Chapter 22 Second battle of Geonosis
Its been 3 days since the people of Sera joined the Republic and its army joining the Grand Army of the Republic. This now almost made the Republic and Separatists evenly matched in troops.
Right now however the Republic had a large problem. Senator Clovis has funded the Separatists in creating new Droid factories on the Planet of Geonosis.
Sean immediately assembles a massive invasion to retake the planet once more and make sure it can never be taken back by the Separatists.
Arriving from both Hyper Space and Slip Space were 50 cruisers ready to retake the planet once and for all.
On Infinity stood General's Mundi and Kenobi with Sean in the middle.
"I cannot believe we are back here again." Obi-Wan said.
"It is unfortunate. The Resistance from the Native Geonosians was stronger than we anticipated." Mundi said.
"Thats the thing about war. You think you've won the fight but your right back where you started." Sean said looking at the planet.
"Have you been to Geonosis before?" Mundi asked.
"Hmm? No. Dooku preferred when I was working on weapons and such. The Malevolence is proof enough of what I can make." Sean said.
"True enough." Obi-Wan said before Ahsoka and Anakin walked in.
"Your both late." Sean said annoyed.
"Sorry, Sean, Ahsoka and I were busy routing Seppies near Dorin." Anakin said.
"My squadron alone had 55 kills." Ahsoka said proudly.
"Yeah, but mine had 76." Anakin said.
"Showoff." Ahsoka said.
"Are you two serious right now? Your making some competition out of this?" Sean asked raising an eyebrow.
"Hey, it's just a little friendly competition nothing to worry about." Anakin said.
"What I worry about is the way this war seems to be drawing out with the amount of allies the Separatists are now gaining. We had them out numbered by billions before the War resumed and now we're out numbered once again." Obi-Wan said.
"I've still got plenty of allies in the far outer rim in the unknown regions." Sean said.
"Then why not call them in now?" Ahsoka asked.
"Only reason I reached out to some like the Brutes and the others was because we were extremely outnumbered. They'd have to raise their numbers again." Sean said.
"I see." Anakin said.
"Now then. lets get the meeting underway." Sean said as they left for the meeting room.
Soon most of the most experienced members and highest ranking commanders were in the room along with Palpatine, Irons and Yoda in Hologram form. (Picture the room as the one the Rebels used in Return of the Jedi when they planed to take out the second Death Star)
"Ok lets go everything we know." Sean said pulling a hologram of the planet. "Based on the information Senator Amidala was able to acquire from former Senator Clovis. We now know there are at least dozens of factories on the planet." Sean said.
"So which one are we going after?" Marcus asked.
"Most of the Army will handle the other factories scattered across the planet. Our target however will be the primary Factory which is located in the palace." Sean said pulling the hologram of the palace out.
"Damn." Dom said.
"Since the Zin are here we'll have to divide and conquer." Tarkin said.
"Meaning your gonna split us up." Baird said.
"Indeed. Kruger has placed everyone here with leaders that are well suited for this task." Tarkin said before the lists came up on who was leading and who would be with said leaders. (My buddy Reaperofballance made this. If their names are in Bold their they are the leaders and those under them are those under their command)

"I like this selection." Paduk said.
"Wait how come I have to go with the old guy?" Revy asked annoyed while Mundi looked slightly offended.
"Revy I swear. I put this selection for a reason. Just deal with it." Sean said making her grumble.
"With respect but shouldn't Me and Hoffman be one of the leaders since we are at the rank of Colonel." Colonel Loomis asked.
"I thought about that but then I decided against it. People like RAAM, Skorge and Karn are easily able to adapt to many situations and their tactics are brutal. They'll need to be if we want to survive this as quickly as possible." Sean said.
"Fair enough." Loomis said.
"I understand we're trying to spread them out as best we can but doesn't having 17 commanders on the field seem a little overkill?" Ahsoka asked.
"Are you questioning your commanding officer's decision?" Loomis asked.
"Easy Loomis." Sean said. "We need to spread them out as best we can. Don't forget we're still outnumbered by a couple billion. But we have skill and power on our side." Sean said.
"Isn't it risky committing 17 generals to one area of the attack? If something were to go wrong it could deal a serious blow." Palpatine said.
"With respect sir everyone in this room is that the top of their game. We need everyone in here if we're gonna pull this off." Sean said.
"Of course. As always I will leave the strategies to you Commander." Palpatine said before ending his transmission with Irons and Yoda.
"What about Poggle? He obviously must be here since this is his home." Reznov asked.
"Who's Poggle?" Loomis asked.
"He's one of the leaders of the Separatists alliance." Sean said.
"Ah." Loomis said.
"Intel suggests he's held up at the Primary droid factory." Tarkin said.
"So why not just bomb the hell out of it from here?" Dom asked.
"One its protected by a ray shield which is impossible to destroy from the outside. Second of all Poggle knows a great deal of information. Information that could prove vital in ending this war sooner." Sean said.
"Indeed." Tarkin said.
"So all 17 commanders will land and try to meet up at the shield generator and with that amount of fire power we can destroy it and then focus on the factory." Anakin said.
"Yeah. And to make sure everyone gets their quicker...You'll all need these." Sean said pulling out a large object.
"A targeting beacon for the Hammer of dawn." Paduk said. (From Gears of war 5)
"The what?" Kenobi asked before images of satellites appeared.
"These are the Hamer of Dawn. Large lasers that rival a Nuclear warhead without the fallout. Sera used this during the Pendulum Wars that lasted for 79 years. While I'm not exactly fond of this weapon we'll need every advantage we can get since we are heavily outnumbered." Sean said.
"So one of us carries these with each group." Revy asked.
"Exactly. As long as you have that you can use the hammer on any target." Sean said.
"Their front lines are heavily fortified. Look at that giant wall with all the gun emplacements." Ahsoka said pointing at the wall. "That won't be easy to get past." Ahsoka said.
"Don't worry. None of us will be going anywhere near that." Anakin said.
"What happened to all that Enthusiasm from earlier?" Sean asked amused.
"Don't worry about us. You just get to that landing zone." Anakin said.
"Oh sure. We'll be waiting for you for a year." Sean said amused.
"Gentlemen, if you are quite finished, we have a battle to begin." Luminara said.
"True. All right get to your drop ships." Sean said.
"What about Brumaks?" Dom asked.
"We'll have to clear a path for the transports to land before sending them in." Sean said.
"And what about me?" Arana asked glaring at him.
"You? You will stay here and stay out of the way so you can't screw up this operation." Sean said walking past him only for him to grab Sean.
"Listen to me Sith!" Arana yelled before Paduk and Cole grabbed him before throwing him away.
"Sit your ass down." Cole said.
"Ignore him. He's bark and no bite. Like a whimpering dog. Only reason he's even here because of Senator Bortuni." Sean said as they walked away while he growled.
Soon everyone was in the hanger before Hammer of Dawn satellites were being sent out into the atmosphere waiting for a signal.
"Wouldn't just using Nukes work?" Ahsoka asked.
"Nukes are used as a last resort and I prefer to use them in space to avoid the after effects." Sean said before getting on his Gunship with his group.
"Good luck." Ahsoka said as the doors closed and they took off.
"This is gonna be fun." Dizzy said.
Hundreds of Gun ships flew to the planet along with air support before they started taking heavy fire.
Makarov and his team got on a Pelican before they took off.
"So your the one who trained Kruger when he was a child. He speaks highly of you." Paduk said to Makarov who chuckled.
"I'll bet. Let us hope we can get close enough to the landing site." Makarov said before one of the gun ships was shot down.
"This is gonna be fun." Douglas said loading up a rocket launcher.
"Spartans." Makarov said rolling his eyes.
Atriox and his group got on a Phantom.
"This is gonna be fun." Karasuba said looking at her blade.
"No messing around. I want this mission done as quickly as possible so we may reclaim this planet." Atriox said.
"You got no complain from me." Karasuba said.
"It's go time Baby." Cole said.
Arbiter and his team got on a Clone gun ship before taking off.
"Any Advice on the planet sir?" Hoffman asked.
"Only that you stay close to your comrades. You'll live much longer that way." Arbiter said before the ship shook violently.
Anakin and his group got on a Raven before taking off.
