Mission 1: Pirates Attack

[Sarla Malvern]

Sarla Malvern had just finished showing @Zan and Drali and @Milo Vemec Drast, around the Malvern estates. She was unsure why Zan was interested in the tour, as she did not seem the ennobled type. Milo, however, he was a Drast and he was a member of one highest ranking noble families in the galaxy. As the tour came to an end, they were heading back to Malvern manner house. This is was she lived, and they had guest rooms, as well as study they could have a quiet drink and some food.

As they speeder approached the manner house, they saw a freighter pass over them. She turned to guests and said The freighter not due yet. She had not realized yet, that this was not one of theirs, but a pirate freighter. That was going to raid their warehouses, steal their goods stored there. Then less than a minute later, the alarm went off, it a loud whirling noise. Troops began to move towards the warehouses, to try and repel the attack. The guard came to her and said My Lady, the warehouse is being attacked. Can you please assist us. She nodded as to say yes, and then turned to her guest, and asked them I can not ask you to help, as you are my guests. Though if you not going to help, I have to ask you to take shelter in my home till this over. The speed pilot would take them straight to warehouses, as soon as they got out, or said they were staying.

Milo was back home again. Unlike many other Sith, he relished visits like these, and took the time to soak in the areas he had grown up around. The people were not as lovely—most were spineless nobles, complacent among their hoards of gold—but he didn't let it ruin his experience. The Crusader's eyes were on the night sky, searching for constellations he had learned, when a freighter tore across like a shooting star. A moment later, alarms began blaring, and he rose from his seat, lightsaber already in hand. Serenno was well defended, but small disturbances sometimes got through—this was one of them, it seemed.

Milo held a hand up as she offered to let them hide, shaking his head. "No true Sith would hide at the first sign of danger," he replied, already making for the door. The guard lead them to the warehouse at a hurried pace, and Milo held the hilt of his lightsaber in his hand unignited until the doors swung open, revealing what had quickly turned to a battlefield.

Crates lay upturned on their sides, spilling everything from spices to droid parts. A few of them had been completely obliterated by blaster bolts, and their remains were poured out in small lumps on the duracrete floor. Pirates clashed with guards in a battle rivaling the assault on Al'doleem. A bolt slammed into the wall at Milo's right side, and he ignited his lightsaber. Free-lancers were an easy enough target.

It was so pretty. Everything seemed to be made like a piece of art but all went together. Drali looked around in amazement with some child like awe during the tour. She managed to keep herself from exclaiming at every little thing or staring for too long. Still, she was not used to the splendor of the high society. <"I think I'll buy this place when I get rich."> She said in deucalik like a kid who had seen a cool new toy they knew they would not be able to afford for a long time.

It seemed the shipment was coming early though. Stopping herself from examining some of the trimmed bushes too closely Drali returned to the present with her fellow Sith and compose herself. "Coming early is a good thing though. It's better than being late" She said optimistically before she was contradicted by the klaxons that sounded off.

When asked if she wanted to hide she shook her head and threw a thumb towards the other acolyte. "Um, what Mood-dude said." She seconded Milo's words. She had not seen him around really and did not know his name. "Does this mean we have to work though?" The Deucalian woman inquired, a hint of apathy in her voice rather than fear that normally people tended to have when faced with inevitable violence. Ultimately Drali would follow Milo since he seemed to have paid more attention to what was actually going on and less towards the fine shrubbery that was in the area around them.

She gave @Milo Vemec Drast a nod in appreciation for his kind words, then @Zan and Drali spoke she just replied in flat voice Yes. The speeder then took them towards the battle, she was not dressed for battle, she was dressed to give a guided tour. She took her cape off and stored it in the speeder as they moved towards the battle. As they approached, they could see smoke in the distances, and the sound of blaster fire was getting louder and louder. As they got close, they could hear the screams of people dying and injured.

She quickly got out of the speeder and went to assess the front line. The pirates were already in the middle of their raid, they had a lot of smoke on the ground, to screen their numbers and their activities. She had no idea how many there were, and if they already started to load the ore or not. She ignited her lightsaber staff and began to move to a place of cover, she needs to figure out the best plan of attack. She did not want to die, thanks to some stray blaster shot. She then began to move, towards the smoke. She was on her guard for blaster fire, as she moved quickly she began taking fire. She used a force bubble to protect her, it soon went down with shots that were coming at her. Though it severed its purpose and kept her alive and well, though she was little drained by it. She was only just about to get in range to fight the pirates, but at least she had closed the gap.

He didn't spend long pondering the nickname Drali had given him—other than to frown for a second, instead focusing on the action. Someone had chucked a smoke grenade a few moments ago, so Milo was struggling to peer through the thick blanket at the hangar ahead. He closed his eyes—a dangerous enough move—and reached out through the Force. It was the kindest he had been to the Force in months, the Sith generally relying on pushes and pulls that bend its will, and it felt strange. He supposed that is what Jedi felt when channeling it, but he had never been a light-sider, so he was not used to such...gentleness.

The hangar ahead was mapped out on the backs of his eyelids, and Milo stepped forward confidently, slashing his lightsaber at the upper torso of a pirate—which it sliced in two horizontally, dropping the man before he could even raise his blaster. The pirates, however, had equipped themselves for the occasion; each had a pair of thermal vision goggles and were now looking directly at the newcomers. While it would be impossible to discern their fellow pirates from the Sith, Milo supposed friendly fire was not an issue for such criminals, and his lightsaber only made it more obvious who to shoot at. A bolt slammed into his right side as he cut the man down, but he turned, deflecting the next one directly back toward its sender. The man—not expecting such harsh opposition from a seemingly distracted target—took the hit on his collarbone, and it was enough to knock him out.

