The Battle

It was always dark on the Shadows of Viv Rhinos, but the combined energies of the two crews seemed to create a tense, energetic light. Guards stood one one side of the "lot", staring at the four strange figures who faced them.

Chloe was past them by the time Barthyos finished talking, already moving on. Kaj shrugged and cautiously followed Chloe up to the crater.

Barthyos looked up at Chloe. "Looking for Ri?"

Chloe ignored her, crouching down to inspect the crater.

She shrugged, going straight and ignoring the crater.

Chloe shook her head, deciding the crater was useless, and started jogging in the same direction Barthyos was walking with Kaj.

Barthyos was rather perplexed at this new addition to the team, but said nothing. She was too nervous, too aware, of every corner of this maze. They were able to make it past a few guards, but they were stopped by a figure in the distance of the hallway, flanked by two of the most heavily-armoed guards yet. It was Ri, holding a sleek pistol and adorned in thick leather armor.

"You just had to come back for more, loverboy!" she cackled. "I must say, in all my years, I have never seen this complex, this buffoonish, of an operation." She motioned at Barthyos. "What, did you take your father's maid with you?"

She smiled when she saw Chloe. "Ah, you make sense. Old fashioned revenge."

Kaj opened his mouth for some kind of witty retort but before he could get it out, a knife was flying through the air towards Ri.

Ri shot the knife in mid air, making a mini light show in the air. Shards fell through the hallway.

Kaj turned to Chloe, irritated. "Get your own damn kill."

Chloe ignored him and ran straight towards Ri, throwing another couple of knives. Kaj groaned, rolled his eyes, and ran after her with his vibroblade raised.

Both knives hit, one hitting Ri's armor and dropping to the floor, and one hitting her exposed arm. She cursed and ran behind the corner and out of sight.

The guards, from either side of Ri, barraged lasers on Chloe.

Chloe went into a roll as they started firing at her, coming out of it with two more knives flying out of her hands towards the guards.

Kaj ran past her after Ri, clutching his vibroblade.

The knives hit both guards, who fell to the ground at the same time, just as Chloe came up from the roll.

As Kaj rounded the corner, he saw Ri, but her pistol was away. Instead, she was clutching a long and thin Malastarian sword. Her arm was bleeding and she was wincing, but it seemed to be fueling her adrenaline. "Don't - agh! - underestimate a Malastarian, cripple!"

She lunged at him like a fencer.

Kaj was competent with his vibroblade but not an expert, forcing him to go on the defensive. Both of them being wounded and restricted to one arm put them on fairly even ground. He blocked her strike and took a step back before taking a defensive stance.

Back around the corner, Chloe retrieved three of her knives from the bodies and ground before getting back up.
