WE'RE BACK FOLKS! 🎉🎉🎉
And let me just say that Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is AWESOME! I haven't beaten it yet so I can't give it a rating yet. I will say that it made me forget all about that awful Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League game.
"AAAH!" Maverick awoke from his sleep after having a nightmare that he was playing that game again. 😰
There there. It's okay….It was all just a dream. Shhhhh….😴
Plus I discovered a horrible disturbance in the web force known as YouTube. A YouTuber named 'Trollsbandtogetherfan2001' is by far the worst you'll ever see in the movie critic and a film fan. Not only does he think Spider-Man Across The Spider-Verse and Frozen II are the worst films ever made(He called Across the Spider-Verse the 911 of movies. Talk about disrespect and inconsiderate!). But he considers Trolls Band Together to be the best ever. And he attacks anyone who thinks otherwise. Calling Spiderverse fans toxic and giving all of us middle fingers. ️
"Okay well….Everyone's entitled to their opinion." Maverick shrugged ️
He also ridicules, rants and attacks anyone on YouTube who gives Trolls Band Together a bad rating and he's rude and doesn't respect other people's opinion.
"Okay well…We can just avoid this web shark." Maverick shrugged. ️
He also gave Netflix's Cuties a good rating. 😒
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT TROLL DOLL?!" Maverick raged at Trollsbandtogetherfan2001 fan. "YOU ***KING MONSTROUS MANCHILD!" 😡
So yeah. He's lazy with his editing. His videos are unscripted. He's got a crush on Venellope despite her being a child and he's an adult in his twenties.
"Ew!" Venellope cringed.
#DownwithTrollsbandtogetherfan2001.
Anyway, if you see him on YouTube. Beware the contrived mediocre insult to injury himself.
So, now that we've gotten that Manbaby out of the way. Let's get ready as the Guardians of the Depths continues to save the Star Wars Universe from not only the Incursion. But the fate of their dark times of Order 66.
But first let's answer some comments.
SPYRO 101: oh I will. And thank for helping me right these chapters, Pal! 👍😊
RustyPete12: Oh I've had the idea of visiting the Star Wars world for a while now. I chose the Revenge Of The Sith timeline because I always imagined how things would've been different if Anakin hadn't given into the Emperor's obvious lies. I get that he was vulnerable. But I think HISHE gave me this idea. Only I'm doing it differently. And even with some added bonuses. Since an Incursion is connected to another world or another timeline. I have a few more surprises in store. 👍😉
Alright! Now that we're all here!
LET'S GET DANGEROUS! 😎
Changing History.
Back at the Wookie Camp...
What was once the planet of the Wookies known as Kashyyyk is now a fraction of what's left of this iconic galaxy. Luckily the ones who weren't swept away during the Incursion have made a camp over by the river where Uatu the Watcher guards over the three remaining portals.
After Maverick and the Guardians came back with Padme, C-3P0 and R2-D2. They took the pregnant Senator and led her over to a comfortable open tent near the fire. Where some female Wookies were tasked to watch out for Padme.
"You're gonna be okay here?" Goofy asked Padme as she was given a seat by the campfire.
"Yes, I'll be fine. Thank you." Padme said reassuringly with a small smile.
"We just have three more associates of yours to bring in." Maverick stated and muttered very quietly. "And by associates I mean two friends and a wedlock."
"In the meantime. Stay here where it's safe." Tsunami said to Padme.
"Donald. Goofy. You're in charge of looking after this camp. If anyone or thing comes here to raise hell, don't hesitate to use the lightning spells." Maverick said to the Disney Duo.
"Understood." Donald said with a nod.
"Don't worry, Connor. We'll keep things here under control." Goofy said.
With Dug still playing around with the Wookie children that were playing fetch with something that resembles a rock. Things should be pleasant around here.
After Maverick. Tsunami and Mini-Mav walked over to Uatu. He pointed at the second portal.
"The next alley you must retrieve is Ahsoka Tano. Before the Incursion she was on a Clone Warship with Commander Rex and a large squad of clones who were bringing aboard a prisoner by the name of Maul. After saving the city of Mandalore from an invasion. Their ship ended up crashing on Kamino. Just a few hours before Order 66 could be given out." The Watcher stated.
"Well that's a relief. I'd hate to see 'New Zealand Infinite' point a gun at me." Maverick quipped.
"Great. So we don't have to worry about Rex or the other clones being turned against us. We can get their help alongside Ahsoka's." Tsunami said.
"it is imperative that you should know this. You will have the means to disable the imperial chips within all of the clones once you're on the base where they were born. Keep your eyes open. you will only have one chance to save them." Uatu warned.
"Right...No pressure." Mini-Mav meekly replied.
"It's days like this I wish I bought all the Lego sets." Maverick exhaled as he took a deep breath. "You ready, Seahorse?"
"Ready as I'll ever be." Tsunami said. "Let's do this."
"Oh also just a quick heads up. FELICITY gave me a warning that the Incursion will de-stabilize any atomic particle that isn't part of this universe. so until we get this whole thing under control, we have to keep the suits on. Donald gave a stabilization spell to him. Goofy and Dug. I also gave Small Fry here a mod that links to my suit's quantum field." Maverick informed Tsunami as they were getting ready to jump through the second portal.
"Got it. Keep the suits on until this is all over." Tsunami said.
On that note. Maverick. Tsunami and Mini-Mav jumped through the portal. Ready to go down and rescue Ahsoka along with anyone else who might be in danger.
Down at Planet Kamino...
The planet with a surface shrouded by water. And constantly in chaos byt the never ending rain. The only thing that stands out about Kamino were the circular white base buildings that stood up above the waters. Home of the Kaminoans that gave birth to the clone army of Jango Fett. The diseased bounty hunter from Mandalore.
Why this planet always rains is beyond Maverick and the other Star Wars fans. But the locals around here don't seem to mind. Especially since they make a lot of progress with building an army for the Republic.
When Maverick. Tsunami anr Mini-Mav arrived. They landed on the roof of one of the main Kamino bases. Mini-Mav held his arms out to feel the heavy rain.
"I think they should rename this place Planet Seattle." Maverick quipped.
"This rain is so heavy and intense, this world might as well be under water." Tsunami commented.
"That was one of my Dad's fan complaints about this world." Maverick scoffed as he looked around and scanned the area. "I wouldn't count on any Jedi being here, considering that Ahsoka and those Space Monks aren't really on the best terms."
"Why's that?" Tsunami asked curiously.
"Because Ahsoka left the Jedi order. It's part of the reason she survived Order 66 in the cannon universe." Maverick explained. "A while back she was framed for a bombing at the temple that killed several innocent lives. Jedi included. When the evidence pointed to Ahsoka being the culprit the Jedi turned against her. But Anakin was the only one that knew she was innocent."
"But who was the real culprit?" Tsunami asked.
"One of her companions. A padawan name Barris Offee. She didn't intend for Ahsoka to originally take the fall. But in reality. She thought the Jedi were tainted. When in reality. Barris was really detecting Palpatine's corruption." Maverick explained as he was still scanning.
"Making her attack the wrong people!" Tsunami gasped.
"Precisely. After Barris was discovered by Anakin. Ahsoka was released and given the offer to return to her previous rank in the Jedi. But she declined and left them. Honestly, I don't blame her. Those pretentious Kung Fu Pandas with their glowsticks barely apologize. But they gave some pretentious remarks about how her experience would make her stronger or some shit." Maverick scoffed as he kept scanning.
"If it was me I would've punched one of them." Tsunami commented and asked. "But what happened to Barris?"
"She was arrested. But the fans and the rest of us never found out what happened." Maverick stated as he kept getting a negative read.
"Hey Padre. Look." Mini-Mav pointed down at a building that was next to a crashed clone war ship in the water.
Maverick looked down and saw that the building wasn't touched or damaged even with the crash site being a few feet close to the building. Probably due to the Incursion's quantum disruption. It only crashed against the temporal distortion rather than the building it was leaning against. Plus the heavy rain made it harder to see until they got close.
"Huh...You'd think with all this rain, that would've been easy to spot." Maverick remarked as he felt weird for not noticing that.
"Oh, I already noticed that a few minutes ago." Tsunami said smugly. "I just didn't want to interrupt story time."
Maverick gawked at her briefly before he scoffed and exhaled as he rubbed the top of his head as he couldn't help but chuckle while feeling anxious.
"I'd take it back everything I said about The Phantom Menace, cause that was a masterpiece compared to this." Maverick quipped as a way to tease his girlfriend. Before he turned around to jump down to a walkway.
It's funny because Tsunami's not in that film. But as Tsunami and Mini-Mav jumped down to join up with Maverick. Tsunami smirked as she felt the need to tease back.
