“Attack!!” The commanding battle droid screeched.

Bo’ and Gryphon began firing back immediately. Ivaylo activated his lightsaber and an energy shield on his vambrace, taking the defensive. They backed up to use the corner as cover.

Just before they ducked away, the king fired three perfect shots in rapid succession.

His paw shook as it held the blaster aloft.

“Ah, beginner’s luck?” Gryphon offered.

“You could say that,” the king said, panting.

“We can only get to the hatch if we take down all of these droids!” Bo’ called over the din. “We don’t have the firepower for that!”

“Or,” Ivaylo said, nodding suggestively at the large glass window to their side. “We could take an alternate route.”

Gryphon paused his attack. “Good plan,” he said, and shattered the window with one blast.
