chapter 41

Felucia

Red team was currently driving in a warthog as they came under heavy fire from the defending clones.  While Jerome was driving through the hail of blaster fire. Alice was on the mounted machine gun tearing them to pieces while Douglas was shooting them with a four barreled rocket launcher from the passenger seat.

There was a few republic tanks that were in their way, but they were quickly taken out by Douglas and his rocket launcher.

The further they went through their lines the more clones appeared trying their best to stop them, but with no success. While they were going after the Jedi. The rest of their forces were going to keep pushing forward on the republic and what was left of the separatist forces.

"I'm starting to like these straight forward fights. No need to hold back." Alice says as she quickly rotates the gun killing any clone that appears in her crosshairs.

"Your just saying that because it gives you a chance to show off." Douglas says as the warthog jumps in the air before Jerome drifts it in a squad of clones.

"I can neither confirm nor deny that." Alice says back.

After a few more minutes they finally spot their target. The Jedi was currently ordering her troops as they set up defenses. They notice that the Jedi was a blue Twi'lek wearing cloths that partially exposed parts of her body.

For the Spartans it was a little hard to believe that this Jedi was a general. Especially since most of their generals were in the front lines and something like that for them would never happen. But they were in a different galaxy and their chain of command was going to be completely different from them. Not that they were complaining.

"The targets up ahead. Remember. We are taking her back alive." Jerome says as he turns the vehicle to the side as they all jump out guns firing.

Hearing the gunfire the Jedi quickly turns to the three Spartans activating her blue lightsaber as the clones around her open fire on them. Alice being the first one to get in combat jumps over a clone firing her gun into him as she lands on another clone crushing him under her.

Douglas follows behind her with two of his submachine guns as he fires them in different directions taking out a few of them. As the two of them start to quickly run towards the Jedi the Twi'lek also runs toward them with her lightsaber raised before jumping at them.

Alice being the first one she strikes at quickly dodges her attacks before rolling backwards as she takes out two short humbler stun devices which was made with beskar steel. They were specifically made to combat a Jedi if they needed to subdue one.

Douglas on the other hand gets side tracked by the numerous amounts of clones that focus their fire on him. One of them gets the bright idea of coming behind him and try and tackle him, only for him to get caught by his helmet and tossed in the air by the Spartan.

"Surround him, but don't get close to him." One of the clones say.

Following his orders some of the clones try and encircle him, but with almost no success since the speed

With many of them either focusing on Alice or Douglas, they fail to notice the last Spartan Jerome moving towards some of the tanks that were neatly parked along side each other.

There was a few clones trying to get one operated, but Jerome quickly arrives over them with a shotgun before firing at them. The impact from the gun immediately tears them apart from the force and their armor was also torn apart. As he finishes the crew on the tank he hopes on the top turret as he rotates it towards the clones that were trying to surround Douglas.

Firing the main cannon of the tank he quickly kills a huge portion of them since most of them were near each other. Seeing that they were going to stand no chance with these tactics they decide to split apart as they use the terrain as cover.

The Jedi that was fighting Alice turns her head at the dead clones as her eyes widen in shock. Seeing multiple of her men get killed like this pained her and she didn't want to see this anymore.

"No!"

She was about to jump back to save her men, but had no choice but to block multiple attacks from Alice as she uses this moment to keep her in place. While she was dealing with the Jedi the rest of her team would eliminate the clones in the area, but it would have to be fast. It wouldn't be long until more of them showed up and this mission would be even harder for them if this did happen.

As the jedi feels the life of her most trusted men drain her focus on her well being starts to lessen and Alice quickly uses this as she finally gets a hit on her. Stunning her badly the Jedi grits her teeth in pain before swinging her lightsaber at alice as she dodges her attack and hits her again as she screams in pain not being able to hold it in.

Quickly swiping her lightsaber diagonally Alice quickly falls to the ground as she kicks her legs making her fall. Before she is able to do anything else the Jedi somehow was able to recover and jump over Alice as the two swing at each other. Once the Jedi lands a few meters of space is between them and the adrenaline that the Jedi had starts to go away.

The Jedi now out of the Spartans grasp stumbles a little as she clutches her side from the two stuns that she had received. Hissing in pain she looks at what was left of the men that was still alive.

The few remaining clones hearing her screams from earlier tried to make a path towards her, but the two Spartans immediately stop them in their tracks. Each time one of them got out of cover they were almost immediately shot in the head and that cover was slowly starting to be destroyed by the Spartan that was on one of their tanks.

Seeing that her men wasn't going to last long until they got help, she decided to give her self in if it meant that her men would no longer be slaughtered by these people.

"Stop! It's me you want isn't it?! Let my men leave an I'll go with you willingly." She says as the battlefield starts to wind down after hearing her.

"General. With all due respect that is something we cannot do. We're not leaving you here." One of the clones say as he hides under cover.

"That is an order commander. Meet up with the rest of our forces and defend yourselves."

