Chapter 34 The Unknown
It's been 2 months since the Death of Julius blood and since Sean was named King of the Clans like his father before him. Now the Republic's victories were practically easy on the ground and in space.
Currently Sean was meeting with the Chancellor regarding recent events.
"I knew the clans would help turn the tide in our favor." Palpatine said pleased by this.
"I can't say I disagree. Still the war won't be over until Dooku and Grievous are dead or captured along with the leadership like Gunray and the others that finance the Separatists. Then we have to convince their senate to rejoin the Republic which won't be easy." Sean said.
"I'm sure you can convince them. You did say you were friends with many of the Senators before you joined us." Palpatine said.
"True." Sean said.
"Now how goes our research into the Zillo beast scales?" Palpatine asked eager to hear the news.
"We're getting very close to replicating that armor for our cruisers and certain armor. I can't place it on the entire fleet since no one should be too powerful or if someone like Norris tried to plan a hostile take over." Sean said knowing he would do that.
"I suppose thats true. Which reminds me. I've been meaning to ask about your top level enhanced soldiers." Palpatine said making him frown a little.
"Hmm?" Sean asked curious.
"I was wondering who would be the strongest Enhanced on Earth." Palpatine asked.
"Uh technically that would be Doctor Manhattan." Sean said thinking of his large Blue friend who's mind rivaled his and another of his allies.
"I was hoping you could convince him to join the war effort like your friend Alex Mercer since he's been..." Palpatine tried to say.
"No." Sean said surprising him.
"No?" Palpatine asked surprised.
"Sorry but Jon's not gonna join the war effort no matter what I try or say since he's a pacifist and doesn't join military operations. Not since an incident in Vietnam in 2009." Sean said. (You'll find this Doctor Manhattan very different compared to the more blank and emotionless version)
"Oh? What happened?" Palpatine asked.
"It's...complicated to say the least. Just know he's not gonna join no matter what." Sean said.
Later
"Now I'm even more suspicious. Asking for him of all people is out right insane." Sean said.
"This Doctor Manhattan is that powerful?" Tarkin asked.
"Even with the Relics I have now I'd never be a match for him. No one in history could." Sean said. (The only people who could give him a challenge is Thanos or Darkseid or even Trigon)
"You know with all these enhanced people I have to ask something." Tarkin said.
"And that is?" Sean asked.
"Who was the very first to be enhanced by Science?" Tarkin asked.
"Oh thats simple that would be..." Sean tried to say before two Jedi walked in known as Cere and her apprentice Trilla walked in. "Something to report?" Sean asked.
"Master Windu sent us to investigate the Antarctic area of Earth thinking their may be Kyber Crystals for a future Jedi temple...Then we found something. An aircraft that has the symbol of a skull with tentacles." Cere said making Sean frown.
"Why does that sound familiar?" Tarkin asked.
"That is the symbol of Hydra. A rogue Nazi division that broke off with Hittler in the idea of conquering the world in the Red Skulls image." Sean said pulling up the image.
"What was it doing all the way out there? Theres nothing valuable in that region." Tarkin said.
"No idea but I doubt thats why you two are here." Sean said.
"No. We found someone inside the ice. You need to see this." Cere said leading him and Tarkin to the recovery room before they saw a large block of ice with someone inside making Sean widen his eyes.
"My god." Sean said.
"Who is that?" Tarkin asked.
"Captain Steven Rogers. Also known as Captain America...The first genetically enhanced super Soldier." Sean said.
"This is the first enhanced?" Tarkin asked.
"Yup. There were always speculations that he was alive out there somewhere. The last mission he fought against The Red Skull and neither of them were ever seen again after they boarded a highly advanced jet. Skull's objective was to bomb the states with something less powerful then a nuke but just as dangerous." Sean said. (He didn't have the Cosmic Cube it doesn't exist in this story but one infinity stone does)
Hours later
Steve slowly began to open his eyes finding himself in a room full of objects he was familiar with before listening to a radio talking about a baseball game.
Just then Natasha walked in wearing clothes from the 40's.
"Ah Good morning." Natasha said as he leaned up.
"Where am I?" Steve asked.
"In a recovery room in New York." Natasha said before Steve listened closer to the Radio.
