Magnet Man hurls all of the rail gun rounds, fusion blocks and mini-missiles that were caught in his magnetic field, at the tank at the front of the convoy.

He then turns to the incoming skelebots and raises all 20 of them off the ground and throws them into the mercenaries. All of this done with movements of his hands and arms.

As Braga calls for them to fall back, Magnet Man creates a forcefield with low MD (100) to cover the retreat.

Avery blasts the incoming volley out of the air with a single defensive missile. Then relocates.

Braga grabs White Moon, falling back with Magnet Man.

The leaping Titan Juicer manages to stay clear of the magnetically hurled skelebots and continues his pursuit. He is gaining... while the others were tripped, or stopped momentarily.

Seeing the giant juicer still coming despite Magnet Man's best attempts to dissuade him, Avery has Brun offer some dissuasion of her own in the form of a volley of high-speed armour-piercing missiles.  The sort of thing that tends to give one a bad day to be on the receiving end of....

Braga coughs as he drags the psi-stalker White Moon to safety. Moon is slowing down now... only one hand on the wound in his neck, the other dragging in the grass - his entire chest is drenched in blood; and the bleeding in his neck has slowed to a constant trickling, and bubbling. In the distance the tank recovers from the heavy explosion of their own ammo being used against them by Magnet Man.

Magent Man runs backwards awkwardly as he levitates the platoon of scorched skelebots towards the incoming mercenaries. In the not-to distance, a pack of four dog boys charges closer. At the tree line, the metal-man disappears into its' cover. The last mercenary to return to his feet after being tripped violently by Magnet Mans' force field is shredded by the distant gunfire of Caramon and Dalamar from their sniping position.

The titan juicer leaps right into the blast of AP missiles from the Lieutenant. There is an explosion and a loud "UGH!". The remaining Triax Power Armour will be upon Magnet Man in seconds...

(The 4 dog boys grouped together on the right, and the CS psychics - and now the titan juicer, and bike-mercenary are all incapacitated. 2 other Dog Boys charge in from north west.)

Magnet Man will make sure he has White Moon and Braga within the range of his magnetic field, then will magnetically hold the approaching triax power armour in place, holding him above the ground.

All the while he will keep his eye on the northwest waiting for the dog boys and the Metal Man to show their ugly mugs.

"You are no match for Magnet Man!" He yells out and chuckles. Then he raises his body force field, so that those are not his famous last words.

As Magnet Man and Braga approach the edge of the treeline - the dog boys can be heard barking.

"This way!" He calls out, as he drags White Moon into the forest several feet. He lays the body down, and brings up his Judgement Day Rifle again. The simvan moves to kneel by a tree, and takes aim across the field where the dog boys will be crossing shortly.

The tank can be heard coming closer to the treeline on the other side. It could be attempting to come through the forest, or preparing to come around it...

The Triax Super Trooper raises its' rifle and fires rapidly at Magnet Man.

Magnet Man will drop the skelebots he was levitating in exchange for a defense against the Super Troopers' incoming laser fire. After being hit once, Magnet Man rapidly levitates the power armour to the edge of his 30 foot reach and tosses the PA an additional 60 feet, landing the Super Trooper on its face.

The Coalition Mercenary made another successful shot on its way to the dirt.


It is at this moment where magnet man shows his inexperience as a warrior - or perhaps he was just dealing with more than he can handle. The skelebots he set down explode from more artillery-grenades coming from 3rd platoon. Other grenades land around the tank and further up the road near the other platoons. Braga opens fire as the 2 dog boys come around the bend - and they return fire. Magnet Man is nearly hit several times from their wild shooting. As he tried to weigh out his current options he notices one of the trees in the forest is moving towards him... horizontally and fast!

Magnet Man - you are being attacked by a 60 foot tree - thrown like a javelin. Roll what you need to. Naturally the Super Trooper is quick to return to his feet - and the Metal-skinned Soldier shows himself behind the flying tree.

Dalamar and Caramon can see the Tank stall, and noseplant into the dirt, knocking over several trees. The behicle is on fire, as the crew begins to bail out via an underbelly escape hatch. The two brothers make quick work of the fleeing crew from their cozy sniper positions.

More Dog Boys are on the way... the hover-engines are getting closer.

The forest giant smashing itself into kindling on Magnet Man's shields gave Avery an idea that the situation, despite all appearances from his fallback position, wasn't under control.

Cursing under his breath, he sent Brun back into the fray, targeting computers searching for hostiles as he broke cover.  He swiftly found a few, and just as swiftly made decisions as to how to deal with them.

And Brun unleashed a blistering barrage of ion blasts once more, streaking downfield to hammer the Super Trooper.

Braga drops into a prone position and returns fire at the speeding Dog Boys.

"Where is lieutenant!! Too many of them!! How are you Corporal? We may join White moon in peace soon..."

Magnet Man will crawl up, belly down from underneath the branches of the tree, "I'm fine." Magnet Man will use the tree as cover as he readies his TW rifle. Seeing the damage done by Avery's barrage, Magnet Man will respond to Braga's pessimism. "See sergeant, we're not completely doomed."

Avery's attack seems to destroy the left leg of The Super Trooper. It falls to one knee - it is now apparent that the missile launcher on it was completely destroyed, but the leg is intact and functioning.

The Power Armour turns to face the Lieutenant - then fires a volley of missiles from the other leg as Drake closes in. The CS mercenary aims his heavy rifle and fires a few shots towards Drake as he comes closer...

