21. Chapter 21

The Forced Rider 555 C21

I have had an idea for another Star Wars story, I won't discuss it at this time because I am not sure if I will ever get the chance to do it with the limited free time I do have. So Please enjoy this slow update.

I own nothing.

:Chapter Start:

Naration

Forces of Chaos intend to fight for control as the Clones Wars gains a third side in the conflict. Junk Wolf intends to find allies but first will need to help the Republic from loosing Kamino.

AstroMega ship-Ten minutes out from Kamino-Main Bridge

Junk Wolf was repairing and upgrading the systems of the AstroMegaShip, a slow process while the ship is travelling between planets. What he needed was a fully modified Automated repair facility, which would take years to complete, and a couple dozen staff who understood the ships technology, which would take even longer to teach. The number of people who understands the technology, Five, two of whom were one the ship and the future sixth was currently crouching next to Junk Wolf. Ahsoka handed a laser welder to Junk Wolf as he finished upgrading power capacitors.

Ahsoka asks, "I have to know, How difficult would it be to actually build more of these ships?"

"With current technology and available materials?" Junk Wolf states as he attaches the panel to the wall, "A couple of years for the first one, then it should take less time as you go on. Except there is one issue with this. It increases the chances of those with plans of selfish intent. But even then, if an entire army was made, one exploited Design flaw and there you have an army of giant statues."

Ahsoka then states, "Yeah, that could be trouble. Dark Specter though has how many monsters?"

"If he rations what he has and only uses one monster per planet, he would be able to hold maybe a hundred worlds unless he can find a way to create more once he runs out. Even then he will need individual troops like droids or clones but stronger, more mindless though."

Junk Wolf and Ahsoka walked through the hall and into the main bridge to see Plo Koon and Kenobi were speaking with Alpha and Deca about what defences they can mount on Kamino. Which turned out to be very limited. Kenobi was rubbing his head as he says, "This is going to be difficult if Dark Specter intends to join in on the attack. Looks like we will need specific equipment."

Plo Koon was stroking his breathing apparatus as he says, "That is only if he has an aquatic creatures in his control and as you said he has not yet awakened all his monsters."

Junk Wolf spoke up, "We can expect monsters of all types. It really depends on if Dark Spectre will be smart. For now though, Where is Skywalker?"

Kenobi answered, "He asked Deca and Alpha how to get into the battle bridge to learn the controls."

Junk Wolf sighs as he says, "Let me guess, Misato is with him?"

"Yes," Plo Koon answered before adding, "For some reason he was adamant to learn the control for in his own words, 'His Ship.' He was very forceful when I stated this was your ship."

Junk Wolf frowns as he looked sad before straightening out and saying, "Okay, well for now let them study up," he then pressed some keys and says as a map of what appears to be a space station is shown on the main screen, "From what I know this facility is floating above the ocean, as long as the have sensors in the water we should have plenty of warning if they attack from the water."

"What makes you say that they will be attacking from the water?" Ahsoka asks.

"They do have water based droids. I need more information before I can make a full plan," Junk Wolf states simply before adding, "Skywalker's fleet will already be at the planet then we should drop them off before we head to the surface. We will have Deca hide the AstroMegaShip close by in case we need more power."

"You are not going to have this ship get targeted. It does not have the ability to fight against an entire fleet. Especially without the additional upgrades that are going to take months," he goes over the map of the Kamino facilities as he says, "They will target key systems or facilities. The DNA storage, the cloning chambers the Barracks' and this appears to be a storage room that is self contained," he starts typing away and frowns heavily as he focuses on this before saying, "There is nothing on the galactic servers or the Republic Databases," he back tracks the information before saying, "It was removed from the servers Shortly after the Republic was made aware of my presence," he frowns and starts hacking only to frown further until he says, "Deca, when we dock please keep trying to work out what the deal of this room."

"Of Course," Deca answered before simulations then started playing on the map. Deca spoke again, "I have begun running simulations of the coming attack. Unfortunately I will be unable to confirm what plan they will use. Though from the equipment designs that has been uploaded to my systems, they would need to deploy twenty Trident Class Assault crafts. It would take a fleet ten times the size currently in route of Kamino," as another map appears, showing the location of the Seperatist fleet's staging area.

Kenobi blinks before asking, "What is the range of this ship's navigational sensors?"

"The entire galaxy," Junk Wolf comments before adding, "But a detailed scan of the entire Galaxy will take months only to start over and the information to be out of date after a couple days." He stepped away from the terminal and transformed into Faiz and says, "We are about to reach Kamino."

Dark Fortress-Other side of the Galaxy-That moment.

