Prophet landed on the armoured glass of the VTOL’s cockpit and immediately started slipping off. He pulled his fist back and hammered it into the glass with all the power the suit could muster. He punched through the windshield and opened his fist. The now slightly misshapen grenade fell out of his hand and into the cockpit. Prophet slid off the front of the VTOL.
| The force of the explosions sent Prophet tumbling | |
| across the street into the side of a Bulldog LTV. There | |
| were more red warning signs from the suit. He was | |
| taking fire again. His speeded-up perception, provided | |
| by the suit’s systems, made the HMG tracer fire coming | |
| at him look like a slow and graceful arcing light show. | |
| Then further down the street, next to the burning | |
| brothel, three of the CELL APCs exploded. | |

| I live for this Psycho thought as he landed in the back | |
| of the Bulldog LTV. Air-stomping it. Hammering his | |
| power-assisted foot down so hard it broke the back of | |
| the vehicle’s chassis. Two of the six CELL troopers | |
| in the back of the Bulldog were catapulted out of the | |
| vehicle and into the street. | |

| Psycho grabbed one of the | |
| remaining CELL troopers and threw her across the | |
| street into a wall, hard enough to break her back. | |

| All around him the ground was being | |
| torn up and CELL troopers were literally exploding, | |
| victims of friendly fire, as one of the two remaining | |
| VTOLs tried to target Prophet with its cannon | |

Prophet increased his speed and power-kicked the Bulldog. The force of the kick slid the vehicle round more than ninety degrees and through the window of the mining supply store.

| Prophet grabbed a motorbike | |
| that had been lying on the ground and spun around, | |
| throwing it at the VTOL. The motorbike circled lazily | |
| through the air. The pilot added thrust, moving the | |
| VTOL sharply out of the way of the spinning machine. | |
| Prophet used the momentary distraction to disappear | |
| into the store. | |
| Crysis: Escalation, The Chance, Part 2 |
| Everyone was shooting at the mining supply store as | |
| Prophet scrambled through it. The threat tracer showed | |
| bullet trajectories all around him. It looked like a bullet | |
| was travelling through every square inch of air in the | |
| store. He could see tracer fire from HMGs and Mk | |
| 60s, then chunks of the ceiling exploded as another | |
| VTOL started firing down through the building. A | |
| grenade landed behind him and exploded. The force | |
| threw him into the air and through a wooden partition | |
| wall at the back of the shop. |
| An auto-cannon round staggered Psycho, put him | |
| on one knee. He had no idea where it had come from. | |
| The next one almost knocked him over. Only the fact | |
| that he was in armour mode saved him. He staggered | |
| sideways towards the wreckage of one of the APCs | |
| he’d blown up. Its armoured body would provide him | |
| with a modicum of cover. He continued firing the HMG. Mowing people | |
| down. He let it be known, through action, that anyone | |
| shooting at him would be killed. Anyone who wanted | |
| to run, could. |
| Psycho fired the grenade | |
| launcher as the APC fired its main cannon. The APC | |
| round hit Prophet’s gauss rifle and the weapon came | |
| apart in his hands while the huge round continued | |
| and hit him in the chest, just as he had re-activated | |
| armour mode. He was yanked off his feet and hit the | |
| ground, hard, and barely alive, despite the suit’s systems. | |
| Psycho’s grenade exploded in the back of the | |
| damaged APC. The spec ops team inside were now | |
| just so much red paint in the vehicle’s interior. |
