Just a little further... Speeders zipped by firing at the two. Deep impact craters where made, surprisingly large for how small the ammunition was. Durwin looked at the distance remaining to the bombardment ship.
We're not gonna make it. More and more of the speeders flew by and circled quickly surrounding them.
"Duffie look at me." He waited until she did and then grabbed her head with his fingertips. She tried to jump back startled but couldn't move her head. They kept running as Durwin closed his eyes. She felt a sharp stab and then a burning sensation in her skull. Her yelp had no volume to it.
"You now know what I did know about these crafts. I no longer do as a consequence but it matters not. The rate we're going, those speeders will kill us and the ship." With that Durwin made another smoke screen and pushed
Duffie ahead of him. He touched her neck with one hand the back of her thigh with the other.
"Take care, and we will meet again." He gave her one more shove but this one felt different. Duffie landed, rolling, far outside of the smoke screen a good 50 meters away from Durwin. She looked up and the ship lay just before her.
Durwin yelled, his voice rising in a crecendo,
"Alright you incompetent, foolish, ignorant, destructive, vile, rude, mean, evil, dumb, messed up creatures! I dare you to come at me!" Durwin's arms seemed to turn into twin serpents of fire and lightning. They lashed out destroying the speeders that got too close and calling attention to him and him alone.
