We sat in our bunks late at night talking about tomorrow "can you believe it sarge?" said Private Heavy as he looked at me "we head out to our first fight" I nodded and sighed our medic corporal Shots said "whats wrong sir?" he sat up I looked up at them "I want you two to be careful we have known each other for a long time and I don't want you to see you hurt tomorrow so watch your backs and remember your training" they nodded and I laid back "get some sleep fellas" I rolled over and closed my eyes. I dreamed of flying through the air no gunship no ships of any kind, just me. A battle went on below I saw general Knobie he was riding some strange alien creature across a cliffside I looked down and saw Commander Cody point and saw a rocket fly I went to open my mouth and shout to the General but no words came out all I could do was watch on as they killed the general. I watched him fall into the water below and I followed he washed ashore he was alive as far as I could tell and he was alone, but then voices were heard someone was coming and they did not sound friendly "spread out find the Jedi!" it was Cody it was him soon enough there he was over a ridge he pointed and his squadron opened fire on the general slaughtering him that is when I awoke in a cold sweat panting I looked around I was still on Kamino I sighed just a bad dream I thought but I wondered why the Commander would kill General Kenobie I shook off the thought and went to sleep not many hours later we were awoken by Captain Rex "Sargent get your men up and ready to fight we are heading for Geonosis Skywalker and Kenobi need our help" I jumped up and shouted "up and at em lads we got a fight on our hands!" Heavy and Shots scrambled up to get there armor on as did our with our blue stripes on our shoulders "meet up with the rest of the platoon you are gonna be the first on the ground" we saluted "yes sir!" and we started to run toward the hangar "we need to make a quick stop at the armory sir" said Heavy "whys that corporal?" he stopped "well sir we aren't even armed" I groaned and we double-timed it to the armory picking up our blasters and sprinted to the hangar we finally met up with the platoon "alright everyone in the gunships" we packed into the ships and I stood next to Yoda himself "hello sir" Yoda looked up to me "hello Sargent careful we must be on this day hmm?" I nodded "don't worry sir we won't let you down" he laughed and looked up at me "not you I am worried about Master Kenobi am I worried for" I looked down and Yoda looked up at me like he knew something about me almost as if he knew what I dreamt of last night I kept quiet and looked ahead. "Ready for take off!" shouted the pilot and before I could ask Master Yoda what he meant we were gone space travel never did take long, but this trip felt like ages this is what we were bred for but it didn't make me feel less nervous we soon were over Geonosis "okay lads when we land secure the area and push forward we are here to help the Jedi and the princess" as we got closer to the planet I heard blaster fire "hold on boys its a hot landing" said the pilot Master Yoda looked up at me "Sargent be ready you must for a moment" I looked down and nodded "open the doors!" I shouted "heavy lay down some fire the rest of you I want boots on the ground" I turned to Heavy " you do not get off this ship until our boys are off is that clear soldier? " he nodded and the doors flew open and we had walked into at least a battalion of battle droids and Geonsisians "every out!" we jumped from the ship right into the middle of it "open fire if its made of bolts shoot it" I shouted as we pushed into the arena "were losing men!" shouted Shots as he was trying to help a fallen trooper "we will get reinforcements soon hold on Shots" I kept firing I soon ran out of ammo and dropped my blaster rifle and pulled my blaster pistol that is when he landed. Jango Fett he was killing our troopers, my men, "for the republic!" I shouted as I tackled him and started pounding my fists against his helmet I was thrown off of him and we squared off I snarled in my helmet "c'mon then come get it!" I shouted as he drew and blade and throw it at me I ducked and he took the chance to kick me right in the face my helmet flying off I spit blood and got ready for another blow which didn't come. Jango had pulled a blaster from his side then a flash of red energy hit me right in the leg I shouted and wobbled to my feet I looked up and Jango was making a b-line for Kenobi. I ran as fast as my wounded leg would carry me my heart pounding in my ears I was getting dizzy from the loss of blood I blinked and Jango had a blaster aimed right at Kenboi and was about to fire that is when I drove my shoulder into his back we tumbled and during the fall he fired his blaster and hit me right in the chest plate I went down coughing up blood.My vision was going dark that's when I saw Shots "Sarge! Sarge!" he shouted as I put my hand on his shoulder "Shots?'" He nodded as I shoved him out of the way and shot two droids "damn clankers" I said as I dropped my blaster "it'll be okay sarge" Shots yelled as I slowly closed my eyes "don't you dare close your eyes! Don't