The droids on the walls finally started shooting at them. It was at this moment that Commander Keeli said something that made Dageer think he was crazy, and he himself even more by following it.
"Run to the walls!"
"What?!"
However, he ran. Possibility the stupid idea of his short life, as he was now stuck between a solid and tall wall and dozens of E-5s. And then Commander Keeli threw one of his DC-17s to him.
"Use the hooks!"
Light struck Dageer mind. The idea was at the same time ingenious and crazy, but it could work. Actually, Dageer felt it would work.
Commander Keeli aimed his weapon to one of the holes in the wall from which droids were shooting. The he clicked some button and a metal cable, with a 'x' shaped head penetrated the thinner metal pieces that made the border of the hole.
Using both his arms, Commander Keeli started climbing his way up. Dageer found the hook button on the DC-17 and fired it, the recoil stronger than he thought, making his aim go up a little.
The cable went directly through the window, and hit something inside. Dageer pulled it to make sure it was strong enough to take on his weight. The cable dragged something for a little, and then tensed up. Dageer ignored his uneasiness and started climbing.
The droids on the outside had turned and fired at him and Commander Keeli, and lasers hit around him, one even grazing his shoulder, leaving a dark mark on it, but not hurting him. Slightly above him, Commander Keeli had reached the holes, and pulled himself inside. Immediately laser fire was heard, and somehow one B1 droid was thrown out. Dageer reached the hole, and mimicking Commander Keeli, held onto the sides, detached the cable, and pulled himself.
On the walls there was actually only a metal floor, going all around the base, with stairs here and there. It was only a couple meters wide, so two careless steps could lead to a ten meters fall. From above, Dageer could see the ground level of the air base, on which were a few Vulture droids and, of course, the C-9979.
And there were also droids, many of them. On the top, where Dageer and Commander Keeli were, droids were divided into groups of five, one group on each hole. Dageer had hit one of those droids with the cable, and the hook trespassed his front and appeared on his back.
Maybe because of the loud noise outside, only the nearest droids have noticed them, giving the chance for them to clear up the droids on their side. Dageer used the DC-17, faster and better for close distances, and shot the droids point blank.
Commander Keeli was doing the same, and when his ammo was over he used the butt of his DC-17 to back punch one of the droids, sending him tumbling backwards, and getting on the way of the others. He picked up one of the droids E-5, and knelt down, turning and firing to the other side.
Dageer was a bit more violent when the ammunition of his DC-17 was over. He dropped it and picked up his DC-15A, which he had put on his back to climb, grabbed it by the barrel, and swung it like a club. The unlucky droid he had chosen was sent flying, out of the wall and onto the ground one level below.
Dageer twirled his gun around, and fired, so close to the droids that the blue laser passed through the first droid and hit the second.
Their side of the wall was now clear, but the small skirmish was enough to attract not only the droids in the other walls but also those onto the ground, who where surrounding the droid Dageer had thrown down.