"Oh dear. It seems I caught the great Maverick off guard." Tsunami said teasingly as she followed Maverick over to a balcony entrance inside the building.
Just then as they entered into the building. They saw five Clone Troopers in their white armor standing inside the hallway, they looked startled as they pointed their guns at the Guardians.
"HALT! How did you get in here?!" A clone Trooper yelled.
"Holy ***k knuckles, they're so much bigger than their action figures." Maverick muttered.
"My purpose fulfilled." Mini-Mav gasped breathlessly.
"Identify yourselves! Now!" One of the Clone troopers demanded, pointing his weapon directly at the three.
"Is this where the line starts for Rosario Dawson's autograph?!" Mini-Mav asked in response.
"How about you let me do the talking and you just act like hallway decor." Maverick replied in a deadpanned to his miniature double.
"I will ask again! Identify yourselves! Now!" The Clone Trooper demanded with a touch more intensity.
"Alright already! Damn!" Maverick groaned and responded. "I'm Maverick, this is Mini-Mav and my Ride or Die, Tsunami."
"We're not here to fight." Tsunami said calmly. "We were sent here by master Yoda."
"And if you can tell by the crash you've all been in and all of the cosmic crask in the sky ruining your day, we're here to deal with that." Maverick stated. "So if you can lower your smokes and tell me where Ahsoka Tano is we'll-"
***KA-BOOOM!***
Just then the double door behind the Clone Troopers burst open as several Clone Troops fell dead. Then six Droidekas rolled in and stood with their shields on and started blasting at them. The same bronze rolling robot droids with the round shields and the turret arms with claw-like legs.
***Blaster Fire!***
But Maverick blocked the robot's blasts with a neon wall to cover the Clone Troopers and Tsunami used her water spell to fill the Droidekas shields. Then she spun in the air and used a thunder spell to blow them to bits.
The Clone Troopers stood up in surprise of the Guardians heroics as Tsunami and Maverick ran out towards the door with Mini-Mav.
"We'll handle the rest!" Tsunami said to them before they left.
Once outside. The three Guardians saw that they were standing inside the Tipoca City Military Complex. The primary facility that the Kaminoan cloners used for the production and training of the Grand Army of the Republic. A large facility which would resemble a mall or a university or maybe even a mega church in Maverick's eyes. As the entire place was white, metallic and well accommodated for an army of clones.
Only this time it wasn't crowded with Clone Troopers. It was instead filled with Shadow Heartless and Neoshadow Heartless. Roaming around as so many different Clone Troopers were doing their best to shoot them down. Along with the Heartless were Separatist Droids that the Heartless were avoiding. So the Droids were only shooting at the Troops.
"A few hundred Heartless and a dozen metal Mosquitos. Do you want the left side or the right?" Maverick asked as he had an idea. And Tsunami caught on instantly.
"I'll take left. You take right." Tsunami said, agreeing with whatever plan Maverick had.
Maverick nodded as he then summoned his keyblade and dashed into the air to summon an ocean wave of neon and sent it rushing over a large number of Heartless. Saving the lives of a dozen Clone Troopers that were pinned down. Then he spun in the air and teleported to slash at over twenty different Droids as he rapidly teleported all around the area.
"Uh Ooooh!" One Separatist Droid screamed as it's head fell to the ground. "I hate my life."
While Mini Mav stood on a pedestal and shot down thirty droids and many Heartless with his cannon arms and missile launchers, while flipping to dodge their blasts.
Tsunami rushed using Free Flow and ice spells to freeze forty droids solid. While she slashed at so many different Neoshadow Heartless. So far she and Maverick along with Mini-Mav were making the fight easy for the Clones
With only a handful of droids and a lesser handful of Heartless left. Maverick landed on the ground in front of the clone named Lieutenant Jesse who was just as surprised as the others.
"Mind if I talk with this party's host? I'll definitely accept all 200 questions you have after I see them." Maverick asked.
"Uh…Sure." Lieutenant Jessie replied after regaining his thoughts. "Commander Rex is up at the Command Center with Ahsoka Tano."
"Yes!" Maverick bumped his fist in excitement before he saluted Jessie. "Take care, aim between the eyes or thighs."
Then he teleported and parkoured across the walkway tube. With Mini-Mav and Tsunami following. As they parkoured across the walkway up towards the collapsed elevator to the command center. Maverick flipped and ran up the glass elevator lift shaft. With Tsunami and Mini-Mav following him.
Inside the Command Center was a large white room with tables surrounding a circular terminal with computer monitors and controls. Used for monitoring missions and battles inside and out of the planet regarding the Clone Troopers. But now those tables are overturned as Commander Rex was taking cover. Firing at some battle droids.
While over by the shattered windows was the famous Ahsoka Tano who was in a duel with three IG-100 MagnaGuard droids. They were spinning their electric weapons. Ahsoka had managed to split one of them in half and jump in the air while wielding her two lightsabers.
Ahsoka was still clashing her weapons with theirs when suddenly a large wind spell blew all of the droids out of the windows and sent them crashing down below.
Ahsoka turned and so did Rex who got up. To see Maverick and Tsunami that were the ones who used a wind spell.
And before Maverick could say anything. Mini Mav jumped at the edge of the windows and pointed down at the now destroyed IG-100 MagnaGuard droids.
"And if ya'll come back as ghosts, we'll break them too!" Mini-Mav humorously declared.
"You know you stole my intro line, Tiny Tim! You know that right?!" Maverick exhaled at Mini-Mav in annoyance.
He really wanted to speak first when he finally met a character he's a fan of.
"Who are you? And how did you do that?" Ahsoka asked with slight suspicion.
"She and I are keybladers. And cosmic tourists that came for the caviar. That last parts a lie, I wouldn't be caught dead eating that shit." Maverick quipped.
"We're Guardians from another universe. And we're here to fix the Incursion." Tsunami explained.
"An incursion? That's what's going on?" Ahsoka asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Pretty much." Maverick shrugged.
"What's an Incursion?" Commander Rex asked as he stood next to Ahsoka.
"An Incursion occurs when the boundary between two universes erodes and they collide, destroying one or both entirely." Tsunami explained.
"And basically your current present is colliding with another universe possibly set in the future. At least that's what the Watcher implied." Maverick added.
"Watcher? As in 'The' Watchers?!" Ahsoka asked with surprise. "I've read about them in the Jedi Temple Library! You guys actually met one?!"
"Uatu the Watcher. He's the reason we're here. I'm Maverick. That's Tsunami and Mini-Mav. We're the Guardians of the Depths and we're here to not only end the Incursion but to save everyone's future." Maverick stated before he asked Rex. "Where did you're artificial parents design cranial specs?"
Rex picked up behind the banter that Maverick was asking about where Kamino's scientists design the brains of every Clone.
"Who wants to know?" Rex inquired skeptically.
"Trust me, Sargent Slaughter. If Palpatine hits that secret code, everyone here will be in deep shit." Maverick insisted.
"Palpatine? What are you talking about?" Ahsoka asked with slight shock, wondering what he meant.
"Chancellor Palpatine is not who you think he is. He's actually the Sith Lord Darth Sidious. And he's been operating on the inside since day one." Tsunami explained.
"And I'm gonna be straight with ya'll. He put imperial chips in every clone's brain to activate a top-secret contingency protocol to kill all Jedi." Maverick stated in a serious tone.
Much to Ahsoka and Rex's shock.
"No... That can't be." Ahsoka muttered in shocked horror.
"Is this some sick joke?!" Rex yelled angrily in denial.
"I wish I was, but I'm normally more creative with my sick jokes." Maverick shrugged.
"But we still have a chance. You all still have a chance. But you have to tell us what we need to know." Tsunami persisted.
"Did the scientist named Nala Se have an operating room? An office or a lab where she designs clone brains?" Maverick asked.
Commander Rex hesitated before he sighed.
"Yes actually. Her research facility holds all records and manufacturing designs for all clones." Rex said with a grim look. "Including the brain."
"Swell. Now can you tell me exactly where that is?" Maverick asked with urgency.
But then suddenly. The intercom came online. As Chancellor Palpatine's voice was heard.
***"Attention all Clone Troopers."*** Palpatine called out.
Maverick's eyes widened as he quickly constructed neon noise canceling headphones over Rex's ears which caught him off guard, but it kept his ears covered from what's going to be said next.
***"Execute Order 66."*** Palpatine commanded.
Suddenly. Every Clone inside the Military Complex from down below the Command Center turned while looking hostile as they aimed their guns at where Commander Rex and Ahsoka were standing. Much to the horror of the Commander and former Jedi.
"FOR THE REPUBLIC!" One clone yelled as they all fired.
