Part II

"Sir, the attacking ship has dropped off scopes, the other ship is still there but hasn't done anything," the tactical officer said

"Bring the other ship in," Doyle said, rubbing his temple from the headache that was turning into a migraine

(read last post--I'm in the hanger)

Vex opened the hanger doors, and quickly ran out, pointing his gun left and right. Coast clear. "So far so good", he thought. "Now where are my friends"?

He found a console, and tapped away, trying to find the location of his friends. An error popped up: PRISONER ESCAPED: LOCATION SCATTERED.

I flipped through the names or the prisoners, Van Toran, James...Then a red alert popped up "ALERT! PRISONERS LOOSE! LOCATION: CELL BLOCKS"

Vex raised his new (from Zunari) Electric Rifle and headed toward the Blocks.

Doyle was sitting in his command chair when he noticed a lieutenant looking oddly at a console. Taking a deep breath, Doyle piped up

"What is it Lieutenant?"

"Sir, I, I dunno. It's nothing sir" the lieutenant stammered, "no, wait. A console in the hanger bay became active for a moment, from the damaged hanger bay, probably just a glitch"

Doyle closed his eyes
"Sound intruder alert, post Marines at all main access points, HAS ANYONE FOUND THOSE DAMNED PRISONERS YET?!?!" Doyle lost his temper

----------------------------5 minutes
later------------------------------------

Vex was en route to the Cell Blocks when he heard shouts.

A faint, "DAMNED PRISONERS" was heard.......

Vex checked the door, it was the command center.

"UH-Oh", he uttered, and quickly dodged behind a bulkhead. He pulled out his pistol with his left hand, and armed his rifle with his right.
He was going to make a stand.....if anyone came out.

Two marines came up the hall on order to guard Command from the intruder.

Doyle sat in his chair, getting frustrated

Bayhes ran into a room in his search for James. He skidded to a halt in front of a screen.
"Bayhes, I thought I told you to leave this ship."
"I though you said there would be no guards, I couldn't count how many were at the blocks before I added the medics to the pile!"
"You weren't supposed to return.And those gaurds were the normal ones assigned to that block, I stated that no reinforcment ones would arrive. They didn't."
"That isn't true, someone shot Toren. I was hoping for that honor!"
"Yes, It appears someone has. Doyle was always a little unpredictable. In the meantime, since you want James, I'll tell you were he is. He is in the maximum security cells, regretting his rash actions. A fair punishment I say"
"I have to get him out, he's the Nightcrawlers engineer."
"I thought you would say that. Go to the Cell now. The guards have been "Dispatched" and other guards have been moved out of your way for now. Let this be the last time you deny leaving. Next time I wont help you."
Bayhes started to talk but decided agianst it. Instead he headed for the Cell. On arrival, he found Gamma was once again correct. The guards were slumped against the walls, dead or alive Bayhes couldn't tell nor did he care. He opened the cell door and helped James out. Together they proceeded back to the hanger.
"Alright, we got James, Lets get out of this bloody ship already."

( i thought i was put back in the cell, oh well i will go with it, one of you said i was escaped, i forget who)

James was walking around the cell blocks with a dead guards rifle, he shot 2 guards standing at the cell block entrence, he walked through a few halls and ended up in the docking bay, there were a few fighters, but no ships, "Hmm wrong landing bay" i said to myself, then i got into a fighter and started out of the ship, i kept close to the weapons turrents, so they would keep shooting each other, then i found the location of the other landing bay and landed in it, i got out of my fighter and said "Did i miss anything" while i was walking over to the ship.

Jaquelyn swore loudly, and went back to Van Toren's body and picked it up, running to the med bay, shooting at anything she perceived hostile. She had a few things in mind, and she wasn't going to let the enemy have the body.

Doyle got up from his chair

"Get me high command" he demanded

I kept dreaming. in and out. Visions of reality, medicine, machines, emotion. everything in a lifetime... A very long lifetime.

The ship came out of ftl. Vaio walked in. "Hello, how have you slept? Its time to get up and meet your owner. After all these years I've been waiting to cash in on your life. Get up, Severus is waiting." He proceeded to drag me to a transport where we move to the surface if the planet. We landed in Serverus'es capital. Vaio made the trade on my life directly to Severus and i had no idea what was going to happen next but what i did know is that i still couldn't move or do anything about it.
Over what seemed like an eternity in seconds Severus brain wased me. Erased my memory and made me his personal guard. I became accustomed to it never questioning my orders.

