Fi and the clone leagions descended to the planets surface. It was rather dark outside, not that it was any hard to see, but it was still spookily dark. And this was day. THat did not concern Fi. He saw the hills, the nearby mountian, the tactical ditches, and the sparse trees that turnmed into a forest few miles toward the nearest known Sith foundry. He turned to his first lueitenant. "Lueitenant, I want to take all non-vanguard infantry units up the mountian to SW, and take the rest of the tanks and men at slow-medium pave to the SSE." "Um, sir, may I point out a protocol?" "You may sir!" "It is innappropriate for a commander to issue orders until the troops under his commmand have exited transports!" "... very well. But carry out your orders as soon as proper protocol had been fufilled!

==============================================

Slindigh Di-Oni watched as all go out of the vehicles. His mind was not yet on the coming battle. He was worried about his people. He was ashamed that they had allied themselves with the Sith, and at the same time worried as he knew what they are capable of. He called his apprentice to him. Jedi were much better in twos.

"Yes, thank you Tekla. I beilieve you and I are to go investigate the Sith foundry. He handed Tekla a pair of electobinoculars. "It's like a cross between a droid foundry and a Sith fortress. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it before. We can take the speeders." Slindigh got on a modified BARC speeder of his own, painted black and red.

Tekla just jumped on a simple speeder because he only used ships and such to travel vast distances like in space. He folowed Slindigh an area outside the Sith FOundry and they jumped off the speeders. "Master, what are we looking for again?" Tekla questioned as he grabbed his binoculars.

"That is a wise question, my young padawan. Keep asking those and you will become a great Jedi... when I figure out, I'll tell you. I know what we're not trying to find, though... my kin. Chances are, they will not hesisate to attack me. I know they will not hesitate to attack you." He whistled. "I must say, I would not mind having a place like this."

How many times had he done this? RC-7484's eyes flickered over his HUD out of habit. Too many times to count, it seemed. He already had his battle plan laid out: rappel in, shoot droids, hop back into the larty when the deed was done. Unfortunately, his mind always seemed to condense the weeks, months, years of the scent of burning droid oil, the sound of shrapnel, the screams of his vode into "shooting droids". Sometimes he liked to forget.

 

His brothers called him Al. He looked to them and nodded as they hooked onto the ship as it came to a hover, a group of figures rappelling down with practised speed. It took a lot of work to do this successfully; men broke ankles, legs, and worse, during training sessions. This was worse. There was no medic, no being carted off and it was dark. Blincking rapidly as he hit the ground, Al's vision turned a hazy black-and-white, giving him a relief of the world they had just entered. He knew his brothers had done the same.

 

Holding his hand out, palm down, he made a lowering motion. They all hunkered down as one person, a fluid movement that came from more than just training. Making a slight chopping move beside his helmet, he finally spoke. For some reason, his tongue always seemed glued to the top of his mouth in situations like this.

 

"Crest of the hill; let's see what we can scope." Straying off the path, they headed (gingerly) in the direction they had been told to, though they couldn't see evidence of any buildings. A foundry was what they were after. A Sith foundry. He and his brothers had seen Jedi at work and he was wondering how much worse the Sith would be.

 

=====================================

Nalaen was walking through throngs of droids, idly checking over them, feeling their metallic, buzzing tang in the Force. It was an odd feeling when so many got together. They existed but there was no life. In some ways, it worried her. But she did her job as she commanded, looking over her equipment to make sure all was well. Datapads were randomly handed to her and she checked through them to make sure all constant maintenance was stuck to, and that everything was in order. Apparently it was, though she'd follow through on every order she had given, just to make sure.

 

Something in her mind twinged through the mess of droids and she knew it wasn't one of her sentient underlings. No, this had a corrupt feel, almost a stench. There were Jedi lurking about. She opened herself up to the Force, reaching out. She didn't want to touch them, just feel their presence. The fools. Who would dare enter a Sith lair for one thing, and who would walk straight into an enemy weapons factory? They were doubly damned. Ah well, that just made her life easier.

A few hours later two super battle dorids came into Heros's cave.

 

"We have spotted two Jedi getting off speeders, what do you want us to do?"

 

"Get me a squad of droids i'll need them i'm attacking them myself.

 

 

 

 

Up in the mountains three droids we're called for a new duty.

 

 

T-42 was to go with them down the hills to raid the clones.

 

"Any advice?" asked T-42.

 

"Watch out for the clone FI he's a killer and if you see any Jedi, run!"

