"Do something to help!" He heard Jelly roar as he move back into action. Not yet willing to leave Saph alone he was firing semi-blind over the stump of the fallen log he had taken refuge under. The approaching troops were coming from inside, and Alater thought he heard somebody trying to slice open the door at the bottom he had left rather in a manner of disaray with a frag grenade.

Wicket squeeled a little bit as he hopped into action, small silver head bobbing up and down as he loosed random shots over his shoulder at the approaching patrol squad. The enemy looked hagard, tired, and under armed but most of all they looked angry. It seemed that Alater and Gio's group attempt of causing general hell and chaos had payed off in not only distracting the enemy but making them unfit for battle.

Tired or not a man can still fire a blaster, if not very well. Squall and Alater did their best to keep the men off of the log, but their fire was starting to tear the wood to shreds. Alater feared that a bolt or two would get through and hit them.

"You guys have got to move. You've got cover to your right that looks to be about Wicket size, and another large fallen log to your left, about five meters off. Don't get shot." Alater called out over the Comm system as he set up his next shot. The bolt rang out and caught a young looking trooper in the back of his right thigh. He went down with a screem, muscles spasming as he fell. The result was a short burst of blaster fire that hit yet another traitorous trooper.

"Move! Now!" Alater called out over the Comm.

“Oofff... oofff”

It had become rhythmic by now, Riq flailing about slightly and grunting each time his groin collided with the cable, more armor chipping away with each impact, and more scratches were forming on his face from the fragments, luckily not drawing blood or hitting eyes just yet...  That was the operative word... yet...  It was a matter of time before he got hit in the eye, or even worse... he ran out of armor over his family jewels...

Glancing down furtively, Riq had mixed feelings, the floor was close and getting closer... he might make it before he ran out of armor.  Of course that was the issue as well, he was getting closer a little bit too fast, if he didn’t slow immediately, he would certainly break a leg or two, and certainly not in the good luck way.  Grinding his teeth, Riqimo tightened the reinforced belt against the turbolift cable as hard as he could, pulling his head back from the sparks and risking the bottom of his boots against the cable, ignoring the spikes breaking off and hitting his arm and hands.

Soon, the soles of his boots were literally burning, making him clench his teeth even harder and decide that there was no choice but to risk his groin or lose his feet.  At the exact instant that he kicked off, he hit the ground at a high enough speed to twist his ankle a bit.

“That’s it... I’m putting in for a thicker layer on the groin,” Riqimo muttered as the last bits chipped away when he tapped it to see how much armor was left.

“Hey you!” a gun was felt against Riq’s back, “What the frak are you doing here?”

"Would you stop barking orders at me lizard boy!" Came Saph's angry voice over the Comm for the first time to Alater's hearing since she had been hit. He didn't know what she had said since as both Jelly and Saph had muted their comm links.

Jelly rose quickly from the log, his riot suppresion rifle firing off a few quick shots before launching a grenade at the group. The resulting explosion threw up a lot of shrapnel and noise to mix in with the confusion of the resulting smoke and thrown up dirt.

"How are you guys doing down there?" Alater said as he watched Squal dispatch yet another trooper. That's when a question crossed Alater's mind: What if these guys weren't really traitors? What if they didn't know what was really going on? Surely so many troops, even thoughs from the regulars of the army, couldn't be so ready and willing to defect. Maybe they thought there was some kind of plot was going on and they were being assaulted.

Alater didn't have much time to think on it though as the door two levels below him exploded, resulting in him losing scope on Squal and the others. Alater cursed as he folded the weapon back in on itself and converted it to its original blaster mode. He then swung the weapon onto its strap and from there onto his shoulder.

As the thundering sound of combat boots on countless stairs resounded up to Alater's ears, he drew Long Fang in preparation. In his other hand he drew a frag grenade, preparing to give the approaching enemy a rather nasty suprise.

“Uhh... checking the shaft, making sure the... uh, wiring was done right.” Riq spat out.  And closed his eyes waiting for the blast, only to hear a thud and a tap on his shoulders, “That was a hell of a ride, Doc.”

Riq pried one eye open first to make sure he was still alive and not in some after life with another trooper that happened to die from impact.  Nope... still in the shaft... unless this will take me to hell or something... his other eye twitched open, Not hot enough though. One way to be sure though...

Riq turned around to face Baretz, and certainly in the elevator shaft and something still smoking...

“Ahh!” Riq jumped around a bit and waved his hands to blow as much air as rapidly as he could at his genitals, the black bodysuit starting to smoke a little. “Ahh! Ahh!”

Blackout was down next, landing with a soft thud of his feet on the unfortunate man threatening Riq earlier.  He looked at Baretz strangely who shrugged in a ‘don’t ask’ manner.  Sighing when there was no worry besides a small hole in the previously smoking area, Riqimo glanced at the knocked out man, now obviously with several broken ribs with everyone managing it down safely on top of him.

“Excuse me a moment,” he slide so that his back was facing the troopers and pulled the soldier’s pants off, revealing a rather colorful set of boxers.  A few more tugs brought the pant of completely and Riq quickly put them on himself and blushing slightly to Blackout signaled to the bunched up fabric at his feet, “Mind cutting the legs down to my size?”  As Blackout shrugged and pulled a knife out of a sheath on his leg, Riqimo went about using the tip of his own knife to make a hole in the belt so he wouldn’t have to hold the pants up all the time.

"Where the fuck is our cover fire?" Came Squall's voice through the Comm, followed shortly by a large amount of blaster fire, an explosion, and some rather harsh cursing. Apparently the distracton technique had worked a little too well and while they were holding down the fort here all the enemies from this part of the bunker had decided to converge on this point.