(sorry i haven't posted in a while.)

(Darkwing, my ship is about 3/4as powerful as yours. It should do some damage!)
(And there's the laser beam.)
(Has everyone forgotten my ship?)

no, your ship is the one not doing anything. and I don't think you guys have sense of how big this ship is so imagine like a super star destroyer, that's how big this thing is. It's a massive capital ship. I'll just make stats so you better understand, but I highly doubt your ship is 3/4 as powerful as mine, at best I'd say 1/4)

(Friendly warning to all who keep making their characters overpowered - Remember what happened to Meganew Trek. If you can't, he was perma banned)

Back at the Nightcrawler, everyone was standing by to leave.
"Right, that everyone? Can we finally go while this ship is being distracted?"
Bayhes didn't wait for an answer, instead jumping into the captains seat.
"Borrego, your the pilot, right? Get us out of here, I don't want to have to stay any longer."

"Powering up the engines..." Started I... "And lifting..."

I took the Nightcrawler out of that hangar bay... We could see the light damage that was made all over the hull... A few broken decks... But, for the size of that thing...

"I'm taking their blind sensor spot to evade them... Lets hope they don't miss us..."

oh I forgot, we brought your ship into the Scarlet Fire

lol....


"Everyone, get in the ship, dont leave yet, i have an idea, that fighter, if i self destruct it it will do massive damage to the hull, then we can go" i said as i started to the fighter

"No...!" Said I while locking the hangar bay door from my seat... James barred right into it... "We have the deck open, and the blind spot is large enough to run and power our ftl... no such need for that..."

"For once, I agree with not blowing something up. Get us out of here, and take us too... Cross, where were they?"
"Outpost Savanna"
"Yeah, take us to that place. Coordinates should already be on the ship database."
Something dropped from the ceiling to the floor. Once again, Cross noticed it, but as soon as he tried to take any action, he forgot he had seen it.

"There... FTL is powering up at maximum efficiency... ETA: 2 minutos..." Said I... "lets hope they don't change course..."

Doyle closed off the command section of control as the image of Severus appeared on a viewscreen. Doyle nodded his head slowly in respect of Severus

"Severus, I need to inform you of certain events that have arisen," Doyle started, "We detained Van Toren, Bayhes and a few other non-essentials. They appeared to have a planned escape as two ships appeared and attacked. One ship has disappeared, the other we're holding under tight security. The prisoners have escaped, except I have killed Van Toren as you requested. The others have no doubt escaped from our blind spot as that is where we stored and repaired the Nightcrawler. Now what do you wish?"

Severus looked thoughtful
"Let things play out. Van Toren was insignificant, he always was. It is Bayhes I want you to follow and follow closely!"

Doyle nodded as the comm channel faded. Doyle opened the secure room and stepped back into Control.
"set us back to condition green, I will be in the hanger bay" Doyle turned and headed for the hanger bay where the ship had been pulled in. It was time to find out who this new comer was

The Nightcrawler arrived over a desert planet... Our new friend had gave us it's coordinates... From what the things have been rolling out since we arrived there, it was a rebel military outpost... Unlike in "Rachel's Planet", like I liked to call it (I didn't knew it's name, and no one seemed too...), that was a civilian outpost...

"Control, this is Nightcrawler" Started I... "We arrived to the marked waypoint..."

"Control, this is Nightcrawler" Started I... "We arrived to the marked waypoint..."

"Good... We're now sending you the landing pad coordinates and you landing angle..." Said the Controler...

"Received it, thank you..."

"You're welcome... Savanna Control, out..."

The ship started to dive smothly in the atmosphere of Savanna...

