Space E-war

[Doc 42]

The Cypher strided foreward into the strange metalic corridor. After a quick glance around he said a loud "The walls. Grenade them. Some sort of primitive arrow trap... Advanced sensors dont pick them up...."

The Xoridians were approaching the main chamber. A Massive open cavity stretching downwards deep into the planets crust, open passage ways threaded into its sides, giant metal support columns stretching up from the floor to support the floor above. Hundreads, if not thousands of small drones clouded the entire cavern flying this way and that.... It seemed that all of the passage ways led to this main cavern at some point...

The koult were still monitering the hunter Seekers, the Xoridians had managed to avoid them for now, thankfully....

[Anaclagon]

Revan glanced at the walls. Revan then looked back to one of his ARC Troopers. "Captain" Revan stated.
"Yes sir?" The ARC Trooper Captain asked, the color of his armor was different from the regular ARC Troopers to define his rank and status as above an ordinary trooper.
"The walls..bring them down" Revan ordered as the Dark Lord of the Sith still focused on the walls themselves.
The ARC Trooper Captain looked into his utlity belt and grabbed several thermal detonators, clutching them in his hand before stepping forward and hurling them down the corridor. The thermal detonators had the tendency to be unstable and the destructive power would be quite devastating on the walls. With the fuse up to six seconds..the grenades then finally detonated..

Assassin growled "Alright. Im the only one wearing any cloaking devises, so, im going in." Gold said "Ok. Me and Beta will set up sniper positions to cover you."

[Doc 42]

As the smoke cleared... a single arrow twanged into the air out of nowhere and feebly fell onto the ground, rolling across the floor.. The cypher mused a loud "Well... at least they have a sense of humor..... my scouts reported several passage ways up ahead, along with several very dangerous areas. One of them, a laser grid which will shred anything within it, sadly, i don't have any idea how its activated. But if we do find out how to get past it, it will most likely offer the quickest route and be clear of any other danger.... Others are filled to the brim with strange hunter seekers, most likely designed for keeping the local fauna out of the structure... My scouts were unable to investigate all of them, though I have good reason to believe they all lead to the same place. A large central chamber, shaped like an Acorn. Seems to be a hive of sorts for the mantaneince drones keeping this place in working order. Though some entrances are closer to the ground floor than others so our choices now will effect how fast we get through this in the end...." He kept on walking foreward, hydrolich powerd legs makeing soft whooshing noises as they moved....

[Anaclagon]

Now it was getting complicated. They had to go in..get what they needed to get and then leave as quickly as possible. Revan and the ARC Troopers continued to follow, letting the Cypher lead the way. They were expecting enemy infantry but soo far they hadnt engaged anyway but the traps were going to be a real pain. They continued on walking quietly as they clutched their weapons..as they continued to glance around, keeping full aware of their surroundings while the Stih lord kept his hands by his side..looking around.

Assassin walked down the passage into the chamber, Gold and Beta following slowly, contemplating how the can go unnoticed. Beta jumped over the bridge, falling towards the ground far below. Beta shot flames from his feet and flew under the passage, flying down it, using a tracker to fly under Assassin. Gold did the same. This mission was the easiest he took

[Doc 42]

One of the mantanience drones filling the cavern suddenly paused, turning to take a second look at the definately not robotic figures decending down to the lower levels. After marking the targets and sending a few requests, it got back on its way, 7 specilised hunter seeker drones steering away from the cloud and zooming towards the Xoridians, small football sized machines, panels opening up to reveal short stub nosed weapons. Their guns lit up as they swooped, bullets zipping through the air....

The Cypher decended the staircase slowly with an air of caution, its twin search lights lighting up the dark hallway. It shone the beams on the dead mantanience spider and said a loud "Someone's come through here, and recently... very recently.... Left down the central passage way. I would advise we take a different route to them. More than likely they are being attacked by the structures more active guardians...." The Cypher glanced around, 6 exits were visible, each one lit by electronic lights.... He added "The choice is yours, Revan...."

[Anaclagon]

"Before we continue on..Cypher, they are others within this temple arent there, besides us..which means that we are going to be force into a confrontration with them eventually considering were all seeking the same thing. Now is there anything that your not telling me because I simply want to be prepared for it.." Revan asked, glancing at the different entrances carefully while waiting for his answer..

