Army of the Southern Cross

[Sherwood]

Heinrich's shot hits both FPA 1 and 2, catching them on fire. Their armor is still holding, but it is hurting.

FPA 4 lines up another shot at Moira, this time with the arm mounted blasters. The shot goes wide, blasting some trees instead.

Psychie is up

[Psychie]

"Nice try, sweetheart. Now its my turn!" She lifts up her mecha's arm to unleash the main gun and fires a MPAT shell at FPA 1 and 2.

[Sherwood]

Moira's shot hits the two suits of powered armor, doing even more damage to them. Their armor is shredded, and a hard sneeze will be enough to take them out.

The micronized infantry begin to scatter into the trees, trying to get away from the ASC forces.

Silanon is up

[Silanon]

Of course, the plasma might already be enough to do the trick over time - however, given the state of her shields and seeing the red alerts on her screens, Fia would rather not test that out. Thus, she aims her gunpod at one of the FPA's once more, trying to silence it once and for all before it can cause any more damage.

 

[Sherwood]

Critical Strike! FPA 1 gets a hole blasted right through her, dropping the mecha from the sky.

AldarisLordOfLight is up with Adrain

[AldarisLordOfLight]

"Of all times!" Adrian scowled at the flashing signs signaling the problem his main weapon is experiencing. He'll have to fix that after the battle. "No use complaining now," he said as he quickly transformed his tank. With the Battloid mode in place, he grabbed the EU-11 Gun Pod and aimed it at the damaged FPA-2. "This is cheating, targeting systems look flawless; if they have this kind of system with most guns, then life would be a tad bit easier for everyone especially boring. Eh, less work anyway. Firing..."

 

[Sherwood]

Adrian lines up a shot at the damaged armor unit, and even with a grazing blow, manages to finish it off. It falls to the ground in flames, probably killing the pilot in the impact.

Eric lines up a shot at the remaining Female Powered Armor unit, but she manages to dodge the shot.

Orikanyo is up next.

[Orikanyo]

"Keep the pressure on them! Don't let up!" the sergeant barked, raising his gun pod towards the final fpa and fired a burst.

 

[Sherwood]

This time, the armored unit fails to dodge and is hit with a solid blow.

In response, the FPA unit launches a volley of ten mini missiles at Heinrich. They will hit unless you can confuse them with your chaff our shoot them down.

Psychie is up next

[Psychie]

This fight needs to end. The infantry is of little threat; it's that bitch in her armored suit that is the real threat. Aiming her gun pod at the Zentraedi unit, Moira fires off a burst, hoping to score a hit.

[Sherwood]

Amazingly, the shot actually hits and does excellent damage.

The micronized infantry continue to run, knowing that they have zero chance against you.

Silanon is up, and Orikanyo has a defense to declare

[Orikanyo]

Heinrich releases his chaff, doing his best to keep his shields raised.

 

[Silanon]

"Got one, I've seen enough missiles for today - opening fire at the last FPA as well." Once more, Fia raises her gunpod, delivering another burst at the only target of relevance.

 

[Sherwood]

Fia takes careful aim, but her target is just too maneuverable and you miss your attack.

Heinrich tries to confuse the missiles, but they strike home on his armor anyways. You take a total of 260 mess that you can split between your shield and main body. How do you wish to split the damage up?

[AldarisLordOfLight]

"This will be the last of the larger threats before we can eliminate the small fry!" Adrian said through comms as he took aim at the last FPA out on the field. "We don't want any of them getting away and blabbing about what happened here..." He said before firing.

 

[Orikanyo]

200 to shield and 60 to body

 

[Sherwood]

Another good hit on the Zentraedi mecha. She is still functioning, but is getting closer to being taken out of the fight.

Eric lines up another shot with his gun pod, and immediately begins to swear as his shot goes wide. He is so pissed off you think he is inventing new cuss words on the spot

Orikanyo is up with Heinrich, and you need to let me know how you want to take your damage from the missiles.

[Orikanyo]

*COUGH* look above your post*COUGH*

200 to shield and 60 to body

Heinrich pivoted to fire once again at the FPA, firing a burst upon the ticky mecha once again. "just abit more..."

 

[Sherwood]

Heinrich hits his target, ripping in to the weakened armor even more. It is nearly finished.

In response, the FPA decides that she has had enough of this crap, and turns to break off contact. She is flying away, accelerating up to Mach speed.

Psychie is up. If you wish to engage the retreating FPA, you'll have one good shot before she is out of range.

[Psychie]

Taking careful aim, Moira fires off a burst into the back of the retreating powered armor unit. Hopefully it will be enough to keep her from getting away.

 

[Sherwood]

Clean miss.

Silanon is up. The FPA is now at extreme range, but you have a chance to drop her

[Silanon]

She's seen the damage one of them can do, and how many shots it takes to stop them. Even if this is an almost impossible shot, it's probably still easier than fighting her at some later stage on once more. Thus, the gunpod roars again, spitting out a volley of well-aimed shots to get rid of the problem right now.

 

[Sherwood]

Critical Strike! Fia scores a direct hit on the fleeing FPA, and it explodes in mid air. All that's left of the enemy forces are the six infantry men and the handful of fleeing micronized troops.

AldarisLordOfLight is up with Adrian

[Psychie]

Moira calls out, "Damn good shooting there! That's the way to do it! Way to go, Fia!" The Zentraedi pilot has a ear to ear grin on her face, only upset with the fact that it was not her own shot to bring down the fleeing opponent. But not that upset. She is very much a team player, and a win for the Hussars is a win for her, too.

 

[Silanon]

"Almost thought it would escape - quite impressive that the bloody thing still flew, the whole team shot at it, after all." Certainly some footage to use later on, at least the final, lucky shot. And likewise a reminder that the Zentraedi themselves have more to offer than helpless grunts, just like those who are left for now, trying to escape the Hussars.
