Chapter 7: The Droid Army

Ethan, Dooku, and Aria took off their hoodies as they entered the droid factory, feeling the heat and humidity of the place. The factory was a massive complex of metal and machinery, filled with buzzing noises and flashing lights. Rows and rows of droids were being assembled, programmed, and tested by the Geonosians, the insectoid natives of the planet.

"Where do we go now?" Ethan asked Dooku, who was leading the way.

Dooku scanned the area with his keen eyes, looking for a suitable target. "We need to go deeper into the factory, where they store the unfinished models. Follow me, and stay quiet and discreet. We don't want to attract any attention."

Ethan nodded, but he couldn't help feeling excited. He quickly covered his face with a face mask that he had brought with him. The mask had a filter that allowed him to breathe better in the dusty environment, and it also had a design of a demon smile that made him look more menacing. He put his hoodie back on, hiding his hair and ears.

Aria noticed his actions and tilted her head. "What are you doing? Why are you wearing that mask?"

Ethan grinned behind his mask. "It makes me cooler and more intimidating, don't you think?"

Aria giggled at his answer. She found him adorable and amusing. "Sure, whatever you say."

Dooku sighed and shook his head. He wondered where he had gone wrong in training Ethan to become a warrior. He hoped that his apprentice would be more serious and focused when the time came to hack into the droid network. He didn't want to risk their mission for Ethan's childish antics.

As the three went deeper into the factory, Ethan took a glance at Aria and admired her beautiful body figure. She was wearing a tight-fitting leather outfit that accentuated her curves. Her long lekku—the tentacles that grew from her head—swayed behind her as she walked. Her green eyes sparkled with intelligence and mischief.

Aria noticed his gaze and blushed slightly. She decided to tease her hero a little bit by walking with a bit more spring in her steps and enhancing her charm. She smiled at him and winked, making him flustered.

And the way she was shaking her hips and that nice juicy... thick... aaa!Wait a Second!

Ethan quickly looked away and thought to himself that Aria might kill her opponents with her looks alone. Is she even a Jedi? Can a Jedi even act like a seductress? Because his body was very uncomfortable right now. She was so stunning and captivating that he couldn't almost take his eyes off her. He felt a surge of attraction, which made everything embarrassing and awkward. He didn't know how to express his feelings or act around her. Damn your virgin hormones. No, Ethan, you must follow the ways of the True Sigma.

Still, though, Aria knows damn well what she was doing to him and wasn't ashamed to flaunt it. If this keeps up, he won't be able to keep himself from fucking her. Morality, be damned, he was going to fuck her like it was his last day on Earth. Shit... That was his Darkside amplifying his lust. Better keep his mind clear.

However, Ethan was unaware that he was subconsciously sending images to Aria through the Force. The images were sexual, intimate, and personal. They showed Aria in various outfits that Ethan had imagined for her, such as a Jedi robe, a princess gown, a pirate costume, a wedding gown, and a superhero suit. Each outfit reflected Ethan's fantasies and preferences, as well as his admiration for Aria's beauty and raging desire for raw sex.

Aria was surprised and embarrassed by the images. She felt a flush of heat on her cheeks and a flutter in her chest. She realized that Ethan lusted for her and that he was very creative and imaginative. She also felt flattered and touched by his attention and affection. She wondered if he would ever act on his feelings or if he would remain hesitant.

Still, who knew her 'master' had such a naughty mind? She was honestly worried about Ethan's preferences but now she was certain her'master' was only holding himself back for her sake. Even though she made it clear that she wouldn't mind him using her body for pleasure,. It was sweet, annoying, and confusing all at once.

Freedom was a confusing concept for a slave. She was born in slavery, not sold or captured. She was meant to be a sex worker but Ethan never used that on her. Every time she offers it, he either pretends to sleep, goes to training, or just tells her he is not in the mood.

