Demon's Run (Zeibitha)

There was something to be said for karma and Lorna looked through the scope of her rifle. THey had been chasing her for awhile, the woman who had betrayed them and survived, tracking her throughout the Republic and Havok squad here to the Silver Rangers and beyond. That was one of the things the tall woman wanted to rectify, they couldn't wipe away her training or her actions but they could swear the mining equipment here on Gromas with her hearts blood and she finished setting up.

They had worked to lure her and one of her associates here, the messages slightly garbled and taken from different sources then spliced together. What would normally take weeks and a razorblade taking hours and a computer before she motioned the garhoon tracker to go off and prepare. The abandoned phrik mining equipment here in the mines more then ready as the ship arrived overhead bringing them their old friend and Lorna ran a hand through her blonde dreads when the sight of Willa exited the ship into the desert came.

Off in the distance a dust trail followed after a speeder bike as it raced across the desert, it's rider barely visible as she leaned forwards on the bike and then slowed down as she came up on the ship just after it arrived at the abandoned mine.

Zreame leaned up off her bike as she stopped the bike, pulling her hood off her head revealing her horns to the baking sun over the desserts sands. Her goggles still on as she smiled a little, her tail moving from side to side behind her as she got off the bike. "So what did you need me for all the way out here... in the middle of nowhere?" She asked as she adjusted her swords tied at her back, for the bike ride and then pulled her goggles up to rest just above her forehead, leaving a clean spot were the goggles had been while the rest was a little dirty from all the dust that had been spiraled up into the air in front of her.

Lorna moved the equipment to hear, parabolic mics able to pick up the conversation as the team was moving i. The kid that Willa cost an arm and one of her proteges were approaching from the south with some heavy weapons as she heard the surprise in her voice. The vahla spoke starring at the other woman. "I didn't call you out here.... You contacted me." She showed the flimisil directions and she spoke into the comlink. "Converge now, target the speeders first and then push them towards the explosives. She moved to watch as the sound of gunfire went after the speeder and through the scope she fired smashing a slug into Willa's shoulder guard that sent her in a corkscrew back. If she had bones her collar bone might have been smashed while she was holding her smg and detached the rifle. "Not friends of yours I take it?"

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame went wide eyed when [member="Willa Isard"] told her she hadn't contacted her. "No I didn't.... oh drek..." She had just finished saying that when her speeder bike blew up and her friend got shot. "What the frakk is going on?!" She shouted as she drew her revolvers and sent four slugs, two from each, out towards the area where the next shots began to come towards them. "Get behind something!" She then shouted as she hurried to get into cover behind the wreckage of her speeder bike."Is it always like this around you?" She then said with a slight unnerved tone as she peered over her cover at the two men shooting at them.

She didn't fire a second shot, she could hear them at least now while the garhoon was getting into position and Willa popped her head out firing at her. The shot jerking just a little up and then down right into the rifles scopr as the woman spoke. "You know.... yeah it usually ends up like this. I think this might be....:" The mic cut out as it was hit with a shot and Lorna was looking with the kid. His cybernetic arm on the rifle and holding another mic for his comlink. "Yep there is Dutch... still hasn't gotten a good replacement for his arm." The nerve of her... Lorna shouted into the comlink as they found Willa's frequency. "Oh you." The sound as the kid Dutch opened fire taking a revolver slug to his arm was there. They were moving now and Willa spoke itno the comlink and to Zreame. "Lorna... and daddy should be somewhere nearby... come on now setting traps. Not like you and luring high class workers for major arms corporations. I don't think your weapon theft is going to be helped."

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame stared at [member="Willa Isard"] for a few moments. "Wait you know these people?! then why the FRAK are they shooting at us?" The unnerved Cernun said loudly before taking a piece of what was left of the speeder bike and throwing it over it and used the force to guide the piece down on top of Dutch's head but she missed by a mile. She wasn't good at using the force in such situations and what she had been using it for either internal boosting of her body or was used to cheat during gambling and that was about it. "I take it they used to be friends of yours?" She then said as a few shots ricocheted of her makeshift cover.

