"Your petty insults will do you no good!" Aurra Sing retaliated; words and weapons. "After I kill you... I will hunt down your pathetic former Padawan; I heard she has made quite a name for herself... all the better for my reputation when I cut her down in a brilliant series of tactical maneuvers and strikes!"

With the last word barely escaping her mouth, Sing pressed the attack, striking again and again at the Jedi she so desperately wanted to kill.

By the skin of his teeth, Quinlan barely dodged the blows, and sped up, drawing on the Force to stop his leg from folding underneath him; at this point, they were both in a full-blown run, striking and parrying, in an endless pattern. 'Almost to the courtyard...then...I can radio for pick-up and back-up', Quinlan thought.

"You want to... try to kill.. Aayla? What.. a joke", Quinlan said, panting. "You can't even take me... in a fair fight; how... in the... nine hells would... you be... able to take ...Aayla? She's not likely...to let herself...be taken alone..."

"Save your breath," Aurra said as her last comment as she started blocking his voice and concentrating her full power into the battle at hand. Even if it drained her of every last drop of energy, she was going to have her revenge on the Jedi, and it started with Master Vos.

Nearing the door to the outside courtyard, Sing forgot all notions of safety and sanity, charging directly at the Jedi Master with lightsaber pointing towards him.

Quinlan sensed that from this point, there was no point in trying to communicate with the Dark Jedi, for she was to deeply immersed in the Dark Side; the Kiffar, having been there, pitied her, and decided the fight must end.

Pity, however, went out the window, when, suddenly, Aurra charged directly at him, lightsaber pointed at him. Quinlan side-stepped the charge, and backed away from another wild blow. Then, Quinlan dug his comm-link out of his pocket, as Aurra turned around to charge him again.

"Greetings, Commander. How does the battle go?", said Quinlan, as he ducked a blow meant for his head.

"Successful, General Vos; we managed to defeat the droidekas with heavy weaponry. The Republic wins this day."

"Good. Commander, I need a LAAT in the palace courtyard, as soon as possible. I have a...rogue Jedi here. Have them ready to stun her, and if she attempts to take the lives of your men, and only that...shoot to kill.", Vos said grimly, as he parried another wild swing.

"Yes, General. A LAAT gunship will be on your location within fifteen minutes. Until then, May the Force Be With You."

The Jedi Master didn't have time to respond, before a swipe of Aurra's lightsaber, meant for his hand, sliced the comm-link in two. Then, she made another wild swipe, which Quinlan blocked. 'Sing isnt fighting smart; she's just in a berserker fury', he thought. '

It shouldn't be too difficult to hold her off...'

While berzerking like the mad woman she was, Aurra Sing still noticed his communication with the outside clone forces. Fine, she thought, You win this round... Jedi. But I will be back.

Without saying another word, Aurra Sing pulled back from the engagement and raced off, out the door and to her hidden waiting starship (the one she had used to infiltrate the place earlier).

Quinlan pondered going after her, but decided against it. 'Another day, then', he thought. 'Another day...'

Then, he sat down, to wait for pick-up. True to their word, the clones had a LAAT gunship there within fifteen minutes. It took Quinlan to the orginal dropzone, and, to his surprise, his Jedi Starfighter was fixed. So, with the forces there to occupy Caramm V, the rest of the army was picked up by the Acclamator-class transports, dropped on the Venator-class Star Destroyer, and made the jump to hyperspace.

As Aurra Sing left the planet in her spaceship, she jumped into hyperspace with the coordinates of destination pre-entered into the system. As she left the planet's gravitational pull, the starship's hyperdrive powered up and the starstreaks appeared as she raced across the galaxy.

She had previously decided that after dealing with Vos, she would follow up on a rumor she had heard. Though Vos wasn't dead, she had no choice but to move on... in search of Sidious.

The 501st had been in Transist for several Hours now, and already they were closing upon the Planet Coruscant, during Transit each trooper had Changed their armour, instead of being the Daub Military Grey, they were now clad in their Prestine white combat armour, for all intents and Purposes these were Clones loyal to the Republic and not Loyal to Sidious...

"This is the 501st Legion Reporting in... Making ourselves Known and Awaiting further orders" The Battleship Captain spoke while knowing himself what was about to be unleashed...

A few more hours later the Vast Battleship of the 501st Dropped out of Hyperspace above the planet... a Signal was sent to inform the Republic the 501st had returned from a Fringe system, they had been chasing down a Seperatist Ship that had escaped the battle over Coruscant, and had only just recently managed to destroy it...

Troopers Entered shuttles and various other craft including the Assault Carriers(OOC: I've forgotten the name) and prepared for the assault on The Jedi Temple... So Far No-one Suspected anything....

As the ships jumped out of hyperspace about 40 km from the Death Star, a message was sent to Darth Sideous as ordered. "Transmission begin, send to these coordinates. We have arrived, preparing to dock. Orders requested. End Transmission."

Venator-class Star Destroyer Hunter
Enroute to Coruscant

As soon as he could, Quinlan Vos went into a healing trance, ordering to not be disturbed until they arrived at Coruscant, which was in eight hours, or there was an emergency.

Hoth

After meditating further, Mace was growing tired of waiting. He had heard Ki-Adi Mundi call through the Force, so it was likely that he was around somewhere. Windu decided to go topside and look for himself.
Finding the entrance to the cave, Windu moved some rocks aside with a gentle force push and then tromped up the grassy slope. Climbing up, the air began to get progressively closer the further out from the interior Mace went. Finally reaching the entrance, he pushed some snow aside and then walked out.
Mace met a wall of white, snow swirling around in every direction, a full-blown snowstorm in the highest calibar. Mace shielded his eyes as he looked out, knowing he couldn't stay outside long.

A BARC swooped past a firing droideka, too nimble for the slow droid. firing the speeder's laser cannons, the pilot sped low over a column of Supers, picking off several before banking off. The CIS forces were backing off, moving back to the base walls. The clone infantry advanced, firing and manuevering. AT-TEs led the advance, clearing the way with their mighty turret-mounted projectile cannons.

Suddenly, a peep came on Mundi's starfighter:
"General, we've got a human life sign in .3 kilometers." Mundi immediately turned his fighter and came in for a landing near Mace Windu. He activated his lightsaber, cutting through some snow as he approached Windu, yelling "Master Mace! Get in my Interceptor! It'll keep you warm until we get a transport down here."

Less than ten minutes later, the transport set down, and several clones came and retrieved Windu, bringing him onto the Transport and launching up, escorted by the ARCs and the Jedi Interceptor as they approached the Venator-class Star Destroyer.

"I thought you'd never show up." Mace said with a smile. "But thank you, Master Mundi. You have my sincere thanks."

"Of course, Master Windu. We must hurry. Some of your injuries will be better healed at the Temple." As they boarded the Star Destroyer, Mundi ordered the clones to take Windu to the medbay to have the med officer check him over, and then called up to the bridge to head to Coruscant as quickly as possible.

The Star Destroyer Hoth, ironically, entered hyperspace toward Coruscant.

OOC: The Hoth would be named after the Jedi Lord, not after the planet.

The Shuttles decended across the Atmosphere of Coruscant like an Eagle soaring through the air, Each one was cleared and inbound, as far as the Republic was Concerned these were the Loyal Clones of the Republican Army...

How very wrong they were...

Each Shuttle Split off heading in a Different Direction, 8 Shuttles containing 25 Troopers each Headed towards the Jedi Temple... While the other 8 Shuttles proceeded to the Senate... Sidious had relayed them a message moments before launching the Attack that a strike upon the Senate would throw the Galaxy into Chaos...

The First few shuttles Touched Down, and immeadiatly the Sidious Clones spread out, Moving quickly and Securing the main entrance to the Jedi Temple..

Jedi waiting outside were politely asked to Move inside while the Perimeter was secured, it was under the Guise of Security Protocol, and they'd been sent to sweep the area, Reports of an Assassin Droid working in the area had been comming through...

At the Senate the Same was happening, Any senators around were asked to go inside, while the 501st secured the Perimiter...

In his chambers, Yoda was meditating silently. However, he had recently become uncomfortable, feeling a disturbance and impending evil, but not what had caused them...

((Aurra Sing is heading towards Sidious...))

((How far away?))

A Unit of Clones entered Yodas Chambers with a Respective Nock at the door, The first clone, a Sergent spoke, his voice sounding mechanical through his helmets vocal amplifier...

"Master Yoda.. Could you please Accompany us to the Central Hall of the Temple, There has been an Incident..."

The Sergent spoke while giving yoda a small Bow of Respect.

At the Senate, things were going equally smoothly, Senators were moved into the Great halls as the 501st Effortlessly Secured the perimeter...

At Pademe's Quaters, a Unit of Clones knocked on the Door before entering...
the Sergents voice altered slighlty by the Vocal amplifer like all other clones around him...

"Chancellor Pademe, Your presence is Requested at the Senate, There has been an Incident"

The Trooper bowed slighlty as a sign of respect, and awaited the reponse of Pademe....

Without opening his eyes, Yoda held up a small hand to silence the clone. "Find Skywalker, you will. Allow him to deal with the issue, you shall," Yoda said and with that he dropped his hand again and continued to meditate.

The Trooper Tilted his helmet in a quizical manner, some what the same way a Dog would...

"I'm Sorry Master Yoda... You don't seem to understand... Please.. Accompany us... there has been an Incident.."

The Troopers Readied themselves incase the Jedi Master attempted anything..., Even though they hadn't made it obvious their weapons were raised, they were still dealing with an incident so would be common practice to have weapons ready for any situation...

Still, In one way The Troopers had taken the Advice of Master Yoda and had indeed sent a Squad to go and find Anakin, He was to be taken Prisoner if at all possible and returned to Sidious...

In the Senate, things continued to Go smoothly, the Senators were more than Happy to comply, as Troopers walked up and down the lines of Senators weapons raised, a Sergent was calming people down... some senators annoyed at the practices...

"I'm Sorry Senator.... But its for your own protection..." The Trooper spoke before dismissing it....

The Troopers in Pademe's Chambers awaited her response...

Quinlan continued his mediation, completely unaware of the situation at home....unaware that he will have to make a choice, that could seal his fate as a Jedi...

ETA: 6 hours

"Inform me of the incident, now, you will," Yoda said calmly as he continued to sit upon his chair. "Deal with it, other Jedi can," Yoda explained as he was currently still trying to look into the future through the force, "Busy, I am."

"Master Yoda... You Have no Choice... I am asking you one last time... Please Accompany us to the Central Hall...."

The Troopers now made it obvious their Weapons were raised, following it was a click and a whine indicating the Blaster Rifles were powered up...

In The Central Jedi Chamber where all the Jedi who complied were stood, The Clones raised their Weapons and Opened fire, Blaster bolts flinging out towards the Jedi... Cutting down the First few who were unsuspecting the attack...

Quickly The Jedi Countered, Bringing up their light sabers and deflecting many of the bolts, Troopers went down left and right as bolts struck their armoured chest plates... But still the Lazer Fire Continued, the Clones Layed down volley after volley, well timed and accurate, The Jedi Closing in on the Troopers Using their light sabers and fighting prowes to even the fight, Still clone troopers tore through the Jedi who were encircled and embattled, Lazer Fire Tore through the Central hall in a magnificant display of fire power,

Troopers continued to be Cut down, Sustaining losses, but the Cross fire from the Clones continued to claim more and more Jedi...

-----

The Senate was hit at about the Same time, The Defenseless Senators were cut down like corn, each one taken down with an effective blast to the chest, this part of the Operation was going smoothly, and so far no casualties had been sustained, However the Operation was far from over as several of the Senators had escaped into the internals of the Building and now the Clones were hunting them down...

Meanwhile however, The Clones sent to deal with The Chancellor had decided it was more efficient for them to "Help" her out of the room, They escorted her out of the Building, and onto the landing pad, where several clones were stood on guard outside a Shuttle that was preping to take off back into space and into the Star Destroyer awaiting them...

"Very well," Yoda said as his eyes opened and he picked his staff off the ground. "This incident, to me, bring," Yoda said, playing it off like he didn't realize that the Clones had become traitors to the Republic. He walked towards them, leaning on his cane, as if nothing was the matter... though far from the truth that was. As Yoda crossed his chambers to the awaiting Clones, he could feel the deaths of numerous Jedi inside the Temple and their proximity to him made them feel especially powerful.

As he now stood in their midst, between the clones, he motioned forward to them, "To me, show."

ETA: 5 and a half hours

Quinlan had been in his trance, when the wave of death hit him. Standing upright quickly, breaking out in a sweat...he realized what was causing the death.

"By the Force...The Temple...So perfect. We're gone...and the Sith Lord strikes."

Vos moved as fast as he could- his leg had healed, but he failed to notice in his panic- to the bridges, startling the surprised crewmen. Hesitantly, the Captain approached him.

"General Vos, sure...what seems to be the problem?"
"The Temple is under attack." At these words, the color drained from his face, but the young officer tried to be positive. "Sir...that has to be suicide."

Quinlan vigorously shook his head. "No. You don't understand Captain. Most of the Council's in the Outer Rim- save Yoda."

Immediately, the Captain grasped the gravity of the situation. Turning around, he barked,

"Move this KRIFFING ship as fast it can go, you scruffy nerfherders! The enemy has had the audacity, the GALL, to attack our home. This is our time, OUR hour, to bring it home to those Sith-Spawn. May the Force...be with us all, as we'll need it to be."

Ki-Adi-Mundi suddenly felt the massive wave of death, and knew immediately what it was. He went at high speed to the Bridge, where he immediately ordered the ship to transmit to all ships and forces under his command in the Core and Colonies: "TO CORUSCANT, IMMEDIATELY. CLONE BETRAYAL. ATTEMPT TO FORCE BACK. EN RUOTE NOW. GENERAL MUNDI OUT."

He ordered the ship to full speed.

In the Core, a Venator class Star Destroyer, the Rand, recieved the transmission and entered into hyperspace for immediate deployment to Coruscant. Because of the proximity to Coruscant, it would arrive in less than 20 minutes. The Clone Marines on board did not know what would be there on Coruscant, how many would be left in such an amount of time. Other reinforcements wouldn't be able to get to Coruscant, at least in Mundi's section of the Military, for a full hour. The Marines on the ship had taken great casualties during the Battle of Coruscant, and were, although some of the best, not as good or as numerous as the 501st.

Aayla Secura was asleep on the Star Destroyer Intrepid. She had decided to do this rather then land on Cloud City in case the droids attacked during the night. Suddenly she awoke, ‘something bad is happening at the temple’ she though. Minutes later she was in the hanger bay talking to an officer. “there has been a great disturbance in the force and I must go. While I am preparing to leave I want five shuttles loaded with troopers once they are ready have them sent to Coruscant. once they are there they are to wait for my orders or word from the Jedi Council before doing anything else. Also give this to Commander Bly.” She handed the officer a recording. Soon enough Secura was entering Hyperspace with her Actis fighter.

OOC: i know i'm not going to get to the temple in time but i think this might be a little funner. it gives Bly a chance to do something other then ask Secura what to do next

and the message for Bly basically just says “I have to go for a bit. you have command of the forces while im gone”

So like... Can one of you RP on Bespin? Or are you leaving the garrison to rot?

