Aya nodded. "It may have been a test, but my flirting was equally real." She stopped, turned and kissed him on his cheek. "Good luck, it is my wish that my orders don't get you killed." With that she pointed as she stood back. "Docking clamp for the AT-AT's. Have your orders and give them to the AT-AT's officer, or just lead it your-self." She abruptly saluted. "May the Force be with you!"
Throttle turned and glanced Aya, lacking reasonable words to express his reaction to her sudden actions. He turned then as she spoke again in the direction of the docking clamp. He lifted his helmet up and brought it down over his head "Fair miss Sraf, I have cleared assignments similar to the one you have providen me with relative ease on my very own. With the forces you have given me, the hangar is your on guarantee" he said, a smile behind his helmet. He placed his hand over her shoulder, holding it there for a few seconds, then gently patting it and positioned himself in attentional salute "I will return, and I'll bring as many of your soldiers in one piece as possible"
Throttle walked towards the exit of the garrison, but before walking trough the doorway, he halted, turned and looked at Sraf. She actually kissed him. Humiliated to admit to himself, trough his entire life, that was the first kiss he had ever recieved. He stood there and watched Aya for what seemed like a minute before taking a deep breath and walked out.
He raised his hand, he clenched his fist and the commando lined up around him like a bunch of robots given a command. He then gestured with his hand towards the AT-AT's and they darted forth. He, he walked in an average pace behind them and turned to the most present officer "I want the AT-AT's maneuvered by trained officers. I will lead the foot soldiers. That is where I will do most good" he commanded and the officer nodded, ran of and prepared the vehicles.
It didnt take long before the machinery was running, the troops was lined up and the attack-force was ready to move. Even then, unlike every single time before, Throttle paused. He who was the most speed efficient commander after Darth Banis on the Blue Riot paused. He paused and he turned to the garrison, hoping for another glimpse of Aya before he gave the command to move out. What tingling feeling that went trough his body, he could not identify. All he could do was hope it was not harmful.
Aya stepped out into the clearing, the devision commander on her heals. She watched the AT-AT begin to clamber out, the AT-ST's flanking it. She blew it a kiss and smiled, then turned to the devision commander. "Deploy four AT-AT's and eight AT-ST's into defense patrol squads." She disappeared from view, into the building

Vassisk glanced at Ru. "Can you confuse any of those B-wing pilots with the Force." He motioned for Kirv to come forward. "Have your gunners start drawing up firing solutions on the Mandalorian fleet. Corperal Olm! Is that frequency emission below the Manda's yet?"
"Twelve minutes, uh, sir."
jacen picked himself up and looked at the sky "she's had a fews hours training, i'm not her master anyway" jacen answered as he took out his communicator calling for reinforcements which turned out to already be on the way, juno was still unconscious

The mon calamari cruiser and the modified Aggressor cap ship (flagship) simulaniously fired at (banis' ship) the massive ion blast knocking huge damage to shields and then the massive plasma shot did even more damage to the shields (they'd be arround half depleted) and began charging for the next vey as it's two mass drivers continued fired allong with it's 4 turbolaser batteries. the 5 star viper squadrens that were luanched protected the front end of the Aggressor aswell as 25 droid fighters

