Bab 4: Teth Monastary
As we entered the darkness I put on my visor and gun flashlight.
"I don't like this place, it gives me the creeps." Rex said, speaking all our thoughts.
"Don't know why anyone would like to live here." I said as we continued on.
"This looks like one of the B'omar monk monasteries I studied at the Temple." Ahsoka said.
Nerd, was all I thought.
"Now these monasteries are filled with smugglers, they take it and make it their retreat." Anakin said, he too was a nerd.
"And the Monks just let them?" Ahsoka asked.
"The Smugglers usually gets it how they wants, in the end." Anakin said as the door ahead of us opened.
The Jedi activated their lightsabers and we aimed our guns, it was the Assasin droid. As far as I remember he would take pictures to manipulate the Hutts into believing the Jedi kidnapped their son.
"Good guy or bad guy? Master?" Ahsoka asked in the tense silence.
"Who are you!" Anakin shouted aggressively.
"Merely a humble caretaker, O'mighty sir. You have liberated me from those dreadful battle bots." He said, no shocker he was humble.
The two Jedi's disengaged their lightsabers.
"Where is the Hutt?" Anakin asked.
"The Battlebots kept their prisoners on the dungeon level, a dreadful place. And not one for servant girls." The droid said and I could immediately see anger bubbling out of Ahsoka.
"Does servant girls carry these?" She asked as she stepped up and activated her lightsaber "I am a Jedi Knight" she said, holding her lightsaber against his neck.
However she noticed her Master disapproving gaze and stepped back.
"At least soon to be." She said quietly.
"A thousand apologies, Young one" The droid said as Ahsoka walked past him.
"Captain, we'll get the Hutt, stay here and watch out." Anakin said and Rex nodded.
Anakin then walked away as Rex approached me.
"You're my second in command for this mission. The other Captain died." Rex said and I nodded.
"Do you want me to send my teams to search the monastary?" I asked Rex as we walked out of the dark area.
"Yes, I'll deal with the security on the deck, get on with it soliders." Rex said before walking off.
As I watched him walk away I began thinking.
I could not deny the fact that I was slowly getting used to the 501st, quite a lively bunch.
And with that I walked off and began setting my troops.
I knew what was to come later and as such I sent my squads to the spots furthest away from the fighting.
…
I found myself looking at Anakin harshly mishandling that little Hutt, although it's not that I disapproved of it, in fact I would have enjoyed it if he did it even more harshly.
After that was done they went and talked to Obi-Wan.
That is until a trooper with a binocular came running up to me.
"Lieutenant! 2 Droid transports, 1 o'clock above us!" He said while pointing.
I zoomed in on that position myself and saw them as well.
"Incoming clankers! Battle positions!" I shouted as we began getting into position.
I also saw Rex ordering people around and leading the attack.
I ran up to Skywalker and Ahsoka.
"General! I suggest a retreat is in order! We cannot win out here!" I said as he blocked shots.
"Good thinking, Lieutenant. Sound the retreat." He said and I nodded, connecting to the Company comms.
"All forces, retreat into the Monastary. General Skywalker is covering us." I said before turning it off, I then switched to Platoon comms.
"All squads of the 332nd Platoon, remain where you are and go into hiding. We're under attack and we will hold them off for as long as possible, hide until a counter attack is launched, this is not up for debate." I said into it before cutting the connection.
And with that I began popping droids after droids, I focused on the B2 Batlle Droids, they were a menace in close combat, but somewhat fightable in longer range.
I aimed at a B2 at the edge of the droid push and 3 shots quickly ended him, I then switched my target to another B2 about 4.7 meters away from the first one.
1 kill turned to 2, 2 turned to 4 and before I knew it 15 of them had gone down.
But sadly we were finally closing the door and my mag was out.
So after rolling under the closing door I relaxed.
"Captain, we'll stay here until General Kenobi comes with reinforcements." Anakin said as the men stood around them.
Ahsoka then looked at Anakin with strange eyes, even I could see it.
"What?" Anakin asked, clearly having spotted it.
"Do you honestly think that we can hold them off? We've got to find a way out of here." Ahsoka pleaded.
"Our mandate is to protect the Hutt." Anakin countered.
"Our mandate is to get this Hutt back to Tatooine and time is running out." Ahsoka said.
"I suppose you have a plan?" Anakin asked.
