"Desperate times call for desperate measures! In one of the longest and fiercest battles of the war, Separatist forces are on the verge of claiming the planet Malastare. If the Republic loses this planet, it will cost them vital fuel resources necessary for maintaining their armies. In a final effort to turn the tide of this battle, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine has authorized the use of the Republic's newest weapon, the electro-proton bomb. Now at the imperial palace of Doge Urus, the leader of the Dugs, the Jedi count down the minutes until the detonation of their doomsday device."

On the planet of Malastare, Jedi Padawan (Y/n) Kexus and the faithful droid R2-D2 supports Master Mace Windu in the achievement of the safety of the planet, standing with Doge Urus, Doctor Boll and Chancellor Palpatine via a communication device, they watch from the palace top. The clone army defends from the palace as a massive force of droids are approaching.

"That's a lot of droids..." (Y/n) said, hopeful of the bombs effectivity. Doge turns his attention to Palpatine.

"I won't allow my people to become Separatist slaves." He grunts, The chancellor smiles calmly.

"I assure you, Doge Urus, that will not happen. Dr. Boll has stated that only droids will be affected by the bomb's electron field."

"Yes. The clones and your people will be quite safe." Dr Boll said, she was a female Bivall, a humanoid race of semi aquatic creatures. "We have accounted for every probable outcome." She continues.

"It's the improbable that concerns me, Doctor. There must be other options." Windu said not particularly sure of this plan.

"I'm afraid not. This bomb is our only hope for victory now." Palpatine said, (Y/n) watches and sees red lasers flying.

"The droids are on the move..." he says, using his communication device he taps in.

"Rex, hold the line until the bombs drop, then fall back... minimal casualties." (Y/n) watches the clones fire back, holding the droid army as much as possible. Taking shots at the droids they slow the advance down, droids and clones fall all alike, (Y/n) watches intently, until fighters come flying from over the palace.

"Bombs are here.." A Clone calls in and drops it, they watch it slowly hits the ground, it absorbs into a massive kinetic electromagnetic explosion! The wave first hits the droids, disabling them and the pulse causes them all to short circuit, it hits the clones thankfully to no damage. The machinery however is completely disabled, it hits the Jedi thankfully to some discomfort but disables the electronics

"I'm losing my transmission.—" Palpatine cuts off, leaving silence.

"Well, Doc, looks like it worked." (Y/n) peers over the ocean of dead droids, the war won with a single effort. The ground suddenly began to shake, as the impact zone began to crumble and sink!

"The ground is sinking! Rex get your men back!" (Y/n) watches the earth shake and the hole swallow the droids and some clones up. (Y/n) clenched his hands hard watching so many die, running for their lives, but this was a necessary evil for the sake of the world

"We have to inform the chancellor..." Windu said, and they call him back in after the bombs initial strike and they relay they information to him.

"The droid army was completely neutralized by the bomb. But the blast created a sinkhole which engulfed many of our troopers. We have search parties looking for them now." Windu said.

"And the Dugs? Have they signed the treaty?" Palpatine asks them, the leader Moved up.

"No, Chancellor, the treaty must be passed by the council." Doge said.
