Chapter 30 Cat and Mouse
Its been about a week since the Tetramands joined the Republic along with the Furon empire and since Camula attacked with her army of Kaiju and since Project Titan was made public. Since then the Slums of the Planet have been torn down and reconstructed into more military bases to provide extra room for Sean's projects. And as a bonus the people who once lived in these areas were given jobs to provide a nice source of income.
"Now that the Slums have been rebuilt for military purposes the amount of crime in these areas have decreased." Sean said looking over statistics of the area.
"I must admit I'm rather impressed by this. Now that the Slums are gone and people from these areas joined us our production results are higher then ever." Thrawn said.
"It is a bonus. Now what about our new engines?" Sean asked.
"Production is on high but we still have to replace the old engines from the cruisers that have old engines and that takes time." Tarkin said. "Plus diverting our cruisers from their current positions just to replace the engines would create opportunity for the Separatists." Tarkin said.
"On that I agree. Any available cruisers with the new engines will take their place before they return to receive the new engines. Once all the engines have been replaced we won't have to worry much since any new cruisers from the Star Forge will be quickly upgraded with the new engines." Sean said. "Now what about Project Black Arrow?" Sean asked.
"The project is ready for deployment any day. Though I'm curious as to where the parts came from to make this new project?" Thrawn said intrigued.
"From my allies in the unknown regions. You'll find I have many allies with technology that surpasses the Republics and some of my other allies." Sean said.
"So I've seen. One of the most effective weapons I've seen is the Hammer of Dawn from Sera. Originally designed to end a 79 year war between the COG and UIR. Both factions are smilier Earths countries America and Russia in many ways." Thrawn said having studied their history.
"I said the same thing to them." Sean said before Rey rushed out of breath. "Rey? Whats up with you?" Sean asked.
"Sorry but someone on the news is bad mouthing you saying your a threat." Rey said making him sigh.
"Oh great. Who the hell could it be this time?" Sean said turning on the news before the image of a man in his 40's with white hair and brown eyes appeared.
"Hello people of the Republic my name is Thomas Connolly and this is the Voice of the Republic." Thomas Connolly said. (From the Black List tv series. God I love that show. For those who haven't watched it I recommend watching it on Netflix since it is amazing especially with James Spader)
"Oh no." Sean groaned holding his head.
"Who's he?" Tarkin asked.
"Fucking Tom Connolly. A reporter from Earth's who's campaign is against me and my associates and always twists the facts." Sean said. (General Tigerdragon made it a point Sean should have someone like James Jameson from Spider man and Will Harangue from Ben 10 on the news bad mouthing him to make him look like a menace and I agreed and this was his idea)
"For years now the Republic has known a criminal has lived amongst us and has revealed the location of my home planet Earth which was very peaceful until he showed Dooku our home. I'm talking about the Terrorist known as Sean Ashburn Kruger of the criminal Kruger Clan." Connolly said showing Sean's photo when he was 15 with an angry look.
"What the fuck? This photo makes me look like an asshole!" Sean said annoyed.
"And I thought you already were?" Tarkin joked making Thrawn chuckle in amusement.
"Who's side are you on?" Sean asked annoyed.
"I think you look sweet in this one dear." Ivy joked as she walked in making him growl.
"How this all began? Years prior to the clone wars Dooku and this monster met and he sold out his people who were defenseless at that time." Connolly said.
"Defenseless? We're a military planet! How is that defenseless!" Sean yelled.
"Learning under the man who declared war against the Republic accusing her of curruption on high that was ruled by bureaucracy. And this monster sold out our planet for power just like the others in this trash clan." Connolly said making him growl. "Even more so he led battles against the Republic and made weapons of dangerous power to use against us." Connolly said.
"I recall you only created the Malevolence which was destroyed." Thrawn said.
"That was one of the only things I made for them since all my other weapons were in development." Sean said.
"Even worse he kidnapped a young Hutt to get gangsters to join them in their quest for power." Connolly said.
"Thats a lie. Ventress was the one who did that not him!" Ahsoka said as the other Jedi watched.
"He's always doing this. Twisting the facts since Sean was 10 and regularly tried to get him executed." Diana said placing a hand on her shoulder.
"I will never understand how people like this are so popular. I prefer April's reports since their all truths and no lies." Obi-Wan said.