"I've got other things to worry about right now Serge..." Alater muttered as he listened to the approaching foot steps. The pin on the grenade was already out but Alater was waiting for just the right moment.

One, two, three...

Alater released the clip and swiveled around the door as he loosed a few blaster shots into the chest of a regular dressed trooper coming around the corner. The light armor around his chest didn't stand up to the bolts and he fell backwards as the force of the bolts blew him into the man right behind him. Alater tossed the grenade down the stairs and slammed the door shut.

With a small shake of the building and a rather decently sized explosion, Alater watched as smoke poofed under the rim of the door. The bodies strew against the walls and on the stairs were all in strange positions and the first two were blown to bits, their internal orgrans torching inside the few body parts that still resembled their original form.

Alater stormed down the stairs, his momentum taking him almost straight through the first two troopers. Never prepared for a close combat fight, they all fell easily save the last that had managed to draw his vibroblade and activate it.

The trooper was afraid, his hands shoot as he hold the blade in a manner that signified a lack of practice or form. His eys darted between Alater and the blood on his blade more than once, and were it not for the thoughts racing about in his mind, Alater would have struck him down the first time. This did not look like the face of a man determined on a mission, a traitor.

The next time he looked away Alater stepped forward and brought the entire length of Long Fang through the 'traitor's' body. The sick, curved, fanged blade tore more on the way out then the way in and were it not for his Barabel strength it would not have been capable. Safe for the moment, Alater tapped his Comm link.

"Hey Doc, it's Alater. Listen, I don't think these guys even want to be here. They fight like our troops, that's for sure, but they all seem like they're scared out of their minds and more than usual for prey." Alater called out, giving a few details of his recent encounter.

Just as the pants were right down to size and Rupert shaking his head in a somewhat disbelieving, or maybe annoyed, manner (Riq wasn’t quite sure which), the comlink came on and Riq flicked it to receive to hear Alater’s voice mixed with an occasional hiss and growl, “Hey Doc, it's Alater. Listen, I don't think these guys even want to be here..." he proceeded into a detailed account of what he had just went through as the Gamma group was led by Rupert to the set of stairs that would take down another level, a level closer to Ptaph Tigellinus.

“Well... I can understand that facing a giant lizard would be stressful,” Riq shrugged and pulled back as he heard a blaster bolt and his group fighting just around the corner, “Please hold a moment.”

The commander swung his E-11 down and fired it under-armed at any hostile that he could get a clear shot at from behind the rest of the Storm Platooners.  “Umm, anyways,” Riq cracked his neck with a quick jerk of his head to the right, “It’s just stress probably.  Builds up when you think you are going to be trialed for Treason, erm... scratch trial, executed for treason even if you live through a failure.”

“I understand that Death Leader, but this is different, I can almost taste it on my tongue,” Riq heard a slight hiss on the other end upon that, “It’s different.”

“Was this just one person?” Riq inquired, trying to get to the bottom of the matter quickly.

“So far... yes.” Alater resigned.

“Consider him an exception, I’m sure a few folks are forced like this.  Oh, and when you rendezvous with us down here, be smart and take a turbolift the proper way.”

“Roger Death Leader,” Alater growled lightly, obviously unsure why Riq gave that piece of advice.  He would have to ask after the mission.

As Alater ended the transmission with Doc he hefted his blade onto his shoulder. As he stepped over bodies he heard a scream and turned to see a rather amazing site. A very young trooper was running in a manner befiting the female children of his species. Behind him, bleeding mildly and weilding a rather threatening looking vibroblade, was Saph. The fact that the armed trooper was running from the wounded, limping Twi'lek was funny enough, but to hear his screams of sheer terror was just too much.

Alater could barely contain himself from laughing as he grabbed the trooper's face and slammed the back of his head into a wall. The resulting result was something like a melon being smashed with a hammer. Saph gave him a look that communicated her wish for him to drop dead right then and there. Behind her, rather quickly, was Jelly who immediantly began to bicker about her and her wounds.

"Glad to have your freaking help Alater!" Came Wicket's voice as his short legs carried him towards the new conforming group, Squall striding behind him. Alater nodded to the two sergeants and Jelly turned to all of them.

"Right, now that we're back on track we just need to get down to the second mainframe. The other group has already knocked out the first one. Thanks for your help guys, see you when this all over." Jelly said, and he started to walk off towards the staircase. Alater turned to Wicket and nodded towards a corridor that would lead them towards the center of the complex.

They needed to go down about two levels to reach the turbolifts that would take them towards where Doc was supposed to be. If they managed to get there in decent time they could meet up with a few from the original group and help Doc with the final take down and finish this thing once and for all.

Riq blinked his eyes and shook his head a bit, combat fatigue combined with the stress (especially the stress of almost losing his reproductive organs), was starting to get to him a little.  Just a little.  His borrowed pants fluttered a little as he ran as fast as he could down the hall, firing shots over his shoulder at pursuing tangos.  Seeing a solution on Xenos’ belt to their current predicament, he hurried forward a little more, almost jumping to cover the distance with his legs, and grabbed a grenade from the man’s waist.  The new Eclipser almost reacted in a threatening manner until he realized it was a friendly.  Smiling sheepishly at the much taller man he mouthed, “I’m just gonna borrow this,” and pulled the pin to toss it over his left shoulder and hear it roll towards an unsuspecting enemy until...

... a few screams came with the resulting explosion, having Gamma spin around and finish off any survivors that were saved by being towards the back of the small mob.

“Pleasant work,” Rupert sighed, his pistol had yet to leave its holster, “Glad you folks are professional enough to save yourselves despite the running and cupping of your...”

