer to your story as if it were your child?
Zer0: Yes. Hundred percent Yes.
Bio:...*Police sirens*
Zer0: But in all seriousness, we'll end it here. I promise, and please stop with those reviews. If ya gonna review, it better be about the story your review and what you liked. NEXT!
Jebest4781: Another great chapter. Keep it up.
Zer0: Thanks man, we will. Please enjoy.
Bio: Thanks for the love...GOD, I SOUNDED LIKE !
Zer0: HAHA! God this was a short response. Next one.
AmusedLight: Good to see you are updating, hope to see the next chapter.
Zer0: Thanks, glad you are enjoying the story.
Bio: Well, your wish just came true, my friend.
Zer0: Next review.
Gwb620: This chapter was awesome! I can't wait to see what happens next
Zer0: Aw thanks man. I'm really glad you enjoy this chapter.
Bio: NEXT!
xXCoopyXx: Yey was waiting for this to return thought you had forgotten about it for a while haha. Also MOAR.
Zer0: I can see that you are enjoying this story. Don't worry there will be MOAR!
Bio: Ask and you shall receive, my dude.
Josephguy217: Awesome chapter, keep it up :)
Zer0: Thanks, and we will.
SPARTAN-626: Nice.
Zer0: Nice.
Bio: Nice.
Destroyer856: That was freaking awesome.
Zer0: Thanks. Also for the future it is fricken. Thanks.
Bio: It was awesome to write.
BraveSeeker3: Your point is invalid. Guardians are OP just about /anywhere/ other than their home universe/solar system/galaxy. The ability to resurrect themselves with help from their Ghosts (or without, by way of Sunsinger)? Transmat? Weapons that are totally unique (Thunderlord, Thorn, Gjallarhorn, etc)? The Light? I mean, all that's just a recipe for OPness. Not that I'm complaining. Also, why is there only one Ghost? There should be three others with 'em
Zer0: Again, I would like to apologize for how sarcastic I was being in the PM. It does sound like you are being sarcastic. So I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Bio: As for the Ghosts...you let us worry about that.
?: When are we gonna appear, ya fockin' gobshites?!
Zer0: Shit! Hide him!
Bio: I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO STAY IN THE BACK!
Zer0: NEXT REVIEW…..what the?
Kingsfall7: There are multiple problems with the story.
First, the Guardians are over powered-even for them- and are depicted as pirate/mercenaries, as well as rasict.
Second, the Guardians have their original names and memories, which they are not supposed to (explained by Zavala and Ana Bray), and if they found their past lives. How?
Third, you don't explain the corruption in the Republic Senate and the Jedi. And what about Anakin and Padme? How does that fit in?
Fourth, the pairings are so... uncomfortable for some readers I know.
Finally, where do humans come from in this universe?
Zer0:...
Bio:...
Zer0/Bio:...*Looks at each other, then back at the screen*...What the actual FUCK?
Zer0: What does half of this shit even mean? How is this a problem? Actually it's not even a problem. Let's look over the first one then the whole thing and prove why you are wrong good sir!
Bio: Over-powered even for Guardians...bro, have you LOOKED at some of the lore surrounding the famous Guardians of legend? Saint-14? Ana Bray? Toland the Shattered?
Zer0: Not just them, let's look at the enemy factions they face.
Bio: Vex, time-traveling robots capable of altering reality on a whim and even erasing people from existence.
Zer0: They created a Vault that exist on all timelines so there is only one Vault of Glass. The Time Conflux Atheon and his Gorgons can fucking erase you from not just existence, but to the point where you never existed to begin with. No one remembers you, no one knew about what you've done, nothing. The Infinite Forest is a planet-sized prediction engine capable of creating infinite realities where the Vex can essentially experiment with the possibilities that will eventually end with their succession and the destruction of all that isn't Vex. Everything in there, whether it is a Simulation, is real. The stars, the planets...US! They're real. Next.
Bio: Hive, space zombies that practice dark magic made to not only kill the people they use it on, but to essentially make sure that the suffering they endure is not only enhanced, but practically makes the Hive stronger. These guys are sadists of the highest regard.
Zer0: Their Highest ranking God-King created the Ascendant Realm, which is literally the opposite of our universe. Savathun went through a Black Hole just to get away from Oryx, a BLACK FUCKING HOLE! Oryx also created a fucking Black Sun, whatever the hell that is.
Bio: And topping the cake of the Ascendant Realm, the Hive who made Throne Worlds and Ascendant Realm...they can't die unless you kill them in their realm. In other words, you kill them in our world, much like every slasher movie villain, they'll come right back to kill YOU.
Zer0: You know that thing in Crota End Raid where you face him? That's a Throne World, and recently in the Scorn Lore, a Fallen made one just like Crota. The Oversoul they create will destroy you and reduce you to practical nothingness unless you carry a weapon (Exotic swords) they have. Nokris resurrected himself in the strike and he can resurrect all those that died without an Ascendant Realm. The Vex fricken fear Oryx, the other thing they can't simulate. He controls War Moons (Whatever those are), Xivu Arath blew up a moon by herself just for shits and giggles, and they destroyed a web of stars that this Empire constructed…..So yeah OP at the max.
Bio: Cabal, militaristic space turtles that pretty much come at everything they go after with the force of a tactical nuke, and they also occasionally destroy planets...JUST FOR GETTING IN THEIR WAY!
Zer0: They also have a GODDAMN SUN DESTROYER THAT CAN DESTROY EVERYTHING! Ghaul absorbed the Light of us Guardians and used all of the elements that we used against us, and when we killed him...He just came back as an Astral Figure of almost immortality. Calus has his own planet-sized, planet-eating ship and has his own dimension he controls just by clapping. His ship has two artificial suns (Which doesn't sound impressive but I doubt the suns are cold as ice.).
Bio: Fallen, scavenging space pirates who can use anything they find and turn it into a weapon for their own benefits, like SIVA. Willing to mutate themselves in order to have a chance at destroying their enemies, just look at the Splicers and the Scorn.
