Zate: The Gods of war. Jedi Vs Sith

 

 

Disclaimer: See chapter 1

 

 

It had only been twenty minutes since the battle had begun. This was not ordinary battle, it was war. A military conflict so violent it rivaled the worst battles of the Clone wars. X-Wings, TIE's, Y-Wing Bombers, every kind of fighter imaginable blanketed the skies as the Rogue Squadrons carved a path through the planetary defenses for the ground attack units, The Jedi and the Zate.

 

The entire planet was in utter chaos as the fighters that fell blew buildings to the ground. There were four primary attack points. Anakin had leaked information on a new defense shield protecting the former Jedi Temple complex. Their goal, destroy the four generators on each of the corners of the target area.

 

In rout one of the failed Black Squad A-Wings lost its engine and went on a last ditch effort to deal some damage to the nearest Generator. As luck would have it this dealt enough damage to the generator to reduce its output by a quarter.

 

As the Rogue Squads took care of the defense system Yoda lead a small army of Jedi including Anakin and Starkiller to storm the Imperial Palace, a place they all sensed the Emperor to be.

 

The sky turned sad as it began to rain and the Jedi landed at each of their destinations. Emerging from their ships with an advanced knowledge of the area hundreds of Jedi looked upon the former Jedi Temple in hope of victory as nearly a thousand Sith surrounding the outer portions of the complex light their sabers looking down upon the hundreds of starships. The rain hissed as it fell upon the freshly lit sabers. Steam rose to the sky, dissipating after a few feet but could be easily seen by the Jedi, now ready to commence their attack.

 

Not long after the Jedi landed, General Mai hacked the planet's communication systems and began world wide broadcasting of a message being transmitted from Nazomishi's starship.

 

 

Cue: Prayer Of The Refugee by Rise Against

 

 

“Attention People of the Republic, for too long have you been oppress by the tyranny of the Emperor. He has taken your technology, your livelihoods, your freedom! He has taken everything any of you hold dear and close to your hearts. Many of you have grown up in this era of EVIL, never having known the freedom your parents and grandparents knew and loved. Now is the time to act. Now is the time to reclaim what is yours. NOW IS THE TIME TO FIGHT! NOW IS THE TIME TO RECLAIM YOUR FREEDOM!

 

The song picked up its pace as he finished his short speech and the R4 unit turned it's head to the academy as the shields were lowered and the Jedi activated their blades of many colors with Nazomishi turning and ran off towards the complex, every moment captured by the R4 unit. The Sith began leaping from the building and they all merged in the battle field.

 

The massive battle easily dwarfed the battle on Geonosis. Nazomishi leaped into the fray rapidly decapitating his first Sith as he drew a second saber in a spin to ram it into the stomach of a second and dragged it up towards the skull as the body split in two in full view of everyone watching anything in the nearest hundred inhabited planets.

 

Millions upon millions of people found inspiration in the return of the Jedi. Long had they hoped that their saviors would one day return. Those who found such inspiration in this action, threw caution to the wind and left their seats grabbing their nearest blasters to take their stand. To reclaim the Empire and restore the Republic. This… was the most wide spread rebellion in the history of the republic as the millions quickly grew to billions and finally trillions filling the streets proclaiming their freedom.

 

The Jedi battle was heating up with the Sith loosing badly. The Jedi had been training for this day for twenty years enduring intense training. Though outnumbered the Jedi were easily taking out more opponents due to the lack of master pupil system among the Sith. Sure there were many, but their average skill level was pathetic. Padawan Jedi were fighting with similar skill level to slightly better while the Knights were dominating taking down two to three Sith in a minute. The Masters, were cutting through the ranks like a lightsaber through butter.

 

The second verse started as the people filled the streets with their first confrontations with the local Stormtroopers began.

 

“ There is nothing to see, everyone return to your homes. We are now under a state of Martial law!” A storm trooper called out to a mob of people, that had just came out of a bar.

