h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*Pestilence taps his guns.*
[Pestilence] /We're/ getting flak!?

*points down in front of the skimmer* see down there? flak guns, we should be fine, if we need to bail, jump before it hits the ground.

[Pestilence] Right! Bank round an' I'll let 'em know we're here!
*Loads two drums of Hi-Ex shells and opens fire. The bullets shred the roof of the Hydra, blowing it apart from within.*
[Pestilence] Ye-haw! Now, let's get those towers!

*drops low only a yard or two from the ground*
only need Ride of the Valryke
*grins as he opens fire with the auto cannons blowing a couple crude buildings to shreds. pulls up and banks round one of the towers*

*Pestilence opens up on the third tower. The bullets rippled up the structure, causing it to blast apart in a shower of debris. There must have been people inside; some of the debris was body parts. Another Hydra opens up, but the shots miss and expose the flak-tank.*
[Pestilence] Woah! Another one! Kran! Can you get that?

With pleasure!
*Throws the skimmer round another tigh turn with the auto cannons blasting wholes into the hydra which then explodes in a massive fireball dumping debris over a sizable area*
YEY! DIE!!

[Pestilence] Hehe... Sweet. Alright, that's everythin' fragged ta' hell. Ya' wanna' set her down an' search, or head on home?

*basicly drops the skimmer down onto the ground*

Better check what we could use from here, more guns would be nice.

*climbs out of the skimmer lifting a rifle and sword from the back of the skimmer as he exits*

*Pestilence checks over the Hydra wreak. One of the four flak guns, a massive, drum fed 50 cal with a barrel over 20ft long, somehow survived the explosion. Pestilence grips the armour and rips it off. He pulls out the main gun supports one by one, then the ammo drum, then the firing mechanism. The barrel comes of with it. He takes his backpack off and begins working on the pieces.*
[Pestilence] Gimmie' a min, Kranny. You 'jes check about a bit, 'k?

*krans walks away towards the wreckage of the buildings that he hit with the auto cannons. As he looks around in the rubble thats left he see something move*

Hey Pestilence! Somethings alive in here! gimmie a hand! i cant move this myself!

*Sounds of welding come from the Hydra, then silence. A moment later, Pestilence runs over. The salvaged gun has had a handle and trigger attached to it, and it is now chain fed. The 50 cal rounds are draped over Pestilence's shoulders. The barrel has been shortened, but is still 12ft long... Without a word, he grips the debris, and heaves. The massive chunk of rockcrete creaks, then begins to rise...*

*leans down looking under the slab* yeah, its a JACKAL, wounded bad from the looks of it. Keep a watch on it and ill go send a message to the others we're bringing a friend back *runs back to the skimmer*

[Pestilence] Hey vermin! If y'er can move, then get the hell out! This thing's heavy ya' know...
*The JACKAL groans in pain, his leg seems broken, and he cannot pull himself clear.*
[Pestilence] Son of a... Kran! You want him to live, then move him!

*runs back from the skimmer*
Dont kill him, he could be invaluable!
*puts an arm under each of the JACKALs and pulls him clear, making sure to hurt him somemore*
I think we go straight back now, when we get in if you could radio the shrine and tell them that woyuld be helpful.
*starts dragging the JACKAL back to the skimmer*

*Pestilence drops the wreak, and climbs back into the skimmer.*
[Pestilence] Let's go Kran. We've gotta' move.

*as normal, puts the engines on full and slams the skimmer up vertically*

Should be an easy flight so long as those skimmers over there dont see us

*slams the skimmer back down almost onto the ground*

[Pestilence] Huh? They got flyers too!? Damn! Well, jes' stay low an' we'll be alright...
*The JACKAL prisoner groans a little. His face is hidden by a mask, but his weapons and costume suggest a Kajo ninja.*

Could you watch him? I dont want to have to crash this baby, im not sure if i could get another one with ease
*never takes his eyes fom the horizon where the skimmers look like dots but glide much higher than kran*

[Pestilence] It's alright, he's...
*Pestilence removes the mask, and cries out at the face underneith.*
[Pestilence] Frag! This guy's jes' a kid! He's 16 at most!

*doesnt seem to mind that the JACKAL is so young. Glides the skimmer in over the shrine and lands as before*

You tke him to see a doctor and keep a gaurd, ill go get Marshal

*jumps out of the skimmer and runs towards the main buildings*
