Chapter 3: The New Enemy: The Tide of Battle Turns!
"I don't trust bounty hunters. All your enemy has to do is pay them a high wage, and they'll turn around and stab you in the back!" Master Kurosaki
The battle above Muunilinst rages on, with the Republic starships taking little casualties. Vulture Droid after Vulture Droid falls prey to the faster and heavier armed V-19 Torrents of the Republic and the quicker, more evasive Jedi starfighter piloted by Master Kurosaki, preventing any hope of aerial reinforcement for the dwindling droid armies of the Muun Separatists.
Double D's ground forces have also taken their toll on the Separatists' droid army, pushing them as far back as the entrance to the city. Double D's clone forces fire into the thinning droid army as they fall back deeper and deeper into the city. Double D grins in triumph, when his COM link beeps.
"Sir, we've reached our objective!" A voice says.
"Good work, Frodo! Commence with your orders!"
"Yes, sir!"
The clone troops standing atop the massive Muun defensive battering cannon rappel down the side and take cover in a nearby building.
"Okay, who wants to do the honors?" Fordo asks, holding the detonating remote in his hand.
"I'll do it! I've always wanted to blow up Separatist stuff," an ARC trooper says.
"No, I wanna push the button!" Another trooper exclaims. Suddenly, he pounces on the ARC and begins punching him. The ARC trooper fights back.
"DOGPILE!!" The other troopers yell, jumping into the fight. Fordo shakes his head with disgust.
"I guess I'll have to do it…"
Meanwhile, Double D's SPHA-Ts have stopped raining lasers down on the outskirts of the city and have begun firing at the areas in front of the Separatist observation tower. The tower reels as the powerful laser bolts destroy buildings and droid reinforcements making their way to the front line.
Inside sit the Separatist leaders, Bowser, Denzel Crocker, Dr. Eggman, and Lord Pain. They watch helplessly as the Grand Army of the Republic marches closer and closer to their hideaway.
"Those guns are destroying our forward positions, Bowser," Lord Pain says in horror, pointing at a hologram layout of the entire battle. "The Republic is breaking through!!"
BOOM!! A violent explosion rocks the tower. The room quiets down for a moment.
"Sir," Crocker says, "The cannon at the base of the tower has been destroyed. Either the clones have sabotaged our defenses, or this is the work of….FAIRY GODPARENTS!!" Crocker begins jumping all over the place. Bowser stomps on him.
"Quiet, Crocker! I don't have time for another one of your spazz attacks! I'm trying to figure out what to do!" The tower shakes as shots hit the tower's base.
"Their range is greater than we thought!" Dr. Eggman exclaims. "And our reinforcements are almost wiped out!"
"It-it has to be those artillery cannons!!" Pain stammers.
"We can't lose to a bunch of clones!" Bowser says, slamming his fist on the hologram table.
He turns to a red-haired figure standing in the corner. He has some form of alien writing on his face and a large gourd is tied to his back.
"YOU!! I don't know why Kevin sent you here, but if all you're going to do is stand around…." Silver-colored granules appear from the shadows and wrap around Bowser's neck. "I mean, you can go when you're ready…." The figure grins and puts Bowser down.
The figure walks through a door and reappears outside where a legion of IG-Lancer Droids awaits him.
"Let's ride!" He tells the droids. The droids grab their lances and climb aboard their swoop bikes. The red-haired figure, a bounty hunter named Gaara, climbs on his modified bike and revs the engine.
Gaara zooms off towards the front line, the droids following behind him with their lances ready.
Meanwhile, on the battlefront, Double D's army has managed to push all the remaining battle droids into the city. Ed is happily slicing through any droids still standing in the Republic's way while Eddy is lounging on a rock and Carrie is looking at something in the sky.
"This is fun!" Ed exclaims.
"You're doing a very good job, Ed," Double D says. "I wish I could say the same for Eddy and Carrie…." Carrie looks over at Double D.
"Oh, is it my turn already?" She asks. "Yay!! My turn, my turn!!" Carrie grabs her lightsaber, but nothing happens. Carrie looks at the bite mark filled lightsaber hilt and presses a button on the side; nothing.
"Here, let me see it," Double D says, taking the lightsaber from Carrie. He looks inside. "Carrie, why is there chewed gum crammed in your lightsaber?"
"Well, I had to put it somewhere!"
"Just clean it out and don't let it happen again! Eddy, you could at least help Ed instead of lying around!"
Eddy lazily looks at Ed, who is swinging his lightsaber wildly at some droids and yelling, "TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER!!"
"Ed looks like he has things taken care of, Sockhead, so I don't really have anything to do!" Eddy sticks his tongue out at his master and lays back down.
The clone forces charge into the city, led by a group of missile-launcher toting clones and an AT-TE. A clone fires his launcher at a tank, destroying it on contact, but a swoop bike emerges from the smoke.
Suddenly, more of them appear, and Lancer Droids take down clone after clone and AT-TE after AT-TE. Gaara heads for an AT-TE and silver sand from his gourd forms a lance around his hand. As he flies under it, he stabs the walker's underbelly, causing it to explode. He and his forces then continue to wipe out Double D's front-line forces.
Meanwhile, in the middle of the line, Double D is watching his SPHA-Ts fire again and again on the city. Carrie then taps him on the shoulder.
"Carrie, what do you want? You're supposed to be cleaning out your lightsaber!"
"Master, what's that over there?" Carrie points to a cloud of dust heading right for the side of Double D's SPHA-Ts. Double D looks through a pair of binoculars and sees a large number of Lancer Droids on swoop bikes heading his way!
"Clones," Double D says. "Take defensive positions!"
The clones grab their blasters and aim for the bikes speeding their way; however, their efforts are futile as they're struck down with the droid's lances.
Gaara separates his forces and proceeds with taking out the SPHA-Ts. Using the silver granules in his gourd, Gaara forms a sword around his right hand, and begins lopping off the legs of the SPHA-Ts, sending them to the ground. His droids simply stab the legs with their lances, with the same result. Double D watches helplessly as his entire unit of SPHA-Ts are destroyed right before his eyes.
"Wha-what's going on?" Eddy asks, jumping behind the rock he was lying on earlier.
"I don't…"
Gaara stops his bike in front of the four Jedi, hoists a lance into the air, and screams in triumph.
"It's the Gen'Dai bounty hunter," Double D says in awe. "Gaara!!"
