"Form up. Shadow, take out those shields!" Skywalker said over an open channel.
"Yes, sir." A clone said. "Lets go, Hexx!" The two Y-Wings sped forward, aiming for the port side hangar shield generator. "I've got a Vulture on me!" One Clone shouted. Their tail gunner opened fire, ripping apart the droid fighter. The fighter had still managed to damage them though. "Stabilizers out, I cant control it!" The clone shouted, before crashing into the side of the ship. The other pilot let loose his proton torpedoes, and broke off to return to the Resolute. "Good luck, sir." The pilot said. Crates, vehicles and droids were being sucked out of the starship's now open hangar. "Were, cutting it a little close." He managed to say before crashing into the hangar floor. He leaped out of his craft, igniting his blue saber to face the droid onslaught.

“To bad these are only droids…” She sighed. “I would have a lot more fun playing with them if I could only see their emotions. I love it.” She sat back in her chair and let out a giggle to herself as the CIS ship right off the port side was ripped in two by the Indulgence’s blade. The Indulgence had its eyes set on the Lucrehulk Battleships believing them to house living species rather than just droids.
“Lets face it head on. Jam the bow right in between the space where the hangers are. We can blast the shield generators to kingdom come and board it. I am not interested in any droids!” She yelled as she stood from her chair. The Indulgence flew past several CIS frigates and destroyers only crippling them slightly. The rear deck gun behind the bridge tower fired at the vessels the Indulgence left behind. As the Indulgence got closer to the Lucrehulk, the open space looked smaller and smaller. She ordered the Indulgence to fire the portside boosters and shift the ship from the horizontal plane to the vertical so that the port side blade was facing down and in position to slice the core and the rear in half. However, she didn’t expect a ship of this caliber to be armed to the teeth on heavy turbo lasers, and shielding as powerful as her own, if not stronger.
“Yuleran, send me any schematics you have on this enemy cruiser! I want to bring it to its knees!” She ordered over the comms system. The Indulgence began to open fire on the CIS Lucrehulk. They fired the forward deck guns continuously. The Particle accelerators were packing a punch, but not enough. “Fire Plasma based weaponry, if their shields are anything like ours, that will pack more of a punch than laser or PACs.” She ordered.
Lex would continue to lay on her platform with her eyes closed she indulged in the sensations of battle. The formidable foe able to stand against her was a treat to her, an Indulgence. Many in the Kurkairian fleet would argue about the ships name and why it was given the name by Klara, but Lex understands why it was given to her.

Siegmeyer's transport was the very next thing to arrive into the hanger, the back door of it quickly swing down to let the troopers leave. "Move, move, everything dead, aside from Skywalker, now." Siegmeyer ordered, as he watched all of his men file out of the ship, aside from the two engineers, who had been instructed to stay with Siegmeyer, to avoid death. "Hmm, a commander wielding a blade today? Why don't I follow the trend." He said with a slight smirk, as he drew his plasma katana, and a single M1911 which he cherished so dearly.
His own men had already opened fire onto whatever droids were in the hangar, that posed a threat, various plasma, and lead shots easily ripping the metal machines apart. It wouldn't be too long before everything was cleared out from the area, after all, twenty-three guns firing at once from skilled human troopers. Was just as good as 200 guns from droids.

Anakin finished off the remaining droids, having taken about half of them out himself. The blown open hangar shield was now replaced with an emergency blast door that had slid across. Their only exit would be the other side of the hangar, the starboard side. "Artoo, find out where they're keeping the general." Skywalker said. The little blue and white droid rolled over, plugging into an outlet in the wall. It beeped a couple times, then produced a hologram. "Cell block B, cell 2." Skywalker said. "Good job Artoo, stay here and help with the ships." The stubby robot replied with a couple of beeps, then rolled back toward the crashed starfighter. Anakin walked over to Siegmeyer. "The general is around the center of the ship, in cell block B, cell 2." He hesitated a moment. "Be careful though, I sense Count Dooku, and Ventress." (He probably shared info like that while we were traveling.)
Yuleran quickly sent a schematic over to Klara, before the Resolute took a couple hits from a pair of Munificent Frigates. She was only scarred though. And began releasing their own lasers on the duo.

