Chapter 6: The Retrival Of Troops

As Talyeer jogged through the hallway of the compound, Amber stood at a long range covering him. He rolled into a crevice and motioned for her to come forward. They spotted a lone doorway at the end of the hall.
"That's it all right, that's the prison area." whispered Amber, "They usually have one or two guards watching over the prisoners. Let's go!"
Talyeer and Amber rushed up to either side of the doorway and held their breath. He threw a small pebble from the ground inside the prison.
"Hey Pell, you hear that?" said the first guard.
"Hear what?" said the other guard.
"That noise! Go check it out. It might be the monster."
"Fine..." Grumbled Pell.
Pell walked out the doorway and looked down the corridors.
"Nothing here bro!" he shouted as he turned around.
Lightning fast, Talyeer took a throwing knife and whipped it at Pell's head. It hit with a solid whu-thump and Pell fell to the floor dead. Amber turned around and with a sharp crack! finished off the other brother. Talyeer walked into the prison. It was a tiny corridor with chambers in the walls. A large space for the guards with a small door panel leading to somewhere else. Talyeer walked down the walkway and saw ten people total, with seventeen skeletons. Talyeer blasted the lock on each of the small prisons and the occupants thanked him. When all of the prisoners were assembled at the front room, Talyeer said," OK people, getting in here as one person was one thing, but now, I have to get twelve people out. So I'm going to need help. We only have nine weapons for you all. One person will have to be a scout with only a vibroblade. A small Bothan walked to the front of the tiny crowd. "I was a scout for the Mandalorian Navy. I'll take the dagger." He said. "Perfect! Now we need people to cover our backs and be a vanguard. Murmurs went throughout the crowd. "Oh and if you're worried about the Ackley, I killed it." Cheers went up throughout the crowd and everyone was exuberant! "Shut up! You'll give our position away! Now move!" Whispered Talyeer. The makeshift platoon snuck along to the armoury where they could all reclaim what was rightfully theirs. They reached the armory are with little trouble besides a few sprained ankles from the first drop. Unfortunately, the guards had already arrived...

Chapter 5: The Death of the Ackley

The Ackley fell to the ground dead with a lead slug through it’s brain. A bit of a hard shot there. Talyeer brought up his hand gun and shot the handler. Talyeer grabbed a grenade, put it on a delayed fuse and ran like the Sith were after him. At the two-second mark, Talyeer dove to the ground and curled up into a ball. The explosion seemed to rock the entire compound with its shockwave.
Aw man, it was a seismic grenade, I should have saved that one, thought Talyeer, I suppose that I could take some of this armor and weapons off their hands.
Talyeer grabbed one of his seismic charges and latched it onto the wall. He made a shelter of tables around him and piled the armor and weapons in the makeshift bunker. He pressed the remote detonator and hoped for the best. As the wave went off, ten guards walked in and died that same instant. The pure waves of energy rolled around the compound and anything not held down ricocheted. The shock waves subsided to small tremors and Talyeer final stood up out of his near destroyed shelter. Giant cracks lined the walls and tunnels opened that had been sealed by whomever owned the compound. A surprisingly small tunnel had been opened where the actual charge had been placed. Talyeer noticed that Ashyeer’s armor was in the pile. Ashyeer… what is he doing here? Well I suppose I should get him. He picked up ammo for his Ars and grabbed spare weapons for Ashyeer. Talyeer walked down the hall and heard screams from down the hall and he ran in that direction. He stopped at the corner where he heard the screams coming from. He peaked around the corner and saw a girl about his age, maybe older struggling with two guards trying to stick her with a needle of some kind. Talyeer contemplated helping them restrain her, then thought better of it. She could be useful later on and maybe could help me escape this place. Talyeer threw a rock at one of the guards and struck him in the temple. The girl kicked the other guard in the face, sending him to the ground.
“Thanks friend, I needed that help. So, who are you?”
“I’m Talyeer Talllen, three Ls in the Talllen. I was here to kill the Ackley.”
The girl doubled over laughing, "Ah, that was funny, so why are you really here?”
“What was so funny? I killed it already.”
The girl stopped giggling and stared at him wide eyed.
“You killed it? You!?!?!?! We’ve had famous hunters fall to the Ackley. You didn’t kill it.”
“I did, you want to see the body? It was hard enough to kill, took a point blank slug shot to the head and lived. The second one did the trick though.”
“Lets get out of here, Delkor will be after me with his goons any minute now. Especially with their main communications station hidden around here.”
“Oh, well, I destroyed that as well, and who is Delkor?”
“Delkor is a mad scientist that mutated the Ackley and is practicing biomutation on anyone who trespasses. If they don’t work the way he wants them to, he tortures them. I’ll tell you more later.”
“Why?”
“I don’t know, but I do know I’m glad you covered our escape fairly well.”
“By the way, what is your name?”
“Amber, Amber Ganel.”
“I need to rescue a friend Amber, you want to come?”
“Unless you have a speeder outside I’ll go with you.”
“There, you are out of luck.”
Talyeer handed Amber his slug rifle and unslung his better class assault rifle. They trotted down the hallway to rescue Ashyeer.

