[MechWarrior 5]: After the Republic

   There was a tremor as the Battlemaster fell to the ground, the plasteel canopy shattering under the force of the impact. Smoke billowed from the machine. McLaren quickly moved his Zeus into a covering position, laying down another hail of heavy fire into the Vulture. LRMS smashed into his machine, sending vibrations through the massive body, but the machien stayed upright.
   
   The Vulture's torso detonated in a tremendous flash that sent the attached arm spiraling away like a leaf in the wind. The air was filled with the tell-tale whine of gauss slugs as the three hovertanks reached firing position. The pilot ejected from the machine as it toppled to its side wreathed in flames.
   
   Peter shouted incoherently, blasting away with his gauss at any of the clan mechs still standing, his unit having broken the Brubaker formation to close with the clanners. With support, the Masakari is a terrifying machine, but alone it is not such a dark foe. Heat shimmered off of the machine as its heat sinks tried to keep it within operating temperatures. Voss sidestepped a volley of lightning bolts and lasers, responding with a blast from his LBX autocannon. The weapon did little damage to the massive machine, but it drew its attention.
   
   The Cavalier troopers charged the machine, satchel charges ready. Several scaled the legs as the monster turned, and fired again, shattering armor plate off of the Marauder II, and destroying the autocannon. Voss cursed, and discharged the PPCs, one ripped a furrow of molten steel in the side of the machine, the other going wide. One of the cavalier troopers hooked a claw in the still glowing steel plate, and swung his satchel charge into the interior of the clan mech.
   
   The trooper bailed off as the charge detonated, releasing a cloud of superheated gas. The machine shuddered as the coolant system was compromised. Within a few seconds, the heat shimmer from the mech grew more increased, and Voss had to stiffle a laugh as the massive Masakari came to a dead stop, the reactor shut-down sequence initiated by excessive heat.

   The Masakari stumbled about before another trooper clambered up and launched a rocket propelled satchel charge into the mech's hip. The leg blew off at the femur and the Masakari balanced for a second hopping madly then fell face forward. Armor and metal screamed as it smashed into the rocky desert floor.
   
   Another set of power ups came on at the edge of Aldan's radar, another Falcon mech star with a sorty of hovercraft including Harrassers and SM1 Tank Destroyers, and Elemetnals. Three Javeline LRM Launchers captured from militia storage rolled into LRM range to. From nearly a kilometer away they lanched scores of missles. That scattered the Cavalier infantry and pockmarked the battlefield, but lacked experiance.
   
   "Careful more Clanner's coming in, looks like the rest of their mechs. I count a medium star plus four heavy class mechs moving. Look like a star of two Novas and three Black Lanners. The havy mix is a Cauldron-Born, Mad Cat, Loki, and Thor. Watch yourself." Aldan spiraled off two ERPPCs at one of the LRM launchers which went up in a brillant explosion of fire.
