X-70 B - enroute to Geonosis
Standing apon the bridge of his luxurious ship . Arms crossed , Nox glared out through the viewport at the swirling vortex of blue streams of light .
Wearing his sith cultist armour with the cortosis weave skin suit underneath , over the top of his armour was a black cloak to obscure both himself and his armour , Hidden underneath the cloak , Clipped to his waist was his lightsaber , The flow of the exposed crystal releasing a crimson light under the hem of his robes .
Vaylin , Sitting in the Co-Pilots seat , Ran a comb through her wet hair as she wore a lone loose silk see-through nightgown .
Turning his head from the viewport to stare at Vaylin herself , Nox smiled slightly as he watched her engrossed in her current actions.
Seemingly noticing his staring , Vaylin slowly turned to look towards her lover , Puckering her lips slightly as she held the comb underneath her breasts .
" See something you like " Vaylin purred as she leant forward in her chair .
" Yes ... you tease " Nox chuckled , Seeing Vaylin's satisfaction at the hunger flashing in his eyes .
" Knew it , I'm simply irresistible" Vaylin replied , Fluttering her lashes as she ran her slender fingers down her chin .
" Che ... close enough " Nox leant down and captured her lips with his own .
Their fun was cut short was a low sounding boom echoed throughout the ship , Signifying the arrival to Geonosis .
Becoming serious , Vaylin's face flattened as she stared out through the bridge .
" So this is where is happens huh " Vaylin asked , Nox returning to his standing position as the ship automatically engaged it's cloaking procedures.
" Yes ... can you feel them , Can you see it , The threads of fate are entwined together here , The ripples of time and space quake in anticipation " Nox stared out , Unblinkingly as the Orange world of sand grew closer .
" It's exhilarating" Vaylin answered to his question , Nox nodding in turn as the ship they were on entered the atmosphere of the planet , The arena clear as day as much as Nox could see the rippling power of the force users present .
Knowing Kanya was too nearby , Shrouding herself from everyone present but himself , The X-70 B made its way towards a plateau with a flat surface of orange tinted stone .
" I suppose it's time to depart " Vaylin grunted , Rising from her chair as she made her way to their shared quarters ..
" That it is "
The X-70 settled down atop the orange tinted stone of Geonosis , Waves of sand parting around the vessel as it's landing gear touched down apon the surface of stone .
The ramp to the ship lowered slowly with a hiss , Hitting the ground with a small clang .
Stepping down the ramp , Wearing his robe with his sith cultist armour hidden beneath , Like a stalking behemoth of shadow , Nox stopped to stare at the orange planet with an apathetic gaze .
At his side , Sauntering down the ramp with a curled smirk , Vaylin came to a stop behind his right shoulder.
Looking towards the Colosseum , Nox watched as clouds of Geonosian's swarmed towards the stone construct.
Absentmindedly, Nox took note of the separatist core ships buried into the surface of the planet , Massive silos scattered around the sand flats that spanned kilometres.
Stepping off of the ramp , Nox squinted and looked around .
" Engage cloaking measures and return to the stratosphere until called apon , I wouldn't want anyone to happen apon our ship by accident " Nox ordered the onboard AI , Watching the ship lift off from the ground , It's ramp closing as it did so whilst it's form began to shimmer and disappear .
The only proof of the ships departure for them was the low boom of the thrusters propelling the ship high into the atmosphere and the sudden change in the air currents , Vaylin's hair whipping around from under her cloak as she and Nox began to walk to the edge of the stone plateau .
" Are you ready to watch the opening chapters of yet another war " Nox held out his open hand , Slithering from within the black void of his sleeves .
" Of course " Vaylin took hold of Nox's hand , Prepared for the feeling of vertigo that came with Nox making use of fold space apon them .
GEONOSIS PETRANAKI ARENA
Appearing within one of the tree towering columns of stone that surrounded the Colosseum , Nox stared down below towards the stands and the arena floor below , Making sure he didn't step out from the shadow of the window sill .
" They're bringing the prisoners out " Vaylin murdered , Watching as Obi-Wan Kenobi was brought into the arena on a drawn carriage , Tugged along by a reptile with a Geonosian solider .
The gathered populous of Geonosian's that were scattered throughout the arena cheered as the man was chained to the first of the four pillars that stood at the centre of the arena .
Sniffing his nose slightly , Nox twitched as Vaylin caught wind of his odd behaviours, The man turning to face one of the darkened archways leading to the arena with an analytical eye .
" Dear ..." Vaylin enquired as Nox flatly stared at the archway , As if waiting for something to happen .
" I smell lust ... passion ... Love ... And it's coming from Skywalker ... and Amidala " Nox answered , Watching the haze of emotion peel out of the archway with a small grin .
" Oh " Vaylin quickly turned to face where Nox was staring , Just In-time to catch Padme and anakin pulling apart , But she didn't miss the passion not the emotion rippling off of the two as they stared into each other's eyes " I think I'm going to be sick "
" I've seen you stare at some of your dinners with the same intensity as that " Nox playfully remarked as Vaylin's brow twitched .
" Shut it " Vaylin bit non aggressively , turning to pout as Anakin and Padme were carted out to each of their own pillars , Chained in a similar way to Obi-Wan.
" Count Dooku " Nox observed the grey haired man that stood beside Nute Gunray and the archduke alongside the reported bounty hunter Jango fett.
" The famed Makashi master " Vaylin stared at the supposedly dangerous old man who looked far more spry for his age than one should .
" That's the one " Nox confirmed as the archduke spoke to the Geonosian's in the stands .
" I wanna test him " Vaylin's hand twisted towards the hilt if her weapon .
" Another time perhaps , They're bringing out the executioners " Nox remarked as three large gates were opened , Three creatures being escorted towards their targets by their handlers .
" They've got a reek " Nox pointed to a large triple horned bull like creatures that roared ferociously at its handlers .
" Don't we have one of those " Vaylin pointed out towards the green insectoid that snapped and hissed as it was prodded on .
" Close but no , That's an Acklay , We have a Gladiopod " Nox replied as Vaylin pursed her brow .
" What's the difference " Vaylin asked in genuine curiously.
" Biome I suspect , I'm positive they had a common ancestor somewhere down the line , Just differences in environment led to the difference of appearance and capabilities " Nox informed .
" Ah I see ... and that's a Nexu" Vaylin stared at the feline with a small smile , Her interest peeked " I Want one "
" I'm sure I could order one or two of their cubs for you " Nox answered , Vaylin smiling much like the cat that got the canary .
" It appears the fun is about begin " Nox leant against the stone windowsill and stared down as the Acklay began its attack .
Sweat pooled on Obi-Wan's brow as he ducked out of the way of the Acklays attack , Moving his chained arms infront of the beasts claw , Silently rejoicing as the beasts claw shattered the chain , Allowing his freedom as he ducked out of the way of another swipe .
