Straight after firing the first round I was already taking another grenade from my bandolier and reloading the underbarrel launcher. The big lumbering behemoth didn't seem like he was about to slow down anytime soon. Blaster bolts didn't do a whole lot apparently. The thing was big. Big and smart. Bad, bad combo. Oh, and he was running right at me. The image of my stylishly blowing him to bits with a single grenade wasn't exactly working out the way it had gone in my head.
The 40mm slid into the launcher and I started to raise my carbine. Wait was he throwing his-
"Oh stang," was all I could mutter as a gigantic sword whirled toward me, end over end.
I tried to move, but the big hunk of metal slammed into me. The ring of metal on metal screeched through the air and I got taken off my feet with a massive WHUMP. The blade didn't punch through my phrik armor, but I felt as though something had broken in my upper torso. From where it hit I was guessing the second or third rib on my right side was fractured. Maybe both. Substantial bruising too. I dunno how I managed to process all that info, years of training I guess, 'cause all I could see were flashing stars and my body throbbed with blinding pain.
The wind was knocked out of my lungs and it took a couple of breaths to get it back in, but by that time he was almost on me. The Mand'alor opened up right about then with his blaster canon, plugging away. From where I lay on the ground I figured I had as good a shot as any. I lifted my carbine and fired the 40mm frag right at the fugly. I'd probably be caught in the blast radius. My armor was rated to withstand those kind of forces, but I doubted I'd be let off without catching a few bits of shrapnel and maybe some blast damage. The other guy would look worse, which - considering- would be a pretty big feat.
At least, I hoped.