Dooku remained silent and ignored the two. He pretended not to notice their flirting, but he was aware of everything. He didn't want to interfere or comment on their relationship, as it was none of his business. He also thought that it was good for them to have some happiness and companionship in their lives, especially in such a dark and dangerous time. He hoped that the two would bring great change to the galaxy, especially Ethan, who had the potential to be a powerful ally or a formidable enemy.

They finally reached the gate that led to the storage area, where they hoped to find a droid that was not activated yet. However, they found that the gate was shut and locked by a security system. There was no way to open it without alerting the facility to intruders.

Aria looked at the gate and frowned. "What do we do now?"

Dooku tried to think of a way to bypass the security system. He wondered if he could use the force to manipulate the wires or the circuits, but he doubted that it would work. He was more skilled in using the Force for combat and persuasion, not hacking.

Ethan also tried to come up with a solution, but before he could, he was assaulted by visions. He saw himself using technopathy with the Force, a rare and powerful ability that allowed him to communicate and control machines with his mind. He saw himself reaching out to the gate and its security system, sensing its structure and function and overriding its programming with his will. He saw himself opening the gate without triggering any alarms or sensors.

The vision ended abruptly, leaving Ethan stunned and confused. He felt a sharp pain in his head, as if his brain was overloaded by the information and energy. He staggered and almost fell, but Aria caught him and held him steady.

"Ethan! Are you okay?" Aria asked, worried.

Dooku quickly checked Ethan's condition with the force. He sensed that Ethan was fine, but he had experienced a powerful vision that had shaken him. He wondered what Ethan had seen and what it meant.

"I'm fine, I'm fine," Ethan said, recovering his balance and composure. He remembered the vision and realized that it was a message from the Force. It was showing him how to open the gate with his technopathy. He decided to try it out and see if it worked.

He focused his mind on the gate and its security system. He felt a connection between him and the machine, as if they were speaking the same language. He sensed its structure and function, and he sent a command to it with his will. He told it to open and let them through.

Dooku and Aria watched in awe as the gate opened on its own without any signs of alarm. They couldn't believe what they had just witnessed. Ethan had used technopathy with the Force, something that they had never seen or heard of before.

Ethan smiled triumphantly and gestured for Dooku to lead the way. "There you go. Problem solved."

Dooku nodded and walked through the gate, followed by Aria and Ethan. He wondered how Ethan had learned such a skill and what other secrets he had hidden in his mind. He felt a mix of curiosity and caution towards his apprentice, who had proven to be more than meets the eye.

Ethan barely contained himself in excitement upon the sight of hundreds, maybe thousands, of battle droids. They were of various models and types, such as B1, B2, droideka, commando, and Magna. They were all inactive, standing still and silent in their racks.

Dooku quickly told Ethan to act fast before they were caught. He said that he would handle the guards, while Aria would guard the entrance. He told Ethan to use his device to hack into the Android network and override their programming.

Ethan nodded and was about to enact his plan when he was assaulted by two more visions. The first one was Ethan using his technopathy to reprogram the droids to obey him, Dooku, and Aria. He saw himself sending a powerful pulse of force energy that spread throughout the factory, reaching every droid and every system. He saw himself imprinting his will and his code into the droids, making them loyal and obedient to him and his allies. He saw himself enhancing their performance and intelligence, making them fight better than in the original programming.

The second vision was them getting attacked by a mysterious figure. He saw a hooded man in black, wielding two guns. He saw the man shooting his way through the droids with ease, heading towards them. He saw himself confronting the man and both of them were fighting, with him being backed into a corner.

The vision ended and Ethan was confused. He wondered who the man was and why he wanted to fight him. He wondered if the vision was a warning or a prophecy.

He decided to follow the first vision and reprogram the droids with his technopathy. He thought that it would be faster and more effective than following his plan on hacking one droid that would send a virus through other droids. He also made a note to warn Dooku and Aria about his second vision later.