“Says the one who refuses to touch a weapon,” Riq mocked as he pulled his belt up a little more, “You may be intel, we may rely on you for getting the information we need for so many missions, but you don’t have the guts to do a damn real thing that we do!” Riq grabbed the man’s weapon and forced it into his hand, “You are going to defend yourself as much as we do.”

“Very well... Sergeant...” Rupert emphasized the rank between his own and the Platoon Commander’s.

“Frankly my Corporal, I don’t give a damn,” Riq replied, showing he knew well the possible quandaries he may face later.

As the pair ran down the halls, they were met with little resistance. The few patrols that had maintained by their posts were rather easily killed by Wicket and Alater as their momentum carried them on. It didn't help their case that both Wicket and Alater wanted to meet up with Doc's group as fast as possible and not even a charging banta was going to stand in their way a this point. At one check point they even left a very bewildered guard standing, holding a pulled grenade pin as Alater tossed it over his right shoulder and continued to run down the hall. His only regret was not getting to see the look on the trooper's face.

"This is Gio, where are you guys?" Came Giovanni's voice over the squad Comm they had taken to using for their group. He sounded a little hagard, but mabye that was the boredom with having nothing reallly more to do than clean up patrols.

"Um, yea, this is Wicket. We're headed towards the turbolifts to meet up with the Doctor, I meen, uh, Riqimo. How are you guys doing?" He said, somehow amazingly trying to strike a conversation while in the middle of a dead run.

"Oh, we're just fine. You know, held up with about twenty armed men on the other side of a door trying to cut through with heavy weapons. It doesn't help that you guys went and left us. So if you haven't got the message yet, get your asses over here now!" Gio yelled, his voice harsh as the line closed and Wicket and Alater shared a look at each other and altered course.

Rupert was still steaming slightly, but he knew enough to put it aside, for now anyways.  The Gamma group  was jogging down a flight of stairs, hurrying to reach the end of the bunker, just mere flights of stairs away.  Riq though he heard something below them and was just about to pull his rifle up when they turned around the flight and literally collided with some more hostiles, resulting in some quick rifle melee fighting before Storm was on the move again.  About five minutes later they were standing outside a set of heavy blast doors, about a kilometer and a half below sea level. 

“Figures we make it this far go through all that hell to be stopped by a door at the very end.” Riq muttered.  “Anyone have high grade explosives by any chance?”

Silence.

“Thought so,” Riq shrugged, “Dax see if you can slice it somehow, I’ll check on the others via com link.  How long we got Rupert?”

“An hour and fifteen minutes,” came the low reply.

“Alater, Wicket, either one of you there?”

“Doctor!” came the cheerful reply, causing Riq to roll his eyes a little, “How’s it going?”

“Wicket, you still have a few demo charges left?”

“Yes, I...” there was a pause, “Duran Duran has them, I gave them to him.”

“Great, get your romp down here with them, we need a little bang.  You got a little over an hour.”

“Okay, I’ll go get Duran,” Wicket half-sang in reply.

Riq narrowed his eyes quizzingly at the com link, “He isn’t with you?”

“No, we had to break off to help Jelly Belly.” Wicket remarked, the optimism starting give Riq a headache.

“Please hurry then,” Riq sighed, “We ain’t got much time.”

Wicket and Alater closed the Comm channel as they began to run, hitting Gio's position before they headed down.

Their boots resounded against the floor in uniform sound despite the size difference, if only for an instant. Maybe that was why they still had their backs turned when they came around the corner. There they were, almost twenty armed men set up behind baricades with five or so men in front exchanging fire with Gio's group.

"Keep at it men! Keep your fire steady and make sure to pick your targets! Don't let one of them live." Their sergeant called out, his uniform exactly the same as he had seen countless times on other members of the Army. One thing was for sure, these guys weren't from the stormtrooper corps. Professional soldiers such as the Corps would never defect or, as Alater thought, be pushed into defecting.

Alater motioned for silence and Wicket quickly escaped around the corner. Alater then reached behind his back and grabbed ahold of the Heavy Republic Flame Carbine. The flamer in his hands, he turned back to the units firing at Gio and he let out a whistle. Firing seemed to stop, if for ever a moment and all time seemed to stop.

There stood Alater, flamer trigger starting to depress.  Their sergeant was pivoting on his heels, and somewhere a trooper called out a profanity. A blaster bolt seemed stuck, if only for an instant, and then everything snapped back to real time and there was death by fire. Alater chuckled mildly as all twenty of the unprepared army men swelled up into flames as he unleashed a second burst. Carelesness such as this is what resulted in his injury, a trooper got a lucky shot off before his body was engulfed and Alater took a glancing blaster shot to the left hand.

Alater cursed rather lengthly in Barabese before he reached to cover the wound. Gio's group was approaching and one of them bandaged the wound for him.

"Look, sorry about that but we were stuck. I geuss you guys are heading down towards Riqimo. We're going to stay around here and see about securing that base now that the anti-air is down. You two go on." Gio ordered and Wicket and Alater headed towards the turbolifts to meet up with Doc and bring him his explosives.

Riq paced back and forth urgently, constantly glancing at Dax, who kept at his attempts to get the door open with no success thus far.  “I don’t think it’s gonna happen without blowing it,” the com tech sighed, “I’ll keep at...”

He was interrupted by Wicket’s ever cheerful voice, “Heeeellllooo! We got the explosives now Doctor, on our way in as fast as we can go.”

Riq for once shared the optimism of the trooper, “Much thanks Wicket, you get those here soon and I’ll actually give you a hug.”  The platoon mates lounging about the bottom of the stairs a glanced at their commander in a slightly disturbed manner, but said nothing.

