[QUOTE="megamania, post: 727405, member: 9255"] UNDER A DARKSUN SEGMENT 016 “Gith on Patrol” Dutch couldn’t help it. The kid was a kid. He fought well but was as mature as a kid. Mania was boisterous, over confident, hansome….everything he was not. Still, the kid had style. He wasn’t sure what to tell Greene about the kid. So immature and also so talented. Also, the kid didn’t reliese it yet, but he had the gift. He had the Will and the Way. He did not miss the telltale sign of psionic armor. What other powers did he process? What other secrets still lay hidden? “Dutch- someone is coming”, whispered Dogg as he crouched down low behind the rocks. “Gith I think.” Dutch, Dirty Dogg and Mania had been sneaking around now for most of the morning. They tried to use every rock, bush and dune to their advantage. This time it was not enough. The Gith were too close and too alert. They whopped and yelled as they charged across the sand. Mania once more glowed lightly as he readied for the charge. Dogg shot off one bolt then drops it to the ground and whips out his rapier. The four Gith made up a small patrol. They hit Dutch and Mania immediately doing minor damage. Dutch gets in a solid shot but fails to drop any of the two gith on him. Each of the three slowly move into a trianglar position to protect their backs. Dogg sticks a sneering gith in the leg. For his effort he recieves a clubbing blow to his arm. Mania is struck but strikes back even harder. Dutch trys to strike the dodging foes before him but can not. Dogg and Mania miss their next attempts but proves to distract the gith enough for Dutch to drop two as he critically cleaves into a gith. However, each of the gith get in their hits while calling for more help. Dogg strikes the sneering limping gith again. It seems immune to the pain. Mania strikes his opponent hard enough kill a normal man but no gith is normal. Dutch trys to kill Mania’s wounded gith but fails. Dogg connects squarely with his injured foe and drops him. Seeing no hope in surviving this, Mania’s foe backs away quickly. Before the ranged weapons are drawn or picked up, the gith turns and crys for help. He gets it even as Dogg checks for damage on the cross-bow he dropped earlier. Six fresh gith come bounding after them. “RUN!” all three say as they begin to sprint away. Sensing this is it, Dutch leads them to a fast rise hopeing to fend off the gith from a higher point. As Mania leaps up onto the rise it gives way exposing a hole. “Any village in a storm I’ve heard it said” comments Dogg whom leaps into the hole next. Dutch, still not certain what is at the other end turns to survey the situation. The Gith have multiplied! There are now 10 gith looking for them. “Some Storm” is the last thing heard as Dutch drops into the hole. No one sees this except for a lone viewer. A simple blackbird which gazes at the hole as if trying to comprehend where the three went and why. [/QUOTE]
