Star Wars: The Holy Empire - Chapter 91

“Greetings to the Holy Emperor.” said the B1 Droid “I am Battalion Commander B1-AC-169. I am here to take you to the 1st Assault Battalion. I am happy and honored to be given the chance to follow you into battle.”

“Good, lead me to the Battalion then.” I said “HK-47, get two Droid Platoons in position to sneak attack and the Energy Riot Shields transported to the 1st Assault Battalion.”

Statement: I will have the Riot Shields transport to you in 8 minutes, Master” said HK-47 “And the two Platoons in position for the sneak attack in 11 minutes.”

“Good, but hold off on the sneak attack until the 1st Assault Battalion attacks and draws the attention of the enemy forces. Once, we attack the town, you can commence the sneak attack” I commanded “Now AC-169, take me to the Battalion.”

“Answer: Yes, Master” said HK-47

“Roger, roger.” said B1-AC-169 “Follow me, your Holiness.”

B1-AC-169 then leads the way, while I follow behind him. B1-AC-169 leads me away from the battlefield.

We soon arrive at a Battalion of B1s standing in square formations.

“We have arrive, your Holiness.” said B1-AC-169 “When I received the orders from General HK, I commanded my Battalion to move away from the battlefield and get in formation. I hope you don’t mind that I did that.”

“That’s ok.” I said

“We just need to wait now for the Energy Riot Shields to arrive.” I said “And once they do arrive, I will have all of the B1s equiped with one shield each. ”

“Roger, roger” said B1-AC-169

After 8 minutes of waiting, a transport ship soon descends from the sky, and lands a little ways away from were the 1st Assault Battalion was in formation. Once it landed, B1 droids started coming out while carrying crates after crates off of the transport and putting them down in from of the Battalion.

Soon, 50 crates, full of 20 energy shields each was all loaded off the transport, and the B1s that unloaded it, went back into the transport ships and took off.

“ATTENTION!!!”I shouted

All of the B1s focused their attention on me.

“Today, I will be leading you into a practice battle.” I said while taking out a deactive energy shield “First off, I want each of you to come forward and get one of these.”

I activated the energy shield to show it to the B1s.

“These are Energy Shields, and we will be using them to march into the town to capture while at the same time eliminate the enemy forces with two different droid teams who will be doing a sneak attack on the enemy force.” I said “Now get yourselves equipped with a shield.”

Droids started to orderly line up in front of the 50 crates. They quickly grabbed a deactivated energy shield and went back into formation.

After 6 minutes, all of the B1s were carrying a Energy Shield in one hand and an E-5 blaster rifle in the other hand.

“Now, I will be teaching you a Formation that will be helping us attack the town and hopefully decrease the probability of any damage and casualties on our side if you do it correctly and perfectly.” I said

“Roger, roger” said all of the B1s

After a few minutes of explaining the Formation to the B1s and a little bit of a practice run in forming the Formation which the B1s were able to do perfectly, the B1s were ready for combat.

“Now, follow me to Victory!” I said as I walk towards the town.

The B1s started to follow me in a single marching column towards the town. They had their energy shields activated and held to their left side and E-5 blasters at the ready on their right.

As we were marching towards the town, I started to remember a scene from the movie, Revenge of the Sith, where Darth Vader and his 501st Legion marches onto the Jedi Temple, I loved that scene even though it led to a sad ending, the only reason I loved that scene was because of how epic it was seeing the Clone Troopers marching up those steps with that epic sounding music playing in the background. It was an epic and awesome scene that I could never forget.

The B1s with their shields and blasters, marching gave me that same impression as that scene

‘It would totally be cool if that music from the scene was playing during this march.’ I thought

All of a sudden, that same song I was thinking of and wishing was playing, was actually playing.

‘What the hell’ I thought as I continued to walk and look around.

I notice that none of the B1s could hear the music so I still continued walking forward.

‘How in hell is this song playing?’ I thought

The System’s panel appears as I walk.

{Answer: Through the System} said the System {With the System, you play and listen to any song that originated from Star Wars Universe or Movies. Kind of like an iPod from your old World}

‘I see. Well it kind of spooked me when you just suddenly started playing the song, so next time please inform me of stuff like this before doing it.’ ‘I said in my head

{Ok but you were the one who was wishing for the song to be playing to make your march to become totally cool.} said the System. {Do you wish for the song to stop?}

I decided to ignored the System’s backtalking and answer it.

‘No, keep playing it.’ I thought ‘It’s kind of getting me more pumped up for this battle.’

We soon arrived 1 mile away from one of the entrances into the town.

“Now, split into four teams and go to your assigned positions.” I commanded

The 1st Assault Battalion splits into four Companies with 250 B1s in each. The 3 Companies started to march off to their assigned positions. Each position was a mile away from and facing an entrance into the town.

After 8 minutes, I was getting a call on my portable HoloCommunicator from the other 3 Companies.

I answered the call, and appearing were the 3 B1 Captains of the 3 Companies.

“We are in position.” said the B1 Captains

“Good, good.” I said “Now, commence the attack!”

I closed the HoloCommunicator.

I turned my head to the Droid Company I was leading.

I took out my two electric training sabers our from my Space Ring and activated them

“Now, follow me to Victory!” I yelled

I started walking towards the town with my sabers facing downward and with the B1 Company right behind me.

Soon, we were almost half a mile from the town when the Naboo Security Force in the buildings spotted us and started to shoot at us but they were missing their shots.

“Form Testudo Formation!” I yelled

When I said that, the B1s started to quickly get into action.

The first row of droids put their energy in front of themselves, cover all of their bodies. The droids in the back ranks placed their shields over their heads and overlapping with the other shields. And finally the droids on the sides put their shields sideways to protect the sides of the Formation..

It took the droids only 7 seconds to get into Testudo Formation. We continued to march onto the town.

The Testudo Formation is known for its great protection from range attacks but the only drawback to this Formation was that it required the people using it to move in unison, and because of that their speed was sacrificed, but because my droids were the ones using it now, they didn’t need to sacrifice their speed so they were able continue marching at the same speed as before.

I continued to lead the B1s closer and closer to town, as we got closer, the Naboo Security Force’s accuracy improved and they were now able to hit the Formation but thanks to the energy shields, there was no damage to any of the B1s.

There were a couple shots that were coming to me, but I used the training sabers to deflect the shots.

After awhile the Security Force Officers soon notice that none of their shots were having any effect on the Testudo Formation.

-Inside a Room with 10 Security Force Officers

“Damn it, those shields are cheating!” cried of a Security Officer “Captain, none of our shots are having any effect on those shields, what are your orders?”

The Security Captain takes out some binoculars and peeked out the window. He spots the droids in the Testudo Formation and he then spots me leading the Formation without any cover or protection.

“It’s…Jerid, the Savior of Naboo!? He is the one who is leading the Formation!?” cried out the Security Captain.

“What, really” cried out a Security Officer who peeks out another window. “I can’t believe I can get to see the Savior of Naboo again.

“Why are you so excited! We are facing the Savior of Naboo, which means we are going to lose this War Game.” said another Security Officer “Sir, what should we do?”

The Security Captain starts thinking.

Author’s Note: I have started to slowly write an original Novel but don’t worry my fans, the Original Novel will not get in the way of this Novel and I won’t be publishing my Original Novel until I stockpiled at least 100 Chapters so it might take awhile.
