Star Wars: Frontline Adventures: Agamar Rescue

Text

 * “Hurry up men, we don’t want to be behind schedule.” Arriurra said through his translator on his armor. “Sorry sir, we’re having trouble with the last crate.” A trooper said. “Here, I got it.” Arriurra replied. Arriurra walked over to the crate picked up and put it with the rest. “Sometimes I forget he’s a Wookiee.” Whispered the trooper.  “Come on men.” Arriurra said. “Sir, yes sir!” The men replied in unison.


 * Aboard the bridge of a Republic frigate, the men got ready to depart. “Lieutenant, you are cleared for takeoff. Said an officer over the ship’s com. The ship disengaged from the gateway, and begun its journey. “We are tracking clean. Making jump to hyperspace in five, four, three, two-” An officer said, counting down the hyperspace jump. As the ship disappeared into hyperspace, Jedi master Plo Koon looked out a window of the Triumphant and said “May the force be with you, lieutenant.”


 * “Well boys this was an easy mission, once we get back to base the drinks are on me.”  One trooper said. “Quite down men. Establish contact with the commander of Republic forces on the planet.” Arriurra said. “One moment sir.” The navigation officer said. After pushing a series of buttons nothing came through the com but static. “That’s strange I can’t seem to make contact.” The officer said. “Contact the garrison.” Arriurra said. “Yes sir.” The officer replied. “General Plo, we cannot make contact with our forces on the planet.” Arriurra said. “That is very peculiar…” Koon said. The ship emerged from hyperspace to the sight of several Munificent-class frigates and a burning Star Destroyer.  “Sir, we’ve been caught in a trap!” One pilot shouted. As two Separatist frigates begun circling the Republic ship. “They slinked us in a tractor beam.” The pilot continued. “General Plo, please send help-” Arriurra said. But the transmission cut as the Republic frigate forcibly docked with the Munificent.


 * The men stood by the door with their blasters at the ready. Everyone could hear the clanking of battle droids headed in their direction. It grew louder and louder until it was silent for brief moment. Suddenly the door opened; two destroyer droids rolled in and put up their shields.  “Freeze Republic scum!” Said a battle droid. The men dropped their weapons and put up their hands. “Admiral, we contained the Republic troops.” The droid continued. “Now, now commander… that is no way to treat our guest.” A voice said from the shadows.


 * Footsteps began and suddenly the figure stepped out of from the shadows. He was a Quarren with a cybernetic right eye. “I am Admiral Sillin Vako of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, I hereby declare you its prisoners… Ah, a Wookiee strong, bruiting, egger.  Yes. What are you doing in an army full of clones Wookiee?” The admiral spoke, stroking Arriurra’s fur. Arriurra didn’t answer. “It doesn’t matter because all of you will be reunited with your Republic allies on the planet surface. Take them away.” Vako continued. “Yes sir, get moving Republic scum.” The commander said, hitting a trooper on back.


 * Meanwhile at the garrison, Republic forces were preparing to rescue their comrades. “We’ve managed to capture a Separatist shuttle and reprogrammed its crew.” Captain Serros said. “Good, good. There is only one person suitable for this mission…Get him ready Serros. “Yes sir, right away.” Serros replied then walked away. Plo Koon stood pensive stroking his chin. Sometime later a helmeted figure stepped aboard the ship followed by the reprogramed crew. Captain Serros looked on as the shuttle departed from the Guardian’s hanger bay. “Good luck, sir.” He said to himself as the hanger doors closed.


 * Arriving at the prison the shuttle landed in the designated zone. The ship’s doors opened and prisoner walked out, escorted by two B1 battle droids. “Ah, a new prisoner…clone trooper. Let’s see what’s under that helmet of yours.” Said the warden as lifted the helmet off.  “You’re no clone.” The warden said. The trooper scoffed and replied: “Why does everyone say that.” “Wait a minute, I know who you are… Captain Tresherslider.  How lucky am I to have such a high profile prisoner? The Republic will pay a high price for you, my friend.” The warden said. “Profiting off prisoners? I didn’t think Sepies were like that?” Jack said confused. “No, no you miss understand my name is Borki Zersils, I’m with the Banking Clan. I’m neither Republic nor Separatist, just a man collecting his debt. The Separatist are merely paying back theirs, the Separatist built this place to hold POWs and slaves to sell. Once that’s done, a portion of credits goes to me. Zersils explained. “That’s sickening!” The captain shouted. “That’s business. Take him away.” Commanded Zersils.


 * As soon as they were out of sight, the droids removed his binders. “Captain, we’ve located the lieutenant.” A droid said. “Good, good where?” the captain asked. “In cell 1-9-7-7, the quickest route is through the confiscated passions room.” The droid continued. “Move out.” Ordered the captain.


