Alternate Star Wars - Vuana 20 Year War (Part1, Thaldoria Siege)

[weiderudare]

Jemel barely had time to equip and ran off towards the fighting before the order of pulling back was heard. Being close to the rendezvous point he soon got there.

"Orders Sir?"

[Hiroki]

Mortroths squad of Enforcers had managed to clear the way to escape pod, the last Vuana falling. He quickly devoted his squads attention to aiding the retreating soldiers. Rushing them to there pods.

 

"Let's move this along people, we haven't call all day, come on!" He shouted.

[Curt-Man]

"this one will help hold the line here until this one'z squad leader tellz this one otherwize." Belsa said and focused on the exit to the escape pod bay.

[Mandalorian54]

Joth'loel took Sivan's helmet off and knelt in front of his friend.

 

Sivan's face was pale and weary, his voice was thin and weak like a wisper threatening to be blown away by the wind. "Joth, I think I'm going to die." Sivan always got to the point quickly.

 

"No your not," Joth'leol assured, "You'll be fine as soon as you see a medic."

 

Sivan smiled, "How's our squad?"

 

"They didn't make it."

 

The smile faded, "Bumber."

 

"Don't worry, we just have to make it to the hangar." Joth'loel nudged Sivan's shoulder and stood up.

 

fourty-one more men from nine other squads made it to the rondezvous point, their group grew from twelve to fifty-three out of thirteen squads. still, five squads hadn't returned...

 

 

As a pair of squads ran down a corridor towards the rondezvous point they came across a greatly disturbing site, the corpses of a twelve fellow Mandalorians lay torn apart and strewn across the corridor, blood streaked across the floor and walls and blaster burns scorched the entire area. It looked like a bloody battle took place here as though a group of soldiers were butchered from all sides. No Vuana corpses or alien blood was seen anywhere.

 

As the two squads looked striken at what they saw two silent creatures creapt along the celieng above them and waited to pounce.

 

"What could have done this?" One soldier wondered allowed and followed a blood streak up near the celeing where he caught a glimpse of some dark blurr before it dropped down and slashed his throat open, the soldier gargled as he slowly sunk to his knees and flopped face down on the floor. Chaos soon broke out but in a matter of seconds the entire group was slain by two Vuana warriors... Kuakain, and Zousoshi.

 

Their armor was black and their skin deep blue, Kuakain standing 7'1" and Zousoshi 7'3", they each held twin bladed short swords dripping with fresh blood. Looking at each other they muttered something between each other in their own language before they suddenly became transparent and wisped away running up the walls and down the corridor.

 

One soldier remained alive, he leant against a wall with a huge gash in his side. "Come in Delca Company Protector...*cough* ... this is Stave squad...we're all de- *couph*" He died before he finished his sentance but it was obvious what he was going to say.

 

Joth'loel was troubled by this news but there was nothing he could do, "I don't think the other squads made it, let's move out before the Vuana reach us."

[Jedi Malastar]

The remaining men in Trandon's Gamma Squad arrived and there was half a dozen carrier transports docked. There was two exits in the docking bay. One was free and some survivors began heading their way, loading up in the carriers. THe other exit was still held by the Vuana. They had several turretts set up and had fire fire suppressed on them. But they were never going to get that exit clear, they kept on coming. He threw a grenade but most of the aliens in its radius escaped. He took cover as they fired back.

 

One of his squadmembers handed him a radar comlink and said another squad was nearby, Delta Squad. He recognized that as being Joth'loel's. He activated the comlink and said,"Joth'loel I need your help, your position shows you behind exit-B of docking bay 49. If you can I need you to flank the aliens there to clear the door so we can get survivors to the transports here."

[Mandalorian54]

Joth'loel recieved Gamma squad's message, "We're on our way." Then to the remains of his company, "Delca company, Follow me."

 

Delca company changed their corse and headed for the hangar's B-exit. Some 50 meters from B-exit the company halted. Joth'loel raised his hand in the stop signal and the entire group stopped dead in their tracks. In front of them stood two menacing looking aliens holding twin bladed short swords and wearing black armor.

 

Kuakain and Zousoshi grinned at one another and then turned their heads slowly to face Delca company. Simultaniously they uttered in Vuana dialect some kind of speach that sounded like scripture. At the conclusion of their speach they became transparent.

 

The man standing at the head of the company looked confused at first and then after waiving his hand the group of Mandalorians opened fire at the empty area between them and the aliens. But Kuakain and Zousoshi had already run up the walls and pearched on either side of the large group of soldiers. When they stopped firing nothing but air had been scorched by their blasters.

