(XXI) The meaning of being ARC. The Battle of Yerbana. Part II

Gil: - Commander? -

Cody: - Captain. The joint main forces of the 212 and 501 will attack the central square. We're expecting a large battalion of droids defending the position, so it's going to be a tough battle. But we don't stand a chance if we don't cut the enemy supply line. To the north, on the other side of the city, there is a huge warehouse protected by a shield. Our guns can't get through and the slideways are too narrow and well defended. -

Gil: - What is the plan, Commander? -

Cody: - We found some ducts running through the city big enough for a couple of clones to infiltrate and sabotage the warehouse from the inside. -

Reyes: - Some ducts? -

Gil: - It refers to the sewers. -

Reyes: - You must be kidding. -

Cody: - I need you to go as soon as possible and cut off the supplies. -

Reyes: - No. It wasn't a joke. -

Cody: - Take detonators with you. If you can't for supplies, blow 'em up. But only as a last resort. Understood? -

Gil and Reyes: - Yes, sir. -

The ARC clones infiltrated through one of the sewer hatches near the entrance to the city, and had to traverse the entire drain to reach their target. The smell was appalling, even when the waste was conveyed through sealed metal ducts. The biggest problem was visibility. During the battle the electrical network was interrupted and the entire drainage system was left in the dark. Gil and Reyes had to be very careful not to bump their heads into the hundreds of pipes that connected to the main system.

In addition to the flashlights on their helmets, Gil carried another attached to his WESTAR-M5 blaster rifle, and Reyes another two attached to the two DC-17 hand blasters he wielded.

Gil wore Phase 2 armor with kama and pauldron on each shoulder similar to the ones Jesse wore, his helmet also carried integrated binoculars. Reyes also wore Phase 2 armor, though he did not abandon his occupation as a medic after being promoted to ARC trooper, so he still kept his medic emblem under the pauldron on his right shoulder and helped the wounded when not performing his duties as a medic. captain, who took over if Gil had to take care of other business.

They walked for a long time under the streets of the city, and they were almost approaching the warehouse.

Gil: - We should already be under the objective. We must look for a hatch or something that allows us to go up. -

Reyes: - I think I found one. - I speak from a distance.

Gil: - That's our entrance. I'm going up. cover me. -

Gil went up the stairs to try to open the hatch, but there was a dark open space around him, and red lights caught his eye.

Gil: - What the...? -

Buzz droids came out of the shadows and startled Gil. He slipped off the stairs and fell to the ground, hitting the right side of his head hard on one of the pipes.

Reyes: - Gil! Gil! Are you OK!? - He yelled as he shot at the buzzer droids, but Gil didn't react.

Reyes grabbed Gil's shoulders and tried to drag him along, firing as the droids inched closer. Gil slowly regained consciousness, and when he realized the situation, he grabbed his DC-17 hand blaster and began firing at the droids as Reyes praised him.

When they were finally able to take down the dozens of buzz droids, Gil was able to get up.

Reyes: - Hey, Gil. Are you okay brother? -

Gil: - Yes... I think so. My head hurts a little. -

Reyes: - Do you think you can continue? -

Gil: - We must do it. The main force is counting on us. -

The clones returned to their task and managed to get out of the sewer through one of the hatches that led right to the side of the warehouse, inside the protective shield.

Reyes: - This is too big, Gil. And there are a lot of droids. There is no way we can take the position just the two of us. -

Gil: - I agree. And we don't have enough detonators. - He thought a little. - I have an idea. -

Reyes: - I hear you. -

Gil: - We'll look for the shield generator and destroy it. Then the bombers can do the rest. -

Reyes: - It's not a bad idea. I follow you. -

The clones moved stealthily between the containers without being detected by the droids. Fortunately for them, most of the droids were model B1s that were dedicated to transporting and distributing supplies. They were finally able to locate the shield generator, which was poorly guarded by four B2 droids; since it seemed impossible that they could infiltrate that far.

Reyes: - What do you say Gil? A test of aim? - He was holding a detonator in his hand.

Gil: - No. I have a better idea. - The backpack loaded with detonators was removed.

Reyen: - I like how you think. -

They activated two detonators and dropped the backpack with more than fifteen charges right at the foot of the shield generator. The B2 droids turned to inspect the pack's contents, but it was too late. The explosive charges destroyed the generator in a large explosion that rocked the area. Gil and Reyes ran into one of the corridors that led east of the city, engaging all the droids that stood in their way.

Gil: - This is Gil, speaking. Commander Cody, do you read me? - spoke on the tele-communicator while running.

Cody: - This is Cody. We have a strong resistance in the center of the city. What is your situation captain? -

Gil: - The shield of the warehouse has fallen, but there were too many droids to capture them. Firefighters can clear the area. -

Cody: - Understood captain. A squadron of Y-wings will be on the way. Meet me in the central square of the city. -

Gil: - Copied. Gil out. -

When the bombers destroyed the warehouse and cut the supply line, it was only a matter of time before the Separatist forces were defeated by the clones. Finally, Gil and Reyes were able to rejoin the rest of the 212 after clearing the north corridor of the city.

Dwarf: - Haha. Here we have the favorites. -

Reyes: - What are you talking about my little friend? -

Boil: - His actions saved many. Thanks captains. -

Gil: - Thank you Captain Boil. -

Cody: - Good job soldiers. - Commander Cody arrived at the position. - Yerbana is already under Republic control.

Gil: - Thank you commander... And the 501? -

Cody: - The 501 was summoned to a mission in Mandalore. So the rest is left to us. Ghost Company secures the perimeter. Gil, Reyes. Take a break. -

Clones: - Yes sir. -