Leaping to the left , Immediately followed by a bounce to the right , Obi-Wan avoided two death guaranteeing stabs and leapt behind the pillar out of his attackers reach in search of a way to remove his cuffs .
Hearing a solid smash , He turned to his left to see the reek had smashed it's head in an effort of pulverising Anakin . Instead however , Anakin had leapt up and over the beasts head and landed on its back , And with a shake , The monster had torn Anakins chain in half as the young man clung to the red and grey beast .
Obi-Wan didn't have any more time to think however as a green pincer wrapped around the pillar and attempted to stab him through , The Jedi master rolling out of the way as he heard Padme scream out in pain .
" That's... probably going to get infected if it's not treated soon " Nox remarked as he watched Padme scream and slash at the Nexu with her chains , Forcing the feline to fall from the pillar and whimper about in pain .
Feeling a burst of anger and hatred , Nox stared at Anakin , Seeing the young man's heated expression as he stared at the Nexu and Padme . The sheer panic and compassion rolling off the boy enraptured Nox's attention as it was abundantly clear at what was causing it .
" One would think the supposed chosen one would have more stable emotions " Vaylin squinted at Anakin as the boy came to Padme's rescue whilst controlling the reek .
" What the fuck ... " Vaylin winced as Padme dropped down from the pillar and landed on the reek on her crotch " How strong is her crotch "
With the Acklay pulling back as it was attacked by one of the guarding Geonosian's , Anakin and Padme picked up Obi-Wan, The Jedi master jumping up onto the reek behind the senator as he nodded towards his apprentice .
Their reprieve ended soon after as the gates to the arena opened soon after , A Legion of battle droids marching and rolling in under Dooku's command .
Pulling the reek to a stop , Anakin , Padme and Obi-Wan looked nervously at the Droideka's that came to a stop infront of them , Their cannons mounted and at the ready for the order to kill their targets .
Seemingly waiting to give the order , Count dooku looked apon the to be victims with an unimpressed looked of superiority , A small grunt leaving the man as he prepared to give the order .
However , Apon hearing the snap hiss of a lightsaber behind him , Dooku raised an eyebrow and turned to face the assailant .
" Master Windu ... How pleasant of you to join us " Dooku crossed his hands together infront of his brown robes as he stared at the master of the order whom had his purple saber Ignited and held to Jango fett's neck .
" This parties over " Was all Windu responded with , As lightsabers around the stands of the Colosseum were ignited , Sending the Geonosian's in the stands panicking .
A sea of blue and green erupted , A stark contrast against the dull orange stone as the Jedi and Jedi council members stood ready .
" Brave but um ... foolish my old Jedi friend . You're impossibly out numbered " Dooku remarked , His face a stone cold slab as he remained unimpressed .
" I don't think so " Windu retorted as he squinted at dooku .
" We'll see " Dooku answered as his eyes flickered over Windu's shoulder , Alerting the Jedi master to the march of four super battle droids .
Turning to face the silver droids , Windu immediately deflected red bolts blasting at him from the battle droids wrist mounted blasters . And was forced to leap up and away from the bounty hunter that he had taken his eyes off of as a plume of fire erupted from the Mandalorions gauntlet , Scorching Windu's robes as he dropped to the arena floor below , Cursing his failure at apprehending dooku as he tore off his burning robe and left it in the sand .
With the apprehension of dooku a failure , The arena dropped into chaos , The army of droids in and under the Colosseum spewing forward to meet the line of Jedi in open combat.
Standing on one of the higher platforms of the stands , Kanya glared down at the battle opening up below , Shrugging off her robe to expose her new armour , Having left the Exiled Padawan's armour behind because it would no doubt be known to the separatists at this point and did not want to be connected to it .
This time she wore a set of resilient wardens armour , Dyed pearl white much to her liking .
igniting her yellow bladed saber , Kanya's fiery orange eyes scanned the field below , Searching for her brother . And she found him , Still mounted to the reek as he and Obi-Wan were tossed Sabers , Freeing themselves and Padme of their cuffs .
" Don't worry Anakin ... I'm coming " Crouching low , Kanya tensed her muscle before launching herself high into the air , Out to the centre of the Colosseum as she reached the apex of her leap . She stalled for a moment in the air , Taking in the sight as she breathed in , And as the she pushed out the air from her lungs , She became a dropping comet of black and yellow light .
Slamming into the ground at the centre of a group of droids , Time seemed to slow to the woman , Her body acting accordingly.
Her lightsaber flashed right , Seperating a droids head from its body , And as it's head still fell in slow motion , Kanya reversed her saber in her grip and slashed behind her , Slicing another clear down the middle before she twirled and sliced the remained two around to her left in half all within a second .
Everything returned to real time as Kanya looked around her ,The rest of the battles occupants taking note of the new addition .
" Pathetic " Kanya hissed with a hard glare , Blade intercepting a Bolt without looking to be redirected back at its sender " Forty dead jedi already , Did you just expect them to bend over for you without a fight "
The droid , Finally registering her as a threat , Targetted the woman as she leapt into action , Superhuman speed and reflexes carving a swath of death through the first rank of droids to open fire apon her.
" She's gotten stronger " Vaylin remarked , Watching Nox's apprentice seemingly flash around the battlefield , explosions of metal following the girls wake as she let loose .
"In a way , She's simply learnt the consequences of failure , And now she fears it " Nox remarked as Kanya leapt high over a super battle droid and sliced it down the middle before landing on her feet and flashing towards a Droideka .
" But even then " Nox turned his attention to the overall battle . For every droid Kanya destroyed , Two more took their places , And endless army of metal marching without care as they were made to trample the forces of the Jedi " Its not enough "
" Are we to save them " Vaylin asked as her fingers kept twitching towards her lightsaber , watching as Jango fett leapt from his place at Count Dooku's side , Activating his jet pack to join in the battle unfolding .
" No , We need not interfere , I can sense the Jedi grand master approaching from outside of orbit with what appears to be a great many lifeforms , The need to save them doesn't fall on our shoulders " Nox explained as he crossed his arms and went back to observing the rest of the battle below .
Stilling slightly , Nox turned to face deeper into the dark catacomb hallway , The light of the window behind him casting a long shadow that connected with the overarching dark beyond.
" It appears we have overstayed our welcome " In his grip , The black blade of his sabre screamed to life with a horrid scream , A shroud of purple curving around the blade as it's purple light shon . Tearing from and cross the purple shroud , Red arcs of lightning leaping from the blade to crash against the stone , Illuminating it in violent flashes of red .
Illuminated under the red light of the striking bolts , Reflective eyes of hundreds of Geonosian's stared back , Climbing on-top eachother , the ceiling and the walls .
" May I " Vaylin asked , Practically salivating at the chance to annihilate the bugs Chittering before them .
