The Doctor busied herself with typing something in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA little crude, don\u2019t you think?\u201d asked Palpatine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, I\u2019ll need your help in wording it,\u201d replied the Doctor. She gave the Supreme Chancellor the keyboard she was using. \u201cEdit that so it looks like an official order.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Am I understanding correctly,\u201d he said as he looked over the words the Doctor typed, \u201cthat you want someone from a\u2026well, a primitive culture to give that order?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re ALL primitives to the Sontarans!\u201d argued the Doctor. \u201cAnd we\u2019re all going to die unless Zelda has the proper authority needed to give that order to the Clones here!\u201d Palpatine glared at the Doctor, but seeing no better alternative, he fixed the Doctor\u2019s wording so that it was an official General Order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDone,\u201d he said. \u201cBut I will need to inform all Clone Commanders that Zelda has temporary control of the GAR.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGot it,\u201d agreed the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDoctor-!\u201d insisted Zelda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cZelda, all you will need to do is inform the Clones,\u201d said the Doctor, \u201cthat they must execute General Order 151. They\u2019ll do the rest.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDoctor, what\u2019s that circle around the city on that hologram?\u201d asked Tysar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s what Zelda is waiting for,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cWhen that circle is big enough to surround all Sontaran ships, that\u2019s when Zelda tells the Clones to execute General Order 151!\u201d Palpatine then took up a communicator and set it so that all Clone Commanders would hear him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll Clone Commanders, this is the Supreme Chancellor!\u201d he reported. \u201cFor the duration of this battle, you are to obey Princess Zelda of Hyrule! Repeat, Princess Zelda of Hyrule is in command!\u201d All Clone Commanders, while confused, confirmed their orders. That was when Anakin, Ahsoka, and Obi-Wan were practically thrown through the door! They picked themselves up as Stragg and Skarr arrived, their lightsabers bathing the room in blood-red light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHoling up somewhere while others fight your battles for you, Doctor?\u201d cackled Stragg. \u201cHow very like you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t really know me at all, do you?\u201d retorted the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSir!\u201d called Skarr as he saw the hologram. Stragg saw it and scoffed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat is that supposed to be?\u201d he asked as he pointed at the circle. \u201cA time bomb? An energy shield? What good will that do you? It would alter history, as you fear.\u201d The circle then turned green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNow, Zelda!\u201d called the Doctor. Zelda picked up the communicator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll Clones, this is Princess Zelda of Hyrule!\u201d she said. \u201cThe time has come! Execute General Order 151!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt will be done, my Lady,\u201d replied a Clone\u2019s voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRex, what\u2019s General Order 151?\u201d asked Anakin over the comms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ll see in a minute, Sir!\u201d replied Rex. \u201cFrequency uploaded to all comms! Sir, cover your ears!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFrequency?\u201d asked Stragg. \u201cWhat-?\u201d He then heard a loud shrieking noise erupting from Anakin\u2019s comms. Skarr heard the same and both Sontarans doubled over in pain, clutching their heads and screaming in agony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDoctor, what\u2019s going on?!\u201d yelped Tysar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSomething I accidentally discovered on Samur!\u201d replied the Doctor. She then checked the security feeds and saw that the Sontarans were experiencing the same pain as their commanders with the Clones taking the Sontarans\u2019 weapons from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDOCTOR!\u201d wailed Stragg in pain. \u201cWHAT\u2026HAVE YOU\u2026DONE?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYOU ARE\u2026HURTING US!\u201d howled Stragg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think that\u2019s enough, Zelda!\u201d called the Doctor as she took the Sontaran Siths\u2019 lightsabers and blasters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll Clones, order fulfilled! Cease now!\u201d ordered Zelda. The noise stopped as the Clones obeyed. Stragg and Skarr groaned in pain as they recovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDoctor, what did you do?!\u201d asked Palpatine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI caused the Clones\u2019 communicators to bounce a signal off the Sontarans\u2019 mothership, keying it to the Sontarans\u2019 consciousness,\u201d explained the Doctor. \u201cThe resulting feedback reverberated right into the Sontarans\u2019 mid-brain by way of the probic vents on the backs of their necks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou\u2026did that\u2026deliberately!\u201d panted Stragg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOn Samur, it was an accident,\u201d said the Doctor. \u201cI had to recall what I did with Sontaran communicators very quickly. Let me tell you, the roar of battle almost made me forget all about it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRaise your arm, my apprentice!\u201d Stragg hissed to Skarr. \u201cLet\u2019s see how much lightning she can take!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith\u2026pleasure, Sir!\u201d replied Skarr as he raised his hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI wouldn\u2019t do that, Stragg,\u201d warned Anakin. \u201cNot while any of us could use the signal at any moment and plunge all the Sontarans into mental agony.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOf course,\u201d remarked Palpatine with the usual disarming smile politicians are infamous for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Hold your fire, Skarr,\u201d growled Stragg, realizing that Anakin would probably be the first to use that signal if any of his troops or allies were attacked. \u201c\u2026What do you want, Doctor?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI want you to return to your original point in space-time!\u201d demanded the Doctor. \u201cYou, your apprentice, your troops, your ships and technology, they all have to leave this galaxy in this time and never return until the end of this galaxy\u2019s history!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026You won\u2019t stop us from returning at a point in time when the Jedi and Sith fail?\u201d asked Stragg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026No,\u201d replied the Doctor. Stragg and Skarr grinned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Very well,\u201d said Stragg. \u201cLet me call my troops.