"So two idiots, who likely only have blades for show. Difference is they don't realize I play dirty." Siegmeyer said with a slight smirk, listening as finally all fire ceased within the hangar. "Well I don't know what you plan on doing, however I'll have my men mobilized, with me, and retrieving your General in due time." With that said, he put in a request to have all schematics of the ship pulled from the droid, that had located the target they were trying to save. "Alright men, fall in behind me, engineers fall in behind the infantry."
Within less than two minutes, Siegmeyer and his troopers were leaving. All of the infantry followed closely behind Siegmeyer, being as he would bet he one who had to lead them to the area where the VIP was.

Skywalker walked next to Siegmeyer as they made their way down the corridors. "I know what you're like." Skywalker said. "And you'll die if you try going up against Dooku. He's too powerful, even for me."

"Trust me, I can hold my own. I've taken on whole platoons of elite swordsman, and killed everyone last one of them. With only my blade, but with a pistol in my hand, he will die." Siegmeyer said with a light chuckle as he thought back to that very day, for now he kept a quick pace, blade drawn at his side. "How long before we have to deal with these petty leader, who hide behind droids?"

"He's no mere swordsmen..." Anakin replied quietly. He clenched his right hand into a fist, and quickened his pace down the hall, ending the conversation.
As the group took a left at a four way intersection, and Skywalker stopped dead center of the hall. Ventress stood just opposite him down the corridor. He noticed another lightsaber on her belt, Garen's. "Ah, young Skywalker. It seems you forgot to bring me your little pet. I would have enjoyed killing her. But those will do." The assassin said, her voice like venom seeping into the air.
"You wont get away this time." Anakin said, igniting his blade.
"How wrong you are." Ventress replied, igniting her two sabers.
"Captain, get the general. I'll handle her." He didn't wait for a reply, and charged at Ventress. The two clashed blades, parries and attacks. A fury of red and blue. They locked blades, before Ventress moved to try to get the upper hand. Anakin managed to grab Garen's lightsaber off her belt in her attempt. He ignited it himself trading a couple more blows before tossing the blade down the hall at Siegmeyer. "Go!" Anakin yelled, and once again began to parry more strikes. Anakin managed to gain the upper hand, and Ventress retreated down a hall. But not before cutting the door controls as Skywalker pass through., cutting him off from Siegmeyer.
Two droidekas rolled down the hall behind Siegmeyer, in the hall opposite the one where Ventress and Anakin fought. They opened fire at their flank. From the hall that they fought, a squad of super battle droids appeared, firing at their front. From the way they came, two more droidekas set up and fired, covering another flank. Leaving only one hall clear.

"Engineers, and five of my infantry on me. I don't care who you are, first come, first serve. The rest of, stay and try not to get shot up, I don't have the time, or money to make more suits of your armor." Siegmeyer said with a growl, as he picked up the blade that Skywalker had tossed his way. With that order done, he left behind eighteen of his soldiers to fight off the droids. Not sure of what the outcome would he, he simply charged blindly down the hallway with his men, being as it was the only one.
In the meantime the eighteen soldiers did rather well, blasting through a good chunk of the droids, due to the heavy troopers bringing one Ragnarok launcher, and two Ripper HMG's. As for the infantry, among them the multitude of assault rifles, sub-machine guns, and shotguns proved valuable in holding ground. However heavy causalities were still suffered, taking down eight of the elite troopers, and leaving ten wounded.

