Ray walks through the best of a ship wandering about how many lives it had,and will,take. He found a training room and started a round with a CTD. He had a nice long match and after a long day what do you do??? Take a nice,long,well-earned brake...In the lounge!!! Ray being a little lazy today sat over on a chair and dozed off. A captain walked by and woke him up with a loud shout.
"Get up you lazy dog! We don't rest until 'lights out' is ordered! You can sit there just don't sleep!"
So he just 'sat there' with a sour face.
An officer walked to Ray and handed him over a datapad. It held all the information Ray required. It was a Senator called Anoram Vespo who represented some planets in the outer rim. They were sure he leaked secret information to the Rebellion, but he was seen as an important man. You couldn't hire any man or bounty hunter for this assassination. No somebody with skill was required and this was exactly what Storm Assassins were bred for.
He had an appartment in the Senatorial District. A man of 5'11, age 56. He had short black hair with a small beard. He was barely seen in public cause he knew that he was in dangerous territories holding links to the rebellion. The datapad had an holo-image of him, so Ray would certainly recognize him. In any event, he couldn't fail. A Tie-Shuttle was waiting for him to transport him to Wesport - Coruscant.
Ray hopped up and saluted the captain.
"He'll be dead by the end of the week,"
Ray was happy that some action came into his life. He walked down to the docking bay and boarded the Tie-shuttle. It took him to Westport.
As Ray left the Medical Wing a trooper came rushing down the hall. He stopped Ray and held out a few papers.
"Sir,the commander sent me to tell you that a fleet of-" A thunderous explosion interrupted him, "Rebels are attacking the ship!"
The ship was filled with the noises of alarms and troopers runing down the hall.
"Well how did they sneak in?! We should have noticed them!"
The trooper replied with a confused voice,"Well sir there are only three x-wings and few bombers. They might have just ran into us on accident,"
Ray thought for a second,"There is something wrong here...They are planning something! Make sure there isn't a fleet headed this way!"
The trooper ran off through the hall. Then Ray started towards the hangers. He was going to check it out from the outside. It wasn't like the Rebels to get lost and they were so clever so it'd be hard to figure it out.
Ray reached the hangers and found a Tie Intercepter. He got in and took off from the ship. When he got out there was only three X-wings with two Y-wings. He made sure to stay away from them but keep an eye on them. They were good too,dodgeing all the defense turrents and destroying Tie Fighters left and right! Ray then relized he had no experiance flying a ship! He only knew ow to fly from talking to a few Tie Pilets back on Kamino. He looked around for a manual or something to help him but there was nothing. He flicked a few swithces and pushed a few buttons until the thing fired off a few shots.
"Ok now time to fight!"
He turned the Tie Intercepter towards one of the X-wings but it mearly roled away from any shots fired at it from Ray. Ray locked on and fired a few missles but found the missles going into The Devastator! He turned back towards the docking bay because he knew he'd be more use on it then anywhere but he didn't even get close before one of the X-wings shot his wing. Ray managed to land the damaged Tie. He got out and went into his personal room. He layed down and listened to the explosions and all the orders that were shouted. He listened as someone screamed that one of the X-wings had landed in the docking area but no one was in it. He listened to all the shots fired down the hall and he knew what was happening...
Ray was interrupted by a group of troopers. They were frantic and one of them was reporting with his mouth going a thousand miles a minute.
“SirtheRebelsdidhaveanotherfleetand-,”
”Now listen if you’re going to give me bad news at least let me understand it…” Ray said softly.
The trooper took a deep breath and said again but much slower, “Sir, the Rebels did have another fleet. It contains nearly twenty Mon Calamari ships,”
Ray’s jaw wanted to drop but he was to battle hardened for this. He stood up and left his chambers while ordering the men to prepare every last fighter for battle. If we are to die let it be with honor he thought. He went through the halls coaching the troops and trying to boost morale. It worked because after a while all the troops were in formation and ready to kill some scum! Ray went back to his quarters and equipped himself in his assassin gear. He ran down the halls while the ship was being pummeled to hell, it was as if the entire galaxy had opened fire on The Devastator. When Ray reached the hangers he hopped on a transport and ordered the pilot to take him to the lead ship. The pilot protested but started the ship and went off into space. When Ray saw how many ships there were he was awe struck. Never before had he seen hundreds and hundreds of men and women willing to give their lives in on place.
