The 501st Legion, A Star Wars Story

Chapter 9, The Generals

Xeno, Duple, Thirty-Ninety, Sparky, Brek, Dixter, and myself were all running down the hallway, the entire Zeta Squad and a couple of old friends all joining together for a mission. This wasn't just any mission, this was a mission assigned by Captain Rex himself, one that could turn the tides of this entire invasion. If this mission fails, everything we've accomplished and done will be all for nothing. I looked around me seeing my brothers dedicated to win this final part of the mission, as we each blasted each clanker through the hallway.

We stopped at the end of the corridor and made a line behind the Sarge our backs to the wall, waiting for this all to end. I turned to Xeno. "So, what's the plan?"

"Well, as far as I can think of the command center shouldn't be that far." Xeno responded.

Brek looked at Xeno, "And how exactly are we supposed to get through all these droids?"

"I haven't gotten that far just yet..." Xeno said.

"Well I say we split into groups again." Duple said.

"Are you crazy, we just saved your sorry behinds and now you're asking to be captured again?" Sparky exclaimed.

"Well of course not, we'll just-"

"QUIET!" Said Xeno.

"We're all going to finish this together, as a TEAM, no lone-wolves here anymore got that?" He finished.

"Yes, Sir!" They all said.

"Great another suicide mission..." Brek mumbled under his breath.

"Good. Now, look closely." Xeno looked at me signaling me to pull out the holomap of the base, the holomap was placed on the ground as it formed in the middle having us circled around it.

Xeno pointed at certain hallways. "These areas will be the most guarded along with many cameras since it leads straight to the command center. In order to keep the rest of the forces unknown of our location we will take out each camera within each of the hallways."

Xeno sighed. "...And I cannot stress this enough, if ANY of you gets caught by the camera we're all dead men, we CANNOT let them spot us. Do I make myself crystal clear?"

"SIR YES SIR!" We said.

"Good. Sparky, Sharp, and Dixter, you guys will be covering the front while Thirty-Ninety, Duple, and Brek will be covering the rear." Xeno said.

"And what about you, Sarge?" I said.

"I'll be in the middle of course, to make sure you boys ain't messin' around."

"Messing around? Do we ever?" Sparky laughed.

Xeno stared at Sparky for a moment, as Sparky stopped knowing he was serious.

"Right...sorry." Sparky said.

"Alright, enough talking, let's get moving!" Xeno yelled getting everyone in formation.

The squad got in formation that each of us assigned, I was in the middle of the front part while Sparky and Dixter were beside me. All of us were nervous, I was even sweating under my armor here and there it was a tense situation. If one of us were to stop paying attention for just a split second our entire position will be compromised, but I trusted in every single one of my brothers.
