Chapter 7 Operation end war

Planet:Mygeeto

Time: 5:00 galactic time

It's very early in the morning it's still dark out. Separatist forces are holding on to the last position including a bridge. They have placed several anti Ariel cannons on the end of the bridge to prevent enemy air strikes from coming in. Battle droids stand on guard everywhere with tanks on patrol. A major campaign had been going on for a few months. However Price was running things and this campaign wouldn't being waging for very much longer.

The droids scanners which were being jammed didn't pick several commando teams which were air dropped threw the night sky. Price himself had also come in leading his operation all decked out in stealth gear. He held an M4A1 with a silencer attached to it. Behind him delta squad also joined in.

They moved out as silently as possible quickly moving towards a gun position. Choosing very wisely who they would kill and let past. They moved on the gun in site with a squad on guard. Price took aim with his rifle quickly taking out several droids silently as delta squad moved in and used their wrist blades to quickly slit the necks of the droids.

The gun area was clear quickly they took out charges and strapped them. Scorch quickly got them all set up and synchronised. They then very quickly moved out leaving the gun. They got to safe position away from the blast radius. Price then got on his communicator.

"Everything set?" He whispered in it to the various other squads.

"Yes sir." Was the universal reply.

Price took out a trigger button and quickly pressed a big explosion broke out shaking up the city a bit. On the other side of the bridge general Mundi and the galactic marines were waiting for a signal. It was well received when they saw several explosions break across the city which were former AA guns. Along with other explosions on the bridge and gunfire breaking out all over the bridge and city. The marines moved upon the bridge immediately quickly joining up with the commandos already in position.

Price and delta squad were holding the line at the end of the bridge gunning down numerous droids. The galactic marines arrived at the end of the bridge with several walkers and tanks to join them. Mundi lead the charge his troops followed in. The droid forces were hammered and quickly beaten. Mundi met up with Price who was firing away on his M4A1.

"The guns are down what are you waiting for call in the airstrikes." Said Mundi fearing the droids would rebound very soon.

"I got men in that city general I'm giving them time to get out first." Said Price as he shot apart two battle droids.

"Understood, Bacara have the men hold the bridge before progressing!" Mundi ordered.

They held their ground for another ten minutes as omega squad along with the revenants came charging out. The galactic marines provided cover fire for their escape several men were lost but droid losses were even worse. Price threw out a grenade as the elite forces linked up. All his commando teams had moved out of the city. Price got on his com link.

"Alright light it up!" He ordered the forces in orbit.

Everyone held their ground on the bridge as ARC-170s went roaring above towards the city dropping their payloads of explosives upon the city. The bombs rained down. Tanks and other enemy armor were blown away along with several buildings and blocks of the city.

The galactic marines then made their charge upon the city. Above more gunships were flying in. They made landing on the secured side of the bridge. Captain Rex and a dispatch of the five o first charged out with their tanks and walkers to support. The battle moved into the blown out city with the clones progressing threw rather quickly. Droids were shot down by rifle fire and rocket launchers blew away turret positions. Republic tanks made the advance that much easier.

Price himself had joined up with the five o first with his commando forces they moved into the suburbs of the city. Super battle droids met them and opened fire. Several troopers were killed during the skirmish but the droids were gunned down faster the clones quickly clearing out all the droids. The confederation remaining droids were ordered to retreat and abounded the planet due to lack of resources.

The planet was taken after seven grizzly months of non stop fighting. Many were killed during Price's third major military campaign but his tactics had proven effective. He returned to the republic venator in orbit. As he arrived with the rest of the five o first he was getting word of other republic victories across the galaxy. In fact the war would be ending soon was the word. The separatists were getting squeezed hard as Price also had a major air campaign going on raiding factories and supply lines.

Captain Rex also entered the bridge with general Skywalker directing goliath he now had direct command over the five o first. They were his army rangers and were always present in all his campaigns. Now the galactic marines were being sent back to coruscant as the war was dieing down for them. The five o first along with Price's elite commando task force were being sent to Felucia next as the final offensive to devastate separatist forces and bring them to the negotiating table. The 327 star corps was already making their move. The 91st reconnaissance straight from selucumi along with several arc teams were already running recon ops to collect information for Price's next big move. He knew the environment was very harsh and hostile he also already had a map of the enemy. Recon was providing all they could. Price was ready to move already formulating a plan.

Deep behind separatist lines

In a ghillie suit Archer stood right next to Jordan who was using a small republic tablet device to hack back the base below. Archer was watching the base threw the scope of an intervention with his sniper. The enemy had no idea they were their. However they were there for a separatist military tactician under the name if Trench admiral Trench. He was here meeting with San hill both thinking this was a very secure location to meet. They had no idea goliath was on to them.

"You almost done up there?" Sandman whispered in his communicator as he and delta were in a ditch near the base a droid patrol above.

"Cameras off information extracted you're clear to go in." Jordan said back.

As Sandman threw over a electro magnetic pulse grenade Archer took out the droid in the guard tower and those around it. The patrol was immobilized by the grenade. Delta moved out guns raised as they approached the fence. They quickly used laser cutters to cut threw it and move. The men had M4A1s with holographic sites raised save for Grinch who fashioned an MK-14. They kept silent using stealth to sneak around the base.

