Same Song Different Verse

Chapter 15

It's the song that never ends….

The tall thin figure in slightly ragged clothes climbed the dune with her staff. The sun beat fiercely and the winds of Jakku whipped the sand about her legs up to her knees. She shielded her eyes and looked over the dunes. The small, odd, round droid rolled up behind her and let out a series of beeps and a blatt. She unwound the turban from over her face, leaned on her staff, and looked down at it. She smiled "Is that so BB?" BB was her astromech. It was from early in its production run and had come to her brand new. Designation BB 8. They had been together for a while. It had come with the T70 X wing she had been trained on, that had been assigned to her since. She had come to understand him. He did have a kind of harmonic to his voice that was not unpleasant.

"Beeep!"

She looked back along their trail at the line of padawans struggling along. Force Mage Master Rey Kenobi smiled "All right you lot, quickly now."

She turned and looked over the fields and droids stretching as far as the eye could see in front of her. Fortunately they were downwind. Jakku was still taking as much compost and concentrate as anyone was willing to ship. The native soil was after all, sand. That plus the contribution form the population inside the planet in the mined out passages and open spaces made the planet pretty fragrant.

The only problem was, not many of the worlds in the United Republic had spare compost and concentrate, as nearly all of them were shifting to the plants in the sun, people inside model. Even the oceans, for those that had them, were in some kind, or many kinds of, production, from mineral extraction, through alge and plankton farming then into large scale protein production. And of course Deuterium separation.

Here on Jakku the water facilities, Uncle Harry's rune driven caps on meter diameter pipes, were the only buildings on the surface. low buildings with a hundred meters of pipe sticking up, one for every thousand hectares. The caps were on top of the pipes and the water drove a generator turbine on its way to the crops. They were roofed with solar collectors which ran the pumps for the drip irrigation pipes, all recycled duraplast, they also housed the reactors and generators, on the off chance the sun never shined. Which on Jakku was an impossibility. There wasn't enough moisture to make clouds. The one area of natural desert remaining, a piece the size of Ireland on Earth, didn't normally produce the sandstorms that had savaged the people and animals of Jakku in the past. The generators powered the planetary grid as well, or sent excess power to the grid. Even with two thirds of the planet's surface in high production, a third in pastures, and this desert, and the mines under the surface hollowing out more space for more population, the place was still very dry. To dry to form clouds still. The dew in the mornings and evenings took care of that.

Padawan Isis Potter Farris, leader and best healer of her quintuple out of Farris, the former guard and now Force Mage, Shadow Master, Body Guard of the Queen of Naboo, and legendary figure of the Dread Lords court, or one of them, by Harry, The Dread Lord of the United Republic, the natural of that quintuple, stopped beside her Aunt, erh Master "I'm glad that's over."

Esme, Esmeralda Potter Greengrass, by Harry and Astoria and out of Farris, an elegant if somewhat awkwardly tall twelve year old and Isis's womb sister, shaping to be the strategist and tactician of that quintuple nodded "Not over until recovery is finished."

Johnny Potter Lester, By Harry and PFC Melinda Lester, Silver Star, US Army, out of Farris, the best shooter and slicer of the quintuple, spoke up "Recall sent. The Larty is dropping."

Arjun Potter Patil, By Harry and Parvati Patil, GCB, CGC, British Armed Forces, Auror Division, out of Farris scanned Rey "A little water Master." Arjun was good with explosives and ship weapons. Healing as well but not quite as good as his womb sister Isis.

Rey rolled her eyes "Healers. All the same. The babies and I are fine Padawan." Arjun was also the quintuples logistician and worry wart.

Rey's Knight, Macana out of Saber by Harry, gave her a look. Rey drank. Macana nodded "Good Master." The Padawans giggled.

Gwen Potter Davis, By Harry and Tracy, OoM2, British Ministry of Magic, out of Farris and the best swords woman of the quintuple while also being able to pull some of her fathers tricks and disappear in plain sight, making her the scout or spy, walked up last "Back trail clear. The Babies are more important than this training Master. You know we are ready for trials. Now we just have the years of experience to work in what the knowledge transfer crystals gave us, and get our physical conditioning up, leading to live missions, then a few years of those until the Knights trials. After that we will make our quintuples like all the other females."

Johnny and Arjun, the two males of this quintuple, intoned "Because the worlds need more people."

The girls looked at them and simultaneously said "Jinx."

Macana grinned "Jinx" She got narrowed eyes and the two boys laughing at the three narrow eyed girls. "Now Master, since we have quiet in the digi fruit gallery, what's next."

Rey sighed "Training. Gwen is right. You and I are still getting crystals too. They won't send us on missions as a team above our skill level. Robin watches and evaluates through the B7s, and both Grand Masters just know. Somehow these first order idiots are holding on though. Mostly out in the rogues, as there really isn't wild or unexplored space anymore.

There are populist nationalist in the Milky Way as well. Mostly they all ran off to planets in too small numbers to establish viable self-supporting populations, but they are out there. Slowly dying out.

Pirates in both galaxies, though fewer in the Milky Way. Plus, their heart doesn't seem in it, it seems more of a lark for them, that they then got trapped in.

Ignorance and prejudice everywhere. As Uncle Harry says, we will never be done with the ten percenters."

Macana smiled "Job Security honey." She said in a deep voice imitating her father.

Macana sighed as the Ranger squad and the B7s assigned to their unit of action moved up and took up an Israeli lager as they waited on the Larty. It was taking its time as this was neither a combat extraction nor an emergency, no use burn off the ablative shielding if they didn't have too. Rey looked at her "You have time to cook a quintuple."

Macana nodded "I know, mother has pointed it out, every day, for a month."

Rey smiled "Slungshot needs to get off the credit. Whole lots of pretty green Goblin all stacked up there."

Macana gasped "Master! Slungshot gets off or on the credit fine thank you very much. I have my heroes eggs lined up. All off the Clan Potters bequest, so Dad can fertilize them anytime. We just weren't sure about the timing and Slungshot is a bit busy being the Grand Master of the Force Mages Knight."

Isis waved at Rey and pointed up. Rey nodded "Snap. Combat recall, Palawan Potter, you are in charge." Isis nodded and took over. Rey and Macana stepped on the Larty ten seconds after it touched down. Isis and the other Padawans having force leapt to it and levitated the droids. The Rangers ran in backwards, collapsing the screen, and stepped on Force guided by the padawans and trusting them not to let them go wrong, as soon as the Larty touched sand, while the droids were in over watch five on each side. Rey levitated BB 8 aboard. Johnny told the droid Larty to execute from his wrist bracer. And it lifted hard. Not as hard as it could go but hard enough to make the humans flex their knees. Rey smiled "After being his first male padawan. Poor Slungshot. All that time in the henhouse."

Macana laughed "We didn't rough him up that bad. He had his own bedroom even. Never had to wake up with a face full of boobs."

Esme smirked "Until you decided he should anyway."

Harry sat out at his table. Sabine walked up and sat on him. The older children scowled and the younger ones grinned. Sabine stuck her tongue out at the older females and got gasp. Harry chuckled and put his hands on her swollen belly. They glowed slightly as he moved them around gently. Sabine sighed and leaned back on him "How can we help the Mand'alor today?" Harry asked.

Sabine sighed "Just this. Well, maybe killing most of the males on Mandalor."

Celeste conjured a rocker and sat. A B6 nanny handed her a baby. The elf of the pair stopped the five wide stroller and set its repulsars to rock back and forth gently. Its wards crackled a bit as a cloud of midge like insects found out about them. Celeste took the bottle from the elf as the Nanny droid scanned it. The B6's had micro reactors, fuel, and reaction mass caps, maneuvering thrusters, in case they were caught in zero G, medical, combat, astromech and educator cores, vibro blades and pulse rifles as powerful as clone war era quad cannons. The baby started suckling the bottle and Celeste sighed "I love these charms on the armor and these bottles. It was such a pain unlatching and dropping the breastplates before. Just as well we had to make pregnant breast plates. What have the idiots done now Sabine?"

Sabine snorted "They are rabble rousing about the Nightsisters again. I swear to the Force they have two track minds. Neither of which is eat or sex. They just want to fight and talk smack. They are all 'Darth Maul, creation of the Nightsisters, blah blah blah."

Harry chuckled. leaned forward and kissed her neck. "That Blue Ray going on the net was a mistake."

The Five Flowers as they were called, Daisey, Rose, Daffodil, Columbine and Calla, All by Harry and Fleur, Legion of Honor, French Ministry of Magic out of Gabrielle Potter Delacour gave simultaneous fist on developing hips and stamps of child size six feet "Papa!" The older females in the area snorted. Harry had a lapful of hot Mandalorian, how much sway did they imagine they had? Five Veela or not. They did love that movie though.

The Mandalorian in question gave them an arched brow and they scampered. Sabine would make them spar, and even pregnant she was hazardous. A bush burner, and they didn't have much of that to burn. Aunty Leia should not have taught them all that. Sabine looked at the padd she had taken from Harry "What the hell is this?"

Harry chuckled "Astromech entertainment. They play with runes in idle processor time. Now they have a link of some kind they are doing it over. It's like a super Astromech or something. They wring every possible erg out of everything but it has to be checked. Not sure why actually, but until Bars people get the Rune Masters to sign off on it he won't let the factories implement it. I get the ones that terrify everyone else. This one should make Luna's Avada Kedavera cannon a focused beam rather than an area weapon. Hmmm, switchable? Scalable? No able to focus at nearly any distance, line of sight or sensor. Wow that's good work."

Hermione blanched "We didn't build that thing! Well those two that I have to be in the loop to activate."

Harry shrugged "We could."

Hermione tapped her padd and the holo of a voluptuous woman of about thirty five, wearing a catsuit like T'pol or Seven of Nine, with obviously no underwear, appeared "Hermione?"

"Robin, Potter blood restrict all plans or documents relating to the AK cannon."

Robin, Republic One AI's name for the last few years, since it had leaked out that was what Harry called her, sighed "They are love. You know that. I don't know why that thing scares you so much. It will be mine if it ever gets built. It's a bit insulting you don't trust me by now love."

Hermione gave her a look "I trust you and your sisters in the other galaxies will do whatever you think necessary to protect Harry, us, and the children. To include killing the rest of the universe. Nothing we have found survives an AK. Even AI's and droids. You have control of the Forges now. You could whip up an AK Cannon in what, five minutes?"

Robin smiled "Aww. You do know we love you then. Less if we stopped all other production." Hermione huffed as the others chuckled. The wives and those with Master bedroom or vault after bedtime access grinned. Robin would hop in that pleasure droid body later and try to drive Hermione crazy again. One day Hermione's resolve would break and that body was going to get stress tested. By Harry too.

Sabine cleared her throat, "Nice distraction Harry. I was talking about this string here. Is this a ground, or obstruction, avoidance string for a hyperspace speed capable speeder bike?"

Harry tried his innocent face, but the boys crowding around and talking loudly and over the top of each other blew it. Harry pulled his head down in his shoulders. Apailana laughed "When we are out of eggs Harry, then you can go race in the Boonta Eve classic. I told you, all the other wives and mistresses agree. You are outvoted."

Harry pouted "I could so take the Hutt's for every credit they have."

Mace Windu arched a brow "Haven't you done that already."

Obi wan nodded "Three times if I recall."

"A bonding experience for our sons this is." A one hundred year old looking Yoda, all smooth, green, shiny, skin and muscles tossed in. Then he ducked feeling the glare from Yaddie. A pregnant, smoking hot, big busted, smooth skinned, filled out face, healthy deep green, Yaddie.

