Chapter 8 Hostage situation
The Next Morning Sean and Shaak Ti reported the incident about the Red Scorpions to the Council.
"These Red Scorpions are a group of what? Highly trained warriors?" Mace asked.
"Well thats one way to put it but no. These guys are a group of terrorists hell bent on killing me." Sean said.
"Why?" Obi-Wan asked.
"You all know what my clan did all those years ago. I'm pretty sure you can guess not everyone was as forgiving about what happened." Sean said.
"So they hold a personal grudge against not you but your clan and since you're the last one." Fisto said.
"They'll be coming after me. And the thing is I have absolutely no idea how many there are. There could be at least a hundred or less." Sean said.
"Hmm. A danger the Red Scorpions are. On the look out we must be yes." Yoda said.
"Indeed. In the meantime you'll have to be on guard when outside the temple. Near immunity to weapons of science or not they can't take on an entire temple of Jedi." Mace said to Sean who nods.
"I honestly hope it doesn't come to that." Sean said.
Later
Sean was walking through the halls of the Senate building looking for Irons while passing several Senators along the way before he saw Irons with Chuchi, Padme and Organa.
"Irons." Sean said gaining his attention.
"Well, speak of the devil. We were just talking about you." Irons said.
"Listen we need to talk. Concerning an old enemy of ours." Sean said making him frown knowing exactly what he was talking about.
"If you'll excuse us." Irons said as he and Sean left. As they were walking Chuchi was watching as Sean left.
"Chuchi are you ok?" Padme asked making her shake her head to clear it.
"Uh yeah I'm fine. Anyway I need to get ready to leave for a meeting in the Pantora system." Chuchi said before walking away missing the grin on Padme's face.
'Oh I see. Chuchi has feelings for him. Maybe I can help out with that.' Padme thought.
Sean had told Irons exactly what happened last night.
"Hmm. So they found you huh? I guess we shouldn't be surprised. They went to great lengths to try and kill you last time." Irons said as a member of the group had charged right into ATLAS wounding and killed personnel to get to him but Sean was able to kill him after an hour long fight.
"The hell'm I supposed to do? I can take them on one on one. But my problem is they go to great lengths to kill me including holding people close to me hostage." Sean said.
"Calm down. The good news is while you were gone we managed to get an accurate estimate to their numbers. Including the two you encountered last night there are at the very least 20 members. Each one we believe is from a criminal organization that ATLAS destroyed years ago. My best suggestion is to keep your guard up when outside the temple." Irons said.
"Yeah I've already been told that." Sean said.
Later
Sean was in his office at his factory looking at the work being done before Tarkin walked in.
"I've been told the situation regarding these Red Scorpions. I knew people could hold a grudge but these people are taking a bit far don't you think?" Tarkin asked making him chuckle.
"Hatred can make almost anyone do anything. Most of these people hold a grudge against the clan due to us doing a lot of wrong things in those dark years. I can understand their anger believe me I do. But they are willing to do anything to get to me. At one point they threatened to kill a small village unless I was handed over to them. It was one member back then so there was nothing to worry about. I handed myself over and killed the bastard." Sean said.
"Surely you must know some of them in the organization." Tarkin said.
"Not any that are alive right now. I've encountered four members in the past. The first one that held the village hostage and the second one who barged right into ATLAS to kill me but failed and then the two from last night." Sean said.
"We need to know who's in this group so we can prepare for any assaults they may plan against not just you but the Republic. As you said they'll do anything to get to you." Tarkin said making him nod.
"I know. But the problem is even before Earth joined the Republic they knew how to hide. Now that they are in the galaxy trying to find them has become even more difficult." Sean said before a transmission came through. Answering it came the hologram of Palpatine.
"Something you need Chancellor?" Tarkin asked.
"Yes, I'm afraid a development has occurred involving the Red Scorpions." Palpatine said making Sean frown.
Minutes later
Sean and Tarkin soon arrived at Palpatine's office where Anakin, Ahsoka, Revy, Turok, Mace and Yoda were seen.
"Whats going on? Sounded pretty serious." Sean said.
"More than you could realize." Palpatine said before playing a message from earlier. Ariac was on the hologram and to Sean's surprise and Anger a tied up Chuchi.
"Chancellor of the Republic. Listen closely. We will kill this Senator unless you hand over the last Kruger. You have three hours or we send her head back to the senate. Be quick about it old man." Ariac said ending his transmission beofre Sean smashed the consul and Palpatine saw his eyes become sickly yellow and slitted.
"Ok...Now these guys have seriously pissed me off." Sean said.
"If your thinking running boy don't even think about it. You will not get..." Mas tried to say before Sean grabbed his head and slammed it on the table much to everyone's shock minus Revy and Turok who knew Mas should have kept his mouth shut And Tarkin cause he expected such a reaction.
"Listen here very close fuck face. I NEVER run away from these fuckers. And if you ever think I'd let someone I care about die just to save my ass...I will bath the senate building in your blood. Are we clear?" Sean asked tightening his grip making him groan in discomfort.
