Chapter 14: Rage

Gideon's POV

Onboard Lucrehulk-class droid control ship, Tatooine

10:7:13 (25 BBY)

I stand up and look at the menacing group of droids as they were shuffling into a position to encircle me. I take a deep breath, and release it and the Force I had been gathering within me for this moment. Causing them to fly off. I activate my sabres and rush the nearest droid.

Just before I attack it, my visor lights up the various points of weakness, most importantly it's power source in its chest. I angle my blade to slice it open across its chest. I use the Force and rush up to one of the standing Magnaguards and slice it in half vertically and then slash those two halves horizontally. Just to make sure.

I then push myself off the ground in a jump. I flip over as I switch out my right hand blade for my shot gun and open fire on the third Magnaguard. It vanished in a blast of blue light, leaving a burnt impression on the ground. I switch out my left hand blade for my pistol and open fire on the fourth Magnaguard, riddling the torso, causing a detonation. Its head popped off like a cork and slammed into Grievous, stunning him for a precious few seconds.

As I land, I get slammed in my back with two electrostaffs.

And with my fraying temper, caused by my exhaustion, I submerge myself in the dark side of the Force.

I feel Emily visibly recoil from me, causing me to give her the mental equivalent of a boot on her shapely arse and shove her out of my head. My HUD changes colours from grey to red, my blades a crimson shade. Someone says something on my radio, while Emily is screaming at me to let her in.

My armour VI decided to ask me one question: SUSSANO MODE ACTIVATION: YES? NO?

I highlight 'YES?' and feel a rush crash over me. My armour tightens around me, my muscles feel stronger and a rush of endorphins and adrenaline cause my weariness to be cast aside.

I release another blast of the Force and cause the two Magnaguards behind me to be turned into scrap heap and cause a recovering Grievous to stumble. I use this distraction to launch myself at the threat. He activates his sabres, wind milling them in front of himself as he awaits to turn into so much chopped liver. I just swap out for my machine gun as time slows down for me, my insides flooded with chemicals speeding up my reactions and my HUD spotting a gap in his defence. An explosion rocks the ship, causing him to shift and causing me to realign my aim.

I just have to time it right...now!

I let rip with my LMG, tearing the cyborg's chest apart. I land and look into his shocked, staring eyes as his wind milling sabres slow down. His eyes lose their life, becoming two empty, yellow orbs. He then falls forward. I summon all the lightsabres on his belt.

A shot wings me, causing my gun to clatter down as I lose all feeling in my arm. I look to see a group of giant droids accompanied by the smaller droids and droideka approaching me. My HUD highlighted them as SB droids and classified as Tier 9 threat. I make my decision quickly.

I summon my gun and start running towards the nearest wall. Clipping my LMG to its holster, I summon up the last of my flagging strength and focus the Force into my fist and punch the wall. Cracks appear all around the impact point. Then in a microsecond, the crack results in the entire wall shattering, allowing me to escape in the sea of debris. But I didn't make it through unscathed. A panel slammed into my head.

My vision began to blur as I lose consciousness. I can hear Emily screaming in my head.

NONONONO! STAY AWAKE STAY AWAKE DAMNIT! PLEASE CYARE, I NEED YOU TO STAY AWAKE PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE...

And the world fades to black.

A.N.: Gideon is a Force-sensitive super soldier. His augmentations are on par with a Spartan-III. With his access to the Force, he can trounce a well rested Spartan-II team. But his strength is his ability to control the situation, utilising deception and dirty tricks to beat his opponents. I thought I should explain this before I get vitriol on reviews. That is why he was able to beat Grievous, because all Jedi try to stop him by using lightsabres and they don't carry holdout weapons, like blaster pistols.

My apologies to all those who loved Grievous's badassness.

R&R!
