There was no time, not even to try and check to see if the blood bending would work. There were just too many enemies swarming them, and one false move would take her out of this. She could already sense approaching Assassins even if she couldn't see them, and blindly attacking the air wasn't going to get the trick done. So she decided to try a tactic they'd least expect, which would give HER some time: she took the water whip, dropped to her knees and solidified enough of the whip around her so anyone approaching would trip up.

It was a temporary solution to one Kaya knew she would now have to solve with her strength, as bending was no longer an option that would stay. She rolled out of her hiding place now, grabbing at the guns she'd previously discarded and fired several blasts. Any assassin coming forward would now get the brunt of her Bene Gesserit training, which aimed to incapacitate an opponent by hitting its weakest points and rendering it weakened to pick off. She went at the assassins at full gusto, using every ounce of speed she could muster, pausing only to catch her breath when she attacked again, shooting, then bending when necessary. She was getting hit all right, but she made sure to stay just out of reach of those poisoned claws.
