Hello Hello! Man it has been a long time since I have updated! I received Star Wars: The Clone Wars for Christmas and have been immersing myself in the fandom. So, I hope you like this chapter and may the Force be with you!

Chapter 3

Invasion

As soon as the destroyers set up their shields, they began firing. I switched to a reverse grip as I blocked the blaster bolts in an Form III stance, but I struggled to keep up with the repeated attacks. I then somersaulted over one, spun around, and slowly slid under the droid. Igniting my saber, I sliced the dronkoida in half, and continued to the next one.

The men of Leopard Company fought hard. Although many had never been in an actual war zone, they were successful in slowing the droids down. Captain Miles, with his twin DC-17 pistols, called up the troopers in an advance, and effectively used droid poppers to disable at least a dozen super battle droids.

As I sliced through the last destroyer, I saw the ship from earlier pull into the hangar bay. As the ramp on the ship lowered, three figures walked out. The first was a human male, tall and with light brown hair, who ignited his blue saber and started slicing the nearest droids. The next person was a Togruta female, fairly short with black and blue stripes on her montrals and lekku. She held her green saber with a reverse grip and followed her master in disarming the droids. The last one was a clone trooper, his armor painted in blue. He also used two blasters, and his rank could be seen as Captain.

"Commander, I've received reports that there are more droids landing in the other hangar." Miles shouted over the sound of the gunfire. "I've informed General Romanov of the situation, but she hasn't responded."

I flipped backwards just before a detonator exploded in front of me. Landing beside Miles, I tried to think of a solution before a deep voice broke through my thoughts. "What seems to be the problem?"

I glanced up into the face of Anakin Skywalker, and instantly had to repress a shriek of excitement. However, seeing as he was waiting for a response I focused my mind on the problem at hand.

"Master Skywalker, we have more droids arriving in the south hangar. If they get through our defences, they could knock out the control room, thus disabling this entire station."

He sighed, and opened his mouth to respond when Miles interrupted. "Sir, I have squads Beta, Omega, and Gamma in the vicinity. Their holding up, but they need

reinforcements."

"Alright, I'll take the Twilight and head them off," Anakin then tapped his wrist com. "Snips, I'm headed to the other hangar, see if you and Rex can help out here. As soon as you're done though, I need you on the other side of the station."

There was a pause before they heard a response. "I've got your back Skyguy, we can handle things here." With that Master Skywalker ran towards his ship, deflecting bolts as he went and was soon outside the station.

Within the next 15 minutes, the majority of the droids were destroyed and the rest were barely functioning. However, it was soon revealed that the separatists left a surprise. Out of the abandoned droid transport, came two crab droids. The togruta and I were back to back, trying our hardest to deflect their powerful bolts.

Miles apparently saw our predicament, and called for a rocket launcher. The clone holding it aimed and fired it right between the droids, destroying them in a powerful explosion. The blast had knocked me off my feet, and as I tried to push myself up, I saw Miles's hand extended towards me. I grabbed it and he pulled me up. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the other clone Captain doing the same for the Togruta.

Dusting myself off, I turned to Miles. "How bad were we hit?" He sighed, glancing away. "We lost Blue, Fighter, Throwback, and Quarter. Hunter has some internal injuries and Doubles broke his leg. Knife is patching them up as best as he can, but we need to get to the medbay for proper supplies."

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. The words 'A Jedi does not have attachments' rang through my head. Even though I had memorized the words, actually doing them was another. A cough took my attention from my dark thoughts.

"Yes Height, what is it?" Height was our go to pilot. He could fix any craft and was constantly pouring over flight textbooks in the mess. Although I couldn't see his expression through the helmet, he sounded worried. "Sir, the bridge has put the station on emergency lockdown. We, er, can't get the door open."

"So what the problem, we can just use our lightsabers to cut through the door." Said the padawan, suddenly appearing behind me. I jumped and spun around rather ungracefully before I understood her question. "I'm afraid that's impossible. You see, in an emergency situation, the doors are locked, but they are also ray shielded and can shock whoever gets within 3 feet of the door."

At this point, the other captain finally spoke. "It is too bad sir, that Echo couldn't come with us. He would be able to tell us the whole schematics of this station." The Togruta giggled. "Yeah Rex, he wouldn't be able to stop talking about all this new tech." I gasped. I knew exactly how we could help Master Skywalker.

"We may not be able to go through the door, but we could go though another way." The girl looked at me. "By what way?" I walked over to where the ventilation systems joined the hangar bay. "This way. It may be hard for you guys with your armor and all, but you should fit."

"Good idea," the Togruta said, smiling, "but how are we going to move your troops?"

"Way ahead of you. Height, do you think you can fit Leopard Company into our troop transports?" He nodded, "In a heartbeat Commander. We'll be there in no time."

"Good, now Miles, you go first, Captain Rex, the Commander and myself will be right behind you." He nodded his approval. Using the Force, I pulled the cover on the shaft and hoisted Miles up. As he crawled in, the other padawan and I lifted Rex up. After he was in, I jumped up and wriggled through the opening.

The tunnel was small, with barely enough room to move, much less crawl through with armor. I knew Miles would never complain, but I felt bad for putting them in this situation. As I looked around, I was grateful that I wasn't claustrophobic. I could hear the Togruta behind me and started to move forward.

"Ahsoka." I glanced back at her, confusion in my gaze. She tilted her head. "Ahsoka, my name is Ahsoka Tano." I smiled at her, slightly embarrassed about my mistake. "Sorry, my name is SeAnna Nighthunter."

She smiled back. "I like it, it suits you." We continued on in silence before Miles called out to me in a whisper. "Commander, you need to see this." Intrigued, I crawled towards him.

Rex leaned on his side, so I only had to squeeze by him, whispering my apologies, but Miles was stuck in a narrower part of the shaft. I had to crawl on top of him, only for him to shift, some how pinning me under his arm.

I was slightly irritated, and was about to move forward until I heard voices through the vent in front of us. We all froze as the lights in the room were suddenly activated, and two people walked into our line of vision.

Oh no! A cliff hanger! And to those of you who are reading my Chronicles of Narnia story, I am having a hard time writing this next scene. So I appreciate you being patient. Please Review!
