Keeping my aim steady, my Power Beam unlocked and did its magic. Five targets automatically locked on after I moved my arm around. I didn't feel sorry for these droids as I fired off another round of Seeker Missiles. I didn't feel sorry for these droids. Woosh. Woosh. Woosh!
"What the? Sniper incoming. Ahhh---!?", One of the targeted droids tried to relay to the others in its patrol. BANG!
It was quite funny to see a Seeker Missile just dunk on a droid from the head down, and create a miniature explosion, leaving only its legs behind. Just how much would a Super Missile do here? I'm genuinely curious.
Of these two patrols, there were seven droids total, which tried to scout our position. Five booms echoed around them. Thire initially killed one, so that left six. All five of my Seeker Missiles managed to hit their target. A sole droid was left in shatters, spinning its head around.
"W-Where did everyone go?", The droid asked, still in disbelief. Even the clones were surprised seeing two patrols so quickly wiped out. Yet the droid's attention was brought somewhere else. It saw a little green alien swiftly jumping around on the nearby rocks. "T-that's the little green life form the Supreme Leader was referring to. Ahhh---!?", The droid pointed toward Yoda.
Unfortunately for the last remaining droid, it couldn't even blast him before Yoda swooped down, mimicking the path my missiles took. Igniting his lightsaber, a green hum swirled around it. Shhhing!
Metal being torn apart reached our ears. In one swift motion, Yoda swung the saber, cleaving the droid's head apart. Sparks flew, and its body slumped downward right then and there after spending a moment trying to figure out where its head went.
"Nice work team.", Thire said, taking a moment to celebrate this first victory.
"Stay wary, we must. Only the first wave, that was. More troops will advance, I fear.", Yoda said, keeping up his stance. I remained in the tree, and saw that Yoda's words were in fact, true. This first victory only lasted for a moment.
"There's a second wave incoming. Twice the number this time. They're spreading out, so I suggest a diversion. Bigger ones too.", I said, seeing several more droids start marching in our direction, it was about twenty to twenty five this time.
"Just great. When you take one group down, they just create more. That's how those Seppies can get you.", Thire said, retreating back to a nearby tree, as did the other two clones.
"Go, I will. Stay here, you four will.", Yoda said, offering himself to become the diversion.
"You heard him. Standby and wait for my signal!", Thire commanded.
Hearing that, my eyes remained on the second wave of droids that were approaching our direction. Eventually a couple patrols veered off into a different direction in an attempt to corner us. We had seen through that, and Yoda swiftly vanished into the trees, becoming the diversion he suggested earlier.
"How many more rounds you got, Shooter?", Thire asked, looking up my way.
"Two-hundred and sixty left before I'm out of ammo.", I answered, causing Thire to suck in a cold breath of air.
"Heh. We might not even need to bring out the big guns. You're a walking starfighter, you know that, right? You could wipe out half a battalion alone with that gun of yours.", Thire said, complimenting me.
"Shall we give that a shot? We have some heavier armored troops incoming. Ten of them. I'm very curious to see how they'll respond if we wipe them out in one fell swoop.", I suggested.
"Very well. We'll proceed with your plan, Shooter. Prepare your fire!", Thire commanded me. I simply smiled.
'Now let's see how a Super Missile does against the bigger ones. I think the clones call them, 'Clankers'?', I thought to myself, and began to take aim.
My eyes remained locked on the targets. They were closely grouped together, which would only be their downfall. During my demonstration, I used ten missiles total. Seeker Missiles use five, and Super Missiles, to my surprise, also use five. They don't have their own capacity like you'd see in Super Metroid. It just uses the standard missile count, and condenses them to shoot a Super Missile. You'd see this in Prime.
I positioned myself high on one of the coral's spirals, overlooking the partially opened field. The droids crept closer, and are steady. The smaller droids had already parted off to the left side, venturing off to where Yoda was. I could hear lightsaber strikes in our near distance.
Following some clunks, I prepared my shot. The ten or so armored droids were within range.
"Target acquired. Taking the shot.", I declared. My Power Beam activated itself once again, and a green hue appeared around it. WOOOOSH!
A single Super Missile shot off, igniting a brilliant green color. It left a fiery trail, roaring across the field.
"The shot has been taken. Open fire!", Thire commanded his other two clones.
"Eat this you damn Clankers!", Jek exclaimed, bringing out his own blaster cannon that we were able to salvage from the pod.
"Targets found. Engaging combat---!?", The nearby armored droids said, seeing blaster fire and a big missile being shot their way.
Unfortunately for them, a massive explosion wrung in our ears, delivering devastating damage. With the help of the three clones and my Power Beam, the entire armored patrol unit was wiped clean, leaving nothing behind. BOOOM!
This explosion echoed around us for a good moment, leaving us agape.
"Holy shit. You could definitely take out some tanks with those, Shooter. I almost feel sorry for those Clankers. They couldn't even fire back.", Thire said, seeing the destruction we had just caused.
It sure was a powerful attack, alright. It left me satisfied. I could fire off around fifty-five of these Super Missiles, and easily turn the tide of war in our favor. All that separated each shot was a few second cooldown. If someone is covering my position like these clones here, I could really become a sniper, and pitch in where things looked unfavorable.
All the while why we secured this second victory, we heard more lightsaber strikes sound off nearby, finishing off the rest of the droids. Yoda didn't take long to return to our position.
As we continued our slow and steady advance, closer to the heart of the gigantic coral tree that overlooked the rest of the moon...
Several figures could be seen, including Ventress. A hologram was currently active, showing a single droid.
"Those Jedi destroyed our advanced troops.", The droid reported. Hearing the report, a grinning Toydarian could be seen whose appearance was much more regal than the rest. This was King Katuunko, who was observing this ongoing challenge. He couldn't help but laugh while he looked at Ventress beside him.
"Hah! Master Yoda is living up to my expectations.", King Katuunko said with a laugh. Ventress simply ignored him, and spoke to the droid.
"Commander, have you pinpointed the Jedi's location?", Ventress asked.
"Affirmative. The clones gave away their position. It looks like they recruited a sniper too, we have yet to locate their position. Our third wave including heavy troops are moving to engage them.", The droid responded.
"So the Jedi received some outside help, huh? Two can play that game...", Ventress murmured to herself.
All King Katuunko did was fly ahead a little bit, and moved his goggles onto his eyes, wanting to observe the ongoing battle himself. As he began to observe the battle, a momentary stillness reached their ears before more blaster fire and explosions resounded within the coral forest before them...
