As the cruiser came out of hyperspace they found themselves going into a perfect formation to fit into brian's blockade.
"The blockade is in formation? What is going on?" brian asked. Suddenly a hologram of sabine wren came onto the holopad.
"General smith sorry for not warning you but dreamworks is nearing the system. We have prepared our defenses and are awaiting there arrival."
"Very good prepare for me on the planet surface have AA guns ready along with SAM's"
"Of course brian it will be done." sabine said.
"When did sabine join the fight?" thorner said walking up behind brian.
" she joined while we went to get sonic. Along with many other planets. We now have enough people to defend our planet from them. COMMANDER APPO TAKE CHARGE WE ARE GOING PLANET SIDE!"
"Aye sir."
Brian thorner sonic amy sally and rachelle all went to the hangar and boarded a gunship heading down to the planet with supplies. When they arrived they all went immediately to the CP upon entering they found ahsoka, commander Rex, Sabine and several other rebels characters.
"Dear lord this is a shit show now aint it."
"Yeah it is sir but no more of a shit show back on dantooine"
"Oh come the one on dantooine wasn't that bad only outnumbered outgunned and out fucking fought."
"Yeah well it wasn't nothin special" brian said causing both rex and himself to chuckle.
"Oh come on don't tell me you two where talking about dantooine?" a voice said. Both commander rex and brian turned around to find a younger Captain Rex and Ahsoka tano walking towards them all.
"I'll be hot damn it's good to see the love birds. I thought the honeymoon would last 3 years."
"Oh come on brian you think rexie and I would miss a good fight?" brian, the commander rex, the older ahsoka and everyone but the young ahsoka and young captain rex almost burst into laughter hearing rex's nickname
"Rexie? Oh that's too good i can't even" Commander rex (older one) said while bursting into laughter "general tano and I are getting married but we just use hubby and lame names but thats just too funny"
"Ok ok laugh it up ha ha so funny." captain rex says while everyone laughs. When the laughter dies down everyone heads outside to go over final battleplans.
"Ok everyone listen up you are my main commanders, i will be assigning you to sections of our trench line to command troops and keep me updated. SONIC SALLY TAILS you are in sector 4. COMMANDER BAKKARA COMMANDER DAVIS COMMANDER DEVIS AMY sector 3. CAPTAIN REX COMMANDER TANO will be with me while commander Rex and general Tano man command sector 2. YOU WILL NEED TO BE AT YOUR POSTS BY 09:00 HOURS TOMORROW MORNING SO ENJOY THE FINAL NIGHT BECAUSE TOMORROW IS WAR." brian says everyone splits up and starts talking to commanders and captains.
"So brian why did you put us with you?"
"No offense you two but this battle is going to be hard fought and a lot of blood will be shed. I want you two near me to protect you both. Even though you both have been in combat before i don't need to worry about losing one then both of you."
"That makes sense master smith… plus i couldn't imagine life without rexie." ahsoka says while snuggling onto rex
"And i couldn't imagine life without you lil soka."
"Oooh this is going to be such a long battle." brian says as he walks over to thorner. "Major general a word please?"
"What is it sir?"
"Have everyone have crimson lines either lining the other markings on their armor or in capes."
"Just liked the spartans and the 300."
"Exactly tomorrow we will fight with the fury of the spartans never surrender never retreat to death or victory."
-that night inside of the bar in town-
The clones and other fighters have crammed into the small bar and are drinking away. Clones telling stories to other fighters and all have crimson either painted on the armor or crimson capes.
"Did anyone ever hear the tail of how lil soka and rexie fell in love?" a clone asked while batting his eyelashes and making a heart with his hands causing everyone in the bar to laugh….. Besides commander tano and captain rex.
"There we were on some bumfuck planet outnumbered 4 to 1….. Good odds for the 501st *laughter* but we were stuck on this planet and during one attack commander tano got out of the trench and started to scream at the droids. All of us were just like 'what the fuck are you doing commander?' and the droids just fired everything at her. When a round hit by her it was captain rex who caught her mid air and protected her. Hell the captain even beat a droid with just his helmet. The captain then proceeded to carry her with one arm and hold his helmet under the under while a explosion went off behind them like a motherfucking badass. But the explosion knocked them both down and they fell ahsoka on her back and rex on top of her. Staring into each others eyes, ahsoka reached her arms around his neck and they both leaned in….. But a yell from sergeant appo brought them back to the battle"
"Ah booo"
"Come on give us some fun shit."
"Yeah man gives us some good shit" the crowd yelled. By now both captain rex and commander tano where blushing a very very VERY deep red.
