Ok this is the update: It does have pictures but I can't upload them Zero Hour-Clone Wars-Geonosis There was a stomach-pulling lurch as the gunship dropped from its rack and began hurtling towards the ground. Alpha 01 was a commando, a clone commando, his squad were with him in the gunship readying themselves for battle, the first battle of the first real war in over 900 years, the Clone Wars. There was a hiss as the large doors of his gunship opened. None of his training could have prepared him for this. He was still hundreds of feet above the ground and he had an incredible view of the battle. Laser bolts flew over the harsh landscape like an unorganised tapestry, huge columns of rock collapsed as random missiles slammed into them. He had been trained not to feel fear, but it was something that came naturally right now, as he watched as the two armies battled. “No, what was he doing?” he thought. He must not let his squad see him being fearful. He looked at the army of clones below, this was there first ever battle. It must be hard down there knowing that their every action was being watched, and that over half the galaxy was going to be placing their lives in the clone’s hands. But why was he worrying about them? He was a commando, their problems would be nothing compared to what he had to face. A red laser shot past him smacking into the other side of the gunship, he jumped back, shocked. Immediately he looked around, was anyone injured? His heart speed up, and he felt a growing feel of nausea in the pit of his stomach as he stared at the dismembered body of one of the gunners. So, this was war. “So, this is Alpha squad” Muttered Alpha 01, or Viper as he preferred to be called. He looked at his five companions. He had known them from the moment he came out of his cloning vat, he trained with them, fought with them. Until now they were like brothers. He stared at the nearest commando. Hs name was Alpha 88 but every one called him Decimator, for a good reason. The next was 03, he was a superb pilot, and was unimaginably called Pilot by everyone. His eyes them fell upon Snipe, he did not like Snipe as much as the others, he had no humour, no life in him, just pure obedience of every order he received, and the ability to shot something the size of a man’s head a mile away. He then turned his attention to another commando, Demo rarely spoke to them and was one to just get onto the job at hand, which in his case was most often some sort of demolition. And last but not least, was Steel. He was an odd sort, very aggressive, and preferred close combat to messing around with blasters, and yet he would do anything to save a squad member. “Alpha squad, you have reached your destination, requesting permission to turn off camouflage device and begin bombardment” said the pilot of the gunship in the same, cold voice that every clone had. The doors hissed open, they were in front of a huge droid core ship. It stood there ominously, the huge giant was at the back of the battle and had its shields down, and with them up they would never be able to get in. “Go ahead!” shouted Viper over the noise of the battle. The gunship began pounding a gap between some of the armour plating with missiles. Suddenly an alarm began screaming at them. “They have a missile lock on us.” shouted Steel “Fire the grapple now” ordered Viper as soon as an armour plate blew off the core ship. There was a clang as the grapple slammed in the core ship. The Commandos zip wired down into the core ship. “Are we all here?” checked Viper looking up at the gunship. It turned away and began heading back to the battle, when out of the blue, it was pelted with missiles. Viper swore under his breath watching the wreckage on the gunship slam into the ground. Decimator began moving down the corridor when suddenly he heard the dull beat of marching. “Get down” he called over the comlink. They all hid behind cover, waiting, watching, and fearing. A small group of security droids appeared at the end of the corridor. “Stand up and put down your weapons” ordered one of the droids in its synthesized voice. Snipe stood, up took out his pistol, and lowered it to the ground. As he did that, in the shadows Decimator armed his repeater rifle, and pulled the trigger. The droids were annihilated instantly. ”What happened to the stealth approach?” asked Steel, obviously annoyed. “I think it went up in flames” joked Decimator as he kicked one of the flaming droid carcases to the side. In the distance, an alarm went off. Decimator cursed under his breath. The rest of the squad went tense. Then the doors at the end off the room opened and battle droid came pouring out...
