End Phase:



“We’re under fire,” Satomi’s voice filled the radio-waves. After a bout of heavy coughing, she continued, “The big one has—”

Her signal died with a sudden finality as the ‘boom’ of a heavy autocannon reverberated through the valley. A hit from the Thunderchild’s laser seared armor from Ivar the Boneless’s right breast. Agaki grimaced. There would be time for the honored dead later, this was a fight for the living.

“Ha!” An exultant cry filled Agaki’s ears a half-second before an SRM burst against his cockpit glass. The Thunderchild sailed through the air towards his position, if the pilot had waited for firm footing, perhaps she’d have been able to fire more than just the six.

“I have you, you clan motherfucker!” Chu-i Grist cried as his Hunchback’s own heavy autocannon laid low the more-manlike Clan heavy. “Hey, Colonel? Better tag this asshole a Niddhog, because once we’ve kicked the Clans off Satalice I’m using this bastard as a fucking planter!”

Neither Agaki nor his Grand Dragon heard news of Luthor Grist’s success. Cockpit crushed in a tangled mess of steel and glass, the headless Grand Dragon crumpled against the rock face it’d been hiding behind, and nearly fell to block the base of the pass below.
