[Holo-ship, corridor]
The threat that Rylan issued seemed to have no effect whatsoever. The three
little figures only stared at him totaly unimpressed. Two in front, blocking
his way down the hallway; one still standing in back, in the same place that
it had before - never moving. Growing frustraited with the whole thing at
this point, Rylan puts the rifle against one of the creatures head. "I said
move. Or ninte brains will be splattered on the corridor walls." he issued
another threat, poking the creature with the rifle none-to-gently, trying to
get it to back up.
In a swift, black blur, the threatened figure hit Rylan in the stomach with a
puch that sank the Rihan to his knees, sputtering and coughing up blood.
Looking up at the vaugely black figure, Ry grabs the rifle that he dropped,
and regains his feet again. As he stood, Ry swings the rifle like a bat,
clubing the creature that struck him upside the head, then brought the weapon
to bear on the other creature, and squeezed the trigger.
The alien miraculously dodged the bolt of disruptor fire. Confused, Rylan's
eyes scanned the hall, trying to locate where the figure had disappeared to,
as the one he had clubed earlier stands, then kicks him several times in the
back, only to move again and stand a few feet away from the Romulan before
Rylan had completely hit the floor.
Sinking to his knees again, his back feeling like someone had driven a
white-hot iron stake through it, he winces and mutters, "Fvadt!" Keeping his
eye on the creature who had attacked him, Rylan pulls himself back up,
leaning against the wall for support, and aims the rifle to fire again.
In a black-blur streak, the figure dodged that blast as well, then nails
Rylan in the face pushing the boy back. Almost with a simultainious hit, the
other figure that had seemed to disappear earlier nailed him with a well
placed elbow in the center of his spine, sending Rylan once more to the floor
of the corridor.
Again, Rylan slowly pulls himself up to a standing position, then walks
forward a few stumbling steps. Out of the corner of his eye, he spots one of
the creatures, and suddenly spin-kicks, nailing the thing in the head, then
stands ready, spitting a wad of blood on the floor, and watched the other
that still currently stood on it's feet, knowing that it was going to strike
again.
The other figure that had been watching all this almost passively from
further down in the hall, moved so quickly that Rylan never saw it. But Ry
gets kicked in the back of his lower leg. A loud, painful bone-splitting
*SNAP!* is heard just before the blinding-flash of pain made it's presence
known. Refusing to cry out from that, Rylan bites down on his lip and hits
the floor hard. Reaching down, Ry pulls the kalen from his belt, drawing it
slowly; "Au ri'nanov imirrh*...." then interrupts himself, suddenly throwing
the kalen and sinking it upto the hilt in the middle of his attacker's head.
<<*look it up ;)>>
The figure makes no noise whatsoever. It just slowly sinks to the floor with
the blade of the kalen lodged in it's brain. Rylan tries to pull himself the
few inches across the floor to retrieve the dagger once more, when another
hard kick to the small of his back stops him, making him cry out this time.
Looking up again to locate the positions of the other creatures, Rylan
notices the arrival of a purplish-black mist that seeps into the corridors
from the vents. His eyes widening at this new and disturbing-looking stuff,
Ry notices that whatever the mist was, it's arrival had confused the figures
as well as himself. Apparently, they had not expected this sudden intrusion.
As the mist traveled along the floor, it gathered itself into a long tedril,
eventually forming in to a vague shape. With a swing, part of the mist
solidified completely, shaping itself into a long, deadly looking Sythe that
sliced one of the creatures in two even pieces, right down it's middle. The
two halves of the figure fell to the floor. No blood splattered, no innards
exposed. It was if the black figure was nothing more then shadow.
Turning his eyes back to the swirling mist again, Rylan's jaw hung open in
surprise to see the infamous Khensia program standing almost protectively in
front of him Weilding the Sythe in front of her, she stared at the remaining
black figure and challenging it silently.
"What the Arein----What are *au* doing in *this* program?" Confused, Ry
shakes his head to clear it, then spits out another wad of blood to the floor
as he pushes himself up painfully into a sitting position. "Never mind...just
kill whatever that is..." he waves towards the remaining black figure, "then
get me to the medlab."
"I'm saveing au!" she answers his question with an indignate little pout at
being so easily dismissed. Then, faster then Rylan's eyes could track the
movement, she runs over towards the black figure and rams the end of the
staff of the Sythe into the head of the being. The smaller creature falls to
it's knees, and she hits it again, this time in it's midsection, driving the
figure down to the floor. As the black figure tried to push itself up, the
Khensia swings the Sythe in a arch, and decapitates the shadow-creature.
To Rylan, she had only just finished her statement. Almost sheepishly he
answers, wondering absently why it was always some girl who came to save him,
"Ah...well, I kinda figured that. Now...." he pauses with a raised brow to
see the head of the last shadow-being rolling past him and continuing on down
the corridor, "Uh...." he looks back at the Khensia, "I need to get to
medlab somehow. Ninte creator is hurt and needs help as well."
"Ie, well au wont be going anywhere." she answers him, walking towards the
one shadow-being that he had managed to drop, and pulls the kalen free from
it's bloodless head. "I'll go to medlab, au wait here." she finished,
tossing the kalen towards him.
"Here...in the hall?" Ry frowns and catches the kalen easily enough.
"Ie...well. bring back a rhennish if au find io." he winces as he reseathes
the kalen again, "I definately need io of those..."
The Khensia leans on her Sythe, shaking her head with a small smile, "Na...I
was reprogramed to na let au have that."
"Ah for Elements' sake!" he rolls his eyes and motions to his leg, "I'm in
pain over here...PAIN!!! Get me a fvadt rhennish, or get something else! I
don't really care at this point...but DT is three decks up with five holes in
his leg... *FIVE HOLES*! I *bet* he could use io too!"
She only shakes her head again, a faint amused expression on her features.
"I'll be back...." she begins just as the room starts to flicker again.
"Oh, just great....here comes the fvadt flicker...." Rylan grumbles as their
surrounding begin to change.
