Raiders



Darr-Rann slumped against the wall, assessing the situation. They were in a small cell, with solid, windowless walls with the exception of the bars. The bars were solid, so it wasn't likely they were going to be able to simple bash them out. The lock was fairly solid too. Outside the cell, three armed troopers sat playing a game of sabaac.

I'm a comm tech, plus we've got a combat engineer and two heavy weapons. He thought, What do... Wait. He turned to Squall.

"You wouldn't happen to have any explosives on you?" He whispered to the trooper.

"I've got a pit of plastic explosives and a couple of detonators they didn't find, but it wouldn't do any good - They'd tear us to shreds if they saw me setting them. Besides, we still wouldn't be able to take them."

Darr-Rann contemplated for a moment, then spoke, "It looks like they might want to interrogate one of us soon - I'll let it slip I'm squad leader, so they'll take a go at trying to break me first. I'll cause a disturbance, get a couple of the bastards to rush over and help. While that's going on, set it up and blow the lock down."

"D, they might..." Aeos began, but the Squad leader cut her off.

"It's already decided. I'll be fine." He said. He paused for a moment, then spoke. "Why do you call me 'D', anyways?" he asked.

Just then a trooper walked in. He didn't have a helmet on, so his scarred and deformed face was available for them to see. The man looked in at their cell, his face twisted into a gruesome smirk.

"Well, which one of you will be first." He said.

"Don't bother, ugly. None of my troopers are going to tell you anything." Darr-Rann said. The man's face temporarily flashed with rage, but that was soon replaced by a look of amusement.

"Team leader, huh? Guess I'll start with you then." He nodded to one of the other troopers, who unlocked the door. The trooper raised his weapon to the ready while the man took the raiders squad leader by the arm, pulling him out the cell and slamming the door. Darr-Rann pulled his arm free and elbowed the man in the ribs, which bought him a swift kick in the stomach.

"Come on, this one isn't beeing cooperative, give me a hand." He said. Two of the troopers restrained the sergeant, while the man held his blaster to his back. "I'll have no more trouble out of you!" He said, growling. They dragged him off, towards the hall.

"We're going to have a little chat." The man said, his hand drifting to the handle of the knife which was sheathed at his belt...

"Darr! No!" yelled Rogue slamming his fists against the bars with force and dropped down to the ground, feeling miserable, angry and hopeless at Darr-Rann's fate.
"Keep your distance Imperial," said one of the guards as he walked by, he slid the butt end of his rifle across the bars causing a rattling of clink- to sound.

Aeos rubbed the bridge of her nose, as she tried to fight for an idea through the waves of worry and anger that just settled on her.
"Squall, if you had an distraction....would it work?" Rogue lifted his head from his slumped position with a flicker of hope shimmering in his dark emerald eyes.
"Yes, distraction....that we could do."
Squall glanced at the two Raiders incredulously.
"You are not serious are you, how do we do that?"
"Easy, " muttered Rogue confidently, he glanced at Aeos. A deep frown was  carved into her features accompanied with a small impish grin tugging at the corner of her lips.
"We simply wait till the guard passes again," said Aeos, hushing her voice down when another guard strutted pass their cell again.
"Or  lure them closer," Rogue continued excited as he pulled himself into a straight posture and clasped his hands together.
"Grab one, headlock him or something, viola! There is your distraction," said Aeos proudly.
Rogue grinned.
"Great minds think alike, "
Squall chuckled.
"And fools don't differ either. Sounds like it might work, so lets do this,"

RK looked down at the Stormtrooper that Jag had just killed, amazed at the Skill the trooper had. "Nice shot."

"Thanks." Jag replied bringing his gun back to pointing straight down.

"Alright, let's move forward, no time to mount that guys head on my wall." Phenix led on.

They kept pressing forward until they stopped to take a break, RK was the only one to sit. "So we just going to wander all day or what, it gives me the creeps down here." This time Jag was the one to give RK the surprised look, though his cocked head was all RK could see.

" You mean to tell me RK , The tough guy, is creeped out." Jag was being Sarcastic, RK could here Phenix chuckle.

"Yes, that's exactly what I am saying." RK paused, a drop of water landed on his shoulder, he jumped, then sat back down. "You mean to tell..." He was cut short, he could hear the faint sound of footsteps in the distance. Phenix stopped laughing and looked up, Jag did the same.

"Get ready, We've got company." Phenix said.

Rk got inot postion, he laid flat on his back, His gun held at arm's length. Jag kneeled down using his knee to prop his one arm. Phenix just stood there with his gun ready to fire.

Soon the smell of smoke wavered into his nostrils, whoever was coming brought explosives. Soon RK saw the white of stormtrooper armor, then all hell broke loose.

There has got to be at least 10, maybe more. He couldn't tell through all the smoke, all he knew was there were more of them and right now eclipse was outnumbered. "Phenix, draw back, maybe we can dwindle there numbers with some explosives." RK pulled on of his explosives off this belt, he didn't set it yet, he waited until they were far enough back. Jag shot one of the trooper down, Smoke and the smell of dead bodies filled the tunnel, Just another wonderful part of war.

"No don't use explosives, the last thing we want is this place to fall in on us." Phenix kept firing, however many there were, didn't matter, they were going to die, this was going to be there final resting place. "Hold your ground, start advancing forward, we got to drive them back, if we stand here we are easier targets." Phenix was right, they advanced forward.

RK heard screams from every direction, He looked to his right to see a guard standing, he shot him, Rk watched as the guard went flailing into the stormies in front of him. A faint crash against the walls could be heard, then there was the sound of earth coming down.

"MOVE!" RK jumped, he caught Jag shooting as they fell to the gournd, it reminded him of one of those action movies he watched back at the barracks. oomf they both hit the ground, just narrowly escaping falling debris.

The smoke cleared and the firing stopped, dead bodies lay strewn all over ground, rubble lay between them and the tunnel they just came from.

"Is everyone alright?" Phenix asked, as he held out a hand to RK.
"Yea Just peachy." He brushed himself off then helped Jag get up.

"Yea, minor scraps, nothing major." Jag replied, picking up his strewn equipment.

"Alright,then let's move on, doesn't look like we will be going back that way anytime soon." Phenix turned and led the way back into the dark tunnels.

" So you still creeped out?" Jag asked RK as they headed Forward. RK didn't respond the rest of the way.

Rogue walked up to the bars that denied him freedom and tried to get the guards attention. "Excuse me I'm kind of parched can you get me some water?"

The guard walked up to and stuck the barrel of his blaster through the bars to poke Rogue in the chest. "Be mindful of what you ask, otherwise I will kill you ought of spite."

With that the guard turned around and was about to walk away but Rogue spoke. "Before I kill you, I just want you to know, you should never have come to Illum." Rogue grabbed the snowtrooper's cape and pulled it through the bars, which brought the trooper's back right up against the cells. Rogue grabbed the trooper by the shoulders and began to push and pull as fast as he could making the trooper's head strike against the metal bars of the prison cell.  Aeos quickly moved in to snatch the guard's keys.

Immediately, two blaster rifles were pressed against Rogue's skull. "Let go of him, or we will show your friends how small your brain is."

Rogue let go of the snowtrooper who fell down to the ground, one of the troopers helped him to his feet and look at Rogue in a menacing way. "I think I will show you how to properly kill someone, you two" He pointed at the other two guards. "Bring him out, I think it's time we interrogated him, what do you think?"

The jail cell was opened and Rogue was pulled out and as they cuffed him and were on their way escorting them out Rogue turned to see if he had accomplished his mission, Aeos smiled at him and dangled the keys in her hands Rogue allowed himself a grin.

They may make me wish I was never born, but when they get out I will happily show these assholes how to really kill someone.

