Location - Space Above An Icy Planet

On board an expensive and fancy ship, Oka Osaa stood guard in armor and a full mask. The Nova Outbound fleet crew commanded and flew the ship for the safety of the important people aboard.

Oka stood guard in the main room of the ship. His job was to keep everyone safe and well. Lucky for him, he was the head guard and his fellow crew was on board. The ship was a beauty and it sure felt nice being on board. After checking everything for safety reasons, Oka made his way to the bridge.

Once he entered the bridge, he followed up with a question for Admiral Cross. "Admiral, is everything okay here? Doing the safety routine." He stated.

"Yeah. The only thing I don't trust is the pilot... But that might just be because it's not me or Ogen. And it's also not a ship I bought or inspected myself. That doesn't help."

I looked around.

"Bloody nouveau riche... It's why the rest of us can't have nice things. So much gold and precious metals just sitting around here. If we weren't getting paid so much, I wouldn't have accepted this job."

"Okay Admiral, I'll be reporting back in one hour." Oka said as he left the bridge to go back into the royal room for guarding.

It was at that moment that Soulfire strode into the room, and looked around. A tall menacing figure, white robed, with armor of a silver color beneath them. Across his chest were six slugthrower pistols and at his side a trusty vibrosword, and hidden lightsaber. Soulfire did not broadcast the fact that he was a force user, he liked to save that for special situations, when the odds were against him.

Shock and surprise were his tools.

"Afternoon gentlemen." He uttered cooly as he crossed the room.

"Looks like there might be trouble up ahead. I've been round these parts, and this is a terriotry Reavers like to stake out."

No sooner than he had spoken the word than he felt it. An odd signature in the force, a black pit of void. They were close by!

This job wasn't the best in the galaxy but he certainly did enjoy this new cloak and armor. Where Oka came from, armor was hidden and robes were worn. He entered the room with all the people in there having conversations. It was safe, nothing bad was happening for once. The ice planet nearby looked chaotic and not a good idea to enter. Oka was glad he was in such luxury of a ship. Walking over to the entrance, he stood guard.

 

[Cross Ikon]

"Reavers you say, Captain Ticon? They sound like fun. Or they would if we were flying a bigger ship than this glitzy little floating pram. Pilot, turn sensor dampening on if you have it. Never hurts for them not to know what size ship you're flying...."

Soulfire raised an eyebrow at the crazed admiral.

"There wont be much fun if they catch us. Do you know what Reavers do?"

The darkness wasmoving closer. In his mind he could here the tormented screams of the dead, ghost like souls still wandering the halls of desecrated ships. The thought sent a chill up Soulfire spine, which was no easy task, considering the amount of chaos he had dealt with before.

 

[Cross Ikon]

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but they're the souls of the dead, who come onto ships and possess the crews, right? The 'Pirate's Nightmare'? Or are they those half-dead diseased people who come and eat the crews? I don't remember exactly."

I looked over at the former pirate captain. The poor guy was shivering. What the hell were these Reavers? And even if they were what I had described, what had this man experienced?

"They eat the crews....alive."

And it was at that moment that proximity alarms blared across the bridge, and red strobes flashed a paniced pattern. Soulfire looked up at the lights and let a grin split his face. There was about to be blood, and blodd was good.

The pirate captain wheeled to face the Admiral, Vibro cutlass coming free from its sheath and hanging at the low guard to his right.

"Looks like our countermeasures failed, they're here."

And in the force millions of damned souls cried out. Dark tendrils of energy reached out for soulfires own but he resisted it, using the darkside to bat them away. A familiar rage began to build within as he gathered power for the coming battle.

 

[Cross Ikon]

"Oh, oh... Some undead bitches are gonna get themselves destroyed."

I cocked all my weapons, and drew a light rapier that was concealed in my sleeve.

"This is going to be fascinating."

The next few minutes were quiet until alarms went off. Oka walked up to a higher ground to talk.

"All aboard the ship, we have entered defense mode because of an attack of a sort. If you stay calm we can deal with the issue. I'll report back with some more info, please be careful but have fun. Thank you."

Oka had no idea what it was. But he was ready, he started heading towards the bridge but keeping some guards back at the main room.

"Indeed."

No sooner had the words left his mouth then he could feel them. Disgusting slobbering souls, intent on destruction. The screams of the Revaers penetrated the ship. They had come in quickly, smashing every bulkhead and flowing through like a blac water. They gathered in the halls like a black rolling tide of death. Bone necklaces and deadly blades jingling as the cursed cannibals moved donw the length of the ship.

