Family Doesn’t Always Mean Blood

It had been 12 years since Devon and Amanda had witnessed their parents murdered by a small gang of renegades who ran around calling themselves “The Vipers”. they were a group of five convicts who had escaped from a prison colony in the Deep Periphery. They managed to steal few Battle Mechs and escape the world after blasting their way into a small space port and liberating a Union class dropship. Since that time they had become known throughout the entire region as pirates who shot first and asked no questions later. They never showed mercy and rarely left anyone alive.
On that fateful day 12 years ago, only by a hunch, did Devon and his adopted sister survive. Their parents heard rumors that the Vipers were around the Royal Fox System, and being a heavy vehicle mechanic, they had a small warehouse containing many spare parts, weapons, and even a little bit of ammunition. The parents knew that this small treasure trove would be too valuable to a group of pirates and that they would certainly be visited by them. With that in mind they had contacted the National Guard asking for some protection in case of a sortie by the pirates. The National Guard agreed to send a few guards but it would be almost a week before they arrived. When they heard the low boom of dropship engines breaking it’s descent, the parents immediately knew it was too late for them and the pirates would be long gone by the time the guards arrived, Devon’s father instructed the teenagers to hide in a small system of caverns that were located within minutes of their residence.
He argued strongly, Devon, being 18, figured he was old enough to help and didn’t want to leave his parents alone, but they keep insisting that he must take Amanda to safety. She was two years younger than Devon, and their dad had taught them both how to pilot and even repair vehicles of all kinds, but they were not ready for anything like this. After much arguing Devon grudgingly agreed and took Amanda to the caverns. Once inside they were able to get a top view of the family business and not even 15 minutes later they watched as the pirates closed in.
It was a holiday and everyone had left, so the only ones who remained were the four family members. Their Father had a STG-3R Stinger light Battle Mech that he had restored to full working condition. This had been the Mech that he had taught his kids how to pilot, and promised that they would some day inherit the Mech and it would be theirs. They watched as their father tried to protect their home with the Stinger, but he was entirely out matched and out gunned by the pirates. Sharing their parents passion for working on Mechs and other heavy vehicles gave the two of them a knowledge of the various Battle Mechs that dominated the landscapes of the galaxy.
As Devon and Amanda watched, they both swallowed hard as they began to recognize the models of the Mechs that the pirates were piloting and knew that their father had no chance in protecting them. The pirates came into view presenting two RFL-3N Rifleman’s, a TDR-5S Thunder Bolt, a CPLT-C1 Catapult, and the most feared of all, the one Mech that brought a bitter taste to the mouths of even the most experienced Mech Warriors… the AS7-D Atlas. Their father’s Stinger looked so small and fragile standing before the menacing force. They could only see the upper torso of their father’s Mech due to the fact he was standing in front of the warehouse, he was facing away from them but they could see through the Stinger’s motions that their father was trying to reason with the pirates.
Amanda stood up concerned when the pirates brought their weapons to bear, she saw her father fire his medium laser at the Atlas. The laser blast ricocheted harmlessly off the thick torso armor and flashed off endlessly into the air. The five pirate Mechs opened up together on the Stinger, laying one shot from each weapon into the thin armor of the recon Mech. The combined savageness practically vaporized the families restoration project. When the smoke and dust cleared away the children could no longer see any part of their dad’s Mech, it just looked like a charred piece of ground where their dad had been standing.
The pirates exited their Mechs and scouted the place looking for someone. They knew from the short range sensors that at least one other person was somewhere around, it turned out to be an amazing stroke of luck that Devon and Amanda were hiding just meters beyond the limited range of the sensors. The pirates found the one they were looking for hiding in the warehouse armed with a Zeus automatic heavy assault rifle.
