Chapter 24 Mandalore
Its been about three weeks since the Autobots and Decepticons joined the Republic and since Abigor made his presence known throughout the galaxy. Ever since The devastation of Tatooine the Galaxy was on edge since never in history has anyone decimated an entire planet in such a cruel way. Not even the Sith of old were capable of doing something like this. (Technically thats not true since there was a Sith lord known as the Sith Emperor that did this during the days of the old Republic but not as powerful)
The Republic warned the Separatists of this incident and they were completely terrified beyond words. Most were even afraid to sleep at night out of fear he would target their world next.
Dooku himself did not take this well knowing there was someone who could threaten not only his world but his master's entire plan. Behind him were Ventress and Grievous.
"My Master...I sense this whole event has shaken you." Ventress said as she sensed his fears.
"More than you can every imagine. Never in history has the galaxy ever faced a threat of this scale. Not even during the days of the Sith of old." Dooku said.
"How much of a danger could he pose to us?" Grievous asked.
"I can't even Imagine it. I doubt that even my master Darth Sidious could handle such a threat. Especially since he managed to defeat Sean and Skywalker without even truly trying. Had one of the Clan elder's not arrived I fear the damage he could have caused would have been even more devastating." Dooku said. Both Grievous and Ventress were surprised those two were defeated which was rare for both of them.
"Do you believe he can attack one of the planets under our control and turn them to his army of the undead?" Grievous asked.
"There is no comparison between Republic or Sith for him. We are talking about more than just neutral systems at risk. But the entire universe. These dark days ahead of us all. And I fear This will be far worse than the NOVA 6 incident. Something far worse." Dooku said knowing dark days were ahead of the galaxy.
Meanwhile
Sean, Hephaestus and Yoda sat in the center of the Jedi council chambers with the others helping them with their connection to the force trying to locate Abigor for the last three weeks.
"Ok thats enough. This is getting us nowhere." Sean said standing up.
"Hmmm. The balance of power has shifted. The clone wars no longer our biggest concern. To bring the dead back as undead warriors. A dangerous and terrifying power this is." Yoda said.
"Necromancy. It is considered to be the vilest of black magic." Hephaestus said disgusted by how far Abigor has fallen.
"And I thought the Parasites were problematic enough. And now this surprise." Obi-Wan said with a dry joke.
"I'm not laughing Kenobi." Hephaestus said unamused.
"Easy now." Sean said calming him down.
"Abigor, certainly knows the ways of the force if he's able to hide from us." Mace said very troubled by this development.
"Indeed. And now he plans to eradicate those who are not from Earth." Luminara said disgusted by such actions.
"I agree Master Luminara. But our hands are tied now. And now we can't predict what Abigor is planning." Kota said in his seat on the council. After Arana was kicked off the council he was offered his place amongst the council.
"Regretfully All we can do is wait till he strikes again." Mace said not liking that in the slightest.
Sean sighed before leaving to head back to his lab.
Arriving in his office he looked at one of the files before reading it. However his mind continued to go over what had happened to Tatooine. Sure the planet wasn't valuable and all but the people there didn't deserve to become part of Abigor's undead army.
"ARGH!" Sean yelled throwing a data pad at the wall before Tarking walked in.
"I'm going to assume your still angry about Abigor." Tarkin said.
"Obviously. I had thought for certain he was dead all those years ago. How did he survive?" Sean asked.
"A more likely answer would be he is the one who slaughtered the side branch of the clan to begin with." Tarkin said making him frown. "Anyway you mind explaining to me about this Titan Project?" Tarkin asked pulling up the file.
"Ah that. A little something thats currently in development. Hopefully it could turn the tide of the war in our favor some more." Sean said.
"I see." Tarkin said.
"In the meantime I have a new weapon that has just been finished. The Electroproton bomb." Sean said showing the actual weapon outside.
"It looks impressive but what does it do?" Tarkin asked.
"Well, it has basically a version of a nuclear warhead but instead of a nuclear blast its a big giant EMP. Still haven't tested it yet though." Sean said.
"This could change the tide of the war against the droid army." Tarkin said.
"Yeah but sadly It also effects our own machines including Transformers." Sean said not about to have his allies be shut down by accident.
"I see. Ah that reminds me. The chancellor wishes you to accompany him at the Amphitheater here on Coruscant." Tarkin said.
"Oh that. I already got the invitation. But I got things to do." Sean said.
"Apparently someone from Earth is performing." Tarkin said making him raise an eyebrow.
"Oh? Well...I guess one show wouldn't hurt." Sean said leaving.
Arriving at the Amphitheater Sean noticed a lot of senators here so he assumed this event had to be big.
"Messa want to see show."
"Oh no. Not the plague bringer." Sean moaned. The first time that damn Gungan had come to his lab to accompany Senator Amidala he had nearly destroyed whole damn place in a minute. Sean was so furious he nearly strangled him and begged Padme never to bring him back and black listed him as someone to never come within 3 miles of the lab.(Lets face facts JarJar could be the ultimate weapon against the Sith when it comes to his clumsiness. I'm amazed he's even alive right now)
"Sean." Padme called over making him look seeing her Anakin and Jarjar much to his irritation. However his attention was drawn on someone he was not expecting. She had White Skin Black hair and Violet eyes.
"Lois" Sean asked seeing another Reporter he was all to familiar with. (Lois Lane from Superman the animated series. If April is in this then so should she)
Lois looked at him with a frown before walking to him.
"Uh oh." Sean said before she started smacking him. "OUCH!" Sean yelled making Padme and her husband laugh. "What was that for?" Sean asked.
"Thats for up and leaving for three years." Lois said.
"Oh not this again. How many times do I have to say sorry?" Sean asked before she grabbed his face.
"And this is welcome back." Lois said kissing him making him chuckle.
"HEH HEH! I'll take that any day." Sean said making her smile.
"So she's another reporter huh?" Anakin asked.
"Ay. She and April have a little competition back home to see who gets the most awards by the end of the year. But why are you here?" Sean asked.
"After April casted that freedom of Ryloth report I decided to come here and see what I could dig up. You know question Separatists on anything valuable." Lois said smirking.
"Yeah good luck. Poggle And Tambor don't crack so easily. Even Paduk is having trouble breaking them. And thats his speciality." Sean said.
"By the way that thing with the long tongue scared the crap out of me." Lois said refering to JarJar.
"Try seeing him nearly destroy your entire lab in a minute." Sean said annoyed making her giggle. "Anyway the Chancellor is expecting me. I'll see you guys later." Sean said leaving to find him.
Lois however giggled.
"What?" Anakin asked suspicious.
"Oh nothing. I'm just gonna enjoy seeing the reaction he has when he sees who it is." Lois said making him smirk already having a guess.
Palpatine, Irons and Mas were in the special Guest before Sean appeared.
"Sir?" Sean said.
"Ah Sean good to see you. Sit down." Palpatine said getting him to do so.
"I had doubts coming here due to recent events." Sean said.
"I understand your concerns. The Senate has been restless to have Abigor arrested for his unforgivable crimes." Palpatine said.
"Dooku and his separatists were shocked by the news of what had happened." Irons said.
