WILD FORCE Opening (episode 1)

Influence Gained Evir: +5 (total 15)

Aýa narrows her eyes at hearing about red sith lightsaber that Oyo has, clearly not knowing anything abou it and it starts to worries her. "Perhaps there is a good explanation about the weapon he has." Evir nods: "I agree. Just because he looks different and scary and has a different colored weapon, does not mean everything is clear. Every person needs to be examined from all aspects and investigated in details before bringing such huge accusations. It is like an equation. One wrong numeral is enough to bring the wrong result of  entire calculation at the end."

Freya's Options:

1. [Flirt with Evir]
2. [Offer to help with hyperdive]
3. [Go to hangar and enter your ship]
a) Help in space battle
b) Board the enemy head ship
c) Escape (quit story)

Aýa nods back to Freýa and Evir stares from behind at Freýa as she leaves. The two of them continue their way towards the hyperdrive as Freýa beings to dance with her ship in the space battle. The shields resist the heavy fire by The Lyon's Pride, but they fall to 20%. The engines of the Imperial Head Ship remain undamaged. Two imperial hunters were sent and are after The Lyon's Pride. After scanning the empire realizes that this is not a republic ship. "She is not one of them." One of the pilots reports to the captain of Head Imperial Ship who stands in the center of the bridge. The Captain looks through the window into the space battle and then gives orders to fire with heavy cannon of the Head Ship at the Lyon's Pride. "It will take more than simple hunters to take this bird down. Open heavy fire!" The rain of rockets fall upon the Lyon's Pride. Some of the rockets are following the heat of the Lyon's Pride and cannot be easily avoided.

Freýa's options:

1. [Lead the rockets towards the weak engine shield.]
2. [Lead the rockets towards the bridge.]
3. [Fly Roll to trick the rockets to hit each other.]
4. [Lead the rockets towards the signal jamming antenna on the ship]
5. [Custom]

On the White Cloud Aýa reflects blasters back to imperial shooters as she escorts Evir to the hyperdrive room. There he begins his repairs on the damaged hyperdrive as the quakes on the White Cloud continue to shake the ship. "Oh how did I fall so low, this is the job of a simple technicians, not someone who's place is at the bridge at the computers." Evir starts to complain and turns Axo on. Aýa shakes her head and sighs at Evir's words. More and more imperial troopers being to enter the hyperdrive room, slowly overwhelming the one padawan who stands alone against them all. Axo: "How did you dare to turn me off? I thought that we spoke about this sir ... oh a battle, how a nice view to have after the wake up." Evir: "Not this again Axo ... I need to fix this ... Axo: Oh I see you are now fixing stuff. Did you allow that Miraluka to take your position within the crew, and now you are sent here in the basement to ... Evir: "She did not take my position ... Axo ... she left us .. it was too good to be true. But it is better this way. Because this way I will still be the most smart person on this ship." Aýa: "Maybe smart, but not alive, stop arguing and finish the repair! I cannot hold them for so long!"

Freýa fools the following rockets and tricks them in hitting the signal jamming antenna on the Empire Head Ship that fired the same rockets. Imperial astromech droids begin the fast repairs, but as the signal was clear for the short period of time thanks to the Lyon's Pride, the red light beings to shimmer with sos signal on a jedi ship Forsaken with only few seconds away with light speed from the space battle. The young jedi Xelon who is flying with the ship of his master, Forsaken, the closest ship that could be found in the sector, receives the coordinates from the position of the White Cloud, and recognizes the coding message on his computer.

Xelon's Options:

1. [Lightspeed to space battle to aid the White Cloud]
2. [Abandon the call for help]

1. [Lightspeed to space battle to aid the White Cloud]

The Forsaken was already on its way to Callos, it was the nearest ship to the planet thus recieving the short transmission quickly.
"We must aid them, Xelon, send a request for help from Coruscant and change direction"
Kenero instantly responded and changed direction to aid the others in their fight, and at the same time try to save as many as he can.
When they arrived, Xelon was stunned by what he has seen: "My god, I've never been near a star destroyer, that  ship-"  He then points at the White Cloud  "-must have had a hard time holding together, master, what are we going to do?"
A worried face strikes Kenero as he sees the fight. He then proceeds to start a transmission with White Cloud.
"Republic ship, this is the Forsaken and we are here to assist you in anyway we can, if you need any help in the ship or if you're under attack then open a dock bay and let us join you, otherwise we'll help the other ship to stagger that Destroyer. May the force be with you. -Transmission ends.

