Space E-war

[Shadow]

Upon his arrival on the planet, Reaver, burrowed under the sand and tunneled below the walls of the city. He burst through the landscape, with a terrifying howl he stabbed the nearest Fire Warrior through the brain, and slit anothers chest with his tail pincers. By now hormagaunts were swarming he walls, leaping down and hacking their way through the ranks of Tau. A huge claw smashed down par of a wall, and a monstrous beast stomped in, followed by many other smaller creatures...

The Koultians nodded and left the room, heading back the way they came onto the shuttle, leaving for their own one. As the leader climbed aboard his own ship once more, he said absently into his suits communicater "Yes general, they are will see to it..... No I didn't actually, there wasn't any need... I don't think it will matter.... Roger that.... We are on our way...." The cruiser's engines reignighted, the pitch black sleek craft rocketing away from Xoridia...

Meanwhile, a small circular ship drifted towards Tatooine, deep within the empire.. the damaged ship wobbeled about, having sustained significant damage enroute to its destination, which was nowhere near Tatooine... No... This ship was one of the many the Koult had detected heading towards the mysterious planet nick named "The Root" The name had come from this very ship. When the koult had intercepted it, the fanatical aliens aboard could only talk about great power on The Root world.... Whatever this power was, the koult wanted to know. If it was genuine, they would take it before anyone else.... The ship was critically damaged and then left float away. Unwittingly, the Koult had left records aboard the ship, records telling off the Root World and what it supposedly held....


The pod tore through the clouds and for the first time, Joey saw his destination... A huge dark city, lit up by perodic flashes of gunfire from anti air bastions.... Various buildings lit up red on his screen as Mac, their leader, tagged the objectives...

Joey tapped a few buttons and their was a soft whoosh, the first layer of the breacher peeling off and being turned to dust in the wind, having been weakened so much during entry...

A deep voice grunted "Sky Fire 3, touching down."
Drek...

Silence...

A gruff typical squad leader's voice"Sky Fire 6, touching down"
Mac...

A long pause and then an echoing rumble

A softer, russian sounding voice "Sky Fire 5, touching down"
Vic...

An acented cheerful voice "You call that touching down? Vicky, touching down implies that your pod is left in at least 5 peices. 1... 2... 3... 4... 5.... 6,7,8,9 good god woman how did you manage to smash that"

Laughter broke out across the radio but was then interupted by Mac's commanding voice "Snap it shut kids, this aint no training day."

The same cheerful voice from before "Sky Fire 1, touching down. Vicky? You takeing notes?"
Adam

The conversation had been like some sort of drug, relieveing Joey of all the tensity and nerveousness inside him... He relaxed, the task ahead not seeming so daunting now...

The ground begun rushing up to meet him, smoke was billowing out all around the front of his pod, buildigns passing him out. He threw one hand foreward against a virtual toggle, the front of the pod lighting up with blue flames as he activated the retro thrusters. The Pod lurched, even within his bubble of blissfulness, Joey felt the g-force as the hundread mile an hour pod slowed, the retros dying out barely a meter above the ground as the pod hammered into it. There Invader shook roughly, cracks tearing through the pavement on either side of him, screams registering in his sensors...

He radioed hurriedly, satisfaction riseing through him"Sky Fire 4, touching down"

Adam's voice broke over the radio "Nice touch down Rookie, looked like a pro."

Just then did it register in his mind that Joey had just made a perfect text book touch down, minising tramua to the pod while still sending out a large dust screen....

"Sky fya 2, touchin' down
A dramatic sounding bright male voice, Spike. Only a weirdo like Spike would say that.

Mac called over the channel "Sky Fire 6, everyone power up and lets do this thing..."

Joey flew into a flurry of button pressing, a light whoosh of air as the Invader detached from the breacher, the "Shhhh-ken!" of slideing armour panels shifting to reveal the legs. A light thump as the back two legs slapped against the ground. Finally he reached to his side, a control stick slideing out of nowhere to his hand, he pulled up on it and his view screen begun to zoom out, exiting the cloud of dust to show the plaza he had landed in, a loud clicking sound coming from the telescopic legs as they pushed the invaders shell high into the air. The machines third leg had been planted against the breachers back.... He flicked the view screen around, watching crowds of civilians fleeing the gargantuan machine... It was suprising to see civies out here. He thought they would have been in bunkers or something...

"Sky Fire 3, going weapons hot."

He flicked the view screen around, locateing Dreks Invader, the massive machine already high above the industrial buildings, the shell bobbing up and down as the machine begun to move foreward...

More calls from the others about going weapons hot.

joey was the last to call through, having taken time to double check the correctness of every step. Eventually he had his basic shield activated and his weapons powered up. He triggered the GPC's, a small virtual screen opening out of nowhere, showing the tempature of each cannon and the current flow of power. He triggered his Ion cannons, the names on the screen changing and a second one opening above it, being blank. When he was using it for real, it would show the currently tagged surfaces.

