Chapter 323: THUNDER
Chapter 323: THUNDER
Commander Cody received his orders and called Alexander instantly, "Sir, Order 66 has been initiated. You are in command now."
Alexander gave them their orders, "Okay, the war is over. Tell all the Jedi what Palpatine was planning. Then return to Coruscant. Pass this order to all the commanders."
"Yes, sir." Commander Cody saluted.
Cody then opened an open voice channel to all the troops, "Initiate Order 66, command has been received. War is over, return to Coruscant. Tell the Jedi everything."
In an instant, all the Clone troopers fighting across the Galaxy stopped. The Jedi Generals with them were shocked but then they noticed that the Droid army wasn't attacking either.
Commander Cody stopped Obi-Wan Kenobi and relayed the message to him.
"Why did you all stop, Commander?" Obi-Wan asked.
"General Kenobi, we have new orders."
...
On Planet Kashyyyk,The battle had stopped with both sides miraculously retreating, Commander Gree was telling everything to Yoda.
"Initially the Order 66 was to identify all Jedi as traitors to the Galactic Republic and, therefore, subject to execution by the Grand Army of the Republic.
"Supreme Grandmaster found out about this and paid Kaminoans to change the protocol to bring all the Clone troopers under his command if an order 66 was initiated.
"No one knew about this change. I just received the command from Chancellor Palpatine, also known as Darth Sidious, to Execute Order 66. He doesn't know what this order truly means."
Yoda lost his balance and sat on the ground. He understood the consequences of Order 66 if it was not changed. All the ten thousand or so Jedi would have died from betrayal.
"Blind we have been, always right beside us, was the enemy. Indebted to Supreme Grandmaster we all are." Yoda muttered.
"Grandmaster Yoda, we have received orders to return to Coruscant. The war is over." Commander Gree notified him.
"Yes, return we must." Yoda nodded and they left.
...
Back on Coruscant,
The Senate was in session. Palpatine was giving his speech. He had turned into his ugly self thanks to Alexander's order to Douglas to give him a good electric shock. It was widely known that the Chancellor was attacked but no one knew who did it. "The war is over. Separatists have been defeated, and the Jedi rebellion has been foiled. We stand on the threshold of a new beginning."
Claps echoed throughout the senate building.
"In order to ensure our security and continued stability, the Republic will be reorganized into the first Galactic Empire, for a safe and secure society which I assure you will last for ten thousand years."
"An empire that will continue to be ruled by this august body, and a sovereign ruler chosen for life... An empire ruled by the majority... Ruled by a new constitution," Palpatine announced. The dumb senators didn't realize what was truly happening. They were just happy that the war was over and they could go back to making money and other leisure activities.
Mas Amedda came closer to Palpatine and whispered something, "My lord, something happened. The Jedi didn't die. The Clones betrayed us. They all have arrived near the Coruscant and surrounded the planet."
Sidious's mind worked in fast mode and quickly came up with an idea, "My friends in the Senate. I just received the news that the traitors of the Galactic Empire are still alive and have appeared outside with the fleet.
"I ask you all to stand with me and fight them. They are already weak and tired. They cannot keep on going for long. WE MUST STRIKE"
...
Out in space, all the Jedi returned to Coruscant only to be denied landing, and orbital cannons were directed at them.
They all gathered in Alexander's Super Star Destroyer that appeared not long after.
"Haha, good to see you all are safe." Alexander entered. He went to Ahsoka and gave her a head pat, she insisted on going to fight even though he denied it. He was honestly a bit worried about her.
"Wise One, thank you for watching over us. I am sure many of us would have lost our lives if Palpatine's plans were successful." Obi-Wan grievously said.
"Hmm, it's Darth Sidious now. He was never Palpatine. He was Darth Sidious even before he became a Senator. He was the student of Darth Plagueis." Alexander revealed.
"So the tragedy of Darth Plagueis you told us about... It was him?" Ki-Adi-Mundi exclaimed.
"Yes, and I am sure he has already announced us as traitors and is leading the Senate to attack us. Nothing to worry about though. We will reveal his plans and identity to the public soon." Alexander assured them.
"What about the separatists?" Obi-Wan asked.
"Count Dooku and General Grievous both work for Sidious. This whole war was a facade to slowly destroy the Jedi Order and make the Sith Empire. But I had put my second-in-command on dealing with separatists long ago and now the Droid Army is under our control." Alexander explained.
...
For the past few years, Darth Sidious had been planning on overtaking the Galaxy. He knew that he would need a lot of firepower for this. So, he also had ordered to build a secret fleet of ships for his empire, alongside the Death Star. He called it the Imperial Fleet.
Some of his personally selected Clones and Droids were going to be fighting for him.
