Chapter 6: Rebels
Returning back to the Oblivion, Vincent called for a meeing of the officers and Kokichi to discuss the next mission.
Vincent was greeted to the site of crew awating their next orders,as well as Kokichi sticking out like a sour thumb, as the only personal on the entire ship who was not dressed in an imperial uniform. Reminding himself that he still had not made Kokichi an official member of the empire.
Finally Vincent began to address the crew on their next mission." All right everyone, we have our next mission, from what has been reported a small group of a couple of hundred rebels have taken up arms against the empire. Their leader has been reported to a jedi, which is why we have been assigned to this task. the higher up believe that to be false, that the rebel leader is impersonating a jedi to gain favour and recruit more rebels to his course."
One of the officers raises a hand to speak" so what is he using as proof to be a jedi sir"
"What they all use a light saber, probably picked of a corpse"
Anothrt officer sighs." It's always a light saber."
Continuing on with his report." The rebels seem to hiding within an old Republic base, so it will be well protected. We will be using a single AT ST to draw their attention the the front of the compound, while a small elite group will be sneaking in the back eliminating those that stayed behind before moving forward."
With a sniker an officer asks."Who will be dealingwith the fake jedi sir."
"Kokichi Muta, our newest member will be handling the suspect. With this he can prove himself to the empire and the rest of you why I view him in high regards."
With a look that screemed slight betrail Kokichi raised his attention to the mission." I don't believe I'm ready yet I haven't finished all the preparation."
Vincent realising that Kokichi was still unsure of the path he truly wanted to take in this new galaxy, Vincent put on the cockest shit eating grin possible, as he pulled out his ace."I will let you be co piolet in the walker on this mission if you except."
Over the last day or so Vincent had been slowly but surely trying to completely win Kokichi over to his side and as he saw it all he needed was one last straw to brake the cammles back.
And that is just what happend, Kokichi finally folded to the prospect of controlling an ATST.even with the grin planted on his face Kokichi just couldn't say no this time." Very well then I'll join this mission."
With the meeting ending all the officer left exept of Kokichi and Vincent. As more still needed to ve said between them.
" With this I assume you have finally made up your mind."
"I truly was not sure at first, but yes I will join you and the empire."
With a kind smile Vincent spoke."good with first mission you will also have appotunity obtain your own light saber, that is if you can beat that rebel leader that is."
With an amused laugh coming from Kokichi." Hahah, lose, to a fake jedi now that would embarrassing."
The two contuned to talk for awhile longer before finally heading off, with more then a week before they arrived there was work to be done.
As time past abord the Oblivion, it finally exited hyper space arriving above a blue plant littered with deserts. Not to long latter a transport ship carrying an empiral walker exited the ships hanger heading towards the planet.
Within close proximity of the rebel base the ATST was dropped off. And was heading toward the front entrance.
Inside was an excited Kokichi, or at least his newest puppet was anyway, with Kokichi safely controlling his puppet above orbit.
As the walker grew ever closer to the compound I felt truly invisible inside this walking tank, this feat of empire engineering.
As the first signs of rebels begain showing themselves firing apon this Machine. I responded in kind, firing the front torrents towards them, with each blast being so powerful that nothing remaind once hit whether that were buildings or people.
Building begain to crumble as people scurried out trying to save themselves only to end up as the next target the ATST main weopen. Next to him the head piolet Commented.
" the first time in one of these had feeling the same way, truly unstoppable. Now fire the grenade launcher toward that cluster of rebels to your left."
Doing as the other piolet instructed I fired the walkers grenade launcher. With a resounding explosion all was abliterated only leaving chucks of what where once people on the floor.
As I locked on to my next target firing the torrents, something remarkable took place a man weilding light saber jumped in the way defecting shot heading toward him away. With the grace of a true swordsman.
" so that must be the inposter, I'll give him credit he's pretty skilled with saber." Saying this I got up from my seat and opened the hatch of the walker, and jumping on to the land below.
Going back a bit inside the rebels hq, a ship was detected above orbit alerting alerting the rebels to take action." I want everyone in defensive positions, the empire has finally come for us."
Not much longer I saw an fear bring emperial walker heading this way, strangly with no storm troopers following it.
The unprepared and untrained rebels charged the walker believing with superior numbers victory could be theirs. But I knew better, the horrors of the ATST were not to be underestimated as it destroyed everything within it path.
Finally seeing enough I jumped in to save a promising young rebel, deflecting the blast and renewing the hope within my men that we could still win and not to give in.
Reading myself for another blast that did not come, I frowned puzzled, why did they stop.moments later the walkers hatch opened and a figure jumped down.
This figure had the appearance of a human but was clearly a druid,and with black painted mentle it was a mencing figure. It stood there staring at me before opening its mouth.
With a robotic voice it spoke." You must be the fake jedi yes."
With an irritated click of the tough I respond." As you can see by the light saber him my hands, I am a jedi."
"Ha,a light saber does not make you a jedi fool."
With those words said it moved forward, throwing a punch in my direction. Using my saber to deflect his blow, I follow up with my own attack aiming to cut off his arm. Dodging my swing and counter attacking.
As the battle heated up neither side was giving an inch both knowing that receiving a single blow could spell their defeat. An endless cycle of deflecting, parrering and counter attacking the space around them receiving the worsed of this clash. As I fist came toward my head narrowly missing the attack that hit the building hehind my shatting the once sturdy wall into rubble.
The battle drawing near with more and more minor wound kept adding on, sapping his strength and stamina. Another strike shot forward aiming to cruch his skull, ready to defend, another strike bypassed his defence and struck his abdomen. Knocking the wind out of his lungs and sending he flying before crashing into a near by building.
With blood gushing from his body from the impact and vision hazy, he did not see the next attack coming. Slamming his head back into the wall with brutal force,before throwing him out into the open. The match finally looking over.
I pick up his fallen light saber putting up and igniting it show casing a beautiful green colour. I Iunged the weapon forward inpaling his chest, as crimson blood leakd from his mouth and the light in his eyes slowly faded signifying he death.
The last remaining rebels that saw this went mad with grief and charged toward me. Putting away my new weopen away, I coated my hand in cursed energy sending my hand swinging in the direction of the nearest target.
With out stopping his hand passed through his neck, separating his head from his body as a geyser of blood sprayed out before his body crumberling to the floor with a horrific thud.
I sweep my leg toward the next moraon, tripping him up before braking his back over my knee that left him just bearly alive but wishing he wasn't. The last one seeing this carnge backed of a little before receiving a cursed coated punch to the head that sent his body hurddling through the air, before colliding with a half crumberling building, smashing what left of his body into a thick paste.
Finishing up Kokichi turned around to see the other purge trooper heading in his direction signifying the mission completeence.
