Third-person POV POV separatist factory gamma 3
Duncan, HK-47, and Headshot with several HK-50s were behind republic lines after they were deployed from their arrival. Jedi General Luminara Unduli and her Padawan Barris Offee were leading the attack. The world had no name, just a set of numbers and a partially completed factory. The only real thing this would have was several metals that could be used to make ships and droids. The Jedi were winning the battle and right now Duncan was looking at the heavy cannons that were hitting their army.
" Three AV-7 Antivehicle Cannons three guesses that's what's been hitting our armor support". Headshot said.
" Statement: I count no less than 15 clones master permission to engage". HK-47 said eager to kill them.
" Not yet HK Headshot, what's the location of the Jedi"? Duncan asked the B1 droid.
" Still at the front lines we need to deal with the cannons otherwise this battles going to end faster than two virgins screwing for the first time". Headshot said and Duncan was close to turning him into scrap right now.
" Alright HK you're with me along with three 50s the rest provide sniper support when you see the signal". Duncan said as he stood up he was wearing the new Heavy Assault Composite Armor for Duncan's reapers and had three new weapons the HC1 Cougar carbine rifle, the TS2 Inquisitor pistol, and the TS4 Haymaker scattergun with his lightsabers on his side.
" What's the signal"? Headshot asked.
" This". Duncan said, holding up a thermal detonator.
" Big boom then bye-bye cannons". Headshot said and Duncan Nodded.
Duncan and his small squad moved fast and quietly to the clone's encampment and kept out of their sightlines. Once they got close and were in their camp Duncan threw the thermal detonator. It dropped in the middle of three clones who didn't even have time to scream as it exploded. Legs arms and chucks went flying attracting the rest of the clones' attention. Headshot took aim at the commanding officer and fired the clones that were still alive and dropped behind cover. The remaining 11 clones tried to put up a decent fight but they didn't see HK-47 and the 50s move behind them.
" Hostile Statement: DIE MEATBAGS". HK-47 shouted as he fired his T16 Rhino heavy blaster at the clones and with the 50s the last clones didn't even have time to turn around to get a shot off.
" Fan out and secure the area". He told the droids. " HK Headshot gets on the cannons, we're going to give the republic a little surprise". Duncan said as he got on the cannon.
"Ah Hell yes". Headshot said happily as he got on his cannon.
" Happy Statement: Oh I am so glad you are my master, ahh the maker would be proud of his bloodline right now". HK-47 said as he got on his cannon.
" Ok, aim at the AT-TE's then the infantry". Duncan said and he fired his first shot.
Meanwhile with the republic forces
The AT-TEs were moving forward over the last called droid defense line as they advanced to their primary objective. The clones on the ground did as well. The two Mirialan Jedi sensed something off as they felt many died a few minutes ago but with the fighting, they thought it was the losses they took pushing past the line.
Luminara looked up and saw their artillery was fired ON THEM! By the time she saw it, the 3 AT-TEs were already hit by the shots and went down. The next shots soon followed and this time their troopers were hit. CC-1004 nicknamed "Gree" watched as his brothers were flying into the air by their own artillery.
" Barriss, you head back to the cannons and stop them. I'll advance on the separatist's fortress". Luminara said while Gree didn't look too happy with that.
" Yes, master". Barriss Offee told her Jedi master. She left with a group of clones to the Cannons to stop them from firing. She looked back and saw another cannon strike that killed more clones and destroyed more vehicles. The force only let out a sad hum. Barriss didn't even want to be in this war; she began to doubt the Jedi Order's role as peacekeepers after all she was taught that. But the more this war she started to think the Council was nothing more than arrogant, violent tyrants. She shook her head, no that was not true they are fighting to help the galaxy.
~Your not fully wrong~
Barriss stopped and shook her head. What was the female voice and where did it come from and why did she have a horrible feeling in her stomach?
[There is No emotion there is peace]
~No there is an emotion you pushing it down does just as much harm as drowning in it and does this look like peace after all my children have ignored me for too long my Daughter your brothers and sisters will now reap what you all have sown and there's nothing I can do to change it you will all now feel the weight of your sins I love all my children but you all have forgotten me and your purpose~
Barriss' eyes shot wide at that and WHO what this talking about. The force was alive but not like this it had to be a trick of some kind.
