Chapter 4: The Insane Rebel

One Month Later...

Odessen Base: Meeting Room

As the Eternal Alliance slowly began recovering from the unexpected, but short civil war hitting Odessen. More bad news were heading their way. On the Holonews The Republic and Empire channels showed recordings of the captured Alliance Members: Hylo Visz, Nico Okarr and Shae Vizla. Satele and Acina were standing together. The Alliance followed every word of what transpired.

The Outlander commented: "I hate to say it Juvard but our fears are now confirmed. The enemy have taken our friends captive and now possess the Tomb Raider."

Lana said: "This has turned into a bad situation."

Juvard lowered his head and answered: "My apologies. Overconfidence have always been a trait we Hutts have never manage to get rid of."

Theron said: "I have a feeling, whatever they are about to announce will only make us more anxious."

Satele began speaking: "Today marks a new era in the history of The Republic and Empire. Alone we have been unsuccessful. But together we will triumph. As long as the Eternal Fleet exists there will never be peace."

Acina continued: "The Eternal Empire was a formidable enemy and the Eternal Alliance even more. We now see the necessity in working together against a common foe. We stand here before you, having captured members of the new reformed Eternal Empire."

Satele continued: "The prisoners will be treated fairly and transported to Janna, where they will be left stranded in the desert world. Special jammers will be installed blocking outside communications. Any attempts to liberate them from the world, or destruction of the jammers will be met with fierce attack from our ally warship."

Acina continued: "We know all the events in the past can't be erased. Too many lives lost in past wars. But the Eternal Fleet means certain annihilation. There will be neither Republic or Empire left if The Eternal Alliance is left unchecked."

Satele added: "That is why with a heavy heart..."

Acina added: "That is why with a shameful pride..."

Satele and Acina both ended with: "We hereby put aside our differences, and announce the creation of the first Sovereign Republic Empire!"

An army of dark and light clad soldiers stood ready with their hands up to their chest. Jedi and Sith clad in mix of dark and light armor, a split dark and light colored mask, stood ready and saluted holding their lightsabers ready.

Neyx stepped forward as Satele and Acina bowed and stepped back.

Neyx proclaimed: "We will destroy the Eternal Fleet, the Eternal Throne and the Eternal Alliance who represents them. In order to accomplish that the Jedi or Sith are no more. Here in stands the Parity Crusaders. The Republic and Imperials have been converted into the Sovereign Soldiers. The prisoners have already been transported to the remote world. Whatever happens on Janna will be up to them. Goodbye."

Neyx bowed and the channel were cut.

Theron asked: "Okay... who in the world is that?"

Lana answered: "I don't know. I have never felt that kind of powerful Force energy before. I also sense an abnormal change among their troops."

Aric commented: "I don't know how to make of those soldiers."

Arcann commented: "It looks like this person is connected to the attack on Odessen."

Senya said: "I sense immense strength in the man himself."

Vette asked: "What is our next move Commander?"

The Outlander answered: "The new Sovereign Republic Empire declared war on us. We won't take this lying down! Koth prep the Gravestone! Be ready to depart for Janna!"

Koth saluted and said: "Yes Commander."

Lana asked and said: "Is this wise Commander? It could be a trap. A month have passed. Anything could have happened to them."

The Outlander said: "I understand your worries Lana. But we are The Alliance. We stand together. I don't have any intention of abandoning our friends and comrades, if they are still alive."

Lana said: "Understood Commander."

The Outlander said: "Theron prepare a team to move out."

Palades: The S.R.E headquarter - Neyx's Throne Room

Neyx sat on his throne and stared down at the Parity Crusaders and the Sovereign Soldiers. Satele and Acina sat next to him.

Acina asked and said: "Something wrong Neyx? You seem quiet."

Neyx answered: "When I look at them I am quite surprised. They work so well in unison. Only a month have passed."

Satele commented: "That is because you made quite the impression on them."

Acina commented: "Indeed. I still remember the turmoil after your announcement."

Neyx, Satele and Acina's flashback(Action format)

After Neyx's announcement and the cheers were over, some Jedi Masters and Sith Lords began complaining and demanded Neyx show them his face. Neyx remained calm and told them that doing that would complicate many things. The apprentices of both orders refused to bow. But Neyx used the Force with his right hand and forced the hundreds of Jedi and Sith gathered down on their knees. Neyx stopped. Many Jedi and Sith were shocked, annoyed and immediately draw their lightsabers. Satele and Acina were about to interfere. But Neyx simply lifted his hand telling them to stand by. They complied. Neyx took off his weapon belt on his robe and threw them to Jackal who stood nearby.

Jackal giggled and commented: "Those guys are so screwed!"

Neyx said: "I don't need my weapons to show you the difference in everything."

Many of the Jedi and Sith jumped and moved toward Neyx, who studied their movements. Five Sith and Jedi Apprentices jumped forward and ready to cut Neyx, whose trained senses and supernatural powers perceived them as moving in slow motion. Neyx quickly dispatched their attack by kicking them and punching them once, sending them flying in every direction into the walls. Many continued and were kicked and punched back. The masters of Sith and Jedi saw futility in direct approached. They decided to use the force together. But Neyx simply lifted his left hand and absorbed and converted their attack. An aura of golden energy split into white blue and dark red. Neyx send the blue energy to the Sith and the red into the Jedi, blasting them all down on the ground. Satele and Acina were surprised at Neyx's power. Neyx lowered his left hand. Neyx signaled Mentz to step forward. He did and donning the armor of Parity. Mentz used Force Push and pinned all Jedi and Sith into the walls. He let go after a minute. Mentz levitated all the Jedi and Sith lightsabers and ignited them surprising everyone.

A Jedi master asked: "Who are you? And who is he?"

Neyx answered: "My name is Neyx. I use both The Dark and Light. This is my apprentice Mentz."

All the Jedi and Sith slowly rise, hostility have left their bodies and awe emitted from them. Neyx looked at Mentz who removed his mask, revealing a dark golden eye and a light blue eye clear of any influence.

Neyx said: "Serve me and learn both light and dark to completion. The Jedi and Sith are incomplete. Both possessing one half of a whole. Becoming stronger through both and walk together with me. As we break the Eternal Fleet's hold on the galaxy."

