Introduction to Close Combat Operations Module 1A: The Killhouse

The squad formed up infront of the kill house, they stood proudly at attention equipped with their polished modified shock trooper armours and E-11C carbines. TK and Yillis walked in front of them without their helmets on. They looked at the squad and looked at each other, they nodded in the same time and placed their carbines on the nearby table.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Lancer Squad's first close combat operations training" Yillis informed as TK assembled the DC-17M Interchangeable Combat System behind him.
"Some Things Stormtroopers Can't Do: For Everything Else, There's Lancer Squad!" The squad instantly replied in unison.
"You may stand easy" Yillis informed.

The squad swiftly moved to the position of ease and took off their helmets.

"During this training we will be covering the following syllabus in order" Yillis informed.
"Dynamic entry, room clearing, neutralising suspects using lethal, non-lethal and close quarter combat methods" TK read out.
"First things first, we will be dividing the squad into two elements! The Red element lead by me and the Blue element is lead by PFC Shakey, am I understood so far?" Yillis asked.
"Yes Lance Corporal!" The squad replied in unison.
"Good, Sarge, would please read the placements?" Yillis asked.
"Thank you Lance Corporal, Red element is comprised of Lance Corporal Yillis, PFCs Jenabelle, KnightWind and Vint. Blue element is comprised of PFCs Shakey, Darr-Rann and Trooper512. PFC Hellra, you will be with me in White element, you will be acting as the squad's temporary main radio operator-engineer-everything else in between." TK informatively said.
"Thank you Sarge. Now, Red element will act as the main breaching force while Blue element comes in as rear guard, White element will act as forward admin and logistical element" Yillis explained.

------

Fifteen minutes have passed and the squad has gathered in their breaching positions. TK signalled Shakey to plant the explosives on the door. As Shakey wired the door, Yillis signalled his element to prepare to give covering fire. TK looked at the squad, everyone was armed with the standard gear except for Hellra who had to take on the burden of having to cary the omninode communications set. Yillis prepared a flashbang as Shakey gave the all clear. TK equipped his helmet and gave an order.

"Squad, breach, bang and clear! Go!"

Shakey turned to her Element. She had a smile on as she dished out orders.

"First we will begin with lethal attacks." Shakey said as she began to lead her troops down a hallway. She flipped a knife into her hand and peered around the corner. Sudden fire made her draw her head back. She held a finger to her lips and mouthed 'watch'. As the training droid rounded the corner Shakey jumped onto the ceiling. The droid leveled its at the others of her element.

"Drop your weapons and surrender" It said. Just then Shakey dropped from the ceiling and put a knife into the droids back. It deactivated immediantly. She flipped the knife back into her sleave and adressed the squad.

"Because we are close combat, we will not always have the luxiry of a clear shot. Some times treachery and stealth are the best way. Now set your blasters to stun. We don't want to have to pay for too many of these droids." She turned the corner and continued. They went through a maze of corridors, some gaurded others not. They came upon a blast door. Shakey turned to her team.

"I'm the only one with demolitions training so watch carefully. Set blasters to repeat and stun. Trooper when this door opens I want a flash in it imediantly. Darr, lay down cover fire immediantly." Shakey didn't waste time as she attached the explosive to the door. She and Darr leaned agains the left side as Trooper crouched next to it. The door exploded and five training droids turned. Trooper loosed the grenade and the fairly stupid droids all looked down at it. The blinding flash deactivated their optical sensors and Darr's fire took out all but one. There was one rather stupid droid running around in circles like a chicken with it's head cut off. As Shakey walked passed she knifed the droid in the main cords, shutting it off.

"Ok team, this is time for close combat. Knives and short Vibroblades only." She said drawing her blades and turning to the door ahead.

    Vint's vibrobayonet sliced through the arm of a droid. It's other arm, equipped with a vibro dagger took a swing at his head. He ducked and sliced into the droids legs. His blade went one leg but couldnt through the cords of the other. The droid, somehow still balancing, raised his arm to strike. Vint through all weight against the droid and they both fell to the floor. Knightwind came from behind and took off the droids head.
    "Thanks".
    "It's what im here to do". He replied. Jennebelle and Yillis were back to back tearing droids into a mess of wire's. Me and Knight proceeded into a neighboring room. There were five droids here, along with one L-8 officer droid. The officer droid had a vibroblade in each arm. Both I and knight adjusted our bayonets shock level up three points.The droids remained still, there "faces" staring coldly at us.
    "Circle them or go back by back". I asked. This was my first time fighting with any of the squad.
    "How about we charge them?" Knight seemed like a conservative fighter on the outside, or maybe he just knew when to take risks.
    I nodded. He went first, ramming his V-7 down the throat of a droid, then parrying with another one. I, behind him to the left, aimed to stab a droid, but he blocked and two of his pesky twins came beside me. Knight had slain his prey and was now beside me.
    In only a minute it was us against the L-8. But then Jenne and Yillis came into the room to help.
    "Your outnumbered". I said.
    "I dont think they're programmed for speach." Jenne pointed out.
    "I see".
    The L-8 turned its vibroblades power to full. One hit and you would be knocked unconscious for hours. He (if you could call a droid a he) took a slow step forward. We four all tensed our muscles. In a lightning fast move he threw one of his blades directly at Yillis. Yillis ducked as fast as he could but it still skimmed his armor and made a scorch mark. This droid was good. Yillis was one of the fasted, if not the fasted person in our sqaud. And this L-8 was just getting started. It charged at us, each step of his was three steps of one of us. When he got close enough, he jumped and spiraled through the air at us, his blade in front. We all jumped out of the way, and he did a roll into a crouch landing. Then he jumped again at us. This time we sliced randomly through the air. Only Knight hit, cutting through part of it's arm.
    TK and Hellra entered the room then. TK was fast and entered the fray chopping, at what seemed random places, but when he was done, we all saw the wreckage of the L-8.
    "What's now?" I asked Yillis. I hadnt nearly had enough

Hellra grumbled as Yillis led his element away.
Shakey left with her element to see what was going on in the opposite direction of what Yillis went.
"What is wrong?" asked TK, Hellra were still mumbling and grumbling.
"Nothing really if you don't count the omninode communications I am laden with" answered Hellra
"You have a problem with that PFC Hellra&Is it to heavy? " asked TK raising his one eyebrow; his voice suddenly rose a bit louder. Suddenly now with the rest of the squad gone, the hall was empty. His voice seemed to echo as it bounced of the walls travelling in multiple repeats to their ears. &
"Oh, oh not at all S-Sir" stammered Hellra embarrassed. Hellra continued with more confidence
"Before I joined the storm troopers, I used to hike a lot woth my father, so I am used to heavy burdens on my shoulders, it increased my stamina a lot too" said Hellra, she glanced at the room they were in. Most of walls were clean. Hellra walked over to the one wall to inspect it more in detail. They were definitely not the first group who have practised here. Small scorch marks littered the wall accompanied by a few dents and scratches.

