The Y flux bomb exploded in front of the gunship, and every member had fired once including McLane and retreated 50 feet into the brush.
"I think we damaged one of their front air intakes," Jack said as he fired his blaster. He had not had time to remove his plasma rifle from his shoulder. You could see the dark burned area at the air intake that contrasted with the metallic blue paint.
"Good, then it will take me another 20 seconds," McLane fired his plasma rifle. "To energize the cannons" They retreated another 50 feet into the bush, looked up, fired at the gunship. The second eruption of plasma cannon fire erupted as the gunship started to move in their direction. McLane fired a second shot from his location then retreated over 100 yards. Over the radio net he ordered his men to cease-fire.
The gunship continued to move toward their location. McLane turned to Jack, "All right now!"
By remote control Jack launched the Y flux bombs as the gunship moved over the reloaded launcher they had left at the edge of the brush. One last flash of the gunship's cannon went completely off target burning a 40 meter wide swath of bush and then into the air as two Y flux bombs exploded at almost point blank range to its under side.
