Cotez awoke sharply, something had twinged at the back of his mind, he felt danger coming, he didn't know what kind of danger, but he knew that it was there. He was lying in a fairly large room, all grey awalls, quite bland. He got up and walked over to his makshift closet and put some clothes on. He walked out into the living room and went the the refresher unit, he then walked to the door and went down stairs. On the way down he say light coming out of his mothers room, wondering what it meant, he walked over to the door and peered in.

"...They found a patrol, slaughtered, a yuuzhan vong symbol littered their bodies, it was disgusting, i beleive that they are coming, we must prepare." Cotez heard Warrens voice.

"What about Cotez?" His mother asked.

"He will have to choose his own path, he would be good in the military but i will not force him to make that decision, and you cannot force him to say no either, i must leave now to prepare the troops, it will seem as if we were caught by surprise, but the battle will still be rought, be safe" Cotez heard chairs slidding back, he immediantly retreated down the hall, he witnessed Warren walk down the hall. He breathed easy, he turned to head back to his room, however when he turned around Camahl Sarat was there. The jedi.

"Spying are we?" he asked his tone was friendly yet Cotez could hear, no not hear, feel some sort of hidden intent.
"What do you want?" Cotez asked. Camahl looked at him for a second then smiled.
"You feel it don't you?" He asked. Cotez looked on bewilderment crossing his face. "It is ok, that feeling comes from the force, and i know that you are force sensitive"

"I dunno what you are talking about" Cotez said he walked past the jedi, who extended a hand and caught Cotez's arm.

"You must understand, there are forces in this war that would seek to destroy jedi, seek to destroy all those in connection with the force, if you refuse to believe that you are force sensitive then i cannot help you, but remember, the enemy will not stop at the chance to kill you if it arises, be careful." With that he turned around and walked away.

Cotez found his way back to his room, deeply disturbed by what he had heard, Force-Sensitive, he turned the lights out and went under the covers, it id not take long for him to fall back to sleep. He awoke suddenly to the sound of a large explosion, he felt as if it had been five minutes, however he rolled over and looked at the clock, he had been asleep. He slowly rolled out of his bed, Wait a minute, that explosion? He bolted outta bed an to the window, he saw smoke rising from the gates and several vong emerging. He franticly put some clothes on and found his blaster, remembering what he had been taught by Warren, 'height is always an advantage, if you are on a higher platform than you'r enemy you will have the advantage'. He opened the window and pered out, he saw warren walking down the center street, not walking, running towards the activation switch for the alarm, a vong noticed him and threw a thud bug, instinctively he rolled to avoid it, but several more ovng had noticed him, he ran faster, putting on a burst of speed, but the vong were moving to intercept him.

Cotez took aim at the lead vong, aiming at the neck so the vonduun crab armour would not absorb the blast, he fired, hitting the vong exactly where he needed, the vong spun around and slammed into teh ground dead, the other vong halted and looked to where Cotez was, a leader type pointed and a group started throwing thud bugs at Cotez while the rest ran towards, Warren. It was to late, Warren reached the buttong setting of the alarm in good time, that was when the fun started.

----------

Once the button was pushed a sharp wailing sound echoed through the base, lights went on and men started rushing into the streets, However that was not all of it, men that had been hidden on the rooftops suddenly sprang up and started to unload alot of fire onto teh vong, taking several down in the first 3 seconds. They were throwing down thermal detonators aswell, blowing vong apart, although the damage that they were doing was horrendous several vong kept coming, their armour absorbing most of the damage. Suddenly a second explosion rocked the camp, Cotez looked up saw that there were coralskippers strafing the sheilds, AA Batteries taking aim and firing, only for their shots to do slight damage or be swallowed by the voids, but that was not all, a massive lumbering creature emerged from the now shattered gate out of the base, it was huge, it's armour looked very thick. It was absorbing all damage sent towards it, using it as cover severl vong started to advence, and throw thud bugs up at the men on the roofs, hitting some and killing them instantly, and only wounding several others, the battle was swinging the way of the vong, when the other troops from inside the camp came running down the main street.

Cotez looked up and down the street looking for Warren and noticed that he was in the midst of the battle, three vong had cornered him against the wall and were advancing, they attacked with their Amphistaffs, thinking that he was a defenceless old man, they were wrong. He lashed out with his right hadn and grabed the head of one amphistaff, rolled himself to the ground and kicked out the feet of the warrior, using the amphistaff as leverage he deflected a second attack, and them deflected the third with his fist, Drawing a blaster from it's holster he fired twice at close range at the chest of the vong warrior, cretaing a crater in his chest. He rolled away as the warriors attacked again, he pulled his other blaster out and started letting out consecutive volleys at the vong warriors, hitting one in the leck and the other in his amphistaff arm, dropping the amphistaff, letting out a howl he charged at Warren, this was an unexpected turn of events for Warren he was barrelled into the ground, dropping both his blasters, the vong grabbed him by the neck and lifted him of the ground, Cotez immediantly let out a shot, not looking where it went and only hoping that it was heading towards the vong.

