Fortunately, Eddie saw the armored individual raise his sidearm just in time.
"Son of a-"
He moved back just in time, dropping the comlink. The bullet skimmed his knee, barely missing the bone. Damn, that hurt. It would certainly slow him down a bit, as he would have to field dress it. Wounds turned septic out here.
Blake rolled back and squeezed off some shots. It was hard to see through the flames bursting through his direction. The damp environment worked to his advantage, as the flames didn't spread as far as they ought to have and the ones that did manage to cling to the moist vegetation died out rather quickly. Limping for a more tactically advantage position, Eddie yelled out to Jarell.
"Find the clone! I'll deal with this nerf herder and get this all cleared up!"
The Comedian looked at his comlink, lying on some smoldering grass and vines. Chit. He couldn't finish the call on that now...
Think, Blake, think...
As Blake took aim for the armored guy's head and fired, an idea burst into his mind.
The astromech droid...
He yelled out to the red little robot, "Hey, droid! Send a hail to the nearest Galactic Republic signal! Tell them the Comedian needs backup at our coordinates! I'll get you off this greenhouse of a planet!"
Blake switched on his flamethrower now, a volatile mix of napalm and white phosphorus. He had specifically chose this fuel for the wet environment here. The fire would keep burning, even in water. A burst of flame went out at Quill, engulfing him in flames...
Maybe. He couldn't really see if the man had moved out of the way. The fire was too bright for his eyes, adjusted to the darkness.
Eddie hunched behind a tree now, ready for anything, vibroknife out and at the ready along his rifle, bayonetted.
If the droid obeyed, it was only a matter of time. He had come under-equipped. Most of The Comedian's gear was on his ship, a nondescript Republic transport.
If he could reach it...
