Strider opened a standard pack of 20 mines and began placing them around the perimeter of the enemy base. The young corporal never did care for dealing with high explosives, but then he supposed he would have to deal with it. "You sure this little guy can get us out once all these things are placed?" asked Strider. "He's never failed before. He just seems to know where every single mine is. It's almost as if he has a canine version of the force in him." answered Shadow, laughing. Strider nodded and continued to place mines around the perimeter. Almost immediately after he had placed a mine, Interceptor would bark to indicate he had figured out where it was hidden. Somehow, some way, this dog could sense mines....

Rizzit joined the rest of the squad at the table. Everyone had awaited anxiously for him. "You got the stuff Rizzit?" asked Otto. "Yea, I got it."replied Rizzit. "What Stuff?"asked Jubei. "Oh yea. I forgot. You haven't been with us lately. Well, in our spare time, we like to play Sabaac. It passes time a lot." "Cool, I wanna play."replied Jubei_Nimiichi "Good. Get ready then, cause `Strider is dealing first." `Strider dealt the cards, and the squad prepared themselves. They knew that this would not be a hand they would win easily. "By the way, when this round is over we play two more. After that, we're going into the sims. I have my wristwatch simulator perfected. I want to be in tip-top shape for our mission in a couple days." said Rizzit. "Agreed."said Otto Vox.

"Should I let him die slowly, or put him out of his misery?"--Rizzit

Kuroishi entered his quarters.  There was a message waiting for him that came through the long range comm array. Checking the ident numbers it had come from his otherself.  It was an audio message. Playing it, Kuroishi made out through the static that it was "Ride of the Valkyries" by Richard Wagner(pronounced Vagner).  It meant his otherself had caught up on the news and anticipated his next move once this campaign was over. "Now time for some 'training'. MWUAHAHAHAHAHA."  Kuroishi said as he grabbed his rifle and changed the drum clip. Kuroishi ran out into the hallway.  Running down the corridor to where the bar was he jumped and did an action holovid roll with paintballs spraying Raiders. "Catch me if you can."  Kuroishi said as he continued down the hall without missing a pace. Kuroishi jumped up to the ceiling and watched as Jubei in his crimson armor ran past him. Keeping his legs wrapped around an air ventalation pipe Kuroishi let go with his arms and leveled his rifle at the back of Jubei's head and fired a five shot burst. "Tag you're it."  Kuroishi said as he ran off down a T junction. Kuroishi used his infamous ability to blend into any background and watched as the confused Raiders tried to chase him down. "The Raiders ain't a bad squad but when it comes down to prank warfare no one beats the FA or the DK."  Said as Rizzit was left to make sure Kuroishi didn't double back. "How the frak?"  Rizzit said as Kuroishi stepped out of his hidding spot. "It's a talent.  I don't doubt your squads combat abilities but as far as doing insane things like what I just pulled I think you are all too mentaly stable for that.  Now I better go hide again before your squad tars and feathers me."  Kuroishi said as he dissapeared into another corridor. Rizzit just stood there too dumb struck at how Kuroishi managed to ellude his detection when he was just a few feet away.

      Patrick was dieing with laughter. Kuroshi was just standing at his door amazed. " Hang on Kuroshi I am gonna go get someone.. That is just..Hilarious." said Patrick running down the hall to Argon's room.  "You better watch yourself. They are having a paintball war right now." yelled Kuroshi.         Patrick took his pistol's out and changed the clips in them to dummy rounds.       Tap.Tap.Tap.Tap.Tap.Tap. Lukas was still  tapping no one would get him out.     Patrick ran by Lukas's door and stopped to listen... Tap tap tap tap. So Patrick tapped back. Tap tap tah tap tap..

At that exact moment, Tycho tripped the control to Lukas' door, causing the antagonist and protagonist to fall on each other. Just as they hit the floor, Argon walked around the corner. "Nice to see you're keeping yoursleves busy,"he said as he stepped over the pair. Rounding the corner, he found Kuroishi, his armor the brilliant red of the Raider's paintballs, busily loading all his weaponry with paintballs, and there was a lot of weaponry. "Hey Dai,"he said,"I heard Jubei hit ya.  You need any help getting back at him?" "I could use some, sure,"replied Kuroishi. "Good,"said Argon,"cause I got a few surprises wired around the base for him..."