The mother, Susan, felt her heart pounding as she caught a glimpse of the pirates entering the warehouse and knew she had to defend herself. She tried to take a few deep breaths to calm her nerves and steadied her assault rifle. She leaned out from some crates she was hiding behind and squeezed the trigger, sending 11mm full metal jacket rounds towards the pirates. They jumped down and rolled behind cover and started to shoot back with their own rifles. Susan was so intent on nailing the bastards that she failed to notice the pilot of the Atlas flank around to her left. The pirate fired a burst of three rounds and one of them caught Susan just above her waist. The bullet tore through Susan’s lower organs, exiting through her right side. She crumpled over losing her grip on her rifle and the Atlas pilot ran up and kicked it away from her. Susan was trying to crawl but the pain ripped through her, a stabbing burning sensation screamed at her from within her abdomen. she tried to get up but slipped on her blood and fell face first onto the ground. The five pirates surrounded her and one of them grabbed her by the hair and pulled her up.
“Ahhh… that’s too bad, this bitch is sweet, could have been a nice fuck!” he said as he dropped her to the ground.
One of the others replied chuckling. “Doesn’t matter, she still is.”
Susan cursed softly as she realized she had failed to protect her home. she wanted to grab her rifle and kill the pirates. She tried to reach out for the weapon but all her strength was gone, it had oozed away with her blood. She felt the pirate who had just spoke grab her pants and rip them down. She heard him undo his pants and felt him climb on top of her. Susan’s eye’s shut tightly as the pirate forced his cock into her ass. she felt no pain from it, she just laid there waiting to die, feeling her face bounce off the blood soaked floor with each thrust of the pirate.
When the last pirate finished emptying his balls into Susan’s ass, he grabbed her hair and pulled her head up commenting that he couldn’t believe she was still alive. He placed a large hunting knife against her throat and yanked it hard to the right, Susan heard the pirates chuckle as she saw more of her blood gush out landing on the floor in front of her. Susan’s vision darkened as she felt herself slip into eternal unconscious, her last thoughts being of Devon and Amanda sitting on her husband’s lap. The pirates left her there and proceeded to check the spoils of their adventure.
Devon heard his younger sister start to sob and he reached over and took her in his arms and hugged her. The two of them sat there for the rest of the day until they saw the pirates leave. They came out of their hiding spot and headed home. When they arrived they found the pirates had cleared out everything and no equipment remained anywhere. They walked into the warehouse and found their mother laying on the floor. The pirates had left her right where they had used her. Amanda screamed when she saw her mother laying dead in a pool of blood and ran out screaming for her dad. Devon followed her outside to the spot where their fathers Mech had stood. They found nothing, they could not find one intact piece of Stinger anywhere. Even the cockpit where their dad had sat had been vaporized. Devon grabbed his screaming sister again and held her close.
“We will avenge them Amanda, I don’t know when, I don’t know where, but we will find them and we will avenge our family, avenge them or join them in death trying.”
Devon hugged Amanda tight and just held her letting her sob into his shoulder, He looked to the horizon where the pirates had disappeared, his eyes narrowing in hatred.
A few days later the two of them had slowly began to get over their grief in losing their parents. the night had fallen and Devon went to his room and got into bed. He was exhausted because of the stress. Being the oldest and only son, he inherited all of his parents estates and fortunes, and the endless babble of the courts had taken their toll on him.
He laid in bed on his side trying to sleep, but he found his mind going a mile a minute and sleep eluded him. He heard someone enter his room and he looked over his shoulder to see Amanda coming over to his bed. she pulled the covers up and crawled into bed with him.
Devon rolled over and asked what she was doing. Amanda’s hand came up and lightly brushed Devon’s cheek.
“Your all I have left in this world Devon. Everyone I have ever loved and cared about is dead. I don’t want to lose you ever, and I promise you that I will never let anyone harm you.” she moved forward and gave him a soft kiss on the lips.
Devon sat up looking at her. “Amanda… we can’t… your my sister!”
Amanda also sat up. “Oh come on sweetie, you know full well that I’m not your sister, I was adopted making me no different than any other girl you would meet.”
