The droids watched, as on the far end of the system known as the republic sent in several ships. Several Jedi were with the ships, along with space marines, a small squad, with a Sargent of the Blades of Flames, a massive man in dark blue armor, covered by a red tabard. A sword sheathed on his hip, his hand resting on the hilt. With him were 4 marines. They all had no markings on their armor, with him being the only uniquely marked marine, having a red hand, and a red mark across it's face, crossing the eyes.
"Our war begins," General Daakman Barrek." said, having the fleet advance towards the world of Hypori.
-hours later-
"We need immediate evac from Hypori, Our forces are completely destroyed! Only a few of us left, a new droid General. He's unstoppable, general Grievous is hunting us. Can't hold out for long!" Daakman Barrek said, as he deflected blaster bolts.
Suddenly he was attacked, dropping his communicator, it was stepped on and stopped transmitting. Super battle droids marched and surrounded the downed Assault ship continually blasting it as they got closer and closer, before stopping. The survivors, scattered as they were, ran deeper into the crash site. Gathering in the main body of the crash.
The marines stayed inside, having gotten to the area first, and did an ammo check. The marines exchanged clips, as some loaded clips. They spoke with using only their radios. As everyone had gathered, the marines had to accept they were sheltering with the jedi.
"He is unstoppable." the creature known as K'kruhk said.
"Never have we been out manuvered by droids. His strategy is without flaw" Shaak ti said, panting.
"He is a machine. We do not have enough bullets to break through, our munitions and explosives would run dry before we broke through." the Sargeant, who everyone just referred to as "Red" said.
"This is the end, we're all doomed." Sha'a Gi said.
"Our predicament is Dire, but do not despair. Focus. We are Jedi." Ki-Adi-Mundi said.
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
"Jedi!"
Everyone took positions, watching an approach. The marines prepared, loading full clips, and walking to a slit, crouching to watch an approach.
"You are surrounded, your army decimated, make peace with your force now, for this is your final hour. As for the astartes, make peace with what ever you pray to, for you shall not leave here alive. But know this, that I, general Grievous, am not without mercy I will grant you a warrior's death. Prepare." the voice said.
As the voice faded out, a new noise faded in, mechanical steps, it was a single creature, approaching, alone.
"That noise." Shaak Ti said.
"He is coming alone." Ki-Adi-Mundi said.
"We can't face him!" Sha'a Gi said, sweating.
"We must try." the tall headed alien said.
"It's close, but where?" Tarr Seirr said.
"It's all around us." Sha'a Gi said.
"Calm yourselves." Ki-Adi-Mundi said.
The noise grew louder, as it the machine would turn the corner, that now every marine had their gun trained on.
"Steady." He said, sweat dripping from his body.
Sha'a Gi finally broke, screaming a battle cry and rushing out of the hull, chased by Ki-Adi-Mundi. As the human jedi left the doorway, he was crushed by a massive machine with a white cape. It rose from it's crouched position, and exposed it's body, as metal moved against metal, showing it's battle form, and leapt up, into the darkness once more.
