don't fear the reaper
[The First Battle]
[They come shooting out of the great dark. Guns blazing, no warning. The enemy ships are ragtag, mismatched, and cobbled together from spare parts. But that doesn’t make them weak. No-- years and years of scavenging have turned them into raiders, and they carry their scars with pride.
The battle is more aggressive than previous attacks against the Fleet. Nothing deters the raiders because they’re tough, and if they see a wounded ship floundering, they have no problems swooping in and boarding. Those crews will soon learn the meaning of teamwork if they want to bring the attackers down. They infiltrate the Iskaulit as well, just in case people try to hide there. At this point they are very, very used to tracking down women and children for their slave trade.
If asked why they’re doing this, the answer is simple.
Spare parts have to come from somewhere.
Don’t worry. Nothing on your ship, and no one, will go to waste.]
[A Few Hours Later]
[The raiders are too strong and the Fleet is failing. After what seems like an eternity of warfare, static comes in, broadcasted to the fleet at large. Something or someone is hailing them…
The signal is untraceable and the video is complete static, but they tell the Fleet they are here to help. Ships come swooping out of the black and they open fire on the raiders. They number a dozen, maybe more, and the ships look eerily similar to the ones currently used by the Fleet, if not a bit older and battle-hardened. Their shielding and weaponry is much, much better, however-- and most of them have custom paint or other touches on their hulls.
They’re not invincible, however. A few may end up between a rock and a hard place when the raiders surround them.
Some older residents may remember this particular group of ships. They’re obviously helping out now, but there’s nothing stopping Fleeters from firing on their would-be saviors save a complete lack of weaponry. You do have a Security officer on board, don’t you? They’ll defend themselves by seriously injuring your ship, but they won’t destroy it for some reason. Small mercies.
The raiders soon realize they’re outgunned and jump ship, taking their dead with them. The intercepting fleet pulls back, too, and both parties vanish back into the dark as silently and swiftly as they came. There’s a lot of cleanup to do whether your ship is disabled or you’re preparing to tow someone else.
Hopefully, the people who saved you don’t change their minds.]
[Plot info is here! Feel free to make your own toplevels with fighting, barricading, being boarded, saving others, the aftermath, etc. There's lots to do!]

[Kanda is rather useless as a lab officer since he mostly doesn't care about the technology. But that doesn't mean he's completely useless. As soon as he realizes people are boarding the ship, he's there to guard the way with his sword drawn. Anyone who brings swords to a goddamn gun fight is an idiot, or so the saying goes, but Kanda is ridiculously fast. Any phaser blasts that get directed at him, he just deflects them with the black-red blade of his sword.
He's also not against killing people, though he tries to put it off as much as possible if Allen and Sokka are around. Otherwise he carves through the party with ruthless efficiency afforded to him by his healing factor. Honestly, he looks like he isn't even trying.]
[II. did someone call for a medic]
[Until someone comes up behind him and smashes him in the head. He goes down hard, and he won't be back up for a few minutes... but when he does, he's furious; his black and red coat is slick and dark with his own blood, though that's not as fearsome as the look on his face.
If anyone stops to help him, he won't be grateful. In fact:]
Out of my way! I'm gonna KILL THEM ALL.
II
When Kanda gets up again, he doesn't even seem surprised or disturbed by the yelling]
Oh! About time you woke up! I thought you were going to nap the entire attack away!
no subject
Shut it!
[He staggers a bit as he gets back to his feet. He's still not a hundred percent, but it doesn't stop him from kicking a guy all the way across the room.]
How the hell did all these guys fit on a dinky little ship?!
no subject
[He punches another one out cold]
Maybe that's why they want our ships, so they can have more room!
no subject
Kanda slugs him so hard he goes through some cargo and keeps going.]
Everyone else better be in the lab--
[Using Mugen, he knocks someone into another guy, creating a sort of domino effect.]
