Legacy

Chapter 5

Within ten minutes, we managed to shoot our way into the light cruiser's hangar bay. The Nighthawk's protective shields held and anything that the enemy shot was just reflected away. Ishmael landed the craft inside the bay as hundreds of stormtroopers poured out of the doors and started firing on our ship. The bay door opened and I drew my sword and pressed the activation rune on the hilt causing the Lion Sword to glow with green energy.

"Leave none alive," I snarled

"Now you're talking," said Cyrus with a grin

The two of us charged straight at the enemy. Anyone foolish enough to not get out of the way were instantly cut down by our blades. Cyrus took to the air and started taking out troops on the balconies and eliminating walkers before their pilots could get in. I remained on the ground, cutting down ranks of troops like they were made of paper. Soon the hangar bay was on fire, the bodies of the dead stormtroopers scattered around the area.

"Raven, move ahead of me and see if you can get to the central terminal to download a map of this place," I said

"Copy," he said running off

I sighed and started walking towards the doors leading out of the dock. Before I could get there, the doors opened and ten warriors in black rushed out and surrounded me. There were three kinds of fighters. Some had electro staffs, others had two daggers that glowed with purple electricity, and two had large hammers, each almost the size of a thunder hammer.

I sighed and hefted the Lion Sword, "We have you surrounded, surrender now and you will live," said the leader

"What makes you any different than these foolish stormtroopers?" I asked annoyed

"We are the Purge Troopers, we have killed Jedi before, you are not so scary," said the trooper with the hammer

"It always comes to this in the end," I said shaking my head, "Do you yield?"

"Never!" said the leader

"So be it," I said raising my sword

Before they could react, I had already lashed out with my sword. In one fluid movement the leader's body fell to the ground, headless. The other nine warriors reacted by forming up and attacking me from all sides. A smart move if they were fighting a normal human, but I am a primarch, a being of superior physique and ability. I parried the attacks of two troopers before flicking my sword upward, disarming the two by pulling the weapons out of their hands. I then ducked a swing from the hammer and swung my sword in a long arc, cutting down another five troopers.

The four remaining enemies drew blasters and started firing at me. I expanded the Lion Shield and the bullets bounced harmlessly off of it. I moved forward, the Lion Shield's force field protecting my every step. The troopers realized the futility of their actions and once again went back to their melee weapons. They foolishly ran at me one by one. I cut the first in half, stabbed the second, and smashed the third by slamming him into the ground. All that remained was the warrior with the hammer. He let out a battle cry and swung his hammer with all his might but to no avail. I caught the hammer with one hand and crushed it with my hand, before kicking him away. I pointed my sword at him and immediately his body ignited into flames. The trooper howled and begged for mercy, but I turned away, ignoring his pleas for help.

"Such is the fate of all traitors," I said as I walked out of the bay

I rushed down the hall. Cyrus had sent me the schematics of the ship and I pulled it up in my helmet's HUD. In about a minute, I had reached the command bridge where Cyrus was waiting. The bridge was ruined, every commanding officer killed except for one. He was wearing a pristine white uniform and had blue skin. He stood in the center of the room. Cyrus had his talons unsheathed but had not made any move to kill him.
