Marvel crosses Star Wars, and everyone attacks the galaxy

As all this was going on, Master Silus approached Luminara as they were catching up after a long time.

"Are you okay, Sirius?"

"At least you're still alive, Luminara." Sirus said, looking at her with a tired face. "Jabiim is not necessarily friendly to the Republic and her soldiers.

"I can see that clearly," Luminara said, briefly glancing at one of the clones in her battalion, which was groaning in pain while the medics worked to ease it.

Seeing her discomfort, Sirus chose to change the subject of their conversation. "Your Padawan is very talented, old friend."

Luminara looked over at her student and found herself smiling calmly. “This child, whenever she has free time, she works hard to perfect her traits and skills. I am very proud of how far she has come. How is your Padawan?”

"Aubrey is upset about the change of plans. She has just been asked to train with Master Windu. What an honor. Sirius said with a grin.

"For her, or for you?" Luminara said with a frown.

"Both. But that will have to wait. Tell me about this new force we're dealing with," Sirius said. "This Ultron."

The Mirialan Jedi Master's mood changed to a more indifferent expression, though there was a hint of anger behind her eyes.

"Ultron is something we've never had any real experience with, I can tell you that. And before you make your arrogant remarks, even to a lesser degree, they do nothing to describe how powerful he is.

"How dangerous is he?" Sirius asked softly.

“I don’t think I have to tell you about his threats, considering how he made himself famous.

Sirius turned around and recalled that a few days ago, the communication link exploded and every channel received distress calls from all over the galaxy.

How countless fleets were attacking on multiple planets until the news that Coruscant had been attacked got worse.

That’s a horrible thing to hear.

Now...he is here.

This Ultron fleet outnumbered both sides and quickly made progress on Jabiim.

The Nationalists reportedly had lost about a dozen strongholds and the Republic had depleted half of its ground forces.

The worst part is that civilians have been targeted, forcing the abandonment of many fronts in favor of taking people to safety.

Sirus was thankful for the troop reinforcements that had arrived. Some were disappointed that they were here to get them off the planet instead of helping them protect it, but personally, Sirus was more than willing to leave this world.

If he was honest with himself, the planet was a losing battle on several fronts.

It was a hopeless endeavor at this point, and the mounting casualties began to weigh heavy on Sirius' mind. If he was more honest with himself, the Jedi Master feared that one day his Padawan would end up being counted among those who had been lost.

This was the last thing he wanted to see.

-elsewhere-

A group of people had gathered in an expanded tent. Most of the group was made up of Jedi Knights and Clones who had emerged victorious from the recent battle, and they had been joined by several others over the past hour.

The group is currently watching a holographic video of a man wielding a sword and shield while addressing a crowd. He has long hair and a matching beard, as both have their hair in braids.

"Your planet, your home, is drowning in blood! For three thousand years, we have been loyal to the Republic. But did they provide aid during the Brain Rot Plague? Did they respond when the Trandoshans invaded? Where were the Jedi when the Lycian pirates killed your parents... and mine? The Republic ignored our cries for help until they learned that, beneath all the mud, our planet was rich in ore!

Cheers can be heard in the background.

"Now, they want to control the ore and prevent us from profiting from trade with the Confederation of Independent Systems! We will let the Jedi know that we will fight for freedom! We will fight to defend our planet! We will send the Jedi home in a coffin!

The recording ended with War Machine responding.

"That was a very inspiring speech there. What's this guy's name again? War Machine's voice was dry.

"The Jabiim separatist commander, Alto Stratus." A man dressed in heavy military fatigues to help protect himself from the current weather spoke. He had long hair and a braided beard. "He took control in a coup last year. Killed most of the loyalists in the Jabiim Congress. Luckily, some of us escaped."

"Captain Guilmon is Stratus' only match." Addressed Kenobi.

"Until you and these new forces arrived," said the loyal captain.

"Hopefully, Ultron's presence won't delay the arrest of Stratus," Rhodes said. "We find him, and then everyone can focus on leaving Jabium."

"We can only hope so," Obi-Wan said with a tired sigh. "How's the civilian evacuation going?"

"We got one city of people out, but now it's been razed to the ground," Black Widow said. "Steve's team is making progress, but it's slow. He's recently been joined by Ella and Pro."

Guilmon sighed softly. "I hope that's the only thing I have to worry about."

"Let's just focus on Stratus for now," Kenobi said, getting a nod from the loyalist.

"Who is protecting him?" Natasha asked.

Guilmon responded. "He is surrounded by a group of highly trained commandos known as the Nimbus Commandos. But his real allies are the CIS. We have learned that he has been promised Count Dooku's mining rights in exchange for weapons.

"We've destroyed a dozen outposts so far, but we're still nowhere near finding Stratus," Silus informed the newcomer.

Guilmon quickly pulled out a map and showed it to everyone. "Wish we had better news for you, but we are tied down. Every time we 'find' another target, the attack takes us further away from our base in Sanctuary. From supplies and reinforcements to further away... and new walkers."

Steve asked, assuming a thinking pose. "How far is this base?"

“We slowed down our one-day trek due to the rain. Our communication equipment got flooded.

"So, what happens next?" asked Sirius.

"The Separatists found our weakness and attacked with all their might, killing many clones and Jedi."

"If it weren't for the Separatists..." War Machine muttered.

"It will be Ultron." Black Widow said dejectedly.
