What is it? The 24th special tactics squadron I believe?

Although they have no official affiliation with the tier one special forces, its susected they are.

But guess who the SEALs call in when they need to get rescued? Pararescue.

Sorry, I meant Air Force Special Operations Tactical Squadrons ( fighter pilots aren't special ops ).

Yeah, 24th is tier 1 special ops in Air Force Special Operations, they are in Air Force SOCOM ( up with SEAL Team Six, Delta, SAS and the JTF2 ).

Don't forget the SOAR.

Air Force Parascue is combat technically, but mostly friendlies extraction. They have the best pilots to back them up :D Without the wings, parascue can't get anywhere.

It is Parascue's SPECIALTY, their job, of course they get called in.
 
"Officer on Deck, Ten-hut!" a man barked. All of the graduating cadets stood up and snapped it attention. It was the Adjutant General of Joint Special Operations Forces. He walked to the front with men carrying cases behind him. He walked right up to the cadets, the Rico spoke first,

"Sir, Stardust Squadron reporting for duty sir!"

"Sir, Octavian Squadron reporting for duty sir!" Katrina said following suit,

"Cadets at ease," he waved his hand from the men behind him to come closer, "here are your new uniforms, Magistrate Naval Dress Uniforms,"

The men opened the suitcases, inside were their new uniforms. They had to go change...again.

"You will change into those uniforms and stand outside, two lanes, is that clear cadets!"

'Sir, yes sir!"

"Good, now hurry up," he said as the men handed them their uniforms. They separated into four rooms to change,

"Goddamit! We have to change again!" Ace exclaimed,

"Yeah, why can't they just fuckin' give it to us the first time, fuck the formalities," Padre said,

"They had to get the adjutant fucking general to give it to us," Rico added,

"Lucky they made this room soundproof," Spades said,

They changed into their Magistrate Naval Dress, they wore it before, when they graduated from Magistrate Naval Flight Academy. The set was brand new, everything including the sword. It took a while to put everything on, even longer than their Royal Executioner Cadet Dress. Rico was the last one to finish, he put on his cape and said,

"Lets go,"
 
Ever heard of the marine hymn? The last lines end with

"when the army and navy gaze upon heaven's scenes
they see the streets are guarded
by United States Marines."

In game:

"Wait you want me to what?!" I yelled

"Duel, you and one of us. You win and we'll leave for now, we win and we'll kill the rest of you." the grey knight commander said

"Sutori, you do realize this is a game right? They're dedicated melee pilots, they want to fight you because your our only melee pilot." Kim said

"I guess I'll have to accept." I said over the comm, I thrusted toward the gap between my friends and the executioners.

One of them stepped up, "I'm shiva, prepare to die." he said

The unusually thin mech accelerated and break neck speed. I couldn't even see it, it rammed into me and hurled me back.

"Compensating." I heard SiD say

All I could see was a blur as Shiva darted around hitting me with his mech, not even using a sword.

"95%...100%, completed." SiD said

Everything sped up suddenly. Everything came into focus.

"This is it!" Shiva yelled as he came down on me with his beam sword above his head, ready to slice me in half.

"Not yet!" I yelled.

As his hands came down on my mech with his sword I swung around and grabbed them, holding on tightly I brought my knee up, extending a hidden beam dagger out of the knee cap, I kneed into the torso but Shiva managed to push back.

I was still at a disadvantage. I knew it, "Emergency thrust" I said

"Roger" SiD said

I could hear the generator whirring up as the particle output quadrupled. I flexed my wings outwards and out of the feathers poured the black particles.

"Impossible, that much energy is insane." Shiva said "I don't know what kind of shit your pulling!" he said

He charged at my mech and stabbed into my torso. I evaporated out of reality and back into reality mere feet from where I phased out, I grabbed his sword hand tucked it under the left arm and elbowed him to the face with. I grabbed my shotgun and fired twice into his frame.

Shiva pushed back.

His torso was sparking a bit, but the armor held.

"Looks like I'll have to use these!" I said

I drew out my two swords.

"Watch out shiva, those are obsidian." the enemy commander said

"No problem." he said

By now the entire area for kilometers around had been practically filled with black phased particles.

"Look around you, those black particles, they give me the homefield advantage. Your faster then anything I've seen, but in here, I travel faster then light." I said

My mech started developing a shining gold veining and the wings started giving off golden particles

He got in a stance "prepare to..." he began

before he could complete it I had reappeared behind him

"Shiva! behind you!"