“Really Doctor?” Riq could imagine the broad grin on the Sullustan’s face, “We’ll hurry a little faster in that case!”

“Good to hear,” Riq switched off the comlink and rolled his shoulders to relieve some tension, “I think you can stop now Dax, should be set for a couple booms and a bang soon.”

The tech shrugged, “I’ll just challenge myself a little bit while we wait.”

Riq nodded, it was understandable, he was getting a little fidgety and was having difficulty sitting still, his eyes jumping to the slightest movement.

A while later Riq grabbed his rifle at the sound of footsteps coming heavily down the durasteel stairs, everyone in gamma quickly took up a defensive position.  “Hold your fire, might be Alater and Wicket.” Riqimo whispered and balanced himself a little more in his crouch.

As Wicket tried to race ahead, Alater died a little bit inside. That sullestan was going to get us all killed one day either with his go gettem attitude or with his infernal hugs. Despite his size and brutality he was still the ocasional victom to an emotional Wicket moment. It didn't help that the little guy was not only higher ranked than he, but his fire team captain as well, removing from him the option of flinging his caracass across the room like a rag doll.

Wicket's explosives had been a little hard to precure, requiring a stop to save Gio's butt, as he was sure to retell it in some other manner that made it seem as if they hadn't needed the help what so ever. That was the military life, especially when it resided around a glass of ice cold beer. Humans and their obsession with alchohal was something he could never understand.

Alater and Wicket thundered down the last hallway and Alater swore he heard Doc's voice before they came face to face with a few guns pointed their way. Alater growled a bit as he reached for his own rifle, still not quite sure what was going on, but trying to be cautious.

"It's them, put 'em down guys." Riqimo said, motioning for everybody to chill out and put their weapons down. He then turned to the pair.

"I take it you've got the explosives right?" Doc said, looking at Wicket, who took it as an invation to wrap himself around Doc's torso in what could only logically be called a death grip. After Wicket released his hold from hell, and Doc was sure none of his ribs were broken, they went about planting charges on the door, seemingly to Dax's dismay but Alater sensed otherwise.

“Doctor! I missed you!” Wicket didn’t bother to answer his commander’s question about the explosives.  Riq’s first concern was where the explosives were, if Wicket had them and was hugging Riq tight enough... He left out a sigh when Alater was clearly in possession of them, letting the precious air out that he probably should have saved to survive the tight grip.  Regardless, Wicket released Riqimo and the PC half jokingly patted himself down to check for injuries.

“Be sure to place them carefully Alater,” Riq reminded, “I still want to be able to go up and down the stairs when that thing blows...”

“It will be fine Death Leader,” the squad’s heavy weapon specialist placed the charges carefully as Wicket went about getting them set to explode upon the detonation command.  “Should be set,” he hissed as Wicket was priming the last one to the proper settings.  “Should be safe two flights up if you care to cover your ears to avoid a temporary deafness, should affect those inside too, so we get an advantage.”

Riq nodded and began jogging up the stairs to the point Alater suggested and did the best he could to shelter his ear drums with his hands.  The barabel wasn’t jesting that it would be loud, despite his precautions, the platoon commander’s ears were ringing slightly as he hurried down the stairs, unslinging his rifle now that his hands were free.  The tactic was that the Barabel would jump through the hole first, just a little psychological element.  If anyone looked to be in some sort of authority, they were not to be shot at... in a lethal manner anyways.  And as Riq expected in the back of his mind, Rupert was behind all of them.

Alater growled in slight disgust, slight amusement as he lept through the hole. His large, black, scaley form was ment to deter any enemies from doing anything too rash before he had a chance to secure them as targets, and prevent them from dying any sort of suddeny immediant death of the untimely kind. One thing he noticed though was a lack of interest and a smell of fear from a certain corporal belonging to the intelligence branch of their military. Alater was all for having the necessary information before a mission, but to be afraid of acting upon it was just a dishonor to not only yourself but all of those around you. As a result, as Alater stormed through the hole which a recent large explosion had greated, he roared in great rage.

The interior of the room looked rather much like Alater had imagined it would be. Beside the door had been two guards, each blown away by the explosion and lying rather dead at complete opposite ends of the room. The rest of the room seemed to be comprised of a single set of screens that ran almost all the way around the room. Everything from readouts on the missile silos to targets was here, including a sort of count down. Alater didn't understand but he did know enough to shoot the two guards punching in codes for the one door out of the room in the legs. Alater turned back to the hole in which they had came and called the all clear to Doc.

“Ptaph Tigellinus must be behind that door there, most likely an offce...” Riq mused outloud, “Rupert, you can go ahead and start shutting down the silos, we’ll go ahead and secure the prisoner.”

Their intel ‘guide’ nodded and immediately proceeded to the nearest console that he could work at while Dax hurried over to the door and began slicing it, “This one’s not too hard at all, factory default codes... you’d think the military would be smarter than that.”

Riq chuckled, “They cut back on whatever they can save money on, and besides you couldn’t slice the other one, so why bother again?”

Dax shrugged, “Done, opening now.”

As the door hissed open, Riq was prepared for the worst, more armored guards, droids, anything.  He didn’t quite expect to see a man seated at a desk sipping a fine wine from a glass and remarking, “Checkmate, well played.”

Moments later Ptaph was with two Storm Platooners at his sides and glaring semi-casually at Rupert as the later punched away at the consoles, shutting down silos, one section at a time.

