But yea I was going to write the Next part on the Weekend, but I had writen half of it, but someone when on the comp and closed all my links while I was in the Shower >.<
Expect the next part to reveal ALOT about some up-coming events and things and RP i have been working on with the Helghast. Roddy will uncover some interesting Tid-bits on his search for Rita.
OOC: START PART 5!!!!! Have fun, cause this was a Blast to write! end OOC:
The Axe of Litany cut through the nebula in the Sigma 17 system. Roddy stood at the command dias in the center of the Bridge, surveying the officers on the mighty ship as they did their tasks. He had been assigned to clamp down on the artifact trade in the Sigma's. For the past three weeks, he had commanded the destruction of many Junker, Hogosha and Corsair ships.
As the Navigation officer watch the long-range Auspex screen, she called out, "My Lord, we have the targets. It appears a corsair Bactrian is loading something aboard a hogoshal Dromdary."
"Stay far enough so their escorts don't pick us up on the scanners."
"Aye, my lord."
"Gunnery officer, have the port Inferno charged and ready to fire. We take out the Drom's sheilds and then ram it. Our prow should go right through and give those bastard corsairs quite a scare when their presious drups and artifacts are smashed!"
"Right my lord, The Port inferno is armed and ready to fire at your command."
"As well, train the lighter guns on those escorts, they may be only Ceturons and Falcons but they can pack a punch in large numbers!"
"Aknowleged my lord."
"Executed your orders now, officers!" Shouted Roddy. The Litany's engines fired up and in short seconds, many of the escorts were nothing mroe the particle clouds adding to the already massive nebula. The great axe-like face of the prow of the Litany, sliced into the starbord side of the hogosha Dromdary. Its two halfs slid along the side of the great Inquisition cruiser before exploding. The lightly armed corsair Bactrian atempted to fly away into cruising speed, but a blast from the Axe of Litany ended the ships small career.
"Tractor in any survivors and or contraband. Those artifacts may contain secrets for dealing with nomads and weapons for the Inquisition Fleet! Destroy it unless it looks somehat useful."
"Yes, Inquisitor." and the salvage officed left the Bridge.
"Job well done officers! Congradulations! Less pirates to pester the prosperous economy is always a good thing!"
"My lord," said the Navigation officer, "We have something on our scanners. It appears to be a wreck."
"What?! A wreck you say? All ahead full! We investigate at once!"
"My lord, if this has something to do with Rita-"
"Of course it does! And now don't say 'my effors are in vain!" Roddy snapped "I vowed I would find her, and Find her I will! Now execute your orders before I have you throwned in the Inquisitions Obuilette!"
"Aknowleged my lord." Said the Navigation Officer, shaking her head. "Our long-range scanners say the wreck is about one hundrend thousand kilometres to the galactice south. If we move at maximun cruiser speed we should get their in fouty five minuites, but we will ahve to reduce sheild and weapon strengh to maintain that speed and their may be risk of engine damage."
"Do it!" He snapped again. and turned towards his private quarters.
---------------------------------------------
Once inside, he sat down behind his desk and took off his sword sheth and placed it on top. He took of his thick red and gold Inquisitor cloak and sat their with his old captains clothes on from when He flew the Jammy Dodger beside Rita.
Sighing, he picked up the picture of him and Rita standing infront of the Jammy Dodger, taken on planet Cran Canaria just after they had left brentonia to see the Galaxy. That picture had been taken oh about 10 years ago now.
"Don't worry Rita, My love, I can't be far off now. four years, since that attack in Delta. I will find you, I know I will!" He place the picture back on the ornatly carved desk. and sat back, in deep thought. He drew his Hecuter 9 Tachyon pistol from his belt, and deflty spun it around on this fore-finger. He thought about by gone days and enjoyed sitting there. Occasionaly, he would shoot at a catoon imaged of a corsair on his wall that He had won at a fair back on New London. A light sheild aborbed the shots and he was suddenly inturpted by a blarring Klaxxon.
He hit the button on His desk. "Executive officer! What the bloody Hell just happened!"
"Nothing my lord!, just a slight malfunction in the engine room!"
Roody switch the comm link to the engine room "You lazy scum! Get it fixed or I'll come down their and shoot the lot of you!"
After everything had settled, Roddy sat back and tried to re-enter the calm blissfull state he'd been in, but found he couldn't. Grudingly, he lay back on the chair and went into a short sleep.
--------------------------------------------
His executive officer summonded him over the comm link. "My lord, we have reached the wreck. I suggest you get out here now."
Roddy sat up, put on his cape and sword, poured himsself a cup of fake coffee and walked back onto the bridge. He looked up and saw something amasing out of the front veiw screen of the Axe of Litany.
"Holy ****......." He said in disbelife. It was a massive space hulk, a very huge chunk of rock that had been fused with many ships over the years that had crashed into it and it had growed so massive it had its own small gravity well. It was 10 kilometres infront of the Inquisition ship and It was about 10 times its size. Roddy could make out countless fighters and frieghters and about thirteen transports and trains and two container transports.
"Commander, hulks like these have been around for many years, they may contain vauable minerals and alien weponry never before seen by anyone in Sirius. we should send on a boarding party."
"I agree XO, I myself shall lead it!"
"Aknowledged my lord"
------------------------------------------
The airlocked hissed open and any air that was left in the shuttle whiped out wars andinto the dark lifeless corridor of the half a prison liner it had docked with. The rest of the criminal ship was gone, fused with the asteroid of the Hulk.
Roddy stepped forward, sword drawn and light in the other hand. His retinue of Scientists, Xeno-Archaeologists and soldiers followed. He shone the light down the long hallway. They were standing in a small entrace way, one of the ships many but lesser ones. Lets go to the main computer bank, it many contain information vital to us!"
He walked briskly forward, the ships artificial gravity was slighty off so everystep was more like a bound. Roddy was surrpissed it was even funcining still. The small bording party turned a corner that should have lead to a hallway to the data-banks but it was blocked by a large mound of rubble. Roddy shone the light on it and saw to his horror there were bodies impaled of sharp metal rods in the rubble. He should not have be so shocked, because organic matter does not decay in space, but these bodiues appeard almost fresh. Blood semi-floated around them on the floor and their faces were that of Terror.
Two scientists rushed forward to have a look and Roddy turned away, and acivated his communicator. "Navigation! Any scans of life?"
"No my lord, the metal is too think and damaged to get any clear readings."
"Aknowleged. Can you tell us the paath on a standered Prison liner, arother way to reach the Data-banks?"
"Yes my lord. I'm sending you a map to your neural net now. It make take a while, because of the disturbances."
"Thanks for your help anyways."
"Yes my lord." She stopped talking and sent the map.
Soon, the small party had left, they would have to head through the main auditorium, if it wasn't allready blocked. The scientists had made the disturbing diosovery that the bodies were mabey killed two to three days ago.
"I don't like the feeling of this one bit. Yet, in the end, It may turn out extramly usefull to Sirius as a whole. We press on!"
Roddy walked forward and the whole party went with him. They had mabey walked for ten minutes when a soldier at the back said "Hey! Where Corporal Wilson go?" Roddy stopped and did a quick head count. "Well?!
There does seam to be one less of you guys? I though you storm troopers were supposed to be th best!"
"I-I dunno sir! One minute hes here and the next hes gone!" Stammed the unfortunate Trooper.
"Well, be on the look out! There could be something thats knows we are here, yet we do not."
After that, the inter-party comms were abuzz with chatter, all the Inquisition's finest scared and trmbling and talking to each other. Roddy was relived when they finaly reached the door to the Auditorium. It was jammed so they used their fusion cutters to chop their way though the damaged door.
Roddy stepped though into the massive dark space confidentaly. Hes retinue followed a bit more cautiously. He turned back to them "Now! we are almost there but I need you to stay stron-"
he stooped as the felt something land on his shoulder. He looked on his crmoured pad and saw a dark red stain. He turned around slowly and as he did, a thing from his wildest nighmares landed infront of him. Its baclk and dark red chitenous hide was about as tall as a man and in its huge scythe like taons it cluthed the body of what must have been Corporal Wilson but was now a shapless-blood mass of sad human remains. The bug like enties dropped the meaty mass, and took a step towards Roddy.
Without showing fear, roddy Drew his Hecuter 9 and fired. The grew laser took off the monsters head with a satisfying 'splootch' and as the blast continued on wards to the far end on the Audiorium, thousands of eyes glowed green before the shot dissipated into the wall and Chaos reigned.
OOC: Dammit! I hope you all enjoyed reading this as much as I did writing it! The next installment will come very soon because I know this was a cliff hanger.
I would very much appreciate some COMMENTS! please, take five minutes to post what you thought.
