It had been only a couple of weeks since Kirien's last battle as she had time to repair the damages and get a new Carbonium Katana for GRMLD-ATLS. Upon her return to school though, she had met up with a new student who seemed extremely capable with machinery as she did. With a heart of showmanship and the thrill of another inventor at her school, she publically issued out a challenge to the young inventor named Netami. In front of the students named Aya, Periwinkle, and Scarlet of all people. Her words were, and I quote: "Those machines look very cool! They let you keep two of them?! I want to see what they're made of! I officially challenge you to a Mechanic's showcase battle blitz! An old Atlesian Machinist Duel to test out whose machine is better than the others! You cannot back down!" Oh boy did she shout them loud enough that later, she even got the arena set up with a large wrestling ring. It was reinforced to handle the heavy machinery and durable enough to take the punishment with the two main controllers on the outside of the ring. At one of the arena ends, there was a large commentary table that seated three people as Kirien had arrived first, with a press of her button her Machine came flying down on the haphazardly put together Locker Jetpack. It landed on the ring with next to no damage before the lockers fell off to the side, remaining in the ring as her suit activated. She picked up a microphone as GRMLD powered on and into Battle mode. "I want to thank you again for accepting this battle Neta, but I'm going to go all out with GRMLD-ATLS! Don't you dare think of trying to hold back on me!" She told her with a wide grin. On her person, she still kept her main weapons incase Netami wanted to get personal.

‖ Who: A random student‖Thoughts: Weird ‖‖Ambiance: End of Innocence‖Profile‖System Loading... Herja Activated ‖ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Netami had been minding her business, her head in her scroll, when her attention was pulled by a yelling boom. She looked up to see a very short girl eying her down, screaming about how the Herja Twins looked cool, and inquiring that the school allowed Netami to keep both. There's a rule against it, Netami thought as she looked to both of the sleek bots. Multiple eyes were suddenly on them both, and Netami grew jittery. Why was this person being so public and rude? The answer came instantly as the student finally issued a duel. If Netami had seen the other's machine, she would have already concluded easily that it would have won. Netami's were more humanoid, used in fighting mostly regular, but also large Grimm on some occasions. How could they harm a larger machine that was practically the size of a bodybuilder? Still, to get eyes off of her, Netami nodded once, quickly and decisively agreeing to this Atlesian Machinist Duel. When those around her finally moved on, she let out a shaky breath, clutched her scroll, and walked away.
She had nothing to supe up her bots with, and so Netami did very little before the set date of combat. She entered the arena just as she watched the purple haired student's bot descend from the sky. A jetpack? This other student was flashy, Neta thought, but recognized putting a propulsion system on the Herja Twins would be fortuitous. Perhaps she could trade, or retrieve schematics from this student for her own gains. Netami's reddish-orange eyes turned to the student's bodysuit with electric stripes going in every direction. Did her robot not have an AI guidance system? Or was it simply too clunky regardless of one? Time would only tell, as she hadn't done any true research on them. Netami had done one thing, at least, before the battle: learn the challenger's name. Kirien Shockcollar and her bot GRMLD-ATLS. Neta walked further into the arena as she listened to Kirein thank her for coming, and how she wouldn't hold back. Netami was sure she would have to be cleaning up one, or both, Herja's very soon.
Stepping to the opposite side of the wrestling ring, hoping it was where she was supposed to stand, she looked over both bots before clicking her tongue. "Battle protocol, please," she said, watching as both of them hunched over on all fours. They could stand and move like normal humans, it was simply to make their surface area harder to hit so close to the ground, and make it easier to lunge up with their talon-like claws. She nodded, happy with their efficiency, and they crawled into the ring, standing at opposite sides of GRMLD-ATLS. They waited patiently, far enough apart to keep the giant bot off kilter, but Netami didn't think that would work as well with this fight seeing as there was another set of eyes to keep track of the moving parts. Regardless, they continued on all fours, set apart, waiting to be thrust into combat.
