Chapter 6 - First Battle

CT-4063 and CT-4087 looked at each other. The droids could only be talking about one group of clones. CT-4087 wanted to fire the moment he heard them, but CT-4063 pulled him.

"Wait. There are too many for just us two. Let them pass, then we shoot. That way we should be able to take out three or four before they turn."

After explaning his plans to CT-4087, CT-4087 took out his communicator.

"Squad leader, there is a bunch of droids going your way. They have alredy seen you. You need to find some cover now! CT-4087 and I will shoot them from behind as soon as they start firing."

"Ok then. I hope you and CT-4087 have good aim, otherwise we are dead."

CT-4063 could hear him barking orders eben before he switched off the communicator. Making a sign to Ct-4087, both started to rotate around the rock they were hidding.

As the droids passed through their left they crouched to the right. After they passed CT-4063 and CT-4087 showed their heads over the rock. Both were using the clones army trusted weapon, the long version of DC-15A.

The droids marched for 400 meters before the B2 Super Battle droid gave the firing order. Instantly red lasers started hitting the rocks were squad leader CT-4099 and the other clones were.

Luckly, thanks to CT-4063 timely warning they were alredy crounching behind rocks. Although CT-4063 was almost one kilometer away from the clones position he could clearly see that only one of the clones was hit.

"CT-4087, NOW!"

The moment he gave the order he himself started shooting. Blue laser fire left his weapon, hitting the back of the leftmost B1 battle droid. Without even waiting he fired on the next one, this time he was to anxious and his shot grazed the side of the droid.

Although the DC-15A had a 5 kilometers range, the majority of the clones were accurate at most in a 350 to 400 meters range. CT-4063 being able to hit a droid on his first try was thanks to 5 years of training and him being on a stable position.

On his side CT-4087 have hit another two. Now the droids had turned and started firing. CT-4063 dropped to the ground, rock shards and dust flying around him.

He crawled to the right side, exchanging positions with CT-4087. They waited for five seconds and then appeared on the side of the rock. The droids were firing at the top, so they had a small window to shoot, wich they used.

In less than three seconds three droids have fallen, but they were forced back to cover before they could fire again, by a huge amount of red lasers.

At this moment squad leader CT-4099 and the other 6 clones who were able to shoot started doing it, and the remaining 4 B1 droids plus the B2 Super Battle droid were caught in a crossfire.
