Right, dodge. Through a seemingly endless stream of missiles.
Evasive subroutines mark each incoming projectile, looking for a safe path through the firestorm raining down upon you.
The vertical trajectory makes it near-impossible to find actual cover against the continuous strikes. Ahead, fresh black blurs finally cease rising from Pyramid’s back. Reload cycle, then.
Your options may be limited, but boost forwards, down, push off left, left again, forwards, skid around the corner, full speed forwards around the corner, and you’ll be in position to Rip and Tear at point blank into your target.
Perfect.
Explosions follow in your wake as the volley begins to land, each jerk of the thrusters and shove of the legs pulling you just ahead of the danger. You need all the speed you can muster.
Forwards. Down to ground with a smash, push off with your own movement. More explosions behind.
Halfway through the dodges, alerts complain of insufficient energy supply to Burning Eagle. You reroute power away from nonessential systems and Predator to shut them up.
.35 second thrust left, extend the dodge.
Error messages tell you that the reactor is struggling to pick up the slack and refill the supply under the constant draw. There’s an internal snarl as you realize that you have miscalculated somewhere.
The last boost turns from evading to enduring the tail end of the attack, letting the remaining missiles smash into your back, driving you to the ground with blow after blow.

Minor armor breach. All systems functional. Still.
You are close, now. Almost close enough for payback.
Rising up upon your hands, pushing your frame back to the feet while your reactor continues to protest, even as it refills the internal energy supply.
The titan ahead of you seems to shrug, then smaller laser beams lash out, drawing scorch marks across the buildings around you. The massive twin barrels in its left hand remain silent, though you can still detect energy output rising.
Almost there.