Nat popped up in a holo "What's this about a hyperspace capable bike? Lavender sent me a hmail."

Harry growled "Fracking rumor control. Faster than Luxa. What the hell?"

Luxa appeared with her nanny elf droid pair and a five wide. She was only cooking four hero eggs though, and those from the general contribution Gringotts had. This was her fifth set, the one she had on board. The Nanny droids were with sets one through three and set four was in the stroller. Her first born was in school. "Hey! Pregnant! It takes a minute to get up and moving with this crowd too. Now speeder bike development Dread Lord?" The hovercam over her shoulder turned from her best profile to Harry. Luxa flicked silencing charms at all the laughing beings around.

"Crowded. Even out here among the rogues. Damn Republic LEPs everywhere as well. Where they aren't, the damn Droid Army and Navy is. Or those fracking Jedi. We need a cargo for the Milky Way." The aging, scruffy, human with the low slung blaster said.

The Wookie sitting beside him woofed, barked and growled.

The human looked dismayed "Honest work?"

More woofs and growls

"Your mate? What mate?"

A long set of woofs growls barks and what might have been a whine.

"Contracted! When you were cubs, and she is at sexual maturity now? What the frack? Contracted? Is that even legal?"

Several minutes of woofs growls and barks.

"My Fracking ass! I'm contracted to a Selonian clan mother? From when? Oh I remember, but she was a little girl, cant have been more than a few years ago, she can't be grown up now, that was just playing and it got us out of those cells."

Two barks and a growl.

Han Solo opened his mouth and the holo chimed "Millennium Falcon, this is the CNS Dreadnought Executrix. You are being held in a tractor beam. Prepare to be boarded."

"Quick Chewy hide the… Hey wait a minute, we don't have any cargo." Han looked at the holo and blinked at the Selonian in Corellian Navy uniform.

Garm looked at Clynda "Pregnant? Again? Uh sorry, wonderful news. What did the girls say?"

Clynda glared "Nice catch, not. Now you owe me a spring maternity wardrobe. You know we need more people. The Yautja Bacta not only deages us it makes us fertile again. Price you pay. Look at Bail and Breha. They are on their eighth or ninth set."

Garm snorted "She is the Queen of Alderaan and nearly as rich as Harry. Plus, the Milky way pays a stipend for hero eggs brought to term as does the Force Galaxy for selected eggs now."

Clynda sniffed "Like you aren't rich, you skinflint. I'm still not sure about that selected egg deal. I mean, tested for mean capacity, physical, mental, and Force and then fertilized by more powerful sperm. That smacks of eugenics."

Garm looked at her "It is eugenics dear, but no one is stopping anyone from storing eggs and using them themselves. That ritual that was developed takes the eggs that would normally waste away and stores them in Stasis. She can have them back if she wants and it works the same for all sentients that produce eggs. They are left with the normal three to seven hundred thousand at the onset of puberty. They can do the other ritual then and it will collect all of those. Potter Medical made a fortune with that one. Unplanned pregnancy a thing of the past. You know Bars is single."

Clynda smirked "Not for long. Luxa has a cousin, the one that taught her high finance and economics. She just got decanted after three days in the Yautja Bacta and Bars is coming to dinner with her at Harry's tonight. They already have her hero eggs picked out. Thirty six of them."

Garm laughed and laughed.

Wilhuff Tarkin sat in his cell, wearing his grey coverall, with the armed B3 droid watching him. It was actually a decent cell, clean, warm enough, he had three meals a day and was given access to holo and a touch screen padd under some type of glass on the table made into the floor with the chair made into place at it, if he exercised. Documents appeared and he was both allowed read, and comment on them. The more he commented in a useful manner the more Holo channels he could receive for more hours. He liked the Chandrillan and Coruscanti classical music and opera channels. Oh he knew they were gaining useful intelligence from him, he was completely forthcoming and honest in both his comments, and if asked to do an appraisal. He however was not dead, had not been interrogated as he had expected to be, and the Dark Lord, that held these fools in the palms of his hands under some kind of delusion, didn't come and destroy his soul. They had lost. This was really more than he had expected.

The Republic Senate had not imposed the death penalty in most cases. The Dread Lord and Yoda had to agree to implement it even then. The Dread Lord at least killed those tried, and found guilty, in private, with an audience of observers from most species, in single combat, and with no cameras. His eyes weren't red either. All together, a different kind of Dark Lord.

Wilhuff laughed to himself, a kinder gentler, smarter Dark Lord, who had all of two galaxies at his feet, and didn't want them. He had to go lie down for a few minutes as tears streamed from his eyes. Fracking Dread Lord.

Mace, Nat, Harry and Bail stood watching as Yoda got out of the pack of a new quintuple Luke's latest former Padawan turned Knight was training up for him, or them rather to start taking on missions. Leia ran up with Ahsoka running beside her having done the crazy random seeming questioning of Leia's latest padawan turned Knights quintuple. "Where is Obi wan?" Mace looked around.

Harry chuckled "He answered a distress call from some itinerant trader, read smuggler, Han Solo. Apparently, he met him on Tatooine once. This Solo got himself contracted to a Selonian, she got tired of waiting, and sent a Dreadnought after him. Rey got drug in because she was coming off an exercise on Jakku with her quintuple." Harry shrugged.

Nat nodded "The quintuples need direct support artillery."

Bail looked at her "What is that? Harry is that a Russian thing? Everything can't be solved with artillery!"

Harry and Nat smiled at each other and turned to Bail and simultaneously said "Da? Name what can't." Then laughed as Mace chuckled. Bail glared. Nat finally caved "Fine. The do have the new support ships."

Bail nodded "Which have eight billion cannons and a trillion vulture droids."

Harry rolled his eyes "Do you even read the specs?"

Mace was chuckling "Yes, it just seems like that, as they can each apply the same amount of firepower as the empire home fleet could have. Even the B7s, ten of them together are worth a Clone legion. Not Stormtrooper, Clone. Now Harry, not to change the subject, but Rey as a Master? She made that young."

Nat huffed "Not this again. All the test, not most of them, all of them with perfect scores. Magic out the hoo hoo and occlumency barriers I can't break, and I can do everyone. Including Daphne. Harry doesn't count. Her mind palace is spotless. Only Harry can get in there."

Harry nodded and shrugged "She started before she could walk. We never restricted her at all, and taught her everything she could learn. I think she would have survived my youth."

Bail frowned "So a Dread Lady in the making?"

Nat laughed "Not immortal. At least not yet. Good though. She could go as a power hitter to an incursion, Her range is the same as mine and Harry's, she would maybe make the portal."

Mace frowned "And then be in single combat with a tier two. That procedure still needs refined."

Harry grunted "Not that she is ever going to get a chance for that, or anyone else is, if I can help it. I think she is one, or one of the ones, fate had something instore for. Me falling in that portal, well, it changed a lot of paths."

Mace nodded "Not least mine. Fine. If we have a pressing threat develop though, I am assigning her and her element to Adi Gallia."

Harry nodded "Thanks, Saber would kill me if something happened to Macana. Adi is my kind of Jedi, she doesn't take any crap from anyone. She believes in applying firepower. From the maximum range possible."

"If something happened before Macana and Slungshot got busy." Bail tossed in. The others nodded.

Nomis looked at Julia watching the four on the platform "Julia?"

"Sorry Master Nomis. Wool gathering." Julia looked back to their quintuple.

Nomis smiled "Worried about your sister. Its fine. We are on, uh, where the hell are we?"

"Bath, Somerset system, English sector capitol." Julia looked at her bracer. "Dad was feeling patriotic I guess."

"Or just ran out of names. Like that whole section of Force galaxy planet names with II after them, they did in the Milky Way."

"I should say something to Mother. We need names ready for the next Galaxy." Julia nodded firmly.

"In a month? The scout is just maneuvering for the dive into the core now." Nomis asked.

"Better late than never?" Julia shrugged a little.

Mon Mothma held one of her babies and smiled at the waving lekku. She fully embraced the effort to increase the population. If she was going to be pregnant with her and Obi wans child then she might as well share the space. That seemed a dominant opinion, at least on the women's channels. The Yautja Bacta had made her the best she could possibly be in an eight hour soak before her pregnancy and an hour after. The babies were fine. She had her elf, Nanny droid pair, in addition to her assigned pair of B6 body guards, who also had medical and nanny cores as standard because they might be needed, or the droids might have to have to guard a child, Naboo still elected Queens after all. Well they could. She had her assigned counselor as well, on guard against postpartum depression. Now if she just had her husband back! Oh, and her oldest daughter, who was pregnant as well.

Rey! Helping some scruffy nerf herder! While pregnant, and with her, barely out of the Academy quintuple, and Knight. Off with a squad of Rangers, ten B7s and an assault dreadnought! Force Mages! Worse than the Jedi ever were. Harry needed to keep her home and pin her to the mattress. Another Princess rather than Padawans. Obscenely powerful in the Force and with mind arts just like her uncle. How does that happen? She wasn't related to him in any way? "Thank you Nell." She took the tea from the elf and then gave her a bit of a glare.

Nell smiled "Missy Mon too excited is being."

"You have been watching Yoda's channel on the holo again."

"Yaddie's actually Missy Mon."

Mon huffed and sipped her tea "So what are we going to do about this latest idiocy in the senate Nell?"

"Senator Lizard should be careful. Master Dread Lord is happy, he doesn't bother anyone. He works hard. His ladies have plenty babies. Tickle sleeping dragons and Dread Lords one should not."

Mon chuckled "Wisdom this is. However the illustrious senator from Thisspias apparently has sand under his scales."

Nell frowned "Better than being a belt, or a handbag."

Mon nodded absently while calling on Borsk Fey'lya. Borsk sprang to life in the holo "Mon! What a pleasant surprise!"

"Don't be a nerf Borsk. I've been at this since before you were born."

"You wound me Mon. Besides you look about twenty since your after babies bath. How are the sprogs?"

Mon smiled "Right to the mother instincts eh? Well since that's the way you want to play, they are fine. The other children are excellent, aside from their oldest sister who is tied up with some nerf herding smuggler, and her father, enroute to Corellia."

Borsk laughed "Han Solo, and his partner Chewbacca. Yes. Apparently Solo agreed to marry some Selonian girl back when we were killing imperials, if she would let him and Chewbacca out of some cells the Corellians had him in for smuggling. Unknown to him she was the heiress of a clan mother, a rather important one, and had dreams of freedom. He thought nothing of it. She hung her life on it. She is now the clan mother and wants her life of adventure before she populates her clan for the next generation. At the same time, oddly, and without, as far as we can tell any collusion, Chewbacca's contracted mate has decided it is time to cook some Wookie cubs. And attempt a new record on repopulation. That last is a rumor, unconfirmed I am afraid, but her older sister carried eleven to term in one set."

Mon laughed "The population initiative has given you Bothan's a whole new entertainment hasn't it? I actually called about the Senator from Thisspias and his campaign to stop using the droids as the military. Thank you for settling my mind about Rey however. She and her father should be able to settle Mr. Solo."

Borsk shrugged "Easily. If it hadn't been for her being in the area when Solo called for Jedi Kenobi in that distress call, 'Help me Master Kenobi, you're my only hope!' she never would have ended up involved. You should really maneuver the Dread Lord into putting a ring on her."

"Through her nose more like. Miss independent. Running around fighting while pregnant, with my grandchildren! Unmarried!" Mon crossed her arms.

