The Candy Rush
S.T.R.A.N.A. M.E.C.H.T.Y. O.C.T.O.B.E.R 31
St 3050
It was a red sunset. An Atlas, like a limping zombie, stumbled across the field. The Atlas pilot Lieutenant Javen Megursion was one of the last of the small Steiner Company’s mechs. Javen and three others were still alive…barely. Corporal Livia Jamison’s broken Rifleman came up the hill. That mech was barely hanging together; with a broken leg actuator, a shattered arm actuator, and malfunctioning gyros, she was standing with extreme difficulty. Finally the twins Jack and Jake Yorgen appeared in their ghoulishly painted Panthers--they were in better shape than Javen's and Livia’s mechs.
They were here on an… "expedition." Actually they were on a mission to find and kill the Il-Khan Ulric Kerensky. Where were they? Strana Mechty. With Steel Viper and Star Adder and Ghost Bear mechs strewn everywhere, the place looked like a graveyard. They had succeeded in their assignment but were now being hunted. Their dropship was just ten klicks south of their position. Javen’s Radar beeped. Two clan Jade Falcon Mad Dogs, two clan Wolf Timber Wolves, two clan Nova Cat Novas, two clan Star Adders, and two Steel Viper Adders appeared over the hill. Fresh mechs too. As they advanced, their paint jobs were easy to see: skeletons, zombies, Frankenstein, and various Halloween motifs. Then the clan leader Antonius Zalman of the Steel Vipers leaped out of his mech and yelled "HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! WANT SOME CANDY?!?!"
And they all had fun and ate candy until they died from candy overdose.
The moral of this story, kids? Do not candy overdose.
