Now then, time for the chapter.
Disclaimers are the same as before, please enjoy.
Chapter 23: Victory: Bitter Sweet
January 1st 2020, 19BBY
1600 hours
Normal point of view
Days after Robert had proposed to Ahsoka and the new year began, the day to recover the weapons and equipment came. The moment they returned the card key for their room to the front desk after packing up their equipment and clothing before making it look like the group had left the resort for their wedding on Naboo.
This of course was a ruse and they moved their ship out to the desert and waited for nighttime before they would return to the resort and infiltrate the cache that was under their feet the whole time. Lux and Steela had already left so it just left the group, Al and Kelta to recover the weapons and figure out what the separatists were up too. Once they had completed this task, Robert would ask for some time so he and Ahsoka could get married.
They had originally planned to wait for the war to end, but they figured it would be best to get it done sooner than wait and have one of them end up dead.
"My uncle sent us the information. The auction is going to be heavily guarded tomorrow so we don't have a lot of time. Remember, plant the trackers on the equipment so we can track the cargo incase they are able to move some of it off world before the Dragoons and Wolf Pack arrive." Robert informed his friends.
"Separatist forces have increased the last few days so expect a lot of droid resistance in the lower levels. Remember to top off your ammo and use your credit grenades. The people here may be rich scumbags but they are still civilians, if we get in a firefight above level, we can't afford civilian casualties." Ahsoka added, tighting the straps on her lef holsters which held her twin Beretta 84 pistols. Along with her pistols she had the same K7 submachine gun and a Daewoo K2C assault rifle with a forward hand grip and holograchic sight.
Rally had her preferred CZ-75 handgun plus an extra one, the same Honey Badger she used when rescuing Kasumi and a single VZ-83 submachine-gun modified with red dot sight.
Due to the area they were entering being close quarters, Hitomi wouldn't be able to use a sniper rifle. So, she opted for a compact version of the MDR with an ACOG scope, LAW-12 semi-automatic shotgun and her HK VP9.
For Honoka, she took the Howa Type 89 assault rifle with a red dot sight, two Minebea M-9 submachine-guns each sporting a forty-round magazine. Along with those was her trusty PPK.
Marie was disappointed that she couldn't bring any grenade launchers so she opted for the SIG SG 552-2 with an ACOG scope, and a longer barrel, a SIG MPX SMG, and her P226 hand gun. She also grabbed a little something from behind where the 552 was and hid it under her clothing.
Along with her Minebea P9 handgun, Kasumi opted for Valtro PM5 pump-action shotgun, two TDI Vector submachine guns without the stocks attached equipped with forty-round magazines and Norinco Typer 81 5.8x42mm assault rifle equipped with a reflex sight.
And finally, Robert took an M4A1 with an ACOG sight and an KAC Masterkey shotgun modified to fire 20-gauge shotgun rounds. An AA12 automatic shotgun with a thirty-two round drum magazine and a holographic sight. Along with his rifle and shotgun, he had his P99 and new handgun which he named Ghost.
All of their weapons, minus the shotguns were equipped with silencers, increasing their stealth capabilities. "Silent but deadly, right honey?" Ahsoka joked kissing her fiancé on the lips before pulling her mask up.
"That's the plan." Robert replied after the two ended their kiss and checked the time. "Seventeen hundred hours, the resort should be closing down for the evening. Alright people, lets move." He added and the group exited the ship and boarded the speeder they had procured prior to leaving the resort. Ahsoka was about to exit the ship when she suddenly stopped, pulled out her commlink and inputed a sequence.
"Let's get going." Robert called back to his lover. Ahsoka soon quickly joined them and the group headed back to the resort city.
By the time they arrived at the city, the whole place was almost completely dark but thanks to the stealth system installed in their stealth gears gauntlets, they were completely invisible to the naked eye. They soon reached the secret entrance to the lower levels, which was hidden in one of the old rundown casinos. Kasumi swiped the forged key card and appearing from the wall was a secret turbo lift.
"Feels like something SPECTRE would hide in plain sight." Honoka said quietly as the group boarded the lift and desended into what felt like the pits of hell. "Going radio silent now." Robert said to the others and they all shut off their commlinks. The lift soon stopped and the doors opened up revealing a pair of guards.
Two quick silenced shots from Rally and Honoka's weapons downed the guards whose bodies were than moved into a nearby supply closet before they moved on.
