Things on the ground were brutal. Vanya had dropped everything to go to Coruscant's aid at the reports of abominations pouring out of... well, everywhere. At Byblos there was an identifiable source, but so far reports had just sprung up across the planet about the appearance of abominations seemingly out of nowhere.
Finding the source would have been great, hunting down the person responsible even more so, but at this point it was a scramble just to hold off the hyper-aggressive monsters and keep the civilians out of harm's way.
Vanya got her first sight of one of them only now. A tall, gangly creature with long, sharp talons tore its way through soldiers and security forces like they were tissue paper. Based on what Vanya had heard, there weren't actually many of these things, but the ones that existed were simply devastating and potent.
Her gut churned as she looked out at the devastation that had been left in this creature's wake so far and the blaster fire that rained down on it and that it seemed to shrug off almost as if it were nothing.
She reached down and grabbed the lightsaber from off her belt, holding it firmly in her hand and taking a deep breath to steady herself before letting it burst to life in her hand. She was no stranger to combat or even to deadly creatures, but this was something else entirely. It reeked of Dark sorcery and techniques that Vanya didn't even want to guess at.
To wait, though, was to allow it to slay more people. She had joined the Jedi to fight evil and there was no more obvious example than this.
