Corporal Du'kat grinned in her cockpit, while staring down the assault mech twice her size, a taunting tone to her voice, "You know why buddy boy?"
"Don't know, don't care ya little shit, cause it's gonna be your grave regardless!" Snarled her opponent, as he charged forward weapons blazing, the lumbering assault mech opening with a missile barrage from every launcher he had, fully intending to scrap the smaller scout in an instant.
Nozomi smirked, then gunned her jets in an arc around him. The thrusters angled not to jump, so much as send up a wall of water and muck behind her. "One, it's great for screwing with thermal tracking." As the now mud coated missiles twisted and veered about, the lead ones detonating into the swamp itself. Which of course kicked up more muck into the next ones, leading to a trail of blasts behind her.
"Two, swamp gas." The skim across the swamp continued with a smaller barrage of inferno warheads fired right at the larger mech's legs. Normally the missiles would have been an annoyance at best to something its size. More so given that she aimed where the heat sinks weren't. Until the smaller fireballs they generated suddenly became much, much larger. An explosion erupting under her target that sent even its bulk staggering forwards, and further into the swamp.
"Three, idiots like you who don't watch their step." Her mech came to a stop behind her foe. And the smile on her face grew when the weight of that hundred tonner sent it sinking straight down, the previous blast having stirred the swamp into a slurry.
"You little, fucking, brat!" The enemy pilot tried to turn his torso to face her as legs sank under, but Nozomi just casually strolled right back out of his firing arc.
"Four, reeeeeally good heat dissipation." The feline cackling over the comm as she braced herself to fire.
And the last thought that pilot had as he stared at the sensor feed was, "How the FUCK did she get those on that?" Right before the dual arm mounted coilguns tore through thinner back armor to his reactor.
"That's for scratching the paint asshole."
"DU'KAT!" Barked her operator over the comm. "We just detected a massive blast in your sector. What did we say about engaging?"
Nozomi said with a tease, "Engagement? What engagement?" Then under her breath, "Five, hiding the evidence."
"I heard that Nozomi." Another sigh over the comm, "Just get back already, and next time you pull a stunt like this? I'm sending your ass to the badlands, and you can bake under that fur."
