TaitanoRules555- I have a way to show how the other battles ended up. They will come in reports from the other Jedis so you will be able to get a glimpse
Chapter 14
Saleucami
"Renae!," Ahsoka said through her comm. "We could really use an update!"
The siege of Saleucami had begun and Ahsoka and her squad of troops were pinned down in the courtyard of the droid plant. She and Anakin had split forces, Ahsoka had taken clones to knock out the droid plant while Anakin went for the command center. Renae was aboard the command ship. The Republic forces had completely destroyed the droid battleships in orbit around the planet. Renae was not ready for battle, so she was monitoring the progress on the ship.
"Anakin is moving relatively easy," Renae said through the comm. "Looks like you got the brunt of the forces."
"Tell me something that I don't know," Ahsoka muttered under her breath.
Ahsoka looked over to her next in command clone.
"Commander!" she shouted. "Take half of the troops and flank them! We will provide cover!"
"Yes sir," the clone said. "You heard the General, MOVE!"
The portion of clones started around the back and Ahsoka turned to the remaining clones.
"COVERING FIRE," she yelled and the clones started pouring ammo into the droids across the courtyard.
Ahsoka herself jumped on top of a slab of concrete and started deflecting blaster bolts. It seemed like the droids were drawn to the Jedi more than the flanking clones. The droids concentrated fire on Ahsoka's area and more clones started to fall.
"Keep at it boys!" Ahsoka yelled. "Just a little bit longer!"
She heard shouts across the line from various clones.
"Take that clankers."
"Watch your left!"
"Man down! Man down!"
"We can't hold them!"
"Corpsman!"
Ahsoka intensified her defense and started to go on the offense. She moved forward slowly but surely. Droids were falling left and right. She finally got to the front lines and started cutting down droids. A cheer went up from behind her as the clones charged to help their commander. Soon after that, droids started falling from the back of their formation. The flanking mission was a success. Quickly the rest of the droid forces were destroyed.
"Excellent work men," Ahsoka said. "Now, we have a factory to destroy. Be prepared for more droids ahead."
The men nodded and started towards the factory.
"Renae," Ahsoka said into her comm. "What is the status with Master Skywalker?"
"Just about to enter the command center," Renae said. "Now."
Ahsoka heard a giant explosion in the distance and smiled.
"Alright," Ahsoka said. "Tell Master Skywalker when he is done taking out the trash, he can help clean up this mess."
"Yes master," Renae said.
Ahsoka turned back to the men and walked towards the front of the ranks.
"Let's move out men," Ahsoka ordered and they marched towards the factory.
Droid Factory
When Ahsoka and her troops arrived, the blast doors were sealed shut on the factory. Ahsoka reached out with the force and could sense plenty of droids inside.
"Alright men," Ahsoka yelled. "Place charges on the door and get behind some cover. There is a world of hurt inside that door for anyone without proper protection."
The men nodded and moved behind cover. Three men took their thermal detonators and placed them on the door. Once they were all set they ran back to where the rest of the clones were.
"Listen up," Ahsoka yelled. "Once those doors are off, pour all you've got into that room. Bring the rain boys."
A general whoop went through the crowd and Ahsoka smiled at that. These clones wanted the war over, now. They were willing to kill every droid in the way to do that. Ahsoka nodded to the demolition team and they proceeded to blow the door off its hinges. As soon as the clones knew the door was gone, they all fired blaster shots continuously into the doorway. After a couple of minutes of doing this, the droids finally started to fire back. Ahsoka wondered why it took so long. Then through the smoke, she saw a line of destroyer droids start marching through the doorway. The clones blasters did nothing against those shields. Ahsoka calmed her mind and focused on the droids. There were twenty in all. She reached out with the force and felt the droids inside their shields. She held her hand up and started to levitate the droids. They all stopped firing, wondering what was happening to them. Ahsoka smiled and then closed her hand. All of the destroyer droids were crushed at once and fell to the ground lifeless. Ahsoka stood up and ignited her lightsabers.
"FORWARD," she yelled and began to run towards the entrance.
She heard the battle cry of hundreds of clones as they followed her into the factory. Ahsoka entered and almost immediately began cutting down droids. It seemed that almost as quickly as the droids were falling, they were being produced as well. Ahsoka knew that she had to get over to some of the machines and stop their production. She sliced her way over to a machine that looked like it sent blasters over to the droids in line. She quickly put both of her lightsabers into the core of the machine and it sparked and blew up. Ahsoka was thrown back into a wall and everything was fuzzy. There was a loud ringing in her ears as she looked around. Everything seemed to be in slow motion. She saw clones overtaking the droids and destroying production machines. She reached for her lightsabers that had fallen beside her and managed to stand up. The ringing stopped in her ears and she was back in the battle again. She kept pushing forward, towards another machine. She felt a sharp pain in her arm and looked to see that she had been shot through it. She deactivated her lightsabers to examine the wound. Clean through, hitting no bone thankfully. She looked over to the droids that were standing there.
"I got her," on of them said.
"Do you think she will surrender?" the other said.
Ahsoka smiled and ignited her lightsabers.
"Uh Oh," the first droid said.
"I told you, you shouldn't have shot at the Jedi," the second droid said.
In a flash, Ahsoka moved over and cut through both of the droids. She looked around and saw that her forces had successfully eradicated the droids in the factory. Most of the production line had stopped completely and the ones that hadn't were currently having charges planted on them.
"Renae," Ahsoka said. "Status on Master Skywalker?"
"He has successfully taken down the command center," Renae said through the comm. "What should I tell him about you?"
"Droids are taken out from the factory," Ahsoka said. "Currently working on blowing it sky high."
"Alright," Renae said. "Wait. Master Skywalker says that he needs to speak with you. It's important."
"Alright," Ahsoka said. "Patch him through."
"Yes Master," Renae said.
A minute later she heard Anakin's voice through the line.
"Ahsoka," Anakin said. "Are you there?"
"Yes Skyguy," Ahsoka said. "What do you need?"
"Ahsoka," Anakin said solemnly.
Ahsoka knew something was wrong. Anakin was usually in high spirits after a battle that was won. He very rarely was upset unless someone close to them died.
"What," Ahsoka said shakingly.
"It's Rex," Anakin said. "He jumped on a thermal detonator in the middle of the battle to save me. The doctors couldn't do anything for him."
"What," Ahsoka said, falling back.
"Ahsoka," Anakin said. "Rex is dead."
A/N
There it is, the latest installment!
I'm so sorry to kill off Rex, but I felt it created a bit more despair in the war and it might set up something to do with the Son and Daughter later. I hoped you liked the battle, it took me forever to write this chapter, I know. But I just started college and I am trying to get used to the new schedule.
As always I do not own any of the characters
