Channel 13- Intergalactic Phalanix News Feed
"Hello and welcome to PNN's evening broadcast," the achorman said with a smile as he shuffled his papers quickly, "Today's top story is the finding of a new solar system. Only hours after the discovery the Military Council has decided in a 5 to 1 vote to 'liberate' these people that live there. As we speak the new flagship of the PSN a Hell Storm battleship is traveling with five other hell class super cruisers to this new system to bring them into our ranks with open arms and to show them that our way is the right way."
The anchorman stoped for a moment to take a drink form the glass of water in front of him before continuing, "Once the battle group 'Hero' drops out of there fold we will be switching over to the Hell Storm's bridge camera to watch the action from our new ship."

Unnamed Solar system- 50 light years from Epsilon Eridani
Taskforce Hero as the people preferred to call it exited there space fold only 3000km from the outer planet of the system. Quickly the ships began to launch fighters and the C class hell cruiser began to prep it's ODET unit for a combat drop. While the B class began to prep it's missile tubes. Slowly the Hell Storm began to pull into orbit of the first planet and began to broadcast a message.

This is the PSN Hell Storm of the Shadow Realm of Phalanix.
Under orders form the military council all of the population is here by
ordered to surrender or face the punishment.
You have one hour to surender and welcome our troops.
Slowly the hell B class super cruiser began to enter orbit her weapons locking onto targets ready to fire on a moments notice.

It would be like this for all the six planets of the system where the crusiers would launch dropships and dispatch ODPs to take controll of anything that stood in there way. Scans had shown that there was no threat in the system but they had the chance of being flawed.

Only after a short hour the first of hundreds of ODETs began to ride there ODPs to the surface fo the first planet. There were lifesigns on the planet but they were trying to broker a peace statement with the battlegroup when the first pod hit the ground and the elite trooper began to step out and colect her equipment. Since each pod was armed with a XR-34 multi-rifle and a single D6 HE 13mm pistol as well as seven mags for each weapon and seven grenades. Though only one pod was more well equiped. It carried a built in type B AI in it's memory core and a comand beacon for each of the pods to atempt to land near. As the troops began to organize themselves they met little resistance. The odd "redneck" armed with primitive weapons tried to shoot them only to suffer a far worse fate than most people would. It was assumed to be only a human world untill they encountered there first ailen dwelling. As afew troops entered it they discovered an alien much like the ones they had to fight to claim Reach. It seemed that this was going to be a eventful campaign.

OCC: Ok jsut to say there are about 300 ODP's landing while the rest of the troops arive in dropships. Also the alien they found is an elite from Halo. And one more thing feel free to comment or have a ship in the area.

Already ahead of the pack the Hell Storm was only a quarter of the way to the 6th planet when it came under rather pathetic missile fire. "Sir primitive missiles are being launched at us from orbital stations. Shall we return fire?"
"Yes. But first waste there moon. Show them that they are dealing with a far more advanced military force."
Slowly the Hell Storm turned to face the decent sized moon orbiting the 6th planet. Slowly the Hell's Fury cannon on the belly of the ship began to whine and hum. Only a minute later a massive plasma blast burst forth form the barrel towards the moon. As it imapcted the surface began to melt untill it his the core of the moon and exploded scatering fragments across the expanse of space.

From behind the massive Hell-Class Super Ship, a small bleap would appear on their sensors. Exiting Sub-Space, a newly finished Heavy Cruiser, the ACH Republic, had been on its way to assist its sister ships of the Independence and Freedom. However, a Drive malfunction somehow led them to this doomed part of space.

As the Commanding Officer on-board the Republic gained back all his senses from the exit, he looked around quickly. Colonel Santig Kanto wasn't one to like any mishaps whatsoever in any operation, even if it was space. He had heard his Engineering Officers warning on the drive, and just hoped they were by their Comrades in Sol.

"Location," Kanto asked his Command Crew, specifically wanting every bit of information about it.

"Microwave Pulses show us........near something MASSIVE!"

"What? I thought-" he looked to the side of the bridge, and saw a dark object in space....it sure as hell wasn't a planet. "Damn," he said aloud, "where the hell are we?!"

As the Hell's Fury fired it's massive burst jsut as the ACH Republic exited slip-space. "Sir unknown ship just exited a slipspace condiut off our aft section!" the ops offcier exclimed jsut before the massive flash of light and the destruction of the 6th planet's moon had begun.
"Hell with them brace for fragments impact! After the shockwaze we can deal with them."
As the fragments flew by it the Hell Storm shifted postion to allow it to maximize the firing rang of atleast 4000 of it's 50m turrets. As it the massive shadow shifted giving the ACH Republic a view of what it had jsut ended up sitting by.
Jsut as the shock of such a monster would have been setting in 4356 50mm turrets began opening fire on the fragments littteraly shredding them into nothing.

OOC: if this is closed RP, just tell me.

IC:
Of course, any action of that size would bring in a nearby Gharm Colony ship, it's sensors checking every ship while its communications broadcast its home origin from earth.
A lone voice signals from the ship..
"What the hell is going on here!?"

Santig, eyes wide, watched the entire scene. Each one of the Bridge Officers watched each piece of what seemed to be a planetoid be shred to pieces, and each one couldn't help but ignore the warning screens. Even when the AI had turned on the Shields, the Command Bridge was still silent. Not even his hardened Second-In-Command, Major Granate, could have imagined such a sight.

After a few moments, Colonel Kanto felt the arm of the command console come against him, and he looked at the flat moniter. The AI had figured it would be a good time for communications, and intern Santig pressed the screen where it said clearly "start".

This is Colonel Santgi Kanto of the Anagonian Heavy Cruiser Republic. We seem to have had a malfunction on our drives, and if you give us some time we will be out of your way shortly...

As response to the situation, the colony ship's captain, Narm Kostavei, activates the ship's weaponry systems to blast away the small debris, which it does adequetly, but the guns were made for debris, not large ships or creatures.
His voice booms over the comm channels again..
"This is from the Gharm ship "Dynasty" , I repeat, WHAT IS GOING ON!?"

TAG (busy, will get involved later)

The Hell Storm's capitain hadn't expected any "guests." As the ship began to pivot to face the planet the main ship AI began to respond to the hails in the ship's order of aperance.
To the ACH Republic:
This is the PSN Hell Storm of the Shadow Realm of Phalanix. We sujest you move back to the 7th planet for your safety. There you can seek aid if needed from one of the orbiting ships.

To the Dynasty:
This is a private operation of the Phalanix space navy. We are currently removing any risks to our ship from this planet. What you have detected was a top secret weapon and you are requested that you delete or hand over any little bit of the data that you collected on it.

During the time the AI was responding the ship was moving forewards through the minute fragments that jsut pinged off the hull. Slowly it reached orbit and the ODET's on the Hell Storm were preparing to drop when the same message was broadcast to the population of the planet


This is the PSN Hell Storm of the Shadow Realm of Phalanix.
Under orders form the military council all of the population is here by
ordered to surrender or face the punishment.
You have one hour to surender and welcome our troops.


OCC:Nope this isn't a closed RP. Anyone that is FT can join in or anyone can play as the people on one of the 7 planets. Except planet 7.

Before long, the ACH Republic had charged its Sub-Space drives, and soon entered Sub-Space for Sol.

OOC: on Monday I'll be RPing natives on planet 2... :)

ooc: I'll take planet 4 if its open


IC:
Cadita's outer most colony reported desturbing news to the capital city. Several groups of ships had dropped out of hyperspace in the system and began threating the colony albeit indirectly. So, the high command had ordered a small fleet into the system. They had orders not to engage the fleets unless threatend. If they were, they had orders to engage with the full might of their ships.

The fleet contains:
1 Wrath-Class Command Ship
3 Obelisk-Class Destroyers
4 Hellhound-Class Cruisers

OCC: Ok cool. Planets 1 and 3 are open to be used if anyone likes.
IC:
The Hell Storm was a fitting name for the massive ship. It almost seemed as if the warth of hell was behind her as she sported the largest amount of weapons able to easily topple any ship in the Phalanix fleet and posibly many others. Within the battle group its self was the second most deadly ship in all of Phalanix. The Hell class super cruiser. As the lead hell class slowly drifted towards the 5th planet it began to launch fighters who were only begining to lay waste to the resistance suffering only minor losses. And of those losses non of the pilots were killed. As the Hell Storm waited for the rest of the ships to catch up it was already takng notice of the small group of ships nearing it. Hours before it had called in it's report of the situation and had let the command know to send in more ships to help secure the foothold on the worlds already captured. Slowly it turned it's bow to face the group of ships oncoming it's fighter bays ready to launch as many of the 7000 fighters it carried as needed.

IC:
Commander Cohag of the Wrath-Class Ship Hell's Fury looked at the sensor readouts. This was not looking good for the fleet or the colony they were charged with guarding. He hailed the colony below and advised them to start evacuating. Things could get very messy very fast in a situation like this. He turned to his bridge crew.

"Alert the high command that we may need more help. Tell them that the enemy fleet appears to be better armed then we thought and much larger. I aslo request that they release the third fleet (they are patrolling near by) to my command so that they may assist us if neccessary. The situation does not seem to be improving and the enemy fleet has taken what seems to be the precursers of an aggressive strike. And Lutenient Lei? Raise shields and order the fighters to launch. I want a protective screen just in case things go south."

OCC:Ok I understand. Well I'll try and make this be a good first space RP for you. Jsut one thing. Hope that the Hell's Fury cannon isn't finished cycling because you're comand ship would be the first to fall when it does.
IC:
"Sir they are launching fighters. Shall we counter with our own?"
"Yes launch a squadren of VBR-3's. And how long till the Fury is done cycling?"
"It needs atleast another 45 minutes before it can fire again."
"Alright. Prepare the Fallen Angel's. It looks like we'll see some real action today."
Outside the ship fighters began to stream out 50 at a time. At that same point three of the five Hydra corrvets in the other hanger on the massive ship began to pull out. Sicne the OPD's would have to wait there job was to land some Elites one the planet.

OOC: Alright, just gettin my self set up here... no war on Planet 2 until Monday because of my time constraints... this is only for future ref... Oh yes! And to make things interesting, the natives on Planet 2 are very primative... much like Earth was around 100 BC to 100 AD...

In a Shazazukian Village...
The sun was just going down, the sky painted a brilliant shade of reddish-orange on the western horizon. It was a little on the cool side with a bit of a breeze, but still comfortable to the Shazazukian people. The men in the small village were in the middle of a war dance around a blazing fire, chanting, Humaya ya, hom hom, booga kidda boo... dressed in very festive clothing rich in color.

The women were in the houses getting the young children to sleep while the older children were finishing up their choors. On this night, two older boys, both age 14, were being celebrated, as it was their night to become men.

Dressed in festive armor, covered with cloth and feathers of multiple colors, they were to fight and kill off a leapord-like creature. If they refused, they were to be sacrificed. If they did not succeed, they knew they would die trying.

Given a spear, the first boy, Shaiko, was thrust into the circle. A fire was lit around the circle, and the beast was unleashed. It charged at the boy, leaping...

At the same time, on the other side of the globe...
In a Romao city...
The sun was just rising over the glorious cities walls, the streets already busy with people getting ready to go to work. The slave market, which had people from across the known work, had just opened, and its first customer entered.

"Well, good morning to you. Looks like you get the best pick... we just got a shipment in last evening. Some of the finest young men ready to all your hard work, and some very... Hmm, should we way, prime young ladies who are ready for any and all orders you give them." exclaimed the slave seller in his foreign tounge.

