Chapter 10

Karel fought his greatest enemy, Anakin Skywalker. He met Salem, but she escaped. He left Corellia defeated, though on paper he did excellent. He was still untrusted by the Emperor.

I was flying back to my ship. Daniel and Dragonfist were the first ones to leave. Murphy dropped off Cecilia next.

"Bye Murphy, Bye Karel" She said. I didn't say anything. I was still thinking about my failure. I was so close to killing Anakin.

Should I kill Anakin? What would my master tell me? What would she say about my want for vengeance.

"You lost a fight. You need to shake it off." Murphy said.

"You don't know everything."

"I don't. Do you?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Was he disturbed? Was he holding back? Would you be able to kill him if he was fighting at his best?" I never thought of that… but I think I can still do it.

"I think I can do it."

"And if you can't?"

"I'll have to." I said

"I just don't want you to die because you're seeking revenge. Do you know who it will affect the empire if any one of us die?" I never thought about that. I never wanted to think about it. If I die, then that would affect the multiverse.

"I understand what you're saying."

"Good"

"But if I have the chance to end Skywalker, I will do it."

"Just do on a crusade against him and get yourself killed. You are my closest friend."

"What about Cecilia?" I ask him. He punches me jokingly.

"You don't think we would be good, together would you?"

"I've seen how you look at her."

Ce apparently learned a new trick and showed herself outside of my helmet.

"Who is this Cecilia?"

Murphy looks at me. He looks at Ce and looks back at me

"Do you have something for her?"

"No, I have a girlfriend. This is Ce. She's an AI."

"Wait, we have AI?" Murphy asked.

"No. I am unique to this suit of armor. The Emperor had me personally placed in this suit of armor."

"Why'd he do that?"

"I don't know." Ce rubbed her chin trying to think about it. "My resources have that information blocked. You don't have the proper authorization to gain that."

"But we're Mavens. Aren't we one of the highest-ranking people?"

"You don't have proper authorization"

"Well Ce, now that you have shown yourself, you should introduce yourself."

"It would be my pleasure. I am AI codename Ce. I am a part of the Suit for Maven Agent Pennsylvania."

"It's a pleasure to meet you Ce." Murphy said. Ce smiled.

"It's an honor to meet you Agent New York."

"How do you know that I'm New York?"

"How could I forget, you were there at my birth."

"Birth? You're an AI. Do you really have a birth?"

"Yes, it was when Karel here put on the suit for the first time. When I awoke for the first time I could barely hold myself, but I had to wait to make this body based off of one of the Mavens. My databank searched for all potential Mavens and I choose this Maven."

"You never told me this before." I say. I'm a bit surprised after this time she never told me anything about this. She must have sensed something in me change.

"Master, I feel a change in your emotions. Have I said something that has displeased you?"

"No Ce. It's just that you've never told me about any of this."

After I say that Murphy and I lurch forward. We are getting shot at. We flew right in a separatist trap.

"What planet are we over?"

"Agamar" Ce told me. Over all the planets in the Galaxy that I'm getting shot at its this one. Don't get me wrong, if you're a farmer it's a wonderful world, but really? We couldn't have been shot down over any other planet. Wait didn't the republic take this planet back.

"Get to the escape pods!" Murphy yelled. We went to the escape pods. This ship had two dozen pods. Murphy and I get into one, and we launch all of them at once. As me are going towards the planet, the ship was destroyed behind us. Murphy sighed.

"I just got that ship."

"We'll get you another one." We were plummeting towards the ground. We crashed into the trees. We opened the door and jumped down towards the ground. One of the CIS dropships were landing a few Kilometers away. I looked at Murphy and he nodded. We knew we had to move into the forest to avoid them.

The droids kept moving forward. Murphy's suit had a set of binoculars in it.

"We have probably half an hour to set up traps." He says. Ce comes out an showed me a way to get to a new weapon.

"What are these?" I ask

"These are made to destroy droids. They are micro charges that send out electric shocks, disabling droids."

"Why have I never seen these before?"

"You never needed them as much as you do now."

"So, you hid them." Ce smiled.

"To gain more weapons you have to fulfil certain criteria."

"Like almost dying?" I ask

"Many of them involve that, yes."

"What about the other Mavens?"

"Yes, some of them."

"Is the Emperor trying to get me killed?"

"I do not believe so. You are an asset to the army. I doubt that he would want you dead." Ce smiled

"Sure." I say.

"Well than, fire them. What are you waiting for?" Ce starts the weapon system and fires a few dozen of these detonators around the field. Murphy and I get up and move in the forest. I hear the mines go off after a few minutes.

"Let's hope that slowed down the clankers." Murphy said

"Yeah. Who knows how many of them there are?"