[C S]

Beta laughed maniacally, opening fire on the drones, the grenade like bullets exploding on contact. Pretty soon he destroyed the 7 drones. gold looked at him, a scaly eyebrow raised. Beta mumbled "They got me by....suprise...FINE! I wanted to blow stuff up, K!?"

[Doc 42]

The Cypher said simply "If you see them, avoid them. My scouts weren't your average drones. I had intended to accuire the power source with them and them alone. Not one survived and I have very little information on what finished them off. I would suggest leaving the others alive for as long as possible, that way they will remove as much threats for us as possible."

The koultian radioman contacted the Xoridians, saying with a tone of urgency"Commandos, stop mucking around out there, this isn't no f***ing game, we got heavy levels of gamma radiation in there, unless you want a gpc pulse up the A** get moving!"

[C S]

Assassin was out of the chamber and radioed "Common Beta, and boss" Gold and beta burst out from under the spirllaing path, flying to the red dot on their tracker. Assassin reapeared at the top of the chamber in the opening in the ground

[Anaclagon]

"Alright then.." Revan stated as he glared towards the tunnels. "We'll take that one, the last one on the right" The Dark Lord responded simply, he hadnt really thought off a way to just decide and he figured that with unexpected guests all searching for what they seek..they couldnt wait and have a game off decided which route was best. The choice was Revan's and he chose the farthest on the right..simple.

[Doc 42]

Suddenly, a blue swirling trail of energy screamed out of the crowd of drones, hammering into Beta's side, a blueish explosion engulfing the Xoridian's side, the culprit zipped out of the crowd, revealed to be a thin humanoid Drone with two fixed wings sticking out of its shouders, both were glowing purple, trails of purple energy flowing out of their tips. a thin rifle like cannon was attached to one of the machines arms, on the other, a small circular shield....

They Cypher, without replying, begun to stride towards the exit revan had pointed at... Within his eyes, lines of blue scanned across the screen constantly, searching for any hidden foe or trap... Unbeknownst to him, the machine was mere steps away from a pressure sensor on the ground, utilising strings and latches instead of wires to help conceal it....

[Anaclagon]

"Sir..traps are lurking everywhere, I suggest we be more aware of our surroundings..I just feel like were not as cautious as we should be" The ARC Trooper stated out of nowhere as he looked around, constantly checking his surroundings before he finally had a feeling and spoke his mind as he stopped walking as Revan looked at the trooper along with all the others. ARC Troopers also tended to be much more independent and often questioned certain parts of a stratergy..

[C S]

4 shots rang out, 2 from Gold, 1 from Assassin, one from Beta as he fell to the ground, near Assassin's feet. The bullets exploded, 3 hitting the body and one hitting the head. Beta coughed, and hissed "Ill be alright..." Assassin lifted the 6 foot tall alien and slung him over his shoulder "No one left behind" Gold growled

[Doc 42]

The machine was blown back by the shots, plumiting down the huge cavern.... then it slowed to a hover, a blur of red fizzleing away from sight infront of it, the drone's armour completely unmarked. Its arm swung up, the weapon the front glowing a bright blue. The end of the gun opened up and another blue stream blasted out, this one swirling towards Gold.... while out in the open, the machine had almost infinite room to maneuver...


The Cypher didn't notice the others stopping, his mind noticed the small click as he stood on seemless pressure tile a moment too late. Something flashed down the hall way, then a grenade hammered into the machines shield, just activated in time. The explosion send the machine flying back onto its back, red dust combusting around it... With a mechanical snarl of rage, the Cypher angrily rolled over onto its taloned feet, The dual gun barrels above his eyes opening up with gunfire, tearing the concealed grenade launcher to peices...


The battle suddenly came into sight, Joey's tripod rising higher into the air.... the city was laid infront of him, the small hill giving him a much better view... He opened up a zoom window on the Plaza where the rest of Skyfire were converging on. The rebels had mustered a suprising amount of force, urban combat mechs and gunships flowing in on them. Then he an explosion poping up next to Drek's tripod as it exited a street, the machine leaning with the force and bashing into the building opposite it, more explosions poped up around its armoured shell and legs. He brought the zoom window closer, running several scans with trained movements of his fingers, radiation was highlighted around the building on the opposite side of the street, some sort of ambush. Then he heard Drek calling across the radio "Skyfire 3, taking heavy shield damage, we got adv infantary here!" Mac cursed over the radio "Sky fire6, Newbie, this is your moment! keep us covered! Vicky, head for the river. Adam, make best speed to the space port and blow to sh**"

Adv infantary.... one of the most dangerous things in warfare.

