Snippet #2672044

As he'd hoped the alien's full attention was focused on finishing off his current battle as quickly as possible, too focused to become aware of the imminent danger until it was too late, Taao's gambit paid off as his attack found it's mark. The elation and victory he experienced was a fleeting one. The alien proved to be more resilient than he'd expected, giving no time for a finishing blow to be dealt he'd took hold of Taao's extended right arm just before dashing into the air, Taao's immediately understood he'd made a critical misjudgment in not going for a vital organ. The alien had begun to prepare a counter attack but Taao's paid it no mind, he already knew what he had to do to escape this situation and he did,'t hesitate for a second. This time Taao did let out a cry as he raised his left arm in a right angle above his head just for a moment before bringing it down on his bicep with enough force to lob it clean off. Unlike most creatures, loosing an arm or leg was hardly a hindrance to a nimekian warrior.

With the threat removed Taao immediately dashed backward putting even more distance between him and the enemy to avoid any counter blast the alien probably hoped to trap him in. It's only victim would be his already severed arm. He looked up just in time to see one of the women appear near to the alien, and using a ki blast propelled herself vertically, right for the alien. He marveled at their raw combat ability, Taao fully expected they would both be out for a while, but here she'd already recovered and launched a counter attack which was to her credit quite unorthodox. Weather or not her second attack proved more fruitful than the last Taao hoped she would keep his attention long enough for him to gather the energy he needed to regenerate his right arm and get back in the fight.