Just down the block, street venders were putting up their freshly cooked food, the aroma slowly slithering through the streets. Most of these people were poor, and rather dirty. None the less, thousands of people through the day would eat their warm food.

Above a drunk bum, a shutter blew open, and a rather dirty and smelly bucket of water was dumped down onto the street and onto the bum, who jumped up, but before he could speak a word, toppled over and passed out.

Ahh yes, another warm day within the rotten Roman-like city walls...

OOC: This is a continuation of my last post and just a big ol’ bump all in one…
IC:
In a Shazazukian Village...
The boy stood there, just starring at this giant beast as it charged at him. Why him? Why now? Couldn’t he be a boy for a little longer? He was scared, and you could see it in his face, in his eyes. Fear was in every expression on his face. I’m gonna die.. thought to him self, This is it… I’m done for…

But, his body seemed to want to defend its self. At the creature leapt into the air, he thrust his spear in front of him, pointing into the air at this monster.

As the beast came down, the spear went into it, cutting right through its body and into the heart of the creature. Its face went blank as it crashed down upon the boy. After a moment, the boy made his way out from under the creature. He had survived, the beast didn’t. He stumbled backwards, starring in horror at the creature. In his mind, it was still after him, even though it was dead.

He turned around to see the fire around the ring being doused, and the people cheering and celebrating. His mother ran forward, hugging and kissing the boy.

He was no longer a boy, but rather a man. The other fourteen year old was next.

At the same time, on the other side of the globe...
In a Romao city...
The man who had just entered the slave market was a rather short man, and on the heavy side. His skin was sagging. But he didn’t care, he has all the money and power he could ask for.

He walked around, looking at various slaves, his four guards following him, each glaring in at the slaves with cold, murderous eyes. The slaves, though, were use to this. Those who has been around the slave markets before, that is.

He approached a cage where a young girl sat, chained up. She had just been captured in the past month, and was one of the new arrivals. They expected to make a large amount of money because of her being obedient, having a very good body, and being flat out beautiful.

”Ahh, what an excellent eye you have, sir. Her name is Asci. She is fresh, just brought in last night. She’s a Chakaso. She’s very tan, and the men have her trained. She probably will need some more training, but she is as good as you get for a sixteen year old.” the slave trader remarked, looking for a sell.

A seventeen year old from her town was in the cage next to her. He looked up. He, too, had been captured in the same raid. He was become very fond of her over the past few weeks. He wasn’t about to let some old fat guy use her for his pleasure.

He got up, but he couldn’t walk far, being chained up. He looked at the guy and then at Asci. The slave trader knew this boy would make commotion. He walked over to the boys cage, and showed him his whip. The boy knew that was a threat, but he could care less. He still stared at them.

The man walked over to the boys care. ”He looks like he could do some heavy work. What’s he trained for?” asked the man, slightly interested in buying both teenagers.

”Ahh, well, he’s fit for any hard work, as he’s well built, and very well toned. He can also be a crowd pleaser for any ladies that attend a party of yours.” The teen was very well built, with good muscle tone. He was very tan due to working outside a lot, thus being ready for outside work. “I would suggest being very strict on this one, though. He can cause some trouble. I’ll give you a whip for free if you buy him.” the slave trader said, excited to make two sells. He was looking to make a large amount of money. ”Ya know, when you buy these teens, they sometimes need to be taught a lesson, but you know they’re good for a long time. That’s the beauty of these teens.” he said.

The man looked at the sixteen year old girl and seventeen year old boy, ”And how much would these two cost? he asked the slave trader.

A big grin came across his face, ”Seventeen thousand pags. If you bought then separately, it would cost you twenty thousand.” he said.

At that, they haggled about the price. Finally they settled on fifteen thousand total. With that, the man walked out, and the slave trader and some men took the two to get cleaned up, fed, and ready for their new master.

OOC: lemme know when the people on planet 2 will notice somethin in the sky on Mon or Tue...

*tag, I might join...

Planet 2
Only 500 miles from the second planet a single carrier defolded. Unlike normal fighter carriers this was a ODP carrier. It began to broadcast the same message the other ships were broadcasting before it began to move into orbit near Romao. The fact the ship was using a cloaking feild helped keep it hidden with the exception of the OPD's slidding out of the feild and looking like they were burning up in the atmosphere. As they began to impact on the ground in a farmers feild the troops began to step out stripping the pods of there equipment. In comand of the troops was Joshua Maxwell one of the few loyal AE left in the fleet. As he grabbed his rifle he fixed the cloak he wore on his armor to help keep it hidden. He then removed his helmet and placed it in a snatchle along with his folded up rifle. "Ok men and women listen up. Secure an LZ here and fortify it. I'll be checking out the city over the ridge so if you hear gun fire you'll know that I might not come back," He siad as he placed his pistol at his side and began to walk towards the city. He checked his energy swords along the way ensuring that they wern't damaged in the landing.

Over planet #6
The corrvets were begining there landing run in the mountains. Inside there holds the troops were getting excited. It had been along time in the "freezer" and they wanted some action more than ever now.

In the Romao city...
It was getting rather warm as the sun rose higher and higher into the sky. The city was becoming busier and busier, people entering and exiting the city, more and more merchants filling the market, more people filling the streets.

The smell of fresh-baked bred, and freshly cooked foods filled the city with a delightful scent, covering up the terrible stench of human waste in the slums and other various not-so-pleasant smells of the city.

As the guards above the gate talked to eachother, played some games, and looked around the city once in a while, one of them happen to see a rather odd-looking man in the stream of people outside, making his way towards the city. "Well, look at him..." remarks a guard, pointing down to the Phalanixian, he tells his friend. "Those are some strange -- and ugly -- looking clothes he's wearing." His friend looked down at the guy, "Ya, no kidding. Maybe we should follow him... give him a nice 'welcome'..." he suggested with a smug look on face.

The two quickly ran down the stairs, and through the guarded wooden door. They stood there for a moment, scanning the people, then "Ahh ha! There he is! Let's go..." said the first guard, pointing to the man as he entered the city on the other side of the crowd.

They quickly rushed through the crowd to get behind him. The crowd, knowing not to get in the way of any military or guards who are part of the Romao Cross, which is the same thing as their army.

Joshua slowly wandered into the city. He assumed he would attract far more attention than normal people would but he could handel it. Worst comes to worst he gets to use his XR-34 like he was trained to. Even if this was a recon mission to collect information on the oppostion that the ODET would face here. "Hmm seems primitive. Roman if I'm not mistaken," he muttered to himself as he began to walk towards the slave market unknowingly.

Other side of the planet
Overhead a single troop carrier defolded. It was an older model so it lacked the cloaking feild but it made up for that with far mroe troops than the newer model carriers could tranasport. Slowly the ODPs clamps began to let go and they slid out of the launch tubes and began to hit the atmosphere looking like they'd burn up. The pods com system was loaded with chatter as the troops began to plan the forifications they would set up and who owuld be pulling recon. Closely fallowing the ODPs were weapons pods. Though far smaller than the normal ODPs they were even more resistant allowing the ODET to recive far better weapons suited for there mission than having to risk a dropship to send down more equipment.

With Comander Cohag's orders the 576 fighters and bombers held in the fleets bays launched. Most had orders to guard the fleet, but two squadrons(24 fighters total) were ordered to probe the enemy fleet for any and all weaknesses. Cohag wanted to make sure he knew what he was up against before his risked his fleet in combat. His sensors had detected some anomales in the inner system, so he wanted to get out of the system if he could. Every force who chooses a battle ground, chooses one because it offers advatages. That was the axism that Cohag lived by.

Slowly behind the Hell Storm a 9.5km long Hell class pulled up figters swarming around it like insects. About 2000 of the fighters were still busy at the 7th planet leaving only 1500 left onboard.
The capitain of the Hell Storm watched the operations screen as the 2 corvettes began to enter the 6th planet's atmosphere escorted by already pre-launched fighters. "Launch the Shadow Strikers and have them run escort for the ships we have here currently."
Outside the ship 50 fighters shot out of the launch bay. All of them were VBR-3 Shadow Strikers the best in all of Phalanix. Quickly yhey activated there ECM feilds and faded from radar and other sensors.

OCC:Ok the VBR-3 is painted pure black so it's extremly hard to see.

In the Romao city...
The two guards continued to follow him curiously. They stayed far enough behind him so that he likely wouldn't notice them in the large crowd of people. The were waiting for a chance to get to meet this guy, and even rough him up a little if possible.

At the same time, on the other side of the globe...
In the Shazazukian Village...
After about fifteen minutes, the circle has been cleaned up and the crowd calmed down a bit. They were excited to see if the next boy could win.

He was extremely scared, and you could see this in his eyes. He was frightened of the beast he would have to face, and he had been told of horror stories of those would didn't kill the beast quickly.

As he stood in the crowd, dazed about what was about to happen, one of the elders shock him, and told him it was time. He looked up, but did not speak in words. His face, his eyes, told his story. They pleaded with the elder not to make him do this. He was fearful of what could happen.

But the elder had seen many a face like that, and many of those went on to become great men and great warriors. He pushed the boy into the circle, and then gave him a strong shove. The boy stumbled forward, and fell down. Before he could get up and turn around to get out, the fire was lit around him, and the creature freed. As the boy got up on his knees to stand up, he heard the creature, and turned around, only to see it coming straight for him with hungry eyes.

He screamed as he jumped up, his spear in his hands in a death grip. He quickly backed up. He pointed it right at the animal, who stopped just before running into it. It growled, and starred at the boy. The boy starred back. He didn’t know what to do. The animal slowly moved forward, but circled the boy. The boy backed up, and before he knew it, he was right up to the fire.

He slowly moved around, the beast seeing and sensing the fear of the boy. As it stopped following him, the boy turned to run, but tripped, and the creature pounced on him. He screamed for help, but no one would intervene. It was a test to see if you could become a man and a warrior. Without this victory, you were better dead in their view.

The villagers began disbanding, going back to their normal chores like nothing was happening, as the 14 year old was being eaten alive.

As they walked away, their attention turned from the boy to something in the sky. What was it? They did not know. Some kind of massive flying beast maybe? No, it was the Phalanixian ships.

They began making their way towards the ship, as it let out the pods. They were determined to see what it was.

Joshua stopped and looked around. "Great," he muttered. He hated slavers with a dark passion. He was tempted right there and then to pull out his rifle and shoot everyone of the disgusting slavers giving them the end they deserve at his hands. The hands of freedom. At the same time he felt the feeling of being fallowed. He had learned to trust those feelings for they always were right.
The other side of the planet
The pods 'cutes opened slowing there fall. The cutes only were there for a few seconds before they fell away tearing or being blown off. As the pods impacted troops began to exit them weapons raised ready to shoot anything that moved. Of the 200 launched only 50 landed near the village. The rest landed in a mountain area. Unlike normal pods some of them were equiped with mining equipment.

Far off in the distance, away from all the action, space was still and quiet. Then a bolt of almost black lightning struck across the void, then another, then another, until a full blown electrical storm had been made. Finally, the massive electrical storm morphed into a massive vortex, rivaling the size of a small moon. Out from the black vortex came three ships, one large, the other two alittle smaller in comparison. On thier prows stood two long barrels, for an unknown use yet.

They exited the warp, and the vortec behind them snapped shut. The ships waited there. The lead ship sent out a signal, to let the others know they that were indeed there.

"What is your purpose in this system?"

In the Romao city...
The two young slaves were being taken to their new masters palace. They were chained up so that they could not escape, and escorted by four heavily armed guards. Once they arrived, the master and two of his own guards took the two slaves into a back room.

They were greeted, and given the ground rules. They were told of their place, and told of some of the punishments they might receive if they disobeyed any orders.