..."Whew, that was a great battle Jub." D-13 said as the wiped out the last of the Gungans. "Don't you find such great pleasure in blasting them?" "Heck ya... I need another drink after all that exercize. Care to join me?" jubei replied. "Naw, i think ill see whats goin on around the base." "Ok watch out for Kuroishi, if u see him, tell him you haven't seen me." Jubei yelled as he ran down the corridor. "I have to be extra careful now." he tought. As he rounded the corner, he realized that he was actually heading TOWARDS Kuroshis quarters. He heard Argon and Kuro talking "Hey Dai,"argon said,"I heard Jubei hit ya.  You need any help getting back at him?" "I could use some, sure,"replied Kuroishi. "Good,"said Argon,"cause I got a few surprises wired around the base for him..." "hmm..." Jubei thought, "guess i better watch my step. " He then turned on his hell and found another way to his quarters. Once there, he stripped out of his armor, put on his ceremonial black bandana and sleek, jet black armor he made, made sure he had his schnapps, then loaded his sniper rifle with dummies, and ran to find high ground. he made it to tone of the observationtwoers, and was climbing up the ladder, when it started shaking, he looked up and saw that it had been cut through and was breaking apart. He looked down and saw Kuroishi and Argon smiling at him, with a big vat of tar right under the ladder and sacks of feathers in each hand. Jubei tried to climb the ladder before it fell, but to no avail, He landed in the vat *SPLAT* and Arg and Dai pulled him out. just in time to feather him. However, Jubei was not finished. He grabbed his repeater and blasted both of them, then strategically retreated, only to find that Argon and Dai had set up a holocam and broadcasted it all over the base. Mortified, Jubei returned to his room to clean up and plot his next prank.

OOC: Hey, let me have some fun! The3Djedi walked down the hall, couldn't help laughing at what the moniters had just broadcasted.  Seeing Jubei walking down the hall, he regained composure. "Hey Jub!" "Hello." Jubei said in a monotone. "C'mon, it's not so bad.  Hey listen, I have an idea, but i'll need some backup" "Huh?" The3Djedi leaned up close to hir ear and whispered something into it.  Jubei started to smile, and his smile broadened untill he was laughing. "Pretty good, eh?" "HAHAHA!  Lemme just go get cleaned up, then i'll meet ou there!" Still chuckling, Jubei wal;ked off toward the showers.  the3Djedi quickly ran back to his room, and loaded is grenade launcher with dummie rounds.  Smiling, he slipped on his backpack and hurried to toward Kuroishi's room.  Jubei hurried up behind him.  Smiling they set their trap, and hurried away.  A few minutes later, Argon and Kuroishi walked toward the room. "That was great!" Argon was laughing. "I know, I know!" Kuroishi agreed, "I can't wait to see the rest of the RAIDERS reaction!" Watching from a hidden camera, Jubei commed the3Djedi. "OK, Jed, here the come...Now!" The3Djedi walked around the corner just as Argon and Kuroishi started into there room. "Hey! Argon, Kuroishi!  That was soo funny, what you did to Jubei!" "Heh, yeah, i though so!" Kurioshi answered. "Well, gotta run, I'll see you..."  SPLAT! A big red paintball exploded inside of the3Djedi's shirt. "AWWWWWWWW!!!!" Jed! Jed!" Argon and Kuroishi bent over the3Djedi, thinking he was hurt.  The3Djedi rolled over groaning, red "blood" splattered all over the help!" Kuroishi started to rip Jed's shirt off.  Suddenly, another painball exploded in both Kuroishi's and Argon's face. "MWAHAHAHA!!!!" The3Djedi pulled out two heavy reapeters,a and opened fire. Over Jed's com, Jubei could be heard laughing...broadcasting live!" Dodging a punch, the3Djedi ran off toward his bunk, leaving Argon and Kuroishi to wipe the "blood" off their faces, nearly running into Rizzit on his way out.

