Welcome to Gaia! ::

The full armored figure flew into sight in the midst of it all trailing bits of the clouds it passed through, bursting into the heavens like an angel to wing. Shining body of steel, leaving not an inch of flesh exposed, a man of metal but for the armaments of battle worn about his its body. In it's left hand it bore a wall of steel, a shining shield of duty, and in the right bore a veteran blade, a sword of justice.

Zombot smashing JUSTICE.

"So here you've hidden, craven!" Whosoever this helmed figure was, you could practically feel the righteous fury and ego pour off of him, offended by the dastardly tactic of one with might who would not only hide away and send minions to fight his battle for him, but to take battle to one not a worthy adversary. The grimy clouds trailed behind his feet as they found purchase and rose in an inky backdrop to his rear, pronouncing his silvery gleam.

Like a Warrior of Yore, like a Paragon of Justice, a New Knight, like an Escapee of Happy Resting, the being simply seemed to glow with fanatic force of personality, shining steel face(mask) rising to the great mechanical master before him. Fearless he faced the foe, clad in his gapless plate full, sword, axe, and mace slung abut his waist, two great swords slung over his might back. In hand bore the wide shield and a sword chipped and chinked about it's length, though the fuller in it's center still shone amidst the rough, point broken off into a jagged end.

There was no doubt, no hesitation, no pause. There was only forward. Forward, forward for justice!

Even as he settled and gained balance he turned drawing the shield up before him.

"I proclaim-!"

His feet spread, the left in fore turning it's toe to his side and sliding forward, beginning to throw his weight ahead.

"-my challenge!"

Shoulders spun and the body turned, legs flinging his body forward into an assailing leap as the right arm spun ahead in place of the shield, sword rising with a flourish. Like the mighty hammer of Zeus the Veteran Sword spun and flew through the air, cleaving mist and clear in twain on it's course to rebuke the Metal Master squarely upon its crown.

"Have at you!"

With Athan elbowing the bone guy in the face, it would give Allen enough time to stand upright...just in time to throw himself back down to the ground to avoid the blast. That continuous blast would be draining energy, and from what he'd noticed...

Allen now had a plan, he just had to get close enough.

"Athan, other guy, keep him busy!"

Allen would resummon his sword as he began crawling across the ground towards the generator. And begin charging yet another blast of energy into his sword. If he could take out the generator, that should cripple the damned thing.

((Since it was asked for in the vent too:

Robot's about seven feet tall now, and is firing from about stomach level. Take that as you will.

It's also one beam spinning, not a ring of death. Thus likely it would hit Athan, then Xelhart depending on where he's at now, quite possibly go over Allen if he stay's down, and Kael would have lots of advance warning.))

"Yeah..."

Athan flashed a grin.

"I get that a lot."

Athan burst into a run, having the advantage of at least seeing the first blast coming. Athan may not have been able to deflect the incoming thing, but if he could just get his right side in the path of the blast...

Athan jumped to the left, the blast catching Athan in his right arm and shooting that portion of his body sideways. He almost lost his sword, hell, he almost lost his arm. The skin around his arm, the stuff that wasn't protected, sizzled and bubbled up in protest of the incredible heat.

Allen screamed orders, Athan acknowledged them insofar that it was his whole plan to begin with.

But he didn't, and he was still moving forward, even if he was slightly profile to the living turret while doing so. Athan took two more strides, corrected his stance, jumped into the air, and aimed to skewer the Director through the center of his chest just as he completed his spin, aiming to pin him in place.

Why would this pin him in place?

Well, his sword was being stabbed downwards, so it would enter and exit through the Director's back and chest before spearing into the tank treads that Athan was now standing on.

And while he had all that wonderful leverage he'd do the same thing he did to the first robo zombie he encountered this wonderful day. He'd attempt to rip the goddamn guy's head clean off. He stepped around to the Director's back, wrapped his left arm around the thing's "neck", and with his right, he came up over top his head, stuck his very judgemental fingers into his grinding, gnashing, sharp mouth, and pulled up and backwards.

Wait...what other guy?

What hint of eyes there was within the visor widened, and the noble Knight took to his Sheild of Duty's guardian embrace. Lifting the shield before him with most urgent of haste he put his freed hand to the wall and stood his ground.

For a moment.

"--hrrk!"

The beam caught the shield not quite cleanly- angled toward the warrior's unarmed right his guard withstood the blow even while his feet did not, spinning his body around and sending him sliding and twirling rearward.

Twirling, twirling, twirling toward freedom.

Digging in the balls of his feet, RoxSoKael stumbled and halted near the edge of the platform on which they stood.

"Hah!"

Taking his feet to balance again the Knight readied himself once more for the assault, rising the shield to his defense, both hands at ready to sturdy, leaning and making haste toward his foebot.

For a moment there was indecision as the spinning beam struck the shield, halting his advance in place, frozen and straining-

And then it ended and he was pressing forward, slowly against the beam, quicker when it turned its face from him again.

"Avast the charge! Ho!"

Hand to his belt he drew the handaxe from his side and charged behind his now glowing and smoldering Shield of Duty, feigning ignorance of the harm and burn phasing through unto his arm beneath, upon the great machine, intent upon being readied to strike it by the time it ceased it's rotation.

You know, Allen might not have eyes in the back of his head, but he was a former stealth assassin. Which meant he had all the instincts that went along with it, including a sense of when someone was sneaking up behind him.

Allen wouldn't be able to dodge the attack, really. No, instead he would just barely have time to roll to the side so it grazed him, and cut open his chest and shirt, luckily without hitting anything vital like his heart. Then one of his gauntleted hands wound grab Xehart's wrist and pull the man down with a sharp tug, letting the other hand and a foot move to shove Xehart away...and towards the edge, which Allen was already close to.

Hopefully the dead guy would be thrown off. As it was, the robot was now gone, and he would be three on one once things blew up.

"I could use some help here!"

((Well s**t))

Xehart's point would already be on the floor, meaning that when Allan grabbed his wrist, Xehart was already stabilized. Xehart allowed Allan to grab his wrist which had the spike in the ground, and as soon as Allan's hand was tied up with Xehart, he swung his free spike straight at Allan's face.

Allan had one of two choices at this moment, he could continue his swing into Xehart's body, which may or may not knock Xehart off the side, depending on how strong his spike held in the cloud layer, or he could chose to block Xehart's swing at his face.

Xehart in the mean time was preparing to loosen his bone armour and make a run. As soon as this attack was done, and hopefully Allan would make the choice to save them both rather than doom them both, Xehart would release his bone armour, and make a move for the closest exit. It looked like this situation was turning unfriendly.

It was about that time that the sky began to fall. Watch out Chicken Little. Xehart felt the platform began to give, and then looked at Athan, Kael, and then back to Allan. Soon they would hit the ground, and that would not be a pleasant experience in the least.