"Yes...Very clear." Mas said before Sean let him go.
"Before you go to rescue Senator Chuchi your gonna need some backup." Irons said before one of the guards went to get someone.
"Oh come on. The five of us could easily handle this." Revy said.
"True but I don't like to take chance when it comes to a hostage crisis." Irons said.
"Fine who is it?" Sean asked before a woman in special armor walked in. She had white skin red hair and brown eyes before her eyes landed on Sean and widened them as did his.
"Sean?" The woman said in surprise.
"Regina?" Sean said in equal surprise. (Dino Crisis Regina. You know whats said. In the poll she only had two votes which sucks cause she's one of my top five video game girls. So I'm adding her anyway)
Regina immediately glared at him before pulling out a gun and aimed at him.
"Now hold on honey I OW!" Sean yelled as she shot him in the eye before he healed instantly. "Ok I deserve that." Sean said making Turok and Revy chuckle.
"Ok now we're good." Regina said putting her gun away making him growl.
"I'm going to kill you for this Irons." Sean said making him smirk.
"Yeah good luck." Irons said as they left.
"My, my. He is indeed interesting Senator Irons." Palpatine said making him nod.
Later
Anakin was piloting the Twilight to the Location.
Sean right now we adjusting his lightsabers to be prepared for anything in this fight.
"So are these guys anyway?" Ahsoka asked.
"Those two are members of a group of terrorists who have a huge grudge against my clan for the five long cruel years they had the world under their thumb. Personally I don't really blame them but they take this hatred way to far. They are willing to do whatever it takes to kill me since I'm the last of the clan." Sean said.
"How many members have you even encountered before?" Anakin asked.
"Four including those two. Last night they attacked me and Shaak Ti. The one with the huge sword is called Xaldin if I remember right and the other one is Ariac who so far to my knowledge is able to summon monsters using magic. Xaldin is also a lot like me. He's nearly immune to weapons of science which I learned after stabbing him in the back." Sean said.
"So our weapons will be useless against him." Anakin said.
"Not entirely. Slice off his head and he can't move his body...I hope." Sean said since he still didn't know.
"What you can move your body without your head?" Ahsoka asked amused before Regina sliced his head off with a grin.
"YOU BITCH!" Sean yelled in annoyance making her giggle.
"Ok now I'm satisfied. Think of it as payback for the three years you were missing." Regina said making him groan in annoyance before his body moved and picked up his head before putting it back on.
"Whatever." Sean said before they exited hyperspace and found a Republic cruiser just waiting there before they docked in the hanger.
"Keep your eyes open for anything. We learned the hard way these guys are tricky." Regina said with an assault riffle in hand.
"Uh yeah no shit." Sean said seeing clones that were cut to pieces making Ahsoka gasp in shock while holding a hand to her mouth.
"Oh hell." Turok said.
"So whats the plan?" Anakin asked before Sean cut his hand letting blood drop down before it began to take shape and formed a clone making Anakin smirk.
"Wow you weren't kidding." Ahsoka said in surprise that he could actually clone himself using his own blood.
"I'll use the air vents to find Chuchi. Most likely place is on the bridge. The rest of you try to stall Ariac as long as possible till I find her." Sean said.
"What about the other one?" Anakin asked.
"He's likely keeping an eye on Chuchi. I'll take care of him." Sean said jumping up and moved through the vents.
Walking around they soon found Ariac who was glaring at Sean's clone with cold murdering eyes.
"So you came after all. I suppose unlike the rest of that savage clan you at least have some honor. Now the rest of you be gone or die." Ariac said coldly before Anakin, Ahsoka and Turok activated their lightsabers with the last having a green lime light.
"Not a chance. We're not handing Sean over." Ahsoka said making him snarl.
"You have no idea what your protecting. But its your funeral." Ariac said before summoning several monsters. "You brought this on yourselves." Ariac said.
Meanwhile Sean was in the vents going up the bridge before he found Chuchi and Xaldin.
"Argh! Whats taking him so long? I want to kill that bastard and get out of here." Xaldin said in annoyance.
"Why are you after Sean? What did he do to you?" Chuchi asked making him glare at her.
"You don't know anything about him do you? He and his entire clan conquered the planet and killed good innocent people. My parents were killed by his clan and when they were all killed off save him what did the world do? They let him live! Completely forgiven that fucking cock sucker for the crimes of his god forsaken clan! We of the Red Scorpions formed together under the idea of a single goal. To ride the universe of the clan once and for all. And you will help us." Xaldin said shocking her.
After Sean officially joined the Republic Irons had told them of the clan 13 years ago. How they had fallen so low due to the actions of a single member of the clan. Sean however was the only one who stayed on the path of light his clan had once held so dear. Working endlessly to right the wrongs his entire family. She knew he was nothing like what this man was saying she saw Sean for who he truly was. One of the most kind people you could ever find to his friends and loved ones. So only one thing could be said from her mouth.