Chapter Four: The Labyrinth

Talyeer started with a brief bounce before he ordered would effect a “ tactical retreat”. Running away from the men advancing on him, he noticed after he was running, there were doors set in the rock wall. He decided to open one of the doors and found it was locked, and the one after that, and the one after that one and the next. He decided it was a waste of time before noticing one of the doors was slightly ajar. He slung his sniper and brought out his AR and pushed the door open. The first thing he noticed was he was being pulled on by an invisible force, and it was getting stronger. He gave up fighting and jumped through. Then, he noticed, he was falling. In the air he pulled out his pistol and loaded it. He hit the ground with a metallic “clang!” and gunned down two men with visible weapons. “Who are you,” he demanded, pointing his pistol at a man pulling out a gun. A couple Rodians spat at his request and pulled out vibrodaggers.
“Attack and your friend dies!”
“We don't listen to intruders!” the Rodian sneered.
The Rodians ran at Talyeer and he pulled the trigger. BANG. The man toppled over a hole in his head. Talyeer pulled out a pocket dagger and threw it at the closest Rodian and nailed him. Talyeer let off a salvo in one’s face, causing them to drop to the floor writhing. A blaster bolt pinged off the rock near Talyeer’s head making him hit the floor. Talyeer rolled away and brought up his sights on the man with the gun, and fired. He stood up as the bolts tore through the man and looked around. It seemed he was in a communications station of some kind. I suppose it wouldn’t hurt if I hid some for later and destroyed the rest. Talyeer grabbed the most modern items and stowed them in a corner for later. Now to get out of this place. Talyeer looked around once more for some sort of door. Nothing, lets take a look at these walls. Talyeer walked up to the walls and searched for a seam. After a few minutes of searching, he found a small box-shaped seam. He tried to pry it open, but that failed. He looked around for something and spotted the vibrodaggers. He grabbed them, wedged them in and pulled. He got nowhere with that attempt besides getting two broken vibrodaggers and cut hands. He looked somewhere else and remembered his blasters. He grabbed one of theirs, figuring they would be accustomed to that sound, and fired. The panel shattered and he found a small datapad set into the stone. Argh! I should have…should have what? Oh never mind, um…maybe…Talyeer typed in 35903 and waited. Thirty seconds, nothing. One minute, nothing. Maybe they won’t mind if I hotwire it. Talyeer got out a minifusion cutter and tore open the panel. It’s been a while since I’ve done this………was it green blue red orange or blue green orange red? Oh wait, it was red blue orange green. Talyeer rewired it to red blue orange green and the wall behind him hissed open. He walked toward it and stuck his hand out. It was pulled down-ish. Talyeer jumped over the edge and landed on his feet. He looked around and saw he had entered a giant chamber filled with armor, robes, clothes, and more weapons than he could count. It must be an armory of some kind. Talyeer glanced around and saw three doors. Only two were open. I hate being lead. I’m gunna kill whoever is doing this. He looked around again looking for cameras. Seeing none, he walked around searching for some weapons. Hey look! A high powered slug rifle! Those things are old, still good, but old. Talyeer grabbed the slug rifle and slung it on his back. Whoa, an X-39 sniper scope. I could use one of those. Talyeer yanked his old scope off his B9-x2 sniper and jammed it on the scope rail. Perfect fit. How convenient. Talyeer kept walking and saw multiple suits of Mandalorian armor, Grandfathers armor?! The Ackley killed him too? Talyeer spotted a near new Assault Rifle and grabbed it. Wow, this is a treasure trove of weapons. As Talyeer stood up, the ground shook and the Ackley roared from behind him. Talyeer spun around and fired his both of his assault rifles at the Ackley barreling toward him. The Ackley slowed under the storm of bolts, but did not stop coming toward Talyeer. Talyeer backed up slowly and the hail of bolts stopped. Ah! No ammo in the clip! Slug rifle, yes! Talyeer unslung the slug rifle he had picked up earlier and ran into a corner. The Ackley was infuriated by the constant stinging the bolts caused it. Talyeer took aim with the slug rifle, and fired. The Ackley fell to the floor with a shot through the head. Well I’m glad that’s over. Talyeer walked into one of the open doors and the door slammed shut behind him. What? A trap? How could I have done this? Talyeer clicked on his built-in head lamp and checked out his surroundings. As he looked around, to his growing horror, he saw armored cadavers laying on the floor surrounded in blood and shattered armor. He saw rotting carcasses scattered along the walls, held in place by shards of beskar. The door slowly creaked open behind him. He ran and pretended to dead. He turned on his rearview head cam and saw the Ackley limp in with blue blood streaming down it’s head. Talyeer held in a gasp as the Ackley approached him. It’s apparent handlers came in behind it and one feinted from seeing his pet in it’s current state. The Ackley roared and brought it’s behemoth claw down on Talyeer’s chest plate and shattered it Talyeer brought up his gun and fired.
