Thank you for your reviews! I greatly appreciate them!

cloudtifa82: Thank you for your review. Unfortunately, I had written this story rather a long time ago, so it's not as well written as I should like it. But thank you! Serena is a main character, I should present her more. I just didn't want her to end up like a Mary Sue. Thanks for your review!

Hopeless4life: Thanks for your review! Hope you enjoy this chapter!

JediMan: Hello again! That's a great idea for the sequel title, I probably am going to change it to something like I Am Me: Dark Angel. I like that better, but we'll see. Thanks for your review!

Adame shmi Skywalker Vader: Thanks for your review, I'm glad you think Obi-Wan's in character!

Super Tinfoil Man Part 2: Thanks for your reviews! The sequel to this is not going to be Revenge of the Sith, it's going to be in between this and ROTS. But ROTS isn't going to be AT ALL like the normal one. Well, maybe a little. We'll just see!

Chapter 17

Disclaimer: I don't own Star Wars or the X-Men. I do own Serena and any other character I create! Lucky me!

Serena nodded and went back to where the others were strapped in their seats. "Hey, Serena, what's up?" Pyro shouted.

She slapped hands with all of them as she went down the aisle. "The sky, Pyro, last time I checked," she grinned sneakily. Chuckles could be heard from the seats up ahead.

"Oh Storm, Jean, fire at that building," she called out suddenly, pointing to Dooku's head building.

"Sure thing," Storm replied, and blasted the building.

Mystique was confused. "What did you want to blast that building for, Serena?" she questioned, confused.

Serena glanced at her.

"Yeah, other than it's really ugly and looks like a termite hive," Arikara quipped. Mystique smiled, and John snickered.

Serena sighed. "Well, that's the place where Dooku made the potion which made me unable to use my powers for a while," she explained, noticing the angered looks from her comrades.

"You've got some explaining to do, Serena," Wolverine growled, sticking out his three claws. Lady Deathstrike's eyes flashed an angry blueish white, as they did when she was furious. Otherwise her eyes were a dark brown.

"Yeah, I know," Serena replied bitterly, thinking of Dooku, and began to tell them the whole story. While explaining, she used her morphing powers so that she was wearing her black X-men's outfit again.

On the arena grounds, Artoo beeped as Threepio tried to sit up. "What happened?" he asked, confused. "I had the most peculiar dream."

In another part of the deserted arena, Boba Fett found his father's battered helmet. Kneeling down, he picked it up and lowered his head in sorrow. Serena would pay for killing his father.

The massed lines of parked Trade Federation Starships and the droids surrounding the arena, were themselves surrounded by thousands of Republic Starships, disgorging tens of thousands of clone troopers. Beyond, more Republic Starships were landing and spewing out troops.

The Republic Gunships circled towering stalagmites as they headed toward the assembly point, and winged Geonosians fired laser cannons up at the Gunships.

Dooku, Poggle, Nute, and Rune entered a huge command center. In the center of the room there was a large circular viewscreen and, around the perimeter of the room, Geonosian soldiers monitored the clone army's advances on large semitransparent maps. In one corner of the room there was a large monitor flashing a variety of images, like schematics to a familiar planet-sized mechanized weapon.

"All our communications have been jammed, we are under attack," Poggle snarled angrily, shaking his fist.

"The Jedi have amassed a huge army," Nute put in, frightened.

Dooku shook his head. "Where did they get them? That doesn't seem possible. How did the Jedi come up with an army so quickly?" he said.

"We must send all available droids into battle," Nute replied.

Dooku shook his head again dejectedly. "There are too many. They will soon have us surrounded."

Ground fire and explosions rocked the Gunship, and Padme, Anakin, and Obi-Wan steadied themselves. "Hold on!" Obi-Wan cried, grabbing onto a handle that was put into the ceiling of the craft.

Dooku , Poggle the Lesser, Nute Gunray, and Rune Haako stood around the viewscreen, continuing to watch the droids getting beaten.

"This is not going well at all," Nute moaned.

Poggle agreed. "Order a retreat," he snapped, "I am sending all my warriors deep into the catacombs to hide."

"We must get the available starships back into space," Rune glowered.

Dooku nodded curtly. "I'm going to Coruscant," he added. "My Master will not let the Republic get away with this treachery."

Poggle crossed to the holographic schematic and downloaded it into a cartridge. He gave it to Dooku, who took it eagerly. "The Jedi must not find our designs for the ultimate weapon," he said. "If they have any idea of what we are planning to create, we are doomed."

"I will take the designs with me," Dooku replied. "They will be much safer with my Master."

Meanwhile, back in Mace Windu's gunship, Mace stared at the incredible sight. "Captain, land at that assembly point ahead," he shouted over the roar of the engines.

The clone nodded obediently. "Yes, sir," he replied, and the Gunship landed. Mace, Mundi, and the clone troopers spilled from the Gunship and joined the ground battle. The Gunship lifted off with Yoda on board. "Capture Dooku, we must," he said anxiously. "If escapes he does, rally more systems to his cause, he will."

The Jedi Mutant landed quickly at the Forward Command Center, where they all exited the ship and ran up to the viewing towers.

"Commander, what's the status?" Scott asked firmly.

"The droid army has put out nearly all of its battalions, sir," the clone replied, "And they have many droids. But we have more troops."

Scott nodded, and Logan jumped into the conversation. "How many do ya guys got, anyhow?" he asked.

The clone looked at his records. "Around one million troops, sir," he answered.

Logan whistled. "That's a lot," he remarked.

The clone troopers opened fire with artillery, and explosions wrecked the parked Battle Starships. The clone troopers advanced, firing at the massed droids, and fighter droids flew overhead, exchanging fire with the Gunships and Jedi fighters.

Well, that's chapter 17. A bit boring, but it'll get more exciting, I promise. Don't forget to review!
