Marvel crosses Star Wars, and everyone attacks the galaxy

In a turbulent war, it is particularly important to reorganize strategies and plan the next move, because it is the key to victory. In the vast galaxy, the rampage of Ultron seems to herald the possibility of an unspoken ceasefire, allowing people to focus on greater threats.

However, a hidden threat seeks to keep the war between the Republic and the Separatists going. On one side is a millennium-old plan to bring its grand vision to bear on the galaxy, and on the other is a plan that will ultimately lead to the extinction of all life. The struggle between the two will continue until one side wins and the other loses.

Now, in the flames of war in the Sulust system, the struggle for survival between the Republic and the Separatists rages, their forces clashing to determine who will gain control of the expanded territory or keep it isolated from the enemy.

In this fierce battle, Asajj Ventress, a cunning assassin under Count Dooku, stands out. She flies her unique starship across the battlefield, leading vicious attacks and shooting down fighter after fighter.

In this fight, she had more opportunities to show her prowess. Although the rules of the fight had become stricter due to recent events, she didn't care. Dark Jedi and Sith assassins were sent out on missions, which was what they excelled at. For her, this was the most important thing.

Asajj's ship, the Banshee, was spinning around the battlefield, shooting down some Republic fighters. Her robot ships were blocking some of the enemy's attacks for her. She gave orders decisively: "Trident Group One, attack the starboard engine. Trident Group Two, destroy their port shield generator. I will go straight for their command bridge."

Under her command, the droid ships quickly carried out their mission. Watching the battle unfold before her eyes, Asajj rushed forward with her ship, taking advantage of the existing advantage to launch an attack. When there were no more obstacles blocking her way, she flew low and fired a barrage of fire at the exposed areas of the Republic ship.

As she flew away from the battlefield, the smoke of war continued to spread... A loud noise cut through the sky, announcing that the fate of the enemy ship was imminent, and perhaps about to come to an end.

Meanwhile, in Count Dooku's mansion on Serenno, the Separatist leader was busy with several important matters.

First, he was reviewing reports on the state of the war, territorial expansion, and the problems caused by Ultron. Since the arrival of Ultron, many original plans and efforts have been derailed and thrown into the mist. The advanced robot seemed to have uncovered many hidden secrets that he tried to hide from his supporters and others in the Separatist Council.

As a result, they had to work around the clock to solve these problems, but were only partially successful.

This raises another question - Ultron's subversion of Sidious' plans.

As Ultron's grand plan reshapes the galaxy, Dooku begins to have doubts about his Sith Master's philosophy and strategy for dealing with the current problems.

Unfortunately, Sidious was too stubborn to make changes while considering putting his grand plan on hold, which made the Count realize that Sheev Palpatine would be the key to their downfall, whether the Sith Lord knew it or not.

Dooku therefore had to formulate a new plan. He demanded that his forces be prepared so that he could strike a decisive blow and get rid of Sidious once and for all. To achieve this goal, he required his apprentices and acolytes to train more intensively, hoping to one day become stronger opponents capable of overwhelming Palpatine.

Dooku also put in a lot of work in his free time, even making Sora Bulke more rigorous in his training regimen. They even allowed the Acolytes access to the holotragon Dooku had collected over the years to expand their knowledge and skills in preparation for the eventual coup against Sidious. They were even allowed limited access to one of the precious artifacts in his collection: a holotragon believed to have mastered the immortal Sith Lord Darth Anderdu.

As for the reason for "restricted access", it is because Darth Anderdu's holographic dragon possesses a special skill - soul transfer, and Dooku does not want any acolyte to learn this skill.

In this tense atmosphere, Count Dooku and his team are working hard to prepare for future battles in the hope of ultimately achieving their goal - to get rid of Sidious' shadow.

Looking back at history, thousands of years ago, Darth Bane had extracted all the secrets of "essence transfer" from the heretic holographic dragon. Now all that remains is a superficial description of the ability. Only the passage of time can verify whether the training received by the dark monks is effective.

At this time, Dooku was taking a break from his busy work, and suddenly, Sidious' call broke the silence. He immediately knelt down and responded to the holographic communication respectfully.

"Tyrannus." came Sidious' voice.

"My Lord," Dooku replied humbly.

Although Dooku had the ambition to overthrow Palpatine, he had to remain an obedient apprentice in front of Sidious.

"I feel an abnormal fluctuation in the Force." Sidious said slowly.

Dooku's brows raised, confusion evident on his face.

Sidious continued, "We need more specific intelligence, not just what is happening within the galaxy."

"What's going on?" Dooku asked.

"There are many matters involved, but the most important one at the moment is your assassin."

"Ventress? What happened to her?" Dooku asked confusedly.

“She’s become very powerful.”

Dooku couldn't help but smile proudly. "Yes, my lord. She is very important to me."

This is no lie, Asajj Ventress plays a key role in the Count's coup plans and is the most powerful asset in the Separatist army.

Not only that, but Dooku now viewed the assassin as a talented apprentice, on the same level as the two he once had when he was a Jedi Master: Komari Vosa and Qui-Gon Jinn.

If all goes well, and once Sidious's problems are properly resolved, Dooku intends to grant the title of Darth to Ventress.

“Her importance cannot be overstated.”

When Dooku said this, his eyes suddenly widened in disbelief, and he quickly understood Sidious's intention.

He called out respectfully: "Master——"

However, all he got in return was a cold command: "Be quiet! Listen carefully. I can sense that her power is beyond our expectations. I can't imagine that you are secretly training your disciples to fight against me."

Dooku knew that if he resisted now, he would lose everything, including himself. Therefore, he had no choice but to give in and lie to his master to show his loyalty. "I am loyal to you, only to you, and so are the dark acolytes." The Count answered firmly.

Sidious stared at him, then said, "You must prove your loyalty, then. Get rid of her."

Dooku struggled internally, trying to find a way to fight this order, but he knew resistance was futile.

Sidious continued, "She has grown into a force that cannot be ignored, and she will become even more powerful. As we face greater tasks, we cannot afford to be lax or careless. Do you understand, my apprentice?"

Dooku gritted his teeth and bowed his head, showing no emotion to Sidious. "As you command, my lord," he finally whispered.

After the transmission, Dooku needed to consider his next move carefully. He knew that if his master thought he could tolerate such a betrayal, he might become an old man even more cunning than the Dark Lord. Therefore, he had to act with caution to ensure his future.
