The Two Tyrant Overlords

The story takes place during EPISODE IV

Eto exited a shuttle and noticed the next departure was Manaan but she saw she had some time to kill.

“Of course the shuttle for Manaan is late.” Eto sighed.

Eto was on the planet Tuntau at one of their spaceports and watched as there was nearby cranes building up new homes.

She noticed four light armored men and women walk up to her.

“You look new here?” The armored female asked.

“I am, why?” Eto asked.

“Newcomers pay a fee, one hundred credits.” The armored female said.

Eto just rolled her eyes.

“I don’t think so.” Eto said.

“Oh but we do.” An armored male said.

“And if I refuse?” Eto asked.

“Then we beat you senseless.” The armored female said.

Eto looked around seeing the civilians walk away from them.

Eto handed them a hundred credits.

“Leave me alone.” Eto said.

“We will, but we will do whatever we want. This is Sanada territory.” The armored male said.

The four of them walked away.

Eto just frowned and stood up walking outside of the spaceport and looked around to see a few signs of a Rykuza Sanada along with recruitment for his Kingdom.

“Rykuza Sanada.” A old woman said to Eto.

“Who is he exactly?” Eto asked her.

“He’s one of the four Tyrant Overlords in the galaxy. He owns this city. The people who encountered you work for him.” The old woman said.

“Tyrant huh? I heard of them, a bad group of individuals.” Eto said.

Eto noticed the old woman had some bruises on her.

“Did you fall?” Eto asked.

The old woman was silent for a moment and sat down on a bench.

“I didn’t pay my debt in time.” The old woman said.

“Debt?” Eto asked.

“The citizens of the city are to pay five hundred credits to live here, along with our rent and sewer bills.” The old woman said.

Eto looked at her for a moment and put her hand on her shoulder.

“They hurt you?” Eto asked.

The old woman nodded.

“They will kill me in a week if I don’t come up with the five hundred I owed them and an extra five hundred with it.” The old woman said.

Eto looked at her and then looked around the small city to see some kids that looked like they was starving and a homeless Krogan that was laying there dead on the street, pickpocketed by the Sanada soldiers.

Eto stood up.

“I will do you all a favor and free you guys.” Eto said.

“My dear, he’s too powerful. He has strange abilities. One ability is his gust of razer wind.” The old woman said.

“Then he won’t see it coming to what I can do.” Eto said.

Eto walked off leaving the old woman shocked and a few starving kids watched Eto go in surprise.

The main building was in the middle of the city, there was sixteen guards outside and two machina’s keeping guard on the street.

Eto took a deep breath and walked out to the middle of the street and headed toward the building.

The guards aimed their guns and the machina’s aimed their large barrel guns at Eto.

“It’s that woman from the spaceport.” The armored female said to the group.

“Guess she wants her money back.” Another armored female said with a grin on her face.

“This is private property, turn back!” A guard shouted.

Eto summoned her appendages and shot two of them off her body and right into the machina’s and covered them in strange goopy blood and brought them down to the ground sticking them in.

The operators of the machina’s leaped out and brought out their blaster pistols.

“The hell?” One guard said confused.

“What sort of power is that.” Another guard questioned.

“Doesn’t matter, attack!” The armored female said.

Eto summoned more appendages and held them in front of her to block the incoming blaster fire and ran toward the group.

All you could hear was gunshots and screaming as Eto took down each guard at a time and the last person she took out was the armored female that took her credits.

Eto knelt down pickpocketing the armored female and got her credits back.

“Now for the clown in charge.” Eto said to herself.

A few citizens saw what happened and began to talk to one another before heading off somewhere.

Eto ran to the building only to be met by Rykuza Sanada himself who sent an airstream right into her stomach and knocked her out into the street.

“Who do you think you are to come here and ruin my Kingdom.” Rykuza said.

Fifty-two soldiers ran out of the building and aimed their guns.

“This is my planet, my people, my property.” Rykuza said.

Rykuza summoned two Rasengan orbs in his palms and both grew in power.

Eto enlarged her appendages and scoffed at him.

“You won’t escape, problem child.” Rykuza said.

Suddenly two blaster bolts hit two of his soldiers and some of the civilians ran toward them with blasters aimed and firing.

“The hell!?” Rykuza said confused.

Eto cocked an eyebrow and grinned looking back at Rykuza.

“Guess you pushed them into a revolution.” Eto said.

“Damn it!” Rykuza shouted.

Rykuza ran at Eto and tried to impale her with the Rasengan’s but Eto jumped and pushed both her feet onto his head and leaped over him turning around and smashing two of her appendages into his chest.

“N-no!” Rykuza said while coughing up blood.

Rykuza fell to the ground where he was met by all of the citizens of the city.

His soldiers was all taken out and he was the only one left, and badly injured.

“L-listen, we can make a deal.” Rykuza said.

The civilians began to beat Rykuza to death and they looked up to Eto.

“You convinced us to rise against him once you destroyed his frontal guards and machina’s.” One man said.

Eto shrugged and walked over to Rykuza’s body taking some credits and walked over to the old woman she met who was standing behind the crowd.

“I believe this is yours.” Eto said handing her two thousand credits from Rykuza’s body.

The old woman smiled and gave Eto a hug.

“T-thanks.” Eto said feeling uneasy about the hug.

Eto saw the shuttle for Manaan enter the sky and head to the spaceport.

“My ride is here so, do with this city as you wish.” Eto said.

The people cheered and raided the main building while Eto headed to the spaceport.

Waiting for her was three Aogiri members.

“Sorry, we are late.” One of them said.

“That’s okay, I had an interesting time here.” Eto said.

“Kill anyone?” Another member asked while chuckling.

“You could say that.” Eto said with a grin.

The four entered the shuttle and the shuttle left to Manaan.
