Lunging from the woods like an enraged bear, the Bobcat’s medium lasers lashed out against King’s little Locust. Still wobbling as it tried to balance on a single leg, the bird-like `Mech could neither dodge nor run from its charging foe. The lasers struck in an instant, blasting away the Locust’s wing and coring through the thin armor protecting its chest. The Locust’s gyro skipped and, without a second leg, that’s all it took to send the light `Mech crashing face-first into the ground. Its blackened and brittle armor crumpled under the impact, and its structure screamed in protest at the abuse.
The Bobcat’s PPC missed wide even as the remains of Chaitzi’s command opened fire, tearing rents in the enemy `Mech’s badly weakened armor and setting exposed myomer bundles aflame. He felt a momentary surge of pride as the Bobcat faltered, then cursed as it punched out at Halas’ Valkyrie with the short blade at its right wrist. The attack drove the blade deep into the Valkyrie’s side, and the Bobcat barely had time to pull it free before the Valkyrie’s final load of ammunition exploded in an actinic flash, sending the right arm—and the Valkyrie’s final remaining weapon—skittering down the rocky slope like an insane toboggan.