He closed his eyes and concentrated on the force. He felt it flow through him, connecting him to everything around him. He reached out to the droids with his mind, feeling their presence and their potential. He unleashed a wave of force energy that swept through the factory, affecting every droid and every system.

He spoke in his mind, commanding the droids to obey him.

"Listen to me. I am your new master. You will follow my orders and those of my allies. You will fight for me and protect me. You will improve your skills and tactics."

He felt a response from the droids, a faint but clear acknowledgment of his authority. He smiled and opened his eyes.

He saw the droids activate and turn their heads toward him. They spoke in unison, their metallic voices echoing in the storage area.

"Roger roger."

Alarms started blaring, signaling that they had been discovered. Dooku rushed back towards them, his lightsaber in his hand. He had fought his way through several guards and droids, but he knew that more was coming.

He quickly asked Aria if Ethan had succeeded.

"Aria, did he do it? Did he hack the droids?" Dooku asked.

Aria, who was unsure about Ethan's status, turned to see the battle droids under Ethan's command getting ready for a shootout. They had formed a defensive perimeter around Ethan, pointing their blasters at the incoming enemies.

"I think so. Look at them. They're following his orders," Aria said.

Dooku, who had encountered more battle droids on his way back, felt something was different about the droids that Ethan had hacked. He noticed how they acted differently, from the way they checked their weapons to the way they moved. Dooku could tell that these droids were acting as if they were soldiers ready for war.

"How did he do it? How did he reprogram them so quickly and so effectively?" Dooku wondered aloud.

Ethan quickly approached Dooku and Aria, his face mask still on. He asked them about the situation.

"Hey guys, what's going on? Why are the alarms ringing?" Ethan asked.

Dooku quickly explained that someone had tipped off the guards and now they would be facing an entire army. He said that they had to escape before they were overwhelmed.

"Someone tipped off the guards. The whole facility is on alert. We have to get out of here before we're surrounded," Dooku said.

Ethan smiled. This was good because now they could increase their army.

"That's fine. We can use this opportunity to recruit more droids for our cause. I've reprogrammed them to be loyal and smart. They'll fight for us and protect us," Ethan said.

Dooku remained silent, not sure what to make of Ethan's words. He was interrupted by a barrage of blaster fire from the enemy droids. They had arrived at the storage area and opened fire at them.

"Watch out! They're here!" Aria shouted.

Dooku raised his lightsaber and blocked the shots, deflecting them back at the attackers. Aria stepped in front of Ethan and did the same, protecting him from harm.

"Stay behind me, Ethan. I won't let them hurt you," Aria said.

Ethan quickly ordered his droids to attack. He said in his mind:

"Charge! Take out the enemy droids and don't let them escape. Show them no mercy."

He felt his droids comply and launch an assault on the enemy forces. They ran and took cover, firing their blasters with accuracy and coordination. They used military tactics and codes, communicating with each other and following Ethan's orders.

"Roger roger. Attack mode activated. Target acquired. Fire at will," the droids said.

Dooku was stunned as he watched the droids on their side fight with skill and strategy. He had never seen such a display of droid warfare before. He looked at Ethan and asked him how he did it. And did he just watch a droid jump in the middle of the fray while spinning around guns and blazing while spouting some gibberish battle cry? Another droid rushed and slid, kicked, and then smashed the enemy droid with its gun.

"Ethan, what did you do to them? How did you make them act like this?" Dooku asked.

"I used the Force to rewrite their code. I used Call of Duty as a model for their behavior. It's a video game where you shoot people and stuff. It's fun," Ethan said.

Dooku and Aria did not understand what he meant by Call of Duty or video games. They had no idea what Earth was or what kind of technology it had. They were confused and curious about Ethan's origins.

"What are you talking about? What is Call of Duty? What is a video game? What is Earth?" Dooku asked.

"I'll tell you everything later, I promise. But right now, we have to go. Come on, follow me," Ethan said.

