No mercy was given, no respect, not even in death.
Corpses of the dead were crushed underfoot, disregarded and forgotten, as if they were the ground itself, after they were sent up to whatever chaotic hall of afterlife celebrations. They were quick to be enveloped in the blood and innards of their enemy, never taking more than a moment before engaging their next foe. The Black Hands had come to know that until they got to the top of the hill, there was no end to be had. There'd always be another Maw fanatic to kill.
Pointing out an entrenched missile battery, Voidwalker let the Batlemind AI identify and designate the target for his men. With a plethora of advanced equipment, it didn't take much for a trooper that was still in the air -- jetpack keeping them above the gun emplacements -- to fire a rocket into the tagged target.
Of all the battles they had been deployed to, this was the simplest.
No mountain of sand that was determined top priority, no cannon he was meant to stop from firing to save allies that didn't like them anyway. He'd have his chance to deliver pain unto them, he was sure of it. This whole operation was theirs after all.
“Will you serve the Maw?”
Valaar did not hear what the woman said, but he could see that she was speaking. One of his own, close to falling away into the embrace of death, taken from him? By some twisted Witch of the Maw? His silvered gaze tightened, the vibroblade in hand clenched tighter as he patched into the link.
<<Vinso, get him!>>
The nearby trooper nodded, fibrecord launcher fired from their wrist wrapping around the wounded Black Hand before they could truly accept the 'offer.' Simultaneously, Aemilio's jetpack boomed to life, propelling him across the blood-caked earth as Vinso yanked on the fibrecord and dragged the wounded trooper out of the way. Faintly, he heard a voice cry out for Aella -- the name was familiar -- one of the medics in the unit, but he could not recall if he heard an answering call before tuning them out.
<<Nobody fire on the Witch!>>
With the jetpack throwing him forwards, faster than he had ever moved while tethered to the ground, he aimed to tackle the maybe-not-so-distracted woman to the ground. Garbed in a heavy powersuit, the result -- if not stopped -- was sure to leave the woman crippled from impact alone.