Start Part 6! OOC: I know, its just a small time space between part 5 and 6 but they were originally going to be just 1. I ran outta time cause they were so large >.<
Six of the Inquisition henchmen died in that many seconds. Monstrosities swarm all around them. Roddy fired again and again, each of his shots cause another creature to fall, its chest no longer there.
A creature jumped. Roddy's sword swung. The things top half was seperated and the floor was slick with dark blood. He quickly truned and fired upon a monster that was about to decapitate one of his storm troopers. It quickly fell and the trooper turned to thank him but a large spike grew from his mid section and with a strangled-yep over the comms, he dissapeared into the black.
A creature jumped from the darkness at him and he pulled the trigger on his Hecuter 9 tachyon pistol, but it buzzed and did nothing. He threw it at the monstrosity and slashed with his mighty blade and his helmt fizzed with hot blood.
He quickly rolled under a pair of scything talons and stabed upwards, satisfied with the crunch. A mangled Stroom trooper lay infront of him, three beast ravonously mauling the corpse. Roddy slew each of them in turn and picked up the Inquisition Brand Vengence MK VI Hellfire-frequency Laser Rifle beside the red mass.
He placed his fore-finger on the firing-stud and aimed into the black. The light on the gun shone on a thing that was readsy to jump. Roddy fired and it flew back, more so by the light gravity.
He methodical swped back and forth, killin the monsters left and right. Something dropped on him from above and then with another shot, it slumped down, crushing Roddy. The last surving two storm troops and the only scientist left had killed it. The scientisted pushed the heavy creature off as the troopers fired their Rifles.
"Arlight!" Said Roddy, and fired at a wing thing leaping at them, "Let's kill as many of them as we can before we go down! Charge!"
"Aknowleged my lord!" They said in unison!
Roddy turned and shot. He shot and killed so many of them that he began to lose track of time. It had become monotonus, they ran towards them, and they killed. The battery on his gun was slowly dying, as as he struggled to replace it, the light shone into the back of the vast Auditorium.
He gasped, somethign massive had been awoken from the fighting, something soo masive it almost reached the roof. It strode forward and the last storm trooper and the scientist. shot with their weapons. The powerful top-secret lasers were puny against its massive bulk and with a swipe, it cleft the scientist in two. It reacxhed for Roddy, but he was already one step ahead. He droped the useless weapon and drew his sword. In a singled motion he sliced one of the beats many claws off.
The creature swung with another one and he moved to pary. It hit is sword with such fored that would ahve killed him if had had not rolled just before the impact. Roddy stabed and and his blade go stcuk in the wrists of the monster. It bellowed and lifted Roddy into the air, as he was still holding blade, refusing to show fear and let go. Down on the ground he saw the smalled beats overrun the last surviving trooper.
He knew that this was the time that he would die, and that he had failed in his search for Rita and in his mission as an Inquisitor. The beast swung its arms and Roddy and the blade both landed hard and skidded near the wall. He impaced with a crunch on the wall and he fell several Ribs and other important bones break.
The monster stomped over to him and he looked up straight into its cold remorsless eyes and accepted his death. Just as the thign was about to decapitate him with a set of talons, a missle stuck it on the side of the face and it toppled over, dead. Roddy saw lasers flashing and saw three tall figures with heavy machine guns slung low, killing the creatures.
Roddy stood up feelbely, and and limped towards the figures. A monster stood in his way, but it was cut down by the appreacxe of a figure with a rocket launcher and another with a shotgun. They beconed to him and he moved as fast as he could to teh door in which they appeared from.
He walked through and the machine gunners dashed in after and sealed the door.
The leader of the rescuers, switched his comms to the open channel.
"Well," he said in a gruff voice, "Wadda we got's our selves 'ere boys? No need fer names, I be part of the RAH, or the Resitance Against Helghast. We 'ave been traped on dis Hulk fer about a month now, and only recenlty 'ave we had the forture on it driftin' to this 'ere sigma 17 system."
"What were those, things?!" Said Roddy in disgust."
"Them? Oh they be naugh but the demons. They dont need ter breath or anything like us mortal have ter do. They live out 'ere in space, and posses unfortunate souls and they come and they kill us and eat us just because they can! Now, we jsut finished manager ter salvage the last remains of our shuttle and finaly rebuild the blasted thing! Mind you, it's wont last long! Just enough ter get us back ter headqauters; Vekta station in the system Helghan. Follow us!