"This brings back memories." Anakin said.
"You've been here before?" Marcus asked.
"This is where the war started. I lost my arm here." Anakin said.
"I thought Jedi were like the Kruger's nearly invincible." John Taylor said.
"Maybe he's cocky." Jacob Hendrix said getting some laughs while Anakin's eyes twitched in annoyance.
'Sean, I'm gonna kill you for putting them on my team.' Anakin thought annoyed.
Obi-Wan got on his Pelican with his team and took off.
"You were here before right?" Dom asked.
"Indeed. Last time I was mounted to a pole and attacked by several humongous monsters." Obi-Wan said.
"Sounds entertaining." Raven said.
"It was for the Locals." Obi-wan said.
Mace got on a Phantom with his team before taking off.
"This is gonna be fun." Musubi said making Mace raise an eyebrow.
"Exactly how is war fun?" Mace asked.
"Don't listen to her. She's always craving a fight. Hell she once attacked Sean the first time they met not because of who he was but because of her lust for battle. She's almost as bad as Juri actually but enhanced." Hudson said.
"I see." Mace said.
"How does Earth have Enhanced people?" Baird asked.
"Modern science and basic accidents...You know...The Usual bullshit." Killer Frost said.
Mundi and his team got on a Raven before taking off.
"Do try to stay focused." Mundi said to Revy who frowned.
"The fuck is that supposed to mean. Was a wise crack because of Felucia?" Revy asked.
"Easy Two hands. You can go off the rail from time to time." Forge said making her grumble.
"Just follow orders kid." Loomis said.
"Whatever." Revy said.
Aayla got on a Clone Gunship with her team before taking off.
"This is gonna be fun." Black Fire said making Aayla chuckle in amusement.
"Do try to stay focused. We are trying to end a war not prolong it." Aayla said.
"You should see the amount of wars back home. It's almost like Sera and Earth are practically the very same." Sam said.
"Theres a scary thought." Jesse said making Wolffe chuckle.
David got on a Phantom with his squad before taking off.
"Sean never mentioned he had an older brother. Younger yeah but not you." Clayton Carmine said.
"He didn't know about me till 5 months ago during the NOVA six incident. I'll explain that later." David said.
"So if your another Kruger that must mean your just as powerful as him." Ben Carmine said.
"We don't measure each other by power only actions. If you want a demonstration you'll get your chance." David said.
Plo and his group entered a Pelican before taking off.
"You were here during the first battle right?" Reznov asked.
"Indeed. We lost many Jedi the last time we were here to rescue Kenobi." Plo said.
"Our first mission all over again." Sev said.
"Your commandos right?" Regina asked.
"Thats right. Delta was here the first time. No way we were gonna miss this a second time. (Boss, Sev, Scorch and Fixer are from the Stars wars Republic Commando game just incase people forgot and they did appear in the Clone wars series)
Fisto and his group got on a Raven before taking off.
"Bring back memories Sir?" Turner asked.
"Not good ones I assure you. My only hope is we recapture this planet once more." Fisto said.
"We will. This will be hard but we'll pull through." Pierson said.
Luminara and her group boarded a Phantom before taking off.
"This is gonna be fun." Giganta said cracking her knuckles.
"Do try to stay focused." Luminara said.
"Don't let her fool you. She never fails to stay on target during a missing." Sarah Hall said.
General Shepherd boarded a Pelican with his group before taking off.
"All Right you all know what to do. We take this planet back from the bugs. I do not want these things to gain an advantage over us." Shepherd said.
"Understood General." Kim Minh said.
"I'm looking forward to seeing this Hammer of Dawn in action." Heavy said laughing.
"Boys." Artemis said to Vixen who giggled.
RAAM and his group entered a Republic Gun ship before taking off.
"This is gonna be fun." Barrick said loading his lancer.
"I like these weapons." Colt said. (An Arc Trooper incase people forgot)
"Yeah. Kruger liked all the weapons back home." Barrick said.
Karn and his group got on a Pelican before taking off.
"Remind you of the old insurgents back on Earth?" Rorke asked his old buddy Elias.
"No...This is worse." Elias said.
"No shit." Rorke said.
Skorge and his group boareded a phantom before taking off.
"This is gonna be fun." Juri said cracking her neck.
"Try not to attack your own team again." Gideon said.
"That was one time!" Juri yelled.
"Bullshit." Joker said making her growl.
Each of the leaders flew to the landing site before the bugs started firing on them. Several gunships were hit.
"Keep heading to that landing site." Sean said.
"Yes sir." The Pilot said before the left side got hit and the Pilot took a shot to the face.
"AW SHIT!" Jace yelled.
"BRACE!" Woods yelled as they crashed.
Makarov successfully landed at his landing site.
"That was easy." Paduk said before they started getting attacked by the Bugs.
"You had to say something!" Price yelled before firing at them as well.
Atriox and his group were taking heavy fire before they got shot down.
"Brace for impact." Atriox said before they crashed.
"Ok that sucked." Cole said as they got out.
The Zin were quick to rush out before attacking them.
"Take cover!" Rex yelled before Karasuba rushed in and started slicing them up.
Arbiter and his group successfully landed before the Geonosians came out attacked them.
"There they are!" Hoffman yelled before the men fired on them.
Starfire flew up and started firing fire bolts at them burning the alive.
"Lets go!" Cutup yelled.
Anakin and his squad were flying to their landing site when they were hit.
"Oh boy. Brace yourselves!" Anakin yelled as they crashed.
"Aw shit." Marcus said as they got out.
"Come on! Get up we have to keep moving!" Anakin yelled as they charged out and attacked the Separatists.
Obi-Wan and his group were coming up to their landing site before they were hit.
"Grab onto something!" Dom yelled as they crashed.
Soap was the first to get out as the rest of their unite landed.
"Incoming!" Soap yelled as mortar fire came at them.
"Fire from above." Tai said before Miya charged out and slashed her enemies while Raven used her magic to force them back and to shield them.
Mace and his group landed before Enemies rushed at them with the intent to kill.
"Here they come!" Weaver yelled before Musubi picked up a large rock and threw it at them crushing them.
"Holy shit!" Baird said.
"She may be an airhead but she's reliable." Killer Frost said.
"No kidding." Ahsoka said deflecting some shots.
Mundi and his group were crash landing.
"Get the tanks on the ground now!" Mundi yelled.
"AW SHIT!" Revy yelled as they crashed.
"That was fun." Forge said getting out.
Karen took to the sky before using her heat vision on the aircraft heading for them.
"Here they come!" Bly yelled.
"Take them out!" Loomis yelled as the men fired.
Aayla and her squad landed before fending off the Bugs.
"Lets get this over with." Sam said using her lancer on one of them cutting it in half.
Blackfire flew into the air before blasting the enemy on the ground forcing them back.
David and his group were crash landing.
"BRACE!" David yelled as they crashed.
"Ok that sucked." Anthony Carmine said before they got out and came under fire from the Zin.
"Sir we have to use the hammer!" Clayton yelled before they were blasted by electricity by David.
"We're not that desperate yet. Come on. Lets get to the meeting point." David said as they moved forward.
Plo and his group landed before they were attacked by the enemy only for them to be hit by the hammer of dawn killing them with ease.
"An impressive weapon." Plo said as Reznov inspected the beacon.
"Now I see why Kruger brought this here." Reznov said carrying it as they moved forward.
Fisto and his group were about to land when they were shot down.
"I hate it when that happens." Julia said as they got out before the bugs attacked them.
"Here we go." Turner said.
"COVER AND FIRE!" Pierson yelled as they laid down fire.
Luminara and her group safley landed before getting out.
Suddenly the Zin came out and were about to Attack when Giganta grew to great size and squashed them.
"Yuck." Giganta said inspecting her feet.
"Will you knock it off. Lets go." Rogue said as they moved forward.
Shepherd and his group landed before the Bugs attacked them.
"Lieutenant! Fire that Hammer! NOW!" Shepherd yelled.
"Roger that sir." Minh said using the hammer before the lasers started killing the enemy with ease.
"Holy crap. That is a nice toy." Heavy said.
"I prefer a bow and arrow thank you." Artemis said.
