Star Wars: Battlefront 2: The New Face of Evil
Chapter 1: The Battle In the Sky.
It was now twelve hours after the attack on Coruscant the battle outside in the depths of space was raging. The tow vampires stood behind Grievous and his guards watching the battle. They had learned from Count Dooku that there was to be an attack to capture the fallen Chancellor.
"Master may we commence with our training." said Isis as she stepped up to Grievous.
"Yes in front of the Chancellor." said Grievous swirling his cape around and walking to the elevator.
On the planets surface two starfighters had been launched which on had Obi and one had Anakin the two where racing off into space to find Palpatine. From one side to the next Anakin could only see fire which was coming from the massive ships collapsing.
"Master Grievous' ship is directly ahead, the one crawling with vulture droids." said Anakin flipping switches on to activate his blasters.
"Oh I see this going to be easy." said Obi as he did the same as Anakin.
Only a few moments afterwards Grievous' ship began to launch fighters. The fighters launched from the side and dashed towards the Jedi and small enemy targets.
"Oddball do you copy." Kenobi as he twitched his controls
"Copy." said Oddball.
"Form you squad up behind me." said open flipping switches.
"This is where the fun begins." said Anakin.
"Let them pass between us." said Obi in a very anxious movement
As the clone pilots fell into formation the first wave of attack began from all angles sides and dimension blaster fire came. The Jedi curved looping around each other. The clones on the other hand where less protected they moved in small squads and fired on multiple targets.
"They're all over me, they've got…." screamed a clone commander as is ship busted into flames.
"I am going to go help them out." said Anakin as he began to shift his fighter into a three hundred and sixty degree turn.
"No, no they're doing they're job so we can do ours." said Obi.
From behind was coming a threat. The Jedi could feel it but could not locate it. The threat was a starfighter readying it missile launchers to hit them.
"Missiles, pull up" screamed Anakin dodging the incoming threat.
"They over shot us." said Obi as he watched the missile zoom by.
"They're coming around." said Anakin at the moment the missiles shot in front of him.
"Alright R4, no, no, no, nothing to fancy." said Obi looking query from the flip.
"Surge all power units R2, standby reverse thrusters." said Anakin preparing to make his move. He jolted his ship into a spiral causing the two missiles behind him to collide and explode. He grinned and laugh "We got them R2." The R2 until beeped with joy.
"Flying is for droids." said Obi as he searched for the missiles behind him. From behind came the missiles the only made it a few feet in front of Obis ship and then busted into small droids. "I'm hit, Anakin." said Obi flipping even more switches.
"Buzz droids Master." said Anakin as he looked on to his Masters' ship.
"R4 be careful." said Obi as two buzz droids climbed over to the R4 unit. He grew wary as the buzz droid sliced into the R4 unit causing his head to fall into space. "Oh dear." he said as he felt the poor droids weight disappear. "They're shutting down all the controls." said Obi
Anakin had fallen behind Obi "Move to the right so I can get a clear shot at them." said Anakin readying his blasters.
"The mission, get to the command ship, save the chancellor, we're running out of time." said Obi power down his thrusters as he was saying this Anakin had decide to take out some of the buzz droids. He fired hit not only the buzz droids but his masters left wing. "In the name of…" said Obi trying to keep the ship in a straight and balanced line. "Hold your fire, your not helping here." said Obi growing worried of his fate.
"I agree bad idea." said Anakin growing restless in his cockpit.
"I can't see a thing." said Obi getting on edge from the dark and blurry world around him. Anakin pushed his thrusters forward gliding up to his master. "They're all over me." said Obi looking up down, left, and to the right. Anakin dipped down and pushed several buzz droids off.
"Move to the right." said Anakin waiting.
"Hold on Anakin you're going to get us both killed." said Obi growing weary of the thought of his death. "Get out of here there's nothing more you can do."
"I won't leave with out you master." said Anakin as he pushed up to the side of Obi's starfighter again. As he recoiled he a buzz droid to crawl onto his ship towards R2. "Get him R2." said Anakin as he watched the droids. "Watch out." said Anakin seeing the buzz droid attacking the R2 unit.
R2 beeped and shocked the small droid but it was a failure. Again he did so keeping the droid from killing him.
"R2 hit the buzz droids' center eye." said Obi as he tried to keep his ship stable.
R2 stuck the electrode into the center eye and the small buzz droid fell to the side and slide off the ship.
"Yeah you got him." said Anakin as he smiled for the droids safe keeping.
"Great job R2." said Obi as he looked at R2 from above.
"Generals ship his dead ahead." said Anakin staring it down and while R2 began screaming for the fear that he would die from the blaster fire that was coming there way.
"Master look at it there's two starfighters coming in our direction." said Iris as he watched the ships grow closer.
"Your training is down my young friends." said Grievous marching off.
"Well have you notice the shields are still up." said Obi in a frightened matter.
"Sorry Master." said Anakin as he flipped over to the left of Obis' ship and fired on the shield generators.
"Oh I have a bad feeling about this." said Obi seeing that the blast doors on the ship where beginning to close.
The two Jedi hurried into the ship and slide into a large hanger. Where they stopped and ready to rescue the chancellor. Obi jumped out before his ship stopped sliding when he jumped his saber was at the ready he fell to the ground and slashed three droids standing on guard. Anakin was slower than his master he waited until his ship stopped and he unbuckled himself and climbed out. R2 had now popped out of his hole and was on the floor heading towards the two Jedi.
"There they are get them." said a battle droid.
Anakin and Obi started hacking and beating the droids down into a small scrap metal pile.
"R2 located the Chancellor." said Obi moving his saber to protect himself from blaster fire.
The droids fell to the ground groining in mass pain. R2 rolled over to the small COM link and started twittering and he sputtered out a map through is three dimensional mapping system.
"The Chancellor signal is coming from right there on the Observation platform on the top of that spire." said Obi point into a small observation platform on the almost invisible map.
"I sense Count Dooku." said Anakin as he felt even more darkness around.
"I sense a trap." said Obi.
"Next move." said Anakin grinning at his master.
"Spring the trap." said Obi as he grinned even bigger than his apprentice.
Little did Obi know that Darth Isis who had been discovered by Yoda over eight hundred years ago and her friend Iris Yodas' ex-apprentice where aboard the ship. They where close very close.
"Isis they're right below us." said Iris looking to the floor. "Isis, Isis." said Iris. Then suddenly Iris disappeared.