"Old squad but they were double dipping, running guns for the hutts, protecting spice... You know things we were supposed to prevent." Dutch stood there with the rifle as he could hear the voices and stopped. The piece being thrown at him was still close enough to giv him pause cause last time he had lost his arm.... Now he wanted to make sure they lost something before shouting over the sound of slug and blaster shots. "Oh come on Willa we were making a living, not our fault you have those pesky morals or a code of honor." There was more sound and when he raised his hand for them to stop long enough to listen he wanted to see or hear something but nothing was coming. She seemed to be in that cover with the woman and not rising to the bait as easily.

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame placed her revolvers barrels on top of her cover and fired of two more shots, one from each. "Great so they are what? Mercenaries? or perhaps just PLAIN OLD SCUM!" She asked her comrade in their cover, though she shouted the last part so that the team could hear her. This was getting irritating to say the least, people that just attacked her for no apparent reason really ticked her off. Her hands were getting a little itchy as she fired of two more. 'Damn now there's only one shot left until the surprise...' She thought as she pulled her revolvers back and opened the cylinders to look or rather confirm how many shots there were left. In both of the chambers was one black round and another red one, her little surprises as she called them. [member="Willa Isard"] sure seemed to have it together in this situation, must be because of her background.

Dutch looked at her as he heard the words and didn't speak just reloaded as Belak arrived from the trap... not waiting anymore while the older soldier who had trained most of them waved with a rocket launcher and Willa shouted switching to her smg and getting out of the cover. "They got to be one or the other, at least they aren't smart." The shot went off and she was moving focusing on the slugs with the smg as it fired at the rocket and detonated it. Belak couldn't see through the smoke but Dutch could while they moved up and saw Willa trying to lead the way to some of the old abandoned imperial equipment.

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame used the change that [member="Willa Isard"] had provided and fired of two shots towards the last spot she had seen Belak at and then holstered them as she ran after Willa to get to the imperial equipment. "Great shot Willa." She said with a smile as she dashed towards the equipment. 'As interesting as this day had started out it was quickly becoming bothersome to say the least.' She thought as she dove for cover, a hope she wouldn't get shot because of the distance through no cover at all ran through her mind.

The airspeeder moved, the shot binging off of it as it was touching down with the others in the squad arriving. He could see Willa ducking itno cover of the large phrik mining equipment. He couldn't see Willa behind it or hear her but the rocket launcher was still in his hand and they were moving. The sight of dutch laying there with a pool behind his head in the sand had the old man crouching down as he grabbed his grenades and the ones were converging on the equipment. He spoke into the comlink. "Willa, looks like your friend got yours. Dutch always looked up to you and now he is laying here head split open.... So guess we're going to be coming for you harder now... Just hold tight." He couldn't see as he was looking on and was guessing Willa was working to try and set traps or work with the woman.

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame jumped over one large crate and then placed her back against it. "So what the hell do we do now?" She asked as she popped her cylinders open and sucked in her teeth and then holstered her revolvers at her thighs. She took hold of her swords and drew them and stuck them into the sand next to her so she could draw them much quicker than from her sheaths. "Tell me can we expect anything... well worse?" She then asked [member="Willa Isard"] as she heard Belak speak into their comlinks. 'Shit I only have one reload for either gun and I can't reload until I fire of the last rounds.' Zreame thought as she peered over the side of the crate to see what or who was approaching.

Lorna was watching and looking at them as she moved in towards the equipment and the remaining members of the team circled them. The garhoon scout going in next as she climbed up one of the crates as an explosion came out. Willa was standing there with the SMG below and the armatech grenade launcher under barrel attachment as she switched and changed it. The screams could be heard over as the woman in the sand was rolling around and Willa was speaking into the comlink. "Well mostly they are human, but all trained soldiers. The kid and her were the easier ones to deal with and they love their explosives." Lorna could see it as an explosion ripped into the side of the equipment and there was the side of the old mining gear falling into a section of tunnel that became exposed like a nerve.

