Chapter 10 - AAT

The AAT shot one more time, making another group of clones scatter. CT-4063 took cover behind the flaming remains of a Dwarf Spider-droid.

"We need to take that thing down or it will kill us all! Where is the bazooka?!"

One of the clones gestured backwards. On the sand forty meters away was an RPS-6 Rocket Launcher. On the middle of the battle it was impossible to get to it.

"There is no way we can get that back sir! Anyone who tries will become a sieve!"

CT-4063 had to think fast. His men lives were depending on him coming up with a plan. His head was buzzing. There was to much noise for him to think.

"Ahhh!"

One of Hell Squad men was down. On the middle of the white helmet was a hole. Even through his own helmet CT-4063 could smell the scent of cauterized flesh. That clicked something on his mind.

Seeing one of the clones under his command, one of his brothers, die because he could not think fast enough was brutal. He had to do something. And he did.

"CT-2981, contact the leaders of Onix and Melt squads. They are closer to our position. We will need their cover fire if we want my plan to work."

"And what plan is that sir?"

"You will know. Now do it. Fast"

CCT-2981 took out his communicator. Even under his helmet he could sense that CT-4063 was about to do something crazy.

"This is CT-2981 from Hell Squad. We need support now! We are going to take down this AAT!"

Through the communicator came a doubtful voice.

"Do you have a plan Hell Squad?"

CT-2981 looked at his commander, who gave am affirmative nod. He hesitated a little before anwsering.

"We do. But we need your help now."

"We are going."

CT-4063 looked to the AAT. It was a hundred or so meters away, ahead of the droids line. There were some B1 battle droids and four B2 super battle droids around it. He needed to clear those first if he wanted to be alive after his plan.

While he was looking the AAT fired again, this time somewhere to his left and behind. From the screams it had gotten another hit.

Fifteen meters to his right and about twelve to his left the members of Onix and Melt squads arrived, not without losing one or two members. Their leaders noded at him and started enganging the droids.

He looked around. Eight members of Hell Squad were there. They have lost two before even making it to their objective. That was not a good start.

He beckoned to CT-2981.

"Start with the cover fire as soon as I go. Those droids need to be dead before I get to the AAT."

"Sir, what are you thinking? Let me go with you... Wait!"

CT-2981 couldn't even finish before CT-4063 jumped over the dead Dwarf Spider-droid and started running to the AAT.
