(Open to Confederate, and Republic Forces. Not neutrals.
This is the start of The Clone Wars. When peaceful resolution's have finally broken down between The Republic, and The Confederacy. War, is all that is seen in the future. This conflict will be the first of many in a very long and bloody war to come.
)
Scorch sat in the transport part of the Low Altitude Assault Transport, or low LAAT for short. It was his first combat drop. The first war he'd be really fighting, not Virtual Reality training. The clones around him gripped the rifles closely to there chest pieces. Clone 77561 and Clone 66542 were normal soldier's, but they were burdened with aiding Scorch, a Republic Commando, with destroying the anti air crafts that prevented heavier equipment from being deployed. His head set blared a bit.
"This is Republic command for all Commando's. We're beginning the drop in T-minus 10. Pilots, begin sequences and checks on your air craft." The usual sequence Scorch experienced during VR training. But what didn't feel as smooth, was the buzzing, and whirs of the LAAT getting warmed up. Getting ready for the drop. He turned his head to examine the pilots through the door leading to the cock pit. They both sat there, looking through the systems, examining there gauges, and talking to each other. Scorch chewed on his lip gently, going over the mission briefing in his head one last time before the mission started.
"Hey. Commando. Your rifle...what's up with that?" Clone 77561 asked, breaking Scorch's concentration. Scorch turned his helmeted head to the clone.
"It's fit for every situation. Just like me. There may be many like it... But this one IS mine." He smiled behind the helmet. Then, he felt the LAAT swoop up, the side rail doors close, and the transport take flight for Geonosis below. He had to trust the pilots to do there jobs. To at least get him and the two clones to the ground.
"Great... I'm flying in a casket..." He muttered to himself.

Ke'undar was already on the ground and was waiting for his squad to arrive they were shelling the ridges the Droid's tanks were trying to advance from and biotic barriers held by a group of Asari commandos were stopping most sniper fire from entering. But the Commandos were starting to lose power over the strain the constant barriers put on them so they'd have to hope that the reinforcements got here soon or that whoever they sent knew a way to break through the enemy lines. There was a crevice through the rocks that ran right around the enemy but they'd planted Droideka to cut them off and currently Ke'undar had no way of breaking through. An approaching LAAT gave him some hope so he went over to greet it as it landed, the barrier opening for it's landing. A mortar struck the the barrier and one of the Asari fell gripping her head. Ke'undar picked her up in his arms and ran her to a med droid. This was a problem, the barrier was about to give out and if it did they'd start suffering casualties."Pauk."

The LAAT went through the atmosphere, the sound of it going through echoed in Scorch's ears. The vibrations continued to rumble through the ship, hitting Scorch's armor, and continued the vibration's. He gritted his teeth a bit, and leaned against the wall.
"Just a heads up, we've got incoming! Gunners, open fire!!!" The pilots shouted over the headsets. The garbled chatter of radio transmission's continued. Scorch just sat idly by, waiting for the sound of the LAAT hitting the ground. The ship next to Scorch's exploded violently. The sudden noise surprised Scorch, he looked at the cock pit again, and suddenly the adrenaline that wasn't there starting pumping violently.
"HANG ON! WE'VE GOT INCOMING ANTI-AIR!!" The co-pilot turned his head and looked back at the trio. Scorch stood and held the hand rail, holding it tightly. The rest of the trip was more bumpy and the added clone troopers where even more jittery. When the sounds of the doors opening, and the view of the war zone in front of him, Scorch whistled more to himself than to anyone in particular. Then the two clone troopers were attacked by Geonosian's,grabbing them and flying out of the LAAT. He ran forward, looking for the jedi, or general in charge.
"WHOSE IN CHARGE!?" Scorch hollered over the sounds of the fighting.

Ke'undar turned his attention to the clone, he was a commando so he was bound to be pretty skilled. He approached him and aimed his caster at an approaching Genoshian from above and blew it to pieces with a crack of blue energy."Trooper, Name and number. I'm Ke'undar and I'll be your commander for this operation." He told to him, not stopping to shake his hand out of urgency."We're in a bad spot, droids are attempting to make their way over that ridge and pretty soon we aren't going to have protection from that artillery. So we need a plan to work around them and then take out their artillery. Though the only path we can find is through that canyon but they've planted Droidekas to stop our advance."

