My Clone Wars Stories Episode 25: Outpost Siege

Characters: Clone Captain Rex, 501st Clone Troopers, Clone Trooper Kix, Clone Trooper Jesse, Separatist Aky Slinth, Battle Droids, Super Battle Droids, Separatist Do Bby, Bultar Swan.

Narration: ”Threat! In an everlasting conflict of war, surprise attacks are frequent! And the Republic never knows where the Separatists will strike next! Bultar Swan and Clone Captain Rex, defend a outpost on a distant planet, unaware of the events that are to come!”

 

Captain Rex walks into the control room, to find JedI Bultar Swan waiting for him. Bultar says “We can confirm there are Separatist forces around here, but we are not sure if they know of our presence here” and Rex replies “Possibly not. But, as this is the only outpost for many clicks around here, it is possible they might come and either rest, or investigate in here”. Bultar says “Well thought Captain Rex, if we put several Clone Troopers at each entrance, we might be able to hold them off, if they do come”. Rex says “Good strategy, I’ll go tell Kix and Jesse” as Rex heads out of the room.

Not far away, Separatist forces look through scopes at the outpost. The Nikto Aky Slinth says “I can see Republic Troopers in there, the Republic is in charge of that outpost”. The Nemoidian Do Bby, says “What do we do?” and Slinth replies “If we want to have that outpost, we must attack, and drive the Republic forces out of there!”, before turning to a Battle Droid and saying “Commander! Prepare the troops, we’re attacking!” and the Droid replies “Roger, roger!”.

Rex finds Kix and Jesse near one of the entrances to the outpost. Rex tells them “Our JedI General says that we should put several Troopers at each entrance to the outpost”. Kix says “Good plan” and Rex replies “Indeed. Jesse, I want you at the left entrance, with three others. Kix, you take the right entrance, with another three. I’ll defend the centre with the remaining five”. Jesse asks “What about the Jedi?” and Rex replies “She’ll be guarding the gunship, in case we have to escape”.

On the Cliff overlooking the base, Slinth says “It’s time, let’s go!” as he and Do Bby jump down the cliff, one of the Battle Droids shouts as they activate their jetpacks, “Up, up, and away!” as they head for the outpost. One Clone spots them, and yells “We’ve got company!” as the Battle Droids and Super Battle Droids land outside the main entrance to the base. Do Bby says as the Droids march past him “Take those puny Republic forces!” and the Droids respond “Roger, roger!”. Rex calls out “Hold them off!” as the Droids enter the outpost. Rex and the other 501st Clones open fire on the Droids, knocking down several Battle Droids, but the remaining Droids return fire, shooting down two Clones. Jesse, Kix and another Trooper appear behind Rex, and Jesse says “We must retreat to the gunship, there are too many of them!” just as the Trooper with Jesse and Kix takes a blaster bolt to the head from Slinth. Rex, Kix and Jesse run away, but the other Clone’s are brutally shot down as they try to leave.
Rex, Jesse and Kix find Bultar Swan at the gunship, who yells at them “Come on! We can’t stay here!” as she ignites her lightsaber to cover the others, Kix and Jesse make it aboard the gunship, Bultar follows them, but as Rex makes to follow, he takes a blaster bolt to the side, and he falls down. Kix yells “Captain!” but the gunship has already taken off, leaving a wounded Rex on the ground. Rex turns to find three Super Battle Droids looming above him. Rex draws his DC-17 blaster pistols and doesn’t stop shooting until the Droids are defeated. Rex limps into the base, before setting several explosive charges inside. Rex then hurries back out and detonates it, destroying the base. Rex then limps away to find shelter.

Very close by, Slinth and Do Bby inspect the damage of the explosion, Slinth and Do Bby being outside the base when it happened were unaffected, but the Droids were all spare parts. Slinth coolly says “Another one bites the dust!” as the story ends!
