Star Wars x ATLA Chapter 16: March Of The Metal Fools

Chapter 16: March of the Metal Fools

Activity Log: Grand Army of the Republic, 327th Star Corps

Situation: With Avatar Aang out of commission, the Separatists are marching towards the Earth Kingdom capital in full force in a second attempt to take the city. The 327th must take a stand with the 501st, Doom Legion, and the Earth Kingdom troops on the Outer Wall. The Droid Army will stop at nothing to avenge their failed siege with the Drill, and all troops must assume the Droid Army will not take prisoners.

Mission: To thwart the Droid Army assault, that the morale of the people of Ba Sing Se will be boosted, whilst ensuring the wounded Avatar is kept safe.

Execution: Aayla Secura, Commander Bly and Sergeant Major Blitz will lead the defensive operation. General Skywalker, Commander Tano, and designated troops will protect the Avatar in the rear.

Location: Ba Sing Se

Time: 20 weeks since the Battle of the North Pole

"The Fire Nation Princess Azula has struck down the youngling Avatar, my Lord," Dooku reported. "Our plans will no longer be disrupted."

"Excellent, Lord Tyrannus," Sidious said forebodingly. "That boy has been a thorn in our

side for too long. Now, onto his place of refuge: how well fortified is this city which the princess failed to conquer?"

"The bastion's walls are high, but they will be no match for a well-coordinated strike

from the Droid Army, Master," Dooku boasted. "The Jedi no longer have this boy and his powers to hide behind."

"Then it is time we make an example of that city, my apprentice" Sidious declared. "Take

as many troops as you need and crush any resistance from the Republic and Earth Kingdom. Let the people of this system know that their false savior is dead."

"And what of the princess and her father, my Lord?" Dooku asked.

"In time, they will be made into our enforcers," Sidious pondered. "For now, they shall

help us crush the Jedi scum."

"As you wish, my Master." Dooku bowed, and his hologram faded.
On the other end, Sidious lifted the hood from his face and looked out upon the thousandsof ships which crisscrossed Coruscant's cloudless sky. The true identity of the Dark Lord of the Sith melted into his false, kind facade of the Republic Chancellor Palpatine.

Palpatine frowned and mused over this new information. This Fire Nation Princess was certainly tenacious; that much he could give her. But something about this whole situation felt off. He knew he should be happier. He knew he should feel elated.

But he wasn't.
How in the name of the Force had he, the Dark Lord of the Sith, never sensed this system

or the great power from this youngling?! Not only that, but this youngling could manipulate the physical elements to his command! And there were MORE people on this world with such capabilities?! Where did their power come from? The Force? Magic?

No, it had to be something else.

Palpatine had been receiving the briefings and concentrating his meditations on this planet. This boy they called "The Avatar" and his friends were definitely strong in the Force.
Thankfully at least, that Fire Nation princess Azula had eliminated one of them already.

His train of thought was interrupted by his advisor walking into the room, and Palpatine turned to see Mas Amedda bowing his head.

"My lord," Mas Amedda greeted. "The emergency Senate meeting commences in the next half hour."