" Of course " Nox nodded , And with a scream , The blade of his weapon receded into the hilt , Plunging the catacomb into darkness once more .
Said darkness didn't last long however as a yellow light bathed the catacomb in its rays , Vaylin's blade in her grip as she wasted no time in sprinting at the congregated bugs .
Glee shon on Vaylin's face as she collided with the first bug , Blade tearing through its chest as she bounced to the left to clip the wings from one who tried to fly behind her.
Grabbing a third by the neck , Vaylin dragged it into the path of a green ring shot from one of the blasters leaping out of the way as the pulse struck the bug , Vaylin blurred , Features becoming indiscernible as she plunged her free hand through the blaster wielding bug , Discarding its body to the side as her hot blade carved through it's surrounding allies.
Ducking under a reaching arm , Vaylin ducked up against the stone cold wall that met her back , watching one of the bugs as it's sailed past with a hiss .
She swung her hand out to slap it's head , It's neck breaking and spinning into the other direction as it fell to the ground .
Backed up against the wall , Vaylin was surrounded on all sides by Geonosian's, Her eyes straining to the window to see Nox had remained leant against the window sill to allow her her fun .
Rather than being worried , Vaylin smirked as she brought her lightsaber to her front , Readying herself in her stance whilst the force coalesced around her palm .
She spasmed slightly as she called for the Darkside to come to her , The intensity of her eyes growing before her head snapped forward and let out a scream .
The tunnel shook as the first line of Geonosian's scampered and scattered in sheer terror as the scream did as it was supposed to .
Her lightsaber flashed in a blur , Sweeping around in an arc to the left to carve through the left flank , Her left hand now located under her right arm as her blade in her right hand completed it sweep , Pointing at the right flank as a torrent of lightning leapt from her fingers , Singing the Geonosian's under the barrage .
With the first line of opponents now deceased , Vaylin looked deeper into the tunnel to see the rest of the Geonosian's exchanging chatter , Seemingly scared and weary as they stood off with her as she retook her position at the centre of the tunnel .
" Well it's no fun if you're too scared to attack " She deactivated her weapon and clipped it to her belt as dark power began to build up in both hands once more .
Seeing her deactivate her weapon, The Geonosian's took their chance to attack as they surged forward , But this proved to be their folly as Vaylin smiled wickedly , Once more lightning snapped and forked from her fingers and into the bug , Lightning up the hallway in blue and white light as the first four bugs completely exploded , The others melted or worked as conductors as lightning jumped from them and towards another nearby . But they all had the same thing in common as they became deceased almost immediately after being washed over by Vaylin's lightning .
Sensing no further life up ahead , Vaylin halted the flow of dark energy through her fingers as the intense arcs died down , Leaving husks where the bugs had once been , Smoke and fire rising from their burnt flesh whilst bolts of electricity occasionally jumped from them to disperse into the air .
Lowering her hands , Vaylin clicked her hands to her side and turned to walk back to Nox's side .
" Satisfied " Nox asked , Looking back down into the arena .
" Not in the slightest " Vaylin answered , Her brow knitting as she grumbled to herself " What now "
" We leave , I've seen enough , And soon the Jedi and their armies will be swarming ... yes it's time we left " Extending his hand , Vaylin once more slid her fingers Into his awaiting hand , Squeezing it gently in her grasped as her eyes became lidded and she smiled slightly .
With the two becoming enveloped in a purple haze , They evaporated from the catacomb , The only proof someone was there being the deceased corpses that would be pinned on a Jedi when discovered .
The battle raged on around them as Padme and anakin took cover behind an upturned skiff .
Standing back to back , Mace and Obi-Wan deflected all blaster fire coming their way , The practitioner of Soresu and the Vapaad master proved effective in defending eachother .
But it was proving to be futile , As no matter how many droids or Geonosian's were dropped , More took their place . Kanya's words proved true , As up until now , Over one hundred end eighty of the two hundred and fifty Jedi had been slain in the arena.
Kanya dropped low as a Bolt sailed overhead , Her right arm extended to her far right as the droid to shoot at her fell to the ground with its head cut off .
Extending her left arm to the opposite side of its right , She made a gripping motion with her hands and dragged them towards her chest .
Two droids were immediately dragged towards her , Their confusion distracting them long enough for Kanya to leap up and behead them .
Landing on the ground with a small huff , Kanya's braided hair hung over her eyes , The woman looking around the arena with a hard gaze .
' This isn't good ' Kanya saw the Jedi seemed to be being herded together towards the centre of the arena ' I need to get Anakin and Padme out of here '
Picking up a dead jedi's lightsaber , A pale skinned human female with black hair , Kanya ignited the green blade in her left hand , Pointing both blades at the ground as she leant forward and charged at the place she had spotted Anakin to be .
Keeping low , Her two blades left twin trails of smouldering sand as she chopped and carved her way through the droids in her path .
A small hop to the right and a swing of her left hand seperated the arms of a B2 battle droid .
Dropping to the ground , Kanya slid under the legs of a Geonosian whilst her yellow blade was pointed up and split the insect in half .
Leaping up from her slide , Kanya's she's wandered for a second , Allowing her to make a split second decision " For fucks sake "
She sped towards a ring of droids surrounding a Padawan whom did his best to deflect every bolt being sent at him from every direction as he stood over his master's body .
Breaking through the ring of distracted droids , Kanya hurled the green saber in her grasp as it circled through her targets like an omnidirectional buzzsaw .
Landing infront of the human child ,The boy looked up at her with wide and hopeful eyes as the green saber she had collected landed snugly in her left hand .
" Take this " Kanya handed the boy the green saber , Disengaging her yellow blade as she clung it to her right belt whilst she moved to grab the double bladed saber connected to the back of her belt .
Holding the hilt of her double bladed weapon , Kanya hit the switch , The child watching with awe as a yellow blade with a deep orange glow sprung from the hilt with a deep buzz .
" Get ready kid , I have things to do , I won't come back for you if you fall behind " Kanya held her hilt to the right as she once more lowered herself and prepared to spring forward .
Rather than formulating a reply , The boy ignited both lightsabers once more and promised himself to stick to Kanya's side like glue .
Sprinting forward in the direction of her brother , Kanya skill with the blade proved very effective with the use of the double bladed weapon as she used the length of both blades to extend the range of her abilities .
Hitting the wall of droids , Kanya's blade pieces the chest of a B1 whilst it's opposite behind her seperated a B2 in half .
Clutching the hilt in both hands , Kanya began to spin her blade as she became the focus of local droid fire , The twin blades and her arms became a blur as she became a turbine of orange light .
Spinning her blade , Bolts of plasma reflected from her blade and struck three seperate droids .
Shifting her stance , Kanya changed the orientation of her spinning blade as she stopped the spinning turbine , Choosing to go for more precise movements to block oncoming fire .
