KOTOR V: The Force Plague

[TreeX]

SIth spit! What the hell are you doing Kharne!?

"What ya mean what I'm doing? You're the one who wont let me get a decent lock on those damn snub fighters!"

Oh yeah have ya noticed the enormous amount of firepower coming our way?

"Sure thats why you have to roll instead of going in a straight line when the blast shots weren't going anywhere near you anyway!"

Damn ya son of a murklak! Fine, keep blasting at the fighters i'm dropping of few pellets on the main ship!

"Righteo!"

 

Leaning forward, Aegis targetted one of the larger turrets and launched the minor proton torpedoes at it, punching a hole roughly the size of the Myriad in the slave ship's hull, turning around he headed for the snub fighters poking holes in the Myriad.

[RobQel-Droma]

Coryn blasted away at the incoming fighters shooting out of the Sith ship ahead of them. It had an ugly appearance, and was clearly Sith. He just hoped that they could get to Tysy in time, before Sinister decided she wasn't worth the trouble.

[Jedi Atomic]

Taris Military Base Hangar

 

Soon, Starfighters started taking off one by one each flew into space, escorting the transport of soldiers that were left after the invasion of Taris days ago. Soon Scur's row came up, and his T-wing started hovering then launched out of the hangar following the starfighter in front of him. Scur soon heard people taking attendance over the comlink.

"Red one, over." "Red two, over." .......etc. until Scur's turn. Then, he proudly announced, "Blue six, over and out."

Soon the attendance was over and all ships made it. The escorted the transport to the navpoint buoy, and everyone hyperspaced to Korriban.(that's where you guys are, right?)

[TreeX]

((Yep Jedi Atomic))

 

Kharne watched with grim satisfaction as the Myriad landed in the gap made by the proton torpedoes. The fighters won't shoot at it now in fear of accidentally causing damage to the main ship... Good.

"Board them boys and gals, find the girl and get out, you're outnumbered 30 to 1 inside so nobody be a hero! We'll head to -" The comlink was suddenly cut off from the Myriad's crew.

 

We're hit, port stabilizers are all down and one of our own proton torpedoes exploded, I'm trying to manouvere half a ship here!

"Then land!" Spinning around in the turret Kharne fired a series of rapid bursts to open up an area as the quickly descending ship headed towards it.

Rough landing, better belt yourself in!

The two man fighter smashed through the small hole Kharne had made and descended into the Sith ship smashing everything in their wake, finally the ship grinded to a halt inside the in the Maintenance Bay.

[Jedi Atomic]

The fleet came out of hyperspace and the fleet noticed a couple of ships enter the Sith Frigate straight ahead of them.

All t-wings seperated into small groups into attack formation and attacked all Sith ships defending the area. As Scur dodged incoming fire and fighters, his partner fired at a Sith fighter chasing them. Soon the area became small in defense, the transport headed to the Sith Frigate. Soon sfter docking the doors opened and let all the soldiers out.

 

((You guys can control the soldiers if you want.))

 

After watching the transport safely dock he scanned for the remaining Sith fighters. Few remained but none would leave. Scur made sure of it. Scur chased the last one remaining and 2 seconds before it hyperspaced he fired. The missile hit the engine, damaging the hyperspace control and the Sith fighter starting to go to hyperspace it sped up then started spinning in circle and exploded. Scur headed to the hangar of the Sith Frigate and landed inside of it next to the Myriad.

[RobQel-Droma]

(((There is just one problem, Jedi Atomic, our ships our already in the enemy ship, none of us crashed. The Myriad got safely in there, it was Aegis's and Kharne's ship that got hit, and they still landed inside the enemy ship, so you might want to change that)))

 

Leaping out of the Myriad with his vibroblade in hand, Coryn cut down two Sith Troopers about to fire on him. One more came, a captain who pulled out his own vibro-staff. Fight furiously for a few moments, Coryn shrank back and then brought his blade up, crashing it into his helmet and rattling the captain. Swinging back and forth, he knocked the Sith down and killed him.

