Ana tried to be cool; she really, really did. She was patient with the yokels of this world, and even opted out of causing any major harm to anyone, even in their initial confrontation. Now there was a mob of pissed-off farmers with tools insulting her and ignoring their – in her opinion, very intelligent – suggestion to just move out of the way to let them pass. Even Talak, whose first instinct in their interactions both times today was to choke someone out, tried to get them to just… move to the side. And he failed.
So now they were going to make this bloody.
As soon as the first man charged her with an axe, Ana summoned her lightsaber to her hand and ignited it in one smooth motion, suffusing the area around them in a pale red glow. The farmer, too committed to his attack, only barely registered the speed with which she moved when she slashed upwards and took his arm clean off at the elbow. The sizzling limb hit the ground with a dull thud and the farmer dropped to the ground in shock, screaming at the sudden loss of an appendage. She followed through with a horizontal slash that bisected the man just above the nipple and his flesh and bones sloughed off in two meaty chunks.
Her moving forward suddenly had caught the rake-man off guard, so his attack was a fair bit short. However, the width of the rake allowed a single prong to dig into her skin and leave a fairly nasty gash along her shoulder blade. Ana flinched hard, grimaced, and spun around, instinctively throwing her free hand forward and sending a wave of blue sparks towards her aggressor. The lightning caught him square in the chest and sent excruciating, unimaginable pain through the rest of his body as she ruptured blood vessels and burnt through tissue. He screamed, dropped his rake, and fell to the ground in anguish as she shocked him until he started seizing up.
The sudden display of her power, combined with their two lightsabers, caused the others to hesitate for a moment. Within seconds, two of their own had just been bisected and fried, and the only thing to show for their efforts was some blood that stained the back of Ana’s shirt. Still, mob mentality was hard to combat, and they had quite a few numbers on their side. This hesitation was cut short as three men shouted and charged at Talak, each one waving some kind of hammer, axe, or rake. Two came at him head on, while the third approached slightly to his right, all three screaming like maniacs.
Two more villagers charged at Ana simultaneously, but she reached out and gripped one with the Force and threw him into his comrade, sending them both tumbling to the side with a confused yelp. By now, it had become a full-on brawl, and anyone who was in the open before violence broke out was now cowering in their homes. It was only a matter of time before the guards heard the ruckus and came down to investigate.
