Peace through tyranny
The Rise of the Fallen
Load Full StoryNext ChapterDisaster is what can be described in the years that followed the battle of Yavin and the death of the emperor, no one expected a rebellion that could barely organize a fleet decent or powerful enough to go head-to-head with all the grandeur of the fleets of the empire, it would succeed in destroying the death star again, chaos ensued, with the Emperor having no successor, many Admirals, Grand Admirals and Warlords began to separate and completely ignore the main government organ, immediately fighting among themselves, using their resources to gain land and own power, the legitimate rulers, successors of the old emperor failed miserably to control the little that the Empire controlled, this gave breathing space for the rebellion, now being called themselves the New Republic, to reorganize and fortify, now that many felt they didn’t need to be afraid anymore, and were in droves volunteering to join this new government, dreaming of a prosperous and egalitarian future, this war lasted another five bloody years, and many times the imperial Remnant united with the other Warlords to counter attack and try to put one end to the new republic, but all were failures, resulting in internal fights again, and again they had to suffer a humiliating and massive defeat, in the battle of Jakku, where all the remaining imperials and their last Super Star Destroier under the command of Gallius Rax, made a last stand against the forces of the New Republic, hoping that a definitive battle would end the war, this was the last great resistance mounted by the empire, where the rest was forced to surrender, and then a historic peace treaty was made, where the Galactic empire surrendered to the New Republic in the Galactic Concordance, many imperials became furious about it, surrender was not a option, they fled in unknown regions, and together they formed the First Order, the true successor to the empire.
In a Resurgent Class Star Destroyer, General Hux, the new aspiring commander of that new military, he was both brilliant and merciless, however, ambicious and arrogant, he stood proudly on the bridge, looking at the Supremacy with his hands behind his back, it was majestic, gigantic, the largest ship built in the history of the galaxy, surpassing even the flagship of Palpatine himself, a mobile headquarters, had the capacity to build an entire army or a huge fleet overnight.
Keeping most of the resources of the newly formed first order, the new Supreme Lider Smoke proved to be vital for the reconstruction of our navies, as well as expanding them...
However, his arrogant smile soon died, as he took a few steps back, and started walking again, even though he had the capacity to build, they did not have the resources for such production, they needed territories...
The General supported himself with his hands on a panel, and turning on, he could see several systems appearing on the screen, he would zoom in on one of them, a planet that would possibly have life, Hux was already looking at certain planets in these new systems that they had been close for a while, he already found several potential candidates to "join" the First Order, he was ambitious, but he knew what he could and could not do, he still needed the approval of the supreme leader, but he had already the approval of the high council to initiate necessary reconnaissance plans and missions, Hux believed that with this initiative, he would not only get the necessary resources to strengthen the forces of the Order, but also put him in the spotlight, he would smile, Snoke would be surprised by the ambitious, however genius plans of him, but for now, he would let it in the dark, a trump card, for him to show his loyalty and ability.
Clicking on a few buttons on the panel, he looked and selected reconnaissance drones, relics of the Empire, however, they were effective, and with the upgrades, they still manage to do their job perfectly, selecting a group, he pressed a red button beside , and with that several of these droids, left the lower hangars, flying towards that unknown planet, he smiled even more, soon, that planet would be his.
While he smiled, a noise, a noise from the doors of the bridge elevator being opened, with that, steps.
Thump, Thump, Thump
His smile diminished, an dark and terrifying aura had now appeared on the bridge
Thump, Thump, Thump
All the technicians, on the bridge now looked at the figure approaching the windows of the bridge, on the catwalk, they seemed tense, Hux did not need to look back to know who was approaching him, he now formed an expression of disdain, but recovered and kept a neutral expression
Thump, Thump.....
The figure now standing next to Hux, looking at the Horizon could be seen better, Dark Robes covered his body, hiding an armor, his mask was covered by a hood, he slowly looked at the general, one robotic and intimidating voice came out of the dark figure.
"I felt something on that moon, something powerful, and dark...."
Hux would slowly look back at the figure with a face of desinterest
"I am taking the 105th to investigate."
The General could not contain his hint of anger
"I will not allow you to spend our resources hunting for feelings based on a mer-"
He would then fail to continue his words, being hanged by an invisible force, being lifted, and thrown on the wall, the figure would not have lifted a finger.
