The Trandoshans backed up as the Ticker scuttled towards them, and one leveled his rifle carefully at the creature, before opening fire. The bullets tore the through the Ticker easily, and it exploded prematurely. The mercenary smirked, reloading his Repeater. "Don't get cocky," the other one snapped. "If they wanted to kill us with that, they would've sent more..."

The gunship backed up before turning towards the direction of the base. Just then..the reinforcements had arrived as several gunships appeared swiftly moving in. "Echo 1, what's the situation" One of the reinforcement gunships asked through the comlink.

"Were fine...I got Delta Squad with me, what are the newest orders?' Echo one asked in response.

"Boss man wants you to go in there..and search those tunnels..the order just came up. He wants to fully understand what those creatures and if there is more then them. Remember..were dealing with something hostile..there has to be something weird in those tunnels" Echo two replied.

'Hold on, I aint sending my guys in there..get your little scouters and send them down there. I aint going down there unprepared" Echo one stated. After several moments..multiple basketball sized droids fell off the gunships before sprining to life. The scout droids began to enter the tunnel and begun their search..

Just as the Ticker was dispatched, a Wretch launched itself forward, colliding with the two smaller aliens, knocking them both off their feet. Latching onto one of them, the Wretch began clawing at any and all parts of the alien, another Wretch doing the same to the largest of the ground, trying to tear its throat out from behind...

As soon as the droids entered the underground, a band of tickers scuttled toward them at all angles, some emerging from the tunnel itself, while others appeared from the walls, small arms at the front of their bodies allowing them to dig. The Tickers began shrieking and howling at the droids, flames igniting as they launched themselves at various targets...

The probes while hovering began to evasive manuvers and accelerated forward and headed deeper into the tunnel. They had light shielding to defend them against light weaponry but their main focus was exploration. The ARC Troopers watched the droids and what they were observing..it was good they didnt go in..all those suciders would have been a very big problem..

Though taken by surprise, the Trandos swiftly reacted, the smaller ones clubbing their attackers over their heads with their rifles, knocking them off. crawling backwards, they opened up on the Wretches, trying to take them down before they attacked again. The heavy merc snarled angrily, purposely falling backwards and crushing the Wretch underneath its immense weight. Standing up, the Trando stomped on the fallen Wretch repeatedly with a clawed foot, making sure it was definitely dead.

The remaining Wretches managed to avoid most of the incoming projectiles, but their attack plan was now ruined. One Wretch stepped forward, jagged mouth opening as it screamed, the sound alone almost eardrum bursting, echoing in all directions. The second Wretch, completely unaffected by its ally's shriek, took off back toward the dune, disappearing over it soon after. The remaining Wretch, taking advantage of its enemies' stunned state, launched itself at one of the smaller aliens once more, clawing at its face furiously.

Inside the tunnel, the familiar cluster of glowing eyes appeared, staring hungrily at the droids in front of it. The Tickers scuttled after the droids, leading them into a trap...

The droids continued moving as they unleashed electro signals to try and detect what was up ahead. It was rather obvious..if the signals returned, clearly there was something up ahead. It was quite obvious to the ARC Troopers that they were dealing with a foe that was smarter and deadlier then they thought..

by **TyrannoTitan** » Mon Jan 19, 2009 10:44 pm

The multi-eyed behemoth roared, two massive claws cleaving into the sides of the tunnel, collapsing it on top of the droids ahead. The Corpser clawed its way into the sand once more, making a new tunnel within seconds, the Tickers emerging behind it a few seconds later, using their tiny claws to avoid the massive tunnel collapsing.

"I want those tunnels and whatever is in them destroyed at once.." The General said as the droids were destroyed. Sending troopers in was rather dangerous..they needed to put bombs in or something..they had to destroy whatever was down there. "Delta Squad..were sending in even more reinforcements..you're going down there. Your orders are to secure the hole while we prepare several powerful bombs to destroy those tunnels and whatever lies within them. We cant just send them in and fire..they need to be fired inside the tunnels for best effect so securing that hole is option"

"Roger..awaiting reinforcements now" Fordo responded.

"Sounds more like sucide" Rex stated.

"Were getting some powerful reinforcements..still..I dont like it but it wont be the first suicidal mission. We just need to secure that hole for some time..get those missiles or bombs and fire them off. We cant let whatever is down there mess up with our plans" Fordo replied.

The mercenary toppled over, trading blows with the Wretch as viciously as the creature itself, using his sharp claws to tear the Wretch's flesh. The other Trando, after shaking his head, kicked the attacker in the head, knocking it off his comrade, before gunning it down. Helping his partner to his feet, the Trando growled, "THat other one ran. We've got to get back to camp and warn Carrsk." The wounded Trando, claw marks on his face and arms, as well as gashes in his armor, hissed painfully, "Good idea... I need some bacta anyway..." The heavy merc silently followed the other two mercenaries, keeping his eye on the group's rear, just in case that thing decided to send something much deadlier after them...

The glowing eyes appeared within the pit, observing the flying craft above, as if waiting for it to send more beings to their deaths. The creature was well aware of the situation...it was a savage behemoth, but was not an animal. Things were being set into motion...its goal was to simply kill as many of the invaders as it could...

A group of Wretches watched the aliens that killed their comrades, noting where they were heading, and what they were doing. The small humanoid creatures scampered around the dunes, remaining out of sight for the moment...