Scorch sized up the general nodded a thanks for the save then looked him over. He began biting his lip upon hearing the news. This had already gone to FUBAR and the mission had yet to start.
"Sir...My mission is to get to the anti-air and take it out... But if it's along the way, I can help out. Droideka's arnt going to be too much of a problem, what do we have in the arsenal??" He asked, taking up some cover, and helping with firing at the droids who rushed the front lines.
"If we can drop the AA guns, then the heavy equipment can come through, and command can begin it's all out attack. Or at least, those are my orders sir!" He shouted over the blaster fire of the multiple clones scrambling about and laying down suppressing fire on the advancing droids. Scorch tapped two clones on there shoulder's.
"YOU TWO! COME WITH ME!" He shouted, then signaled for the Jedi to lead the way. The two clones nodded and waited for the general to lead the way. The other clones fighting on, waiting for there chance to continue the fight further in towards the main battlement.

"Out of the frying pan and into the fire." She muttered to herself on an incoming LAAT. She looked at the clones around her, their armor as fresh as any. "Everybody starts somewhere." she muttered again, gripping tightly to an drop down railing. The craft shook violently as AA fire exploded a yard away from the craft, the clones jolting from side to side as Spartan 119 stood still.
She heard the soldiers mutter something to one another, "Comms on!" she commanded, turning hers on as well. "Nothing goes unheard." The ship began to lower, the side bays hissing as they opened to reveal the Asari commandos and a rather large Jedi.
"Cover fire!" she commanded, shooting over the barrier herself as the LAAT lowered. "Prepare landi-" she was cut off as a large anti-air rocket struck the cockpit of the ship with a deafening concussive blast. The ship spun and tumbled as the stabilizers, controls, and pilots all went out of commission. The troopers and her self were tossed against the back of the ship before colliding with one another like heavy marbles. The impact of the crash left them in flames.
"... Geh, Status, report." she asked into the Comms, expecting another survivor from the crash. Her shields shot and blazed, she pulled herself up from the same handholds as before, only this time it was on it's side. She peered out the flaming debris, climbing from the wreckage, "Cecil..."
" Yes~" the AI sang.
"Status report."

Ke'undar listed off what they had to go buy when it came to weapons, a dozen blasters, a couple rocket launchers, and a bunch of thermal detonators. At the Clones signal he started to lead them to the canyon but stopped right before they came into the sight of the Droidekas. He wasn't sure why he trusted the Commando, he didn't even give his name or number but he was a commando and that had to mean something. All that was pushed to the side when he saw the dropship go down and the Spartan climbed from the wreck."Well our odds just got better. Spartan! Over here we'll need your aid in getting through." He waved her over to them and continued on leading them, figuring she would catch up."They must have upgraded batteries, their shields haven't even dropped to recharge from power usage. And we can't risk heavy explosives on them or we could block the canyon." He closed his switched his mask to an echolocation spectrum so he could tell how many were there."Seventeen." He muttered, his mandibles clicking in aggravation.

Scorch nodded in agreement with the way things looked.
'A Spartan? Interesting....' He thought to himself as the general mentioned the legendary heroes.
"Figured something like this might happen... Guess it's time to live up to my name...Scorch. They're up for grabs, take'em if you need them." He said more to himself. He readied two sets of grenades he had brought with him.
"Droid hoppers. It'll short circuit there shields..." He nodded at the Droideka's. Then, the LAAT the Spartan was on, got hit directly with a missile.
"NOT GOOD! We gotta get to that drop ship. Sir, permission to detour around the Droideka's to pick some help, and wounded?" Scorch immediately indicated to the gunship. With any luck, the Spartan, and at least one other clone would be alive. He turned to the two clones and gave them the droid EMP's he stole from Research and Development on Kamino. He switched his rifle to the sniper variation and zoomed in on the crashed ship.
"Sir, possibility of multiple WIA's...(Wounded in action) And they're near the line of defence of the Droideka's in the canyon." Scorch observed some more before lowering the weapon and turning to look at the Jedi.
"Order's general?" He had to wait on situation's like this. It was mainly why he preferred to work with his own squad away from Jedi's.

"You are in a war-zone"
"No S#!&..." she replied reaching into the wrecked drop-ship for a weapon. The hot metal and fire nearly steamed her insides. "What about it?"
"Calculations, this ship is out of commission. I suggest immediate evacuation." A shot whizzed past her head right as she ducked to grab the Spartan Laser. "Incoming fire."
"No S#!&!" she repeated as if to herself as she analized the weapon. "Cecil, scan for defec-." She looked up as the Jedi spoke, calling her forward.
"Scan complete, no defects found in species." Cecil spoke, obviously scanning the wrong thing for defects.
"The laser..." She followed post haste, scooping up a minor blaster in her other hand, "Scan the laser!" she replied as she shot additional suppressive Fire into the crowded, traditional lined up droids. "F%#@ers know nothing about war." she commented as three easy 'head' shots were made through a couple well placed shots, "target practice." she muttered as she continued, the clones could handle the battle. (she followed quickly, catching up)

