Chapter 6: Ongoing Battles
Part 1: First Taste of Battle
On the jungle planet of Kashyyyk, many Wookies are doing their normal jobs and activities as usual, but they would never have guessed on what was coming they're way.
"Lord Plagueis, we are near the planet of Kashyyyk." says Bly in his usual low voice. Plagueis smiles.
"Excellent. Listen well. I want you to inform the other ships to land on the farthest side of the jungle. That way, the Wookies won't be able to see us coming. The key to this battle is the element of surprise."
"Yes, sir."
The carriers land on the far side of the jungles, but unknown to the Sith, Wookies hiding in the trees inform their new leader that the Sith have landed. The leader orders Wookie snipers to hide in the trees outside the village, while others hide in ditches to give ground support. The leader sprints down to the ditches on the shore facing the jungle. He pulls out an ancient looking bowcaster and aims it at the trees. This bowcaster has been around for countless centuries. It has been handed down from generation to generation of leaders so that when they go into battle, the past leaders see them through the battle. All the Wookies put their crossbows and rifles up to their shoulders. They aim. The snipers in the trees give hand signals to the leader, telling him what the Sith are doing. All of the Sith are off the carriers and ready.
Most are wearing ancient body armor and have extra Lightsabers. The two in command, Plagueis and Bly, are sitting on large, horse-like animals called Moontarks. The planet Moontark was named after the animal because the planet is infested with them. Darth Plagueis turns and faces his army of warriors.
"Now, at last, we will conquer the galaxy and call it our own!" the army yells.
Plagueis, Bly, and the army march through the jungle toward the shore, bellowing war cries. The Wookie leader, Tarnarfull, orders the snipers to fire on the first line of men. The snipers aim and wait. Plagueis and Bly come out first and then the first line. They aim and pull the trigger.
Six Sith are shot in the head, blood spatters on the trees. Then all of the sudden, three large explosions go off, blowing up in the middle of the army. The Wookies jump out of the ditches and charge toward the Sith, with Tarnarfull in front. Plagueis and Bly jump off their Moontarks and kill the two snipers. They run, leading the rest of the army toward the Wookies. The fight is on.
Meanwhile on Coruscant, Yoda and his Jedi walk on their carriers. Paregus walks toward Yoda.
"Goodbye, my old friend. May the Force be with you." Yoda looks at Paregus.
"Goodbye." Yoda walks on the platform as it closes. The ship takes off. Paregus walks toward his ship with a group of six Jedi.
"Now, listen. We need to bring this Sith into custody. He may know the whereabouts of the real mind behind the attacks and this war." The other Jedi nod, and walk on the ship. It zooms out of the hanger bay.
On Hoth, Baronus is with Meedo, Barok, and Palnaro. They are watching the horizon.
"Why did Plagueis sent us here?" asks Barok.
"He wanted us to come here so that he could contact us. He put us here so that the Coruscant Government couldn't find us, and he wanted us to try to lure the Jedi here." responds Meedo.
"What is the point of that?" questions Palnaro.
"To find out who are the leaders." explains Baronus.
"But-" says Palnaro.
"Would you shut up!" yells Baronus.
Shots can be heard for miles as Wookies and the Sith engage in a bloody battle. Wookie cannons are firing endlessly, tearing Sith from limb to limb. Tarnarfull uses his bowcaster well as he jumps up, smashes one's head into the ground, and shoots three at once. Plagueis runs and jumps, cutting many Wookies' heads off at once. He then sees Tarnarfull. He must be taken down!
In a matter of seconds, Plagueis pulls out another Lightsaber, a red one, he sprints, cutting at least twenty Wookies in half, and kicks Tarnarfull in the face. He falls to the ground. Tarnarfull leaps up. He puts his hands up, the right one in front of the left one, and gets into a combat stance. Plagueis leaps toward Tarnarfull with his two Lightsabers. Tarnarfull turns behind Plagueis and slams him in the back. Plagueis falls to the ground. He gets up and wipes off the blood running down his chin. He stares at Tarnarfull. He then runs and tries to punch the Wookie leader, but he blocks it. They go back and forth at each other. At the other side of the jungle, the carrier arrives. Yoda runs out. He hears the loud clatter of blasters and Wookie cries. He leads the Jedi through the jungle. They arrive and see the Wookies and the Sith fighting. Being destroyed, my friends are! Yoda then Force runs at the Sith and slashes with his Lightsaber. The other Jedi charge at them. Plagueis looks with a surprised look on his face.
