Meanwhile.... Back in the forest where the Raiders and Black Dragoons were stationed, Jedi began setting the explosives. He used manual controls for the carpet mines, that way he could back away far enough to be out of reach. When all of the mines were planted, Jedi was about to back off when he tripped and fell. When Jedi fell, he landed on his lightsaber, causing it to ignite. With a SWISH the red lightsaber ignited from the stormtrooper's belt. This managed to ignite the explosives and damage Jedi. The tower was falling the right way, but Jedi was right under it. Thinking quickly, Jedi activated force speed and got out from under the falling tower! Although Jedi escaped, the rest of his squad was not so lucky. The Raiders were attacked while Jedi was blowing up the Tower. Jedi got back to where they had been positioned his white Stormtrooper armor all destroyed from the explosions. He needed a medic droid to treat him, but that would have to wait. Jedi noticed the squad had all taken some kind of injury, but none worse than MasterMind and Yellow_5. They had a very short time to live, unless things got any better which seemed highly unlikely. "What happened here?" asked the unknowing Jedi. "We were attacked while you were dealing with the tower." replied Snake."Yellow_5 and MasterMind here, haven't much longer to live. They wished to see you before passing on." "Is there a chance that they will live?" asked Jedi. "A small chance, but not likely to happen." replied Snake "What needs to be done?" "Basically, what they need is a medic droid. We don't have any around here." "I remember picking up a strange signal on the comlink a while ago. It sounded like that Bear fellow from VEN is in the neighborhood." "JEDI! THAT'S IT!" said SNAKE in excitement. "What?" "We can have Bear go and get a Medic Droid. He may not be the most favorable guy in the navy, but he's definately trustworthy!" "If you say so..." "Can you get a hold of him?" "Lemme see." "Sargeant Jedi to Luitennant Bear! Bear are you there?" "Ya, I'm here Jedi. What do you want?" replied Bear. "2 of our men are about to die. They NEED a Medic Droid, I need u to go back to base and pick one up. Then, bring it back here." said Jedi. "No can do! I have this beast trying to eat me, and I am in a trench trying to save me. If you can get me out of here ALIVE, I can get u the droid. Hell, I'll get u 10 if u want. If u can't make it in time, at least they will die honorably in the line of duty!" replied Bear. "Bear, where are you?" asked Jedi. "I'm in the mines." said Bear. "On my way!" replied Jedi. "Snake, I have to go save Bear. He got himself in some kind of bind again." "Again?" asked Snake. "Yea, again. Anyways he can go get us medic DROIDS if U can save him from some beast." said Jedi. "What about your armor? You can't go like that!" noted Snake. "I don't care! Those 2 need my help and I'm going to help them! I have my VEDJ robe on and I'll just have to fight with my lightsaber!" insisted Jedi. "Well, I Shouldn't let you go, but I will. I admire your determination to help your fellow troopers Jedi, and I'm proud of you! Go on! Save all 3 of 'em. Stop in and see the 2 strormtroopers before you go though." Said Snake. "No problem." replied Jedi.

Stressed ribs could't keep the Fallen Angels out of the line of combat, and they were soon back into it. The missle that had impacted the base had been of a decent size to need a stationary launcher, which meant facilities that were hidden from orbit. This also meant an extreme threat to any permanent residence the VE might take up on this planet, so they had to be eliminated. They split up into scout parties, and Argon was put in charge of the search, even with stressed ribs, he was the best scout of the group. They split into groups of two, dividing the map of probable areas into a grid, each group searching an area of the grid. They were going to find it, and anyone who was there wouldn't live too long...

Fury was glad he wasn't piloting the freighter.  He already had a huge headache. A bit battered and beaten, but the troops on the ground looked to be making progress.  And, finally, they looked to be taking the mission seriously.  Which meant that less of them were likely to die. Still on that subject, Fury remembered the situation they had run into with the Raiders earlier in the day.  It was one of the cruel realities of war that the young died no matter what you did. With the Bantha Stampede fueled and provisioned, it was obvious that Cosmic was out and about and out of comm range.  So, with the permission of the mayor, Talon and he jumped into the XP-291 Skimmer the city official used as a work vehicle and took off in search of the missing Training officer. While trying to find Cosmic so they return to Tadath, Talon and he had run into SGT Jedi quick timing it over a mountain pass.  They stopped to pick up the trooper, who was on a combination of missions.  First they dropped Jedi back with the Raiders.  A gunner/medic from the Stampede riding along grabbed all the med gear he could and went to work on the two injured troopers. Meanwhile, they gunned the skimmer and made it to Bear's location.  TIE Droids had pretty much taken care of his transport.  A cursory pass from the skimmer ensured that at the least the hyperdrive and sublight engines were shot.  Maybe the repulsors were enough to get it back to a repair facility...otherwise it was just so much scrap. Fury got the Dominion to call off the circling TIE Droids and attached two to their gathering team mission.  The rest returned for refueling and fresh orders. They found the pilot soon after.  Bear, from the VE Navy, had come looking for some ore that he could've easily purchased from the community they had been calling home for the past week or so.  He was chucking rocks at a local predator, long since drained of blaster power.  A couple stun bolts from their sidearms dropped the beast and they collected Bear.  Along the way, they finally found Cosmic...or rather, he found them.  Following his comm traffic brought them into contact with a skirmish line of enemy troops. The TIE Droids provided cover fire as the combined firepower they carried dropped the three troops in the area.  At least a half dozen others went for cover.  Cosmic quickly and excitedly led them to the prone body of an apparent sniper wearing New Imperium BDUs.  Talon quickly pointed out that the spotter was in a mishmash of a New Republic tunic and COMPNOR-issue pants and gear.  The other body wore basic clothes and a Corellian Hunt Vest.  Whoever the sniper was, he was likely an Imperial deserter who found a new cause as a mercenary.  Fury would file the report, but Intel was likely right that no Imperial forces at large were opposing them at the moment. They left before the enemy got bold again, watched their escort peel off for their own refueling and returned to the Raiders location.  As they descended, they knew the worst had happened.  The look of their gunner told the story...it had been too late to save either trooper, if it had ever been possible. The gunner jumped in and apologized for not saving who he could.  It was a tight squeeze and a somber journey, but the team returned to the spaceport, leaving Bear to haggle for ship recovery and repair fees after negotiating a delivery contract with Imperial Center for the badly needed quatra-anium. With that, the command staff's adventure on Anobis had ended. OOC:  Command is off the planet.  Squad leaders are on their own.  Good luck and good hunting.   ----------------------- CMP CMDR/MAJ Fury/1CMP/1BAT/1RGT/VEA/TADATH/VE [SotE:HC][SotE:VEA][IOC] Shopkeeper - Imperial Center

Agent knelt behind a pile of bodies, still firing wildly at the enemy.  He decided to take a look.  He gave a signal to Raziel, who was behind another larger pile.  It was only about 15 yards between them, but it looked a lot longer. "Here goes..." Agent said aloud for no apparent reason.  He liked doing things like that, just for the effect.  Might as well have a countdown, he figured. "3......" "2......" "GO!!!!!"  he yelled out loud.  He never could handle suspense like that... Looking straight at the enemy, Agent made a mad dash across the open space, firing as he ran, and screaming like a bat out of the deepest, darkest, noisiest circle of Hell that Satan could ever dream up.  When he was about 2 yards away, he made a jump for it.  A blaster bolt hit him in his right arm, and he hit the ground hard. "Damn it," he said to Raziel, "These are my last 2 grenades.  Now blow someone up." Agent used his left hand and kept firing and waiting for backup.

DW looked up from the scope of his sniper rifle and saw that Jedi's liitle explosion just caused one of the wells of the barracks to collaspe. "We could use this to our advantage.  Hey WW and DJ and want you two to get behind those crates over there and lay down heavy fire." "Shadow, you still have thost cryoban grenades I handed to you?" "Yeah, I got two left." "OK, that good enough.  Shadow I want you to chuck those cryoban grenades into the collasped wall of the barracks, WW and DJ will lay down heavy fire for you and I'll be up here watching your back, once WW and DJ stop shooting quickly throw them in and hopefully those damn rebels will freeze up." "Sounds like a good plan to me.  Lets do it."

