The Fall of Falcon Scott (19)

Sunny knew that he would not be able to do a lot in this fight… but then again, he did not have to. Right now, his role was to support Saint and let his Shadows do all the heavy lifting.

Maybe that was how he was supposed to fight every battle, really… but sadly, fate rarely gave him such opportunities.
