An My Little Pony and Star Wars Story: Clone Wars
Chapter 15: Chapter 15: In the Heat of War, Part 1
Previous ChapterIn space, an fleet of Republic cruisers were preparing to jump into hyperspace. In the main red and white coloured cruiser, Jedi Knights Sky and Obi-Wan were discussing plans on their attack on the Separatist forces near an innocent planet.
"So, you tell me," Kenobi said to his brother. "You want us to split up, attack both the fleet and ground forces around the planet, freeing it, and call it a day for today?"
"That's what my plan is." Sky nodded.
"Very well." Kenobi then addressed to an orange armoured clone. "Cody, prepare the men for attack."
"Yes, General." Cody saluted before walking off.
It has been a couple of months since been granted the rank of Jedi Knight, and the young Equestrian Prince has been given off countless attacks to the Separatist forces, as well as destroying more than thousands of droids in a battle on an innocent world. He really has been living up to his title as an Knight, Kenobi must admit.
Just then, after getting the men ready, the Republic fleet of cruisers jumped into hyperspace and came out of it near the innocent planet's atmosphere.
Lowering his arms down, Sky said to his former master, "Let's go. We shall commence attack as the air force is ready."
"Very well." Kenobi nodded, just as his former Padawan ran off into the door as it closed behind him. Kenobi knew that, he should be the one attacking the fleet instead of Sky, but the Prince told him that the Jedi Master should attack the ground forces, to make confusion to the enemy forces.
In the main hangar, Sky ran up to his Jedi Interceptor before hopping into the cockpit as his droid, Artoo, was ready to go.
"Ready, Artoo?" The astromech droid beeped in response, as though saying it was. "Men, let's go!" The clones got in their respective starfighters as the young Jedi saw his former master getting in an gunship with his own men.
The starfighters and Interceptor took off as the hangar opened, flying into space as the gunships flew from the opened door as well. Although the gunshps flew down towards the planet, the starfighters flew straight to the enemy line, shocking the droids in their cruisers as the Republic starfighters began firing at them.
Thousands of vulture droids came out of the control ships and droid cruisers, taking the Republic fighters on. A crossfire happened all over the atmosphere of the planet under the fighting.
With Kenobi, his gunships flew towards the ground before flying forward to the battle droid's base of the innocent city that were in the distance.
After getting closer to the capital city of the planet, hundreds of missiles were being fired at the gunships, but Kenobi saw this coming.
"Evade maneuvers!" He shouted to the pilots, just as the gunships dodged the many missiles whilst the missiles exploded into nothing when they missed their targets.
Hundreds of droids, tanks, super battle droids, and droidekas was running or rolling to the Republic forces. Landing near the plains, the gunships opened their doors so the clones and Jedi Master could get out. The clones jumped out as did Kenobi, before running towards the enemy lines as the clones fired at the many droids whilst Obi-Wan slashed against them with his lightsaber.
Up in space, Sky was being pursued by twenty vulture droids as he dodged their fire, maneuvering to the sides before stopping his engines as he came behind them, making them confused before being shot down by the Jedi Knight's Interceptor, which fired green laser blasts at the droid fighters.
Sky continued to be pursued by vulture droids, but he did the same trick at the battle of Muunilinst, stopping his engines before activating them again when he got behind the fighters and shot them down with his green laser blasts.
One clone starfighter was being pursued by thirty vultures, but Sky saved the Republic fighter from being destroyed by shooting at the vulture droids, being thanked by the clone pilot before the Jedi Knight returned to the raging fight in space.
Back down on the planet, Kenobi cut an droid in two pieces, deflecting some fire from three B1 battle droids before he cut them down with his lightsaber as he joined his men in an fighting and deflecting stance as he continued to deflect the enemies' artillery fire.
Kenobi deflected more blasts that were fired at him, before he concentrated to Cody, who had joined him by his side.
"Let's go!" The Jedi Master shouted to his men, before running up to the continuous firing droids, with the clones behind him. The clones, either, blasted the droids or tried punching them down but was shot in the head by the many droids.
Back up in space, Sky was pursued by three vulture droids and Tri droids before he stopped his engines, getting behind them before activating them again, and shot the six droid fighters down with green laser blasts. The Equestrian Prince then pursued four more vulture droids before blasting them down with his Interceptor's fire, just as he aimed his fighter at one of the cruisers the Separatists had.
Flying towards the bridge of the first cruiser, Sky fired a couple of shots at the bridge, destroying it as the cruiser exploded to pieces after some fire from the Republic cruisers.
"This is too easy." Sky noted to himself, before shooting another cruiser down by the bridge, along with some fire by his cruisers that fired with him at the second Separatist cruiser. The young Prince flew towards a third cruiser's bridge, shooting and destroyed the bridge of the cruiser just as the Republic cruisers artillery fired at the rest of the enemy cruiser, completely annihilating it.
Suddenly, and unexpectedly, more enemy cruisers jumped out of hyperspace from behind the Separatist forces, forcing Sky to turn back to his ships before being fired at as he dodged every last one of the shots that was nearly hitting his fighter.
Sensing an cyborg in the main cruiser, Sky hardened his gaze upon the cruiser.