So like... Can one of you RP on Bespin? Or are you leaving the garrison to rot?

OOC: Canadstein should be RPing it

Master Windu woke up from resting aboard Mundi's ship, realising that a good sleep had done him well. At least it was no longer cold. But a wave of the Force was flowing over him, enveloping him in despair, making a presence known to Windu. He felt something had happened, something bad. But as he was not a hundred percent yet, he was having a hard time detecting its origins.
Mace signalled over for the medic who had been attending to him.

"Doctor, where are we headed right now?"
"Coruscant, I believe, Master Windu."
"Alright, thank you."

Commander Thire was reviewing briefs of the Coruscant lower levels with several other clones of his elite Shock Troopers. Besides the famed 501st, they could be the best of the best, but merely tasked with taking down petty criminals and gangs in the bowels of Coruscant grew...dull, if such a feeling could be achieved for clone troopers. Thire heard a nearby comm station beeping, signifying an inciming transmission. He deactivated the holomap of the undercity and went over to pick it up.

"Unit 4477 standing by."
"Help, this is Senator Danu, they've come for us, they're in the Senate-"

The transmission was briefly interrupted by the sound of metallic boots clanging through corridors.

"There he is, troops, fire!"
"No!!"

The sound of blaster shot echoed through the comm as the line went dead. Thire glanced at it for a moment before putting on his red-emblazoned helmet and signalling the other clones.

"Gather the rest of the men, there's been a disturbance in the Senate, and hurry!"

Bultar Swan was in a hallway heading for the archives to find out as much as she could about her next mission when Clone Troopers approached her. Not knowing her name the Clones simply addressed her as Jedi. “Jedi there has been an incident please come with us.” Said one trooper. “ “What is the nature of this incident?” asked Swan, the Clones answered quickly “we have no time to explain you must come quickly.” “Very well” replied Swan. As Swan and the Clones moved closer to the great hall Swan could feel something was wrong. Then she felt the cries of dieing Jedi concentrating on this a little more Swan sensed what was causing so many Jedi to cry out in pain just before their deaths…She quickly igniting her lightsaber and disabled her two Clone escorts. ‘I have to find as many younglings as I can and get them out of them temple’ she though as she ran off to find them.

OOC: hope everyone is ok with this post

A BARC swooped past a firing droideka, too nimble for the slow droid. firing the speeder's laser cannons, the pilot sped low over a column of Supers, picking off several before banking off. The CIS forces were backing off, moving back to the base walls. The clone infantry advanced, firing and manuevering. AT-TEs led the advance, clearing the way with their mighty turret-mounted projectile cannons.
((If you won't RP Bespin.... Also, whats a BARC? Also, no infantry support? Tsk tsk.....))

As the AT-TEs led the way, the not yet cleared out anti-tank guns fired. A few over here and a smattering over there, they where embedded in he rock, located in tree tops, and sometimes to far to see with your own eye. They slowly concentrated the fire onto the lead AT-TE, the squat machine soon lost power. As the clones decided what to do B2's popped up from the ground firing. As the clones backed away from close range firing (the bane of clone formations) droidekas attacked in earnest, unfloding their shapes and flooding the landscape with laser bolts. As this all happened a over burdened tri-fighter lept into view....

Master Tholme was in his room meditating as three clones entered his room. They came to him and said "General, there's been an incident." as most Jedi held that rank, "We need you to come to the main hall." He slowly broke his trance as he stood up very slowly, and saying "Lead on." As they began to leave the room, he heard through the Force the deaths of Jedi. He then heard muffled blaster shots, and lightsabers activating in the main hall. Immediately sensing something was wrong, Tholme's lightsaber went up a second before one of his "escorts" opened fire. He sliced through two of the escorts with his green blade, and reflected a blaster bolt into the third. He immediately began to speed himself up through the Force, trying to get to the hall as quickly as possible. As he passed the Jedi Council chamber, he saw the massacre as Jedi tried to reflect the countless blaster bolts. He then sat in an attempt at Battle Meditation, but he found that the advanced ability would not work with the pain of the deaths of Jedi. Tholme jumped forward with the Force, activating his lightsaber in mid-air, and landing in the middle of about a dozen clones in a close area, smashing into the area with enough force to knock most of them away. He cast a Force Wave all around him as he landed, knocking back more troopers, as he turned to reflect more lasers from ahead.

OOC: Remember that Tholme was Quinlan Vos' Jedi Master.

"Very well," Yoda said as his eyes opened and he picked his staff off the ground. "This incident, to me, bring," Yoda said, playing it off like he didn't realize that the Clones had become traitors to the Republic. He walked towards them, leaning on his cane, as if nothing was the matter... though far from the truth that was. As Yoda crossed his chambers to the awaiting Clones, he could feel the deaths of numerous Jedi inside the Temple and their proximity to him made them feel especially powerful.

As he now stood in their midst, between the clones, he motioned forward to them, "To me, show."

The Clones left with Master Yoda, Five of them in total, each one flanking him, Two Behind, Two Infront, and one ahead of the Group...

Their Blasters were ready, ready incase this Master decided to become a Hero..

In the Central Hall, Clones and Jedis Continued to clash, Lazer Bolts were being exchanged with Jedi, as Clones and Jedi Alike continued to Fall...

But in this Deadly crossfire, The Clones had the Upper hand, and Soon the Clones would be victorious..

In the Senate, The Clones had Moved on, Hunting down the Senators that had managed to escape, Leaving nothing but an Immense pile of Corpses... Senators, Each one lay in an horrific posture, their eyes dead and staring, their chest cavity blown open by a high Caliber Bolt....

The Clones now moved from room to room, clearing the senate in a systematicaly with military precision, each room was check and cleared, While at the same Time clones in the lower areas of The Senate began setting up Demolition Charges, that would be detonated once the Mission had been completed...

Chancellor Pademe was Ushured onto the Shuttle, where In a few Minutes it would take off and return to the Star Destroyer in orbit...

That is.... If no one rescues her from the Evil Clones...

Yoda walked along one of the many halls of the Jedi Temple as if nothing was wrong with the Clone Troopers flanking him - just a naive old Jedi. He leaned slightly on his staff and its clanging against the floor echoed through the now empty hall. The proceeding was slow as the revered Jedi Master had very small steps and was in no hurry to make them larger or faster.

Suddenly, without warning, as all seemed normal, a powerful force wave hit the clone troopers around him, sending them into the walls and ground. The once docile looking Grand Master had sprung into action with impossible speed. His lightsaber leapt from his side and ignited with a buzzing sound. The clones who were just beginning to regain their equilibrium were soon being cut down by renowned swordsman. The four clones immediately around him had fallen to the green streak of Yoda's lightsaber as the one who had been scouting ahead finally got to his feet and raised his blaster to fire. Yoda swung around and through his lightsaber, guiding it with the force directly through the clone's chest.

After retrieving his lightsaber, Yoda turned it off and returned it to his belt as he picked up his staff. Slightly out of breath, the venerable Jedi Master was no worse for wear and proceeded down the hallway alone. "No longer corrupted by the dark side, you are..."

((OOC: What is up with you and capital letters, Kraven?))

Thire and the Shock Troops had hurried fast to the Senate, the gunships racing to get the elite clones to their destination. Standing in front of several of the entrances, the clones with their DC-17 rifles raised for fire. The charges went off, clearing the openings as clones poured into the building, guns at the ready, but no active resistance meeting them. Thire paused for a moment to meet with his subordinates.

"Alright, take your group off to cover the main chamber, you spread out to the left wing, I'll take the right wing, move out!"

"Alright, take your group off to cover the main chamber, you spread out to the left wing, I'll take the right wing, move out!"

A Squad of five troopers from the 501st came up to Commander Thire, their weapons held in a non aggressive manner...

"Welcome Commander" The Sergent spoke... "We received a Distress call from The Senate, Same as I presume you did...." The Sergent now stood with Commander Thire..

"An Assassin Droid managed to get in, Its done a bad number on the Senate... I'd brace yourself for when you see it...Our Forces are combing the building now for it..."

"Right." said Thire, unassuming. "Have your men cover the main chamber, I'll have my troops take the outer wings.

"Understood Commander..." The Squad Moved off... the 501st were now aware of Thire's Clones, For now they would keep the Ruse Going... Assisting Thire where ever possible...

The Extermination had now stopped, while deep in the bowls of the Senate, a squad of clones continued to Prepare the Explosives...

After dispatching his 'escort', Yoda made his way down the halls and into the communications center of the Temple, though acting as if he was none the wiser. There he planned to create a transmission on both the public and private channels that a legion of clones had become traitors against the Jedi and Republic...

The Clones had prepared for any attempt at sending communications out, and had posted Sentries at the door, Two Guards armed with standard blaster rifles..

"I'm Sorry Master Yoda, we cannot permit you access to the Comm's centre"

They raised their weapons to hit home their point...

"Access to the comm room, you will allow me," Yoda said as he lifted one hand off of his staff and made an odd gesture - an old Jedi mind trick.

"Afterwards, leave the temple, you will..." Yoda again persuaded through the force.

"My apologies Master Yoda" one of the Troopers spoke as they both side stepped... Then Began to walk, leaving the temple... they got to the end of the corridor, when their senses over came them, Turning they Ran back towards the Comms centre, their Blaster weapons spitting red hot bolts of lazer towards the Jedi master...

"This is Unit 8144, Master Yoda has reached the Comm's centre, Requesting Backup"

Thire was commanding his half of the Shock Troops when they saw a figure running towards them through the halls of the left wings of the Senate. Raising rifles, Thire called out.

"Halt! What's your business?"

The figure realized they were not the same clones as the 501st from the Shock Troops's red emblams, and began frantically recounting.

"Commander...the other clones are here, they attacked the Senators, most are dead, I'm one of the only ones left."
"Who are you?"
"Senator Banu Breemu..."
"You said the others were hunting down Senators?"
"Yes, please help us..."
"We'll be on it. I'll send some of my men to escort you out."

Thire turned around to his men.

"We have a state of insurrection here. If you see soldiers with gray markings, take positions and require them to stand down. If they refuse, you have permission to open fire."
"Yes sir."

As the two sentries that Yoda had tricked regained their senses and turned to fire, the Jedi Master had long since made his way into the communications center.

The venerable Master might have been old but he still knew his way around things and certainly was no fool. As he was walking inside he ignited his lightsaber and destroyed the security pad outside the door, barring any chance of keying the code in. After the doors closed behind him, Yoda hurried to fininsh off the other precautions: he locked the doors, changed the security clearance and jammed them shut.

After he was secure inside the comm room, Yoda went about his task of broadcasting a public message to the rest of Coruscant (including Thire's Elite Shock Troopers) that the 501st had turned against the Republic and Jedi...


((OOC: I assume since you didn't indicate otherwise, there are no clones inside the comm center.))

Thire got the inbound comm from Yoda just after his troops escorted Breemu out of the building.

"Confirmation from Master Yoda, soldiers. If you see members of the 501st, open fire on those traitors to the Republic."

The Senate

The 501st Were preparing to leave, On shuttles, and Gunships they began to climb on board, A few squads were left behind however to ensure that the Explosives were not discovered, to tie up the Clones of Thire..

Ambushes were set up along the Senate, and Traps were set up, Proxim Mines were layed in Rooms and in corridors covering the 501st's retreat. while Heavy Blasters were set up on Tripods at the end of corridors..

Comm's Room, Jedi Temple

The Clones had now reached the door, and began to type the code in, unfortunatly the door had been damaged and was unusable, they began to hammer at the door awaiting for the other clones...

"This is Unit 8144,The Jedi has barricaded himself in the Comms room, Bring Thermal Detonators.."

Yoda had long since finished relaying the message across Coruscant and now awaited the clones arrival.

He listened intently as the Clones began banging on the door and then subsequently stopped as they called for thermal charges. The battle had arrived...

Just after Unit 8144 sent the message for thermal detonators, the door sprung open through Yoda's control of the force - just as it did, out flund Yoda's lightsaber, guided by the force and began chopping down the clones in its path.

Thire and several clones burst into a room on the trail of 501st members. A laser trap on the far wall immediately spat fire at them, taking down the clone to Thire's left as the clones ducked behind the wall.

"Laser trap...get a detonator in there, clone."
"I'm on it lead."

One of the troops dragged a concussion greande from his bandolier, quickly set a charge, and then chucked it threw the door opening. The following explosion stunned the laser trap long enough for Thire to whipa round and eliminate the menace with several quick shots from his blaster rifle.

"Comamnder, reports say the legions are departing the building."
"Right, we're on it. All clones get to the exits, the enemies are departing, after them."

As the 501st began to leave, he hid himself, using a Mind Trick to hide his body. As the clones began to leave the Temple, and they began to clash with Thire's defenders, the hidden Tholme activated his green lightsaber and attacked the clones from behind, striking as many as possible. He then dissappeared as he Force jumped over the entrance, he hid himself, and then began to make his way silently away, toward the Archives. He hoped that some padawans and younglings, and possibly some older Jedi had survived in the Archives, which did not seem to have any clones coming out.

OOC: Please let some Jedi survive in the Archives, like Jocasta Nu and possibly some more padawans and younglings.

Yoda had long since finished relaying the message across Coruscant and now awaited the clones arrival.

He listened intently as the Clones began banging on the door and then subsequently stopped as they called for thermal charges. The battle had arrived...

Just after Unit 8144 sent the message for thermal detonators, the door sprung open through Yoda's control of the force - just as it did, out flund Yoda's lightsaber, guided by the force and began chopping down the clones in its path.

The Clones fell easily, before once again the Corridor ignited with lazer fire, the Clones were well aware of Yoda's capabilities, so were prepered for this little bundle of joy... so to speak.

The attack was bolstered by Several Concusion grenades that were thrown down the corridor, while at the same time flanked by lazer fire, Two Blaster Cannons were being set up on tripods as the other Clones continued to lay down a volley of fire...

In The Central hall, things were still embattled, Clone vs Jedi, with more from both sides falling, Clones gunning down Jedi After Jedi, while at the same time, Jedi were cutting down clone after clone...

In The Senate, The Clones left behind Engaged the Clones of Thire, they stormed into the Corridors, flanked by Thermal Detonators, and Concusion grenades, The Senate was alive with Lazer Fire...

As the Rest of the Clones, finaly loaded up into the Shuttle, and prepared to leave, the Last few Clones waiting to leave behind more traps to help cover their tracks...

The Clone Captain, sat in the shuttle held the Detonator, and when they were clear, the Senate would be demolished...

Pademe, was ushered on board, and as the clones closed the Ramp, the engines powered up, preparing to take back to the sky...

After the green lightsaber sliced through many a clone's body, it returned to Yoda's hand, still inside the comm room. Reflecting the odd shot which managed to get in the doorway, Yoda again closed the doors with the force - then for good measure he tipped over a heavy metal structure across the door.

The 'defenses' would hold off the clones for a short period of time while he made his get away. Forcing open a small vent in the back of the room, Yoda climbed into the ventilation shafts that laced the building and began crawling away...

