So the plan went like this: Master Skywalker and Ahsoka were going to knock out the shield. Aliura and her Master were going to slow the droids down as much as possible.
Aliura, Master Kenobi, and Captain Rex were on the balcony of one of the buildings. They were waiting for the shield to pass over them.
Finally, they were in. Aliura and Master Kenobi Force-jumped down on to the unsuspecting droids, while Captain Rex and his clones zip-lined down to the enemy. Aliura landed in the middle of a circle of droids. She ignited her lightsaber and spun around, chopping the heads off of five droids at once.
Then the lasers came. Aliura was forced back by a wave of bullets. She spun, deflecting lasers left and right. Captain Rex and his men were right behind her. They backed up into an open-air building. Whenever a droid got too close, Aliura would slash it in half, or a clone would shoot it in the head. But they were vastly outnumbered.
"Retreat to the cannons!" Captain Rex called, "Protect them at all costs!"
Aliura and the clones backed up to the cannons. She heard a clone yell, "Where's the General?" Aliura looked around. She couldn't see her Master anywhere.
"Captain Rex," she shouted, "I'm going to go find General Kenobi. Stay here with your men and guard the cannons!"
"Yes, sir," Captain Rex answered.
Aliura darted off, weaving in between droids and bullets. Her lightsaber was like a silver wind, sweeping away any droids that got too close.
As she was fighting, Aliura kept a lookout for her Master. He wasn't anywhere near the clones.
A droid came up behind her, and she thrust her lightsaber back and stabbed it in the stomach. A droid shot at her head, but she deflected the laser and hit another droid in the back. As Aliura was twisting to dismantle one of the droid's weapons, she caught sight of Master Kenobi. He was sitting at a table, surrounded by super droids. Across the table was General Loathsom, the Separatist that was commanding the battle. He and Master Kenobi were talking, and drinking... tea? What was going on?
Aliura slashed, deflected, and stabbed her way towards her Master. While she was still a few meters away, Master Kenobi spotted her. General Loathsom followed his gaze.
"Ah! It seems we have company!" General Loathsom bellowed. While Aliura was distracted, a droid came up behind her and tried to take her lightsaber. She was about to fight back, but then saw her Master slightly shake his head. No.
Aliura surrendered her lightsaber to the droid. Two super droids took her by the arms and led her to the table the two generals were sitting at.
"What's your name, small Jedi?" General Loathsom asked Aliura.
"This is my Padawan, Commander Thane," Master Kenobi answered.
"Very nice. Now where were we, General Kenobi?"
Master Kenobi and the Separatist General started talking about surrender plans. Aliura was surprised at first, but then she figured that her Master was probably stalling.
Sure enough, a minute later, General Loathsom roared in anger and flipped the table. "You're stalling!" he shouted.
"Nonsense," Master Kenobi continued calmly, "arrangements must be made if you are to take custody of my men."
"Seize him!" General Loathsome yelled. "If you do not order you troops to stand down, General, then I will be forced to destroy you!"
Master Kenobi looked up. "Truthfully," he said, "I was hoping your shields would be knocked out by now..."
As if Master Skywalker had heard him, the humming of the shield suddenly stopped. The force field began to melt away, leaving the droid army defenseless to the Republic's heavy cannons. Aliura could already hear the first cannon blasts.
"Too bad," Master Kenobi told General Loathsom. With that, Master Kenobi flipped up and over the droids. He smashed two together and then put General Loathsom in a headlock, using him as a shield.
"Don't fire!" General Loathsom choked out to his super droids.
Aliura used the Force to grab her lightsaber and backed up to stand next to her Master. He was receiving a transmission.
"Master Kenobi," the voice said, "we have breached the Separatist blockade. Reinforcements should be arriving momentarily."
Overhead, the first Republic reinforcements were flying in. The were safe. The battle was over.