"I don't doubt it." Sean said still angered by the event.
"I know you feel angered by this event. He must be very strong indeed to defeat both you and Skywalker." Palpatine said. Sean could sense something from him when he said that. He knew there was something odd about Palpatine but he couldn't figure it out.
"Ay. Abigor has 30,000 years of experience. I doubt even Sidious could pose a threat to him." Sean said before sensing some anger from Palpatine about that remark which raised curiosity.
"That is indeed a threat. But let us enjoy this show for now." Palpatine said.
"I agree Chancellor. Though I am confused as to why you didn't defeat him Kruger. I thought you were powerful." Mas said making him frown.
"Mas that was uncalled for." Irons said.
"You mother..." Sean tried to say before the show began. "What kind of show is this again?" Sean asked.
"An illusion one. Magic." Irons said.
"What?" Sean said before the stage was surrounded by mist before someone appeared. A woman with white skin black hair and blue eyes.
"Zatanna?" Sean asked seeing one of his lovers. (I was kinda torn which version to use since they all look amazing. So I guess the best I could think of was from the Movie Justice League Dark)
"Another one I'm assuming?" Palpatine asked.
"Oh boy." Sean said.
"Good evening, Coruscant, my name is Zatanna Zatara and I am a magician. Tonight I invite all assembled people, not only people, but also every other civilization to the amazing world of illusion. You will see how the impossible becomes possible and fiction becomes reality, though probably most have it every day when Jedi are around. " Zatanna announced her stage enthusiasm by saying a joke at the end, causing a snort in the hall.
"Hahaha." Irons laughed.
"Oh dear." Sean said.
Zatanna has amazed the crowd with her magic. However when her eyes landed on Sean she smirked which made him suspicious.
"I admit your lover down there clearly knows how to entertain." Mas said.
"Yup." Sean said.
"And for my next trick. I will require a volunteer from the Audience. Whom I will transfer directly on stage." Zatanna said grinning making Sean widen his eyes.
"I'm out." Sean said about to run away only to disappear.
"Where'd he go?" Mas asked.
"OW!" Sean yelled as he landed on stage on his head.
"There." Irons said amused.
"Z that was not funny!" Sean yelled making her giggle.
"Oh I beg to differ lover boy." Zatanna said making him grumble.
"All right what do you want?" Sean asked crossing his arms.
"I remember you used to be a brilliant escape artist." Zatanna said making him widen his eyes.
"Wait a minute! I haven't done this in years. I'm out of practice!" Sean yelled.
"Too late!" Zatanna yelled using her magic to wrap him up in a jacket and chained him up before throwing him into a box which shocked the audience. Meanwhile it was being broadcast all over the planet and the Jedi temple where the Jedi watched.
"Isn't this a little extreme?" Ahsoka asked concerned.
"Ah relax Mango. Watch." Revy said before the Chest caught on fire making the Audience look in horror.
"No need to be worried. Look up." Zatanna said pointing up where Sean was hanging upside down on a platform.
"For the record I am going to get you for that." Sean said making the audience laugh.
"Oh I doubt that." Zatanna said casting a spell to put him in another box before a large number of swords appeared.
"AH SHIT!" Sean yelled as they pierced the box before it opened up and he was gone.
"Seriously?" Sean asked as he appeared in another box he was all too familiar with.
"What can I say. Paybacks a bitch." Zatanna said making him sigh before she closed it before she took the box apart and opened them showing his legs, chest and head.
"Kill me." Sean begged making the audience laugh before she closed them again before putting it back together and opened it revealing he was upside down and fell on his face. "OW!" Sean yelled getting everyone to laugh.
"Thank you." Zatanna said before Sean snatched her wand. "HEY!" Zatanna yelled before Sean grinned at her. "Uh oh." Zatanna said alarmed.
"My turn." Sean said before casting a spell and Zatanna yelled as she appeared in a red backless dress.
"What are you up to?" Zatanna asked before he whispered into her ear making her widen her eyes before grinning. "You are so Evil." Zatanna said.
"I may have picked up a few things during the dark days." Sean joked making her giggle. "Now." Sean said before purple cylinder appeared. "While this trick is pretty common back on Earth I think you'll all enjoy pulling a rabbit out of this." Sean said.
"What is up to?" Irons asked.
"Come here you!" Sean yelled grabbing something before a pair of pink bunny ears came out before rabbit did indeed come out...In the form of Mas in a pink Bunny costume making him blink before seeing his appearance.
"DAMN YOU KRUGER!" Mas yelled while everyone else laughed as did Sean and Zatanna.
"Thats payback you jackass!" Sean yelled.
After the performance Sean and Zatanna walked through the halls of the theater before meeting up with Palpatine, Irons, Anakin, Padme, JarJar, Diana, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka.
"A rather unique performance you've both done." Palpatine said impressed.
"Heh. I only did this on my spare time back before the war." Sean said rubbing his head.
"I trust even Miss Zatanna will be an excellent help in the war effort." Palptatine said while Mas had a sour look on his face.
"Oh knock it off. You so deserved that for that I'm not as powerful as Abigor comment horn head." Sean said making him grumble.
Suddenly the lights went out.
"Oh now what?" Sean asked before they came back on but when they did four other women were standing in front of him.
The first had red hair green eyes and White skin.
The second had silver hair white skin and pink eyes.
The second had white skin purple hair and white eyes.
And finally the last had purple heir blue eyes and white skin.
"Gwen, Charmcaster, Tala and..." Sean tried to say. (Gwen from Ben 10 Alien force. Charmcaster from the original Ben 10 series since she looked so much better back then. Tala from Justice League Unlimited)
"Circe!" Diana said in anger.
"Hello Diana. Did you miss me?" Circe asked. (Circe from Justice League unlimited)
"Wait...Circe?" Anakin asked having never heard that name before.
"That Character is from Homer's Odyssey. Also a Greek Mythology back on Earth." Ahsoka said.
"How do you know?" Anakin asked his padawan.
"Hey unlike you I actually study when I have the chance. The first time we went to Earth I looked into their library." Ahsoka said proudly making him smirk in amusement.
"Well, looks like we have a smart one amongst us." Circe said praising her making Ahsoka blush a little. "However me and Amazons have some issues. Isn't that right Diana?" Circe teased making her frown.
"Circe. I told you not to tease her about that." Sean said.
"Oh honey I'm just joking." Circe said rubbing his face.
"Always the same. Using your charms on him." Tala said.
"Don't forget Tala I'm the one who taught you how to control your magic." Circe said grinning making her blush.
"Since when did you start teaching?" Sean asked.
"Since you vanished. I decided to...Use my time wisely and not get into trouble. Tala has a unique skill but she still needs training if she wants to be a true master of magic. Gwen has a natural talent and caught my attention." Circe said.
"Thanks Circe." Gwen said blushing from the compliment.
"Charmcaster is still learning well but she still needs training if she also wants to master magic to surpass he despicable uncle." Circe said making Charmcaster grin.
"What kind of name is Charmcaster?" Anakin asked.
"Ani." Padme said elbowing him.
"Her real name is Hope actually but she prefers to be called by Charmcaster." Sean said.