Riq acknowledged to himself was a brilliant plan launching the missiles at Nodriss, but what he truly worried about wasn’t the missiles anymore.  Ptaph defected for some reason some force outside of the VE, and if he didn’t craft this devious scheme... the mastermind was out there still, somewhere in the Galaxy...  That wasn’t his concern though, Imperial Intelligence would police itself as usual, find out what exactly caused Ptaph to change sides.  It would be interesting though, as they train their own in the best of anti-interrogation, something that would make an interesting watch on a holo-record, if Riq ever got the clearance for it.

Alater sighed as it all began to come to a close. Himself and Wicket had played a sort of key part in this entire mission and they were both beat after running around so much and seeing so much action. The enemy, the man they had been sent to capture, didn't look like much of a worthy adversary at all. As a matter of fact he looked like a sort of lowly man that really had nothing better to do with his life then make things complicated for Alater and his squad.

In the end it came down to who had the better men and the better guns and thankfully, that was Storm Platoon today. In a little under fifteen hours they had managed a full scale invasion of the little island, shut down the active missile silos of a madman, invaded a heavily armed and armored bunker, and ultimately captured the man responsible. As Alater leened back and lit up another cigar, he thought heavily on the entirety of his day and he began to drift off to sleep before he found Wicket slapping him on the leg.

"Come on now, can't be sleeping. We've still got to meet back up with everyone and bring this guy back. You can sleep when we hit the barracks." The little sullestan said as Alater sort of came to. Despite the sudden urge to make a Wicket size whole in the wall, Alater knew he was right. They were still considered in enemy territory and the silos had yet to be all shut down.

Alater roamed around the office slash control room for a little bit, rummaging through drawers and cabinets. He wasn't exactly sure what he was looking for but he was happy with what he'd found. To support his new habbit of smoking cigars, the enemy had just provided him with a nice little case of aged, hand rolled, cigars. Alater smiled in pleasure.

“That’s all of them...” Rupert stretched his arms over his head and sighed, “The crisis is over with, and the moon of Tadath is completely unaware of what near death incident they had.  Storm Platoon has done well.”

Riq shrugged as if it was nothing, “It’s what we do, it’s our duty and our oath to the Corps.”

“Aye, but you guys did a hell of job despite the obstacles and...” he nodded to Riq’s pants, “Other miscellaneous issues that came up.  Now if you excuse me, we need to arrange a shuttle back to Sianat, unless you rather take the boats...”

“NO!” the entire room exclaimed quickly, having enough of the waves, and the fact it was still down pouring combined with the fact the Higgins boats didn’t provide any form of cover from the weather.

Rupert had changed from his stoic self to a much more amiable person, although nowhere near the Wicket level, and chuckled, “Ya, not to fond of those myself.  Anywho, let’s get our tired asses up with the others, now that the anti air system is down, getting a ride out is gonna be easy.”

Besides the occasional automatic turret that they were unable to shut down, and the few defectors that knew full well they would be executed if taken and thus still kept a small fight up in the facility here and there.  In fact, when they meet up with Gio, they had come up behind such a group that was engaged in a hide and seek game with the Paladin Squad leader and his crew.

The comm crackled with no response. Jelly had been trying to get a hold of Kami and Hashsi not no avail. Eviscares and Kreic had managed to set the EMP charge on their designated Server ,but where meeting a bit of resistance so couldn’t try and aid Kami. The trio of Saph, Squall, and Jelly had gotten tired of waiting and moved to the entrance of the bunker.

“Ok We’ll go in a line I’ll take point and Squall you take rear.” Jelly said as he slammed a clip into his Rifle with a satisfying click.

“Shouldn’t I take point since your injured?” Squall as looking at his concerned

“Normally yes ,but It’s only a graze I can still use my shoulder.” Jelly said slapping the wound with a small grimace.

“I want you to watch behind us because apparently Kreic and Eviscares where taking some fire and that would be behind us where we’re going.” Jelly explained taking a position to the right of the door with Saph behind him.

Squall toke up a position on the left side of the door checking his weapon quickly. Jelly nodded when everybody looked as ready as they could be and stormed in. The hall through the entrance was clear much to His relief.

“Ok guys move it up and let’s double time this.” Jelly said over the comm quietly.

Two acknowledgement lights winked in his headset which he was using instead of his helmet which had been destroyed earlier. Taking the point Jelly moved down the right wall consulting his map.

“We have a junction up ahead we have to take the left and head down that hall to find the server also the security room is down there which we can secure to try and find Kami and Hashsi.” Jelly told the others quietly.

They failed to meet any resistance during their journey to the junction. Once at the junction they toke the hall on the left and started to move  west. The hall p ahead was silent except for the wrrring sound come from the machines in the walls whatever they did. The group continued remaining alert as they could be fatigue seemed to wear down on them though. A door on the right suddenly swung open admitting two enemy troopers in red armor though they weren’t wearing helmets.

“You don’t have to fight us if you don’t want to.” Said Jelly as he brought his rifle to bare on the leading trooper.

They looked at each other and nodded dropping to their knees quickly. Jelly stood over them and then hit them in the back of the head with his rifle.

“Why’d you do that?” Saph asked breathing in sharply.

“We couldn’t worry about some enemy that gave up.” He replied stepping over them to clear the room

The group then continued to move down the hall towards the security room. The room came up sooner than they expected thought it was a welcome surprise. The three stood at breaching positions outside the door  with Jelly at the forward. Jelly opened the door and stormed in Followed by Saph and Squall.

One man popped up out of his chair with a blaster being raised ,but was stopped short be a blast from Squall’s gun. Saph grappled with a man that tried to tackle her and wrestled him to the ground hitting him on the back of the head.  Jelly grabbed the outreached hand of a guard who was taking aim at Saph and brought his arm don the opposite way on his elbow shattering the bone. The man cried out in pain and dropped to his knees. Jelly pointed the gun at his head and fired a single shot ending the cries.

