Cry Havoc, and let loose the Strills of Waaaaaar! (Mandalorian Dominion of Bastion)

[Kable Detta]

Kable did a quick inventory check of his gear then of his wife's. Everything seemed to be in order. The T-Visor of his buy'ce rested on his wife. He raised his left hand and placed it on the left side of her own buy'ce, where her cheek would have been.

He said no words, he just stood there. There were no words that he could have expressed. He was in a battlefield with the love of his life. This was how glory was earned. This, was how legends were born... [member="Briika Tor"]

 

[Briika Munin]

Briika enjoyed her husband's gloved hands going over her body checking her gear out probably a little more than she should of but hey… newlywed remember. The battle medic thought that she would pass muster no problem, but it never hurt to get the thumb's up from your commanding officer on your team; which would be [member="Kable Detta"] being the senior commando of the two.

When Kable was done with his inspection, he gave her a tender Keldabe kiss with the front of his buy'ce that Mando couples did on the battlefield. As his hand stroked her cheek as if the helmet wasn't baring him from doing so, her gloved left hand was placed on the black armored plate over his heart. They held that pose for a few moments as no words needed to be spoken to share the love they each felt for the another, then a familiar voice crackled through her personal comm unit.

"Bree'ika, what''s your location. We need to get those cannons down, and Ral and I need your guns. We have a speeder."

Bree lifted her petite hand off of her husband's broad chest and tapped her index finger up to where her ear would be inside her helmet as to alert Kable of an incoming communication, then blinked her HUD to add him to the Tor sibling conversation so that both of them would be able to talk to her brother.

"Copy that, Kad'ika. We had to ditch our ride. We are located about two miles down the road from the number one shield generator plant or what's left of it near the bridge. A lift would be nice. Wouldn't want you two kids to have all the fun."

[member="Ralize Darkfeather"] [member="Kad Tor"]

 

[Nolan Detta]

Nolan was screaming through the air, singing in his heart out, when his altimeter blinked that he was very close to the ground. Rolling feet down, he blinked his HUD to fire his jetpack to counter his momentum. He had enough time to bounce off a burnt out speeder and rolling to a stop, face down. He rolled to a knee in time to see a wielder of duel silver blades taking down Legionnaires. He also witnessed the frigate he just launched from coming right for that same area. He picked himself up and got himself behind a building as it neared the surface, seeing as it will cause a massive explosion, since the engines are busted, leaking fuel and the self destruct was still counting down.

[The Hound]

He was here. Whomever it was he had felt before...Was here.

Turin sat on the steps to the throne, the room long empty. The few that he had seen had told him of the Emperor's fate, death by Sith. He doubted the Mandalorians knew this....Or even cared. With his eyes closed the young man meditated, attempting to spread calm, at least through the palace grounds. Had this been a younger Turin, a less experienced one he would have flinched at every light that was extinguished, but now he simply mourned silently as thousands were losing their lives protecting the people of Bastion.

He was nearly here. This....Mystery.

[Kad Tor]

"Copy that, we're on our way,"

Kad blinked, and muted his end of the comm to talk with [member="Ralize Darkfeather"].

"Okay they're close to the first generator and stuck. We need to go get them. They ditched their ride.

The sooner the cannons came down the sooner the invasion could be over. The sooner it was over the sooner Kad got answers from [member="Kable Detta"] and [member="Briika Tor"] about what was going on, and the sooner he could get his lips locked with Ral's again. Kad didn't have to tell Ral that as she was already on the way.

The way she drove, it didn't take long to arrive. Soon Kad was motioning for the two to get in the back seat.

"Be careful, I got plenty of explosives in that bag. I'm sure you saw my explosion from here," Kad said with a smug look under his buy'ce. "Okay, Ral, punch it," he said once everyone was in.

 

[Kable Detta]

Their ride had arrived. Kable jumped into the back and slapped [member="Kad Tor"] on the shoulder plate affectionately.
Kable responded to Kad's quip. "I think I must of missed it. I was to busy admiring our explosion, you know? the one that went of first!"
He couldn't help but laugh aloud at the banter. [member="Briika Tor"] [member="Ralize Darkfeather"]

 

[Briika Munin]

Briika followed suit and jumped into the backseat of the speeder sitting down next to [member="Kable Detta"], being careful of the bag with the explosives in it.

"Vor'e, vode'ika," Bree said to [member="Ralize Darkfeather"] and [member="Kad Tor"] in the front. "Oh… There was another explosion?!" she retorted, patting her husband's thigh plate with her gloved hand.

 

[Ralize Darkfeather]

Ral had decided that silence was best, sparing one hand from the controls to grasp one of Kad's. She glanced over her shoulder and nodded to both [member="Kable Detta"] and [member="Briika Tor"] as they settled into the back of the speeder, bright emerald gaze coursing over both of them carefully.

But she said nothing, simply smiled as they spoke.

