Be with you shortly
Ash turned and took off at a dead sprint. 30 feet away, a guard ran out, right into a sprinting Ash. He never stood a chance: Ash just saw a startled look before he was tacked. His head went one way and his body careened into a wall. Some blood splattered on Ash's armor, but he never stopped running.
He reached the estate within minutes. He peaked over the roof of a building, where he now was. It was in order to avoid most of the people he saw. The door's were being guarded by two armored guards. Ash took a couple steps back, then ran forward. The guards were too slow to react to the flying green figure to bring up their weapons. Ash grabbed his lightsaber, and sliced a guard in half. The second fired his rifle, the beam just bouncing off his shields. Ash sent lightning at him, then cut him down.
Ok, time to find a way in.
Ash looked around, then started to clime up the wall using the windows and handholds. If he needed one, he made one. [/sub] |

Oron kicked the door open as Jasirm and Nuke stared down the police officers, who had their guns already trained on the estate.
"Stand down! Put your weapons down!" shouted an officer.
Nuke and Jasirm stood by Oron, still with their guns trained. "What do we do, Lieutenant?"
"Easy there, follow my lead." said Oron, waving his hand towards his squad's guns. Turning to the police, Oron said, "I am Lieutenant Oron, leader of Reaper Squadron. I am here to speak to Chief Fernandez." the officers put their guns down as a medium height man emerged from the crowd. He was wearing a blue and white police uniform, with a blaster in his holster. "Lieutenant Oron? This is Chief Fernandez. I wasn't expecting you out here."
"The rest of my team is rescuing the Senator and his daughter as we speak. They should be here soon." he said in a stern voice.
Chief Fernandez looked around, looking nervous as hell. The officers around him were also nervous, looking to their Chief to see what was going on. "Perhaps you should send your men into the estate to round up the prisoners..." said Oron, trying to see what Fernandez would do.
The Chief turned around, with his hands on his hips, and took a few steps away from the Reapers. Turning his head around, he had a dark grin on his face. "Kill them." he said, darting off towards the city. The police officers in the area opened fire on Oron, Nuke, and Jasirm. Nuke and Jasirm took cover behind two pillars while Oron clasped his hands together, bringing in two vehicles colliding together and in front of the entrance, which would provide more cover for Nuke and Jasirm.
"Hold out here for as long as you can, I'm going after Fernandez." Nuke and Jasirm nodded in accordance, opening suppressive fire on the officers. Oron reached into the ground and let out a shockwave towards the center of the perimeter, knocking the officers off their feet and the spreading the vehicles apart. Oron then dashed right through the middle of the perimeter as the officers began to recover. It was now cat and mouse, Oron and Fernandez, in the city of Ranadaast.

Ash continued to scale the wall until he started up the large curving roof. Surprisingly, it was metal coated with a solution to give it the same appearance as the walls. The glass was still just glass. Ash magnetized his boots, and it was easy for him to look around.
He looked through a couple of rooftop view ports, seeing mostly guards. They patrolled the halls without a care. Too cocky, even for Ash. He continued on until he reached what was the center of the large building. Looking down, more than 50 feet, there were a number or armored and unarmored guards. In the center of the room were two humanoids, the Duro senator and his daughter perhaps? Ash would need to think of how to think of a good way to extract them.
No more than 30 seconds later, a man stormed through the large main doors, a blaster in his hand. He stormed up to the senator, who was standing in front of his daughter. He backhanded the senator, forcing him to the ground. When he tried to get back up, two guards grabbed him and held him back. The original man grabbed the Duro girl and started to drag her away. Ash could just make out her screaming.
It was then that something seemed to snap in Ash's head. Ash rose from the ground, Jumped up, and smashed through the glass. It didn't shatter as he expected, but fell away in a giant spiderweb clump. Debris from the rooftop fell around him. Ash landed just in front of the man and the Duro girl. Everyone in the room was taken by surprise. Ash grabbed the man's arm, broke it, forcing him to let the girl go, then spun him, hard, into an unarmored guard. Half a second later, he grabbed the girl in one arm, the large chunk of glass in the other, and rushed to the senator. He held up the glass, forming a barrier between them and the blaster bolts. The glass, even tempered such as this, wouldn't last long against this barrage.
I hope you can use a blaster.
Ash gave the senator one of his blasters after he took them to a space of concave wall blocked by two trees. The glass formed a small wall of protection. Ash hopped it easily, and unleashed a barrage of blaster bolts himself. He had each of his blaster rifles in each hand, and was running around, drawing fire away from the Duro's. He managed to take down all but two unarmored guards, and only two of the five of the armored ones. He tossed the blasters, grabbed his lightsaber, and sprinted one of the armored guards. He moved, but a blast of lightning forced him back to Ash. He was cut down instantly. The remaining unarmored guards fell next. They were stupid to remain in close proximity to each other.
The final two armored guards were smart and kept their distance, but they were too close together. Ash ran in a curve, and rolled a thermal detonator at their feet. They weren't smart enough to see it. A blast of explosives later, there was nothing but burnt armor left. One was moving slightly, was was decapitated moments later by Ash. Ash didn't see the man with the broken arm, so he must have fled. Ash turned to look at the Duro's, and started for them. Blood stained his armor.
Are you the Duro Senator? I'm Ash Lightning, hear to rescue you. [/sub] |