~The Dogma and Hypocrisy of the Jedi order have changed the same with the sith my daughter I love my children be they dark or light you all are my children and I'm sorry for what is to come~
The voice stopped and she could feel the Darkside and the light side both let out a sad song for what was happening. She was saken from that and her troops had gone ahead of her...that could have been the force! NO! IT WAS SOME KIND OF TRICK BY THE DARKSIDE!
With Duncan
Duncan stood next to a white flag as he was told the republic forces were coming, led by Barriss offee who was very beautiful. Barriss had brown-blackish hair and tattoos, blue eyes, olive skin and 5 feet in height given a few inches wore a hybrid Mirialan-Jedi Padawan outfit including a black robe and a dark blue cape. Behind her were a dozen clones. Duncan had HK-47 waiting in cover in case the Jedi ignored the white flag. The others were planting explosives on the cannons as they did their part.
" Padawan Barriss I wish we could have met under better times….and places". He said and he was being honest in that.
" Duncan Asheville son of Romulus and Hersilia Asheville born on Balmorra in Bin Prime the capital city disappeared after your family was massacred seven years ago". Barriss said, making Duncan annoyed.
" You Left out the Jedi blaming my family who clearly didn't even know who wanted to kill them and the fallout made Balmorra from the upper to the lower social groups ban all Jedi for the system and even threaten death if they found your seekers going anywhere near their children they would leave the republic". He said and he had researched that little tidbit.
" Sadly yes". She said,
" Well you want to stop the cannons and I want to keep them and warriors on both sides will die and you clearly hate this war as much as I do". He said and he knows she'll bomb the temple and frame, Ashoka, for it but that could be detected to someplace else in time or have her come over and possibly bring Jedi of similar minds. " How about we make a deal? You and I duel right here right now no force powers only skills with lightsabers, blasters, and hand to hand". Duncan said and Barriss narrowed her eyes.
" And the winner"? She asked.
" Well you get me as a prisoner and you save lives and help end the war quicker". He told her.
" And if you win"? She asked again.
" We walk away and you and your men are spared and allow me to show you what I mean". Duncan said and droids came out from cover all aiming at the republic forces.
Barriss took a Form II stance and Duncan did as well.

[Hmm gonna be fun] He thought.
Duncan took the Form II stance and both were looking at each other.
Play John Williams Duel of fates
The sound of lightsabers clashing together filled the air as the two lightsabers met. Duncan used his strength to push Barriss back as he unleashed a fury of strong blows against her. His skills with the lightsaber were indeed impressive as he trained with General Grievous and continued to train when he had the time to. Barriss blocked his strike that was aimed at her head and she missed and felt a kick in her chest knocking her back.
" You clearly have been neglecting your Makashi or your master which tells me many things miss Offee, just what the hell have you all been doing in that temple that's been time-consuming because training clearly was not one of them". Duncan said and he was honestly shocked at it in the comics, shows, movies. Jedi should have been more advanced or maybe that was just for plot and plot armor.
But then again these Jedi were the virgins and the Jedi of the old republic were Chad's. He was honestly disappointed he guessed but she was a Padawan still and it was rather early in the war still.
There still was no excuse for the Jedi to let themselves fall this low and weak no wonder the sith are naturally stronger; they literally are Darwin's law-made flesh. Qui gon Jinn only lost to Maul because he was rusty and Maul was much younger and a few other things but still if Jin had trained more and kept it up Maul would have been dead.
" We are peacekeepers, not warriors". She said getting back up.
" No, peacekeepers wouldn't do the many things your order has done to tell me of the Mandalorian Excision where you're so-called peacekeepers started a brutal conflict that saw the devastation of Mandalorian Space at the hands of the Galactic Republic and Jedi"? He asked her.
" Yes, but-". She said,
" Tell me, sons of Jango Fett, did the Mandalorians strike the first blow NO, you see the Mandalorian people experienced growth in technological prowess and military powers and decided to remain independent of the republic. They refused to join the Republic due to their traditional warrior ways and do you know what the Jedi and republic did it was much the same way they arrived on Geonosis". He said, looking at the clones and Jedi who was already seeing where it was going.