"So what is the white element? asked Hellra as she turned back to TK who were on the floor looking at a map of the building. TK looked up and opened his mouth, however he was interrupted by a scream. It sounded like a battle cry.
Both Hellra and TK glanced the direction the scream emitted from.
"It sounded like Trooper512's," said TK
"I do feel sorry for that poor droid" said Hellra dryly.
"I am going to check if everything is okay anyway, wait here," commanded TK. He sprinted out of the room in the direction of the scream.
"Great, just great" mumbled Hellra, as she made a move to take her burden of her shoulders, she tensed when she heard a sound, was it from the back, or in front?

She continued as if she heard nothing, with a dull thud the omninode communications set hit the floor. Still bent Hellra carefully slipped her one of her Ryyk kerathorr blades in her right hand. Maybe she heard the wind, maybe it was just instinct but in a in a swift movement she turned around blocking as an E-11 blaster rifle was about to make contact with her head. Her blade ripped through the blaster right through the hand that held it. Hellra's eyes travelled from the hand that gripped the blaster to the owner of the hand.

Great a droid, thought Hellra, the droid took a calculating step backwards. He raised his remaining hand, which held another E-11 riffle. Hellra ducked out of the way. The rifle ripped the omninode communications set apart. Hellra fiddled with her belt, searching for her throwing fly high throwing blades, she found it luckily, and with one aim she threw it towards the droid. She didn't aim well enough as it barely touched his shoulder. With her left arm she took another aim as the droid turned his riffle towards her. It hit his remaining hand, knocking the blaster out of his hand.
He ignored it as the blaster hit the floor; he walked with an almost fluid step towards her.

This isn't a normal droid, thought or rather flashed the thought across Hellra's mind.
He raised his one arm and made grab for Hellra's throat. His steel like grip closed around it, suffocating Hellra, she still had her throwing knifes in her hand. She slashed where she thought his eyes were in attempt to get rid of him. It did, he stumbled back releasing his grip lightly, Hellra quickly drove her ryyk blade into his torso shutting him down.

She slumped to the wall next to her panting heavily, taking deep breathes. She closed her eyes, dropping her guard. Then suddenly she heard something yet again. Hellra only saw the droid get up again, his hand closed around one the blasters she knocked out of his hand. Just as fast as he got up, he sunk to the ground. Shakey appeared at the doorway with her element and TK at her side.

"Yet another example of a lethal attack" said Shakey as she walked over the droid and grabbed her knife from its back ripping more wires, causing a electronic bolts flashing blue for a few seconds , TK bent over the droid.
"We are not suppose to have this droid on our training level" said TK.
"PFC Hellra where is the com. set?" asked Shakey noticing Hellra didn't have it on her back.
Hellra, still breathing heavily pointed to the floor. Shakey stared at where Hellra was pointing.
"That is what's left?" asked TK surprised.
"Yes, bloody droid, shot it, thanks Shakey, I shouldn't have dropped my guard" said Hellra.
"You did good for a beginner, I mean this is one of the higher level droids, but how it got here..that is another story" said Shakey

"PFC Hellra, that was your responsibility, not only how to work with it, but also guard it, what if this happened on a real mission" said TK disappointedly.
Hellra sighed, disappointed with her self, but with a tad speck of anger.
"Sir, it was either that or my life!"  Replied Hellra as she jumped from her sitting position on the floor.
TK shook his head as he lifted his wrist to his mouth.
"This is Sergeant TK from Kill house" said TK to the small communication set on his wrist.
"Base?" asked TK after several seconds.
"Base?" asked TK again, he waited several seconds, and he peered closer to the small screen.
"We don't have any communication at all with them, PFC Hellra try fixing what is left of the com. set" commanded TK
"Yes Sir&by the way, what happened when you left" asked Hellra.
"Trooper512 got carried away, nice move anyway PFC Trooper512" said Shakey.
TK took his maps out again, this time with his data pad.
"There is something weird going on guys" said TK after a while as he stared at the now three dimensional map.
"All the exits are closed, we don"t have a way out of here unless we blast our way&. damn the outer walls might be to strong" said TK worriedly.
"So we are trpped in this training facilty with no comunication with the base, and there are higher level droids running around?" asked Trooper512
Hellra glanced up from where she was working on the com. set.
"That isn't that bad, we are getting more than we bargained for, lets look at the bright side, we are getting more training" Hellra quickly got to work as TK shot her a warning glance.
"What about the first opening we blew up?" asked Shakey.
"No won't work" said TK, he pointed to the blue three dimensional map of the building.
"The outher rim of the building is sealed, it seems they upgraded the system, the building has constant droids who repair the damage caused in training, there must be some malfuntion at the base, or someone is trying to kill, which is most unlikely though"
"What is taking Yillis so long?" asked Darr-Rann as he glanced at the door where Yillis and his element made no sign off showing up.

OCC: finally found post, been reading, you guys are doing a pretty good acting on my character, will post now.

"So, Yillis, sir, when are you guys going to tell me what the heck is going on." Jenny said, nervously, after confidently killing the droids without any hesitation, she felt she was ready for what was ahead although she wasn't ready for what their response might be.

"Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force. "

    We stepped into a hallway, Tk in the lead; Hellra and Vint in the rear. Nothing seemed out of place. But then again, i'd never been here when stuff was in place.

    "A storm on this planet could disable our transport." Shakey said. We turned to the right, into a wider hall. A voice came from ahead, we couldnt hear what it said. Tk motioned to be quiet. We tip toed forward.

    "Four cup's. Three.....Jikken....bzzzzz." It was a droid's voice. Tk looked around the corner into the room. It was a kitcheon, the droid stood, walking in circles muttering to it self. Yillis shot it down. It gave a last "bzzzooopoozz" as it collapsed. Several rat's were wandering the room, nibbling a food.

    "More blood." Knightwind said, bent down over the counter. Shakey examined it.

    "Not human...beyond that im not sure what it is."

    "Back into the hall everyone, and stay together." Tk said. "wait....hold that. Let's spread out from here. Hellra, Vint, stay here." I and Hellra sat down on a rusted bench. The rest of the squad left.
   
    "Why's there a kitcheon in a training center?" I asked.

    "Dont know. I dont think it was made originally for training. I wonder what it was..."

    "Dont know...this place gives me the creeps."

    There was a sound from a large cabinent. I stood up and drew out my gun, Hellra did the same. The cabinent shook, then the door fell open. A very large rat came out.

    "Just a rat..." Hellra said.

    "Yeah." We sat back down.

"What the---!"

