Broken hunger

I would love to have an advantage, probably I even need one, but all my training, all my preparation has taught you one thing:

honor

The fact that skar has lost it, makes you more adamant maintaining yours.

Skar stays with his communication link muted.

The combat zone is delimited by several strong energy fields and energy barriers that protect people inside and avoid any of the duelists abandon it before the time has come for any of you.

The red signal for starting appears in your comlink.

He stays still, fiercely holding up in a defensive stance and with the electric shield fully activated that way he is his own fortress, and with the extra energy layer defence in his lion's hull, even if you launch a tactical nuke, you are not confident about being able to surpass the hull; Finally, If you go on a tactical nuke rampage that will end with your ass exposed to a counterstrike of his shotgun.

Shit, I have to do something.

You decide to follow the less glamorous, yet most sensible option: Wear manoeuvres.

You use your far superior speed and dexterity, to starting to play a deathly mouse vs cat game.

You use the thrusters placed on all your hull to fly top speed while toying with your inertia as a way to further enhance your speed, you are like a lightning bolt dancing around him, taunting him to move or abandon his ironclad defence. Meanwhile, with the assistance of your computational assistance, you are launching all the nasty traps and nanoparticles grenades you have which will allow you to move safely but to him, the nanites will try to tear apart his hull and any energy barrier he is wielding.

Fuck, This is not sufficient to really damage his suit. I have to go bold or go home." You say preparing your antimatter engine to charge with your vibroblade against the damn tortoise lion in the other side of the battlefield:

"YOU WILL PAY FOR. ALL THIS, Coward!!"

"Coward?!!, You don't really know how this works. You barely had started your own career, Silverman. Now, probably you never will." There is a sour tone in his baritone voice., a fatalism. Well, you chuckle while thinking that whatever it happens he will be dead tomorrow; In fact, I will suffering the same fate.

You push the throttle forward, while pilot your Pantera to glide effortlessly at top speed; you check that your blade fully charged and prepared for the clash with the mighty fortress Skar is with his almost perfect defence.

Time stands still as you feel like your heart is about to fall from your chest. You focus on breathing and keeping the calm, as you have been taught when you were a small Cougar. This will hurt you because you have barely maintained your inertia shield that protects your body from high impact and high deceleration.
However, I hope that this extra force will help me going through his defence. You think optimistically.

Then the inevitable happens as the powerful crash causes an immense kinetic energy Tsunami through the battlefield and even moving the nearby ships, Skar serenely tries to keep his stance as the true warrior he once was. Your vibroblade fiercely collisions against the shield launching Skar golden mecha several hundred of metres; luckily, inside one of the nanobots swarms of baits, you installed earlier.

However, you aren't unharmed either, as you feel the iron of your own blood through your wetsuit.

You watch your computer screen, The mecha is okay, but the black matter engine is burning energy like crazy you have to make this fight, end soon or you will end in problems; however, that's not the worst thing. Your medical sensors determine you have several internal injured and bleeding. For now, the meds incorporated to the suit and your nanites will fix the issue but you can't have another crash like this one.

Now that he is entangled, you move as faster as your damaged body allows you, close to point black range; Even, if you aren't the best shooter in the Feline star fleet, at this range you have guaranteed hits. As soon as you can, your pitch-black mecha launches all the nukes at trying to focus your targeting system on his engine and the helmet. The weakest spots of Lion's mechas.

However, he doesn't surrender even trapped and hurt, he launches a furious attack with his potent energy shotgun.

Your mecha is far more agile and is designed to provide additional evading fire tactics but in your physical state, you receive some good hits that make you feel like about to die.

Silence...

There is no more shotgun fire or energy coming from The hot lion.

You eagerly awaiting the results of your computer scanners.

CONFIRMED TARGET ELIMINATED


"FUCK YOU!!! I DID IT!!" Even if you are about to perish in the hands of your enemies. You have shown to the world that you are a proud Cougar warrior. And you won't change that for anything else.

You have 1 choice:
