7.3
The sickle came in hard and fast from
the side but I blocked it with the left hand. My right hand holding the dagger
when in for the slash on the throat but she retreated. I turned my body and
kicked out with the left leg but she had retreated further. I was not stopping
then and kicked out a front right kick. She tried to retreat but was blocked.
Her back was against the wall and she used her left hand to block the kick.
Without a second thought, I pulled back my leg and then used the knee to kick
low. I got her in the crotch but she had her sickle handle hit the kicking knee.
I fell back holding the knee. She was hurt but I was taking any chance then. I
rolled hard to escape. I then stood up and stood on my good leg. Darth Natria
was standing a distance away and her left hand was rubbing her crotch.
“You are good Enforcer but I had more
fights than you.” Darth Natria gloated on her defensive moves. “I should have
seen that coming but it was mostly for the bad boys.”
I
saw her other attribute which she was over confident. I moved my weight onto
the right foot and did the unexpected. I was taught by the masters that the way
to rush at anyone was to get the proper momentum when you shoot off with the
legs. With the momentum from the legs I rushed at her. My body slam move knocked her off balance and
we both went down in a heap. I rolled off her but not before I kicked out with
my left leg. It made contact on her face hard. She rolled over while I half
crouched on my feet. I have lost my dagger but she still had her sickle. I
looked for the dagger and found it nearby. I threw myself across the distance
and grabbed the dagger with my left hand. I turned around and saw her half
crouched glaring at me.
“It’s a good fight, Enforcer. I sensed
your strength but you are still raw.” Darth Natria spoke out. “Not many or
should I say even fewer have fought me had come this far. You are truly the
exceptional.”
I stood up and held the dagger at my
side. I was heaving in the deep breaths with my eyes on her. She was good, and
better than most I have fought. I shifted the dagger from the hammer to the ice
pick grip, my favourite style. The Darth had also stood up and held the sickle
in her right hand.
“Shall we dance one more?” Darth Natria
took on her fighting stance again. I however ignored her and took a new stance.
I spread my arms with the legs clammed shut. It was a new one I learned from a
dynamic dancer.
“Your confidence may be your downfall.”
Darth Natria rushed over with the arms spread behind her. She took two steps
and then jumped. She did a body somersault but I had rushed to the side. She
landed and swung out her arms. The sickle barely missed me but I had my dagger
stabbed down. I aimed at her right elbow and slashed at the sleeve. She had her
left arm lashed out and landed me a hard chop on the right shoulder. The pain
was intense but I had shut myself to pain after the knee hit. I fell backwards again but my hard training
paid off. My right leg went out at the other’s knee. I gave her the same pain
but both of us felt the sore pain. I held my arm over the sore shoulder and
stood there. She was hobbling on her good leg and held the sickle.
“We are even, Enforcer.” Darth Natria
called out. “It’s unfortunate. I am tired of the fight.”
The troopers came streaming in with
their rifles drawn. They covered the cavern and then I saw Kuzuka and Henna
were led in without their weapons. There were more troopers with them. I then
sensed the trap that was sprung on me.
“You were a fool, Edo Harashi.” Darth
Natria looked at me.
“Darth, we lost the other one.” The
trooper reported. I knew then Daniel was missing.