Raxen ran towards an area that seemed to be possibly under heavy protection meaning that there might be intelligence offices there. Stopped by a coded machine asking for password, Raxen flipped out his handy tool - a thermal detonator with less-than-usual power. Soon after, Raxen pressed the 'Fire' button and the control panel was blown into bits. Raxen opened it up to reveal a computer inside. He started furiously decoding and the the door slid silently. He ran down the corridor and came to a room - INTELLIGENCE. A small grin spread across his face. Hitching his gun, he kicked the door open with one swift kick and blasted down all the personnels inside. After that, he bound the senior officer that he just wounded on the knee up and haul him aside to be brought back to Home Base for questioning before turning his attention to a heavy-powered computer. He took out a disc, inserted it into the computer and hacked into all the systems in and connected to the computer, halted all communications from this base to the rest and shut down all defense mechanisms controlled by machines. He found files containing lists of all the officers, top secrets and vital maps of all enemy bases. Raxen grinned. Home Base should be happy with this. After he had withdrawn all possible information, he released a deadly virus into the systems. The screen went blank. Removing the disc, Raxen turned and dragged the officer with him out of the area to be transported back to Base. He found a place and radioed Base. 'Home, Raxen here. Requesting transportation for a prisoner and vital information back to Home Base.' 'Received. Transport at North entrance in 5 minutes time.' 'Roger heard.' Raxen clicked off his comlink and waited for the transport.

    The current situation was this: Wraiths had won the race to the central building. There were many troops inside and they kept the wraiths at bay. Agent is hit and stranded almost in the open; fortunately he is out of the line of fire.     EIH, along with the miners, have managed to round up all the ranking personnel and intelligence files and have called for a transport.     Basically its time for us to get out and plan our attack on the main base. ==========================================================================     Raziel swore under his breath as Agent crawled behind cover. The wraiths along with a few miners were surrounding the main building. Inside were possibly 30 troops, being commanded by maybe 3 officers. Whenever any of his squad members tried to get some shots in a well-organised barrage of fire held them back.     “Damnit!” shouted Raziel. They needed to move fast, of they didn’t win over soon reinforcements might turn up. GM_Sniper, who was currently ducked down behind a pile of debris from a collapsed building caught his attention. He motioned to his medium-repeating rifle.     Raziel got the idea fairly quickly, if they could get close enough to the building for him to let rip….     “Ok come in all members, we’re going to have to make a distraction. On my call make a run for the cover on the east of the building. Sniper, keep down and go to the debris on the north. Agent, you still there?”     “Yeah I’m fine, still got those grenades. Can’t stick my head up though.”     “Right when we make the distraction go for it! Ok everyone ready? Now!” Raziel shouted.     At once all of the wraiths squad, apart from agent and sniper, jumped from cover and let rip. The miners, seeing what was happening, followed suite. Although they came under heavy fire whilst running for cover they managed to keep most rebels in cover.     Whilst this was all going on Agent primed both grenades. He stood for no more than a second and threw both. He then dived back down, followed by a hail of blaster fire that narrowly missed.     The 1st grenade exploded on the thick wall, tearing a hole. The second however luckily went into a window. A stream of fire shot out of the window and Agent heard screaming inside. He prepared himself for action, grinning.     Whilst this was all happening sniper had got close enough and was setting up.     “Ok everyone, get down!” Raziel shouted. Thanks to agents grenades and covering fire from the miners the wraiths had managed to distract the rebels without injury.     Raziel thought too soon. PFC Morgan stayed up extra second whilst the rest of the wraiths dived into their new cover, close to the building. He didn’t even have time to scream as he took a hit to the head.     Raziel grabbed arkanian to stop him going to help Morgan. Morgan’s body was hit several more times before it was left lying there only a few metres from the wraiths cover.     Raziel’s voice was filled with rage as he whispered “Do it” across the comms to Sniper on the other side of the compound.     GM_Sniper was all set up, he had his repeater aimed at the building and was fully in cover. He pressed down firmly on the trigger and let rip. The repeater spewed out blaster fire at the building, ripping through walls and supports.     One whole wall collapsed and maybe half of the rebels were gunned down before the guns charge was expanded.     Drawing his knives Raziel shouted “Charge!” The wraiths and miners dived out from cover and rushed the remaining troops. The rebels inside were running madly trying for some escape, the building they thought they had secured was now in ruins and they were in full retreat. Some of them even tried to surrender.     Raziel however was having none of it. Any rebel within reach of him was slashed or stabbed to death and those who tried to run were gunned down.     Before long the wraiths stood alone with the miners amongst the wreckage and death. ==========================================================================     “Raziel, report!” timber called for the third time.     “I’m here sir,” Raziel replied finally.     “Still got those rebels pinned down?”     “no they’re all dead now.”     “No prisoners?”     “No, we weren’t taking any. We’re now one man down. The miners also lost two of their own. Looks like all the rebels are dead or running now” Raziel used his most flat and emotionless tone of voice.     “Ok well the miners have arranged our escape transport, time to go. Meet us at the north entrance in 5” Timber switched off the comms and got EIH and all the nearby miners in order.

When all the EIH and the Wraiths has essembled almost together, Timber had been speaking to Raziel about the de-militarized base. 'Okay, we have almost totally knocked out all our enemies in our area. Let's proceed to the barracks. We might be able to finish off this base sooner than expected. Home Base will be pleased.' 'Yeah. Heard that DD and Raiders are attacking the barracks from the south. We'll attack from the north and sandwich those dodos in between.' 'Good idea. These people will regret not surrendering to the Vast Empire.' Just then, Raxen rushed up. 'Sir, all prisoners on board transport back to Base. Disc containing enemy intelligence under inspection back at Base.' Timber nod his head. 'Good. With that out of the way, I think that we should be able to secure this base without much difficulty.' Raziel stood up and shouted orders to the EIH and the Wraiths. Raxen joined Dez and his fellow comrades into battle. The enemy is in deep trouble. Raxen hitched a cryoban bomb, waiting for the momment to release it.

The Wraiths, having fulfilled alot, returned to Home Base to resupply. Agent got medical attention, but he was ready to go off into battle once agin. Raziel pulled Cloud off to the side and said, "Listen private. We're planning a major offensive against the main base here and we need our equipment. I've radioed the Dominant and had our AT-Pt brought down, allong with the Iron Horses CAVs and AT-PT. After it arrives, I wnat you to bring it down to our position, fives miles north of the base. We're going to take those bastards by surprise." "Yes sir. I will do it." responded Cloud. Raziel turned and went to the command tent to organize the attack. After a couple of hours, Raziel announced the go for them to leave. Wraith squad loaded up onto a transport to go take up their postions. A couple hours later, a dropship arrived. Cloud helped uupack it and then prepared the Wraiths AT-PT for combat. It took him a while to get used to the controls, but he got the hang of it. He started off at a nice quick pace to meet the rest of his squad. He couldn't help but hold back a smile, this was going to be fun.

OOC: Raxen we're not attacking the same base as you guys, we're attacking a different base. Shadow started running towards the east wall of the barracks.  DW looked  for more stray soldiers that might try to get away or quite possilbly shoot Shadow behind the back. DW spotted a rebel soldiers trying to sneak up behind Shadow with a vibroknife.  DW quickly looked through his scope and zoomed in on his target, he pulled the trigger and  the slug left his rifle and went right through the rebels head. "Shadow you're clear." Shadow reached the wall, he tooked out the cryoban grenades and primed to detonate 2 seconds after release. "War Woman, Darkjedi, stop firing...Shadow go now!" Shadow quickly and swiftly ran parallel with the wall and threw the 2 cryobans into the barracks.  Almost instantly laser bolts came flying out the barracks trying to hit their intruder.  Shadow quickly executed a frontflip to avoid the lasers. Seconds later a loud explosion came within the barracks followed by a couple of loud thuds.  The remaining rebels that weren't effected by the blast came out screaming.  WW and DJ made short work off them with their light repeating blasters.