Saph went quickly to the monitors searching for Hashsi and Kami. It didn’t take her long to find them pinned down by enemy fire in outside the room with the servers.

“Ok let’s go guys.” Jelly said with urgency as he ran to the door to head off for their teammates.

Lucky and her group finished off a few guards that had been hiding into the brush when they had went for the bunkers. What had alerted them to their presence, were some faint noises in the brush. She stared at some branches of a tree, and in her focus came the face of an ugly-looking man. She immediately raised her rifle and popped a clean shot in between his eyes.

the rest came out of hiding , mad that one of their friends or colleagues had been killed. It had taken their group a few minutes , to pick them all off , while remaining well-hidden.

Once they were sure that every single guard was dead , Aeos and Gio signaled for them to come out of their hiding places.

When she had scramble dout of cover , Lucky voiced an idea. "I think we should join the other groups , seeing as were not far from their coordinates."

"Good idea , Lucky" agreed Gio. "Let's move out !"

With that , they formed a single file, Gio at the front , the newere members after him , Lucky halfway in the line, the rest of the members behind her, and Aeos at the very back , closing the march.

They walked in silence, alert for any signs of enemies hiding behind trees, bushes , boulders and other such natural cover you could get on an island.

They walked for about a half-hour without encountering anyone when they suddenly heard noises particualr to a shhot-out between two groups of people.

Their suspicions were confirmed when a blaster bolt whizzed past Lucky's shoulder and hit a tree trunk. Smoke came out of the trunk , and she saw the burn the bolt had left. They ahd probably been heard.

They all took out heir weapons in unison and prepared for a bloody battle. As they got closer , Gio was the first to see a group of guards  waiting for them , guns drawn.

The hall came to life with troopers just as Jelly, Saph , and Squall exited out into it. A door on the right deposited four troopers with heavy carbines.  The hall became filled with a hell storm of blaster bolts. Jelly pulled Saph around pushing her back through the security door.

“Find some sort of lock down for that door over there it must be their barracks.” Jelly yelled as he fired off a couple shots.

Squall dived over Jelly firing off some well placed shots which toke down all but one of the troopers. The last one looked around and began to head back into the barracks when the door slammed down on his foot. He screamed out in pain and began fruitlessly pounding against the door as if trying to make it open. Jelly fired a single shit from his rifle putting the man out of his misery.

“Let’s move it guys and Good job Saph.” Jelly said smiling back at her as she came out of the security room looking flustered.

They got into formation and began to move down the hall towards Kami’s position. Again they meet no resistance  which was odd to Jelly as he always expected to be fighting. The steel halls echoed their foot steps making up for the lack of sound.

The door up ahead was where they had to go and they could tell due to the blackened walls and gun reports coming from the other side of the door. Jelly and Saph toke the right side of the door while Squall toke the left. Jelly opened the door and poked his head in seeing Kami and Hashsi where on the far side of the room while Jelly and the others where right behind the enemy.

“This should be interesting lets go.” Squall called as he poked in and toke a pot shot at one of the enemy troopers downing him.

“We don’t have time for this cover me!” Jelly shouted audible so hopefully Kami heard him.

Jelly dived into the room sliding up behind the enemy. One of them turned and pointed a blaster at Jelly. Jelly introduced his foot to the man’s face crushing in the bone killing him quite effectively. Jelly swung around his rifle and filled them all up with bullets dropping all of them.

“Kami We’re all clear.” Jelly shouted getting up from behind the enemy’s position.

“Ok we’ll go set the charge.” She replied making for the door behind her.

A couple moments Kami came rushing out shouting orders.

“Everyone out of the Bunker we have both charges set and timers going.”

The team rushed out of the bunker meeting up with Kreic and Eviscares. The entire team rushed up and out of the bunker in time to hear the EMP charges detonate which disabled the electrophones that held the doors up. This cause the entrance to slam down keeping anybody else from escaping.

Wicket was just happy to see that Riqimo was alive and well. Riqimo was the only one left in Eclipse besides Jelly that were there when Wicket first joined. Riqimo was like the father Wicket never had for a while, and Jelly, like a brother.

Riqimo had went inside the base to place the remaining charges. He had told Goblin to detonate them at a certain time, even if Riqimo was not out of the building yet.

"Look," Goblin spoke over the comm, "I know he's our SL, and face it, Doc's a great guy, but he gave me an order, and I plan to carry it out. It's about 50km between here and the safe house, and we have enemies on our tail, and Doc has an hour and a half to respond before I blow the charges. We should be about almost to the safe house in the time he gave us, but then I'm pushing the button."

A huge explosion followed by a series of smaller ones were heard in the distance, and all eyes turned. A tear rolled down Wickets funny looking cheek, and Goblin thought he mumbled Doctor...

"Look guys, I'm sorry, but it was an order and.." Goblin started before an all too familiar voice came over the comm. Riqimo came rushing into the room.

Wicket came back to reality when a blaster bolt went flying past his face. "Whoa!" Wicket shouted. He was running through the halls not know what was actually happening. The memory of Riqimo was more important. Wicket would not be the same if he didn't have Riqimo.

The group began to fire at the guards they snuck up behind. Alater and Gio were firing like crazy. Wicket wasn't really doing a whole lot of anything. He meet back up with Durandal and started having a casual conversation, while trying to dodge some blaster bolts.

lucky felt more than saw Wicket and Alater come back in their group. "Welcome back guys" she mumbled as she kept firing. She saw Alater station himself near Gio , both of them were doing a fine job . She looked around her , and saw Aravan who seemed to have frozen , and Wicket and Durandal having a friendly conversation.

