章節 108: Storming the Hideout
The moment Commander Keeli opened his mouth, Dageer knew Hell Squad wasn't going to have an easy job. But he didn't think Commander Keeli would throw them right in the middle of the attack force. Even more so after Commander Fox had said only the Coruscant Guard would take part on the attack, and the other legions would be bait.
"If I ain't wrong, none of you, including the Coruscant Guard have a special unit. Hell Squad, led by Dageer here, helped take down a Battlesphere on Geonosis, and their ranks weren't even full at the time. They are the elite of the elite of the 303rd. Besides, they have experience in close combat."
Commander Fox was pensive. It was true none of the other legions had a special squad since it was too early to sort out the best men of an entire legion.
"They were turned on a special unit by General Windu himself. At the time, I wasn't even aware of their potential."
That was enough for Commander Fox. Since a jedi had recognized their capabilities, it was worth giving a try.
"How many?"
Dageer stepped forward this time, since this was a question concerning the unit under his command.
"Seven, including myself. We are prepared for any circumstances."
"I can assert for them. If it wasn't for Hell Squad on our left flank, we would have lost many more on Mon Cala."
With the intervention of Commander Monnk, Commander Fox finally accepted it.
"You have to follow my orders, understood?"
Dageer looked at Commander Keeli, and once he nodded, made a salute to Commander Fox.
"Yes, sir."
"All right. The plan will follow that line, then. Bly, take the 327th to sector D108, Gree, to..."
-----------------------
It was dawn of the next day when the clones put their plan into action. It is worth mentioning that five more Coruscant Guard members went missing, even with the clones in high alert.
One by one, the 303rd Attack Legion, the 41st Elite Corps, the 327th Star Corps, the 212th Attack Battalion and the Coruscant Guard started searching randomly for the ones capturing the clones. The SCUBA Troopers under Commander Monnk stayed at the headquarters to give the impression everything was normal.
It would be difficult for anyone to notice there was a reason behind the searches the clone legions were conducting. That is because they were really random. Aside from the commanders and sub-commanders, no other clone knew the hideout of the gang. Besides, following the plan devised by Commander Fox, all the legions were quite a distance away from the real action.
...
In an abandoned warehouse on level A67, eighty Coruscant guards, and Hell Squad were listening to Commander Fox.
"We are at the last level where the Coruscant Guard have some sort of presence. The moment we step outside, every criminal on Coruscant will know we are here. We will have to be fast, and arrive at their hideout before they can react. No one will mess with the Coruscant Guard apart from the gang we will face. Remember, identfty the leader, take him alive. We have permission to use lethal-fire against the rest."
The plan wasn't difficult, but things could go wrong at any moment. Commander Fox said the scum that lived in the underground of Coruscant wouldn't fight them, but Dageer wasn't so sure. Anyway, they had a plan, they had a target and they had their orders. Hell Squad needed nothing else.
"Hell Squad, Commander Keeli spoke highly of you. Dageer, I need you to be serious, and cautious with the answer to the question I am about to ask."
"Yes, sir."
"Can you be our frontline? You need to be sure. One step wrong and you will be in trouble."
Dageer looked at Hell Squad, but he couldn't see their faces under their helmets. He put his own helmet on his head, the single horn painted on it being very eye-catching.
"They won't even know what hit them, sir."
"Good. Coruscant Guard, let's move!"
The clones got in two different police transports, and the doors of the warehouse opened. As the two transports flew out, many citizens scurried to get out the way, and some even threw curses at the clones. But quite a few instantly took out their communicators, and started passing messages.
One of them, in special, uttered a very specific message.
"The worms are coming! They know where we keep our worms!"
----------------------
It took mere seconds for the two transports to descend on the big holes that led to the depths of Coruscant. After that, they hurried to the address provided by the snitch, almost running over the pedestrians.
For a few moments, Dageer had the chance to see the poverty of the Republic. The streets were dark, and the people looked like the worst of the worst. Dageer saw at least three different crimes happening.
Their objective, a warehouse similar to the one they just left, came into view. A human was at the door, hearing someone through a communicator. The moment the transports turned the corner, the man opened the door of the warehouse and tried to run inside.
"Dab!"
"Got him!"
A blaster shot from Dab's DC-15x later, and the man fell to the ground with a smoking hole on his back.
Before the transport even stopped, Hell Squad had already jumped out. Dageer yelled at the civilians nearby to get away, and approached the warehouse.
"Brain, Tech, your turn!"
Through the door the man had left opened, Tech threw a kind of smoke bomb, that immediately triggered a volley of lasers from the inside. Without showing himself, Brain threw the real grenades, blowing up anyone near the entrance.
Dageer and Cell jumped in, and rolled over their shoulders, dodging another volley of lasers and immediately responding with fire from their own.
Knees on the ground, Dageer took down one enemy to his left. Meanwhile, Metal followed them in, his Z-6 cutting down the gang members like they were dummies on a training field.
The smoke impacted Dageer's vision a little, but the problem was much worse for the enemies, who didn't have helmets. Within seconds, ten gangsters were killed, but more keep popping out. When Dageer thought that maybe Hell Squad had been too bold, Commander Fox arrived.
"Dageer, when I said 'frontline', I didn't mean get yourself killed! Watch out!"
Commander Fox was followed by many Coruscant Guard clones, but one of them was hit the moment he stepped inside the warehouse. Dageer and Commander Fox had the same reaction, which was shooting the enemy hidden behind a pillar.