Feeling the child she had saved be within arms reach , Kanya noted the child to be doing his best at covering her back , The blade of her weapon moving upwards to the left , And in the same Instance , It's other end dipped slightly as she blocked two seperate bolts .
" You see the line of Jedi over there in the middle of the arena " Kanya asked , Allowing the boy to see the ring made of most of the surviving Jedi .
" Uhh huh , Yes I see " The boy chanced a look as he blocked a shot from the droids.
" That's our target , And it's where you'll be safe " Kanya told the boy , Taking a moment of reprieve as the droids seemed occupied with the rest of the Jedi .
" Okay " The boy nodded as Kanya sprinted at the droids in their way . Spinning and springing forward , Kanya doing her blade overhead before , As she was facing away from the droids , Brought her weapon flat against her stomach and completed the final spin , Seperating an unshielded Droideka in half . Committing a twirl in the opposite direction , She slashed through two B-1's before finishing the three point manoeuver before sending her weapon forward like an angry bicycle wheel that cut through the droids in her path until she shut it down remotely when it broke the line and clattered to the dirt near the centre of the Jedi barricade .
Seeing the path open , The boy joined her side just as she took him by surprise , Slinging her arm around his waist before the world became a blur of lights to him .
He gagged and coughed as the blur stopped ,Dropping to the ground and heaving as Kanya placed him down and picked up her weapon and re-clipped it back to the back of her belt .
Finally taking notice of his location , He was once more awed at the woman whom saved him , The duo now resting firmly near the centre of the ring of Jedi .
" Kanya " Said woman looked over her shoulder to look at the approaching Obi-Wan Kenobi.
" Master Kenobi ... good to see you've survived this long " Kanya brushed the sand from her armour , Grimacing slightly as she felt it in places she rather it not be .
" What are you doing here " Kenobi asked as mace Windu joined his fellow Jedi master .
" I would very much like to know the same " Windu asked as he squinted at Kanya , The young woman scoffing at the brown skinned man's not so hidden suspicion.
" As you can see ,Much the same as you were . Anakin , Obi-Wan and Padme were in trouble , I was in a position to help them " Kanya retorted as she made double sure she wasn't staring at the master of the order with sith like eyes , Rather her own blue eyes that resembled the blue skies of Naboo .
" Alone " Windu stared at her with beady brown eyes as Kanya scoffed .
" I would have been enough to get them away without anybody noticing . Unfortunately you were already present ... " Kanya sniffed at Windu as Kenobi shuffled on his feet .
" Your presence was not needed here , Interloper " Windu bit back as Kanya looked at him as if he were stupid .
" Evidently , Now enough chatting , We have a battle to win , Master Jedi " Kanya nodded and turned on her heel in a rushed effort to accompany her brother whom was standing beside Padme a few paces away , And much to her amusement , The child ... more like teen was still following her nervously .
She noticed the droids were now surrounding them but had ceased firing , Some Jedi scattered around the arena either being knocked down and killed or captured and dragged towards their position .
" Master Windu ... " Kanya knew the voice of the man as she looked up at Dooku as she came to a stop next to Anakin , Gently placing her hand on his shoulder which caused him to jump . However when he saw it was her , She could feel the gratitude and joy rising from him , Followed by a great deal of worry .
" You have fought gallantly " The boy she saved joined at her side , Looking with knitted brows at the Jedi bodies who lay between them and the droids " Worthy of recognition in the archives of the Jedi order "
" Ugh ... ever one for speeches " Kanya gagged as she listened to the count prattle on .
" Now ... it is finished " Dooku continued as Ki adi mundi, Plo Koon and Aayla Secura were brought to them by droids and Geonosian's.
" Surrender and your lives ... will be spared " Dooku attempted to reason , And Kanya , Seeing the amount of droids surrounding them , Couldn't help but think it was a worthy offer , Live to fight another day ,Rather than die in a hopeless battle .
" We will not be hostages to be bartered , Dooku " Mace retorted as Kanya bit her lip , A sour expression on her face .
' Of fucking course ' Kanya gnashed her teeth together in fury .
" Then ... I'm sorry old friend " Dooku looked genuinely saddened by the prospect of having to order their deaths .
Seeing their refusal , The droids rearmed their weapons , Taking firing stances whilst the Jedi made for one last stand . The boy at her side sobbing slightly as he gripped his Saber with white knuckles .
" Hey " Kanya looked down at the young teen as he looked up at her " It's going to be alright "
Calling the force to her aid , Kanya prepared to unleash the full brunt of her power in order to fullfil her promise to the boy and save Anakin and Padme . Her brother looking at her with wide eyes as the hairs on his arms stood on end as it did on the boy who looked at her as if she was an angel sent from the heavens .
Unfortunately, Drawing in such power did not go unnoticed, Not by Kenobi or Windu , And even more unfortunately by Dooku himself as he looked at her , Face flashing with recognition as the air around them became charged with energy .
However , Fortunately, The chance to Unleash her attack was robbed as Padme called for them to look upwards , Causing Kanya to cancel the swell of energy rippling across her arms .
And very much like the angel the boy at her side would describe her as , Master Yoda descended from the sky in a gunship alongside several others .
Beams of green shot from the wings of the gunships as they dropped and flew close to the arena floor , Cutting through scores of droids whilst Kanya Ignited her yellow blade to redirect a Bolt of plasma that had neared Padme .
Chaos erupted as more and more gunships circled the arena .
" Around the survivors , A perimeter create " Yoda instructed as the other gunships slammed into the ground , Allowing their clone passengers to jump to the ground and begin firing apon the droids .
Running towards the gunships , Obi-Wan, Anakin and Padme leapt into one of the ships whilst the Jedi council hoped onto Yoda's ship , The survivors leaping into the third and final .
Kanya and the teen jumped up onto Anakin and Obi-Wan's ship as they rose into the air and headed to the south where clusters of core ships where located .
Venator starships lowered through the atmosphere onto the dusty orange plains across from the core ships and fuel silos .
Over a hundred thousand clones were being deployed from the large ships as missiles soured through the air from anti air batteries and droids .
Leaning out of the ship whilst holding a hand rail , Kanya observed the positioning of the clone deployment , Strategic calculations running through her head as she saw armies of droids being deployed .
Searching for her next objective , Kanya his the glee she felt when she found her target near one of the battle fronts .
Turning to Anakin , Obi-Wan and Padme , Kanya looked over them individually with an appraising eye .
" Will you be okay if I go down and offer my assistance" Anakin looked to Obi-Wan at her question , The two nodding to eachother .
" We'll be fine " Obi-Wan answered as Kanya nodded and turned to address the pilot .
Making her way to the clone pilot , She came up beside the man and pointed to a specific area near one of the canyons .