Sean however saw Diana still glaring at Circe.
"Diana let it go. It was years ago." Sean said.
"And she used that incident to get with you." Diana said making him sigh. She could never let go of what happened but Circe managed to behave fine after the incident.
"Oh are you still angry about that? Little Pig?" Circe teased making her growl.
"Huh?" Ahsoka asked.
"Short version Circe can turn people into animals." Sean said.
"You mean like how you turn into those Dinosaurs as you call them?" Anakin asked.
"I actually got that ability from studying Turok's powers. He can turn into Modern Earth based animals and I modified it to turn into prehistoric animals." Sean said.
"Sean here struck a deal with me in exchange for turning Diana back to normal. I'd say it's been beneficial till he vanished so suddenly 2 years later." Circe said kissing his cheek making him smirk.
"It sounds interesting but its all figment in my view." Obi-Wan said getting the magic users to look at him. (Uh oh)
"Are you saying our power is fake?" Charmcaster asked annoyed.
"Last I checked Jedi and Sith have unique abilities most would consider figment." Tala said firmly.
"I'm still not convinced." Obi-Wan said making Circe grin.
"Have you not been paying attention to the last year in the war?" Sean asked in disbelief.
"Perhaps he requires a...Demonstration." Circe said as her hands glowed.
"Circe no!" Sean yelled before the light died down. When it did everyone widened their eyes. Why? Where Obi-Wan once stood was now a white haired goat.
"Oh bloody hell." Sean said repeating some of Price's words in this situation.
"Master?" Anakin asked in shock as the Goat mumbled.
"Amazing." Mas said in shock.
"An old talent of mine." Circe said blowing her hands.
"Oh for the love of." Sean said.
"How did you do that?" Ahsoka asked in shock and amazement.
"I'm an immortal sweetheart. I've learned how to do things that take years if not decades to learn." Circe said smiling.
"As incredible as this is could you please turn him back? He's starting to eat my robes." Palpatine said as Kenobi was trying to eat his robe.
"Oh fuck. Circe." Sean said.
"Yes dear hold on." Circe said as her hands glowed before Obi-Wan appeared before spitting.
"I'm sorry Chancellor that was...Very uncivilized." Obi-Wan said wanting to wash his mouth. "I take it this stays with all of us?" Kenobi asked.
"Sure." Sean said bleating like a goat and laughed with everyone else while he sighed.
"This isn't going away any time soon." Gwen said amused.
(Like before General TigerDragon helped out on everything above)
Later
"I still can't believe that happened." Sean said to Anakin as they entered the lab.
"It was funny." Anakin said before a gunship was thrown at them.
"WHOA!" Sean yelled as they dodged.
"COME AND FIGHT ME DECEPTICON SCUM!" Ratchet yelled as he tried to fight Shockwave and Soundwave.
"Ratchet this is pointless." Shockwave said dodging his attack.
"Coward!" Ratchet yelled.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE!" Sean roared making them stop.
"Taking out the trash." Ratchet said before Sean saw his eyes were glowing green before throwing his star saber at his back making him groan in pain before falling back as Synthetic Energon oozed out.
"What happened here?" Sean asked.
"Ratchet injected himself with Synthetic Energon to test its performance on our kind. The test proved to be a failure." Soundwave said.
"No kidding." Anakin said before Ratchet's eyes opened up to the regular blue.
"Ugh." Ratchet said sitting up. "What happened?" Ratchet asked before seeing Sean glare at him. "What?" Ratchet asked before looking around. "Oh. Its all coming back." Ratchet said.
"You mother..." Sean tried to say.
"Kruger we got a problem here." Reznov said on the comms.
"What is it?" Sean asked.
"We had a situation on the Forward unto Dawn cruiser. A saboteur got on and tried to plant an explosive. We got him but he took his own life." Reznov said.
"Not unexpected. Clearly someone paid him off to plant that bomb." Shockwave said.
"Yeah thats the thing. He wasn't paid off at all. If history is any indication his kind are natural born killers." Reznov said.
"Speak english. Who was it?" Sean asked.
"A Mandalorian." Reznov said making him raise an eyebrow.
"Mandalorian?" Anakin asked.
"If my memory serves me right these people are warriors who often fought against both the Republic and the Jedi during the old Republic Era." Ratchet said.
"How do you know that?" Sean asked.
"After you left Cybertron I sent probes out to the Galaxy to gather intel." Ratchet said.
"Ah. Well I happen to know Mandalore's current Ruler and if I recall so does Kenobi. And more importantly there have been rumors about her assembling her own army to fight the Republic. I'll take him with me on this." Sean said leaving. "And Ratchet...Next time you inject Synthetic Energon into your system again...I'll have your head." Sean said leaving making him sigh.
Later
Two Fighters emerged from Hyperspace. Jedi Star Fighters before they went to the planet and landed on a platform before getting out where Sean and Kenobi.
"Ah it feels good to be back." Sean said.
"You've been here before?" Obi-Wan asked.
"Yeah during my time as Dooku's apprentice. I got to know the people here they were very friendly." Sean said before a guard approached them.
"The Duchess awaits you, General Kenobi and Commander Kruger." The Guard said.
"Far be it to keep the Duchess waiting." Kenobi said getting on a vehicle before flying to the palace.
Arriving inside the palace they were greeted by a man known as Almec.
"Kruger. A pleasure to see you again old friend." Almec said.
"Hello Prime Minister." Sean said shaking his hand.
"I welcome both of you as a servant of the people. But I am troubled by the false rumors that brought you here." Almec said.
"About her assembling an army?" Sean asked.
"Mandalore would never engage in such violence. The Duchess Satine values peace more than her own life." Almec said.
"Oh we're aware of her views." Obi-Wan said.
"Master Kenobi, Mandalore's violent past is behind us. All of our warriors were exiled to our moon, Concordia. They died out years ago." Almec said.
"Are you so sure of that. I recently fought against a man in Mandalorian armor. Jango Fett." Obi-Wan said.
"Jango Fett was a common bounty hunter. How he acquired that armor is beyond me." Almec said.
"Well, Master Kenobi." Satine said making her presence known. "My shinning Jedi Knight to the Rescue once again...Kruger. Its been a while." Satine said.
"Hey Satine." Sean said as she sat down.
"After all these years, you're even more beautiful than ever." Obi-Wan said.
"Kind words from a man who accuses me of treachery." Satine said.
"We're not accusing you of anything. But a Saboteur attacked one of my cruisers. Wearing Mandalorian armor." Sean said showing the security tape in hologram form making her narrow her eyes.
"Kruger you must be mistaken. No Mandalorian would engage in such violence, Not anymore. Where is this prisoner?" Armec asked.
"Dead. Took his own life rather be interrogated." Sean said.
"Every one of my people are as trustworthy as I am. Clearly your investigation was ordered because the senate is eager to intervene in our affairs." Satine said.
"This investigation was my idea actually." Sean said.
"I stand corrected. General Kenobi, Perhaps you and Kruger would like to join me on a walk through the city." Satine said extending her arm.
"Of course." Sean said as the three left.
Soon the three were out walking through the city.
"Its so good to see you again, Obi-Wan, despite the circumstances." Satine said.
