Our tale continues our hero now as decided what he wants to do on this planet, he needs to find a pilot but where?

I chase him through the streets; I haven’t really used one of these before and find it hard to control, he on the other hand seems to be a natural and makes a good lead from me. I begin to wonder if I will catch him at any point as I wonder I see ahead that he has been taking down, I move close and see a space marine patrol unit, they had shot him down and were taking him away, damn this wasn’t good for me, I count them 5 space marines I could possibly take them down, it was now or never I turn on the elder weapons and fire at one of the space marines, the shredder cannon ripped him apart, before I had time to even fire a second round they shot the ship out form under me.

I fall hard to the ground; the wreckage of the jet bike skims across the floor and kills another space marine. Three left and this was not going to be a easy task, I crawled into a covered position I knew space marine tactics after fighting them during a Tau campaign. I think quickly I needed to get had shots only and they had to be direct, space marines are tough and with their battle armour its even harder to take them down, I hear them reloading their clips I listen for them to hit the ground, there using bolters that’s good news no plasma weapons and no heavy bolters.

I lift my head up quickly to take a look as I did so I hear three shots, I look behind me there is three bullet holes where my head had been, damn there very good, I begin to wonder if I can actually pull this off, I was out numbered and they are a deadly foe. As I begin to think of a plan I hear a jet bike I look down the lane from where I had come from there was three jet bikes coming down, they must be after me I hide, as they approach I hear them open fire at the space marines then I hear three explosions that was my cue, I pop out of my hiding place I take aim and shoot the first and second space marines in the head, they drop down dead, there was one more of them left, I look at the jet bikes and see that all of the riders had been killed.

I take my battle helmet off and move it around the side of the cover, I hear a shot the helmet gets knocked out of my hands I jump up, the space marine cant believe he was tricked so easily I fire ending his life, I then shoot the leader on the floor to make sure he doesn’t try running away.

I gather the pendant and grab my damaged helmet I had tools back at my quarters that should be able to repair the damage.

I return back to the inn and give the pilot the pendant he looks at me and declares that he will join me long as he gets 50% of all takings I agree, I show him the keys I had collected early from the men I had killed, he looks at them and decides that we should sell the ships, I agree.

Its been three weeks and I now have a world class pilot we also have sold the drop ship and bought a even bigger one with all the money I made from the ships I stole, we have bought a nice warehouse for base of operations, I have bought a arsenal of weapons ready for our first mission and I have a feeling that could be sooner then I think.

The End