" I need you to take me there , Can you do that " The LAAT immediately changed direction .
" Of course general " The clone pilot answered as the ship rapidly descended with the other gunships .
" Thank you soldier " Kanya turned away from the pilot and made her way back to the hold , The hilt of her main lightsaber in hand as they came closer to the ground .
Turning to her charge ,Kanya knew the boy would most likely continue to follow her even after they landed " Are you ready "
Dipping closer to the ground , The ship began to shake from oncoming fire , The onboard passengers stumbling as Obi-Wan instructed them to take hold of anything them could .
Seeing the damage the other ships were taking , Anakin had an idea .
" AIM RIGHT ABOVE THE FUEL CELLS " Anakin called out as the gunners did as instructed . Their rockets firing and true to their mark as they hit one of the silos , Forcing the silo to explode and collapse onto the droid forces behind it .
" Good call my young padawn " Obi-Wan complimented as the Laat began its final approach to Kanya's requested landing pad .
The other gunships began to peel off in different directions to deposit their crew ,One staying on the same course as they flew to the further most Venator .
" Ready now , We must make this quick " Kanya told the boy at her side as he crouch ready to drop down .
" Kanya " Anakin called out in worry as his sister turned to face him with a small smile .
" Be safe Anakin , I'll see you soon " Kanya gave a mock salute as the ship landed on the ground , Kanya leaping to the ground with the boy in toe .
" Yea ... see you soon " Anakin couldn't help the profound sense of dread and worry that washed over him at the thought of his sister in the opening battle without him , The fear of losing another dear to him after the loss of his mother causing him to shake slightly as the Laat lifted off the ground .
" Anakin, She'll be alright , She's strong , Just like you " Obi-Wan comforted Anakin in a rare display of affection Jedi shouldn't have .
Steeling himself , Anakin slumped and took a deep breath , Nodding to his master as she LAAT moved onto its next target .
Landing in the dirt , Kanya observed the skirmish ahead . Feeling the passing of a Jedi as he was released into the force nearby .
" Soldier... what's going on here " Kanya hissed as a clone with yellow stripes approached .
" Count dooku has fled using the canyon as cover , We attempted to stop him at the orders of your fellow Jedi ,But we were thwarted by a battalion of droids and their leader . The Jedi have left in pursuit of count dooku but have left one of their own. , However his companion had been struck down and has been unresponsive since " The commander informed Kanya as she stared at the battle from the checkpoint as she saw droids fighting with clones up ahead .
" I need to know our exact numbers and armament , Current status and locations ... Now " Kanya leant her palms against the console as she stared at an open map .
" We have eight thousand untold deployed , Seven thousand nine hundred are regular clone units , Fifty are special forces , Twenty five are gunships and the last twenty five are ATTE . All of which have been deployed into open combat against our enemy forces " Kanya blinked at the explanation , Her face contorting into a hiss .
" Pull back ... Immediately, Use the ATTE cannons and target the walls , Bring them down , Impede the droids progress and bottleneck them , get every soldier back here now " Kanya ordered as the clone stared at her .
" Yes general " The clone seemed all too happy to pull his men back away from the wall of droids .
" What the fuck were they thinking , Just sending our men straight against our enemy , With these numbers ... Commander , How many droids are we opposing " Kanya asked as the commander finished issuing his orders to the men below him .
" General , We are fighting against fifteen thousand units , With the escape of dooku , More have joined the original assault forces and are pushing us back as we speak " The clone spoke as he came to stand at her side whilst the teen stood on her opposite .
" Okay so ... we're outnumbered... out gunned ... and stuck in a canyon ... fuck " Kanya squinted as she stared at the map display , Eyebrow twitching as the voice of an annoying little green alien was heard .
" What are you doing " Like a phantom , The assigned Jedi general appeared , A sad look in his eyes at the death of his Padawan .
" Leading , And since you obviously aren't in the mind set to make hasty and life changing decisions, Compromised you could say , I am asking you to work under my charge , Not as their leader but as a fellow soldier of theirs " The human looked conflicted , Obviously wanting to argue the point with her , But after a thorough self observation, He shut his mouth and nodded slightly .
" What do I need to do " Shen asked , Looking to Kanya for an answer as she returned to looking at the map .
" Commander , this is where the ATTE should halt their progress of retreat , And here ... is where we will collapse the wall " Kanya pointed to the sides of the canyon , The commander seeing what she was pointing awaited for further orders .
" Then , I want the ATTE's to be seperated and placed in an eclipse formation and rain fire down apon anything that comes through . Behind them and infront of them , I want cover made , I don't care how , Demolition experts blowing up rocks, Crashed LAAT pieces of destroyed ATTE's , I want a barricade for our men to have cover made " Kanya ordered , The commander smiling to himself as he rushed to do as ordered .
" You and me Jedi , Are going down their ourselves , We're moving this command point and taking charge directly " Kanya ordered as the commander paused and stared .
" I think I love you general " The commander snarked as he grabbed his blaster rifle and ordered the clones around them to prepare to deploy .
" Lets go " Kanya ignited her lightsaber and made for the line she had ordered the Clones to hold .
" SUPPRESSING FIRE " CC-3367 yelled out as he turned his rotary cannon on the horde of droids . The clone commando standing tall as his arms shook , His brothers running past him as they fell back .
Laughing manically , The commando ignored the bolts that sailed past him as he grinned whilst cutting down all droids in sight .
" CC-3367 , You're clear to pull back " The commando ignored his fellow commando , his commanding officer CC-4153 " Pull Back "
He cut down droid after droid even as his shoulder pauldron was struck by a lucky droid .
" GODAMMIT YOU IDIOT " CC-3367 was tackled from his perch by his commanding officer into the ground below as the rock he was standing on exploded from a rocket .
" Sorry ... Forks ... I don't know what came over me " The clone CC-3367 apologised before he wash brought to his feet by the clone named forks , Stumbling back to the new line of defence as the ATTE's opened fire , Two of the cannons targetting the cliff faces on either side of the cannon .
" Oh geez , This is going to be close " Forks muttered as the cliff face shook , Rumbling as a second volley from the two ATTE's struck the same spot .
The two looked up towards the cliff face as rocks slammed down beside them , Stopping as the rock face exposed further .
" I'm sorry forks " CC-3367 muttered as they stopped and accepted their fate .
" Psycho ... it's not your fault " Forks answered as they held each others shoulders .
Closing their eyes , They waited to be crushed by the rockfall , For the void to take them and the cold to take over their bodies .
" What are you two doing " The two were dragged from their thoughts as they looked towards the strictly feminine voice .
' Beautiful ' Forks froze as he saw the beauty , Rich rosewood coloured lips , Black hair braided and tied behind her head whilst her sky blue eyes stared at them and a skin pale enough to be considered exotic but simply added to her overall beauty , In her hand was a double bladed lightsaber of orange and yellow light .
