Gamble was -just- bringing his blasters to bear on the other two gunmen when the Knight pulled their butts straight down to the rail line tracks by use of her Jedi voo-doo. How helpful of a trick was that?! Tucking his blasters away back into their holsters, he gripped the edge of the railcar he was atop of and flipped down, landing a bit sloppily on his feet in a crouched position alongside Cnile. It hadn't been pretty, but it was effective. He made it!
Standing up straight as he erected his posture, drawing his dual krayt dragon pearl-handled blasters, Billy replied after clearing his throat, facing the back of the train, "If they knew we were comin', then we should push through this back car, reunite with Juisk, then make our way forwards." His gaze determined as he looked her in the eyes, "We're gonna need 'im with us if we're gonna survive this."
He didn't mention that they would have no need of the speeder if they weren't able to make it back alive to it. Nope. No need at all. Whatever had given the Knight pause before, causing her to send her Padawan back... well... now with the situation being what it was, perhaps that would be enough to change her mind. Kicking the door open to the rear car, Gamble unleashed one shot after another into the approaching thugs, aiming center mass as he he advanced one step after another.
He'd only seen six upon entry, and had already laid out four of them when suddenly he was taken from the side!! He hadn't seen him hidden behind the seat backs!! Krath Damnit!! Billy nearly lost a hold of his blasters as the alien thug tackled him into the far side of the car, slamming his head and shoulders into the wall. THAT was going to leave a mark!! The two began to grapple, Deacon not being overly-skilled at close combat like this.
He was holding his own for the time being, but if he had to keep this up any longer, the sheer brute strength of this foe was going to beat him in!! Still though, there were two more weapon-wielding thugs moving forward. Deke could only hope that Cnile would deal with them quickly and give him a hand. KRATH!! The thing just racked him in the family jewels!! Oh Shet.... it wasn't looking good...