The Sith and Jedi could do nothing. They could only bow as they knew too well themselves, that their current strength is nowhere enough to accomplish anything.

Flashback: Days/Weeks passed...

Neyx oversaw Satele and Acina switching and showing Sith and Jedi both sides of the Force. Basic, advanced techniques and utilizing of the Force through emotion and non-aggression. Neyx continued wandering between training the new Sovereign Troops in resisting the Force. Mass amounts of exposure was the solution. The training was overseeing by Jace Malcom and at occasions Jackal.

Palades: The S.R.E headquarter - Neyx's Throne Room

Neyx rise and said: "Indeed. Although their training is proceeding smoothly I still need to prepare for other matters."

Acina asked curiously: "Such as?"

Neyx answered: "The Empire lacks a Supreme Commander among the military. You two also are falling behind regarding power. The Parity Crusaders already surpass both of you."

Satele commented: "Hate to admit, but it is the truth. We are representing both Republic and Empire. We can't afford to be weak."

Acina replied and asked: "Indeed. So Neyx. Have you prepared anything for us?"

Neyx answered: "I have. Two powerful apprentices trained by me have been prepared for you. Acina you shall travel to Tython and go through different trials. Satele you will do the same but on Korriban."

The two rise. They turned toward Neyx.

Acina asked: "How long will the training last?"

Neyx answered: "That is up to your teachers."

Satele asked: "What if we fail?"

Neyx answered: "Then it is over."

Satele and Acina were surprised.

Neyx continued: "I might have manage to convince the Jedi and Sith to working together now. But the two of you will be the main catalysts, which will decide whether we can maintain the Sovereign Republic Empire or not. Think about your people, your own path and what you intend to do from here on. As you train, fight, grow and become true masters of the Force."

Satele and Acina began walking. Before they left they both bowed to Neyx who nodded.

Palades: Docking Bay

Satele said: "Good luck High Minister Acina."

Acina said: "You too High Minister Satele."

As Acina and Satele boarded their shuttles, it had already been pre-programmed to send them off to their respective destinations.

Korriban: Ancient Ruins

Satele stepped out from her starship. A cloaked individual whose left golden eye shined stood and waited.

Satele asked a bit wary: "Are you my new teacher?"

? answered: "Indeed. You have much to learn. Let us begin immediately. Follow me into this temple."

Satele quietly followed the individual.

Tython: Ancient Ruins

Acina stepped out from her starship. She were greeted by a woman who wore the Parity Crusaders Armor. Her right eye was golden and her left eye green.

Acina asked a bit hesitant: "Are you my Master?"

? answered: "Indeed I am. You possess a vast potential. We are gonna explore it and unleash it."

Acina asked: "What kind of training will I be doing?"

? answered: "Varies. We will see how you handle it. Be aware that you will be risking your life."

Acina said: "Daily as usual for me. Let us begin."

? replied: "Alright. Follow me into the temple."

Acina followed The Mysterious Parity Individual.

Janna

On Janna a transport arrived. Parity Crusaders dropped off Hylo Visz, Nico Okarr and Shae Vizla. They threw down their weapons and the ammo separately.

A Parity Crusader said: "Good luck Alliance members."

The Parity Crusaders' shuttle left and reunited with an White Battlecruiser painted similar to the Iokath's droids.

Janna Orbit:

Aboard The White Battle Cruiser

White Battlecruiser: Bridge

Jace stood wearing the new armor mixed with republic and imperial colors. He looked over the planet Janna.

Jace asked: "So I guess it is up to me to keep them on that planet?"

A Sovereign Soldier answered: "Yes sir! No matter what happens we are with you till the end."

Jace commented: "Alright then. Let us begin. Activate the jammers."

A Sovereign Soldier answered: "Yes sir."

He pushed on a few buttons on the control panel and five black jammers were send floating around Janna jamming any communication from the planet.

Jace said and asked: "I guess now the only thing to do is wait. But I am a bit worried. Is this warship alone enough to handle the Eternal Fleet?"

A Parity Crusader came in to the bridge and answered: "Don't worry. We have something powerful as support just in case."

The Parity Crusader pointed outside, where the Tomb Raider had just arrived.

Jace said: "Alright. It increases our chances a bit."

FarTria: Desert

June were locked in a Force Choke by a Sith Lord. She grasped for air but the Sith Lord angrily snapped her neck as her lifeless body fell to the ground.

The Sith Lord turned around and commented: "Pathetic. This was no challenge at all. I need to contact the GenoHaradan and get my rewar-"

The Sith Lord reflexly cried: "Ahh!"

Before the Sith Lord could finish her sentence, she had been pierced through the back with two lightsabers. As she slowly turned around and fell to her knees. She saw June unscathed. But before she could ask. June put a devilish smile on her face, her two lightsabers in cross and beheaded the Sith Lord.

June said: "I really hate The Sith. They have tried that lousy move at least thirty times against me."

June gathered the Sith Lord's gear, armor and weapons and left.

FarTria: June's House

As June returned home and entered her small house a White and a Black HK-55 stood and waited for her.

In unison they said: "Welcome home Master!"

June sighed and asked: "You two never get tired of doing this right?"

They both answered: "Never Master!"

June sat down and asked: "When is the weapon ready Black?"

Black answered: "It is almost ready. We just need one more lightsaber."

June gave the Black HK the lightsaber she just collected.

Black answered: "Perfect Master! I will add this in immediately."

June looked at the White HK and asked: "What about the new Hybrid Starship?"

White answered: "It is ready Master! We can use it whenever you want."

June said: "That is great! Finally we can get off this godforsaken desert! I have spent over one year of my life here thanks to those GenoHaradan bastards!"

White replied: "Indeed! Their automatic defense satellite floating in orbit is quite the pain!"

June said: "When Black comes back we begin operation "Liberate the Rebel" Immediately!"

White answered: "Yes master!"

Palades: S.R.E headquarter - Neyx Throne Room

Jackal were on his knees down before Neyx.

Neyx said: "I have a mission for you Jackal."

Jackal answered: "Whatever you command Boss."

Neyx said: "I want you to travel to Odessen in disguise and kill *certain* members of the Eternal Alliance."