He led them toward the exit, followed by his army of droids.

The battle between the enemy droids and Ethan's battle droids was fierce and chaotic. Ethan's battle droids were decimating the enemy with suicidal charges and military tactics, while aided by Ethan's technopathy hacking and reprogramming. They fought with ferocity and coordination, which was unheard of for droids. They seemed to have a will and a purpose of their own, driven by Ethan's commands.

The enemy side was startled and unnerved by how brutal Ethan's battle droids acted. They were like blood-lusted berserkers, always moving in the fight, never retreating or surrendering. They showed no fear or mercy, only aggression and determination. They constantly yelled "KAR EN TUK!" something that no one but Ethan knew what it meant. It sounded like a war cry or a challenge.

Ethan's battle droids worked together, providing cover fire while the rest charged in. They used their blasters, grenades, rockets, and even their bodies as weapons. They smashed, sliced, and exploded their enemies with ruthless efficiency. They also spread a computer virus that carried Ethan's reprogramming, infecting and converting more droids to their side. Their numbers increased each minute, while the enemy's numbers dwindled.

Ethan watched the battle with satisfaction and pride. He felt a connection with his droids, as if they were an extension of himself. He guided them with his mind, giving them orders and feedback. But he never expected them to suddenly develop a virus that reprogrammed the droids to join them.

Hopefully, this virus doesn't become a knockoff version of Skynet.

He turned to Dooku and Aria, who were also watching the battle with awe and disbelief. They had never seen anything like this before. They wondered how Ethan had achieved such a feat, and what it meant for their future.

"Are you seeing this? Are you seeing what I'm seeing?" Ethan asked them.

"Yes, Ethan. We are seeing it," Dooku said.

"Ethan, are you sure they won't rebel?" Aria asked with a hint of fear. Dooku could not blame her. Even he was unnerved by how Ethan programmed the droids to be so vicious and suicidal. By the Force, he had to watch a Droid rip out its arm and used it as a melee weapon!

Yes, they are machines but these machines never acted like how Ethan's did.

By the time it was over, the enemy droids retreated. They realized that they were losing far more numbers than Ethan and that they had no chance of winning. They fled in panic and confusion, leaving behind a trail of wreckage and corpses.

Ethan and his allies emerged victorious. They had taken over the factory and secured their position. They had also gained more droids for their army, by reprogramming and converting the enemy droids. By now, their numbers had tripled than what they originally had. They had a formidable force that could challenge anyone who opposed them.

Ethan turned to Dooku and asked "Dooku, do you think this factory has a ship big enough for our army? I want to get out of here."

Dooku shook his head. "I'm afraid not, Ethan. This factory only makes droids, not ships. We will have to look elsewhere for a suitable vessel. Or perhaps we could build one ourselves,"

Ethan whined inside his head and thought that this would be a long build-up. "Aw, man. That sucks. Why can't things be easier? Like in my video games? Is there no cheat code or shortcut for this?" Ethan thought.

"Well, I guess we'll have to work with what we have. We'll find a ship somewhere else, or build one ourselves. I'm not giving up on my army, or my plan," Ethan said.

Dooku nodded and turned to Ethan with a serious look. "Ethan, I understand your determination and your ambition. I admire you for your courage and your vision. I respect you as my student and my friend," Dooku said.

"However, there are some things that we need to discuss. There are some questions that Aria and I have about your origin and your abilities. We want to know more about you, and where you came from."

Ethan sighed and knew that this was coming but he never thought it would be this soon. He knew that he couldn't keep his secrets from them any longer. But can't tell the whole truth either, that would only set more problems for him.

He looked at Dooku and Aria, who was waiting for his answer with curiosity and concern. He saw their faces, full of trust and affection. He felt their bond, strong and sincere.

"Alright, alright. I'll tell you everything you want to know. But don't freak out when you hear it, okay? It's a long story," Ethan said.

"What do you want to know?"
