This was an assignment I had for my English class this year, and I'm very pleased to say that my teacher gave me a really good grade. I hope you like it as much as she did. And if it's crap, I'm sorry. It's my first story. So anyways, enough of my talking, on with the story!
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Star Wars. It belongs to the brilliant George Lucas. May he live long and prosper.
It has been three years since the fateful battle on Geonosis that started the Clone Wars.
The Jedi have been strewn throughout the galaxy, fighting battles and commanding clones in hopes of ending the war soon and returning peace to the galaxy. However, that was not to be so.
The Jedi have searched relentlessly for the ever-elusive Darth Sidious, striving to solve the puzzling enigma that surrounded the sudden return of the Sith ever since the Blockade of Naboo, exactly thirteen years ago. But now, their search will come to an end.
The Sith Lord and his plans will be revealed. But the Jedi cannot stop him. They will see too late that the Clone Wars were nothing but a trap for the Jedi.
Finally, the Sith will have their revenge.
Darkness was approaching on the rainforest planet of Omazan. The sky, already dark because of the deep gray rain clouds that blanketed the atmosphere, became darker still. However, the darkness did nothing to affect the battle taking place in the jungle below. Clones and battle droids alike ignored the changes occurring in the sky and continued to cut each other down with deadly precision. Hundreds of clones were slowly but surely pushing back the droid army in hopes of infiltrating the Separatist fortress that lay before them. The ground was littered with droids turned into scrap metal and clones turned into smoking corpses. As the battle raged on, the Republic forces were slowly but surely gaining the upper hand. In a state of panic, the Neimodians inside the control room sent almost all of their remaining forces out to fight the clone army.
Unbeknownst to the droid army, however, the army of clones was simply meant to be a diversion. A small group of soldiers was sneaking around the back of the fortress, accompanied by three Jedi generals and their padawans. For the past few weeks, the Jedi had been assigned to find the Separatist fortress that was really another battle droid factory. Once the factory had been discovered, the Jedi led the Clone army to capture the fortress in order to slow the Separatist's ability to create more battle droids. While the clone army was busy keeping the droids busy at the front of the fortress, the group making their way towards the back of the fortress was to sneak inside and make their way to main control room, where they were to shut the factory and the battle droids down.
The group snuck through the brush, taking care to be as quiet as possible. As quiet as they were, they ran into a group of battle droids rushing into battle. "Blast them!" the leading droid ordered. The droids and clones opened fire on each other as six lightsabers ignited and went to work disposing of the droids. Jedi Knight Evin Enré swung his yellow lightsaber, taking off the droid leader's head. It fell to the ground in a shower of sparks. To his right, his Zabrak padawan Jennassa Zerat swung her purple lightsaber through a droid, turning it into a pile of scrap metal. Behind him, the other four Jedi were making quick work of the rest of the droids. Within a minute, the droid squadron had been disposed of. The Jedi and clones looked around cautiously.
"Is that all of them?" a second padawan asked, her green lightsaber held at ready. She was a blue-green skinned Twi'lek named Tanashi Waruck. Her deep blue eyes focused on her master, a Nautolan woman named Kera Anedi.
"I believe so, at least for the time being. We could very well run into more." Kera responded. She nodded to their clone sergeant. "Let us continue."
The group continued their trek through the jungle. Eventually, they reached the back of the fortress, which was being patrolled by another group of droids.
"What do you suggest we do, generals?" their Clone Sergeant whispered, whose name was Darred. The third Jedi Master, light purple-skinned Twi'lek with deep purple eyes named Rielle Lenai, turned to face him.
"Let's split up," she murmured. "Sergeant, take five other clones and come with me, Evin, and Kera. The other three clones will go with the padawans and create a diversion while we sneak inside." She turned to the other two Masters. "What do you think?"
"I think it will work." Evin looked at Kera, who nodded.
"Masters, once the droids are taken care of, what do you want us to do?" the third padawan, who was of the same species as Master Yoda, asked. Her name was Yara Ketson.
"Enter the fortress and follow my tracking signal." her Twi'lek master replied. "Be wary of other battle droids. Though most are out here, there will be some inside."
Once the entire group was in agreement of their strategy, they split up. The padawans snuck upon the group of droids before they were able to call for reinforcements. While the three girls and clones fought the droids, the second half of their group snuck past them and into the fortress.
Back at the battle, Clone Commander Vor was surveying their progress when he noticed a flashing red light on his belt. Looking among the various equipment on his belt, he quickly determined the light was coming from his holoemitter. He pulled the device out and switched it on. A hooded figure appeared, his face hidden in shadows.
"Commander Vor, the time has come." the hooded figure hissed. "Execute Order 66."
"It will be done, my Lord." the Clone Commander obediently responded. The holo faded away. Commander Vor turned back to the battle. He returned the holoemitter to its place on his belt and pulled out his comlink. "Sergeant Darred," he spoke into the device, "Execute Order 66."
Sorry it's short, but it's really only an intro to the actual story. But anyways, hope you enjoyed it! Please review, whether you liked it or not. Your comments are very helpful. The next chapter will be up soon, I promise you!