The Nightcrawler touched down. Bayhes left the ship and encountered a group of soldiers.
"Welcome to Outpost Savanna. Please come this way, we need to search you and your crew before allowing entrance to the outpost."
The soldiers searched Bayhes and removed his weapon. they then allowed him through to the outpost as more soldiers searched the other people onboard the Nightcrawler. After walking a little while, Bayhes reched a road blockade.
"Sorry sir, you aren't allowed to proceed in this direction."
"What? Why?"
"Savanna HQ is under quarantine, no one is allowed in."
"But I need to speak to whoever is in charge here. I have urgent information regarding the New Order."
"Sorry sir, but the base is off limits to everyone."
"Then call your base CO out here!"
"I'm afraid that is not possible. No one is allowed in or out of the base, including you Bayhes. We have shoot to kill orders, please don't make us use them."
"But I have to speak to your CO!"
"Sir..believe me when I say the last thing you want to do is enter the area. This is a BNC quarantine. We don't even know what exactly has happened here, or if anyone is even alive in there. If you really want to risk it..go ahead. But we will not allow you to exit. You will be shot on sight."
Bayhes looked past the soldier, into the quarantined area. He couldn't see anything out of the ordinary, the base looked in perfect condition apart for the absense of any guards. He returned to the Nightcrawler and reported his findings.
"The bottom line is..despite what that guy said, I have to get in there. You too Cross. You guys can help, but don't follow us in unless you are prepared to face the fact you might not be coming out gain."

"I will stay here...Someone needs to guard the ship and keep her ready to fly in case of problems... Although we're pretty protected in here..." Said I...

"Yeah, for start you're only 16 years old and our only pilot, so... it's better you stay here..." Said Bayhes...

Vex Valkyrie waited. No one came out of the command center. He was going in for an asssault. Hopefully, he could kill their leader or at least wound him so that he would be unfit for battle.

He checked his backpack for anything usefull, and found 5 small red balls, marked with explosive tags. He took them in his left hand, and opened the door really quietly, and tossed the 5 explosives in different directions. He slammed the door, and he could hear explosion sounds.

He burst in the door, electrical rifle in one hand, pistol in the other. He immediately spotted the Commander (who was talking to a person), and aimed for the head.

As he was about to shoot, he felt something from behind--someone had shot him on his arm. The force almost knocked him over, but he managed a duo (2) of bullets from each gun (making 5 total) at the commanders LEGS, hopefully rendering him incapable of walking.

As he saw other officers pulling weapons out, he shot in all directions, hoping to get some people, he spiinned around, and shot the people behind him.

The he felt some more excruciating pain on his hip, and collapsed to the ground. He quickly looked around and saw a person (Lieutenant) holding a pistol. He also saw some people woudned, from his shots,

He pulled himself up with all his might, heard 3 gun shots behind him, and burst through the door.

His last thought was," My friends are going to owe me so much", before he fell unconcious--unsure of whether bullet or fever caused it.

warning one for not reading my post

Vex Valkyrie waited. He had heard two marines stand gaurd, and wanted to capture a moment to fire at them.

One said, "You know this job is getting really boring. All we do is.....flip switches and gaurd."

The other responded, "Yea. Even the Admiral left to go to the hanger."

Vex listened closely.

The first said, "Yea, you wanna just leave this shut down center, and go brab lunch or something.

The second said, "Yea sure. Wait don't head for those stairs (he pointed to the stairs behind Vex). It will take us in to a corridor connected to the hanger, and the Admiral won't be happy if he sees us."

Suddenly, Vex jumped out and shot both marines two times. He quickly took of his own clothes, switched them on of the marines, and set off toward the stairs. With luck, he would outrun the Admiral. That Zunari ship is precious.

Vex literally flew down the stairs, jumping down nearly 4 stairs at a time. He finally reached the hallway. He saw a door that read HANGER.

He checked
his backpack for anything usefull, and found 5 small red balls, marked
with explosive tags. He took them in his left hand, and opened the door
really quietly, and saw the Admiral just walk in another door. He tossed all 5 in that direction, and he saw them land on the floor next to him before he slammed the door.

He burst
in the door, electrical rifle in one hand, pistol in the other. He
immediately spotted the Commander, already getting up. But he could see some scraps from the explosions, and a wound on his right knee. He walked with a limp.

Vex Valkyrie, for the one millionth tinme in his life, took aim.

Doyle reflexes sharp as anything drew his pistol and ducked behind the ship (which is FF's ship by the way, not your one)
Doyle heard some gunfire hit the hull of the ship as he ducked around it. He peered out and shot back in the general direction

"Oh really? How do you think your new brother will look?" Was I talking in videoconference with Rachel... I almost forgot how beautiful she was...

