Chapter 5 - Queen's Escape 1

Diesel slowly made his way towards the Communications Tower, wiping out small patrols of droids here and there along the way. He sets up about one and a half blocks away from the tower, noticing that the tower has around one hundred droids standing nearby surrounding the front entrance.

"Queen Amidala I'm in position, I will start my assault on the tower, drawing as many towards my location as possible."

"Diesel please be safe and retreat if it becomes too much."

"Go, I'll be fine these droids are literally nothing compared to the Covenant trust me." Diesel ends up shutting off his communicator and notices in square a bunch of Civies and Royal Guards assuming they were the ones defending the tower. Thinking on how to handle the situation...

"Sir we have received orders to help you with the tower by the Queen." Diesel looks up at his motion sensors and just realized that the two Guards who helped save the Queen followed him.

"You should be helping the Queen escape."

"Sorry Sir, Orders are Orders and honestly your fighting was inspiring and we both wish to follow you anyways."

"Very well, are you able to lure the droids and I'll take care of the tank."

"Yes Sir!" Both guards make their way from building to building getting across the street from the first checkpoint that happens to be one block away from the tower itself. "Sir, Diesel they have around twenty droids and obviously the tank sir."

"Let's start." The two Royal palace guards opened fire on the unsuspecting droids instantly taking out two of the twenty droids before being fired upon themselves and slowly retreated. With the attention of the droids being focus on the guards Diesel immediately began sprinting towards the tank launching himself into the air landing upon the top of the tank. Diesel reached down on the latch tearing it open and dropping his last fragmentation grenade, taking out all the droids inside the tank.

"You two wrap around and save the guards there are only five droids protecting them now. I leave it to you."

"You sure Sir? We can help!"

"Orders! Go!" With that being said Diesel falls back around the checkpoint forcing the droids to get as close as possible allowing for the two guards to get as much space as they can away from the responding force allowing for an easier time to save the hostages. As the force got closer, Diesel looked around thinking to himself 3/4 of a block will have to be enough.
