Chapter 7: Imperial Face-off
*Back in the woods in the East*
A few Stormtroopers where scouting the woods, looking for possible intelligent life or anything interesting to report on. Then one of the Stormtroopers said "Hey you heard about those VT-15's being phased out?" Then another Stormtroopers says "Oh really? Why?"
"Well I heard that the VT-15's are being 'too obsolete' and that they're being replaced by the new VT-16's." Another Stormtroopers joins in the conversation and says "Yeah, some of the other guys are telling me all about it. It's starting to become a hot topic right now." "Well I'm going to miss those VT-15's. Time sure goes fast, huh."
As the Stormtroopers were conversing, Seryu pops out of the bushes, startling the troopers. As she walks towards them, one of the troopers say "Halt!" as he point his blaster at her. Then another trooper says "Hey stop right there! Identify yourself!" Seryu then waves her hand as a form of greeting, then says "Greetings foreigners to our humble Empire!"
Many of the Stormtroopers looks at each other then asks her "Empire?" She then says "That's right! You're trespassing our Imperial grounds." Then, a cute looking puppy-like creature walks next to her then says "Now die."
The little creature then cartoonishly opened it's mouth so wide, it's mouth was bigger than it's little body. Seryu then says "Koro, Number Seven." she then says as she reaches her arm out. The huge monster then bites her prosthetic arm with it's huge razor sharp fangs. I then removes it's mouth from her arm, revealing that she's now equipped a large green cannon.
She then directs her giant cannon at the troopers then says "Taizan's Cannon of JUSTICE!"
She then fires at the troopers, killing them instantly. The other troopers sees this then says "Call for reinforcments!"
Wave and Kurome then charges out of the bushes. Kurome kills the two closes Stormtroopers then swings her sword, "Come play alongside me, my puppets." she says and smiles.
Kurome then summons her puppets. A few individuals then appear out of nowhere, a young blonde woman with green eyes and wields dual pistols, a black cloaked phantom-like figure with a red head, a tall muscular man with red hair and wields a long, thick whip and a giant gorilla like man.
They then charged towards the Stormtroopers. Doya started shooting down the troopers with her dual pistols, Rokugou uses his whip to lash out the other troopers, Henter then twist and twirls around the enemy fire, and then the Apeman simply crushes the Stormtroopers with it's super-strength.
As the Stormtroopers keep standing their guard against the three Jaegers, two AT-ST's comes into the scene to aid the Stormtroopers.
The AT-ST's then starts shooting down the three attackers and they then started running for cover while Kurome's puppets deal with them the best they can. Doya unfortunately did not last long as she was blasted down by one of the AT-ST's. The other remaining three kept fighting the troopers down. Seryu then summoned Koro, "Koro! Number Two!" she says as Koro widened it's large mouth with razor sharp fangs, bites her arm and let's go, revealing a new weapon that has four missile turrets.
Seryu then fires at one of the AT-ST's, damaging it severely, but yet it still manages to stand.
The reinforcements then arrive in the form of Imperial transport ships, releasing tons of Stormtroopers along with one peculiar individual. This individual was wearing dark gray and black armor, with the Galactic Empire insignia at both sides at both sides of the shoulder armor, wears a mask, and had a slender build. The figure then commanded the troops to push forward and aid the other Stormtroopers.
The Apeman sees this mysterious figure and immediately rushes towards the enemy. The figure then pulls out a circular object that seems to be in the form of a hilt, and as it activates, protrudes to red glowing blades at each end. The figure then reaches it's arm out at the trees then using the Force, levitates the tree then smashes the Apeman with it.
The enemy commander now has the attention of the three Jaeger members, then approaches them. "Greetings." the figure says, "I am the Second Brother of the Inquisitorius." The figure then activates the lightsaber again, which makes a rotary motion with the two lightsaber blades as they spin around the circular hilt.
"Now it's time for you to die."
*Unknown location*
As Esdeath follows the two strange flying crafts, she then sees them land on a platform in the snowy fields at the far off distance. She then dismounts her horse as she kneels down behing the bushes and watches.
As they land on the platform, four more flying crafts then flies towards their location and lands down with them. Esdeath then watches and observes with great fascination from the far distance.
*Unknown platform*
As they landed, one of the pilots walks out of the TIE Fighter and walks towards the TIE Advanced. There, Darth Vader emerges from his TIE Advanced and walks towards the pilot. "Lord Vader!" Vader then says "Report."
"We scouted the area sir, the native kingdom of this planet is a few miles ahead."
Vader responds "Then we shall send half of the fleet into the planets atmosphere so we can begin the invasion.
Vader then senses an individual nearby then looks over to their direction.
"What is it sir?" the pilot asks.
"We have an unwelcomed guest." Vader then says as he walks towards the individuals location.
*Esdeath's location*
As she was hiding and observing from afar, she notices a black figure walking towards her location.
Esdeath smiles then says "Looks like they saw me. Then it looks like I should represent myself.
*Darth Vader's POV*
As Vader walks towards the stranger, the stranger then walks out of the bushes and walks towards him. Vader wasn't even fazed by the slightest and continues walking towards the individual.
The person in question was a female. She was wearing a white uniform and hat, signifying that she is part of some sort of military force in this planet. She very long blue hair and eyes, and on her chest that revealed her cleavage, was a symbol of sorts that Vader could not identify based on his knowledge.
Vader also noticed something peculiar about her as he continues to walk towards her.
She was smiling.
*Esdeath's POV*
As she walks closer towards the black figure, she could now see him clearly.
The tall black figure was wearing all black armor, save for the strange device on his chest with strange buttons and the gray and black striped armor that spread across his collar bone area. He wore a long black cape, but what interested her the most was his helmet.
His helmet had black emotionless robotic eyes that would send chills to weak willed individuals.
And as she approached closer, she could distinctively hear a strange breathing sound that the figure was emitting.
She then smiles and says to herself "Now this should be very interesting."
*At the Executor*
As the Admiral walks around the deck of the bridge, one of the operators says "Sir! We have been contacted from an upcoming Imperial fleet that are coming this way."
The Admiral then looks at him then asks "What? On whose orders? I did not remember calling and aid from other fleets."
"They said it's from the Emperor's behalf sir." Then one of the operators says "Sir, the incoming Imperial fleet is now contacting us."
"Patch them through." the Admiral then says.
Then, a voice can be heard from the contact, a calm yet eerie and menacing voice.
"This is Admiral Piett of Lord Vader's flagship, the Executor. To whom am I contacting to?"
The person on the other end of the line answers "Greetings Admiral. I have come here along with my armada on the Emperor's behalf to aid you in your conquest of this hostile planet."
Then from the view of the window of the deck, a large fleet of Star Destroyers appear out of hyperspace.
The Admiral of the other fleet then says "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Grand Admiral Thrawn, at your service."
