Star Wars CLOSED The Dark Sun - A Star Wars Adventure

Kasper
On top of the Nightwing

Kasper laughed and it felt good. He had forgotten the feeling of good company, of simply hanging out with friends.

"Resus Prime, Kasper Prime, Teros Prime or Cat Prime." He counted the names on his fingers.

"Hmmm. Maybe we need to come up with a group name for ourselves, or maybe...." His blue eyes brightened as the idea simply jumped into his head.

"K-1"

Now that he thought about it, he'd never heard of any planet named after a droid. K-1 was the one droid that helped them to live. It was worth mentioning when and if the time came.

"If you go scouting for water and edibles later on, I'd like to go with. We need to work in pairs anyway." He said, after a beat.

"Besides, Resus and Cat are the brains, I bet they could probably salvage a sensor or scanner to better get the lay of the land."

The more he thought about the possibilities of the future, the better he felt about their situation. Together, they could actually have a chance at living.

Teros Kron
On top of the Nightwing

"Sounds like a pretty solid plan. Let the brains dongle thinking and get out there to get some water and something that tastes better than those supplies." Teros smiled.

They would be alright. For once he felt not endangered by his surrounding. Since the alarm on Aldera IV had woken him up he had not felt that good.

It seemed and eternity away.

"We will be alright." Teros finally said to share his optimism and then silently watched the moon above.

Unknown Planet, Camp Aldera

​

The night went by without any events of note. The climate was moderate and except K-1 working on the ship and occasionally a dim sound coming from it there was only a mild wind to be heard through the night.

As they woke up the sun was rising. The night had lasted 16 hours. They all had got enough sleep.

Resus woke up with a feeling as if suffocating. He could breath alright, but felt this knot in his chest. Something was not alright. Also he could not see anything, he knew they were in danger.

"The ship is severely damaged by both the battle and the crash, but it is a very robust ship. The reactor has been **** down to avoid overheating, yet I am positive I could repair him with three new power-couplings. Regrettably there are no spare parts aboard the ship. We could not make any jump to hyperspace anyway, as our Coaxium was completely used up by jumping here. I assume our hostile host stripped the ship of these resources. Even once repaired we cannot fly for any more than an hour, which would drain our emergency energy completely. One the positive side the laser canon is still fully functional and I think I have enough parts to build a ranged blaster weapon if the Masters desire it." K-1 stated. He stood in the midst of the camp and put a thermocan into the midst of the group with four cubs. "I took the liberty and created a protein drink for breakfast."

Catherine Belworth (Cat)
Unknown Planet, Camp Aldera

As Cat had fallen asleep, she had heard the boys talking. She grinned. That was good. She herself was surprised at how fast she had fallen asleep. The sounds around them were just so soothing, and then the wind had seemed to calm her mind. So she was surprised when she woke up to daylight.

Cat stretched as she stood up. It didn't look too bad in the daylight. And she felt good. She caught sight of K-1 walking to the middle of the group, as the others also rose. She grinned and offered a 'morning' wave to the others.

She listened as K-1 reported that the ship was for the most part intact. Now that was a surprise indeed. Must have been some time of heavy-duty warship. Even more interesting, he could repair it, if he found the parts. And they could not jump, but no fuel. But still, it gave them some decent shelter. And as a bonus, the canon was still functional.

As Cat smiled at the news, K-1 then put a thermocan in the middle of where they all stood. He had 4 cups as well. "I took the liberty and created a protein drink for breakfast."

Cat laughed softly. "Oh K-1, you are absolutely fantastic!" she chirped happily. She could have hugged the droid at the moment. She would wait for the others to get their drink first before she would grab her cup. She was thinking while looking at the ship. Once she got her breakfast, she looked over at the ship. "Well, do you guys think we should change the protocols to the ship? Just in case Permond shows back up?" Cat sighed softly. "Too bad we can't move it just slightly undercover." She then looked around. "So, what do we want to explore next?" she asked, offering a grin.

Teros Kron
Camp Nightwing

"Kasper and me wanted to go looking for water." He answered Cat's request and took a cup with a smile. It was hot, he had slept a good few hours and felt like he could conquer this world if he had to.

He looked at his brother and something was wrong. Standing up he went over to him. "Are you okay? We are save now, little brother." He said and padded his shoulder.

Resus Kron
The Unknown Planet

Resus was almost overwhelmed by the intensity of the emotion. Danger!

After a peaceful good night of long sleep he had wakened up in a good spirit and K-1 providing breakfast sounded too good. There was a sense of familiarity among them now. Comrades. Friends. Family maybe even.