Let the robot fight begin! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kirien's eyes gazed upon the female as she ordered her bots into battle mode. Her eyes were glazed with stares as she saw them hunched over like animals and crawled into the ring before she giggled. She spoke one last time. "Alright then, let's get this started!" She shouted before she tossed the mic out of her left hand, the GRMLD following her movements as the lefthand's fingers clicked loose and folded open to reveal four barrels. Learning from her last experience, she needed to test out her opponent's units and had opted to once again, replace ATLS's bullets with paintballs. It was less deadly, and this time more for fun as she pointed her left hand forward, her Scroll headset projecting GRMLD's view to her in a semi-transparent screen. Soon enough, the bullets began to fly in full-automatic fire. She made sure to alternate the paintball gunfire between the two robotic animals.
In her mind, she was having fun but she was mentally analyzing the dog's forms as even though she switched to paintballs to avoid tearing machines to shreds, the damage of impact was something that would never be removed so each bullet could still hit and dent as seen with the floor of the Stage as a few stray shots out of the 20 bullets hit it and coated it with a vibrant blue color. 'The designs of the her machines are indeed human, so I could slow their movements down by hitting the joints, kinda hard to aim with all four barrels not focused in a straight line.' She mentally thought to herself before GRMLD started to move while firing, it's right arm moving with Kirien's right arm to brace the left arm, as it tried to move the hand quickly to focus fire with some of the 20 bullet hail as it followed along the rope wall, each step a resounding 'DWANG! DWANG! DWANG!' A sign of the shock-absorbers for his feet working nicely.

‖ Who: Kirein‖Thoughts: Weird ‖‖Ambiance: End of Innocence‖Profile‖System Loading... Herja Activated ‖ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Netami's ear twitched below her blue cap as Kirein yelled to start. She was very excited, something Neta didn't fully comprehend, and she wondered where all that energy was stored. Despite her small size, Netami could see her through the ropes of the ring as she threw her microphone. As if mimicking her, GRMLD-ATLS did the same. Neta's brow quirked and the Herja's were already on the move. The suit must have been her form of connection to the robot, Neta pieced together. She didn't have a grain like Netami, she instead placed herself squarely into combat. Kirein couldn't always have it on, so GRMLD-ATLS had to have some sort of piloting AI system. Fine tune control, he must have been clunky otherwise, or there would be no reason for the suit. If Netami distracted Kirein with combat, GRMLD-ATLS should fall. Was that against the rules?
The Herja Twins sped across the ground like spiders, their body and limbs moving erratically as they ran, as if they were dancing, to do their best to dodge the blue paintballs. It wasn’t too crucial, seeing as she had to alternate her fire, which gave good distance for whichever wasn’t being assaulted by bullets. One of the Twins was not so lucky, it’s movements jolted as its back calf sprayed with blue. It was unlucky enough to be out in the open compared to the other, who burst into a gallop. It was the first to reach GRMLD-ATLS, trying to sweep the giants legs from underneath it. Herja should have realized the giant had shock stabilizers, and wondered how much force it needed to topple, but it didn’t come to mind before its powerful legs pushed its heavy body upward quickly. Its nails aimed for the things neck, trying to take it off guard with firing. It didn’t seem to have any exposed wires, but the neck was always a weak point for creatures, even the robots who were put on display for their masters recognized it.
The first Herja finally got its footing, a portion of its left arm decompressing to reveal a gatling gun, of sorts. A hail of its own bullets began to spray, giving the second Herja a possible speedy exit. It grabbed the rope and darted between them after returning to the ground, trying to get out of danger of friendly fire and repercussions from GRMLD-ATLS. It’s body sailed through the thin rope, using it like some form of gymnastics, before maneuvering its body back through the rope several feet away. At any time GRMLD-ATLS could have grabbed a hold of its arm to stop the movement, but Neta hoped that the robot didn’t have fine tuned control if it had a pilot, and thus didn't have the range of motion her smaller ones did. It was a big gamble, one she couldn’t calculate would pay off, and as the first Herja began to reload after the minimal 10 shots, the second’s panel on its right arm decompressed but nothing happened. Was it charging for something? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kirien's eyes synced with the GRMLD-ATLS's ocular sight as she watched from two views on the movements of the Herja Twins and their erratic movement. 'They're fast!' They were dancing among the bullet rain before she managed to land a solid hit with the paintball. However, she had to pay the price of landing a hit by the fact it was only one of them whose's legs got clipped by the bullets. 'He got that close?!' She screamed in her mind, slightly panicked before she shook her head. The other one had managed to close the distance enough to sweep and slam it's legs into the heavy machine's armored shins. It definitely left a small dent with plenty of scuff on it before Kirien's hand flicked. Just as the final paintball was shot, the barrels unclicked and were parting just as the beast turned and lunged at GRMLD's neck. Kirien brought her right hand up and used her left arm, creating a defensive stance as the Nails dug into the armor. Due to the lack of aura, it rended the steel slightly, leaving identifying marks just as the bullet hail started to come. The gears whirred as Kirien caused the ATLS to use the booster as the melee twin began to leap away. It caught up quickly as Kirien reached out, aiming to grab it's arm. "Oh you're not going to get away that easy! Not after scuffing my armor!" Kirien stated with a joyful smile on her face.
