Chapter 2: The beginning of the end

Crimson POV

Alex: my Lord...what should we do?
Crimson: let's be rational... like Vectivus did, let's take our time...build power, what year is it?
Alex: give me a minute

Time skip 1 minute

Alex: 2008 my lord

I have been alive a long time, I have seen and out live empires and your telling me I traveled back in time to see my sister turn 13? This has to be a cruel joke.

Crimson: Hey Alex
Alex: yes
Crimson: can we start a new batch of clones?
Alex: but my lord, they will not be on time
Crimson: accelerate their age...an old friend showed me how to stop the aging process
Alex: REALLY!!!
Crimson: FOR FUCK....mmm...I'm next to you
Alex: sorry my lord...but who?
Crimson: general Rex
Alex: of course

I then started walking around the room thinking, how many clones should we make. If we invade by force we will end up needing more that what we have at hand. If...I know now.

Crimson: ALEX!!!
Alex: YES
Crimson: how much would it take to get a small battalion with 2 carrier ships?
Alex: I would say about...40 minuets
Crimson: good, I plan to stay for some time but we need to start creating capital
Alex: I see...should I stay in charge of the ship sir?
Crimson: take care of the empire if you want
Alex: sometimes I feel you just don't give a fuck

I then walked away heading towards the medical room.

Alex POV

Dick.

Crimson POV

I was heading towards the medical room to see Willow. As I was heading there one of the Clones came up to me and took hold of my arm. By instinct I took my light saber and hold it to his throat.

Clone: s-s-sir
Crimson: what happened trooper?
Clone: I was just about to tell you that the girl has been stabilized and she's doing great
Crimson: oh, well it just happens that I'm going there myself
Clone: then follow me
Crimson: lead the way

I then followed the clone to the medical wing and then we went directly to the room where they hold the injured personal. She was heavily guarded with 4 clone guards holding the place. Thank you Alex. But for some reason seeing her like that made me feel awful, and full of hatred. Like someone should die for this.

Crimson: what's her condition?
Clone: she's ok, at the rate she's going I would say she will be back and going on a week
Crimson: that's great...anything else I should be informed of?
Clone: yes, I was also gonna inform you and captain Alex about the two rebels
Crimson: spill it out then
Clone: we think that the rebels were here since the beginning, they killed the Guards and switch places
Crimson: that's great...I'll be going now

Time skip hangers

I was now surrounded by my clones discussing how are we gonna approach the planet.

Crimson: ok...listen up, as much as I want to conquer that planet I have to say that we can't...at the moment at least. We have lost complete connection to the Empire, so my priority is to take care of the ship and personal in it * start coughing* except the storm troopers * stops coughing * so I'm gonna "sell them this new tec" to make a profit. Since we don't know their fuel and we don't want to put them on our level, so I ask, what's the next source of energy that's actually free?
Clones: ...* whispering *....solar power
Crimson: exactly, now, me and Alex are gonna go down into that planet and sell to the highest bidder
Clone: but sir won't we need to have an identity for that?

Seriously he just asked that? I used the forced and choked him. Every clone were either scared of felt sorry for him. But since he's one of my men I let go of him.

Alex: Damn it Steve what have I told you about stupid questions!!!
Steven: to think before speaking...sorry sir
Alex: I would of shot ya myself if it wasn't that your one of my best demolishing troop

We then got onboard of the two ships. I ended up taking 12 clones only seeing that a small battalion was over power. Once we entered the atmosphere I told the pilot to go north to the kingdom of Atlas.

Alex: pardon me but how do you know about this world my lord? Is not even on galactic record
Crimson: I...was here once, so long ago I don't even remember how I got of this planet
Alex: I see...how long?
Crimson: over a thousand years ago
Alex: I see

We then made it to Atlas, gotta say its as cold as I remembered. But I have no time for memories now. But as I was thinking one of the clones alerted us.

Pilot: sir we are requested to land into the Atlas base for inspection in order of the Kingdom of Mantle, what should I do?
Crimson: do it...follow them

And so we were escorted to the base by what if I was not mistaken bullheads.

Time skip 10 minuets

We were arriving at the Atlas base we were told. I could see a lot of soldiers pointing at us. Then out of nowhere a tall man dress in all white came up to us.

???: who are you?
Crimson: we are just a private mercenary group looking to sell our tec to the army
???: Really
Alex: yes...this are some of our carrier ships, they can hold up around 12 people inside of them, can also be equipped with guns
???: that's actually great

We then saw that the soldier around us started laughing and chuckling.

???: why would we buy them
Alex: solar power

Now they started laughing out loud.

???: wow, you are dumb...this is how it will go down, you will leave your ships here and disappear
Alex: or what?
???: or I will have an entire squad shoot you down
Alex: I'll like to see you try

Ironwood POV

???2: I'll like to see you try

Is he really seriously? I'll make them regret it.

Ironwood: ok people point....

Everyone pointing their weapons at them.

Ironwood: last chance
???1: I like our odds
Ironwood: fi-fir-fi-

I can't speak...w-what?!!! I-i c-can't breathe!!!

Ironwood: * chokes * s-sh

Crimson POV

I see all the soldiers paralyzed but then they open fire...

Crimson: what's the problem? Can't shoot?

I then let the general or what ever he is go.

???: h-how
Alex: shut up...this is how it will happen...you either buy this or we can find someone else
???: Fine, well buy them...how much?
Crimson: 1.7 million per ship
???: WHAT?!!!
Crimson: we can always find a private company
???: Fine, we'll take 5 no more
Crimson: that's more than enough

We then got in the remaining ship but as we were about to close the doors he called at us.

???: Hey!!!
Crimson: yes?
???: those weapons...how good are they?

I look at Alex and he nods at me signaling that if I said the word he will give a demonstration. So I just nodded back.

Alex POV

Lord Barren just gave me a green go. So I just got out of the ship and took a standard rifle. I gave it to him and after analyzing it he gave it back to me.

???: what type of dust does it use?
Alex: dust?
???: you gotta be kidding me...you know...the single most important source of energy
Alex: buddy-
Ironwood: that's general Ironwood for you
Alex: General...this gun uses non
Ironwood: bullshit

I then took it and shot all of his squad members even before they could pull the trigger, and the ones who were lucky enough to shoot missed every single shot. I then saw the great general scared shitless, I then walked towards him and kneeled his level.

Alex: what's wrong sloppy wood?
Sloppy wood: w-who are you people?
Alex: ......Barren's sword 

I then walked towards the ship but before I could get on I turned around spoke to him.

Alex: you can be expecting your new fleet by next week

And just like that we flew off.

Crimson POV

Crimson: seriously? Barren's sword?
Alex: something wrong with it?
Crimson: no...hey, do you guys have ever gone drinking?
Alex: no...no we have my lord
Crimson: I guess today is a good day then

And just like that we raided a liquor cellar. We took wine, rum and whiskey.

Crimson: Live by the sword!!!
Clones: Die by the sword!!!