Then it hit him and once again what powers were guiding him reminded him of the simple truth he had learned the last few days. The galaxy was a dark, hostile place where everything longed to bring death.

"No we are not. I can feel it. We are not save here. K-1, we need weapons." He said and took the plasma cutter from his belt.

Janis Callisto
The Demeter, Battle of Elyseum

Janis watched the black dropship go up in flames as his hands seemed to know what to do all by themselves. The realization struck his mind he had probably killed someone. Actually more than one person. A ship full of soldiers.

In all his life he never had the desire to kill anyone. Even an enemy he never wanted to kill.

Was this how war felt like? Was this what Jedi did? Fight and kill for good? He was happy he was no Jedi then.

Remaining in the turret on top of the ship he looked out for any more danger and saw below them a battle take place as a white Republic ship had landed. They would hopefully safe the others. He had nothing to do with that now.

"Get us out of here Captain. The guns are over-heated!" He yelled through communication and leaned back. Now that the danger was over he felt an incredible sadness. What had they forced him to do? What had they forced him to become?

Catherine Belworth (Cat)
Unknown Planet, Camp Aldera

Cat noticed as Teros walked over to his brother, concern on his face. Even as he tried to console him, Resus shook his head. "No, we are not. I can feel it. We are not safe here. K-1, we need weapons." He said and took the plasma cutter from his belt.

Cat looked over shocked at Kasper and then back at the brothers. She walked over towards Kasper, tugging at something under her shirt. She pulled out a power stick. "I got this earlier when we were worried about our 'host'. And K-1 says he might be able to build a blaster." Cat looked at Resus.

"Do you know what kinda danger is after us now?" she asked him curiously, wondering how he knew or felt anything. But after what had happened to them so far, she was not going to doubt them. They had been through too much together. Cat shook her head and chuckled softly.

"Can..not..catch..a...break." Cat simply shook her head. She was looking around, and then with a few graceful leaps, made her way to the top of the ship. She tucked her weapon back under her shirt. "I'll just keep a lookout, while we decide what to do next."

IC: Kasper
'Planet X’, Camp Aldera

It was a new beginning. A new morning on a new planet, with new possibilities.

Kasper woke up with a sense of ease and relief he hadn't experienced for what felt like days. He’d greeted everyone with a ready smile, Cat, Teros, Resus, even K-1. It felt good to be together like this, after escaping terrors that now seemed to be no more than fading memories.

Taking a warm cup, he raised it up to his friends. He listened to K-1’s report as he drank while taking in the news. ‘IF’ they could affect the suggested repairs, they’d have to make sure they travelled in the right direction for that given hour. Preferably to an inhabited location, where they could get new parts, or maybe even working ship.

Kasper smiled to himself and felt a growing sense of purpose when Teros mentioned how they would go and look for water, for it was the right thing to do if they were going to last for more than a week. But then, something unexpected happened. Resus suddenly spoke up with a dire warning regarding their relative safety.

"No we are not. I can feel it. We are not save here. K-1, we need weapons.” He said and took the plasma cutter from his belt.

What little peace Kasper was beginning to feel fled immediately, only to be replace by the seeds of dread, yet, anger at not ‘catching a break’, as Cat mentioned, began to gill him as well.

“I’ll get to the Laser Cannon.” Kasper announced, getting up, even as he watched Cat go to the ship's roof.

“Stay low.” He cautioned her, then quickly maneuvered himself to man the Laser Cannon, checking that the systems were still operational, then scanning for anything that came up on the targeting reticle.

Unknown Planet, Camp Aldera

They split, one of them going inside, one on the roof of the ship and the two brothers remained in the camp itself.

"I need at least another hour to assemble a ranged weapon, but I could ... oh no, you should probably stay ... unknown lifeforms detected." When he said the last sentence Kasper and Cat were already too far away to hear him.

Kasper probably understood his mistake first, as he sat down in the canon only to be reminded the ship had shut down. The canon had zero energy.

From the turret through the blast proof glass he saw the danger though, appearing in top of their ship just as Cat arrived there. Four strange creatures holding lances in on of their multiple limps.



Cat heard nothing, until she suddenly saw the appear visually. They had used the ship to cover their approach and all four wear wearing thin long lances. Clearly this were no beasts. Four of these creatures, all a good head taller than her, appeared right in front of her.

The brothers would see them from the camp, but Resus would especially feel them. Their intent. Their malicious will ... no it was someone else's. Someone wanted them to be here ... someone had send the Canodai, the Seekers. Someone was hunting them.

Catherine Belworth (Cat)
Unknown Planet, Camp Aldera


Just as Cat made her way to the top of the ship, Cat saw them. They weren't there a moment ago. But that moment had passed, and there they were. Four strange creatures holding lances in one of their multiple limps. She had not heard a thing.

