Yukki Kazuto gazes out a window on floor 60 of Drumpf Hotel and Casino. Across the street is the Narshada Luxury Hotel, it's darkly tinted windows reflecting the artificial afternoon sun strongly.
Crouched beside him, bolting a hydraulic powered zipline gun to the floor, is Jun. Yukki considers, not for the first time, how useful this teenage thug could be.
The bounty hunter turns his attention back to the window. On the ground, he thinks he can see Hellstab and Yuki.
***
Princess Hellstab emerges from the back of an unmarked white van along with several other girls, including her blonde teenage co-conspirator. The girls are all dressed in matching short cut kimonos, but the Princess has her pink plastic sword hidden on her back.
A Wookie in a tuxedo and black sunglasses eyes the crowd of nervous young girls, walking past them silently as they each turn their eyes away one by one. He stops when he sees the seven-year-old Princess Hellstab, taking only a single second to observe the youngest member of the group, then continuing down the line.
He presses an earpiece and speaks very softly, then waves the girls into the first floor of the Narshada Luxury Hotel.
***
An Imperial Gunship hovers quietly a few blocks south.
***
Yukki Kazuto breathes in. The Reaper breathes out.
He calmly kicks the window of the 60th floor of the Drumpf Hotel and Casino and shatters it.
***
Princess Hellstab rides in a cramped elevator with the shivering, nervous young girls.
She can understand their nerves; few things scare Princess Hellstab, but ending up in harem for a Hutt crime boss is definitely one of them.
The elevator dings, and the group steps out into the 40th floor of the Narshada Luxury hotel. Here, the security is blatant.
Wookies in tuxedos armed with blasters blanket the sparse room. On the other side, is a very special red elevator.
Only through this elevator could you get through the next ten levels of reinforced steel to the suite on floor 50.
The girls march through the line of Wookies to the very special red elevator, where one of them swipes a blue keycard in the elevator, and they cram themselves in.
The princess counts as the elevator rises.
It took twenty seconds. Which was was lucky, because she couldn't count much higher.
***
On the bottom floor of the Drumf Hotel and Casino, bits of shattered glass rain down on a fat, red-headed security guard.
***
The crowd of girls wander nervously into the posh upper suite of the Narshada Luxury Hotel. It is excessively, gluttonously rich. Twil'eks hung suspended in sparkling clear cages that double as chandeliers. Prostitutes lay stretched out on red velvet couches sipping champagne from crystal fluted glasses. Bulbous Hutts reclined and smoked strange hookas, blowing clouds of smoke over their entourages. In one corner of the vast suite several Hutts and human businessmen drank and roared at a pokemon fight; two Mankys with knives cutting each other viciously. At the back of the room, among the shadows, Voras the Hutt is nonetheless easily recognizable.
The ebony skinned Hutt is not smiling, though his his two smaller Hutt companions are. They are surrounded by a myriad of prostitutes and sex slaves of all different species, but Voras's squinty eyes convey the same serious tone they always do.
The elevator closes behind them.
***
Jun fires a harpoon with a long steel wire protruding from the back. It shatters through the 40th floor window of the Narshada Luxury Hotel and sticks fast in the floor. A long steel line now trails back to the Drumpf Hotel and Casino. He looks nervously at the Reaper.
The Reaper stares back coldly. "You got three minutes. Don't screw this up."
The bounty hunter then leaps out the window, using a hook to slide down the cable and into the 40th floor of the Narshada Luxury Hotel.
***
The Imperial Gunship receives a call, and its engine starts to hum.
***
The reaper breathes calmly as the Wookie guards on floor 40 fire red bolts of light form their blasters, dodging the beams effortlessly as he slides down the zipline. He lands in the 40th floor in a roll, dodging the wild blasts of the surprised wookies.
When he comes up, he is grinning.
***
Yuki slips behind a Wookie guard casually, a red keycard hidden behind her back. The blonde teenager deftly swipes it at the control panel for the very special red elevator. The ding of the elevator alerts the Wookie, who turns around grumpily. He cocks his head as he sees Yuki operating the controls. His eyes narrow, and he levels his blaster at her. He screams in his native Wookie as Princess Hellstab slices through his hands with her pink plastic katana.
The party stops.
Hellstab lowers her sword in front of her and counts to twenty.
***
The Reper swipes a blue keycard at the elevator. the doors open and he steps inside. As they close, he deftly observes the ten dead or dying dying wookies he left behind him.
***
Jun hurriedly retracts the cable on the zipline gun, then starts to unbolt it form the floor. He hefts the clunky machine and starts to run on wobbly legs down twenty flights of stairs.
About halfway through, he slams into a fat, red haired security guard and is sent sprawling.
***
Princess Hellstab screams her warcry as she guts a wookie guard with her flaming katana. Wookies and their hutt masters scramble to find their blasters and fire them at the elevator controls. Hellstab twists the sword, but doesn't let the wookie off, using his body as a shield against the incoming blaster fire.
She has counted to fourteen when the wookie has all but disintegrated, forcing her to abandon the corpse and try to use her katana to deflect the plasma.
She deflects two shots, dodges one, and a fourth singes her hair.
Twelve seconds.
***
The Reaper hums as the elevator rises.
***
Jun scrambles on the floor with the fat red haired security guard. He manages to kick the guards face as he rises to his feet, grabs the heavy zipline gun, and starts to hobble down the stairs again. The fat security guard lurches after him and manages to tackle the teenage boy on the stairs, causing the zipline gun to bounce out of his hands and down the staircase. Jun notices it lands at the feet of an equally fat middle aged Wookie guard.
