The subterranean forces breached the soil at their destination and hungry growls, both mechanical and organic, filled the air around the towers.The Rumblers let down their ramps and from them poured scores of legionnaires bent on being the hands and feet of the Empire. Sithspawn crawled and galloped on their own rampages, and all together it was lovely.
As the forces of the Empire coalesced above those below remained in the heat of battle. The eight legionnaires about Cara remained strong, though their reserves of ammunitions had taken a toll. Muen still engaged in battle with a gallant approach as he fired at the enemy using the sling on his left arm to cradle the blaster and barked at the others not to coddle him. If they made it through this, Cara had already drew blueprints in her mind for the future. Did this mean she was distracted? Not at all. She was simply in a good mood.
While themselves pushed ever further into the belly of Kh'aris the blips of subterranean units on Cara's map had made it to the surface, and news of their success over comms prompted Cara to communicate with the Kushiban and the general, "Attention, we've got access topside. Units deployed." The dry tone, as usual, failed to betray her excitement, even while she flung a Kintan soldier into the blast of a droid's cannon. Cara sent a broadcast to those around her, minding them to be aware of detonations from above. While they worked their way back to the tunnels Cara would move between the ranks where needed, until otherwise specified, and right now she and the legionnaires left from defunct Rumblers were hitting hard.
The blasts from the cannon in her hand had been splendid, but after extensive use as a both battering ram and crowd breaker it was spent. Cara whipped the chunk of metal around, launching it into the only droid she saw remaining in her quarter of space. The projectile smacked into its chassis and she followed up by running, sliding between its legs, and punching out a knee as she got behind. Electricity sparked as the droid had fallen back, two fists exploding from its midsection then pulling away. The bar on her HUD blinked in a frantic warning. The energy from the shield needed to vent, but how could she best utilize the thirty second pause? The SJO that surrounded her would do. She threw a burst of the Force around her, throwing back the soldiers. Seizing one by the collar of his armored vest and the other by her helmet, she held them up as soon-to-be-examples.
"Activate release protocol."
The vents on the back of the Bonzami ll began to glow red. One of the soldiers in her grasp, the man, had no helmet. Unfortunate for him, as the vents soon glowed yellow, and the skin on his face began to steam. The pain gave him a wakening jolt and his scream hung in his throat. The female was clawing at the hand wrapped around her visor, but whatever comprised the transparent material was fracturing under the mechanical grip. The other SJO got to their feet and raised weapons. The vents were white, and while Cara felt only a measure of the heat the male in her grasp had succumbed to the burns that spread over his exposed head. In her other hand she crushed the visor, allowing the intensity of the burned energy to flood inside. Though at first high the shriek died down quickly, and the hands wrapped around her arm fell limp. With an enraged yell a soldier braved the radius of heat, opening fire at the engineer. Cara moved the female's body to soak the metal slugs, sidestepping then to Force throw the corpse at him. The bar above her HUD showed all blue. Molecular shield was back online.
Time to finish this mess.
