>>16201119Her defining moment as a Hellion war-
rior was her Trial of Grievance against Hellion Khan Asa
Taney for his ineptitude in handling a retaliatory attack on
Brim against the Cloud Cobras.
Taney, confident that none of his warriors could beat
him in an aerial dogfight, accepted Montose’s challenge.
Raina fought the khan with her Viper OmniMech. Nearly
every Hellion warrior considered her either mad or suicid-
al. She used her terrain to her advantage, however, jump-
ing from a tall sandstone peak in the Wick Steppes and
timing her jump to land on the tail of Taney’s fighter. As
the Viper slid off the out-of-control Visigoth, she unloaded
all of her weapons into the fighter’s spine. Her salvo crip-
pled the fighter and she jumped her ‘Mech clear before
Taney’s fighter clipped another peak and crash-landed. Though Montose was also injured from her Viper’s freefall,
she managed to crawl from her cockpit and stagger away.