    ***Wraith Squad***


                Yoder and Leth dragged Narga through the door, seeing as to the fact that Narga had passed out after the beating he had received.  The blood was still trickling from his nose when Yoder realized this and suggested they do something to stop the bleeding.  Leth stepped out of the door and grabbed a handful of snow, coming back inside and jamming the snow into Narga's nose.

"Where should we bring him, Sir?" said Leth into his comlink.

"We're not too far from the entrance, just look for a squad of storm commandos and you'll know it's us." Replied Arnaut

"Understood." Said Leth as he and Yoder continued along dragging Narga down the corridor.

Arnaut caught something out of the corner of his eye, a pair of boots being dragged out of site.  He knew it was Leth and Yoder, so he tried to get their attention, but it was in vain.  The two wayward troopers continued onward not realizing they had already passed their squad.  As they walked on they came to a turn, so they rounded it and caught sight of a squad of storm commandos.  Relief washed over the two as Yoder strode forward.

"Well, here he is sir.  What do you want us to do now?"

"What the hell are you talking about, I didn't ask you to bring anybody here."

Shit! was the first thought that came into Yoder and Leth's minds.  Yoder began to back away slowly and said, "Oh, sorry, we'll just go bring him back. . ."

"Wait a minute," Said the Delta as realization swept over him too.

Yoder and Leth grabbed hold of Narga and took off running as Leth dropped a grenade.  The deltas dived for cover to get away from the grenade, buying Yoder and Leth just enough time to get out of sight of the deltas.  The explosion exerted enough energy to wake the unconscious Narga.  He began to fight, but remembered what had been said to him.  The three took off running  going down the hallway much faster than they would have if they were still dragging Narga.

Maybe I can get away thought Narga as he rounded a corner, trying to escape from Leth and Yoder, and running straight into Snipes' boot.  Yoder and Leth came around the corner and stopped, panting.

"Deltas."  Said Leth and Yoder in unison, as the rest of the squad heard the sound of footsteps coming toward them.

Rogue was dragged into a soundproof room; in this room there was a desk with a chair and a chair facing opposite of it. Rogue was brought to the chair that was opposite of the desk, his arms were cuffed around the chair. Two of the guards stepped out of the room which left Rogue with the one he tried to kill, the man sat down at the desk.

"What am I to do with you?" The man asked as he relaxed at the desk.

"You could let me go." Rogue said hopefully, he was nervous and kind of scared, he had never been interrogated before but had heard grizzly stories.

"No, I don't think I'm going to do that." The snowtrooper stood up and removed his helmet, placing it on the desk he started walking towards Rogue. "I think I will slowly kill you." The man gave a hard punch into Rogue's abdomen.

Rogue's speweed out air and saliva as the man began to severely beat Rogue's exposed chest, all of a sudden he stopped and turned around and quickly walked back to the desk. The snowtrooper opened a drawer and withdrew a case.

"Do you know whats in this case?" The trooper asked as he used his keycard to open it.

Rogue spat out blood and saliva and was unable to talk.

"I'll take your silence as no, all inquisitors need tools, these are mine." The trooper opened the case and Rogue saw all manner of instruments such as corkscrew like knives, sharp blades, pointy sticks, and all other manner of torture weapons. The man pulled out a sharp knife and slowly cut vertically down Rogue's chest.

"This is just to make a fleshwound, next comes the corkscrew. How many men are attacking this outpost?" The trooper started cutting lightly.

Rogue tried to stop from crying out but the pain was just too unbearable. "I don't know you sick freak." Rogue spat at the troopers eyes and was rewarded with a backhand the sent him and the chair falling, Rogue's head spun and as he was about to pass out he heard the snowtrooper say.

"Now where did I put that smellsauce?" Rogue passed out.

Durandal's arm burned and his head spun. The tank was sticking half in half out of the door, and all the Dragoons inside seemed momentarily stunned. But Kami Got to her feet quick.

"Enemy forces are running for the tank!" Kami shouted, staring out the viewport. "Let's show em' what the Dragoons are made of!"

He moaned weakly and struggled up. Not quite the dramatic response she was probably hoping for.

He grabbed the grenade launcher at his side and stood up shakily, then stuck it out the window. He looked out to see about a dozen enemy troopers coming down the hall to the main door, and aimed ten feet in front of the oncoming troopers. He fired, and dropped the spent launcher, falling back in the tank.

He could barely see as the troopers in front slowed and turned around, trying to retreat from the grenade. But the ones behind hadn't caught it apparently, cause they kept pushing foreward for a moment.

The explosion came and the troopers in the front were shredded. Durandal saw blood spray everywhere and he turned back in the ship. He crawled over to his duffel bag.

He looked up to see the others grabbing their rifles and extra detonators, Kami had an E-11 in her hand, and opened the back hatch to let us out. Sam was trying to pilot the tank out of the doorway, and Kael now manned the turrets, blasting in the doorway.

He pulled out at extended clip for the anti-armor rounds, and slammed it in his DC-17, hefting it lightly. He looked at the counter of the normal rounds, and decided it was close enough to full to keep it. He strapped two extra clips for the normal rounds and one for the anti armor to his belt.

He left the rest of the ammunition in the tank, and he stepped up to the door, the other troopers were right behind him. Zafo, nudged his side with his elbow and bowed his head. Durandal nodded back, and he stepped into the white.

------- Ten Minutes later, inside the compound------

Durandal's mouth tasted of copper, and blood was on the inside of his helmet. His back was to the wall, and his armor was singed and burnt where laser blasts had just nearly missed him.

He switched the release on his DC-17, and let the empty laser charge fall to the ground with a clatter. He pulled up a fresh clip, and slipped it in his rifle.

He looked around the corner, and saw an E-web set up, stalling the Dragoons advance. They were all there in the hall-way. In the past ten minutes they had only advanced 20 meters inside the building. With him were Kami, Zafo, Urakai, and Galant. Kael and Sayah had stayed in the tank with Sam till reinforcements could arrive.

He sighed and slid down the wall, sitting on the floor and clutching his rifle. E-web blasts hit the wall next to them, burning it and preventing them from going around the corner and moving on. "We're stuck Gunny, what do we do?"

Rogue opened his eyes wide as a very pungent smell reached his nose, he was sitting in the chair again but this time his hands were not bound. Rogue looked at the hand that held the smellsauce it was small and delicate; very female. Rogue looked up and saw a snowtrooper helmet staring right back at him.

Rogue felt extremely groggy, he looked down and saw his blood slowly seeping out of the gash in his chest. The snowtrooper brought up a roll of gauze and began to staunch the flow of blood.

Rogue tried to push the trooper's hands away and mumbled. "I'm not going to let you heal me just so you could torture me."

A hand pressed up against Rogue's forehead and he heard a female voice murmur to herself. "hmm&no fever." The snowtrooper put a hand on Rogue's jugular. "pulse is a bit weak but not life threatening."

Rogue tried to make out who it was through his blurry eyes and as they started to take focus he noticed that there were two stormtroopers in the room and they both had the Raider squad insignia patched onto the sleeves of their armour.

Rogue's feeling of gratitude began overwhelming himself and a few tears trickled out. "I have never been so glad to see you guys." Rogue almost whimpered as he was overwhelmed with emotion.

Aeos chuckled. "Don't get all mushy on me Rogue, otherwise I will have to kick your ass."

Rogue laughed because the situation felt so unreal. "How did you guys get past the guards?"

Squall answered that question. "This psycho over here." He said pointing a thumb over to Aeos. "Put the key in the lock and turned it, she than insulted the guard, and when he came near the door she opened it has hard as she could. Damn near knocked the SOB over, we quickly overpowered him and grabbed our gear which was stacked in a corner, and here we are." Squall tossed a A-280 at Rogue, who caught it. "Let's go find Darr."

