Chapter 24 - Hunting Insects

"At ease. Hell Squad, you did a great job today. With the fall of this Battlesphere we can almost wrap up the Battle of Geonosis. However, there are still some loose ends. Trooper, show the projection."

One of the clones on took out a hologram projector. The hologram showed Geonosis, and there were twelve red dots and an yellow Republic symbol on it. General Windu pointed to the Republic symbol.

"We are here. When the Battlesphere fell quite a number of escape pods and sh.i.p.s flew from it. Some were destroyed and the majority of them landed close, so our troops have already searched and destroyed the droids on them."

He paused and looked up. The clones looked back, alredy understanding what he wanted.

"However, we don't have anyone near those twelve areas. We can't risk Tharrg escaping and started some kind of rebellion. Hell Squad have already proved themselves over and over again, so I need you to go to those places and look for the fugitives."

"Just give us the time to drop Cell with a medical droid and we are ready to go sir."

"I know you have been through all of this recently, but now that the Clone Wars have begun the Separatists have come out of hiding and dominated almost three hundred star systems. We are leaving a fleet here, but we can't spend much efforts on finding Tharrg. There will be some other squads looking for him, but I hope he have gone down with his ship."

"There is no problem sir. It is our job. But I have to ask a question sir."

"Do it then."

"Hell Squad only have six members. Before I thought it was because we couldn't be too big of a group to invade the factory. Now I am not so sure."

"Hell Squad is being changed in a special unit. You will still follow under Master Di lead, but be prepared for lots of challenges."

"Sir, yes sir!"

------------------------

Hell Squad left Cell on an Laat directed to the fleet above Geonosis. Now Dageer, Brain, Three-four, Dab an Tech were on other Laat going to one of the locations on the map General Windu gave them.

They didn't even got out of the Laat. The escape pod has blown up, and there was no chance any one could have survived. It was on the second location that they found something. The escape pod was opened, and there were droid footprints going south.

It didn't take long for them to find the droids. Their mechanical minds couldn't process anything before the laser cannons on the Laat cut them into pieces.

The other squads have already checked six other locations, founding and destroying some droids. The third and fourth places they stopped was the same, the droids returned a little bit of fire before they died.

Finally there was some response from another squad.

"Dageer, we found a shuttle. From the footprints it could be Tharrg. We are in pursuit."

"Copy that Menze. We are going to meet you. Call us if you need any help."

Dageer was expecting Tharrg to give them some trouble, but before long Menze contacted him again saying that Tharrg had surrendered as soon as their Laat approached. To make sure there was nothing wrong Hell Squad went to escort Menze squad.

They arrived at their base without any problems. Menze pushed a geonosian out of their Laat, and passed the keys of his chains to Dageer.

"He is all yours. We will stay here with the Geonosis garrison force Dageer. Good luck out there."

"Bye Menze. We will send you a hologram when we capture Count Dooku. Now come on you bug!"

Hell Squad Laat soared into space. With this their battle on Geonosis was over.
