"Roger that i'm swooping outside the Anti air Gunnery Range" Animus cursed his stupidity under his breath, but still he was confounded by the strategy, an invasion where he had to leave the defense stations undamaged? This was a change of strategy.... He was going to get chewed out by his superiors later maybe even killed for his incompetence.. but for now he needed to make sure that Anti air Gunnery position would not flak his friends... but he couldn't destroy it.. Very well then... His fighter either way could not do anything, now we was being flaked and blasted. Evasive maneuvers would not cut it. No time to be subtle now.
Animus swooped down between the Two Cannons of the Anti air artillery position and took the ship 90 meters outside the position behind a massive shipyard Crane and placed the ship down. Popping open the Canopy of his Z-95 Headhunter surrounded by blaster fire at both exposed sides of the crane. They really noticed him... oh well. The Position was 80 meters away, metal boxes and and crates were scattered all around in the direction of the Gunnery Position. He was no longer in his fighter, It was his first time in a very real warzone. If one way or the Other this would be his last battle... So be it, let it be a dance of fire and blood.
Animus Grabbed his blade in one hand and his Standard blaster in the other and dived behind one of the metal crates picking off two Guards with his Blaster before ducking back into cover.
Two guards taking cover behind metal boxes upon seeing Animus looked at each other and Ran towards the position flaking him on both sides letting loose a volley from their rifle blasters.
Animus Used the force on the Metal box he had been using as cover and launched it into one of the guards while he shot the other one with his blaster. Immediately out of cover, the Machine gun position outside the Gunnery position locked on to him and let rip a chain gun of power upon animus. He bolted, running with the Blaster shots bouncing behind his heels and dashed behind a large metal crate 4 feet from the dead guard he had just blasted.
It was then they caught his position and began to take heavy fire, Mortar fire, and Fire from what appeared to be a heavy Vehicle.
Metal Shrapnel shot up from every side and one managed to pierce his leg. Wincing from the pain he noticed he was being set upon big time. The Crate was caving, and both sides of the metal were being shot by the Gunnery position. Maybe... it was never such a good idea to set an entire defended position solo.. it was now he chuckled and wished he had stayed in the fighter. The only thing he thought of was to meditate, Blaster rounds and Shrapnel around him, Blasters slowly caving the Metal Crate that was the only reason he was still alive, but the Position was not only 25 meters away.... but he could feel a flanking maneuver come. If it did, we was as good as Bantha Fodder.
Still... he meditated, loud metal crunched. He meditated, The Metal crate was now almost fully caved in. He Meditated.
But before the Metal Crate was completely destroyed... the desire to impress whatever Master could be watching him took him over.
More than the concern of Mortality or death, was the concern of Futility and weakness... Animus Laughed knowing he was going to Enjoy this...
Stepped on top of the Metal crate surrounded by blaster fire, he used a small force Jump to land on the Machine gun position. The Guards eyes were priceless... Terror in their eyes.
"BLAST HIM" They yelled Converging all fire upon him from all directions, but Animus had expected it. Stabbing one guard through the chest he put his blaster in the forehead of the Machine Gunner and blasted spilling his brain matter all over the Gun. The Two Guards Closest to the Gunnery position fired at him from In front of the Metal crate he had jumped from. Animus used the force to throw one of the Guards who was 7 feet from the other against the other guard. It worked but one of the Guards blasters sliced his cheek.
No sooner did he do that than the Anti Air gunnery position shut down and sent its personnel against him 6 Guards, as he could tell spewed from the Gunnery Position which was protected by a wall 16 feet big of Very thick metal. The door to the Position was a whole in the Metal wall 12 feet tall and 6 feet wide that was close to the wall of the Main hangar behind the position.
Animus Sprung into action, Force jumping from his position. These guards were better trained he could tell... They did not chase after him, but held their Formation, front line kneeled down all aimed and fired. The blaster shots were aimed at a jumping animus, a hard target to shoot. Animus Rolled into a Ball in mid air as he landed in the middle of the 6 guards and swerved around with his Blade. Animus did not own a lightsaber yet, not even a loaned or rented one... he considered himself not ready to wield one just yet. An untrained hand wielding a lightsaber is a danger to himself as much as the enemy. But the Sith Relic Blade he wielded although primitive and now more of an Ornament was Animus training weapon... and he had learned how to use it to kill...
With his Juyo he twirled it around slashing and stabbing at the confused guards, now in panic as their formation had been broken. One Guard took a slice to the Neck and choking on his own blood kept blasting on his way down hitting a comrade in the Thigh, As that guard cried out in pain and started falling Animus Thrusted his blade in his chest, spun around and blasted a Guard in the Groin. The Blast caused the guard to howl in pain and the other guard to look at their comrade for a slight second. A Second animus used to sweep a low kick and kick down 2 guards and as he stepped up from his Kneeling position thrusted the last guard in the chest killing him instantly, quickly shot the two downed guards finishing the job. 1 Guard was left in excruciating after the blaster shot to his groin, and Animus Ignored him, stepping over him methodically blaster and Sword in hand through the hole/door to the Flak gun position. 3 Guards were there Oblivious to his presence, thinking the Guards outside to have done the job... Animus Stabbed the Main gunner from the back as he readied the next shell, then shot both of the other two guards with his blaster before looking around the Anti Air Flak Gun to see if there was any company left.... All clear.
"This is Specter one, 2nd AA flak gun has been captured. No damage to the gun as requested. "
It was easier to just destroy things.... But it was not as useful as other means... Animus had learned a valuable lesson this day. [member="Darth Callidus"][member="Darth Veles"] [member="Darth Ophidia"] [member="Vengeance"]
