PART 3- RED SHOULDER


A stranger comes to town, claiming to be one of the infamous Red Shoulder Battalion members and issuing a challenge in the Battling Arena.  The Red Shoulders were an elite Gilgamesh division-  it seems implausible that one of their kind could escape the military and go rogue...


Quinn sees the challenge as  an entertainment opportunity that he can't pass up, and a match is set:  the Red Shoulder against Aisha in her Fatty, Murphy in his Wild Ox, and one of the Battling regulars in a Standing Tortoise.


The Red Shoulder's opening volley is devastating, and the Standing Tortoise pilot flees the arena.   Murphy is suddenly afflicted by visions  of fire and red shoulders advancing... is it a flashback, or just a nightmare?


Quinn decides to step in personally and runs to the AT hangar to get his personal AT, a Berserga.   Meanwhile the others make the best of the cover in the arena as they try to advance on the deadly foe.


Finally Quinn, Aisha and Murphy manage to pin the Red Shoulder down, resulting in a draw.   Perhaps this Red Shoulder was just an impostor?   The battle is over... for now.
