As Maja gave her ultimatum, the ShadowHawk did not move, and no voice answered. Instead, the Grand Dragon pivoted to target her with it's weapons and unleashed everything it had. Lasers sliced down the right side of the mech, vaporizing chunks of armor from leg and arm, while the Particle projection cannon shredded plating from the left torso. (Hit RL+RA+LT, 5+5+10 damage) The volley of missiles exploded uselessly around, while the back-laser knifed past the Cicada to no effect.
In turn, the Cicada charged forward, guns blazing, and managed to trace the Dragon with both machine guns, scoring minor damage across the machine. (Hit RA, glancing hit RT, 2+1 damage) The hail of brass was atomized as the large laser mounted on the Hussar flashed past, narrowly missing both mechs, the Hussar having climbed the back side of the hill to gain a firing vantage.
The Dragon couldn't stop and collect itself, however, as Bruun pushed his machine into a run, charging up the hillside and unleashing his own laser at point blank range, scoring a glancing blow to the legs of the Dragon. (glancing blow LL, 2 damage)
The sudden shift in weight caused by nearly a ton of armor vaporizing off the mech sent the Wyvern staggering, but Maja kept it standing (Passed piloting check to remain standing)
The flurry of kicks and punches expected did not materialize, as the Cicada, Valkyrie, and Dragon all moved to avoid and attack all at once, and no blows were landed, but in turn, no mechs overbalanced either.
After that volley, the Dragon glowed red hot in the thermal scans, and even the naked eye could see the heat billowing off the mech, so intensely the heat sinks glowed searing white hot. The observers outside could hear the fans in the Dragon simulator, so hard were they working to heat the pod. The machine sagged, growing still, as the emergency shutdown temporarily disabled the mech to until the heat-sinks could compensate. (Piloting roll to avoid shtudown failed, Piloting roll to avoid ammo explosion success)
