Hail eyed the enemy Stingers with eyes as cold as his namesake. He’d always been fond of surprising the enemy with extreme aggression—and had always resented having been kicked out of the Donegal Guards for it. With a snap decision he jetted forward, trying to predict the flying stinger’s landing zone. He let fly with his SRMs, more to provoke his opponent into making a mistake than with any real expectation of hitting—and he wasn’t wrong; his corkscrewing SRMs missed the speedy Stinger by a few dozen meters; but the enemy pilot stopped short as he attempted to return fire, then smashed into the treeline rather than his intended landing zone.
Hail came down behind him, took a swing with both arms—and cursed as he came up short; his wild punches shattering trees rather than the Stinger’s vulnerable legs. The Stinger’s pilot launched a kick that might’ve been devastating if it hadn’t been deflected by a falling tree. Hail smiled—there was still plenty of time to deal with this little pest.
Hail flinched and chuckled as the Stinger activated its shoulder-mounted floodlight, the bright light surrounding both machines with a corona of mist. The glare was intense—and the Stinger was right in the center of it: easy prey.