 * After sometime the team reached the cell and opened the door. “Lieutenant,” announced the captain. “We’re here to rescue-” Jack tried to say but was cut off when Arriurra gave him a big hug. “Good to see you too!” Jack said cheerfully. “Sir, the droids broke his translator. We can’t understand him.” A trooper said. “We’ll worry about that later, right now we have to free the others.” The captain said.  “Others sir?” The trooper replied. “Yes, we have to move because it’s now or never.” The captain said.


 * At the prison command center, several battle droids were working on computers when one got an alert. “Sir, the newest prisoner never made it to his cell.” Said a droid. Sir, several prisoners are not in their cells.” Another droid said. “Gah! You fools it’s a prison break! Deploy everything and lock down the prison. Nobody gets in or out.” Said Zersils. “Roger, Roger.” The droids replied.


 * “That’s the last of them, let’s get out of here.” The captain said. As everyone made their way to the landing pads, several doors began to close, crushing one or two people. “We made it.” Said a trooper. But their victory was short lived when battle droids sprang up from nowhere. “That’s far enough, captain.” Shouted Zersils from the catwalk. You’re all outnumbered, so I suggest you go back to your cells… that is… if don’t want any blood on your hands.” Zersils continued. Just as everyone was going to surrender, a fleet of Republic ships emerged from hyperspace. In their renewed state of confidence, the group drew their weapons. “So its bloodshed.”Zersils said. “Execute them.” He continued. It was at this moment the captain holstered his pistols and pulled out his lightsabers. As he ignited them, he yelled: “For the Republic!” “A J-Jedi blast him!” Zersils commanded.


 * Meanwhile in space above the planet, several Starfighters begun launch from Republic cruisers. “Alright pilots, you have to clear path for our gunships to launch.  Let’s bring the boys back home, all ships fire at will.” Said Serros over the Republic frequency. Back on the ground, the landing zone had been engulfed in a battle for survival. Most of the group had resorted to taking the blasters of their fallen enemies, while Arriurra used his katana to slice a group of droids.  “Lieutenant think you can get me on that turret?” The captain asked. Arriurra nodded and tossed the captain into the air. When he was inside turret, the captain fired upon the other turrets and their destruction caused a chain reaction which killed a large portion of droids.


 * From a top the turret, the captain spotted a BT-7 Thunderclap. “Everyone head for that ship!” The captain yelled. Everyone boarded as fast as they could with the captain holding off the enemy reinforcements single handedly.


 * Suddenly a hooded figure emerged from the doorway. He pulled down his hood. “Greetings, Jedi. I am Angar, now prepare yourself because you will die.” Angar said as ignited his doublesaber and spun it.  Angar charged at Tresherslider, their lightsabers clashed. “Your mission will be in vain, no one will make back to the Republic.” Angar taunted. “That’s what you think.” The captain replied. The ship took off and fired on Angar. He dodged the attacks, meanwhile the captain climbed aboard.


 * The ship made its way out the atmosphere, “Angar, what are you waiting on? Go after them and get my ship back.” Zersils commanded. Angar only responded by force choking and snapping Zersils’s neck. “Sorry sir, I’m in command now.” Angar said. He got in his ship and took off to chase after the survivors.


 * “Sir, an unidentified ship has emerged from the atmosphere. It looks like an old BT-7 Thunderclap.” An officer informed Serros. “All fighters protect that BT-7.” Serros commanded. A group of Republic fighters surrounded the Thunderclap. “Follow us captain.”  Said a pilot the com. Arriurra was manning the ship’s turret and shot down a Hyena bomber which resulted it to go on a crash course headed for Vako’s command ship. As the ship neared, Vako closed his eyes and accepted his fate.


 * “Watch out you’ve got another ship incoming.” A pilot said. Angar’s targeting system beeped rapidly as he locked on the Thunderclap. “Sir, he’s got a lock you.” The pilot continued. He then flew behind the Thunderclap, taking on the incoming fire. Angar got frustrated, only killing the one fighter.  As he got ready to fire again, the Spectre came out of nowhere and shot Angar’s ship.


 * Realizing the extent of the damage, Angar broke off his attack.  “You’re clear captain, head for the Endeavor.” Maxson said over the com. “Copy that.” The captain replied. “Recall all fighters, the survivors are coming.” Serros commanded.  After sometime, the two remaining ships successfully fought their through the Separatist blockade and docked on the Endeavor. “Captain Serros, we have them aboard.” An officer said. The captain and lieutenant both came on to the bridge “Until we meet again, Jedi.” Angar said over the com. “Yes.” The captain replied. “Get us out of here.” Serros ordered. Angar watched as the Republic fleet jumped into hyperspace.


 * Arriving at the garrison, the rescued troops were rushed to the medical center. The captain and lieutenant were stepping off the ship. “Lieutenant, I have your reassignment orders.” An officer yelled, running to the pair. The two looked confused. The captain took the papers and read it to himself. “Well lieutenant, welcome to the team.” The captain said as they walked toward the mess hall.
