Varan vs rockets

Because the 30mm shells had been ineffective, Kip quickly called up the menu and switched over to the rockets. The Raptor carried a soupcon of various missiles, all of them armor-piercing. Under the Raptor's wings, four rocket pods containing fifty projectiles each dropped out of their protective bays.

Kip aimed at Varan through his HUD and, when the targeting computer signaled that he had a lock, he depressed the trigger.

Dozens of rockets lanced out of their pods and streaked toward Varan, trailing fire. One by one, the rockets struck the creature, detonating upon impact. Clusters of tiny explosions riddled Varan's tortured body. Finally, as the last few projectiles were fired, the creature began to lose altitude.

Though there was no way to be sure, Kip believed that Varan had finally been hurt. It was time to press the attack. As he guided the Raptor into position, Kip calculated their altitude. Man and monster were less than a thousand feet from the ground.