" The Jedi Order organized the Republic's Judicial Forces and Planetary Security Forces in a preemptive strike on Mandalorian Space which took the lives of civilians and has caused a genocide of a culture a slow and agonizing Genocide at that and the republic claimed it was for the betterment of the galaxy tell me does that sound like a good thing". Duncan spat out attacking Barriss Offee with a flurry of savage strikes pushing her back.
" All of this eventually led to the formation of such splinter groups as the dar'manda or more commonly known as Death Watch. That schism in ideology ensured that further conflict would ensue and keep them weak and cause on thing conflict civil-war tell Barriers for all the talk of the Jedi they seemed to be the biggest villains of all, and the funniest thing is that the moral high ground you say you have over the Sith is gone and guess what the whole galaxy will know how you steal children from their parents and indoctrinating to your dying order shame you are too far gone to break free from your enslavement". Duncan said and Barriss just stared back at him. Never before had she heard someone speak so hatefully of the order and she did agree the order did (in her opinion) overstep their authority once in a while the sith-.
Her eyes widened at what she just thought.
" Ah, now you see what I am saying". Duncan snarled as he attacked her. This time she got lucky and knocked off Duncan's helmet, came off his messy black hair tan face and then his eyes now made her grip her lightsaber as she saw they were a sickly yellow.
" My turn". He said and attacked again their lightsabers locked making both of them fight for dominance. He smirked and whispered into their ear, making her blush.
"Y-yy-You Vulgar fiend". She said in embarrassment. She was a Jedi of the order to even suggest she and him UGH that handsome bastard.
" Still not a no though". He smirked at her, making her blush more. He then turned off his lightsaber and ducked under the swing from the Jedi lightsaber and used some restraint moves he picked up and had her restrained and kicked her lightsaber away out of her reach.
" Give up or I will choke you out, Jedi". He threatened her and she refused to use the force as the droids still had her troopers in their sights. He put more pressure on the lock and she was losing the ability to breathe. Her vision was growing darker and then a sound of a blaster was heard. He let go of her and sent an Azure bolt back at a clone trooper and the bolt killed him as she got up the explosions came and the droids and Duncan were gone on a stolen LAAT.
She had failed.
Third-person POV Sepertist FOB
" Zan-Bar Deploy The Vanguards". Duncan said over the com-link.
" Are you sure we have only five and they're still experimental"? Zan-Bar said.
" And the T-70s, T-500s, T-7T Tetrapod and T-1 they still need testing in live combat and now are as good as any". Duncan said and the Muun nodded and did what he was told.
" Those poor bastards". He said as he activated the droids and ordered the tank crews to move out but when he saw the T-series droids he felt a shiver up his spine and that didn't help at all. Those things were not going to be liberators like they were.
No, they were as the name suggested brought one thing complete and utter TERMINATION.
Third-person POV
The clones entered one of the bunkers that were acting as a base for the separatists droids the four clones walked over the droids they took down the helmet flashlights were on as the lights were off making them walk through the darkness the clones stopped as they saw to red optics looking at them. They raised their blasters at the unknown and fired only to see more optics show up. The lights came on and they were greeted by the humanoid form of Series 70 Automated Fighting Infantry Unit or T-70 they were 8 feet tall they were midnight black with blue markings the clones opened fire only to see their blasters had little to no effect. The blue bolts soon stopped as the squad leader ordered one clone to fall back and warn the Republic forces. The unknown droids lifted their weapons and fired. The clones were hit with hundreds of bolts from the droids as their rotary blaster cannons fired. The droids walked over the corpses or stepped on them making the blood bones and internal organs turn into a paste. Behind them, smaller T's were coming out the T-500 faster than the 70 and they moved ahead of the '70s to clean up any more clones.
Above ground was a different story as T-1 Battlefield Robots and T-7T Tetrapods were overcoming the clone troopers little by little. The T-1 Battlefield Robot moved forward as their speed and maneuverability were able to take the republic forces by surprise as they came out of hidden bunkers they were literally cutting down swathes of troops with their twin double heavy repeating blasters only a few dozen were lost. T-7T Tetrapods stay put for the most part and defend key areas where the republic was trying to take. The lack of cover on the battlefield was costing clones their lives in great numbers as they were walking into a veil of death.
