Chapter 2: Chapter 2 : Reincarnation is...
Near Naboo!
In Space.
Orbiting the space around the planet Naboo is one rather peculiar star-ship with very intriguing design.
Something entirely out of this galaxy by all parameters.
It's entire body is colored with green-ish like paint, with it's hull instead possessing a line of glass.
With two interesting 'wings' like accessories at left and right side of the ship,
With four thrusters, one at each wing, making it two and another pair at the back of the ship. And in the back of the ship is small gate-like doors.
In conclusion, it's a Pelican's first sibling, the Condor series of small transport ships.
The main difference between the two is that Condor series is capable of small yet limited Slipspace travel, and is slightly but only slightly bigger than it's older sibling.
The one orbiting Naboo is the newest model known as D81-LRT Condor.
-Inside D81-LRT Condor-
"You must be fu##ing shitting me.. " Exclaimed a feminine voice in the cockpit of the Condor.
Upon closer look, it revealed to be a person clad in 'futuristic' looking armor from a SCI-FI movie to be precise.
To be even more specific, it's not a movie but a 'game'.
Due to armor's shape, it can be carefully deduced that wearer is a female.
Armor is covering her entire body, from head to toe with small pieces of openings that reveal a body-suit underneath it.
Armor is colored with plain green color with all armor pieces from shoulder pads, chest pieces, joint protectors, gauntlets, armored boots and of course back. And the bodysuit under all that protection is colored black, it's barely noticeable, only between joints for example.
As for helmet, it's a standard Mirage-Class Helmet.
This armor is called Semi-Powered Infiltration Armor or SPI for short. It's armor that's far better compared to classic Marine Armor and ODST armor, with purpose being Stealth-Technology implanted with camouflage under it.
With small yet noticeably upgrades for strength of the wearer.
It's armor that's far inferior from MJOLNIR but far advanced from any ODST armor.
It's an Armor that took most of it's history in being Mass-Produced for Suicide attacks by Spartans 3-Project.
After all, it's far cheaper to produce SPI for Suicide Spartans rather than MJOLNIR. And couple of dozen of SPI's can be produced by the price of one MJOLNIR armor.
Did we forget to mention that ANY Human is capable of wearing SPI armor? Even basic Marines were able to in past.
But now back to the point.
"Ah man, If I knew that Survey was real, I would have instead wrote that I gain some OP power like, I don't know, for example some Ultimate Skill from Tensura?" The female soldier grumbled under her breath as she leaned backwards on her seat.
Indeed, as you might have suspected it.
She was actually not a she at all to begin with!
How?!
Well, it all brings up to her or at that time his decision to search across the internet for CYOA..
Indeed!
She is Alex Smith! She found new CYOA and couldn't shake of her enthusiasm at writing it!
He choose Star Wars universe for the world, time of Phantom Menace first movie time-line to be precise!
Then found an interesting option to, the perks.
Perks which were Systems to boot it too.
And because of his fascination towards SCI-FI Genre, he decided to mix a crossover in the pot, and picked 'Halo-Humanity-Summoning-System'.
As you might have guessed, the System works on principles, giving free-quests like missions with levels to him, if he completes them, he gains earnings with which he can buy characters from Halo, Human ones to be precise.
He can either summon 'Heroes' like Noble 6 for example.
Or random, un-heard of Spartans 3 equipped with SPI that no one heard off.
Or basic canon fodders called Marines.
Or better canon fodders called ODST.
But that's not the only thing.
No, the real thing that caught Alex attention to even try out that CYOA was the 'Avatar Customization' and 'Backstory'.
Yeah you heard it right.
In 'Avatar Customization' he decided to create a character, a female character just because he felt like it, for jokes and giggles.
You couldn't really blame him right? After all he thought it was nothing but useless CYOA, a joke to be treated like that.
He never even suspected the chance of this coming to life at all.
Then, after customizing his character, he filled out Backstory for that same character.
After all that work that lasted at least an hour, he clicked submit.
And wouldn't you believe it, next thing he knows is that he was transported into Star Wars!
In the orbit of fu##ing Naboo if that wasn't enough!
