Chương 26: Christophosis
2 months later...
In the depths of the galaxy, multiple ships could be seen roaming through space in strict formation.
Namely a black/grey Imperial Star Destroyer at the center, with over 2 Venator ships surrounding it from both sides.

Inside the large Imperial Ship was Silas, Anakin and Thrawn in the command center, with clone captains at their stations.
"We have nearly arrived at Christophosis, but we have radio silence from Obi-Wan, so we need to be ready for anything." Silas remarks with crossed arms.
Anakin chuckled, "How much you wanna bet he's stuck in some hole, grumbling for help."
Silas amusedly shook his head as he looked toward Thrawn who was gazing out at space, "Hey Thrawn, we can assume their in need of spatial assistance, so as I said before, remain steadfast."
Thrawn didn't even glance back as he coldly retorts, "I am always 'steadfast', I don't need you telling me that."
Silas could only smirk at that response.
He thought back at the 2 months filled with battle, at how the 1st and 501st legions turned the tides of the war in the Republic's favor.
Having a 100% victory rate, they were constantly being sent out to assist other battles, and were easily dealing with them in the shortest amount of time.
Because putting together Silas's battle strategies, and their legions combat prowess, they simply could not be defeated.
Silas then glanced toward Anakin, 'How far he's come, his physical and mental strength have increased, yet he still has lots of room to grow.'
He promptly tapped his technological wrist band, and a holographic screen appeared above it, he lightly laughed as he spoke.
"Haha! Your still losing to me in stats."
Anakin scoffed as his eyes traced over the contents of the holographic screen.
It was an idea Silas thought of in order to distract themselves during the war, a type of stat board that compared the both of them.
Both their eyes then surveyed the blue floating screen in front of them.

They would test their capabilities daily, using machines or other credible methods to capture their ability, so the information was considered to be reliable.
Silas's eyes lingered upon the winner being unknown, and he agreed with the outcome. Because even though he had more points, there were many other things to consider, such as the rage factor, and how close they actually were in many of those categories.
"I'll be sure to take that speed category soon enough." Anakin muttered in obvious dissatisfaction.
Silas could only stifle a chuckle, "I don't think that'll ever happen."
Thrawn himself glanced back in obvious annoyance at the two, "I would suggest you both stop such foolish games, we are now arriving."

[Obi-Wan POV]
Down on the planet of Christophosis, in one area, tall diamond-like structures could be seen built, and at the center was a bridge filled with droids.
Hundreds to thousands of droids shot their red beams forward as they marched in tight formation, across from them were clones crouched behind crates, and short walls, firing back as best as they could.

Obi-Wan himself could be seen crouched behind a small wall, with over a dozen to hundreds of clones beside him.
A rain of red beams would continuously fly over their heads as they were being bombarded by the enemy.
And a little behind Obi-Wan were large artillery canons, manned by clones, firing back, but the droids seemed to be protected by a magnetic barrier of sorts, making their situation seem hopeless.
"This is why I told those two we shouldn't separate! Where the hell are Anakin and Silas!?" Obi-Wan couldn't help but shout out in frustration.
At one point the three of them used to be fighting battles together at the beginning week or two of deployment, but Silas thought it would be better if they were a quick response Legion which would constantly assist others.
And Anakin decided to follow after him since he also agreed, leaving Obi-Wan alone for the past two months, currently fighting this battle that's already lasted a few days.
He's tried calling for reinforcements but it seemed the enemy was blocking communications.
But the fact that he hasn't reported back should alert the Jedi Council that he needed assistance, so all he needed to do was wait and hold the line.
"We need to hold the line men! I'm sure reinforcements are coming!" He yelled out as he stood up and swung his blue lightsaber around, reflecting the beams back at the enemy.
His defensive duel style of Form III, Soresu was unmatched as he tried his best to protect all his troopers as much as he can.
Doing a cartwheel he swiftly managed to deflect yet another beam that almost pierced one of his orange striped clones.
As Obi-Wan was fighting, he was momentarily distracted when noticing multiple Star Destroyers entering the atmosphere from hyperspace, with a unique looking one leading them.
"They took their time." He sarcastically remarked while watching as they immediately opened fire on the enemy air ships, reinforcing the current fleet of Republic Ships in the atmosphere, before quickly releasing many Gunships into Christophosis's atmosphere.
All the clones behind him watched amazingly as dozens of Gunships flew down, and zoomed past their figures as they opened fire on the enemy.
Ssssss!
Until suddenly a sharp whistling noise resounded in the atmosphere, causing even the droids to stop shooting as everyone stared toward the sky in confusion.
Something beyond even the clouds was zooming down at lightning speeds, specifically two small figures.
Boom!
With a large sonic boom echoing behind them, their descent split apart the clouds itself.
Obi-Wan was baffled, "Are they?-"
Boom!
Before he could even finish speaking, the two beings landed with a loud crash directly on to the bridge, placing themselves between the clones and droids.
A cloud of smoke enshrouded their position as a powerful wave of force was exerted in all directions, slowly dispersing all cloudy debris.
The shockwave thrashed the droids back a few steps, while simultaneously causing Obi-Wan and the clones to raise their hands protectively, as a gust of wind blew against their faces.
"You can't be serious..." Obi-Wan had a baffled expression.
Even the clones behind him couldn't help but shake their head in amusement at the theatrics, but they happily looked forward at the new arrivals.
And then suddenly a booming voice was heard, "THE FIRST LEGION IS IN THE BUILDING!"
The cloud of smoke promptly disappeared as Silas and Anakin could be seen standing casually in front of the army of droids.
Anakin sneered as he said, "Hey don't take all the credit, this was my idea anyways."
Silas shrugged, "Yeah, yeah, as if I care... Now get ready, it seems we got a fight on our hands!"
Not even a second after he said that, the droids resumed their firing, but surprisingly Anakin didn't move as Silas himself stepped forward.
Calmly raising one hand, the dozens of red beams were abruptly frozen mid air, perplexing even the droids as they spoke aimlessly.
"What happened?"
"Uhhh, what was that?"
"Isn't that General Raven and Skywalker?"
Obi-Wan who was far behind watching the altercation, could only furrow his brows, 'I know of the ability [Force Stasis], which allows you to freeze something in place, but what he's currently doing seems rather different...' He was stuck in his thoughts as he continued to muse.
Back with Silas, his fingers were clenching as more and more droids continued to shoot, even going up to hundreds of beams frozen in the air, "I would appreciate it if you stop star gazing, and do something." He snidely commented toward Anakin, his voice becoming strained as it was getting harder and harder to stop them.
Anakin did a playful salute as his figure swiftly vanished and raced forward at inhumane speeds.
He was like a blur as he extended his blue saber outward and decapitated the unsuspecting droids.
At breakneck speed Anakin would swiftly slice all the legs of spider droids, before continuing to run through dozens of more droids effortlessly.
Silas himself slightly twisted his hand that was stopping the red beams, and watched as they unexpectedly slowly dissipated into nothingness.
Obi-Wan noticed this from a distance and seemed puzzled, 'What was that?...'
Regardless, Silas calmly raised up his other hand with his fingers extended forward as he laughed aloud.
"Haha! Have a taste of the brilliance of lightning!"
Not even a second later a surge of blue energy attempted to escape from the tips of his fingers.
But suddenly...
Boom!
His hand abruptly imploded into a small explosion as black smoke enveloped his face.
Once disappearing, a small smile could be seen on his expression, "Didn't work huh?..."
Then without hesitation he immediately turned around and ran, "Yeah that's a no-brainer! Time to run! Let's go Anakin!"
