Sepratist droid factory, Sector 40, Geonosis, 22bby.....
"Wee" Fi screams.
"I never thought Id be so glad that our suits are sealed" Jay says.
"Just having a little fun vode"
"It dosent phase you that theres a friggin army of battle droids at the bottom of this vent does it"
"No"
It bloody well phases me. We found away into the factory via a disused chimney, now we're fast roping down.
"Yu know all they got to do to kill us is light a fire, right" Tam says
"Thanks Ill bear that in mind " I say.
Good old Tam always the optimist.
We continue on our descent until we reach solid ground. The place is dark I cant see a thing and when I turn my NV on, I imediatly wish I didnt.
" What the hell are they!" Fi screams
"Bugs" Tam says.
There they are dozens of them their throats crackle as they sleep. I cant move;. Crap I just lled my men into a friggin bug hive.
"They dont look to interested in us at the moment boss maybe we could just pass through" Jay says
Worth a try.
"Thats what we'll do"
I take the first step and try to walk down the corridor as quietly as possible. Even thou our suits are sealed no one says a word. hell even Fis shut up. Every step I take becomes more and more difficult until eventually after a long and gruelling walk we reach the end. I feel like am gona puke my legs are shaking. I raise my rifle and watch until every one has cleared the corridor.
"That was hard" Fi says in a quieter than usuall tone " Sir I have some incendary bombs the flames would clear out the whole tunnel want me to plant one?"
"Yes burn the fuckers" its harsh and maybe I do feel sorry for the bugs but I dont have time for that I hope they all burn.
While Fi plants the bomb every one watches the sleeping bugs.
"Sir I think thats a bug egg"
'"Who wants scrambled eggs" fi laughs " bombs set chief"
"Okay lets go"
We walk for two kilometers until we can here the machinery in the factory. We turn the last corner and see something I really dont want to. its not droids its worse. In the corner a group of bugs have one of ours their torturing the guy. His blood is all over the floor.
"We have to help him" Jay says but its too late.
bang Bang Bang and a collosol bomb are heard and I go into auto mode. Tam shot all three bugs acuratly and deadly while Fi deotonated the fire bomb. I dive for cover and fire at an approching SBD. Jays over by the wounded trooper. Fi and Tam have disappeared. Then I hear it screaming and yelling from down the tunnel. Then they run out dozens of bugs all of them on fire.
"Fi how big was that bomb?" I ask no one in particuular as I shoot a battle droid.
"Very big boss man a Fi specialty" he replies.
Hard to believe we walked by all them without knowing. wakey wakey bug boys.
I look around well well what have we here. Beside me there are 4 fuel tanks of liquid tibana. Guess what that means.
" Fi the tanks behind me place a-" he cuts me of
"already did and the ones behind Tam"
"Good man" dont believe I said that " we need a way out of here"
"Sir the conveyor belt we can use that" yells jay.
"Okay get on that belt" so we all run to the belt and take cover behind some moulds.
"Hey guys where does this belt lead?" asks Fi
" It leads to.... Oh osik jay you eijit this thing dumps waste into the smelter" Tam yells.
" Everyone keep fighting we're getting of this thing" I yell as I drop another droid.
Then as if they knew it was a bad time for us bugs hundreds of them swarm down on top of us.
" Where the hell did you come from" Fi yells
" Who cares just blow their brains out" Tam yells back firing his DC.
" Do they have brains" asks fi
" Well I guess we dont either as we're on a friggin conveyor belt to hell. " he sanps back. " wait a second cover me" and with that he runs down the beltas if it where a treadmill.
" "Wheres he going?" jay yells
" Who cares just shoot your god damn weapon commando" I yell back. Its not that I dont care but its that I trust the man.
" Be careful bro" I hear Fi whisper in the comm.
Then click" crap am dry" i pull out my dual blasters from my kama. Still its hopeless. Then bang a sniper rifel bang a DC 17 with sniper attachment bang and the conveyor belt stops.
" tam you genius" I say
"Jealous Jay?" Fi teases as he fires from his pistol .
" Shut up" Jay replies as he tends to the wounded trooper.
So we keep fighting the bugs and droid army that has us cacked up against certain doom. Thank the force that these pistols are rechargable as now all three of us have one each. I had to give Jay one as he didnt have one for himself. So we keep it up until eventually the enemy stops coming and Tam rejoins us.
" We have to go now" h breaths " I just.... I justt slotted a bug with a very big head so I think we should run now"
" Agreed"
So all five of us start running well four really but as Jays carrying the white job all five of us until we reach the elevator.
" Okay Jay hit the button"
"Yes sir"
"Sir problem seps are back and they aint happy"
I look out of the lift and hes right a whole friggin army is advancing on us droids and bugs alike.
" Well start blasting Jay hit the friggin button"
" Controls are ruined Ill try fixing them"
" Dont try DO" yells Fi as he fires at the droids
I habd the trooper a pistol that Jay wont need and the four of us start fighting. Three republic commandos and a trooper armed with five DC-15 pistols against a thousand biugs and droids seems fair. It takes Jay thirty seconds to get the lift working .
" That was close" sighs Fi.
" Fi the detonator"
"With pleasure sir" and with that he presses it. Suddenly the elevator picks up speed. The blast is driving it up faster. And when it stops the sudden jerk puts us all in the air.
and we all land with a thud.
" Never again" says Jay
" Awwh come on 79 wheres your sense of humour"
The elevator doors open and reveals a ramp up to the surface we ascend and enter the geonosis sun light again. A clone trooper squad nearby runs to us and relieves Jay of the wounded guy who hands Fi my pistol.
" Good job sergent"says a clone commander nearby as he approaches. "You guys just took out the last factory and the seps are pulling out congratz" and with that he walks of.
" Your welcome" fi says as he hands me my pistol.
Four months later.....
Minchi, 22bby, republic forward base delta 3....
So I lay there the blistering cold wind beating of my armor the rain pelting of it. Even thou the armor is sealed its bloody freezing on this hell hole. The planet is constantly in winter. Snow rain cold more rain. I inspect the robes Ive been given and put them on if anything they distance me further from the elements. The others lay asleep around me in the troop bay of the crashed gunship. We did our job again and now the battel front has been pushed back 50 miles now the clone troopers have to do there job and finish up. most of the seps are gone now only the tail-head mercs are left. I scan the battle field the burnt out chasis of vechales litter the place the bodies and weapons have been collected evrything has except the troopers taking shelter in the ruins. I look to the sky the cloudy mist dotted with the republic assault ships and other craft. and then at my men all coseily asleep or so I think. Still it dont matter but I wonder do they think theres more to life than war or is it just me. Either way am going back to sleep. So I lean up against the speeder stand and fall back to sleep