 

Feat Gain: Improved Power Attack

 

More blaster shots came from down the corridor, and several Sith were laying down a large field of fire. Ducking behind a canister, he pulled out both of his blasters, shooting at them and causing them to have to get behind some cover. Shouting at the rest of them inside the ship, Soludis, Taa'la, and Graothar, he shot a trooper in the chest. They better hurry up, I could use some help here with these guys, especially with two Jedi.

[TreeX]

((hey Jedi Atomic, you're a bit mistaken I think, it was my ship, whichso far has been unnamed got shot down and landed in the Sith Frigate while the Myriad landed in a hole in the SIth Frigate. Let's just call the SIth Frigate... the Azrael.))

 

The cockpit hatch popped open and a Aqua lightsaber ignited deflecting the sudden array of enemy fire, Kharne leaped out with blasters in hand, ducked behind the wreckage and tossed a plasma grenade at the gathered Sith Troops. Needless to say all taht was left was one puddle of blood.

 

"The tracker I put on Tysy is still active that means it has not been discovered. My comlink's broken so I can't contact the rest of the crew." Growled Kharne.

Hmmm... My mental bond with you is strongest... Do you think you can track down Tysy while I search out the rest of the crew?

"Easily, the Sith troops here are green and rather pathetic, I could blast my way through but just to be safe I'll keep up with stealth."

Right. I'll contact Solidus and find him, you go ahead and look for Tysy...

Kharne walked towards a series of broken Sith Assault Droids and smiled, reprogramming each one to open fire on Sith troops he switched on his stealth generator and headed down the corridor while Aegis stepped turned to teh corridor to the right.

[steven]

Solidus rolled out without his lightsaber. He deflected the shots of one trooper and sent back, the shots him in the head. He then leaped to the air and landed in the middile of 5 troopers who were in a box formation. The jedi master did in spin attack. Slicing them all of have.

 

A HK assassin droid entered the hanger and began shooting at Solidus. The small green jedi midget threw his lightsaber, it got lodged in the droids chest. He jumped onto the droid and pulled out his lightsaber. As soon as the saber was removed from the droids chest, it blew up.

(AH what the hell it doesn't matter, it fits the storyline either way......just ignore me......i've had to much coffee today))

[ExtreamJedi12]

Graothar ran from the cockpit(sp?) and as he ran out a droid ambushed him."Prepare to die, meatbag." it said in a cold metalic voice. "I won't die today." Graothar said to the droid. He jumped as high as he could and landed behind it. Graothar then proceeded to reprogram the droid. "OK, let's see." he said to himself. Soon, he sucessfully reprogramed the droid. "Smash through that door." Graothar ordered. "As you wish." the droid stated. It ran into the door and broke through.

((NOW YOU TELL US! Technically I already knew that, I just went along with COryn when he said it was 'obviously' a sith vessel @_@.))

 

Aegis strode through the corridor in his force camoflage stepping round a corner he noticed 6 sith soldiers barricading a door, cocking his head to the side he revealed himself between all of them and used Force Scream, each one of the soldiers collapsed to the ground with blood running out of their ears, nose and eyes.

Using Force Camoflage again he was just about to open the door when a droid rammed through it, revealing himself his lightsaber came out, ignited and he posed himself in the Shien Form before seeing a wookiee behind the droid.

I see it is the wookiee... Graothar... Where is the rest of your crew?

 

Kharne ducked around the engine room expecting resistance to find none, frowning, he switched on his stealth generator, twirled his blasters into his hands and slowly made his way through. Jabbing a security spike into a locked down blast door, the door opened to reveal a long corridor, at the end of the corridor stood 8 Mandalorians and along the corridor were 6 heavy turrets.

