Open Invasion Raxus You Had Me at "Hutt Council"

[Ina'al'ena]

Their advance had been more successful than Naale had expected. Although they were meeting some resistance, it was minimized by the fact that most of the Hutt forces were concentrated on the capital building, not the two squads of Imperial stormtroopers steadily advancing from the rear. Currently, she was hunkered down behind a pile of rubble with a few troopers. There was a group of Hutt soldiers clumped up in an old building. Although there were only a few, they had the high ground-and the E-Web.

At that moment, the heavy weapon made its presence known by sending a short burst of fire into Naale's cover. Shrapnel rained down on the Imperial troops, but fortunately their armor was durable enough that any major injuries were avoided. Still, she felt a small sting in her wrist and glanced down. Wedged into her environment suit, between the armor, was a small piece of stone. Cursing silently, the Chiss gently pried the offending debris out of her skin and flicked it away. "You okay, sir?" the trooper next to her asked, shifting uncomfortably in his crouched position. She silently nodded. "We need to knock out that repeater," Naale said instead. Raising a hand to the side of her helmet, she activated her comm. "Bring up a KTV repeater. The rest of you, get ready to provide covering fire." There was a curt acknowledgement over her helmet comm, and a moment later a soldier was sprinting across the street, clutching a KTV repeating blaster by the middle and keeping low. The enemy gunners spotted him and began to swing their weapon around to fire at him, but before they were able to Naale rose halfway out of her cover and popped off two shots before ducking back down. She didn't hit anything, but it was enough to distract the enemy gunners long enough for the KTV gunner to prepare his weapon.

The sound punctured the noise of battle, ominous and lethal. It sounded like someone was ripping up a piece of flimsi incredibly fast. That wasn't it, through. This was a weapon. The E-Web went silent, and Naale rose from her position, weapon at the ready, and moved forward with a small nod to the KTV operator. Behind her, the rest of her men advanced as well, stepping through smoke and over rubble and bodies like unwavering grey-and-white angels of death. "Good work," Naale said coldly, her voice altered a little by her helmet.
(Mostly a filler post. Nobody can directly see them, they will be at Main Street next round.)

 

[Merian Sere]

Kyp’s mistake was ignoring the closer threat.

On the battlefield, waiting to coordinate an attack with a specific shot was a luxury rarely afforded. As he faced the farther Magnus waiting on the perfect timing for his rocket, Merian pounced with a Force-assisted leap that would land her on the Mandalorian’s hovercart in melee range and swung her lightsaber center mass, hoping to bisect him between the chest and the waist. Due to his intended course of action, focused and aiming at the distant defender, he would be hard-pressed to turn and react to the Knight-Captain’s charge before her saber found him.

Her quick leap had the added benefit of avoiding the Hutt’s shots targeted at her, though the way he was Force pushed and had to hang on to his sled to even stay atop it while being pushed back a dozen meters had already disrupted his aim a fair bit. And now, her new position on the Mandalorian’s hovercart provided her with cover through the boxes Kyp had himself used to shield himself from the Imperial defenders.

If the Mandalorian survived her assault, she would press the attack and strike at the arm holding any weapon the Lepi might point at her, hoping to take advantage of an opponent wielding no melee weapon in close range.

[Dar'baal]

Dar'baal almost cheered at the sight of a combo attack damaging the Miraluka Knight. But there were more Knights and Imperial forces already closing in, causing more trouble for the invasion force as a result. The Hutt had turned to face the Knight-Captain but his blasts had missed so far and now Merian were too close for the Scion to fire unless they wanted to risk hitting the Lepi Mandalorian. But everyone seemed to be focusing on the yellow armored being, including the Miraluka who rose and cried a rallying charge. The brightly armored bunny-boy certainly drew attention and the Scion was happy to take advantage of that.

The Hutt spun their hover-sled to face Magnus and strafed to the side while the "blind" force sensitive focused their primary attention on Kyp. As Dar'baal moved they fired two cannon shots at Magnus (@Xan ) in an effort to be more precise in their shooting than before. These were still aimed at their legs since that seemed to have a decent effect from before. The Hutt hover-sled's movement took them further away from Kyp and distanced themselves from the Knight-Captain while having the added bonus of becoming more difficult to see with any peripheral vision from the subordinate knight.

The Hutt continued to move closer to the Capitol Building as a result amidst the chaos of battle. He faced south and could see the Disparaged approaching and also keep an eye on the Mandalorian in case he or his opponent needed more attention. There were imperial forces also closing in down Main Street. This was going to be a hard battle but the Scion knew that even before jumping to hyperspace earlier. Drool slightly dribbled out of the corner of his mouth as he salivated, eager to taste victory.

Spoiler: TL;DR

Dar'baal shoots at Magnus's legs carefully twice with his blaster cannon while strafing to the side, traveling eastward towards the Capitol Building.

Mythos has timed out. Other details/updates were mentioned in the OOC here like weapons and 1 kilometer distance being voided. Please review.

[Kyp]

Kyp didn't have long to celebrate the rocket making purchase on his target because a number of things happened at once. The first was that an Imperial Knight decided that his hovercart was currently the best spot for her to be right now. The second thing was that the Houk piloting the hovercart, quite reasonably, freaked out at this and slammed hard on the brakes. This caused Merian, Kyp, and a couple of the crates to topple violently with the sudden momentum shift. A crate knocking into Merian and Kyp's own lurching, made her hit at Kyp's torso actually end up slicing off the Lepi's left arm at the elbow instead.

A combination of Mandalorian training and adrenaline forced Kyp to deal with the opponent in front of him, instead of react in horror to his missing arm. Fortunately, his right arm was still gripping his rifle handle. Having already lurched so that he was facing Merian, he brought up the rifle quickly and squeezed the trigger as many times as he could at the woman's center mass. If she continued with her current plan, she may take off his other arm but at the risk of taking 3-5 laser blasts to her unguarded chest.

[The Lieutenant]

For the sake of this PvP, i will be using these from here on out for now:

• Space Trooper Armor (Armor)
• E-11s (Sniper Rifle)
• Vibro-Knucklers (Melee)

Driving forth through the clashing souls engaging in the glorious torment of battle, The Lieutenant grinned beneath his helm as another stepped up to plate. But this time, his weapon froze, the Javelin hissing a silent and exhausted exhale. Tossing it aside, he activated his vibro-knuckers as the knuckled blades vibrated with its malicious hunger for flesh and blood. He could hear the Houk's screams as it bellowed in pain when he connected with an arm, feel the desperation upon the air as he drove his plastoid knee into the gut of the beast, and witness the disparaging agony it grasped as he brought his fist down across it's jaw.

Then came the hallucigenic ringing of the air as he felt his form instantly get wrecked with the engulfing pain of heat before it all came crashing down in a sudden aching thud. An small charge had been thrown in their general direction, which side was lost upon the recoiling tides of battle, as it sent both reeling in opposite directions, stunned and skin broiled. As The Lieutenant grasped at the wall he was flung into, the background noise was muffled as he steadied both his equilibrium and vertigo, pain engulfing his left arm as the plastoid bored into the flesh of it. With his right hand, he shuffled out a stim-pack and injected it into his arm, his gaze shifting about.

As the pain began to dull and his adrenaline skyrocketed, he gathered to his feet as fast as he could. "Not here damn it." He half hazardly cursed, pulling forth his only remaining ranged weapon and let loose one of the six volleys it held as crimson pierced armor of a noticeable Houk. "I'll be damned if I let a slug get the better of me."

With that said, his attention quickly fell upon @Darasuum and another volley recoiled.