"How about the time they stayed in the same quarters on my ship?" brian asked
"YEAH!" shouted the crowd in approval
"At the time captain rex and commander tano where placed under my command for the battle following umbara. I had assigned the captain to his own quarters that were across the hall from myself not thinking. Well coming back from the gym one day I passed by his door and there was a...purring coming from inside."
This caused a uproar of approving laughter and such from the clones. Many were already laughing and had spilled there drinks while both rex and ahsoka hide their faces in shame.
"So i go investigate and lord behold when i opened his door there was ahsoka sitting on his lap wearing nothing more than white lingerie and captain rex is sitting there nude while petting her head tails." this caused a entire uproar from everyone as they were laughing so hard they were crying. "Thats not even the best part ok it wasnt. The TV in the corner was on….. And they where watching porn."
Everyone was on the floor laughing by now and the two where just face down on the bar. Even the commander rex and general tano were laughing.
"Oh yeah well how about the time on minibon when you brought that one lady into your quarters GENERAL!" captain rex retorted.
"Oh yes as i recall neither rexie or i could even sleep because of the amount of noise you two were making. I think this is what she said 'oh brian….oh brian dont let up hawda hawda'(said in a brooklyn accent)"
This caused everyone to now be laughing at brian who could only blush.
After more and more embarrassing stories about more and more people everyone started filing out of the bar after last call. Brian walked out to the trenches and got out onto what would be known as no mans land and knelt.
¨lord please help us to win this battle. Grace us with the force on our side and the fight in our hearts. Let us win against the enemy. Amen¨
-the next day-
Clones and other fighters packed the trenches and artillery emplacements. Brian, captain rex, and commander tano surveyed the air and the ground.
¨anything you 2?"
"Nothing"
"All command report in."
"No activity in sector 4."
"Nothing in 3"
"Nothing in 2"
"Rachelle how is it in space?"
"Its very quiet up here but so far….. Wait…. I have confirmation of several ships about to exit hyperspace all crews generals quarter man your battlestations pilots to your ships."
"PREPARE THE AA BOYS." captain rex yelled. Everyone looked up as they saw ALOT of enemy cruisers come out of hyperspace
"Thats a lot of ships."
"Hey general this thought just came to my mind… where the hell are nick and judy?"
"I had them evacuate with the rest of the civilians. Not gonna risk it."
"Aye sir." rex says as several tie fighters head towards the planet surface. Clones and fighters scramble in the trenches and prepare for ground assault.
"Brian our cruisers are holding them at bay but they are launching more troop transports than we can shoot down."
"Its ok rachelle we can handle them. Have the fighters take out enemy fighters and let us worry about there troops."
"Understood Admiral out" brian watches as hundreds of troops transports land and troops pour out. Brian feals the fear in everyone and gets out of the trench and takes off his helmet.
"BROTHERS….SISTERS… YOU STAND WITH ME TODAY AS WE FIGHT A TYRANNY THAT MUST BE STOPPED! TODAY WE WRITE OUR NAMES IN THE HISTORY BOOKS AS THE ONES THAT FOUGHT THE EVIL UNTIL IT WAS DEFEATED! WE FIGHT FOR OUR LANDS, OUR HOMES, OUR WIVES, OUR HUSBANDS, OUR SWEETHEARTS, OUR CHILDREN, WE FIGHT FOR THE REPUBLIC AND FOR HONOR! NEVER FORGET THAT AND LET THE MEMORIES YOU HAVE HAD DRIVE YOU FORWARD! WE SHALL NEVER RETREAT, NEVER SURRENDER, LET IT BE TO DEATH OR VICTORY!"
The roar of the clones and the fighters shook the earth. Brian felt the fear that anyone had be washed away with the roar of everyone. The ones willing to fight and die to protect everything. Brian climbed back into the trench and put his helmet on the attached his crimson cape to his shoulder pauldron. The enemy ran at them running as fast as they could. Everyone's rifles had a target and were ready to pull the trigger on the generals command. They got closer and closer until they were almost on top of them when brian fired the first shot. Right after everyone else did and the enemy fell in droves. They started tripping over their dead comrades and they didnt stop firing until the first wave was completely killed…. The battle had begun.
Captain rex sat there firing his DC-15 beside his lovely wife ahsoka. He forgot how graceful she was with her sabers and couldnt wait for her to teach him how to use them.
"Hey lil soka *dodges laser* I was thinking about how we should buy a house…. Maybe build one here on earth *dodges another laser and fires blast*"
"Sounds like fun rexie *deflects lasers* but where to build?"
"Why not * fires blaster* annoy the general more and just build it close to him. I know there is alot of good property and we can start a family"
"Lets do it rexie" ahsoka says while planting a quick kiss on rex's helmet and then returned to battle
"Less yappin more blastin" hardcase said while firing the Z-28 killing ALOT of enemies.
"THEY ARE RETREATING HOLD YOUR FIRE AND SAVE YOUR AMMO!" brian yelled.