"And what happened when he was captured? Was he sentenced to prison for life and better yet put down? No the Jedi order let him join them for some half ass information they clearly already knew. And these so call honorable guardians of the Galaxy let him join without so much as a complaint save for one. The honorable Jedi Master Arana who was ruined because of this monster." Connolly said.
"And now he's going after the Jedi." Thrawn said.
"Like I said he goes after anyone associated with me. Don't be surprised if your names come up." Sean said.
"To make matters even worse he accused the Senator of the Trade Federation of being a traitor with some clearly false evidence he made up and the Chancellor gave him the rank of Supreme Commander which he never deserved to begin with." Connolly said.
"Oh piss off." Sean said.
"And lets talk about his women." Connolly said.
"Oh no." Sean said in alarm.
"Oh dear." Ivy said.
"The ones known as Juri Han and the Devil Princess Rias turned into the monsters known as Kaiju and proceeded to attack the heart of the Republic with joy not caring who was hurt or died." Connolly said.
"WHAT!" Juri yelled enraged. "We hardly destroyed anything important YOU FUCKER!" Jury yelled as Chun-Li and Cammy held her back.
"And I thought you had a bad temper." Ahsoka said to Revy who sighed.
"He's just pressing all the right buttons to piss her and everyone else off." Revy said since he's done this before.
"Who does this man think he is?" Padme asked with Weyland, Oola and Chuchi.
"He's done this before. Most people usually ignore him." Weyland said.
"Then theres his allies which even just looking at can clearly tell their personality." Connolly said pulling up Megatron's photo.
"Uh oh." Sean said.
"This Warmonger destroyed his entire home planet for the taste of power and slaughter for himself and himself alone. And yet he's been forgiven of his crimes because of Kruger. Well I say this Warmonger deserves to be deactivated and sent to the scarp-yard." Connolly said.
"WHY YOU!" Megatron yelled blasting the screen.
"I NEEDED THAT!" Ratchet yelled turning on another.
"Be lucky he doesn't know what happened to Arana." Knockout said.
"And lets talk about Arana." Connolly said making him widen his eyes.
"You and your big mouth." Breakdown said.
"Jedi Master Arana was perhaps the only one who saw through the lies of Kruger who was allied with Senator Burtoni who's clone first fought for the Republic before Earth and the others joined the war against the vile Separatists. And what did Kruger do to him? Got him demoted and kicked off the Jedi Council and took his arm and his command while putting him in the Decepticon's lab of Knockout." Connolly said showing Knocking putting paint polisher on himself.
Knockout's jaw dropped in shock that this was shown before Everyone else started laughing.
"You got caught polishing yourself!" Bulkhead yelled.
"Oh!" Sean groaned holding his face. "Hey wait a minute! How did he get this video! This from security surveillance!" Sean yelled.
"Yes rather odd thing for him to have." Tarkin said.
"Fortunately Arana was able to break out of his prison but unable to go back to the order because Kruger has ruined his good name for his own agenda." Connolly said.
"Looks who's talking." Sean said annoyed.
"What did the Jedi council do about this? Nothing. They simple let him be what he is without a second thought. Proving they are just like Dooku and the Kruger Clan. Complete monsters." Connolly said.
"Oh bullshit! Dooku left years before hand on his own accord." Sean said having heard the story from him and the council.
"We all thought one Kruger was bad enough but now more are coming out the woodwork. One member in particular would be David Kruger the Oldest son of Draco Kruger who was asleep through the whole thing." Connolly said.
"I was in a drug induced coma because of Abigor and only for three years." David said annoyed.
"Shall we silence him sir?" A mandalorian asked.
"Don't bother. He's not worth it." David said.
"And now senior members of the clan are coming back. And worst of all Abigor Kruger is alive and destroying worlds like the monster he is creating a Zombie army." Connolly said.
"On that I actually agree." Sean said reluctant to agree with this idiot.
"But then I discovered this had all been planned." Connolly said making him frown. "The so called Supreme Commander is responsible for all of this. Even worse he let one of the Republic's greatest heroes known as Anakin Skywalker get taken by Abigor in order to add his wife to his band of whores." Connolly said.
"Excuse me!" Padme said in shock and anger at that remark.
"Oh thats it!" Sean said.
