Chapter Eight
Anakin hit the desert ground as he pulled out the blaster rifle from his back, aimed and fired three shots, then an other three, and an other three, and a other three, the Yuuzhan Vong Armor was stronger then he thought!
He aimed up and fired an other three shots, it meant the alien in the face, and thick, purple, and black blood poured from the vaporized face.
Anakin put the Rifle back on its place on his back, and continued onwards, through the rough light brown sand. He active his light saber, its violet blade hummed as it busted into the under arm flesh of a Yuuzhan Vong, cutting off the arm, and then to the neck, within in a minute the head came off.
He continued on, and met with the first airborne platoon, which was being headed by his brother, Jacen, Anakin was the second in command. "What's going on?" Anakin asked when he was in ear shot of Jacen.
"I just got word," Jacen began to explain. "that the Division wants us to move to flank the shapers."
Anakin ran that through his head, maybe they were meeting a other platoon, even two jedi and 14 other troopers would have a hard time taking out a company worth of yuuzhan vong. But Anakin wouldn't question those orders.
As they moved into a flanking postion, Jacen walked up to Anakin. "This is going to get us killed." He was muttering.
"Nah." Anakin said. "We beat the Yuuzhan Vong at Myrkr didn't we? No reason we can't beat them here."
Anakin could see that his brother now looked more sure then he did a moment ago, maybe something had happened when Jacen was saving Anakin from the Vong at Myrkr, That time felt like a blur to him anyway.
Much time pasted, and they ran into only a few of the Yuuzhan vong enemies. Anakin had guessed right, well, to a degree, when they were in position, they met with a company of republic troops.
A group of Y-wings flew over them, being flanked by a group of seven X-wings, and them spreading out to engage a group of four Coral skippers. After the Y-wings dropped there bombs, and the flames engulfed the area, they charged, Jacen with his Emerald light saber ignited and lashing out at shapers and Warriors.
Anakin used his Violet saber and chopped through a Shapers belly, cutting him in half. He leaped into the air with and cut into the forehead of a other shapper. The purple Blood spat like a splat of a maple tree, a other slash down the same shapers back and he was dead
Anakin used the force and flung himself over a warrior, and striking into its forehead. Cutting it open and letting purple blood pour out. Anakin felt a rough grip of a Yuuzhan Vong hand catch his back, it flung him over and he hit the ground, a kick, and a Vong foot was on Anakin's belly. Anakin could feel the rough edge of a blaster rifle digging into his back.
He looked to his right just as the Yuuzhan Vong was raising his Amphistaff for a final blow. Anakin saw his light saber, he reached out for it in the force, and it flung into his open palm. He raised it and blocked the staff coming down for him. He pushed it up and into the air and then threw it with the force into the alien's face, and the out again, purple blood splattered onto his face, but he whipped it off.
A large blast of blue energy flew through the air. But it came down and splattered onto the ground, vaporizing many Yuuzhan Vong. They were now getting armor support. He started to lash out with his light saber at shapers, warriors, anything that started to attack him, and they didn't last long. Plasma started to whip by though, and he was hit by a few thud bugs. I-its just like Myrkr. He thought Plasma, thud bugs, death... Just like Myrkr! Its just like Myrkr!
Fear started to pour over him, nothing like this had ever happened before, but it started to look and feel like the mission to the world ship. The red colored plasma blasting around, threatening to kill someone. Just like Myrkr. He hadn't ever been this fearful in his life! Fear of dying had never been something he had thought about before. But now? Now death was breathing down his neck, with the possibly of throwing him into its white abyss of pain.
He started to feel Jacen in the force. Telling him to relax, that he had nothing to worry about. And Jacen was right. Anakin suddenly felt sure again. He started to slash at a Warrior, then killed it, the Yuuzhan Vong started to fall between the east and west, and the tanks went to follow them. They had cleared out the whole desert. Victory was there's.
