Serephir was slowly moving through the craft, moving to his right as an opening turned up, only to see a Reptok charging at him. he fired a shot at its head, the beast's head exploding right after the bullet penetrated, as it dropped instantly. ahead was a door with strange symbols scraped on the door, which, unbeknownced to him, was "Slaves" in the Reptokian Language. as he slowly crept towards the door, his assault rifle aimed towards it, he heard an otherworldly moaning howling sound from within. walking forward, the door sliding up to see three Reptokian Pirates with large dual-pronged fork-like devices, a powerful electrical current running between them as they poked several creatures of various races with them, howls of pain coming from the fearful creatures who wanted so badly to escape. they suddenly fell silent as they noticed Serephir entering. the Reptokians hissed at eachother before turning around, seeing Serephir, his assault Rifle back in it's place, his sword at his side. the hissed at him as he looked at them, his eye-patch now lifted from it's place to reveal his other eye, the two sea-blue eyes almost cat-like in a way. "Come on then...bring it" said Serephir, making sure to speak Galactic Standard, so that they'd understand. as they hissed one swung it's electric staff at him, Serephir swiftly slicing it in two before roundhouse kicking the Reptokian back against a wall, just as the other two attacked, seeing this attacker was above the normal standard they were put up against. as the two swung their staffs in on him from opposite Directions, Serephir bent back, the two Staffs swinging past his upwards facing face and locking against eachother, as Serephir swung his sword up into them, slicing the electrically charged tips of them off, before swinging himself back upright, pointing his sword forward, letting the first attacker impale himself on the sword after a failed Charge attempt. the two on either side of him tried to pound him, just as he swiftly backed away, drawing his blade out and turning it so the sharp edges were pointing to the sides, hurting the two attackers as Serephir stepped back. with frightening speed he lunged forward, grabbing one of them by the neck and lifting him up, before slamming into his slightly shocked friend, swinging his blade around as the two collided, slicing the pair of them in half with one hit. he looked around at the slaves, who were reaching out to him, as if begging for his help. "Please...free us...they enslaved us...killed our families..and friends...help us" gurgled one particular creature that was speaking in broken up Galactic Standard. Serephir looked around, saying "Where's the switch for the cells?". "On that wall" gurgled the creature again. Serephir nodded, and walked over to it, flicking the switch, the cell doors sliding up into the cieling, the creatures escaping. they charged towards a wall which, after the leader who spoke to Serephir flicked a switch, slid open, the creatures rushing in and taking their weapons from the armoury. as they came out, they looked at Serephir, as if expecting him to lead them. "Kill any of this crew you find. but leave anyone else. my own crew is fighting them off of my ship right now...after this lot are dead, take this ship, and return to your homes, or continue to travel. if there's any wealth on board, you could use it to repair the ship, get some cargo, become merchants. it's up to you. just help me fight these things off, and keep close. i don't want one of my crew to mistaken you for an enemy" said Serephir, before raising his right arm to his face as if he was checking the time. a panel opened in the armour and a screen turned up. "Alex, Xander, Blaze. do you read me?" said Serephir. the blue screen changed from silvery blue to a split screen, split into three parts, Blaze on one, Xander on another, and Alex on the third. "Yes sir!" they responded, a shooting sound being heard as Xander disappeared from the screen, a screeching hiss being heard before he returned to face the screen. "Sorry about that, Sir" he said. "Don't worry about it. Listen. all these Reptilian creatures are to be eliminated. anything NOT of their kind are to be left alone. I've just freed some of their previous victims and armed them. they're gonna help us get rid of these ********". "Yes sir!" they responded in unison. "Oh, and make sure Jarad, Jarmun, Arqueek and Thara know as well. we don't want any friendly fire" he added. "Over and out" he said as he hit a small button on the side, which gave ended the transmission and switched to a Radar, detecting an incoming threat. he turned around and eyed the door, which was blown off and bent upwards as a large black Reptok walked in, a machinegun in one hand and an axe in the other, looking around angrily at all the freed slaves...
about 20 Reptoks were now aboard the Endeavour, moving through the decks in search for her crew, who were making use of the ship's numerous compartments to help eliminate the attackers...
"Ah yes, organised chaos. the sign of a clever but ever-busy mind. To the perpetrator, a carefully woven web of belongings and intrigue, but to the bystander? Madness!"
