The battle was held on Mirage.
The match was halfway through, and most everyone was fielding mediums/heavies.
VTOLs and ASF flashed across the sky, but AA from both sides were keep the other side suppressed.
I'd managed to work my way up to piloting an MRM Catapult (which I am in love with) and was working my way up to the battleline, which moved from halfway across the map towards the enemy's outpost.
Up ahead on scanners, I see two friendly 'mechs holing up in the city, with three unknown enemy blips waiting outside the walls. I pushed the Cat to its limits to reinforce my allies inside the city. Upon entering the walls, I see that the two friendly mechs were a Warhammer and a Thanatos, and probably didn't need my help. However, the scanner showed the three enemy blips outside as two heavies and an armored unit.
Both sides was waited for the other to move. The foe outside would encircle and slam my allies if they stepped outside of the gates, and my friendlies both had their weapons trained onto the entrance to the outpost.
I had to break the stalemate before the enemies called for air support. Quickly mentally gauging distance and luck, I JJ over the wall and land not 15 meters away from a Loki, who was surprised to see me and didn't immediately fire.
His mistake.
His inaction allowed me to center my reticule on his upper CT and unleash 80 MRMs into his already worn armor. He went down hard.
The other heavy, a Warhammer, began wailing on my left torso with AC10s and his own MRMs. Sensing that I couldn't win that battle, I ran for the gate.
While my Catapult revved up to maximum speed, an enemy Demolisher rolled out from behind a rock and added his shells to the others that beat on my rear torso.
There, as I instinctively switched my radar to Passive, to help prevent LRMs, I realized that I might not make it to the gate, but there was nothing I could do to help it.
I breathed a prayer and hoped for the best.
What must have been years later, autocannon rounds still beating on my now fragile rear torso, I rounded the corner around the gate and past the friendly heavies.
Fortunately for them, the enemy units seemed to have forgotten that two heavy 'mechs waited for them behind the wall and barged through the gate to catch me: who appeared to be an easy kill.
To make matters worse, I quickly, or as quickly as a Catapult will, turned around and JJ up and over the wall again, all the wall throwing MRMs into back armors and confusing the hell out of the pilots. That skirmish was over quickly.
Overall, it wasn't necessarily an epic battle, but I found what happened to be incredibly amusing, especially blowing the Loki to bits when he didn't know that I existed until he blanched when he found out that I did.
