Chapter 5, "CQC"
POV: "Ghost"
After calling in that they were ready Jason went off by himself so i decided to scout out the entrance. After a while I heard laughing and decided to check it out.
When I get there I see a squad of stormtroopers cornering Jason with about 8 on the ground. "They must have found him with his back turned" I think as I raise my blaster.
I was about to squeeze down on the trigger, but suddenly they were... evaporating? Stunned by what I'm seeing. I lowered my blaster and once all the stormtroopers are gone I walk up to Jason who is leaning against a wall.
"Jason, what did you not tell me..." I said. "Kriff…sorry, I just do that sometimes. Let's go". Jason began to walk into the base as I followed close behind.
"So what's the plan? Are we gonna sneak around and sabotage the base" I asked. "Nope." Jason responded quickly taking his staff and slamming it into the neck of a stormtrooper walking past us! "What are you doing!?" I hissed.
"Going loud." Jason said bluntly, unhooking a thermal detonator from my hip and tossing it down the hall. I heard someone shout, "Grenade!", then a loud explosion, then silence.
Jason motioned to me to follow him down the hall. As we walked I asked him, "Do you even know how to use stealth?".
"Of course I do, I just don't see the need for it..." He replied. I scoffed but before I could give him a piece of my mind I heard several footsteps coming our way.
I looked at Jason and said, "Move!". We began sprinting down the hall. Jason turned a corner into a room. I turned the corner and saw him crouched behind a slug thrower. "Get behind me!" he called out.
I stood behind him as he shot a line across from the slug thrower and attached it to the trigger. "An auto slug thrower?" I asked. "Yeah, Reverse trigger. Designed for situations like this." He replied.
The Footsteps got closer as I braced for a fight. The first two stormtroopers ran straight into the line and tripped causing the others behind them to follow suit! Before they could even touch the ground the slug thrower went off, taking all of them out!
Jason let out a sigh as I holstered my blasters. "Nice work, Jason! Kinda thought that wasn't gonna work…" I told him. "Me too. Haven't really used guerilla warfare in a while." He said back.
I elbowed him in the arm and said, "Thought you didn't use stealth?". "Ehhh, it's more so subterfuge" He replied, in a joking tone. I chuckled and said, "SSSSure.". "Anyway we gotta move." Jason said walking out of the room and over the stormtroopers' bodies.
"Alrighty." I replied, doing the same. We entered what Seemed to be a control room. "I'll get a signal out to Sephi to send reinforcements." Jason said.
As he figured out how to do that I looked around the room I heard a slight beeping sound as I passed a desk. I turned and looked under it and found an officer hiding his face full of fear.
I looked at what he held in his hands… He had called for reinforcements! "JASON GET-" before I could warn him I saw several stormtroopers led by an officer aiming their blasters at him!