"Well, Age is not a problem since I'm only now 3 years younger, the only real problem is gender." The SPI armored Alex muttered to herself, she even winced underneath her helmet due to her voice.
Can you blame her? She didn't have a very deep voice, but ti was without a mistake a men's voice.
Now? It's a completely different matter!
So, tentatively yet obviously nervously, she raised her arms towards her helmet, before taking the helmet off as she breathed the oxygen in the Condor.
And unknown to her, her appearance is shown to any outer power which might be watching her right now.
She even almost glanced at her own reflection in the visor bur refrained from doing so, if she is forced to reincarnate as a completely different person, then she will look at her appearance from a real mirror and not from a helmet's visor!
Medium-length white hair cascading on her head, piercing yet sharp golden eyes like brightest gold, pale skin like porcelain doll, and aristocratic features on her face, a sign of her noble lineage.
By all looks of it, she might as well by an European Princess from Medieval Age for whose hand hundreds of Knights would fight over.
But even so, pity those who wish her harm, since entire fleets are in front of her safety.
Well one thing is certain, she indeed is a princess.
"System, show yourself.." It didn't take long, the moment she even uttered System, it appeared.
It appeared in front of her vision as a screen with several following options.
{Stats}
{Territory-Stats]
[Summoning-Shop]
[Mission-Tab]
And that's about it.
Alex is already aware of each function, since well, she already read it in description to begin with when she clicked to add it to her perks.
Just minutes ago, in her room.
She certainly did not expect a literal portal to open up beneath her legs and force her into movie!
{Stats} shows her own stats. Pretty much just her name, her dynasty line, her children... If she had them that is, if she is genetically modified or not.
{Territory-Stats} shows the current population of Humanity and all territories they have.
{Mission-Tab} shows issued mission by now, and their respective quests.
Sadly, her System doesn't have Inventory, such a shame..
But anyway.
Alex moved her head left and right, the screen moved in tandem.
The trick is, the screen is not physical so that she could touch it, rather it's all in her head, and for it to act she needs to order it verbally.
It's a pain if she has guests near her, that's for certain.
"Show me {Territory-Stats}." Alex frowned, first thing first, she will need safe place for mental breakdown, and she certainly thinks that a planet under attack from Robot Terrorist is not such safe place to begin with.
"I hate robots, but I like Terminators though.." Flashbacks to that great movie were amazing!
Screen shifted in front of her vision, as it revealed data.
Her eyes widened, she already expected this but...
It's completely different matter all together to check it with her own eyes.
{Territory-Stats}
[Capital-Planet: Earth]
[Number of Colonies: 811] [From Planets, Moons and Asteroids]
[Human Population: 41 Billions +]
[Number of Star-Ships: 4,211] [Not counting Fighters or Dropships, only participants of Fleets]
"~Whistle~ Hell Yeah!" Alex punched the air in front of her face in pure excitement as her face split in vicious grin.
So, Alex was smart.
Instead of starting from zero, she 'inputted' informations regarding her Backstory in the CYOA, in Backstory section when it was available.
Basically it goes like this:
-Backstory-
Alex Smith was somehow reborn as a girl, 10 years before the 'Phantom-Menace' on a Planet Earth, with zero population of Humanity on it, Earth From Halo still existed, all buildings exist, all animals exist. Every military base exist.
Just no Human Population, it's as if entire planet became a Ghost Town, or in this case, a Ghost Planet.
But that's not the only thing, beside Earth, the countless colonies from Halo that belonged to Humanity were 'transported' with them to 'Star Wars', all operable, they are not glassed.
They only lacked people to inhabit.
He was reborn as five year old child at that time, yet used the System to his advantage, completed different types of Missions, summoned Humans from Halo for years, and eventually they 're-conquered' their colonies back, since ten years has passed since 'Alex' transmigration, the 'Auto-Pilot' that controlled Alex body relinquished it's control so real Alex could take control of the body.
That's where it get us to right now, per Backstory, Auto-Pilot had tendency to steal a ship and run into unexplored systems without anyone as support. Like a child, since it's rule was to act per it's age.
So, to all others in UEG-Space, Alex was a princess to be protected. TwT
And every single Human is loyal to 'Alex', without condition, at least those that will be born from Summoned Humans and the Summoned Humans themselves.
