Chapter 42: Through My Own Eyes

Bialya July 3rd 2335 hours UTC

"'We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.'" A man read in the dark while Professor Ivo worked in the background behind him.

"The Declaration of Independence's last paragraph, written by Thomas Jefferson." Ivo stated, continuing to work on his new androids for Sylas. The man hidden in the shadows, wearing a British military coat and a saber at the side, sighed at this and got up from his seat. He then turned his head and scoffed before asking Ivo, "And your take on the whole matter is?"

"I am strictly a Slavic, therefore, I have no take on what happened back a century and a half ago." Ivo remarked. The man once again scoffed and tossed up the piece of the Declaration of Independence into the air, unsheathing his Royal Navy sword and slicing up the copy of the paper, letting all the shreds fall to the ground. "Did you ever know that this 'Declaration' was nothing but a tissue of lies?" the man asked in his British Accent, turning around and smirking, finishing up his sentence with "Sylas?"

Sylas chuckled as he stepped out of the shadows with his daughter, Xion, at his right side and Syrena at his left. "Well, then, I suppose that you would do anything to exact vengeance on America in your personal vendetta, even if it means going to extremes." Sylas stated. The Terror Titans then came out of their respective hiding places, smirking at the British Officer as he stepped out of the shadows. He then revealed to have red hair, glasses, and a British Navy hat on him. "Yes, as my ancestor, Benedict Arnold, once said, 'My honor is at stake, and in the matters of honor, I simply cannot compromise.'" Sylas smirked and nodded. "Mad Mod, welcome to the ORDER." He stated, shaking hands with the British Man.

South Joyce Street, Washington DC 1429 Hours UTC

Ahsoka, Lux, Serra, Saw, Jaybo and M'gann all rode down the street in Washington DC with the rest of the Team in the Martian Bioship, being piloted by Artemis. "So, let me get this all straight." Ahsoka called through her earcom to M'gann, a couple of feet behind her. "Two-Hundred thirty-four years ago, America as we know it gained its independence?" the Ex-Jedi asked in slight confusion. M'gann nodded and smiled. "It was also the day that Dick, Wally and Kaldur broke Superboy out of Project CADMUS and freed Superboy, and the day that the Team was formed." The Martian added on.

Robin chuckled from the Bioship and looked down to Ahsoka. "A lot happened on that very day that brought the Team together." He stated. Ahsoka just chuckled and rolled her eyes. "Well, as amazing as that all sounds, guys, I certainly can't use that in a speech when I present myself with Barack Obama and Edwin Alva at the Capitol Fourth Concert this evening." Ahsoka said. Lux sighed and rode up next to her. "I'm sure you'll come up with something." He said enthusiastically. Ahsoka smiled as they made their way at a turn on a street near the Arlington National Cemetery.

As they were passing by the sacred graveyard, something caught Ahsoka's eye. There, by a grave, were two familiar-looking blonde females. Could it be? Is it them? Ahsoka thought to herself as she watched them give their prayers at a tombstone. Wanting to know why the two girls were there, Ahsoka stopped and placed her hand to her forehead. "M'gann, something just came up. I'll catch up with you guys later." She called out telepathically. "Understood, Ahsoka, be back soon!" M'gann replied, taking off to the United States Capitol Building with the rest of the Team to attend the Concert later on.

Terra and Stargirl, two of the girls from the Outsiders, if I remember correctly. Ahsoka thought to herself as she walked slowly through the entrance of the Arlington Cemetery in her human disguise, Ashley Tanner, now approaching the two sad blondes carefully. The young Togrutan could clearly see a tear drop down from Courtney's face as Terra comforted her. Ahsoka stopped walking and looked down to the tombstone. "Pat Dugan", the plaque said. Ahsoka sighed and placed her right arm across her chest, clutching her left arm in sadness.