A black darkness surrounded Vint and Hellra. The lights just went out. Hellra quickly took off her glasses as they just added extra darkness. She sighed in relief as the room came back in focus to her eyes.
"Damn, let me get my flash light"
"Don't shine it in my eyes, I don't have my glasses on"
Vint quickly took off his small backpack and started searching furiously through it.
"Dammit, if I could just see!" exclaimed Vint frustrated. He searched for a few more seconds before he found it. A sharp beam lighted the wall across them.
"Vint, we don't know how long we are going to be here, I can see fine. We might want to spare the cells of the flashlight" said Hellra.
"Suppose you are right" said Vint as he switched of the light.
"What do you think is happening with the other guys?" asked Hellra, she was leaning against the wall.
"I don't know, but I hope they are going to be fine," said Vint as he sat on the bench again.

"Arg, Dammit!" yelled Yillis out, frustrated, as the lights went off.
"These droids knows what they are doing," pondered Knightwind.
"I mean, without light we cannot see, they have radar screens to see," said Knightwind again.
Yillis grabbed his flashlight from his back and flicked it on.
They sprinted across the many corridors and halls to reach Hellra and Vint.
Knightwind suddenly felt him self-making connection with the ground in a rather hurtful manner. He glared at Yillis who was also down, but he wasn't looking at her at all. He had his rifle out aiming at something. She traced his gaze to a droid.

"You heard that?" asked Hellra,
"Yes, I did..what do you make of it?" asked Vint.. He was still sitting on the bech, while Hellra sat on the floor. Vint has gotten more used to the darkness now.
"They met some droids" answered Hellra.
"Wow, you know, that is so abvious" said Vint back sarcastically.
"This, is getting boring," said Hellra, jumping up.
"I know" answered Vint.
"You know, I think it is better if we stand ready with our weapons" suggested Vint, he grabbed his blaster rifle and stood up.
"You are right," said Hellra, she secured her Ryyk blades back to her belt and grabbed her rifle. They heard around of blasts going off. Vint glanced at Hellra, without even discussing the consequences the sprinted out of the kichen to the sound.

Yillis could only rely on his instinct shooting through the darkness to the droid. The flashlight laid on the floor out of reach.
He heard the droid hit the floor, and smirked.
He quickly jumped to his feet pulling Knightwind up.
A light fell in his eyes blinding him for a few seconds
"Nice shot Vint"
"Thanks"
Looked like you guys need some help," said Hellra as she picked up the flashlight on the ground, she handed it to Knightwind.
"Hellra you walk in front, you seem to have the best eye sight at this moment" commanded Yillis.
The group quickly disappeared in the darkness to find TK.

    At that time, Yillis and his element were on their way back to meet up with the others. As they walked by he heard the sound of someone running. Turning the corner, he was just in time to see people enter a room. "Damn!" He thought in frustration, "Darr and Jen are in there!" He signaled to the others and rushed to the door.

    Darr-Rann kneeled by the injured man, trying desperately to keep him alive. Jennabelle kneeled to examine the situation. "Dammit, he's not going to last long. Common you guys, we need a med team!" He started to turn to reach for more supplies from a medkit, but suddenly he felt a metal rim tap the back of his head. "Put your hands were you can see them." He and Jen turned to face five men, all armed with disrupter rifles. "Leave him, go stand over there." He gestured with his gun, "Drop your weapons." They complied, knowing it would be useless to try to avoid disrupter fire at that close range. They were hostages.

    Trooper shoved Shakey aside, pointing his Carbine at their prisoner and pushing him back to the wall. TK looked disappointedly at Shakey. "We need him alive. That little outburst directly Disobeyed  my orders, and could have cost us important  information." Shakey looked to the ground in shame. "Sorry, it wont happen again." TK turned to the hostage. "Now, lets get some information..."

    Knightwind readied the flash-bang grenade, waiting for Yillis' command. "Three..." The ASL muttered. "Two... One... NOW!" Knightwind threw the grenade in the room, momentarily turning away to avoid the flash. "Son of a..." They could hear Darr-Rann call out. Quickly Hellra sprayed stun fire into the room, not wanting to accidentally hit Jennabelle or Darr-Rann with lethal fire. Quickly it was over, all five of the attackers on the ground. Darr-Rann had a hand covering his left eye, swearing at rapid speed. They quickly ran up to him. "Are you okay?" Yillis asked. "My #%&$ing implant!" another string of curses, he turned to Knightwind. "You threw that too close to me, without my helmet on." Vint enquired quickly. "What implant?" Darr-Rann took the hand off his eye, showing them the scar across the side of it. "When I got this cut from that republic bastard, it partially ruined this eye." He covered it again. "My fa..." He sighed. "A man I knew payed expensively for it to be repaired. Normally my helmet protects me from flashbangs at close range, but I wasn't wearing it." He walked over to find his helmet. reaching around in frustration. "The grenade was too close and it damaged the implant somehow." Knightwind apologetically  walked over and helped him. "Sorry..." Darr-Rann cut him off. "Its okay, stings like hell though." They walked over to the prisoners, disarmed them, then left the room. Locking the door, they started to proceed towards were TK and his element were located. Suddenly they heard a Disrupter rifle fire out, and a yell that sounded like TK's Yillis turned quickly to face them and then started running. "Lets go!"

TRP/PFC Darr-Rann/2SQD/2PLT/1COM/1RGT/1BAT/VEA/VE/Tadath [LoR]

The Vast Empire's First Medic. (I dont think there is any others, either).

Yillis and his elements stormed in the room where they heard TK's yell.
Hellra and Knightwind didn't even see what was going before Yillis gripped one of his vibroblades and threw it with accuracy towards the man's hand.
The man hissed in pain as he scrambled to the back wall, curling his injured arm in his other arm.
TK were panting heavily. He was dropping on his knees gasping now for breath.
"Darr...someone...hand" gasped TK he was shaking a bit. He bought his hand up.
Through his glove trickled a crimson river dripping to the floor forming a small puddle. Tk turned his hand; the edge of an object could be seen sticking out of his hand. a hole went right through it. The edges of the hole through the glove were burned. The man TK has been questioning drove a vibroblade through his hand. And it was still there.
Darr-Rann didn't know what to do. His loyalties were with his Squad leader but also with this dying man. The Squad noticed Darr-Rann's hesitation. Knightwind and Hellra stepped forward and took hold of TK's arm firmly grabbing it. Trooper512 and Shakey raised their rifles to the man who stabbed TK as a warning while they waited. Yillis who wasn't so distracted by the blood that seemed to pour from his hand grabbed TK's hand and pulled the vibroblade out. The blood seemed now worse than ever.

Hellra peered closely to the wound. She gasped, the Vibro blade didn't only went through TK's hand, the man also twisted it, crushing part of TK's bones and slicing his veins.
"Yillis, get something to stop the blood," said Knighwind. With the blade out Hellra and Knightwind released their grip on TK's arm. But Hellra still held suspended for Yillis to bound TK's hand.


Yillis rummaged through his back searching franticly for a piece of cloth. Severe blood loss could end TK's life.

