Bolts cut through the air and struck the Ravager's side.
They sank into its thick hide.
The hits did not kill it, but they were enough to break its momentum.
The first Brute Ravager roared and leaned its full weight against the Krell Tank.
It tried to overpower the Tank with raw strength.
Cracks spread through the dirt from the impact, but the Tank held its ground.
Its feet dug into the soil as it locked itself in place.
The second Brute, staggered by the Scouts' bolts, recovered fast.
It lowered its stance and ignored the pain.
Then it exploded forward with a burst of power, shooting straight at Number Two.
The Krell Supervisor saw the attack coming.
It was not a simple rush.
It was a baited charge meant to force a mistake.
Number Two ran the options in an instant.
If it stepped back, it would lose ground.
If it blocked directly, it would get torn apart.
So it chose a third option.
"Redirect!"
Instead of dodging fully, it shifted its stance at the last moment.