    Droma rounded the corner. A blaster bolt sizzled from somewhere and stuck the wall behind him. Droma dove back for cover. He found it in a small steal box. Droma slowly peeked around the edge to see about seven or eight people all armed with blasters coming his way, laying down a line of fire so he couldn’t get away.       Droma clicked on his comm. with his chin. “ARGON SIR! I NEED HELP! I’M PINNED DOWN!” It took a couple of seconds for Argon to respond. Droma held his blaster around the corner and squeezed off a couple random shots in the mean time. “Droma, I can’t help you. We’ve got our hands full right now. I’m really sorry, try your best.” Droma dove for the wall from behind his hiding spot, catching the people off guard. He shot a few more random shots while he dove. Droma landed with a thud on the hard floor, then got up and ran for his life. “It’s ok Sir,” He said, “I’m clear for now.” He reached into his backpack and got an explosive out, set it for a fifteen second fuse, then tossed it back down the hall and ran again.         “Good man Droma. Try and hold out, we should be done with these bastards soon.” Argon’s voice came over the comlink. Just then the explosive blew, shaking the building he was in. Droma heard the clatter of the people’s blasters falling. He gave himself a small smile and then continued back towards his squad.     As he came around another corner at full speed, yet another blaster bold went flying past him, nearly hitting him. Droma ran as fast as he could towards the other side of the room and then dove for cover again, firing as he sailed through the air. He hit one of the men in the arm and then again in the chest, sending him sprawling on the ground.     “Argon, I’m pinned down again Sir!” Droma said. “Sorry Droma, we’re still tied down here.” Came Argons immediate reply. Droma pulled a frag grenade out and tossed it over his head towards the people, then got up and ran further away. He heard them yelling to kick it away right before it went off. The explosion knocked Droma off his feet as he was running.      Droma got up and looked around. Suddenly another blaster bolt came out of the smoke, catching him in the leg. He screamed in pain. It didn’t hurt as much as he thought it would, but it still hurt. “I’M HIT!” He yelled into his comlink then limped as fast as he could towards the doorway. Blaster shots were sizzling at him from everywhere. He didn’t think he could make it. He didn’t stand a chance with a hurt leg against all these people. He resolved to himself that he was going to try his hardest still.     Droma heard a metallic clink behind him, he twisted his head to see what it was. It was a thermal detonator. He dove around the corner of the nearby doorway and rolled as far as he could away from the bomb. The explosion rocked the whole building. Part of the ceiling of the hallway that he was in fell, trapping him in the room with the men. He heard one of the men yell for back up.     “Argon, I’m trapped in a room with a bunch of men,” Droma said as he got out some of his explosives and started rigging them up, “I don’t think I’m going to make it. If I don’t, I just want you to know, I enjoyed serving under you very much. I will miss you. Please tell the rest of the squad and the rest of the people that I met goodbye for me.”     “Private First Class Droma, I want you to try your damnedest to get your sorry ass out of there, I need you! Don’t you dare give up! DON’T!” Argon said. Droma clicked off his comlink and then set the timer up on his bomb. He had rigged almost all his explosives together.     Droma got up and walked to the doorway. He paused for a moment to think about what he was going to do. He clicked on the bomb, the countdown started. He rushed out into the main building to be met by blaster fire. He ducked and dodged here and there, running towards the men. Five, four. He was getting closer. Three, two. “DIE YOU BASTARDS!” He screamed. He threw the bomb at the men. One. Zero. The last thing he saw were the men running away from the bomb. Everything went black……….

[WOOHOO!!  Droma finally posts!!!  ] [Before/durring Droma's story] Argon was in the building, conducting his own search when he ran into trouble. This trouble apparently had a name. It was a guard dog, whose tags, on close inspection, revealed his name as "Rex". But that didn't matter much, the dog was dead before he hit the ground as Argon's claws caught him in mid-leap. But the squad of troopers coming behind Rex were a different story. Letting out a full throated Whiphid battle roar, Argon charged into the shocked enemy, scattering them and killing two. He pulled out his new E-11/H and decided to see how it worked, scattering intensely accurate fire at the troopers. Three more of them fell, and the rest of them were forced under cover. "Argon, sir, I'm pinned down, I need help!!"suddenly came from his comm, but he couldn't do much about that now. He took out his portable E-web and dispatched each trooper with one shot. He heard bootsteps behind him and spun, pulling a shard grenade from his belt as he did so. The grenade's timer was a long one, so Argon settled into the routine of firing and decided to answer Droma. “Droma, I can’t help you. We’ve got our hands full right now. I’m really sorry, try your best,”he said. “It’s ok Sir,”came the reply,“I’m clear for now.” He took a few shots to make sure the enemies didn't move too far from the grenade. “Good man Droma. Try and hold out, we should be done with these bastards soon.” Just then, his grenade went off, taking the entire squad with it. "Hey Geist,"he said,"you want some targets, get to a spot to help Droma, he's in trouble right now. "I'm on it,"came the reply,"they don't call me the roving superutility man for nothing." Suddenly, another platoon rushed around the corner, firing as they came. Even with such bad aim, the concentration of shots provided ample incentive to get out of the way. “Argon, I’m pinned down again Sir!”came from his comm. “Sorry Droma, we’re still tied down here,”he replied. He took another shard grenade from his belt, put it back, and looked for something that took less time to build up the explosive energy. Suddenly, the building shook beneath him. Had he not already been on the ground, he would have been thrown to it like the enemies were, so powerful was the explosion. Taking advantage of the confusion, he slipped a small block of C-4 across the floor. The enemies recovered, resuming their fire, ignorant to the fact that they had an explosive mixed in with all that rubble. “Argon, I’m trapped in a room with a bunch of men,” came from his comm“I don’t think I’m going to make it. If I don’t, I just want you to know, I enjoyed serving under you very much. I will miss you. Please tell the rest of the squad and the rest of the people that I met goodbye for me.” “Private First Class Droma,"he shouted into the comm," I want you to try your damnedest to get your sorry ass out of there, I need you! Don’t you dare give up! DON’T!” Then the comm clicked off. The troops across the room from him were treated to a showing of the most fowl language possible for the few seconds before the C-4 went off, wiping out most of the room along with the platoon. Argon got up and rushed toward where he thought Droma was, but a sudden explosion signified that it was too late...

