	Well, it's a rather short chapter, but better than nothing, I guess: Chapter Eight "Ronan, this is Thor," Katin's voice came out of Ronan's helmet commlink. "The Pursuers are armed and ready to escort the Claw back to the planet. ETA thirteen minutes." "Copy that, Katin," Ronan answered. "And good luck. Ronan out." It's just about time that our reinforcements arrive, he thought, looking over the battlefield, the still approaching Yuuzhan Vong and his warriors doing their best to hold them back. Ronan walked out of the command tent and went to the nearest trench, aiming his left arm at the approaching hostiles, waiting for them to get close enough to unleash the devastating fire burst of his wrist-mounted flamethrower. Ronan's carbine was already out of ammo, and he had to use his armor enhancements and hidden weapons now, like the flamethrower and rocket darts that were most effective against Yuuzhan Vong heads, blowing them actually off a Vong's shoulders. The battle was getting more and more desperate for the Mandalorians, who were totally outnumbered, and now outgunned, as well. The Yuuzhan Vong didn't care very much about casualties, and were stepping over their fallen comrades like an endless stream of scarred warriors. Ronan avoided some razor bugs that had been thrown at him and then activated the flamethrower. The hostiles rapidly fell prey to the unstoppable wall of fire, not being able to do anything against it. From all sides, Mandalorians were firing rocket darts and blaster bursts - as far as they still had ammo, what most hadn't anymore -, launching concussion missiles and flamethrowers and hurling thermal grenades at the attackers, some even fighting with vibroswords and other melee weapons in close combat with the Yuuzhan Vong, taking scalps from beaten enemies. But overall, all their efforts were useless - sooner or later, the Mandalorians would be completely out of ammo and had to fight the Vong with melee weapons and their bare hands. Even then, and Ronan was sure about that, they would still be able to hold of the Yuuzhan Vong for a while, but ultimately, the sheer number of enemies would beat the Mandalorians. So, Ronan thought, while firing his last rocket darts at some close attackers, all of the shots hitting the mark, something has to change now... But he didn't know what to do, and the only thing was to wait for a better time. Now, he had to fight, and maybe die honorable, taking as many of the Vong with him as possible. Ronan fired the last rocket dart at a badly scarred Yuuzhan Vong that was just striking out with his amphistaff, attempting to use it as a spear and throwing it into Ronan's throat. But Ronan was too fast for the Yuuzhan Vong warrior, and the rocket dart hit the scarred warrior's head, forcing it to explode and leaving the Yuuzhan Vong headless. The sweep was still strong enough for the living spear to glide out of the dead warrior's hands and drill itself into the ground, followed by the headless corpse that hit the ground only seconds later. Ronan turned away and checked his weapons. The Heads-Up-Display (HUD) of his helmet showed him that only one thermal grenade was remaining and the fuel tank was very close to empty. His sidearms, his carbine and all other weapons were totally out of ammo, and he didn't want to waste the last bit of fuel for the flamethrower. He still had his jetpack and the concussion missile mounted on it and wanted to save that, as well as the grenade, for later. So, he had to admit that the martial arts lesson from his father would've helped him in the following combat, more than he wanted to image. His father had been an excellent fighter, and Ronan wasn't bad at melee and close combat at all, but he could've been a lot better. His father had always told him that his lessons would one day save Ronan's life, rather than any of his skills in ranged combat, or more precisely, his talent with sniper rifles. Ronan had only gone through the basic course in Kharritokh's martial arts trainings, and he really hoped that this would be enough to stand the Yuuzhan Vong in the following battle. Hell! Why am I so afraid of this simple battle?! Ronan thought. I better stop worrying about this nonsense and start fighting! So he jumped out of the trench and ran over to the next Yuuzhan Vong, his carbine readied and the bayonet's vibro-emitter activated. The hostile never saw it coming, and Ronan landed a clean strike into the invader's belly. Pulling his rifle out of the corpse, he watched the dying body falling over, hitting the ground with a dull noise. He didn't care about the slowly dying by bleeding Yuuzhan Vong any longer and went on. The next Yuuzhan Vong had already seen him and was holding his amphistaff ready to parry Ronan's strike, but latter never wanted to attack the enemy this way. Instead, he fired the fibercord whip from his right gauntlet and made the grappling device wrap around his opponent's lower legs. Ronan did all of this while running, and he didn't stop after the Yuuzhan Vong's feet had been grappled, but continued running and thus throwing the warrior off his feet. The Vong landed hard on his back, and Ronan could clearly hear the Yuuzhan Vong's neck breaking. After rejecting the whipcord, he went on to the next hostile. This time, Ronan didn't have the element of surprise anymore, and this time, it was not him who attacked. The Yuuzhan Vong drew his coufee, a dagger-like weapon the Vong used as a secondary weapon to the amphistaff, and threw it at Ronan, who could just avoid a critical hit at his shoulder, but still the dagger streaked an unarmored part of his shoulder and caused a rather big flesh wound. Slowed down by the unexpected attack, Ronan could hardly parry his opponent's next strike with the amphistaff. He kept the Yuuzhan Vong at distance and extended his vibroblades in his forearm wrist gauntlets, preparing himself for the next attack. But for some reason, his opponent didn't attack and only waited in defense pose. Though knowing that he was in disadvantage when attacking now, Ronan deked a kick with his foot, which would throw his opponent off-balance, but then rammed his left vibroblade right into the Vong's face, hitting him badly. As expected, his opponent let the amphistaff go and quickly lifted both hands up to the deep wound in his face. Ronan used the chance and rammed his carbine's bayonet into the enemy's armpit. He pulled it out of the falling corpse and allowed himself a short rest. He looked at the timer in an edge of his HUD he had set for reinforcement's arrival: 00:06:23 "Mand'alor, this is Barec," he said to Fett over comm. "It's still six minutes before reinforcements arrive, and I don't think we can hold our position any longer." "Don't worry, Barec," Fett said calmly. A loud burst from the sky interrupted him, and Ronan looked up. Three small ships were coming from the sky, blasting the frontlines with bursts of heavy laser fire. "Here go your reinforcements," an unfamiliar voice said. "This is Kir Kanos, and I guess you could need some help down there, eh?" To be continued... -----signature----- The other side of the NJO, featuring Mandalorians, Vong, and Peace Brigaders in a thrillride full of betrayal and intrigue...

