The red dust swirled through the air like a blizzard, swallowing any trooper or droid in its radius.
The clone turned his rifle at a battle droid running at him and fired, catching it in the chest with three bolts and then shooting a super battle droid to the left of the original droid. He spun to the right and crouched low, dodging under a hail of bolts. He looked back up to see several of his brothers on the ground, most dead, two of them bleeding out.
He stood angrily and fired his rifle, but the blue lasers merely disipated in the energy shield of the droideka that had killed his squad. His rifle suddenly clicked and stopped firing, and the clone was caught between charging the droid with his gun as a club and trying to find another magazine.
In the end the clone just stood there and began to stiffen as the droid prepared to fire on him, but suddenly he was knocked to the ground by an invisible wall and when he looked up again, a jedi with green skin, headtails and lightsaber was finishing slicing the droid to pieces.
The alien stepped over to the young clone and gave him a hand up, then ran into the cloud of sand and combatants.
The clone was momentarily stunned, then shook himself out of it, but before he returned to battle, he gave himself pause enough to think
What the kriff was that?