"It's those holos from the Milky Way. Between the operas and the angst ridden holo dramas…" Borsk left that hanging for a moment "Senator Osson, yes. Not the man his uncle was. You remember him, Master Ossos from the Jedi council. Died in the fight in the Senate. He thinks universal service would instill discipline in the youth. He wants to replace the droids with sentients."

"Well when sentients can handle weapons in the kiloton yield per shot range they might be able to compete. Up until then I don't really see it happening. The B7s are the firepower of the quintuples. The Jedi and Rangers are the specialist and sometimes actually fire their weapons. If all the droids are in a reboot cycle at once. Which has happened exactly one time, and then that possibility was written out of the code. Hermione was not pleased, Robin was apoplectic, half the design computers had their breakers tripped. Hermione's second Padawan nearly getting a boo boo from some transdoshian the girl skinned with her saber. Robin was going to pop all the design processors off their boards, Harry had to talk her down I heard. All the AI's in the Transdoshians employ had their processors popped anyway. Even Harry couldn't talk her out of that. Though he might not have tried to hard. They discovered the weakness and exploited it for their owners.

The Force Mages perform consular, shadow, healing, sentinel and all other functions. It really has evolved to the perfect small unit.

When they can't handle it Droid control ships come up out of standby, show up with B4s, B5s then B6s, Super dreadnoughts, Subjugators, all of that. Eventually the enemy breaks or the system they are in does and the recycle fleet moves in with medics and healers.

Meanwhile it all sits in space idle costing us maintenance fees and nothing else. The few remaining B2s were withdrawn and work on agricultural activities with the B3s replacing them as they are finally recycled after their cores are dumped, reviewed and the data compressed into mineral crystal storage.

Robin even has a plan to start using the idle four through sixes and their ships on planets, for a fee, in a dual lease arrangement with Military use having priority. as long as the Senate doesn't lose its mind and keeps up its payments. Hermione and Leia are negotiating those contracts."

Borsk sighed "I didn't say it made sense Mon, I just said that's what he wanted. The Transdoshians still can't hire AI's either. Those goblin guards running amok in their fleet and on their planet did not help. It will take them a thousand years to recover their population. After we get the goblins to stop killing them and wrecking their economy."

Mon narrowed her eyes "And frustration leads to stupidity. I think Master Morne should be made aware."

Borsk laughed "Tired of Osson already? You know Celeste can find something to kill anyone over. If she can't Arden or Gabrielle can. Perhaps we should ask Luna-"

Luna appeared in a holo "No he is good. He won't get carried away and have to be fireballed. First Solo has to show us the Utegetu nebula so we can sew the Killik up in there and we have to dig those nest under the Royal lands of Alderaan out and move those Killik to the nebula."

Mon and Borsk blinked. Mon finally managed "Will we never see an end to this kind of thing?"

Luna shrugged then grinned "Keeps us busy, people say we can't have sex all the time."

"Luna!" was shouted from off holo and Luna scampered before Hermione appeared heavily pregnant and walking fast after her.

Stella Potter Lovegood, thirteen and the current in charge Potter Daughter on Republic One appeared "Sorry. Hi Aunty Mon. OK Later." The holo disconnected.

Borsk pinched the bridge of his nose "It so takes the fun out of it when Master Luna can just do, that!"

Mon smirked "Fracking Dread Lord."

"Quite."

Sabine sat in the Senate with Harry. Everyone else was busy getting four thousand exploitation super Lucrehulks inspected, their shrunken cargo and droids loaded and their twenty five thousand colonist loaded and signed to the ward books. "Could have done without the Killiks right on top of the new galaxy colonization."

Harry smiled and shrugged "It's always something. What did the troopers used to say? An opportunity to excel!"

Sabine hoisted a brow "I prefer the Marine advice, embrace the suck."

Harry laughed and Nat, chairing this session of the joint Senate eyed them "If Mandalor is through with the Dread Lord, there is a question?"

Harry nodded "Fine with me. Make it like Rome. They can't be citizens until they serve twenty years. I have things for the droids to do. A whole new Galaxy to explore. Fun places to go visit. Mines, farms, new worlds! There is this water fall on Nell seven that is four kilometers tall! A whole ocean falls across it."

Osson blinked as the Senate to a Senator turned and glared at him "Uh, no need to be hasty Dread Lord."

Harry slumped "So you've changed your mind? Really? Come on, help a brother out. In five years the next Galaxy will be ready for colonist. I think I need some stability in my contractual responsibilities here. I literally have trillions of systems to plan for. Most of them in Galaxies that need help recovering from the Predator Xenomorph wars. Nearly as much help as Earth and the Core did."

Yoda spoke up from his hover office "Yes. The Order would like this as well. Academy vessels we must prepare for the colony worlds. The spread of the known races we must see to. The integration of the new races. Preservation of the knowledge of these new galaxies. Integration of the Senates as stand up they do. The Portals, blessing and curse they are. Instantaneous transport between the worlds and galaxies, so much to do."

Apailana nodded "Moving the galactic avatar ships of doors into position over the worm hole entrances simply made it faster. Now you can walk from Naboo to New Naboo to Naboo one and then Naboo Two in moments. The new ship for the Naboo sector in Galaxy three is already waiting to make the transit to the Galaxy Three worm circle entrance." Her oldest daughter HRH Princess Padme sat with her mother in her knights robes and armor nodding.

Osson, who's robes were literally smoking from the glares he was getting, hastily said "Thisspias withdraws its question!" and sat.

Sa'James watching on the conference deck of Republic One chuckled. Dad hadn't intended that at all. He had in fact intended to pull the droids to Galaxy Three. He frowned. That needed a better name. They would have to find live inhabitants and find out what they called it. Sirius'Po looked at him in the Holo from the Conference deck of his control sphere grounded on HowLong in the Australian sector of the Force Galaxy "Mum Daphne will be laughing at Da again."

James nodded "It never goes quite the way he intends."

Sirius nodded "He never hints around about it or tries to manipulate. He just says what he wants. Scares people."

Miriam Greengrass Potter popped up in a holo "Potter boy conference?"

"Yes, us thirty year old boys." James smiled.

Miriam rolled her eyes "Talk to me when you are a million James. We lost Superior Bottom."

"No way! Stand up and turn around!"

"Sirius! I'm your sister! Perv. Thanks though. No the star went nova."

James nodded frowning "It was an old dwarf. When it recedes we will see if those wards really work."

"Or we could send a frigate. That one flew through a nova before." Miriam offered excitedly.

James narrowed his eyes "What have you and the other ward mistresses cooked up and slid past Da now Miriam? There were only droids mining and terraforming it." He had pulled it up on his padd.

"You got that energy converter string to function didn't you?" Sirius sat up excitedly in his holo.

Miriam eyed him "So that droid of Luxum's hasn't fucked your brains out and you do listen to her? I'll have to let her know."

Sirius sat back "Well I wouldn't say it didn't, but I do listen to her. Now how far have you gotten on the artificial wombs. She wants to build a quintuple or ten."

Charlotte Delacour Potter popped up "Nearly there. Fifth iteration of Varna testing done and primate testing underway. Hold your horse's daddy. We want to be sure before we risk a hero's eggs. You know this, Cilghal is in your bed with Luxum most nights isn't she?"

"More successful on the sex until brain damage occurs than we thought then." James laughed.

Miriam gasped "Does Master Billaba know you are having colorful conversations James?"

Depa walked into James Holo and sat in his lap, looking about thirty from her pre natal hour soak in the Yautja Bacta "Yes she does. Stop being mean Miriam. So it took me a while. Some of us are late bloomers. And leave Sirius, Luxum, and Cilghal alone."

Miriam smiled at her "Depa. How is the heir apparent treating you?"

Depa frowned "I haven't spoken to Rey."

Charlotte laughed brightly "And isn't with Master Skywalker" She imitated in a calm firm voice "he is pretty angry about it."

Sirius growled "He is going to cause a schism."

Luxum walked up, somehow sat, while maneuvering Sirius onto her lap and chuckled "One man going his own way is not a schism. He is wary of the dark from his father's experience. He doesn't then deal with it well. Master Mara will keep him straight."

Miriam shrugged "Or Mum will catch him when he falls. If Aunt Leia doesn't chop him to pieces."

James nodded "Speaking of which and since we are having a family conference apparently, how do we feel about dad taking on these Padawans?"

Julia chuckled "Jyn Erso Mothma Kenobi still freaking you out James?"

James nodded "Straight in the Shadows with that one. Of course she had to end up with Celeste. One look at her and you know she is going to stay a clanswoman. Aunty Mon and Uncle Obi's crush on Dad I think. Plus her egg mother was a bit different from the histories."

"Are we talking as Padawans, or as mistresses when they make Knight? Wives sometimes as well, depending on their culture." Julia Potter Granger asked as she came fully up from lurking. "Fine, either way actually. The mums are still collecting him and he has about five million hero's eggs to get through yet. Now heroes from the Force galaxy as well. Who knows how many request from citizens. Plus, the Padawans don't all stay. In fact the last one that did was Rey. The rest put themselves on the list for fertilization for their stored eggs. You know to be a Padawans of the Dread Lord you have to be really powerful and really good, in addition to a genius. Improves the species really."

Miriam nodded "All of them. Speaking of the plan, all you boys need collected too. Don't stop just because women finally lost their minds and took you on to make better." She got a round of boos from the holotank. Followed by feminine laughter.

Orion Tonks Potter got them all focused and going around the group talking about their latest projects.

SSDV

Luna was standing at the holotank in the apartment on Lockjaw, in the Mute sector of Galaxy Three. The current Potter project world. They were planting and placing everything force sensitive that could tolerate its environment, twenty five thousand mixed colonist and an exploitation super Lucrehulk to go along with that. Lockjaw sang in the force like Felucia and Dagobah, they were going to link the book of names for this galaxy to it as well. Hermione walked up silently. "What are you and Robin doing Luna?"

Luna smiled "Morning? Aayla's new quintuple wake you up? Retiming some scouts. The new scout gate boats are much faster stripped to engineering plant, engines and gate installation fixtures like they are. Pigs in atmosphere of course but 0.001 hyperspace. Wicked quick. The Yautja hunting pair boats are the only thing faster. We want them set in position every twenty five years or so remember? Five every five years from everyone capable of cooking them backing up the artificial wombs gives us a hundred million for each new galaxy. A good initial seeding for four thousand sectors."

Hermione blinked "If the gate boats hit something at that speed we are going to have another big bang." Luna smiled and made an explosion noise and motion with her hands. Hermione rolled her eyes. "Good back fill for all the galaxies too. Bars even stopped bitching about sentient shortages since the Kamimoans took over growing babies. It's so odd how hyperspace and the technology in these galaxies are so integrated with the Force and susceptible to magical manipulation and improvement." She tapped the Force Galaxy inset and waved at the unnamed others.

"Galaxy three through seven too. Proves that force user war in the Milky Way theory of Jocasta's." Luna nodded. "Sort of. I think what really happened is more Yoda being correct. The Force user war in the Milky Way killed off most everything. The Force was then lessened. Then it got into a death spiral. I'm not sure earth would have made it without Harry's vacation. Anecdotal accounts have the first hyperspace travelers being Force sensitive. Maybe it takes the Force to make it work? Not to change the subject, but the readings in the Milky Way are coming up, the Force readings, as we get more and more beings and species there. Did you know the mass of dark matter is decreasing?"

Hermione giggled "That is what woke me up. Jocasta trying to be immortal by injection again, while increasing the number of sentient. Like the Yautja Bacta isn't the elixir of life without the sterilization penalty."

"Which is really weird because it shouldn't work that way at all. It's all the cord blood from all those mixed Force Galaxy species I'm sure." Luna added.