"Hopefully like me!" Said she... "Well... only in hair and eyes, I hope..."

"Yeah... If he liked guys it would be weird..." We both started laughing...

"Really..." She said... "I miss you..."

"Yeah... me too..."

"So, how were you able of finding Internet access?"

"I'm in a military base that gave us refuge..."

"Where?"

"Can't tell you... I don't wanna be found that ease...

"Aww... And that necklace, I didn't saw you with it..." Said Rachel...

"It was from Toren... Jaquelyn gave it to me after he was shot inside a Order ship..." My face sadned... "Too bad... although I only knew him for a handfull of days, I started feeling like he was a father for me..."

"Oh... I'm sorry..."

"You don't have to apologize for anything... It's not your fault..."

"Dang it", Vex spat, as the Admiral dodged behind a ship. His eyes landed on his own ship, and an idea came to his mind.

He quickly entered it, and magnetized the hull, he turned the small vessel to face the other ship (FF's one), and fired at the aft section.

The hull tore away clean, leaving the Admiral with no where to hide......

I was finishing the repairs of the ship, mostly small calibrations like the guns and the pds system... That was mostly programing and simulating work, and not mechanical, so... I was in my area...

I was writting it in my own laptop... The same one were I talked to her an hour ago... It was nice to see her again... It gave me new strenght, for what was coming...

Ok... I think the PDS is now ready... lets test it...

Vex fired cannons at Admiral Dolye.

....*waiting for DW*....

I throwed a ball... A baseball... The guy on the other end stroke the ball with such force, that it flew over the ship... But the PDS system was on... And the ball was incinerated...

"Nice... This will end up handy!" Said I... "Thanks guys! I will just shut down the PDS and return!"

"Ok, boy... Be quick!"

"Well" Bayhes thought "So much for additional support.
"...." Cross thought.
Bayhes and Cross left the ship along with half of its armoury, Bayhes old combat armour and medical supplies.
They went to the barrier, and just like last time found the soldier standing there.
"So. I take it you want to go in? Well it's your call. Here, take this jeep. WE don't need it and if you somehow survive, your going to need it to get out again. Keep your eyes open, we sent in 20 men earlier, haven't heard from them since."
The gate behind the soldier rattle and began to open. Bayhes and Cross got on the jeep and drove through, as the gate slid back into place and locked. They drove to Savvana HQ, and stopped outside the main entrance. Everything about the place was wrong - No lights, no guards, and an eerie silence. Bayhes walked over to the door control panel. It was offline, and the screen cracked.
"Well, wasnt really expecting that to be on anyway."
He nodded to Cross, who planted exlosives on the door. They took cover behind the jeep as an ear spliting explosion coupled with the sound of pieces of debri rang out in the silence. Slowly and carefuly, they got up and proceeded to the entrance, weapons raised. The lights were off inside too. Derilect vehicles and machinery, damaged by the blast littered the main entrance. The final sounds of debri settling after the explosion dissapated, restoring the complete lack of sound that plagued the base.
"Damn it's quiet in here." remarked Cross as he turned on his nightvision and proceeded forwards towards the hallways at the other end of the tunnel.
"Yeah..it is. It's unnatural. Keep your guard up."
"Where exactly do we need to go anyway?"
"The control room. We need to find out where everyone is, especially their commander."
Bayhes moved ahead of Cross and walked slowly towards the stairwell.
"Don't use the lifts. I don't trust this place"

Mr.Borg wrote:"Dang it", Vex spat, as the Admiral dodged behind a ship. His eyes landed on his own ship, and an idea came to his mind.

He quickly entered it, and magnetized the hull, he turned the small vessel to face the other ship (FF's one), and fired at the aft section.

The hull tore away clean, leaving the Admiral with no where to hide......

