What's up Gears? And Welcome to my Gears of War/Star Wars the Clone Wars fanfiction, COG of the Clone Wars!

Now I will admit this right now, doing Star wars stories is something completely new to me, and I will try to do my best with it. Now I've been playing a lot of Gears of War recently, like Horde 3.0 in Gears of War 4, Completing Gears of War 1 on insane with my brother in Co-op and still planning on doing the other 4 games.

It has given me a lot of inspiration to do this and get this plot bunny out of the way. Now I must remind you that in the testing stage, if I can get 5 reviews that are constructive an positive I will continue it. I apologise if it feels a bit rushed but this the best I could come up with and I figured Starting at the second battle of Geonosis was as good as any.

When I look in the section of these two crossing over I don't see much in it. I hope this will make up for the lack of stories in this section.

Now enough outta me, I hope you enjoy this piece of work I've put together!

COG of the Clone Wars

Gears of war/Star wars the Clone Wars

Prologue: Are YOU ready for war?

If there is one thing about an army is that you can make hundreds, thousands or even millions of expendable soldiers to fight your battles, but having quality over quantity is something I can really agree on if the choice was there in front of me. Machines and slaves don't win wars they only prolong them and usually battles are fought other than the battlefield itself. But hey what do I know right? I'm no soldier or "Jarhead" as the military term calls them.

Or that's what I told myself before this happened.

It was just a normal weekend for me playing Gears of War 4 Horde mode, mowing down unfortunate DB's and Swarm Drones with my MK.2 Lancer with either bullets or the very scary Chainsaw Bayonet which was used to saw motherfuckers in half if they got too close. I usually play the game mode that lets you go to just 25 out of the 50 rounds since going all the way to the full 50 rounds is something I feel needs to be done with friends and in a private game. I mean don't get me wrong I got nothing against it, it's just that I can get more out of the Horde mode if I just go halfway. Then I can just get back into it and go another 25 rounds.

Plus it was a good way to get some Horde Booster packs with the Credits I've earnt during the matches. When it comes to Gears of War Multiplayer, I'm more of a PVE rather than a PVP player since I like working together with other people rather than against them. Also whenever I look at Gears PVP, everyone just seems to use the Gnasher Shotgun and nothing else. I may not have played much of Gears of War 3's multiplayer, but I bet the Sawed Off Shotgun really pissed people off, just gonna point that out there.

Anyway, I had just finished the match and was going to buy some packs with the bunch of credits I had saved up for some time. Until I saw a small icon on the store menu screen, it was next to the season pass and I knew that wasn't there before. I went to the menu that was supposed to be new but all I saw was the Gears of War Omen symbol in the middle. This just made me raise a brow and moved the control stick on my controller and daw the Omen was selected, I pressed A and waited for anything to happen but the Store menu went away. I went back to it and saw that the unknown menu had disappeared.

"Ok what the hell?" I said to myself and just shook my head and turned off console and decided to go to bed, it's nearly 1 in the morning and wanted to get some shuteye and sleep-in since it's the weekend.

I felt restless and figured that something that was off. I slowly opened my eyes and found that I wasn't in my bed but a different one. I looked at my surroundings and saw it was more of a crew quarters than anything. I slowly got out of the bed and decided to take a look around. I walked through the hallways and saw several pieces of equipment which were mining helmets, I picked one of them up and inspected it. 'This is definitely a mining helmet alright. Question is, what kind of mine is this?' I thought to myself as I decided to keep the helmet with me just in case. I saw several heavy drills and loaders of some kind and they seemed highly advanced. Nothing I had ever seen before. I looked to my left to see a recreational area where miners would go on a break, I walked inside and saw a screen of some sort and it turned on revealing what seemed to be a news cast but the texts were something that wasn't English, but I have seen it before I just can't remember where as the thought escapes me.

The news cast goes on and on about something that doesn't seem to be relevant to what I want but it showed a street and had several different Aliens that I knew were familiar. Then it all came back to me.

I was in Star Wars!

"Star Wars? Star Wars of all things? Augh, man how do I even survive here when nearly everyone is a liar in their own way and if I'm in the Clone Wars, what should I do? Follow the Cannon or stop order 66?" I muttered to myself as I sat down on one of the couches rubbing my temples. I then rested my hands on my legs until I felt something in the pocket of my jacket and saw it was…something. I then pressed something and saw what seemed to be a hologram of…a MK.2 Lancer? I pressed the same button and it showed the Retro Lancer, then the Hammerburst 1 and 2, Gnasher Shotgun, Snub, Boltok, Longshot and many other weapons from the Gears of war universe. Even the targeting beacon for the Hammer of Dawn!

