Mandor pulled out his E-11 and started spraying shots as fast as he could. He went through a clip in about 30 seconds. He didnt hesitate to reload, he just pulled his double O-6 Blaster pistoles and started charging the gaurds in an attempt to shake their nerve and give Daishi time to get the door open. He charged past the first gaurd and just shot one time hitting the man in the throat. He kept running with a pistole to each side firing as soon as he saw one of the gaurds. He felled at least 5 on his mad dash down the hall. As he got farther down the hall the gaurds were starting to turn to get away. He didnt stop he just continued firing into their backs. He was hoping his ploy to make him apear like a Fallen Angel was working. As he neared a guard that held his possition he pulled the trigger, but with no response. His ammo was out. He dropped the pistoles to the ground and stood staring at the guard. The guard raised his blaster to his shoulder and looked down the sites. Mandor fell to the floor, and a blaster shot went both ways over his head. The guard fell to the floor with blood seeping out of his armor onto the steel floor.

Mandor heard Lukas over the com yelling to get back. Mandor thought that was a good idea and ran back to the end of the hall taking the time to get his weapons. The hall was clear for a whole 45 seconds until another dispatch of guards flooded the hall.

    Raziels mind spead along like the famed millenium falcon. Firstly he though evaluating the situation. He had abandoned his rifles somewhere near the door, he had expended the charge in both of his hold out and all he had in the way of knives were a few undetectable organoplastic blades and a couple of his needle thowing blades tucked away. For cutting purposes he also had a molecular stilleto which in a pinch could be used.
    The distance between himself and Lo'am seemed huge though. He doubted even if he was stood a foot away he could strike the man. Frankly Lo'am scared him. And then if he escaped what then? His plan had been to head over to Kuroishi's own command centre, but thinking about it, it was probably too late now.
    His thinking went onto a deeper level now. If he died he, right now, stood before this man, would it have been worth it? He had rescued Rhylena and almost had something to look forward to now. A happy retirement perhaps? He had been killing or stealing for as long as he could remember. Yes, it probably would be worth it. Kuroishi was good man and he deserved to get through this, Raz had known the risk.
    If he went down now he would let his killer know he had failed.

    "By now most of your men are dead anyway," Raziel smirked.
    "No i'm afraid not. I know my men they will hold their ground to the last,"
    "Heh, you have no idea what they're facing right now. Have you heard of the Fallen Angels? Have you heard of storm commandos? Face it you lost to me,"
    With that Lo'am closed the gap between them in an instant, Raziel's hand shot out to try and strike the pistol. Lo'am hadn't even come close to losing control of himself and pulled the pistol from reach whilst keeping it trained on Raziel.
    Raziel fell back a few feet and crumpled in two, he struggled to fight for air. Lo'am had kicked him harder than anything had before.
    "Are you going to die with some dignity or not?" Lo'am asked.
    Raziel struggled to his knees, one arm still held across his midrift. Lo'am held the pistol straight at his chest.
    "They sent me here to keep my menacing eye on you and i never ever fail."

    Through the pain Raziel hadn't even noticed the door move. He did however see Lo'ams eye flick in the direction of the door.

    The next instant seemed to last forever. Lo'am started to turn almost faster than Raziel could see. His right arm shot across his body and under his left arm, his head turning to spot whether the target was friendly or hostile.
    Gritting his teeth together with determination Raziel pulled two needle knives from his left gloves. For a microsecond he held them by the last centimetre and picked his target.

    Instead of turning towards Argon and stopping he carried on pirouetting and fell heavily to the floor. Argon lunged across the room and landed on the body. He pulled the man up from the floor to attack him, but the body went limp in his arms. Argon turned Lo'am's head to one side as blood welled out of a tiny hole in his temple.
    "Now that was a scary, double hard b****** of a man," Raziel wheezed as he tried to stand.
    "I'm scary," Argon said, turning to face him and grinning.
    "You're not a man," Raziel said.
    "Humph. And what an earth killed him?"
    "One of these," Raziel said. He pulled one of the three inch triangular blades from a compartment on the outside of his glove. He ran his finger down the flat of the blade, feeling the miniscule spikes that were angled towards the rear of the blade.
    "Once it's in it doesn't come out,"
    "Anyway you asked me to bring these?" Argon tossed him a small bag. Inside were his IR-5 repeater pistols and some ammo.
    "That'll do nicely, now whats the plan?" he asked. He was beginning to recover from being winded so badly and hefted one of the pistols and looked down the sight.

After leaving Argon, Fish quickly considered his options. The main prison building lay ahead, with the designated exit route on the other side. Dai and the others were on that side and heading in, and Kuroishi's cell lay roughly between the two. Three things needed doing, so far as he could tell. The cell block control room needed taking to knock out the local force fields, the main control room needed taking to knock out the other force fields, and someone really ought to go and let Kuroishi out.