Within an hour, they were taken to their housing - they would sleep and eat outside, under a wooden roof, with the other slaves of the estate. They were given their clothing, which they were told to get dressed in, and were to be ready in fifteen minutes to help get ready for the family dinner.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first couple of days went on rather uneventful. No problems arose, no trouble made. They did was they were told, and were always on time, if not slightly early. However, that all changed on the third full day of work.

The 17 year old had just finished a construction job in the back of the estate, and came into the housing. He heard what he thought was Asci begging. He crept closer to the room it was coming from and looked around the corner.

What he was enraged him. The master was raping Asci, as she was trying to get away, but couldn’t. He was not going to allow that. He charged into the room, jumping him, knocking the master to the floor. He then proceeded to beat the master as Asci ran out of the room and the guards rushed in to tackle the slave.

After tackling him and beating the, they took him outside to the punishment area, where slaves were punished in front of all the others to see. For thirty minutes, they waited as the master freshened up. Finally, he walked out to where the 17 year old was chained to a poll, and encircled by the household slaves and members of the household. “You disgust me!” he yelled into the teens face. ”Look what you did to me to little BASTARD!” he screamed, showing the bruises and scratches on his face and arms. ”And now you will be punished for this.” he said, coldly. As he said that, he grabbed a glove covered with 1.5” long spikes, and slapped him with that. Then, he turned and walked to his chair, where he could watch the rest of the punishment.

Three guards untied him, shoving him onto the ground and began to beat him. After three minutes, they chained him back up, and whipped him, forty-five lashes in all. The whole ordeal took over ten minutes. They would have done more if he has been in the house hold longer, but the master requested that be all in hopes that he would learn his place. The next time, there would be no mercy – he would be tortured to death in the same manor that others before him had been.

He also made sure Asci knew that if she resisted, or if he helped her again in any such way like that, he, too, would be punished. However, he did not what her to go through this unless she would be of no further “use” to him.

Joshua stopped and looked around. "Great," he muttered. He hated slavers with a dark passion. He was tempted right there and then to pull out his rifle and shoot everyone of the disgusting slavers giving them the end they deserve at his hands. The hands of freedom. At the same time he felt the feeling of being fallowed. He had learned to trust those feelings for they always were right.
The other side of the planet
The pods 'cutes opened slowing there fall. The cutes only were there for a few seconds before they fell away tearing or being blown off. As the pods impacted troops began to exit them weapons raised ready to shoot anything that moved. Of the 200 launched only 50 landed near the village. The rest landed in a mountain area. Unlike normal pods some of them were equiped with mining equipment.
In the Romao city...
They stopped, seeing that he, too, had stopped, and was looking around. "What did he say? 'Great'? What the hell does that mean?" the second guard asked (OOC: They speak different langauges I assume). "I donno... but I think we should rough him up a bit now..." he responded. "Let's do it." With that, they walked up to him. "Well, well, well... look at you. And where might you be from?" they asked. Then, before he could answer, they both jumped upon him and began to punch him.
At the same time, on the other side of the globe...
Outside the Shazazukian Village...
"Look! They're falling... like leafs. But what are they?" said one of the men in the group. The 14 year old who had just half an hour ago become a man was with them. He was up towards the front, and trying to push his way through to see what is was.

"What the hell?" said one of them, as they saw alien men pour out of these pods. "What's going on? Has The One sent down messangers to save us, or take a sacrafice? Maybe he wasn't happy with getting the one 14 year old!" shouted one of these men.

The 14 year old looked at him, then the other men, uneasily with that remark. They all began to eye him. No... he though, They wouldn't... would they?

Suddenly, one of the men grabbed him from behind and pulled him to the from. "If he was not satified with one, here is the second sacrafice!" The men cheered, and walked forward, the 14 year old trying to get out of the mans grip.

As they approached the 'alien' people, they all kneeled. The 14 year old didn't, and was forced to by two of the villagers.

They then began to pray aloud to these 'messangers' from The One.

Joshua's armor took the punches like nothing. The guards would have felt like they punched a stone wall. Joshua began to punch one of the gaurds his armor enhancing the blow shattering the bones in one of the guards ribs. "Don't you ever. Ever try that again," he said as he pulled his energy sword ignighting it with a satisfy electric hum. He knew this would attract attention but it would be far more quiet than using his rifle. As the people looked at him in awe and fear he reached into his snatchle and pulled out his helmet securing it to the armor's neck base. He then tossed his cape aside and looked almost like a war god sent to punish the people.

Other side of the planet
The troops looked at the men bowing at them and one of the muttered over the com, "Well shit. Looks like we get to babysit them." "Just ignore them and set up an LZ. If they try to attack. Kill them," the detachment's leader said over the com in respons. The group began to pull the larger assault weapons form there pods and started to dig in while others began to clear an LZ for a Pelican or and Eagle dropship to land in.

Respons to the message
"This is the 'Hero' battlegroup here to 'liberate' these people. Now state your purpose in this system."

"This is the HES Unity We came in responce to Ark-sect operatives saying this planet was under attack. We have come to retreive these agents, peacefully if possible. May we ask why you forcfulyl liberate these peoples?"

Respons to the Azaha message
"Alright then. But if you even power your weapons you will be destroyed. Also let those operatives know to meet one of the troop divsions so they may be escorted to a orbital transport. That is all. And that is confidental."

The three massive ships powered thier engines up and thrusted towards the planet, weapons powered down.

"We, would like to retreive the agents ourselves, you must understand why, they are very important to us."

In the Romao city...
A little boy walking with him mom started pulling on her dress, "Mommy, mommy! Look, look!" pointing at the foreigner. "He just killed a guard!" the mother shrieked, grabbing her son, and running off.

Some of the religious people thought it he may be one of their war gods, and began to walk up, touching his armor, and mumbling prayers to him in which he could not understand. Others stood there, some in shock, some in horror, some in amazement. Others ran off.

The guards were notified, and immediately closed all gates, and began to surround the area, forcing the people out of the area.

At the same time, on the other side of the globe...
Outside the Shazazukian Village...
They stayed on their knees, keeping their heads down, a low drone of prayers being said.

When the people hear the 'aliens' speak, some looked up, a blank and somewhat confused look on their face. They began to speak among them selves, not sure of what these strange people said, and spoke, "Abuya buya antayok! Akooma talami!"

They then kneeled again and continued to pray. The 14 year look glanced up, and seeing that one of these people were looking at him, quickly bowed him head again, hoping they did not see him look at them.

In Romao city
Joshua looked around and muttered. He had been treated like a hero but this was pathetic. He began to push past the people trying to find a palce to escape them. As he walked he dragged his blade along the slave cages slicing the locks off. he finaly deactivated his blade and began to try to make his way to the sector of the city that the rich lived in.
Other side of the planet
One troop was stuck watching the "savages" as they were refered to as. "Well this is just great," the troop muttered as he began to look over his rifle again for the 7th time in a row. He loaded a flare into the grenade launcher tube and sat at the ready to use it.
At the Hell's Fury
"Copy that. We need to know waht planet they are on and also you will be directly watched and tracted. If you leave anything your lives will be forfit."

"They are on the planet you are currently mobilizing troops on, we will set a course to the planet now, ETA, four minutes. I will contact the various agents to converge at specific points on the planet, there are three points, sending you the coordinates now, as to not suprise you, we will send one drop ship."

As the slave trader say him cutting open the slave cages, he ran up to the guy, "Hey to ****ing **** face! Get away! You lock them back up!" he yelled into the mans ear. The guards stood their, following him, keeping him surrounded. They hated the slave trader, but if he attacked anyone aside from that slave trader, they would fight him.

Back at the estate, word has just reached them of a "godlike" warrior who has just killed a city guard. They hadn't heard about the slaves being freed yet.

The master ordered the estate be locked down, and that all the slaves were to be forced to attack this 'thing' if it came to their property.

At the same time, on the other side of the globe...
Outside the Shazazukian Village...
One of the villagers got up and walked over to the lone guard, "Whacha woo how, ya ya?" he asked the guard, with a somewhat nervous, but very curious look on his face, and stood there waiting for a reply.

The 14 year old started to get up, but one of the villagers grabbed him and pulled him to the ground. "You do not disrespect The One's people. The next time to try to leave or disrespect them in any way, I will sacrafice you." he said in a stern whisper, still having his head bowed.

The 14 year old looked at him, then at the guard, and looked at the surrounding group of people. The man behind him then said, "I'll take him back to the village, and let everyone know that The One's people are here. We'll be back then." he said, as he grabbed the teen's arm, and pulled him up. They headed back to the village.

Romao city
Joshua stopped for a moment then pulled his snatchle to his front once more pulling out his rifle. Though it looked folded up he assembled it in under a minute and shot the slaver in the chest once and continued on his way. He smirked as the 5mm PI round began to work it's wonders by making the slaver feel like his blood was onfire while slowly melting his organs and making his skin bubble and boil. Only 30 minutes later the slaver would be dead and his chest would have been melted away leting the fluid that was once his organs seep out.
Other side of the planet
"Sir they are on the move and one of these 'savages' is in my face," the guard said as he tried to gently push the man away. "Well fallow them jsut make sure you arn't seen." "Yes sir," he replied as he began to jog off faster than the man could keep up.

On the Hell Storm
"Alright. You'll have two hours on the surface. That is all."

From the relativly small looking dropship dropped down from within the massive ship. It quickly reached the atmosphere and decended to the first location. The dropship decended on the outskirts of a city in the southern hemisphere. Two men in plain clothing boarded the drop ship, and within minutes, it flew off again.

The second stop was in the northern hemisphere, in a forest outside a small fishing village, where one man stood, awaiting his transport. It swooped down into a clearing and the man got into the transport. Just as quickly it arrived,it left again.

The final stop, was a rather large city. This time, there was only one agent, for such a large city. As the agent got on, the dropship sent a low frequency radio signal. With a boost of its thrusters, the dropship took off again, for the mothership.

The guards stood there, watching the slave trader begin to go crazy, screaming that he was on fire. One of them walked up to him, pulled his sword out, and beheaded the man. The head fell to the ground, the body falling over, as blood and other liquids began to spill out. The guards continued to follow him.

At the same time, on the other side of the globe...
Outside the Shazazukian Village...
When the villager was being pushed back, he didn’t resist. They still thought that these people were sent by The One. Instead, he knelt down and kissed the feet of this man.

As the 14 year old and the other man entered the village, the people gathered around. The man told them that The One sent down his people and that they believe he is not happy with the one sacrifice. He told them that they will be sacrificing the 14 year old. Some of the people were assigned to watch all the children, as the rest of the village, along with this man and the 14 year old, made their way back to the landing site.

Two people held on to the 14 year old. They were going to sacrifice the young ‘man’ in front of ‘The Ones’ people.

As klaxons blared, a black furred form tossed within peral blankets; a pillow thrown at the bedside table, the empty ceramic glass there falling to the floor with a dull thump. The station's semi-sentient AI muted the alarm - satisfied that the Commander was awake.

"CommAction - Command. Report," the female voice muffled from sleep and cloth.

"Commander; sensors have been monitoring alien spacecraft engaged in imperalist actions against other worlds in this system. The Watch-Captain just took us to DefCon 2 when they started going after additional worlds in this system."

Joy, she thought, sheading covers; the busty vixen's naked form revealed in the dim light; "Any movement towards us?"

"Negative, ma'am; given their aparent pattern, however, the Watch-Captain feels such is imminent."

Natural night vision cyberneticly enhanced, darkness was no hinderence as she retrived her uniform, "Where is the good Watch-Captain, anyway?"

"Presently requistioning reinforcments, ma'am."

