[b]The other mercenarie aims his rifle at Rook as a last attempt to kill him[/b]
English
-
[b]Audax kicks him into a different building[/b]
-
[b]He barely is able to take the shot, Rook is hit in chest and falls to the ground.[/b]
-
[b]Audax jumps on top of the man and caves his head in with his hammer. Fortis rushes to Rook and pulls out some medical kit.[/b]
-
[b]Rook is knocked unconscious but still alive. [/b]
-
[b]Fortis shoves a strange metal device in the bullet hole. It mends to the damaged tissue and acts as a replacement.[/b]
-
[b]Rook wakes up, not knowing what happened.[/b] "Wait, where the -blam!- am I?"
-
"You are on an alien planet. Some mercenaries tried to kill you."
-
"Oh those assholes?" [b]Rook attempts to stand up, barely able to keep his balance.[/b]
-
"You know them?"
-
"Of course I know them, they used to gun-run, until they became mercenaries and turned their backs on me."
-
"That sounds quite rude of them."
-
"Yeah, I just didn't expect someone to put a bounty on me."
-
"Not many people expect a bounty to put on them, so that is a logical train of thought."
-
"Yeah, I just wish it wasn't my friends who would collect it. Anyways, so what were you guys trying to do again?"
-
"I am trying to find a guy who can help us save the dojo, and possibly the entire galaxy."
-
"Oh yes, you told me that. Sorry, mind blanked out after getting shot. So, you got room for one more to help out?"
-
"I have more than enough room for one more, and was about to beg you to join if that answers your question."
-
"Sounds good. I'll make sure I have enough anmo to last. Also, thanks for having my back against those mercenaries."
-
"No problem. First things first, we have to scale a citadel and kill its extremely powerful king. Then, we have to torch the city. That sound alright?"
-
"I've got plenty of leftover incendiary bombs we can use. How big is the city though?"
-
"Bigger than the surface of a small moon. Once we destroy the citadel though, the rest should be mop up work. Why, you might ask? Truth is I honestly don't know the full answer, but the king controls everyone of his subjects telepathically. If we kill him, his soldiers will probably go insane."
-
"Got it. That telepathy control power is going to be the biggest problem. Most likely the king will just force everyone to fight. Emotion is going to be the king's best weapon."
-
"Indeed. But he doesn't know we are coming yet. If we kill him fast enough, he may not even have the time to tell his soldiers to fight."
-
"Do you have stealth tech for enough soldiers to use to reduce the chance of detection? If not, I can quickly design and code some stealth tech to cloak armor."
-
"I have a few. How many do you need?"