(Did you just fired on my ship? It's Bigger than your fighter. )
(And Darkwing, my internet access is down so I had to use the school's computer. Sorry for late replies. It will take an hour for my ship to be destroyed by a normal sized capital ship [one fourth size]. So 25 minutes for you to destroy me. And I did fire all the time plus the laser cannon. And it takes 5 days to destroy you only because the ship is massive, I could easily knock out some of the systems.)
(My ship is called the Auriora. Please look into the Join the Game Section)
Tactical: Minimal Damage to the enemy.
Ensign: They are targetting us!
Ensign #2: Captain, another ship has appeared!
Tactical: Should I fire on the new order ship?
Me: Don't fire! That ship is way too powerful, but I have a plan.
---10 minutes later---
Tactical: Sir, we are being pulled in!
Me: Let them. They are making a big mistake...
---1 minute later---
Ensign: We are inside of the enemy ship.
Me: Get ready to...
Suddenly another ship nearby (The Excalibur) powered up and fired a blast of electricity.

(The Auriora used this tactic when they are engaging massive New Order Ships. Get pulled in, stun, fire and escape. Only this time it didn't go according to plan...)

Tactical: Aft Armour failing!
Me: Get us out of here!

The Auriora pulled out and fired an array of weapons including the laser beam before firing up the ion engine.
Ensign: Captain the Nightcrawler is gone, and I'm detecting an FTL signature entering at 103 mark 333.
Me: Pursuit course!

The Auriora entered FTL Space.

"Sir, they've entered."

"Good, let them come to us. We don't know if the guard are monitoring them."

(I think it's better I start making a new book of the game... Hopefully there will be less mistakes...)

The entire base was quiet... It was night here... I received a message asking:

"Do u hv a pc @ hand?"

"No... Not now..."

"Why? Wre r now?"

"I'm enjoying the sights... Don't worry, I will call you when I have one..."

"Ok... LY"

And returned to enjoy the nocturn desert sight... "Well... they might be starting to worry, so... Better return..."

FF, you're late so you can't back track. if things happen, they happen. and currently, your ship is in my hanger bay with its aft engine blown off. please follow the rp and don't be a meganew, cause the only place that gets you is banned

And we don't need a repeat of that.

Bayhes and Cross moved to outside the control room. they took up positions either side of the door. Bayhes signalled to Cross, who nodded, opened the door and went in, weapon raised and looking all over the room. It was cold, dark, and many monitors were offline. Those that were on showed a blank screen or the blue screen. Tables were overturned, equipment thrown around, and windows smashed behind the steel shutters. Bayhes moved to one of the few working monitors and activated the console it was attached to. A warning on the screen displayed the fact that the base had only backup power, and no inhabitants. Something caught his eye though. Most of the remaining power was being diverted to one floor above, in what should be the second armoury. He backed away from the monitor and signalled Cross to go upstairs.

For the first time in months, I had a diferent dream... It still had her, but in a diferent role...

I could see my self rising on what seamed to be a cerimony room... I started heading towards the people in the middle of the room, walking aside Rachel, having those a destacated position... I heard them asking:

"Do you, João Borrego, sworn to protect with your life, the Rebel Nation, against it's enemy?"

The dream then starts fading out, but I can see me saying some word, that I didn't understood...

I woke up with a boom... James had slipped on the floor...

"Yeah... that's something we have to fix..." Said I while getting up...

"I'm with you when we get to do that..." Said James... "Ouch!"

Bayhes approached the armoury. The blast door was open, but not normally. It had been breached in the centre. Metal had been twisted and bent outwards, leaving a large gap in the middle, almost as if something had forced it open. Bayhes looked at Cross, who merely shrugged. Bayhes ducked into the room slowly. It immediatly became apparent that something had broken in. Tables, filing cabinets and other objects had been overturned to face the door, as if it was a makeshift barricade. Like with the door, in the centre of the barricade it had been forced apart, this time going inwards. Bayhes walked through. On the other side he finally caught sight of someone. As he looked closer, he noticed that they were not moving. There were many others like this, what looked like most of the base guards and other staff, all slumped dead behind the makeshift barricade. They all had weapons, all empty. Shells littered the floor, with every step the room would ring with the sound of them being kicked aside. Bayhes heard Cross turn and face the door, but continued forwards. Directly ahead lie a small device. Like a metal plate, but with three spikes rising from the sides, all meeting in the middle, above the main base. Bayhes pressed the only button on it. Out of the middle, above the disk but beneath the spike appeared a hologram of a man.
It started to talk to Bayhes, even though it was a recording it seemed as if he was able to host a conversation with it. When it was done talking, He put the device in his backpack. He turned to Cross.
"Lets go. Theres nothing else for us here."
"But what about what happened here?"
"Bollocks to finding out what did this. I'd rather not meet it if it can tear open a blast door and kill everyone here. Grab your shit and lets go."