"Come on lets go." Vixen said using her amulet to adapt Cheetah speed to scout out the area.
"Lets move." Shepherd said.
RAAM and his group were shot down before they crashed.
Some of the bugs approached it before RAAM grabbed on and crushed it making the other bug scream about to pull back when RAAM grabbed it and threw it down and stepped on it.
"Forward." RAAM said.
"Yes sir." Colt said as they moved forward while Diana flew to scout out ahead.
Karn and his group landed safely before they were attacked.
"Such a bore." Kazehana said before unleashing the wind to blow them away.
"Lets go." Rorke said as they moved forward.
Skorge was the last to land before some of the Zin tried to attack them only for Skorge to jump at them with a double chansaw staff and sliced them to pieces.
"Move forward." Skorge said.
"Lets go." Gideon said as they moved forward.
"To everyone who fights for the glory of the Republic...Commander Kruger has Fallen." Arana said on the comms. "I general Arana have taken my rightful place as your supreme commander." Arana said grinning.
"He cannot be serious." Ahsoka said in disbelief.
"ARANA YOU FUCKING MORON! I STILL BREATHE! A FACT YOU SHALL REGRET WHEN I CHOKE THE LIFE OUT OF YOU!" Sean roared making everyone chuckle or laugh. "Tarkin, I want reinforcements sent to every commander immediately!" Sean yelled. (Anyone who's a transformer fan knows exactly where I got this from)
"We're little stretched I'm afraid. If we divert any forces from anywhere it will mean sacrificing other areas of the campaign." Tarkin said.
"Fine! But the any available units are available you will send them to us." Sean said before using his star Saber to blast a large number of bugs. "Forward!" Sean yelled.
Mundi was being picked up by Revy as Forge approached them.
"What are our losses Sargent?" Mundi asked.
"We got hit pretty hard. All our tanks are intact. Most of us are pretty scattered right now." Forge said.
"What about Kruger or Skywalker?" Loomis asked.
"Skywalker is in the middle of a fire fight. He lost all his tanks. Kruger right now is leading his forces to the meeting point with most of his tanks intact. We'll have to meet up with everyone as we go." Forge said.
"Very well." Mundi said.
Anakin and his group fought off a large number of Bugs and Zin.
"I hear ya." Marcus said on the comms.
"Marcus! Whats the word? Can Obi-Wan send support or not?" Anakin asked slicing one of the Zin in half.
"No. Dom said they crashed on the way here just like us." Marcus said.
"Then we have to use the hammer." Anakin said.
"Hammers no good." Taylor said looking at the busted device.
"Great the one time we get to use something similar to a nuke and ours gets busted up." Anakin said as She Hulk lifted a large bolder up before throwing it at the enemy crushing them.
Galatea flew in the sky before using heat vision on the Zin.
"Lets go!" Hendricks yelled as they rushed forward.
Atriox led his group with very little difficulty as he used his mace on the Bugs.
"WHOOO!" Cole yelled rushing in.
"GO! GO! GO!" Rex yelled as they rushed forward.
"Little bugs." Atriox said pushing one of the Zin down before stepping on him spraying his guts out.
Makarov led his group forward up before they started using the Hammer on them to advance from their position.
"An impressive weapon." Makarov said.
"Based on old UIR beacons." Paduk said.
Kara flew up before grabbing one of the fighters before throwing it at the zin crushing them.
"Keep moving forward." Makarov said as they advanced from their position.
Arbiter and his men advanced from their position before fighting against the Zin.
"Forward!" Arbiter yelled as they rushed at them.
"With respect general we might need to use the hammer." Hoffman said.
"We are not on the losing end of this battle Colonel. Only if required shall we use it not before." Arbiter said stabbing one of the Zin in the chest with his energy sword. (Also from halo 5)
"Lets move!" Noble 1 said as they moved forward.
Mace and his group continued to advance.
"How close are we to the others?" Mace asked.
"We should be close to General Skywalker's position sir." Baird said.
"Lets get moving then." Hudson said as they rushed forward.
Mundi sliced apart a metal piece that was blocking the way for their tanks.
"Should brought in those Scarabs. They could clear this area in no time." Revy said.
"Too heavy for the drop ships." Forge said.
Tarkin was observing the battle from Infinity before Loomis appeared in hologram form.
"Captain Tarkin. We need air support on our positions immediately." Loomis said.
"I'm afraid thats impossible. We have no reinforcements to spare." Tarkin said.
"Our forces are getting hammered right now since we're scattered." Loomis said.
"This is full planetary invasion colonel. If we divert any support it means sacrificing other areas of this campaign. All we can do is help you locate the other commanders." Tarkin said.
"Understood." Loomis said.
"So no go on backup?" Revy asked.
"Unfortunately no." Loomis said not happy about that.
As Mundi continued to lead the troops one of the walls blew up making him and his men get in defensive position before General Plo and his group appeared.
"Master Plo." Mundi said.
"Master Mundi. It is good to see everyone alive." Plo said.
"What about the others?" Forge asked.
"Scattered I'm afraid." Plo said.
Aayla and her group were pinned down by Mortar fire from the Zin.
"Damnit! We're never gonna advance at this rate." Sam yelled before one of the walls exploded before David and his group rushed in.
"Well, isn't this just nice." David said annoyed.
"We are not gonna be able to advance like this." Aayla said.
"Use the damn Hammer." Clayton said.
"We can't we lost ours on the way down." Jesse said.
"You guys asked if I was just as strong as my brother? Your about to see an old traditional power that we're famous for." David said getting up before his body was engulfed in light.
(Insert Rise of Ghidorah from Godzilla King of the monsters soundtrack)
When the light died down a large gust of dust appeared.
"What the hell?" Ben asked before lightning appeared in this cloud of dust before a tail with quills moved past them before they looked up and saw.
"Oh shit a dragon." Korra said seeing a dragon's head before she saw another.
"Two?" Aayla asked before a third was seen as the cloud vanished and the form of a three headed dragon was seen. (KING GHIDORAH from Godzilla King of the monsters 2019)
"HOLY SHIT!" Ben yelled.
The Zin gasped in fright at this monster before David roared at them and blasted them with lightning so powerful it turned them to dust.
(End song)
"Wow. I wonder if Sean does that." Clayton said impressed.
"Oh I'm willing to bet yes on that." Rias said smiling.
Sean slashed his sword creating a wave that vaporized the Zin with ease before one of the walls blew up.
"Now what?" Sean asked before Makarov and his group appeared.
"Seems you all had some fun." Paduk said.
"I'd hardly call it that. When I get my hands on Arana for that stunt he pulled." Sean said annoyed.
"Our forces are spread all over the place." Sofia said.
"Better spread out then Meeting them all head on in one place. This way it diverts their forces." Sean said.
Luminara and her group were pinned down hard by the Zin.
"We have no choice. Use the hammer on them." Luminara said before one of the walls exploded next to the Zin crushing them from the debris.
Fisto and his group arrived out of the wall.
"Master Fisto." Luminara said approaching them.
"Good to see everyone alive and well." Fisto said.
"Any word from the others?" Anya asked.
"Best guess is some of the others are beginning to meet up with each other by now." Julia said.
Mundi and his group were about to enter a cave.
"I left a squad to protect the tanks. You sure this best place to go?" Loomis asked.
"No, I'm not colonel. All I can do is trust my instincts." Mundi said as they entered the cave.
"I hate caves." Revy said pulling out her pistols.
"I hear you. Never know whats in them." Regina said pulling out a device. "Hang on a second." Regina said making everyone stop.
"What is it?" Loomis asked.
"Wing vibration up ahead." Regina said before the bugs came at them and grabbed on the clones before pulling him up as he screamed before Revy shot them making him fall before more came out.
Plo and Mundi sliced them up.
"Don't stop! We must push on! Forward!" Mundi yelled as they moved up.
Mace and his group suddenly met up with Anakin.
"Skywalker." Mace said.
"Master Windu. Good to everyone made it." Anakin said.
"And I see you've lost all your tanks." Ahsoka said grinning making him grumble.
"We're on our way to the others." Marcus said.
"Any word from Dom or anyone?" Baird asked.
"Dom said they got shot down. I'm sure they'll be fine." Marcus said.
