Marvel crosses Star Wars, and everyone attacks the galaxy
Chapter 171 Battle of Geonosis 3
General Mundy clung to his seatbelt as the gunboat was hit by anti-aircraft shells.
Commander Bakara and Jet stood with a dozen other clones as they headed to Landing Site Bravo, the largest of the three targeted droid factories and the site of the largest concentration of forces.
The Galactic Marines, led by Mundi, Jet and Bakara, were born for battle, and the addition of Di and the 71st Legion gave people a sense of overwhelming the robots.
As they began their descent, they encountered heavy artillery fire.
"We will be picked off one by one if we stay in the air, sir," Commander Jeter said.
“But we’re not even close to the landing zone yet,” Munday countered.
"Now, the only thing we can do is land quickly. The AT-RT leads and we follow closely behind," Bakkara said rudely.
"We can help," Quicksilver chimed in from his gunboat along with Dee, Captain Keely, and Sergeant Grit. "Let's get down there now, or we'll all get blown up into the sky."
"We will gain a foothold on the ground, Mundi," De Emma Gunda added, causing the Celian Jedi to acquiesce and request the landing sequence to begin.
Soon, nearly dozens of gunships landed on the surface of Geonosis.
Bakara began to separate from the 21st and Killie while Dee, Commander Jeter, and Mundy reunited to get a bird's eye view of their target base.
"The Geonosians have set up fortifications here." Jet pointed to several ridges that had been hollowed out, with the target factory located between two rock formations in the middle. "We can move between the ridges, but they will undoubtedly swarm us like a swarm of insects.
"My corps and I will handle those ridges." Dee said. "Mundy, you and the 21st Corps will be responsible for the main attack on the factory.
"Okay, let's get started."
As the 21st and 71st began their march to their intended droid factory, Anakin, Cap, Ahsoka, and Spider-Man were running across the barren wasteland of Geonosis, constantly harassed by the Geonosians. There was an area around them that was more like hills, with deep craters, which the clones used as cover.
"Let's try it here, Bly," Rex said over his comms. "The damn bugs are everywhere, they keep blocking our way."
"Rex! Aayla, can you send some backup to get us out of here?" Anakin shouted at him, deflecting the blaster beams left and right.
"I don't think so sir. Bligh says they are in full battle with the AT-RT force leading the attack," Rex informed regretfully.
"Okay. Looks like we'll have to catch up the hard way. Captain America grunted, grabbed a Geonosian's leg, and threw it with all his might towards another flying insect in the sky.
Spider-Man uses flying insects as a means of swinging himself around, though with limited success as he has to make sure he can swing safely around the battlefield.
“This is getting ridiculous." Ahsoka grunted, blocking more blaster fire. "At this rate we'll never catch up to Aayla and the others.
"There's no time. Rex, Steve, we need to move. Now. Together. We need to set up the turrets and make a breakthrough for the front.
"Yes, sir."
"Yes. Peter, Ahsoka is sticking behind us, helping to keep everyone safe. We don't want to lose anyone in the war.
"You go ahead, Captain." Spider-Man said firmly. He looked at Ahsoka, who gave him a firm look, and they nodded to each other.
"The troops are ready, gentlemen," Rex shouted.
"Now! Go, go, go!
Anakin and Cap dashed forward, Cap throwing his shield first and then getting behind Anakin, who blocked multiple blaster beams.
Spider-Man thought instinctively as he webbed the boulder, which was about half his size, and swung it hard, sending it straight into a group of Geonosians.
The clone troopers cheered for this, they quickened their pace and ran towards the bugs with guns in hand.
Far ahead of them were the rest of the 501st and 327th Legions, deep into the rocky formations of the droid base they were attacking.
Black Widow and Clone Troopers Jesse, Kix, Flash, and a dozen others took cover behind a rock while Aayla was at the front with Commander Bly at her side.
Ayla sliced through several B1 droids, and Bligh took down two to her left.
"We are making progress, General," Bligh informed.
"Yes, but Skywalker and Rogers aren't here yet. Aayla grunted. "And we lost too many men in the advance.
"Maybe Falcon or War Machine can help us." Black Widow called out to Aayla from behind cover, firing at a small group of droids.
"Maybe." Ella quickly contacted the two. "Colonel Rhodes, Lieutenant Wilson, can you hear me? Can you bomb us here?
"We're a bit busy right now," War Machine grunted from his starfighter.
He was currently hunting down a group of Geonosian warriors that were attacking one of the Hunters. War Machine flew over the Hunter's hangar bay and waited until they were angled upwards before opening fire and shooting down two before he set his sights on the last one he was targeting.
"Colonel Rhodes!" the broadside chimed in. "The enemy's vulture is on your tail!"
War Machine looked behind him and saw that there was indeed a Vulture chasing him in the air, along with two other Vulture robots.
"Focus on the other enemy planes in the air, broadsides," War Machine ordered.
"But sir——"
"I'll be fine," War Machine said, adjusting his thrusters. "You need to keep Shadow Squadron on the mission."
Broadside reluctantly turned his Y-wing away from the Colonel's direction and refocused on preventing the Geonosian fighters from attacking their ground forces.
Meanwhile, War Machine began guiding the three Vulture droids down to the planet's surface, picking up speed and shimmying to prevent the droids from landing a clean hit on him.
He kept glancing back at the robot on his tail, trying not to get disoriented.
The three Vulture droids continued to pursue the Avengers, with one of the droids' red eyes flashing for a moment before veering off course.
The two remaining pursuers began to attack him, increasing their blaster fire. As the two pursuers approached, War Machine began to count down the seconds.
War Machine's head snapped and roared in the direction of the Tap mark, his eyes widening as he saw a vulture droid heading straight for his ship not a few meters away, his eyes widening with only one goal in mind. In less than five seconds, War Machine pushed open the canopy of his fighter and his helmet snapped shut.
He was violently pulled aside as the vulture droid slammed into his starfighter. Thankfully, he was able to get away from his ship and his thrusters fired in time for both ships to explode into thousands of burning pieces.
"What the hell is that?!" War Machine yelled.
"I don't know, comrade, but it seems that this vulture robot is determined to die."
"Damn Kamikazes," War Machine muttered, his sensors beeping in warning. Looking up, he saw two more vulture droids flying straight at him.
Instead of flying in the opposite direction, War Machine had his thrusters firing rockets at them at full speed.
As his armor proved more durable, and gave him significantly more strength, War Machine's hands reached out and grabbed the nearest Vulture robot by the head. Using his thrusters, momentum, and strength, he spun at full speed, throwing the corkscrew Vulture robot into another robot.
Once both were properly dealt with, War Machine's thrusters activated again and he took to the air, his shoulder-mounted cannons beginning to fire at every Vulture Droid and Geonos Fighter that passed by, while War Machine punched and kicked in mid-air, knocking back anyone that came within range.
War Machine stopped in mid-flight, and Ayla's voice came over the comms.
“I’m General Secura, we’re losing men here and we need air support now!
Guided by Tap, the War Machine flew towards the front lines of the 501st and 327th Legion.