Ahsoka drew her lightsabers and was about to deflect the blasts. But Maverick quickly covered the windows with neon barriers.
***BLASTER FIRE!***
The blaster noises echoed throughout the facility as the Clones couldn't penetrate the neon barrier.
"So did you catch all of that or do I have to repeat myself?!" Maverick yelled as he was keeping the blasters from entering.
Now Ahsoka and Rex are definitely convinced.
"I'll show you where the lab is! But we have to go through that hallway!" Rex replied and he pointed over at the left end of the facility.
"Are you with us?!" Tsunami asked Ahsoka who looked ready to run with them.
"Count me in!" Ahsoka said, readying herself.
On that note. Maverick teleported everyone out of the room. And all of the clones halted their fire. Assuming that they were all dead. And they went on to patrol and recon the area to see if they're was a way to get in contact with Palpatine.
Fortunately for our heroes. They couldn't find one.
Down at the medical facility...
Commander Rex. Ahsoka and the three Guardians ran inside of Nala Se's main lab where there was a large computer terminal straight over at an operating table and test tubes. The white metallic interior was no different from the rest of the building. But the lab looked much more advanced and technological with circuitry inside the walls.
Ahsoka locked the door. And Mini Mav pushed a large container against the door. Much to Ahsoka's intrigue.
"Just in case." Mini-Mav dusted his hands and winked at Ahsoka while pointing fingers. Thinking he's a little Lady's Man.
Maverick ran over to the main terminal and started up Nala Se's computer.
"Alright. Now the real magic begins." Maverick said as he began typing.
"I just don't understand." Commander Rex said with a conflicted look. "Why the hell would Kamino's best and brightest be in bed with a Sith Lord?"
"Not all of them. Just this lady. Nala Se, damn that name roles off the tongue. Anyway she had some extremely disapproving opinions towards the Jedi's spiritual beliefs over science. So she's been shacking with the other end even when this all started." Maverick explained as he was typing.
"Isn't she around here, still? This place is too empty to be running such an important deal." Tsunami wondered.
"The Kaminoans aren't here." Ahsoka answered. "The whole planet has been empty since our ship crashed here."
"The whole planet? Not even any extra off duty clones or minors?" Maverick inquired.
"Not even them." Rex sighed.
"Jesus, they all got swept away into the Incursion." Maverick realized and then shrugged. "More leg room I guess."
"But we can get them back right?" Tsunami asked.
"If we end the Incursion, everything goes back to normal but it won't undo anything we do in it, right now." Maverick replied as he kept typing.
Then as he bypassed some mainframe security and then he inserted a small blue drive into a socket on the terminal, it was break-in protocol to give FELICITY access to the computer.
"Alright FELICITY, you're in." Maverick said and then sang. "Tell me something good!~"
'I can hack into the Imperial Chip's from this terminal. But I need a clear sample of the original prototype to gain access to every known clone on record.' FELICITY answered.
"Wait. I just remembered something I heard about from Master Kenobi." Ahsoka spoke up, getting their attention. "He once told me that Nala Se keeps all of her records and past work down at the vault a few floors below."
"How many floors exactly?" Maverick inquired.
'About four floors your current position.' FELICITY answered.
"Swell!" Maverick clasped his hands together as he got a lock on the computer's map which told them where to go.
"So we should split into two groups. One to watch over this place and the other to find the prototype chip." Tsunami suggested an idea.
"I shall go with Asami to find our protein chip!" Mini-Mav declared while standing next to Ahsoka from below.
Obviously saying both her name and the name of the chip wrong.
"Nope. You're staying with Commander Shepard over there to watch after this place." Maverick sternly told Mini-Mav while gesturing at Commander Rex. "The three of us can find the prototype."
Maverick. Tsunami and Ahsoka to find the Imperial Chip Prototype. While Mini-Mav and Rex watch over the lab.
"Ah man! Babysitting duty." Mini-Mav pouted.
"Alright. Let's hurry before the other clones reach us." Ahsoka said.
"Sure but first things first. Here." Maverick handed Ahsoka two white Atlantean weapons that resemble swords.
"What are these for?" Ahsoka asked, since she had her lightsabers.
"Non lethal riot sabers. Use your lightsabers on real enemies and use those on all your friends who think they're under Sharia law." Maverick quipped.
"What he means is we don't want to kill any of the clones. But use those riot sabers in case any attack you." Tsunami explained.
"Oh so these won't kill the other clones if I go all out?" Ahsoka asked as she understood with a smirk. "That's pretty handy."
"As long as you don't slash in between the legs, otherwise you'll just make them wanna die." Maverick quipped as he then teleported over to Rex and handed him two non lethal pistols. "One shot from anywhere can knock em out completely. just don't aim for the eyes or the mouth or you will be sued after this is over."
"Right. Thanks." Commander Rex said as he took the weapons into his hands and examined them.
After that. Maverick went over and teleported Tsunami and Ahsoka outside. Ready to head for the vault to find the Imperial Chip Prototype.
Let's hope they don't run into any complications.
Down at the Medical Vault...
As The Clone Ship crashed earlier. Their original course was to deliver a prisoner that they captured on Planet Mandalore. The one who led the Crimson Dawn against Ahsoka and Bo Katan during the attack. The former Sith Phantom. Maul.
Maul looked around to see if he could find anything to start up one of the pods to get him off the planet. But he saw the strange phenomenon up in the cloud. And wondered if space travel was even a good idea. Of course as he was taking in his surroundings and making sure no clones were inside. Especially since he killed some to get into this room.
Maul wasn't alone.
"You had the right idea, but the wrong approach." Ardyn Izunia spoke from behind Maul who turned and glared.
"What do you know?!" Maul snarled.
"I know plenty. And I also know that you wished to stop your vision from coming to past. But it's not Skywalker you need. It's the Maverick." Ardyn Izunia grinned sinisterly.
"Explain." Maul said with an intense glare
"You see. every universe has a respective perspective on everything that reflects their reality. and your universe greatly reflects his own. But none of you are aware. To the Maverick, this world was nothing but entertainment to fuel his childish ego. Like many youths from his world. They watched everyone here live and suffer as a spectacle. So if you really want to save you a universe. You make him talk. He'll be here soon." Ardyn stated as he fixed the cuffs on his coat amusingly.
Maul couldn't even begin to process what he was told. But he could tell Ardyn was sincere with his words. So Maul held his double and a light saber and looked determined with darkness in his eyes.
"Then I will face this... Maverick, and make him squeal." Maul said with a vicious glint in his eyes. "And then I will paint the floors with his blood."
Maul saw nothing but red at that moment. One way or another, he will prevent his vision from coming to pass.
Meanwhile back up on an elevator...
Maverick. Tsunami and Ahsoka were standing in the elevator which was slowly working as they descended down to the vault floor. But still in a way it was working. They would've used the stairs. But those were guarded by clones.
So Maverick past the time talking with his team and Ahsoka in the elevator. Most Star Wars fans would dye their hair pink if it would give them this moment right now. Talking to Ahsoka Tano herself.
"So you know the entire time that he was married and kept your cool about it?" Maverick asked as he looked only a little blown away.
"Oh please. Anakin and Padme were so obvious. I'm honestly surprised no one else found out." Ahsoka said with a slight smile. "I just didn't want to complicate things. Those two are like family to me, no matter what the Jedi code says."
"I can't blame you. I would've kept the same 'kinda secret' if it means they'd have a happy ending." Tsunami smiled.
"Still if you ask me. The Jedi Code, despite its intentions, has always been flawed. And it's details like this that prove it." Maverick said with a little bit of cynicism.
"Maybe. But honestly I still believe that the code is what makes the Jedi who they are." Ahsoka said with a contemplative look. "They need to have their regulations and limits without the threat of compromise."
"the Jedi fight for peace and justice, right? So aren't they entitled to what they fight for? if you're gonna fight for a cause, then you are part of that cause." Maverick stated some facts.
"They are part of it. Just not to the full extent due to their responsibilities." Ahsoka pointed out.
"Aren't they? Think of it this way. The code says a Jedi isn't supposed to feel love, right. And yet they call each other, brothers and sisters. Friends or allies. and they said monuments to their teachers or students. Right?" Maverick asked.
"Yes. They admire each other. I did as well when I was among them." Ahsoka answered as she was trying to understand.
"And yet to admire someone is the first step towards love. The fact that you folks would always do something like cherish victory. Or root for someone. You support each other, you build each other up. but those feelings started with love. So you're not allowed to feel love, but you can have the benefits of it?" Maverick stated some words of wisdom.
Ahsoka contemplated the Mavericks' words in silence for a brief few seconds.
