Bab 191: Communications Jammed
Dageer watched the exposed section of the wall that Ragout jumped, then turned to Three-four and ordered the clone to keep an eye open for any changes, as if everyone wasn't already doing that.
"Commander? General Ragout is inside. We are waiting for his signal to move in."
"Roger that. Warn me as soon as you get into action."
"I think you will see it, sir."
------------------------------
A small figure slipped past droid patrols, hiding into the shadows and behind vehicles. Whenever he got to an AAT or a deactivated Dwarf-Spider droid, a green light flashed.
Nobody could see it, but several key components of the vehicles and the droids had been cut by a high-powered weapon, leaving them unusable for days. He had sabotaged about three AATs and six Dwarf-Spider droids when he arrived at his real target.
Looking up-close, the Tri-droids were even more intimidating, and their huge heads spun, each time aiming their laser cannons in a different direction. Since slow cannons had a slow firing rate, Ragout initially thought the Tri-droids would be easy to deal with, but seeing them now, the Togruta understood that they never actually needed to cool down, since they were always switching. That meant they could maintain a steady firing rate.
Verifying that there were no droids nearby, Ragout turned on his lightsaber, and got ready to cut the legs of the nearest Tri-droid. However, he forgot the Tri-droids weren't vehicles, but, well, droids. As soon as the green light of the lightsaber appeared, he was spotted by the huge droids.
Six laser cannons aimed at him as the Tri-droids found the Jedi, their aims constantly shifting. He could deflect one of the huge laser cannons shots, but nor six. So, instead of waiting for them to fire, he did something his master taught him. When surrounded, attack. The enemy won't be expecting, giving you an advantage over them.
This lesson was proved right, as the Tri-droids hesitated when they saw the tiny figure ran towards them. That hesitation cost them enough time so he could get under one of them, and the others couldn't fire without hitting their allies.
The Tri-droid he chose to hide under moved around furiously, trying to both get away from Ragout so it could attack him, and crush him. The commotion quickly attracted the droids, and considering there were eighteen thousand of them, Ragout wasn't very anxious to fight them.
As he became the focus of fire from the nearby B1 units, Ragout deflected the red lasers the best he could. When one of the legs of the Tri-droid almost hit him, he decided that it was enough. Jumping up, he grabbed one leg of the Tri-droid, and flung himself towards another. Slicing with his lightsaber while in the air, a huge chunk of the metal leg fell down. When the Tri-droid tried to put weight on it, the leg broke, almost causing it to fall. Taking advantage of the unbalanced droid, Ragout pulled back both his hands, and looked like he was grabbing something with them.
When he pushed his hands forward, a huge force impacted the Tri-droid, bigger and stronger than any Force blast Ragout had ever done before. Several B1 battle droids in the way of the blast were flung away, their bodies breaking in midair, and many more stumbled and fell on the ground.
The Tri-droid, the target of the blast, shook, and slowly started to tilt. His fall became faster, and the huge head impacted on the ground, crushing several droids. Ragout panted with the effort needed to push such a huge thing, but didn't stop.
Running forward, he jumped on top of the droid he just took down, and continued running while holding his lightsaber with the tip aiming at the Tri-droid. Half of the lightsaber penetrated the Tri-droid, and as Ragout ran, a blazing line was left behind.Two laser cannon shots from other Tri-droids hit the fallen one, causing huge holes to appear on its armor.
Ragout somersaulted over a bunch of droids, and landed on top of an AAT. The pilot had the top half of his body out, trying to see what was happening, and Ragout cut his head off. When he was sliding off the tank, he waved his lightsaber, and the tank's barrel was also cut in half. At no time did Ragout stop running, making it almost impossible for the droids to hit him.
--------------------------
Dageer saw the Tri-droids start moving, and instantly ordered the mixed group of 303rd clones and freedom fighters forward. A volley of lasers hit the droids guarding the missing section of wall, taking most of them down. While the clones missed almost no shots, more than half of the Twi'leks hit meters away from their target.
Dageer heard a loud sound, and saw a bright blue light leave Dab's DC-15x as he fired his charged shot, a special modification he built himself.
A B2 super battle droid that was commanding the guards was hit, and a huge hole appeared on its chest, so deep it was possible to see the other side. A millisecond later, the droid exploded, taking down two B1 units next to him.
By the time all this happened, the attackers were just halfway through the missing wall section, but the attack had been sudden and unexpected, and that, coupled with Ragout's distraction, ensured that there weren't that many clanckers near them.
Followed by the others, Dageer dashed towards the nearest cover, and they got there just in time to dodge the incoming lasers. The cloud of red lasers was so big that it was almost impossible for them to show their heads. After all, they were against thousands of droids.
Dageer, however, had already considered that. He looked at his comlink, and signaled to Cell. The scout dropped to the ground, and sneaked past Dageer and the rest. When he was about twenty meters away from the nearest droid, he quietly rolled a thermal detonator that Brain gave to him.
The thermal detonator exploded at the same time several deactivated Dwarf-Spider droids blew up on the other side of the outpost. General Di and Commander Keeli were right in time. Dageer didn't know how well their attack went, but judging by the small number of explosions, the result wasn't that good.
Fortunately, it was enough to distract some of the droids, giving Dageer the chance to show himself, and counterattack. The clones followed suit, and the Twi'leks mimicked them. Before they ducked behind cover again, two clones and a freedom fighter were hit. One of the clones was only injured, while the others died.
"Dageer! Initiate retreat. Get back to the... and we... bzzz... you..."
"Commander! Commander Keeli!"
However, there was no response from the comlink. Clearly, the droids had fought back quicker than General Di had predicted, and jammed their communications. But Dageer got the gist of what his orders were.
"Fall back! Fall back!"
Dageer yelled his commands, and Lieutenant Fondor passed them around. Soon, the group was retreating back to the gap in the wall. Dageer ordered a stop.
"Hold here! We have to wait for the general!"
"Arghhh!"
A clone fell next to him, a smoking hole on his helmet. Dageer quickly took care of the attacker, but hundreds of droids were behind it, and several AATs and Dwarf-Spider droids were starting to turn on, although many just got off the ground before falling again. Probably Ragout's work.
Suddenly, Dageer saw one of the Tri-droids in the distance wave and fall. A small figure jumped on top of it before running again, but his way was paved with droids, forcing him to change directions.