Zer0: The Fallen maybe the weakest out of the main factions, but the fact that they can use any type of machinery, even Vex machinery, and use it against their enemies shows they are not to be trifled with. Skolas took control of some Vex tech from the Vault of Glass and started plucking various Wolves into the battlefield from different points in time. Aksis took control of SIVA that I believe could replicate entire cities in seconds. Not a hundred percent on this but I'm not doubting it. We won't go into the Taken because they are basically every race but corrupted and upgraded. And we won't even go into the Scorn yet because they haven't fully appeared...but the Barons are badass.
Bio: The fact that they can talk already scored some points in my book.
Zer0: SO done with that, OP at the maximum because we kill that shit in the games.
Bio: We still gotta do King's Fall.
Zer0: SHUT UP! But yeah we do. Anyways onto that other point, Mercenaries/Pirates?
Bio: I mean, given the bounties we can take in the games, we're basically bounty hunters alongside being defenders of humanity.
Zer0: Not to mention there is a Mercenary group of Guardians called the Sunbreakers, ever heard of them? Titans that use the Solar power in Taken King? No? Also racist? What did we do that is racist?
Bio: If you mean the Guardian's general attitude when it comes to meeting their new allies...how would you react if you were to stumble upon an alien race that you've never met till now? Or hasn't been trying to kill you?
Zer0: Or an army of soldiers that literally look the same, that's not racist that's a fact. They're not even a race, they are created in tubes from the DNA of a Mandalorian Bounty Hunter.
Bio: They're literally just a xerox of the same fucking man.
Zer0: Also they're only working for the Republic because A: They are in another FUCKING galaxy. They have no ship, no way of getting home, and no idea where they are.
Bio: All the shit they're used to dealing with is out of the question, and they pretty much have absolutely nothing else to do...so they join the Republic to get a home while they search for a way back home.
Zer0: Your second point about their original names…..who said they had one?
Bio: How do you know that they didn't just pick these names as new ones?! HUH?!
Zer0: Last time I checked it wasn't a rule to not have a last name, ya just can't look into your past.
Bio: Old boy Zavala is really picky about that rule.
Zer0: Also I don't think Zavala actually name is that, Zavala. Or Ikora being Ikora. Unless they had something with them with their name on it (Like Ana) they can call them whatever they want. Also Saladin has a last name, Forge, you ain't complaining about that.
Bio: I mean, honestly, who would have Osiris as their given birth name?
Zer0: One of them actually knows their past but for reason we won't exploit until later...which is like six or five chapters from now. For now onto your third point:
Bio: We don't explain the corruption of the Jedi or the Senate...let's be honest, who comes here for that?! People come here to see two things, and two things only! Destruction of the bad guys, and a shitload of comedy, and you better believe we haven't run out of comedy!
Zer0: Star Wars barely goes into that, it's always been about Space Wizard with Glowing swords, like two episodes in each season about the Senate.
Bio: Or as TFS Vegeta would put it, the War for the Stars.
Zer0: Maybe we'll get into later (Especially at a important turning point for this story), but for now it's fighting. Your Anakin and Padme thing…..this is fucking FanFiction dude.
Bio: It's an alternate universe.
Zer0: None of this is canon the moment it started. Onto the final point….WHY IS THIS A QUESTION?!
Bio: Star Wars doesn't really need to answer this one. Humans just exist, and do what humans normally do: Kill and fuck anything that moves.
Zer0: They aren't even humans, they're just humanoid that obviously look like humans because Fiction can never not have humans in it.
Bio: Even though there's a page on the Star Wars wiki dedicated to Humans.
Zer0: Yeah but that's because they have to have that. Name a fictional Verse that doesn't have a human.
Bio: Zootopia?
Zer0:...You win this time. Okay…...that's done. Thank fucking TRAVELER! Also we apologize if we sound angry, we're more…...flabbergasted.
Bio: We're not mad. Just disappointed.
Zer0: Now we come to the moment...UNTO STORY!
Bio: Allow me to read the almighty disclaimer:
We do not own jack shit. Star Wars belongs to Disney and Lucasfilm, whereas Destiny belongs to Bungie and Activision. If we did...that'd be fucking dope. (And we'd make this crossover a reality)
Zer0: But we own our respective OC's.
Bio: ALRIGHT, ONWARD! TO BATTLE!
Chapter 8: Storming the Factory
(Geonosis)
The entire planet was in chaos, the sky was filled with Republic Cruisers firing down on the world below, and the entire landscape was littered with soldiers on both sides shooting the other down. However in one spot, near the Main Droid Factory was the 501st led by General Anakin Skywalker. The group was currently the only thing keeping Poggle the Lesser, their prime target, from escaping. Jedi Master Luminara Unduli and her Padawan Barriss Offee were expecting many things: The clone to be prepared for the attack on the factory, Poggle to be captured thanks to the heroic jobs of Fireteam Epsilon, or all of the above.
"These rations suck."
What they weren't expecting was a squadron of troopers, and the scuttlebutt amongst all the clones: Fireteam Epsilon eating their rations with the troops. Cole, being the one to make that quote, gagged at the taste from the strange ration bar as the others sat beside him. He notice how the clones ate them without any problem and wondered if they taste any good…..he was dead wrong.
"I've had some strange things in my life, and our own share of rations back home, but this...how do you eat this?" He asked.
"Years of training, Sir." The clone answered as Cole handed the ration back.
"Should I get some food out?" Ghost asked from Drake's hand. The Ghost beforehand was scanning the area of any hostiles, the element of the planet, and metal from the Geonosians.
"So, this is what you guys deal with on a daily basis, huh?" Cole asked, gesturing to the world around them. "Bunch of hostile alien creatures trying to kill you because they don't want you on their planet...and they support a different political party?"
"Yep." Another clone asked.
"...Deja vue." Drake said as Ghost summoned an apple for him.
"Reminds me of my time on the Moon back home before I met Drake and the others. Just me in a sniper's nest and a bunch of angry Fallen trying to murder me."
"Fallen, Sir?" Another clone asked.
"Basically a bunch of Space Pirates who scavenge our System trying to kill us all." Kara summarized in a short version of them.
"Imagine a race comprised of thieves, assassins, pirates, and you've got the Fallen in a nutshell." Lyle added.
"And they are just the tip of the iceberg." Ghost said as he summoned a Granola Bar for Kara.
"Sounds like you guys have a lot on your hands." The four turned to see Ahsoka leaning on a wrecked pillar with her arms crossed.
"More than you think." Drake said.