There was a long moment of silence before Terra looked up from Courtney and looked over to Ashley. "I know it's you, Ahsoka!" she called out. Courtney gasped and prepared to unsheathe her staff, but Ahsoka placed her arms up in surrender and shifted back into her normal skin. "I'm not here to fight." The Togrutan reasoned. Courtney sniffled back a tear and sheathed her staff. "Why are you even here?" Stargirl asked skeptically.

Ahsoka sighed and walked up to the two girls. "I just think that you're not all that bad, and that you should expiate for all that you've done by joining the Team." Ahsoka explained. She then looked down to the plaque and sighed. "I heard that Pad Dugan served in the Justice Society of America before passing away. I'm so sorry." Ahsoka stated sadly. Courtney sighed and nodded. "My stepfather wasn't like the ones in Fairy Tales, he was a great man. He was just killed by some insane Nationalist during Independence Day, 1986. People say that the murderer was British, and that his name was Mad Mod." Courtney explained.

Ahsoka gasped and looked down to the grave, thinking back to Jedi Master Ima-Gun-Di, a Jedi who died in honor in the field of battle. "For the Twi-leks, for the Republic!" she remembered the Jedi Master saying before his death. Even though she was never on Ryloth during his last stand, she had heard about what master Gun-Di had done for Ryloth during the time the Twi-leks were in need of supplies.

Ahsoka then placed her hand onto Courtney's shoulder, much to her surprise. "I know what it's like to be shunned away by everyone else, as well as lose a loved one who died in the line of duty." She stated. Terra gasped as Courtney gaped. "I'm so sorry, I had no idea!" the Star-Spangled Girl stated. Ahsoka sighed and shook her head. "No, no, it's quite alright." She started out.

Stargirl now felt bad for how she was acting, considering the fact that she had jumped the gun when she first met Ahsoka. Terra also shared the same feeling as she started to twirl around her foot, making a circle in the ground.

"I had a friend, Kalifa. She was a Jedi Youngling I met when I was captured by hunters." Ahsoka said, getting the two to listen. "We were all trying to survive, but when trying to save me, she was shot." Ahsoka added on, gaining some surprised reactions from the two Outsiders. "Still, she was left in peace, and because of her sacrifice, the Younglings and I were able to escape, with a little help from a friend." Ahsoka explained. Stargirl sighed and gave a slight smile to Ahsoka. "Anything else?" she asked.

"There was also a Jedi Master by the name of Ima-Gun-Di, serving on the Planet of Ryloth to help the Twi'lek aliens get their shipment of supplies from the Republic." Ahsoka added on, allowing the two Outsider girls to gain more insight about Ahsoka. "In the name of the Republic and the honor of the Jedi, he went down fighting until the Battle of Ryloth was won." Ahsoka finished up briefly.

Stargirl chuckled as she looked down to her stepfather's grave once again. "Pat always used to tell me, 'My dreams… their yours now. You'll be… my living legacy.'" She iterated. Ahsoka smiled as she and Terra walked towards Courtney. "You know what they say, Courtney," the Geokinetic started out. "Embrace your dreams, and, no matter what happens, protect your honor, as the final hope." Courtney finished up with a slight smile on her face. She then turned to Ahsoka, who smiled back, before they all got back to giving their best wished to Pat Dugan, aka STRIPE.

As this was going on, Mad Mod was hiding in the shadows, looking to the Team as they headed towards the United States Capitol Building. "Let the fireworks go off." He said to himself deadpan before looking to the side and nodding. With that, a spark started to ignite, and Mad Mod started to lead several other figures towards the United States Capitol Building.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Team had reached the Lincoln Memorial, where the Capitol Fourth Concert would take place. Aqualad led his faction of the Team out of the Bioship while M'gann and the rest of the Team removed their helmets and mounted off of their motorcycles. As soon as Lux removed his helmet, he looked around at all of Washington with much awe. "So, this is where the magic happens." He exclaimed. He then turned around and chuckled to Zatanna. "Present company excluded, of course." He added on, causing the mage to place a hand on her hip and shake her head.

