Description

Already familiar with the controls, Farro punched the OverBoost switch and roared as AC Knightmare's OB thrusters screamed to life, propelling the massive war machine forward at 600+ miles per hour, the stage bursting into flames behind him (thankfully Emily had long since retreated outside). Still laughing amongst themselves, the cocky terrorists didn't notice the massive shape hurdling towards them. Calling on his old melee training, Farro deftly whipped Knightmare through the air and landed a crushing OB-powered kick to the chest of one of the Zabats. The machine buckled and was launched through the roof, where it exploded violently. To be expected, the Quietus Star pilots stopped laughing. Before they could raise their weapons in alarm, Knightmare dropped out of the air on top of one of the Zabats, feet shearing off its arms and the old mech's massive cod plate staving-in the Zabat's head. The crippled mech stumbled backwards and desperately fired its shoulder cannons, but a bemused Farro opened up on the terrorist with Knightmare's flamethrower. As the screaming man baked to death within his own cockpit, the remaining five pilots opened fire. To their horror, their advanced weaponry merely burned off sections of the ancient heavy mech?s paint job. Laughing at their confused cries, Farro boost-strafed circles around their Zabats, raising Knightmare?s bazooka and firing off three slugs in quick succession at the Zabat closest to him. To the terrorist?s even greater horror, the ancient weaponry had the opposite effect that theirs had, and the doomed pilot screamed in terror as his machine was blown apart. The Quietus Star pilots had been taught to never fear death, but their commander?s teachings were in vain. They were terrified. What remained of the crowd had long since stopped trying to escape, and instead ooooh?d and ahhhh?d at the massive spectacle unfolding before their eyes. Thankfully ?nobody important? had died, and they were content to watch their attackers die. The four remaining Zabats desperately tried to inflict more damage on the menacing heavy mech, but it was of course in vain. Farro armed Knightmare?s flamethrower once again and razed two of the Zabats with fire, the old weapon screaming like an angry dragon. Their hulls burning red with heat, the Zabats activated their own heavy boosters and desperately tried to retreat through the ruined roof. Ignoring the harmless fire from the other two Zabats, Farro allowed the two burning mechs to rise high into the air before calmly unfurling the massive grenade cannon on Knightmare?s back. One grenade was all it took, and the rapidly shrinking mechs disintegrated in a massive fireworks-like explosion, with the crowd cheering from below. Growing angry at being mocked, one of the two remaining Zabats took aim at the crowd, but before he could fire a single shot his mech crumpled beneath a colossal OB-powered tackle. Flipping its weapons back onto its arms, Farro unleashed a mad volley of massive OB-powered punches on the hapless machine below him until it was nearly sheet metal. Turning his attention back on the remaining, terrified pilot, Farro casually fired another grenade from his back and obliterated him soundly. The crowd went wild, and Farro basked in his amazing victory. He had just swept the floor with seven second-generation Zabats using a millennia-old human war machine. Powering what would become HIS mech down, Farro climbed down Knightmare?s scorched left leg and was instantly hugged by his wife. Looking Emily in the eye, Farro grinned devilishly. ?So, about that reward?? In response Emily merely kissed her husband deeply, and the two embraced amongst a backdrop of a roaring crowd, burning wreckage, approaching Combine death-squads (who were way too late to the party) and a totally awesome half-painted war machine. It was the most epic thing anyone there had ever seen.
