John and the two troopers continued to walk until they reached an open room.
It was empty, and only had a single mat in the center of it. The two troopers waited by the door as it closed with John inside.
He held the holocron and nearly crushed it. "Damnit! With the Je'daii actually being that strong, and not being able to gauge their levels, if they team up with any Jedi they find on this planet..." John rubbed his face as he sat on the mat. "I'll need to quicken my plans."
He contacted Fix and had some clones bring him a ton of the gems found in the first elf city.
When he converted it, he had 400,000 gold.
'Make clones and LAATs. 2,000 and 125 of the gunships.'
[Clones being produced now: 2,000: Cost 200,000 gold. Gunships being produced: 125: Cost 500,000.]
[Decreasing Gold: 41,190,000 -> 40,490,000]
John spent the time waiting on the production to finish training the Sith himself. He had Fain take over halfway so he could personally deal with a small rebellion.
He lead a group of Shadow Troopers into a building and came out a few minutes later. "Burn the building, Captain."
The trooper nodded as he and the others began to set things inside on fire and laying cloth and other flammable items on top of them.
As John watched it burn, he heard a woman screaming. "No, please! My son is in there!"
He turned and saw a woman running up to him. She clutched onto his cloak and began to cry.
"Please don't kill my son! He's only a boy!"
John pushed her softly off of him and looked her in the eyes. "Call down. Are you sure your son was in their? How old is he?"
"11."
John then turned to the captain. "Did you see or hear any children?"
He shook his head.
John looked at the woman and sighed. He then turned around and walked into the burning building. As he walked around, he could feel a faint presence in one of the back room.
He walked in and saw a scared kid being held by the leader of the rebellious group. "Is this what your rebellion stands for, elf?"
John quickly dispatched the leader before he could say anything and picked up the boy. Before they could get out though, the building collapsed.
"No!" The woman screamed, but a trooper held her back. "Why aren't you worried too?!?"
The trooper looked at the building and nodded his head at a bit of the flames dispersing. "Because nothing can kill the emperor."
John stood up and with the Force, jumped from the burning rubble. He put the boy down and he ran to his mother. "We decided we would burn the place down with their leader, but he had your boy. Remember what the elves have done to you today."
They both nodded as the woman bowed. "We will! Thank you, Emperor Thane! Thank you!"
They climbed onto their LAAT and flew back to the temple, where John looked at his quest.
[Outsiders; Defeat the Outsiders]
"I guess I have to defeat them all. At least the ones on Caldor. Collect the temple gold from the last four months."
[Collecting...]
[408,000 Gold collected.]
[Increasing Gold: 40,898,000]
"Also use my 10 slot tickets. I want one item from each that would be equal to three."
[...]
[Using 10x Slot Tickets. 10x -> 0x]
[Spinning...]
[Items: Tie Interceptor Blueprint, Black Robes(Adjustable Size), White Robes(Adjustable Size), Sith Stalker Armor Set 1x(Adjustable Size, No Helmet), Dark Lord of the Sith Kit 1x, ??? 1/100 Blueprint Piece.]
"Is that random blueprint piece really worth 5 slots?"
[Yes.]
John looked at the other rewards and nodded. "I'll accept it then. Pull up the Tie Interceptor Blueprint."
[Tie Interceptor Blueprint: Cost to build; 2,000. Time to complete: Three days.]
John smiled and immediately began to build one, lowering his gold to 40,896,000.
After three days passed, John climbed into the cockpit of the Tie Interceptor. He then realized something very important.
'I have no idea how to fly this thing.'
[Would you like to trade gold for the pilot skill?]
[Pilot Skill: Become an ace Pilot by maxing out this skill. Start by flying small ships, and upgrade to eventually being able to fly transport ships. Levels: 40]
John nodded. "How much gold?"
[10,000 gold.]
"Buy it."
[Pilot: Level 1/40]
[Gold Decrease: 40,896,000 -> 40,886,000]
John then get like he knew how to at least pilot the interceptor with an intermediate level of flying.
He lifted off the ground and shot through the sky. John was loving every minute of it and continue to fly for an hour or two before returning and landing in one of the temple's hangars.
He saw the LAATs still under construction and the ones they already had. 'Just a few more days.
After those few days passed, John had all the new clones brought on LAATs to the temple, where they lined up in an empty hangar.
After giving a speech about the empire, the now 5,000 clones loaded into the now 325 gunships.
He then climbed into the interceptor and heard all the pilots on comms.
"Pilot Cueball ready to fly."
"Pilot Knell, ready to fly."
"Pilot Qree, ready to fly."
They continue until they finished.
"Sir, everyone is ready to go." Indigo spoke through the comms. "Will your apprentices be coming?"
John spoke at that moment. "No. I left them some gifts. They will definitely be fighting in the next battle."
They all took off, speeding out of the hangars behind John. "Indigo, the soldiers from the other temple should already be at the rendezvous point correct?"
"Yes, sir."
John smiled and laughed. "Jinx, you tell the soldiers to begin their assault on the human kingdom."
"You got it, General!" Jinx was holding on inside one of the LAATs and put on his helmet. "Soldiers of the Empire, its time to make your emperor proud. Charge!"
The soldiers on the ground then saw in the distance a a few specs appear in the sky and one stood up with his blaster. "You heard the Arc! Charge!"
Thousands of soldiers left trenches dug in the night, and became black specs on a green background.
The humans on the wall of the city were shocked, but prepared. They fired off volleys of arrows, but they seemed to stop mid air.
Fain looked at the arrows as he held his hand in the sky. He turned them around and launched them back at the humans.
The men around him were frozen. "Don't just stand there!"
They kicked into gear as he activated his lightsaber.
The humans inside the city began to hear the bells on the wall. The constant ringing signaled something before it stopped completely.
They were under attack, and they'd probably lose.
