Zirex muttered Mandalorian curses and he ran up the stairs of a building that he had been backed into. He could hear the sound of Stormtroopers running up the stairs behind him. "Can't you all take a joke?!" He shouted in exasperation as he grabbed both blasters and turned around and began spraying blaster fire. "When I said the Empire could kark itself I was talking about Palpatine! Not you fine gentlemen!"

He could hear shouting behind him as the Stormtroopers began to fire at him and he was forced to take cover around a corner. He could hear certain words being shouted above the sounds of the blaster fire and one of those words was "Grenade"

[i]Oh kark me.[/i] he thought as he whipped around the corner and unleashed a barrage of blaster fire that he hoped would either force them to fall back a bit or possibly hit the grenade that may have already been thrown.

He got his answer a moment later as a loud booming sound was heard and shrapnel seemed to fill the area and the screams of the Stormtroopers filled the air. Zirex took the opportunity to continue running up the stairs. There was no telling if the stormtroopers were down for good.