VECK!!

Cat didnt think. She simply reacted. With her gymnastic skills, she immediately pushed herself downwards, shoving hard, and slid down the sides of the ship. She hugged the ship as tightly as she could, to make herself less of a target, as she slid.

"POODOO!"

They might be friendly, but she wasn't sticking around to find out.

Resus Kron
The Unknown Planet

Resus saw the four appear and Cat was basically trapped now. She tried to be faster then them, what else could she try, but these things looked like insects and insects were usually fast. Taking the smaller plasma cutter from his belt he wondered how to use it most efficiently. He decided for a reverse grip and began storming towards the ship.

"Cat, Teron, into the ship!" He yelled. Spears would never be able to penetrate the ships hull. Within the ship they should be save. He tried to pass the estimated point of arrival as Cat slided down, just in case she needed help.

IC: Kasper
A New Encounter

“KRIFF!!”

Kasper couldn’t believe it. The cannon wasn’t responding, it was completely powered down. Was he really that sleepy to have missed that detail during K-1’s update? UGHH!!

Annoyed at his mistake, he took a calming breath as he turned, all the while ‘apologizing’ to his Mum under his breath for using such crude language, which was something she did not tolerate; but right now he needed to focus on safety.

A quick glance revealed nothing that he could use as a weapon. “K-1! I need a weapon!” He yelled as he made his way to the front of the ship, fully aware that Cat was still outside and in danger. He heard her come down from the ship’s roof, but she hadn’t made it back in yet.

Without a second thought, Kasper placed himself just outside the entrance as he passed Resus. He heard the older boy call out to both Teros and Cat, urging them to take refuge inside the ship.

For now, Kasper adopted a defensive stance, hands out and feet apart, just in case he needed to go into action. He quickly studied their ‘would-be-enemy’, noting they had not yet attacked. There were four of them, with and equal number of limbs each, holding lances. From what he could see, the odds were not in their favor.

'Kriff!', he thought, but did not say it, which was likely just as bad.

Peripherally, he kept an eye out for Cat. However, he faced the four creatures and address them, in a bid to hold their attention and give Cat a chance to slip past.

“What do you want with us!?” He demanded. If they didn’t understand his words, perhaps they could understand his tone.

Teros Kron
Camp Nightwing

All of this made little sense to him. As the danger appeared it was almost as if the others made everything they should not do intentionally. They split the group, they ran towards the enemy and Kasper was now shouting orders, which Teros could do little but look at K-1 who stood right next to him far away from the ship.

"What the hell?" He asked and shouted after Resus. "Stop it, come back!"

He slided over a box to his sleeping place and took the only real weapon he had, which everybody had left back here as they charged to confront four dangerous looking insectoids with lances.

Unknown Planet, Camp Aldera

It became pretty clear these were not animals, this were also not amateurs, but seasoned hunters who exploited every mistake their prey did.

Cat slided down the ship, but two of the creatures simply jumped down and landed on it's feet. The skeleton of insects was made to endure deeper falls than that of most organics and as Cat made it to the ground a Lance awaited her hitting her right into the face sending her to the ground. The lance turned to finish the job with the pointy end rushing down.

Kasper's Order was obviously a little strange to K-1, who stood with a can of hot fluid still in the camp and was just about to explain surrender was actually an option. Kasper's attempt to communicate was answered by something grabbing his shoulder from behind and then ... for the second time this week ... the painful agony of being electrocuted ran through his body. This was not the stun blast the droid had used, these were blue strains of lightning dancing over the creatures clawed hand as it appeared from behind.

A scout, they had clearly send a scout I to the ship in advance.


Resus did not do much better. He was about to attack the one that was attacking Cat, when one of the four arms not used right now extended and he was thrown back as if a ghost had punched him. As he crashed to the floor he felt the cold and dark presence that guided the now five insectoids.

The remaining two leaped of the ship and with quick steps made their way to Teros. He had not given up his position and he was armed.

"Tzzztrztztztztz." The one of them hissed at him and his lance began to rotate between the four hands. Clearly he was the dangerous one.

Teros Kron
Camp Nightwing

He stared at the insectoid warrior and activated the plasma cutter. It was clumsy to fight, heavy and it had too much resistance when swinging, but it was deadly. He had cut through the armor of the droid with it. He was confident it would cut through the chitin armor of this thing.

He would not wait for it to attack. Bringing the cutter above his head he stepped on a bay and pushed himself up, bringing the blade down with all his strength as he jumped forward to this thing.