Master Tholme made it quickly to the archives, killing the few clones attempting to gain entry through a sealed door. He pushed forward with the Force, opening the archives, and made it into the archives. He sealed the door behind him. In the Archives were young padawans and younglings, hiding, with weapons at ready. He said to them "Come with me. We have to get to an Air Transport and escape the Temple."
"What about the other Jedi?"
"They can...handle themselves, for now. Come, we must hurry. Follow me." He Force-jumped to a higher ledge, signaling for the Padawans to follow him. He cut open a ventilation shaft with his lightsaber, and sent the padawans through. He said "Go straight, and this will lead to the Room of a Thousand Fountains. There may be other escaped Jedi there (OOC: Might be a good place for Yoda to find them.) You can make your way from there to the space transports. I'll meet you there."
As the last few padawans entered, he asked one of them, Zett Jukasa, "Where is Jocasta Nu?"
"She went out when the clones came."
The Jedi Master grimaced as he held his lightsaber. He said to the remaining padawans "You are the oldest. Watch for the younglings. If you see clones, try and hide, but don't scatter. You are stronger as a unit than separate."
"Where are you going, Master Tholme?"
"Don't worry about me. I'll be along."
As the last padawans entered the vent, he used the Force to grab one of the statues of the Lost 20, and placed it in the vent. He looked and grimaced as he saw that he had inadvertently grabbed Count Dooku's bust.
"How ironic." he remarked to himself, as he ensured the seal in front of the vent, used the Force and jumped to a higher vent, and killed the few clones on his way to a lift. He went into the lift, and set it to go to the top of the tallest spire, and he was going to retrieve as many Jedi Holocrons and records of the Jedi as he could.

Three Clones came around a corner only to meet there deaths as Bultar Swan slashed through each of them with her green lightsaber. Sensing more Clones approaching she entered the closest door she could find it just happened to be the Room of a Thousand Fountains, moments later a ventilation shaft burst open, startled Swan turned quickly and ignited her lightsaber. Seeing it was only Padawans and Younglings she shut her lightsaber off. “Is everyone alright?” she asked

OOC: DMG, unless you consider yourself to busy would you mind Rping one of the Padawans(say the “leader” of the group, most likely Bene or Ekria though the choice would be up to you) as I prefer Rping conversations with other people then making them up myself

Bene, one of the older members of the escaping group, turned to Bultar Swan and nodded. "Master Tholme told us to run," she said. "The clones were trying to group us together in order to.... kill us, but the few of us here managed to escape."

"I want to help..."

"Damn it!" uttered Thire. "I want all units to converge and wipe out the traitors!"

A concussion grenade whipped by two clones as Thire popped off more blaster bolts at the retreating 501 clones from behind a door.

As Tholme left the lift as it arrived in the tallest spire of the Temple, he saw the magnificence of statues, both computerized and written-out texts, and holocrons. He moved quickly to one area, of which he knew little. He was retrieving several holocrons from the shelf, but he was too quick and he lost one. It tumbled to the floor and came active.
"Hello...Jedi. The name's Atton, Atton Rand, member of the Jedi Council and..." Tholme quickly shut off the holocron as he placed it in his robe. He then pulled out a few more holocrons, as many as possible, and then made his way to the lift, and made his way down from the Spire.

“help, why of course you can help. You will all help me get you out of here alive. This room will not stay safe forever and there are to many Clones for all the Jedi here to face. After we get out we will hide and wait for word from a council member or at very least another Jedi before reentering the temple.” Replied Bultar Swan

Anakin Skywalker had left Padme sleeping. She was exhausted with everything going on, so he decided that he would make her breakfast. Anakin had gone to the market district and had managed to get some arubian mangosteens. They were her favorite fruit but they were hard to find this close to the galactic core. He had also picked up lizard eggs from his home planet of Tatooine. He could make a mean omlet when he wanted to. He was strolling back to Senate building, eating a juicy mangosteen, and spitting out the seeds. When he saw the first shocktroopers run past him. It was only a patrol and they were probably coming to deal with a criminal gang or something. He continued eating the mangosteen when 2 platoons of shocktroppers ran past him. At the same time he felt the deaths of Jedi from the temple. He had to make a decision, should he do his duty and find out what was happening at the temple, or should he go to his love and see if she is alright.

That was no decision, he started running toward the senate where the chancellor's quaters were. He quickly caught up with a platoon and asked the platoon sargeant, "Trooper, what happening?" The Sargeant turned to look at him and saw the lightsaber, he quickly replied, "It's the 501st, they have turned traitor on us, Master Jedi. They apparently massacered the senate." Fear gripped Anakin's heart, he yelled at the trooper, "What about the Chancellor, any reports on her." The sargeant just shook his head no. Anakin let the force flow into him, he felt his speed increase. He passed the other platoon and the squad and finally arrived at the Galactic Senate.

While running through the corridors he saw commander Thire with a detachment of shocktroopers battling the retreating 501st. He ran up to him and demanded, "Where is the chancellor?"

Near the tail end of the assault on the Jedi Temple and the Senate, Quinlan's forces arrived. Led by the Clone Commander, Promethus, their objective was simple: save as many Jedi as possible, escort them to transportation, and secure them on Venator-class Star Destroyer Hunter until is was safe to re-enter the Temple.

Docking in the Temple hangar, Promethus and his forces entered the spacious area warily. They wished that the Jedi Master was helping to spearhead the rescue mission, but he said he had to 'step out'. As Promethus's forces made their way through the hangar, they encountered sentries of the 501st, who, true to their abilities, dropped three of his men, before they were taken down in a blaze of blasterfire. 'What could be more important then this', Promethus thought as he rounded a corner.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chancellor Palpatine Surgical Reconstruction Center, or ChanPal SuRecon Center

Quinlan nervously walked through the pristine halls of one the most prestigious medical treatment centers in the Galaxy. Against the nurse's better judgement, she had decided to let him visit Khaleen, who had gone into labor shortly after the 501st had launched their attack. As he neared the room, the room, he heard profanities that would make a smuggler blush.

As Quinlan pushed the door open, he heard Khaleen scream at a cowering young doctor, "...Tell me that this shouldn't kriffin' hurt. You push a baby out of your...". Then, she caught sight of Quinlan, and a vast array of emotions flashed across her face, before she appeared happy to see him, motioning to get closer. Smiling nervously, he came closer.

Big mistake. With speed uncommon for a woman in so much agony, Khaleen snatched a datapad nearby, and slammed it so hard into Quinlan's head it shattered. His eyes rolled to the back of his head, and he fell over. "THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR DOING THIS TO ME! THIS IS YOUR FAULT, YOU STUPID STRIPED-FACE KRIFFIN KIFFAR!", she screamed,attempting to struggle out of bed to throttle the Jedi Master, before being pushed (with great difficulty) down by several orderlies...

Bly had ordered about five AT-APs and ten AT-TE's to be dropped at the beachhead. The order was given and the vechiles dropped. Commander Bly lead the charge into Cloud City. While charging and shooting he wondered how Deviss was doing. An ATT appeared and shot it's cannon blowning up a AT-TE. The remaining AT-TE's opened fire and blew it up. Then the B-1 battle droids came out and started to fire at the 327th. Bly ordered the Corps to keep attacking while he two squads of me to attack the HQ of the CIS. Bly and the two squads made their way to the tallest building in the city and HQ of the CIS. Bly opened fire on the droids in the lobby. One of the privates hacked the elevator and the two squads filled it. The elevator went up. When going up Bly wondered who commanded the army here.

Thire set down his rifle and saluted to Skywalker.

"Last reports saw her being taken to a shuttle to be escorted off-planet by the traitors, master Skywalker. We haven't seen much else from that, now that we're out of the Senate we can assist you in tracking her though. Where do you want us to go?"

Obi-Wan felt a great disturbance on Corusant. With the 212th Attack Battalion and Commander Cody they left Utapau. Once making it to Corusant they landed in the hangar of the Jedi Academy. Obi-Wan jumped out with Cody and saw the clones shooting at other clones. Running up to Commander Obi-Wan asked.

"What is happening here?"

Cody organized his men and started to fire on the 501st legion with Promethus' men.

OOC: Who is Obi Wan addressing? Thire?

Promethus hastily saluted Obi-Wan, before firing, clipping a 501st clone trooper.

"The 501st Legion has gone rogue, General Kenobi. They have attacked the Jedi Temple and Senate. We are a contignent of the Sector Army assigned to Senior Jedi General Quinlan Vos, tasked with saving the Jedi younglings. Can you lead us to them, General Kenobi?"

Promethus hastily saluted Obi-Wan, before firing, clipping a 501st clone trooper.

"The 501st Legion has gone rogue, General Kenobi. They have attacked the Jedi Temple and Senate. We are a contignent of the Sector Army assigned to Senior Jedi General Quinlan Vos, tasked with saving the Jedi younglings. Can you lead us to them, General Kenobi?"

OOC: on this note Canadstein, if you go looking for them they are in the Room of a Thousand Fountins (or something like that, i cant remember) under the guard of Bultar Swan(my temp charicter for this battle)

Obi Wan looked toward Promethus.

"I will lead you with my men also."

Obi Wan forced pushed a couple of the 501st Legion men and then jumped and cut them to piece.

"Charge!"

Obi Wan deflect the shots from the rogue clone troopers. The 212th charged at the rogue clones. The 501st men were falling all over the place. Calling out to Promethus.

"Let's get going!I feel the Jedi in Room of a Thousand Fountians "

Obi Wan started to run out of the cleared out hangar to find the younglings.

Obi Wan looked toward Promethus.

"I will lead you with my men also."

Obi Wan forced pushed a couple of the 501st Legion men and then jumped and cut them to piece.

"Charge!"

Obi Wan deflect the shots from the rogue clone troopers. The 212th charged at the rogue clones. The 501st men were falling all over the place. Calling out to Promethus.

"Let's get going!I feel Jedi in the Bultar Swan"

Obi Wan started to run out of the cleared out hangar to find the younglings.

OOC: You feel Jedi in the Bultar Swan? Bultar Swan is a Jedi...

“help, why of course you can help. You will all help me get you out of here alive. This room will not stay safe forever and there are to many Clones for all the Jedi here to face. After we get out we will hide and wait for word from a council member or at very least another Jedi before reentering the temple.” Replied Bultar Swan

"I will follow your lead, Master," the young Padawan replied, both nervous and excited for a battle that may lay ahead.

Honoghr

Neyo reviewed the last data transmits from Coruscant...things weren't going well for the capital planet apparently. First invasion and the kidnapping of the Chancellor...and who knew how long this had been going on, transmissions to the Outer Rim could take quite some time. Neyo looked up again as an AT-TE proceeded to demolish the ruins of a CIS outpost, then glanced back at the transmission, deciding his duty lay here in the sieges.

Anakin ordered Commander Thire, "I want every military ship in the air now, their orders are to make sure the 501st can't escape. Destroy or disable the Star Destroyers they came in. If anyone sees the shuttle, that is holding the chancellor, they are to force it down to the ground. If weapons are necessary they are to use ion canons. Only use lasers as a last resort, and do not use photon torpedoes on the shuttle. Also radio the hanger tell them to get my fighter prepped." The last sentence was shouted over Anakin's shoulder as he raced toward the hanger bay.

OOC: That's not really in Thire's job description but I'll make do...

IC:

"Yes sir!"

Thire quickly commed Headquarters with the predicament.

"Report from Master Skywalker, we need capital ships that are around in orbit immediately, and intercept the shuttle holding the chancellor. Take out those traitor ships."

In his haste, he quickly left out the parts about ion cannons and disabling the shuttle, not destroying it. He quickly commed the hanger.

"Prep Master Skywalker's Eta 2 for combat flight, at once."

Promethus's men followed Obi-Wan and Commander Cody's 212th attack Battalion, staying behind the legendary "Negotiator" as he easily dispatched patrols of 501st Legionnaires. However, as they went up, there seemed to be more and more of them, and for every one rogue clone trooper killed, they lost three clone troopers.

As they rounded another corner, and found another contignent of the 501st, Promethus asked Obi-Wan, "General Kenobi, how far are we from the Room of a Thousand Fountains?"

"Not that much futher."

Obi-Wan maded his way finally to Room of a Thousand Fountains. On the way he killed more rogue clone troopers. They saw Bultar Swan. Obi-Wan ordered Cody and Promethus to

"I want a secure perimeter around this room. Also Promethus I need you to alert and get more troops here."

Walking up to Bultar Swan.

"Did you see any other Jedi left?"

Cody and his men watched for any 501st men. A couple tried to attack but were blasted by the Cody.

Promethus saluted. "Sir, we can set up a perimeter, but we don't have any reinforcements, apart from the 212th Attack Battalion. I suggest we take our leave soon...."

"I want you to lead the men out with Bultar Swan and the younglings. I have something I need to take care of here. Cody and you need to work together to get out of here." Obi-Wan saluted Promethus. Cody walked over toward Obi-Wan with one of the dead 501st Lieutenants.

"Good job Cody. I will see you soon."

"Good, now get ready to leave. i sense far fewer clones outside." said Swan to Bene.

she opened the door to see Obi-Wan Kenobi and several loyal clones comming closer, as they fought through 501st clones she told the Padawans to stay inside. she then proceded to cut through several clones, making it easier for Kenobi to reach her. when the 501st clones in the area where dead he asked "Did you see any other Jedi left?"

Bultar answered "there are several Padawans and Younglings inside the Room of a Thousand Fountains here but thats all i have seen as of yet."

"Bultar you are leaving with the clones. There is no way you can live if you stay here. While I will stay here." Obi-Wan turned toward the clones.

"Men we are getting out of here. I want you to protect this Jedi with your lifes Do you understand?"

Obi-Wan was starting to put on the armour of the dead lieutenant. He finally put on the helmet.

"Well I'm going to mix in with the ranks to find out here Palpintine is located."

He also picked up a gun and the ammo.

OOC: Guys, it is great that a lot of people are online and posting, but I would recommend that you not go any farther. Kraven is vital to this part of the RP and he currently is not on.

Anakin made it to the hanger in record time. He saw other clone pilots were already lifting off in their ARC-170's. He saw his fighter and that the last pump was being removed from its injection point. He increased his speed and then force-jumped directly into the pilot seat. He strapped in and punched the repulsors. "Come on, come on..." he kept on muttering to himself. Finally he reached the minmal saftey altitude for sublight engines, he accelrated as fast as humanly possible. He knew he should be going to the temple to try to help out there, but he couldn't abandon Padme like that.

He broke free of the atmosphere and shouted, "R2, I want you to find me that shuttle as quickly as possible."

R2 instead of scanning the ships directly, went to the Courascant Flight control computer and queried if a military shuttle had left the Galactic senate where would it be now. The computer quickly provivded R2 with the coordinates and R2 put them on the screen. Anakin saw a squadren of ARC-170's, their FOF (Friend or Foe) id said they were fourth squadren. I ordered them to cover me. Then accelerated after the shuttle.

