Slindigh got rif of the last droid that was bothering to pay attention to them. "Come on," he called Tekla, "Let's go inside now." He saluted the clones and ran inside.

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

Fi had led his clone to 100 yards off the Sith foundry. His men were charging, covered by snipers. He leveled his own sniper rifle and looked for any commanders or Sith to shoot. The tanks wer five minutes away.

"Where is that Sith at?" noticing Slindigh coming up from behind him. "He's toying with us. I can just tell, otherwise he would be attacking us by now." He cautiously made his way down the hallway with no droids or anything. "He must have made all the droids leave the foundry to play around, because this place would be crawling with droids, espeially the hallway leading outside." He stopped. "You feel that Master?"

XD v12 crested a ridge on his way to the foundry and saw a column of tanks. They were already scattering having had a moments advanced warning thanks to their sophisticated radar. XD v12 launched himself to the left, at the same time XD v9 leapt to the left to avoid the incoming fire. Their was too little cover to effectively protect him from the tanks, but they were too busy firing at XD v9 to be a threat. XD v12 placed his weapon on his back, dropped to all four and scurried for the nearest cover, a small cluster of rock formations. XD v9 was amoungst the tanks now, with the revolving chin mounted CPC it could easily track the tanks and fire on them without having to cease it's rapid manouvres, but unlike the artillery, these tanks were having far less difficulty firing on the droid. A quick diagnostic showed XD v9's deflector shields had almost failed.

 

XD v12 retrieved and charged his rifle, rose up and fired at the nearest tank. The heavily armoured vehicle could withstand a blast from XD v12's smaller CPC, but the turret was still vulnerable, and XD v12's advanced targetting system had no trouble hitting it. The tanks had been thinned out now, of the original division of twenty only five were still operable. XD v12 rose and fired, just as another five tanks rounded a bend in the road.

 

XD v12's robotic brain realised they must have had a rear guard, and probably a vanguard of lighter vehicles as well, at the same time it saw three of the newly arrived tanks fire and hit XD v9 simultaneously. It's already depleted sheilds failed and one of the rounds impacted on XD v9's side, blowing off a leg and sending the rest flipping and spinning across the gound. The tanks imediately turned their attention to XD v12's location and began to systematically blow the rocks to pieces. XD v12 rose and fired, rose and fired, disabling a tank with each shot. But his cover was fast diminishing now. Numerous near-misses were putting a drain on his shields.

 

XD v12 rose to fire for a third time, only to have a round hit directly on his central deflector panel. The shield absorbed most of the damage before failing but XD v12 was hurled though the air body parts flying everywhere, before slamming into the ground in ruin.

(((Um, wow, über powers there, seeing as the Clones managed to kill off Jedi . . . *Sighs* Anyway . . . I'm guessing the four are my boys? Imma play like that, I suppose, but I can edit if I'm wrong, easy enough. And also the bit with Nalaen. This is all somewhat difficult to follow but I'm trying my best.)))

 

Al was absolutely stunned. The laid out 'nades had done nothing, which was so close to a statistical improbability that it was damned near an impossibility. His big question was how the hell the Sith had managed to forgo any effects from the flashbangs. His mind jolted as he knew, then and there, that this was futile. There was nothing he and his men could do at the moment. Except tactical retreat.

 

"Haar'chak," he spat, motioning his men back, covering fire for each other. Then, something pressed into his chest and he was gasping for air as he flew backwards. A brief, idiot thought came to his mind: at least he wasn't the only one caught up in this. His vode were being pushed backwards by something invisible; apparently the same thing that had caught him. Tumbling in a frantic free-fall, Al hit the ground on his stomach, wheezing as every once of air was knocked from his lungs. He struggled for breath, closing his eyes to concentrate as he heard the same gasping struggles from his comrades. They all stood, training kicking in. They would never back down. Never give up. No matter how impossible the foe. They weren't built for it.

 

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

 

Nalaen could hear the Jedi, and was nearly overwhelmed by their presence in the Force. She wanted to giggle. It was so cute how their ignorance blinded them so completely. Down to something as stupid as calling her "him". Of course they assumed she had to be male; what female would have such power? Stifling the snort of distaste, she was eager to engage, to strike them. Her hand made grasping motions and she had to physically struggle against her lightsabre flying into her palm. No. Not yet. It was all about timing. Once the strike teams and the heavy-hitters had been subdued and weakened, then she would bring out the droids. She had to wait. Just a moment longer, for the perfect moment to hit them.

