Chapter One Hundred and Seventy-Nine point five: Nemome Impune Lacessit
Major MacIntosh casually sidestepped a PPC from Joshua Wolf's Black Knight and then turned to face the enemy Annihilatorapproaching from the side. Twitching his twin sticks to the left and squeezing the triggers, Macintosh's Gauss Rifle blew open a hole in the side of the enemy 100-ton war machine which was followed by a flurry of SRMs. Then, hitting his jump jets, MacIntosh floated out of the way of yet another PPC from Wolf while he began systematically shredding the enemy Assault mech with his trio of ER medium lasers.
"Kerensky, would ye kindly take care of this one for me?" MacIntosh asked as he turned and moved away from the Annihilator to deal with a Marauder that had been worrying one of his lancemates.
"Solid copy lead," David replied as he and his Fiance began to engage the enemy assault mech. "We'll take care of it for you."
The Northwind Native didn't respond at first, and when he chanced a glance at what MacIntosh was doing he almost stopped pouring fire into the Annihilator.
The Major and his Lancemate in an Atlaswere ripping the Marauder to shreds with their mech's hands while also avoiding fire from some of the other war machines.
"Annihilator is down, Major," Elsa spoke up as she finished off the heavier mech. "We're proceeding to engage other targets as the opportunity presents itself."
"Good, make sure that you leave Wolf for last," MacIntosh said as he once again triggered his jump jets. The Highlanderspun rapidly and the Highlander's knee came up and struck an enemy Grasshopper. The lighter machine shuddered from the hit while carving away at MacIntosh's Highlander with its medium lasers before being forced to stop due to a reactor breach caused by one of Natasha's Marauders.
"Alright," MacIntosh finally spoke up on the open comms channels. "I have time to deal with ye now." the massive olive drab Highlander turned to face Joshua Wolf's Black Knight and instead of stopping simply engaged its jump jets again before a gauss round left the chamber of the massive gauss rifle. Moving rapidly over the battlefield and impacting the head of Joshua Wolf's mech. The heavy mech continued running until it no longer received input from the user, causing the Black Knight to bury itself in the side of the small hill.
"Is Wolf dead?" David asked as he moved from enemy mech to enemy mech, making sure that each one was down for the count.
"Nay, he's a bit rattled though," MacIntosh chuckled. "We'll have to dig him out and get him some medical attention, but he should be fine after that."
"I'll get the salvage and recovery teams out," David said while making his Crockettshrug. "I guess the Black Watch really does live up to the hype."
"No one Provokes me with Impunity," was the only response that MacIntosh gave as they surveyed the wreckage of the battlefield.
Author's Note: Here's the battle that occurred while the rest of the invasion force was dealing with the standard forces. I wanted to leave a lot of it to your imagination without getting super critical in the details. I have this listed as a half chapter as a result of the length as well.