Looking around, Kharne didn't notice any security measures he could use against them, cursing his bad luck, in stealth Kharne began to sneak towards them, finally noticing the mines lining the corridor. Cursing silently, Kharne snuck behind a pillar, disarmed two mines around it, holstered a blaster and pulled out a flash grenade.

Tossing the flash grenade at the unaware Mandalorians, it exploded temporarily blinding all but two who were facing the other way, pulling out his blaster Kharne stepped out of his hiding spot and fired, downing one Mandalorian before stepping back into cover from fire from turrets. Sliding down on his knees, Kharne rolled an ion grenade into the mines, it exploded, destroying the mines and one of the nearby turrets with it.

He switched on his Echani Dueling Shield and rolled out both blasters blazing, downing two Mandalorians and he continuied the roll to the other pillar.

 

"Warrior!" Shouted what appeared to be the Mandalorian Leader, "You strike at us off guard and you down three of my men whilst destroying the mines and a turret! Why are you doing this?"

Kharne smiled at the Mandalorian pure personality he felt from the leader Too few of men liek him these days...

"I do this because of obligation and honour! I need to get at something and your blocking my way!"

Without Kharne seeing the captain had nodded at one of his men, who entered the doorway and yanked a disheveled Tysy out.

"You mean this girl?" Shouted the leader down the corridor.

"Bah, I thought you had honour, and yet you hide behind a girl barely a quarter your age."

The gagged Tysy looked up at the enemy Mandalorian and she saw a smile curve up the sides of his lips.

"Indeed. So you are a Mandalorian, so may I ask for the Merchant's Duel?"

Kharne's eyes widened and his left eye brow twitched.

"You may, what are the terms?"

"Me against you, single combat, your life for the girl's.

"Why are you doing this?"

"I hate my employers, not worth working for, they have no honour, but you work forthe Jedi who do have honour, should I be defeated but survive I can work for them instead without staining my honour. If I defeat you... well I'm still stuck here."

"Then let me win in the duel."

"That would still stain my honour."

Shrugging Kharne stood up and stepped out from the pillar his hands raised, the Mandalorian Captain strode towards him dropping his Zabrak Carbine.

 

The two Mandalorian Veterans stood 8 feet from each other.

"Single Combat, close quarter weapons only. Winner is the one who eitehr kills the opponent or the opponent yields."

"Agreed."

Whirling into action both Mandalorian pulled out vibro-double blades. KHarne swept at the man's knees, and Captain leapt up, coming down with an overhand blow from which Kharne rolled to the left from. The Captain followed it up with an upper cut, which was locked to the supine Kharne's blade, the Mandalorian yanked his blade away and Kharne flipped to his feet before doing a backflip to dodge a disembowling blow. The Captain spun his blade to the right while Kharne did the same, both blades got locked, yanking them apart both men circled warily. Using one hand Kharne twirled it over his shoulder with the same move he used on Solidus, the Captain moved to parry and riposte but unexpectedly Kharne's other hand came up and smashed the Captain's jaw. Stumbling back the Captain attempted to get his footing, Kharne pressed his attack, causing the captain to retreat farther down the corridor. Finally The Captain rammed Kharne ad in his offensive position, Kharne lost his footing and fell on his back, the Captain raised his blade for the killing blow, Kharne raised his foot and rammed it into the Captain's exposed knee. The Captain screamed and fell on good knee, the blade slammed to the grund inches from Kharne's head and Kharne twirled his blade to the captain's neck still on his back.

"I... yield..." Rasped the Captain.

Propping himself up on the vibro doubleblade he looked at the kneeling captain. "You have great skill, warrior, you deserve your rank though not among the ranks of this Sith scum. Head to the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine and serve them."

'Yes, and thank you, warrior." Answered the still kneeling Captain.

 

Kharne led Tysy around the corridor and yanked the gag out of her mouth.

"Well... That was a close call."