"Plus, you guys have another weird rule, you're not allowed to feel regret. But what did the council say when they realized that you were innocent after disowning you for a crime you didn't commit? Did they apologize? did they say how wrong they were to assume so quickly?" Maverick asked.
Ahsoka looked away and frowned with her arms crossed.
"No. Only Anakin and Master Plo Koon actually apologized. Everyone else in the council stated how me being framed and having to fight to prove my innocence was something they saw as a "great trial" that would make me a stronger Jedi." Ahsoka said with narrowed eyes. "But I honestly didn't see it that way."
Tsunami and Maverick looked at her with sympathy.
"Back in my universe we have a group of rebel fighters who are flawed but effective like the Jedi. We call it Social Media. They have a saying and I quote: A true leader is one who is humble enough to admit their mistakes." Maverick stated. "I'm not saying the Jedi are awful or that they're not good at what they do. but all man-made laws are based on society and society changes over time. And with the exception of rules made by God and sometimes parents, even laws have to change with society."
Ahsoka was deep in thought as the words soaked in. Maverick may be on to something. Maybe if the Jedi were to have followed that logic from the beginning, then maybe some of the things that have happened wouldn't have happened.
Just then the elevator doors and there was a hallway of troopers across the hall.
But not really Clone Troopers. But Storm Troopers. The same Storm Troopers from the era of Luke Skywalker and the Rebellion. They all halted in their classic white armored looks. And classic Storm Trooper helmets. And looked at the three heroes in the elevator.
"Uh...Republican or Democrat?" Maverick inquired humorously.
"Halt!" One Storm Troopers yelled as they all pointed their guns.
"Definitely Democrat!" Maverick yelped as he protected a neon wall to block their fire.
***BLASTER FIRES!***
"When did the Clones have time to change their armor?!" Ahsoka asked in confusion.
"I hate to burst your bubble but those aren't Clones. They're Storm Troopers." Maverick answered as the blasts got loud against his neon shield, then he yelled at the Storm Troopers. "Will you all keep it down?! The adults are talking!"
"Storm Troopers?" Ahsoka asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Storm Troopers are the clones' future replacements." Tsunami said.
"Seriously?!" Ahsoka asked in shock. "What are they doing here? And how are they here?"
The Storm Troopers kept firing at the neon shield. But it didn't penetrate.
***BLASTER FIRES!***
"I'm just gonna conclude that they're universe is set in the future and is clashing with yours set in the present. That's technically what an Incursion does." Maverick answered before he yelled at the Storm Troopers. "ALRIGHT ALREADY!"
Then he pushed his hand out. Causing the neon wall to slam against all of the Storm Troopers down the hall.
"There, I gave you attention! Now LAY THERE AND SHUT IT!" Maverick exclaimed at all of the out cold Storm Troopers before he exhaled in annoyance and walked ahead.
Tsunami leaned over to whisper to Ahsoka. "My boyfriend is certified insane, but he means well." She muttered.
"I can see that." Ahsoka said with a deadpan tone.
Tsunami and Maverick followed Maverick down the hall which turned to the right and lead down another hall. Just then the doors down the hallway opened as Clone Troopers exited out.
"Kill the traitors!" A Clone Trooper yelled.
And they started firing. Ahsoka pulled out her riot sabers as Maverick and Tsunami summoned their keyblades. All three blocked the fire as they slash at the Clone Troopers left and right. But they didn't die by the Guardians' hands or the former Jedi.
Ahsoka flipped and twirled to avoid fire as her swing of the riot sabers kept knocking the clones out cold.
"Are ya'll mad at me?! I feel like ya'll are mad at me!" Maverick quipped as he jumped in the air and did a multi step kick combo against five Clone Troopers.
"I don't know why. It's not like you called their movies a blank waste of potential." Tsunami sarcastically said teasingly as she performed a triple air roundhouse kick to knock three clone Troopers down. "Oh wait. You did!"
"I'm not taking it back! Besides, their TV show is better, and I only like the third prequel!" Maverick snapped as he tossed two clones into five more.
Then Maverick ducked down as Ashoka leaped off his back to do a force push combo. Sending more troops down the hall to trip.
Then Maverick scanned the door next to them. And he punched it open. Causing the doors to fly off. And then Maverick gestured for them to follow.
Tsunami and Ahsoka ran ahead as Maverick came inside and used a Ice spell to freeze the entry solid.
Inside the next room. They looked to see an entire manufacturing facility of cranes. conveyor belts. and robotic arms operating to produce the armor that the Clone Troopers wear.
"What's the point of the armor if it don't stop bullets?" Maverick inquired about the troopers' armor.
"You know, I've always wondered that myself." Ahsoka said as she looked around. "With all this advanced technology, you would think they'd be able to develop some armor that was strong enough to withstand blaster fire."
As they looked around and saw that all everything was off about this place. And not because everything was powered down. But everything was turned on, and not moving an inch. They saw sparks of heat and fire from welding equipment paused mid air. And droids motionless in a working stance. As if everything was frozen in time.
"This whole room was linked to the Incursion. both the present and future have a history with this place." Maverick concluded as they walked around.
"That would explain the Storm Troopers." Tsunami said.
"But what kind of history are we talking about?" Ahsoka asked.
"Well...According to the future. From the info we gathered in the Incursion during our travels here. we found out that the Emperor managed to kill and purge every Jedi using the clones during Order 66. every man, woman and child in the order died at their hands according to this future. After they fulfilled their purpose, the clones would later on be replaced by those Storm Troopers. Kamino will later on be a training ground for them." Maverick explained the grim details.
"My God..." Ahsoka muttered with her own grim look. "We can't let this happen."
"Why do you think we're here? It may be their past, but it doesn't have to be your future...Granted you survived easily. But I mean it doesn't have to happen in your future." Maverick stated.
"We can change the future for the better." Tsunami said encouragingly.
"You're right." Ahsoka said after a moment. "And the first step to that is preventing the Clones from losing themselves to those damn chips."
Maverick couldn't agree more. As he scanned the room. He wondered if this was a bad time to say 'It's quiet. Too quiet.' Or 'I have a bad feeling about this'. but he decided not to because this franchise made both of those words cliché.
Suddenly as Ahsoka was looking around at the steel doors. She froze and held her hand up for the two keybladers to halt.
"What's wrong?" Tsunami asked.
"I sense something..." Ahsoka muttered, extending her force sense out. "A dark presence is close."
Maverick looked around as he used his extra sense to listen out. And then. Suddenly...He heard a large generator flying towards him!
***SLASH!***
Maverick turned and slashed at it with his keyblade while doing a cool pose. And then he gasped humorously.
Tsunami turned and held her keyblade up. And Ashoka turned her lightsabers on and glared. She knew he'd be here.
Maul landed with his double edge red lightsabers and looked darkly at them.
"The Maverick I presume." Maul sneered.
"HOLY SHIT! YOU'RE DARTH MAUL! Oh my God I am such a huge fan!" Maverick screamed in excitement as he went on. "Your stunts and moves were my inspiration for my choreography! I'll be in mind I had to mix a little bit of my pizzazz and swag into my moves and a little bit of funky Ninja Turtle fresh beats in between."
As Maverick kept rambling in excitement. Maul looked a bit weirded out. And Ahsoka and Tsunami looked at each other weirdly.
"But seriously! it's always been my dream being able to dual with you as you try to dismember me with sheer intent! And- made you look." Maverick quipped as he teleported.
Then he appeared behind Maul with a roundhouse kick and knocked Maul against the wall.
"Maul's against the wall~ Ow~" Maverick mimicked his Uncle Bobby before he teleported next to Ahsoka and Tsunami. Then he said to them. "The old fanboy maneuver. Worked on Venom."
It worked in his first fight with Venom. Act like a fanboy to catch his enemy off guard.
"Connor, that was brilliant. You certainly had me going." Tsunami said.
"It's official. I'm surrounded by crazy people." Ahsoka sighed in fond exasperation. "Anakin would love to meet you."
"Oh that's just adorable." Maul chuckled as he stood up and dusted himself and looked at Ahsoka. "I should be surprised that you allied with yet another who's at the center of all of this. But I am not."
"Let me guess, you want to kill him too." Ahsoka said with narrowed eyes.
"Of course. Let me guess." Maverick rolled his eyes.
"Ardyn Izunia." Maverick and Tsunami deadpanned in obvious realization.
"The Maverick knows more than what he's letting on." Maul declared.
"I'm a Maverick. A cosmic tourist, what type doesn't know a lot?" Maverick said sarcastically.
"Except you've known about our universe's history and did nothing until now!" Maul accused.
"What are you talking about?" Ahsoka asked with narrowed eyes.
