United We Stand

[DrPhil2501]

Jaq was done clearing his share of the bodies. "Messy..." he clapped his hands together as he wiped them. "We can let them rot it in the sun for all I care..." he muttered gruffly. "Its their mess. They can deal with the funerals..."

 

The Mandalorian paced around the room where the conflict occured. "Great. Now that we have just blown up a sith base into smitherines and likely pissed them off greatly, whats the next phase?"

[Niftyeye]

(I havnt really got much to post, just letting you know that Im not going to die )

 

 

 

 

"I probably would mind, yes, you may hate him, but hes still going to lead us, it doesnt matter if you are a veteran of a 100 battles, there are still soldiers here who are conscripts fresh out of training, and they need hardasses like him to learn the tricks of the trade."

 

"Hey! I said shut it!" The sergeant boomed as he walked over and hit Taven with his rifle butt.

 

"You talk too much Taven! And who do we have here? Say.... you're not from this company and I havnt seen you around before.

 

'uh oh, how does he even know Im not from here when we're all wearing the same armour?' Aeran thought.

[Rachel_Ewok]

"Was the first thing he taught you Unarmed combat... and did he have a scar like a dragon on his right arm?

 

Shara's face paled, and she dropped her hydrospanner. A memory hit her full force,

 

"Now, I want you to hit me as hard as you can." A young Shara glanced at him with a smirk. "Alright." As she swung a punch at his chin, he caught her arm and turned it flipping her around, fending off her attack, but not hurting her. "See Shara? That is why you need to fight without blasters or swords... There may come a time when you don't have them, but there's people who want to hurt you around." He smiled, "Let's work on your form.

 

Shara remembered the dragon on his arm. "H-how did you know that Kevak...! How did you- Do you know where he is? What happened to him? Is he dead? How do you know him?" An unwanted tear began to roll down her cheek, and she fiercely wiped it away: she didn't cry.

 

"The dragon." She began, as she rolled up the sleeve on her right arm, "Did it look like this?" Shara had gotten it put on, because he said that she was one of his clan now. She had never gotten her father's clan on her arm, because he hadn't told her what it was- never showed her or really taught her. She had gotten the dragon, as a symbol of the brotherhood she shared with him, not her father, but a new man.

[Cyborg Ninja]

"H-how did you know that Kevak...! How did you- Do you know where he is? What happened to him? Is he dead? How do you know him?"

 

Her words spun around violently in his head. He was now just as shocked as she was. He never remembered training Shara yet from her responses it had to have been him, he was the only one left from his clan.

 

"That scar, it is a symbol. Everyone in my clan had that scar and they were all wiped out when I was little; I am the only member left. Your question though, how do I know him? Shara, I think I am him."

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Taven received a blow right on his back from the sergeant's rifle, cursing under his breath.

 

Say.... you're not from this company and I havnt seen you around before.

 

"He transferred over from Fire Team Bravo...sir" Taven lied not wanting to see another vet die.

[Rachel_Ewok]

"That scar, it is a symbol. Everyone in my clan had that scar and they were all wiped out when I was little; I am the only member left. Your question though, how do I know him? Shara, I think I am him."

 

Her body went numb, how could this be? The one she had loved, more deeply than any other emotion could have ever been, was standing before her. But this wasn't him. This wasn't the man who had taken her, accepted her, loved her back. This wasn't her brother, the other member of the clan of two: that man was gone from her life. She was the sole member of a clan that had become extinct, one she hadn't even ever known, except through one person.

 

"Lies! You're lying to me! How could this be?! What happened? Why, don't you remember me? It can't be you!"

[Nymf...]

Bail sat in the in the cockpit and looked out. He thought of Jojo. He wasn't suprised, but disapointed. He had been through far worse betrayals back in the war. He was glad Jojo was caught so fast, and all thanks to Kevak. Bail felt that he had missjudged Kevak, but then again treachary is part of being a Sith.

 

Jojo's betrayal explained so much, the attacks, not to mention the fleet outside the planet. The fleet Bail just realized that the Sith fleet would still be waiting for them when they left. Bail went out of the cockpit and joined the others again.

