《A sith dies, A huntsman rises.》White fang part 2
Advertisement
A red blade came to life from his weapon, her eyes were wide as the chain that tied her to a pole cracked like it was nothing. She looked around the room she was trapped in, she saw the panic in their eyes, but they were not moving, as if they were frozen in place.
She was about to get on her feet, but an invisible force lifted her gently from the ground, she didn't resist as she was too tired to even try.
She levitated until she was finally placed behind one of the metal walls of the outside fortress.
Somehow, she had a feeling that she and her sister would get to see their mother again.
Vader released the force stasis in which he had placed the room to take the girl out of harm's way. She was far too young to be placed in a situation like that.
The White Fang members finally managing to move after being frozen in place, but they were still in shock of what had just happened. 20 in total, more of them deeper into the small base.
White fang member: KILL HIM!
One of them ordered, finally taking the room out of their trance.
Vader: This will take but a moment.
Vader said as dust rounds started to fly across the room. He moved from the center of the room, avoiding the hail of gunfire. In between dodging the bullets, he threw his lightsaber, the spinning weapon eliminating 6 of them before returning to Vader's hand.
Vader approached another group, carving a path between them with his lightsaber, 5 of them fell to his blade before he caught another 2 in a force choke. He continued dashing across the room, cracking the necks of the pair he had in the choke.
The remaining of them realized they were fighting a losing battle and decided to retreat.
white fang member: FUCKING RUN!
They screamed in terror, running behind one of the blast doors. Vader let them, walking in a steady pace towards them. They ran to a hallway, trying to escape Vader's wrath. When almost all of them were through, one of them pulled the lever controls of the door, in turn, the security door closed and left one of them behind.
WF: OPEN UP!
The unfortunate White Fang member screamed at his comrades on the other side. hitting at the reinforced glass and hoping for a miracle to save him from Vader's wrath.
Sadly, it would not come, as Vader's lightsaber pierced through his back and the door. Vader used the force to pull the lever and open the door again. One of them realized of it and tried to overpower Vader in a futile attempt. The White Fang members stared in utter terror at the opening door.

When it finally opened, the body of the recently deceased WF grunt fell to the ground.
6 of them left.
The unknown man was killing them. As he ran, he decided to go to the control room to warn of what was happening. The 6 of them were all that was left of the small garrison of the provisional base Kilo. The group continued ahead but he took a right in the narrow hallways of the base.
He ran to the door, opened it with a kick, and hid inside, he heard as the footsteps passed and continued following the path the rest of his comrades had chosen.
He approached the control panel and entered lockdown mode for the base, which turned off the lights in the base, something that would potentially blind the man attacking them.
Then, he approached the comms, turning them on and tuning the frequency the White Fang used for important messages to HQ.
WF member: HQ. HQ. Do you copy HQ? This is Sergeant Akira. Over.
HQ: This is HQ, we copy, Sergeant Akira. Over.
They replied, thank Oum.
Serbeant Akria: We are under attack. The attacker is unknown; I suspect it's some kind of huntsman. I repeat, provisional base Kilo is under attack. Over.
Akira replied into the comms, a small silence before the reply came.
HQ: Acknowledged. How many attackers? Over.
Akira: Only one man, do not send reinforcements. I say again, do not send reinforcements. We need an elite team, Adam Taurus included.
He informed HQ. If they sent recruits or infantry, it would simply be sending more members to their deaths.
HQ: Sergeant, I regret to inform you that reinforcements will not arrive in time. Not even in a bullhead. Over
The voice at the other side of the comms replied, Akira was frustrated.
Akira: What do you mean?! HQ, we are getting slaughtered over here. Over.
He practically screamed at the comms, only regaining his composure at the end.
???: Be calm sergeant
A new, younger, voice said. Adam Taurus.
Akira: Adam, sir, we need immediate support in Kilo, (Akira told the leader of the Vale branch of the White Fang) This is a massacre, and, with all due respect, I'm not sure even you could take on this man.
Akira was about to continue when he heard breathing behind.
Akira: He's here. Over.
Akira: My life for the faun-
His words were interrupted when he was swiftly killed by Vader's lightsaber.
???: Sergeant Akira, do you copy?
???: He's dead.
Another one talked, male and young.
Vader did not have the time for worrying over the conversations of terrorists, so he turned and walked towards the exit of the room.

