The striking Shadows

[Will]

The Crimson blade dropped out of hyperspace beside the Sith transport ship, transporting slaves and their valuables to one of the many slave labour camps throughout the Sith empire's fetid sphere of control.

''Fire the EMP cannon''

A blast hit the transport, and it slowed, finally stopping.

''OK team! we need to get there fast, before armed support shows up! to the Ships!'' Yelled Vàli Valtiere to the assembled crowd below. The assembled mercenaries ran to their ships. he pointed to hi two newest recruits.

''With me'' he ordered them. They fell in step behind him as he led them to his personal ship, the sleek, black hulled, midnight rapier. He got in, and motioned for the other two to enter.

''Stay close'' he said as the small ship left the behemoth that was the crimson blade

 

[Incubi Priest]

Rejik pulled his twin blasters, illeagealy modified, from their holsters. Both were sleek, silent, and extremely deadly. The exchange crime lord wasn't exactly used to taking orders like this, but he was used to killing sith, and at the moment thats what was required.

"We have the element of surprise. This will be a quick mission."

 

[Will]

''Don'tt be overconfidant, Rejik. These Sith transports usuall have an automated distress signal beacon. THere may be Sith armed support on it's way. We have to be quick. Also, if Sith do turn up, i'm sending away the crimson blade. It can't be destroyed. We have a rendevouz point for such times. Here we go.'' Vàli told his inquisitive second-in-command. Vàli checked his pistols, and the charge in his gloves. Excellent...

 

[Flamuck]

Gra'anrrok nodded in reply to the command and wordlessly entered the ship and began to check his cycler rifle. Five rounds loaded, sight on straight, barrel wiped clean. It wouldn't be much good in the confines of the Sith ship, but it could drop a few before he could get into melee combat with his gaderffii.

He grinned behind his breather mask. It had been too long since Gra'anrrok had been on a raid.

 

[Will]

Vàli smiled, and licked his lips. His HUD in his bionic eye told him the rest of the crew had fanned out. Excellent. He activated his Killcounter, and drew out his pistols.

********************************************************************************

The guards positioned themselves in alcoves along the corridoor from the hanger bay. The trained their pistols on the door, ready for an attack. Nothing had beatern them yet. One peered round. A shot rang out, and a bullet impaceted in the guard's neck. The explostive tipped shell ripped the guard's head from his body, the blood spraying from his stump painted the wall red. The rest of the guards shot into the doorway, but there was no obvious signs of a hit. 3 more shots rang out, and three more guards' heads exploded into red mists.

********************************************************************************
Vàli Smiled so bradly it seemed to be impossible. ''Go on, there are plenty left'' Vàli motioned for the other two to take down a few. He holstered his pistols, and clicled his fingers, the seals on them glowing for a second. He was ready for hand-to-hand.

 

[lonewolf]

Just then evey ones comlink went off. "hey its phantom im sorry im a bit slow do you guys want me to fly in or just bomb the ship as a distracion?". phantom was ready for either, he was flying around just under the ship...perfectly undetected.

 

[Will]

Vàli spoke into the commlink on his lapel. ''No Phantom, i need you and your ship here. If it can carry more than one, we need it. And the others could use some help with the guards. They're probably getting bogged down by now. I think we have it the easiest so far.'' Vàli replied nochalantly as another guard died, riddled with holes from Rejik and Gra'anrrok's guns. These two were taking to this like ducks to water. Soon... Vàli would go into hand to hand. The bloodshed would be great...

 

[lonewolf]

"its a small freighter turned fighter...ill land and be right with you..oh and if you find a keg of oil save it....an explosive could be most useful here." phantom then flew into the hangar and landed fireing many blast from the sip into the hall. He then drew his 2 blaster pistols and ran over to the others "im here" he said as he shot one in the knee and watched him drop.

 

[Will]

''Nice of you to join us. Cover me.'' Vàli grinned wolfishly. He ran straight at the remaining guard unit. He came to the first. The seals on his gloves glowed white, and he extended his palm, and used it like a blade, slicing diagonaly across the chest of him. The guard collapsed, blood spurting from his arteries, spraying onto Vàli. He came to the next. He grabbed his head, and ripped, detatching the head from the eyes up. He let the blood flow into his mout and down the throat. Now he was having fun...

 

[lonewolf]

Phantom was all that freaked out he had seen wierder if anything he was just surprised he then just shot blaster bolts into a few gaurds 3 or 4 where falling phantom was enjoying makeing these head shots "nice work captain"

 

[Hue]

OOC: I've been reading all of the stuff for the Shadows since I might join. Mostly it's been pretty good, but lonewolf... you have some issues to work out. As I read that last post, I had absolutely no idea what was going on. Try ending a sentence every once in a while. I realize this post is pretty annoying, but I had to say something.

 

[Will]

''Thank you phantom.'' Vàli replied, licking a drible of blood from his chin. He ripped the throat of the last guard out. He found him cowering in the corner.

''Ok team, move out. We need to find the slave rooms. Someone hack the terminal. I'll check up ahead.'' Vàli turned around, his red coat swishing around behind him. He looked around the corner. Good. No guards...yet...

