STAR WARS: THE REPUBLIC CRUSADE.CHAPTER 1: TYTHON.
=============================================
"Sir, we're taking fire!" ZX-142 shouted. He swung his rifle around and shot a droid down. He ran over to his sergeant. The attack on the Tython Jedi Temple, the place where the Jedi first started, was under attack yet again. He crouched down beside his sergeant.
"Sir, we dont have enough men to hold the line." ZX-142 said. The sergeant stared at him, then gave the order for his squad to fall back. Overhead, a Jedi jumped above them, soaring high into the sky. His lightsaber ignited as soon as his feet touched the ground. The green beam shot out of the handle, and it glowed brightly even under the sun. A laser quickly flew towards the jedi, but with a simple swing of the lightsaber, the laser was deflected back, and destroyed the droid that fired the laser. The Jedi rushed through the battlefield, and with the power of the force, he ran with unhuman speed, slashing through the droids blocking his way. Behind, the Clone's cannons began firing on the droid tanks, destroying the tanks quickly. The droids retreated after that, running far and wide from the temple.
The jedi kept his saber and walked back to the Clones. The area was littered with droid parts and clone bodies. The Jedi, Master Tolok Rutus, looked around the area. If this kept going on, the temple will surely fall into the seperatist hands. Something had to be done.
MEANWHILE:
The Republic managed to push the Seperatist forces off Onderon, finally. Anakin, above the Reprisal, heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, he was able to rest. He lost count of how many droids he had destroyed. As he walked to the bridge, Yoda's holographic image appeared on the commlink.
"Greetings Skywalker, congratulations on the victory, i give." Yoda spoke, leaning onto his stick. Mace Windu was standing beside him, looking at Anakin.
"Good job Skywalker, Finally the Seperatist are no longer in a position to attack Coruscant."
Anakin bowed to both masters, and then looked back at them. Windu continued.
"After your victory at Onderon, The Chancellor has rallied the Clones on the assault of Tython. We need to get that planet back from the Seperatist quickly. Obi Wan will be meeting you shortly, then the Republic shall move towards Tython. Me and Master Yoda will be personally leading this battle. Master Tolok Rutus is already on Tython, he'll brief you more when you and Obi Wan get there. Windu Out. " Anakin looked at Mace Windu. He just finished the fight in Onderon, and immediately he was thrown back into action. Typical. But, this Tython thing looks serious. Even Master Windu and Master Yoda joined this battle. Anakin gave a final bow and turned the tranmission off. He looked towards the galaxy. Looks like he's going back into action. Captain Rex, Anakin's trustable Clone, and buddy, came up towards him.
"Sir, where are we heading to?"
Anakin smiled at Rex.
"Tython."
MEANWHILE.
Count Dooku, the Seperatist leader, sat uncomfortably as he spoke to Darth Sidious. Tython was the last planet he had in the Deep Core, and he could not afford to lose control in the Deep Core, or else Coruscant will no longer be in attacking range. He had about roughly a million droids on Tython already, and Grievous's fleet is heading to Tython. For a man who was always calm, Dooku seemed nervous for the first time. But he had a plan that will change the outcome of this war. He just hoped that the Republic would fall for it.
MEANWHILE.
"Thank you, Master Windu." Rutus ended the transmission. He looked back at his men. There were a few dozen Jedis, and about a thousand clones.
"Dont worry, help is on its way as we speak." Rutus said to his men. The clones cheered and the Jedi's nodded their heads. Rutus let out a smile. Finally, reinforcements were coming to Tython. He always felt that the Republic did not respect the Jedi's culture, seeing that Tython was where the Jedi's came from. He knew something was amiss with the Chancellor, Palpatine, since the very first day he sat in the office. He has an insider in the Republic to keep him posted about the situation concerning the Chancellor. But for the time being, he had other things to worry about. Tython, or more specifically, The Jedi Temple, cannot fall into the droid's hands.