Settling back behind the controls once more, her fingers coursed over them as Kad told her to punch it. He knew what she was about to do, and braced himself accordingly. Kable and Briika had no idea...neither one of them had ever been in a speeder she was driving before, never mind one that she'd spent the last week modifying for speed.

When you tell a mechanic to punch it, she does.

The speeder shot forward, bursting through the foliage and onto the main road. It was the easiest way back into the city, and it had the added bonus of being a mostly straight road...which lent itself beautifully to just going full throttle. So Ralize did, and smiled with just a little too much pleasure as the pair in the backseat got tossed around a bit.

The emerald eyed mechanic took a single glance over at [member="Kad Tor"] and winked, before giving the controls and the road ahead her full attention once more.

 

[Kad Tor]

Kad held on for the ride. [member="Ralize Darkfeather"] was quite the driver, and he enjoyed the Sopers her speeders could achieve. The cannons were coming into view, and it was clear they were heavily guarded. The speed Ral was taking though left only one option. They had to pick off as many guards as the could. Looking back to [member="Briika Tor"] and [member="Kable Detta"], Kad motioned with carbine that they need to start picking off guards.

He started firing and took out a couple right off. Hopefully that gave them the visual as well. Ralize was coming in fast so it was possible they would get by many of the guards, but they still needed to two out what they could. The less blaster bolts they had to avoid the better. Once they reached the cannons, it was matter of blowing them up.

Kad let his siblings comments go until now. He looked to Kable and through his buy'ce comm spoke.

"P is for plenty... That's how you get an explosion that can actually be noticed... Unlike the one you supposedly got off first... How was I supposed to know you beat us if I couldn't hear it or see it?"

 

[Nolan Detta]

Nolan walked into the throne room after he cleared the Bastion soldiers from the entrance. He looked inside to see the man who just earlier had been wielding the silver blades, just as the crashed frigate exploded down the street from them. The shock-wave made him take an awkward step forward. He looked back over his shoulder to see a huge mushroom cloud reaching for the clouds above.

Whoa, he said allowed, there goes the neighborhood, his voice metallic through his helmets speakers. Pretending to just notice the man...

Oh, was that your house? I parked my ship on? My bad, I'm new to that whole parallel parking thing. Just got my pilots license you see, and your security admiral wouldn't let me drive so I got a little angry and I know they say you're not supposed to drive angry but I couldn't help myself. So I took the ship and lost control, like my instructor said I would, and well...He gestured to the explosion...I'm sure my insurance covers me on other planets, I'm sure I have my agents card around here somewhere, Nolan looked about his gear mockingly. Aww, I left it in my other set of armor, my bad bro. You mad?

[The Hound]

This was not the person he had been waiting for, but a Mandalorian this far into the palace was not a good sign. Turin's cold blue eyes fell on the Mandalorian as he entered, rambling about some explosion. Ironic really.

As he spoke, wasting air with his taunts Turin was focused on the ground beneath his armored foe, or rather his left foot. Sitting, staring the man right in the visor he gathered energy in the Force, exciting the molecules in the beskar, heating them up. He didn't know how close to the skin or jumpsuit the metal was to his talkative friend's foot, or if he even noticed it. Standing, his lightsaber flying from his waist he lunged at the man, not allowing him to finish his speech. Almost as if on cue, the was a sickening, flat pop that sounded more like a bang as the metal of the Mandalorian's boot seemed to spontaneously explode, likely removing the foot entirely, or if he was lucky, which was likely as Turin was still learning to concentrate on smaller areas. Either way he would likely be in a lot of pain.

At least it would shut him up. Force combustion was funny that way.

With a heavy swing, yet light as moving a lightsaber did not take much effort it being a weightless blade, he swung in an upward arc to catch the man right in the chin.

[Kable Detta]

The sudden increase of speed forced Kable back into the seat. No doubt the intent of the driver, but Kable didn't mind. He had done insertions into combat from drop pods so it was exhilarating more than anything else. "Whoooooooooooo Hooooooooo" He yelled through the shared helmet comm.

Kad's come back filled his ears. And upon seeing the cute couple holding hands in the front seat, Kable had all the ammo he needed.
"I imagine everything is hard to notice when your attention is .....elsewhere" He chuckled heartily.
"Well, lets go blow up more stuff" [member="Kad Tor"] [member="Ralize Darkfeather"] [member="Briika Tor"]

 

[Briika Munin]

Briika wasn't exactly as excited as [member="Kable Detta"] while being pushed back hard into the backseat of the heavily modified speeder it seemed, but at least the A-team were going somewhere fast so they could get their next business on the agenda done and back to more important things. Though, the new objective would be more a fly by the seat of your pants kinda affair as they hadn't scoped this one out and were going in blind, so who knows what kind of fun they were going to have.

As they came up on the cannons fast, Bree aimed her twin blaster pistols out the side of the speeder and picked off the surprised security guards like her vod'ika did, then when the vehicle came to a stop the blonde jumped out and placed herself in a good position to give covering fire with her "Kath Hound" for those going to plant the explosives.