Troopers and fighters roared and shouted hoisting there hands and waving their flags because they had just defeated the first wave of the enemy. Thats when brian saw the second wave coming and it was bigger than the last.
"PREPARE FOR THE SECOND WAVE! FIX BAYONETS AND PREPARE FOR HAND TO HAND COMBAT! MACHINE GUNNERS FRONT AND CENTER!" brian yelled as machine gunners got ready and everyone fixed bayonets…. Weather they were actual blade or lightsaber bayonet. "Arty arty we need HE fire at grid 05-02 elevation 034 fire at will."
"Copy that general smith HE fire at grid 05-02 elevation 034 fire at will."
Brian looked up and fired as the enemy was right on top of them. They all fired keeping them back but soon pile of bodies in front of them became to much. After the 4th wave brian had to order dozers to push them into freshly dug mass grave. It was hard for him to order but it had to be done. As night approached the artillery was able to keep the enemy back and they had begun digging their own trenches. As the everyone prepared for a long night brian heard a high pitched shriek and watched as a night fury landed in the middle of the camp. The clones surrounded the dragon and the rider and brian aimed his rifle.
"Have you come to surrender?"
"No i have come to talk old fried." the figure said while revealing himself to be chief hiccup haddock.
Brian removed his helmet and the clones lowered there weapons.
"I will not walk around and talk we will speak here and here alone." brian said
"Understand. Brian im begging you to surrender. We outnumber you 4 to 1 and Grand general po wont go easy like he has today."
" go back to general po and you tell him to prepare his men to join the others in the mass grave. Because we will never surrender we will die for this land."
"So be it." hiccup said while riding away.
"Have AA using thermal all night. I will not allow any dragons to get through tonight or anymore. I want watches all night and we better be ready." brian said while walking briskly to the trenches.
-3 hours later-
Brian walked into the dig out of his and captain rex and commander ahsoka and found ahsoka asleep while spooning with rex who was wide awake.
"You should get some rest captain." brian said sitting on his bunk.
"Been trying sir. but i just…. Cant." rex said while silently getting up off the bunk.
"Here lets go out into the trench. Commander rex and major general thorner are out there already i just came here to get my rations." brian said while holding up his rations. Both the rex and brian walked out into the trench and joined Commander rex and major general thorner at the small camp fire they had.
"So thorner what where the final tally?"
"3 wounded for us no killed while the enemy lost well over 150,000 troops."
"Sounds like a great day…. How is commander tano?" commander rex asked
"Sleeping…. Its been a very long day for her first time she has seen combat since the clone war…. That whiskey?" captain rex motioned to commander rexs flask.
"Yeah here have some." the commander said handing the captain the flask. The captain then took a drink and coughed causing the other 3 to chuckle at the captain.
"That strong." rex said while handing the flask back and still slightly coughing
"Eh it ain't that bad rex just gotta get used to the burn." brian said while taking a sip
"So rex when are you and General tano getting married?" captain rex asked
"Well we were thinking here in july. Going to travel to naboo and probably not leave the planet." commander rex said while staring into the fire "isnt thorner the only one out of this group who isnt married besides myself?"
"Oh yeah thats right." brian said
"Now why is that thorner?" captain rex said taking a sip and slightly coughing again
"Just havent found the right girl yet i guess."
"Oh horse shit didnt you have your eyes set for SALLY before she married sonic?"
"I did not." thorner said while slightly blushing
"Oh horse shit thorner while you were with us you wouldn't stop talking about her." commander cody said as he took a seat on a box and took off his helmet.
"Good to have you here commander." brian said
"Well who wouldn't want to watch the general fight a crocodile." cody said causing the clones to chuckle.
"Crocodile of a enemy that for sure."
"So wait wait hold up you have a thing for sally? Why didn't you say anything?"
"We both had lives and now she has married sonic and has kids… he looks happy i dont wanna take that from him."
"She knew?" commander rex asked
"Yes she knew. Before we took knothole i told her and she felt the same. We planned on waiting after the war but i guess she changed her mind."
The clones and brian sat there in shock. None of them could believe what thorner was saying but his expression said it all.
"Well thorner i hope she rocks up and comes to her senses. You deserve her more than that blue blur." captain rex says causing everyone to laugh
"Yeah…. You know this is just like old times boys. Sitting by a campfire in a war zone making fun of thorner." brian said causing everyone to laugh.
"Yeah brian it is just like old times….. Except the fact that im stuck with a reminder of what i will look like when im older." captain rex said and everyone laughed. They sat there for hours and hours talking and laughing completely forgetting at some points that they were in a combat zone. But at 01:00 hrs they all went back to there dug out to get some rest because they new that tomorrow would be worse.
