Dominion &nbsp; Pirate Hunt | EE Dominion of Empty Hex

Arturo Braga

I try move fast as I can, and leap cover to cover, and go again a side of the bridge to attack from there with higher speed under they shoot down each other. But the other Gladiators fall down very fast, and the pirates too. Only few of them left and this meant to I get more and more attention, like I want. More shoot hit the cover or other object beside of me, and I felt the pain on my back and side when something hit me, or a bullet scratch my skin on my back.

I was lucky, but then I saw something, what changed everything. Somebody killed my owner… the captain… and this started a chain reaction.
First thing, to I am not his property anymore, so somebody else will get me.
Second thing come from the first, to nothing save me from the other pirates who want me dead long long time ago, because they lost a tons of money and they slaves, when I killed them. So when they release this they will shot me too.
Third thing to I can’t simple stop and surrender myself, because I attacked them and nobody care to this was only an order. This mean nothing…

Forth thing to this surprised me so bad, to I missed the move, and I get my reward very quick. I ran to an other cover when I saw my owner die, and I forget make some turn to the others can aim more harder, and I felt the pain when a pack of bullet hit my right front leg and my side too. My only lucky to it maybe hit something before, or I don’t know, maybe the distance was bigger and it spread more. But I don’t have time thinking on this, because my body move to the next cover, and the next leap was a punishment, when my full weight landed on my right front paw too, and I lost my balance. The next moment I impact into a console with big noise.
My paw and side hurt so bad. This is not the first time to somebody hit me with a ranged weapon, but this not help. It hurt like hell every time. If I can choice I like more when the opponent scratch my side or back with his/her claws, because I can bite back, but now The enemies can keep the distance. I try climb to a cover and check fast my wounds. I see my blood and the wounds are open. I now my body to I know more hit my muscles too, and only If I am enough lucky I have chance one attack, and it will painful.
Other thing to I lay here a little, and they shot me down here.
No… I try attack, I will not die this way. If I die today, I will do it like a warrior and not like a weakling.

Try stand up fast as I can, and try not step to my wounded front right leg, but I know, to I can leap and attack fast I will need do it. Sad thing to I never had to fight in my human form, only sometimes play a fight, but these were more like playful dances with fake weapons. More like rituals than ring fight.
I look around how many pirates live at the moment and I try find the best moment when the last survivors start fire again to the enemies. The only problem was, to I see a pirate too close to me and he see me too, and the chance too.
“845! Attack them, I order you!” I hear his yell and another situation maybe I push my face into my paws and start crying, but this is not that time. I need do something very fast.
I am sure to the enemies listened this too.

The big question who will shot me first?
I have the bad feeling to some soldier try get around me, to I have no chance runaway. With so many people I make this. More easier method and nowhere to hide.
Other problem to I left bloody paw prints on the floor and blood drops too, so very simple follow my trail for a people who never learned tracing. This mean to this is my only chance attack, but who will better. The soldiers who attacked the ship or the pirates.

“Attack you useless!” he shout me again and simple shoot beside of me, but he need go back to cover, and this is my chance. I try move fast as I can and leap a big and land on the pirate, to I push down to the floor and bite his neck. With cold empty eyes I close my jaw strong, to push deep my fangs into his neck and hold him down with my weight.
His blood fill my muzzle and I release his neck only when I fell his die.
I spit out his blood and go more cover to I can check again my bloody wounds and listen where are the soldiers and prepare myself in head to defence myself.
But I feel myself a little dizzy and sometimes everything go soo blurry. I don’t know how many time left but I will not give up the fight until I can stay on my paws.

Tristan gripped the armrests of his command chair as the milk y blue swirl of hyperspace was replaced with the brutal reality of war. Dead hulks of starships loomed and glistened in the light of warships exchanging turbolaser fire. A crooked grin appeared on the former Grand Admiral's mouth as he took in the hellish scene before him.

Sure, war may have been hell but he was a demon.

He took in a deep breath, as if breathing in the smoke and smog outside of the flagship before adressinf the Admiral who stood before him. "Incinerate them"

"Excellent, sir. Shall I inform Admiral Ghastt of the change in command"

"Yes" A puff of smoke escaped the Overseers clinched jaw as he spoke. His particular position was one of intimidation, designed to provide fear and force loyalty amongst those who knew little of him. "And inform her to prepare to put an end to this insufferable hive of scum. All but the flagship. We do have agents there, yes?"

"Yes, sir. But wouldn't it-"

"That will be all, Admiral"

The Overlord saw that

Formorta also killed more pirates, at least that much less they would have to hunt down here. Meanwhile, Ingrid also arrived at the two she looked at herself. She became visible again and drew attention to herself with a low whistle. She wanted the two of them to see. Both pirates screamed loudly as they saw the woman appearing behind them. Their screams were cut off by the crushing daggers as the woman cut their throats.

