“Did I mention how risky I think this plan is?” Amber asked over the comm, glancing nervously around. The team had returned to the same area where they had been ambushed, armed with freshly repaired power armors and a sense of wariness. Last time, they had been taken by a surprise and it was not an experience that she cared to repeat. “Yes!” The three others chorused the words less rebuke and more humble teasing. Though he chose not to show it, Hiromi could feel his heart beating faster at times when he was exposed from cover, knowing what could happen if their formation became sloppy. Especially after last time. “The rouge doesn’t seem to be operating with any support, and the attack wasn't against an installation.” JP reminded her, speaking quickly to take another look back at the sky. “It seems like he was going after targets of opportunity. He doesn’t really seem to be a planner. The bastard’s likely operates out of a certain radius of operations. Coming back here seems to be our best bet.” “Still gives me the heebie-fucking-jeebies” Muttered Ian. “You’re going to owe us some drinks ki-Incoming heat Signature, 8 o’clock!” Ian quickly cut himself off, sliding back behind a building for cover with Hiromi while JP and Amber dove behind a nearby car. Their caution was rewarded moments later as the power armor made a strafing run with its beam cannon which, while missing all of them, sprayed a great deal of asphalt into the air as it struck the road. “Now!” Hiromi roared as the team broke from cover, massing their fire to take advantage of the loss of maneuverability caused by going into fighter mode. One of the mega beam rifle blasts managed to clip one of the wings, the damage resulting in the power armor entering a spin. The team could hear a scraping noise as the power armor skittered across the rooftops, coming to a halt with a sickening thud. For a few moments, there was absolute silence. “Did we get him?” Amber called out, tentatively stepping forward, slightly lowering her rifle. “Yes.” JP replied, stepping out from behind the car keeping his rifle raised. “I think the real ques-“ JP suddenly stopped as a golden beam erupted from one of the building windows, catching him directly in the chest. “Jean-Patrick!” Amber shouted as she watched her squad mate hit the ground, hesitation only momentary before she raised her own rifle and fired at the unknown Gundam. However, that momentary distraction had been just enough, the rouge darting back inside the building. Hiromi and Ian joined in, shattering all the glass in the windows with repeated shots from their rifles. “We need to assume that he’s not down. Amber, how’s Jean-Patrick?” Amber quickly kneeled down next to her squad mate, who gave her a weak smile. “I’m not going anywhere for a while mon cheri, but make no mistake, I’m not out for the count yet.” JP coughed. “The armor held, but I think I have a broken some ribs. Get me back behind the car.” Amber nodded in agreement. Leaving him so unprotected while in the middle of the firefight would not end well. “Cover me!” She called out over the comm, lowering her rifle as she began to drag JP. Ian and Hiromi spread out, not wanting to get caught up in a beam blast at the same time, keeping their guns trained at the windows. A shadow would be all the warning that they would get the unknown Gundam leaping from the top of one building to the next before hitting Hiromi with a kick that knocked him through a glass door. Ian immediately fired, catching the fast moving Gundam in the left shoulder, the operator letting out a howl of agony that could be heard through his helmet. He quickly transformed again, ramming Ian. The damage to the wings prevented the Rouge from getting far, but it was enough to knock Ian off his feet. As he rose into the sky Ian grinned, pulling out his beam saber and lifting it to swing down onto his foe. “Got you now bast-“ The grin quickly slid from Ian’s face as he felt something pointing against his chest plate. The beam cannon went off at point blank range, the otherwise pristine armor melting away as the force of the blast sent him skittering across rooftops. Hiromi looked up, trying to reorient himself after being knocked so far. He had begun to get to his feet when a familiar blast struck again, peeling his armor away. Hiromi rolled over as the rouge armor responded again, kicking him in the side, the depleted armor causing him to double over in pain. “I remember you.” A voice came out through the speaker. “Yer the one who destroyed my cannon last time. You idjits. Just. Don’t. LEARN!” The rouge kicked again, his voice rising to a fever pitch, letting out a howl of rage. Or was it agony? As Hiromi watched, a beam suddenly thrust through the chest of the rouge from behind, a furious Amber leaning in. “Oh, I think we’ve picked up a thing or two. Forget about me?” Amber completed the attack, slicing through the man’s heart. The rouge armor faltered from a moment as Amber’s attack caused a chain reaction, the armor erupting into flames. Hiromi watched for a moment, uncurling as he looked up at his savior. “Good one. Not that I’m complaining, but next time, if you have a shot like that, try to take him alive.” Behind her helmet Amber rolled her eyes. “Everyone’s a critic.” She offered her hand to her squad mate, who took it. “Yes I am.” Hiromi replied, a hint of bemusement. “Thanks.” He added after a pause. “Sound off everyone." “I’m fine. Just a little annoyed at missing out all the action.” JP’s voice came through clear on the comm. “I’ve already called for paramedics.” “Fthhhhat little bastad.” Ian slurred, clearly disoriented. “Sent me for a loop.” He dropped off a moment after that. “Ian…Ian!” Hiromi called over the comm, worried for his friend. “JP, prioritize Ian!” Hiromi stepped out onto the street, eyeing the destruction. “It never ends, does it?” Result: Hiromi Copress and Squad Win! Hiromi and Squad: +7XP and +3% synch rate, 3 days repairing, 2 days injured. Edited by Wild, Nov 29 2010, 01:17 AM.
