Dirt and Ice (Mandalorian Dominion of Bimmiel)

[Darth Banshee]

Darth Banshee finally started making her way over to smoke in the air, she had bit worried. Did the mandalorians survive the crash, where the people who shot them down their. She new even if the enemy was not their yet they be making their way over soon, as smoke from the crash could be seen miles around.
She decide to use force cloak, she began focused inward she made her feel small. She began to imagine herself, as small as a mouse. She soon began to cloak her self in force, she then moved forward towards crash site slowly and watch fully. Even though she was invisible thanks to the force she still practice sneaking, as you never know how good some one sense are. She would not want to be caught out, by the enemy.

[Nolan Detta]

On the horizon, in image would be seen running. Those with [member="Strider Garon"] would see the image blurr into a visage of a person running. Then they would notice it was Nolan Detta. And then they would hear him yelling like he was running from something. Then behind him they would see a pack of creatures chasing behind him.
_____________________

Nolan was running for his life. The creatures chasing him were foaming at the mouth at the smell of fresh meat that was within reach. Nolan tried his jet pack but it was damaged. All he could do was make it cough a couple times then whine into a stall.

"Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap! Crap!"

[OOC: sorry guys, got sidetracked and forgot about this one.]

"At least you're in one piece." she looked at the mesh of metal she was under. From what she could tell it wasn't supporting anything structurally, so moving it wouldn't be a problem.

"I'm going to lift this, so you can get yourself clear, move quickly though." She reached a hand out and grasped the metal with the force and lifted it. It came up about a foot and she held it there so @Kara Cabur could get out.

 

[Siobhan Kerrigan]

[member="Mia Monroe"]


It was at this juncture that Siobhan finally arrived where Mia was. There was still no sign of the natives who had shot them down. Or perhaps they were already attacking somewhere else? Eh, whatever, surely there would be a chance to shoot, maim and blow scum up soon.


Apparently Mia was already getting her Forciness on, lifting the chunk of metal that had buried [member="Kara Cabor"] up with the Force. "Nice to see you're still in one piece," Siobhan commented. Was Forciness even a word? Well, now it shall be one! Mia seemed to be doing fine lifting the metal piece, so she did interfere. Speaking of which, this writer finds Sio should have beskar bones as well!

 

[Darth Banshee]

Darth Banshee still under cover the force, began to move closer to the encampment. She was nervous, though she could see bodies moving. She got closer, and began to recognize them. They where mandalorians, she could see the T shape in their helmets. This was a good give away, but she decide to get closer just encase the enemy had taken their armour. She could hear their voices as she got closer. She decide to stay cloaked, to hear what they said about her behind her back. That and to keep an eye anyone coming to kill them. After all that plum of smoke was big sign say, we are here

 

[Kara Cabor]

Kara rolled out from under the sheet of metal, climbing to her feet with a slight wince once she was clear. "Vor'e. I knew there was a reason I hated diplomacy." She said lightly, looking from Mia to the new woman - Kara tried to think of her name, but couldn't come up with it. She stood a bit awkwardly, feeling like there was something else she ought to say, but for the life of her she couldn't think what it was.

[Adenn Gra'tua]

Adenn Gra'tua woke to the voice of [member="Strider Garon"] and the feeling of heat on his right side, causing him to open his eyes and search for the source of both things, finding Strider nowhere, but finding the source of the heat. A fire had lit on his right arm, and partially his chest "Gah!" he gasped while jumping up, his left arm moved to swipe the fire away, doing nothing to put it out though "Ner, it almost as if the fire is a-" The bounty hunter could not finish his sentence, as his suspicions were answered by seeing oil dripping down right next to where he was laying "Osik." The burning on his arm had turned unbearable, all that Adenn could do was search for water, this being a ice planet... 'There! A mound of snow, I can smother it there!' he quickly ran over to the pile -not noticing the wreckage around him- before shoving his arm in the pile "Ah... That feels better, now to find out why-... Never mind." finally, he had seen the wreckage, a burning pile of metal and other things, the hole he came out of seemed to be the only one in the ship... That Adenn could see "Well shab, my day just got interesting."

"Adenn Gra'tua, reporting."

[Strider Garon]

Just outside cockpit/crash site

More mandos sounded off giving Strider a sense of relief that more had survived. Mandos were hard people to kill, even when crushed in a tin can they find ways to beat the odds. Even Nolan Detta who Strider could see clearly through the smashed out forward view port was making a valiant effort on not becoming a meal for a pack of determined creatures.

To answer Basaba’s need for violence Strider brought her attention towards the advancing Nolan with friends in tow “Seems a Detta is in need of saving”. One task at a time, Strider confidently walked the view port exposing his body to the Bimmiel elements as he shouldered his EE-3 carbine. The weapon was ancient, been in his family for generations and it was his most trusted friend and ally in times of crisis.

