[X] Plan Well let's kill them v2
-[X] Tacit moves 6 units towards the Kaiju and then holds a charge at Flugel for when it gets within 9 units
-[X] Phenom walks 6 units towards Flugel
-[X] Jagdhund shoots Flugel with the Dolch
-[X] Air force bravely advances away from the Kaiju
As the air force continues to retreat, Tacit, Phenom, and the MICHAEL forces close in from both sides-- the latter's aircraft holding position while the tanks catch up with them. Tacit's muscle strands tense, ready to discharge and send the jaeger into a stampeding rush if the smaller kaiju comes near.
Jagdhund, however, has other plans. Dumping reactor charge into her shoulder cannon, the jaeger takes aim, planning to disable Flugel once and for all. As the hum builds to its full level, she taps the firing stud.
"Disable" is an understatement.
Hit to L. Leg! Minor Wound!
SE-27-013 "Flugel" Defeated!
Before Flugel can turn to adjust the facing of her shield, the boiling blast of plasma smashes into her side, liquefying armour and flesh as it tears its way through her hind leg. Pushed beyond her limits, the Cat II is blown sideways, smacking into Euphonium with a breathless squeak before she simply topples over.
For its part, the Category IV-- despite lacking any facial features besides its obscenely wide grin, jutting brow, and massive chin-- is looking utterly out of its depth, and the loss of its second teammate isn't helping.
Time to go.
Cutting Losses:
Flipping its shoulder fins down under its armour, Euphonium backs up, and slides its tail underneath Alto. The Cat II squawks in surprise, as her teammate stands, flaring open their tail array to shove the smaller kaiju onto its back. Euphonium turns around slowly, giving enough time for Alto to get a little purchase on its flattened dorsal surface, before shoving off. As before, it's not a graceful action in the slightest-- Euphonium
throws its body into a thunderous gallop, charging a line across the city in almost the opposite direction its Siege Cannon had fired, if a bit more southward. Given the heading of the Outpost forces, it doesn't
seem like it's heading in that direction-- just away from the other forces.
Congratulations, you're starting to make kaiju run away rather than face you guys. Though I suppose that's partially my fault, since I keep putting some sort of familial-esque bond between cohesive squads like these guys.
PPDC:
- Tacit is 15 from the kaiju.
- Jagdhund is 29 from the kaiju.
- Phenom is 13 from the kaiju.
- Attack Helis ~39 from kaiju, 124 from Outpost, spread out.
- Scouts and Airplanes 50 from kaiju, 135 from Outpost, spread out.
KRAUN:
- MICHAEL ground defense units 44 from Outpost (38 from kaiju).
- MICHAEL scouts 60 from Outpost (22 from kaiju).
Anteverse:
- Euphonium and Alto are 83 units from the Outpost, heading south-southeast.
- Flugel is dead, and the world is all the emptier for it.
- Euphonium's decided to leg it, and is bringing Alto along for the ride.