do it! keep em open Sarge! Damn it I said open them!" Shots were still pounding on my chest as the world went dark and again I was flying this time over Geonosis watching the battle unfold Obi-wan Kenobi was safe, but Jango Fatt was still fighting killing my men my lads he was then fighting Master Windu he had lopped off Jango's head. I watched flying over the battle we were winning and then suddenly I was falling my mouth opened to yell but nothing came out of it again. I awoke in a hospital in some liquid I looked around there stood Shots and Heavy. I blinked a couple times there also stood General Skywalker and General Kenobi I was released from the glass containment unit and set on a bed my leg wrapped up along with my chest I looked around as the door swung open I stood Shots and Heavy ran in "Sarge!" they shouted as they ran over and put there hand on my shoulder "are you okay?" Shots asked I nodded and patted his hand "thanks to you Shots" Heavy smiled "I am glad your okay sarge" I nodded as I stood and winced as my leg burned like fire "easy sarge your leg is still pretty bad sit" Shots stood in my way I pushed my way past "no there's still some fighting left to do Shots" I moved past Shots and soon Heavy stood in my way who was much larger and would be rather hard to move around "move Heavy" he stood quietly then a voice was heard behind him "oh! my protector is awake " Heavy moved and there stood the general Kenobi we saluted "at ease I came to thank the man who saved my life" he pointed to me and I looked at him "just doing my job sir" I said as I stood there my leg still on fire "no Sargent you saved my life and for that you have been promoted to Commander you now have your own squadron you have squadron of the 202nd" I saluted Obi-Wan smiled "now sit soldier rest the next battle won't be soon" I sat and laid down I felt drowsy and I slowly fell asleep. I awoke hours later it was late still, but I felt as good as I could I looked over and saw Shots working on some machines "well welcome Sarge back to the land of the living you have been asleep for a couple days how are you feeling?" he looked to me " I feel right as rain corporal ready to fight" he nodded and unhooked some things fro my body "General Kenobi wishes to see you sir" I nodded and looked for my armor "where is my armor soldier?" Shots shrugged "Kenobi took it sir" I nodded as I left the medical wing "he is in the main cloning station!" Shots shouted down the hallway. I nodded and started walking past the training rooms and the schools I watched all these new troopers that were called shinys I finally made it to the main cloning room Obi wan was watching clones come into life "General Kenobi" I said as I stepped in and saluted "please trooper no need to be so formal" he turned and smiled "we have your new armor you and your men will be apart of my personal unit" he opened a small crate next to him it was shiny white armor yellow chest piece and yellow stripes down the arms and legs and a helmet with the Jedi symbol on the side "sir me and my boys are honored." He smiled and nodded as I slipped the armor on "it is great sir" he tossed me a weapon I caught it and examined it. It was a DL-44 "thank you sir!" I saluted he nodded "you are welcome" I nodded. I slowly walked back to the medical wing I thought all was right with the world and suddenly things went sideways. I got halfway back and an explosion shook the facility I fell against the wall "what the hell was that!" I looked around and the coms exploded with chatter "separatist in the west wing" a clone shouted as another followed "they are in the east wing". That was nothing when I heard Shots call out through the coms " we are overrun in the medical wing I need help they are executing the wounded!" I charged toward the medical wing "Heavy come in" Heavy shouted over the blaster fire in the background "yes Sarge?" I shot a droid in the chest and kicked him over I rolled into cover "Shots is in trouble we need some men in the medical wing now!" I kept moving "right away sir move boys!" and the coms were ended. I pushed through shots had a small barricade on one end of the hallway and the droids were pushing through the other end a few injured soldiers fighting would not be enough "Sarge I am glad you are here" Shots shouted as I ducked into cover behind some gurneys and fired at the droids "sir we won't hold out much longer!" shouted a wounded trooper a bandage around his chest "just gotta hold out till Heavy gets here!" I peaked over the gurneys the droids kept advancing on us "okay listen up whoever can move take the wounded and head out the back toward Heavy the rest of us will stay and hold the line" they nodded "okay Shots me and you we will hold the line the rest of you move on three ready?" I took a deep breath and started to count "one" my heart was beating out of my chest was I ready to die? "two" I could barely breath I was ready to die if it meant these lads would live "three!" I shouted and jumped the gurneys to find a platoon of defeated battle droids and a very young padawan standing among them "Asoka am I glade to see you" I smiled inside my helmet she nodded and smiled "Heavy