"Your peaceful ways have paid off. Mandalore has prospered since I was last here." Obi-Wan said.
"Not everyone on Mandalore believes that our commitment to peace is a sign of progress. There is a group that calls itself Death Watch. I imagine these are the ones who attacked your men." Satine said.
"I'm gonna assume they prefer the old ways. Not surprising. Some people cannot accept change." Sean said since it was the same on Earth during the golden years after WW2 that some still wanted war but his father and the clan stopped that.
"Indeed. There those among us working to stop them." Satine said.
"How widespread is this Death Watch movement?" Obi-Wan asked.
"It's hardly a movement. Its just a small band of hooligans who vandalize public Property. We shall soon have them in custody." Satine said.
Meanwhile
A man In Mandalorian armor was talking to Dooku through a hologram.
"I don't understand why the arrival of Kruger doesn't upset you. You promised to Support the Death Watch forces so we could overthrow the Duchess Satine and her weak peace-loving government."
"And I intend to keep my promise." Dooku said.
"But how? If the Republic interferes now, Death Watch will not be able to take over the planet."
"Consider, once the Senate orders peacekeeping troops to Mandalore, the people will be surrounded by a military presence. Most Distasteful. They will rebel." Dooku said.
"And rally to Death Watch. Our insurgency will grow stronger."
Meanwhile
"A peace keeper belongs on the front lines. Otherwise he wouldn't be able to do his job." Obi-Wan said.
"The work of a peace keeper is to make sure that conflict does not arise." Satine said.
"A noble description but not a realistic one." Obi-Wan said.
"I believe a peace keeper is many things. Be a soldier or a man who avoids violence to maintain peace. However this person chooses to maintain peace is their choice as long as Peace is kept and the innocent are safe." Sean said.
"Thats...Rather Poetic version of it." Obi-Wan said before an explosion went off.
"You two all right?" Sean asked.
"Yes." Satine said before they checked to see if the people were safe.
"Hooligans couldn't have arranged an attack of this scale." Obi-Wan said.
"Then this must be the work of an offworlder." Satine said before Sean saw something.
"I wouldn't be so sure." Sean said seeing a holographic symbol floating.
"The sign of the Death Watch." Satine said.
"This goes beyond vandalism." Obi-Wan said before someone bolted and he followed.
"Always on the move." Sean said following him.
They arrived just in time to see a man fall off the edge onto the hard ground on the next floor.
Arriving the man was muttering something in a dialect they were unfamiliar with minus Satine.
"What did he say?" Sean asked.
"He was whispering in the Concordian Dialect. Our moon." Satine said.
"I should very much like to visit this moon of yours. Perhaps we could accompany the body." Obi-Wan said.
"The Concordian moon is a province with its own governor. You'll need me to escort you both." Satine said.
"That won't be necessary." Obi-Wan said.
"Actually, it will. You won't get far without me, there especially since you've just been involved with the death of a Concordian." Satine said.
"I didn't kill him." Obi-Wan said.
"I know. Thats why I'm still talking to you." Satine said walking away making him sigh.
"You two...Clearly have issues." Sean said.
Later
Soon the three were traveling with the body to the moon.
"I thought Concordia was an agricultural settlement." Obi-Wan said.
"Before the end of our wars, they turned it into a mining base. The sheer number of mining facilities here nearly destroyed our forests. They're finally growing back." Satine said before they landed to drop off the body before a man known as Governor Vizsla.
"Duchess Satine. You are most welcome." Vizsla said.
"Thank you, governor. May I present to you Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Commander Kruger of the Republic." Satine said.
"I take it you've heard of the rumors about Satine. About who she's supposedly leading Mandalore into an alliance with the Separatists." Vizsla said.
"Our only intentions are to seek the Truth." Obi-Wan said as the body was carried in.
"This is the man who bombed the memorial Shrine?" Vizsla asked.
"Yes. He was apparently part of Death Watch." Obi-Wan said.
"A worrisome prospect. If you'll pardon me, we must attend to the body." Vizsla said leaving.
"I need a favor from you. Please keep Governor Vizsla occupied at Dinner." Obi-Wan said to Satine and Sean.
"Where are you going?" Satine asked.
"Your going to see if the mines are actually offline right?" Sean asked
"Indeed." Obi-Wan said.
Later
"I knew this was a mistake from the beginning." Sean said as he and Satine on Speeders arrived at Obi-Wan's last known coordinates.
"This mine looks...Active. The Metal and exterior has been upgraded." Satine said.
"Meaning the Death Watch may be here." Sean said as they went inside.
Inside however they found a rather...Amusing sight.
"Oh this is where Anakin gets it." Sean said amused seeing Obi-Wan upside down in a ray shield.
"Very funny." Obi-Wan said while Satine giggled in amusement.
"As funny as you getting turned into a goat." Sean said working the controls.
"Goat?" Satine asked amused.
"We agreed not to bring that up." Obi-Wan said.
"I never actually said that. Circe turned him into a goat and..." Sean tried to say before Obi-Wan was freed and tossed a rock at him which he dodged. "Someone has a bad sense of humor." Sean said making him frown in annoyance.
"I would very much like to here this story later." Satine said making Kenobi sigh.
Soon they headed up the lift and to their surprise a large number of Mandalorians were at the door before one stepped forward.
"Uh oh." Sean said grabbing his star Saber while Obi-Wan grabbed his lightsaber before the Mandalorian removed the helmet revealing to be a woman with white skin green eyes and Red hair.
"Sister?" Satine asked seeing her sister Bo-Katan Kryze.
"Sister?" Sean asked.
"For generations my ancestors fought proudly as warriors. And now my own Sister tarnishes that very name." Katan Said narrowing her eyes on her sister.
"Hasn't there been enough death and violence in our history? Is a change really so hard to ask from you?" Satine asked.
"When we have a duty and a vow to keep." Katan said.
"Vow? What vow?" Sean asked making Satine look away.
"Satine?" Obi-Wan asked.
"We have a vow to the Kruger clan during the days of the old Republic." Katan said.
"Huh?" Sean asked.
"During the days of the old Republic before Darth Revan fought against us. Mandalore had discovered Earth During the more primitive days. Ancient Mandalorians thought it would be easy to take. They were wrong the Kruger Clan beat them with great ease. But instead of killing them they spared them and our people made a vow to serve the clan when the planet was known throughout the Galaxy." Katan said.
"Did you know this?" Obi-Wan asked Sean.
"No...But there was a legend of a vanguard that served the clan that descended from the heavens. I had always assumed it was talking about Angels." Sean said before looking at Satine. "You knew about this didn't you?" Sean asked making her sigh.
"I did. I wanted my planet to change from our warrior ways that I didn't bring it up and since you didn't know I didn't say anything." Satine said.
"Thats why you dishonor the name Mandalorian." Katan said.
"Ok enough." Sean said. "Look I get it your all want to keep your vow and I'm happy for that. However people also have a right to decide what they want. I've seen what her ways have done and I say they paid off since it looks peaceful. But thats gives you no excuse to attack civilians." Sean said.
"Huh? Oh thats not us. We're not death Watch. We're known as the Vanguard. Death Watch is led by Vizsla." Katan said shocking them.
