Chapter 15 Trespassers
"You want to do what?" Mace asked Sean who stood before the Council.
"I want to divide the Jedi into separate types. Lets face facts. Being Peace keepers is not exactly for everyone. Look at Anakin and yourself for example. You both belong in the Military being Generals on the front lines. What I'm proposing is something that will both benefit the Jedi Present and future as well as the Republic." Sean said getting everyone curious about his idea.
"Oh? Go on then." Obi-Wan said intrigued by this idea.
"I've noticed even before the Jedi were brought into the clone wars that some of them had more realistic ideas on peace. Military ideas to be exact. Kenobi, Anakin and Master Windu are perfect examples of this. What I'm suggesting is that while Training Younglings we determine which line they fit in. Peace keeper jedi or military Jedi. The ideas they train into their students will live on and if in the event another war does arrive which may happen considering some people desire war for dark reasons. Next time we'll be prepared." Sean said getting Most to see his point minus one for Obvious reasons.
"This is a pointless Idea." Arana said.
"I don't believe I was talking to you dipshit." Sean said making him frown.
"Enough." Mace said stopping any argument. "This idea does indeed have great benefits for both the Jedi and the Republic there is no denying that. However that would take time considering we are at war. After the war however those who have war Experience can train the Future Jedi on our experience. However as for Military do you truly believe the republic will continue to support an army?" Mace asked.
"What kinda dumb question is that? A government is completely useless without an army. Before this war the Republic had nothing and that cost them financial since it's cheeper to train an army instead of buying one for gods sakes. Even after world war 2 we still continued to increase the number in the army even after forming the United nations and UNSC. A government must always have an army for any situation." Sean said getting them to agree.
"Hopefully the Senate will agree on this. In the meantime we have a situation." Mundi said.
"One our outposts has gone dark I know. Tarkin told me earlier. I think I recall Dooku mentioning he had some interest in the system before." Sean said.
"And you didn't think to tell us till now!" Arana yelled before Sean started choking him which surprised the other Jedi.
"One more word out of you and I'll have my old teacher show you what we do to arrogant morons like you." Sean said releasing him letting him breathe again. "I didn't say anything because I wasn't sure if he would try to attack. Theres no point in telling things like that unless there is a real reason to be concerned." Sean said.
"Insolant brat!" Arana yelled.
"ENOUGH!" Mace yelled making him stop. "That is enough. For now we need to know what exactly happened to the outpost." Mace said.
"I'm on it." Sean said leaving.
Later
"FUCK!" Sean yelled out in annoyance. Why? Well...
"I hate the cold!" Sean yelled getting Anakin and Obi-wan to laugh.
"What are you used to hot places?" Anakin asked.
"I grew up in Texas and other places that were over a hundred degrees. The only other times I was in places that were cold was..." Sean tried to say.
"During training and missions." A Russian accent said.
"Eh?" Sean said turning around and saw a man with what skin dark brown hair and his eyes had different colors left eye blue and the right eye green. "Makarov, What a pleasant surprise." Sean said before he aimed a flame thrower in his face. "Ooooh shit." Sean said before he blasted him. "AHHHHH! JESUS CHRIST! OH FUCK!" Sean yelled while everyone else laughed. (I'm sure theres a few people who know exactly where I got this from)
Sean growled as he put out the fire. "Ok that was way fucking over kill!" Sean said beyond annoyed getting Makarov to chuckle in amusement.
"I believe we are even now." Makarov said before a woman in a blue leotard appeared behind him. She had white skin light blue hair and blue eyes.
"Hello Louise." Sean said before groaning in pain as she delivered an ice shelled kick to the balls. "OW!" Sean yelled.
"Ok we're good." Louise said satisfied. (Killer frost from Assult on Arkham)
"Ugh. I'm starting to really regret leaving the Separatists." Sean said standing up.
Soon enough everyone was gathered.
"General Kruger." Chairman Cho said approaching him with his body guards and Senator Chuchi much to Sean's surprise.
"Ah Chairman Cho. I ask you wait here until the area is secure." Sean said.
"I respect your judgment, Commander, but I will go where I choose. This is sovereign Pantora territory." Chairman Cho said.