"I appeal to the senate and the Supreme Chancellor if not beg to hand over all the remaining Krugers to the Red Scorpions who are nothing more than victims. Let them have their justice and they will gladly join us." Connolly said.
"YOU FUCK!" Sean yelled
"And another thing. I recommend that Colonel Norris be placed as Supreme Commander and be given a full Pardon for accidental crimes against a native American Village. Turok Kruger should also be executed for..." Connolly tried to say before.
SMASH!
"Accidental Crime my ass! Norris is a Racist bastard! He flat admitted he killed them on purpose because he hates Native Americans and anything that resembled them!" Sean yelled enraged.
"Easy dear." Ivy said.
"Perhaps we should bring legal consequences into this to silence him." Tarkin suggested.
"Yeah good luck. He's protected by people in the government who also hate my guts." Sean said.
"And who are they?" Thrawn asked.
"Peter Kotsiopulos the director of the CIA. He's not allowed anywhere near me considering he tried to have me killed on a mission to make it look like enemy fire but didn't know I couldn't be killed by weapons of science. He got caught and got a severe warning. The other is Laurel Hitchin The National Security advisor who tried to get me on Death's row but failed and was given the same warning. Normally people like this are put down but when your in high places...It makes it more difficult." Sean said. (Both from the black List. All three are bad guys in the series)
"I see." Tarkin said before an alert came.
"Oh what now?" Sean asked before a clone appeared.
"Sir, we just received a transmission from Captain Turok and Admiral Yularen. During a supply mission they encountered a large blockade over the planet of Christophsis. Even worse Senator Organa and the troops below are trapped." The clone said.
"Thats not good. Have Infinity prepped for launch. We leave now." Sean said.
"Yes sir!" The clone said rushing off.
"Thrawn. Have Project Black Arrow on Infinity. Its time for a test run." Sean said.
"I will do so at once." Thrawn said leaving.
"Black Arrow?" Rey asked confused.
"A little project I just invented with my allies in the unknown regions. I'll get Kenobi." Sean said.
Meanwhile
Turok and his fleet were over the planet Christophsis trying to get past the blockade. However it appears the Separatists have gained a new ally. A species of Humanoid frogs.
"Damnit! Every time we get new allies they get new ones as well. At this rate we'll never be able to outnumber them." Turok said before the hologram of Organa appeared.
"The Separatists and their new allies have overrun our position. We are without food, Water and Ammunition. We can't last much longer." Organa said before his transmission ended.
"Damnit!" Turok yelled.
"The command ship is barring down on us." Yularen said as it approached them.
On said ship was a Spider like person who was clicking its front teeth in satisfaction. This was Admiral Trench one of the best military leaders in the Separatists. With him were his new allies.
"Fire all forward cannons. Separate the supply ships from the main cruisers. We will break them apart and destroy them." Trench said. "I smell fear...And it smells good." Trench said.
Outside one of the supply ships was hit.
"Damnit! We just lost one of the supply ships." Sofia said. (Former Red Scorpion from Red Scorpions strike chapter)
"Sir the Infinity has just arrived." A clone said.
"About damn time." Turok said.
Infinity along with a few Elite ships arrived
"Seems like Captain Turok has already begun his assault." Commander Cody said.
"Thats nothing surprising since I gave him the order not too attack. He and Anakin are very similar since they first met before the Clone wars." Obi-Wan said.
"Bloody Incursians." Sean said annoyed. (From Ben 10 Alien force)
"You know these creatures?" Thrawn asked.
"Similar to the Zin empire they're a war like race that resemble Earth's Toads and Frogs. How does Dooku keep finding the enemies I've made?" Sean asked.
"I take it you had to use that virus on them as well?" Obi-Wan asked.
"No. Their numbers were nowhere near as high nowhere close. Instead I took out their leadership by killing their emperor and destroying their heavy weapons and deleting the blue prints and the scientists behind them to prevent them from being recreated. I had assumed they would mostly be in a civil war but the higher ups most have stopped it." Sean said.
Turok was on the bridge when Sean in Hologram form appeared.
"Turok I want you to pull back." Sean said.
"Pull back?" Turok asked.
"I have something new that will help out." Sean said.
"Captain with Respect but now might a good time to regroup." Yularen said.
"He's right we're outgunned and outmatched right now." Sofia said.
"All right fine. Pull back." Turok said before his fleet pulled back to the moon.