"The Governor?" Satine asked before small explosions went off before Sean looked and saw Vizsla and his small number of Mandalorians.
"Hello Kruger." Vizsla said grinning.
"So you're the one who's been attacking civilians on your own planet." Sean said grabbing his star Saber.
"For generations my ancestors fought proudly as warriors against the Jedi and that woman tarnishes our very name. And I refuse to serve some vow from 5,000 years ago. The Saxon clan back then refused to honor this vow and were exiled. I joined them and lead them." Vizsla said pulling out some special lightsaber. "This lightsaber was taken from your Jedi temple by my ancestors during the fall of the old republic. And now you will die by its blade." Vizsla said making him laugh which enraged him. "Why are you laughing?"
"I'm immune to weapons of science. Only Earth Based Magic can harm or kill me." Sean said making him charge at him in rage before trying to slash him only for Sean to slash his Star Saber at him making him fall back on the ground. "You may hold a lightsaber but learning to wield it is another." Sean said making him roar in rage before trying to attack him again but Sean kneed him in the stomach making him groan in pain.
The Saxon clan was about to rush in only for Katan and her Vanguard to stop them making them growl.
Vizsla yelled as he was thrown into a wall.
"You are without a doubt the most worthless of Mandalorians. Unlike those who keep their vow they have honor and fight with honor. You...Are nothing." Seans aid about to slash off his arm only for a rocket to hit the wall creating a cloud of dust Allowing Vizsla to escape.
"We'll settle this another time Kruger." Vizsla yelled as his men retreated making him snort.
Later
A republic cruiser was docked at the city ready to pick up Satine to head to Coruscant.
"But we have no way of knowing how wide spread Death Watch is." Senator Merrick said.
"Its obvious they are being backed by Dooku." Obi-Wan said.
"I disagree. I told you I wanted to stay out of this conflict." Satine said.
"We'll make sure of that. A military occupation would just cause problems." Sean said.
"Well, at least someone sees my point of view." Satine said walking away making Obi-Wan sigh before Sean smacked him in the head. "Ow!" Obi-Wan said.
"Do you still have some Goat brain in you! Why would you provoke her?" Sean asked annoyed.
"I was just saying the Truth." Obi-Wan said rubbing his head.
"We don't know that yet. We need solid evidence. And even if he was backing them it doesn't mean anything. Dooku knows he can't just attack a neutral system like that or his senate would begin to question him. Only reason he targeted the Elites was because of me" Sean said before Anakin, Ahsoka, Killer Frost and Diana walked to them.
"You two look like hell." Killer Frost said.
"Lets just say the peaceful ways of the Locals have worn us out." Obi-Wan said walking to the cruiser.
"Wait I thought Mandalorians were against the Republic and Jedi." Diana said seeing some board the ship.
"Apparently there are two factions in this. The Vanguard who have a vow to serve the Kruger Clan that originated from the days of the Old Republic. And then theres Death Watch who ignore this vow and want to kill Satine." Sean said.
"Just so long as we got some extra help I'm not complaining." Anakin said before they boarded the cruiser.
Later
The Cruiser was traveling directly to Coruscant so Satine could make sure her planet stayed Neutral.
Currently Sean was leaning against a wall as Satine went on about the war making him sigh.
"Honestly Satine there such a thing as too much peace." Sean said.
"No kidding."
Sean looked and saw a female Mandalorian with some rather...Unique armor on that didn't match the others.
"I take it like Katan you dislike her?" Sean asked.
"Mmm not really. Yeah I get it our entire planet is full of violence but making us peace lovers is a little much. Being just ordinary peaceful is enough."
Sean chuckled at this.
"Got a name?" Sean asked making her remove her helmet revealing she had tan skin green and blue hair and brown eyes.
"Sabine Wren. A member of the Wren clan." Sabine said.
"Ah I almost forgot like Earth Mandalore also has clans but unlike us you guys don't have special abilities." Sean said making her grin.
"Eh thats depends on your point of view." Sabine said making them both laugh.
"War in intolerable. We have been deceived into thinking we must be a part of it. I say the moment we committed to fighting, We already lost." Satine said making Sean sigh.
"Sheesh. What does Kenobi see in her?" Sean asked himself.
"Excuse me, Your Grace, are you suggesting we oppose the war on humanitarian ground?" Merrick asked.
"I'm going to oppose it as an affront to life itself." Satine said.
"And yet some might argue that the strongest defense is a swift and decisive offense." Obi-Wan said walking in with Anakin.
"That mostly depends on the situation." Sean said.
"You are quite the general now, aren't you, Master Kenobi?" Satine said.
"Forgive me for interrupting, Your highness, I meant no disrespect." Obi-Wan said.
"Really? Senators, I presume you are acquainted with the collection of half truths and hyperbole known as Obi-Wan Kenobi?" Satine asked.
"Your Highness is too kind." Obi-Wan said hiding his annoyance.
"You're right. I am." Satine said.
"Its like the bickering of an old married couple right here." Sean said making Sabine snicker.
"Allow me to introduce my fellow Jedi, Anakin Skywalker." Obi-Wan said introducing his friend and former student.
"I remember a time when Jedi were not Generals, but Peacekeepers." Satine said.
"We are protectors, highness. Yours at the moment. We fight for peace." Anakin said making her chuckle.
"What an amusing contradiction." Satine said.
"What Master Skywalker means is that we are acting at the Behest of your Highness to protect you from the Death watch and the Separatists, who don't share your point of view." Obi-Wan said.
"I asked for no such thing." Satine said.
"That may be so, but a majority of your court did." Obi-Wan said.
"I do not remember you as one to hide behind excuses." Satine said.
"I do not remember you as one to shrink away from responsibilities." Obi-Wan fired back.
"Enough." Sean said ending their argument. "There are two sides to every dilemma." Sean said.
"Indeed." Oola said standing next to him.
"I think we can get the Senate to agree..." Chuchi tried to say.
"I think a multitude makes discord, not good council." Satine said.
"Depends on your point of view." Diana said.
"There may be two sides to every dilemma, but the Duchess only favors hers." Obi-Wan said.
"Oh like you don't favor just yours." Sean said making Anakin laugh.
"Honestly these two are sounding like an old married couple." Frost said making Ahsoka nod.
"A republic Military presence is the only sure defense against the Separatists." Obi-Wan said.
"Even extremists can be reasoned with." Satine said.
"Even Abigor?" Sean asked gaining her attention. "He an extremist and yet he destroyed an entire planet alone and used the dead there to add to his undead army. Does that sound like someone who can be reasoned with?" Sean asked making her look away.
"Him most certainly not. But the Separatists are not unreasonable." Satine said.
"Perhaps if one could hear past the clanking of their battle droids." Obi-Wan said making her scoff.
"The sarcasm of a soldier." Satine said.
"The delusion of a dreamer." Obi-Wan said.
"Enough. This is completely pointless. I think a nice meal would calm some heads." Sean said.
"Fine!" Obi-Wan and Satine said in unison before she pushed him out of the way.
"What is the deal with you two?" Sean asked as he, Obi-Wan and Anakin left.
