Darth Marr stood still, sighing heavily. Gogeta then crossed his arms, frowning slightly.

"Let's not worry about them. We've started this whole thing on Yavin, and we'll finish it where ever we find him."

The Sith then turned towards the fusion, nodding his head once.

"Agreed."

The Sith's masked turned to his right, staring back at the officer now standing out of his seat in front of his console.

"My lord, we've got sensor contact. 15 clicks...no life form readings...some kind of probe?"

The man reached down towards his console, lightly tapping on a single red button as a blue holoimage of a sphere looking object with tail fins all along its rear floated in front of the two. Darth Marr turned his gaze towards the open windows, just in time for a large object illuminated by a blue glow to whiz by the window. The object snaked down to the center of the flagship, rapidly spiraling upwards towards the front.

Another officer turned her head up, her eyes narrowed at the sight.

"Readings are identical to the unknown force that attacked Earth."

Darth Marr uncrossed his arms, raising his voice heavily.

"Raise shields! Pursue and destroy!"

=====================================

Vegetto continued to lay dormant, his chest steadily rising and falling. His eyelids twitched a bit, but no other movement originated from his body.
 
Solaris glanced towards Gogetta and Darth Marr before returning to Future Brachi.

"We'll have to play catch up another time it seems." He said. He motioned for Lily, who came over to him and pulled out a strange hose like device, which was purple.

"Quick fix working?" He asked. She nodded, turning it on and firing it at Solaris, a translucent beam of red energy flowing into him.

"Good." He replied. Kira walked over to the group.

"Look, you need to get whatever's bugging you out of the-" Lily began to say before she sighed and interrupted.

"I know. I know. Put aside my hatred for the Sith, for the moment, to focus on the bigger threat. And I intend to do just that." Kira said.

"No, I wasn't on Earth at the time." Kire replied to Mioi, turning his full attention on her. "I don't think I can go back anyways, kinda lost. As for humans... well." Kire glanced at Jaz, who was resting gently on top of Vegetto's chest, almost napping, waiting for him to wake up. "Humans are kinda weird, to say the least. We can't fly, we can't see in the dark, and we can't use skills like you use to communicate with us. We're truly worthless if anything! Haha! But... we're capable of many things despite being so weak. I made Jaz with just a single drop of my blood because I can't have kids naturally~. This was waaaaaay back when I was created." Kire knocked on his head, it making a metallic clang noise. "I'm just a creation too! The real Kire died a loooooong time ago!" 

Kire took a moment to laugh but leaned back on the chair and crossed one leg over the other. He crossed his arms over his chest and nodded his head.

"Anyways, enough about me, Jaz told me that you can see in the dark because you live underground." Kire said while checking Vegetto every once in a while. "Are there any more of you where you came from? Are you guys strictly ground-dwellers?"

Jaz stared intently at Vegetto and listened to his heart beat. She was obviously worried for him and eventually, slowly close her eyes, awaiting for Vegetto to wake up, fully recovered. She whispered to herself.

"Veggie... you're stronger than this, wake up you...spiky haired dum-dum..."

"Fascinating. So he lives on as you. Or is it vice-versa?... I suppose a child of just a droplet of blood is quite the feat. Never have thought such a thing could be possible." Mioi said. 


"For my race, we prefer living below the surface of planets like Mars. The humidity keeps our eyes from drying as well. But, I suppose my species has been greatly reduced in number from all of this. My cousin shares my race, but her species is a bit more advanced than mine. A lot less solitary and more inclined to live above ground." She explained. "Though, she has visible teeth and a mouth to speak with. For me to speak with my mouth or eat, I would be forced to show you. That species can freely do so, but they have a much weaker range of telepathy than those like me. For them, your brainwaves are incompatible and can't be picked up." Despite her fatigue, she looked around to see if food was available at the moment. "Is there food anywhere on this ship?..."
 
"Well, that's something new to hear." Kire nodded to himself before digging into his bag, pulling out a small granola bar and a juice box. He handed it to Mioi. "You're really interesting, Mioi. I assume your brain wave powers can only communicate with people near by, huh?" Kire tapped at Vegetto's cheek, giving him a gentle slap. "I think you'd be a perfect subject to test some suits I'm making. I can make another one that totally benefits your abilities and even more."

Kire pondered on the thought before glaring directly at Mioi. His eyes seem to scan her, measuring her, and ultimately telling Kire very basic information about her. He already knew her height and had a good guess on her proportions. He did wonder about her large eye but thought that it might be a major hassle if something were to happen to it.

"Alright, I got all your basic data down." Kire said with a large smile. "I think I can make a suit just for your needs and protect that huge eye of yours. Who knows, maybe you'll be of great use. Yeah, I'm sure you'll be of great use to this whole ordeal. I'm almost finished with Jaz's suit so I'll work on yours right away! You'll be capable of so much more but I must ask you, Mioi..." Kire rose to his feet and stood in front of Mioi, holding his robotic hand out.

"I must know if you truly wish to participate or associate yourself with me and my inventions. I'll make things to protect you and enhance your abilities, but I cannot promise your safety. You will be in danger if you hang out with me but I will try my best to keep you and anyone around you safe. It's a lot dangerous than you think and I completely understand if you don't wish to help me... but the decision remain yours, Mioi."

Kire kept his hand out, awaiting Mioi's decision.
 
Gogeta narrowed his eyes.

"What's a probe doing all the way out here? Some kind of survey?"

Darth Marr glance down towards a bare holomap now floating in front of him, depicting the ships of the fleet in pursuit of the small object.

"We can find out from the wreckage."

===================================

The small metal object continued to fly forward, rapidly outclassing Marr's flagship in speed before spiraling upwards.