After the threw the cryoban grenades into the barracks, Shadow just kept on running as fast as he could. He was trying to make it back to the rest of the Raiders without being shot or blown to pieces. Luckily, he made it with ease. He rounded the corner of an enemy building to find himself face to face with D-13, Quin Valec, Snake, and Otto Vox. The four men turned and nodded to him. "What's happened?" Shadow inquired. "Yellow_5 and Mastermind are dead," Otto replied. There was a long silence as Shadow bowed his head in rememberance. "And Jedi?" he asked. "I sent him off to try to find a medical droid," Snake replied. "But it's too late now. Fury came down a while ago and took the two dead bodies - but he's seen no sign of Jedi anywhere. Hopefully he's all right." Shadow nodded. "The Dark Dragoons have secured five speeder bikes. They want us to help them make a run on the main enemy complex." Snake paused for a moment. "We're going to need more firepower than just our normal weapons to pull that one off. I'll radio up to the Dominion and see if they can drop our AT-PT down here." "That'll take time, sir," Otto warned. "Then we'll just have to make time," Snake countered. "We've already lost two men - I don't want to have to attened any more funerals at the end of this campaign." During the talk, a group of enemy soldiers had snuck up on the Raiders unnoticed. As Snake finished his last sentence, the rebels sprang from their firing place, shooting wildly. The Raiders hit the ground and began to return fire. Laser and ion bolts filled the space between the two opposing groups, making it difficult to see the enemy. "Dammit!" Otto cursed. "We need to get behind some cover before we get picked to pieces." Snake nodded. "Got any ideas?" Shadow reached down beneath his armor and pulled out two smoke grenades. Laying his blaster aside, he hurled the grenades toward the enemy. Instantly, huge clouds of smoke filled the sky. "Nice thinking, Private," Snake said. "Everyone, head for that enclave over there before the smoke clears." The five men jumped up and bolted for shelter. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Demi Wraith frowned as he heard gunfire explode across the compound. War Woman gave him an anxious glance. "Sounds like the Raiders are in trouble," she offered. "Yeah, I know." "Should we head over and try to give them some assistance?" Dark Jedi asked. "No, hold for now. If Snake needs help, he'll ask for it. We need to make sure these bikes are ready for our assault." "Yes, sir. But what are the rest of us going to do that aren't going to be on the speeders?" Dark Jedi asked. "Hmmm, good question." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jedi entered the compound from the west solemnly. By the time he had gotten to Bear's position, he was nowhere to be found. Hopefully that beast hadn't eaten him. Then again, it wasn't much of a loss. But by now Yellow and Mastermind were bound to have died from their wounds. Jedi only hoped the rest of the Raiders were doing okay. He could sense that there were still a lot of Rebels on the compound, so they hadn't completely taken the base yet. Then Jedi noticed the sounds of fighting a few hundred yards to the north. He smiled, ignited his lightsaber, and headed for the battle. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Otto hurled another grenade toward their opponents as shots rang out across the battleground. There was no way to know how many enemies they had taken out so far . . . or how many still remained. Suddenly, an enemy grenade landed right next to D-13. He screamed and kicked it away. It landed right next to Snake, who picked it up and threw it back at the enemy as quickly and with as much force as he could. The grenade didn't make it very far. It exploded two seconds after Snake let go of it. The explosion deafened and blinded the Raiders temporarily. Some of the rebels saw the opportunity and began to charge the Raiders' postition. As their eyes came back into focus, Shadow noticed eight enemy troopers charging himself and his companions. "Snake, trouble," he muttered. "I see 'em," his squad leader answered. Snake pulled out a sequencer charge and threw it at the enemies. Two of them were caught in the blast and went down. But the other six came up over the hill on top of the Raiders. Realizing that his sniper rifle would do him little good at close-range, Shadow snapped it back in its holster and pulled out the two swords hanging on his back. Now THIS was fighting. It felt like combat back at home. He was lucky, the rebels hadn't seen him over behind the boulder he had taken cover behind. He sprang from his hiding place and one of his blades met with a rebel's neck. The man's head dropped to the ground, and the rest of his body followed a second later. A trooper turned to face Shadow, but the private hacked the soldier's gun in two with once quick slice. He followed the attack by plunging one of his swords into the man's chest. The rebel let out a high-pitched yell as the life drained from his body. Another soldier turned to take Shadow out and was shot in the back by Snake. The last two enemies standing realized they were outnumbered and turned to run. They didn't get very far as Quin and Otto each racked up a kill. Snake let out a sigh. "Good job, men." "How many do you think are left?" Otto questioned. "Not sure. Let's go take a looksee." Snake made his way slowly to the edge of the outcropping and peered over. Seven more enemy bodies lay scattered on the ground. And in the middle of them stood two figures . . . a rebel and Jedi. Jedi had no weapon on him, but his opponent was still falling back. Suddenly, Jedi made his move. He reached out with the Force and pulled his foe's gun into his hands. He gave his opponent a slight smile and then blasted him right in the face. The other Raiders came out from their cover to greet their dark Jedi member. "Nice job, Jedi," Shadow said. "Thanks. I thought so, too." "Let's go find out what the Dark Dragoons want," Snake said, patting Jedi on the back.

Cloud meet up with the Wraiths and Raziel debriefed him. He was to be the main part of the attack. The attack had to be synchronized with EIH. The enemy couldn't be tipped off to an attack. They were going to storm the North gate. Sniper was gonna take up position on one of the watch towers. He would have to sneak in before the main assualt and take up a position. Raziel was gonna sneak in and open the gate. Once inside, Arkinian and Agent would meet up with him. They would go for the communications building to disrupt all communications. After that, they would go for the main control building and try to obtain some data or some high ranking prisionors. Cloud would storm the base once the gate was opened. He would be the diversion. He would lead the regular troops. While he created havoc and disorder at the northern gate, EIH would storm the southern gate. Cloud climbed back into the AT-PT and prepared for the assult. Sniper left and disappeared into the forest. Raziel announced that the attack would commence in 1 hour, so the troops prepared themselves and their weapons.

OOC: Garn! Now what !?! Raxen was almost going to rush out his hiding place with his comrades and start battling a mass of enemy troopers in front of them when he got an emergency call from Demi Wraith. 'Hey bud, we arent fighting the same base. You arent going to have another attacking force from the other direction.' 'Oh garn. You should have told me earlier.' 'Oh well, you didnt read the reports again as usual.' 'Okay, I'll jsut take note then.' 'Yeah and good luck. We are having some fightin' over here.' 'We will have here too.' Raxen reported to Timber who still gave to go-ahead sign. 'This means the the enemies might be caught off surprise. Behind them is a wall, if the maps arent wrong. We should be able to catch them.' Raxen rejoined his battlemates. When Timber gave the sign, they ran ahead and took the enemy by surprise. Soon the air crisscrossed with laser bolts. The battle was joined.

An hour passed, so Cloud led the squad forward. Raziel sounded a halt about 2 miles out of te base. He went on ahead with Agetn and Arkinain. Cloud wished them the best of luck. "Wraith squad distraction, this is EIH, over." came Timber's voice over the comm. "This is Cloud. What is it." "Are you in position.? We are ready to begin the assualt, just give us the word." replied Timber. "Covert team just left give them about half an hour." answered Cloud. "Ok. We move out at 900 then." ordered Timber. Cloud, came out of the AT-PT to give the game plan to the regular officers. The troops were green, like Cloud. But he had seen one battle, and was top of his class. He hoped these newbies could do the job. After giving the layout of the battle, Cloud re-entered his AT-PT, and sounded the march. The fighting force of the VE was off to crush their enemies. PFC Cloud, leading the head, with all its might, toward the base. He couldn't help but smile, he could get to like this. ________________________________________________________ Raziel approached the fence of the compound. He quickly helped Agent and Arkinain scale the fence. "Wait here. I'll sneak in and disable the troops inside the comm building." ordered Raziel. Both troopers nodded and he departed. He moved along the shadows, and when he reached the comm building, pulled out some of his knives. He searched for the best interest, and found it had to be an open window. He looked inside, and found  that the room was only manned by two troopers. He quietly lifted the window and shot a knive through the air and hit one trooper in the head, right between the eyes. The other trooper didn't even notice and went on his conversation. He realized something was wrong when his buddy didn't answer. He began to turn around, but before he could, Raziel had grabbed him form behind and snapped his neck. He moved toward the door and secured the lock. Then he proceeded to the window and motioned for his escorts. Tey entered the window and they began their work. Raziel posted Arkinain as the look out, and he and Agent worked fast to knock out their communications. Raziel found an interesting data stream in one of the computers. He quickly pocketed it and continued his business. After about five minutes, their work was done. Raziel gave the motion to leave. Agent placed remote charges throughtout the building. Once the battle started, this place was gonna go sky high. ___________________________________________________ Sniper took his position on the hill. From here he could see all the base. It looked pretty deserted, but looks could be deceiving. He know this base was loaded full of trained troopers, ready to leap into battle at the first sound of troubles. That's what he was for. He broke out his binoculars and scanned the are. He could see Cloud leading the Wraiths and half the army regulars toward the base. They were about 10 minutes away He then looked inside the base. Raziel and his team were done with the communications building and had moved on to others. The battle was about to commence, so he prepared himself from what was about ot ensue.   OOC: I meant this as Cloud. I could've sworn I changed. Oh well.

Raxen ran into the building and gunned down all enemy fighter in sight. He was not the kind to hide around the corners unless it was neccessary to do so. Crouching behind a crate, he unjammed his blaster and leapt out of it and caught some new stream of enemy troopers by surprise. Unlatching one of his thermal detonators, he launched an attack on them before they had the time to shoot. Many bodies littered the battle floor. Dez was checking out the security channels, destroying any possible alerting devices. 'Here, Dez, I'll take over. Just give me some cover.' Raxen exchanged places with Dez and started furiously hacking into the system while Dez gave cover. The hacking job he had done earlier had weaken the systems and soon he was punching in the security code that will deactivate all defence systems in the current base they were in. A green light on a panel beside the terminal turned red and Raxen gave a shout of triumph. He nodded to Dez as some mechanical sounds were heard. The defence equipment were closing down. Raxen pointed his blaster at the terminal and shielded his eyes as he blasted the terminal into scraps. Raxen recharged his blaster and shot down more enemy troopers. Picking up a blaster which used to belong to the enemy trooper lying dead at his feet, he shot back at the enemies. All hell broke loose. EIH was gaining ground at this area. Soon all resistance was finished off. A transmission from Raziel also show that they had completed their invasion. The base was theirs.

