Vector to Infinity

"You will not find me an easy kill, Demoness!"

 

The Dark One hurled herself through the trees, launching and changing course as easily as a great cat

 

Bounding off a tree, she tore at my face, but only caught an armoured forearm

 

She screamed in agony, staring unbelievably at the scarring on her other hand

 

"My Force-enhanced armour seems to not care for you.....at all!"

 

I had taken great pains to make my armour, embellishing all things good and right upon it, building it within stringent Jedi principles

 

It's retaliation to the Dark Ones' touch seemed alive

 

The darkling backed away, looking curiously at me as I slowly closed on her

 

In her anguish and curiousity, she allowed herself to be backed up to a large tree between two huge root-stems

 

"If you think my armour hurt....."

*SLASH!!!*

 

"DAMN!!!!" She was gone again

 

Without turning, I stabbed rearward, and a howl tore at my ears

 

Her still smoldering claws sank into my neck, trying to rend my carotid

 

I could feel her power waining, and I wrapped my other hand around her wrist, yanking her off of me

 

Not looking back, I disemboweled her, and dropped the limp wrist

 

"Wrong path....Witch."

 

*Taking a break to load up AirplanePDQ, and have a peek!*

 

The poison within me was potent

 

I ambled drunkedly to the clearing, and commed to R6


"Help."

 

R6 brought the X in, and using his rockets, flew over to me where I had fallen

 

Being an astro-droid, his med-tech was very limited, but he managed to hook me up to a med-kit

 

I awoke the next morning violently throwing up dryly

 

The med unit was churning away, clearing the toxins from my body

 

By itself, it would have only prolonged my death

 

But, with the assistance of the Force, I was able to self-heal....although it took the rest of that day and well into the next