“No’ika!” Strider’s deep toned voice coolly and father like, laced into the coms to Nolan Detta. “ Run straight at us, don’t zig or zag!” He commanded as he knelt down into a kneeling sniper position. Bearing his Carbine’s cross-hair upon his first target, a creature on Nolan’s far right flank. With a gentle squeeze of the trigger a blaster bolt ripped through the desert air and found home center mass on the creature, dropping it stone dead into the dirt.

INSIDE AN UNDER GROUND FACILITY.

The huge Vong Warmaster stood over a new hive of Amphistaffs as shapers of the exiled sect worked around him. His thick voduum crab armor a red so deep it neared black. A living mask over his mandible grafted mouth hid his grotesque visage from all as his thick braided hair rested on his shoulders and back.

"Warmaster Rapuung!" A young warrior said rushing in, "an ship has crashed on the surface. Markings say it is Mandalorian jeedai slayers."

The huge Yuuzhan Vong wiped his head around and turned to face the younger Warrior.

"Bring me their corpses." Shimmra said in the guttural vong language, "wait." He turned to the shapers, "is the first litter ready?"

"Yes Warmaster. 6 adukts and the queen is in perfect health." The head shaper answered.

"Take a task force with Beast Master Lah. Test out our new Voxxyn. Also scramble a Corral Skipper squadron while I prepare to cut off their path. Let nothing leave they must not find out our plans."

"Yes Warmaster." The warrior replied before rushing to obey.


.........

The sounds of the coral skippers would soon be heard in the skys as the Vong in exile began hunting the Madalorians, and soon the sounds of howling Voxxyn would be noticed by some, but the worst were yet to come.

 

[Not Ordo]

The platoon of vong with the Voxxyn Beastmaster at its head began hunting for the Mandalorians. Thudbugs and Amphistaffs at the ready as the watched the predatory beast sniff the air and begin to get violently excited. There were Force Users among the Mandalorians it seemed.

"Yes, yes my pets today you will dine on the flesh of jeedai." Lah said letting the first two off their tethers.

 

[Nolan Detta]

Nolan confirmed the order by Strider. he booked it for his allies as a shot rang out, dropping one of his pursuers like a rock. He began to pick up noise chatter off in the distance. He looked to the North, and could make out some small craft coming towards him and his vod.

Incoming fighters!! Scatter!!

Nolan went for his L3 River rifle, and made for the crashed shuttle. Sliding to a stop, the creatures who had been following him, turned towards the incoming ships and ran for cover.

[Strider Garon]

"Fighter's incoming!!!" Strider relayed the warning to the rest of the survivors aboard the shuttle as Nolan slid to a stop beside him, his rifle at the ready as if he could take on a flight of skippers with just his rifle. The was a reason he loved these Detta boys, loyal to the last breath and bunch of die hards. "Brace for ordinance impact!"

Didn't matter if they hid, the incoming pilots would pick up life signs and relay that information to what ever force was coming to clean up. So Strider decided to give the incoming coral skippers something to play with as he stepped forward, kneeling down and arching his shoulders towards their advance. His HUD targeting system locked onto the lead skip and with out hesitation Strider would let loose his jet pack rocket. If said ordinance hit its target or not it would remind the Vong that they were frakking with Mandalorians.

The moment the rocket was let off, Strider would turn about and head back into the Ship. It would provide temporary protection against the onslaught that was to come as they prepared a course of action.

[Darth Banshee]

Darth Banshee got herself behind the incoming vong, she was prepping herself to assist the mandalorians. Once they had gotten between her and them, she would attack using force bellows. It still hurt them, as once it had left her body it becomes a sonic weapon. They had ears to hear it, and then bleed from. They would be in the way, so the mandalorians would not be effected by it.

So she waited for them to pass, as the last of them did. She dropped her cloak, and took breath and let it out FFFFFFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

 

[Lina Ovmar]

Mia grinned "This is the best diplomatic trip I've been on. Plenty of adventure, beats sitting round listening to people talk about policies." She let the beam drop as KAbur pulled herself free. The commlink in her ear exploded in chatter as the shout of incoming fighters reached them.

"Cover!" she tugged Siobhan and Kabur back into the wreckage as the skippers shot overhead, firing nothing but simply scouting she caught site of a rocket's trail and watched it swallowed by dovin basals. Peering from the wreckage Mia watched them go. "Well, at least we know who shot us down. Come on."

She led the way back out of the wreck and set a jogging pace back towards the cockpit so they could regroup with the others. "Strider!" she called as they reached the top "Din'kartay?"

@Everyone

 

[Siobhan Kerrigan]

[member="Mia Monroe"]


"I don't know. I had a very fun 'diplomatic trip' to Hapes not so long ago. The negotiation process was...very stimulating," Siobhan said brightly. Those aristos had driven a hard bargain, but she had had convincing arguments on her side. Oh, and they had taken a fancy to her legs as well.


