Fox (novel)/Chapter 4: Defense of Corsucant

After the terrorist threat was vanquished, the troops returned to Coruscant only to find that it was under attack by the CIS. Hundreds of warships fought each other in orbit. Fox's gunship got shot, but the pilot managed to steer it into an open hangar bay. Unfortunately, it was a CIS cruiser, not a Republic one. The clones that survived the crash landing ran out and started blasting. Two droids stood in the middle of the hangar.


 * "You heard about the new DS 1 spider droid?" one of the droids asked.


 * "Yep. He's kind of creepy though." said the other.

They were killed less then a second later. Fox and his troops ran through the hangar as droids of the 45th Flight flew in from one side of the ship and exited on the other, followed by ARC 230s. They ran through the doors into a gun battery control room. Because the droids weren't paying attention to their surroundings, the clones killed them easily.


 * "Take a gun and fire on the nearest CIS ship!" yelled Fox. "CT-1983 and CT-1984, stand guard."

The clones took their positions. Fox aimed the turbo laser at the nearest CIS ship and fired. All fire went directly to that ship. Unknown to them, the droids on the bridge were notified of this.


 * "Corporal, take a squad and check what is happening. They probably had to much of that new oil." said the battle droid captain.


 * "Roger Roger." answered the Corporal.

The clones heard clanking footsteps and locked the blast doors.


 * "That won't hold them forever."

Suddenly, they saw a door that was leading to the bridge, and there were no droids on the way. They ran down the corridors and broke into the bridge. The clones shot all of the unsuspecting droids.


 * "Turn the ship and ram the CIS destroyer on the left." ordered Fox.


 * "Copy that." said the others.

The whole ship rammed into the destroyer, blowing up both of the ships. The CIS cruiser that the clone troopers were on was starting to split in half and blow up.


 * "To the escape pods!" yelled Fox, and everyone ran.

Two of the clones got blasted when the back part of the ship blew up. The rest of them made it to the escape pods. Captain Lock, part of the 23rd Coruscant Defense Battalion, and Fox were the last ones to get on the escape pods. They shot down to the surface of Coruscant. When the clones got on the surface, they saw the Seppies retreat.