She moved to poise herself right in front of Aravan , and started talking to him to try and calm him down enough for him to be able to participate in the battle.

She felt a rumble underneath her feet. It was probably the after effects of the explosions. "hey Wicket , Durandal , a little help would be appreciated here!"

She glared at them before moving her gaze back to the battle that was unfolding in front of her. The guards were getting steadily closer to their position. This was getting even more dangerous , fast. I hope everyone gets out of this alive...

A few blaster bolts whizzed by her head and hit the wall. Getting angrier at the fact that they were firing closer to their heads than a few minutes ago , she let out a volley of bolts which took out three men.

With a satisfied grin , she roared a war cry and kept firing. At that moment precisely, Aravan came out of his frozen state and happily joined into the firing frenzy.

After Running for the life of his electronic equipment, Kreic was tired, And they still had to make it to Gamma's position to assist the the capture of their primary objective.

Luckily, Kreic spotted two modified speeders under some netting covered with brush. Kreic quickly uncovered them yelling back to the group "Hey guys! Look what I found!" He jumped into the drivers seat of one as Jelly claimed the other.

"Think you can keep up,Sir?" Kreic said with an amused tone. So far the mission was going smoothly.

Once everyone loaded up, Kreic Let Jelly take the lead position, the respective gunners scanning everywhere for a sign of the enemy.

Kreic gunner called out "We got chasers!" And sure enough, his turret opened fire on the three speeders, just like their, following them.

One of the speeders exploded upon impact with the most deadly of foes, a very solid Tree. Apparently Jelly's gunner was a damn good shot. Kreic was jealous.

As he had to focus on dodging trees and Blaster fire, Kreic sped up, pulling alongside Jelly's speeder as best as he could, both gunners peppering the remaining speeders with fire.

One of them exploded after the engine took fatal hits. The last was lucky, or skilled...

Kreic was tired of this, they didn't have time for it, Kreic cut the engines and let the momentum carry him forward while he cut the wheel and spun around.

This should be fun.. Kreic thought to himself as he aimed right at the remaining speeder. A few shots caught the driver and the enemy speeder veered off. Looks like he learned to shoot today..

Kreic grinned it was a good kill. He turned around and caught up with Jelly and they made good time to Gamma's entry point, At which everyone dismounted and Kreic had to say goodbye to his speeder.

They then set out to find Gamma.

Lucky shouted at Wicket and Durandal. They both look at each other and sighed, after rolling their eyes. Wicket jumped behind a wall and began firing. His aim wasn't that great, then again, it usually never was.

The rest of the group was still holding off the guards. Once it seemed as if they had dwindled down in numbers, more appeared out of no where. Wicket not being much of a help with the firing of a gun, decided to go do something else. Not wanting anyone to well, he looked around to see if anyone was watching and made his way around to the other side of the base.

Wicket looked around for any door that enemies could exit or enter from. He found one to the left a few feet ahead. He then kneeled down and searched through his backpack. Wicket grabbed a mine out and placed it near the door. "This should help decrease the numbers." Wicket said out loud.

While placing the mine, the door slid open. A tall man in a workers uniform stepped out and looked at Wicket. Wicket looked up and stared for a second. Then, without thinking, he rushed back a few feet to get away from the man and searched for his blaster. Where the hell is my gun! Wicket thought to himself looking all around. He looked back to where he was earlier, and there it was laying on the ground. Damn. Wicket continued to back up and was about fifty feet away from the man. The man pulled out a blaster and pointed it at Wicket. Needing to do something, Wicket looked down at his backpack and threw it in the direction of the man.

Back where the battle was going on, there seemed to be a few guards left. Alater and Gio easily took care of them. Suddenly there was a big blast. BOOM! The group looked around to try and see what it was. Soon Wicket came around the corner. He looked at everyone as they stared back. "What did you do Wicket?" Riqimo asked.

"I killed someone!" Wicket said with a grin. "I through my backpack at him and I guess there was still a demo charge in there. I'm fine. Just a scratch on my leg. Anyway don't just stand there! Do something!" Wicket looked at Alater who was smoking on a cigar. "Dammit, not another..."

The squad hoped out of the speeders when it became to heavily forested to keep using them. Jelly helped Saph out of the gunners seat and down to the ground.

“Good shooting Tex.” He said smiling at her.

Saph didn’t return the compliment she was busy staring at the Heavy speeder that was bearing down on them. Jelly turned to see what she was gawking at and saw the beast. It was a heavily armored Speeder that VE used on assault missions. It was bristling with weapons that would make any opponent crap themselves anyone except Jelly. Reacting quickly he pulled off all the explosive grenades he had along with Saph’s and threw them into the speeder. Jelly then placed all the explosive charges that he had on the engine of the speeder. He turned as the Heavy Speeder crushed through the trees and barreled towards him. Jelly threw an EMP grenade at the speeder causing it to short out for a moment before rebooting and slammed his own speeder into reverse diving out of it.

“Bye Bye.” He yelled as he hit the thirty second timer on the charges and made a run for it.

The rest of the Squad had already retreated to a safe distance in the tree line as Jelly came diving over the cover followed by a huge explosion that engulfed the trees behind him. Jelly got up and dusted himself off looking at the others who stared at him in disbelief.

“Sorry I felt the need to blow something up.” Jelly said beaming at the rest of the group who all just shoke there heads and prepared to move out again.

“Well I thought it was nice.” Saph said jokingly to him

“Well at least I’m not completely useless now am I?” Jelly asked as he toke up position behind her.

