Chapter 32 Heroes on Both sides
It's been a couple weeks since the attack on Kamino and since the Prime minister sent some of his best geneticists to the Labs on Coruscant for his special project that required their skill. During that time several weapons projects were in the works to help shift the balance of power between the Republic and the Separatists. Several new Jaegers were created such as the new Gipsy Avenger that was stronger and faster then the original.
Currently Sean was in the Jedi temple playing a simple game of Earth Chess with Master Yoda.
"Troubled you are no?" Yoda asked moving a piece.
"Ah. The balance of power between us the Separatists keeps constantly changing. At this rate I'm thinking Aayla is right and this war may never end soon enough." Sean said moving a piece.
"True this may be. But like this game, the balance of power is never permanent. For a time we have the advantage then as swiftly." Yoda said moving a piece to take Sean's knight. "Lose that advantage you will." Yoda said making him chuckle.
"Yeah. I'm also more concerned every day we don't find Anakin. Abigor, he took him for a reason. Either because he has the most powerful connection with the Force...Or because of something else." Sean said taking his bishop. "You know...There was a time Abigor wasn't this monster he is now." Sean said.
"Oh?" Yoda asked intrigued.
"During the old days before the second World war...He was kind and compassionate. One of the most wise of the clan next to my father and some of the elders of the clan. But after the Last war...Something changed in him. Some say he was corrupted by the war...Others say he found something that changed him." Sean said.
"A darkness that found him perhaps?" Yoda asked.
"No one knows. My father thought that perhaps he had lost his faith in humanity. But even I doubt he could have seen how low he would fall. And he was king of the clans for hundreds of thousands of years." Sean said before he saw the look in his eyes. "Something you wanna ask?" Sean asked.
"The king of the Clans. How does one achieve such a privilege?" Yoda asked making him chuckle.
"My father won the right by defeating every Clan head during ancient times long before Technology existed. He won the respect and loyalty of the clans and kept them all in line and made sure they were all treated equally. As new clans came they offered their loyalty as well. As a reward for their loyalty and to make sure all the clans were equally powerful my father tasked Hephaestus with creating weapons for Each clan." Sean said taking his knight.
"Such as the Sword of Tangu that Master Saki possesses correct?" Yoda asked.
"Yeah. Every clan has a weapon or object of great power to make all the clans equally powerful to make them all equal." Sean said.
"And yet a new king has not been chosen." Yoda said.
"Doesn't work the way like the Jedi council. They can't just select someone for the position. It has to be earned." Sean said before Yoda took his king making him raise an eyebrow before looking at the board and scoffed in amusement while Yoda chuckled.
"Lost your focus you have." Yoda said.
"Argh! If Zakaev saw me lose he's say I need more practice." Sean said. (A reminder he's from Call of Duty modern Warfare and the Remastered version at that)
"Enjoyed this I have." Yoda said. (Honestly it's really difficult to write the way he talks from time to time)
"So have I." Sean said before leaving.
"Found you!"
"HEY!" Sean yelled as someone jumped on him "Motherfucker!" Sean yelled.
"You still have a mouth on you."
"Huh?" Sean asked before looking up seeing a woman his age with White skin violet eyes and Chestnut hair in two pigtails wearing the same battle gear as Xenovia. "Irina?" Sean asked.
"Hello honey." Irina said. (Irina from High School DXD from seasons 2-3. I hate the fourth season versions its just not the same you know)
"Another one?" Kenobi asked walking to them. "Honestly I'll never understand how you can handle them all." Kenobi said.
"Years of practice and patience. Allow me to introduce Irina a literal angel." Sean said as white wings appeared from behind her along with a halo on her head.
"A devil a Fallen Angel and a pure angel. I guess I shouldn't be surprised." Obi-Wan said.
"Well, technically Irina's an angel reincarnated and yes thats a thing. People can actually chose if they want to be one of the three by choice to build up numbers." Sean said as Ahsoka and Rey walked to them.
"Wait I thought if an Angel falls to certain emotions like lust or love they become fallen Angels." Ahsoka said.
"Normally thats true but Irina's a special case because of me. The Krugers and Angels have always had good terms with one another. Since I was considered the last of the clan at the time and Irina and I hit it off she was given special privileges without becoming a fallen angel. Although Raynare tried to persuade her to her faction to no avail." Sean said remembering all the times she tried to persuade her to the Fallen angels with some...Seductive skills. (I think we can all agree she would do that)
Suddenly Sean's nose started sparking.
"Ow. What the?" Sean said before something started flying around him shooting bolts.
"What is that?" Ahsoka asked while Irina whistled in innocence.
"Janet knock it off!" Sean yelled.
"Janet?" Ahsoka asked confused before something or rather someone landed on her nose making her raise an eyebrow seeing someone standing on her nose very small.
"Now you see me."
Sean caught this person.
"Gotcha!" Sean said before opening his palm making the others look and saw a woman leaning on her elbow.
"What the?" Ahsoka asked before she grew to regular size on Sean's shoulder.