They placed charges on several areas for their escape plan. They moved near the building where Trench was speaking with Hill. They moved towards the door kicked in the door and moved in quickly breaching. They opened fire quickly with silenced rifles. The droids were dropped very quickly they quickly entered the room where both San Hill and Admiral Trench where meeting. Both were shot down faster than they could react to the breach.

They then pulled out of the building as quickly as they had arrived however they ran into a droid patrol that set off the alarm faster than they could shoot. Sandman pressed a button causing several explosions. The explosions wiped out droids and caused chaos. They ran towards the exit as they shot and cut droids just barely making it out if the fence.

Archer and Jordan also got up and ran leaving their position. Everyone was out of the area quickly with the mission finished. Now Nikolai was leading an air raid on this planet while that was happening he would fly down quickly pick them up and keep going. Their aircraft flew right threw dropping their pay loads of explosives.

Nikolai quickly landed his aircraft as everyone sprinted in quickly getting aboard. Nikolai then quickly took off again angling up into the air. The air raid in the back around covered their escape. They were targeting bases and factories on the planet.

The team had completed another mission this time was different it was their most major kills so far. Along with valuable information that could be delivered to the republic causing more devastation to the separatists.

"Finally a mission where nothing went wrong." Said Grinch in a more joking manner that did have some truth to it.

"I hear you there." Said Jordan.

"Best part of all the war's almost over." Said Frost however he realised just what that meant, "I retract that statement the wars almost over what happens when it ends?"

"Don't worry about that now we'll have it figured out besides Jordan's working on a solution with the chips." Sandman said making things brighter.

However Jordan had run into trouble with his part of the overall plan he had no intention of exposing that right now. He planned to tell Soap in private not wanting to panic the others.

"Yeah we'll have it all figured out that's a promise." Said Jordan as their ship went into hyperspace.

Coruscant

Palpatine was getting news from all over the galaxy of an imminent total victory over the separatists. The separatist council was in fact wanting a peace meeting with the republic. The mega companies behind the scenes were getting bombed and raided by goliath then revealed. This was not his plan as Mundi and other Jedi generals were returning from war. They were becoming not so divided. He needed to do something revive the separatist fighting force for just a little longer. He also needed to move up his schedule by a little. Skywalker's turning needed to happen much sooner than originally planned. The doors opened behind and Skywalker along with Soap entered the room.

"Admiral Trench and San hill are out of the picture we are on Gunray's tail as well he's been eluding us for awhile but we will have him very soon." Soap said in his summary.

"Very good,"The chancellor replied, "However I think it would be more valuable for Goliath to track down Grievous taking him down will bring a quick and swift end to the war."

"With all due respect chancellor that's what Kenobi and Price are suppose to be handling." Skywalker replied.

"Well it seems they're to busy on these massive offensives in fact word is Kenobi will be deployed to felucia after he's done whatever he's currently doing planetside." Palpatine informed, "Grievous needs to be found and silenced."

"Grievous would prove to be tough target firstly even if we located him killing him would be rather troublesome for Goliath operators. I'm sure Skywalker could most definitely take care of that one." Soap said actually open to killing the general.

"Alright looks like we're hunting Grievous." Said Skywalker.

TFG HQ secret meeting

Mace Windu was meeting with Gaz,Sandman,Ghost and Jordan no one knew they were meeting right now. It would remain off the books. For it was conspiring against their true enemy.

"Price's war is ending however the chancellor just set out a new order he's implementing occupation of separatist territory keeping the Jedi divided in space." Sandman announced very recently returned from his op, "He's buying himself time I can only imagine it won't take him long to realize our little plan here which will in turn make us look pretty bad."

"Have considered letting the war end then allowing the democratic process to throw him out of power?" Questioned Gaz thinking this was the obvious choice.

"With an army of clones ready to go I don't think space Stalin here is totally beyond taking power by force." Sandman said.

"Not if Jordan has come threw yet." Said Gaz all eyes turning towards Jordan.

Jordan knew it was time to tell them the conundrum he'd run into with the inhibitor chips. In part it was due to his limitations in hacking he was a better soldier honestly.

"Alright let me start with that usually you have me breaking into doors and computers it's not exactly the hardest thing for me however basically reprogramming millions and millions of soldiers is a completely different story-"

"Long story short you can't do it." Ghost said interrupting the man.

"Let me finish it took me a month to figure out how one works then an hour to break into it now doing it to even one percent of the clone army before space Stalin initiates his plan is inconceivable."

"Alright vicini tell us you have something good to tell us now." Said Sandman as Mace Windu was getting confused with all the allusions.

"Yes there is good news well sort of."

"It's either good news or more bad news there is no grey area." Said Ghost confused.

"Let me explain," Jordan said wanting to retain his clearly lost credibility, "I can hack into individual inhibitor chips and change their programming meaning I can control the commanders who the orders would go to anyways just get me a ten minute conversation with them over the com link. However I'm not sure if I can get every Jedi's commander in time so the sort of part you have to choose which Jedi over others."

