That none of her shots landed was astonishing, but Hazel was nothing if not adaptable. The Commander's order to disengage pursuit was acknowledged, but the Landlions weren't outside her effective range yet. That was why the third sought to delay her. 

Commendable, worthy of respect, but he couldn't be allowed to succeed. 

His charge back towards her, coupled with her pursuit, brought them together very, very quickly. So quickly that Hazel shot over the top of his head. In such close quarters, evading the Landlion's fire was impossible even for her. But Homing Missiles weren't necessarily smart enough to maneuver around [i]each other[/i], and such close quarters meant that the combined volley from the desperate Landlion detonated [i]around[/i] them both more than they detonated [i]on[/i] her. The Gespenst warned her, for the first time, about the fire she was taking; its armor was tougher than any of her peers presently on the battlefield, but not invincible. It wouldn't need to hold for very long.

Passing overhead of the Landlion below, she took a deep breath and lined up her shots. Enhanced sensors feeding her the information she needed, and her senses leading the shot. One report from each weapon, right and left, towards the right and left Landlions. Even at this range, with their ally supposedly holding her back, she was confident in her aim. But her orders were to cease pursuit, so as soon as the shots were away she fired thrusters in reverse. Her Gespenst slowed and rotated, suspended upside-down facing the last Remnant.

The TT had been good to her, in their first sortie together. It was more dinged up than she really wanted, but the circumstances had been exceptional.

It hadn't been easy on her, either. Such high-G maneuvers were taxing, and utilizing the T-Link so much made her feel a headache coming on. But the engagement was about to be over. Only one target remained in her grasp, the one responsible for most of the damage the TT had received. And for that, he would pay. He had her attention.

A burst from her Railgun, and a second, and a third. The last of her munitions for the weapon. Perhaps slightly excessive, but the Landlion was unlikely to bother her again.