(Thanks go to cloud for keeping the wraiths story going) Raziel watched from inside the comms building just before leaving, he could just make out the few lights of the Regular troops led by the raiders as they made they’re way to attack positions. Even Raziel’s eyes could only spot them because he knew they were there.     Staring intensely for a few minutes he managed to make out the reflection off some kind of armour. Sniper had obviously got into position with the regulars heavy weapons squad. They were in position to let rip on the enemy as they came out to meet clouds assault force and catch them in crossfire.     The armour unit would come across from the east of the base and bombard the base. Heavy mortar tanks would let fire whilst squads of heavy tanks and bikers would sweep any troops out of the way.     Agent and Arkanian urged Raziel to leave, but he still had to think right now. It was estimated the troops here were down by a 100-man squad that had been dispatched to find out what had happened to the training base they had destroyed earlier. Unfortunately VE had overestimated the force they would send out. EIH, including Raxen, were now battling with the bases scout force. The VE has sent 150 men with the EIH to take out that force, a waste of manpower.     If all went well Cloud would begin the assault in 30 minutes, possibly not enough time. The group headed out from the comms tower towards the main operations centre. If that could be destroyed, then the planet wide rebellion force would be sent into chaos. Their grip on the planet would be lost. Raziel wandered what the rebel leaders in that operations centre were currently thinking whilst he slipped through the shadows.     As far as they were concerned one of their training camps had suddenly disappeared with no call for help. Their main troop centres were currently under attack from imperial soldiers (Raiders etc) that seemed to have come from no-where. They would probably be in absolute panic right now. ========================================================================== (in the main rebel building)     Karl awoke sharply from his sleep; the smell of stale coffee told him that he had fallen asleep at the tactical display again.     “Sir,” the trooper called for the 3rd time. “Sir??”     “I’m awake I’m awake,” Karl replied. Karl was the alliances tactical analyst station here to keep things running smoothly, so far the only data that had been presented to him had been the odd miner’s raid and things had been easy. 2 weeks ago however that all changed. Rumours of an impending Stormtrooper attack, forces of soldiers and whole bases disappearing and now confirming the rumours whole platoons of soldier’s attack the main Alliance troop station on the planet.     “Sir, I’ve been instructed to take you to the general. He is calling a meeting now.”     “Err yes, carry on”     The tactical analyst made himself another coffee and followed the soldier. He was taken only a few corridors to the war room. Already most officers were sat and the holo image on the planet was up.     “Ok everyone,” the general began. “As you now know we are under full attack, our main barracks is currently under siege and our training camps have already been destroyed. That you already know. It had now however been confirmed that we are under a full imperial assault. Our scouting force, currently in battle have confirmed it.”     The general was a short squat figure, but his voice and keen mind made up for any physical shortcomings. Sat behind him was his dark and shadowy bodyguard. He had been hired a few months ago to guard the general with his life, apparently he was very very good at his job.     “Sir,” Karl piped up.     “Yes, you have come to any conclusions”     “Not as yet sir, but from most calculations there appears to be another force of troops still out there.     “So the two forces we’re currently in battle with aren’t all of the forces?”     “I don’t think so sir”     “Well I don’t think this has much affect on my plan anyway, I propose to simply lock ourselves within this city and wait for reinforcements. The new soldiers are all in the city and we can hold off any siege for weeks.”     There was an unhappy murmur from the assembled officers.     “But sir all my troops are out there,” one officer started, he moved towards the general but was stopped dead. In one fluent movement the seemingly motionless bodyguard brought himself to his feet and snapped a knife towards the lieutenants neck, stopping it inches from him.     The groups argument was stopped dead, all was silent.     “Sit down lieutenant my mind is made up, Karl start setting up plans to fortify this place. Full scale defences!”     Fifteen minutes later Karl left the room, very disturbed by the fact that they were leaving all troops outside the base were dead. He would go to his room now and make plans for the cities defence.     He didn’t know however that imperials were already in position for attack and that he would be dead in 10 minutes. ==========================================================================     “Cloud, ready?”     “We’re all set sir!”     “Armour, ready?”     “Tanks are in position, ready to roll.”     “Heavy squad, ready?”     “In position sir” Sniper replied.     Raziel completed the check, everything was ready. He, Arkanian and Agent were sat in a dark room just inside the operations building. Agent was still fumbling with the alarm and closing the window.     “Ok, cloud go!     “Agent blow the gates and the comms tower!”     The whole base rocked as both the comms tower and northern gate were vaporised. The foot troopers, led by cloud in an AT_PT swarmed towards the whole in the bases wall. Raziel could pick out the sounds of individual blasters being fired from here.     As cloud’s force rampaged through the base destroying everything in their path, the armoured unit prepared to bombard the base. The plan was for cloud’s force the retreat, covered by the repeaters coming out of hiding. The tanks would then bombard the base from a distance. When they were done cloud, sniper and the tanks would move in and finish the base.     In the mean time Raziel and his team would have to try and cause as much chaos as possible, hopefully taking some officers down in the process         “Ready?” Raziel asked     “Lets go!”     The three sneaked out into the main base, their rebel uniforms should let them move unimpeded in the chaos until they could kill some important personnel or bomb some targets.     For miles the sounds of battle could be heard, the strike had been executed to perfection and even now the general was being awoken to here that the defences had been breached and that the comms were down.

When they were done cloud, sniper and the tanks would move in and finish the base.     In the mean time Raziel and his team would have to try and cause as much chaos as possible, hopefully taking some officers down in the process         “Ready?” Raziel asked     “Lets go!”     The three sneaked out into the main base, their rebel uniforms should let them move unimpeded in the chaos until they could kill some important personnel or bomb some targets.     For miles the sounds of battle could be heard, the strike had been executed to perfection and even now the general was being awoken to here that the defences had been breached and that the comms were down.

Raxen pulled out his comlink, radioing to Raziel. 'Hey Raz, think we are totally kicking them outta their pants. Maybe VEA shouldnt have sent such a big group over. These guys are worst then peanuts!' 'Yeah I know,' Raz's voice came over the comlink, and Raxen heard a distant explosion in the background. ' How about this: we still have the ammunitions deport and the reparing bay to take out on. Let's try disable them. Their resources will be really valuable to VE. We'll take the ammunitions deport and EIH take the repairing bay, 'kay?' 'Yeah, sure. Be right at action, Raz.' 'Uh huh. Good luck.' 'We wont need it. THEY need it.' 'LOL' ------------------------------------------------------------------ Soon, EIH had fought their way to the ammunitions deport. Raxen slipped around, checking out the number of guards, the likely attack routes and escape routes, where the offices are. Once he collected enough information, he reported it to Timber, who was darn happy to receive the information. From there, EIH plotted the entire attack. Raxen and Dez slinked out to the front, holding minor thermal detonators in their hands. They couldnt afford to use too big a charge, otherwise the entire deport might just blow up. Raxen hurled the first detonator at the guards closest to the front. Dez finished the job by gunning down the remaining guards, leaving the way clear. All VE troopers rushed in to engage in bolts. EIH was pressing on. Raxen wondered how Raz's side was doing.

