Brawler Archive

... I crept slowly over the hill. Down in the small gully below was a pile of leaves. All my rodian sences told me this was the place, and soon I saw the animals emerging from the nest. I double checked my datapad, yeah this was the right coordinates. One of the beasts looked bigger than the others and I was planning on taking him on first. I moved purpossfully towards the beast, a grubber acording to my mission desciption in my datapad.

It was ugly, with moist skin that looked two numers to large for its bloated body. But I had confidence in my martial arts abilliteis.

I lunged forward with a loud warcry, the grubber didn't looked scared at all though, but I hardly noticed. I was going to use a new special attack that I had learned and traind on back in my house on the sandbag, it was a powerful series of attacks designed to stun the target. But I missed! OMG **edit**? The grubber however attacked and started to bite deep into my leg. I used another special, but the grubber, now seeming more agile evaded it. My leg was starting to hurt real bad now, but I continued attacking with the moves my traineer had tought me. Finally, afterdussins of tries,I scored a hit! But the grubber didn't seemed dead at all?! **edit**? I hit him again, nothing seemed to happen. My leg was bleeding badly now. I was glad I had taken that first aid course back at Coronet before I went out and I used a small stimpack that they gave me.

The epic battle continued, I had almost used all my special attacks, and was running low on time. I didn't whant to die here! And I remembered one thing my tranier, named Dev,said to me just before we parted.

- If all else fails my son, use your anger.

-But doesn't that lead to the dark side, I asked.

- Never fear my son, you'll never be a Jedi anyway Dev said and laughed.

So I gathered all my anger and relesed it on the grubber, but again the force was not with me. I was calm... **edit**? I tried again. Ahhh... I felt the anger fow trough me and used all its power to finially kill the grubbur.

But I was nearly done for. I had to sit down and rest, I also used the alst stimpack I had. How was I going to kill the rest of the lair. I absently fiddled in my backpack and found a blaster. Guess I could use this I though. Didn't look much for the world, said something with CDEF on the side, and my trainer always said that fist was better than guns.

I got up and found aswitch on the side of the gun. It said normal/overcharge on it and I set it to overcharge. I fired a single shot atthegrubber. OMG! It fell down stone dead with a large smoldering hole straight through its swollen body. The smell of burt meat filled the air. I looked at my gun with newfound respect and knew that from this day forward I was gonna be a ranged fighter.