Meanwhile, Al was patrolling the fifth floor of the hotel and was about to finish his rounds when he heard a banging sound emanating from a nearby closet. At first, he figured it was nothing, but the banging grew louder and louder prompting him to investigate the sound.
Opening the closet, he found a bound, gagged, blindfolded and stripped Kelta Dublar. "WHAT THE FUCK!?" he exclaimed and quickly untied the republic spy who explained that she had finished making her fifth report to the republic when a wet cloth was placed over mouth and when she came too she saw a Clawdite women wearing one of the dresses she brought with her speaking to Tarkin, Tekud and Jakbu.
"They knew who they were." Al stated as he escorted Kelta to a speeder outside the hotel and took her to the ship. "Hey kid, do you read me? You've been compromised. They know who you are and they set a trap for you. Get the hell out of there now!" he said urgently through the commlink as he drove the speeder to the waiting Naboo ship.
All he got was static. "Damn it." Al cursed and quickly opened up the ships boarding ramp, ditched his guard uniform, quickly changing into his combat gear and grabbed a pair of FN-P90's SMG's, the Pulse Rifle and a Remington 1100 shotgun, plenty of ammo and hopped back into the speeder and was about to head back to the resort when Kelta hopped into the speeder, wearing the same kind of combat gear Al was wearing, armed with pair of blaster pistols. "Those nerf herders left me tied up for a couple of days and I am itching for some payback." She stated. Al didn't say anything to stop her and instead allowed her to get in and the two quickly headed back to the resort. "Hang on guys, we're coming for you." He said.
Roberts point of view
The moment we entered the sub-levels underneath the resort, I felt a strong disturbance in the force. We barely encountered any security aside from the two guards we encountered earlier and it was beginning to feel like the whole place was abandonded long before we arrived. Those thoughts were broken when we came to a large area with three ways to go.
Searching all three ways one at a time would waste time and allow the enemy to get away, so we decided the best thing to do was to split up, maximizing our chance of successfully recovering the equipment and figuring out what the separatists were up too. No one would be able to sell this much hardware unless they were outfitting a small army.
Ahsoka and I took the middle path while Honoka, Marie and Hitomi took the left path and Kasumi and Rally took the right. Once we synchronized our trackers to each other we headed down our given paths, only for the way we came in to be sealed before we could even find a way to stop it.
Cutting through the sealed exit would take time and it was time we didn't have so my girl and I continued forwards. I felt like the happiest person in the galaxy. Here I am, armed to the teeth with some of the weapons my dad and his unit used back in the old days before my birth. The only difference was that I was doing it with the girl I love.
Some people would say its risky to bringing the women they love with them on a mission, especially if that women is in possession of data that could change the course of the war. Yeah, risky if the person carrying such data didn't know how to take care of themselves.
Through out the entire war, I have seen Ahsoka kick the ass of hundreds of battle droids and never back down from a challenge. Hell, she's taken on Grievous more times than I have and has been able to best him on numerous occasions. Yep, I found myself quite a girl.
Still, it didn't mean I was concerned about her. Ever since she was hypnotized by Jakub, I felt like something was off about her. Yet at the same time I felt like it was nothing. Either way something wasn't right about our current situation.
Those thoughts exited my mind as Ahsoka and I came to a fork in the corridor. I was about to turn left when Ahsoka suddenly headed for the right. I was puzzled and called her name out several times but she didn't even listen. "Fuck." I cursed and darted after her.
Chasing after her made me feel like Batman chasing Catwoman after a successful heist and I wasn't liking it one bit. The faster I ran, the faster she ran. Something wasn't adding up and either Ahsoka knew something I didn't or we were walking into a trap.
Soon Ahsoka stopped running and I was able to catch my breath. "Mind telling me whats got you so worked up? I don't think it has anything to do with the wedding is it?" I asked. No sooner had I asked the question, the way we came closed behind us and vents opened up. "I got a bad feeling about this?" I said and raised my rifle.
Seconds later, gas started coming out of the vents and I was starting to feel a little lighthead. Next thing I knew, I watched Ahsoka collapse to the floor. I was about to run over to her, but I also passed out from the gas. The last thing I saw before everything went black was several figures wearing gas masks.
When I came to, I found myself strapped to a cutting board of some kind and standing infront of me with a smug look on his face was Tarkin. "You're awake at last Mr. Bond, or should I call you the Lone Wolf?" the traitor asked.