"Lets go." Mace said as they rushed to meet up with the others.
As they moved forward they encountered the wall with all the guns before they started firing at them.
"Take cover!" Mace yelled as they got into cover.
"Well, this is another fine mess you've gotten us into." Ahsoka said.
"What? Hey, It's not my fault! You were supposed to study the holomaps!" Anakin said.
"She did! She pointed this out before we landed!" Baird yelled.
"See!" Ahsoka yelled.
"Just get ready to climb!" Anakin said.
Atriox and his group continued to move forward with ease till a wave of power vaporized the Zin making him turn and saw Sean and Makarov's groups.
"Impressive." Atriox said.
"Most of the groups are starting to meet up." Sean said.
"I heard General Kenobi is pinned down by both the bugs and Zin. I recommend we head to them fast." Paduk said.
"Agreed." Sean said.
Arbiter and group moved forward till they came to the wall where both Anakin and Mace's groups were pinned down before rushing to them.
"Arbiter!" Mace said.
"Where is Skywalker!" Arbiter asked.
"Up there!" Marcus yelled pointing them at the wall but saw them pinned down.
"Focus fire on the wall!" Hoffman yelled.
Anakin and Ahsoka continued to destroy the droids till the last one was down.
"Look for an opening!" Anakin said before two opened up.
"Found it." Ahsoka said before a Destroyer came out and attacked them with their shields up.
As Ahsoka blocked the attacks she saw Baird coming up behind one and used his lancer on it making it blast the other which messed it up before Anakin rushed in the shield and cut it up.
A droid came out of one of the openings.
"Did you get them?" The droid asked.
"Catch!" Anakin said throwing a pack of explosives.
"WHA!" the Droid yelled before falling down.
"Lets go private." Ahsoka said lifting him in the air.
"Wha! OH SHIT!" Baird yelled as they fell down just as the wall exploded while Anakin and Ahsoka landed safely and caught Baird just as the wall crumbled down.
"Next time just tell me to jump." Baird said annoyed making Marcus chuckle.
"Now where is the fun in that?" Anakin asked before one of the walls blew up.
"Now what?" Hoffman asked before Shepherd, RAAM, Karn and Skorge came out with their groups.
"You look like hell." Shepherd said.
"Your one to talk." Anakin said.
"Any word from the others?" Mace asked.
"Yo!" David yelled with Luminara, Fisto and Aayla's groups.
"All that are missing are Kenobi, Sean, Atriox, Makarov, Plo and Mundi's groups." Mace said.
"We'll have to meet up with them...Whats that?" Ahsoka asked seeing flaming bugs coming out of a cave before Mundi and Plo's group came out.
"Master Mundi. Master Plo?" Anakin asked.
"We're here, Skywalker. We took a slight detour." Mundi said before a large explosion occurred on the other side making them look and saw Sean, Makarov and Atriox's groups.
"Everyone here?" Sean asked.
"Everyone but Obi-Wan last I heard they were heavily pinned down." Marcus said.
"Hold that thought." Sean said.
Tarkin was observing the battle before Sean's hologram appeared.
"Tarkin, we're at the breaking point. We need air support." Sean said.
"Then you are in luck. As it happens two squads are available." Tarkin said.
Obi-Wan and his group we're heavily pinned down by both the Bugs and Zin.
Obi-Wan was wounded and struggled to get up and activated his lightsaber when.
"REINFORCMENTS HAVE ARRIVED!" Soap yelled as Bombers arrived and took out the enemy making Obi-Wan sigh in relief as he sat back down just as the others rushed in.
"Master Kenobi." Ahsoka said sitting next to him.
"What happened to you?" Anakin asked amused.
"I might ask you the same question." Obi-Wan said.
Minutes Later
"Our combined forces should be more than enough to destroy the shield generator. Anakin, you'll take a small squad through the shield, as close as you can get to their gun emplacements." Obi-Wan said.
"Once thats done and out the way we can charge in with the tanks and blast that place to dust." Sean said.
"Then we can send in the rest of the troops and take them out." Loomis said.
"Lets get this over with." Shepherd said.
"Consider it done." Anakin said.
Soon the tanks were just outside the shield waiting.
"Ready to begin." Anakin said.
"Go." Sean said.
Anakin and his group rushed through the shield before Bugs and Zin started firing on them.
Skorge and his group rushed in adding in some support before they made it close enough.
"Deactivate those guns!" Anakin said as they threw stun grenades at them to disable the guns.
"Shepherd now." Sean said as the tanks moved in and fired on the base before it crumbled apart just as the others rushed in and took them out while the remaining bugs surrendered while the Zin were wiped out.
"Why didn't they surrender?" Ahsoka asked.
"It's not in their nature. They fight to the last man. They can't care about their lives." Sean said glaring at the corpse in front of him.
Soon enough the cruisers landed sending in fresh troops and supplies while gun ships took the wounded.
"So Master what was your total?" Ahsoka asked as he helped Mundi on the Raven.
"Not now, Ahsoka." Anakin said.
"Come on! Are you afraid you lost?" Ahsoka teased making Sean chuckle.
"Fine. Fifty-Five, that's my count. And you?" Anakin asked.
"Sixty. Looks like I won." Ahsoka said.
"Yeah...But it was my squad that Sean called down for an Airstrike so tie." Anakin said.
"You are impossible." Ahsoka said.
"Your just now realizing this?" Sean asked.
"I'll never understand how you can Simplify this into some kind of game." Obi-Wan said getting in the Raven.
"Well, take care of yourselves. I expect to see both of you back here by the time we destroy that foundry." Anakin said.
"We shall do our best." Obi-Wan said.
"Sixty-five, Skywalker." Mundi said.
"Huh?" Sean asked.
"My total. Sixty-Five. So what do I win?" Mundi asked making Sean laugh.
"My everlasting respect, Master Mundi." Anakin said.
"Oh." Mundi said.
"Theres a rare gift if I ever seen one." Sean said as they left.
Later
After landing fresh troops and supplies after the first assault the Grand Army of the Republic was ready to mount a deadly assault against the Droid factory where Poggle the leader of the planet.
Right now Ahsoka was giving a briefing to the troops.
"This bridge is our first waypoint. Focus your fire on the gun emplacements, here and here, because It's only..." Ahsoka tried to say.
"Because it's only after we neutralize the guns that we can push for the factory." Anakin said.
"I was...Yes, we can push for the factory. Now expect, Stiff resistance from..." Ahsoka tried to say again.
"And don't forget to top off your energy cells and ration packs. Once we leave, there'll be no resupply. Anything else, Ahsoka?" Anakin asked.
"No. I think you've covered pretty much everything...In MY briefing." Ahsoka said annoyed.
"Very well. Everyone dismissed." Anakin said as everyone left.
"You know, Master, my briefings might go better if you stopped interrupting me every time I..." Ahsoka tried to say.
"I wasn't interrupting. I was trying to help you." Anakin said.
"Which I would appreciate, if you didn't interrupt me to do it." Ahsoka said annoyed.
Sean was talking to David before Luminara and Barriss landed next to them.
"Well, if it isn't the Dragon brothers." Barriss said.
"HAHAHA." Sean said amused.
"She's referring to your brother's rather...Unique transformation." Luminara said.
"What?...Oh that." David said laughing.
"The Carmine brothers brought that up a while ago. You freaked the hell out of them turning into a dragon." Sean said.
"I thought you told them." David said.
"Of course I didn't tell them. They would never believe me." Sean said.
"So is it just the one form or can you two turn into others?" Luminara asked.
"Two. That was his most powerful form. I can turn into something just as powerful if not more." Sean said.
"Well? What is it?" Barriss asked interested.
"Later. Right now Anakin and Ahsoka are waiting for us." Sean said as they walked to them seeing them in an argument.
"Oh are they at it again?" Barriss asked.
"This has happened before?" David asked.
"On several occasions." Sean said. "If you two are done wasting time we got real problems." Sean said stopping their argument as a hologram of the palace appeared.
"A frontal assault is risky. Our losses will be high." Luminara said.
"Not as high as they'll be if that factory comes online." Anakin said.
"Indeed, but there is an alternative." Luminara said showing tunnels on the hologram under the palace. "Every Geonosian building has a series of catacombs beneath it." Luminara said.
