Welcome everyone to the next chapter of the expelled jedi continuation.
I do not own Star Wars or naruto.
Satine was worried. She had gotten a message a few hours ago about Mandalore being attacked by Death Watch.
She knew that Mandalore's security forces would be no match to the well trained and battle hardened exiled mandalorians and would soon fall to the Death Watch. Now she had no choice but to appeal to the Republic senate to send a small force to drive out Death Watch and establish order.
She knew that if she went to Mandalore alone, she would be killed and she had no real supporters other than the neutral systems, which were leaning towards the Separatists. There was no third party that she could get help from. So it was down to the Republic she could only choose the Republic.
She had been waiting for almost 6 hours for the senate to get ready and hear her request for help. Sometimes she hated the bureaucratic system of the senate. When they were finally ready, she stepped on her Repulsor Pod that floated to the centre of the senate chamber.
"Senate of the Republic, as I speak to you my home world, Mandalore, has been invaded by an terrorist organisation known as the Death Watch. They have wiped out the established government and have the Mandalorian system under control. I implore you to aid Mandalore in its time of need!" She spoke as the many members of the Senate whispered amongst one another.
"While I would gladly dispatch a liberation force to free Mandalore from the dastardly clutches of the Death watch, I simply cannot.
Mandalore is a neutral system. Due to this, I cannot legally send Republic aid." The Chancellor said sadly. Though on the inside he was smirking, allowing the war to spread to even more systems was always welcome to him.
Satine ground her teeth.
"But the true Mandalorian government is now in exile; surely the neutrality that Mandalore holds is also shattered? This leaves Mandalore as a rogue planet that could either attack the Republic or Join the Separatists and having the Separatists take hold of the Mandalorian system would spell doom for the Republic as the mines of Mandalore still hold a great number of raw resources for the Separatists Droid army." Satine countered.
She didn't want Mandalore to join the Republic, but at least this way there was a reason for the Republic to go in and drive out Death Watch. This way, Mandalore could retain its neutrality after she could resume power. Padme's Repulsor pod then came forward and floated next to Satine's
"The Duchess makes a good point, perhaps we should send Republic forces to-" Anything Padme was about to say was cut off as the main Holoprojector of the senate chambers turned on and the lights dimmed inside the chambers. The hologram was that of Naruto, the Governor of Mandalore's moon.
"Honourable Senate, my name is Naruto, governor of Mandalore's moon, Concordia. I am aware that you all know what has happened on Mandalore. Rest assured, I have exercised my emergency powers and have driven out and destroyed Death Watch…" Naruto said as Satine gave a sigh of relief; it seems like Republic intervention was not needed after all.
"That being said. Mandalore's old government was deposed by Death Watch. Currently Mandalore is without government; however I again used my emergency powers to instate a new government, with me in charge." He said and already the senate did not like where this was going.
"As such. I hereby declare Mandalore a free and independent system and reinstate the old Mandalorian military for the sake of safeguarding Mandalore. Henceforth, I shall be known as… Mandalore the Reclaimer." He said as he stepped back and the figure of Vizsla was brought forward and pushed to his knees a bag on his head.
The bag was removed and vizlas bloody and beaten face came into view, " I am the true Mandalore, this fool is nothing but an upstart. The death watch would be nothing without me. Nothing!" blood and spittle flew out of his mouth.
Naruto said nothing as he took a curved executioner's blade made of pure Beskar from outside of the holoprojectors view.
With a single swing, Pre vizla was no more. His head fell and rolled out of sight. Many of the senators left or were sick in the senate room.
"Let this be a lesson, all those who dare invade Mandalore will find no quarter. Here and now Mandalore shall be reborn into the great force it once was!" With that, the hologram was cut off.
This was a message, not just to the Republic. But to the Galaxy. Satine had the look of horror on her face while everyone in the chamber room was too stunned to say anything.
Manda'lor, that was a title that was long forgotten, but the scars left from the past Manda'lor's and their crusades had not been forgotten. They were warriors that could face Jedi's and Sith's alike. Mandalore had been irradiated for exactly this reason.
After all, the Clones of the Republic military were all Clones of a Mandalorian warrior. They had to stop this new Mandalore before he could start a new crusade. For Satine however, it was all too much. Yet again she was betrayed by those she chose to trust and by a former Jedi no less. She was thrown out of power by him and now he had begun the revival of an old culture.
"I believe that it is in the galaxy's best interest that we all vote on what to do with this Mandalore. Should this despot be left unchecked, they would grow in power to a point where they can oppose the Republic. I vote in favour of sending a Republic task force to put an end to Mandalore's regime." The Chancellor stated. The vote was almost unanimous; the Republic was going to war with Mandalore.
Satine a few minutes later:
She could not believe it. Her home world, Mandalore, was now at war. Years of building peace were shattered in a single moment. What was even worse was that it wasn't Mandalore that started this war.
Naruto did what he did as a message to stay away from Mandalore, but the fear of another Mandalorian Crusade trumped everything and the Republic had declared war on Mandalore. She heard the door open and Padme strolled into the room. She had a concerned look on her face.
"Are you ok, Satine?" She questioned her. Satine just sighed sadly.
