Chapter Two: The Battle of HothMatch Three: EliminationRound Eight: Preparing an AmbushInside Echo BaseAfternoon, Snowstorm (Manageable), 42 Months ABY (On Earth, 7/19/2016) At the eve of a battle lays an Assault Team, and at the center of it...is non-combatant Princess Leia, but NRDL is still vital to the mission. NRDL continues practicing his skills by running more calculations in his head, advancing through several mathematics problems, each one a slight bit more difficult then the last. [2+2] While he does go through some of them with flying colors, he can't seem to beat some of the problems. Perhaps it's because of the stress of Warfare, perhaps it's the opposition, or perhaps it's the fact that the psychopath who brought them here is currently hovering over the place. NRDL looks down at his Thermal Detonator, the small, spherical grenade glowing with a red light to show it's ready, and
swears that when he looks up, he sees something in the base, or rather, someone. They appear to look exactly like him, with some big differences. Their clothes appear singed, and their skin is black and burned, as if they had just been lit on fire or gotten too close to a bomb. NRDL rubs his eyes, and when he opens them again, he finds nothing there, no footsteps or anything in the vicinity. He holds his head as though he has a headache before going back to a meeting area that Luke set up for the Wiki-Warriors.
Sir Intrigue checks his gun, and finds he has 4 shots, a shot full of pellets having been previously fired at a Snowtrooper during the previous battle. He places another shell into the gun, and pulls the lever, loading the round in with a satisfying click. Intrigue then walks to the Armory, eyeing the entrance as he walks towards it. As soon as he walks in, he looks around for the very meager selection of weaponry. He looks around the racks for some armor. [6] He finds some standard Rebel gear, so it's pretty decent armor, but nothing that'll work long term in a heated battle without some repair and reinforcement. He then tries to look through a few pocket areas for some Thermal Detonators. [6] He finds a single Thermal Detonator after searching through several pockets. After he grabs it, he turns and leaves, heading to the Meeting Area Luke set up.
Hawk, the man with the drugs of power, searches around all of the areas he's allowed to go. The reason being that he's trying to find a melee weapon, something that works with his Buffout to maximize damage. [6] He finds a lead pipe, slightly bent at the tip due to having fallen and impacted the ground. Hawk picks it up and waves it around to get a feel for it. It's light, but good enough to do damage with. He picks it up, and heads to the Meeting Area.
Lady Porkins walks around Echo Base with a helpful grin on her face, her feet hitting the metal floor in a quickened pace. She walks around the base, trying to find anything she can help with. [4] While she does have things to do, they are not important to the ambush itself. From performing repairs on some rifles to patching up some soldiers, Lady Porkins tries to make the most of her menial tasks. [8] She does each task quite easily, rushing through them with the same precision as someone taking their time. Lady Porkins does her work, and then rushes to meet with Luke and the rest.
Abstract Traitor Hero, slapping himself awake, walks into the Meeting Area and begins playing music in an attempt to inspire them! [6] He plays
a familiar tune, and while it isn't an amped up song, it does lift the Assault Team's spirits, somewhat, and everyone gets ready for a battle.
Located at the F.O.B is the striped shirt wearing DigitalDemon, sitting in the cold snow floor of the camp as he watches the Snowtroopers go about preparations for battle. Some of them are reloading their weapons, others are fixing up their wounds, and 3 more are running back to the Snowtroopers. One of said runners says, "
We found-", before panting. After catching his breath, he continues, "
We found the Rebel scum, but they had help. One of them charged into Trigger, and killed him pretty much instantly. The rest of them are probably coming this way as we speak.". At that, the rest of the Snowtroopers begin scrambling to grab their guns and Thermal Detonators. Demon springs up to his feet before trying to convince them to simply leave. [7+2] "
Everyone, stop! My allies, no matter who their allegiance is with, are only here to take down the 501st, an elite group that none of the humans under the Empire's pay roll can even join, and a Sith Lord who chokes his own men if they so much as let a Rebel out of this system. I understand loyalty, but blind trust in murderers and fiends of what's pretty much a forced dictatorship by a Sith Lord? Disgraceful. And even if you still support the Empire after what I just said, consider the fact that one of my allies charged into a man and killed him near instantly.". At that, everyone who is
not 501st either runs off in fear or walks off in betrayal, their guns slinged to their arm as they leave. They walk off, in the snow, to a transport in the distance. With only the 501st still here, DigitalDemon looks for them. [10] He not only finds them, but they
don't shoot him in the face immediately.