"Just like the Locust on Sera." Sean said.
"Some of the tunnels are close enough to this cliff wall so that you could cut a hole and make an entry point." Barriss said.
"Once inside, we could find the main reactor, plant the explosives and blow the factory inside out." Luminara said.
"A sound plan." Sean said.
"Looks like a good way to get lost, if you ask me." Anakin said.
"For the unprepared, perhaps. But I have instructed Barriss to memorize the labyrinth, all 200 junctions." Luminara said.
"You always are thorough." Sean said making her smile.
"Pays one to be prepared." Luminara said.
"How do we keep the Geonosians occupied while someone else is setting the bombs?" Ahsoka asked
"Simple. We create a diversion by mounting an assault up the front." Sean said.
"Precisely. That task will be carried out by the main commanders from when we landed here to take out the shield. The Padawans will take out the factory from inside." Luminara said.
"Now, hold on. Who decided that?" Anakin said.
"I did." Sean said.
"Relax. If we do our jobs correctly everything will go smoothly. I thought you had faith in your apprentice." David said.
"I do. But those Tunnels run for miles." Anakin said.
"Enough." Sean said. "The plan is set and we don't have time to argue about it. Both of you get moving. We'll provide you with the distraction." Sean said.
"Understood." Barriss said as the two ran off.
"Relax. They'll be fine." Sean said to Anakin who nods. "Now then. Since Mundi and Kenobi are resting up Hoffman and Loomis will take their place as commanding officers on this assault." Sean said.
"So how do you want to do this?" Anakin asked.
"Parade style. While not exactly preferred as a tactic it will draw them out." Sean said.
"Regretfully its our best option." David said.
"I suppose it is." Luminara said.
Meanwhile inside the factory
Poggle was looking over the productions of his new factory when a tactical droid approached him.
"The factory is operating at 50% production capacity. We have 10 garrisons of new droids ready to deploy." The tactical droid said before Poggle started clicking in his native tongue. "No the Super Tanks are not yet Ready. But when they are the Republic's forces will be crushed."
Outside
Sean, Atriox and the Arbiter lead the troops.
"Do we still have the Hammer of Dawn?" Atriox asked.
"Of course. But try not to use it unless absolutely needed. We don't need any stray shots destroying the factory with Ahsoka and Barriss inside.
"Indeed." Arbiter said before the Palace opened up with a large number of battle droids coming out.
Under the bridge both Ahsoka and Barriss were climbing down as the saw the droids walking across the bridge.
"That looks like a lot of droids." Anakin said.
"It is a droid factory." David said.
"As long as we can destroy them faster then they can make them, we'll come out on top." Anakin said making Luminara snort in amusement.
"I love your simple logic, Skywalker." Luminara said as Sean pulled out his star saber.
"Here we go!" Sean said as the battle commenced with him swinging his blade creating a wave of energy that destroyed a large number of droids.
Above them a large number of Bugs flew out before blasting them.
"Up there!" Dom yelled before the troops started firing at the bugs.
Ahsoka and Barriss rushed to the other side before they came to the wall and Barriss cut a large section open.
"Lets go." Barriss said as they rushed in.
As they made their way inside they came to a large nest of them sleeping.
"We have to find another way." Ahsoka said.
"We don't have time. This direction is the fastest." Barriss said before they slowly moved forward to make sure they didn't wake them.
As Ahsoka got out first one of their hands fell on Barriss making her widen her eyes.
"Ahsoka." Barriss whispered making her turn and walked to her before pulling the arm off slowly to make sure it didn't wake up before they continued on their way. However the Bug's eyes opened up.
Outside
The bugs that were flying were picking off the troops before Skorge jumped up and sliced them to pieces with his weapon.
"Slaughter." RAAM said before his troops fired Mortars at the Droids blowing them up.
"Bring in the Brumaks!" Sean yelled before two moved up the front and roared before firing some rockets at the droids.
"Holy shit! I can see why you brought these guys." Bowman said.
"The Padawans should have entered the catacombs by now." Luminara said deflecting blaster fire.
"I hope they aren't lost down there." Anakin said.
Back in the tunnels
Ahsoka and Barriss continued to move through the tunnels.
"This way." Barriss said as they jumped up not seeing the bug from before following them.
Poggle was not pleased by what he was seeing before glaring at the Tactical droid and started clicking.
"We have 20 new Super Tanks ready for deployment. I shall send them at once."
Outside
Sean sent another wave at the droids crushing them with ease.
"Man you gotta love that sword." Clayton said before the doors opened again.
Coming out were new tanks that have never been seen before.
"Please tell me thats not one of yours?" Anakin asked.
"Nope. But they wouldn't be sending them like that so suddenly unless they were confident they could get the job done." Sean said before Loomis ordered a hammer strike on those tanks and while it did hit them nothing happened.
"What the? Nothing could survive that." Marcus said.
"Damn things must be ray shielded." Sean said as they started firing on them. "TAKE COVER!" Sean yelled as they fired on their position taking out the tanks. "Loomis! Tell the men to pull back." Sean said.
"You can't seriously expect the men to just up and run?" Loomis asked.
"I'm not asking for a retreat. I want to draw them out." Sean said pulling out a device.
"I see what you have in mind." Luminara said.
Inside the factory
Barriss and Ahsoka got to the generator that was powering the factory.
"Lets get this done." Ahsoka said.
As they were doing this The Bug from before rushed to Poggle and started making clicking sounds.
"Two Jedi are in the control room? That is impossible. How could they have gotten past security?" The Tactical droid asked.
Ahsoka and Barriss planted all the bombs.
"Lets go." Barriss said before the doors opened up and Poggle and his new tank came in.
"You are not going anywhere. Collect the bombs and kill the Jedi." The droid said while Poggle left to escape.
Outside
Sean and Luminara were planting the devices on the bridge at the bottom as they made their way to the end before climbing up.
"Have a nice fall." Sean said pressing a button to blow the bridge sending the tanks to the bottom.
"Nice work." Anakin said on the comms.
"Where are those two? They should have set the bombs by now." Sean said as more droids came out.
Inside
The bugs managed to take the bombs while Ahsoka and Barriss got inside the tank.
"What do we do now?" Ahsoka asked.
"I don't know. Without the bombs we can't blow the factory." Barriss said.
"Well...We could use this tank. It will destroy the factory...And us." Ahsoka said.
"Then thats our only option." Barriss said.
"Sean?" Ahsoka said on the comms.
"Where are you two! We're pinned down out here." Sean said slashing a few droids.
"We can't make it out." Ahsoka said.
"Wait what? Ahsoka, wait!" Sean yelled before she fired the main weapon at the generator making it explode.
This in turned destroyed the whole palace making it fall all over the place and crushed the droids.
When the dust settled all that remained was debris and scrap metal.
"Oh dear." Luminara said before Sean slammed his foot on the ground before using the force to lift up everything. "Sean, wait. That kind of strain."
"I can handle it." Sean said before the whole place was floating before Ahsoka and Barriss climbed out and Sean pushed the debris away.
"Wow. And I thought Master Skywalker was determined." Ahsoka said making him grin as he took off his helmet.
"Like I was actually going to let you two die like that." Sean said making them smile.
"What about Poggle?" Barriss asked as Arana walked to them having been on the other side of the palace.
"We lost Poggle. He clearly gave us the slip." Arana said making Sean frown.
"I can't even Rely on you to catch a simple insect!" Sean yelled kicking him down before stomping on his shoulder making him grunt.
"ONE INSECT! Among billions!" Arana yelled.
"SHUT UP!" Sean yelled kicking him in the stomach making him cough.
"He could be anywhere." Arana said.
"Then we will find him. Hudson! Gather your squad...Search the entire planet. We need that intel." Sean said.
"Got it kid." Hudson said rushing off.
Later
Ahsoka and Barriss headed to infinity to rest up after their mission. Dozens of cruisers were landing to drop off supplies and troops.
Sean right now was observing the area with a frown just as Luminara approached him.
"A costly victory." Luminara said.
"Victory cannot be achieved without sacrifice. The number one rule of war. Still casualties were lower than expected thanks to the hammer of Dawn being used." Sean said.
