“Merciful Buddha!” Chu-I Eriksson cursed as the enemy Thunderchild opened fire with its large laser. The shot struck a tree less than a meter in front of him, blasting it to flaming splinters. Another few steps forward, and the shot would’ve caught him square in the cockpit.

In a snap decision, he returned fire with his PPCs. Both shots went low, spraying dirt and shards of the rocky ridgeline over hundreds of meters of terrain. Heat spiked in his cockpit as his Marauder’s engine throttled into a high-frequency hum as it increased power to recharge the spent PPCs. Beside him, his comrades opened fire as well, but succeeded mostly in blasting more dirt from the hillside.

A flying pebble pinged from his armor as his computer painted a grim picture: a few missiles had pitted—but not penetrated—the armor protecting the annoyingly quick little medium’s left hip.
