Chapter 94: End of the War Games

"Commander, we have surrounded the Government Building, but we haven't detected any movement inside." said B1-AC-169 "We tried using Thermal to check inside but the walls are lined with something that prevents us from seeing inside."

"Anything else." asked Jerid

"Nothing, we tried everything but we can't get a reading inside the building." said B1-AC-169 "It's impossible to tell what's going on, should we try and send in a scout."

"No, need." replied Jerid "I will use the Force to check inside."

Jerid then started sensing the environment around him with the Force. He started to spread the Force to the building, and when he started sensing the building, he found nothing, no one was even inside the building, it was completely empty.

"The building is empty." said Jerid

"Empty?" said B1-AC-169 "But the enemy should be using the government building as the headquarters for their operations, its the only logical option for them. We even were able to hack into their communications and confirmed that the government building is their headquarters "

"Send some scouts inside to check it out, they might of placed EMP bombs in the building as a trap." said Jerid

But before B1-AC-169 could send any scouts, a whooshing sound came from over head.

Everyone looked up and found artillery shells raining down upon them.

"Getting inside the buildings! or alleyways" shouted Jerid

Soon, every droid was running into the nearby buildings, they were either entering through the doors or jumping through the windows. Some of them entered the alleyways, then the artillery's shock shells landed in the streets where the droids once stood. It was lucky that every droid was able to get some cover and out of the way.

"Just what is going on?" said B1-AC-169 confusingly

"Looks like they knew you hacked their communications and they laid a trap for you to walk into." said Jerid "Pretty ingenious, I got to hand it to the person you laid out this trap."

"Thank you, Master." said a female voice from above

Everyone then looked up to find the owner of the voice and everyone saw a hooded female figure with a bunch of Security Force Officers on the roofs of the buildings.

Jerid was confused by how they were on the roof because he was sure he didn't sense any lifeforms nearby but then the answer showed itself to him. A bunch of Royal Naboo Lifters started lifting off and flying away from the rooftops.

The hood female figure then took off her hood to reveal Dia, Jerid's first apprentice.

"Did you like my little surprise, Master?" asked Dia

"I am pretty surprised." said Jerid "I never knew you were so good at leading troops."

"It's because I have been studying with R3-D4, and I was taught a lot about leading troops and strategies for the battlefield." said Dia "And now Master, surrender or be prepared to be suffer."

All of the Security Officers then took out shock grenades, ready to throw them into the alleyway at Dia's command.

"I am truly happy at your rate of growth, my young apprentice." said Jerid

"Thank you Master" said Dia

"But you should never give your enemies a choice to surrender or not because they can stall for time for a counterattack." chuckled Jerid

Dia then understood that her Master had something up his sleeves.

"Throw the grenades!" commanded Dia

But it was too late, he used [Force Travel] below his and the droids feet to instantly fall in and disappear.

"Damn, where did he disappeared to?!" cried Dia who began looking around for her missing Master and his droids.

"Right behind you" said a voice

Dia instantly turns around to see her Master swinging down a training saber towards her head while the droids started shooting the Security Officers. Dia quickly pushed herself backwards off the building and starts jumping down the walls of the alleyway to land on the ground and then runs away.

"AC-169, clean this area up." said Jerid

"Roger, roger." said B1-AC-169

Jerid then jumps off the roof and lands on the ground. He quickly runs after his apprentice.

Dia then looks behind her to see her Master chasing after her.

"Damn Master, what was that cheat!?" cried out Dia "You aren't playing fair, Master! I was going to finally win against you!"

"All is fair in love and war, they say." said Jerid "So technically I am not cheating."

Dia tries to run faster but her Master was still right behind her. She jumped into a nearby building and run up the stairs and went into a room on the second floor to jump out of a window and back into the streets but no matter what she tried she couldn't lose her Master.

Then a few items dropped from her cape, Jerid quickly recognized them as shock grenades. He then uses [Force Telekinesis] to toss them into a nearby window, and then they went off.

