"Have mercy!" the battle mech's pilot pleaded through the dying machine's radio. Revius paused for a moment after hearing this. something in his mind unlocked after hearing these words. Righteous Fury sensing that there was no input coming from Revius crushed the mech into a crumpled mass of steel.

Revius was unable to stay in the moment and his conscious drifted away from the defense of the wall and to his past.

"Have mercy!" the last time he heard anyone say that was during his first crusade. his commanders gave him orders to destroy a rebel camp and leave no survivors. only after slaughtering most of the camp he found that it was full of trainees who were being forced to join the rebels. The last child who survived was no more than sixteen. Just before Revius was going to execute him he cried "Have mercy!" that statement made him sick, it made him question whether or not his cause was just, It made him ask if he was really doing something for the greater good. He contacted command for orders about this child who lay before him whimpering in fear.

"Your orders were given clearly Warblade, leave no survivors!" is what he remembered them saying.

The child met his fate by his righteous fury. and now it has finally come back to haunt him.
"Pilot feed detected, returning to manual control." Righteous Fury chimed. Revius returned to the real world and was met with an awful sight, the walker he had defeated was dead and another was looming before him.
Before he could react, the second walker landed a devastating blow into Righteous Fury's torso.
After a small space of static Righteous Fury warned, "Warning, hull integrity at 10%."

Meanwhile Hellfire was trudging through a field of burning bodies, his flamethrower was glowing red hot as it sprayed jets of fiery destruction everywhere. Soldiers ran and fell screaming in the ashy dirt as they succumbed to the flames. The horde of enemies was overwhelming. Hellfire was about to retreat when an enemy grabbed him from behind and attempted to drive a dagger through his throat. Hellfire mercilessly flipped the attacker over his shoulder. He landed with a thud and looked around a bit dazed. The soldier tried to stand but was met with Hellfires soulless stare as the red hot flamethrower seared into his chest and roasted him from the inside out. Hellfire quickly turned and started to sprint away from the now overrun trench.

Vulcan was losing hope. After dispatching at least ten opponents he no longer had the strength to fight anymore. He ran away as fast as his weakening body could carry him before he was shot in the back, the bullet ripped through his lower back and Vulcan cried out in pain. The enemy soldier who shot him rushed forward, grabbed Vulcan by the helmet and threw him down next to his foot. The enemy raised his mace and Vulcan accepted his imminent demise. He looked the enemy in the eye as the mace began to come down. Suddenly the soldier's head snapped to one side and a explosion of blood and brains flew out the side of his head as he limply fell to the ground beside Vulcan. Standing just a ways off was Tanev, holding a smoking pistol in his hand. He quickly ran over and hooked his arms underneath Vulcan's and began to drag him to safety.
"Captain... you're hit I need you try and conserve your energy, and whatever you do... Do NOT fall asleep! I'm going to get you outta here."

"Revius, if the hull sustains much more damage our internal workings will start to get hit by gunfire and we will undoubtedly be slain." Righteous Fury faintly said through a wave of static.
"Can you initiate the SRS?" Revius asked desperately.
"Yes I can activate the self repair systems, but it will deplete twenty five percent of our motor function." Righteous Fury said.
"Do it!" Revius commanded.
The warblade began to whir as internal welders and plates moved into place and started to repair the armor. The armor began to fuse shut and bend back into its original position. The hull integrity meter peaked at sixty two percent. Just in time for Revius to dodge a vicious swing from the battle mech's massive fist.