"They are escaping. Should we pursue?" An Incursion asked.
"No lieutenant. Our orders are to blockade not chase. Recycle the shields and recharge all cannons." Trench said clicking his teeth.
"Yes, sir." A droid and Incursian said before bumping into each other.
"I have won this round." Trench said proudly before a transmission came through and a female Incursian appeared.
"Admiral shouldn't we go after them?"
"My dear Attea...Why bother when we have the planet secured. For now we shall wait for their next move. Stay in position and wait for my orders young one." Trench said ending his transmission.
"Hmph. Stupid Spider." Attea said annoyed.
Turok and Sofia arrived in the hanger where Sean, Kenobi and Thrawn were.
"Ok whats this new weapon?" Turok asked.
"You're looking at it." Kenobi said.
"Looking at what?" Sofia asked.
"Two steps close and you'd be kissing it." Sean said banging his hand on invisible metal before Thrawn used a Data pad to reveal an invisible ship that looked like an arrow.
"Whoa." Turok said impressed.
"I call it the Black Arrow." Sean said. (They never really gave it a name in the episode and General Tigerdragon felt this name suited it and I agree)
"Catchy." Sofia said.
"With any luck we'll be able to slip past those idiots." Sean said.
"How exactly are we supposed to take down the entire fleet with this thing? Doesn't seem realistic." Turok said.
"You won't be going on the offensive. You'll be delivering the supplies to the Surface." Sean said.
"Oh we're still running supplies?" Turok asked annoyed.
"Turok, we talked about this. I've said the same thing to Anakin." Kenobi said.
"Which clearly didn't take if he got captured...Oops!" Sofia said covering her mouth.
"Sofia! That was just plain rude." Sean said.
"I'm certain the Lieutenant meant no offense." Thrawn said.
"Wait who's he?" Turok asked now noticing him.
"Admiral Thrawn. Tarkin and I can't coordinate the entire military ourselves so Palpatine suggested picking another to help send out commands. He has a nearly flawless record. Only times he ever had difficulties was when Norris was involved." Sean said making him frown at that name.
"The man clearly has personal issues and lacks discipline." Thrawn said.
"No kidding." Turok said.
Meanwhile Yularen was checking something on the attack from earlier as something about it struck him as familiar before he found a symbol on the enemy flagship he knew all too well.
"Impossible. It can't be him." Yularen said before contacting am Elite. "Tell the commander to hold the departure." Yularen said.
"Be careful with those supplies. And stop screwing with the Grunts." Sean said as Tetramands loaded supplies on the Black Arrow while the Jackals were messing around with the Grunts.
"Commander." Yularen said approaching him with a Data pad.
"Ah Admiral. One of the Elites said you had something?" Sean asked.
"Yes. It's about the attack before you arrived. Something about it struck me as familiar." Yularen said.
"Meaning?" Sean asked.
"I believe the commander of the fleet blocking the planet is none other then Admiral Trench." Yularen said.
"If I recall correctly Admiral Trench was killed prior to the clone wars at Malastare." Thrawn said remembering that incident.
"Malastare? Wasn't that led by a Jedi Task Force?" Turok asked.
"Indeed it was. Trench's forces destroyed Republic forces prior to their arrival." Thrawn said.
"He's alive. I've met him on several occasions back then before the war. Dooku even wanted me to hand over the Malevolence to him but I refused since I didn't trust him." Sean said.
"So what now?" Turok asked.
"You will continue to fly to the surface to deliver the supplies. But I'm going with you." Sean said.
"With all due respect sir I wish to accompany you as an advisor. I've seen Trench's tactics first hand." Yularen said.
"Very well." Sean said as they boarded the Black Arrow.
"Hey wait up!" Matsu said rushing in.
"Your late." Sean said.
"I made it didn't I?" Matsu asked.
"True enough. All right lets get this over with." Sean said as Turok sat in the pilot seat before taking off and activated the cloaking device.
"Where did you get this cloaking tech anyway?" Turok asked.
"From my allies in the Unknown regions. Hell they have ships bigger then this that are completely cloaked." Sean said.
"Hopefully nothing as ugly as these Frog things. Ugh." Sofia shuddered making him chuckle.
Meanwhile
Trench continued to wait for the next attack but felt something off.
"Something is odd. The Republic should have attacked by now." Trench said before looking at his Lieutenant. "What is the situation on the ground?" Trench asked.