TJ found a pretty large room and after setting a few things up, took his place in the centre of the room, with his back to the doors. The Raider trooper waited patiently for his prey to arrive. After a few minutes, he sensed Patrick making his way cautiously down one of the corridors. 'Perfect,' TJ muttered to himself. The next thing he knew, TJ felt the door being opened...very quietly. Then a thud as a shot came from the Dread Knight's gun. Already expecting it, TJ spun and froze in place with the force. Throwing it lightly back at Patrick the other trooper easily got out of his way. TJ on the other hand, was way ahead of him and with a spiralling leap into the air pulled the couple dozen paintballs he had placed around the room...The majority hitting Patrick's stunned figure. "What's with using the force!?!?!" the Dread Knight hollered furiously. "Sorry, couldn't help it," TJ replied, grinning. "Look at it this way, I didn't freeze 'em for you." With that, he took one last look at Patrick's paint stained body and with a flash, slipped out of sight and moments after had left the room.

Rizzit gathered all of his troops together. Seeing most of them had left the table, he figured they were tired of sitting around. He pulled out his wristwatch and deactivated the sabaac game. The table and cards vanished instantly out of sight. "That's a pretty cool trick!"said Patrick, impressed. "Thanks."said Rizzit."Not bad for a rookie computer nerd eh?" With that, Rizzit left to meet the rest of the squad in the training sim room. Upon arrival, Rizzit noticed that Jubei and D-13 were still in the training simulator. Rizzit switched it off. "Well, if you wanted to train, I could have sent you somewhere."Rizzit said with a grin. "Yea, I can imagine where you would have sent me."Dee replied sarcastically. "Well, anyways. We are going to prepare as a squad. I am splitting us up into groups again. As practice in pairs, I will go with Jubei. Otto will go with `TJ. Jed, will go with Shadow. `Strider will take Dee. This is so that in case emergencies come up, we will be able to work with anyone. Now, Our mission is basically to kill everyone. However, I am sending you off to different spots. Dee and `Strider: you will go to Geonosis and kick some butt. You will find that the Rebels are now in league with the Geonosians. Destroy their forces. Then you are to find the one in charge there, and destrou them. Otto and `TJ, you will go with them. However, I am sending the two of you into the catacombs. You are to primarily neutralize enemy forces. You are to make sure nothing is being planned behind our backs. You will find this simulator to be based on recent true events in this part of the galaxy. I believe that this will be of use to you in a future mission." said Rizzit. "Rizz, what shall we do if we complete our mission?" asked Otto. "Shall you complete your mission early, go aid the others." I will call you out of the sims early to rest up for the next day. You basically have 36 hours. Good luck."replied Rizzit. The four troopers nodded, as if they accepted their mission. "Are you ready?"asked Rizzit. Again the four nodded, as if to say yes. Rizzit pulled out his wristwatch, amoung the eight red buttons: he pressed four. When they were activated, they turned green. As each button was activated, one squad member disappeared. Rizzit pulled out his comlink. He had programed the sim, to allow the comlinks to work. "Otto? Dee? `Strider? `TJ? hello?"Rizzit said as he tried to get through. "We're here Rizz, though I'm not quite sure how we are communicating." replied Otto. "Well, I programed the sims to let us communicate." "Ah, I see. Well, there apppears to be a fault. We are in a metallic room with no way out." "Oh yes. I need to set the sim."said Rizzit, as he turned a dial on his watch. When the dial read Geonosis, he pressed it like a button. This turned all buttons blue. This indicated, that the four members were at their destination. Geonosis was hot and sandy. There were many mountains, in a sense it felt like Tatooine. It was lucky that their stormtrooper uniforms were on, or they would probably get sun-burned. "Better?"asked Rizzit. "Yea, but we're all together, and the sun is HOT."Otto replied. "I know. To get to the catacombs, you must find them. And the sun, well deal with it. You don't think that things would be easy for you. Do you?" "Yea, should've known better. Replied Dee." "Well, I'm closing the link. Gotta take care of the rest of us. "Roger."said `Strider. Rizzit put away his com-link, and looked at his remaining squad members. He was debating over where to send them. "Well, I know where we are going."he said after a long pause. "We're going to Kamino." "WHAT?" asked Jubei_Nimiichi. "That's right. There are two things that need to be done. Shadow and Jed, you will go check on a bounty hunter there. Rumors have it he is also trained in the Jedi arts, and more powerful than Yoda. But that is only a part of your mission. You will be posing as ambassadors and find information out about him. Transmit all info over to me, unless you feel that you can take him yourselves. However, if you cannot, I will take him myself. Your second objective is to stop the creation of the second clone army. The Rebels learned of how we had created our army, and are deciding to copy us. How WUDE! Find the ones responsible, and destroy them." "And what about us?"asked Jubei_Nimiichi. "Right. You and I are to kill off the source of the clones. It's someone called Dah Tryanz. Not sure exactly who he is, but that is the source. We shall then go and attempt to take on their clone army in progress. I hear that it is coming along, but not too rapidly. Then we are to join forces with the others, and if there is time: we shall shut down their facilities--permanantly."said Rizzit as he pulled our his watch. He pressed the remaining four red buttons, which brought the four troopers to a metallic room. It was white and silvery. Rizzit began setting the course on the dial. He pressed it in when it read Kamino. The squad was then transported to Kamino. The planet was very unlike Geonosis. It was constantly raining, and things were very cool. The troops were actually comfortable. The ground was slippery however, and if there were no armor, the troops would be soaking wet. Rizzit quickly gave last minute orders. "Okay, you have your assignments. Jub and I will take care of that army's souce. You go find info on that bounty hunter. Report back to me when you hear anything. Good luck." he said. Upon hearing this they all nodded. They all parted seperate ways, and went after their opponents. "Rizz, do you feel that they can take on a Jedi."asked Jub. "Well, I have seen it done. Jedi are weak, I've yet to see one that can't be killed. I would concern myself more with those on Geonosis. They're not exactly in the best place you can be. Especially since whatever physical damage is done in these sims, remains outside. I have not perfected that part as of yet..."Rizzit said uneasily.

