Chapter 2 Clone Cadets
Its been a week since the Universal Empire became known in the Galaxy making a huge impact on the people.
And since Palpatine had reunited with his family he was forced to leave 13 years ago. (Sora you seriously need to Pay attention cause this is getting on my nerves. If he left 13 years ago that would mean Kisara was pregnant for 8 years before she gave birth to the Twins not five! PAY ATTENTION! Start reading it more closely!)
Of course Sean had mixed feelings from certain Jedi within the Order.
One half completely supported his ideals and had their full support seeing his actions were to give people a better Future. Anakin was the most supportive in this seeing he was like him. Willing to do anything for the people.
A Fourth however were unsure since while they admitted his ideals had benefits it went against what they were taught as Jedi.
The last part was against him and wanted him removed as Supreme Commander and brought this up to the Jedi Council but even if they wanted to do something which they didn't they could do nothing at all since Sean had the support of the people and the backing of his Grandfather's entire empire which enraged many Jedi.
Right now however Sean was within a special lab that was recently built to create and improve new technology weapons.
"So far all projects are on or ahead of schedule." Tarkin said looking at various reports.
"Good. The Regime is going to be hitting the most vital parts of the Republic first. I suspect though Dooku will try to bargain with them which they may accept to gain further allies." Sean said.
"I don't doubt it. Now into another matter. Your Grandfather wants the cloning facility to be inspected to see if the empire can add additions to it and further improve their technology to produce even more clones. And he's agreed to have the empire buy all of them since the Republic has suffered a great loss of finances from purchasing them." Tarkin said.
"Which have no been replaced because of our own finances." Sean said.
"Indeed. So who shall I send to inspect the facility?" Tarkin asked.
"I'll go myself. I'm rather curious to see what the place is like. And it will further our alliance with the Republic if we can improve production results." Sean said.
"I agree." Tarkin said before Sean left.
Arriving at the temple he stood before the council with Anakin and Ahoska.
"You believe the Empire can improve the cloning productions?" Mundi asked.
"The empire controls a billion galaxies. And there are a 125 billion of them. In the galaxies we control we have our own cloning allies. Their clones are created instantly and ready for battle. I hope we can get the same results here." Sean said.
"An excellent idea." Plo said.
"So Anakin how's it feel being a master now?" Kenobi asked his former Padawan.
"I know you pulled this on me by the way." Anakin said making Sean and Ahsoka laugh while Kenobi smirked. "But honestly I'm getting used to it." Anakin said.
"Actually." Sean said getting everyone's attention. "If I may make a suggestion that can further improve our relationship between the Jedi and the Empire. Why not have Ahsoka not only learn from Anakin but also me." Sean said getting everyones attention.
"You wish to teach young Soka?" Plo asked curious.
"This way she understands more than one perspective. Learning the ways of the Jedi and learning how the Empire operates. This way it can further improve our alliance. It's no secret many of your Jedi who do not agree with my ideals want me removed like these three." Sean said narrowing his eyes on Piel, Koth and Arana who glared at him.
"Your ideals are pure genocide!" Piel yelled.
"I did not ask for your opinion Goblin face." Sean said shocking him while Ahsoka held back a snort of laughter as did Anakin.
"WHY YOU..." Piel yelled.
"Enough." Mace said stopping him. "I actually agree with this." Mace said shocking him and the other two. "Ahsoka will learn the ways of the Jedi from Anakin while also learning under you to see how the Empire operates. If what your father said is indeed true about the Empire making life better for everyone this will only mean good things for the galaxy and the Order." Mace said.
"Do you have anything to say to this Soka?" Plo asked making her smile.
"I think I can learn from both." Ahsoka said making Sean smirk.
"Then agreed these terms are." Yoda said.
"Good." Sean said as the three left.
"You cannot be serious! He will turn her into a vile monster like him!" Koth yelled.
"Excuse me?" Shaak Ti said in hologram form glaring at him.
"I don't why your defending him!" Arana yelled.
"Where you see a monster others see a hero who's willing to do whatever it takes to insure everyone's future." Shaak Ti said.
