He grinned, his three sets of fangs on each side coming out, as they did when his blood got up at the prospect of a good fight. He took his stance, took a deep breath, his pistol toward his opponent, energy saber out behind him, but still not activated. He was going to try an issue the weapon combination caused against someone with too good of hearing. He aimed slightly to the right of the target, and fired once, activating the energy saber as he fired, the sounds of both energy weapons discharging magnifying the noise as they had an unusual feature when used in tandem. Their activation energy bursts were identical. There were seven known weapons that had identical energy burst signatures, a trio and two pairs, and Draiss had the first pair found in his hands. They were slightly weaker than the newest models because of their age, but they were far more energy efficient. As the noise spiked, he fired a second shot, along the exact same path as the first one, before reappearing behind the target, already twisting and bringing the blade around from his left, a basic opener that would bisect anyone not beyonder boosted or divine. As it was, he figured the assassin would find it either boring or amusing, but it was a decent opening combination, the noise of the synched bursts negating the noise of him appearing behind him and from the energy saber.