Shakey stationed herself with the man, her rifle never away from his head. She ordered Trooper512and Vint to guard the door; this man's men would try to take hostage again.

Darr-Rann was also not coping so well. As he kept checking the man"s pulse it seemed to grow fainter and fainter.
"Sir?" asked Darr-Rann panicky, he didn't want to lose him yet.
"Don't...do...the base...East..forty...." The man's attempts at talking were futile.
Darr-Rann checked his pulse again. It was dead. Darr_rann attempted to try and push some life back into him when Jennabelle stopped him.
"What!" snapped Darr-Rann
"He will only suffer more if he is alive" said Jennabelle.
The young medic sighed in desperation. It was to late to save this man. A sudden yelp distracted him. He saw Yillis attempting to wrap a cloth around TK's hand.
"Stop!, that will worsen it' Darr-Rann forgot instantly about the man that just died. He pulled Yillis hand away from TK, were still suspending TK's arm.
Darr-Rann took TK's hand gently. He inspected it closely.
Yillis didn't waste his time planning.
"Jenn, KW stand guard with Trooper512. Without Darr-Rann asking him, he strode over to the dead man's side and grabbed Darr-Rann's medic bag.

TK winced silently as Darr-Rann injected him right above his wrist. He felt the intense pain that burned in his hand numbing until he could feel nothing. Hellra released his arm and immediately joined Trooper512, Jennabelle and Knightwind to stand guard.

Darr-Rann was still busy with his hand when TK spoke up.
"Why are you here?"
The man snorted, Shakey made a move to hit him. He tried to scramble away further from her but only stumbled as the pain in his arm over took him.
The sound of blasts filled the air along with smoke.
Shakey looked up for a split second at the sound instinctively. The man obviously tried to cease this opportunity to escape. On all fours he crept away from, his glanced furiously through he smoke around him, he suddenly felt something cool and smooth make contact with his forehead.. He gazed up and saw the murderous look in Yillis eyes. It took all Yillis's will power not kill the man in front of him.

"Vint, do you have some of the sleeping gas!" yelled Hellra to Vint.
He smirked and nodded, silently he pointed to Jennabelle and Knightwind who were furiously fighting the men and droids.
"Jenn, KW, don't breath the gas!" yelled Hellra to them. They looked at her confused for a few seconds. Hellra made a sleeping motion with her hands.
Trooper512 threw the sleeping grenade in the midst of the droid and men. The gas started to fill the hall outside the room where TK and th rest were quickly. Hellra, ducked into the room for a few seconds before continuing her assault on the enemy. The blasts continued though it was much less now. After a while it completely stopped. Hellra stepped out from behind the wall she was hiding to shoot. Slowly the other also stepped out.
"Vint how long will these blokes sleep?" asked Trooper512.
"A hour at least" answered Vint.
"Well we better make sure they don't move at. Sleeping or not" said Knighwind. He rushed back inside the room only to appear a few seconds later with thin chords in his hand.
"Good idea" said Hellra grabbing one from Knighwind. They quickly bounded the men. Vint and Trooper512 made it their job to walk through the destroyed droids and shoot if one was still active.
"Strange, I don't recognise their uniforms" said Knightwind noticing their grey uniforms.

Um, Sergeant, hate to tell you this, but it looks like you are going to lose this hand," said Darr-Rann seriously. TK didn't have time to think about it as his Squad came back.
"We should get out of here," said Jennabelle
"I have a feeling that isn't all"
TK took command.
"Squad move to you element leader now, lets just reorganize, before making plans" The Squad quickly moved to their respective leaders, Yillis and Shakey.
"Who are you?" asked TK now towards the whimpering man at the wall.
He looked wild, he had a grey uniform that were ripped and bloodied. His wide eyes narrowed, his thin and pale lips stretched to a smile. The smile turned to laughter, a mad laughter.
"It seems he is mad Sergeant," whispered Hellra to TK
Before TK could continue his questioning an explosion went off. With instinct everyone glanced at the door. The man grabbed the pistol that hung on Yillis belt at his hip, and backed off to the wall. Hellra glanced worriedly at the door. Everyone's rifles were pointed the man again.
"I asked you a question" said TK,
"Jex" answered the man slowly&.
"Jex,, where are you from, who sent you to kill us?" asked Yil-lis gruffly.
"I am loyal to my superiors" said Jex, again, it looked like those words gave him strength, and he pointed the pistol at Yillis who was nearest.
"You can't shoot without getting killed Jex" said Yillis, he pointed to the rifles that were aimed at Jex.
"No trooper will kill me," said Jex, he lifted the pistol away from Yillis.
"See, that isn't so ha---" A loud bang went of, Jex slumped top the ground, blood covered the ground at his face.
"He shot himself, he bloody shot himself" whispered Hellra, another explosion went off this time nearer to them.
"Okay Troops, stay in your elements, and stick with your leader" commanded TK.
"Good, grief, luck isn't on our side today is it?" said Hellra gazing to the door.

As the two active elements walked away in separate directions TK and Hellra stayed back. TK pulled out a folded piece of paper.

"What's that Sarge?" Hellra curiously asked.
"A map...." TK answered with a tone of pain in between his words.
"A map!? why didn't you tell us that you have a map!?" Hellra blurted out.
"...Because it's crap... Besides, this map doesn't even make sense..." TK replied as he studied the map.

The two studied the map carefully in tried to orientate themselves.

Meanwhile Red Element searched through the dark corridors of the Kill house, Yillis was behind and acted as rear guard.

"Hmm, did anyone by any chance marked the rooms that we cleared?" Vint asked.
"Nope..." Jennabelle replied.
"This is going nowhere is it?" Knightwind asked.
"Shut up guys..." Yillis commanded.
"Aye-aye Lance Corporal" The element replied in unison.

As Red Element searched on, White Element studied the map carefully. TK rotated the map in every angle and tried to orientate himself while Hellra attempted to contact HQ with her wrist com. Out of frustration, TK crumpled the map and threw it away. Hellra walked towards the map to pick it up. "Don't bother..." TK muttered. Hellra looked at him with a confused  look. "It's the wrong map..." TK continued. TK looked around the room and whispered to himself "Next time, I'll study the maps before I even plan a mission...". As TK tried to retrace his steps, Hellra looked at him. TK looked back, "What is it?" He asked. "Your hand... It's bleeding again..." She replied.

The droid continued his attack on Hellra. Hellra desperatly tried to think of any quick plan to get rid of the droid. They were now circling each other; once again Hellra glanced at TK.
Through the dark she could see him in a kneeled position holding his arm.