“That’s not true Amanda, family doesn’t always mean blood, your my sister true and true.”
Amanda flipped over and straddled Devon. “I don’t want to be your sister, I want to be far more than that… I always have been yours Devon, I’ve waited all this time, wanting to prove to you how much I love you. So many times I’ve almost told you but I was afraid of what mom and dad would say… but… I guess we need not worry about that any longer.”
Amanda leaned forward and kissed Devon, stabbing her tongue between his lips. Devon wanted to resist but he couldn’t believe how sweet Amanda’s lips tasted and he leaned forward and let his tongue meet hers. He realized as he pressed his lips against hers that he loved her immensely also, and he wanted her to be with him always. Devon got out from under Amanda and the covers then sat back down. He embraced Amanda and squeezed her tight. He shivered a little when he felt the warmth of her skin against his. Devon slept only in his boxers and he discovered that Amanda slept the same way. He ran his hands down her back to her ass cheeks and cupped them in his hands. He lifted Amanda a bit and laid her down on the bed. Devon grabbed her panties and pulled them off her exposing her virgin pussy. He touched her lightly not sure how hard to press, Devon himself was also a virgin and he found himself unable to stop starring at Amanda’s shaven pussy. He thought to himself she should have grown hair by now, but upon closer inspection he could see small bits of stubble here and there and realized that Amanda must shave herself on a regular basis.
He leaned forward and licked Amanda’s pussy, starting at the bottom and working his way up. He heard Amanda moan and asked if she was ok, she said not to stop and ground his face into her pussy. Devon smiled and realized that Amanda was enjoying his attempt at oral sex, he had no idea what to do so he tried to study her reactions, concentrating on the spots where he heard her moan loudest and ignoring the ones where she didn’t. Devon had heard about a woman’s hymen and he wanted to see it. He gently spread Amanda’s cunt lips looking inside her, but wasn’t exactly sure what he was looking for. He stuck his tongue into her as much as he could to see if he could feel anything but he didn’t, his attempt just made Amanda moan louder.
“Honey… not to ruin the mood… but where is this hymen I’ve heard about?” he said between licks.
Amanda giggled. “Sorry sweetie your not going to find one.” her voice raising and falling in octaves accordingly to Devon’s licks. “A little while back I discovered one of mom’s toys and I ended up using it on myself…so it’s a little late, I already popped it.”
Devon gave a quick ok between his licks of Amanda’s cunt, he found himself enjoying the taste of Amanda. He thought he had his face in a jar of honey and swore it would be weeks before he stopped sucking her pussy. He heard Amanda’s breath quicken immensely and she started to buck her hips against his face. Devon thought that he was hurting her and pulled his face away, Amanda lunged forward and grabbed his head ramming it back between her legs, this time grinding her pussy and clit up and down across Devon’s face.
“Don’t (gasp) fucking (gasp) stop!” she begged and Devon obeyed and kept sucking on her cunt as she mashed it against him. About a minute later Amanda threw her hips up into Devon’s face and he grabbed her ass holding her up against him, and Devon was amazed when Amanda came against his face. All her juice gushing out against his face, into his mouth. Devon had trouble holding onto Amanda as she came, her hips bucking and trembling in all directions. Devon wondered how long she was going to cum for, but after about 30 seconds she slowly started to calm down, her hips settling back down onto the bed.
Devon got up on his elbows. “My god sweetie, I honestly can’t tell if that felt good or hurt like hell.”
Amanda smiled. “For someone who’s never done that you did a pretty good job. I guess it’s my turn now isn’t it?”
Devon looked at her. “What do you mean?”
Amanda got up and instructed Devon to lay on the bed. He did so eagerly, and watched as Amanda grabbed his cock and started to stroke it.