R2-D2 then began whistling and Ahsoka brightened up.
"Yes, or I think so, R2 is willing." Ahsoka said and Anakin sighed.
"Okay, snips. I'll trust you on this one." He said before turning to me and Rex.
"Captain, hold them here as long as you can." Anakin said, before both he and Ahsoka walked away.
"Will do, sir." Rex said before turning to us. "You heard the General, spread out!" He shouted before giving directives.
I walked to the back as I began thinking.
Would I survive this, I mean. We would be killed or injured, our only saving Grace would be playing dead or injured, or just surrender.
I think Rex will surrender towards the end, but I can't rely on that.
In the end I decided to just take it as it comes, I went to the pillar at the end and set up a position.
After a few tense minutes, the doors began to open.
"Focus on the B2's!" I shouted as the doors opened at the droids pulled forward.
The first wave consisted of 12 B1ms, then 8 B2's and 3 Spiders, though they likely had more.
Ignoring the B1's I focused straight on the B2's.
I aimed and shot, aimed and shot, aimed and shot.
I fought with all my might, I saw me falling left and right, this was bad.
The droids had walked far past the first 3 pillars and the spiders entered.
As I shot down the final B2 the Spider Droid aimed at me and fired.
I rolled forward but it wasn't enough and I was thrown across the room and hit the wall with my head first.
Blackness immediately welcomed me.
…
My vision returned when I was dragged by two B1's and threw into a circle with the rest of the clones.
I was quickly ordered to stand up with my hands on my head.
Through the ringing in my ear and headache I did what they told me.
And as I got control I saw one of the droids approach Rex.
"Do you wanna know how it works?" Rex asked before he grabbed the B1ms gun and unleashed fire upon the Droids.
The droid beside me aimed at me and fired but I sidestepped it and grabbed his gun.
The stupid droid was still firing at I pointed it at his head, he neve let go of the trigger.
After the droid fell I grabbed the gun before unleashing fire on the droid ranks.
The E6 Blaster Rifle was short and powerful, but it had one major downside, it could jam quick.
I danced through the droid lines, using their own troops as shields, changing guns often due to jamming or just needing to reload.
As the last of the B1's fell, I looked up to see about 2 dozen B2's menacingly looking at me and the remaining Clones.
However that's when fire was unleashed from behind the B2's.
A quick look let me know that my Platoon was here.
The B2 closest to me opened fire with his dual blaster carbines as I ran at him.
I dodged a few shots before I grabbed his arm, which was still firing and began aiming at his fellows.
As his fire-rate slowed down I stepped back, took out my blaster and opened 8 shot into his body, shutting him down.
Rex and his boys jumped on the confused B2's and they were quickly destroyed.
However, we were yet to be done. Reinforcements for the droids arrived as we once again got surrounded.
We took positions on the AT-TE as we fought tooth and nail, slowing the Spider Droids with Grenades and Poppers.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw Rex having repeatedly talked to someone but I put it away as I continued my fighting.
I had come to realise I had a knack for killing B2's so that was my target, I had used about 6 different droid blasters by this point and the one I had right now just jammed.
Looking around I realised my DC17 was just laying beside a droid corpse, likely having fallen off when the droid died.
Sprinting out of cover, while dancing through the enemy laser bolts I reached my blaster and instead of returning and fighting I decided to be a dumbass and went all out.
I grabbed a knife I found in the ground and began weaving through their lines.
Using my pistol and knife to cause problems.
Focusing on killing B1's while putting B2's at an disadvantage, like shooting their feet and cutting their arms off.
I even managed to take a few Spider Droids.
But all good must come to an end, while going on with my usuals I was shot in my right chest, significantly slowing me down and disrupting my movement.
It was enough time for another bolt to hit the back of my leg.
However I gritted my teeth and fought through the pain, killing 3 more B1's and 1 B2 before I was surrounded and shot in my left chest.
As a B1 aimed their blaster at my helmet I saw something jump on top of it and cutting it into two.
But that was the last I saw as my eyesight went black and my mind became blank, any thought I once might have bad got disrupted.
I fell unconscious.
Either due to the pain or just something hit me in the back of my head, I didn't know, nor would I get the time to know quite yet.
And with that, my body hit the ground, but I wouldn't know, after all I'm unconscious ain't I.
Well that sucks, I hope I don't get killed while I'm laying here.
Why the fuck am I thinking.
