As the demonic woman did what she could to make good her escape, the assembled mass of the Empire's finest readied their weapons to deal with the ones left behind.
"Captain!" the lone ultramarine barked, his voice a deep, rumbling boom of sound. "Have your men deal with the escapee, the abomination and the animal." His helmeted gaze lowered, burning red lenses of his helmet resting on Desman. "And you, robot. You are henceforth banned from setting foot within the Empire. Now, accept the Emperor's Mercy!" In a blur of azure and gold, a massive boot came up and impacted with a deafening crash. A thunderous, squealing crunch of steel and stone, as the confused robot was reduced to a smoking, sputtering pile of scrap on the ground, in a boot-shaped crater.
The giant marine turned and despite his slow, lumbering gait from before as he exited the drop pod, his movements now were anything but slow. For such a giant being to move with such celerity was alarming. A blurred rush of blue, gold and white, streaks of red from blazing eye-lenses, and a noise like a pair of hammers pounding solid stone into powder. The great astartes thundered after the fleeing woman, bolter held in both hands. A single, mighty leap was all it took to send him rocketing up, and smashing through a window in the very same office building she had fled into. A noise like the entire building was coming down sounded as the bulk of the super soldier crashed onward, his momentum not slowing. A wall in his path didn't slow him, barging through it as if it were wet tissue.
Ash was no fool. The ruckus was enough to send her running as quickly as she could, trying to get away from the rampaging beast that had set its sights on her. But for all her speed, inhuman as it was, the predator was more spry than the prey. A deafening, explosive report sent a smell of something burning through the air, and what felt like pure, red-hot agony lit up every nerve in her body. She stumbled, trying to take another step, but a second explosive report sounded and a spike of pain hit her square in the back. She went down, slumping against a desk.
The pounding, hammer-strides of the space marine drew nearer. "Breaking into an Imperial prison. Assault of Imperial soldiers. Aiding in the escape of an Imperial prisoner. Resisting arrest. Assault of an Imperial Space Marine." The impossibly deep, modulated voice spoke up in an even, measured manner. A massive boot planted itself in the storm demon's side, 'gently' nudging her off of the desk with a bone-crunching kick. Over the desk, and into another one she went, reducing it to a pile of splinters and leaving her to stare up at the massive behemoth as he approached her again. "For these crimes, you are henceforth banned from setting foot in Coruscant. Doing so is a capital offense, and will be met with swift retribution. For the safety of all Imperial citizens is this decree made."
The bolter in the Space Marine's hands slowly rose, the barrel pointing squarely at Ash's face. "The Emperor protects." A quick one-two-three of explosive bursts, and the woman's head was no more, only a messy splattering of bits of skull and brain and scorched wood of the desk remained.

On the streets below, the stormtrooper captain had returned to an intense staredown with Jak, the prime still locked in an in-between stance. Ready to leap into a fight, or to leap into fleeing. "I'd suggest you think real hard about what you do next, prime." He gestured at what remained of Desman with a jerk of his head. "That was Empire Justice being swift and merciful. It was instant, painless. You give up now, you get the same treatment. Make this a fight, and it'll be a lot more drawn out. What's it gonna be, pal?"

Quote:Desman Black and Ash have been killed. They will respawn at the Fountain of Infinity in seven days, as per normal death rules. They are both banned from Coruscant, and the Empire will place a bounty on them if they are spotted within Coruscant.