"...yes general."the clone says as he gives orders to the rest of his troops to fall back.

After the long pause the clones start to quickly retreat taking anything that could help them later with them.

"May the force be with you." She whispers before turning her head at the Spartans.

"What do you Terrans want with me. You already killed many of our kind yet you want me alive. Why is that?" the Jedi says with no fear in her eyes.

"Your going to find out very soon. But it's time for you to go to sleep." one of them says before the butt of a weapon connects to her head knocking her out as her world goes black.

With the marines and mandalorians they were setting up base and the numerous amounts of ships from the spirit of fire was the backbone in creating it.

The sun was going down and it wasn't going to be long until it was dark. In the front lines the marines were making last minute defenses on their side in case the enemy tried to make a night attack on them.

As they were almost finished a few marines had started to relax a little with their guns put to the side. Some of them were even joking around.

"There was this one time where I ran out of grenades, so I threw my lunch..."

"...please shut up. That is the dumbest thing you said today so far." One of the marines say.

"What! It really happened!"

"At this point, i'm surprised i've hadn't lost braincells yet."

"Hey! What is that supposed to mean!"

As they continue to joke around they fail to notice the few movements in a body of water near them. While all of them didn't hear the few splashes of water one of the marines hear it.

Taking his gun with him he slowly approaches the water, but sees nothing before thinking it might of been some wild animal or fish.

Just as he was about to walk away a six legged creature jumps out of the water and clamps it's jaws on his arm before pulling him up trying to eat him. The marine drops his weapon as he screams in agony before using his other arm to to break free from the creature.

The rest of the marines hearing the commotion runs towards the marines screams to see a disgusting creature trying to eat him.

Without hesitation they all shoot at the creature making sure they don't hit the marine. Once a few bullets hit the creature it screams out in pain dropping the marine before running off in the muddy water.

A few of the marines run towards the wounded marine checking to see if he was still alive. The creature had completely tore off his left arm and his blood was soaking up the ground. A few of the marines in the back were freaking out a little.

"What the fuck was that! You telling me we have to deal with man eating creatures like that our entire stay!"

"That was an acklay." A mandalorian says walking up behind them as the marines turn, looking at him.

"If he survives, he'll be lucky. They don't usually go straight for the bite, but stab you with their pincers making sure you're dead first." The mandalorian says.

"Oh great! Another infested planet. Instead of mind controlling creatures they swapped it for man eating ones." One of the marines grumbles to himself.

The mandalorian seems to look at him weirdly before looking at the rest of them.

"I suggest you be alarmed at all times. Especially at night. That's when the more dangerous ones comes out." He says before walking off.

Tatooine

Noble team along with Waneta were currently making their way towards different hideouts that gangs and criminal warlords were operating in.

Their task was to eliminate every single one of them. They knew that once the hutts were gone, that many rival gangs and crime lords were going to use their downfall as a way for them to gain even more power and influence on the planet and even the galaxy.

But they also was doing this to gain more information about four other crime syndicates that was gaining power. They didn't know the names of three of them, but they kept hearing about one of them that was floating about. They kept saying something about the black suns.

But their main focus for now was the hutts and their plans to start a revolt.

Currently Noble team was spilt into two teams. Carter, Kat, Jorge, and Waneta was in one group while six, Jun, and Emile was on the other group.

Waneta had requested to be switched out with someone and be with six since she claimed to work better with him, but Carter denied her request saying that he wanted his eyes on her himself. He still didn't fully trust her even though six had approved her being on the team.

But even then he still had trust issues with six because of secrets he still hadn't told them, but his time on the team made up for it.

At one of the hideouts Waneta was leaning against the wall as Jorge got ready to smash through the door once his explosives went off.

With a loud boom Jorge, Carter, and kat ran into the building killing everyone that was considered hostile in the room. Waneta simply walked in not wanting to get in the way.

Three of the criminals run at her shooting their guns at her, but she simply deflects the shoots back at two of them while cutting the head off of the other.

"Idiots. If your going to shoot someone, why charge at them." She mutter to herself.

Walking through the piles of dead bodies that the Spartans left behind she walks up to Carter beating the hell out of the last thug which was the leader of this small gang. They came here for him since it was said he knew more about the big gang rivals on Tatooine and other planets.

"Your only making this more painful for yourself. Tell me the information I need and it will end." Carter says punching him which he was holding most of his force back, but even than it looked like a few more was going to actually kill him.

"I know an easier way to get the information from him if you allow me." Waneta asks Carter.

Carter throws the man down before stepping aside for Waneta to do what she wanted to him.

Getting face to face with him she waves her hand in front of his face.

"You will tell me the information I want." She says.

"I...will tell you the information you want."

Standing up with a small smirk she looks at Carter.

"What you want me to tell him?"

"Hmph. Nice one kid. This would have made our missions from earlier a whole lot easier." Jorge says.

"Let's get this over with. Once we're done. We're blowing this place up." Carter says before turning to waneta.

"Let's get started."
