10: Old Friends Not Forgotten

Anakin

Apparently, by the time we left for Yerbana, many Separatist forces surged around the galaxy, all of them attacking in synch and led by General Grievous, causing many Jedi Generals to be dispatched around the Outer Rim.

We found Obi-Wan and Lana's fleet finishing off the Separatists at our arrival, so, we just had to give out a hand on the ground. Lana and I, as well as the 501st, got into gunships as to get to the ground. As we flew into the atmosphere and got closer to the different spots where trouble were, we acknowledged there were loads of enemy troops.

"What's the plan?" I asked Lana.

"Well, Cal sent me the coordinates of where he is, apparently the 104th and 212th are stuck at a bridge fighting Separatist forces." She said as she looked at the hologram of the bridge Kestis had sent her that R2 was kindly projecting for us.

"Alright, I guess they're on that bridge." I said pointing outside, for the gunship's gates were open. She looked over her shoulder and nodded. The Separatists were letting hellfire rain upon the Republic Forces, we could see two blue lightsabers deflecting blasts and covering the flanks of the soldiers. "They're in serious need for reinforcements."

"It's a good thing we're here, then." I smiled at the curly haired young woman. "Problem is that the droids will surround them if they get to cross the other bridge." She added.

"So, we gotta take those out before we help them out."

"Yeah." I nodded as she communicated with Cal to let them know we have arrived and we'd help them out soon.

"Alright! Drop the rockets upon those droids on the second bridge on my mark." I commanded our pilot. "We jump down when the smoke crates a curtain." She nodded and grabbed her lightsabers from the holders getting ready. "Rex, do you know if your men have their backpacks ready?"

"They do, sir."

"What are you thinking about?" Asked Lans.

"An ambush." She smiled and nodded.

"Oh, I like it." I scoffed.

"Thanks." I turned back at Rex. "Get those backpacks on, make sure to carry plenty of explosives with you; you'll fly down with us, then you'll follow my lead. You too, R2."

"As usual, General." I smiled. R2 beeped, agreeing to the plan as well.

"When should I drop the rockets, sir?"

"Not yet." I waited for us to get closer. "Hold it...hold it...Now!" The rockets flew from the gunship to the bridge, we saw how many of those droids blew up, specially the walkers and spider droids, the rest was easy work. Lana and I jumped off the gunship with the members of my legion following behind flying with their jetpacks.

Allana landed on a walker that was still firing its weapons and, in a second, she stuck the blades of her lightsabers into its eye, melting it inside out.

  Meanwhile, I was cutting off the heads and arms of some super droids that were firing at us and, at a very steady pace —and after forty minutes or so—, we managed to destroy the wave that could've killed our friends.

"Now what?" Asked Naberrie as she removed a light coat of sweat that was on her forehead.

"We get over there." I pointed at the bridge.

"You don't have a plan, do you?"

"I do have a plan." Lana arched an eyebrow. "Sort of." She added a smile and I sighed as I shrugged. "I have parts of a plan, alright? But we'll figure out the rest as we go, just trust me." She laughed and I smiled, her beautiful face made my heart leap with joy.