Roddy started to say something but he was guided by the other troopers, all wearing tinted Helmets. They couldn't see him through his mask either. They walked for a few minutes before the leader said something. "These 'ere parts are the only bits of da ship that dont have the demons runnin' through dem. We have been in the data-banks room for the whole time, manager ter salvage some pretty good stuff from what we could find, heh heh. It's all waitin' on board the shuttle, along wit the rest of ther crew! we were about ter leave utnil a few felt sorry for leaving you Inquisitive bunch to die! Feel honoured!"
They entered a small bay, where a ramshackle armoured transport was berthed. I was ushered abored and the hatch closed.
"Alright mate," The leader said after a few minutes of quite conversation with his peers on a seperate channel "We know yer one of those mighty Inquisitor Lords. We also brought ye on this little jaunt through the Void to show ye something. After we took off, quite soomth for this old gal by the way, we sent a message to yer ship. They are headed to the Unkown system to rendevous with us."
"You see, the Helghast, as I'm sure ye know who they are, They are building somethin', something massive and powerful. we belive that they are startin' a massive fleet, with the power to transform worlds into the disgustin' soup that they breath, and exterminatin' all of the other 'umans."
"But, how can this be? I always thought they were harmless pirates and raiders!"
"No! they be far mroe then that, me friend! Ye see, they 'ave a hug civilisation, spaning an entire star system! They hail from the death world, Helghan. We were once brentonia explorers, charting the un-discovered southern' systems. we found the Helghast many generations ago and they enslaved us on their orbital factories! Eventually, some managed to get off the sations and they formed a resitance, build on the hidden asteroid base of Vekta, deep in the Heart of system Helghan!"
A rumble interrupted his speach as they passed through either a jump-hole for gate, then, Roddy felt the impacts of many Asteroids against the ship.
"Now, me friend, I was sent to the giant hulk about a month ago with a small team, to try and salvage weapons and other usefull precussor tidbits. we got trapped on the damned craft by those space demons and it floated ter the sigma 17 system! Me team and I were glad in a way, that finaly after many years of searching secretly avoid nomads and Helghast and such, we had found the Inquisition. Ye be the ones we 'ave been wanting ter find! If any of the 'ouses found out about this, it would cause an uproar!"
"Ye inquisition mates, ye have been secretive all the time, so we are taking you to our Leader on Vekta station. Our new leader isn't a decended of us, but they were trapped in system Helghan and have seen to our Plight."
The ship rumbled again, and they pased through another jumpe hole.
"Now, ye want to be resting now, we still have a few more hours to go!"
Roddy lay down against his chair and soon fel into a well-needed, dreamless slumber.
---------------------------------------------
He woke to the shaking of the leader of the party. He had his helmet of now adn Roddy could see that the gruff voice matched the man's appearance. he bore many scars from bygone combats.
"Now mate, ye best be goin' off ter see the leader! Right this way!"
Roddy was lead off the ship and along many corridors of what must have been Vekta station. Roddy thought it reminded him of Buffalo station, when he and Rita had been neutral to the rouges and had stopped in for Supplies....
Rita!
"Hey sir!" He said quickly, remember a question. "Do you by chance know of anyone name Rita? She had a ship, the jammy Dodger."
"Were 'ere mate," said the Man "Rita you say? Well mate, I think our leader may now something about that now! 'ere we are!"
He stopped at a lagre ornate door. Roddy struggled with his helmet, and took it off finaly. Taking a very large breath of Fresh air, he walked towards the door, know he was a step close to finding Rita.
"Don't ye forget mate, to get her to tell you all about the Helghast plot! we need the power of the Inquisition!"
Roddy took heed of his words and pushed open the door and stopped in mid breath. there, sitting at the Desk infront of a Window overlooking a dark purple cloud, was Rita.

Finaly, I will say it again, MAKE A COMMENT IF YOU READ IT!!!!! PLEASE!!!
Good job Verg. 1 thing. in Part 4, you said 4 months later at the bottom. In part 5, you said 4 years. Just a tip. Very good, kept me interested with all of the bloody writing.:)
I am a long-absent Supreme Commander, Executive Commander, Grand Admiral, Fleet Admiral, and Captain in the mighty Hellfire Legion. I have returned, and am on an urgent mission from Drake Thastus to return the Legion to its former glory, and to claim the galaxy for its own. Only then will I be able to rest.
RP Story (Still deciding whether or not to finish)
In the end of Part 4, it was 4 months that it took him after he was recruited to when he got full Inquisitor Status. In the begining of part 5, it was 4 years since the end of Part 4.
Ah, I get it now Verg... Good job BTW. I don't have that much determination and time on my hands to write such good writing.