And that brings us here, by backstory, 'Auto-Pilot' escaped once more, and crossed near Naboo, when it did so, 'it relinquished it's control'.
UNSC is slowly tailing behind with a fleet.
-End of Backstory-
Alex rubbed her fore-head as her pretty face frowned, she just gained small 'parts' of memories that 'Auto-Pilot' had gone through.
A flashbacks if you will call them like that.
Nothing about personal life, but that 'Auto-Pilot' behaved like Tom-Boy, still received High-End Education from the Humans she summoned, small training for proper exorcises, strategy..
But nothing like Spartan-Project received when it comes to physical training.
But by all records, her body is certainly in proper shape.
Something that Alex certainly favored, before even despite his age, he had poor stamina and energy since he was born.
Possessing a healthy body, even if it's the wrong gender might not be that bad thing in the long run?
She doesn't know.
Yet.
Back to the topic at hand, Alex nervously picked up her Mirage-Class Helmet before putting it back on.
Then glanced towards the controls of the Condor, the controls are listed with unfamiliar buttons and what appear to be a touch screen.
Her eyes blanched underneath that helmet for a moment, as a spring of informations rushed inside her brain, or rather on how to pilot Pelican-Class and Condor-Class vessels, the knowledge of how 'Auto-Pilot' escaped the Earth to begin with.
It must be complimented, even if no one fired a shoot from Base-Stations and Space-Defences orbiting Earth at 'Auto-Pilot', it was still something that not anyone would be able to achieve.
But well, there were couple of shoots, but nothing 'Auto-Pilot' wasn't able to dodge with her surperb skills in flying.
She doesn't blame them, after all it's not like every Summon she summoned before is able to sense her location, they only have compliance to server her till their deaths, but they don't have anything else beside that.
And sudden resounding 'DING!' inside her head brought her attention to a sudden screen appearing in front of her face.
[DING!]
[New-Mission!]
[Objective: Help Padme Amidala and her escort off the world!]
[Description: Butterfly effect is in action! Ships are destroyed, you are their only option to get to Coruscant!]
[Reward For Completion: 1# Hero Summoning-Ticket!]
[Punishment for Failure: None!]
Alex frowned, she didn't need to be told twice anyway, this is her reality now, and she would do her damn best to survive.
And when she is at it, she could very well stop Qui-Gon Jinn from dying.
He was epic character anyway, even if she was not best Halo Fan out there, did not play any of their games, don't jack shit outside of Youtube, Wiki and some movies, she is pretty sure that Assault Rifle near leg is going to do a nice job against Darth Maul.
Besides, how much time would it take for UEG to find her?
UEG stands for United Earth Government, she is only Princess and the only one sitting on the throne anyway.
First you got senators, all senators vote, but the final decision lays to Princess, or the royal family.
Senators are culminations of representatives of numerous 'Colonies', not colonies of moons or asteroids, but the real habitable planets with populations.
And you got UNSC, a military change of Command, still falls under Princess authority, and behind UNSC you got ONI.
A secretive organization, with rather extreme purpose behind the both UNSC and UEG.
It wouldn't surprise Alex that one ONI ship with cloaking technology is following her behind already, just not wanting to reveal themselves too.
And to boot it, to be filled with Spartan 3-Teams.
She didn't waste anymore time, leaned forward, strapped the belt over her being just in case, moved her fingers clad in gauntlets from SPI Armor and taped on the monitor in front of her.
Soon enough, a small digital looking wheel appeared in the touch screen.
She clicked a button next to it for speed, and held on the touch screen's wheel, and Condor suddenly lurched forward with the speed she put as she manipulated it's course of action with the digital wheel.
It didn't miss her vision a small detail, how dozens of small droid-fighters ship appeared in what she assumes to be main city of Naboo Humans, the Capital.
/////////////
-Naboo-
-Theed the Capital of Naboo Humans-
-Theed Space-Ship Hangars-
After a brutal and prolonged fight, the Queen Escort finally managed to arrive at Hangars.
But..
Only to be crestfallen at the picture they saw, a handful of pilots surrounded by B1 Droids, but that wasn't what shocked them, no!