Hermione shook her head "Its Harry's sperm in the mix to make the stone. Immortal Master of Death bukkake."

Arden walked up "Eww! Not this argument again. I need caf first. Ten milliliters of sperm in a cubic meter of solution reduced to a stone by boiling it and metric ton of platinum in a plasma flask does not bukkake make Hermione. Wow! How the frack did those gate boats get there? Holy Force. Don't let Harry see that, he will do it to a speeder bike. Good thing the buoys are shrunk near microscopic and that launcher goes fifteen hundred rounds a minute."

Gabrielle stepped from the shadows "We have his cells. We can clone him a new body. You all worry too much. Those buoys being SoD Xs with SAAR facilities and uprated sensors is great though. Fifteen hundred a minute puts them sensor range apart so we get a little overlap. That extra Forge in Galaxy four making the gate boats and those worked out."

Celeste laughed as she walked in "Like he can be killed anyway. If that Galaxy Five basilisk swallowing him, and him cutting his way out with his sabers, didn't nothing will. Jocasta is getting louder."

Luna nodded vigorously "Growing his skin back in the bacta was fun. Well after, when we all left in the Marauder."

Roganda shook her head "We cannot all be pregnant at the same time ever again. I hate peanut butter too. What the hell is that about? What if I was allergic?"

Shaak walked in frowning. Aayla, walking with her, looked at her "OK tired of this, out with it."

Shaak sighed "The goblins finally got Diagon Alley Gringotts cleared and safe to enter. The upper levels. They got to the Tonks vault. Andromeda and Teds gametes are in storage and viable."

Maris mouth dropped open then snapped closed. Nomis beat her to the punch "I want a Nymphadora." Maris glared at her. She looked around and the others were all nodding their heads.

Roganda laughed "Half at a time, at the most, we just talked about this. Besides Harry will kill us if they all decide they want him like their sister did."

Tis'wedu shook her head "Like they will want anyone else. Where is Hela? Hey Leia, what the hell is with that Solo guy?" Hela was a Dora, Harry daughter. She had a huge Electra complex. She couldn't sleep in the master because one of the moms was with Harry every night. She knew it, the mums knew it, all her half brothers and sister knew it and Harry knew it. They all spent some time sorting the males in the galaxies for her a husband everyday. Except Hela. She was happy being around Harry.

Leia rolled her eyes "Like I know? First he is an idiot with the morals of a Hutt, and second, no, just no. Even if I wasn't with Harry. I would get a geneticist to modify a set of eggs and do Luke first. I can't help he keeps leaving holo messages. I sent him a howler and talked to the clan mother who owns him. She thinks it's funny. The old Perv. Hela is teaching in the academy on Earth. Don't you talk to the young women that come leap in our bed after they jump back out?"

"Jania Solo is a powerful Force sensitive." Harry said. The Potter women jumped then turned and glared at him.

Arden recovered first "Jocasta need a break? Jacen is full on dark and will have to be watched carefully."

Daphne nodded "Won't matter with him I think, but we could get a few years out of him, before he ends up on a confinement hulk in suppressor bands."

Harry tapped his chin "How about I shrink a active sponge and make it a necklace, and we give it to him in some big ceremony. I know Mace is watching him too."

Maar Li giggled "Mace is going to be so pissed 'never thought of it before really, just ask if you need something Mace.' Let's do it today!"

Rey wandered in "Wow, mean much Maar? Wives meeting?" Arden cleared her throat. "Lovers meeting then?" Harry laughed.

SSDV

Rey stood at the edge of the crater with her new Knight and a new quintuple. Master Macana Potter stood near them with hers. Knight Isis Farris and her Knight womb brothers and sister stood with their five Padawan apiece.

Maris Potter Brood, the Master of their assault ship was down in the crater in the first ring of security. The Dread Lord, Dark Ladies Daphne, Arden, and Master of the Shadow Council, Celeste Potter Morne, were in the inner circle with the leaders of the first order. Questioning them.

Leia Skywalker Potter Organa walked up. Rey could sense her inner turmoil. "Leia?"

Leia looked up, around at the group, and then at Rey "In a path Master Lovegood saw and wrote down, before the original wives were pulled here, Ben Solo was my son."

Maris frowned "With Jania and Jacen? Instead of them?"

Leia shrugged "I had to stop reading."

Gwen Davis nodded "Married to Han Solo? Who could read that!"

Leia smiled at her sadly "Thanks. It doesn't help much. Knowing what Harry is going to do and how stubborn Ben will be even if he is, or perhaps because he is, a bastard of Han Solo's."

Johnny shrugged "On him really. Dad ran this like a demon campaign. We have all of the first order besides Snope. They can give him up or hang onto this idiot dream. Turning the planet into a weapon kind of turned Dad sour on them though. Stay on your planet and kill each other all you want. Go offensive and pow, Dread Lord."

Rey laughed "Pow, Dread lord. Where do you kids come up with this stuff."

Esme waved all that off "Bother all that. Jacen and the Hapes princess?"

Macana rolled her eyes "Worse than Master Skywalker, erh the male, Mara at least got him beat into some kind of shape. That Hapan princess is going to have to try harder with Jacen. Even with that stone he has delusions of grandeur. Twins for the sake of the Force. How does he get the idea that he is the most powerful force user when Jania is kicking his ass sparring all the damn time. Luke could do it too if he wasn't busy being all calm and shit. Lets not even talk about Harry or any of the other Masters of that era.

Maris smirked "Jania is just trying to impress your father."

Isis Potter Farris faked retching "He's like a billion years old!" Rey glared at her and tapped an armored boot. "Which is fine for you Master Kenobi." The older ladies chuckled and then winced at the screaming.

"Hux." Macana supplied "Skinned him. Harry loves that charm of Lavenders."

Down in the crater, Daphne in just her second skin of armor body suit, eased up on the petrified form of Ben Solo "You see Ben, May I call you Ben? Do you prefer Kylo?" Ben nodded and shook his head "Ben then, you see Ben, the Dread Lord doesn't care one way or the other. You are caught between a want to be Dark Lord and, well that." She nodded to Harry slowly moving a hand a millimeter above Hux's exposed nerve endings. "We will find Snope, when we do, he will tell us all his little secrets. We haven't aged a day in nearly a hundred years. We can wait. Meanwhile you have fomented an armed rebellion. We don't like that. Now the way to save yourself, and that pretty face and hair of yours, is to tell us what we want to know. Otherwise, well, there is really no healing back like you were after having your skin removed like that."

Daphne leaned back grinning as Ben Solo's eyes tracked to her chest. She chuckled throatily and unpetrified him. He slumped in his chains and then gathered himself "I will tell-"

"Me everything," Arden said as she stepped in front of him, caught his eye, and dove in his mind.

Celeste put the vial of veritasserum away "OK, that's another way." Daphne pouted at her. She rolled her eyes.

SSDV

Luna watched the two man skiff approach and got it lined up in the sites. She reached over and took up the control and pulled the trigger. A cloud of plasma continued on a straight line course missing the entrance to the traffic control pattern for the worm hole. She nodded "Test passed I think."

Hermione burst into the small control room for the AK cannon "What did you do?"

Luna looked at her wide eyed "Testing?"

Aayla walked in and chivvied them both out and to the portal to Rey's assault ship "It was Snope Hermione. We have other things to do besides chase that idiot all over the place."

Apailana nodded, stepping from a side corridor "Yes, like talk about the campaign to let me retire."

Hermione snorted "Padme ready to be Queen?"

Padme blinked "What? No! Besides it doesn't work like that. They elect the Queen. I won't run." The group, along with their Knights and Padawans stopped and looked at her. She sighed. "Mom, you can't dump this on me! I just got Jo'han Windu where I want him!"

Celene laughed "Is that what we are calling it. That isn't very much of a euphemism."

Padme brightened "I don't have guards, or doubles, or ladies in waiting, none of that."

Celene nodded "Bit of a problem, but well, I'm sure they will find some. I was just minding my own business and bam, you're a double now."

"MOM!"

SSDV

Han looked at the notice of the son he barely knew of being arrested and the number of the confinement hulk he was on.

A long, shiny furred, well formed limb reached across his chest and a pair of warm fur covered breast snuggled into his back "A boy I hardly knew about. I tried to talk to him."

"I know love. He was lost to us and we couldn't even bring him and his mother in. I'll have the diplomats make some enquiries. We will see he is as comfortable as he can be, under Republic law. At least the Dread Lord did not skin him." The Clan mother offered. Han nodded and closed the terminal. The clan mother smiled, she didn't add, and send Lady Daphne something nice for removing that threat to my children. At least out loud.

SSDV

Wedge Antilles, Biggs Darklighter and Po Dameron stood in the bar. Biggs was moving a little strangely. Poe looked at him "What is wrong with you?"

Biggs sighed "Prosthetics going again."

Wedge rolled his eyes "You know they can regrow arms and legs. You wouldn't have to give up your calibrated droid ocular sensor unless you wanted to."

"I heard stories, they get you in the med bay, forget, and replace everything." Biggs shrugged and took a drink. Wedge and Po looked at each other.

Po smiled "Another round Finn. You know Biggs, we can easily blind you again. Just in the one eye of course, if they do."

Finn poured and shook his head. Rescued from the first order. He hadn't wanted to stay in the military, but this bar, that was just close enough wasn't it. And he got a free billet on this assault transport. And no waste processing! These pilots were hilarious too. Ranger and Marine club of course. The fleet used Vulture droid Mark thirty mod sevens in front line service now. The Organics commanded legions of them "Did you hear there are sentient races in Galaxy fourteen." The pilots all turned to him "Master Kenobi and Skywalker went to talk to them."

Biggs grunted "If it was the male Skywalker we might get some action. Though Kenobi, well I guess its to much to hope for. Hey did I ever tell you about that cockpit rupture before that portkey snatched me away? The one that cost me my last real extremity?"

Finn laughed "Save it for when the ladies are here Darklighter."

SSDV

Mara Looked at Luke in their stateroom, she rolled her eyes "What now."

Luke sighed "Somehow it feels as if I was meant for more than this."

Mara snorted "You wrote those Force visions down, I'm glad we aren't living that large. All those younglings dead all the time. Just be happy the Dread Lord is the bogey man in everyone's closet. Him popping out of one and skinning some idiot live and in color on the holonet keeps the idiocy down. Besides Luna says those are visions from the path we didn't take."

Luke nodded and moved to the bed "The one the Dread Lord forced us out of."

"Your uncle Harry never forced anyone out of anything. He does what he does and you either like it, or don't. If you don't, and aren't good enough, you are the example for the next generations of how not to do it. That was the Force, I keep telling you all." Mara told him firmly.

SSDV

Harry squatted by the dagger. It was one of hundreds of thousands of like weapons on this planet. Gringotts, Earth, having been completely cleaned of these type weapons. "Go on back to the ship Slungshot. I have it."

Slungshot looked at him "Just one. Your daughter and her mother will gut me otherwise." He spun and disappeared.

Harry chuckled and pulled the dagger. The white haired, black skinned, green eyed, voluptuous woman that appeared looked him up and down. She said something firmly and held out a hand. Harry put a flip book in it. She blinked.

On the control sphere Aayla nodded "That's what got me."

Hermione blushed "We were sitting watching Fantasia after I made one for him. I had a tape of the soundtrack I had synched the book too. I knew then. We were just starting university. Things hadn't gone at all the way we expected after the war with the blood purist."

Luna shrugged "If it aint broke don't fix it. Still gets him laid." She was looking in the holotank.