Jackal replied: "Sounds exciting. Who?"

Neyx handed Jackal a datapad of names and holo images of the targets.

Jackal skimmed through and asked: "If I can infiltrate them, wouldn't it be better to just kill them all?"

Neyx answered: "No. We are gonna use the Alliance to remove some *disturbing elements* I sense in the distance. So for now those are your targets."

Jackal asked: "Why them? They look intimidating enough, but still..."

Neyx answered: "A vision."

Jackal dismissed further questions and simple said: "Understood."

Jackal rise and headed for the hangar. Neyx clenched his fists and stared at the Parity Crusaders who continued their training regime.

Janna Orbit:

The Gravestone appeared out from hyperspace near Janna, accompanied by Eternal Fleet Battlecruisers.

Gravestone: Bridge

Aboard the Gravestone were the Outlander, Koth, Theron, Arcann, Senya, Sana-Rae, her students of Force users and Alliance Soldiers.

Theron said and asked: "Commander a big White Warship is ahead of us. What shall we do?"

Arcann commented: "The first strike will give us the advantage."

Koth said: "I don't know. I don't feel good just firing on them without warning. Maybe we should contact them?"

Senya replied: "But they know we are coming. They stated themselves any incoming ships would be targeted."

Theron said: "Commander it is your call. What do you think we should do?"

The Outlander thought for a moment but decided: Contact them(Light)/Send the Eternal Fleet forward(Neutral)/Attack without warning(Dark)

The Outlander said: "They know we are coming anyway. Establish contact."

Theron said: "Understood."

Theron used the communication and contacted the Warship.

Theron stated: "Hello, hello this is the Gravestone coming in. We are soon approaching your location. Please answer."

The voice on the other end then called out and asked: "Theron? Is that you?"

Theron recognized the voice too well.

He asked: "Dad?"

Koth pushed around a a few buttons and a hologram of Jace Malcom displayed.

He replied: "Son? It is good to hear from you. Although I guess not under these circumstances."

Everyone felt kinda awkward regarding the situation.

Theron asked: "Is there some way for you to overlook our intruding?"

Jace shook his head and answered: "I am afraid not. As it is now my loyalty is tied to Neyx, and he ordered not to let anyone enter."

Theron said a bit sad: "Even though I chose to leave the Republic. You know I still love you and mom. Right?"

Jace smiled and commented: "It is the same for me. I am sorry, but I need to offer up some resistance. Prepare yourselves. Jace Malcom out."

Theron were a bit sad but said: "Let us get ready for combat."

The Outlander looked at Theron and said: "We just need to disable their weapons. No need to do additional unnecessary damage."

Theron replied with a smile: "Thanks Commander."

The Outlander said: "Everyone let's go! Prepare to engage!"

The Gravestone moved forward, spearheading as the rest of the Eternal Fleet followed. The Tomb Raider suddenly appeared behind the Eternal Fleet and began shooting them down.

Koth said: "Commander! The Tomb Raider! It has appeared and begun destroying our fleet!"

The Outlander asked: "Anyone having any suggestions?"

Vaylin appeared and said: "The Tomb Raider is the biggest threat to your fleet. Use all your resources to destroy it. That way that starship in front will be right for picking."

Senya said: "Think it through Commander. That starship was made as a second hope. Is it okay to simply remove it after all the work we used to build it?"

The Outlander thought and decided: Follow Senya(Light)/Follow Vaylin(Dark)

The Outlander said: "The Tomb Raider is a second hope. Koth! Change strategy. Order the fleet to circle us as we engage the White Battlecruiser."

Koth said: "Understood."

Vaylin scoffed and said: "Things will only get messier. It is just a matter of time."

Vaylin disappeared.

Arcann said: "My sister is always quite the charmer."

Senya sigh replied: "We can only hope for a miracle."

The Outlander and Jace's starship engage in a shoot out.

Janna: Desert

As Hylo, Nico and Shae began threading through the desert. They stumble upon something unexpected. A camp made of GenoHaradan agents.

Janna: GenoHaradan Camp

Shae asked: "This doesn't look good. This place is spawning with them!"

Hylo answered: "This is just great! Out from all we could run into, why the GenoHaradan of all people?!"

Nico commented: "I actually think that Neyx guy send us here deliberately."

Hylo looked around. The GenoHaradan seemed busy excavating something.

Nico said: "Let us just step back and leave without disturbing them."

But as they all began to slowly move back.

An agent spotted them and yelled: "Intruders! Someone have seen us! After them!"

It took a few minutes for the GenoHaradan to mobilize. Shae, Hylo and Nico used the opportunity to run out into the desert.

Janna: Desert

The GenoHaradan chased them n vehicles. Hylo, Shae and Nico were exhausted. They began drawing their blasters seeing no way to outrun them.

Hylo yelled: "Come and get us GenoHaradan bastards!"

Hylo and Nico shot a few agents. Shae also had her jetpack and used it to acquire aerial advantage. They all shot dead multiple agents. They snatched their vehicles and began moving.

Shae said: "Let's us get a move on! They will probably send reinforcements!"

Hylo and Nico answered: "Awright!"

As they used the vehicles. Hylo checked for any beacon or communication equipments. She found a signal beacon. She activated it. But the jamming stopped it.

Hylo yelled: "Damn it! Jammed!"

Shae noticed something shinning in the distance. A shot came flying toward her destroying her vehicle.

Shae jumped from it as it exploded and yelled: "Sniper!"

Hylo and Nico turned around and send their stolen vehicle on collision course with the pursue GenoHaradans, killing a few of them. Hylo and Shae stayed down. The explosion and impact had made Nico disoriented. He accidentally rise. The GenoHaradan sniper took the shot.

Nico cried: "Agh!"

The laser blast flew and pierced Nico's chest. Nico fell to the ground. Hylo were shocked and moved on instinct toward him exposing herself.

Hylo yelled: "Nico!"

Shae yelled: "No! Stay down!"

Shae expected the shot. But nothing happened.

Hylo clung to Nico's body who slowly began losing it's sign of life. She kept calling his name. Shae slowly crawled toward him.

Hylo were sadden, exhausted and said: "Please Commander. Don't let us die like this!"

