"Damn you bastards. You made me use the goddamned cannon," growled Adrian, angrily pushing away the terminal connected to his ECM Jamming Pods before grabbing the controls for his MIW-20 Triple Barreled Ion Pulse Cannons. He took a deep breath, took aim at a Regult-2 and fires a double pulse at it. "I hope you're all fucking happy you bloody wankers!"

 

[Sherwood]

The Pod tries to dodge, but you track on it successfully and hit it with a solid punch with both your tri-cannons.

[AldarisLordOfLight]

"You sons of bitches think I can't shoot back?! I'll fucking shoot back if I have to!" Adrian shouted savagely after seeing his shot struck true. "There's more where that came from assholes; and I have a lot ready just waiting to shove them all far up your asses!"

 

[Psychie]

Moira smiles. "How very hostile and dramatic! You could almost be Zentraedi with such passion for fighting!"

 

[Orikanyo]

"See? What did I say? It is designed to kill and that what it does." the doctor chirped, happy to hear the gun roar. He took a slight moment to shift into guardian mode to tout his main cannon once more.

"Lets mop these up and get Eric repairs."

Aiming his main gun at pod 8, he lines up and fires.

 

[Sherwood]

The heavy shell manages to puncture the thin armor of the Battle Pod, dropping it with one hit.

[Psychie]

Moira calls out, "Hoorah! That's what I'm talking about! Who says that artillery is the King of Battle? I say its the hover tank!" She shifts into tank mode to unleash the main gun of the Spartas,and takes aim at Regult 2, hoping to finish it off.

 

[Sherwood]

The Zentraedi soldier in her hover tank manages to once more take out an enemy on the battlefield. The Battle Pod explodes, showering shrapnel and flames across the field.

Pods 1, 3 and 4 all turn on Moira, firing their cannons at her. Only two of the attacks will hit.

Eric also shifts modes to engage Regult 5 with his main gun, hitting it hard and taking it out of the fight.

Pods 6 and 7 continue to fire on Eric, but he leaps to the side to avoid any damage.

[Silanon]

Instead of switching modes immediately, Fia will simply rely on her gunpod once more, releasing another volley at the next-closest Regult in sight. "Always thought we'd be the ace, outdoing all the those dependable forces that didn't do the trick thus far."

 

[Sherwood]

Fia hits Regult 1 with a solid blow, but it is still functional.

The four Logans of the Black Cats squadron now come tearing into range, transforming into their Battloid modes. As one they target Regult 9, lighting it up with their gun pods until it explodes.

With the sudden arrival of the four Veritechs, Regults 10-12 can see the writing on the wall and break off the attack, turning to make a run back towards the river. They will be out of range of your gun pods soon, but your main guns have better range and can hit them out to the river with ease.

[AldarisLordOfLight]

Adrian scowled at the sight of the enemy running away. "For once in your godforsaken lives, stand and die!" With his frustration and angry disposition prevalent, he aimed his MIW-20 Triple Barreled Ion Pulse Cannons at the clearly damaged Regult-1 and took aim before firing a double pulse with the clear intention of obliterating the poor fool from the face of the planet.

 

[Sherwood]

The twin blast hits the damaged Regult, and with the weakened armor you are able to disable the Pod.

[AldarisLordOfLight]

He couldn't keep the laughter from escaping his lips at the sight of the Regult-1 meating it's end. He noticed that the others seem to be running with their tails between their legs. "Someone better stop those fools from running. Such a waste if they managed to escape after all..."

 

[Psychie]

Moira nods. "Let me see what I can do. Cycling my cannon up now."

 

[Orikanyo]

"Let them run, destroy the hostiles currently present. If they get away, there is minimal loss, as they likely already know the skirmish is happening." heinrich spoke up before raising his cannon for the second time. "We've taken too much damage already to allow them to get pot shots at us as we try and kill those already defeated. Let them run, let them scatter, they will remind themselves of their war's folly."

"That said, destroy those who remain! Show no mercy! Drive the fear of us into their hearts and let them know the punishment for even deigning to fight against our will! Zerstöre sie alle!" Loading in a nasty payload he aimed for the group of pods 3-4. Takeing careful aim before firing upon them.

 

[Sherwood]

The plasma shell goes off in between the two Pods, and the flames engulf the two of them. Not quite enough damage was done to destroy them, but they are both on fire.

[Psychie]

With the order given from Heinrich, Moira switches her target to the two Pods that he just torched. Loading a plasma of her own, she hopes to be able to finish them off before they can fire back.

 

[Sherwood]

The hot plasma fire explodes over the two pods, melting them down a bit before making them explode. The numbers of Zentraedi are thinning out rapidly.

Eric decides to go with the flow, but instead of a plasma, he loads an MPAT. His shell lands between the two and explodes, doing damage to both of them.

With so many of their comrades now serving as fertilizer and not wanting to join them, Pods 6-7 both turn and begin to bolt away. They will be in range of your gun pods for a few more actions, but the heavy cannon of the Spartas can reach out and hit them from much farther away.

[Silanon]

With all of the regults on the retreat, Fia switches modes once more, back to firing her main gun. She loads a round of plasma as well, aiming for the group of Regults 10-12 - no point in letting them get away to fight another day.

 

[Sherwood]

Fia's plasma shell comes flying out and explodes, filling the air with burning flames. The three pods are all damaged by the attack.

The four members of the Black Cats target Regult's 6 and 7, each pod getting targeted by two of the Logans. They are successful in taking them out of the fight.

The last three Pods continue to run, bobbing and weaving, trying to get away. They will soon be out of range unless they are stopped.

[AldarisLordOfLight]

Adrian took a deep breath, his eyes and scanners tracking the three idiots that dared attack them. His grip on the controls were tight, his anger palpable still. "If I miss this shot, I'm seriously going to file a complaint and a request for a better tank. Fuck that, I'm still gonna ask for a better tank than this." Without another word, he fired his Myrmidon's main weapon in a double burst. It's intended target, a Regult-10.

 

[Sherwood]

Adrian's shot manages to penetrate deep into the remaining armor, causing it to fall over and crash in flames.

Shifting out the battlepod again Heinrich rose the weapon to firing position once more."Acknowledged, now go!" the man fired a burst upon regult 11.