Typical, she tought, pulling on the dark grey open-fronted vest and near-black mini-skirt that composed her 'regulation' uniform - the most 'conservative' dress the Company allowed her - and her specificly - while on duty, Damn know-it-all's always trying to upstage his superriors; "I'll be up momentarily; meanwhile, deploy FTLi to three lightminutes and light the beacons - if they've half a clue who we are, they should leave us alone unless they're crazy or stupid."

--------------------------------------

Moments later, a bubble of faster-than-light inhibbitor feild apeared around the first world, stretching outward to a distance of three lightminutes(54 million kilometers), and creating a feild of effect through which anything hoping to reach the world at it's center would have to pass at sublight speeds - a through real-space.

Shortly afterwards, orbital beacons went active, identifying the world below as belonging to Uniphase Armouries Interversal - Kanuckistans largest military contractor - and being home to Zygote Beach Research Outpost.

The outpost itself would be easily located - a series of sprawling, seemingly unspectacular complexes located in a dozen or so locations, most far removed from native pre-industrial civilation - mostly early iron-age - they would almost be easily overlooked. If not for the powerful barrier sheilds that now domed each - their compliment of starcraft and planetary weaponry inactive and hidden; in and of themselves little threat to the invading fleet, revealing them now could only move them up the proverbial list, possibly befor reinforcments could arrive.

Joshua kept walking. He stoped at the first of the many gates and tried to push it open. It didn't budge so he pulled his sword once more and smashed his boot into the center where the two doors would meet easily shattering anything short of steel. As he began to enter he looked around letting his motion sensors pick up rnadom blips. The armed ones showed up as red while the unarmed ones showed up as yellow. He let his rifle hang over his shoulder on the strap and held the black rod tha twould contain his energy sword.

The troop fallowing the group set up a small sniper nest so tha the could watch the whole village while the one having his feet kissed drooped his head and smacked his hand against it. "Commander what should I do about this goddamn 'savage' kissing my feet...." Over the com bursts of laughter could be heard fallowed by the commanders harsh barks of orders. "Deal with him on your own he isn't a problem."

PSN Hell Storm
"Ma'am a VBR-3-S picked up a low level radio signal from the dropship that landed. It wants to know ether to question them or open fire. And also sensors detected a FTLi feild eminating form the first planet. We are going to have to take it out if we're to gain renforcements. Also the assault super cruisers on the way were only about one million killiometers out before the feild activated. They are going to take several days to reach us."
"God damnit," the first officer swore under her breath, "Order the VBR-3-S to use it's shock cannon on the lowest and safest energy setting to shoot the dropship once it reaches orbit. And We'll move on FTLi feild once the assault classes reach us. Also prep a Fallen Angel and lock on to the HES Unity and prepare to fire on my mark."

Outside closely fallowing the dropship was a VBR-3-S. The stealth model of the VBR-3. Even htough it lacked the telltale twin gun pods it still had the recently instated shock cannon. As the pilot preped it to be fired he turned he power setting down to a safe level as not to kill any of the occupants on the drop ship.

OCC2: The shock cannon is like EMP but if the power setting his high enough it can destroy most targets.

The pilot of the dropship, a tall slender man, suddenly jumped in his seat, as a target lock signal went off. "Unity! Unity! This is dropship DS/74, we have target lock on us, reque-" The message was cut off by the sudden shock of EMP particles that hit the dropship. DS/74 drifted quietly through space, no systems no longer operational.

"Sir!" shouted the com officer, "DS/74 sent a radio message, but it was abruptly cut off, my sensors say some EMP burst disabled it."

Captain Akaus sat in his captain's chair, not relising what was just said, before the tactical officer shouted aswell, "Sir, target locks from the cap ship, orders?"

The captain finally sprung to life, "Open a com to the Keis and Uhas" the com officer did so, "All ships, power up sheilds, power up pointdefence lasers, but do not power up your ion cannons. HES Uhas, move in and try to retreive DS/74, Keis, face the cap ship, look menacing, but dont open fire. Com, open a channel to the ship"

The com officer did so, and motioned for the captain to speak, "What is the meaning of this?!"

"We detected a low level radio signal and as a result we will hold the drop ship untill we have an explination and proof conferming it. No worrys the passengers will be treated respectfuly and fairly," the respons came as the massive Hell Storm slowly drifted over the dropship as the VBR-3-S transformed into a hybrid form and grabed the dropship and began halling it into the hanger where AE and Elites wated with there rifles to prevent any "problems."

In the Romao city...
The city guards, nearly fifty of them, ran up to the once-gated house and entered. The continued to run until they found the 'alien'. "Hey, you! Stop!" yelled one of the guards in their own tongue. They all rushed up to him and stopped. They had seen what he had done before, and they were hoping to avoid a fight.

They all pointed towards the gate, signaling they wanted him to leave.

At the same time, on the other side of the globe...
Outside the Shazazukian Village...
The villager continued to kiss the mans foot for another moment before bowed away and back into the crowd. Just has he got back on his knees to pray to these 'Gods', the rest of the villagers arrived, holding the 14 year old. Four of the men grabbed him, and brought him forward in front of the group of "Gods". They then tied him up so he could not escape, and began to prepare a sacrificial ceremony.

Commander Cohag was just starting to relax in his cabin when the news came in. The enemy fleet had started sending its forces to the other parts of the system. He knew it would only be a matter of time before they came after them. He ran to the bridge and assesed the situation.

"Order the fleet to form up on us and take OFP-1 (offensive fleet position 1). I want to take out these b******s before they get to do the same to us!"

Joshua looked at the guards and shugged. The place was jsut some sad excuse for a rich person's place. As he walked out of the gate he walked rihgt across the street and kicked in yet another gate. This time though the gate was far larger. As he did he smirked slightly knowing he would be pissing off the guards.

"Sir I think they are gona try and kill that kid," one troop said over the com.
"Ya sarge I think he is right. We sould do something," another troop said.
"No wait untill they have a knife or soemthing out. If they do we shoot the oen who does the killing."

On the Hell Storm
"Ma'am inbound enemy craft. We should use the hell classes Fallen angels with ours to deal with hte larger ships while the fighters and corvttes deal with the smaller ones."
"Yes do that. Charge the other three Fallen Angels and have them target the clsoest and largest enemy ships. Then also have Archer pods 1-100 target the smaller ships."
"Ma'am thats 1000 missiles. We'd slaughter them."
"Your point is. This ship has 30,000 missiles in total. I could have them all launched."

The guards followed him across the street, and watched as he broke into another estate. The guards looked at eachother nervously. "You! "No, YOU they argued over who should step in and stop him. Finally, they all looked at one of the rookies. "What?" he asked. They pushed him forward, making him knock into the 'alien'. "Umm.. hi" he said, intimidated, "Now, you look here, LEAVE US!" he said, shaking his fist, but then slowed down as the 'alien' to turned around to face him.

From inside the estate, the slave master looked out the window. "Tell the slaves if he steps foot on my estate, they must kill him." he ordered his guards.

At the same time, on the other side of the globe...
Outside the Shazazukian Village...
Finally, the four were done. They had brought forward their sacrificial 'machine', where the sacrificed would be tied down. A large pointed object above the chest, it would be thrust down into the persons chest, only after the special 'sacrificial drink' was drank (and often forced down the throat). It was home-made acid, which contained the blood of the previously sacrificed.

They untied the teen, holding on to him as he struggled to get away. He had never seen the sacrificies before - no child was allowed to - but he had heard of what happens.

Dispite all his fighting to try to get away, they forced him down onto the wooden table, and tied him down. It was about to begin.

The people began to pray again.

Joshua looked at the guard and turned him around and pushed him back into the guards. "Keep your own garbage," he said aloud as he turned and began to walk through the estate's courtyard looking aorund. Aready his motion tracker was picking targets all over the place.

The commander took aim with his rifle and riddled the sharp part of the killing thing with a hail of gun fire. The slugs tore through it like nothing easily scaring the hell out of the villagers.

They all looked at eachother with a what do we do now? look on their face. They stood there, watching. They weren't sure what to do next. For once, they were afraid. They began to dare eachother, until one of them, a large man who had to weigh over 300 pounds before all his armor finally accepted. "I'll bet ya 50 pags he'll loose to that thing..." one of them said. The betting was on.

The guard ran as fast as he could, and tried to leap into the air on top of the man, but landed about two feet short, and rolled around about two feet to his right before he could stop himself. He got up again and charged, this time not jumping.

At the same time, the guards on the estate were forcing the slaves outside, yelling and threatening the slaves, both the men and women. They knew if they disobeyed, they'd be killed, and if they obeyed, they'll also be killed. They looked back and forth at which death they should choose.

At the same time, on the other side of the globe...
Outside the Shazazukian Village...
The villages all jumped and screamed at the shot of the gun. "He shoots black lightning!" yelled one of the villagers. Two of the men quickly untied the 14 year old, holding him in front of them and forcing him towards them. They thought the 'Gods' wanted to kill him them selves!

The teen tried in vein to get loose, as he was sure he would get a horrible death. But, he couldn't break loose. I escape one death... now I'm gonna die an even worse death! he thought to him self.

Joshua ignighted his energy sword and sliced the large man clean in half. The side sof him didn't bleed due to the fact that the wounds had been cauterized by the pure heat of the blade. After that Joshua deactivated his blade and shouldered his rifle and began to take out the guards forcing the slaves out. His aim was only at there shoulder to ensure they suffered.

"Sarge I say we take him. 'Upgrade' him in the Hell Storm's med bay and see what we can find out."
"Ya I agree. That way he'd be useful to us and we'd keep him form a horible death."
"Fine take him."
"Yes sir," with that the lead troop walked up and grabbed the 14 year old dragging him back to the pods.

Commander Cohag stummbled into his command chair, as his watched in horror his fleets destruction.
"Whats going on?"

"We just took a missle barrage. It looks like we've lost two Hellhound and the CSS Death Harbinger is crippled. It looks like it was caught with its shields down sir."

"Well then order the remaining fleet to open fire! Order all Cadita ships in the area to report to this system. We're going to need all the help we can get."


Losses:
2 Hellhound-Class Cruisers
1 Obelisk-Class Destroyer
59 Fighters

"Tactical, charge ion cannons."

"yessir"

"Open a com to the enemy ship" "yessir"

"That was a signal tellins -us- that it was a mission complete and that they were returning home, no release the dropship or we will use our anti cap ship weapons on you, your first, and last warning, we want our men."

Message to Unity
"We have no proof of that. Untill we have conducted a proper investigation they will be held. There rights will be respected as will there ranks. If the investigation is inconclusive they will be released unharmed with a formal apology. If it was a weapon activation signal they will be aressted and face a military court."
Hell Storm's Battle Bridge
"Fire the Fallen Angels at the largest ship. I want it out of the f*cking picture. And I want it gone now!," the commander shouted as the weapons officer took aim at the largest Cadita ship and fired three of the four Fallen Angel cannons. During that time the fighters had taken the brunt of the weapons fire while the Hell Storm's sheilds held. The hell B class super cruiser though took a direct hit in her hanger wasting the sole transport in it and taking out it's launching abilitys.

The cruiser Eclipse reverted to realspace in this sector, and scanned around. Jedi Knight, aka Commander, Ewan Nesson stood aboard the bridge of this Jedi Cruiser, and watched a battle from afar, as well as slipping in to monitor things further.

OOC: Glorified monitoring. Oh, and Phalanx, need to talk to you on MSN, asap.

"Look at the frequency, it has no use, it is low frequency, communications, no other possible means. You have 1 hour to comply, before we open fire."

As the shots rang out, everyone, the slaves, estate guards, members of the estate, and city guards alike, began fleeing.

