I turned my attention back to her friends and found them through my scope just as they were snatched up into a trap laid by the fuzz balls. The whole bundle, men, wookie and droids were all caught up in a net and suspended helpless as the fuzz balls closed in around them. I laughed and turned my attention elsewhere. To their other comrades. The soldiers from their party were scouting out the forest while their companions were being captured by the local monsters. The little group had ten members. They were trained elites and it was clear they had had military experience. I lined up a shot on one of them between the trees. He was looking around the woods, taking in the sights. I closed one eye, took a death breath and squeezed the trigger. The blaster rifle erupted and my blast shot soared through the air. It passed trees and cut through leaves, even one small tree before it struck its target. He dropped and within the hour, his heat signals would disappear. I zoomed out and located the remaining group. They had taken cover behind thick trees, rocks and logs. They had seen combat before. They knew how to deal with a sniper. Most rebels weren't this experienced. I knew that if they could help it, it would be impossible for me to hit them again.

Then as if by a stroke of luck, one, who appeared to have been the impromptu leader, waved his hand to signal one of his men to stay back. One of the rebel scum must have decided that his cover wasn't good enough so he was moving to a new position. I found him quickly in my crosshairs then moved two or three trees in front of him and fired again. The shot flew fast and took only a second to hit its target. He ran right into the blast and his body crumpled on the forest floor. That was two. Then the rebel party spotted something that would ruin my plans. They made for a large hill nearly a hundred yards away. I lined up a shot, including the lead, and fired. My target dropped. I lined up once more and fired. This time, the scum managed to dodge my shot and made it to the hill in safety. It was large enough that I couldn't see their heat signatures anymore. It was clear that they planned to stay there for the night.

I turned off my scope and made myself comfortable. I had a small dinner in the dark then listened to the sound of birds and creatures moving about in the forest around me as I drifted into sleep. The next morning, I awoke to the sound of birds fleeing from the forest at the sound of an AT-ST firing on fuzz balls. There was a battle at the back entrance to the shield bunker. I grabbed my rifle, lied down on my chest and zoomed in to see what I could do to help. It was clear that the fuzz balls had joined the rebel scum and that full war had been declared on them. I shot two or three of them without remorse then began scanning the woods to see if I could find anymore targets. I watched as blaster fire ripped the trees and fuzz balls ran in terror from the might of our Empire. A few of the little monsters fought back, pelting our men with rocks and spears and managed to hurt and kill a few of our good soldiers, but we were clearly winning.

Then I noticed a fuzz ball soaring above the cockpit of our AT-ST's dropping stones on them from above. It was a difficult shot, but I managed to place a blast directly into one of his wings, sending him spiraling towards the forest floor. I don't know what happened to him after the fall, I had to find new targets. I killed a few more of the fur brains before I witnessed the unspeakable. The battle started to turn. The wookie commandeered one of our walkers and used it to kill one or two of our own. The fuzz balls released the massive suspended logs to come crashing down and smash the cockpit of one of our walkers. They led another walked into the path of logs they rolled down a hill to trip it. Our armor forces were disabled.

I turned my attention back to the bunker entrance. I could only see the right side of the door since it was turned away from me, but I saw that stupid blue and white astromech droid trying to splice its way into our bunker. I zoomed in and fired a blast at it. The shot was enough to short circuit it and sent it flying back against the opposite wall with sparks and electricity shooting out it at every opening. I smiled within my helmet at thwarting the rebel scheme.