Hermione sighed "Luna." Then she looked in the tank and spluttered. The female Drow had taken Harry to the ground, They weren't fighting, well not exactly. Harry appeared to be trying to get away though. The wives all started chuckling and shouting encouragement to their new team member. The daughters fled.

SSDV

"Ania Solo." Leia pinched the bridge of her nose.

Aayla rubbed her back in a comforting way "Well she is a little old but we've found her now. Orion'sa James son has her with his knight and their quintuple. She did manage to kill that wannabe dark lord. It will be fine."

Leia glared at her "Another of Han Solo's children, or is it grandchildren by now, he scattered over the galaxy, but it will be fine? I need Harry to go back in time and retroactively sterilize Solo."

Shaak tapped her chin "You know, they all have the force, and not a little either. We should round them all up, make them a clan."

Leia shook her head "Oh hell no! Then I would somehow be made the Matriarch and I am not related to them, despite everytime one gets in trouble, I end up involved somehow."

Apailana shrugged "The Force trying to tell you something?"

"Just because I was with Harry when it was your turn last week! You were on Naboo!" Leia looked at her with her lip trembling.

Apailana blinked "What? Oh no that isn't what I meant at all. I meant maybe they need your guidance. Not you should be with Solo, yuck, can you imagine?"

Daphne huffed "Hey! My clan mother loves him!"

SSDV

Xoxaan looked at Jedi Master A'sharad Hett "You are dark."

A'sharad nodded "There is much pain in the universe. I have seen a lot of it. My tendency was toward darkness. My life to now reinforced and brought that out. We accept our darkness, The Dark Lady teaches us how to use it."

"So what is it you wish from me Master Hett?" The holocron of the dark lady asked.

A'sharad smiled "The Universe is wide and deep Lady Xoxaan. We have need of knowledge. All of the sith artifacts are studied, and a determination made before, their disposition is decided. The dark Masters make the recommendation to Lady Daphne. I was chosen to evaluate your holocron."

Xoxaan narrowed her eyes "When you say determination, what exactly does that mean?"

A'sharad shrugged "The Dread Lord has proven that holocrons are almost soul jars, the sith ones especially, depending on your abilities and how much of your soul remains we could attempt a body, either droid, or organic, for you. Or you could be sent back to the Force."

Xoxann nodded "And if instead I take you?"

A'sharad shrugged "Several have tried. I will be interviewed by the Dark Lady after leaving this planet. She will know and will deal with you, perhaps saving me."

Xoxaan thought a moment "Tell me about this new galaxy."

SSDV

Zenoma Sekot watched her infestation thrive and was happy. They were industrious these tiny organics. Connected to her as well, and solicitous of her welfare. Now how could she help them, she had already combined all their best traits into a race that could thrive on her or in space. Perhaps leave them alone and watch, guarding them. She should petition the senate for new planets in the other galaxies to expand her children too. Master Hermione would help.

SSDV

Harry looked up from his favorite seat on the Marauders bridge. He finally had his dream. Him and the girls out seeing the sights. Of course, the Marauder being slotted into its berth on the super lucrehulk battleship hull and locked in docking clamps wasn't exactly what he had in mind but, still it was just them, on the Marauder anyway. "Second Galaxy to the right and on 'til morning 'Soka."

Ahsoka Potter Tano smiled and pulled the hyper drive control down to the maximum. They could make galaxy forty one by morning. This fracking thing was the fastest hunk of junk in all the galaxies. Best armed, and armored, as well.

Star wars theme, fade to hyperspace lines, then black. Star wars theme fades Background music comes up "Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide,
No escape from reality..."

SSDV ends above. the next eight or nine thousand words are how it came to exist.

AN: below is the story I was writing when I read Plums excellent story, Last Second Savior, and, well, eight of the preceding chapters flowed out, whole cloth. I had originally intended to just post them using Plums original nine as my lead. He/she didn't want that when I asked. So I went back and redid theirs while twisting it to better fit mine. I had used up theirs by the middle of my chapter six.

If anyone does that to this one I would recommend you stay with the pre Disney canon fucking of the SW universe canon, a rich and varied tapestry of thousands of years of history, now considered legend by people with mouse ears on their heads, and dollar signs in their eyes like Scrooge McDuck.

I would also appreciate a heads up and maybe a chance to comment on your piece of this yarn, SSDV or Rage, before you post it.

I think I saw another piece titled Rage on someone's favorites page. I have not read that, and this has nothing to do with it. other than maybe stealing the lines from Dylan Thomas.

Rage

Imperial Inquisitor Le'drang looked at the body they had picked up from space. From space! An apparent humanoid in perfect condition. Picked from an orbit around a yellow dwarf at the edge of the galaxy, where the disturbance in the Force had led them, a very young yellow dwarf. In the appropriate orbit for humanoid, carbon based, life, amidst a debris field, but still. One meter eighty-five, at the most two meters tall and ninety to a hundred kilos. All arranged in a very pleasing way. She shook her head, a complete blank in the force, so not a Jedi or a Sith. Just an oddity.

"Put him in a cell, and we'll drop him off at the Imperial science academy. Let's get back to our real job. Set course for the nearest suspected Jedi location." She left to her underway cabin in the Venator class star destroyer. The Inquisition had taken great pleasure in taking the Jedi Order to pieces and the job wasn't finished quite yet.

Somehow no one commented on the absurdity of putting a frozen body in a cell. It never even occurred to them.

Ahsoka Tano watched from across the hall as the body was dumped in the cell across from her. The years since leaving the Jedi order had not been kind to her. Kinder than they had to the Order, with most of the Jedi killed but, still not kind, and now she was a prisoner for being a Jedi. She chuckled darkly. A mistake from her infancy, that she had no control over, being revisited on her again and again.

She had managed to survive though. No mean feat. She had even done damage to the empire at every opportunity. Why? Because the fucks simply would not leave her the fuck alone. Some of those Jedi had been her friends though, once upon a time, and the Order was as close to family as she had. Maybe in retrospect she would appear as a Jedi. Now the empire was hunting down her family though. She nodded to herself. They would make a mistake, she could wait.

Oh wait, he moved.

Harry's eyes opened. He took in the metal walls in the dim light and snorted. So, another go then. It had been time. All his relatives had passed on again. Well any closer than six generations to him. He had been growing a bit bored. He only had the one purpose after all. Once he was successful, he got his reward of a good long life, with plenty of wine, women, and song, before he went into that long night, again, and then was jerked back into the light, again, normally screaming and clawing. But he always ended up in the same place, the dark emptiness.

"Phhht which always lasted until I opened my eyes again in some new place." Harry said aloud. He frowned. What the hell, why was he so stiff?

Ahsoka blinked as the young woman appeared astride the body. She was in a thin shirt and pants, and had a collar with an attachment dangling from the front, she had some kind of facial tattoo around one eye. She had some kind of heavy boots on her feet. Grav boots maybe? She started as the young woman looked at her with jade green eyes and winked, then looked down at the man, and pinched him in a sensitive place of his upper anatomy with both hands. Ahsoka covered her nipples in sympathy as the male yelled, and sat up, and the woman hopped up laughing.

"Death! Bloody Hell! Fucking Witch!" Harry glared at her.

Death snickered "Come on Master. Lots of work in this reality. Time to get busy."

Harry glared "Is this another Mad Titan deal? If so I get all the red heads again. Widow, Thirteen, Jean Grey and Siryn as sweeteners too. I hate that purple fucker. Cylon six and eight too gods damnit! And you."

Death sighed "No teasing Master, this is even better! High technology, evil fucks all over. Hundreds of species of intelligent life, most of them evil, and almost no magic users. Well, not at your level. They have combined magic and technology more than any other we have visited though."

Harry sighed and slid himself so his back was against the wall. "So, worse for me."

Death pouted "Come on sweetie, you know that just makes the rewards better." She nodded to the opening in the wall.

Ahsoka frowned trying to puzzle out the language the two were speaking. She focused on the two pairs of glowing, jade green, eyes staring at her and snatched her hands away from her chest. That didn't help as the band she had been given was as thin as any she had ever worn and her nipples would cut transparisteel right now.

Harry snorted "Horns, and is that hair? Tentacles? Nice body though, fit. Red skin? Are those white marks tattoos? OK, fine."

Harry stood up and paced the small cell for a minute. "Why am I so stiff?"

Death flushed a bit, which was so unusual it brought Harry to a halt. "Well Earth isn't formed yet in this one so you were kinda in space."

Harry sighed "Kinda? How are you kinda in space? Wait, am I on a ship? How the fuck am I supposed to drive this thing?"

Death smirked "Reach out with your feelings Luke."

Harry blinked "You didn't!"

Death shrugged "Maybe Lucas was a seer, or a past viewer, or something."

"Or your fuck relatives created this fucking reality, after watching the movies, or reading the fucking books, or some shit. Again! Fuck! Fine, but the elf chicks better be hot and love to suck cock like in the last one. None of those fucking complicated 'I was in love with a dwarf who died' fucking tragic fucking stories either. I don't want to wait a thousand years while she gets over her broken heart. If that shit happens I am butt fucking all three of fates aspects to death."

Ahsoka giggled at the cursing coming from across the hall. It had to be cursing. The male was turning colors and the female was doing the toe digging in the ground thing. When she wasn't covering her mouth and giggling behind his back as he paced.

Harry continued "Fucking monkeys and their fucking typewriters. Why couldn't it be Seven of Nine again. She fucks like a beast! T'pol is too damn complicated, and as for Baldies Enterprise, none of those bitches were a good fuck. At least not on the boat, and Riker was so fucking smarmy he made me want to shoot him in the face every time I looked at his retarded ass. That fucking space station was full of hot pussy though. Those Bajorans too. Man did those girls love to fuck. Come to think of it Romulans made up for Vulcans. Well, them and Klingons. OK fine. Its killing time."

Harry stopped, looked at the door, wandlessly and silently, cast an unlocking charm. The lit ribbon around the door sparked and died. He stepped in the hall, cast on Ahsoka's cell then went down the hall casting on all the cells. Ahsoka followed.

The others in the cells froze for a moment, then when the young Togrutan female walked past they eased into the hall, and then followed.

Harry came to an open area and glared around, then waved. The members of the Inquisitorius present dropped like puppets with their strings cut. Ahsoka grew a bit concerned. She followed as Harry made his way through the ship, and the death toll grew. She finally found a protocol droid and grabbed Harry. "Ahsoka Tano." She pointed to herself. She pointed to the droid and read it's painted on designation "D four H three." She arched a brow at him.

Harry sighed "Harry Potter."

D four took over and Ahsoka defended them in the alcove with the blaster she had picked up. The others from the cells were doing the same thing. Ahsoka noticed quite a few of them were Padawans. Other members of various non empire groups and two were Knights unless she was mistaken.

Harry looked at the robot and repeated "I am Harry Potter." The robot mimicked him "I am D Four H three."

Harry nodded and pointed at Ahsoka "Alien." Then at himself "Human."

D four nodded "Human, Togrutan." It pointed at Harry then Ahsoka.

Ahsoka got nervous as a big push from the Inquisitus came and Harry looked up and waved. Ahsoka glared at him "Stop killing everyone."

Harry rolled his eyes and went back to pointing at things and telling the robot what they were. The group got pushed back closer to Harry and his waves got more frequent.

D four finally told Ahsoka "I am able to communicate with this being in a rudimentary manner."

Ahsoka nodded "Stop killing everyone." D four went straight to translation mode. The principles talked and it translated.

"I'm not killing everyone. These are evil or bad, difficult concept expressed poorly."

Ahsoka sighed "How do you know?"

