Silent Assault™ (Chapter 4) By: New Vega (Later that day…)"Let's see what kind of missions are available…Protect radar part…destroy gun emplacements…Ah! Here's one. Recover stolen cargo." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Mission briefing: Provider: Kisiragi There is a band of thieves outside a cargo ship in the Monova desert. They intend to raid the ship and steal any salvageable cargo that wasn't destroyed in the crash. We need you to get in there and destroy the thieves. That is all. Good Luck. Number of MTs: 5 Skill level: B Choose your backup: 1.) Fighter Plane Squad (5) 2.) Chopper Squad (4) 3.) Backup MT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Sounds good. I accept, and I'll take a backup MT. Back to my AC again." Two minutes later…(Liz)"System engaged." "Open exit doors." "Opening exit gates…Opened." My AC flew out the gates and was locked on the Monova Desert Coordinates. Arriving within 15 minutes, I could see a group of MTs surrounding the cargo ship. (Liz) "Backup arriving." Just as she said that an AC carrier flew overhead and dropped a backup MT. (Backup MT pilot.)"Nice to meet you." While overboosting at the MTs I shot three energy shells at the 1st MT. It instantly exploded. The 2nd and 3rd MTs shot 3 missiles each trying to get a hit on me.Three of the missiles nailed my Backup. The 6th missile hit me in the core. "OOOH! Shit! (That is the one disadvantage to not wearing your core suit[Impact!].)"(A creepy unknown voice)"I've been waiting for you!" Just a second after that my backup MT burst into flames. (MT)"AAAH!" (Me)"What the hell is going on!" (Liz)"AC approaching…Name of AC: Berserk 5" (Berserk 5)"Ha Ha Ha!" I jumped to my left as he burst out of the cargo ship wall behind me. He caught the bottom of my AC's foot with his laser sword, sending me slamming into the sand. I tried to get up but he was already standing on top of my AC. I boosted out from under him and he lost balance. "How is he moving so fast?" That's when I noticed his back weapons. They were extra boosters along with his extensions. I flew as high as my boosters could carry me and then plummeted, firing off all of my Karasawa ammo. (Berserk 5)"IT'S NOT OVER! HE WILL FIN…YOU!" His AC collapsed to the sand and that's where it stayed. (Thief MT)"Retreat!"(Me) "Well, I don't get paid if I don't destroy you…" Once in firing stance, I ripped through all but 1 of the remaining MTs, whose leg was already severed. His MT fell to the ground. "Who do you work for?" (MT)"I work for…" BOOM! His MT erupts. When the MT burst into flame I caught a shimmer far off in the distance, then it was gone. (Kisaraki leader's voice) "That will be all, Raven. Good work." Who was that in the distance? That was all I could think.
