The Duel (3)

"General! The sensors have detected a massive energy source heading toward us at high speed!" One of the officers under Leena's command shouted, a note of panic in his voice.

Leena barely glanced up. "And? Raise the shield and brace for impact. It's probably just another Khryssari weapon," she said, her voice steady, almost bored. She was a seasoned general, and she wasn't about to be rattled by some stray projectile.

But this was no ordinary weapon. It was an enraged K. Champion, with his eyes blazing with fury, slamming headfirst into the ship's energy shield with a resounding thud that reverberated through the hull.

Leena raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. "Ha! The bug thinks it can break through our shield? How idiotic can these creatures be?" She sneered, casting a mocking smile in the champion's direction. "All turrets, fire! Shoot it down."
