Kiki whipped her head around as her antennae bounced. "Hey, guys and gals, sorry to interrupt, but I'm picking up some major Imperial signals headed this way."

"Reinforcements are coming." Magott drew her pistol again.

Xin swung her shotgun up and pumped it. "Can you self-destruct the soldiers again?"

Magott snapped a new magazine into her pistol. "No, I tried, but they've disabled my access. Even my keycard no longer works."

Scarlett grinned while spinning her pistol on her finger. "Then we have to shut 'em down the old-fashioned way."

Byron walked towards the exit to the armory. He could hear the thump of boots on the polished hallway floors, growing closer. He tried to think of the strategy he had used in video games. "Okay, save your rifle ammo. It's close quarters, so we'll use shotguns. Four of us including me and Magott on the left side, four with Silica and Xin on the right."

"And watch your shots," Xin added. "There's live ammo in here."

The prisoners all nodded, tightening their grip on their weapons. They all seemed to feel the same sense that the roles had been reversed. Now they had the weapons they needed to hold back the Imperial forces. The army aboard the ship still had them outnumbered, but the tides were turning in their favor.

Yet Byron reminded himself that he had lost over half the prisoners just getting here. That wasn't something to be proud of. He had to save every life from then on.

Byron took a deep breath as he knelt to face the entrance of the armory. The soldiers would have to come through the door, and they would face a group armed with enough weapons to kill them a dozen times over. He kept his eyes focused on the doorway, keeping his finger on the trigger of his shotgun, ready to fire whenever a head poked its way in.

Something did come in, but it wasn't a head.

Two grenades bounced into the armory. One rolled to Byron's feet, the other at Xin's.

Of course. The Death Troopers didn't need to come in if they could make the prisoners come out.

"Everybody, go," Byron yelled.

Silica and Byron charged out of the armory, firing shotgun blasts. They faced ten soldiers, five kneeling in formation and five standing. The soldiers at the front of the line fell back as a cluster of bullets slammed into them. The soldiers beyond them huddled behind boxes as shields so they could fire their rifles down the hallway.

Before they could exchange fire, the armory blew up.

The explosion hit Byron and threw him across the hallway. Before he even hit the wall, more concussions hit him, just before everything went silent.

He opened his eyes, and gasped as pain oozed through every muscle in his body. He lay on his side with something hot pressing down on him. It turned out to be the door of the armory, which had been torn off and thrown onto him.

He winced as he pressed his hands against the hot metal, managed to push off the door, and sat up.