It was that those pilots were already eliminated! Each one had a fatal burning-wound from blasters on their bodies, be it on their chest, heart or head itself.
Queen Amidala gasped, as she covered her make-up covered face with her hands, her handmaidens behind her couldn't help but repeat the action too.
While four guards surrounding her could only frown before aiming with their respective blasters up, towards the droids.
One Captain of Guards and three guards respectively.
Meanwhile, Young Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn shared a glance, glanced around them and stepped forward first.
Quick glance at both sides revealed that their only ship off this damn planet would be the one surrounded by Droids up, about 20 or 30 meters away from them.
The Royal-Starship of Naboo Royalty
While dozen or fighters around are only for one person.
A crystal clear understanding passed through everyone's eyes.
"We'll deal with them, you focus on the door behind us, Captain." Qui-Gon Jinn stepped forward, as his long brown hair waved in the wind behind him, his jedi cloak along with it before he unsheathed his light-saber from his belt and activated it.
A green light shimmered from the Lightsaber just in time as he deflected one blast back towards a droid who shoot it.
"We wouldn't want to be surrounded from front and behind, wouldn't we ? Right Master?" Obi-Wan, a young man with dirty blonde hair and small one tail-like braid behind his head exclaimed, as he too stepped forward before unsheathing his own lightsaber, and blue light shimmered from it.
At their response, Guards paled as they forgot about such possibility, as they quickly turned around, with exception of Captain Panaka as he moved his index finger in a sign for them to turn around, while he would keep the guard in front.
Just in case for any shoot to go past the Jedi, someone will have to take it for the Queen after all.
Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon leaped into action first, there are only 20 or so Droids.
They first managed to deflect few shoots easily, droids remained still as Jedi approached like their doom-cutters.
Main flaw of these droids are their limited programming for appropriate action.
With a simple flick of Qui-Gon's hand, two B1 Battle Droids were sent flying towards two droids behind them, crashing into each other and stopping their function the same instant.
Obi-Wan was not to be outdone, he deflected each blast aimed at him in perfect synchronization despite being a bit inexperienced.
It can be seen that he would be a formidable master of defence art eventually, Master of Soresu.
Every single turn of his wrist was significant, as the each blast was reflected back, rendering the droid who shoot useless.
By the time both Jedi's approached them for close quarters, there were less than 10 remaining B1 Battle Droids.
But they quickly made a work of them as they cut each one apart.
Obi-Wan cut one in half, reflected the blast of another back.
6 left.
Qui-Gon flicked with his left hand again, and launched two droids dozens of meters away as they crushed against the hull of a Fighter-Ship of unknown design.
4 left.
Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon took a step further together in tandem, as if they were a one person together.
And easily sliced one B1 in half each.
2 left.
And at same time, their hands flicked, as remaining two droids suddenly were launched towards each other.
As they crashed against each other. Rendering them useless for the time being.
"Whuf! Some nice and actual training is nice sometimes, Master." Obi-Wan Kenobi wiped the sweat building on his forehead from trying to keep up with his master as he moved back several steps.
His Master ignored him for the time being.
"Move! We don't have much time, we need to board it!" Qui-Gon Jinn exclaimed toward the Naboo Queen Amidala and her escort, and just when they moved towards the Naboo Royal Starship..
Something unexpected happened.
The same Royal Starship was hit directly behind by a couple of blasts, just enough to damage it's thrusters.
Rendering the ship effectively useless for any type of flying.
And the ones who caused this soon revealed themselves in next instant as three Vulture-Class Starfighters Droids plopped down from skies and transformed into Ground mode in front of them.
Everyone paled even further but Jedi, they were adapted to such situations anyway.
It was in their contract once they joined Jedi Order anyway.
"Crap Baskets.." Was the only thing Young Padawan could say, though his mentor was here to remind him quickly.
"Language Obi-Wan, Force is with us, she shall guide us." And just as Qui-Gon managed to say it, a couple of resounding shoots from above directed at Droid Starfighters skewered the so called Droid Starfighers.
As Another ship from above revealed itself quickly to them, of unknown and utilitarian design.
Though, some of them even paled further, as the canons of so said ships turned towards them for a moment, before the ship turned around and softly landed in the hanger, and the door-gate opened behind on it.
