Hello readers, Lord Revan back with a new chapter! My computer has some *ahem* problems. (looking at you fucking windows 10!) I had to factory reset my entire computer. Also, school started. (fuck you SOLs) Also, I have decided that that talking from a past point of view, for example "Dodging a blow from His sword, i landed a hit of my own" Also, I will be writing most chapters in first person. Now, please do review, it does help my writing. Oh yeah, i dont own star wars blahblahblah. Now without further ado, chapter 2! (hey that rhymed!)
Chapter 2: Back From the Dead
Wookie POV
I piloted my Wookie air speeder, my gunner picking off battle droids as we zoomed by, passing Wroshyr trees in the Shadowlands below.
Hey! Are we near the village yet?" I yelled to my gunner.
"No! Wait… hold on a minute! I think I see a human!" He responded
"It's a Republic soldier! He's all alone! Wait, is he fighting all those droids alone?!"
I looked to the right of me, sure enough, there was a Clone Trooper fighting off hundreds of battle droids by himself.
Boom!
A round from what looked to be some kind of explosive launcher shook the platform the trooper was on. It caused the gun platform to start to destabilize. From what I could see, the Trooper was still fighting off these droids, and surviving! You can imagine my shock when the trooper let out a bloodchilling roar and charged into the fray, gauntlet blades out.
This man was a true warrior, I couldn't let him die. I wouldt not dishonor myself!
"Aim your blaster cannon at those droids! Cover me while we land. " I commanded the gunner.
" But sir, why would we save a Clone Trooper?! He is nothing but cannon fodder for the Republic!" My gunner asked, baffled.
" Look at Him! He is a warrior, and our honor demands that we aid a warrior in need!" I yelled with conviction.
At this point, the trooper was covered in the blood of his enemies and his own blood. We landed on the platform just as the trooper submitted to his injuries. The droids immediately turned their attention to us. They opened fire, but were cut down by the blaster cannon manned by my colleague. I ran into the hoard of droids and grabbed the trooper. He looked to be unconscious. A closer inspection would have to wait for later or we would both be killed.
I jumped back into the chopper with the Clone in tow. The chopper had taken a lot of damage, but we were able to escape. I began to examine the trooper more closely. I could now see that he was not like the other troopers I had seen. His left arm had a patch with a skull of some kind and the words 'Vode an'. His armor also looked different. It offered more protection than the average clone trooper armor, and by looking at the barely working HUD of his helmet, I could see that the suit also had shields. Definitely not like any Clone Trooper I had ever seen. His battle prowess was a sight to behold. I estimated that he was worth nearly thirty normal troopers. I would search the databanks once I got back to the village.
Sev POV
Darkness, that was all I could see and feel at first. But like almost like a computer, my senses slowly returned to me. First, it was my hearing. I would just make out many grunts and growls in my vicinity. Then, it was my sense of touch. I was strapped to something metal, I could also feel a piece of metal attached to my i could not figure out what it was. I could feel my injuries, and they demanded much more of my attention.. I felt like someone had surgically inserted 50 tiny Bull Rancors and now they were eating me from the inside. Then came my sight.
I could see a couple of wookies standing over me… Wait, Wookies?! Why am I strapped down by a couple of wookies?! Then it came back to me, the mission, and my last stand against the CIS scumbags, seeing wookie choppers just before I blacked out. So this is why I am in the care of these walking carpets.
"You are awake. We will ask you some questions, and we expect answers in exchange for saving your life.'
Why could I understand them? Wait… I felt around on my ear and took the piece of metal off my ear, and sure enough, it was a translator. I put it back on and answered.
"Alright, you scratch my back I'll scratch yours."
They gave him a confused look
"It means since you saved me, i will comply."
"Humans have very strange expressions."
Sigh
" You are not like the Clone Troopers we have seen. Although they are honourable fighters, you are on another level entirely, cutting through those droids like nothing."
"I am a Republic Commando. We are trained to do what my more common brethren can not. We work in squads of four that we have trained with our entire life and were trained from a very young age by Mandalorians, the best warriors in the galaxy. I noticed you looking at my patch a couple of minutes ago. That skull is a mythosaur skull, the symbol of the Mandalorians."
" I see, you are a warrior of much higher caliber than the normal clones. My last question is if you have squad, where are they?"
"They were most probably forced to leave me or died during my last mission to man the defense cannons in your main village. The droids came at me, and I fought many of them off. But, ask you can see, it was not enough."
"That was all, i will let you rest. That hut over there is where you will be staying." He pointed at a hut in the distance.
'Way to fracking go, Sev. You've lost all contact with GAR High Command, and you don't have a fracking clue where your brothers are…'
"FORCE!"
I stabbed a tree with my vibroblade, the shards splitting all around me.
'Calm down, Sev. You know what happens when you get pissed off. Just CALM THE FRACK DOWN!'
I stabbed the tree again, this time making it groan a little from how deep the cut was.
I pulled out my sniper attachment for my gun, and focused on the tree.
'Breath in, breath out.'
Drawing a bead, i shot
Thunk
Grinning to myself, I couldn't help but laugh.
'Sniping always calms me down. I got still got it!'
'If we ever come under attack here, I need to have layout of the best sniping positions and where to set traps.'
Looking up to tower in the village, i saw my vantage point
'Perfect'
I went throughout the village, looking for funneling lanes and places the enemy would be most likely to attack
What i would never expect, was having to kill my own brothers.