"It's still hard to even believe a whole year has passed ever since the Team was formed." Zatanna stated as she smiled while looking out to where the Hall of Justice was. "And yet, no one even knows about the truth of that place yet." Rocket added on. M'gann shifted into her human skin and looked around and sighed. "This is the best way to celebrate America." She said to herself, looking down to Superboy and winking at him with a smile soon after, in which the Kryptonian returned the favor by smiling back to his girlfriend.

All of a sudden, a shot went off, catching everyone's attention, let them either be Team Members or nearby civilians. The Team looked around before Saw looked into the air. His eyes widened with shock as he knocked himself into Serra, sending them both to the ground. "Get down!" he yelled. Everyone else gasped as they all hit the deck, nearly dodging a missile that was sent their way.

At Arlington Cemetery, Ahsoka, Courtney and Terra all looked up to see an explosion go off. "What was that?" Terra asked. Ahsoka turned and saw some smoke emerging before both she and Courtney gasped. "Trouble!" they both yelled. Ahsoka looked to Stargirl and nodded. "If you want to start being a hero, you need to embrace your dreams." She started out. Stargirl nodded and slightly smiled. "After all, no matter what happens…" Courtney continued, unsheathing her Cosmic Staff and her body lighting up while Ahsoka started to activate her lightsabers. "Protect your honor…" Ahsoka went on, before everyone eventually yelled out, "AS THE FINAL HOPE!" With that, they all started to take off to the scene of the crisis.

Meanwhile, the Team was helping some civilians get to safety as they all looked onto the attackers. "Show yourselves!" Aqualad demanded as he aimed a Water-Bearer blade towards the smoke. Robin prepared a birdarang while Artemis and Saw started to load up with ammo. Wally and Jaybo prepared to attack as Serra and Batgirl got the last of the civilians to safety. All of a sudden, the Team started to hear some chuckling. Serra looked into the smoke and narrowed her eyes. "I should've known." She remarked, as she now knew who the assailants were.

Soon, Black Widow emerged, followed by Syrena, and then the Terror Titans. As soon as Jaybo helped Wally get the last of the civilians out of the area, all of the Team lined up in respective positions against their Terror Titan counterparts. Artemis looked to Alakshmi, holding a smirk on her face. "I'm surprised Sylas let you off of his leash after Ahsoka totally kicked your ass." She retorted. Syrena sighed and grinned. "Let's just say that I went to Hell and back following my hiatus on the battlefield." The Persian quipped.

Just then, the sound of clapping was heard. The Team looked to the side in confusion as Mad Mod came out, followed by twenty robots, all with apparel similar to British Redcoats. "Jolly grand to see you cohorts prepared for funerals." He spat. Robin narrowed his eyes dangerously and glared daggers at the British Villain. "Mad Mod!" he exclaimed. Mad Mod laughed and nodded. "Spot on, Dick! You'd make quite the Sherlock!" Mad Mod remarked. He then unsheathed his saber and aimed it to the sky, motioning for the robots to fire missiles into the air. "The American Revolution was a hoax, the Declaration of Independence is a tissue of lies. There is no George Washington, and there never was. Today marks the new age: the era of Britain's rule over you colonists!" Mad Mod announced.

"Not today, Mad Mod!" a voice suddenly called out. Everyone turned once again to see Ahsoka on her motorcycle, followed by Stargirl and Terra, flying through the air. Mad Mod growled and motioned his hand towards the Ex-Jedi, signaling for the Redcoat Robots to fire at her. However, Ahsoka jumped off of her bike, unsheathing her arm-mounted crossbow soon after and aiming it towards her bike, now skidding towards the bots. "Time for the Shot Heard Round The World." She quipped. With that, she fired at her vehicle, causing it to explode and take ten bots with it. The ORDER all covered themselves from the explosion as Ahsoka landed on the ground, the two Outsider girls standing beside her. The rest of the Team got alongside her as Mad Mod growled. "Is your allegiance to the Jedi that lost?!" he demanded. Ahsoka smirked and ran her finger along her lightsaber hilt before activating it. "I pledge my allegiance to the flag… of the United States of America, and to the Republic!" she exclaimed.