[Jedi Atomic]

Scur jumped out of the T-wing and waited for Rayce, Red one, to land in the hangar. His partner grabbed his gun and jumped out, while Rayce landed in the hangar. Both men jumped out of their T-wing and walked over to Scur and his co-pilot.

"Ready?" questioned Rayce.

"Yep," quickly added Scur.

The four men started into the hall where the Republic Soldiers were running down. They followed the group of soldiers and went with a small group that divided and went into a different hallway. Scur and Rayce took the lead and ran down the hallway. Before going around the corner they heard a door break from something crushing through it. Scur peeked around the corner and a droid was coming from the broken door. Soon a wookie walked through the door, and a jedi unignited his lightsaber standing before the wookie.

Before the jedi unignited his saber Scur noriced it was a light side color. So he commanded the group to follow. He walked around the corner and rushed down the hallway towards Aegis and Groather.

[TreeX]

Aegis spun around at the sound of rattling boots on the metal, his lightsaber igniting once more, positioning himself between Graothar in the Soresu form, his first action was to forc epull all the blasters out of the hands of the frontline troops.

You are no Sith, state your business before I get hostile.

[Jedi Atomic]

"We are republic soldiers here to rescue a jedi girl on a mission to stop a......a plague." answered Scur waving at Aegis not to kill them. "Many are looking for her right now, somewhere else on the ship." added Rayce. "If you aren't going to kill us, what do we do?" questioned Rayce. "We are under your command." added Scur willingly wanting to hurry up and save the jedi girl. Scur and Rayce waited for a response.

[Tysyacha]

Tysy, her mouth now free to speak, rasped her thanks. The inside of her

mouth still felt cottony, and her legs felt like petroleum jelly. After all she'd

been through, the young girl wasn't much of a "self-sustaining unit," as that

cold and flippant HK droid might have called her. However, that didn't mean

she lacked some good ideas about how to get out of this perilous debacle.

 

"Psst," she told her rescuers with a smile and sly wink. "My father, Kilian,

told me that only exiles and their descendants know of this power. He

says my grandmother, when she was Darth Dvukhsotnaya, knew the

Force Power of Bradymancy. She slowed her heart rate and brain waves

down to the bare minimum possible for the tiniest semblance of life, and

that was how she was able to take the Jedi by surprise. Sorry."

 

She blushed. "If you can find any uniforms that the slavers and/or Sith

wore, see if you can disguise yourselves in them. I will use Bradymancy

upon myself, and you can say that you're carrying a dead hostage out

to the disposal grounds near us. I, of course, will still be very much alive!

 

"It's a risk, but I'm willing to take it. What about you?" She paused.

 

Force Power Gained: Bradymancy/Feign Death

[TreeX]

Warily Aegis kept his lightsaber in front of him, raising his left hand to his temple he sent a mental message to Kharne.

 

You got the girl?

Yeah. She's a bit shaken up and bruised but she's fine.

Good. You might wanna prepare, Republic troops somehow got on board this frigate.

What the hell...? Damn, republic troops don't take well to mandalorians.

Yep. Be careful.

 

Aegis lowered his hand from his temple,You're a bit late. My colleague has already neutralised all resistance defending the girl. He's heading toward the Myriad, we'd do better to guard the ship then head towards his position. Kharne can take care of himself and Tysy just fine.

 

Kharne's jaw twitched, spinning around he headed towards the Mandalorians leaving, they had left the three dead Mandalorians behind. Stripping the Mandalorian Corpse, he wore his full cover head to toe armour.

"This OK?"

 

((Odd, how the republic troops aren't the least bit fazed from having mental conversations...))

[steven]

After the fight Solidus jumped into an airvent and ran to the location of Tysy and Karne. He exitted the airvent and rushed to Tysy "Good work mandalorian. Maybe I was wrong about you. Now its time we destroyed this hidious vessel!"

