Vyzion's head swirled; everything was moving so fast. Shapes were blurring in his vision, death cries and rifle shots melded to become a torrential rush in his ears.

He was sitting in the dropship watching the Amarrians fight the shadow warriors blankly, swaying slightly from side to side. His hands were shaking and he realised the adrenaline of the past few days, fueled by the age-old fight or flight mechanism of the human body, was running low. The Gallentean was dead tired, and under his pilot dropsuit's helmet, his eyes were glazed and bloodshot.

He rested a hand on the dirty floor of the dropship, feeling the hum of the engines. Breathe. Blinking, he looked back out. Thal's Amarrian troops were arrayed around the dropship, and a thick black swath of shadow warriors lay around them. They had fought well, and had died a death many warriors would've been happy to die.

Vyzion turned to the Templar has he clambered aboard.

"Firstly, mate, could I grab your name? It's been a shitstorm since we've met, and I still haven't gotten the opportunity to ask."

As he awaited a reply, Vyzion glanced back at his hands. They had stopped shaking. Where he had rested one of them against the floor, though, in the layer of dust and caked mud from boots of infantry long ago, he had unconsciously scribbled: 514. The pilot shivered.

Crownrule Praetoriani Classiarii Templares Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 16	Posted - 2014.09.11 00:35:00 - [1] - Quote Crownrule was still sitting on the dropship when it began its approach toward the surface, he had been waiting to land ever since he was on that cursed station. He looked out the blast shield doors and saw another dropship, but it was different from the rest it looked out of the norm. But once he landed he forgot about it, he was just excited to see That again. After a year apart, crownrule had remained in the same clone body miracoulsy but it came st a cost. His left eye was blind and his handsome face lost complexion and was filled with scars from the battles he had fought in, he had survived the matari onslaught back on the bleak lands that killed thousands of templars alike, that was there that he had lost everything. He lost his sanity there that day, he watched as templars left and right were murdered while he lay down slowly bleeding to death. He was able to stop the bleeding but was soon pinned by a destroyed dropship which nearly made him lose his legs. He laid there for nine days without any food or eater. After the ninth day he finally broke and began to laugh hysterically, it wasn't long before he was found by the enemy and taken captive where he spent the next two months in a matari mud pit. They would let him stand there in thick mud all the way to his chest and Bob his head back and forth into the mud. The templars had come back to reclaim the station and were successful, it was then that he was rescued and reevaluated and deemed worthy enough of service and was granted leave. He had now landed where Thal was believed to be and he sought out to find him. Crownrule scratched his beard and began to walk toward thepub when he saw a commotion. He raced ahead of the crowd and saw the man before him, he recognized that blade. "That?." Crownrule asked loudly looking up at Thal. Crown rule felt his jacket begin to chafe and his boots became tighter. "Is it really you?" Crownrule asks. "By His light, and His will" - The Scriptures, Gheinok the First, 12:32
Crownrule Praetoriani Classiarii Templares Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 16	Posted - 2014.09.12 06:10:00 - [2] - Quote Thal Vadam wrote: Thal walked up to the armory, quite impressed at the stock of weapons and gear before him. He turned to Jonny and glared. "If we were in another situation..." Thal shakes his head and sighs. "Gear up men, this is all the ammo we're getting for a while." Thal walked into the armory, examining the ordinance around him. He refused to wear a Minmatar dropsuit, he may respect the Matari as warriors and would never harm one of their civilians, he still was at war with them. As he shifted around he saw a gleam of golden light. In the corner, secluded from all the other dropsuits, was the armor of a Paladin, the elite Amarr mortal infantry. Thal quickly moved over and lifted up the set of armor. He slipped it on, a perfect fit. He grabbed a combat rifle and three ammo clips off the wall, placing them on his belt next to his concealed scrambler rifle. He pulled a combat knife from the wall as well, placing it in it's appropriate slot on the suit. He looked into the helmet of the suit, it's golden viewplate shining. He placed it on his head, the HUD lighting up. He threw the cloak back on over the armor and exited the weapons stash. "We'll wait here for a few minutes, see if anyone else turns up. Jonny, Crownrule, take up positions near the door. Falcons, gaurd the windows. Mac...do something productive to the situation." "You got it old friend....and that we will have to get back to my training this old clone body could use a refresher." Crownrule said as he followed that through the armory. He decided it best to grab a scrambler rifle and a grenade or two. "Although I still have this beauty." Crownrule said as he unsheathed a long, glistening blade that had not seen combat in years. He held it once more and felt the power come off the tips of his fingers. He spins it around and places it back in its sheath which rests on the back of his waist. He puts on a tac-vest and fills it with ammo, he makes sure his helmet is on and that his tacnet system is on. "By His light, and His will" - The Scriptures, Gheinok the First, 12:32
Crownrule Praetoriani Classiarii Templares Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 17	Posted - 2014.09.12 23:41:00 - [3] - Quote Thal Vadam wrote: Thal stood by the window to the Pub, watching the crowds of people walking through the streets, who couldn't help but wonder. Did his message get received? How were they getting off the station? Where would they go? Suddenly, Thal heard a screeching noise, a noise who knew to well. A dropship was flying towards them, enveloped in flames. Thal turned to his squad, and shouted "TAKE COVER!" He jumped behind the counter as the ship impacted just outside the building. The structure shook from its very foundation. Bottles of alcohol and other drinks crashed to the floor. As Thal stood up, his HUD identified the pilots as immortals. He jumped through the pub's window, just as the pilot left the cockpit. He helped him get the passenger out of the troop bay and he carried her into the Pub. He looks to the two new comers and his men and says. "Anyone wounded?" It had happened so fast he didn't have anytime to avoid it. All he heard was "TAKE COVER" The impact had not crushed his entire body but it was enough to pin him to the ground. He looked to his side and saw a man jump out and run off. Crownrule coughed up blood in his helmet and he could tell he was dying, and fast. He tried to yell for help but thesship was on top of his chest and slowly depriving him of oxygen. Crownrule felt his life fading away but he knew what would happen. He would wake up in his room with no clothes and bald again. He could hear That say something but he couldn't quitehear him. Crownrule saw his arm was free and he stuck it out hoping someone would see. "By His light, and His will" - The Scriptures, Gheinok the First, 12:32
Crownrule Praetoriani Classiarii Templares Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 17	Posted - 2014.09.13 03:06:00 - [4] - Quote Crownrule could feel something grab his arm as he began to fade into unconsciousness, he felt a rush of cold relief throughout his body but he still continued to cough blood. Then nothing but blackness consumed his vision he heard loud noises and a jolt in his arm and a needle going into his body. Another rush of cold relief filled him, crownrule felt himself being healed by a nanite injector. As soon as the damage had been fixed he regained consciousness and looked at the people around him. Two of them hehad never seen bbefore, he imagined these were the people in the dropship that had crushed him. It was a good thing he changed into his dropsuit otherwise he would have died. "What happened? Where did that drop ship come from?" Crownrule asked waiting for answers "By His light, and His will" - The Scriptures, Gheinok the First, 12:32
Crownrule Praetoriani Classiarii Templares Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 18	Posted - 2014.09.14 23:28:00 - [5] - Quote Crownrule ducks down behind cover and begins to assess what's going on. First off they're under attack and need to get out of here and fall back to a more defensible position. Crownrule raises up from cover and begins picking off the targets one by one until a stray bullet hits him in the head. He falls to the ground with a hard thump, crownrule half expected himself to be dead but surprisingly he was still alive. It was not until then that he began to get back up that he saw a chunk of his helmet on the ground. "Holy ****!" Crownrule said as he picked up the metal and put it aside. He found his rifle and began to fire again ignoring the pain in his head and the ringing in his left ear that would not go away.

