Galactic Wolf Gang

Episode 3: Citytus rumble


Roxy/Star-Wolf was busy checking and cleaning her weapons while heading towards a planet in her ship the Hounder. Nene came in.
“Hey Roxy.” She said.
“Hey.” Roxy/Star-Wolf replied.
“This is a fascinating ship.”
“Thank you. The ship may be old but over the years it’s been active it’s owners have been constantly upgrading it with the latest tech, shielding, and weapons.”
“How old?”
“From what I learned from the old records, it’s over 4,000 years old. It used to be called the Ebon Hawk till I got ahold of it. I repainted it and renamed it.”
Nene looked and saw a closed door. “What’s in that door?”
“Don’t know. Never got the codes for it. As far as i know the rooms pretty small. Not big enough to hold something major like a speeder. Probably the size of a bathroom.”
"Maybe we can get Grey to open it. He’s good with tech.”
“Not right now. He’s driving.”
“HEADS UP! WE’RE INBOUND!” They heard someone yell from the cockpit.
Roxy/Star-Wolf put down her weapons and headed to the cockpit. The looked and saw the planet.
“The city planet of Citytus. The entire planet is one big city. Like Coruscant.” Tony said.
“Your buyer is here?” Roxy/Star-Wolf asked.
Nene and Tony nodded. The Hounder landed on a platform not far from where they were supposed to go. Grey saw the closed door just as they were going to the ramp to get off.
“What’s behind that door Roxy?” He asked.
“Don’t know.” Roxy/Star-Wolf answered.
“I can get it open for you.”
He began typing on the keyboard on a nearby computer. And soon enough the door opened. Inside had two very old deactivated droids.
“Whoa. These droids are old. They look older than me.” Roxy/Star-Wolf said inspecting the two droids.
“An assassin droid and an astromech. Definitely old old models.” Grey said. They saw some tubes on them. “These are chargers. All droids run on battery. Not sure how long they’ve been on them.”
He removed the tubes and found the power switches.
“Re-re activating.” said the assassin droid. “Statement: Thank you for reactivating me and my astromech companion. I am HK-47. And these is my astromech companion T3-M4. We serve our master.”
The astromech T3-M4 bleeped and blooped.
“Translation: Since our original master passed away. We are now owned by the one who owns this ship.” HK-47 said, translating T3-M4’s binary language.
“That would be me.” Roxy/Star-Wolf said.
“So you are an assassin droid?” Grey asked.
“Recitation: Yes. as I said. I am an assassin droid. It’s my primary function to burn holes through meat bags my master wishes removed from the galaxy.” HK-47 said.
“What all can you do?” Roxy/Star-Wolf asked.
“Answer: I can wield any weapon with ease. I’m an excellent combatant program with hundreds and thousands of know fighting styles, and I’m a very good translator and a good pilot of any aircraft.”
“Interesting.”
“What about T3-M4 here.” Grey asked.
T3-M4 bleeped and blooped.
“Translation: I can interface with terminals and I’m a good repairer. I can help slice terminals, and unlock doors that your ordinary meat bag cannot. He also as a small blaster concealed and attached to him in case he needs to fight.” HK-47 translated.
“I knew I should’ve learned how to understand droid binary.” Roxy/Star-Wolf said to herself.
“So how old are you.” Tony and Nene asked.
“Answer: I don’t entirely know. I’ve been off for so long. Let’s just say me and T3-M4 are as old as the ship.” HK-47 said. T3-M4 bleeped and blooped some more. “Translation: If we are going to be in your service we need to know your names.”
“I’m Roxy. People call me Star-Wolf” Roxy/Star-Wolf said.
“Tony’s my name.” Tony said.
“I’m Grey.” Grey said.
“And I’m Nene.” Nene finished.
“Statement: It is a pleasure to be in service of you four.” HK-47 said.
He sure talks weird, Nene thought.
“Well, we got business to attend to. Stay here and guard the ship. But no killing anyone.” Roxy/Star-Wolf said.
“Confirmation: As you wish master.” HK-47 said.
Roxy/Star-Wolf and the her wolf companions exited the ship.
“Looks like our crew just got bigger.” Nene said.