Arnaut ran arms ahead of him clutching his rifle for all his life's worth. Behind him the squad was sprinting as well, boots banging on the hard grate of the floor, rifles held ready for the inevitable. Even the prisoner had picked up on the mood. Arnaut wouldn't even try to convince himself that they weren't fleeing, dignity be hanged.

A wise man always took the fight to territory they knew well, and as they blindly ran, Arnaut was trying to find a close enough place to stage their stand.

They entered a large room filled with crates and Arnaut decided it was well enough. You can't run forever. Pointing out positions, Arnaut ordered the men to stand their ground and get ready for the upcoming battle. Two crates were dropped in front of the door, Yoder and D'har placed behind them. Two more crates stood just behind that holding Kanderin and a heaping load of grenades; support, in case things got fuzzy. The rest of the troopers made a semi circle around the door, ready for the charge. The prisoner had passed out.

The room had only one door, it seemed, and therefore only one means of exit. Quite a predicament Arnaut had shoved the squad into this time. Only one squad was making it out alive from this mess, and Arnaut intended for it to be his. The troopers shifted uncomfortably. They knew what was coming, and it wasn't going to be pretty. Down the hall, soft footsteps could be heard, approaching.

Yoder cast a look back at Arnaut, seeing if he had heard. It only took that one split second for a grenade to fall in front of the crate he was crouching behind. Before he could turn, the world exploded into flame.

Yoder and D'har were sent flying backwards, limbs flailing. The crates had saved their life, but the crates behind them knocked them unconcious when they collided.

Deltas flooded into the room, firing madly and with precision. Arnaut's carbine returned fire, but it seemed to be too little, too late. The Delta's were slowly pushing the squad backwards, away from the cover of the crates toward the back of the room.

Another grenade went off sending debris and smoke into the air. It became hard to see. Arnaut dropped to the ground rolling beside one of the crates. Above him, the Deltas surged forward, past Arnaut, oblivious to the Wraith hiding in the smoke just below their feet.

Arnaut unsheathed a knife as he stared at the back of one of the Deltas. Maybe the battle would turn out okay after all.

Rogue shook his head, still slightly groggy provoking a worried frown in Aeos' facial features.
"Rogue...maybe we should bandage your chest..."
"I'm fine..."
Rogue shook his head again, this time in a rather stubborn fashion and stumbled to feet. He swaggered violently to the right, but luckily Squall managed to catch him by his arm earning a nod of thanks and gratitude. Rogue disposed of Squall's grip and manifested his balance and weight against the nearest wall.
"Just woozy....momentarily,"
Aeos grinned, relieved to know her friend is still his old self.
"Bastards ate my remaining ration bar....their leader  clearly sucks even more then ours, if their troopers ate it willingly...I eat because I don't have a choice," babbled Aeos gesturing wildly with her DC-15 about.
Squall and Rogue both had a blank expression on their face.
"Is this....relevant?" asked Squall with wide eyes, Aeos cocked her head to the side and glanced at them before sighing.
"I suppose not, Rogue, you up and about to go?"
Rogue gave an affirmative nod and attempted his wides grin on order to assure her. The grin did not much convincing, revealing only bloody teeth.


***

With only three guards and one interrogator in a square room, all off-guard, it was not that difficult to snipe them from the door. Squall and Rogue continued to fire when one, clearly not dead attempted to reach for his pistol while Aeos darted to Darr-Rann. Like Rogue, he was tied to his chair and when Aeos cut him loose, he simply fell to the floor.  Unlike Rogue, he was untouched, except for the ripped flesh across his chest due from a blast that grazed his amour earlier.

"What did they do to him?" whispered Aeos shocked as a spasm shot through his body suddenly. Squall and Rogue immediately dropped on their knees in order to pin him down as the spasm got more violent.
Rogue's eyes glanced over the familiar room, because it was indeed the exact replica of his own torture chamber in which he was trapped. Rogue's eyes glided over the equally familiar case, though the equipment inside differed.
"They electrocuted him..." he muttered and clenched his fists. Aeos pinched the bridge of her nose as she bowed her head. Their despair was suddenly interrupted by the blaring of alarms giving them surge of excitement, hope and relief.
"They guys got inside, Raiders should be here somewhere, we need to contact them!" shrieked Aeos excited.
"Contact them with what? They destroyed our head gear along with our Com-Links,"  asked Rogue sighing, the reality of the situation returning.

DRAGOONS:

Having been the freshest rookie of the group, she was ordered to stay back and pick off strays with her sniper rifle. Shuffling from cover to cover, behind dead bodies and the tank, she managed to keep people from getting to the tank while only getting nicked at the shoulder and several burn marks of near misses.

Now that the tank moved PAST the ranks and the mech's this make life difficult for the sniper, because now both her back and front were exposed to possible fire. Looking at the tank, she noticed two of her squad about to go out on their own as well as the spray of blood from the explosive.

... She nearly threw up...

Still, something inside of her was excited, and had no regrets of joining the army. This was the adventure she craved, even if it was her last adventure. She was behind a stack of bodies that she made for cover, getting on her com to get the status of the situation.

"You need me at the can, or the ground? It's getting a little hot out here, but there's enough smoke around to cover me to get to either."

She knew better than to give descriptions of the battleground on the com because of enemy hacking, so she hoped her squad understood her names well enough. Staying down, she kept the scope up on her rifle in her makeshift bunker. After all, that was expensive armor, why not put it to use even AFTER they were dead? The smell of charred flesh was awful, but it at least didn't panic her. She was much better at melee, however, and was itching to put her daggers to use one more time.

Through the smoke, however, she could see one of the guard towers. Taking her scope to it, she knew she would need better cover before trying to pick off the gunner there. No doubt after that brilliant entrance, they got the towers attention.

"Watch the towers when moving out!" she added on the com.

((T'is a short one, I can't be online for long.  Just my way of saying, I'm not dissapearing just yet))

Talstorin retracted his electrostaff, beginning to head forward again, walking smoothly along the frozen snow.  It was cold enough so that the surface of the snow formed a hard icy layer.  This had made it much easier to walk on.  Talstorin bursted into a jog as he saw Yillis in the distance.  The assistant squad leader was alone hiding behind a huge chunk of ice.  He was faced towards the chunk, peeking out from the sides, his facing didn't allow him to see Talstorin behind him.  The trooper ran up to Yillis, tapping him on the shoulder.  Instead a surprised jump, Yillis turned his head slowly to face Talstorin.  "May I help you?"  Talstorin tilted his head in confusion.

"What are you talking about?"  Yillis shrugged and went back to peeking out from the side of the chunk.  Talstorin did the same.  Deltas were stationed below, facing upwards with whisper sniper rifles.  They were staring straight at him, though they did not see him.  Yillis pushed Talstorin away then shushed him with a finger.  He reached under the chunk and threw him a whisper sniper rifle, taking another one for himself.  Talstorin made a face. 

"Are you insane?" he whispered, "They are three of them and two of us.  If we shoot, the third will hit us for sure."  Yillis shrugged again. 

"What happened to the fourth?  I saw the leader walk along."

    "He's gone, don't worry about it."  Talstorin readied his rifle, lying flat on the ground.  He wiggled along to the edge of the cliff, aiming his sniper rifle at the head of the middle trooper.  Yillis stopped him. 

    "There are three troopers, one is facing away from us.  If we get the two facing us, we'll have enough time to hide before the third turns around."  Talstorin nodded and aimed again.  Yillis did the same, holding up three fingers.  Then two.  Then one.