"The Supreme Leader have granted me permission, i didn't ask"
Hux struggled to his feet, holding his throat in pain and struggling to breathe, he looked hatefully at the figure that had turned and was now walking off the bridge
On a mountain, the famous capital of Equestria stood proudly, its walls made of the most expensive and resistant materials in all the land, the noble, proud and arrogant, fight among themselves behind the curtains to obtain more power and status, this predatorial way of thinking was already common since the time when Equestria was just a handful of tribes that fought among themselves, Celestia knew, she kept herself on the balcony, watching her city, and her people in their daily activities, ignorant of the whole internal fight between the nobles, Celestia knew, she saw everything, she controlled everything, but she was not all-powerful as her little pony's did believe, until she had limits, she slowly turned and entered the castle, going through a series of corridors protected with rows and rows of guards while keeping her hands on her back, she slowly entered a giant room, a carpet took her to her lonely throne, walking she remembered, it wasn't always like that, but now she had to pay for her mistakes, since she ignored her sister's feelings , who was ignorant of her problems, she allowed the darkness to dominate her, and the pain still ran in her heart for having banished her to the moon, since that day she has been hailed as a heroine by many, and hated by many others, the Batpony's never recognized my government as legitimate without the moon to balance, and many of my people liked Luna, and blamed her for her transformation, even though it was true, it didn’t justify the attacks and thefts they did throughout Equestria, sitting on her throne she sighed, so many problems and no solution, she looking at a guard, she nodded, the guard understanding the meaning, without hesitation walked to the huge doors, allowing the first in line for the day court.
*Some hours later*
She had already lost count of how many stupid problems she had to solve that afternoon, but she always kept her political mask and solved it in the fairest way possible, some wanted to resolve land disputes, other family problems, some nobles tried to pass useless laws other than that, it was a very tiring afternoon.
She sighed as she relaxed herself on her throne, it was finally over, but when she thought she would have rested for a while, her horn started to shine, when a message then appeared in front of her, appearing in a ball of fire green, she grabbed the paper with a warm smile appearing on her face, it was a message from her most faithfull student, a rare gem that Celestia so much praised, and what brought her a lot of pride, she slowly opened the message, trying to decifer why her student would send a message When Twillight sent a message, it was of severe importance, either to Equestria, or to Twillight's growth as a person, and for Celestia, it didn't matter, she treated both situations with severe concern and observation.
Dear Princess Celestia,
The Pony's here in town are scared, many stories are passing through here in Ponyville, people reported strange activities coming from Everfree, and that during the night, red eyes roamed at night, strange sounds and noises never heard before, which caused more fear and paranoia among citizens, I at first for obvious reasons, thought it was just stories invented by frightened children and troublemakers wanting to make a scene, but I had my own experience with these strange activities, the Everfree forest has been more agitated than normal, Fluttershy said that her animals avoid wandering through the forest at night for fear of something, when she tried to convince them to tell her what this monster or new creature was like, they just seemed more frightened, I tried to investigate further, but none book I tried to look for informed me of a monster that resembled this creature, my friends volunteered to help me, but we couldn't even get close to even find the creature, when we saw the eyes and tried to catch it, and as if the creature just disappeared, I seek your help and enlightenment Princess, for the well being of everyone in Ponyville.
I await your response
Your faithful student
Twillight Sparkle
her smile immediately disappeared, she would put a hand on her face, and sigh, one more problem, what a headache.
She would lift her head and wave her hand at one of the guards, he would notice and walk to the throne and kneel for the princess
"Yes Princess?"
She would maintain a neutral expression while speaking
"Send a detachment of Royal Guards to Ponyville with orders to patrol and protect her, tell the captain to report directly to Twillight Sparkle"
He would confirm by bowing while running to give the orders, Celestia would then pick up a quill with ink, and sum up a sheet of paper to write an answer to her student, not thinking it was a very alarming situation, but she would make sure that it was just a false alarm.
A-118 would be watching a cooking show on Holonet, sitting in a chair in front of a table in his dorm, he would be bored, the training was over for a few hours, and the commander had sent them to the dormitories after running to the bridge for some emergency meeting or something, he was excited when it happened, he was expecting some new mission, but he immediatly forgot about it.
Since he volunteered for the Sith Troopers program, nothing interesting happened as he expected, yes he was happy to be able to pass that hell that they called "tests" to become one of the most prestigious elite troops of the First Order as well as much better rations, and armor that he was still in love, about the reddish design and how powerfull he would fell inside of it still had given chills everytime he put the helmet on, but as he was more "important" than a normal stormtrooper, he didn’t did more reconnaissance missions on wild planets, or cleanup missions in alien villages, fighting for the future of the galaxy was not just a privillege, it was entertaining aswell, and escorting a guy in black rags who uses the force to one side and the other while he takes all the fun for himself is not one of the most exciting jobs in the world, but he followed his orders without hesitation, steps broke his line of thought, when another Sith Trooper appeared when opening the door
"Hey 118! Briefing on 10! looks like we will finally do some secret shit!"