Catherine Belworth (Cat)
Camp Nightwing

Cat pushed herself down, and away from the ship to try and get down to the ground. She could hear the others, yelling and it was what seemed like mass confusion all over the place. Whatever those creatures were, they seemed both fast and scary.

Cat slid down the ship, but two of the creatures simply jumped down and landed on their feet.

POODOO!!

As Cat made it to the ground a Lance awaited her hitting her right into the face sending her to the ground. The lance turned to finish the job with the pointy end rushing down. Cat rolled to avoid the point and swung her legs to come to a squatting position. She then froze. watching its movements. From the painful lesson, she realized that is she moved, it would most likely jab her with the pointy end of the lance. And these creatures were fast. So she held her ground, looking to see what it would do next. Cat was fast, due to her gymnastic training, but these things were much faster and had more arms. So she held fast, as she looked over towards Kasper, hoping that he wasn't injured too badly, as she waited for the creatures to make their next moves.

Resus Kron
The Unknown Planet

Resus fell to the ground as if pushed by a ghostly hand. He did not allow this to sink in. He felt the dark will behind the creatures and he would not let fear gain control. He was done being afraid. He was angry now.

Activating his small cutter he yelled: "Down!"

That was meant for cat as he hurled the cutter at the creature that had just used it's strange powers on him.

Catherine Belworth (Cat)
Unknown Planet, Camp Aldera

As Cat laid perfectly still, she heard a shout for Resus. It was short, and to the point.

"Down!"

Cat rolled to the side as fast as she could towards anything she could use for cover. If the chance came, she would sprint for the ship. Otherwise, she would simply try to keep from being skewered by the business end of a spear and help anyone else she could. This was her family now, and she couldn't afford to lose any more of them.

Unknown Planet, Camp Aldera

The energy blade of Teros came down and the creatures effortlessly brought up it's spear to block it. Obviously it did not know what a plasma cutter was, as it cut right through the spear and the creature. It was cut in two and both sides slided apart.

Resus had thrown his cutter and it cut through one of the four arms of the thing, which screamed as it was severed.

Then the others were all around them and the scout pushed Kasper out of the ship, raising his lance ready to end him. The energy that had surged into him had not killed him, but had caused an unspeakable agony for long enough to be overwhelmed by the enemy. The Creature gave a triumphant sound and was about to impale him ... then ...


It was ripped from it's feet as a long and thin blue glowing arrow hit it. The others turned and another two bolts hit them right away before they could even identify their attacker. The last remaining creature leaped up the ship with it's three remaining arms and send one of it's gnarling sounds out before vanishing.

On the far side of the ship stood a blue skinned man of an unknown alien species with what looked like an energy version of a bow.





"Huyadaaaaaaah!" It yelled at the fleeing creature and went to the fallen creatures collecting his bows ignoring the four young people. Then it turned to Cat and Resus.

"Anaya davil!" He said and put his hand on his chest as a fish. "Daura tavah?"

IC: Kasper
Unknown Planet, Camp Aldera

The excruciating pain from being suddenly electrocuted engulfed his entire world. Kasper’s nervous systems caused his muscles to spasm painfully, his teeth clattered inside his skull, he could not move or react! He fought desperately not to lose consciousness, knowing that he was at the mercy of these alien attackers. Right now, he was not able to help his friends, or himself. He was helpless…useless…..

The silver haired youth was somewhat aware of the conflict happening around him as the tried to ride out his painful condition. Cat. Resus, Teros; the others had engaged the alien attackers, but he could only glean parts of what was happening; he tried to call out and failed miserably- he couldn’t even form words to speak with as he was.

Then his turn had come, when the four-armed alien tossed him about. He could do nothing as he watched the alien creature rejoice in triumph, a moment before it would impale him with its spear. Clearly, Kasper was the ‘game animal’ in this case.

Blue eyes glared defiantly at the alien creature, daring it to make the kill. What use was life if one could not exist to live it?

But the spear never found its mark upon his chest.

A streak of blue hit the creature, sending it tumbling outside of Kasper’s field of vision. As before, there were sounds of combat Kasper could not readily identify, which caused him both anxiety and frustration. Closing his eyes, Kasper summoned all his strength to fight past the electrified effects running through him, albeit to minimal result. At least he could move his body now.

Turning as much as he could, he fought-off sharp pangs of fear at what he would see. What greeted him first was one of the creature’s severed arms.

What!!??

Quickly, he turned his neck towards a sound, just to see a male from an unknown alien species gathering fallen arrows as it carried a strange bow in hand. Kasper followed the alien’s gaze and sighed in relief at the sight of Resus and Cat.

But where was Teros?