 

She waited for the fool Jedi to pass her. They continued away from her position. Oh, they knew she was there, but where, little Jedi, where was she? Her eye twitched. The Force surged around her and built to a cresendo; it deafened her, nearly blinded her and pushed her on.

 

NOW.

 

Leaping out of her hiding spot, Nalaen took up an attack position, slightly hunched, one bent leg sprawled across from the other. She balanced on her hind leg as the hilt of her sabre leapt to her palm, humming almost frantically as it boiled out in twin blades of red. She grinned and used the Force to propel her lunge as she leapt, going for a death blow.

Blaze jerked up as he saw the Major and a decent sized group of commandos' and some ARC Trooppers. Blaze approached them, not saying a word he listened to what the Major had to say.

 

Blaze nodded as the Major finished, he turned and looked towards the foundry, he saw clones charging it, obviously the common squad, the tanks would not be far behind.

 

"Idiots, this foundry was supposed to be a covert operation, that ijit Fi!" He said angrily. Obviously this whole mission was an idiots bumbrush, no planning had been involved in it's decision. The mission was simple, spec ops stayed a safe distance back, special weapons went around back, common squad surrounded the front and sides. After one of the three commando squads reported to spec ops, then spec ops would move in, taking out any primary inner defenses. Then they were to report to him, and he'd move in destroying the foundry from the outside, until tanks got there, then the special weapons forces would move into the foundry to aid the spec ops.

 

And in all this the common forces were supposed to stay away until droids started moving outside the foundry, that's when they would move in to prevent any retreat of the droids, or to keep the spec ops and special weapons escape routes clear.

 

But the dumbnut, Fi, had jumped the gun, and went against plans...great, another mistake he'd have to pull him out of, then he knew Shade would have to pull them bothh out!

 

Blaze turned to the Major, "change of plans, no more secrecy, Fi ruined that, time to call Shade, we'll be heading out." At this Blaze turned, he motioned to the two ARCs and two commando pods ((that's eight commandos')) , then fell in behind him. Then Blaze turned to two Firestorm Troopers like himself, and two Galactic Marines those four falling in behind him as well.

 

While Blaze did this the Major turned away and put his hand up to his helmet. His antenna extended slightly, and with this he sent an encoded message to Shade. Shade and Major had worked together many times, they had learned how to communicate in their own terms, or language you might say, so if anyone picked up the transmission, and decoded it, it's sound like no language any sentient being, whether robot or not, would understand.

 

Blaze opened up the comm to all his troops, "All units, commander Fi screwed up, mission has changed a bit, all units, supoort Fi's men, charge the foundry, when you find an entrance, use it! MOVE MOVE MOVE!!" He shouted through the comm, his entire battalion giving a warrior's salute, which was putting your fist to your chest, in one fluid move, all together, then they charged, giving cries as they went from the cover of the trees to the open area around the foundry.

 

Blaze turned to the Major, noddded, and walked off, the men he had told to follow him, keeping with him in near perfection. The Major, however, did not follow, instead he started running off towards a large hill where he could better send and receive messages.

 

Blaze jogged out of the tree cover, only to find his battalion, and the common forces charging at an empty field...there were little to no droids or defenses, and if there were any, they were quickly being dessimated, or already destroyed.

 

Blaze growled into his helmet, their cover broken over something so idioticly fruitless. But his battalion didn't wait around, he didn't know about the common forces, but his men were entering through holes in the walls, doors, or grappling themselves upward into the upper levels.

 

Blaze, however, went in throgh the main doors, where no one else seemed to want to be going through. Blaze searched around...he saw familiar heat-footprints...yes, they were the large prints of commandos'. Blaze decided these were one of the commando squads sent ahead of the main force, and decided to follow the heat-prints.

 

After some time tracking the prints he came to a bend in the hall, he looked around, he was a little lost, the heat of the prints were quickly dissapating. He backtracked, only to come upon the carnage of battle. He kept going, taking little time to examine the corpses he knew were common clone soldiers.

