Chapter Three
Pain.
Yuuzhan Vong usually worshipped pain.
But the pain Ny'ong Yutt experienced was beyond all imagination. It felt as if his whole nervous system exploded and burnt on endlessly. On the other hand, it felt like his nervous system was frozen to the minimum of coldness. The pain was so insane that it made him unconscious, but even in unconsciousness he could still feel it.
The only thing Ny'ong Yutt wanted was to die. To die a quick and painless death to redeem him from his suffering.
But this was the one and only thing he was not able to do. Or at least not allowed to do.
*******
Trynic Jatt looked down on the numb body of the suffering Yuuzhan Vong leader. Jatt knew what the Vong suffered - he was one of the developers of this new pain-bullet. Jatt also knew that the Yuuzhan Vong leader would already have cried his soul out of his scarred body if not the special toxin prevented that.
Jatt had ordered to put the senseless Yuuzhan Vong on a small isle from where he couldn't escape. He had other plans with him when the main mission was finished.
Trynic Jatt went back to the landing site on the isle of So'tara and watched the Mandalorians enter the two KDY AIAT/i troop transporters. The gunships with their troop holds for 50 soldiers per ship and an armament that could easily beat an attack frigate, were the perfect transporters you could get. Next to them, closer to the trees, was Ronan Barec's Nemesis standing with activated cloaking device that made it look like a huge rock. In addition, Barec had added some plants to make the disguise look more real. If you didn't know there was a ship, you could hardly believe it.
The objective was that each gunship would fly to one of the smaller Yuuzhan Vong bases on the other side of the planet, far away from the main base, drop the Mandalorian soldiers off and come back to the isle. The two platoons of Mandalorians would start a distraction attack on both bases and make the Yuuzhan Vong peel off their forces from the main base and so make the job for Ronan Barec's Honor Guards easier.
Trynic Jatt would command the platoon Crusaders to the nearer base, secure the position and make the Yuuzhan Vong base to a stronghold for the Mandalorians. Atross and Kharritokh would lead the attack on the farer base, destroy it and move on to the next base in direction to Jatt's stronghold, and ultimately the main base.
The Devaronian eventually entered the AIAT/i Warrior's Claw after all thirty-six Mandalorians of his platoon had entered. The gunship took off and flew to its destination: the second largest Yuuzhan Vong base on Dubrillion.
*******
Ronan Barec walked over to the next Yuuzhan Vong warrior, the one with the most scars and tattoos that indicated a higher rank.
"I see, you were successful on your mission," the Yuuzhan Vong started.
"Yes we are", Ronan said and interrupted the scarhead with a strike of his as an amphistaff disguised vibroblade. He hit directly in the Vong's weak point under his armpit.
Simultaneously with the Yuuzhan Vong leader, forty corpses of dead Yuuzhan Vong fell on the floor. Five seconds later, fifty other Yuuzhan Vong accompanied them.
Ronan's cloaking-device was already deactivated as he drew his carbine and shot hostiles that were farer away with silent "pain-bullets".
In mere seconds, the Mandalorians had taken out at least two companies of outer-galactic enemies - what meant about three hundred Yuuzhan Vong -, only with vibroblades and silent rifles - and the advantage of surprise. The only hearable sounds were short and quiet gurgles, followed by rumblings when dead bodies hit the ground.
Ronan scanned the hangar with his life-sign-scan and found only a dozen survivors that were quickly finished off by his bullets and slashes of deadly vibroblades.
He went back to the transporter where the Mandalorians were gathering themselves and securing the position. A Mandalorian, whose armor indicated that he was a medic, approached Ronan and reported: "No casualties, except two warriors who have been badly hit by thud and razor bugs, sir. The bugs mainly hit the armor but a few razor bugs have found its weak points. They survive, but I don't think they should fight any longer, sir."
"Let them do what they want to," Ronan replied. "If they feel fit enough to move on, they shall do so. We need every warrior we can get."
"Yes, sir," the medic said and went back to the wounded warriors.
"What's the situation, Ara?" Ronan asked his second-in-command.
"Position cleared and under control, Ronan," Ara Norvath, one of the few female Mandalorians, reported. "We are ready to move on as soon as we got contact from the Crusaders."
Ronan nodded and checked his carbine. He had fired a full round of pain-bullets and he knew that each of them had hit the mark.
Better spare those bullets. This is going to be a long day...
*******
The Warrior's Claw shook badly as the first Yuuzhan Vong projectile hit it. The gunship's shields and armor were very strong and could stand a Yuuzhan Vong attack and avoid a critical damage for long, but a shake could hardly be prevented, especially in atmosphere.
The three dual-laser turrets came in action and quickly eliminated the threat.
The copilot fired a concussion missile in a crowd of Yuuzhan Vong throwing thud and razor bugs at the ship that were easily deflected by its shield. The gunship landed and the Crusaders rapidly deployed and cleared the area. The Warrior's Claw eliminated a few major threats like other mobs of hostiles and heavy weapon positions before they retreated and left the platoon do their job.
"Move, move, move, Mandalorians," Trynic Jatt called out, waving his hand. "We have a job to do."
********
Like the others, Ayden Stone confirmed with a double comm-click and reloaded his archaic, but very effective Golan Arms XM-550c projectile carbine with mounted flechette thrower attachment. For Stone, this was the ultimate rifle to kill a Yuuzhan Vong fast and efficiently. The armor-piercing bullet was fired with an incredible speed that penetrated the Vonduun crab armor of the Yuuzhan Vong easily. The best thing of all was that the bullet exploded after breaching the armor in a way it only damaged the body and not the armor - so that a Yuuzhan Vong had to take off his armor to treat his wound. The only problem of this old slugthrower was its very bad condition - not that Stone hadn't maintained it good enough; it was just very, very old - and it always failed when Stone needed it most. For that case, Stone still had his sidearm and his armor gadgets, but neither was in any way as effective as his carbine.
The small, organic buildings in the Yuuzhan Vong base seemed to be just everywhere and every second several Yuuzhan Vong left their buildings and approached the Mandalorians, obviously ready to fight.
Well, we've been ready to fight ever since, hu'tuune, Ayden Stone thought and aimed carefully at the nearest hostile.
A loud discharge of his weapon sounded, damped by his helmet systems, when Stone pulled the trigger and a bullet breached the air, so fast that it burned it and looked like a usual blaster bolt from the distance, rapidly approaching the chest plate of the Yuuzhan Vong warrior.
A sudden, quiet "clack" sounded when the bullet breached the living armor, nanoseconds later followed by an explosion that was only a bit louder. The Yuuzhan Vong waved his arms to his chest, fell on his knees and eventually barged down to the ground.
Only the adrenaline had made Stone able to hear and see this moment so clearly. In fact, between the time he pulled the trigger and when the body hit the ground only a mere second had passed.
He aimed to the next target and gave him a full dose of flechette bolts. He then tossed a thermal detonator right into a dozen of hostiles that had come too close for his sake and saw them trying to jump away, what was obviously completely useless. Once more, Stone was amazed at the pure accuracy and efficiency that made thermal detonators such notorious weapons. Inside the explosion-radius of the grenade, everything was totally destroyed, but outside the radius, everything remained totally untouched, just as if nothing had happened.
His visor made itself transparent again after it had turned near to opacity to shield Stone's eyes from the blindingly bright explosion and he looked around.
Thirty-six Mandalorians stood around the dropping site, each of them on his feet and seemingly unharmed. They were surrounded by about two hundred, partially badly by explosions deformed corpses of dead Yuuzhan Vong, all in a radius of about half a mile.
Now, this base is cleared, Stone marveled.
"Well done, Crusaders," Trynic Jatt complimented his warriors. "Now let's secure this base and call back the Warrior's Claw. We have a stronghold to raise."
"Sureshot, this is Warlord," he added over comm. "Position cleared and under control. You can proceed as planned. Over and Out."
and please many comments and critics, as usual

