This is my first Chapter of Star Wars: Tales of a Republic Commando R&R
Chapter 1: Geonosis
It was what us Republic commandos believed was going to end all peace in the galaxy, we knew this was no longer one of our simulation programs back on Kamino. We sat prepared in our ship, blaster rifles at our side, almost ready for anything to happen a few moments from now. We knew our first Galactic War was going to be the most blood strewn war since the very first Galactic Civil War.
My troopers were sitting on the edge of the Gunship and watched as we came closer to are destination; I knew they were afraid, even though they did not show it. The Gunship then started to lean slightly forward I could tell that we were going down, the war was about to begin. "Alright commandos" I yelled, "we are about to engage the Droid Army. You know the drills, cover your teammates….and remember show no mercy." I turned back to the battlefield and then to my Squad of Elites, "After all, they're only droids."
By the time I had finished we were already circling what seemed to be a Geonosian Stadium. Red flashes of lighting were shooting towards green, blue, and one light purplish glow in the center of the stadium. As soon as we had identified the battlefield, a hologram of Master Yoda appeared on the Holobox in our Gunship. "Surround the survivors and perimeter create." Yoda said. "Understood Master Yoda." I answered. We created a strong perimeter as Yoda had asked, and manned our primary laser cannons.
"I can't get a clear shot." I said to the pilot, "Get a bit closer." "Yes, sir." The pilot said, and then lowered the Gunship.
I fired a laser stream bolt, and annihilated part of the CIS Army, the bolts from the droids blasters seemed to have no affect on our Military force. "Sir, I need some distractive cover fire, so we can round up surviving Jedi." Said one of my commandos. I did not realize that we were rescuing Jedi, Anakin Skywalker, General Kenobi, Master Windu, Master Fisto, Master Ki-Adi-Mundi, and a few padawan, out of which many had died, were there. "No, handle themselves the Jedi can." Said Master Yoda.
Yoda was correct, and as a Jedi Master we should not have underestimated his abilities. The Jedi had made it inside the safety of one of our Gunships, and they flew off elsewhere to the next battlefield.
Another figure appeared inside the Holobox, this time it was the Commando Instructor, "Listen up Commandos! We have word that a Droid Army has formed up outside a spire. Sensors indicated the there is a refinery inside the spire's structure, you are to destroy this underground Droid facility, understood."
"Understood, command." We landed in an area of tall rocks and jumped off the Gunship. Our first thing to figure out was how to make it passed the Droid Army without being spotted, though we were the best, the Elite Commando Squadron. "Move out." I said to my Commandos.
"Look there, sir." Said Zack, one of the Commando Elites, "a back entrance we can take that."
"Good eyes soldier." I said to him.
We charged in, not having any second thoughts on what was going to happen, the only thing that concealed our fear were our helmets. We knew everything begins the moment we pull the trigger of our blaster rifles, and pray that the outcome of this war would be the Republic's victory.