    Two soft whistles filled the air as the two of the snipers fell back and dropped dead.  The third turned around, looking at his dead squad mates then up.  Milliseconds later, he fell back, dead.  Yillis grinned.  "Wups, forgot to hide."  Talstorin chuckled as the two got their feet, running down the steep slope.  Hopefully, if they ran fast enough, they could catch up.

Jag took Rk's silence to let it go as they went off in the other direction. When they passed the door Phenix ordered Jag to go and check the stairway in case any one would sneak up on them from behind. He slowly opened the door weary for any one waiting behind it. When the door was opened just enough for him to see, a red blaster bolt came towards him.  He slammed the door shut just before the blaster bolt hit the door. He shouted to Phenix, "Look's like were gonna have company real soon!"   

Phenix signalled to RK and Jag to position themselves near the door. He whispered to Jag and RK just loud enough to hear over the squad's secure frequency, "All right I'll open the door. Jag you lay covering fire whilst RK throws a grenade in. Any questions? Good. On the count of three. One. Two Three!"

Phenix opened the door and Jag immediately began firing his blaster out the door. RK threw the grenade through the door but before the door closed a slug round from a shotgun came through the door and pierced Jag's shoulder blade. Jag went down as he heard an explosion from behind the door.

Jag heard RK shout, "Are you hurt!?
   
Jag replied, "He hit my shoulder not my ear!"

Phenix talking into his radio and to Jag said, "Don't worry Riqimo's on his way. RK go up to ground level to meet him." Without a word RK opened the door and ran up the flight's of stairs&

"Contact them with what? They destroyed our head gear along with our Com-Links,"  asked Rogue sighing, the reality of the situation returning.

"Our mission was infiltration of enemy barracks, supposed I'm right, there is an estimate two, so we are bound to meet up with them somewhere," muttered Squall, he had found a water bottle, and was now emptying half it's contents over Darr-Rann.

Moments later, coughs violently teared through Darr-Rann when he reached consciousness. Sputtering and still coughing, he sat orent, Rogue supported his back steadying him.
"Water, " was all Darr-Rann managed to choke. Squall handed the remaining water over to him silently.
"You had us worried," Rogue patted him in a appreciative manner on the shoulder
"Hehe, no reason, what the stats?"
"We think the place has been infiltrated by our guys, Squall was thinking, since we don't have communication, we should make a bee line for the barracks as our original mission briefing was...we are bound to meet the Raiders there," answered Aeos,  she plucked the few light strands tickling her eyes and nose out of her face.

"Good, so what are we waiting for?" asked Darr-Rann eagerly while Rogue was in the process of helping him stand.
"You?" muttered Aeos bluntly, Squall jabbed her in the ribs playfully.
"We need to get out of this place and reach the barracks without to much hassle, so what our next step?"

Aeos struggled in attempt to break the death grip wrenching her to move.
"Bit less movement A, not making this very easy, "
"Well, then give my blood some chance for circulation," hissed Aeos back in reply at Rogue. The latter chuckled from underneath his helmet. Disguised in enemy gear, Squall and Rogue was jogging through the facility with Aeos and Darr-Rann as they supposed prisoners.
Not that it matter, seeing as all and everything were in such disarray and chaos, explosions trembled through the ground and a symphony of blaster shots surrounded the building in which they were.

Constantly troopers crashed into them, or brushed beside them, the vividly flickering red alarms cascaded the sea of snow-troopers in crimson colours, themselves included. When iy only them on the halls, all pretence were dropped as the troopers simply ran as fast as Darr-Rann's injury allowed them to, once alien presence were detected, they assumed the role of guard and prisoner.

At the moment they were in a small and narrow hall, jogging again. Up front there was no-one in sight. Up till this moment, the pace was fast and  precise, though Darr-Rann was having difficulty keeping up. Each and every movement he made teared the skin and flesh mercilessly. Darr-Rann dropped to his knees in fatigue. Aeos skid to halt and bolted his side, Squall and Rogue quick on her tail.
"I'm ..keeping....... you guys..... behind, ........I'll catch .......up, " he said, choking on his breath through clenched teeth.
"Take of the armor, " order Rogue sharply. It was tedious and painful process to remove the gear, and Squall worried kept his glance sideways at both ends of the hall encase they were interrupted my enemy forces.
Darr-Rann pale face was starting to turn a sickly grey as Rogue and Aeos inspected him. They removed the crimson bandage from his chest.
Little collections of yellow pus oozed thickly from the edges of the wound on his torso causing Rogue and Aeos to exchange worried glances.
"Infection and prolly blood poisoning, anti-biotics would help?" asked Aeos, hoping to receive an answer from Rogue. He shook his head,
"I don't know, best think is to carry him,"
Darr-Rann, now, semi unconsious shook his head limply.
"Not leaving you behind either buddy,"

At that moment however, a terrible explosion ripped through the wall a few meters away from
them. Squall kept his rifle in a steady aim as shadows formed through the thick smoke and falling debris. They sighed in relief, recognizing Aphamos' voice.
"Barracks, infiltrated. Keep and sharp eye out for them guys, "

"I'm fine sir! I can make it up the stairs" Jag shouted in frustration worrying that RK could be ambushed on his way up the stairs.

"I don't care! Thrawn forces could still come up this tunnel and hit us from behind." Jag now starting to see sense took off his helmet for finding it a bit hard to breathe. When he took the helmet off he could see his breath in front of him but decided it wasn't that bad as to put his helmet back on.

Jag leaned against the wall of the tunnel and took deep breaths trying to ignore the pain in his shoulder. He was lucky that the round from the shotty didn't go through the other side. But then again there wouldn't be a piece of metal in my shoulder other wise.  When Jag finally got comfortable he realised that he didn't know where his shotgun was.

"Sir you seen my shotty?"  Jag asked trying to keep as much pain out of his voice as he could.

"Last time I saw it RK threw it down the tunnel with the four or five rounds that hit it from one of the slug throwers."

Jag disappointment on his face from only firing it once or twice took out his pistol and examined it. He never liked standard issue pistols but regardless he was always a good shot with one. He was slowly starting to drift off to sleep when Phenix gave him a light kick to the ribs and whispered, "I think we got a squad of Thrawn soldiers on there way down the tunnel."

Aeos shrieked in surprise and relief recognizing Aphamos' voice. A gust of icy wind filled the hallway in which they stood suddenly, blowing snowflakes, the faint smell of war and fresh air towards the four Raiders.
"Guess, ex marks the spot huh?" Aphamos grinned, but this only lingered momentarily before he laid eyes on his squad leader.
"We need to get him out of here, and fast," said Squall as he hauled Darr-Rann's limp form over his shoulder.

"Yes,  Squall, Aeos, get him to base, report back quickly,"
Squall shifted Darr-Rann weight carefully over to his right shoulder.
"We need to cover him with something warm, or he might go all hypothermia, armor only tears the wound open,"  said Aeos worriedly while scavenging for new helmets among the dead and frozen bodies, following Rogue's example.
"We could always use the capes and cover him with that," suggested Rogue, he did not wait for a response and bolted for the nearest body. He shred the capes from its owners and handed it to Aphamos who in turn tried to cover Darr-Rann without causing Squall any hinder during their return to the base. Aeos, meanwhile, was fastening a helmet on Darr-Rann's head to keep the cold out.
"Sir! "
Aphamos spun around at the panic detected in Leon's voice, he was pointing with a quivering gloved finger at the an oncoming force rounding the corner in the hall in which Rogue, Aeos, Squall and Darr-Rann were previously in. Aphamos and the rest of squad squashed their backs up against the wall on the outside, keeping their rifle on the edge of the gap.
"Get Darr out of here, we'll hold off," ordered Aphamos calmly yet crisply as the first, but the not the last round of fire began within the barracks.