The Senator debated on whether to grab the blaster, and then decided itd be a smart idea. "Finally, some help. This whole planet just turned into an uproar. A Cou de' Tat is taking place all over the planet. And I think there is some connection with the rebels and the terrorists..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oron stopped at a crossroad, where vehicles were parked on the sides of the streets. There was not a soul in the streets. Blasters could still be heard from the estate, and from somewhere else. Oron focused on his surroundings, feeling for Fernandez.
"Got ya." said Oron to himself as he darted down the left street. Little did he know, that's where the government building is.

Ash pressed a button on his comlink. Despite his hands being encased in large gauntlets, he was nimble and careful with the small device. He scanned the room again, then looked at the senator and his daughter again.
Cou de' tat or not, this entire thing is more than it seems. We have came to the conclusion that the law enforcement and the terrorists are working together, but rebels? I didn't know that three were any.
Ash ripped off a banner off the wall, and herded the Senator and he girl to him. He tied the Senator on his back, and the girl on his front. He wasn't going to head out the doors, but scale the wall.
Ok, you two, we head up now. There is a shuttle waiting for us that will take you to safety. I won't be coming with you, but will meet up with you after I regroup with the rest of the team.
Ash was set up about 5 feet from one of the walls, almost directly under a ceiling window that was shot during the firefight. He lifted up his right arm and shot out a fiber cable, and started to scale the walls quickly. As he did, he activated his comlink with Oron, and shut off his external speakers.
Leader, activate your personal beacon so I can find you. My part is done.
Ash climbed out of the hole, and looked to the sky, but that was useless, for their shuttle was just opening their ramp. Someone met them at the top. It was Ash who spoke first.
Take them back to the Venator, and be back here within 10 minutes. If you can't do that, send down a second shuttle to pick us up.
Ash bailed off the ramp, to the roof, and slid down to the ground. If the pilot needed to talk to him, he would use the comlink. Now he needed to find Oron. [/sub] |

Fernandez hid around a corner, a block away from the government building.
"Oh shit, what the fuck did I get myself into...Shit shit shit..." saying to himself. Running across the block with a blaster in his hand, he reached the building, which was fortified with police officers and the terrorists. The officers quickly cleared him inside and he ran up the winding stairs, past several terrorists who were looting government records. Fernandez burst into the center office, where a tall man in a white uniform stood, watching the battle at the estate close to an end.
"You seem to be a bit flustered, Chief..." the man said, without moving a muscle.
Fernandez took a few deep breathes before responding. "The Republic has sent a commando team after us. One of them is, or was chasing me."
The man slightly turned around, his black hair covering his face. "Is the bomb in its place?"
"Yes it is, but I don't think that'll solve the problem with the commandos, sir. I knew this wasn't a good idea."
"Relax, Fernandez. You have done your part and you will soon be in charge of Duro. The cause of the PTI is spreading rapidly, more operations in the works as we speak."
Outside the building, Oron stood on the roof as he sensed Fernandez talking to another man. He didn't know what they were talking about, but realized it'd be a hard time to get in. Oron's comlink rang. Ash's voice sounded off, giving him the word that the Senator and his daughter were safe.
"Good work, Lieutenant. I want you to find that bomb there. It's there, I know it is. If you see Nuke and Jasirm, tell them to tag along with you."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The pilot of the shuttle nodded. The Dragoon lifted off the ground as it raced for the Venator in space.

