The counter attack

(AN: so I would like to apologize for the last chapter. I accidentally named it the same as my earlier battle of geonosis chapter so I'm sorry about that. Also second thing I know this update is a little early but I was excited so please enjoy again I apologize for using the same title as an earlier chapter in the last one).

Narrator: all out invasion. Following the costly initial battle the republic has successfully landed its army and reinforcements were called in. Desperate to stop the republic from taking the factory avona plans a final counterattack to turn the tide of the battle.

(Factory command room).

Avona stared at the holomap worry filling her. In the last 3 days since the battle began the republic had been sending minor reinforcements to back up their army stationed here.

Avona had barely slept as she constantly tried to figure out a plan to defeat the republic

The republic blockade had been supporting the ground attack with air raids on her eastern army so launching a full on assault would be a bad idea.

Fortunately they had dug into the canyons and valleys in the east and were suffering only minor losses to the air raids. But her army was now down to only 41'000 effective fighting strength.

However the republic air superiority made it difficult for Avona to plan a counter offensive. Especially since she didn't want to dedicate her forces to a plan that was too complicated and relies too much on luck.

Poggle had informed her about the new super tanks. However avona knew that unless they were on open ground the super tanks would be next to useless for her counter attack.

But she knew that the republic was also in a difficult position.

She recognized that they most likely couldn't just ignore her army in the east while they hit the factory and she knew who was now most likely in command of republic forces here on geonosis.

Anakin skywalker. A Jedi who avona hated due to his frequent disregard of the Naboo convention.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the arrival of poggle and his droid.

"General avona lord poggle wished for me to inform you of the factory's current production rate." The tactical droid says gesturing to poggle.

Avona gestured for him to go on. "We have 20 garrisons of new droids ready now. However the super tanks are not yet ready." The droid reports.

Avona was silent still staring at the holo map trying to decipher any form of weakness the republic was in.

however after looking at the path leading to the factory she suddenly had an idea.

"Commander do you think the republic will attempt a direct assault on the factory." Avona questioned gesturing to the bridge.

"No it would be too reckless for them to do such a thing." the droid replied.

Avona stood up at the word reckless.

"No that's exactly what they want to do. Launch a full Frontal assault and draw us away from our AA guns and wipe out the factory with air power." Avona stated a smile forming on her face.

"Perfect if the republic is to distracted by an attack on the factory their rear will be weak." Avona pointed out pressing some buttons to make figures appear.

The droid and poggle moved closer to the holo table to get a look at what Avona's plan was.

"You see gentle men. If the republic is completely occupied by the supertanks and the factory they won't be expecting my army to attack them as well since they most likely believe they won't leave their dug in positions." Avona smiled at the two as her plan clicked with them.

Tuening to Carmiya Avona gave her orders. "Carmiya take 5 of the knights to lead the assault I'll keep Alson and iliana here with me." Avona commanded.

Bowing her head Carmiya left with the other 5 while poggle approached Avona.

"A good plan general I shall prepare my warriors to fight." Poggle replied turning to a communication pad.

(Republic forces).

After Luminara and Anakin had watched the padawans leave to go on their mission Anakin and her turned to the map to discuss their next move.

"If the Padawans infiltrate the factory we must be prepared to draw attention away from them." Luminara stated pointing at the catacombs.

"Agreed our best bet is to March our troops in their parade style. We know we have to make it look tempting and avona will not be fooled so easily." Anakin replies.

Luminara felt her bitterness rise. Ever since the tranquillity she had felt humiliated by Avona's knights and like many others wanted to see Avona captured or destroyed.

"Once the factory is destroyed we will attack her." Luminara replies firmly.

Nodding his head anakin calls for Rex and Gree to inform them of the plan.

(Factory command) 2 hours later.

Avona smiled at the sight before her. The republic was marching in parade formation and was literally falling right into her hands.

The tactical droid had deployed the geonosian warriors and they had unleashed their super tanks. Now it was her turn. Activating her communicator she contacted Carmiya.

"Carmiya is the army ready."

"Yes Avona. We have followed your plan to the tee. Our remaining vulture droids have managed to screen our movements and we are approaching the enemy rear."

"Good you may now commence attack." Avona commanded.

Smirking under her helmet Carmiya gave the order to attack.

However just as Avona cut off the call a geonosian ran into the room reporting two Jedi were in the reactor room.

Annoyed Avona snapped her fingers and ordered her two knights to follow her.

(3rd pov).

The republic forces were celebrating Anakin destroying the bridge and tanks. But their celebration was ruined by the sudden attack from the rear.

"Everyone about face and take out those clankers." Rex yelled drawing his pistols and gunning down B1s and 2s while the few remaining republic tanks fired on the droid tank divisions.

The droids kept marching but due to no cover they were mowed down. However the beskar knights were making up for their heavy losses.

The knights almost never missed and clones were beginning to back pedal once the knights got closer.

