In this fashion, she kept pace with the trucks, which weren’t moving slowly but weren’t going full-bore either, likely because of the condition of the roads.
Oh yeah, Brockton Bay roads aren’t exactly Formula 1 tracks these days.
It was five minutes before trouble arrived.
It was Menja that made the first move, stampeding out of a nearby alleyway, standing at a height of twenty feet tall. She drove her spear into the engine block of the lead truck, stepped in front of the vehicle and wrenched her weapon to tip the truck over and arrest its forward momentum.
Who knows whether Menja thinks this is a supply truck or a Coil vehicle. Either way, she has reason to attack it.
The truck immediately behind tried to stop, but the flooded pavement made it impossible to get enough traction. It skidded and collided into the back of the foremost truck.
Ouch.
Miss Militia was climbing up out of the lead truck’s passenger door in an instant, hefting a grenade launcher to blast Menja three times in quick succession.
Hiya! Supply vehicles it is, unless Hannah neglected to tell us something fairly important in her Interlude. 😛
The giantess stumbled back, raised her shield – her sister’s shield – to block a fourth shot.
I guess that’s her way of preserving her sister’s memory.
Fenja did die, right? She wasn’t just “down”, she was “deceased”…? *checks* Yeah, 8.4, first person to get both “down” and “deceased”.
Hookwolf, Stormtiger, and Cricket all joined the fray, followed by their foot soldiers. On the PRT’s side, the trucks emptied of PRT troops and one more cape, Assault.
Aaand it’s officially a brawl.
They mobilized to defend, and the noise of gunfire rang through the night air.
Here we go.