"Where am I really?" Steve asked.
"I beg your pardon?" Natasha asked confused.
"The game...It's from 1941 I would know I was there." Steve said making her eyes widen slightly. "I'm gonna ask again." Steve said before Sean walked in.
"Told you this wasn't gonna work." Sean said.
"Where am I?" Steve asked.
"You are in a recovery room...Just not on Earth." Sean said confusing him. "Come with me." Sean said leading him outside the room before they walked out of the labs showing the outside and Steve widened his eyes seeing everything so advanced. "You've been asleep on Ice for a very long time." Sean said making him look around.
"You said not on Earth." Steve said.
"This is the planet Coruscant home of the Galactic Republic which Earth is allied with." Sean said before Steve looked around. "You ok?" Sean asked.
"Yeah I...I had a date though." Steve said.
Later
"So let me get this straight. Theres a galactic scale war called the Clone wars which originally started with droids fighting clone soldiers?" Steve asked.
"Thats how it started originally. Over the last 2 years the Republic has been gaining more allies in the war effort. Earth was the first then my allies started joining them as my enemies joined Dooku." Sean said.
"And Abigor...He just turned on everyone?" Steve asked.
"Yeah...For five years the Earth was under his thumb until the clan was slaughtered by someone almost 15 years ago. We thought he was killed as well until he showed up months ago." Sean said.
"I can hardly believe that. He was the one who said I belonged in the field the most." Steve said.
"People can regretfully change for the worst just as they can for the better as my father once said." Sean said before an alert came up. "Now what?" Sean asked before Heavy rushed in.
"Sir the Separatists are attempting to take Ringo Vinda. General Mercer has requested backup." Heavy said.
"I see. Prepare our forces and contact the Twin sisters Tiplee and Tiplar along with Sub-Zero, Smoke and Cyrax." Sean said. (The Last three are from Mortal Kombat 9)
"Yes, sir." Heavy said rushing off.
"Need a hand?" Steve asked making him grin.
"I figured you would join the fight." Sean said before pulling out his shield and handed it to him.
"Like Draco said. You fight for what you believe in." Steve said.
Days later
After the call for backup came Sean and his forces arrived on the ring station that circled the entire planet.
After several days of fighting neither side was gaining any ground but after more troops arrived the tide of the battle began to turn to the Republic's side.
"Forward!" Sean yelled slashing through a large number of droids with the blades of chaos.
"Incoming!" Heavy yelled using the Dragons talisman to blast through a large number of Regents. (Again from Battleship)
Fives was blasting through as many droids as possible before one downed droid aimed at him.
"LOOK OUT!" Tup yelled pushing him back before blasting it.
"Thanks Tup. I owe you one." Fives said.
"You owe me a lot more then that." Tup said before Echo rushed through using the Rabbit Talisman.
"I love this thing." Echo said grinning under his helmet.
"Don't get distracted. Keep moving." Sean said blasting an ice giant back.
Commando droids rushed in and tried to take out the heavy hitters when Cap's shield flew by them and cut their heads clean off and flew back to him.
"Thats some toy." Rex said making him grin.
"Push forward!" Cyrax yelled slashing through a large number of droids before Sub-Zero froze the next batch.
Turok rushed in with Sofia before turning into a giant bear and roared before rushing through a large humber of droids before turning human again as she slashed through the next batch.
"Tighten our flank!" Tiplar ordered before Elites carrying shields rushed forward creating a wall.
Mercer rushed through slicing through the droids with ease before they finished the last of them off.
"Ok thats the end of that." Sean said placing the blades on his back.
"The Tactical droid has called for reinforcements. Xenos." Tiplar said.
"Great. We'll have to rush through this. We'll come in from three ways. Turok will be on the left hallway. Mercer and I will be in the middle and the Twins will be on the right." Sean said.
"If we're making a run, we'll need backup. My men are severely depleted." Sub-Zero said.
"Heavy, You and your squad pick ten of your best and reinforce Sub-Zero's forces." Sean said.
"Yes, sir." Heavy said.
As the group dispersed Tup started rubbing his eyes.
"You okay?" Fives asked.
"Yeah, I...I just." Tup tried to say.
"Come on this is a textbook battle." Echo said.
