[h2][b]Eri 'Moram - Dxun[/b][/h2]

[hr]

It was fortunate for Eri that she had the experience of sparring with Jerus. She recognized immediately the invisible influence of the Force, though that would not simplify the problem of having to deal with its user. She had been under the impression that Jedi were rare, so she was not sure why there was one here, but he was obviously hostile, and a deadly threat. Although, Jerius was also correct that the Tarentatek needed to be dealt with. Swiftly. 

The beast and Eri stared one another down for a moment. Her attempt at finishing off the creature had been thwarted by the Jedi, but fortunately for her, she did not need to make another herself. This was a moment in which she could rely upon her team; all she needed to be able to do was step aside. 

Quickly, Eri dove out of the line of fire, giving her team a clear chance to open fire once more. Once again, needles, carbine fire, concussion blasts, and superheated plasma barraged the Tarentatek from the front. But, the greatest amount of firepower came from Jarraj. The Unggoy, though with a broken leg and bleeding his luminescent blood, did not allow himself to be overcome by pain or fear. Emboldened by his allies around him, he managed to crawl to his fuel rod gun and shoulder the weapon once more. 

“Die you big…dumb lizard!” Jarraj shouted as he fired five consecutive fuel rods. What he lacked in eloquence, he made up for in anti-tank ordinance. 

After removing herself from the line of fire, Eri sprinted to the aid of Jerius. From her sparring matches with Jerus, she knew to temper her aggression. This opponent would likely be able to act and react in ways no other Human opponent could. She had to apply her skill with a blade, not mere brutality. As she sprinted forward, she took a plasma grenade in her off hand, though for now, she simply held onto it tightly without activating it. 

Eri’s opening strike was precise, calculated, and drew from Vael’s teachings. As the Jedi’s blade clashed with Jerius, Eri approached him from behind. Rather than attack his center mass, she swung low, towards his legs, using her longer blade to attack from a range that he could not immediately retaliate. By swinging at a point so far from Jerius, she intended to constrain his possible responses into something predictable, and forced him to choose between defending against her [i]or[/I] Jerius since his lightsaber was simply not long enough to guard against both simultaneously.
