Nothing for chapter one either, i can't be that good, where are the "constructive criticism people"?
Aahh well, here is chapter two. More of a talker then a fighter admittedly, but oh well.
Hope you enjoy it.
The planet Alderaan had been a lovely planet, the air was fresh, the cities were orderly, and the countryside could have been described as magical.
The key word in the last sentence was 'had'. Looking at Alderaan now, it bore an eerie resemblance to Raxus Prime.
'So, we're gonna lose, huh?'
Two soldiers in a watch tower looked down at the droid and clone carcasses, the scorched trodden-on earth. They had survived the first wave of enemies, which was more then what could have been said for the other places, but the amount of soldiers who had already died… Well, the first soldier, staring out at the battlefield, seemed to grit his teeth, trying to forget the many lives lost. His brown eyes filled with a helpless fury.
'Looks like it.' The second soldier said calmly, polishing the rifle in his hand. The cloth he was using was so covered in blood and oil; it probably made the rifle more dirty rather then less. The second soldier wasn't really looking at his rifle; he was following the first soldier's gaze towards the mess of blood and machine parts.
'The transports ain't gonna get here for another twelve hours, what would you say the odds are we get there?' The first soldier forced a big smile, showing rather uneven teeth, and more then a few missing.
'I thought you Corellians didn't like the odds.' The second man said with a dry chuckle and a twinkle in his bright green eyes.
The first soldier didn't laugh at the rather lame attempt to joke. Instead he was gazing into the distance. 'Here they come.' He muttered.
The second soldier peered out to the battlefield and saw a wave of clones and droids coming. No fancy formation, just straight lines. Whoever the tactician was, they weren't the most original thinker. If they were, Alderaan would have probably been taken over weeks ago.
The second soldier ripped his comlink off his belt and whispered furiously 'Wave of troops coming, activate first trap at my signal.
He stared at the wave slowly moving closer, and then whispered 'now'.
Inside several strategic clumps of corpses, thermal detonators exploded, leaving large gaps in the force.
Unfortunately, the gaps were quickly filled up, and the soldiers continued marching, as if nothing happened. The droids anyway, the clones moved a bit more cautiously.
Not that they needed too, that was the last trap they had.
The second soldier sighed. 'Ok, open fire.' He muttered.
Suddenly, blaster from all over the fortress started firing.
The first soldier started firing, not even bothering to aim, the odds were against him missing, considering the sheer numbers of the enemy.
The second soldier fired more carefully, aiming at the higher ranked soldiers who, through bad luck or bravery, were at the front lines.
'Well then, let's have a bet, if we make it, you owe me a hot chocolate, if we don't, I'll get you a hot chocolate.' The first soldier said dryly.
The second soldier grinned, and for the first time, the grin was quite real.
'We could get into a lot of trouble trying to get a drink like that.' He paused. 'I'm in.'
With that, they continued firing at the wave of troops that were slowly, but surely, coming closer…
Well, there is chapter two. Very short, but i hope you enjoyed it!
Anyway, R&R, and have a nice 24 hours.
