USH'S GAME EPISODE II- 'REVENGE'. Dark Side Area

Rex, it is all you can do to deflect these shots, let alone bounce them back. He does not answer you and when you probe his mind all you feel is contempt and hatred.

A moment later, he holds out his left arm towards you. Something slides out of the side of it, and then out of it shoots six high-speed spiked projectiles towards you.

"Holy..." Gald shouts as he dashes as fast as possible away from the darts and a little towards the attacker.

These aren't exactly darts, Rex. Think foot-long VERY sharp metal shards.

I'll need clarification on what you want to do; it's either away from the darts or towards Balek but both is impossible!

BTW, he;s still shooting at you with the pistol in his right hand.

(Okay, away from the metal shards to the right side)

You almost throw yourself into a crate trying to get out of the way. You almost get away with it as well, bu the far right spike neatly impales your left arm and comes within an ace of spinning you around and pinning you to the crates.

And he's still shooting...

Gald is pinned against the crate and is bleeding. "Ow! What the hell do you think you're doing!?" he shouts in anguish and anger. He uses the Force to pull the metal shard out of his arm, shouting in because he is using the same arm that was impaled. He uses the same arm because he is busy blocking lasers with his lightsaber in the other hand. He then hurls it back at Balek using the Force to make it fly faster and hit harder, blocking the shots at the same time. "Dude, stop shooting you retarded, one-armed creep! I'm gonna take that mechanical arm of yours and beat you with it when I get over there!!!" he shouts, his face visibly showing intense anger. Then starts running towards Balek, dodging the bolts and deflecting them with his saber.

(I actually said it DIDN'T pin you, but never mind)

Sadly, Rex, you can't force throw that thing at anything approaching dangerous speed and Balek simply leans slightly out of its way.

When you start to run towards him, Balek fires his harness upwards. With a CHUNK it hits something up top and Balek starts to VERY quickly rise into the airt on it.

As he starts to rise he plucks at a crate with his mechancial arm and with no effort yanks it out of the pile and directly towards you.

"Holy shit!" Gald shouts and dives out of the way. He then gets up and runs for cover from the maniac. He dives behind a pile of crates and hides under/behind them.

(Hey, are there any crates with weapons in them?)

Yup. Tricky to tell before you open them, though.

Ooh, looks like Balek is willing to find out by trial and error, though. He hitches himself to the side of a crate, half-way up to the ceiling, and starts shooting at the crates you are hiding under one by one.

First crate shot... no bang...

(meaning it's a crate full of weapons, right?)

No, it would blow up if it was full of weapons.

He just shot the second crate... that didn't blow up either...

*sorry for not being around for a bit, guys, I missed that little get together unfortunately. Anyway, fill me in, where are we?*

Shame about that, but never mind.

Here's the deal, queeq. With Jedi crowdig all around, you and Chion withdrew gracefully (well, as gracefully as possible for Chion).

Lukcily, the Jedi have still failed to find Faylar as well. Kuylen, duelling Argentis on one of the walkways that connects the cranes in the cieling, can see Faylar and is guiding you to his location via comms. You will have to hit damn fast before the Jedi descend upon you.

Finally you have found him, skirting the walls at the edge of the area trying to make his way to the stairs up. Protecting him are some fifteen members of his bodyguard, an equal number of droids and, the real tricky bit, two droidekas.

(What are in the crates then?)

Gald watches as Balek starts shooting the crates. "I wonder what's in those damn things..." Gald says to himself, and begins to cut a hole in one of the crates around him.

(Stuff)

Can't say I didn't warn you, Rex. Balek shoots a third crate and it blows up.

You are blown, abttered and bloodied, a fair way down the corridor.

Balek slips back down to the ground and starts to shoot at your prostrate form.

(Oh, that was a warning? Excuse my ignorance. 🙄 )

Gald is blown into the corridor. He gets up as quick as possible, but falls over again from the pain. He grabs the edge of a crate and pulls himself to his feet. He calls his lightsaber to his hand and ignites it again.

(Well I said Balek was shooting at the crates you were hiding under and that if he shot a crate that had weapons it would explode!)

This is a BAAAD situation, REx... Balek stands there still shooting. He is VERY patient and he isn't doing anything silly like walking towards you; your limbs are injured and tired as you struggle to block shot after shot...

"Geez, will you stop with the damned blaster!" Gald shouts. He quickly slashes his way into a crate, and then another, checking for weapons.

You can't slash your way into a crate. If you stop defending against Balek he will shoot you.

Gald starts blocking and walking backwards quickly, trying to retreat from the maniac.
