So you do!
Initiative is theirs, so this turn Wraith takes some fire his way. He does get a Reflection kill, at least, before digging into two more as they come in the doorway.
Ker'Raos is missed by any attackers, and blows down another two with that gun of his.

Initiative is theirs! The Royalists are peppering you with blasterfire at this point, being the closer and more threatening target. You take 12 damage as you struggle to deflect all the blasting coming your way.
It is not in vain- you get your Reflection tap and bring down three, before jumping in yourself and hacking down two with seven successes. You then tap Cleave for protection points.
Ker'Raos takes down the last one standing before more come in.

The troopers have blasted open a hatch above the computer bank at the front of the cockpit!
Initiative is yours! And it's a Refresh.
You hack down a trooper as he storms in. All too easy...
Ker chooses to target the troopers by the door, since he can get more kills that way. He taps Carnival of Carnage and bags all four.
Nobody shoots at Wraith, but Ker takes a tap for 3 damage.

Initiative is theirs!
Those by the door concentrate their firepower on you. They claim five of your Cleave points, but you take no damage in the exchange. In return, you destroy two of them with simple slashes.
Ker'Raos has dropped his kinetic rifle and leaps up for the open hatch, slashing down a trooper upon arrival. Apparently they weren't expecting that and missed both their shots, there.

Turns to Arrival: 6
Initiative is yours, both turns!
Your Orthodox Guard tap keeps you relatively safe, losing only one point of Cleave in the process. You then boost it back up by cutting down a pair of the troopers, bringing it back to 11 points of Cleave.
The soldiers can only fit ten into the doorway at a time, but that's still a tremendous amount for you to be taking fire from. You cut down your foe, but you lose eight points of Cleave almost immediately.
Still, no damage gained during all of this. Not bad...
Ker'Raos is still cutting apart the soldiers up there.

Turns to Arrival: 5
Initiative is yours!
Reynal gives one final volley to the tank, and it explodes brilliantly as his cannon hits something important, perhaps the fuel tank.
Pade decides to concentrate on Royal Guard B, putting a bolt into his chest. He taps Eagle Eye and rolls six successes, and that's it for Guard B after an Erapedi pounces on him.
The Erapedi continue to maul the Guards. One Guard actually does not get the kill, there.
And then, your maneuver! Basan turns the tables on you and spends a point on Evade, dropping you down to only 9 dice on your attack. You roll like crap and only deal out 9 damage.
He rolls better, tapping Power Attack into his blow and getting three successes on it. You take 7 damage, and are Knocked Down.
Your men are cleared out of the apartment.
