Time For A Strike

[The Balance]

Walking away from the ship, Kyle shouted "Good Luck." and then kept on moving to the resistance base to tell them what was going to happen. Going through the gate Kyle motioned for the rest to follow, and kept on walking to make sure their caraven was already here. Apon seeing the speeders parked in a circle and the supplies being taken to warehouses around the camp, Kyle continued walking into the command bunker. Steping down the flights of stairs, the way was light no longer by sunlight, but by artifical light. As he continued to make his way to the door down the hallway where the resistance leaders were he started to think about what could happen because of this mission. He could lose, his second-in-command, his two chapter leaders, and 50 of his best men, nevermind the deaths of many resistance members. Even though the stakes were high he knew his men would succeed, he had faith in them, no sith orginazation could stop them. Opening the door and taking a seat Kyle laid out the plan for the leaders, none of them had any objection, but that wouldn't matter because Kyle wouldn't let any of their objections stop him from protecting his men. They had 300 men total fifty of those agents already inside the city, of the remaining 250 they could only spare 200, 20 land speeders, and 20 sets of artillery still it would be enough they would not have to take the city just provide a distraction. Remaining in his seat Kyle prepared the strategy in his mind, stall, thats all he had to do.

Ruukil finished his cleaning and went to find something to do. He found a man wishing for him to give more information about himself due to his status as a new recruit. Ruukil filled out the information and continued on. Ruukil began to wander the area in search for something to do.

 

[Santoro]

The Rogue Jedi pushed forward on the thrusters, and the Phoenix lifted off the docking bay, the strike team on board. He looked around the cockpit- just himself, Caden, and Hoppy, quite a trio. The red ship soared free of the hangar and headed on the slow loop towards the city.

In only a few minutes, the skyline came into view, and a voice came over the speakers.

"Incoming frigate, please send transponder codes." Caden did so, and after a stressful minute, they were given clearance. Santoro opened the doorway to the passenger compartment.

"Alright everyone, we've got clearance... We should be passing over the anti-aircraft guns in a few seconds, and THEN it gets fun. Strap in."

 

[Wing]

OOC: Hey I was in the strike team.

 

[Emma Lou]

OOC: No you weren't

 

[Wing]

OOC: Oh, nevermind.

 

[Emma Lou]

Adriana, who took orders from no one, walked into the cockpit and looked at both men. They are strange, she thought to herself. She walked over to Santoro's chair and started to talk.

"The Akegata are here. I believe that the only reason we got clearance is because they want us to come into the city. They are waiting for us."

 

[Santoro]

As if reading her mind, he smiled, glanced at Caden, and shrugged. He looked back to the controls when she asked her question.

"Yeah, it makes sense. Well... Expecting us or not, they sure as hell aren't ready for this ship, or the people aboard it. I don't know much about these guys, but if they're anything like the Sith, then their arrogance will keep them from doing much harm."

 

[Emma Lou]

Adriana did not like their cocky attitude. If they kept it then they would surely die. Unlike most people, Adriana had done her research on the Akegata after the failed mission. She knew that they were a secret organization, but there was always someone willing to exploit groups.

"The Akegata are lethal trained fighter in stealth and in the Force. How many Force users are there with us? Not many. As for the ship, not very stealthy. We will be in for much more then we bargained for with this fight."

 

[Johnnysaurus Rex]

Kaizo sat by the door in the cockpit. His eyes widened at the comparison of the Akegata to Sith. They were fighting FORCE USERS! Of course Kai had noticed that a few of the Midnight Men carried lightsabers but they were on his side. He had never thought he would be fighting a force trained opponent. The Force was a huge mystery to him. Kai had heard tales of it's power and in the hands of the right people, the carnage. But he had signed on for this mission. He would do his duty.

"So, we are walking into an ambush?"

 

[Emma Lou]

Adriana turned and looked at Kaizo. She did not want to say yes, but at the same time she could not say no.

"I am just saying that I am not ruling out any possibilities. I am just a little scared and I want to lay all the cards out on the table. We cannot go in there with lightsabers drawn and guns firing. We have to be tactful and cunning."

 

[Johnnysaurus Rex]

"Well, we could use out numbers to our advantage. They don't know how many of us are on this ship. Send all but one or two out and use them as overwatch just in case things go South. But, don't you Jedi 'sense' people? That is the only problem I see."

 

[Santoro]

Caden nodded, and turned in his chair, looking to Adriana.

"Assassins or not, I've fought some mean shit in this galaxy, and I've come out alright. Keep in mind this ship has eight laser cannons, no matter how strong in the Force you are, you can't survive that barrage." He shrugged, and looked to Santoro.

"Plus, I don't think the old man's stupid enough to go in without a plan. I've seen his scars, he knows what they can do."

Santoro went pale, and simply nodded. He looked out the viewport, as their designated dock went under them. He kicked on all of the thrusters, and resisted as he was pushed back into his seat.

"Coming up on the landing zone."

 

[Emma Lou]

"I like your idea, Kaizo. Yes, Jedi can sense people, but the problem with the Akegata is that they can cloak themselves in the Force."

She looked at Santoro with worry. He was getting a little old for these types of missions.

 

[Santoro]

Santoro shot a look to Adriana, and rolled his eyes, a smile on his face. Suddenly, she could no longer feel his presence in the Force, it was as if he wasn't there. The turbolasers came to life, spewing red bolts down on the park in front of city hall, destroying the trees, ground, and security guards below.

 

[Emma Lou]

Adriana smacked him in the back of the head.

"They can do it to and I am not sure what part of stealth you do not understand."

He had been testing her patience lately, but now was the wrong time.

 

[Will]

One of the Katyen on watch saw the shots from the sky. He pressed a button on a commlinnk, confirming the sighting. Half of the heavy repeater blasters swiveled up, to the origin, whilst the rest kept overwatch on the ground.


Zamiel looked up to the sky. He could 'see' where the enemy was, just by the force signatures they had. They were not trained in the art of stealth. He smiled. This fight would be fun...

 

[Santoro]

"Stealth? Sweetheart, they knew we were coming the second we passed our landing bay." Caden shook his head and stood, slapping the button for the landing ramp and turning to head out. The Phoenix was only a few meters from the ground, hovering. Turbolasers blasted away at likely enemy locations, as computed by Hoppy.

Santoro stood as well, starting the ship's preset course... Circling the city, away from threats. He shrugged apologetically at Adriana, and charged out too. Both men leaped from the low flying craft, Santoro drawing his lightsaber and Caden his assault rifle. The two moved strategically towards the piece of cover Hoppy had left for them, Santoro providing cover for the pirate, the pirate gunning down any stray militia.

 

[Will]

THe PDF forces were ready as soon the group hit the ground. Two squads moved for the pair, a Katyen following on the rooftops. He would only engage if needed...

 

[Lavi]

The taste of battle is exhilarating to Hattie, her finger twitching on the trigger of her blaster carbine (even though the safety switch is still on). When the landing ramp lowered, the corporal aligned herself at the trim of the opening, to the side so that she could avoid the majority of the fire. Stealth is a myth now: now there is only battle.

No doubt there would be hidden hostiles among this urban setting, and a hand covers the pad that controls the opening and closing of the landing ramp. If the enemy decides to aim turbolasers at the opening… No, that would not happen.
