Space E-war

[The Kingpin]

Serephir looked at the Bodyguards, hoping that Grievous wouldn't be too upset if he wrecked the Bodyguards. he knew for a fact many of the Bodyguard Droids used by various factions were programmed to actually learn. he hoped he didn't lose too much valuable information for Grievous in combat. holding his swords at his sides, he stepped forward...

"Woah....look at the wreckage" said Blaze, completely awestruck. "No wonder he's practically in charge of Vardia...he mangled those Droids and hasn't even broken a sweat yet!" he said, though Xander and Alex ignored him, instead eying the Bodyguards, wary. they were both extraordinary marksmen, and, should something occur that resulted in Serephir requiring their assistance, they would be prepared to handle it, even at this distance...

One of the bodyguards stepped forward, Electrostaff spinning with a distinctive buzz. It stepped forward, thrusting at Serephir with the energized tip.

[Doc 42]

Thara was only half paying attention to what serephir was doing out side... Behind his visor, the koultian was stareing at Blaze... He knew lots about robotics and electronics. His dad used to used to have a mining drone and he taught Thara how to program it....

Right now, he was almost sure of it. An Ai was following them... It wasn't only the droid, he had noticed several things acting strangely. Only problem was that it just didn't add up. If an Ai was tracking them, then they wouldn't know it was there... Unless it was tracking someone else... or if it wanted to be noticed...

Still, if it was really one of the marican super drones, as unbelievly unlikey as it was, Serephirs odds just got alot worse....

[The Kingpin]

Serephir bent back and brought his swords up, crossing them below the electrostaff, raising it up and moving the hilts inwards, creating a scissor movement, slicing the head off the staff as Serephir twisted, roundhouse kicking the Bodyguard back...

[dinoman666]

OOC: Very few weapons can cut through the Electrostaffs. They're like metal Lightsabers in that regard.

The MagnaGuard stumbled back, but sprang forward with surprising speed, smashing the side of the staff into Serephir's legs in an attempt to trip him.

[The Kingpin]

OOC: Serephir's 3 swords [the third one especially] aren't your regular weapon, nor are they made from naturally available materials, hence why they managed to cut, though with some difficulty.

Serephir was tripped by the blow, but caught himself on his knuckles and turned it into a roll, leaning on one knuckle, then the other, then back onto his feet as he swung his swords into the attacker's electrostaff in two points, giving an enhanced boost to the blow on impact, the force being enough to knock the weapon out of the Guard's hands, before twisting back, holding one sword forward in front of him and the other over him, in a martial arts-like stance...

[dinoman666]

The bodyguard paused, then tore off the cloak it was wearing and crouched down. Two hatches in its back opened and launched a pair of missiles up into the air, which then flew at Serephir from above in a staggered formation. The bodyguards rolled to the side and plucked his damaged staff, one end still activated, and readied itself in a defensive position.

[The Kingpin]

Serephir leapt back, making space between himself and the missiles, the two suddenly swerving off and turning to collide with eachother as he landed on the ground, a smirk on his face. he was enjoying this. straightening up, he ran at the Bodyguard, moving in a zigzag movement until he was close to the Bodyguard. he swung one blade down at the legs as he twisted, offering a distraction for the guard's electrostaff, before suddenly twisting and slashing the head off the drone, stopping a few feet away from it swords at his sides as he looked over his shoulder at the remaining guards...

[dinoman666]

The decapitated bodyguard, however, didn't collapse. Instead, its backup photoreceptor in its torso activated and the droid sprang forward, slamming the tip of its Electrostaff into his unprotected back, sending a stunning surge of energy up his spine.

[The Kingpin]

Serephir suddenly seemed to disappear, reappearing a second later behind the Guard, swinging both blades down from above, the two 5 foot long swords slashing the guard's two arms off, before reaching leg level, twisting the outer edges of the blades inwards and slashing both legs off, before atraightening and kicking the torso off, the thing splitting in half as a slight flash indicated the sun had shined of his sword as he struck, though his blade was back in it's scabbard so fast the strike wasn't even seen.. his two cloaks and his battle armour underneath had protected him entirely from the Electrostaff's blow, it's weakness not even getting past the first of the 3 layer defensive clothing. "They're a decent improvement on the drones. a good warm up...next?" called Serephir through the mic in his gauntlet, letting the others in the observation room hear him through Xander's gauntlet speaker. meanwhile, he was aware of the wreckage around him, focused on his surroundings, expecting one to have snuck away and use the wreckage as cover...

[dinoman666]

Grievous chuckled, and his antennae twitched. The three remaining bodyguards turned away and walked back to the control room, and Grievous walked out. "Time to see just how good you really are, General." He shrugged off his cloak, pulling a couple of Lightsabers out of it at the same time as he walked across the wreckage strewn field.

[Doc 42]

Thara's eyes flicked between Grevious and Serephir then to Blaze.... unsure of what should be done... Then a hissing disembodied voice whisspered into the radio in his ear "You know what I am?" Thara barely managed to resist jumping in shock, his hud showed a new contact. He cursed himself for not finding out everyones personal radio information earlier. He whisspered into his mic, thanking the airtight balistic shield for hiding his voice from the others. "...Yes... I do..." The voice hissed in a tone of satisfaction "Finally... Took you long enough, Thara.... I've been dropping hints for the last 4 hours. For a while I thought it was hopeless." Thara replied, gritting his teeth "Where are you?" The voice teased "Nearby... in this very room... I could be OOM-6... I could be sneaking around in Xander's mobile... orrrrr I could be probeing plucky young blaze's gauntlet... Take your choice...."

