[Action: anywhere]

[It was interesting really... he always had the urge to go on a killing spree. While everyone else seemed to be begging others to run for safety, he remained eerily quiet as he went on and murdered whoever he laid his eyes upon. In fact, one might say he was actually enjoying it.

Perhaps it's time to put a stop to his fun.]

Anywhere, of course

[photonicfighter]

[Oh Holy Light, what a day it's been. Attacked by friends. Attacked by family. Attacked by random assholes she didn't even know. But it was almost done. Just one last trip to check on Quinn, and then back home, and she could finally rest. She plodded along, exhaustion very much evident in her posture.

If Barricade is coming anywhere near, his silence would help ensure that she doesn't notice him. Dakki is on the alert for noisy out-of-control terrified people. That's mostly what they were, after all. She had yet to encounter someone being quiet about all the killing.]

Always anywhere

[pnshandnslv]

[Unfortunately for Dakki, Barricade had spotted her. A low growl rumbled in his chest before he crouched down and quickly followed her. He approached quickly and silently making sure that his steps were soft. Eyes narrowed as the distance between the two of them closed.

A few more steps and he would be in perfect range for a quick claw swipe to her back. It was interesting to note, he didn't outright recognize her at first... Perhaps he would've had some interesting choice of words for her.

His arm was brought back, and shot forward in a flash of steel. Clearly, claws were still in tact...]

[photonicfighter]

[...footsteps? The moment after she realized that there were footsteps echoing behind her, there were greater things to worry about. Like claws swiping at her back, slashing at a spot that had already been injured earlier in the day. While her line shield flared to life and blunted some of the slash, it didn't halt all of it. Barricade's claws tore her blouse and the bandages that sat beneath, setting her bleeding again.

And sending her staggering and clutching at her side, mind going momentarily blank from the pain of it. But her other hand groped blindly, seeking the warped space where her saber was stored. Clumsily whirling about, she drew it and slashed it in an uncertain arc, hoping to drive the attacker back.]

A-aaaa...!

[pnshandnslv]

[As uncertain as that strike might've been, it was close enough to graze his claw. He stepped back and sneered and his eyes narrowed. ... This one seemed familiar...]

[photonicfighter]

[As soon as Dakki realizes who just attacked her, the words come tumbling out of her mouth.]

Oh Holy Light, it's you!

[Still waving her saber in a warding-like fashion, she backs away, visibly frightened. She's not sure if she can take him, in this condition. Even using weapons. Their photon reactors are starting to run low.]

[pnshandnslv]

[It was her voice that he recognized. He didn't even bother with a snarky reply... instead, he rushed right on in almost like a wild animal. It was clear that he had only the intent to kill, as the thought of his own death didn't seem to cross his mind. Rushing in so wrecklessly may cause him more harm, but his claws swiped through the air and at his target's shoulders.]

[photonicfighter]

[Dakki cried out in all-too-human surprise, and swung her blade to try and intercept that slash for her shoulders. The blade would slice flesh, but with the current level of its reactors, likely only bounce off and create sparks upon the metal of his claws. And as she swings, she continues to retreat backwards. There's not much thought going into any of this. It's all combat reflex, for good or for ill.]

[pnshandnslv]

[Sparks were made, and it was obvious that the blade did strike as he seemed to be somewhat jarred by the impact. Though he didn't stop for long and was soon right into combat, tearing his talons through the air with all intentions of striking across her chest.]

[photonicfighter]

[All of this backing away was rapidly getting Dakki nowhere. As her sword strike rebounds she moves with the motion and starts to turn and side-step, trying to get a different angle on Barricade.]

...gyaah!

[Oh, those claws didn't slice her chest dead-center. His claws raked across her upper chest and shoulder, tearing the dress and drawing blood. Her line shield gave a token weak flash, it too running low on power.]

Nnnh... get away!

[It's a choked cry, as she thrusts the point of the saber in his direction, hoping to skewer rather than slice.]