"I read their minds. Not actually however an equivalent."

Ahsoka blinked "You're Jedi? Where did the girl go?"

"No, I'm untranslatable nonsensical construct. She'll be back, usually at the worst time possible. Can you operate this vessel?"

Ahsoka nodded "Yes, we have to get to the bridge."

"Lead on my Lady."

Ahsoka looked at the droid then Harry. "Fine, come on." She took off toward the lifts to the bridge. She had served on these vessels, she knew the way.

Their pace was somewhat slow because of the droid, but Ahsoka was actually grateful. It let her coordinate their group, and kept the male from just killing everyone out of hand, as he apparently could, and was happy to. He also healed quite a few of them and shielded them from attacks. The ones he didn't kill joined them. Ahsoka was wary of this but a lot of people were pressed into service by the Empire.

They stepped off the lift and Ahsoka rolled to the side at the snap hiss of the lightsaber. She and everyone else froze at the sight of the male, Ha'rry was his name, Ha'rry holding the red blade of the Sith light saber and grinning at the female Chiss Sith. He pulled the blade and it shut off as soon as the light saber body left her frozen hand. Ahsoka force pulled it to herself, getting a long look from Ha'rry in the process. "Naughty naughty." D four dutifully translated getting a glare from the Chiss as the others flowed into the bridge disarming the on-duty bridge shift. "Now tell me everything."

Le'Drang glared and her eyes went full yellow "You will die screaming."

Harry laughed "I always do. So the hard way then." Ahsoka blinked as the droid relayed this.

Ahsoka watched, horrified, as something happened in the Force, something unclean. The Padawans had all frozen staring where Ha'rry was holding the Chiss by the neck and staring in her eyes, as blood flowed from her nose and ears. Just when Ahsoka was going to move to stop whatever this was, Ha'rry dropped the Chiss who fell bonelessly to the deck. He waved and nothing happened. "Tap into the public-address system."

Ahsoka blinked "What? Who?"

"Ships Company." Came from hidden speakers "I am Harry Potter. I have taken this vessel. If you desire to leave it when we visit your planet, or a planet you can survive on, you may.

Meanwhile we will find and pick up these people the Empire is hunting, while killing these agents of this Empire." Ha'rry chuckled darkly "Welcome aboard the Revenge."

Harry moved to the command chair and sat. D four moved with him showing him how to work the computer interface. Ahsoka went about comforting the Padawans. Instructions began scrolling across screens, and the senior members left in each department of the crew began moving bodies to the mass converters after stripping them, then getting their departments back operational.

Rage

On Dagobah Yoda shuddered. Across the Galaxy surviving Jedi looked around uneasily. They never saw the humanoid girl appear and those closest to finding them drop dead. On Coruscant the Emperor convulsed in agony.

Darth Vader lost consciousness in his sphere on his star destroyer.

Rage

Ahsoka looked at the coordinates of their destination "Felucia. Ha'rry why are we going to Felucia?"

Harry smiled "Harry, and we were already in hyperspace pointed that way. I have a list of locations of Jedi. We are going to pick them up."

Ahsoka nodded "What did you do to the Chiss?"

Harry shrugged "She wouldn't tell me, so I took all the information I needed. She is, or will be fine, but she only remembers her life up until she started school at some academy. She was about six. We'll have to teach her all over again, I took the rest." Ahsoka was horrified. Harry shrugged "If you think that's bad you should get off at the first stop. It's nothing on what I can, or will do. Kind even. She can start over and she isn't dead. Pretty hot too, even blue. Nice body, fit. Good mind in there as well."

D four finished translating and looked at Ahsoka placidly.

Ahsoka turned back to her console.

Rage

Ahsoka looked at the elegant foot high black script that had appeared on the wall behind the command chair. D four had translated it for her 'Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Do not go gentle into that good night.'

The ship instead of being Republic red was now flat black with 'Revenge' and 'Earth' under it, painted, or waved like the writing, in dark red letters, on both sides of the stern. Homeport as Harry called it. That's what Earth meant. His home planet, that didn't exist as far as she could tell.

It summed up Ha'rry Potter. He was rage contained in a handsome bottle. He was also unnerving for Force sensitives, he was a complete void in the Force. until he was unguarded. Then the seething rage bled over and filled the space around him until he noticed and suppressed it somehow. Oh, he was unfailingly polite and even kind to the youngest Padawans. But in those unguarded moments, an ancient rage burned like a white dwarf. The warning sounded and she brought her thoughts back to the present and watched as they dropped from hyperspace over an impossibly green world. She immediately felt the presence in the force of Master Shaak Ti. "Harry-"

"Yep, Come on. Something funny down there. Do we have a ferry on this boat? Oh yeah. A shuttle. Let's go check out the problem. Uh, Padawan, erh, green you have the con." Harry had studied and sped read from the holo net and the ships data cores for the four days in hyperspace. Either sitting in the command chair or pacing in front of it with a padd. He had at least skimmed an exabyte of data at gigaflop speeds, while eating ration bars and drinking plain water. The padd he was using was hot to the touch. Occasionally things, like the writing on the wall behind the command chair, the ships paint job, its name and homeport, just happened.

Chandra Ollee, a twenty year old Mirialan, with a pleasing pattern around her blue eyes sighed "Ollee Master, erh, Harry."

"Better. I don't do master. Free will or nothing." Ahsoka grabbed Harry and pulled him to the lift, before he could get started on another rant. That was the other thing that defined him. He had strong, strange, near maniacal opinions, and was happy to tell everyone what they were. Don't even think about slavery. It had taken a day to stop him from abandoning the search for the Jedi and going off killing slavers. She had finally talked him into one fight at a time. All the while he never quit abusing the poor padd.

They made it to the shuttle and he followed her on the controls as she flew. He had input a set of coordinates in the navicomp and she flew to them. He looked around the clearing they had come to and pointed. As they came in they had seen a droid army in rows and the ships delivering it on the ground with no power readings. She was still thinking about that when she saw the body on the ground. The blue female body. She landed and ran off the shuttle as its engines spooled down. She found Master Aayla Secura in some kind of Force trance. She was stitched up her back with a line of blaster wounds.

Harry arrived, nodded and waved. Ahsoka watched amazed as the wounds healed. The Twi'lek master was still unconscious but she was healed. Impossible. She rolled the master over and Harry blushed ferociously, waved and her band repaired itself. Ahsoka laughed "Prude."

Harry asked, "How would you like to be on display as you slept."

Ahsoka shrugged "How is she here? I mean alive."

Harry levitated the female with a wave and headed back to the shuttle "This place crawls with magic, or the Force. Come on, some dick is trying to kill the ones I was after. She was the something funny."

The secret apprentice stepped from the trees and lit his light saber. Shaak Ti nodded and stepped out. Both froze as the shuttle landed. Harry walked out looked at Star Killer, and flicked his hand. Star Killer slammed into a tree and slid down it. Ahsoka looked at him "Feeling generous?"

Harry grinned "He has purpose later. That reset will start him on the path. Now get this Master person whoa!" Harry leaned away from the lightsaber that hissed on already striking at him. "Hey that isn't nice. See if I rescue you again."

Shaak Ti arrived "Maris!"

Maris Brood glared but killed her saber blade. Harry nodded "Better. Now come on, there are more to rescue." He turned on his heel and walked to the shuttle. Ahsoka followed him shrugging apologetically. Shaak Ti blinked then hustled Maris to their, or her, ship. They followed the shuttle to where it landed again by the CIS fleet, and walked out as the male walked to one of the droid ships. Shaak Ti looked at Ahsoka "Padawan Tano."

Ahsoka glared "I resigned. Thanks for your support."

Shaak Ti closed her eyes and dropped her head. "Your forgiveness Ahsoka Tano. We wronged you."

Ahsoka nodded "Damn straight you did. Now while we wait on Harry, come look at Master Secura. Harry found her and healed her."

Shaak Ti blinked. Ahsoka laughed "Tip of the Zillo beast talon. It's been an interesting week."

They were still talking when Harry walked in and dropped a box in the hold. He went to the pilot's seat and sat "There was another Jedi on this planet. She was killed with a cannon. Nothing left but ashes."

Ahsoka arched a brow and Shaak Ti nodded "Barris Offee."

Ahsoka snorted "Traitorous bitch."

Shaak Ti closed her eyes again for a moment. Maris Brood looked through the cockpit window "Uh, where did the CIS fleet and army go?"

Harry shrugged "No sense leave assets lying around. I shrank them and put them in the box I dropped in the hold. Want me to do that with your ship too?"

Ahsoka nodded, wide eyed "This I have to see."

Harry grinned, walked to the ramp with the women following, and levitated Shaak's ship, then floated it toward them as it shrank. Shaak asked "That was the Force?"

Harry grinned "Magic. You folks barely use it. I can show you some things."

Maris put her hands out and Harry dropped the levitation. She marveled at the small model in her hands. Harry chuckled and answered questions as they returned to orbit, and he shrank fifteen more Lucrehulks and pulled them into the shuttle through the magnetic shielding, along with a pair of rings that went with two single seat fighter types he had found on the ground. The women ended up speechless.

Ahsoka flew them back to the Revenge and followed him to the bridge nearly on autopilot. Chandra arched a brow but got them underway to the next location as she turned over to Harry.

Rage

Maris Brood dueled Harry Potter. They had not expected him to master the light saber in moments. Or seemingly so. Of course, he was an expert in any type of combat with apparently any type of weapon. Including a stick with two handles, and a single edged, tapering blade, which he said was a farm implement. That thing was terrifying.

He was also very easy to talk to. He understood her rage. He also didn't tell her to suppress it. He got her to use it without losing herself to it. The looks Ahsoka was throwing her were perfectly justified. Looks that told her she knew that Maris would be open to an advance by Harry. Pretty obvious in an inch wide band that wouldn't have covered her areola if her nipples weren't hard and they weren't completely crinkled up every time Harry was within a hundred feet of her, or her thoughts drifted to him really. The shorts she was wearing, well she could have left those off. The low heeled imperial boots in mirror polished black worked though. Lifted her butt nicely.

She was taking care of reeducating Le'drang. She dressed her pretty much the same way. The woman's nipples were rock hard around Harry too. She really didn't seem a bad sort and she burned through the material they were studying. Perhaps the second time made it easier? Oh yes, and completely a fully grown thirty four standard year old woman too. And not afraid to show Harry.

Master Ti wasn't saying much, but the spars she had with Harry were breathtaking, her hard nipples after and during told their own story. She had lost the Jedi robes as soon as she stepped on the ship and never put them back on. Her white 'straps' as she called them apparently being plenty. Plenty to lead your eye from those big frim breast to that fat juicy looking mound that pretty much begged to be smashed into again and again. Fuck! "Come on Le'drang, lets spar."

Le'drang grinned "Thought yourself horny again didn't you."

Maris gave her a look and led to the sparring area. He of course worked on something on the computer, issued a constant stream of orders, sparred, practiced with blasters, ate and slept in that order. Oh and paced like a rock lion, killing padds reading them to death. Maris chuckled. Ahsoka might as well be nude in that inch wide band and those shorts. No female on this ship didn't know her intentions. She had also achieved her full adult red like Shaak Ti as well. Harry was even more clueless than normal males. Ahsoka was going to explode.

Oh ho what is this? Master Secura wants a spar. This should be fun. Maris turned to watch.

