“That’ll teach you to be overly chivalrous,” Fynn crowed as his PPC caught the back of the Cronus’s heavily-armored leg. He’d been aiming for the knee, but molten armor running from a good hit to the upper thigh could damage a machine’s mobility. Unfortunately, Fynn wasn’t that lucky—or maybe his Death-From-Above had simply used up whatever store of good fortune Lady Luck had saved for all those poker games he’d thrown to make the officers feel good about themselves.

Well, to hell with Luck then. He was in no mood to play nice with war criminals, and as bad as the Capellans were at least they fought like civilized people—not with nuclear bombardments and mass-murder.

********************

Cy watched the Cicada as it once again leapt away. It was frustrating, having an enemy so close and seemingly vulnerable and still being unable to land a solid hit. He wanted to chase it down, to saw its legs off with his Large Pulse Laser, or even just trip the damned thing just to claim some minor victory. Unfortunately, sticking around had just gone from dangerous to nearly suicidal—his `Mech’s sensors had picked up the bigger enemy `Mech, and while he could probably manage to stay out of its line of sight—barely—he couldn’t do so if he wanted to chase after that Cicada. As much as it irritated him, he’d probably have to let it go.

Well, revenge could wait a day or two. He just had to keep himself alive—and stop his father’s officers from taking the Caesar away from him—but he’d pay back his father’s killers. Ten-fold.