She grabbed her blaster pistol from the holster that hung at her hip. She aimed at the droids hand that held the vibroblade. The blast didn't affect him at all. Hellra's eyes widened slightly at this.
"Crap....TK!" called Hellra out to the Squad leader who was getting up from the floor at her side.
"Hellra, distract him!" ordered TK, the pain in his arm momentarily forgotten. He has gotten used to the dark to see enought to know where what was.
Hellra did as she was ordered, but the only question was how? She glanced furiously around the room desperate for ideas. Then it hit her. Do something the droid wouldn't expect her to do.

She charged straight to the droid. It seemed the droid got surprised at the unpecting run she took at him. He lifted his vibroblade, waiting for her to run into it. The droid parted his robotic wires and metal that was a knee to gain more grip on the ground. Hellra neared him at an alarming speed. She was a meter away from him, when she ducked through his legs. She rolled onto her feet grabbing her blaster in her left arm with a vibroblade in the other.

Vint fired off a few warning shots with his blaster pistol at the man's nearing feet, making the man stop in his tracks.
"You will get killed, death is your only remaning option" said the man. Jennabelle lifted her flashlight into his eyes to get a better look. It seemed like he hadn't had sleep in several days. Like Jex his hair was haning wildly around. His one eye was a fiery blue while the other one was white with no emotion in it. Above his white came a scar that traced over his eye lids.

"The only one who won't leave alive is you," said Yillis. Jennabelle, Knightwind and Vint glared at the man.
Yillid eyes narrowed, maybe because it was so dark or just his suspicions of the man im front of him growing.
"You really think so?" sneered the man. He stopped twirling his vibroblades.
"Do you know someone named Jex?" asked Yillis.
The man 's eyes widened slightly.
"Why would I know?" answered the man back
"Well, Jex said some interesting stuff," said Yillis. Vint glanced at Yillis
What are you up to Yill? Thought Vint, he distractedly looked down at his wristwatch.
"Vint, we need back up!" came TK's voice over the small speakers. Luckily the man in front of them was to distract to hear.
"What is wrong sarge?" asked Vint whispering
"Droids, I can't he----"
"Sarge?&Sarge?" asked Vint worriedly
He waited for a few seconds
"Tell Yill we need some help, Shakey trapped," said TK

"Intresting stuff you say" the man's posture shrunk a bit.
"Code alpha Yillis" said Vint suddenly,
"Vint, get rid of code alpha" said Yillis never taking his eyes off the man.
Vint soundlessly left the room. Code alpha was a distress signal, which meant help was needed by an group.
"Jex has always been a traitor, before he joined the us, he always....." the man's voice drifted to silence again.
"Right....." said Yillis unfazed.
"nevermind, I will not fail" the man started twirling his vibroblades again.
He took one step closer to them; Yillis stood his ground, his fingers fiddling unnoticed around the pistol in holster.
"So what were you gonna do, try and kill us Squad by Squad avoiding a full scale war?" asked Yillis sarcastically. The man smirked&
"Something in that line, you know how terrible accidents can be, especially in training, one's hand might just slip over the controls releasing stronger droids, and you know since you are a new inexpercianced squad why not start with you?"
Yillis smirked back in return; he pulled his pistol out in a flash and shot in the direction he saw the man's shadow move.
"Good shot Yill" said Jennabelle, she walked closer to inspect the fallen man, her flashlight danced across the celling. Yillis shot him with a sleeping dart.
"Really, why do they use vibroblades when pistols can do the job just as easily" said Knighwind, she bound the man while Yillis secured a small tracker device in the inner rim of his sleeves.
"What about Hellra and TK, they sent a code alpha a few minutes ago?" asked Jennabelle.


Hellra threw the vibroblade at his back hoping it wouldn't miss like last time. It struck the droid... The vibroblade didn't go in very deep. But it was weakening or rather hindering the droid in the destroying them. The droid turned at her raising his blaster-merged hand to shoot her. He paused as a few electric bolts could be seen from his back. TK threw his vibro also at the droid's back. Luckily he could see the small green and red light blinking the whole time. The droid turned to TK, with his back fully open Hellra started blasting it with the blaster pistol in her hand. Her other hand was searching for any blades in her belt.
The droids turned back to her this time taking a step forward. He may be confused, but the vibroblade in his back were no distraction to him at all. TK attempted to blast his back again. The droid however didn't turn to him. It also seems the burst of energy TK had left him as he started feeling the pain at his wrist again. Hellra glanced worriedly to him then back to the droid.

Hellra studied the droid's frame. He had long arms and legs with almost no inner body. He seemed to have no faults in his design. Hellra dumbly searched her belt still looking at the droid hoping to find something that will help her. Her hand rounded around an object.
"Of course" whispered Hellra. She had found an EMP grenade. It fuses circuitry on electronics within a fifteen-meter diameter of the blast. And well the droid was electronics wasn't he?  How or why she had the grenade she didn't know. She must have accidentally switched it with one of her other.
Hellra gripped the grenade firmly in her hand. She gazed at the droid that neared her step for step. She wanted to activate the grenade but the fear of accidentally injuring TK was a threat. Anything could happen. The blast could be strong enough to make the room cave in maybe, or make the droid stumble back and fall on top of TK.

TK ignored the throbbing pain in his arm. He was feeling really dizzy and the world was spinning. He shook his head. He gazed up to Hellra, she was trapped against the wall with no way out. He saw her hand fiddle with something. The world was unfocussed, but it looked like she was holding a grenade in her hand&

Vint stormed in the room, he quickly scanned the situation. He had his flashlight on. Hellra was trapped against the wall, with TK to weak from blood loss to help.
"Vint!" yelled Hellra relieved. Vint wasn't looking at her; he gazed at the droid in front of him. He noticed the two vibroblades sticking from his back.
Vint quickly got his heavy blaster rifle that hung on his back. He stood in front of TK and took aim.
The blast was strong enough to make the droid stumble, and damage the shell covering his insides. He turned around to find the new source that almost bought him down.
Hellra ceased this opportunity to escape from the wall, as Vint shot another blast at the droid.
"Vint guess what grenade is this" said Hellra smugly bringing it up close to her face.
"What?" asked Vint, he grabbed TK's fully limbed arm and slunged it over his own shoulder.
"An EMP" replied Hellra, she grabbed TK's back he dropped, with the crumpled map next to it.
"Ready when you are Vint" said Hellra, she had the grenade in her hand, ready to activate it at any sign of confirmation.
"Vint dragged half carried Tk out of the room. He came back in with his heavy blaster rifle at aim. The droid have seemed to recover from the attacks Vint gave him earlier. Hellra activated the grenade and threw it at the droid.

Blue bolts flashed across the room. Long shadows were cast behind Hellra and Vint..  Hellra held her hand over her eyes to shield it from the light that was created. Vint stood soundlessly next her, his rifle at aim ready to blast the droid if he survived the grenade. The bolts died down. The air was thick with tension. If the droid survived, then they were dead.

