Acquiring some fireworks

[Preyt Jhess]

It was yet another hot day on Tatooine, the planet of the Twin Suns, the Galaxy's trash can, the planet that didn't bring Preyt good memories. The last time the Trandoshan put his feet on the hot planet he was being beaten by a bunch of madclaw carpets that felt like kidnapping a Trandoshan because they didn't fancy them. However, he didn't came for pleasure, but for bussiness...Bussiness that were pleasant for him so he didn't actually mind.

Turns out the Wook had something big planned, something that the Trandoshan didn't know about exactly yet, but had the feeling that it was going to be fun, mainly because his task for today was to gather a ridiculous amount of explosives for the future.

That's why they were all gathered today, the Wookiee tasked them to get explosives somehow and the Trandoshan had heard news about a group they could steal the stuff from. Turns out that a big group of Jawas had found a corvette full of explosives that had a rough landing for reasons unknown, the little aliens scrapped the ship, destroying a perfectly capable vehicle just to have a bit more of junk back at home, but they at least knew the value of the explosives, which they brought in one piece.

How did the Trandoshan find out about this? Well, turns out Jawas acted just like the lizard man when they had explosives on them, the little guys began using them to nade the shit out of Tusken raiders and basically anyone that came near their crawler armored, that, of course, drew a lot of attention.

Now, how would they attack them if everyone got bombed when they got near their big, moving home? Well, Preyt wasn't going to just walk towards them. The Trandoshan was piloting his ship, his enforcer gunship towards the crawler, safe from getting blown up because Jawas were not good throwers.

Preyt looked at his two partners, his best mate, Darren, and the intimidating droid Oz, someone that the lizard found very reliable and particulary liked "You two ready? We are gonna land now" Preyt said, the ship now very close from the Crawler, Jawas coming to the rooftop to check what was happening just to be greeted by the gunship's weapons, and thus clearing the top of the crawler for them to land "All right boysss, the Jawasss won't dare to use their explosives and danage their home, their mercancy or somehow trigger a chain explosion and blow this place up" He explained while preparing himself and his gear "Ssso, don't worry about that, jussst clear this place from the little vermin ssso we can take thessse for the Wook" And then looked at OZ "And...knowing their little droid fetisssh I would be careful if I were you, ssspecially if they have Ion weaponsss" With all said, the Trandoshan got out equipped with his armor and weapons, ready to have fun by bullying some little people in their own home like a true Hutt.

When the Wook asked you to do something, all that was left was to haggle to price - for there really was no saying no to a creature that could, and had, rip a mans arms off. And it was for that reason, that Darren Reed (self declared best-dressed sentient being) found himself standing on Tatooine, with his comrade in arms, Preyt. He paid little attention to anyone or anything as they landed, instead checking his gear ofer, and giving his hair a last minute comb, before sauntering up to the scaly compadre.

"So we just need to slaughter some Jawa yes?" he confirmed, spinning one of his pistols around as he said it. Easiest payday I've ever had? Darren wondered to himself, as the Gunship made its final approach.

OOC - Sorry for the delay. Gear as in profile.

 

[Preyt Jhess]

"Yup, thisss isss where the fun beginsss!" Preyt said, letting out a loud laugh before before putting on his helmet and getting off the ship with his blaster on his arms "Letsss murder sssome cute, tiny little ratsss to gain our pay then, it can't get better than thisss!" He added, grinning under his helmet while looking at his partner before going down stairs, humming a song that was certainly too happy for what was basically going to be mass murder.

The stairs obviously led him to the fourth and top floor of the crawler, Preyt and Darren being welcomed by 6 tiny Jawas that pointed at the big lizard in unison, the sound of the guns accompanied by insults and words from a language that the Trandoshan didn't understand and was certainly not going to learn "Utinni!/Oh ssshit!" The smurfs and lizard Gargamel said at the same time, Preyt being faster and hitting a headshot before jumping behind a crate and save himself from at least 6 blaster bolts, at least they were distracted enough for Darren to do something.

"Yup, thisss isss where the fun beginsss!" Darrens somewhat psychotic comrade-in-arms hissed, clipping on his combat gear and chunering something about murder. Trandoshans, Darren chuckled to himself as he followed the lizard, gotta love 'em. Being met by a collection of Jawa was oddly, a remarkably disconcerting experience, Darren had always assumed them to be the lovable cuddle creatures from the movies - but, well, evidently they had survived on Tatooine for so long, for a reason.

A few large shots flew toward him, and Darren swerved out of their way, opening fire with his two blaster pistols, dropping two of the Jawa, before ducking into cover. "That makes three down," he gestured to Preyt "...you get the two on your side," he jerked his thumb toward the third Jawa "...I'll get that last one!"

