The Galactic Adventures of Pierce Darkblade

"I'm coming Baldee. Hold on!"

"Oh thank you Captain! Hurry!"

You lead your men into a charge toward the council building. In the main square you run past the main battle, random tri-shots from guards obliterating two of your comrades as you continue your charge. You run up the chamber stairs and head into the massive hall.

You wind your way through the various rooms in the chamber, blasting any guard you come into contact with, most of your team has been killed yet you keep on running. Turning a corner in a cavernous hallway, a Freevian guard leaps from cover and tackles your last comrade to the floor. You take aim at him, but they are rolling on the ground in their scuffle. The guard produces a large blade and shoves it into the Freevian revolutionary's stomach, he cries out in agony. You blast the guards head off from point blank range. Your Freevian comrade dies seconds later, you are now alone.

Running through the halls you find the fountain spas area of the chamber. It is massive and decadent, a testament to the Freevian elites wealth. You don;t have time to dwell on the ornate fountains as you are searching for Baldee.

"I'm at the fountains Baldee. Where are you?"

There is no response.

You keep wandering through the fountain areas and begin to see the floor littered with the dead of both the elite guards and revolutionary fighters. Suddenly Baldee appears behind a marble column.

"Looks like you managed to survive" You state.

Baldee nods. "But my friend I beleive we have a much bigger problem."

"What would that be?"

He motions for you to come look behind a barricade in the room. You see multiple shovel bots on the floor, no longer working and they seem to be in perfect condition.

"Oh....crap."

"What? What has happened Captain?"

"They must have gotten to the Prime Bot..."

Baldee's expressions turns to utter despair. "We cannot win now...it hopeless without the robots."

You can't stand the look of sorrow on Baldees large face.

"We have to leave Baldee. Come with me, we can escape to my ship. We'll think of a plan and come again with superior firepower. But we have to leave now!"

Baldee stares desparingly at the pile of dead bodies. "So much death...for nothing now...."

"Come on! We have to get back to the ship now if we want to live to fight another day! This was a humbling loss no doubt my friend, but you can't let it beat you!"

Baldee nods to your rousing plea and you both run towards the exit of the council chamber. Strangley you encounter no guards on your way out. Baldee and his men must of killed them all.

Upon exiting the council chamber you see a platoon of Freevian guards all waiting for your arrival it seems. They force you to put down your weapons and lead you and Baldee down the steps into the main square. The battle seems to have been won by the Freevian elite due to the destruction of the prime bot. You see in the square the bodies of all the dead Freevians who came to fight with Baldee.

A council member is present and emerges from the protection of the guards to speak.

"Captain Darkblade and his sewer scum companion. You are hereby found guilty of attempting to overthrow the Freevian government and for murder of multiple members of our upper class. You are to both die by firing squad. May you rot in your graves!"

The guards take aim at you and Baldee.

"Damn you! Damn you all! When you kill all your slaves who then will serve you?!" Baldee screams with conviction.

You stand silent as the guards fire upon you and Baldee. Orange beams tearing through your body like it was paper.
