Blood Mage Apologist
Fort Wall
Karion yelped in pain in a rather undignified manner as the stormtrooper slammed the rifle-butt into his face, pain exploding through his head.
His side still hurt like a bitch, too, but that was one of the benefits of being mostly mechanical- he had a good amount of endurance.
Ignoring his ringing ears and sparking side, the cyborg charged towards the trooper, throwing an uppercut and a shoulder bash at him.
Thankfully, he was in his element, now. If the trooper had shot at him, he would probably have been dead by now. Karion wanted to help the others, but he was a bit preoccupied at the moment.

"It's been a few years, but I think I can still manage. Cover me," Jaro said.With that, he started a brutal sprint, one that would have likely injured his legs - if he still had them - towards the E-WEB.
With this post, combat is effectively over. Feel free to loot any of the troopers or dead Tynnans and regroup with each other until next post.
Fort
Karion's uppercut knocked the trooper off guard but while he was charging, the trooper got off another shot on Karion's side, making the cyborg fall down. However, before more damage could be enacted, Arc blasted the trooper in the face and helped Karion to his feet.
"Come on! Battle's almost over. We can both get treated in a minute." Arc cried, as he lifted Karion.
The trooper tangling with Sia took the blaster hit to the chest and looked as though he might shrug it off as he backhanded Sia across the face and raised his blaster...before slumping over. It seemed the pain of the blaster bolt took a few seconds to register with the trooper before he too succumbed to his wounds. Karion, Arc, and Sia were now free to shoot the remaning troopers
Down below, the troopers charging started falling to the barrage of gunfire from the Tynnans guarding the gate, as Alkyn's last grenade had finished off the robot. In fact, they were currently using the broken husk of the robot as cover while they pinned the troopers down. While it took a few moments, Deathtrap also sprang to life and began firing. That combined with the Tynnans at the gate, the defenders on the wall, and possiby Alkyn cut down the remaining forces so much so that once Jaro made it to the E-Web, there wasn't really anybody left to shoot. Which was fortunate because it might have taken the former dark trooper some time to remember his training modules on Kamino to fully utilize the turret.

"I don't hear anything." Sevenstreams narrowed his eyes, trying to scan the fort for signs of life - Imperial or Tynnan.
"I think we won!" Pawgum said excitedly, charging towards the fort. Sevenstreams shook his head disdainfully and rolled his eyes, looking at Sabia for the Rebel to give the next command.

"Yeah!" Gulch shouted triumphantly
"Combat mode disengage!"
"...Finally, it's over..."
He was about to scavenge parts from the flamethrower droid, until he remembered; They had a mostly intact AT-ST. If he could fix that thing up...no, he had something else to do first. The Ugnaught grabbed his tools and began walking toward the wounded Karrion.
"Cyborg, the doctor is in."

Fort Gates
Alkyn gave one last gloating message to the recently deceased stormtroopers. "THAT'LL TEACH YOU TO MESS WITH THE TROUBLE SQUAD! YEAHHHHH!" She said, as she waved her grenade-knife around in the air. Once she finished enjoying her moment, she radioed the rebel channel. "All clear at the fort gates. How we looking everywhere else?"

