Star Wars: Purge/Chapter 17: Revenge

After the gunships landed, the clones, this time joined by the 52nd Star Corps and their new commander, set up a base camp and began to go over the attack plan on the Manor. Before Fox started the briefing, waiting for everyone to arrive, Typhuss suddenly grew angry as he saw the new 52nd commander, Commander Skyes.


 * "Hello commander. You might know me." said Typhuss, remaining calm.


 * "Oh, yes. I remember you were the first 52nd commander. Since the Clone Wars." Skyes replied.


 * "I have heard about your . . . failures at a recent war meeting." said Typhuss.


 * "Yeah, well, they're giving us the hard missions and the elite squads are off on other missions, so we have to do them." said Skyes.


 * "Yeah, right." said Typhuss.

Just as they finished, everyone arrived. Fox began to go over the plan.


 * "All right. As you all know, we're fighting the Cartel today. They are Enemy Number One for the Empire right now, and we have to get this mission done," he began. "The Coruscant Guard, 52nd, and Alpha Zeros will fight at the front entrance to distract most of the Cartel troops, and try to break in through the front. Meanwhile, me, Snipe, Typhuss, and a squad of four ARC troopers will try to get to the command room through the back door. We will make our way through to command, and, if the main group does their job right, we should meet little or no enemy guards. Got it? All right, let's go."

The group departed and split up in their groups. Fox, Snipe, Typhuss, and the four ARCs left for the back door. When they neared the back door, the ran into an unexpected obstacle. A guard stood at the door, and another guard patrolled the catwalk above the door. The catwalk guard departed to go around the corner of the building on patrol.


 * "See ya when I come around, Yaxley." he said.


 * "See ya in a minute, Vance." Yaxley called.

Fox called Yaxley at the front with his comlink.


 * "Um, this is Command, we need you here now." said Fox into the comlink.


 * "Is Macniar disobeying orders again? 'Cause just 'cause I'm his friend, that doesn't mean you could talk him out of it. Who is this anyway?" he said.


 * "Uh . . . " began Fox.

Suddenly, one of the ARCs coughed really loud. Yaxley turned around to where they were, but before he could take out his com, Typhuss blasted his head off. Vance came around, but before he could shoot, Typhuss shot him in the chest. He turned to the others.


 * "When we get to Command, I want to kill Draco personally." he said. The others nodded.

They went down a corridor, and turned down another one. After a few more minutes, they reached Command, and opened up a side door. Draco wasn't there, but his wife, Pansy Parkinson, stood near a holotable looking at a map, with a Red Guard who Yaxley said was Macniar. A female infantry soldier stood at a nearby computer, mending it. Suddenly, a comlink at the holotable came on.


 * "This is lieutenant Remus Tavers. We have killed all but twenty of them. Most of them retreated, but a few hid nearby the door. We are looking -" Remus was cut off.


 * "Macniar. Lily, go down to the back entrance and check on Yaxley and Vance. They haven't responded in a while." Pansy ordered.

Macniar gave a nod and they departed the room. Before they could think what to do next, Fox's comlink came on. Typhuss quickly shut the door and they listened. It was Admiral Ozai from the Chimaera.


 * "A fleet of Cartel ships attacked. The Destiny arrived here from a repair yard, but it was destroyed by the large number of ships, and the Chimaera has taken heavy damage. The Grand Admiral gave us an order to retreat. You better get up here, 'cause he told us to leave without you if you don't come NOW." he said.

The group ran from the door and to the camp, where the rest of the clones who survived were waiting. They boarded the gunships and left. They flew passed the wreckage and debris from the Destiny. Typhuss stared at it for a while, thinking if any of the crew who he known so long survived the destruction. They landed onboard the Chimaera. Typhuss came up to Ozai.


 * "Can we attack any other Cartel targets?" he asked.


 * "Yes, we have found one. It is on the planet Byss." said Ozai.

The ship left the system to Byss.