He spun around to slice at the spot where I had been, but only hit vacuum.

He flailed back around, again I evaporated before he could hit me. I was behind him.

"Impossible!" he screeched

I sliced through his arm, then leg then grabbed him and took out a dagger and slid it into the torso, through the cockpit.

"Shiva!!" I heard one of the grey knights yell

I backed off as he self destructed.

The marines are good, but they aren't the best.
 
They didn't have to wait long for everyone, they went out in a parade march and split into two lanes beside the giant doors outside. They stood at perfect attention waiting, they didn't know what they were doing. As soon as they heard the marching band, they instantly realized what was going on, the King was going to come through here. The marching band came through first, then the Royal Carriage came within sight. They knelt down with the swords over their hearts as soon as the band passed. The King was escorted by three companies of Royal Palace Guards, a vanguard, a center and a rearguard. The Royal Guards had a long standing rivalry with the Royal Executioners, each seeing themselves as superior. As the start of the center passed Rico and Katrina, who was at the front of the two lanes, they all shouted,

"All Hail the King! Long Live the King!"

The King made a rise gesture and said,

"All rise,"

"Thank you, your majesty!"

They all preformed a sword salute as the Royal Carriage passed them. They waited for the center to enter and then they entered the hall once more. The rearguard formed a perimeter outside along with the vanguard of the Royal Palace Guards Everyone knelt down, and as the King sat on his throne , he said,

"All rise,"

"Thank you, your majesty!"

The graduating cadets took their seats.
 
We were watching the combat footage.

"So what was that cloud?" the captain said referring to the cloud of phased particles that spread out of my mech during the battle.

"I came up with it about a week ago, the big problem with phasing is referencing." I said

"Referencing?" the captain said

"Yah, I need to have a point of reference to phase so that I don't end up in a solid object. So the phased particles are like beacons when I'm in phase. And when they encounter different elements they give off different signals, because the effects of a phased electron is diluted by heavier elements that have more electrons which means they give off duller resonances then lighter elements. And when I'm phased out I have a sort of...omnipotent ability to sense and process signals from all the phased particles, not individually, but when there's enough interacting with a large enough material, say a person sized piece and I can sense it when I'm out of phase." I said

"So it acts as basically... I dunno a map." Adder said

"Yah, I suppose, it keeps up with any movements within the cloud. And it also makes a beacon for me to home in on when I phase back, and since more of the surrounding space is phased it takes a small fraction of my normal energy expenditure to phase." I said

"Wow, that's complex." Kim said
 
The Commandant of the Royal Executioner Academy went up to the podium and said,

"Cadets, a-ten-shun!"

"Sir!"

They stood up and at attention. He looked at every one of them and gave a touching speech. Rico knew he probably gave the same speech countless times before, but somehow he managed to make it emotional every single time. He then looked at every one of them and said,

"Cadets, dismissed!"

"Sir, yes sir!" they snapped into a simultaneous salute.

He then stood aside, the King then gave a speech, a very good speech. Rumor has it that this King writes his own speeches, and is very well versed in the art of oration. The Commandant then took out a list and said,

"Rico de Romano, step forward,"

He step forward and knelt down in front of the King. The King swore him in as a Knight with an oath of allegiance. Rico then handed the King his sword over his head, the King took it and then hovered it above his right shoulder and knighted him,

"By the rightful sovereign authority as King of the Holy Black Hole Empire, I dub thee, Royal Knight, rise Sir Rico de Romano,"

He then received his sword over his head and rose, he knelt down again. He was then swore in as Royal Executioner. The King then draped a richly decorated cape over him, a symbol of honor and status only worn by Royal Executioners. The King then personally promoted him and gave him a set of Epaulettes identifying his rank.

He is to be the Executive Officer of the Royal Stardust Squadron, Royal Executioners. Rank of Royal Rear Admiral - a flag officer. All Royal Executioner squadrons are lead by a battle-hardened and experienced member of the Royal Executioners, tried by fire and blood.

He stood up again and preformed a sword salute and then knelt down and said,

"My everlasting loyalty and light is to you, your majesty!"

He then stepped down, and the process went on for all of the Royal Executioners, no graduating cadet was rejected this time. Katrina like Rico was a Royal Rear Admiral, everyone else were Royal Commodores.