Everyone was silent and no one was making jokes or even grinning now that Jordan had just given them a serious ethical conundrum. Especially for Windu who would now have to choose between those he considered friends.

"The Jedi council will handle this in a fast manner get you what you need Jordan get on the com link and prepare to hack." Said Windu taking care of what was still his unit.

"One more thing I was thinking of," Said Gaz at the last second, "What if we kill him."

"The chancellor are you out of your mind if we fail to do this game over." Said Ghost remembering they had considered this and already shut it down.

"Not if he thinks someone else was trying to kill him." Gaz implied, "Simply wait till the opportunity presents itself and make it look like mandalorian assassins or maybe deathwatch."

It wasn't the worst idea but it was crossing a moral line in a way. They also had no clue when that opportunity would present itself. However it wasn't beyond consideration. Before they could get any further in this conversation everyone heard several explosions break out and felt vibrations. Mace Windu then received a communication as everyone heard sounds of fighting breaking outside. Windu then turned to them looking a little panicked.

"Corescuscants under attack a massive fleets in orbit and a droid army has taken to the streets we need to move now sound the invasion alarm!" Windu ordered.

In the break room the entire task force sat now including Echo as well they conversed. They stopped as they heard rumbling from outside and looked at one another.

"The bloody hell ya suppose that is?" Questioned Roach breaking the silence that had broken out.

Then all the sudden load air raid horn went off inside the base that signaled invasion. Everyone immediately looked at one another surprised that the separatists would risk an invasion this risky with Price having hammered them like he was the allies hitting the Nazis in world war two. No matter they had plan if such should happen along time ago.

"What the bloody hell are you doing don't you hear the horn get to armory now!" Said Gaz walking in surprised they hadn't moved yet, "I thought we rehearsed this guys?"

Everyone was then quick on their feet as they moved down to the armory strapping on all the necessary combat gear. They then made sure their rifles were all locked in gear. While they did they're hired hands were making sure the vehicles were all loaded up and fueled. The former militiamen were also getting ready to go out as well. Everyone could here Nikolai and his flight squadrons taking off. Sandman quickly came in to brief them on the situation.

"Alright the CIS is attempting some sad attempt in a last offensive they've managed to push their way into many city blocks. Soap and Skywalker are also trying to get the Chancellor out. We need to aid them I'm sending an extraction force to get them good luck." Said Sandman, "Everyone else will focus on causing the CIS as much damage as possible."

Everyone knew the extraction team would be comprised of original team members being the most skilled on that task force. This was undisputed they were nicknamed tier ones and they weren't exactly recruiting any new into the tier ones. Unless you counted Echo who was a tier one only to conceal the fact that didn't actually kill him. One record they had a crew member called Matchstick who was a Navy Seal who had always been there.

"Alright let's get to it." Said Gaz giving a hand gesture signaling for everyone to move out.

Orbit of Felucia

Price had his fleets in position and ready to. The moment was upon him this battle would mark the end of the separatist movement. He had ceased or destroyed their supply lines and cut out critical planets. He knew separatist forces were gathered below ready to make their final stand. Price was ready first the five o first would storm the world and remove enemy artillery emplacements so the main invasion force could storm villages and destroy factories. Price stood over a holo table with other Jedi generals and admirals make last minute plans. However before the invasion could actually take place Hellfire ran in.

"Sir we've run into a complication," Hellfire announced as he walked into the room, "The five o first by order of the chancellor has been called back to handle an attack on coruscant and Tano's group with Rex was redeployed to mandalore."

"Well that's just bloody great." Said Price losing a quarter of his invasion force assigned to the more critical part of the mission, "Alright new plan Hellfire get the revenants and inform Omega and Delta we need them up here in ten. We're going to do this the hard way."

"Are you going to replace the five o first with commando raids?" Questioned General Secura.

"One commando is worth one five o first platoon I can make it work." Price said with utter confidence.

"But it's utter and total suicide."

"I know it's incredibly dangerous which is why I'm going down with them."

"Are you insane."

"I'm ex SAS and former leader of task force 141 insane is part of the job."

Minutes later all three elite units were present in the room standing at attention. They were fine men and Price knew they would be able to get the job done.

"Here's the deal the five o first is not with us so we're gonna fulfill their job. we're going to air drop in and do what the five o first was originally assigned to do and take out artillery batteries. Once on the ground you should first of all know it's a very hostile environment and then secondly the enemy is being lead by trandoshan mercenaries. Is everything understood?"

"We'll we be one unit or three separate units?" Boss questioned.

"Three separate units this needs to be done quickly so we're splitting up for the first half presumably after the artillery batteries are destroyed, we will link up in a location marked on your huds there is no extraction we wait till the 327th reaches our location then join them for the rest of the campaign."

"I like this plan just enough crazy to keep me interested." Hellfire replied.

With that everyone moved towards the gunships they would be dropped from. These were easily Price's finest men. He knew it was a hard job which was why he was ordering them to do it. He would also be joining them he didn't see much logic in not joining them even though it was heavily advised against.