"Go fuck yourself." I spat, litterly spitting in Tarkins face. Wiping the spit from his face, Tarkin grinned and motioned for a police officer to step forward with an Electrostaff. The officer then powered up the staff and stabbed me. A large surge of electrical energy corased through my body, but it wasn't nothing I couldn't handle.
"If you think a little electricity is going to break me, then you'll have to try harder than that." I spat once the officer pulled the staff away.
"I have no intention of breaking you," Tarkin said with a smirk before snapping his fingers. "No, I plan to take away the one thing you care about the most." He added and entering the room were two guards pulling in Ahsoka. Her gear and equipment were removed and she was semi-naked. Her arms were bound behind her back by a pair of binders and she was out cold.
"LET HER GO MOTHERFUCKER! IF YOU HURT HER, I'LL KILL YOU! YOU HERE ME!" I shouted before the guards left the room, taking my future wife with them.
"You don't get it do you? Your future wife was the one who informed us of your plan. She's still under Jakub's control and she led you like as you earthlings say 'a lost puppy'. I knew the moment you arrived on Canto Bight you were up to something, so I had a bounty hunter take the place of your contact and she filled us in on every detail of your plan." Tarkin began, walking towards me.
He then drew back his fist and punched me in the gut, hard. "You came looking for military equipment, but sad to say the equipment you are looking for is gone. Once we knew you who you were, we moved up the date of the sale so now you won't be able to complete your mission." He spat.
I growled at the bastard before he pressed a button on his gauntlet and coming down from the ceiling was a large heavy-duty laser. "You will die a slow painful death and the last thing you will remember is that you failed to protect the women you love. But don't worry, she will be in good hands." Tarkin said sadisticly before he activated the laser.
"If you expect me to talk. Then you're wasting your time." I growled trying to break the bonds holding me down.
"No, I expect you to die." Tarkin said back and left the room.
I could have used the Force and redirected the laser away from my direction, but my anger and frustration of Tarkin taking Ahsoka and planning to do who knows what to her. No one targets my loved ones and gets away with it, Tarkin is going to pay.
The laser beam kept coming closer and closer to my body and for a moment it looked like I was about be cut in half like Maul was, only this time it would right down the middle and I wouldn't be able to survive it. Thankfully, the door to the room was cut open and the sound of suppressed weapon fire impacted the laser, shutting it down. Coming in the room was Uncle Al, Kelta and the others. "Seems like we were all lead into a trap." Al said, grabbing one of my sabers and sliced the clamps holding me to the board.
"No shit. Tarkin knew from the very beginning who we were, but allowed us to succeed all so he could lure us into a trap and now he has Ahsoka." I stated, rubbing my wrists before grabbing my equipment. "The bastards already sold the equipment and now we don't know we were they are taking the gear to." I added.
"Not all of the equipment." Kelta said getting all of us to look at her, some with a nasty look. "Ok, I get you all don't trust me after what happened but that wasn't me." She added and explained what happened to her.
"Ok, so the enemy pulled the old Zartana maneuver on us. Damn it, I should have seen it coming." I cursed, slamming my fist against the wall. "So, what do you mean about they haven't moved all of the equipment?" I asked.
"Prior to my capture, I heard from one of the officers that some of the stolen equipment needed a lot of maintance so they put them in an underground hanger. Tanks, Walkers, weapons and Gunships. All needing a lot of fixing before they can be used in the field again, I estimate about enough for about four divisions, maybe five." Kelta explained.
"Ok, Kasumi, Rally, Honoka, Hitomi, Marie. Find the gear and secure it, I've got to save my future wife. Al, you and Kelta contact the Republic, call in some back up. We're going to need some back up before this is over." I instructed.
"You can't do it alone." My uncle said, putting a hand on my shoulder. "I get it, the one you love is in danger but this isn't the time to be reckless and rush in without a plan." He added.
"I can't leave her in the hands of that bastard. If she's killed, I will never forgive myself." I retorted, shaking my uncles grip and bolting out of the room. "If you're going loud then you're going to need this." Marie called and tossed me an M203 grenade launcher and a bandolier of ten 40mm launcher rounds.
"I know, I know, you told me no grenade launchers but I figured there would be a situation when explosives would be needed." Marie apologized. I roll my eyes and threw the masterkey shotgun and the ammo to the ground, slid the launcher underneath my M4, checked my gauntlet for the tracker I placed in Ahsoka's pendant and went after my girlfriend.