"Oh yeah, add in a buncha space zombies, time-traveling robots, and space turtles that blow up planets just for being in their way...we have a lot of fun." Cole said.
"And now it got a little harder now that we are here." Drake added.
"What does that mean?" Ahsoka asked. Honestly watching the four fight they seemed pretty at home wherever they go. They seemed like pros too and that was a bit scary, especially with that whole 'Panic Slam' from earlier.
"How would you feel if you were stuck in a galaxy you're unfamiliar with, with your only means of possibly getting home destroyed, and the knowledge that the threats you've been dealing with back home are still active in their attempts to destroy you and the foundations you've been protecting and that there's nothing you can do to stop it given that you are far away from them?" Lyle asked. Ahsoka opened her mouth to answer but stopped. After a second of thinking, she really couldn't blame them for her it was easy to go home but never if it was a galaxy away. Maybe it was affecting them but they are just good at hiding it.
"Are you saying there aren't others who can't handle it there?" A rookie clone asked from the other side.
"Oh, there are. Plenty of us who could do it...but it's a Guardian's nature to fight back against the forces of the Darkness. And since we're unable to do that while we're here…" Lyle drifted off. Ahsoka notice the others frown with him, this really was affecting them.
"Forces of Darkness? Now that is a story I would like to hear." Everyone turned to see Luminara and Barriss walk over to them. The clones instantly stood back up and saluted the General, as Ahsoka and the Guardians stood up at attention.
"At ease." Luminara said relaxing the clones as the General stood before the Guardians.
"Well, my friend, if you ever wish to hear the stories of our amazing adventures, look no further because when it comes to storytelling, I...am a master." Cole said with a dramatic bow.
"After what I have heard from Mundi, I don't doubt it." Luminara said bowing her head. "It is good to see you again, Guardians."
"Same to you, Ms. Unduli." Drake said nodding his head. The whole bow thing was hard enough in armor but being tall didn't help, so he just stuck with a nod. Kara and Lyle followed suit with bows but Cole simply gave them a mock salute.
"You all remember my Padawan, Barriss." Luminara said gesturing to said Padawan.
"How could I forget a face like hers, so angelic." Cole said dramatically, gesturing his hands as if he were an artist about to paint a picture. Barriss couldn't stop the blush from appearing while the other Guardians simply smirked.
"What is it with you people and skipping a beat?" Ghost asked from within Drake, noticing the Padawan heart skipping a beat…...Though he notice that Ahsoka body became hotter as she stood closer to Drake. Weird. Forgetting her humble ways for a second, she bowed her head to the Guardians, though her direction mostly seemed to be directed at Cole.
"Guardians, it is an honor to see you again." Barriss said standing back up.
"Good to see you too, Barriss." Ahsoka said putting an arm around her best friend.
"Yes, always great to see a friendly face." Lyle said, his arms crossed behind his back.
"Are you here to aid us with taking down the factory?" Drake asked gesturing to the factory with his thumb.
"Indeed, but we are here to hear the briefing that General Skywalker has." Luminara said. Before she arrived she was messaged by Mundi that Skywalker had a plan to storm the Factory, of course she too had a plan but perhaps they can fold the plans together.
"Of course we gotta hear HIS plan, but no one ever wants to consider my simple instructions. Because all we'll really be doing here is blowing things up." Cole said.
"Are you really complaining about blowing everything up?" Drake asked with a deadpan expression.
"Of course not, but I'd have made it fun to hear." Cole retorted.
"Actually, Master." Everyone turned to see Ahsoka step forward. "It is my briefing."
"I see, well then I would like to hear it if everyone is ready." Luminara said placing her hands together in front of her dress.
"Let me just get my Master." With that Ahsoka walked away leaving the group alone.
"Well, of course, my friend. Lead the way." Cole said. "If anything, she should make it more fun to listen to than Skywalker." He added.
(Later)
The Guardians sat near some rocks with their arms crossed behind their backs with Luminara on Drake's right and Barriss beside Cole. In front of them was a squad of clones with Ahsoka and Anakin in front and a hologram of the droid factory presented before them.
"This bridge here is our first waypoint." Ahsoka explained pointing at the holographic bridge. "Focus your fire on the gun emplacements here and here," She pointed to the red dots near the Droid factory. She could see the clones and Guardians nod their head in understanding and Luminara seemed impressed with how Ahsoka was taking this, giving the girl some confidence. "Because it's only-!"
"Because it's only after we neutralize the guns that we can push for the factory." Anakin stated cutting off Ahsoka and standing beside his Padawan.
"I was….yes." Ahsoka seethed through her teeth, slightly annoyed that he Master interrupted her. This did not go unnoticed by the clones and the others, Luminara and Drake raised an eyebrow in question of what was going on.
"Bit of a dick move there, dude." Cole whispered to Drake, the Titan nodded his head in agreement. Ahsoka took a deep breath and went back to briefing the mission, her briefing.
"Now expect stiff resistance from-!"
"And don't forget to top off your energy cells and ration packs. Once we leave, there will be no re-supply. Anything else, Ahsoka?"
"No. I think you've pretty much covered everything...in MY BRIEFING." Ahsoka said with a clearly fake smile, putting big emphasis on the last words hoping her master would understand his mistake….Nope.
"Very well. Squad dismissed." The clones nodded their heads in sync and left leaving the Guardians and the Jedi alone.
"Okay, what's next?"
"How about working on your manners, oh General?" Kara whispered to Lyle. He merely grunted in agreement.
"You know, Master, my briefings might go better if you didn't interrupt me every time I try to-!"
"I wasn't interrupting. I was trying to help you." Anakin corrected, not realizing he was doing the very thing that irked his Padawan.
"By interrupting her?" Ghost asked floating beside Drake, but Ahsoka kept talking.
"Which I would appreciate, if you didn't interrupt me to do it. I just think maybe you don't trust me to give the briefing." Ahsoka said sighing.
"It's not about trust. It's about getting the job done right." Anakin explained.
"...So what part did she get wrong?" Drake asked crossing his arms. Anakin was about to open his mouth to explain, until someone interrupted him.
"Plus, getting the job done right kinda needs trust, pal." Cole said.
"And she can't get it wrong if she can't explain it." Ghost stated. Anakin rolled his eyes and glared at the Guardians pointing a finger at Drake.
