Author: Well that dream didn't go too well, and I highly doubt that many will survive Meria's fury for long. This should be interesting!
"Now!" Meria whispered over her comm. System. The small band of Warmechs leaped out of their hiding spots, surprising the enemy forces greatly. The Dark Star warriors numbered a mere 10, and the enemy 'Mech coalition forces numbered around 50 at least. "YOU WANT TO TAK EME FROM THE BEST DREAM I HAVE EVER HAD? I AM GONNA TEAR YOU ALL APART, LIMB BY LIMB!" Meria yelled, her grip on her joysticks tightening greatly.
It was almost like her Warmech and all those around her felt her undeniable anger. hundreds of missiles burst forth at once, barreling into those unfortunate enough to get in their path of chaos and destruction. Meria shot her PPCs and Large Pulse lasers with reckless abandon, not caring about the dangerous levels of heat that her weapons generated. After three shot they had already created enough heat to destroy a Battlemech, but the Warmechs were all designed so that the pilot would not have to worry about heat levels.
Dodging this way and that using the jump jets on his Stormcrow, Trolec Verrtsi simply laughed as he watched Alex continue hurtling forth missiles and PPC shots. "Can't touch me little boy!" he said through his laughter.
"Wanna bet jackass?" Alex responded, switching to a weapon he himself invented, the Cluster Rockets. He switched to fire group two, which would shoot all his cluster rocket launchers at once. "Hey Trolec, Catch!" he yelled, smashing his entire fist on the trigger, making one of his fingers crack loudly. A deafening noise filled the area as the rockets took their freedom from the shoulder-mounted batteries. A second after they had been released, and a second before Trolec would hit his jump jets, the missiles all split loudly into ten more, which split into three more each. All anyone could do was watch as the hundreds of missiles screamed towards Trolec and his Stormcrow, knowing all to well that anything Alex hit with one of those rockets was instant wreckage.
With a blinding flash and a boom that shook the entire plains, the Cluster Rockets slammed hard into the Stormcrow's head, each one leaving tiny explosives imbedded within the twisting metal, creating small grenade-like explosions throughout the 'Mech. Several Coalition Mechwarriors screamed in terror and tried to flee. The base defenses however, mainly the capitol ship sized Cluster Rocket batteries, obliterated the cowards in seconds of crossing their minimal attack range. Many more screams and explosions followed, and the foes to the south were obliterated completely.
Meria slammed Puppy's hand hard into the head of a nearby Nova, taking it clean off. The Warmech then did something that no Battlemech could ever possibly do: It got down on all fours, just like an actual dog, and much like a mother wolf protecting her cubs, it sprinted forwards, tearing apart any Battlemechs and Elementals that dared to come anywhere near the complex. The Wolf continued this insane form of combat for nearly an hour, until the Coalition got vast reinforcements.
"If that's the way you wanna play, then so be it! SAYONARA SHITHEADS!" she yelled, the back of the Wolf opening up wide, revealing ten LRM40 missile batteries, all loaded with new rockets, ones that are designed to create a small nuclear explosion, little more then the blast of a grenade. They was made to make many nuke-type explosions. As soon as they saw this, at least thirty reinforcements turned around and ran away at full speed, some using jump jets to propel themselves even farther. None of it helped however. The LRM40 missiles each locked on to a different target, their increased power and larger blast radius making for potent weapons indeed.
The missiles seemed tog et jammed and all the opposing warriors laughed, at least, until they noticed the Dark Star warriors laughing as well. The Coalition forces' laughter then became screams of pain and terror as the missiles burst forth from the back of Wolf, screaming as they all careened towards their destinies. Each one pounded into a Battlemech, the Firemoths getting destroyed from the initial blast. Explosion echoed loudly and angrily across the rocky fields, so loud they even reached the ears of Alex Kerios and his band of defenders.
Laughing, Meria brought Wolf back to its bipedal form, the hatches on her back closing quietly. As the smoke cleared, the clan realized that this would be a very messy war. Only one Coalition member who was involved in that raid survived, and only because of sheer luck, which he will admit.