Tarkin had awoken the Wolf and now the fangs were ready to draw blood.
Normal point of view
Meanwhile in hyperspace, Anakin had just received word from Al about the situation on Canto Bight and gave Rex, Alpha, the Dinobots, Breach, Blake, the Muunilist 10, Fives, Echo, Hevy, Jesse, Hardcase and Rancor Battalion the green light and were prepping for combat. Along with them, were Null Class ARC Trooper Ordo and Alpha-Class Clone Troopers Maze, Muzzle and Spar who requested to join the mission since they heard about the exploits of the Lone Wolf and wanted to meet him and see the Earth Born soldier in action.
"General, we'll be arriving at Canto Bight in a few minutes. Communication from Agent Simmons indicates that there are at least four battalions of droids on the planet. Minimal enemy armor has been confirmed but there could be more hostiles. All we know is that the enemy moved a lot of the hardware they stole already." Rex explained.
"And Ahsoka?" Anakin asked.
"She's been taken hostage by Tarkin and as far as we know, off planet." Rex answered. He then spotted a look of concern come to his general's face. "Sir, I'm worried about her to, but she'll be alright. After all, she's more valuable to the enemy alive." Rex added.
"I know that Rex, I just hope she'll be alright until then." He replied as the small fleet exited hyperspace and began there landing sequence.
Anakin wasn't wrong to be worried. Just minutes before the fleet exited hyperspace, a Nu-class attack shuttle broke atmosphere and sat silently. Inside the ship, Tarkin grinned with delight and turned around to see Ahsoka who was bound in a straitjacket like dress secured by several black straps. (basically C.C.'s transport attire from Code Geass.)
Turning back to the cockpit, Tarkin bowed as a hologram of Sidious appeared. "I have the former Jedi now my lord. I also took the liberty of removing the tracking device imbedded in her pendant." Tarkin stated as Ahsoka started to come to.
"Good. Bring her to the location we discussed and begin your interrogation. I want the Nexus route completed before we begin our plan." Sidious instructed.
"As you wish my lord, however I found something most interesting about our prisoner." Tarkin added and explained what he meant. Once he finished, Sidious chuckled with delight as the shuttle entered hyperspace.
Back below the old casino, droids and Canto officers hurried and took up defensive positions futher inside the underground facility. Having his future wife in the hands of someone like Tarkin had unleashed the wolf that was dorment for so long. Guards and droids tried valiantly to stop him, but all that tried to stop him were either killed, destroyed or wounded. If they were lucky enough to be wounded, they were left to scream in pain until help arrived if they didn't die from loss of blood.
In a large open area further away from the remaining weapons and equipment, hostile forces had primed their weapons and trained their sights on the door that led to their position. Soon they heard the sounds of both blaster fire and the slamming of bodies against the walls of the corridor behind the door.
"Think we're going to get killed?" one of the officers asked his comrade who was shaking with fear, clutching a E5 tightly.
"Doesn't matter. The hutt slime that attacked us is going to wish they were never born." Another officer, a member of the uniformed branch stated, aiming his Sonic Blaster at the door and waited. Unlike his fellow officers, this officer had never fired a blaster before in an actual firefight and only obtained his position by framing someone who was an honest cop of bribery and was given the position, using it to finace his own pockets and not protecting the guests.
"I heard this guy is some new kind of clone trooper. He use's slugthrower weapons but carries lightsabers." Another officer stated, trying to hid the fact he had pissed himself. No one answered him as the blaster fire suddenly stopped and everything went quiet.
The quietness only lasted a few seconds before a bright blue blade pierced the door and began to cut right through it. The uniformed branch officer motioned for a pair of battle droids to check the door once the blade had disappeared.
The moment the droids took a few steps forward, the cut part of the door was then pushed towards them, knocking down the guards and droids that were lucky enough to be in cover when the door was sliced. The next thing anyone knew, a pair of canisters rolled into the room and began to vent out smoke, following the smoke were several credit chips which upon landing on the ground sent out an electromagnetic pulse disabling all the droids. Several guards who were able to get back to their feet aimed their rifles at the door but were quickly cutdown by a barrage of enemy fire. Stepping through the cut door, armed to the teeth was the Lone Wolf.
Robert had vowed to never let his anger and rage control him ever again after all it caused him, but this time he was in control of his anger and other negative emotions. He wasn't going to lose the one person he loved more than family.