"....Well...Never mind then..." Scorch watched the Spartan leave the drop ship and start tracking over to them. He motioned for the Spartan to keep it low key on the way to them. Also motioning that 16 bogies were well within range. Hoping the Spartan would understand that they were not in a good predicament.
"Alright boys... Either we do it the easy way...Or the hard way..." He said more to himself than to anyone in particular, turning to look at the Droideka's. The two clones who were with him sat eagerly down and awaited further instruction's, having they're own private conversation to themselves. Scorch turned to them and tapped on his helmet. One hand signed the two's radio chatter. Scorch switched his radio over to the pairs.
"So boys...What do you think?" He asked indicating to the droids ahead that needed to be dealt with. The two looked at each other, then back at Scorch.
"Sir...This mission's FUBAR." The left clone said immediatley.
"Crazy Eight...Relax. He's just asking for our input." The other put a hand on his shoulder. Crazy Eight sighed.
"Your probably right Jax." Crazy Eight responded. Scorch sighed and shook his head.
"Look. Idea's? Go." Scorch brought the two back on point. He turned to the Spartan and hand signed there radio signal to include the Spartan.

Ke'undar looked watched the droids and scanned the area, looking for a way to get Scorch or one of the clones close enough to take down the shields while not being torn to shreds."Commando Scorch hand me one of those droid hoppers, I'm uncertain that the CIS has upgraded their sensors so my cloaking field may keep them from seeing me so I can drop the grenade and get back here without putting any of you at too great a risk." It was likely the droids would start firing the moment the hopper dropped but this was the safest way to get these clones and the spartan through and save the rest from being crushed by artillery.

"Functional~" Cecil sang, "permission to add Comm uplink?"
"Granted" she replied as she approached, "SPARTAN 119, Grey Team signing in, copy?" She asked through Comms, recieving assurance that it went through by one of the three troopers. As they waited and looked to her for an answer of some sort. The obvious choice was a landslide to crush the droids below, but the path would be needed later. The big (fully functional) Jedi made his move before much more thought could be put into it.
She held up the laser, ready for action. If lined up right a single shot could even get a few in a row. "Line, Em up. Every shot counts." she told them. "No, explosives while he's down there... Concentrated fire will work just as well." She looked at the three of them, "you," she pointed to the one on the left, "take the flank. You," she pointed to the one on the right, "take the high ground, coordinate with him." she motioned to the first clone again.
"And you." she turned to scorch, "we'll take positions across. Won't know what hit em." She nodded, "Hoora." she spoke into her sound proof helmet with the comm system running.

Scorch stared at him, trying to figure out his name.
"Um...Sir.... I just realized I never got your name." He handed him the droid hoppers.
"Besides that, we can cover you from here. So, you get the grenades in there, and we'll start picking them off one by one. You only have eight of them sir. So we need to clump them together as much as possible." Scorch added on, handed the second belt of grenades to him.
"Crazy Eight, Jax, get ready to lay down suppressing fire. When the general gets the grenades in there, we have to be ready to pick them off....And we need to clump them together." Scorch switched to blaster mode.
"Great...A suicide mission." Crazy Eight muttered. Ajax more or less nodded with Scorch and began setting up some cover, moving what rubble he could to form a makeshift barrier.
"That alright with you Spartan?" He asked, looking up as the Spartan got into the group.

"Ke'undar is my name, and I'll make sure to clump around them for and get to cover." He grabbed the grenade belt and cloaked, heading towards the group of droids he was happy to see all of them were pretty much ignoring him and hadn't noticed the grenades being dropped next to them. When the last clump was dropped he rushed back to cover and uncloaked. Two seconds later the grenades went off and the shields dropped. Without waiting for the clones and spartan to fire Ke'undar rushed the line and cut down two of the Droideka and grabbed one by the chassis and jabbed his wristblade into it's back when the others turned to fire at him he grabbed a circuit to activate it's shields again. He was stuck in that bubble waiting for the clones and spartan to deal with the others or move their fire so he could take the rest down.

She revved up the laser, the red landing on one of the Droids. "Fish in a barrel" the laser shouted with an overpowering red blast. The machine burst into blackened and fried electronics. She didn't bother putting too much effort into a support. The droids were all preoccupied foreinf at a shiekd that wouldnt yield. "..." She revved up another shot, lining two droids up perfectly, as they shattered and blew to pieces. "Concentrated fire." she commanded, pulling out her standard trooper rifle to assist with the what remained of the few that remained between all of their work.