Leon watched as Aeos and Squall darted off into the misty white gloom that soon enveloped them. Leon stared at the spot for a second more, and then turned his gaze to the four remaining Raiders. Leon and Rogue were on the right side of the blown in wall, and Aphamos, Rayden and Preditor were on the left side. Crimson Red bolts of energy could be seen flying out of the hole. A single thought came into Leon's head.

There scared.

Leon could feel something spread throughout him, a new kind of feeling that he had yet not experienced- adrenaline. Something inside of him told him that he was going to have to fight, that he was going to kill, and it was either kill or be killed, that's what Aphamos told him earlier on there way to the base. But Leon didn't really care if he died or not, he new dieing had to be something bad, but not as bad as the pain he had experienced earlier. But there was also one other thing Aphamos had told him, that if he killed all the enemies and did not die, he would get his memory back.

So Leon finally had a purpose, his only purpose to live right now, and that was to get his memory back.

"Ok everyone, were going to have to hold the fort until Aeos and Squall get back. And as of Darr's condition, well, I dunno if he'll be finishing this mission with us, but lets just hope he can. Now, any of you got any ideas for how we should charge in there?" Aphamos said over the intercom.

"Yes, this one does happen to have some ideas," said Preditor, sounding as vicious as usual. "This one will jump in front of the hole and start firing, when they focus on this one, The White Knights will open fire and kill them, is that ok Aphamos?"

"Yea it is Preditor, just don't do anything stupid, as soon as they divert there attention to you, get out of there as fast as you can. Were ready when ever you are."

In the blink of an eye Preditor was gone. Leon watched as the massive lizard darted off towards the front of the hole, letting off blaster rounds the whole way. As soon as Preditor had gotten to his spot, bolts bolts started flying again, and that's when the rest of Raiders sprung into action.

Aphamos was the first to start firing, taking two enemy troopers by surprise. The rest of Raiders followed suit, pouring their own blaster fire into the hole. In a matter of seconds, they had taken out the enemy troopers that were guarding the hole. Unfortunately for Leon, he didn't get any kills. It was taking him some time to get used to the rifle, but he was getting there.

"Good job team, now all we have to do is fend off all the enemy forces until the rest of the squad arri-" Aphamos was cut short, just staring at Rayden.

"What? What is it?"

Leon saw it to; an enemy trooper had managed to sneak behind Rayden, and was now pointing a rifle at the back of his head.

"Don't any of you move or else I'll blow his head off, got that?!"

Leon watched as the trooper opened his mouth again, but the words never came out. A blaster bolt came in from the hole, nailing him in the side of the head, and coming in clean through the other side. Leon looked outside the hole, and his eyes rested on a grinning Squall.

"I new you guys wouldn't last a second without me."

"Will he be fine?"
Aeos cast a worried glance at her squad leader. He lied on a makeshift bed of torn and shredded capes. Sedated by the medics they were fast at work pumping his blood with anti-biotics while cleansing his wound. The flesh now sported a healthy shade of pink with the dead skin and flesh removed.

Squall has left long ago, urging Aeos to stay and keep Darr-Rann away from the battle ground.
Aeos sat down next Darr-Rann who was now in a deep and restful slumber. She buried herself in three of four capes, hoping to regain some body heat. One of the medic pushed a ration bar into her hand on his way to another patient. Grateful for the bit of food, Aeos unwrapped it in a flash, and ate it.  She hugged her knees, resting her head on her kneecaps and fell into a light slumber.

"Aeos, come on, wake up!"
Someone was shaking her roughly by the shoulder.
With difficulty Aeos managed to open one eye and glance at the intruder of her sleep.
Darr-Rann frowned at her sternly,
"Get up, we need to go back, " he ordered crisply.

"Wha? But Dee, your...."
"That was not an suggestion Sergeant, it was an order, now get geared, and lets go, "
So much for keeping him away from battle, fumed Aeos. Darr-Rann, not usually daunted by the rank,  or  the position he held over his squad was now using his power.
"Permission to speak freely Sir, "
"Granted once we start getting back, catch!"
Aeos caught the vibro bayonet he tossed at her confused.
"In case, take your A-280, geared, lets go, " Darr-Rann  secured his helmet firmly and fell into a light jog.
Aeos meanwhile, managed to juggle the equipment and gear he tossed at her, and joined his side quickly.
"You will get killed, you were sleeping five minutes ago, how can...."
Darr-Rann stopped in his tracks and turned to her suddenly and quickly,
"Stop lecturing me Aeos!" 
Aeos backed away in surprise at Darr-Rann's outburst.
"Being killed is part of the contract! Seeing a squadie die, is also part of that! But, just like you I want to protect my squad, and if I die, so be it! Accept it and move on!" Darr-Rann was heaving up and down, gasping lightly for breath.
"Shit, what has--"
"You will keep your mind to yourself till we reach our destination," Darr-Rann spun around in anger and resumed his jog.
Aeos clenched her fists and bit her lip to keep her mind from shouting. She  glared at Darr-Rann's back, which now slightly obscured by the hazy mist of snowflakes. What, stuck out from Darr-Rann's rug sack however, shocked her.
"Stims? " Aeos shook her head in attempt to recollect her thoughts.
No wonder he's so moody, but he is a medic, he should know the effects of one stim to many, even if he is driven to reach the squad,
Aeos released the grip in her clenched fists.
Or maybe, he's just stressing extremely,
Aeos squeezed her eyes close, and opened them again. Darr-Rann was almost out of sigh, barely visible. Jumping to a sprint, Aeos made her way to his side, and slowed her pace, to the rhythm of his jog.

Darr-Rann gritted his teeth as pain surged across his chest. He carried on, despite the fact that his body screamed at him to stop, and all medical knowledge he had said it was a bad idea.

He had taken some stimulants, increasing his tolerance for pain and adrenaline, although that wasn't the reason for his mood - His troopers were off fighting while he lay recovering. For all he knew, one or more of them could have died. If they did, he would never forgive himself.

"Alright, double-time it Sergeant." He said, picking up his pace to an even greater level. They rounded a corner, then sudden found themselves face to face with a fire team of stormtroopers. Darr-Rann threw himself down, drawing out his A280. Aeos quickly fell back around the corner, drawing her rifle as well.

Shots landed around Darr-Rann and slammed into the corner which the other sergeant took cover. Darr-Rann aimed a shot at the torso of one of the men, squeezing off a three shot burst. The trooper took two of the hits directly, then staggered back and fell, burning holes in his torso plate. Aeos leaned around the corner, firing a series of shots in the enemy's direction. Another fell, taking a hit directly to the head. The two Vast Imperials combined fire, and the third went down, covered in fresh burns.

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


The interrogation room lay still, abandoned now from the previous activity. Seemingly, the two troopers at the interrogator lay dead.

Seemingly.

The interrogator groaned, his hand clenching on the hilt of his knife. The imperials had hit them by surprise, freeing their leader and shooting them down. He himself had taken a flesh wound, then fell and hit his unhelmeted head off the table.

He got up, covering his hand over the burn at his side. He walked outside, then headed down the hallway. He arrived at a door and pressed a series of keys into the electronic lock. He walked into the armory. I'm going to get those punk bastards back.

He walked over to the prisoner's locker, and drew out a weapon. He had seen the blaster shotgun in the hands of the enemy squad leader before, and he had heard the weapons were quite effective. He drew out a pair of e-11s as well.

Finally, he walked down towards a set of lockers at the end of the room. He pressed in another set of key combinations, opening the metal doors and disabling the auto-turret which hovered above them.

Let's see how they handle me in this. He said, opening the powered armor suit.

"For the last time Sergeant, move!"
"Permission...."
"No,"

Aeos slowly counted to ten and took a deep breath.
Darr-Rann was clearly not himself. Around them, the fog was slowly clearing. They were walking through a plain of dead bodies and broken equipment. The battle has long since left this area, moving its destructive chaos forward.