FarTria: Desert

June, White and Black carried a giant cannon made of over one hundred lightsabers. The three used a mobile vehicle. They found a perfect location.

FarTria: Old Ruins

June, White and Black prepared to set up the cannon. They had everything ready. They began activation and now added everything included the telescope used for the aim. Everything was set.

Black said enthusiastically : "Everything is ready Master!"

White commented: "You can take the shot anytime you are ready Master:"

June said: "Hasta la vista GenoHaradan scums!"

June were seconds from pulling the trigger when a fleet emerged from hyperspace. They blew up the satellite. June took a step back.

Black commented: "A fleet? This is unexpected."

White commented: "I guess our work was fruitless as all your other plans Master."

June clenched her fists and yelled: "Are you damn kidding me?! Why the heck are you appearing now?! I am gonna give those bastards a piece of my mind! White! Activate the beacon! Let them know where we are."

White said: "Understood Master."

White went back to the car and activated it. A shuttle arrived. It landed nearby. June approached it with black and white following. Out from the shuttle came out none other than Nadia Grell. The lover of Jedi Barsen'thor.

Nadia presented herself humbly and said: "Greetings. I have come here today to sa-"

Before Nadia could finish June slapped her in the face without much power sending her falling down.

The bodyguards pointed their weapons at June.

June began complaining: "Are you kidding me?! Your fleet appear out of nowhere at the exact moment I were ready to use my weapon?!"

Nadia rise a bit shaken and asked: "Your weapon?"

Black and White pointed toward the back where a giant cannon had been installed.

June continued and said annoyed: "Those GenoHaradan bastards have kept me pinned down here for over a year! And finally when I am ready to enact my revenge, your fleet appear out of nowhere and steals my kill! I mean look at that cannon! What shall I do with that damn thing now?"

Nadia understood the situation. She signaled to her bodyguards to stand down.

Nadia went down on her knees, bowed and said: "I am deeply sorry for disrupting your plans. But the truth is..."

Nadia began explaining something which gave June a mix of pale and anger on her face.

June said and asked: "Let me get this straight. No one were aboard that damn satellite, even though it was online all this time? You send a team to investigate and discovered no one had been there for years. The GenoHaradan simply rused me first by firing a giant beam down as an demonstration, they then let the fear keep me here and all this time, while no one was on board?"

Nadia nodded a bit defensively.

June clenched her fists and yelled: "Damn you! Damn you GenoHaradan! I will slaughter you bastards! AAAHHHH!"

Nadia then waited for June to calm down and asked: "Miss June Helix. I was wondering. Do you want to help us with something? It involves dealing quite the damage to the GenoHaradan."

June answered: "You've got my attention."

Nadia said: "The GenoHaradan have made a massive military installation on the planet Janna. News indicate that Eternal Alliance members have been stranded on the planet. We hoped to get your help in freeing them, former Zakuul Guerrilla Rebel June Helix aka *The Force Hunter*."

June smiled and said: "If I get my shot at the GenoHaradan then I am in!"

Black asked: "My Master always forgets to ask the important questions, when she is excited. Who are you people?"

Outside the ship came another familiar face. Jaesa Willsaam(Light).

Jaesa answered: "We are an Alliance neutral to anyone else. The Neutral Hegemony. We are fighting to protect the ones who aren't able to protect themselves."

June said: "Sounds exciting! Help me gather all my things onboard and I will go with you!"

Nadia asked: "What about your cannon?"

June said: "You can consider it a gift after we finish our business."

Nadia smiled and Jaesa also went out and helped with carrying in June's items and the cannon.

Alliance Supply convoy: Bridge

Jackal had manage to get on board an Alliance Supply Convoy. The whole crew stood in front of him.

He used the Force on them and said: "I am your friend. We have known each other for years. I am a part of the Alliance. We will return to Odessen and deliver our supplies to our comrades."

They all repeated it. Jackal smiled. The convoy continued. Jackal put on an Alliance uniform. He smiled as he ready himself for the infiltration.

Gravestone: Bridge

The battle intensified. A majority of the Eternal Fleet have been destroyed. The Gravestone and the White Battlecruiser fired at each other. Both sides were locked and took damage.

Koth asked and said: "Commander? You have a plan? The Gravestone can't continue this forever!"

Arcann said: "The Gravestone is strong but not invincible."

Sana-Rae commented: "Believe in the Force Commander."

The Outlander looked at Sana-Rae and decided: Believe in the Force(Light)/Fire Light Emitters(Neutral)/Fire the Omnicannon(Dark)

The Outlander said: "I believe in the Force. The Force is with us."

The Outlander closed his eyes. He focused his aura. His hand aiming for the hyperdrive button. Everyone looked surprised and a bit nervous.

The Outlander said: "Believe in me."

The Outlander closed the engine.

Everyone looked at each other, smiled and answered: "We do."

The Outlander put his right hand on the button. The others pushed his hand and the hyperdrive activated, sending them into hyperspace. The Outlander focused on Hylo, Shae and Nico's energy and guided the coordinates.

Janna: Desert

Hylo, Shae and Nico were surrounded. As the GenoHaradan approached. A hyperspace portal opened and the Gravestone appeared landing violently on the sand. The door went up. The Outlander stepped outside and his Alliance.

The Outlander saw Hylo, Shae and Nico. Shae and hylo smiled.

The Outlander said: Protect our Comrades(Light)/Let The GenoHaradan Pay(Dark)

The Outlander said: "Defend our friends!"

The Outlander, Sana-Rae and her students engaged the GenoHaradan in battle. The Outlander and his Alliance quickly overwhelmed them. They cut down many GenoHaradan members. The rest fled. Arcann and Senya helped Hylo up. Theron helped Shae. The Outlander saw Nico with Sana-Rae.

He asked worried: "How is his condition?"

Sana-Rae looked down. She checked his pulse, his heart beat and his energy. But nothing.

Sana-Rae said sadly: "I am sorry Commander. He is dead."

Hylo heard it. She bite her lip as Arcann and Senya helped her inside. Theron also supported Shae. Vehicles were heard approaching. The fleeing GenoHaradan returned with reinforcements. A battalion of around hundred to a thousand agents marched forward. The Outlander returned to the Gravestone.

