Alright everyone here is chapter seventeen of Brothers In Arms, and this is where the fun begins. before we start I want to point out that Batman Begins belongs to Christopher Nolan, Star Wars belongs to Disney and my OCs belong to me.

Chapter 17: Storm Over Ryloth

Hyperspace (Anthony's POV)

As we were going through hyperspace, I sat in my chair wondering how we were going to help the Republic. I looked at Adam and asked, "So how are we gonna do this?"

"Easy." He said and then added, "We're gonna go in there, hit them hard and hit them fast and leave before any of this gets ugly."

"Okay." I said.

"Look listen. Once we get out of hyperspace, who knows what's gonna be going on. I need you to be calm and not panic." He said to me.

"Got it." I said to him.

As we were waiting to get out of hyperspace our hearts began to beat faster than usual. I was scared as I began to tap my foot and fingers. Adam then looked at me and noticed that I was scared. "Hey." He said to me. "Use that fear it'll help you be more alert." A few minutes later we got out of hyperspace and arrived at Ryloth.

Ryloth (Adam's POV)

As left hyperspace what we saw was something we couldn't believe our eyes. Republic ships being torn apart by Separatist ships who were attacking them like lions attacking an injured zebra. We then saw fighters on both sides firing at each other like birds of prey fighting for territory. And all of this was happening right after we left hyperspace. I then looked at Anthony and said, "Anthony I'm gonna head into the Prowler. I'm gonna need you to fly this ship while I try to get those enemy fighters off those Republic ships.

"Okay." He said to me, as I rushed over and got into the Prowler. I then strapped my self in and put Zeta's chip inside the fighter.

"You ready for this Zeta?" I asked.

"Let's find out Adam." She said to me.

"Anthony, open the hatch." I said.

"Got it. Be careful Adam." He said on his comlink inside our helmets.

"You too bro." I said as me and Zeta took off into battle. As we were flying through space we soon saw three vulture droids heading in our direction.

"Adam! Vulture droids heading this way!" She said to me.

"I see them." I said as we engaged them. As we headed straight towards them I started using the machine guns to separate one from the group. My plan soon worked as one vulture droid split up from the group. We soon followed that one deserter and began firing at the droid. "Zeta lock on to that droid."

"On it." She said as she aimed the machine guns at droid, which blew it up. "We got it Adam!" She said cheerfully.

"Nice job Zeta!" I said to her as we then saw another droid coming at us. "Looks like we have another droid coming at us!" I said before the droid began firing at us. We couldn't use our guns on it because we couldn't fire without getting shot. So instead we were being chased by that one droid through the battlefield, going through ships that were destroyed. And eventually that one droid invited some of his friends and we were being chased by five droids. This all looked so familiar to the time Anthony and I were being chased by those wolves. I then had an idea. "Zeta get the heat seeking missiles ready."

"Okay, but we won't be bale to fire at them if they're behind us." She said.

"I know! Get them ready and hold on to something." I said.

"Hold on to WHAAAAAAAT!" She screamed as I immediately turned off the engines, which made us stop in our tracks and letting the droids flying right by us. "Please don't that again." She asked. i then immediately reactivated the engines and locked onto the droids.

"Sorry! Fire the missiles now!" I said as we soon fired the missiles at the droids causing them to blow up. "Nice job Zeta!" I said.

"Thanks. But a little heads up next time." She said to me as we continued to help out.

Nightstalker (Anthony's POV)

While Adam was helping by taking out some of those fighters, Theta and I decided to help take out some of the enemy ships. I then had an idea. "Theta activate the cloaking device."

"Anthony the cloaking device isn't fully functional. It'll last for a few minutes and will turn off whether we fire our guns or not." He said to me.

"Well let's make this shot count. Activate it now." I said

"Yes Anthony." He said as he activated the cloaking device. From the inside of our ship we didn't look like we were invisible but from the outside we noticed that none of the enemy ships didn't fire at us as we came towards them. "Anthony we have two minutes before the cloaking device goes out."

"Alright. Aim our canons at the nearest ship." I said as Theta aimed all of our canons at a ship that was near a control ship.

"Anthony the cloaking device is about to go out in 3…2…1." He said.

"Fire!" I said as we fired all of our missiles and canons at the ship, destroying it. "Nice job Theta!"

"Thank you Anthony." He said.

"Let's get out of here! How long do we have until we can use the cloaking device?!" I asked as we flew away from the ships that were firing at us.

"We have five minutes before we can use it again." He said.

"Alright then." I said, as we flew out of the battlefield, avoiding the canons that were being fired at us. After waiting for five minutes we soon activated our cloaking device and moved toward the ships, only this time we were gonna attack the control ship. "Theta aim all of our canons at the control ship straight ahead of us." I said.

"Yes Anthony. Cloaking device deactivating in 3…2…1." Theta said.

"Fire all canons!" I ordered as we focused all of our firepower on the control ship destroying it. Once it was destroyed the remaining gun ships began to fire on the Separatist ships. I soon got a call from Adam. "Adam did you just see that?" I said excitingly.

"Nice job Anthony!" Adam said to me on his comlink. "I'm gonna head down to the capital to help those clones reclaim it."

"Alright then, I'll see you down there." I said before I hung up on Adam.

"Anthony I'm getting a call from one of the Republic ships. Should I put them on the holocomm?" Theta asked.

"Yes." I said I got off my seat and walked over to a room that was designed for holocomm communication. I then activated the holocomm. "Hello who is this?"

Soon a hologram of Anakin Skywalker appeared in front of me. "This is General Skywalker of this Republic fleet. Who am I speaking to?"

Republic Ship (Normal POV)

As the Republic ships began to enter Ryloth's atmosphere Anakin Skywalker and his padawan Ahsoka Tano stood near a holocomm where a hologram of a soldier wearing white and blue armor with a robotic voice asked, "Hello who is this?"

Anakin then said, "This is General Skywalker of this Republic fleet. Who am I speaking to?"

The soldier on the hologram than answered. "My name is...Patriot."

Skywalker then asked, "What are you doing here Patriot? I don't remember calling in bounty hunters to join the fight."

"Oh we're not bounty hunters. We are here to help you?" The soldier responded.

"We?" Ahsoka said as she stepped into the holocomm to talk to the soldier.

"My friend and I are here to help destroy the Separatists and reclaim Ryloth." The soldier said.

"We appreciate your help. But we can handle this ourselves." Anakin said.

"Yeah you guys had it under control until we got here." The soldier said in a sarcastic tone.

"Look if you don't leave Ryloth with your friend we will forced to use lethal force." Anakin said.

"It's too late...you can't stop us." The soldier said and then added, "And we're just getting started." After he finished that sentence the hologram of the soldier turned off.

Anakin then looked ordered a clone trooper, "Trooper get General Windu on warn him about Patriot's friend."

"Yes sir." The clone said as it left to warn Master Windu.

And that is where we will end this chapter. It looks like Adam is in for one hell of a battle on the planet and it looks like Anakin isn't pleased with having mercenaries intervene with this battle. Like this chapter leave a comment and tell me what you think.
