SW - Clone Of The Force - III

Chapter III
Arriving On Geonosis
_______________________

All the clones were lining up. The time had come. Years of breeding and training lead to this day.

A voice was heard, echoing throughout the tannoy systems in the Kamino landing bays, as the armies marched and boarded the Republic Cruisers. They marched without fear or excitement or anticipation. They didn't march because they wanted to. They marched because they had to. It was the only life they new. War was their destiny. Geonosis had revealed it was creating a separatist army, powerful enough to threaten the republic, a republic that must be fought for.

Palpatine: You are the Grand Army Of The Republic. You fight for the republic, and your brothers and me. You will cleanse Geonosis of it's filth and send a message to the separatists. None shall stand against us.

Yin was suited in his white republic armour. It was shiny, comfortable and a perfect fit. No one dared talk whilst the cruiser took off. It was not a day for chat. The officers and commanders looked more serious than usual.

The inside of the cruiser was almost completely pitch black. The clones were standing, grabbing on to some support netting above them.

Commander Rex: Listen up! Today means everything. We received the best training because we will receive the most difficult missions and objectives. Am I proud of you? No. You must prove your skills and wit and courage. That is what the 501st Legion is all about, that is what this army is all about! Do I make myself clear?!

501ST: Sir! Yes Sir!

Rex: You will be shocked when entering Geonosis. The temperatures are dramatically hotter. There will be creatures of which you have never seen before. It won't be as clean and pure as our home. You could not find a more opposite planet to Kamino....well maybe Mustafar.

Some of the men started laughing. They had researched many planets in their life, some frightening, others mysterious and some were considered beautiful. Any planet would be considered beautiful compared to the white, spotless halls of Kamino.

Rex: Remember this my 501st! When in doubt, think back to your training, trust your instincts and help your brothers.

The men started cheering.

Yin looked around then pulled out his communicator he made himself.

Yin: Yang...Yang are you there?

A whispering Yang responded.

Yang: What? We shouldn't be talking, we'll get into trouble.

Yin: I know..it's just...Be careful OK.

Yang let out a sigh.

Yang: You too brother.

Yin: Have they given you your objectives yet?

Yang: Delta Squad have the best mission...Nerf Herders.....Our Squad has to capture some of the separatist leaders. Count Dooku....Poggle The Lesser....Shouldn't be too difficult. All you have to do is keep the enemy back and let us do our job. Hopefully we could end the war before it begins.

Yin: Well...Let's hope we can.

Yang: I've got to go, insert the chip from the communicator in the transmitter slot in your helmet. We can stay in touch.

Yin: Good idea. See you on the other side Yang.

The ship came to a stop and lights came on.

Rex: Ok men, line up and get into these ships, I want 5-7 per ship,not including the pilot, OK Go!

The 501st lined up and got into the smaller ships. The ships then left the cruiser and made their way down to the planet.

The heatwave took the clones off guard for a second but only a second. A hologram of Rex appeared in the middle of the ship.

Rex: OK Listen up troopers. The separatists have captured a few Jedi and one Senator, our job is to get them out alive, they are located here in this coliseum. They are well guarded. I have men working on braking down their communications. Good luck.

They were flying for 10 minutes before the walls of their ship opened. They grabbed held to the support roped tightly as the descended faster. The coliseum could be seen and it looked very populated. Yin sat down and pulled out a sniper rifle and looked.

He could see hundreds of droids and lots of dead Jedi. He could see a circle of Jedi, surrounded by the droids. The droids appeared in defensive formation. As they descended lower, the droids cocked their weapons and at their prisoners.

Yin knew they would have to fire a shot quickly to get the separatist attention before executing their hostages.

Relax, your instincts you must trust.

Yin turned around and saw a small green creature standing behind him, he was wearing Jedi robes.

Yin: What?

Trust in the force and prevail you will.

Yin: Who are you?

Yoda: Master Yoda, of the Jedi Council.

Yoda's ears straitened up. He closed his eyes and stood still.

Yoda: I sense a powerful presence.

Yoda opened his eyes and stared at Yin for a second.

Yin: Yes off course, they said we were assigned to a Jedi, I guess I didn't see you that's all.

Yoda: It matters not, the matter at hand, your concern is.

Yin stared at the strange creature for a second and then turned around and continued observing the battlefield below.

Whilst at his position, Yoda stared at Yin, he could sense something odd about him.

As Yin took aim he saw a woman wearing white, with cuts down her back, she looked up and appeared to look directly at him, even though he could only see her face through a sniper.

She mouthed something and everyone in the coliseum looked up.

They had made contact.

Red, blue and green blaster bolts were seen in every direction. The separatist were overwhelmed.