Magnet Man chooses to allow Drake to deal with the Triax PA - with the motion of one hand the bandolier of grenades across White Moons' chest is removed and sent towards the metal-skinned soldier. They slap against his face covering one eye - as the pins are removed. The mutant soldier stops his charge, and tries to pry the belt from his face to no avail. They detonate sending him into a tree ten feet behind him. He is then pummeled by the remains of the skelebots. But will he get back up?

Braga is reloading his rifle as fast as he can... the dog boys are closing in fast - unleashing a fury of lasers from their hovercycles.

Brun swiftly launches missiles from her arm launchers in an intercept attack on the volley launched in her direction.

Magnet Man will magnetically direct the closest oncoming hovercycle into the path of the second in hopes to clothesline the pilot of the second hovercycle.

If Metal Man gets up I will levitate him up and fire three times at the immobile target.

Magnet Mans' plan works perfectly as the second hovercycle crashed straight into the other. The DOg Boy pilot was launched into the other pilot and both flew through the air and crashed violently into the ground - they are both unmoving.

Avery misses his chance to drop the incoming missile volley - but recovers from the blast quickly showing signs of damage.


The Terror Trooper then opens fire with the laser rifle hitting Brun another two times in a burst.


Braga has reloaded and opens fire on the next incoming Dog Boys. The closest pilot is blasted from his hovercycle after a masterfully well-placed shot to the head from Bragas' rifle. In the southern group of Dog Boys - one is hit twice from the sniper positions, and drops off the side of his bike. The hovercycle slows to a stll and falls on its' side.

Metal Man returns to his feet quickly and cannot defend against Magnet Mans' attack.

Magnet Man continues to blast away at the defenseless man of metal. The owered soldier remains quiet while he is slowly executed... very slowly... in fact Magnet mans' attacks have merely scorched the metallic skin.

The Super Trooper to the side is on its hands and knees after taking a volley of missiles to its' leg. With its' right hand stretched out - it has been blasting at Avery with its' rifle as he comes closer. It pauses only to fire another volley of mini missiles - three missiles this time - and Avery responds quickly with a frag missile - successfully destroying the missiles before they reach his precious "Brun".

The dog boys do not recover from their crash. However two othe rdog boys take their place - also on hovercycles. Blasting away, and trying to avoid Braga's gunfire. Two more dog boys are within range - currently crossing the debris of skelebots.

"Corporal - you keep silver skin in air. I kill these dogs. Drake takes Armour. We will live this I think my friend."

Braga has found it in himself to calm down - and even suggest at humour with his last comment. But it only takes one look at White Moons' blood-soaked corpse to remind him this battle is no joke... and there were two dog boys Braga didn't mention in his short plan of upcoming events...

Amber telltales started to light on Brun's status screens as she continued to take damage under the Super Trooper's assault.  Coldly angry, Avery sent a return volley of mini-missiles downfield followed by a barrage of ion fire.

While holding Metal Man in the air, Magnet Man will levitate as much of the skelebot debris as he can as soon as the new dog boys are just in front of the debris.

Hopefully, this will distract the dog boys and break their concentration.

A volley of missiles from Avery slam into the Triax Super Trooper - sending him flying onto his back several feet behind his previous firing position. Before he can jump back to his feet - Avery follows up with several ion blasts - eventually putting holes in the main body of the armour... the super trooper is not getting back up...

From the west - 2 more Dog Boys speed past the two crashed bikes and dogs from Magnet Mans' magnetic attack. After dodging the debris they open fire again. The one furthest west is killed by two blasts to the chest and one to the face from the Simvan sharpshooter. Braga ducks away into cover to reload - leaving one CS hound to the west.

The entire pile of Skelebot debris rises off the ground as the two psi-hounds to the east pass by them. Both Dog Boys lose control and are knocked form their hovercycles. They recover themselves quickly and remain in prone positions - then open fire on Avery.

The Metal-Soldier remains suspended in the air - unable to defend himself - other than appearing to be completely invulnerable to damage...

Dalamar and Caramon are on their hovercycles - coming closer...

While Braga is reloading, and Magnet Man continues to blast away at this strange COalition wizard, the dog boy coming in from the west lines up his bike with Magnet Man - blasting the bikes lasers repeatedly.

Avery lays down a carpet of ion fire over the dog boys lying in prone. Incoming fire stops from their positions.

Braga finishes reloading and rolls back out - instantly planting two shots between the dog boys' eyes. The hound flips backwards to the dirt, and the bike loses control and tumbles towards Magnet Man for a hundred feet or so.

The Metal Man is all that remains...

Still maintaining his radio jamming, Drake clicks in Brun's exterior audio circuits.

"Corporal, keep that fellow around to use as a blunt instrument if we encounter more hovercycles," the Triax bot booms.  "Platoon, advance and provide support for the rest of the Company."  Brun begins stomping forward -- there's a tank out there that she has a score to settle with....

Magnet Man stops firing at the suspended soldier. Braga rolls to his back to face Magnet Man and share a sigh of relief, as Avery comes closer.

Second platoon arrives first, led by Sgt. Tyirrak. Followed closely by Anniyan the mega juicer and then the brodkil : Lord Osema, Klowkuh and Gendun. Behind them are Razgriz and Obidiah. There is no sign of Patulik (the fat brodkil) or the cyberknights : Jelme and Maitlyn.

Third platoon arrives moments later as Sgt. Braga stands to his feet. Xion is in the lead, followed by Silvermasque, Arven, Lotus, Mephisto, Van, and the massive Iron Juggernaut - Attila. There is no sign of Sgt. Quinn, Ulik, Seifer, or Jonas.