"I know...I just...Don't feel like myself." Tup said.
"What do you mean?" Cutup asked before Tup looked at Turok.
"Follow my lead." Turok said.
"Jedi." Tup said before Motoko grabbed him.
"Hey! Whats the matter with you?" Motoko asked.
"Nothing Major. Come on lets move." Tup said as they rushed forward while she frowned before rushing forward.
Sean pulled out his Star Saber that was no longer merged with the Staff of Ra and slashed through the Zin with ease before destroyers rushed through before the wings of Nephthys appeared shielding him and his troops before Mercer rushed through and sliced them apart with ease.
"Move!" Smoke yelled before attacking several Zin warriors.
Batuo rushed through before using a Super Battle Droid as a shield before blasting several droids.
"HA! These tin heads give machines a bad name." Batuo said grinning.
Reaching outside they were met with heavy resistance.
"Keep up the pressure!" Rex yelled as they charged through before Tup froze for some reason and hit his head.
"Tup this is no time to freeze." Fives said before Tup looked at Turok and slashed through a Sentinel with ease.
"Good soldiers follow orders." Tup said taking off his helmet and approached him.
"Tup!" Fives yelled as Turok jumped down before Tup aimed at his head which he noticed.
"What are you..." Turok tried to say before Tup blasted him which Sean saw and widened his eyes before looking at Tup before Fives and Heavy tackled him down as Sean rushed to his brother.
"Turok!" Sofia yelled rushing to him.
"He's all right. His body shut down to recover." Sean said picking him up.
"Xenos!" Mercer yelled as several rushed at them before Sean pushed them back with the force.
"Fall back! Heavy I want Tup in restraints! I want answers!" Sean yelled.
"Yes, Sir!" Heavy said as they dragged him back.
Arriving back where they met the clones sealed the room before Sean inspected Turok who woke up with a groan.
"Why the fuck did Tup shoot me?" Turok asked annoyed.
"We're about to find out." Sean said as they approached him in a small room. "The hell happened out there?" Sean asked.
"We're not sure." Rex said before shaking Tup up. "Tup! Can you hear me?" Rex asked.
"Yes, Captain." Tup said.
"What the hell happened out there?" Rex asked.
"What do you mean?" Tup asked.
"Do you have any idea what you just did?" Rex asked before Tup's eyes widen and started saying Good soldiers follow orders over and over again.
"The fuck is he doing?" Sean asked.
"I have no idea." Rex said before Cutup waved his hand in front of his face before his eyes landed on Sean.
"Kill the Jedi." Tup said before charging at Sean who grabbed him by the throat strangling him.
"We're not gonna find out what happened if he's dead." Tiplee said calming him down before he dropped him.
"We're pulling out. Take him to the medical bay." Sean said.
"Yes, sir." Rex said.
"What do you think happened?" Steve asked.
"I have no idea. Tup's one of the most loyal soldiers in the clone army. This out of character for him completely." Sean said.
Later
Tup was strapped down on a medical bed before he came to as the others came in.
"Fives, what's happening to me?" Tup asked.
"You don't remember?" Fives asked.
"No." Tup asked.
"You tried to kill Captain Turok." Fives said.
"What? No...I would...I would never!" Tup said as he started acting out. "Whats happening to me!" Tup asked before he was sedated.
"The hell was that all about?" Motoko asked.
"I don't know. As far as I can tell this is a combat related stress. It seems he's had some sort of breakdown." Kix said.
"Kix, you should know better. We were designed to withstand any stress." Rex said.
"You guys are still human and humans aren't immune from everything." Steve said.
"I agree with Steve on this. There has to be more to it." Sean said.
"Well, it could be a virus maybe a toxin or drug." Kix said.
"You mean the enemy could have done this?" Sean asked.
"It's a possibility. There have been rumors that Grid has been making some Anti-Clone virus. Biological Warfare." Tiplee said.
"That doesn't make any sense though. Grid's MO has always been technological weapons not Biological. Why the sudden shift?" Sean asked.
"Dooku may have persuaded him." Motoko said.
"Hmm. Ok Look I want him to go back to Kamino and have a full detailed examination. Nothing held back. Motoko you will take Tup back and report your findings. I have to report this to the Council." Sean said.