Lost in thought, Aeos failed to notice the shadows moving up front. Only when Darr-Rann started shouting did she return to reality.
"Get down fool!"
Dropping to the ground in the same fashion Darr-Rann did, they started leapord-crawling to the nearest  cover they could lay eyes on.

Just in the nick of time, because the space above the backs were now littered with a collection of blaster bolts tearing the air. Aeos propped the rifle against her shoulder and poked her head around the boulder they were using as cover.
Darr-Rann followed suite, propping his rifle at the other side.
"Aeos,  proton grenade,"
Pushing her personal anger against Darr-Rann away, she withdrew and went for her  utility belt.

Aeos gripped the sphere-like grenade tightly and pulled her arm back.
The grenade spun gracefully out of sight, and an explosiopn followed shortly.

"Darr-Rann?" Aeos pressed her back against the cold stone behind her.
Darr-Rann withdrew his rifle, doing likewise as Aeos. They were waiting for the next wave.
"What?"
"I know, I'm new and everything, but I also know, you haven't been very friendly with me, nor cold either. Why?"
Darr-Rann shifted around, clearly caught off-guard by the question, and clearly uncomfortable.
"Its just, a memory, nothing else," he replied.
Confused Aeos cocked her head to the side,

Darr-Rann remembered the explosion, the tower collapsing on upon itself then bursting into a briallant flame. He remembered sitting there, unable to help, unable to do anything but watch. Aeos' presense made the loss even worse to bear.

She looks and sounds so much like Evi. How can that even be possible? He thought. She reminded him of the loss, and in exchange he treated her coldly. He couldn't deal with a friendship with her.

"Darr!" Aeos yelled to him, snapping him back to attention. Another fire team of troopers rounded the corner, firing a flurry of shots in their direction. Darr-Rann and Aeos returned fire, cutting one down immediately before the enemy troopers dropped to make themselves lesser targets.

"Rifle against the ground!" He said, slamming his weapon so that it's side rested on the floor. He turned it so the barrel faced the enemies, then squeezed off a few bursts in quick succession. Aeos quickly followed, and they nailed a few hits against the enemy soldiers.

"We've got to move!" Darr-Rann said, getting to his feet quickly. He moved forward, his rifle still raised.

"D, it isn't clear!" Aeos said, a hint of frustration in her voice, getting up and following him.

We've got to get to them. I cant let them die. He thought to himself, rounding the corner and firing at a group of incoming enemies. I failed Evi. I failed so many people I cared for. I wont fail my troopers as well.

"They're gone already,"
Darr-Rann glanced at the opening in the wall of the barracks. It was tedious return to the barracks, and as they neared it, fire and danger only increased.
Upon further inspection as they ventured into the building, everything seemed silent and deathly quiet.
"Darr, I'm sorry, for whatever it is," Aeos spoke while kicking rubble out of the way as they  made their way into the building. There was no sign of any dead Raiders, much to Darr-Rann relief and concern for their current safety.
"Forget about it," muttered Darr-Rann blankly.
Outside the building, cries mixed with blastershots sounded continuously as the Vast Imperial Army spread it's destruction.
"Aphamos, where about are you?" 
Crackling static sounded, followed by Apahamos' reply.
"What are you doing here? We are in the mess hall, having a blast,"
"Don't move, meet you there, anyone dead or injured?" asked Darr-Rann with worry.
"Rogue got a nasty shot to the shoulder, but other then that and a few scrapes and bumps, we are fine, see you then,"

"Come, they are in the mess hall, waiting for us," said Darr-Rann curtly as he considered the four way halls in which they currently stood.
"Geeze,  no map?" Aeos said sarcastic.
Darr-Rann was about to contact  Aphamos for directions when a sinister chuckle reached their ears.
Aeos followed the sound till her eyes landed on man. He a strange suit of armor on, and blood covered face, but his eyes never seemed more alive. It was wild, mad and insane.
Aeos noticed from the corner of her eyes how Darr-Rann slightly recoiled at the sight of the trooper.
She pressed her hand against his chest when he was about to step forward,
"No, " Darr-Rann frowned, a surge of anger leaped through him, but it was to late. Aeos pushed him roughly out of the way when a blaster shot whizzed through the air, and dropped to the floor as well. Large pieces of debris, originally part of the ceiling proved as a faithful cover. Aeos gripped her DC-15 tightly, and took a wild shot towards the man. The opponent, released a wild laugh as he shot wildly and boldly towards them. His aim never on spot, yet making it dangerous.

Phenix came on Riqimo's radio, instantly causing the hallway guard Riqimo was sneaking up on to turn around, Jelly fired a carefully aimed shot from the end of the hallway.  The commotion in the halls caused the doors to the other rooms to open, sending out several troopers, Riq dived to the floor and pretended to be dead as he was in the middle of the hallway the techs and guards were coming out from all sides around him.  ignoring his medkit falling open and spilling all over the floor, he carefully pulled his pistol out.  Riq surprised the Thrawn men nearest to him with some quick shots.

"Doc, you there?" Phenix came over the radio again.

"One sec," Riq muttered as he kicked the legs out from a tech running past him to reach the roof ladder.  then hitting him on the back of the head with the butt of the pistol, while stuffing all his medic stuff back in the kit Riq went back to the radio, "What's wrong?"

"Jag got hit, shoulder, can you get down here?"

Glancing to his right Riq saw a tech about to swing a pipe at him.  he quickly ducked and using a surgery knife to kill the tech, "Uh sure, you guys still in the lower levels?"

"Yeah, RK will meet you."

Riqimo explained the situation to Garet and ran down the stairs, while Jelly and Garet went to make sure that the roof was clear.

"Hey Doc, over here hurry.  Jag's got a slug in his shoulder." RK called out from the top of the sublevel stairs.

"Show me where he is."

RK led Riqimo to where jag was laid against the wall.

"This is really going to hurt, so let me give you this sedative, uh wait, never mind, then we would have to carry you out of here, here's a painkiller."

Once Jag was stabilized, Riqimo began pulling out his surgery equipment.

"Uh, Doc, I can keep my arm right?" Jag nervously glanced at the sharp knife that Riq just pilled out.

"I really don't think that will be necessary," Riqimo replied as Jag heaved a sigh of relief, "Now this will be a lot less painful if you release the tension of your muscles."

Carefully using his small, but very sharp knife, Riqimo made a small cut in Jag's shoulder.  Then using his tongs, carefully grasped the slug and pulled it out.

"Does this painkiller actually work?" Jag gasped between his heavy breathing and groans.

"Yeah, but I can't use a very storg one, I'll say it cut the pain by about half, so don't complain."

Remembering he was out of synth-skin, Riqimo muttered qa few curses to himself and pulled out a bacta patch, "Put this on for now, I'm gonna run up the stairs and see if they have a medical quarters in this tower that might have synth-skin."

"Doc, stay here, we got company again," Phenix shouted.

Riqimo, quickly pulled his gun out and told Jag, "See if you can get either Jelly or Garet, there was a medical quarters on the fourth level, tell them to find some syth-skin and bring it down.  if they don't know what it looks like, tell them to look for anything that has a label with skin on it."

Jag nodded his head and Riq ran off to help RK and Phenix.