"Honestly those two." Frost said.
"You know I've been meaning to ask...But how did you and Sean meet?" Ahsoka asked making her smirk.
"Well...When I was younger I had made a name for myself. And not a good one at that. When the Military finally heard about my crimes they sent him after me. That was 11 years ago." Louise said.
"What happened?" Ahsoka asked.
"Had me dead to rights His orders were to kill me...He made a different call. Since then I've cleaned up my act and served the military." Louise said.
"Wait I thought enhanced people were a result of lab experiments." Ahsoka said.
"Well, they were. No one could explain it but after WW2 a lot of enhanced people just started popping up everywhere." Louise said.
Meanwhile
"A civil war killed most of Satine's people, hence her aversion to violence. When she returned, she took on the difficult task of her world alone." Obi-Wan said.
"You didn't stay to help?" Sean asked.
"That would have been problematic." Obi-Wan said as they went into a room and he sat down. "My duties as a Jedi demanded I be elsewhere." Obi-Wan said.
"Demanded? Its obvious you had feelings for her." Anakin said.
"Oh I did. But this was before the Jedi code changed to the current one that benefits all Jedi." Obi-Wan said.
"Ah. No attachments. I still don't see why that code was made." Sean said before the comms beeped. "Yeah?" Sean asked.
"Kid we a got a problem down here. Two clones are missing and yours and Anakin's droids are acting funny." Woods said.
"Fine. Anakin and I will go down. You stay with the Senators." Sean said as the two left.
Soon the two arrived in the lower decks.
"All right men whats the trouble? We're missing dinner." Anakin said.
"Not sure sir. But we're missing two clones." A mandalorian said.
"Mixer and Redeye." Cody said.
"R7, R2. Did you two see something?" Sean asked as they started beeping.
"I know, I know. but I'm here now. Use your scanners see if something is out of place." Anakin said as the two moved to scan the area.
"Lets split up. We'll cover more ground." Sean said as they went with their respective droids.
As they were walking Anakin noticed a container that was open.
"Sean, Theres an open container here." Anakin said.
"Anything inside?" Sean asked.
"No. I don't know what but there was something in here." Anakin said.
"Right. Keep moving." Sean said before R7 started beeping. "What is it buddy?" Sean asked before he saw a clone walking to them. "Redeye? Where the hell have you been? You had us..." Sean tried to say before he saw two metal legs moving him before grabbing his Star Saber just as the body was thrown at him.
It was an assassin droid.
"AHH! I hate these things!" Sean yelled slashing off the legs with ease.
"You all right?" Anakin asked rushing to him.
"I'm all right...LOOK OUT!" Sean yelled as one made it up the lift. "Shit! Obi-Wan theres an assassin droid heading up the lift!" Sean yelled.
"Understood. Secure the door!" Obi-Wan said as two gears moved to the door before it rushed through. However they used their lancers on the legs making it stop before Obi-Wan stabbed it.
"There might be one left." Anakin said.
"Uh oh." Sean said seeing smaller droids coming out before using Force lightning on them to fry them instantly.
Up in the diner the same thing happened before Oola and Satine started blasting them. Oola with a regular blaster and Satine with a deactivator.
"Do you always carry a deactivator?" Obi-Wan said slashing some of the little droids.
"Just because I'm a pacifist doesn't mean I won't defend myself." Satine said.
"Now you sound like a Jedi." Obi-Wans said as the last one was destroyed.
Down below
"How the hell did those get on the cruiser?" Woods asked.
"Simple...Someone smuggled them in. And I think I know how. It has to be a senator." Sean said.
"A senator? Why?" Anakin asked.
"How else could he cover his tracks?" Sean asked making him frown seeing his point. "The Senate seal is basically a cover to make sure no one knows which senator asked for something to be delivered no questions asked." Sean said.
"And how are we supposed to know who?" Sabine asked before Sean picked up one of the smaller droids.
"Come with me. Anakin stay behind and eliminate any other assassins." Sean said as the two left.
Above.
The group was gathered to resume their meal before Sean and Obi-Wan came in with the later holding a tarp over something.
"Whats that?" Oola asked before Obi-Wan pulled off the Tarp revealing the droid making her raise an eyebrow. "Sean? Care to explain?" Oola asked calmly.
"My theory is that this droid will attack anyone except the traitor who programed this thing." Sean said as Obi-Wan went around the table and the droid was violent towards everyone except...
"Senator Merrik." Sean said.
"Really, Commander...You're quite clever!" Merrick said smacking it up releasing the droid before Sean stomped on it. Merrick put Satine into headlock.
"Your coming with me." Merrick said making his escape.
"Now I know why I didn't like him from the beginning." Sean said before activating the comms. "Tal Merrick is the traitor. He's taken Duchess Satine hostage." Sean said on the comms.
"We've just finished our sweep down here. We'll be up in a minute." Anakin said.
Merrick made his way to the control room before firing on all the crew.
"Monster! You're a horrid monster!" Satine yelled.
"Get used to it." Merrik said before using the comms before Vizsla appeared. "Commander I have the Duchess but I'll need help getting off." Merrick said.
"Reinforcements are on their way." Vizsla said.
Suddenly Droid boarding parties hit the ship sending in Super Battle Droids.
"Ah great." Sean said as the remaining troops got armed. "You got find your girlfriend and I'll handle this." Sean said leading the troops.
"Right...No, Sean, She's not my..." Obi-Wan tried to say but sighed and went to find her.
The troops engaged the Super Battle droids before Katan and Sabine got in front and started blasting the droids.
"This is fun." Sabine said before Sean swung his star Saber creating a large blast.
Obi-Wan entered the control room seeing Merrik with Satine.
"Tal Merrik, you are under arrest. Release the Duchess." Obi-Wan said.
"Oh I don't think so. I took the liberty of wiring the engines to explode. I press this remote and we all die." Merrik said.
"Obi, if you any respect for me, you will not put so many lives at risk." Satine said as Merrik dragged her out to the pods that brought the Droids.
Sean roared as he slashed a large number of droids before one blasted a rocket at him from behind making him growl before Sabine blasted it.
"Don't tell me your so cocky with your immunity you left yourself wide open on purpose." Sabine said making him smirk.
Merrik made his way back to the pods with Obi-Wan following.
"Say farewell, Duchess." Merrik said.
"Obi-Wan, it looks like I may never see you again. I don't know quite how to say this, but I've loved you. From the moment you came to my aid all those years ago." Satine said.
"I don't believe this." Merrik said in disgust.
"Satine, this is hardly the time or place for..." Obi-Wan said before looking at her. "All right. Had you said the word, I would have left the Jedi order." Obi-Wan said.
"This is making me sick." Merrik said making Satine scoff.
"You have the romantic soul of a slug...Merrik!" Satine yelled stomping on his foot making him yell in pain. (Seriously? Thats oldest trick in the book) "And slugs are so often trod upon." Satine said.
Merrik was about to say something when someone tapped his shoulder.
"Huh?" Merrik said turning around and came face to face with Frost who touched his head before freezing him solid before tapping him as he fell and shattered into a hundred pieces. (He so deserved that for being a jackass)
"So uncivilized." Obi-Wan said.