Resus
Camp Hope/Aldera or whatever we call it . . .

They had pretty much been overrun. Resus felt the humiliation of over-estimating themselves. Yes, they had escaped the droid and they probably had thought it would not get any worse than this, but once a coordinated group of insects attacked, they basically fell apart. One jumped on top of the ship alone, one ran inside and was overwhelmed when the enemy had predicted it, one tried to help the first two and one retreated to a defendable point and made a stand.

His brother had probably been the only one doing this right. He had killed at least his attacker and had not been overwhelmed. Oh how he hated it had to be his brother being right. Resus was the smart one and now he looked like the idiot. Helping Cat up he turned to the new arrival and raised his hands in a peaceful gesture.

„Resus!“ He said and pointed to himself. „I come in peace. We come in peace.“ He pointed to the ship. „We crashed.“ He pointed to Cat and Kasper. „Cat, Kasper.“ Then back to himself. „Resus.“

The man had saved them. There was no doubt these things would have ripped them top pieces. Despite his brothers heroics the battle had pretty much been over.

„Guys, I guess for once we found a friend or something.“ Resus smiled.

Catherine Belworth (Cat)
Unknown Planet, Camp Aldera

Cat was unsure of what exactly happened. Resus had saved her by throwing his weapon at the creature over her, slicing it. But then, there was a long blue bolt that came from someplace, taking down the creatures in quick order. Cat turned her head to notice a blue-skinned man, holding what looked like an energy version.

"Huyadaaaaaaah!" It yelled at the fleeing creature and went to the fallen creatures collecting his bows ignoring the four young people. Then it turned to Cat and Resus.

"Anaya davil!" He said and put his hand on his chest as a fish. "Daura tavah?"

Resus helped Cat up and then turned to the new arrival and raised his hands in a peaceful gesture.

"Resus!" He said and pointed to himself. "I come in peace. We come in peace." He pointed to the ship. "We crashed." He pointed to Cat and Kasper. "Cat, Kasper." Then back to himself. "Resus."

"Guys, I guess for once we found a friend or something" Resus smiled. Cat adopted a very neutral stance, trying to be non-threating. She wasn't sure yet about a friend. Could be just a more superior threat than the others were. But his language, it reminded her of something. But she couldn't put her finger to it. Yet. She looked over at Kasper. She wanted to help him, but she didn't want to move too suddenly either. This guy was REALLY good with those arrows. SO she just stayed still, as she scanned around to see if everyone else was ok. And where was K-1? Maybe he understood the language.

Teros
Camp ... whatever we call it nowadays

Teros looked down at the body sliced in two and deactivated the plasma cutter. It probably had no infinite battery. Then he turned to his friends and the new arrival.

Angrily he stomped over to them. "What the hell is wrong with you guys?! Are you trying to get killed? We got alarm and everybody runs of on his own? Really? What was that Cat? Climbing up there? Looking for the most exposed point with least cover and as far away from support as possible? And you Kasper? Running into the ship that has no power without backup and surprise you got surprised! And Resus? You are supposed to be the smartest of us but instead of staying with me, you decide that now that thee two have messed up the most fundamental principles of defense you thought you should totally not miss this and ran after them?" He put the plasma cutter on his back. "Guys! This is not a game! For the future! We fight together or run alone spreading attention. Got it? If there is an attack we stay together!" He finally looked at the new arrival.

"Hey there, by the way. I am Teros." He walked over and offered the man a hand. He had no idea about first contact etiquette, but this guy had killed their enemies. At least he owed him a handshake.

IC: Kasper
Camp Aldera

He uttered a series of grunts as he struggled to get up. Pain and spasms shot through his body, almost randomly, due to the lingering effects from the shock he had received.

Kasper listened and kept his eyes to the ground as Teros openly admonished them all.

No, this was not a game. Everyone knew what was at stake. They were not soldiers, no matter how hard they wished to act like it. Kasper kept his gaze downward as shame and anger swelled inside of him, turning his face red. He opted to shift his focus on his bodily pain for the moment and breathed out his discomfort.

And just when he was beginning to think that Teros was ‘cool’.

It was always the same. The jocks always thought they were so ‘tough’.

'Hmph!'

Still, it wasn’t like Teros was wrong. He just didn’t need to be such a jerk about it.

A moment passed and Kasper found that he could control his movements enough to dust himself off without his muscles suddenly tensing of locking involuntarily. He listened to the older boy introduce himself to the alien with the glowing bow. The weapon, he had to admit, was impressive looking.

Finally able to stand, the silver haired boy move to join Resus and Cat where they stood.

“You guys, OK?” He managed to whisper to them.