The Dark Blade has no visible shield generators... also... and I'm sick of this, but you think we would notice your ships turning to face us and drawing targeting solutions. Giving us the chance to react to it. But you decided to skip that and just fired with blasts far more powerful than they should be. Besides... EH, why does one pilot destroy many fighters... thats impossible because none of my pilots are dumb enough to do that, and are definately trained well enough to avoid your lasers. And if I remember correctly, B-wings are not as maneurable as A-wings, thus on the first pass the A-wings would have taken only a few losses and destroyed half of the B-wings. Jeze read the X-wing series would ya! Besides our ships are still out of weapons range. We have to get closer, we can fire ranging shots if we want... 😄))
i just skimmed the last three pages i assumed you were waiting for me before starting the huge battle, so i just posted my first move and i'll probaly be gone again for most of tonight, and B-wings have strong shields, stronger than one a-wing pass, and also have much heavier weapons but anywa i thought you guys were in range so my bad, and stele is also literally the best pilot ever in the imperial navy, and equal to vader
Jacen was flung backwards by telekinetical force and into some bushes just next to a fallen tree, roughly twenty meters away from where he first stood. Darth Banis turned visible, decloaking herself just by Daran's side "Knight Daran Trist- we are leaving" she commanded, not actually paying him any attention, and instead kept an eye on all whom was not Daran. She with an up and down motion of her hand lifted the injured soldiers into the air, then smashed them to the ground again- knocking them unconcious.
*
Throttle could not help but to smile, before he raised his hand and gestured a 'move out'. The troopers started walking and the vehicles caught speed in rate of the troopers. Throttle had a look around, then sent a round of his rifle into the ground where he stood "When I give the order to move, we RUN" he somewhat annoyed claryfied to the troops and the groups of soldiers picked up speed rapidly, each formation lead by a personal commando of Throttle. He himself, started last but quickly made his way to the front, where he stayed. Furthest ahead of all.

Ru eyed Vassisk, shaking his head "I will get in position, Grand Admiral Vassisk" he said and exited the bridge. On his way out, he patted Ty on the shoulder. Kirv turned to Vassisk to clarify "Ru will take position in a special force defensive chamber. He will have a better overview from there and an easier chance to act. Concerning the gunners, we have turrets and the Blue Riot defenses active act against any close hostile fighters. What further commands do you have, admiral?"
Daran looked at this... woman. "I'm sorry?" He asked. He assumed she was Darth Banis, especially from the way her commando's commander backed up, although wounded, his mind seemed shocked. "Lady Banis I assume?" He bowed his head. "Jacen, get that padawan trained or next time, I won't hesitate to kill her." He turned to the masked woman. "Lets go miss."
"Indeed. The nearby armada is too much- even for me" She verified and with a push of the force forced Daran to start walking, as she herself turned and walked. She looked over her shoulder another time, able to verify that they had safe distance from the descended troops. If they moved quickly, the Mandalorian troops would not have the time to install their vehicles and take on the hunt. By foot they could, but with Banis potence, it would be a waste of troops. Not even the Mandalorians were that stupid.
"The Imperial Alliance has established a base not too far away a walk. Have you mastered the ability to cloak yourself, Daran?" She questioned. If he had, then their return to base would be done far safer. From what she had sensed, the only ones nearby whom could oppose any threat at short notice was two injured Jedi. They could not be foolish enough to take on a hunt against a rested Sith Lord. They would be safe now. Should be. Greed and impatience has claimed many victims in the past and could do so again "-and for the record, that was one padawan you should not have spared. It will haunt you"
(I always make it rain in the aftermath of battle it adds to the mood, also because, for the following battles, rain will be cool.)
Daran walked beside the Lady of the Sith, he couldn't even sense her. He shook his head. "The best I can do is hide my Force powers to the extent of a small amount, what a normal sapient being emitts." Daran replaced his lightsaber to his belt as a flash of blue closely followed by the first rumble of thunder, roiled the sky. Rain drops began to fall from the heavens, splashing the dried earth and the foilage around them.

"That level of power was not exactly what I had expected, considering your level of force" She told him and looked over her shoulder back from where she had grabbed Daran. So far, they did not seem to follow. She turned forward again and walked so lightly that her feet left no prints "-and yes, I am Darth Banis" she then extanded her hand, eyeing the drops of water impacting the palm of her hand "Rain is good. Will work in our advantage" she declared and watched the skies.

may be too late to say but the aldon is at the back of the imperial alliance/sith fleet nowwaiting for the support fleet.))