"Still no sign of Poggle?" Luminara asked.
"No. He's here though. Planetary defense is keeping a close eye on any ships leaving the system." Sean said.
"I'll go out and find some clue as to where he went." Luminara said getting to her speeder.
"Thats not..." Sean tried to say.
"Like you said the information Poggle carries could end this war sooner." Luminara said getting on her speeder.
"All right if you say so." Sean said.
"Just make sure to leave a bit of strategic planning for me when I come back. I'd hate to be left out." Luminara teased making him grin.
"Understood." Sean said as she left before he headed for the nearest cruiser.
Arriving on one of the Clone cruisers he found Mundi fully healed.
"Well...Looks who's back." Sean said.
"After enough time in a bacta Tank, One longs for the mundane comfort of star charts." Mundi said.
"I'll take a nice cold drink as a way to relax." Sean said.
However suddenly a hologram of Marcus and Dom appeared.
"Hey kid. I think we found something." Marcus said.
"What is it?" Sean asked.
"We're not really sure. Its some kind of cylinder device. This thing is really advanced and pretty big. Has silver Metal...Blue lines." Dom said making him frown.
"Dom...Is there a red jewel at the top?" Sean asked.
"Yeah...How did you know?" Dom asked.
"Thats a data cylinder. It contains complete information on any particular subject. It's from one my allies that I met shortly before you. In fact those energy crystals you guys use now are because of them." Sean said.
"Oh yeah? What kind of intel is in this thing?" Marcus asked.
"Don't know. Like Sera and Earth this planet has a long history of war but only one to be exact. When I arrived I was able to get both sides to talk things out peacefully. During the war hundreds of these cylinders were spread out all over the galaxy to keep them out of enemy hands. From what they've told me over the last 3 years they've managed to locate all but this one." Sean said.
"So lets find out whats inside." Marcus said.
"Don't touch it. It has a fail safe. Meant to keep anyone not from their planet from accessing the devices. My biometrics are programed to access it only. I'll send some of my Security droids to pick it up." Sean said.
"Roger that." Marcus said as their transmission ended.
"Are we allowed to access its contents? It could help in the war effort." Mundi said.
"I don't think they'll mind." Sean said before a hologram of Luminara appeared. "Found something?" Sean asked.
"We found a munitions container of some kind." Luminara said.
"It could just be left over debris." Mundi said.
"No. Theres not been any battle in that area." Sean said.
"I think Poggle is heading to the Progate temple." Luminara said.
"Now that makes no sense whatsoever. That place was leveled beyond requirement. Why the hell would he go there?" Sean asked.
"Perhaps he doesn't realize the extent of which we cleared that area." Luminara said.
"Ok follow him but be careful. Theres a sandstorm heading towards you." Sean said.
Later
"Wow." Anakin said looking at the Data cylinder.
"Our first impression exactly." Marcus said.
"What do you think is inside this thing? blueprints for weapons? Strategies? Or perhaps how to mold Matter into any object we need?" Loomis asked.
"Is your thought always on warfare?" Sean asked making him shrug.
"Or it could just be nothing of use to us." Paduk said.
"Only one way to find out. Once we capture Poggle were heading straight back to base to interrogate him...Paduk you'll be in charge of that since most Jedi don't exactly have the spine for what I have in mind." Sean said making him smirk.
"My pleasure." Paduk said before Sean left to head to the command center.
Entering he saw Luminara talking with Mundi and Kenobi.
"Whats going on?" Sean asked.
"I'm afraid we've lost Poggle. He's somewhere in the..." Luminara tried to say before her clone trooper started screaming her grab her lightsaber before her connection stopped.
"Hmm." Sean said not liking this.
Later
Five gun ships flew to the temple before landing and dropped off some troops.
"Search the area." Sean said getting the men to do that before they went inside.
Looking around Sean spotted Luminara's lightsaber before picking it up.
"I don't like this." Sean said before he spotted the clone Luminara had dead.
"I highly doubt that Bug did this...But maybe that did." Baird said pointing to a statue of a larger bug.
"That is one ugly bug." Cody said.
"I've never seen one like that before." Anakin said.
"It could be the queen." Sean said.
"The Bugs have a queen?" Anakin asked.
"Well, to be fair they are basically a colony and all colonies have queens." Sean said.
"True and there have been rumors before. But no one has proven her existence yet." Obi-Wan said.
"Until now." Sean said as they went into a tunnel.
"Oh great more caves." Clayton said as they moved in.
As Sean moved up he looked around before his comlink activated and the hologram of Luminara appeared.
"Sean, if your following me, you must leave this place. Just get out!" Luminara yelled before she was attacked.
Sean was the first to rush forward to her last location.
However as he and the others arrived they came to a strange sight.
Geonosians that looked more dead than alive wobbling towards them.
"What the hell?" Baird said as they charged right at them before the men fired at them but nothing stopped them.
Sean was slicing some in half before he saw a couple clones being dragged away before rushing to them but they were gone.
"Fall back!" Sean yelled before slashing his sword creating a wave of energy that took out the supports burying them as the men rushed away.
"What the hell was that? Since when can they shrug off bullets?" Clayton asked.
"I've heard stories of a geonisian hive mind so powerful, so strong, that it can maintain its connection with its warriors even after they have died." Obi-Wan said.
"Hmm. We have something similar back on Earth called Zombie ants but not like that. On Earth its a fungus that can make dead ants move." (I recall a youtube video mentioning this a couple years ago)
"So thats why they didn't go down because these guys are already dead." Baird said.
"Not the strangest thing I've encountered in the last 4 years." Sean said.
"So whats the plan?" Clayton asked.
"We keep moving and try to locate Luminara and capture Poggle and get the fuck out of here." Sean said.
"Why not just split up?" Cody asked.
"We don't have time and they'll just pick us off." Sean said.
The group continued to move through the tunnels till they came to the sight of the Queen.
"Oh boy." Sean said.
"Ever seen anything like that?" Woods asked.
"Yup." Sean said. (I'm sure some of you can guess what he's referring to since its pretty obvious for some)
"So thats the queen? Man she's ugly." Clayton said.
"I've seen worse that look identical to her." Sean said.
"Any sign of Luminara?" Anakin asked.
"I see her. She's suspended near the throne." Baird said.
"Perfect. What about Poggle?" Anakin asked.
"He's speaking with the Queen." Cody said.
"Good. You take the soldiers, I'll take the queen." Anakin said.
"Do you have to rush into danger every time?" Sean asked.
"Oh come on. You don't actually want to talk to it do you?" Anakin asked.
"Isn't negotiation the Jedi way? Besides she wouldn't keep Luminara alive unless she had good reason." Sean said making him sigh.
"Fine we'll try it your way." Anakin said.
"Like you actually have a choice mister who lost an arm on the first day of war." Sean said walking to the queen completely seeing Anakin's twitching eye.
'One of these days I'm going to kill you.' Anakin thought annoyed.
As Sean, Obi-Wan and Anakin walked to the queen the troops got into position ready to strike.
"How did you know they wouldn't just attack us?" Anakin asked.
"Honest I just guessed. We don't attack so they might not either. Simple as that." Sean said.
"Very true. And we think on our feet while you think with your lightsaber." Obi-Wan said.
"Well, that quick thinking of mine is usually needed when your observations get us into trouble." Anakin said.
"True enough. But lets see where this goes and worry about who's right later." Sean said.
"I thought I told you not to follow me." Luminara said.
"Oh like I'm actually going to leave a beautiful woman behind." Sean said making her blush before he widened his eyes. "I said that out loud didn't I?" Sean asked.
"Yup." Anakin said grinning.
"FUCK!" Sean said annoyed.
"You are the creatures that attacked Geonosia. Why have you come before me?" The Queen asked.
"Your majesty, it is a pleasure to finally meet you. I am Obi-Wan Kenobi, and these are Anakin Skywalker and Sean Ashburn Kruger. It is our sad duty to inform you that your rule is at an end." Obi-Wan said.
"You not dictate to me, Jedi! My empire is forever!" The Queen said.
"I'm afraid it does not appear that way, your Grace. You shall release the Jedi Luminara and submit to Republic Law." Obi-Wan said making her roar.
"Uh oh." Sean said concerned.