Ash skidded to a halt before turning right back around. He was a couple blocks away from the estate now. He sent a simple signal of an affirmative, then headed back to the front door. Nuke and Jasirm were in a firefight with some guards. Jasirm had a bandage around his head, hiding what was a wound. Ash joined right in the fight, and the three of them dispatched the guards with relative ease. Nuke and Jasirm regroup around Ash.
Ash, good thing your here. Me and Jasirm picked up signs of a bomb.
Yea, Oron believed that there was one in here. Its up to us to find it, but I don't trust Oron alone, wherever he is. Lets get this done and help the guy out. It should be a milk run, most of the people here are dead, I would think. Lets go.
Nuke and Jasirm nodded, and the three of them took off into the building. Ash took point with Nuke at the rear. Jasirm seemed to be struggling a little, so their progress was slow. Ash was looking for any form of radioactivity that came with a bomb. As they progressed further into the estate, he finally picked up the signed he needed.
Ok, team, it should be right through this door.
Ash practically ripped the door's off their hinges, and backed around the corner instantly. Nuke was fast enough, just barely, but Jasirm was vaporized by the waive of lazer fire that washed through the door. Ash turned away from what was left his his former teammate.
Nuke, on three, throw in a thermal det. and a smoke. Then rush to the bomb. Its off to the right about 35 feet from where we are. I will give you cover..... One...... Two.... THREE!
Ash did the same as Nuke, but a hair faster. He also rushed it, taking the shots for Nuke. The smoke went off just before the powerful grenades. Their lines were shredded, well, mostly. All the power armor soldiers were standing, and only a quarter of the non armored soldiers were left standing. Nuke was in position within seconds. Ash hid behind a pillar giving Nuke cover. There were 10 power armor's here, and all were giving Ash hell. The non armored soldiers were going after Nuke, but were stopped by a rocket. Nuke somehow managed to get a rocket launcher and blew away the soldiers.
The armored, were distracted for a half a second, enough for Ash to move. He jumped at their lines, ignited his lightsaber, and sliced through their ranks. He was caught in the left temple by heavy fire, and flew away, but managed to fry what was left of the power armors with lightning. Ash landed hard, and hardly had the strength to stand up. He put everything he had into that last lightning strike, and the entire room was coated in blackness. Nuke peaked around the bomb.
Well, that took care of it. The wiring is fried, and the detonator is toasted. Count it as a giant paperweight now.
Good, lets get out of here. Tell Oron that the bomb is done for.
Ash, even tired out of his mind, kept up with Nuke on their way out. luckily, they met no one on their way out. [/sub] |

Sensing that Ash and the team were complete, Oron set his beacon. Then, going to the far side of the roof, he used the Force to leap from his building to the roof of the government building. He took another rest as he looked down at the defenses below, noting that it'd be a massacre for Ash and the team. Reaching for his comlink, Oron contacted Ash.
"Ash, I am at the government building. This place is a fortress. I have set the beacon and am waiting on the roof. Do not, I repeat, do not, engage the enemy. Find a way onto the roof and we'll advance from there."

