Bab 58: Death Throes

Ursa glanced over his shoulder and found that his forces were already thinned. There was barely anything left of his expedition forces, and most of the strong fighters were defeated. The situation was turning against his favor, and for the first time, he felt his back was against the wall. 

Meanwhile, Captain Hayes lined up for another attack run in the A-10 Warthog. 

"Warthog One, commencing another run," Hayes reported.

Vincent, monitoring the battlefield from the control center, responded, "Copy that, Warthog One. Keep the pressure on him. We can't let that monster recover."

The A-10 swooped down again, its GAU-8/A Avenger rotary cannon roaring to life. The 30 mm rounds rained down on Ursa, each one a potential death blow. Ursa, realizing he was the main target, tried to dodge the incoming fire, but his large frame made it difficult. Bullets pierced his armor and flesh, causing him to stagger and roar in agony.