“This is what I mean sweetie.” she said as she lowered her her down to his cock. she blew a soft gust of cool air across the head of his cock and stuck out her tongue and ran it in lazy circles around the head of Devon’s cock. Devon moaned loudly as she opened her mouth and let his cock slowly into her mouth. Devon threw his head back, he couldn’t believe how good Amanda’s mouth felt on his cock. The warm and wet sensation of her mouth devouring his cock while her tongue swirled around the shaft caused a large case of goosebumps break across Devon’s skin. As she took his cock in, he found himself pushing forward trying to get her to take more. A couple of times he hit the back of her throat and made her choke a bit. He said sorry each time, but Amanda just giggled each time it happened.
Devon felt his balls boiling and found they were starting to hurt. Amanda was doing an amazing job on him but his balls felt like they were going to explode. He was just about to say something to her when his nuts suddenly did explode, sending shots of hot cum directly into Amanda’s mouth.
Amanda tried to be a pro about it and take it all but there was too much cum for her small mouth, and the cum squirted out from her cheeks running down the length of Devon’s cock. What cum did remain in her mouth she swallowed down, she thought about the taste and sensation for a moment and decided she liked it.
She laid down beside Devon stroking his cock. Devon was breathing hard and it didn’t take long for him to begin to get another erection. When his cock was fully erect he rolled over on top of Amanda. She spread her legs and let him fall into her forcing his cock against her pussy.Devon pulled back and grabbed his cock and placed it against her cunt. He pushed himself into her slowly and marveled at the tightness, wetness, and warmth of her pussy. He kept pushing himself in until he felt his balls come against her. Devon held still for a moment, believing if he moved he’d cum again instantly, after a few moments he pulled his cock out to the head and plunged back into Amanda making them both gasp out. Devon loved the feeling of her cunt on his cock. he couldn’t believe how good it felt. He could tell by the sounds Amanda was making and the expressions on her face that she was enjoying it as much as he was. The thought of her feeling good brought a tinge of happiness to him in this otherwise dim time. Since that day he wanted nothing more than for Amanda to feel good and be happy again, he missed her warm smile, the one that lit up even the darkest times.
Devon had heard about different positions and wanted to try having Amanda on her hands and knees. He asked Amanda and she repositioned herself and waited for Devon to penetrate her again. Devon grabbed her hips and drove his cock into her pussy with everything he had. He started fucking Amanda’s pussy hard and fast, pulling out almost all the way before slamming himself back in. Amanda kept begging for him to fuck her harder and he did, rocketing himself into her over and over, a couple of times almost slipping out of her.
Devon was in heaven and didn’t notice that he slipped out of Amanda all the way and without realizing it he drove his cock balls deep into Amanda’s asshole. She immediately screamed out and pulled away but because of him driving forward so fast he fell on top of her pinning his cock inside her ass. Devon started to pull his cock out but Amanda said stop, to keep his cock there and not move. Devon obeyed her reluctantly, he knew he had indeed hurt her and he felt a slight bit of nausea in his stomach.
After about a minute he was shocked to hear Amanda ask him to start to fuck her ass, but with the express directions to do so slowly and gently. Devon reached out and grabbed her ass in his hands and slowly pulled his cock out then paused and slowly entered her again. He squeezed his eyes shut when he felt how tightly Amanda’s ass was gripping his cock, he swore all she had to do was tense up and she’d rip his dick off. Devon kept the gentle pace as he fucked his adopted sister’s ass. He loved the sensation of her ass, it felt warmer and tighter than her cunt. He heard Amanda ask him to speed up a little and he did. within no time at all he was fucking her asshole with quick full strokes, listening to Amanda moan and beg for more.
Devon felt Amanda’s body tense up just like it had when she came in his face, and moments later she threw her head back as her orgasm ripped through her. The pulsing actions of her orgasm caused her asshole to squeeze and tighten it’s grip on Devon’s cock making her moan out in pain. Devon couldn’t believe how much her ass was squeezing his cock and he couldn’t help himself and released another load of hot cum into Amanda’s ass, deep inside her. He collapsed on top on Amanda and the two of them fell asleep while Devon’s cock shrunk back to normal inside Amanda’s ass.