Jun kicks his way free and stumbles down a few steps, but the fat wookie at the bottom of the stairs pulls out a nightstick. Jun looks behind him, and sees the red haired security guard has done the same. Both the guards are inching cautiously towards Jun.
The teenage brawler cracks his neck, and assumes a fighting stance.
As soon as Jun turns towards the Wookie, the red haired guard swings his baton at Juns head from behind. Jun ducks deftly and lets the fat mans weight carry him past, tripping over Jun and tumbling into his Wookie companion. Jun jumps over them and tries to grab the zipline gun, but the Wookie swings his club wildly form the ground, catching Jun in the shin and throwing him off balance, causing him to fall down the next flight of stairs. The two guards hustle down after him.
Jun is bruised but in a fighting stance as the guards come down the stair swinging their batons. He duck a swing from the redhead and returns a left uppercut that landed clumsily on his jaw. The Wookie strikes true however, the baton cracking one of Jun's ribs. Jun groans but delivers a solid right cross that sends the Wookie crashing through the wooden railing and onto the staircase below, where he lay still.
The red haired security guards roars swings his baton savagely, but Jun confidently leans back and avoids it, then connects with a one-two combo on the guards temple. The recently crowned employee of the month has a bloody nose, but bullrushes Jun, who deftly sidesteps him and watches security guard slam into the wall, go limp, and rolls down the stairs.
Jun grabs his zipline gun, and steps over the bodies of the security guards as he hobbles down to the 30th floor.
***
Hellstab cries out soundlessly as a blaster bolt hits her calf and makes her slump to one knee. A Klingon guard rushes forward with a Bat'leth, but Hellstab's flaming katana reaches up to meet it. She skewers the Klingon, and he sinks to the floor as the elevator doors open.
***
The Reaper explodes into the top story of the Narshada Luxury Hotel in a whirlwind of glittering steel knives and cacophonous gunshots. For many of the gathered Hutt crime bosses and their Wookie bodyguards, the rapid-fire explosions of the Reapers M4A1 Carbine would be the last thing they would ever hear.
Prostitutes scream as the chandeliers crash to the floor and the various hookahs and and champagne bottles around the room shatter. The Reaper calmly aims and fire his assault rifle, burying bullets deep into the organs of his enemies. His shoulder doesn't even hurt.
After a few tense moments of silence, the Reaper rose from his crouch, waiting for the smoke to settle. The only sound that could be heard were the groans of the dying and the soft, scared whimpers of the sex workers. At the back of the room, Voras the Hutt is dying.
The Reaper strolls casually over to the Hutt, noting the three bullet wounds in his bulbous gut. The obese alien wheezes as green blood trickles down his abdomen.
"My people," he gasps. "Will descend upon you like Armageddon."
The Reaper shrugs. "The more the merrier," he says dispassionately and he raises the gun and empties a clip into Voras.
***
On floor 30 of the Drumpf hotel and Casino, Jun swipes a yellow security card at a door. He walks through the asian themed suite casually and bolts his zipline gun to he floor.
***
The Reaper hears a whistle, and then a fiery explosion blasts him back twenty feet. Coughing through the cloud of smoke and dust, he gets to his feet, and sees Hellstab and Yuki do the same. Ahead of him, hovering in a massive hole blown in the wall, is an Imperial Gunship.
"Drop your weapons!" demands a crackly, electronic voice from the gunship.
***
Jun screams his sisters name as he sees the gunship blow a hole in the top story of the Rashada Luxury Hotel. He grits his teeth, and fires the harpoon upwards into the hole in the top story. The harpoon sticks, and the long steel cable leads back to Jun. He begins to pray.
***
Princess Hellstab leans on her sword, breathing raggedly, blood and sweat pooling into her eyes. She glances at Yuki. The teenagers eyes are filled with fear and pain. The grappling hook appears at the end of the hotel. The Princess sighs, and starts to run.
"No!" the Reaper screams, but it is too late. Two streams of 50 caliber bullet fire explode form the gunship. The Princess feels the world begin to slow down, and she slips through the streams of bullets with an uncanny quickness. Perhaps she has been spending too much time around Luci.
The seven year old Princess of the Westside Deathblades screams her last war cry as she leaps out the window, her flaming katana held over her head, and crashes into the cockpit of the gunship, driving her sword through it and deep into the pilots skull.
***
Jun watches the gunship lurch sharply downward, smashing into the bottom floor of the Narshada Luxury Hotel, and crashing into the ground in a fiery explosion.
***
Yuki is crying as she holds onto the Reaper's waist. The Reaper stares straight ahead as he ziplines down to the the Drumpf Hotel and Casino.
***
Later, at the abandoned strip club in T4 known as the Nasty Deeps, the Reaper, and Jun and Yuki meet with the other members of the T4 Knife Ear Warriors. The motley collection of teeange elves, dwarfs, humans, and gnomes watch in awe as the bloodspattered trio trudge into their gang hideout.
The President of the gang walks forward slowly, a towering wood elf named Cedar, and locks eyes with the Reaper.
The Reaper fishes around in his pocket for an arrowhead. "Hellstab should have done this," he says as grabs Cedar's hand and turn it palm-up. "But I'll have to do."
He then slices into Cedars palm, drawing blood. He dips two fingers in the blood, and wipes two lines of bloody warpaint under the elf's eyes. Cedar blinks, the President of the Westside T4 Knife Ear Warriors.
"Welcome to the neighborhood."
***
In an alley in T4, the Reaper breathes in deeply.
Yukki Kazuto exhales.