"Backup, we need backup up now!" came Trooper512'voice.
Yillis glanced at his com. watch.
"Backup on their way"
"Lets move guys," ordered Yillis hastily.
Yillis traced from where the backup was requested. He could barely see through the broken screen. He tried checking the time. It was a futile attempt.
He didn't know how long they have been in there, but a few hours could have passed now.
His easy pace turned to a jog. They rounded a corner. The faint sound of blasts could be heard, though it was only an echo. His jog turned to a full sprint.
Knightwind and Jennabelle kept their pace up with him. They came to an abrupt halt, almost crashing into Yillis. Yillis however didn't notice that, his eyes were trained on the small war that raged in front him. The blue element was doing badly. They used from the rubble that fell from the blast when Darr-Rann activated the mine as protection. Shakey was laying behind one of the bigger pieces of rubble shooting to the droids. Darr-Rann's one knee was propped up, his arms leaning on it, gaining him more grip and aim, he sat behind of the pieces of rubble, it wasn't much defence really.  Trooper512 was standing behind a wall that ended, shooting with a hand blaster. His right arm hand limply at his side.
The room had a red glow from the few flares that were thrown at random points providing enough light for them to see, though just barley.
Yillis squinted his eyes to see across the hall. Relieve coursed through him when he saw the solution. They were in a three-way hall. He was standing in the one way, the other was blocked and the droids came from the other. He wondered why Shakey and element didn't think of this.

Where do you suppose Yillis and Shakey is?" asked Hellra tiredly.
They destroyed the droid a few minutes ago, and were now laden with the problem of TK's arm. He was unconscious unfortunately. So they had to carry him between them. Hellra gloves were soaked with blood. Her face was barely recognizable through the dirst that covered it. Vint was now better off, his armour was scorched on several placed.

"Vint, do you think we can get out the same way we did earlier?" suggested Hellra.
Vint stopped; he was carrying TK by his one arm. TK was quite heavy with all his armour. They tied a piece of cloth around the wound, at his wrist.
"We could try, I don't know if the roof will be weak enough though," answered Vint, thoughtfully.
"It won't hurt to try, but what about TK?"
"We can hoist him up, I mean it is only his arm that is injured," answered Vint, he was looking at the ceiling. His flashlight was dimming showing how spent the batteries were.
"You are right, and the important thing is to get TK out of here, we will have the medical supplies at the vehicle" said Hellra.
"Lets just get in a room, we don't know who can come here," said Hellra, Vint agreed wordlessly. They quickly got TK in a room and closed the door.

Yillis quickly told Knightwind and Jennabelle his plans. They nodded in agreement.
"Shakey, get over here, I am going to block the droid's way with a explosive" shouted Yillis through the cross fire.
Shakey's ears picked up the faint shouting through the blasts. She glanced at Yillis confusedly. Darr-Rann who saw Yillis arrive luckily made out most of the words. He motioned with his hands what was going to happen.
"Jen, KW keep the droids at bay!" ordered Yillis sharply. He slung his backpack from his shoulder. He quickly opened one of the side pockets and got a detonator explosive from it.
"One won't be enough, TK said they enforced the walls" said Jennabelle, she was still shooting, though much slower as she was talking to Yillis.

Yillis realised she was right; the only flaw in his plan, maybe that;s why blue couldn't do it. Luckily the droids haven't spotted them their radars only expanded to a five-meter radius. Yillis gazed at the ceiling. Three sets of pipes lined with each other and raced through the hall. They were extremely thin. Yillis couldn't see what type of metal the pipes were made, only one way to find out. He jumped up and grabbed the pipes barely with his fingers. Luckily due to his training they were strong enough to hoist him self a bit more. He felt the pipes shift, the pipes wasn't secured to the ceiling entirely, it hung a few inches below the ceilings.
Enough for something to slid on something on them. He gripped his hold onto the pipes firmly with his right arm, as his left hand reached into out to Knighwind.
"KW pass the explosive!"

Knightwind searched a few split seconds before Yillis felt a weight in his hand. He placed it carefully in the middle on the pipes. He just hoped the way to across the hall was clear; no obstacle should blockade the explosive. His arms started cramping but he ignored it as he activated the explosive. With a swift motion he pushed it down the pipes. Yillis silently prayed, he landed with a thud on the ground.

Shakey, Darr-Rann and Trooper512 have slowly made their way to them. Yillis tried to listen to the explosive sliding down with pipes. He couldn't hear anything through the battle, and could only wait for the explosion.

Vint quickly searched his belt for some grenades. He looked at the grenade, then at the roof.
"We are not the other's length, we are to short to reach the ceiling, even by jumping" said Vint.
"You mean, the ceiling is to high to reach, if you are looking for the definition of short, it is standing right in front of you" grumbled Hellra feeling very small suddenly.
"Aw, come on Hellra you are not that short," protested Vint snickering.
Hellra glared at him, the she smiled. She started laughing slightly before she regained her composure.
They looked around the small room, for anything that might help them.
The spotted a small table standing in a near corner beside a chair.
"What do you suppose a chair and a table is doing in a training facility?" asked Hellra amused.
"Dunno, but it is saving our live at the moment" said Vint seriously. He walked over and dragged the table over to the middle of the room.
Hellra dragged TK to far corner of the room.
"Damn, TK you are heavy," said Hellra..
"He would get hurt you know," said Vint.
"I know, there is chance, but we need speed now" replied Hellra. Vint climbed on the table and stuck the detonator to the roof. He activated it, and then jumped off the table, he hesitated for a split second and started dragging the table to TK. He slammed it on its side to cover TK. Hellra and Vint both quickly duck on instinct behind the small table. When the dust started settling Hellra stood up, she walked around to inspect the table. She gulped.
"Very good idea with the table Vint" said Hellra, Pieces of sharp rubble and metal were sticking out of the table.
Vint, raised an eyebrow at her standing next to her.
"Should I remind him how a table saved his life?" asked Vint, not sure if he should be amused or angry at Hellra's reckless antics.
"Lets get him out of here" said Hellra quickly; she turned around to inspect the gap in the ceiling. She winced at the sudden light. She quickly slipped her glasses back on.

"I am worried about the other guys," said Vint,
"I know what you mean, contact Yillis and Shakey, my com. watch is damaged.
"Yillis, we are leaving through the roof, Sergeant TK needs med" reported Vint.
He waited a few seconds before Yillis replied.
"Proceed as planned Vint, we are going to do the same, meet us on the roof" Vint glanced up at Hellra, this was the first time they were operating without a leader, or with an immobile leader. Teamwork is essential.