Slashing through the crowd of distracted pirates, Milo made his way toward the back of the room, seeking to secure the area and eliminate the threat as quickly as possible.

The woman wrinkled her nose in displeasure. Drali just wanted to sit in the nice grass and enjoy a pretty day with some peace and quiet. Maybe eat some sweets or have a drink of over priced alcohol. But now that was ruined, ruined by these pirates or whatever they were.

After the other two got out she unslung her laestrin blaster from her shoulder and followed after the broody looking male. Once she was in sight of a few of the pirates she began firing. One pirate, two pirates, red pirate, dead pirates ... no wait. That's not how that rhym goes. She thought to herself as she placed shot after shot into the chest of the corsairs that were foolishly making themselves visible to her.

She finally finished her charge, she was in the smoke of the battle. As she got there, she pulled one of the pirates towards her. As he was pulled towards her, she put her lightsaber blade in his path. So as he flew the short distance towards her, he hit her blade and had his arm cut off. The served limb kept moving a short distance before the deck, he was grasping to his arm. Then stray blaster shot hit him in the head, he fell to the ground dead as a doornail. She could hear machines loading in the stuff, they were in the warehouse stealing from her house.

As she moved forward to get towards her next victim, she got shot in the back. She felt down to the ground, in a heap. She was hurt, the shot had skimmed her back. She needs to get a defend herself, also she did not like having a dead mans arm in her face.

[Darth Parox]

He noted Zan cutting through the pirates but not pushing in any specific direction, while Sarla got shot in the back and fell down. Milo wasn't sure if she had died, but would not take the time to check. He was surrounded by enemies who were actively trying to kill him; stopping now was not an option. The Crusader swept forward, deeper into the fog that had apparently reached its peak. The smoke would clear in a few more seconds, and he preferred to have it clear onto a battlefield rid of any enemies.

Cleaving another pirate in two, he reached the back wall of the warehouse. Milo was about to start heading East, but found that there were no thugs left to fight there, so he turned around instead. "Clear?" he asked, lightsaber still raised.

The others were eager to push in and while Drali was not interest in immediate melee she was also aware that going too deep into an enemy formation was a big risk. They could surround the from behind. So the Deucalian sith choose to slowly advance. Any enemy that popped into view as Drali strode forth earned two blaster bolts at least. As she moved in she realized that she was going to need to reload soon and picked up the pace.

Dipping into the cover along side the wall her large frame stayed there. Drali still had a few rounds left but decided to reload early rather than later. Still, she would hold onto the ammunition canister in case she ran completely dry. It seemed like there were quite a few pirates here. More target practice for Drali then it would seem.

[Sarla Malvern]

Sarla had been shot in the back in the chaos, she was okay. She rolled over, the dead man's arm was now under her head. She used the force to pull the man who had shot her, the mand flew towards her. She put her blade out, and it impaled him upon it. His dead body almost fell on top of her, she just managed to roll out of the way. Then she began getting up, she looked around the smoke was beginning to clear, the pirates were now on the run. They were heading back to the ships, though they had already loaded some things into the ships. The fight was almost over, the ships would soon be blasting off, leaving the dead, the injured and any stragglers behind. She began looking for targets, as she could see more clearly now.

A blaster bolt whizzed past the back of his neck, close enough for Milo to feel the heat passing by. He turned to his right and stared directly into the barrel of a pirate meters away, but he didn't maintain the gaze for long. The Sith charged forward, blade first, and thrust it into the man's chest before he could shoot again. "Clear??" he called out again, irritated that none of his companions deemed it necessary to communicate whether they were safe or not. He could have gotten shot because of it.

Ships left the hangar, and it was clear the pirates were retreating. Milo turned and watched them flee, extinguishing his lightsaber as the last of the pirates fell. The warehouse was littered with bodies and debris, but that was none of his business. He had helped defend—Sarla could always just ask servants to clean up the mess they'd left behind.

"Pew... pew.. pew pew. pew, pewpewpew." the decualian spoke in a playful tone as she continued to move around. She shot the pirates trying to leave. Drali's sound effects were in time with the trigger pulls of her weapon and watched as shot after shot hit the corsairs in their backs. After it was obvious that most of them had left she relaxed her arms and lowered the trusty weapon.

Turning to look at the rest of the carnage Drali heard the swish swoshing of lightsabers moving somewhere nearby and then a all from the moody acolyte. "I mean... it's a bit smoky." she answered seriously not realizing Milo was not asking about visibility but rather if there were enemies around. "But at least the pirates are gone." She said and removed her spent ammunition container and reloaded out of habit.

@Sabrina @vamp

 

[Sarla Malvern]

The pirates are going, going gone, their ships were now taking off, they have stolen from them. They have taken a fair few lives from the house Malvern as well. She would avenge them, she did not know how for now, but she would. She looked up as they left the surface of Serenno, to get were every they where going. She was angry, she was sore, she was also in pain. She did not like the fact these people, saw her family as weak, and defenseless. They had to do something, or they just come back, and back again. A tear came down her face, and she was stressed, about what scum took advantage of the noble House Malvern. She swore revenge, she swore she do what she had to do to stop this happening again.

She turned to her guests, @Milo Vemec Drast and @Zan and Drali and said Thank you for your help, if you need anything please don't hesitate to ask. She head back to her house alone, she had to think about what to do next.
