(An: I just really wanted to write this chapter. I was super excited to do it, so I hope you all don't mind it coming out a little bit sooner than you may have expected).

(Avona's flagship) 3rd pov

"You have my attention. What sort of weapon did you have in mind?" Avona questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"It's this." Duke replied, pulling out his hollow communicator, which showed an image of a massive ship.

"Behold the Malevolence." Dooku stated proudly.

Avona was amazed the size of the ship was enormous and what amazed her the most was the main weapon which looked like an ion cannon.

"That's a very impressive ship count however the resources of  such a project will be astronomical and by my calculations based of this rough image. It will take 3 of the Raxon ship yards to build that's 60% of our total space." Avona stated matter of factly

"I'm aware of that General. I just want to know can you do it." Dooku replied sounding a little annoyed.

"Yes I can but I'll say this Dooku it won't be free. Just cause I serve the confederacy doesn't mean you get some large special discount. I've already given you enough by only charging you half for those frigates and dreadnoughts this will cost you extra."

Dooku frowned at the statement. He was always annoyed, dealing with businessman, and he had assumed that Avona would comply with the request a little bit more freely, instead of making this argument with him.

"Very well how many credits will this cost?"

"I'll charge you 3 trillion credits for the creation of this new weapon pay the price in full and I can double my efforts to ensure it's completed sooner."

"Deal I trust you won't disappoint me general."

"Trust me count you'll have your weapon, and the Republic will be brought to its knees." Avona replied darkly.

True his word three days later account Duku sent the money to the  Raxon trade quild headquarters on Morelia.

And true to her word, Avona doubled her efforts to ensure it was completed sooner. Due to the ships massive size, She had to commission a large number of droids to ensure its  completion at a faster rate.

What amazed her was the sheer number of Tourette in Canada placements that would be on the ship, and the fact that she had to put a large pair of rail jets in the middle of it in order to travel between the various floors of the ship

The hardest part of the ship was the plasma rotors, and the main armament of the ion canon. The weapon was so massive that she had to put several large plasma Generators just to ensure stability of this weapon when it was fired because by her calculations, if she didn't place enough plasma in the ship when the ship would fire, it would only be able to do three effective shots before the ship would be basically destroyed if they didn't stabilize the power.

But even with this insurance, she knew that the ship in order for it to remain fully functional the main ion canon would have to recharge after every shot, and it would take roughly 15 minutes in order for it to recharge .

Nonetheless, she had the weapon completed in about five months during this time the separatists had lost the negotiations with toydaria.

(Raxon trade guild head quarters).

Avona stood on the landing pad as two ships descended from space one had count Dooku, the other general grievous.

The count Exited his ship with the signature grace of one of his status.

Grievous was well marching out, as if he owned the place much to Avona's annoyance.

Forcing a smile on her face, she greeted the two "Ah count Dooku and general Grevious welcome to Morelia."

"I trust the news you had, for us was worth the travel."

"Certainly my Lord behold." Avona declared pulling out her holo projector which showed the completed Malevolence.

Grievous  and Dooku were amazed the image was one thing, but seeing it fully completed now was another.

"Sirs I give you the malevolence, the flagship of the confederacy navy equipped with over 100 turbo lasers and two prime ion cannons capable of knocking out three ships at once. the Republic will be sitting ducks when they face this new weapon."

Dooku couldn't hold back his smile.

"Impressive general you do not disappoint. However from here on out general grievous will be taking over command of the malevolence is that clear?" His tone left basically no room for argument.

"Yes my lord."

Avona bowed  humbly. However, she was barely keeping her anger in check, she knew that the cyborg was a very very reckless commander of valuing trophies, and less important targets over the goal of the main mission itself. More than once she had read reports of the good general, often attacking and destroying his own droids just because they suggested something else.

This led her to often having contempt feelings regarding the good general, but she knew that she could not protest the order of the country, and therefore obliged.

"I thank you for your cooperation general as a reward I wish to grant you a position aboard the male malevolence. I want you to be one of its supervisors to ensure that general grievous knows exactly how to handle it."

Grievous looked shocked by the statement .

"That will not be necessary count I am more than capable of handling this ship on my own." Grievous boasted.

"No general you don't understand. General Avona made the weapon and therefore she knows how to operate it and its key weaknesses. If it has any does it.?" Dooku question returning to face Avona.

