Subject: Othello looked over the balcony...it was a long way down...

"Rugby to the right of me, Rugby to the left of me. Rugby in front, and Rugby behind!" moaned the masterful con artist. Below he could see Sitis tossing a woman aside. What was he doing with her Othello had no idea, but right now he was wanting off this station.

He had left his best defense, Rapport, back in the Holo-rooms and was now fleeing for his life. Guards had come looking for him, and he stood out a bit to well in this circumstance. He'd torn off most of the SBR uniform, leaving only a mutilated vest of what he once wore. Othello hated looking bad, it infuriated him. Now he stood on a balcony just below a midsized space liner, Rugbian class he figured. Below him beings all were rushing about, trying to deal with all that was happening. No one was really paying that much mind, except those he had pushed over, or knocked out in his flight, to Othello. He was like any other maximal on this station.

Iago looked up when he heard Othello's cries, and there was a malevolent twinkle in his eyes. Othello swallowed, and saw that Sitis was fast approching. He noticed that words were spilling from Iago's mouth, but he couldn't read them.

Then he felt pain. Violent pain, all up and down his right arm. He looked and saw, that the section where his elbow joint met his fore arm was compleatly blackened, and hanging loosely. He let out a gut wreching scream, and felt some one kick him in the head. Flipping over and coming up standing, while trying not to fall over into a massive ball of shaking fur and shivering circuts, Othello noticed a man with a sharp scar that ran down to his neck. He gowled at the man, who seemed to shrug it off.

"And I was always taught to believe that Maximals were the good guys." the upstart said pointing the small blaster, with the electroshocker add on, at Othello. The man smiled, a sarsastic, meanial grin, the type you might give to a child when they've bumped their butt on the floor and laughted about it.

"Pity that your parents taught you poorly!" Othello snarled and pulled out the lightblade that he carried with him. (He had managed to get it off of a old woman who claimed it was her fathers.) Thumbing it on, he slashed out at the man, who ducked and doged. Othello landed a high kick when the man thought he was aiming low, and connected with the mans jaw. The man flew back, slamming into some tourist that were on the balcony with them.

At once the man got up, either oblivous to the pain, or he was more of an ignorant baffon than Othello believed him to be. Once more the man shot off a round, and Othello blocked and dodged most. Except one that hit a pipe and spurted some gooy mess on his face. He couldn't see the man's running approch. Didn't see him grab onto the railing and swing him self just so, that he caught Othello with both feet in the solar plex and sent the lion Maximal, arm flaying off the balcony and on to the roof of the ship below!