“Our crew?” Roxy asked.
“Well…”
“No said you could be part of my crew.”
“But you could use a crew.” Grey said.
Roxy/Star-Wolf said nothing. She knew he was right. She was the main one that took care of the ship. She usually flew solo on missions and rarely teaming up with others. They saw a pink skinned alien with head tails on her. It was a Twi’lek.
“Mr. Collection will be pleased to know you are here. I’ll let him know you’re here. I’ll come get you when you four our summoned.” said the Twi’lek.
“Very good. We hope this mission was worth it.” Nene said.
The Twi’lek walked away to tell the one known as Mr. Collection that they were there.
“For the time being, let’s head into the cantina.” Roxy/Star-Wolf said.
They walked in and saw dozens of people. Humans, anthros, and aliens alike.
“Try not to kill anyone. Or piss anybody off.” Grey said.
“Also word of advice. Avoid the Tarisian Ale. That drink’s got quite a kick. Trust me.” Roxy/Star-Wolf said.
As they went to sit down another wolf spotted the four. The wolf got up and left. As soon he was outside he took out a com link.
“Tell the Wolfton Empire the traitors are on Citytus.” he said.
Back in the cantina the four were chatting.
“I never knew my mother. She disappeared after I was born. Then my father got really sick and died. And the day he died was they day the Growlithes took me from my home world, Earth. I was only 10 when it happened. Now here I am 17 years later.” Roxy/Star-Wolf said taking a sip of her drink.
“My parents were killed by Wolffe when I was very young. I wanted revenge. So I thought if I joined up with Nene i could get close enough to kill him.” Tony said.
“Nene?”
“My sister and I were trained to be soldiers to follow in our parent’s footsteps. However me and my sister did not get along well at all. She was the complete opposite of me. Deranged, evil, and twisted. My parents found her hard to handle. We joined the academy on Furryton. But Deedee’s evil and twisted nature made her leave and join the evil Wolfton Empire. When I was assigned the secret mission i had to trick her into believing that i believed that Wolfton was the good guys as she believed. But since i haven’t shown with the cube at Wolfton they’ll suspect something's up.” Nene said.
“What about you Grey? What’s your story?” Tony asked.
Grey said nothing. He was one who didn’t like to talk about his past.
“Grey?” Roxy/Star-Wolf said, concerned for him.
“I don’t want to talk about it. All you need to know is that i’m a tech expert and a bounty hunter/mercenary.” Grey said.
Roxy/Star-Wolf sat that pondering.
“Have any of you thought of being a mercenary?” She asked.
“Well, yeah. But the Growlithes have a bounty on your head. So we can’t join them.” Nene said.
“What if i was to lead you.” The three looked at her. “Now that i know the Wolfton is after the cube, so I dare not give it to anyone who would misuse whatever's in it. And since Durius the one who was going to buy it off me backed out of it. I have a feeling Kanine would misuse it. I may be a mercenary but i at least have a sense of justice.”
The three thought hard. Just then the pink skinned Twi’lek came in.
“Mr. Collection will see you now.” She said.
The four got up and followed. A Kel Dor alien in Growlithe armor saw Roxy/Star-Wolf and took out his com link and contacted the leader of the Growlithes.
“Kanine. I found Roxy. She’s here on Citytus” He said.
The four wolves followed the Twi’lek into a building. They saw Mr. Collection had all kinds of stuff. He was a collector, a preserver. Hence the name.
“May I present. Preserve Collection.” Said the pink skinned Twi’lek.
“Thank you Kori. please call me Mr. Collection” Mr. Collection said walking up. Mr. Collection was a white furred fox, or an arctic fox has it’s known. He wore a black outfit with a black cape.
“Do you have it?” Mr. Collection asked.Roxy/Star-Wolf to out the cube. She dropped it and caught it before it hit the floor. Mr. Collection took the cube. He placed it in a device that started to open it up. “These cubes contain a powerful crystal called an Ultra Crystal. It one of the galaxies most powerful crystals. It’s power could make powerful weapons and devices. Powerful enough to mow down an entire city like wheat in a field. Only beings powerful enough can hold the crystal. Any other that would hold the crystal would be destroyed in mere minutes.”