Black Widow gritted her teeth angrily and unsheathed both of her lightsaber hilts. "Terror Titans, ready…" she started out, everyone getting into a fighting stance while Ahsoka said, "Team, ready…" copying off of her ex-friend. "GO!" they both soon yelled out, starting to charge towards each other. Mad Mod unsheathed his saber once again and started to push each Team Member out of the way until he reached Stargirl. Ultraboy was about to join in, until Terra levitated a rock towards him, followed by Superboy leaping with her to attack soon after.

As Ahsoka ran to help Courtney against Mad Mod, Black Widow started to give chase. However, two batarangs were sent her way, throwing the Mirialan off. She looked to the side as Batgirl stood there, smirking. However, her pride soon wore off when Syrena started advancing towards her alongside Barriss. "This isn't good." Barbara told herself as she started to back away.

Meanwhile, Zatanna was fighting off against her evil twin, Xanadu, once again. "I've improved since the last time we met, X." Zatanna remarked, sending a blast towards Xanadu. The evil witch just smirked and placed out her gloved, right hand, grabbing Zatanna's spell and sending it aside. The mage gasped as Xanadu finally started to counterattack, removing her glove and revealing her new, prosthetic one. "What in the world have you done to yourself?!" Zatanna exclaimed. Xanadu only laughed as she unsheathed her wand, hidden within her metal arm. "You can thank your Jedi friend and that Bat Bitch for this!" she yelled, sending a charged spell towards Zatanna. The magician was initially caught off guard by this, and was about to attack until Xanadu's cold arm grabbed her wrist. Zatanna tried not to yell, but Xanadu was already putting her into a backhand lock.

Zatanna groaned in pain as Xanadu started to laugh insanely. "Is this the pain you felt before, Z?" Xanadu quipped, lifting up a dagger and preparing to kill Zatanna as she groaned in pain. Xanadu chuckled as she soon unsheathed a dagger. "Let me remind you… this time, you won't forget." Xanadu finished off, preparing to thrust her blade into Zatanna's head. "This so compensates for the loss of my control over you, the doll you destroyed!" Xanadu spat. Zatanna panted nervously as she looked up, seeing an insane look on Xanadu's face as she started to lower her dagger to Zatanna's head.

All of a sudden, the evil witch was Force-Pushed aside, much to both Zatanna and Xanadu's surprise. Zatanna groaned and looked to the side as Serra walked over, one of her lightsabers activated in her left hand. She sent another mighty Force-Push towards Xanadu before running to Zatanna's aid. "Are you alright?" the Female Jedi asked. Zatanna smiled and nodded. "I am, thanks." The mage replied as Serra helped her up to her feet. "That's two I owe you now." She snippily added on. Serra chuckled as she looked to Xanadu, now focusing on the battle once again. Zatanna turned around and looked to see Batgirl backing away towards them, Black Widow and Syrena giving chase. Terra then came from another side, being pursued by some Redcoat Soldiers. The four looked to each other and nodded. "Switch!" they all yelled, each pursuing a different enemy this time.

Zatanna ran over to Barriss and Alakshmi, performing flying kicks at the two of them before landing on the ground and aiming her wand. "Your move." She quipped. Black Widow growled with Syrena as they both charged up their blades. Zatanna, however, smirked, and started to twirl around her wand at the two female soldiers. "Etativel sdrows ot em!" she incanted, just as Black Widow and Syrena sent their own respective blasts towards her, causing a large explosion. Once the smoke cleared, Widow and Syrena both noticed that they were one sword short. Zatanna then snickered as she held one of Syrena's blade in her right hand and one of Barriss's in her left. "Bring it on!" she quipped, charging towards the two. The two soldiers stood in anger and surprise as the mage twirled around in the air and clashed with Black Widow and Syrena, the two female soldiers attacking from both sides of the mage.