Dark Specter was pacing angrily as he found out what happened to his Monsters and demands, "What were those idiots thinking," using its vines to destroy a light fitting before shouting, "Send another!" One of his soldiers went to the side of the large room and grabbed a Data Card and walked over to the machine as Dark Specter adds, "Send it at the Republic I don't care where!"

With that guard released the monster within the card and sent it off with the coordinates they received when contacted last by their spy in the Republic.

Kamino-Docking Platform-shortly after the AstroMegaShip landed.

The AstroMegaShip opened its left hand landing strut allowing the four Jedi, two Riders and a gaggle of droids to walk out minus Alpha, Clank and Bif, who were repairing the ship. Faiz slowly walks behind the rest of the group as the Jedi speak with Skywalker's dark blue Clone Captain along with the orange Clone Commander that works with Kenobi. Kenobi spoke, "Cody, how are the troops?" No one noticed the white orb that is boom stick floating into the facility.

"Sir, the troops are working with those yet to complete their training to prepare them for the coming assault. We have organised that those who had only just started combat training to act as Bottle Necks in training rooms, especially the main training rooms. Junk Wolf's idea to convert the training equipment to work as directed Droid Poppers. The Kaminians managed to modify some of the corridors to deploy counter measures when the internal sensors do not detect life signs," Cody states while the two leading clones smirked hard.

Faiz was not paying attention as he was in a daze caused by something close by. Accel slapped Faiz's helmet getting him to shake his head and Ahsoka to ask, "What's up Junky?"

"I don't know," Faiz states as he rubs his helmeted head. The group walked into the Facility as the AstroMegaShip rose into the air and flew back into orbit before getting some distance from the planet. Faiz followed the three older Jedi and Xia, while Ahsoka walked with Faiz as R4G3R, R2D2 and Accel followed the group. They reached the main control room where an older Togruta woman jedi was speaking with some of the long necked Kaminoians that remained at the facility.

Ahsoka spoke, "Greetings Master Tii."

"Padawaan, Masters, Skywalker," Master Shaak Tii greeted before looking to the two riders and says, "I believe you two are the riders?"

Faiz nodded while Xia states, "That was my ship out there."

Faiz shakes his head while Ahsoka spoke up, "No it's not."

Xia turned to speak only for Faiz to speak up, "Did the Kaminoians find anything in the water or have anything recently delivered that could be leading the Seperatists here?"

The white long necked scientist of the facility who simply says, "Besides the cloning facilities there is only supplies of food, clone armour and weapons."

Faiz nods before saying, "I think I will have a look around," with that he walks out the room with Accel following after him. Ahsoka excused herself to follow the pair as R4G3R went to a terminal.

Xia spoke up, "Someone need to keep an eye on that monster," his tone was even but under his helmet he was smiling sadistically.

Kenobi spoke up, "The clones are already patrolling the city. Junk Wolf is a stranger so he will be watched. Though I have to ask is there any units from other divisions in the city?"

Shaak Tii frowns before answering, "Task Force 99. Referred as the Bad Batch among the other clones. Though they have not been cleared for combat at this time. Other than them, there is no one else."

Skywalker then comments, "I will be in Orbit with the fleet."

"I will join you," Plo Koon states easily.

Kenobi continues, "Until the Seperatists attack we cannot confirm their attack plan. For Now we focus on the defence of this facility."

With that the Jedi and Xia begun discussing all the different plans they may need to use.

Secret Storage Room-A couple hours later.

On the strange machine the timer on the pod, 0000:000:06:00:01, 0000:000:05:59:59. The room was empty as Boomstick smashed into a window a couple times creating a crack before spinning on the spot dizzily before noticing the button to unlock the door and flew to it an begun to laser on the door only to sigh for a couple minutes before suddenly creating a rifle with two barrels that blast the door controls opening the door and launching the gun backwards leaving a bunch of metal pellets in and bouncing off the wall. The gun imbeds itself on the wall behind Boomstick as the door opened allowing Boomstick inside as the main room was locked down.

Seperatist Fleet-Four hours later-One Hyperspace jump away from Kamino.

Grievous stood on the bridge of this fleet's main ship. He was being patient as more ships arrived bringing his total number of ships up to six. The problem with their coming plan was that the hyperspace Generator was from ships that were on their last legs to save money for other projects. It was this time that the Communicator System where activated revealing Count Dooku and Assaj Ventress. Count Dooku spoke, "Grievous, you are required to step up the time table of the attack."

"For what reason?" Grievous questioned.

