Malory felt the rubbacrete bounce against his back as rounds impacted
against it. He breathed in deeply ignoring the dust and smoke,
poised himself and then ran full tilt for the next rubbacrete pillar.
Bullets whined and sparked after him but he was fast, very fast and
he made it to the next pillar and slammed his back into it before the
stitching rounds followed him beat into its worn surface. Though he
knew both his custom fitted Angis 12.5mm AP Pistols were loaded and
ready he spared a moment and checked once more. His life depended on
it. Some thought those knights who chose the path of the pistoleer
were mad. Not as mad as Knight Errants who would forgo all but the
sword but still against several squads of rebel Muster he was quite a
disadvantage in terms of fire power. Those who were not of the Code
Gallant however did not understand that in taking up the path of
Errant or Pistoleers the intense training that went with the path
made such knights masters of their chosen arms. Also that unlike the
Knight Errant, pistoleers worked in pairs.
Across
the pillared room, once part of a prosperous guild frabricatory, the
Yordist Muster kept up their fire with their aim being to keep the
solitary Retained pinned in front of them. Pinned while they brought
up the Charleton's and Anvil's which would be able to blast apart the
rubbacrete barriers which were Malorys refuge from the gun fire.
Malory was ready now and in his mind he calculated and counted the
bullets and as the fire slackened at his lack of appearance and in
readiness of magazine changes he sprung his own assault.
In
a single fluid movement he turned to face the pillar with a pistol in
each hand, his face rounding the pillar for an instant registering
targets, his arms expending and the large heavy calibre hand guns
going round the rubbacrete as his head came back in. With the Angis
Pistols set to single shot he pulled each trigger four times in less
than a second and a half. The pistols were back at his side by the
time the first Muster fell dead to the ground. From the sound and
the screams he estimate he had killed four, wounded three and missed
once. Malory chastised himself, perhaps he was nervous after all.
But then he had not slept in two days it may well have been fatigue.
Hopefully Igraine had not seen him shoot.
Despite
the fallen troopers the Muster re-doubled their efforts and the
rubbacrete pillar began to loose great shards to the 9mm rounds.
They must be really losing it with fury now Malory thought as he
huddled as close as possible to the centre and away from the tumbling
edges of the pillar. Thousands of bullets for one foe, madness. But
then it was this madness that Malory was counting on to save him.
Focusing on him and him alone would give his partner time to work
around the back of the Muster. A thunder of 12.5mm rounds announced
Igraine's arrival.
Kit
Mallory emerged once more from the greatly thinned pillar and added
his own expert marksmanship to what was now a totally reversed
situation. Not a single Yordist survived and as the last one of the
enemy slumped to the ground Malory saw Igraine standing with a grin
as wide as a Cassilis on her face, reloaded pistols already back on
her magnabelt. He spoke softly and across the top of the heap of
bodies.
“You
took your time. Nearly cost me an arm.”
Igraine
Malory continued to grin and replied.
“My
dearest I got here as fast as I could. After all I had to deal with
the support squad that was inbound as well. But I see you can cope
well enough..apart from that shot you missed of course.”
Kitt
Malory returned the smile.
“Igraine.
As usual you don't miss a thing”.