Ray started mumbling to himself, “If they will give their lives,” He spoke up, “LET’S TAKE THEM!!!”
The craft screeched on narrowly dodging missiles and lasers when the transport got into the sea of ships though there was no dodging them. Missile after missile slammed into the ship.
“Can’t this piece of crap go any faster?!” Ray demanded to know.
“Sir this is a top notch ship,”
“I don’t care unless-” another missile smashed into them, “Just get me there in one piece and I’ll personally promote you!”
After another two minutes they’d made it. The transport landed into the enemy hanger and Ray exited just in time to avoid the explosion that happened on the transport. Guess he won’t be getting that promotion. Ray used his former training to duck and dodge around the Rebels. He actually got out of the hanger without any confrontation but when he into the halls he no choice but to face down a group of six Rebels…Ray had no trouble defeating the men though. He dragged one into a corner and switched out clothes. He could now sneak around with no problem. He went through the halls and followed the signs to the engine room and destroyed the engines. Just nineteen more to go…this is messed up! He ran back down to the hangar and hijacked a transport and went on to the next. Ray had a plan, destroy the engines and the targets are much easier to hit. He also wanted to see if he could find the commander of this fleet. So he went on to destroying more and more engines until the fourteenth ship then he overheard two Rebels talking about ship two.
“If the commander had just not accepted Operation Freedom then maybe we wouldn’t be facing down the most destructive force in the galaxy!” Said the first Rebel.
“Yeah but remember The Hero is the best ship in the fleet,” Said the second.
That was it! Ray new he’d seen that second Mon Calamari ship before! It was The Hero and it contained the commander! He went back to the hangers but someone recognized his uniform and new it wasn’t him.
“Hey you! What are you doing with my brothers uniform?!”
Ray turned and fired of a few rounds then turned tail and sprinted for the hangars. He jumped in his hijacked transport and rode off to The Hero. Over the radio heard that an odd man with Private Lank Soto’s uniform had taken off towards The Hero.
“I new something bad had to happen! I just new it!”
He snuck back onto The Hero and was immediately shot in the arm after stepping out. Ray hunkered down behind the ship and started to brainstorm a way out…HE HAD IT!! He stepped out and put his hands in the air.
“I’m sorry but Soto was shot by a trooper but I’m not a trooper. I’m a spy against the Empire,”
The Rebels waited for a minute then said, “Then what’s the code?”
Ray’s jaw dropped. There was a code? For what?! Why couldn’t they just accept a lie?
“The code is…” he thought a moment, “Freedom,”
The Rebels lowered there weapons and went on. Ray’s knees almost buckled but he went on into the ship and started reading the signs for the commander’s room. After getting lost and seeing the same hall six times he finally found it. He blew it down and there sat the commander. He was old and his hair was gone but he had the voice of a true fighter.
“WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!” said the old man
“I’m here for you commander. The Empire doesn’t appreciate you trying to do harm to us,”
The commander smiled and pulled a blaster pistol. Ray dived for the man and almost suffered a head shot. He tackled the man and then pinned him to the wall.
Ray barked, “I am order you to call this attack off and you will live!”
The commander broke into tears talking about his kids and other stuff he held dear but Ray didn’t budge so the commander gave an order.
“This is Commander Gyll...now listen and listen good…DON’T STOP FIGHTING!!! NO MATTER WHAT!!!”
Ray hit the man in the back of the head and he collapsed on the floor. He then picked up the body of Gyll and commenced to sneak out back to his transport then back to The Devastator. He went to his commander’s room and laid the body of the once great Commander Gyll on the floor.
“I expect a some extra credits for this!” Ray laughed.
He then went back to see that all but three of the Mon Calamari were destroyed and those had engines so they retreated at full speed.