OOC: Sorry DMG, didn't see your post till after I was done. But I shortened it so that I didn't reach the shuttle

OOC: Doesn't seem like a big problem. However, I would jump to conclusions about what the 501st (Kraven) is doing - he might be (or already have) withdrawing all of the 501st or detonating the explosions, including those, if he has them, in the hangars.

Overall - wait for Kraven to post before making your own (message to everyone).

"Bultar you are leaving with the clones. There is no way you can live if you stay here. While I will stay here." Obi-Wan turned toward the clones.

"Men we are getting out of here. I want you to protect this Jedi with your lifes Do you understand?"

Obi-Wan was starting to put on the armour of the dead lieutenant. He finally put on the helmet.

"Well I'm going to mix in with the ranks to find out here Palpintine is located."

He also picked up a gun and the ammo.

"Sir, Yes Sir!", they said in unison, snapping to attention.

The clones formed a circle around the Padawans and younglings, as the urged them forward, nearly making them break into a run. Unfortunentely, it made them vulnerable to the 501st's attacks.

By time they reached the hangar, only about a dozen clone troopers were left...and the 501st were right on them. Promethus made a decision. He was to protect the Jedi at all costs. Even if it meant his life.

"Go. I'll buy you time to lift off", he said. The group stared at him, astonished. "GO!", he roared, as a group of rogue clones came before them. They rushed onto the transports and they lifted off, just as Promethus roared and charged forward...

He felt a round of blasterfire pierce his chest. He could feel his heartbeat slowing. Then his left leg. But Promethus still fired at the clones, until his rifle ran ou of ammo. Then, he pulled out two blaster pistols. Firing well-placed shots, he screamed at the assembled clones nearby,

"Bring on your thousands, one at a time or all in a rush. I don't give a damn. None shall pass, you hear me? NONE SHALL PASS!"

He rushed at them, firing wildily, the adrenaline pumping in his system. He kep firing until he lost his ammo, then he went hand-to-hand. Promethus finally went down with a blow to the skull, and the clones peppered his corpse with blasterfire, lighting the hangar with red and blue light.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quinlan came around from his unconsciousness about an hour later, and rushed past a nurse, who looked at him dissaproving and muttered, "Stupid Jedi...". He ignored her, and rushed to his wife's side.

“I’m right here! You don’t need to scream my name. I’m not going anywhere. I’ve been here. Now…would you please just calm down?”


Glimpsing her face, Quinlandidn’t need to Force to tell him he was in trouble.

With a strength that Quinlan had never seen in his wife in all the years he’d known her, a powerful hand grabbed his robe around the neck with stunning speed and precision and pulled the corners of the robe tight. Vos's eyes opened wide as he realized that she was beginning to cut off his air supply. She pulled him down to her face, eyes blazing with anger.

“I AM CALM!!” she screamed. Quinlan's face was beginning to redden.

“Yes…dear…” He gasped out. He had the good sense not to try and pry her hand free from his collar, though he wasn’t sure if he even had the strength to do so if he wanted to. “I can see that…you’re calm! I’m sorry…” Khaleen glared at him a moment longer before she pushed him away with a disgusted look. She directed her wrath now at the droid standing pointlessly between her legs.

“Are you planning on doing anything down there anytime soon?” she yelled. The droid made the mistake of trying to respond with explanations of medical procedures for delivering babies. It was pointing out to Khaleen that she had only become fully dilated a few moments ago and that the babies might not come for several more minutes and up to an hour. Quinlan cringed.

“WHAT??” cringe. “An HOUR? I hope for your sake you’re---aggghhhhh!!!”

OOC EDIT: Damn, didn't see that post to wait for Kraven. I'm pretty sure I didn't write out anything horrible, but if I did, someone tell me.

Cin Drallig had just come out of hyperspace when he felt the ripple of the force. The Jedi temple was under attack. He rushed up to the cockpit and told the pilot to go back to the capital. The pilot looked confused but had stoped questioning Cin's orders."yes,sir," he said as they jumped to hyperspace.

The Jedi Master Tholme arrived at the Room of a Thousand Fountains, casting up his lightsaber as soon as he saw the clones, but deactivating as he saw Obi-Wan. "Master Obi-Wan! You're back. As you can see, the Dark Side has broken loose here in the Temple. These of the 501st killed many Jedi in the initial assault. We need to stop them."

The Battle had Raged for Several hours, Clones of all ranks had Clashed with Jedi, Blaster bolts and various Colour light sabers flashed about the room in a Bright almost crimson sea of conflict...

All around the two locations, explosions from Thermal Detonators and other trip mines permiated the air with a distinct noise and smell...

Ozone filled the air from blasters, and corpses of Both Jedi and Clone littered the place...

Obi wan and Cody had hit the place hard however, and swept through many squads, But still the 501st had the Advantage on Numbers and Skill, and while obi wans light saber cut down many a clone, and Cody's troops fought bravely, many of their Clones were cut down in the advance...

Clones began to fall back, Withdrawing from the Jedi Temple in staggered formations, one falling back, while another team covered them, Thermal detonators and various other weapons, including smoke grenades and Photon Flares were used to cover the withdraw, the Clones had left Yoda, deeming the small Green Jedi master an Annoyance rather than a Threat...

But Obi wan could tip the Battle in The Favour of the Jedi, so the General Retreat was called...

The Remaining Clones fell back to the Shuttles and Assault Craft, While the Engines were prep'd and ready to go, the clones stormed up the ramps, while the Pilots gunned the engines, pulling the Craft slowy off the Landing pads, while the Assault craft gave cover for the last remaining clones, their heavy lazer cannons putting down a fearsome volley of fire...

The Same was happening at the Senate, The Shuttles slowly began to lift off, various Shuttles and Assault craft taking once more to the skies, their Engines shuddered and struggled under the weight of these fearsome Stormtroopers, as One by one they headed back to the Star Destroyer...

The Clones Engageing Thire were playing a game of Cat and Mouse, ambushing a group of Thire's Clones, then like a fisherman reel's in his catch, Drew them towards the Centre of the Senate...

The Commander of the 501st, now safely inside the Shuttle... lifted up the protective plastic cover of the Demolition switch....

Veiwing it with Cold Disregard for human life, made even more cold by the empty black lenses of his helmet... he flicked the switch...

Coruscant Shuddered that night.... It reeled back from the Destruction... the Senate... the building of Galactic Power, brought to Naught in a few simple hours...

The Explosion tore through the building with an immense blast wave that crumbled pillars, cracked walls, collapsed floors and ceilings... slowly... peice by peice.. The Senate fell... along with the Corpses of Clone Troopers and Senators...

The Fire Ball Rose High into the sky, overshadowing the tall buildings around Coruscant, as the Former Senate as now... No More... nothing but a flameing, twisted wreck of Burnt steel and rubble... an Empty Carcass...

The Chancellor... Pademe was safely on board... "Persuaded" By the clones to join them, she sat... not Bound or Gagged, but free in the shuttles many seats, The Clones had payed special attention to her, offering her a drink or something to eat...

while the Shuttle now joined the rest of the Ships bound for the Star Destroyer.. The 501st's mission was Over....

Almost 100% success rate the 501st left Coruscant victorious...

Once Safely onboard their Star Destroyer... it left Orbit and headed back to its starting location.... The Death Star...

However to Cover its tracks, it was making many Short hops, in different Directions, making it almost impossible for any one to Track or Follow the Vessel....

"Transmission to Death Star: Long Range: Darth Sideous: Requesting orders. Sending to General Grievous as well. End Transmission."

"Transmission to General Grievous Beacon: Long Range: Requesting orders. Sending to Darth Sideous as well. End Transmission."

"Transmission to General Grievous Beacon: Long Range: Requesting orders. Sending to Darth Sideous as well. End Transmission."

The manborg in question looked at the transmission and felt the ever occuring itch in his chest, he lasped into a coughing fit and leaned down on the metal desk. He flicked his eyes over to the dimintive Nemodian crouched over the long range space transmission.

"Who is this?"

The Nemodian looking very scared, passed out.

Once Safely onboard their Star Destroyer... it left Orbit and headed back to its starting location.... The Death Star...

However to Cover its tracks, it was making many Short hops, in different Directions, making it almost impossible for any one to Track or Follow the Vessel....

OOC: Umm..what about the ships I ordered to engage your star destroyers? Also, Anakin is chasing after the shuttle that has Padme in it, I think in a jedi starfighter he could catch up pretty quick.

OOC: Accept that everything you guys were doing was done when Kraven was offline and thus unable to respond. Using fluid time he removed his forces. There was a lot of slight GMing go around so in order to remedy the situation, Kraven (with my agreement) made a post with him removing his forces.

Master Tholme chose to remove himself back to the Main Spire and return the things he had taken to protect.
((MY LAST POST AS MASTER THOLME))
-------------------
The Hoth exited hyperspace over Coruscant, seeing the remains from a space battle (there would have been a space battle, whether or not the massive battle with many Star Destroyers took place). They entered into Coruscanti orbit as they sent transmissions across the Army holonet requesting information on what had happened. Ki-Adi-Mundi also sent a transmission to the Jedi Temple questioning what had happened, though he felt that he already knew the answer.

The medics were ordered to awaken Master Windu and bring him to the Bridge.

Cody saw Promethus go down with honor. He ran out and shot at the clones. Grabbing Promethus' dead body Cody put his body in a ship. Looking at Bultar Swan.

"Did all the Jedi with you get out General Swan?"




General Obi-Wan meet up with some of the 501st and used a Jedi Mind Trick to make them believe he was a Lieutenant. Walking with the rouge clones they made their way up to a dropship and made their way up to the star destroyer. Some of the clones that came from the Senate told them Obi-Wan about capturing Pademe. On the way up Obi-Wan saw the Senate blow up. Making it to the star destroyer Obi-Wan walked aboard. Finally it made it to the main HQ of the 501st. He started to make his way around the star destroyer to find Pademe.

Anakin desperatly tried to catch up to the shuttle, however the lead that the shuttle had was to great, it returned to a hanger bay on one of the traitor ships. Anakin saw that the ship was preparing to leave, he also saw none of the loyalist capital ships would be able to reach it in time. He hadn't brought along a hyper-space ring for his fighter, so there was only one way he could keep up with the capital ships. He ordered, "Fourth squadren break off and do not attempt comunication with me."

He began evasive actions, as the turbolasers and ion cannons spat death towards him, rolls, twists, turns, and jinxs in all their combinations, to make sure that not a single shot hit him.

He reached the capital ship and started weaving towards the bridge. He dodged turrets and communication arrays. He fired with his laser cannons indiscrimantly at anything in sight. He saw the bridge and started firing his lasercannons at it. He was coming closer, closer, and closer. Until it seemed like it was almost certain he would crash, he wrenched the stick, twisted away and landed on the back of the bridge.

OOC:Ala, Millennium Falcon in Star Wars. Only instead of escaping I am planning on hitching a ride.

OOC: Back to Quinlan, finally. Plus, I have the official canon name of his child now that the last Republic issue is out...

ChanPal SuRecon Center

“It would seem,” the machine announced in a melodic replica of a female voice, “that you are almost ready. On your next contraction, we will begin to push.” Khaleen gritted her teeth and desperately tried to breathe through the pain. She secretly yelled at herself for waiting so long to get to the MedLab. Apparently, providing anesthetizing drugs too close to the birth of the child has little or no impact on the pain and may have serious consequences for the baby. Because she had to wait at the last minute to get to the hospital, now she had to suffer. At that moment, she didn’t like herself very much.

“Can’t…” she gasped. “I…just…push…NOW?!”

“It would seem,” the machine replied in the same musical timber, “that you are almost ready. On your next contraction, we will begin to push.”

“Oh shut up!” she hollered. The contraction was beginning to pass. Khaleen could almost feel the next one starting up. She dropped her head back and rested for a moment. She felt Quinlan's hand grasp hers. He stood on her left and looked lovingly into her eyes. He heart softened as she saw him staring at her and she almost smiled.

With intense suddenness, another contraction began. Khaleen tightened her grip on Quinlan’s hand with such fierceness that the Jedi Master began to wonder what the impact would be on his life now that he would need to get a mechanical hand. Pain filled the air as the two lovers began their journey into parenthood. Khaleen pushed when the machine asked her to and screamed in concentration.

As the child of their dreams began to emerge, Quinlan Vos's heart swelled with pride.

As the boy that she named Korto was gently laid next to her an infant monitoring bed, it seemed, at least for one day, all of the troubles of the world seemed to vanish.

"Did all the Jedi with you get out General Swan?"

"yes they did Commander Cody..." Bultar Swan was both relived and sad. So many Jedi had died but she had helped save as many as she could. ‘what next’ she though as she looked out from her ship at the Temple…
(last post with Bultar Swan)
----------------------------------------
(a few hours later) Aayla Secura’s Actis fighter dropped out of hyperspace above Coruscant. Detaching from her hyperspace ring she headed for the surface. Hitting her comm. She began to speak. “This is Jedi Master Aayla Secura to anyone, can anyone tell me what has happened?”

...And then those troubles reappeared in the form of a small green figure standing in the doorway. Hunched over his walking staff, the tired looking form of Yoda watched as Khaleen delivered the baby.

He merely stood motionless in the doorway, leaning on his cane and waiting for Quinlan to notice his presence...

OOC: You blundered... you said Padme in your post.

Back in the main base of the Republic Cody got a message. As far as he knew he was the only clone commander on Coruscant. Looking the message it came from Aayla Secura. Cody remebered her clone commander Bly. Bly was on some mission on Bespin.

"This is Commander Cody. The Jedi Academy has been attack by a rouge clone unit. They have escaped with the chancellor. They have also destroyed the senate. Countless Jedi are dead with Senators. We request you come to the main base."

Quinlan wrapped Korto in a blanket, cradling him. His Force presence was strong. 'He shall be trained as a Jedi', Quinlan decided, 'Even if the Jedi won't take him.' Wordlessly, he handed the infant off to Khaleen, and turned to get a refreshment, when he stopped dead.

Master Yoda was standing in the doorway, leaning on his gimer cane. He looked tired, as if the energy had been taken out of him. Quinlan slowly walked to him, his face blank, but inwardly trembling.

He stopped short of the Grandmaster of the Jedi Order. He had only one question:

"What becomes of my child?"

"This is Commander Cody. The Jedi Academy has been attack by a rouge clone unit. They have escaped with the chancellor. They have also destroyed the senate. Countless Jedi are dead with Senators. We request you come to the main base."

'by the force' though Secura 'the Senate and the Temple have been hit and by rogue clones' "are there any known survivers?" asked Secura as she moved her fighter to land near the main base.

"General most of the surviving Jedi are here." Cody put on his helmet to meet with Secura.

Quinlan wrapped Korto in a blanket, cradling him. His Force presence was strong. 'He shall be trained as a Jedi', Quinlan decided, 'Even if the Jedi won't take him.' Wordlessly, he handed the infant off to Khaleen, and turned to get a refreshment, when he stopped dead.

He stopped short of the Grandmaster of the Jedi Order. He had only one question:

"What becomes of my child?"

"Trained as a Jedi, your child shall be," Yoda commented with a deep breath. "His, your own faults are not."

"However, the question, that is not," Yoda said, his voice becoming more stern. "What shall become of you, is."