The years rolled by, and Devon and Amanda had continued to work as mechanics, honing their skills and adding a good income to their already substantial bank account. They had each bought their own horribly damaged, junked Battle Mechs and proceeded to restore them just as their father had done until now they had their own Battle Mechs that they were very proud of. Devon had restored his dream Mech and now proudly sat in the cockpit seat of his fully operational MAD-3R Marauder, fiddling around while he looked over at his younger sister dancing her BLR-1G Battle Master around on one leg.
He smiled as he watched Amanda, since their parents had been murdered they had grown very close and had fallen deeply in love with one another. They didn’t care about the title of brother and sister since Amanda had been adopted, she was not a blood relation so they just let their love guide them. And now 12 years later they were as close to married as possible without actually going through with the wedding vows. Devon loved Amanda with all his heart, with every fiber of his existence. He often worried about her being in a Battle Mech. Unsure of how his heart would react if he lost her in one.
He chuckled a bit. “Right.” he thought. “I’m not sure if there’s anyone sane enough to tangle with her.”
He smiled and looked out at Amanda, who was seemingly having a lot of fun hopping her Mech around on either foot. He shook his head and wondered if there was anything she truly couldn’t do with these technological wastes of money.
He softly said into the mic. “Be careful Honey.”
He heard her voice come back over the coms. “Oh shut up Devy.” raising her Mech’s hand in the “Talk To The Hand” gesture. “There’s nothing I can’t do with my baby, just cause you can’t do it doesn’t mean it’s impossible… besides… name anyone in this galaxy who can keep up to me my Dear… and.. ah… if you keep bugging me… I’m going to poison your lunch!”
He heard her giggle and laughed himself, he marveled at how his love could move such a large lumbering beast with the grace of a ballerina, like she was rehearsing for a dance number. That coupled with her uncanny accuracy made her one young lady that could seriously do some damage. It never made a difference what Mech she happen to pilot, from the lightest recons to the heaviest assaults, Amanda was indeed respected by all for her ability, from the lowliest of the janitors to the highest of the elite pilots, her skills made all shake their heads in disbelief. Even thought he was older Devon knew Amanda’s skill far surpassed his own, he was convinced that Amanda could beat him and his Marauder with a mere Wasp or Locust and he wouldn’t stand a chance against her.
It just seemed that Amanda had a gift not many others had, while other Mech Warriors piloted their Mechs, Amanda merged with hers, and the two of them became one. When Amanda moved there was never any sudden jerks or mechanical motion, there was just the grace of an artist before a blank canvas. She was hands down the best Mech pilot he had ever seen, she even surpassed their father’s skill, but when Amanda found herself with her true love, her Battle Master, something odd just happened. She could do things with her baby that it’s designers said couldn’t be done, like the one time when someone had suggested to Amanda that she outfit her Mech with jump jets, she laughed in his face and asked why, then proceeded to bring her Battle Master to full running speed, leap into the air, and land on her feet still running. To everyone’s amazement she had managed to clear approximately 30 feet, and keep her balance like her Mech had remained standing still.
Devon and Amanda eventually gave up their work and opened up their own repair faculty. They opened up the factory in the middle of no where so they could have lots of room to pilot their Mechs and play around with them while still maintaining suitable storage space for whatever jobs or supplies they needed to store and work on.
On the anniversary of the parents death, the two of them had always given their employees the day off, and today was no different. Devon and Amanda remained to catch up on some paper work and a few odd jobs they had laying around.