Price joined the revenants his original squad they had plenty of good memories together threw out the course of the war. Although he really did want at least a beer with the men of goliath. They really were his people after all.

The revenants themselves had taken many influences from their leader. Most notably there choice of weaponry. Many were surprised to see a republic special forces team carrying weaponry considered crude and primitive. However the revenants had many responses to that. From a tactical answer of you can't really silence a blaster to a simple I like the noise it makes. They made it clear they preferred these so called "slug slingers" over standard issue weapons.

Everyone was all locked and loaded ready for the mission many had attached the silencers on to their rifles for stealth reasons. One by one the gunships began to take off each carrying an elite republic team.

They moved quickly upon felucia's night sky everyone stood in their ships perfectly silent. The AA guns on the ground turned on them and prepared to open fire the gunships opened their sliding doors. Everyone jumped as the AA guns lit up the night sky with gun fire.

All around him as Price fell he was pretty sure everyone had jumped out but no for sure. Two of the gunships were blown right out of the sky the last pulled up and retreated seemingly defeated. The droid forces didn't seem to take notice of the commando teams falling right threw the air.

Price utilized a jetpack one of few new technologies he utilized upon his arrival in the galaxy. He activated to slow his descent successfully landing in the felucian jungles his M4A1 raised. His team quickly landed behind each quickly grouping up. They could hear the animals if the forest very clearly. Price could feel the crisp night win on the hairs if of his neck. Everything about them was silent and still for a moment.

Price knew he needed to move out fast in fear of separatist patrols so he raised his hand in the air and signaled everyone to move out. The revenants fell in behind their weapons ready everyone had them silenced for stealth. They had a long ways to march and a short amount of time to do it.

Coruscant

Black hawk helicopters flew off in the hair their destination was the senate chambers Soap had told them it was under attack. Then again the whole planet was under attack. However the chancellor needs to be secured. They moved in above where the senate commandos were squaring off against battle droids. Soap and Skywalker were leading them. What was odd is they seemed be trying to get back in and the droids were holding them out.

The powerful miniguns on the helicopters opened fire first quickly shredding the battle droids like they were nothing. After the front landing platform was cleared the helicopters hovered for a moment. Ropes came down and the leading members of goliath came down. They all landed rifles raised the droids were actually in the building. Pyro raised his grenade launcher. He opened fire smiling a little at the satisfaction of the explosions that cleared out the droids.

"What's going on where's the chancellor?" Gaz questioned as the rest of the team moved in weapons raised.

"A huge force of super battle droids were outside we came out here to intercept them prevent them from entering." Skywalker said.

"It was a bad call a bunch of droids breached from other angles while we were distracted now they got him held up in there hostage."

"So standard counter terrorist hostage rescue." Said Gaz this being something they did often.

"Standard this is normal where you come from." Skywalker commented

"Not this exact situation and we'll talk about this later." Said Soap as everyone moved towards the door their guns held up.

The goliath operators moved in quickly breaching the hallway. Droids were shot apart quicker than they could react. They quickly progressed threw waiting no time and not taking a single casualty.

They then progressed to the chancellor's office the doors were shut it was obvious someone was in there. Skywalker used the force shoving the door open several commando droids were seen. They immediately opened fire nailing three of them as the others moved. Everyone charged in and opened fire quickly taking down the others. Everyone made sure the room was perfectly clear.

"Where's the chancellor?" Questioned Soap as all the droids were dead.

"They must've took him." Gaz man stated.

"Thank you Captain obvious." Sandman stated, "On the bright side they won't get far the five o first brought fleet."

"We gotta get up there." Skywalker stated.

Everyone felt several explosions break out and a communication broke out. Over the radio a screaming soldier.

"They pushed past the bridge we can't hold em back!" He yelled over the com link.

"Hold on soldier we're bring support!" Soap yelled back over the line then turned to Skywalker, "We gotta get in there and repel the attack force in the city first sir."

"Let's make it quick." Skywalker ordered.

Everyone ran back outside the helicopters landed out front. Quickly everyone entered one of the helicopters jet's went screeching overhead as Nikolai had entered the fight. Fives took hold on one of the chopper guns as they took off. They were headed to a tense zone of a bitter fighting.

The choppers flew towards a city block where republic forces aided by goliath units were squaring off against a great number of battle droids. Fives opened fire with the choppers fifty caliber minigun. The bullets ripped right threw the battle droids tearing them apart. The other choppers did the same thing. Pyro pulled out a LWS rocket launcher and opened fire at a droid tank.

Meanwhile Soap,Roach,Ghost, and Gaz lowered themselves down on ropes following Skywalker. They all quickly opened fire killing numerous droids as the Jedi moved forward cutting down numerous droids. The rest of the task force followed suit coming down rather quickly. This was except for Marksman and Archer who flew high above in a little bird with sniper rifles.

Fives arrived on the ground and raised his assault rifle moving with the task force quickly shooting apart battle droids. Numerous clone troopers followed behind to help them fight the invading force.