"Trained as a Jedi, your child shall be," Yoda commented with a deep breath. "His, your own faults are not."

"However, the question, that is not," Yoda said, his voice becoming more stern. "What shall become of you, is."

Quinlan crossed his arms, scowling. "Those rules are outdated, and ineffective. There is no problem with a Jedi falling in love."

"Perhaps. See, we will," Yoda replied.

"Where, during the attack on the temple, were you?" he asked.

Quinlan's face reddened, and he scratched the back of his neck, embarrased.

"Errm...I was here. Unconscious."

"Were you?" Yoda replied, clearly not beliving the lie that Quinlan had just told.

"See what the recordings say, we will," he said as he started slowly moving towards the holo-recordings desk.

Quinlan blinked, and moved so Master Yoda could check the recordings.

'When he sees how Khaleen broke that datapad over my head when she was in labor', Quinlan thought, 'I'll never live it down...'

OOC: Well my mental capacity (while very small) is completely overloaded with imaging the series of events. Some people are having a baby while some don't seem int he same time frame, one is going after a spaceship that has already left to the DS. So know that I have typed it it makes sense. So now where does the CIS fit in. This was only a few days but can I say that Bespin has fallen? After tough fighting with no reinforcements (or Jedi) I would think the garrison is gone. So just give me a heads up on what is happining.

Quinlan blinked, and moved so Master Yoda could check the recordings.

'When he sees how Khaleen broke that datapad over my head when she was in labor', Quinlan thought, 'I'll never live it down...'

Yoda walked over to the recordings and clicked them on, already knowing what to expect. After a few seconds of them playing through and showing Quinlan conscious and thinking, Yoda clicked them off and slowly turned to face Quinlan with a very upset face.

"Skirted your responsibility to the Order and Republic, you have," Yoda said, his voice growing with sternness as he spoke. "But more than that, lied to me, you have!"

Coruscant

Mace Windu was glad to be feeling the air of Coruscant whip by as his gunship cruised in the lower atmosphere above the capital. Good to be back...and it wasn't extremely cold here either.

"Pilot, set me down by that undisturbed area of the Temple."
"Right, Master Windu."

The gunship sailed by, past the smoke eminating from the Senate down to one of the last spots undisturbed by the attack. As the gunship set down, Mace jumped out, signalling a quick wave to the pilot as he set out to find one who could get him up to date.

Yoda walked over to the recordings and clicked them on, already knowing what to expect. After a few seconds of them playing through and showing Quinlan conscious and thinking, Yoda clicked them off and slowly turned to face Quinlan with a very upset face.

"Skirted your responsibility to the Order and Republic, you have," Yoda said, his voice growing with sternness as he spoke. "But more than that, lied to me, you have!"

OOC: Err, DMG...he DID get knocked out by Khaleen during labor.



With speed uncommon for a woman in so much agony, Khaleen snatched a datapad nearby, and slammed it so hard into Quinlan's head it shattered. His eyes rolled to the back of his head, and he fell over. "THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR DOING THIS TO ME! THIS IS YOUR FAULT, YOU STUPID STRIPED-FACE KRIFFIN KIFFAR!", she screamed,attempting to struggle out of bed to throttle the Jedi Master, before being pushed (with great difficulty) down by several orderlies...

OOC: Err, DMG...he DID get knocked out by Khaleen during labor.

OOC: He wasn't brought their because he was unconscious. He went to the hospital during the battle and then was knocked unconscious by his lover. He is still at fault.

Ki-Adi-Mundi took his Actis-class interceptor into a following Mace Windu, on the main docking platform at Coruscant. He landed near where Windu had, and left his fighter. "R5, stay here." He then came closer to Master Windu with him. "I see you're up and about, although you never responded to my call to the bridge."

Mace slightly chuckled, almost allowing himself a smile.

"I decided I needed to get back here sooner rather than later..."

OOC: He wasn't brought their because he was unconscious. He went to the hospital during the battle and then was knocked unconscious by his lover. He is still at fault.

OOC: Damn, he caught on...;)

IC:

Quinlan replied with a straight face, "I'm sorry I couldn't be there to help in the Order's time of need, and I'm sorry that I had to lie to you. But I didn't think it was safe to tell you, and I had pressing matters to be dealt with here", he said, motioning to a sleeping Korto, "that kept me from the Temple."

"'Those rules are outdated, and ineffective. There is no problem with a Jedi falling in love,' you say," Yoda said, quoting Quinlan's earlier statement. "However, a problem, there is. Neglected your duty to the republic, to the order, to the force, and to the people of Coruscant... you have. Lost respect with me, you have..."

Mace slightly chuckled, almost allowing himself a smile.

"I decided I needed to get back here sooner rather than later..."

"I understand. We must get to the Temple and find what occurred..."

"'Those rules are outdated, and ineffective. There is no problem with a Jedi falling in love,' you say," Yoda said, quoting Quinlan's earlier statement. "However, a problem, there is. Neglected your duty to the republic, to the order, to the force, and to the people of Coruscant... you have. Lost respect with me, you have..."

At this point, Quinlan sighed, and responded, "I've been serving this Republic for as long as I was a Jedi, on and off the battlefield. I acted as one of Dooku's personal assassins, killing political enemies, for the Republic. I lost my memories, in service of the Republic. Several times, I have nearly sold my soul to the dark side, for the Republic. Just once, I put my family before the Republic, and I'm not sorry about that, Master Yoda; rather, I'm sorry it had to come to that.

"As I've said before, Master Yoda, I'm sorry I personally couldn't have been at the Temple, but I did, however, send a contignent of my best clone troopers ahead in my place. I feared the worst for Khaleen, and for Korto, my child. I didn't know what so many Jedi dying in such a close proximity could do to a child. I had to make sure they would be okay."

"I understand. We must get to the Temple and find what occurred..."

"I have to agree...though what could've damaged the Temple this badly, and how did they get past?"

At this point, Quinlan sighed, and responded, "I've been serving this Republic for as long as I was a Jedi, on and off the battlefield.

"Something the council, when deciding your fate, will take note of," Yoda said. "However, excuse your selfishness, your concern does not. For a reason, rules about this type of thing, we have. To break the rules, you decided. Face the penalties... you shall."

He turned slowly and began walking away. When he reached the door, Yoda turned his head ever so slighty and simply said, "The deaths of hundreds of Jedi... for your one." He then shook his head and walked out.

After Several small jumps, The Star Destroyer made the Final Jump to the Location of the Deathstar...

Here they would deploy the Shuttles and Report to Sidious, The Clones were now wearing their Loyalist Armour, Dark Grey with Red eye peices...

Pademe, however was Locked down in a Cell, she wasn't bound, had plenty of good food and water, but the Area was swarming with Clones and Loyalist Officers... Ensuring she would reach palpatine without any poor rescue attempts...

Sentry Drones had been set up in the Corridor, and various alarm mechanisms set up around the Prison block, as well as security cameras and scanners in and around the Cells...

"Something the council, when deciding your fate, will take note of," Yoda said. "However, excuse your selfishness, your concern does not. For a reason, rules about this type of thing, we have. To break the rules, you decided. Face the penalties... you shall."

He turned slowly and began walking away. When he reached the door, Yoda turned his head ever so slighty and simply said, "The deaths of hundreds of Jedi... for your one." He then shook his head and walked out.

Quinlan watched Yoda walk off, feeling hollow. It was surprising; when this day came, he thought he'd feel guilty, sad....but he was just...

Empty. He knew the rules against attachment, and, as such, had to be responsible. He had never known such clarity, things painted so simple.

Then he thought about the slaughter, the massacre at the Temple, and felt a pang of guilt. Part of him wishes he had been there, had went down like so many comrades. Or, at least, had been there to fight at all. But, he had arrived to late to do anything, and didn't even show his face when he arrived on Coruscant. But still, it left a nagging feeling, like he could have prevented this atrocity...just like...

"Geonosis", Quinlan said bitterly to himself. He'd never quite let go off the fact that his intelligence hadn't informed him of a foundry, there, and the meeting of the Confederacy. That, if they had been informed beforehand, so many Jedi could have been saved...

'The past', he thought to himself. 'In the past...' But the past seemed to be repeating himself, as Yoda's words haunted him..the disappointment on his face... 'The deaths of hundreds of Jedi... for your one....'

Pushing it to the back of his mind, Quinlan went to sleep, deciding to deal with it in the morning.

OOC: what should i do now. you put me in a spot where obi-wan will died.

Obi-Wan knew he would die with honor. He remebered that saying by Master Ordan-Urr. There is no death, there is the Force. The laser came ever so closer.

OOC: its up to you, how did you end up loosing your light saber and why did you give yourself up?

OOC: what should i do now. you put me in a spot where obi-wan will died.

Obi-Wan knew he would die with honor. He remebered that saying by Master Ordan-Urr. There is no death, there is the Force. The laser came ever so closer.

OOC: He dies then...

Go to the OOC thread and give your input or comments.

Anakin was frustrated at the fact that he couldn't do anything while the ships traveled through hyperspace. After what seemed like aeons to Anakin they finally seemed to reach the destination.

He gasped, because he could the skeleton of a space station that was enourmas. Obviously this world must be importent to Darth Sidious, if he was willing to spend such huch amounts of resources to build a station such a big station to protect it. The only problem is that he wouldn't be able to tell the republic what was going on without jepordizing Padme.

He sat in the cockpit for several minutes before he came up with an idea. He recorded a message on a hyperspace drone. It was the only one he had but it was a risk he had to take. He needed a way to shut down some of the sensors on this ship for a small period of time. Using the repulsor only, he slowly moved towards the closest power generator. He charged the ion cannons and readied the drone, things were going to get very exciting very quickly.

He fired the ion cannons, then the drone a split second later. Then he was off, attacking turrets, power generators, and sensors. He was looking to create as much of a rucus as possible. Once he was sure he had the ships full attention he programed the autopilot of the fighter, put on his resperator, and readied his lightsaber. There was only one way this would work and he hoped the enemy played right into his hands.

Koon managed to get back to the Jedi temple after much delay. He had felt a great disturbance in the force. A break of sorts, and the death of many Jedi. He immediately reversed towards Courascant. However, as he prepared to jump, he was hit by a small chunk of asteroid and was delayed greatly, as it damaged his long range transmissions.

When he finally reached the temple docking bay, he jumped out of his Jedi Starfighter, rushing so much that he left open the transparisteel-enclosed cockpit. He ran threw the temple at full speed, and rushing up the stairs of the main hall, found Master Yoda. He bowed low, and caught his breath, "My appologies, Master Yoda," he said, panting slightly, "I was delayed in the asteroid belt of the Hoth system. What is our current situation, and what do you advise me to do?"

"Let us get to the temple!" Mundi said to Windu "I sense Yoda there. We must consult the Council!" He began moving back to his Actis-Interceptor, expecting Mace to move back to his Transport, and began takeoff procedures.

"Attacked the senate and temple, Sidious and his clone legion have," Yoda replied as Master Koon arrived next to him. "Weakened, we are. Reorganize, we must. The wounded, go and help; the Jedi ranks, begin reorganizing."

"The council, convene."

With that he began slowly walking again through the halls of the Jedi Temple. Slowly, as his cane clicked against the floors, Yoda felt the pain and death that had so recently occurred there.

Koon rushed to where the injured were being treated, and began working as quickly as he could to help those who could recover. He awaited the call for when the council was going to convene.

"General most of the surviving Jedi are here." Cody put on his helmet to meet with Secura.

steping out of her fighter Secura faced Cody. "in that case i will check on them, then i'll be headed for the Jedi Temple."

OOC: skip anything else bettween i just want to get to the temple right now :p

Several trading ships, and a few not so legal, jumped out of hyperspace around the planet, quickly being disabled by the ion cannons and taken aboard. After a while a larger group of ships appeared at once, with two managing to get away.

"Transmission to Death Star: Long Range: Darth Sideous: We have been discovered. Several ships have gotten away with news of our pressance. We request to move out of system before reinforcments arrive. End Transmission."

As the morning peaked in at the hospital, Quinlan was gone, headed for the Temple. When he got there, he was shocked. Plumes of smoke were billowing outwards. Jedi were running everywhere. The death of Jedi was clear through any Force-sensitive.

Swallowing lightly, Quinlan went through the Temple, making his way to his room. When he got there, he started packing up his belongings in a bag, then he would download the plans confiscated by the Republic Intelligence into his personal datapad. It was moving day.

Obi-Wan started the process of gathering the dead. The temple was littered with clones. Walking around he noticed Quinlan in his room. Not many of the Jedi were here. Making his way inside Quinlan's room he noticed that packing up his belongings.

"Master Quinlan where are you going?"

Bespin:

Grievious' shuttle landed on the open landscape of Bespin's landing docks. His Magna Guards followed in clean crisp rows, there they activated their weapons and deflected a few shots coming from the main hub on all of Bespin. The main push had come, one of Bespin's better features was the lack of space that needed to be subjugated. Now Cloud City was ripe for the taking and he had appeared personally to make sure that this would be a victory. He advanced over the narrow span seperating his small single-landing space docking zone. The few clones had this far managed to get a perimeter for the center crossroads.

Grievious marched towards the clones, ingniting his lightsabers as he advanced as he took point for the arrowhead of Magna Guards as he blocked the shots spraying out from their carbines. He neatly sliced through one at the waist twirled and using his third arm he grabbed one of the carbines with his fourth arm brought the rifle up and steadied the weapon's sigh. As that happened his second arm (with a lightsaber) smashed the back end into the face mask of the commanding clone, breaking his neck, and then used the saber end to decapitate another. The carbine now was fully up as he "wasted" 4 more clones. By then the perimeter had been broached by the Magna Gurads and oher CIS forces.

The day continued much like that, Grievious and his bodyguards were nearly unbeatable in the close confines of Cloud City, neatly slicing and dicing the opposition as it crumbled alongside the populance;s hope for salvation.

Bly had thought the battle was over. Now half of the City was under CIS control. From the reports he had gotten General Greivous had come to the planet. A couple of days ago he had killed the general of the CIS army. Now they were retreating. He order all armour to the front also Bly sent a message needing help from a Jedi and more men. Deviss had taken over the lower parts and was with him now on the top. So far General Greivous had stopped his advance for now. Bly gave the command to the Star Destroyers to destroy any ship that got close to Cloud City that isn't Republic. Soon he would make a counter attack.

Those I guess should come after these.....

The CIS Strike Cruisers appeared out of hyperspace, within the span of a few seconds CIS Strike Bombers, Tri-Fighters, and Vulture Droids spilled out of the ships streaking towards the Republic's sole SD in that sector. The Vulture droids formed a core unit as the CIS Strike Bombers spread out with Tri-Fighters providing static attack/defense. The CIS Strike Cruiser fired a few bombardments out.....

After meditating for countless hours in the seclusion of his private chambers, Yoda slowly picked up his cane and began making his way to the council chambers.

A short time later, hunced over his cane, Yoda entered the council chambers and made his way to his special seat. Sitting down on it, he began telepathically sending a message to the other council members calling them to meeting.

