November 20th, 2199Session 23: Let the Games Begin
A week after the destruction of the Maverick forces, the Unit is called to escort a group of cargo ships to a docking bay in another system. So, Snipe, Garland, Avatar, Spirit, Diamondback, Dias, and Paladin (with Slasher on his way too) all head out. After some rough flying, they manage to arrive and begin to have the time of their lives on the station, Garland dragging Dias to church while the rest go off to gamble (Paladin heads to a bar). Snipe and Garland later get into a dancing contest while Dias gets the other players who are gambling in trouble by claiming they are cheating. The announcer on the station calls that a tournament is going on, so everyone heads there, including Ace Hunter. Upon arriving there, they split into their own groups and begin to battle it out with each other. Ace Hunter proves to be a worthy match and manages to defeat Snipe, and Dias is defeated by Paladin, while Garland is defeated by Diamondback, Avatar, and Spirit. Garland and Snipe get into a friendly battle, in which Snipe loses, again, while Paladin and Slasher go at it, and the other three battle Ace Hunter. In the end, Ace Hunter wins the cash prize when Snipe forces them all to head back to Earth, worried about a strange blank transmission he received. November 21st, 2199Session 24: Dead Earth Part 1
The group that went into space hurries home, not suspecting the danger that is lurking outside Earth... cloaked. Xevil has finally arrived at Earth on the orders of the emperor himself, while the rest of the Tsivrixsh council debates what to do with Earth. Part of the council now himself, Xevil will stop at nothing to gain the 1st seat in the council. The attack is launched on the Armed Forces HQ and Spade's house, both quickly being destroyed. General Steel, Grave, Ripple, and Iceman struggle to hold the fort down while Snipe, Paladin, Garland, Dias, Slasher, Avatar, Diamondback, and Spirit land at the base, blocked in by an attack they never saw coming! Together, the group heads out to rescue as many members of their unit as they can and escape the base. However, the price begins to prove high when Iceman is forced to sacrifice his life to assure that the group can continue on. Joined by X2 and Garland's daughter, Sharlena, Snipe leads the team to the teleporter room to teleport them to the spacestation Freedom when Xevil crashes the party, already having killed Steel in one blow. Xevil, thinking he had the unit trapped, began to gloat and tell them about his battle with General Death Star and claims he killed him! Snipe quickly launches a destracting attack while everyone teleports up to the station above Earth and Snipe quickly follows, with a pissed Xevil blowing up the teleporter room. Now it's a race to escape the planet Earth and Xevil..... Session 25: Dead Earth Part 2 In a desperate bid to save some of humanity, the Fury activates it's teleported and manages tp teleport a half a million people from the dying planet - but the strain destroys the teleporters, rendering them useless. But as they finally begin their escape from Earth, the alien's have other plans, and a mysterous call from someone barely saves their lives - warning them of a trap laid out for them. Arriving at the old Hunter HQ, they fly down to it and make a vow to stop this war once and for all, renaming themselves The Hunters in honor of the first team who beat the Tsivrixsh. However, Xevil attacks the station with them on it, and the old run-down station cannot survive and is destroyed, with the Hunters barely escaping to the Fury and leaping into hyperspace, heading for Foreigner Inc. November 22nd, 2199Session 26: Shattering
Traveling through space, while heading towards Foreigner Inc., might shake the newly formed Hunters even worse than anything that Xevil could throw at them. A fight within the team is unleashed after tensions are bottled up and angry feelings are finally lashed out against each other. With everyone growing verbal and resulting to name calling, will the Hunters continue on...or utterly and miseribly shatter? And who is the Hunter that quits the team? Session 27: Rejected and Alone