"I no submit to you!" The Queen said as her troops aimed their weapons at him only for Sean to snarl at them making them back off.
"Majesty, destroying us shall only make the Republic's judgment of you harsher." Obi-Wan said.
"No, Jedi. No! I no destroy you, I devour you! I control you. I had but one Jedi before young Poggle bring me, but now I have four." The Queen said before Poggle approached Luminara with some egg with a worm inside.
"Its a sort of mind control." Obi-Wan said.
"Way to state the obvious." Sean said.
"I want to see how it works." Obi-Wan said.
"I don't think Luminara wants to see." Sean said.
"No, I don't!" Luminara said in alarm.
"I'm curious. The More we know, the better." Obi-Wan said as Poggle approached her.
"I Disagree!" Luminara said concerned.
"So do I." Anakin said.
Sean quickly slashed his sword creating a blinding light making the queen screech before Sean freed Luminara before Cuffing Poggle.
"MOVE!" Sean yelled before he saw the worm in Obi-Wan's hands and sliced it.
"What are you doing? I was gonna study that." Obi-Wan said.
"Theres a time and place for that! MOVE!" Sean yelled.
Soon they came a hole going up to the temple before they started climbing.
While this was going on the Queen roared as her lair came down on her crushing her.
The dust from the collapse pushed the group up.
"AH SHIT!" Woods yelled as they landed on the ground.
"Lets go!" Sean yelled as they rushed out of the temple as it came down.
"I wish we could have gotten one of those worms. Knowing how the queen controls her minions could have proven valuable." Obi-Wan said.
"Well, now its buried with her and we got a real prize." Sean said glaring at Poggle.
Later
Now that the Republic had once more taken control of the planet the Senate could rest easy knowing the Separatists could no longer make more battle droids on the planet.
Currently Two Onyx Guard Gears were escorting Poggle into a drop ship who was making angry clicking sounds.
"Shut up." One of the Gears said hitting him with his lancer to shut him up.
"What kind of gears are they?" Revy asked.
"Onyx Guard. Considered to be some of the best and elite of the COG both old and new. Chairman Presscot agreed with me the COG needed to change for the better. I brought the UIR and the COG together back on Sera. Their both kinda like the US and Russia after World war 2." Sean said.
"Now theres a scary thought." Revy said making him chuckle before Mundi walked to them.
"I'm afraid theres a complication." Mundi said.
"When is there not?" Jace asked.
"I've just received a distress signal from our forces on Dantooine. Spartan Locke and his forces held, but at a great cost of his men due to the Zin using heavy weapons. They need medical supplies. We can obtain these supplies at the medical station near Ord Cestus." Mundi said.
"We're supposed to be delivering Poggle back at base and Cestus is not exactly along the way." Sean said.
"The Republic must begin debriefing Poggle right away if we are to gain useful intelligence from him." Luminara said.
"Simple solution. Mango and Lime girl will go and get them." Revy said pushing Ahsoka and Barriss forward with the former growling.
"Will you stop calling me by my skin color! It's getting annoying!" Ahsoka yelled making Sean laugh.
"Lime?" Barriss asked looking at her skin making him laugh harder and fell down.
"Oh that is brilliant." Sean said standing up. "In all seriousness I agree with her." Sean said.
"Fine. I got no problem with that." Ahsoka said.
"Nor do I." Barriss said.
"All right then." Sean said.
"Why do you keep referring to them as fruits?" Anakin asked making her grin.
"Oh thats just something she picked up from Woods to piss people off." Sean said.
Not to far away was a group of troops sleeping around.
However behind one of the rocks was an egg for the worms the Queen used before it hatched and made its way into one of the clones by the nose. (Yuck! That was disgusting)
Suddenly a Sargent walked to them before firing his blaster waking them up.
"Sorry, boys. Hope I didn't interrupt any pleasant dreams." The Sargent said.
"Got a mission sir?" One of the clones asked.
"You bet. We're making a medical supply run to Ord Cestus." The Sargent said making Travis scoff.
"I'll bet this is Kruger's idea just to piss me off." Travis said. (To my most Loyal Guest no Travis is not Sean's uncle like Rider of the League. This one is one of the men who hate Sean because of what Abigor did)
"You better follow orders Private." The Sargent said making him growl before walking to the ship along with most of the clones before the one infected with the worm woke up and stood up rather flexibly.
Later
The Medical Frigate took off before flying to the medical station while Sean on Infinity headed back to base.
"So hows the interrogation going?" Sean asked.
"Slow. He's not budging." Loomis said.
"These Jedi are soft." Paduk said.
"Some are still changing seeing they will need to be brutal to their enemies if they want to see victory only when it is required like now." Sean said.
Meanwhile
Ahsoka and Barriss were in the mess hall.
"I was just thinking about what you said earlier, about enjoying the peace while it lasts. As a Jedi, I'm not I know how to do that." Ahsoka said.
"Master Windu, said we are keepers of the peace not soldiers." Barriss said.
"But Sean is changing the orders to the way his clan was before Abigor took over. So what do you think will really happen when this war is over?" Ahsoka asked.
"Honestly I don't know. But I'm confident it will all be for the better." Barriss said before two clones walked in.
"Need something troopers?" Ahsoka asked before they started blasting them making them flip the table to hold back the blaster fire. "Troopers! Stand down!" Ahsoka yelled before using the force to push them into a wall knocking them out.
Travis and another clone rushed in before they aimed their lightsabers at them.
"Whoa! Whats the big idea?" Travis asked confused.
"Two clones just attacked us. What is going on?" Ahsoka asked.
"Easy now. We just came in when the shots were fired. We're in the dark just as much as you." Travis said.
"Like I'm actually going to take the word on a man who attacked Sean when he was a kid." Ahsoka said glaring at him.
"Look no guns." Travis said as he and the clone threw their guns down. This in turn made Ahsoka and Barriss turn off their lightsabers.
"These men wouldn't just attack us without reason." Barriss said.
"My master had a clone betray them once, a traitor who was paid off by Ventress." Ahsoka said.
"It can't be that simple. At least, it didn't feel like that." Barriss said.
"If I may suggest? We should make sure that we're still in control of the bridge." Travis said.
"What about these two?" Ahsoka asked.
"I'll look after them." The clone said before they rushed off.
Meanwhile
Sean was on the bridge just as Hoffman and Luminara approached him.
"The Cargo ship failed to check in on schedule." Luminara said.
"Did you attempt to contact them?" Sean asked.
"Yup. No one answered." Hoffman said.
"Hmm. Rather odd but it has happened before." Sean said.
"It is certainly unlike either Padawan to lose contact." Luminara said.
"What about Magnetic fields? Wouldn't those block communications?" Baird asked.
"There are a few. But I don't recall one being anywhere where they're going." Sean said.
"We'll have to discuss this later. We still need to get the bug to talk." Hoffman said as they left while Sean frowned.
"Baird." Sean said gaining his attention. "The second they contact you let me know." Sean said.
"Yeah I got it." Baird said.
Meanwhile
Ahsoka, Barriss and Travis were making their way to the bridge when security shields got in the way.
"Someone doesn't want us going up there." Ahsoka said.
"I'll attempt to override the controls." Barriss said before she heard a clicking sound and used her lightsaber to slash Travis's gun before he charged at her with a worm coming out of his mouth.
"He's infected!" Barriss yelled before stabbing him making him fall down before she cut the worm in half.
"Ugh. What is that?" Ahsoka asked disgusted.
"It looks like some kind of Parasite. It must be controlling him and the troops." Barriss said.
"Mind control? Well, that explains it. Travis was an asshole but even he knew better then to attack us. And the clones would never do the same." Ahsoka said. "How did they get infected in the first place?"
"I think one of the clones must have been infected and brought it on board." Barriss said before they heard clicking making them rush to the cargo hold seeing the clones holding another clone while a worm was transferred to him.
"Ok thats disgusting." Ahsoka said before more clones came from behind them and tried to blast them but they deflected the shots before making their way to the vents before crawling away.
"I'll go to the reactor room and disable the thrusters. You head for the Aft Comm Center and send a warning to the medical station." Barriss said.
"I don't know, Barriss. I think we should stay together." Ahsoka said.