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame saw the tunnel and pointed it out to [member="Willa Isard"] as she sheathed her swords again and pulled out her revolvers. "Go I have a surprise for them to cover us." She said as she then rolled out of her cover and let loose one of the dragons breath slugs towards Belak, running sideways towards the tunnel, and then after a few steps the other towards Lorna. The revolvers were then half useless as the Cernun sprinted towards the Tunnel, but miscalculated how far she'd have to be away to slow down and hit the tunnels wall hard and fell a little deeper into the tunnel. "Nhn ok at least it's not dislocated...." She groaned as she holstered one revolver and then began to reload the other, one slug at a time.

Dragons breath slugs

Lorna moved to the side, her HUD was working to calculate it as she was moving and there was a scream from Hitako while he was moving to the side with the explosives he had brought. They were ignited from the dragons breath before he was in the sand and the rumbling sound came. Lorna was moving with Black as the pair of them and Belak were still alive. The three moving towards the tunnel as Willa was moving with to try and help the woman run down the tunnel. They stood at the top and started firing shots off from assault rifles while avoiding explosives for now.... There was a plan after all somewhat but in a phrik mine wasn't the original idea before they were moving to give chase.

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame groaned a little as she kept moving down the tunnel and finished reloading one revolver and then began reloading the other. "I only have sixteen shots left, two of them dragons breath rounds. How about you?" She asked before tucking for cover as the assault rifles began firing down into the tunnel. A bullet grassed Zreame's shoulder but it only tore her clothes and left a little scratch behind. "Ok these guys won't stop at all huh? Any Ideas on how to get rid of them Willa cause I'm all ears." Zreame then said her face showing her ire at the whole situation, her body beginning to itch as her anger was growing little by little. Her eyes were directed towards [member="Willa Isard"] for a few moments before she looked for just a second out from her cover at their assailants.

"I have four rifle clips and eight for my smg.. I could keep this up all day." The voice was echoing down the tunnel as Black looked on. The youngest of the squad and most injured in terms of wanting to kill the woman in the tunnel. She was looking down there while bringing her hand to the blade on her back before she took off running into the tunnel. Her impatience working while she saw the two in cover and started firing off. From behind her the sounds of the two as they stopped firing and moved up into cover could be heard but they weren't being fumb as Black tried coming around the cover and felt the heat. The underbarrel flame attachment going off in her face as first she felt a jelly then it was hot and she was screaming while the sound of Willa speaking between gasps. "Poor kid, she always was to hotheaded and rushed. Two left."

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame ended the poor girls life when she was screaming and well.. ON FIRE! drawing her long sword and slicing the girls head off in a clean cut before going into cover again. "Well I could do that too Willa if they didn't have any ammo left either." She then said as she pulled out her night-vision goggles and put them on. 'At least now I can see again' She thought as she peered over the cover towards the other two and then towards [member="Willa Isard"] "Ok so two left. what can we expect from them? will they give up and leave after taking so many losses or just keep coming?" She asked as she took a tight grip on her sword, she could be relaxing on a beach with a drink in her hand right about now but instead she was stuck in a mine with a pair of psychopathic killers bearing down on her and her friend.

"She won't... at least not with her dad." Lorna could hear her in the comlink on Black's wrist while her father was moving forward. They were going in and out of cover as she saw Willa moving with her combat blade in her hands. The flames dancing off it before her father was giving chase with a spread of rifle fire. She could see some of the phrik from the mines on the ground in chunks as Willa appeared with bolo's in her hands while she swung them releasing them and the magna bolo's wrapped around her face smashing the plate into her nose as the warmth of blood gushed forward and she could hear something happening while she laid there.

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame stared back over her cover and then clicked her tongue a little as she enhanced her body with the force and charged in, drawing her scimitar and turning the blade backwards as she came up to Black and smashed the back end of the blade into her face in the same manner that a baseball player would hit a ball. A few rounds from the rifle hit her and tore some of her clothes, one hit her in the thigh and she limped over to a small crevice in on of the walls for cover. "Come on for frak's sake stop this already just take your daughter and go back." She shouted as she held onto her thigh with her free hand while using the scimitar as a makeshift crutch.
