A blazing firestorm soared to the sky as a cloud of dust pervaded the arena.
Suddenly, the pilot of Thunderburst discovered that his screen had gone black. Immediately afterward, there were crackling sounds of electric sparks coming from electronic equipment all around him before a plume of smoke rose from the display and the interface.
Short-circuited?
The Thunderburst pilot couldn't believe it. Nonetheless, he could feel the body tilting backward bit by bit.
"Stand firm! Stand firm!"
The moment the cockpit was flooded with smoke, the European recruit screamed hysterically and tried every possible mean to make the Thunderburst stand firm.
He clearly knew that the Thunderburst had been blown up by someone, but it was still unable to accept it.