A blaster bolt brought Fish out of his brief reverie as it flashed over his shoulder. He dived down behind a bench to get some cover. The fire was coming from one of the guard towers. Stonefish pulled a grenade. 3rd and 10 with 12 seconds left. They need a TD to win. It's got to be the Hail Mary. Blind firing for a moment, Fish pulled the pin. Jumping up from his cover, he backpedalled to get a better view of the target and threw. The frag grenade sailed through the air, rising and falling like ball on the final play of a football game, and popped in through the firing slit if the guard tower. A second later, a sharp report was heard, and a puff of smoke wafted out through the slit. No more blaster bolts.

Taking a run toward the prisoner entrance of the cell block, Stonefish decided to go for the cell, leaving the (probably) more heavily guarded control rooms to the others. Unfortunately, Stonefish did not know what today's encryption routine was, so he had no comms with the others. He was relying on Argon to let Wraith know he was down here.

The cell block door out of the exercise yard lay ahead, closed and locked. A small keypad awaited the right code. Stonefish pulled a glob of what looked like green goo from a belt pouch, gave it a couple of squeezes and slapped it across the keypad. It been to sizzle and pop, the face melting away to reveal the electronics inside. They melted too, and the door popped open to reveal a half-dozen guards with blasters.

Stonefish pulled a pair of pistols and dived into the middle of the group. The guards turned in, pulling a variety of pistols and bladed weapons.

Daishi located Kuroishi's cell and began to look over the barriers betweent him and Kuroishi.

"No time for subtlety."  Daishi said as he affixed a blasting block to the cell controls.

A bang later and Daishi forced the doors open.

Daishi and Kuroishi looked each other over.

Despite having been created as the same man they had always been awkward when interacting with each other.

"About time.  Where have you been?"  Kuroishi asked as Daishi helped him up.

"Sorry there were a lot of people on my dance card before I could get to you.  Can you run and fight?"  Daishi asked.

"If I have to I can run.  Firing a rifle is no problem."  Kuroishi answered.

Giving Kuroishi a flame carbine Daishi added his fire back to that of Lukas and Mandor.

"Time to make our way back outside gentlemen."  Daishi ordered as he picked up Tyummk.

Kuroishi let out a plume of flame to cover Wraith's retreat.

Blaster bolts saturated where Wraith squad had been.

Daishi rounded a corner and was met face to face with something he did not expect on this mission.

"Ramon Stonefish.  We can talk later but right now we got one hot exit to make."  Daishi said.

"Raziel, Argon.  This is Kuroishi.  We're on our way out.  Meet up at the rendevue coordinates.  Argon accompany Raziel, he most likely does not have a flame carbine to deal with the local plant life."  Kuroishi commandered Daishi's comm.

"We go out the same way we came in.  By now the rest of the regiment will be on alert and activly patroling in force.  Watch yourselfs and hopefully the path we made coming will still be there.  This will be my last order to you, Kuroishi will resume command of his squad."  Daishi commed Raziel and Argon loud enough for the Wraiths in his presance to hear as well.

"Daishi take point.  Lukas you got rear guard.  Let's move before too many party guests show up."  Kuroishi ordered Lukas, Daishi, Mandor, and Stonefish.

"Dang," muttered Argon as he packed up his sniper rifle and leapt off the roof, "Wait up Raz!"

He caught up to him quickly enough, sprinting most of the way to where Raz stood.

"Nice idea with the flame carbines," said Raz, "they made you a bit obvious in the entrance, but it was definitely a bit spread out in the obvious fashion."

"Yup," said Argon, "Daishi's a bit different in the tactical sense than Kuroishi, Kuroishi still prefers the FA way of doing things."

"Nice," said Raz, "where's the exit point?"

"Over there," said Argon, pointing to the other side of the compound, "we're not coming back through the tunnels, they'll probably figure on that."

"Great," muttered Raz, "as far away from us as possible.  Figures."

"Ah well," said Argon, taking out his flame carbine and grinning widely, "makes more fun for me."

((Out of Character: If anything is wrong with this part, please tell me so I can make changes.))

Lukas and the Wraith members did the best they could to see through the smoke and flames since the charages went off.

He still covered the flank position just incase anyone came down the corridor behind them near the prison entrance.

All of a sudden, more guards came around the flank corner were Lukas was covering and opened up on them with a shower of lasers from his blaster.

Raziel and Daishi also opened up on the guards as well.

The Wraiths were somewhat surrounded on either side of the corridors, Lukas got up and ran gracefully towards the guards firing as he went hitting a couple of them between the eyes.