"Hello dear." Janet said. (Wasp from Avengers Earth's mightiest heroes)
"Janet I swear to god." Sean said before Irina covered his mouth.
"Don't say the good lord's name in vain." Irina said.
"Don't start on that crap." Sean said annoyed.
"Uh who's she?" Ahsoka asked.
"Her name is Janet Van Dyne and she's a low level enhanced." Sean said.
"Low? I can shrink to the point you can't even see me." Janet said insulted.
"Whatever. Anyway I gotta a meeting with the Chancellor. Irina you go to Tsunade I'm sure she could use your help. Jan, you and Rey are coming with me." Sean said.
"Sure." Janet said.
Later
"Wow." Janet said as they passed by several senators of different species making Sean chuckle.
"Yeah it took me a while to get used to this when I was with Dooku." Sean said as they went to the Chancellor's office before Sean froze.
"What's wrong?" Rey asked before looking in said office seeing two women. The first had white skin long red hair with a belt that had a black widow symbol and green eyes while the second woman had tan skin brown hair and brown eyes wearing a special suit. Janet looked in and grinned.
"Oh girls." Janet said making them see them.
"Janet you bitch!" Sean yelled before running away in fear before the girls followed him while Janet giggled.
"What did you do that for?" Rey asked.
"Call it payback and as the old saying goes Paybacks a bitch." Janet said grinning.
"Shit!" Sean yelled before disk like objects hit him. "OW!" Sean yelled before falling on his face. "Ok this sucks." Sean said turning around before seeing someone pointing a gun at his face. "Hello Maria." Sean said looking at the royally pissed off Maria Hill.
"Don't fucking move." Maria said. (Maria Hill from Earth's mightiest heroes. I like this one better since she's more strict)
"I take it you're clearly pissed about me leaving. But is it because you missed me or that usual Protocol nonsense." Sean said making her frown.
"A little of both." The Redhead said making him look at her.
"Hey Natasha." Sean said making her smile. (Black Widow from Captain America Winter Solider. I like the smother red hair version of her better you know?)
"Hey honey." Natasha said before Maria pulled him up.
"You have a lot of explaining to do." Maria said.
"Oh for the love of christ. I would say me leaving had more positive effects then negative." Sean said.
"Oh yeah? Name one." Maria said.
"Stoping the Cyberton civil war by getting both factions to sign a truce minus Lockdown and his witch. Ending a 79 year war on Sera." Sean said shocking her by the length of said war. "Yeah I know it was that long. Freeing the Kree from a flawed ruler and preventing a war. Downsizing the Zin empire and the Incurians leadership and heavy weapons. Want me to continue?" Sean asked making her sigh.
"Ok fine you did more good by leaving and helping other worlds." Maria said.
"I left to learn as much from Dooku and pass on what I had learned that was my original objective. But now things have changed drastically." Sean said making her sigh.
"Fine I guess thats true." Maria said.
"So...Who are they?" Rey asked with a smirking Janet behind her.
"The red head is Natasha Romanoff also known as the Black Widow. She's an advanced operative with special training and has a high record of success." Sean said making her grin. "The second is Maria hill. She's an operative of an organization on Earth known as SHIELD. It was created after WW2." Sean said.
"Why?" Rey asked.
"Story for another time." Maria said as they headed back to the Chancellor's office before seeing him in his seat.
"Ah there you are." Palpatine said but Sean sensed something strange before the doors opened up and...Palpatine walked in.
"Ah there you...Are?" Palpatine said seeing himself in his seat.
"I didn't know you needed a double Chancellor." Burtoni said.
"I don't even have one to begin with." Palpatine said in shock.
"A rogue Skrull?" Mas asked alarmed before Sean chuckled.
"No. This isn't a Skrull at all but good guess. Enough games Mystique." Sean said looking at the double who smirked.
"Mystique?" Palpatine asked confused before his double started to morph before a woman with blue scale like skin appeared in his seat wearing the same kind of clothing as Rias and the other girls.
"I was just having fun dear." Mystique said grinning making him chuckle. (Mystique from X men apocalypse)
"My my. Your people never cease to amaze with countless abilities." Palpatine said impressed as she got out of his seat before he sat down.
"Oh if only you knew. This is Raven Darkhölme but she prefers Mystique for obvious reasons. She is actually a Mutant like Rogue and Psylocke. She can copy anyone's appearance like the Skrulls." Sean said.
"I say we arrest her for trespassing." Burtoni said before Sean snarled with sharp teeth appearing.
"Watch your mouth witch. I would think you would be grateful I saved your world but I guess you care more about money then your home world." Sean said making her scoff.
"For all I know you and this shapeshifter planned that attack." Burtoni said before Mystique took her form right to every detail. Burtoni screamed in shock while others laughed in amusement.
"How does it feel to see yourself, and the mirror probably always breaks." Mystique said using her voice making her growl since she was making her look like a fool.
"Enough! Kruger make your..." Burtoni tried to say before Sean glared at her with his dragons eyes and sharp teeth making him more frightening.
