"Gotcha." Annual weird. That sounded about right. Strange things had always happened in the OC. Being away as long as he had, though, Alex was unaware of the current cycle of things. He was a fast learner, and even if he had always preferred to hang back in the shadows, he wasn't afraid to get out there in the thick of things.
In fact, at the moment, he felt an overwhelming desire to help fight off this invasion. Stormtroopers were supposed to be fictional things. Stormtroopers were not supposed to be invading his town.
"Do you have a weapon I can use?" He had nothing but his bare hands. Effective to a point, and then not so much. He wanted to fight, he didn't want to get killed.
