A Walk to Remember (Dominion of Maravin)

Bellalika had been remaining very still as she moved about. It wasn't enough for her to have some weapons all she wanted to do was stay hidden until the right moment and she had found it... Maybe or at least she had found a good enough moment in the fighting to sneak around. her mentalism becoming something of a burden only because of everything else going on around her. She needed to find a nice place to focus and breathe until her people had calmed down. Or failing that until she had an opening to wreck some stuffs.
 
No imperialist invasion would be complete without a space elf! After all, Eldorai were haughty, smug, arrogant and thought they were chosen by the Goddess to conquer the Galaxy, subjugate all humans in general and all malelings especially. Admittedly...the whole imperial manifest destiny thing had not worked out well. Kaeshana belonged to the Protectorate, which now had a Lord Protector....of whom Kaida had heard nothing. So she had left their services and doing what she did best, getting paid for killing and freezing people.

Dressed in her traditional Angelii battle armour, worn proudly, Kaida was advancing with a platoon of stormtroopers through the streets of the city. Heavy blaster fire was shot their way as militiamen put them under fire from craters that ironically enough had mostly been created by bombs dropped from Imperial gunships, a distinctive whoosh was heard as RPGs were fired by militiamen from the windows of often dilapidated and partly ruined houses, explosions resonating across the street.

The stormtroopers took cover behind the wreckage, furiously answering the assault with salvoes of blaster fire, streaks of crimson bolts shooting through the air, e-webs being set up to fire a barrage that cut down militiamen. At a signal from the stormtrooper commander mortars barked out shells and grenade launchers thoomped. Cries of pain were heard as militiamen were blown to shreds, often sent flying through the air, the wall of a building was blown apart by an explosion. While suppressive fire was rained down upon the defenders, some of the stormtrooper squads broke formation to flank the militiamen, but then some of them had realised this and turned their fire to them, radioing reinforcements and soon the earth was shaken as mortars fired, stormtroopers cried out as incendiary shells were rained down upon them and they were caught in the flames.

Kaida wielded her lightsabre deftly to deflect shots, trying to act as a shield for the troopers, but there was only so much she could deflect, reflecting rounds back to the shooters and hearing a satisfying cry as one of the officers was struck in the leg and arm. As militiamen broke cover and advanced, charging with suicidal courage across the ground, covered by repeater fire, she focused as she harnessed her Sciia and manipulated the moisture in the air.

Pearls of frost appeared on her skin and lips, to an outsider it would look like she was suffering from a severe case of frostbite, then the temperature started to rapidly drop. The first signs of frost appeared on the ground and upon the walls, liquid formed upon the streets as they turned slippery, with militiamen tripping, making them easy prey for the entrenched stormtroopers as they opened up a hailstorm of laser rounds. But Kaida was not done as she directed her powers outward. A cold chill engulfed the area, a gust of cold wind forming that tore through the street, so powerful that soldiers retreated. The clouds seemed to break as the cold set in and snow and icicles rained down from the sky, caught in the tempest and, as Kaida, sank further into the Force, guided towards the enemy positions. The horizon seemed to disappear completely as a whiteout set in, visibility strongly suffering. Militiamen found their visors blocked by snow and some would be so bombarded that they might freeze.
 
Junko had chosen to scout ahead, namely in one of the speeder but she still watched what was happening as she moved letting the white current cloak her and her movements. She didn't want to be revealed just yet when she didn't have a storm trooper legion and smirked to herself. while the other were fighting outside and doing what brutes did best. She moved grabbing one of the Valan and dragging them away into a building as she snapped his neck.

There was nothing like a close-quarters firefight to make you remember how to handle a blaster. This was the main thought in Cyrus' mind as he shot a Maravin defender square in the chest, sending the man's body twitching to the floor. He didn't stop moving, only breaking stride to fire another shot into the head, to make sure he native was really dead. It was one of those basic rules of a firefight that couldn't be taught, only learned the hard way. He'd seen far too many good soldiers killed by a supposedly 'dead' enemy who wasn't.

One street clear, as least mostly, one more to go. Each step it's own, each passage the last one. That was the mentality you had to adopt in a boarding action. Or an LOI (Low Orbit Interdiction), which was a totally different situation altogether. Ah, the joys of physically leaping from one flying speeder to another at 80,000 feet. The thought 'to be young again' entered Cyrus' mind for a second before he banished it. The young were stupid, foolish, and prone to reckless decision making. All things that made them horrible commanders. Useful to have them around of course (after all, someone needs to die for the cause) but Cyrus didn't miss his youth anymore than he missed having color in his hair.

The soldier on point kicked open a door, and Cyrus went in first, gun up. Something moved in front, and Cyrus snapped two shots. He didn't bother to check as the figure crumpled to the ground, the second man would cover that, just continued sweeping his weapon across the room and back again.

Clear.

The figure was a young woman, dressed in something like the standard style for civilians of the city. Clearly not a soldier, though that was true for most of the defenders as well, but she hadn't been armed at all. For a moment, the room was still, then Cyrus turned away and moved on. He had no pity, the city had been given a chance to surrender and failing that, had more than ample warning that an attack was coming. He was a man who knowingly sent tens of thousands to their deaths on a regular basis. The cost of war was in blood and the tears of grieving parents and widows. Those who imagined anything less were fools.
 
Somarae got inside the building and behind a shop counter before any of the militia spotted them. Blaster fire scorched the wall less than a meter over the chiss's head, and she ducked down behind the counter, gritting her teeth and reaching for her pistol. She leaned closer to the corner, doing her best to push past the mild fog still settled over her thoughts. Her discipline began to take over, her attention leaving what she could immediately see.

