--[AYDEN GALMAR]--
As the men watched the shower of manadlorian body parts the com-array cackled to life.
"This is Jerec Asyr calling the prospector crew that sent up a distress beacon. I'm the walker trying to chew up the Mandos."
The men looked at each other confused, almost in disbelief. It took another
BOOM! into enemy lines before the men realized what was happening. Someone had come to help.
Ayden was unaware that the prospectors had sent out a signal, but thank the Force they did before any jamming started. He steadied himself, sheathing his remaining blade before holstering both hilts. A younger member of the expedition, no older than sixteen, ran up to him and attempted to wrap his wound. Ayden grabbed the cloth and dismissed him.
"Go help the others, I'm fine."
The boy hurriedly nodded and staggered off, no doubt terrified of his circumstances. Ayden felt for the kid. He undid the lower section of his stomach-plate and dressed his injury.
With the arrival of this Jerec Asyr the men began to fire with a renewed sense of hope. Still, even with their new ally it would be an uphill battle. Mandalorians had a reputation, and they would die just to defend it.
Ayden moved to the edge of the defenses and tried to identify the newcomer. Given the intensity of the cannon-fire he guessed it was armor of some kind. After a moment of searching he found he was correct. A white, bipedal mech strode through the far-side of the field, it's deadly arsenal unleashing itself upon the outflanked Mandalorians.
While the walker was a massive threat, the battle-hardened clansmen adapted and began to counter. Those with jetpacks took to the sky, drawing the mech's attention as their comrades scattered into better positions. Thick red beams suddenly tore into the side of the machine, causing it to stumble back a few steps.
Ayden had seen that kind of rapid firing before. That was a E-Web. If left unchallenged, all that armor would be shredded. He glanced behind him at the men desperately fighting for their lives. At the wounded slouched against the wall. At the terrified boy doing what he can to help.
He sighed.
Damn it..
The silver hilts of his lightsabers quickly unlatched themselves and floated into either hand, igniting as soon as he closed his grip. Despite the mech's advance, the enemy continued to rain down an oppressive amount of blaster fire on the prospectors holdout. As Ayden neared the lip of the shieldwall one of the defenders shouted at him.
"What are you doing!?"
Ayden lowered himself to the ground, ignoring the pain at his side as he focused his energy.
"Going to help that pilot."
Propelled by the Force, he launched forward into the chaos once more.