"Additional targets have been discovered at the Facility. An Ancient Vessel was found in the water. My Master believes that the technology of the vessel may prove affective in the current situation. Grievous you will secure this technology while Ventress will continue with the original mission," Count Dooku ordered before commenting, "Be warn though Junk Wolf and other Kamen Rider will be on the surface."

Assaj Ventress spoke, "Your will shall be done. There belts will become trophies."

With that Dooku disconnected his contact with his assassin and general. Grievous looked to Ventress and asks, "Have you prepared your part of the plan?"

"Just get our cargo to the meeting point," Ventress ordered before signing off.

Grievous turned to his droids and shouts, "Prepare the invasion fleet!"

Kamino-hallways with Faiz and Ahsoka

Faiz slowly walked through the halls of Kamino, with Ahsoka silently walking with him, while Accel slowly walked behind them. Faiz was looking at a map that floated above his wrist and could only frown under his helmet as Ahsoka talked, "Okay you have been silent long enough what is wrong? Because we have been silently walking through this place for hours."

Faiz sighs and says, "I am still processing what happened to me," Ahsoka actually stopped walking before quickly catching back up to Faiz as he continues, "I am dealing with memories not my own some overlapping while others are centuries apart. Not all of the were good in a sense."

Ahsoka frowns before asking, "Then what was that green water?"

"It was the final resting place, storing what remains of our being. Whether it is memories or abilitys," he looks down at his shadow that was of his monstrous form moving on it's own, but not noticed by anyone else they passed. Faiz then goes on to say, "I am not sure if I am myself anymore," so lost in thought he returned to being silent.

That was when the facilities sirens went off and a clone spoke, "Seperatist forces have entered the system, all troops to battle positions!" With that the three rushed into towards the command centre while outside Skywalker and Master Plo Coon flew into orbit in their fighters. After a few minutes of running they found Kenobi and Shaak Tee seeing a diagram of the fleets in orbit.

Ahsoka spoke up, "How many?"

"Twelve Cruisers are slowly flying towards Kamino and have released a full compliment of Droid Fighters each. Though they released them early and the cruisers are not slowing down," Kenobi states as they notice the Seperatist ships appearing to falling apart and the wreakage drifted into Kamino's orbit as they fell apart and crashed into the sea all in the same area near the cloning facilities. Kenobi noticed before saying, "Something is going on with the wreakage. I am going to investigate."

"Is there not sensors in the water?" Faiz questioned.

"The Kaminoians could not afford to replace then weekly and continue creating clones," Shaak Tee announced.

Faiz looked to the one Kaminoan in the room with narrowed eyes while Kenobi left quickly to get a submarine to check the water.

Secret storage room-with Boomstick-that moment.

Boomstick floated around the pod until it found the timer and zapped it until the symbols eventually sped through until all the symbols became '0' and were replaced with 'Revival Process Initiating.' Until the pod opened and a dark grey glove started reaching out as Boomstick asks, "Is Wiz in there?" and received a chuckle and a groan from two voices. "I got some things to tell you both."

With Faiz-Ten Minutes later.

Faiz and Ahsoka going over the fleet positions until the notice the remaining five Seperatist Cruisers stopped quite a distance as the rest of the fleet was seen being destroyed almost immediately. Faiz frowns before asking, "Any word from Kenobi?"

The clones in the room shake their heads before Ahsoka comments, "He would have reached the wreckage already. He should have reported by now."

Faiz frowns in deep thought before flashes of memory occur of battles in the past and pages illustrating a giant wooden horse. Faiz looks to Shaak Tee and says, "Alert the troops we are about to be attacked from the water." Shaak Tee frowns when the Facility starts to shake.

"Trident Assault Ship are jumping out the water and climbing on the facility," a clone officer on a terminal reported.

"Where is Xia?" Faiz questioned.

"He is at the main docks defending against Aqua Droids," a different Clone states.

Faiz says, "We need to defend the key points of interest. The Embryo Chambers and the storage room that the Kaminoans are hiding," the remaining Kaminoan looked ready to argue when Faiz stops her by saying, "Don't try it. Either you don't know about it or you are trying to work out how much you lot can see what you found for more then the true price. Now the Seperatist either found out about it from a perspective buyer or they don't know about it. So while the resident Jedi head to the Embryo Chamber I am going to storage room 289B." R4G3R beeped from his terminal, "Good job buddy," lifting up his arm revealing a map of the facility with a route.

With that the two jedi left the chamber to the right while Faiz and Accel rushed to the left. The rider and his ride rushed through the halls as a Trident Assault ship stabbed the wall of a corridor with clones being attacked with aquatic versions of super Battle droids. The clones struggled with them as Faiz suddenly flicked his right arm to the side before rushing the droids indenting the droid with the same of his fist as he launched it back. Behind him Accel launched over and smashed its way through the droids like a missile clearing a path for Faiz use a couple of the recovering droids and stepping stones as he left foot prints in the droids. The Droids that survived the beating turned to Faiz and started chasing the rider away from the injured clones who rushed after them and opened fire on them when they had a clear shot.