Obi-Wan started the process of gathering the dead. The temple was littered with clones. Walking around he noticed Quinlan in his room. Not many of the Jedi were here. Making his way inside Quinlan's room he noticed that packing up his belongings.

"Master Quinlan where are you going?"


Turning around quickly, Quinlan smiled, genuinely relieved that his childhood friend had survived. "Obi-Wan, it's good to see you. I'm leaving because, well, it's probably just best to distance myself from the Temple. I had a falling out with Yoda. The Council is sure to follow, and I don't want to be where I'm not wanted."

Upon noticing Obi-Wan's questioning look, Quinlan said, "Trust me...if you're at the next meeting, you'll probably hear about the circumstances." He glanced at his computer. His files weren't done downloading. They probably wouldn't be for a file.

As Ki-Adi-Mundi landed his Actis-interceptor into the Hangar, he left off and heard Yoda's call. He immediately went over to the lift, and went up to the spire where the Council met.

Secura heard Yoda's call through the force and headed for the Council chamber

OOC: something of a crap post, but it does its job

Turining toward Quinlan he wondered what he had done.

"You should know that you will always have a friend in the Jedi Council. I hope that I will see you again one day."

Obi-Wan then sensed the message coming from Yoda. He made his way over and sat in his chair to wait for the other Jedi.


Bly had just gotten word from a Star Destroyer being attacked. He ordered the three others to help and put the shields on. In the sky the SD being attacked relased and the ARC-170 starfighter poured out to attack.

the ARC-170 starfighter poured out to attack.

OOC: Poured out, does it seem to anyone else that poured out means a fragmented stream of fighters (Think of Rebel Starfighters going to attack the DS).

As the ARC-170s "poured" out to meet the dense swarm of droid fighters. The Tri-Fighters flew static defense and used their small, fast shapes to overwhelm the clone starfighters while the dense field fully overwhlemed their defenses and destroyed them (well at least tried to).

The other three star destroyers came and attacked the Strike Cruisers. While doing this the ARC-170's came out of the three star destroyers. Back on the ground Bly sent out a message to the Jedi Academy telling them his army needed help.

OOC: How many Strike Cruisers do you have?

Feeling the call in the force, Master Koon rushed from helping the injured to the council chambers. As he entered the room, he found some of the council already assembled. He sat in his seat awaiting to hear what had happen as he was stuck.

Yoda shook his head gently as he was still feeling the echoes of those that had died in the tragic attack on the temple and senate. "Most grave..." he said quietly to himself. "Powerful the Dark Side has become...."

The Vessel simply Increased its power to the Sheilds, Trapping Anakin within the Defensive Bubble, The Drone and Himself would not Leave the System, Now that Anakin was trapped in the Confines of the Shield...

From the outside other Vessels began to approach, creating a formation that would ensure anakin would soon see things in a different light...

Sidious sent Anakin a message to his Fighter Craft...

"Anakin... my boy.... I am pleased to see your still as resourcefull as ever... But please... now is not the time for heroism... We have someone you know... very well... Let us talk Anakin... "

The other three star destroyers came and attacked the Strike Cruisers. While doing this the ARC-170's came out of the three star destroyers. Back on the ground Bly sent out a message to the Jedi Academy telling them his army needed help.

OOC: How many Strike Cruisers do you have?

That is for me to know and you to find out. Also where are the SDs compared to my SC? Are they in a half-circle (efficient move) with me in the center, in a line, or straight line?

IC: As the 3 other SDs came to engage the SC the dense ball of droid fighters scattered the stream of ARC-170s while destroying a few as they continued on towards the SD. The SC on the other hand started to turn horizontal as it backed off away from the planet.

The SC was trying to escape so the four SD turned and chased after the SC. They turned on the tractor beams and aimmed them at the SC. Aboard one of the SD was Lieutenant Gilad Pellaeon. The Captain of the ship ordered him to send Commander Bly that they needed more ARC-170s.

"Commander Bly this is Lt. Gilad Pellaeon of the Intrepid. My Captain told me that we need to have more ARC-170s in the air. Right now we are chasing a SC."

Bly wondered who this non clone was.

"Lt. Pellaeon the ARC-170's are on their way. I wish the best of luck to your men."

Five hunderd ARC-170s were taking off to join the already 1,000 in the air from the SD.

As the SD tractored the SC towards them something happened which had never happened before. The droids stopped fighting, the gun ports closed, the engines stopped, and the lights dimmed. The SC stopped fighting....

The dense cloud of starfighters had now reached top speed while some rammed into ARC-170s. The other Republic Starfighters had (hopefully) turned around and begun tracking them.

The Five hundred ARC-170's had joined the remaining ARC-170's. Now they were attacking the CIS starfighters. Lt. Pellaeon in the Intrepid, the main SD of the army on Bespin, saw the SC stop. Turning toward the Captain.

"What should we do?"

The Captain turned toward Lt. Pellaeon.

"Get the troops ready."

Lt. Pellaeon gave the order.

"All clone to station get ready to board."

The SD started to move toward the SC. Another SD was moving in the same position while the other two SD protected them. In total 4,080 troops were boarding. Once they got in position they ran into the SC. They came in with guns a blazing.

Bly had gotten the report from Lt.Pellaeon. Bly was going to tell the Captain to promote Pellaeon to Lieutenant Commander if he survived. Also he had gotten another 5,000 men ready to board the SC if there was a large army inside.

The Five hundred ARC-170's had joined the remaining ARC-170's. Now they were attacking the CIS starfighters. Lt. Pellaeon in the Protector, the main SD of the army on Bespin, saw the SC stop. Turning toward the Admiral.

"What should we do?"

The Admiral turned toward Lt. Pellaeon.

"Get the troops ready."

Lt. Pellaeon gave the order.

"All clone to station get ready to board."

The SD started to move toward the SC. Another SD was moving in the same position while the other two SD protected them. In total 4,080 troops were boarding. Once they got in position they ran into the SC. They came in with guns a blazing.

OOC: an Admiral for a fleet of four SDs? i don't think so. and Secura's flag ship is the Intrepid not the Protector...

OOC: Maybe not. An Admiral for a larger fleet, many many Star Destroyers, he just needs to approve the promotion.

The SC wacted no differently and just drifted closer and closer (tractor beams still on) as the Republic SD fell into battle positions and prepared for the launch.

The droid fighters continued on past the first two SD and sped on towards the last two as they continued to dodge, or sometimes just rammed into, the ARC-170s "pouring" out of the back two SDs.

Clone moved in and a senior clone commander moved aboard the ships. When walking in the clone commander told them to get to the bridge and reactor. The men fanned out.

Back on the Intrepid Lt.Pellaeon watched as the clones went inside. While doing this the captian said to make all the power go to the shields and tractor beam. Also Lt.Pellaeon gave the command to make the SC stay in place and not move anymore.

Mace walked into the Council Chambers, before the other Jedi Masters. He quickly apologized for being late before taking his seat.

"Of concern, such things are not," Yoda responded to Mace's entrance and apology. "Discuss recent events, we must. Most terrible events..."

"What has transpired since my absence?" Mace initially asked.

Obi-Wan looked a Mace Windu. He must of know. Back on the planet he was on with Cody Obi-Wan could fell the Jedi dying and there screams.

"Attacked the Temple and Senate, the Sith have... killed many Senators and Jedi, they did," Yoda explained, though it was obvious what had occured.

"Chased after the rogue clone toopers, Master Skywalker has. Without support, he is," Yoda said, introducing the second topic.

He paused briefly as he came to a very serious topic within the Order. "Master Vos... forgotten the Jedi Code, he has. Left the Jedi and Senators to die during the invasion, he did; to his female companion, he went."

Mace contemplated a second before speaking again.

"Has master Vos been informed that he has defied the code, and will be considered accordingly?"

"Informed, he has been. Remorse, he did not show..." Yoda said, seemingly pausing for a split second after each word in emphasis.

As the droid fighters (now 196) finally reached the last two SDs the clone anti-fighter weapons opened up as the shields were boosted. This part the droids were supposed to shoot and bank, but as they neared the two SDs the on-board commander finally realized the droids felt no self-preservation. The droid fighters now having a sizeable amount of kinetic energy rammed into the shields. As the shields faltered and died the droids continued to happily ram into the ship. As the first half of the droids finished ramming into the SD the others continued on for the second one.....

OOC: I am going to take a break here, there is about 70 droid fighters left with one of your SDs bleeding bad. Meaning it is going to die if we consider that it isn't already totally destroyed. I could reduce the amount of fighters left and there is a lot to talk about in the OOC. That is why I am stopping here for that battle.

The bowels of the SC turned into hissy static as the concealed compartments of over 1 million battle droids opened up. They advanced over their own dead and clone dead. The firing ports opened up (as the firing ports were closed and you never mentioned scanning the ship, I think.) and the cannons were brought to bear with exact accuracy (the gunners plotted the points when they closed in) blew apart the gunneries of the other ships. They didn't damge the super-structure as they only targeted the gunners.

OOC: All of your fighters are "pouring" or poured after my droid fighters, right?

OOC: heh i would like to see that many fighter take out a Venators shields...the Venator class SD has very heavy sheilds it would take alot more then Vultures and Tri-Fighters crashing into it to take them out. try a good few minute bombardment from anti capital ship guns. and at this rate you probably have quite a few less fighters then 70. also even with the sheilds down the armor would protect it from the majority of the ship impacts. the ship would still be a powerfull threat.


by comparison it took the full force of a fleet about this size several minutes to take down the Exacutors shields

25 Mon Calamari Star Cruisers
1 Dreadnaught-class cruiser
1 Assault Frigate
1 Bulk Cruiser
1 Quasar Fire-class Bulk Cruiser
10 Nebulon-B escort frigates
100 CR90 Corellian Corvettes
1 kamikaze Corvette
1 Assassin-class corvette
6 DP-20 Corellian Gunships
1 Action VI transport
100 GR-75 medium transports
1 Alderaanian Gunship
500+ Rebel starfighters

while when three Star Destroyers crashed into it while they where exiting hyperspace the Exacuter barly felt a thing.

not sure what your saying here...

OOC: I have TG Kraven and he agreed that the drone got away.

Anakin didn't know what to do. He had come here to save Padme, and if he kept on evading the traitor clones Palpatine might kill her. However if he delt with him, maybe he could get safe passage for Padme and him. He needed to get Padme to Curascant as soon as possible, the baby was due to deliver at any time. He wished that there was someone who could help him. He made his decision. He hoped that it was the right one.

He sent out a message on all frequencies, "Palpatine, if you want me so bad, come and get me."

He prayed that he made the right decision.

The clones retreat back into the SD. The SD got away from the SC and opened fire on it. About most of the clones were dead. The remaining 800 ARC-170's went after the 70 droids fighter. The droids fighters were going to get massacred. The Four SDs moved away and opened fire with 8 DBY-827 heavy dual turbolaser turrets, 2 Medium dual turbolaser cannons, 52 Point-defense laser cannons, 4 Heavy proton torpedo tube, and 16 torpedo magazine each. The tractor beams still held the SC in place. Lt. Pellaeon looked aboard the bridge as he gave the command. Then the weapons opened fire.

Quinlan, after waiting for his database to be downloaded onto his datapad, became annoyed. He wanted to get out of the Temple as soon as possible, as to delay seeing the Council, as well as check on young Korto, as Khaleen had recently moved out of the hospital, back her Jade Distract quarters.

Sighing, he sat down on his cot, and mediated.

Cin's flagship came out of hyperspace. He rushed to the view screen. He knew that they were too late. He left the stunned clones in orbit and landed at the Jedi temple(or what was left of it). He had to find Master Yoda, he could sense he was still alive. How could Yoda not be alive, he was the one who had trained Cin in combat. He must find Master Yoda.

OOC: As in a previous post and in mine our ships are about deck hull to deck hull, my uno SC is battling with your two SD as the other two are behind it with maybe one of those supporting SDs dead. So how can suddenly all four be in firing range and targeting my SC?


snippet Left for the OOC Thread :D As for the million battle droids coming out of hiding, that is exactly what I mean, there is that many on the ship from DMG's wookiepedia link... The kinetic energy would give the droids substantial impact, enough for one SD to be dead in space. But as I said, anymore discussion is for the OOC Thread.

The SC, having powered it's engines down for so long took a bit for them to warm up again. The weapons on board continued to hammer away at already pin-pointed locations. The lights came back on as the few surviving droid fighters peeled away towards the planet.

though she didn't show it Secura was angery. Master Vos had lied to her and had broken the code. she would make a mental note to speak to him after the meeting

The one damaged SD shields were starting to go down. Lt. Pellaeon looked aboard at the SD were moving away while shooting at the SC. He hoped soon that the SC was going to flee.

Somewhere in the space near Courascant a small gray drone comes out of hyperspace. It uses its momentum to coast toward the planet until it reaches optimum communication distance. It then proceeds to play send the following message to the Jedi Temple. It has a data seal on it to make sure it reaches Yoda where ever he is. The message plays like this.

A hologram of Anakin's face appears, he looks calm but says his message in urgency. "Master Yoda, I have managed to follow the 501st through hyperspace. I have found a space station being built here. It is enourmas, the Dark Lord must have something very important here to build such a formidable defence. I request that all available Fleets come to the following co-ordinates, destroy the station and find out what is on the planet. I will try to save the chancellor and escape back to Courascant. May the Force be with us all.

After Anakin's face disappears a set of hyperspace co-ordinates begins to repeat itself in the hologram

EDIT: Made a slight change in the language at the end of the message.

The one damaged SD shields were starting to go down. Lt. Pellaeon looked aboard at the SD were moving away while shooting at the SC. He hoped soon that the SC was going to flee.

The SC continued to bank away, as the front two SDs backed off the SC fired a full blast at the faltering ship's shields. As the shields went down some of the bombardement reached the ship. By now (hopefully) the other SDs were opening up the whole salvoe of their guns.

The few froid fighters left were being picked off but as they reached Bespin's atmosphere they banked for Seperatist space and went down to land. (That is their inteneded idea, we stil RP it).

As Yoda sat in the council chambers, listening to the debates and discussions of the other Jedi council members, there was a soft beeping at his side. He touched the panel on the side of his chair and a small hologram appeared of Anakin Skywalker.

"Master Yoda, I have managed to follow the 501st through hyperspace. I have found a space station being built here. It is enourmas, the Dark Lord must have something very important here to build such a formidable defence. I request that all available Fleets come to the following co-ordinates, destroy the station and find out what is on the planet. I will try to save the chancellor and escape back to Courascant. May the Force be with you."

"Recieved word from Master Skywalker, we have. A most terrible discovery, he has made..."

"From where does it stem, Master Yoda?" Mace piped in, "Does it originate from the Seperatists?"

"Yes, what is it?" said Ki-Adi-Mundi, "What affects you so?"

"From where does it stem, Master Yoda?" Mace piped in, "Does it originate from the Seperatists?"

After the hologram finished, Yoda turned to Mace, "From Anakin, it comes - grave danger, he is in."

Aurra Sing couldn't believe her eyes. She had heard the rumors, but hardly thought they were true... And yet, right there before here eyes was a massive sphere of untold power; seemingly complete to her very basic knowledge of it.

