Star Wars: Rath (Shaak ti x oc)

Chapter one war on Kalee

(Listen to the song during the fight.)

In a distant star system far from the reach of the raging Clone Wars, a planet resided, this planet was itself at war but for a different reason, the planet's inhabitants were fighting for their freedom, and to save those who were already enslaved, this world at war was known as Kalee, and the natives of this world, the kaleesh had been fighting this war ever since the huk showed up, two years ago these insect slavers almost won...almost, were their efforts not thwarted by two kaleesh warlords, both considered by their people to be demigods, these two were Queilan ha'Sheelal, who would later be known as the infamous Jedi killer General Grievous, and his older brother Rath dal'Sheelal, a kaleesh duel swordsman and expert marksman who would become a respected general for the Republic. Which brings us to the present, currently Rath and Grievous were overseeing an exchange between the huk, and from what Rath could tell through his Cycler rifle's scope a bothan bounty hunter, he chuckled lightly smirking under his mask, "It would seem we're getting popular, take a look..
a bounty hunter..bothan." Rath said before handing binoculars to Queilan, the younger brother looked through them, and saw the aforementioned bounty hunter, it was indeed a bothan as Rath had said, Queilan then looked at his brother who had his finger on his rifle's trigger, nodding signifying he knew what the marksman was about to do, he looked through the binoculars again, he wanted to see the look on the huk's faces when their hired help was killed in front of them, "What if you miss?" Queilan asked teasingly, to which Rath replied with a whispered "I won't." and pulled the trigger, the shot tore through the quiet of the night as the round hit its mark, right square in the bothan's head, pulling the chamber back Rath fired again, using the momentary and sudden surprise and shock to his advantage, Queilan then gave the signal, and a large force of kaleesh freedom fighters ran out of the woods acting as their cover, "Kill them all!" he ordered, this was a carefully planned surprise attack and it had definitely worked, the huk were caught totally unprepared as more of their number dropped like mynocks, getting themselves together as more and more huk were either run through with a vibrosword or blasted, Queilan had joined the resistance and lead them to the front, while Rath provided sniper support and offered guidance and warned his people of any huk that snuck up on them, "We caught them by surprise alright!" a female warrior shouted, this was true the huk looked like they hadn't counted on the kaleesh to find this base, "Make them pay for every life they stole!" Queilan ordered, Grievous coming out slightly, Rath fired and took down a huk sniper, his days as a hunter before this war were referred to as an asset to the kaleesh, and they had paid off so far, he turned and saw a stolen Separatist AAT, his eyes widened as he realized it was moving, "AAT GET TO COVER NOW!!!" he shouted into his comm unit, everyone did so and just in time as the tank fired its cannon at the ridge where Rath was positioned at, luckily the warrior had moved away from the shot's mark, he then drew his vibroswords and joined the fray, cutting down a good couple of huk that stood in his path, "Get out of my way bugs!" Rath snarled, teaching himself a Jedi fighting style like Jarr'kai wasn't easy, but the trouble was well worth it when a Grey Jedi had taught him the moves and techniques he couldn't learn himself, Rath was mostly a self taught user of Jarr'kai, but he was grateful that his mentor taught him what he needed in order to use the art effectively, quickly becoming a practiced hand, Rath fought his way through the huk blocking him, and then threw a thermal imploder in the middle of a large group of them, <Oh slag...> one of them said in its native language, before the imploder detonated doing what it was designed for, smirking under his mask as an idea came to Rath, (I wonder if we could use that tank to free the slaves here, only one way to find out...) he thought to himself as he put his new plan to action, sprinting as Queilan and his forces were pinned down by the tank, a few were killed by the AAT while others were injured, a few minutes later they suddenly heard a familiar voice call them, "Anyone need a lift?" Rath called out, the kaleesh all stared in amazement as Rath had managed to hyjack the tank that had pinned them down a few seconds ago, they carried the wounded and put them inside the tank, a couple who could still move were assigned to weapon systems, and one operated the main cannon, with the wounded on board and the dead buried, the resistance and their newly aquired tank moved forward, intent on freeing their brothers and sisters from the cruel whip of the huk.

Bonus:Rath's pov

I ran as the AAT was firing on my people and my brother, Queilan was skilled as I taught him swordplay, but he was ill-tempered reckless and most notably he lacked discipline, I love my brother but his temper...isn't his strong point, I was close to the tank, now all I had to do was kill the huk inside it and then take it, the rayshields it had were going to be a problem though, I hadn't anticipated that glaring detail, I placed a hand into my grenade belt and smiled, I still had some emp grenades left, grabbing one I threw it onto the tank, rayshields can block blaster fire and people but are still susceptible to overloading, the grenade landed on the tank and went off, the shields were offline and the tank was disabled, it wouldn't stay that way for long though, so I had to act fast, (Here goes nothing...) I thought, I jumped on top of the tank and opened the hatch where the cannon operator was sitting, quickly grabbing the bug by neck pulling it out of the tank, I ran it through pulling my blade out of its chest as I tossed the limp corpse aside, (Well that's one problem solved...) I thought, sliding down to the pilot's position when I heard whirring, shit the systems were coming back online and if I was still on this thing when they did I was dead, thinking quickly I opened the hatch as the huk inside looked at me in shock, "Mind if I borrow your tank? Thanks." I said before tossing its sorry ass out of the tank as it skidded across the ground, the impact killed it first, I heard a sickening snap as it did, jumping inside just in time as the rayshields came back online, I mentally congratulated myself, deactivating the shields I opened the hatch and called out to my brothers and sisters in war, "Anyone need a lift?"