Five man fire team. Taking up positions to flush us out. Two on each side, fifth just around the right corner.

She leaned her head and shoulder out for just a moment, snapping off a short burst of rounds. The militia returned fire, but a body dropped, two holes at center mass. Another cried out, but was only wounded before falling back out of Soma's line of sight.

Two on the right, one on the left. Leader isn't moving.

As the Chiss Inquisitor valiantly fought off her assailants, who tried to corner and flush her out, Moira emerged from the alleyway, moving quietly, barely making a sound upon the ground, but then an HRD was especially created for assassination. Two militiamen were in her field of view as she scanned the area her HUD picked up on the Chiss pilot firing at them.

Using the cover created by the firefight Moira advanced surreptitiously, coming ever closer. Almost at the last moment the troopers seemed to notice something was amiss as they spun, but then one of the militiamen was grabbed by the throat and in a short motion his neck was snapped like a twig. The other trooper turned and with a war cry opened fire with a burst, peppering the HRD with laser rounds. The impact of the rounds made her twitch and shake slightly, but but still holding his comrade by the throat she simply shot him with a blaster pistol in the leg and chest, then hurled his dead comrade straight at him, the corpse smashing onto his head. At the trooper lay there, injured and clutching his burnt wounds, she approached him and stomped her boot upon his throat, crushing it. A burst transmission was sent to Somarae. "Reinforcement arriving. What is your status?"
 
The powerful wind swept across the street, carrying the snow. Militiamen were blinded, others would suffer frostbite as the temperatures dropped so strongly. Kaida exerted herself, but by now she had become rather proficient in the art of cryokinesis, and so the snow was gathered by the strong wind that blossomed into a tempest, bombarding their opponents. Disorientated and blinded they were easy prey as the fire of lasers and mortars now accomplished what snow had begun and relentlessly bombarded the defenders.

Under the heavy fire the snow began to melt into liquid but Kaida, not done yet, sunk deeper into the Force and drew on her Sciia, cold steam escaping her mouth as she waved her hand, taking control over the liquid and sending it crashing into the militia like a tidal wave that grew ever stronger, crashing into them and sending them flying or drowning them. Some troopers were smart and lucky enough to escape into the neighbouring buildings, but this was to no avail as Imperial mortars thoomped out shells, bombarding them and blasting the walls to pieces. From the flanks Imperial light Walkers approached, their laser cannons spewing out a barrage of death. Kaida took a breath, gazing upon the carnage, then swiftly advanced with the stormtroopers, finding it easy to walk upon the slippery and wet ground despite her heavy armour. Her yellow lightsabre batted laser rounds that came their way out of the air, creating a zone of denial. The cold chill wrapped itself around her like a cloak and she welcomed it, muttering a short prayer to Ashira as they moved forward. It would not be long before the town had fallen - and then she would get paid.

They were close. Cyrus didn't need to look at the map to see it, the sound of a gun battle reached him clearly from a block away. There were other friendlies converging on the position as well, and he considered for a moment whether or not to break off from here and head towards a more important objective. But it would've felt wrong to leave a task unfinished, so pressing on was the word of the day.

The squad was currently in two groups, with one providing covering fire on the enemy position and the other, including Cyrus, advancing from building to building to get around the entrenched Maravini. Cyrus glanced outside just in time to see a Valen native raise some archaic missile launcher and fire it at the troops in cover. The warhead struck a low stone wall and exploded, sending the soldier crouched flying back into a wall, knocking the two near him to the ground. Without waiting for an order, the troops with Cyrus charged out of the building they were in, flanking the Valen and cutting into their position with lethal blaster fire. Caught by surprise, the defenders died quickly.

The soldier who'd been hit was dead. His armor had held, but the concussive force had broken his spine. The position was marked so the body could be recovered later, and then the squad moved on.

Rexus finished off his opposition quickly and moved to the crash site quickly, "Friendly moving in!" he yelled as he slid into the ship's crushed cockpit. There was nothing though, no pilot no gunner it was empty! Where could they of gone? Rex sat back and inside the ship and sighed. The thunder of war still going on around the crashed ship, quickly he rested and tended to the burnt skin on his chest. "I hate my job." he looked down at his chest and began to heal what he could through the force. He couldn't contact the downed pilot the best he could do is try to feel her through the force in the midst of all this chaos. Fat chance of that happening though

Rounding a corner, the squad finally caught site of the downed Hellhawk gunship. It had not fared well in the crash, one wing was sheered off entirely and otherwise the vehicle was a wreck. It wouldn't do to give the Maravini even a chance of salvaging anything from it, so besides rescuing the pilots it was now also important to destroy the wreck. Fortunately the Force Recon carried proton charges as standard equipment, which would be more than adequate to perform the task at hand.

Aerial reconnaissance indicated several squads of Valen defenders moving in on the position, either to get a piece of the dead airspeeder or in reaction to the attempt to rescue the pilots. It didn't matter either way, they were coming and needed to be driven off or killed. It did make the pilot's position a bit more tenuous, though. Cyrus would have to act quickly and decisively. He sent a pair of troopers, his best shots, into a mostly stable looking building overlooking the wreck. The rest he split into two groups. One group would move from cover to cover and approach the wreck, then identify and secure the pilot and co-pilot. The other cover them, and aim to flush out enemy positions so they could more easily be taken out by the two sharpshooters.

Cyrus had scarcely given his orders when the first of the enemy units began to enter the square. From above, one of the sharpshooters snapped off a blaster shot, dropping a Maravin officer to the floor. His squad scattered, diving for cover. It'd take them a few minutes to get re-organized, but they weren't removed as a threat yet.

A little bit of support right about now really couldn't hurt.
