Chapter Six - Between A Rock & A Hard Place

As the Bad Batch and the Storm Hawks found themselves cornered by the Cyclonian warships, a group of Talon Skimmer led by Dark Ace approached the two teams.

Dark Ace: My men are under strict orders to open fire if any of you move as much as a muscle.

Dark Ace then turned to Hunter and the Bad Batch.

Dark Ace: I am under orders from Master Cyclonis to bring you all in. Now if you would all be so kindly....

As Dark Ace said this, the ground beneath both the Storm Hawks and the Bad Batch began to shake. They knew that the Suit Of Untold Vengeance was closing in on them.

Hunter: Listen to me! We don't have time for this! We need to get the hell of this mountain now!

Dark Ace: So we're on the same page. Good. My men will be taking you into custody.

Wrecker: Oh we're not going anywhere with you!

Aerrow: We've got a bigger problem right now, Dark Ace! Any minute and something really bad is about to come our way!

Dark Ace: Do you really think I'm going to fall for one of your childish tricks, Aerrow?

As Dark Ace said that, the Suit Of Untold Vengeance walked out of the cave entrance. Without warning, the Suit Of Untold Vengeance fires a volley of blaster fire onto one of the Cyclonian Warships, destroying it. This prompts the other warships to fire onto the Suit Of Untold Vengeance. The Suit Of Untold Vengeance fires on the Cyclonians, leaving the Bad Batch and the Storm Hawks in the crossfire. They quickly rush to cover as an intense firefight ensues.

Hunter: Damn it! We're pinned down!

Wrecker: Good! I've been itching for a fight!

Suddenly, the ground shakes as a group of Talon Skimmers swoop down and fire on the Suit Of Untold Vengeance as well as both the Bad Batch and the Storm Hawks.

Echo: That firefight is going to bring this cliff down!

Finn: Looks like that robot or whatever that thing is has them pretty distracted! Maybe we can climb down....

Tech: I'm afraid that won't be possible. Between the Droid's weight and the firefight, climbing down would be suicide. We'd never make it down!

Finn: Then how are we supposed to get out of here?!

As the gravity of the situation began to dawn on everyone, Hunter began surveying the area for potential escape routes. Between the Cyclonians and the Suit Of Untold Vengeance as well as the treacherous landscape of Mount Vulture, it was clear that escaping this would be difficult.

Hunter: Tech, have the Marauder reach our position.

Tech: There's not enough space for the Marauder to make a landing.

Hunter: Then we'll have to make a jump for it.

Piper: But what about the Suit Of Untold Vengeance?! That thing will shoot us out of the sky!

Echo: The Marauder can take a beating. We'll just need to be quick about it!

With that, Tech used his Datapad to call upon the Havoc Marauder. In the meantime, both the Bad Batch and the Storm Hawks began shooting down Talon Skimmers. As the battle intensified, Dark Ace flew his Skimmer towards the two teams. A stray shot from the Suit Of Untold Vengeance takes out one of the wings on his Skimmer, causing it to crash. Before it crashes, Dark Ace readies his Two Handed Crystal Sword and jumps off of it. He then tackles Hunter to the ground. Hunter was quick to fight Dark Ace off as he prepares a Vibroblade.

Dark Ace: The last time we met, the Storm Hawks interfered. This time they're too occupied by that....thing. Master Cyclonis has given me orders to take you, your allies and your ship. But I only need one of you alive.

Hunter: I'd like to see you try.

An intense battle broke out between Hunter and Dark Ace. The Cyclonian Enforcer proved a formidable opponent for the Clone Commando, but Hunter utilized his training to keep Dark Ace at bay. But as the fight progressed, Dark Ace managed to land a strong strike on Hunter which knocks him to the ground. But as the Dark Ace moved to finish him, Omega fires an energy arrow from her Crossbow and hits Dark Ace in the shoulder.

Dark Ace: You little brat!

But as Dark Ace moved to attack Omega, the Havoc Marauder arrives. Hunter seized the opportunity to attack the Dark Ace. At the same time, the Suit Of Untold Vengeance began approaching them. This forces the Dark Ace to retreat behind cover.

Hunter: EVERYONE ON THE MARAUDER NOW!

Without hesitation, both the Bad Batch and the Storm Hawks began running for the Marauder. But as they ran, Dark Ace grabbed Omega.

Omega: HUNTER!

Hunter: OMEGA!

Before Hunter could go after Omega, the Suit Of Untold Vengeance fired a rocket which narrowly misses Hunter. Dark Ace then took Omega away on a Skimmer.

Hunter: OMEGA!

Echo: HUNTER! WE NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE NOW!

Left with no other choice, Hunter was forced to fleet. One by one, the Storm Hawks and the Bad Batch jumped onto the loading ramp of the Havoc Marauder. As Aerrow makes the jump, he quickly loses balance and hangs on the ramp. As he loses her grip, Hunter catches Aerrow and pulls him up.

Hunter: Gotcha!

At the same time, the Suit Of Untold Vengeance activates jet boosters and flies off, chasing after the Cyclonian Warships which begin to fly away. Without hesitation, the Havoc Marauder begins flying after both the Suit Of Untold Vengeance and the Cyclonians who now had Omega.