 

One farmer with his personal blaster raised his hand and in cold blood blasted the Trooper in the face as the rest of those in the crowed opened fire upon the remainder of the troopers. Little to their knowledge the same thing was happening all over the planet, and the next planet, and the message had already been spread all the way out to the outer rim. The Jedi were back, and marching on the capital city, killing every Imperial loyalist in the way.

 

End song

 

 

---Back to Nazomishi---

 

Cue: Other world from Final Fantasy 10

 

Nazomishi had just finished slaying another Sith with a quick slice from head to toe he bent his head to the sky and took in the sight of rain. “Even the sky cries tonight. It cries that such bloodshed must exist.” He turned his head from the sky to another group of Sith as they prepared to strike. “But you, you are the ones who have caused all this. You have suffered the people for power. You are demons and must die as such.” His tone was solemn but grew with hate for the evil in the area. In his mind, creatures such as the Sith were so evil that their very existence was blasphemy in the face of existence.

 

(the lyrics begin)

 

Nazomishi narrowed his eyes towards the Sith and kicked off vanishing from view and slashing upwards along one spurting blood everywhere into the sky with his freshly constructed Katana. Two Sith tried attacking him from the sides but he activated two Lightsabers hidden under his robe impaling them in the stomach and controlling them to nearly rip them in half.

 

“Suffer my ultimate technique.” Nazomishi unzipped his robe with the force tossing it to the side as he revealed the remainder of 12 Lightsabers. He held two of his self-made swords, one in each hand and used the force to levitate twelve Lightsabers around his body. Then came the slaughter. Nazomishi sent them like spears and floating swords thrusting and slashing; cutting in so many ways none within the range of his twelve blades stood a chance. Even the stronger Sith were cut down with ease as they were overpowered by superior numbers, striking in unison.

 

As he cut them down Nazomishi ran through the ranks of Sith at speeds only readable by the strongest. He leaped into the air cutting one in two before kicking off a nearby building and diving back down upside down, landing on the hilt of two lightsabers. He hovered on them for a moment before kicking his feet to propel both of the sabers into the throat of one and the groin of another only to quickly turn the piercing into a slice through the body. This standard pierce and slice always ensured a swift death.

 

After taking out several dozen in a similar manner most were trying to keep their distance when Nazomishi retracted his sabers and brought them close to himself. He looked on in disgust at the men who could kill relentlessly then cower in fear when they met someone stronger than they. He raised his hand at a glob of ten and used force lightning sending them to their knees in death.

 

End song

 

---With Aoshi Shinomori---

 

Cue new song: Blow me away By Breaking Benjamin

 

The gongs tolled as Aoshi Shinomori went into battle with his newly crafted twin Kodachi drawing them as the rain dripped from his hair and an urge filled his eyes. He walked closer taking note of his close proximity from the entrance to a large and intricate complex. The killer intent he began releasing frightened many of the Sith so deeply they were frozen in place thinking `What is this.? It's not force fright but…He cant be normal…' and then he began his onslaught vanishing from their line of view. Their eyes could only make out the reflection of the blades as its afterimage seemed to pass through their sabers with their next thoughts cut short by death.

 

Aoshi reappeared within their line of sight as nearly twenty Sith warriors fell to the ground in death. The Coming ones readied themselves as Aoshi spoke. “These Twin Kodachi represent Punishment and Death, your punishment and your death.” He fell back into another battle position as those capable of surpassing the inhuman fear he was instilling in them began to move and charge. Aoshi began using force lightning on his blades charging them with electricity leaping from the blades as he leaped into the air striking down one blade after another spinning into another Sith discharging the electrical blade in a bolt through his body and the next behind him.

 

“Today is your last.” Aoshi spoke as he refilled his Kodachi and smashed them together in an X unleashing a wave of Electricity upon the Sith shocking them for the moment needed to blaze across the ground and end them.

 

End song

 

 

Cue: What I've done by Linkin Park

 

Kenshin had just landed and began emerging from his cockpit as a Sith leaped into the air diving down upon Kenshin with a Lightsaber in each hand. Kenshin's eyes seemed to grow dark and cold as they shrunk and flashed. A bolt of lightning struck nearby as Kenshin used the force and a wave of the hand to blast the Sith away. He stepped out of the ship and grabbed the man with the force snapping his spine by bending him backwards.

