Hunting Hunters

[Mrrew]

​

A sleek grey freighter jumped out of hyperspace over the semi-famous jungle moon of Dxun. Mrrew stumbled to his feet as the ship lurched out of hyperspace, gazing out one of the many viewports of his ship down to the green surface below him, as the ship began to land He'd learned about the moon on the holonet- looking for something profitable to hunt. Preferably something that dosen't fling him across a forest and break his arm. According to the holonet, this moon was filled with deadly creatures, luckily less deadly then the Terentatek, that he could hunt. Namely, the Malraas. If the holonet was accurate, their bones were immune to energy weapons, which means they're worth a bit more then a few credits. The holonet also said they're easy to kill... for the mandalorians, at least. So how hard could it be?

The Togorian lifted his pack- significantly smaller then the one he used in the shadowlands, he didn't plan on being in the jungles that long- on to his back, and removed his brand new hyperion rifle from the case he kept it in. He'd bought it off the holonet, hoping that it didn't take so long to charge, like the shatter boltgun in his pack did. According to Holopedia, the Malraas were pack hunters. Meaning, he had to shoot quickly... "It can't be hard... the mandalorians can do it, right?" The Togorian shook his head to clear himself of doubt, before stepping down the ramp of his ship, leaving his EMBU droid to guard the ship. Mrrew glanced around the jungle before him, listening for a moment to the various animal sounds- birds, treefrogs, and farther, deeper sounds- before stepping from the clearing he landed in, to trek in to the jungle.

Caranarac silently glided throughthe dense jungles of the lush planet. He had been here for hours, searching the area for anything of use to the Colony. So far he had found nothing. And then he felt it. There was another being on this planet. They had just arrived, but they were nearby. He knew it in the force. He followed the telepathic signal he felt until he came upon a large white cat. The cat was far shorter than him, seeing as he was four meters tall, but the cat was still large. He immediately began practicing the art of K'tara, stealthily stalking the cat. At a random time, he suddenly leapt forward at the cat, switching from the martial art of K'tara to the martial art of K'thri, raining down swift blow after blow, his arms moving faster than the eye can perceive. He didn't know who this cat was, but he didn't want him to get away and start telling tales of rogue Killik master martial artist.

Mrrew had only been walking through the jungles of Dxun for less then an hour, before the insectoid attacked. The Togorian only had time to raise his rifle, before his attacker was on him, raining blows from all angles. "What the fe--" Mrrew was flung aside by a paticularly strong blow from the massive mantoid, crashing through the brush and hitting the ground with a sharp thud. He slowly looked up from the ground at the monster before him. He'd never seen a Killik, or even an insectoid alien, before. And he hadn't read about any monsters like this, on Holopedia. Was this some predator not native to Dxun? The Togorian slowly rose to his feet from the brush, scanning the bushes for wherever his rifle may have fell. Not seeing his weapon, he turned his sensed to the giant before him. "Pretty big, aren't you..." The Togorian braced himself for another charge, his eyes contantly flickering over the clearing for any sign of his rifle. He just hoped this thing wasn't blaster-proof.

Caranarac clacked his mandibles menacingly, glaring down at the unarmed creature. "Really? I am?" He responded telepathically, seeing as he had no mouth. He stepped closer to the fallen cat, before becoming the cat to stand so that they could fight on fair terms. He stepped back and took up a Velanarian Boxing stance. Velanarian boxing was designed specifically for creatures with four arms, like him. He could see that the cat was obviously searching for his gun, but even if he did get to it, it wouldn't be in time to save his life. He then began to wonder if he should actually kill the cat. But he realized that the survival of the Colony had to stay a secret, so he would have to kill him in the name of the Colony. Also, even if the cat shot him with the blaster, his chitinous armor would protect him from the worst of the blasts. But not from all of the effects.

Cor slowly pushed himself through the vines when he heard something fly through brush. He slowly turned, raising his Grade blaster pistol. However, he was unaware of the beast that was behind all that brush and grass. Whatever made that sound was probably not the smallest creature in the world. He slowly holstered his pistol and removed his blaster rifle. He slowly stepped forward, pushing away some leaves and vines when he saw the creature. "You got to be farking kidding me", He thought to himself. He saw Mrrew, laying on the jungle floor. [member="Caranarac Cerilisksileric"]. He slowly army crawled behind a larger tree and slowly grabbed onto a branch. He lifted up his leg, stepping on a branch and pulling himself up. He stopped when he had a decent angle and he slowly raised his rifle. He slowly moved the blaster over to the creature, looking down the black scope. He quickly pulled the trigger but the bolt when right past the creature and just ended up striking a tree. He quickly grabbed onto one of the branches and went back down but it was probably too late. It was very unlikely that he managed to fire a bolt right past the beast's head without it noticing. When he reached the bottom, he crouched down behind the tree, inhaling and exhaling heavily.