When noon rolled around the two stopped to have a quick lunch, and they decided to sit outside since it was a nice day. Amanda finished her sandwich and knelt down behind Devon. She placed her hands on his shoulders and started massaging his muscles. Devon sighed and leaned his head back against her and she kissed him on the forehead. Her hands left his shoulders and worked down his body till they found Devon’s pants, she slipped her hand underneath and found his cock and started to massage it. Devon lifted his hips off the ground and slid his pants down and kicked them off and leaned back again spreading his legs wider. His cock had grown fully erect and Amanda reached lower and scooped his balls and gave them a gentle squeeze. She moved to the side and put her head down and rubbed Devon’s cock across her lips. She stuck her tongue out and licked the head pausing at his pee hole to try and shove her tongue in. Her mouth parted a little and she slid down taking Devon’s cock deep into her mouth. His cock hit the back of her throat and she continued to swallow it. She took his entire 9 inch cock into her throat and started to swallow, squeezing Devon’s cock with her throat causing him to moan out loud and drive his hips off the ground again in an attempt to drive his cock even deeper into her throat. Amanda released his cock from it’s trap and pulled up until the head was still in her mouth. She ran her tongue around the head, pausing to give a few extra licks to the underside of Devon’s cock.
Devon moaned loudly and grabbed Amanda and pulled her pussy to his face. He reached up and pulled her shorts down along with her panties and buried his face between her lips, his nose entered her cunt and she pulled her head off his cock throwing her head into the air with a loud “OH!” Devon licked up and ran his tongue across Amanda’s asshole. Amanda moaned and threw her head back down burying Devon’s cock into her throat again gagging as she did.
Amanda heard Devon say. “Oh god.” and she pulled her head up taking his cock from her throat. she got the head of his meat to her lips just as he exploded, sending torrents of cum into her mouth. Amanda tried to swallow all of it but she couldn’t and a few streams squirted out down her chin. She sat up grinding her cunt into Devon’s face as she took his cock in her hand stroking it furiously. She stayed still allowing Devon to drive his tongue deep into her pussy and she felt her own orgasm starting to build. Amanda arched her back and drove her cunt harder against Devon’s face as she came, her juices gushed out causing Devon to choke a bit. She opened her eyes and looked at Devon’s hard cock and started to move.
She repositioned herself and mounted Devon. she grabbed his hard cock and put it against her pussy. she sat down on it taking it as deep as she could. she sat still for a moment, allowing her juices to coat Devon’s cock with a thick layer. She pulled up and took Devon’s cock from her pussy and placed it against her asshole. She pushed her ass down and Devon’s big cock ripped her open, stretching her hole wide. Amanda screamed in a mixture of pain and pleasure as her ass drove down taking Devon’s big cock all the way. She sat still again letting her ass readjust to Devon’s cock. After a few moments she started to buck her hips slowly. Amanda leaned forward and kissed Devon on the lips and started to increase her pace. She fucked Devon’s cock with her ass as fast as her knees would allow, trying to take full strokes. Her head was swimming, any initial pain had gone away and nothing but pure pleasure remained as she bounced herself up and down. She could feel Devon’s big cock pushing against the inside of her cunt and it drove her over the edge. she put her head on his chest and screamed as her orgasm ripped through her. she lost her strength and collapsed the rest of the way onto Devon who was also cumming again. Amanda’s tight ass squeezing even harder because of her cumming was enough to tear his cum from his balls and he filled Amanda’s ass up with squirt after squirt of hot cum.
Amanda remained on top of Devon panting with his cock still in her ass. Devon wrapped his arms around her and held her tight. Devon rolled over and laid Amanda on the ground beside him and his cock slipped from her ass. They both faded off into a nap cuddled with each other in the warm afternoon sun.
An hour or so later they were awakened by the boom of dropship engines. they sat up and looked to the east rubbing the sleep from their eyes. They saw a Union Class Dropship fire it’s engines once again to bring the large egg shaped craft gently onto it’s landing pads. They stood up and looked at the ship but it was quite a distance away and they could not make out any markings. They watched as the dust slowly settled around the craft and a few minutes later saw the dropship’s large bay doors begin to open.
