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.