[OOC: Using the force eh?  Well, two can play at that game, screw the HC rules about the VEDJ, I've had force ability since before I came here  ] To get back at TJ and the rest of the Raiders, Argon, Kuroishi, and PaTrIcK had infiltrated the sim. Myrrdin stood ready outside to trip the traps they had laid at the exits, and Tycho was in the sim control center, having overcome the Raider's password protection on the program. At Tycho's signal, every tree, every blade of grass, and every random animal in the sim became a gungan intent on hugging the nearest Raider. As TJ struggled in the grip of 20 gungans, he was suddenly hit by paintballs that he couldn't sense until one millisecond until the connected. 100 meters away, Kuroishi sat safely with his ysalamiri on his back, pegging TJ with the "paintballs". But, as TJ found out the second he took a whiff, they weren't paintballs. They were a sulfurous solution made to smell exactly like rotten eggs with some dead fish guts mixed in for good measure. Meanwhile, D-13 suddenly found his weapons lifted from his person and floated toward a grinning Argon. At the same time, PaTrIcK ran around randomly distributing paintball marks. By the time the Raiders got free of the gungans, the DK were back in the bar, having a celebratory drink  [OOC: If you're gonna do a prank, do it right  ]

OOC: Jub, Argon's had Force ability for a LONG time, all the way back when we were all part of Intruder Wing, IIRC. Tycho loved pulling pranks like that. He motioned Argon over to talk about a prank to pull in the near future...it'd be quite nice for Argon's fish to appear at certain places at certain times... He had spent the small amount of credits he had won on a small shot of brandy. Looking back on his experiences in a semi-not there state, he realized why none of them, save Patrick, had had a successful relationship. He then passed out from Argon's little trick of putting a special powder in the drink. The last thing he thought was "Oh ****, not before a mission..." OOC: Myrrdrin, please respond to my e-mail about the Starcraft Tournament. You have 7 days remaining to face me. If not, the penalty is that you forfeit the series (we've got to keep the tournament running smoothly).