" Come on , Are you gonna get out of the way of do you want to be shelled to oblivion" The beauty spoke , Knocking Forks out of his confusion as he and psycho looked at their predicament .
On both sides of them , Towering walls of stone stood three times taller than they were tall , Massive boulders piled on-top of eachother , And the only way through , Which they were currently standing in , Was only wide enough for them to stand from shoulder to shoulder .
" Did you ... save us " Forks asked as the woman looked at him .
" Can't have you dying now can I , Now come on , We gotta get back behind the defensive line " She turned and hurried away , Motioning with her hand for them to follow to which they easily agreed .
" It's holding general " The commander announced , Standing underneath one of the ATTE as it occasionally fired it's cannon at the thin crevasse which droids were trying to bypass .
Of the original twenty five ATTE , Only fourteen remained , Standing in two rows far enough apart for the second row to take aim and fire through comfortably. Eight maintained a constant aim at the crevasse whilst the other six slung repeated artillery fire over the collapsed rocks onto the army of droids on the other side.
And the original roughly eight thousand clones had been reduced to four , and only forty of the fifty commandos lived .
A thousand clones knelt behind a hastily made second barricade of rocks and metal between the ATTE and the dropped cliffside , Picking off any droid smart enough to try and climb over the impasse .
Only three gunships had been lost and were positioned at the back of the army for conserving fuel .
And of course the star eyed Padawan and Shen were amongst the survivors at her side .
" Yes it's holding , They're shit at navigation and moving over terrain , But they'll be able to do it before too long . Not to mention we're fucked if anything with a bomb flies over " Kanya stared at the artificial rockslide , Glaring at it hatefully .
Scanning over the environment surrounding them , Kanya observed the ATTE as they unloaded apon their targets . She saw how some of the droids tried climbing over the wall rather than be stoned through the gap , only to be picked off by clones . She noted how the ground shook from artillery fire . But she caught the most important fact of all as she spied the walls of the canyon , Deep shadows etched into the towering rock faces .
" Commander ... do you know what Geonosian's do to natural formations when they find a suitable location" Kanya asked as she grinned slightly .
" No ... what do they do general" The commander asked as she pointed to a particularly large shadow .
" They dig , And they tunnel , Often right under the surface and through mountains . And that right there ... is one of hundreds of thousands of entrances to a underground tunnel system , One ... of which I'd bet , Runs right under both ours and our enemies feet "Kanya smirked as. the commander caught onto what she was getting at .
" What ideas are you cooking up " Shen asked as the commander unit called for all commando units to report in .
" Well , For starters , We're way too open , They know where we are and we have enemy forces on all sides. So instead , We're going into the tunnels , But first we need to make sure the enemy isn't already hiding in there " Kanya answered as the remaining commandos quickly arrived to stand around their position .
" General the men are ready to listen " The commander announced as he gave the floor to Kanya .
Stepping forward as she drew the attention of the Commando units , Kanya brought up a Holo disk as it displayed the canyon they were in .
" Time is short , And our enemies are working to clear the blockage as we speak , So let's get this over. First of all , Those of you that Excell best in recon will be heading in to the tunnels followed by a support unit should you be met with any surprises . You are to map out the tunnel system , Mark all entrances and come up with vital choke points . I want a passage to the surface uncovered and I want a way under our enemies " Kanya began as she pin pointed several lapses in the hologram .
" Your entrance points are here , here and here . You are to work quickly , But be careful , There is a chance that our enemy has thought of the same thing and is too going through these systems to get to us . Any questions " Kanya asked as one of the commando's stood forward .
" If I may , Why must we find a way under our enemies " The commando asked as his brothers nodded .
" Whilst you find a way under , Our demolition experts will prepare explosive charges to be placed throughout the system . We're going to blow them up from under their feet " Kanya answered the commando's question whilst another one of his brother's spoke up .
" Wouldn't that endanger the others here " The commando spoke up .
" Yes , That is why I want a way to the surface above the canyon found first , We're going to get our men to the surface whilst the bombs are planted and detonated, Then , I want our men to light up anything that gets up amongst the rubble " Kanya explained as the Holo displayed the upper level of the canyon .
" Meanwhile , While you work in mapping the tunnels , We will be stripping parts from wrecked and useless vessels and fashioning them into shield for the men to carry , If blaster bolts hit your armour , You're fucked if you couldn't already tell , But if you've got a shield , you stand a far greater chance and have a mobile defence far greater than whatever shit your armour is made out of " Kanya explained , Motioning for one of the downed LAAT which was already being stripped by a horde of clones currently cutting pieces from the hull of the ship .
" anymore questions " Kanya asked as the commando units each looked to eachother , Shrugging amongst themselves , But in the end none came forward .
" Alright , Get into your squads , And move out " Kanya ordered as the commando units dispersed to begin their work immediately.
Turning back to the map display , Kanya saw the blips which displayed the current clone locations as she fingered at her chin with her thumb and pointer finger .
" Hmm , Alright , I want our heaviest munitions that can't be carried loaded onto the LAAT ready for transport to the top of the canyons immediately . Then ... I want everyone from the ATTE not Manning a cannon Jerry rigging their systems to continuously fire on their own " Kanya ordered as the commander looked at her confused .
" If I may ask , Why would you need them to rig the ATTE systems " The commander asked as he stared at her through the T visor of his helmet .
" Well , I don't plan on leaving them behind when we move into the tunnels , We'll have one or two ATTE ready to be transports via LAAT . But I'm not valuing the machines over the lives of our men , These ATTE were already lost as soon as the idiot ordered them to be dropped off in the canyon " Kanya sent a half hearted glare at Shen who looked sheepish at her words .
" I see , Good call " The commander replied as Kanya watched the Commando units walked into the tunnel entrances littering the canyon walls .
" What will we be doing " Shen asked as he came to stand at Kanya's side , The thousands of clones below already issued their orders by their commanding units as they packed everything up ready to deploy with haste.
" Me and you , Well we'll be staying back until all the clones are in the tunnels , Then we're collapsing the entry way behind us , You'll join the commander at the surface whilst I head down to the demolition experts and commandos as they place the explosive charges , Then , After we kill the horde of droids .. we move onto our main objective " Kanya answered as Shen stared at her with a conflicted gaze .
" What's our main objective " Shen asked .
" Well , From what our intelligence reports say , The heads of the confederacy are held up on the other side of this canyon , They're planning to escape , But if we're quick enough , We should be able to cut the head from the confederacy before the war even begins " Kanya answered as the commander listened in .
The catacombs were dark and musky , Stalactites hung from the ceiling as small droplets of water fell from these hanging formations. Winding and twisting , Echoes resonated through these tunnels as the clone commando squads split up and scoured through these catacombs , Flashlights alight as they made sure to be careful for all surprises they may run in to .