"Now, now. Lets be civilized." Palpatine said as Mystique turned to her true form.
"Now what did you want to see me about?" Sean asked looking normal.
"I'm afraid we may need to use your Electro Proton Bomb." Palpatine said.
"Huh? For what? I told the Senate that thing is not ready. If any transformer or Terminator gets close to that blast it may damage them." Sean said.
"I'm afraid you won't be able to ignore the senate on this one." Mas said making him snarl which made Mas gulp.
"I take my orders from him not idiots who don't know the first thing about warfare who go off bragging about the Republic victories." Sean said.
"Very true that you take your orders directly from me. However in this case I agree with the Senate considering their concern is understandable." Palpatine said.
"And that would be?" Sean asked.
"We have reason to believe the Separatists plan to invade Malastare." Palpatine said.
"Malastare isn't even part of the Republic." Sean said.
"True. However the Senate is concerned that if they invade and take over the planet they'll gain free access to their fuel." Palpatine said.
"What they want to buy their fuel still? We have Synthetic Energon now and the new engines in almost 80% of every cruiser." Sean said.
"Indeed. But we have just recently started talking with them wanting to join the Republic in order to pass our troops through their space." Palpatine said.
"I don't like this deal. I've met the leader of that planet and he's an arrogant tyrant who thinks everything should go his way." Sean said.
"If we don't help they'll gain access to all their resources and make the people slaves unless we give them help." Rey said making him sigh.
"Your young student is correct Kruger. We cannot ignore this if it means adding more allies to the Republic and access to their resources." Palpatine said.
"Very well. I'll see if I can speed things along." Sean said as they left before Palpatine smirked.
"This will help nicely to add their fuel to our supply." Mas said before Palpatine stood up and walked to the Window. "Is something wrong?" Mas asked.
"I have been ignoring the girl for some time with the thought I was over thinking it. But there is something about her that is...Familiar...And I finally believe I know what it is I'm sensing from her." Palpatine said grinning.
Later
"Careful." Sean said as Rumble and Frenzy were placing the weapon on some cables.
"Relax we know what we're doing." Frenzy said.
"Last thing I need is for that thing to go off in the labs and set us back by months." Sean said.
"Oh please you have backup drives at the other labs." Rumble said before the cable snapped.
"SHIT!" Sean yelled as he and Mystique caught it. "Now might be a good time to put on some muscle." Sean said before it was being lifted on its own. "Huh?" Sean asked confused as it was put into place.
"Don't tell me your getting sloppy now."
Sean turned and saw a woman with Red hair white skin and green eyes.
"Jean?" Sean asked. (Jean from X men evolution. I still say every girl from that series is the best version of all the X men girls minus Mystique)
"Thats all you have to say now?" Jean asked crossing her arms.
"Oh not this again. How many times I gotta say." Sean tried to say before he ran into an invisible wall. "OW!" Sean yelled before a woman appeared out of nowhere. She had Blonde hair white skin and Blue eyes appeared. "Hello Susan." Sean said to Susan Storm. (Susan Storm from Fantastic Four 2005 movie best version ever)
"You deserved that." Susan said making him sigh.
"Honestly." Sean said.
"What did you expect?"
"Oh great." Sean said annoyed looking behind him seeing another woman in military uniform with an open vest showing cleavage. She had Blonde hair white skin and blue eyes. "Hello Sonya." Sean said. (Sonya Blade from Mortal Kombat 9. It only makes sense that I used all the girls from MK since most of them are already here)
"Honestly how many do you have?" Kenobi asked walking in.
"Again you wouldn't believe me if I told you. Look can we hold this off for later I have something way more important to deal with then your issues with me." Sean said.
"And that would be?" Sonya asked.
"Possibly getting rid of Norris." Sean said.
"Oh. Fine then." Sonya said as he left.
Later
Norris walked to Sean's office seeing him along with Tarkin. Thrawn and Yularen along with Colonel Davis. (The Davis that was killed last Chapter I made up. This Davis is from Call of Duty WW2)
"You wished to see me?" Norris asked.
"Take a seat." Sean said getting him to do so.
"I'm going to assume this is a possible promotion of my rank due to the success my men provided in defending Kamino." Norris said arrogantly.
"Hardly." Sean said playing a recording of Davis's final moments.
"Wait. I can help you kill Kruger. He's my enemy as well." Davis said making Norris frown as it ended.
"Your men didn't even put up much of a fight compared to the rest of our forces defending Kamino. And this isn't the first time this has happened." Colonel Davis said.
"What are you trying to say?" Norris asked impatient.
"I am concerned your men are lacking the proper training. Not only that but there have been multiple complaints from everyone else not under your command regarding your men. Disobedience, Lack of judgment, Sexual harassment, Violent threats to superior officers, Lack of control, Slacking off. I believe...Your men are not suited to be soldiers period." Sean said making him jump up.
"My men are perfect soldiers! Unlike that savage brother of yours you adopted." Norris said making him snarl.
