《W.A.R.F.R.A.M.E.》Chapter Thirty: Versus Dune Raiders
Advertisement
The announcer made the announcement after giving the pilots and audience a short break. “We will now commence the second match of Round 2 for B block of the Massey City Qualifiers. Miles Massey High School team Silver Vanguard versus Jameson Carter Middle School Dirt Bike Club, team Dune Raider.” Mister Myers observes the teams entering the cockpit pods, “This battle will be decided by the battlefield. You guys have to be ready in case of a disadvantage.” Inside his cockpit, the captain of the Dune Raiders sneered. “Doesn’t really matter what the battlefield is. With our coordination, we’ll win for sure.” The other members of Dune Raiders had the same expression. The mechanical voice spoke, “Initiating display. Field Selected: Lunar Surface.” The Dune Raider captain was smiling with glee, “It looks like luck is on our side. Come on guys, let’s wrap this up quickly.” Their respective frames appeared in the launch tunnels, and they all called out, “Tiger III, Launch!”
All six units entered the battlefield. Rosenkavalier, Jakqoo V, and Mantaraia flew across the battlefield. Anna asks her team, “What’s your opinion on our opponent this time?” Justin answered full of confidence, “If these guys use their Panzer types, then our victory is in the bag.” Vincent then commented, “If our victory is in the bag, then I can relax a bit.” Anna sighs in resignation, “Overconfidence can be our downfall guys. We need to take these guys as seriously as the rest of our future opponents.” Just as Anna said this, the alarms blared and she spotted several incoming rockets.
Justin and Vincent also detected the rockets that were headed their way. The three frames flew lower and avoided the rockets but just as they avoided the rockets, Vincent was alerted to another attack, but this time it was towards him. He wanted to avoid the incoming attack but he reacted too slowly. A beam pierced through his left leg and it exploded. The resulting explosion sent him crashing to the ground into a crater. Vincent was about to get up and re-join his team when his camera showed that a net had been placed over him. The net electrified, and it sent shocks to his frame. The Jakqoo V was temporarily stunned.
Seeing Vincent caught under the electrified net, Anna and Justin went to try to help but just as they were about to more rockets and several missiles came flying their way. They were able to shoot down most of the rockets and missiles when another beam was fired in their direction. Anna was the first to react and stood between the beam and Mantaraia. “Sniper!” she said as Anna positioned herself so that her shield took the brunt of the attack. Anna could see Justin was the intended target so she placed herself between the two and stopped the attack with her new shield.

Having blocked the attack Anna pointed her rifle at the place where the shot came from and fired her beam rifle blade. Seeing the beam that was approaching, the Tiger III quickly moved its six tires and ran out of the crater it was hiding in. It dashed across the battlefield and Anna and Justin gave chase. They chased after the Tiger III for a while, before Anna finally noticed what was going on. “Justin, we just left Vincent alone with the enemy. We have to turn back.” Justin also came to the realization and followed orders.
Anna and Justin turned back and started to fly in the direction Vincent was attacked when their alarms blared again as multiple missiles were approaching them. They were able to shoot down most of them when Anna got hit and fell to the surface of the moon. Anna had fallen for the same trap that got Vincent. Just as she was getting up, several small spikes shot out and weaved around her. The wires attached to the spikes had tied her and she was unable to move. Anna struggle but she could not break free. Justin tried to help her but he stopped when she assured him of her safety. “Go help Vincent, Justin. I’ll be fine. I’ve got a card up my sleeve. You don’t need to worry about me.” Justin accepted his order, “Alright. I’ll come back for you after I save that amateur.” Justin turned around and flew at his topmost speed.
When Justin arrived at the location where Vincent fell, he spotted the idiot still under the confines of the electrified net. The only difference is, this time he was not alone. There were two Tiger III standing over him. One of them kept bashing Vincent with a hammer while the other stood guard. Witnessing the situation Justin fired four torpedoes from his manta ray. When the two Tiger III were alerted to the incoming attack, they both used the thrusters in between the two rows of six tires and escaped from the attack. Just as the two moved away, Justin quickly swoops in to save Vincent.