"How the hell did this get in here?" I asked myself. I mean Assault rifles and Shotguns are practically old-, scratch that, primitive in this universe. But they did have the advantage of not being able to be blocked by a Lightsaber so that's a plus. I then pressed another button and it showed an exploded image of the MK.2 Lancer and it looked like a blueprint. If the various parts that separated from the weapon had anything to go by. I then pressed another button and the hologram turned off, I then put it back in my pocket and looked around the mine and saw a small piece of Ore that was in a mine cart.

I then got a closer look and saw that the device I had was beeping and made me pull it out again. 'I wonder'. I thought before waving the device near the ore and instead of coming up as whatever language the Star Wars universe used, it came up in English. The results came up as the ore was named…

'Cortosis? Isn't that a metal that can resist a Lightsaber?' I thought to myself as then an idea appeared in my head. Lancer Bayonet + Cortosis = Lightsaber resistant chainsaw. I then had a smirk on my face as I knew I can make this work. Why stop there when I can make COG armour from this stuff? Or even a bloody Boom shield?

"Well, look out galaxy. A new force is going to make its name in this universe". I smirked as I then began to find myself a starting point as to what I can do with all this untapped ore.

Connor's notes on the new Coalition of Ordered Governments progress.

.

22BBY-Attack of the Clones begins and the Republic and Separatist forces have now waged war across the galaxy. Cortosis Mines have been mining material for new armour and weapons for the COG. Assembly lines have been programed to make the first batch of weapons for the soldiers of the new army. Pendulum era weapons have been mass produced and armour is all ready to be used.

22BBY: 2 ½ Months later-Recruitment has been more and more successful with every offer. Former Republic supporters have joined their efforts in assisting the COG in building new vehicles such as Centaurs, Armadillos and both Raven types that are capable of Space and Air travel. Fleet construction has been a major success as well with 30 ships already built and more are being constructed.

22BBY: 4 Months later-Collation of Ordered Governments has been rumoured among the galaxy and have been helping worlds on their own accord and staying clear of Republic territories in order to advance a bit more with every victory. However the Republic knows little about the COG's rising and are more focused on the CIS. The COG have defeated several droid armies with quality over quantity for their troops called Gears earning trust and support of more worlds.

22BBY: 6 Months later-The New MK.2 Lancer has been mass produced and delivered to COG troops. However the MK.1 Retro Lancer is still being used in service due to its sheer power and how useful it has been for the Gears. New Weapons such as Locust, new COG weapons and several heavy weapons have also been mass produced.

21BBY-Beginning of the New Year, New COG Vehicles and weapons have been made for Planet Security. Those being Gears 4 weapons and vehicles along with DB Peace keeper units to aid COG police forces.

21BBY-Half a Month later-The republic has gotten more info about the COG and is weary of a new faction fighting for control of both territories. And is debating on an alliance with the COG, after just learning a Droid Factory on Geonosis. Unknown to them that the COG is already establishing a force to eliminate the factory.

Present Day

Several COG personnel filled the hallways of the 'CNV Sovereign', the Flagship of the founder of the COG by name of Connor Terra. The last name being in honour of his home planet. Or as members of the COG called him, the First Gear. Connor was suited up in Onyx Guard armour but with Gold outlines on the leggings, gauntlets, chest plate and his helmet which was strapped to his belt. The First Gear walked through the halls of the ship and stopped at a set of doors guarded by Onyx Guards wielding MK.2 Lancers, Connor walked through the doors as they opened and was now on the bridge of the ship and stopped at the front view port and was now looking into Hyperspace. In his mind he knew that going here will have the Republic see them for the first time and won't need rumours to know the Collation of Ordered Governments when they can speak with the "founding father" himself.

"Sir".

Connor looked behind him to see a Gear but in Gold armour. Golden Gears were the best of the best when it comes to command and fighting any enemy. Like the first wave of Onyx Guards, he trained the first wave Gold Gears himself, to show them what it takes to stand out from normal Gear soldiers. "We're just about to come out of Hyperspace". The Gold Gear spoke to him.

"How far ahead are we from the Republic?" Connor asked looking over his shoulder. "5 minutes ahead of the Republic sir". The Gold Gear replied.

"Good, have all teams ready for ground assault. I want fighters protecting the transports that carry our ground forces and have them safely touch down. Until then, we prepare for the Republic's arrival". First ordered in which the Gold Gear replied with a salute before walking off to perform his duties. The First Gear looked out the window and gazed on the brownish orange planet below. 'Knowing the Second battle of Geonosis is gonna be a slaughter for the Republic, I may as well help them in getting as many of their ground forces on the ground. I didn't build the COG for nothing and just observe battles such as this one'. He thought to himself.

