"Move move!" A rebel soldier screams as blaster fire rips up the ground behind another who was running for cover.

He takes cover behind the corner of a building and Stormtroopers keep firing. The hover tank fires at the building and the corner explodes. Debris flies all around and the soldier is launched. He coughs as another runs over and helps him up.

"What're we gonna do sergeant!?" One of the soldiers yells to Kahl who was pinned down behind another building with Griff, Hersh and Ramirez.

"Troy, take Markow, Damon, Lammers and Katrina and head back to base! Tell them we need help!" Kahl yells before an explosion tears up the ground around him and he's sent flying back among debris from the building and Stormtroopers move forward and gun down 3 more soldiers as Kahl stands up with Griff, Hersh and Ramirez.

They shoot down 3 Stormtroopers before they start running again. Troy looks at the other rebels around him and he nods.

"Let's move!" He yells before blaster fire starts flying around them.

He turns and shoots a Stormtrooper down and they start running. A few Stormtroopers start after them but are stopped by another trooper.

"Sir! They're splitting up! What should we do?" One asks the lieutenant.

"Send the tank after the first group. Take a squad after the others." The lieutenant orders the troops and they nod before running off after Troy's group.

The lieutenant followed behind the tank with a few men and looks down at a rebel who's legs were buried by pieces of brick from the wall that was blown apart. He looks up at the lieutenant who stares back at him. He unholsters his SE-14C and shoots the rebel then keeps moving. Troy turns around and shoots down a Stormtrooper and they keep running.

"We can't lead them back to base!" Lammers yells.

"He's right! We have to take them out!" Katrina yells.

"Right! But on our terms!" Troy yells.

"What do you mean?" Damon asks.

"Follow me. Through that building over there." Troy points to a large house and they run over.

They smash the window and climb through.

"Set up a position here, at the window in there and me and Katrina will set up at the door and that window." Troy says.

Lammers sets up a position at the kitchen window with Damon and Markow sets up one at the living room window and they take aim and wait for the pursuing imperial team. The Stormtroopers finally walk into view and one with the black pauldron displaying the rank sergeant looks around and leads the squad. Damon puts his finger on the trigger and aims at the Stormtrooper's head.

"Hold your fire." Troy says as he takes aim at another trooper walking by behind the sergeant.

The rest of the team walks into view and Katrina looks at Troy.

"Not yet....hold....hold...." he says and watches as a Stormtrooper moves from in front of a Stormtrooper carrying explosives on his chest.

"Now!" He yells and fires.

He shoots the trooper with explosives across his chest and he's ripped apart and the blast kills 3 others. Damon shoots the sergeant down in the head and shoots 2 others dead. Markow guns down 2 who were running for cover and Lammers shoots another one who was fleeing in the back and Katrina shoots another down as 4 take cover behind the corner of a building.
