Talon Squad-Chapter 2

Talon Squad Leader-
I have an idea, tell me if you don't like it. If you do, could you start this idea?
anyway, here it is:
Start a thread of "Brief FanFictions on the histories of Talon Squad Members" or something of the like.
Sound good?

 

Jaren Kai fired the Hawk's guns and another TIE fighter flashed into oblivion. Out of the corner of his eye he saw another TIE collide with an asteroid and dissappear in an expanding cloud of debris.

The Hawk rocked with the impact of...something; Jaren couldn't be sure if it was a laser blast or a small chunk of rock. This area of space was filled with buzzing TIE and asteroids, and either could prove deadly. So far, Ken was doing a good job of avoiding both, but it was only a matter of time before their luck ran out.

The Star Destroyer had plunged singlemindedly into the asteroid field, heedless of the damage it might take.

Kendrick manuvered the Hawk in closer to one of the larger asteroids and skimmed the surface. He dodged the ship under a low outcropping of rock and another TIE exploded, unable to perform the same manuver. The doomed TIE's friends were not so unlucky. They made it through the gap with room to spare.

The Hawk pulled away from the asteroid, ducked under another, and burned hard for deep space where it could make the jump to hyperspace.

But as Jaren blasted another TIE, the Hawk shook and lights flickered for a moment as if a great strain had just been placed on the ship.

"What was that?" Telia's voice came across the comm.

"Tractor beam," Quis responded.

The ship was slowly being pulled in a slowly shortening spiral; with the Star Destroyer's hanger bay at the end of the ride.

 

Rinin saw Ruby Jade looking frantically through the rooms.
"Hey what's up?" he asked.
"I'm looking for commander Kithera. She's not in her room have you seem her?" Ruby looked worry and Rinin smiled and caught her hand.
"I know exactly where she is." he smiled at her and lead her down the hall without letting go of her hand. Not that she minded. Rinin paused outside one of the infirmary doors.
"Hey,"Ruby said." How come you and Kithera are so close?"
"Your not jealous are you." Rinin replied a mischeivioes twinkle in his eye "Kit and I grew up together, when I arrived for Talon squad I didn't know that she was onboard. I didn't recognise her, ten years is a long time. It wasn't until we destroyed the star destroyer and she did this funny little face that I recognised her. Come on." Rinin lead her into the room, a figure moved under the blankets.
"Ready?" Rinin asked. "Commander, Jane Jinn in your sector sir. She killing the crew sir."
"What the ******" Kithera sat bolt upright letting out a stream of curses that made Ruby put one hand to her ears. Rinin was bent over laughing.
"good morning Commander." he laughed.
"If that was your idea of a joke Rinin then I have heard better. There had better be a good reason for waking me up!"
"Actually sir," Ruby began, "The ship is caught in a tractor beam, Ty-gon wants to seee you about inflitrating Darth Mulders area."
Kithera pulled herself out of bed and tugged on her boots.
"What has this team got against letting thier commander sleep? I mean every-time, every-time." she said as she followed Ruby and Rinin down the hall. Ruby looked back in concern.
"She's not mad. She's just letting off steam, she'll get over it in a minute."

"They're ship is exactly where we want them sir. They'll be inside within two minutes."

"Excellent. Gather your stormtroopers and make sure that nothing goes ary. If so, I'll have your head for it if the rebels don't have it first. I sense more than one Force-user on board. This should be interesting."

"Undertsood, my Lord." The commander paused before giving several commands through his comlink. "Anything else, my Lord?"

Darth Agent Mulder paused, eyeing the rebel ship caught in the green tractor beam. "You have your papers, correct?"

"Yes, sir. We know exactly who's on Talon Squad."

"I want all intelligence officers to be interrogated once captured. All commanders, leaders, head officials dead. The rest may be dealt with as you pleased. Once you're done, kill them all."

