They’d started just like clockwork. Good. He’d trained them well on this course and all the others. He was particularly proud of how quickly they’d set up the EWHEB. Of course, in battle things were never fair. One had to throw everything they had into the field to attain victory. Or, as his father had said...

“If you ain’t cheating, you ain’t trying hard enough.” He smiled and reached for the small array of console controls. It was time to give them a real test. He pressed one button at the far side, activating the B1 in the tower. It started to set up its own heavy repeating blaster, almost faster than the clones had, with its mechanical strength and coordination. Another button on then left opened up a pair of panels in the wall, and, lumbering out with stomping metal feet, came the hulking forms of a pair of B2 Super Battle Droids. They made not a sound as they extended their arms, the repeating blasters fixed into their wrists screaming to life.
