Chapter 6- Lock and Load
Jayge took Yaeb to a small lump of grass about four feet in length. " This is the hideout?" Yaeb asked skeptically. " Yeah," Jayge replied as he dug about a foot deep with his hands to reveal a small switch. After he flipped it, the lump of grass rose to reveal a ladder that went about five feet down. Jayge and Yaeb climbed into the hole and Jayge flicked on a lantern. The light revealed a large, open space filled with field rations, guns, ammo, camouflage, and a few chairs. " Wow," Yaeb gasped. He was like a kid in a candy store. He replenished the power packs to all of his weapons and picked up a few more weapons. He grabbed three concussion grenades and two thermal detonators. When Jayge was about to replace his LAR 42 with a G-9 power blaster, Yaeb spoke sharply, " No, it isn't gonna work that way." " Why not," Jayge querried, " A G-9 easily replaces a '42." " Because I made a few modifications to this one," Yaeb replied as he pressed a small button on the side of his blaster rifle and a small beam of light about one foot long came out of the barrel. " A flashlight?" Jayge asked with a cocked eyebrow. " No," Yaeb laughed, " It's a little mini-saber. I use it when I don't have enough time to grab for my actual saber." " Oh, anything else?" " Yeah, " Yaeb replied nonchalantly as he pressed another button and a grapple hook and cord shot and burrowed into the wall. " Nice," Jayge complimented, " But are you sure you don't want any other guns." " I'll take that blaster carbine on the top shelf," Yaeb grinned. " Sure, that's a good one, Davak left it for you, it has a can of gizzer ale taped to the top. Davak said you would get it." Yaeb laughed as he remembered how him and Davak used to take that very blaster carbine and shot up cans of ale after they had downed a few cans themselves. " Good to see you remember," a new voice spoke up from behind. " Davak!" Yaeb ran up and slapped the large, bald, dark-skinned male with a brotherly grin. " Good to see you, Yaeb, I didn't even know you were back." It was clear that the two had a lot of catching up to do. Jayge left quietly up the ladder. He claimed he was going to keep watch. As Yaeb donned camouflaged scout trooper armor, he talked to Davak and told him how things were going on. " And then we met this red-head guy," Yaeb went on, " He was acting real tough and all. I didn't like him. But then he turned out to be an okay guy. So we saved him and talked a little bit. He's my new co-pilot." " Cool, man. Bring him down sometime, I'd love to see your crew again and meet the new guy." Just then, the two men heard the sound of blaster bolts screeching through the air. Yaeb used a Force-aided jump and flew through the top of the hatch. He threw his lightsaber and decapitated three men. Davak climbed up and burned through another two with his DL-44. That was when Yaeb glanced at Jayge. His corpse was burned and still smoldering. There was anger in both men's eyes. Jayge's crew had already left for the outposts. Davak put Jayge's gear inside the storeroom and gave him a proper burial. The killers would pay. " Lock and load," Davak said, his voice filled with anger, " We're going in."
Hope you liked it. Did you guys read my commercial on RITS? Awesome, huh. Those people are great. Review if you want. If not then don't. Read RITS, too. It's really good and funny. Sorry for not writing in a while. I got preoccupied. This story will only have like, three more chapters.
