"Sidewinder, eh?" Matt quietly asks the pilot. "I'm sure there's a story behind that nickname."
"You wouldn't believe it, sir," Sidewinder responds as he guides the LAAT/i out of the Venator-class Star Destroyer.
"Would you beleive a Jedi being frozen in carbonite for around three thousand years?" Matt asks in return. "Perhaps later you might consider sharing the tale."

"Sure thing, General." says 'Sidewinder'.
As the gunships enter the atmosphere, flak from anti-air turrets and missiles from Hailfire droids take out 3 of the 8 gunships, and damages the one the Hunter and his crew are aboard. 'Sidewinder' does his best, but the gunship crashes hard into the ground. 2 clones died in the crash, one being 'Mop-Up' (the co-pilot sitting behind 'Sidewinder') and one of the turret-ball gunners.
"Everyone out!" barks 'Sidewinder'. "The engines are going critical!"

"Next time, we sanitize the area with fighters before dropping troops," Matt growls as he scrambles from the critically damamged gunship, remembering the carnage done to Republic forces by the Mandalorians three thousand years prior while pulling Sidewinder from the wreckage. "Barquan, Sidewinder, Mara, you guys hurt?"
"Just bumps and bruises, Master," Mara replies. "Where are we, anyways?"

"I have a broken wrist, sir." says 'Sidewinder'.

Matt quickly Heals Sidewinder's broken wrist. "Not anymore you don't," he says as he does that. "Barquan, sound off!"
"Ouch..." Barquan mutters loud enough to heard. "Sidewinder, I know you weren't drinking last night..."
"Quit whining, Barquan," Mara snaps. "We obviously got shot down."

"Thanks for the fix, General." says 'Sidewinder' as he and the survivors of the crash get out of range just in time, as the downed gunship explodes.

"Mara, Barquan, quit bickering like younglings!" Matt snapped an hour later when the pair's constant verbal sniping about who's fault the crash was finally wore on his last nerve. "The way you two've carried on, I'm amazed that we haven't been ambushed by the Separatists, because the Mandalorians would've already ambushed us a good three to four times."
"Busted, Barquan," Sidewinder snerked, only to quickly shut up when his General turned his glare on him. "Shutting up, sir."

Meanwhile, Durge has landed dirtside and prepares to lead a speederbike assault like he did against Republic forces on the planet Muunilinst. His company of IG Lancer droids also prepare for battle.

OOC: Don't forget that Dxun is a jungle moon with some of the nastiest wildlife in the known Galaxy. Kinda makes Endor look like a vaction spot, don't it, Marcus? It also rules out Hailfire Droids in an AAA role and makes the big Spider Droids problematic at best.
Am I safe in assuming that the good guys have crashed in the Ebon Hawk's old parking spot on Dxun?
IC: Mara looks down, embarrassed. "Sorry, Master," she says.
"Sorry, sir," Barquan says.
"When we get done here, I'm sitting you two down to find out what caused that little arguement," Matt says with a stern glare to both his Padawan and Clone Commander. "Sidewinder? Don't egg them on."
"Yes, sir," Sidewinder replies, grateful to have avoided getting in trouble.

ooc: Yes, they crashed where the Ebon Hawk once was.
ic:
Durge roars out a warcry, signaling the start of the assault. The bounty hunter and several IG Lancer Droids speed off to 'greet' the Republic forces.

OOC: In that case, by the time Matt vebally slaps Mara and Barquan, they've most likely entered the old Mandalorian Camp's ruins, a very defensible spot, and met up with the rest of the assault force.
IC: "Barquan, I'll bet you twenty creds that hostile company's coming," Matt says quietly inside the old Mandalorian Camp's command center. "Get the defenses set."
"We're already prepped, sir," Barquan replies. "And do I look like that sucker, Doz?"
"Physically?" Matt grins. "Yes. Armorwise? No."

Matt starts to respond but says over the commlink instead as he grabs his 'saber and walks out of the command center, "All personnel, prepare for attack! I repeat, prepare for attack!"
"I feel a massive disturbance in the Force," Mara says, her hand edging towards her lightsaber.

Durge and his IG Lancer droids burst into the area on their speederbikes. Durge spots a clonetrooper and leaps off his speeder, and throws an electric bola at the trooper, wrapping it around his neck and electrocuting said clone.

OOC: Marcus, Mara hasn't left the command center in the old Mandalorian Camp, which to my knowledge, only has one entrance, which is heavily guarded by Matt and Barquan's troops. I would suggest you edit your last post accordingly...

Unfortunately for Durge and his IG Lancers, Matt's warning had gotten to the troops before his arrival, so he ends up dodging blasterfire from the downed trooper's brethren.
Matt comes to the entrance. "Who the kriff are you, Ugly?" he asks, holding his still-unlit 'saber at his side.

"I am Durge, pathetic Jedi. I've killed many of your kind over thousands of years. And today I will add you and the youngling to the list, and after that, I will kill every last clone on the planet. In all, it will be a good day for me." says Durge as he shoots a clonetrooper in the chest.

"You're not the first kriffin' di'kut to say they're going to turn me into a trophy," Matt retorts as he ignites both sides of his 'saber and settles into a fighting stance, giving Durge a couple of reasons to pause as he'd never seen a Jedi armed with a double-bladed lightsaber, nor one so ready to do battle. "And you do realize that this is technically a moon, right?"

"Prepare to died, Jedi scum!" says Durge as he grabs a stolen lightsaber from his belt and ignites it.