The cube was opened revealing the blue glowing crystal. Roxy/Star-Wolf was secretly worried. Mr. Collection got excited.
“Fascinating. Said their are very few in existence. Six in total. Each in a different color.” He said.
“That’s nice and all but we’d like to get paid.” Grey said.
“Very well. 100,000 credits I believe. Since there’s four of you, you each get 25,000.” Mr. Collection said. He started getting the credits for them. He looked up to see Kori, his pink skinned Twi’lek assistant get close to the crystal. “Kori… get away from that.”
“I’LL NO LONGER BE YOUR SLAVE!” Kori yelled.
She grabbed the crystal! The Energy flew from the crystal destroying  objects. Grey and Tony ran out while Mr. Collection, Roxy/Star-Wolf, and Nene took cover. They heard the screams of the Twi’lek. The energy sparking from the crystal was destroying nearby cases, trinkets and other things Mr. Collection collected. The chaos then stopped. Roxy/Star-Wolf and Nene peek from the spot they used for cover.
“What the f-” Roxy/Star-Wolf started to say.
The last word was unheard due to sparking electricity from destroyed wires. Nene rushed and closed the cube back up.
“How was i to know that Mr. Collection was able to contain what was in the cube!” Nene said, as she and Roxy/Star-Wolf walked out.
“WHY DO YOU STILL HAVE THAT THING!” Grey yelled, coming up and seeing Nene holding the cube.
“We’ve got to get this out of Wolffe’s paws! He would destroy the galaxy if he got ahold of this!”
“How care’s about the galaxy you idiots!”
“Because we’re the idiots who live in it!” Roxy/Star-Wolf yelled.
“Guys?” Tony said trying to get their attention.
No one heard.
“We need to get this to the New Nova Corp.” Nene said.
“Guys!?” Tony said again.
Still no one paid attention to him.
“I agree. Even though we could get arrested because we escaped jail.” Roxy/Star-Wolf said.
“PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE ME!” Tony yelled at the top of his lungs.
“What?!” Nene, Roxy/Star-Wolf, and Grey said in unison.
Tony pointed towards the sky. They turned and saw Wolfton ships!
“OH DAMN! OH SHIT!” Nene cursed.
Roxy/Star-Wolf looked and saw Kanine. Kanine saw her.
“ROXY! DON’T YOU MOVE GIRL!” He yelled.
“Well son of a bitch.” Roxy/Star-Wolf cursed.
“Let’s get out of here!” Grey said.
The four ran. But wherever they turn they saw Wolf Droids. The four saw three one man mining pods that the inhabitants used to mine for metals. They also saw Wolffe, Deedee, and Wolfius heading their way.
“GO YOU GUYS! I’LL HOLD THEM OFF!” Tony said taking out his knifes.
“TONY NO!” Nene said.
“THERE’S NO TIME TO ARGUE! GO!” The three hopped in the star fighters. “AND NENE!” Nene looked at Tony. “I’Ll ALWAYS LOVE YOU!”
The three pods took off.
“I’ll come back Tony. I promised.” Nene said.
“We need to get back to the Hounder!” Roxy/Star-Wolf said.
Wolffe saw the three pods.
“Deedee, Wolfius, get the cube. I’ll handle Tony.” Wolffe said.
“I’ll destroy them myself.” Wolfius said.
He hopped in his personal star fighter the Soul Hunter.
“NENE IS MINE TO KILL!” Deedee said hopping in her personal star fighter the Claw Killer.
The two chased the three with a squadron of Wolf Vulture Droid star fighters behind them.
“Target the the pod with Nene in it. DESTROY IT!” Wolfius ordered the Wolf Vulture Droids.
The Wolf Vulture Droids opened fired on the three pods.
“Grey we’ve got to protect Nene. These pods have industrial grade armor, they’re nearly indestructible.” Roxy/Star-Wolf said.
“Not against fighters.” Grey retorted.
“That’s not what I’m saying.”
“Oh.”  
A devilish grin formed on Grey’s face. He then rammed his pod into a nearby star fighter. It exploded and Grey and his pod emerged unscathed. He then rammed into another star fighter. Roxy/Star-Wolf also rammed into a few star fighters. Back on the ground Tony faced against Wolffe.
