(Warning: Spoilers for season 4 of BSG!)
Chapter 3: Immortals and meetings.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Reach, Kobol city, 1038 hours day 1
DM looked over the map with the other authors and Kanton.
Darkmagicainmon: Okay so where do you guys want to go first?
Iron-Mantis: What have we got to choose from?
Darkmagicainmon: Let's see… there's the Colonail history museumn, a couple dozen war memorials, the Helena Cain Memorial military academny, and then there's the city park.
Hikari: Yeah I think the park sounds best.
Suddenly Kanton started moving away from the group hands in his pockets.
E-witch: Hey were's he going?
Kanton: I got stuff to do. I'll meet you guys at the hotel.
He made his way down a street glancing about as dozens of people walked about their daily business. The colonials had built this city as a sign of hope for the future. Sorrow gnawed at his gut as he thought of how Reach had fallen.
Shade war, Battlestar Pheonix, 1423 hours, day 1114 of the war
TSS: All hands make ready to jump!
Kanton pulled himself out of his batter warhawk the second it was in the landing bay. The hanger was darkened by damaged lights and chaos reigned. Technicains movedabout in the chaos trying to get the landed fighters stowed away.
Chiyo Already had her helmet off as the ship shook from another impact. The full retreat from reach was underway now. Chiyoo cursed as she glanced over to him.
Chiyo: You know I was just getting started out there.
Kanton: Yeah sure…
Suddenly roof of the hanger deck shook as somethinbg hit it hard. Kanton glanced up.
Kanton: What the hell?
TSS: All Hand prepare to repel boarders in the starboard flight pod!
At that moment a bulk head door blew open killing a marine standing next to it! Out of shadows came a stream of plasma that cut down several technitains! Everyone dove for cover knowing what had just arrived. Out of the smoke steped four figures clad in black hayabusa armour. Each one had a wrist mounted plasma rifle which they raised towards the people gathered in the hanger.
Chiyo smashed a supply crate open and brought out a heavy machine gun!
Chiyo: Don't just stand there, Light 'em up!!
Everyone open up full force filling space between the deck crew, pilots, and marines and the immortal hybrids. The hybrids however soaked up the inbound fire their shields taking all of the hits! Then the immortals raised their arms up and began returning fire! Highly accurate plasma bursts cut down tech's and pilots!
Kanton switched from regular rounds and then fired an explosive round! The recoil threw him to the ground but the high explosive bullet slammed into the immortal he'd targeted, sending it sprawling to the ground. His small victory turned sour however as the immortal just got right back up.
Kanton: These things just don't die!
He fired off a second round which had the same effect as the first! The immortal stood right back up and open fired on him! He dove for cover as plasma boiled through an unfortunate marine standing beside him. There had to be some way to kill these things! Before they had faced immortals from the cockpit of a warhawk, there they had the edge.
Suddenly an idea popped into Kanton's head as Chiyo tossed aside the empty machine gun!
Kanton: Chiyo, get in your bird!
Chiyo: What?!
Kanton: Just do it!
He ran out into the open!
Kanton: Hey assholes! Over here!
The immortals all turned to face him the blasted a few people out of their way and then made their way towards Kanton who made several hand signs quickly!
Kanton: Fire style!: Pheonix Flower Jutsu!
A stream of flames shot out his mouth smothering the immortals! The passed through the fire barely even slowed by Kanton's attack! Kanton however grinned.
Kanton: Chiyo, now!
At that moment Chiyo opened fire with her warhawks cannons! The rail rounds riped apart the immortals, shattering their shields and then punching through the armor! Chiyo emptied every last round she had before the four immortals fell dead blood pooling about them.
Present day.
Kanton shook of the memoery with a shudder. They had lost twenty six people in that one fire fight and another twelve more critcally wounded.
Kanton: I will never let it happen.
He just wondered how far he'd have to go to stop Shade.
??, Reki balance of knowledge, ??
Reki groaned as he was roused from his sleep. His body ached all over and he knew it would only get worse as the day went by. Standing over him was the silver haired woman who worked with Shade. She had a sadistic smirk on her face as he groaned.
??: So do you want to talk about anything today?
Reki muttered a curse. The woman frowned and pulled out one of her throwing axe's. Then she swung it into his leg! Reki cried out in agony as blood coated the axe's blade.
??: How about now?
Reki gritted his teeth bitting back the pain.
Reki: What do you want to know.
She smirked.
??: Tell me about the holy seven. And the only weapon that can stand against them.
Reki: I told you already I don't know anything.
She frowned and swung her second axe into his leg! He screamed in agony.
New Kobol City, Presidental office, 1102 hours day 1
Ranger shifted uneasily as he waited out side the office of the president of the twelve colonies. Today seemed to be a slow day and the receptionist looked half asleep when Captian Thrace had dragged him in. At the door to the office were two colonial marines rifles at ease. They had already stripped him of all of his weapons, which had taken some time. They even had him remove his gauntlets and boots.
The door opened to the office and Ranger quickly stepped inside. The room was bare of decoration and the office was furnished with only a desk, chair, a couch, and a stool. Behind the desk sat President Leland ,Lee, Joseph Adama, son of Admiral Adama. Lee glanced up from the stack of paper's he was looking over.
Lee: Ah Mister Ranger.
Ranger: You know that's not my real name.
Lee: Yes but I assume in your profession keeping your name secret is critcal.
Ranger: It is.
Lee: Please sit.
Ranger sat down on the stole. Lee rested his hands on the desk.
Lee: I'm sorry about interrupting your vacation before it could start.
Ranger shrugged.
Ranger: Eh it's okay.
Lee: Well we need someone with your expertise.
Ranger frowned.
Lee: You're a mercenary, and by such you have a certain amount of politcail immunity.
Ranger: Okay…
Lee leaned forward.
Lee: We have a politcaly sensitive situation. Several days ago one of the Sagitarron enclaves twenty miles out of the city was found empty. The refugees were gone.
Ranger sighed.
Ranger: And people supect the cylon rebels have something to do with it?
Lee: Bingo.
Ranger: And you need me to investigate?
Lee: Excatly.
Ranger smirked.
Ranger: I'll do it.
Ranger24: Next time the Author's meet a new "friend", I go to investigate the empty enclave, and Kanton gets kidnapped.
Also if you want to have me appear in your stories with curse mark level 2 get the damn description right! My skin doesn't go red! It goes grey! It looks scarier that we. My twilight power goes nuts and red isn't twilight. Shade's curse mark level 2 will be revealed soon.