Blast doors closed on the hall that Siegmeyer ran down, leading him to one open door. Inside was a large circular room, almost like an arena of sorts. In the middle, sat Count Dooku, with his eyes closed. Meditating no doubt. "Your arrogance will get you killed, boy. For once, Skywalker was right. I am no mere swordsman." Dooku calmly stood. "He was a fool to chase after Ventress, no doubt wanting revenge. As you are a fool for siding with him." The Count grinned slightly, but it was almost impossible to see. "I will give you a choice, join my Separatist Alliance and order your ships to attack the Republic's. Or, die." He waved a hand, closing the door behind them. "Choose wisely, Captain."
Anakin had followed Ventress to the Reactor room. The two viciously attacked each other. Still no one was gaining an upper hand. "You can not help your friends, Skywalker! Their fate will be the same as yours!" She hissed as they locked blades.

"Hmm, join some prick, who likely won't pay me, and hides behind robotic piece of scrap. Or kill you? Why would I side with someone so weak?" Siegmeyer replied, taking his helmet off, he tossed it aside. Letting it roll across the floor, "I like to let my victims, see the face of their killer." He said with chuckle following soon after, as he twirled his plasma katana around, and then secondly drew the lightsaber, turning the blade on quickly. "Only one condition. I will use no weapons, aside from my blades. In return, you will use no trickery, no magic, nothing of the sort, aside from your blade. My men will not interfere"

Dooku gave a slight chuckle. "You want an honorable fight? Yet you have said before that you fight dirty to get what you want." A hologram popped up, between the two. It was of Anakin and Siegmeyer. "-who likely only have blades for show. Difference is they don't realize I play dirty." The recording of Siegmeyer repeated. The hologram then disappeared. "I am no fool. I can sense the deception you use, the hatred you possess." Dooku closed his eyes a moment, as if reflecting on a thought. "You are a slave to her you know. Your precious priestess only uses you. You use none of your gifts to break free." He opened his eyes. And stared into Siegmeyer's. "You rule your ship through fear, and oppression. A trait I admire really. Such a man like you could have been of use to me." He grinned slightly once more. "If it was money you wanted, you could have had mountains of it." He sighed in slight defeat however. "A shame you chose how you did. No matter." The count raised one hand, and threw Siegmeyer into a wall. He pinned him there, sitting two feet above the ground. Before any could react he raised another hand at the men still standing near the door. Electricity arched toward them, chaining over them all. Screams of pain and agony drowned out the Count's sadistic laughs as he killed them without mercy. Once all screaming had stopped he huffed in slight annoyance. "Pathetic." He walked closer to Siegmeyer, still pinned on the wall. "You're a fool. A fool for coming here, and a fool for challenging me." He tightened his magic-like grip on Siegmeyer. "Now you will pay for that foolishness." Electricity flew from his fingertips and arched over the mercenaries armor and flesh. Dooku simply laughed at the pain he inflicted.

