Marvel crosses Star Wars, and everyone attacks the galaxy
Chapter 73: Ryloth Aerial Battle 2
In space, War Machine heard the order as he approached one of the Dreadnought's main weapons.
"Bomber squad, destroy that laser cannon, then we retreat."
The Y-wing bombers unleashed proton torpedoes that knocked out the dreadnought's turbolaser cannons.
"Well done, Shadow Squadron," War Machine praised, just as several Bountiful-class frigates emerged from hyperspace.
Shadow Squadron quickly spread out and headed for their own defense circle, while the droid starfighters began to pursue them.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, War Machine saw a violent explosion on the back of the dreadnought they had been aiming at, and the ship was now listing.
Aboard the Endurance, Cap and Anakin grinned, the Dreadnought at least destroyed before the Separatist reinforcements could arrive.
"Ahsoka, where are you?" Anakin asked worriedly when he noticed she hadn't returned.
"Master, we are trapped and at risk of being shot down," Ahsoka admitted, desperately trying to avoid the attacks of the Rookery Hook-class battleship.
Anakin clenched his fists at this, but Cap acted quickly.
"Sam, Rhodes, did you hear that?" Captain America asked.
Falcon said, "Hold on, Ahsoka, we'll be right there."
Then he quickly assigned the task: "Torrent V-19, follow me. Rhodes, you cover the back."
Falcon led a dozen V-12s toward Ahsoka's squadron, which was frantically fighting and dodging the incoming CIS starfighters and frigates.
At this time, Obi-Wan and Aayla Secura's fleet also arrived. Anakin watched with relief as the newly arrived Republic fleet began to fire on the blockade.
Martuk was now concerned as several of the Bountiful frigates began to take heavy damage, while the other four dreadnoughts opened fire on the new Republic enemies. Another Rookery Hook-class battleship also began to come under attack.
In terms of firepower, the two sides were evenly matched. But Captain Martuk knew well that while the Republic did not usually deploy as many ships as the CIS, their superior firepower made up for the difference in numbers. The two sides had fought countless times in the past few months, and the Republic fleet was generally smaller in number but better in firepower, while the CIS simply relied on the number of ships.
With the arrival of two Republic fleets, the battle has entered a fierce stage.
Ahsoka has now joined Falcon and War Machine's squadron as they take on the flagship of a Rookery Hook-class battleship.
However, the Rookery Hook-class battleship's shields could not be penetrated, and several fighters from Ahsoka's squadron were destroyed in the process.
Falcon led his Y-wing team in firing proton torpedoes and dropping ion bombs. The shield was rapidly weakening, but several more Republic starfighters were shot down.
To make matters worse, War Machine was beginning to be surrounded by vulture robots on all sides. He flew over the hangar of the Rookery Hook-class battleship and suddenly had a crazy idea.
"Tap, do you think you can analyze a flight path to the center of the ship?" War Machine asked.
"Right away, comrade."
"Rhodes," Falcon interjected, "please don't tell me you're doing what I think you are doing."
"I'm afraid so." War Machine said with a smile.
"What are you talking about?" Ahsoka asked over the comms.
"Ahsoka, prepare to bomb." War Machine said confidently, repositioning himself and flying directly to the hangar with all the vulture droids chasing him. His fighter was directly hit by the starfighter following behind him.
"Damn it." War Machine ejected and flew into space, dropping a guided bomb on the fighter he was piloting. He turned around and used his enhanced armor strength to kick the fighter into the oncoming group of Separatist starfighters, then turned and flew directly into the hangar of the Rookery Hook-class battleship.
"He just—"
Before Falcon could answer Ahsoka, he asked, "Are you okay, Rhodes?"
"Very good." War Machine landed in the hangar bay and immediately unleashed his built-in arsenal of weapons upon all the unsuspecting droids.
Crouching down, War Machine saw the wreckage of the ship that had blown up behind him fly directly into the hangar, crashing into many of the ships and other control panels, causing many of the droids to panic.
"Be prepared to pick me up when I'm done with my mission."
The War Machine activated its thrusters and flew forward at full speed, deep into the battleship and conducting a sweep.
Inside the ship's cockpit, Martuk was told that the interior of the ship was under attack.
"What does this mean?!" Martuk shouted.
"Looks like we have an intruder, sir," one of the droids said, pulling up footage of a war machine flying past the ship at top speed.
Martuk was stunned, unsure of what he had seen.
On the Endurance, Captain America contacted his fellow Avengers: "Are you okay in there, Rhodes?"
"I'm fine, Captain," War Machine replied, punching a vulture robot.
At this point, he reached the center of the spacecraft and said to himself, "Where is the core of this ship?"
On the bridge of the Rookery Hook-class battleship, Martuk was horrified when he saw the video. After learning the layout of the ship, he quickly realized where the Republic robot might go and shouted, "Destroy it before it kills us all!"
The war machine flew unimpeded, and he knew he only had one chance, so he had no choice but to use more powerful weapons. He raised his arm, aimed the micro-missile at the core of the battleship, and then fired directly at the target.
War Machine pushed his thrusters, away from the explosion, and said over the comms, "Falcon, come in through the other hangar entrance."
Then, he concentrated on shuttling through the falling debris, the explosions behind him growing louder and louder. Finally, with the shock wave of the explosion, he escaped and flew into the vast space.
"Rhodes!" Falcon called over the comms. "Behind you."
"Tony's biggest worry after the Battle of New York..."
"Yes, enough to create Ultron," said Falcon.
The Jedi Knights all showed puzzled expressions, wondering who or what this Ultron was. When Anakin mentioned this Ultron, he noticed that Captain America's face was quite grim.
Martuk, who had been in a state of panic, asked impatiently, "What is the state of the ship?"
"Our shields and engines are down," his command droid replied.
Meanwhile, Ahsoka's Blue Squadron was tearing through large groups of Vulture and Hyena starfighters.
The CIS blockade was gradually weakened by the continuous onslaught of the Republic fleet.
"Ahsoka," Anakin said, contacting her through the comms. "If you take that ship, they will be leaderless."
The Rookery Hook-class battleship was left in ruins after all of Blue Squadron's fighters fired a large number of ion torpedoes at its bridge.
Martuk struggled to regain his footing and said, "I need to get out of here."
On the Endurance, Anakin watched with great pride as the Rookery Hook-class battleship began to break apart and explode, for this final attack was done by his apprentice Ahsoka.
"Looks like we can finish the battle before Master Windu arrives," Captain America said, his eyes always alert.
"This is Blue Squadron." Ahsoka's tired voice came over the communicator, "Everyone, go home."
Inside the hangar, the different squadrons began to land. They were cheered on by the clone troopers, all of whom congratulated them.
"Master Skywalker," Admiral Yularen's voice came over the communicator. "Master Windu is coming with his fleet."
"I heard you, Admiral," Anakin responded, turning to look at Captain America, "From one battle to the next. Now, it's time to begin Phase Two."
Captain America simply nodded and stood up to follow Anakin, knowing that the battle to liberate Rylos had only just begun.