"First Sir! Several ships are appearing out of hyperspace! They're republic!" One of the crewman called out to him. 'Well looks like they're ahead of schedule for once'. He thought to himself. "One of their ships is hailing us! Orders sir?" The crewman asked.

"Patch em through". He ordered while placing his helmet on his head and the eyes then started to glow blue. He walked up to the Holo-table and several Jedi masters were brought up. Those being Obi-wan Kenobi, Ki-adi Mundi and Luminara Unduli. "Master Jedi, glad to see you have arrived". The First Gear welcomed. "My name is General Terra of the Coalition of Ordered Governments. I apologise for the surprise, but I assure you that we are on the same side and here for the exact same reasons".

"Well this is a surprise, seeing the COG here before us over Geonosis. Tell me, what are your reasons exactly for coming here?" Luminara asked.

"The exact same for you being here Ma'am. To destroy the droid factory here". Terra replied. "How did the COG gain this information exactly General?" Master Mundi asked with stroking his chin. "We have our ways. So what goes on from here?" Terra asked.

"We'll discuss more on your ship of you wouldn't mind of course. If we do have a common enemy as you say we do, perhaps we can come to an agreement". Obi-wan suggested. Fenix looked down for a moment before responding.

"Very well Kenobi. Just under one condition, no troops come with you. Only the Jedi are permitted aboard my ship, pull anything that's a threat to me or my Gears…it will end badly for you". He warned showing that he was not joking.

"Very well then. We'll meet with you shortly". Kenobi responded as the transmission was cut and he began walking out of the bridge. "Track any transport ships coming from the republic ships and leave a hanger open for their arrival. Have a security team meet me in the hanger upon arrival". He ordered as he then made his way out of the bridge and into an elevator, he pressed the button to the hanger deck and crossed his arms as the doors closed.

(My pov)

As the elevator doors opened I walked into the hanger where a squad of 6 Gears was at the one of the landing areas with MK.2 Lancers in hand. I then saw the transport with carrying the Jedi touched down and open the front ramp letting them out. I then saw that Anakin and Ahsoka were aboard as well, I waked up to them and had their attention.

"Gentleman, and lady". I said as I mentioned Ahsoka. "Welcome aboard the CNV Sovereign". I greeted.

"Pleasure is all ours General Terra. I am Obi-wan Kenobi, this is Ki-adi Mundi, Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan Ahsoka Tano". Kenobi introduced.

"Nice to meet you all. Please follow me". I instructed as the Jedi followed me as well as the squad of Gears who were there for the Jedi's arrival. As we walked down the halls I could tell the Jedi were surprised to see the types of weapons we were using. I can understand that. Master Mundi then spoke up on this.

"I see your COG soldiers, or Gears as you called them use slug throwers. Quite a primitive weapon of choice, we can supply you with state of the art blasters-," "That won't be necessary Master Jedi. You see primitive as they are, our weaponry has proven very much effective against battle droids. And before you ask, yes I am aware we need constant supply of bullets to support our troops, I assure you we have already sorted the problem out and no that is classified. So don't bother asking". I stated as we then went into a meeting room with a table in the middle and several chairs. "Please take a seat". I offered as I pulled out a chair on the very end of the table and sat down, so did everyone else.

"Now I understand that both the Republic and the Separatist have gotten word of the Coalition of Ordered Governments ever since we made ourselves known. I can assure you that we mean no harm to the Republic and we've only been targeting the CIS since they think slave labour and mechanised infantry are the solution". I explained since there was no point in fighting the Republic if the galaxy would just fall under a new faction.

"So why come out of hiding now? Surely there was some reason behind it". Mundi stated. "Plus we have Intel that says the COG have taken over old Republic strongholds lost to the separatist".

"Are you suggesting that we could be a threat to you Mundi? Even though we have no point in fighting the Republic?" I asked sitting up fully. "If that is the case don't try and point fingers of any wrong doings. I'm practically cleaning up the mess of both factions and I'm willing to take that extra step that the Republic is too scared to take". I replied showing that the Republic is not on my priority list of threats. But making sure not to make it so.

"Regardless of the reason, since we have a common enemy down on the planet below. I propose that we can strike an offer". Obi-Wan suggested which got my attention…but I could tell what he might say. "If the COG join the Republic in defeating the Separatist, you're Gears can have a strong supply line and we both have an ally to rally against our common foe and both sides will be protected if one is attacked". He offered.