Terra started to take on some more of the ORDER's Redcoat Robots. "Rock on!" she yelled, telekinetically levitating some stones towards them. Just then, Silver Martian leapt from behind to attack, much to Terra's surprise. Before the evil Martian could land a hit on the princess to Markovia, a green pterodactyl slammed into her before M'gann telekinetically slammed her into the ground. Terra stood aghast as Beast Boy leapt down and smiled to Terra. "Your welcome." He said kindly. Tara smiled and helped Garfield up to his feet. "You know, you're pretty sweet." She complimented. Garfield blushed in nervousness before he noticed another Redcoat with a bayonet, preparing to slash down on Terra. Quickly, he turned into a gorilla and slammed it before Terra took down another one that was about to attack Beast Boy. "You're awesome!" Beast Boy exclaimed. Just like before, Terra blushed. The two smiled at each other lovingly before she levitated the rock towards some more of the robots.

Zatanna twirled into the air, causing the two ORDER generals to gasp. "Prepare to be astounded!" Zatanna quipped, kicking away Syrena with her left foot and knocking her to tone of the pillars before she went off to fight against Black Widow. "This is for Ahsoka, traitor!" Zatanna yelled, trying to land her golden blade onto Barriss's neck. Offee only scoffed and blocked the blade before sending a web attack at the mage, sending her over the edge of the Capitol Fourth Concert Building. Alakshmi stood next to Widow soon after and prepared to shoot at Zatanna, but she just sent a spell underneath their feet from her eyes, causing the two older female soldiers to fall. Zatanna landed on her feet and attempted to stab Syrena while she was still on her back, but Alakshmi got out of the way as she let Black Widow attack. Zatanna saw this coming and activated her stolen lightsaber, blocking the red blade before she destroyed one of Syrena's shoulder plates and slicing Barriss's cape into tiny bits of shreds.

Meanwhile, Ahsoka was still helping Stargirl fight off against Mad Mod. He was a talented swordsman and fighter, but Ahsoka knew the ways of the Force while Courtney was driven with passion. "You really think you poppet girls can defeat me?" Mad Mod teased. Ahsoka scoffed and jumped into the air, slamming her blade onto the ground close in front of Mad Mod soon after. "If there's one thing we put our hearts into, it's standing up for what we believe in, and that means…" Ahsoka started out, sending a blast from her arm-mounted crossbow while talking, before Stargirl flew up and finished up with, "Protecting the honor of America."

Mad Mod growled and ran towards the two girls, both standing ready to fight off against the insane British Nationalist. Ahsoka clashed with him first, attacking in a frenzy of slashes before Courtney sent a blast of Cosmic Energy towards him. Mad Mod growled even more as he looked to the side. "Hail Britannia!" he yelled. With that, more soldiers came out from all over. Batgirl looked up from her fight with one of the soldiers as Terra slammed a rock on top of another. "Where does Ivo find the time to keep inventing new evil machines?!" Tara asked in disbelief. Both Ahsoka and Stargirl were caught off guard by the revelation of the foot soldiers and barely had enough time to focus back onto their battle with Mad Mod. Courtney turned around and gasped before aiming her staff at Ahsoka. "Get down!" she yelled, blasting the Togrutan out of the way. Ahsoka gasped as she watched Stargirl raise her staff, knocking away Mad Mod's sword, but not before he was able to land a hit on her right cheek.

Stargirl tried to fend off the rest of the attacks as best as she could, but with the increase in blaster fire and Mad Mod's sword skills, she was pushed to the ground soon after. Ahsoka once again gasped as Stargirl struggled to get up, with Mad Mod approaching her with his sword sadistically. "Don't bother getting up." He remarked. Ahsoka groaned as she used Force Meditation to try to heal herself and Stargirl. "You won't win!" Ahsoka yelled. Mad Mod only laughed as he lifted his sword into the air, preparing for the kill.

