Star Wars: CT-0292 Vaughn

Chapter 21: Reinforcements



I couldn't help but smile as the big horn blew, its origins? The Prince standing by the entrance to the cave, and all the Mon Cala´s turned towards him.

Now, I can't lie. He has a way of inspiring people.

"People of Mon Cala, all people of Mon Cala who doesn't wish to be Count Dooku´s slave, have hope!" He shouted as Ahsoka and Kit Fisto tried to get him back to escape.

"You will not be prisoners for long!" He finally shouted before relenting to their urgings and turned around, however. It was too late.

Kit Fisto and Ahsoka rushed forward, blocking laser bolts and ensuring the Prince's safety.

Meanwhile, I quickly swam to the entrance, and hid in the seaweed as I aimed my weapon, before firing.

Launching shot after shot towards the droids, focusing mainly on them. As the Quarrens would later help us. 

However, just a few seconds after. A wave of electronic laser was shot at the Quarrens and Aqua Droids, and as we looked up. We found hordes of gungans swim downwards as they attacked the Separatist forces.

"Gungans? The tide has turned in our favour." Kit Fisto said.

"Finally. Let's save my people. Attack!" He shouted, charging forward without a weapon. 

I spotted something out of the corner of my eyes and they widened. 

3 Quarrens were charging the Prince.

My left hand went to my booster controlled as I turned them on max, boosting forward, straight at the Quarrens. 

As I flew at them, my rear camera HUD showed the Jedi following slightly behind. 

I raised my gun and shot 2 shots, taking down 2 of them. But my boosters had been slightly too effective as I was on the third one already. 

I used the boosters to spin around quickly, and kicked out. Which smashed into the face of the Quarren as I stopped my boosters. 

And as the knocked out Quarren began floating away, I aimed my weapon and shot him again, ending him. 

I then handed the Prince one of the Quarren weapons. The Prince nodded to me before beginning to shoot back. 

I joined him as we began fighting the split off droids due to the surprise attack made by the Gungans. Only problem with the split off, was that the droids was everywhere. And soon enough, Ahsoka joined us as well. 

However, a few seconds later. A gigantic Trident-Class appeared above us and began spinning. 

Not this shit.

Luckily, we were almost perfectly in the middle, which allowed us to remain mostly unaffected.

However, just as the Prince felt safe, the Trident opened a door, and Tamson rushed out. Straight at the Prince.

I pressed a few buttons as I sped up, past the prince. And pressing another, that boosting just came from my right foot booster, which allowed me to spin backwards and smash the achilles of my foot into Riff Tamsons face, sending him to the side and into the turbulence.

Ahsoka then joined the Prince, as he had somehow gotten far beneath me.

Additionally, the droids managed to stay still while in the area were the turbulence was the heaviest, which forced Ahsoka to focus on blocking them. 

But I knew Riff was going for the attack on Lee-Char again. 

So once again activating all 7 boosters I headed downwards at top speed, my blaster aimed straight down. 

However, it was suddenly shot out of my hand by a Aqua Droid.

Who was killed by a reflected bolt from Ahsoka a few seconds later. 

I continued straight down as I saw a shadow, gunning straight for Prince Lee-Char.

And as they were about to collide, I appeared above the shadow and used the same foot tactic to kick the fucker into the turbulence. Straight into the arms of Kit Fisto. Whom fought the shark. 

After a while, Kit barely managed to punch Tamson hard enough to give us a second of peace.

"Ahsoka, escape with the Prince, I´ll hold him off." Kit said, and surprisingly Ahsoka turned to me, and told me to get towards the ground with the grappling hook.

But I shook my head.

"You go, Commander. I´ll just be a burden." I said and she looked at me for a few seconds before nodding, and connecting her wire to the ground, before grabbing Prince Lee-Char.

A few seconds later droids appeared all around us, and Kit Fisto held his hands up.

"We surrender." He said and I replicated the movement. Which was followed by me getting put in cuffs.

....

I sat by the entrance to the prison-camp.