 

The first Sith to step forward felt excited to see a true battle with someone strong while several flinched at the sight of such a brutal killing. Most had thoughts similar to the first as they all began to step forward. They felt they would surely kill him with their far superior numbers. Kenshin stopped his walk towards them and began to speak in a cold harsh tone which sent chills down many of their spines. “I can see your crimes, the evil and hate in you.” Kenshin spat at them with disgust. “I am Hitokiri Battousai, your Grim Reaper.”

 

Nearly fifty members of the Sith Saw another flash of lightning behind Kenshin as he slowly walked towards them. Then the one closest to him…Exploded in blood and gore as wave upon wave of what seemed like light flew across the battle field. They tried to cut it but to no avail. The wave simply passed through their blades as he drew closer wavering around his single blade through the air madly. The Sith caught within the powerful technique were slashed to pieces. Every streak of light cleaved a chunk from the poor soul who found himself at the receiving end. His strikes were so strong he was literally cutting the air. The result was an attack that had become a favorite among the sword wielding Zate, the Sora Wari.

 

Kenshin was in no control what so ever. This was entirely the Battousai, brought on by the evil he could feel within the members of the Sith. He had long since left behind his reverse blade sword for a powerful blade forged by Nazomishi, now replaced by an even better one.

 

The members of the Sith were wondering what was going on when even with his slow walking, he drew closer to them. That was when they felt it. A powerful presence unlike any they had ever felt before. They had no clue what this was but it was so thick in the air some were having trouble breathing. The more skilled ones in the area knew what it was. It was full and unhindered intent to kill of a level they had never felt before. Something that could only be created by one both powerful and with a purpose, a purpose that would rise beyond that of greed, gain, power or anything so shallow as that. It had to be a true reason, a purpose for existence. This existence existed to destroy the evil binding the citizens of this former Republic.

 

The weight of this will was dragging them to the ground gasping for air as their lives were ever so accurately taken out.

 

The Battousai made his way towards the tower walking a literal self created rain of blood.

 

End song

 

This was a complete and utter loosing battle for the Sith. Their numbers once toping one Thousand, had been reduced in the last thirty minutes little more than two hundred. The Jedi starting out with near six hundred were only down to around four hundred and moving ever closer to the academy pushing the Sith back into the complex.

 

 

---With Yoda, Windu, Ki and a Hundred Jedi---

 

The Jedi were entering the sky rise from the ground floor and began flooding the floors in teams. The three Masters Yoda, Windu and Ki Made their way towards the emperor's office lead by Aniken himself. They knew he was there, they could feel him … He was leading them there and they knew it. But after all this demon possessed man has done, none of them cared. Their goal was his death and they would have it or die trying.

 

They had… an open path… and a calm and sadistic voice came on the loudspeaker within the building telling them. “Withdraw… your Jedi. You will fight me and me alone.” Reluctantly they did as requested and made their way through the complex nearing his chambers and when they arrived the doors opened.

 

Cue One Winged angel from advent children (only imagine them saying Sidious instead of Sephiroth)

 

The room was a massive room with a long red carpet lining down the center and red marble pillars flowing down each side of the office with his desk at the end in a massive swivel chair. Torches lined the walls for what dim light there was.

 

Sidious turned in his chair and stood. “Welcome, Master Jedi” He smiled sadistically as he drew not one but two Lightsabers.

 

(the electric guitar section begins)

 

“This time Darth, you will die.” Windu stated removing his hood and clutching his lightsaber.

 

“*Breathing*, yes it is time your reign of terror came to an end.” Vader spoke with a hate he had not felt in years. Not since he had learned that it was he who had killed Padme.

 

“This time, Loose I WILL NOT!”

 

Aniken, Yoda, Windu, and Ki stood together igniting their lightsabers as Starkiller entered the room from a door in the side, his robes flowing behind him.