He triggered the disintergrator guns, the screen showing the current firing mode and ammo remaining. He was capeable of building more ammo but he didnt want to divert his all important power supply into that task when he had a massive drum of the stuff in each weapon....

He made the call "Sky Fire 4, going weapons hot."

Mac called over the radio "Sky fire 6, everyone, engage objectives and fire at targets on your discretion. Remember, what might be a civilian might also be a soilder running towards a howitzer. Take no Prisioners."

The chilling message rang into Joey's ears... the first of many orders to come that would send goose bumps down his skin....

Zitrax pulled the bandanna down, having made it into the city from the dessert where some of his kind still lived, after being evicted from Ozymandia. The tripods gleamed in the moon light. Zitrax lifted a and, water flowing over him and freezing into a daimond like substance. Zitrax ran over the streets, side stepping the large breaks in the road, left by the tripod's feet. The daimond over freeze drowned out the screams and cries of the civillians

[Shadow]

The Hive was consuming the planet, slowly but surely. By now,most of the city defenses were slaughtered. Gargoyles soared the air, sowing terror and confusion among the civilians. Reaver himself had already taken out a squad of Fire Warriors, and was massacring another. A Hive Tyrant charged through the smashed wall, and quickly became locked in combat with a Greater Knarloc, the two titans circling each other, crushing smaller creatures underfoot. The Knarloc struck first, slamming it's massive head into the Hive Tyrant's Flank, knocking it back a few steps. The Hive Tyrant retaliated with a swipe of his Rending Claws, gouging out flesh on the Greater Knarloc's back...

[Doc 42]

A high pitched whirring sound echoed throughout the city, registering on Joey's sensors. A voice whisspered to him "Weapons discharge detected, GPC fire." He responded "check for freindlies before notification... there is gona be alot more of that on this mission..." A small beep confirmed his order.... He flicked his view cam around, seeing what looked like blue swirling energy zipping across the city and hammering into a large building, the GPC projectile crashing through the wall and explodeing on the interior of the building, blowing out large chunks of rubble and causeing the walls and roof to collapse inwards....

Drek sounded across the radio "Sky fire 3, takeing hits from what looks like a plasma flak gun. Chances are its some panicy militia."

Joey consintrated on the radio while he lumbered through the streets, ignoreing the chaos his machine was causeing all around, its search lights illuminateing groups of civilians fleeing in terror... He flicked his view port around again, spying a large ship takeing off in the distance... He radioed "Sky Fire 4, enemy craft lifting off. Looks like a cruiser of some sort."

Mac responded "Sky Fire 6, roger that 4. Flybird alerted" Flybird was their aerial escort, a maverick assault cruiser. The city had a shield protecting it from bombardment but it didnt stretch very high into the sky, any enemy ships would be able to be taken down by their ships....

He continued on for a few moments before he saw his first target, a red triangle sweeping across the view screen and settleing onto an unassumeing building in the distance. An info box appeared next to it, identifying it as a rebel howitzer post. Sure enough, he saw a blueish flash from one of the windows. Instinctively, he flicked the GPC shield up into place, a blue bolt zipping out of the building and hammering into the shield, reflecting off harmlessly into the sky.. He smirked, thanking technology and switched onto his Missile controls. A small screen zipped acrosss above his main one, indicateing the missiles eye cam.

outside, a slender rocket slid up out of the top of the Invaders shell, fitting into a launcher. The launcher twirled around, aiming at the building. Flaps slid out of its sides. Joey clicked his thumb on the joystick now mysteriously in his right hand.

The missile blasted off, its engine ignighting. It corkscrewed foreward, leaving a soft misty grey smoke trail behind. The missile straightened, twisting down and hammering right into the window where the GPC shot had come from. The window lit up with orange light at first, then the walls of the building exploded outward in a massive obliterateing cloud of dust and flame, the rest of the building pancaked down ontop of it, flames rising up from the wreckage, black smoke bellowing into the air...

Zitrax eyed the destruction. The site made him lose his concentration, the crystal armor simple reverting to water and spalltered to the ground, Only now were the screams, weapon fire, and the crackling of flames were audible, it was the seige of Ozymandia all over again. Zitrax raised his arms, Water gushing out of the hydrant like objects lining the streets. It swirled around Zitrax's feet and lefted him up in a twisting flume of water. Zitrax then cupped his fists and made a movement that mimicked a push, Water flying towards the fire, dousing the flames in a bellow of smoke.

The 51 ship Armada cruised through space..in serach of the Tyranid fleet that had retreated after Imperial Assualt. This new operation of attack was led directly under the dark Lord of the sith himself. While most of the Armada was back in defense of the two sectors, this little fleet compared to others still demonstrated Imperial Navy Superiorty as the classical and one mile long Imperial Class II Star Destroyers led by the single and modified Executor Class Star Dreadnougt..The Annihilator who intended on intitating Base Delta Zero on any enemy planets..

