» We came, We saw, We were trapped

As we know commandos are given orders and they follow right. Well here is a story about Alpha squad, they were under heavy fire and Scope, Data, Vode, and Kote. They all knew chances of survival were slim and now they wonder... "We are never going to see Kamino again huh?"

Blasters firing and droids falling to pieces as Alpha squad headed to the exit. Running as fast as their feet and armor were allowed they blasted there way through the droid filled hallways. "Come on we've got to move!" Vode yelled. The squad knew this mission was risky but what's the point of taking a mission if there's no risk it wouldn't be much fun.

"Take cover now!" Kote yelled throwing an EMP grenade into the droid infested elevators. Scope was starting to really panic, everyone could hear his breathing through the com link. "Come on stay cool we'll get through." Scope was telling himself. Then suddenly there was a scream full of pain.

"Man down man down!" Data yelled. "Who is it?!" Vode asked Data worried for his squad brother. Its Kote he's been shot. Back there in the hallway." Scope came back with an idea. "Cover me I'll get him okay." "Got it." Vode replied. "Good luck." Scope got ready to make a break for Kote. "Go when I give the mark." Vode said. "Now go now!!" Under the cover fire of his brothers Scope made a run for it. He could hear Kote breathing real hard. "Don't worry I'll get you out of here." Scope said and lifted his brother over his shoulder running back to the squad.

Scope felt a rush of pain followed by three more. "Noooo!" Data yelled beginning to run to their aid but was grabbed by Vode. The door separating them from Scope and Kote from Vode and Data shut. Data punched the door frustrated. He lost to brothers whom he had known his whole life. They were gone and wouldn't come back. "There is nothing we can do for them now Data and you know that they would not want us to stay and die either so lets move on." Vode helped Data get straight again. "Ok but if we run into more droids they'll all burn in the tracyn be ky'ram!" Vode was surprised at what Data had just said but now was not the time to think, they had to escape.

They entered an elevator to the first floor where they would escape but were in for a surprise. Yes we're almost there Vode thought to himself then the ceiling above them fell in front of their escape route. Hundreds of battle droids moved in backed up by fifty spider droids. The two commandos took cover behind some of fallen debris. The two were breathing hard then looked at each other. "We are never going to see Kamino again huh Data?" Vode asked. "Guess so but to cheer you up I've got a plan." Vode thought what good would a plan do now. "Well let's hear it then" "Here it is we run out there and blast every single di'kutla piece of junk as we can. And to add a little fun to it we'll count how many we took down." Data said. "You ready Kote?" "Yeah." Kote replied back. "Lets go!!" Data yelled aiming his rifle at the nearest droid with Kote following right behind him. "I've got eight, how many you got?" Kote yelled. "Eleven and still going!" From the two reactions the commandos were having some fun out there. Out of the corner of his eye Kote noticed a spider droid about to fire. He was about to tell Data but it was too late. The droid fired an explosive blast mortally wounding Kote and killing Data. "Data come on get up." Kote said taking in deep breaths. Now Data was gone and he was the only one left. Kote looked up at the droids ready to fire then closed his eyes and whispered. "Brothers I will be joining you shortly."
