Chapter 8 The New Adversary
After the Elite Commandos got through the droids and to the factory they landed and started deploying troops. They split up their troops into three sections. One on the left, one on the right, and one between them. Then the Jedi took some of the best Elite troops and took them into their direct control. After they split up their troops they sent in one battalion of troops to clear out the droids. It took a while but a scout came out and told the Commandos that the way was clear. The commandos took their clones and went in after the battalion. When they entered they found that all the clones were slaughtered.
"What happened here?" asked Dan.
"More light saber wounds," said Stephanie, "this means only one person, Darth Reven."
"Oh," said Nate, "I am starting to hate him."
The team moved on carefully because they knew that the droids most likely were not destroyed. As they moved toward the power core of the factory they felt like they were being watched. When they entered the power chamber the door slammed shut behind them. Darth Reven jumped down from the ceiling. As he jumped down he took out the small squads of clones but left the Jedi for a fair fight.
"You know," started Reven, "I could have just killed you there. But because I am such a good sport I let you live to see a fair fight."
"Yes," said Steph, "we know you could have killed us. But a good sport… tch…I would guess."
The five people faced each other. The Commandos ignited their sabers and the room was suddenly brightened by the light of the four light sabers. The commandos could tell that this battle was going to be a difficult battle but they didn't know why. Suddenly Reven sneered and the commandos were confused why, he was outnumbered and out gunned.
"You think you have me outnumbered," sneered Reven, "but I have a secret weapon. A thing so powerful none of you will be able to get passed him. I present to you General Grivis!"
At this a man with two robotic arms attached to his back. He reached to his belt and pulled out four light sabers. At the sight of this the Jedi Commandos were stunned. To add to their startle Yoda comes breaking through the doors to the power room.
"Yes," said Yoda, "but they have something you don't `have. They have allies to come to their aid."
After Yoda said this the other two battalions of troops came into the room firing at Grevis. When the clones came in the other Jedi suddenly started to fight each other. The battle that followed was a fierce one. The room became too crowed so Reven took the Jedi's battle out into the droid factory. The commandos followed but they were too late Reven was too well hidden. The Jedi started to search for him. As they got farther into the factory Reven dropped down behind them and the battle continued.
The battle against Grevis wasn't going too well either; he had slaughtered all the clones. He stopped to look at Yoda before charging at him. Yoda quickly ignited his saber and cut Grevis's legs and arms off. Then he left a giant saber burn against his chest, General Grevis was defeated. After Yoda had defeated Grevis he went off in search of the others fighting Reven.
The battle between Reven and the commandos had taken a toll on everyone. Reven never seemed to tire while the commandos were getting worn out. Because the commandos were getting tired their reflexes were getting sluggish. Reven took a swing at al of them and left burn marks on all their arms. He then pushed them down on the ground. He was about to strike the killing blow when Yoda entered the room and stopped him.
"Reven," said Yoda, "you cannot hurt these young Jedi."
"Why do you say that," sneered Reven, "of coarse I can hurt these Jedi. Just watch me."
"You can't," said Yoda, "because I won't let you."
After Yoda said this Reven started to swing to land the killing blow. Yoda jumped into the way and blocked the swing. After Yoda blocked the swing Reven became enraged and attacked Yoda. This battle was the fiercest the commandos have ever seen. The battle raged for a long time but at the end Yoda deemed to have the upper hand.
"You can never defeat me old man," said Reven, "you are too weak and too small."
"As I like to say," said Yoda, "size matters not. Now you are unwise to lower you defenses."
Yoda took one more swing and lopped off his head. The Jedi quickly went back into the power room, where the dismembered body of Grevis still laid, and placed a timed explosive on the power core. After the Jedi placed the bomb they hurried to get out of the factory before it went off. They were almost out when the bomb went off. They had to dive to get out of the way of the ball of fire that exploded out of the entrance. The Jedi headed to the new forward command post. They had bacta applied to their wounds and debarked from the planet.