Devon gasped as he saw an Atlas and a Thunder Blot emerge from the dropShip and heard Amanda remark “It can’t be.” when two Rifleman’s and a Catapult followed close behind. The two looked at each other with open mouths and could tell by the looks upon each others face that they were indeed looking at their parents murderers.
Devon and Amanda pulled their clothes back on and ran to the warehouse where their Mechs sat, They climbed the stairs of the scaffolding, jumped into their respected cockpits, donned their neuro helmets and powered up their Mechs.
Devon grabbed the controls and started to move his Marauder out of the warehouse followed closely by his sister and her Battle Master. They moved to the front of the factory and waited as the pirates slowly neared. Devon heard Amanda repeated say over and over almost whispering… “Vipers are ass wipers… Vipers are ass wipers…” He smiled to himself and looked out at the Atlas.
He softly whispered to Amanda. “I love you.” and smiled when he heard her repeat it back to him.
An unfamiliar voice come over the com and demand that he stand down and surrender the factory to them.
Devon screamed over the com. “You are the ones who killed our parents, for years we have waited patiently for you to appear again and now that you have prepare for our revenge.”
He heard the voice again. “Did we now… well that is totally possible, we do kill a lot of people, but we rarely remember any of them so if you think your special and we remember you, you are mistaken, the two of you are nothing to me, you are just a stain on my ass that I will wipe away.”
Devon closed his eyes and thought, “You really shouldn’t have said that.” as he heard Amanda scream and launch her Battle Master into action. He watched in disbelief as she brought the 85 ton beast up to full speed and jump at the Thunder Blot in a space that should not have allowed her time to even reach half speed.
He was still glancing at Amanda as he moved his Marauder’s torso down and to the left as the Catapults large laser flashed by his left shoulder. He saw Amanda, still in the air, form her hand into a knife like appendage and drive it straight into the cockpit of the Thunder Bolt. The Mechs fingers smashed through the cockpit view plate easily and Amanda twisted her Mech’s hand causing the hole in the cockpit open up more. She could see the pilot strapped to his seat frantically stabbing at his controls and she pushed forward driving the Mechs fingers deeper into the cockpit smearing the pilot against his seat and the back of the cockpit. The Thunder Bolt slumped down and fell straight back as the two Rifleman began to fire their large lasers at Amanda, but she just pivoted her Mech around on it’s right leg and the lasers passed harmlessly by her shoulder as she began to raise her massive PPC in response.
Devon felt his Marauder shake and looked forward to see the Catapult’s LRM 20’s launcher doors beginning to close. His attention had focused on Amanda for a moment and this allowed the Catapult to bring it’s LRM’s to bear even thought they were a bit close to each other.
“How dare you shoot that crap at me.” he thought as he squeezed the triggers of both his PPC’s. He felt the heat immediately shoot up in the cockpit as the man made lightning tore through the air impacting the Catapult on either side of it’s cockpit and Devon saw flashes of bright light flood the cockpit as huge globs of molten metal splash through the air and the Catapult fell forward. Devon saw it impact the ground and moments later cringed when he saw the Mech’s super heated coolant gush forth from the holes his PPC’s had made in the sides of the cockpit..
Devon was thrown against the right side of his seat and alarms wailed as his Marauder staggered to the left from the force of the impact of the Atlas’s huge autocannon. As Devon’s Marauder was still staggering the Atlas slammed it’s LRM 20 into him as well, and more alarms went off signaling that the missiles had impacted the same area the autocannon had and his Mech was suffering internal damage as a result. Devon tried to bring his Marauder under control but was unable to regain his balance as the Atlas once again fired it’s autocannon into the side of the Marauder. Devon felt his Marauder going over and braced himself as his 75 ton machine fell onto it’s right side. The impact with the ground shook the Mech to it’s core and severed some of the power cables feeding life to the Marauder. Devon opened his eyes and saw the Atlas bringing it’s massive foot down onto the right knee of his Marauder snapping the joint like a twig. The Atlas’s raised it’s massive foot again and drove it down, this time on the side of the Mechs torso. The alarms that remained operational wailed once again telling Devon that his Marauder’s engine and gyro had suffered damage and were failing.
