CHAPTER 7:
BATTLE OF GEONOSIS PART II
MY USUAL DISCLAIMER! ALSO SORRY FOR THE LATE UPDATE AS I AM CURRENTLY AWAY ON CAMP SO I DO NOT HAVE A LOT OF FREE TIME
PREVIOUSLY ON THE BATTLE OF GEONOSIS PART I…
"The shield is just too strong and we are losing to many bombers. Should we abort?"
"We should abort. Commander Mark. The orbital cannons are protected by far to strong shield generators"
"Abort it. We need you here now. looks like we need to combine part 2 and 3. I will inform Riven of this"
On board one of the Venator class Star destroyers…
"Commander Riven. Mark wants to talk to you" Captain Rex said, who was alongside Caleb, Storm, Fives and Echo, who was leading the 501st alongside Commander Grey.
"Yes, what is it Master"
"Sorry to inform you, but you will have to combine part 2 and 3 into one. The orbital cannons are being protected by extremely strong shield generators. So you will have to destroy the cannons by ground"
"Understood"
Meanwhile…
"Sir, most of the capital ships have been destroyed as well as the smaller ships!"
"Good Commander Red. Finish them off now! once you are done. Go to the air in the planet and start to provide air support once they arrive! Red, Blue, Yellow and Gold squadrons, go to the planet atmosphere when they arrive and provide air cover"
They soon manage to finish off all the remaining ships and just in time, the ground forces arrived.
"Well, we arrived just in time. Now, let's go"
The Acclamator-class trans galactic military assault ships as they slowly descended into the planet's atmosphere as they prepared for the ground assault
They overall lost a good amount of Venator-class star destroyers, small ships and Starfighters.
BUT THIS WAR IS ONLY JUST BEGUN. THE GROUND ASSUALT WILL LIKELY BE MORE BLOODY!
…
Riven and the specialist began to descend on their The Acclamator-class trans galactic military assault ships. This was going to be a tough battle as they needed to now destroy their cannons which can easily destroy their gunships.
They had thousands of those The Acclamator-class trans galactic military assault ships.
They had tens of thousands of LAAT/c and LAAT/i. The LAAT/I carried these walkers.
The normal AT-TE, which can carry 20 troopers and 2 AT-RT
The Elite AT-TE, which can carry 20 troopers and 2 AT-RT
AV-7 Anti vehicle cannon
The A6 juggernaut can carry 300 troopers
The Juggernaut can carry 250 troopers and 10 MCL-3 light tanks
The T4-B heavy tank
The RX-200 Falchion-class assault tank
The All Terrain Attack Pod
And the T3-B heavy attack tank
The LAAT/c full,
Can carry around 40 troopers
8 BARC speeder
8 AT-RT
And 2 MLC-3 light tank
So the escort fighters were already slowly taking out the defences outside of the shielding but the shields were very wide in it's range so not much could be done as there are very few outer defences as they were either quite deep underground that can only be attacked through a ground assault or they were inside the massive shielding. To make matters worse, the orbital cannons has a rapid fire mode that is solely used to fight against smaller aircrafts.
"We are ready to go Commander Riven" said a commander
"Good Commander Cody. Begin your assault the landing and attack. You know where to land. Immediately after you land, begin your assault on the shielding. Is that understood?"
"Yes Sir! Alright boys. Let's lock and load!"
Once they were at a reasonable height, the 212th, 108th, 51st, 387th, 12th and 128th legions began sending in their LAAT/c and LAAT/i to the party. They had send an invasion force as big as the one they send to protect the Magic dimension. The specialist were in their normal uniform as they refused to wear the clone Armor. The escort fighters helped them to navigate as the air defences and star ships went into the skies and tried to blow up the gunships.
Soon after the first wave, the 418th, 38th, 36th, 501st,195th, 468th, 250th and 322nd all left soon after.
The gunships began to fall left, right and centre. But thankfully, that is this sort of fall safe mechanic that comes into play went a gunships goes into flames. If it is a LAAT/c, the gunship will immediately open up both of the doors and the troopers will jump out of the gunship. It is similar to the BARC speeder or the AT-RT or the MCL-3 light tank. While the light tank will just fall, it has enough support to survive a fall from around 7.5km in the skies. It is similar to all of the other tanks and walkers. So they was already people fighting on the ground shooting their blasters at the enemy on the ground. The troopers have a small jet packs on their feet, so they can easily escape and fall to the ground if their gunships gets blasted in mid air.
So this help minimise causalities in the air once they are in a gunship.
So… back to the story
So the landing was extremely difficult. There were around 40 million of gunships in the air. But as they got closer, more and more gunships got shot down.
Inside one of them…
This particular gunship contains the Winx club, Riven and the specialist alongside Rex, Caleb, Storm, Echo and Fives alongside a few members of the ARC trooper core
"So, Winx club. How do you find the current situation and battles that are raging on as we speak?" Rex asked
"Terrifying. Especially with all this firing. It is extremely terrifying" Musa spoke and the others agreed.
"Well. You will have to get used to it"
"Mark. Do you read?" Riven asked
"Yes Riven. I do read you. How is the landing going as of now?"
"Pretty good so far!" As he said that, a gunship exploded and the troopers jumped out of the gunship
"What are our losses so far?"
"I have no idea. But we still have around 5km to go before we arrive at the designated landing zone. It appears that they have more weapons behind those shields than anticipated. Far more to say the least. By the way. I have a plan. I have noticed and studied the Geonosian caves. They are linked and I see and studied that there is one located 5 clicks east. If my group can get inside that one, it should lead to the droid factories"
"Alright. I am sending in reinforcements and few more squadrons. This should be a battle to test the new E-wings"
"Agreed. Are they coming now?"