Pyro still had plenty of rockets as he opened fire on a tank the impact and explosion crippled it causing it to stop moving as smoke rose from it. The snipers above picked off mainly super battle droids and droidekas. The task force moved to see a single arc trooper holding down the line with a rifle and pistol.

They opened fire as they moved in shooting down several battle droids about to overwhelm him. Soap met up with the man as the rest of the force moved in against their enemy.

"Soldier what's your name?"Soap questioned .

"Captain Fordo sir," The trooper replied.

"What's the current situation?" Soap questioned as two more jets flew overhead low running an air strike against droid forces.

"They're currently holding onto the bridge using it as a vantage point to push further in." Fordo explained.

"Alright let's push em further back than." Soap replied.

The attack force moved very quickly and killed very quickly changing the tide of the battle pushing the droids back. They blew up numerous droid positions before managing to shove the droids towards the bridge. Several landing craft were on it.

"Everyone final push!" Ghost yelled over the com link.

Apache helicopter's flew in unleashing rockets upon the enemy position blowing them away. The task force spearheaded the advance quickly moving upon the br8dge and engaging the enemy in a fierce fire fight. Two operators were killed as all coruscant forces pulled together and helped press the advance.

Finally Nikolai himself flew over with an AC-130 spectre gunship and brought the rain. Droid forces were blown away as their ships were blown up and they came under extremely heavy fire. The battle ended with a droid defeat.

"Alright world just in the five o first and the twenty twelfth have arrived and are stopping the separatist escape we need to get up there and free the chancellor." Skywalker told goliath.

"Alright let's move out!"Soap ordered as the black hawks sent into space flight mode and came in for landing.

Felucia

In the darkness Price and the revenants had been marching threw the darkness approaching the AA guns. It was heavily guarded by battle droids and two tanks. They stood hidden within the trees of the jungle planet. Quickly Draig and Jaig took aim with their sniper rifles. Insurgent and Warface brought out rocket launchers eyes in the tanks.Price and the rest of team raised their assault rifles ready for Price to give the signal.

Price raised his hand and gave the signal to strike. Everyone moved very quickly as the snipers opened fire first. Numerous battle droids splattered upon impact of the sniper rounds. The rockets took flight as well striking the tanks just right disabling them after two shots. Everyone else opened fire with their rifles as they moved in.

Price quickly shot apart a group of B1 battle droids as the squad quickly killed the others in a quick fire fight. Every droid was shot apart very quickly to avoid reinforcements being called in. Everyone kept their rifles raised expecting more droids to come in.

Warface and Insurgent meanwhile set the charges on the AA guns very quickly. However a droid gunship on patrol moved in detecting the brief fire fight. More droids were moving in these were B2s. Laser fire broke immediately Price grabbed his M4 and opened fire at the assaulting droids. The sniper team did as well. The gunship dropped off more enemy forces.

Hellfire and Meds opened fire at the descending battle droids shooting several before they could touch the ground. With the charges set Warface and Insurgent were now fully engaged in the firefight.

"Charges set!" Warface announced.

"Then let's get the hell out of here!" Price ordered as droid forces were pouring in.

Quickly the revenants moved out as Price set off the charges once they reached a safe distance. The AA guns exploded triggering a much larger explosion that caught the droids in the crossfire.

Price and his men ran threw the jungle they could hear numerous explosions from the destruction of other AA guns. Price was glad he could literally hear near the success of the other commando teams.

"Alright let's move out to the rendezvous point." Price ordered the revenants as they changed course heading towards the rendezvous point.

They moved threw the jungle fast and quite like they could hear droid patrol ships flying above. It began to remind Price of the stories he'd heard about the Vietnam war from Americans he'd met.

The men kept moving before they began to hear metal feet moving threw the jungle. Then laser fire broke out from the trees of the jungle as commando droids being accompanied by trandoshan mercenaries ambushed them.

Price and his men all opened fire in all directions not to sure where the enemy as the night and the jungle made it confusing. The trandoshans had been contracted to kill or capture Colonel Price.

It seemed they were surrounded and firing in every single direction laser fire was coming from. Warface threw out thermal detonators that exploded clearing out some of the enemy force. However as he was about to get another grenade out a laser bolt struck him right in the right shoulder blade. He grabbed his pistol and opened fire with it seeing trandoshan. He shot one threw the head as the other took cover.

Insurgent moved into to aid him quickly shooting out the other trandoshan only for commando droids to move in. He and Warface fired off at the swift droids killing two of them. Insurgent switched to the grenade launcher on his rifle and fired it. The explosion cleared out the droids.

Hellfire had Price's back as they engaged numerous enemy forces in combat killing many of them. An enemy grenade went off Cyborg went down wounded from the explosion. Jaig and Draig who had switched to SMGs moved in to cover him from enemies throwing their grenades back at the enemy.

Meds made his way over to there hacker pilot who looked very disoriented and was breathing hard.

"Hang on brother I'll patch you up." Meds said as he got out his medical gear.

"I always did want to go out with a bang." Cyborg said trying to lighten the situation up a bit.