 

"People, I know there still might be some time before we'll take off. However I just remembered the Sith fleet waiting for us. And even if the ship works perfectly, we'd still get blown to dust quite easy. We need a back-up plan. The ship maybe isn't at 100% and something goes wrong, like system failures. And stealthing isn't an option this time. So, anyone got an idea? And could someone please check if the gun turrets are working properly?"

[Cyborg Ninja]

"Lies! You're lying to me! How could this be?! What happened? Why, don't you remember me? It can't be you!"

 

"When I was taken from my clan to become a Sith due to my abilities. I nearly died or that's what they told me and they put me in this suit. My clan was called the Shadowhood and we were a deadly but secret group. The sith attacked us one day and I was the sole survivor. If I taught you on Nar Shaada as you claim it must have been after that but I can't remember. I remember my clan and my sith training but thats about it, maybe the sith wiped my memory but couldn't take away who I was." Kevak thought for a minute. "Maybe there's a way to prove it, ask me something this man would know, or make me do something only he can do."

[ForeverNight]

"Great. Now that we have just blown up a ith base into [smithereens] and likely pissed them off greatly, whats the next phase?"

 

Thryyn sighed. "I haven't the foggiest." He muttered. "All I know is that the True Sith forces in the area are aware that we're here. And that means that the fecal matter is about to hit the fan." He paced for a little before making his way over to the armory, he needed a new weapon.

 

Finding the armory door open, Thryyn slipped in and made his way over to the rifle section. It didn't take him long to decide on a basic disruptor rifle that looked like it had seen a few years worth of service. Affixing a scope to it as well as cleaning out the barrel, Thryyn decided that it was probably in better shape that when it was new.

 

He walked over to the dormitories and checked his chrono, 1755, that explained why he was almost dead on his feet! He'd been awake for almost.... carry the two... twenty-two hours, and he wasn't as young as he used to be.

 

He found the dorms and the bunk he'd claimed as his and laid down on it, somehow finding comfort in the very uncomfortable bed....

 

((Cyborg, Rachel, enjoy drama much? ))

[DrPhil2501]

((you remind me of my english teacher, Night BTW, forgive me if I missed anything while I was gone but have we killed that Darth Auror-guy yet? ))

 

In other words, the encounter of the Sith Lord they are trying to kill will soon be taken into shape. Jaq sighed. He glanced as Bail entered the room and tuned in on their status and situation.

 

"So, anyone got an idea? And could someone please check if the gun turrets are working properly?"

 

Jaq rubbed his chin while thinking. "They got us in real tight spot here..." he walked over to the center of the Security room and displayed a holographic projection of the planet.

 

"Ok, based on a normal logic, I assume this blockade has encircled the planet in a single-ring like form. Which cardinal direction have we landed in, Bail?"

[Niftyeye]

Aeran secretly thanked the Sith for lieing for him, but at the same time felt bad for knowing that he was a spy.

 

Just then the whole unit felt a rocking in the base, as if a part of it had just been blown up.

 

 

"Get ready!" The sergeant shouted.

 

 

(Iv only really been reading Cyborg's posts, did you guys just blow me up?)

[Nymf...]

"Ok, based on a normal logic, I assume this blockade has encircled the planet in a single-ring like form. Which cardinal direction have we landed in, Bail?"

 

Bail observed the holographic projection. "North-west. So as you can see we've landed in the same direction as the planets rotation." Bail sighed. "I hate when things never goes smooth."

[ForeverNight]

((Phantom, the answer to your question is, unfortunately, Negative. We haven't killed this Darth... Thingy...))

 

"Damn!" He shouted, "he destroyed it all."

 

Vynn stumbled out of the room, his sight starting to go funny... It's been, what, four hours? He thought to himself, doing some quick math and WAG's. Withdrawal symptoms should be setting in about now.

 

He blinked several times, trying to clear the room of the odd slope the floor seemed to take on, as well as the garish pink walls... What the hell was the person who just painted this doing? Pause. Wait... when I walked through here originally, it was just a plain drab military gray.