"I thought this place was uninhabited and therefor it's not aligned." Louise said.
"Our Moon of Pantora is the only civilization in this system. I'm the one who asked the senate to protect this planet. This wasteland belongs to us." Cho said.
"With all due respect, chairman, this is for the senate to decide not us." Obi-Wan said.
"Technically we do report to the senate." Sean said.
"Indeed. And that would also mean you report to senator Chuchi." Cho said as she stepped forward.
"Technically speaking the chairman is correct. Since the planet is uninhabited, the moon of Pantora reserves the right to continue as its protectorate." Chuchi said.
"Whatever. Woods, get that door opened." Sean said.
"Got it." Woods said.
Soon the doors opened up and the men came to a rather disturbing sight. Clone trooper helmets on sticks. When Makarov went to remove one there was nothing there.
"Odd." Makarov said.
"It must be Separatists." Cho said.
"No. Something is off." Sean said as Anakin and the others walked in.
"Yikes." Reznov said taking off one of the helmets. "This remind you of anything Kruger?" Reznov asked.
"Hmm." Sean said.
Soon they made it to the command center and saw dead clones on the ground.
"You think the Separatists are building a forward base to attack Pantora?" Cho asked.
"We're not dealing with Separatists. Look around." Sean said.
"What?" Cho asked not seeing what he was seeing.
"The computers haven't been touched. There are no blast marks. No battle droids and the wounds are not consistent with standard weaponry. No something else happened." Sean said before Rex approached him.
"Our scouts have spotted a droid base on the other side of the ice ridge." Rex said.
"Anakin, Obi-Wan. You take Woods and Rex with you to that base. I'll stay here and see what I can find." Sean said.
"Right." Anakin said as they left.
Later
"Colonel Makarov, I want the weapons system back online and the shields operational. Theres no telling what the Separatists have planned." Cho said.
"Chairman, what makes you so certain the Separatists are behind this attack? Sean, gave clear evidence this wasn't them." Chuchi said.
"I respect the commander's observation but being prepared could mean the difference between life and death. And look around you. Someone or something did this." Cho said.
"With respect Chairman, we don't know if this was intentional or a misunderstanding." Makarov said.
"What are you implying Colonel?" Cho asked with a frown.
"Well, there have been attacks before based on circumstances of misunderstanding. It's possible whoever attacked the clones mistook them as a threat. It's happened before on Earth during the days of when the united states was being colonized by the British." Makarov said.
"I will take the commander's observation over yours Colonel." Cho said making him chuckle in amusement which angered him. "Whats so funny?" Cho demanded.
"You should also take my advice as well since I was the one who taught him everything he knows." Makarov said.
"It is true." Sean said entering the room. "Makarov, taught me everything I know today. Strategy, tactics, brutality and many other things that made me what I am today. If he believes theres something more going on I would listen to him." Sean said.
"I see." Cho said though not impressed.
"And perhaps a peaceful resolution could be heard." Chuchi asked hopeful.
"More than likely." Sean said as Cho left.
"Senator, I am willing to fight and die for my people. It's time you ask yourself if you are brave enough to do the same." Cho said as he left and hurt her deeply from his harsh words.
"Ignore him. You don't always need to resort to violence to solve a problem. I'll go talk to him." Sean said leaving.
"You should not let him discourage you Senator." Makarov said making her look at him. "I've seen Sean use words alone on many people who were not beyond reason. Stick to your beliefs and they will pay off." Makarov said leaving.
Later
Soon Anakin and Obi-Wan returned.
"Please tell me you found something so we can leave and go back home?" Sean asked if not begged making them chuckle.
"Uh not exactly." Anakin said.
"Oh fuck. What is it?" Sean asked as the others walked to them.
"It seems we've stumbled onto an inhabited planet." Obi-Wan said.
"Imposible. Our explorers have spent much time here over the long history of Pantora. No one lives here. They're trespassers." Cho said.
"It wouldn't be the first time people like this have avoided detection." Reznov said.
"Mmhmm." Sean said in agreement.