"The only savage here is you. You attacked an unarmed village because your racist beliefs. And then when you found out Turok was alive you tried to kill him. A three year old who had done nothing wrong or any of his family." Sean said making him glare.
"They don't deserve to live." Norris said.
"Oh but I believe otherwise. Turok's home and family were actually war heroes during the days of WW2." Thrawn said.
"Norris." Davis said gaining his attention. "You may have had a good service record prior to Abigor's rise to power. But lately you have become everything the UNSC is against and your troops are sloppy." Davis said.
"Hence as of this moment all your men are being called back to Earth for Revaluation. To see if they should continue to fight in the Grand Army of the Republic...Or if they should be given a dishonorable discharge." Tarkin said.
"YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" Norris yelled.
"We can and we did." Yularen said making him growl.
"Get out of my sight and head back to Earth. You'll be joining them all the same." Sean said making him glare before leaving.
"I can hardly believe he ever had a good service record prior to Abigor's rule." Sean said.
"People change son you should know that." Davis said leaving.
Walking outside Sean was looking over a new project that was just recently finished looking similar to Godzilla in a machine version.
"Another one of your creations inspired by movies?" Tarkin asked amused making him chuckle.
"Sorta. I can't use the original since I would be a laughing stock." Sean said pulling out a holodisk showing the original MechaGodzilla from the 1970's. (This one is from Ready Player one)
"So I see. I assume this is a prototype." Tarkin said.
"Mostly. It's piloted from within by control." Sean said before some of the cables snapped holding a Pelican. "AH SHIT!" Sean yelled jumping down before it fell but someone caught it.
"Don't tell me your buying cheep cables now." A man who was holding the Pelican up before putting it down.
"Alex?" Sean said seeing one of the top Enhanced known as Alex Mercer. (From Prototype and in this story he doesn't consume people and he's not evil like in Prototype 2 which always pissed me off since he was good in the first game...Mostly)
"Hey Sean." Alex said getting into an arm lock with him.
"I didn't expect to see you here." Sean said.
"Another enhanced I assume?" Tarkin said walking down.
"A top level enhanced. Alex Mercer is one of the High level enhanced in the UNSC due to having multiple abilities." Sean said as Alex's hands became razor sharp before his right arm turned into a giant blade.
"Very impressive." Tarkin said before an alert came up.
"What is it now?" Sean asked before Irons appeared.
"Theres a meeting in the Senate regarding buying more troops. Your presence is required." Irons said making him sigh.
"I hate politics. This is why there are very few politicians on Earth and more military. Makes things far more simple." Sean said.
Later
The Senate was in the middle of a massive debate.
"ORDER! Let Senator Saam Finish." Mas said.
"This is a matter not of philosophy. More troops are needed. The Xenomorphs as well as General Steppenwolf have turned the tide of the war. The Republic cannot afford to the let Separatist gain any more ground." Saam said.
"Our generals inform us our troops clones and our recent allies continue to perform valiantly. What we cannot afford is to be irresponsible. The Republic is near bankruptcy due to the cost of this war." Organa said getting an uproar from the Senate.
"Bankruptcy is not necessary, my friends." Senator Lufa said. "If we pass Senator Saam's bill to open new lines of credit, we will gain access to the needed funds." (A reminder he replaced Lott Dod after Sean exposed him as a spy)
"Won't this bill essentially deregulate the banks?" Mon Mothma asked.
"A small price to finance the war, is it not?" Burtoni asked getting many to agree while Sean frowned as he stood outside.
"This is why I hate politics and a majority of Senators. They don't know the first thing about what they're doing." Sean said.
"Agreed." Tarkin said.
"Members of the Senate, Do you hear yourselves? More Money. More Clones. More war. Say nothing of fiscal responsibility, what about moral Responsibility? Hasn't this war gone on long enough?" Padme asked.
"Senator Amidala, are you suggesting we surrender to the Separatists?" Saam asked.
"Of course not. But negotiation might be a better course of action." Padme said.
"You can't negotiate with those animals. The Xenomorphs are proof enough of that. You heard what the Supreme Commander said on how they reproduce! They use live hosts and The Separatists are clearly using people to breed more. Keep the war going!"
"Enough." Sean said making everyone stop. "I said thats how they reproduce. I never said for certain they were doing that since the Xenomorphs have their own planet and Dooku may have found it and are using them without using hosts since their could be billions on that planet." Sean said.
"I believe perhaps we should wait till everyone calms down from all this." Irons said.
"I agree." Mas said making three certain senators frown.
Nix Card, Lufa and Saam walked to his office.
"That legislation would have meant billions for us." Nix said.
"I tried my best to push the bill through." Naam said.
"You did your part, Representative. Senator Amidala is the problem." Lufa said.
"I thought age might temper her idealism." Nix said.
"I know people who could do something about her." Naam said.
"Thats task is more difficult then you might think." Lufa said.
"Gentlemen, the Trade Federation and Banking clan are about business not Violence." Nix said.
"In this case, our business is Violence." Lufa said.