"I detect that there are at least four hundred droids that are coming after us." Ce said.

"That's not that bad." I say. This one time my master and I were being chased by about eight hundred droids, until we walked them into a trap. We blew them away with an orbital bombardment in our sector.

I did some dangerous stuff as a kid.

"What's your record?"

"A few hundred, now we have to focus on the task ahead of us."

"Not getting spotted."

"Yeah."

We walked though the forest, but I felt something. Murphy felt it too, and we ducked behind a tree. Where we were standing was hit with a blast. They fired at us with an AAT.

"They found us." I say. A squad of Commando droids surround Murphy and I. We pulled out our weapons. We stand back to back. We dash towards the droids. The first one brought up its blade, but I sliced right through it. One of the droids looked at the droid next to it.

Do droids get worried?

It doesn't matter, since I cut them both down. I launch a few more of those mines and they all short-circuit droids that surrounded us. Murphy destroyed a few droids, but he put his weapon away before I finished.

"You don't have to say anything."

"I'm faster."

"Did you not hear what I just said…" We both put our hands out and hold a cannon blast.

"We do need to get moving." I say. We turn it around and throw it back in the general area the shot came from.

While we were running from a tank and hundreds of battle droids, Murphy and I decided that we couldn't keep up with the pace. We ran at least a thousand Kilometers using the force the whole way. We saw this farmhouse near by, so we went to the door.

"We're still in our armor. Don't you think that may tip these people off that we might not be the safest people to be around." I said

"Go ahead and get out of it, but I'm staying in it." Murphy said

Murphy went to the farm house before I got out of my suit, in their farm. I stunk in there.

Murphy had to leave the house while being shot at. I waited for a few minutes hiding with the animals. After a few minutes I place my suit in the bag, and head to the house.

I knocked on the door and heard a man yelling

"I don't care if you're a Jedi or Palpatine himself, not republic dog is stepping in my house."

Was Murphy stupid? We are in deep CIS territory and he says he's with the republic.

The man opens the door with a blaster to my face, but when he sees I'm not Murphy he lowers it.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Karel Maes. I was taking a couple of my livestock when this guy in armor takes my prized cattle." I think my accent could use some work but can work for someone in distress.

"I saw someone like that not to long ago. Come on in. My wife will patch you up."

I walk in. My clothes were all dirty and ripped, by my doing.

The farmer's wife came over to me. She had two smaller children with her.

"I'm fine, just a little banged up. If the droids hadn't come in to fight off those good for nothing clones, who knows what would have happened to me. I even got to take a few of those field packs to repay me for my beast."

I could tell the wife felt better.

"I guess I could repay you with them."

"Oh no, that wouldn't be necessary."

"I insist." I reach into my bag and pull out the field rations. I give them to the wife.

"I never got your names." I say

"Cariri. My husband is Micdeon. These are my children." They smile at me. I finally take notice of the people who are keeping a roof over my head.

The husband had a farmer's body. He wouldn't standout at all in any farm. He did have one notable feature, a cybernetic arm.

The wife looked like she was exhausted. She had a few grey hairs from worrying, and she leaned forward slightly. She wore clothes that were worn. Both children did too.

They must have been living off the land. It's humbling. I travel planet to planet waging war then leave the planet in shambles.

"Why's your hair blue?" One of the kids ask. He was taller, probably the older child. He had black hair like mine when I don't dye it.

"I let my cousin dye it." I say. I mean my story is that I'm a poor farmer.

"It's blue" The younger child said. She must have been less than four years old.

"Thank you again. Since my parents died, it's been hard. I was going to join the army after selling my beasts."

"That's noble of you." Micedon said. He put his blaster against the wall.

"Are you a good shot" I ask

"Not really. Just need to point it at whoever is trying to take my stuff away."

Cariri went to the kitchen and made a meal out of the field kit that I gave her. Micedon was a nice guy. I hope nothing will happen to them. This War is a cruel one.

"So, how old are you boy?"

"I'll be eighteen in a few weeks."

"A good age. Sadly fewer people are getting that old now a days."

"Yeah."

"I should be going soon."

"You can stay the night."

"Thank you. I think I'll take you up on that." I wonder where Murphy was. He couldn't have gone too far.

Cariri came back with a meal.

"We don't have an extra bed, but you can take our couch." Cariri said.

"I hope I'm not being too much of a drain on you. I hate being a bother." I couldn't stay long. I don't want to put this family in danger.

After we ate the kids went to bed. I talked with the parents for a little while. I realized that I am really good at making a story up on the fly.