"By all mean, when your briefing comes around I will make sure you can fully explain it without interruptions." Drake said nothing, he simply pushed the finger aside.
"That is greatly appreciated, General Asswalker." Drake said, making Anakin to sneer at him.
"Gentlemen, before anything gets worse perhaps we should continue with our briefing?" Luminara asked standing between the two and pushing Anakin away, she would have attempted Drake but the Titan simply stood there and wasn't exactly a door to be push open.
"Well, overall, we got the plan, go to the factory, fuck shit up, see if there's any loot while we're at it." Cole said.
"Loot?" Barriss asked.
"One of the greatest parts of being a Guardian. The reward from defeating your enemies and getting even better gear from it...just make sure you never give your engrams to Rahool. That guy's a fucking scammer." Cole said with a grimace.
"Unfortunately things are going to be complicated." Luminara said as she gestured to the hologram, the others followed her and stood around it. "A frontal assault is risky. Our losses will be high."
"If you want we can try the Panic Slam? Or just simple Supers get the job done." Drake suggested with arc covering his fists, Void in Lyle's, an Arc blade appearing in Cole's hands, and Solar within Kara's robe.
"As easier as that would be, I believe the Republic would like it if we kept Poggle alive. The leader of the Geonosian is currently held up in this factory and I think it would be best if we bought him back in one piece." Luminara said.
"It won't be easy if that factory comes online." Kara said staring at the factory.
"Indeed, but there is an alternative." Luminara said as another part of the hologram appeared. The Guardians thought of it as some sort of twisted maze in a ball shape, one connecting to the lower wall and the other conveniently to the factory. "Every Geonosian building has a series of catacombs beneath it that run deep underground."
"Some of the tunnels are close enough to this cliff wall so that you could cut a hole and make an entry point." Barriss added.
"Once inside, we could find the main reactor, plant the explosives, find Poggle, and blow the factory inside out." Luminara explained as the hologram was covered in a red dome to illustrate it's destruction.
"This seems...convenient." Cole remarked.
"Oh, looks like a good way to get lost, if you ask me." Anakin said seeing how twisted it was and how many tunnels there are.
"One might be able to navigate it if given enough time to memorize everything." Lyle remarked.
"Let me just see that." Ghost said as he scanned the hologram. Beeped for a second before looking at the Guardians. "Done. I have scanned every tunnel and know the way through...and so do you guys." Drake eyes glowed followed by the others as Ghost went into Drake's chest.
"Huh...easy." Drake said placing his hands on his side.
"...Impressive." Barriss said, never thinking that it would take a second for someone could get a full scan and know the direction of every tunnel in the hologram. Truly the Guardians have no limits to what they can do. Luminara was impressed as well but kept her shock in check, while Anakin rolled his eyes.
"I've got an idea of the place as well. We Hunters are trained to take in every detail we can spot. This is no different." Cole said, his eyes moving from tunnel to tunnel, mapping every route and pattern.
"And I have instructed Barriss to memorize the labyrinth, all 200 junctions." Luminara said, Barriss stepping forward.
"You always were thorough." Anakin complimented.
"It pays for one to be prepared. Right, Barriss?"
"Especially when other people's lives depend on your success." Barriss stated. This was their only chance at stopping the production of more droids on Geonosia, they cannot fail.
"Slapping some pressure on us...you sure know how to liven things up." Cole quipped.
"I am sure someone of your caliber can handle it, Master Hunter." Barriss retorted with a smile.
"Ooh, so you can play the game of words, too...things just got interesting." Cole said with a chuckle, throwing his knife back and forth between his hands. Luminara notice how her padawan smiled at the Hunter, but said nothing seeing it was nothing….hopefully.
"How do we keep the Geonosians occupied, while someone else is setting the bombs?" Ahsoka asked, noticing that no doubt there were hundreds of Geonosians in those tunnels.
"Good point, Snips. If whoever's going in there is going to be successful, we'll need to create a diversion." Anakin pointed out.
"Precisely. That task will be carried out by you, the Guardians and I, Skywalker, while the destruction of the factory falls to the Padawans." Luminara said gesturing to the Padawans. She saw this was the best plan, the two Generals were capable of handling the forces along with the Guardians while Barriss and Ahsoka made their way through the tunnels. She did not see any flaws within this, though she was prepared for problems. Anakin was instantly not on board with this plan, send his Padawan alone down there without his help.
"Two-man team tasked with destroying an entire factory? Seems risky." Cole said. Drake couldn't agree more as he stepped forward.
"If I make a suggestion, General. Perhaps two of us should accompany the Padawan's through the tunnels should they face any more forces." Drake suggested.
"Don't think my Padawan can't handle?" Anakin asked.
"More so a four-man team would make it even more efficient." Drake corrected as he stepped forward. "Me and Cole will go with them while Lyle and Kara join you in distracting the forces." Luminara rubbed her chin in deep thought. Afterall she had heard from Mundi she did not doubt the Guardians abilities and this could in fact get the job done faster.
"Believe me, there's nothing more reliable for stealth missions like these than a good blade in your hands." Cole said, twirling his knife.
"...Very well, Master Titan, Master Hunter you both will accompanying our Padawans down the tunnels. I am trusting you two to keep our Padawans safe." Luminara said.
"Don't worry, Luminara. As long as I'm sneaking around that factory, nothing's getting near us." Cole said, before his helmet materialized over his face and raised his hood.
"Now hold on!" Anakin started up, standing in front of Drake...though he hated how he had to look up. "Walking into that factory could be suicide."
"Not if you and I are successful holding Poggle's attention at the bridge." Luminara said. Ahsoka glared at her master, not seeing why her master had to disagree with everything like this. It was a full proof plan, especially with the Guardians. She knew he had seen first hand what these two are capable of.
"Master, I can do this. I've had riskier assignments. We literally saw Drake lift up an entire fortress and Cole cut through like it was butter." Ahsoka said gesturing to the two.
"But unlike Barriss and them, you aren't prepared for this mission." Anakin retorted earning a glare from his Padawan.
"Not to worry. My Padawan is reliable, and I trust the Guardians can handle what is down there and can get through the maze without difficulty." Luminara said complimenting the Guardians.
"We'll be in and out, Master." Barriss said.