Satana and the wolves were laying down, Satana now sitting on her butt, all looking wide eyes at Juno. Their hair ad fur was plastured back from the shock, Satana's sticking straight out behind her. "Whoah... Juno... That... was frickin' awesome! Geeze kid... My god.." She laughed wearily, trying to hid her fear behind her laugh. Wearily she pushed herself to her feet and made her way over to corran, helping him to his feet, then over to Jacen, ripping off a piece of her pants and using it to make a sling for his arm. "You ok love?"
*ahem* big eh

Darth Banis sidestepped, and in a spin dodged the shots by the airspeeders. She turned then to Jacen and Corran, watching them ignite their sabers "Even if I surrender, you could never keep me. You lack the means" she declared, and with a single spin she first launched Daran out of the battlefield in the directions of the base "Go" she ordered mentally "Run". She then smashed her fists together and with a massive pulse did she send out a force repulse, whirling everyone nearby- including Corran and Jacen- before sending the present troopers, present trees and present rocks and bushes into the whirl and flung them all out of range for rifle and saber throw. A fifty meter radius was completely cleared of all movable objects and people. The soldiers flew even longer by the sudden repulse, and the ships that floated above them was one and the other also caught in the repulse, and if not, in the flying objects that scattered.
She thought about what he said. The fact that he considered it stupid was proof enough that the man was not that experienced with warfare, or not with too clever advesarys. Considering her late arrival, the move she did was the strategically most efficient move she would get in a long time. The Jedi being injured, and the troops having not yet had the time to establish, as well as the disoriented attack by the padawan. It all cried out 'move in'. The fact that he took on the hunt was on the other hand a move that could cost him dearly. Injured, and having to work in offense against a Sith Lord in defense in a forest region during rain was speaking far more in Banis advantage than Jacen's, even with his numbers.
"Run to the base as fast as force carry you. Run for reinforcement. I will catch up" she mentally demanded from Daran, and then started moving her hands. Where the soldiers had been launched back, she with focus and some effort started breaking the trees out of their roots and made them crash down towards the survivors, those whom had not died at impact against tree or similar by the repulse.
She then yelled out "For the sake of your men, Jacen, stand down" knowing that both Jacen and the other Jedi did survive the repulse. She placed herself in focus and a defensive position, not yet having drawn lightsaber.
The Barbette heavy turbolaser cannons opened fire on the assault craft as they setted down on Endors surface. 24 powerfull beams superheated the atosphere, oxidizing the rain clouds and ceating a massive sonic boom.
***
The sonic boom sounded like thunder to Daran as he stopped his forced run turned and started to wait for Banis. 'What now-' His mental thoughts were interupted as the first powerful beam struck the planet.
***
The beam hit the ground near the Mandalore's landing stage as the rain fell, creating mud. The massive beam absorbed the ground literally, and disapated into the earth. Moments later, the ground, superheated with radiation from the blast, erupted in a thermal nuclear explosion, sending a huge cloud of superheated, mud, air and dust up as a blast wave flatened everything in a three click radius. The dust settled and in its place was a gaping crater oozing with molten rock. The rain continued to fall, evaorating in the air as it neared the crater. 23 more shots struck the planet, completely obliterating the landing zone and the surrounding forest. Radioactive fires began to spread, fed by the falling rain creating steaming lumps of ground and huge crators. The shock wave coursed through the ground as the dust plumes, fire waves, and the molten rock rose into the air.
***
Daran had seen the huge green beams burn trough the atmosphere and soon felt its preasence from both the after shocks, the sonic booms and the boiling rain falling on his skin. He began running, a Force dash, back to the engagement. 'Banis?' He asked mentally.
***
Juion held up his hand. "Cease fire, we are out of range."
The Dark Blade's orbit and the planets spin, took the war-ship beyond the targeted zone. To even send reinforcements to the established base would require them to complete a full orbit of the planet or to turn around. Either way, they would have to wait.
Juion turned to his gunners. "Prepare to fire at will. Helm, take us into weapons range of the Mandalore fleet."
"Oya manda!" A crew member shouted back.
The blast caught even Banis by surprise and she covered her face with her arms, but as the boiling rain started falling over the field she raised her hands and created a barrier trough the force, protecting herself from the heated scraps that rained down. She then started backing away from the scene, taking her repulse and the raining scraps as advantage of escape. She then turned to hear Daran's calling "I told you to run!" she with a frustrated tone uttered to Daran. She then brought one lightsaber to her hand and as it ignited, she slashed a tree. She tipped it over with a push trough the force and as it impacted, she turned and started running.
"There is nothing more we need to do here" she declared and she physically pushed Daran to run in the same direction as she did.