 

Then something peculiar happened, he was lost for sure, but still willing to find the squad of commandos' when he went around a corner, just to find what he was looking for. A squad of commandos', only they were struggling around abit, as if they were punched, hard.

 

Blaze made a motion with his hand, he was no commando, but he's commanded them before, and had practically memorised their signals and movements. The two commando squads were first to react, the ARCs not far behind, while the other soldiers had a slight delay, but they figured it out eventually. The soldiers moved forward, preventing the further progression of the charging sith. They opened fire, so many laser went towards that sith, he'd have to be God to deflect them all. Blaze knew the sith would do one of three things; die, stop-survive-and be injured, or retreat.

 

He was hoping for the first, but he knew no sith was stupid enough to keep charging, or for that matter, stay there, so he expected him to retreat. But if he didn't, Firestorm troopers had a weapon NO sith could deflect, fire!!!

 

Blaze, however, decided to check on the commandos' before he joined in. He walked over to one, knelt down a bit and tapped the commandos' helmet. "You okay there soldier?" He said in his Jango accent, though his pitch and tone were higher than the original Jango's voice.

Tekla felt the sith behind him, igniting his blade as he ignited his. He put his blade up to stop the attack only to be knocked to the ground sliding a few meters from him. He then looked at the Sith and realised that he wasn't even a guy, "Your...your a girl?" he said more shocked than in pain, as he almost got his head cut in half by her. "I was expecting.....well a guy." He slowly stood up ffrom the powerful blow.

Slindigh drew his lightsabers and made slash at the sith before leapin away. So this was the sith they were after. He sized her up. Looked powerful, bloodthirsty, the whole kit... this was going to be hard, even with her against two (exellent, in his opinion) Jedi. Maybe they'd get some clone help. But they could beat her. He summoned the Force to his side.

Al had had better days. He felt like bantha poodoo and was sure he was going to die. In fact, he could see ARCs. He must have been dead and in some place between the galaxy and haran. For this was no vision of heaven to him, with their holier-than-thou attitudes and hi-I'm-gonna-kill-you's. And those kamase . . . though in his inner workings he kinda wish he had one -- and truth be told, really glad to see them now that he had faced the Sith. Anyway, kamase told everyone you were bad-ass, and that was sometimes more handy than a DC-17. Speaking of which. He groaned, trying to lift his arm to make sure his weapon was alright even as his eyes flickered across his HUD to check his squadmates.

 

A finger descended into his helmet. He almost shrieked, eyes going wide as he let out a little gurgle. A voice filtered through his comm as the finger tapped the T-visor, and Al relaxed, recognising the voice: it was his own. Almost.

 

"Yeah," he tried to growl, it coming out as a bit of a gasp, "we're fine." Struggling, he sat up and held his head in his hand for a moment. "RC-7484," he muttered absentmindedly as he stood, brushing himself off as his fellows did the same. "K'atini," he added. It's only pain . . . Then he put two fingers to his helmet in a salute, standing stock straight, ignoring the screaming of his muscles and the sharp pains in his back. Those would fade, or at least, a little bacta would help it along.

 

The other three of his team gathered around, looking much in the same state he was. Whatever that Sith had done had not been nice. And the ground hadn't been very forgiving either, which hadn't helped the problem.

 

"Alright sir," Al started after his breath had come back and one of the other troops had jabbed a syringe through the black bodysuit nearly into his collarbone, "what do we do about this Sith? My orders are to take all of them out before the droids. They seem to be luring us in to slaughter us personally so they don't waste the droids before the war. At least, that's my assessment." He almost gave a weak shrug, but didn't. He really wanted another mind on this, a superior officer, or a lot of them. "Those ARCs and spec-troops should do nicely," he added, sounding almost chipper. "Got any Nulls?" he tacked on, his voice going wary. "Only psychopaths could take out these Sith."

 

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

 

Nalaen allowed herself an indulgence as she struck out at the Jedi on the floor. She giggled and stepped back, the Force pinging in her mind. There was a second Jedi. The one on the floor stood as the other (from the sense of him, the Master) ignited his sabres. They crackled and hissed. Nalaen grinned ear-to-ear. Oh this was going to be fun. And the poor thing even had two sabres. My my, he was really out to impress.