[TreeX]

Dan and his 8 Republic soldiers strode through the ship's corridors, they had killed abhout 16 Sith troops with only one casualty but this will not last. The squad stopped by a Blast door being sliced open by their tech, Zendar. Suddenly the door exploded towards the Republic men, Zendar was vaporised immediately and two others were caught in the blast, causing fatal wounds.

 

Dan and his remaining 5 men stepped back raised their blasters and opened fire into the smoke, blaster bolts whizzed into the smoke... and came whizzing back out. Hitting 3 more men Dan and his last remaing Republic soldier, Truller, retreated down the corridor, blasters at the ready, backtracking. Stepping through the smoke, four men in dark robes stepped out, in their hands, lightsabers. Dan cursed and drew his vibroblade, as did Truller, the Sith approached calmly striding between the corpses of the Republic men, stepping on some of them. Truller charged first, but before meeting the SIth in combat he was lifted off the ground and a lightsaber flew up to him, cleaving the poor man in two. Dan swore in a rage and charged at the four figures, bringing his vibroblade down, the Sith blocked it and another Sith slashed open Dan's chest. Dan fell to his knees staring at the blood bursting forth from where should be his heart. He wanted to say something, but all that came out was a gurgle, he looked up at the Sith who raised his lightsaber, and Dan knew no more.

 

Aegis raised his head and cocked it to the side as if listening.

A disturbance in the Force. I will investigate, clear a path for Kharne, Tysy and Solidus.

 

Aegis deactivated his lightsaber and used Force Camoflage, stepping quietly down the corridor he followed what only he would consider a 'noise'.

[Jedi Atomic]

((Am i still with Aegis and Graother? So should I follow?))

[Writer]

I haven't left the Myriad, Taa'la told Aegis. Her lightsaber was in hand, but not ignited. I'll be here when the girl arrives.

 

She moved down the ramp of the ship and stood there, waiting...

[RobQel-Droma]

Coryn listened on his comlink. Good, they got Tysy back safe. Now, to find a way out of this dump. He walked through two more doors, blasting through two Sith, and finally walking right into three Sith spider droids. Oops, wrong way. He tossed a thermal det toward them, blowing up one and injuring the other. Turning on one of his Echani Shields, he blasted away at them. One flamed into a pile of debris seconds later, and the other moved behing a pillar. Jumping to the other side, Coryn ran across the room and rolled. Still firing, a lucky shot hit a vital component, disabling it.

 

Walking over to the droid, he pulled out some repair parts and repaired the droid, setting it to attack Trandoshans and other droids, along with Sith. The droid crawled through the corridor, and seconds later Coryn heard shouts and sounds of blasters. Laughing to himself, he headed on.

 

Feat Gain: Sniper Shot

Skill Gain: 2+ Repair

 

Several Trandoshans burst out of the door ahead of him. Turning on his stealth field generator, he crept up behind them. The stealth field shorted out, from a peice of shrapnel. Oh brother, what a time for this. Startled, the Trandoshans looked around and spotted him. Drawing his Vibro-blade, he threw it at the leader, sticking it right in his back, and drew his dual pistols. Throwing a flash grenade, he lept the the side, nailing a Trandoshan in the head. He soon gained respect for their weapons - even though they were ugly, they didn't have any slack in firepower. Tossing another grenade, he ran out and blasted at the Trandoshans, rapidly firing and taking down that last one.

 

After opening the door, he went up a corridor, and headed toward the hangar. Going through a couple of doors and looting the contents, he came face to face with a Sith commander, a Sith Trooper with his armor a shining red. Coryn grabbed him and flung him across the room, bashing him into the side of the wall. Grabbing his Vibroblade, he brought it across his face, and then drew his blaster and let him have it. After looking through the security cameras, Coryn realized that there was no way he could get through there. Looking around, he wondered what he could do.

