Everything seemed to be going fine, it all seemed as if nothing could go wrong. Aralia knew it was impossible though, nothing ever went completely according to plan. That was when everything went upside down explosions in the air the loud sounds of laser cannons blasting through the air around them. The screaming over the communications. “Damn.” She looked around at the squad and then reached up grabbing a handle holding herself steady , the rest of the squad following suit. The LAAT suddenly shuddered and the pilot started screaming “EVERYONE BRACE FOR IMPACT WE’RE GOING” and then everything turned into a thundering roar all noise suddenly ceasing except the sound of hot metal twisting and snapping under the impact of the LAAT crashing into something. Suddenly a pole punched a hole through the side of the LAAT and straight through the soldier next to her. He didn’t make a sound as his eyes glazed over and he went completely still in his seat.
As the rumbling stopped and everything was still Aralia just stared at the ceiling for what seemed like hours waiting to make sure it was truly all over. A deep breath made her chest rise and finally she undid the straps and stood the rest of the soldiers following suit. One by one the soldiers and Aralia opened their eyes and they found themselves in the middle of a building the ship having come to a stop in a group of office cubicles. A few dead lay in the path of where the LAAT had crashed through the building though none of the body parts were recognizable. Aralia’s first action was to bring up the communicator and spoke into it calmly as possible “This is Bantha squad we have crash landed inside of a building, I’m not sure where. Requesting FRAC orders.” She looked around at the other soldiers all of them sweating and shaking with adrenaline that was still coursing through their veins.
A noise sounded behind them and a elevator door opened up a Imperial officer in his black uniform followed by a small squad of storm troopers stepped out. The first one to go down was the officer blood gurgling out of his mouth as a slug from Aralia’s blaster buster caught him in the throat. This was followed by a storm of blaster fire that tore through the storm troopers that had followed the high heat energy blasts pulverizing body parts and sending burnt bits of armor flesh and bone scatter about. They moved over to inspect the imperials to make sure they were all dead. One storm trooper his leg burnt to the bone was trying to crawl back into the elevator, but Aralia caught him sliding her vibro dagger into his armpit and heart hearing his gasp and the death rattle as his lungs and heart gave out. A sound erupted from the nearby Officer’s belt ‘Did you get them? We heard the blaster fire, sir? Sir? We’re coming up!’ Aralia stared at the dead body for a while “Druk… Everyone find cover.” As she moved behind a fallen beam she grabbed the comm. Once more “Anyone come in.. We are about to be under heavy fire. If you are able to reinforce track the LAAT’s guidance system…”