The next thing that came driving over the battlefield was a blue and yellow trimmed tank it was the experimental Vanguard the tank took aim at the remaining republic armor the AT-TE's attacked the new tanks but the weight of the Vanguard comes at the cost of it's mobility. The Vanguard Shield managed to hold and when the Vanguards fired it decimated the AT-TE's as their cockpits were vulnerable to fire. The 150mm shell destroyed the AT-TE and the remaining armor was being destroyed the same way.
" General, we're being decimated. There are hundreds of those new droids advancing and the new type of tank is tearing through our forces and Commander Barriss is organizing the rearguard as the droids are attacking their". Gree told the Jedi that was looking at the holo-map and she saw that they were winning at first but those new droids and tanks were changing the tide; they managed to take them off, yes but at the cost of a great number of troopers. Those tanks were nightmares to their own armor units. Then the HK-50 that showed up along with the Sentinel droids and the Legendary HK-47 that was sighted a few minutes ago killing several squads on its own that droid had a long and bloody history of killing Jedi and sith alike along with normal troops. She knew if she met that droid she honestly had no idea if she would win or not.
" Duncan Asheville is approaching the line he's has a whole damn army behind him". A clone said running to the Jedi who grabbed her lightsaber.
Third-person POV attack on the republic line
Duncan fired the T1 Cycler rifle downing a clone trooper and his Armor held up better than he had expected. The reports he was getting were good, they were winning and pushing the republic back. He hoped they would be able to win this soon reinforcement was only a half-hour out all he had to do was hold. The tanks and Terminators were able to inflict large casualties on the clones. A hundred of Duncan's reapers with Zan-Bar led them, causing very difficult problems for the republic. Their own Venator-class star Destroyer had 192 V-19 Torrent starfighters, 36 Aggressive ReConnaissance-170 starfighters,40 LAATS, 24 All Terrain Tactical Enforcers, 10 All Terrain Recon Transports, and 15 Nu-class attack shuttles. Duncan had them repainted red and black. The Acclamator-class assault ship formally the Sea Legacy was renamed the metalocalypse(AN: Thanks Thefallenjedi66 for the name) had been undergoing repair and had 320 74-Z speeder bikes, 30 Low Altitude Assault Transports, 20 Self-Propelled Heavy Artillery, 40 B1 battle droid dispensers, 30 B2 battle droid dispensers, 20 Droideka dispensers, 10 Hunter-Seeker droid dispensers. It could carry 16,000 organic forces and a crew of only 700. Duncan would have 2 ships under his command soon both stolen from the republic haha. He was informed he and his force would be able to choose what assignment they want after this.
" Captain Asheville". A female voice said he turned around and saw Luminara Unduli with her lightsaber on.

" It looks like I can get a workout now.". He said and they took their stances making her charge. Duncan's red lightsaber and her green one clashed together. She narrowed her eyes at him as he seemed to know Form II and he was clearly adept at the form. If he fought a Padawan he would win a knight it would be close but a master definitely not. That is if he has truly received training in other forms.
In Duncan's mind
[OhshitOhshitOhshitOhshitOhshit] He thought.
Resuming the fight
Duncan was losing he was on the defensive and while the clones were fighting fiercely like their General they were being pushed back. Duncan was doing well in the defensive movements. He ducked under Luminara's lightsaber and nailed her with a kick to the stomach. He attacked now and started to push her back making her block him rather easily. She held out her hand and sent a force push at him making him fly back.
Duncan rolled on the ground from the push he was rather pissed off and his eyes turned yellow. Luminara was coming to him and he felt something that was coming up from his mouth and he opened it and his scream came out and caught the Jedi off guard as she was sent flying from the force.
Dunacn had used Force scream, a darkside technique fuelled by frustration and rage and his had been great. He was also feeling weak after using it. He was wobbly on his feet and then noticed Luminara was coming to him but a droid interrupted with a red lightsaber. It's with a rusty red paint job and orange optics looking at a Jedi.