Snipes found himself crouched down, behind a box, the smoke was everywhere around him, clouding his vision, even the filtering properties of his helmet seemed to be messed up, he didn't concentrate on it though, instead he pushed himself out from behind his cover at the back of one of the delta's, the other black armored trooper didn't have time to hear Snipes flying through the air, and didn't know death was coming until the felt the icy dagger break through the back of his spine and push through his throat. Snipes caught some motion out of the corner of his eye, there was no blue dot over it, so his right hand came up, in it was his silenced pistol. Two bullets flew out of the weapon, not waiting to see if they hit anything Snipes dove behind another box. He hit the ground rolling and let himself continue until he was at the other side of the room. He stuck his head up, only to see the red glow of a blaster barrel, Snipes ducked again, three shots went flying over his head. Snipes heard a few more shots exchanged this way, then that, Snipes rolled himself into another corner, laying in wait.

Minutes passes, precious minutes, the smoke began to clear, Snipes visor began to work properly again. Finally the smoke did settle down, then it was easy to survey the room, the Delta's were dead. Quite dead. Snipes found the one he had knifed and pulled his knife back out, returning it to his boot. He pushed the trooper over with his foot, quickly scanning his body; Snipes grabbed his gun, then deciding he was dead moved on.

There was no need for Arnaut to shout orders, the squad knew what they needed to do, Narga had been killed in the exchange, and Snipes didn't think he would have been that helpful anyway, so they were going to have to go in guns blazing, it reminded Snipes of his days in RAIDERS, General Infantry. Trying not to recall that, Snipes ran behind his compatriots, they hopped in a turbo lift, the lot of them, and took it straight up, to the top. It took far longer than they would have liked, any of them, they knew they were running out of time.

The door opened, Draken was out first, blaster at the ready, the rest of the squad followed quickly. It only took them a second to orient their collective self, but even the loss of that second was felt. They moved forward, straight away from the turbo lift door, the hallway was short and lead directly to the command room, hallways T-ed off at the turbo-lift, but this was the one they wanted. They moved in, quickly. When they found the door locked D'har wasted no time slapping an explosive on it and, once the squad was out of the way, blowing it in.

The Wraiths burst in during the confusion, blowing holes through anything with armor. And when the dust cleared there were a handful of officers and one very upset looking naval officer. This last naval officer obviously wanted to kill him, and he seemed to be the one in charge.

"That ones Vaynus," Arnaut pointed at the proud, yet angry naval officer.

"Alright, well, if you don't mind, we'd be much obliged if you'd just toss those side arms over there, nice and slow" Snipes motioned to an empty side of the room. 

They did so, all of them, Snipes was a little surprised at how little a fight they were putting up. But there was no mistaking the holo, that was definitely Vaynus.

"What on..."
Aeos pulled her helmet off, the game of cat and mouse between her and the man had lead to him losing sight of her. Right as of this moment, he was crouching behind a boulder a few yards away from her. Aiming now would be foolish, he would immediately spot the rifle, she needed to distract him . She tossed her helmet into the air. It flew with bow, immediately attracting his attention. He lifted his rifle in the air and fired. It all took place in less then five seconds, but five seconds was all Aeos needed and she fired her own shot. 
Grinning she sat back, the bolt was aimed at he heart, but with shock she watched how it slammed against the amour, but instead of a scream and blood following, small electric bolts crawled over the area where he was shot absorbing the blast.
"Shit..." Aeos bolted away as fast as she could upon this development.
Crawling and dodging her way through the chaotic collection of boulders and debris, the man's menacing laughter could be heard across the room.
She felt a hand clamp over her mouth, while another hand gripped her shoulder jerking her back.
"Shh, its the man who interrogated me, his name is Ryte, I;ll try to disarm him from the fire-arms, attack with your bayonet, his neck is exposed," ordered Darr-Ran with haste and slight panic in his voice.

Darr-Rann pushed her away, Aeos scrambled as fast and silent as her clumsy clothes allowed to another cover. Darr-Rann meanwhile was propping his rifle into position to take aim. Ryte meanwhile, grinning with child-like wonder at his surrounding smirked.
No wonder he's an interrogator. The guy is mad! Aeos thought to herself with staring wide eyes. He stood mere paces away from her, allowing her to study him up close.

He had muscular stature, but of small frame. The majority of his body was covered in this power suite he was wearing. With multiple attacks stretching over a period time, Aeos suspected it would lose its worth and capability. They did not have the time for this. The only weakness about him was his exposed neck.  A helmet that covered him from the nose were firmly attached. His thin lips was curved into a sneer, a chuckle escaping every now and then. Sandy blond hair stuck out from underneath the helmet. He seemed to have strong jawline, but with a weak and chubby chin.

In his hands, he sported two E-11 rifles, standard equipment of Stormtroopers. Pushing his elbows into his sides, he was able to support the balance of these two rifles with ease. He strutted around in confidence while keeping a watchful eyes out for anyone movement. He would not be fooled again.

"Darr!" hissed Aeos softly and impatiently, not worried that he might hear them, since the majority of sound they made were greatly overshadowed by the sound of war raging outside.
"Gimme time, I only get one shot here, for one rifle, then I need to move again. Next shot will be with your DC-15, " muttered Darr-Rann softly. Aeos looked at the Sergeant dumbfounded.
"My DC?" she asked frowning. Darr-Rann nodded. Reluctantly she pulled her DC-15 from its place at her utility belt and slid it over when Ryte looked away.

Darr-Rann took it with a nod of appreciation and clipped it to his own utility belt.
"Get behind him if you can, " ordered Darr-Ran as he finally took him aim, mustering all the precision he could to fire this one chance. Once he fired, he would betray his own hiding place, and with now chance to grab his rifle, he would have to do with with the DC-15 Aeos handed to him.

Aeos, meanwhile, was in the tedious process of reaching him from behind. She crawled from one piece of burned debris to next boulder while making sure, no hand or feet touched any loose particles or objects that might be in her way.

It was difficult getting behind him as he kept moving around, in the end, Aeos had to be content with attacking him from the left side.  Darr-Rann's finger curled around the trigger, while the target of the rifle kept shaking around ever so lightly, yet when it shook, it moves completely of target.
"Stand still dammit," he whispered to himself softly. Miraculously Ryte stood still, obeying Dar-Rann's request.
At that moment however, Darr-Rann was tempted make a shortcut to Ryte's exposed throat. It could end their misery in a shorter time, but it he was not sure if the armor reacted over edges as well, and that was a chance he could not afford to take. He squeezed his finger around the trigger Instantly a blast whizzed from the barrel through the air towards the rifle in Ryte' right hand. It hit dead on, not only knocking it from Ryte's grip but also rendering it destroyed.

Deciding to  take two steps into the plan, Aeos threw all caution to wind, and decided to make use of his confusion which unfortunately only lasted a second or two. Her bayonet unsheathed, she jumped from behind onto his back and wrapped her legs around his waist. Darr-Ran cursed.
"Foolish girl, " he said to himself bolting from his crouched position the floor to assist her. Ryte was in no position to shift his fingers down the remaining rifle towards the trigger, and Darr-Rann risked it to near him. As soon as he could reach it, Darr-Rann grabbed it plucked it from his grip roughly.

Aeos, meanwhile, was having difficulty reach his neck with her bayonet as he kept shifting his balance around so impulsively it was impossible to stay on him. Ryte in end, growing fed up with female reversed. Forcefully he stepped back in order to squash her against the nearest wall. Aeos who had no time to react, felt her head connecting with some sort of rock, or another object protruding from the wall and blacked out.

Leaving Jag was the last thing Riqimo really wanted to do, but if he stayed there, no doubt that RK or Phenix would probably wind up getting killed or at least seriously injured.

"Take up a position, we're gonna try and hold this corner," Phenix gave his orders.

Riq heard the troopers coming around the bend and prepared to fire.

"Hey! Don't shoot, we're Vaynus" the squad leader called out.

Phenix quickly thought up a reply, "We thought you were those VE troopers in the tunnels, I think they ran off to the command center, you better hurry, we have a man down and cannot follow you."