"The battle should be won within a day at the most."
"Hmm. We need to add some pressure on the Republic...Order our bombers to attack the Surface where Senator Organa is." Trench said.
"Understood."
In the hanger Droid bombers were activated before flying out the hanger.
"This thing is easy to pilot but I preffer Jedi Star fighters." Turok said.
"Oh stop complaining." Sean said before they got an alert.
"Dozens of Droid bombers are heading right for us." Matsu said
"I thought they couldn't detect us." Sofia said before Sean powered down the ship but was still cloaked.
"What weapons does this thing have?" Turok asked.
"Turrets and Torpedoes. But we can't fire while we're cloaked." Sean said.
"They're getting closer." Matsu said in alarm.
"They would have fired on us by now if they actually detected us." Sean said knowing their strategies. The Droid bombers flew right past them not even noticing them. "See?" Sean said before seeing where they were going. "AH SHIT! Their heading for the surface! Trench you fucking bastard!" Sean yelled.
On the surface
"INCOMING!" Woods yelled as the bombers attacked them.
"Oh sure thats fair! Attack us while were running on fumes you stupid machines!" Crypto yelled trying to blast them.
"Get me Kenobi." Organa said.
"We're under attack on land and in the air. We cannot hold out for much longer." Organa said.
"Trench is trying to force us to attack with the ships we have. Even with Infinity our odds of success are very slim." Thrawn said.
"We may not have much choice." Kenobi said before contacting Sean.
"Let me guess he's attacking the surface to get you to attack?" Sean said.
"Indeed. Our only option would to wait for reinforcements. Captain Keys and his fleet are hours away." Thrawn said.
"I knew I should have installed Space Bridges on all of them incase of events like this. We're gonna have to attack Trench with the Black Arrow." Sean said.
"Sir?" Yularen asked surprised.
"This way his focus is on us and not the surface." Sean said.
"Sean thats suicide." Kenobi said.
"Almost half the things we do is suicide. Prepare the Torpedoes." Sean said.
Trench continued to wait.
"Why have they not attacked us?" Trench asked before Attea appeared in hologram form.
"Shouldn't they have attacked by now?" Attea asked.
"Indeed...What could they be up too?" Trench asked.
"Ready?" Sean asked.
"Here we go." Turok said uncloaking.
"THERE! A cloaked ship!" Trench yelled.
"Fire!" Sean said getting Turok to fire four Torpedoes.
"Incoming Torpedoes." The Lieutenant said.
"Activate the shields!" Trench said getting him to do so before the shields activated just as they took a hit. "Foolish scum. Your no match for my Thermo Shields."
"Well, that didn't do anything." Turok said before they fired their missiles at them.
"Flares." Sean said getting Sofia to do just that and they hit the flares before they cloaked again but Trench's cruiser started firing on them.
"I got this." Turok said flying through it with ease before they stopped.
"At least his focus is on us for now." Sean said.
Trench narrowed his six eyes before Attea appeared.
"We missed." The Lieutenant said.
"We can see that! It's inviable!" Attea yelled.
"Silenece! No clone or ordinary pilot could dodge all those lasers so easily. We are dealing with a Jedi...But not just any Jedi. I believe we are dealing with the Traitor Kruger." Trench said shocking her.
"KRUGER! That bald headed monkey is here!" Attea yelled furiously.
"Indeed. And this is a perfect opportunity to prove once and for all that I am the superior general and he is nothing. Patch me through to their communications. I will speak with him directly." Trench said to his commander.
"I want to speak with him as well. I have words that need saying." Attea said.
"By all means my dear." Trench said.
Matsu was monitoring the frequencies when she picked up their transmission and rushed up front.
"Now that they are focused on us they won't attack the surface." Sean said.
"We may have a problem. Trench is contacting us." Matsu said.
"Contacting us?" Turok asked.
"Put him through." Sean said before he appeared.
"AHHHH! You didn't mention this Trench guy was a Spider! I hate Spiders!" Sofia yelled in horror.
"Oh for gods sake. Grow up." Sean said.
"I am Admiral Trench my dear...And I enjoy your fear of me." Trench said before Sean saw Attea.
"Attea? Is that you?" Sean asked as she glared at him. "Wow you really grew up since I last saw you. You were a little tadpole last time. I guess your kind age faster." Sean said amused making her growl.
