Part 665: Konpei Island - Turn 10

Konpei Island Update 10

Explosions rippled up the Hunchback’s torso like a dozen blossoming roses, scattering shrapnel and leaving only an oily black smoke lingering in the air. Isoroku staggered, but had no trouble keeping the Murakami on its feet. He held up his undamaged left arm, showing the pure white sword he’d had painted along the length of the forearm, and returned fire at the enemy missile-boat. The `Mech was patterned off of a Samurai warrior, a fact Isoroku found oddly distasteful. It shouldn’t have mattered, a `Mech was a `Mech after all, and yet it felt like an insult.

The ungainly form of Captain Jagoda’s venerable JagerMech crested the concrete berm that had once been a landing strip for large cargo aircraft. He called out a warning, she was rushing into the open and straight into the guns of the enemy! The JagerMech was by no means fast, but it was fast enough, closing the distance to the enemy Galahad in a dozen lumbering strides.

“Captain, you are too exposed!”

“You told me to follow my gut,” was Jagoda’s calm reply. She reared back, firing her autocannons and lasers as much to blind and confuse the enemy as to harm them. The Galahad reeled as Himura added his firepower to the mix, its left arm fell away as its side torso gave way. The Galahad was built too well for that to be a deathblow, but the Galahad’s jutting cockpit was exposed. Jagoda crushed it with one of the JagerMech’s long, wedge-shaped feet. Her panting was audible over the company channel, she’d either forgotten to key off her microphone or her breathing was loud enough to fool the computer into broadcasting anyway.
