Saturday Night Role-Play: Drums of War

[Hulnok yawon]

Once he got the senators on the station he went back to help flint and Dex in the charge.
He turned on his comlink @[member="Flint Pherson"] "I'm coming back to aid you guys."

 

[Tefka]

Teferi was lifted up.

And in an instant, his smaller lightsaber was out, soon to be cutting off the man's hand.

 

[Malok]

Dex faintly heard the rallying cry 'For the Republic' echo down the halls and rose from his position of cover once more. He jogged over to the door closest to which he heard the sound and in a matter of seconds was greeted by the sight of Pherson and his squad. Relief poured through the veteran the moment the Commander arrived. Dex simply raised his arm, pointing at the Senate chambers where the sound of battle could be heard on the outside.

"They're in the-" he was cut off by the loud roar of his son and the sound of blaster fire over the comm-link. The message was transmitted on all channels and echoed in the helmets of all the soldiers present. Dex grit his teeth.

"Route some of the Heavy Team to back Ned up, I don't know who the Senator is working for, but we must assume the worst. If that's a Sith, then there's a high possibility Ned's not walking out of there alive if he stays alone. Get some men there on the double!" Dex said as calmly as possible to Pherson.

 

[Asari Morin]

Well what could one do? A hand was a hand and a Dead Jedi was a dead jedi. Moridin allowed the blade to slice into his skin. It stung and bit at him hissing loudly, but Moridin had felt this pain before, one more time did not phase him too much.

As the blade sliced through his wrist Moridin brought up his other hand and let forth a massive burst of force lightning which at this range was almost assured to do some damage.

 

[Hulnok yawon]

Hulnok ran up behind flint. "Dex! What's going on in there."

 

[Tefka]

The Force Lightning blasted the Jedi Master off of the statue and into one of the long draping curtains, setting it and others ablaze. The Jedi crumpled on the ground, far below. He hobbled back up...the pain in his leg had spread... and began to stagger towards the exit.

"Require assistance, I do." He called on the comm link, desperate for the Jedi Order to show up in force. "Defeated, I am."

 

[Flint Pherson]

"Understood General. Team move up! Clear that room!"

Pherson took to his com. First to the Heavies, and then to Hulnok.

"Heavy Team come in. ...I want you to retask half-of your squad to that distress signal. Yes. Capture. Com this channel when you have him. Understood. ...Switching to the Jedi. ...I hear you Jedi. Get here and we could use you. Over and out."

Pherson clicked his com closed and nodded to the General.

"I have Officer Taylor waiting in the Gunship. Just out on the Balcony. He can take you to Air Base Delta with the rest of the Evacuations. The Grandmaster is now priority one. Otherwise the command is yours General. My men are moving up."

With a snap salute Pherson took to charging after his squad. Dex could issue orders as he saw fit. They still had a Jedi to save.

"Making contact with the Sith... NOW!"

33 soldiers moved to cover, dropped prox mines, and trained sights on Moridan. It was the Sith's move.

 

[Darth Carnifex]

Kaine hissed in pain as one of the blaster bolts hit his shoulder and in his side, leaving a pair of burning wounds in his flesh. His emerald eyes flashed in anger as he was forced to leave his station behind, but what was done was done, and the virus would manage to upload the rest of its self before the team arrived. Kaine quickly exited the room and walked down the hallway a bit, and removed a remote incendiary device from his jacket and planted it on the floor, and primed it for proximity detonation. Next people who walked down this side of the hallway would get a face-full of burning hot fire, and Kaine smirked at the idea of men and woman being burned alive the moment they turned the corner, but this was not a time to daydream. Kaine hurried over to a nearby vent shaft and cut it open with a fusion cutter he had just for this situation, and slide into the space, crawling to safety to hide in the shafts until he could extract himself. He hoped Moridin was giving them hell, they deserved it now.

 

[Hulnok yawon]

"Teferi I can come with you to air base delta if you want."

 

[Asari Morin]

Moridin bounded off the statue, watching as the Jedi Grandmaster limped away. What a pathetic little creature that one was. He had hoped for more of a challenging fight, losing his hand wasn't really anything. As he landed on the ground with a soft thump he looked at the stump that was now on his left arm. He examined it for a few seconds, then smirked at the soldiers that had appeared in front of him. He was still more than capable of killing them, maybe not all of them but a good chunk.

He would have to replace his hand. He mused for a second, cybernetics? Clone hand? perhaps a Yuuzhan Vong biot. He had gone that route before and the no force using thing really was quite entertaining. He smiled at the group for a second, as if he knew what was about to happen. "Tell me. Do you feel disheartened? I could have just killed one of the most powerful people in the galaxy, and instead i let him limp away, like a dog."