Transmission
Aurra Sing is my name and Jedi bounty hunting is my job and hobby. I wish for an audience with the leader here...

OOC: Thanks for the idea, Amazonian!

IC: Quinlan had roused himself from meditation, and emerged from his room to practice lightsaber combat. After the debacle at Caramm V, he decided depending purely on Ataru wasn't a sound idea. When Dooku once told him that he understood "every weakness of the Ataru form, with its ridiculous acrobatics", Quinlan was starting to think he was right.

So, he was in the training, putting what he learned to practice; combining the elegance powerful, and extreme precision of Makashi, in conjunction with the power, speed, and grace of Ataru. Quinlan practiced for hours with training drones, in an excellent display of swordsmanship, until he noticed a group of Jedi staring at him rather snobbishly, chuckling under their breath. He attempted ignore their childish behavior, until a bolt caught him in the back, stinging.

Enough was enough. "End Lightsaber Regiment: Quinlan Vos." The training drones floated down softly, and Quinlan turned towards the group, who immediately backed down, throughly cowed. "Can you guys keep it down please? I'm trying to practice", he said politely.

Satisfied, Quinlan began to turn, when a snide voice said, "Like you'll needit, Vos." Spinning around, Quinlan found himself face-to-face with Qu Rahn, a human Jedi Master. "We've all heard what you did- how you left us to DIE so you could be with that trollop, and that little piece of filth you call a son."

Quinlan was shocked. He'd gotten along well with Rahn as any other Jedi, his outburst was uncalled for. Barely keeping his anger in check, Quinlan gritted his teeth as he retorted, "Maybe, just maybe, Rahn, if you had family, if you knew what love was...if you heard ALL the circumstances behind my decision, you could pass judgement on me. Until then, hold your tongue."

As Quinlan stormed pass, he felt a sharp pain on the back of his head. Quickly turning around, he saw the source- Qu Rahn had it him with the hilt of his saber. He was practically seething with rage...anger...hatred...perhaps a hint of betrayal?

"It's time you learned some manners, you ungrateful traitor", the Jedi Master said in a low voice. "Pick up your blade. We fight...until first blood." This, by and far, was the most dangerous type of duel, next to a fight with a Dark Jedi. He ignited a blue blade.

Wordlessly, Quinlan ignited his emerald lightsaber, and circled the human Jedi Master.

The SC continued to bank away, as the front two SDs backed off the SC fired a full blast at the faltering ship's shields. As the shields went down some of the bombardement reached the ship. By now (hopefully) the other SDs were opening up the whole salvoe of their guns.

The few froid fighters left were being picked off but as they reached Bespin's atmosphere they banked for Seperatist space and went down to land. (That is their inteneded idea, we stil RP it).


Lt. Pellaeon saw one fo the SD's shields go down.

"Captain shall we tell them to leave while we still attack the SC?"

The captain gave him a nod. Lt. Pellaeon sent a message to the SD and it started to peel off from the others. The other two SD were now shooting every weapon at the SC. They knew that the SC couldn't take that much more damage.

Ki-Adi-Mundi pushed on the Grand Master:

"What is it, Master Yoda? In what danger is Skywaler?"

Qu Rahn held his saber in an en garde position and prepared herself. Without warning, Quinlan charged. He leapt up and his weapon barely missed his feet. When he landed, he defended herself against a quick cut, and the battle was joined. Blue flashed against green, Quinlan and Qu Rahn whirling in a circle. The blades flashed and clashed, sputtering with each hit. The Jedi watched, seeing firsthand what a Jedi Master may do. The weapons continued to slice through the air, not a blow landing. Suddenly, Quinlan dropped to the floor, his leg sweeping Rahn onto the floor. He came back up and held his weapon at her throat.

Qu Rahn trembled and closed his eyes, waiting for the end. He felt something hot graze his face, then a liquid dribble across his face. He opened his eyes. Quinlan looked stonily at him, before saying, "First blood to me. Goodbye, Master Rahn."

With that, he turned and walked away, to go to the Council Chambers...

"Outside, wait Master Vos," Yoda said as he sensed him coming to the council chambers. "Ready for you, we are not."

With that he turned back to the rest of the Council and said, "Tracked the traitors, Master Skywalker has. Great danger he has found there... great danger he is in... of falling to the Dark Side...."

"What is it there, Master Yoda?"

OOC: Could you please get to the bloody point!?!? I know Jedi are very cryptic, but it's really getting on my nerves!

Now I know how Atton Rand feels when you do all of those cryptic options in conversations that drive him hilariously insane...

As the SC continued to drift away as it's engines warmed up, it fired off it's batteries at the faltering SD. They continued to fire away at the SD as they were hammered.

The droid star fighters continued on towards CIS controlled airspace and finally reached the bubble of the anti-star fighter weapons. The last fighters broke off to stop the hoard of ARC-170s advancing towards the last small team of fighters.

"What is it there, Master Yoda?"

OOC: Could you please get to the bloody point!?!? I know Jedi are very cryptic, but it's really getting on my nerves!

Now I know how Atton Rand feels when you do all of those cryptic options in conversations that drive him hilariously insane...

"A massive space station it is..." Yoda replied.

OOC: He doesn't know...

"Seeing the danger Skywalker is in, something must be done to get him out...with as little danger to the rescuers as possible. The Chancellor is still out of Republic control as well, surely if not Anakin than she must be had," proposed Mace.

The remaining ARC-170s stopped chasing the droid star fighters and were returning toward the SD. The three SD were moving to block the SC from damaging the other SD. The damaged SD reverted all power to engines and shields. The three undamaged SD were moving, but shooting their weapons at the engines of the SC.



Obi-Wan was worried about his former student.

"I will lead my unit with Cody to save Anakin, but where is this space station?"

Honoghr

The CIS forces were smoldering on the ground as acid rain from the polluted air, due to the Seperatist crashed vessel, dumped on the field of combat. Remaining Republic forces were mopping up stragglers as most of the forces returned to landed Acclamators from the planet-wide invasion. Bly looked over the battle site once again. Another job done...and back to Coruscant and HQ it would be, for another Rim invasion to come.

"I can bring the Hoth and assist Obi-Wan, and order some more of my ships to come and support, being that large! ((OOC: Assuming we all at least some idea of the size, if not, I'll deat that)). Obi-Wan, I'd also advise bringing as much of your fleet as possible. Anywhere where they'd be holding the Chancellor AND a Jedi Master would have to be very well defended. This would explain why the Separatists have been quite null since the attack on Coruscant, they've been focusing their forces."

Obi-Wan was worried about his former student.

"I will lead my unit with Cody to save Anakin, but where is this space station?"

"Not enough, will it be," Yoda said. "If taken the Chancellor there they have, highly defended it will be..."

OOC: I can't give you the coordinates... I don't know them. Just assume you saw them in the holo.

As Quinlan stood near the door of the Council Chambers, he heard the discussion on this space station.

'Hm...', Quinlan thought, 'There was mention of such a battle station in Palpatine's records. When completed it could puncture a planet's surface and rupture the core. Project: Hammertong, it was called, near a planet called...Abbadon? Yes, Abaddon...it's a shame a lot of crucial information about Hammertong was lost during the siege, but I better go in and tell the Council what I know...'

Quinlan entered the Chambers and bowed, before going into an elaboration quickly. "Masters, I know I am supposed to wait, but what I have to say cannot wait..."

He launched into an elaboration...

As Quinlan finished, Mundi said "Force. We must do something before this station becomes fully operational."

"This already, we know," Yoda said, "Outside wait for your hearing."

Quinlan looked quizzically at Yoda.

"Master Yoda, while I didn't inform the Council as a whole, as everyone couldn't be present....I did inform you, when Clone Intelligence deciphered Palpatine's records, from the ancient Sith language", Quinlan said with absolute honesty.

OOC: Yoda was told.

OOC: Well, if he in fact told Yoda, then disregard his last comment... you aren't going to call YODA on something because of my bad memory. However, if you merely sent some of the information to his 'computer' and did not specifically inform him of what you had learned (considering you were the one who took it on as their task)... that is a different matter.

OOC: Yeah, he actually told Yoda, face-to-face, but let's just say it's been a tough couple of weeks and, well, Yoda's not perfect...

OOC: Sorry, but I would rather not have Yoda be called on something that he would never forget to mention because of my memory. And could you please direct me to the post so I can remember what he said.

OOC:

Here's ya go!

OOC: Alright - edited earlier post.

Quinlan bowed to the Council, and went to wait by the door for his hearing to begin.

once Quinlan exited Aayla spoke "I believe that this station is the location of the Darth Sidious and we know that it is the current location of the Chancellor and Master Skywalker. Add this along with its powerful weapon. It is without a doubt the most important target. It is my belief that at least half council members go. including both you(Yoda) and Master Windu. Master Kenobi has already expressed his wish to go. Master Mundi has also offered his fleet and I assume himself for the mission. I will volunteer as the fifth.”

OOC: felt like Secura had to say something :P everyone is ok with this post?

Mace agreed with Secura. "I shall accompany or forces on the mission. My clone commander is returning from the Honoghr campaign as we speak, and should also be back in time to lend support."

snippet
OOC: Okay there is about three SDs pretty close together bocking of th fourth SD whie is going as fast as it can away from Bespin. Right? Also is the CIS occupied space closr to this battle or Republic, CIS is what I am thinkng but I want to hear your idea if not.

IC:
As the last doid-fighters touched the ground a heavily modified CIS Strike bomber opened up to show it's pilot. As the other pilots left their craft a few lifted in the air again to battle the clones. As droids from the buildings "poured" out to form a square. A smaller square was made to go in this one, General Grievious looked out from the center at his Magna Guards and smiled.

"Come and get me,"

he whispered.


The SC continued to fire at the SD and continued to move away, (do your SD move with?) and as the shields fell the Nemodians felt no fear....

"Resecure the Republic we must," Yoda said strongly. "Stay behind to restore and rebuild... I will."

SD followed the SC slighted behind. The SD was still firing their weapons. The shields were down. Lt.Pellaeon knew this SC was gone.

"Report to all SD do not move close to the SC. It might blow up and damage your ships."

The captain walked up to Pellaeon.

"Lt. this is from Commander Bly."

Pellaeon looked at the orders. He had gotten the promotion of Lt. Commander. Commander Bly must of liked what he had been doing. The captian looked toward Lt. Commander Pellaeon.

"Lt. Commander get ready to blow up the SC."

The squadren of ARC-71's chased him through chased him around the ship. What Anakin needed was to isloate one of them, for his plan to work. He whipped between two gun towers and one of the 4 fighters exploded, as it was caught in the cross-fire. Anakin saw a chance to take out the other 2 fighters when passing between the two bridges. He twisted the fighter into a corkscrew and dove between the engines. It wasn't a turn that many fighter cold do. The clones decided to due a regular looping bank. Anakin quickly used his thrusters to hide himself in an crook between the engines and the armour. He quickly charged up the ion cannons and waited.

He didn't have to wait long, the three ARC-71's had slowed down. Not wanting to be suprised. Well, they were going to get one. He fired both his ion cannons and took out the two flanking ARC-71's. Then Anakin fired up the engines and sped past the remaining fighter giving it a glancing shot from an ion cannon. He quickly flipped his craft over and flew as close to the bottom of the Star Destroyer as he dared. He starpped on the resperator. He switched his lightsaber to his left arm and then pushed the eject button.

Anakin was now in space and using his momentum and the force to guide him towards the on rushing ARC-71. His lightsaber held staight in front of him. He impacts the cockpit and slides back, his right arm scrambling to find a purchase. He finds it. He wrenches his arm out of his socket as he grabs onto the newly made cut in the cockpit. His arm is buring in agony but he has to concentrate. Using his lightsaber he cuts open a hole big enough so he can pull out the pilot. He flings him out into space. He then squirms into the tight hole. Pain stabbed his arm as he manuvered it down the hole. He sat there and assed his situation. His fighter had been put on autopilot and was now doing evasive manuvers. The co-pilot/gunner clone was dead, the lightsaber had cut his head in half, and the tail gunner was probably wondering what the hell he was going on. Using his left hand he typed out a message, in clone battle writ, saying that the fighter had lost containment and been damaged by the Jedi's fighter. He continued typing saying that he was going to take them back to the hanger. He pulled the damaged fighter towards the hanger and began to pass through the security field. Finally after what seemed a lifetime he landed the craft.

"I agree, Master Yoda, you are by far the most recognized of us among the galaxy, and it would be far better to have you here as the Jedi Grand Master that is taking over the power. A wise Jedi Master such as yourselfwill be comforting to the Republic and at least hold most of it together until we can wipe out the last remnants of the droid armies. I actually see the destruction of the Senate as a thing of both defeat and victory. If you remember during the Old Sith Wars, there was once when a Sith Lord, I believe it was Ulic Qel-Droma, who captured the Senate and purged it entirely. When the Jedi became leaders of the Republic for a temporary period at that time, the Republic did not recoil in horror, it returned to Yavin 4 for revenge against the Sith. Let us hope such will happen now.

We need to contact all members of the Senate not at the Senate or not on Coruscant at the time of the Massacre, bring them to Coruscant, and have them vote to Master Yoda temporary executive power to deal with this crisis."

Yoda nodded his head, signalling that the discussion on that specific topic was pretty much done - having solved what to do next; a major taskforce being sent against the Separtists and Sidious as Yoda tried to repair the fragments of the shaken Republic.

"Now..." he said, moving onto the next issue, "About Master Vos, we must discuss."

"He has defied the code, the Order," mused Mace.

Sighing, Quinlan walked back into the Council Chambers.

"Masters, what do you want me to say, exactly? Do you want me to explain myself, why I chose to willingly defy the Code?"

"Indeed, we do," Yoda spoke as Quinlan entered. "Have your time to explain yourself you do now... after, judged, you shall be."

Quinlan nodded at Yoda.

"Right. Where to begin...."

"Let's start at why I defied the Code. I defied it...because I fell in love. I couldn't stand by Jedi scruples, ancient codes, forbidding a romantic relationships. I believe that love should be handled in a case-by-case basis. But, that is here nor there. Do I feel guilt at all for falling in love, directly disobeying the Code? No. Had I not fallen in love, I would have been a slave to the Dark Side, a pawn of Dooku and Sidious. For so deep was I in the shadows...I would have never seen the light."


"Some of you may have wondered...why was I not at the Temple? Why did I not make haste towards the Temple, as soon as I felt my brethren's screams echo in the Force? Your answer: I did. I did speed towards the Temple, soon after Republic forces achieved victory at Caramm V... and I had a near death encounter with a Mandalorian, calling himself Gambulk, and the fallen Jedi, Aurra Sing.

"As we neared Coruscant, we arrived overhead near the end of the battle. It seemed the damage had been done, but I was determined to be there. However, my attention was diverted, when I recieved a message from my fiancee, Khaleen. She had gone into labor soon after the Temple came into siege. I plaanned to check on them, and go to the battle...but other... things stopped me."