"Still alive, at least as much as that term applies," Jaro radioed back to Sia, before placing on foot on the former E-WEB gunner, whose corpse was sprawled on the ground."You know, I think before we go, we might want to give the customs officers here a stern talking-to," he said as he looked back at the battlefield. "It's not just every day you sneak in a a few dozen soldiers and a couple walkers."
After the Battle
Everyone convened around the fort after the battle winded down. Portreaver and Skygazer started burying those who had been killed in the line of battle, while most of the others gave eulogies for the deceased or prayers to the Force that their spirits would have found rest. All of the Imperials were placed in a big pile near the shore and burned. The walker and droid were harder to move but Portreaver said that some scrap heap collection company would probably be willing to move it. The one Sia had knocked off the fort was actually still alive and tried to make a break for it and run but Sevenstreams coldly shot him in the back and downed him permanently.
After the more somber duties were fulfilled, the Tynnans threw a celebration. Pawgum went to inform the other nearby villages that the Empire had been defeated and to join in celebrating at the still smoldering fort. Food was brought in by the villagers and some of Bopwalker's old bandmates played her favorite songs there to memoralize her. News evidently spread pretty fast on Tynna as even some dignitaries - including Portreaver's brother - from the capital city of Tynna had flown in on a small shuttle to commend the Rebels and join in the celebration. However, all good parties must come to an end eventually and soon most of the villagers returned homes on whatever landspeeder, animal, or shuttle that had brought them here and Tynnan workers were already beginning to clear away debris and repair the fort.
The Tynnans thanked the Rebels profusely as the sun began to rise and Arc began ushering everybody into the Pioneer to return to Echo Base to report back to Command their victory. As they were leaving, Portreaver and Riverdance went up near the Pioneer.
"We just wanted to say that what you folks did here today won't be forgotten. Everyone lost a lot of good people today, even the Empire, but we saved Tynna. You saved Tynna. I know you folks have to go but I'll definitely talk to my brother down in the capital city to see about giving the Alliance the use of Tynna as a base."
"Hope you don't mind but I did a little commemoratin' while everyone was asleep." River dance said, pointing to the minimalist painting of an angry Tynnan with a war axe that was now on the side of the Pioneer.
"Grubdaw didn't really have anyone to mourn him so I figured I'd put him on your ship to remember him by. You can take him down if you want when you get back but he told me once he wondered what the stars were like and I...I...just thought that he'd like being up there in space, even if he was just a painting." Riverdance said, beginning to tear up.
"Come on!" Arc said from the Pioneer as he began making the necessary preparations. Portreaver waved goodbye and began to head home, clapping an affectionate hand on Riverdance's shoulder. Sooner or later, the Rebels began pouring into the Pioneer and headed back to Echo Base.
Aboard the Star Destroyer Pulsar
"Rise."
"Yes, my Master."
"Who are you?"
"I am the Emperor's Voice, my Master."
"And what is your purpose?"
"To show that the voice of the Emperor rings loud and strong throughout the galaxy and to crush those who would dare resist."
"Those pitiful Rebels have had a string of successes recently, against odds that would ordinarily be quite overwhelming. I wish for you to find the source of these victories and destroy it. Take as many resources as you need but I do not wish to hear of anymore such victories."
"It will be done, my Emperor."
Some Time Later - Echo Base
The antechamber that served as Trouble Squad's lounge area of sorts was frigid, as was everything on Hoth - even General MacQuarrie's smile when Arc Scrambas reported news of the victory on Tynna back to him. While he was, of course, pleased with the news, he was a man with a dozen problems continuously on his mind and he could not afford to celebrate.
"Very good, Trouble Squad. Rest up but I will brief you on your next mission in three standard hour's time in this room. In the meantime, you will find that credits have recently been transferred into your account. Feel free to visit the on-base store to buy what you need. We've also recently rescued a Wookiee gunrunner from Imperial slavers. He's on base and is looking to make a profit so if you have any need for weapons not officially endorsed by High Command, I can't officially recommend that you go visit him. So absolutely do not go to Room 122, where he's staying." MacQuarrie said with a small wink before heading out and leaving Trouble Squad to their own devices.

Echo base
Gulch was in hog heaven. He had no idea how he managed to bring all of that stuff back, but he now had in his possession an absolute treasure trove of machine parts and scrap that he picked off of the walker and the droid. With the parts being safely housed in the hangar, he was planning on heading there and tinkering...until he heard about the wookiee gunrunner. This was a perfect opportunity to get an upgrade. He grabbed Deathtrap and made his way over.
"120, 121, here we are."
Thankfully, Gulch had learned Shyriiwook in his time on Jakku, so he would be able to understand the fellow.
He knocked on the door and awaited a response.

Post-Battle
Jaro placed a firm hand on Riverdance's shoulder. "I won't let them take him down, I'll make sure your friend sails from one end of the galaxy to the other," he said solemnly.Echo (echo... echo.... echo......) Base
"Right, don't talk to the walking carpet, got it," Jaro said, standing up from his chair after the briefing.He went off to go see Jann.
Room 121
Inside, a Wookiee with streaks of grey running through his light tan fur opened the door and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. He was chubby and had an eyepatch on and the numerous scars crisscrossing his body looked as though he had gotten into a fight with a box full of vibroblades and had lost. Nevertheless, he put on a warm smile and motioned for the Ugnaught to come inside his small room that had numerous crates stacked up against each other.
"You here to upgrade your aresenal? Whatever you need, I got for you." he asked in Shyriiwook.
Droid Workshop
Stepping over cables, discarded astromech heads, and broken droid arms, Jaro would find himself looking at a small Tynnan that was busy at work trying to repair the treads of a WED droid. However, a small chime had sounded when Jaro had come in and Jann looked up excitedly.
"Oh hey - you're a member of Trouble Squad, aren't you? Listen, I can't thank you enough for what you did for Tynna - all the guys are talking about it. I heard you even met my cousin Pawgum!" Jann asked excitedly.
"I really wanted to show my appreciation so tell you what - I'm going to hook you up with a droid. It's really the only thing I'm good at. We can't exactly spare any droids to give to you but, if you know anything about droidfication
, you'd know that I can turn any object you want into a droid. Hell, depending on the object, I might be able to give it a limited vocabulator." Jann said excitedly, reaching for a hydrospanner.
"What do you say?"
Dump Stat
"Thank you" Gulch said in Galactic Common as he stepped inside. He didn't have the right voice box for Shyriiwook, but since plenty of Wookiees understood common, that hopefully wouldn't be an issue.
With this mission's pay, his (several month worth of) savings, and a few odd jobs he did around the base, Gulch estimated his credit total at around 1500. Hopefully, this would be enough.
"I'm looking to get my hands on an anti-armor missile launcher for my turret here. Nothing fancy, just capable of destruction. I'll even take a broken one."
"Stop right now, you porcine madman! Keep those weapons away from me!"

As she was backing up, Alkyn started cackling as the Droid became stuck and slowly accumulated damage. "HA! Serves you right for trying to deny me my fun!" Feeling empowered by her success, she lobbed one more micro grenade at the Droid, hoping to finish it off.
