The motavian regained his composure after feeling his bones rattle as result of the minor earthquake. Hurricanes, he would stand. Tornadoes, they were of no concern. But Earthquakes... earthquakes left a person with no control over their placement. There was nothing more frightening to Ryn than not being able to control his footing.
Ryn dislodged his axe from the carcus of the fallen monsterfly, his firey red optics dead centered on the partys newest concern.
Sandworms were nothing new. Tonoe and Molcom had guards trained specificly for extermenaiting the large pests. Plod, a Tonoe guard, had once shown Ryn where to strike a sandworm to quickly fell it. But Ryn had long since forgotten Plods instructions.
Thats when Ryn caught sight of Trey digging beneath a freshly fallen structure, followed by Rose. God only knew what it was they were searching for, but was it really more important than getting digested by a sandworm?
"Damnit you two!" Ryn cried out as he unbuckled his weapon belt.
The heavy chain belt fell to the sand with a thud. Weighing at least twelve kilograms, the belt normaly reduced his speed in battle. In this scenerio, no weapon but his Axe was powerful enough to cause any serious harm to the new foe. Hunting knives would only agitate the beast, and the collapsable longbow would do no damage to the sandowrms thick hide.
Following the belt, was Ryns mantle. The silver trimmed mantle was nice for resisting techniques, but other than that, it acted as a sail does on a sea faring vessel.
Ryn now stood twenty meters from the beast, wearing only his Cyber-Suit and titanium platelegs. Though the sleeveless Cyber-suit didn't offer much protection, it always seemed to energize him in the heat of battle. The platelegs on the other hand, offered generous protection, but were a whopping thirteen kilograms.
As he unequipped the excess armament, he witnessed Sane cast a pale blue light at the Sandworm. The beast in turn flailed, clearly hurt.
Now it's my turn. , Ryn whispered to himself. He curled back his beek, baring twin rows of pearly white canines as he sped at his target, gripping his axe in both hands, hoisting it over his left shoulder in preparation to strike.
