J149 felt the hand of the Storm trooper on her chest armor.
“Stop, there is a spiked pitfall in front of us.”
J149 looked through the scope of her rifle, she was able to see with the night vision scope into the pitfall. There were staked Storm troops in the pit brutally pierced by the sharp sticks.
“You think they suffered there?”
“No they all died within seconds, the sharpened sticks in the pit are coated with a neurological poison that kills the brain within seconds.”
“Im J149 from assault battalion 149, what regiment are you?”
“ Im I330 from Assault battalion I300 we have been stationed here since the construction of Death Star 2.”
“Where is your command?”
“They… They are all dead.. And we will be to if we don't get to FOB1”
J149 followed I330 under the cover of the smoke and darkness of night. The wild ground animals and birds filled the forest fleeing the wild fires.
I330 started to examine the trees above them. J149 scanned around the forest for any signals.
There were screams for Storm troopers coming from up ahead. I330 looked back at J149 and they both crouched lower in the bushes.
Slowly they moved through the hillside passing by a large hillside stone. It began to rain which covered the sounds of their steps and scent. J149 watched I330 slowly stand up to see if he could see over the rock. He crouched back down.
“I'm going to boost you up, tell me if you see where the screams are coming from.”
J149 used her left hand on the rock to help hoist herself up atop while I330 helped her climb up the slippery rock side.
Using her night vision scope to see. J149 spotted the commotion in the Imperial cleared path. She spotted the Storm troopers kneeling in a line taken as prisoners of war, by the rebel dogs. There were rebel Duros officers giving orders to rebels to give captives to the Ewoks. The rebel troops walked over and forcefully kicked the Stormtrooper prisoners over to the Ewoks who waited patiently to feast upon them.
The Ewoks dragged them kicking and screaming to their warriors where they made one Stormtrooper kneel and wait to be beheaded by the biggest Ewok. The fierce Ewok took a mighty swing and sliced off the Stormtroopers head and celebrated by bathing in the blood spraying from the Stormtroopers neck. The warriors couldn't wait and started to help themselves to the Storm troopers they were all chopped and guts torn out. J149 got sick watching the rebels laughing as the Storm troopers' guts were dragged out by hundreds of hungry Ewok warriors. The remaining kneeling Storm troopers were scared; some tried to run but were gunned down in the rain by the rebels A280c assault rifles.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
The rebels dragged the remaining kneeling prisoners away into the darkness of the forest.
J149 looked back at the Ewoks ripping apart the hands and limbs of the Imperial stormtroopers passing them around like sharing rations.
J149 carefully navigated her way down the wet rockside, horrified and mentally scarred. Once she was back on the ground I330 asked her in a quiet tone.
“What did you see?”
“They were eaten by the blood crazy bears.”
I330 shook his head and said.
“I spent enough time on this forest moon.”
J149 nodded and followed behind I330 as they walked along the hill in the rain and shadows of the night they heard another hiding Stormtrooper call out to them.
“Hey don't leave me here, I'm coming with you.”
J149 and I330 turned to see the trooper activate a fall trap which dropped down from the tree tops a large netting filled with boulders from the hillside. The netting of stone crushed the Stormtrooper. J149 heard the sound of his armor and bones cracking and snapping under the weight.
J149 and I330 started to run away from the set off trap. I330 had no choice but to turn on his assault rifle's light. The sounds of horns and Ewoks filled the trees behind them.
J149’s heart pounded as they ran across the slippery mossy forest floor. J149 saw a flash cartridge fly past them from the trees and activate behind them and Ewok cries sound out loud from the blinding flash.
“Keep running!”
An heavy assault troop ran out from the bushline carrying an enemy's Heavy RT-97c blaster cannon. Together they ran following the Heavy assault trooper. Rocks and arrows flew past and around them. Arrows hit and stuck deep into the tree trunks and rocks snapped through small trees.
The heavy assault trooper slipped then snapped a wooden mechanism which activated a swing trap which launched out and stabbed into his right arm and shoulder with many sharpened spears. J149 Heard the heavy Assault Trooper scream in pain as the trap swung the man right past J149 and I330.
J149 and I330 kept running for their lives through the trees. J149 looked up and saw the spotlights from FOB1 in the distance. The Ewoks launched slings which missed I330 and hit J149 wrapping her ankles up, tripping her to the ground. J149s rifle fell out of her hands during the fall. She hit the ground hard and I330 turned around and began to fire his blaster rifle into the crowd of Ewoks approaching in the bushline. Red blaster fire strobed around them lighting the area enough for J149 to see her rifle not far away.
The Ewoks were getting decimated by the rifle but it wasn't enough so I330 swung around his vanguard blaster shotgun. A Large Rough half burnt Ewok charged in with a jumping attack but was cut in half by the powerful shotgun which sent its lower half flying back at the crowd of Ewoks. I330 repeatedly shot his blaster shotgun into the incoming blood thirsty bears.
J149 unsheathed her knife and sliced at the leather ties around her boots. From the shadows beside them an Ewok ran at her so J149 stabbed her Knife into his thick neck and raised her left arm to block the hatchet which smashed her forearm guard J149 grabbed the Bear and wrestled it, dragging it down to the ground and mounting the bear. She raised her knife and started to stab the Ewok repeatedly. J149 felt the Bear go lifeless after the knife traveled into its skull 10 times. I330 was struck with an armor piercing arrow and dropped to a knee.
“J149 get to FOB1!”
J149 picked up her rifle and ran for her life.
The Ewoks surrounded him as he tried to stand back up the surrounding Ewok hands pulled at his belt and armor. I330 heard his thermal explosive activated. I330 with each hand grabbed on to two bears holding them while he exploded with the crowd of Ewoks.
J149 was shocked to hear the explosion behind her as she neared the spot lights which lit up around her from the large metal walls. She kneeled down and waved her arms into the air to be noticed by the Stormtroopers on the wall. J149 heard S267’s voice.
“J149 is that you?”
“Yes it’s me, come help me!”
