819 The Darklings

Max charged at the nearest of the Arisen attack fighters, knowing that the ships didn't have any melee weapons and were hindered by slow-aiming main weapons and a lack of secondary weapons that could threaten the Titan Class Mecha. 

Though it dodged, his kill was still certain until his alarm blared an impact warning, and Max rolled to the side as an energy beam came in from behind him, shattering the craft's shields and leaving it open to his blade. 

The energy sword tore the attack fighter in half, and Max moved to the next target, joining the Knife Ears dance with his comparatively huge and clumsy Mecha. 

[I want their gravity technology.] Nico complained as a kill was stolen from her by a blade-winged craft that did an impossibly tight dice roll and used its wing blade to cut apart the enemy after Nico's Disruptor took down its shield.