Faiz continued through the halls until he reached an intersection and was punched by Grievous with a sucker punch. Faiz hit a wall rubbing his jaw part of his helmet. Faiz comments, "Wow, you managed to not say a word long enough to get the first hit," Faiz stands and flicks his arm before Accel threw his handle to Faiz over Grievous as Faiz leaped forward and smashing a knee into the mechanical general's face. Faiz inserts the battle chip into the handle activating the red lightsaber before Grievous activated all four light sabers in his hands as his arm spit in two and he charged forward. Faiz skillfully deflected the green and blues distracting Grievous as the clones took care of the droids while also giving them time to get to cover. Accel though used his wheel gun while forcing a droid to be a shield with their other hand.

Grievous growls while saying, "I have a task to complete destroying you will be a bonus," rushing Faiz with his two top arms having their hands spin at high speeds creating a solid circle of green and blue light.

Faiz used light movements to deflect strikes as he back tracked towards where his target is located. Though surprisingly for the clones that know of Faiz's ability they are surprised that he is being pushed back.

Faiz continued through the hallway until he reached his destination only to find the path blocked by a wall. Grievous suddenly kicked his leg to pin Faiz against the wall while Accel held his fire. Faiz then has Grievous four blades aimed at his face as he says, "How much did you sacrifice for power?" getting a glare from Grievous as he prepared to impale Faiz as a whirring sound filled the hall.

With Ahsoka-Path to the Embryo Chamber-A few Minutes earlier

Ahsoka and Shaak Tee rushed along the path cutting down droids with low effort with large results. Which is what can happen, when wielding a light sabre that melts almost everything in its path. They were speeding through until they spotted Ventress' two red light Sabres killing Clones. Ahsoka struck first with a leaping into the air with a double downward slash while Shaak Tee went low going for her legs, slightly behind Ahsoka in timing. Which is what Ventress' face to sneer as she was forced to defend herself.

Ventress spoke, "Skywalker's pet and The Mother Hen of the Clone army," she pushed them back as she adds, "I was expecting a real challenge!" before rushing the pair. Shaak Tee managed the defence while Ahsoka quickly attacks, aggravating Ventress more and pushing her back as they reached a path over the cloning chambers. Ventress though started laughing before violently cutting the walls, floor and roof of the pathway. Which caused the two halves to tilt downward as Ventress ran up the path behind her as Ahsoka and Shaak Tee used the force to reattach the pathway long enough for repair droid to reattach the walkway saving a couple hundred Thousand clones currently being grown below the path.

Ahsoka's comm unit on her wrist beeps and Skywalker is heard, "Snips, what is happening down there?"

"Ventress is heading to the DNA Chamber," Ahsoka answered before droids rushed the pathway. "Currently engaging droids," and stopped talking as she begun deflecting blasts from a pair of squid carriers. Ahsoka comments with, "I hope Faiz is having less trouble.

Back With Faiz as Grievous was about to impale Faiz.

Faiz was motionless as the world turned blue around him filled with numbers as they surrounded the three. As the numbers shifted revealing the wall behind Faiz glowing gold while one of the claws on the foot pinning him. Faiz blinks as the world returns to normal and grabs the claw on the foot pinning him and forcing Grievous to spin to the side as Faiz rolled to the side as something started cutting through the wall revealing a chained bayonet cutting out a hole in a poor circle shape. There was some muttering as the moved slightly with a thud before returning to its previous position. A moment later a 'cocking' sound was heard followed by three bangs that created three holes at the base of the circle cut in the wall followed by another thud resulting in the cut out piece of wall to fall. From the formed hole stood humanoid male wearing a hood and appearing to be wearing leather armour holding what appeared to be a rifle with a chained blade bayonet below a barrel, on his hip was a strange pistol with what appeared to be a 'spade' symbol. The man spoke through what appeared to be a mask that had glowing blue eyes and mouth, "Well this looks fun," before throwing the rifle behind him only for it to not make a sound as he looks to Faiz and asks, "I take it the ugly guy with four arms is the badguy? It looks the Part for a robot."

Grievous growls and Faiz says, "He is a cyborg actually," Faiz looked at the man and says, "Discount Exo that can die."