 

General Kevin Ski saw the Hawk begin to raise from it's perch on the asteroid and move towards the Star Destroyer. He then knew what he must do. With a little bit of skill, and some luck, he might be able to dock the Eagle near the command tower of the capital ship. He would then leave the ship under the supervision of Stumpy and H9, something he was not pleased with. Kaiba would move with him and they would rescue the squad. He looked out of the view port again and saw the transport disappear into the bowels of the Star Destroyer. He turned on the ship's comm and connected to Kaiba, who was in the top turret.

"Stay sharp, were going in."

"Going in where? Where are we going? General, wha-" He turned off the comm. The pushed the throttle forward and the ship lurched into action. Kaiba ran up to the cockpit and saw what was happening.

She looked at Kevin. "Another rescue?"

He smiled grimmly and answered,"Another rescue."

 

Stone handed Ty-gon a commlink. "It's General Ski, sir."
"Thanks, Stone. General Ski?"
The Talon Leader's voice came crackling over the comm. "Lt. Jinn! What's going on!"
"Jane Jinn is dead, sir. She was shot by Mara."
"And what happened to the ship?"
Ty-gon hesitated, trying to compose his thoughts. "As we were evading Darth Mulder's ship, the Vertical Edge, we sustained damage to the hyperdrive and had to land on an asteroid to fix it."
"And now," Ski prompted.
"Now, sir, I was planning to take a small team to infiltrate the Star Destroyer. So far, I have Mara Jade, Captain Kithera, Mekial, and Stone. I need your permission, and I would like to see if either you or Kaiba would like to come along."
"You have my permission, Lieutenant, but I have to stay abourd this ship. I can't speak for Kaiba, though. I'll put her on the commlink now."
Jinn looked back at Mekial, Mara, Stone, and Kit. "We'll be going as soon as we get word from her."
They could hear footsteps.
"Q, Kendrick, what's going on?" the Jedi asked.
TIEs coming into the ship at point three-five," Quis replied.
Kendrick added his share, pointing. "They seem to be coming to meet that platoon of stormtroopers."

Darth Mulder sneered. This day would soon see the end of the New Republic, starting with this pitiful Intelligence Squadron.
Suddenly, his commlink buzzed.
"What is it?"
Jane Jinn's voice crackled over the comm. "It worked, sir. They think I'm dead. Now I have a perfect opportunity to let your stormtroopers board. They won't even know that the troops are aboard until the ambush."
"Very good, Jinn," he said. I like the sir, he thought. Glad to see you found some sense of authority, Jane.

Their ships control locked up as it was pulled onto the Star Destroyer. Telia was ready for anything. This Agent Mulder, had created enough suffering for the members of her now family, Talon Squadron. And she wanted to make him pay.

She got up from her seat, and was determined to be the first one off the ship. There were a couple people in her way as she reached the opening of the ship.

"Stone, I want to be first."

"Telia, we need you and Jaren to be the flank, just in case we have to move fast."

"I understand that Stone, but this "Spooky" guy has caused me enough pain to not stand on the sidelines."

Kaiba, who had been silent through this discussion, spoke up. "Cut it out you two. Everyone needs to be alert and ready for action. We know we have renforcements on the way, so the safest thing to do, is figure out the best way to keep us in control until they show up."

"I agree with you Kaiba, but-" Telia began, but was interupted at the opening of the hatch.

"Well, look what we have here. A bunch of Rebels, who can't make their minds up."

Telia broke through the crowd. "Agent Darth Mulder, you better pray to whatever Dark Lord that you have, that I don't tear you apart right here."

"Oh, so you are, let me guess, Telia Aris. The one time sniper, turned undercover agent, back sniper again. There is not much here on you, but, I assure you, after we're done, I will know more than any of your squadmates ever will."

"I highly doubt that "Spooky". Telia set an cocky grin on her face, baiting Darth Mulder for his next move. But she didn't expect what he was about to do.

"We shall see." Mulder raised his arm, and Telia was knocked down with the force of his blue lightening. Guards appeard, and took the unconcious Teila away in their arms.

"Telia!" Jaren called out. Stone and Ty-Gon held him back.

"Well now," Mulder turned to the Talons. "Lets see how well you participate with me now."