The boost was to indeed catch up but to avoid at least half the bullets as some did hit the steel plating armor but if the ATLS managed to get ahold of the Herja's arm as it was grabbing ahold of the rope, Kirien would guide it's right hand quickly to the sheathed katana in the left side and draw it to slash and promptly throw it at the other Herja. Sure, she used paintball bullets, but there was no going around the fact she had it equipped with a legitimate Katana designed for the suit that had just been fixed! But what was more surprising, was the fact the entire torso moved to match Kirien as if it was only having a nanosecond's worth of delay!

‖ Who: Kirein‖Thoughts: Weird ‖‖Ambiance: End of Innocence‖Profile‖System Loading... Herja Activated ‖ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Netami's eyes left the fight for a moment, allowing the bots to do what was best, as she watched Kerien. She seemed to be a little nervous, shaking her head out of her reverie as one of the Twins got close to her robot. The crunching of metal on metal twanged out into the room, and Netami wondered if her nerves melded into GRMLD-ATLS. Was the suit only for bodily movement, or did the robot have some form of empathy connection to the wielder? It would have been an insufficient design, Netami conceded. The bots were there to protect, that was for certain, but they were not there to feel what their master's felt. If they did, then it was only a matter of time that they would falter in their objectives to protect rather than attack. All it would take would be an enemy holding a knife to the master's throat. It would halt all functions just to try to save the creator, rather than continuing on like that was not a piece on the chess board. Kerien looked competent, regardless of her height, and Netami wiped the thought away.
Netami's eyes flicked back to the fight as she saw Kirien raise her arm in a block. Herja's sharp claws ruptured the metal that GRMLD-ATLS was made of, leaving potent scarring on the robot's arm. Netami miscalculated, it seemed, as GRMLD-ATLS boosted itself forward, giving itself extra speed to capture the second Herja in its grasp. How many times could it use the booster, she thought. That meant her previous determination wasn't wholly incorrect. It didn't have such fine tunement as Herja, but it could compensate well. Neta's left ear twitched as Kirien yelled out, surprisingly in joy, as she grabbed ahold of Herja. Regardless of how fast they moved, there was no way for Herja to dodge such a quick attack! The bot made no noise as a superficial cut scraped against its steel chest plating, there not being enough distance from the sheath and robot to cause strenuous damage. It interested Netami, who had not thought of giving any weapon to the Twins before.
