RPG: Age of Skywalker (Page 26 of 30)

Xan ducked sharply as the lightsaber hummed over his head, he then made a half turn and slammed his clawed foot into Former Inquisitor Starjammer's chest, sending him flying back and most likely cracking a rib or two. The other Jensaarai, apparently the leader made a vertical slash at Xan, who rolled and killed his last remaining body guard. Starjammer had recovered and now moved in to surround him, the mandalorians held their fire, their blaster trained on Xan as he was forced back against the giant transparisteel view port A low chuckle came from one of the mandalorians. "Looks like you have your self trapped." The leader of the Jensaarai slowly moved him, lightsaber at his side. "I win, inquisitor."

Xan's feet had been modified, now clawed, useful for gripping things, and also climbing. He dug them into the deck. He  looked at them, his photo receptors glowing ominously red "No. You lose Jensaarai." He smashed his electrostaff into the view port, the weak shield meant to keep stray shots from destroying the view port overloaded, and deactivated.  The blast shields that were supposed to spring into place in the event of a breach did not, as they had been prematurely disabled. A deafening roar sounded, as emergency lights flashed. Xans cloak billowed in the explosive decompression as everyone on the bridge, alive and dead was sucked out into vacuum flailing wildly, searching for a hand hold. Xan spun his electrostaff once more, and the blast shields finally closed on the bridge, leaving Xan alone in the darkness.

((Do not interfere with ze plans))

A moment of shock grips me as rapid decompression sucks us all out into the void of space. I instantly feel the deaths of the Jensaarai, including my own father, in the force. I am gripped by terror as the decompression robs me of my anguished scream. The suit I've built and modified seals against the cold vaccuum of space and I feel my temporary lifesupport kick in. It still feels dangerously cold, whether it be the shock of the Jensaarai deaths, the sudden loss of my father, or the lack of heat in space.

A swift passing flight of Predators rips past me. I propell myself towards the decrepit Shadow's hull with the force and activate the magnetic clamps, adhering myself to the surface.

Things are bad. My HUD screams all sorts of warnings about failing systems. I breathe and I know my ribs have broken. The suits IV drug system sdministers emergency painkillers. I know that will seriously hamper my abilities. Time is running out.

The battle over Mandalore rages fiercely.

I begin my slow, arduous walk towards the nearest possible access point.

THE IMPERIAL ORDER'S PEACEKEEPER FLEET FLAGSHIP "OVERLORD'S SHADOW," OVER MANDALORE,

Ensign Sein Corvesh knew it was bad out there. He was in serious trouble and knew that he had no clue about how he'd get out. It was his misfortune that on the eve of battle over the planet Mandalore that he would be stricken with a severe case of diarrhea.

More unfortunate for him that he was posted on engineering detail at the moment a particularly uncomfortable bout of diarrhea struck him. He'd made a deal to get coverage from a fellow Ensign, and was uncomfortably expelling his malady when the first explosion shook the vessel, followed by blasterfire and then silence. He waited for a long time, not daring to leave the refresher, for fear of what he might encounter.

His most unfortunate circumstance was the sound of an angry humming nest of insects louder than anything he'd ever heard. Then with the floor around him and the toilet being carved by the unmistakable red glow of a lightsaber, he knew his fate was sealed. He felt the intense heat, and paralyzed by fear, could only watch as the blade completed its circle. Then he felt the toilet and himself fly up towards the ceiling.

"This is how it ends..." was his only thought.

Then nothingness.

The black clad PK trooper monitored his twenty-three fellows as they continued to dig in.  Left in charge, the clone sergeant had given up watching his radar monitor every second due to the lack of any threatening movements from the barely readable contacts that had been out there.  For the most part he’d been concentrating on preparing a working defense. 

This damn jungle is playing hell with this thing’s range he griped to himself.  Normally it would be able to cover a much larger field of…

“CONTACT!” he shouted.  “12 O’clock!”

The squad instantly dropped their tools and dove into their still shallow trench work, weapons beaded on the jungle ahead.  The X86 gunner trained his weapon from one cover-spot to the next waiting for some movement.

The trooper in commend alternated his gaze back and forth from the sensor display to the treeline ahead of him.  The threats on the radar display had grown dangerously clear, and were less then 100 meters ahead just out of site in the jungle ahead, and they were getting steadily closer.