"I'm not saying that the confederation is evil, but the republic still has some merits. Only if they impeached those senators who only think of money, this war could have been avoided." I say

"But Palpatine is too scared to do anything like that. He wouldn't want to upset his friends. What's keeping two thousand senators happy, when you lose billions." Micedon said

"I have no love for the man. What do you think of the empire coming out of nowhere?"

"I want to know how they got here. How could an army like that appear out of nowhere?"

"It's strange. From what I hear they come from a different galaxy entirely." I say. I wonder if he'll buy it.

"Don't believe everything you hear boy. They are just regular people. They bleed and die like the rest of us."

"Only a rumor."

"Paranoia is more I like it." Cariri said

"Yah. My cousin's out fighting the empire and I'm stuck here."

"It's not a bad world. This world is an important one."

"I just want more."

"He has a fire in him. I wasn't to unlike him." Micedon said

"And that's how you lost your arm."

"That it is." He patted his arm.

"I'm tired. I think I'll be going to bed now." I said. I was tired, and I needed to keep my cover.

"We only have a spare couch. It's all we can spare." Micedon said

"Don't worry. I've slept on worse." I say.

I laid down on the couch and fell asleep shortly after.

I don't know when I woke up, but when I did it was still dark. I looked at my holo and saw that it was three. I get off the couch, moving a blanket off me. They must have put it on me at some point. I walk out of the house being as quite as possible. I placed two more field rations on their table.

"Maybe…" I walked into the farm and saw Murphy having to sleep in a bale of hay. I put on my armor and kick his foot. Murphy wakes up and stares at me.

"We don't have long until the sun of this world comes up. We have to go."

Murphy sat up and pulled out a few straws from his hair. He sat up and put his helmet back up.

"What's the rush?"

"Their farmers. In about an hour he's going to wake you up with the but of a gun." I say. I reach my hand out for Murphy. He takes it and we both get up. We start moving forward.

"I'm surprised that the droids haven't found us yet." I say

"The nearest shipyard is a few hours hike, even with the force." Murphy says.

"Have we contacted anyone?" I ask

"No."

"We should do that soon."

"The clankers will find the message."

"We need to get away from this planet."

"Do it."

I go for my comm.

"This is Agent Pennsylvania and Agent New York. We are stuck on the planet Agamar. We need a pickup. This is Agent Pennsylvania and New York, Planet Agamar."

I sent out the message. I hope someone would get the message.

We kept going moving forward. A spy ship flew over us. The CIS just saw us.

I turn around and see a few dozen ships. I sigh, and Murphy turned to talk to me.

"We've got to go."

We start running, using the force to make us go faster. I don't know if we'll be getting to the city quickly.

An Arrow dashes out of the sky, and shots down that a few of the spy ships that were following us.

"I wonder who that is?" Murphy said. I didn't really care right about now.

"Look at that…" Murphy said. I turned around and saw what he was talking about. An invasion force come into orbit. Dozens of arrows came flying through the air. The CIS fleet that stood to defend from the attacks that would come. It didn't stand a chance. I saw as they all blew up, one by one. An arrow lands in front of Murphy and I. Someone came out of it

"Guy, it's so good to see you again." The man was in a light blue armor. He seemed familiar, but I've never seen this armor before, nor his weapon. His armor was like that of a regular troop, except the helmet was of and of course the suit was blue. His weapon looked like a flamethrower.

A squad of droids walked out of the forest, but the troop fired… ice at them. They froze in place. Then he force pushed the droids.

"You're a maven, but which one?" Murphy asked

"Alaska. It's me, Philip." The image came rushing back from when we were at Hogwarts.

"You've gotten stronger." I say.

"I was assigned to take this planet, then we got your message. I had to save you guys to make us even." Philip said

"We need a ship." I said

"We'll have a few of those lying around. I assume that we'll have the planet in a few hours at most. I have to get the planet's leader. I'll take you guys to the capital if you need to get there so bad."

"We need to get there." Murphy says. I just though of Siren. She's going to kill me. She hates when I'm unpunctual. Especially when it's a mission that the emperor gave me. Last time she took away my bed for a week, but she had all of her perverts try to get me to sleep in one of their beds.

Seriously, she's a huge pervert. I'm still half convinced she tried to plant a camera in my bathroom. I don't know if she succeeded.

We get on the ship and fly to the capital city. Since the… governor's estate? I don't know what this planet has. Since we flew over the leader's estate, we crashed in. Literally

"Hold On." Is all that Alaska said. I'm surrounded by insane people, and I'm surprised that I haven't been stabbed by one of them yet… or was I… never mind.

When we crashed into the estate the door opened and I looked at it. It was a decent looking building, no senate building that's for sure. I get my lightsaber out and cut down a droid. It doesn't matter to me now, might as well.

