mpbt5 audrey mortars

Tired of the silent stand-off, the two girls dashed forward together again. Audrey closed her eyes as to brace herself then flung her neckerchief up into the air. Four dozen 2-inch medium mortars appeared around her – some landing on the walkway and the rest on the lower platform. All forty-eight mortars fired as one and their 'toffee apple' bombs shot up into the sky of darkness above them. The hostile Puella Magi realized what Audrey had done and were abhorred.

Odious whistling came from the dark sky as the mortar bombs came crashing down upon all three of them.

Once the dust had settled, the violent trembling of the pathway calmed down. All three girls lay down on the floor, blackened and bruised by the falling bombs. Audrey groaned and realized that she was still alive. She had survived her risky gambit. To her dismay, the two Puella Magi who attacked her, survived as well.

Audrey wiped the blood and soot off her face then picked herself up from the floor. Her opponents, crippled by the bulk of Audrey's bombs, could do no more than roll over in pain. Should she finish them off?
