This is my first Star Wars story, and I suck at thinking of titles. But I think you'll enjoy this story a lot. My own character stars in it, along with other made up characters, and there's also a lot of other characters from Revenge of the Sith. It's during the Clone Wars, but it does go into events from the third movie. And there should be a love story sort of later on with my character. Please read and review, it would make me happy :)

The Clone Wars

Chapter 1: Battle Plan

Two Jedi starfighters landed on the docking bay of the planet Hurasau. Both cockpits of the starfighters opened simultaneously, and the figures occupying them stepped out. One of them tall, with short messy brown hair along with a trimmed beard, with a brown Jedi robe on. The other figure was a bit smaller, long dark brown hair – almost black, with a black Jedi robe on.

"So this is Hurasau?" Salo Daast, a just-recently-appointed Jedi Knight, took in his surroundings. Aside from the landing dock and the building next to it, there was a large grassland. The main city of this planet was beyond the horizon.

"Yeah I know…" Zare Ludan, a Jedi Master who has trained Salo for not more than 9 years, and continued his friendship even after Salo was appointed as a Knight. "It may seem dull right now, but don't worry, you'll get the action you're looking for." Zare joked.

Salo flashed a grin, "Well that's good…" Salo's expression went back to normal, "So what now?"

"We wait. Master Kenobi and Skywalker should be here soon"

"Or they could already be here." Salo grinned as he looked back at the two approaching figures, Zare turned to see for himself. "What took you guys so long?" Salo joked.

"Hey you're the ones who kept us waiting." Obi-Wan, a fair Jedi Master with smooth brown hair and a beard returned in the same joking manner. Salo had a puzzled look on his face, and Anakin eagerly answered Salo before he had a chance to ask.

"We were on the docking bay on the other side, apparently you didn't see us when you came in." Anakin's hair was much longer now than it was the last time Salo saw him, back before Anakin was appointed a Jedi Knight.

Salo's expression turned to slightly embarrased, "Well…I was tired. I hate being up so early…"

"Plus the air is thick with fog, we could barely see the ground when we were approaching." Zare chimed in.

"Right…" Obi-Wan finished, "Well let's go, the troops are waiting for us."

The four of them traveled in a transport shuttle that was coursed to take them to a nearby city, where base was set up. It just turns out that this so-called "base" was just a few trenches dug into the ground with awnings over them.

"Some base you got here…" Salo said with a sarcastic tone.

"Yeah well…We don't have the kind of time to really build bases out of reinforced steal or anything." Anakin replied.

"Yeah I guess not…" Salo took a seat on a bench next to Anakin; while Zare and Obi-Wan sat on a bench opposite the one Salo and Anakin were on. There was a poorly constructed table in the middle of the seating area, along with a map resting on the surface – a map of the city.

"Alright, we're going to try and make this a quick battle." Obi-Wan started going over the battle plan, "We received word that the Separatist army is camped out in another city just South from here, and they're about ready to attack. The battle will take place here." Obi-Wan pointed at an empty part of the map that appeared as a grass field, "It should be a quick battle, they're low on reinforcements."

"Already? Then they don't seem to be eager to capture this planet." Salo accused.

"No they're not, they couldn't care less about this planet."

"So then why are they here?"

Obi-Wan sat up straight, "They may not want to take over the planet, but they are using that one city as a resource to get supplies in order to take over a nearby planet."

"And we also think General Grievous is here on this planet." Anakin jumped in.

"General Grievous!" Salo asked surprised, he let out a little chuckle and continued, "So that's why we're really here, huh?"

"You got it, our mission is to capture General Grievous." Obi-Wan replied, "Once we do that, we have a very good chance of winning this war."

"So what's the plan?"

"Well, like I was already saying, the battle will take place in this field." Obi-Wan pointed to the space on the map once again, "But that's just a diversion for the real mission."

"We're going to sneak into the city and capture Grievous?" Salo anticipated.

"You're half right." Salo looked at Obi-Wan with a questioned look, along with Anakin and Zare who also were questioning Obi-Wan's plan.

Obi-Wan continued, "Only two of us will sneak in, we need the other two of us to stay back and fight in the diversion. If none of the Jedi are fighting in that battle then they might get suspicious."

"They'll most likely be suspicious either way." Anakin said.

"That might be true, but at least this way we still have more of a chance of capturing Grievous."

"More of a chance?" Zare jumped in, "I've heard of Grievous killing several Jedi without any help, do you really think only two of us could deal with him?"

"I will admit that the risk is big, but I have faith in Anakin's abilities here, and I'm sure he agrees that he can do it." The attention was focused on Anakin.

"Of course." Anakin answered simply.

"So then are you going to General Kenobi?"

"That was my original plan, for me and Anakin to go, but I thought someone else might like to go instead."

"Me!" Salo said eagerly.

"Just as I thought." Obi-Wan smirked.

"You sure you can handle that Salo?" Zare asked uncertain.

"I'm pretty sure I can, I have faith in my abilities too."

"I'm sure Salo and I can handle it." Anakin half-smirked.

"It's settled then, Anakin and Salo will sneak into the Separatist city and attempt to capture General Grievous, while Master Zare and I fight with the Clone troops in the diversion battle."

"Alright, so when does this start?" Salo asks eagerly.

"Who knows, it could be at any moment. We have troops looking out for when the droid army begins their assault." Obi-Wan answered.

"So it's just a matter of waiting?"

"Yep."

"Damn… That's what I'm worst at." Salo's statement received some laughter from the other three.

There was nothing to do now but wait; and that's precisely what they did, along with talking amongst themselves to help pass the time.