The Togorian's jaw literally dropped as the telepathic voice echoed in to his head, stumbling back due to the Killik's voice. "Wh- What the..." The Togorian blinked as the bug took a pose reminiscent of a boxing stance. So it wasn't a monster. It was... What was it? Mrrew blinked at [member="Caranarac Cerilisksileric"] again, keeping an eye out for his blaster among the shrubbery. "Can you understand me?" Mrrew spoke, trying to buy time, and slowly slid his pack off his back. To the Killik, he hoped, it would just look like he was trying to shed extra weight, in case of a fight... In reality, h rembered his shattergun that was in the top of the pack. If only he coudl get to it... Before being ripped apart by this thing's mandibles. "You don't really want t fight me... do you? I wasn't bothering you..." He slowly stepped backwards, over his pack, so that the pack was between him and the Killik. If only he could get his shattegun... That's when he heard the slugthrower shot. Mrrew frantically looked around for any sign of the shooter, but didn't see anything through the dense brush. Hopefully, it was somebody that could kill this thing before it killed him...

[Cor Latch]

He felt an urge to help this hunter, yes he was a compeiter but Cor still had a heart. He slowly crawled over to [member="Mrrew"] once again, and reached into his sachel. He removed his Grade blaster pistol and slid it over to Mrrew. He was hoping that the noise from the brush as the gun hit it would make his compeiter glance over.

 

[Caranarac Cerilisksileric]

The Killik laughed when the cat asked if he could understand it. Well, it wasn't really a laugh, just a scratchy y sound. He clacked his mandibles again and was about to answer the cat's second question, when a blaster bolt flew straight past his head. He turned and saw an Ithorian hastily scramble behind a nearby tree. He felt something that might have been the hint of anger, but he knew he didn't have emotions. He flipped forward, landing in front of the tree the Ithorian was behind, turning his back to the cat. He ignored the noise behind him, thinking maybe the cat was shifting weight, unaware that it was the Ithorian sliding his gun over to the cat. He cut the tree trunk in half, hoping to catch the Ithorian unawares with a powerful slash of his mandibles that severed the tree.

Mrrew blinked at the bug as it turned, and then quickly looked down hearing the sound of the blaster pistol. ...And suddenly blaster pistols fall from the sky. Not beliving his luck, the Togorian quickly bent over, swiping up the blaster pistol, and raising it towards the turned Killik. Not giving his insectoid advesary a moment to turn, he fired three times, in the center of the Killik's back, hoping it would pierce the exoskeleton. At least, whetever this thing was, it was distracted easily...

"OH-" He shouted as the tree fell to the ground with a loud thump. He raised his rifle at [member="Caranarac Cerilisksileric"] and took a step back. He flipped the small switch on the bottom of the gun, which set the weapon to kill instead of stun. He waited for this beast to just turn around and go after @Mrrew. "Ok Cor, deep breaths...I-I got this!" He thought to himself as he inhaled and exhaled heavily. He put his finger on the trigger and took a quick glance to the right as some small creature ran through the bushes. He took another step back before firing a warning shot into the air. "GET BACK!" He shouted.
(OOC: thanks Mrrew!)

 

[Caranarac Cerilisksileric]

Caranarac grunted and then hissed as three blaster bolts slammed into his exo-skeleton. He turned to see the cat with the smoking gun in hand and leapt at him, spinning and twirling in the air to avoid further injury. He grabbed the severed tree trunk in his four and effortlessly threw it at the quaking Ithorian, and then landed in front of the cat, slicing at him with his mandibles and attacking him with the powerful and possibly lethal moves of Wrrushi, a martial art developed by the wookies that was all about brute force.

[Cor Latch]

He jumped back when he saw [member="Caranarac Cerilisksileric"] throw the tree trunk at him. He still screamed in agony as it hit his legs, pinning him down to the forest floor. He dropped his gun when the trunk hit him and was attempting to pull himself out but failed. He reached for his blaster rifle but it was too far. His hand was right at the handle but his arms were not long enough. "YOU FARKING NERF-HERDER!" He shouted, angrily.

Luckily, the monster's mandibles hit Mrrew's katarn leather vest, only shredding the vest- but allowing the Togorian to survive. Next, he was flung through the air by the Wrrushi attack, slamming hard in to a tree and crumpling to the ground. "What the feth are you..." The Togorian pushed himself to his feet, noticing the bruising that was already forming on his ribs. "Kriffing monster... Worst then the Terentatek..." The Togorian said under his breath, quickly moving behind one of the thick trees in hope that the massive insectoid couldn't get to him behind cover. He'd dropped the pistol when he was flung... Fantastic, two blasters lost. The Togorian quickly made his way to where he'd left his pack, hoping the insect would be distracted by the Ithorian that had saved his life...

