Nasty Surprise.

With much of their surroundings cleared due to the explosion earlier, Zaine and his squadmates no longer had to crawl on the floor with their four limbs. Enough space had been cleared to the point where they could walk upright. Still, just to be safe they lowered their upper-bodies to evade the possible flying projectiles. 

Having your eyes blown off due to carelessness would be a sad way to die.

Nervously observing his surroundings Zaine continued to walk in a steady, unhurried manner. Passing through the pile of flaming debris, the group quickly made it to the segment where a large heavy-mech was hunkering down and blocking their path of advancement.

"This is the one. If we get past this, it will be smooth sailing from here." Hawk pointed out, behind Zaine.