 

<<<Kit, yeah, I've lived in Brisbane for about 18 months, before that I lived in WA. By the way everyone, I've gone back and edited my last post, getting rid of the TIE Fighters from it seeing as they don't show up again for another few 'virtual minutes'. I think Ty-Gon's idea of a TIS History thread is merritable and sounds like fun.>>>

 

The ramp of the Hawk lowered and a dark robed figure strode purposefully into the ship. Jaren Kai had him right in his sights. He would not come another step closer. Jaren pulled the trigger, but nothing happened.

Your weapons will not hurt me,
a voice full of confidence and radiating power echoed in Jaren's mind, and he was strangely compelled to put down the blaster.

The figure spoke, "Well, look what we have here. A bunch of Rebels, who can't make their minds up."

"Agent Darth Mulder," Telia said, taking a step forward. "You better pray to whatever Dark Lord that you have, that I don't tear you apart right here." She looked serious.

"Oh, so you are, let me guess, Telia Aris. The one time sniper, turned undercover agent, back sniper again. There is not much here on you, but, I assure you, after we're done, I will know more than any of your squadmates ever will."

"I highly doubt that 'Spooky'," Telia said, baiting Mulder.

She obvoiusly hadn't expected his reply, but Jaren could tell that he was going to attack. He tried to move to intercept the blast, to do anything, but Stone and Ty-gon held him back. Lightning shot from Mulder's fingers and Telia gasped. Lightning skittered across Telia's body and she collapsed in a heap on the floor.

"TELIA!!" Jaren screamed as guards dragged Telia away from him. How could he have let this happen? He had to do something. Anything.

<<Gotta go. I'll post more later tonight.>>

 

Lieutenant Ty-gon Jinn ignited his lightsaber.
Darth Mulder spun around, and a red lightsaber came from his robes.
The ruby blade came down on the emerald one, and Ty-gon began engaging "spooky" in combat.

With the Dark Agent of the Sith distracted, Jaren ran to Telia.
"Telia. Come on, Telia, wake up." He moved in to give her mouth-to-mouth.
Stone ran to get Rinin- if anyone knew what to do, the healer would.

Mekial, Mara Jade, and Captain Kithera, having been assembled for the task force, as well as Ruby Jade, Milan Kenobi, and Trika Kenobi, ran to Jaren's assistance, propping Telia's head up, appling a old compress, etc. They all went to the bacta tanks, taking Telia with them.

General Kevin Ski and Kaiba Cloudrifter ran up the ramp, having just docked the Eagle.
Kendrick Quinn and Quis Heartilly quickly closed the ramp so the stormtroopers couldn't follow.

Over the crossed lightsabers, Jinn glared at Mulder.
Mulder glared back, then began to mutter. He muttered in the language of the ancient Siths: "El 'Aanigoo 'Ahoot'e," he said. "It is time. Captain Jinn, reveal yourself!"
Jane Jinn stepped out of the shadows.
She moved to the door.
Kendrick smiled- they had locked the door and changed the code.
But then, horrified, he watched as she punched in X-73317, and the ramp lowered. She must have been watching the whole time.

Jaren walked back in, with all the others- including Telia. She had collapsed quickly, so Mulder would stop, allowing for a fast recovery.

An entire platoon of stormtroopers came on board the ship. It was much too crowded for a saber fight, so Mulder's blade was deactivated. "I have won anyway," he sneered.
suddenly, a shot rang out. Everyone looked over to see Jane Jinn go down again, just as Rinin and Stone came in. They took her pulse- she was definately dead this time.
Everyone's eyes then went to the smoking gun- in Mara Jade's trembling hand. She had shot the Dark Jedi a second time. Her hand, now steady, turned the gun on Mulder. All the other Talon guns were on him as well.
The stormtroopers all turned their guns at the Talons, but their lord was in much more danger than this "pathetic" squad of rebels.

Whew, what a relief! Thanks, Ty-gon, I thought I was going to have to write another death scene!