	Nice, Corran. You conveyed Ronan's depseration there effectively. Liked how he ignored it and went back to fighting. He has a true Mandalorian spirit. And Kir Kanos has arrived.

	Corran_Fett posted: Yellow? You mean golden, don't you? Only a bit of the background is yellow, his armor is rather golden... Anyway, I improved the background a bit: I was talking about the backround. Nice job of updating it, i like the golden trim of the armor. Nice post. I enjoyed the vivid descriptions of melee combat, it helped get the dirt and blood feel that normaly comes with Vong fighting. I also enjoyed Ronan's mini internal struggle with his thoughts. Heh, i bet after this he will take advanced martial arts lessons. and of course, Kir Kanos was cool.

	I'll echo the sentiment of everyone here... Kir Kanos & Boba Fett I wonder what Kir's been up to the past few years. (Another great read, Corran )

	Corran, you do realize you can have 4 lines of a sig, right? One line can also be very long. So you could move the line where it says what the fic was about to the same line as the fic itself, like i did. You could then maybe put in Kal's line about the knife. Try it, it may work. -----signature----- Adopted by starwarsbeauty Mandalore and Semi Ex-Sentinel of the Acolytes of Revan I'm not suffering from insanity, I'M ENJOYING IT!!!

	Nice story. I'm a fan of that story so far. And I'm afraid, thanks to your story and Quiet Mandaloran's stories, I'm turning into a Mandalorian fan... Anyway, there were something you didn't understand. About someone else thinking that Kir Kanos being a "Canadian", that was because he said, "eh", and in Canada, lot of Canadians love to use this word. Hopes that clear some things for you.
