This chapter was a bit long so i had to cut it in half,

based on Clone Wars Chapter 2 TV show. Read and review

CORUSCANT - four months after Geonosis

"PARADE, ATTEN-TION!'

Two thousand Three hundred and four pairs of armoured boots snapped together. Two thousand three hundred and four DC-15s swung up from rest-on-arms. I stood next to Senior General Kenobi, Commander Skywalker, and Captain Fordo.

Being an officer myself, I was rewarded to with the two most highly decorated Jedi in the war, and an old friend Fordo from Kamino.

'PARADE, BREAK OFF!'

The turned as one then marched off onto the waiting cruisers.

General Kenobi turned to Fordo and I.

'Come Captains, we must finalise our plans.' He said.

Fordo and I fell into line behind Kenobi and Skywalker. We followed the two Jedi. In my opinion General Kenobi was the greatest Jedi Knight, i had the honour to serve under. Skywalker was as skilled as any ARC trooper i'd fought with. Every Clone Trooper we passed snapped to attention and saluted to us four. Kenobi and Skywalker just nodded, but Fordo and I's arm got tired bringing up and down as we walked down the halls.

My armour had changed since Spatae, I had served in many battles in the few months since then. From the uniform ARC gear to a customized uniform.

I had donned a Paratrooper helmet from my stint instructing Parjai Squad, Clone Airborne Corps. I kept the shoulder pauldron from the ARCs, Commando wrist gaurds with retractable vibroblades from a commando named Atin from the former Prudii squad. Heavy re-enforced boots good for that odd, stuborn door from HOPE squad. A Mandalore Vibroblade from my instructor Walon Vau. And several other armaments. Also a customized Captain red warpaint colouring.

We were led into a dark room, with a holochart displaying in the centre.

I removed my helmet and took up a position around the holochart, as did Fordo. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed Skywalker stare at our two faces.

Okay Gentlemen, here is what we have.' General Kenobi said,

'A few das ago, myself and Commander Skywalker had ameeting with Master Yoda and the Chancellor to plan this operation. Anakin and I are to lead an assault on Muunilinst, home of the Intergalactic Banking Clan. The Intergalactic Banking Clan is a heavy monetary, warship, and battle droid contributor to the Separatists. Ground forces will land a few klicks south of the city Harnaidan. A Special Ops team Captained by Captain Fordo will infiltrate the city. One of your objectives will be to destroy the artillery cannon at the command tower.' He indicated the structure on the holochart.

'Myself and General Voolvif Monn will assault the city shortly thereafter, I will meet up with Captain Fordo at the command tower. Captain Raiden, your team will be infiltrated by air, at the opposite side3 of the city, deep behind enemy lines.' I will personally brief your squad seperately later.'

'Sir!" Fordo and I acknowledged in unision.

Minutes later I stood next to Fordo's squad as General Kenobi briefed us, we were now almost entering the Muunilinst system,

'Arc troopers, you have been selected for this task because you are the best, the elite, you all know what to do. The sucess of your mission is the key to a swift victory. When you get into position send word as planned.' With this he turned and left. 'Then i'll join you.'

Fordo's men stood there silent, this was thier first real mission, even though the training on kamino was real enough. My team just went back to checking thier gear. The Hatch closed and we moved off to our own LAAT/i transport. Some Senators back on Coruscant wanted some Clone PR. Nice clean white soldiers 'fighting the good fight.' So the Chancellor picked several Public units, which were clean cut, always got on the holonet and that represented a nice peaceful republic. Units such as mine were hard and dirty, we did the jobs the Chancellor didn't want the Civilians to know about.

The eleven Acclamator-1 class assault ships exited hyperspace near the planet. They were rewarded with the sight of dozens of Banking Clan orbital platforms blockaging the planet. Then hundreds of Geonosian Fighters spilled from the platforms, like ants from a nest. In respone Skywalker's V-19 starfighters emptied the fighterbays. We watched via com line as the starfighters swarmed and dodged like tiny bugs. Explosions dotted the vast black emptyness of space.

SLAM

Our LAAT/i jostled and dropped, sliding in line with the hundreds of other ones going down to the surface. I just sat back and waited. My team was made up of myself, Fox, Tobias, and three Clone Troopers. Fox and Tobias followed suite and customised thier own armour.

My stomach lurched as we entered orbit, we split off from the main group and raced above the clouds, i watched as hundreds of them raced along the surface under us.

I listened as Kenobi ordered Fordo to get ready.

'ARC Troopers deploy.'

'Yessir!' Came the reply.

I watched as one small dot broke off and headed away from the group.

'Captain! Your up!' The pilot yelled from the front.

I nodded as the doors lid open, and feirce wind assaulted us. We strapped packs to our backs. They would fold out as gliding wings if needed. Perfect for airborne entry. One by one we jumped out of the LAAT/i and free-fell towards Harnaidan. I open my wings at five hundred feet and we glided the rest of the way. Fox was down first, and secured the LZ, a small intersection about six blocks to the Command Centre. I touched down and went on all fours, DC-15 raised and ready. Fordo's voice came across my helmet coms.

'Raiden, our transport was shot down, we have to tab it to the Command Centre, the pilot is the only causilty.' He stated

'Copy that, we are six blocks out, and moving.' I reported

'Roger, General Kenobi says they are attacking the city now.' As if to back up his statements, the ground vibrated as shells fell, and spirals of smoke drifted above the skyline.

'He also says to expect heavy resistence, Fordo out.' The com went silent.

'Okay CLones, move it, single file formation, up the street, watch your arcs of fire.' I said raising up.

Fox was on point then a Clone Trooper, followed by me, then the other two Clones then Tobias on six. Spacing was five metres between us all, we jogged up the street, our rifles swiveling around our arcs of fire, watching for any movement. How we cross streets was that the first three soldiers would stop and provide cover along the street, then the next three would leap frog them and bound across the road, then they would provide cover, for the others to cross the road.

Tobias motioned for us to stop as we reached a corner. I looked back to him, he motioned for us to get down. I crawled up to him. He was lying prone behind a garbage recepticle, the others had taken refuge in a fruit seller market.

'What do you see?' I whispered.

'There.' He pointed down to the intersection we just crossed.

A AAT tank hovered down the street, flanked by ten super battle droids.

'Stay very still.' I whispered.

The AAT stopped and swiveled it's turret in our direction.

'aw ...' I cursed

Things were about to get a lot more complicated.