 

Minor question: I thought I had stormtroopers carrying Telia away. And this is all happening while you're surrounded by stormtroopers and inside the Vertical Edge? All I have to say is: you guys must be good.
*****
Once again, Darth Agent Mulder saw Jane Jinn slump to the ground. "Can't she just die?"
His stormtroopers were begging to grow lazy. Thier commander would pay for that one. The smell of death wasn't heavy like his other attacks.
Ty-gon Jinn was somewhat of a worthy opponent. He would be dealt with immediately. He was too much of a risk.
Mulder, in a split-second shoved Jinn back with a Force-push mixed with a fire of electricity, sending him across the room unconscious. The fury of the Dark Side had been sparked.
"Enough of this charade. A'ki huitè ni'sin!" Destroy them!

 

Darth Agent Mulder- to the best of my knowledge when I wrote that last post, we were all aboard the Hawk- which is inside the Vertical Edge, having just been captured by the tractor beam.
-----
Ty-gon Jinn felt himself falling backwards in a shower of sparks.
He glared up- All the other Talons were still on Darth Mulder, but Mulder had his saber reigniter, and was holding the blade at his neck.
Mulder looked back at the dead body of Jane Jinn for just a second, and in that second, Ty-gon's blade snapped on, and pushed away Mulder's.
Mulder reacted immediately, jabbing toward the young Jedi's heart.
Jinn countered, but in doing so, his saber was pushed from his hand. A stormtrooper picked it up, deactivated it, and before Jinn could use the Force to recover it, it was given to another trooper, who rode a speeder bike away from the vehicle. Jinn's saber was gone- deep inside the Destroyer by now.
His blaster was drawn to Mulder's hand. He grabbed Jinn, and held him with his saber-holding arm, and put the blaster to Jinn's head.
"Throw down your weapons!" he yelled. "All of you lousy rebels!"

 

Jinn decided a mind probe might be helpful. He reached inside Mulder's mind to find- a remarkablee resistance. This "Spooky Agent" of the Sith was incredibely strong-minded. But the Jedi was able to get one piece of information. He had to use it- even if it wouldn''t help. At this point, nothing could hurt the squad.
"Let me go," he whispered. "Let me go, Re'deis."
Mulder jumped. How did this Jedi know his real name? Wait- that pricking in the Force- the Jedi must have probed my mind!
In his moment of confusion, Jinn wiggled from the Dark Lord's grasp.
Suddenly, it came to him. He had heard the name Re'deis Scri'ne before. That was why he had recognized the Vertical Edge. He would have to tell the others about it as soon as this ordeal was over.
He was motivated more than ever to get Mulder now.
Mulder's saber lept into Jinn's hand, as did the blaster. Threating him with the saber, Jinn grabbed Mulder in an exact role reversal of only a few seconds before. The gun was at Mulder's head.
"Throw down your weapons!" Jinn yelled as well, this time to the stormtroopers that help his friends.
They did.
All the other Talons retrieved their guns.
"General?" Ty-gon asked.
Kevin Ski looked at him, pleased. "Put him in the cell, away from his lightsaber."
"Will that be enough?" Jinn worried. "He's very strong in the Dark Side."
"We have some yslamiri in the back room," Kaiba smiled, "For just this occasion."
Yslamiri, Ty-gon thought. Only this squad could be so well prepared as to bring creatures that can push back the Force.
Shoving Mulder into a cell on the Hawk, one that matched exactly the one he and Jaren had been held in on Jane Jinn's ship, Ty-gon pocketed the lightsaber. He then released at least ten yslamiri into the room. Finding no vines, they chose to dig their claws into Mulder's arms and legs.
Mulder tried to pull them off, but it was too late. The anti-Force bubble had formed, and filled the entire cell.
Jinn activated the energy shield, then closed the blast doors on the outside of the doorway.
He walked back to the exit of the ship. "We should have a sniper as guard by his cell just in case."
General Ski turned to Jaren. "Jaren, you watch Mulder's cell."
"What are the rest of us doing?" Captain Kithera asked.
"We're storming the bridge of the Vertical Edge," the General replied.
The entire Talon squad, save for a sniper, left the Hawk to take the ship.