"Precisely. With or without Senator Amidala, the Galactic Senate is unlikely to deregulate the banks until this war hits home." Nix said.
"What are you proposing?" Lufa asked as Nix smirked.
"Perhaps some unexpected bloodshed on Coruscant may change a few minds." Nix said.
"Coruscant has been attacked several times lately though." Lufa said.
"No, the attacks were directed at Kruger not the Republic and were all taken care of swiftly. This time it will be directed at the planet itself and then the Senate will want more troops and too pay for them...They'll need more money." Nix said.
"I like this plan." Saam said.
"No one cares what you think." Nix said.
Meanwhile
"You must ask the Jedi Council to speak with Chancellor Palpatine." Padme said to Sean.
"Please don't involve me with this. You know I hate politics." Sean said.
"A peaceful solution is the only way out of this morass of war." Padme said.
"Politics are not the role of the Jedi old or new." Sean said.
"Why not? Isn't it our role to advise the Chancellor?" Rey asked with Ahsoka and Turok agreeing.
"Uh I suggest you teach my student a thing or two on Politics since thats not my specialty." Sean said.
"After today I would have thought she's learn a great deal." Padme said.
"Truthfully we don't understand any of it." Ahsoka said.
"All those idiots talked about was deregulation." Turok said.
"War is complicated when politics are involved. But let me simplify it a little. The Separatist senate thinks the Republic is corrupt and controlled by corporations like the Trade Federation. In which case they aren't totally wrong in most ways. There is corruption in the Senate but its been shrinking a lot lately." Sean said.
"Thats one way to put it." Padme said.
"This is why on Earth theres very few politics involved and mostly all military. Less Politics means less complications." Sean said.
"But who controls the essential needs of the people then?" Ahsoka asked.
"The Military council does since the planet is now 90% military which makes the needs of civilians much easier. Even in war we're still doing better then most planets." Sean said before he got an alert. "I gotta go. I suggest you take these three with you since you could teach them a thing or two." Sean said as he left.
Later
"If Only I could speak with Senator Bonteri." Padme said as she, Turok, Rey and Ahsoka were in her office.
"Who's he?" Turok asked leaning against the wall looking outside.
"He is a she. A member of the Separatist Senate." Padme said.
"Your friend is a Separatist? One Of Dooku's pawns?" Ahsoka asked.
"The Separatists were once part of the Republic. I may not agree with them, but they're more then pawns." Padme said.
"So why not talk to her?" Rey asked.
"The Senate has made it Illegal. They feel official meetings would legitimize the Separatists." Padme said.
"Too bad you can't just go to her and talk." Turok said.
"Master Skywalker and I used to host what he called aggressive negotiations." Ahsoka said thinking of her original Master. Hephaestus was a good teacher and lived up to his legendary name during ancient times long before technology. Having taught her various combat forms as well as every defensive form imaginable.
"You just gave me an idea. You three are Jedi which gives you permission to go to Neutral worlds." Padme said.
"Your point?" Turok asked curious.
"We could arrive on one such neutral world and smuggle ourselves behind enemy lines." Padme said.
"You want us to use our status to get you to a Separatist world just to talk to a friend?" Turok asked.
"I haven't seen her or her family in so long. Besides it could help end the war sooner." Padme said.
"Welp...I got nothing better to do. Ok I'm in." Turok said getting Ahsoka and Rey to agree.
Meanwhile
"Hmm." Sean said looking over the MechaGodzilla project.
"That is some toy." Heavy said Looking at the machine making him chuckle.
"It's just a prototype. The next versions will be stronger and more powerful." Sean said before another gate opened up revealing a three headed metal dragon. "The Cyber End Dragon. Each head had a pilot seat to control the weapons." Sean said. (From Yugioh GX)
"Where do you get all these ideas anyway?" Heavy asked.
"Some I get from old movies like the Terminator series. Others just come to me." Sean said as what looked like a Large Mechanical Spider like tank walked by. (Launcher Spider from Yugioh)
"So I see. Can't wait to see the next one." Heavy said.
Meanwhile
Padme and the others arrived on Raxus before Bonteri took them to her home.
"Nice place." Turok said.
"Your Turok correct? Your brother spoke highly of you." Bonteri said.
"You know my brother?" Turok asked surprised.
"But of course. Many senators here know your brother when he was studying under Dooku. Truthfully I can't blame him for leaving to join the Jedi since they remind him of the old days of his clan before Abigor took over." Bonteri said before they went inside.
"Is that Lux?" Padme asked looking outside seeing a young man around Turok's age.
"Indeed." Bonteri said.
"He's grown so much, Mina." Padme said.
"Time won't strop, even if we are at war, and I'm afraid these events are shaping his young life." Bonteri said.
"With all due respect, but as a Separatist didn't you start this war?" Ahsoka asked.
"Ahsoka." Padme scolded.
"It's all right. That's a very polarized point of view, my dear. Would it surprise you to know that many of the people you call Separatists feel the same way about the Republic? And the Jedi? Lux's father was like that. Regretfully he was killed shortly after the war began." Bonteri said.
