Bad Blood
It happened fast. Thursday, the dragon, leaps up with ferocious speed landing firmly on top of Igor, clawing and biting at the surprised warrior. Using his cybernetic limbs to shield himself from the worst of it Igor manages to fend off the flurry.
As soon as Thursday twitches, Steelbrok turns his sights on the others, sending bursts of railgun fire into Sergei, Vladimir, and the Bear. The three of them take the blows like stout Russian men. Vladimir actually laughs as the rounds bounce off of his heavy cyborg armor. If the other two are hurt, they don’t look much worse for wear.
Using the chaos to his advantage Palach grabs his particle beam rifle from the truck and gives Pavel two fully accelerated particle blasts in the chest. The cyber-warrior staggers back, two smoking holes in his armor. He’s tough, but definitely hurt (1 wound).
With the Bear right in front of him Damien tries to end the fight by ending the leader. With two massive strikes he sends the Bear reeling backward (2 wounds).
Facing down a dragon, Igor tries his best to fight his way out of the situation but doesn’t manage to crack Thursday’s dragon hide with his cybernetic punches.
Suddenly, everything changes as Par orders the Russian warriors to turn on themselves. Bred for obedience and subservience they all listen and turn on each other with something akin to glee. As each begins to square off against the other, Makenna takes a closing potshot at Vladimir, but the blow deflects harmlessly off his armor.
Sergei turns his attention on the bear slashing at him with his vibro-blades. Meanwhile Angelo dives for cover and shoots at the Bear, who is already badly wounded and trying to fend off one of his comrades. The blast does little against his armor but momentarily distracts him as he turns to see what hit him giving Sergei room to slip in the knife and send the bear falling to the frozen ground, his blood crimson against the white snow.
Vladimir draws his massive sword and bounds toward Sergei, loping off the man’s head in a single rampaging blow. Pinned by a dragon Igor doesn’t stand a chance as Bryan takes the shot and staggers the man to the ground. Seeing Igor down, Pavel acts quickly finishing off his vulnerable partner.
Suddenly, all goes quiet as a deadly dance begins. The three remaining Russians circling each other cautiously, each waiting for an opening to strike.
