Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

This monster was LARGE. Larger than any ship they could imagine. No, this monster was easily the size of 10 ships combined. Its singular, red eye glowed in the dark night, glaring at the opposing army that dared to stand in its way. Its large, sharp teeth looked like the size of a small cruiser and looked sharp enough to shred one to pieces. Its titanic, spiky head eclipsed the moon, which, much to the horror of the audience, looked quite shattered. Sprouting from its back resembled a large conch shell with many deadly spikes. To finish off its looming, powerful look, ten large tails that stretched for miles waved mockingly at them from behind its back, looking like it could decimate mountains with a single, lazy swing.

Emerged from the monster's head was a pale woman, who looked awfully like the two brothers. She had long, sweeping white hair that almost matched her skin, with two horns that protruded from her skull, giving her a rabbit-like look. Her two, milky eyes, which glared at her opponents, greatly resembled the ones belonging to one of the brothers, but unlike that brother, she had a third eye that greatly resembled the other brother's third one. Much like her sons, she wore a high-collared kimono, with tomoes running down the center and the edges of her gown, finished off with intricate gold and purple lines.

"So that's Kaguya Ōtsutsuki." Raven said, watching the woman who was in control of the Ten-Tailed Beast. "So she consumed the so-called 'Chakra fruit' that was touched by the Force…and now she wishes to leave this planet."

"Happen, we cannot allow," Yoda stated, giving a rather dark glare at the woman.

"I couldn't agree more." The leader of Mandalore growled as he pulled out what looked to be a lightsaber hilt. Activating the weapon, it made a high-pitched sound as the flat, black plasma blade ignited. This was the Darksaber, a prideful weapon created by the current Mand'alor, who was also the leader of this clan.

He turned to his warriors, raising his blade in the air. "For Mandalore!" He activated his jetpack as he flew into battle, with all of his followers charging as well with a roar, attacking the beast from the air.

By his command, Mandalorian, Republic, and Sith ships flew in, firing at the strange, plant-like men on the ground, as well as the behemoth itself.

"Mandalorians..." Raven ignited his red lightsaber with a chuckle. "No wonder Kato's clan is one of the fiercest and most respected clans of the galaxy."

"Strong he is, no doubt. Reckless he is as well." Yoda smirked.

"Enough talk, we must end this before she's gained enough power to execute that insane plan of hers." Revan said, before turning to his followers. "Charge!"

A roar of determination sent a shockwave of the dark side through the battlefield, sending a boost of morale amongst the allies as the sith lords and apprentices charges against the monster and the plant-like minions.

Revan turned to the small Jedi and nodded, before sprinting towards the beast as well, leaving Yoda with the other remaining Jedi and soldiers, who were still good to fight.

"Commander." One of the Republic troopers with his helmet on walked up to the Jedi. "Are we going in?"

"Go now, we shall. Fight, we must."

"You heard him, men!" The Republic trooper turned to his men. "For the Republic!" He took charge as hundreds of remaining soldiers went on the attack as several other Jedi Masters and Knights followed them.

The Mandalorians, who were still flying in the air, fired their rockets at the beast's head, while also taking care to avoid the tails that were trying to swat them out of the sky. The unlucky ones were sent flying painfully into the dirt, while the luckier ones lived to fight for a few more minutes. The beast, meanwhile, had to protect its head, else its master would be blown to bits.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The ten-tailed beast roared in pain and anger as its hands, which were protecting the rabbit goddess, were burnt and blown to bits. Hissing, it began to cover itself with its tails in an effort to protect Kaguya.

Unfazed, the leader of the Mandos landed on one of the tails, slashing it with his Darksaber. Roaring, it moved to crush the pest that dared to stand on its tail.

"Absorb this." The leader said, shoving a thermal detonator into the wound, before dropping himself, flying away from the tails as it exploded, successfully severing a part of the tail while critically damaging another.