=========================

Gogeta's eyes widened at the sight of the holomap, red flashes and sirens wailing moments later after the arrival of the massive fleet. Hundreds, if not thousands, of new blips lined the screen in a surrounding force around the gathered ships of the Empire, Republic and Martians. Darth Marr leaned towards the left side of consoles, looking on to the near hundred to one difference in numbers their fleet had against the enemy.

"Evasive maneuvers! Come about 180 degrees!"

The Sith glanced around, the entire ship shaking heavily from impact. Laser fire immediately shot out towards all ships, tearing into even the cloaked Martian ships in orbit. His attention soon diverted to the same officer that discovered the probe, the sectors in each of his screen gradually shifting from blue to red.

"We've been boarded! Weapons, crew decks...all decks are reporting hostile forces!"

Darth Marr rapidly turned towards the group of warriors, his tone urgent.

"We need the strongest warriors to defend the fleet in space, there's too many of them. While the rest of us clear out the enemy boarders."


============================================================

A metal wall near the medical room housing Kire, Jaz, Vegetto, and Mioi suddenly blew outwards in a violent explosion, shaking the adjacent rooms from the impact. Voices shouting followed afterwards, the sound of energy lasers firing through the corridor followed by slowly advancing, white robotic soldiers.

((Also, here's some extra visuals for you guys that want a layout of the flagship:))

Without hesitation, the Martian Ships decloaked and retaliated against the enemy ships, pelting them with their Heat-Rays and explosive Canisters, where possible also firing their Black Smoke Canisters on the exposed parts to smother the hostile crews and disabling weapons and engines, while at the same time sending their attack fighters in an ambush to inflict heavy damage on enemy ships, regardless of armor or shield strength. This showed that the Martians were relentless and were a formidable force in their own right.

The Tenochi-01 also decloaked and proceeded to join the fight, while Brachi, Future Brachi and Future Xenest went to assist the fleet.
 
"My safety has never been guaranteed to begin with. Not to mention already associating with the ones here nearly got my arm sliced off. But I am sure I will manage and adapt. You are offering me a suit to ehance my current abilities, so it will allow me to defend myself. As such, I accept your offer." Mioi grasped Kire's hand, but didn't shake it since she wasn't accustomed to the gesture of handshakes. Once she did, the wall had caved in. 

Immediately, she took hold of her lightsaber and promptly activated it. 
And right before I get the chance to rest or eat... what a nuisance. 

"Your friend is out of commission for now. It's imperative we fend them off. Probably are the ones who invaded Earth. They would be the only probable attackers out here." Mioi fired a warning blast from her eye at the arms of the frontmost soldier in an attempt of a quick disarm. She definitely didn't recognize them.
 
Lily instantly turned towards Solaris.

"Fine. So long as I can remember that spell that allows me to survive in space for a while. Seems like there's quite a bit of ships out there." Solaris said casually. Lily sighed, snapped her fingers, and began yelling at Solaris.

"I don't care about those years you spent inside a coma, all this trip you've been relaxed while AN ENTIRE GALAXY is at stake here. So if you don't wise up and start acting more mature, I'll beat you myself. Understand?" She said. Solaris nodded and looked at Darth Marr.

"Where's the nearest exit into space?" He asked quickly. Kira walked off, talking into Republic communications.

"I want every ship firing at those forces, as if it needed to be said! So do it!" She said.
 
Kire didn't seem all too alarmed by the explosion but knew that Vegetto's current state can cause him grave danger. He hoisted the Emperor on his back, holding him in place by his legs. His back seemed to shoot out some metal cuffs which wrapped around Vegetto's waist, giving Kire free use of his arms. If Vegetto were to wake up in the middle of this mess, he would easily be able to free himself without Kire's aid. Clearly, this man was a robot full of tricks. He seemed to take his first defensive state. He glanced at Jaz. Jaz was already up and by Mioi's side with her blades out already attempting to disarm some of the nearest soldiers. Kire bit his lip and turned his attention to Jaz.

"Defend! Remember Jaz, Mom Always Remembers Injured Allies!" Kire seemed to speak nonsense but as soon as he finished, Jaz's actions were much swifter and much more precise. It was obvious who this was and it made Kire grinned. "Hold them off for a while. That's an order."

Jaz had converted into Red Mist by Kire's rambling but how? How was Kire so easily able to manipulate a creature that was so out of control? Regardless of what magic he had to Jaz he casually walked to the hall which lead him to the others. He called to Mioi. 

"Mioi! You might wanna leave this to Jaz. She'll hold them off for a while, long enough to warn the others." Kire stood, waiting for Mioi. "Come, you'll be better off fighting with the others to help you unless you wish to stay."

Jaz, or rather, Red Mist, rushed to a nearby soldier and palmed the man's arm, causing him to drop his weapon. Grasping the weapon, she quickly aimed it at the man she disarmed and pulled the trigger. Red Mist turned to the other soldiers with the gun in one hand and the other taunting them to attack at her.

"Come."
 
"... Very well. I'll follow your lead." Mioi followed Kire, since she had already seen the capabilities of everyone in the group. She was more concerned if any more would try to intercept them before they would reach the other side. Before she did, she crouched and shoved the granola bar into the space of her boot. I'll eat whatever that is momentarily.

Mioi was preoccupied with trying to guess what kind of attackers were infiltrating the ship. The ones that just busted the wall in weren't like Revan at all since they mainly held pistols. Though there would be trouble if their leader happened to have power similar to Revan's, or had something to do with Earth's primary invaders that managed to kill Goku and Vegeta. If anything, disarming them won't be too difficult. she was used to relatively tight spaces anyway.