However, any further elaboration was cut short when suddenly fighters roared overhead, Mia tugging her into cover as the craft shot across the wreckage that had been their ship. Siobhan felt an urge to leap into the air and pull them down. Partly because she was terribly annoyed about being shot down in the first place, partly because she liked to show off. But then they were already gone and she emerged behind Mia.



"Least we'll have targets soon to shoot at," she muttered as she quickly jogged after Mia of the Magnificient Beskar Bones. The prospect of an imminent attack that would promise a good deal of mayhem was doing its part to improve her mood.

 

[Strider Garon]

The beautiful warrioress [member="Mia Monroe"] had made her way into the cockpit and with out hesitation was right at work, or one could say right at home amongst the chaos and mahem of such situations. Its what made her an amazing leader, and a one time Mand'alor. Some people were trained for this and some were just born for it.

"One; the locals are hostile." He began the sitrep pointing to the vong ships that had flew past "Two; We have no holocoms to send out SOS and Three; We are bogged down in search and rescue for vode using up time we don't have. Which brings me to four; It won't be long before the vong are on us with their own 'rescue' party"

Hard decisions will have to be made, that didn't need to be relayed out in the open to those around them just yet. The standing Mandalorians didn't need to know that there was a good chance they would have to abandon their brothers and sisters behind that were trapped if the rest of them were to survive. The alternative was to make a last stand and go out in a blaze of glory and those trapped still ended up dead but just with more company to join them in the afterlife.

[Adenn Gra'tua]

"Fighters!?" Adenn yelled, shocked "Osik!" he hissed, pulling out his DMR and aiming it at one of the fighters, before a rocket was sent at one of them, stopping the bounty hunter from firing for a moment, only a moment though. Bullets were sent at the fighters, only a moment was wasted after each shot to regain aim on the center of the ship he was aiming at, the whole time he was strafing to find cover, which he found as part of the wreckage. Taking cover only to reload Adenn yelled over the comms "Anyone know if we have any anti air weapons?"

Mia cursed, mind racing as she looked at who she had. "Alright, Cabor go see what you can find to pull together some form of communication off planet, even if its just a beacon, get me something to send an SOS home. Detta, go with her and see what supplies you can find, med kits, rations, whatever. You have ten minutes, go!" She turned back to Strider and the others "This ship is a death trap, we need a better place to hold out ground till we can get help."

The distinct hum of the skippers returning reverberated through her helmet. "Don't waste your ammo!" she shouted through the comms as the sound of fire echoed around her "Dovin basals on those things will just swallow it. All units regroup." Taking a step out of cover she watched them pass over head then looked back at Siobhan.

"They're not aiming to kill us, which means we've got ground troops incoming. Legs, care to take a flight? See what options we have."

"You're really hot when you're being all bossy you know that, Mia," Siobhan said. Unfortunately for her, she would never be able to do than...admire Mia's beskar bones. "I'll do you one better. I'll raise some hell. One day I am taking you flying. It's nonnegotiable." There had to be at least one woman in her life who took her up on her offer!



She stumbled out of the wreckage of their craft as fighters roared overhead and rockets shot across the land, past the corpses of those Mandalorians who had not made it. The earth shook under the force of explosions and bodies were tossed through the air. The fighters probably just wanted to keep them suppressed and cowering while ground troops approached. Salvoes of laser fire streaked through the air as she made her way out, running fast past the smoking debris.



She took a deep breath as she let the Force flow through her, giving strength to her muscles and filling them with energy. Then as the fighters came swooping down for another strafing run she suddenly leapt into the air. Very, very high as she took off like an organic rocket ship and shot through the sky, just moments before the space she had vacated was riddled with a salvoe of red-hot bolts. She shot forth into high altitudes at tremendous speed that made it looked like she was moving in a blur, faster than the eye could follow.



One of the fighters locked her in its targeting computer and in a moment spat forth a rocket that shot towards her, promising death and disintegration. Then suddenly the rocket...stopped as if gripped by an invisible hand in a grip that refused to yield as she stretched out with her mind and suddenly...pushed back. The fighter craft sought to evade as the rocket came flying back but she seized its wings and in a flash the craft was struck and crashed down onto the ground, a fireball enveloping it.

 

[Nolan Detta]

On it [member="Mia"], he said nodding to the Mandalorian Goddess. Let's go Kara!!

Nolan looked to Cabor and took of for the last known positions of each of the other down ships. The first was a fighter that was tagged with [member="Adenn Gra'tua"] IFF. He would stay in pace with [member="Kara Cabor"] until they reached the location of the downed fighter.

Nolan kept an eye out for more skippers or ground troops in the off chance they were heading the direction the Vong were stationed. His L3 River Rifle up and at the ready as he ran.