“Almost Jelly Almost.” Saph replied as if trying to hurt his ego.

“I’ll take that as a compliment then.” He said sarcastically putting out a small flame that had started on his shoulder.

"Alater , put that out' ordered Riqimo. He knew that when someone was smoking in front of Wicket , Wicket was tempted to do the same. Lucky looked at Wicket , then back at Riqimo , both were standing there silent.

"Glad you decided to help out Wicket" she called out with a smaile as she picked off the last few guards with Gio and Alater.  as the numbers decreased , she slowed down jsut to have a bit of fun. when there was one last man left , he turned around and started running. She placed a shot right in between his shoulder blades, and the man went down with a crash.

She knew he wasn't dead , but she didn't shoot him to finish him off. She wanted gim to die slowly , so that he could see what happened when you messed wit hthe people from the Vast Empire.

She could hear him breathing , loud , raspy breaths. At one point, a short howl came out of his mouth and he died. She looked at the body for another second before turning around and facing Wicket.

"I'd like to know where the man came from , Wicket"

"As do I" Gio and Riq said at the same time.

"follow me" Wicket answered , and with that , he led them down the hallway he had taken.

“So... Why the pants Doc?” Gio shouted over the sound of the fight, Riq keeping a close watch on Ptaph, while the heavier hitters cut through the bulk of the opposition; Alater and Gio were making quick work of the unorganized opposition .

“Was wondering that myself, Death Leader,” Alater hissed as he knocked a soldier against the wall, rendering him unconscious with a nasty concussion.

“Long story,” Riq shrugged as he edged Ptaph forward, “Let’s just say I did a little miscalculating in a stunt.  I’ll show you another time when we are clear.”

Gio blinked at first, not quite certain what the commander meant, but gathered it was something typical from how Alater gave a somewhat casual nod to his Death Leader.  Not that it was a time to go into explanations, guarding a prisoner and fighting desperate soldiers that felt the sting of failure coming upon them.  Storm Platoon wasn’t making it any easier and plowing though them until finally they managed to break out a final door and Riq took a deep breath of the crisp damp outdoor air.  He didn’t think he would have been glad to see the rain, but he savored the cooling sensation that each droplet provided from the warm interior of the facility, especially the cramped lower levels.

“Dax, see about calling that shuttle out here, Wicket if you can call up Jelly and the rest of the gang, let them know that we are grouping back up as soon as possible.”

Wicket led the group down the hall to the room where he attempted to place the mine. "Well this is where it was. Ill tell you what happened. So I came over here cause I didn't feeling like shooting anymore. So anyway I figured I'd place a mine an-" Wicket was cut off from Alater.

"Watch out Wicket!" Alater yelled as he pulled out his blaster and shot at the guard who came around the corner. Wicket ducked and rolled down the entire hall. He hit the wall at the dead end and looked up. The group was all the way at the other end, all staring at him.

"Wicket. Get back here." Riqimo said, sighing. "You don't need to exaggerate everything."

"My bad Dr. Riqi." Wicket got up and brushed himself off. He went down the hall to meet up with the other group members. "So, as I was saying. I placed the mine and a man came bursting through the door. He was like a giant! It looked like he wanted to rip me to shreds. So I back up and run for my life. Then I threw my backpack at him and we both went flying backwards. Scariest moment of my life." Wicket said, trying to catch his breath for he was talking fast.

"Is that really what happened?" Lucky asked, skeptical.

"Well, somewhat." Wicket replied. "Anyway this is the door, but I don't think anymore are in there. I'm not checking." There was a slight moment of silence. "Where is Jelly Belly and them. anyway?"

Everyone shrugged. "Probably trying to find something to destroy." Doc said.

Wicket took out his comlink and messaged Jelly. "Jelly, You guys alright? We are coming to meet up with you right now or pretty soon. So finish up what you are doing so we don't have to do anything." Wicket chuckled.

The Squad continued their trek through the forest to the rendezvous with Doc’s team. Thought they had no clear fix on where the group was and communications had failed to reach them. Jelly as always was on the point of the group keeping his bionic eye scanning for heat signatures.  The sensor in his eye flashed a warning at twelve meters.

“Kami we might have some resistance up ahead.” Jelly sent back with giddiness in his voice.

“Are you always so excited to kill someone?” She asked scoffing at his excitement.

“Yeppers Sir.” He replied taking up his sniper scope scanning the movement.

“Well what do you see?” came her question after a brief pause.

“Maybe about Six guys whoops now Five.” Jelly replied as he toke a shot at one trooper who was using the bathroom.

Jelly pulled back the firing pin allowing the empty shell to fly out of the chamber and a new round to load into place. The enemy returned fire trying in the confusion to pinpoint the enemy with random burst of fire. Someone from his group could be heard swearing as they had been most likely shot. Jelly cursed his clumsiness at picking the wrong target.

A sharp crack whipped past Jelly’s head as the tree next to him exploded. The damage from the bullet could have only come from a Sniper. This was the kind of challenge Jelly had waited for a Trooper with guts.  He quickly sighted  the gun and found the sniper who had tried to take him out. Another shot rang pas this head causing Jelly to figure out how sloppy this man was. Jelly centered on the middle of his mass and fired blowing a hole in the man’s chest. He fell backwards out of the tree and hit the ground hard. 

"Jelly, You guys alright? We are coming to meet up with you right now or pretty soon. So finish up what you are doing so we don't have to do anything." Came a crackle from his comm.

“Finally.” Jelly sighed

“Kami I have made contact with Gamma they’re coming to meet us.” Jelly yelled back killing another trooper.
