THE FUGITIVES

BY: Deathstrike

Victor surged forward and grabbed Jason's Locust. "Jason! Jason!!" he screamed into the comlink. Suddenly, the escape hatch in the head burst open and Jason scrambled out. Now Vic knew why Jason hadn't responded, his helmet and mike were mangled. The Phoenix Hawk scooped up Storm and took off again. His rear display showed several light mechs right behind him. Lasers and missiles began to whiz past the running mech. Suddenly, a loud voice boomed through Victors helmet. "JUMP VICTOR!!!" he tore through a thick bunch of trees, saw Edward's Battlemaster in front of him, and socked the jump button. His mech roared into the sky as the Kurita's came up behind him: right into Edwards' sights. Lasers and particle beams turned the world red, and from his airborn position Victor saw the Drac mechs get slaughtered by Edwards and a Warhammer from someone else's lance. He looked back the way they had come. He didn't see any more enemy mechs coming from the factory, which was an inferno. To his right he saw some heavy action between the Suns and some Kurita pursuers. Nothing he could do about it now though. He landed in a clearing behind Edwards and told him about the fight going on about 400 meters to the right. Edwards looked around at what he had and decided to go. The Battlemaster, a Warhammer, the Phoenix Hawk, 2 Stingers, and a wounded Hunchback moved toward the fight. Farrow didn't know what to do; her mech was in no shape for combat. "Fuck it" she thought, and brought up the rear.
