Arc and what was left of his legion were preparing for the assault to the factory. Every trooper was willing to accept the end of that's what was in order to win. They had at formed a planed and were hoping it would work. Some y-wing bombers flew over the legions hiding spot. As the droids and bugs began to focus on them the legion charged from their hiding spot.

To Arc's horror the bombers that weren't meant to be a distraction were quickly shot down. The legion was running into a grave yard of a squadron. They were running into the open as droids and bugs began to fire at the approaching troopers.

Troopers began to scatter for cover as they realized what they were running into. The troopers ran to what ever cover they could find. Some were pulling at survivors from the y-wings that had been shot down. Troopers were beginning to drop and Arc wasn't sure what to do. They were in a bad position and retreating would cost more lives but staying here might cost the entire legion.

Arc was trying to decided what to do when a shadow passed over head. Arc looked up to see an LAAT fly over head and began to fire its many weapons. Rockets were fired at tanks or spider droids. The lasers on the front were firing at the approaching droid and bug forces. The two side laser balls began to fire beams out at the droids.

"We've got you captain." Jetter said as more republic fighters flew into the fight.

A cheer rose through the legion as the tide began to turn in the republic's favor. The clones began to push their advantage. Jetter lowered his gunship down and Arc began to have the wounded loaded up. He left a squad to stay with the injured troopers who couldn't fit. Jetter would continue to pick up the wounded as the battle progressed.

Arc and his legion were now out of the of the out cropping and heading to the first droid bunker. Arc had his five tanks reserved and if he had to use them it was only one per bunker. Which meant he only had one tank for each of the three bunkers. He had to hope that his tank crews were good.

The first bunker saw the approaching clones and tank and began to fire. Luckily for the clones the turrets weren't that accurate and missed their shots. The tank began to return fire as the troopers to cover. The area had some cover but not a bunch. Arc looked at a hologram scanning from the ship and saw the bunkers were fairly spaced apart.

"Dogger. How many other jet pack troopers are there?" Arc asked in his comlink.

"Maybe four or five others." Dogger replied back.

"Gather them all and come to my position. I have an idea." Arc said.

"Copy that captain." Dogger replied.

Soon Dogger and five other jet pack troopers landed behind Arc. Arc turned to the squad and had a smile under his helmet.

"You remember the last training session?" Arc asked.

"Yes." Dogger replied.

"Take the other jet pack troopers and land on the bunker. They can lay on the top and fire at anything past the bunker while you throw droid poppers in the front." Arc explained.

"Copy that sir." Dogger replied before him and the other troopers took off.

The rest of the troopers quit firing as the jet troopers landed. Dogger threw the droid poppers in and the bunker went silent. Again the legion cheered and rushed to the bunker as the tanks moved up.

As the troopers ran up, a blaster bolt nailed one in the visor and the trooper crumbled to the ground. Steam rising from the broken visor. The rest of the trooper got low as more bolts came over. One trooper dared to peak over with some macro binoculars. He ducked down as bolts whizzed over his head but he seemed to get what he needed.
