"Damn it."  Abigail shouted as she turned back to watch her sword said off behind her.  "Stay in the moment.  That's what the books always say. Stay in the moment."  She turned her attention back to her opponent, realizing she'd broken the primary rule again as the sword flew towards her chest.  "God damn it!"  She shouted as she twisted her body away so the blade didn't cut her open. Instinctively she pulled away and lost her balance when the back of her foot came into contact with a small dune and she fell backwards.  

"A time out wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility would it?"  Abigail said as she scrambled backwards in the sand.  She stopped when she heard Asus threatening the marine with a gun.  "I bet you wish you would've taken the whole time out thing now, don't you."  She tried to smile something confident but the fact she still kept going backwards betrayed her nerves.