The worse thing Kerien could have done was throw Herja back towards its twin. As the Twin sailed toward its opposite, Netami commanded the first to get onto its legs properly. The momentum upwards, and the quickness that GRMLD-ATLS had thrown Herja made all the difference. The charged shot that was being stored was ready, and the goal now was to get dangerously close. Their hands clasped each other's arm as the first Herja spun its marred sibling around, they looking like a spinning top. On their revolution around, the second Herja's weight shifted as it plowed its feet into the ground, aiming toward GRMLD-ATLS and firing a purple augmented aura shot. If it hit, the giant bot's weight would shift upward as the gravity dust melded out around it. As quickly as the shot was fired, the first Herja was unleashed forward, it aiming to squelch its long talons into GRMLD-ATLS' dented right leg superficially. Instead of stopping its momentum, which would have been impossible with the original GRMLD-ATLS throw and the spin from Herja's power coupled together, it would point its legs toward the sky. It wouldn't get far up even if GRMLD-ATLS was floating, seeing as no momentum in the world could keep something so heavy up in the air forever, and Herja came tumbling down, its claws aiming for the enemies exposed back neck and back plating. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kirien's eyes were focusing for the moment, having launched the Herja back to the twin as the other seemed to react accordingly. 'What the?' She thought before they soon began to spin, her eyes focused and she knew that GRMLD-ATLS had to be moving, so while grasping the katana with both hands, she moved the Machine off to the side, taking the moment as her eyes adjusted, the singular ocular sight of her mech being able to focus just as she saw a purple glint. At that moment, a devious, yet INGENIOUS PLAN came into fruition! She prepared herself and as the bullet fired, she turned to the side, letting it graze and scar the metal around the abdomen and waist as she clenched her teeth. '3 days tops to repair all this damage!' She thought but as a purple hue came around the machine, her plan had worked. Without taking serious damage that would compromise a key part of the machine, it began to float up.
At the same time, the first one began to lunge once more, this time at the leg, but Kirien shouted out. "Time to test out space mode!" She shouted with joy, it was something she always wanted to try, but she never got the large gravity dust to help with it and at that moment, the thrusters activated, launching it up fast and quickly into the air as it pointed it's left hand down. "Awwww yeah! It may be temporary! But making this machine light was a bad play!" She commented for herself as she giggled before she aimed her arm, looking through the machine's vision and calculating the aim before choosing the Herja to focus on. It was the one who fired the shot as she unloaded from the air with another barrage of paintball bullets. Who knew how long it would last, maybe just for the moment? If that was the case, she had to make sure his legs were aimed at the ground to keep the shock absorbers in check as she alternated her aims to keep the Herja's moving to make way for a landing once it wore off. Another hail of 20 paintball bullets came flying down at both of the Herja's at once, this time with control over the X-axis and the Y-AXIS!

‖ Who: Kirein‖Thoughts: Weird ‖‖Ambiance: End of Innocence‖Profile‖System Loading... Herja Activated ‖ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Netami frowned as she watched Herja go flying out of the ring. GRMLD-ATLS had yet another trick up its sleeve in the form of thrusters. The jetpack from earlier must have just been there to utilize already built in features. Neta winced as Herja catapulted into, and dented backwards, a couple rows of seats in the auditorium. It's light steel would protect it from the blunt collision with the felted seats, and it was back up on all fours without a moment's notice. It began to move quickly and silently, the dull white carapace out of eyesight from Kirien, but not yet from GRMLD-ATLS, and Neta's ear twitched as she was addressed. A bad play? The robot was floating slightly over the ropes of the ring, even with the thrusters keeping it up, and Netami wondered how much more of a target it was in the air- thrusters be damned. One good shot, one good claw strike, and it would change GRMLD-ATLS' trajectory enough that its thrusters couldn't save it when it did crash to the ground. She would have to get close again first, she thought, trying to calculate the best pattern to do so. The Herja out of the ring was moving quickly, but it wasn't able to achieve top speed as it kept its body as close to the ground to stay out of sight. That left the Herja within the ring with all attention on it. Was she going to have to sacrifice one to give a better rate of success to the other?
The wounded Herja in the ring activated when the whirring of a weapons lock began. Neta gritted her teeth, commanding Herja to get as close to GRMLD-ATLS as possible, trying to stay out of the trajectory of bullets. It wasn't fast enough, how could it be, and blue sprayed across Herja's arms as it protected its face. Reprieve came when GRMLD-ATLS alternated its arm toward where it thought the other Herja was outside of the ring. Aiming upward, Herja unloaded 10 bullets localized to one side of the opponent, aiming for the shooting arm. With the null gravity making the thrusters work overtime to keep GRMLD-ATLS from being pushed backward from the propulsion of its weapon, it would make sense they wouldn't be able to adjust so quickly to keep the thing leveled toward the ground. The dust Herja had used wasn't powerful, by all means the giant robot should fall in only a few moments. Herja could easily move out of the way when it did come tumbling down to the earth, and Neta hoped Herja could yet again crawl onto the tough metalled robot and skewer it. It was time to stop relying, however, and Neta ordered after the reload clicked into place to charge a shot. Netami wasn't a participant in this fight, she had aura to give, and if Herja's sharp talons couldn't pierce GRMLD-ATLS, it was damned sure a shot that could cause a shockwave of damage would.