Price switched to the grenade launcher on his weapon as well the explosion tore apart droids and trandoshans alike. In the sky above a gunship flew over dropping off soldiers coming from the sky on jet packs. Captain Rex and Echo with six other five o first arc troopers came down squeezing the trigger on their blasters as they moved in. Rex landed and the arcs set up a perimeter quickly taking out droids and trandoshans alike.

"What the bloody hell Rex I was told you were sent to coruscant!" Price yelled as the fight was being quickly turned around.

"We heard about your batshit crazy mission and naturally we had to join you." Rex replied, "We got on an LAAT used your com link to find you and flew in."

"Well it's good to have you Captain." Price replied.

"Honor to fight alongside you general." Rex replied as he shot off both his laser pistols.

They now had a total of twelve men a full squadron on earth. The squadron quickly stood their ground and fought the enemy back hard. After thirty minutes of intense fighting the droids had lost fifty soldiers the trandoshans lost ten. The enemy was defeated and the squadron under Price moved out quickly going on a new path.

The squadron kept on moving threw the thick jungle before coming to a bridge that lead towards the village. Price was getting very suspicious as when he looked over the bridge it was under heavy guard.

"They knew we were coming here." Price said expressing his suspicion, "How only a few people knew about this mission."

"Are you suggesting we've got a traitor in our midst?" Hellfire asked.

"We'll figure this out get delta and omega on a closed frequency inform not to go to the original rendezvous point."

"On it where are sending them instead?" Questioned Hellfire.

Price meanwhile had taken out a holo map which had locations his recon units had mapped out. He grinned getting an idea seeing a munitions factory marked. He quickly updated everyone's hud using his tablet. The munitions factory was marked on it.

"We're gonna trade they want the village fine with me but we're taking their munitions factory." Price ordered the squadron as Hellfire told Delta and Omega.

"General what of Cyborg I was able to patch him up but his wounds will get worse if I can't get him better treatment." Meds questioned as Cyborg was being aided by Draig and Jaig.

"He'll have to hang on for just a little longer just do what you can for him." Price ordered, "We'll link up with the other two squadrons take and secure the factory and hope the 327th will reach us in time."

With having very little time to waste the squadron moved out with this slight change in plans. However Price became increasingly concerned as for all he knew the traitor could be one of his own men. Not only did he hate the thought of having to kill one of them but also if that were true no telling how much the droids actually knew right now or how many were going to die from it.

TFG hangar

Skywalker was already in space with Kenobi and the CIS was trapped no hope of escape. The chancellor would be rescued but that wasn't Goliath's concern. No Soap had been given a different agenda from Windu.

He'd gathered a two groups from the task force to execute the plan. The first group was Gaz,Yuri,the FNG, and Pyro. The second group was Ghost, Fives,Roach, and Marksman. He had assigned them group A and B when referring to the mission.

"Alright it is imperative Dooku be taken alive." Soap started off, "Windu has a feeling threw the force Skywalker will kill him. We need him for further questioning which will be carried out by the Jedi. Group A that's where you come in make sure Dooku does not die you'll be boarding following Skywalker flown in on a high powered craft. Group B your job is to kill Grievous he leaves alive we'll have issues. Of course you won't fight him directly instead you will place a nuclear device on the invisible hand and detonate. This a different type of device the emp will disable the ship's escape mechanism which us why you need to plant it in a very specific section of the ship. It will give you ten minutes after the emp before it explodes effectively destroying the ship. This so everyone can get off the ship understood?"

"Yes sir." Everyone replied in perfect unison.

"Alright move out we don't have all day." Soap ordered everyone quickly ran towards the transports.

Everyone gathered in the transports that closed quickly. They all bad their rifles ready as they quickly locked and loaded. Ghost locked at the nuclear device which sat in the middle of the cabin. It was smaller than expected however it would make it easier to complete the mission.

The aircraft took off leaving TFG headquarters and breaking orbit very quickly flying into the fight above. Explosions broke every where with thunderous effect. The pilots flew very carefully avoiding numerous volleys of fire power. The sky was filled with action. Clone escorts took off several interceptors flying towards their position.

Both teams began to worry they would be blown out of space before they could arr9ve at the ship. However this was not the case as they both came upon the hangar of the invisible hand quickly accelerating in. Both craft entered and the doors opened both teams quickly coming out.

The two Jedi were already engaged with battle droids. The goliath operators opened fire quickly putting two bullets in each battle droid located in the room. Both Jedi turned to meet the operators.

"Glad you finally arrived." Skywalker said seeing the men he was assigned.

"We had to pick something up." Said Gaz as he quickly shot apart two super battle droids entering the room.

Quickly Roach and Marksman brought out the nuclear device. The Jedi however had never seen such a device. Carefully it was placed on the ground.

"We're going to place this in a certain area of the ship in the meantime get the venators to stop shooting this device will disable the ship for ten minutes. That is how much time you will have to find the chancellor arrest Dooku and get here before we need to go." Ghost explained, "Cause in ten minutes this thing will blow up the entire ship."

"Really you couldn't have given us more time?" Skywalker questioned.

