Man I am really starting to get pissed off.
If we don´t get an update soon I have to go and destroy something.
And about the writers block, solve it the Mandalorian way, shoot it..

Again, I am really sorry...

But I just don't know what to write... and, I have school trouble, so less time in addition. I will try to make one update a week, maybe one all four days, but rather all five or six days... will see, lads wink

Chapter Five

Uunas Shai was totally surprised by a sudden explosion coming from the hangar.

He went to one of his communication officers and asked: "Status report. What happened out there? Send a unit to the hangar to investigate the situation."

"We already sent one, sir," the officer replied. "But there is no hangar anymore where our troops can be sent to."

"So you want to tell me that we just lost all of our larger ships?" Uunas Shai said, boiled with rage.

"Y... Yes, sir," the communications officer answered anxiously.

"So we know their target. They want to destroy our ships and yorik-ets when they're still on ground. What do we do in such a situation, officer?"

"We set a trap at the growing plants, sir," the officer said uncertainly.

"Yes, we set a trap there. And what else do we do? We get all our coralskippers airborne," Uunas Shai answered his own question. "And when they are trapped, we will sent a squadron of coralskippers there and decimate them. Now hurry up. The enemies don't wait for our move."

"Yes, sir!"

They will pay for what they did, Uunas Shai thought. But they are worthy sacrifices, so we should take try to take as many of them alive. I better lead this operation myself.

*******

"Hurry up," Ronan ordered his men. "I bet those scarheads smelled our objective and will set a trap at the growing plants. We must be there before they are, blow it up and then set an ambush for them."

They confirmed with comm clicks. Ronan checked the remaining distance to their target with his rangefinder. Three klicks. I'd prefer a fast airspeeder to walking right now...

"Sir, we have a problem," Grimes, who walked next to Ronan, said. "We haven't got enough explosives to blow all of the coralskippers up. We need the Warrior's Claw. They have enough gear there to blow up half of the planet."

"Fierfek! That's the last thing we needed," Ronan said, upset. "The Claw can't reach us here without risking heavy anti-air fire. We have to take out the anti-air canon-alikes on their whole way to our position. Is there enough ordnance for that, Grimes?"

"Yes, but then we have nothing more to blow up the coralskippers," the explosives expert said. "If something goes wrong, we're stuck here without ammo and arms. The risk is too high, sir."

"Right. So we need the Lancers and Crusaders to leave their stronghold and make their way here. They should have enough explosives to take the growing plants out, haven't they?"

"Yes, but it would take too long until they arrive. I don't know how fast the Scarheads are to set up a trap, but I'm sure they are fast enough."

"Not if we set an ambush before they get there," Ronan said, smiling. "We should have enough ammo to defend the growing plants, haven't we?"

"Yes, we have."

"Very well. Contact the Lancers and Crusaders," Ronan ordered his comm-officer. "We need reinforcements."

*******

Uunas Shai and his company of Yuuzhan Vong warriors had to walk to the growing plants on foot because no yorik-trema transport carrier had survived the detonation. They now had approached the first plant and cautiously awaited new orders.

"Move on, warriors," Uunas Shai ordered them. "We have to set the trap before they arrive."

The warriors went on and hid in the environment, when a sudden bolt breached the air and hit the leading warrior right in his head. They searched cover at once and threw thud bugs in the direction where the blast had come from.

Uunas Shai could see more blasts of fire, which hit nearly all of the thud bugs before they were near enough to be a real threat. The commander of the Yuuzhan Vong was surprised by the sheer precision of the shots of their enemies.

Those infidels are really worthy, he thought, not without a bit of fear of losing this battle. But they are outnumbered and don't stand a change against the wrath of the Yuuzhan Vong and Yun-Yammka.

"Take as many as possible alive," he ordered his warriors, while making his amphistaff transform into an agile snake. "Cover me," he said and ran right into the bushes were the shots came from.

A blaster bolt hit his Vonduun-crab armor on his left shoulder, but it wasn't strong enough to be really dangerous. Uunas Shai enjoyed the pain that burned like fire in his shoulder and used it to feed his wrath even more.

