"A valuable asset.." Emilia mumbled, looking up at the Mandolorian named Books.
"See what you can find. Maybe the body of a dead man or something..." Emilia looked back down at the trooper before standing tall and aiming the blaster at its leg. She fired a single shot, hoping that the Corpus trooper would react to that.

-
[i]****, ***** ****** ************ *****!”[/i] was the Trooper’s response, his leg caving and his shields disappearing as a result of it.
-
"I'll ask you this once. Exactly once." Emilia happily stated, staring down at the trooper. He felt as though death itself was before him, come to reap his soul. "Why are you here? What's the exact reason? Don't sugar coat."
-
[i]”The...Void Key. And of its master.” [/i] the Trooper tells her, most likely referring to Kiyala, the hidden Force user, merging her powers with the Void Key.
-
"Dad told me she was dead and the Void Key was gone..." Emilia muttered, looking at the trooper oddly. "You know where it is exactly?"
-
The Trooper pointed to the main chamber. It was clear that they were trying to take the broken Void Key and its user.
-
"Thanks for the help." Emilia fired a blaster shot into the head of the trooper, marching toward the main chamber. The Mandos followed behind her, leaving two with the person that was injured.
-
They were lead throughout the halls, almost reminiscing the events that happened just weeks before. The smell of Infested were to be prevalent, as echoes of voices long gone lightly touched their ears.
-
"Might I say..." [url=https://imgur.com/k8HVg7r]A Mando in white armour with green Decal started. [/url]Only to be cut off by Emilia. "No... I'm leading this op. I asked you to be here as a formality, since you actually took part." "I am your father..." "No, you aren't. You are a version of my father, Nathaniel. You are not him." "Harsh words." Books stated, looking between the two as they walked. "It's irrelevant. You are a daughter OF mine. That counts for something. I fought alongside many others... I hear the voices of the dead here." "The dead are gone." Emilia coldly remarked, the group of now four continuing on.
-
Continuing on, they eventually found the massive door that lead to the main hall...with a dead clone, riddled with bullet shots on, a DH-17 pistol by his side. Bloodshot. The clone veteran who sacrificed himself to buy the rest of the group more time as the Imperials And Infested became more heavily contested there. And, despite his epic sacrifice, laid dead just outside the door, lifeless now.
-
"Son of a.." Nathaniel sighed, shaking his head and covering his visor with his hand, as if rubbing his eyes. "So many dead... Crow, Bloodshot, Cypher, Tug, Oracle... How many of us actually got away? Me, Bruiser... Who else?" Nathaniel began mumbling something, but stayed on topic as he pressed the keypad of the door, hoping it would open. "Too many, apparently." Books commented quietly, shaking his head as well and following Nathaniel.
-
[spoiler]I might as well confirm this before I continue. Cypher does survive. Along with Richter. Every other clone named other than your clones are dead. [/spoiler] The chamber opened to reveal a gunship in the window, the Corpus Leader not noticing the Mandalorians entering. Bipedal drones walked around, two of said Crewman removing the body of Kiyala over onto their gunship.
-
[spoiler]Ah okay. Bruiser was the only named clone I really had. Survived. Oracle and Mandolorian Crow are dead though. [/spoiler] "What is this..." Books whispered quietly, the four Mandos quickly ducking behind cover. "They're taking her body off station for some reason... Probably to study it, get the void key." Nathaniel responded, prepping his Boltor Prime.
-
The MOA’s spotted them, giving off some sort of mechanical whirr as they fired on the Mandalorians.
-
"Looks like we're fighting!" Nathaniel called, rolled out of cover and opening fire with his Boltor Prime. Books, Emilia and the fourth Mandolorian followed in suit, letting loose with their blasters and other weapons.
-
While the Crewman quickly ran the corpse into the drophsip, dropping half the Void Key onto the ground, the Sol Scrambus and the remaining two MOAs (as one of them collapsed) quickly returned fire.
-
Nathaniel ducked down behind cover and Books drew a grenade, throwing it past the cover and into the midst of the groups. "WATCH it!" Emilia aimed her fire toward the MOA, doing her best to take it down.
-
One of the MOAs was taken down thanks to constant fire, as the gunship slowly left, the Sol Scrambus jumping over all the fire, landing on Nate, preparing to strike him with his baton, seemingly full of solar damage.
-
Nathaniel's lightsaber ejected from his gauntlet into the palm of his hand. He placed it against the Sol Scrambus' stomach and ignited it, the laser protruding a red carpet colour. At the same time, Books turned his blaster fire to the Sol, firing the weapon until it quite literally overheated in his hand.
-
The Sol died, launching a massive scream before doing so, the last MOA staring at them, almost like it was frightened.
-
Nathaniel threw the Sol off of his chest and got to his feet, spinning the Saber in his hand. He walked toward the MOA, looking at it almost menacingly. Then Emilia started shooting it at with her blaster.
-
The MOA jumped away from the shot, making a hilarious run out the window. The gunship with Kiyala’s corpse was gone. Despite this, half of the unstable Void Key laid there.
-
Nathaniel turned off his lightsaber and stowed it away. He knelt down, poking at the void key with his index finger. "That a good idea, Nate?" Emilia asked worriedly, placing a hand on Nathaniel's shoulder.
-
It shocked him. Very easily, considering it was unstable.
-
Nate collapsed onto his back, laughing loudly at the feel of it. "See?" Emilia asked, shaking her head and laughing a little bit at the foolishness of Nate.
-
The Void Key half proceeded to stops choking its targets, revealing a map of Tatakai.