"The people of his universe know everything about us. To them we are a spectacle. Entertainment for them to laugh and cry at before they selfishly resumed their own lives." Maul said out of contempt.
"Ugh! I can see where this is going." Maverick muttered and hung his head back.
"Ahsoka, that's not true. Connor and I didn't know that this universe was real until now. When we found out, we didn't hesitate to come here and save everyone." Tsunami said out of protest against Maul's words.
Ahsoka looked at the two for any sign of deception. After finding none. She came to a decision.
"What you say might be true, Maul." Ahsoka said before glaring at Maul. "But they're here now, willing to put themselves on the line to save us all ."
"There you have it. Now stand aside, Flame Graffiti. Or we'll shave those Liberty Spikes you call hair." Maverick quipped as he extended his keyblade into a trident.
Tsunami and Ahsoka stood against him as well.
"I will do no such thing." Maul snarled at the group. "I will get the answers I seek before spilling your blood. RAAAHHH!"
With a roar, Maul charged at Maverick with his double-edge lightsaber.
Maverick clashed his trident-blade with Maul's double-edge lightsaber without a struggle.
"Fine. Maximum effort!" Maverick beamed as he gan the fight first.
As Maul blocked the slashes from Tsunami and Ahsoka while he was focused mostly on Maverick who had little to no trouble blocking his attacks.
Maverick slashed to stagger Maul before he does a backflip kick and teleported behind Maul to swing against his side to make him grunt.
But somehow the pain only fueled Maul's rage and his power in the dark side.
"Raugh!" Maul then fired electricity at Maverick.
Who of course spun his trident-blade to repel Maul's electrical attack.
"Be honest with me, your name is Maul because your Mom loved to go there, right?" Maverick quipped.
Then he slashed and sent a wave of water at Maul. But Maul slashed at it. Only to block some attacks from Ahsoka from behind. Tsunami slid underneath to trip Maul, but he jumped and spun to the side and started fighting Ahsoka. Soon Ashoka blocked a forward slash as Maul pushed against her block stance.
"You've seen how your clone friends turned. How do you think the Maverick knows all of this?! He's the one with the answer to everything. And he's holding it for himself." Maul said as he was pushing against her lightsabers.
Maverick came in and grabbed Maul from the back and tossed him into a wall. Only for Maul to bounce off the wall with his replacement legs and then slash at Maverick.
"And you got this info from a hobo who can't decide whether to dress like the Mafia or the Old West." Maverick quipped as they kept clashing.
The fight kept going as Maul twirled and switched between clashing at Ahsoka and Tsunami, then he switched to fighting Maverick, Ahsoka and Tsunami. Back and forth as they gave great skill at keeping up with Maul's speed from spinning his double edge lightsaber. Luckily a keyblade is just as dense and effective against a lightsaber.
Suddenly Tsunami gathered the water around the area and formed a mini tidal wave and rushed it towards Maul.
Maul of course was hit by the tidal wave. But then a portal opened up due to the Incursion right behind Maul as he was splashed by the tidal wave.
***SPLASH!***
"NO!" Maul yelled as he fell through the portal. And disappeared in sight.
Thus ending the fight.
"Huh...Well that happened." Tsunami sighed in relief as she made her keyblade disappear.
"What just happened to Maul?" Ahsoka asked as she turned off her lightsabers.
"Either the universe is trying to correct itself. Or Maul was invited somewhere else." Maverick figured.
Just then Tsunami looked at a large door which had a sign that read Medical Vault. Written in this universe's language but she could translate it thanks to the keyblade's magic.
"Hey guys. I think we found the vault." Tsunami said, making Ahsoka and Maverick look at the door.
"You're right. This is it." Ahsoka said.
"Alrighty then." Maverick popped his fingers as he walked over.
Now that they found the Vault. They have to grab what they came for and end what's going on with the clones.
Inside the Medical Vault...
The vault was filled with pedestals with old important inventions and equipment. And racks with obsolete tech. But also books and bookshelves. Like the rest of the building it was white and metallic.
The doors were ripped open by Maverick sheer strength and he walked in. He looked around and saw a pedestal with a metallic clear container. Holding the Imperial Chip Prototype inside.
"This is it." Maverick teleported over. "I'm gonna need a second to get this open. Any wrong moments can make this thing shatter."
Maverick constructed a neon drill to unscrew the bolts from the sides of the container.
"You sure you know what you're doing?" Ahsoka asked, looking at the drill.
"Totally. I disabled forty different bombs working with the Avengers and X-Men." Maverick assured as he kept drilling.
"Heroes from his world." Tsunami added.
"Oh. Well, if you say so." Ahsoka said.
"I can tell from how Ladybug Face just spoke to you that you both had one hell of a conversation during your last spar match. What did he say?" Maverick asked Ahsoka.
"He said he wanted to lure Anakin here, so he could kill him." Ahsoka said with a grim tone. "Because he had a vision of total destruction and death and destruction. And that Anakin was at the center of it all. That he would be the one to cause it. I told him his vision was flawed..."
"You're...Almost right." Maverick cringed as he kept unscrewing some bolts.
"... What do you mean?" Ahsoka asked hesitantly.
"Well...For one. He won't tell you this, but a few nights ago. Anakin had dark visions of his own. He saw his wife dying while giving birth to his twin babies." Maverick revealed.
Ahsoka's eyes widened as she looked at Tsunami.
"It's true." Tsunami said sadly.
"What?" Ahsoka asked before looking horrified.
She couldn't believe it. Padme is pregnant?! And Anakin had visions of her dying?!
"He had this struggle since he saw his mother die in his home world. And now he's going through it again. Palpatine saw the visions and he's using them to manipulate Anakin. Giving him stories about legendary dark warriors that had similar situations. And now he's having his doubts about the Jedi, feeling like they're not being honest enough with him." Maverick explained.
"Maul said Sidius was grooming Anakin to make him his apprentice." Ahsoka muttered in horror, looking sick. "He was telling the truth. Palpatine is planning to use Anakin's fear of losing his wife and children to draw him into the dark side."
"So far at this point. Anakin found out the truth about Palpatine. If it wasn't for this Incursion, he would've had the ace in the hole." Maverick stated.
"The what?" Ahsoka inquired.
Of course Ahsoka wouldn't get that joke. Golf is probably a different game in this universe.
"The...final piece of his plan I mean. Bottom line. He'll turn completely if he loses Padme. But the only way she'll die is if she looses the man she loves in the dark." Maverick stated.
"If Padme and her kids stay alive this time. Anakin will have no reason to turn." Tsunami concluded.
Ahsoka looked down at her hands before clenching them in determination.
"I won't let that happen." Ahsoka said with a determined look. "I won't let Anakin be pulled into the darkness. I will save him from this fate."
"We have to find him first." Maverick agreed as he released the last bolt. And then he removed the container. And took the Imperial Chip Prototype in his hand and grinned. "But first, let's remove Chancellor Plot Twist's cheat codes."
They both nodded as Maverick took the prototype chip and teleported out of the room with them.
Back up at the Medical Facility...
Mini-Mav was busy marching by the door like he was an experienced soldier as he was guarding the room from any intruders. While Rex was doing the same and every now and then he was checking the computer to make sure nothing had changed on the terminal.
Needless to say Mini-Mav got so bored with his guard duty that he started to make quotes from bad movies to see if it would make the situation worse just to make it exciting.
"One man...Alone! Betrayed by the country he loves...To a point! Surrounded by cosmic tourists! And a little bot with God-like weapons and a charm beyond all! With his friends gone! He must act!" Mini-Mav narrated to himself.
At least he didn't make those lines worse than what they already were.
Just then Maverick teleported back into the room with Ahsoka and Tsunami. Much to their relief.
"Whoop! Nevermind!" Mini-Mav beamed.
"You got it?" Rex asked them.
"Yeah. We got it." Ahsoka said with a smile.
"The ladies were a big help, mostly your ex employee over there." Maverick quipped gesturing to Ahsoka who just grinned as Maverick made his way over to the terminal . Then Maverick said to Tsunami. "Sorry Hun, but you did the best you could."
"That's okay. You weren't much help either." Tsunami said teasingly with a smug look. "Your mouth did all the work."
"Oooh. Baby's got spice." Maverick mused as he inserted the Imperial Chip into a slot on the terminal. "Alright...Looks like Nala Se had a Decommission Protocol for a failsafe. Not one of her better ideas."
Just then as he started the Decommission Steps. Another terminal on the other end of the room turned on. Meaning that this was a 'two man' protocol.
"Alright, Call Of Duty. Are you good with computers?" Maverick asked, looking at Commander Rex.
"Yes Mav. I've had enough experience to be able to use them." Rex said.