He would smile when he saw the animation of his fellow trooper, it was W4,
a friend who joined the Sith Program together with him, at first he hated the non-professional way he always acted, but he gradually began to appreciate humor at one time or another, in this boat everyone was ultra-serious, so having a clown in the pack was always good.
"Roger W4, beer is on me if we get to shoot something!"
The other would give a chuckle under the red helmet
"I would almost be happy if someone finally shoots us, these trainings with those droids are letting me crazy! they aim like a blind Hutt!"
He would laugh at his friend's antics as he took the helmet that was resting next to him and put it on his head, hurried steps gave to be seen in the background, and another Red Stormtrooper could be seen passing by them
"Move your asses! I don't want to be late for my first mission out of this old can!"
He would hurry, taking his ST-W48 while leaving the dormitory together with W4 behind his passing comrade, they slowly walked through corridors and more corridors, A-118 had to say, this ship had times that looked like a maze, the corridors were all identical and were always crowded with patrols, the hangars were gigantic and many not only kept fighters but had entire production lines, he was still surprised at how many things could fit in a single ship, shit, that ship could have a production capacity greater than an entire city!
He then looked at his companion who was moving his hand from side to side in front of him as they walked.
"Hello? Coruscant to 118?"
He then shakes his head from side to side
"Sorry, i spaced out a bit"
His friend would then tilt his head to the side showing curiosity.
"A bit?"
He smiled behind his mask and playfully punched his friend's arm
"Shut up you idiot, i was just thinking"
He couldn't see it, but he could imagine his friend's playful smile behind the helmet
"Thinking huh..? Would it be about a shinny beautiful silver warrior?"
He would be a little embarrassed by the comment, and the W4 knew that, he would then slap the back of the helmet with his companion, who would laugh under the helmet
"No you moron! You know that i don't see Phasma that way! I only admire her dedication!"
W4 would move his hand dismissively, still laughing
"Relax, no one is going to understand us, and i am just fucking with you."
A-118 knew that, their voices came out completely distorted and modified when they came out of the helmets' speakers, this was done so they wouldn't be understood by enemies in combat, however it was still embarrassing mock one superior like that, shit, she was the best of the First Order!
"But i know you think about it...."
188 would look with hate at the W4, that would laugh even more
"I don't even need you to take off your helmet to see you blushing!"
"Dipshit"
However, to W4's sadness, they had arrived at the control room, obligatorily making him follow protocol and stop talking nonsense, there, stood many other Sith troopers and to their surprise, some Jet troopers, they all were in a position of attention waiting for orders, they would soon join the companions in position in a military fashion, and just in time, when a figure entered the room, everyone in the room already knew who it was when they hit the eyes in the, hooded figure, Kylo Ren, A-118 knew the Knight of Ren well, they fought side by side in several incursions, he was placed under direct command of the black user of the force, he had a tremendous respect for him, even though he was completely brutal in his tactics, he had already proved himself much better than that idiot Hux, Kylo Ren was always in in the middle of the battle with the Stormtroopers, in the front line, fighting and bleeding for the First Order, he was a little envious of Ren's knight, but he was grateful that he wasn't him too, he was the grandson of Darth Vader, the old Right hand to the old emperor and his Main Enforcer, it was a lot of pressure to carry his Grandmother's legacy, but he was already doing very well in the eyes of 118, the record of battles and skirmshes he fought were always victories, and he never left survivors, everyone knew that, and they were expected to obey him without question and give their all for him, Ren's knight looked around the room, and walked slowly through the line of soldiers, slowly judging each of them, and then, stood in front of a panel, he put his arms behind his back.
"105th! What is your truth?!"
A voice boomed of the armored figure
"There is only one truth; order!"
Kylo Ren slowly walked to one side and another by the line with the arms by his back.
"What do we have in order?! WHY DO WE HAVE ORDER?
They all knew the answer, and all responded in unison.
"In order, emotion is resolved! In order Knowledge is utility! In order, Passion is loyalty! In order, harmony is unity! In order, death is remembered! The Force is your weapon and we are weapons of the Order!"
Kylo Ren raised his fisted hand
"FOR THE FIRST ORDER!"
All of them raised their fists in unison.
"FOR THE FIRST ORDER!"
That was the 105st code, that was the code of Order, thats why they fought, thats why they die!
Author's Note
Hello everyone! An idea that I had in my head for a while, since I attended the new triology, I created a fascination for the First Order, but I was disappointed by the lack of use of the characters, so much potential discarded, so I'm making this new story, to try to find that potential and use it, I hope you like it! Peace!
