Welcome to Gaia! ::

As Shira and Atticus entered the gigantic ship, they would hear alarms going off in the distance in the direction of the engine room. The corridors they were in now were practically empty. It seems many of the crew had been distracted by the crisis Trey was causing in the engine room. On the floor were painted arrows pointing in different directions. Apparently the ship was so massive even the crew got lost sometimes. "Bridge" was painted in bold red lettering next to an arrow pointing down one of the empty, steel corridors.

As Atticus and Shira continued down the corridor, they passed multiple open bulkhead doors leading to crew corridors, bathrooms and other miscellaneous rooms. As they were walking by one, a massive figure stepped out of the shadows. It had obvious been waiting to ambush them. It saw Shira first, swinging its massive machine gun towards her like a club. Even as he was attacking, a second one stepped around from the end of the corridor. It pointed its machine gun at her and opened fire, unleashing a torrent of high-powered bullets meant to shred her to pieces.

The first Steelforge Heavy that Shira dodged was riddled with bullets as the second one opened fire. Though his armor was full of bullet holes he didn't seem phased in the slightest. But, when Shira slashed at the other Heavy from behind she hit the tubes connecting his gas tank to his mask, severing them completely. The Heavy seemed to begin choking as strange gasping noises came from inside and he grabbed at his mask as if trying to pull it off. He fell to his knees, continuing to choke. Even as he did so, the other Heavy opened fire, hitting the first one multiple times as he aimed at Shira.

Feeling Shira let go of his hilt, Atticus would transform mid air and appear above the other Heavy. With his hands transformed into blades, Atticus unleashed a deadly barrage of sword slashes at the thing. His movements were so fast, it only seemed as though he slashed the Heavy once, but in reality it would be at least fifty slashes. Landing on the ground behind the Heavy, kneeling on one knee, Atticus sighed, "How about a little heads up the next time you throw me." he said to Shira as he didn't even think to look back at the monster, figuring that it would be done for.

Hearing the movement of the Heavy's machine gun, Atticus sidestepped casually out of the way of it's attack. Looking back at it, Atticus seemed disappointed, "You are weaker than I thought." he muttered as he then circled around the creature and slashed at it's neck or something that resembled a neck, attempting to decapitate it.

The Heavy took a few steps backwards as Atticus slashed at it. A thin line appeared across the heavy rubber guard covering its neck. More thick, black liquid began oozing out of the cut like the others. The Heavy didn't respond to Atticus's statement if it even understood what he said. This time it pulled back with its massive fist, aiming a slow but heavy swing towards his head. Although it was hard to tell exactly how big it was under the layers of armor, it was clearly extremely strong; able to lift the machine gun in one hand like it was a simple paperweight. As it swung, it lifted the machine gun up with its other hand, preparing to fire point-blank at Atticus.

"Damn it, why are you being so stubborn." Atticus asked as he swiped his sword once more, this time, aiming to slice of the the Heavy's machine gun and arm along with it. Encase it didn't succeed, Atticus would also unleash a powerful energy wave from his other blade and caused fly right at the Heavy's legs, trying severe them.
