Author's Note: What?! But it hasn't been three months yet! Why is he updating?! Would you like to know the answer? BECAUSE HE'S AWESOME! Not really. But he's updating anyway. And he's speaking in the third person. This guy's a weirdo...
RESPONSES TO REVIEWS!
jedikhaleesi: Yes, most authors would. I am not most authors. *ominous music*
AaylaKit: Yes, it is kind of a weird chapter, but this next one will definitely be better. Woot!
Kit practically flew toward his besieged troopers.
"Galle. Galle come in!" He was shouting into the com link, trying to raise one of the men. No response.
Kit took the lightsaber from his belt. He sensed Aayla pulling up alongside him, then moving past him. Kit increased his pace.
"Take a right." A clone shouted to him. Kit spun around a corner and nearly ran into a door. Dodger shoved his way up and keyed the code into the door. It remained shut.
"Kriff! I don't have the codes for this area of the base!"
"Out of the way," Aayla muttered, igniting her lightsaber and plunging it into the door. The focused laser burned through the door and she started cutting up along the door frame. Kit stepped to the other side of the door and began cutting toward Aayla's saber. The clones lined up on either side of the door with their various weapons aimed at it.
Aayla severed the last connection on the door and Kit blasted it away from them, into the hangar.
Red laser bolts immediately flashed through the now-open doorway, catching at least one trooper before the even had a chance to fire back. Soldiers poured covering fire into the hangar as Kit, Aayla and four clones moved through and behind some crates. Kit crouched next to one trooper behind a crate. The clone leaned up to fire over the crate, but took a shot to the shoulder before he could find a viable target.
Kit noticed what looked like a clone trooper struggling to pull another behind some form of cover-it looked like a fallen Vulture droid.
With an order for the wounded soldier to hold his position, the Jedi master vaulted over the crate and deflected a laser bolt burning toward him. The laser went on a direct line to the droid who'd fired it. Fisto ran toward what he now recognized were four troopers, two taking random shots at droids or walking ships, one wounded and another trying to administer medical help.
A Vulture droid was bearing down on the soldiers. Kit jumped over them, enhancing the distance with a Force push, and landed on the Vulture's right wing/leg. He turned over and sliced through the brace connecting the wing and head, then sliced the head in two. Kit performed a backflip that landed him back with the troopers.
"Kriff," one trooper that he recognized as Narris yelled, "Patch, take out that sith-spawned sniper!"
"I'm working on it!" An irritable voice shouted back. The medic grabbed his carbine from beside the wounded trooper and shot in the general direction that shots were coming from.
Four soldiers slid behind the Vulture.
"We've got soldiers moving around the perimeter of the hangar. I've got men covering the way back to the others. We need to move now if you want back."
"Negative, we've got wounded here. We can't move until the area's completely clear."
"Kriff!" The soldier activated his wrist-com. "This is Shyso, I need more troopers to clear my position. Repeat, I have wounded here and need my position cleared of hostiles!"
A voice came back over the com,
"Sorry sir, we're gonna take a while. My men are having trouble with a very insistent Vulture." He started yelling at someone else.
"I don't care how you get it done, Cooker. Get some boys over here and clear my position!"
The other end of the com remained silent. Shyso turned to Kit.
"Sir, it looks like we're going to have to clear the way ourselves. I've got three good troops here, it looks like you two can fight," he indicated the other two soldiers not including the medic and wounded soldier. "But we might want to leave one or more soldiers here." The Nautolan Jedi nodded.
"Take your men and move the right and back. Go two at a time, leapfrog. Understood?"
"Yes sir." Shyso and his men started to move, before the captain looked back, "What about you General?"
Kit thought for a moment, then said,
"I'm going to clear your position." With a slight grin, the general seemed to disappear.
Shyso shook his head.
"Stang Jedi. I'll never understand them."