“Finally. After so many years. I can have my revenge.” Tony said.
“I’m not sure what you’re talking about.” Wolffe said.
“You killed my mother. You killed my father. And now you’ll pay for it.”
He attacked with in knives and Wolffe skillfully blocked his attacks with his special curved hilt sword.
“I don’t remember killing you parents.” Wolffe said. Wolffe then side ramed Tony knocking him down. “I doubt I’ll remember killing you either traitor.”
Tony narrowly dodged a stab form Wolffe’s sword. Then Tony was kicked hard in the head and fell to the ground. Meanwhile Nene was having trouble dodging shots. The three pods were high in the sky.
“Roxy I can’t get back to the Hounder. I’ve got to get out of here.” Nene said.
Nene started to head into space.
“WAIT! THESE PODS AREN’T MEANT TO GO OUT THERE!” Roxy/Star-Wolf exclaimed.
But Nene took no notice.
“Sis, if Wolffe gets the crystal. He’ll kill everybody.” Nene said.
“Not everyone. You’ll already be dead.” Deedee replied.
Deedee shot missiles at the pod. Nene was knocked clear out of the pod by the explosion. Roxy/Star-Wolf stared in horror. Nene floated there unconscious. Deedee used a grapple to grab the cube. Meanwhile Wolffe dragged an unconscious Tony towards a fountain and threw him in!
“Sir. it is done.” Deedee said through a com link.
Wolffe boarded his ship and took of. The rest of the Wolfton Empire headed back towards his command ship the Doom Bringer. Meanwhile back at where Roxy/Star-Wolf and Grey was, Roxy/Star-Wolf stared in horror.  
“She won’t last long Rox. These pods weren't meant to be out here. If we don’t get out of here we’ll be in the same boat.” Grey said.
Grey started to leave.
“Dammit.” Roxy/Star-Wolf cursed. She pressed on a com link button. “Kanine! Kanine! I’m up here in orbit on Citytus.”
“Roxy! What are you doing?!” Grey exclaimed, turning back around.
“If you’re there come get me. I’m all yours.”
Roxy put on a breather to allow her to breath in space. She then exited the pod.
“GET BACK IN YOUR POD!” Grey yelled. Using her mini rockets Roxy/Star-Wolf floated towards Nene. “You can’t fit two people in there! You’ll die in seconds. ROX!”
Roxy/Star-Wolf took a deep breath before she took off her breather and put it on Nene. Roxy/Star-Wolf heard her breathing again. Grey just stared. Then Roxy/Star-Wolf saw the lights of ships approaching. It was the mother ship of the Growlithes mercenary team. Roxy held on to Nene as they pulled them in using a tractor beam. They pulled them in and they landed safely in the ship. Nene was coughing. She looked and saw Roxy/Star-Wolf by her.
“Roxy? You risked your life to save me?” Nene asked.
“I couldn’t let you die. I just wasn’t going to let one of my friends die.” Roxy/Star-Wolf said.
“Thanks.”
“They got the cube.”
“I know.”
They heard a door open and they saw Growlithe mercenary with their guns and blasters pointed at them.
“Welcome home Roxy.” said a member.
Meanwhile Tony was drag out of the fountain by Grey. Grey did some CPR and Tony sprung back to life. He coughed up some water.
“Ugh. God dammit.” Tony cursed. He looked and saw Grey. “I’m not good at saying this but, thank you.”
“Roxy and Nene got captured by the Growlithes. And the Wolfton Empire has the cube.” Grey said.
“Well we just have to get em’ back then.”
“Are you serious!? You want to rescue Roxy and Nene and get back the crystal from the guys that just kicked our asses?!”
“Yes. I not going to let our friends die. And i’ll need your help as well my friend. With the help of HK-47 and T3-M4, we might succeed.”
Grey growled in frustration and he started kick a patch of grass. “You’re making... me… beat… up… grass!”
Grey and Tony then walked to the Hounder where HK-47 was waiting.
“Warm the ship for takeoff. We’re going to rescue Nene and Roxy.” Grey said.
The two boarded and the ship took off. Heading towards the Growlithe mother ship.
