[spoiler]Yeah, I know. But you just sacrificed your sword arm to get a hit in.[/spoiler] [b]The hybrid "wings" roar to life as a wall of thermite assembles around Phoenix, giving him a thick second skin outside of his armour. The shotgun pellets dig into and bounce off of the grey armour, some actually breaching the extra layer and getting embedded into the exosuit. It was made to be tougher than General Blackjack's, so it would probably be able to stand up to a shotgun spread without the thermite armour. Regardless, it was better not to take chances. With multiple churning motions, the thermite "armour" of his unbends and turns into twin tendrils that race towards Sal. As they do that, he shoots more of his explosive .308 from his minigun at him. Sheathing all of his weapons whilst the minigun fires, his prosthetic left arm begins morphing and changing... Four triangular curved pieces unfold from his biceps, pushing upwards to surround his gauntlet. They form together, creating a spinning Bioshock-like drill with a 10-silver-micron tip. He hovers in the air, awaiting Sal's next move as he continues to fire at him. [/b] [spoiler]I'm not gonna give away everything, but know that the drill is made to be an energy sink. [/spoiler]

*he takes cover behdin the crusader sheidl* *pulls otu a granade of hsi belt* HERE GOES TH ELITTLE INMIGRANT! (this ne was desinged by Sals father. the real nameis Little trobulemaker. but you knwo racsit joeks are funny sometimes) *the granade expldoe smid air sednign a 40mm tungsten drill liek bulelt flying at you at abrusive spped (basicly a Warhammer 40k Boelr round on steroids)

[spoiler]O.O Holy -blam!-. Remind me to get a Bolter to face you with next time... Lel, nice one with the racist joke. I wish I could throw an Asian one in mine, but I don't see where it would fit. Get it?[/spoiler] [b]Knowing that he won't be able to avoid it, Phoenix flies towards it and spins around, letting the massive drill tear through one of his thruster wings. He tumbles to the ground as the strange grenade detonates on his amputated wing, rendering him to the ground. The man rushes Salazar and swings his drill hand in an underarm jab. The energy sink tip goes through any kind of energy shielding, and drills itself past his eridium armour. However since he does not have his jet wing, he cannot propel himself backwards to avoid Sal. So he just continues drilling through your stomach, easing past any energy shields. [i]The air gets surprisingly hot... Even hotter than your Martian blood would take... Something tells you that you should withdraw as fast as you can.[/i][/b]

[spoiler]heu hue hue[/spoiler] (its grafeniu armor yeha you are kidna stuck right now) *sal elver hsi wepaonsa nd fires at your elbow*

[b]The bullets weaken the prosthetic arm, but do not break it.[/b] [quote]You dun goofed.[/quote] [b]B-BOOF- a massive heatwave erupts from Phoenix's armour, enough to melt flesh and other armour alike... Including the lattice makeup of graphene.[/b] [spoiler]I know about graphene, and I know it's a type of ultra-thin plastic with high tensile strength. But like most other plastics, it can be melted easier than metal... Not to mention that 2 inches of it is no match for an intense heatwave. Sure, it could take the drill no problem. But that drill was used to take out your shields in that area. Even if I am wrong and its metal, its still metal. Metal can be compromised and melted by the heatwave, especially of its- again -only 2 inches. Heat is different from bullets, so once more, the tensile strength wouldn't matter. [/spoiler] [b]The heatwave bores through the exposed graphene, melting its layered structure and hitting your flesh. HARD. Phoenix's ceramic-covered armour withstands the microwaves, as it was the epicentre of the massive blast. His drill is obliterated-- half melted and half torn by trying to force itself past the shields. Phoenix discards his own left hand, still in the drill. He backs up quickly, looking over his shoulder to observe the damage. The minigun slides forward, just in case Sal tries anything in a last-ditch attempt.[/b] [quote]It's over, Sal. Let's call it a day.[/quote]

*laughts* if you want too... *gets up and stretches* good fight old friend *offers a handshak*

[quote]In the end, there are no victors-[/quote] [b]He takes your hand with his own, taking off his steaming gauntlet just to make sure to not cause further harm.[/b] [quote]-only warriors who value the battle, not the victory. You won't see me often. I do work on Terra, since Venom's been contracted by the Imperium of Man.[/quote] [spoiler]Rivers of Blood ^_^[/spoiler] [quote]It was a good battle, Salazar. My thanks for your cooperation.[/quote]
