*J'kar whips out his large battlescythe and charges at the nearest Praetorian. The creature hisses and leaps at him, and he narrowly steps aside as the beast slams its tail tip into the ground beside him. He swings his scythe in an arc aiming at its neck, but it dodges and he only severs a piece from its head crest. The alien aims a slash at his chest, but he turns and deflects the blow with his right shoulderplate, the alien's sharp claws leaving a jagged rip across the armor. He recovers and punches the alien in the throat, and it gags and staggers back. he takes the opportunity to lean back on his tail and double-kick the Praetorian in the chest, sending it further back. The creature recovers and lunges again, this time at his throat. J'kar drops into a spinning-trip stance and dodges its claws while knocking its legs from beneath it. He slides back into a standing stance and slams his foot across its chest, pinning it to the ground. The alien slashes at his ankle, but he grits his teeth and keeps the pressure. He hefts his scythe with both hands, and with all his strength decapitates the struggling Praetorian.
He leaps back to avoid the acid blood that gushes from its severed neck, and he wipes the blade of his scythe off quickly with an acid-resistant cloth. The metal was already pocked, but the durable blade was still usable.
Panting, he looks at the others fighting their battles, and plunges again into the fray.* |