"I agree. Sean has the support of the people backing him. He's already made a good impression. People are beginning to enlist in the Grand Army of the Republic by the thousands every day." Fisto said.
"Indeed." Kenobi said.
"You are all Insane!" Arana yelled standing up. "I won't let this stand!" Arana yelled leaving.
Later
Sean on a drop ship was heading for a hanger on Kamino before it landed before he got off along with a couple of soldiers known as Onyx guard Gears.
Arriving to the Prime Minister he told them his reason for the visit.
"Commander Kruger. This...News is most surprising. We never would have thought that others across the universe had cloning advancements like ours." Lamu Su said.
"There are a total of a 125 billion galaxies out there Prime Minister. The Empire controls a billion of them. And from a couple thousand are cloners. About a tenth don't make soldiers based on principle which is fine. The others on the other hand do to give us an edge against our enemies. And with the Republic now allied with the empire the council wants Kamino's cloning operations expanded." Sean said.
"That would take time. If we had more facilities we could..." Lama Su tried to say.
"We can provide that. And improve the cloning technology. Making instant clones in seconds. Adding higher numbers to the clone army." Sean said shocking him.
"And the ones we've produced already that are still aging?" Lama Su asked.
"Continue as they are. They'll be the remains of the old generation. As for the clone army that are in training. I will observe myself." Sean said.
"Of course." Lama Su said as Sean left.
Arriving at the observing platform he was greeted by Shaak Ti making her smile.
"I was wondering when you'd arrive." Shaak Ti said.
"Just talking with the Prime Minister about upgrading their technology." Sean said kissing her making her smile as he observed several squads doing the final practice tests. "I'm impressed." Sean said before two Bounty hunters walked in.
"Sean, Allow me to introduce two of the trainers the Republic put under contract to train the cadets. El-les and Bric." Shaak Ti said.
"It is a pleasure Commander." El-les said respectfully.
"Yeah...Taking control of the entire clone army in a day is impressive." Bric said.
"When you have the will of the people ranks like that are expected." Sean said before seeing the next squad known as Domino was up.
Only 10 seconds into the training he saw the flaws in this squad.
"This one seems to be having some trouble." Sean said.
"We've noticed but they won't listen." Bric said.
"Each of them have their own ideals that interfere with them working together as a team." Shaak Ti said.
"Reminds me of my old team back then." Sean said before seeing one shot down.
"The one they call Echo never adapts to the Situation." Shaak Ti said.
Sean looked at the one up the front with a mini gun trying to do it on his own before getting shot.
"CT-782 follows his own path. He can't do it all alone." El-Les said.
And then Sean saw two of them arguing before the same thing happened.
"Arguing on the battlefield is a sure way to get killed. And the last one?" Sean asked before he gave up. "Ok I'm disappointed." Sean said shaking his head.
"If these cadets cannot get past their shortsighted selfishness, they will never come together." Shaak Ti said.
"Yes, Unity is the key to victory." Sean said before Shaak Ti activated the coms.
"99, Please send a cleaning crew to the training ground." Shaak Ti said.
"Yes, mistress, we'll take care of the mess." 99 said.
"You should tell that 99 to clean up the mess called Domino." Bric said leaving.
"Hmm." Sean said leaving.
"Where are you going?" Shaak Ti asked.
"To do what I do best." Sean said making her smile.
Soon Sean arrived at the Barracks seeing two of the cadets about to start fighting.
"Is there a problem here?" Sean asked getting their attention.
"Commander." Echo said saluting as did the rest of this squad.
"At ease. I understand this group in particular has some issues with one another." Sean said before looking at the clone known as Hevy. "You prefer to do things by yourself thinking your team will only slow you down. A man who stands alone is always destined to fail. A man with a team he can trust never fails." Sean said.
"Oh yeah?" Hevy asked.
"I would know more than anyone. I was once in a squad very much like this but only three of us." Sean said surprising them.
"Same issues?" Cutup asked.
"For a few days. Our first real battle which was unplanned forced us to get past our issues and work together to survive. We learned more about ourselves after that and really worked well as as a team. Later I earned my position and they are some of the best generals the Empire has." Sean said.