"Don't talk to me like we're friends you Jerk!" Attea yelled.
"Oh are you still sore? I didn't have a choice. Your old man was gonna try to conquer the galaxy with the weapons he had. Besides...You would have just tried to kill him yourself." Sean said making her growl.
"Uh who's she?" Turok asked.
"Her name is Attea. She was the daughter of the emperor of her people before I killed him. She was a little kid last time I saw her up to my knees. I guess her kind age faster." Sean said shrugging.
"Back to the matter at hand traitor...It was a bold move to attack me...But then again I suppose I should have expected it. You always care so much for the innocent. Your vessel is very impressive...But I have dealt with its kind before and destroyed them with ease. Your only option would be to surrender to me as I am the superior leader...And you are nothing but a boy from a backwater planet." Trench said.
"A backwater planet with incredible powers and 90% military." Sean said.
"Either way. If you surrender to me...I will leave the planet alone and the innocent shall be spared. Think on it if you will." Trench said ending his transmission.
"Yeah thats not happening." Sean said.
"He's said he's dealt with this ship before." Yularen said.
"How?" Sean asked.
"What was that for? Why would you say we would leave if he surrendered!" Attea asked confused.
"I know how he works. He cares for the innocent no matter what world. He will surrender to us and in doing so grant me a position higher then Grievous." Trench said laughing before his transmission ended.
"Over Confident if you ask me." Attea said.
"It's true. There are records of his battles fighting cloaked ships." Thrawn said in transmission.
"What kind of ships?" Turok asked.
"Mostly Cruiser to Cruiser. Nothing as small as the Black Arrow." Kenobi said.
"Nothing this small usually has a cloaking device. Maybe he's tracking the Magnetic Signature." Sean said before placing a hand on his chin.
"What are you thinking?" Thrawn asked.
"I think I got an idea." Sean said ending his transmission. "Prepare torpedoes and uncloaking." Sean said.
"This better work. I wanna fry that ugly spider." Sofia said.
"Thats makes two of us. Uncloak." Sean said getting her to do that.
"Unexpected." Trench said before they fired Torpedoes at them but the Shield activated. "Fire!" Trench yelled.
"We can't fire unless the shields are down." The Lieutenant said making him growl.
"Lower the shields and fire!" Trench yelled as they fired missiles at them just as they cloaked.
"Here we go." Turok said flying the Black Arrow to Trench's ship.
"Uh sir the ship is heading right for us." A droid said.
"Raise the shields!" Trench yelled.
"Uh we can't. The shields are recharging." A droid said.
"Keep going." Sean said as they flew at Trench making him widen his eyes before they passed by him. "Enjoy the gift motherfucker!" Sean yelled as he closed his eyes when his own rockets hit his cruiser making it explode.
"YES!" Sofia yelled in celebration.
"Trench is down!" Sean said on the comms.
"Excellent work. Thrawn and I will..." Kenobi tried to say.
"Hang on a second." Matsu said playing their transmission.
"This is Commander Attea. All forces on land and space pull back." Attea said before she appeared in hologram form. "You win this Time Kruger." Attea said as he took off his helmet.
"I always win. See ya around frogger." Sean said teasing making her blush before growling at him as her forces pulled back.
"Is there something between you two?" Turok asked.
"Nah. Just messing around with her." Sean said.
"Prepare our forces to land to drop off fresh supplies." Thrawn said.
"Agreed." Kenobi said.
The Black arrow landed before dropping off supplies.
"Jeez Kid you missed all the fun." Crypto said.
"We had our own fun blowing up Trench and his ship." Sean said.
"Kruger I have no idea how you did it but you saved many lives today." Organa said.
"Just doing my job. By the way...Why did you pick this position? Theres more cover about five miles to the east." Sean said.
"Oh. I didn't mention this since I couldn't take chance of the Separatists listening in. We found a Cybertron Relic. Two actually." Organa said surprising them.
"Two?" Sean asked before Organa led them somewhere else before they saw what looked like a giant Hammer. "Oh my god." Sean said.
"You know what this is?" Yularen asked.
"The forge of Solus prime. Like Hephaestus's hammer this hammer can make any object you could dream of or improve it." Sean said.
"Meaning we could use it to make improvements to the Stare Forge." Yularen said.