"SHUT UP!" Chuchi yelled making him widen his eyes in surprise as did Sean.
'Hmm?' Sean thought in curiosity.
"I don't care what his clan did! He's not them! More importantly you're no better then they were. You do the same things as they did and for what? To hurt someone who's done no wrong to anyone! Don't you ever say anything about the man I love like that ever again!" Chuchi yelled making Sean grin.
'Heh. I guess Revy was right. I do have the luck of god.' Sean thought with a chuckle before he saw the enraged look on Xaldin's face. 'Uh oh.' Sean thought in concern.
"Take it back." Xaldin said.
"No." Chuchi said.
"TAKE! IT! BACK!" Xaldin yelled in rage.
"NO!" Chuchi yelled making him growl in anger.
"Ok little girl. You just fucking dug your own grave!" Xaldin yelled pulling out his sword about to kill her when suddenly.
Sean emerged from the vents and slashed his head off in one clean slash making it roll down and his body fell down.
"So the man you love eh?" Sean asked making Chuchi blush up a storm making him chuckle. "I must be doing real good if I you like that much only after a week." Sean said with a grin before untying her.
"HEY FUCKERS!" Xaldin yelled at them making Chuchi yelp in surprise as even with his head cut off from his body he was still alive.
"Oh fucking come on. Oh well." Sean said before throwing a few explosives in the room. "You might be immune to the laws of science but even you can't survive the laws of nature." Sean said picking up Chuchi bridal style making her blush. "Say hi to my dead clan members when you see them in hell." Sean said laughing before he jumped down the lift.
"YOU BASTARD!" Xaldin yelled before the room blew up and his head was sucked out into space and was dead.
Meanwhile the rest of the group was still fighting against Ariac when the ship shook.
"Whoa! What was that?" Ahsoka asked before one of the monsters slashed the clone making it turn into a pool of blood.
"Ah I see. Using his blood clones to move around me eh? Not bad." Ariac said before he heard something from the lift and Sean and Chuchi dropped down before he let Chuchi down much to her disappointment.
"Your all out of options now fucker. Surrender." Sean said pulling out two green lightsabers making him growl in anger.
"Not today Kruger." Ariac said before blasting a large wave of lightning at him which Sean was able to absorb before Ariac rushed in and stabbed him in the stomach making Sean groan in pain before he made a run for it to his ship and got on before taking off.
"YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE LAST OF ME KRUGER! THE RED SCORPIONS WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD!" Ariac yelled before he left.
"Sean you ok?" Ahsoka asked in concern as he was bleeding.
"Fucking bastard. That blade was coated with Magic." Sean said before collapsing.
"HEY!" Ahsoka yelled in concern.
Later
Sean was taken to the Jedi temple to after they dropped Chuchi back at the Senate. Currently Sean was being treated by two Jedi. One was a woman named Rig Nema and the other was known As Bultar Swan. Bultar checked over his wound before seeing it was beginning to heal slowly.
"So magic is the only thing that actually harm him." Bultar said examining the wound.
"It would appear so." Nema said before Ahsoka and Aayla walked in.
"How is he doing now?" Aayla asked.
"Don't he's not in any danger. His wound is healing slower because it was a magic based weapon that did the damage." Bultar said before Sean woke up with a groan and looked into the eyes of Bultar making him grin.
"Well, hello angel." Sean said making her blink before smiling at him before he widened his eyes. "AHHH! WHY! Why can't I keep my mouth shut!" Sean yelled in annoyance making her giggle.
"Well, I see the rumor about you being a flirt is true." Bultar said amused.
"Rumor? Who said that?" Sean asked before pointing at Ahsoka who whistled in innocence making him chuckle. "Whatever." Sean said standing up.
"Try to take it easy for the next couple days. That wound may have healed fast but it could still cause problems if agitated." Nema said.
"I'll keep that in mind." Sean said as he, Ahsoka and Aayla left.
As they were walking the two female Jedi noticed the concerned look on his face.
"Something wrong?" Aayla asked.
"Yeah. I get the feeling Dooku was the one who informed the Red Scorpions about my current location and who I was allied with. The clones didn't even stand a chance against them." Sean said.
"What did you expect? They didn't even know what they were up against." Ahsoka said.
"True. Still at least theres one less member we'll have to worry about." Sean said.
Authors Note: Finally! I got this done. The whole site has been experience a problem all day. Anyway next Chapter we get to see a new weapon Sean's created to fight against the much larger monsters Ariac can summon. Also the reason I added Regina is because I was really disappointed by the lack of votes she got. She only got two! There was no way in hell I was gonna leave her hanging since she is one of my favorite female video game characters. Also to the guy who's always begging for me to update Unknown warrior I did early this morning. Read, Review, Fav Follow and VOTE! REVIEW AND VOTE MY FRIENDS HAHAHAHAHAHA! SEE YA!