Gravestone: Bridge

The Outlander yelled: "Koth! A battalion of those Agents are coming! We are outnumbered!"

Koth said: "Alright! Let us take off!"

The Gravestone slowly began to ascend.

Janna: Desert

GenoHaradan agents began firing EMP Blasts on the Gravestone disabling it.

Gravestone: Bridge

Koth said: "Damn it! The Gravestone's systems have been fried!"

Theron commented worriedly: "This doesn't look good."

Arcann said: "There are so many..."

Vaylin appeared and said: "I don't intend to die here! Even if I did I would rather fight until the end."

Everyone were surprised by Vaylin's words.

The Outlander clenched his fists and said: "I won't give up! Whatever happens will happen. I don't intend to do nothing! Who is with me?!"

Everyone slowly rise.

White Battlecruiser: Bridge

Jace watched the events unfold down on the planet. He clenched his fists.

Jace said: "I feel so powerless... my son is down there. How is he gonna survive this?"

A Parity Crusader said: "Have faith in Neyx. He will keep his promise."

Jace said: "Right. I don't intend to doubt him. I can only hope."

Janna: Airspace

A fleet appeared above the skies of Janna. The Outlander and everyone stood face to face with The GenoHaradan Forces.

Neutral Hegemony Flagship: Docking Bay

Aboard the Neutral Hegemony Flagship stood June. She stared down and saw around one thousand GenoHaradan agents down on the planet.

June had a menacing expression on her face and said: "Black and White let us go get our revenge!"

The two answered: "Understood Master!"

June open the starship exit. Gusts of wind hit her face and everyone near her.

Jaesa asked: "What are you doing miss June?"

Nadia asked: "Isn't this a bit too much?"

June answered: "When you are young you gotta live! Although I don't expect you two old ladies, who are pass their prime to understand."

Jaesa and Nadia felt insulted: Wha-"

June said: "See ya."

But before they could answer June jumped. Black and White followed. They all had jetpacks.

Jaesa and Nadia glimpsed down. They were both hesitant and both sighed.

Janna: Desert

June released the jetpack around ten meters above the earth. As she landed, she automatically began cutting down GenoHaradan agents. Black and White did the same. Both draw their special lightsaber blasters, and began shooting multiple agents, one shot piercing multiple targets.

June laughed and yelled: "Hahaha! Time to pay GenoHaradan scum! Take this! And this!"

Black said: "Oh dear. Master wait up!"

The Outlander and the Alliance looked in awe, as they saw how efficiently the young woman, and two droids made short process of the enemy agents.

The Outlander said: "That is quite impressive. I wonder who they are?"

Theron saw the starships insignia and said: "I think those ships are from the Neutral hegemony!"

Arcann asked: "Are they our allies?"

Vaylin appeared and said: "What are you all standing around gawking for?! We still need to get rid of the rest of these pests!"

Vaylin disappeared after saying her piece.

The Outlander said: "Right! Let us go everyone! Arcann, Senya and Koth! Protect the Gravestone! Theron and Sana-Rae you are with me!"

Everyone answered: "Understood."

Sana-Rae said: "Split into two groups my students. Half with the Commander and half protect the Gravestone."

Force users: "Understood Master!"

The Outlander moved forward and began cutting down GenoHaradan Troops. As they moved further and further ahead. The Outlander saw the GenoHaradan agents pull in tanks, walkers and other heavy artillery. But the Neutral Hegemony took care of it with their StarFighters.

Theron said: "We are pushing them back!"

The Outlander saw June being surrounded. She looked over to him. He decided: Give her support(Light)/Ignore her(Dark)

The Outlander asked: "Can you guys hold your own?"

Sana-Rae answered: "There are still a few, but we can manage."

Theron and the Force Users nodded. The Outlander ran over to June and began reducing the number of GenoHaradan troops.

June smiled and said: "You intend to help me? Why?"

The Outlander answered: "Do you need a reason to help others?"

June replied: "Not really. I hope you are up to the task old man."

The Outlander smirked and said: "I will show you how capable this old man is."

The two circle around cutting down GenoHaradan agents, as they end up back to back. They continued defend each other as they swung their lightsabers.

Tomb Raider: Bridge

Mentz saw the situation change. The Neutral Hegemony had chased off the White Battlecruiser, and dealt some average amounts of damage to the Jammers.

Mentz contacted Neyx over holo and reported: "Master Neyx. A new fleet have invaded Janna and begun supporting the Alliance against the GenoHaradan forces."

Neyx said: "I see. If you see an opportunity then intercept them. I want to know the Alliance Forces strength. But avoid killing unless it is Force Users."

Mentz answered and asked: "Understood Master. What about the off-limited?"

Neyx answered: "They will play an important role later. For now absolutely not."

Mentz said: "Understood."

Neyx closed the holo. Mentz sat and waited, continuing observing the situation on Janna.

Janna: Desert

The Alliance with the Neutral Hegemony manage to defeat the majority of the agents. The Outlander and June were a bit exhausted.

The Outlander said: "You manage yourself in those fights."

June answered: "You aren't half bad yourself."

The Outlander asked: "There is a place in the Eternal Alliance for someone with your skill. What do you say?"

June answered: "It sounds interesting. Let me think about it."

The Outlander nodded.

June remembered and said: "By the way. The old ladies up in ship asked me to give you this."

June handed the Outlander a holocommunicator. He activated it. Jaesa and Nadia appeared.

The Outlander bowed shortly and said: "Thank you for coming to our rescue. I owe you."

Nadia and Jaesa also bowed.

Nadia asked: "Commander. I was wondering if an Alliance with the Neutral Hegemony might be of interest?"

The Outlander asked and said: "Before we begin that. Can you guys give us a hand with our ship? We are kinda stranded here."

Jaesa answered: "Of course. It is the least we could do."

The Outlander asked: "What about your friend who seem to be eager to hunt down the GenoHaradan?"

Jaesa said: "We had mutual agreements. She seems to want to stay for a while. So I think it is fine."

The Outlander asked: "What about the White Battlecruiser and Tomb Raider?"

Nadia answered: "We don't notice any hostilities among the fleet."

Jaesa said: "Hang in there. We will meet you soon."