Devon looked past the Atlas to his sister’s Battle Master. He saw one of the Rifleman in a sitting position with a massive hole melted through it’s torso, and the others large lasers were being removed by Amanda as she physically tore the Rifleman apart.
Devon noticed a shadow come over him and he looked up. He saw the Atlas had positioned itself so that it’s next crushing stomp would be directly into the cockpit where Devon sat trapped. He watched as it’s massive foot raised up and lingered over him for a split second. Devon heard the scream of the actuators as they forced the massive foot down towards him. Just as Devon squeezed his eyes shut he heard the massive impact of armor against armor as Amanda’s Battle Master flew into the Atlas causing it to stagger to it’s left and it’s massive foot caught just the edge of Devon’s cockpit plate, disintegrating it, exposing Devon to the open air. The combined 185 tons of the two Mechs falling to the ground with a thunderous crash, kicked up a dust cloud that invaded Devon’s cockpit
Devon wiped the dust from his view and screamed “YES!” as he looked out and saw Amanda’s Battle Master begin to regain it’s feet. He shook his head slightly as he watched Amanda pick her 85 ton Mech off the ground like it was pollen blowing in the wind. He saw her as she brought her Mech to full attention, standing like she was proud. Devon saw Amanda raise her massive PPC and take aim at the skull head of the Atlas which had only begun to regain it’s knees. He yelled “YES!” again as he watched the Atlas’s head armor take the full brunt of the Particle Projection Cannon.
The PPC did it’s job and large amounts of armor were scalped from the Atlas’s head, but Devon knew as well as Amanda that this was indeed a AS7-D Atlas and that a few more shots may be required to silence such a powerful Mech. Amanda looked at her PPC gauge and saw that the weapon was still charging and cursed out loud. she fired her four medium lasers into the Atlas’s head also, but they seemed to have no effect as the Atlas finally regained it’s feet acting like the PPC blast and medium lasers were nothing more than a mere insect.
Devon flinched when he saw the massive autocannon fire at Amanda. The cannon impacted her Battle Master dead center, opening up large craters cross the Mech’s torso. Amanda knew she couldn’t go toe to toe with this beast so she once again brought her Battle Master to full speed and jumped into the Atlas causing them both to stagger again but this time both Mech’s maintained their balance. The impact dazed the Atlas pilot enough that he began to stagger back. Amanda’s Battle Master had a 6 pack of short ranged missiles, so she targeted the Atlas’s skull and fired. Four of the small missiles impacted the Atlas’s skull like head while the other two landed on the torso just below the Atlas’s “chin”. The force of the impact stunned the pilot more and gave Amanda the seconds she needed. She closed in and made her right hand into a fist and punched the Atlas square between the eyes. The combined damage off the PPC, medium lasers, and pyhsical punch was enough to cause the heavy head armor of the Atlas to give away and Amanda saw a crack open up across the Atlas’s left “cheek”. A chime rang and Amanda smiled knowing her main weapon had recharged, so she brought her PPC up, placed it against the crack and pulled the trigger, feeling a slight bit of satisfaction creep through her as the crack in the armor opened up under the assault of the PPC’s lightning. The Atlas’s skull like head exploded sending bit’s of the pilot in each direction. The massive Atlas’s limbs dropped to it’s side and the massive Mech fell back crashing into the ground with such a force that parts of it were torn from it.
Amanda turned her mech to look at Devon’s Marauder and a flood of relief washed over her as she could see him smiling at her from his seat. She felt tears of joy run down her cheeks when she realized he was ok and was amazed the Mech still had power when she heard his voice come alive over the com.
Amanda couldn’t hold back the laughter and burst out when she heard Devon simply say.
“Oh shut up Amanda.”

The End
