The Rebel Faction

The shuttle skipped along the atmosphere of the planet as it slowly made it's descent onto the battle field below. On both sides of the shuttle where two x-wing's, the two fighers soon peeled off once the shuttle got through the worst of the entry.

"Hand on!" Lavality yelled as she banked the shuttle to the right, narrowly avoiding a missile that had been launched from the surface. "Damn it..." she said to herself as she pulled the shuttle's nose up, but something caught the back side and slipped the shuttle end over end. Her back was against the chair as the G force's continued to push against her body, after several second's she finally managed to straighten the shuttle out.

Of couse, she then realized that they where missing something very important. "Ummmm... shit..." she said as she noticed one of the wing's was completely gone. Why the hell do these things always happen to me.... she wondered to herself as she fought the control's, but she was having a very difficult time trying to keep the craft steady.

She hit the reverse thrusters to slow there descent and noticed that she was slowing down a bit, but it wasn't enough to soften the landing. When the shuttle did hit the ground it slid across the rocky terrain, sheering off the last wing which did a barrel roll in the air before slamming into the ground upright.

The shuttle itself just kept on going on for a few minutes until it finally came to a stop, the wet ground assissted the shuttle by not destroying it upon contact. "Well... any landing you can walk away from.. is a good one..." Lavality said as she rubbed her forehead.

She undid her belt and got up. "Everyone ok back there?" She yelled at Trazu and Asri.

Lavality couldn't agree more, she walked over to the hatch and pulled the release lever which blew the hatch right off, or rather it was suppose to blow it off, but apperently a nice big rock was wedged between it and the door. "Well thats just great." Lavality said

She searched the shuttle before finding another escape route, she opened that hatch and jumped down onto the wet ground below. "It's safe." she called back up to the two inside. She surveyed the area and noticed no one was around. Odd... the area we crashed in was suppose to be a mine field, but there are no mine's on the sensor scanner she said while looking at her scanners.

Lavality nodded and stepped lightly over the ground, her foot slipping every now and then but not enough to cause her to fall into the mud. It took some time before they got to a field of rocks that was at the edge of the muddy field, there Lavality checked the terrain scanner and cursed. "Well... if the map is right... we are roughly three miles off course. The base is to the east of us." she pointed behind her. "However, we may have already been spotted. According to the map there was suppose to be-" she said this just as a blaster bolt slammed into the rock next to her, she instantly ducked in response.

Blaster fire poured over a hill as six enemy soldiers ran over it.... heading right into the mine field.

Lavality sighed. "And get us all wet in the process." she said as they made there way across the ground.

While walking she checked the scanners and also listened in on the combat traffic, there was a lot already going on at the front of Miknak's base. While the majority of the heavy armor couldn't be brought in due to the heavy rains, worse, the weather was creating havoc with the air power so there fighter's couldn't come in for any bombing runs either.

"This will be interesting, no air power, very limited armor, man. Talk about an assault.." Lavality said to herself as they made it over a hill, she stopped briefly to wipe the water from her eyes before continueing.

"And we can't risk radioing any forces in the area, our bombers might accidently get the coordinates wrong and drop there bombs on the wrong targets." Lavality said as she peered down the binoculars. "Of course, you could throw a jedi mind trick at them and make them think that something is approuching from the other-" she said before hearing something, she dropped down behind the cover of the bushs.

On the other side a patrol walked right up to the bushes, but apperently didn't see them. "I wonder how our forces are doing?" one of the patrolman said

"Don't know, but I hear that bitch has thrown everything she has into this assault." Another one said

Lavality's hand curled up into a fist, she wanted to sock him one but knew better.

The other patrolman unzipped his fly and walked over to a tree to relieve himself. A very evil and mischivious grin formed on her face as she picked up a scorpion that was hiding out from under the rock. She put it in a cloth and, waiting until the guards where looking away, gentally tossed it over to where the patrolman was.

She watched as the scorpion, who was now pissed after being disturbed, got out of the cloth and up toward the tree.

The next thing they heard was very loud yelp as the scorpion obiously didn't appriciate being assault, for lack of a better word. The other patrolman ran over to there comrade and saw the scorpion handing on for dear life. "Damn it get it off!" the patrolman yelled.

Lavality covered her mouth with her hand in an effort to suppress a laugh. After a few minute's the scorpion released it's claw and ran off into a small hole in the tree. "Geez....." the patrolman who had just been assault said as he walked off back toward the base, his comrades following him.

"Teach you to call me a bitch...." Lavality snarled as she watched the guard tower. A few of the guards inside came down to see what the commotion was about, and instead decided to follow there fellow comrades into the base, leaving only one guard in the guard tower. "Hmmmm... three less to worry about." She grinned.