 

(the chorus begins their chant)

 

Starkiller's demonically yellow eyes shown through the darkness along with a horrible smirk. Looking the same as Anakin's looked all those years ago when he himself joined the dark side.

 

Vader seemed only a little surprised as Starkiller drew his distinctly blood red blade.

 

Windu and Aniken leaped into action against Starkiller as Yoda and Ki split up running around the other two making their way for Sidious. The Dark Lord picked up a cane and held it towards the sky. “FOOLS!! I hold the scepter of Ragnos!” He screamed as power began to emit from the cane supercharging both himself and Starkiller. “You should have known Master. Lord Sidious is the one who gave Me MY POWER!” Starkiller screamed at Anakin as both seemed to grow by several inches before their eyes. Starkiller drew a second Lightsaber blocking the attacks from both Aniken and Windu as the sparks flew from the clashing blades and the sound was that of a true battle. Jedi Vs the Sith.

 

 

---With Sanosuke---

 

Cue Disturbed - Stricken

 

Sano looked upon the battle field and saw the remaining Sith outside. His area around the complex was the only one remaining where the Jedi had not eliminated or driven away the Sith. This area, held the most Jedi Casualties of any area, they had been completely eliminated by the time Sano arrived.

 

He arrived on the scene just in time to see the final Jedi in the area fall. A man who he recognized as Re-Mujin the man who had trained him in using the force as an enhancement of his own fist to fist fighting style. Sano, was pissed. He had looked up to this man like a father, the same way he looked up to old man Sagara, the man he had taken his name from.

 

He bent down to Mujin's body closing his eyes. Sanosuke spent a moment of silence for his fallen teacher. When he could no longer take the pain of the moment he stood, turning to the Sith that had dealt out the killing blow.

 

“You don't know the world of pain you just opened for yourself.” Sano growled as he rose fully looking at the single Sith who slew his second father figure.

 

“Then draw your blade weakling, you will fall like all the other Jedi in this area.”

 

“GURRAAAA” Sano screamed as he unleashed a wave of Force power blowing back everything within twenty feet including the Sith who scooted along the ground until he regained his hold.

 

Sano rushed forward neglecting his blade and threw a powerful Force enhanced punch at the man. The Sith went to cut his arm in two thinking Sano was just another fool. That was when Sano's fist collided with the saber and actually threw the blade back causing a backlash in the man's thumb and nearly throwing the blade back enough to cut his arm off.

 

”!!! What the hell!!!” Sano smirked with chilling fascination knowing the gauntlets Nazomishi made him worked like a charm.

 

He the leaped into the air and in a sky dive drove a Force enhanced punch into the ground as the Sith avoided the attack. A surprise awaited. The ground began to crumble under the force of the punch (think something Tsunade or Sakura would do)

 

As the smoke cleared from the rubble hundreds of stones from the crater began flying into the air and floating as Sano sent them flying at the Sith by the Dozens. The small stones easily went through the man unable to block so many at once while larger ones either lodged themselves within him or simply crushed bones beneath their intensity.

 

Sano then picked the man up into the air with the Force focusing with both hands. Sano then waved his hands out to the size with such intensity that he used the force to rip the man in two.

 

The remaining Sith watching on the sidelines had wide eyes at the act fearing the strength this man had with the Force to wield such horrible power.

 

Sano having finished his avenging of his father figure drew his Lightsaber and activated the massive blade. He leaped into the air spinning the massive blade and raking it along two and three at a time sweeping away those who blocked and searing away the ones unlucky enough to fall prey to the enormous blade.

 

End song

 

---The former Jedi Academy---

 

With the majority of the remaining Sith eliminated or driven into the academy the Y-Bombers commenced in carpet bombing the building demolishing it in it's entirety.

 

 

--- The Zate---

Around ten minutes after the bombing of the former academy, the Zate had gathered together attempting to communicate on Division three's mission.

 

“Master Yoda, Ki, Windu, come in, how goes the fight over.” …”…static…”

 

“Can anybody get them on their communicators?”

 

“Sadly no I came here hoping one of yours would work that I did.”

 

“ Same here between us it works just fine.”