"Maybe. But the power inside is limited since it uses ancient power. If I can find a way to duplicate that power it may be unlimited. Whats the other relic?" Sean asked as a pod appeared.
"Lets crack this thing open." Crypto said as Sean tore the lid off before looking inside.
"Huh?" Sean asked before pulling out another Key like before.
"Don't we already have that?" Turok asked.
"Yeah. Whats up with that?" Sean asked confused rubbing his head.
"Another one?" Kenobi asked walking to them with Thrawn.
"We already have one like this. Whats the deal?" Turok asked.
"Possibly there could be a two key system thats required." Thrawn said.
"Hmm. We'll figure this out later." Sean said before something dead dropped down in front of him making his eyes widen seeing a black creature with a blade like tail and a second mouth like tongue. On the neck was some metal collar.
"Oh yeah we fought off a dozen of these things." Crypto said.
"Oh no." Sean said in alarm.
"Sean?" Kenobi asked.
"I think the balance of power has shifted to Dooku's hands again. This...Is more dangerous then your worst nightmare." Sean said.
Later
"Their called Xenomorphs." Sean said to the Jedi council in his labs showing a hologram of a Xenomorph.
"A rather strange creature." Thrawn said.
"Strange sure. But it is more dangerous then you could ever imagine. One alone is enough to kill and entire crew of a light cruiser." Sean said shocking them.
"Don't you think your overselling it?" Adi asked.
"Hardly. My allies that gave me that cloaking technology have made it a mission to make sure these things stay away from the rest of the galaxy. Their the only ones that are equipped to deal with them as a threat. And its not just this form that makes them dangerous." Sean said before showing an egg before it hatched revealing a strange creature that had finger like legs.
"Whats that?" Tarkin asked.
"I call it a Face hugger. This is why." Sean said as it latched onto the face of a human before letting go.
"I fail to see the exact danger." Adi said.
"Wait for it." Sean said as the hologram human started screaming in agonizing pain before a Xenomorph burst from the chest shocking the council. "Thats a Chest buster and then." Sean said as it morphed into a Xenomorph by Cocoon.
"What an absolutely revolting creature." Yularen said in disgust.
"I agree. These allies of yours. We're gonna have to call them for help. If Dooku does indeed have these monsters on his side it will certainly shift the balance of power in the war." Tarkin said.
"I already called them. They are on their way here." Sean said.
"These Xenomorphs are they limited to just these forms?" Thrawn asked.
"No. There are various types depending on circumstances. Their are drones, Warriors, Runners, Praetorian, Queen and another thing they have acid for blood." Sean said showing various holograms.
"The queen certainly has similarities with the Geonosian queen." Kenobi said. "If I recall you mentioned this when Luminara was captured."
"Yup. There are a large variety of Xenomorphs. But this." Sean said pulling out the collar from before. "Is how Dooku is controlling them. Some kind of mind control device. And I have no idea where he found them or if he's mass producing them." Sean said.
"If Dooku is using people to mass produce more Xenomorphs his senate will turn on him." Mace said.
"Or." Sean said getting their attention. "He may have found the Xenomorph home world." Sean said.
"They have their own planet?" Yularen asked skeptical.
"Don't act so surprised. We all have our home planets." Sean said.
"Indeed. Though I'm curious you sound as though you've never been there." Thrawn said.
"I haven't nor have my allies for a long time. The location of that world has been long lost since their more ancient days." Sean said.
"They must be an ancient culture." Kota said.
"More then you could ever imagine." Sean said as everyone left. "Yularen, A word please." Sean said getting him to follow him to his office.
"Something you wish to say Commander?" Yularen asked.
"Yes. Since the amount of allies of the Republic are going to increase I will need another here to help strategize our forces. I would like to select you for that task." Sean said surprising him.
"I'm rather surprised. Admiral Thrawn has a better service record then I." Yularen said.
"Yes but even he'll have his hands full with the amount of allies joining the Republic." Sean said. "Plus I need help in overseeing projects that could turn the tide of the war." Sean said.
"Very well Commander. I gladly accept the position. On one hand I almost would have thought you would have Chosen General Skywalker for this task. His tactics may have been unusual but no one can deny they got needed results." Yularen said making him chuckle.
"True." Sean said.
