After emptying the remainder of his energy clip inside a super battle droid that approached them, firing his tri-blaster, he slung his DC-15A rifle on his back and picked up a wounded jedi, supporting him with his shoulder as they ran for the Larty. [b]"Retreat!"[/b] He yelled as he sped towards the gunship, so vulnerably waiting there on the ground as the large LR1K turrets firing huge sonic blasts were being manned and used against the clone attackers. One of such projectiles struck the ground next to him, sending a few clones sprawling in the sky, their eardrums exploded and their brains most likely just as fried as a battledroid struck by a turbolaser. [b]"All jedi are secure! Mount the gunships and defend them at all costs! Prepare for take-off!"[/b] CT-1378 ordered his men as he lifted the jedi on the platform, quickly slamming a new energy magazine in his DC-15A, before turning around and unleashing a barrage of covering fire. Despite their intensive training, nothing could prepare one for a real battle. Nevermind fighting against droids, against whom covering fire was as useless as throwing bricks at a starship was. They had no rational sense of self-preservation that made organic creatures duck for cover once fired upon. Realizing this, he continued firing nevertheless. Accuracy was useless here. The sea of droids ensured nearly every shot was a hit.