"Really?" Hevy asked.
"Yup." Sean said before looking at Echo. "Now you seem to think following orders is the best way. Untrue. Following orders blindly and without adapting only gets you so far. You need to adapt to the situation and think on your feet. That will keep you alive." Sean said before looking at Fives. "Now you know not to follow orders blindly. You know to speak your opinion when needed. Thats a good quality right there." Sean said before looking at Cutup. "The Jokester of the group." Sean said making them laugh.
"Well...I..." Cutup said.
"Theres a time and place for jokes. Off duty is fine. In battle is not ok. Those actions can get your team killed and you'll be consumed with guilt for it later. I've seen it before." Sean said making him look away before Sean approached the last one. "Droid bait? And I thought Soap was a strange name." Sean said making the men laugh. "Like Echo you think Following orders is the perfect way to insure victory. It's not. You need to think on your feet if you want to live in this war both against the Separatists and the Regime. And the later of the two is a lot worse." Sean said before he left making the group think on his words.
Before Sean left the room however though.
"I think you got through to them, sir."
Sean turned seeing a Clone who had some disfiguration.
"99 If I recall correctly." Sean said.
"Yup." 99 said.
"You care about this squad don't you?" Sean asked.
"I care for all my brothers. Most have tried to get through to them to make them work together. But you actually look like you got through to them easily." 99 said.
"It's a gift of mine if you will. I know how to make people get past their differences for the greater good." Sean said leaving.
Arriving at his temporary quarters he sighed as he removed his jacket, gloves and shirt.
"Theres a sight I enjoy the most." Shaak Ti said behind him making him look seeing her coming out the shower in nothing but a towel wrapped around her making him smirk.
"I could say the same about you." Sean said making her giggle as they sat on the bed.
"I assume you got through to them?" Shaak Ti asked.
"I always do. Now the final test begins tomorrow so we should get some rest." Sean said making her giggle as she dropped her towel.
"And here I thought we could have some fun." Shaak Ti said making him chuckle.
"Tempting but I prefer it in a place where the odds of us getting caught are next to none." Sean said making her smile as she kissed him.
"Fair enough." Shaak Ti said before he removed the rest of his own clothes before she licked her lips seeing his large manhood making him chuckle as he kissed her making her moan before they got in bed before he pulled the sheets over them as she fell asleep with her face in his very muscled chest from countless hours in training and in battle.
Next morning
Sean and Shaak Ti looked at the Clone Cadets that Bric and El-Les trained before the former stepped up.
"Gentlemen, Who wants to be an ARC trooper?" Bric asked.
"I DO SIR!"
"You have to pass your final test first. Meet Commander Colt of the Rancor Battalion and Sports Master of the Empires most elite." Bric said as both stepped up. (Sportsmaster from Young Justice)
"I want you troopers to remember, We're shoulder-to-shoulder on those frontlines. Brothers. And sometimes we may quarrel, but no matter what, we are united." Colt said.
"Now, let's see what you boys are made off. BRAVO SQUAD!" Sportsmaster yelled getting said squad to step up. "You boys passed the training course in Record time. Lets see what you boys got." Sportsmaster said before they all headed off.
Arriving at the training room Sean and the other high ranks were on the platform.
"Start the simulation." Sportsmaster said getting El-Les to begin the course as Bravo squad moved forward perfectly.
"I'm impressed." Sean said watching them move in flawlessly.
"Not bad." Sportsmaster said before they secured the flag.
"You trained them well. Who's next?" Colt asked.
"The Domino squad." El-Les said nervous as Bric laughed.
"And how are they?" Colt asked.
"I think we'll be surprised." Sean said confusing them.
Soon Domino squad appeared before they began.
To El-Les and Bric's surprise they actually were doing perfectly.
"What the? These guys were completely sloppy yesterday. How'd this happen?" Bric asked making Sean chuckle.
"Lets just say I had a talk with them." Sean said making Shaak Ti smile.
Soon they reached the Citadel.
"Ok time to scale this thing." Hevy said as they reached for the ascension cables.
Only they were there.
"What the? Where are the cables?" Fives asked.
"They aren't on our belts." Cutup said.