 

Uncloaking above the Mandalorians, Kuakain and Zousoshi waited until they were seen before they moved. When shouts began the two Vuana Eletes leapt into the heart of the troops and began ripping them apart in melee combat with their twin swords.

 

All Joth'loel could hear from his troopers were their screams.

[Darth NeoVenom]

Ziltro stood silence in the rondezvous point. He looked around at all the Mandalorians that were wounded. He has never been in a severe war as the one he is in now, but he has imagined it to look like this. He helps up one recruit that is wounded and follows Joth'loel lead. Helping the recruit delayed Ziltro from moving out with the bigger group in front of him. Moments later, he heard horrific screams while he continued to walk thru the corridor. Ziltro stopped and gently laid down the recruit next to him. He took out both his pistols.

[Curt-Man]

"um, commander Ziltro? this one tuned into delca squad'z comm unit and heard only blood curdling screamz" Besla said with fear.

[Mandalorian54]

Kuakain stabbed one Mandalorian in the chest between his armor plates and hefted the screaming man into the air before throwing him onto other Mandalorians knocking them over. The inferior Mandalorians ran for their lives but the Vuana Eletes tore into them like practice dummies. Blood was everywhere and corpses lay strewn across the hallway. Their numbers were cut in half before Joth'loel could do anything.

 

Jumping on the back of Kuakain, Joth'loel stabbed his Deth'lou sword into the Elete's back. Alien blood spurted from the wound when Joth'loel pulled his sword out.

 

Kuakain dropped to his knees staring down at the gaping hole in his chest where the Deth'lou sword had gone through his body. Kuakain's hands were covered in his own blood. Lifting his arms straight up he said in broken Mandalore, "Glory to Vuana!" Then he fell flat on his face and lay in a pool of his own blood, his twin sword beside him covered in Mandalorian blood.

 

During Kuakain's death Zousoshi slipped away and ran down the corridor cloaked. Zousoshi knocked Ziltro over as he ran past.

[weiderudare]

Jemel stared at his bloody comrades around him, and realized he did not even fire his guns before it was all over.

"What are these things?"

He looked at the massacre, uneasy at heart.

[Jedi Malastar]

Trandon heard screaming from the exit ahead of him. That distraction caused him to get hit with a blaster bolt. His armor absorbed the blast but he ducked down behind some crates for cover. Delca Squad was in trouble, the Vuana holding the door dispersed, most of them going to see what the commotion was. That gave them their chance. He gave the signal to advance and they moved up several yards and opened fire on the aliens. They put down several of them this time.

[Mandalorian54]

Moaning and screams of pain could be heard from the wounded, there were more wounded then able. Joth'loel swore repeatedly, his entire company had been reduced to two squads worth of able soldiers and more than that in wounded. They couldn't be much use at the hangar's B-exit. Joth'loel radioed Trandon, "We can't make it to B-exit, we have too many wounded to be of any use. We're going around the safe side. We request aid for transport of our wounded. Over." Joth'loel waited for a reply.

 

Noticing a particular soldier who seemed effected by the shock of what just happened, Joth'loel patted Jemel on the shoulder, "Don't worry kid, we'll make it." While they waited for response from Trandon, Delca company started helping their wounded.

 

Suddenly footsteps and voices could be heard coming from B-exit, and it didn't sound Mandalorian.

[Curt-Man]

Besla suddenly felt a surge of energy.

"Delca squad is over there, and the Vuana are coming form over there, he must tell them to run and hold of the Vuana. if we just attack the vuana delca squad will die, if we jsut go help delca squad, we will all die, if i may say so, i can travel fastest to the delca squad, and you could defend from over there while i get back?"

[Darth NeoVenom]

"What the?" he asked himself in puzzlement as he got knocked over. He could hear the clacking of footsteps fading away, but nobody was there. He helped up the recruit he put down earlier and headed towards Joth'loel. Ziltro looked at the alien's dead body as he approached Joth'loel. "What just happen?" he asked. Before he could even get an answer, Ziltro heard the same voices and footsteps Joth'loel heard coming from the B-exit.

[Jedi Malastar]

"Copy that," Trandon said to the Delca squad leader. He gathered four men from his Gamma Squad. One of his men pulled up some schematics on a holo device. Trandon pointed to a spot on it and said,"Alright, 6 of you stay here and guard the ships. Myself and two others will head thru the vents here, it will put us in front of Delca squad, while 3 others can help bring their wounded back." With that Trandon and two other men ducked behind cover and made their way to some vents and unlocked them and started down the dark passagways.

