“Look out, General!” Andrew exclaimed as he broke his Awesome into a dead sprint. His PPCs discharged wildly as his sudden burst of speed threw his carefully-aimed shots off target as he charged towards the newly re-risen Panther. Its body moving in unnatural jerks, the little ghost-possessed `Mech barely had to move to draw a bead on the General’s vulnerable rear armor. Its right-arm PPC rose in an instant, filling the air with charged particles before Andrew could close the gap. The manmade lightning scoured armor from the Atlas’s arm. Missiles roared from the quad-rack on the little Panther’s chest, and the wildly corkscrewing warheads detonating with a flash of pyrotechnic smoke and sparks as they struck the Atlas’s thin rear armor.
Andrew struck with the force of a battering ram—at least he would have, had the fight been real. Instead, the young `Mechwarrior brought his Awesome to an abrupt halt and let fly with his chest-mounted PPCs. At such close range, and fired against such a small target, only one beam hit successfully, blasting armor from the Panther’s vulnerable legs. The Panther’s metal fist glanced from the Awesome’s heavily-armored chest, and Andrew lashed out in an instant splintering the little `Mech’s leg with a reflexive, full-power kick.
“Fuck me, whoops! Sorry!” he called out apologetically even as the Panther’s pilot ejected to avoid taking a nasty tumble. It was probably for the best as the little `Mech’s head rebounded from the hard ice a moment later. The enemy `Mechwarrior’s suicidally-crimson ‘chute opened a moment later, its surface adorned with the fleurs-de-lis of Skye. For a few moments Andrew’s Awesome mirrored his sheepish uncertainty, its left arm rose to mimic scratching the back of the metal man’s head. “Sorry about that, whoever you are! I, uh--I had to stop the ghost!”
