My Clone Wars Stories Episode 45: Clone Escape

Characters: Commander Neyo, ARF Commander Cher, Mace Windu, Yoda. Ter Ex, Commando Droids, Senate Commandos, Chancellor Palpatine.

Narration: "Trapped! Trapped on the middle of a distant planet, Clone Troopers Neyo and Cher, must decide on how best to escape the planet! But with options scarce, Neyo and Cher both know there is only one option!"

Clone Commander Neyo and ARF Commander Cher stride out of the cave they had been resting in. Without saying anything, they know that it will be an almost impossible task to get back to Coruscant safely. Still not saying anything, they stride back into the jungle they had been in yesterday, but a trap is waiting for them.

Commando Droids shoot at them before they even go a few paces into the jungle. Neyo flattens himself against a tree as the bolts whizz past him. He shots across to Cher, who did the same as him on the other side of the jungle, "I'm pinned down over here! Could use some help!" and Cher shouts back, "Believe it or not, me too!". Neyo grunts abysmally, and takes a wild shot around the tree, fortunately blasting one Commando Droid right off it's feet, destroyed. Cher hurls a detonator at the Commando Droids, blowing several of them up. Neyo runs forward and finishes the last few off. Cher re-joins him, and Neyo and Cher walk out of the jungle.

Neyo and Cher find the Droid base of none other than that of the Rodian Ter Ex. Neyo and Cher know they must sneak around to infiltrate the base and do so, finding a couple of Commando Droids standing guard. Neyo sneakily jumps one, while, as the other one is distracted, Cher blasts that one aside, while Neyo finishes the one he grabbed. Cher activates the doors to the base from the outside, and they stride through. Up above, in the control room, an alarm siren indicating intruders rings out. Ter Ex furiously calls out "Get those intruders, kill 'em off! No matter who they are!", and he turns, boarding a Stap, as a legion of Commando Droids rushes down to the courtyard. Once outside, the Commando Droids are met by heavy fire from Neyo and Cher, knocking a few of them down. Cher whips out a thermal detonator, blowing over half of them apart. While the remainder of the Commando Droids recover from the blast, Neyo moves in and finishes them off. Their victory is short lived, however, because as Neyo and Cher make for the nearby shuttle, Ter Ex comes haring out on a Stap, and he says furiously, "If you want a job done right, do it yourself!", Ter Ex zooms around Neyo, who tries to shoot him. Cher is already on board the shuttle, so he can't assist. Neyo eventually skims one of the handlebars on the Stap. As Ter Ex inspects the damage, Neyo gets off a finer shot, shooting the Stap dead center, with such force that Ter Ex is sent flying off it, he bangs head first into the shuttle, before crashing landing sickeningly on the ground near the shuttle. Cher comes out to inspect the source of the noise. Cher finds Neyo beside the body of Ter Ex, inspecting it. Neyo stands up and says, "Dead. Well and truly dead". Neyo and Cher quickly leave aboard the Separatist shuttle, heading safely back to Coruscant.

Neyo and Cher are called into Chancellor Palpatine's office swiftly after they arrive back on Coruscant. Neyo and Cher find Jedi Masters Yoda and Mace Windu already waiting for them, with Palpatine by his window. The Senate Commandos guarding the office leave after Neyo and Cher arrive. Palpatine greets them warmly, saying, "Ah! Our brave, brave Clones, have given us the honour of arriving before us". Yoda says, "Mhmm, yes, very brave actions, they were, saved a planet from terrible evil, they may well have". Neyo asks, "Why did you call us here? What do you want to tell us?". Palpatine replies, "I'm sure you know of the cruel death of CC-0411 Commander Ponds, yes?" and Neyo and Cher nod their agreement. Palpatine continues, "Well, it has been decided that, due to Mace not being allowed back into the field until he finds a new replacement, you, Neyo, will be that replacement". Palpatine then turs to Cher, saying "You will also continue to serve under Neyo". Both Neyo and Cher respond, "Sir, yes Sir!". Both Clones turn proudly and stride out of the office as the story ends!