After a bit of getting roughed up, my oxygen tank was filled and I was brought to the prison camp. 

My eyes narrowed as I caught some movement, and sure enough. After a recent prison escort was brought in, 2 shadows sneaked into the camp. 

And I saw a few Mon Calamari spot them and swim towards them. 

And with that I joined them, swimming towards the pair.

"Commander." I said as I entered the scene. 

"Vaughn! I'm glad to see that you're alright." Ahsoka said as I approached her.

"Thank you, but you both should come with me. The Senator and Captain is over here." I told them, and with that. We quickly swam towards them. 

I remained in the back with Commander Monnk as they began talking.

I also knew we would be found, so when I spotted a movement by the forest I prepared myself. 

And sure enough, a few seconds later 15 Aqua Droids appeared around us, aiming at us and specifically Ahsoka and Lee-Char.

As Ahsoka was about to make a move I put my hand on her shoulder.

"You won't win this." I told her, and before she could question me, Prince Lee-Char backed me up.

"He's right, I surrender." He said. Shocking the entire crowd. But I couldn't help but smile. This guy is indeed unique, it takes a lot of courage to walk into enemy territory and surrender. If it was Earth, he'd likely be silently executed, not infront of all the people in the original story. But this is Star Wars, I suppose.

However, surprisingly, they grabbed me as well, bringing me alongside the Prince and Ahsoka.

"Huh, I get to watch the show, eh?" I said as I was brought alongside them.

Ahsoka chuckled at that. 

....

I stood beside Ahsoka and the Jedi as I was brought a Quarren Rifle.

"The Quarren are with you." I heard the guy say and I smiled.

"Kill him!" I heard Tamson shout.

And Nossor Ri then flew forward, barely grabbing Prince Lee-Char out of harms way.

I quickly stabbed one of the Aqua Droids with the spear of the rifle, before shooting the one guarding Ahsoka.

I then turned my aim towards Anakin and Kit Fisto whom were imprisoned by the eels. I quickly shot the mechanism binding the eels, releasing the eels and the Jedi. 

Ahsoka grabbed her Lightsaber from the downed guard, however, I then sped ahead and joined Captain Ackbar. 

I joined him as we got charged by a horde of Aqua Droids, our reinforcements a few meters behind. I boosted my feet as I did a backflip, evading a punch from an Aqua Droid and landing on his back, before spearing him through the neck, killing the droid.

I then turned on the closest droid, shooting him, and he died as he was half a meter away.

I was then attacked from above by a third Aqua Droid, punching me in the head, making me do a backflip. 

As the same droid aimed his blaster at me, I barely managed to turn my head, before bringing my rifle up and shooting him three times, all the while evading another 2 shots.

Another seven droids surrounded me, but then Gungans charged from under, spearing into 4 of them and engaging them in combat.

The 3 droids still focused on me as I actived my right booster, and put full power, boosting me out of harms way. I then did the same with all 7 boosters straight up. Which sent me flying into the 1st of the third droid.

Aiming my rifle-spear first it pierced the droid.

As my rear HUD caught 2 of the Droid aiming at me. 

I grabbed the downed Aqua Droid before grabbing it and pushing it infront of me, letting it tank the shots. I then appeared above the downed Aqua droid and aimed at the 2 alive ones.

4 shots was enough for them.

But I couldn't relax as I suddenly felt as If I got punched in the back, turning around I saw 2 droids opening fire on me.

Gritting my teeth I brung my rifle back up and opened fire, evading my head to the right, escaping a single laser. Before releasing 7 of my own, due to the pain affecting my concentration, only 4 hit, but it was enough.

I checked the armor status on the helmet HUD to find that the laser had been mostly tanked by the armor, and I had a slight burning wound on my body. 

However, a sudden transmission came through every force on Mon Cala.

"Riff Tamson is dead, Mon Cala has won." 

And I sighed before looking around,

This is without a doubt one of the battles with the highest non-clone and non-droid casualties. 

All around me was the dead bodies of Clones, Gungans, Mon Calamari's, Quarren and Aqua Droids.
