Balto looked at the little pups. He almost started to cry. “How about Luke and Leia?”
Jenna shot him a look that could have made durasteel buckle.
“Okay maybe not.”
He looked at the pups again. One was red and white like Jenna and the other one was a grayish brown like Balto.
“How about Kodi for the boy and Alue for the girl?”
This time Jenna smiled. “Sounds good to me. I need to apologizeto you though.”
“What for?”
“I just realized that the middle of a war is not the best time to raise pups.”
“I think we can manage.” Balto had never been happier in his life.
Two days later, Balto, Jenna, Plo Koon, General Grievous and others were standing on the bridge. Grievous turned to one of the pilot droids and said “Prepare to take us into hyperspace. The Kasyyyk system.”
The droid nodded. “Roger, Roger.”
Balto still got chills when he heard the General talk. “Um, how long is it going to take us to reach Kasyyyk?”
Grievous turned to him and said “About 5 hours.”
Ulp. “That's it?”
Grievous started walking closer to him. “Is that a problem?”
“Oh, um, of course not. It's just a little sooner than I had expected. What exactly is our goal when we arrive?”
For the first time that Balto had heard, Grievous laughed. It was the most terrifying thing he ever heard.
“We do as much damage as we can, and when we take more damage than we care to have, we leave.”
“Sounds good to me.”
hours later)
One of the droids spoke up. “General we are coming out of hyperspace.”
Balto watched as the stars changed back into dots of light instead of streaks.
Grievous immediately began giving orders. “Raise shields, charge all weapon batteries. Heading 446.3”
“Heading 446.3. Roger,Roger.”
Balto looked out the viewport and saw the green planet of Kasyyyk floating peacefully in space. What floated around it was hideous.Nearly a dozen Vong warships were in orbit around the planet.
“Hmm. This was not expected.”
Balto wondered what Grievous meant. As if reading Balto's mind, Grievous pointed at something. Balto saw what he was pointing at, and his heart stopped beating. There was a massive Vong vessel sitting there.
Plo Koon grumbled. “Worldship. Those things are almost the size of a Super Star Destroyer.”
Balto was beginning to have second thoughts about this. He now had two pups and he didn't really want to die. “Um, should we just turn around and do this another day?”
Grievous looked at Balto. But he spoke to one of the battle droids. “Engage the enemy fleet. Now.”
Balto really didn't like Grievous right now. The ship accelerated toward the Vong. Balto watched sadly as the Vong ships started turning towards them.
Grievous was still giving orders. “Fire low power, rapid shot lasers. When they get thru the dovin basels fire full blast.”
All at once, hundreds of red laser bolts shot at the nearest Vong battleship. And the Vong, fired back.
The battle was joined.
“Look over there!” Balto shouted.
Grievous looked at what Balto was pointing at. A nearby battleship had launched several coralskippers. And several more squadrons were on their way.
“I may not have been in the army for very long, but I know that fighters can wreak havoc on a battleship. We can't target them!”
Grievous turned to Balto and said “You think I don't know that?” He turned to one of the battle droids and said “Launch fighters.”
“Are you crazy!? Those fighters won't last 30 seconds out there!”
Grievous gave what Balto thought to be a sigh. “Don't worry. We have programed these fighters for fighting the Vong in particular. They sort of know what their doing.”
Plo Koon spoke up and said “Do you think that maybe you and Jenna could take the 'Anchorage' and give some support fire?”
It took Balto a moment to realize what Plo had just said.
“You want me and Jenna to go out there? In case you've been to busy to notice, Jenna just had pups. And you want her to go out there?”
“I'll do it.”
Balto turned around and stared at Jenna. “You want to go out there?”
“I don't want to but I will.”
“Wh... what about the pups?”
“I guess I'll have Boris take care of them.”
Plo groaned. “For the love of your kids, stay here.”
The 'Anchorage' blasted out of the hangar bay.
Jenna switched on the shield generator just in time for a flaming hunk of rock to hit it.
“That was close.”
Balto took a quick survey of the battle field. And wondered why he had ever agreed to this. They were outnumbered almost 20 to one. Vong battleships where everywhere. And themassive Worldship didn't help much.
He was brought back to the present when the ship shook suddenly. “What was that?”
Jenna looked as if nothing had happened. “Nothing.”
“You sure?”
“Yes, I'm sure.”
Jenna glanced at her control panel and said “First target acquired.”
“What are we attacking?”
Jenna didn't even bother to look up from the control panel. “That” she said, pointing.
Balto looked. “Oh,maaaaan.”
He was looking at a battleship. “Us against that!?”
“Yeah.” Something beeped on the controls. “Cover your eyes.”
“Huh? AHHH!”
Just then, dozens of laser bolts flashed by the viewscreen blinding Balto. He regained his sight in just enough time to see some of the bolts punching thru the dovin basel shields.
“Fire in the hole!” Jenna yelled.
She pressed the trigger on something and Balto felt the whole ship lurch. Three proton torpedoes flew toward the Vong vessel. Balto shielded his eyes in advance this time. The torpedoesdetonated in a blinding flash of light. The 'Anchorage' lurched again and three more torpedoes flew towards their mark. And again, they hit dead on.
Jenna turned on the communicator and said “Okay Grievous, let'er rip!”
“Acknowledged.”
“What's going on?”
“Watch.”
Jenna angled the 'Anchorage' so they could see what the 'Pride of Kel Dor' was doing.
Balto watched in surprise as several hidden doors on the ship opened up. Then, all in all, seven torpedoes and four sustained laser bolts hit the Vong ship. The lasers hit first and started boring their way thru the Vong ship's armor. They shut off just as the torpedoes closed in.
Ka-Boom!
At first, it didn't appear as if the attack had done a lot of damage. But then, a jet of flame shot out of the hull.
And another.
And another.
Then, the entire ship exploded.
“Yeeeehhhaaa!” Jenna whooped.
Plo Koon came over the communicator just then. “Anchorage' head back. We're jumping to hyperspace.”
“Alright, be there in a second.”
The Vong were still attacking as all of the droid starfighters and the 'Anchorage' came in to dock so they had to be quick.
“Docking complete, Plo.”
“Jumping to hyperspace now.”
Balto and Jenna walked up to the bridge after the ship was safely going the speed of light. Balto smiled as he looked around the bridge.
“Where are we going next?”
