“OUYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!” Hogarth roared triumphantly as he brought his rotary autocannons back up to full speed. Although most of the rounds he fired were harmless blanks, every so often he’d fire a real tracer—just enough to make things look real.
“Give it all you’ve got, men!” Hogarth yelled, “Mortal courage will always triumph over the dispassion of the dead!”
As if in direct reply, the Behemoth’s gauss rifles struck the Atlas’s broad chest, shattering armor and tearing deep into myomer left exposed by purpose-built breakaway armor plating; but Hogarth was unperturbed. The giant enemy `Mech shifted, taking a half-step forward and kicking the insensate Banshee away with a blow of its massive, cloven foot. Compounding the injury, the giant Urbanmech turned with mechanical precision. One of its autocannons missed the erratically-moving `Mech, but the other struck home. The Banshee scrambled to its feet, heavily favoring its nearly-crippled right leg.
“We need to end this,” Hogarth continued, brandishing his borrowed PPC. “Everyone, it’s time! Prepair for a Final Fusillade!”