 

They reached the exit and jumped down from the ceiling. They looked behind them and Delca Squad was there, several dead, some wounded. His other three men arrived just on time behind them, they started hauling some wounded on some hoverstretchers. He heard some footsteps in front of him.

[weiderudare]

Jemel calmed down by Joth'loel's confident voice, and remembered that he was a mandolarian, and they were proud beings.

Leaning down to help a wounded comrade, he heard footsteps and took a firmer grip on his blaster. This time he would be ready.

[Curt-Man]

"um, it may be just this one, but i think those are vuana coming from all sides, except that one." Besla pointed down a hallway which lead to garbage compactors and facilities.

"not glamourous but it'll save our lives."

[Mandalorian54]

Joth'loel heard the footsteps, this time from more than one of the corridors. They had too many wounded to move, they were grounded and forced to fight. Joth'loel began spreading his men out, "Stay around the corners, just hold them off for now. Throw your grenades at groups of them and keep down, we just might make it out of here alive." Then over the radio, "Delca Company requesting re-enforcements at Hangar E's, B-Exit! Anyone who reads this we are cut off and have wounded, we need retrievement immediately!"

[Jedi Malastar]

Gamma squad had six men holding the hanger and the other six helping Delca Squad. Trandon and 2 out of the 6 in his squad with him were up the hall from Delca Squad and then the Vuana troops started coming. There was more than he thought. His other 3 men were helping the Delca wounded. He began firing his blaster rifle. He actually hit one of them and the alien fell dead to the ground. He looked in astonishment and gasped as one of the Vuana came thru the others with some kind of rocket launcher weapon....

[Curt-Man]

besla had ducked behind a piece of pasteel that had been blown off the ship, she came back up and saw a vuana with a rocket launcher type weapon, Besla dropped her rifle and lunged at the vuana at an incredible speed, besla had tackled the vuana, she then tore his face off with his razor sharp claws, besla got hit in the shoulder pad, she grabbed the rokcet launcher and jumped off again behind the plasteel.

"anyone want thiz, this one does not know how to uze it!"

[Darth NeoVenom]

Ziltro puts the wounded recruit down once again and took out both his pistols. He thought to himself that it is going to be impossible for everyone to make it out alive after this, especially the wounded. He extends his arms wide apart as he puts his back against the corridor's wall, pointing a pistol to his left and to his right. He looked to his left than his right, checking to see if any Vuanas will show up.

[Mandalorian54]

A grand total of 26 able soldiers and nearly 50 wounded stood and lay in a corridor painted with blood and corpses as from three directions blaster fire erupted.

 

With men stationed at each of the three sides surpressing fire was lain to prevent the enemy from advancement. Keeping their heads down and letting their armor protect them was their only chance to aviod being snagged by stray shots.

 

"If we can get the wounded to the Hangar through the same vent Gamma Squadron came through, we might be able to get some people to saftey. If no help arrives it's the only chance we have to save as many as we can." Joth'loel said this to Trandon loud enough that the rest of Delca Company might hear. "Your men can transport the wounded easyiest with the stretchers while we hold em off as long as we can."

 

Just then Joth'loel noticed a group of Vuana pick off a couple men at one hall and start advancing. Joth'loel swore, "Hold that position!" Joth'loel rushed over and brought two men with him to stop the enemy, one of the Vuana had a rocket launcher...

 

..."Nice work Belsa," Joth'loel patted the warrior on the shoulder after they fought back the enemy. "We can use that to break through once we've gotten out our wounded."

[Curt-Man]

"thank you zir but this one is not a heavy weapons expert and this one doesn't know how to properaly use it, take it please, this one is much more able with this one's rifle, or clawz" Besla said with a grin.

[Jedi Malastar]

Trandon nodding while firing at some Vuana down the hall. His other men in his squad put some wounded on stretchers and went thru the vent at the left. He got out of the way because he saw Delca Squad leader with a rocket launcher ready to fire.

[Mandalorian54]

Joth'loel keyed his radio, "This is Delca company, we're unable to break through to Hangar B-Exit, we're coming around to Hangar A-Exit. Hangar be advised, enemy movement headed your way at B-Exit."

 

Joth'loel took the rocket launcher from Belsa, "All troups strategic retreat towards Hangar A-exit!" Joth'loel yelled across the corridor to those of his troops still alive.

 

In response those closer to their Protector layed cover fire, before pulling back, for those closer to the enemy to fall back. When the group began running down the hallway towards A-exit Joth'loel fired the rocket launcher at the pursuing Vuana.