"With respect, chairman Cho, these creatures, The Talz, aren't advanced enough to master space travel. I think they may have been here longer than Pantora." Obi-Wan said.
"Whoever they are they belong to us. This whole system belongs to us." Cho said before spotting everyone from Earth glaring at him. "What?" Cho asked.
"They belong to you? Did I hear that right?" Sean asked glaring at him.
"Savages have no rights." Cho said before Sean grabbed him by the throat making him gasp in shock.
"You best watch your next words. They may be your last. The UNSC has a very low tolerance for those who think anyone can be a slave just because of their intelligence or culture. So I would watch it." Sean said dropping him.
"Your majesty, if there are life forms here, then the senate must decide jurisdiction." Chuchi said trying to prevent anything from happening.
"They are savages. Look what they've done! They slaughtered your troops!" Cho yelled.
"Clearly they mistook them as threat. My guess is the droids attacked them and they thought the clones were aligned with them." Reznov said.
"They must be subdued. They're dangerous. Colonel Makarov, prepare your troops for battle." Cho said expecting it.
"No." Makarov said surprising him.
"What did you just say?" Cho asked in outrage.
"I do not take orders from you. I take orders from him or the chancellor." Makarov said pointing at Sean.
"Commander, your colonel is disobeying a direct order. Arrest him!" Cho yelled.
"Piss off!" Sean yelled. "Let me make this clear. I don't take orders from someone who thinks violence is the answer to everything. This situation can be solved peacefully and thats exactly what we'll do. I assume a meeting point has been made?" Sean asked Obi-Wan who nods. "Then thats where we'll go. And You." Sean said glaring at Cho. "Do not do anything stupid. This is your only warning." Sean said making him glare.
Later
Soon enough the group made it to the meeting point which was the Separatist base.
"Colonel! Put your men on that ice ridge. We will attack as soon as the savages arrive." Cho said.
"I thought I made it clear there will be no attack!" Sean said glaring at him.
"You will do as I command! This planet is under my jurisdiction!" Cho yelled.
"Not anymore. The Talz are already here." Sean said as they came out of the snow.
Soon they made it inside and 3PO started talking with the leader.
"Chieftain Thi-Sen welcomes you to his home and hopes you come in peace. He wishes to be good neighbors, but he does not wish you to remain on his planet." 3PO said.
"Listen, Droid! Translate everything I say, and exactly as I say. Tell them this world belongs to the moon of Pantora!" Cho yelled.
"Not anymore."
Cho turned and saw Sean with a holodisk of the speaker of the assembly.
"Chairman, You know have no authority to dictate terms with the Talz. This is a mater for the Senate to decide. And The Supreme Commander has told me of your views of the Talz as slaves." The speaker said.
"You little!" Cho yelled about to blast him till.
BANG!
"AHHHH!" Cho yelled as his left leg was blown off by Makarov.
"May we settle this our way Sir?" Sean asked.
"Do what you must." The Speaker said before ending his transmission.
"Savage lovers!" Cho yelled before Makarov pulled out some canister and handed it to Sean.
"As I said we have a very low tolerance to people like you. And we deal with them in the most harshest of ways imaginable." Sean said before he started dumping the contents of the canister on Cho who spits it out.
"What is this!" Cho asked before smelling the liquid. "Fuel?" Cho asked.
"Whoa! Wait a minute here! We don't need to do anything drastic!" Anakin said in alarm.
"Yes this is not really required." Obi-Wan said.
"This is how we solve problems back home. If people don't see there are consequences to their actions like his then they never learn. This solves two problems. Getting rid of him and preventing anyone from doing the same." Sean said pulling out a lighter.
"NO! YOU ARE NOTHING BUT REAL SAVAGES! YOU ALL DESERVE..." Cho tried to say before Makarov took the lighter.
"Hell awaits you." Makarov said dropping it on him lighting him on fire.
"AHHHHH!" Cho yelled as he ran away or rather crawled trying to put the fire out but the exits were sealed shut and before he knew it he fell down dead.
"Well, that was fun." Louise said.
"What would possess you to do something so...So..." Obi-Wan tried to say.
