Black Out (part 2)

The ride down the elevator was quite. So far the team had made down 100 floors without any problems. It was beginning to look as though they would get through this with about any issues and be back before the time limit.

Their target had begun to struggle a bit but with her hands and feet tied she was not going to be able to cause them any real problems. During one of her "fits" Something dropped out of her pockets and landed face down on the floor of the elevator. The device started to blink red causing John to notice it.

Before he could pick what ever it was up Sharia came blaring arcoss the radio. "Blue Team you have incoming! Multiple bogeys are converging on your position! What The Hell Happened!" John's mind went into overdrive as he stopped the elevator mid floor. He firgure the device had to be a sort of panic button, however he didn't know if who ever was responding to the button had GPS on the button or on the person it was ment for. " New plan Everyone out of the elevator we are taking the side of the building out. Blue 5 and 6 out the top and clear the floor above. Blue 3 and 4 stay with the target and move behind me and 2. Let's move people"

The team moved with a purpose as Blue 5 and 6 opened the top hatch of the elevator and climbed out quickly followed by 4 and 3. Blue 6 forced open the door to the floor above them just enough so he could see what was beyond it. Like all of the other floors the elevator was in a closed room separate from the rest of the hallway.

Motioning for the rest of the Team they quickly made their way into the room. Well all but John as he set the elevator back in motion then jumped out of the moving elevator into the hands of Blue 2. He also left a little suprising in the elevator that if he had guessed correctly would find if they were tracking the beacon instead of the person. Climbing out of the elevator shaft John signaled for the group to moves they headed to the nearest window.

---Koto-Si Financial District---

It had been a normal night for Zal Emdi local sector police. It had been a slow night stopping a couple of kids from vandalizing a store front. A couple of speeding tickets here and there. It was almost time for his shift to end, hopefully he can make it to one of the late night restaurants so he could grab som- " All units in the financial district converge on the CIC building. We have a level 5 alert this is not a drill I repeat converge on the CIC.." Zal's radio was on emergency repeat function. This was bad something big was going on and he couldn't get out of it.

Turing his speeder around he headed to the building. Along the way he ran into other unfortunates would would join them on this call. Zal had always thought this building was suspicious but he could never really prove it. Now that a troop transport was speeding down the road with them filled with the new battle droids of the system's army Zal knew something big was going down.

Making it to the garage level of the building before he could bring his speeder inside he was stopped by some of the droids that had made it their before him. " Hey what's the deal we were called in for the alert how can you stop the police from entering!" Yelled one of Zal fellow officers. The droid just stared at the man blankly as it repeated the same line, " This is a matter that the military have taken over please secure the perimeter."

Zal wanted to help his fellow officer but about 2 seconds later he would come to thank the droid for saving their lives. At that exact moment an explosion ripped through the garage level of the building. Anything that would have been inside of the building at that level would have been vaporized in a second. Thankfully all of the police had been forced to stay out side as only the droids had any casualties.

Before Zal could start to thank his lucky stars something caught his eyes near the 90th floor of the building. It looked as though some glasses had been busted out of the building. He couldn't be sure but he also didn't want to draw attention to himself if there was something. He was sure that the captain on scene would make him enter the building and check it out, and after witnesses that explosion that was the last thing he wanted to do.

So taking this opportunity to play stupid Zal decided he would fake an injury to get out of the area. Playing like he had gone slightly deaf from the explosion. He was taken out of the area to go get check out at a near by hospital. Later when Zal looked back at his actions he would come to say that single action had come to save his life. For out of all 60 police officers that had been called to that scene on 5 made it out alive. Those five had survived do to being hurt from the first explosion and removed from the area. It's still classified what killed the others that day, and Zal is smart enough not to ask questions about it.

---Side of CIC Building---

The explosion had worked out nicely as who ever was looking for their target had been tracking that beacon. So no one noticed as the team slipped down the side of the building. John knew with such a large explosion even though it was underground would still draw more attention then they needed. Speed would be the key to them getting off this planet. After reaching the ground John turned to his team, "We have 60 hostiles between us and a ride out of here go loud you are weapons free."

With those words were like a switch that turned Blue Team into complete monsters. Blue 2 wasted no time and opened fire with her modified battle rifle scoring three kills right off the back. Blue 3 and 4 also begain opening firing. It was not until the 10 guy dropped that the Neimoidians noticed something was wrong. One turned to face the building and saw what he could only describe as heavy armored droids rushing at them. Before he could warn the others however a bullet entered his brain and spread his brain matter all over the officer that had been next to him.

She had enough time to tell the others that they were under attack. Then she to took a bullet to her head. Weaving in and out of the parked speeders John advance on the hostiles. He was a machine taking shots at targets as they came into to view, shooting as he moved from cover to cover. Every shot he took killed a target, and it was not just him every members of the team were copying him to the letter. Blue 6 had it the worst as he was carrying the target over his shoulder but he still keep up with the others no problem.

The police forces where heavily out gunned in this situation. They were dropping like flies they could not even get a good look at what ever was shooting at them. Every time one of the put their head in the open they would get a bullet to the brain pan. Soon many of the officers began having mental break downs right there in the middle of the fire fight. The captain of the police had seen enough. They had watched as 35 of her 60 officers get gunned down without so much as a word from the group of people who where shooting at them.

The shooting had stopped now that none of her officers were sticking their heads out of cover. Taking a chance she rised her hands above her head as she slowly moved out of cover. " Wait! Dont shoot! For Godess's sake dont shot! What do you want why are you attacking us!" John was a but stunned he did not expect this situation, " You name and rank!" John shouted over the fires that had been burning around the Captain. "Ro Bretra Captain of the local police force. Again what do you want why have you attacked us."

John did not pay her any attention as he was busy raising Command on the radio, " Blue 1 to Command, we have a situation here. Blue team was forced to go loud do to obstacles stopping or exit. Hostile forces have surrendered what are instructions." "Blue Team Command here, how many surrendered forces are we talking." John took a quick head count, " About 25 with your permission we would like to secure them as well we have transport that can hold them and help us to the exit point quickly."

The line went silent for a moment then jumped back to life, " Permission granted pelican enroute to exit point ETA 8 mikes command out." John then directed his attention back to the police captain cutting her off in mid sentence, " Look I don't really give a damn about you or your officers but I will give you one chance all of you lay your weapons on the floor cuff your hands and make your way on to the troop transport shuttle right this instance or I will kill each and everyone. You have two minutes starting now."

Before Ro Bretra could say anything she hear the sounds of her fellow officers throwing their weapons to the floor and cuffing themselves. Some of them even made it to the transport that the attackers were talking about. She sighed in the face of death who wouldn't want to fight for any bit of hope you can. She could not in good faith tell them not to listen to who ever this was. For she might be shoot the moment she opens her mouth to do so.

With no other options she too tosses her weapon to the floor cuffs herself and walks on to the transport. Blue Team watched all of this from a safe distance as they slowly moved to the transport checking for any stragglers that may be trying to hide out during all of this. Finding no one Blue Team entered the front of the transport and took off in the direction of the exit point. Now all they had to do was make it out of the city and they would be home free.
