Rise of LOKI Session 5: A Breakthrough

Characters:
Arthur - Alphonso
Kirato - Fuegan: The Burning Lance
Hiro - Rex

Amphibious Landing
The party were airdropped just off the northwest island of the Rugen archipelago.  Kirato used the scanner and determined that the source of the power spike was likely on the south end of the main island, so they waded through the ocean in that direction, wary of enemies.  Hiro scanned with his Radar and spotted an enemy AESIR in the center of the main island; one of the Bricks with superheavy armour and homing missile launcher.

It hadn't detected them yet, so they advanced some more, at which point it spun and fired a missile at them.  Hiro noticed a massive bullet crash into the water behind him, but none of them could see the source, and another AESIR, this one a Knight with sword and shield, activated Booster Jets from somewhere on the south end of the main island and leapt towards Kirato, narrowly missing.

Arthur stepped onto the island and tried to remove the Knight's sword arm, but it managed to dodge, while Kirato panicked and froze.  The missile flew towards them, hanging low to the forest, and Hiro missed it with a burst of lasers.  Kirato recovered from stun ("Oh right, it's just like a video game!") as three mystery bullets slammed into Arthur from different directions; nobody could tell where they were coming from.  The Knight slashed at Arthur, but he managed to parry, then cut off its sword arm in retaliation.
