Entry 33-2

I hate Force Push. I hate it with a passion. Blast that Maul! He was there at every corner and there were times when I found myself defeated by his skill with his blades.

Our mission was simple free the planets of Tatoonie, Naboo, and Polis Massa. The battles on Tatoonie were intense brawls, my nemesis, Ernest was constantly pulling his tricks of relying on explosives instead of doing a straight fight. Each battle had me hard pressed to defeat such a brilliant foe.

After removing the blasted scrap piles from Mos Eisley, my clones and I persued the droid army to Jabba's Palace. This I believe was a tactical error on my nemesis' plans because he was constantly battling not only myself but Jabba's brutes as well. The palace was so dark that it was easy to lose ones self in the twisting corridors. Then the skirmishes would pop up often the only thing that one could be aware of was the lights of blaster fire and lighting quick movements of the lightsabers. Often there was nothing left when these mini battles ended. On and on it went, falling through trap doors, capturing command posts, killing droids and Gamorreans alike. Finely, they were destroyed.

We then followed them to Naboo, where they nearly defeated us. Darth Maul was there at every turn, unleashing his force upon my soldiers and myself. He was a whirling dervish, his red blades whipping through clone and even his own droids. We won that one that battle by the skin of chins.

Next we chased them to Polis Massa where my nemesis Ernest unleashed his tactical brilliance upon my forces. He snuck into my back command post and then would claim it for himself. As soon as I would arrive at Command Base One, he would flee. This patten continued for some time, until I finally decided that it would be much easier to focus all my resources on him after I had captured his other command posts. After all what did I have to lose? He was beating me by at least one hundred soldiers. I lead my forces to his bases, all the while awaiting the moment when I could take on my foe head on.
The time arrived quickly, and soon I was heading back to Base One. I fooled him into believing that I would be coming by tank, but I did not instead I ran the length of the facility, until at last I was approaching the rise on which Base One sat. Base One is by all means the most strategic base on the entire planet. Sitting high on an incline that can only be reached via two natural ramps that give the one at the top of the mountain the advantage. It was by far the most difficult of all the bases to recapture. My devious archrival, used his skill as a master forensic expert to cause my efforts to prove fruitless. He also used them as a distraction so that he could sneak behind myself and my forces and wreck havoc. It only took once for me to learn the lesson and soon I was thwarting his efforts to sneak around behind my back. It was also about this time that I finally began to make my way to the top of the hill. I came to the door way of the base but was hesitant to enter due to the amount of explosives in the room. I stood in the doorway destroying droid-after-droid until finally, Master Yoda ran through the doorway, clearing it of mines and allowing me entrance where I quickly began taking out Ernest's extensive forces. Soon Base One was under my control once again and I could help but smile as I realized that I had beaten my foe yet again, and by 7 droids at that.
