Taking a severe mauling, the Stealths' lighter 'Mechs were attempting to fall back but could not disengage from the fighting.  Coming in from the west, Lieutenant-Colonel Franks and her battalion finally caught up to the fighting and, surveying the battlefield before her, the Black Pearl ordered her unit to charge into the fray.  As the two heavyweight units clashed, churning the ground into mud and knocking over trees in their brawling, the survivors of the light battalions saw their chance to escape and withdrew under the covering fire of Franks and her unit.<ref name=HSTLC65/><ref name=HHS44/>

Franks and her unit continued to hold off the Combine forces from pursuing their wounded comrades, with the lieutenant-colonel herself positioning her 'Mech in a clearing so as to draw enemy fire.  In the wake of a missile barrage which left her shrouded in smoke, Franks' weapons fell silent until finally she emerged, her 'Mech pockmarked with battle damaged but its arms raised defiantly in challenge.  Like a scene taken straight from a holovid, the fighting around Franks died down, as if both sides sensed something important were about to happen.  A Combine ''[[Marauder]]'' approached, but in seconds was disabled with its legs destroyed by unerringly accurate fire from Franks.  Incensed by this, the rest of the assault battalion opened fire on Franks, creating a hellstorm of weapons fire which again shrouded her 'Mech in smoke.<ref name=HSTLC65/><ref name=HHS44/>

When the dust cleared, Franks' ''BattleMaster'' was still standing but severely damaged and decapitated.  Its pilot surely dead, the Combine battalion commander approached closer to the ruined ''BattleMaster'', standing in front of it in his ''[[Warhammer]]''.  Suddenly, the three surviving torso lasers on the ''BattleMaster'' fired straight into the [[cockpit]] of the ''Warhammer'', killing the commander and knocking his 'Mech to the ground.  Stunned disbelief gave way to fury as the rest of the Combine battalion focused their full attention on Franks' 'Mech - shooting it, tearing it apart and stomping the pieces into the ground to make sure it was dead - as the rest of the Stealths used to opportunity to fall back to safety.<ref name=HSTLC65/><ref name=HHS44/>