The Outlander nodded and the holo ended. The Outlander looked around. The members seemed a bit beaten and a few of Sana-Rae's student had fallen in battle with the Alliance troops.

Palades: S.R.E headquarter - Neyx Throne Room

Neyx sat on his throne. He felt a headache. A vision was on the way. Neyx's eyes area began glowing. The Parity stopped their training and observed him.

Vision

Mentz were battling The Outlander and June Helix. He were able to manage. But snapped June's neck. He decided to focus on the Outlander and let his guard down. June rise and stabbed him in the back, bringing him to his knees. He lost his grip on his lightsabers. June lifted her lightsaber ready to behead him with a furious look on her face.

Palades: S.R.E headquarter - Neyx Throne Room

Neyx vision ended and he instinctively called out: "June!"

One of the Parity Crusaders asked surprised: "What is wrong Master?"

Neyx regained his composition and answered: "I've got vision."

As Neyx contemplated the prospect of leaving Palades undefended. Jace returned with his troops.

Jace bowed and said: "We have returned Leader Neyx."

Neyx were satisfied and answered: "Perfect timing. I will take the StarFighter out. You are in command until I return."

Jace asked curiously: "Where are you going?"

Neyx answered calmly: "Recruiting a powerful ally."

Jace said: "May the Force be with you Sovereign."

Jace and all his soldiers saluted, the same with the Parity Crusaders.

Neyx answered: "Thank you. I'll be back shortly."

Neyx left.

Neutral Hegemony Flagship: Bridge

The Outlander were aboard the Neutral Hegemony flagship. They viewed the situation via holo. June had taken rocket launchers and blasted GenoHaradan's base and vehicles. They ran away screaming.

The Outlander asked: "She does quite a bit of damage. I don't feel sorry for them, but isn't this a bit overkill?"

Jaesa answered: "June Helix is a name many people are aware. But crossing her is a few who dare."

Theron said: "I have heard rumors she fought in swamps and outposts against the Zakuul Knights during Arcann's invasion."

Arcann answered: "I remember. Many Zakuul Knights fell before her power."

Senya also added: "I have also heard about her. Although she does not possess the Force, she is quite deadly."

Nadia replied: "But there aren't many good rumors about her. Among rebel fighters she is also known as *The Insane Rebel.*

Sana-Rae also applied to the discussion: "I have heard she goes under another moniker. *The Force Hunter.*

Everyone were surprised by that name.

Jaesa said: "We found her trapped on a planet by the GenoHaradan."

The Outlander said: "I am quite curious about her. I hope she will become a part of the Alliance, although I can imagine Lana not agreeing with me on this one."

The mood became more cheerful.

Janna Orbit

In orbit the Neutral Hegemony slowly left the world. But suddenly the Tomb Raider appeared out of nowhere and rammed directly into the flagship.

Neutral Hegemony Flagship: Bridge

Ship began shaking.

Nadia asked: "What is happening? What is the situation?"

A crew member answered: "A ship on the same size of the Gravestone appeared and launched into us!"

The Outlander said: "It is an enemy! Tell everyone to prepare for combat!"

Neutral Hegemony Flagship: Docking Bay

Mentz stepped out of his starship and were met with blaster fire. He ignited his two lightsabers and send the blaster shots back killing a few soldiers. He Force Pushed with one hand sending ten to forty soldiers flying into the wall knocking them out.

Neutral Hegemony Flagship: Hallway

As Mentz stepped into a hallway he were met with a mix of Sith, Jedi and Voss. They had all ignited their lightsabers.

Mentz commented: "That was fast. I was ordered to measure the Alliance average Force capabilities. Show me what you can do!"

They yelled: "For The Alliance!"

They all charged toward Mentz who ready himself.

Odessen Base: Meeting room

Jackal had successfully manage to infiltrate Odessen. He walked around and observed. Jackal sensed someone looking at him. He turned around and saw Vette.

Vette commented: "I don't remember seeing you before."

Jackal answered a bit nervous: " I am with the supply convoy! They can vouch for me!"

Vette were at ease and said: "Relax! I am not interrogating you."

Jackal said: "I heard what happened here. I am sorry for the loss."

Vette answered: "It is okay. We will recover. Hopefully."

Jackal saw an opportunity and asked: "Do you perhaps know where I can find the members on this list?"

Vette took a look and answered: "Yes they are all here on Odessen."

Jackal continued: "Perfect! I have some deliveries for them. Can you point me to where they are?"

Vette began speaking. Jackal only barely manage to contain his menacing aura as he felt satisfied by every word coming of out Vette's mouth.

Neutral Hegemony Flagship: Bridge

The door to the bridge opened. But no one came out. The Outlander, Sana-Rae, Jaesa, Nadia and other Alliance members approached. Three corpses were thrown through the door. A Voss, Jedi and Sith lying dead with a lightsaber hole through their body. Inside stepped Mentz wearing the Parity Crusaders armor and mask.

Sana-Rae asked: "What have you done to my students?"

Mentz answered: "They are dead. Though they were superior in numbers, they were weak."

The Outlander, Jaesa and Nadia draw their lightsabers. The rest of the Alliance members also stood ready. Mentz remembered his orders.

He asked: "Do you want to avenge your students?"

Sana-Rae answered: "Revenge isn't the way of Voss."

Mentz said and asked: "Tell that to the Gormak. Since you called them students. Then are you their Master?"

Sana-Rae answered: "Indeed and I have failed them."

Mentz said: "Then let us do it more honorably. I challenge you to a duel!"

Sana-Rae looked at the Commander and said: "Please let me do this."

The Outlander were about to protest. But he sensed a lot of sadness and regret in Sana-Rae. So he turned off his lightsaber. He stepped back. Nadia and Jaesa reluctantly followed. Sana-Rae ignited her lightsaber and she and Mentz engaged in a duel. Mentz hits were powerful. His style were also mixed and quite unpredictable. He continued pushing her, hammering his lightsabers at Sana-Rae's own.

Theron whispered to the Outlander: "This isn't good. I am no expert but even I can see where this is going."

Koth asked: "Should we interfere?"

Senya answered: "This is a duel between warriors. We can only watch."