"Oh lighten up." Louise said as Sean walked in looking at the remains.
"Nice. Place is secure we should be right back on schedule." Sean said.
Later
Soon the cruiser arrived back at Coruscant to a landing platform where Palpatine was waiting for them before they got off.
"A job well done, Master Jedi." Palpatine said.
"Sir." Sean said as most of the senators went to the next vessel to go to the senate building before Satine walked to Kenobi.
"How Ironic to meet again only to find we're on opposing sides." Satine said.
"The needs of your people are all that matter. They couldn't be in better hands with you to guid their future." Obi-Wan said.
"Kind words indeed from a mindful and committed Jedi. And yet...I'm still not sure about the beard." Satine said. (HAHAHA)
"Why? Whats wrong with it?" Obi-Wan asked.
"It hides too much of your handsome face." Satine said before walking to the others.
"A remarkable woman." Anakin said.
"Indeed." Obi-Wan said.
"I'll make sure the Senate does not send troops to Mandalore on the count that the Vanguard are now supporting our cause." Sean said following them.
Later
Soon the entire Senate was gathered.
"It grieves me to say it, but Death Watch is now a significant, deadly threat." Palpatine said.
"Mandalore is making great strides to find the leaders of this terrorist movement. They are not powerful enough to destabilizes our government. We will resolve this without conflict. If the Republic gets involved in our affairs it will only lead to further violence. Thus I shall reassert our position of neutrality." Satine said.
"Talk of an idealist." Mas said.
"No, those are the words of a pacifist and a people who have chosen non-violent action." Satine said.
"That may be so, Duchess. However, this message was delivered to my staff just this morning." Palpatine said playing a message of a man explaining the problem of Mandalore.
"Minister Jerec?" Sean asked remembering this man well.
"Sean you know this man?" Irons asked.
"Ay. He's an old friend I made during the three years I was spying on Dooku. Something here isn't right." Sean said before inserting something into the system.
"What do you think your doing?" Burtoni asked glaring at him.
"Getting the Truth. This is a fake message." Sean said shocking the Senate.
"Oh? And how can you tell commander?" Palpatine asked.
"When your in the military and develop technology you tend to notice a few things. Thankfully this program of mine can also play the original message. Just give me a second here." Sean said before the real message played explaining why the Mandalorian government refused the help of the Republic and Jedi. "I believe this is more than enough to show that Mandalore should..." Sean tried to say before an alert came through.
"What is it?" Satine asked.
"This is commander Star Scream." Star Scream said.
"Go ahead Star Scream." Sean said.
"We may have a situation here. That Red Scorpion you encountered...Grid I believe...He's just shifted the balance of power between the Separatists and the Republic." Star Scream said.
"Explain." Irons said before the projection of a factory in space appeared that was draining energy from the sun and then using that energy to create matter in the forms of battle cruisers and also create battle droids shocking the Senate.
"Oh boy." Sean said in shock.
"If Shockwave's calculations are correct which they usually are the Separatists will outnumber us in ships by the end of the year. Maybe even sooner if he builds more like this." Star Scream said.
"Hmm. Wasn't there another factory similar to this during the days of the old Republic?" Sean asked Palpatine.
"I believe it was called the Star Forge. The Jedi have the blue prints I believe But it would take decades to build something like that." Palpatine said.
"Uh...Maybe not." Sean said confusing the senate.
Later
Sean placed some book on the Chancellor's desk.
"This is what we're gonna use to create the star forge in an instant. Its an agent of Brigid. The Celtic Goddess of art Creation and Healing." Sean said. (From Legends of Tomorrow season 4)
"Oh my." Palpatine said.
"How does a book help us?" Anakin asked before Sean started drawing.
"FYI I absolute suck at art work." Sean said before drawing a stick figure making Anakin chuckle. "Watch." Sean said as the Stick Figure came to life.
"Whoa!" Sabine said in shock before it ran over to Anakin and kicked him.
"OW!" Anakin yelled holding his leg before Sean sliced it reducing it to dust. "Ok point taken. So why don't you draw the Star Forge?" Anakin asked.
"Didn't I just say I suck at artwork?" Sean asked.
"And yet you design weapons perfectly." Tarkin said.
"Thats different and all by computer. I can't draw for shit." Sean said.
"Let me try." Sabine said drawing but her lines vanished. "Wait what?" Sabine asked.
"I knew that was gonna happen. Humans from Earth have magic energy flowing through their veins. You do not. Thats why this book won't work for you." Sean said.
"That sucks." Sabine said.
"So we need someone who can draw perfectly to make the Star Forge bigger and better." Obi-Wan said.
"And I know exactly where to find someone. She's on Earth...I just hope she doesn't hold a grudge." Sean said.
Later
The Ebon Hawk flew to Earth before landing in the State of Florida.
"Ah I love it here." Sean said enjoying the warm air.
"Of course you do dragon boy." Ahsoka said making him smirk.
"For your information there are ice based Dragons." Sean said before they entered a art studio. "Just a little warning some of her art can be a little graphic." Sean said.
"Oh? Meaning she does violent drawings?" Luminara asked.
"Nope. She does Nude art." Sean said opening the door before two women were seen inside. The first was posing with her foot in the air with her arms out. She had Gold eyes white skin pink hair in two pony tails and she was nude.
The second was a woman with long blonde hair white skin and Brown eyes who was drawing before she finished.
"Ok Saya thats it."
Saya sighed as she relaxed herself. (Saya from High School of the Dead)
"Thanks Alexis." Saya said cracking her neck. (Alexis from Yugioh GX)
"You havent changed at all." Sean said making his presence known making them widen their before Saya rushed at him.
"Sean." Saya yelled jumping into his arms making him chuckle.
"Hello Saya. Nice to see you again...Although shouldn't you put on some clothes since we have guests?" Sean asked seeing Ahsoka and Luminara blush while Louise and Diana giggled.
"The female form is nothing be ashamed of so why bother when its just you and them?" Saya said putting on some glasses.
"Well, your not embarrassed about showing skin." Ahsoka said.
"Eh." Saya said shrugging shoulders before Alexis approached.
"Alexis?" Sean asked before she smiled and kissed him. "Huh I almost expected you to hit me." Sean said.
"I'm just glad you're ok." Alexis said.
"Girls these are Saya Takagi and Alexis Rhodes." Sean said introducing them.
"Nice to meet you." Ahsoka said shaking Alexis's hand while Saya put on a robe.
"Alexis is the Artist I told you about. And Saya is a colonel of the UNSC. Generals Shepherd's little student." Sean said making Saya grin.
"You don't look like one." Luminara said.
"Don't let her fool you by her appearance or outburst from before. When on the battlefield she can be very serious." Sean said.
"Not that we're not happy to see you but clearly this isn't a social visit. Whats up?" Alexis asked making him get serious.
"I need your help." Sean said pulling out the book making her frown. "The Separatists have built a massive factory that can use energy from the Sun and turn it into Matter. I know you said you wanted to do with War. But if there was anyone else on your level I would ask them first. The Republic needs your help." Sean said handing her the Book making her sigh.
"Where?" Alexis asked.