 

“ Blast, hopefully its just the properties of the room they're in.”

 

“Well lets get going, hopefully none of them are hurt.”

 

 

At that moment Kaoru landed in a transport ship along with ten Medical Jedi

 

“Is everyone alright!”

 

“Yes were fine, get us to Division three, we cant reach them.”

 

“Right, Right away”

 

 

They all filed into the transport ship and made their way to the Emperor's throne room. Reaching the building they could see the Jedi that went with them were all standing outside with Lightsabers withdrawn. Landing they asked what was going on but the only answer they received was the concerned comment that the Masters went to face them alone and haven't returned since.

 

---Imperial Throne Room---

 

The Zate made it to the throne room the sight they saw was horrific.

 

Starkiller was standing over the headless body of Sidious as it fell to the ground. But that wasn't the horrible thing. The thing that really caught their attention was the fact that Yoda was trying to get up and failing, he was covered in scars and his clothes were tattered and shredded beyond recognition. Master Ki's body was cleaved in two and battered beyond recognition. Then Windu had several deep gashes along his back just barely making it through his armor. Vader was missing his arms not to mention a leg making a very feeble attempt to do something that looked like crawling away.

 

“ breathing breathing breathing Starkiller…Why….” Aniken just barely wheezed out beneath his black mask.

 

“Because I saw an opportunity and I took it, you were always a senile old fool. I'm the one with all the power now and you are nothing… it would seem our guests have arrived.” He gave an evil grin as he walked away from the dieing bodies of the gallant warriors and towards the Zate. He sent his hand towards the remains of Sidious and used the force to bring the scepter of Ragnos into his hand. “I am the one with the power, I am the one who will rule this Galaxy.”

 

Cue: Duel of the fates

 

“Iv got news for you Starkiller, the people have revolted, and with storm troopers as spread out as they are right now they are probably being crushed. Nazomishi stated coldly as Kaoru rushed over to begin healing their fallen friends. Kenshin stopped her and said “No Kaoru, stay back, the battle is not over yet.” The Battousai had left his mind but something greater was in it's place. His resolve to end this quickly was great but there was no hate, merely determination. His resolve had been set as had the remainder of the Zate.

 

“Give it up Starkiller, there's no way you can beat all of us.” Kenji shouted drawing his light saber prompting the others to draw theirs as well.

 

Nazomishi, Kenshin, Kenji, Kaoru, Hiko, Aoshi , Rei, and Sanosuke were all present and ready for battle.

 

“You just don't get it do you?, I AM GOD! I hold the power of the most powerful Sith in HISTORY!… And with this scepter I can drain the force power out of any planet I wish and add it to my own.”

 

“You will never win with stolen power.” Starkiller's eyes grew huge and maniacal as he laughed and laughed, he had officially lost it. The power had taken hold of him and wasn't letting go. He was no longer Starkiller, he was merely a body, a body harboring the hate and evil energy the Scepter had absorbed and pumped him full of. The embodiment of the dark side of the force tainted with the evil thoughts of mankind.

 

Starkiller swung the scepter at Hiko firing a beam of energy with such raw evil power it burned a hole strait through the blast doors and exited the building. It seemed like it passed through Hiko but in reality only an after image was left and he was using the Ryu Tsui Sen enhancing his mussels with the force smashing his katana down upon Starkiller further enhanced by his weighted clothing beneath his robe. Starkiller maintained his position and effortlessly blocked the powerful attack with his Lightsaber as energy radiated from the clash blowing everyone's robes in the wind generated from the attack.

 

Starkiller was quickly surrounded as Hiko leaped away and every Master of the Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu used Kuzu Ryu Sen. Kenshin, Nazomishi, Hiko, and Kenji thrusted their blades forth with intense speed each striking at nine points and virtually the exact time. All five of them struck the nine times each from five different sides.

 

It came to the surprise of everyone when Starkiller simply raised the Scepter into the air and unleashed a powerful wave of the Force to blow the strikes away.

