Chapter 62 - Incoming

P.o.V. -Galactic News Broadcast-

"Yooooooooooooo! It's Jeffers! Your favorite Galactic News Reporter! I am here WITH BIG NEWS! Guess who has returned to the scene again! YUP! You guess it! Diesel has returned. Again he shows the federation who is the king!"

*Jeffers turns to a screen to his right pointing that is now playing the battle that took place a day prior.*

"Look at him! Who are these troops in these troops in the black armor! Don't they look amazing! It's like they are immune to Blaster Bolts! Completely outnumbered and not a single causality."

"This is the Galactic News Broadcast Jeffers! And I'm Outaaaaaa here!"

--Republic Forces Jedi only Command Center--

While the new broadcast was going off the battle in Christophsis was really starting to rile up. The Separatist has a huge detachment of reinforcements get dropped off and they are forcing the Republic forces to slowly retreat from most battle lines. Even with the support of the 300th and Diesel things were looking rough for the Republic Forces.

What seemed to be a desperate push by the Separatist forces was actually a feint used by them to force the 300th in the frontline. Not allowing them to pull off any crazy maneuvers. They were constantly throwing random waves throughout the frontline forcing the 300th to move from one battlefield to the next. Lucky for the 300th they weren't through training with Dom so they had the stamina to push themselves to the limits but eventually they would need to rest.

"What are they doing? They keep making big pushes that seem extremely random throughout the front lines?"

"Anakin, I'm not sure exactly yet? There seems to be no reason to make these types of pushes throughout the frontlines."

"Are they probing for our weakest spots before making a final push?"

"I don't believe so. With these patterns it doesn't seem they intend for this battle to end anytime soon. Sadly enough, They had complete space supremacy at the moment with all the reinforcements that showed up."

"Are they trying to wear down the clone troopers?"

"Originally that's what I thought two. But Diesel has told us not to be so narrow minded. Let's see they never used this type of tactic before. So when did it start."

"When the 300th arrived right?"

Ahsoka looked at the both Jedi's and then at the map. She seriously debated on what she should do. She wasn't sure what she was seeing just yet. But she closed her eyes and began thinking of everything that happened since she boarded the spacecraft with the troopers. Greatest warriors, plan, use head, cripple. Not in the slightest? Not in the slightest? Why is that ringing a bell?

The force starts to flow through the young padawan, like it was making her remember. Greatest warrior, peacekeepers, not in the slightest. Put them together. When Diesel arrives they change their thinking why? Battle without a plan! Jedi are peacekeepers not warriors. Their aim is Diesel! How are they going to do that? She stares again at the map. They push, Diesel responds, stop and push somewhere else. They are trying to isolate him? They are using the pushes to figure out how he is gonna leave and arrive. They are planning on attacking the 300th while in transport.

"Master?"

"One moment Ahsoka."

"But Master."

"Ahsoka one second! We need to figure this out."

"

Ahsoka was quietly hushed and began frowning. They refused to listen to her. She stood quietly for a few minutes. She wanted to help but wasn't allowed to.

"They are making another push on Alpha one two!" Quick relay the information to Diesel. Ringing him on this communicator. He finally answered. "Diesel they are pushing onto point Alpha one two. We need you to head over there and assist!"

"I see. Have you done enough thinking to figure out what the Separatist are thinking yet Master Kenobi?"

"Not yet? The patterns are not making sense to me. It's like they aren't trying to win this battle right now."

"At least you are correct on that front." Anakin quickly turns towards Diesel slightly annoyed.

"Do you know more?"

"Of course I do. I'm just surprised you haven't been able to figure it out. I'm leaving the 300th on point zero three and heading to Alpha one two." You can seek Diesel entering a transport ship leaving the current battlefield.

"Diesel..."

Almost ending the call with the Jedi, Diesel looks up towards Ashoka. "Yes Ahsoka?" Ahsoka slightly flinches because you could hear the tone of voice change from him. Like he was expecting something serious.

"I don't know if I'm right but you shouldn't move alone."

Again you could hear his tone change to be far more serious. Like he was demanding an answer from the padawan. "I think they are trying to target you."

"It's amazing....."

"INCOMING!" Getting cut off a rocket hits the transport ship in the wing. Diesel quickly turns off the transmission and begins to brace for impact as the ship crashes into a nearby building.
