Big Boom

"Get out of there!" Finick shouted into his headset. "You're gonna get yourself killed!"

His fellow Mechan operator, Visi, was more than just another fighter. She was his wife. He pressed his Mechan near its limits to scale the hill and attempted to give her cover fire. He locked his railgun into place and squeezed the trigger. It fired in rapid succession at the enormous Battle Carriers that were bearing down on their position as Visi ran her Mechan in the opposite direction, occasionally turning to fire her dual miniguns as well.

Finick's noticed the temperature on his railgun and stopped firing. "Hurry up! There's not much time left!"

He turned to run as she reached him and they both took off in a sprint inside their armored Mechans.

"Did you set the charge?" asked Finick.

The smile came into Visi's voice. "I think they'll have the surprise of their lives."