???: I know you can hear me; I will kill you,
The male voice told him as Vader continued his stride. He scoffed at the notion.
???: Turn on video feed.
???: Yes sir.
Vader finally left the room. The CCTV of the complex coming to life.
Vader continued walking through the narrow hallways, something that would have been potentially debilitating for Huntsmen with large weapons. Of course, it was of no concern to Vader, as his lightsaber cut through almost anything, except, apparently, dust-coated weaponry.
The base apparently had a set of underground hallways, perfect for an escape, they would not have the opportunity though.
Another group tried to pounce on him with blades, Vader made short work of them, leaving their corpses behind as he continued moving through the not-so-small base.
He could feel the presence's ahead of him, stationary, waiting for him.
Vader finally reached them. He knew they could see him clearly in the darkness of the base and, through his visor, he could see them perfectly as well.
Vader stood still, watching them raise their rifles at him, and ignited his lightsaber. They were frozen in fear for a second but took action shortly after.
WF member: Light him up!
With that, they opened fire, there was not any space to dodge in the narrow hallway, so he had no choice but to block the rounds with his saber.
When the first bullets made contact, they melted instantly, molten dust hitting Vader's suit, not as it mattered. Vader moved his lightsaber expertly, blocking the slugs as he advanced.
WF member: I'm dry
One of them proclaimed. The barrage of bullets stopping. Vader watched as another door opened behind the group. A large and muscled man stepped out, carrying what seemed to be a heavy blaster.
How?
Man: DIE!
He screamed, opening fire on Vader. They were better off shooting him with dust rounds.
The blaster bolts were reflected by Vader's lightsaber, each and every one of them reflecting and hitting a different member of his small welcome group. The bolts hit all but one of the members, as one of them hit the wall behind him, the guy's mouth was agape, shocked by the display he had just witnessed. He quickly threw his gun to the side and raised his hands in surrender.
Vader: A wise move.
Vader told him before using the force to lift him by a force choke.
Vader: I missed on purpose. (Vader informed him) Where is the girl?
Man: S-She is in holding cell 2
He replied to Vader's query between breaths.
Vader: Good.
Vader answered, briefly pondering whether to kill him or not, but he decided against it, rather choosing to slam him against one of the walls in the hallway, knocking him unconscious instantly. Vader called the blaster to his hand with the force, it wasn't an Imperial heavy blaster, it was some kind of heavy blaster Vader had never seen before, but how did the White Fang get their hands on something like that?
Regardless, Vader dropped the blaster in the ground and headed to the location the, now unconscious White Fang member had told him the girl would be kept in.
Vader arrived at the holding cell in which the girl was kept, sealed shut because of the lockdown, he used his lightsaber to pierce it, a scream came from the other side when he did it.
The door receded to his lightsaber and Vader stepped inside, a girl, no older than 17, cuffed and thrown on the floor, clear signs of mistreatment all over her skin.
Girl: Is my sister alright?
She asked. Vader deactivated his lightsaber and used the force to destroy the handcuffs.
Vader: She is safe
Vader assured her, helping her to her feet.
Girl: Thank you.
Vader used the force to start healing her while they walked when the speakers came to life and a voice addressed him once again.
Girl: Who are you?
The voice resonated through the entire complex, the same male voice of the comms room. Vader signaled the girl to keep going towards the exit and he stopped to face the camera.
Vader: I am Vader. You would do well in remembering that
Vader replied, raising a fist into the air and reaching through the force to kill the power of the whole facility.
Blake Belladonna found herself shaking, sickened at what she had just seen. Firstly, the huntsman had slaughtered more than 20 people with complete disregard for their lives.
And she was also sickened at the thought of the White Fang kidnapping innocent people and chaining them to poles, like animals.
Vader: I am Vader. You would do well in remembering that
The sound from the video feed came through before the whole transmission suddenly died.
Adam: What happened?!
Adam spat out to the poor Faunus in charge of the comms.
Faunus: I don't know, it seems the power of all of the Kilo base is out.
She replied, Blake, watched as Adam clenched his fists in fury, fully expecting him to lash out at the one in charge of comms, such a violent man he had become.
Adam: Blake, (He said between grit teeth) Grab your gear. We have a train to catch.
Oh, they sure did.

With the help of his doctor, it looks like Jericho finally hit a breakthrough, and after a few years of being powerless, things might start looking up for him. Join Jericho and others as they interact in this world where everyone has extraordinary abilities. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ HIATUS NOTE (Please read): Starting June, I will be going on a summer hiatus (around 3 months) to focus on my future career and set myself up to succeed in school. I will still be writing in the meantime and creating a backlog, but I won't be posting chapters. I apologize for this. I wish there was another way. Note: This story has multiple POVs, but the main one is Jericho. The MC grows and develops throughout the story and isn't instantly OP. I try to write ~1500 words per chapter but I write according to what I feel is suitable. (Could be more. Could be less). The content warning tags are mostly for flexible writing, but do expect it or something of the sort. This is a story suitable for older teens and adults. Schedule: New chapter every other Sunday (sometimes Monday if I'm a bit behind).