Sean and the others saw this.
"Whats going on? Where are their ascension cables?" El-Les asked.
"Must have gotten lost." Bric said making Sean look at him as El-Les grabbed him.
"What did you do?" El-Les asked before he shrugged him off.
"I thought you said you had faith they'd be the best. Well, the best pass. No matter what." Bric said.
"Commander, you've got to stop this. This is unfair to the Cadets." El-Les said.
"You think the Enemy will play fair? No. Besides...I don't think I need to. Look." Sean said seeing them shoot the Turrets shutting them down before they climbed them.
"Well, would you look at that." Colt said.
"Creative little clones." Bric said.
"No unit has shown such ingenuity." El-Les said as the squad reached the objective.
"Looks like you helped them more than you let on." Shaak Ti said to Sean.
"As I always do." Sean said.
Later
After the final test was over the cadets completely passed their tests and become troopers to fight for the Republic and Empire against the Separatists and Regime.
"So who are you placing here to help train the the cadets?" Shaak Ti asked.
"Special forces Major Jax. He will take over your position. I would rather have you by my side using your talents." Sean said making her grin. (Jax from Mortal Kombat 9 and yes with the metal arms)
"You are such a flirt." Shaak Ti said kissing him before a portal opened up which they stepped through before arriving back at Coruscant.
Thats when Dawn jumped him.
"AH! Little brat!" Sean yelled making Shaak Ti giggle as she picked her up.
"Hi Shaak Ti." Dawn said making her smile.
"Well, you've certainly grown since the last time I saw you a year ago." Shaak Ti said putting her down.
"And how did you two meet?" Palpatine asked walking to them with Sarah and his wife next to him.
"Well..." Sean tried to say before Arana along with over a Dozen Jedi approached him
"Uh oh." Sarah said hiding behind her father while Dawn ran to him.
"What do you want?" Sean asked.
"You are gonna step down as Supreme Commander and leave this galaxy." Arana said.
"Excuse me?" Kisara asked glaring at him.
"Your son is a vile monster. He wipes out everyone he doesn't like!" Arana yelled.
"Not true. He wipes out those the Empire are against such as criminal empires and slavers and entire species that bring nothing but suffering." Kisara said.
"Then you and the Empire must leave! The Jedi will go to war with your vile empire and win!" Arana yelled.
"Now Master Jedi, let's be civilized. If you saw the good things the Empire brings you would not think this." Palpatine said.
"Yeah Jerk." Dawn said.
"Dawn, Stay out of this." Kisara said making her pout.
"You all need to leave. I don't think the council will approve of this." Sean said.
"I am the council. ATTACK!" Arana yelled as his Jedi tried to charge before Kisara had a white glow to her.
"I'm going to count to three and you will leave or be punished...One." Kisara said.
"Oh dear." Palpatine said knowing what was about to happen.
"You think you can scare us!" A female Jedi asked.
"Two." Kisara counted.
"We are Jedi! We are unbeatable!" Arana roared.
"Three." Kisara finished before her body began to change shocking the Jedi.
"Oh no. You girls might wanna cover your eyes." Palpatine said making them do that.
Kisara stood before the Jedi as a White dragon with blue eyes roaring at them making them tremble in fear before her mouth glowed and blasted them into nothing as if they never existed. (I think you can all clearly guess what this is from a certain Card game)
Turning human Kisara sighed as her husband walked to her.
"Are you ok?" Palpatine asked.
"Yes. I just honestly hate that arrogance diminishes wisdom. I had hoped the Jedi Order as a whole would not be put on the list. But after that I have no choice." Kisara said.
"List? What List?" Shaak Ti asked.
"The List of groups that need to be changed by force. The order isn't the first group or organization the Empire has dealt with that can't see the good we do in our actions. So some of those groups had to be eradicated. Most of them changed of course willingly. But some had to be destroyed or had to have what we call a cleansing. The Later meaning eliminating those we knew would not change their ways due to arrogance." Sean said.
"And now because of this the Order is on the list of the cleansing part since it's well known a large majority supports the empire's actions." Shaak Ti said.