He noticed that Raziel and Daishi were covering him as he went and also looked back to see if the pointment were ok.

In the corridor Lukas scanned to see if there was anything he could get behind and noticed a table. Lukas jumped behind the table and tipped it over, pushing it over towards Raziel and Daishi.

He gave Daishi and Raziel a thumbs up, poking his head over and firing as more guards came around the corner.

Lukas got up once again and volleyed the table with one swift jump, he ran down the corridor and peaked his head around it slowly.

There was a doorway were the guards seemed to flood from and that was were the weakspot was, he thought.

So Lukas tooked out two grenades and tied them together with some bondage tape so they would stay together, he then pulled the pin.

After he did this he launched it down the corridor and heard the guards voices in panic and a large explosion errupted.

Lukas waited a few moments and looked around the corner seeing the whole corridor caved in a mass of rubble and metal.

He ran back down to Raziel and Daishi and told him what they had done, hoping he had bought them a lot of time.

Daishi flicked the selector switch to single fire mode and tossed it to Kuroishi.

Kuroishi responded by tossing the flame carbine to Daishi.

"Alright time to affect our exit."  Kuroishi said as he began sytematicly eliminating guards with his legendary aim.

Daishi grabed a grapple rod in his left hand and readied the flame carbine in his right hand.  With the elimination of a couple of guards along the wall Daishi had the small opening he needed.

Daishi shot the grapple rod over the wall and was rewarded with a contact on the other side.  Hooking the grapple rod to his waist he started the motor to climbing and blasted flame at approaching guards.

Blaster fire pelted Daishi as he ascended but it made little impact.

Drawing his vibro-katana Daishi began to march forward and force the troops along the wall back.

"We've got our opneing to make a break for the exit point, let's move."  Kuroishi said as he fired several shots in quick succession.

Wraith moved seemlessly.  The guards not pinned down by Daishi tried to stop Wraith but it was no good.  With the destruction of the armory there just were not enough weapons to go around to all the guards and soldiers.

Daishi watching Wraith make thier exit sheathed the vibro-katana and gave the troops a rude gesture as he jumped over the exterior wall.

So far everything had gone as planned and now Wraith just had to make it's escape.  By now the various elements of the regiment posted as extra security would be on alert and quite possible sending out additional patrols.

Daishi descended the wall and let hiself loose.  It only took a couple of minutes for him to rejoin Wraith.

"At this point I'm going to assume that the enemy has figured out that the Fallen Angels were not involved, or at least have figured out that none of the secondary targets are in any further danger.  That means they will have a lot more patrols spreadibng out to find us.  They will most likely concentrate on the burned out areas that we came in from.  Keep those flame carbines at the ready and we'll take our alternate route back and hopefully ride off into the sunset."  Kuroishi barked out as Wraith marched.

    "I'm not sure just how quickly they'll be responding to changes in tactics right now. The main command consoles are screwed and the overall commander is dead. The secondary command centre to fall back to the one above Kuroishi's prison and as far as we know that's still unreachable after i put up the containment fields.
    "However i believe the plan might work, after all the fact that we come back at them will confuse them enough." Raziel finished with his input and then looked to Kuroishi. Then he appeared to go vacant. He tilted his head to one side.

    "Oh dear," he murmured.
    "What?"
    "I'd heard they were bringing in a shipment of two vehicles but they didnt tell us what."
    "What are you talking about?"
    "I can hear hover craft engines powering up. Whatever you're doing i'd do it quick. I'm guessing a couple of armoured hovercraft are going to come after us in a few minutes and we'll be easy targets down here," Raziel looked down at his repeater pistols. They wouldnt even penetrate a heavily armoured trooper.

Mandor stood and watched as his squad ran to compleat their objectives. He stood looking at the giant, maneating plants. He took his flame carbine with a giant grin on his face and started on a nice stroll through the mess of plants. He went flaming anything that moved, and a couple of times he burnt a couple of rabbit like animals. He just laughed all the more and broke their necks with his boot. He kept goin through the forest making his way back to their transport. He got to the ship about 5 minutes later and took position on the port side of it laying in the tall plants with his whisper slug thrower sniper rifle. If anyone even though about coming near the ship they would get a nasty dose of death to the brain bucket, and not even hear it coming.

The grapple snapped easily through the foliage, arcing over the lead hovercraft and flying over the other side, trailing rope after it.

It retracted swiftly, hooking itself over the other side and dragging two beings up the side of the vessel.

As soon as they were up to the level of the bottom of the hovercraft, both of them slammed their feet into it, rocketing them backwards to fly up and over the railing as the line continued to retract.

Argon carrying a heavy sniper rifle and Stonefish with his usual assortment of weapons began laying down fire among the unfortunate occupants of the upper deck of the hovercraft...

