Alright! Time for the first Displaced Hero release of September! Do make sure you didn't miss the Monthly Extra that was released on the 10th, though! The extras are always in an odd place, schedule wise, inserted randomly between other releases...

Anyway! This particular release of Displaced Hero is a bit of an odd one, as we barely see Izuku's perspective at all. That's largely because I felt we needed a more shotgun spray of perspectives from all sides to get a clear snapshot of how the war had progressed to this point. It's a bit over three months into the Clone Wars, after all! Never fear, most of the perspectives are still familiar ones which I think everyone will enjoy, and I'm planning for both Aayla and Izuku to have separate perspectives in the second monthly release on the 28th. :-)

As always, the new content is attached to the post in various formats! A quick reminder, I'm only updating the Master Files with the second release each month, in order to limit the mess that is my own Master File copies. So, for now, this is the only place to find the new chapters :-). Author's notes will follow in the comments when I have the time. Enjoy the latest release of 'Can One Displaced Hero Save a Galaxy?'!

P.S. If it isn't obvious, the human in the images is the Wookieepeida arts for Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy. While the Twi'lek is Sasha (Codename Vixen). I decided since she's a repeat character I should get at least some AI art for her.

Chapter 153: A/N 1: An Ahsoka perspective! Finally! Her perspective won't be overly common, but it WAS what inspired me to make an entire chapter dedicated to useful perspectives from various Padawans around the galaxy. A/N 2: Even if I don't care much for him, I know a lot of people always want to know what's going on with Anakin. So I figured this was a good time to peek in on him again. As you can see, he's doing MUCH better than in canon. The combination of less trauma (his mom is alive and he's been in regular contact with her for years), some reality checks (the security lectures and Palpatine getting outted), and not being prematurely knighted (he's a solid year and a half older with some useful additional perspectives having had influence on him), have all led to a much healthier-in-mind Anakin. To the point the Council is happy to knight him properly, rather than a battlefield promotion. He still lost a limb, though. He's a Force Sensitive Skywalker. It's tradition. A/N 3: Barriss. While Barriss's canon storyline is honestly one of the better examples of the writers managing to capture the costs of the war for the Jedi, with someone who was naturally a healer being broken to the point they go crazy and flip to the darkside...I always wished for a better end for her. The fact she's actually right around Anakin's age, and there's a very good excuse for the Council to have smacked her Master on the head and told her to get on with Knighting her? Well, I felt it would work out nicely to get her and Anakin on a collision path. While still a Jedi, Barriss is actually a lot like Padme. An idealistic healer who CAN and WILL fight if she has to, but prefers diplomacy. I feel this version of her is honestly a good fit for him. A/N 4: Tallisibeth is a canon (EU at least) character! Here she mostly served as a vector to highlight both the Republic's current battles...and initiatives that Yoda put into place. Her weak connection to the Force is canon for her, so throwing her at Ossus, where that can be fixed? Good diplomacy on the sneaky Grandmaster's part!

Chapter 154: A/N 1: I really enjoyed writing the seen with disappointed Shaak Ti :-p. Aayla, Zavra, and Mei MIGHT have had a bit of an influence on her...

Chapter 155: A/N 1: Hey...I'm not the type of writer that lets the Good Guys just Curb Stomp all the baddies :-p. So of course the CIS has been up to something while it LOOKED like the Republic was managing to hold them off... A/N 2: The return of Secret Agent Tits! Errr...Sasha/Vixen! I embedded (*snicker*) her in Kuat via Blissex some time ago. I have no idea how many of you even remember me doing that, but it DID serve a purpose. As it gives us a view, now, inside the higher-levels of Kuat and how some things are shaking out. What they are doing with the new weapons from the League. What new designs are ready to roll out (the Victory-class being in full production), ect. A/N 3: Yep, Greivous is back and pissed of. But it's Mace who's earned himself a rival this time, instead of Obi-wan... A/N 4: Proving once again that Bail is no one's fool and knows exactly what the League is up to. He's counting on it, in fact. A/N 5: Oh hey, there's Celeste! She got bogged down on Kamino for a while, but her real self-appointed task is the destruction of the Sith and all their works. So if anyone was going to figure out what they've been up to, it's her...

i love how both Dooku and Sideous are both utterly convinced that they are fully in control of themselves and the other is basically being wielded by the darkside. Also, in the future, the Jedi really need to adopt a policy of destroying dark-side artefacts and weapons that they defeat, instead of just burying them and forgetting about them, because it ALWAYS comes back to bite them later lol

Thanks for another great update 😁! Some interesting things are seen in the different POV's, like Anakin getting interested in Barriss 🥳! I look forward to seeing what happens next and I will be keeping me eyes open for the next update!

Robert Lemanski

Often the problem with doing that is that a lot of Dark-side things can't really be destroyed. They either are too durable, would cost too many lives to do so, or something worse would rise from the ashes. The Ancient Sith built stuff to last. After all, a side effect of fully intending to attain immortality is wanting your cool shit to last through the ages with you. But yeah, the "and forgetting about them" bit is definitely a failure of the Jedi.

Robert Lemanski

Excellent chapters. :) Alternate POV sections are my crack cocaine, especially in stories with larger and more immersive settings. :) :) If we're 3 months into the Clone Wars, roughly what % would you say of Clone Wars content for this story does mean has been written? :) :) :)

Novus's Fanfiction Works

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure. I have a rough outline of how they will progress, but I'm a lot less sure of how long it will take. I'm expecting it to last at roughly two full in-universe years, but we'll be jumping forward through parts of it fairly fast, just as we already have. Possibly more so. The story is also likely to end before everything is 100% cleaned up in the aftermath, with the Epilogue covering the cleanup after the major victories are decided.

Novus's Fanfiction Works

@Delphinous Yeah, I'm REALLY not sure why they don't just dump a lot of them into a black hole or something. The Maw Cluster seems like a great solution for many of them... @Robert Lemanski I actually have less of an issue with them forgetting about them. The Jedi have nearly been wiped out at least TWICE (possibly more) since the Force Harvester/Dark Reaper was built, for example. Their main archives were damaged even more often than that. When thousands of years can go by with them undisturbed, and with so MANY Force artifacts out there from a dozen different wars, trying to keep track of them all would be hard. Doubly so as they occasionally removed the knowledge on purpose in an attempt to REALLY bury something so it couldn't be found again. \

Really like these differing perspectives. Bariss and Anakin would be a great pairing. Had to look up if Mirialians and Humans can have kids per canon (it's not all near humans, twilek yes, togruta no for example). And turns out they can. So kids for Anakin could still happen (though I genuinly think he's better of without them). Also have always loved the Vixen perpectives. Such a great way to show intelligence operations in a realistic way.

Novus's Fanfiction Works

I'm glad you liked them :-). Gotta admit I didn't think to check for kid compatibility. Mostly since it would only really matter for the story epilogue. I'll file the thought away for possible use then, though ;-).

NGL, first thought seeing the accompanying images was, "Why does Ahsoka have neko-mimi?"
