Mara vs thud bugs

"Do not mock me!" Yomin Carr roared, and he pulled another thud bug from his bandolier and let it fly at Mara.
She took a shot at it, but it dodged, and then she had to dive aside, once and then again as it swooped around. It started to loop for a third pass, but this time, she got her aim and blew it out of the air.
Yomin Carr continued to laugh.
Mara turned her blaster on him. "I think you'll be coming with me," she said.
He laughed louder and started to reach for his bandolier.
"Don't make me," she warned raising the blaster threateningly.
He just laughed and continued, and she shot him. But the magnificent, plated armor turned the blast aside.
Eyes wide with disbelief, Mara had to move again, and quickly, as Yomin Carr tossed out another thud bug, and another, and another. She wisely abandoned her blaster, tossing it aside and drawing out her lightsaber. Then she went into a frantic dance, twisting and parrying, lightsaber intercepting the darting thud bugs as they came at her in rapid succession.
Yomin Carr's laugh turned into a growl as he nearly emptied his bandolier, a dozen thud bugs darting and spinning at Mara.
Her glowing blade worked in a furious, humming blur, whipping up high and to the side, down low— and when she couldn't catch up to that low-flying missile, she deftly hopped it-and then back up, connecting with one zooming creature barely a centimeter from her face. She turned about and sliced across, picking two out of the air, then dropped into a squat, the lightsaber flashing up above her head to take out a diving bug, then swishing down to the side, forcing another to alter its course. It tried to turn about, but had too much momentum and smashed into the back wall, crashing in đeep.
Mara spun about to face Yomin Carr, dived into a forward roll to regain her balance and to avoid any forthcoming attacks. Her lightsaber was at the ready as she came up, but the next missile plopped down-harmlessly, Mara believed-a couple of meters in front of her.
