Vatman didn't said a word. Instead, he locked on the location of the fallen soldiers and swiftly removed the barrel extension/projectile accelerator of his rifle. Cascabel was now ready for CQB. -Let's see if this thing works as advertised. Said Williams, mostly to himself, while activating his jump jet -.Vatman, moving in! Stand by for danger close awesomeness!
The microjets roared as the flew towards the battlefield. It wasn't that far away, half a click at best, but with his speed, it shouldn't take more than a ten to fifteen seconds. He was closing in fast, way too fast. Braking conventionally was not an option, so he had to use an unfortunate soldier of the king as a cushion. Will didn't even look at his victim before drawing his now full auto rifle. Hot supersonic projectiles pierced the remaining enemies, tearing them apart.
-All clear, Hoss! Or well..at least back here.
Just as he finished his sentence, something violently went off and threw him and the remaining AIT a good ten meters back. Luckily their armor was enough to handle the kinetic energy of the blast. Or most of it.
-Ow...I think I broke a rib...or all of them...damn...Oooh no you don't!
Before he could even realize what was happening, an young boy, most likely in his late teens had his chest perforated by a deadly salvo provided by Cascabel. Williams caught his gaze as the kid was falling to his knees, desperately trying to apply pressure to his wounds. Sadly, he didn't have enough hands. For a brief moment, Vatman froze. His brain fired up like mad. He had just took the life of a child. A child that most likely has family and has never gotten in bed with a woman. And infant that had his chance at life taken away just like that. A child that most likely was here because he had no other choice.Wrong place, wrong time. The hand of a fellow AIT on his shoulder brought him back to reality.
-Right...the mission. Dec! We're clear here, no casualties, what's our next move, hoss?
