cChapter 1: The Clone Army introduced!
Hogwarts School Ground, Black Lake
The first years were coming to Hogwarts across the lake and on one of the boats was Harry Potter. After meeting with Hagrid and going through Diagon Alley, Harry finally arrived at Hogwarts.
Hogwarts Great Hall
The first years were selected into their houses. Harry went into Gryffindor, the same house as his first friend Ron Weasley and sat down beside him. Everyone sat down until Dumbledore stood up to give an announcement.
"Students of Hogwarts! I must ask you all to link your arms to one another for a magical oath before we continue this evening. What must be revealed will be subjected under secrecy even from the Ministry of Magic. Now, link" said Dumbledore as he took out his wand.
The students looked at each other curiously and did so. When they did, a orange-yellow line began to stream across the link of arms that extended all the way towards the teachers. All of the teachers except Professor Quirrel, who for some reason was not able to attend the feast, were part of the link. Dumbledore then spoke in a loud voice an oath to the students and the teachers.
"You must vow never to reveal the existence of Hogwarts' Defence Army to the Ministry of Magic. Any attempts to do so, shall risk being hunted down by the Commandos and taken to a high level security cell. This is dictated by myself, the acting Supreme Commander and the Prime Minister of Kamino. Unlink" said Dumbledore.
Everyone soon unlinked and was left with a tingling feeling in their arms. Just as everyone unlinked each other's arms, the door to the Great Hall opened and revealed a row of clone troopers armed with DC-15As. The clones had Phase I clone armour and their armour was adorned with red painting. The commander at the front, had the symbol of Hogwarts painted on his armour chest and a red shade over his visor. He signalled the clones to go along the walls of the hall, surrounding the students and the teachers. The Commander went up to Dumbledore and saluted him. Dumbledore nodded back and allowed the Commander to stand in front of the whole school.
The Commander stood proud and held his hands behind his back. "Students of Hogwarts! I am Commander Fox of the Hogwart Guards! It is our duty to guard the sacred grounds of the school and the people that resides in it. I must inform you that you have no ability to command us. We will treat all of the students equally. If any of you order my troops, we have the authority to take you to the cooler, where you will remain there until your head of house says so. If any of you are caught in the middle of the night, it will be the cooler again! In fact, break any rules set forth by the school shall result in your arrest. Thank you for your patience and good day to you all"
Fox walked down towards the door and as he did so, he nodded towards Harry. Harry got up and walked towards the door, gathering many students' attention to him. As he walked out of the door, Fox closed it and said to him, "Come with me, sir."
Harry did as he was told and walked through the grounds and towards the lake again. He noticed a white platform that stretched towards the middle of the lake of what looked like an elevator. Fox walked on the platform along with Harry and went inside the elevator. The elevator went down and the door opened to a bright clear corridor. Harry stepped out first and took in his new surroundings. Then, he saw a tall Kaminoan heading towards him. The Kaminoan had a braid like band around its head and a long blue skirt.
"I am very pleased to meet you. My name is Taun We. We have been expecting you." Said the Kaminoan named Taun We in a silky voice.
"You have been?" asked Harry, shocked that there was an alien speaking to him in English and not in some alien language.
"Yes, we most certainly have been. After all, you are the Supreme Commander of Hogwarts Defence Army." Taun We said and walked towards a set of doors.
Harry looked shock and followed Taun We with his mouth opened. Fox followed after him. Harry went through the door and found two other people. One was another Kaminoan and another wore a silver with blue linings T visor helmet with dark blue suit and a silver armour.
"May I present our Prime Minister of New Kamino, Lama Su and a friend of your parents, Jango Fett." Announced Taun We as she showed them to Harry
"ummm, pleased to meet you!" Harry said as he bowed in respect.
"A well-mannered boy. You and I are going to work well together" said Lama Su as he sat down.
At this point, Jango took his helmet off and walked up to Harry. "Hello, Harry. It's good to finally meet you. I haven't seen you since when you were a baby."
"You knew my parents?" asked Harry
"I knew your parents before you were born, Harry. It's a shame they weren't able to see the young man you grew up to be now. Please sit. We have a lot to talk about" said Jango as he too sat down on a spoon like chair.