"Yes. They are. Go ahead with your plans. I am counting on you on this"
"Ok. Understood! Cody. How far away are you from the designated landing zone?"
"Around 500m. but we are taking massive hits and around 50 percent of the forces are already on the ground"
"Land now and get the tanks to the ground now! Re-group with the forces on the ground and defend at the landing zone from there!"
"Understood. Pilot begin landing sequence"
"Alright commander. Have fun down there!"
They landed with these forces. The AV-7 cannons are to provide a proper landing spot and shield the landing zone.
"Move it! Move It!"
Once they landed, they began the defence to the shield generators and the orbital cannons, which are still focused on the gunships still in the air.
"Commander Grey. Do you read?"
"Yes sir. Want do you want?"
"Tell a small squadron of your men to come with me alongside your gunship. I have a plan to infiltrate their bases from the inside"
"Alright! Gunship 2, 8, 58, 90 and this one. Following the gunship that is turning!"
"Copy that"
"Ready girls?" Riven asked the Winx club
"Yes. We are ready!"
Those six gunships immediately turned East to the location and unloaded their troopers
That gunship opened the doors and they rushed out, to the cave The fairies were already transformed. Riven put on his face plate and activated his guns.
Meanwhile… on the main battlefield…
The gunships landed their troopers and immediately took up defensive stand. They needed to defend this place until Riven and his forces manage to destroy the bases from the inside
But, the factories have also dispatched their droids and tanks and they started to fire at them back.
"Come on men! Let's go!"
They started to push to the on to the droid factory but the orbital cannons proved to be much of a problem. Luckily, the starfighters were constantly drawing their fire so the casualties from the cannons were very minimal. So, yah. But getting through the cannons and the overwhelming droid army is definitely going to be a huge problem.
"Come on men! Move it!" a clone commander shouted as he tried to tell his men to continue to press on the defence despite heavy fire. The AV-7 cannons were providing a lot of ground support as they could easily get torn apart by the air strikes.
Meanwhile… back in the caves…
"I prefer a good fight to all this sneaking around" Hardcase said.
"Zip it Hardcase" Commander Grey told him back
Stella was providing some light as they kept on running through the caves and Riven managed to study these caves very fast due to his enhanced learning. Soon after a few moments, they arrived at the droid factory. Inside it, there was plenty of droids in the making and more being released onto the battlefield.
"Wow. So this is want a droid factory is. It looks so ugly" Stella said
"Zip it!" Riven said
However, droids were alerted to their presence and sounded the alarm. Soon, battle droids and Commando droids started to charge at them.
"So. Ready for some fun boys?"
"This will be fun!" Hardcase shouted as he opened his mini gun and fired it, so did the rest of them and Riven began slicing them apart piece by piece
"A little bit of help here!" Jesse shouted as he was being overrun by droids in his part
"Don't worry Jesse. Papa's here too help!" Hardcase shouted as he opened fire at them.
"Fordo. There is their main reactor. Shoot it down!" Riven shouted
Fordo was the 501st weapons expert. He carried 2 DC-11 blaster alongside a rocket launcher. He aimed at it and the entire thing began to collapse and they managed to escape, only to know that did not work.
"It did not work! Apparently the cannons are not linked to the main reactor!" Sky said
"Looks like we will have to do it the old fashion way!" Riven smirked as he activated his swords and sliced it open. He then tried to pilot the cannon which he did and succeeded. He tried to destroy the shields using the cannon but that did not work. So he destroyed it.
"One done… 24 more top go" Riven said as he hopped back into the tunnels and continued their journey
Meanwhile… at the landing zone…
"Keep firing!" Commander Cody shouted as they had to hold off the advancing droid forces. Then there was an explosion which killed a few troopers. They were constantly taking extremely heavy losses but the E-wings have arrived and the reinforcements have also came. Plus the orbital cannons and shields were being destroyed but they were still coming under heavy fire.
"Come on men! Don't stop. We can win this!" Commander Bly shouted as they continued to destroy multiple droids each time
On the other team…
They had managed to destroy 24 of them and are currently on the last one. But this one was extremely well guarded and there are currently millions of droids before they can reach the main reactor.
They have been coming under heavy fire and have lost around 68 men. But this was reduced to 14 men as the Winx club helped heal them from their wounds, even if they were a major problem.
Riven has been shooting out his blasters and in an attempt to end it, activated his entire arsenal and began to blow it up. They immediately left except Riven who jumped out and immediately went to take over the last one. he then continued to fire at the droids advancing to the landing zone
On the other side…
The droids were nearly there and the clones have taken so many casualties. Just then, a E-wing and a few X-wings came crashing down, taking with it a few ATTE and MCL-3 light tanks.
"Fall back! Fall back!" a clone commander shouted as the clones retreated back.
They managed to fall back. But the bombers have arrived and started to bomb the places as well and the last orbital cannons as they managed to destroy everything. So this battle is a Republic victory
They lost 75 percent of their starfighters and around 60 percent of their ground forces. But this is a crucial Republic victory as the Geonosis base contributes to around 20 percent of droids. So, yah. This was a crucial battle that the Republic won.
BUT THIS IS GOING TO CONTINUE INTO A PART III!
SO I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS! I WILL HOPEFULLY UPDATE SOON ENOUGH
SO UNTIL NEXT TIME! GOODBYE!