"Good, good. Get on that other console. Input Function. Delta. 3-24590." Maverick gave the codes that were displayed as well as steps for Commander Rex to type in.
As Rex and Maverick were working on the terminals. They suddenly heard a loud banging noise from the barricaded doors.
***BANG BANG BANG BANG!***
***"WE KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE, TRAITORS! OPEN THIS DOOR NOW!"*** Jesse yelled from outside.
The Clones found them but couldn't get in.
"Ah shit." Rex spat in response to their tense moment.
"Focus. commander. Tell me when you see the progress bar." Maverick insisted firmly.
"Alright! It's here!" Rex saw on the screen.
"Input Control £ + ¥€ 3 4 R 1!" Maverick gave him the pypass codes!
"Got in!" Rex worked fast and puts the codes in correctly.
Suddenly the door started to get slammed by something big that put a dent into door. And caused the tables and generators against the door to crack.
***RAAAM! RAAAM! RAAAM!***
They knew it was a battering ram.
"I never cared much about being commander anyway." Rex sighed as he figured this would get him demoted as he put his helmet back on.
"Hang in there. The protocol is loading." Maverick assured as the progress bar was up to 20%.
But then suddenly.
***BOOOOOOOM!***
The doors were blasted open as a few of Clone Troopers entered into the room and were about to fire.
***Pistol Fire!***
Commander Rex managed to fire his neon none lethal pistols at the Clone Troopers. Knocking them out instantly. And he managed to get a few more. Tsunami and Ahsoka did their best to knock down the rest. But more were pouring it. Mini-Mav zapped a lot of them with his stunner rays. But more kept coming.
Soon the entire room was filled with Clone Troopers.
"Hold your fire!" Jesse yelled as they all halted their fire.
Jesse approached them while wearing his helmet. As he had his guns aimed at Ahsoka and Rex.
"Commander Rex. We have been given direct orders under the command of Darth Sidious to eliminate all those who are in valuation of Order 66 and any other clones who disobeys." Jesse sterny stated.
"Jesse. Listen to me! We've known each other a long time. If we don't get this right, we will be the ones committing treason! Not her, or them!" Rex argued as he had his own pistols held. In defense of Ahsoka and the Guardians.
Jesse hesitated as he felt something was off. But the Imperial Chip was affecting his judgment. And his experiences as an obedient soldier. What he was built for was stealing his free will. So he pointed his guns back at them.
"Commander Rex. You're in violation of Order 66. I accuse you of treason against the Grand Army of the Republic! You are demoted in rank of Commander and are subjected to ex-" Jesse almost finished.
When suddenly. The download completed and Maverick quickly pressed the button. A loud beep was heard.
***BEEP BEEP!***
All of the Clones in the room staggered as they all felt dizzy. Except for Rex. Ahsoka and Tsunami looked around as all of the clones lost their edge. And Maverick was smirking.
"I didn't get that last part. Ex what? His ex wife? You're gonna send him to his ex wife. I didn't know you were married. Did you know he was married?" Maverick kept quipping.
Which made Ahsoka and Tsunami giggle a bit while Rex just sighed and rolled his eyes in amusement. They would've been just holding their breath at this moment but Maverick felt the need to kill the tension.
Just then. The Clone groaned a little as they were getting back up and removing their helmets, all of them were looking either dazed, confused or both. And so did Jesse as he took his off and cleared his vision.
Needless to say. This was a clear sign that the Emperor's main act of hostile takeover for the galaxy was stripped from him. The Clones were free.
"Commander? What happened? Where are we?" Jesse asked as he came to his senses.
He obviously doesn't remember turning. So Rex took his helmet off and had a look of caring concern.
"Easy, Lieutenant. What's the last thing you remember?" Rex asked as he placed on his shoulder.
"I...Remember hearing your conversation with the Maverick over the comms. Saying that the Chancellor betrayed us all and tried to turn us using some brain chip." Jesse replied as he was recollecting what happened earlier.
It's obvious that the memories of behavior change went with the behavior change.
"I'm afraid he didn't just try. He succeeded. At least for a short time." Rex said before looking at the three guardians and Ahsoka with a smirk. "It's thanks to them that we're free."
"They had every living clone's data on this terminal. It's not just all of you. But all of the Clones in this universe are starch-free. Those chips will dissolve into brain tissue in no time." Maverick assured them all.
"Thank the maker." One of the clones said.
"So what now, Rex? Aren't we gonna take this up with the good old Chancellor soon?" Jesse asked as he said that last part with detest.
"I definitely want a piece of that old fart." One of the Clones said as the other murmured in agreement.
"Patients, my Brothers. I can promise he will answer for everything he's done." Rex said with a dangerous glint in his eyes.
"But first, we have to find Master Kenobi, and Anakin." Ahsoka said to the clones. "And we could use your help."
"Alright. First we need to-" Maverick almost said before he got a call alert on his. Gummi Phone which played the opening to Mariah Carry's Sweet Fantasy. "Uh...hold on."
Then he answered on facetime. And saw that it was Donald and Goofy.
*"Hey, Connor. Master Yoda and the Wookies are moving their camp to your location."* Goofy said over the screen.
*"Whatever you guys were doing over there is stabilizing some of the incursion."* Donald replied after.
On that note. Maverick went over to open the shutter windows and saw that the rainy sky was back to normal. No cosmic cracks or anything around the planet to indicate the Incursion.
Unfortunately the Kaminians aren't back until the Incursion is reversed. So they'll remain lost in the void with everyone else for now.
"Alright. Tell them we'll meet up with them." Maverick said to the Disney Duo. "And you're not gonna believe what happened."
*"After everything so far, I just might believe anything."* Donald sighed in exasperation.
*"See you guys soon."* Goofy said.
*"No wait! We forgot to tell him, Goofy!"* Donald quickly said.
*"Oh. Right."* Goofy said before looking back at Maverick. *"Guess what? A couple of our friends from the Marvel Universe came to help."*
"Who?!" Maverick asked in surprise.
Some people who are well known for this kind of action. That's who!
Later down at the Kamino Residential Facility...
All of the Clone Troopers that were there. Including the clones that the Guardians fought with earlier. Came along with Ahsoka and the three Guardians that helped. They were now inside of a large ten story high main lobby of the residential building. Where all clones live when they're home. It was like an advanced apartment complex.
They all came to see. Master Yoda and Uatu the Watcher come from out of a large portal. Along with the Wookies that were with them. Tarfful and Chewbacca. And Padme who was getting some help walking by the Wookie maids. C-3P0 and R2-D2 rolled in with them. Along with Donald. Goofy and Dug.
While all of the Clone Troopers came and welcomed the Wookies.
"Well, I say we've found ourselves in a much better place." C-3P0 said from next to R2-D2. "I was sure that I was about to start rusting from all that salty air.
***"Beep-Boop-Beep-Beep!"*** R2-D2 beeped in reply.
"I am not being overdramatic!" C-3P0 snapped back.
Ahsoka walked over to Padme to check on her. Needless to say. Padme already knew that Ahsoka knew. She was like family. So Padme didn't have to ask.
"Are you alright, Padme? I was told about..." Ahsoka asked as she almost mentioned her pregnancy.
"I'm alright, Ahsoka. And so is the baby." Padme said said reassuringly while holding a hand over her stomach, before giving the younger girl a warm smile and pulling her into a hug. "I'm so happy to see you again, and that you're okay."
Ahsoka hesitated at first. But she hugged Padme back. They were like sisters in a way. Even though Ahsoka always restrained any form of affection due to her past role as a Jedi. She's not anymore so no reason to not hug.
Mini-Mav walked over from below and cleared his throat and started talking like a cop. While wearing one of the Clone helmets over his small head. Which looked loose.
"Actually, Ma'am. I scanned you earlier, for injuries. Hope that didn't violate any privacy. And apparently you have two loaves of bread in the oven. One boy and one girl." Mini-Mav stated like a New York Cop.
"Bread? Can I have one?!" Dug tilted his head and panted in excitement as he knelt down like a dog wanting treats.
Mini-Mav sighed as he tossed a chocolate donut and Dug barked to go and fetch it and eat it.
Padme was confused for a moment before her eyes widened in surprise and joy. She silently gasped as she held her hand to her stomach as a bright smile adorned her face.
Ahsoka could feel something about the babies. A force that was familiar to Anakin.
"They're going to be strong. Just like their father." Ahsoka smiled at her when Padme returned.
The Senator always knew the former Jedi knew. And that's okay.
Meanwhile, Maverick and Tsunami went up to Yoda who stood with the Watcher behind him. Donald and Goofy came over to hear it as well.
