There was no time or place for distractions in the middle of battle, your focus had to be strong--unwavering. That was one of Mara’s flaws. Her skill in combatant was weakened by her inability to avoid distractions. There were too many sounds, too many things elsewhere to worry on and her mind was unable to shut it all out.

But the bolt that grazed her arm did more than enough to recapture her attention. Grimacing through the pain, she reached out and tossed the stormtrooper to the side, creating an opening for herself and those under her command. Hearing her troops run past her, she started to move with them when something changed. Someone unexpected was among the First Order’s numbers.

“Fall back!” There was hesitation among her men, she could feel it. “Now!” Moving to stand at the front of the group, a feeling of dread settled in her stomach. The saber in her hand ignited, bathing the surrounding area in a pale blue light, if the First Order sent who she thought they did, she’d need the weapon to even stand a chance.