" You okay forks " Lapse asked of his squad commander , Psycho at their back whilst he stood directly beside their forth member known as rupture .
" Just thinking lapse , Just thinking " Forks replied as they came up to a junction that went left and right . Looking down the right tunnel ,He saw flashlights from other commando squads , So he decided to take the left unlit tunnel that dipped slightly .
" Wouldn't happen to be about our pretty little general would it " Psycho whispered back as the other two of their squad looked at Forks whom slumped slightly at the admission from his squad mate .
" Oh my , Did someone catch your fancy capn " Lapse teased as the clone commando that lead their unit sighed , Climbing over a rock in his way before dropping down with a huff .
" It's not like that " Forks tried to reason to his squad mates .
" Uhh ahh , I saw the way you stared at her when she saved us , All love struck and like " Psycho teased as Forks coughed slightly , Tripping before catching himself and sending a glare at Psycho .
" Let's just ... let's just focus on the mission for now alright " Forks diverted , And psycho , Being reasonable for once , Allowed him to do just that as he flashed his own light back the way they came , Dropping a glowing signal beacon to mark the way they've already come .
" we're definitely continuing this when we get back " Lapse teased as they came into another junction , Another going to the left and right , The right however ascended a steep incline whilst the left only continued to the left for about ten metres before making a sharp right that opened up into a large cave .
" Whats our exact location " Forks asked lapse as Lapse brought out a display of their environment.
" According to this ... we're directly underneath the droids " Lapse announced , Forks taking out a flare and aiming it straight at the darkness infront of them .
Shooting the flare , Forks and the squad watched the flare fly unimpeded for several hundred metres before impacting a stone pillar .
" Radio in the general ... we found what we're looking for " Forks smirked as lapse brought up comms .
" General , It's just as you thought , There is a large pocket running underneath the canyon , It appears to be some sort of water reserve for the Geonosians and has an irrigation system that flows towards important points such as the arena and southwards towards the battlefield" The commander informed Kanya as the woman stared at the new map readings provided by forks squad .
" Prepare the demolition squads , We're heading down there , We've located several paths to the surface above the canyons , Order everyone to move out , Get them to the surface , Shen , When everyone is in the caves , Destroy the entrances and link up at the surface " Kanya turned away from commander and Jedi master Shen , Walking towards the demolition units with purpose , She stopped however as she felt the teen following after her and immediately turned to face him " I need you to go with master Shen for now , This is going to be a great deal more dangerous than before , Chances are high something might go wrong , I need you with Shen to protect the clones should something happen alright "
The teen looked like he wished to argue , Fists curling as worry was present on his face . Calming himself down , The teen sighed and nodded .
" Alright " The teen answered , Clearly downcast as Kanya put a hand on his shoulder .
" It'll be okay , It won't be too long now before this battle is over , Then you will be safe back on coruscant " Kanya reassured the boy before sending him back towards the waiting master Shen .
Watching the boy make his way back , Kanya turned away and made her way to the demolition units , Each of the clones were standing around , Resting or simply working on the charges they were going to use .
" General " The demolition squad leader saluted and stood tall as the other clones jumped up and did the same .
" At ease , Commander , How goes progress " Kanya asked as the rest of the units went back to work .
" General , We have completed the vast majority of our preparations and are ready to place and activate the charges " The commander explained as he motioned to a few backpacks full of explosive charges .
" I see , I want you to pack up your men and prepare to move out , We've found our point of placement , Myself alongside the squads will be going to place them , The rest of the units will be evacuating to the surface . Now , Pick up your things and be ready to depart , I'll meet you at the entrance " Kanya asked as she left the demolition unit commander to his job while walking towards the tunnel entrance they would be using .
UNDERGOUND CAVERN - HALF AN HOUR LATER
Looking through the cave system , Kanya looked over the edge towards the large body of water that dove Deep into the surface of the planet .
Rising pillars of stone rose from the depths and connected to the ceiling of the cavern , Where motes of dust and stone fell as the droids clambered around on the surface above .
Platforms with rocky surfaces , Obviously used by Geonosian's to observe the reserve the water rose from the water and stood about ten metres above the surface .
" Are you guys ready " Kanya asked as the commando units and demolition squads all nodded , Packs of explosives on their shoulders , Whilst they held their DC-15A blasters , Preparing to make use of the integrated ascension cables .
Holding a blaster of her own , Kanya aimed towards one of the nearest pillars , Pulling the trigger as everyone watched the line of cable shoot from the blaster and collide with the pillar , Sticking to its surface as it collided .
Giving It a good tug , Kanya was satisfied as she turned to the rest of the units , Motioning to be handed one of the packs which was soon tossed into her waiting arms .
" Alright , Let's get this over with " Taking a running leap , The clones watched Kanya swing her way around , The cable on the blaster receding at a blistering rate , And before long , Impacted the pillar on all fours .
" You know forks , Gotta say , Your gonna have abit of competition for her " Lapse whispered before aiming his own blaster and letting the cable fly , Their brothers doing the same , Making their way to the pillars as the prepped the charges .
Clinging to the pillar , Kanya reached into the pack on her back , Pulling one of the charges from the pack and stuck it to the cold pillar , Making sure it was firmly in place before activating the explosive charge and priming it .
Leaning back , Cable in hand , Kanya began to scale around to the other side of the pillar , Fingers gripping the solid stone under hand with a vice grip , She nearly dropped as one of the rocks came loose , She quickly caught her grip on another stone however just as the previous gave way and fell into the waters below , A soft sigh escaping the woman as she made her way to the opposite side of the pillar from the primed explosive , Placing another and priming it before looking to the next pillar to latch onto .
Reaffirming her grip , Kanya let one hand go of the pillar , Using the DC-15A blaster to take aim towards another pillar without a clone currently clinging to its sides , Aiming up at the ceiling.
" There ... we go " Firing the blaster , She watched with satisfaction as it clung to the roof exactly half way to the pillar from where she was .
Swinging across the expanse yet again , Kanya came low , A few metres from the waters before the cable caught and swung her back upwards towards her target .
Dislodging the end of the cable as she reached the apex of her swing , Kanya flew a few metres before impacting the pillar , The cable retracting into the end of the blaster with a snap .
" The last one for me to do " She spoke , Now being alone on the farthest point in the water reservoir from the entryway to the cavern .
Attaching another primed charge , Kanya wasn't expecting one of the clone commandos to land on the same pillar , And from what she could feel and see , He was one of the ones she had saved .
Squinting slightly , She watched the commando through the dark as he seemed to be psyching himself up .
" General " The commando spoke , as he scaled the pillar with her .
" Soldier , What can I do for you " Kanya spoke as she made her way to the opposite side of the pillar again to place the final charge.