"If you value your lives, throw down your weapons." He shouted through the smoke. The guard with the sonic blaster then ordered the men to open fire on their attacker who quickly rolled out of the way and sprayed them with bullets with his assault rifle. Numerous guards were hit in the leg or arm while others were killed. "Bastard!" the officer shouted and fired the sonic blaster.
A quick igniting swing from Roberts saber deflected the blast back at the officer, which upon contact ruptured the officer's internal organs killing them. Deactivating his saber, Robert spotted one officer who wasn't hit by a bullet coming out of cover with their hands above their head. "Don't shoot. I'm unarmed." The officer said.
Robert grinned, pulled the officer towards him and pressed his new handgun against the guard's skull. "Talk or die. Where's the Togruta?" Robert asked, his finger inches from the trigger.
"I don't know what you're talking about." The officer said panicked.
"Wrong answer." Robert replied and slowly pressed his gun to the head of the guard, his finger moving closer and closer to the trigger. "Unless you want to see what color your brain is you tell me what I want to know. The Togruta. Where. Is. She?" he asked again.
"I don't know where she is. All I know is that she was escorted through here a while ago by Tarkin. They went to one of the hidden hangers below this place, I don't know which one. Please don't kill me, I have a family." the guard cried out.
A flash of memories soon entered Roberts mind and he began to remember all of the times he spent with his own family, his and Courtney's. Easing the pressure of his handgun off the guard's temple, he looked right into the guard's eyes. "I remember you, Tatooine. You were one of the merc's Aurra Sing hired when she was dealing weapons. Last time I saw you, I said I would kill you." Robert said having realized the guard looked familiar.
"Oh no." the guard stated as his eyes widen. "Look, I've got two kids, a son and a daughter. Please, I only took this job because I needed the money. Please don't kill me." The guard added and shut his eyes, thinking it was the end for him.
Instead, the guard heard the sound of Robert uncocking his handgun and felt the tension ease off him. "I can sense you don't want to die and that you love your family." Robert began letting the guard go. "You can do much better than working for some assholes that have too much money to spend. What's your name?" Robert than asked.
"Rolalan Wilscov." The guard replied.
"Well Rolalan, mind if I call you Roland? The Wolfs Dragoons could use an experience mercenary like yourself in our fight against the clankers. What do you say? I'll make sure you're treated right and paid well; you can do something better with your life and I gaurntee I will keep your family safe." Robert offered.
Rolalan thought for a moment before gave his answer. "So long as I can use the same weapons you use, then I'll do it." Rolalan stated.
"Glad to here it." Robert said. He was about to say more, but a squad of droids and guards entered the room and opened fired on the two. Tackling his new ally to the side, Robert popped out from behind one of the crates he was using and fired a short burst of rifle fire taking out three droids before he hunkered down. "Time for a crash course in Earth weapondry." He stated and handed Rolalan his Shotgun.
"This is the AA12. A semi or fully automatic twelve-gauge shotgun. Rate of fire is three hundred rounds a minute. This baby features a thirty-two round drum magazine and has its standard sights replaced with a 552 holographic sight." Robert explained to Rolalan who looked at the weapon.
"Hold it good and tight to your shoulder or else you'll be spraying rounds all over the place." Robert added before pooping out of cover and fired a 40mm grenade round at the droids, blowing them to scrap metal. Rolalan followed suit, putting the stock of the shotgun to his shoulder and pulled the trigger.
Twelve-gauge shotgun pellets peppered the enemy droids, taking them down just as Kasumi and the others arrived having already completed their objective. "Looks like someone didn't waste time in kicking some ass." Marie stated, looking at the carnage around them.
"Status?" Robert asked.
"Weapons are tagged and their location has been sent to the republic." Kasumi stated, just as Al and Kelta arrived.
"Republic forces are landing now and are enganging separatist forces as we speak. A lot of the Canto Bight police are working along side the droids so it might be a little challenging for Skywalker and the men. The enemy brought in a lot of Tanks and I don't think Skywalker wants to inflict any collateral damage to the city. Place may be rotten to the core with a lot of greed but its still the home for a lot of people." Al added. Seeing Rolalan made Al tense up a little and he would have filled the mercenary's bodie with bullets had Robert not explained that his new ally was now a part of the Dragoons.
"Uncle Al, take the others and head topside. Provide assistance for Skywalker and the men. I'll go after Ahsoka." Robert stated and took his shotgun back from Rolaland.
