Star Wars: Summoning UNSC in Galaxy far, far away!

Chapter 10: Chapter 9 : Reactions are always interesting!



//////////////

Change of POV: Alex's POV

Whoever said that piloting a Space Ship from Star Wars is difficult task indeed lied.

At least when it comes to hovering above the ground, rather than actually flying it in the air.

You have a wheel, you pull up the wheel, ship starts levitating, press a button for speed, and hover above the sky towards your destination.

Easy enough?

And moments later, we are three kilometers away from the Mos Espa, exactly the place where my Condor had landed.

As the Nubian SpaceShip slowly landed near the Condor, causing people from inside the ship to peak out with their heads from the boarding ramp of Condor.

That looked funny, as if we were in a cartoon or something like that.

As the Nubian landed, with a simple click of the button in front of me, the boarded ramp was elevated with a resounding 'swosh', as it slowly releases it's stasis and lands on the soft sand of the desert planet.

Action and reaction, and people slowly exited from the Condor.

As the Naboo Escort along with Obi-Wan Kenobi exited from the Condor-Class ship, with bated breaths, with guards' hands moving towards their blasters, just in case for an unexpected emergency, and if someone else took the ship rather than who was supposed to.

And soon enough, it was the familiar green-armored figure that walked down the boarding ramp that calmed them down, though they were certainly unnerved upon noticing four armored giants slowly following Alex. And they are all armed.

That's what caused them to gasp for a moment or two.

////////////

As I exited the Nubian, and saw their reactions I couldn't help but stifle a chuckle or two under my helmet, as I marched towards them.

Thankfully, I muted my helmet.

It certainly didn't go unnoticed to my trained eyes how these in front of me reacted upon seeing the Spartans walking behind me, menacingly certainly.

They fidgeted, twitched.

And tension build up.

With Spartans trailing behind me slowly, as their boots drag into sand, I inclined my helmet towards their boots for a moment before shaking my head and moving it away.

They are indeed heavy.

A few more steps, and I stood in front of the Naboo Escort.

I gave a mock bow towards the 'Queen.' " Your Majesty, the mission is successfully accomplished."

Silence.

Didn't last long before it was Obi-Wan who broke it. 

Well, it was Obi-Wan we talked about!

He is our guy!

"So, who are your new friends?" He raised one eyebrow as he glanced at Spartans. He crossed his arms over his Jedi robe.

I almost chuckled once more, but I managed to restrain myself this time since I just un-muted the helmet.

I motioned towards them. " They are my 'escort', my allies. They are trustworthy." I replied, short, simple and true. 

I didn't feel like telling him to search through the force, since I'm pretty sure that he is abusing it. He is Qui-Gon's Padawan after all.

Obi-Wan Kenobi probably touched the force around us to discern the truth, a moment later after my reply he only nodded. Seemingly relieved and satisfied with my response.

Well, it would have been super if he was the one I actually had to worry about.

But that does not exactly sate Captain Panaka's worries, as the man in question decided to step forward, with a scowl on his face. " How can we trust them?" His scowl evident.

I was tempted to ask him '-How can you trust me either?- 'But I dropped that though for the mean-time, best to not light up the fire even more If I don't have to.

I shook my head. " If it weren't for their help, we wouldn't have been able to secure a fine ship like this one. And I trust them, they are mine people, from my world." I didn't back down. Meaning is simple, 'My Planet' towards them, but 'world' can be translated to more that a planet, to a dimension and universe too.

And they are from 'Halo', and this body also has roots from said universe, so it's half-truth.

I wasn't about to lose this argument here, especially since I worked hard off my ass to gain these Spartans.

All the sweat and blood spilled for them. From enemies mostly...

I wasn't about to leave them here stranded on Tatooine. Just because of a guy with duty and trust issues.

Even if his duty and trust issues are resounding claims, the simply fact that they proved useful with gaining a ship for them is more than enough!

But thankfully, before the argument could escalate, the 'Queen of Naboo' saw it fit to intervene. As she called out the name of her Guard's Captain. " Captain Panaka." A simple command, yet it caused Captain Panaka to refrain from possible come-back and straighten himself for attention.

But his eyes never wavered from the Spartans positions behind me.

"We are already indebted towards her, the least we can do is respect her wishes with her allies." A simple sentence, but due to being in public, Captain Panaka wasn't about to disagreed, especially since his eyes just widened, he probably forgot how they even ended up on Tatooine.

"As you wish, Your Majesty." He bowed towards her, she only nodded before turning towards Alex and the armored giants behind Alex.

And even more so, a subtle glance from 'Queen' to Obi-Wan is simple, she believes that if they end-up being enemies, that Jedi would be able to take care of them.

"Our precious time has been slightly wasted, and we are un-sure of the situation back on Naboo, we don't know how our people are taken care off." She spoke, as she glanced especially at Noble 6 behind Alex. " I suggest us start packing our food necessities first, Captain Panaka, it will be a long travel from Tatooine to Coruscant."

