Shaun fired a salvo of rockets at the mechs. Two were destroyed. The enemy mechs fired back. Shaun's mech was struck in the chestplate, a piece of shrapnel flew through the cockpit, hitting Shaun in the arm.
|
"Sir!" Ava called over the intercom, "They are all coming from the same point. I think we should call aerial support" Ava suggested before firing back, destroying the mech that had just landed a hit on Shaun. Ava did not realize he was hit himself right away, until she saw a bit of blood on his arm. "Are you alright sir?" Ava asked a bit worried.
|
Shaun gritted his teeth. "I'll be fine. calling in support." Shaun radioed the supersub for an air strike. The sub launched a barrage of missles. Each one came falling down rom the sky, blowing the eney mechs to pieces.
|
Ava watched the air strike. What she was sure to be a body part hit the window of her mech. She slouched a bit. "That is gross..." She said to herself looking at her radar.
|
Shaun looked out and saw one mech left. He opened up his chestplate and fired his plasma cannon. The enemy mech was blasted in half. Shaun radioed the the squad on the other island, and they were also succesful. The Supersun radioed in and said the empire troops were retreating.
|
Ava listened and breathed out a sigh or relief. They were successful today. She could only hope tomorrow would be the same outcome. Ava leaned back in her seat, waiting to be taken back to the carrier.[
|
The helicarrier came and took them back to th sub. Shaun was rushed to the med room to fix up his arm.
|
Ava watched as they rushed Shaun to the medic room. She had not realized it was that bad. Her worry grew. Ava went around her normal duties. Getting changed and washed up, but also handling the men while Shaun was being taken care of. After a while Ava went down to the med room. Finding Shaun sleeping. The Doctor briefed her on what had happened and the usual stuff when it came to injuries. She pulled a chair up and read to herself. Waiting for him to come to.
|
Shaun woke up, still feeling the after affects from the pain killers. He looked over and saw Ava sitting by him. He looked up and smiled. "So, how bad is it?" he asked.
|
Ava finished her sentence before marking and closing the book. "The Doctor says it cut the vital vain in your arm. They were able to stop the bleeding and sew it back up. I think they want to keep you over night though. Just to watch you." Ava said lifting the blanket a bit to see the bandages. She had a pretty calm composer as she lowered the blanket back down. "You have had worse Sir" She said with a smile.
|
"You are right about that" Shaun layed his head back against the pillow. "The empire did put up a tough fight, I'll give them that."
|
"They did. Especially if they were able to land a hit on the Great Shaun Worthington" Ava said with a smile. She brought her hand up to brush some hair out of his face. 'Can i get you anything?"
|
A smile came over Shaun's face. "No thanks, I'm good. We should all probably get some rest. Something tells me this isn't over yet." Shaun reached up and grabbed took Ava by the hand reasureingly.
|
"Probably not. They will not like the loss. I know we never do..." Ava said as he took her hand. She squeezed his as she got up. Thinking about how she would sleep that night. That women last night was just so loud. "I'll come visit tomorrow if your not allowed to leave" Ava told him. They may or may not keep him.
|
Shaun spent the night in the med room. The next morning, He was medicaly cleared. He meet up with the rest of his squad in the mess hall and gave them the news. "Everyone, listen up. We are going back to the islands for one more day of recon and defense." Shaun sat across from Ava.
|
Ava listened to the small groins around her. It was funny how the men reacted to orders. They did a great job though. Ava finished her meal just as Shaun sat down. She flashed him a smile before getting up to leave. Not in the mood to talk today.
|
Shaun finished his breakfast and went to change to change into his flight suit. He met up with the rest of his crew on the flight deck. "Ok everyone. Were just doing recon today. After the ass kicking we gave empire yesterday, we shouldn't be expecting any conflict."
|
Ava stood in line. Among the men listening. "Yes Sir" She said along with the others. She climbed into her mech and waiting to be lifted to the islands again.
|
Shaun boarded his mech, and the helicarrier picked them up and flew them to the islands. Shaun and Ava were dropped off at the same island as the day before. Shaun radioed Ava. "Alright Ava, let's scan the horizon and see if there will be a fight today."
|
She yawned as he gave her the command. She looked to her radar. Seeing nothing. It flickered though. Telling her the mech was acting up. Or at least starting to. "I see nothing yet Sir" she told Shaun.
|
Shaun scanned the horizon for hours. Suddenly, he picked up four empire helicarriers approaching from the north.
|
Ava had leaned back in her seat. Tired from a long night of not being able to sleep. The damn women would have died last night if Ava couldn't control herself. She did though. The radar beeped as it picked up a the helicarriers. Ava leaned up. Counting to four. They came over the horizon, the mechs firing at them before they even landed.
|
"Evasive manuvers!" Shaun moved his mech, dodging the enemy fire. He launched his long rang missles at the helicarriers, bringing down one.
|
Ava slid the opposite way of Shaun. Missing enemy fire completely. She fired back using a few of the larger back missiles. Three of them missed ,but she took two enemies out. Leaving a big guy for last.
|
A couple of the small mechs landed and charged. Shaun took out his chainsaw sword and cut them down. He then used his 105mm cannon to snipe the engines on one of the helicarriers. It went crashing into the ocean.