" Threatening Statement: Time to die Jedi". HK-47 said as he started to assault the Jedi master. HK-47 was built by one of the most powerful force users in history and from an era when the Jedi were much more powerful and not dulled like this era. Luminara now had a few burns from underestimating the droid.
" I would expect any less from a droid built by Darth Revan". Luminara said to 47 who was quite aware of that fact.
" Mockery: Your organic flailing's amuse me, records I have obtained have shown me that the jedi have fallen quite far in the time I have been gone as such exterminating your kind will be easier than expected". HK-47 said as he started down the Jedi master who was on guard as the droid she was looking at was a true jedi killer and documents she read if this droid survived the body count of her fellow jedi and clones will sky rocket.
" INCOMING TAKE COVER".
The three turned around and saw a LAAT that was now a fireball of death coming right at them. HK-47 grabbed Duncan and ran for cover and Luminara took off in the other direction. The LAAT hit the black ground and dust was covering the area.
" Annoyed statement: The Jedi master has fled the area". HK-47 as he scanned the area.
" She's long gone HK. We need to regroup with the main force and push the republic back". Duncan said to the Assassin droid. In the following years after the battle of gamma 3 would mark debates over the use of Terminators and the weaponry used as the terror of the T-series would cause PTSD(Post thematic stress disorder) in many survivors against Terminators including Jedi. All this would start a new war less than a decade after the clone wars ended and the new horrors that came with it.
Third-person POV after the battle of gamma 3
" Casualties from the volunteer force that we're here and it's heavy, 430 confirmed KIA 300 WIA and 30 MIA. We expect them to be KIA after some wreckage is cleared out of sector 4". Zan bar said and looked grim at that number and most of them weren't even soldiers, they were labor's and guards.
" What about the reapers, how did they hold up"? Duncan asked Zan.
" 130 KIA 40 WIA and none-MIA the armor and weapons held up and were a lot better than the republic armor and weapons '. Zan said as he had light Assault Composite Armor on that looked a little beat up.
" What about the droids"?
" The losses for Gamma 3 were massive for us 3000 B1s 2000 B2s and 21 HK-50s, and 104 Sentinel droids 100 T-series droids and 2 Vanguards if you want a more in detail report I'll have the AAR sent to you and it should help with yours". Zan told Duncan who nodded.
" The factory here is screwed, we're pulling out of this system taking what we can gather now and pulling out". Ashesa said she and the other medics were done treating the wounded and passed that information along.
" We also need to talk about the next assignment we are going to take". Blaze said.
" I'll figure that out but in the meantime, everyone gets some rest". Duncan said and everyone left the room and Duncan now had to contact Dooku and the rest of the leaders. He started the call and soon he was looking at Dooku, Grievous, Admiral Trench, and more.
" Captain Asheville I have read your report and these new droids and the terminators performed. I would like to know where they come from"? Dooku asked. " You also survived an encounter with a Jedi master and her padawan, a most impressive feat for one so young and your adventure has also brought up an old technology and the legendary HK-47. I trust you have the droid under control". Dooku said.
" Yes count and I will not be telling you about my pet projects, for now, after all, it's better that way not that I don't trust you it's just some toads would sell us out to save their own skin". Nute Gunray was glaring at Duncan who flipped him off. Dooku was not pleased but he would find out anyway he had to bide his time and let his spies do their jobs. This boy is too important to risk on the front as many are targeting him and he is drawing more to their side best to keep him in their space for now and a promotion to Major.
" Very well you are now a Major Mr. Asheville and for now will now handle somethings in our territory", Dooku said.
" Sir"? The newly made Major asked.
" With our push on we need you to handle a few things in our space once that's done you will return to the frontlines". Dooku said and he made sure his tone was no room for an argument.
" Very well, Count I will be arriving back at the capital in a few hours". Duncan said as the call ended. Duncan only could think what the hell was going on but he could use this to his advantage and he would like to expand his forces as well after all if the CIS did fall he'd make sure to have backup plans.
End chapter 7
Well sorry for the long wait and the next chapter will be up at some point and I am taking OC's they can be normal soldiers or have their own ship.
Bman out