"War has come to Mandalore and you are asking me if I am ok? I am not ok. I was betrayed yet again by the ones I trusted, but this time all of Mandalore pays the price and that price is war." Satine said as she sat down. Padme took a seat next to her. She could understand what Satine was feeling to a certain degree.
"I know that it's hard. When war came to Naboo, many of my people died. felt helpless, but do not worry. Mandalore shall be free and the Republic will make sure of it." Padme said, trying to give hope to her fellow senator.
"I hope so. I never thought a former Jedi could do such a thing. Tell me, did you know him before he was expelled? It seemed like it back when you met him." Satine questioned. Padme stiffened at the question of her… relationship with Naruto.
"Yes, I knew him before his expulsion. He was one of the Jedi's sent to help free Naboo." She answered though satine was about to signal for her to continue . The door then opened as Obi Wan entered the room.
"Are you alright Satine?" He questioned her. She just nodded sadly at him. Kenobi just sighed. To her, Mandalore was everything and that is why she had tried so hard to build peace and now it was gone.
"Do not worry. A fleet has already been dispatched to take the new Mandalore down." Kenobi said. The Republic had mustered up a fleet consisting of 6 Venator-class Star Destroyers, 8 Acclamator-class assault ships. It was quite the force that was assembled, but the real battle would be on the ground as they knew that Mandalore had no apparent orbital superiority would easily be in their favour.
The planet itself however would be a hard fought battle since all of the cities are located inside the large domes, and Mandalorian warriors are one of the best warriors in the galaxy. Satine only hoped that they would succeed without much bloodshed.
Mandalore:
Naruto stood on the bridge of the forbidden valour, a munificent class warship as he prepared for combat.he turned his head slightly watching as the door opened and Bo katan walked onto the bridge helmet held under arm
"You know that the Republic will send a fleet to remove you from power, right?" Bo questioned at which Naruto nodded.
"I want them to attack us. That way we can get other planets to join us. After all, the Republic is known to leave neutral systems alone, but say if the Republic attacks a neutral and independent system, then they would lose face in the eyes of the galaxy." Naruto said.
"I am surprised that you had it all planned out, Vizsla never thought that far when it came to securing Mandalore's future under his rule." She stated. Naruto scoffed at the mention of that man's name.
"Vizsla was a short sighted fool. He didn't seek to build his own army, but rather looked to others to give him an army. A true Mandalorian knows that everything is earned, not given to you." Naruto said as he waited for the Republic fleet. The plan was simple. The Republic was unaware of the fact that he had a large enough navy to stop any and all invasions of Mandalore and the fact that he had smarter Droids. Turning on a Holoprojector, he pressed a few buttons and a simulation started to play.
"The plan is simple: once they enter the system and get close to Mandalore, we will jump out of hyperspace behind them. With us in the rear and Mandalore to the front, they would have two choices, head straight for Mandalore which would leave their rear exposed or turn back around to face my fleet and that would leave the sides and rear of their ships exposed to the cannons on concordia." he paused as Bo looked at him in confusion.
"Cannons?" she asked.
"yes, turbolasers implaced just after i arrived using the droids, however they're still new so we cannot rely on them"
He continued on."The Republic ships have many weaknesses, the rear and the sides being the greatest along with the top. They are designed for a full frontal attack and as such most of the armour and shielding is installed to the front." Naruto explained as the simulation played out before him.
"I am guessing that you know all of this from your experience with the Republic?" She questioned.
"Yes, we were taught our ships weaknesses in-order to prevent us from showing them." He answered. Pressing another button, he showed a few Mandalorian starfighters.
"You will be leading the Mandalorian fighter squadrons in the battle. Droids are good, but having real pilots is better." He stated.
She simply nodded but before she went down to the hangers she gave him a kiss on cheek, leaving him frozen with his eyes wide as concordia itself. All he heard was giggling as she left the bridge.
"Ah, sir, the Republic fleet has entered the system." A Droid reported, but he received no answer.
"You think he's having a malfunction?" Another Droid questioned.
"No you idiot, he's not a Droid." The first Droid answered.
"How am I supposed to know that?" The second Droid countered. The first Droid just gave him a… blank look? Why were Droids so stupid sometimes?
"Sir, the Republic fleet has entered the system." The Droid said again, this Naruto looked at the Droid.
"R-right, have the fleet jump out of hyperspace." Naruto nodded to which the Droid gave out the ever immortal 'Roger Roger' response. Bringing his hand up to his cheek, he blushed. Wait? Did he blush? And what was up with his heartbeat? It was all out of whack. Dammit! Focus! He had a battle to win, an invasion to stop, and a woman to ask out… wait what?! Ask who out!?
"What is this feeling?" He thought to himself. He felt like this before… but this feeling was far greater than what he felt the first time around.
"Sir, the Republic ships are in range." A Droid reported. Naruto once again shook his head. There was a battle at hand right now. Looking ahead he spotted the semi-large Republic fleet sent to 'liberate' Mandalore as they would put it and he could feel their arrogance of a quick victory.
They hadn't even spotted him when he was right behind them! Guess he would have to make an example of them.
"Fire when ready." Naruto ordered, his flagship guns sending red lances of light toward the unprepared republic warships, around him his warships opened fire in a crescendo of destruction and pain.
This chapter has been modified quite a bit as will the next chapter be. I'm going to change up somethings so when my personal chapters drop they'll fit easier.