The sergeant switched to his long-range comlink.  “Commander Griffin, come in.”  Static was the only response.  “Commander Griffin, we have enemy contact as LZ Alpha, come”

*CRACK*

The clone sergeant felt no pain, but a hard punch in the back sent him forward more then a step, leaving him frozen in place.  From the corner of his photo-receptor’s left filed of vision, he could see a translucent shape lift, then form into a armored fist and blaster.

                                                                                                                          * * *

Ralin thrust his wrist blades into the sergeant’s back with all his might.  The crack of the trooper’s lower back plate, and spine, was very audible.  At the same second, Ralin disengaged his cloaking devise and raised his left pistol at the heavy blaster’s gunner. 

“Looking for us?” he asked as he squeezed the trigger.  The gunner took a direct hit to the side of his helmet before he could fully turn. 

As the commander Ralin had stabbed fell, the other four Mando’s who’d also had sensor dampenors opened fire.  A few of the PK troopers jumped up, only to be gunned down by snipers in the treeline.

Ralin blasted a pair of troopers who tried to rush him, and picked off another. Putting his boot into the fallen sergeant’s back as his team finished the last of the PKs, Ralin pulled his wrist blades free, cracking the black plastoid and a couple ribs as the jagged blades were extracted.

“That was too easy” Cabur said.  “They’re no match for us on the ground”

“Don’t get cocky” said Ralin as his blades snapped back into his gauntlet with a *shing.*  “Destroy everything.  And do it quickly in case they had friends nearby.”

Cabur and a couple of the others nodded, turning their blasters, flamethrowers, grenades, and other weapons on the assorted gear left by the invaders.  Soon all the sensor and command post equipment was in ruins.

With a wave of his hand, Ralin led his team back into the jungle to friendly lines...

Tanis watched as the Force sensitive being walked towards him, Shiv and the Mandalorian. She was a human female, short blonde hair, with striking eyes. She got close enough so that the dust from the explosion didn't deter Tanis from seeing her face, but with Tanis' hood up, She could not see his.

There was abn awkward moment of silence as Tanis and Shiv regestered the fact that there was yet ANOTHER Force sensitive being trained in the Force that had fallen into their midst. She was having the same feeling.

"Are you alright? Were you hurt by the explosion?" Tanis asked her in an effort to just say something.

"No, no i'm fine." She turned to the Mandalorian "You ok Solus?"

"Yeah, I'm all here." The Mandalorian replied.

"So who are you?" The female asked

"I am Jedi Master Tanis Ardion. This is my apprentice Master Shiv (Shiv roars a soft greeting)." Tanis answers

"Jedi Master? A Jedi Master here? I dont understand, I didnt think there were any other Jedi around, much less here on Mandalore." She responds

"So my thoughts are confirmed. You ARE a Jedi."

"Yes, my name is Aliyah Onasi." She stuck out her hand a smiled, her blue green eyes flashed and matched the enthusiasum of her smile. Tanis shook it and smiled himself, but it was not seen from under his hood.

"Enough with the Jedi reunion. We need to get out of here before the place falls on our heads." Solus said and led the way.

"Sir....i think you best look at this" Amanda said over the internal comms.

"This best be good, men take ten! make it a quick ten though! quick smoke, drink and where gone!" Griffin replied as he walked over to Amanda, Hawk had also joined them.

"What is it?" Griffin asked

Amanda and hawk looked at each other, Hawk gave amanda the nod and went off, taking out a cigar and his water bottle

"It's LZ alpha, We just lost every single little bit on them, beacons, comms and path finder teams posted around the jungle noticed plumes of smoke coming from the area" Amanda reported, taking a big gulp

"Dam...DAM DAM DAM DAM!!!!" Griffin shouted as he banged his fist against his helmet several times. before kicking a tree,

"Bastard tree!" Griffin screamed

"Commando's where moving back, stay frosty as F**k though, LZ alpha has just been downed, i repeat LZ alpha is no more!" He shouted over his comms.

"TIGSSSS!!!! you've got point again!" He screamed

Tigs let off a massive sigh and threw away his cigar butt, Sniper rifle in hand he took off to the front, the commando team followed. Moving as slow as turtle almost to avoid any sign of radar detection.

