CHAPTER 9





"Destroy those Star Cruisers," Zev said looking out the view port of the Dark Falcon, Glooming Death. Dark Falcons were about the size of Dreadnaughts, but they had a lot of heavy lasers. Naturally, they were all black. Glooming Death and the other two Dark Falcons blasted lasers out at the Star Cruisers. Each had one. "Tell the other two ships to continue firing on those Star Cruisers until our transports get past them to the surface. Once they get there all three Dark Falcons will attack the Star Cruiser in the center."
"Yes Master," a Dark Knight said. Then he was off to tell the communications operator the order.
Zev watched out the view port as fifteen transport ships flew out towards the planet. All of them filled with two hundred clones each. The Dark Falcons continued their attacks on the Star Cruisers until the transports got past them. At that point the three Dark Falcons attacked the center Star Cruiser.

On the planet Nal Hutta the first five transports landed on the Jedi overrun east side of the planet. The Mandalorian clones stepped out in their pristine Mandalorian Armor. Jedi came out from all directions ready to face the new threat. The clones opened fire on them. Some of the clones put their blasters away and charged out at the Jedi with smaller versions of the lightsaber, all of them were red.
The Jedi didn't expect this, but they continued their charge toward the clones. They were much more skilled with their lightsabers than the clones were with theirs, but the clones outnumbered them. Their numbers would have been even if they had arrived at the same time, but the scum had managed to kill some of the Jedi earlier.
Dorn Fett joined the fray from they sky using his jet pack as he fired down upon the Jedi. The clones that landed in the south and west sides of the planet had killed all of the Jedi there and half of that number were on their way in the transports to help the clones in the north and east sides. When the reinforcements arrived the clones easily drove the Jedi back, killing many.

"How are we doing?" Master Fluton asked the padawan before him.
"We've completely lost anything we ever had in the south and west. The east is quickly being taken over by what we have made out to be Mandalorian clones based on the strange brain waves they have."
"Mandalorian clones?! The Mandalorians became extinct long ago!"
"The Dark Jedi must have found some. They most likely have the cloning facility on their planet Korriban."
"There's no chance that anytime soon we'll be going there to try to destroy it. How are our shields holding up from the Dark Falcons?"
"They've been dealing massive damage as one against just this Star Cruiser, but they must also be taking hits from us."
"I've got a reading that their-" The young padawan was cut off abruptly when the Star Cruiser, Saber, blew up.
* * *

Just after the Saber blew up Jedi Masters Hjeg and Silve contacted each other and both agreed that a new strategy must be made. They sent the transports that had brought the Jedi to the planet back to pick up as many Jedi as they could find.
The Jedi weren't very happy about leaving the scum alive, but it was an order by a superior. An order not to be broken. Hesitantly the Jedi got aboard the transport and started away for the remaining two Star Cruisers.
* * *

Most of the scum that were in their ships earlier trying to damage the Star Cruisers had left once the Dark Falcons arrived and now a few more did too, but most stayed celebrating their victory over the Jedi. Dorn Fett, though, flew to his ship and took off. Something was coming, he just knew... Something was coming.