"Hmm, where am I?' came a mumbled voice from behind the table.
Hellra and Vint looked at TK who sat upright. He was a deathly pale, his armour were smeared with blood that already dried.
"Welcome to the world of the living TK" said Hellra cheerily, she searched for hoisting chords, for TK.
"He stood up shakily, and joined Vint, he glanced at the table behind him and looked at Vint"
"Don't ask" said Hellra quickly; she already messed up enough today as it was.
"Hellra, I may have lost my hand in this training, but that doesn't mean I am immobile," said TK
"Did you lose your hand literally and figuratively or just literally? Asked Hellra grinning as she unwinds the chord.
"Don't start with that Hell, I wasn't expecting a kill the lancer squad plot you know" said TK.
Vint, got the table under the gap. The moonlight fell through diagonally lighting the dust particles that danced around the room. They have been a few hours in the kill house already now.
He climbed on.
"Okay who first?" asked Vint.
"Ladies first" said TK standing aside bowing at her.
"TK is injured," replied Hellra.
"So?" augmented TK lazily back to her. He was feeling dizzy again.
"So what if I am a lady? That doesn't mean you guys should treat me differently" fought Hellra back.
"Okay, how about smallest first?" asked Vint teasingly. Hellra glared at him.
Suddenly the sound of metal could be heard creating steps on the tile floor in the hall. Gone was the relaxed comical air, tension mounted again.
"Okay, Hellra get through the roof first, then you can help TK up," said Vint, he held his hand out to her. He cupped his hands for her to step on.
"Vint, you know the short issue I have?" Hellra looked Vint
The sound of the droid neared, Hellra glanced worriedly at the door.
"Yeah?" asked Vint,
Hellra pointed to the roof, amd then to her self.
"This is where the issue is critical, I am to short, even if you boost me up"
Vint glanced at the gap where nature was calling them.
"I will lift my hands higher, it means you will have a bit of a jump," said Vint hastily.
Hellra stepped onto Vint's cupped hands, just as she stepped he boosted her up. She bended to gain momentum, in a few seconds Hellra found her self on top of the roof. The wind breezed on Hellra's face.

She however didn't notice this. Her long fringe kept falling in her face as she bent down to the gap. She wiped the hair out her face. TK's hand appeared above the gap, Hellra grabbed it and pulled him, his injured arm shot instinctively out to the edge to hoist himself. He winced in slight pain when his injured arm connected with the jagged edges.
Finaly TK was out, Hellra could hear beneath someone trying to get in the room with violence.
"Jump!" ordered Hellra to Vint. He jumped and grabbed the edges. Hellra gripped his other hand and started pulling him up. The jagged edges cut through his gloves slicing in his bare hands. Blasts sounded, it barely missed Vint's legs.

Hellra slumped back on her back panting. TK stood up; he had a serious expression on his face.
Vint glanced down in the gap for a split second, he duck back when another blast made its way upwards in the heavens.
Hellra stood up; she wiped the hair out her face again.
"Oh bugger" she opened her backpack and pulled a black cloth out, expertly she tied it on her head keeping the hair out her face.
"Lets go, when Hellra is finished with accessories and makeup," ordered TK
"It's called an Bandanna Sarge and yes lets go," grumbled Hellra.
They were walking silently on the roof for a few minutes. A mist gathered in that few minutes. A light rain started, soon turning to a heavy shower, cleaning or well trying to clean the dirt from their faces and armour.
Thunder rolled, the black clouds opened for a few seconds showing the stars that graced the heaven. A white blinding flash followed. A blue knife sliced through the air, striking a lone tree in the field near them.
"You guys hear that?" asked Hellra.
Vint and TK stopped and listened for a few seconds, faint voices could be heard through the heavy rain.
"Its sounds like Yillis and Shakey, the other is with them I guess, what do you think Sergeant....Sergeant?" Vint glanced at where TK should stand. Nothing. He glanced down. TK laid in a crumpled form at his feet. It looks like he was still conscious but barely...

Hellra blacked out as she hit the floor underneath her.
It must have been a few minutes later when she woke up with blasts surrounding her. Her body felt numb, must be of shock, and her head was hazy. Whoever was fighting didn't know she was trapped under the rubble. Even though she couldn't feel she tried to move and struggled against the heavy rubble on her. She had to help her team. Her efforts only lead her to black out again.

"Yillis, behind you!" Yillis, didn't have to turn around to know what it is. He ducked as a rifle came down. He rolled away. He swiftly came to his feet and jumped to Knighwind's side. The roof just caved in, the droids tried to shoot at them trhough the ceiling.
"Thanks KW" he stood next to him.
Vint was trapped under a large boulder with an unconscious TK, while Darr-Rann tried to move it. Shakey and Jennabelle desperately tried to keep a droid at bay in hopes he wouldn't shoot at Vint, and TK.
"KW, go help Vint!" ordered Yillis. The droid standing in front of him was severly damaged; he could take it down easily. Knightwind did as he was ordered.
Yillis bit his lip. He was freezing and soaked. They were still under the starlight with the heavy clouded heaven. Rain sprayed down on his face. Small puddlekns were quickly forming. He grabbed his vibroblade in his hand; he threw it with accuracy yet praying it will hit its designated target. It didn't, the droid's programmed reflexes tried to doge it. The blade missed his torso; instead it struck in the droid's bone like hand. The droid dropped the weapon since the vibroblade destroyed the wires that controlled his fingers.
Yillis cursed, and grabbed his last vibroblade from his belt. He ran towards the droid to strike him. The droid ducked and grabbed Yillis by the neck. Yillis felt the cold metal closing around his already freezing neck.. He saw through his struggle the droid's torso was open, robbed from the usual protection it had. Wires upon wires were sticking out. Without second though Yillis drove his vibro blade in the wires in. he twisted it and pulled it out again only to strike again repeating the process several times till the droid dropped him and deactivated.

Yillis didn't stop to stare at his handiwork and rushed to help Vint and Knightwind. He stopped when he saw the droid fall. Darr-rann and Knighwind couldn't move the small wall that trapped Vint and TK, it wasn't threatening them since it fell diagonally wedged in an opposite wall next to them. Darr-Rann and Knightwind decided to help Shakey and Jennabelle getting rid of the droid.

No one said anything as the made a team effort to move the wall away.
They couldn't use tools in fear that the wall will cave in just like the roof did earlier.

"Guys, we are not coming anywhere," said Shakey worriedly.
"We have to keep trying," said Trooper512.
"I have an idea," said Yillis, he studied the wall intensely. The rest of the squad eagerly waited for him to talk again.
"Instead of trying to move the wall sideways, why not lift it?" The squad glanced uneasily to the wall. They could lift it, but if they drop it again it will cave in for sure.
"Any other suggestions?" asked Yillis who also knew the risk involved.
The squad all gather at a point of the wall, Yillis quickly explained Vint what was going to happen.
"Do it" said Vint, he never like tight places like this. He hated being trapped.
Okay, squad on the count of three...on...two...THREE!"
The wall slowly but surely lifted, the squad felt their muscles protesting at the weight.
Vint quickly wormed himself out through the small gap, dragging TK with him.