Soon the Republic Fleet appeared in front of the Jedi Fleet. Jedi Fleet was smaller because most of them contained big transporter ships as they were only supposed to go to other planets and lay siege.
Dart Sidious's voice soon came through the Holocomm. Alexander could see that he was still in the Senate and everything was happening live in front of everyone, "Enemies of the Empire, lay down your weapons. This war is over. If you continue it then it will only cause senseless death"
Alexander scoffed and hacked into all of the Galaxy's comms. His voice and face then appeared on every screen and every hologram, "Darth Sidious, Dark Lord of the Sith, your schemes have been unearthed now. No matter what you do you can't be saved."
Then Alexander addressed the whole Senate, "You all fools, you can't even see what he is doing? He just declared he is changing the Democratic republic into a Galactic empire. He will be the emperor and have all the power. You all will be nothing but his slaves.
"Look at his face, does he look like a good guy? Also, that face is exactly like any other Dark Lord in our history. Sheev Palpatine is Darth Sidious, the ex-apprentice of Darth Plagueis. If you still support him even after knowing this then you will be considered a traitor to the Galactic Republic and will face consequences once I deal with him."
All the senators felt the reversal of the situation. A moment ago they were calling the Jedi traitors and now they were being called traitors.
Then Alexander addressed the people, he was already famous among them for fixing the whole Undercity and many more good deeds across the Galaxy, "My people of the Republic. Do not worry, this evil man will not win no matter what. Democracy will not fall"
Darth Sidious's eyes twitched. His plan had fully backfired but he had to keep the show running, "Hah, what proof do you have? And I can defeat you easily. Look at my fleet and then at yours."
"Haha, I have plenty of proof. I have caught Count Dooku, General Grievous, Darth Maul, 6.2 million Clone Troopers who can testify that a chip was planted in them with specific protocols. Including Order 66. Then there is also the Kaminoan Prime Minister. All these people can testify that you are Darth Sidious and that you were planning all this for many years." Alexander revealed.
"And if you are worried about my Fleet, then let me show you something." Alexander smirkingly said. His smile made Darth Sidious feel ominous.
Everyone kept on looking at the screen. Then after a few seconds, loud electric guitar music started to come. It was continuously getting louder.
?AC/DC - Thunderstruck?
The guitars were continuously playing. Then the drums started and with that, white lights started appearing in the space all around Coruscant.
Ships started to appear out of hyperspace, first, it was just ten huge ships, then a hundred and it kept on increasing. After a while, everyone lost count because the whole space was flooded with them.
There were 50,000 Super Star Destroyers, around them were tens of thousands of normal star destroyers and other powerful ships. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of Starfighters around then.
Just when everyone thought there couldn't be more surprises.
The music got much louder. Then the vocals started.
?THUNDER...?
?THUNDER...?
Out of nowhere, a planet-sized golden metallic ship appeared from hyperspace. Dobby also seemed to be acting over the top and he used his devil fruit ability and created thunder all around the Ironheim.
?THUNDER...?
The song continued.
All the Super Star Destroyers and Ironheim used tractor beams and caught all the Imperial ships. They were all shoved into Ironheim like it was a packman eating ghosts.
In a matter of minutes, the whole Fleet disappeared. By the time the song ended, all the action had subsided and no sign of conflict remained.
Alexander then flew to Iroheim and took the helm. He again projected himself from inside it. "You just saw my might, Darth Sidious. We, the Jedi Order, are keepers of the peace, but that doesn't mean we don't know how to fight to protect the said peace. Surrender now."
Darth Sidious had his rotten eyes nearly falling out, "M-My Death Star!"
Alexander scoffed, "Your death star was destroyed by me not long ago. This is my personal ship and it is called Ironheim.
?Imperial March?
Dobby played the music behind him. Alexander muted his speech and looked back, "Goddamit Dobby, I'm no villain. I am very happy you grew out of Teen pop but this is not the time to mess around."
The music stopped and Alexander went back to speech.
?I'm a Barbie girl in a Barbie world.
Life in plastic, it's fantastic
You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, life is your creation?
Alexander again muted, "DOBBY!"
"Boss, it's not me. I didn't play the song. I didn't play any songs." Dobby clarified.
Alexander instantly knew who it was, "Accio, HUTS!"
The fat cat appeared in his hand. "Stop that music. This is not the time."
"But I thought you liked that kind of stuff." Hats argued.
"I do like music but not the kind that makes me compromise with my self-respect. No music now." He ordered.
Finally, everything went normal and he talked again, "So, the war is over. Darth Sidious will be caught and trialed soon."
He ordered his troops to land on Coruscant and arrest all the members of the Senate and Sidious.