The ex-CIA operative nodded and quickly led the others out of the room with Rolalan who had ditched his uniforms cape following them back to the surface while Robert looked towards where the droids had entered and walked towards it. Loading a fresh magazine into his shotgun, Robert watched the doors open up revealing a lot of droids.
Undaunted by the sheer number of enemy units, Robert aimed his weapon and fired.
Back above ground, Republic forces had established a foothold on outside the city limits and were advancing rapidly towards the hidden storage area underneath the old casino. Along with ARC Troopers of both kinds, the Republic had brought in over three dozen TX-130 Saber-class fighter tanks and AT-RT walkers.
Due to the orders given by Anakin, Republic armor was ordered to advance through the city and use only their cannons against enemy armor units to avoid both destroying the city and killing civilians. The use of missile launchers and mortar launchers was also prohibited unless the pilots had a clear shot.
During their decent, it was made clear that several Trade Federation Aquatic Battleships had stationed themselves in the planet's artificial ocean ahead of time and were starting a bombing campaign on both the city and republic positions. Fortunately, the Venator ship that brought them men was carrying not only Y-Wings, ARC-170's and Z-95's but also the newest vehicle in the Republic Navies arsenal; The Alpha-3 Nimbus Class V-Wing Starfighter.
A strudy, wedge shaped starfighter with similarities to the Delta 7 interceptor, the V-Wing had a top speed of forty-eight thousand g's in space and one thousand four hundred and fifty km/h. Like the Delta 7, the V-Wing was equipped shielding and could withstand more punishement than the old V-19 Torrent Starfighter. Like the ETA-2 and Delta 7, the V-wing utilized the same S-45 hyperdrive ring, which meant that it was more suited to transport the fighter by a Venator Class Star Destroyer.
Two versions of the V-Wing were made in limited numbers. One model, called the V-WingB was designed as a close air-support-fighter, modified to carry up to twenty-pounds of Proton bombs and could be equipped with either twin-barreled light laser cannons or twin small-scale versions of flak guns, called shock cannons. The standard version was armed with twin laser cannons and carried a forward mounted concussion missile launcher underneath the nose.
Both versions of the fighter were capable of dogfighting and were assisted by the experimental Q7-series astromech droid as a copilot to make any emergency maintanence and in-navigations on the go. The only draw back of the fighter was that it lacked a life-support system so the pilots were made to wear specially adapted helmets along with their standard flight suits.
Despite its drawbacks, the V-Wing was both fast, aggressive and a nimble fighter for the republic forces, but had yet to prove itself in combat. But today, the V-Wing would prove its worth.
Over the ocean a formation of Y-Wings had just dropped their payload on one of the enemy battleships, sinking it and were preparing for another attack run, but a squad of Scarab droid fighters had over taken the formation, knocking out several bombers and damaging a few of them. The Y-Wing gunners managed to down several attacking droid fighters, but more of the scarab fighters quickly joined the attack and prepared to down the remaining bombers.
As the enemy fighters lined up the bombers in their sights, a barrage of cannon fire downed attacking droid fighters followed by a swarm of concussion missiles destroying the rest of the droid fighters. Pulling up from their attack run, a flight of eight V-Wings formed up in a V formation before breaking off and heading to assist the other bomber squads.
Two of the V-Wings stayed together and headed for the city. Once they got over the city, the fighters dived down on a formation of AAT's which were hammering Commanders Havoc and Blitz along with their platoons. Straffing the enemy tanks with cannon fire, the fighters pulled up narrowly avoiding a nasty crash before they lined up behind a pair of bombers and fired their cannons. The bombers spun out of control before they crashed on the beach, skidding a across the sand for a few minutes before finally stopping.
"Nice shooting Dreadwing." The lead V-Wing pilot called out once he leveled out scanned the area for any new targets.
"Thanks, SkyQuake." The other V-Wing pilot replied over the commlink as he downed a Vulture droid with a quick burst of his fighters' cannons. The two then quickly formed up and banked hard left, getting behind a pair of TF Bombers which they quickly destroyed.
"Sky brothers to General Skywalker, enemy air presence is down by fifty-percent. All enemy battleships are neturalized. Still got some playmates up here but there nothing we can't handle." Dreadwing said to Anakin.
Back on the ground, Anakin deflected blaster bolt after blaster bolt back at the enemy droids and slammed Canto Bight police officers into the wall, knocking them out when ever he could. "Copy that Dreadwing. I'll have Rex mark targets for attack." Anakin said into his commlink after ducking down from a stray blaster bolt.