good chapter, but be carefull to not overportray the mandos. too easily one slips into territory of portraying them as the ultimate superweapon. they should have a hard time against the vong sometimes. not just mere seconds.

Thx for the comments - glad ya like it.
I know, but they still have the advantage of surprise. And that, in addition to their fighting skills, is a damn advantage vs. the Scarheads... at least in the beginning...
without spoilering you, I can tell you that something will change

Looking good, Corran. I like the details of the battle thus far, bodies hitting the ground, etc, and the expanding-bullet sniper rifle was a cool touch. 
I agree that we don't want to make the Mandalorians look too powerful, but you're quite right, they have the element of suprise at this point, and after all, they are still the galaxy's best soldiers.

Pain bullets. I love it. That's a very original idea.
Slugthrowers against the Vong make sense too. I can see them being used.
I must agree that I think the Mandalorians are having it slightly easier than they should, but not hugely. Great post.

Fifty corpses in five seconds... Wow.
Gotta love them Mandos, man. They'll kill you and and your friends and your mailman in less time it takes to put your pants on.
As for the ranks... Thats a pretty good point. Montross seemed like a pretty high-ranked subordinate to Jaster, but was never referred to as a "Sergeant" or the like. Good question.

Thank you. I just thought they took the best weapons they could get and maybe invented their own. You see, they are very effective

Yes, that was my thought as well. Blaster bolts are quite easy to deflect, but real armor-piercing bullets not... I guess *g*
