Spartan In Star Wars - Chapter 64

Diesel instantly fired into the droid without hesitating and immediately began deciphering the new droid. He noticed that it was much taller and bulkier, the armor was much more blaster resistant considering the bolts did nothing. Not even slowing down the droid. He began quickly thinking of possible weaknesses.

*Diesel Thoughts*

Blasters ineffective? Front? Impossible two much armor. Hunter? Back? Where though? It must be slow.

*End*

According to every recording that the Mammoth-00 uploaded into its system the Spartan was far more likely to attack him from the front completely overestimating its ability to fight completely head on. However, It quickly realized that that wasn’t the case the Spartan slid right under the legs of the it and was firing underneath all of the forward plates completely bypassing the bulkier portions of the armor.

Finishing his slide Diesel turned his focus back onto the Ventress who was allowed a moment to recover. Deciding he should focus on the enemy leader over a droid. Sadly, he made a mistake. The Mammoth unit was much faster than he anticipated. He saw the shadow appear behind him. So he attempted to return his focus back to the Mammoth. Before he could he was clocked on his side launching him into a group of battle droids.

Although he was sent flying by Mammoth-00 he was able to flip back onto his feet sustaining very little damage. The only good thing about this outcome was that both Ventress and Mammoth-00 were on one side and he was caught between the two of them anymore. Being completely surrounded no longer being able to run. He completely focused on destroying every possible enemy he could; any battle droid that was unlucky enough to cross their path on their way back to each other were erased from existence.

Meanwhile, Ventress sat and watched attempting to recover. She watched as the Spartan was fighting the Mammoth on equal grounds. Actually, watching a little closer the Spartan seemed to have the upper hand. Like he knew that where the weakness of the droid was from the very beginning. The reaction speed and learning speed of Mammoth allowed him to keep going. For each failed attempt to block the Spartan it was returned with knowledge for Mammoth this would only make the Mammoth unit stronger.

Eventually, Mammoth began landing hits onto Diesel and each hit felt like a truck hitting him. Diesel has been fighting for almost 20hours straight with minimum rest. Ever since he was surrounded he was using any excess stamina that he could. If not for his training as a child he would have been killed already.

Ventress rejoined the fighting, making Diesel life even harder. He had to focus on blocking the saber over everything else. Reigniting his energy sword he blocked attack after attack from Ventress while receiving death blows from Mammoth-00 that would kill anything that it hit. Again he was knocked back a few feet. Ventress tried to take this opportunity and launch a quick strike on Diesel, but he was able to catch his balance and deliver a sweeping blow knocking her over. This allowed Diesel and a few seconds to dodge an incoming blow from Mammoth wrapping around to its back. He deactivated his Sword flipping to his MBR and placed the battle right into the back of the Mammoth finally breaking through the armor. Although it was disabled it was now damaged.

It was then that the Republic forces finally were able to catch up. Transport sh.i.p.s by the dozens appeared on the horizon and destroyed the perimeter that the droid had set up. Black troopers launched from the transports joining the battle right away their goal was to draw as much attention as they could away from Diesel. The Transports began landing, releasing the Jedi and the standard troopers.

Ventress noticed all this happening and ordered the droids to turn towards the troopers and began engaging. Looking towards Mammoth she ordered it to retreat from the battlefield so both her and the Mammoth unit turned in an attempt to leave the area. Diesel, wasn’t gonna have it and immediately began chasing after her but being forced to fight battle droids along the way they slowly were able to escape the battlefield. He turned and returned his focus towards the battlefield. He began cleansing it from any remaining droids.

*A couple hours later*

“Diesel are you okay?”

Turning towards Kenobi he kept his mouth shut and began walking towards one of the transport sh.i.p.s holding the 300th units. Getting on he ordered the return to HQ.

“Master, why did he refuse to answer the question and was rude to Master Kenboi.”

“Ahsoka, why do you think? He was left fighting for two hours before anyone arrived to help. While he fought that entire army by himself. Yet we were still forced back on the frontlines.”

“How is a Non-Jedi able to fight like that? I don’t even think a Jedi can fight like that?”

“I don’t know, all I can tell you is that he’s one of three Spartans that we know of and each one I wouldn’t wish to fight.”
