J149 heard the auto turrets begin ripping into the darkness behind her Ewoks screams and cannon blasts filled the clearing. The red cannon blasts would incinerate and shred apart the Ewoks. J149 ran up the hill towards Forward operating base one. There were Stormtrooper rifle flashlights at the entrance of the large metal walls.
S267 ran towards her and stopped halfway, shouldering his DTL RX19 sniper rifle and began shooting into the tree line behind her. Out of the rain and darkness rebel blasters started firing back from all directions towards FOB1.
Heavy assault stormtroopers walked out from the entrance and started shooting their Z-6 rotary blaster cannons. The heavy troopers provided cover fire. J149 noticed the heavy Stormtrooper on her right flank. Power armor shields go down and take a barrage of blaster fire from the rebels which lasered off his legs and filled him with holes. Rebel rockets were shot from the tree tops which exploded into the automated sentries.
J149 and S267 quickly ran and made it through the entrance of FOB1; the heavy troops were cut down by the sniper blasts to the head. The base's tower defenses began to counter fire at the Rebel invaders all over the treeline.
J149 followed S267 up the walls' metal stairs to defend; there were many Stormtroopers running to defense positions. Heavy blasts knocked out the spotlights. The Rebels in the clearing and tower Stormtroopers were shooting as blaster fire would open up from the darkness. J149 placed her Sniper rifle over the metal barrier and peered through the scope.
J149 spotted a horned head Zarbrak rebel in the night vision scope pulling the trigger the rifles blast hit spot on and the rebel dropped headless around his unit which ran and ducked for cover. S267 said to her while she continued to blast into the treeline.
“Letting off flares close your eyes.”
J149 ducked for cover and hit the exhaust port on her cooling compartment of the Sniper rifle.
She stood back up and saw the red flare revealed thousands of rebel troops and Ewoks approaching. The Imperials began to open fire from the wall and towers. J149 looked beyond the clearing down the path and saw Imperial AT ST walkers being used by rebels.
J149 was disgusted by the sight of the savage bears and rebels sitting on top of the walkers approaching. J149 aimed her rifle, picking out the walker's rebel unit standing lookout in the top hatch. As the walker stepped down the path which made it a hard shot. J149 let her air out from her lungs and slowly pulled the trigger. The rifle shot missed as the AT ST stepped up and over a fallen tree. The laser hit the Ewok sitting by the troops left side, knocking his little bear body flying from the top of the AT ST. S267 spoke to her.
“This is not looking good, with death star 2 gone this situation is hopeless we need to speak to command!”
“Death star 2 was destroyed?”
J149 asked as she followed S267 down from the wall and followed him to the command center. They passed Imperial resource cargo crates, forklifts, mining equipment, fuel canisters, confiscated rebel ships and prisoner holds.
J149 followed S267 through the sliding doors of the base and saw death troopers all being deployed and officers and command center engineers packing up the command center.
S267 found the first Imperial officer grabbing him by the shoulder and turning him around.
“What's going on sir!”
The frightened officer looked them in the eyes.
“You didn't hear?”
“Hear what?”
“The rebels destroyed our power and shield generators, the Death Star 2 was destroyed, the emperor was killed and the worst part is that our back up power is running low.”
The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.
S267 shook the gray imperial officer.
“We got thousands of rebels and Ewoks coming down on us. The base will be lost in a matter of moments. What do we do?”
“We have received an encrypted transmission order to return to our secret Imperial research center on Jakku , there is an evacuation star destroyer waiting for us all to board.”
“Will there be enough room for all of us troopers on the Shuttle?”
“No, there will be one coming down to pick up the rest of you, officers and commanders are leaving on the first shuttle.”
S267 let go of the officer while saying to him.
“See you on Jakku scum.”
The officer ran and out of the emptied Command center making his way to the shuttle with all the other officers and commanders.
“What do we do now?”
J149 asked S267 as they walked back out of the command center.
“We hold out.”
S267 said as the walls of FOB1 began to take massive amounts of damage. J149 turned to see a huge explosion hit the wall. There was one Heavy assault commando that was commanding the forces on the wall to get down.