Doyle limped around to the front part of the ship, hiding. A pistol was no match for a ship's cannons. Doyle then had an idea. He pulled out a comm device

"Control, this is Doyle, send down five Marine squads to Hanger bay 3. In five seconds, discharge a massive EMP pulse to knock out all power and all life in this bay"

Doyle put the comm away and then braced himself. Suddenly, the EMP burst went through the hanger bay. Everything with power went out and everyone in the hanger bay went unconcious. A moment later, five marine squads burst in and took everyone out. Vex and (FF's Char) were taken to Maximum Security and Doyle was taken to Medical

Bayhes and Cross left the base went to their jeep. It was sagging down at the back for some reason, but they ignored it. They drove back to the barrier. On arrival they found a scene of chaos - The gate had been ripped away. Vehicles were on flaming wrecks, plumes of smoke were leaving buildings, bodies lay on the ground and shouts filled the air. Tehy got out of the jeep and proceeded on foot. The gate guards were all lying on the floor, civilians were running through the streets, dragging people with them. A loud klaxon alarm blared out over all the other sounds. They made their way back to the landing pad, but were stopped short by a group of soldiers running towards them.
"What the hell happened?" Yelled Cross at one of them
"No f-ing idea, people are dieing everywhere!"
Just then, a there was the sound of something falling through the air. Next second, a building behind them exploded, showering everyone with rubble.
"Holy shit!"
Bayhes and Cross left the soldiers as they made their way back to the Nightcrawler. On arrival, Bayhes found 4 extra people standing by the ship.
"Bayhes! Good to see you again! Found Cross then huh?" Yelled Praylyn
"Apparently. What are you guys doing- Never mind, get on" Said Bayhes as another explosion went off. The sound of metal bending and scraping filled the air as the control tower began to buckle.
"Borrego, get us out of here!"

"Wait, are you leaving?" Yelled Ioan Davies "Please, take me with you! I can help you!"

"Who are you? Nevermind, get on. We don't have anyone old on this ship yet." Bayhes helped Davies into the ship
"Welcome to the Nightcrawler. You are?"

"Closing bay door..." Said I... "Powering engines... We're lifting..."

As I went up vertically, a screen showed me a infrared picture of the planet... a dark spot in the middle of red and yellow, representing the flames that were thriving in the complex...

"Thank god this is a military base and not a civilian village, or they would have no chance..." Said Bayhes...

"Yeah... Whatever..." Said I... "I'm plotting a course to the three suns planet... I must do a few questions to it's governor, if you don't mind Bayhes..."

(Your answer ED)

Vex Valkyrie was dreaming.

A clawed, fanged monster with the head of Admiral Doyle. Suddenly the Monster burst into flames and felt something hit his shoulder.

He slowly came to conciousness, underneath his left shoulder was a small bone.

He jumped to his feet, and to his horror realized that there were a few bones on the floor.

He looked at his surroudings. He was in a dimly lit room, with no windwos looking outside--only a heavy door.

His hands were bound behind him with a tight rope, to the point where his hands already had blisters on them.

His first objective was to get his hands free-and it wasn't going to be easy.

"Go ahead. We have nowhere esle to go right now."
Bayhes turned to Praylyn
"What happened down there?"
"No idea. One minute everything was normal, and the next..All we could hear were alarms, weapons fire and explosions."
"New Order?"
"Didn't look like it. No ships landed did they? And we didn't see any in orbit just now. So..where going now sir?"
"Some planet. One of the crew needs to speak to a govenor. And I wouldn't mind either...And i need to tell you all something.."
Bayhes checked no-one was listening but Praylyn, Barret, Dukes, and Satchwell. He told them what Gamma had said to him and Cross, and what the hologram in the base had said.
"I'm not asking for your help, but I'll accept if you want to."
"Count us in."

"Aye, sir..." Said I "Course Ploted, we're jumping in 3 minutes..."

When we entered into FTL, I went to my room, and noticed... "Wow... I must not shave in a handfull of days..."

I got a machine out of my bagpack, and started cutting "all" that beard...

"There... nice and smoth..."
