"Not yet, pal."  Sam growled.  The battle was heating up, and that's what Sam was hoping for.<br/><br/>When the sand erupted, disgorging Zakus in it's wake, Sam saw the boss dispatch one with a beam sabre, and smiled.  The new lead had some chops, that was for sure.<br/><br/>Sam didn't have long to celebrate, though.  Another Zeke had started to charge into him, and Sam had just a moment to move.  Triggereing the chest launcher, he fired off three Minovski-particle/Flash flares, and lit his jump thrusters,  moving skyward.  With the forward moementum, along with the confusion from the flares, the Zeke was easy pickings, and Sam didn't even have to fire a shot.  His Gundam crashed down on the target, sending it falling to it's back.  As it landed, Unit 3 sent an armored knee into the Zaku's lower abdomen, crushing the pilot's compartment.<br/><br/>"One more down, boss."  Sam called out, quietly.<br/><br/>There was another one, challenging the boss!  It had it's heat-axe up, ready to cleave into Unit 1, and Sam had only a second to bring his 100mm MG up, and fire.  Most of the shots went wide, but he hoped that at least a few would hit.  If it didn't result in an outright kill, the distraction would give the boss some time.<br/><br/>"Watch out, skipper!"  Sam yelled, for good measure.  "Off your left!"
