Chapter 232 - Taking Back Ryloth (1/2)

Both commanders, and General Kenobi, stared at Dab. It was a plan. A bad one, but still, a plan. General Kenobi glanced at Commander Cody, who shrugged.

”It isn't the craziest thing we have done today, sir. If you think you can pull this off, it is worth a try. It might be our only chance of surviving this battle.”

The Jedi nodded, and put his two hands close together. Dageer patted Dab's shoulder, and took back the DC-15A that the clone gave him.

”Good thinking, Dab.”

The sniper only nodded, without even turning his head to talk to Dageer. He was too concentrated on firing at the incoming droids.

Tech yelled when a laser hit his shoulder, and Metal cursed when his blaster was pulled out of his hands by another laser. Now that the clanckers were getting closer, their accuracy was getting better.

”Now should be about time, general!”

The Jedi didn't answer, but pushed his hands forward. The piece of the wall, which was at least three meters long, and one and a half meter high, was sent tumbling away. The droids on its path were crushed or pushed, falling down the wall. At least a hundred seppies were destroyed with that one move, creating a path to the bridge controls building.

”Now is the time! Move, move!”

The group took off running, taking advantage of the opportunity, and killing any droid on their way, but there were still too many. Seeing their path getting blocked once more, Dageer looked at Commander Cody, and saw him nod. They knew what was going on each other's mind

”General Kenobi. You have to go first. We will hold the clanckers.”

”That isn't happening, Dageer.”

”You are a Jedi, sir. You are the only one who can get to the controls before the seppies fill this damn wall. We will keep them occupied. You just have to come back to help us as soon as you are done.”

General Kenobi looked at the two clones with a complicated expression. But there was no time to deliberate. He turned on his lightsaber, and ran towards the building. Without having to keep up with the clone's pace, he was easily able to get to the bridge controls building, cutting down any seppie on his way.

...

Dageer watched as General Kenobi disappeared inside the building. He had no doubt that a Jedi would have no problems to get the ray bridge back up. That meant that their mission was almost accomplished. Now, they just had to survive to see the end of it.

”Keep firing, boys!”

The clones arranged themselves in a half-moon, kneeling on the ground. Red lasers hit the ground and cut the air around them, but the clones stood still as stone. They weren't fazed by how many times death almost got to them. That was what they were created for, and what they were the best at.

”Reloading!”

Tech crouched, barely dodging a laser, and Three-four covered him, pressing the trigger of his blaster without stop.

Waxer and Boil were also an impressive team, killing one droid after another. Kickback, Dageer, Commander Cody, and Metal were at the very front of their formation. The double-barrel repeating blaster that the clone had was wreaking havoc amidst the droids.

Dageer felt an impact in his chest, and stifled a groan. If it wasn't for the blast padding in his armor, he would be dead. Behind him, Dab's forearm was hit, and Waxer's helmet was sent flying was a laser hit it, narrowly missing his head.

Suddenly, they heard a loud sound of metal scraping metal. Looking behind the droids, they saw a Dwarf-Spider droid. The long laser cannon on it was pointed directly at them.
