Chapter Three
Mace motioned for Teel to move left and Mukk to go right. The two other human escapees did as told, and fired while moving.
The blasts hit the giant leader, who himself started running. Mukk jumped under a table, hiding behind the leg of the table. Mukk looked up, then wrapped himself around the leg, and climbed on top of the table.
Teel, on top of the left table, fired Neil in the back, who turned around, only to be shot in the shoulder by Mukk. Mace Force jumped onto the giant's head, and shot the head several times, only causing Neil to get angrier.
He slung his head, throwing Windu off onto a stone brick, knocking Windu out. Mukk jumped onto Neil, and climbed to Neil's shoulders. Mukk pulled a dagger from his belt, jabbing it into the giant's shoulder.
Three giants worked their way to the gate, only to have the first be caught by the shuttles grappling hook, which stuck into the giant's shoulder. Inside the cockpit, Oldtimer piloted the shuttle to the cliff, holding onto the giant, cutting the rope loose.
One ARC trooper, Hank, fired his missile launcher, planting a missile into the giant's chest, demolishing it. The last giant swung his hand, knocking Hank and two troopers into a boulder.
The giant picked up the boulder, and raised it high above his head. Before he could drop it, however, Hank and one trooper got up, and picked up the other.
The clones ran to cover behind a tree, and the giant threw the boulder at the shuttle, which ripped one of the wings off.
As the ship crashed down, killing Oldtimer and his copilot, Fordo and his squad of clones ran inside the building. Hank grabbed his missile launcher, and fired it into the giant's side, killing him. Hank and the other two troopers ran to the fortress, catching up with their companions.
Neil grabbed Mukk, and raised him above his mouth. Mace, who just awoke, nodded at Teel, and Mace used the Force to fling Teel to Mukk, and Teel threw his friend onto a table, only to be caught in the grip of Neil.
"Nighty-night, Mr. Little Guy!" Neil taunted, and bit into Teel, eating him. "Nooo!" Mukk shouted, shooting Neil in the head. Neil turned. "Ah, it's a buffet now then, huh?" Neil jokingly stated.
"Not quite yet," Fordo informed the giant, tossing Mace his golden lightsaber. "Captain Fordo, I presume?" Mace asked the ARC trooper captain. "One in the same, General Windu," Fordo answered.
Neil growled, running towards the clone platoon, only to be shot down. Before he died, however, Neil pounded his fist, which crushed the purple armored sergeant and two other troopers. Mace jumped on Neil, and drove his lightsaber into the giant, who then died in the banquet room.
In a Galactic Republic Venator-class cruiser, Captain Tarkin sent out a medical frigate, which returned an hour later, carrying Windu, Fordo, Mukk, five ARC troopers, two clone troopers, and Hank.
On the bridge, Mace and Tarkin conversed with Yoda and Obi-Wan. "So it was giants, then?" Obi-Wan asked, laughing. "Yes indeed," Windu added. "Yes indeed, Obi-Wan."
