Narrator: War in the outer rim. After retrieving the holocron the Jedi sent padme amidala to spy on separatist ally rush Clovis. During the mission she discovered the new droid factory on geonosis. However knowing the republic wouldn't ignore such crucial intelligence count Dooku commanded Avona to take her army and mount a defense of geonosis.

(Atmosphere of Geonosis).

Avona's command ship began its descent and looking around she could already tell this wasn't going to be east cause despite the fact that they had a droid factory she knew the republic wouldn't be pulling any punches to shut it down.

What concerned her was if the republic learned about the weapons this factory was making not only would it be second to impossible to hold the republic off it would also be very unlikely she could command an effective retreat.

However instead of letting those thoughts eat her she decided to begin to plan her defense and the best way to do that would be to speak to poggle.

"We are now approaching the main foundry mam."

"Good inform lord poggle of our arrival and tell him I wish to speak to him." Avona commands.

"Yes mistress."

After ten more minutes they land near the main foundry where two geonosian guards approach to escort Avona and her knights to poggle.

She had left Carmiya at Kynar to watch Mila and to command the planet forces. Since she couldn't bring the whole 3rd army she brought only 6 divisions which was formidable but against clones and Jedi she knew that number wouldn't do much to shape the outcome.

Arriving at the main command room she was met by poggle and his tactical droid. (An: I'm just gonna tho poggle talking so I'm not repeating myself with the droid saying the same thing).

"Welcome General Avona." Poggle says with a small bow.

"A pleasure lord poggle. I must admit you reclaiming geonosis is a true show of tactical skill and brilliance on behalf of the geonosian warriors."

"You honor us general. I must say you are not like most in the confederacy you don't seem to be as judgements about my people as other may I ask why."

"Of course. You see poggle as a general and governor I believe in the principle that all of us are equal not one species superior because of tech and intelligence. To me all are valuable to our great confederacy and all are equal so while your people are often called bugs they are not you all have brains your intelligent and skilled therefore I do not believe in the prejudice against you all."

Poggle seemed taken aback by her words but nonetheless was grateful to her for her kindness and sincerity.

"Once agin I thank you general. However I can't help but ask your here for something more than a friendly chat."

"Indeed I am. You see I was only able to birth 6 divisions from my main army and I wanted to ask you where would the best defensive position on this world be."

Poggle seemed to ponder her words before pulling up a map.

"Here. The eastern hemisphere has many ridges and cliffs where you and your droids can dig in. If possible you may even be able to force the republic into a war of attrition."

Avona smiled pleased with this information.

"Thank you lord poggle I shall make preparations to greet our Uninvited guests." Avona replied with a bow her smile still adorning her features.

(Republic briefing before the battle).

"And with that said we all must converge here in order to prepare for our attack on the geonosisian main complex." Obi wan said bringing their briefing to a close. (An: again if you guys don't mind I tend to avoid repeating dialogue from the show to save time and to make the story more creative).

The group nodded their heads in acknowledgment. However ahsoka spoke up.

"'Master Kenobi. According to our newest report apparently General Avona is on the surface most likely there to protect the factory. What happens if any of us run into her and whatever forces she's commanding."

The group was silent. They knew Ahsoka was right if they recklessly played into Avona's hands they'd lose the battle. But they couldn't just ignore her either.

Finally after 5 minutes of silently debating to themselves Obi wan spoke.

"Here's what we can do. If any of us bump into her do not fully engage avoid her for now focus on the factory and once it's out of commission we will turn our full attention to her."

Agreeing with Obi wan they all made their way to the hanger to prepare for the attack.

(Surface 3rd army Eastern Hq).

Tx-1943 was making his rounds when he y a B1 running to him.

"Sir we are detecting republic vessels approaching us from above."

"Initiative ground to air defense protocols and deploy the rocket droids and vulture droids." He ordered his tone leaving no room for argument.

Relating his orders their guns were drawn to the sound of gunships heading for them.

Signaling to begin attack the sky was soon full of anti air bursts and the sound of rocket droids and cultures rushing to intercept the enemy was all the noise the droids could hear as they fought to bring the gunships
Down.

"HURRY ACTIVATE THE GROUND DEFENSE MISSILES." A B1 yells to his companions who rush to another section of the canyon which was carved out to house missiles

(Clones).

The clones were hanging in for dear life as Geonosian and droid ships fired at them and as they were charged by Avona's rocket droids.

"Hold Firm gentleman we are almost there." A clown pilot screams as he struggles to dodge incoming fire.

However suddenly dozens to point defense missiles are fired into the sky and 4 gunships are brought down.

Skywalker was livid as he watched their gunships get picked off one by one but he swallowed his anger as he kept moving.

Mundi was struggling to advance approaching from the east was difficult since he was frequently attacked by geonosian forces and droid units commanded by Avona.

Unaware of who he was facing he urged his men to head for a ridge where they could hopefully rendezvous with skywalker.

Kenobi's fkrces were in a blood bath as they struggled to keep the enemy at bay from their defensive positions.