CHANCELLOR'S CHAMBER

As the soldiers rushed into the Chancellor's Chambers, the sinister form of Darth Apparatus turned a corner and stood right behind the squad in the hall that they came from. How and where he kept himself from being detected by the soldiers was unknown.

Without a word and as Moridin spoke, Darth Apparatus extended an empty right arm. A blast of powerful telekinetic power rippled through the hall with enough force to potentially toss the soldiers into the wall. Its aim was clear - Darth Apparatus intended to discombobulate the soldiers by knocking them onto the floor, wall, or ceiling.

 

[Hulnok yawon]

"You're a sick man Moridin don't deny it!"

 

[Tefka]

Teferi darted behind the wall of troopers, hobbling towards the docks, eager to seek medical treatment - but faced with Darth Apparatus.

 

[Hulnok yawon]

Hulnok couldn't go on, he had to leave with his life.

 

[Hulnok yawon]

"Lets go" he shouted to Teferi "you need medical attention."

 

[Malok]

It was difficult for Ned to draw breath at this point, but despite the pain he forced himself to move. There was no way in hell he was going to be able to catch up with and stop the Senator...but perhaps he could at least put a halt to whatever it was he was planning. With a grunt, Ned forced himself onto his belly and clawed his way over to the desk where the datapad had been left behind. He reached and fumbled for a moment, then grasped it within his palm, pulling it down to him. The datapad was just in the final stages of uploading something, yet Ned quickly tapped about on the datapad, attempting to stop whatever was being downloaded from getting into the system. Perhaps it was luck, perhaps it was skill, or perhaps it was the Force guiding his hand, but the young Commando managed to abort the upload and halt whatever malicious data that the datapad was attempting to poison the system with. With that done, Ned slumped once more to the ground, forcing himself to roll over so that he could breathe easier. 'Heh...stopped it...'

 

[Hulnok yawon]

He got on the shuttle tired and beaten after a few minutes he past out of exhaustion.

 

[Flint Pherson]

Moridin lost his opportunity for an audience when Apparatus arrived. A Force wave sending seven of the 33 troopers sprawling.
"Pincer! Push through! Blast em'. Give em' hell!" Pherson shouted as he armed his first prox mine and sent it at Apparatus.

The Heavy Team left the elevator and charged down the hallway with great speed. Anti-Tank Rockets at the shoulder. They were sure to lose a few walls if they fired them. But this Heavy Team was only six men strong. Moving to find Ned and capture a lost Senator.

Sighted too late, a thermal charge detonated and took the first two men with it. Blasting the rest off their feet and wounding two others. Their helmets and armor protected against the concussion and soon the soldiers were on their feet. Radioing ahead,

"Heavy Dispatch Two, this is Heavy Dispatch One. We have two men down. Griggs and Maddox are wounded. Please advise."
"Understood One. The Navy just got hit and we can't retask to you. Advise stabilize your soldiers and hold your position. Reinforcements are on the way."
"Copy that Two. Holding position at the top deck."

[Asari Morin]

Moridin reacted instantly to Apparatus' arrival, mostly with a large grin on his face. It was quite disturbing, but it happened naturally. One of the hilts on his hip floated to his hand and the orange blade ignited with a bright and loud Hiss. Immediately the Dreadlord began to reflect shot after shot, sending them all back towards the troopers.

Deflecting the shot was easy. The troopers were all straight ahead of them, the few bolts that made it past his guard either struck around him or singed his clothes. Moridin looked to Apparatus, watching the other man for a cue.

 

[Malok]

"Two." Dex breathed. The first, one who had lost his arm to Tefari, and the second who had just appeared. Monsters imbued with phenomenal power by the Force...It was time to vacate the premises. The Grandmaster of the Jedi Order was wounded and a wall of the Force had just sent a large portion of Pherson's men flying. 'This is bad...' He muttered to himself. Yet, as Pherson had aptly put it, the Grandmaster was priority one. They had to get him out of there. The sound of rushing boots gave Dex a jolt, as the surviving guards and other members of the Senate's default security force finally arrived on scene. They were ahead of the Heavy Troops by minutes and could provide just the opening they needed to get everyone out.

"Flashbangs." Was all that Dex had to say. The team, numbering in twenty, all reached into their utility belts and let fly a flurry of flash grenades. The blinding flash unleashed itself before the new Sith and Dex motioned the team forward. The rushed forth in a gaggle, careful not to bunch together should the Sith decide to utilize another wall of the Force. Their objective was simple, grab the Grandmaster and get him aboard a shuttle. Pronto.
