Chapter 21: Storming The Base
Then Next Day at the Warehouse (Anthony's POV)
After Ahsoka told Adam and I that she and her master were going to Hoth to hunt for a mad scientist who works for the Separatists, I was thrilled when Adam said that we were going. After she left the apartment, Adam and I went to the warehouse to get some equipment ready. We packed plenty of ammo for our guns, grabbed as much grenades as we could, and even grabbed a rocket launcher with 3 rockets. If this hidden base is holding this mad doctor, I'm guessing that it's going to be very well armored and filled with battle droids. The next morning Adam and I woke up and drove down to the warehouse where we began to suit up and get ready for the upcoming battle. Before we left we grabbed a probe droid, that Zeta or Theta could operate from the ship, and that could be used to locate the base. As we got on the Nightstalker, we inserted Zeta and Theta's chip inside the ship and flew.
Hyperspace
As we flew out of Coruscant, Adam looked at Zeta and said, "Zeta set a course to the Hoth System."
"I'm on it." She said as we made a jump to lightspeed. As we flew through hyperspace Zeta then said, "We should arrive at Hoth in about two hours."
"Thanks Zeta." Adam said.
I began to wonder how we were going to find the base and how we were going to get inside to arrest Vindi. I looked at Adam and asked, "So how are we gonna find the base?"
"Simple." He said. "We're gonna use that probe droid that Fixer gave us. He said that Zeta and Theta could operate the droid and that it was designed to detect hidden bases by locating the cameras outside the base."
"Okay so what about storming the base?" I asked.
"Easy." He said and continued with, "Once we find the base I'm gonna need you to cause as much mayhem as you can to get every droid outside the base. That should make it a lot easier to catch Vindi."
"Sounds like a plan." I said as we continued to fly through hyperspace.
Hoth (Adam's POV)
After flying through hyperspace, we finally exited hyperspace and reached the Hoth system where we saw a republic supply ship entering the planet. Zeta asked, "Adam should I contact that ship?"
"No." I said. "I don't want the Republic to know that we are here. Just take us down to the planet."
"On it" She said as we descended to the planet's surface. As we continue to make our descent, the colder it got, and once we reached the surface, it was so cold that I could see my breath from inside the ship.
After we landed Anthony looked at Theta and said, "Theta I'm gonna need you to use the probe droid to locate the base."
"Yes sir." He said as he made a copy of himself to fly the probe droid. As he flew the probe droid from inside the ship, we could see what the droid saw but all we saw was nothing but endless snow until the droid was shot. We then lost a visual of the droid's point of view.
"Theta what happened?" Anthony asked.
"I'm sorry but it seems that the droid was shot by something." He said.
"Something huh?" I asked as I then said, "Zeta pull up a map of the droids path before it was shot."
"On it." She said as she pulled a hologram of a map of the probe droids path.
"Okay we're right here." I said as I pointed out where we were on the map. "And the droid flew north east for about thirty minutes before it was shot. We'll start looking for the base where we lost contact with the droid."
"Alright." Anthony said. "Well let's get going." He said as put on our helmets with Zeta and Theta's chip inside, and walked into the cold snow.
As we walked through the snow for a few hours we almost reached the point were we lost contact with the probe droid, until Zeta detected something. "Razor I'm detecting unidentified objects five miles west of here."
"Can you set up a waypoint there?" I asked.
"Already on it." She said as a small map inside our helmets popped up with directions to the waypoint. We then began to walk west. After walking through the snow for hours Zeta then spoke in a scared tone. "Razor! Those unidentified objects are Republic clones and Separatist droids! There's a firefight going on!" After she finished Anthony and I ran over to the firefight.
Outside The Base (Normal POV)
As Razor and Patriot ran to the firefight they came over a hill where they saw a valley of snow leading to a small base that was alongside a hill. In the valley were clones firing at droids that were coming outside the base. They also saw two jedi on the battlefield. One was only fifty yards from the entrance of the base, the other was a hundred yards away. "Well they look like they could use some help." Patriot said as he looked at Razor.
"I couldn't agree more." Razor said. "Do you remember the plan?" He asked as Patriot nodded.
On the battlefield was Anakin leading his clones. One clone with blue stripes going down his armor said, "Sir there are too many droids! Our numbers are starting to fall." He said as he fired his two pistols at the droids.
"Just hold on Rex! We need to draw them out so Ahsoka can get in!" Anakin said as forced pushed and cut down every droid in his path. Just then a rocket flew past them and blew up six droids in front of them. The shockwave of the blast knocked both Anakin and Rex off their feet.
"Sir what was that?" Rex said as as he recovered from the blast.
"I'm not sure." Anakin said as he too was recovering. As they were getting on their feet an unknown soldier wearing a strange blue and white armor was shooting down every droid that was in his sights. He then reached at his belt and pulled a grenade and threw it at the center of five droids. As Anakin got up he recognized the unknown soldier, it was the same soldier he talked to over Ryloth. "What the?" He asked himself. "Patriot!" Anakin quickly got up and tackled patriot to the ground. "Patriot you are under arrest for crimes against the Republic." He said as he ignited his lightsaber and placed it behind Patriot's head.
"You really want to start this right now!" Patriot said, as he turned his head towards Anakin and noticed a couple of droids sneaking up behind him. Patriot quickly throws Anakin off his back and shoots the droids.
"Thanks." Anakin said as he got up and quickly ignited his lightsaber to deflect some of the bullets that were coming from the droids. "But you are still under arrest."
"We don't have time for this!" Patriot said as he punched a commando droid in the face. "Now come on! Our friends need our help!" Patriot said. After he had said that Anakin and Rex focused their attention to droids that were coming out of the base. The three of them ran over to a nearby barricade that was sticking out of the snow. "What's your plan Skywalker?" Patriot said while he started shooting from the barricade.
"My padawan is inside the base looking for Vindi!" He said as he deflected bullets coming at him. He then asked, "What are you doing here?!"
"Same reason as you!" He said while he continued to shoot the droids. "My friend and I are here to help arrest Vindi!"
"Where's your friend?!" He asked.
"Inside the base looking for Vinid!" Patriot said.
Rex then shouted, "Sir more droids coming out of the base!"
"It looks like we may have our hands full here." Patriot said to Anakin as he reloaded his gun.
"Let's hope that my padawan and your friend can get Vindi." Anakin said as Patriot finished reloading and started firing at the droids.
Lab Inside The Base
While the battle was being taken outside the base, inside it was a lab where Vindi was preparing his Omega Suit until he got a message from Count Dooku. Vindi answered the call where a hologram of the count appeared right in front of him. "Count Dooku."
"Dr. Vindi. I am hearing that your base is under attack by the Republic." He said to him.
"Yes, the Republic attacked the base a few hours ago." Vindi said as he continued to make the final adjustments to the suit.
"Are you aware that if the Republic get their hands on this suit, it could turn the war into their favor?" He asked.
"I am aware, which is why I took major precautions if the Republic take this suit." He said.
"Do not fail me Vindi." Dooku said as the hologram of him disappeared and Vindi activated his suit.