Snake, Jedi, Shadow, and the rest of the remaining Raiders jogged across the camp to the Dark Dragoons' position. Demi Wraith looked happy to see them. He held a finger up to his mouth, asking them to maintain their silence. Snake nodded as the six raiders set down next to their fellow soldier. Shadow looked out across from Demi Wraith's encampment and laid his eyes upon the main enemy compound. Activity was swiriling around the building, a sign that a lot of the rebels were still around. Apparently, most of the ones who were still alive had fled here, to the most heavily defended structure. Continuing to take in the sight, Shadow noticed an AT-ST and two hoverscouts maintaining a patrol around the perimeter. He turned to Snake to see if his leader had noticed the same thing. From the look on the man's face, he had. Snake crawled over to Demi and whispered something to him. Demi nodded, and pointed the Raiders' attenion over to the east side of the area. Five of the Dark Dragoons were mounted on speeder bikes right outside the complex. They were obviously the main attack force of this strike. Demi then pointed over to the west side. The other two Dragoons, Reikane and Sidious, were set up on a small bank to provide cover fire. Seemed like a pretty decent situation to Shadow. "So what are we going to do?" Otto whispered. "I need the six of you to come with me. After the speeders make their first pass over the enemy base, we're going to charge out from here and go straight for the killing blow." The sergeant major grinned as he picked up a large box of explosives from beside him. "The speeder bikes will draw the hoverscouts away and we'll sneak up and take the walker out with these concussion grenades." "A full frontal assault doesn't sound like the best thing in the world," D-13 muttered. "We've already lost two men in this strike." Jedi frowned. "I must say that I have to agree. Even with my lightstaff, I don't feel too comfortable with these odds." Snake shook his head. "I'm gonna have to back DW on this one. Unless anyone has a better idea?" The two squad leaders looked around the circle of troops. Shadow shrugged and brandished his DH-44 as their eyes passed over him. He was met with a nod from Snake and a smile from Demi Wraith. "Sergeant Major Snake? Sergeant Major Demi Wraith? Are you there?" came a voice over their comm system suddenly. Snake scrambled to get to the device and turn the volume down before an enemy patrol heard them. "Snake here," he grumbled. "This is Major Fury," came the reply. "You guys have some reinforcements outside of the enemy base. They'll be there in a few moments.." "Reinforcements?" Snake questioned. "Two fresh soldiers. And something else you might like, too." "All right, Fury. I'll send two or three men out to meet them. Just make sure they're not spotted." "Will do. Fury out." Snake turned to face his men. "Shadow, Otto, get out there and see what's going on." "I'll go, too," Demi Wraith voiced. "Hold down the fort until then. And don't let my men and women jump the gun," he added. Snake smiled. "I'll try my hardest." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ten minutes later the three soldiers met up with their comrades. The two men were unfamiliar to Shadow. "I'd like to introduce Private First Class Fishman," the shorter soldier said. "I'm Private First Class Grizzly." There was an exchange of greetings and formalities between the soldiers. Fishman was with the Dark Dragoons and Grizzly was with the Raiders. "I've got some news," Fishman stated. "Athran has resigned and Talon has taken over the role of prefect of the army." There was a slight pause as the three soldiers took in this new information. "Also, Brigadier Talon wants me to let you know that you've been promoted to Corporal, Shadow." Shadow merely nodded. "How did you all get here so fast?" Demi Wraith questioned, looking around. Grizzly laughed. "Go look behind that bunker over there. All of you." The three soldiers walked around the building to see something which brought a grin to all of their faces, even Shadow's. Sitting right there in the middle of enemy territory were the Raiders' AT-PT and Century Tank and the Dragoons' AT-PT. It was definitely a sight for sore eyes. "I don't believe it," Otto breathed. "Guys," Demi Wraith said, turning to face the captain, "I know we just met . . . but I love you." "Haha. Don't thank me. It was Talon who was crazy enough to drop us off here this close." Demi Wraith nodded. Then they began to make their way back to Snake to ready an assault on the rebel compound. Only now, they had evened the odds.   ----------------------- TRP/1PFC Shadow/3SQD/1PLT/1COMP/1BAT/1REG/VEA/VE Leave us . . . the dog eats strangers.

The main bases was secure, except the ammunitions depot and the repair bays. EIH would have the the repair bay in less than an hour and the munitions dump was almost there. This had been easy, but way all the troops? Cloud ingored the question and ordered the troops to secure the area and take up the bases defenses and fortify their position. They complied and he decided to dismount from the AT-PT. Once outside, Raziel approached him and he said, "Nice job with those troops. I guess you're cut out to be command material." "Thank you sir," is all he said. Raziel got on his radio to to see how EIH was doing. They had secured their area and were in position to fortify it. The VEA had now secured the main troop base for their enemy. By the end of the day, the bases was forified against any counterstrike the Rebels could make.

After securing the enemy base, Timber, together with Raxen, Dez and a few other troopers, made use of EIH's speederbikes and returned to Home Base in a relatively short time. Raxen shut down the engines and hopped over the bike towards the entrance of the Base. 'I'll go straight to Fury and Talon to make my report. Hand in any important material that you have salvaged from the enemy base and bring all prisoners to the interrogation center.' Timber said to the rest of the troopers before heading towards the command offices. Raxen shrugged and took out another imformation disc that contain some other important information that might be useful to Home Base for planning the next few attacks. He knew that they contain military maps which will be of great use to the miltary strategists. He slotted it into a security bag and deposited it at the secretary counter before pushing the prisoners towards the interrogation center. After he finished that, Raxen went back to the main building and was about to take the turning and head back to his barracks when he heard someone shouting for him. Turning his head back, he saw it was Timber. 'Glad I found you. Talon wants to speak to you.' Raxen stiffened up. He might be in trouble, but what? According to his short-term memory, there wasnt anything that he did that could actually incure the wrath of the upper command. He nodded and followed Timber to the command offices. Reaching Talon's office, he knocked and was answered with a reply, 'Enter.' before entering the room and saluting to the officer that was in charge of the entire army of the Vast Empire. Talon got out of his seat, half-amused that Raxen looked as if he was expecting to be punished. He laughed and said, 'Do you know why I asked you to come here today?' 'No, Sir.' 'Ah. I called you in because you did things that attracted the attention of the High Council. What do you think it could be?' 'I dunt know Sir. I have absolutely no clue.' Talon laughed and went straight to the point. 'Okay, today I asked you to enter my office because the Army High Council has recognised your efforts in this current war. For you activity, you are promoted to Sergeant.' Raxen was stunned. He didnt expect a promotion to come so soon. 'You are promoted together with Shadow, who for his outstanding activity, was risen to the rank of a Coporal. Today you enter this office to be promoted. I hope you'll keep up your good job and never enter this office to be punished.' 'Thank you Sir!' Within 5 minutes, Raxen found himself from a Coporal risen to a Sergeant. He was pleased and surprised. He knew that he would always keep this up. He made a mental note to send a note to Shadow congratulating him about his promotion too.