"Right. Batuo your in charge of the 501st until I get back." Motoko said.
"No problem." Batuo said.
Later
Motoko and a small group of clones arrived at Kamino before taking Tup inside where Shaak Ti and Viktor Reznov met her.
"Major, welcome to Kamino." Shaak ti.
"I assume you know why I'm here?" Motoko asked.
"Sean sent us a message before you arrived. We're rather troubled by this development." Shaak Ti said Doctor Nala Se arrived.
"Major Motoko. We are ready to see the problem with this Clone." Nala Se said leading them inside another room.
"Tell me exactly what happened." Viktor said.
"We were in the middle of a battle and nearly won then Tup suddenly and without warning shot Turok in the head. He's alive thanks to his immunity to weapons of science but that part of him is still evolving since he's only half Kruger." Motoko said.
"I see. I've read the file on this clone. He's extremely loyal." Viktor said before they strapped him down.
"We are ready to begin the tests." Nala Se said before injecting him with something making him shake like crazy.
"Is that necessary?" Motoko asked.
"The subject needs to be awake in order to perform our tests." Nala Se said.
"I'm not fond of these tests." Shaak ti said.
"His reaction will subside." Nala Se said.
"If it gets us the needed answers I can live with it." Motoko said.
"As can I." Viktor said.
"Let us begin." Nala Se said extracting blood samples. "There does no seem to be any sign of infection in the blood." Nala Se said.
"Whats going on?" Tup asked looking around before spotting Shaak Ti and lashed out. "Kill Jedi...Follow orders." Tup said in a rant before Viktor sedated him.
"Hmm. If it's not an infection it has to be something else." Viktor said.
"The clone is in perfect health." Nala Se said.
"Might I suggest an atomic-level brain scan." A droid said.
"That is not required." Nale Se said.
"I disagree and Sean said nothing in the tests was to be left out period. And I don't think you want to argue with him since his brother was shot by one of the clones he trusts the most." Motoko said.
"Comence the scan." Viktor said getting him to do so.
"There does not appear to be anything out of the ordinary...Correction...I believe the clone has a brain tumor."
"A tumor? I thought the clones were immune to those." Motoko said.
"It's not a Tumor. It's an inhibitor chip. Designed to make sure the clones are completely loyal." Nala Se said.
"Why would you have those in the clones?" Viktor asked.
"To keep them loyal. Would you rather they behave like Colonel Norris's men?" Nala Se asked.
"I'll give you points on that." Motoko said understanding her answer since everyone hated those men.
"I believe the Chip inside the clone is malfunctioning and creating a different set of orders at Random. Removing it would solve this." The droid said.
"Then remove it. I think we have our answer as to why Tup acted the way he did. Clearly the Chip malfunctioned and created random orders and Turok was the victim of it." Viktor said.
"I agree." Nala Se said secretly relieved they bought her answer.
Later
"Ah so thats why all this happened." Palpatine said as Motoko gave her report to Palpatine along with Sean and Tarkin.
"Yeah it looks like the Chip just malfunctioned and caused Tup's breakdown. He needs time to recover but he'll be back in the field in a week or so." Motoko said.
"I see. I'm glad we got this settled out and nothing serious happened." Sean said as he and Tarkin left while Palpatine grinned.
"You're not buying that for even a second." Tarkin said.
"No and neither are you or her. I think it's time we find out whats really in those chips just to be safe." Sean said.
"Agreed." Tarkin said.
Later
"Nice to know Tup is gonna be fine and on a vacation of all things." Cutup said making the others laugh as they walked to Sean's office. Heavy, Fives, Echo, Cutup, Rex and Cody stood in front of Sean along with Tarkin, Thrawn and Yularen.
"You wanted to see us sir?" Rex asked.
"Yes. It's regarding the chips Nala Se mentioned. She claimed it was to keep you all loyal but then I remembered a report Anakin put in shortly before Ahsoka was placed under him as his apprentice." Sean said.
"What report?" Cody asked.
"Slick." Sean said making them widen their eyes remembering that.
"I remember that report. Slick turned on us for money and said we were slaves." Cody said.
"If the chips were truly meant to keep you loyal then why did he turn?" Sean asked.
"Thats actually a good question." Fives said thinking on it.