The Lyon's Pride is still unseen to the ship Forsaken, as Forsaken slowly flies from behind of the White Cloud. The Empire Head Ship, the Destroyer, calls its hunters back to its hangars, but Destroyer itself continues with heavy fire at the White Cloud. There is nothing left of the small republic ships that left hangars of the White Cloud for the space battle. They, and their pilots are destroyed and float in empty space. Hangars on the White Cloud are opened and the most of the ship is on fire. But the White Cloud is still holding against the Destoryer. Xelon can sense the life still on the White Cloud, even now in its critical condition. But nobody seems to respond on his message. Scanners on his ship detect the low shield on one of the Destoryer's engines. Destroying them may slow down the Destoryer to give speed advantage to the White Cloud. The White Cloud's engines are healthy, but for some reason, the ship is not entering the light speed, and is trying to escape the heavy rain of attacks from the huge Destroyer that follows in every step. The White Cloud slowly begins to change its course and moves under Destoryer, going in opposite direction of Destoryer, to gain advantage over the massive ship that needs more time to turn around.

Xelon's options:

1. [Fire missiles at Destoryer's Engine] - Requires Aim 10
2. [Board the White Cloud]
3. [Board the Destoryer]

2. [Board the White Cloud]
With the Destroyer's shields weakening for a brief moment, the engine is vulnerable, but Xelon is still a novice at piloting and Kenero is an old man, so they decided not to take the chance.
After waiting for a few seconds with no response, Xelon suggests to go after that faint life he senses, and to board the White Cloud to investigate the situation. Kenero nods, Xelon then proceeds to dock in the open hanger despite the fires.
"We must continue with caution, as soon as we dock I want you to stay behind me. I will not risk you, I refuse to risk you. Kenero said.
Forsaken docks the White Cloud

The shields on the Destoryer's Engine start slowly to restore towards 100%. The Forsaken boarded on the White Cloud and it is now up to Lyon's Pride to finish the task should its pilot wish to fire at engines. But with the shields getting stronger more fire power and precision is needed (Requires 15 Aim if Freýa fires missiles at Destroyer's engine). Inside the hangar of the White Cloud, where the Forsaken landed, a battle is ongoing, between imperial troopers, and one man that stands alone against them all. A red lance lightsaber in his hands cuts through the flesh of screaming imperial troopers. Hands and heads fly in the air as the lightsaber sound becomes aggressive, and metal walls around the man receive red decoration of the imperial blood. They were not the only ones who screamed. The man with white head that wears republic trooper armor and is killing imperial troopers with undisciplined staff saber form, screams louder from them all, as a savage whos hunger for killing was unleashed after so long peace he had once. Disturbance in the Force is strong. When every his enemy falls down before his feet, he looks with the eyes of rage at the Forsaken's door entrance, and as they open, his heavy breathing ends, and he raises his staff saber, taking the position for attack, to attack anyone that may come out from the boarded ship.

While they're landing Xelon takes out his sabers -gift from his master- for the first time, and it can be seen on his face how he is worried, but yet excited to try them.
His master wields one blade with the Makashi form.
As they get off the ship, they notice the massacre and the man standing with his red saber, Kenero then instantly readies his saber and says "Stay behind me and do nothing foolish." in a calm manner.
He then readies himself for battle and asks the man: "Who are you? You wield a red saber yet you fight Imperials, explain your self, and know that we are not the enemy here."

The man with red staff saber looks up and down at the two. As they exchange words instead of blasters, the rage in rattataki's eyes fades away. After finally seeing clearly that it was jedi, he deactivates lightsaber and attaches it on his belt. He salutes the jedi and tries to give the obvious answer, if his republic trooper armor was not enough: "My name is Oyo, I am soldier of the White Cloud crew. All escape pods were used so I have been clearing this hangar from enemy to prepare ship for taking off. My saber is weapon from my past." Oyo's eyes then curiously fall upon the padawan behind the master.

Kenero and Xelon sheath their sabers. Then Kenero questions Oyo:
"Greetings, Oyo, what is the situation of the ship? Are there any other survivors? And for how long will your ship hold? And is there anything we can do to help? We have already sent for aid from Coruscant." He then looks at the saber: "As long as you use that saber for good, it will not concern me where it came from."
Xelon locks the ship behind them and he is amazed by Oyo's skill: "You killed these.. Imperials.. all by your self? You need to teach me a few tricks sometime!" He says with joy and amazement in his eyes.

Oyo: "Sir! The ship is heavily damaged. There are survivors but I do not know how many. General Rovel is dead. Padawan Aýa was last time seen heading towards hyperdrive. We cannot jump to light speed and all escape pods are used. The life support is at 14%. And many of the prisoners are set free. The number of enemy is also unknown, but few troopers that are still capable for fighting helped me push the enemy back, but we got separated, they are at lower levels now battling the imperial droids." When Oyo finishes report, he looks down at the padawan, and shyly looks away as he hears the comment. Perhaps Oyo is not aware of his skills. But there were only seven imperial troopers, which is usually a small number for lightsaber users to deal with.

