Dark Trooper wins because they are specially designed cyborg clones with cybernetic enhancements that make them stronger and faster than the Imperial Jumptrooper. While Imperial Jumptrooper has a jetpack for temporary flight or better positioning, Dark Trooper also has a jetpack and thermal detonators which deal high explosive damage. Dark Trooper is also more heavily guarded, making it difficult for Imperial Jumptrooper to penetrate their defenses. Novel: Imperial Jumptrooper saw Phase 0 Dark Trooper approaching him from the distance. He readied his E-11 blaster rifle and aimed at the oncoming cyborg clone. "Looks like I'll be taking down another Dark Trooper today," said the Jumptrooper, confident in his ability to take on the enemy. "You should know better than to underestimate me," replied the Dark Trooper, unimpressed by the Jumptrooper's boasting. The two soldiers charged towards each other, firing their blasters in an attempt to get the upper hand. The sound of laser blasts filled the air as they dodged and weaved around each other. Imperial Jumptrooper attempted to use his jetpack to gain a better position, but Dark Trooper shadowed his every move. Suddenly, Dark Trooper activated his jetpack and flew into the air, hurling a thermal detonator towards Jumptrooper. Jumptrooper tried to dodge, but the detonator exploded in close proximity, sending him flying backwards. He quickly recovered and aimed his rocket launcher at Dark Trooper, firing a missile at his opponent. Dark Trooper expertly dodged the missile and charged towards Jumptrooper, using his cybernetic enhancements to deliver a powerful punch that sent the Jumptrooper crashing to the ground. Jumptrooper tried to get up, but Dark Trooper was already there, pinning him to the ground. "Looks like I'm the one taking you down today," said Dark Trooper, delivering a final blow that knocked Jumptrooper out cold. Dark Trooper stood up and looked down at his opponent. "Never underestimate the power of the Dark Trooper," he said, before heading off to complete his mission.