The slaves at first turned around, but the estate guards pushed them back as they them selves tried to escape the gunfire. In the end, two estate guards were able to get away, another two dieing on the ground, and the eight more dead. The ground was soaked with blood. In the chaos, one slave, an old man who was, within days, going to be killed due to his age, lay dieing on the ground. For him, his lifes suffering was nearly over. The other 36 slaves had escaped behind the building and into bushes. The members of the estate retreated to the rear of their house.

The city guards had fleed in horror and fear, and were nowhere to be seen. They likely wouldn't be back, either.

At the same time, on the other side of the globe...
Outside the Shazazukian Village...
The teen screamed as he was being dragged off. He thought his life was over, and he was sure it was going to be a painful death. His mother bowed down, trying to suppress her tears. He had just become a man, she thought, why? Why did this happen?

The entire village prayed, the whole area humming with a slow mumble of prayers.

Back in the village, the children, those who were under 14, were being watched over by five women who were selected to watch over them. Only the five women knew what was suppose to happen to the 14 year old. The children didn't.

Romao city
Joshua saw the old man and walked over to him. He knelt by his side and bowed his head honoring his passing on. He knelt there untill the man finaly died. He sighed quietly.
Other landing site
The troop dragging the boy stopped and let him go infront of the unit's medic. The medic knew what to do already. He pulled out a small injector and stuck it in the boy's arm. It was a sleeping solution to make the boy's transfer to one of the ships in orbit far more easy.

Message to the Unity
"Ether you let a investigation happen or they're saftey will not be our concern. Ether you recall your threat or face death. You have 30 minutes to comply."
"Engsin target there lead ship with a Fallen Angel and the other two ships with Archer pods 101-200 and target the lead ship if it isn't destroyed by the Fallen angel with pods 201-250."

The cruiser continued to move through space, seemingly undisturbed.

Commander Neeson looked over the consoles with his crew, as they decided on the best course of action they should do in this system.

In the Romao city...
One of the slaves finally peaked his head out of the bush enough to see where the 'alien' was. He saw the person kneeling down next to the old man, and quickly realized he was dead. He looked around, and saw across from him about forty feet or so that he would be behind a wall. He slowly made his way out of the bushes before going into a sprint.

Behind the house in a shed-like building Asci and the 17 year old, whose name is Tyno, hid. He whispered to her, "You need to stay here. Keep that blanket over you. If I don't come back in five... then stay here all night. He should be gone by then..."

He slowly, quietly, got up, and tip-toed to the slightly opened door. He opened it carefully so it would not squeak, and, after looking around and seeing no one, snuck out.

At the same time, on the other side of the globe...
Outside the Shazazukian Village...[/b]
The 14 year old didn't have a chance to say a word after being dropped before he saw something in their hands. [i]"AHHHHHHH!" he screamed in horror as he saw, and felt it, puncher his skin. It hurt, and stung. He began to cry, but within a moment he was asleep.

"So, my young apprentice, what do you see so far?" Master Neeson said.

"Let's see...there is a battle in the making near the second planet. We'll have to see what's up there. The first planet is currently occupied by Kanuckistan. Our best choice is the third planet." Padawan Liam McGregor said. "I suggest we take a look at what's there, Master."

"Very well. You will inform Knight Rika and Padawan Janson that they are to make way for the second planet to see what's there. You and I will orbit the third planet and go down to see what it is."

"Yes, Master." The 15-year-old apprentice went to inform one-of-many Jedi teams on board the ship of the mission and then the Master moved the Eclipse into orbit of the third planet.

---------

Down on the third planet, a war was raging in a world that could be taken out of any Arthurian or Tolkien legend. Arrows flitted into the air and fell like deadly missiles, skewering soldiers wherever they went, and the sounds of swords clanging filled the blood-soaked fields. In the air, numerous airship cannons boomed as they sought to destroy one another.

It was a battle like many others that plagued the Men and filled the Orcs with lust for battle. The two kingdoms had no love lost between them, and it would seem that the Orcs were winning against the Men, but the Men were more cunning, utilizing magics and tactics to defeat their foes. All in all, it was much of a stalemate, lasting for so long, that people have forgotten what transpired to bring about the war in the first place.

"We will not be so easily swayed. This can all be averted if you just hand over our agents, and we will be on our way. If not, then we will take them by force, and capture your ship"

Message to the the allied ships, "Flanking positions, charge your Ion cannons. all fire on the lead ship when I say."

OOC: Ion cannon, super anti-ship weapon. mainly ment to target sheilds and disable them, but if enough of them hit, will cause severe damage. Each ship has two.

Jedi Knight Rika Ronoka and her Padawan learner Mikhal Janson took on of the many shuttles aboard the Eclipse and flew out of the hangar bay towards the seemingly contested second planet, while the larger ship took orbit over the third one.

"Master, prelim scans show signs of warfare like that of medieval Earth, including what I could just feel as some sort of Force usage on a large scale."

"Hmm. Magical warfare." Master Neeson mused, while McGregor looked on in slight confusion. "Some manifestations of the Force is felt in the form of 'magic' and spellcasting. It would seem that this planet is not much different from any world you'd see in a fantasy novel or holoflick."

"Intruging, Master." McGregor said, eyes betraying curiosity and a desire for new knowledge.

"Yes it is, but we must be on our guard. No telling how the inhabitants may react upon our arrival." Master Neeson said.

"Right. Shall we?"

Of course. Knight Lloyd? You think you can handle being at the helm?" The Master asked a spunky young Jedi, who's as much a Tatooine native as the legendary Skywalkers were, with the blond hair and blue eyes to match.

"Sure." The boy said, and bowed. "Don't worry, I won't do anything without contacting you, Master."

"Of course." Still, young boys and helms really shouldn't mix in Ewan's opinion. The Master and apprentice headed to another shuttle, and departed for the planet, which has yet to be named...

------

Meanwhile, the recent battle has concluded with a victory in favor of the Humans, but with heavy losses. The surviving soldiers returned to base camps to recuperate. As it was night, they didn't really notice a shooting star heading towards the ground, uncannily heading towards the human kingdom of Valdosta.

Romao city
Joshua noticed a shadow move and raised his rifle. He fired a single normal round in front of the shadow knowing it would miss. He was going to scare the person so he could "talk" to him or her.

Other landing site
The medic nodded as the injector was empty and he turned on his com calling up to transport closest to them. "This is landing site 002 alpha requesting a transit. We have one of the population that we should 'enhance' to make this mission far more easy."
"Copy that. Dropship on it's way. ETA ten minutes."

Message to Unity
"You fail to understand the capabilitys of this ship. Ethere stand down or suffer our wrath."
"Engsin cancel the archer pods and arm the Hydra nukes. Aim 25 of them at the lead ship."
The engsin looked alittle shocked but nodded and began to program the nukes.

PSN Hell Fire
The only closest ship to the third planet detected a ship's energy signiture in orbit of it. Ofcourse at this range errors were possible. As it slowly drifted towards the planet the drop troops were getting ready for combat. Most were smirking. For once they would be dropping in with a true hero to them. Eric Lancer had been through almost 200 drops holding the record in the entire orbital drop corp.

OCC:The Fallen Angel cannon is a massive 600mm plasma cannon that can turn 30 square km of land into a massive glassed hole that can go 1 km deep. And the Hell Storm has 4 of these cannons. Also the Hell Storm has 400 nukes and 13,000 troops on board.

The Jedi landed in a clearing near a large city the size and look of 1600's London, but with a more feudal look to the people. The Jedi would blend well with their cloaks. They disembarked and camoflaged the ship to keep it from prying eyes by turning on the cloak with a *chirp* *chirp* sound. Master and apprentice would then walk around as a travelling father and son (which is true, from a certain point of view), just heading to the city to hawk some wares.

Master Neeson, being the more attuned of the two, can sense a lingering fear and apprehension from the people, as if there is war in the air. He could also feel the magic more strongly, as some people use it in everyday life. Yup, Jedi would blend in well. As they entered the city, they could catch glimpses of conversation about what's up so far.

Then, they decided to enter a pub.

-----

King Edward of Valdosta was tired of war. Two of his older sons have fallen already in combat against the Orcs, and the next boy in line was barely old enough to fight a bandit even with magic, much less beings as strong as Orcs. The 40-odd man wondered if the war against the Orcs would ever end, but then, it would take something a little more powerful than arrows, siege machines, or the occasional magic fireballs and lightning strikes. Something that would be straight out of myth and legend. He sighed, and shook his head. Not like that's ever going to happen. He would just have to carry on the fight as best he could and hope he doesn't fall to one of the damned beasts.

Then, he sensed a presence. Two of them, actually. They seem not of this world, but have a powerful magic to them all the same. How can this be? Legends have said that the Men of Valdosta were descended from the skies long ago, but the Orks have destroyed all traces of that memory, reducing whatever came before into relatively low technology, bolstered by magic.

Edward was intruged, and decided that he would like to meet these newcomers. If they truly have come from the sky, then they would have powerful weapons they could use to defeat the Orcs.

He summoned his son, Prince Brendan to speak of this.

"Brendan, I have sensed a few newcomers to our city. I would like for you to seek them out, and kindly bring them before me." Edward said.

"Newcomers, Father?" Brendan asked.

"Yes. Perhaps from a city like Newdon." Edward couldn't tell his son his true suspicions until they were sanctified.

Brendan was confused as to why his father would bother with newcomers, but he judged that he still has much to learn. He bowed, and left the room. Unlike other royalty in other lands, the Hanson Family eschew elaborate clothes except on special occasions, and the people rarely care about royalty among their ranks. The boy would not have trouble searching for the newcomers, and has a sword in case of trouble with bastards.

Orbit of the thrid planet
Slowly the Hell Fire entereed orbit around the thrid planet to the oposite side of the ships. Even though thye were on the dark side of it they didn't care. The single corvette in the ship's hanger would be able to launch the drop pods with out the existance of the Hell Fire being known. The hydra class corvette was often refered to as the oversized dropship of the Phalanix fleet. Though thtey were quiet litteraly oversized dropships. Often diffrent models were made so ships could just request the proper type and send it in. This model was a ODP launching point. As the drop troops were brought into the main hanger the hydra sat with it's drop bay open. Each of the troopers drop pods were labled and open and waiting. All except a slightly larger pod. Eric was known for his bulky armor that was offten refered to as mideval armor. But it was still a very powerful design.
As the troops were finaly loaded the corvette was launched out towards the planet. As it entered a area near one of the main citys 15 of the 30 pods were droped in a relitivly small area (.5 km.) The other pods were deposited in a mountain area. Of the first 15 that were dropped Eric's pod was already open and the commander was out scouting the area while the others were still checking there weapons.

"All ships... fire..."

All three ships, two Ion cannons each, began the firing sequence. The massive barrels started to glow, the tips becoming white hot with heat. Mini ion storms began to form at the gun tips, releasing energy bolts, some even hitting the creator ship. Lightning sparked from the base of the barrel to the tip, as if it were a lightning rod. Finally all six cannons shot as one, the massive ion beam, twice as thick as the barrels shot forth at the ships. Moving near speed of light, they sped to thier target... the lead ship.

Meanwhile, in a small hanger bay. 25 fighters emerged from the hold, along with two DSB(DropShip Bore) launched from the hanger bay, lagging alittle from the fighters, as they to sped towards thier intended targets.