sent us this way he said you had wounded" I nodded "I sent them back that way to Heavy" she nodded then said "well we need help on the landing pads the droids keep coming and we can not get any of the wounded off world until we clear it up" I nodded "Shots we are pushing to the landing pad lets move" I shouted and we started down the hallway with Asoka right behind us we busted through the doors and the landing pads were complete chaos troopers were wounded and gunships were trashed "are we on our own sir?" Shots asked from behind me I looked to him and nodded slowly "yes Shots we are on our own let us help these boys get off planet" he nodded and we charged the battlefield dropping droid after droid. The young padawan was next to me fighting "commander!" I heard someone shout from behind me I turned and saw Obi-Wan running towards us alongside Anakin Skywalker "general" I said we ducked behind a couple creates "what is the plan?" I asked and Anakin smiled "okay commander you take the 202nd division and clear the landing pads I will take the 501st and we will clear the main cloning facility then we will meet up at the reactor core. " I nodded and turned to Shots and the rest of the clones still able to fight "ready lads?" I shouted and they cheered we started to head to the landing pads the minute we stepped outside it was chaos half our brothers were lying wounded or dead "what are we doing sarge!" shouted a clone from the back "ok you men go to the west pad we will go to the east and push until we meet in the middle" a choirs of yes sirs came through as we moved into the east landing pad and started blasting battle droid after battle droid. We soon were pinned down behind some crates "stay down boys we will move soon" I went to peek over the crate and almost lost my head "Heavy!" I shouted and soon over the side of the crates there he was a moutian of a clone weilding a minigun. Heavy had caught up to us with some troopers from the 41st ranger division they had armor covered in camoflauge. They met us behind the crates "Hello Sarge how can we help?" He fired shots as he spoke and I looked around "drive em back right over the edge into the water we charge on me" I took a deep breath and let out a battle cry "for our brothers!" I bellowed and jumped the crates firing shot after shot with the thundering of my brothers feet we pushed these blankets back till they were on the edge of the platform we blasted them and even kicked them off the edge we cheered we had finally won. That's when we heard over the coms "help we have an unidentified separatist commander ahhh!" The line was cut short that's another brother gone. I was standing there unsure of what to do that's when heavy called "sir we have commando droids on the rear!" I spun around and started barking orders "Heavy get up there and lay down some fire Shots you take care of the wounded thoes who can still fight with me we hold them here!" We set up makeshift barries and held the line as we fired into the crowd of commando droids running towards us now you might think what's so different they're still droids right? No they are highly advanced combat droids made to infiltrate and eliminate targets,but we still held the line the coms started up again it was General Kenobi "Commander Grievous is heading your way do not engage fall back". I ducked behind some cover "we can't sir our backs are to the wall we have no where to go" the coms were silent I sighed and stood "fall back help Shots move the wounded" most fell back Heavy looked at me "Sarge what are you gonna do?" I lifted my blaster pistol and shrugged "I'm gonna hold the line fall back and cover them" he stood there behind me I could tell he was conflicted "was that an order sir?" He asked quietly I nodded taking a deep breath "that was an order corporal" with that I was alone ready to face down this droid army what a way to go out. Soon I was taking a lot of fire I could barely move blaster fire was hitting everything but me and soon I returned fire destroying droid after droid none stood a chance and then I heard it a strange tapping like nails on metal that's when he came into view General Grevious the king clanker. Without a second thought I rushed him dismantling his army as I reached him I knew I would getone shot off and I did that blast however missed and went through his cloak he grabbed me by my throat and lifted me off my feet I was ready to die. I waited glaring down at him but the final blow never came he threw me to the side with a thud I hit a wall and landed hard my vision was blurred. I could tell I was surrounded by droids I felt around for a weapon of any kind that's when I felt it a light saber right there I must have shot it of Grevious. With what was left of my strength I picked it up and stood letting out a blood curdling battle cry and dove head long into the clankers. Death must be near but I was never hit I never fell and when a rescuesquad finally showed up I looked up at them surrounded by a hundred battle droids clutching a blue light sabers and shrugged "guess they didn't know I was with the 202nd" and the clones roared with applause and cheers the day was won but the war far from over.