Since

Formorta also killed the pirates and the soldiers, so now the rest is out, only the one left on the foot with whom the other assassin fought. She knew what these warriors were like, as she was, and she hated it if someone interfered in her duel, so she left the woman alone, the Ultranauts were still searching for someone. A shape-shifter would probably have been said to be a felacatian, based on the look she had seen earlier.

In the meantime, she even heard someone’s shouts, but with that, someone just drew attention to himself and ended up dead by the soldiers. However, the woman was bored with the cat-and-mouse game her men were playing with that felacatian. She reached into the Force and reached out to

Shani with invisible, telekinetic hands and tried to grab her. If she succeeded, the felacatian couldn't feel anything about it, but she did when Ingrid tried to pull it out and float the creature in front of her.

If she succeeded, she dropped the girl to the ground in front of her, and two Wolfguards immediately grabbed the gun at the girl, waiting for the Overlord to issue the order to kill the creature.

Objective: Take advantage of the chaos

Tranquility was busy, Her world had been chaos but she was here and under the radar of everyone. The space around them was in chaos. But here where Tranquility was, it was peaceful. It was going to be the start of something. In the middle of an asteroid belt was a familiar station. It was none other than the Wren'goa station towed all the way from Hypori to here. Here was no where special just a bit of unexplored space in the far reaches of space. The goal was to be an outpost for exploration as the ZU searched for a new home. They were lucky that the Eternal Empire had helped them when they did. Now it was time to rebuild. Most of their space assets were secure, thanks to the actions of Tranquility. She had hacked and taken over every piece of military hardware she could get her hands on and Now they were just securing the belt. It was going to be home until they found a new home. They got permission to explore and colonize this patch of space should they find anywhere to colonize. Hopefully with this step, an base to set up operations at they could find a new start. Funds weren't unlimited and operations were expensive to keep going.

Lesser and lesser fighting noise what I hear, and this mean nothing else to they will come after me.Slowly look out very close to the floor to I can check where they come. I am calm, like every time in the ring. I know this situation has only two endings. I left on that door alive or I die here, but I will not runaway to they simply shoot me down from behind like a weakling. This is not an honorable death for a gladiator. If I day today I will do it face to face with my enemies.
The only problem, to more and more times I see everything more blurry, and my leg hurt more and more like my side too.

Somebody come closer and closer, so here is the time to fight…
What the?!? Growl wildly when somebody or something catch me, and lift up. I try catch my cover with my claws and stop this… eeer… I don’t know what, but I hear only the sound of the metal like my claws scratch it, and I only float helpless. I try catch who bring me, but I can hit nobody on the air. I never felt similar before. After a short “fly” this mysterious force release me, and I simple fall before three pair of legs.
Look up with a lil growl and slap back my ears. No fear in my eyes and I stay calm when I slowly sit up and watch the two with guns point me. So the center one will the higher ranked, but I don’t feel the fear from her. I don’t see her face under the helmet but like she stand is so powerful.

Hurt my wounds but I change my form into humanoid, but I watch only her, And I stand up slowly if they allow me this, and I don’t make quick movement.
If they push or kick me back to the floor I stay there, but otherway I stand i front of her.
“Did you... kill … master?” a deep growl in my voice when I try speak hardly the common language and I point with my tail to the dead body of my owner.
If she node or something I growl a “thanks”.

I feel my body shiver and in this form, my right arm hurt more, and my side too. Feel my blood flow in my dark gray fur. Every moment I feel so long, and I don’t need look around to I feel inside to not only these two before me point me with gun, but the others will to If I attack. I have only one chance, to do this, but I see very less success.
“Do.. you… wait… this ... beg… life? Or mercy?” point myself under the “this” word and I look at the two who aim me with the guns with fearless eyes, and after to the woman.
I dont know why I see her. Maybe like she stand there, the power what she show. Much more different like my earlier owners, and the other soldiers are much more better too. They win, I accept my fait, maybe my path end here, maybe not. This choice isn’t mine, never was.

Ingrid didn't even have to move as Shani tried to get up from the ground, one of the Wolfguads immediately trying to hit the girl with the gun-stock from behind so she couldn't do it. Fortunately, her people knew exactly what to do, even without questioning. Especially the elite bodyguard. The Overlord did not answer the question. And for the next, she almost utterly stated that “it was pathetic”.

She knew she should feel pity for the girl, but she was unable to do so. She didn't even know what to do with it yet, because apparently she was more of an animal than a human, she barely spoke to even the galactic common. But the questions revealed quite a bit about what the pirates were like.

<” Treat her like a civilian, if she resists or does anything, she will have the same fate as the other pirates!”> said in High Nelvaanian language.

<”Yes, my Lord!”> she received the answer from the two men.

”You start out, for the slightest suspicious move you will share the same fate as any other pirate!” the man told Shani.