 

Seconds later, a red Sith Commander walked through the other side of the door. Several Sith saluted him, and he walked through, going to the next door and opening it. The Sith Commander pulled off his helmet and went over to the security console. Well, Coryn thought, That went well. I just hope that the other Sith are like those. Looking through the cameras, he saw the rest of his party dressing in Sith uniforms, with Tysy. Smiling, he headed off, and in a few seconds was in the hangar in one of the Republic's small snub fighters. Wondering what the Republic was doing here, and why they had landed on the ship, he blasted off, waiting for the Myriad and Aegis's ship.

[TreeX]

Aegis was a bit reassured to the fact that 3 Jedi guarded Tysy however he was a bit anxious about the 'disturbance' in the Force. Aegis suddenly felt a little bit more then just a 'disturbance'.

 

Kharne, take the corridor to your left at the next crossroad, no matter what you do do not take the corridor to your right!

Kharne was surprised at the desperation in the usually calm Kel Dor's 'voice'. Uhh... Understood.

 

Aegis continued down the corridor turned around, uncloaked himself and waited.

 

The four Dark Jedi made their way around, turning around a corridor they were surprised to find a Jedi standing over several corpses. His aqua coloured lightsaber erupted from its hilt and the Jedi stood in the Makashi Form.

 

3 Dark Jedi ignited their single red lightsabers and advanced while the last one waited behind, his double bladed lightsaber hidden from view.

 

Aegis Force Jumped over the head of two of them, landing in between 2 and 1 he did a 360 turn his lightsaber coming out and crashing into theirs which just blocked it. Spinning his lightsaber in his grip he parried an overhand blow coming from behind, stepping to the right he dodged a thrust forward, slid his cyan lightsaber beneath the two nearly touching crimson blades, and heaved up. The two Dark Jedi arms were lifted above thewir heads while the third Dark Jedi thrust iin between them, Aegis twirled to the right, disembowling a Dark Jedi as he did so. Catching a Dark Jedi's blade in an uppercut, the remaining Sith swung his blade towards Aegis' face, twisting around the blade grazed his chest.

 

Aegis stumbled back, his labored breathing apparent over the din of combat in other parts of the ship. The two Dark Jedi advanced, one suddenly leapt forward and the other Force pushed Aegis, which resulted in the leaping Dark Jedi, surprised thrown over Aegis's head, Aegis took this opportunity to stab straight up, carving open the surprised Jedi.

 

The last Sith, struck out aain, this time narrowly missing Aegis' arm, Aegis used his momentum of dodging to the right to make a one handed arc towards the Sith's legs, the Sith blocked, the momentum of the swing forced the saber to the Jedi's legs, and the SIth's own Blood-red lightsaber removed his legs.

 

Spinning around, Aegis spun his lightsaber left and right, facing the last Dark Adept. The ... woman? Pulled her hands out form her cloak, a doublebladed crimson lightsaber igniting horizontally in her hands. Aegis stepped back, the first tastes of fear creeping up on him.

[Jedi Atomic]

((Well, i guess Scur isn't with you?))

 

Scur, Rayce , and the other men headed down the hall behind Aegis he waved for us to halt. They men stopped and waited. Aegis turned on his stealth generator and walked down the hallway. Scur decided to move another way and let Aegis fight by himself.

The men ran down the hallway from where they came from and they ran around the corner from where they met Aegis and Sith troopers were standing there examining the crushed door. Once Scur and his men ran around the corner the Sith noticed them and started shooting at them. Scur and his men ran behind the corner and started shooting back at them. Soon 2 men lie injured on the ground when the guy stopped shooting around the corner and said, "Well that's the last of them." Everyone hurried over to the rubble and searched for anymore soldiers and none were left.

"We need a medical lab here shortly before these two guys die." They hurried down the lab and searched the rooms for medical supplies finding none. Soon they heard men screaming and blasters firing down the hall. "That can't be good," said a soldier guarding the entrance, while everyone else scavenged for medical supplies. They ran down the hallway and finally found a medical room and again scavenged for medical supplies. They only found enough for healing the two soldiers and they wondered down the hallway where the blaster firing and screaming came from.