Captain Panaka once more bowed. " As you say, Your Majesty." Before he turned sharply and barked his orders towards the other Guards to start packing up food from the Condor-Class.

Leaving 'Queen', her handmaidens and Jedi Padawan along with Spartans and Unknown to them, Human Princess alone.

Silence.

Alex tilted her helmet towards Noble 6. " After they take everything from the ship, set it up for self-destruct protocol." Noble 6 nodded, as Red Team moved away from the boarding ramp, allowing Naboo Guards to enter inside the ship with packages.

Obi-Wan Kenobi narrowed his eyes at that comment. " Why would you do that? It's a fine ship, perhaps you can fix it later on when you find another specific hyperspace drive for it."

It's a correct assumption, but one that goes against of UNSC protocols in unfamiliar territory.

Alex chuckled at his question, earning a question glance from him. " We are on Tatooine right now, we'll be going towards Coruscant, with a 6-days long trip towards it, do you really think that this ship will remain here intact for more than 4 days?"

Obi-Wan Kenobi though of her question as he face-palmed himself, earning another chuckle from me. " Ah right, planet full of bandits, Jawas' walking around, Tusken Raiders who dismantle ships for weapons and a nearby space-port city." 

Alex just send him a bemused smile, though due to her helmet it wasn't really possible to notice.

"You are still young, Jedi Padawan, You still have so much to learn." She reprimanded him, as she waved a finger over his face in amusement.

But compared to her expectations, Obi-Wan only groaned. " I don't want to hear that from you, a fifteen year old child. I'm 25 standard-Galactic years old this."

I narrowed my eyes under my helmet, before I remembered something very peculiar about our Queen, as I turned my head towards her.

Alex only chuckled before she motioned towards the Queen. " I heard that Queen of Naboo is only 14 Galactic Years old, is that true?"

Alex could swear that she noticed how Sabé lips twitched slightly, maybe trying to restrain herself from laughing at the matter, as she closed her eyes for the mean-time. " Indeed, that would be correct."

Obi-Wan almost did an uncivilized groan, but managed to restrain himself. 

He just learnt ad very good lesson, do not underestimate age!

If a 14 year old can be Queen and politician on Naboo, what stops a 15 year old from being a Bounty Hunter.

Just in time as Guards once more walked towards the building ramp, holding packages in their hands.

Packages filled from food, drinks, water and to even clothes for the Queen.

And just when I was about to mention something, Captain Panaka came forth and asked something.

"What is the status of refresher in the ship?" Captain Panaka asked as he came up towards Alex.

Alex shook her head. " Functional, it's filled to the brim with clear water. "

Panaka nodded, as he glanced up towards the Nubian for a moment. " To who did this ship belong to, before you captured it?"

I see.

"You don't have to feel guilty, Captain Panaka, the ship belonged to Smugglers and Pirates, each one was armored to the teeth and probably had according criminal record to go along." Alex replied, Panaka only nodded before he entered into the ship himself to inspect it further.

Soon enough, Guards already took anything of the note from Condor-Class, before Queen a walked inside the ship and her handmaidens followed her inside the ship.

Leaving only Obi-Wan Kenobi, Spartans and Alex outside of it.

As they breathed in the harsh oxygen from Tatooine.

"Do it." Alex said, Leo-B312 Immediately separated from the before walking towards the Condor-Class ship.

And just then, they heard shouts.

"WOOAAA!"

"MI'SA THE SUPA LIKE IT!"

I almost groaned at that one shout, there can be only one Entity who speaks like that in the crew of Naboo Escort at all.

Practically everyone turned their heads towards the direction from where those screams are coming from.

Two Speeders rushing towards them.

The classic ones that you can rent from Jabba the Hutt.

On one speeder is Padme, Jar Jar and R2D2 in his arms.

While on other speeder is Qui-Gon Jinn with Anakin and Shmi Skywalker.

They soon came to a stop, just in time as Noble 6 exited from the Condor-Class Dropship.

"Let's go inside the ship! I have bad feeling in the force!" Qui-Gon quickly jumped up from the speeder, but not before helping Anakin off it, as he pointed towards the Nubian, he ushered the Skywalker pair into the ship.

Padme and Jar Jar also jumped off from the speeder, Padme by now learned to trust Qui-Gon's words, so she took her sprint towards the ship, slowly being followed by clumsy Jar Jar holding R2D2 who keeps beeping.

Poor R2D2 though, he must be exhausted from dealing with Jar Jar.

Obi-Wan closed his eyes for a moment and focused on the force, indeed.. He feels it, a disturbance.

Something dark is approaching, and he widened his eyes.

"Go! Go!" I added quickly as I helped up Anakin to enter the ship, behind him is Shmi who walked up on the boarding ramp.

Meaning that outside the only ones are Spartans and Jedi.

I clicked my tongue as I barked at Obi-Wan. " Obi-Wan! Get your ass on the ship and start the engine, you'll pilot it! I know jack shit about it!" That brought him from the daze as he turned sharply towards me, and used the force to jump up towards the opening.