Fi signaled his men. They stopped at their location. Fi made a series of three hand moves. All long range snipers activated their turrets and radar scopes and hunkered down. There was a group of clones on the opposite side of a hill as a group of clones. "Open fire." Fi commanded his men. Sniper beams flew form the mountian like modern day arrows. The droid groups in their sight started falling apart. "Sir!" One of their scouts said. Fi glanced at his radar then looked up. Three gunships were bearing down on them, almost in firing range. Fi commanded his snipers to keep firing. Then he contacted his tanks. "Long range ground to air armor, fire on aircraft advancing on our postion. Fire on the aircra-" a concussion rocket blew Fi and five other men against a rock face.

=========================================

"You know, we could try that hallway guarded by on droids. Where their's guards, their's plans. Or we could try destroying the droids that aren't on... I was never very good at this desicion making. Let's see what around us. Slindigh descended into short meditation, detecting several sith near them, that worried him.

Fi got up with a dizzy head. He grabbed a rocket launcher from a comrade who hadn't been as lucky and sent a rocket spam at the gunship that had blasted them. Then haevy blasts wiped away the aircraft. "NOW the tanks start firing..." he groaned, and flipped on his com. "Long range group reduced to roughly 40 percent. All infantry fall in to 35-12 and regroup." He and his men started back down the mountian, most swearing all the way.

XD v12 guided his mount through the nearly impassable gullies and canyons towards the nearest Republic landing zone. No Republic vehicle would bother trying to approach the main installations through this rugged terrain, they had picked their landing zone thinking it would be protected, but they hadn't accounted for the XD v9's spiderlike agility or jump jets. XD v12 had near-sentient intelligence and despised most other droids for their simplicity. But he felt a strange kinship with the XD v9, and they worked extremely well together as the unfortunate Clones were about to find out.

 

Moments before entering the dropsite the two droids charged their CPC's (Charged Particle Cannons) unleashing a blast the moment the first Republic forces came into view. Chaos erupted as two of the Clones artillery were destroyed, and before they could respond to the sudden attack two more blasts were unleashed. XD v12 launched himself from the back of XD v9, opening fire on the infantry. The few shots the clones managed to fire in his direction bounced inefectually of his deflector shields. XD v9 meanwhile continued to wreak havok amoung the armoured units. The artillery guns were to slow to track the rapidly moving droid as it leapt from place to place, and no lighter armour units had been dropped in what was supposedly a secure area. In a matter of minutes the entire division was nothing more than burning wrecks and lifeless bodies.

Al watched the shooting and destruction of droids with mingled feelings. He should have been the one to take them down. He had a kill-count to maintain. However, the orders were the facility. If they encountered hostiles on the way, they would take them out. But they were not to engage unnecessarily. Grunting slightly, the men behind him turning their helmets somewhat to cast glances at each other, Al began making his way across the hill, keeping below the top somewhat. Nothing worse than being seen.

 

There was a huge building. Al had a blink a few times to realise what he was seeing was real. It was almost a weapons factory, but it also had the look of some dark, ancient tomb. Something evil. He shivered a bit. There was nothing about that place he liked. And he had seen and done some pretty horrible things. There was almost an ambiance about it, an unseen warning sign that said "Dead ye who enter here" or something equally eerie.

 

So, he jerked his head and began making his way towards the target, his stomach becoming heavy with dread. This wasn't good. Not at all.

 

===========================================

The piece of flimsi in Nalaen's palm began to curl into a ball, as if her hand was clenching on it. As it was, she was too angry to move any part of her body, but the Force was doing a fine job on its own. Her eye twitched a bit as she struggled to breathe, fueling herself with her anger, rather than being consumed by it. The man before her was struggling not to tremble, but she could feel him in the Force. He knew she was going to kill him.

 

Her eye twitched again and the flimsi ball went flying across the room as she stepped up to the mentally-cowering man and scowled down at him.

 

"Find those Jedi. I can feel them. I want to know how they got in here without detection until now, and what their objective is." She snickered at him as he tried to speak, wanted to speak, but fully knew better than to question her. "Information is a more valuable tool than corpses," she sighed, her voice nothing but malicious. "Then corpses," she quipped as she swept off to send out recon droids to search the area, a bitter little laugh escaping her. She liked playing with Jedi. They were more fun to kill than normal sentients.

Shade stood silently in a clearing, miles away from any action. He had been waiting for word from one of the RC groups. One, any one, was supposed to give word that the foundry exterior was clear of droids, so that he could move in with the majority of his Spec Ops forces.

