The figure looked at Pat, it saw the sword. In a flash of movement, it had slashed across Lillith's face sending her flying into the wall. It put it's blood soaked claws over July's head. Blood dripped down...

Pat draws his sword...


(btw)they don't know he is a merc.

Lt Dunne then says, "I am, er, a friend of Blake's, and I cannot find him right now. I thought perhaps Pat or Lillith might know where he is."

It puts its claws closer to July's head, "Do you want to risk it." Bitter enjoyment in its voice...

Dunne did not speak for a while then said, "Can I at least go to the asteroid belt and speak with them?"

The figure chuckled, it turned to shadow and reformed in front of Pat, its claws raised. It left a single gash along July's forehead...

The Guardian stood on the bridge of the Tempest, staring down at the asteroid cities.
he activated his com-link, and began his transmission.
"This is the Guardian. Lower your planetery shields, and prepare to be boarded. Otherwise, face annihilation!"

He turned and watched as the battle droids marched down the hallway, into the teleporter.
The massive battle droids had over a metric ton of armor each, and could easily handle whatever resistance they could meet on the Asteroid City.

The Guardian stepped into the teleporter.

Blake jumped out of the ship to the ground and said, "The system was pretty damaged, but I was able to repair it to an extent. Once you turn the comm system on, it'll be operable for only 5 minutes but that should be enough time to inform them of our location and send evac."

The figure slashed downward, its claws driving into Pat's arm and pinning his arm to the ground, its other claw shashed towards his face...

The figure looked at the cuts that ran deep along Pat's face... It looked back at July she was in in shock... Lillith groaned in pain. The figure appeared in front of her... It slammed its claws into her shoulder and twisted bringing out a chunk of flesh. Lillith screamed in pain, "where is she." The figure asked, Lillith fell to the ground clutching her torn shoulder...
The figure turned and walked out of the room. "If I find her, and you knew, then this will only be the beggining." It dissapeared...

The battle droids activated their magnetic clamps and fell to the floor with a metallic clang.
They stood up, and began to fan out, searching for the inhabitants.

The Guardian watched as the droids effectivly disembowled any resistors. He wondered whether there was any remnant of the great army that had once driven him away.. no, he decided. They were probably destroyed along with their entire world, hundreds of years ago.

The droids spread to the other parts of the city through the teleportation network. Soon, they would find what they wanted.

The dropship then flew towards the asteroid belt. Dunne thought, after all this time Blake failed to eliminate any of them and was now probably dead. He was not powerful enough to kill them all himself either, but maybe he could lure them to the merc cruiser in time. Soon, the dropship entered the city and slowed to a hover as Dunne saw a strange figure exiting a building nearby...

The figure saw the destruction around it, it smiled and let out a laugh...

Lillith pushed her way towards Pat... Blood streamed out of her shoulder and face, she could not see anything...

Onboard the Tempest, one of the many thousands of computer-controlled auto-cannons locked onto the arriving dropship, and opened fire.

Dunne exited his dropship and walked towards the building as he saw Martin's forces land nearby. He thought, they would only be a nuisance in all of this but perhaps in time he could gain their trust. Lt Dunne walked into the room to find Lillith injured, lying on the ground and Pat unconcious...
