The battle wouldn't last much longer. These troopers and their armor was good at stopping the majority of their forces weaponry, and the Vong soldiers, while mostly attracted to Tallara, The Vulptex and himself, would still tear through anything in their path. Like trees.
More soldiers, six in total, came up to address Dominik's rather violent treatment of their friends, firing their particle beam rifles at him with deadly intent. The first shot hit his helmet, and the beskar there is the only thing that kept his head together. His brain rattled against the tree he was next to and he went to one knee, dodging another blast that filled the air with burning mulch. He leveled the rifle at them and fired. The ones in front were smarter than those who came previously and jumped out of the way. The two behind them weren't so fast and got a whole torn through their chests in the time it takes to blink. Four were left, and Dominik didn't care about playing around. They needed to deal with this patrol and move on to the base, no doubt they knew that their enemy was here already. They'd be evacuating personnel and erasing drives at this point.
He pulled drew out the heavy-looking pistol from his left hip and stepped forward. One trooper scrambled to his feet and fired, hitting Dominik in the shoulder to spin him. Towards that trooper. He grunted with pain and raised the blaster and squeezed. He was really getting tired of these guys! A short quick orange beam hit the trooper, and in the span of a screaming, panicked, and agonizing second the man was disintegrated.
The three remaining troopers were already moving to shoot him, and Dominik swiveled his aim to the next one, the Disruptor pistol readying for another shot.
Then the trees exploded. A White Vong experimental monster came roaring through, directly at him. He turned to shoot
it instead, but it slammed into him, the thing just too fast, and threw him a dozen feet and crashing into the trunk of another tree. He hit the ground with a flat thud and an exhale of pain as those monstrous feet stomped their way towards him. He got up to his knees before the things leg kicked him up into the tree again, knocking the wind out of him and possibly breaking something. It held him against the tree with that leg, pinning sideways and crushing him with it's strength. Dominik had dropped the Magrifle when he was kicked, and that massive mantis claw hooked under his helmet. The thing got ripped off and it raised it's other claw to strike down at his exposed head.
There was the sound of rasping steel and the
smack! of a blade cutting through hard flesh. The Vong, clawless on it's right arm, still battered him with the stump of where it's wrist would have been, uncaring for the injury. Dominik had drawn Ebony from behind his back, and now jabbed it into the beast's exposed kneecap between the plating. He twisted and pulled, severing the thing from it's own leg. It's second claw came across to take him square on the crown, but only cut a messy wound into the tree as the agent dropped, the leg no longer holding him. He hit the ground and rolled, narrowly dodging the next blow by the angry Vong creature. He got to his knee and aimed his Disruptor pistol at it. Only to get fired on by those karking troopers once more. It blew him back and he got behind tree cover, thinking.
"There's a Sith here -- kill it fast, or our problems get worse," she said over the comm.
Well, one more thing to think about. And he was pretty sure he was the only one that could really take one out, but he couldn't do that if he had this Vong and these troopers on him!
"Vul!" He spoke over comms.
"Get these guys off me, deal with them while I go after the Sith!"