Joey spotted them, three soilders sprinting across a rooftop, several buildings away from Drek. they leapt through the air, he brought up his ion cannons. Dammit! The soilders smashed through some windows on the next building, proceeding through cover. Then he spotted another one, a suited soilder falling into a crouch opposite Drek's Invader and bringing up a telescopic rocket launcher. The weapons spat out a puff of smoke and a missile zipped out, hammering into Drek's shield directly, no special nano shield detonateing it prematurely. The result was obvious even from Joey's point of view, the Invader surrounded by a sheet of fizzleing red... The soilder leapt through the air actually summersaulting through the hole in the shield and landing onto the Invader, his rifle spitting rounds into the machines armour. Another leapt through the air. Joey's index finger slid across the touch pad, a blue line connected to a blue figure on his targeter screen. He clicked his thumb down. With an echoing thump, a white beam connected the weapon to the rebel adv soilder so many miles away, the entire surface of the suit exploded, the man inside it being imploded and incinerated at the same time... In mid air. Another beam connected his second ion cannon to a third soilder prepareing to jump, suffering a similar fate to that of his comrade. The others scattered. Drek's tripod stumbled down the street, leaning this way and that as explosions ripped through its armour, the soilder ontop of it indiscriminately doing his best to cripple the machine. Two clawed hands extended out from the tripods shell, twisting around and snakeing towards the soilder, scrabbleing to get a hold of the troublesome soilder. An explosion marked a grenade hammering into one and blowing it back, but then the other swooped in and grabbed hold of the adv soilders back, pulling him into the air and flinging him towards the ground. Joey heard Drek gloat over the radio "Got you you little motherf***er" One of the Invaders feet rose into the air and then swung down, pancakeing the downed soilder, a sparking flash poping up around its foot as the suits reactor went off.

Joey panned his view screen around slightly, examining the buildings. There was still more Adv infantary out there, and he wanted to bag a few more of them...

[Anaclagon]

"Good call trooper" Revan stated in a rather amused voice as he watched the Cypher retaliate.

"Thank you sir" The ARC Trooper simply responded as the other ARC Troopers only shrugged, they each all had their independent personalities. It was good the ARC's had their own personalities as they could question orders and such and display their own concerns, something other regular could not do. Still..they were in a hostile situation as the ARC Troopers clutched their weapons as they glared down the hall way..

Meanwhile the Imperial was still in orbit, awaiting for Revan and the ARC Troopers to return.

[C S]

Gold shot a strong blast from his feet, zipping up while firing short burst of plasma renade bullets at the robot. Assassin pulled out what would look like a yoyo with a blue sotton sticking out of it. Assassin pressed the button and threw the yoyo while the string was around his finger. After a few seconds, 3 plasma swords shot out, making it a ninja star. The string fell out and the yoyo ninja star flew at the robot, the blade's slicing through it's armor and exploding. Gold looked at Assassin and hissed "ANOTHER Pyromaniac." Assassin replied "We're Xordians, Pyromaniacs at heart"

[Doc 42]

The drone was thrown back by the explosion, tumbleing down toward the ground floor... flames issueing out of its wing tips...

three more similar drones leapt off the platform at the very top of the cavern, wings slideing out and takeing flight. Aiming their GPC rifles down at the Xoridians and releaseing jets of the swirling energy down at them while simultaneously spreading out, zipping through the air.

By the time the Cypher stoped shooting, the grenade launchers hideing spot was little more than a few holes in a smokeing sheet of metal. Without speaking, the Cypher opened his wings, jets activateing and bringing himself into a hover, he had to try to stop himself from accidently incinerateing the imperials as he tilted the wings foreward, glideing down the hallway, now seriously annoyed.

[Anaclagon]

"Im assuming that ones trap that wont be working.." Revan asked as he looked at the Cypher as the ARC Troopers looked towards Revan as they followed along accordingly, keeping their distance so they wouldnt get burnt. Revan paused for a moment, thinking as if he was looking for something or sensing something as well but he still continued on walking..eager to get the treasure and leave and start putting it into use..