"See?" Ahsoka asked smirking at her master. "Dependable Barriss will get us through. Don't worry Master. As you well know, I can follow orders."
"It's decided then." Luminara said cutting off Anakin from saying anything to change their mind.
"...I guess it is." Anakin hesitated as Luminara handed her the pack of explosives. Meanwhile the Guardians were currently hurdled together as they prepared to depart once again.
"I hope this isn't gonna be a thing where we always depart in groups of two." Kara groans as Lyle just patted her shoulder.
"Don't worry, we'll be back before you can even blink." Drake said placing a hand on Lyle's shoulder. "Make sure no gets hurt."
"You'd be surprised how fast I can make a blink happen." Lyle said with a smirk.
"Good luck guys." Drake said holding his fist out. The other joined as their fist connected, Light surging through them before meeting at the end. The four departed as Drake and Cole went to join the others.
"...How long before something blows up?" Kara asked smirking at Lyle, crossing her arms knowing full well how chaotic it gets when Drake and Cole team up.
"I'd estimate right as we start shooting." He said. Drake and Cole joined the girls as Luminara handed them their communicators, marking their communicators in sync. This way the Masters know the Padawans are.
"I'll be with you, I trust Karas's healing." Ghost said within Drake.
"Let's get going. After you, Barriss. Come on guys." Ahsoka said as Barriss walked past her and Ahsoka followed, with Cole right behind them.
"Drake." The Titan stopped and looked over his shoulder at the Jedi Master.
"Ms. Unduli?"
"...Keep the Padawans safe." Drake said nothing as his helmet materialized over his head. He could tell, despite her face stoic, that she only wished for the safety of her Padawan. Perhaps connections with Padawans and Masters were closer than he thought.
"I will." With that Drake left and caught up to the group. As the group left Luminara turned to Anakin, feeling his uneasiness.
"You feel Ahsoka's not up to the task." Luminara stated, catching Anakin by surprise.
"I never said-!"
"What is it, then? If you do not trust the Guardians I would put that aside, though we know nothing about them they have done nothing to make us uneasy." Anakin said nothing, merely walking past her as the two Warlocks stood by Unduli side.
"Something tells me he doesn't trust many people." Kara said.
"Perhaps he hasn't had the best life before joining the Jedi." Lyle said.
"Master Skywalker does not keep his emotions in check but I assure you he is the best at what he does. Obi Wan and his Master found young Skywalker on his home planet as a slave and won his freedom." Luminara explained, the two taking the information in. Kara felt bad for Anakin, never thinking how slavery could be since it never happens on Earth as far as she remembered. Lyle took this information in as simply that, info to know more about his comrades….though he could not deny that must have been a horrible experience for a child.
"In the meantime we must keep their attention on us and not on the Padawans and your comrades." With that Luminara left with the Warlocks behind her. They stood in front of R2 , the Astromech creating a hologram of the Droid Factory. "We'll have to make a bold move if we're to draw them out of the factory and keep their attention on us, and not the Padawans and Guardians." Luminara said as Anakin joined them after she finished.
"The best way to that is to march our troops straight up the middle, parade style." Anakin said as a miniature holograms of the troops and walkers marched on the bridge. "They can't resist that."
"Without any cover? This truly is like home," Lyle remarked.
"Well, we are going to have to make it very tempting." Kara stated.
"Shall we?" Luminara asked, the others nodding their head before heading over to the clones preparing for the ensuing battle.
(Later)
The Jedi and the Warlocks walked ahead of the Clone battalion, the walkers on both sides of the soldiers. The ground shook from each step of the walkers as they made their way to the bridge. The second they stepped on the bridge, the Droid Factory came to life, the main doors opening.
"Here come the droids. Everybody steady. Steady. Keep marching." Anakin ordered.
"Would keeping steady truly matter when all the droids will do in a couple seconds is shoot us?" Lyle asked.
"I hope the others have made it past the bridge by now." Luminara said as the droids marched out of the factory in perfect sync, their main programming set to kill all Republic Forces.
"I'm sure with the likes of Drake and Cole helping them, they'd have left a massive hole in their wake." Lyle said.
"That is a lot of droids." Anakin commented.
"Well it is a droid factory." Kara quipped.
"If we can break them before they finish making them, we should do fine." Lyle said.
"Despite your powers, simple logic seems to be you Guardians only answer…..it is quite amusing." Luminara said.
"Here we go." Anakin said pulled his saber out, followed by Luminara and the Warlocks pulled out their pulse rifles. The battle begun by the first shot, the clones taking cover while the droids continued to march despite losing numbers thanks to the Jedi and Guardians. Lyle heard screeching above them and looked up to see several Geonosians flying toward them.
"Geonosians up above!" He warned the troopers, raising his rifle to fire at them. The clones joined and helped the Guardian shoot down the bugs, making sure that none of the bugs got a single soldier. Meanwhile, below the bridge Drake and the others descended down the wall…...in this case Drake slammed into the ground since he jumped and Cole casually landing with grace. The Padawans followed suit as they bolted towards the other side of the cliffside, stopping once they made it. Barriss pushed her hand against the rock, using the force to find the opening. Moving to grab her Lightsaber, she felt a hand grab her own.
"Whoa, hold up. Got something that could work." Cole said, reaching his other hand toward the wall, now glowing orange, as if it was heating up, eventually reaching a point where he could push his hand through the wall. He then removed it, looking at Drake. "This is where you make the door." He said, throwing in a dramatic bow. Drake nodded as he pulled Cole aside and reached into the hole. Once he got a good hold Drake pulled back and the wall came down effortlessly, crumbling around them.
"Ah, Solar energy, never fails to be useful. The perks of being a Gunslinger." Cole remarked.
"Ladies first." Drake said gesturing to the cave, the girls smiled walking past the two before following behind them.
"Gunslinger?" Barriss whispered, curious on the name of his power.
"Yep. Whip out the Golden Gun and most of my targets...dead in just one fiery shot." He whispered. The entire catacomb was nearly pitch black, with few holes of light from outside lighting the way. Ghost remained silent since his light would give them away, but would keep tabs if any targets were ahead. As they continued walking the four stopped hearing some clicking ahead, hiding in the shadows the four notice two Geonosians ahead.
