Chuck smiled at Freya, happy to see her uninjured as finished making a pancake of the man who had been attacking her. Before he could do more than ask if she was okay, he heard Wilk giving them new orders to cover the team moving towards the command compound. The team began moving towards the command compound. Wilk had jumped in the CAV and was using the heavy caliber machine gun in the back to support Skye’s position. He had no trouble covering their advance. Most of the PLA had been routed and was running away from them. The ones still brave enough to try were easy pickings for Chuck with his rifle and marksman skill. He didn’t waste time and aimed for their heads. Kill shots dropped them every time. He didn’t stop running to keep up with the others as he switched out his empty magazine for a full one. Lucille was once again hanging in her sheath on the back of his armor out of the way as she ran and gunned along with the team. They had joined up with Skye and were making their way towards the command bunker when the two huge mechs came out of a hanger towards them. Skye ordered them to take care of whatever was coming towards them, obviously focused on the objective in front of her and refused to be distracted or deterred. Chuck spoke into his comms. [color=8dc73f]“Boomer acknowledges moving to intercept the unknown targets.” [/color] Chuck followed Samantha as part of the team broke off to engage with the large targets. As they got closer, Chuck’s HUD display began to show the silhouette of the mechs and were analyzing the targets. Samantha warned them that she thought they had a trophy system. Trophy systems would intercept bullets and missiles pulling them off course or cause them to ricochet. Samantha’s warning would help them avoid being hit by their own weapons. As he looked over the battle ground, he noticed that Athena had engaged Laura who had been using a flamethrower to try and hit her. Ingwe was protecting her and they were working as a team as Samantha tried to sneak behind Laura and hit her from behind. Ingwe used his shield to bash into Samantha’s mech pushing it back. Chuck could tell that Samantha’s mech could not go toe to toe with Ingwe on strength. Her mech was designed for ranged combat support. The armor and defenses on Ingwe and Laura’s mechs were strong against ranged attacks. He could see her logic in going for close quarters fighting. Chuck let his rifle drop to hang on its tactical sling as he pulled Lucille from her sheath. Chuck let out a rough battle cry as he leaped into the fray. He swung Lucille towards the knee joint on Ingwe’s mech. The heavy reinforced mech withstood the blow even as a horrific metallic clang and crunch sounded out as the two impacted. The joint was dented but still functional. He looked up at the mech that was over twice as tall as him. Chuck was 7 feet and ten inches tall. He was tall even for a giant. He was the perfect height to put all his strength behind the blow on the knee joint. The blow did force Ingwe’s mech back a bit. Chuck’s own mighty strength was reinforced by his armor. Chuck had more speed and maneuverability than Ingwe had in the mech. Ingwe had more strength in the mech and height. Ingwe certainly had bigger weapons to call on than Chuck. Chuck growled up at Ingwe [color=8dc73f]“Haven’t you heard that no means no! Why don’t you pick on someone your size.”[/color] Leave it to Chuck to pick a fight with the giant in the big ass mech. Chuck followed up his swing on the knee joint with a backswing the other way. The knee joint gave a satisfying crunching noise causing it to lock up in a standing position. Ingwe responded by trying to shield bash Chuck like he did Samantha. Chuck laughed and ducked out of the way. He jumped up grabbing the edge of the shield with one hand. You could hear the servos whine in his armor as he pulled himself up using the edge of the shield. He swung Lucille one handed hitting the faceplate on the Ingwe’s mech. There was no damage as Ingwe responded by tilting his shield and pushed Chuck off of it. Chuck laughed as he landed on his feet, bending his knees to absorb the shock. Chuck: [color=8dc73f]“Getting slow in your old age.” [/color] Chuck targeted the mech’s head as he fired one of his missiles at Ingwe’s mech. The missile was pushed off target by the trophy system and exploded next to the mech’s head. He ducked, catching the edge of the missile’s fireball being so close. His armor’s plating and climate control system brushing off the fire. Chuck spoke into his comms. [color=8dc73f]“Trophy system confirmed Chaos.” [/color] Ingwe yelled out something in a language Chuck didn’t know. He swung his mech’s foot to kick Chuck. Chuck laughed as he rolled out of the way. [color=8dc73f]“Still too slow!” [/color]