"What was that?" Mekial asked Ty-gon as they walked down the ramp. "Why did you get so mad?"
"It was personal," Jinn answered. "I'll explain it after this ship is ours."

 

Gosh, I leave for a couple hours and look what's happened!

 

Don't feel bad, Mulder. It seems I'm the only one who was active when I had about ten ideas. I get those at bad times- no one else has a chance to jump in!

 

Oops. Double Post.

Telia began to miss Jaren. She walked up to Ty-gon Jinn. "Tell General Ski I went back to the ship to be with Jaren."
"No problem, Telia. You look like you could use a rest anyway."

When Telia got there, she found Jaren slumped over, Mulder's door hanging wide open. "What happened?"
Jaren was barely able to make out the words. "Mulder... strong in the force. Overcame the ysalamiri... the magnitude of the Force trying to rush to him killed the little aliens... he used a dead body to short out the energy shield... opened the door with the force... shocked me with lightning...." Jaren passed out.

Ty-gon could feel this happening. "General Ski?" he asked. "Were you a Jedi?"
Kevin Ski was dumbfounded. "How did you know?"
"I could feel it," Jinn replied. "I need your help. Mulder has escaped- Only Jedi can kill a Sith."
"You can feel his escape, too?"
"You felt it, didn't you?" Jinn smiled.
Ski looked at the rest of the squad. "Keep going with the attack on the bridge. Lt. Jinn and I will rejoin you at 1600 hours."
The two left their squad to confront Darth Mulder.

 

Darth Agent "Spooky" Mulder growled in his cell. Not because of the Yslamiri that dug their sharp claws into his arms and legs, tearing his flesh and causing blood to flow down his body. No, it wasn't that. It was the blessed fact that a few worthless rebels could so easily take over a whole legion of stormtroopers and a Sith Lord.
A Sith Lord!!!
And this cursed Force-bubble. And-
Ty-gon Jinn-
How in the name of the living Sith did he ever get a hold of my name? I had almost completely forgotten about it.
Mulder started to see flashes of the destruction of his planet. He closed his eyes, and unconsciously grabbed one of the Yslamiri and squeezed it so hard it burst into a nasty goo on his fingers.
How I would give anything to not be here, he thought. This weak-minded excuse for a guard...
With all of his extensive power in the Force, Mulder called on the Dark Side, the tangible evil filling the cell.
"What the-" the guard named Jaren gaped at the awesome power that was in the air.
The Yslamiri all died with the extent of the power of the Dark Side. Darth Agent Mulder grasped one of the dead bodies and used it to short out the weak energy field. The rest was child's play.
Jaren started to protest Mulder's actions, and when he got in the way, Mulder silenced him with Force-lightnening. The Dark Lord outstretched his hand and blasted the door open, sending anything not firmly attached flying through the air.
Mulder looked at Jaren lying face down on the floor, who was struggling to get up. "I have every initiative to kill you right now, and I think I'll oblige." Mulder raised his hand for another blow when he heard footsteps running his way. The Sith Lord fell back into the shadows.

"He could be anywhere," the General said. "How are we going to comb a ship this size in time without giving away our presence?"
Jinn wasn't worried. He had something planned. They were now back at the Hawk- he brought out two speederbikes. "Remember how I used Q's transparency device on Jane Jinn's Star Destroyer?"
"Yes, but..."
"I built several of Q's devices on to these bikes. I call them Heartilly Davidsons."
"Very nice, Jinn."
The two hopped on and sped away.

Darth Mulder crept from the Hawk. No onee knew he was at the ship- this was perfect.
He crept back into the ship. He shoved Jaren and Telia into the cell, activated the doors, and moved to the cockpit. He hotwired the engine.
He used his commlink. "Shut off the tractor beam," he said. "I'm getting out of here."
He then activated the Hawk's "Home" autopilot.

 

<<Wow! Look at all of these posts. Some people have been very busy. I'm gone for a few hours (12 some odd hours, to be exact), and look what turns the story has taken. >>
