[color=gold][h1]Cassius Makarov[/h1][/color]

The lead up to the battle seemed to drag on and on, and Cassius couldn’t tell if it was actually taking a long time or if it was just nerves. The thought of battle was invigorating. He could feel his blood pumping all around his body. His heart was beating out of his chest and he could hardly stop himself shaking. But as the doors began to unlock, the nerves suddenly quietened and he heard a voice over the communication systems.

[color=tomato]“Good to meet you Leon, my name is Cassius. I’ll cover you guys from above, so I'll let you know if you are getting flanked.”[/color] He said as he switched on his comm systems. He chose to omit the visual link as he was pretty sure that his nerves would be too obvious if they could see his face. He did some final checks before the doors suddenly slid open in front of him. In an instant, the Angel charged forward and jumped out the door. It suddenly shot up into the sky as quickly as it could and began to survey the area. There was plenty of cover and a nice amount of distance between the sides. The cover would make his job a little harder, but not impossible. As he looked down the scope of his rifle, he saw that the enemy had split up. There was a unit taking to the sky, a unit that seemed to be separating from the group, and two that were pushing forward. 

[color=tomato]“They seem to know what they are doing…”[/color] Cassius muttered to himself. 

[color=tomato]“There seems to be someone coming around on your right, and two in the middle. I’ll try to take care of the one that went airborne”[/color] He said reported to the others as he aimed at the one that had taken to the air. The mech seemed like they weren’t built for use in the air much due to their hefty design, but their armour was an issue. But, this one wasn’t in cover. Pretty hard to take cover while you are airborne, you either had to be quick, or invisible. Cassius took a deep breath before he aimed for the joints at the shoulder. They seemed to be a spot that was lacking in the overall armour, so he decided there was the place to aim for. He switched to an explosive round, and lined up a shot on the arm that was holding an assault rifle

[color=tomato]“One shot is all it takes… Carefully aim… and breath…”[/color] He muttered as he let out a deep breath before pulling the trigger and firing a shot. The loud bang of the gun was a lot louder than Cassius remembered, it seemed like the silencer on the rifle had degraded. He would have to get a new one made, but he didn’t have time to think about that now. His plan was to cloak and move away, but he needed to wait for the right time. His cloaking device wasn’t the finished model, as his mech was only a prototype. It would only last a few seconds before it would have to recharge, so for now he simply observed to see whether his shot had hit its mark.