Guess carrying dead weight makes you a hero. He finally manages to see their full loadout as well. The Black Armored one appears to be some sort of stealth class, with only a Vibroblade to his name. His armor is sleek, and while it doesn't mesh with the white snow, it fits a blackened area...like Echo Base. The Red Armored one is, in fact, a heavy. Carrying a plasma Gatling Gun, he also appear to have some kind of Rocket Launcher strapped to his back, and despite wearing an emotionless helmet, his body language carries rage filled glee, as though he wants to kill everything in sight. The Blue Armor is a scout of some kind, with his dual blasters. When Demon looks closer, he notices some kind of Jump or Jet Pack on his back, prepared to charge into battle. Finally, the Officer. He's wearing Clone War era Republic Armor, of a white color with red highlights across his visor, arms and legs. He's carrying exactly what the Wiki-Warriors saw: a Slugthrower Pistol, a Vibroblade, and a pair of Binocs. He's in front of the other 3, ready to fire at a moments notice. Demon merely stands there in the presence of the Vader's Fist faction, a headache forming as he looks at each pistol.
The triad of monsters known as PirateJoe, Izzik, and Dretch stand there in the snow of Echo Base, obviously annoyed at the fact that something as simple as
wind stopped them dead in their tracks. The 3 of them wait for another opening, before charging back in for another ambush, or at least the preparedness for it. [2] They don't make it far, as the freezing temperature and the wind,
their arch nemesis, prevents them from moving any closer. Still, they're on the right track.
If the Demigod known as BiggerKhepri had human feet, he would be
stomping in violent frustration. He has tried peering to the snow, he's tried doing the same but with fire that time, and so it's time for the next step. BiggerKhepri does the obvious and flies up, circumventing the sight issue, but combining his sight with trying to keep out of his enemies sight. [3=Sneak] [9=Sight] BiggerKhepri flies right up to the camp, and sees the 501st for himself (see file://DigitalDemonII), but after seeing them, he lands...only for the Heavy to see the bug that he
thinks BiggerKhepri is. He attempts to step on BiggerKhepri, his large boot heading right for him! [2-2 (Size) v 8+2 (Size)] BiggerKhepri flies out of the way, causing the Heavy to slip and fall. He gets an automatic counter, [10+2 (Fire Magic Bonus) v 8-2] and fires a burst of Fire Magic at the Heavy, causing him to be catapulted into the air. When he lands,
everyone turns to see him. While still alive and in fighting condition, to say he's wounded is an understatement. His entire armor is breaking and warped into char-coiled black, and his gun was catapulted into the snow. As Demon covers his ears, another war begins...
Beirus sits back down, and looks over at Jess. He, once again, becomes calm and collected, though his voice is still quite shaky. Beirus goes over to the window and begins commentating. "
Well, it looks like a battle has begun at Forward Operating Base 79-281 N, thank you Jess for showing me that on the camera. It appears that BiggerKhepri has made an enemy with the 501st. Hey, Jess. You looked at the mission details, any nicknames for them?", turning to Jess Warner himself. As Veronica holds his hand and Logan brings him another glass of Fenrir Whiskey, Jess drinks it before saying, "
Uh, the sneaky one is ASA-2991, or Assassin, big sh-shocker there. The Heavy is BAN-9210 or Bantha, you know, those cow things from Tatooine? The Scout is NEA-3921 or Near, and the Officer is JAN-8210 or Janus.", to which Beirus only replies "
Thanks, Captain Exposition.". Jess just nods his head before drinking. Beirus then looks out the window to try and find something interesting to comment on. [7] And he finds something kind of...terrifying, if you think about it. He sees the familiar outfit, hair, and piercing purple eyes of the Operator right there in the snowbank, but before Beirus can say anything, the Operator looks up and smiles at Beirus before disappearing.
Luke calls all of the Wiki Warriors in Echo Base to the Hangar, now designated as the Meeting Area, along with Han, Chewie, Ara, and the 5 Rebels. Sir Intrigue, Hawk, NRDL, and Porkins. The Assault Team heads out, ready to battle...

Yes, I got three 6s in a row this turn. Because the Gods of Luck just love symbolism.
