Chapter 34 - Flames

"Go, go, go!!!"

The clones broke through the end of the sewers, and a good number of barricades was waiting for them.

During the weeks he battled in Geonosis and on Alaris Prime Dageer senses have sharpened, and his battle abilities have become much better. So has his aim.

Dageer exited the sewers and immediately dropped to the ground. A volley of laser fire flew over him. Some clones who weren't as fast as him fell, their armour melted and the flesh beneath it carbonized.

Dageer quickly aimed and shot three times. Three droids fell. Besides him Cell threw a thermal detonator. The metalic ball landed near an E-Web turret.

"Eat this clanckers!"

Clones started pouring out of the sewers and spreading out. They fell one after another, some hurt and some dead. However their sacrifice wasn't in vain as their brothers pushed the droids back more and more.

They were now inside the building (the end of the sewers was on an open area), and this gave the droids less maneuverability. General Di went to Dageer side, still waving his blue lightsaber.

"Dageer! I am taking some men to the control room. You take the rest and and go to the main path. Open the gate and catch the droids from behind."

"Yes General!"

General Di took a group of twenty clones and turned left on the next junction. Dageer, now commanding the rest of the clones, went on a straight path, sending small groups when they faced a junction to make sure they wouldn't be flanked.

The sensor station wasn't that big, so it didn't take long for them to arrive at the gate control room. The problem was that there was a few hundreds of droids between them. Dageer didn't have any other option besides ordering a frontal attack.

He positioned his DC-15A and changed it to automatic-fire mode. Blue laser absolutely crushed the nearest droids as more than a hundred clones fired.

Red laser was returned, and clones started to fall. Dageer would pop out every now and then, killing one or two droids each time, however the battle was entering on a stalemate. It was at this moment that one clone went up to him.

"Sir! I have an idea, but I need your support."

"What is it trooper?"

"If I have one or two clones help me, I can get..."

Dageer approved the idea, sending a group of clones to help. The battle extended for a few more minutes before the clone returned.

He was carrying, with the help of two other clones, one of the E-Webs, now out of its tripod. The heavy turret weighted so much that the three clones were actually struggling and shaking to carry it.

Dageer ordered the clones to give some cover fire, and when the time was right he gave the clone a signal. The clone stepped on the middle of the path and warmed up the E-Web.

"Knock, knock!"

BRUUUMMMMMM!!!

The laser the turret spammed was so concentrated that it actually turned on a continuous red flow. The droid defences and themselves were literally torned apart. The clone was laughing maniacally as he fired, but at such a firing rate the barrel of the E-Web turned orange and them red, and the clones were forced to leave it before it blew up.

After the mad barrage of laser the few dozen remaining droids weren't able to put up a fight and were quickly destroyed. Dageer went to the clone, who was being complimented by the others.

"What is your name trooper?"

"Metal, sir."

"Welcome to Hell Squad Metal. Come on lads! We still have brothers fighting outside! Commander Keeli invited us to the party!"

"What?! Sir, I alredy have a..."

Dageer ignored him, and fired at the control panel. It sparked and the main gate started to open. The clones lined up, Hell Squad on the front, weapons ready to give the droids hell.