[Caranarac Cerilisksileric]

Caranarac clacked his mandibles in anger when the Togorian survived his attack, and once again projected his thoughts out, but this time into the minds of both creatures. "I am Caranarac, the Great Body, the guardian of the Great Colony, right mandible of The Great Mind." He said. He paused momentarily, trying to decide on which of his opponents to attack. He decided, and threw a boulder off at the tree that the togorian had decided to hide behind, and then paced up to the fallen Ithorian. He grabbed the log in one hand and the creature in the other, tossing the log aside. Holding the Ithorian in all four of his claws, he snapped his mandibles dangerously close to his face, preparing to tear open his chest.

He started sweating more and more and was about to panick when he remembered what his mother had told him as a child "You panick, you die". He slowly reached into his coat and quickly removed his dagger and attempted to jam it into the creature's right eye, right as he yelled "YOUR ONE UGLY FETHER!"

[Mrrew]

Mrrew attempted to dodge the boulder, but was again distracted by the telepathic speech, allowing the boulder to skim across his legs as he was trying to dive out of the way. This send his dive spiraling out of control, and filled the air with a sickening snapping sound when the boulder hit his leg. Mrrew landed on the far side of the clearing, his leg visibly broken. Mrrew screamed in pain and rage. "You motherkriffing fether!" The Togorian tried to push himself in to a sitting position, only discovering the combined pain of his broken leg, and bruised ribs. That's when he saw the hyperion rifle. It was in the brush right near where he landed... he just had to reach for it. So, while the Killik was fighting the Ithorian, Mrrew reached for the hyperion rifle, grunting in pain from his ribs.

[Caranarac Cerilisksileric]

Caranarac flung the Ithorian hard into a tree at the last moment, the knife glancing harmlessly off his hard exo-skeleton. It may not be able to completely absorb blasters, but simple kinetic attacks were of no threat to him. He turned to see the togorian reaching for his rifle, but knew he couldn't stop him. Instead he back flipped away from the togorian, disappearing into the trees, using all he had learned about stealth, he slowly glided around behind the togorian, making no sound. "You know you cannot stop me. Join the Colony. We are not evil. We are tired of the mistreatment of aliens, especially insectoids, around the Galaxy." He said. "All we want is freedom." He said, emerging silently from behind the togorian, close enough so that he could swat away the blaster rifle if need be.

@Mrrew (Yes, you are. )

He shouted in pain as he hit the tree and he hit the ground, still screaming. "MY FARKING, FARKING, FARKING, FARKING, FARKING, FARKING BACK!" He shouted like a maniac as he felt accruciating pain throughout his back. He put his hand behind his back and lightly tapped it but it caused more pain. He gritted his teeth and slowly looked over to his weapon. It was either lay here and die, or grab the gun and probably die. He started crawling towards the weapon, grunting and moaning each time he moved. When he finally made it to his rifle, he slowly pulled it up, and slid back up against a tree. He lazily rested his back on the tree, raising his weapon. He fired four shots at the chest of the insectoid, due to it standing directly behind [member="Mrrew"]

[Mrrew]

Mrrew's eyes widened, amazed to see a fourteen foot tall monster... backflip. By the time the Killik got anywhere close to Mrrew, he already had the rifle in both hands, ready to fire. "Where the feth did you go?!" The angry togorian flicked his ears around, looking for any sign of the insectoid. The telepathic voice came again, catching him off guard. Mrrew looked around frantically, trying to find where the monster had blended in with the jungle... "Where are you?!" He kept his finger on the rifle's trigger, ready to fire at a moment's notice.... "Where the kriff did you go?!" How could something as big as this monster, be this quiet? How? Cor's firing directly behind Mrrew alerted him to where the alien was, and he flung himself forwards, to avoid being grabbed by the insect. This resulted in him yelling in pain as his broken leg hit the ground, hard. He lay on his back, looking up at the alien that towered over him. But he still had the rifle. Mrrew quickly raised the weapon, holding the trigger down for the weapon's unqiue sustained blast. A beam of energy flew from the end of the weapon, most likely striking the Killik in the chest. A beam strong enough to punch through armor. A beam strong enough to severly injure Caranararc.

Caranarac used his acrobatic abilities to dodge the first three shots, and hissed as he was hit by the third. He summoned the power of the force within him and generated a telekinetic shove so powerful it ripped the shrubbery up by it's roots. The attack drained him, though, and he sunk to his knees before collapsing from complete exhaustion. He tried to fight off the murky void of unconsciousness, but failed. He dropped to the ground right next to [member="Mrrew"] .