Seeing this scene one of the Tiger III's ordered his teammate, “Stop him. We can’t let him free his friend.” The second Tiger III aimed his cannons at Justin just as he swooped down to save Vincent. “I still can’t believe that it was so easy for them to take you down, amateur.” Seeing the incoming attack, Justin was unable to get Vincent to safety, but he was able to block the attack with the fin of his manta ray. Even though he was able to block most of the attack, the momentum of the blast colliding with his fin, sent him crashing into the ground nearby. A large gash was left on the ground as the power behind the attack had sent Justin to the edge of the crater.

The two members of Dune Raiders were about to celebrate their victory but unfortunately, things did not go as they had planned. “Why do I suddenly have a bad feeling?” One of the Tiger IIIs approached the location where Vincent was supposed to be but there was dust everywhere after Justin was shot by his cannon. The Panzer type inched closer and closer, waiting for the dust to settle. He wanted to finish his opponent as quickly as possible. When he got close enough, the pilot behind the Tiger III saw two bands of light 80° above him.
The bands of light came down quickly as his alarms blared. When he realized what had happened the pilot noticed the two beam hawk axes that were protruding out of his neck. Just things were bad enough Vincent had aimed the Gatling gun hanging over his shoulder and fired. The bullets easily tore through the Tiger III like a hot knife through butter. While the sound of bullets being fired blocked out any other sound, Vincent angrily spoke inside his cockpit, “Payback. Put me in an electrified net huh? Well, how about I riddle you full of holes? How do you like them apples?” When the Tiger III exploded, Vincent moved away, making some distance between himself and the explosion.
Seeing the resulting explosion and his friend being riddled with holes before exploding, the second Tiger III took this opportunity to quickly dash towards Vincent. He sneakily arrived at the location Vincent would land, he raised his hammer, intending to destroy Vincent’s Jakqoo V for destroying his comrade’s frame. However just as he was about to swing his hammer, Justin had already gotten back to his feet and threw his spear in the direction of the Tiger III. The spear flew out of Justin’s hand and it quickly soared through the air and pierced the Tiger III right through its stomach. The sudden attack had stopped the Tiger III’s movements. Taking this opportunity, Vincent slashed downwards with his two beam hawks, just as he was about to land. He activated his thrusters and slashed down, leaving two large gashes on the Panzer type’s chest, parallel to each other with the spear right between them. Vincent then dashed away towards Justin. The second Tiger III explodes just as Vincent was helping Justin up, “Still think I’m an amateur?” Justin scoffs, “Maybe amateur is too good for you. How about novice.” Just then, they had received the notification, ‘Battle Over!’ Justin chuckled, “She did it. Guess I really didn’t need to worry about her.” Vincent then asks, “Why are you laughing? And why is the battle over?” Mantaraia knocks Jakqoo V’s head, “It means we won, you idiot.” When Vincent heard what Justin had said, he celebrated, “We won. Yay, we won. Score another one for us. So, how did we win?”
Right after Justin left Anna to save Vincent, the leader of the Dune Raiders confronted the bound Anna, “You got lucky in the first round. But now you’re facing my team, and your luck’s run out. After I take you down, I’ll help my team take down the guy that just left.” The Tiger III aimed his sniper rifle at Rosenkavalier’s head. The pilot sneered, “Any last words?” Anna chuckled. Even though her Rosenkavalier was bound and unable to move, and her opponent was about to defeat her, Anna did not panic, “A few.” The Dune Raider captain was surprised by her response, “Oh, and what would they be exactly?” Anna answered him, “You’re wide open.”
The captain found her words confusing. Just then four bit blades detached themselves from the photon shield on Rosenkavalier’s shoulder and cut through the wires before they flew towards the Tiger III and severed both of his arms. Anna then used her beam blade rifle in blade mode and stabbed the Tiger III in the chest before changing it to its rifle mode. Anna pulled the trigger and a hole was left in the frame’s chest before it exploded. The four bit blades returned to Anna’s shield, “Told you, you were wide open.” A notification appeared before Anna, ‘Battle Over!’ Anna, Vincent, and Justin exited their cockpits and the announcer made the announcement, “Winner, team Silver Vanguard.” The crowd cheered at the match Silver vanguard had just shown them. It was one of the most exciting and thrilling matches yet.