The second Herja continued to move as high propulsion paintballs thwapped through the seats above and around it. Its steel claws jutted into the ground, giving itself more leverage to move a few inches faster, as it headed around the ring. Where it had flown was in between Netami and Kirien, and, from what it looked like, it was headed toward Neta's side. It would be a dirty move to attack Kirien without first establishing such rules. If Netami hadn't been in school, and instead with her villain acquaintances, she would have taken the opportunity. With it's hidden movements towards Neta's side, it would have required GRMLD-ATLS to turn its body completely 180, and a bit higher, to accurately pierce Herja's carapace. It began charging another shot, angling its body and getting slightly closer, so it would only take a small sprint and leap to get back into the ring, ready to try to destroy the hard carapace that surrounded GRMLD-ATLS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kirien could see the Herja that was trying to tackle the GRMLD-ATLS fly by from it's missed tackle, and as she was firing her 2nd set of 20, dwindling her ammo down to 560 bullets. But she was keeping track of it and saw the 2nd Herja proceed to change its position after taking a couple of bullets. She tried the thrusters buy they fizzled, making her realize that they had overheated and we're cooling down. She mentally cursed. 'Damn, I didn't think I used it that much. Must've been more strenuous on you than I thought.' She thought to herself before she noticed the gunarm of the Herja as it began to fire. She moved the barrel up after the 20th bullet was fired to block and keep the ocular vision intact as it grazed along the metallic frame. The impact of the bullets though did misbalance the unit as Kirien's eyes focused. It was beginning to spin backwards and that would leave it prone on its back.
'If he falls onto his back, he's finished against this duo! Think!' She mentally screamed before she remembered the katana in her hand. As he fell Kirien noticed one of the arms beginning to decompress. The memory of earlier playing in her mind before she smirked. She understood, the dust faded and it was beginning to decend. She brought her right hand up and swung down. Driving the entire weight of the machine into a downward slash that missed the speedy Herja. Kirien's visor vanished as her determined eyes stared as she watched the Herja move and mount. A quick claw to the slightly guarded abdomen as the claws scratched the carapace. Followed by a hard slash at the mid-back but as it was moving up to mount and aim for his neck. Kirien's mind found a new focus. 'That is what he would do...' She thought before the barrels unclasped to release the hand as she swung her arm up and towards the neck quickly. She and her machine were insync and while it was hard for her to move the legs, if she landed the grab she would throw it as hard as she could to the turnbuckle and precisely against the steel pole considering it's slender size. She had to move as she knew right now, he would be a sitting duck as she didn't know where the other one was. She remembered her fight and was now mimicking the ideal of Lyosha, and fought on the instincts of a machinist rather than a warrior. She couldn't release the katana and even if she failed in the initial grab, she would use the machine's unique body to lift the blade while on its knees to strike at it's sides with a wide swing to help cover moving to a knee. 'They're becoming... Easier to read.' She thought as the moment she got him on one leg, she would use it to speed the process of getting up into a quick move to avoid getting shot at again.

Aya woke up from an alarm clock she set up for herself after taking a small nap mid-day, she slowly opened her eyes and turned It off with a yawn “oh that was a good rest, I better start preparing myself for the fight that starts in approximately half an hour” she told herself with a smile before looking at her scroll and her eyes flew open as she quickly jumped from her bed and dressed up ’ HOW DID I MANAGE TO SLEEP THROUGH 8 ALARM CLOCKS!?!? THE FIGHT ALREADY BEGUN!! the fox mentally yelled at herself as she quickly dressed up with her battle suit and rushed to the ring Kirien made specifically for this fight, oh she is going to kill her for sure. Once she finally got to the ring she could already hear the clashing of metal and the excitement flowing through the ring, the smell of iron and oil was all too strong for her nose which luckily Kirien set a special room just for her to sit in, she was after all supposed to be some sort of announcer for this fight. And there she was, all settled in her comfy room and finally had a second to look at the fight, the girl tilted her head with a smile as she noticed a familiar face other than Kirien ’ now that’s a face I didn’t see in a while’ Aya thought to herself before picking up the microphone and with extra excitement flowing through her tail she started speaking “is this thing on? Ok good, it is, Ahem… welcome to the amazing battle between two engineers and their amazing robots that totally didn’t already start while I was still sleeping! A fight between the lollies and their mechs! Kirien and GRMLD against Netami and her Herja twins! May the best engineer win and don’t forget this is a friendly fight in the end, so no matter what happens in the ring will only stay in the ring. Now I would have given you the countdown to start the fight but since I was super late… let the fight continue! I think…” Aya finally turned off the microphone for now and watched the match, announcing can’t be done without actually knowing what on earth is going on right? ❄. tabLOCATION . . . a fighting ring made by Kirien! tabtab❄. tabCOMPANY . . .

