Kei Katou’s face was void of expression as he lunged towards the wall of Clan armor, unleashing a storm of missiles and lasers as much to distract his opponents as hurt them. He refused to die here—not before taking at least one of these alien monsters with him, at any rate! He couldn’t communicate with his team any longer—nor did he particularly care to, though his mad rush threw off their aim.
His ‘Mech shook under the Guillotine’s barrage, and he cringed inwardly as it took a shot at the Gwenhwyfar’s nigh-crippled Wyvern. In response, he smashed his ‘Mech’s leg into the Guillotine. It was a standard combat ploy, but seemed to take the enemy ‘Mech by surprise. The bigger machine’s response was slow enough that its leg ruptured midway through the kick—the shattered armor no longer able to hold in the Myomer-sustaining atmosphere.
His cockpit opened to space, he had a clear view of the Clan pilot through her cockpit glass as her machine refused to obey her commands to back up. He would have laughed, were it not a waste of precious oxygen—instead he did the only thing he could think of, flashing her a sarcastically-cheerful smile and a jaunty wave.
Her face flashed red with fury, and he imagined, were her own cockpit open to space, that she would have attempted to jump across to his machine and punish his insolence directly. He did laugh then—her machine could be picked apart at leisure.
