Sorry it takes a while to get these chpts up, I'm only able to write on days that I'm off school (because I'm always tired on school days, and I don't feel like doing any more work than I have to), and if I have nothing else planned. But since Thanksgiving Break coming up this week, I should be able to complete a few chpts at least
Also, I reread my previous chpts and saw a lot o' mistakes…So I'm going to start actually proof reading these chpts so that doesn't happen anymore…

The Clone Wars
Chapter 5: Storm the City
The Clones finally drove back the last of the droid army, they won this battle, now it was time to storm the city. They didn't waist any time, hundreds of Clone troops began to storm, while others went back to their city to restock on ammunition and get more reinforcements.
Obi-Wan would lead the division of Clones that would storm the city in ARC-170 Starfighters, while Zare would lead the ground troops. The ARC-170 Starfighters soared above, lead by Obi-Wan in his Jedi Starfighter, on course for the Separatist City. While in the Separatist City, Zare led the battalion of ground troops. Their mission was to take back the city, and make this planet free of Separatist.
The ground troops made it into the city and were easily defeating the droids. In fact, the turrets throughout the city were helping them out. The turrets that would normally pose a problem were shooting at the droids instead of the Clones. It seems as if someone has tampered with the city's defenses, it definitely exited the Clones more and made it easier.
"Commander, form your squad up behind me and prepare to attack." Obi-Wan called over the ship's intercom.
"We're right behind you General Kenobi." The Clone Commander replied. He moved his squad behind Obi-Wan like he was ordered. They arrived at the city, and dozens of Tri-Fighters and Vulture droids were there to greet them - aggressively. The pack of enemy fighters sped after Obi-Wan and the Clones, and then the sparks flew. The air was thick with laser fire, smoke, and debris as the Starfighters battled throughout the sky.
While on the ground, several of droids met their fate as the beam of green plasma pierced through them and reducing them to a pile of parts. Zare moved through the city streets, destroying anything that took a shot at him. He deflected a blaster bolt back at an opposing droid and watched as it collapsed to the ground. After that, a few more battle droids showed up, along with a super battle droid. Zare felt the force flow as he soared through the air after the cluster of droids and made short work of them. After finishing the super battle droid, he quickly ducked under another blaster shot and spontaneously threw his lightsaber at the perpetrator. The lightsaber pierced into the super battle droid, it stood there completely still with the lightsaber imbedded into it's chest. The force took over and allowed the lightsaber to return to Zare's hand, and the super battle droid was left standing completely motionless.
"General Kenobi, watch out! There's one on your tail!"
"I see it." Obi-Wan tried to shake the trailing Tri-Fighter off, but to no use, "Arfour, see what you can do." The astromech droid implanted in the Starfighter beside the cockpit went to work. It took over the Starfighter to help maneuver, but it still didn't help much, the Tri-Fighter was persistent. Luckily a nearby ARC-170 flew by and destroyed the Tri-Fighter, "Thank you trooper."
"My pleasure sir." The Clone said over the intercom. Obi-Wan continued on to his destination, shooting down a few enemy fighters while he was at it. He landed in the hangar of the Capital building, and a few ARC-170 Starfighters landed as well to aid Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan got out of his ship and looked around, he could tell Anakin and Salo have been there since there were tons of battle droids littered on the floor. The other Clones got out of their fighters and noticed the same thing, but they didn't say anything, they just prepared to follow Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan looked at Arfour, who hopped out of his place in the Starfighter, "Arfour, stay here and watch the ships, and take this incase I need to make contact with you." Obi-Wan took out a comlink and gave it to Arfour, then he turned to the Clones, "Now let's go."
A pile of droids littered the ground as more and more of the infestation was cut down. After Zare cleared out the area he was in, he answered his comlink that started ringing while he was busy with the droids.
"Sir, we've encountered the Invisible Hand, we're preparing to engage."
"Understood, make sure you inform General Kenobi."
"Already have sir." Finishing the short conversation, the Clone Commander moved the small fleet he had above the planet to attack the Invisible Hand and it's own small fleet.
As Zare hang up the comlink, he turned to the small garrison of troops trailing him, "Let's move out!" And that's what they did. They went around a corner and found an AAT causing some trouble for a few Clones taking cover behind ruble. Zare turned to the troops that were following him, "Stay here." He ordered. Zare walked out from behind the corner and got close enough to the AAT to jump up on top of it. He quickly cut off the main cannon, which caused the most trouble, and then he cut off the top hatch and jumped inside. The two battle droids inside were caught off guard and quickly cut down, and Zare followed up by destroying the controls and jumping straight up out of the top hatch. He twisted through the air and landed next to the Clones, who started getting up from behind the ruble, "Follow me." Zare commanded.