--because I'm not rescuing anyone stupid enough to get kidnapped!
no subject
[After punching a guy, he notices Kanda's domino move. Shit-]
- T-That just counts as one!
[WERE THEY KEEPING SCORE?? WHO KNOWS]
no subject
[Allen does look a bit like a prince with that cloak on...]
-- What. That was totally two!
[THEY ARE NOW. He ducks beneath a line of phaser fire and clocks a guy in the face with Mugen's hilt.]
no subject
[Don't tell him that, his ex ruined princes forever]
No, you only touched one!
[Meanwhile he uses his ribbon to grab the leg of one of the one shooting lasers, and yanks so he falls to the ground]
no subject
[Rude. Kanda takes down another one with a shoulder tackle, only to whip out his scabbard and knock another raider out cold. The raiders are beginning to think they fucked up.]
no subject
[And jeez, the raiders are starting to realize they fucked up and are backing off. Dammit Kanda, you're being too efficient with your ass kicking how is he supposed to catch up???
Well he'll still try! He kicks one that's slow on the uptake, grabs them, and tosses them out of the hallway like a rag doll. ]
no subject
Damn it!
[He glances around at all the unconscious raiders, who are probably going to wake up and wonder where all their buddies went.]
... Guess we gotta tie them up.
no subject
[He gives a long moment of thought, deactivating his Innocence as he crosses the hall. He looks up at a vent that's way above their heads.]
Hmm...I think I put some supplies in that vent a couple years ago. Maybe something's still in there.
[What? You'd be paranoid too if you had just come from a murder happy castle]
no subject
... Since when do you think ahead?
[THAT'S RICH COMING FROM HIM, BUT STILL.]
Only a Beansprout like you could fit in there. You go get it. [He'll watch and make sure no one tries to come up behind them or something.]
no subject
[He makes a face]
It's Allen! [He is not a beanspout how dare you-] - And at least give me a boost.
[NOT BECAUSE I'M A BEANSPROUT OR ANYTHING ITS JUST QUITE HIGH UP!!11!!]
no subject
You shouldn't have put it somewhere so high if you can't reach it by yourself.
[He drops into a crouch regardless, arms poised to give Allen the boost he needs.]
I
He waits for a long moment before he speaks, eyes widened and full of awe.]
That was quite impressive if I may so so, ser.
[It is a bit foolish to stand here and talk about swordsmanship but...well, Robb can't help it.]
no subject
I'm not here for compliments. Are you here to fight or not?
[At least Robb didn't think he was a hot chick. People make that assumption far too often for Kanda's comfort.]
no subject
No, I am here to sit around and watch how they raid the ship.
[More deadpanning before he points out the sword he is carrying.]
Of course I am here to fight. [He’d probably be not as good at it as this man here, but he knows his way around. And to prove his point the raider right behind the group that got butchered by this man gets a sword through the gut.] It helps that they come with such awful armor.
[Modern people do not care for defenses, so it seems.]
no subject
They're used to guns. Not that it stops them from coming at us with crowbars.
[Kanda can't say much about armor, since he's currently not wearing any; it's just a stylish black uniform.
He clocks a guy in the head with the hilt of his sword ever so casually.]
You hurt anywhere?
no subject
[It is good to know these raiders are being quite stupid and defenseless.
When Kanda brings one guy down while only using the hilt of his sword, Robb moves around him to finish the job by jamming his sword right through his ribcage.]
I am not. [He taps the armor the ship has provided him.] I wear ringmail underneath.
no subject
[Kanda doesn't mind having someone else steal his kills. This isn't a competition-- this is a bloody battle.]
You some kind of knight or something?
no subject
The thought flashes through his mind but he decides to let it rest. It is simply not the time to go and wonder about such things.]
Ah...yes...
[He nods and goes on with what he’s doing, not looking very fazed when the man sinks to the ground.]
No, I am not. You do not need to be a knight to handle a sword. [And he does not want to talk about how he has been a king.] Are you?
