Star Wars: The Holy Empire - Chapter 83

“Pre Vizsla’s POV-

“FUCK, MANDALORIANS!!” cried out one of the bodyguards.

“RUN!” cried another bodyguard

When the guards realized who was attacking them, it was too late, and they were all accurately shot in their heads by us.

“That’s 5 down, 45 more to kill.” I said “Now, you ten will go down these corridors. Your mission is to ambush and kill the guards who are waiting to ambush us at the other four entrances. Got it.”

“Yes, sir.” said the ten Mandalorians who then rush off down a different corridor.

“The rest of you will follow me and head to the ship’s bridge to capture the Neimoidians. Remember the Mandalore wants them captured alive.” I said “No killing except for the bodyguards, you can do whatever you want with them but if you kill any of the Neimoidians and ruin the Mandalore’s plans, I will personally kill you myself.”

The Mandalorians remain silent and nodded their heads in agreement.

“Good, now let’s complete the mission given to us by the Mandalore.” I said while rushing towards the bridge, followed by the 10 Mandalorians.

While rushing down the corridor, I got to thinking.

‘I don’t know why but for some reason I am becoming more compliant with obeying the new Mandalore.’ I thought ‘For some reason, I feel like he is like my fellow brother who has fought side by side with me in countless battles. I know that he has defeat and I am honor-bound to follow him but I know that I usually wouldn’t be this loyal to someone who has taken my place as Secret Mandalore but for some reason it feels right that he is the new Mandalore, this feeling is so complicated. Maybe he has great charisma or something’

‘I need to keep my mind on the battlefield, if I get distract like that again in the middle of a serious battle., I could get myself killed’ I thought to myself.

Soon, my Mandalorian Brother and Sisters have arrive at corridor that leads to the entrance to the bridge.

“Hold” I said at the same time I held my fist up

I activated my thermal imaging in my visor and took a peek around the corner and down the hallway.

Through the door, I spotted 30 thermal signatures. 5 thermal signatures hiding in a corner while the rest were behind some consoles and aiming weapons at the only entrance that leads into the bridge.

“Now this will be tough.” I said while switching my visor back to normal vision.

I started to look around the corridor, when I spotted the ventilation panels that goes along the top of the walls in the hallway.

‘Those ventilation panels should have air ducts that lead into the bridge.’ I thought ‘I just got a wild idea, that just might work.’

I quickly turn around to the other Mandalorians

“Did anyone bring any smoke grenades with them?” I asked the Mandalorians.

“I did, sir.” said a female Mandalorian

“I also have some as well” said a male Mandalorian

“How many do you each got?” I asked

“I got about 6 smoke grenades, sir.” answered the female Mandalorian “Will that be enough?”

“I also have 4 smoke grenades, sir.” said the male Mandalorian

“Good, that should be just enough for my plan to work. You see the ventilation panels right next to the door, I want you both to throw your smoke grenades them, and make sure there are 5 in each one, so the smoke can spread equally. While the grenades are being thrown, you will connect this datapad to the door console, it has codes to open up the blast doors.” I said “After waiting for 20 seconds, the bridge should be almost full of smoke by then, then we will charge in with our thermal imaging activated, kill the bodyguards and capture the Neimoidians. If it all goes according to my plan, then it will be a quick and easy victory. Now lets go!”

“Yes, sir” said the male and female Mandalorian

We all run down the corridor. Once we were down the corridor, the male and female Mandalorian hold up their blasters and shot open the ventilation panels and proceeded to activate the smoke grenades and throw them in while another Mandalorian was connecting the datapad to the door console.

“Activated your thermal imaging now.” I commanded

After the smoke grenades were thrown, we waited and the 20 seconds quickly pass by.

“Now, open the door and charge in with your blasters and shield gauntlets up!” I commanded.

The Mandalorian with the datapad opened up the door. Once the door was open tons of smoke started coming out through it.

We all charged in and started shooting the bodyguards who were coughing and wheezing from the smoke.

In less than a minute, all 25 bodyguards were killed with headshots.