The troops followed him as he made his way to the others he left behind, only to find half of them lying on the ground, dead. Zare had a shocked look on his face, but it quickly faded as he felt a sniper rifle bolt pierce through the air. Zare immediately raised his lightsaber to deflect the bolt, "Take cover!" he barked to the troops. As they followed orders, Zare used to force to help him reach a balcony of the building that the sniper was on. He then continued on up the building until he finally reached the balcony that the sniper was on and cut the droid in half as he landed. He found that a few more droids up there too and quickly took care of them, then he jumped over to another building and took care of the droids there. After finishing, he made his way back down to the surviving Clones and ordered them to move out as he did the same.
Obi-Wan and his small garrison of troops easily made it through the corridors of the Capitol Building, Anakin and Salo apparently took care of most of the problems. Obi-Wan and the troops finally ran into several enemies after they blasted into a room. Obi-Wan went in first and deflected most of the laser fire, then the troops opened fire and shot down a few of the droids, while Obi-Wan finished them off. The last droid's head fell to the ground after the lightsaber blade severed it from the rest of its body. The troops followed Obi-Wan as he continued on to the next room.
Once they reached the next room, they found it already littered with destroyed droids, along with a few droids still operational and kicking – well shooting in this case as they opened fire at the intruding forces. They were taken care of without Obi-Wan's help; in fact, all of the droids were shot down before Obi-Wan would have even been able to drive his blade through any of them.
They entered the next room and found it completely empty, and it was too quiet. But by the time Obi-Wan realized it, they were already ambushed. Two MagnaGuards dropped from the ramparts above and killed over half of the small garrison of Clones. The others managed to escape the whirling energy staff that the MagnaGuards wielded. Obi-Wan didn't know what these were, but he already found out that their weapons could block his lightsaber when he went in for a hit, only to be pushed back off balance. He regained his footing fast enough to block the oncoming staff, then another from the opposite end.
The Clones were trying to hold off, if not destroy, the other MagnaGuard. They kept running around the huge room trying to shoot it, but it was able to deflect the blaster shots, along with move really fast and jump really high, so it was difficult to hit. Even though the odds were against them, they were designed to fight no matter what, so that's what they did, they weren't going to give up. One of the troops hid behind some junk piled up on one side of the room and took aim at the MagnaGuard. Once it was stationary for a few seconds, the Clone held down on the trigger and let lose several shots, only one of them making contact with the MagnaGuard, only scratching it in the arm, the rest of the shots were deflected.
Obi-Wan was being pushed back by the MagnaGuard he was fighting until they reached a deadlock with their weapons. After a few seconds, Obi-Wan stepped back and made the MagnaGuard's staff slide off of his blade and cause the MagnaGuard to lose its balance. Obi-Wan took the chance to plunge his blade into the back of the droid as it was tumbling forward, and watched as the droid crumbled to the ground.
The Clones were still struggling with their MagnaGuard, it finished off a few more troops, only a few left now. One of the Clones was out in the open shooting at the droid, but soon found himself face to face with the MagnaGuard, and then the staff driving into the Clone's stomach. The Clone fell to the ground dead. The other Clones continued shooting at the MagnaGuard as it was closing in on them fast. It jumped up into the air and was coming down on one of the Clones, and just as the Clone thought he was about to meet his demise, Obi-Wan jumped in front of the Clone and drove his blade into the MagnaGuard's chest. The MagnaGuard fell off of Obi-Wan's blade and to the floor as Obi-Wan switched his lightsaber off.
Obi-Wan looked around, he saw that there were only a few Clones left. He was thinking if he should continue on with only these Clones left or if he should call for some more backup. After a few seconds of deciding, he came to a conclusion – that he couldn't figure it out on his own. So he asked the remaining Clones as they regrouped around him, "What do you think troopers? Should we call for backup, or should we continue on how we are?" It only took them a second to come up with their answer.
"Call for backup." They said in unison.
Obi-Wan chuckled as he finished, "Alright, we'll call for backup." He took out his comlink, "Commander?"
"Yes General?"
"Gather some of your troops to meet me in the north hangar of the Capitol Building."
"Yes sir, right away." After that, Obi-Wan put his comlink away and turned to the troops to signal them to follow. They went through the door to the corridor that would lead them to the north hangar, opposite the hangar they came in – the south hangar.
Once they regrouped, they would continue on with their mission to take the city back, it wouldn't be long now.