Widget had spent the majority of her time between classes since the Alpha mission jumping between the workshops in the Weapon Maintenance and Cybernetics classes when they were available. It hadn't been long following her talk with the weapon teacher that she got the new base for her suit. As expected, it had needed extensive modifications, especially with the cockpit as it was designed to fit an average adult and was significantly larger than Widget was. She needed the tools in Cybernetics to modify the suit itself and the tools in weapons to calibrate and tinker with the weapon systems, The new base though had more plating to it than the original as she hadn't needed to compromise on price due to it being a replacement issued by the school. So, she had that as a nice little benefit. She'd only recently got everything moving after refitting the cockpit to fit her much smaller frame. It made moving between the locations much easier and now, she was working on trying to set up an electrical defense grid on the suit, though, it would take a while to balance the division of power, activation mechanism, shutoff, overrides, failsafes, safety systems, and do so in a way that wouldn't compromise the plating or frame too much.
She'd been on her way to the cybernetics room in the suit when she'd heard some commotion about a robotic duel. She was too busy at the moment to really engage with it at all, but, she was glad she'd managed to finish up her current task in time to actually spectate. She'd looked up the one who issued the challenge and had done a non-invasive minor hack just to get the current locational information in order to find out where they were. She was late it seemed, and one of the others that had been in the area had shown up and was commentating...to...well...no one really. Still, Widget was intrigued and wondered what she could glean from this exchange by watching.

‖ Who: Kirein‖Thoughts: Weird ‖‖Ambiance: End of Innocence‖Profile‖System Loading... Herja Activated ‖ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Neta would be lying if she said she didn't have a smirk on her features as she watched GRMLD-ATLS float off kilter. The thrusters couldn't over compensate for the force, and she heard a fizzle and putt as they failed. Herja began to move, its legs already braced to do so, and it tore away from the landing zone, missing the katana crashing into the ring. Herja's feet skidded backward, it rising to the balls of its feet as it did so, and screamed toward the giant robot. It's sleek, long steel nails jutted uncomfortably into GRMLD-ATLS' belly. Of course naturally squishy humanoids would give more armor around the stomach of a robot, Neta thought as the scratches of metal melted into the room. They couldn't naturally solidify the flesh around their own features without heavy armor and aura, but as humanoids they still thought that area was the kill-spot. Netami fell right into that thought process instead of attacking a more vulnerable area on the bot. Herja used the momentum to sink to the back of GRMLD-ATLS, gouging and crunching metal in a less guarded area. It would have hit again, slashing into the girthy neck, but a massive hand was coming straight for its neck.
The animal was wounded. Move in for the kill! The second Herja burst from its cover as its twin thunked against the steel pole in Neta's corner of the ring. It's hand latched onto the lowest rope, smoothly moving its body through the last rung, using the durable fiber rope to hoist it self up onto the turnbuckle. While the katana was swinging at GRMLD-ATLS' sides, Herja's charged shot exploded out like death from above. Whether it hit the ground underneath GRMLD-ATLS' or on its body, the machine, and Kirien if her thether worked backwards, could feel gravity pressing down on the joints and gears as the purple dust increased the force onto it. It was a small dosage, but should be enough to deny movement for such a large thing just as the black dust earlier had given it temporary flight. Seeing as it was already saving time to lift itself back up again, it made sense with the added weight it would take even longer, and harder to move in general, or die beneath its own mass. Check, Neta thought, commanding her bots onward.