Harry sat down and said, "I thought you were the Supreme Commander. Aren't you?"
Jango laughed and replied, "Well, acting Supreme Commander. I held the position for you AND I'm the primary template for all the Clones here. Even Fox behind you."
Harry looked behind him and saw the cloned face of Jango Fett. He was too shocked to make a reply but he did so. "So that means I command the clones?"
"Not fully. Not yet. You are too young to hold the position fully. However, you can give commands to the Hogwarts Guards, the 501st Legion and the 212th Attack Battalion. Those are yours and yours to use. Just don't get too cocky. Fox, have the commanding officers of the 212th and the 501st come in here." Said Jango as he directed last comment to Fox.
Fox spoke quietly on his intercom while Jango continued. "There are strange things happening, Harry. Watch out for any dangers in school. There will be dangers. We have intelligence that there is a follower of Voldemort inside the school but we don't know who. My guess…it's one of the teachers. But don't go shooting accusations without evidence. For now, stay low and work with Commander Fox. Oh and pick your friends wisely. I saw that you have made a few enemies as well. But that would be the least of your worries. Just enjoy the school alright? Anything to add, Lama Su?"
"Yes, there are 2,000 clones soon to be included under your command. With another 20,000 well on the way." Reported Lama Su as he crossed his hands together.
"That's good, I guess" replied Harry as he drank this in. At that point, two clones came in. One had a blue kama and a blue decorations on his T-Visor helmet. His name was Captain Rex. The other had a left orange shoulder guard with an antenna sticking out. He had a white helmet but had a visor guard that was coloured in orange. His name was Commander Cody.
"Sirs, we are here as requested. Who's the young lad?" asked Rex as he turned towards Harry.
"Boys this is your new General. He will lead the Open Circle division along with the Hogwarts Guard" said Jango.
"But sir, I thought you said he wasn't ready?" asked Cody as he took his helmet off.
"He isn't but you guys can show him the ropes. Escort him back to the castle but take a few men of yours as well. He might want to get acquainted with his division troops." Ordered Jango as he sat back down.
Cody and Rex saluted and beckoned Harry to come. Jango looked on as he turned to Lama Su and said, "He will be ready soon. Just hope that Neyo's spies have located the mole inside the castle. It's bad enough that we have to protect Harry and to protect the stone at the same time."
"One can hope for the best, Jango. I remember the day that we left Kamino to help with your mission. It's a good thing the Republic can't reach this planet. You faking your death with a substitute clone that we trained, has made a significant impact on the Republican forces." Said Lama Su as he drank from his cup
"I care not for the Republic's ailing. We need to focus on Harry and his future. Voldemort is still out there. While he is out there, Harry will be in constant danger. We must keep training the troops and increase our armaments. Speaking of armour, how's the Phase II armour going?" asked Jango
"We are having a trial period in which, ARC troopers and Commandos would take upon the armour. I think it is going to be a success." Replied Lama Su. "After the trial period is over, we will start mass production."
Jango nodded at this and stood up, "Good. I'm going to Dumbledore and organise security around the castle. If my suspicion and intel on this Professor Quirrel is right, we might have to keep all trooper out of sight. We can't risk leakage to Voldemort or his allies for that matter."
Lama Su nodded at this and walked out of the door with two Kamino Security force guards flanking him on both side. Jango looked at his helmet, alone in the room, and contemplated the future.
'Well James, Lily. It's time to repay my debt to you. I will protect your boy from any danger. I swear upon my honour to do so.'
That's it folks! The update you have been waiting for. Saw The Force Awakens and it was good! Motivated me to keep writing this story and as for the Star Wars AU Series, The Empire Strikes Back is undergoing some editing and story checking but do not worry, it is not dead! Furthermore, I am now currently writing a bit of a prequel to A New Hope. This takes place in Star Wars Rebels. Based on 'The Lost Commanders', the Lothal rebels encounter a group of Jedi Guard led by Jedi Knight Katooni. That's all I am giving for now! See you soon and don't forget to leave a review so that I know what to improve on and what you would like to see in the two series I am making.