Kenero is shocked by the report and it is obvious that he's lost deep in his thoughts.
"We must act at once, and with haste and caution, I am in no position to give you orders so I'll instead give you an advice: My ship is in pristine condition and it is capable of jumping to lightspeed, should the need arise, I wish you to bring as many survivors you can find here and take off to Republic space. As for now we can't worry about the General or the numbers so let's get to work: Xelon, accompany Oyo and try to find survivors while I go and attempt to rout enemies and prisoners back and try to find the Troopers, we'll need all the help we can get.
Xelon gets worried and tries to convince his master to take him:
" But you need me more than Oyo! One man is enough to gather the remaining survivors. I want to help you!"
He then looks at Oyo awaiting confirmation.

Oyo nods to confirm that he agrees with Jedi Master. He gives reassuring look at the Master, that he will watch over his padawan Xelon, and then he calls Xelon to follow him as he moves with running speed. He then attempts to contact padawan Aýa through the communicator on his left hand. He presses button and holds it as signal starts to beep. Oyo smiles as he sees that signal is working. "They were jamming our signal but it is clear now, I wonder how, we did not have enough fire power to take down their antenna, not even to get close enough on that Destroyer."

Xelon continues to follow Oyo carefully thinking he finally made a friend.
When Oyo said the happy news about signal working again, Xelon asked:
"Who was that? Is it another strong Jedi? Can I meet him? Where is he?"
Xelon is joyful and is excited to meet new people as his life on Tatooine was lonely and other than his master, he lived in solitude.

Holographic Aýa apears on Oyo's communicator on hand, and as she is fighting imperial forces, that Xelon and Oyo can see, she speaks to them: "Hyperdrive is under attack, I don't know how much longer can I hold them off. Evir is working on its repairs but ..." The call ends there as holographic image shimmers and Aýa moves away as she fights the enemy off. She was unable to continue the conversation.

Xelon is surprised that the other padawan is a female: "Oh, she's a woman. They seem to be in a lot of trouble, should we go help them or leave it to my master?"

Oyo nods to Xelon: "Yes, we gotta help them. Let's move towards the hyperdrive." Xelon and Oyo run through the halls of White Cloud until they arrive at broken closed door that wont open. The console seems to be destroyed in battle and some wires are hanging. The door try to open on the approach but they only move few centimeters, which is useless for any human sized creature to pass. Xelon outranks soldier in republic, so it is up to him how to handle the situation. Oyo impatiently waits for his plans.

Xelon's options:

1. [Use lightsaber to cut passage through the metal door, or tell Oyo to do so, it is longer and slower process]
2. ["Play" with wires to open the door with destroyed console, or tell Oyo to do so] - Requires Cunning 10
3. [Use Force to tear the door apart, or tell Oyo to do so] - Requires Force 15
4. [Find another way around]

4. [Find another way around]
Xelon is nervous about the fact that he is the one to give commands, for he has never led before.
He looks at the thick metal door and realizes it'd take too long with sabers and that someone could be saved in that time, he is afraid he'd get electrified if he tried to mess with cables, and his Force is still growing and it is yet to reach a power that could be used.
Xelon is confused and when he turns for advice from Oyo he sees how Oyo's waiting for an order, so he decides to start searching for another way in.
" It would take too long to open this door, longer than we can spare, so I say let's try to find another way in, there must be another way in.

Oyo nods to Xelon. "There is an elevator this way." Oyo shows Xelon the way as he moves with running speed. But before they were able to arrive at the elevator, imperial troopers and droids were standing on their way. They open fire at Xelon and Oyo. Oyo activates his lightsaber and begins to deflect blasters back to imperials. Taking the path to find another way around was definitely the choice of slowest and longest path. With enemy on the way, this is going to be a big delay. Can Aýa and Evir hold on their own by then, or will it be too late?

Aýa strikes down another droid and looks at the door from where she expects reinforces to arrive. But as nobody is coming, she raises her lightsaber again at the enemy. "How is the hyperdrive?" - Aýa asks quickly as she holds the saber up. "Almost done. I just need to ..." - Evir starts to answer to Aýa's question and is being interrupted by being shot at from behind. Oyo and Xelon did not arrive on time to save them. Evir collapses down, without finishing hyperdrive repairs. "Evir no!" - Aýa yells out his name as she sends Evir's shooter in a wall with force wave. But she does not have time to check Evir's condition as she is being attacked by others, and would place her life at risk if she lowers the guard.

Oyo snaps out from gawk as the last imperial falls in the hall, and he stares at the woman that revealed her face and she may not be a rattataki, but she definitively knows how to speak as one in Oyo's opinion. As he approaches to the elevator door, he turns once more to look at her, over his shoulder: "Who are you?"