 

[Preyt Jhess]

The lizard nodded to his companion before getting his head out of cover and shooting the Jawas, his first two shoots hitting at one of the Jawas in the torso and then in the head, taking him out. The second one, however, was way more competent, moving out of the lizard lethal shots and just getting wounded in the left arm instead, which made him squeak loudly, that Jawa decided it was not worth it and ran downwards "HEY, get back here ya little ssshit!" Preyt shouted at the Jawa, vaulting over his cover and fllowing him inside a big room, the lizard was now an easy shot for the third Jawa, but Preyt was more than sure his partner would have his back covered.

 

[Darren Romulus Reed]

The third little pest would not prove to be all that much of a challange for Darren Reed, who dropped it with two shots; one catching the creature in the leg and the second taking it in the chest, sending the diminutive hooded menace spinning to the ground. "Got 'im." Darren shouted down to Preyt, who was in rapid pursuit of his own prey.

Bringing up the rear, Darren tapped the lizard on the shoulder - "OK, lets press further into the ship." he suggested, nudging Preyt further forwards, covering him as he did so.

 

[Preyt Jhess]

Preyt's Prey brought him to one of the third floor's rooms, being caught by the huge Trandoshan before he had the chance to do whatever he wanted to, so, what did the lizard man do? He sent the little Jawa to suplex city, the little rodent being letting a bolt from his blaster hit the ceiling before having his neck broken on the cold, hard ground. Darren would find the Trandoshan inside the room with a dead Jawa behind him, Preyt having a nervous smile on his face and his skin a bit paler, why? This was the storage room, which was full of explosives, the little crazy Jawa wanted to shoot at the explosives and take the whole crawler and the people inside it to hell with him, all of them saved from death because the lizard felt like doing a wrestling move "Well...that wasss clossse" He commented to his friend with a smile "But now we have the explosssives, isss time for usss to..."

Suddenly, the Jawas were not the only problem the duo had to face, seeing how there were now Jawas talking and screaming but also Tusken raiders, who had seem to take interest in the crawler after seeing their gunship land, noticing how the rodents were distracted. The duo would see outside the door two jawas that had positioned himself around the stairs they just went through, covering from bullets that had been shot from the other side, five raiders coming up, three had slugthrowers, the two remaining were carrying those Gaffi sticks they liked so much. Both parties noticed the two men coming from the room, but the Jawa were too busy defending themselves to attack the Trandoshan and the human. The Tusken, however, had enough men to split up their efforts, one of the slugthrowers began shooting at the duo, narrowly the explosives while the melee Tuskens got closer and closer. There were now seven annoyances they had to take care of, 5 of the loud, stupid type, 2 of the small, weak ones, it would be no problem for them as long as the duo protected the explosives, that meant the one shooting at them had to go.

 

[Darren Romulus Reed]

Darren had to admit, the Trandoshan was nothing if not effective - his methods, whilst brutal, certainly getting the job done each and every time. Looking at the room full of explosives, he thanked his lucky stars that the crazed Lizard had taken the time to show off, and in doing so, prevented them all from enduring a quick, yet messy departure from this particular story.

There was to be little time for celebration however, with the arrival of Tuskan Raiders on the scene, freshly packed for a night of pillaging ('twas ever thus with the Tusken menace it seemed). "For fraks sak..." Darren was interrupted as a slug spranged off the nearby explosive container, the gunslinger moving quickly to fire at the shooter, sending the Tusken into cover.

Deciding not leave this rather sensitive issue to the brutality of his compatriot, Darren moved forward, vaulting the Sand-persons cover and firing a shot through its head, before finding himself, well and truly surrounded by the robed sand-warriors four, angry and armed, friends.

"Prrreeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyttttt!" he shouted back to his scaly comrade....

 

[Preyt Jhess]

"Ssson of a..." Preyt said after the arrival of the Tusken riders, letting out a sigh and turning towards his partner was before he realized how he was charging the Tusken targeting them like a madman, it may not be the most sensible thing to do, but it was fairly better that having the Tusken make the whole crawler go boom. It didn't take long for Darren to realize that he was quite a easy target after pulling that stunt "Hold on!" The lizard shouted, taking aim with his rifle at one of the melee Tuskens who was walking towards his companion, aiming for the head and...

Failing, the other Tusken swung his metal weapon down and against the lizard's rifle, making him drop it and saving his companion from getting shot down, a stray bolt coming from the weapon and barely missing the Tusken's torso, which at least drew his attention and made him walk towards the Trandoshan again, at least now Darren had to focus on less enemies. So, the Trandoshan quickly grabbed the Raider's Gaffi stick to avoid getting hit, punching the raider in the face with strength enough to make him fall to the ground. The Trandoshan would still have the Gaffi stick on his hands, throwing it at the other approaching raider and hitting him in the stomach, giving the Trandoshan enough time to take his sword out and impale the one on the ground with it, letting out a smile while taunting the other one. "C'mon mate, give me your best shot!"

Meanwhile, Darren would still have some company, the two Tusken raiders would have notice him, one of them would try to go and shoot the human, only to be headshot by one of the Jawas, who was then shot by the other Tusken raider in return, giving Darren a moment to react and do something about it, shoot the two aliens and be done with it, if he played it smart, of course.