Sadly, pilots who were supposed to pilot the Naboo Royal Ship were killed by Droids, so our best bet is Obi-Wan here.

"Hello there." He added sarcastically before he run off towards the cockpit.

I let a smile plaster across my face for that one, he wasn't supposed to say it for at least 13 more years!

But then I remembered the current situation right now, and I turned towards the Skywalkers.

"Both of you hold for something tight, the ride till space can be quite vomit-inducing!" I added as I looked towards the Skywalker pair who proceeded to run off towards the nearby seats.

And just when I was about to turn my head towards the Spartans and Qui-Gon..

"He is here!" Qui-Gon barked quickly as he also sprinted towards the Building Ramp, slowly followed behind by my Spartans, who somehow did not feel the need to rush at max speed, and took it slowly instead.

I looked towards where he pointed at.

I can see, a speeder moving towards us.

With black cloak and hood over their body.

Hmm.

"Noble 6." I just simply stated, everyone else entered inside the ship, with only Noble 6 standing on the doors, his sniper rifle neatly placed on his arms, as he aimed towards the speeder.

Everyone waited for him, as ships' engines turned up, and ship started hovering above the sand.

~BANG!

One single shoot.

Towards the target.

And yet..

Yet..

Yet it was useless, as the speeder simply avoided it somehow in last second, but the sand beneath it suddenly rose up, a sign of the bullet hitting the sand. And due to perhaps the strength behind it?

Though, it was the last thing fired off before the boarding ramp is closed, space-ship escaped into orbit and into Hyperspace.

"Well, this was phenomenal at least. I will be writing this in my diary." I said as I glanced up towards Qui-Gon Jinn before removing my helmet, as I breathed the cooling air in the ship. " Ah so much better compared to Tatooine." 

Good thing, the SPI-Armor's cooling System keeps me away from sweating under all this!

//////////////////////////

Tatooine.

Darth Maul, the notorious Apprentice of Darth Sidious raged upon the poor sand, as his feet stomped on it in simple yet ridiculous amount of anger. 

Certainly, he has too much Anger issues.

He almost crushed his own speeder with the force.

But he restrained himself, he will instead use the anger to strengthen himself, rather than simply lash out.

As he turned around, prepared to jump on his pitiful speeder once more and move towards his ship...

He sensed something, force warned him, predicted..

And foreseen danger.

Danger from above..

But the moment he turned his head towards the sky..

He only saw a missile.

No, not just a missile.

But several of them.

It was too sudden, too unexpected, too unpredictable..

And he was not prepared.

He didn't even have time to process what happened, before his entire body is blown to smithereens.

And above the Tatooine.

A ship exited from a portal.

A Slipspace portal to be precise.

A Ships that's over 5 kilometers large, and is gray-colored.

A giant ship, compared to current Technologies in the known Galaxy, a marvel of technology.

With utilitarian design, like a long-cube, with cube-like hull.

Ship is armed to the teeth, from simple missiles to detect missiles.

To a MAC canon.

This is ship is none other than the currently best ship in UNSC space.

Flagship of UNSC.

And pride of Humanity.

Infinity-Class Supercarrier, primarily designed for troop transport. 

But still equipped for any and all Space-Battles it may or might not be required for.

-Inside Infinity-Class Supercarrier ship, named as 'Alexandrov's Sword'.

"Admiral, the threat has been neutralized!" Officer on the bridge commented as he turned towards the man standing near a digital-table.

The man, who was referred to as Admiral is James LCrock, Admiral of Royal Fleet of UNSC, directly under the command of her Royal Highness the Princess.

He appears to be in his 40s, with his turning gray at the tips of it, with a scar across his lips, and wrinkles across his face.

He appears to be of slim build, standing at 190cm+ height, with formidable presence and air surrounding him as he looked at various monitors in front of him.

He is wearing standard Officer-Uniform. With the exception of Admiral Hat, man crossed his arms over his chest.

His expression unreadable, as he gazed upon the table in front of him.

And then, his attention moved towards the table-computer in front of him, as he taped for a second, before a picture of a Space-ship appeared on it, precisely it's hologram of Nubian space ship.

The same one that Naboo Escort just escaped with.

"Tell our Infiltrators that they had done nice job in planting devices on all spaceships in Mos Espa, tell them that they have three days off from further training." Man spoke for the first time, his voice laced with intrigue as he looked at the small hologram of the ship in front of him, before tilting his head towards the young officer beside him.

"Yes, Sir!" The young officer saluted quickly before marching away, James couldn't help but smile slightly.

Ahh. ' I can't wait when my son joins my ship soon. Youngsters these days. ' He shook his head lightly before moving his attention towards the hologram.

"We'll stay on the orbit of Tatooine's moon, move there. I want everyone be prepared for action, due to our status as unknowns we cannot simply jump towards Capital of this so called Republic with 'Alexandrov's Sword'. " 

Continuous voices of approval were heard from the bridge, as he walked away.

But he couldn't help but think. 'Ah, I just hope that these Aliens are much smarter than Covenant and this all doesn't result in a total war..'
