Act II, Chapter 23: Campaign in Dantoonie
On a peaceful planet of Dantoonie, a farmer worked on his field. He wipes the sweat off after getting a few pounds of his crop up, looking at his achievement.
Soon several new D79-TC Pelicans flew over his farm house, along with a massive Frigate and a few fighters.
All heading to the battlefield thirty miles from him, he watched in shock as the war is near his home.
In the leading Dropship, James, John, and the Spartans look over the map. Cortana soon appears, looking over the map. She soon expands it, creating several key points on the front.
"The Clone Forces are spreading out, right now Sergeant Bonteri is holding, but no clue on how long" she says.
"Which is more important that we reinforce him and provide fire support" James ordered.
He soon press on his ear piece, "Richard, prep those ODSTs and get those cannons ready. Fire on their armor units" he says.
"You got it sir, just stand clear of the blast" Richard says. On the outside, the UNSC Paris began dropping pods as they rain onto the field.
The ship soon turns it's cannons to the AT-TEs and AT-APs on the field, firing on them with heavy shells.
The Republic line slowed as they are taking hits, soon LAAT/i Gunships flew toward the warship. Adam flew his Booster fighter and intercepted a flew gunships, attacking them with his machine guns.
One by one, they go down as the UNSC intercept them. Soon James' Pelican lands as he and the Spartans, running towards Lux's position.
They soon find him looking over the map, "Bonteri!" James called out. Lux looks at James, "Forgo, finally some relief" he says.
"What's the issue?" James asked looking at the map, "We are on a stalemate, I can't push any further without losing too much" Lux says.
James nods in agreement, "Luckily, we have some friends" he says. Lux looks at James, "What do you mean 'Friends'?" he asked.
On the battlefield, a single G79-TC Gunship fires it's rockets and machine guns. Clearing a path as two D79-TCs landed on the field, soon a Soldier in black armor walks out. Soon followed by a female in the same color armor, they both summon their blades.
Blue blade carried by the male, green carried by the female. "This is Skywalker, what's the plan Forgo?" he asked, Luminara looks at the Clone Troopers.
"Do what you can to open up the front, help Bonteri's men push through" James ordered, Anakin smiles with a nod. "With pleasure" he says, he then turns to Luminara and they both nod.
Soon Anakin runs at the advancing Clones, cutting them down as he pulls out his pistol. Shooting two in the chest, he then jumps over a Clone charging him.
Shooting that Trooper in the back, three Clone Troopers came at him with Vibroblades. Anakin deflected many of the Troopers advances, slicing two at the same time.
Luminara jumps on one trooper, stabbing him as she throws his head at another trooper. With the Trooper distracted, she slice his chest open. She then kicks him aside, "Never thought they be this stupid" she says.
"That's because these Clones are degraded, saving the Republic some cash" Anakin says.
In the Frigate, Richard watches over the battlefield. He checks the crewman, seeing how they are doing.
"How are the targeting systems?" he asked, the Crewman turns to him.
"They are doing fine, but we have another issue. A Republic Warship is in atmosphere" he says.
Richard looks at the radar, "Southeast?" he asked. He soon turn to see a mid-size dagger appear, it soon deployed more gunships and troops into battle.
"Who's in command of that ship?" Richard asked, the crewman hesitated. Richard grabs his shoulder, "Who the Fuck is in Command?!" he demanded.
"Jedi General Plo Koon, sir" Crewman says, Richard press his ear piece. "Forgo, we have a problem" he says in a stern voice, James stayed silent.
"Admiral!" Richard yelled, scaring the bridge crew. "You have permission to intercept the ship, avenge Sally and bring him to hell..." James responded.
"How did you-" Richard was cut off, he then chuckled to himself. "James always knew" he says, he then turn to the Assault Ship.
On the Republic Acclamator Assault ship, Plo Koon watch the battle. He's not surprised that the battle isn't going his way. He soon sees the two Rogue Jedi, his rage grew seeing them fight.
"They turned the Jedi Order into nothing more than a past, ruining and humiliating us" he says. He then turns to the Admiral, "Sir, the UNSC Frigate is on intercepting course for us" the Admiral says.
Plo Koon look out to the view, he soon sees the UNSC ship approaching. Missile slios open, guns turn to the Republic ship. Plo Koon turn to the Admiral, "Destroy it" he orders.
Soon the Republic guns turn to the UNSC Paris, torpedo tubes open, and both ships fire on each other. Blue lasers, yellow shells, missiles, and torpedoes fill the air between them.
The UNSC Frigate took some damages to her armor, but they hold as the 50mm cannons fired back. Piercing the weak shields of the Republic Assault Ship, in return, the Quad Turbolasers fired rapidly.
Soon the UNSC Frigate directed it's MAC cannon on the Republic ship, Plo Koon look with a simple chuckle. "Well Forgo, you have your revenge" he says, soon the UNSC warship fired. The shell pierced into the ship, hitting the Reactor core.
The Assault ship dips down onto the Republic line, crushing any Clone and Walker in it's path. Pelican Dropships flew around the ship, destroying the bridge and remaining cannons.
Once the ship crashed, the UNSC Forces surrounds the Wolfpack Clone Forces. Soon the Troopers drop their weapons, raising their hands in surrender. James walks up to the Commander, "I'll give you some dignity, you have fought hard for what's corrupted" he says.
The Commander blinks behind his visor, "What do you mean?" he asked. James points up as an RM-09 Transport lands, soon Commander Rex along with Coalition Clone Troopers walk out.
He takes off his helmet and looks at the men, "Is this why you called us?" he asked. "No, but maybe we can send more troops to your ranks" James says.
Rex looks at the men, he can tell they are confused or afraid. Rex puts on his helmet, "Attention!" he demanded.
The young Clone Troopers stand in attention, "We'll be indoctrinating you into the Coalition" Rex says.
The Clone Troopers muttered to each other, soon the Commander raised his hand.
They turn to him,"I'm giving you this opportunity to fight against the Republic. Who used us to fight a war against our own friends" Rex says.
He then step forward, "This is no Rebellion, this is our War to Restore the Republic, the Jedi Order that failed, and the people oppressed, like you and I" he adds.
Before they made a choice, James steps along side of Rex. He turns to Rex, nodding his head in acknowledgement.
"I know you have your doubts, but even the UNSC has no intention to destroy the Republic. Our intentions was to show how pointless this war is, if you're willing to help, great, if not, you might as well kill yourselves now" he says.
Soon the rookie Clone Troopers look at each other, soon Commander Wolfe steps up and looks to his men.
"I've known Rex for my whole life, and if something is not right, we believe him. Because he seen what this war was like for a long time" he says.
Soon the Clone Troopers nod to each other, stand up straight and holding their blasters in place.
"WE ARE THE WOLF-PACK, WE STAND BESIDE WOLFE, WHO HAS NOW STAND BESIDE REX! WE WILL SERVE YOU!" they said.
James smiles as his Pelican lands, picking him and many others up. He soon turn to see a Coalition Acclamator Assault ship jumps in, along with several Arquitens-class Escort ships.
"The final battle is coming, We'll need to prepare" Didact says, James nods as the blast door closes.
