Chapter 23: War

--Months around the ambush--

The influence that the Death Watch once had in the main city began to fade. Fear that once scared the civilians disappeared. Mandalorians new and old started fighting back, reports from across the city flooded the planet's police force. Death Watch activities have been announced dishonorable and cowardly. The biggest name to date Diesel himself, called out Death Watch.

All sorts of leads appear out of nowhere and most seemed to come from the same person. A "war" on terrorism has been called. Warehouses, hideouts, everything was destroyed. It was then the leader of Death Watch announced himself.

"Hello, people of Madalore, I'm Concordia's Governor Pre Vizsla Leader of Death Watch. I'll admit Death Watch activities haven't been received the greatest by the public. I did what was needed for the sake of our people. The current pacifism government has allowed for our ancestors to be dishonored! I shall not allow it! I present to all Mandalorians out their the Dark Saber represent the leader of the Mandalorian. I'm Mandalor. I call all warriors to return and take back our home! Our History!"

--Mandalor Palace--

"Oh no..." Satine was in shock, she couldn't believe her people would more then likely go into another Civil War.

"Duchess Satine, this happened because you took too long and allowed the Death Watch to grow, even allowing your sister to join."

"Diesel! This happened because all of you came here!"

"How senile are you? You really think they wouldn't have done this later? All that happened was us expediting the war. If you dont respond soon though, it's gonna be even worse. Padme, we will help Duchess Satine bring down Death Watch. Contact Naboo, from the sounds of things our ships are done, they'll be a huge asset.

"Ships?! You will not use ships on our worlds!"

"Duchess you completely misunderstand, we are not gonna attack anyone using them we will be tactically deploying troops."

"Tactically deploying troops? What does that mean?"

"The short version, using the ships to deploy troops in strategic locations."

"Sir. If I may?"

"Go ahead Ril'ah"

"We should have both you and the Duchess be present at the speech, the Duchess having you as a backer will deter some from joining Death Watch side. Also, if i might be so bold in stating yourself as the Mandalorian candidate."

"HIM!?!"

"Of course. In return you'll be allowed to run Mandalor how you see fit, of course things will have to change. As we don't wish for another civil war. Obviously, Naboo and Mandalor will become permanent allies, Unless you have someone else that can completely crush a man in full armor? With Diesel you'll have your peace sooner rather than later."

The room got extremely quiet, and many things were discussed. If one did not wish to partake in war they were not required to. Other than war things like technology, economics, and medical were discussed. Ril'ah even wanted more Military Academies to be built. The pacifist would be allowed to express their opinion on daily life and would not be allowed to stop possible military matters. These talks continue on until they needed to make the announcement the rest can be cleaned up on a later date

--Shortly After Satine/Diesel making the announcement--

*Duchess Satine*

"People of Mandalore, I'm Duchess Satine. Please don't allow Pre Vizsla speech influence you, He has led Death Watch to kill innocents! He claims honor yet, all he has done is Dishonored the people mindless killing. He's nothing but a fake. A true Mandalorian would never harm the innocent, there is no honor in killing someone who can't fight."

"I bring you someone who has been fighting against all odds, with recent huge victories! Diesel of Naboo, Of Clan Spartan! He hasn't led innocents to their death, He rallied a peaceful world to fight Trade Federation invaders."

**Diesel**

"Hello, my fellow Mandalorians! I'm Diesel, I come today to become Mandalor; it has not been my goal. But recently because of the Death Watch it has become my duty for not only my Clan but for my people. How can a man who hid from the public's view be trusted as a leader of his people? Just because he has some dinky sword? What has he done other than hide from the public's eye?"

"Remember your history, Remember your creed, our culture. Just because you've been leading peaceful lives doesn't make you weak. The bounds you've created the beliefs you may have, the creed that we share. It is ever evolving, just like our weapons, our lives, our culture. Remember the days, when we were nothing but a small tribe. We are born to fight, we are born to evolve to adapt to change! Remember that! It's time for us to protect our birthrights and not become slaves to a false Madalore. NOW FIGHT WITH ME."

--Bo-Katan residence--

"Bo what do you think? Honestly, I much prefer Diesel over Vizsla."

"Khae it seems my sister is stepping up, She knows she cannot compete as Mandalor, so she's using Diesel as a replacement. They both are right, Diesel is much more of a proper Mandalorian then Vizsla is. Pack up let's head home."
