After hurriedly swimming towards the nearest AT-AT, you and Cal managed to grab hold of some tough vines that had grown all over the exterior of the giant imperial walker.
"Woah," You gripped tightly to the vines as the walker took a step forwards, throwing off your balance.
"You alright down there?" Cal called from above you.
"Yep! Keep going. I'm right behind you!" You called up.
After having made it to the top of the walker, despite the minor disturbance of a guerilla fighter nearly blasting Cal, you noticed a trooper keeping watch at the butt-end of the AT-AT.
You scoffed. Clearly he'd been doing a lousy job, having not noticed you and Cal, previously swimming in the water below.
Cal aproached carefully to take the trooper down while their back was turned, but before he could, another guerilla fighter blasted them straight off the walker, causing you to duck and cover your head in panic, as the blast had whizzed past the top of your head.
Cal looked back at you and waved you over to the entrance hole into the walker. You hopped down, after Cal.
Inside, there was an entrence way, in which you had to hop over a speeder-bike that was stored away and continue down till there was a trap door over your head, where you heard voices coming from above.
Cal cracked open the trap door to check it out. Troopers were huddled around a body of one of their fellow troopers while one reported the fatality to their higher-up.
Cal turned to you and nodded before lifting the trap door open and hopping out.
"It's the jedi!" A trooper shouted. They began firing as you emerged out of the trap door entrance.
"Another!" One cried as Cal began striking them down with his saber.
One ran towards you, firing at you. You outstretched your hand and threw him against the wall to knock him out with the force before you even needed to reach for your lightsaber. By the time his body dropped, Cal had already finished with the others.
"Nice job." You complimented.
"You too. Through here. C'mon." Cal waved you over to a circular door, which you thought must be the 'neck' portion of the walker.
Cal opened the door, and sure enough, it lead to the cockpit (the head of the walker).
Inside, were two piloting troopers. Cal began crawling through the door quietly, turning to you with his finger pressed to his lips, signaling you to stay silent. You nodded.
"Reading a new ship on scanners." One said.
"They brought more firepower than we thought. How's our hull looking?" The other asked.
"Badly damaged. We're at seventy percent integrity and falling." The first one informed, meanwhile Cal and BD were silently communicating to form a distraction.
"That should still be enough to stomp out of these insurgents. Keep us steady!" The second one ordered. BD-1 hopped betweed the two troopers seats, beeping something like 'what's up, guys?'
"Huh?" The troopers both turned to the droid in confusion. Cal grabbed either side of their bucket heads and clanked them together, knocking them out easily. You snorted with laughter, covering your mouth in embarrassment. Cal turned to you and chuckled.
"Can't believe that actually worked." He said, taking the seat to the left, while you took the one on the right, kicking the troopers body out of your way. "Okay, uh, throttle-" Cal attempted to familiarize his surroundings, but a transmission came in.