The squad leader nodded, "Thanks for the tip, make sure they don't get in the com tower if they come this way.  Men, you heard him, let's go."

The Thrawn troopers ran off down the hallway, leaving Eclipse slightly amused.  they turned back to Jag and saw Garet, Typex, and Jelly come down the stairs, Garet held a container of synth skin in his hand.

"Great, I'll take that," Riqimo said as he began working on Jag once again, "There that should be fine."

Garet looked at Jag and deciding that he was fine, gave a run down, "Typex got the white noise out, every Thrawn com channel listed in the computers are jammed and locked.  That includes the navy ones, so the bombers are going to have some problems.  In addition, all radar signals are now jammed, which in turn means the bombers must fly only by visuals.  The range of that radar jam is only 1.5 km, so our escape shuttle should be fine landing outside of there."

"So we pull back now?" Phenix asked.

"Yes, but I think that we got a good distance to go and our swoops are probably not going to work well, considering the blizzard is finally starting to kick in. I don't want us walking out in that blizzard, so we head to the garage and 'borrow' some vehicle."

"Uh, how do we get to the garage? These tunnels are a maze." Riq asked.

"Simple, Doc, I downloaded the tunnel maps," Typex answered the question.

"Eclipse move out." Garet ordered as the squad holstered their weapons and treked out into the ice tunnels, Typex leading the way with his datapad showing the map.

The squad made steady progress down the tunnels. The glow lamps along the way casting an eerie glow over the squad in what was once gleaming white armour which was now in need of repair- apart from Riqimo Garet and Jelly Bean the only one's that hadn't been injured. The worst looking trooper was RK with his armour stained with blood from the injury he sustained what felt like a life tome ago was in reality less than 15 minutes ago.

With Typex in front leading the way- his eyes more or less glued to the data pad to make sure they didn't take a wrong turn. In some places the tunnel was poorly built with some narrow passages but otherwise it was like a relaxing stroll  if it weren't for the fact that the whole squad was tense and on alert for an ambush from Thrawn troopers.

Jag's shoulder was feeling a lot better now, but there was still a small hole in his armour, which was making his shoulder hurt bad and the cold was spreading around his body. He wanted to turn the heat up on his suit but was worried that if that happened he might drift off to sleep. That fact didn't help either because he was bringing up the rear with Riqimo n front of him. He said to Riqimo over the squad frequency, "Hey Doc you got any adrenaline shots?" Jag asked with hope in his voice.

"No, sorry I decided to bring along a sedative which of course has turned out to be useless&"

The tunnel reached a sharp bend and all of a sudden there was blaster bolts flying in to the wall as Typex jumped back bolts narrowly missing him. Jag decided to take a shot by shouting, "Vaynus squad what are you doing where on your side!"

The reply that came back was, "Which squad is this?"

Jag looked to Typex his expression unknown behind his helmet. Then Garet shouted, "Eclipse squad." The entire squad held their breath and the Vaynus squad leader shouted, "Sorry man, can't be too careful."

"Sure." Garet shouted back as he whispered over the squad frequency, "All right wait until we get up close and then engage them in hand to hand or get them with your weapons. Just remember to be careful, we don't want any more casualties here."

The squad wearily rounded the turn to find five troopers identical to Eclipse in every way apart from the insignia on each other's armour, which was not visible from this distance. When Garet came up to the Vaynus SL they shook hands and before anything else could happen Garet grabbed the enemy SL and pushed him into the other troopers who were quite slow to react.

After what felt like ten seconds Jag was disappointed because he didn't get to do anything. When the squad was sure they wouldn't have anyone following them Garet ordered, "Phenix throw a grenade down that tunnel to stop any followers."

I must not die... Leon aimed his rifle at the top of a Durasteel table, which was now turned into a bunk. Three opposing soldiers were behind it, letting off snap shots, accurate snap shots at that. Leon started to see a pattern though, he was oblivious to what was happening around him, oblivious to the sound of his squad mates firing there rifles, and screaming in commands over the comm. Leon wanted his kills, and he was going to get them. He now new there pattern, and was going to break them down one by one.

Leon squeezed five shots out of his rifle, all of them flying over the top of the over turned table. He quickly ducked down, and waited for the return fire. A second passed, and then he heard shots sound off, harmlessly hitting his makeshift bunk. Leon had only a few seconds now. Hopping out of his bunker, Leon let out a couple more shots, all of them in no specific direction, just to keep the enemies heads down. He ran as fast and as quiet as he could, which wasn't really hard due to the noise around him, in no less then two seconds Leon was now on the other side of the make shift bunk.

A rifle popped up over head, fired off a couple of shots, and then went back into hiding. It was Leon's turn to do some damage. Leon got into a crouching position, put his shoulder against the table, and slammed his shoulder as hard as he could into the table. He let out a grunt, and to his success, the table toppled over. Leon heard a scream as the table fell onto one of the troopers, the sound of armor plating and bones being crushed could be heard.

Leon took aim at the trooper to his left, squeezed the trigger, and watched as the blaster bolt hit its mark, the enemy trooper falling to the ground without a sound. Leon heard approaching foot steps coming from the right, and instinctively jumped to the left. A Vibro-blade sliced through the air where he had recently been. Leon took aim at the troopers head and squeezed the trigger. He didn't have a chance. Leon watched as the crimson bolt met with the troopers face, burning through the back of his head, and then falling to the ground.

Leon then turned to the screaming trooper. "PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE!"

Leon brought his rifle up, took aim, and squeezed the trigger. The screaming had stopped, along with the rest of the noise. Leon was in his own world though, not realizing that the rest of his squad mates were looking at him, some of them a bit shocked. Leon wanted to know why he was so good at this... killing. It all came to him naturally. He had only picked up this rifle half an hour ago, and he was fighting like a trained killer. It was all so natural, it felt kind of good.

One thing though had Leon puzzled, why was the man screaming for someone to help him? Its not like dying was a bad thing. Or at least that's what Leon thought.

"Let's hope that these tunnels are clear for the rest of the way," Riqimo muttered, already getting agravated at the seemingly endless numbers of Thrawn forces.

"How much farther Typex?" Jelly asked as he looked over his shoulder at the datapad.

"Not far, right here guys," Typex responded, "We got three more turns and then we are there."

Upon hearing this piece of good news, the first for quite a while, the squad perked up and began trecking a little faster.

Jelly stopped short after the next turn, "Guys, look here," he said pointing to the ground.

Riqimo looked where Jelly was pointing, a rather large foot print was there, looking around, he noticed something else, "This tunnel was not carved by humans.  I think Gorgodons might be ahead."

Garet stared hard at the footprint for a while, then turned to Typex, "Is there another way?"

"Yes, but it would involve cutting through a tunnel that was closed for repairs according to my map."

"We'll risk that tunnel, I don't think messing with any Gorgodons in these tight tunnels will turn out well."

Shouldering his carbine, Riqimo turned to the dimly lit tunnel that Typex started heading towards.

"Oh wait, this way sorry," Typex said as he turned around and headed to an even darker tunnel.

The glow of the datapad lit their way for awhile until they reached the area where all the tunnel lighting was out.

"Shoot, all these nifty gadgets and we don't have a simple flashlight on this suit." Jag groaned.

"I guess we will have to keep going with only the datapad's light," Garet replied.  Riqimo looked at the small datapad, which was only casting a faint glow, giving them a visibility of only two meters at best.

Garet continued, "Keep an eye on the person in front of you everyone, I don't want to lose anyone in these tunnels because you couldn't see and took a wrong turn.  Hold hands if you have too."

The squad chuckled at the joke, trying to remain positive.
Well there can't be any Thrawn forces here if it is this dark, but if a Gorgodon is up ahead, we won't see it until we are two meters away...
