    Shirou had his hands full as he faced off against the mass of bugs exploding out of what used to be the mess tent. Three mechs had stayed at the central field, three more had joined him at the mess tent, and Rachel the card shark was piloting her Firestorm around the vicinity of the civilian...

    << "Sure, sounds fun," Mikasa replied. "And Sargent, you don't have to be so formal with me. Mikasa, or Jade Dragon out in the field, will do just fine." >> Johnny smiled at that. “Sure, Mikasa. My pleasure. See you in a few, once we get the table set up.” Soon the game was in progress, and...

    << Mikasa left the medical wing and started to follow the instructions from the PA message. >> As Mikasa entered the general hangar Johnny approached, a big smile on his face and riffling through a deck of cards in his hands. “Corporal Clayden, Ma’am! Nice to see you again: great job today...

    << "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH" Shirou shot up, screaming for a few seconds, before realizing he was in a bed. "Um... sorry bout that!" >> The girl relaxed and shook her head. “That’s okay. Happens more often than you might think.” She retrieved her book and set it on a side table. “I’m...

    << Mikasa let out a sigh. "What I was trying to say back there was that...I lost my parents too. Both were killed by bugs." She stayed silent after that. >> Diana regained some composure, wiping away her tears. “So, that’s why you fight.” It was a statement, not a question. During the ride...

    << "I wasn't always a mech pilot...," she said softly to Diana... >> “Yeah?” sniffed Diana, “So?” << Old memories started to well up, but now wasn't a good time to be distracted. She pushed them down and started moving the rubble pinning down the Jade Hawk. >> There was one huge chunk of...

    << "You're not alone, Diana. I know what that's like...," Mikasa said as she patted the crying girl's head. >> “How could you know?” the girl wept: “I heard them _eating_ my Mom! And I couldn’t do _anything_ to stop it!” << "Step back," Mikasa spoke to the civilian through her speakers. She...

    << Thankfully, the Cerberus Hovertank arrived to lend back up. The tank opened fire on the bug, but the unfortuneate part was that it was directly firing from behind Himself and the Jade Dragon. >> From that distance, none of the Cerberus’ weapons had the range to actually hit, but the howl of...

    Futuristic Juggernauts: Mechs vs. Bugs

    << "GET OUT OF MY WAY!" Shirou yelled as his Jade Hawk fired several missiles directly towards the tail of the mammothine insect, before bringing its right claw up towards the head of the scorpion, aiming to hit the brain of it. >> Shirou’s missiles missed the wildly thrashing tail of the...

    Futuristic Juggernauts: Mechs vs. Bugs

    << "Bring it on!" He yelled as he got into melee combat with the insects. The claws of the Jade Hawk made more metalic slashing noises as the bugs hit by the claws splattered blood onto his machine. >> These claws were even more effective than his chainsaw, he was finding out. Every bug he...

    << "We should do this again sometime, tiger," she said. "See you after my show." She flashed a foxy smile and winked at her vampire boyfriend. >> “Definitely,” Tom said, “to both.” But now the distraction was over, he needed to focus on the business soon at hand. He climbed the steps to...

    Futuristic Juggernauts: Mechs vs. Bugs

    << To assist Johnny, she fired volley after volley of lasers, alternating between both PPC cannons on her mech's arms. >> Alternating PPCs kept her mech running cool: both PPCs at once would have heated her up. Each laser she fired chopped through a couple of bugs, but the PPC shots made four...

    << Shirou spoke on the radio as the jets of his Jade Hawk flashed to life. "I'm taking down those Scouts! Cover me!" >> Johnny was startled as he saw jump jets firing off his nine. “Hold on, there! Don’t break forma--” His mouth hung open as the mech soared into the air, but there was no time...

    Futuristic Juggernauts: Mechs vs. Bugs

    Some mornings positively fly by. This one certainly had. Reveille had been sounded early, and Cappy had to scramble to get hot eggs, sausage and bacon out on time. They had been briefed as they ate. “At Oh five hundred thirty this morning, the bugs conducted a raid on Carterville, a suburb of...

    Diane tiptoed down the stairs, poured herself a glass of milk and stepped out on the porch to watch the sunrise. At fourteen, this had become one of her chief pleasures in life: to grab a moment’s peace and contentment from the beauty of the dawn over the desert. Diane lived in Carterville, a...

    << "Oi, knock it off!" She said to the soldiers that were teasing Johnny. He had made the wrong assumption about her and clearly understood that. She didn't see the point in rubbing it in; besides, it's not like the interaction had offended her or anything. If anything it had been rather...

    << "Excuse me miss, do you know where Captain Powell is?" >> The very short lady (about 5’2”) turned sharply towards him and replied. “That would be me, soldier. And the proper address would be ‘ma’am.’” Her tone was authoritative, but not harsh. She waited for his salute, then returned it...

    << “No, we don’t have any” she replied. “But my ‘American’ is just fine.” She took off her dog tags and handed them over so that Johnny could have a better look. She made sure to have the one spelled in English, with her American surname. Maybe he’d recognize the surname, maybe he wouldn’t. >>...

    Futuristic Juggernauts: Mechs vs. Bugs

    Johnny watched the first new recruit come through the tent flap: a Japanese lady already wearing an American uniform, one with Corporal’s bars, yet proudly displaying her full sleeve tattoo and a wild haircut that must be all the craze in New Tokyo, for all he knew. Through the screens he could...