"Alright, you're not gonna believe what happened. Well you will." Maverick said and added the last part to Yoda before he continued. "All the Clones had Imperial Chips that were gonna have them go bananas at any moment and they attacked us, so I found the prototype and got rid of all of them. Order 66 is history."
"Wak?! You mean we don't have to worry about the Jedi being wiped out anymore?!" Donald exclaimed happily.
"Gawrsh, that's great to hear! Now all we have to do is stop Palpatine and end the Incursion!" Goofy said happily.
"Yeah I mean granted I had to do some serious meddling to do it, but you all saw what happened. I couldn't let all those people die." Maverick said out of concern for the fact that he's been violating the world order.
"Of course you couldn't. You're the Maverick. The man with the Jurisdiction to act around the world order." Goofy said in understanding.
"And you give us permission too. So we're not gonna stand back either." Donald said in agreement.
Maverick nodded to his buddies before he looked at Yoda. "Any ideas where I can find Kenobi? He's next on our list...Retrieval list not hit list, obviously." He asked.
"Spoken to Kenobi, I have. Alright, he is. Made progress, he did, on Utapau, before the incursion began." Yoda said before looking slightly troubled. "But now, fragmented, the planet has become. Began merging with worlds of different locations and different times in our universe, it has."
Maverick nodded as he processed what Yoda was saying. "Alright. I got that. At least ninety percent of what you said. So...he's been doing a good job before everything went down in the cosmos. And the planet he's on has connected with other planets of different time periods." Maverick replied with mild humor and asked. "Did I get all of that?"
Yoda gave a hearty chuckle.
"Understand the situation, you do." Yoda said.
"Whew...That means a lot. I got my whole 'understand the situation' trait from my Uncle the King of Atlantis." Maverick remarked until he remembered as he looked at Uatu. "Oh yeah! Speaking of my world. Who are the two local neighbors that came to help?"
"You've asked just in time. They were observing the repairs you have orchestrated and now. Here they are." Uatu the Watcher stated.
The Watcher re-opened the portal to Kashyyyk. Where their camp was located earlier. Since their friends from the Marvel World had arrived there.
Then suddenly much to Maverick's surprise, flying out of the portal was the man covered in Silver. Flying on a surfboard with ease. Maverick immediately recognized him as the Silver Surfer.
And then. The God Of Thunder himself flew out of the portal with his mighty hammer. And landed in front of the Guardians and everyone else.
Maverick knew him as the Mightiest Avenger. Thor!
Thor and the Silver Surfer! Much to the shock of Maverick, Tsunami and Mini-Mav. But Maverick composed himself since he knew them well enough after spending several years on the Marvel world. And he made some introductions.
"Mel? I'd like you to meet some friends of my Uncle and his team. The Mighty Thor. And the Silver Surfer." Maverick gestured to the two cosmic marvel heroes.
"Nice to meet you both." Tsunami said with enthusiasm. "Connor's said a lot of good things about you guys."
"Aye. And hopefully a lot more than good." Thor nodded with a harty smirk.
Just then Ahsoka and Commander Rex came over to see the Maverick's friends who had just arrived.
"Greetings to you all. I am Thor. Son of Odin. God Of Thunder. And this is my good friend Norrin Radd, the Silver Surfer." Thor introduced himself and his companion.
"We have arrived to help you all stop the Incursion. For it is causing some disturbance within the Multiverse." Silver Surfer stated.
"We're glad to have the help." Ahsoka said with a friendly smile. "I'm Ahsoka Tano."
And I'm Commander Rex. Ready to bring this Incursion to a halt." Rex said with a nod.
"Your enemy is a Servant of true Darkness, named Ardyn Izunia. If he has allied with your enemy, this 'Sith Lord'. It will not be easy. But we can stop them." Silver Surfer declared.
"Aye. Tell us where to go and we'll aid you." Thor said in agreement.
"Well the first thing we need to do is find some friends of ours." Ahsoka said to the two Marvel heroes. "The first being General Obi-Wan Kenobi. The second is General Anakin Skywalker."
"Both are in the world known as Utapau. But as Master Yoda stated. It's merged with other worlds and periods of your universe. You will find both Kenobi and Skywalker there. Along with some other allies of the Guardians." Uatu The Watcher stated to everyone.
Maverick turned and whispered to Donald and Goofy. "Do you think the Emperor, I mean uh…'Our' Emperor is there too?" He whispered to them.
By 'Emperor' he obviously meant Mickey Mouse.
'I wouldn't be surprised. He always seems to go where trouble is brewing." Donald whispered back.
"If he is, I hope he's okay." Goofy whispered back.
Uatu the Watcher then opened a portal in front of the Guardians and others.
"This doorway will take you to where they are. Be careful. The danger of the Incursion you will face, is worse than this one." Uatu said with a word of caution.
Jesse walked over to Rex and the others. "You should go with them Commander. I'll stay here and watch over everyone." Jesse assured.
"Thank you Lieutenant. Keep them all safe while we're gone." Rex said to Jesse.
Maverick expected the same thing from his friends the Disney Duo.
"You don't mind watching over everyone again, do you. I know you both might be anxious for action and all." Maverick said to his friends.
"Don't worry. We got things covered here." Donald said.
"You just go out there and save the Galaxy." Goofy said.
Maverick nodded to his friends. And even Tsunami smiled gratefully.
As Padme was being carefully led by two of the Clone Troopers to one of the nearby rooms to rest. Ahsoka and Commander Rex stood with the Maverick. Tsunami. Thor and the Silver Surfer. Along with Mini-Mav who still had a Clone Trooper helmet on.
"You ready?" Tsunami asked Ahsoka and Rex.
"Ready." Ahsoka said with a nod.
"Let's find the Generals. And end this nightmare." Rex said.
On that note. the Guardians and their friends ran through the portal. And went into the world of Utapau to find the rest of the allies they need at their side.
Hopefully history isn't setting course yet.
Earlier on Planet Utapau...
In the aftermath of taking down General Grievous and taking on his army. Obi-Wan Kenobi was riding on top of a varactyl named Boga. As he was climbing down the gorge of the Utai colony. And rendezvous with a squad of Clone Troopers lead by Commander Cody.
Starships and fighter carriers and jets were still blasting at the enemy and the Clones were winning the battle.
Obi-Wan rode on top of Boga as he rode up to Commander Cody in one of the hangar decks down below the gorge.
"Commander! Contact your troops!" Obi-Wan ordered as Cody removed his helmet. "Tell them to move to the higher levels!"
"Very good sir." Cody said before remembering something and retrieving something from his belt. "Oh, by the way. I think you'll be needing this."
Cody handed Obi-Wan his lightsaber back to him after he dropped it during his battle with Grievous.
"Thank you Cody. Now let's get a move on. We got a battle to win here!" Obi-Wan said before snapping the reins making Boga run off.
"Yes sir!" Cody called out as he placed his helmet back on while Obi-Wan and Boga moved fast to where they were needed next.
But as soon as Obi-Wan passed over the bridge. The entire area shifted through dimensions. Much to his confusion. Obi-Wan was riding Boga across the dimensional wave shift and before he knew it. He was no longer on Utapau.
Obi-Wan was now riding the bridge across a desert-like cannon with ruins of the Republic. And he halted Boga to look around. Obi-Wan got off his rider as he looked evenfurther. The sound of war and blasting was gone. And he looked up to see that the sky was cracked due to the Incursion that started.
This definitely wasn't Utapau anymore. What he is standing on is supposed to be Koboh. Or at least what it will be in a few more years.
"I got a bad feeling about this." Obi-Wan whispered in confusion and concern.
***Blaster Fire!***
Obi-Wan was disturbed by the sound of gunfire from behind. As a group of Raiders in brown desert attire were one speeder bikes. Chasing after a man on a speeder bike. Who was wearing a silver looking Mandalorian armor made of Baskar.
This of course was a Mandalorian not the current present time on Planet Mandalore in its glory days. But this was someone who looked similar to Jango Fett. Only in silver Bhaskar armor and a traditional helmet.
This was Din Djarin. Someone from the future pulled into Obi-Wan's current timeline due to the Incursion.
The Mandalorian drove by Obi-Wan and yelled. "Run!"
Obi-Wan moved fast as he got back on Boga who echoed his chirps and ran fast. Obi-Wan rode Boga to match the speed of the Mandalorian as they rode together to escape the raiders. Obi-Wan turned back to see that the Raiders were then shifted by the Incursion to turn into Tusken Raiders. And then they shifted into Storm Troopers on speeder bikes. Or Scout Troopers as they're called.
"Those were the ones chasing me earlier!" The Mandalorian yelled as he rode his speeder.
"What the hell is going on here?!" Obi-Wan exclaimed as he ignited his lightsaber. "Who are these guys?! And why are they wearing Clone Armor?!"