"As do I. Unfortunately, that's not a luxury we have right now. One of us must succeed, Ahsoka." Barriss said.
"Ok...I'll see you after." Ahsoka said.
Ahsoka managed to reach the medical station before Viktor Reznov appeared.
"Viktor? I thought you were training the clones?" Ahsoka said.
"I decided for a change of scenery. Now what seems to be the problem?" Viktor asked.
"The troops are infected with some parasite. As long as these things are on board, we can't dock with the medical station." Ahsoka said.
"You must bring the ship in. The only way to stop these Parasites is to closely analyze them." Viktor said.
"You don't understand how terrible these things are. What if they get loose?" Ahsoka asked.
"We shall take precautions." Viktor said.
"I have a bad feeling about this, Captain." Ahsoka said.
Barriss was getting out of the vents and went through a hallway before she was electrocuted and dropped her lightsaber before a clone grabbed it.
"If theres one thing we clones know, it's how to stop a Jedi." A clone said before one carrying a worm egg approached Barriss making her widen her eyes.
"NOOO!"
Meanwhile
"Kruger! Ahsoka is on the screen." Baird said before he approached the screen.
"Ahsoka, whats going on?" Sean asked.
"The ship is infected with a parasite from Geonosis. Captain Reznov told us to dock with the medical station." Ahsoka said.
"He's right to say so. Poggle must know how to stop this thing. Keep your wrest comm active. I'll get back to you." Sean said before ending his feed.
Ahsoka turned and saw Barriss on the other end of some glass.
"Barriss, you're back. Were you successful?" Ahsoka asked but saw the look in her eyes and widened her before Barriss used the force to launch the glass at Ahsoka who used the force to block it. "I'm your friend! Barriss, snape out of it!" Ahsoka yelled before she charged at her and tried to slash her but she dodged before bolting.
Meanwhile
Sean walked to the cell room where two Onyx gears stood guard over Poggle who had a translator droid with him.
"Leave us." Sean said getting them to leave as he entered the cell. "You will answer my questions." Sean said only to get clicks as a reply.
"Your feeble Jedi mind tricks do not work on Geonosians. The other Jedi have already learned this." The Droid said making Sean turn away.
"Mind tricks?" Sean asked while Poggle had a smug grin on his face before Sean turned and grabbed his hand before snapping it making him yell in pain before Sean punched him into the wall. "Do I look like I need mind tricks to get you to talk." Sean asked before he started clicking again.
"I will never talk traitor." Poggle said before Sean grabbed him by the throat and started choking him.
"You sure about that?" Sean asked with sickly yellow slitted eyed while snarling at him.
Meanwhile
Ahsoka was running from Barriss before she caught up to her and both started fighting with their lightsabers.
Ahsoka kicked out her legs before kicking her away and bolted before getting into the vents.
Meanwhile
Sean rushed to the bridge.
"I made contact with Ahsoka." Sean said to the others.
"Whats their status?" Obi-Wan asked.
"Those Parasites have infected the crew." Sean said.
"How the hell did they get on the frigate?" Hoffman asked.
"Poggle said the parasites must have needed a new host after we killed the queen." Sean said.
"You interrogated Poggle?" Luminara asked.
"Well, duh. I didn't have time to get everyone." Sean said.
"How did you get him to talk?" Mundi asked.
"How do you think? I tortured him. That doesn't matter. All that matters is he told me how to stop the worms." Sean said.
Meanwhile
Ahsoka was up in the vents as the clones walked away.
"Ahsoka. Listen to me. The bugs are affected by the cold." Sean said.
"Cold? Thats it? I guess I should have figured." Ahsoka said. (I'm surprised no one thought of that since hello they are bugs and bugs hate the cold)
Ahsoka made her way to the cooling system before she ruptured making a cold mist engulf the inside of the ship.
The clones saw this and frowned.
Suddenly the ship came out of hyperspace.
"Thats the frigate. Send out the tugs to help guide them in." Viktor said to a clone who nods before sending them out. "Alert all hazard crew that I don't want anyone on or off that ship until these parasites are contained." Viktor said.
Ahsoka made her way to the bridge before she stopped before holding her arms feeling the freezing effect on herself.
"There you are." Barriss said charging at her before Ahsoka went into the vents making her frown.
Arriving at the Bridge she tried to slow the ship down but Barriss came in and slashed the controls before some of the cables came down spraying her with cold making her shriek before the worm came out of her mouth before Ahsoka took a slash.
The ship slowly docked with the station before it stopped.
"Be on guard. The Parasite could still be alive." Viktor said.
Arriving at the bridge Viktor and two Elites found a worm cut in half while Ahsoka held Barriss close before he touched her head making her open her eyes.
"Hello, Captain. We're here to pick up the supplies." Ahsoka shivered out making him chuckle.
"We will take care of that." Viktor said.
Later
Ahsoka slowly opened her eyes seeing Sean and Revy in the room before she gasped.
"Easy Ahsoka. Your fine." Sean said.
"Barriss?" Ahsoka asked.
"She's fine. Out of it completely but fine." Revy said looking at her as she slept.
"What were those things?" Ahsoka asked.
"I believe I can answer that." Viktor said walking in.
"We had the worms analyzed. They are the same creatures you found on Geonosis." Viktor said.
"We'll have to inform the troops. This explains how they retook the planet the first time. I don't want it happening again." Sean said.
3 days later
"Well, look who's back." Sean said seeing Ahsoka and Barriss. Currently they were in the Lab with the Data Cylinder attached to cables.
"I could never stand staying in bed like that." Ahsoka said.
"I know the feeling." Sean said.
"Ok lets get this over with." Baird said before the cables started sparking.
"Data is downloading." Sean said looking at the data.
"Please tell me this is something useful we can use." Loomis said.
"In the war effort maybe. I don't want to falsely get anyone's hopes up...But this appears to be the synthetic form of the Energy crystals you've been using." Sean said.
"Wait a minute. So we won't have to dig for these crystals anymore then?" Dom asked.
"Basically. I just need to finish downloading this..." Sean tried to say.
"SITH!" Arana yelled making him sigh.
"Oh for the love of..." Sean tried to say as Arana walked in looking royally pissed off.
"Whats this I hear about you limiting my command authority? You have no right!" Arana roared.
"Actually I do. The Jedi council agreed with me that your command style was questionable especially after your little stunt to take my position from me after I crashed." Sean said.
"You will give me my command level back. I earned my position as a general!" Arana yelled.
"Piss off. I got more important things to do." Sean said looking at the Data that was still transferring making him roar before pulling out his lightsaber.
"This thing is more important to you!" Arana yelled making him face him.
"DON'T! Sean yelled before he slashed the cylinder making it start to shake before firing a laser into the ceiling which destroyed it.
"GET DOWN!" Paduk yelled as everyone hit the deck before it stopped.
Sean looked in shock before looking at the data showing it had saved 95% of it.
"Now do I have your attention?" Arana asked.
"Do you have any idea what you have done! You may have just screwed over the entire Republic!" Sean yelled.
"Thats your fault not mine. Now I demand you..." Arana tried to say before Sean threw his blade at him and cut off his left arm. "AHHHHH!" Arana yelled.
"YOU MORON! YOU MAY HAVE JUST DOOMED AN ENTIRE PLANET!" Sean yelled.
"Wait what does that mean?" Loomis asked making him widen his eyes at his outburst before sighing.
"This ally of mine I neglected to mention something. Their planet is dead because of their war." Sean said making many widen or narrow their eyes. "This synthetic energy is called Energon its their life blood. This stuff could possible help revitalize their planet." Sean said.
"You knew what this was didn't you?" Baird asked.
"No. Every Cylinder is different and even they didn't know what was on them since these are from a golden age when life was perfect for all of them. When I arrived the planet was already dead. I tried to help. That cylinder may have been they're only hope." Sean said making everyone glare at Arana who was being treated by a medical droid.
Later
"I've contacted them and they were less then happy. They are on their way here." Sean said.
"What now?" Anakin asked.
"The formula is complex so I need their help to finish it. They should be here in week or so." Sean said.
"And what of Arana?" Mace asked.
"He will face judgment for his actions. And my advice. Don't interfere with that." Sean said.