Helping up its twin, the Herjas quickly swung each other in a echo of their move from earlier in the fight. One of them was far more injured than its sibling, the blunt damage all but caving in its back carapace, and thus decided to stay on the ground. It flung the other into the air, and Neta watched as the descent began; the momentum carrying strong metal talons like a predator bird, ready to skewer the prone and helpless prey beneath! It was almost graceful seeing the humanoid robot diving downward with arms wide so that its left arm could descend through the neck to the floor, and the other could sink into the lower back to try to disable GRMLD-ATLS' legs. Did Neta understand she wasn't supposed to completely destroy the bot? Her ear twitched at a familiar voice, but her mind stayed focused on the fight at hand. The injured Herja couldn't fire just yet, and instead ascended the turnbuckle it had been thrown into, jumping off the ropes on either side to add some form of momentum to its attack. It aimed its claws at GRMLD-ATLS' closest hand, the left unarmed one, and tried to drive its nails into the armored wrist joint to dishand it. Could Kirien find a way to move through the dust? Or would GRMLD-ATLS' own massive weight be its downfall? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kirien managed to launch one of the twins, but she saw the second one jump in from it's hiding. Her eyes went wide as she saw the compressed limb. 'Where was he--?! No! No! Come move!' She shouted as her mind was running at twice the speed now before she realized GRMLD wouldn't make it in time. 'What would..... of course!' She was asking what Lyosha would've done in this situation to try and extend the time and the answer was obvious, she brought her left hand down to grab her right hand while the ATLS was on one knee. The bullet fired and she forced the right hand up and swing! Having been hit once before by a bullet and narrowly avoiding injury, she would seek to do so again, this time using the Katana to block the charge shot and knock the bullet off course to hit just before GRMLD. It's Gravity would indeed effect the now shattered Katana but she released the grasp on it to let it fall with a hard thunk as the Herja Twin was thrown into the air. 'No time to move, they just keep coming.... I just have to...' The ATLS began to move it's back leg as the Herja was descending. 'Fight! Fight and win GRMLD!'
As it descended, Kirien's eyes focused and from her, a wave of electric energy could be seen before she lunged out with her damaged right hand, clenching it as a fist as she attempted to strike the Herja out of the air and knock it into the short zone of Black Gravity. Comparing the sizes, it was a logical attack that would give Kirien reprieve as she wasn't prepared to take on two at this time once more. But, if she managed to get the twin down, her mind would click and she'd have to trade again, getting ATLS to stand before she soon flicked a button on the suit. ATLS switched from it's high speed gears into powered Hydraulics as it moved slower this time but she needed to capitalize on a downed Herja and would use the power of hydraulics and gravity to step on and crush the hips of the humanoid Herja at the cost of losing one hand. However, if she couldn't get the Herja down where she needed to with a punch, she'd have to bring her left arm up and trade with another flying Herja, damaging her gun arm while also smaking it away. Her ATLS had taken so much damage to thee torso, and she was thankful that the Core remained intact. "You just don't let up! I might have to update after this!" She shouted to Neta with a wide smile.

‖ Who: Kirein‖Thoughts: Weird ‖‖Ambiance: End of Innocence‖Profile‖System Loading... Herja Activated ‖ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kirein was smart: using the momentum from swinging the sword by GRMDL-ATLS' side to turn high into an arc, catching the gravity infused bullet with ease. The bot simply released its grip on the katana, allowing the bullet's trajectory to complete, flying the thing away and magnetizing down onto the mat. Affecting a small surface area, the purple gravity created a small sphere around the item, protruding slightly off the ground. If something fell on top of it, it would feel rather uncomfortable, but currently there was nothing to worry about. With the giant moving still, it made a miscalculation as it simply tried to swing its arm up, and in another arc, to try to attack the pristine Herja from the sky. While it was true Herja had no control over its trajectory in the air, it still had very deadly nails extended outward and ready to attack. By meeting it with a simple, albeit faster, attack, it was like swimming into the shark's mouth. Herja's silent frame turned as if sliding down a pole as a firefighter, her sharp nails jutting into GRMLD-ATLS' arm. Steel against steel, Herja jutted her other hand's nails sharply in, hoping to use its own gravity to rend downward as it slid. With the damage, Neta wondered if the arm would be completely useless as Herja's nails bit downward, leaving grievous damage behind. Kirien didn't seem to feel the pain of her forearm's muscles being filleted, and it was the final nail in the coffin to prove as such.