"Motion scanners set to full proximity men, stay stealthed at all times....HAWK put out that F**king ciggie!" He roared

Hawk immediatley threw his butt into the over growth.

"This is call sign victor zulu one, come in base plate!" Amanda said over the comms

"This is base plate, go ahead Victor zulu one"

"Peacekeeper force alpha is down, i repeat PK force alpha is down! LZ alpha is compromised, therefore is shut! i repeat Landing zone alpha is shut!!"

"Roger that victor zulu one, LZ alpha shut. Reclaim it at all costs, reinforcements will be dropped in, ETA 6 hours. Baseplate out"

Amanda gave Griffin the thumbs up, Griffin responded by blowing her a kiss and then a nod as soon as he saw the glare he recieved.

*THIS RPG SHALL NOT GO QUETLY INTO THE NIGHT!!!!!……….i hope.  I’m up to keep it alive, who else is?  I know there’s a couple other RPs up, but if we can keep a little breath in this monster until one of them folds, I’d love to ride this one to an ending*

Ralin and his team of Mandos finally reached friendly lines. 

“Good to have you back sir” said the sergeant Ralin had left in charge of this sector of the battle line.

“Thanks Sergeant.  Any activity out there?”

“Plenty.  They’ve got patrols out looking for us; not many have come this deep yet though; the few that did won’t be going home.”

“Good work.  They’ll figure out where we went soon enough.  Then we’ll give them a welcome they’ll never forget…”

* I'm always game.... I've just been unsure on how to proceed. What else is new eh? But with the nice new laptop I am hoping that I am inspired more. *

((hehehe, i'm back! and you just gave me a good way of coming back in with out a word.!))

*zoncxs*

-INSIDE A CAVE-

I don't know how long he has been out cold, I'm bad with time but it's a good thing his droid is off. I don't need headaches right now. it's hard as it is to conceal both of our force readings and put a bubble up around the cave AND cloak it so no one gets any idea of coming in. though as time passes it is beginning to become easier to do in this cave for some reason...

I don't know how long i have been here, waiting. since I left I had felt something, something pulling me to come here. no answer, just waited, meditating, silently. then all that fighting out there woke me up. I thought I would have to fight but then he comes falling out of the sky. he would have died if I had not cushioned the fall. and then having to take on those guy's with weird, but cool looking, armor. they got lucky when facing me, I spared there lives, and they believe there are no survivors. How long is he gonna stay asleep? right now we are stuck between a rock and a hard place. hey that was a good saying, i'm gonna use that one. need to think of a way out of here alive....i'm hungry.

Ok i really want to post, but i dont really know where to go. Right now i think Tanis, Shiv, Tealani, Resh, Aliyah and Solus are together but I dont know exactly where to go.

Also, AA, did Xan alone just beat the Jensaari, Starjammer, his father, and some Mandalorians??? Im not buying that.

(( what's up with everybody? come on people! right some stuff!))

CAVE ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF KELDABE, MANDALORE

I'm not sure how I'm here, but it doesn't feel quite right. I'm wearing the armor of the Saraai-Kaar and walking through a wasteland of ruins. It's not Mandalore, i know that much for sure. It looks ancient and dead, with ruins and statues that can only be identified as Sith. I don't remember much since I'd crashed. I just know I'm not supposed to be here. Up ahead I see a shadowy figure in dark robes walking towards me. He feels familiar in the force somehow. As the figure walks closer I feel a whirlwind of emotions coming from him. Anger and resentment and fear, but they are wrapped in layers around a stable white core of goodness I recognize quite well.

"Skywalker..." I say, surprised yet a little afraid.

He looks at me sternly yet speaks softly, "Theyda Starjammer, I don't have much time. I'm being held captive here by an unknown faction of Sith. They have forced me into periodic force trances to ensure I don't cause them any trouble. The effort weakens them, as it weakens me to maintain this link. My sister will be arriving at Mandalore soon to assist in repelling the Peacekeeper forces. She has struck a deal with the Chiss' Grand Admiral Thrawn. You must make haste to free me from here."

"Where are you, Overlord?"

He looks troubeled by the title. "I've decided to step down as Overlord and assist in building a new government when this is over. I've seen the damage such titles cause. Find a planet named Korriban. I must go..."

I awaken with a start...