"We would like one of you to volunteer to have your chip removed so we may study it and see the true programing inside it." Thrawn said.
"I'll do it." Fives said.
"Very well." Sean said placing a device on his head. "This may sting a little." Sean said before.
"OW!" Fives yelled as it was extracted making the others chuckle. "I thought you said a little." Fives said.
"I lied." Sean said making Cutup laugh.
"Yeah very funny." Fives said annoyed.
"Now lets see whats on this thing." Sean said scanning it before the results came back and he widened his eyes. "Oh my god." Sean said.
"What is it?" Cody asked.
"Tup's chip may have malfunctioned...But it didn't create random orders. He was following the orders the chip gave him." Sean said confusing them.
"Wait what?" Fives asked looking at the data. "This...This has to be a mistake." Fives said in shock.
"What are the orders?" Rex asked concerned.
"The orders are to kill the Jedi under the order of Treason against the Republic." Sean said.
"What? Thats not possible." Cody said looking at it.
"The programing can't be activated unless a certain code or phrase is said." Sean said.
"This doesn't make sense. Why have us serve the Jedi and the Republic if we're just gonna turn on them?" Cody asked.
"Because this war is smoke screen for something far bigger. I believe the war was started to make the Jedi join the war and thin their numbers then when a certain point of the war came the chips inside were activated." Sean said.
"So we were created to help end the government and the people we serve." Rex said.
"I always wondered why so suddenly there was a clone army out of nowhere. And now we all know why. This has Sidious written all over it." Sean said.
"We have to warn the Republic and the Jedi about this." Cody said.
"Not so fast. If they learn about this Sidious will no doubt activate the chips and cause chaos. The war will be the least of our worries." Sean said.
"Our best option right now is removing those chips without alerting him." Yularen said.
"And how do we do that?" Heavy asked.
"I believe I have a solution. Do you recall the virus you used on the Zin empire?" Thrawn asked Sean.
"Of course. What about it?" Sean asked.
"Could you perhaps modify it to something nonlethal to use on the clones specifically. And we use a serum laced with the Latest Nanomites to not only cure the clones...But also destroy the Chips from within." Thrawn said.
"That actually might work perfectly." Tarkin said.
"We have to test the Nanomites first. They were originally designed to kill cancer cells." Sean said.
"I'll volunteer." Rex said making him sigh.
"Ok give me a second here." Sean said modifying the program before taking a syringe. "This might hurt a little." Sean said injecting them into him making him grunt in pain.
"Activating scanning device." Tarkin said as Rex's brain was scanned before the Nanomites attacked the chip inside him before it was gone. "It worked perfectly." Tarkin said pleased.
"Ow. I got a headache." Rex said before Cody used the Horse Talisman. "Never mind." Rex said.
"I'm starting to see why you took these out the temples." Cody said grinning.
"Now we just gotta get every clone in the army to get the injection." Sean said.
Meanwhile
"So the Chip inside Tup is what caused him to turn on Turok because it malfunctioned." Mace said to the Chancellor.
"Indeed. It was an isolated event so I wouldn't worry about it." Palpatine said before an alert came up. "Whats wrong Commander?" Palpatine asked.
"We got a situation at the labs. Clone troopers are showing signs they've been infected by a virus of possible Separatist origin." Sean said showing various clones all vomiting or in pain.
"Oh my." Palpatine said alarmed.
"Has anything been done to stop this?" Mace asked.
"I've made a cure but I need all clone troopers to return to the labs for an injection sequence. I can't risk this spreading so I need all of them back here ASAP." Sean said.
"I fully agree. Send the order to have all clones return as soon as possible before this virus spreads." Palpatine said.
"Right away." Sean said.
Later
After every clone was called back their chips inside their brains were destroyed without causing them harm other then a headache. All the while Sidious had no idea his plan to destroy the Jedi from within was now ruined and both the Republic and the Jedi were safe.
"If Sidious is really behind this I very much doubt he planned this all by himself." Tarkin said.
"There are always two. A master and an Apprentice. His master could have come up with this." Thrawn said.
"I don't think so. I think they've been planning this since their supposed extinction over the last thousand years. Slowly weaken the Republic's finances to the point they couldn't even afford a navy. And when a war finally broke out they needed an army and there were the clones." Sean said.