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>For his part, Stragg upheld his end of the bargain. When all the technology was returned to the Sontarans, they boarded their ships and left Kamino, then left the galaxy and time altogether. \u201cDoctor, that was a brave thing you did,\u201d said Palpatine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Supreme Chancellor is right,\u201d agreed Anakin. \u201cYou should help us. We\u2019d win the war quicker with you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThank you, but I can\u2019t,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cI\u2019ve got to get Zelda back and my involvement in your war at this time is dangerous enough as it is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cVery well, we cannot stop you,\u201d said Palpatine as the Doctor brought Tysar and Zelda back to the TARDIS. \u201cFarewell.\u201d The Doctor replied with a terse wave and she and her companions entered the TARDIS. The doors shut and the TARDIS took off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>The Doctor leaned against one of the console room\u2019s walls and sighed in relief. \u201cThat\u2026was too close!\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDoctor, what\u2019s supposed to happen to all those Clones?\u201d asked Tysar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Tragedy for the entire galaxy,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cA year later, Palpatine seduces Anakin to the Dark Side, replacing Count Dooku as his apprentice. He then enacts General Order 66, the utter extermination of the Jedi Order. After which, Anakin and Obi-Wan duel and Obi-Wan wins but leaves Anakin on the choking lava world of Mustafar. Having lost so many limbs, been burned horribly, and his breathing permanently damaged, Palpatine, having restructured the Republic into the Galactic Empire and declared himself the Emperor, rescues Anakin, but traps him in a cybernetic suit, thus turning Anakin fully into his cyborg apprentice, Darth Vader. Meanwhile, Obi-Wan, the former Jedi Grandmaster, Yoda, and other stray survivors go into hiding. Ahsoka Tano and a few clones like Rex that did not obey Order 66 thanks to damage to their inhibitor chips hold out for a time. Ahsoka becomes a gray Jedi, one who can safely use both aspects of the Force without the dogma of either Jedi or Sith, and she attains the rank of master in her own way. Meanwhile, Anakin\u2019s children are separated, his daughter being raised by the Organas of Alderaan while his son is raised by Owen and Beru Lars on Tatooine where Obi-Wan keeps watch as Ben Kenobi. Nineteen years later, Alderaan is destroyed by the Empire\u2019s new super-weapon, galvanizing the Alliance to Restore the Republic into action as well as causing Anakin\u2019s children, Luke and Leia, to meet. The Battle of Yavin results in the super-weapon being destroyed, the first event that leads to the Empire\u2019s downfall at the Battle of Endor. But Imperial remnants flock together and become the First Order, causing terror in the galaxy and sparking another resistance. It\u2019s discovered that Palpatine survived after Vader, returning to the Light Side thanks to Luke\u2019s efforts, used his final moments to overthrow Palpatine. Palpatine\u2019s secret granddaughter, Rey, overcame her grandfather at Exegol later in the galaxy\u2019s history and, through destroying Palpatine and the Sith remnants there, practically reset the Force now that both Jedi and Sith are gone.\u201d The Doctor panted after that history lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026So while turmoil still plagues the galaxy,\u201d Zelda summed up, \u201cpeace DOES eventually come about.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cExactly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Well, Doctor,\u201d said Zelda, \u201cI believe I need to ensure the peace of Hyrule.\u201d By then, the TARDIS beeped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSounds like you\u2019re about to get there soon!\u201d chuckled Tysar. The Doctor keyed in a command on the console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere we are!\u201d she said. \u201cAll right, Zelda, back to Hyrule!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGoodbye Doctor!\u201d called Zelda. The Doctor pressed a button and Zelda faded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026I know this is a long shot, but is the Grouping over?\u201d asked Tysar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI doubt it, but let\u2019s check with Gallifrey,\u201d replied the Doctor. She then made a call. \u201cThis is the Doctor, contacting Gallifrey. Gallifrey, come in please.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGallifrey receiving, Grandfather,\u201d replied a voice. Susan\u2019s face then appeared. Tysar gasped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s still around?!\u201d she gasped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGrandfather, is that the Thal I heard about behind you?\u201d asked Susan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt sure is!\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cShe was a Grouping victim. Landed on Earth in the 21st century. She\u2019s helping me with the Grouping right now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, Grandfather,\u201d said Susan, \u201cI\u2019m afraid things have gotten worse. Multiple chronal surges are centered around specific points in space and time. One point can have three chronal surges centered around it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDrat. Sorry Tysar, but it looks like it\u2019s getting worse.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, we\u2019ll have to fix it,\u201d sighed Tysar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAlthough, Grandfather,\u201d said Susan, \u201cwe HAVE determined something.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh?\u201d asked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt looks like the surges are because of something trying to escape an anti-matter universe, that\u2026Under-verse, I think it was called.\u201d The Doctor\u2019s eyes went wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026He\u2019s trying to break out!\u201d she whispered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDoctor?\u201d asked Tysar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSusan, I know what\u2019s going on now!\u201d said the Doctor. \u201cI\u2019ll send a hyper-cube about it as soon as I can!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cVery well, Grandfather. Good luck,\u201d bid Susan. The Doctor ended the call and worked the console feverishly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s coming back,\u201d she muttered. \u201cDrat it all! I knew it was too easy at the end of that Reality War!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDoctor, will you please explain what\u2019s got you so worried?!\u201d urged Tysar. \u201cAre you telling me you know who\u2019s behind the Grouping?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026A Time Lord. \u2026One of the first. \u2026An old friend of Rassilon\u2019s. \u2026Omega!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cDoctor, it might help if we knew what you were doing!\u201d hissed Tysar as she and Zelda were in the room Palpatine and the Doctor were.
