Chapter 43 - Wise

"Change we will. Common enemy we share. Separate we should not. You plan we shall hear. The force says." The Jedi Masters all turned towards Master Yoda. They all felt the slight fluctuation in the force but they couldn't tell the meaning.

"Master Yoda are you sure you want to do this?"

"Will of the force it is."

--Diesel--

"The main thing everyone needs to notice is we are extremely outnumbered. The first thing we should do is aim at the sh.i.p.s. We have the range so there is no need for us to get too close too quickly. We will take them out and use the dust they create as a smoke screen. This is where our Naboo Shieldman will come into handy. Infantry will advance behind allowing for use to have multiple points of cover."

"Secondly, there is zero use for you being a dead man. The shields will save your life. Use them. Also, since we are prepared, Ruray supply some to the clones with shields. We will use the ODJTs to attack key locations. The Jedi and the Mandalorians will be used to assault from the front and the ODJTs from behind."

"I'll be giving direct command over the clones to the commanders except the 300th Battalion. Each Spartan will take a brigade worth of the 300th and push the enemy lines. With bait and switch tactics, The Spartans will be the decoys while the 300th provide covering fire. You'll be supported by my Clan members. Dith you be with Captain Waltz. Weinz with Captain Jackal, Ruray with Captain Titan. These will be the assigned groups. The droids will be completely outmatched."

"The Vehicles will be to be focused by your walkers, currently our vehicles are lacking so will trust the clones with this. Is that alright commander?" The clone commander and commandos just shake their heads. That will be the basics of our strategy everyone is gonna have to make the on the move calls."

"Permission to speak!"

"Go ahead Captain Rex what about my brigade sir?"

"According to Dom and Sophia I'm told you hold an extreme amount of promise. So you and Rilah will be following Skywalker in assaulting here." Diesel points down towards a map with his finger on an extremely large droid factory.

"Master Yoda, you're in charge of the Jedi, apply them to teams. You'll be mainly in support roles. Unless the battle become a melee, have your stronger Jedi good in deflecting take forward positions. The less skilled one should mainly focus on any support role that is required of them."

With this Mace was getting annoyed he felt the Jedi were being extremely underestimated that he didn't appreciate being treated with such little respect. "Aren't you underestimating the Jedi far too much? We have been the guardians and peacekeeper of the Republic longer than you've been alive."

"That maybe so, but according to the books you've not fought in a war since the last Sith attack, I can tell by your last strategy you have no idea how to be a commander. Your lack of insight when not wanting to even think about taking my advice. I've clearly fought many battles and the experience to back it up. Yet you the Jedi played peacekeeper with little to no actual war experience. After this battle I would strongly suggest joining the Military Academy."

"We are peacekeepers not soldiers!"

"And that's exactly why you need to shut up and do as you're told. It's no wonder how Jedi fall to this Dark side. Even when there Masters can't control themselves." This greatly upset one of the Jedi there and they quickly moved to defend Master Windu. Moving into a position where they can engage Diesel. Diesel turned his head toward the now aggressive Jedi."Restrain him."

The clones and the Mandalorians quickly moved to restrain the Jedi. Just as they were able to disable the Jedi Master Yoda forced lifted the Jedi in the air. "Sorry, we are. Orders we shall follow. Punish this one we will. After the battle it'll be handled."

--Shortly After Jedi Masters--

"Master Yoda the Mandalorians are becoming too powerful. If the clones choose to follow them, It could spell for a disaster for the Republic."

"Experience we do not. Learn we will. The force leads the way. After this Military Academy we visit."

"We are supposed to be peacekeepers not soldiers Master Yoda."

"Mace stagnant we are. Growth is needed. Learn we will. Prepared we must. Mediate after we will."

--Spartans--

"Diesel how did it go?"

"Not good enough, I should've pushed them harder. But we got full control of this battle now so I'll take this as a win for now."

"The Jedi are far too untrustworthy. Do we tell the clones?"

"Not yet. We need something to happen before we can come out with the truth. Captains I promise you, we will free your brothers from their curse. But for now we need to protect our homes."

"Yes Sir!"