 

He stumbled slightly before he heard some voices, coming from the engine room.

 

"Maybe there's a way to prove it, ask me something this man would know, or make me do something only he can do."

 

Vynn stumbled into the room, grasping the bulkhead as he did so. His eyes were unfocused and he could only make out the vaguest shapes. "Ke...Ke..." Dammit, what's his name? "You." He said finally, pointing at Kevak. "Do you have any... any..." Vynn couldn't help it, for some reason he felt that Kevak wearing his exo-suit was the funniest thing in existence, he borke down laughing.

 

Between laughs he managed. "Any... ...cure... ... for... ... ... Asdi" He almost hissed out the last word. He looked down and saw what appeared to be a datapad... he thought.

 

((@Phantom: Darth Auroris, I just checked the BCC thread. Otherwise, I'm sorry Cyborg but I just had to break up the heart-to-heart chat you were about to have with Rachel... It just was too good an opportunity to pass up.))

[Rachel_Ewok]

"Maybe there's a way to prove it, ask me something this man would know, or make me do something only he can do."

 

Shara was about to open her mouth to speak, when Vynn stumbled into the room. What was wrong with him?

 

She then glanced at Kevak and narrowed her eyes, "You could let me see your face. Then I would know." She stopped, "Somebody dunk this man in the 'fresher." She rolled her eyes, not entirely sure what was wrong with him. He looked tripped out on spice but she couldn't completely tell.

 

Then he started laughing at Kevak for no real reason, "Mmm, that's definently it." She muttered to herself and stalked out of the room. "What do *I* have to do to get my hands on some glitterstim?" She mumbled, rouding a corner. She wouldn't go for the asdi, wasn't something she wanted to get into.

 

((@ FN, yeah drama much XD We planned it over PM, hows THAT a twist for ya. =P))

[Cyborg Ninja]

"You could let me see your face. Then I would know."

 

"My... my face?" Kevak started before Vynn began laughing.

 

Kevak turned and saw that Vynn was laughing at him. Before he pulled out his saber he looked into Vynn's eyes and saw that he was not himself at the moment.

 

"If you weren't high off of something right now Vynn, your jaw would have been broken in half." Kevak said coldly.

 

He turned around and saw that Shara had walked away, at this point if she wanted to see his face he'd make it a public thing. He walked right to where the group was and at the same time to Shara. He walked in front of her and looked her in the eyes.

 

"You wish to see my face?... then so be it." Kevak said as he hit a button on the side of his helmet. The red eye on his mask split in half and moved back slightly revealing his eyes and nose. The jaw piece did the same revealing his own jaw. The eye pieces moved back further revealing his forehead. "There, this is who I am," Kevak said letting her look at his face for a few seconds. He then hit the button again and the mask replaced his face once more.

 

"I couldn't help but hear the problem you're having there Bail and I say if the Sith are expecting a ship we give them one" Kevak replied in a mysterious tone.

 

((I don't think anyone got blown up Niftyeye))

[DrPhil2501]

"North-west. So as you can see we've landed in the same direction as the planets rotation."

 

"Right..." Jaq decreased the magnification of the planet so the hologram could outline the blockade of ships. "Just as I thought; main Sith Cruisers and control ships form the line of the blockade, with Sith Fighters zooming around the entire planet. Though this blockade form is known as a "ring", it doesn't exactly live up to its name."

 

He pointed in the north and south directions. "These area's are only swarming with Fighters. Better those than to face the larger fish in the tank. So if we fully charge the deflector shield to maximum and fix up the gun turrets, I say we exit either the North or South region at full speed."

 

He looked at Bail. "It may not seem very pretty, but the way I see it; it may be our only option for survival."

 

"I couldn't help but hear the problem you're having there Bail and I say if the Sith are expecting a ship we give them one"

 

"Get captured by the enemy?" Jaq simplified. "And if we do, what do you think they'll do to us, Kevak?"

[Nymf...]