"Covering... Go, go, go!"

[member="Kad Tor"] [member="Ralize Darkfeather"]

 

[Kad Tor]

At least [member="Briika Tor"] got the message that Kad needed help picking off guards as they went through crowd. She was also good for cover. That was good because Kad and Kable were gong to need it as they went in to take care of the canons. [member="Kable Detta"] must have just missed the non verbals Kad had sent his way. That was fine, but Kad used them more than his comm.

With a bag of explosives slung over his shoulder, Kad made his way for the canons. He wasn't too worried whether the girls could provide the cover the boys needed to blow the canons up. A couple of guards got in Kad's way, but they weren't a problem. Kad tossed a thermal detonator to Kable.

"Aim for the cannon's power cell. I'll cover you. Oh and best make for the one off the left to create a distraction. We can split up from there and meet up back at the speeder. I have no real desire to take any charges back to Mandalore with me so use them all."

Kad blinked and connected to [member="Ralize Darkfeather"]'s private comm frequency, the one she had shared with Kad of course. The whole thing was impromptu and so there was a chance something could happen. Kad wasn't going to die before saying what he wanted to say, so he just went for it.

"Hey Ral'ika, in case something something happens and I don't make it back, I just wanted you to know, I am madly in love with you!"

With that, Kad popped out from the corner he had been hiding around to cover Kable's throw.

 

[Kable Detta]

Kable leaped out of the speeder, firing as he moved. Kable didn't hesitate, when Kad created an opening Kable bolted left. He ran forward to get within accurate throwing range. Kable let his rifle hang and switched the thermal to his right hand.

He primed the detonator as he ran and counted down
Three
Two
One...
He hurled the thermal at the power cell, as it flew through the air he comm'd the others [member="Kad Tor"] [member="Briika Tor"][member="Ralize Darkfeather"]
<COVER!>

The thermal landed right next to the power cell and detonated two seconds later. The explosion was huge. Plumes of fire shot upward and the ground shook with the force of the blast.

 

[Nolan Detta]

Nolan saw the man move before he finished his comments. He made to move then felt a large pop at his left foot and then an intense flush of heat washed over it as it spontaneously was caught on fire... and was gone.

Awwww...He dropped to his butt to put the fire out as the saber wielding man swung at him. The blade missed him by millimeters, cutting off the range finder on his helmet. He then proceeded to roll around on the ground, patting his nub out, yelling...Stop, drop and roll! Stop, drop and roll!

Nolan could feel the saber wielders presence above him as he rolled around. He felt the energy the man had put out in his charge, and felt it when his leg caught on fire. He didn't know how, but he we able to see the man's movements when he charged, they seemed to be predictable in a way.

[Ordo]

[member="Turin Val Kur"]

Ordo's armoured feet pounded on the floor of the former emperor's palace. His black armour scratched and dented but still fit for combat. It was time to take this Planet and see this pointless assault at an end. He drew his beskad as he approached the large double doors that led into the thrown room. He could feel someone on the other side, a presence that was powerful enough for Ordo to feel with out effort. and as far as he could tell the only defence that Gil's crew had yet to take down. Ordo drew on the force and lifted his foot and kicked the doors centre mass. The heavy double doors flew open and Ordo stood in the open hatchway. The 'T' of his visor met the man's eye's and Ordo held his beskad tip down and away in his right hand. It was time to take Bastion and send it's defender to a new home.

 

[The Hound]

Surprise displayed itself across Turin's face as the doors flew off of their durasteel hinges. Using the Force to sweep the burning Mandalorian aside he stopped the door before it landed where the Mando had once been, tossing it to the side as well. "Why are you doing this? These people have already lost so much, their ruler is dead, the people are confused." Anger welled up inside him, the air around Ordo began to heat up, the molecules moving faster and faster. Sparks began to dance around the large Mandalorian.

It was obvious Turin was trying to cause the air to combust, but causing air to combust was much more difficult than a solid object. Instead, when he realized nothing could be down now he lunged at the black clad Mandalorian, both of his silver blades active and humming through the air.

[Nyos Val]

Marrik was running through the city, energy arrows hitting their intended targets with surgical accuracy. He stopped at the base of the palace, setting up a defense against any who tried to take it back.

He was holding off counter attack after counter attack. They got organized and began to come en-force. Marrik broke his line and ran into the fray as ten soldiers. His energy bow was stowed into the nape of his back and his twin vibroswords, turning into a whirling tornado of death.

 

[Nolan Detta]

Nolan continued to roll on the floor, he stopped for a moment when the door got kicked in by @Ordo. He felt his presence, he could swear something was building inside him, he was unsure of it, but he could feel a swelling of energy in his body. His foot stopped burning, and stopped bleeding. He looked down at it and noticed the foot was gone, but the wound was not painful. He looked up at the silver saber wielder and Ordo, Um...I'll just sit here, don't let me bother you.

Maybe someone could give me some water or a snack pack, cause I have a feeling it's gonna be a while.
