Nightmare

The clones defending Kamino all saw the Gonzati-class cruiser take off, and most of them worried thinking that an air attack was coming. Only a few knew it was Dageer controlling the enemy ship, those being General Di, Commander Keeli, Hell Squad and the clones in charge of the anti-aircraft turrets.

So when the ship they thought it was an enemy fired and destroyed one of its own, they were astonished, to say the least.

Commander Keeli waved a sigh of relief, but his expression soon turned dark once he saw Dageer and Berro taking a lot of fire from the second cruiser. Even when they destroyed the second cruiser his face didn't light up.

Commander Keeli was no engineer, but even a child could see that Dageer's cruiser was doomed. And then Commander Keeli screamed when Dageer did the second unexpected thing of the day.

"What!!! Dageer, you... All troops, fall back! Fall back!!!"

The Gonzati-class cruiser, sixty meters long, hundreds of tons heavy, came crashing down into the droid infantry troops. Be it B1 battle droids, B2 super battle droids, Droidekas or Dwarf-Spider droids, all of them were crushed immediately.

The bridge where the cruiser crashed bent under the strength of weight and speed combined. For a few seconds it seemed as if it would resist, but then cracks appeared and the bridge broke in many pieces. Not only that, but the nearby bridges and platforms all fell due to the momentum of the ship.

With thunderous sounds, cruiser, bridges, platforms, and droids were dragged into the sea, starting waves dozens of meters tall.

-----------------------

Dageer fell into the water once again, but this time the impact was much bigger, and his consciences started fading away.

Dageer saw flashes of grey and green, and what might have been some B1 battle droids, as well as clones.

Something or someone started pulling him. He tried to resist but realized he couldn't move his body. Things started to get darker and darker, and he passed out.

------------------------

Shadows hiding into shadows. An eerie laugh resounded.

Brain, Tech, Three-four, Cell, Dab, Metal, Commander Keeli appeared. Dageer tried to reach them, but blue lightning zapped and they were gone.

Then his old squad leader, CT-4087 and many of his dead brothers appeared in his vision. This time, when the lighting passed they didn't disappear, but slowly turned into a hooded black figure.

The many figures became a giant one, and terrifying chuckles came off the dark hood. Things started to spin in and out, black becoming red, and red becoming black. Dageer was spinning faster and faster, red and black flashes making him want to close his eyes, but he wasn't able to.

The chuckles turned to a hoarse voice saying the same phrase over and over.

"Kill jedi... kill jedi... kill jedi... kill jedi... kill jedi... kill jedi... kill jedi... kill jedi... kill jedi... kill jedi... kill jedi... kill jedi..."

Dageer woke up.

-------------------------

Dageer reached to his left side with his right hand, looking for his blaster, but it wasn't there. Only then he looked around and recognized the beds and bacta tanks of Kamino infirmary.

A female kaminoan, with its long neck who was near another bed, where a wounded clone was, saw him trying to sit and came to him.

"Don't get up trooper... you have... a fractured rib..."

Obviously, it was only when she said that, that he felt the pain on his abdomen. But he had suffered worst injuries.

"Where is Berro?"

"I don't know who... Berro is, trooper, but Commander Keeli... said that I was to... call him as soon as you... woke up."

"Then call him please."

"Already... did that. Wait for... moment please."

The kaminoan went back to the injured clone from before, and Dageer spent the next few minutes looking at some of his unconscious brothers.

Soon Commander Keeli and Hell Squad came in, and the first thing that happened was a bunch of them talking at the same time. When they finally stopped Commander Keeli spent the next ten minutes scolding and congratulating him at the same time.

At last Dageer discovered that they had won and that the Separatist had been beaten back, not without taking a bite out of the clone forces. The installations that the 303rd was protecting stayed safe, but others weren't able to stop the droid invasion groups, and the death toll of soldiers, cadets and embryos was in the dozens of thousands.
