Galaxy of War || A clone wars fanfiction

Chapter 56

"Push forward!" Anakin orders as we try to win over the space station around Ringo Vinda. The battle have lasted for several days. Any time we win a fight, we lose one another in another place. When I was first notified of joining Anakin on the mission, I did not think it would be this hard of a fight. Beside me, twin Jedi Masters Tiplee and Tiplar are assigned to the mission as well.

The two of us walk in front, protecting the clones from the droid shots. I hear Tup scream 'watch out' to someone before I hear the sound of armor hitting the ground. I turn around and see Tup helping up Fives. "You boys alright?" I ask them.

"We're okay, Commander," Fives replies. "It's good to see you again, sir."

"It's good to see you too, it's been far too long," I say before we return to the ongoing battle. The last time I saw Fives was before everything happened.

I fight my way back up to the front and see we're almost all the way to the control center. If we get control over that, it will help us in the long run of this battle. Between us and the door are two destroyer droids. I look at Anakin and he nods, agreeing to my plan. I proposed a new idea to destroy those kinds of droids for him and Obi-Wan a few days ago, but our master deemed it too dangerous. Luckily I have Anakin to test out ideas with. I tighten my grip around my lightsaber before setting off from the ground and jumping over the droids as the clones fire onto them to distract. With the help of Anakin and the force, I get safely past the droids and can therefore cut them down from behind. I turn off my lightsaber and dust imaginary dust off me as Anakin and the clones catch up to me.

"What can I say, I'm a battle genius," I joke as the doors open.

"More like lucky our Master isn't here to see that, it would have taken off several years of his life," Anakin grins and shoves me in my side. Inside the control room, we're met with the Jedi twins and their clones.

"Don't get too comfortable. This battle hasn't been won yet," Anakin warns the clones as some of them sit down to rest.

Tiplee walks to our side. "Master Skywalker, we must get to the command post. Admiral Trench has sent for reinforcements. We must take this post before they arrive."

We all crouch down to look at the holomap in front of us. "It's time for phase two," Anakin says and points at the map. "We're at this position. Tiplar, you'll take your men down this passageway. Tiplee, you'll move along here. They'll have to divide their forces to counter us. And when they do, Rex, Lora and I will press through the middle. If we time it right, we'll all converge on this spot at the same time, and the droids won't know what hit them."

"If we're making a run, we'll need backup. My men are severely depleted," Commander Doom says.

Anakin thinks for a moment before turning to some of the 501st clones. "Fives, you and Tup take ten of your best men and support Master Tiplar."

"We're on it, sir," Fives acknowledges the order. After that, we're all prepared to fight again. Anakin, me and our men leave first, instantly met with shots being fired. As the corridors we're fighting in are side by side, sometimes there's moments where we can see each other fight. We keep pushing as hard as always, and we all enter the right spot at the same time. All we need is to win this fight, and then I think we have won the battle.

I dive to the side as a droid gets pushed near me by another droid. I cut down the others around me before pushing forward. I spot a spider droid on top of some crates and jump on top of it at the same time as Master Tiplar does. She steps back as I drive my lightsaber down through its body and it falls limp.

"Good job," Master Tiplar says with an approving tone. I give her a thankful smile before we each continue with the fight. We stand side by side as I notice Tup moving closer. What is he doing without his helmet on? I brush it off until I suddenly hear his blaster being fired. I drop my lightsaber to the ground as I catch Master Tiplar's body. I look horrified from the smoking hole in her head, to Tup standing above us. One second his gaze is filled with resentment, the next he's horrified. He looks confused. Fives swoops in and pushes him to the ground, making his hands go behind his back.
