Chapter 47

Aboard an Imperium battleship...

"We got the go signal to land on Site Gamma 4!" The words of the captain sounded on each communication equipment of his squad mates.

Just then, an electronic sound was heard all over the hall in which the Imperial Knights was waiting at stand by.

"Please proceed to your own respective sky cranes! I repeat please proceed to your own respective sky cranes..." the announcement in electronic voice sounded for a couple more times as the Imperial Knight suddenly came to life, their eyes glowing like a domineering force of nature.

The female noble from earlier drank from her water bottle as he Imperial Knight slowly walked towards its designated sky crane.

The whole hall was shaking due to the sheer weight and force behind each step of the Imperial Knights as the sky crane modules was redied.

Time quickly passed by as the Imperial Knights finally arrived at their respective sky cranes. Rope like things attached themselves on the whole figure of the Imperial Knights as suddenly their trapped on a box like storage with powerful engines on the bottom of it.

The packaged Imperial Knights then slowly was placed on cannon like storage as this cannon was aimed directly at the Death Star.

"Fuck, I hate this way of emtry on the battlefield." the female noble shook her head as she braced for the worst possible way to insert them to the battlefield. The way of literally firing them as bullets and having the engines on the bottom of the shell encasing them slow them down for a much safer landing. This was literally stomach tilting and will give anyone vertigo and possible light headedness as the speed in which they'll land was no less than mach 10.

The cloaking device of the battleship was lifted off as the shelled Imperial Knights packages was simultaneously launched with the speed of more than a hundred mach per hour.

The massive fleet of the Galactic Empire was startled at the sudden appearance of a full scaled fleet bearing the insignia of their enemy.

"Report! What's happening! How do they even got behind our rear!" shouted an admiral of a star destroyer as he stomped his foot on the floor in anger.

Admiral we-we don't know how did they do this? They must be using some sort of specialized advance hyperdrive modules." reported an officer of the Empire in a hurry as he looked at the history sensors they had and only saw nothing but the Rebel Alliance starfighters.

At this moment, their ship was hit by something powerful enough to disable their engines in one shot as chaos erupted on the Galactic Empire's fleet.

"Fight back! Fi-arghh!" the screams of people wasn't even finished when their swallowed by the flames of explosions as their own ships was turned to gas.

As the Imperium completely committed their battleships to fight the Empire's fleet in the system the higher command of the Death Star at this point was on turmoil. This was the Empire's most powerful weapon. They can't possibly lose this now. As the upper echelons was discussing what to do, the Imperial Knights hit the Death Star, sending powerful shockwaves which might've somehow tilted the Death Star a little bit to the right.

The command room shook as if an earthquake was happening as people find it hard to even stay on both feet due to the sheer force behind the shaking.

"What's happening? Officer tell me!" growled the commander named Tarkin as he clutched on the edge of an electronic table whike the whole room was violently shaking.

"Commander, we don't know!" reported back an officer as he tried to hold on to his station while reporting to commander Tarkin.

"Damn it!" Tarkin growled as the shaking jas eventually weakened and subsided. The whole Death Star slowly stabilized but the Imperial Knights has already landed.

"What's th-" the words of Tarkin was cut off as majority of the officers aboard the command room had their blaster pistols unholstered and they're aiming it at them.

"You! What's the meaning of this?" questioned Tarkin as he looked at an officer with anger.

"Isn't obvious? We're hijacking this. Now raise your hands and put it at the back of your head." answered an officer as she fired at a nearby Imperial officer who moved slightly.

The sound of laser fire was heard as the laser bolt hit the Imperial officer's head, creating a disgusting hole in it.

The remaining Imperial loyalists immediately complied and just like that. The Death Star's high command was eliminated and the control of the whole star has transferred.

At this moment the female officer contacted the flagship of the Imperium fleet to announce their accomplishment and finally have the rest of the Imperial Knights land and firmly take over the Death Star.

...

"Arghhh..." Darth Vader struggled to escape the burning TIE advanced fighter as he observed his surroundings.

"H-huh?" Darth Vader saw hundreds of battleships floating dangerously close to the Death Star. But those ships are not Galactic Empire origin but Imperium.

The glorious golden insignia carved directly on the bows of each ship told him it is. Darth Vader might have fallen to the dark side but he still remembers all those times he got beaten to near death by agents of the Imperium.

First was when he and his wife tried to escape the rebellion on Naboo. He got beaten like a powerless kid. And the latest was 3 years ago where he got wrecked so bad he still has dreams of that battle with the woman.

"How and why are they here?" breathed Darth Vader as he looked at the distance where there are space marines stomping the heads of clones and other Imperial Death Star staff like it's nothing.

"Lord Vader! Lord Vader!" a clone rushed towards Darth Vader to try and help him stand up which Darth Vader gladly accepted.

"We need to escape Lord Vader! This place has fallen to the hands of the enemy!" urged the clone but before Vader can amswer or do anything a projectile flew towards the clone exploding upon contact as the clone was turned into blood mist which sprayed all over Darth Vader.

Vader just looked at the direction of the space marines and there he saw a space marine with a smoking firearm.

Darth Vader used the force to call upon his lightsaber as he decided to fight the space marine. He'll make sure that he'll kill them all.

Darth Vader suddenly moved in almost impossible to track speed as he intended to decapitate the space marine.

Blood spurted out as someone died...