"That trick is getting a little old Dia." chuckled Jerid

"I know Master" chuckled Dia

When Jerid heard Dia chuckling, he had a bad feeling and then Dia quickly stops and turns around.

"FIRE!!" shouted Dia who then took out a ELG-3A blaster pistol and starts firing shock blasts

At the same time on the rooftops, Security Officers came out of hiding, all of them were carrying rocket launchers. The Security Officers started firing shock rockets at Jerid as well.

Jerid held out both of his hands to his sides, and used [Force Travel] opening to big portals on his right and left, both of which covered his front. The pistol blasts and the rockets entered the portals, and then exited two portals that appeared above the Security Forces on the roof, knocking them all out of commission.

"Ah come on, I specially planned this ambush for you when I found out you were here, and you were able to easily overcome it. Master, you are such a meanie." pouted Dia who then runs away again.

But before she could run away, the street was blockaded by 2 AAT-1 tanks which then aimed their cannons at her, the tanks were then followed by Droidekas and B1's.

"Dia, you are trapped." said Jerid "Surrender now"

"I surrender" sighed Dia who then dropped to the ground to sit down and put her hands up.

Just 15 minutes later, we were all outside the town at a standby area with the Droid Army and the Security Force members who were all rendered immobile.

"How many casualties on our side?" Jerid asked HK-47

"Report: 35 Droids were rendered immobile by the Security Force, while some mild damage was done to 200 droids." said HK-47 "Statement: These useless pieces of junk Droids need more training, I could of easily taken the town all by myself without a scratch on myself."

"I think they did pretty well. You can't compare B1 Droids to you, HK." said Jerid "They weren't design to be as highly functional and deadly as you. Their manufacturers designed them to cheap, easy to make and disposable."

"Statement: That is true, Master." said HK-47 "Their design is severely flawed unlike my perfect design with no flaws."

'Except for your weird personality traits.' thought Jerid

"Master, you are such a meanie." said Dia as she butted in to the conversation.

"How am I mean?" chuckled Jerid

"I would of won these war games if you didn't decided to join the games." pouted Dia

"Invalid: You would of not have won, little mea...one." said HK-47 "Even without the Master, I would of won these war games just not as soon."

"Oh is that so?" smirked Dia "I believe that I would of wiped the floor with your army with guerilla warfare and my ambushes planned."

"Invalid: Droids are far superior to organic meatbags, and your meatbag army would of been defeat, unable to stop our win." said HK-47

"Ok you two, calm down." said Jerid "I am happy at the droid army's progress, so keep up the training and good work HK. Also Dia, I didn't expect to see you in these war game but I got to say you did really well with your inferior forces. The traps, barricades and ambushes were all good ideas for a weak force like the Security Forces facing a big and better army. Now that they learned from you, what they learned from you will help them incase another invasion takes place on Naboo."

"It was nothing, Master." said Dia "I had R3-D4 give me plenty of private lessons on warfare tactics and strategies. I spent hours on learning warfare and on my own training as well so I could be more helpful to you."

"Since you have been working so hard and you have improve greatly not only in your combat skills but military skills, you can ask for anything as a reward for your hard work." said Jerid

"REALLY!" cried out Dia

"Yes, really." chuckled Jerid

"OK, I will come to you later tonight for my reward." giggled Dia who then quickly ran off somewhere.

Jerid chuckled at Dia, and then turned back to continue his conversation with HK4-47 about future plans for the droid army.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hello everyone, I am sorry for the late update but life has been hectic. I was busy with preparing for my school's Christmas activities and events. Also on Christmas Eve, my dog got hurt somehow and was bleeding. Don't worry, he is doing much better.

I have also been working on a novel for Webnovel's WSA for 2022 and completed 22 chapters so far for it and 5 chapters for another novel I am working on. I also came up with another 3 original novel ideas for a total of 5 novels. So with everything going on, I took a little break from Star Wars but I will try and get back into it. I plan on only focusing on my novel for WSA and this fan fic from now on. I plan on focusing on one original novel at a time so I won't get burnt out.