The land of the Orcs. Desolate, with numerous deadly creatures and plants of darkness. Poison abounds in every bite, and trees actively search for victims to strangle and throttle with their long, snakelike branches. The animals are no different, from wolves to giant land octopi, to the Orcs themselves. Of the creatures, only the Orcs wield dark magics, but most are too stupid to use it and just use melee, siege and arrow weapons. Orc sorcerers, on the other hand, are cunning, deadly foes that have felled many a human sorcerer during the long wars. The Orcs are ruthless, and when they enter a village, few survive their burning, pillaging, and murderings. From the oldest to the youngest, they're either put to the sword, or eaten alive, depending on the hunger of the creatures. The Orcs enjoy the hunt, the battle, and the blood of their victims. Once they decide to kill, there's no stopping them, except to kill them in turn. That is the Ork, in all his petty evilness.

An Orc scout watches the strange machines land and men with powerful-looking weapons pull out. 'Must be de hoomins. Da bosses must learn of dem!'

The scout scurries away like a rat.

Combat with the Unity and other ships
The Fallen Angel's blast had already lanced out at the Unity. Closely fallowing was the 1000 missiles form the pods for the other two ships. And even more fallowing that was 25 nuclear missiles just for the Unity. The Hell Storm rocked as the ion blasts battered against it and the generators strained untill the back up ones were brought online to help enhance the sheilds further. But not before one of the genertors sparyed plasma over three crew men melting them.
Though the Hell Storm had only 3000 fighters out they were already opening up on the incoming ones. Afew of the VBR-3's used tactial nukes to strike at the two DBS. Inside the ship cryo-troops were being awoken rapidly and armed ready for boarders. Inside the hanger with the captured dropship A single VBR-2 in it's battloid form stood guard over the ship. They had confined the personel to it and had threatened them all if one tried to escape.
"Ma'am I sujest we divert another Fallen Angel to use against the attacking ships. That way we can waste them if they still are there."
"Do it! And prep 25 more Hydra nukes just incase. I want to make sure those bastards don't live through this."

3rd Planet
Eric looked around and began to make his way towards the city. The fact that most commanders wore cloaks to help hide there weapons was one of the few things helping him blend in slightly. At that same time the other 14 were setting up a small outpost to help land more troops.
The other 15 in the mountains began to place demo charges to flaten a area for a dropship to land more troops and posibly a few fighters.

The Unity buffeted as the lance shot tore through the sheilds and hit the right hanger pylon, completely obliterating the front half of it, destroying some 200 fitghters. The unity opened up with point defence lasers and projectile weapons, destroying all but two nuclear warheads. They hit with a grand force, nearly destroying the bridge, the other causing a massive whole on the front-left portion of the bow. The other two frigates meanwhile, took evasive manuevers, attempting to dodge the oncoming missles. One frigate only took ten or so hits, battering harmlessly at the sheilds, thanks to quick manuevering and point defence systems. The other ship was not so lucky. The ion cannon burst they let out disabled sheilds and some point defence systems. Half the crew was dead before they even knew what hit them. Severely damaged, engines at 25%, the started to run, second frigate right beind it covering its retreat.

"Charge Ion cannons!" belowed the captain, "Get the sheilds up! open up the gun batteries!" Just as he said that, three rapid fire particle cannons from the front of the ship opened up. sending two 2' diameter shells a second at the rival ship. "Call command! Tell them to send Reinforcements! Damage control! Seal the non-pressurized areas!" The damage reports continueally displaying new and disturbing info.

"Ion cannons charge at 50%! Sheilds are up at 84%!"

Meanwhile, the fighters weaved and dodged out of the incoming fire. Every fice seconds another fighter was lost. The two nuclear missles were disposed of by the remaining fighters. the DSBs headed towards thier target, trying to evade fire, but shots clipping the armor, and G-force stress from evading starting to rip them apart from the inside.

In the Romao city...
The slave who was sprinting tripped as he tried to stop in his tracks. He slowly turned his head and saw the 'alien' walking towards him.

The 17 year old, Tyno, also stopped and hit the ground. After a few seconds, he looked around, and slowly got up. He made his way to the house, going along the side of it. Upon reaching the corner, he peaked around to see a fellow slave on the ground, starring up in horror as the person walked up to him.

At the same time, on the other side of the globe...
Outside the Shazazukian Village...
*gets transported up and still asleep*

Space Battle
"Fire the second Fallen Angel! And let the Hell B know to fire it's plasma cannons and Fallen Angels on the Unity!" the first officer shouted over the explosion outside. Fighters were being shot down but most were focusing on the DSB. They began to pull back as the 5000 50mm HE auto-cannons begna to open up on the DSB's. Fortunatly each of the Fallen Angel's needed 30 minutes to recharge but the nuclear missiles didn't. Another 5 were already being launched at the other ships closely falloed by atleast a thousand plasma torpedos only directed at the other ships leaving the unity alone.
The ship was rocking as the guns fired on it. Slowly the sheilds were weakening but the barage form the Hell Storm wouldn't let up.
Romao city
Joshua saw the 17 year old and looked at him He turned and began to wlak towards him. Hew saw signs of the beating he took before and began to wonder why he was hurt.
Other landing site
The dropship hovered as it begna to set down gently as the boy was loaded up. One of the troops boarded as well to ensure he made it safely up. As they finaly reached the ship he was brought to the med lab where he would be reciveing a nural implant so they could upload english into his brain.

"Ion cannons 100%!"

"Fire!"

The firing sequence went off again, going through the usual routine, and finally blasting at the rival ship.

Scrambled com messages came through on the Unity's PA system. The two frigates that were attempting to retreat franticly tried to evade and shoot down the massive attack of plasma torpedos. "Evade! Evade!" "Too many! Fire port batteries!" "GAAAAHHHH-" In a hail of torpedos, the two ships virtually obliterated.

Point defence lasers and projectile cannons blaring, they tried to shoot down the nukes, shooting all five down completely and disabling them.

"Where are those reinforcments?!"

"Somthing is keeping them from entering the system! The warp wont allow them to come any closer!"

"Can we convert out of here?"

"No, somthing is keeping us from leaving"

"Damn..."

The fighters and DSBs were gone, nothing was left, save a Imperial Guard writing in space, still not dead from the explosion of his DSB, nor the vacuum killing him because of his armor.

Space Combat
A single VBR-2 flew out towards the lone guard and shifted into the hybrid for using one of the arms to grab the guard. It was standard to try and show mercy to troops that would die without help. AS he reached the hanger the VBR-2 placed the guard down as the doors sealed. Already a squad of heavily armed elites were waiting for the guard.
"This is you're only chance to surender. I sujest you take it."
During the time it took to send the message the ion blast hit the ship leveling four fighter laucnh bays killing 75 in the resulting explosion. But form the other launch bays landing craft were shooting out.

The Imperial Guard stood there, motionless. Protocal directed Imperial Guard to not move, nor speak, only stand as a last act of defiance.

"We will surrender once my ship is a smoldering peice of wreckage!"

"Ion cannon charging, 25%"

"Continue the particle cannon barrage on the main ship, dont stop until we run out of ammo!"

In the Hanger
"You are to surrender in the name of the Shadow Realm. If you do your wounds will be taken care of and you will be treated with respect."

Battle Bridge
"Target there particle cannons with the plasma cannons and order the Hell B to target there ion cannon's. After that we'll board them and take over there ship."
Outside
A rain of red death poured off of the two ships as plasma torpedos tore through space to the Unity. They were only ment to destroy the weapons that were threatening the Hell Storm's existance. Though closely fallowing the barage the landing craft hid in the energy wake looking for a opening to land or crash into to deposit the troops in it.

The Guardsman stood there, not moving a muscle, only staring straight ahead, into nothingness.

"Ion cannon 90%-"

The explosion rocked the ship. The result of destroying even the barrel of an ion cannon was devastating. The resulting white explosion obliterated the front quarter of the ship. Luckily, the bridge was alittle past midway on the ship, but nearly one thousand lives were lost, including the Unity's offensive weaponry.

The captain got up from the deck, after being throne down due to the explosion. "ugh... turn the ship around... try and outrun them." The captain ordered hazily, still not over the initial jolt.

Eric looked around and began to make his way towards the city. The fact that most commanders wore cloaks to help hide there weapons was one of the few things helping him blend in slightly. At that same time the other 14 were setting up a small outpost to help land more troops.
The other 15 in the mountains began to place demo charges to flaten a area for a dropship to land more troops and posibly a few fighters.

Castle of de Orks...
"Boss, da humans be at it dis time! Dey be bringin' allies to fight us!" the scout said to his boss.

"Shit dem to hell!" Lord Ghakarak cursed. "Go, and remove dem humans from our lands! I don't care what it takes!"

"But boss..."

An axe nearly cracked the scout's skull, and he scurried out to get some Orc troops to fight the newcomers.

Meanwhile...

The Hogg was as busy a pub as you'd expect anywhere. Drinks served by the gold coin, rowdy and shady characters chatting about jobs and bragging about the bad guys they've bagged or the girls they've laid.

All in all, it was a pretty normal pub.

Ewan Neeson and Liam McGregor took a seat and ordered some drinks. A little mind-trick to get the bartender to accept the coins, and all was done.

Ewan chatted it up with a burly knight who gave him his version of the story.

"You ain't from around here, eh?" The knight chuckled. "Been living in a cave long?"

"If you say so. I just want to know what's the situation around here."

"Well, we're locked in this never-ending war with the damned Orks. They raid villages, pillaging and raping as they went, and then we fight and drive them off. But every time we make inroads into their lands, we're driven off."

"A stalemate." Ewan nodded sagely.

"Yeah. But King Edwards -bless his soul- is trying mighty hard to put an end to this damned war. I hear he's going to invoke some kind of powerful magics to drive them off, but I don't know...Orc sorcerers are mighty tough. Killed a whole lot of my group with fire and also just...turned them inside out."

Not a good thing...perhaps...no, we don't have quite the numbers to compete. Ewan mused.

Space Battle

As Tyno was looking at the man, he froze up. He was starring directly as him, and the man was walking towards him. He pulled his head back from around the corner and started running.

At the same time, on the other side of the globe...
Outside the Shazazukian Village...
*Is being transported up and still asleep*

ooc: a lot has happened since I've been gone....

IC:

Commander Cohag looked at the reports coming in. While the enemy fleet was destracted he was going to make his strike. He had another fleet imbound with reinforcements. With those ships he was confident he would be victorious. Until then he would wait. The fleet was do to come in very soon....


ooc2: sorry, but not enough time to post a more detailed post will post one later!

As Commander Whetstone took her throne-like chair over looking the outpost's command center, the vixen's thoughts were mixxed - not concerning the alien invaders or need for reinforcments, but rather her recent 'meeting' with a certain Watch-Captain.

Fucking biomodded hormones; somehow, she suspected that her lecture regaurding the need to respect protocall and the chain of command was not helped by spreading her legs for him half way through the speach.

And fuck that stuck-up lab tech, too. A poor choice of words.. er, thoughts, she immediatly reflected; true, she could go across the base and get a new form within the hour, but there was a part of her - almost certaintly wired that way by design, all those years ago - that enjoyed it too much to let her.

And then the soloution to this little problem became apparent; turn-about was fair play, afterall. Crossing her legs as she leaned into the padded throne in satisfaction, she called the necessary paperwork up on her neural lack. Yes...

"Ma'am, sir;" the hunam sensor tech's eyes looking at a point somewhat below her own with obvious lust - no doubt the recent transfer had already heard stories, and there wasn't exactly a lack of eye candy befor him - "Sensor probes at the FTLi's edge have detected Commodore Braceforth's taskforce displacing insystem."

Whetstone gave an anoyed um-hum in reply, a small grin crossing her muzzel a moment later upon deciding that, while she was already at it, this annoying tech would share the Watch-Captain's fate. But first.. oh, it would be a waste to do so without... just once..

