Spartan In Star Wars - Chapter 41
–Petranaki Arena–
Anakin watched the situation that seemed to be hopefully he turned to his master seeking advice on what he should do. Only for him to get a weird response, he flips his head towards Padme who was on top of the pillar. Believing she was safe he returned his focus on the three horned beast. He ends up escaping having the beast rip his chains from the post. While Kenobi’s upper chains were cut by the Mantis looking beast, leaving his hands chained together. Anakin on the other hand saves Padme after she receives a scratch on her back by the wolf looking beast, by crushing it with the tamed horned one. (1)
The small battle went on until wolf was killed. Leaving Kenobi to the Mantis while Anakin and Padme were riding the horned beast. Having enough of the situation Count Dooku, sent Droidekas in surrounding them.
*Swish*
Turning around Count Dooku sees Mace Windu. “Master Windu, how pleasant it is for you to join us.”
“This party is over.” Jedi all across the arena began igniting their lightsabers,
“Brave but foolish my old Jedi friend your impossibly outnumbered”
“I don’t think so.”
“Well see.”
Battledroids began appearing all over the area, with some appearing behind Mace making him lose focus and start protecting himself against blaster fire. With Jango returning to the fray, Mace was forced to join the rest of the Jedi down below inside the arena. The battle slowly started putting the Jedi on their back foot.
“Time is why the Jedi should have just listened to me. Surrender? What a joke, 300th Battalion it’s time to save some clueless Jedi. Captain Cross and Razer take your units to the South wall and hold clear it we will have Jedi retreat that way. Captain Rex and Waltz, on use we will engage, No casualties are allowed.”
Very quickly the Brigade of the four Captains descended from the upper levels from the south of the arena clearing the droids extremely fast. The efficiency they used to clear out the hundreds of droids on the southern upper levels was insane. Saving a couple Jedi who turned and jumped towards the Jedi in the center to help relieve the blaster fire.
Reaching the Arena wall Rex and his men began repelling down with little to no resistance. The Clones above provided enough cover for them to reach the bottom unharmed. Dom and Sophia just leaped from the top jumping all the wall down. The sounded echoed far louder then and blaster sound causing a momentary lapse in the gunfire.
“Shield units to the front! Phalanx Forward!” Sixty-four clones raised tower shields connecting themselves in a line. while another sixty-four took positioning in between the shield placing their guns in the small holes created by the shields. The two Spartans alongside both Captains walked behind cleaned up any droid or flying Geonosian. They left a path of destruction in their wake even killing the remaining beast.” Sophia give Diesel our location.” (2)
Meanwhile, as the southern part of the arena was being taken care of by the clones. Mace Window was engaged by Jango Fett. A duel between two noteworthy people took place. With the jetpack, Jango was allowed to keep his distance from Mace and he was able to put up a good fight. Even with the force Jango was talented enough to stop any killing blows. (3)
Noticing that his shots weren’t having any effect on Mace and were being deflected. Jango began aiming for his limbs to prevent. His shots to be deflected and hoping to have the Jedi make a mistake. The rest of the Jedi were slowly being pushed back. Almost being completely surrounded if it wasn’t for Dom and his clones. The numbers of the Jedi dwindled but they still had enough to be a force.
“What is it Captain Rex?”
“Commander permission to speak freely?”
“What have I said when you’re in the middle of a battle.”
“Sorry, Sir the Jedi are in the way. Permission to move them? They are in the way.”
“Go.”
Captain Rex moves forward with the help of a couple other troopers. He heads towards the Jedi crescent moon. “Jedi move behind the wall! You’re in the way!” Some of the Jedi Masters were insulted by the actions of the clone. But gritted their teeth and moved towards the Clone wall taking to the sides. The only Jedi that remained in the fray was Mace Windu who was stuck in a duel with Jango.
“Dom we’ve arrived.”
“Land north of these coordinates X:125 Y:198 you have breathing room for X:4 Y:8”
“I’m coming down.”