"Damn..going into that thing is sucide.." Rex slowly said. Fordo shook his head slightly..they had orders. The ARC Troopers watched as a great number of Imperial gunships began swarming in. Several gunships were carrying AT-AT and AT-ST's. Heavy armor was always apperciated. Numerous troopers were coming in along with the reinforcements..heavily armed and prepared. A small unit of Imperial Shuttles were also coming in.

"Hey Delta, you guys ready? you'll be jumping feet first into hell!" Another group of elite ARC Troopers asked that were stationed on a different gunship.

"Of course Alpha..better stay alive" Fordo responded. A chucke escaped the two but they all died down as a final message from the general reached every single trooper.

"Your orders are simple everyone. Go down there..secure the hole and then wait until we make a weapon that wil destroy the tunnels and all inside them. I understand I am sending you on a mission where you have no knowledge of your foes. It may not be easy but you are soldiers of the Empire and in the end..no matter what happens, we will be victorious!" The General said.

"All right, Echo Four, Seven and Eight go down there and confirm the landing zone is good enough to land on. Birds Two, Three and Five..get your asses down for covering support if the coast is clear. I want all Heavy Armor units, ready to deploy but do not go in until we have confirmation we can send troopers in!" Fordo ordered.

"Roger, all units proceed as planned" Rex said as the called on units began to go in. Several Gunships began to lower themselve into the hole..lights on..guns ready..

by **TyrannoTitan** » Tue Jan 20, 2009 10:18 pm

As soon as the units made their descent, a massive claw stabbed into one of the gunships, pulling it to the side of the pit, smashing it into the sand, causing even further damage. The beast roared, openly standing in the way of the enemy, two claws anchoring itself within the pit, the others slashing at anything trying to get past...

The Trandos quickly made it back to their camp, walking straight up to Carrsk, who had left the bridge to oversee the operation. He was flanked by two of Grievous' droid bodyguards, given to him by the general, just in case. The commander turned to the mercs, hissing, "Report." One Trandoshan replied, "We were attacked by something new. Exploding bugs aren't the only things on this planet apparently. And Hrrshok needs medical assistance." "Send him to the medical droids. You other two, continue guarding the camp perimeter. I don't want anything getting in here, Imperial or otherwise." As the Trandos walked off, Carrsk looked over the dunes, narrowing his eyes. There was obviously something here that was intelligent, and he was determined to find out what.

"We got contact! we got contact! all units fire at will!" Fordo ordered, taking note of the destruction of one of the gunships. The remaining two gunships began to pull back and instead unleashed a mass barrage of weaponry. Highly explosive missiles from the two main launchers and wings. Four green super cutting lasers from each of the gunships were also unleashed..the lasers slicing into the hide of the creature. The remaining gunships around the area readied as several went down to aid the two...

The Wretches watched the makeshift base from the sand dunes, two of the savage creatures tearing away across the desert, reporting the base to their superiors. The others waited, waiting for the invaders to send out more troops to their deaths...

The darkness of the pit made it harder to shoot the gargantuan creature, even with its monster size, while the creature itself blocked the other projectiles with a wall made out of its claws, which reflected reflected the lasers harmlessly, and took the full burn of the explosives without a scratch. Its claws were nearly indestructible, which aided in both tunneling and fighting, but its body did not have the same protection. For now, the creature anchored itself within the pit with two claws, while the others formed a protective wall in front of it...

by **dinoman666** » Wed Jan 21, 2009 4:40 am

Carrsk didn't risk sending another scouting party out into the desert. He would probably need an entire army to even get across it and to the Imperial base in one piece anyway. He did, however, begin fortifying his defense even further, calling out several Advanced Dwarf Spider Droids from the cruiser. They would be enough to handle just about anything thrown at them.

by **Anaclagon** » Wed Jan 21, 2009 8:00 pm

The gunships began to continue to play down heavy firepower as they began to fall back. Dropping into a hole was an Imperial Attack Shuttle. The Shuttle began to open up as it unleashed much more deady and powerful missles, the type of missles which easily could punch holes in heavy armored capital ships. Laser cannons were also fired to add to increase damage. The remaining gunships above the hole waited..there was no way they could land if they had to deal with the giant targets like this..

by **TyrannoTitan** » Wed Jan 21, 2009 11:52 pm

The creature roared angrily, gouging the sides of the pit with its claws, causing large amounts of sand and earth to plummet into the pit. Soon the pit itself expanded, the sides collapsing down inside, slowly covering it up completely, including the creature who started the avalanche. Now, a massive crater remained above the surface, the pit itself blocked...

by **Anaclagon** » Thu Jan 22, 2009 7:51 pm

"So much for nuking the tunnels.." Rex said as he clutched his sniper riffle. The gunships began to move away slightly..they were still in a rather hostile situation. "Looks like we got to turn around, search for any caves that lead into the tunnels...were not getting through there" Rex added on.

"Command, this is Delta Squad..mission...stalled. The pit itself has been closed and were dealing with a massive bug-creature thing. It closed the pit and going down there is too risky..we have to fall back, find another way into tunnels but sir..I'm thinking we are dealing with something that's alot smarter then we think" Fordo stated as he communicated back with the base.

"Permission..granted..have all units turn around..we'll send Maulers out in search of anything but sand.." The General replied. Fordo nodded as he looked at Rex and then the gunship that held Alpha. The ARC's of Alpha nodded as the fleet of gunships began to back away and turn in the direction of the Imperial base..