Just then, as Mad Mod was preparing for his kill, Ahsoka sensed something coming towards them. Quickly, she got aside as what appeared to be a shield flew by her. She then Force-Pushed Stargirl to the ground soon after, causing Mad Mod to turn in surprise as the shield hit him. As soon as the shield passed, Mad Mod prepared to attack again, only for a large, manta-shaped boomerang to hit him, as well as some of the other robots. The Team looked up in surprise as the boomerang was caught, revealing there to be a familiar figure. "Stingray!" Ahsoka yelled out in delight. Aqualad sent a warm smile as Steven sheathed his shield back onto his left arm. "Great to be here, guys!" he yelled. Ahsoka smiled at this.

At that moment, another young man appeared beside Stingray. By the looks of it, he was a Japanese boy. His hair was black with red streaks on his front bangs. He wore a crimson sweater with a green shirt underneath. He had a black belt with a silver buckle and denim jeans along with black combat boots. He wore a Marine Corp badge and as he caught the shield, he started to unsheathe a long, flame-colored sword in right hand with his shield in his right soon afterwards. He smirked as he looked down to the Team. "Looks like you guys could use a little help." He stated. Superboy threw off a robot as he looked over towards the Japanese soldier. "Who's that?" he asked. Stingray smiled and craned his neck over towards his new friend. "This is The Natural, one of my friends amongst the Marine Corps." Stingray explained, in which The Natural saluted before the two jumped down to the Team to help with the battle. "Come on, Ray, we'll win for America!" Stephen called out. Ray smiled and nodded. "Semper Fi, Stingray, Semper Fi!" he quipped, the two unsheathing swords and slashing down at the robots while Ahsoka looked on, very much impressed.

She then looked to Stargirl with a smile on her face. "Looks like there are more people loyal to America than I thought." She stated. Courtney smiled and nodded. "And it looks like we're not alone in this fight as well." She added on. Ahsoka smiled as they soon went back to battle Mad Mod, seeing the presence of General Wade Eiling and the army arrive. "Open fire!" Wade called out to his men, gaining a salute soon after before his soldiers started to shoot down upon the Redcoat Robots. Mad Mod gasped at the sight of this as Ahsoka smirked, placing a hand on her hip. "You see, Mad Mod, if everyone is truly faithful to what they believe in, then nothing will ever hold them back." Ahsoka stated, much to Mad Mod's anger.

At that moment, a young man, wearing a dark-blue and black Navy Uniform, jumped over the cannons and slashed down at two of the robots with what appeared to be a prosthetic right sword arm. "DeltaRay, reporting for duty!" he called out. With that, DeltaRay started to slash down at even more of the Redcoats alongside Serra, who smiled to him. "Great to have you on board!" she stated. DeltaRay nodded before the two jumped into the air and performers twin slashes at twelve Redcoat Droids. Wade Eiling smiled and saluted to his son. "Go get 'em, Baryl!" he yelled out. Baryl smiled and saluted back before the two swordsmen continued to fight the good fight, much to the surprise of Mad Mod and the rest of the ORDER.

Connor and Saw stood back to back, blasting and punching away at each of the robots while that was going on. Connor soon began to tire out, much to Saw's notice. "You need one?" Saw asked, handing out a blaster. Superboy chuckled and shook his head. "I prefer to pound them all one by one!" he quipped. "Then let us help with that!" a voice suddenly called out. Both teens looked back to see one teenage boy on a motorcycle, holding a broadsword, and another, flying through the air, and rush towards them. The rider had a black apparel, with some hints of grey. "Can't believe the party started without us, can you, Ky?" the boy asked. Ky chuckled and shook his head. "No, I did not. Now let's get going, Skye!" he exclaimed. With that, the two ran towards Connor and Saw.

