Star Wars: The Yuuzhan Vong/ Chapter 6: Ground Assault

“Alright, if all things hit the fan, we meet up in the detention center and close the blast doors,” Rex advised. Everyone either nodded or said, yes sir. Without saying anything else, the Yuuzhan Vong exploded their way inside. “Leland, you get yourself to the detention center with as much medical supplies as possible. Can’t afford to lose you.”

Leland nodded but seemed more as a duck from a huge blast from one of the Yuuzhan Vong officers. Ponds’ head started to thump again; he could hear it thump. Rex took notice of Ponds clearly in pain. “Ganch, get Ponds to the detention center. Go!”

“Yes, sir,” Ganch acknowledged without question.

“No, Rex! I can still fight!” Ponds groaned while touching his temple.

“Ganch, get him to the detention center, now,” Rex ordered Ganch, blatantly in no mood to argue.

“Let’s go!”

Ponds could feel dizziness within him. Without questioning anything anymore, he clutched Ganch’s shoulder and Ganch walked him to the detention room. Han used his holdout pistol to blast one of the Yuuzhan Vong. The Vong went flying back, in shock to Rex, knowing how hard they could go down. “We gotta go!” Han yelled from the other side of the room from where Rex was. “There’s too many of ‘em.”

“Go! I’ll hold them off!” Rex shouted, getting to cover behind a metal desk.

“Don’t be wise, clone. Let’s move!” Rex just crouched behind cover and blasted at the Yuuzhan Vong. Rex gestured to get out of the room to Han and he listened but felt a sense of regret as the blast doors to the main control room closed, leaving Rex in there alone against the Vong.

One of the foreign species threw a grenade at the clone commander. “Throw a grenade at me, eh? I don’t think so!” Rex then chucked a grenade of his own at the Vong. “Eat this, scum!” Five Yuuzhan Vong had an immense amount of their body parts go flying everywhere. Rex chuckled. “Just like the old days!”

Ponds and Ganch were the first ones to enter the detention center, then probably known as the safe zone. Ponds’ temple continued to ache again which caught Ganch’s attention quickly. “Ponds, what’s the matter with you?” Ganch turned Ponds’ head to face his. Once that explosion from Rex’s grenade went off, it triggered a failsafe which unlocked all cell doors.

Aurra chuckled and slowly trotted her way out. Suddenly, Ponds went into a deep trance. “Good soldiers follow orders,” He chanted to himself.

“What??” Ganch exclaimed right before being knocked out from a swift punch by Scrape. Scrape then stole Ganch’s pistol that was in his strap and aimed it at Aurra.

“Goodbye you disgusting freak,” Scrape cackled. After that, he heard a gun cock. Ponds held one pistol at Scrape’s head.

“You leave her.”

“Idiot, this is one damn mistake you’re making and I swear to myself that it’ll be your last,” Scrape crunched his teeth together.

Aurra again chuckled and said calmly, “Come on, Ponds. Let’s get outta here… together.” Ponds then repeated the chant as both he and Aurra Sing exited the detention room.
