Matsukaze Ravenwater felt alive again, for the first time in a long while. The burned skin on his face still hurt intensely, and he tasted blood when his lips curled into a smile. He’d recognized at the last minute that the ground floor of the building he’d been preparing to power himself through was a bank—reinforced heavily, leaving him no way to get through without doing himself irreparable leg damage.

He pushed off with both of the Gargoyle’s hands, intentionally toppling backwards before kicking in his jump jets and sailing free of the `Mech-sized crater he’d put in the side of the building. An exceptionally skilled pilot, he twisted mid-air and used his Gargoyle’s unbalanced flight to propel it down the street. He landed heavily behind his pursuer—it wouldn’t have been his first choice, flanking intentionally was a gross violation of Clan honor rules—but this mission had been without honor to begin with.

He fired, bringing his weapons in line with the Warhammer’s arms and legs to spare it the humiliation of killing it from behind. Even the staunchest of Crusaders wouldn’t have denied him his choice of targets; and only a few of his SRMs caught the enemy heavy `Mech in the back.