Thara waited for a moment, thinking. He was sure Blaze was the one, but he didn't want it to know that. He said "Xander's mobile" The voice released hissing laughter before answering "No......" Then the radio connection cut off. A short ringing came into his ear and the icon of a phone appeared at the side of his hud, automatically being answered.
The same voice crackled through "but now I am!" laughter rang through the call and the icon slid away, the ai hanging up on him... gone from Xanders phone...

Thara swore. What he had just learned was good and bad. Good, it wanted him to notice it, therefore it wasn't planning on killing him directly, at least not yet. The bad, it was seemlessly infiltrateing the entire team. It was impossible. No mere program could do such a thing... Without a wireless connection, some form of transport... Maybe it had used wireless, just hidden its presence. He didn't know. One of the few things he knew about the Mind's was that they broke a good deal of the rules behind robotics....


Meanwhile, on Ka'roll, the koultian warriors had drifted apart, all climbing down different parts of the tunnel, having been lulled into a false sense of security.... One soilder, quite distant from the others, was moving at quick pace. Suddenly his foot kicked through air and he dropped, his hands digging into the rock before tearing a chunk off and falling away. He landed with a thump into a small tunnel inside of the shaft which had caused his short fall... He cursed over the radio "Argh! I hate this god damn place! just nearly dropped...." He begun getting to his feet, his suit having protected him from any harm...


The Cypher was floating in a low orbit, ready to make for the ground at the first signs of combat.... He had already decided what to use. In space, his arms were disigned to work together, forming a tunnel with which he could launch plasma bursts thousands of miles in seconds flat. But on ground, he could just use both arms independantly, firing without charging up. It wouldn't be a quarter of the power of his space solution but it would be more than enough to shred the tyranid hordes..

[dinoman666]

Elch waited impatiently for the Koults' response. He looked around the bridge of his ship. He was running on a veritable skeleton crew. Most of Sangheili had been killed, and those that had survived were mostly wounded.

A hideous chittering sounded from below the Koult soldier, and something new appeared. It had a short, cylindrical body with a shapeless head capped with several feelers. It had two jointed legs with many-toed feet that jutted out from the side of its body and enabled it to scurry up the shaft at the Koult. Branching from its head were two more limbs, ending in scissor-like pincers. Three of the scrawny things appeared from the darkness, each one as long as the Koult was tall. The first one leaped at the Koult, two more hanging back to see what would happen...

[Doc 42]

OOC: Sorry, I thought the ship was on its way down already

The soilder fell back, the attack being unexpected, as he did so, he brought up a pistol like weapon, firing several shots towards the creature, the fall putting his targeting system off key for just a moment, sending a few of the bullets wide.

The radio man growled to the sanghelli ship "thank you for waiting... The co-ordinates I gave you are in a meadow near the swamp forests, we don't have any space ports big enough to cater for your ship. Do not worry, we will be able to repair you there. But do not leave your ship unarmed, I repeat, do not leave unarmed. The forest is home to many dangerous creatures and recently we have had increased reports of missing persons. Koultian fighters shall escort you to the ground once you break the atmosphere. Koult foreign afairs, Over and out."

[dinoman666]

Elch sighed with relief and directed the cruiser down to the planet's atmosphere to get to the designated coordinates.

The creature took a couple bullets, shrieking, but didn't even flinch. It scurried up the wall, pincers flailing. One caught the Koult's arm and it squeezed, trying to wrench the metal apart. It lashed out with the other pincer and snapped at the pistol, trying to rip it out of the soldier's hands.

[The Kingpin]

Serephir smirked. he brought his swords up, forming an X shape in front of him. "You might want to be careful, General...these blades are rather sharp...and if you try and take a blow at one of my blades too close to the hilt of your weapons, yours may end up getting damaged. I'd hate to be the cause of one of your weapons' destruction" he commented as he lowered the swords, holding them at his sides...

[dinoman666]

"Don't worry," replied Grievous. "I have plenty more Lightsabers where that came from. And my armor should be useful protection." He spun the Lightsabers and went into a half-crouch, yellow eyes boring into Serephir's. "Your move."

[The Kingpin]

Serephir's cat-like, rich golden eyes stared back, a smirk coming onto Serephir's face as he went into a battle crouch, dashing forward, zipping to the General's right, seemingly disappearing at the last second, appearing at his left, the 5 foot long Katana in his left hand swinging at Grievous' torso...

[dinoman666]

Grievous, with blurring speed, crouched completely, the sword swinging over his head. Standing up just as quickly, Grievous spun to face Serephir, both Lightsabers slashing at Serephir's gut.

[The Kingpin]

Serephir swung his sword back, stopping the Sabers from hitting him as he got close to a stop, before forcing both bades away, knocking Grievous off balance slightly, roundhouse kicking him away. raising one sword over his head as he went into a battle crouch, the other held sideways defensively infront of him, he prepared for a second attack...