Harry watched the blue girl stalk, nearly nude, about five four, wide hipped, with a round butt, and a twenty eight F if he was any judge, firm and high mounted, to the center of the cleared space they used for sparring and nodded to her. She moved like a dancer, or a warrior. His eyes widened a bit when she lit two lightsabers. Then he grinned. This could be fun. He lit the light saber he had found that liked him best. It was a bit like wands. Some lightsabers worked better for him than others. This purple one worked great. It just felt good.

Ahsoka walked up to Maris "You want him."

Maris laughed "As do almost all the females on this ship. Including Shaak Ti. And from the look of things Aayla Secura."

"You are a Jedi." Ahsoka offered, a bit belligerently.

Maris laughed "The Order is dead. Killed by its own troops. I follow the ways of the Force but not to the exclusion of all else. Harry says we take the best ideas and techniques, and leave those that don't work."

Ahsoka looked at her "He killed thousands taking this ship."

Maris shrugged "They probably needed killing. From what I can tell most do. Look, we all know what you want. He obviously isn't going to play some kind of game. He obviously isn't going to chase or pressure us either. If you want it take it. The rest of us will do the same. Other than that stand aside, as I won't wait much longer."

Aayla Secura came to locked sabers with Harry. Her eyes were dancing. Harry smiled "Nice, thank you."

Aayla unlocked her two sabers by turning them off, stepped back, and bowed, which Harry returned. She took his hand after he shut off his saber and led him out.

Maris looked at the pouting Ahsoka "Too late."

Rage

Aayla Secura was fully healed. The Jedi Order was dead. She wasn't going to be the one to rebuild it. She might not throw away all her principles but she was ditching celibacy, right now and a thick five centimeters at a time. She was stretched completely smooth and he was stimulating every nerve ending in her birth canal. She had pressed him passed her cervix two, or so drops ago and had another maybe two, possibly three to go. She didn't masturbate a lot, as it was frowned on, but she had before and enough to know her limits. He was well passed those, at least her preference. It was a new preference now. Stuffed completely, nearly painfully full.

Harry smiled and leaned forward and bent his back taking a nipple in his mouth, and then moving to the bottom of the magnificent breast it was on. He leaned back and smiled as she snuggled down. He thrust up and chuckled as her eyes bulged. He put his hands on her hips and held her while he drove a little further then lifted her and dropped his hips. She frowned and he dropped her on himself. She got wide eyed and he chuckled rolled them over, put her feet on his shoulders and pounded her like a framing carpenter from California pounded nails. Hard and fast. With a big hammer.

Rage

Ahsoka Tano walked in his stateroom, looked at Aayla on the bed, started getting mad, found herself scooped up and taken to the bed and stripped. Harry was obviously fresh from the fresher and Aayla was asleep or unconscious. Ashoka went to object put lost her train of thought as he nuzzled into her folds looking in her eyes and she tried to hang onto her sanity as a hissing noise happed.

Rage

Shaak Ti walked in later and smiled as her straps hit the floor and she knee walked up him, held his hard length up and sank onto it. His green eyes opened glowing.

Rage

Maris Brood looked at Harry laying on the bed and Le'drang giggled blushed and shoved her in the bed. "Have fun!" She scampered away locking the door on the way out.

Rage

Later as Harry was doing his pacing, reading, working, writing orders, thing the ladies had a conversation in the lounge of the Captains quarters. Aayla looked around and opened with "So, big."

Maris nodded "Any idea what that tongue thing is? I think one of my eyes is still slightly rolled up in my head?"

Shaak nodded "Wyrm speach. It's in the memory core of the first contact droids. Supposedly no humanoid can speak it. He recited a work by an author from his home world in it while performing cunnilingus on us. Not all the same works either."

Ahsoka "His home planet? Where is that?"

Aayla sighed "A mystery actually. The ships logs say he was picked up in the debris field orbiting a young yellow dwarf that was pre planet formation."

"Picked up? As in just out there floating. He was steaming when they brought him in, or rather cooling the air around him. The fog from him was dropping rather than rising now that I think about it."

"So he survived being in hard vacuum somehow. Harry is a bit of a mystery." Maris looked around at the others who were gaping at her a bit. She shrugged.

Shaak nodded "I am much more concerned with this girl he calls Death. Where did she go?" Ahsoka shrugged helplessly.

Rage

Ahsoka was on the bridge when the alarm sounded and the ship dropped from hyperspace. Harry disappeared, and the ship went into its preprogrammed bombardment. The Force screamed as it welcomed thousands joining it. Harry reappeared in a cargo hold with a hundred Jedi and Padawan gripping a rope and disappeared to the bridge again. He waved at D four, and sat in the command chair. "All ships."

D four stepped close and replied, "All ships."

"All ships welcome to the Black fleet. This is Harry Potter. I have killed those holding you against your will. If you do not wish to continue to serve you may leave as soon as we get the fleet to a suitable world for your species. Thank you. Stand by for instructions."

Aayla walked into the bridge with a pained expression "Was that necessary Harry?" Ahsoka goggled and suppressed the urge to ask her if the two pieces of thread and four blaster cleaning patches she was wearing were necessary.

Harry shrugged "They would not have surrendered. I am not keeping them prisoner so this was better than dropping them in a volcano. Now, want to help me find the codes to these droids?"

Aayla rolled her eyes. "Fine, come on then. Ahsoka you can run the ship?"

Ahsoka nodded and Harry put an arm around Aayla and disappeared. Maris looked at the angry face on Ahsoka and laughed. "Aayla seems freer now somehow."

"More naked too." Ahsoka huffed.

Rage

Ahsoka walked into Harry's stateroom fully expecting to find him having sex with Aayla. Instead she found him sitting up in bed working on a padd and Aayla sitting on a synthleather covered sofa working on another. "What are you doing?"

"Working on the droid control program. I got all the droids and their ships out hunting Jedi and attacking Inquisitor ships." Harry shrugged.

Aayla looked at her, smiled, and went in the other room. Ahsoka stuttered and tried a couple times, and Harry chuckled, put the padd down and drug her to the bed. It got to be a bit of a blur punctuated by having a tree rammed in her. In the best possible way. Several times.

She woke up in the morning and groaned "You didn't have to shove a tree in me!"

Harry laughed "I'm not that big."

Aayla sat up on the other side of him "So you say. Are you all right Ahsoka?"

Ahsoka wriggled "Fine, rearranged or something. It will settle. It did last time."

Aayla laughed "I had the same feeling."

Ahsoka narrowed her eyes "First aren't you a Jedi Master, and isn't this against the code, second erh, I'll think of something."

Aayla smiled "I was dead. OK that's trite, but the truth is the code didn't work and led us to where we were. I think we need to go back to the old code. So that's what I am doing. I think attachments that don't interfere with you doing your duty are fine."

Ahsoka groaned "Maris is going to run in here and leap on our tree again."

Aayla smiled "Shaak too."

Harry snorted "I get some say."

Ahsoka looked at the tent at his waist "Yes apparently, you do."

Aayla slid over him and sat up grunting. Ahsoka fled to the fresher.

Rage

Harry was sitting on the bridge when Shaak Ti came in. He grunted "I am going to have to come up with a uniform. Shaak did you come up here just to torture me?" She was in a collection of white straps that accentuated more than it concealed.

Shaak smiled "Not just." The others laughed. Harry glared, ineffectually. Shaak continued "That's the last of the Jedi and Padawan pairs out on ships with list of locations. I came to see how the droid fleet was doing, and to find out how you are going to deal with ships delivering loads of prisoners to here. We can't stay here forever."

Harry nodded "Did you know the droids and their ships are made by droids? I got the shipyards and droid production facilities running locked wide open. I got the droid scout vessels out looking for worlds on the rim of the galaxy, and slave populations, plus scouting hyperspace corridors.

Some of the droid fleet is cleaning up battlespaces and junk worlds. Did you know there were whole worlds of junk?

It's all droids, so I figure we have about a year until the Empire stumbles on the operation, especially if we keep killing off these dark bastards. By then I think I will have droid production and shipyards set up out past the edge of the galaxy proper, so we will be fine.

We can keep making raids into the inner parts of the galaxy forever then."

Shaak huffed "Dark Acolytes Harry. Yes that will keep the emperor focused."

Harry nodded "Meanwhile, with a little creative fomenting, the Chiss can become a problem for him. The Hutts will always be a problem, and I'm sure there are some other megalomaniacal dark bastards that can be turned on him. If he gets really stroppy and stops killing dark bastards or they stop trying to kill him, well, then I'll take a little trip to Coruscant. Meanwhile somebody needs to go get Yoda and some of these other folks and stand up some kind of shadow government. If I have to go kill the emperor, and his little dark minions, it is going to leave a huge hole in the power structure in this galaxy.

Death is out looking around, but apparently, this Universe doesn't have a mad Titan, it has the dark side of the Force instead. That should have scary music playing when you say it. By itself it sounds, I don't know but not scary, well if you don't sleep with a light on."

Shaak nodded and stored that all away to add to the picture they were building of Harry Potter, the mildly psychotic, powerful, what was the opposite of a megalomaniac?

Rage

It was nearly a year to the day when Palpatine got the report that linked it all together and showed him his attempt to eliminate the Jedi had failed, at least partially. The Jedi however had disappeared. Much more pressing were the attacks on Imperial Inquisitor and weak Imperial fleet units coming from the Hutts. That would have to be dealt with. These criminal organizations and the Mandalorian as well.

The odd Jedi here and there could be dealt with. The plan hadn't worked as intended but it had worked. The Jedi's power was broken.

Rage

Ahsoka waved and her band and shorts disappeared reappearing in the hamper. She walked in the fresher then climbed in the bed. A year of studying the way Harry used the Force and practice and she was starting to get it.

Most of the female Jedi had moved on to different missions and worlds. Only herself, Maris, Shaak and Aayla remained on Revenge. Well of the Force users. The others strolled in the quarters took a ride, got a knight or Padawan, a rebuilt pirate or slaver ship, and buggered off somewhere on some mission or another of the hundreds queued up by Shaak and Aayla. With her, Maris and Le'drang helping.

They had just enough crew permanently aboard to move the ship and go about missions Le'drang was assigned. Le'drang worked hard studying tapes of herself and imperial procedures from her retinal scan locked logs and kept the reporting up. They were Jedi capturing, pirate killing crack inquisitors. On paper anyway.

When Harry wasn't teaching them his version of the Force, they were teaching him theirs, and about this universe as he called it and the Revenge was their training aid. The ship was nearly entirely automated and they had a whole class of Padawans on board learning Harry's method along with the traditional method of the Force under the old code. There were Masters on board teaching them. They weren't permanent parts of the crew though, just using the space really.

They were on a slow progress around the outside rim of the Galaxy surveying worlds and annihilating the dark. Pirates and Slavers drove toward the Galactic core and took their operations with them or died. Of course, up against the Empire fleet and all the people in it trying to make names for themselves they mostly died anyway. It amused Harry no end.

The Empire had found out about the Jedi, the missing droids, and droid ships but had done nothing. Now there were two worlds producing top of the line battle droids and ships twenty-four hours a day seven days a week. Besides agricultural implements, transport systems, medical droids, planetary defense systems, and construction equipment for a world a day. They seeded that world a day with twenty five thousand colonist of one species or another, taken from slave pens, off ships, or worlds somewhere in the galaxy. They added enough droids and material to make it function. A few seeds from a trunk Harry carried and a few young animals. Aside from the nerfs, grazers, cattle and sheep. As Harry said, they used everything but the squeals, If the animals and people made something Harry had some process for it he had written on a padd. Even the light, then steadily heavier industry, and mining operations waste streams were analyzed, separated, captured and stored to be used for something. Reaction mass for non FTL or attitude control engines if nothing else. The only waste from a process, if you wanted to call it that, was fresh water and breathable gasses for one of the hundreds of species that were then moved to where those species were. Even carbon dioxide was saved as most plants used it.

