The explosion was far more than she expected. The blast wave caused the young witch to be blown back and even disorient her. Jana looked around trying to get her surroundings when the beam came at her. She managed to throw her shield up, a proud Celtic one, to defend herself. It worked, but her MG wasn't so lucky. It's barrel disintegrated in the wake of the beam. “FUCK!” the angry witch yelled, throwing the useless weapon at an incoming drone, knocking it down before using her Browning Hi Power to finish it off.

The weapon was a gift from the Flandrean witch who was training with her. The same witch was vaporized by a Neuroi beam on day 4 of the invasion. Jana could see the young girl's gentle smile as she squeezed off every 9mm round, using her waning magic to give each round enough of a punch to kill the cubes that surrounded her. Every shell casing scraped her face as she fired away, the hot brass sizzling when it grazed the tears that were streaming. The radio was now dead, as was most of Ostmark command now. Oberleutnant Jana Kastner was the only member of the Ostmark Luftwaffe that was still in the airspace. Every other object in the air was an alien gunning for her.

She only had 14 rounds left. She managed to dive in order to avoid the drones. Jana could count the needles on the pines as she flew at tree level. Jana  knew she didn't have enough magic left make it to Karlsland.  The skies were still aflame from the burning cities and aliens, ruining any chance of her navigating back. While thinking about how her outlook was grim, she saw it.

This Neuroi was much different from the others she saw, it looked liked it wasn't designed for combat. It wasn't laying wast to the town, but it was far too large to be another drone. Jana knew that 14 shots would only work if she used all of her magic. The end was already here, but the Oberleutnant wanted one final kill. Jana closed her eyes briefly, pausing to make up her mind. The faces of her family, friends, and more recently comrades. As she opened her green eyes she could see what was left of all of them. The gray wastes of a land once full of life, fires raging where wheat would have been reaped in a few weeks, and finally the black storm that the red and black monsters poured from.

The Fw 56 striker unit roared as the young witch poured her magic into it. She then raised her firearm directly at the growing target. One of her green eyes closed as she focused on it. The first squeeze was wasted, being done only to see if the aim was true. The small spark on the hexagon verified it. Jana began to fire her enhanced rounds, causing massive puffs of dust on the beast. “12, 11, 10, 9” the witch said to herself as she fired the last of the bullets in an attempt to avenge it all. “1!.”, the last of the bullets finally crashed into the target, but there was no explosion. Kastner wouldn't slow down, she grabbed the gun's barrel and decided to pistol-whip the monster if she had to.

That's when an instinct kicked in that not even in her focused state she could avoid. A wide beam came at her, causing her to use her shield in one last stand. The force was too much and caused the witch to come to a standstill. The brunette girl, only 5 days ago a cheerful lass who was shopping in what's now a burned out husk, began to fall. The magic engine drained magic reserves. The safety-cutoff causing her to plummet through the branches of the trees. Only luck was the reason that she didn't die once the girl hit the bottom. In retrospect, it probably wasn't luck considering her fate.
