The Prodigy

Bonding part 2

Y/N and Lena were currently inside the mess hall of the Vanguard, they were conversing with the clones present.

Y/N : So sergeant what's your name.

Rails : I am CT-2226 but my brothers call me Rails.

Lena : Which company do you belong to Rails?

Rails : I am apart of the 2nd company under CT-120 captain Sanguinius.

Y/N : I see, and what about these men here are they under your command?

Rails : Yes sir this is my squad, Hellfire squad is the name sir.

Lena : Ah because you're going to rain hellfire on the enemy, clever name Rails.

Rails felt a bit embarrassed to be complemented by his commander so just laughed awkwardly.

Rails : Thank you commander.

Y/N : So is this gonna be your first deployment?

A/N : HF means Hellfire squad

HF clone : No sir, including the battle of Geonosis this will be our second deployment.

Y/N : You were in Geonosis?

Rails : Yes general, we were actually under your command during the battle.

Y/N : Oh really, what battery did you guys command?

HF clone : The 7th battery general.

Y/N : The 7th huh?

Y/N tried to remember the deeds of the 7th battery in Geonosis.

Y/N : Ah yes the 7th, you were the ones tasked with holding back enemy reinforcements with the 9th and 10th batteries right?

Rails : Yes sir, your strategy that day sir to cut off reinforcements to the enemy helped win us that battle sir.

Lena : Really? Master Y/N helped win the battle for the Republic.

Rails : Yep, he was a fine artillery commander, it was our first battle so even though we were trained for it there was still some nervousness within us.

Lena : That's great, see master you are a good commander.

Y/N was blushing from the complements he was receiving.

Y/N : It was a team effort, and if you want to praise anyone it should he Hell Fire squad. They single handedly held back an entire enemy advance.

Lena: I thought you said they were backed up by the 9th and 10th batteries.

Y/N : Rails would you like to do the honors.

Rails : Yes sir. Whilst we were supported by the 9th and 10th initially, the 9th ran out of ammunition as it was dealing with the most number of clankers and the 10th had most of its AV-6 and SPHA's because of their open position. This left the only operational guns in that sector were ours, normally this would've been alright as we had held off the enemy reinforcements long enough for our own reinforcements to reach the front. We then saw to our horror around 5 thousand clankers almost encircling our left flank, thus I gathered all of our guns and concentrated all of our fire on the center of the enemy formation, when we ran out of ammo I told my men to run to other batteries and request ammo. Even when that was not enough we used our transports filled them with gas and thermal detonators and drive it towards the enemy lines, the clones would drive it straight to the enemy and jump out at the last second. We then received aerial support from the fleet and that led to the rout of the enemy.