‘It’s kind of sad, I would really love to kill these guards head on in battle but I can’t disrupt the Mandalore’s plan.” I thought

Soon, the smoke was clearing the room thanks to the open door and after 2 minutes, there was bȧrėly any smoke left in the room.

We all deactivated our thermal imaging.

I looked around the bridge until I spotted the targets, the 5 Neimoidians are in the corner, on their knees, coughing and wheezing from the smoke.

“You five, go and tie up the Neimoidians” I commanded

“Yes, sir” said the five Mandalorians.

Soon, the 5 Neimoidians were tied up and dragged over to me. I waited for a bit for them to stop coughing and wheezing. Soon there was no more smoke in the room, and the Neimoidians stop coughing and wheezing.

They then opened up their eyes to see us.

“What the…You’re Mandalorians!” cried out Commander Luku Dund “The Mandalorians should be a pacifist race now because of the Duchess of Mandalore! You are declaring war against the Trade Federation by doing this! You will pay for this transgression and barbaric action against us, you savage animals. We will make you and your people suffer. Your Duchess will not be happy with this.”

I got tired of his lip so slap Luku Dund

“How dare you hit me, after this it is over, I will make you pay.” said Luku Dund “I will make sure that the Trade Federation makes your people and planet go into debt, then we will catch everyone woman and child and I will make sure that they are sold as sėx slave to pay back the debt, and every man will become slave miners in the harshest mines that we own.”

“SHUT UP!” I shouted “I grow tired of your lip.”

I press my WESTAR-35 blaster against Luku Dund’s head which made him quickly shut up.

“The Duchess isn’t our leader.” I said “Our leader is the Mandalore and if it wasn’t for the fact that our leader has plans for you, I would of killed you by now.”

-Pre Vizsla’s POV End-

While waiting for news from Pre Vizsla, I was sitting in the Command Chair on the bridge of Lucrehulk 1, and looking out the giant window on the bridge. While staring outside at the enemy ship, I received a system notification.

[You have gained 5 XP through your soldiers]

“Huh??” I said

“Is something the matter, my Emperor?” asked OOM-341 who was stationed at the Holocommunicator.

“It’s nothing.” I replied

OOM-341 then turned back to the Holocommunicator

‘I gained 5 XP from my soldiers?’ I thought ‘Now this is such amazing information.’

‘System, how does gaining XP through my Soldiers work?’ I asked in my mind

‘So does that mean once I have a big enough army, I can send them across the galaxy to kill my enemies and gain a buŧŧ load of XP?’ I asked

[Sorry to say this but you are unable to do that.] replied the System [You can only gain XP from your soldiers who are in close proximity of you, approximately a 50 mile radius around you. The Creator made it so that you can become Overpowered through me but The Creator didn’t want it to be too easy for you since The Creator knowns that too much cheats can be kind of boring.]

‘Now that is too bad’ I thought ‘I could of gain XP and leveled up a lot faster if I could do that but I guess that The Creator/God is correct since too much cheating will make life in this Universe a little boring, and having a little bit of a Challenge is what makes life so exciting.’

While thinking, I received more System Notifications

[You have gained 25 XP through your Soldiers]

[You have gained 5 XP through your soldiers]

[You have gained 5 XP through your soldiers]

[You have gained 5 XP through your soldiers]

[You have gained 5 XP through your soldiers]

[Exp: 303,250 / 350,000]

‘Well the XP isn’t much but its better then no XP at all’ I thought

“My Emperor, we are receiving a call from the enemy ship.” said OOM-341

“That’s a good sign, it must mean that Pre Vizsla has already taken control of the ship.” I said “That took less than 10 minutes, now that is pretty impressive but I should of expect as much from a race of warriors.”

“Would you like me to open up the communication?” asked OOM-341

“Open Communications” I commanded

OOM-341 pressed a buŧŧon and a hologram of Pre Vizsla appears

“Mandalore, we have completed the mission. The 5 Neiomoidians are now captured and tied up.” said Pre Vizsla “We now await for your arrival.”
