Training

*BOOM*

Jaden was blown through the air by a thermal detonator explosion landing in a crater as he was surrounded by blaster fire and explosions 'These simulations are way too realistic.' He thought to himself as he rolled onto his stomach with his blaster rifle in hand. One of the rules he had to abide by while training was to not use any Force abilities and to not use his lightsaber, Clones didn't have that luxury so he wouldn't be allowed to either.

Luckily he was given a medical examination before training and in a few hours they managed to heal him up pretty well though not fully, Commander Delts laughed and told him that it would make for a better challenge when he's in the simulation room.

"Soldier keep moving forward!" A Clone Captain shouted as he dived into the crater with Jaden. Commander Delts had told him that if he wanted to learn how to lead he needed to learn how to follow and learn how Officers command on the field. Of course, these were all holograms but they were all programmed to emulate real clone soldiers and the blasters they shot most definitely felt real.

"Yes sir!" Jaden shouted as he stood up and ran out of the crater while firing his blaster ahead at the enemies. It was hard to see the enemies as he was in what was a weird forest with bright moving plants and trees, the droids were taking cover behind the trees as they pinned their troops down. Jaden slid behind a tree and grabbed a thermal detonator from his felt before throwing it and hoping for the best, this was hell. He looked around the battlefield and saw clones being killed in droves and yet the Captain kept on ordering them forward and they followed commands without question.

"Move! Move! Move! We need to secure the LZ if we want reinforcements!" The Captain shouted as he blasted Droid after Droid.

Jaden was able to keep calm though only barely, in his work as a freelance thief, he'd gotten into his fair share of firefights but nothing could truly prepare him for a full-scale battlefield like this. He came out from behind the tree and started firing again only to end up being shot in the shoulder "AHH." He shouted as he fell to the ground, he grabbed his shoulder as he kept shooting at the approaching droid army, however, a battle droid spotted him on the field and shot him in the head.

*Simulation Ended*

Jaden breathed heavily as he lay on the floor, all the pain from the blaster fire disappeared and he was in a large empty white room "You did a bit better that time sir, but if you want to lead troops you'll need to do better." Commander Delts said over the speaker in the room.

Jaden scowled as he sat up "Why do I even need to do this training, how many other Jedi did it?" He asked.

"Including you, I'd say around eight Jedi that I know of volunteered to complete this training." Commander Delts replied.

Jaden scoffed "Seven Jedi out of thousands of Jedi have no experience on the battlefield whatsoever." He said before he started laughing.

"Correct sir, shall we start again?"Commander Delts asked, Jaden stood up and slapped his face before nodding "Let's go." He said.

*Simulation Start*

"Come on Soldier! We need to secure the LZ for reinforcements before the clankers overrun our position!" The Clone Captain shouted as he ordered the other clones to take a defensive position. In this simulation, we were the only company left and had to secure the landing zone to make way for reinforcements, 144 soldiers two AT-TEs and a couple of demolition squads.

Jaden ran to some cover with his squad and they took position behind some cover "Protect the AT-TE's Flank soldiers, we don't need a bunch of metal heads taking out our heavy artillery!" His Sergeant shouted as he gave them all their orders.