"I am sensing a lot of movement ahead." Ghost whispered. Drake grunted in acknowledgement as the four kept moving. It was until they rounded the corner did they all stop, the sight of dozens of sleeping geonosians blocking their way. However knowing this was the quickest way Barriss kept crawling through with Ahsoka and Cole following suit…..except for one.
"Right, forgot Drake is a boulder of a human being." Cole said.
"This is not my strong suit." Drake muttered as the slightest movement touched the Geonosian shoulder plate. The girls had to admit this was in a way very comical: Watching this mountain of a man trying his best to slip through the sleeping Geonosians. It all went downhill when a hand slapped his helmet and stayed there.
"Just punch whoever wakes up. Just the tap of your hand might make their heads explode." Cole said.
"Just help me." Drake said trying not to wake up as the Geonosian hand stayed in place. Cole sighed, but slowly made his way over to Drake, one of his hands reaching for his knife. Upon reaching Drake, Cole twirled the knife so that the blade was facing downwards.
"One, two...three!" He whispered, putting his other hand on the mouth of the Geonosian, and stabbing him in the face. The Geonosian struggled a little, but eventually went limp. Seeing his work done, Cole pulled the knife out. "Let's go." He whispered, moving back to the others. Once Drake made it through they four left as fast as they could leaving the sleeping Geonosians alone. "Told ya, nothing better than a good blade." Cole remarked.
"Left at our next junction." Barriss said walking to the next left, only to be met with a dead end. "Dead end."
"If we make a wrong turn, we may never find a way out." Ahsoka said looking around. "You do remember the way, don't you?"
"Of course I do." Barriss said concentrating and remembering which way.
"...Is it just me or is it a lot brighter in this tunnel then the others? Ghost asked.
"Guys…" Cole said, gaining their attention to see he was looking up. "I think I know where we need to go." He said.
"Of course it's up." Drake said as he grabbed Ahsoka and tossed her up into the tunnel. Cole did the same with Barriss, ignoring her cry of surprise as he followed her with Drake being last.
"Given our part-time job as explorers, I should've expected us to be doing some semblance of jumping around." Cole remarked.
"Is there something you don't have as a part-time job?" Ahsoka asked.
"...Janitors." Drake answered.
"I was gonna say something related to sex, but that's also true." Cole said.
(Above)
The Jedi and Warlocks stood their ground as droids fell left and right of them, most nothing more than molten scrap and particles being blown away. However no matter the damage they did the droids kept marching with no fear in their programming…..of course these things were brand new and didn't meet Jedi or Guardians until now.
"They should have entered the catacombs by now." Luminara said, her tone while remaining stoic did hold some form of concern in it.
"I sure hope they're not lost down there." Anakin said.
"Ya just jinxed them!" Kara yelled shooting down a Super Droid. Suddenly the rolling droids appeared and fired at the group, the Guardians shrugging off the blast while the Jedi blocked the blast.
"Rex, a little help here." Anakin ordered but before a clone could arrive with a rocket, a shell came flying past them and hitting the droids. From the explosion several more little homing rockets flew from the smoke and hit several more droids killing them. Everyone turned to see Kara with a large rocket in hand, the design had a royal like metal with golden wolf at the front and wings at the end. The Jedi and clones were very surprised and very confused, where in the name of the Force did she get it?
"...Don't tell Drake I borrowed the Gjallarhorn." Kara said putting it…..somewhere. Lyle merely grunted as he threw a Void grenade. It seemed the droid numbers were becoming thinner and thinner by the bullet. They held their ground in case more appeared, only to hear the doors open once more. From the factory came several giant vehicles, different then the others, and the next words everyone heard gave one simple description.
"TANKS!" Kara shouted. The clones backed away while the Jedi and Guardians prepared another fight.
"Looks like the Separatist have a new toy." Luminara said igniting her saber.
"Rex, pick your targets!"
"Yes, sir. Elevation four two-seven." Rex ordered as the pilots aimed the Heavy Cannons. Once they were at the right angle, Rex gave the command, and the cannons opened fire. The fire power could reduce any droid within the vicinity into nothing but scraps. However when the dust settled the tanks were perfectly fine with just scratches.
"Our shields are holding. They can't touch us." A droid within the tank stated.
"That's a rel...Wait, what's that?" The droid asked looking through the screen, its optics notice a figure running toward them. "Some kind of Jedi is running towards us."
"What's it doing?"
"Just running….wait, now it's arm is glowing purple." It watched as the figure disappeared from where it stood. "Where did it go?"
THUD!
"What the?" The battle droid lifted the hatch and looked around, before it notice the same Jedi looking figure floating above them, his arm glowing purple. "What th-!" The last thing the droid saw was a massive purple ball of death fly towards it, the entire tank was obliterated but the sheer power from the Void Bomb destroyed every tank in its path before exploding in front of the factory. The entire earth around them shook from the power, while Kara merely smirked as Lyle blinked right next to her.
"Show off." Kara joked helping Lyle back up. However before he could retort they heard the clanking of droids and saw more march out of the factory.
"Seems the others haven't quite made it yet, due to a lack of the factory exploding." Lyle said.
"Or getting lost." Kara added as the two charged at the droids, destroying every single one of them.
(Factory Power Generator)
Drake pushed the hatch opened and pulled himself out of the hole, reaching for Ahsoka and Cole. The Hunter helped Barriss out as the four stared at the massive Power Core to the factory.
"Time to take the core out." Drake said as they walked towards it.
BOOM!
"What was that?" Ahsoka asked feeling the entire factory shake from the force of unbelievable power.
"...Lyle." Drake and Cole answered as they watched the Padawans place the bombs on the side of the core.
"Uh, guys. I just scanned their systems and they have a silent alarm…..it just went off." Ghost informed appearing from thin air next to Drake.
"Figures." Drake said reaching out for his favorite rock….. "Ghost, where is my Gjallarhorn?"
"Um….." Ghost blinked a few times like he was looking for something, before turning to Drake. "I can't find it."
"What do you mean you can't find it?"
"It's not in here, someone must have taken it." Ghost informed.
"Who would take it?" Cole asked. The two took a second to think before they had a sudden realization.
"Kara." While the two Guardians mentally facepalmed each other, the Padawans finished placing the bombs.
