Apologetic Gunner

Kye bit at his bottom lip the moment the storm troopers came up to them. Grabbing Aurora's hand, he climbed atop Phenix, despite his fear of the kind creature and with his free hand, he grabbed for one of his blasters. He hated to shoot people, hated to kill them, but he knew how persistent troopers could be.

"W-we have...to go," He tried to sound confident, but the cracking in his voice was evidence enough of their lie. Why couldn't he just keep his mouth shut and let Aurora do the talking? Guns were being aimed at them and he knew exactly what would have to be done.

They were not going to let them leave.

Frowning, he pulled the blaster from its holster and aimed at the storm troopers before letting off quick shots that take out the first two. "Go!" He yelled to his sister as a pained look crossed his face. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Continuing to shoot down troopers, he clung to Aurora.