 

The Force surged through her and she bent double, bringing herself around gracefully and out of the arc of the Jedi's attack. She clucked her tongue chidingly as he leapt away; she then shook her head in a mock-woeful manner, affecting a little pout.

 

"Now how'm I gonna play with you when you jump away like that?" she whined, the girlish fascade belying the rage she was slowly building around her to better fuel her attacks. It amazed her how often Jedi tried to turn her because she was female, rather than killing her because she was the enemy. Putting on a bit of a show always helped too, usually giving her time to gather her strength and make her stronger. One with the Force.

 

His confidence startled her, but it was the futile confidence of those who knew they were going to die. He had no choice but to lie to himself, thinking he could win no matter what. What else was he going to do? She smiled now, but it was feral, wicked as her eyes glinted. She could feel him surrounding himself with the Force and it excited her. He wanted a full-blown battle. Oh she'd give it to him.

 

So she struck out at the apprentice, driving hard with her twin blades, parrying and lashing out as the Force swirled around her, fueling her with calm hatred. She was the eye of a storm, the centre of chaotic reign. Her blades were a blur as she pounded the apprentice, using him to lure in the real prey.

Don't let her fluster you, Slindigh reminded Tekla, rock solid. He focused on the Sith movements, adn realized she wasn't out to kill his apprentice. Great, that meant she was trying to kill him. But he still did have his vobroblades, which might give him a surprise, although their advantage wouldn't be as good against a sith. But he had to help Tekla. He waited for the right moment, then did something he had only ever done as an arrogent Jedi: he threw on of his knives. She couldn't block the knife and push back Tekla's initiative again at the same time.

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

Fi was getting flustered. He'd met up with Blaze who had told him it was supposed to be a stealth mission. Stealth! THIS was what happened when two parts of an army had slightly different strategies! The battle was not going well. They didn't have a single thing left that could fly for recconissance, but he could tll pretty easy. His tanks wouldn't be able to keep of the CIS fighters cor long, and half his troops were down. As a last resort he called the men to get into the fortress. Heavy explosives wouldn't be used on them in there, at least. He had grappled onto the roof and was leading a commando squad, well, he didn't really know where he was going as his radar had broken, which ticked him off, when he stumbled into a roomful of droids. They all hit the deck and got rid of those. "Split up and find out what's important enough to have guards this deep within the building!" Fi ordered.

XD v12 waite until the last of the tanks had departed before activating his repair systems. Magnetic tendrils reached out across the field, drawing his scattered limbs back to his chassis. Liquid metal was guided through his skeletal structure to damaged sections, fusing limbs back together and repairing armor. An energy pulse shot through him solidifying it.

 

As he got to his feet he experimentally flexed his robotic limbs. Diagnostics showed all systems at normal, so he moved down to XD v9. It was heavily damaged, but not irreperable. Tapping into his magnetics package he guided the severed leg back into place, then removing one of the liquid metal containers reatached it. It was far from combat ready, the shields were destroyed, its weapon torn off as it had been tumbled over the ground, but it could still move at 65% efficiancy and would get XD v12 back to the foundry much more quikly than on his own two legs.

 

Mounting up they set off. A need for revenge burned in XD v12, all those who had dared oppose him would be made to suffer, and denying them the foundry was as good a place to start as any.

(((Okay, I was waiting to post because I have nothing for Al at the moment, but I decided I could still post for Nalaen.)))

 

Something glinted in the air. Being engaged in a sabre duel with random projectiles was not a good thing. Nalaen had a split-second decision to make; using the Force, she felt everything around her slow, just long enough to concentrate and make her move. She leapt upwards and back, away from the apprentice, loathing to retreat from a fight, but knowing she had no choice. It was that, or be badly wounded or killed. So they had some tactics. It just made the battle more interesting.

 

Landing on the ground a few metres away from her prey, Nalaen snarled, hunkering low to the floor, ready for a spring attack. The blade had nearly hit her, almost too close a call for any sort of relief, even when it clattered against the ground, skidding to a stop down the hall. That had certainly been an interesting Jedi trick. She didn't know they could be so bloodthirsty. It amused her.

 

Gathering the Force to her, she focused on the apprentice, knowing she didn't have much time to press her attack. He would have the advantage if she waited much longer. Dodging forward, using the Force to speed her movements, she lashed out with her double-blades, needing to get rid of these pesky Jedi.