The King then gave a speech to close the event and to pronounce the cadet's status as Royal Executioners.

After all this time, after all the blood, sweat and tears, after countless sleepless nights, the are finally no longer cadets, but the newest Royal Executioners of the Holy Black Hole Empire.

an admiral? Isn't that a bit overkill?
Click to expand...

It is all honorary.

Do you remember what I told you about the Executioners? Yeah, that is basically the powers and privileges of Royal Executioners.

They can be Royal Privates and can still have all the powers and privileges. The rank only matters within Royal Executioners, the lowest rank is Commodore and the highest is Grand Admiral. The chain of command is very short.

It just sounds better with a higher rank, honorary.
 
But admiral? dude you were a cadet. That's like jumping from being a bus boy at mcdonald's to being on the board.

In game:

"Its that time of year again." I said

"What time of year?" Cade said

"They announce the new executioners." Adder said

"And that's reason for excitement?!" the captain said

"Well comeon captain, when I'm not being mind attacked by adder, repairing my mech, and blowing shit up there's blessed little exitement." I said

She sat down, grabbed a beer and turned up the volume "good point." she said

Okay, here is how it worked. My guy went to a private naval academy, Tarsonis Naval Flight Academy, transfered to Aurelius Naval Academy ( I posted Air Force originally then realized it would be Space Navy in Sci-Fi terms ), High Joint Operations Staff and Command College, then to Magistrate Naval Flight Academy and then to Royal Executioner Academy.

So my guy is a qualified commander, general staff, and a Magistrate naval MS pilot.

My guy kept getting transferred to academies instead of getting a combat placement.

Well...that is what his memory says anyways :D

Remember, not just any cadet, a Royal Executioner Cadet :D

They don't start from the bottom up in their career, only in studies.
 
I sliced Adder's longbow in half.

"too slow Adder!" I said

"Damnit!" he yelled back

the corpse disappeared and a new long bow reappeared.

"Take this!" Kent yelled

He flew his mech at me, transformed and pulled out his sword as though to skewer me with his momentum.

I spun out of the sword's path, grabbed his wrist and his shoulder, then flipped him over and forced him into the ground, I took out my hidden beam dagger from my knee compartment and skewered the cockpit.

"Dammit, not again." he said

His mech disappeared and then reappeared somewhere else in simulation.

"Comeon, can't you go a bit easier?" Adder said

"We've gotta get this right Adder." I said

"Sutori, as entertaining as it is to watch you beat the snot out of them in a simulation, this is supposed to be training for melee." Captain Rosenthal said

"Alright guys, free for all's over, lets work with the beam sabers again." I said

"Now were talking." Kent said.
 
"Comeon, give us a break, we've been practicing for days." adder said

"I let you get some sleep." I said

"Some" Kim said

"Alright, lets take a break." I said

I quit the simulation, drenched in sweat. I got a private comm from rosenthal.


"hello captain." I said

"How are they doing?" she asked

"I dunno about grey knight quality, but definitely hold their own." I said

"Until you come in to save the day...I presume." Rosenthal said

"Precisely, besides the fact that those three are obviously ranged fighters, it should be a big surprise for the enemy to see them with swords, and to actually know how to turn them on." I said

"They're a lot smarter then you think." she said

"I know." I said, I took a gulp from my canteen. "But pilots like the grey knights are in their own league."

"And where do you stand?" she said

"Who knows." I said smiling
 
Just stay calm. Once we board it'll be easy as pie.

Tiberius couldn't tell himself that forever.
 
shogun, u gonna post or should I?

Do you want to have some amount of time to have passed already? Say a month or two from where we left off?
 
You know you guys, its hard to restart this thread when I'm the only one posting in it.

In game:

"Alright, I'm in." I said over the comm, I had just cracked open the safe.

"Grab the documents and go." Kim said

I grabbed the files and folders and just as I stood up I heard someone come up behind me. I turned around to see a pistol pointing straight at me. "Freeze" he said

Before he could do anything, I evaporated out of reality and back outside the compound which now had sirens ringing.

A black car pulled up with a few guys in it.

"Come on" Harry yelled

I jumped in and we drove off.

"Thanks for the backup." I said

"No problem, you got it?" he asked

"All of it" I said as I pulled the stack of folders out of my pack.
 
I'm back, yeah how about a month after we left off :D

I won't be telling you what my storyline will be starting now, more suspense for you :D
