“We’ve got this, Vasquez!” Andrew said as his Awesome limped with a confident swagger through Summer’s bizarre “grass” covered trees. He shouldered one aside and was lost in a flurry of falling flakes, only to emerge moments later with the barrels of his PPCs pointed at the massive and distant Behemoth. “A TA field can’t stand up to PPCs, the General proved it! All we need to do—”
His PPCs discharged in a flash of static electricity as power from their drained capacitors trailed after the charged particles the weapons had so recently accelerated to near the speed of light. Thunder roared as an arc of green lightning deflected Andrew’s PPCs--or would, once the effects wizards went over the holo—and Andrew’s confident speech died with a sputtering choke.
“—is believe?” Vasquez replied in mocking tones.
“Look out, Andrew!” Hogarth’s strong voice filled the comms, the General’s autocannons roared as they walked tracers up the Behemoth’s sloping chest. Most glanced from the `Mech’s protective barrier, but a few of the high-velocity slugs seemed to slip past the arcs of neon-green death to strike sparks against the distant metal monster. The Behemoth was unperturbed, the tubes of its massive cannons leveled themselves in Andrew’s direction to unleash a fusillade from which there could be no recovery!
“You fools!” The Red Corsair howled, her Battlemaster springing to life once more. “You could have made your mistake while the ghost was focusing on me!”
The Battlemaster twisted, its great wedge-shaped foot catching a pile of slightly-soggy cardboard boxes. With a scream that was a mix of defiance and frustration the Red Corsair launched the pile into the air. Boxes exploded in a succession of powerful explosions as her makeshift chaff intercepted the Behemoth’s salvo.
“There’s no way in hell we’re abandoning you, lady,” Hogarth countered irreverently. “You may be the leader of Skye, but the blood of House Steiner still flows through your veins! I knew there’s no way you’d let a real Lyran come to harm! Now, get clear and let us handle this! I promise you, we’ll buy Skye’s freedom—Skye’s real freedom—with our lives!”