  (Ok this post is before clouds and Raxens. i thought i'd write about how we finished off the Rebel's main city as it was never actually explained lol, i only just started the attack we may aswell write about the rest of it       Cloud's force of troops were beginning to get bogged down now. The enemy soldiers were the same higher trained and efficient soldiers Raziel had met a few months ago in the covert mission Fury had lead.     Cloud's AT_PT had taken a bit of a bashing but was still going. Being the largest target the defenders could make out they were now beginning to target him.     "Ok on my go, section 2 of the attack!" Cloud shouted down the comms,     "NOW!"     As one the regular troops of the VE, lead by the wraiths turned and appeared to flee. Unfortunately the enemy were well led and executed a precision persute. Many good VE troops were gunned down before they reached the meeting point. Just as it seemed like clouds force would be thrown out of the City, the heavy weapons squad, already in place withing the city came out of cover and let rip.     The Rebel's who were busy chasing Cloud's infantry force ahead of them, were now being mown down by 20-30 heavy repeaters off to their left. As they turned to face this new enemy Cloud sounded the rally and they turned and counter attacked the rebel army.     The rebel army now found themselves in a cross-fire. They were forced to flee, but reinforcements were gathering from the other side of the City ready to hit the VE troops.     However they were still ignorant of the tank platoon now speeding towards the city. The first thing they noticed were mortar shells lighting up the sky above them. As the city was bombarded speeder bikes and heavy tanks zoomed into the east side of the city.     At the same time EIH had slipped into the city and had taken the Cities armoury. It was hoped that if they could stop the Rebels rallying there, the rebels would be forced to surrender. EIH bravely held their position in the armouy even as 100 Rebel troops headed their in search of ammunition.     The situation in the city was now this: The VE infantry force was fighting heavily with Elite Rebel troops in the north of the City. The VE tank platoon were bombing the city and attacking from the East. Meanwhile EIH had taken hold of the armoury in the West of the city. ======================================================================================     Whilst the attack was going on Raxiel, Arkanian and Agent were in the middle of a huge amount of chaos in the Rebel central operations building. The Rebel commanders were rushing around trying to find a way to save the city from the thousands of VE troops that had hit them.     In their Rebel uniforms they were being completely ignored, only once had they been spotted. A sergeant looking for all th troops around to take out to battle tried to order them into following him. Discretely the 3 of them had shown him who they really were. Hiding his body had however been difficult.     "Ok nows the time we split up, Arkanian Agent you guys head to the generator and plant explosives. I want this place going sky high. I'm going to go make sure none of the officials can escape."     "Got ya," Agent replied. He and Arkanian headed off towards the generator room.     Raziel turned and headed towards the war room. A grim look passed accross his face, he was still upset about losing 2 members of his squad. He held the Rebel commanders personally responsible for Kalon and Morgan.     Raziel didn't even pause at the door to the war room. He was now on automatic mode, he was completely aware of everything around him. He was also in complete control of his body. He had spent years training himself so that all the muscles in his body were at his complete control, working in unison.     As raziel entered the room the officials in the middle of a heated talk about how to rally their troops turned towards him in shock.     "Wha.." managed one of the leitenants before Raziel slit his throat. Raziels slashed two more men before diving to the floor to avoid blaster fire from bodyguards.     He rolled and came back to his feet, a blaster pistol in each hand where his knives had been. He shot dead the two bodyguards and continued to massacre the remaining officers, not even thinking about prisoners.     Raziel then turned towards the door to see that the General and over-all commander of all Rebel forces on the planet was standing in the doorway. A look of shock in his face. Before Raziel could move however the generals bodyguard stepped in.     Raziel recognised him immediately. He was the master Assassin he had faced before. Last time Raziel had lost and had been lucky to escape with his life. Raziel had sworn to settle the score.     The assassin drew his long, slight Rapier. Raziel likewise drew his combat knives.     Raziel made the first attack, a simple lunge towards the chest. The assassin effortlessly parried and made a swipe at Raziel's throat. Raz dodged back out of the way, knives swinging in unison barely holding the Rapier back.     It appeared that the assassin wanted to escape this base pretty quickly and was determined to finish Raziel quickly.     Raziel was having none of it however, he kept his knives flashing back and forth keeping the Assassin at bay. Raziel was on the defensive but had something planned. At once Raziel brought his knives close and made a double lunge at the Assassin's chest. Before the assassin could parry however Raziel changed the angle of attack and swung one knife low and one high.     The assassin's blase deflected the blade going for his throat, but had his stomach cut badly. He put a hand to his stomach in an attempt to slow the flow of blood, but it was no use. Raziel went into the offensive and knew it was only a matter of time before he won over. Finally the assassin slipped and fell to one knee. Raziel was about to finish him, but was startled when a blaster skimmed his chest. He doged back and turned towards the door to see that the general had called for help.     "Drop them" one soldier with a gun levelled at Raz's head said.     Before Raziel had time to react there was the sound of blaster fire. All three soldiers dropped dead and Agent and Arkanian came into the room, blasters still smoking.     In a flash the assassin assessed the situation.     "We will finish this another time," he told Raz and dived through a window.     "Thanks," Raz said to Agent     "No problem, who was that?     "Never mind," Raziel smiled ======================================================================================     The three escaped the building just before it was blown to pieces. Arkanian had the rebel general in tow and the Rebel command system was now shattered.     However when Raziel stepped out he saw that it had been in vain.     Hundreds of Rebel troops were lined up.     But they had their hands behind their heads. VE speeders swept through the cities looking for survivors. Cloud walked up followed by a thousande VE regular troops.     "It's over," he said     "We're just searching out the last pockets of resistance," Raxen said. appearing with the rest of EIH at Raziel's right.     A cheer went up as the Rebel's capital was captured, Timber radio'd in to base that the Rebels had been smashed. A few hundred Regular troops had died taking the City, but the rebel elits had almost all their numbers decimated.     It was now up to Raiders, and the Fallen angles to finish off the last pockets of Rebel resistance on the planet. EIH, and Wraiths with the regulars had finally shattered the rebel hold on the planet.

"Okay, here's the plan.  Snake and I will get in our AT-PT and you Shadow, will have to drive the Century Tank.  My guys on the speeder bikes will attack the hoverscouts hopefully taking them out.  Then thats when we come in, we'll attack the AT-PT and any of the remaining hoverscouts that are still left." "The rest of the Dark Dragoons and Raiders will take out the remaining troops in the base, after that we'll savage all we can and then blow this place to pieces." "Sounds like a good plan to me." Replied Shadow "Okay then, lets get everybody ready then."

Cosmic was back onboard the Dominion for awhile now, he just got back from SickBay to fix up some minor cuts. He walked at a fast pace back to his quarters and changed back into the brown tunic uniform that he had.  He then sat down on his bunk and took a deep breath, his head resting in his hands.  He thought for a moment about Fury's words, and that there wasn't any NI activity down on the planet.  Instead, those dead people who shot at him turned out to be some kind of mercenaries...pirates who raided the planet.  Possibly inhabitants.  As Cosmic thought of the word inhabitant, he brought his head up and looked at the wall.  "Inhabitant..."  Whispered Cosmic to himself.  He quickly got up from his bunk and walked towards the ships computer database.  He typed in his ID as the computer requested, and searched the planet's records. Cosmic eyed the computer strangly as it brought up the information:
Inhabitants: Small alien lifeforms
Cosmic read the information again, knowing that those people he killed with the fake NI patches weren't 'small alien lifeforms'.  He signed off and walked to a vacant table and sat down, thinking of what he had come across.

Argon ran toward the part of the building where Droma had last been, with that much resistance, there had to be something of interest there. But most of all, no one, and that meant no one, killed a Dread Knight without his permission, and that meant that heads were going to roll... if there was enough left when he got through with them. He pulled out his lightsabers and slipped into "the zone", an interesting mindset that had seen him through tough times in the past. He quickly sent out a message to the other force sensitive FAs and charged into the room. It was the inferno. Droma had apparently used one of the more powerful explosives he had, decimating the entire room and scattering the body parts of everyone in it on and through the walls. However, there was an entire platoon of troopers that had entered the room since the blast. Without any concsious thought, Argon whipped past the first five, their heads hitting the ground before they realised the door was open. He jumped over the next three, leaning one lightsaber down to leave a line in the middle of their heads, and landed in front of another three, slashing across their middles. His sabers flashed, redirecting fire from two directions, killing another four soldiers, all head shots. His brain was still not concsiously connected to what he was doing, and it had only been three seconds since his entrance to the room. He flashed forward again, sizzling through a squad that was still huddled together. All were dead before the first hit the ground, less than a second later. The platoon commander had realised what was going on, and was on his comm, ordering a general retreat to a more defensable area, but that couldn't be allowed. A spinning lightsaber caught him and his XO before they could finish the order. It had only been five seconds since Argon entered the area, but the effect of "the zone" had already worn off, and he drew his E-web and set it to fully automatic fire. A line of fire traced its way across the room, taking heads, limbs, and even entire bodies with it as it drew a large circle around where Argon stood. The enemies were dead, but Droma was not yet avenged, there would be more bloodshed. Argon retrieved his lightsaber and settled down for a quick meal. Despite how humans felt about it, the flesh of a human was really quite tasty...

