ABS FIESTA REDUX

[Gojira]

"[I will not let you die.] Now, as I was loving saying," Markus growls, "I'm sure Yui didn't mean to blow up that gas station full of civilians, with a manually targetted missile."
He fires his EML twice at Tempest.
"What your ejection seat tells me is that whether or not you get shot down, win or lose, you don't have to answer for any of this. You fear consequences for your actions."

: When I die, I'll be answering to the highest authority for my actions! And I already know what the verdict will be!

A burst missile goes off a kilometer and a half to your 8 o'clock, a blinding flash in your rear views followed a few seconds later by a wave of turbulence and deafening rumble.

[Gojira]

"Good. Then you know that you'll get sent straight to hell with the rest of us."
Markus fires his LCP twice at Tempest.

The quantity over quality angle clearly isn't working. Another burst missile goes off, this time to your nine o'clock. Tempest, now confident that your combat is occuring outside the burst missiles lethal range, breaks away from the jet trainer and levels his sights at you.
: Speak for yourself, traitor. I'll be fighting alongside Sabre and Caesar in the Golden Horde! Which means we'll get to keep killing scum like you again and again!

He grazes your right wing with the rotary autocannon, and is now flying directly at you. You are now at point blank.

[Gojira]

"Right, because killing people who are no longer able to fight is something I'm sure your gods would find honorable."
Markus fires both of his lasers again now that they're at point blank range.

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko smashes his kneeboard.

"That loving idiot!"

He watches the radar, waiting to see the victor, or if all of them are destroyed by the burst missiles.

Two hits on his left wing cause him to break off his attack instead of continuing to fire. He speeds past you and begins maneuvering for another engagement while the trainer up ahead veers away from the next bust detonation.

The trainee, currently gripped by fear, does not respond.

Tempest shakes you loose.

"[Snap out of it and open fire, trainee!]"

Continuing to shout gets you nowhere, but you do notice your EML has come back online.

[Gojira]

"[You're going to survive! Come on, I really need your help. Please, if you want either of us to make it out alive, get a grip and open fire!]"
As soon as Markus gets an angle, he takes aim and fires the EML.