Damnit!, she mentally cursed, No!; and, temptation resisted, the rookie tech's fate grew even.. Pinker

------------------------

With a twisting of chance, signiture of Kanuckistani displacer drives, a taskforce was delivered to the edge of the FTLi feild, above the orbital plane.

Sheilds raised and weapons charged, just in case, they swiftly dove into the bubble of FTLi - rapidly accellerating to a tenth lightspeed on reactionless drives, they set course for the first planet and their comrads upon it.

OOC:
Taskforce is as follows(basic stats avalible vis the storefront link in my sig; keep in mind that UAI has heavily upgraded and modified these ships from the basic models):

1x Fell Warden Class Battle Dreadnaught
14x Zenith-Class Battlecruiser
4x Athens-Class Combat Carrier
16'000x Mk7 Daemon's Bane-class Unmanned Interceptor

And I'd like to note that UAI deep-range corperate culture is radicly different from the Kanuckistani norm. It has something to do with a less-than-sane CEO/owner.

Hell Storm's primary bridge
The capitain hadn't forgotten the other fleet. The other two Fallen Angels fired directly on the enemy's largest ship. "Ops. Fire off half the plasma cannons at the enemy's hangers and use the other half against there remaining ships. Also order the Hell B to use one of there remaining Fallen's to use it against the enemy comand ship as well." The ops officer noded and began to type on his terminal preforming the commands.
"Sir the renforcmetns have picked up an other fleet. There projected course is to the first planet. Best guess is tha they are there to ether protect the planet or try and take it before us."
"Damnit....."
Hell Storm's Battle Bridge
As the first officer noted the capitan taking the battle from her hands to face off against another fleet. Though she still had command of the landing pods. Atleast 120 were drected at gapping holes in the Unity's hull. They each carried 15 troops most were elites with the odd AE mixed in.
3rd Planet
Eric stopped and began to walk back to the landing area/basecamp. The 14 troops had set up well. Fox holes and trenches were inplace in decent areas and a small landing pad sat in the center. "Sargent expect company soon. My guess is that we are going to have alittle unwelcomed guests."
2nd Planet
Joshua began to run after Tyno easily catcing up thanks to his enhancements. His rifle was slung over his shoulder again and he didn't have any of his weapons out.
2nd Landing site/Troop Carrier
AS the dropship docked the boy was brought to the med lab where the medical officer began to do the standard post-op checks and brought the boy into a steral feild where he began to implant the nural link. Only hours after the surgery the boy was resting in a rather comfertable bed with a armed gaurd watching over him. They had already uploaded english into his brain and awaited his reaction.

OCC: Damn I go to sleep and this happens lol Sorry for the short ones had to go to school

In the Romao city...
Tyno tripped and fell to the ground, quickly trying to get up, but it was to late. He saw a shadow, and looked up. The man was standing above him. He noticed, however, that the weapons were put away, and nothing was in his hands.

At the same time, on the other side of the globe...
Outside the Shazazukian Village...
The 14 year old finally started to stir. As he woke up, he noticed a slight pain on his head. He quickly became aware of his surroundings, jumping up. He then saw the armed guard. He quickly pleaded "Don't hurt me!", then realizing he wasn't speaking him normal langauge. He knew what he was saying, but he was talking in a strange langauge.

3rd Planet
Eric stopped and began to walk back to the landing area/basecamp. The 14 troops had set up well. Fox holes and trenches were inplace in decent areas and a small landing pad sat in the center. "Sargent expect company soon. My guess is that we are going to have alittle unwelcomed guests."

Two dozen Orc troops commanded by the scout headed to the area where the men now set up a base, and they hid in some nearby bushes to scope the humans out. Though Orcs are dumb, these guys are at least smart enough to know that they'll have their work cut out for them. But then, the Orcs smiled anyway. To them, death was glorious, as they now believe they found a worthy enemy to challenge.

Three Orc archers pulled back on their bowstrings and aimed high. The arrows flitted into the air, sharp and poisoned...

Meanwhile, Liam was sipping a rather strong drink, the Force metabolizing the alcohol to protect his liver. He was watching his Master chat with the knight when a drunken man touched him on the shoulder.

"Hey, boy! This is my seat!" He yelled. Booze was on his breath.

Patrons began backing away, for this man is Kenry the Bastard, a notorous criminal who often uses bribes and force to prevent the king's police and guards from arresting him. They also didn't want to be in the immediate vicinity when a fight breaks out.

"I'm afraid that you'll have to sit somewhere else." Liam said calmly, his mind-trick at work. "I don't believe I saw a sign with your name on this seat."

Ewan smirked slightly, and watched the confrontation unfold. He noticed a younger boy walk into the pub, but there's a special aura around this younger one, not so different from Masaki. Royalty...

Brandon sat in the back of the pub, also watching the events unfold. He smiled, sensing complete confidence from that kid, who seems to be not much older than he is. If he's as good as I think he is, Kenry's going to get his ass kicked!

Patrons gasped at the young Jedi's remarks. He's going to get it now! Kenry, now enraged, reared back like a bear and unsheathed his sword and swung down. Unfortunately for him, the blade met the wood of the chair, and not Liam, for he moved so fast, he made an afterimage. A funny buzzing sound then suddenly made Kenry turn around. The boy he wanted to punish had a sword out, but this one was...different?! It was blue, and glowing, and seemed to be round, yet have no edge.

"Back down, now." Liam ordered, in a stance that means trouble. "I won't ask twice."

"How dare you tell me what to do!" Kenry roared, and swung his blade around. To his horror, the blades connected, but the glowing sword melted through his regular one, and the next stroke sent him howling like a wolf, for Liam has sliced his hand off.

Another guy advanced on Liam, but was stopped when Brandon unsheathed his own sword, revealing himself as Prince Brandon. "Enough. Don't make the same mistake he did."

The guy backed away, not wanting to fight two at once, one of them the King's own son. The patrons, having concluded the fight is over, went back to their drinks and conversations.

Lightsaber extinguished, Liam turned to Brandon. "Not bad."

"Thanks. Listen, my father wants to see you, and one other person..." Brandon looked around.

"I believe that would be me?" Ewan said, walking to the young man.

"Yeah." Brandon said. "I'm Brandon Hanson."

"Jedi Master Ewan Neeson, and my apprentice Liam McGregor." Master Ewan introduced themselves and bowed.

"That was an...interesting blade you have there." Brandon said. "But come with me. Kenry may have been defeated, but he still has strong allies."

"I see." Ewan and Liam followed the young man out of the pub, and into the streets of Valdosta. In the shadows, a cloaked figure watched them from across the street, and smiled wickedly...

The Klaxon was ringing and shouting all through the decinated hallways of the Unity. "Warning, prepare to repel boarders. Warning, prepare to repel boarders" The Unity had lost all thier Imperial Guard, the only soldiers trained to fight boarders or infantry. But they had to make due, the 0-G corp ship crews grabbed what weapons they could, pistols, submachine gun or two, even two men were carrying the IGSA, the weapons the Imperial guard used, and were planning to use it as a mounted gun, since it was too big to carry. All gathered at various intersections on the ship, anf by blast doors, awaiting the enemy.

Meanwhile, Knight Ronoka and Padawan Janson headed into the orbit of the second planet, watching carefully for stray shots from the combatants. They descended into the atmosphere, wondering what the inhabitants of this planet may be like.

Out on a rural farm...
It was a very hot, sunny day on the large wheat farm. Two of the farmers, Godha and Lao, were walking through the field, checking the wheat, when they heard a sound they had never heard before. As they looked up, they say someone streaking across the sky, high, high above them. "Wjat the hell is that? Godha asked, starring up at the thing. No answer. Lao was seemingly in a trans, starring at it.

The shuttle landed in a clearing away from any inhabited area, and was immediately camoflaged to prevent it being seen. The two Jedi then went outside, and sensing a town some miles away, began walking.

The flagship shook violently as some of the enemy fire breached the shields. Cohag could only imagine the damage being wrought upon the other ships in his fleet. They were not nearly up to the specs of his ship. But now it was time to return the favor to the enemy ships.

As his ships reached optimal firing range, he ordered his fleet to upon fire. Thousands of missiles, ion blasts and turbolaser fire lashed out in angry, as if eager for revenge. Perhaps if he could reach on of the other unknown fleets in the area, they could defeat this one together…..

Space Combat
"How charcged is the Hell's Fury?"
"65% sir."
"Fire it at there comand ship."
"But sir the blast won't destroy them."
"Just do it. And prep the darkstar cannons to fire. I want all 120 of them fireing on that enemy flag ship."
Just as the capitan finished speaking the ship began to rock as explosions rippled thorugh the ship. The sheilds help the wors back and the anti-missile turrets managed to destroy several missiles but the ship suffered. Fighters were being redirected towards the enemy ships. Afew VBR-3's still had a full load of tactical nukes and began to target the enemy ship.
Boardind the Unity
The landing craft punctured the hull and entered in heavily damaged areas. Slowly the troops began to filter out now using there motion trackers to there advantage. Most of the elites were armed with XR-37's while the AE were armed with XR-40's.

2nd planet
Joshua looked at him and exteneded his hadn to help him up. Even though he looked terifying anyone could tell he was trying to be kind.
[/b]Oribit of 2nd planet[/b]
"We arn't going to hurt you," a man replied to the 14 yearold, "Oh and that pain in the back of your head is a surgicly inplanted nural link. It can basicly enhance you're learning abilitys. Like how you speak our english and you don't ever recall learning it."

3rd planet
The troops litteraly dove into fox holes and used there armored hands as sheilds. The arrows were only scratching the pain on the armor but the orcs were in for a surprise. "Return fire!" Eric called out as he took aim with his XR-40 and fired the underside plasma morter. Mush like it's larger brother the rifle mounted morter launched a bright red explosive energy pack. To the orcs it would look like a form of fire magic. Closely fallowing the morter was a hail of 13.5mm rounds from the elite's XR-37's.

'Magic' fire lanced the Orcs and several were cut down. They charged, though the shells cut through their armor like it wasn't even there. However, there was an Orc sorcerer and he growled spells, throwing fireballs in reply to the mortars and returning bullets back to their origins. He's a tough customer!

3rd Planet
Most of the elites dropped and took cover in foxholes or trenches. Eric on the other hand slung his rifle and actiavted his twin plasma swords. He was already half way towards the remaining orc in only seconds. His demon blood and his enhancements he thanked for the speed as he began to swipe at the orc leaving the air thick with the smell of ozone.

The sorcerer pulled out a black sword, glowing red on the edges, and blocked the plasma blades, just barely preventing decapitation. Magic and technology fought and sparks flew wherever they met.

"You're good, human. But not good enough!" He hissed, and fought the soldier with inhuman speed.

"Oh you havn't seen the half of it," he said in a 'dark' voice as a dark black cape slowly began to roll down his back. To anyone that knew a demon cloak when they saw one this was one dead on the nail. Eric began to bring the blades down on the sword even harder than before. But this itme he as begining to use his fairly large boot atempting to bring new meaning to the term 'My boot your ass.'

Crewmembers of the Unity fought in desperation. They were in no way trained to fight trained infantry, nor equiped for it. Most of the crew ran before they even say the enemy, while others were shot randomly, just to be mowed down in a second. The two crewmembers that were using the IGSA ran long ago, one shot in the back as it looked like he tried to run.

"Sir, boarders nearing the bridge, engine room, and hangers."

"Damn damn damn..."