OOC: Okay, I know that I'm really darn inactive and a lousy recruit. I'll get back once RL thing starts to relax a little. I'll be back. I'm returning to full duty. ------------------------------------------- Reikane hopped onto a speederbike and waited for DW and Snake to start attacking. Once the hoverscouts started retaliating, she fixed her targets on one and chased after it, drawing out her blaster and firing repeatedly at the scout. The scout dodged and tried to lead her into a stack a crates. She detoured and soared high up a little. Once the scout was confused, she swooped down and blasted the scout. He fell off his bike and a crunch. Taking off, she saw Ripantuna chasing after another while DW and Snake in their AT-PT were destroying some buildings. Radioing Rip, she linked. 'Rip, I'll come from the right and finish off the scout. Keep him on the run. I'll be there soon.' 'Yeah, this guy is avoiding all my shotsso far. Dang him.' 'Right over.' Reikane turned her bike around and headed back. From there, she swooped it from the right of Rip and fired upon the doomed scout. Not expecting an attack so swiftly, the scout fell silently to the ground. Reikane gave a nod towards Rip before scooting off to another scout target. Soon, most of the scouts were mowed down, and Rip had the honoured of finishing off the last scout who was trying to escape. She turned her eyesights on the freshly turned out enemy troopers and came upon them, doing a strafting attack on them. More screams of pain. She was about to do another run when her bike was hit. 'Dang it! WW, need your help. Bike's failing.' 'Okay. I'll be there.' Soon WW came speeding towards Reikane. She timed the jump from her failing bike to WW's and cleared the jump easily. Soon she was sitting backwards firing while WW concentrated on the weapons that came with the bike. --- 15 minutes later --- WW slowed down the bike and both of them rushed towards the AT-PT with the rest of their Squad mates, closing in for the final kill. Most of the enemies were seriously wounded. Demi opped his head out of the AT-PT. 'Okay. Shadow, you've got the cyroban grenades dunt you. Set it up inside the building in front of you. ' Once Shadow returned, DW pressed the ignition button and the building blew up in front of them. Reikane grinned. The main office building was destroyed. Now they had to finish the rest.

Shadow climbed back into the century tank after blowing the main office building sky high. The TIE Crawler was basically a TIE ball with huge treaded wheels on each side. The inside was very similar to a TIE Fighter, though that didn't do Shadow much good. He had little experience with any kind of vehicle, ground or air. Demi Wraith and Snake were back in their AT-PTs by now. The last pocket of rebel resistance had fled off into the woods, and they had that AT-ST with them. So the big guns were going after them to make sure they were finished. Four of the speeder bikes were still working, so Dark Jedi, Reikane, Jedi, and Otto were coming along, too. The rest of the Raiders and Dragoons were staying behind under War Woman's command and securing the enemy base. That job wouldn't be too hard. Shadow figured any rebels left on the base would be likely to surrender. They had gathered up a large group of wounded soldiers and were waiting now for a transport from the Dominion to come and pick the POWs up for transfer to a medical ship and then on to a brig somewhere. Shadow double-checked his controls as Snake gave the order to move out. His drop-down turbolaser cannon still seemed to be in fine working order. Seeing as how his tank had the heaviest armament out of the group, he'd been elected to take out the enemy chicken walker. The other would finish off the ground troops and distract the walker before Shadow moved in for the kill. Shadow revved up the tank's engines and took off. He was going to go in the back way, while the others charged in from the front. He glanced down at the speedometer and saw that the crawler was moving along at a nice little pace of 90 KMH. Not too shabby for a vehicle that was mass produced in the thousands by a bunch of droid workers. The minutes went by and Shadow turned his vehicle into the sparse forest. He could hear Demi Wraith and Snake shouting out orders to the other soldiers as they neared the enemies. Apparently, there were some stragglers who had fallen behind the main group of rebels. The speeder bikes made quick work of those opponents and moved in closer to the main group. Then the battle really began to heat up. Demi Wraith counted at least a hundred enemy soldiers in plain sight, and there were probably more. Plus there was the AT-ST looming in front of them. The small arms blaster fire bounced harmlessly off the AT-PT's armor, but a shot from that AT-ST's twin blaster cannon would put DW or Snake in a tight spot. So the two squad leaders kept their distance from the main fray, firing off pot shots whenever they could and launching a few concussion grenades into the main enemy formation. Meanwhile, the speeder bike pilots were trying their best to at the same time distract the AT-ST and keep from being shot. Jedi seemed to be doing the best job of it, hacking passing rebels with his lightstaff. And then Shadow finally rolled into the area. He saw the AT-ST on his sights and grinned. The fools had no idea he was back behind them, they were so worried about the two AT-PTs in front of them. Taking his turbolaser controls in hand, Shadow waved goodbye to the enemy walker and squeezed the trigger two or three times. His reply was a nice little explosion a few moments later as the chicken walker exploded in a furious fireball, sending metal scraps all over the woods. When the smoke cleared, all that remained was a burning frame. Shadow took the main gun controls back in hand and began to pick off rebels with the TIE Crawler's medium blaster cannons. At the same time, Demi Wraith and Snake moved in with their guns. It wasn't a pretty side. Realizing that they were stuck in a pincer attack with no way out, the rebels began throwing their guns aside and diving down to the ground. One by one, as they began to surrender, the Vast Empire troops ceased their fire. Soon, the last of their foes had given up and the long battle had finally drawn to an end. Snake and Demi Wraith climbed out of their walkers and moved to meet up with the four speeder bike pilots. Shadow took his time climbing up out of the tank's hatch. He was still coming off a nice little rush from blowing up that AT-ST. He thought maybe he would come to like vehicle duty just as much as melee or sniping. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Later that night, in the main enemy building, the Dark Dragoons and Raiders threw themselves a party. They had a lot to celebrate, especially the welcoming in of their two newest members. Drinks flowed and spilled and the music blared loudly as the troops fought over who would get to dance next. After all, there were only two girls to choose from. As if their own victory hadn't been enough, they had received word that the rest of the VEA and EIH had managed to seize the enemy capital. That meant they now had complete control of the planet and a new base to stage operations from. The Dragoons and Raiders would be visited by Prefect Talon and some more of the higher-ups in the morning. But, for now, it was party time. Of course, Shadow was sitting off by himself. The young man seemed to be in deep thought as he sharpened one of his two swords as Jedi neared closer, with a drink in each hand. "Want anything, Corporal?" he asked, offering one of the ales to Shadow. The younger man shook his head and went about his business. Jedi reached out with the Force and brushed the troopers mind, trying to get a sense of his feelings. What he felt surprised him. "Are you still upset about Yellow 5 and Mastermind?" he asked. The two troopers were going to be buried and memorialized the next morning when Talon and the others came to visit. Jedi had almost forgotten they had died, with all the commotion of the celebration. He took a minute for his own self-reflection on the loss of two of his comrades. Shadow looked up at him with weary eyes. "It was my idea that got them killed." Jedi shook his head. "Maybe . . . but it wasn't your fault. I'm the one that gave the order - and the one who placed those charges." Shadow frowned. He didn't seem to reassured. "Oh, come on, Shadow. Liven up a little. We won! This is a time for celebration, not mourning. Save that for tomorrow, man." Shadow put his sword back in the sheath and stood up to tower over Jedi. "Maybe so. But that doesn't mean I'm going to disrespect their memory by getting myself drunk and making a fool of myself." He was eyeing some of the others as he spoke. Jedi laughed. "Well, maybe you do have a point there. But you can have fun without disrespecting them. I promise." During his last sentence, War Woman and Grizzly wandered over to the two men. "Hey, nice shooting out there today," Grizzly said, offering a hand to Shadow. Shadow just stared at the other man's hand until he put it down. Then, he seemed to change his mind, mumbling a thank you. "Are you related to Lieutenant Commander Bear?" Jedi asked, eyeing Grizzly. The new trooper shrugged. "Who's that?" "Nevermind," Jedi mumbled, walking off. Grizzly hurried after him, asking about who Bear was. "Shadow, get over here and dance," War Woman urged. "You can't sit over here alone all night." The swordsman took a step back. "Well, ummmm, I . . ." he muttered. "That's an order," she said, laughing. "Straight from Snake even." "Really?" Shadow asked. That made her laugh even harder. "No, not really." Shadow frowned. "I don't know how to dance." "Are you any relation to Spartacus or Darkhawk?" she countered. "Who?" he wondered aloud. "Nevermind. Just get over here and try to do something. Reikane and I can show you how to dance." He still seemed to hesitate. "Unless you'd rather dance with Demi Wraith?" she stressed. That was enough to get a laugh out of Shadow, only the second time he'd offered up laughter since coming down to the planet. "No, I wouldn't like that too much." And with that, he moved off to join the rest of his fellow soldiers. Perhaps it would be okay to enjoy himself for one night; maybe his comrades weren't so bad as he had first thought.