The Dark Lord of the Sith watched the holograms..watching how the single intruder manged to nearly put an entire Imperial Garrison and its base in trouble. Revan shook his head slightly but remained focused on his search as thousands of probes searched through the system and the Armada poised to eleminate their targets. Back at the Galactic Empire...war production was just as heavy as ever within the galaxy spanning empire, constantly produing weapons and ships as other weapons still remained in the shadows, ready to be used in this little war.

Soon they would be caught and the Tyranids who remained back in the Imperial planets would forever be hunted down..they could not allow another planet to fall..

[Zephyr]

Eviscerator slithered his way through the passages again trying to find his way out of the facility but even for him the long corridors and firepower of the imperials made it confusing for him.

[Anaclagon]

Every ordinary entrance was now blocked off by Dark Troopers as more where within the facility, hunting down the intruder as the regular troopers were all over the fortress..some were with the dark troopers at the entrances, most however were patrolling the bases as TIE Fighters and Gunships flew overhead..this "lockdown" was to make sure nothing went in or out..

[Zephyr]

Eviscerator slid silently on his stomach but just as all seemed well hsi razor sharp scythe slit open a power conduit as the shock of teh energy coursed through his body and he roared in pain as he is body went rigid and crackling with the energy.

[Anaclagon]

Down the corridor several Imperial Troopers on their search for the creature continued to stay together, looking for the intruder whent ehy heard the sound and ran over..spotting the creature..

"Enemy intruder spotted..bring him down!" The lead one said as the group of 5 began to fire. Clutching their riffles and having a clear visual the Imperial Soldiers barraged their target using their DC-15 blaster riffles, bolts of powerful blue plasma surged through the air towards the creature as Dark Troopers were being informed as well who would prepare themselves..

[Zephyr]

Eviscerator could feel the plasma fire striking him as he screeched in pain. He turned and hacked the power conduit from the wall and whirled launching it at the troopers and tumbling over them. He hissed weakly and began to slither off very slowly...

[Anaclagon]

"Now we have that *******..get more men there and finish him off!" The Field Commander ordered in happiness and relief..once it was dead, then the chances of him surviving were greater, surely Revan would forgive his little mistake by making it up for killing the intruder. More Troopers headed for the corridor along with Dark Troopers..coming from all sorts of corridors to give them a better chance of surrounding him. With the visuals from the previous troopers...they knew where he was..

[TyrannoTitan]

As the forces advanced, the turrets were finally activated, making short work of the ground forces, firing what seemed like invisible ammunition, but was actually an incredibly strong sound wave, that vibrated the air around it as it discharged, having explosive capabilities when striking a solid object, as well as almost deafening any being around it. The two Striders advanced through the battlefield, firing their pulse lasers at the turrets ahead, piercing the metal easily, but from the distance their aim wasn't effectively accurate. Just as the sonic turrets focused on the Striders, a loud hum echoed around the area, the Striders now standing completely still, the air seemingly bending around their larger weapon below their "heads". The Warp Cannons fired, blinding blue super heated energy soaring through the air as they each struck a turret, the burst of laser fire exploding into a hurricane of fire as the surrounding turrets were also obliterated, two giant gaping holes in the ground, the soldiers easily handling the remaining turrets that were farthest from the devistation. The current objective complete, the two Striders lumbered on, now focusing on leveling the city until the planet surrendered...

[Zephyr]

Eviscerator stopped slithering too weak to go on as he collapsed on his belly his long body a partial obstacle in the hall. His glowing blue eyes faded as he went unconscious with a hiss...

[Anaclagon]

The Dark Troopers from one side of the corridor, guns aimed towards the downed creature as infantry came from the other as they narrowed their eyes towards the creature..guns also poised..was it even still alive? then again..what if they captured the creature if its still alive but regardless, they had to make sure it truely was out.

[Zephyr]

The carnifexes that were ramming the barrier outside had stopped and retreated back to the safety of the uderground hive, knowing from messages sent by the zoanthropes that the mission had failed.

[Anaclagon]

"My Lord..what shall we do with the downed body.." The field General asked..a transmission from the Annihilator came in. The terrified man only stared into the armored mask of the Dark Lord of the Sith.

"Capture the body..proceed with expirmenets..you have the green light for reinforcements to make sure that none of these things once invade the base..your on a hot water Commander..should the body prove useless..dispose of it" Revan stated before shutting of the transmisson.

The Field Commander smirked slightly but at the same time, took a deep breath..that was close.

The Dark Troopers approached the body slowly, guns still poised to fire if it proved to be faking it..

[Zephyr]

Eviscerators body did not flicker back to life, it was indeed breathing but it wasnt faking anything it did not move whatsoever or react in anyway to the darktroopers its just lay still and unconscious.

[Anaclagon]

The troopers moved towards the downed intruder as several more troopers moved foward as they narrowed their eyes through their mask. The Dark Troopers would have to pick this thing up and strap it in the lab..still they were all wary of the creature..