" I uhh ... General , I and my squad would like to thank you in your efforts in helping us , We ... are aware you weren't part of the original group , But you stuck your neck out for us , And we're grateful for your assistance " Forks spoke as Kanya looked at him with a raised eyebrow " And uhh ... fuck it "
" Hm " Kanya ,Highly amused by the clones bumbling , Primed the final charge with a small smile playing in the side of her lips .
" The boys will most likely be celebrating after this , I ... We were wandering if you'd be joining us " Forks asked , Obviously shy and dancing around the subject he wanted to broach with her .
" It would be fun wouldn't it. But unfortunately, I won't be on that ship out , Or any of the republic ships for that matter " Kanya explained as she unclipped the braces of her backpack , Bringing it to her chest to be snug against the pillar and herself so it wouldn't fall .
" General " The commando asked , Immensely worried about her line of speaking as she fished around in the pack to produce a datapad.
" This here ... is a datapad containing plans for what you and the rest of your brothers will do once you return to the surface . It also contains as many back up plans as I could come up with should anything from an ambush occur or you be stuck underground " She then passed the datapad and shoved it into the commando's pack .
" What are ... " Forks mumbled as Kanya dropped the now useless pack into the water below , The woman's eyes staring away from the rest of the reserve towards another entryway , Dim in its light and heading further underground .
" This is where our paths split for now... Forks ... I have a special mission to undertake of the upmost importance " She turned and propped herself up against the pillar , Preparing to jump the gap towards the tunnel " Follow the plans , Keep your brothers safe and be careful from straying from what I've written . Do all that , And we may cross paths once again "
Steeling himself , Forks sighed and nodded .
" As you command general , It has been a pleasure , I will uphold your orders and follow them through to the letter " Forks answered as Kanya gave him a bright smile , The enraptured clones face heating under his mask as Kanya gave him a two finger solute before propelling herself away from the pillar , Across the water to land softly on the dark tunnel away from prying eyes .
" Until next time forks " Kanya spoke before all but disappearing into the darkness of the tunnel without any light to help her .
" Be safe " Forks sighed , Slowly making his way back around the pillar before making his way across the waters the same way they had used to cross back to the pillars , But this time using them to get back to the original entryway .
Landing on the rocks of the overlooking platform , Forks sat himself down with a sigh as his squad joined him alongside the demolitions unit which had just finished planting their charges .
" Where's the general , Did it go how you wanted " Psycho asked , His helmet removed as he wriggled his eyebrows .
" Not at all , She's uhh ... undertaking another mission and went on her own way through another passage " Forks informed the units surrounding him much to their shock .
" Oh ... I see ,Sorry man " Psycho sat down , Dejected and sighing.
" Eh it's not the end of the world ,Afterall she gave me this " Forks pulled out the datapad " This ... is what we're going to follow from here on out , We're gonna hand it to the Jedi and the commander , I've just finished going over it all , And I gotta say , She is thorough , We're gonna win this boys "
Standing back up , He made his way through the gaggle of units towards their exit " Let's go win a battle "
Coming out of one of the tunnels far away from the canyon and the rest of the battlefield , Kanya hissed , No longer sensing severance tann onworld , No doubt having used the distraction to flee to dooku .
" You can't escape me forever tann " Kanya hissed ,Her face contorting in utter rage as the fury interceptor appeared over a nearby mountain , It's ramp lowering as it flew at her .
Leaping upwards as high as she could , Kanya reached out and caught grip on the ships lowered ramp , gauntlet locking it's grip to make sure she didn't lose grip . The woman swung herself up just as explosions rocked in the distance , A small smile forming on her lips before she disappeared into the bowels of the ship as it ascended back into the atmosphere .
" It worked " Shen chuckled as he watched the ground of the canyon explode upwards , Sending droids hurling into the sky before crumbling down into the waters of the reserve below .
Stood around the Jedi were the commando units and the clone commander himself , Their ATTE facing the facility they were about to storm now that the defence of droids had been destroyed .
Fumbling the datapad in hand gifted to him from forks , Shen saw no reason to not follow it's guidelines , Motioning with his fingers for the thousands of clones to move , Of which they immediately did so .
" Do you think she'll be okay " The teen at his side asked , Drawing his attention , It was a no brainer whom they were talking about .
" I have no doubt about it , She'll be fine " Shen replied as he placed a comforting hand on the boys back .
" I hope so " The teen mumbled as they moved away from the tunnels in a solid march , Their LAAT flying over them to scout ahead with snipers .
Ultimately ,Their force would be one of the most successful units of the opening battle of Geonosis , Sustaining the least casualties compared to the other deployed units under the Jedi command thanks to Kanya's in-depth orders and guidelines provided through the datapad .
B.o.S.S OFFICE , CORUSCANT - WITH NOX
" Are you in , Skyva " Nox's voice stayed within his helmet , Muted as he walked towards the office he would be partaking in an appointment with .
" Yes my lord , I am currently syphoning through all registered data , One moment ... " Skyva replied as Nox entered the designated room , The room itself had a single exotic green plant in its corner with a desk of blue glass in it's centre , Three chairs , Two on the opposite side whilst the chair for himself was the only one on this side .
Walking to his seat , Nox sat down and placed his hands together on the desk , staring forward as he waited for the personel that would be seeing him .
" My lord , I have located the data pertaining to the hyperplane routes to Zakuul , Iokath and Nathema ... they've been buried deep and appear to be all but forgotten , What do you wish me to do " Skyva asked as Nox sighed in relief .
" Delete them , Rewrite data to make it appear that there is a strong gravitational pull that impedes any further progress in that direction like a star or ten . Then you are to subtly transmit this data to all ships connected to the system , I want there to be no feasible way for a ship to be able to stumble apon our worlds " Nox ordered , Smirking to himself as he knew Skyva would do exactly as asked immediately.
Waiting a few moments , Nox twiddled his thumbs both waiting for Skyva and the BoSS personnel , Fortunately he wouldn't have to wait long for the first .
" Done my lord , Is that all " Skyva asked .
" No , Create a back door , And write a script , My X-70 B , And any fleet vessel along side Kanya's own Interceptor are to automatically be erased from any system should they be detected and recorded including all current recordings. Make sure this script will NEVER be located " Nox answered to Skyva's query , Soon going silent as he felt two life signs coming towards his location " Shut down the camera's in this room , Make it quiet "
With the door opening with a small hiss , Nox's eyes flicked towards the cameras as he watched the lenses become unfocused and felt the power running through them stop all together .
" I apologise for taking so long ser , It took longer than I would have liked to collect the documents necessary " A blonde woman with a tied back pony tail and blue eyes smiled kindly at Nox whilst her companion ,. a brown haired middle aged man remained silent .
" Greetings " Nox's synthesised voice spoke before he blasted them with the force , Obliterating their mental defences as he made them puppets for his control " Take a seat "
