Green lasers shoot past me as I dodge the clumsy fire, slashing my sword out at the nearest Th’un. I’m not a fencer, but I’ve practiced a lot with the ‘Sword of Doom’ and all I have to do is score a hit and it will cut right through flesh and bone.
The first soldier falls over in a gurgle as blood sprays from his missing arm. My HUD tags ten soldiers coming up out of the hull. Each one marked with a threat level. I kick in the Emdrive for an assisted jump, wrap both hands around the pommel and bring the blade down on another one with a scream. My PA pumps up the volume of my roar to ear-shattering decibels.
“Amelia,” Luke’s voice whispers in my ear. “Epic has us on a holding pattern outside the storm. What’s going on?”
“A little busy—” I duck as a colossal fist flashes through the air where my head was a second before. I kick out, catching his knee with a satisfying crack. I never really did hand to hand in the old suit because the limited way in which it amped my strength… but this… I grin savagely as I punch out.
Of course, it would help if I had any martial arts training at all. Like… any. He grabs my arm and throws me over his shoulder. I yelp as he tosses me through the air. I hit the deck— hard. The shields absorb the majority of the impact. Rolling over I raise up my arm and drill a hole through his torso with my particle beam.
“Screw the storm, get us in there,” Luke says.
“It’s too powerful, we ran the numbers. Lux and I are keeping them busy while Kate and Epic locate the weather dominator.”
The Emdrive flings me back, then up and I land in a crouch. The remaining soldiers are far more cautious now. With a mental command a second sword forms in my off hand.
“Come get some,” I yell as I charge.
I plow through two of them, blades slicing through their armor like it didn’t exist. The diamond coated, one molecule thick edge doesn’t even pause as I cut through armor, skin, and bone.
Alarms scream at me to dodge, and I do. A green beam slashes through the air cutting one of their own in half. I chuckle, sending a particle beam back at the shooter.
The last of them fall back in a line, raising their weapons at me. I guess they had enough of the close quarter's stuff.
I mentally engage the Emdrive when a line of fire roars down from the sky so hot it melts the deck and vaporizes the Th’un standing on them. Lux flies in to hover over her handy work like a vengeful god.
“You really are something,” I tell her.
“I’ve waited so long to take the fight to them, Amelia. I’ve watched them rape my world and kill my people. This is the first time I’ve felt like I’m making a difference.”
I nod. “We’re not done yet.