"Grievous." Sky said to himself, having been told the cyborg's name by his master's warnings about the Separatist general. He sure was an dangerous droid general, the Prince must admit.
In the enemy cruiser, Grievous laughed evilly as he watched the Jedi Knight's fighter being chased by his vulture droids, but the Interceptor destroyed them with ease, making the cyborg a little worried about that Jedi.
"Commence attack on the Republic cruisers." The cyborg told the droid pilots.
"Roger, General!" The pilots saluted before pressing some buttons, causing the turrets to point their aim at the Republic cruisers. However, Sky had seen this coming.
"Oh, no, you don't!" He yelled before piloting his Interceptor at the main enemy cruiser, but the turrets fired at him instead, making him only able to evade the fire as he made amazing maneuvers that were little impressive to the cyborg general. The young Prince continued evading the turrets' fire, making more impressive maneuvers as he did so. Sky then blasted some of the turrets down with his green laser blasts, causing the inside of the main enemy cruiser to shake a little.
"Grr." Grievous growled angrily, having heard the destruction of his turrets by the Jedi Knight. "Commence attack. NOW!" He shouted in rage, as the vulture droids began chasing Sky's Interceptor through space.
Sky yelped as he was nearly shot down by an vulture droid, but managed to barely dodge its fire in the nick of time. He'd turned around, and started firing at the droid fighters, taking some of the hundred fighters out. Sky flew towards them as he dodged more fire from the vulture droids, all the while shooting at them as he destroyed more enemy fighters down with green laser blasts.
Back down on the planet, Kenobi was cutting down several battle droids, whilst his clones with bazookas took out the droidekas that had shield generators around them. But, not withstanding the missiles from the bazookas, the droidekas was destroyed. More droids continued to fire at the Jedi, who managed to deflect each and every one of their attacks.
Kenobi ran for the droids, deflecting all the while as he was running towards them. He cut several battle droids in halves, as the parts fell to the ground. The Jedi Master deflected more fire from the droids, before cutting them down with his lightsaber as he had run up to them fast, quickly got the droids cut in half as he swung his lightsaber at them. He deflected more blasts from the droids around the Jedi Master, before his men decided to aid him in the ferocious fight.
The clones was shooting at the droids, who was then firing at the clones, killing several of them. The clones with bazookas fired missiles at many groups of droids, taking them out as the many missiles were fired at them, destroying them into pieces. The Jedi Master continued cutting and deflecting the battle droids' fire and also destroying them in half. He was having a bit of trouble doing this by himself, but Cody decided to help him by running up to an droid, knocking it down with an fist before blasting its head off before shooting at three other droids that were unable to act quicker than the clone commander.
Kenobi continued to deflect blasts and cutting droids down, as he began to feel exhausted from the endless fighting. However, he wasn't planning on giving up, as he cut ten droids down with relative ease and a bit of difficulty due to his near exhaustion. After cutting twenty more droids down, the front line and first wave of droids were finally taken out as the clones breathed in relief with the Jedi Master.
Back up in space, Sky was being pursued by forty vulture droids as he dodged their blasts. He was making sweet maneuvers again, evading the fire from the fighters easily as he quickly turned around and artillery fired at the droid fighters, taking them out with as much ease as possible without breaking an sweat.
Grievous was growling and snarling at the Interceptor of the Jedi Knight, angry at having lost almost all of his fleet by an single starfighter.
"Retreat. Don't question me. Just retreat. Now!" The cyborg yelled to the pilots, who was confused at first but immediately understood his unwanted questions. The remaining Separatist cruisers turned around and jumped into hyperspace, disappearing from sight.
Sky was immensely confused at first, but he understood quickly why they had to retreat. It was because he had nearly destroyed the entire droid fleet by himself. He had amazed himself by doing so.
Piloting his starfighter down to the planet to assist his master, Sky landed near the Jedi Master, who had his arms folded as he looked as his brother jumped out of his fighter before walking towards him.
"What?" Sky questioned confusingly.
"I'm impressed." Kenobi said suddenly. "By defeating an entire Separatist fleet by yourself. It had impressed me very much. Never before had I seen you do that. How did you do it?" He raised an eyebrow at the question.
"I used some tricky maneuvers." Sky replied, rubbing the back of his neck. "Along with stopping my engines, getting behind the vulture droids, and immediately began firing at them. I also took out some cruisers by destroying the bridges of them."
"Impressive." Kenobi said. "For the most part."
"'For the most part'?" Sky repeated in confusion.
"I still had wished, that I had been the one controlling the fleet instead of you." Kenobi sighed. "But, I see that you've made the right choice in handling that yourself. For now, we'll discuss this later. Right now, the Separatists are most likely going to attack the Outer Rim planets from all over. We must stop them before they succeed in enslaving the innocence people of the worlds."
"No argument there." Sky agreed. "Let's go." He walked up to his Interceptor, which had Artoo on it the whole time, before jumping in the cockpit.
"Sky." Kenobi caught his attention. "Remember, don't use force or anger when at the battlefield. It'll lead you to closer to the Dark Side."
"I know, master." Sky nodded, before his cockpit closed as the Interceptor took off into the air and into space, as Kenobi and the remaining of his men got in the gunships, which took off into space and to the Republic cruisers as well like Sky's fighter.
This was going to be an hard fight they hope to win.