What! Plagueis kicks Tarnarfull in the stomach and Force pushes him in a tree. He is out cold. He sees Yoda. He must be the leader. Plagueis retrieves his black Lightsaber and runs toward Yoda. Yoda sees him. He also starts running at Plagueis. They both clash Lightsabers.
Meanwhile, Paregus' ship lands on the outskirts of Hoth. Paregus gets out as do the other six. He pulls out his binoculars. He sees a small building and beside it, a ship. That's where they are! He puts it away, and leads the other Jedi near the building. Baronus sees the Jedi. He alerts the others.
"It looks like my master's plan worked." says Baronus.
Paregus and his Jedi pull out their Lightsabers and run toward Baronus. He does the same, as do Meedo, Barok, and Palnaro. They all collide together. Meedo and Palnaro are killed, as are four Jedi. Baronus stabs the one, and kicks Paregus on the ground. Baronus puts his Lightsaber away.
"Barok, kill him now. He is the leader." Barok nods. He holds up his purple Lightsaber in the air and thrusts it down at Paregus. Paregus kicks Barok's wrist, and Force pushes him on the ground. Paregus uses another Force push and aims it at the ground that Barok is laying. Suddenly the ground collapses and Barok falls down the hole. He is unconscious. Baronus stares at the Jedi master. What power! Baronus starts to run, but is knocked down by Paregus' Force push. Paregus pulls out his Lightsaber and stands in front of Baronus.
"If you are so mighty and powerful, why run?" He smiles. Baronus yells and jumps back, his feet slide across the ice.
"I will show you true power!" Baronus does a front flip toward Paregus and kick him in the mouth. Paregus then thrusts his saber at Baronus and punches him. Baronus then jumps behind him and kicks him in the back and the head. Paregus falls and slides on the ice. It starts to crack.
On Kashyyyk, Plagueis and Yoda continue to fight each other. Around them are Wookies, Jedi and Sith bodies laying all over the beach. The water has turned light red. The sky has become almost completely black because of the smoke. Trees are on fire. Yoda and Plagueis stop and look at each other.
"Beaten, you are"
"This is just the beginning. You'll see."
Suddenly, six large carriers appear in the sky, shooting at the Jedi and the Wookies. Sand is thrown up in the air as explosions go off. Plagueis and the remaining Sith run to the ships. Yoda uses the Force to make a shield to cover the Jedi knights and the Wookies from being killed. The ships fly away. The shield evaporates. Yoda looks at the destruction with a grim and sad face. Many Wookies and Jedi were killed. Yoda sees that Tarnarfull is alive and well, besides some blaster wounds. He walks over to Yoda. He talks in Wookie roars and yells. Yoda nods.
"A long time, it has been."Yoda grins. He looks up at the houses in the trees. They were surprisingly almost undamaged. Tarnarfull climbs up the tree and brings down a baby. It's name is Tarful. Yoda and Tarnarfull shake hands and nod at each other.
Meanwhile, on Hoth, Paregus and Baronus have stopped fighting. They are in front of each other, staring into each other's eyes.
"Why don't you just give up and stop this war."
"I am not the true master, you fool. You Jedi are so blind. You think you know everything. Right now, as we speak, My master is on Kashyyyk, killing your Jedi knights and those rotten Wookies. Don't you see. This is the end for you."
Oh, I don't think so!"
Paregus jumps up, kicks Baronus in the head, and stabs him in the arm. Baronus yelps in pain. He falls on his knees. Paregus puts his Lightsaber to Baronus' throat.
"Now I think this is enough! You are coming with me to Coruscant."
"Never!" Suddenly Baronus punches Paregus in the throat, and kicks him in his left knee. Paregus screams as he falls to the ground. Baronus takes Paregus' Lightsaber and runs to his ship. He sees Barok down the hole. He is alive.
"Baronus. Get me out of here!" Baronus stares at him.
"You call yourself a Sith? You are pathetic. You can't even get out of a little hole." Roars can be heard down the hole. It was a Wampa.
"Help me! Help Me! Help me! Ahhh!" The Wampa jumps on Barok and slashes him across the face with it's large claws. Barok falls down motionlessly. The Wampa grabs Barok's leg and drags him. Baronus runs to his ship and shoots off to Moontark. Meanwhile, Paregus lays on the ground. A blizzard is coming. He pulls out his speaker and contacts Governor Marcus.
A few hours later on Kashyyyk, the smoke in the sky was gone. It was nighttime. Large, wooden sticks with some kind of candles in them were lit as the dead Wookies were buried at sea. The bodies went out into the ocean until they sank under the water. Yoda and the other Jedi stand there and watch the ceremony. He remembers vividly what an old friend had said to him years before. Life is full of ongoing battles.
Part Two: Old Memories is coming soon!