The damaged Herja didn't fair as well as its sibling. While it still had a charged shot, and ample time to attack, its body practically spasmed in midair, its back pressing against its circuitry and core. It made it easy for GRMLD-ATLS to swat it down from the air, thankfully not having the full use of its limb just yet and didn't punch the poor robot down. Herja's body bounced onto the mat, its head jerking to the side as it raised onto all fours slowly. It turned back so that it was facing the ongoing melee scrabble, and watched as its sibling had already disengaged from the beast, using the damaged Herja as a distraction to move away. The damaged Herja aimed slowly, firing another purple energy blast towards GRMLD-ATLS' damaged torso, the center of mass. If it hit, the blast would explode out with intense gravity, cementing the bot to the ground for a moment- hopefully one of confusion. The damaged Herja wasn't watched as much as the pristine one, and though that mindset wasn't truly applicable with four sets of eyes on it, it would die sooner rather than later and needed to try to help in any meager way it could.
Netami's eyes left the fight for a moment, allowing the Herja's access to whatever they chose, and replied, "Why doesn't it have dust?" The pristine Herja jumped back into the fray, lunging its body off the ropes towards GRMLD-ATLS' damaged side. It's body was squared as it ran, ready to zip its nails to cut the damage arm off before it tried to scramble onto the beast's downed back, trying to skewer its neck yet again. Both of its arms were damaged, one more than the other, and Herja wished to capitalize on it. First it would drive its elbow multiple times into GRMDL-ATLS' head, trying to dent and break the optical unit, before its nails squelched into the gears within the neck. "Relatively, it's slow against multiple targets. You need better thrusters to utilize it better on the ground." The second Herja knew it would be crushed under heel, but it needed to help its twin. Scampering and bounding quickly across the ground, it pounced on the front of GRMDL-ATLS, simply rushing its claws into the chest and belly as it straddle the larger bot just as its sibling would attack the neck. "I can help you update," Netami decided, turning her attention again back to the fight, ready for a melee rebuttal or checkmate. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kirien clenched her teeth as she watched the Herja twin suddenly grasp around her machine's arm, riding it down as it exposed electricity and oil spilled from the machine's arm. Her eyes went from playful to focus as she realized this woman was truly here to test. 'I know I challenged this.... but she's using blades?!' Kirien thought as her mind was running, she had seen the way they fought and realized how bad of a situation GRMLD was in now. But then she remembered something as she managed to smack the second Herja away as it was moving slower. Kirien had an idea, one that would help her truly push herself and GRMLD past the limits as her aura flared. Suddenly, the thrusters came to life momentarily and boosted at high power just as the Herja fired, just as the first Herja ran away and in the process of the boost, the GRMLD grabbed the Katana as the gravity effects on it ran out. 'She's been playing me a fool.... I've let myself go for the thrill of it.' Kirien thought as the Machine evaded the main fire, but it's entire right arm was destroyed at the elbow, making it useless as the arm got heavy. It made the ATLS lopsided but this time, Kirien had a better advantage.
She brought her right hand to her hips and grabbed ahold of the Propulsion grenades as Netami asked as to why her machine didn't have dust. "Because he doesn't need it." She stated plainly as she threw the grenade out fast, landing it between the damaged Herja and her GRMLD as the Pristine one was charging in for another attack. Her left arm couldn't shoot anymore and was missing the pinkie and ring finger barrels, but it could still grasp a katana considering it was a hand. "Slow against multiple targets huh? Maybe that's because he and I work together?!" Kirien shouted out with a knowing smirk as she used her Torso, the GRMLD following in kind to avoid the attacks and counter with a broken Katana slash just as the grenade went off. The explosion was namely to throw everything into confusion as with the sheer weight of GRMLD, he was unaffected by the grenade as she aimed to take advantage and severely damage the pristine Herja by lopping off a limb at a joint.