The apparent Exo hums before drawing his gun and says, "Sorry about the robot crack," before aiming an opening fire with a projectile pistol. Grievous slashed through a bullet resulting in Grievous being splashed with molten metal on their face. Grievous growls before the Exo kneed Grievous in the face as a bunch of droids arrived and open fire. The Exo laughs as he dodges blaster bolts as he opened fire with style spinning the pistol shooting ricochets hitting multiple droids with each shot. Grievous then focused his rage on Faiz as a pair of white lights followed the Exo as Boomstick's voice was heard, "We have an excellent match up today folks, three players with immense skill fighting a horde of robots! Who do you think will win Wiz?" the two lights revealed themselves to be two 'Boomsticks' talking to one another.

The second 'Boomstick' sighs and speaks in a different voice, "Yes our competitors appear to gaining points at a staggering rate after the head start the 'Raining Champ' has given them," which was when the Exo did a flip while shooting three droid with a single bullet.

Faiz was Managing until an alert was heard an alert, "A hands, projectile impact in three, two, One!" As shaking occurred around the entire facility.

This was followed by stomping and the roof where imprints were seen denting the roof. The Exo spoke, "What is that?" as he took down the last droid.

Wiz scanned the roof and says, "I am detecting large quantities of clay at a density larger than the detected size moving towards the hanger."

"The boss then?" the Exo questioned as Faiz was kicked back towards the Exo while sliding on his feet.

"Probably a third party," Faiz answered, "We need more space to finish this."

"Well the room I was in is now empty, but I doubt the guy on the roof will be coming to us," the Exo states before asking, "do you have some directions to the hanger bay?" Faiz gave him the directions before the Exo said, "Okay then, Boomstick my Lancer!" with that Boomstick fired a beam above the Exo creating the rifle that the Exo caught and started opening fire on the droids as the pair ran down the hall with the Exo opening fire on each of the droids as they rushed forward along the path ways towards the main hanger, Grievous hot on their heels. The Exo shot through Droids as Faiz deflect shots towards Grievous to slow him down. Charged through Droids and shouted for Clones to get out the way so that Grievous would not cut them down.

Fortunately one of the halls they traversed led to Kenobi arriving to distract Grievous. Faiz spots the Jedi and shouts, "Uninvited Guess heading for the hanger!"

Kenobi shouted back, "Then deal with it!" as he continued to fight Grievous.

The pair paused as the Exo comments, "That guy appears to be tough."

"He is more a talker that gets under Grievous plating," Faiz comments before slashing a droid and the pair continued to run as they saw a bald woman run the same direction they were heading with two red light sabres being chased by Skywalker, "Ventress running? Guess today is normal then."

The pair caught up to Skywalker as the Exo asks, "So Lady trouble?"

"Who are you?!" Skywalker questioned holding his blue Lightsabre at the Exo's neck as they continued to run.

"names Cayde-6, you can fight me later. I want one of those Plasma Swords," with that they continued after Ventress as they reached the hanger where the clones where finishing up with the droids. "So did Baldy steal?"

"A sample of the Clone Troopers Source DNA," Skywalker admitted.

Cayde paused as Ventress continued to run, Skywalker continued to chase while Faiz stopped and turned to Cayde only for a loud 'Bang' to be heard, a smoke trail to appear and the DNA sample to explode on Ventress' hip as Cayde walked forward holding a long rifle that released a large caliber shell. Faiz comments, "Nice shot."

Cayde chuckles and says, "Asset Denile, it's a hobby," that was when the roof above them cracked and it a large stone creature fell down holding ten rocks that it dropped that rolled away and grew to the size of a Clone with large fists. Cayde then asks, "Is this guy leading the robots?"

"No, this guy is part of the Forces of Darkness' back up plan," Faiz admit before dodging the stone solders charging them.

Cayde open fire with his rifle only foe the bullet to deflect and almost hitting a clone. Cayde shouts to said clone, "Sorry!" before being back handed by the stone golem creature that started laughing with out a mouth as it is mute. Cayde slowly stood looking at the rifle he had been holding to see it turned into a circle as Cayde stroked the weapon in sorrow before turning to the Stolen golem dropping his gun and opening his coat to reveal a strange belt as he pulled out a handle that he raised to his mouth before he says, "Henshin!" getting everyone to look at him including Xia watching from cover. Cayde placed the handle into what appeared to be a gun barrel strapped to his waist causing white lines to appear around his body and forming a suit with a triangle like design. Cayde then spoke, "Kamen Rider Delta," he drew his weapon before saying, "Thrill me," before firing.

:End of Chapter 21:

I appologise for this taking so long, very little free time to split between Work, Gaming and Life stuff. But at this stage all I can say is that I hope you enjoyed and as always, BEWARE THE WRAITH!