(Separatist command).

Avona watched the battle on a homlmap and she was furious.

Mundi was currently riding her advanced units and was heading to a ridge that would take him to rendezvous with maybe enemy forces headed along that route.

Further more the clones in the center were pinning down vital units that would be better used elsewhere.

Eventually a geonosian ran into the room most likely with another report.

"The enemy ahs combined forces and are on their way to the center to reinforce their comrades how is that possible the wall should've destroyed the few companies of the enemy's southern thrust." The tactical droid translated in disbelief.

"WHAT." Avona yelled livid. Turning to face her knights she decided to try one last gamble to halt the enemy before it was too late. "Carmiya take the knights and 100 biker droids and a tank battalion and I want you to cut off the republic forces headed to the center at once." Avona commanded.

"And TG: 1617. Get me general Cole mink of the trade federation in the Gazana system." Avona ordered the droid desperate for reinforcements.

Nodding his head the droid moved to make the communication while the knights left to follow Avona's command.

After 4 hours of waiting they finally connected However they were met by a B1 commander.

"I must speak to General Mink at once." Avona says urgently.

"Sorry mam I'm afraid the general cannot be disturbed now."

Avona annoyed this general should be at his post not elsewhere unless he was in conference but avona knew otherwise curtesy of her being a high ranking general.

So the apparent laziness of this general she was not having it.

"Well then disturb him commander. Before I decommission you for spare parts." Avona growls.

"I'm sorry mam I cannot."

Avona was fuming at this droids continual refusal but then a suddne tremor seemed to occur throwing Avona off her feet.

Turning to the tactical droid her face now concerned the droid didn't even need her to ask before he activated the holo table.

"Mam I'm afraid the main shield generator is down."

"How." Avona demanded.

(Earlier).

Carmiya was speeding towards the enemy forces hoping to cut them off and on the way she passed the destroyed and dead bodies of geonosian warriors and droids.

Filled with a resolve to not fail Avona she and the knights and their commando droids raced forward to stop the enemy.

(Republic forces).

"General Kenobi look." Cody yelled pointing to the incoming droids.

"Take them." Anakin orders charging at ten droids followed by Ahsoka and his men. Gesturing to their clones to follow skywalker and his men. Jet and Cody charged as well.

However Mundi stayed back to support Kenobi.

Commando droids immediately attacked the clones using their agility and tough armor to their advantage while the knights held back providing cover fire with pinpoint accuracy.

However noticing the ferocity of jet and how well his men were doing against the commandos Carmiya had an idea.

Smirking under her helmet she drew her beskar staff. Turning to face her companions she issued her orders.

"Alson, Torrance, lancer, Ronar, keep the togruta and her master occupied. Lance, iliana, phaser keep the clones busy and assist the commandos I shall take on their special ops unit."

Nodding their heads the knights split up to follow orders.

"Men concentrate attack on that warriors." Jet orders pointing at Carmiya.

Obeying his orders the flame troopers immediatly open fire. However thieve blasters do virtually nothing to Carmiya's armor.

Smirking again she. Shins to run cutting down clones as she advances on jet.

Shocked at her sudden ferocity jet scrambles to avoid her first strike before he grabs a fallen commandos vibro blade.

"What are you doing. Helping the separatist scum when you could be serving the republic." Jet demands trying to appeal to her.

Carmiya's smirk turned into a scowl at that. "Oh really. Is your republic so righteous that you guys are given a pass on racism and insulting races who plead for your protection. Do you clones serve on your own free will. Well I do and I fight not for Dookus greed and power but to protect the innocent from monsters like you." Carmiya replies defiantly as she lashes out.

Jets training allows him to parry her first few strikes but he quickly realizes he needs to fight a bit more strategically.

Using his raw strength he begins to over power her and eventually knocks her blade out of her hands.

"Surrender." Jet demands leveling his blade at her throat.

Instead of replying Carmiya wacks his blade away and tackles jet.

"Heh your lucky avona loves taking prisoners." Carmiya replies knocking him out.

Noticing republic bombers headed their ways she orders the knights to with draw while the droids hold them off.

Noticing the knights withdrawing Anakin orders his men forward. However commandos. Block him while Carmiya and the others make it to the speeders retreating back to friendly lines.

(With Avona).

Avona was livid. Not only had the republic forces destroyed the main shield generator. This no good nemodian had kept her waiting costing precious hours.

"I am in no position to offer you aid general Avona." General mink stated arrogantly. "I was told to keep my army in the Gazana sector and I cannot offer you aid." He says with mock sympathy.

"Thank you anyways general." Avona replies cutting off the communication.

After 3 minutes of silence avona slams her fist on the holo table her sudden outburst startiling poggle.

"So no reinforcements huh." Avona laughs without humor. "Fine by me. If the republic wants geonosis so bad I'm gonna make sure they bleed for every inch." Avona growls facing the map.

An: the battle has begun and comment what you want to see happen to commander jet.
