The shots from Kalyn's blasters led the abrupt shift from tense suspicion into hectic battle. As swords and guns were being drawn on both sides of the conflict the two bolts that had started it all met their target atop the tower. Laitra speed prevented them from being as effective as intended; the woman's sword was out and the shots deflected almost faster than the eyes could see as her attention turned from Averia to Kalyn. She was greeted with a smirk and a hail of unending shots that gave her little time to do anything more than shield herself as she tried to draw her own blaster and return fire. Kalyn didn't have the Force on her side, but she did have honed reflexes and about as much stubbornness as a grumpy Nerf. She refused to let up until one got through seconds later, hitting the guard in the chest. The disciplined Laitra woman showed no outside pain but was smart enough to shield herself from any further attacks by retreating back behind cover. She could possibly be a problem, but would have to be dealt with later; right now there were closer, more pressing ones to deal with.
As Kalyn quickly lowered her pistols her eyes swiftly scanned her surroundings for her next targets. One droid was already crumbling to the ground in pieces while one of the Laitra guards was sent flying backwards, away from the fighting. Averia's sword was locked with the remaining guard's as the droids blasters were trained on her. Kalyn probably couldn't destroy them all at once, but she could definitely get their attention. With their attention on Averia they hadn't exactly made themselves difficult targets to hit. One dropped immediately after a blaster bolt shattered one of its mechanical eyes, the other only lasted a moment longer than its brethren before two shots tearing through its metallic chest downed it as well.
She'd done exactly what was intended; most of the droids looked away from the immediate threat of Averia and were now turning their blasters onto Kalyn. A lopsided grin that seemed to ironically exclaim 'hi guys!' greeted them right before another one was crippled by two more blasts to its face. Then began the barrage of blaster shots that forced the woman to immediately dive for the cover of the nearby wall.
As she made a mental note of how many shots were left in her guns she remembered Averia's earlier words; Kalyn needed to get herself a hold of one of those rifles the droids were using. Preferably before they could use the much stronger firepower on either her or her currently occupied pink-haired partner. She quickly holstered one of her pistols as she listened for the chorus of blaster bolts to still.
The moment there was a break in the droids shots Kalyn burst from her hiding spot, sprinting toward the fallen metal body of one of the no longer functioning droids and the blaster rifle which lied at its side. She kept herself in motion, taking shots at what was left of the group of droids as she moved. A few had already turned their attentions back onto Averia - one of those was hit directly in the side of its knee, shorting the limb, and causing it to tip and faceplant into the ground. Others remained intent on killing the human. Kalyn could hear the sounds of their shots whizzing past her, and feel the heat of those that came far too close.
Right as she reached out to grab hold of the rifle she felt a sudden force smashing against her entire body. It felt as if she had just smacked into a wall that then sent her flying back and through the air. Her feet left the ground for a much longer moment than anyone would find comfortable before her entire body met with it again, and she found herself roughly sliding across it before finally rolling to a stop. A moment was taken to get her bearings and ignore that stinging sensation on her scraped skin, but that brief moment was all she was going to get. Kalyn's gaze rose and her eyes immediately met the form of the Laitra guard who had been knocked away earlier charging at her with purpose, her sword at the ready to personally deal with the gunslinging woman.
