Night arrived on Coruscant, but that rarely would drive Coruscant to be ackwardly silent. Lights of every block, illuminations of buildlings were all but almost dim. The only light that flickered once in a while was particular lightsaber hilts resonating from the Jedi temple. Sometimes one would almost look like a flash of thunder across the sky on a rainy day. Clearly this was worse than thunder across the sky....
The body count of dead clone troopers were countless. The smell of burnt flesh with melted body armour (plastic ?
) filled the air. It was almost unbearable to the Jedi. However, they needed to fight on. The battle for suvival almost was at an end. Jedi or not, everyone gives in to fatigue and most jedi's had fought to their last strength, only to be rewarded by the laser bolt of death and defeat. It was clearly an impossible scenerio to win. Yet, the Jedi did not show despair.
Kindreth marked another clone trooper to the ground.
"I.....I..can't remember how many i've ki-....killed..."
He striked another one down. Just a few feet away were the other two Jedi Knights, Jade and Mara.
"I too........ Master" replied Mara. Clearly Kindreth and Mara were out of breath from the fighting. There focus were beginning to wane.
"I am at 749 master" the Asatanian native replied. Jade was still at her peak. Her atheletism was incredible. Part of the reason the three Jedi have not been compromised was solely the reason of her. Jade kept the battle in their direction.
The bodies of clone troopers created small pillars and hills for the Jedi to dodge. The battleground shifted towards the jedi. Than, the three noticed fewer and fewer clone troopers were attacking.
"Master-"
"I know Jade." As Kindreth knew what Jade was going to say. The remaining clones surrounding the remaining three Jedi. Their rifles pointed upwards, making no mistake they were hostile. They were in a saluting stance, which only made it a little more uncomfortable for the two Jedi and Kindreth.
"I have a bad feeling about this....." Kindreth Hastingly said.

"Lock turbo lasers on the adjacent shield generator and keep going until that blasted metal is gone!" Peicubo ordered.
The fire crew stations from the port side all acknowledged the order.
Streams of turbolaser fire were exchanged between the flagship initiator and the lead Imperial star destroyer. The dreadnaught was definitely outmatched and Peicubo knew he had to buy time for the rest of the fleet to hyperspace out of here.
"Send secondary power to the shields Skyfire and tell them to give me every bit of it."
Skyfire saluted and headed towards the engine room. The ship shook violently as another photon torpedo smashed into the hanger bay. Luckily shields were still holding.
Peicubo grabbed a headset from one of the near crewmates. "I want those ties brought down into space dust, get our fighters to take some Heat off of our fleet!"
"Scramble fighters, I repeat, all Pilots to their fighters. This is not a drill." The comm repeated over the ship speakers.
Lezaro and Raivin ran down the hall that led to the Hanger bay where two Y-wings were waiting for them.
"Sweating Rai?" Lez asked as they were running down towards the Hanger.
"You want me to say yes Lez?" replied Rai.
Lez scoffed. "Heh, of course. Proves I'm just the more better."
Rai rolled his eyes. "Fine, what are the stakes this time? 50 to 1?"
Lez chuckled "Haha now your talking and I dont' mean any credits, its coruscant currency.
"Agreed"
The two separated but not until they knocked their helmets for good luck. The two fighters blasted off into the intense battle.