Her hunch was correct; the shielding was made up of the same compounds as her own. The plasma ended up shredding through. She gave the command to launch all fighters and bombers which would cover the landing parties. As the landing craft and few fighters fought their way into the hangers on both sides, the plan was to meet in the center disable the engines and make way to the central core. The Indulgence has enough men on board to start a planetary assault, meaning the Lucrehulk would not stand a chance against the military power being unleashed inside its own hull. After minutes, the gun fire from the Lucrehulk seized.
“Ma’am we have control of the ship’s weaponry, You may start your landing.” Roh said over the encrypted comm network to the Indulgence. She walked off deck and into a landing craft. Her outfit changed, into a dark red jumpsuit and Platinum plast breast, torso, shin, thigh, shoulder and forearm plates, all for polished for combat. Her hood was up and sword drawn, one that resembled the Elites energy sword, only hers was tento styled. They landed in the hanger and she made her way to the bridge. Before reaching it however, she found that her forces were pinned down in the corridors by shielded, tri legged, duel blastered brown colored droids that could roll across the floor in a heartbeat.
“Hold back Priestess, we can’t have you here. It’s not safe.” Roh said holding her back. She noticed the creatures on the bridge seemed overly confident of their droids by leaving the blast door still open, only leaving these droids between them and Klara’s forces. She would walk out into the corridor, standing in the middle of it as laser fire surrounded her. The polished plates shining in the light as the blade gave off its unique orange luster, each priestess having her own color. Under that red hood, only her red glowing eyes could be seen as the little girl darted towards the bridge faster than anyone thought was possible. She darted past the droids, while the Neimoidian’s on the bridge panicked and scrambled for the blast doors. Unfortunately they were to slow for her Vampyrial blood. She held the blade to the throat of who appeared to be the commander, “This ship is mine, that is if you want to live.” She stated as her hood would fall off and her red eyes mesmerizing the poor Neimoidian. Being the coward that Neimoidians usually are, he agreed and commanded the droids to stand down. Klara’s men then blasted the droids to kingdom come with PAG’s the equivalence of rocket launchers.
“Now, now, you can be my pretty little pet by connecting me to your ex master.” She said with a commanding yet southing tone. If one didn’t know any better, they’d say she was using mind trick of the force. The Neimoidian pressed the up link which would connect to dooku’s chambers. The uplink was established and standing infront of Dooku on his screen was the Neimoidian command team and Klara, Her sword was out of sight, and her hood was down to reveal her self entirely. “Hello, Count, your pets have provided me with your title Heh heh. But I hear you are holding open try outs to your military forces… I would love to join you and your regime…” She paused, “But what will I get? I kind of want a few things, First the release of my pet Seigmeyer, in trade I’ll give you these worthless cowards. Second, I want this ship… Oh wait, this is mine regardless. I think I will name it… Sophie, yes a common name for a Dog on my planet, you know why? Cause this is my bitch. So how about it? You want strong allies? Well here I am! What reason would you have to deny otherwise my Indulgence will only consume your fleet once her true power is unleashed….” She started walking towards the command chair of the now named “Sophie.” She was obviously trying to mock Dooku like the child she was, yet she seemed serious about joining him… depending on what he could offer her.
The indulgence on the other hand kept in contact with the Resolute, “Captain Yularen, the Indulgence has finished with this Lucrehulk and we moving to engage the next one.” Lex said over the encrypted comms to the Resolute.

Dooku calmly took out his personal Holoprojector, and stopped electrocuting Siegmeyer. He listened to the child being projected and was silent for a about a minute before replying. "You have failed me for the last time Admiral. Now you shall face the repercussions." He said to the Neimoidian Admiral. "Do not attempt to fool me, child. I am certain that if I were to give your Captain over, you would turn on me with haste. Your deal with the Republic will not last however. They are as corrupt and treacherous as they have made me appear. The time will come when you are faced against them, and not me. When that day comes, remember that you have already made enemies with me as well." He clicked off the device, slipping it back into his robes. He threw Siegmeyer into another wall before letting him drop to the floor.

"You fucking bastard..." Siegmeyer growled lowly, as he got up off the floor again, despite the fact his armor had turned various different shades, due to the amount of heat the electricity had given off. For the most part, Siegmeyer was still alive thanks to the shielding his gear carried. "You know what, you're damn right I don't fight fair." He muttered under his breath, as he picked up his helmet off the ground, being as it was ironically pressed against the wall he had been thrown into. "The difference is, I will die with honor if I have to."
From under his helmet, Siegmeyer grinned joyfully, as he kicked in made sure to kick in every remaining system his armor had left, "I am no one's pet. I am a soldier, a leader, and servant of my priestess. Nothing more. You on the other hand, are nothing more, but a worm, that needs to be crushed. Now then, I don't care if you use your magic, but if you are so powerful, why do you always throw me away in fear?" Siegmeyer taunted, raising both his arms in front of him, and towards Dooku. Within a split second, flames left from both his gauntlets.
