PAGE FOURTEEN
4 panels
1 PULLBACK. Largest of page. Mari is on her feet and ready to kick @$$! Her spike is at the ready, shoulders hunched, legs staggered. Her back is too the reader and slightly hunched as she faces three K'Lar workers who are approaching the princess to meet their doom. She's half-turning to look over her shoulder at Rann and Bug in the fore of the panel, eyes squinted and feral. Rann's telling her she's in no shape to deal w/ the K'Lar; let him and Fireflyte take care of them. She's telling him to shove it; she can take care of herself...besides, it's payback time.
In this panel, Rann is kneeling over Bug giving him an EF jolt to bring him up to fighting speed. Bug has a big smile on his face, enjoying the tingling sensation. Also, we now have the K'Lar cornered, huddled around the "heart" of the space-squid.
2 Close in on Mari and her first K'Lar victim as one of the workers reaches out zombie-like to grab at her. She's easily dodging the clumsy attack, hooking one of the worker's arms in her own while simultaneously running the serrated spike through the creature's mid-section.
3 PULLBACK. Now, using the dying worker as a shield to block worker #2's clumsy attack, she's pivoting on a heel to kick #3 square in the "jaw" and withdrawing the serrated spike in one fluid motion.
4 MCU of Mari. Head-on. She's wiping the sweat off her brow w/ a forearm asking who's next in line. Her spike is dripping K'Lar goo. Her fury is less than abated. In her goo-soaked fury, she isn't noticing the very menacing looking K'Lar warrior looming over her from behind, tendrils flailing, teeth gnashing. This panel's pretty Alien-esque.