The Outlander clenched his fists, as he and they others were forced to watch their friend fighting an disadvantageous battle. Mentz's attacks continued. Sana-Rae's movements became slower and slower as did her stamina. Sana-Rae used Force lightning on Mentz. But to her shock the lightning did not have any effect. He didn't block or try to repel it.

Mentz said: "How disappointing. It was the same with your students. After being shaken a bit they resorted to the Force."

Sana-Rae asked: "Who are you? Where did you acquire that kind of power?!"

Mentz moved forward still being hit by the lightning. He punched Sana-Rae in face forcing her down. She were tired and on her knees.

Sana-Rae said: "I have failed you my students."

Mentz lifted his lightsaber.

The Alliance all called out: "Stop! Don't!"

But Mentz with a strike in the back ended Sana-Rae's life. Mentz turned around, turned off his lightsabers and were about to leave, when he herd multiple lightsabers ignited behind him.

Arcann asked: "Do you really believe for a moment, that we are gonna let you leave after killing one of our friends?"

Mentz answered: "I guess not. Then ready yourself."

Mentz ignited his lightsabers and said: "Too much darkness will block my light, too much light will block my darkness. I am balance. Chaos and harmony is my path. My light and darkness will sing on the battlefield. Power is hope and power is despair. Death will come for us all. The Force is... me!"

Mentz Force power began increasing. He fired an immensely powerful energy wave sending non-force users flying back. Arcann, Senya, Nadia and Jaesa were forced to their knees. The Outlander also felt an enormous pressure.

Vaylin appeared and said: "Damn it! His power is strong! I guess I will assist you again."

Vaylin concentrated and raised her power. She transferred some energy to the Outlander.

She asked: "What do you intend to use it for?"

The Outlander looked around and he saw his allies suffer, but he also saw Mentz was wide open.

Vaylin continued: "if you choose to attack Mentz he will be vulnerable. An opportunity to end him will be in the second strike. But your allies will suffer quite the mental damage for it."

The Outlander could hear his allies scream. He decided: My Allies are more important(light)/Strike the Enemy(Dark)

The Outlander said: "I will free my allies."

Vaylin scoffed and said: "Suit yourself."

She disappeared. The Outlander focused all his energy and released in on the ground. Sending a wave pushing back Mentz. The Outlander broke his technique sparing his allies from the strain. Mentz rise up. The Outlander did the same. The two ran forward and engaged in lightsaber combat. Mentz power had not decreased. He slowly overtook the Outlander regarding technique. The Outlander activated his golden aura and began forcing Mentz back. Mentz threw both his lightsabers toward the Outlander. He used the force and shaped the lights into a raging golden dragon, which he send at the Outlander who poured all his aura into his lightsaber, attempting to block the attack. The Outlander's hands were sealed as Mentz increased the pressure.

The Outlander asked while struggling: "Argh! What kind of power is this?!"

Mentz answered: "If you are struggling with this, then you have no hope in defeating Master Neyx!"

The pressure forced the Outlander to his knees.

The Outlander cried: "Argh!"

But arriving from the door came in June. She leapt forward, landed, spin and kicked Mentz on the right side, sending him flying into the wall. He lost control of his merged lightsaber and the dragon dispersed. The Outlander rise. Mentz lost his cool upon being surprised. He used the Force to retake his lightsabers. He ran forward and engaged June in a duel. Their lightsabers clashed.

Mentz quickly realized and commented: "You don't have the Force? Then this will be simple!"

Mentz used Force Choke and broke June's neck. She fell lifeless to the ground in an instant. Mentz began approaching the Outlander who were quite tired. But before he realized it. A lightsaber had been pierced through his stomach. He turned around in shock as he fell to his knees. He looked up only to see June with a dark expression on her face.

June lifted her lightsaber ready to strike him down.

She stared toward the Outlander and his comrades and asked: "I know you generally follow the Jedi philosophy. But I kinda need to end his life if that is okay?"

The Outlander answered: "I don't intend to stop you."

Suddenly a lot of Alliance troops ran through the door. They were armed and pointed their weapons at the Outlander and his comrades.

The Outlander asked: "What is going on?"

Jaesa said: "I sense some kind of disturbance in the Force."

Arcann asked tiredly: "Mind control?"

Nadia asked and said: "How is that possible?! There are so many!"

Casually Neyx stepped in.

He said: "Hello Outlander and Alliance members."

The Outlander commented: "Neyx."

June didn't flinch. She still pointed her lightsaber at Mentz.

Mentz clutched his stomach and said: "Master Neyx! Forgive me!"

June stared at Neyx and said: "I am gonna end him! Just try and stop me!"

Neyx didn't draw her lightsaber and instead said: "The sun rises above the horizon, the child walks seeking salvation, the mother's embracement gives the child hope, as a smile of joy forms across her tired face."

Theron commented: "What was that a poem?"

The Outlander notice a reaction from June. She turned off her lightsaber.

June said: "I am sorry Outlander. Your offer really was amazing. But circumstances have changed. I know the face behind this mask. So I am sorry."

June also glanced at Nadia and Jaesa and said: "It was fun old ladies. Sorry to spoil it."

June stepped over to Neyx. He put a hand on her left cheek.

Neyx said: "We can celebrate our reunion afterwards. Return to your ship and move. The coordinates have already been placed."

June did as asked. Neyx moved her hand and a dark aura surrounded Mentz's body. His wound had been partially healed.

Neyx stared at Mentz and said: "We will discuss this when I get back. Now move!"

Mentz saluted and ran back.

Neyx stared at the Alliance and asked: "I prefer our first meeting won't be an ugly one. What do you say?"

The Outlander answered: "Your subordinate killed our allies. Are you expecting me to just forget it?"

Neyx said: "When this war seriously starts. I will probably also lose many allies. "

Theron asked: "Were you the one who corrupted Lenra, Deda and Nunis?"

Neyx answered: "I simply showed them a vision. I neither controlled nor forced them to act as they did."

Arcann said: "You have us all in your grasp. Why don't you simply kill us?"

Neyx answered: "Because I need you guys to remove all the third parties. Before this war can continue as it should be."

The Outlander asked: "Why do you want to destroy the Alliance?"

Neyx answered: "Because possessing the throne won't let you pacify people. It also makes you weak."

