Chapter 3

As we began to enter the combat zone we were quickly blitzed by buzz droids and vulture droids. (We've got buzz droids, everyone Delta-Sigma charlie.) (But, general we haven't practiced that maneuver.) (Don't trust me or the outer force trust in the inner force. Eighty Eight." "Understood sir." As the attack squadron and I pulled up and dived back down into a barrel roll and 180 degree turn we blasted those buzz droids and a couple of vulture droids. (Hell yeah!) (Don't get lazed so early Axil. We've still got to take out the dreadnaught while me and the boarding party take on the flagship.) (Sorry general Zarik, it won't happen again.)

I just chuckled to myself and blasted the hanger bay shields out as me and Eighty Eight and his strike team crash landed in the hanger bay taking a few B-1 and B-2 battle droids with the entrance. As the cockpit to my starfighter opened up I ejected myself from the seat and up in the air I drew my light whip and twirled it infront of me blocking in coming blaster bolts I received covering fire from Eighty Eight and two more unknown clones as I landed in between an encirclement of B-1 security battle droids. I sighed regrettably then deactivated my light whip and drew out my shimmering silver lightsaber and threw my lightsaber cutting off the heads of the entire encirclement of B-1 security battle droids. "Master General Zarik sir, we've received word that the tatical droid leading this blockade is held up on the bridge surrounded by magna-guards and Commando droids." Eighty-Eight commented walking up next to me.

I looked over to the other ten unnamed clones. "You, what are your names." "Velocity." "Vibration." "Eel." "Nill." "Gunsar." "Surge" "Electric." "Lime" "Gold." "Xan." I smiled and thanked them. "Surge, Electric, Velocity, Xan. Secure the rest of the hanger bay and set up a camp medical droid here. Eel, Nill, Lime, and Gold I need you four to sweep the first 5 lower levels and head to the engine room and set some charges. Eighty-Eight, Vibration, Gunsar you're with me. Also we're in radio silence and we meet back here after our objectives are complete." "Sir, Yes Sir!"

Me and my team began to head the bridge when droidekas and super battle droids began to block our path. "Eighty-Eight how do you want to handle these odds?" "There's a small choke point we can use just between us and the rollers but we need to have someone play as decoy. "Gunsar, I need you to take point. Me, Eighty-Eight, and Vibration will cover you from behind." "Are you sure that's a good idea general?" "Trust me, we've got this." I smiled at Eighty-Eight." Gunsar began to move up further while me and the others fell back by a small margin. Gunsar did a wall run and a forward roll into a vibro-sword double slash just before the droidekas shields went up. "He just took out two rollers." Vibration commented.

"Heads up, five super battle droids on your right." Vibration stopped just two corridor walls before the enemy ambush and tossed a droid popper causing them to shut down and finished them off with a couple of well placed blaster bolts. (Just like a well oiled machine I trust these clones...no. my friends with my life but I can't shake these dark feelings from them.) That's when a Commando droid jumped down from the ceiling and landed on top of me. The commando droid began to draw its Vibro-sword when Eighty-Eight tackled it off of me and drew his vibro-knuckle blades then he gave a flurry of downward punches then chopped off the commando droids head off. "Thanks Eighty-Eight." "I'll follow you to the unknown regions of space and back sir." Eighty-Eight helped me up and we began to continue forward to the command post.