Crownrule Praetoriani Classiarii Templares Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 18	Posted - 2014.09.15 01:40:00 - [6] - Quote Crownrule could see Jonny being carried to a tunnel and a hand full of enemies converging on him. "****.....may god bless me and my rifle in my moment of triumph." Crownrule said as he made a small prayer. He left over his cover and began firing shots into the crowd. He took down a score of them before they knew what was happening, crownrule had now just ran out of ammo when he unsheathed his blade. "May my blade strike as quick as the wind...." Crowneule muttered under his breath as he slashed through two of the enemies andstabbed the third. The fourth one caught crownrules arm and snapped it making a very loud cracking noise. Crownrule let out a yell of pain and flipped around and threw his blade through his enemies skull. He headed toward Jonny and thal when he heard something behind him.

Crownrule Praetoriani Classiarii Templares Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 18	Posted - 2014.09.15 13:36:00 - [7] - Quote Crownrule had set his bone back in his arm back in place once they made it to the ship. He knew he would be useless in a gunfight as he cannot hold up a scrambler rifle.he had checked his sword for any cracks or weak points and thankfully found none. He looked over as Jonny woke up and screamed out "Jack". "So what are we going to do now?" Crownrule asked everyone in the ship with tired eyes. He felt old and wounded, but still had thepassion of a young amarrian male. "By His light, and His will" - The Scriptures, Gheinok the First, 12:32

"OUR way of it is they basically serve under lords and earn their way into the amarr faith and only then and when they are proven will they be saved, I have on few occasions saved some poor souls, although I gave them much work I did not treat them worse than you and me."