"Great to meet you! The name's Blade Runner!" the rider with the sword stated before throwing his weapon into the air. Superboy then looked over to the one who was flying, now landed on the ground. "Your name?" Saw asked. The boy, dressed in a red shirt covered by a blue jacket and with denim jeans smirked. "Me? Call me Axel!" he exclaimed before spinning around his arms. In mere seconds, Axel held a sword made out of pure plasma, charging into the fray. "I like these guys already." Saw stated, in which Superboy nodded. Blade Runner let all the bullets headed his way hit him, but never reach him. He then extended his hand backwards and unveiled all of his blades, launching every part of his sword towards the Redcoats before grabbing the original hilt of his sword and fusing all the blades back together. He and Axel then ran alongside Gerrera and Superboy so that they could all attack together as one.

Meanwhile, Zatanna was still in her duel with Syrena and Barriss. "You'll pay for what you've done to Ahsoka!" the mage yelled out. Black Widow just growled and slashed at Zatanna, causing her to falter backwards and into Xanadu. The evil witch, who was engaged in battle against Serra, smirked at Zatanna, but the smirk soon wore off as Zatanna used Syrena's sword to stab her robotic arm. She then tossed that sword to Alakshmi herself, which went right through the Persian Soldier's leg. "Arē nahīṁ!" she cursed in Persian before falling onto her knee. Black Widow gasped and immediately spat a web at Zatanna, pinning her to the wall. "You'll pay for that!" she exclaimed. Just then, a large rock hit the zealous Mirialan Jedi, followed by a green tiger scratching her helmet off. Black Widow cursed to herself as she looked to see Terra and Beast Boy, both coming towards her on a levitating rock. Barriss panted in anger before walking away to tend to Alakshmi. "You've won the battle, kiddies, but this is no longer our fight, Ahsoka Tano!" she yelled out to everyone. With that, Alakshmi teleported herself and Barriss away.

Mad Mod took notice of this and gasped. Before he could say anything, the sound of a large resonating sound caught his attention. He turned to see Ahsoka, using her arm-mounted crossbow in its axe mode, swinging it at him. Mad Mod hardly had any time to react as it hit him before Stargirl flew forwards and finally did it. She used her Cosmic Staff to stab Mad Mod in the chest. "This is for Pat!" she yelled. Mad Mod stuttered before falling back, the staff retreating from his chest. "You, and all of America, have already lost." He stated weakly before falling to the ground, dead. Ahsoka narrowed her eyes at Mad Mod, wondering what he meant by this. Just then, both her and Courtney's eyes widened in shock. There, in Mad Mod's left hand, was a dead-man switch!

Everyone stopped fighting and looked around. "There's a residual energy residing from every robot!" Robin announced. Drol took a scanner and started to investigate all of the robots. "They're all programmed with nuclear bombs! If these babies were to all melt down at once, they would eradiate this state and the four next door!" he exclaimed. Serra ran up to one of the robots and tried to cut away at its exposed core, but after a couple of minutes, she grunted angrily and kicked at it before heading back to the others. "It's so inscrutable that not even a lightsaber can cut through it!" she remarked. "Ivo must have been doing his homework." Ray suggested.

"We'd have to get all the way to the far side of the Tamaran System to let it detonate, and we have no idea where Starfire or Kyle are!" Ahsoka exclaimed. "What are your ideas on this, Stargirl?" she then asked, looking to the side. Much to her surprise, the Star-Spangled kid was gone! "Where's Courtney?" Terra asked, holding Beast Boy in her arms. Just then, Superboy looked into the air and gasped. "Look!" he exclaimed, aiming his finger to the sky. Everyone soon gasped as Stargirl was taking the robots up by herself! "Courtney, stop!" Ahsoka called out. Courtney looked down and sighed. Since she was so far away, she just gave a sad smile, enough for everyone to make out. "This is for America." She stated. With that, she flew up all the way into space, starting to lose her breath as she passed a satellite. With her last breath, she used her Cosmic Energy to toss aside all the robots to the far side of the moon. After five minutes passed, she watched the robots explode before falling into unconsciousness and falling back dangerously to the Earth.