"Oh you havn't seen the half of it," he said in a 'dark' voice as a dark black cape slowly began to roll down his back. To anyone that knew a demon cloak when they saw one this was one dead on the nail. Eric began to bring the blades down on the sword even harder than before. But this itme he as begining to use his fairly large boot atempting to bring new meaning to the term 'My boot your ass.'
"Oof!" At a point, the sorceror was kicked in the stomach and staggered back, giving Eric the opening he needed to kill the Orc.

Combat on the Unity
The AE leading the assault on the bridge had twin plasma swords out. He was slicing through counter-boarders like nothing. His squad reached the bridge after suffering minor wounds. "Ladys looks like this mission is over," he said as he began to slice at the door.
The AE leading the assault on the hanger was using a diffrent style. With a plasma pack launcher in hand he fired around corners and into open rooms slaughtering the inhabitants. As they reached the hanger he keyed his com and alerted the other two teams his squads was at there objective.
The assault on engine room how ever was abit more organized and traditional. XR-37's and the AE's XR-40 were chopping down counter-boarders in a rain of death. Most of the time they were jsut aiming for the non-kill zones where the shot would be able to stay alive but not pose a threat. But when it came to counter-boarders with heavy weapons it was an 13.7 HE round to the head. Though some unlucky counter-boarders suffered hits form PI rounds.
3rd Planet
Eric smirked and suddenly raised his fist and directly brought it down over the orc's head. First the plasma sword sliced the head clean off cauterizing the wound preventing bleeding while Eric's fist smashed into it splattering the orc's skull and brain matter everywhere. The Elites looked at Eric like he was a god to them. The fact that he could do such things and not get wounded was amazing.

With the Orc 'boss' dead, the battle was over. No orcs were left alive and their bodies littered the ground.

His ship was in ruin, he had failed in retreiving the Ark-sect agents... if they were even still alive, but most of all, he failed the Emporer, his god, Bhael. The engines were all but disabled, hangers taken over, and now some one or thing was cutting the door to the bridge open. The rest of the bridge crew tried to hide, or find another way out, there was no other way out. The captain though, unholstered his ancient, but good condition M1911. He aimed at the door with one hand, awaiting for them to cut through.

Finally they cut through the door, and the captain applied pressure to the trigger....

The two Jedi were escorted to the castle by Prince Brandon, and they soon met the King.

"Welcome to Valdosta, my friends. Would you care for a refreshment?" He asked.

"No, no thank you, your Majesty." Master Neeson said. "I am Jedi Master Ewan Neeson, and this is my Padawan apprentice Liam McGregor. Was it you that I felt when I entered this city?"

Perceptive... "Perhaps. Listen, you probably heard from some citizens about the Orcs..."

"Yes, I did." Ewan nodded, and so did Liam. "Though we are Jedi Knights, we are keepers of the peace, not soldiers. Although in recent times, that's not strictly true..."

"Hmm." The king. "From some of my airship crews, I have heard of a small metal ship coming down from above. I suspected that there could be more than that, which could help us win this damed conflict against the Orcs. Thus, I ask you this: will you aid us in defeating the Orcs? We have stalemated for centuries, and recently, we've begun to lose towns and villages..."

"Hmm." An interesting proposal...with the Eclipse's superior troops (300) and a couple of squadrons...and no Coredian likes Orcs, even if he's a Jedi. "How soon do you wish for our soldiers to intergrate with ours?"

"I'd say--" Suddenly, a guard burst into the throne room.

"Sorry to disturb you, Highness, but the Orcs have taken Newdon! They're razing it to the ground!"

"What?" Newdon was only a few days away from Valdosta itself. Already, refugees began to stream into the city. "Master Neesan, I believe that it's sooner, rather than later, that we'd need some help."

"Indeed. I shall call them, then." Master Neeson pulled out a comlink. "It'll take but minutes for my troops to arrive."

"Good." King Hanson said. Finally, we could win this thing.

On the Unity
The AE took the hit and the bullet passed through his personel sheilds weak point and struck him in the shoulder joint of his armor. The force managed to floor him. The Elites behind him instantly opened up on the capitan with a hail of gunfire that would normaly shred a dozen men but it was centered on one man this time. As the squad medic tended to the wounded commander the rest of the troops began to locate the rest of the bridge crew removing any weapons they had on them. "In hte name of the Shadow Realm of Phalanix you are to surender or face death," the second in comand said as she entered the bridge. She held a C-36 Long Arm rifle equiped with a 15mm HE shell launcher aswell as an extended clip (40 insted of 20 rounds). In the other main areas it was almost the exact same way the troops began to round of people.

Hell Storm Hanger 2-B
The dropship still hadn't been opened. The Elites and three AE had there weapons trained on the exits of the craft waiting for the passengers and crew to exit.

3rd planet
Eric grabed one of the 5x zoom scopes and began to attach it to his rifle. The squad came down fairly prepared but they would need mroe troops if they were to secure the area. Eric began to jog out. He was on recon once more. Before he left though he called in for a dropship to resuply the squad with more men. As he ran he noticed smoke coming from the distance and began to run in that direction.

Almost immediatly, all the crew shoved up thier hands, surrendering to thier new captors, or would have killers.

"J-J-Just l-let me s-s-send a shipw-w-wide order to s-s-s-surrender"

The com officer slowly activated the ship klaxon, "All hands, d-drop your weapons and s-s-surrender, they w-wont harm you if you s-s-surrender."

The take over the the Unity was complete.

On the Unity
"This is Lt. Commander Redfeild to PSN Hell Storm. We have the Unity. I sujest you send in medical teams because there are some wounded. And Also deply one of the corvettes so we can remove the prisioners.."
"Coppy that Lt. Comander. A corvette will be on route with medical staff. Untill then command the Unity."
"Copy that," she replied in her com, "Ok people start walking to the hanger!" At that point the rest of the Elites were poking the bridge crew with the barrels of there rifles to move them along.

Commodore Braceforth's taskforce took a mere half hour to cross the FTLi barrier, the pace almost leasurly for the powerful IDD drives that propelled the fleet.

As it neared the first world, the outpost's own garrison departed concealed docks, a pair of battlecruisers and two hundred fighters lifting through the atmosphere to meet their fellows.

For a moment, as the ships closed, it may have apeared to onlookers as if they were attacker and deffender, but alien hopes for such were short lived - the two fleets becoming one, taking up a defencive position around the planet below.

When the Orc Boss has recieved word that his troops were killed by wretched humans, he was so enraged that he began to order a complete offensive against the villagers in Newdon. He would end this war NOW, but driving all the way to Valdosta itself. Ghakarak took great pleasure in ripping out the hearts of children and adolescents and snapping their necks as they died in horrible pain. When he finished with the killings, his hands was stained red, but he gloried in the feel of their lives draining away.

"Boss. We be ready to move out." A grunt reported.

"Good." The Orc Boss growled as he walked astride his warbeast. "Signal da armies. We move on de human capital now! By the end of the week, every last damned human will die!"

---

Soldiers of the Valdostian Kingdom were astonished by the powerful weapons of their new allies, as the troops of the Eclipse began to set up fortifications and trenches in the plains of the city, and the civilians were sent inside the thick walls of the city while the soldiers are sent out to the plains.

"Powerful weapons." King Hanson mused, as he watched the blasters and a couple of thermal detonators explode for practice. "Your men and women (!) ought to be able to take on the Orcs with no problem."

"That's what we hope to achieve." Master Neeson agreed. "If only to preserve what is the future."

"Yes." Edward said, thinking about his children. "I only hope they can survive this..."

Meanwhile, the young prince Brandon is restless in the castle, as Liam McGregor tries to keep him safe. Of course, many a boy wants to fight the enemy, and Brandon is no exception...

"You do realize that you're likely to not survive out there." Liam tried to reason with the 13-year-old. "What would become of your mother and sisters? How would your father feel if he managed to survive and you didn't?"

"I know, I know." Brandon retorted, pacing. "But I just can't help but feel that I'm needed out there. Something isn't right..."

Liam sighed. "In due time, you get your chance to prove yourself, I can promise that. However, what's more important is that you keep yourself alive. Although you do have a point, something does smell fishy around here, and it's not the tuna sandwich we had earlier..."

Brandon chuckled, a bit nervously, as he awaited news from the front...

Unity
The prisoners quietly obeyed, walking towards thier hanger, and the unknown.

Some lightyears away
In the vastness of space, massive armada sprawls, steaming as quickly as they can at sublight speed to thier distressed sister ship, but without the warp vortex, it would take thousands of years to reach the ship.

Ships of all kinds were traveling, some 120 ships in all, ranging from destroyers, frigates, small scale carriers, transports, and the Unity's only two sister ships, the Uraj and the Azaha Guardian. Over the course of several hours had these ships arrived, and many more traveling to meet the armada.

"Sir, we have lost contact with the Unity, either she has been destroyed, or taken over."

Lord Asagai, equivilent to a four star admiral, stood on the bridge of the Uraj, the Empire of Bhael's flagship.

"Send a subspace message to the enemy fleet, tell them 'In the name of the Emporer God, disable what keeps us from from warp vortexing and surrender your ships'" As the Lord spoke, the com officer did.

On the Unity
"My name is Commander Valentine. And as you all know you are now prisoners. But you will not be treated with disrespect or abused in any way unless you have pissed off the wrong person. Anyways you will be serving as a repaire crew and a building crew on the Hell Storm and the 7th planet. You will be working full 12 hour shifts and after that you are free to do as you wish aslong as you stay out of restricted areas. Are there any questions?"

Hell Storm Battle Bridge
"Ma'am getting a signal. They are demanding our surrender."
"What a joke.... Send them a code 45."
Respons to the message
Go to Hell and don't come back.

3rd planet
As Eric crossed over the hill he shouldered his rifle and looked down at the burning town. "Shit," he muttered as he began to move down sneaking through the shadows.

OCC: Kanuckistan which planet did the fleet for around?

Imperial Aramada, bridge of the Uraj
"The bastards, they think they can push us aside? Contact the Ark-sect agent on the 6th planet from the sun."

"Sir? I thought the Unity was sent there to retreive all the agents, and they did, but they were all captured."

"Well we left one there, was classified, need to know basis, and now you need to know."

"Yessir"
6th planet surface
The agent looked around his meager house, low standards by the rest of this worlds civilization. He finally found what he was looking for, his subspace com, as it was beeping.

He walked over to it and picked up. He listend intently, hearing all the message. "Indeed" He muttered to himself. The Ark-sect agent strode over to his closet, opened it, then removed the back panel to reveal a hidden compartment. Inside was a suit, dark yellow segmented armor, with a helmet that had a signle red 'eye' in the center.

He strapped it on quickly, and turned a dial on his belt, he was gone, without a trace. The front door opened, then closed quickly, as if on its own.

Battle Bridge of the Hell Storm
"Ma'am picking up a signal... F*ck it's gone!"
"Damnit deploy a ghost agent. Dethaw Agent Maxwell before I have to kick your ass."
"Yes ma'am!"

Cryo 2 of the Hell Storm
"Jesus she wants us to dethaw a dead woman. Why in the hell would she want us to do that?"
"Just do it before she has our asses."
Planet's surface
As the cryo pod began it's defrost cycle two of the drop pods were released around the place the agent was staying. As they impacted a Shadow agent steped out of one while a ghost steped out of the other.

6th planet surface
The Ark-sect agent silently made his way through the city. Not making a sounds, even when he stepped on leaves or glass, the sounds seems to have been ripped away from the object, so its as if it never made a sounds at all. He began his search for a shuttle, somthing that would take him to the 1st planet from the sun, where supposedly the anti-warp jump machine was.

Finally he came to a patrol he beleived to be the invading armys'. He silently stalked his prey, waiting for them to take him where he wanted to go, but keeping a safe distance, as to not alert them.