"For the most part, it doesn't however, it would be vulnerable without proper fighter support, and I do recommend having escort frigates  just in case the main part will be vulnerable. Is the ion canon which is why I do recommend the support for it if the ship isn't properly escorted a large Republic attack force, especially smaller ships that are faster could outmaneuver its main weapon."

"I see though I trust you will ensure that these weaknesses are dealt with if you're aboard the malevolence, correct."

"Of course sir, I'll make certain of it."

With that being said, the malevolence was officially discharged from the Raxon drive yards and it set off to cause havoc on the republic.

(Rising malevolence).

The Abrigado system.

Plo kon stood on the bridge of his ship as his men attempted to reestablish contact with Skywalker.

"What happened to the transmission?" PLO kon questioned worry evident in his tone.

"The enemy is jamming us."

"Sir the enemy ship is approaching us."

Sure enough, the malevolence began to charge up its ion weapon.

"Open fire." PLO kon ordered urgency filling his voice.

"We're not in range yet, sir."

(Aboard the malevolence).

"Ion canon, fully charged." A B1 reported.

"Fire." Grevious commanded.

The large purple energy field was fired and it quickly shut down the main Republic ships leaving them defenseless.

As the malevolence's cannons began to unleash a devastating mirage that tore apart the ships one by one.

However seeing the disaster before his eyes Plo kon ordered his men to head to the pods to try to save themselves.

"Another successful test wouldn't you say count?"

"Hmm Avona what is your assessment?" Dooku replied ignoring Grevious.

"I'm no expert when it comes to dealing with Jedi led task forces. But if we are to ensure the secrecy of this weapon, I would recommend capturing those escape parts so that we can imprison them within our prisoner of war camp in accordance with the Naboo convention."

"Hmm no. Grevious send out the hunters I want those life pods destroyed."

Avona was horrified by the order, but grievous simply looked gleeful.

"Yes master."

However, Avona quickly protested.

"Sir according to the Naboo convention, since those life pods are defenseless, most likely with their inhabitants, unarmed, we are to take them prisoner, not kill them. They are no longer an active threat on the battlefield."

"I'm aware of that general however, I want no witnesses, and they could escape custody. You do want to ensure the secrecy of this weapon do you not." Dooku testing her loyalty.

"Yes sir." Avona growled.

The hunters were largely successful, and destroyed most of the life pods, except for the one where plo kon was.

"The hunters have missed their check in their long overdue." A b1 reported.

"Perhaps some survivors are putting up a fight." Grevious stated glaring at who simply glared right back.

"Yes it appears so turn the ship around we must find it immediately and turn on the droid scanners maximum sensitivity." Dooku commanded.

Eventually, they would find Anakin Skywalker rescuing the last pod, firing the ion canon they attempted to stop him from escaping. However, he immediately jumped into lightspeed aboard the twilight out, raging grievous.

"Rahhh now the Republic will find out about our ion Canon." Grevious stated looking up at Dooku.

"Most disappointing I must report this to my master Avona will you be remain aboard this ship or do you want to return to the third fleet?"

"I'll stay sir to insure the ships protection because now that the Republic knows about our ion Cannon, they're definitely gonna make an effort to destroy it now, and I fear they may have learned its weakness."

"Very well I'll have the third fleet relocate. Do you want to bring them to this position?"

" if they aren't needed elsewhere, then, yes, we would require the third fleet for  protection to ensure the defense of this ship."

"That will not be necessary, count this ship, and its power outmatch anything the third fleet could bring." Grevious denied boasting once again about the ships power.

"Your assurances mean nothing to me general but just to save our numbers, I will approve of your request. However, you must consult with a Avona on any major decisions now regarding this ship I don't want it to be destroyed." Dooku replied firmly.

"Yes master." Grevious growled.

(Shadow malevolence). Resolute.

After realizing that the malevolence was limited by the speed of its ion canon, Skywalker theorized that a small group of bombers could possibly out maneuver. It's main weapon and then target bridge taking out two key generals.

Republic intelligence had learned that both Avona and grievous were aboard the malevolence, and if the bridge was destroyed, too high raking officers would fall with it and it would deal a critical blow to the confederacies war effort.

By now, Admiral Yularen had turned the briefing over to Skywalker.

"Thank you admiral. While our main ships are vulnerable to the enemies main weapon, I believe that a small group of bombers can out maneuver the ships main weapon.

Our target will be the bridge along with general, Avona and general grievous."