I'm finally at peace. Stargirl thought to herself as she reentered the atmosphere, her costume starting to burn away. Before she could die upon burning through the sky, she felt an invisible hand catch her. Slowly but carefully, Courtney started to open her eyes once again. She turned around to see a familiar figure, one she could now consider a friend. "You're not going to die that easily." Ahsoka quipped. Courtney smiled, now starting to get back to normal temperature. "God bless America." She stated. Ahsoka laughed before the two embraced each other happily. "Houston, we have landed successfully." Ahsoka stated, landing back on the ground with the rest of the Team, plus the new heroes, cheering them on. Stingray and The Natural both crossed their arms across their chests while DeltaRay, Blade Runner and Axel all saluted.

Capitol Fourth Center 1953 Hours UTC

Courtney and Tara were soon back in their civilian uniforms, as well as the rest of the Team, minus Ahsoka, for she still needed to be present at the Concert for her speech. "Do you have to go now?" Ahsoka asked sadly. Courtney, all wrapped up in gauze and with a crutch, sighed and sadly smiled. "Thank you for everything. Maybe the Outsiders really do have a chance of becoming good." She stated. Ahsoka smiled at this, in which Stargirl smiled back before Terra lifted up a rock to carry them both home. Before she and Courtney left, Tara sent a warm smile to Beast Boy, causing him to blush slightly. "Until all are one!" Terra called out. With that, the two Outsider Girls left the building.

As soon as they left, Stephen tapped Ahsoka on the shoulder. He was now wearing a grey jacket with a blue shirt underneath, as well as crimson jeans. "It's almost time, Ahsoka." He stated. Ahsoka nodded as she started to walk through the back of the stage, just in time as Barack Obama finished his speech. The President then looked to Ahsoka and smiled. "And now, I would like to give Jedi Knight Ahsoka Tano the opportunity to speak to you all." He said. Ahsoka smiled before walking up to the podium. "My fellow citizens, it is with great pleasure to be joining you on my first Fourth Of July." She started out, gaining some cheers from the crowd. "Up until today, I didn't know what it meant to be American, loyal and faithful to my country, but now, I do." She added on, gaining some respective silence from everyone. She then sighed and smiled again. "Earlier today, I learned that there are heroes on both sides, let it be here, or anywhere else on the globe, who fight for the freedom and independence of our country. Not everyone is pure evil, and that goes for the ORDER." This caused some muttering from the crowds before Ahsoka said, "I don't take sides, I speak for one voice only: the voice of those who died to keep the peace everywhere."

The crowd went wild at this. "We are all heroes, coming in all different cultures and ethnicities. We can fight for America if we just believe." She finished up, gaining more cheers. "And now, in the events for our fight for independence, and the birth of our constitution, to sing, 'Through My Own Eyes', Please welcome our singers for tonight's concert." Ahsoka finally said, stepping aside for Aaron Carter and Kayla Hinkle to sing their song. All was well, and God blessed the USA on the Fourth of July, in the presence of a Jedi.

IN MEMORY OF THE CHRISTIAN JEDI'S DECEASED RELATIVE…

Author's Note: Wow, what a chapter, huh? Sorry for the delay, everyone. I was so caught up in schoolwork and the Thanksgiving Holiday that I was hardly able to get to this. Please forgive me, but I've been so caught up in a lot of things that I've been unable to get to this story or any other. This chapter is in memory of one of The Christian Jedi's late relative, and my friends and family in the Philippines. I pray for all of them. I'll try to have a new chapter out later, probably after Christmas, but no promises. Still, I'll try my best. Please be sure to review, rate, and if you can, please try to Private Message me for anything on the story. For now, this is SuperHeroTimeFan signing off. Stay warm for the upcoming snow, have a great Christmas/Kwanza/Hanukah break everyone! See you soon!