“Get down from the wall they are using the AT ST Cannons!”
A huge fiery explosion filled the night sky and lit up the Imperial base. J149 uncovered her eyes and saw the walls and towers were destroyed. There were Stormtrooper body parts and armor laying everywhere.
S267 and J149 ran towards the downed Heavy assault commando. S267 walked around the scrap of wall metal that was on top of the trapped Heavy assault commando.
“Come help me get this off him.”
S267 said to J149 as she walked around and began to help him lift the metal off the trapped commando.
“Help get this junk off me, I will not die like this!”
The heavy assault commando said to them as they got the metal off his side. The heavy commando rolled over and stood up with the help from J149 and S267.
“You alright A601?”
“Now I am.”
A601 picked up his heavy blaster cannon and began to charge up the blaster as the spool spun around. Imperial troops fired at the blast opening of the wall. J149 bent down on one knee, took her rifle to her shoulder and fired at the charging Ewoks. S267 open fired as well standing above J149. The blast hole in the base's metal wall was constantly bombarded and shot by Imperial troops. The Imperial shuttle began to take off and as the landing gear was retracted the Imperial shuttle was hit by all the AT ST cannons exploding it mid air. The spacecraft fell back to the forest ground in a fiery blaze.
J149 looked at S267 and said with panic.
“The base is lost, we must flee!”
“We have orders to stay and fight till the last Imperial trooper.”
“The emperor is dead, we lost, there are no more orders.”
J149 saw Imperial troops fleeing for the confiscated rebel ships. The AT ST’s were quick to react and started to explode the ships. J149 covered and slightly fell to the side from the shockwave of the rippling explosions. Looking up from the ground J149 saw the Death troopers running in and detonating thermal explosives to destroy the AT ST’s. The explosives exploded and caught the AT ST’s while they were by the fuel canisters. A loud and huge explosion rocked the base killing many of the defending Imperial troops and invading Rebel troops.
J149 looked up as A601 ran up to her and helped her stand back up. The base was on fire and there were few Imperial troops left. J149 looked at S267 and his armor had a large metal shard in his stomach. He was unconscious. J149 dropped her rifle on the ground by her side as she knelt beside S267 shaking him.
“Get up S267!”
“Leave him, we gotta escape!”
“I Can’t just leave!”
“We have no..”
The heavy Assault trooper was hit by a poison arrow in the back. A601 spun around shooting his blaster cannon, mowing down a line of Ewoks shooting bows and charging in.
The heavy blaster cannon sent chunks of blood and fur into the air as the lasers cut into the herd of fierce blood covered Ewoks.
Rebel blasters began to fire back at A601. His shields dropped and he bent down to one knee and activated a power arm shield. Blocking the shots his shield turned bright red protecting J149. another Assault trooper threw his impact explosives at the firing line of Rebels.
S267 awoke and grabbed J149 holding onto her.
“You gotta get out of here.”
“I can’t leave you, you're a brother to me.”
“Listen to me, I'm dying, you're gonna die to maybe even worse at the hands of the rebels, I don’t want that kind of death for my sister.”
J149 hugged on S267.
“I will be alone without you.”
S267 started to fade away, J149 started to feel his body becoming less tense.
“no … noo..no… what's my order’s… S267 what are my final orders.”
J149 saw him with his last bit of life lean up to say to her in his weary voice.
“Survive… find the others on Jakku… that's your first order… your final order is to avenge my death…”
S267’s body went limp and J149 saw his weak signal die out on her scans.
“RUN, get out of here!”
A601 yelled to her and he kept up his suppressive fire from a crouched position. J149 picked up her rifle and started to run towards the opposite end of the base. She was half way towards the end of the base when the heavy blaster stopped firing. Tears fell down her face as she ran her hate for the rebels burning into her soul.
J149 saw the back entrance and pulled the emergency hatch lever and combat rolled out onto the forest growth. Crushing large green ferns in the process. She continued running through the wet jungle under the cover of night and she heard horns and Ewoks still behind her.