"And yet though the Chancellor constantly calls for more forces from your world and your allies. Why didn't he intervene?" Yularen asked.
"He may want this. Earth has an unimaginable amount of potential and his allies are also full of surprises." Thrawn said.
"And The Chancellor may be involved in this for power. Tarkin and I have been onto him since I first arrived. Something about him just bugs me." Sean said before an alert came up. "Oh now what?" Sean asked before Ratchet appeared.
"We may have located another Cyberton Relic. On the planet Mars next to your home world." Ratchet said.
"Mars? You know technically we could set up a base there for the Republic and use the Titans to bring life there." Sean said.
"I agree. Though I'm confused as to why there was no life there when experts said it could support it." Tarkin said.
"No one knows. Lets get that Relic before Lockdown finds it." Sean said.
Later
Infinity soon arrived on the planet Mars.
"Why would you want to put a base here?" Sabine asked.
"Best to be prepared for all events. Besides according to my scanners there are large Energon deposits here. And we need as much as possible since the Synthetic version is only useable for our ships and cruisers while unusable for the Transformers themselves." Sean said as they boarded a gunship before flying to the land.
"The Relic should be...Right under us." Ratchet said looking at a device in hand.
"Hold that thought." Sean said pulling out the Staff of Ra before blasting the ground for a minute before the Relic was seen in a container much larger then most.
"Why was it under ground?" Sabine asked.
"The Relics were launched long before the days of the Jedi or the Republic. After all this time the Relic was buried under ground." Ratchet said before Sean pulled the lid off.
"Oh wow." Sean said before pulling what looked like a shield out.
"Oh my." Ratchet said grabbing it.
"Whats that?" Cody asked.
"The Skyboom shield. This could block almost any attack from any weapon." Ratchet said. (From Transformers Armada but not combined with Minicons)
"Thats gonna be really useful. Hey." Sean said pulling out another Key.
"Thats three in a row." Bulkhead said.
"I'm starting to think there might be more of these." Sean said before the ground gave under him making him, Sabine and Cody fall through.
"Scrap!" Ratchet said.
The three landed on the bottom of the ground.
"Ow." Sean said before pulling Sabine up.
"Where are we?" Sabine asked.
"My guess is some under ground tunnels." Cody said before they spotted some ruins in front of them before they went inside.
"These are not natural cave formations." Sabine said.
"No they aren't." Sean said before they came into a chamber before seeing thousands of Red Pods. "Sabine I want you to go and scan those pods I'm gonna try something else." Sean said.
"Right." Sabine said rushing off.
"Sir...About the chips." Cody said.
"What you and the others learned stays between us. We can't risk having more people know about this until the time is right. Secrecy is our best option right now." Sean said.
"I suppose. I just don't like the idea of my brothers and I being used as pawns like that." Cody said.
"Well, if it makes you feel better when and if We find Sidious you can take your anger out on him." Sean joked making him chuckle.
"Hey, Check this out." Sabine said making them rush before they came to a pod before they saw a green alien inside.
"Hang on." Sean said thrusting his hand inside before tearing it open revealing a green female Martian before her form shifted into a green humanoid with long Red hair before she opened her eyes showing them to be Amber before she looked at them.
"I thought Martians were supposed to be little Green Men." Sabine said.
"Where the hell did you hear that? Don't tell me your listening to the Triplets of all people." Sean said annoyed.
"Who...Who are you people?"
"Easy now. We're just getting you out." Sean said gently pulling her out. "Why are you all inside these things?" Sean asked.
"Our planet was invaded by parasites that feeds on conflict. We hid ourselves here to starve them out. We were supposed to be set free when they all died off but I guess something went wrong."
"Got a name?" Sabine asked.
"M'gann M'orzz." M'gann said before the whole room shook. (her young justice 2010 version)
"I don't like the sound of that." Cody said before the wings of Nephthys came out of Sean's back.
"Cody, you and Sabine get the rest of those pods opened. I'm gonna see whats going on topside."
"Yes, sir." Cody said as he flew up.
Shao Kahn roared as he fought against a man he knew all too well.
"You should have sided with us when you had the Chance Shao Kahn."