The first enemy he could see was in silver and golden armor, wielding a big rifle with a bayonet under its muzzle.

I hope this is their leader, he thought. Always take off the enemy's head. first.

Uunas Shai made his living weapon transform into a staff and threw it right at his enemy's shoulder.

*******

"Incoming," Ronan shouted out when he saw a heavily scarred Yuuzhan Vong warrior rapidly approaching him. He aimed his sniper rifle at the scarhead's head, but then realized that the distance was too short for getting a precise shot.

So he activated the vibro-emitter on his rifle's bayonet and waited the Yuuzhan Vong to attack.

The Vong, who was obviously the highest ranked on battlefield, counting by his high amount of scars and tattoos, suddenly threw his amphistaff as a spear at Ronan's shoulder, but the Mandalorian ducked and rammed his rifle into the living weapon.

Pierced by the bayonet, the amphistaff flagged and died seemingly. Ronan couldn't get his carbine out again and threw it away, preparing for the Yuuzhan Vong's attack.

The scarhead, obviously surprised that his main weapon was useless now, drew his dagger-like weapon, a coufee, and lunged out, attempting to slash Ronan's throat.

Ronan extended the vibroblades in his right gauntlet and parried the stroke. Then he rammed his left in the scarhead's armpit and fired a wrist dart, which worked on the same way as the pain bullets.

The Yuuzhan Vong leader collapsed and kissed the dust.

Ronan retracted his vibroblades and pulled his EE-23 out of the dead amphistaff.

"Status?" he asked Norvath, his adjutant, over comm.

"Three men down and one heavily injured. I don't think he'll make it. But the enemy's losses are higher. They came with two hundred men and only a quarter is still alive," Ara answered. "Wait. They are withdrawing, sir. I think we hit them pretty hard."

"The Vongese will call for reinforcements, if they haven't already done so. We better find another position. What amount of coralskippers can be blown up, Grimes?"

"Two growing plants, sir," the explosives expert replied. "But there are still three more to go then. When we take out the two now, then the others will be alarmed and probably get airborne."

"They will be alarmed, anyway. Blow up as many as possible before they get into the air," Ronan ordered. Grimes confirmed with a double comm-click and half of the Honor Guards went off to the growing plants.

"Halberdier, come in. We could need you here," Ronan contacted the Lancers.

"Bad news, Ronan," Atross replied. "We have hard contact-" blaster bolts on the other side of the commlink interrupted him, "- and probably won't make it in time. Sorry, sir."

"Copy that, Atross," Ronan said. "Good luck."

"You too, sir. Halberdier out."

Fierfek! Why can't anything go as planned?! Ronan thought desperately. But there is one way we can handle this situation.

He ordered his comm-officer to him and then arranged a long-range commlink to the Spar's Legacy in orbit.

"Mand'alor, this is Ronan Barec. We could need some reinforcements here, sir."

"Copy that," Boba Fett's harsh voice answered him. "I'll take care of that myself."


To be continued...

Ah, Boba Fett's on the way. cool I'm not an avid reader of post-ROTJ EU, as I heard several farfetched things about some apparently cliche villains known as the Vong.

Living weapons? Right. rolling_eyes Not your fault, Dave, but they seem a bit un-SW to me.

Well, just kill 'em all. happy Keep it up, buddy.

I know it's weird... and I don't wanna try to tell you anything. I'll just leave you your opinion.
I don't like the Vong in some way, and that's why I let the Mandalorian Protectors seriously kick their scarred asses... cool

The Vong are anything but cliché, especially compared to the recycled plot garbage of the Bantam-era pre-NJO books. And the biotech makes a lot more sense if you've read the books and have the backstory on why they use it. I hated the Vong, but because they were so incredibly evil. They were worthy villains.

Good chapter! I like the vibro-bayonets, hehe. Those sound like fun.

A very good point. You really have to read some NJO books to partially understand them...

Yeah, Uunas. The Mandalorians are worthy sacrifices. Shame you won't be doing the sacrificing. devil

And Boba Fett's coming in, eh? Excellent. Nice fight between Ronan and Uunas, by the way.
