Nils's Last Stand on Ryloth/Story



Belongs and inspired by Lucasflim THIS WAS BAD. WHAT?! WHY?!

Jedi General Nils and his men had been fighting droid forces on Ryloth, in an attempt to free the planet from Separatist hold, for over two days. Now, he and his approximate amount of 18 remaining clone troopers had to buy time for the civilian Twi’leks to escape into the mountains. The droids were well on their way to the clones’s position... However, all hope was not lost as the Republic was already sending reinforcements, plus, Nils had his trusty Clone Captain John and ARF Captain Caleb at his side.

Nils replayed his final orders to his troops, “Steady. Remember: We have to buy as much time for the Twi’leks as possible.” They were getting ready to ambush the droids in the narrow canyon.

“Yes, sir.”, replied a clone trooper.

“Here they come.”, Caleb whispered to himself.

Nils ignited his lightsaber and pointed it at the droids.

“For the Republic! For the Twi’leks!”

Immediately, all his troops swung from their cover and starting opening fire. The firefight began...

Over the course of five minutes, Nils’s trooper count was decreasing. Both John and Caleb were knocked out during the fight (But the General assumed that they were dead). Finally, his forces were decapitated to the last man. Nils stood alone against an army of battle droids. They had stopped firing for some reason but still had their guns pointed at the General. Nils took a moment to see casualties done to his men... They were all dead.

“Metal monsters.” Nils said angrily to himself.

Just then, blaster fire shot a battle droid in the head... John was alive. He had regained his footing, blaster pistols drawn. Caleb followed.

“We’re not finished yet, sir.”, Caleb shouted. The two Captains returned fire on the droids.

“We can do this, General!”, exclaimed John. Nils created a delta formation with the two clones and together, they held off droid forces... But they were still outnumbered and outgunned.

“Argh!---” Caleb dropped dead to the floor after being shot in the head.

“Caleb!” John and Nils shouted at the same time. Nils felt sorrow and pain in his heart as he felt a living soul depart from the presence of the force. John was now back to back with his General.

“Let’s make the end memorable!”, Nils shouted.

“Ack!” John exclaimed as he was shot in the chest. The impact of the blast nearly threw him off his feet but he regained balanced and continued blasting his way at the droids...

“It’s like they keep coming...”, John said to himself. Nils was doing his best to keep the droid’s shots deflected from the Clone Captain...

“Ah!” John was shot again in the chest... He attempted to take a shot at his attacker but before he could pull his trigger, he was shot in the head... “Argh!” John, too, fell to the sandy floor of Ryloth.

“No!” Nils exclaimed. He continued deflecting shots but there was just too many... “Ack!”, He was shot in his stomach. The pain swelled all over him but the Jedi ignored it. He charged straight at the droids, and starting cutting his way through their ranks.

He was running out of energy...

“(Pant) This is...(Pant)... Sparta!”

Nils, once again raised his sword and started to slice up more droids. The droids eventually overwhelmed the lone Jedi: Shot him in the back, stomach, torso, legs and head before he finally fell to his feet and blacked out...

Epilogue: Their efforts were not in vain as the Twi’leks got reinforcements and were eventually free of CIS hold.
