Sabers. Not words. Quin had failed his lesson. He would be punished for this. A weapon was trained with, honed, sharpened at its edge, but in the end every weapon faced punishment. A lemon learned this. So did Nemesis.
Taking the moment of inaction to focus on every muscle in her body, every strand of tissue, every cell and molecule permitted, the Weapon braced herself. Already in position, blades at the ready, she waited for her opponent to stop speaking, then the purple-skinned Togruta took her leap.
Soresu. Makashi. Jar’Kai. One form before or after the other in this storm of swords. Form IV, Ataru, was the Way of the Hawk-Bat. And Nemesis had two blades for fangs to penetrate her prey with. To slay her opponent.
She didn’t run. She wasn’t that distant, having only staggered backward. Instead, she sprung upward in an instant, jumping and flying toward Quin to attack him from an overhead position. Her sabers whirred as Nemesis brought them downward.
Her left saber, in its reverse grip, swung to cut Quin in his left shoulder. Quin would probably respond by blocking her blade with his own. If he did, Nemesis would use her reverse grip to her advantage, pushing against the blade for leverage.
If he stepped to his right or left to evade the downward slash, Nemesis would twist her wrist in either direction to catch the other shoulder or his head. Failing that, he had another weapon to contend with as it is.
If uninterrupted, Nemesis would come out of her flip to land behind Quin. While still falling and reorienting, she attacked as she landed, facing her opponent’s back.
The Weapon swung her right saber overhanded, slashing diagonally downward from Quin’s right shoulder to his left hip.
