Burning Skies Saloon Quest: Past, Present, and Future
RearAdmiralZill:
-Narrator-
The teams split to opposite sides of the room. Zill's was on the left wing, with Yiski's on the right. Zill yelled over the gunfire coming from the stairwell in front of them with men holding them back.
Yiski! Take your group to the cannons! When reinforcements get here, they cant be running! We will cover you and take out the flak grid!
Yiski only nods. Jun throws another loch grenade to cover the stairs. Once it explodes, Yiski's team heads out via the right wing. Zill and his team go through the left wing.
The tower was massive, rising 75 stories into the air. According to Jun'ko, the control systems for the Flak grid should be on floor 66. Zill and his team got to the elevators. They were guarded and another firefight broke out. The team took cover behind some pillars. The soldiers with them had smoke grenades. They popped two over to the elevator doors. Once the smoke filled the room, the birdmen started firing randomly. Once they had to reload, Zill ran up and took out two guards. More started coming from the opposing hallway, guns blazing. A few bullets grazed his armor. He hid near the doors. Shink and Papa were firing down the hallway for cover fire as Jun ran over to Zill at the doors.
You ok??
Yea just some grazes. How many loch grenades you have?
Just three more.
Save em. We need to get these elevators open. Find the keys on the guard.
The smoke was clearing as the two sides traded fire. Jun'ko found the keys and called the elevator. Zill pushed her from the door as it opened. Three guard were ready for the doors to open inside. Zill charged in, shooting the first guard. He punched the second guard, but the third guard got a shot off into Zill's armor point blank. Zill returned the favor to the unarmored man and kicked the last one unconscious. Moments later Jun ran in to see Zill kneeling down.
Skies one of those shots hit you didnt they?
Ill be fine. Get the others in here. We need to move before they shut these down.
Guys lets go!
The team pops more smoke and makes their way to the doors. A soldier is hit in the arm and Papa has a few bullets bounce off his legs. With everyone inside they pressed 66, and the doors closed. They could catch their breath and reload, but only for so long.

Shinkurex:
*Shink Catches his breath on the ride up to the 66th floor. He takes out dual pistols and preps for the eventual onslaught of Bullets. The Elevator dings, and before the first soldier leaves, Shink stops him and throws a specialty grenade.*
"Take Cover, and Gas masks on!"
*On impact, the grenade explodes in a cloud of tar choking the life out of the would be ambushers. Zill just looks at Shink*
"What? you're the one who gave me the idea"
Yiski:
--NARRATOR--
Yiski, Roland, BdrLine, Ny-Lee and the three Imperials assigned to Ny-Lee started down a long corridor on the main floor, heading in the direction of where the hidden cannons were. The group was making decent progress when shots were coming in front. Yiski managed to spot a makeshift bunker with a couple of soldiers firing at them. The team immediately took over behind a few pillars.
Everyone get to cover! Imperials, give me some suppressing fire and I'll get rid of that excuse of a bunker.
The Imperials looked to Ny-Lee at first.
Do as he says.
The Imperials then started laying down suppression fire which allowed Yiski to line up a shot. Yiski fired and his Sunburst round hit one soldier in the head.
Wait for it....
Suddenly, the sunburst round ignited and exploded giving off its signature red smoke. Instinctively, the Imperials rushed the position and took out any soldiers still disoriented by the round. Yiski and the others met up.
You Imperials aren't to bad to have around.
The team continues down the corridor until they come upon a large marble door. Yiski pushes the door, but it doesn't budge.
You fellas wouldn't have any breaching charges would you?
We each have one, but it won't be enough to breach this door.
Give me them anyways. I have an idea.
Yiski takes the three breaching charges and takes a few sunburst round out of his rifle's magazine. When Yiski started to work on an improvised explosive, additional soldiers appeared from the corridor and opened fire. BdrLine, Ny-Lee, and one Imperial were pinned behind a large statute; Roland, and the other two Imperials were set up behind two pillars; and Yiski was set behind another statue working.
Roland! Take Blood Bolt and open fire!
Yiski slides his rifle over to Roland who picks it up.
I have no idea how to handle a rifle!
Just aim it at them. The sunburst rounds should give enough suppression to help the others.
Roland took a deep breath and thought to himself.
I can do this. Ny-Lee needs me.
Roland popped up from cover and time seemed to slow down for him. Roland recalled the basic instruction Yiski gave him when he was pistol training. Roland took a shot at the group of soldiers closest to Ny-Lee. His shot missed, but the explosion and red smoke was enough for the pinned group to regroup and lay down return fire.
Good job Roland! Now keep it up.
It would be a few minutes until Yiski would be ready.
BdrLineAzn:
*As BdrLine, Ny-Lee , and the third Imperial regroup with the others, they take positions among the pillars.*
*All of their weapons are trained down the hallway as they wait for Yiski and his makeshift explosion*
*Aiming down his sights*
Yiski how much more time do you need?
*As soon as BdrLine finishes his question, two smoke grenades roll into the hallway*
Damn. Keep you head on a swivel people. Brother I don't think you brought you launcher with you?
Sorry, smashed when we crashed land. I would say that would be useful right now
*As the smoke fills the hallway, thumping can be heard as well as multiple foot steps.*
*Once it clears, two heavy soldiers are out in the open wearing heavy armor with 8 Birdmen taking cover behind some pillars. *
*The heavy soldiers are carrying gating guns and are firing at their position*
Yiski I think it's about time to OPEN that door now. Damn some one toss a gernade over there.
*one of the Imperial Guards unpin a loch grenade and toss it over*
*The explosion takes out 3 Birdmen, but it didn't put a scratch at the heavy troops*
Damn again
Yiski:
*Yiski finishes the new improvised breaching charge and places the charge against the door under heavy fire. Yiski then dashes toward the group.*
FIRE IN THE HOLE!
*The charge detonates and causes the both marble doors to come crashing down, causing a massive plume of smoke and dust.*
*The team manages to advance through the door. The Imperials set up behind the rubble and the other form behind either side of the archway.*
*The team, with better firing positions start returning their own heavy fire, but to little effect against the heavy troopers.*
Roland, hand me Blood Bolt. I got somethin' special for them.
*Roland hands Yiski his rifle. Yiski then changes the magazine out for a new one. The magazine had a different marking than the sunburst rounds.*
What rounds are those?
Piercing thermite. Watch and learn.
*Yiski fires two shots into two heavy troopers. The rounds manage to pierce their armor and within seconds their armors start glowing bright red. The team could hear the two screaming out in massive pain. Soon enough, the two heavy troopers fall to the ground and a small amoung of red hot liquid could be seen eating through the armor.*
Two down and three to go.
*Yiski fires two more shots, taking out two more heavy troopers. Before Yiski could take out the third, the heavy trooper managed to fire a scattershot which graze Yiski's left leg. Yiski drops to a knee and BdrLine grabs him back behind the archway.*
I'm alright. Just a graze.
*Yiski knew it hurt much more than a mere graze, but he had to fight the pain. He got prone and shot and fell the last heavy trooper.*