Soulfire knew they could not simply defend. They must attack and force them back or risk an overwhelming horde crashing the bridge.

"We have to move and cutt them off,keep them occupied. Follow me!"

He ran out of the bridge full tilt towards the nearest arilock and it was not long before he stumbled upon the first raiding party. The white robed pirate halted and crouched low. Blood and drools splattered the floor from the maws of several of the cannablistic terrors. Ghoulish looking fiends, mutated from too much flesh.

For a second they stared into each others eyes. Soulfire felt the deep evil of the Reaver he was looking at pierce his soul. And then he roared, a bloody gruesome sound, and charged. With force asistacne he was up the bulkhead across the wall and ran across the ceiling, upside down. As he ran the yellow saber of the blazing chains sprag to life in his left hand, vibro blade humming in his right, and he waited for the oppurtune moment to drop and strike.

 

[Cross Ikon]

With these crazed... I-don't-even-know-whats attacking me, I decided that a few dirty tricks were appropriate. I strapped on my pusher gauntlets, and cocked my flamethrower.

"Burn, baby, burn!"

The two nearest Reavers fell in agony while fire spread over them. Another one came too close to a control panel, so I shot the push gauntlet at him. He went flying a couple meters before crashing to the floor and groaning.

"Three down, who knows how many more to go...."

Oka was trying to make it to the bridge but he couldn't. About 20 ... some things were attacking his guards. He learned in the past that the force fights off stuff better than a light saber. Oka ran at the things and charged force or drew force. Once he charged up, he force pushed the whole group. That wasn't enough, they still could walk. They needed one more blow, he leaped up, charging down ready to blow them away. Oka hit the floor pushing the things apart as they disappeared.

"Our revels now are ended, Reavers."

I opened up with the 'Vorpal' in my right hand, and the push gauntlet and flamethrower on my left. A couple of the monsters went flying, burning all over. One was shot three times through the head, and collapsed. Another hit a wall with an ugly crack.

"These things have bones?!"

As the carnage raged Soulfire found his opening and let go of the ceiling force grip. He dropped on the other end of the Reavers,now sandwiching them between Ikon and himself. They turned and growled, trying to run from the flame but the Pirate captain stood fast.

First the vibrosword came across, shearing the limbs of the beasts and then the saber, whirling in a dance of yellow fire. He pressed in doging a side swipe from a poisioned blade. Another reaver swung at his head and he ducked, reaching with the force and grasping his neck. The force choke landed perfectly and the rotten fleshed little devil screeched his last screech, eyes bulging as his windpipe crushed.

Another tried to grab him from the arms, but soulfire was too quick. With a snarl he whrirled in place and delivered a devastating force kick into it's face, crushing it in under his armored boot.

They were beggining to thin now which was a sure sign they would run. Reavers didnt hunt in small numbers.

"Press in, Kill the last of them!"

 

[Oka Osaa]

Oka began running towards the bridge again but stopped at the sight of Ticon choking a pirate captain... dead, and he saw Admiral Cross.

"Glad you got this handled guys. Cross, was that really necessary?" he asked chuckling.

[member="Cross Ikon"] [member="Soulfire Ticon"]

 

[Cross Ikon]

"Oh, spectacle is always necessary. Even in battle. Especially in battle. A great leader uses illusion and misdirection to defeat forces that are more than ten times theirs. Also, throwing things around without touching them is so cool. I should hug that Jawa."

I grinned at the former pirate and the rogue Knight in front of me.

"And your dear drunken admiral is the greatest showman of them all."

There was little time to waste as the Reavers were hunting elsewhere on the ship. soulfire closed his eyes for a moment, falling into the force to discern where the current was most garbled. Within a few second he opened his eyes.

With a devastating glare he adressed the Admiral.

"They're headed for engineering. We have to go now, or we'll be vented into space. Reavers may be savages but they are not fools."

Soulfire emphasized his point by plunging his saber into the floor and cutting a circular tube, so as to expedite their trip to the engineering room. As the metal smouldered he grimaced, acrid smoke thrusting it's way in to his nostrils. The cut was complete and he slammed a boot down upon the floor, sending the piece rattling to the decks below.

No apology was offered to the admiral, simply a nod, and then he disappeared down the hole...

 

[Cross Ikon]

I shrugged. It wasn't my ship, and I jumped down the hole, landing on my feet in the engineering room. I checked that all my weapons had full ammunition, and then I relaxed slightly.

"Alright, how long do we have before the Reavers get down here? They're going through the hallways, right?"