"Harsh? I told you before. We have a more simple punishment for people like him. Your methods are far to soft." Sean said getting those from his planet to agree.
"This is war Master Jedi. If you aren't willing to do what is necessary you will not win this war. This is something we learned during our last war." Makarov said.
Later
Sean sighed as he and the others were back on the Infinity heading back to Coruscant. Currently Sean was in his quarters before looking at some new weapon designs before someone knocked on his door.
"Enter." Sean said before Chuchi walked in. "Hello. I wasn't expecting you so suddenly but I do enjoy your presence." Sean said making her smile.
"Can we talk?" Chuchi asked.
"Of course." Sean said placing the files down.
"Back on the planet what you did to the Chairman...I never realized you could be so...Brutal." Chuchi said.
"Hmm. Makarov taught me everything I know about the world. I don't mean to sound like an ass but the world you want is a fantasy. In the real world the strong thrive. However my people protect the week. Those who can't fight for themselves. People like Cho have been a problem since before the last war. Arrogance diminishes wisdom as they say." Sean said.
"True." Chuchi said before sitting next to him.
"I do intend to make a better world. One where those who harm the innocent pay for their crimes in full. It may sound harsh...Even Cruel. But if you show mercy to those like them others will never learn." Sean said.
"So you do this to set an example that no one is above the law and there are punishments." Chuchi theorized.
"Yup. I've got hundreds of plans and so on. Both during and after the war." Sean said.
Later
Sean was walking to the Jedi council before he entered the chamber.
"I take it this about what happened on to the chairman?" Sean asked.
"More or less. This is about the one who has some influence over you." Mace said.
"Who Makarov? What about him?" Sean asked.
"We've seen his record and his methods have us somewhat concerned. And add that to his influence on you leaves us more concerned." Mundi said.
"What are you trying to say?" Sean asked.
"We want Makarov kicked out of the Republic Military and you end all ties to him. That is an order." Arana said smugly with a grin before Sean glared at him with sickly yellow slitted eyes.
"You fucking care to repeat that to my face?" Sean asked reaching for his sword.
"Sean, We're only trying to keep an eye out for you. Keeping your best interest." Mace said.
"Your best interest is butt out. You don't have the right to decide whats best for me. Makarov practically raised me. Made me who I am today. I think we're done." Sean said walking out with clear anger surrounding him.
"See? This is exactly my point! He's compromised because of his emotions and attachments." Arana accused.
"No." Yoda said confusing them. "More to this there is. A bigger connection they both share. Learn the truth we must." Yoda said.
Sean sighed looking out a window when Mace approached him.
"If you're expecting an apology forget it." Sean said.
"Perhaps we were to hasty in judging Makarov. Some light on the matter would better clear your connection." Mace said making him sigh.
"I joined the military after the clan was slaughtered when Irons found me. Wanted to make amends for what happened. It wasn't unheard of for young children to join at my age back then 13 years ago. You can imagine some people were not so willing to let me join. Three fresh grunts who had suffered during the five long years had uh tried to kill me. My body was immune to conventional and weapons of science. They took advantage to that." Sean said making him frown at the idea of harming a child that had done nothing wrong.
"Did no one step in to stop them?" Mace asked.
"Nope. The other troops just looked the other way. Save one man." Sean said.
"Makarov." Mace said.
"Shot one in the face with a shot gun and blew off the others legs. Sent a message to the others not to pull anything. I looked up to him after that. He taught me everything he knew. Yeah some of his methods are harsh but we only use it on those who are beyond reason. People like Cho. Revy and a few others were spared because I saw good in them. I owe him everything for making me who I am today." Sean said.
"I see. I suppose the council can understand this. Just do try to use methods like that as a last resort." Mace said.
"No promises." Sean said.
Authors Note: Jesus Christ. Sorry for the long wait but I've been so busy with the Rider of the League. Literally my most popular story by far. Anyway Next Chapter is the one you've all been waiting for. The battle of Ryloth with some great surprises. Also I know I said there would be a lemon between Sean and Chuchi but I decided to save that for say after a hostage crisis. Seems more fitting that way. Read, Review, Fav and Follow. See ya.