 

Shade was in charge of all Spec Ops soldiers, considering that spec ops classified soldiers took longer to train than a normal clone, he didn't have many. He had roughly 800 soldiers, there were only four classifications of spec ops too. There were ARC Troopers, Recon Commandos', Spec Ops Troopers, and Shadow Troopers. ARCs he had the least of, and Shadow Troopers he had the most of, while the Commandos' and Spec Ops Troopers remained almost equal in number.

 

Shade turned to a nearby ARC Trooper, "Major, move three commando pods, and two ARCs up towards the tallest point and survey the area. Once you've pinpointed the Special Weapons forces, head to them and relay current orders," he said in his soft, yet menacing voice. The ARC, though he had more free will than most, was a fairly uncomplaining guy, unlike some ARCs, and that's why he chose him to be second-lead.

----------

Blaze held on tightly to the bar over his head as the gunship jolted to a sudden halt, and began it's decent to the planet surface. Blaze lept out as it hit down, his weight making his thud loudly. They had landed fairly close to the nearest foundry, around it's backside. He was surprised they hadn't been shot down, there were literally dozens, maybe a hundred or so gunships, all filled with his battalion, the Special Weapons forces.

 

He waited patiently, but with quite a trigger figure for the word from Shade, who he was co-operating with on this escapade.

 

((I'd appreciate it if no one kills my Major and his group!))

Tekla noticed the droids were pre-occupied by the clone troopers that were attacking, he pulled at his master, then sprinted off to the closest wall of the foundry. "Follow me, quickly." He made his way along the wall to the corner where the door was around the corner. He slowly poked his shivering head around the corner when 4 droids ran out the door along with a droid that was half droid and half spider leg looking. He dared not mess with it. He then quickly jumped around the corner looked into the door and jumped in along with his master, hopefully, not taking time to look back, just in case a droid or another spider droid thing might come around the dark passage way. In his mind, he spoke to his master, "Well we're in. I am if your not." while trying to keep his presence hidden.

"I'm in." Slindigh turned on his six weapons and in seconds he had slaughtered five droids (if you can call destroying droids "slaughtering" as they're not really alive) Then he used his saber to deflect fire while keepin g his zarbrak blades ready for anyhting that came near.

A warning sounded in XD v12's head. Clones and jedi were already attacking the Sith Foundry. While the bulk of the droids were tied up fighting the clone army, special forces and jedi had moved in to attack them. Calling XD v9 to him, he mounted and set off for the foundry. It was no great concern to him if the foundry was destroyed, but the foundry was important and he was still droid enough to have no choice but to obey. At least the prospecct of fighting jedi was something to look forward to.

The area before the Factory was strangely still. Dust puffed and scattered around Al's boots, pebbles randomly clattered gently off boulders or across the ground from unfelt tremours in the ground. Or from the combined steps of thousands of droids. It felt almost dead out here. He pressed his lips together and studied the massive doors barring their entrance. A gnawing feeling started deep in his stomach until it was clenching his chest. It would open. All they had to do was walk over and it would grant entrance for them. The enemy. Doors to a sensitive building would open for the enemy, allowing them to stroll right into the heart of the battle.

 

That was not normal. Al's gut twisted even as he motioned his men forward, sure and careful, making sure there was no ambush in the making. No, that would be inside, where their enemy was waiting. His lips pressed together again and he wet them as his muscles trembled slightly. Nothing in his training had prepped him for this. The battle ground would be on the Sith's terms; they knew the layout and would probably end up effectively trapping everyone inside. It was like leading animals to the slaughter.

 

At least he had clear mind enough to know what was coming. It might help him escape such a fate and actually succeed. There was no other option. He, and his vode, hadn't been bred for failure. Whatever they were facing, he was ready for it, and would react accordingly. Thankfully he wasn't walking in blind.

 

The Kaminoans hadn't grown them to be stupid and ignorant, after all. As the Clones made their approach, Al's fears came to pass. The doors opened smoothly, with barely a sound. The wind whistled slightly across the gap and his spine tensed.

 

"Fierfek," he hissed, shutting his eyes briefly, hearing the refrain from the others. Placing a careful foot forward, he felt the wash of training come over him. His mind cleared; his eyes became steely as he shifted into invincible-warrior-mode. The helmet prevented the others from seeing it, but they all knew. They had all felt the same thing and were equally ready. Weapons were up, making sweeping motions as they entered the Factory purposefully, checking, covering and clearing automatically.

 

"Droids are secondary," Al growled, taking point, peering around a corner as he waved a man into the opposite corner to cover the hall as he came about. Behind him their fellows were ready to lay down suppressive fire, alternating back and forth as they ran from cover to cover if need be. "Our orders are to terminate the Sith and all heads of the Factory. Then we blast and burn."

