Chapter 1: The escape

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The barren wasteland of Geonosis was covered with the fallen forms of both droids and men alike, and although the Clones managed to capture the high point of the battlefield (the Spire), the Sith managed to cut off their reinforcements from Tatooine. Now, with the Sith in much greater numbers than the Clones, the Republic is forced to retreat back from the Spire. Almost all the Clones have fallen, and only five Jedi are left. Unbeknownst to them, Palpatine has commanded Order 66, but no one on Geonosis is believed to have survived, and so the Jedi aren't being looked for…

"Pull back!" Ferus Olin shouted, deactivating his lightsaber. All around him lay the fallen forms of Assault Droids- the only droids powerful enough to take on a Jedi. He glanced to the right, where Vergere was attempting to parry on oncoming stream of fire, from four Geonosian Battle Droids.

He swiftly reactivated his lightsaber, and threw it in the direction of them. It sliced through three of them, and Vergere managed to rebound the last droid's shot back into it.

The two of them turned, and began running back towards the docking bay, where only a few ships lay undestroyed. Their three other comrades: Quinlan Vos, Ulic Qel-Droma, and Mara Jade were already waiting for them.

Vergere was in the lead, and so she didn't even notice when a stray bullet caught Ferus in the leg, and he went down. He cursed under his breath, and looked back to see several Geonosian Droids coming towards him.

The others were already in the ships when Vergere arrived at the docking bay. The main shuttle transports they had arrived in were too big and slow, and so Quinlan, Ulic, and Mara Jade were preparing two ARC-170 Starfighters- (which were meant to be piloted by three, but under the circumstances, the rear gun could be left unmanned).

Ulic was still busy readying the first Starfighter, so Vergere jumped in the auto-pilot seat, and began helping him. They were too busy too notice that Ferus was missing…

"Umm… hey, is this thing on?" Quinlan's voice suddenly came over the radio.

"Roger," Ulic replied.

"Where's Ferus?" Quinlan asked.

Vergere turned and looked back through the entrance to the loading bay, and raised a hand over her mouth.

"Oh my God."

Ferus was starting to slow down. He was too slow for one shot, which then proceeded to hit him in the same leg, although this time slightly higher. He only showed it by wincing slightly.

More and more droids were advancing on him, and soon he'd be surrounded. In a final act of defiance, he stood up and faced the oncoming army of droids. He'd given up all hope at this point, and he took up a final, defensive pose, and defiantly faced the army of droids.

Suddenly a shadow fell across him, and looking up he saw a Starfighter coming toward him- with Quinlan Vos grinning in the pilot seat. In two short blasts of the Starfighter's duel cannons, the first and second line of droids was no more.

The Starfighter swept down again, but this time Ferus jumped up and landed on it's wing. Quinlan opened the cockpit, and Ferus fell in upside down.

"Hold on," Quinlan called out, laughing.

And with that, he closed the cockpit, and began his ascent into space. However, the Sith weren't going to allow the Jedi to get away that easily…
