The Second Collapse

[Adenn Kyramud]

Adenn sighed to himself at the Premiers answer, then shook his head to himself and muttered Knew I, I knew it. Of course he has to go and play hero. However, not wanting to be stopped by that, Adenn straightened up and was right behind Harris when the door opened. Already they were being shot at, not only from the artillery but from ground troops. Sighing once more, unheard by all but himself, Adenn got to work.

He began his work by jumping in front of the Premier and taking 3 bolts meant for him. Turning to the Premier, with his armor now smoking from the blaster bolts, Adenn spoke.
"You see Premier. At least go and get some armor before you get yourself killed."

And with that, Adenn spun on his heal and stalked off. He hadn't walked more than 2 steps before he had already fired 3 bursts, each aimed for a different soldier hidden in buildings, windows and stands. Each burst hit the intended target while Adenn kept walking. Turning back to the Premier and his guard, he spoke up once more.
"If you insist on coming, then best keep up sir. Wouldn't want to be left behind. Now then, earn those drinks like you said. Oya."

After saying that, Adenn turned and jetpacked away without waiting for a reply. He jumped up towards the top of a building before glancing down towards the Premier. Again, he gave him a mock salute(Jack Sparrow style but with close fist and 2 fingers out). Then he turned and walked along the top of the buildings while shooting at other targets. At least I'll get my exercise in, thought Adenn to himself. He didn't consider these troops a challenge, in any way shape or form. So, sighing again, Adenn got back to earning his paycheck.

[Vampis Noros]

After hearing of what has begun on the surface from his scouts. Vampis was recoiled by the treachery of the locals. He thought to himself, while sending reinforcement request to the capital.
He turned to the crew, and immediately ordered them to cut all communications on the planet.

"This is a very sticky situation, we must not let the public know of this war taking place. If foreign powers heard of what is happening right now we will be declared warmongers. This is a stage four emergency, the emperor is on that planet. Our top priority is to contain the conflict. And see that officials are evacuated off of the planet."

After giving this speech he turned to face the communication manager.

"I need an immediate line with the admiral controlling the nearest fleet. You are to issue him a request of blockading the planet, there is a chance they have allies in the process of sending troops. They are also responsible for sending in air support to protect my shuttle. I am to suit up. And enter begin the extraction, after my probes have fully scanned the situation... WHERE IS REXUS!!!"

Vampis storms towards the armory, his footsteps load against the conversing agents, and wheezing of the computers.

"A fighter, a real strong fighter, should always look dignified and calm, and I believe that any expression of aggression is an expression of weakness. A strong person will ​

not be nervous and will not express aggression towards his opponent. He will be confident in his abilities and his training; then he will face the fight calm and balanced." ​

The disrespect from [member="Adenn Kyramud"] was blatant and would be dealt with later, Harris had to keep his cool for the time being. He wasn't another weak bureaucrat with no experience, and no offense to the new Emperor, but he wasn't raised in a castle either. Harris earned title of the Chiloon Rift through combat, and he had lead his troops to destroy armies from the front. He looked up from a momentary trances and drew his blaster, a man was charging him swinging a blade uncontrollably and Harris fired two bolts, one in the shoulder and one in the face before quickly activating his blasted and cutting him down, the saber deactivated and he kicked the corpse down. He charge forwards ahead of the men screaming, groups of men followed as they poured from the APC's. The troops clashed with the Tantorian soldiers.

"Take that city!" Harris motioned his blaster forwards before turning back towards the conflict.

Harris shot a soldier dead before turning and cutting another one. Two men charged him from his right and he force pulled them towards him and lunged out of the way, cutting them both in two. He and the first division were slaughtering the Tantorian army. An enemy AT-AV, marked with the small globe of Tantorous and a green stripe, turned and unleased a heavy reign of fire and it came over the hill from the attacking enemy. Harris, using the force, mounted a leg and began climbing up the vehicle. Two Fel APC's quickly rolled over and blew another one to hell with their cannons, while their mounted DLT-19's annihilated ground forces. Harris mounted the rear of the massive pod and sliced through the rear with his lightsaber. As he broke through, there was a volley of fire from the passengers in their silver trooper armor. Harris began deflecting rounds and cutting engaging troops down. He seen the pilots door slowly start to close and threw a thermal detonator with his free hand into the room. He cut down one more soldier before turning and leaping from the small rear hole. He hit the ground hard and skid in the dirt a bit. There was some blood on his hands from when he slowed the fall. He slowly stood up and shot a charging soldier down before turning and seeing an explosion that tore apart the armor in the AT-AV cockpit. He watched as the whole vehicle froze before collapsing forwards and falling on advancing Tantorian troops. He smirked and charged another soldier.

 

[Adenn Kyramud]

Walking along the edge of the rooftop, Adenn was bored. Sure, every so often he had to shoot some pesky soldier or another, but that was hardly the action that Adenn craved. He wanted an actual fight, where the enemy was good and could fight back. This here, what Adenn was doing, it was a walk in the park for a warrior of his skill. That’s why he was on the look out for anything, absolutely anything, that could give him a challenge.
That challenge eventually appeared, in the form of several AT-AVs. They loomed ominously, standing over the buildings, turning their heads to fire at Fel Empire troops. Adenn simply couldn’t allow this to happen, but then an explosion distracted him. It came from the direction of Harris. Worried as to what he’d find, Adenn turned around and watched in surprise at the Premiers actions. Then a grin spread across Adenns face. So, perhaps the Premier wasn’t as entitled as he thought; that was followed by, now Adenn would have to go and prove himself again.