"As soon as I heard this, I panicked. My child...my child, was in danger. So many deaths of so many Force-sensitives...it could kill him. It did not occur to me the battle was nearing it's end, my concern for the boy eclipsed it. So that's why I chose my child, over trying to go to the Temple. As Yoda succinctly stated, that is why I 'allowed' hundreds to die for my one, even though, by going with that logic, nearly every single one of us falls under that criteria.

"Yes, I said my one. That, most likely signifies attachment. But am I to believe that I must love my child, my flesh and blood, from a distance? I should not, at the very least, make sure he is safe, in the most vulnerable time in his life...when he is not even born? I am his father. I will always care for my child, Code or not."

"Such possession of a child, or the love in a wife, will lead you down the dark path," remarked Windu. "To this, you are blinded by your passion."

Quinlan responded, "Master Windu, my wife and child stand as a reason to stay on the path of the light. My wife saved me from the dark. My child saves me from going to the Dark Side once more. They show me how much I stand to lose by giving into the Dark Side."

"Have they?" Yoda said simply. "Truly, have they?"

"The path of the Dark Side is one in which you let your emotions control you..."

"Have they?" Yoda said simply. "Truly, have they?"

"The path of the Dark Side is one in which you let your emotions control you..."

Quinlan responded, "Master Yoda, my wife and child truly have shown me how much I stand to lose. I live now, knowing that I must safeguard the Republic as well as them. They bring me stability, calm, and happiness. Surely these emotions are not of the Dark?

"Selfishness, greed, and to forget your loyalty... they have also taught you," Yoda replied.

"Selfishness, greed, and to forget your loyalty... they have also taught you," Yoda replied.

Quinlan responded calmly, "Master Yoda, those are my sins, and my sins to bear solely on my own. I am not a saint, nor was I ever. I was not 'corrupted'. My sin were not passed onto me. My faults are my own. Not my wife's. Not my newborn child's. Mine."

Quinlan responded calmly, "Master Yoda, those are my sins, and my sins to bear solely on my own. I am not a saint, nor was I ever. I was not 'corrupted'. My sin were not passed onto me. My faults are my own. Not my wife's. Not my newborn child's. Mine."

"And that is why, alone you stand before the council...receiving our judgment," Yoda said, letting the words sink in. "Go... confer on the matter the council will."

"Yes...Master Yoda", Quinlan said, bowing, and exiting the room to go mediate.

After Quinlan had left, Yoda took a deep breath/sigh and turned to the rest of the Council. "On this issue, comments are welcome - otherwise, vote on his final judgment, we will..."

"There is no question that the Code was broken." said Ki-Adi-Mundi, seriously "but...Master Vos has seen the darkness and has come out in the light. Such cannot be ignored. He has been within inches of the Dark Side, deep in the shadow, but he returned.

"Quinlan should be let back in. He has done many great deeds for the Jedi." Obi-Wan stated as he sat in his chair.

"Once you have experianced the Dark Side, it can consume you." stated Windu. "We will have to keep a close eye on him if we were to admit him back."

"I will be willing to watch over Quinlan if he is accepted back into the Jedi." stated Obi-Wan.

Secura nodded in agreement with Windu.

"i to will watch over Master Vos when i can." added Secura

"Quinlan is a powerful Jedi Knight. We should discipline him, but ejecting him from the Order may even cause a turn to the Dark Side, creating an even larger problem. I support putting him under Obi-Wan's supervision as he has proposed.

"Right you are, Master Kenobi. Ejection may be a deterrant and a road to the Dark Side. I will put my faith in the plan to have Masters Secura and Kenobi watch and guide Quinlan."

Clearly not happy with the council's main sentiment, Yoda replied, "With the fleet against the Separtists, Master Vos will go..."

"Yes Master Quinlan will be under my supervision at all times. Also Cody and his forces will come. How about you Secura where is Bly?" Obi-Wan stated.

"Once Commander Neyo returns from Honoghr, he will still be under my command, and will be avaliable to task out," mentioned Mace.

With the main two issues settled, Yoda decided to end the meeting, "Unless any other issues to raise, you have, closed this session of the Council is."

answering Obi-Wan's question Secura said. "I left him in command of my forces on Bespin, if he has retaken Bespin i will send for him to meet us, if not he will remain on Bespin until he has finished, either way i am comming with you and Master Vos."

"Master Yoda, if it pleases the Council, I would like to volunteer myself and my forces to join the battle against the Separtists and their space station," Luminara Unduli said as she spoke up for the first time during the meeting.

"I, too, would like to go," Shaak Ti commented, barely letting Luminara Unduli finish.

Yoda nodded his head slightly as he remained silent in thought. Then another nod of the head showed his agreement and the two Jedi Masters sat down satisfied.

"I suppose we should get our fleets ready. With what we've received, we should have Jedi with more technical expertise study the plans, but unfortunately, our specialist would be Master Skywalker...we need to plan the attack. There is probably a massive CIS force there. I will notify the Hoth to signal all of the Galactic Marines possible along with as many of my ships as possible. We will be ready for the assault.

"I shall send a message calling Commander Bly back from Bespin along with the Intrepid. as many ships as i can bring, aside from the ones i will leave at Bespin or on other assaults will be brought with us

OOC: Moorington(sp?) if you wish to continue the Bespin battle i will take control of Commander Deviss (who i am leaving in command there)

Palpatine sat behind his desk, and laughed, a sick coarse laugh that would have broke the moral of anyone sat near by...

"My boy... why do you insist on fighting?... So Headstrong... Please, let us sit down, like we did only a year ago, let us sit down and talk... as friends... come on Anakin... you know it makes sense" Sidious spoke out to Anakin...

While all around Anakin, the Various Cruisers and Star Destroyers Targeted Anakins newly aqquired vessels with Ion Cannons in a hope of disabling him and allow the Clones to apprehend him...

"If Anakin does not Comply, Have your Clones Execute Pademe... Perhaps then his rage will consume him so much, as to throw him into the Darkside.... Yes... Perhaps... "

"As you wish my Lord" The Spoke, Snapping to attention... before turning to the Comms Centre...

SD followed the SC slighted behind. The SD was still firing their weapons. The shields were down. Lt.Pellaeon knew this SC was gone.

"Report to all SD do not move close to the SC. It might blow up and damage your ships."

The captain walked up to Pellaeon.

"Lt. this is from Commander Bly."

Pellaeon looked at the orders. He had gotten the promotion of Lt. Commander. Commander Bly must of liked what he had been doing. The captian looked toward Lt. Commander Pellaeon.

"Lt. Commander get ready to blow up the SC."

As the 3 SDs encircled the damaged SC 3 more SC appeared on the port side of the remaining SC. Since the SDs had encircled them only one full compliment of a volley could be launched and about a half of the other SD's compliment. Now three full voleys were being launched at one with the damaged half of the 4th SC. Now the SD was experiencing a not so nice shudder off it's entire ship. The compliment's of droid fighters "poured" out fo the bay and with the fighter cover elsewhere (I presume) continued to bombard the ships with everything they had.

OOC: When can I consider a SD destroyed?

The damaged SD knew they had no other choice. They made a course directly at one of the new SC. The SD had lost most power and the escape pods were going out. Some clones stayed aboard to make this sacifice happen.

Lt Commander Pelleaon saw this and ordered the SD to finish off the damaged SC and then the three other SC.

Just say that your own ship was destroyed/disabled/damaged... that is how you are supposed to RP.

Thank you for that un-needed post.

Now.
IC:

The droids were good to the very end, they boarded the slow moving landing craft instead of the escape pods and didin't leave the docking bay without full capacity. Sadly internal explosians were tearing the Strike Cruiser apart and already the bridge had been torn off and drifted off into space.

Elsewhere the SC watched with no emotion as escape pods bounced, critically damaged, off of their hulls. They moved slightly to the right so that the hulk of the 4th SC protected them from the blast of the 2nd SD and let them destroy the 3rd SD at leizure.

The CIS Strike bombers formed up in a staggard fomation and pepered the SD and kept them on their toes as the real fighters broke off to engage the ARC-170s still stationed in Bespin's atmosphere.

The turrets aboard the SD were hitting the CIS Strike bombers. The ARC-170 went after the Fighters. Lt Commander Pellaeon looked at the battle. The damaged SD was moving close to one of the SC. The course was right toward the SC. They were going to take it down. Now the three undamaged SD attack the other two SC. The damaged SD was on fire and the engines were failing it was getting closer to the SC.

The 2 Strike Cruiser continued to hammer away at the one SD while (hopefully) the other SD went around the destroyed SC. The SC Nemodian commander sneered in discust and moved his SC out of the damaged hulk of the Star Destroyer's path. He continued to also fire away and was wondering when this latest SD was going to die.

The Belbullab-22 starfighters continued to attack one of the Star Destroyers as the Tri-Fighters continued static defense with the ARC-170s.

CIS Strike bombers continued to pepper the shields with their bombs and helped in slowing it down. The Tri-Fighters opened up with their chain gun weapons and fired off their complimentsof missles.

OOC: ...Tri-Fighters don't have Chain Guns and the CIS Strike Bomber does not have bombs and is infact called a Belbullab-22 starfighter. as seen here...

and here for the Tri-Fighters weapons

The SD was right next to the SC and exploded. Lt Commander Pellaeon watched. He one SD was being attacked, but it's shields were at good levels. The remaining SD aimmed at one SC. They knew it couldn't take directy fire from three SD for more then 2 minutes.

My dead hulk of a ship, no matter how broken it is still stands between one of your SDs and bloks about half of another. While my three are in a tight triangle position, meaning one of yours and exchanging blows with 3 of mine while another of yours is supporting it. Wel, unless your destroying the dead and burning hulk but that's your choice. Also, thank you NP for pointing out errors within my posts, anyone else feel free.

OOC: One of your SC is damaged from the explosion from the SD

SDs started to move out of the triangle the SC set up. Once out and away from the blow up SC. They went for the damaged SC.

Quinlan was in the cafeteria, chugging down some questionable food choice. Extravagant food was frowned upon in the Order. Quinlan gagged. Another thing that could be different.

Finishing the meager meal, Master Vos started to make his way to the Council Chambers. 'They've probably finished talking by now', Quinlan thought.

OOC: as the Council meeting is over...

IC: Aayla left the Council chamber and headed to her room. she checked her messages. a message had come from the Intrepid that her assault force had come under attack. hitting the com she sent a message to military command

"this is General Aayla Secura, i want a Venator class Star Destroyer, two Dreadnaghts, three Carrack Cruisers, five CR90 Corvettes and two Acclamator Assault ships to head out to Bespin to aid in the battle, and send a message to the Intrepid, call it back to Coruscant along with as many of the 327th Star Corps troops as it can carry along with Commander Bly. last, tell them to leave Commander Deviss on Bespin and in command."

Lt Commander Pelleaon watched the glorious battle take place. The CIS would have no chance of taking Bespin. The captain gave the order to make it be one on one. He ordered the Intrepid to attack the damaged SC. The SD started to move to attack their targets. Then he recieved a message from Commander Bly.

"Lt Commander Pelleaon, I have just gotten the order from General Aayla Secura. The reinforcements are coming with other ships. I want you to destroy the damaged SC then come down to pick up the 327th Star Corps along with me."

"Yes Commander Bly"

Gilad Pelleaon gave the order then just as he did it the ships moved in. The Venator class Star Destroyer started to attack one of the SC. The two SD part of the original fleet attacked another SC. The two Acclamator Assault ships attacked the last SC. The rest of the ships were attacking the damaged SC.

The Intrepid started to move away and was going to a dock to pick up the 327th. On the ground Bly had gathered up 2/3 of the 327th and waited.

Snippet

OOC: I am not going to ask how you just said "boo" and another fleet appreared but who cares?

IC: The Strike Cruisers streaked for hyperspace and headed for home....

General Grievious looked across the battlefield, even though spirited attack by the Seperatist space commander they had been pushed back with a draw, not something that the Seperatists could use. His Magne Guards were effective on the cramp space they called Bespin but in all realism he needed something else......

The reinforcement dropped off 34,000 new troops and were staying here to protect Bespin. Commander Bly said good bye to Commander Deviss. The captain of the Intrepid was going to stay here at Bespin and become the admiral of the fleet here. He gave Pellaeon the new rank of Captain.

Captain Pellaeon was aboard bridge of the Intrepid. With him was Commander Bly. Bellow there was 3/4 of the 327th Star Corp. Capatin Pellaeon gave the order to jump to hyperspace and they were off toward Coruscant. Before they left Bly sent a message to General Aayla Secura saying they would be there shortly.

For the most part I am going to wind down this series of battles until a jedi player gets more involved, since really what can we get done? Maybe get a planet there and lose another, really nothing, since this RP is more centered around the characters. But I will continue on....

OOC: *gets more involved*

IC: Ki-Adi-Mundi immediately left the Council Chambers and flew in his Interceptor to the Hoth, and sent a general transmission to muster his forces for a strike at the Dearth Star.

Commander Neyo thanked the gunship pilot and hopped off, onto the streets of Coruscant that bordered the HQ. The fleet had just gotten back, leaving a small detachment to secure Honoghr, while Neyo walked to the army HQ to find his next debriefing. Supposedly the brass already had one for them, but one of the commanders wanted to talk to him personally. He entered the station, finding the clone already waiting for him. He smartly saluted, then relaxed.

"Commander."
"Yes sir."
"I've got a little of an unusual situation for you, and I can't tell you much of it now. You'll be briefed more on the ship to the destination. All I can tell you is that you'll be with a coalition of some high-ranking Jedi and commanders on this one, and your task is of the utmost importance to destroying the Seperatists. You'll be impeding a major plan of there's here, but you will certainly take your share of casulties. That's all I can say right now, but Master Windu will be your personal Jedi Commander. I'll call you when the forces are ready to go."
"Right away sir."

After the council meeting had ended and the various members had left to go about their preparations, Yoda walked alone down the corridors of the temple.

Eventually, after much thought, he met up with other Jedi and non-Jedi personnel and begn organizing the reestablishment of the Republic and Senate; all of the worlds were to be immediately notified and their leaders reassured.

Anakin's landing was bit harder then usual. He sat back into the chair and tried to think his next few moves out. It wouldn't take long for the clones to figure out that his fighter was no longer manned.

The flight crews were running over to the damaged fighter. Anakin was trying to remember the schematics for the Venetor Star Destroyer. He thinl he knew the quickest way out of here and to an terminal that he could probably hack into.

Anakin heard the clunk of the ladder being placed against the Star Destroyer. He knew it was time to move.

As the Clone tech climbed the ladder, he was knocked back as the canopy for the ARC-170 was blown off. Anakin jumped out of the cockpit and was running as fast as he could push himself. The clones saw nothing but a black and brown blur. Anakin felt himself tiring, his arm was in agony, and it was sapping strength away from the rest of his body. He saw the spot where he needed to go. He jumped again onto the catwalk and jarred his arm. He clenched his teeth and kicked out a ventilation shaft. He ducked down and crawled into it. His arm was screaming in pain.

He was able to make it to a junction point after what seemed like an eternity. He stopped and just fell onto the ground. After a few mintues he gathered the concetration needed to begin the healing. He needed to be quick though. He didn't know when the clones would be after him.