Harry raiding brothels, with troops of the species running the things mortal enemies, or at least a couple known ones even if dead, and the appropriate uniforms, if they were normally used, did more to foment unrest in the galaxy than anything else they did.

They, Shaak, Aayla, Maris and herself had decided they needed a human mate for Harry. Death, who had begun stopping by occasionally to talk to the ladies, had laughed and disappeared. That had been a month ago. Tonight was the night they were telling Harry their plan. The Padawans had some very interesting girls in among their number.

The others came in and got ready, then got in the big bed, Harry appeared last, with a padd in his hand as always. He put the padd down, went to the fresher, picked the padd back up got in bed, issued kisses and sat with his back against the bulkhead. Eventually he looked up in the silence "What?"

Aayla looked at the others and decided to be spokeswoman "You need a mate."

Harry blinked "Another one?"

Maris rolled her eyes "One who can give you children Harry."

Harry blanched "You are all on birth control right?"

Shaak smiled, Harry was humorously uneducated about some things "We are different, incompatible for breeding purposes, species Harry, you can't get us pregnant."

They weren't prepared for the groan and the collapse. Harry laughed "You are all in for such a shock. Magic, Master of Death, basilisk venom and phoenix tears in my blood. If you have ovaries I can get you pregnant. I've had kids that were hatched from eggs." The women gaped at him. He laughed helplessly. "It was a universe where Veela were a little more bird than…never mind. If you haven't been on birth control you are all going to be pregnant. I am overjoyed, I hope you all aren't sorry."

The women sat or lay for a moment, then another, then Ahsoka got up "Uh, I think I'm going to go see the medics, uh, yeah. OK, bye." She turned on her heel and took off.

Harry flopped in the bed and groaned. Maris looked at the others "Think she will realize she is naked soon?"

Ahsoka ran back in the room and glared at them all, as she went to her storage and got a fresh band and shorts "Not one word!"

Harry stood in the medical bay watching the four women as they processed the news. They were all pregnant. He was grinning like an idiot. He couldn't stop. Slowly they all smiled too.

Rage

Ahsoka was talking with Bail Organa on a secure channel, when Bails wife Breha suddenly leaned in and gasped "You're pregnant!"

"Frack! How did you know?" Ahsoka gasped.

Bail backed away.

Harry watched this and started tapping away on his padd. Aayla levered herself up and looked at the padd "Is that wise?"

Harry shrugged "As far as the empire knows it's a ship of the inquisition. I've been answering Le'drangs mail for a year and a half. Well she and I, us really. Plus she is reeducated, we can trot her and some of the crew out if we need to. She is a hero, her ship has fought hundreds of engagements with pirates. Sent the empire the holofeeds and heads to prove it. Worst case I can knock em all dead and we can have more boats."

Aayla crawled in his lap "You devious bastard."

Harry raised an obscuring dome and silencing wards.

Rage

"Cloak yourself in the Force you do. A Sith technique this is."

Harry looked at the house elf that had been introduced as Yoda "Hello Pot. Kettle. Nice to meet you."

Yoda frowned "Joking matter this is not."

Harry shrugged "I am neither Jedi nor Sith."

"No, a Master of something else you are. Not of the Forces of Life."

Harry sighed "Hey it's a force of life. With no life, there is no death. So are we going to be able to work together, or is this going to get all pissy."

Yoda nodded "Work together we will. Like it I am not required to."

Harry shrugged "I grow on people."

"So does fungus." Yoda replied.

Harry laughed "You are a spiteful little elf aren't you?" The others watched as the light saber battle surged back and forth, up and down, and around, the royal hunting lodge on Alderaan.

Harry eventually walked back limping, but Yoda was asleep in a levitation charm. The four women glared at him. "What? Was I supposed to let him win? Near cut my legs off. Bounces like a rubber ball. It's like fighting an animated weed whacker burning nitromethane."

Bail frowned "Weed Whacker?"

Harry waved and a weed whacker skittered around trimming the edges of the lawn and then flew off into the woods where a gout of chips and shreds flew back toward them as a tree became a topiary rearing stallion.

Ahsoka sighed "Yoda is going to kill you when he hears you compared him to that thing."

Rage

"Seven hundred worlds you have." Yoda looked at Harry.

Harry shrugged "Lots out there. Technically some are moons though. Meanwhile it's all self-supporting, and mutually defending, so I don't really feel the need to dive off in the Empire for anything. I'm happy to snatch, or rather let your pairs use my hulls, on their normal intelligence gathering runs, and to snatch Force sensitives. However their main missions are gathering intelligence and freeing slaves. Oh and picking up whatever scrap they can find. Scrap saves us having to mine. Mining is a pain in the ass and so fucking dirty! We only do it where or when we need both the commodity we mine and all the byproducts.

The Empire has decided the Lucrehulk freighters are just freighters and garbage scows. Well after inspecting them hundreds of times. They don't even have control cores and barely any weapons, at least as far as the Empire troops can tell. I make money on both ends, hauling in food and hauling out scrap and compost. Couldn't do it without repulsor lifts. Clearing the gravity wells would be impossible otherwise.

Shaak and Aayla, along with Bail and Mon, did great work on the Mustafar thing, and we still run droid factories and shipyards there, and are sucking that thing dry of metals, and any Jedi or other 'undesirables' the empire brings.

I think we have a few years to close the noose on the Empire. He is chasing the non base form humans out now, and I don't think it will take long before the Chiss rebel. If he wins that he'll turn on the Hutts. We can sit out here and watch him self-destruct."

Yoda nodded "Yes the edge of the galaxy is hard to manage. Always true this is. This course might be best. Transport the other races your ships will?"

Harry nodded "Of course. We have worlds waiting for them."

Garm Bel Ilbis spoke up "These rune arrays are why your weapons are so much more powerful?"

Harry nodded chuckling "And we have water and fuel on the ships, and the ships are more efficient. Your technology is based in magic. It's like it was made for runes. The Lucrehulks aren't really that fast on their own. I do have to thank the Padawans and Knights I trained for activating the rune sets. Everyone has wards augmenting planetary defenses now.

I can't wait to try that rune enhanced Ion cannon."

Yoda paled. He was saved from that discussion when Ahsoka came in and handed Harry one of his sons. Two sons and three daughters so far. "Play with your guns later." She handed him a padd "The Chiss are moving."

Harry sighed "Early. We haven't gotten them really hooked to the eternal empire remnants yet. It could happen on its own though."

Aayla walked in with a baby on each hip followed by a nanny droid "We should send a fleet of recyclers in."

Shaak and Maris followed her with their own children and more nanny droids. Shaak offered "Hospital and evacuation ships too. We could pick up some already trained and disheartened by combat." Harry was already tapping away on the padd.

Mon, Breha Organa and Clynda bel Ilbis came over and picked up babies. Leia toddled along with her adoptive mother as did Luke her brother. Obi Wan Kenobi, Jedi master sighed "So much loss of life."

Harry waved "Not like it wasn't going to happen one way or the other. Believe me I've seen this hundreds of times."

Rage

Harry popped off the nearly black nipple he was sucking pink milk from and blinked "What?"

Death sitting cross legged on the bed laughed as the four women looked at her "Yuuzhan Vong Harry. Killed their galaxy. Want a new home."

Harry sighed "This Universe is going to take a million years."

Death shrugged "Think of all the kids you five will have by then."

Aayla blanched "Birth control I think."

Harry put his head back on Shaak's breast. Maris chuckled "Done talking now."

Ahsoka picked up a padd and turned on the latest intelligence update. "The worlds are expanding to their neighbors. We are two, three systems, deep along the rim of the galaxy."

Maris nodded "The exponential explosive growth Harry projected will start now. Well once these worlds reach their maximum capacity. They are following the plan though and taking all the worlds both up and down, those rogues above and below the plane as well."

Aayla looked at the projections "Still ten thousand years to complete dominance."

Shaak pushed Harry's head away "Stop Harry. To sensitive."

Maris squawked as she was dragged to Harry and Shaak sat up "What are we talking about?"

Aayla smiled "Galactic domination. Death found some race out in intergalactic space she says will be here in-" She turned to Death.

Death shrugged "Fifty years maybe."

Shaak nodded "So we are going to let them have those fifty years or we are going to kill them all now?"

Maris got Harry wrestled down and sat on him astride "Give them the years. You know Yoda will be in here all bitchy if we don't."

Harry scooted up against the head board and flipped Maris to reverse cowgirl "Chiss, Hutt, Hapes, Mandalor, Empire, you'd think the little elf had enough to worry about without bothering me over killing a few here and there."

Ahsoka snorted "A few? You're the Black Death of the galaxy."

Death perked up "Oh hadn't thought of that in years. We can tailor it to dark side users."

Ahsoka paled "Oh hell no! Then Yoda will be in here all "Evil you are becoming Padawan Tano." She imitated his voice and the others fell over laughing.

Harry eventually recovered and finished mauling Maris, or she finished with him "So we just keep letting them fight it out?"

Aayla shrugged "They seem to enjoy themselves. We're taking most of the slaves and those who can't help themselves. The ward stones are keeping the people on our worlds tied to us. They know how to talk to us if they need help."

Shaak nodded "Meanwhile our population of Force Mages grows all the time. They can call us if they need us and the Yuuzhan Vong might pass us by." Everyone looked at her, she rolled her eyes "It could happen."

Harry had one of Maris's horns in his mouth and was laving it with his tongue like it was a nipple. She moaned and squirmed.

Rage

Yoda looked at the virtual galaxy. This holotank had all the data so was the truest representation of the galaxy. The rim and a band of systems four systems deep was colored Red with gold hyperspace lanes. The area the rebellion held was yellow with black hyperspace lanes. Surrounded by grey space with white hyperspace lanes and the areas the Empire controlled was green with silver hyperspace lanes. The areas controlled by the Hapes, Mandalorian, Chiss and Hutts were bright orange with yellow hyperspace lanes and way off in the distance, outside the galaxy was a flashing red cluster of world ships, as they were being called. Yoda shook his head. The Vong. They did not feel the force. He could not reach them and Master Potter would kill them all.

Yoda sighed. He had had high hopes when Master Potter had children, he thought that would stop the killing. It had not. He turned his eyes to the arms of the galaxy where the Potter exploration and colonization had started. In the last two years, they had filled completely with the red and gold and the rogues out of the arms and above or below the plane of the galaxy had joined them.

The Potter hegemony was a pleasant place though. No problems that would require Jedi or even police. Mainly because lawbreakers fell over dead. They were simple laws though. No killing, don't rape, no slavery, don't steal, and your rights end where the other person's nose begins. Other than that, do what you feel, until you fall dead. There was no charity either though. You worked or starved. Every planet with twenty-five thousand beings of whatever species it could support at first, and up to a population of a billion sentient beings. Those beings could form governments as they wished, but the Potter Hegemony laws took precedence. If they didn't interfere with those laws they could do as they wished.

Those worlds colonized other worlds when they got to their population limits. Now a colony a day starting somewhere along with the continuing colonization by Potter himself. There was no Senate or Republic. Potter was a true Tyrant. A benevolent one, but still a tyrant.

Yoda wondered what would happen when Potter ran out of unoccupied or unclaimed bodies in the galaxy. At the exponential rate of expansion, he was seeing now, he would live to see it. For some reason his eye was drawn to the mega freighters plying the hyperspace lanes between the hegemony and the core worlds while he contemplated the future.