"Exactly. Since a Majority supports the empire it's not marked for termination." Sean said.
"I see." Shaak Ti said.
"I've seen my fair share of groups like the Jedi go through this in my one hundred thousand years of living. It's sad but it's required for the greater good." Kisara said before getting serious. "But this act will not go unpunished I'm afraid." Kisara said.
Later
"Your limiting the military Authority of the Jedi?" Kenobi asked surprised by Kisara's order.
"We do apologize for what Arana and the others did. That was not what we wanted." Mace said.
"I believe you but clearly you knew he would do something and did nothing to stop him. When a Threat is clear as day you need eliminate it or people could die. And he threatened me and my son. So your actions if he had succeeded would have negative consequences worse than this. So by my order the Jedi have limited authority." Kisara said making them sigh.
"We understand completely." Mundi said.
"Good. Cause if another incident occurs...My Father might get involved and you don't want that. You think I'm powerful...You haven't seen the very definition of it." Kisara said leaving.
"This is unacceptable." Koth said.
"Indeed. Arana has brought a bad impression to our order." Plo said.
"Not that. He had every right to demand they leave! Whats unacceptable is she's restricting us like we're nothing but dogs." Koth said.
"Maybe you're not paying attention! Arana threatened her and her son with her five year old daughters right in front of her and her husband! What do you think might have happened if they got injured in that fight or worse!" Shaak Ti said.
"I would have supported that outcome!" Koth yelled.
"ENOUGH!" Mace yelled shocking him as he glared at Koth. "There will be no more actions against her or her family. And if we find out you or Piel plot something against them we will turn you over to the empire without question." Mace said shocking them.
"YOU CANNOT DO THAT!" Piel yelled.
"Oh yes we can." Fisto said angering them.
Meanwhile
"I'm surprised your not doing the cleansing operation now." Tarkin said as Sean looked at new weapon designs.
"For now we need all the help we can get. And I need to mark down those for that operation so no one who's an ally gets injured. When that List is complete and if they pull something again...Then I will give that order. I have no intention of attacking right away when we've just arrived." Sean said.
"Fair enough. Now onto our new enlisted. I've selected four to be part of an elite squad led by Sargent Forge." Tarkin said leading him outside.
Arriving at the Barracks they saw Forge inspecting his new squad. (Picture Crosshair's squad but with original Clone armor still black)
"Well, Tarkin looks like you picked a good squad." Forge said making him smirk.
"I didn't earn my rank by picking random people. Allow to introduce myself. I am Grand Governor Tarkin. A high ranking official within the Universal Empire. I am in charge of hundreds of Galaxies to insure there are never any major complications. You all have been selected for an elite squad under Sargent Forge's command. More and more will be placed in time." Tarkin said.
"Every day thousands of people join the ranks every day because of the Empire. Which is good since it means the Republic will have more soldiers to fight not only the droid army by the Regime as well. Designations." Sean said.
"ES-01."
"ES-02."
"ES-03."
"ES-04."
"As you all were." Tarkin said walking off before the rest did minus ES-02.
"Something you need?" Sean asked making her smile.
"I'm looking forward to fighting beside you, sir." She said making him smirk.
"Got a name?" Sean asked.
"Elita." Elita said.
"Well, Elita. I look forward to seeing how you perform." Sean said walking away as she smirked at him.
Authors Note: And with that things are getting interesting. Now the Republic has both Clone and willingly enlisted soldiers added into its ranks which is a good thing. Arana and many Arrogant Jedi are Dead. The Jedi have willingly save for two accepted that the Empire is calling the shots in the war against Dooku and the Regime. And now Crosshair's squad has appeared and they will do better than serving the Galactic Empire in this story. And Sora incase you clearly aren't getting it Palpatine is not evil in this story. The Sith is just a means to an end for him to earn his place in the Empire to be with his family without them being targeted. Which also means Order 66 Does not actually exist. And while Maul was his student he didn't train him from the beginning but took over his master's position to do so before also slaying him in his sleep. Now there will be plenty of other surprises in store for this new and improved story. I will try to keep updating it but my main focus is on the Avatar's Guardian. Read, Review, Fav and Follow.