Later
"Xenomorphs? They sound and look disgusting." Ahsoka said to Sean as they walked the halls of the Temple.
"You're not wrong on that. The first time I encountered one was by mere chance. Damn thing blended in perfectly with the shadows because of its skin texture. And it blends in even more so with the hive which makes it damn near impossible to see it until it moves." Sean said.
"Do how did you find these allies of yours?" Ahsoka asked.
"Their warriors who I have deep respect for. They hunt down those who've committed crimes of mass murder and various other crimes. But their number one objective is to make sure the Xenomorphs never get within the rest of the galaxy. A handfull of worlds have fallen because of these things in the Unknown regions." Sean said.
"They're that dangerous?" Ahsoka asked.
"More then you could ever imagine. I would say their far more dangerous then the Sith of old. One could wipe out the crew of a light cruiser. An army could conquer an entire world." Sean said before he stopped.
"What is it?" Ahsoka asked before Sean looked up and widened his eyes as a Xenomorph was on the ceiling before screeching as it jumped on him.
"FUCK!" Sean yelled kicking it into a wall making it growl before going after Ahsoka but she dodged before slashing it.
"Look out!" Sean yelled pulling her back as its blood spewed out before it started melting the ground and walls.
"What the?" Ahsoka said confused.
"I told you they have acid for blood." Sean said before fighting could be heard inside the temple. "AH SHIT!" Sean yelled as they rushed in.
Kota was fighting against a small swarm of the Xenomorphs before one tried to jump him from behind only to get electrocuted by Sean using force lightning killing it.
"When you said these creatures were dangerous...You may have undersold it." Kota said slashing one and dodged the acid.
"I thought I was pretty clear." Sean said sending a wave of power at them with his Star Saber before they turned to dust making him widen his eyes looking at his sword. "Jeez Dad what the hell did you do to this thing?" Sean asked.
Barriss fought against a large swarm of Xenomorphs before she got pushed down by one who opened its mouth about to strike her before a plasma blast killed it sending it away from her before the Jedi looked up seeing a cloaked creature before it decloaked and revealed itself as an armored warrior who roared loudly. (Imagine the roars from AVP since those were way better you know)
"Allow me to introduce my allies...The Yautja." Sean said as several appeared and roared into the air before jumping down to assist the Jedi against their greatest foes.
Mace was fighting against a large swarm of Xenomorphs before a flying disk like object flew at them and cut off their heads with ease while another was blasted by Plasma.
Kenobi slashed the head off one Xenomorph before one tried to jump on him from behind only to get a net shot at it making it hiss before being shot in the head.
Sean roared before slashing his sword at a large wave of Xenomorphs as a wave of power from his sword hit them making them die on impact before one attacked him from behind only to get grabbed by the tail by the leader of the Predators before slamming it into the walls before cutting the head off.
Soon the Xenomorphs in the temple were dead with the Jedi suffering only minor or major injuries but no deaths thanks to their new allies.
"I must admit your friends are very capable warriors like the Elites." Kenobi said.
"You'll find a majority of my allies are capable warriors in many ways." Sean said as one took off the head of a Dead Xenomorph. "And have very unique culture. They take the heads of their foes as trophies before taking the skin and blood off. It's unique but I respect their culture." Sean said.
"Now the balance of power in the war has shifted." Mace said.
"Indeed. And I still have many mores allies I can contact if Dooku continues to gather his own allies." Sean said.
Authors Note: Finally I got this done. Sorry I didn't update any other stories last week. I was facing writers block and decided to take a little break. Now Next Chapter is gonna be a good one. It's time to return to Kamino Where Grievous and his forces attack. Now to My Loyal Guest dude your killing me. You gotta stop complaining about every little detail you don't like. I know Thrawn and Tarkin were bad guys but only during the days of the empire. This is before that so they can change. And I'm not adding girls at Random since that would imply I'm adding girls that can't contribute to the War effort which a majority can do easily. And another thing What do you mean Nora West Allen is Plain? Do you have any idea how many people loved her during the season 5 of the Flash? And What do you mean gave her speed? She had speed already. And stop saying my chapters are lame and just enjoy what you get otherwise I won't update the stories you like. Read, Review, Fav and Follow. REVIEW MY LOYAL FANS! See ya! And one more thing I made this very clear when I started this story I will not add Padme to the Harem. I like it better when she's with Anakin.
