Space E-war

[C S]

Beta, who was using the last of his strength, grabbed Gold's spear gun and shot it, the spear spiralling through the air and into it's head. He started to swing around it and onto it's back with the gun was reeling the harpoon in. He shot up and into the back of the robot's head with the plasma grenades. Assassin used this to run out of the way. Gold ran around the robot, also firing at it with plasma grenades

[Doc 42]

The explosions of the grenades were gradually sending the machine off balance, its shield almost constantly fizzleing with red sparks. One of its legs swung out, tripping up Gold. The guardian reared back, raiseing two of its front feet above Golds back, ready to stab him.

The Cypher was makeing quick progress down the side of the cavern, almost slideing down it and useing his thrusters to keep in a level steer. Infact, he had already programed the necessary moves into the OWL in order to bring him to the bottem without effort.

[C S]

Gold rolled onto his back. He shot out green flames from his feet as he opened fire on the garudian, the grenade explosions against it's stomach sending it toppling back. Beta shot flames from his hands, taking off from the falling robot.

[Doc 42]

The machine barely caught itself, its legs supporting it from the near fall. It reared up, standing on its back four legs while its remaning legs curved back before lashing out at Beta, one of them catching his ankle, the blade sliceing through the armour and bone with ease. The aiming laser targeted Gold, a red dot landing onto his back. The machine drew its hands together, both glowing orange once more....

[Anaclagon]

The ARC Troopers were quite suprised on how quickly the Cypher was moving but Revan was eager as well as he motioned his head towards them as they nodded and followed. The troopers however paused along with Revan but they followed as typical. Revan and his troopers began to slide down the side of the cavarn, it was akward and could have been fun for some other people but it wasnt the right time..there could have been traps..

[C S]

Beta, how ever painfull, pulled his ankle off the blade and sent flames spiralling into it's face. Assassin ran out of the way of the attack, hiding behind the robot as it was blinded. Beta blasted his way back, out of reach of the blades. He then flew in a counter clockwise motion areound the robot. The three Xordian soldiers opened fire on the robot, the simultaneous blasts rocking it...

[Doc 42]

The Cypher didn't notice the battle below, too caught up in watching for traps...

The guardian suddenly shifted to the side, dodging one shot, it pounced back, dodging another, the third, exploded prematurely. The machines hands disconnected, however, they still glowed orange. One hand aimed up, blasting a thin pulse beam at Beta, but missing, the other hand slung around, pointing right towards assassin, the machines head snaped around to look at him, the red aiming laser falling onto the Xoridians chest. The Guardians arm jumped back as the pulse fired, the orange beam peircing right through his body and hammering into the wall behind him, throwing the critically wounded Xoridian backwards.

[Anaclagon]

"Well this is an interesting ride.." One trooper stated as they continued on sliding. Several of the troopers looked at each other..they felt like they were hearing something as they clutchted their weapons. The Cypher was up ahead as Revan and his men werent too far behind. The Dark Lord narrowed his eyes..he felt something..

"Hey Cypher..how is it up ahead!" Revan called out..

[C S]

Gold exclaimed "YOU METAL *******!" And continued to open fire. Beta over to Assassin, who was breathing raspilly. He growled "Beta, help....finish the mission...and get your scaley as* off this wicker ball planet" Beta nodded. Assassin gave him his ammunition and took his last breath, a puff of flame and smoke. His fire went out. Beta, thinking fast, took a yoyo bomb and pressed the blue botton, the blades sliding out. He pulled out the string and threw it, it flying and embedding it's self in the robot's head, exploding, the robot's head mushrooming out, wire and other internal parts hung out of the gaping hole in it.

[Doc 42]

The Cypher's left wing tilted up slightly, pushing the Owl fighter out of the passage way for a moment to see below. he banked back in and radioed Revan "looks we have finally caught up with our freinds, they are maybe 70 meters down, fighting what I guess is the final guardian this place has to offer.... It looks close to death, but chances are we will reach them before that. Plan of action, im afraid, is completely up to you..."

The guardian staggered, sparks blasting out of its head, only one of its eyes was left, but it was cracked and had sparks bursting out of it... The one thing it didn't do was die. It suddenly started strideing towards Beta, rising one foot, prepareing to impale the xoridian...

[Anaclagon]

"They seek what we seek..troopers, I guessing we'll be getting shot at as soon as we get seen. To make it simple..shoot them first" Revan replied as they were rapidly closing down on the exit as looked over towards his utlity belt..clutching his lightsaber..

[C S]

Beta launched into the air landing on the robot's head. He balled up white hot flame andshot it into it's head, the heat burning through every thing inside it

[Doc 42]

The machines legs swiped around aimlessly for a moment before it finally collapsed, one of its legs trying to stand on the wrong height, the entire machine hammering against the ground with a defeaning clang....

The cypher's claws hammered into the ground, slowing him to walk, he moved closer to the edge, peering down at the two Xoridian soilders and the dead guardian. He radioed Revan privately "Will fire on your command, Dark lord..."

[C S]

Beta hopped off the robot and growled "Dammit, How I wish you were real, so you actually felt flames" He walked off from the site, to the door way, where Gold already stood, trying to open it

[Anaclagon]

"There distracted..fire at will.." Revan replied back towards the Cypher as he narrowed his eyes. The ARC Troopers clutchted their weapons, smirking as they were too go in and fire and gun down every single thing that posed a threat to them..better to take them out before they got taken out..and now they had the element of surprise..

[Doc 42]

The Koult radio man's voice crackled into life "Very good work Xoridians... Very good work indeed... Place down a probe, I think I can handle this..."

The Cypher merely watched with interest, wanting to see how the imperials handled the other aliens....

[C S]

Gold dropped the white sphere which plopped to life, clanking on the metal ground, and pattering on the rock patches. Gold radioed "Uh, we lost Assassin, Nothing on Brute or Stealth. Hopefully there on their way here"

Beta was behind Gold, eyeing the impeirials. Beta radioed "Uh, hey Koults, we have some company" The helmet he wore flowed oiver his head and regained its form. In the orange tinted visor, a cross hair zoomed up. "They look impeiral, open fire?"

[Doc 42]

The circular probes top half twisted around, aiming up at the imperials. The koultian radio man exclaimed "Well I'll be damned.... Xoridians, hold your fire. Do not in any circumstance fire your weapons."

The Cypher was peering over the edge down at the aliens, stareing at the probe with interest, its guns in place above its eyes. Then, out of nowhere, it growled "Revan, Cancel that order. Do not fire in any curcumstance."

[C S]

Gold and Beta obeyed their orders. He then detected Stealth and Beta running in. Immediatly Gold fowarded the order "Stealth, Brute, do not attack the impeirials in the cavern at the end of your path, over" Stealth and Brute stopped running, perplexed at the random order, but they did as they were ordered and walked down the passage, guns holstered

[Anaclagon]

"Hold fire..why.." Revan radioed back, gritting his teeth in anger and frustration..this was changing everything but he then thought about rembering that avoiding their enemies was the original idea. The ARC Troopers cursed silently to themselves..they were ready to fire and spring into action just when the Cypher told them not too fire. The ARC Troopers still clutchted their weapons..still ready to fire.

What the ARC Troopers saw was being shown right in the Annihilator and the other Star Destroyers as the commanders and officers in charge watched..curious to see how things would work out.