Murphy takes out a knife and slices a few droids to bits. He looked at me.

"What?"

"It's just that I didn't know that you used a knife."

"Yeah, so what?"

"Nothing." I use the force to toss a droid to the side. I smirk.

"That never get's old"

We fought until we found a person. Alaska proved that he's stronger than when I first met him. He used his weapons to freeze the leg of the person. He went over and asked where the senator was. I guess they have a senator.

"I'm not talking."

Alaska didn't like that. He grabbed the hand of the person and froze the fingers. He broke them off one by one.

"One more time, where is the senator?"

"The fortieth floor, but his door would be sealed shut by now. You're not getting to him."

Philip placed his gun up to his head and froze it. He then smashed the head against the wall.

"Let's go."

We moved up to the fortieth floor, but that was twenty flights of stairs.

"Why couldn't you have crashed closer to the office."

"I didn't know what floor he was on."

When we get to the floor it's covered by clankers. There were six droidikas. We made it so that they would try to shoot at me since I'm the only one with a lightsaber. As I blocked all the bolts, the droids were slowly destroyed. This was getting tiring, so I planned to fire more of the mines but…

"I'm sorry master, but the mines are all out."

"You're kidding me"

"This is no joke master."

"What do we have that won't kill Philip and Murphy?"

"I believe we have earned the right to use this new weapon."

My suit went from bell mode to a new mode. A blade shot out, being electrified.

"What?"

"Scranton Pennsylvania, the electric city."

"Really? So, my weapons correspond with cities in Pennsylvania?"

"Some do master, yes." Intriguing. I'm going to have to study this state more than I have.

I fire more of these electric blades. The droidikas absorb the power from the blade.

"That's not good." They all turn to me and start firing. I block them, but it's getting hard to do so.

Murphy takes three down, now Philip just needs to do his job. He freezes the droids, and then destroys them. I take a breath. I won't get shot at again for a few minutes.

"Karel, we need you to cut this door open." Murphy says.

"fine." I cut the door open and use the force to push it away, but I get shot at again. I block it and grab the man who shot at me I throw him to Philip. He looks at the man and says something in his ear. I don't know what he said. He then killed the senator.

"That's all we had to do. Let's get you off this planet." Philip takes us to the ship and take us to the flagship for the battle.

"Yes sir, the planet has been taken." The officer told Philip.

"Thank you, guys, for helping me with this one. If you ever need help, just come and speak to me"

"Will do. I have to get back to Siren." I wasn't looking forward to that

"I guess I'll see you both later." We make our goodbyes and I get to a ship. I wave goodbye to Murphy and I fly off. It doesn't take more than a day or two to get back to Siren's ship. When I land I see one of the female officers looking at me like I was a meal.

I ignore her and walk to my chambers. I have to ignore most of the women. When I get to my room I see that I still have a bed. There's a note on it.

"You worried me. I placed a reward as punishment. You know what it is. Siren" Yeah. She's disgusting. Who would I go to, to complain about h how she sexually harasses me, and gets all her female staff to do it. I'm going to have to lock my door for about a week.

Ninalex comes thought my door

"You're back." She says.

"Yes I am." I'm still made about what Siren does to me

"What's that in your hand."

I giver her the note. Once she's done reading it she just looks confused. I pull out another note and hand it to her. It is much more explicate about what the bounty is. Ninalex blushes

"She's disgusting."

I take my helmet off, but it gets caught on my hair. I pull it off, but I pulled out hairs. I get out a pair of scissors and hand them to Ninalex.

"Cut off my hair." I ask her. She doesn't do it.

"Why won't you do it?"

"I don't want to hurt you." My door opens again and there is Siren.

"Oh, look at my two apprentices together, alone in a room." She looks at the scissors

"What are you doing."

"My hair keeps getting stuck when I take off my helmet"

"I can cut it. Come over here." She takes the scissors and I watch as clumps of my hair falls to the ground. I go look at a mirror and see Siren isn't bad at all.

"There are lots of things you don't know about me." Siren said

"Thank you."

"Your welcome. I'll get someone to clean this up, and then both of you are going to come with me. We have a mission."

"I just got back."

"Stop complaining."

"Fine." I look longingly at my bed. Siren slaps the back of my head

"Keep moving."

I rub it and put on the helmet. The three of us get onto an Arrow and fly away.

Author's notes: Next chapter is going to be important not just for this story, but for the next one too.

I hope some of my readers from my other story come over to this one, and for you readers to go over to that one {Jedi Hunter: The Second Great War. It's a RWBY X SW fanfic.}

If you're from Pennsylvania can you tell me the nickname for your closest city, and something about it.

May the Force be With You
