[OOM] Above Onderon - The Wyrm.

[stuck_mynock]

The trip to the Wyrm is fairly uneventful. They slide into its vast, almost empty landing bay and land silently, lights flicking off one by one.

Atton peers out of the cockpit speculatively, adjusting his gauntlet. The walls are metal, that much is clear, but wound through with something dark, organic and porous, that pulsates with the heartbeat coming from deeper within the ship.

"Nice."

"Eh, can't blame me for trying."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure I can." Koren shrugs, turning away. "Kill them. Kill them lots."

The droids start forward towards them.

[will_scarlett]

Will draws his blaster and fires at what looks like a power coupling on one of the droids.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy shoots at the droids' heads with his blaster, then as an afterthought, puts his sword back in its sheath, gets his stun gun out and starts combining the two beams to see if this will come up with something new they haven't started to evolve against.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton, for his part, ignores the droids completely. He speeds past them, drawing his sword to slash down at Koren. It's promptly blocked, as Koren draws his own sword from his chest. Atton will never stop being bewildered and a little disgusted by that.

The droids go down fairly quickly, sparking and collapsing before they have a chance to draw weapons.

[will_scarlett]

As the droids go down, Will moves towards the fight, not wanting to interfere but also wanting to help Atton.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy is surprised that the droids go down so easily, so gets his sword out and gives them another few hacks.

He hovers near Will and Atton, not wanting to get in the way.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Please, dudes, join in any time you like," Atton says, mildly, blocking a slash from Koren. "Your input is appreciated."

[will_scarlett]

Once Will hears that he moves to slash at Koren's side.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy moves around the other side and, protects his face with one arm and tries slashing at Koren's feet with his sword.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton swings at Koren's neck.

The three slashes could work better. Koren drops down, unnaturally fast, beneath both Atton and Will's swords, and spins, batting away Guppy's sword with his own, spurs sliding out of his feet to slash at the three's ankles as he turns.

[will_scarlett]

Will doesn't get out of the way in time and takes a nasty slash across his ankles and almost loses his balance as he strikes out at Koren again.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy, who had been expecting to have an attack to the face, is also caught out by the ankle slash, taking a bad cut to the left leg but getting his right one out of the way in time.

Adrenaline overrides pain, and pivoting on his remaining good leg, he uses the momentum to spin and thrust his right elbow at Koren's head, and bringing his sword down from head height.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

As Atton leaps out of the way, spinning over Koren's head, Koren straightens up, sword flashing around to block Will's, and a blade sliding out of one wrist to block Guppy's sword. His armour deals with Guppy's elbow easily enough.

Atton punches out with his gauntlet, but it bounces harmlessly off Koren's armour.

When Atton slashes downwards a moment later, Koren suddenly moves, sliding out of the way, and wrenching his sword about to push Will away. The wrist blade shudders and twists into a blunt tentacle, to help him as he moves to try to grab Guppy and swing him into the path of Atton's sword.

[will_scarlett]

Will meets the push and swings his sword low and towards Koren's torso as he stands and moves forward.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy is grabbed, and for one terrifying moment thinks he's going to go straight into the sword.

He grabs Koren's shoulder and thrusts his knee into the man's groin, hoping that if he does still hit the sword that his armoured vest will protect him.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Koren doesn't seem to be bothered by Guppy's knee, but as Guppy enters the path of Atton's sword, Atton flicks it about. It still hits Guppy's back with rather a lot of the force, but it hits with the flat of the blade, instead of the edge.

Will's sword leaves a long trail along Koren's torso, bleeding luminous blue liquids. Koren makes a rather unpleasant, raspy noise, turning on Will and swinging at him.

[will_scarlett]

So Will meets his blow but stays in tight as he draws his knife to stab at Koren's torso again.

[guppy_sandhu]

At the same time, Guppy, who is now more or less behind Koren, stabs at him in the back with his sword.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Koren jumps upwards, out of the way. Atton unflicks another vibrodisk from his belt, sending it spinning through the air to cut across Koren's foot.

He lands, rather gracelessly, raising his sword.

[will_scarlett]

As Koren jumps up, Will moves backward, almost falling over as he tries to duck Guppy's blade.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy, who is trailing blood from his foot, aims his sword at Koren's knee.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton sprints close, swinging at Koren only to be blocked.

Koren hisses slightly as Guppy's sword leaves a rather deep cut across his knee, before swinging said knee up between Guppy's legs.

[will_scarlett]

When Koren tries to knee Guppy, Will moves quickly to swing at Koren's neck.

[guppy_sandhu]

"AAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!"

As the armoured knee hits his genetalia, Guppy bends double, but somehow manages to unbend and thrust his sword up at Koren's chest, at an angle that even if he dodges should not hit Will or Atton.
