Lanja noted the trio of BattleMechs that had broken from the Clan Wolf line to take care of the intruders from the swamp. Taking advantage of the confusion, she timed her jump-jet leap with the precision Elementals were so famous for. She rose swiftly to the back of a passing Wolf Executioner and sank the claw of her battle suit’s left arm into a joint between the armor plates. Jamming her laser into the crack, she pumped megajoules of energy into the interior of her victim. Then some sixth sense inborn to Elementals made her suddenly whirl and jet off the ’Mech, jumping as far away as possible. Hitting the ground, she went into a long roll that took her behind a knoll.

From there, she watched the Executioner’s back explode in a gout of flame as its ammunition erupted. For a moment, the ’Mech continued forward, then its left leg shuddered and collapsed, throwing it sideways. She had expected it to fall immediately, but the expert pilot inside stubbornly refused to eject and kept his machine going in a stumbling, sideways stagger. It was moving in Lanja’s general direction.

Lanja immediately realized she had miscalculated. As the ’Mech teetered and began to fall, it was coming right down at her. She tried to leap again, but her jump jets had lost too much charge.

As the huge machine bore down to crush her, she stared up at it in horror, but made no sound. Elementals did not scream.