"They're not Clones! They're Storm Troopers!" Mandalorian replied as he turned and shot some of them down with his blaster.
Three Scout Troopers were shot down with several more still chasing them. Mandalorian saw the cave entrance straight ahead. Which was the entrance to a tunnel.
"Keep on my tail! We have to drive through that tunnel!" Mandalorian told Obi-Wan.
"Alright! I just hope you have a plan!" Obi-Wan exclaimed in agreement as he followed quickly behind the Mandalorian.
So they rode ahead across a ridge. And even a ramp. As they were well synchronized. Boga matched the speed of Mando's speeder bike.
Maverick would lose his nuts if he could stand before 'The Mandalorian' right now.
As soon as the Mandalorian and Obi-Wan rode into the cave entrance. Mando pushed a trigger and caused the entrance to explode.
***Boom!***
It caused the cave entrance to explode and cut off the remaining Storm Troopers. Obi-Wan looked back and was actually impressed. But all he could do was shrug.
Suddenly another wave of the Incursion started as it caused Boga to stagger as they were almost at the end of the cave. But then Boga felt the disturbance that caused the varactyl to stumble as it was slowing down.
"Wooah!" Obi-Wan yelled as he fell into the air and he fell on his back. Thankfully it wasn't too high and he didn't fall from break neck speed. But he still groaned on the ground.
Suddenly his old friend, Anakin Skywalker walked over and knelt down with an amusing grin.
"I really can't leave you alone for a minute can I?" Anakin remarked as he helped his master up.
"Oh, Like you're any better." Obi-Wan said with a smirk as he stood up. "Where did you come from?"
"I was just on Coruscant until I ended up here with them." Anakin answered as he gestured over at Noctis, Gladiolus. Ignis and Prompto who were standing at the end of the cave.
The Cave appeared to be a secret base. More like a bomb shelter. And they were using it as a safe house. Complete with wires on the wall and metal gated walls against the stone. And light bulbs everywhere. The cave was about fifty stories long and four stories wide.
Just then. Gladiolus and Mickey Mouse approached the two Jedi's from Noctis' group.
"Good to see you again, General." Gladiolus offered a handshake to Obi-Wan.
Obi-Wan remembered Gladiolus's team a while back, during a Republic convey mission on Coruscant. It led to some complications but Gladiolus, Ignis and Prompto saved a lot of lives with Obi-Wan.
"Same. Though meeting again like this is not what I was expecting." Obi-Wan said as he shook Gladiolus' hand.
"Oh there is one hell of an explanation for all of it." Gladiolus replied and gestured to Mickey down below. "This is Mickey Mouse, Emperor of the Disney Empire."
"Hi there. I know this is all chaotic and all. But this is the result of an Incursion." Mickey greeted and explained.
"That's what he told me." Anakin added.
"An incursion?" Obi-Wan asked with a raised eyebrow and concern.
"And Incursion is caused when the borders between two worlds collide until both are shattered. In your case. Your present. And their future." Ignis explained and he gestured at the Mandalorian and the certain ex-smuggler who was shining his blaster while seated on a barrel.
The smuggler wore a white long sleeve shirt with a black leather vest jacket along with long black pants and black boots. He had short brown hair and he had a five o'clock shadow.
This was also someone from another timeline. Rather from Mando's timeline. Even if they haven't met yet…One screen that is.
The Mandalorian and the Ex-Smuggler walked over to them.
"I am Din Djarin. Mandalorian of Clan Mudhorn." Mando nodded to them.
"And I'm Han Solo, Captain of the Millennium Falcon. General of the New Republic." The Ex-Smuggler gave a smooth two finger salute.
Yep! Another fan favorite! Maverick's reaction would be unpredictable at this point. Or will it?
"Well, this is quite a lot to take in." Obi-Wan said feeling a bit overwhelmed. "It's good to meet you both. "I'm Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi."
"Kenobi, huh?" Han looked a bit surprised as he scoffed a bit. "Boy. Luke would pop a gasket if he was here right now."
For Luke Skywalker to meet a younger version of his mentor. That would be something.
"I suppose this Luke is a friend of yours?" Obi-Wan asked.
"Brother in law. Actually. But yeah he's a real big deal." Han smiled as he walked off.
"He won't say much about whoever 'Luke' is." Anakin scoffed.
"The less you know for now, the better!" Han echoed from over at the equipment table.
"That's what he told me." Anakin deadpanned.
"It's for the best. Those two are from a future that might not be the same as yours. But you should know. The Incursion started when a dark enemy of ours named Ardyn Izunia teamed up with Darth Sidious using an artifact we're after to start the Incursion." Mickey explained.
"There's more, Master." Anakin said grimly as he turned to Obi-Wan. "Chancellor Palpatine is Darth Sidious."
Obi-Wan's eyes widened in shock and horror.
"Palpatine is Sidius?" Obi-Wan crooked out before looking serious. "Are you sure of this, Anakin?"
"I'm afraid so, Master. He told me himself." Anakin said with a serious tone, making Obi-Wan looked down with a conflicted look.
"I remember Dooku telling me back on Geonosis that a Sith Lord by the name of Darth Sidious had infiltrated the Senate." Obi-Wan said grimly. "But this is even worse than we could've imagined."
"It would've gotten much worse if not for this Incursion." Ignis stated as they walked over to the others.
"But don't worry, we got this covered...We're just not sure where to go next." Prompto mused with a nervous grin.
"There's a Transmission Tower above this cave. And it's still on. I'm thinking some of us should head up there, turn it on and try to contact one of your friends." Mando suggested an idea.
"That sounds like a good idea." Anakin said with a nod.
"We should try and get in contact with Master Yoda." Obi-Wan said in agreement. "If anyone survived this incursion, it's him. He'll know what our next move should be."
"I'll go with it." Mando said with a nod as he walked with them.
Anakin and Obi-Wan's generation with Jedi were starting to have a mutual goal with the people of Mandalore. So they don't have a rough history with people like Mando. In fact he doesn't seem to be anything like Jango Fett.
As they were walking for the back exit. Mando turned around and saw little Grogu. His foundling toddled behind him while cooing. A baby version of Yoda's species in a gray baby robe.
Or the famous Baby Yoda as many from the modern world knew him by.
"Grogu..." Mando sighed as he pointed down. "Stay here. Make sure everyone is safe."
Grogu made a few baby noises and nodded obediently.
Anakin and Obi-Wan gave the baby some weirded out looks. They're not used to seeing their Master's species as a baby. That and they never met their Grogu at the Jedi Temple before.
"You know, in the worst case scenario we can always settle with him." Anakin remarked, gesturing to Baby Yoda.
"Oh sure. We'll go to him as a last resort." Obi-Wan remarked with slight sarcasm.
Gladiolus. Noctis and the others stayed behind to watch after their safe house. While Obi-Wan, Anakin and Mando went out from the back entrance to climb up to the Transmission Tower.
While they were checking an inventory of their stockpile of guns and supplies. Noctis couldn't help but wonder.
"Do you think Connor was right? About helping these people out with you-know-what?" Noctis asked Prompto.
By 'You-know-what' he meant changing everyone's future in this world. It wasn't their problem. At least not at first.
"Well, he's not wrong." Prompto said. "But he's the only one who's technically allowed to do that sort of thing. Unless of course he decides to deputize us."
"Something tells me we already are." Noctis remarked as he was picking up a crate with Prompto's help.
"Tell me about it." Prompto agreed.
He's not wrong. With everything happening with this Incursion. The Maverick will be this world's way out. The Guardians of the Depths will arrive soon with help.
And whatever happens next. The future of this Starwars Universe is about to change. History is about to change.
THAT'S ALL FOR NOW FOLKS! 🎉🎉🎉
You don't know how long I've wanted to bring Ahsoka Tano in one of these stories.😁
And I bet you all weren't expecting Han Solo. Mandalorian and two Marvel Heroes to show up, did you? 😏
But now The Clones' imperial chips are now disabled and Order 66/ The Jedi purge won't happen now. In addition, Ahsoka and Rex now knows what would've happened thanks to the Maverick and his team. And Ahsoka knows what will happen to Anakin if they fail to change history. Now she's more determined than ever to save her Master.
And since the Watcher is involved and since Thor and the Silver Surfer defends against cosmic threats. It made sense to bring them. I could've brought Captain Marvel instead of the Surfer, but I think Ahsoka is enough of a heroine for this journey. 😎
"And so is my lady." Maverick mused. 😘
"Oh Connor." Tsunami smirked.
As for where Darth Maul went. And how will the Maverick and his team meet Obi-Wan and Anakin along with everyone else? Find out in the next chapter!