"I do not listen to traitors. Shang Tsung." Shao Kahn said looking at his former advisor who sided with Abigor during the five years of hell. (Shang Tsung from Mortal Kombat 9)
"Hmph. Better a traitor then a Pawn." Shang Tsung said about to blast him when Sean slammed his foot into him forcing him back.
"Hello old man." Sean said flying in the air making him glare before blasting him but the wings blocked it.
"Kruger. You gave a great insult the last time we met." Shang Tsung said.
"You deserved it for your betrayal. And now your a member of the Red Scorpions. Can't say I'm surprised." Sean said.
"Hmph! I am the 5th most powerful member after you killed that fool Blood." Shang Tsung said as multiple amounts of Drones attacked Ratchet and the other transformers.
"You always allied yourself with the very worst." Sean said before blasting him making him skid back before growling as he used his magic to attack but suddenly he held his head in pain screaming. "Hmm?" Sean said before turning and saw M'gann with her eyes glowing.
"You're not the only one with special abilities." M'gann said making him grin.
"ARGH! Fall back!" Shang Tsung yelled before multiple Space bridges opened up and they left.
"Well, That was quick." Sean said landing.
Later
"So Earth's system also had a neighbor with life as well." Kenobi said as Sean stood before the council.
"So it seems. They were planning to make themselves known to Earth centuries ago but an invasion force of White liquid creatures stopped them and forced them into those pods to starve them. Either they died off or moved on. Most likely moved on but avoided Earth for some reason probably knew about what happened to Darkseid." Sean said.
"Most likely. Still what about the people of Mars?" Mace asked.
"They have agreed to join the Republic out of concern the invaders may return. In the meantime the base is under construction and the Titans and reshaping the planet to a lush green world." Sean said.
"Good. And what of this third key?" Mundi asked.
"I have no idea. Shockwave can't figure these things out and its his specialty." Sean said as the image of all three appeared. "However I am thinking perhaps theres one more out there at least. Whatever these things do their origin is around the time of the original primes so they must hold some purpose to something." Sean said.
"Powerful the original primes were yes?" Yoda asked.
"More then you can imagine. Science so advanced it was considered magic to modern Transformers. Whatever these keys do...We're not gonna find out any time soon." Sean said.
Meanwhile
"You failed to retrieve the Relic?" Dooku asked disappointed.
"Apparently Earth is not the only planet with life in the system. There are other Life Forms on Mars that are powerful. One alone nearly took control of my mind." Shang Tsung said.
"I see. Nevertheless the next time I deploy you to retrieve something so powerful...You will not fail." Dooku said.
"You expect me and my Red Scorpion allies to do all the work? Where are you Sith Armies like the old days? Your rule of two weakens you to a pathetic level." Shang Tsung said glaring at him before Dooku used force lightning on him making him yell in pain.
"Remember your place. Blood had more respect for his superiors. I expect you to do the same." Dooku said before he left. "And that rule...Will be ending soon enough." Dooku said with a grin.
Meanwhile
"Remind me why we're here?" Steve asked as they entered a Cryo chamber on Earth.
"I think you'll find this pretty interesting." Sean said opening one chamber in particular and Steve widened his eyes. In one of the Pods was Peggy just as he remember here. "After the war she knew you were still out there and wanted to wait for that date. I think once the war is over...You can keep it." Sean said making him smile.
"Your father's doing?" Steve asked.
"My Mother's actually." Sean said.
Authors Note: I got this one done pretty quick. Now Order 66 is no longer in play in any clone and now the people of Mars are part of the Republic. Now to My Loyal Guest regarding your question on what you were supposed to see. In your review you said you hoped Sean didn't give up all the treasure thats not what he did. What he did was use a large Diamond to finance the Republic with 10 times what it had prior to the war. As for the Reviews I don't know they may not have gone through. If you want to repost them be my guest since I was surprised you didn't say anything on the Authors Note or the Predicon and the reason Sean wanted the Kamino Scientists. Now Next Chapter is one many have been waiting for. Arana's Revenge and Next Chapter will be the last chapter that introduces a large number of Women in Sean's harem so be prepared for that. Read, Review, Fav and Follow. REVIEW MY LOYAL FANS! See ya!