Did he really think that I'm that easy to convince? The Republic isn't as righteous as they think they are. Besides I did say COG was short for Coalition of Ordered Governments for a reason.

"No". I said shocking all the Jedi in the room.

"No? But without allies you won't be protected if the Separatists attack-," Mundi spoke up but I stopped him. "Does it look like we need protection? We've been fighting the CIS long enough to defend ourselves. Now I'm not saying that we're invincible, even I'm not an idiot to say or think it". I then turned on a screen behind me and it showed several Gears behind a Barricade and shooting at a horde of Battle droids.

"This footage was from a week ago in the outer rim. One of my Gear platoons was on the defence of a world which didn't have much of a military defence. Only local militia, with the locals they fought off an entire army of those trash cans". I said as I then skipped the footage forward showing that all the droids have been destroyed.

"How many troops did you have there anyway?" Anakin asked joining the conversation.

"Merely 50 Gears if you don't count the militia. And they suffered minimal casualties with each platoon trained under the COG". I answered as all Jedi were shocked that 50 troops took on an entire army.

"How is that possible? 50 troops would've been wiped out with a force shown in the footage!" Ahsoka asked still trying to wrap her head around the fact that my Gears survived the impossible. "Well the thing is that they were well equipped, trained and can handle any weapon given to them. Being it enemy or COG. Plus the COG trains our army in the aspect of quality over quantity. 1 normal Gear is worth 20 Clone Troopers. No disrespect for the clones of course but it's how we've trained them and in my eyes, it's worked our extremely well for us". I replied to the young Padawan as I listed the reasons why my Gears are practically a force of nature on the battlefield.

"Perhaps, but the fact that your army is using Slug throwers is something no one has really achieved in the Galaxy. There is also the problem of the ammunition being supplied to your armies on several fronts". Obi-Wan said.

"Well, we have our ways of resupplying our ammo to the troops and vehicles on the ground. But back to our previous statement, I won't have the COG join the Republic". I stated as a moment silence came into the room. "However". I said getting their attention. "I can agree to work with you, but not for you. This way we still hold our beliefs, we're both allies against the CIS and not at each other and everyone wins". I explained.

The Jedi looked at each other for a moment with uncertainty but Obi-wan had decided to speak up. "I can see that being arranged. We will speak to the members of the Jedi Council about these turn of events when we've established a hold on Geonosis".

"Glad we can come to an agreement. Now I must get ready to fight with my fellow Gears on the ground, I'm sure your troops will be as well. We'll provide fighter support for any transports that will be launched in the assault, both Republic and COG". I stated giving role in the attack on the planet.

"Very well. We'll see you on the ground General". Ki Adi Mundi stated as the Jedi bowed before leaving me in the room.

'Heh, yea. But you don't know what comes before you Jedi, and it irritates me that you're that fucking dense and blind by your code and methods that are out of date in this galaxy. I'll make sure to pick up the pieces and re-shape the Galaxy in a better place, something you seem to be struggling with'. I thought to myself as I then stood up and began to walk to the hanger bay. I then brought my fingers to the side of my helmet and called through the radio.

"Sergeant, have your squad and the troops ready for battle. It's time to show the Republic what the COG can do".

Well I hope you guys enjoyed a taste of what I have to offer for this crossover.

Now I want to point things out as my Star Wars Knowledge is a bit...limited and I actually had to research this stuff.

I picked Cortosis over Madalorean Iron simply becuase Mandalorean Iron would be harder to obtain due to Madalore being...well Mandalore. Cortosis was the second best choice since it can short out a Jedi/Sith's weapon and can withstand the blade. A shortened out lightsaber is not a good sign to any wielder of that weapon and if the blade is shorted out the Chainsaw bayonet is open for an attack if need be.

Plus the COG armour is able to take a couple of hits before the Gear is killed. And we all know COG armour can withstand bullets, so making it out of Cortosis making it resistant to blasters was a suitable choice. Plus I prefer Bullets over blasters if the choice was given to me.

Now I want to know if I should add character from Gears of War. Like Marcus, Dom, Baird, Cole and the rest of the gang. From Gears 1 to 3, or Judgement if that's what you want. While I'm on this topic, I get that the Carmine must die and save Carmine has been going on since I dunno how long since I wasn't into Gears back then but the "Gag" was fine up till the end of Gears of War 3 since Clayton Carmine was the sole survive of the family during the Locust war.

Now that's enough outta me, be sure to leave me your thoughts on the story and see where I intend to take it. A bit of feedback can go a long way.

So until then, I'll see ya next time!

Cronus Prime Out!