And with his gun, he even showed her where to go. Ingrid, meanwhile, turned away from them and walked to the terminal. It was time to put an end to all this and paralyze the ship. And the terminals of the bridge offered the best opportunity for this.

When I tried stand up one of them hit me and with a lil whining fall back on my knees and after only look up and speak from there.
The woman said nothing to my question, and a little later she only said something what I don’t understand, and only listened her, and after look back to the soldiers who said something to her.

Slowly try hold my left paw on my right side where it hurt more like right arm, pull closer my long tail beside my legs and wait to what will my destiny. Lift up my ear and turn it to the soldier who speak again but this time the common language what I understand. Lean down my head and slowly stand up when the soldier want this.

“Pirate?” whisper with a growl my question, but nothing offense, just like I can speak, and point my self slowly “this object... only... slave… gladiator” look at the others who died earlier, so fast, and after lower my hand beside my body, to they see both.
Of course, the true thing, to my body is my weapon, and I dont need anything else, to I can make injures, but I was not stupid, to I attack them.

I look at the woman where she go and after the way where the soldier point with his gun. I slowly walk that way if he want to I walk faster I do it. I don’t know what will come next, to they will chained me too, or something other will come? My ears move slowly and listen the noises, to maybe I will hear something, but if not, majd ears slowly go down, and I watch the floor before me. At this point I have no other option like follow they orders, only slowly lift up my left hand, and place my paw to my side to hold some wounds. They hurt more and more, and more times feel myself dizzy. I don’t know when will I get a first aid, to stop the bleeding.

The soldiers escorted Shani back on the way they had originally come from. On the way, pirates shot dead lay everywhere. The two soldiers did not speak to the girl when she corrected them to be just an object or a gladiator. Several other soldiers came along the way opposite or were just joining from the side. There were those who accompanied prisoners, there the pirates were handcuffed, but most accompanied only the hostages.

After long minutes they even arrived at the hangars, where there were only men of the Eternal Empire and the Eclipse Rebellion, the corpses of the pirates had long since been pulled away, slowly the whole ship was under the control of the united force. In addition to dropships, other transport ships also landed in the hangar to transport the liberated civilians with them. Since most of the prisoners were citizens of the Eternal Empire, coordination was also in High Nelvaanian language.

They only repeated things in a common language where they saw that more people did not understand what was going on here. Shani was also steered in the direction of the ships, towards the other refugees. If she did not understand this, she was guided in a common language by a word about what to do.

Meanwhile, Ingrid was working on the terminal, and further afield, droids took control of the ship, preventing pirates from escaping with escape pods. Outside, the fleets brought victory over the pirate ships, the engines were fired, leaving almost the entire pirate fleet immobile. The engine of the flagship was stopped by the Overlord. She then opened a common communication channel on all frequencies to nearby ships.

”For all personnel, this is the Overlord. The pirate fleet has been paralyzed, the release of the hostages is already underway. Should any of the assisting parties claim any of the ships, please indicate now, if not, all of them will be destroyed after the last civilian has been rescued from the ships.”

Rath Nihro · Nov 8, 2020

After the events had unfolded into an unexpected conclusion. Rath still found it odd that both the Rebellion and the Empire worked hand to hand. If they were all united, then Rath could see that their power as a whole would strengthen considerably. Whether it was by the will of the Empire, the Rebellion, or even the Force itself. That event became a flux in history, a rift in the seemingly endless turmoil. Yet the soldier knew that after this was over, everyone would be back to being at odds with each other. Unfortunate as it was, Rath would only do his part in the grand story.

At the end of it all, the pirates were either captured or killed in action. Hostages were freed and guarded from further threats. As everyone was preparing to board their respective ships, the Overlord spoke to her soldiers and personnel that any ship they saw they could stake their claim on the ship. Frankly Rath wasn't that much of a pilot, or at least not a fancy one. He only received training in how to operate starfighter's and freighters as it was part of their training regiment in case any of them needed to take over the pilot's seat. However, Rath knew that as a Warden having his own ship, or even a starfighter, would be beneficial and allow him to get around easier.

The young soldier glanced around at the hanger as he scouted the potential candidates. There were some old crafts, and even some heavily modified freighters. However his eyes settled upon a Fireaxe starfighter. While low in the armaments department, Rath knew from past experience that they were remarkably fast. A bit bulky sure, but Rath figured he could work with that. So the dark haired teen hustled over to the Fireaxe where he made it quick to board the starfighter and began warming up the engines. There was even a binary voice coming through the communications as there was a support astrogation droid. A mixture of whistles and beeps in what Rath could only assume was in an angry tone.

"I am the guy who is getting us out of this hell pit. We don't have much time unfortunately." Rath answered to the droid before the landing feet were pulled into the craft as it hovered over the scarred floor. With a turn of the nose towards the welcoming space, Rath sailed out of the flagship with the Fireaxe.
