Phoenix Chronicles - Episode 3: Defense

Here it is, episode 3 of Phoenix Chronicles. Fun times NOT using global EQ, so I think I fixed the bleeding.

(BattleTech Genre Story)
The story continues after our heroine's mech is repaired. Something is brewing on the surface (0:00) and a scout helicopter is shot down by enemy fire (0:06). Enemy Mech's on the horizon, a lance of 5. Our heroine races to the radar room to see what's going on, her commanding officer orders her to the 'Mech Bay and make ready. Banshies are scrambled (Jet/space aircraft) while she is prepped to drop to the surface (0:38) (yes she was in space in Episode 2.) Our lass is not equipped to deal with 5 light Mech's however she is assisted by 2 heavy 65 tonners. The heavies themselves are sitting ducks for the the light and agile enemies. Banshies retreat now that the main defense can take care of things, giving her a chance to surprise the light 'Mechs as they chase the Banshies down. Suddenly, our lass jumps (1:06) from a dune and fires a salvo of missiles, crippling and force ejecting one enemy, now the battle is down to 4 versus 3. The heavies peal the lights apart. 4 down, 1 left and on the run (1:33). Too slow for the heavies to follow, but not fast enough to outrun our lass. She pursues, heavies support by firing long range missiles, hitting the leg of the enemy Mech and knocking him down (1:46). She catches up and takes a shot before the next missile completely destroys the 'Mech. She screams in the COM, "I GOT HIM BEFORE YOU DID!"

Stay tuned for Episode 4: "The Starport"

ENJOY! :D

Wow!

It's a very deep and grim track. I liked it. Very full. Good job!

I like it

Yet another of your creation is repeative, but
in this track i think the repeation is required, because it gives more depth to the song.

I love it!

I love all of yer music!!! Keep it up yaalll!

As a Mechwarrior/Battletech Fan...

I quite love this song, as well as the rest of the series. I feel it holds true to the root feeling that the game series was going for. The chant-ish tones portray that strong clan feeling associated with the pilots, and the rhythm maintains that militaristic feel. The voilin-esque notes play up the tension, and the long cello-ish notes combined with the subdued tones of the woman's voice bring about the firm certainty that seems to be the main quality of the heroine - as I see it at least - blending very well to paint the scene. Excellent work, I truly look forward to more of your works.

XD "I GOT HIM BEFORE YOU DID!!"

That was funny in the story.

ANYWAY: Great music, EPIC.