"You have five minutes before we reach our destination and I'll give you another five before I activate the device while we guard it." Ghost said deciding t0 by them more time, "Gaz's team will aid you in getting there."

"I'll get the venators to stop firing hopefully we can get this done before dieing." Skywalker said shaking his head, "Of course you guys would turn this into a suicide mission."

Both teams split up with Gaz's following Skywalker and Kenobi towards an elevator. Meanwhile Ghost lead his team with the device into a different section going down a hallway guns raised.

As they moved down the long hall way super battle droids were deployed to cut them off. Ghost opened fire with his ACR the bullets tearing threw the head of one before the rest of the team opened fire. The droids were quickly downed as they moved threw the hallway.

However as they came to the door of the room they needed to enter droidekas cut them off in the hallway on both ends.

"Bloody hell get the device set in five minutes." Ghost ordered as he opened fire.

Both him and Roach stood outside covering the hall utilizing grenades on the shielded droids. Meanwhile Fives and Marksman moved into the room and got the device ready. They could hear the gunshots breaking out side. It was ready all they had to was press a button combination.

The two men nodded then locked and loaded their M4A1s and then sprinted outside. Both men unloaded on enemy droids on both sides of the hall way. Laser bolts flew at them but the team held their ground. The fire fight free very intense as it was extreme close quarters. Ghost felt a laser strike very close to his head the heat made it evident. He threw a drag down the hallway. The droids were shredded.

"Skywalker hurry up!" Ghost yelled as droid forces kept pouring in.

Fives utilized droid poppers greatly to their advantage disabling large groups of droids coming at them. Roach with a Scar L looked around and saw droids coming down the hallway firing the rifle killing it. The emp then went off right as commando droids filled the hallway the droids were disabled immediately.

"That cut a little close don't you think?" Questioned Fives seeing ten commando droids who definitely would've killed many of them.

"Fives this entire mission cuts it close." Said Marksman pointing at the nuclear device right behind them.

"You got a point." Fives said realizing he survived Palpatine but he might not survive this operation.

Meanwhile Gaz and his team were with Kenobi and Skywalker right as they were fighting Dooku. Gaz quickly got the chancellor up and ready to be extracted. However the team was powerless to aid the fight without killing Dooku the entire reason they were here was to keep him alive.

However as Kenobi went down they considered they might have no choice seeing the odds were changing. On the bright side the droids were now in active they were hoping it would've also killed Grievous. However the FNG locked outside in the window and saw one there ships leaving.

"Guys I think someone jacked our craft." Said the FNG pointing at it.

"You gotta be kidding me." Said Gaz, "If that's Grievous the nukes pointless."

"The what?" Palpatine asked now concerned for his safety.

Finally Skywalker managed to cut off Dooku's hands and place both lightsabers around his neck. Gaz and his team quickly raised their rifles and surrounded him knowing it really wasn't necessary but they needed to feel useful.

"Well these are useless." Said the FNG taking out a pair of handcuffs.

"Good I think we all agree he's too dangerous to be kept alive kill him." The chancellor ordered getting a look from Dooku.

"We were told to bring him alive." Gaz replied.

"And I don't think it's the Jedi way." Anakin said feeling the pressure.

"I am the chancellor I out rank whoever gave you that ordered," Said the Chancellor knowing they were becoming pressed for time.

Gaz's com link went off it was Ghost he quickly answered it to here a panicked voice on the line.

"Gaz we're running low on time!" Ghost yelled over the com link.

"Do it!" The chancellor said.

Anakin quickly decapitated Dooku and Gaz and his team had failed their objective this was gonna be pretty hard to explain back home. The FNG and Yuri lifted up Kenobi and everyone sprinted out of the bridge needing to leave before the nuke went off.

Ghost looked at his team with three minutes left on the clock the sprinted back down the hall past all the dead and disabled droids. To their surprise they had one ship in the hangar. No time to question it quickly they sprinted over filing in the back the other group with a knocked out Kenobi and freed chancellor followed suit.

Quickly with everyone in the ship it took off closing the door and flying out of the hangar. Everyone was on edge as Ghost looked at the timer on his wrist and saw ten seconds.

"GO! GO! GO!" He yelled as the ship increased in speed.

The entire warship went up in a nuclear explosion completely disintegrating it into nothing. The team had just barely got out of range. Quickly they returned to the surface of the coruscant landing on a platform. Everyone was breathing hard for a moment just barely avoiding complete annihilation.

Soap and the coruscant guard met them as they got out. Soap looked around for the prisoner Dooku who was nowhere to be found. He immediately concluded Skywalker had killed him. More bad news from the mission was about to be debriefed when everyone got back to base.

Felucia

Price and his squadron marched upon a hill that overlooked the munitions factory he hadn't undergone another ambush luckily. This helped him to further believe the traitor wasn't one if his men. However it also made matters more complicated.

He looked at the munitions factory threw his binoculars small droid patrols outside with a watch tower. An electric fence surrounded it there were also numerous trandoshan mercenaries. Everyone locked and loaded their rifles ready go.

Omega and Delta arrived next to Price's squadron they raised their rifles as well. Both Niner and Boss came towards Price.