"And now we make ourselves scarce." Ahsoka said as the two ran to the hatch, but were stopped by the sound of the door opening. Everyone turned to see several bugs, and a weird looking droid and a tank like vehicle behind them. Ahsoka activated her comm, sending the signal from red to green and signaling for the others outside. Meanwhile Drake and Cole stared at the little force in front of them, the two guessing the TX droid was the leader. However they notice Poggle was in sight, most likely in the main hub room.
"So much for 'nothing getting near us'." Drake said looking at Cole, who simply shrugged.
"Hey, we got in, didn't we?"
"You must be the ones designated as Drake, leader of the Fireteam Epsilon." The droid stated. Drake raised an eyebrow under his helmet as he prepared to pull out his Suros Regime, ready to gun down all of them.
"You know of me?"
"One does not defeat the General of the Separatist army and not be unheard of. Count Dooku warned us that you would arrive, and Poggle deemed it wise to retreat." The TX droid stated as the Geonosians aimed their blasters.
"You say that like it's gonna help you." Cole said. The tank opens fire on them distracting the Guardians who merely shrugged off the blast and fired back, the Padawans cut some of the Geonosians that tried to attack.
"See if your stupid tank can take this!" Ahsoka said throwing a bomb onto the side of the tank.
"Hahaha! Fool, the super tank is impervious to all weapons-!" The side of the tank exploded, but was left unscathed….the droid not so much.
"Well, you sure as hell aren't." Cole quipped. The tank kept firing while Drake casually walked towards it, before breaking off the turrets. Meanwhile Ahsoka and Barriss notice the Geonosians pulling off the last of the bombs. Ahsoka dashed at them and swung her lightsaber, but they had the advantage of flight and flew towards the ceiling. Ahsoka used the force to push herself into the air and grabbed one of their feet, dangling above the ground.
"Stupid green bugger!" Ahsoka grunted, before the bug swung her against the core knocking her out and sending her falling. Luckily Drake jumped into the air and boosted himself until she landed in her arms. He landed on the ground and set her down, Ghost scanning her body.
"She is just knock out cold, she'll be fine otherwise." Drake nodded before walking towards the tank. Cole followed as he hopped on the tank and pulled out his Arc Blade, cutting through the metal.
"Hello, boys! Mind if I hop in?!" He asked, before hopping in to cut the droids to bits. Barriss eyes widen as she heard a hatch open up revealing a Geonosian, signaling its brethren to follow. The Geonosians flew threw the hole with one laughing at Barriss and hopping into the hatch, closing behind them. Barriss turned to see the tank roll up to them, stopping before Ahsoka and Drake. Cole head popped out of the hole and waved at the group, signaling them to come inside. Drake picked up the unconscious Ahsoka and hopped up, putting Ahsoka inside the tank with Cole and helping Barriss inside.
"The bugs took the bombs." Barriss stated. "I...I don't know what to do without those bombs."
"We carry on the mission regardless." Cole said, patting the controls of the tank. "We are sitting inside of a war machine, after all. One capable of maximum destruction." Drake looked back at the generators then back at the others before closing the hatch and walking on top of the tank.
"Cole, on my mark fire." Drake as he pulled his hands in an X formation in front of his face, Void energy flowing through them. Cole nodded his head as he aimed the tank at the generator, but was stopped by a hand on his shoulder.
"You know we will be crushed right?" Barriss asked unsure if this was a very good idea. Cole simply smirked under his helmet.
"Trust me. Everything's gonna be fine." He said.
"Three….Two….One….Fire!" Drake said as the void energy got brighter.
"I came here to do two things, and two things only! Blow shit up, and crack jokes, and I've already cracked some jokes! SO LET'S DO THIS!" He shouted. He pressed the fire button and the tank opened fire on the core. It went critical and in seconds exploded in fire and metal, but the last thing Barriss saw was a purple dome like shield surround the tank before everything became black.
(Outside)
Lyle and Kara destroyed the last of the droids before they felt a strong gust of wind fire out from the factory, before the entire factory started exploding and collapsing before them. Lyle grabbed Kara and blinked them away, landing next to the Jedi and clones. They all watched as the factory collapsed and crumbled into nothing but pile of rubble and metal.
"Ahsoka?" Anakin asked in the comms, hoping to get a answer from his padawan. "Ahsoka, can you hear me? Come in!" Anakin ordered, until he notice Luminara go to her knees, as if she was meditating.
"Master Luminara, don't worry." Anakin said.
"Yeah." The two Jedi turned to see Kara and Lyle walk up to them. "I'm sure with Drake and Cole down there, they'll be fine." Kara reassured. The two Warlocks looked back at the rubble and notice it shaking for a bit, confident that everything was fine.
(Unknown)
Ahsoka groaned as she rubbed her head, a slight pain from being smacked against the metal. She looked to see Barriss with her Lightsaber ignited and looking around.
"How deep do you think we're buried?" Barriss asked.
"I don't know, I can't see shit cause someone's sitting on my helmet." Came the muffled voice of Cole. Barriss eyes widen and looked down, seeing the Hunter under her robe. She pulled back and gave the Hunter some room, a small blush on her cheeks seeing he was literally under her as he moved around. She muttered a 'sorry' while Cole got comfortable, while Ghost spoke up.
"We're in pretty deep, but luckily Drake can manage." Ghost said reappearing in the middle of the group.
"Where...is Drake?" Ahsoka asked seeing the Titan nowhere in the tank.
"Out here." They heard a muffled voice outside the tank. Ahsoka was surprised to see the hatch open up very easily and she looked up in shock to see Drake hold up the rubble. She notice they he didn't seem to be straining over the fact he was holding a mountain size fortress over his shoulders.
"Get Cole out here and cut a way up. I'll hold up while you guys get out." Drake ordered with no strain in his tone, Ahsoka nodded as she went back into the tank muttering about 'Titans Super strength indeed'.
"Well, best get to work since the mission's done. Dig like you're trying to escape a prison cell. Probably a Cabal one. Nasty business, those guys." Cole noted as he hopped out of the tank thanks to the room, before activating his Arc Blade. He began to slash the rubble with his Blade, slicing through the metal. As he continued going up Barriss and Ahsoka followed with the Togruta looking to see the Titan just staying where he is.
"What about you?" Ahsoka asked seeing he couldn't move in his place.