"These area's are only swarming with Fighters. Better those than to face the larger fish in the tank. So if we fully charge the deflector shield to maximum and fix up the gun turrets, I say we exit either the North or South region at full speed."

 

He looked at Bail. "It may not seem very pretty, but the way I see it; it may be our only option for survival."

 

"But there's a risk flying to far in the atmo... undetected anti-aircraftcannons shoot us down. But still that would be better I guess."

 

"I couldn't help but hear the problem you're having there Bail and I say if the Sith are expecting a ship we give them one"

 

"Get captured by the enemy?" Jaq simplified. "And if we do, what do you think they'll do to us, Kevak?"

 

"No, we wont get captured, we'll be dead first."

[Cyborg Ninja]

"Get captured by the enemy?" Jaq simplified. "And if we do, what do you think they'll do to us, Kevak?"

 

"No, we wont get captured, we'll be dead first."

 

Kevak gave a slight laugh to both of the responses he revieced.

 

"I said we give them a ship, not the ship. That mech we destroyed back near that base was held together not by wires but by the force. My idea is to simply uses the pieces to make it look like a ship and that handy device which should still be in that sith's ear to control the fake ship. We use that fake ship as a shield and a distraction while we are shielded and cloaked in the real ship making our getaway. Personally I'd like to stay and fight them but logically this plan isn't as risky."

[Nymf...]

Personally I'd like to stay and fight them but logically this plan isn't as risky."

 

"I see. But why not using an actual ship? Isn't Shara's ship in one piece? I mean if they are tagging along, I guess they wont need it. But about that cloaking... you and Evelyn made a very impressive job last time. It was one of the most impressive things I've seen people do with the force, and I've seen alot. Cloaking an entire ship and it's crew, heh. But let's not forget that it almost killed us last time. My job became way harder, not being able to read incoming data, and the gravity and such. And I know it's easier to leave a planet than enter it, but still..."

[DrPhil2501]

"And plus..." Jaq added. "Its a great plan and all, but who is gonna' control the fake ship?"

 

Under the sheer complexity that the droid could only be operated by the force, a Jedi could be more suited to the task. Thats if s/he could perform such a task, that is.

 

"I agree with Bail. If Erik is done playing with that crap boat of his, we might as well put it to good use. If it isn't as archaic as it looks, we could get it to run on auto-pilot."

[Rachel_Ewok]

"You wish to see my face?... then so be it."

 

Shara's eyes filled with tears, "It's... it's you." She stopped, and shut her eyes, turning around she stepped backwards into the group of other members of the party.

 

As the conversation shifted to the ship and cloaking devices Shara spoke up again. "Our ship is indeed in one piece, however it is not large enough for everyone however. We do have a functional cloaking device. You're welcome to take it and use it for this ship if it would help."

[patient_zero]

"I said we give them a ship, not the ship. That mech we destroyed back near that base was held together not by wires but by the force.

We use that fake ship as a shield and a distraction while we are shielded and cloaked in the real ship making our getaway. Personally I'd like to stay and fight them but logically this plan isn't as risky."

 

It was at this point Zarena realised there was a conversation going on in the room.

 

"Look, I hate to piss on your parade, but what's flying this fake ship out going to do to stop them from blowing us up too? One hunk of metal probably isn't going to be enough to satisfy them."

 

She sunk back against the wall, arms folded. "I took down some of the outgoing frequencies from the comm room back at that base. If one of them's a ship, we might be able to convince them to let us through. But it's a long shot, and if we fail we're dead," she muttered. Though most of our current plans are long shots, so mine's no worse...

[Cyborg Ninja]

"I completely forgot about the other ship. We can use that ship to represent us and have any sith chase after that one via the autopilot." Kevak looked over at Zarena. "Zarena do you think you could figure out what frequency they might be on? From there all we could either find out where a major sith base is from the captain of the other ship, or if one of us is good at hacking we take over the other ship and see what we can find out."

 

-------------------------------------------------------------

 

A tall dark figure sat in his chair plotting what his next move would be.