 

[Flamuck]

Gra'anrrok followed Vali down the corridor, leaving Rejik to hack the terminal. He slung his rifle on his back and hefted his gaderffii. Glancing about, he saw no indication of where the slave quarters would be.

The melee had ended a bit too quickly for his taste... not even the fiercest Tusken warrior had fought as ferociously or as well as he had just seen Vali fight. He was glad he was not this man's enemy. Hopefully, Gra'anrrok could gain honorable victory himself by the time the raid was over. There would be many opportunities yet.

Gra'anrrok stepped around the corner, having seen Vali glance around it and do nothing, and thus assuming that there would be no enemies. He proceeded to walk cautiously down the corridor, waiting for a second alarm to sound. The rest of the guards would be suspicious when they heard nothing from these. He would be ready for them.

 

[Will]

Vàli watched as his Tusken Ally walked on further. Good. No alarms yet. Just as long as there were no more patrols... this would go smoothly.

*Nosferatu?* There was a buzzing in his ear from his commlink.
''What is it Morkar?'' Vàli replied. One of his most trusted men, Morkar was a human mercenary, covered head to toe in powered armour stonger than mandalorian steel. He was a scary man to face.

*Sir, we found the slave quarters. They are about 200 metres down your corridoor. We aren't sure if there'll be resistence on the way, sir.* Vàli smiled
''I hope there will be. Nosferatu out.'' He turned to the others. ''Ok! we have the location of the slave quarters! follow me! weapons at the ready. There won't be room for shooting i'm afraid. Bad luck to those that like hiding in alcoves. Let's go.'' Vàli led the way down the dimly lit corridoor. it had reverted to emergency lighting, but this didn't stop Vàli. In fact, he saw better. His augmentations adjusted his eyes, casting everything in a red version of nightvision. He checked his killcount.

**Current kills: 27**
**Top score: 626**
Ah, the memories...

 

[lonewolf]

Phantom let out a sigh. he put his twin blasters away and drew his twin vibroblades."hey captain do you think there will be room for me to let out a small jet of flames on intrest i havent been able to use that in so long." He hope for a yes but if no he could still slice and dice.

 

[Will]

Vàli smiled. ''Perhaps Phoenix. If you get there first. Otherwise, you may set us alight. Which would not be good.'' Vàli continued moving down the hall.

Suddenly, from around the bend at least 30 guardsmen came rushing in, guns up high, ready to shoot.

''CHARGE!!!!!!'' Vàli yelled at the other three. He ran straight for the group, shrugging off the sustained fire.

 

[lonewolf]

Phantom raised hiss right arm. "darn it...captain would get hit" He then put his arm back down and start slicing of heads. After the third head fell off he got bored with it and stabbed 2 of them.

 

[Will]

Vàli closed his eyes. His bloodlust was taking over... ''Screw it'' He gave in.

The guards kept blasting at the red terror, finally driving him behind an alcove.
''Your power is impressive...But a pack of hounds can't beat me. That which defeats a monster... is always a MAN!'' Vàli leapt out of the alcove, clamping his jaws around trhe neck of someone. Friend or foe? he had no idea. He was in the bloodlust. He tossed the guard away, like a ragdoll, still in his jaws, and ripped open another guard with his hands, an visible energy field around them. Blood dripped from Vàli's hands. He was laughing. not a normal laugh, but the laugh of a dark god.

 

[Incubi Priest]

Rejik had been hacking the terminal, well, thats what he was supposed to be doing. One thing Rejik had always been proud of was his extensive intelligence. The terminal had been hacked sooner than anyone could've expected, and now the crime lord had joined the bloodbath.

Pulling his twin daggers from their sheaths, the Corellian was soon slaughtering guards by the masses. Organs flew everywhere due to his jagged blades. Kidneys, hearts, livers: all being ripped from the living bodies. No one would stand in his way. No one.

 

[Will]

Someone walked around the corner as Vàli was ripping the lungs out of an unfortunate guardsman, and drinking the blood spraying everywhere. He dropped the dying guardsman, who emitted a whimper. He faced this newcomer. A man worthy of his attention.
''I am Sith knight Tubalhain Alhambra. And i shall kill you.'' He ignited his red lightsabre.
''Alhambra. Come, Lets have a song and dance. You'll Squeal like a pig''

He launched himself at Alhambra. The red blade swished down, an arc of light. It Met Vàli's palm, where it stopped. ''Not a man then.'' Vàli replied, looking at the startled face of the sith. Oh, the foolishness of these people. Who could stop him?

The blade came left, then right, an unstoppable wave of red light. Vàli felt it cut his leg. A stinging sensation, so only light. Vàli slapped him across the face, knocking him into the wall. the power of his gloves was still on. Lightning sprung from Alhambra's fingers, spreading around Vàli, wrapping him in it's deadly embrace. He stepped forwards. And again. Ae picked up pace, running at Alhambra. He grabbed his outstretched arm, pulling it towards him, whilst kicking his leg at the kneecap. It bent the wrong way, the bone splittign out of the skin. Alhambra fell. Vàli leaned close, smoking from the lightning. ''Now sqeal like a pig''
Alhambra screamed as his leg was ripped off, and his throat was ripped out, reducing him to a gurgle, blood spilling onto the ground around him. he turned to see how the others were doing...