"Don't worry. You just get out." Drake said pushing her away with a free hand before he continued to hold the rubble up.
"You know this reminds me of a time when my Vanguard, Cayde-6 decided to-!"
(With Lyle and the others)
While Anakin tried to contact Ahsoka, Luminara meditated beside Kara who simply sat beside her with Lyle standing on the other side of her with his arms crossed. The four waited as some of the clones used Gunships to load some metal to hopefully close the distance.
"KZZZ-because Zavala feared a curious Cayde could burn the whole Tower down if he had access to things like those after that particular incident. And that, my friends, is why Cayde was never allowed to use flares ever again." Lyle, Kara, and Luminara turned to Anakin, his comms coming to life and hearing an all to familiar voice of the Hunter. Kara faced beamed in happiness before they all heard the sound of metal being blown away and notice blue like arc energy flying out of the ground.
"They're okay. Told you." Kara whispered to Luminara as the Arc Hunter burst out of the ground, pulling Ahsoka and Barriss with him but the other notice there was no sign of Drake. Anakin and Luminara walked towards their Padawans, Anakin catching his before she stumbled over debris and Luminara bowing to her Padawan.
"Never doubted you for a second." Kara said as the two Warlocks joined the Hunter.
"What can I say, I specialize in the art of destruction." Cole said.
"...Where is your Titan friend?" Anakin asked, but before Cole could answer they heard some sort of noise echoing from the hole.
"...aaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" A voice screamed as it got closer.
"Who is that?" Ahsoka asked.
"...That's Ghost." Lyle answered as the small little robot flew out.
"RUN! ITS GONNA BLOW!" The small Light screamed as he flew past the others. The others started running as the ground around them started shaking. feeling the faint pule of energy explode from below. Once they made it far from the rubble and debris they were nearly sent flying from the explosion of Arc energy that turned anything around it into nothing but ashes. If one would look from the sky they would see a large mushroom cloud in the sky, clearing past the first sphere of Geonosis.
After the smoke cleared the Guardians dusted themselves off as they all looked towards the base. After a few seconds they heard the sound of footsteps and watched as Drake walked out of the smoke, clapping his hands off any remaining Arc energy.
"He's right there." Came the simple response of Cole to Anakin, who then laid down on the ground, exhausted.
"What sort of energy was that?" Barriss asked shocked, but she felt she had seen it somewhere else.
"The Fist of Havoc." Kara answered as she sat down next to Cole.
"Arc energy." Lyle explained. "Much like Cole's Arc Blade. Though while Cole can channel that energy into a blade, as of the moment, most Titans are only able to place that energy into a single slam. Before coming here, I heard rumors about some trying to make it into a 'Roaming Super', but those experiments weren't going well." Anakin didn't say anything, after these past couple of hours he felt he had paled in comparison to the likes of Lyle's weird death ball and whatever Drake just did.
"Supers?" Ahsoka asked, never thinking they would name their powers like that.
"They are our powers given names by the type of element they have." Drake answered finally catching up and hearing Ahsoka asked the question.
"Well I believe these are stories for another time. Padawan, you did well." Luminara said bowing to her padawan.
"Thank you, Master. But if it weren't for Cole and Drake we'd still be down there." Barriss said gesturing to the two Guardians.
"Oh, I'm sure you'd have gotten out. Not as stylishly, of course, but you'd probably have figured something out." Cole said with a pat on her shoulder.
"Indeed." Luminara said bowing her head to Drake. "Thank you Drake, for protecting our Padawans."
"My pleasure, Ms. Unduli." Drake said as he sat down and pulled off his helmet. The group just took the time to enjoy the moment of silence. "Though Poggle retreated."
"No matter, I doubted he would have stuck around. We'll just have to contact the others for a manhunt on Poggle." Anakin informed, Drake nodded before looking at the female Warlock.
"...Kara."
"Yeah?"
"WHERE THE FUCK IS MY GJALLARHORN?!" Drake exclaimed, pointing at Kara who started chuckling nervously.
"Well…...Oh look at the time, better head inside." Kara instantly bolted up and started pacing as fast as she could back to the homemade base.
"KARA!"
"...Do you guys have Ramen shops around here? Specifically when we head back to Coruscant?"
Yep, just another day for Fireteam Epsilon.
(Unknown Sector of Space)
"Hello?! Hello?!" A voice called out from within the darkness. From the darkness a large object flew through the room, it sole eye glowing and only light source in this place. It had been online over a day but needed to recharge it's main power source. Once it was completely back online it made its way to what appeared to be the main hall.
"I do not understand, where is my Maker? Maker?!" The orb yelled as it looked around, scanning all objects that could help it understand what was going on. Once it made to what appeared to be doors it pushed through.
SMASH!
"...Oops." The ball muttered as it flew to what appeared to be outside. It looked around to what must be a street as it scanned the metal objects.
SHOOM!
The Object was flown back a bit from an unknown source before it looked up and saw a large blue pillar of energy fly through the sky. The object glowed blue before it blinked and shook it a bit, before it regained some sort of thing close to composure.
"New Objectives required: Return to Zakuul Square and Activate the Pillar."
Zer0: DONE! DONZO! UNO DONE! I'M OUT OF DONES!
Bio: We got shit done, finally.
Zer0: I hope you enjoy this chapter. We know it's not the most descriptive thing ever, we are working on that. But what do you expect? Twenty thousand words of the most descriptive way a droid died?
Bio: Do you want us to treat droids like human beings, where you can describe piece-by-piece how you can totally eviscerate them?
Zer0: We will most likely be longer later down this story but for now there are literally as long as the episode is. Also some new updates on the pairing, on Lyle side, won't spoil yet but you'll know soon. Also what was that strange orb? Zakuul? Such strange events? And how is it tied to the orb and quite possibly, the Guardians? Find out soon! Also I want before anyone thinks we hate Anakin, I just want you all to know I am not fond of Anakin but don't think this entire series will bash him. Anakin has never gotten along with new people, Thrawn and some others are proof of that. Though they will get along very soon...or something like that.
Bio: Much like everything, it will be equally spicy. Like my memes.
Zer0: And the ramen. Until then, find out on DRAGON BAL-SHIT WRONG QUOTE! FIND OUT NEXT TIME ON Destiny Book 1: Attack of the Guardians!
