Behold! 'Tis the last update for September! Before reading farther, though...make sure you've voted in October's Story Poll! It closes at 11:59pm on the 30th. Now, with the voting reminder out of the way, onward to talking about the latest release...

Things are starting to accelerate a bit, since I'm focusing on the most relevant parts, rather than showing every battle. That will continue to be a theme as we moved closer and closer to the end game of the story. I'm expecting each month to start covering at least two months of in-universe time, showing critical shifts and flow of the war without bogging us down into nitty gritty detail. Aayla is going to show up as much as Izuku, given that she is the closest thing the story has to a secondary protagonist and she's far more free to move around the galaxy at this point. Though I will still show Izuku as much as possible, particularly as he's a good perspective to provide a view of the overall progression of the war.

That starts in these chapters, with Izuku mostly getting stuck with politics (though he does get one action scene!), while Aayla dives into the Dark Reaper crisis, alongside a special guest at least some of you will like seeing ;-). All while using something I intentionally planted in the story what seems like FOREVER ago, as a plot hook/tool waiting to be used. I also stuck a lemon into this release, mostly because I'm not sure how long it will be before there's a reasonable chance to do so again. The lemon, though, is honestly pretty much an extra. After all, this particular release hit 11,500 words, instead of the usual 10k!

Anyway, as usual, the new stuff is attached here in various formats. Since this is the final Displaced Hero update for September, I will also be updating the Master Files in the pinned post shortly. Likewise, I'll put something author's notes for the chapters in the comments section when I get a few minutes to actually write them :-p. Now go enjoy more Can One Displaced Hero Save the Galaxy?!!

P.S. Finally found a piece of Celeste Fanart that I like. Her art here is by ChaosEmperor 971. Aayla's is, of course, pretty much my favorite of her by AyyaSAP. The Asora art, I sadly no longer have the link for! I could have sworn I had it somewhere, but can't find it in the old posts >_<. The Padmé/Sabé art is an AI generation.

Chapter 156: A/N 1: So, the Maladian Assassins are a group that very nearly managed to killed Hego Demask/Darth Plagueis. Something Palpatine is aware of. They, thus, made for a logical choice for him to attempt to sic on Izuku. Particularly after delving into some of his old Master's research into Sith Alchemy to make something that gave them an edge. He miiiigggghhttt be a little salty with Izuku outting him... A/N 2: Since I consider Legends content to override Disney in 99% of cases, Lando isn't old enough yet to be a leader. Instead, I made it his father that pull something Lando would totally have done. The planet in question IS Lando's canon homeworld, so I felt it fit. We don't actually know his parents names or occupations, but we do know that his mother apparently had a nice singing voice, according to a comment or thought by Lando himself in a single book. A tiny tidbit I turned into a piece of their background here.

Chapter 157: A/N 1: Chasing down information on the Dark Reaper is almost as annoying for me as it is for Aayla and Celeste! Seriously, for all that it features in both canon Clone Wars and old comics, there's very little actual detail on the thing. I'm being forced to make up almost as much as I pull from actual lore -_-. Several bits are lore accurate, though. Including the fact that Nomi's daughter was trainer by Ulic, entered a record about that to the Great Holocron, and his burial site. A/N 2: Lothal is not explicitly listed as having a Star Temple. It's a reasonable assumption, though. Particularly if you consider the fairly bullshit 'world between worlds' in new Disney canon. Replacing that nonsense with a Star Temple seems reasonable. This, also, is something I'd placed a hook for a long (seemingly) time ago with the introduction of the Star Temples AT ALL. I always planted that with the intention of it being a way for a small group to unexpectedly bypass battle lines. Though I will freely admit that I didn't have the EXACT use pinned down. Only that they would be used that way much later in the story ;-). A/N 3: *sigh* Yes, I had Anakin tag along. I may not like him very much, but this version is at least tolerable, and I know a lot of people want him involved in the story to some extent. Since this particular adventure is right up his alley (he was involved in the Clone Wars Dark Reaper Crisis), I figured it was the right place to have him join in for a bit.

Chapter 158: A/N 1: As I said, I don't know how long it will be before I could squeeze another lemon in somewhere and have it make sense ;-). So I shuffled one into the deck here. I also know quite a few people REALLY wanted to see Asora get involved with the group, at least a little. With some of the Hori Crowd wanting her and Eirtaé to have at least a little action with the group. I'm not going to make that a thing, really, as I prefer to focus on healthy long-term relationships, rather than flings. But I figured I could drift CLOSE enough to at least satisfy the Horni Crowd a bit, without actually making the pair a regular fixture, or creating a full-blown fling. Izuku thinking to himself that he wasn't quite comfortable taking it as far as the pair offered is meant to indicate this. That, despite the limits allowing for it, he didn't take them up on 'going all the way' as it were, over the weekend. However, I left it open to interpretation enough for the Hori Crowd to imagine it if they want ;-).

So, the Dovaronian Commodore at the end... Her first name wouldn't be Shannon would it? 😁

Novus's Fanfiction Works

Mayyyybeee. Shannon was always one of my favorite Havenite characters. So when I needed another senior officer for him to interact with, even briefly, I couldn't help myself ;-).

Delphinous

palpatine really is just a petty little bitch when things don't go his way isn't he, lol

Daemonioros

Fun chapters. With a great lemon as well. Those cybernetics just allow for so much creative bedroom uses. Looking forward to just how big the League is going to get towards the end of the clone wars.

Novus's Fanfiction Works

Glad you enjoyed them :-). And yeah, the tech level of Star Wars (or most Sci-fi), means the smut possibilities are almost unlimited. I just try to keep it from overrunning the rest of the fic ;-).

The Foreign Traveler

...the Sith really ARE the definition of insanity aren't they? Why do these bastards and bitches keep thinking that something that FAILED in the past, can work in the present? All I'm seeing is fear AND desperation here Sidious... I'll pray to the Force those'll eventually leave JUST enough of an opening that Izuku and company or the Jedi can exploit it so they can KILL you along with Dooku... Edit 1: ...type that disliked “changed”... ...type that disliked “change”... Edit 2: …just in time “fort” the man... …just in time “for” the man... Not many in this one!

Isn't Asora dating Asaj? Is Asora in a polycule with Eratrè and Ventress?

Novus's Fanfiction Works

*blink* No? I always intended Asora and Eirtae to get together. I don't remember ever even implying that Asajj was dating her?

Hawthorne

When you introduced Asaj as being in a relationship with Asora to give reason why she didn't wind up in the polycule orbiit of the Sovereign. Can't remember which chapter, but you DID write it, It is what's written in QQ.

Novus's Fanfiction Works

Ah, I found it. Yes, there was a single throwaway comment about Asora and Asajj spending time together, in chapter 105. They were never confirmed as an actual couple though, just Aayla and Izuku feeling like they might be headed that way. Given Asajj moved out of the story after being Knighted, I feel it makes sense that they didn't stick together long-term, and the Asora/Eirtae pairing is one I teased/hinted at for a long time, clear back to when I was still doing polls about the harem.