Later
Alexis stood on the finally Finished Super Star Destroyer that was in front of Coruscant's star.
"We're ready when you are." Obi-Wan said making her sigh before she started to draw. It took a while since this was very complex before finally she finished and a bright light appeared before it ended and the new Star Forge.
The Senate was watching in awe as the Star Forge was complete before a ground bridge opened up and Sean and Alexis came through on a platform.
"There you go. One Star Forge as ordered." Alexis said getting an applause from the Senate.
"An impressive job well done my dear. But are you sure you will not reconsider in using the book to help us further. Your very skill with it could change the tide of the war." Palpatine said.
"With respect sir I only did this because Sean asked me. I hate war honestly and I want nothing to do with it." Alexis said.
"I say we should make her use that book." Burtoni said before yelling as Sean threw his Star Saber at her platform.
"Thats three. Next time you mouth off will be your demise." Sean said snarling. (To my most Loyal guest the first time was when she tried to stop him from saving his allies the Elites)
However suddenly an Alert came up.
"Now what?" Sean asked before a distress beacon came up...From the planet Jakku.
"Jakku?" Irons said.
"Jakku is pretty much similar to Tatooine if not worse." Sean said.
"Nevertheless if Abigor has attacked again we need to investigate." Irons said.
"I agree. Mobilize the fleet. We leave now." Sean said walking away.
Later
A large number of cruisers came out of hyperspace.
"Ah hell not again." Sean said seeing the planet was exactly the same as Tatooine.
"Oh great this again?" Star Scream asked.
"Star Scream. Mobilize your air forces. Search for any survivors. And...Keep a close eye out for Abigor." Sean said.
"Understood." Star Scream said leading his troops.
Soon enough every trooper was on the ground.
Sean was with Bumble bee as they drove through the remains of the planet before Bee started beeping.
"No, my expectations are low for survivors if our last encounter is any indication." Sean said.
"Kruger we got some good news." Bulkhead said.
"Go ahead." Sean said.
"We think we have a survivor. I'm sending you the location." Bulkhead said.
"Copy that we're on our way." Sean said as Bee drove to the location.
Arriving at the location Sean saw what looked like some outpost before getting out just as Bee Transformed.
"Hmm." Sean said before hearing noises making him follow just as Megatron landed next to them.
"Where is this survivor?" Megatron asked before Sean using the force lifted some debris out of the way before he found the Survivor. A young woman who was two three years younger then him. She had white skin hazel eyes and brown hair and she gasped seeing the transformers before looking at Sean.
"Hello." Sean kindly.
"Who are you?"
"We're with the Republic. These are friends of mine. Bumble Bee and Megatron." Sean said. "Now who are you?" Sean asked.
"Rey. What happened here? All of a sudden there some purple blast and everything turned to glass. I got lucky when I hid in here." Rey said.
"Unfortunately that was Abigor's doing." Sean said pulling her up. "We're gonna get you out of here." Sean said.
"Will you now?" Abigor asked making his presence known making them face him and to their surprise he was holding a badly burned and limbless Anakin who groaned in pain before he dropped him.
"Just how far have you fallen?" Sean asked pulling out his star Saber.
"Not as low as you think. After all...There are people far worse then me. Truthfully I got what I came for." Abigor said picking Anakin up. "Both an army and one of yours." Abigor said laughing.
"The hell do you want Anakin for?" Sean asked.
"Oh you'll find out in time." Abigor said before Sean charged at him and roared as he tried to slash him only for him and Anakin to vanish making him roar in rage.
Later
The Republic was told of the situation just like before but this time Abigor took Anakin hostage after taking off his arms and legs and burned him. Padme was the most worried for the fate of her husband.
"I just don't get it. Why is he only targeting planets with the lowest amount of lives?" Sean asked.
"I believe I have a theory." Shockwave said gaining everyone's attention. "I believe he's targeting planets with the least amount of value as a test of his abilities. Working his way up till he can target planets that are highly populated." Shockwave said.
"It does make sense when you think about it." Ratchet said.
"Hmm. Yes, I suppose it does. This whole thing scared the living hell out of the neutral systems that all including Mandalore have joined the Republic out of fear for their worlds. Probably for the best." Sean said.
"We may have some more bad news." Ratchet said making him sigh.
"Of course. What is it?" Sean asked.
"Star Scream and Jetfire went back at this new Droid factory...And found this." Ratchet said showing video surveillance of two transformers Sean knew more than anyone.
"Lockdown and Arachnid?" Sean asked in surprise. (Lockdown from Transformers Age of Extinction and Arachnid from Transformers Prime)
"After the War ended Lockdown and Arachnid left the planet along with their drones." Arcee said (For their troops picture those decepticon soldiers from Transformers Prime while the soldiers the Autobots and Decepticons are from Transformers War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron)
"Drones?" Tarkin asked.
"They don't have sparks like us. They only obey orders without question." Bulkhead said.
"This is indeed troubling. Clearly this Lockdown has struck a deal with Dooku." Tarkin said.
"Oh I don't doubt it. When the war ended Lockdown flat out attacked me since he said peace time has no profit and figured if I was dead before it finalized the war would resume. But I kicked his sorry ass." Sean said making Bulkhead laugh. "He's more responsible for the death of Cybertron since his weapons which he sold to Megatron caused the death of the planet. So Dooku must be paying him for his services." Sean said.
"So now we're pretty much even in numbers right now." Ratchet said.
"For now. I still have plenty of allies in the Far Outer rim of the Galaxy. Many are a lot like Earth when it comes ti military. Some I've helped with major problems of corrupt leadership. Others save their planets from certain doom. However...Lockdown and the Zin...Are not the only threat out there. There are some who would join the Separatists...And there is one who are a threat to all in the galaxy who see their race as pure and the rest as trash." Sean said. (I ain't talking about the Highbreed from Ben 10)
"I hope we never encounter that one." Tarkin said.
"You should hope so." Sean said.
Later
"This girl Rey. She is very strong in the force. Much like you and Skywalker." Mace said as Sean and Ahsoka stood in front of the council.
"Yes I noticed. She is...Gifted." Sean said.
"We would like for you to teach her. Though she has no training has exhibited the ability to use the force. We would like you to help her learn since she seems to trust you." Mundi said.
"I see. I got no problem with that. But what of Ahsoka? With Anakin gone she is without a master and we don't know when or more importantly if we will find him." Sean said making Ahsoka look down.
"I will teach her."
Sean looked back seeing Hephaestus walking in.
"I trained many students in the golden years of the clan. Many who became legends." Hephaestus said.
"Allow this the Council will." Yoda said.
"And what of the Vanguard? Where will they be placed?" Fisto asked since there was still bad blood between them.
"Under The command of me, David, Turok and Hephaestus. They trust us so it will cause less problems." Sean said.
"Agreed." Mace said.
Authors Note: Oh things are really getting intense here. Now both armies are equal in troops and ships. And now Anakin is in the claws of Abigor. What are his plans? Find out soon. Now Next Chapter I've decided to do the old Cartoon of the clone wars since that was amazing back in the day. And as I promised heres a list of Every Major Transformer in the story and from which series.