Roger that, lead. Ash out. Nuke, I want you to go to the west and set some charges for a distraction for us. Don't engage the enemy. Once the charges are set, radio in to me or Oron. I want that done in five minutes.
Are you trying to insult me? I will have it done in three.
Good, lets go.
Nuke took off away from Ash, who himself started to scale a nearby building. He was up in 30 seconds, and was running to Oron's beacon. Two minuted before Nukes supposed deadline, the Government building came into his view. A minute and a half left, Ash was finding the nearest spot to get over. A minute left, Ash jumped over and barely made it. He took 10 seconds to catch his breath. 30 seconds left, Ash made his way to Oron.
Nuke will have a distraction for us in about 30 seconds. Be ready to jump in when the distraction starts up.
This is Nuke. Distraction in place, but I'm taking heavy fire. I'm retreating, and requesting an air lift. Ash, Lead, can you GET ME THE HELL OUT OF HERE?
Fuck. Oron, the choice is yours for a lift, or you can go and help him out. I'm about out of strength myself right now. Once I am ready, It may be too late.
Ash hated to be almost out of strength. He removed his helmet for a couple of seconds, enough to eat a simpill for energy. [/sub] |

"Already on it," said Oron, who began pressing buttons on his wrist. Nuke continued running down the streets, blaster trails whizzing past his head. Suddenly, a Dragoon swooped down and hovered over the ground behind Nuke, providing him cover and absorbing the blasts. The door opened with a marine at the door. "Need a lift?"
Back at the building, Oron looked to Ash. "When's the distraction gonna be set?"

Ash replaced his helmet and looked out at the Dragoon picking up Nuke. Seconds later, there were a series of large explosions off to their right. Nuke set charges close to here, and sent them farther away. Ash unpolarized his faceplate and smiled at Oron.
I hope that counts enough for you. My motion detector is showing everyone to be moving off, well, what I can see on it. Shall we move in?
Ash polarized his visor again, and moved near a window. The room below was empty, save for one man. Ash broke through the window and shot the guard before he could comprehend what was going on. [/sub] |

"Damn, he's getting too quick for me." said Oron. A shadow had been cast by the clouds and sun upon the roof. Oron blended into the Shadows and then entered the void. He reappeared in a room next to Ash then kicked open the door. There was nobody out there. Going to the next room, Oron saw Ash and maintained his vision down the hallways. "I don't see anyone here. Any thermals?"

Ash kept one blaster trained ahead of him at all timed. His left hand, which was open for a weapon, was twitching, blue/white lightning occasionally coursing through it. Everything was clear for normal vision, so Ash switched over to thermal. This would picked up any cloaked terrorists. He picked up one directly ahead, which leveled a blaster pistol at Oron.
Fuck.
Ash moved at lightning speed. He grabbed Oron's arm and pulled him back. The bolt slashed right where his head was. The second bolt caught Ash square in the back, but his shields took everything, so he didn't feel a thing. Only his shield bar went down. It continued to go down as fire lashed at him. Ash turned, leveled his blaster at him, and fired. The terrorists body fell, now faceless.
There's your answer. Were all clear now, though radar show's baddies on the other side of this wall. Wanna go around and have me be the distraction? [/sub] |

Oron felt the grasp of Ash pulling him away from the incoming danger. As Ash stopped the terrorists, Oron replied. "That won't be necessary. Hang onto something." Closing his eyes, Oron concentrated on the earth beneath their feet. The ground began to violently shake, causing the terrorists throughout the building to lose their balance. The building itself was still standing, but only a couple of rumbles can completely demolish the building.
"Lets do this." Oron summoned his lightsaber as he plunged it into the wall, making a big circle for both him and Ash to get through. He used the Force to push the cut out circle into the room, knocking back any enemies.

Fancy. Not too much dust, but oh well. HA!
Ash grasps a part of the wall, the searing hotness taking down his armor, and threw it at a group of people. It glanced off one of them and knock two of them over. All three were writhing in pain. Ash himself was now in the room, lightsaber in one hand, blaster in the other. He started to take a liking to the lightsaber. Soon, when he had time, he would find a second one, then be done.
He turned around, cutting town a terrorist, and threw the lightsaber. It cut down someone who was trying to shoot Oron in the back. Ash had his back like a butt crack, while Ash's shields covered him. Ash dropped his blaster and pulled out both his vibroswords, and connected them at the hilt. After a brief twirl, ash charged into the center of the terrorists stupid enough to not get behind cover.Blood stained Ash's green armor, tinting it crimson. [/sub] |