The clones began to murmur, many amazed at the boldness of such targets.

Eventually, just as the bombers prepared to take off plo kon confronted Skywalker about a troubling report.

"Skywalker the enemies warship has targeted medical transports that were carrying crucial supplies for a medical station, passing Rendalia."

"Medical transports only grievous and Avona would go after clones who can't fight back." Ahsoka growled angrily.

"I don't think Avona would've approved of such a thing." Obi wan defended. "I've read her thesis on warfare, and she puts special emphasis on obeying the Naboo convention and treating people fairly during war time so I don't think she approved of the attack. This was most likely grevious's doing."

"Why would I confederacy general care about that and treating enemies fairly? They clearly have no trouble torturing and harming civilians." Skywalker retorted.

"True but Avona doesn't come from a greedy background we actually know very little about her however, the reports that we have received from intelligence about her due point to her being with the most merciful commander, the confederacy has." Obi-Wan stated.

"Well regardless since those medical transports were near Rendalia. My guess is grievous is most likely targeting the Naboo medical station." Skywalker stated.

Eventually, the Republic would takeoff and begin its journey to destroy the malevolence.

(Near the medical station).

"Good news, sir, the Navi computer says we have only one parse left to go." A droid reported to Grevious.

"Good we will maximize our casualties with this attack."

"Your to overconfident general. I may have constructed this ship but even I don't have that much faith in its power I'd feel more comfortable if we had escorts yet you denied us such reinforcements with your arrogance.

You don't seem to comprehend the Republic, most likely not going to give up until this ship is destroyed and it's only a matter of time until that happens.

And when your arrogance leads to the ships downfall, I will be there to tell you I told you so." Avona ranted marching right up to the general, a look of fury on her face.

Before grievous could argue back a B1 reported that Coung Dooku was contacting them.

"Grevious, Avona I have received intelligence from Lord Sidious. The Republic has launched a small, strike force to destroy the malevolence."

"Let the Republic come our ship is unstoppable." Grievous Boasted proudly.

"Skywalker is leading the mission do not underestimate him." Dooku warned.

"Bah I assure you count if anything, it is Skywalker, who underestimates this ship and its power." Grevious replied as the transmission cut out.

"Have all vulture, droids on standby, and ready to launch at a moments notice." Avona commanded the bridge droids.

"Yes mistress."

"What are you doing?" Grevious demanded annoyed.

"Taking precautions, so we don't underestimate our enemy." Avona replied coldly.

Eventually, the malevolence exited hyper space near the medical station and There were several transports fleeing at that time.

"Target those transports." Grevious commanded.

"Grevious are you blind to the fact that Skywalker is right there?" Avona pointed out as  12 republic Y wings began to approach.

"It doesn't matter. Fire the ion Canon at once." Grevious ordered ignoring Avona.

Growling Avona turned to a B1 droid. "have all vulture, droids launch and attack those Y wings before they get any closer understood."

"Yes mam." The droid replied.

Eventually, the medical transports fleeing were destroyed, and the vulture droids began to fight with Skywalker's squadron.

"Prepare the ion Canon again first, we will finish off skywalker, then we will destroy the medical station."

"Are you mad? Our vulture droids are out there they'll be caught in the blast." Avona protested livid at the cyborg's incompetence.

"I said fire at once."

"Sir." A B1 questioned hinting at what Avona just said.

"Fire on my command." Grevious ordered angrily.

The ion Canon did manage to knock out half of Skywalker's men however, also took out most of the vulture, droids much to Avona's annoyance.

"You fool now we have no fighters to come attack skywalk as he makes his approach. Have all cannons lock onto Their position at once." Avona commanded glaring at Grevious before turning to face the viewing port.

Eventually, after losing more men to the cannons, skywalker changed targets and began heading for the ion Canon.

Firing dozens of torpedoes they managed to overload the weapon just as grievous fired it.

"Damage report." Grievous ordered picking himself up off the ground.

"We lost both Primary weapons, and the hyperdrive has been disabled." A B1 reported grimly.

"No." Avona replied getting up as well.

"Generals there are three Republic warships entering the system." A b1 reported just  as three venators approached them.

Turning to face, grievous glaring at him with a face of fury. "I told you so general." Avona growled as the republic began to fire on the malevolence.

An: hope you all enjoyed, and I'm sorry if this came a bit too early for you guys, but I just really wanted to write this.
