[CrimsonMoon]

" But the civilians outside'll be stranded," he murmurs looking across the plains that made up the warzone with a frown

[Light]

The brunette looks back at him, then at the ground, "...They asked, if the pilot in Relinquisher would help them buy time to try and get everyone back through the gate before the next wave comes," she looks up at the mech, "I said I'd ask you,"

[CrimsonMoon]

Crimson's gaze darkens,". That's impossible... But i'll try," he frowns and looks at Relinquisher," Ready again, big baby?"

[Light]

The mecha beeps a whistling tune, the green visor lighting up. "Last night, the Engloos' toy soldier was seen, so they're probably going to send him in. If you see him--whistle that, and that'll remove the safety and give you a ten minute boost to the limit," Lucy points her finger at him, her other hand trying to keep the smell from her nose, "If you get buried in rubble I'll dig you out and kick you, got that?" She turns on her heel, heading towards the bases main building.

[CrimsonMoon]

Crimson watches her leave and smiles, glancing at the mecha and making sure the machine gun was still in the cockpit before climbing in," Come on, big guy... Lets go,"

[Light]

The cockpit closes and the screens inside turn on, the information popping up on their usual screens. One of them--the radar--showed the canyon was so far empty from invaders; but beyond that, it couldn't pick anything up.

[CrimsonMoon]

He sits back, watching the radar, he knew he wouldn't be as fast ot react as quickly based on not being pumped full of drugs. He breathes in, trying to calm himself, his palms sweating... He was scared

[Light]

The mecha beeps at him, the large construct trying to reassure--or calm him down. As it did, a faint dot appeared far at the entrance of the canyon--the only one, but coming in like a rocket.

[CrimsonMoon]

Crimson smiles weakly and focuses on the dot, pulling the mecha back into the sover of the base's wall, examining the dot

[Light]

It starts zig-zagging, getting bigger and bigger as it gets closer. The mech gives a warning beep, copying an emergency siren.

[CrimsonMoon]

He activates the plasma knife and races the mecha, sinewy muscles braced-

[Light]

A dark orange mecha blasts thru a barrier made overnight, a large gun in its hand. The gun disappears, and a saw-like sword forms in its hand--the toy soldier she had been talking about was here.

[CrimsonMoon]

Crimson immediately imagines his actions... And it happens.

The Relinquished slams into the toy soldier from the flank, the plasma knife screaming through solid obsidian armor, severing the shoulder joint of the toy soldier effectively

[Light]

It only takes a few seconds, but soon the Toy Soldier slams up into him despite his missing arm, the heavy weight of the large mech knocking the Relinquished back off of him.

The mech starts moving again; this time with its high speed; zipping to the side around the new mech like a lion eyeing its opponent.

[CrimsonMoon]

It was like he was watching a movie in his head and it was really happening. He moves the mecha around into an odd back stance like the one they had used in sparring at the academy and feints toward the mech's injured side

[Light]

The mech looks like its leaning to the side; the knife it had been holding disappearing from its hand as it falls into a sideways crouch...

[CrimsonMoon]

Crim's instructor would have been proud of him. The mecha's plasma knife rips toward the other mech, forcing it off balanceb beforeslamming an axe kick onto the top of the toy soldier

[Light]

As the metal bends in underneath, the before-empty hand now held a gun in it, and shot at the joint of the Relinquisher. The cockpit starts to spark, looking ready to explode on the Toy Soldier as the metal smashes down into it. The Relinquisher though had a warning screen, the countdown suddenly much closer to zero after having nearly lost its leg, the mech overheating like an oven.

[CrimsonMoon]

Crimson curses, even his imagination not finding a way out of this... But he would not abandon his little rother... Not again.

The relinquisher rips his heel down, crushing the cockpit of the toy soldier, Crim frantically began to rack his mind... Where is it?!

He begins to bury the mech's hands into his opponent, grasping the thjng he was searching for... The coolant tan for the engine

[Light]

The Toy Soldier catches fire as he starts digging thru it, and the Relinquisher beeps warningly. DANGER flashed across the screen in brief flashes, the mech' glowing a light red.