Quickly, he ran to the seat where he put his A/1 series assault dropsuit. He grabbed it and began to put it back on, he decided to leave his sword with thal and take his vyzion scrambler rifle. He lined up beside vyzion and began to fire multiple shots down below, some hitting the warriors and others killing them. He was reloading his gun when he noticed a large object, it was a tank. Without thinking he slung his rifle around his back and jumped out of the drop ship. He wwouldn't need his inertia dampeners because they were so close to the ground. As soon as he hit the ground he tumbled forward and began to sprint toward the sleek black tank. "Vyzion keep me covered! I'm going for the tank!" Crownrule exclaims through his neocom. He began to fly through the dead bodies and he was almost to the tank who was now arcing its main gun, he knew it was a particle accelerator because he could see the energy twirling off of the gun.

Crownrule Praetoriani Classiarii Templares Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 19	Posted - 2014.09.21 15:55:00 - [17] - Quote He was so close to it, he could feel the energy coming off of the tank, it was definetly a madrugar but they did something to it. Crownrule had ran beside it and climbed on top of it, the hatch where you enter popped open and a shadow warrior sticks his head out and with a quick burst from his rifle crownrule silences him. The tank begins to charge the gun and he can see dark energy coming from the gun and it puzzled him. What was that strange energy? But he canceled it out and quickly jumped into the tank. He could see the driver pulling switches and pushing buttons, he didn't notice crownrule and it Gabe him the element of surprise. Crownrule walked up behind him and yanked him out of the seat putting the man into a headlock and sealing off the air in his windpipe. After a few seconds the man went limp and fell to the ground like a ragdoll. Crown rule reached up and closed the hatch and locked it. He sat down in the chair and turned the gun to a group of shadow warriors, he grabs the stick and clicks the button releasing the energy from the cannon into the men. The ground shakes with such force it makes crown rule fall out of his seat. "What the hell!?" Crownrule yells out as he gets back in the seat, He turned his necom on. "I have control of the tank! And did you guys feel that?" Crownrule asks his companions. "By His light, and His will" - The Scriptures, Gheinok the First, 12:32

He was glad he hasn't killed raven but saved him, but now he had no idea what to do. Should he stay in the tank or blow it up? He had no idea until junko had shouted in his ear and throughthe ccomma. He decided it was best to use the tank and head to the tankyard. "Don't worry, with this bad boy on our side we can repel anyone!" Crownrule shouts in his comm with glee. He began to move the other stick forward and the tank lurched forward with tremendous speed and power. He already had fallen in love with this tank, there was no way he could destroy it.

He knew he had to leave and so he did but not without a hesitant sigh. He planted four remkte explosives and ran tkward the dropship waiting for a pickup. As he did this he detonated the explosives sending a shockwave of energy through the air making crownrule almost fall to the floor. "Hey this is Crown, i need a pickup! Im by the smoldering tank!"

Raven was cheered up by the fireball and almost forgot about the grim situation. "Crown, I'll cover you just run as fast as you legs can move!" Raven said grabbing his Rail Rifle from it's spot and taking aim at the enemies. "Crown, you have 45 seconds before I am out, 65 if you count reload time." Raven spoke with a grim tone while he fired into the mass. "If I die here today, there will be another life safe from you bastards!" Raven said sure no one heard him. "Got it, i wont be a second late" crownrule said through his neocom. He was in a full sprint now and could see the dropship just ahead. Im going to make it, im going to make it! Crownrule was thinking as he got nearer to the ship. But then, a shot from behind rang out andnit pierced his chest sending crownrule to the ground tumbling. At first he was motionless then he began to move. He dared not look down and began to slowly crawl to the dropship. After he qas almost there he felt a boot on his back causing more pain to comenfrom the wound. "Your end is nigh, today you due templar and im the executioner."

Crownrule mutters as he enters consciousness and leave it. At first he think hes dead but then he feels his eyes wide awake in the dropshil as he feels a mask on his face and the top part of his armor stripped off revealing bandaging. He slowly rises and sees the other before him. All battle worn and just as injured, he looks at raven with a smile. "Thank you brother, if not for you my life would cease to exist but for you i owe you my life and thanks...." He says to raven. He looks at thal. "So what now master?" Crownrule asks.
