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.