"What's the plan general?" Questioned Boss, "Doesn't look to hard to hit and nice to see the five o first showed up."

"A small dispatch but yes we got support." Price replied, "The electric fence gives one suicidal option."

"What's that?" Questioned Niner.

"Enter threw the front entrance." Said Price seeing that as the only way in and the only way out, "Alright we charge in under the cover of snipers."

"Alright." Said Niner.

The snipers all took position getting droids and trandoshans in there sites. Meanwhile Price lead everyone else with their rifles ready marching towards the fence. Everyone was perfectly calm as they stood ready to strike. The snipers put their fingers on the trigger.

Then in a quick instance it all broke out. Sniper rounds flew taking out the tower gunner the closet men to the entrance. The elite units charged right into the entrance guns held up everyone quickly opened fire shooting numerous droids dead. Trandoshan mercenaries opened fire several struck in the forehead by enemy fire.

Price and his attack force moved in assuming a v like formation as they opened while still charging. A laser bolt hit one of the arc troopers in the chest then neck he went down dead. The fight kept up they charged forward shooting their enemies down even as grenades flew at them.

They made threw the great and had successfully killed everyone outside. The snipers got up except Jaig who would stay with the wounded Cyborg. They moved to help fight the men in the factory.

Upon entrance of the factory commando droids engaged them in close quarters shooting them across conveyor belts. Quickly the elite force took cover behind various boxes and machines as they returned fire shooting up the commando droids. As they moved threw being very careful not to shoot any of the munitions.

However as one droid was left he shot a freshly made artillery round the explosion broke killing two more arc troopers. The droid was killed before he could cause more damage. The factory was cleared.

"Alright bring Cyborg in." Said Price over the com link glad the artillery round didn't cause a chain reaction that could've killed all of them, "I want everyone on their toes more droids are definitely on there way. Keep them outside I would prefer if we not engage in too many firefights in here."

"Agreed." Said Boss.

Outside a strike force of droids and trandoshans moved in with their blaster rifles held up surrounding the factory. This was a few minutes after Price and his men had arrived. Warface finished patching up the wound in his arm as he noticed the enemy use droids with explosives attached to them to blow threw the electric fences. He grabbed his rifle and with Insurgent moved outside.

Quickly they opened fire shooting several trandoshans dead immediately. They threw grenades as the rest of the force got ready. Jaig and Draig took to the rough and opened fire from above upon the enemies. Price and the rest charged outside and began fighting off the enemies.

Numerous droids were killed very fast with the trandoshan mercenaries explosions broke as grenades were hurled. However Hellfire and Rex had an idea they quickly utilized. The rolled one of the artillery rounds at the enemy with ran into a group of droids causing them to trip. They both shot the round.

It exploded clearing out twenty enemies but more came in to replace them. The elite soldiers stood their ground and rolled out several more rounds quickly. The fight grew very intense as laser fire was flying everywhere. Everyone was running out of grenades and amou.

Price brought out his deagle and opened fire blowing away numerous enemies. However he knew easily a legion of droids was coming at them and they wouldn't be able to hold out for ever. Price himself was struck several times in the leg and shoulder going down. Hellfire tried to aid him but took a critical hit in the waist it seemed they were about to be overwhelmed.

Then several explosions broke from the jungle to the east droids coming in that direction turned around as laser fire tore them apart. The 327th charged under leadership of their Jedi.

Price on his back saw commander Bly charge over directing his men to set up a perimeter.

"Sir how many injured do you have?" Bly questioned.

"Got one man in the factory he's taken the most damage aid him first." Price ordered as the republic forces forced the droids to back off with the addition of an AT-TE.

This operation had ended in success but left Price paranoid wondering who the leak was. Hours later he was in some tent day had arrived on the jungle world the republic forces had successfully moved in. Price felt better and got up going outside to look for his men.

"Sir!" Rex yelled approaching him.

"Captain how are the rest men?" Price immediately asked.

"Cyborg's still down everyone else is fine." Rex replied quickly.

"Good tell them to get some rest they did well meanwhile I'm going to continue on this campaign." Price informed Rex.

"Hope you don't mind if I tag along." Rex replied the fight not over for him yet.

"I'm all for it." Said Price.

The two hardened soldiers then proceeded to walk together in their return to the battlefield.

Coruscant

Soap had the task force in front of him for his next briefing except Jordan who wasn't even being permitted a break. He was about to inform them on the current state of affairs.

"Alright Grievous escaped and Dooku is dead the mission was almost a bust," Soap started off, "However the nuclear explosion killed a very good portion of the separatist leadership. And we have found Grievous on a planet known as Utapau we will be sending a small dispatch with general Kenobi and the 7th sky Corp to finally kill Grievous. Meanwhile here I need everyone ready Windu plans to make his move on the chancellor. We are not to aid we are a contingency if everything goes to hell. I will now explain the contingency plan."

And so Soap proceeded to present the plan for the scenario in which order 66 is initiated. This began to put everyone in the task force on edge. Especially Fives seeing as how his hard work might pay off.
