Curse my ceaseless clumsiness, Plank thought violently as the 5th time stumbling took its toll in his speed. Sly called out from a hidden position amongst the rocks," Hurry! More are coming and we have no luck here!"
Around the bunker, there was a raise significant enough to gain leverage against the oncoming forces. Plank reached the edge in time that the flurry of blaster bolts pelted the nearby rock instead of his easily penetrable armour.
"Finally! I was going to have do destroy them myself Plank."
"You don't think I'd let you have all the fun, did you?"
From there Plank brutally destroyed every droid within his range. Sly was a supreme distraction, dropping down from above abling Plank to slaughter the unsuspecting and mightily confused battle droids. Forthwith the carnage of broken droids lay scattered upon the dry ground.
"Do you think we got 'em all?" Sly asked catching his breath.
"We can never be too sure. Let's take a look inside this rickety structure." Plank said wearily eyeing the building. Walking in Planks first thought was:
"This is not good."
Scorch marks from shots danced along every surface and the back half of the frame had been pried open like a chi nut. It was obvious that a heated battle had happened here.
"That takes away a few aspects of our advantage, "Sly muttered bitterly.
"See if you can find anything of any use in this Sarlacc pit. Hopefully something we can use to finish these last droids up." Plank suggested.
Their search came up sight avail.
"Nice! Look at these! There is enough firepower in these grenades to take out a tank!"
Plank didn't hear, he was gazing at the approaching shadow.
"It looks like we're gonna have to."
"No-way! This is going to be fun!"
Plank looked at Sly oddly.
"Taking out a killer tank with only two soldiers is your idea of fun?"
"Give or take." He said shrugging.
"Look," Plank pointed to the underneath of the tank. "See how it's going right over the ridge, in an attempt to block us? What if we use it to Not block us."
"Plank, I like how you think."
Plank handed one of the heavy explosives to his friend.
"Ready Sly?"
"Let's blow it sky high!"
Plank and Sly dashed to the ridge, dodging blaster fire along the way.
"Sly! To your left!"
"Thanks, brother!"
Looking around Plank saw a clanker come up on his side and aim for Sly.
"Nooo!" Plank jumped in front of Sly so the bullet pierced his shoulder alternately than Sly's heart.
"Plank!" Sly pulled him into a cleavage in the rock. "Are you alright?"
"Sly. "Plank said gently.
"Yes, Plank. "Sly said concern evident in his voice.
"This isn't real."
"Oh."Sly quickly helped him stand, embarrassed.
Plank determinedly declared, "We finish this now."
They stuck the grenades on the belly of the tank and slid out from under it just in time. Debris rained from the sky dramatically.
"Wahooo! Yah! We did it!" Plank exclaimed joyfully.
Turning to Mliss, Sly whipped off his helmet excitedly.
"That was Freaking Awesome!"
Laughing at how much they enjoyed it Mliss replied:
"You both were superb! I must say I was very impressed at how you took down the tank."
"I mean, I could smell Geonosis! it was that authentic looking! Sly gushed.
Plank beamed then hurriedly put back on his helmet. Mliss, sensing the Jedi's presence, turned around to greet General Skywalker. He glanced around the white room, impressed.
"Anakin, it's good to see you."
"Good to see you as well Mliss but do I smell... Geonosis?
"Plank and Sly were experimenting with my new training program."
"How did you even make it smell like Geonosis?"
"It's easy to create as it's quite a distinct smell."
Plank observed in awe at the famous Jedi as they spoke. They were even on a first name basis!
Skywalker then turned to Sly and him.
"So you boys must be part of the elusive XYZ legion."
"Yes Sir, "Sly cooly yet respectfully replied."We are starting our training tomorrow, Sir."
"Well, I'll look forward to seeing you in action, "Returning his attention to Mliss he said."Hopefully someday I'll get to see how your unique
training works."
"I have a feeling it will be sooner than later."
"See you around," Anakin said wandering off.
Plank looked at Sly and he nodded, thinking the same thing.
"We better get going, Sir, curfew is soon."
Plank shuddered. Curfew. He was never going to hear that word again without wincing.
"I wouldn't want you to be late. Sly, do you want to be the first I train?"
"I would like that, "Sly replied.
"Plank you can be next."
"Sound good."
"May the force be with you both."