[OOC: I was going to use the hovers to get to the sensor relay, but never mind.]

Between them, Argon and Stonefish quickly cleared the deck of the first transport, pausing to catch their breath for a moment and decide what to do next. Before they could formulate a plan, a dozen more men piled up from belowdecks and launched a furious assault on the pair, while others from the second barge noticed what was occurring and began taking pot shots when an opening presented itself.

Argon waded into the fray, swinging left and right with a ferocity only a Whipid could muster, while Stonefish ducked back, and threw a small stun grenade at the fight.

"Argon!" he yelled, "Scream now!"

Argon gave the best primal roar he could manage at the same time the concussion blast hit the troops. Screaming as he was, Argon was completely unaffected by the grenade, while the human troops were stunned and began staggering somewhat. Easy pickings for Argon's heavy punches.

When they were all down, the pair headed below to get out of the enemy fire.

"What's the plan?" asked Argon.

"Take this one, ram the other one, and see if we can cause some secondary damage into the bargain. What else would it be?"

"Right. Of course. Control room should be foward of here."

Argon Viper squeezed past Stonefish in the narrow corridor, and slapped a grey block on the door next to the handle.

"Cover your ears," he said to Stonefish.

Viper fired to shaped breaching charge and dived into the control room. Four troopers stood to either side of the door in various states of dazedness. They had no time to react to a crazed Whipid with a rifle, and were dead before they blinked the dust out of their eyes.

Branches rattled against the windscreen as the hovercraft began to fall without anyone at the controls. Stonefish dived in and grabbed the stick, levelling out the descent.

"I've had enough of falling for one day," he said with a wry grin.

"Well, would you look at that," said Argon, "Looks like they've turned out the whole prison to welcome in these transports. Probably right before they all come running for us!"

"Guess what I'm gonna do now," said Fish, typing furiously into the control panel.

Lukas did as he was told and began to lay down fire on the plants that were attacking them.

The plants just seemed to keep coming more and more no matter how much they kept killing.

Lukas crawled over to were Raziel was and said to him, "Is there any mother plant were these things keep coming from.."

Raziel looked at him and said, "Yeah, the main one is near the back and is green looking"

Lukas nodded and looked through a pair of binoculars and saw it, he took his sniper rifle off his back and took careful and steady aim.

Lukas loaded his sniper rifle with a gauss tipped fire bullet and looked in the scope and fired the single shot.

It seemed like the bullet didn't do much effect but the mother then burst into flame, making a high pitched screeching noise.

"We've got incoming fighters," said Raz, looking at the sensors, "I'd guess at least two squadrons."

"We'll need to hold them until we can make hyperspace," said Daishi, "that'll be at least three minutes."

"They'll be on us in one," said Raz.

"Argon, Fish," said Daishi, "take the turrets."

The two rushed to the turret stations and warmed up their weapons.

"Turret one ready," said Fish.

"Turret two ready," said Viper.

"20 seconds to firing range," said Raz "... 10 seconds."

Argon opened fire at that point.

He knew he couldn't hit the fighters significantly at this range, but he had been a pilot once and he knew how they would react.

As he expected, half the pilots began to dip and dodge in evasive maneuvers, trying to avoid firepower that couldn't hit them anyways.

This meant that only half of the wing got off an accurate first shot before Fish's firepower joined Argons and scattered them completely.

"How are the shields?" asked Argon has he tracked his fire through a particularly thick pack.

"70%, it's a good thing you scattered that first wave," said Daishi, "just hold them off for another minute and we'll be out of here."

"Um, Argon?" said Fish, "what does that looked like to you?"

Fish was firing at a fighter that was simply flying at the Barkalounger without firing, not maneuvering or anything.

"Torpedo," breathed Argon, "take it down, take any one of them doing that down."

Fire lanced out from his turret, striking the incoming fighter across the nose just as the torpedo launched, detonating it right next to the fighter.

The ensuing explosion vaporized the fighter and scattered all the others in the area.

On the other side of the ship, Fish was doing the same thing, hitting fighters before they could launch deadly projectiles.

"And...  we're there!" said Daishi, slamming the hyperspace lever.

Argon fell back into his seat as the swirling blues of hyperspace washed over the viewport.

He sat there for a few moments before heading back to the bridge where the rest of the Wraiths and Daishi were waiting.

"Mission accomplished," said Raz with a grin, "we got him back."

  "I was wandering," started Raziel.

  "If you mind being even more ugly now i've sorted your nose out?" Kuroishi stared hard at Raziel.
  "No seriously. I've purchased a CRF-156T Raven fast courier. It's got some serious engine power on it." Raziel smiled.
