Clone Wars Untold

Chapter 23

"Launch all fighters and once we are in range,fire all guns at the command ship and then focus on the rest of blockade, I also want all gunships prepped for when we are clear to land" Anakin ordered to the officers on the bridge as we walked towards the doors. "Anakin STOP, you just started a battle we aren't prepared for" Obi Wan said after he told Cody to ask for reinforcements, "I don't care, all I want is for Ahsoka to be safe" the younger Jedi replied to his former master. "Sir, General Plo Koon's fleet is nearby and is in his way with 3 extra cruisers." Rex informed reading what was on the display screen. "Excellent, now I'm heading down to the surface if you would to join me" Anakin said looking over his shoulder at Obi Wan as he left the room, with a sigh and a roll of his eyes, the more experienced Jedi ran after his former apprentice.

Plo Koon's ships emerged from hyperspace and the hanger in each ship was almost deserted as every fighter launched into the fierce space battle that was taking place before their eyes. Just like every other space battle there was not a long period of time between the sound of exploding ships and screaming pilots as the deadliness of space hushed them forever. The booming sounds of the engines on each fighter was all a pilot could hear apart from the screeching sound of laser blasts that were the cause of so many deaths, the fairly new ARC-180 ships had a more powerful engine as well guns allowing them to detonate more enemies unlike the old Y-wings that had been around since the very beginning and even though they came in handy they were more purposes for bombing. There was one dream ship each pilot could only dream about flying and that was a Jedi Interceptor or Jedi star-fighter depending on the Jedi's choice of vechile, these ships were a sleek design allowing the Jedi to slip in and out of laser blasts as well as having extremely powerful duns that could wipe out any Separatist fighter in one hit. Plo Koon joined Anakin and Obi Wan in the space battle that would give the winner a huge advantage on the surface, sensing each other's moves they were all able to coordinate moves that allowed them the fastest and deadliest attacks that not even a droid could calculate.

"General Skywalker, we've been successful in destroying 2 of the cruisers and the command ship is almost destroyed, we've dispatched as many gunships as we can afford to right now. Cody and I are on one of the and will meet you in the surface." Rex said through his communicator hoping that the connection wouldn't be jammed by the droids. "Copy that Rex. Obi Wan, Master pol and I have entered the atmosphere and are doing our best to destroy the gun turrets down here, but don't worry we'll have them destroyed by the time you get down here" Anakin cut out focusing on his primary objective which was trying to destroy anything Separatist. "What of the civilians?" Plo Koon's deep voice came through into the other 2 Jedi's communicator. "Let's hope they stay out of the way, it makes our job easier" Kenobi said shooting down a turret that exploded into a million pieces leaving metal scattered on the docking bay.

A few minutes passed and all the turrets were destroyed allowing the clones to land. As soon as a gunship touched the ground, the doors flew open and the troops came rushing out and yelling orders at each other while the gunships left to go and collect more troops for the battle that laid ahed. The wide silver doors that concealed the city from the docking bay exploded which caused every Republic troop to take cover as large numbers of droids came pouring out guns aimed at troops with only one objective, to kill. Out of the three Jedi on the ground Anakin was the first to rush forward chopping down any droid that dared stand in the way of him and Ahsoka.

"Go Obi Wan, help him find Ahsoka, I will help the clones advance on the city" the Kel Dor said blocking incoming blaster fire. With a nod of his head Obi Wan rushed off after Anakin hoping he didn't get himself killed, with help from the clones shots behind him he was able to proceed in a more rapid fashion than he would have otherwise. He saw Anakin hoping on a speeder that would take him directly to the palace. "Anakin wait, I'm coming with you" he stated and although Anakin didn't show it, he was grateful to have his former master accompany him.

Ahsoka listened to the ongoing battle that grew ever closer towards her and Doouk's position in the palace. "You hear that child, your former master and friends are coming to save you" he said sneering down at her and then rising up from the chair and walking over to a window to look at the senesce. Ahsoka observed her surroundings and saw 2 droids in front of her and her lightsaber attached to the Count's belt, she devised a plan quickly in her head and hoped she could pull it off. She stood up and walked a few steps forward to alert her guards that she was out of place, they looked over and although who could never tell due to their design, they we're shocked. "Blast her" said one of them, 2 shots fired off and using the force to help her timing, she dodged the first one and put her hands in the direction of the second one that freed her from her chains. The 2 droids looked at each other and looked back at her, she used the force to crush them causing sparks to fly out of them, she then force pulled her lightsaber to her and stood in a ready position as Dooku turned around, "This time lets play fair"