Luckily the shot found its mark in the armpit of the cong warrior, sending him spinning into the wall, dropping warren, Who rolled out of the way and grabbed his blasters, fired several shots into the back of the vong. Warren turned around and looked up into the window where Cotez was and put his thumb up, and smiled then he ran towards his fellow battleing soldiers. Cotez turned from the window, wanting to go and help, only to find his mother there.
"Cotez, i know that i can't stop you, just...Just be careful" She said, Cotez nodded and sped out of the door. Mavis was standing there, a hand behind her back, holding a blaster, which cotez failed to notice.

Verak emerged from the rubble of the entrance to the Infidel compount, to think that they abused Yuuzhan Vong technology like this, to make a hideout for themselves, he spat on the ground and the thought of it. But all was going well so his mood was not entirely soured. He walked over to the rakamat, it was fireing repeated bursts towards all the AA Batteries, taking two shots to deplete the pety sheilding and destroying them, he smiled, this battle would be won easily. He made his way through several ranks of Chazrach, he thought it was far better to keep fodder in reserve for when he needed to deplete his enemies energy faster, his plan was simple, he would send Yuuzhan Vong warriors into battle on three fronts, while that was happening he would manouvre the ranks of Chazrach into position and have them ready for a sortie for which to sweep the infidels of the streets, he would then send the Yuuzhan vong warriors in once more to clean up any infidel menace left. He turned to receive a report from his leutenant.

"Yes Veramus?" Verak said. "What information do you have for me?"

"Ground Commander Verak Sir! I have Reports that he enemy as led our initial troops into an ambush, we have lect a majority of the troops in reserve as you have asked, although we have suffered heavy casualties, in the first wave. We have reports that the infidels to teh east of the camp are falling back, if we apply pressure there we can push through with littel ease." Veramus thumped his chest with his fist, a salute of sorts to a higher in command.

"Well, i can see that the infidels are cany, but you'r information may be correct in that they are actually retreating, i would like to leave that portion of the attack for a little longer, tell the captain in that area that he is not to move forward, but fortify his positon instead. I want to see if the enemy will respond with a sortie, if that happens i want you immediantly to send the Chazrach to help the captain to push them back, once that is done i want them to consolidate their positions, my plan is to do a massive coordinated push at the same time on all the fronts so that they have no time to respond to any of them and they will be crushed" Verak said. Veramus saluted and turned around issuing orders to the individual villips in the command post. Verak turned to the rakamat and patted it's side, this will be the tool he used to defeat them, one strike at their sheilds then the coralskippers strafing the base will easily be able to pick of any infidels on the rooftops. He smiled his time was coming.

----------

The battle was not going well at all, Cotez had found Warren shortly after the start of a great vong push, he was told that he was to join a secret attack force being assembled that would attack the main vong command post, he would be given the rank of Corporal for this attack, when he asked Warren why he was given this task he simply replied 'because i need your help', Cotez couldn't say no to that so he joined up. They were to wait in a deserted building, being as stealthy as possible until the vong pushed past the building, then they would charge through and attack the command post. Cotez sat in a corner, he didn't know any of these people, he was quite nervous. The jedi walked up to him and sat down beside him.

"What do you want?" Cotez asked.
"Am in not allowed to sit here, master Cotez?" The jedi asked, a grin crossing his face.
"I suppose that you can sit there" Cotez replied, shifting in his spot because he was quite nervous.
"You ahve' no need to be nervous around me" Camahl sarat said, lifted a peice of rock into the air with the force it floated to head leavel and then he silently dropped it to the ground.
"I did not join this little attack to get closer to you Cotez, i joined so that i could defeat this attack" He looked at Cotez, who was baffeld that the jedi could sense what he was thinking.
"How did you...?"
"...Know that?" Camahl said. "Well the force heard what you were thinking and whispered them to me through the force."

"Get ready, command jsut said that the vong are moving through this area!" The Colonel said. Cotez turned to the colonel and nodded, then turned back to Camahl who was standing and walking over to the colonel, not even a second glance at Cotez. Cotez humphed in the corner, then stood up himself, his brand new military outfit, creeking as he stood up, he brushed any dust he could see of his vest and walked over to the colonel.

"The vong will most likely search this building as soon as they pass through this area, we will have to eliminate any resistance that we find, and then push on to teh command post, where we will, attack the rakamat that they have stationed there, it is destroying our AA batteries and limiting our effectiveness against the coralskippers straffing our sheilds, me and my demolishion crew will go in and destroy the beast, the rest of you will have to lay down cover fire while we sneak in, and a destraction if neccessary" he said, the final bit he said while nodding at the jedi. Who replied by lowering his head in acknowledgement. The time was nearly apon us when we heard a scraping of boots on the ground, all the soldiers turned around and raised their weapons. It was only Mavis.

"Mam, what are you doing here?" The colonel asked.

"I have news from General Warren, the vong are preparing for their final push into teh center of the camp, he has ordered a complete withdrawal to teh commande center, once the vong move past you, he has ordered that you move ahead with all speed, for if you mange to destroy the beast but they have been defeated, then you will all die horrible deaths inslaved to the vong, he meant the last bit in the most possible way." Mavis smiled, and looked around the group, noticing Cotez, a look of worry crossed her face and she looked away.
"Well then, there is no way that you can go back now, grab yourself a blaster and you can join us, now men we have to move fast!" The colonel yelled as he gestured for the men to form up. That was the last hing Cotez saw as a massive explosion ripped the building apart...
