My Clone Wars Stories Episode 66: Promotion

Characters: Ki-Adi-Mundi, Clone Commander Jet, Special Ops Clone Troopers, Sergeant Bacara, Cerean Warriors, Separatist Kubaz General Kranthe, Super Battle Droids, Cerean Female Warrior Lo-La-Landar, Anakin Skywalker, Clone Captain Rex.

Narration: "Cerea is almost defeated! The Cerean people have fought valiantly against Separatist invaders, but there are too many droids! With the arrival of Jedi Anakin Skywalker and Clone Captain Rex, can the Republic turn the tide of this conflict?"

"Our meagre reinforcements have arrived!" said Ki-Adi-Mundi to Commander Jet and Sergeant Bacara outside the Cerea Palace. "Meagre is right" said Bacara as the gunship doors open, and out steps Anakin Skywalker and Clone Captain Rex. "Glad to be here!" says Anakin to Mundi upon his arrival. "Indeed. Let's hope you're rather unusual methods can help us here, General Skywalker". Anakin and Rex join Mundi, Jet, Bacara and Lo-La-Landar in the plan for the next Separatist assault...

As the Separatist Super Battle Droids march across the square, they are ambushed. Captain Rex, Sergeant Bacara and the last five of the Special Ops Troopers attack them. Rex rushes through them, blasting both ways to take down droids. Bacara and the other clones make a formation, and use it to hold off the droids. AAT's attack them, but Rex climbs aboard one and drops a thermal detonator down it's hatch. As Rex jumps, it explodes behind him. Bacara follows Rex's example, doing the same and dropping a detonator down another one. The last AAT blows up the five Special Ops Troopers, and Rex again is forced to throw a detonator down an AAT hatch. Rex's jump isn't as good this time, and the explosion sends him flying across the square, landing heavily on the ground, his helmet falling off and lands several feet away from him. A couple of Super Battle Droids attack, and Bacara is forced to valiantly defend the life of Rex, eventually he overpowers the droids, using the butt of his DC-15 to smash them down. "You ok, Captain?" Bacara asks as Rex stirs. "I'm okay. Let's win this battle" replied Rex. He scoops up his helmet, and he and Bacara leave the square.

Kranthe realizes the Republic are closing in on him. As he turns to make his escape, Anakin, Mundi and Jet all appear behind him. Anakin slices recklessly at Kranthe, but misses. Kranthe tries to shoot Anakin, but he deflects the blaster bolts. Jet shoots aside the E-11 blaster in Kranthe's hand. Kranthe turns and runs, as Anakin pursues him down a street. Cerean Warriors meanwhile, engage a squad of Super Battle Droids, using their high-velocity rifles and swords to slice them apart. Once the droids are done, they assist Landar in trying to capture Kranthe. Kranthe escapes Anakin by jumping onto a Stap before Anakin can catch him. As Jet and Mundi arrive, Kranthe turns the stap around and shoots. Several blaster bolts enter Jet's chest, knocking him down, and mortally wounding him. As the Cereans and Rex arrive, Kranthe attempts to shoot Anakin, but Anakin deflects the bolts right back, hitting the stap. Kranthe is sent flying up into the air as the Stap explodes on the ground. Kranthe falls backwards into the flame with a scream. Anakin turns coldly away, and joins Mundi and Bacara in checking up on Jet. Jet says "I'm sorry-Sergeant" to Bacara, before passing away... another good clone wasted in the conflict...

Later on, A celebration issues for the Cerean people. Ki-Adi-Mundi walks onto a stage and makes a speech, saying "My friends. This has been a long, difficult and grueling time for us all. Many of our brave people have sacrificed themselves to save our planet, including our king. Replacing him will be our very own, Lo-La-Landar! A person worthy of the role she will have!". Landar smiles at Mundi's words about her. Mundi then approaches Segeant Bacara, and tells him "We lost our whole battalion of Special Ops Troopers today" and Bacara says "I am sorry, General". Mundi says "Don't be. We need you to lead my new battalion of Galactic Marines, Commander Bacara". Bacara is delighted at the promotion, excited at the chance to become a commander for the rest of the war...
