*** Part 5 ***Rina was shocked by the speed at which her mission was going to hell. The enemy had already managed to put two of her lance mates out of the fight and from the looks of it, they only managed to scratch him. The enemy seemed to have some new machinegun like lasers which proved not only more accurate but more lethal than what her mech usually carried. All things considered she knew that she had to get physical with this monster and fast or else she was sure as hell not going to make it to the next pay day.
After the last blast from its lasers the Phoenix Hawk seemed to pause. She wasted no time leaping her mech around and behind him. As soon as her mech hit the ground she leveled her cross hairs at its back and pulled the triggers. Her six light lasers stabbed out at the Hawks vulnerable back but failed to penetrate. She quickly threw her mechs leg back and then forward in a kick that unfortunately landed on the undamaged leg of the enemy.
Suddenly a familiar voice flooded her com link. “Rina Nakamira! It’s Jules! Jules Winfield! What the fuck are you doing working for the fuckers that killed Vincent!”
“Wha… Jules… Where… How… Who killed Vincent? What are you talking about?” She stuttered in response.
“The men in that villa atop Mount Huangshan assaulted our base and killed Vincent. They were aiming for us both but I was out in the field when they attacked!” Scooby shouted.
“Oh god, Vincent… Jules, I’m sorry, I didn’t know…” Tear came to her eyes as she thought of her lost friends, one of which was not gone forever. “I’m just here as hired muscle for some business meet. I didn’t know you guys were even alive… Jules look out!” As she said this missiles came slamming down into the Phoenix Hawk announcing the Dragon’s entrance to the fight.