 

The voice of one of the Commando's came on the com, steady and breathy, giving them strength. "Sa kyr'am nau tracyn kad, Vode an."

 

You said it brother.

============================================

 

The Jedi were here. Nalaen's eyes flashed and she reached out, trying to pick them out as she moved carefully through access tunnels and hidden corridors. She stuck to the shadows and moved as one, barely flitting in the registry of anything with eyes. It was habit, she couldn't break it, even if it was somewhat superfluous. Breathing in, she could next-to taste a lot of different men, and yet something deep inside them said it was the same man. It was subtle things, barely perceptable things, that made them all so different.

 

Those had to be the Clones. They felt formidable. She felt almost bad about having to slaughter so many of them. They were her enemy, true, and they had to be put down, and yes, they were not that much different from droids. They too, had been built for a specific purpose.

 

She shut her eyes and supressed the shudder. But they were Mando'ade. Orders were orders though. And her life was her life. Risking her life to avoid killing an enemy, Mando or not, especially when they were just reproductions, was like getting sentimental over droids. Nothing about this felt right though, even to her. This wasn't the war she had been raised to wage. She wanted the Jedi. Those were her true foes. If she had her way, the Clones would be sent out, the droids decomissioned and the Jedi locked in the hangar bay for her to play with. That was a perfect world. Nothing in this galaxy was perfect unfortunately.

 

But what did it matter? She yet had Jedi to toy with, and she wouldn't deny herself that pleasure, no matter who got in the way. Stepping out of a consealed door, Nalaen stretched out with the Force, feeling it pour out of every cell of her being. It was an amazing feeling, almost like touching energy itself.

 

As always, the Force had led her right. There were Jedi near. And she was coming up behind them. Her palm tingled, eager for the feel of the hilt of her double-bladed sabre slapping firmly into it. Her ears buzzed with the hissing-thrum of the blades as they boiled out; red, frightening and absolutely lethal. She wondered idly if these fool Jedi had ever taken on a sabre like hers before. If not, they would receive quite the education before dying.

While Tekla was making his way through the shadows his master was holding off the droids. He seemed to be holding them off as if Tekla wasn't there but he pressed along the shadowed wall slowly making his way to a door that led to a hallway. Hopefully he can handle them droids and with the word that jedi are in the temple, more droids are going to be coming. Tekla force grabbed his hilt and held it in his hand while pressing in between some slabs in the wall. Droids came marching down the hallway to aid the other droids in the other room. He jumped out igniting his saber and cut the closest droid. The droids fired immediately at the intruder. He deflected the bullets and cut the nearest droid in half.

 

Once the little fight was over he looked around and made his way down the hallway to the Sith presence.

The familiar smell of burning, destroyed droids hit all of RC-7484's squad at the same time. A moment later, they were inundated with the sounds of battle. Behind them. Al's eyes darted around, automatically examining the area for a fight. He looked around his HUD, blinking rapidly now and then, information spilling onto the screen even as he checked his team's status, his weapon read-out and his own vitals. Green across the board.

 

"Gogogo!" he shouted, darting out into the open, back the way they came, dropping to cover instinctually before they even saw the carnage. Looking up, Al saw a Sith. He knew it was a Sith. It had to be a Sith. It was like a Jedi . . . only wrong. Swinging his DC-17 around, aiming even before he had finished sighting the enemy, he suddenly held his hand out flat. Everyone's, including his own, fingers were already on their triggers, ready to fire. They stopped dead.

 

Jedi could deflect blaster fire. Sith probably could as well.

 

"Two-nine flashbang him," Al commanded over their com, going for his own flashbang, "the rest, frag." They moved as one being, all reaching down and automatically grabbing at their 'nades, knowing exactly where they had each put their ordinance. Five grenades went sailing at the Sith's position, slightly around him so any movement wouldn't completely protect them from the projectiles.

 

They all ducked a split second before a blinding light and deafening crash raced over them. Even as the light burned, the squad was up from their covers, firing madly, hoping the Sith was disoriented enough to not block even half the shots.

 

Fierfek. How'd we get called in for this one?

 

=========================================

 

The Jedi was closer than Nalaen had previously thought. In fact, they were getting closer. A tingle of excitement went through her and she ducked into an alcove that was nearly just a crack in the wall. She had a habit of springing on her opponents. It was an Assassin thing, really. Her hand tingled. Her arm was clenching. She wanted to grab her sabre now and slaughter the fool. But patience . . . patience . . . she just had to wait a little more. He would deliver himself to death. That made it so much easier than hunting him down.

 

She loved it when her prey came of their own volition.