"Okay, at least we got every one alive" said Trooper512.
Yillis couldn"t help feeling someone was missing.
Yillis glanced to Shakey&
"Hellra" she said,
Yillis stared at the destroyed room in front of him. The room was as big as a small caferteria. Piles of rubbles were heaped on the once beautifully tiled floor. Yillis took a deep breath. The fresh smell of rain filled his nostrils, it carried a tint of grass with it.
The rain was worse that ever. Darr-Rann dragged TK under s small piece of roof that survived, trying to kepp him warm. 
"Shakey, go to Darr-Rann with that leg before it gets infected, KW, Vint get on the roof and warn us for anything" ordered Yillis.
Vint and Knighwind rushed up the roof, eager to see if the back up from the base arrived yet.
Shakey limped across the room to Darr-Rann and his dry yet soon to be soaked spot.

"Since the door is blocked we don't have to worry about that hopefully, Trooper come, we have to find Hellra, you will also have to see Darr about your arm, but it doesn't look seriously." Said Yillis.

Hellra groaned; an immense pain coursed through her body. She couldn't breath well, or move. She became aware of pain in her eyes. Her glasses shattered in her eyes.

"Hello?" came another voice from the darkness that felt so endless to Hellra .
"Yillis?" cracked Hellra"s voice; she started coughing as she breathed the dust in that wasn't washed away from the air by the rain.
"Hellra, where are you?" came another voice, it was Trooper512's.
"I don't know, I can't see," answered Hellra. She heard steps nearing her. Rock and grubble could be heard rolling across the floor as someone kicked it.
"Where is the droids?" asked Hellra, she tried to move, she wiggled her toes, stretched her hands, there was just a lot of rubble piled on her to prevent her from moving.
"Hellra, you must have been out for ten minutes, the droids are destroyed, luckily it was only two instead of three, when the roof tumbled in, it crushed and destroyed the one droid" answered Trooper512.

Hellra felt the weight on top of her shifting then lifting completely. She could hear the rubble grinding against each other as they were moved. Shakily she stood up.
"What is going on?" she asked, holding onto a wall that miraculously remained standing.
"Well, Darr-Rann is treating TK, KW and Vint is on the roof inspecting the roof and damage. Shakey is with TK and Darr-Rann, her leg got shot. Yillis and I was searching for you," answered Trooper512.
Hellra groaned again, the pain in her eyes was getting more painful as seconds ticked by. She dropped on her knees grabbing her head in her hands.
Yillis and Trooper512 didn't know what was going on, they looked at each other confusingly.
"What is wrong?
asked Yillis.
"Glasses....shattered...eyes" said Hellra through clenched teeth.
Yillis silently grabbed Hellra by her one arm, and pulled her out.

Come one Hellra, another patient for Darr_Rann
He led her carefully through the rubble warning her when an obstacle was in ger way. Hellra kept her head faced to the ground, she could feel the bits of the broken glass wedged through her eyelids. The rain was only worsening it. Watre trickled from her wet hair in her eyes burning the small wounds. She still couldn't breath properly; each time she breathed she could feel the pain hitting her in her ribs and back.

Yillis motioned Trooper512 over with him to inspect the blocked door.
Shakey joined them a few minutes later.
"Well, how is it going with them?" asked Trooper512 worried; he motioned to, TK and Hellra.
"TK is holding on to his life barely" said Shakey. She leaned against a wall for support.
"And Hellra?"
"Don't know, I think she is going through shock at the moment, her eyes are much more damaged then it looks. I think the shock is keeping her from feeling all the pain" answered Shakey.
"You think she will be blind?" asked Yillis.
"At this point, it is the reigning possibility," answered Shakey again. Her loose clothing were a river it self with all the absorbed water it had.
"I hope this rain is stopping soon"

Vint and Knightwind carefully trudged on the roof looking for anything suspicious.
Vint tensed up when he heard something, he followed the sound.
"Must have been a branch that fell," answered Knighwind.
The wind howled around them, the rain whipped sharply in their faces; it was like small needles being thrown in their faces. Knightwind turned with his back to the wind. Vint did the same. He folded his arms in order to gain a bit more heat.

"It doesn't look like there is any droids" said Vint
"Yet" answered Knightwind
"I think we should get out of here while we still can, it isn't good being trapped in that room" said Vint.
"Yes you are right," said Knightwind, he tried looking at Vint's face to read his expression.
"I will, go to Yillis, maybe you should get the vehicle started up so long and get it as close as possible," suggested Knighwind.
"Okay, lets just first hear what Yillis thinks"

Yillis was pondering on what to do. He listened intently at Knightwind's suggestion.
He was right, if the droids found them, they would die.
"Knighwind tell Vint to get the vehicle ready, go with him for in case something happens" Yillis turned to Trooper512
"Trooper, get Hellra on the roof, and Shakey, we will get TK with Darr-Rann's help out of here"
"Be careful, she broke a rib or two, same here with TK though on a larger scale, it seems his leg is broken too" warned Darr-Rann. He have tied an a plain piece of material around her eyes, since he used all his medical suplies on TK earlier.
Hellra grudgingly let her self be led by Trooper512.
Darr_rann quickly explained to Yillis and Shakey, how TK should be hoisted and carried, if he was moved the wrong way, he could be injured even more.

Vint sighed contently as he felt the heat the Trans Vehicle provides spread through him. He drove the vehicle carefully towards the wall nearest to the gap in the roof. Knightwind was sitting in the back with a rifle at aim from one of the windows.
He activated the radar screen to spot any droids. He quickly drove over the small clearing past the bloodied front steps. He saw the shadowy figure of Trooper512 with Hellra on the roof. It seems as if he was trying to get her down.

TK woke up groggily. He winced when he felt pain across his body.
He tried to move his head, but couldn't. Darr-Rann injected him with a pain relieving serum. He slipped back into sleep. He didn't notice he was suspended on the cover of a once magnificent table hoisted with chords.

Vint parked the vehicle right next the wall.
"Thanks Vint" said Trooper512 softly in hope any nearby droids won't hear them, Vint quickly got on the roof of the vehicle and grabbed Hellra's hand who were lowered with chords. He heard her grumbling and groaning.
"Oh stop being so whiney Hell," said Vint a bit annoyed. This shut Hellra immediately up.
"Lets put it like this, your length wouldn't have been a factor" said Vint after a few seconds as he helped her on the roof of the vehicle.
Hellra grumbled something, Vint jumped from the roof to the ground, Trooper512 meanwhile got on the roof of the vehicle to help Hellra to the ground. Trooper512 rubbed his injured arm, he shoudn't have used so much energy with it.

Vint led Hellra to the insides of the vehicle. He left quickly to help with TK.
Hellra leaned against the seat tiredly, she won't be surprised if they are going to attacked.... Again. She sat for a few seconds trying to concentrate on any sounds through the pain. Luckily Darr-Rann also injected her with a pain relieving serum. She relaxed for a few seconds. Her mind dimmed into a blank state.