Turning away from the Premier attacking the enemy, Adenn considered the enemies in front of him. There were 5 AT-AVs near each other, and several others farther away. Adenn couldn’t deal with them all, but he sure could take down the 5 near him. So, with that in mind, Adenn turned towards the nearest AT-AV and charged. None of the AT-AVs noticed him at first, until it was too late. The one he was charging towards turned to him, as well as the nearest one. They both turned to fire at him, and did so at the same time.

When they fired, Adenn used his jetpack to jump straight up, over the laser blasts. Climbing up, Adenn looked down to the two AT-AVs. They were both smoking from massive holes in their cockpits. In their haste to kill him, they hadn’t considered who was behind the target. They paid the consequences for that; in the form of their deaths. Confirming they were both dead, Adenn grinned and dropped back down to the rooftops and looked around for the other 3 AT-AVs. They had all taken notice of his actions, and turned to deal with him.

Making sure not to hit each other, the 3 AT-AVs began to fire upon Adenn. He however, was ready for that and using his jetpack, quickly made his way towards the nearest AT-AV. It kept firing at him, several of the blasts hitting the air right next to Adenn, slightly knocking him to the side each time. It wasn’t enough though, and eventually Adenn reached the AT-AV. Instantly, the other 2 stopped firing, not wanting to hit their comrade. They started moving towards them, while keeping their guns trained on Adenn.

At that, Adenn smiled to himself, the 2 AT-AVs were still focused solely on him, and not what was going on around them. Thus, when a several rockets flew towards the right AT-AV, it couldn’t do anything but take it. When the rocket hit, it broke something within the machine because it started to totter, before like a dying beast, slowly fell onto its side. The destruction of its comrade shook the left AT-AV started turning to try and deal with the troops. Adenn took that moment to act.

His act was to grab his lightsaber and cut a hole into the front panel of the cockpit. It was big enough for a grenade to squeeze through; so Adenn squeezed a grenade through before jumping off just as the AT-AV detonated. The final AT-AV in this little fiver group was now split, the pilots not knowing who to attack first. The man who had single handedly taken down 3 AT-AVs, or the other troops. A short moment later, the pilots had made up their mind; that decision would cost them dearly.

The final AT-AV turned towards Adenn, intent on avenges its fallen comrades. That was their undoing, in the confusion of what to do, several men of Adenns had gotten rocket launchers ready; and the moment that the AT-AV turned towards Adenn, the rockets shot towards it. Within moments, before it could even fire, the rockets collided with it. The AT-AV blew up in a wonderful explosion.


Adenn smiled to himself, then giving a wave of acknowledgement to the men who had helped him, Adenn set off back to work. He was going to go and kill as many of this enemy as he could. The AT-AVs were only the start.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Within a few minutes, rumors would circulate both sides of the battlefield. These rumors had started from Adenns men, who wanted to brag about their commander to the rest of the troops. At first, they said it truthfully, but as with all rumors, the farther from the source they get, the wilder they become. Eventually the rumor grew, and people started to talk. They spoke of a Mandalorian man who had single handedly bested 10 AT-AVs. The rumor was horribly skewed, but it had spread by now, too far to stop. Frankly, Adenn and his men didn’t want to stop it. It inspired fear into the enemies of the Fel Empire.

[Kalic Daws]

Above the battlefield, Kalic continued to duke it out with the enemy fighters. He continued to fire, trying to keep himself and Jee alive as they flew into the furball that had formed. The Starcrest weaved and turned as sharp as any TIE could. The fighter's roar and scream combined into a unique sound. The pilot splashed one, then another. Good thing these guys weren't the best pilots. He then looked down at the ground, seeing some AT-AVs. Kalic looked back to Jee, arcing the fighter down.

"Prep the torpedoes, Jee!" The whistle came through his headset, getting a smiled from the pilot. The Miraluka quickly aimed at a few of the walkers, firing a barrage of torpedoes at the line, and sending three to their destruction. Kalic yelled into the comms as he pulled out from the attack run, watching the walkers fall. He smiled, turning back to strafe the enemy troops.

[Rocho]

Rocho didn't have to dawn his armor when the call for a landing party with Vampis Noros came. Force pike on his back, Tempest in hand, DBS-1 at his side, Shield gauntlet attached to his armor, and looking as he should, ready to go to war. His steps were quiet and swift as he prepared for landing.

He tapped the Tempest with his fingers, today was a day of death. A perfect day to obtain more Jagannath points, though, it was no longer a mere hunt. This was war, two years he'd spent in the military by now. And years more of bounty and big game/wild animal hunting.

"All I need to know is what to do. Who to kill, who not to kill, who to stop from getting killed." He said simply, "I'm ready to get started."

Truthfully he was a lot more excited then it might have appeared, though the slight grin might have been somewhat of an indicator if someone was able to notice it. Let's go! I've got me some points to obtain. Just a rebellion though, probably no big points to gain here. Let's just hope it gets interesting sooner rather then later.

Harris quickly cut down two advancing troops before there was a volley of gunfire from his troops. He watched as a few of the last Tantorian troops were shot down in thier place. He smirked as the gunfire slowed before stopping all together. There was a group of Tantorians with their hands on their heads marching in a line away from the front. Harris spotted [member="General Vickers"] talking to a group of troops. He approached and saluted, Vickers returned. Harris wiped the dirt and blood from his face with his sleeve and then began.

"What exactly happened? You were sent to occupy this city and then all of a sudden you were on the defense."

 

[TK-7475 (Storm Sentinal)]

Vickers returned Harris' salute. He looked uncomfortable.

"Well sir, the honest truth is that we were ambushed. We were pushed back and had no way to defend until our walkers showed up. We weren't outnumbered by any means, but they rapidly attacked and were everywhere." Vickers shook his head, "We'll give them Hell... I now see how they play, and it's not nice."