Neyx turned around and before leaving he said: "You should have destroyed the throne the moment you sat on it."

The Outlander and everyone gathered together. The sound of three starships leaving were heard.

The Outlander asked: "Everyone alright?"

Jaesa answered: "Physically we survive."

Nadia said: "Can't say the same regarding our pride."

Arcann commented: "That person whoever it is possessed power even beyond Vaylin!"

Vaylin appeared and said: "Hate to admit. But he is right."

Theron asked: "What is the plan now?"

The Outlander answered: "Let us return to Odessen. We fulfilled our objective and rescued our friends. We also gain another Alliance today."

Nadia and Jaesa looked overjoyed.

Jaesa said and bowed: "It will be an honor to fight by your side Commander."

The Outlander answered: "The honor is mine."

Vaylin had a nervous expression on her face as she remembered Neyx.

Black StarFighter: Bridge

Neyx hugged June who returned the affection.

Neyx said: "I have missed you."

June answered: "Me too. It's been such a long time."

The two split.

June said: "You probably have your reasons for wearing that mask. But may I see your face before you become my Commander?"

Neyx answered: "Sure. But remember you will always be someone who I love. That won't change."

June smiled. Neyx took off his mask slowly.(Face not seen yet)

Odessen Base: Meeting Room

Chaos and panic were spreading across Odessen. Reports were coming in.

Imperial reported: "Miss Beniko! Xalek has been found dead!

Republic reported: The same with Broonmark!

Bey'van also came in and reported: "Skadge and also Ak'ghal Usar

Lana said: "This is a mess! We have been infiltrated! Prevent anyone from leaving!

Vette finally remembered: "Lana! I remember! A guy from the supply convoy asked for all those members locations!"

Lana asked: "Who? What did he look like?!"

Vette answered: "Average height, male, dark hair, dressed like a outpost fighter and... he is right there!"

Vette saw the man boarding the convoy.

Lana said: "Stop that supply ship!"

But it was too late. Jackal used his Force power and threw the starship far in the air, before activating the hyperdrive and disappeared.

Lana slammed her hands on the communication relay and yelled: "Damn it! They got us again!"

Palades: S.R.E headquarter - Neyx Throne Room

Neyx stepped into his throne room. He was accompanied by Mentz, June and her two droid companions.

Upon return everyone in the throne room bowed and said: "Welcome back Sovereign Ruler Neyx!"

Neyx answered: "Thank you my loyal retainers."

Neyx approached the throne and sat down. June and her droids went down on their knees.

June commented: "You have certainly come a long way. The leader of The Republic and Empire. I never imagine."

Neyx said: "I am also impressed with your skills, managing to survive through all this war."

Neyx quickly rise. He signaled for Mentz and June to rise. He went over to the Parity Crusaders who waited.

Neyx said: "I have returned. I will teach you all the things you yet possess. Renew your vow and recite the code. Then we will begin."

All Parity Crusaders: "We hereby swear loyalty to the Sovereign Republic Empire! Too much darkness will block my light, too much light will blind my darkness. I am Balance. Chaos and Harmony is my path. My light and darkness will sing as I march on the battlefield. Death will come for us all. The Force is... me!"

Every Parity Crusader activated their aura.

Neyx said: "Excellent."

Odessen Base: Meeting Room

On Odessen The Outlander had returned with The Neutral Hegemony. The whole planet was filled with people. Everyone saw the Outlander standing face to face with Nadia.

The Outlander said: "I appreciate everything which you have done. I also owe you and your Neutral Hegemony a lot miss Nadia."

Nadia answered: "I appreciate it Commander. The Alliance's work have helped many. We all wish to be a part of it. Fighting in order to protect all lives. No matter gender or race.

The Outlander asked: "Let us all stand together, as one."

Nadia answered: "For the Eternal Alliance."

The Outlander said: "For everyone who lost their lives."

The two shake hands as the whole Odessen celebrated and mourned the ones who died.

Palades: S.R.E headquarter - Neyx's private Chamber

Neyx stood in a dark room. Six holocommunicators were placed on individual tables. Four were tagged: *Chiss Ascendancy*, *GenoHaradan*, *Tion Hegemony*, *Scepter Six*

Neyx looked at them and said: "I hope the time won't come, where I will have to call holo five or six."

The Chiss Ascendancy and GenoHaradan began ringing. As Neyx hands slowly moved toward them.

Scepter Six Orbit:

A Shuttle existed hyperspace.

Palades Shuttle: Bridge

June and her two droid companions White and Black stood by her side.

Black asked: "Master we have arrived."

June answered: "Good. Just in case prepare for hostilities."

White said: "It is a huge honor to be handpicked for this mission Master."

June answered: "Neyx is as clever as always. He intend to use my power to it's full potential."

June's eyes begin glowing white.

Three Months later...

Palades: S.R.E headquarter - Neyx Throne Room

Satele and Acina walked into Neyx's throne room. They were wearing black and light clothing with masks covering their faces. Accompanied by them were another person whose golden eye glowed powerfully. When they reach the throne they all went down on their knees.

Satele said: "Training complete Leader Neyx. High Minister Satele Shan reporting back."

Acina said: "Training also finished Leader Neyx. High Minister Acina Hafur also reporting back."

The cloaked individual pulled down her hoodie, revealing a face similar to Lana Beniko though a bit aged: "Shana Beniko reporting back my Master."

Neyx rise up and said: "Excellent. Welcome back my High Ministers and apprentice. Let me see your faces."

Satele and Acina took off their masks revealing the one golden eye and the original eye without corruption.

Neyx said: "Rise my new Supreme Commander and High Ministers. Present yourselves before your people."

Neyx signaled for Shana to go over to Jace.

Satele and Acina rise up. They used their powers and a golden light and golden darkness merged together.

The Parity Crusaders went down on their knees.

Parity Crusader said: "Hail the High Ministers and new Supreme commander!"

All the Parity Crusaders and Sovereign Troops outside also cheered.

Shana and Jace stared at each other and shook hands.

Shana said: "I will be working together with you today Supreme Commander Jace Malcom."

Jace answered: "I am looking forward to see your skills in action Supreme Commander Shana Beniko."

End
