Geonosis.

It been a week since the Jedi learn of Poggle the Lesser plan and be trying to gather a small fleet to attack Geonosis.

Sadly the CIS prove to be tiresome as they have managed to spread the clone army too stretched.

Thus the Jedi, with the Republic support, have start the invasion of Geonosis.

Above Geonosis orbit is a fleet of Republic and Earth ships.

Inside the leading ship there is a meeting with Anakin, Obi-wan, Mundi, Palpatine, Yoda, Windu, and James Ironwood.

James: "Taking down this droid factory is top priority" he said looking directly at Anakin.

Palpatine: "Are you sure a massive fleet is necessary for this attack?" He said with fake concern.

Windu: "Yes as Poggle is leading this factory so taking out the factory and his capture will secure a victory for the Republic" he said.

Suddenly the ship shake forcing Anakin, Obi-wan and Mundi to end the transmission.

Once on the bridge they are surprised to see several CIS fleet attacking them.

(Cruiser)

(Gun Boat: Pelta class frigate)

Obi-wan: "Admiral Yularen what the status" he said.

Yularen: "The Separatist ships is pinning us" he said then the ship shake again.

Suddenly a transmission caught Mundi attention so he answered it which reveal a sith.

Ghoggil: "Greetings Jedi. I am Darth Ghoggil and I have a message for you" she said.

Obi-wan: "What sort of message" he said.

Ghoggil: "You Jedi won't easily win this battle without losing your lives" she said ending the transmission.

Anakin: "She trying to make us afraid but we won't fell for it" he said.

Then the battle begin.

A hour later.

It been a hour since the battle begin and the republic managed to make the CIS forces leave Geonosis Orbit.

However landing onto the ground was bloody as many gunships were shot down by Geonosian anti air artillery and air defenses.

On the ground it was a bloody slaughter as many clones and Earth soldiers die to the droids and Geonosians.

However it wasn't long until the Jedi successfully took down the anti air artillery which turns out to be J-1 semi-autonomous proton cannons.

Thus securing the Republic and Earth Federation a victory.

A few days later.

It been five days since the Republic and Earth Federation have destroy the artillery and air defenses but now they are facing a difficult challenge.

Standing in front of Anakin, Tano, Obi-wan, Luminara and Barriss is a bridge that have five xenomorphs and a sith. But behind the sith is gun emplacements.

Anakin: "This is a problem" he said.

Tano: "We could destroy the gun emplacements first then deal with the bridge enemies" she said.

Luminara: "That would lead to our squads being slaughter as the xenomorphs would rush towards us" she said.

Barriss: "You know we could always go for a second option" she said showing a map of the catacombs which is underneath the factory.

Anakin: "I don't know if Tano is ready" he said which his Padawan insistence of going.

Luminara: "I say they are" she said which Anakin sigh as he watch both Padawan leave.

Anakin: "I don't trust this" he said which Luminara look at him strangely.

Luminara: "Why don't you trust your Padawan to go on her own?" She said which Anakin have no response to that question.

Deep in the factory.

What the Jedi doesn't know is that Poggle is watching everything.

Poggle: "Just as you predicted Emperor Vader" he said looking at a holographic projection of Emperor Vader.

Emperor Vader: "I knew the Jedi other option is the catacombs. What they don't know is that your project will be the jedi last mistake" he said which Poggle laugh.

It wasn't long until the Padawans mange to enter the factory but they are shock to see a massive machine unlike anything they have ever seen.

Poggle: "I see you Padawans have arrived to witness a glorious day" he said causing the two Padawan to aim their lightsabers at him and his droid guards only for them to be electrified by a sith who manages to get behind them.

Once the two Padawans are knock out the sith grab both Jedi and dragged them outside while Poggle activate the machine.

Outside the two master Jedi and their clones continue to distract the enemies only for the troopers to stop shooting confusing Anakin and Luminara until they saw the sith holding their Padawan.

Sith: "You can either submit defeat or face the consequences of your padawan death" he said then  the massive machine called EXCELSUS burst out of the factory aiming it weapons at the clones.

Anakin: "Never!" He said then unleash a powerful force that knock the sith back surprising Luminara and the two siths.

Sith: "Such power. But you lack the rage in that attack" he said then the EXCELSUS begin firing upon the clones killing many of them.

Luminara: "We must retreat!" She said only to gasp when Anakin use the force to knock the machine onto the factory destroying many droids.

Anakin: "Not without our Padawan" he said then use the force to grab the two ladies from the sith.

Once the Padawan were safe the Jedi and remaining clones ran.

However both sith smirk as they kneel before Emperor Vader who arrived to see the short battle.

Emperor Vader: "So Anakin Skywalker does have the strength and rage of the sith but were taught like a jedi" he said smirking behind his mask.

Poggle: "So the test was a success?" He said only for the Emperor Vader to frown at the machine caution.

Emperor Vader: "Sorta but we improved once we get the EXCELSUS off world" he said which Poggle bow.

Poggle: "What about the Queen? Should she be transported before we abandoned this world?" He said which Emperor Vader chuckle.

Emperor Vader: "Leave her since she will keep the Jedi busy" he said.