"If you'll excuse us." Turok said as they left.
"I sense Dooku's dirty hand in whats happening at the Senate." Padme said.
"He's just the leader of the Senate. He's not the leader of the entire universe." Bonteri said making her scoff.
"You actually admire him don't you?" Padme asked.
"Don't forget he brought Sean into all this and he's helped several worlds because of that." Bonteri said having heard the stories.
"True." Padme said.
"We can agree however this war needs to end. The question is how." Bonteri said.
"That is why it was so Urgent that I speak with you. Theres a debate if the war effort should be escalated. However many in the Senate are undecided on what to do." Padme said.
"Interesting. You would fin the Separatists in a similar Dilemma." Bonteri said.
"I am certain if you could convince your representatives to extend an olive branch of peace towards the Republic, there might be enough sympathy in the Senate to finally open negotiations." Padme said.
"I admire your spirit, Padme. I can at least put the motion on the floor." Bonteri said.
Later
After Bonteri managed to get the Separatist senate to agree to negations Dooku contacted his spies in the Republic.
"This is quite troubling. Your own senate voting to end the war?" Nix asked alarmed.
"I assure you, gentlemen, your worries are gravely exaggerated." Dooku said.
"How can you be sure this groundswell of peace won't continue? Where is the attack we were promised?" Lufa asked.
"We need fighting to feed the machine and our profits." Saam said.
"After our attack, the Chances of peace will disappear. The banking clan, the Trade Federation, and the Techno Union will each get their fair share." Dooku said making them grin.
Meanwhile
"Well, well, well. This is quite a stunning development." Palpatine said as Padme told him about the events.
"You excellency, we would be remiss, if not irresponsible, to reject the Separatists proposal." Padme said.
"Of course." Palpatine said.
"An end to the fighting would mean there's no need to borrow more money for more clones." Palpatine said.
"I can see why you would want so badly to believe that the Separatists desire peace. Whenever we offered our hands in peace they were slapped away. Not to mention as our commander said the new allies they've gained are very dangerous and will most likely not agree with it." Palpatine said.
"If I might speak with you confidentially. I know that this is sincere. I've been in contact with my old friend Mina Bonteri, and the origin of the proposal is with her." Padme said.
"Bonteri? How was the Dialogue established?" Palpatine asked.
"Does it matter? Chancellor, if the result is an end to the war?" Padme asked.
"I see your point, my child. Then, we shall put the vote to the floor." Palpatine said.
Meanwhile
At the power station a few enginers were outside the main station when a group of sweeper droids arrived.
"Droids? We didn't order a clean up."
Suddenly they transformed into killer droids and blasted them before rushing inside and killed the staff before all six combined into one big bomb setting for a few minutes. (Theres a reason I'm doing this differently then the Episode. Just wait HEHEHE!)
Back at the Senate
"Given that the Separatists have put a call for negotiations on the table, the need for additional troops seems ill-timed." Padme said to the senate.
"Which means there is no need to deregulate the banks." Organa said.
"I say we vote that down." Weyland said.
"There is a move to vote on the proposed bill to lift regulations on the banking clan." Mas said.
"Count Dooku said he would stop this." Lufa said.
The bomb suddenly went off destroying the power plant and blacking the city without power before the Senate building lost power before Red lights came on.
Across the area where the bomb went off several Space Bridges also opened up before several Xenos ran through making the people scream in terror before one jumped on a woman and opened its mouth before it's tongue like mouth went through her skull killing her before screeching into the air.
"We're under attack." Saam yelled though since the lights were dim no one could see him, Lufa and Nix grinning.
The Republics army rushed out.
"GO! GO!" Heavy yelled before a Xeno jumped next to him only to get caught in a net by a Yautja who roared.
"MOVE!" Marcus yelled as they rushed forward as a group of Xenos charged at them before his men opened fire on them.
A larger Xeno known as a Praetorian appeared before roaring loudly.
"AH SHIT!" Cole yelled before it tried to jump on them only for a wave of power to hit it reducing it to dust.
"You gotta be kidding me." Sean said annoyed.
"How did these things break through Shockwave's barrier?" Rex asked.
"I guess that bomb must have made an opening. Doesn't matter. Get rid of them!" Sean yelled.
"Sir, Yes sir!" Echo yelled as they rushed at them.
Later
"My report is that the bombing was indeed a Separatist attack. The bomb not only destroyed the Power plant but also made an opening for enemy space bridges sending in their greatest weapons the Xenomorphs." Sean said to the Senate.
"I vote we Deregulate the banks to get more troops." Burtoni said grinning.
Padme, Turok, Ahsoka and Rey walked to Sean who was talking with Tarkin.
"I'm returning your Padawan to you." Padme said.
"Sorry to hear your talks with Bonteri failed." Sean said.
"How did you..."
"I have eyes and ears everywhere. Still You almost succeeded so I'll give you credit on this. But clearly this attack was planned before you two met again. If you had met days earlier it could have actually ended the war." Sean said making her sigh.
