Chereads / Star wars: Kriegsman / Chapter 2 - No Mercy!

Chapter 2 - No Mercy!

My brothers, sisters and I made a force of ten, we found ourselves in a desolate sandstorm. We traversed the sand dunes, and moved through the sandstorm with ease.

Upon our walk we found a little building in the middle of the desert, my brothers and sisters went to inspect these weird machines that looked like the imperium jetbikes, I didn't share their curiosity and walked inside.

Once inside I saw the presumed owners of the jetbikes outside, all huddled in a corner talking to themselves. I walked over to the counter and a muscular lady stood in front of me. "What can I get ya?"

"I need information."

"Sure, but I don't know a lot besides the basic." The lady spat into a cup and cleaned it with a rag.

"What planet is this?" The lady looked confused.

"This is Tatooine?" The lady furrowed her eyebrows.

"Where is the closets place I can get a lot of information?"

"Ah, that would be Mos Espa, if you head in that direction-" She pointed in the direction a strange rock formation. "- You'll reach Mos Espa in around 2 days walk, and 5 hours if you have a speeder bike." I pondered on this information and sat there in silence.

The lady was a bit uncomfortable and moved into the back. The group that was in the corner, one of them decided to come up and loop an arm around my shoulders. "Hey~ buddy, I couldn't help but overhear that you're going to Mos Espa, me and my friends have-"

I wrapped my arm around the man's neck and hooked his leg with my other arm, picking him up and slamming him on top of the counter. With his head dangling off the edge, I gripped my hands together and slammed his head until I heard a crack.

The rest in the corner were shocked at first, but they reached for their weapons. The closest man wielded a knife and tried to strike. I dodged the strike and shoulder bashed him back into the corner.

After a few failed attempts of killing me, I walked out the door, and the thugs gave chase. They didn't make it far.

My brothers and sisters were set up around the building with their guns raised. They fired through the windows, turning everything into statistic. I saw the men get eviscerated, their faces turned to pure shock and terror as the lasers ripped through their flesh, leaving only a red mist.

Once the building was littered with holes, and the interior had been painted red, I walked into the building and my brethren followed. My brothers and sisters checked what's left of the corpses while I went to the back.

Once in the back, I found the lady from before splayed against the wall, she only had half her face, and her body had huge chunks set up for decoration. I searched the place, only finding a few silver and bronze cards. I stashed them away and walked back out to my brothers and sisters.

"What have you found?" I asked my brethren.

"We found silver, bronze and gold cards, we assume it's currency here." One of my brothers spoke up.

"Also we found the keys to those jetbikes out there."

We made out ways to the bikes and started them up. The bikes roared awake and hovered off the ground, and kept a low hum as it stayed still.

We all hopped on one each and practiced the controls, and getting use to this type of transportation. After a few minutes, we got the hang of the controls and we started to ride in the direction the strange rock formation.

We rode for a few hours before arriving at a canyon. We didn't know anything about this planet, so we kept caution to a maximum.

Our bikes echoed through the canyon as we sped through. We got to the part of the canyon where there was only a straight path. Since I was in front and leading, I had the job of scouting.

When I spotted movement on top of the canyon, I saw the glint of a scope. I raised my hand in the direction of the glint and all my brethren shot at the glint.

The barrage of red lasers, obliterated the canyons edge, turning it into a dust cloud. The figure fell from the edge, and splattered on the canyon floor, exploding into a blood spurt.

We hopped off our bikes and investigated the figures. Human size, wrapped in cloth, some variation of gas masks, a bandolier, and a scoped rifle.

"What is it?" One my brothers asked behind me.

I unwrapped the cloth and it revealed a zombie. One of my brethren opened fire on the figure, turning it into mush.

"Xeno chaos scum." The sister who fired on the figure walked back to her bike.

I picked up the gun and slang it over my shoulder, before going back to my bike.

***

We continued our path through the canyon, on the way we saw something that made all our blood boil.

Xenos working with humans.