Seconds later, the so-called Sky Brothers strafed a pair of GAT and NR-N99 tanks, destroying them with cannon fire and saving Anakin and his men from certain death. The moment the tanks were destroyed, Al and the others arrived. "Where are Robert and Ahsoka?" Anakin asked.
"Robert's still down in the lower levels. We don't know where Ahsoka is general." Al stated, firing the Pulse Rifles grenade launcher at a squad of B2 Super Battle Droids, blowing the droids to scrap metal. More droids appeared and the others began to fire their weapons as well.
Anakin continued to deflect blaster fire back at the droids, but as he did, he began to feel a strong disturbance in the Force. "I don't like this feeling one bit." He said to himself.
Back below the old casino, droid and corrupt officers continued to fight a desperate battle in an attempt to either kill or slow the Lone Wolf done, but all attempts proved futile. Every guard and droid were cut down by gun fire and only the ones who were lucky enough to get hit in either the arm or leg survived. Nonetheless, they continued to fight back. "WHAT KIND OF MONSTER IS THIS!?" one of the guards shouted in panic before he was gunned down by a barrage of rifle fire.
(Animal I Have Become Begins)
Ejecting his spent magazine and loading in a fresh magazine, the Lone Wolf fired his third to last grenade round at the enemy forces ahead of him riddling their bodies with shrapnel and leaving nothing but broken bits of metal behind him.
Slinging his rifle over his shoulder, Robert whipped out his AA12 and unleashed a barrage of buckshot. Enemy after enemy was downed at a rate of kills only equal to the clown prince of crime with a supped-up machine gun.
Thankfully, Robert wasn't the Joker and kept a calm and non-crazy capacity. If anything, he felt more like the unstoppable Juggernaut without the suit. The last round from his gun fell to ground and he knew he was out of 12 guage rounds. Slinging his shotgun over his other shoulder, he drew his handguns, moved forwards and fired.
Handgun rounds clattered to the floor followed by sounds of droids falling to ground or the screams of guards in pain. "You guys didn't get hit in any vital areas, all you'll get is few days off from your job, not matter how corrupt it is." Robert stated and sprinted forwards.
Running on the side of the wall, he kicked off the wall and into the air firing his handguns downing the enemy with well placed headshots and emptying his current clips. Swapping out the empty ones for newly loaded ones, he holstered his handguns whipped out his rifle and unleashed hell.
"Never mess with a wolf." He said, firing short controlled bursts of 5.56mm rifle fire at the enemy forces, killing or wounding his enemies. He checked his gauntlet and the signal from the beacon was close. "Knock, Knock." He joked and fired his rifles launcher.
The door was blown open, but all he found was Ahsoka's pendant. "She's gone." He said.
The ground then shock. Turning around, Robert looked to see a Terror Biodroid standing over him. For a brief moment, Roberts eyes turned yellow but quickly returned to their natural color raised his rifle and fired. He emptied a full magazine of 5.56x45mm armor piercing rounds into the droid's head before grabbing the bodie with force and flung it into the wall.
(End Song)
As the droid fell to the ground, Robert soon felt he had failed and let out a long and loud roar. "RAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" he screamed, slamming his fist into the ground. He may have succeeded in his mission, but it cost him his wife to be. "I will find you. Even if it takes my life." He vowed as republic forces arrived.
Yeah, looks like my second story all over again with Ahsoka getting captured, but this time she's captured because she has something the enemy wants.
And she and Robert agreeded to get married. Now that plan is on the back burner until she's rescued. Question is what is she hiding and will she be safe until she is rescued. You'll just have to wait and see.
Remember the mercernary from my second story? Figured I'd give the guy a name and make him an ally of the Lone Wolf. Nice touch don't you think?
I saw the newest clone wars season 7 trailer and it looks awesome. I'd just wish they'd hurry up and release the newest episodes already. Speaking of episodes, I saw the teaser trailer for Episode 9 and it raises a lot of questions, like is Palpatine still alive even after he was thrown into the reactor of the Death Star. No one could survive that.
And then there is Snoke. Sure, he's dead, but who is he? That's something I think we all want to know. I hope its not Ezra.
Well those questions will have to wait until we get our answers. So, until then, please read and review and I will see you all next time. With the appearance of my favorite clones next to Rex.
