Chapter 5. Kv'var
Kv'var and Hiju paya walked down the long ooman corridor with their cloaking devices active. The two had been friends ever since Hiju paya had killed a young, face grabbing hard meat before it could latch on to Kv'var's head, shortly after the escape from the homeworld. Hiju paya also seemed to be the only N'dui'se to enjoy Kv'var's cruel sense of humor, and would always be ready to listen to his rants on how they should just go back to the homeworld and start hunting elders.
Kv'var had always enjoyed Hiju paya's hunting stories as well. He had always been good at making them sound both like they were actually happening, and at the same time like they were so over the top that it made the experiences seem just exaggerated enough to make you feel the anticipation of waiting in a bush to ambush a creature three times your size.
DING
The two hunters looked around in horror! Suddenly, Three oomans came out of one of the many doors. They wore uniforms similar to the two they had seen outside the construct, only they had no helmets and had burners attached to their under arms and backs.
"Poor guy said he saw a ghost or something." One ooman remarked.
"If this crap keeps happening D12 won't be finished for years!" Said another.
Kv'var motioned to Hiju paya to follow the oomans, hoping that they would go to a more private room.
"Why the hell didn't they have their safety lines on?" The third ooman spoke while they went into a darker room.
"The asses think their too smart to try to preserve their own lives, just like how their to smart to finish the freakin station!" he chuckled.
Kv'var made a move for the next ooman to speak.
"I can't take much more of this bullshAAAAAUGH!"
Kv'var stabbed him through the back with his glaive! Some of the ooman blood got on his body, disabling his cloak!
"WHERE THE CK DID THAT COME FROM?"
"KILL IT! KILL IT!"
Kv'var threw his shuriken through one ooman's throat, and the other began to fire his burner at him! Kv'var dodged the blasts when the firing stopped, and the ooman screamed again! Hiju paya had fired his spear gun through the ooman's arm! The ooman reached for the burner on his back, but Hiju paya threw his smart disk through the ooman's other arm, and blew his head off with his plasma caster.
Kv'var pulled his shuriken out of the wall behind the headless ooman. Hiju paya motioned to his friend that they should hide the bodies, but Kv'var decided to skin both his kills and hang them from the ceiling. Hiju paya couldn't argue, as he and Kv'var were of equal class, and it was his right to do as he wished with his trophies. Even if he let the oomans find him, it wasn't like he would be made bad blood. They finished with the corpses and Kv'var dried his jumpsuit so his cloaking device would still work. He and Hiju paya ran into the hall where they first heard the strange sound. It didn't take long for the door to make DING again, and more armed ooman's exited.
These five oomans seemed more alert than the others, and kept looking at a small square object.
"The motion sensor says there's two creatures ahead, but that's impossible!" one ooman said while pointing his burner at the two of them
"The lieutenant said something about invisibility, open fire!"
They suddenly fired their burners, and a small hot piece of metal pierced Kv'var's shoulder!
"We hit one! Fire your grenade launchers!"
As they began to fire exploding orbs from their burners, Kv'var caught two of the oomans in his net launcher! As they screamed in pain and were pinned against the wall, the other oomans were distracted. Hiju paya took this opportunity and blew one of the oomans heads off with his plasma caster. Kv'var threw his glaive through one of the remaining oomans stomach, and fired his net gun at the last one.
The ooman was clever though, and barely managed to dodge the net before shooting Kv'var again, this time in the chest! Kv'var screamed and destroyed the burner with his plasma caster, but barely burnt the ooman. The ooman picked up a burner that belonged to one of the oomans in the net, and shot in Kv'var and Hiju paya's general direction, this time hitting Kv'var right in the face! It didn't hurt him, but it did disable Kv'var's bio mask, forcing him to take it off.
The ooman was so shocked by Kv'var appearing out of nowhere that he stopped firing for a split second, giving Kv'var a chance to charge the piece of c'jit! The ooman realized his mistake though, and shot Kv'var in the legs. Kv'var collapsed right next to the ooman, who pressed his burner inside Kv'var's mouth! His last thoughts were: Hiju Paya, avenge me!
As the ooman pulled the trigger, he looked into Kv'var's eyes and said something he didn't understand.
"You, are one ugly mother fu…"
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
Kv'var's world went black.