"Now the Senate will vote to Deregulate the banks." Padme said.
"No they won't. I have a plan to get the money the Republic needs...Plus extra." Sean said.
"Meaning?" Ahsoka asked.
"You and Rey are coming with me. Turok head back to the temple." Sean said.
"And Just where are we going?" Rey asked.
"You'll see." Sean said.
Later
Sean, Tarkin, Rey and Ahsoka arrived at the Tallest mountain on Earth. Mount Everest.
"Wow. That was one tall Mountain." Ahsoka said.
"The mountain was created by the Clan elders during the beginning of the Clan history. Theres something very special inside." Sean said before they walked into a cave.
Once inside they soon came to a large Golden Door.
"Wait a moment. This is the Clan's treasure vault isn't it?" Tarkin asked.
"Bingo." Sean said as he pulled a lever before it slowly started to open. "Try not to get too distracted." Sean said before they walked inside as it shut again.
"But didn't Damian Knight clean it out?" Ahsoka asked. (To my Loyal Guest No Damian Knight doesn't exist. Thats just a character I made up like most Red Scorpions that were the weakest)
Walking to an opening Rey and Ahsoka gasped.
"Words cannot even describe." Tarkin said seeing an entire inner mountain of Gold and Jewels. (For those who've seen the Hobbit the Desolation of Smaug picture that but bigger)
"Why didn't Damian take all this?" Ahsoka asked.
"Who?" Rey asked.
"Oh right this was before you were found. Damian Knight was a member of the Red Scorpions and blackmailed Sean to giving up this place." Ahsoka said.
"Cause theres a guard here. If you see him say this exact phrase. The Black Arrow found its mark." Sean said.
"What does that even mean?" Ahsoka asked before he and Tarkin went in one direction.
"Guess we'll find out when we see the guard." Rey said jumping on a pile of gold before picking up some jewels. "This is every scavengers dream to find something like this." Rey said remembering her time back home before Abigor attacked.
"How does one place hold so much gold. I know the clan is 200,000 years old but this is ridicules." Ahsoka said kicking a gold pot away before a small landslide started coming down before it revealed something that was not gold. A red scaled face before a shut eye was seen making her gulp.
"Uh-oh." Rey said before it slowly started opening its eyes making them hide behind a pillar as something rose out of the gold revealing nothing other than...A dragon.
"Another thief coming here to claim that which is not theirs." The Dragon said looking around. "When will you people learn? The Kruger Clan itself was given these treasures for their work to create peace for you and others. And yet your selfish desires for gold and jewels for yourself makes you ignorant to what is truly important. Peace and unity."
"Wait a minute." Rey said stepping out.
"What are you doing!" Ahsoka called out as the dragon approached her.
"You face your death with honor thief." The dragon said about to crush her.
"The Black arrow found its mark." Rey said stopping him.
"What did you say!" The dragon said to her face.
"The Black Arrow found its mark...You're the guard of the Treasure cove." Rey said making him look at her.
"No one has said that phrase in a hundred thousand years. And only a Kruger would know that phrase. Who are you?"
"Rey. We were brought here by another Kruger. Looking for something to help the Republic." Rey said making him look at her through the eye as if he was looking into her soul before laughing.
"Ah. So thats why you've come. In this era Gold and Jewels are more valuable to help finance governments. The galaxy has evolved...Yet is still flawed like most worlds."
"Who are you?" Ahsoka asked.
"I am Smaug. And I have protected this vault since humans started making gold. They gave it to the clan as a gift for their services of keeping the peace. I was tasked with guarding the vault from thieves...Like him." Smaug said looking up and both saw the remains of Damian Knight hanging by a thread upside down.
"Oh so thats what happened to him." Ahsoka said.
"Hold on a second. You're a dragon and the Clan spoke highly of your kind saying you were all wise and powerful." Rey said.
"For good reason." Smaug said.
"But your the only dragon we've seen. Where are the others?" Ahsoka asked making him look away. "They're dead aren't they?" Ahsoka asked.
"Hmm? No. Not dead. Simply no longer in this realm. I'm sure you can agree that many desire great power for certain reasons." Smaug said.
"For peace." Ahsoka said.
"Most...But not all. Many powerful people desired the power of dragons for themselves to conquer the world. This became apparent when Humanity's need for war kept increasing and it concerned the Kruger clan greatly. So they and the Dragon council agreed to create a realm where the Dragons would be sent to so no dangerous foe would ever try to take their power." Smaug said.
"So why are you still here?" Rey asked.
"He's here because he's one of the few dragons that remained." Sean said with Tarkin next to him before Smaug approached him and sniffed.
"You...The blood of Draco Kruger who was the son of Drago Kruger. You are young but wise and powerful like all members of the clan." Smaug said.
"The clan has changed since..."
