The Rise And Fall Of Flash Flybolter

                 



=
 My name is Flash Flybolter. My first battle took place on the  desert planet of Geonosis. It was the very first one when the Clone Wars began and the history of the clone troopers was making its way through time. It was a huge battle; over 70 jedi were killed, along with over 300 clone troopers. Luckily I along with my friend from training on Kamino, Dodger, made it through the droid's line of fire and forced the separtists into a final retreat.=====

The Hyena Brigade
After the Battle of Geonosis, Flash was assighned to the squad,  The Hyena Brigade, sadly Dodger was transfered to a different unit. Flash would never see Dodger again. About 2 days after he was assighned to the squad, there was a mission the Brigade would go to Umbara, where they would go over the plan of attack. Once they had, figured out there stradedy they moved out. While arc trooper Warrior an Burner went out into the field Flash was assigned to a different postion while there, he saw a rancor he fought and killed the beast. When he reported this to his squad and described it he was shocked to learn that no clone had ever killed that kind of rancor and that it was a very rare kind Burner was impressed and rewarded Flash for his actions.





















The Separtsist Base
While doing a patrol on Carlac, Flash discovered a hidden Separtist outpost he alerted the Brigade and they immedietly invaded the base only to find that it was a trap Count Dooku was waiting for them. He knocked out Marn and then faced Flash. The skilled trooper tried his best but was just no match for the evil sith lord. Dooku cut off Flash's arm and forced pushed him against the wall despite horrible wound Flash faced him again but the sith deafeted him again leaving him to die with an open face wound and a sliced off arm. Marn awoke to see Flash laying beside him completely still, Marn felt for a pulse and luckily this time there was one. Marn took Flash to the base and alerted trooper Joe, the squad's medic, He was highly skilled, and with much treatment Flash would be back in fighting shape in less than a week.



                                                             Battle of Kamino



Soon after Joining the Brigade Flash and the rest of the Hyena were shipped out to Kamino to hold off the Separatist invasion. The battle was long and tough. General Greivous attacked the Brigade killing many of the squad's men but the Brigade held there ground. Flash was sent to the lower levels to secure the clone DNA room suddenly Ventress came out of no where attacked Flash, he kept of the fire and eventually even managed to wound the sith with a shot to the shoulder but finally Flash was forced to fall back but not without a good fight. As Flash looked back he saw Anakin Skywalker coming behind Ventress and attacking her Flash was relieved. Finally the huge battle came to an end and the Brigade met up with each other abord a Republic Cruiser Burner heard Flash's report of the fight with the sith and was impressed. Flash was later granted the rank of Lieutenant for his bold work.

The Hyena Brigade's next deployment took place at the planet of Teth. Flash was not a part of the mission. Flash was sent on a very important mission on Felucia with Captain Rex and the 212 legion. While leading the Rouge Battalion into the deeper forests of Felucia, Flash discovered a huge tank the squad took it down with few casualties but it sent reinforcements! More tanks and Droidekas joined the scene and a massive battle broke out. In the end, Flahs and the others destroyed the Separatist's forces but most of the men had been wiped out. The next day Flash met up with the Hyena at there base. Flash was very sad to hear what had happened. A new recruit, Jiian, and trooper Galak had been killed. Flash was angry that he wasn't there to help save them. The Brigade would soon recover and be ready for battle once again. But little did Flash know something was coming for him...

Flash was sent on another lone mission at the darkened world of Umbara, with another mission with Captain Rex Flash became very fond of Captain. Captain Rex, Flash and the 501st legion all came together in one huge battle. But soon Flash was informed that General Krell was a traitor. Flash was enraged and joined Captain Rex and arc trooper Fives to destroy the sith,  many clones were killed at the wrath of Krell including many troopers Flash knew and trusted this was to much for Flash he sent out some of the best clone troopers to capture Krell along with himself. All the clones were killed but Flash still remained he just kept shooting and shooting not ever stopping finally he managed to wound Krell filled with rage Krell attacked Flash he quickly dodged the strike of the saber and shot more laser bolts suddenly the sith cut Flash's blaster in half Flash took out his knife and attacked Krell nocking a lightsaber out of his hands Flash quickly grabbed it and fought with sabers. Flash was suprisingly very skilled with the sword he struck Krell on the leg, he fell down to the ground Flash aimed the lightsaber at Krell's face and took his revenge. After these events Flash began a paticular interest in the force. The Hyena didn't like him studying the force Marn reminded Flash that they were soldiers not Jedi. Flash was angry he thought that the Brigade didn't understand him as the Clone wars continued Flash slowly drue toward General Skywalker he seemed to understand him best.

Lair Of Greivous
The Brigade was soon informed that the Republic had located a planet in the far sectors of the Outer Rim that they believed was General Greivous's place to lie low. The Hyena took a small transport ship, so they would not be detected. Flash and Warrior led the group into a small structure. It was a dark terrible place. suddenly 2 magna droids came out and attacked the Brigade killing 5 of there men. Flash took out his lightsaber ( that he took from Krell )  and struck down the droids. Flash told Warrior to take the wounded back to the ship Warrior hastily agreed and head back. Flash and the remaining 7 men continued on. Suddenly Flash spotted a laser door making it impossible to enter the small room beind it, then lasers everywhere were suddenly activated blocking their escape then a laugh broke the silence. Behind the laser door was General Greivous. He opened the laser door with a code and walked out he activated his lightsabers and attacked them killing all the men. Greivous then faced Flash they faught each skilled but finally Greivous won. He knocked out Flash. When he awoke Flash was in a medical bay there he saw Warrior and he told him he was going to be fine. Soon after these events Flash continued to pursue his interest for the force and practiced more with his lightsaber skilles and got better and better.

Ancient Sith Academy
The Hyena was soon sent to the darkened world of Umbara to secure an Ancient Sith Academy in the Northern sectors of the planet. Flash had been to this planet before, and knew the sooner  they got off Umbara the better. They soon arrived at the temple, atonished at how huge the structure was. Knowing there was no time to loose Burner led the men inside. Rivers of lava lighted their way. Suddenly 3 Sith apprentices spotted them and attacked, the men took them out with ease and continued on. Many more Sith confronted them and were defeated as the Brigade pushed on. Flash suddenly spotted a Sith Lordin a room in front of them, Flash and Marn activated their lightsabers and led the men inside. They quickly made a perimeter around him, blocking his escape. Suddenly 5 Sith un like the others came in out of no where and attacked them ultimetly resulting in the loss of 3 of the men's lives. Flash deep down actually admired their stratedgy of fighting. Flash felt strange and confused. At last the Brigade took the sith down but the squad lost half their men in the fight. The Brigade continued on. Marn planted explosives everywhere and set them on a timer. Suddenly Warrior motioned for the men to get down, there in front of them in the next room stood Darth Maul. They soon came out of hiding and attacked him, enraged, he faught back then Savage Opress came and attacked them. Flash somehow had a bit of compassion for Maul. Flash didn't like this feeling, he felt very confused and found himself angry at Maul for making him un easy and letting his guard down. After severe casualties the Brigade was forced to retreat. Weary, the remaining 6 men made it out of the Temple and went to their base. The Brigade recruited more men. Flash couldn't understand what was going on with him, had he actually had compassion for a savage killing machine? Flash couldn't understand what was happening to him.