 

Statement: The sith apprentice Quin is dead

 

The figure looked up to see an HK-52 assassin droid standing in front of him. It looked exactly like and HK-50 but its armor was black with green eyes. This droid had better shielding, was stronger, could block lightsaber attacks, and one other special ability that even the figure did not know about.

 

"I felt her death, and what of our mech?"

 

Quick Response: Destroyed

 

"And what of Revan's precious group?"

 

Response: They are still alive

Threat: but not when I get to them

 

"I will trick them into going to Nar Shaddaa and I intend for that to be their last visit"

 

Response: They will not leave Nar Shaddaa alive Master Auroris

 

"Good you may kill all but one"

 

Question: Who exactly must I spare?

 

"Sion's pet... William Graff, you are to bring him to me alive."

 

Dark Question: Must he come back alive in full health?

 

Auroris let out a chuckle, "No not at all"

 

Statement: I will return when I have the meatbag

 

Darth Auroris watched as the droid exited the room

 

Stupid bucket of metal, it won't stand a chance Auroris thought to himself.

 

Auroris picked up his comlink and made his orders very precise.

 

"I want ships to circle Nar Shaddaa and lure those fools into thinking there's danger. While this occurs I want strike teams to be sent out all over Coruscant. They are to find and kill Revan and any of his loyal members."

 

((Not sure if Auroris is up for cc or not but all I'm doing here is progressing the plot if that's alright with everyone.))

[Niftyeye]

(Sorry havnt replied in a while, I was on holiday for a week and a bit, and dont you guys forget Aeran!)

 

 

Aeran looked around, the sith were still sitting in their defenses and not showing any signs of moving, suddenly the captain rose and pointed at Aeran, his new friend, and a couple of others.

 

"You lot! Advance to the known location of the enemy 'base of operations' and conduct a scouting run, what are you waiting for? Move it!" He barked as Aeran moved off stalked by the enemy....

 

 

'Where the hell are you guys....' he thought to himself as he advanced with his 'comrades', he still felt bad knowing that he was soon having to shoot them all, and he felt uneasy despite being sure that he was on the right side........

 

(Keep an eye on Aeran, hes starting to question his values lol)

[DrPhil2501]

"Look, I hate to piss on your parade, but what's flying this fake ship out going to do to stop them from blowing us up too? One hunk of metal probably isn't going to be enough to satisfy them."

 

Jaq rubbed his chin. The cloaking technique might not go so well, if these fighters have radar. "Then we may need to escape in an area where there are the least amount of fighters. By the time reinforcements come to join the party, we'd be long gone..."

 

He paced around the ship. "Okay, we send in the fake ship. Then while they deal with that, and we to begin exit the atmosphere, we quickly punch in the coordinates for the hyperdrive. Then when they turn their focus on us, we zoom our arse outta here."

 

Jaq leaned against the holoprojector. "Right after we deal with this Sith Lord here, of coarse." he reminded.

[ForeverNight]

Thryyn tossed in his bed. He just couldn't fall asleep! He looked over at his wrist chrono and groaned in despair, not fifteen minutes had passed, and it had felt more like fifteen hours.

 

He got out of his bunk slowly, feeling his joints crack as he did so, and put on the nerf-leather flight jacket he'd bought years ago along with some basic pants. Walking out of the dormitories -and blinking rapidly against the light- he walked into the center room where everybody seemed to be congregating.

 

"Okay, we send in the fake ship. Then while they deal with that, and we begin exit the atmosphere, we quickly punch in the coordinates for the hyperdrive. Then when they turn their focus on us, we zoom our arse outta here."

 

Thryyn shook his head and then entered the conversation.

 

"Look, I may just be a ground-pounder, but doesn't it stand to reason that the Sith will expect something like that? I mean, their not stupid, no matter how much we may wish to the contrary."

 

He paused and thought about the blockade on the planet.

 

"Bail, why don't we fly away from the ring, say a hundred klicks or so, and then punch out of the atmosphere? If we fly low and fast enough, then we should be able to avoid the Sith's radar..." He looked off and did some quick math in his head. "Where's Aeran?"