"General skywalker we need help. The enemy launched a counterattack and were suffering heavy losses."

"Myself and master unduli will try to make it back in the meantime fall back and try to use your cover as an advantage." Anakin ordered slicing droids all the while.

Meanwhile Anakin and Luminara were struggling trying to figure out how to get back to the other side of the canyon.

Eventually Luminara came up with an idea.

"Skywalker if we run and jump our momentum combined with the force may allow us to clear the gorge."

Anakin Didn't want ri risk abandoning Ahsoka. But Rex was in trouble and Anakin did care about his men as much as he cared about Ahsoka.

Nodding his head the two Jedi deflected laser bolts while sprinting to the canyons edge.

Using the force to propel them forward they just barely managed to cross the gorge.

(Separatist control room).

Avona was ticked off her plan was going so smoothly but now two Jedi infiltrated the reactor room and she knew why.

If they destroyed the generator they would win this battle and not even Avona could salvage something from such a total loss.

Entering the reactor rebook she saw the tactical droid destroyed and she noticed a Jedi jump into the tank.

Climbing up the tank she heard voices inside.

"I'm sorry master we won't make it out."

"Not make it out!!!!! Ahsoka wait." Anakin begged her.

Avona grabbed her pistol and opened the hatch and then pointed it at the two inside the tank.

"Ah ah ah." Avona tuts. "Trying to destroy our precious factory I don't think so." Avona declares stunning Barriss.

However ahsoka leapt out of the tank tackling her to the ground. Rolling Avona scrambled to her feet drawing her sword. While Ahsoka drew her lightsaber.

Alson and iliana were rushing to her aid but Avona stopped them.

"I'll deal with this Padawan myself you guys secure the other one." Avona commanded rushing Ahsoka.

The two women clashed blades and Avona had to respect Ahsokas use of acrobatics it made Ahsoka more flexible and harder to pin down.

"Impressive Padawan but I'm a general and I don't intend to lose to you." Avona declared slashing at Ahsoka who pareie her.

"Heh funny separatist scum. I was about to say that you look more like a captain but man it seems dooku will make anyone a general these days." Ahsoka mocked.

Growling avona lashed out and deciding to use speed to counter Ahsoka she managed to catch her by surprise and knock her light saber out of her hand.

Smirking Avona leveled her sword at Ahsoka'd neck while her knights smacked force cuffs on barris.

"Surrender and I promise you will live." Avona demanded.

Avona was shocked when instead of yielding Ahsoka round house kicked her sword out of her hands before force pushing Avona into the generator.

Propping herself on her elbows avona glared at Ahsoka.

"You talk to much." Ahsoka mocked balling up her fists.

"Oh really that's how you want to play then." Avona declared throwing off her officers uniform revealing her tank top underneath. "Fine then." Avona growled swinging at Ahsoka.

Ducking ahsoka kicked avona back before attempting to tackle Avona.

However Avona rolled out of the way and kicked Ahsoka sending her flying backwards.

"Your good padawan I'll give you that. But you lack the same training I do. You depend to much on force and that makes you weak." Avona mocked.

Growling Ahsoka launched herself at Avona and managed to take her by surprise. The two rolled across the ground and began to grapple. Eventually Avona managed to put Ahsoka in a head lock and knock her out.

Standing up breathing hard Avona grabbed  her coat while alson detained Ahsoka.

"Bring the Padawans and head to the ship." Avona ordered.

(Republic).

Once the generals re entered the battle the republic began to push back Avona's counter attack.

Annoyed by the Jedi interfering Carmiya ordered the knights to focus on skywalker and Luminara so the droids could focus on the clones.

"So a planet rebels against republic law and in comes the senates lap dogs." Carmiya mocks drawing her staff. "How original."

She charges skywalker and the two engage in a. Fierce duel. However skywalker realizing the bombs never went off he decides to vent his anger against who he deems responsible.

"What have you done with my Padawan." He demands slamming his lightsaber against her staff.

"I have no idea what you do with those children you call Padawans and word of advice. It's against the convention to use child soldiers but apparently you Jedi didn't catch the memo." Carmiya growls.

Furious at the knight for mocking him he grabs her with the force before bringing her closer holding his lightsaber at her throat.

"Stop or else she gets it." Anakin demands.

The knights stare at Skywalker in shock and then fury.

"Do you Jedi are taking hostages now to win battles how cowardly can you get honestly." Torrance says gripping his blaster tightly.

Anakin smirks as he prepares to make his demands.

"Actually skywalker I'd suggest you let my sister go." Avona's voice blares from a nearby ship landing.

"Why should I." Anakin Growls.

Avona smirks before gesturing with her hands. "Because I have something you want." 

Marching out of the ship Alson and iliana drag Ahsoka and bariss out hand cuffed.

"So what's it's going to be skywalker. Peaceful surrender or I can take these two prisoner. The choice is yours skywalker." Avona declares as Anakin grips his lightsaber In a death grip.