 

The five warriors spent several seconds recovering from the impressive wall of energy which blasted them away to the corners of the room. The Zate looked at each other and nodded as everyone surrounded Starkiller and thrusted both palms forth using Force lightning.

 

The Lightning surrounded the room reacting violently, colliding with more lightning, redirecting and flying further generating such heat that the ground beneath Starkiller began to glow bright red.

 

The onslaught cooled down after a few moments when something shocked the Zate yet again. Not only had the same barrier as before blocked the entire attack. It was emitting enough Force energy that Starkiller was floating several feet in the air. Everyone was blasted away from the recoil of the energy absorbed by the barrier being unleashed back at them. This blast was beyond anything any of them had seen created by any force user. It blasted Nazomishi into a stone pillar so hard it cracked the pillar and knocked him out. Kaoru was out by the concussion of the blast along with Rei and Aoshi. Hiko and Sano were blinded by the light of the blast and Kenshin was sent flying across the room and rolling along the floor until the came to a deadening stop near a freshly shattered window behind once was the Emperor's desk.

 

Even Kenshin's eyesight was harmed significantly by the blast, a thing he discovered as he struggled to stand.

 

“You are all weak, none can stand up to the power of Ragnos. I am the FORCE!” Kenshin finally stood but still hung his head in exhaustion. Kenshin raised his sword in utter stress, every muscle aching from the damage of Starkiller's last attack. “You…you are no more the force than I. No matter what you do you will never be the force.”

 

“My power is infinite you cannot defeat what is infinite.”

 

“That is where you are wrong, power is nothing if your body cannot take the strain, yours is beginning to buckle that it is.” Kenshin smirked a little but inwardly knew it was still a long shot to win. He would have to use that forbidden technique. “You are more foolish than I thought Master Kenshin.

 

“It is you who were foolish to give me the time needed to prepare this attack.” Kenshin's voice remained cold and calculating he wanted Starkiller to be curious as he raised his blade to the sky. “This technique will end you.”

 

“I hate bluffs…!!” at that moment a bolt of lightning struck Kenshin's blade diffusing into the room around them producing a light so bright that it blinded Starkiller and the exploding sound generated blasted out his eardrums all in one violent strike. Starkiller grabbed his head in pain. “AAAAAAAHHHHHH AAAH AH AAH AAAAAAAAAH” The pain was incredible for Starkiller. Blood dripped from his ears while his now dead eyes wondered aimlessly for the producer of the incredible attack. It was the one attack he had no chance of blocking, no one could. The flash was simply so bright it would blind any eyes even closed behind eyelids.

 

Kenshin sheathed his blade and held it off to his side. “You have killed, betrayed and suffered even your own Master. This room of rebellion is where you will see hell.” Kenshin knew Starkiller could not hear him, even Kenshin himself couldn't hear anything at this point. But he knew he had to strike while Starkiller was still suffering the pain from the attack. “Repent in Hell.” Kenshin leaped forth with the ultimate attack of the Hiten Mitsurugi ryu the Ama Kakeru Ryu no Hirameki. Kenshin blasted forth with such speed every kick of his feet crushed the marble floors in the room. And when his attack entered the strike, the Force signaled for Starkiller to dodge. He did successfully leaping over the attack not realizing the true purpose of the attack.

 

The same as Shishio, Starkiller had avoided the initial strike of the attack but remained unable to win. The true power of the attack kicked in. It was so powerful, so fast that the air cut by the blade flew away leaving a void where it had been. Due to the force of the attack this vortex was so large it began sucking in as many objects as it could dragging Starkiller to the Center of the vortex. It did not stop there. Hiko struggled from a corner using the force to blindly control the Lightsabers of himself and his fallen comrades, activating them and throwing them into the void all puncturing Starkiller and leaving him as a pincushion of Lightsabers as Kenshin finished the mid air rotation slamming his blade into Starkiller's back severing his spin and ripping him in half along with the scepter of Ragnos.

 

Starkiller's body was unrecognizable to anybody, the mangled blob of Lightsabers, flesh and scraps laid motionless in the middle of the room. The battle was done. The Jedi had destroyed the Empire.
