{Enclosed within this thread shall be all of my stories for my SWTOR and Star Wars DnD characters that I have written over the years.}
Having recovered from the ‘attack’ she had received from the intruder who had stolen her id card a few weeks earlier Nortisa smiled as she sat in the small tent with her squad. Each of them around her she trusted with her life as each of them had saved the other at least half a dozen times or more across the many battlefields the Republic had across the galaxy. Today was mission day though so they where all serious. The twilek stood up before them and began to speak.
“Men and women of Raven Team we have our mission today. After the incident a few weeks ago the Sith and Imperial forces have become emboldened as they swear it was one of their agents who broke into our camp and did the damage to us. But the seven of us know that it was no damn Imp or Sith. It was some Bounty Hunter who owes no allegiance to anyone. My point is this though. They have overextended themselves just about four miles south of our current location and have bulged out their forces. They have but one escape route from their location on the mesa above and it is by a single bridge. Our job is to head up there. Take the bridge and then mow down any who try to cross it as the Starfighters dive in and blow the mesa to hell. “
Reaching for her rifle she let out a oorah and grabbed her helm. Snapping it into place she pressed the comm. Button to the rest of her team.
“Raven’s Six and Seven. Long range fire support from the Mesa to the south. The rest of us will be moving in head-on. Remember there are only Imps and Sith up there so if you see something shoot it. Unless they are wearing out colors. Now get moving you guys…”
The two other females in her team saluted and headed off toward the Southern Mesa. Pulling the other four members alongside her she hopped inside of the transport which got them close to the battlefield. Disembarking from the transport they immediately got into heavy fire. Unloading her rifle into a nearby squad of troopers as her men pulled out of the transport and began their gruesome climb up toward their objective. As her squad was considered one of the best of the best she knew this had to be completed. Focusing completely on the mission as she was jumped by a Sith. Its lightsaber swinging down at her but she did not fear the weapon as in her youth she had been trained with them. Dodging the blade she swung her pistol up and hit the sith in the middle of its exposed forehead the lightsaber flickering out as its master fell to the ground. Bending over she picked up the saber and set it on her belt.
“Thanks for the souvenir Sith… Ok men we are halfway up the second mesa. Once at the top expect heavier fire and…”
As she spoke she noticed a heavy mech moving in on her team. Pointing at it her team took cover and began to open fire on the mech. The bolts where hitting true but the mechanical creature was tougher than she imagined. As it stood there withstanding all the punishment they threw at it. Moving to gather her men to regroup and try a new tactic the robot fired off a high arching grenade which landed just off to her right side about fifteen yards.
The world slowed as she watched it spin on the ground. Yelling out to her men to move she pushed the slowest man out of way as she felt the blast go off and extreme pain shoot through her entire body. Despite the pain she did not black out she gritted her teeth as she felt out for her right leg.
::Thigh good… Where.. is.. oh no… ::
Her hands met air and scraps of her duraplastic armor as she looked down and saw tattered nothing remaining of her leg. The second in command of the unit yelled out for Raven Four the medic of the squad to get over there and fast. Running over the zabrak blanched behind his helmet as he leaned over to Noritsa.
“Boss your leg is gone… There is little I can do other than stop the bleeding and get you ready for medivac. What are our orders?”
Nortisa lowered her head as she grited through the pain. In her mind she knew what she wanted to say but was having a hard time articulating it due to the pain.
“R..Richtard you.. lead the men. Take the point and do as if I was never hurt… Give them hell and damn the.. Imperials back to… Dromund… Kass… As for me… Close the wound Zoa. I do not care how just close it… I will.. do what I can to stay conscious…”
Speaking up as she used the one thing she found she could from her days learning on Tython. Pulling herself inward she forced her heartrate to slow to staunch the bleeding on her end as best as she could. The medic pulled out a small kolto unit and sprayed down the stump of her leg. The pain shot through her as she let out a guttural scream and clenched the ground. Her hands turning white as she clenched the dirt as hard as she did. Glaring down she looked at the medic she called friend as he pulled back the kolto spray and spoke.
“That’s all I can do Cap. Sorry its not a replacement.”
She nodded to him through her pain she was still remaining conscious.
“You did what you could Zoa… Now go and help Raven. Win this day for all of us.”
Nodding the Zabrak ran off back into the fighting. As he went away she fell back toward the soil and looked up at the sky as the shuttle came screaming into the area. In her haze she mumbled to herself incoherent words as the injected her with a painkiller and all she heard them say was.
“Get the cybernetic guy to the OR. We will need him to graft the implants to her leg before we can fix it up. So that she can at least have something of a normal life.. Poor thing is going to be heartbroken to not be in the service after this.”
After hearing that she drifted off into slumber as she did not awaken for several days. As she came to she found a member of Raven team was there waiting for her to wake up. Though as she awoke she felt a heavy metal attached to her leg and felt the cool metal against her other leg. ::Cybernetic limb… I did lose it completely I am finished doing what I said I was going to do…:: Her thoughts came as the female sniper raised her head off the nearby table rushing over to give her captain a hug.
“Good to see your fine as well Riah. I take it the squad made it out alright without anymore injuries?”
“That’s right Capt… We made it out. All of us got a medal for holding the bridge. Yours is back with your rifle in camp. Alongside the Wounded Warriors Medal and a few other trinkets they sent your way for heroism. Just another day on the job capt.”
“Good.. good… I guess I am done with this life though. Cant fight that well with a cyber leg. An arm would be an advantage but a leg is far from one. I will… probably be getting the discharge papers here soon. I just hope that one of you get command and they don’t send some political jackass to lead you guys…”
Smiling as she was helped from the bed to her feet she stumbled to the side. Her mind drifted back to the friend she had just reconnected with after so long apart and a sense of longing came over her as she was helped back to the Raven Squad camp. Being led in she smiled and greeted all of the members who responded by calling her Capt Ironleg. She laughed it off as she went and picked up her datapad. Typing a short message she sent to Sun’dari’s hidden address she hoped would bear a response in a few days. Glancing down she frowned as she looked at her leg knowing that she was now burdened with thisleg for the rest of her life and she would not be able to do what she had pledged to do all those years earlier to her friends.