Meanwhile, on the ground, the sith jumped upwards onto the beast's arms and using the force to boost his movement and anchor himself to the beast's skin, he ran on the Tailed Beast's body before jumping on its back, plunging their blades into the Ten-Tailed beast, hoping to bring damage to it.

It, however, only served to piss it off, slamming its fists to the ground, causing a small earthquake and making some of those Siths fall off the back of the beast or retreat from it. Some of those who fell down met their demise when the monster slammed his fist into a group of them. It tried to slam another group of Siths but got the full power of electrocution against its head.

That came from Revan, who unleashed a wave of Force Lightning from his hand, shocking the beast and Kaguya with enough power to stun them both for the moment.

The beast quickly recovered from that shock, but those few seconds was all the allies needed, with the giant monstrosity taking a full blast of a few rockets into its face, one nearly hitting its eye.

That came from the Republic troops, who were firing everything they've got onto the monster, hoping it would take them down while the remaining Jedi used the force to try and levitate the wounded Mandalorians and even the Sith to safety and away from the beast.

It was clear though, that even with the bravery and cooperation of the three different groups, their numbers were dropping fast. They already lost a great of number of their own, and they were about to lose a lot more unless effective action was taken against the beast.

Realizing this, Yoda ran up to where the two brothers Hagoromo and Hamura had landed after a rather nasty swipe from one of the creature's tails.

"Hagoromo, Hamura."

The two brothers turned around and saw the tiny Jedi Knight.

"Yoda-san, it's good to see you alive." Hamura smiled.

"With luck, I survived. Many did not, my master included." Yoda stated with sorrow. "Defeat this beast, how do we?"

"I am terribly sorry for your loss, Yoda-san." Hagoromo lowered his head in shame and respect. His moment of silence quickly ended as he turned back to his mother, who had just shot down a Republic ship, sending it crashing into a Sith's battleship. "There may be only one way to defeat our mother and end her reign of terror, and that would be by sealing her away. There is, however, an unfortunate catch."

"What is it?"

"Someone needs to knock her off her trance and distract her long enough for us to get close to her." Hamura said with a scoff "Only problem is that even if someone got close to her, she'll show no mercy and strike you down with her Byakugan and hit all your fatal points."

"We will both have to make physical contact with our mother in order to place our seal upon her. However, anybody who gets too close to her will undoubtedly be slain, so she'll have to be sufficiently distracted or stunned for us to make our move."

A nearby wounded Jedi overheard this, and asked, "By that you mean-"

"Whoever serves as the distraction will most likely never make it back alive." Hagoromo stated grimly. A dark silence then filled the air, save for the sounds of battle and the roars of the demonic creature.

Just then, two Mandalorians landed behind them, with one of them being wounded and the other helping the other to their feet.

"And will save the galaxy from grave danger…" The wounded Mandalorian warrior grunted, before slowly standing up by himself. "I'll do it."

He tried to stand on his own feet, but his injured leg couldn't support its owner, causing him to stumble. "I'll distract her."

"No you won't, Wren."

The two Mandalorians turned around to see their great leader land and walk up to them. "If someone's going to distract that woman, it'll be me." The wielder of the Darksaber pointed his thumb to himself.

"A-are you sure about this?" Hagoromo asked, not sure whether to be impressed or concerned for his choice.

"Very." Kato said grimly, staring at the wounded and the fallen. "I brought my people here to fight. I am their leader, and therefore, every victory, every loss, and every death falls on my hands. As leader of Mandalore, it is my duty to lead the way."

"No, Kato!" The wounded Mandalorian named Wren protested. "I won't let you die. Let me do it!"

"It is alright, brother." Kato placed his hand on the warrior's shoulder. "I know what I am doing, and I know the risk. However, if it means that I can give those two a chance to stop their mother's reign of terror, then so be it. Besides, you cannot sacrifice yourself. Your wife will be having your child soon."

"She can take care-"

"And leave the baby without a father?" Kato asked his friend, getting no answer in response. "Your child needs to be raised by a father who will give him love. Give them the experience you didn't have."
