[ The worm, unphased, continues its leisurely flight overhead, its underbelly glowing like Julai at night. Wolfwood, extremely fucking phased, spins slowly at an offcenter angle, craning his neck to keep the worm in sight at all times.
Okay. Okay. Bullets will certainly hurt worms -- he's shot them before, although the laser always worked better -- but he can't shoot more than a single round without drifting off and losing his target. So he gets one shot, is that how this is gonna work? One bullet won't do anything unless the big bastard's got a hole in it's armor underneath... and he's sure not seeing any gaping holes in all that glow. How can he kill something that big with one shot?
...Oh, and then he remembers. Two clicks on Punisher's gear selects the ordnance he wants, and he doesn't even bother swinging it back up over his shoulder, instead just angling his whole body to point the short end at the worm.
You're gonna love this bit, pal! ]
Fire in the hole!
[ A little squeeze, and the rocket blasts free, hitting the storm worm in the belly dead on. The thing bellows loud enough to shatter the windows in the orphanage below, and veers off to the left, twisting that enormous bulk and diving into the first patch of free sand it can find. The gravity effects, the hail, the rain... all that will vanish with it once it finds the safety of the deep sands.
Wolfwood doesn't see any of this happen. Wolfwood's sent spinning backwards by the recoil of the rocket, and flies out of range of the worm's antigrav field into the muddy darkness beyond. ]
