This is my second story inspired by a book i was reading.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything Star Wars, except for my love of it.

"What's this all about, where are we going?"

"We don't even have any intel."

"20 minutes to assembly zone."

"What planet are we on?" A thud noise was barely heard over the thrum of the LAAT/I's engines. "What was that?"

"It was just the wind."

"That was not wind." The squad could hear several thuds in the distance, but it was getting closer now.

"Our first mission and we are right in the action! All right!"

"Someone's excited." Every man in the squad was thinking of something different. They all glanced around for the next few minutes, but all they could see was the same white helmet with the blue T. They could hear each other's breathing through the com, and a few were breathing heavily. The thud had been getting louder as they flew along.

"We're close to the assembly zone," said the pilot.

"Really, couldn't tell by the loud noises." Everyone in the ship could hear the sounds of a battle going on. They could all tell that the thud they had heard earlier was heavy cannons.

"Alright, when we land we all meet at point 724," as a small flashing dot came up on their huds, "then we will be assigned to a task."

"What? We don't even know what to do yet?"

"Yes," was the curt reply. Everyone slipped back into silence.

"We're landing now! Go, Go ,Go Go!" yelled the pilot as the men ran out of the gunship and out into the sunlight and dirt.

The men all got to the assembly point around the same time. One of them stepped up to an officer looking at a screen. "Sir, squad 24-40-12 reporting in."

"Good. We needed some new men. You and your squad go to these coordinates. We've been having some problems with some droids there."

"Yes sir!" The man turned around and walked back to his white armored troops. "We have our orders, we are going to these coordinates. Let's move!"

The clones could not get a ride to the rally point, so they had to go on foot. They did not enjoy walking in the red sand of Genosis. Although their armor kept the temperature cool for the men in their suits, they could tell that it was hot on the barren landscape that was called a planet. The walk to the coordinates was a long one, and all the men concentrated on moving. They were all eager for battle.

"Sir, all I see ahead is a hill. I don't see any enemy or allied troops there."

"That just means we'll have to climb the hill."

"At least it isn't a cliff side."

"I liked that exercise."

"We all know. You've only told us 134 times."

"That many?"

"Ya, I counted." They continued on for the next couple of minutes in silence.

"Does anyone else hear something?" They could all hear the sound of blaster fire that seemed to be coming from the other side of the hill.

"Yep, sounds like a battle to me. We get to kill some droids! I got 100 rounds with some droid's names on them."

"Technically wouldn't it be their numbers instead of their names?"

"Technically we're going to kill them so fast we won't be able to tell their names or numbers, whichever one it is." They were almost at the top of the hill by this point.

"Sarg, what are we going to do when we get over this hill? What is the plan of attack?"

"We'll just play it by ear."

"Great plan! No wonder you aren't a Sergeant." The first man got to the top of the hill, and looked out onto the field of battle before him. What he saw was a great battle going on between some droids and clones. All of the men couldn't wait to get into battle.

How did you like it? Please R&R. I do plan to continue this, but i'm not sure when.