"Since Abigor violated it with his black magic. I know. All dragons could sense the change in the nature of the clan's side branch. They were corrupted by the most vile black magic ever conceived. But never mind that now. You clearly seek something here that is more then enough to finance this Republic you and the true Kruger Clan are aligned with." Smaug said before leading them somewhere before a door opened up revealing something.
"That will do." Sean said.
Later
"Deregulation is the only way to insure we have the necessary funds needed to buy more troops." Saam said as the Senate was arguing on what to do. After Dooku had contacted them that his people had been attacked and Bonteri was killed he withdrew the proposal for peace which sent the Senate in a rage for playing the innocent card. (I hate myself for letting her die I really do)
"This will destroy the Republic." Oola said.
"No one asked for your opinion woman." Lufa said making her glare.
"Care to fucking repeat that?" Sean asked walking on a platform with Tarkin.
"Uh Commander I apologize I meant no disrespect." Lufa said nervous.
"I'm so sure. Chancellor if you and the rest of the Senate would be so kind as to look into the finances of the Republic...I think you'll find we no longer need to Deregulate the Banks." Sean said making him and the others do so before most gasped in shock.
"Oh my." Palpatine said shocked.
"This is...This is 10 times what the Republic had before the war." Padme said.
"Consider it a donation from the Kruger Clan Treasury Vault with one single object." Sean said before pulling out a hologram of an extremely large Diamond.
"Ah so thats where you went. Very impressive." Palpatine said grinning.
"Perhaps you would like to place the rest of it in the bank?" Nix asked grinning.
"Why would I place all that treasure with the one who attacked Coruscant to begin with?" Sean asked shocking the Senate.
"WHAT! That is pure Slander! Your sounding like that Amazon Tramp!" Nix yelled making him grin.
"In this case...She was right." Sean said pulling out a recording of their conversation with himself, Lufa and Saam shocking the Senate while they looked horrified. "I bugged your office months ago waiting for you to fuck up. I was hoping to catch you talking with Dooku. But catching three of you...Thats a bonus and it'll make Diana happy." Sean said as their doors opened up before Diana rushed in and grabbed Nix's head and slammed him down hard making him groan in pain.
Alex jumped in and grabbed both Lufa and Saam who screamed in fright.
"Take them away." Palpatine said getting them to do so.
"Now before I make this deposit permanent I have some conditions." Sean said.
"Oh? And what conditions would those be?" Palpatine asked.
"50% of this is to be spent on the people of the Republic. We can't forget their needs are just as important otherwise what the hell are we even fighting for?" Sean asked getting many to agree seeing they had neglected their people. "45% will be spent on Military and thats more then enough." Sean said.
"And the other 5%?" Organa asked.
"The other 5% is to spent on hiring more engineers to help speed up the restoration of Cybertron. Many secrets remained buried in all the rubble. Secrets that could prove vital in ending this war sooner." Tarkin said.
"I believe all are in agreement?" Sean said getting all but one to agree.
"Then we are settled." Palpatine said as everyone left not seeing his secret grin on his face.
Later
"Why not just transfer all the treasure to the Republic?" Ahsoka asked.
"If I did that the Banking clans and Trade Federation would stop at nothing to bleed the Republic dry. Besides now the Trust between the two has been shaken greatly. The Banking clan is offering to send a large sum of money to the Republic as an apology for Nix's actions while the Trade Federation is slashing down the price of their services to keep in business with the Republic. I'd say we don't need to bring in everything." Sean said as they walked through the labs before coming to Shockwave's lab. "Any luck with the Synthetic Energon?" Sean asked.
"The Formula remains incomplete but for now it is a valuable fuel source for our cruisers. Ratchet is currently working on stabilizing the Formula. I have a new project in mind." Shockwave said showing a pod with yellow liquid inside.
"CNA. Your growing something?" Sean asked before looking inside seeing a large Metal Reptilian like creature.
"You are aware of the lifeforms prior to Cybertron history." Shockwave said.
"Yeah Predacons. Your cloning them?" Sean asked surprised.
"This is only the first. Since the planet is in ruins its difficult to locate other fragments to make more." Shockwave said.
"What are these Predacons? Ancient Decepticons?" Ahsoka asked.
"Uh no these creatures existed prior to the original Primes but were killed in an extinction level event. Shockwave is using the CNA in bone fragments to clone them." Sean said.
"Oh. Is that why you asked for the people of Kamino to help?" Ahsoka asked.
"No. I asked them for a personal project I made long before the war. It's called the Restoration project. Tarkin was made aware of it when Earth joined the war when we left on Infinity." Sean said.
"Restoration project? Restoration of what?" Ahsoka asked.
"An ancient species that existed 65 million years ago. You'll see soon enough." Sean said.
Meanwhile
Palpatine was in his office with Mas with a grin on his face.
"Isn't it remarkable? Every time I think I have that boy figured out he continues to surprise me. He plans everything out in advance no matter how large or small in every detail." Palpatine said impressed.
"What do you plan do about him?" Mas asked.
"Nothing of course. He will one day be what everyone hopes to find. The perfect successor." Palpatine said grinning. "And his student will be right beside him."
