Character Draft Stories Round 1

Scene 4: A group of stormtroopers stand guard near a large building. Jack walks out into the open, arms raised, indicating surrender. The stormtroopers raise their blasters in his direction. Elsewhere, sounds of battle can be heard as Carnage, Gambit, and Gimli fight solo through the uneven streets. Jack: "Parley!" Stormtrooper: "Who are you! State your business and be on your way." Jack: "Captain Jack Sparrow, I am a member of the team sent to destroy you." The troopers tensed up, keeping their blasters carefully trained on Jack. Stormtrooper: "Do you have a deathwish?" Jack: "No, infact, I do not have a deathwish. That's why I'm here, mates. I want to switch sides." Stormtrooper: "And why would you want to do that?" Jack: "One of them framed me for cheating with a murderous axe-wielding dwarf. One of them is a murderous axe-wielding dwarf. One is a psycho in a jester outfit. One is a cyborg in desperate need of a manicure. And finally, one is currently ripping through the softer bits of your mates." The troopers visibly relaxed at his words, apparently satisfied at his honesty. Stormtrooper: "That's all well and good, but what can you possibly offer us?" Jack: "Information, savvy? See, I'm merely a pirate without a ship, nary a cause for concern for you. But the others, from the sounds of it, you need all the help you can get." Stormtrooper: "I see your point, what do you want in exchange?" Jack: "A little bit of protection, and a whole lot of good rum." Scene 5: Hours later, Harley approaches the guards with Lady Deathstrike in the shadows. Harley has maintained the blonde pig-tail look, now with a backpack strapped to her shoulders. Stormtrooper: "Going to need to see some ID lady, so we can process you." Harley: "Oh sure no prob!" Stormtrooper: "Um, this isn't ID, this is a joker card." Harley: "Oh whoops, I'm such a ditz. Here you go." Stormtrooper: "This is another joker card..." Harley: "Haha! So thats where it went! I'm sorry here's my real ID." Stormtrooper: "sigh This is the joker card you handed me the first time. If you don't have proper identification we're going to have problems, miss." Harley: "Nah you don't get it, that is my ID. Jokers are wild and so am I, play your cards right and you'll see just how wild I can be." With that, the trooper hollers at the others and they gather around Harley as she continues leading them on. Lady Deathstrike sneaks through the opening into the building. Jack: "Drink up me hearties, yo ho'! Lousy cheap rum. Tis a pirate's life for me!" As Jack sings, Lady Deathstrike follow's his voice to a makeshift jail. She finds him soaked in rum and clearly drunk. Lady Deathstrike: "Jack-kun, what did you tell them?" Jack: "Ah, my bonnie lass. Simple, I kindly informed them should they want to take out the murderous red beast, they need to use fire." Lady Deathstrike: "So that means?" Jack: "That means, my dear, their giant walkers and speeders are here right now, being outfitted with flamethrowers." With a smile and a single swipe of her claws, she lets Jack loose. The two make their way through the building and out the back where a large contingent of storm troopers and technicians are working on the bulk of their AT-ST's and speeders. Jack: "Alright, this will require some very careful sneaking and deft movement." Before finishing the sentence, Jack knocks over a propane tank. The clang loudly echoes through the steel and all eyes turn towards Jack. Lady Deathstrike dives into the stormtroopers blindly fast, catching them unprepared, while Jack runs and hides behind the nearest AT-ST. Meanwhile, the guards around Harley hear the sounds of the fight and run in it's direction, cursing the entire time. This leaves only the lone guard near Harley and, as he angrily raises his blaster towards her, she knocks him out with a well placed kick to the jaw. Now by herself, Harley unzips her backpack and dons her jester outfit before running towards the fight herself. With no support from the speeders or walkers, the troopers simply can't keep up with the speed of Lady Deathstrike and soon the technicians are fleeing as the last of the troopers drop. Harley joins the fight just as it's ending. Jack: "Ah, if it isn't the mysterous sixth member, our pretty little pig-tailed snitch." Harley: "Oh Cap'n don't be so sore, the best jokes always involve murder. So, we gonna blow these hunk's o' junk or what?" As the two start rigging up some explosives, Lady Deathstrike's eyes briefly glow purple. She approaches one of the AT-ST's and places her hand on it, nodding to herself. Lady Deathstrike: "Wait, I have a better plan. Jack-kun, what is a pirate without his ship?" Scene 6:Finale: Carnage, wounded and regenerating, continues tearing through every stormtrooper he can find. Gimli, similarly wounded and reeling, has taken to fighting around corners and in choke points where troopers are not able to surround him. Gambit has linked up with Gimli, recognizing the dwarf is struggling, and is offering cover fire and support. A sudden explosion near the edge of town alerts all three of them. Unsure of what's happening, they assume the worst until the troopers begin a full retreat. The troopers head toward a single AT-ST and speeder heading in their general direction when they're suddenly caught in a blinding volley of blaster fire and flames. As they scatter, Carnage howls in delight and tears at the fleeing troopers. While Harley, in the speeder, chases down other troopers in retreat. Seeing their opportunity, Lady Deathstrike and Gambit go after the few remaining AT-ST's and speeders, now without the ground support of the foot soldiers. Harley: "Whooooo! Oh man, if Mr. J was here he'd have somethin' funny to say about Harley on a motorcycle. Oh well, even the best jokes sometimes go untold. Hmm...I should be a philosopher!" Jack: "Ahoy my height challenged friend, looks like you could use a safe haven. How about you join my crew, you can be second in command." Gimli: "Second of two? Hmph. I take it you three are responsible for that explosion?" Harley: "Hells yes beardy! Won't be havin no trouble from any more of these tin cans. Lady steel fingers or whateva showed us how to pilot these, so here we are!" As Gimli limps over, Jack pilots the AT-ST down, welcoming Gimli in. Gimli: "...Not bad, pirate. I guess you're alright after all." With the vast majority of their artillery destroyed or captured and the troopers numbers dwindling, the imperial forces were effectively routed. Carnage continued hunting down fleeing troopers while the others simply ensured no pockets of resistence would remain. As unlikely as it would seem, the six of them had won.
