The man faced Alpha but strafed towards the approaching mech, avoiding the plasma bolts and unloading a few short bursts of his turret to keep the unarmored teen behind cover. He then straps the turret onto his back (a seemingly impressive feat in itself) and then rushes towards the mech, gauntlet blades drawn. At first he seems slow, cumbersome even, but when he's close to the mech, he picks up speed, accelerating to a full on sprint as he slides between the mech's legs, and then reverses momentum as his rocket boots activate, propelling him onto the back of the mech. He embeds his blades into the back to lodge himself onto it, and then with his prosthetic, puts his flat palm onto the surface of the machine.

The thrusters picked up, coating the prosthetic as the mech quickly fell backwards on its back to crush the man. Alpha popped out of cover (With armor. She put on armor. Remember?) to fire at the drone, she would kill something dammit

The drone made for a difficult target, constantly buzzing around like some sort of demented bumblebee, circling the man's location at all times. The man pulled back his prosthetic, which was dripping with molten exhaust, and quickly threw himself off of the mech before it could land on him. He landed on his feet, his chaingun discarded several feet away, crushed by the mech. A blue light lit up inside the bloated module on his prosthetic arm, and with a blistering crack, the coilgun within fired. It pierced through the center of the mech, creating a molten hole through which the mysterious drone buried into. The internal telekinetic forces went rampant within the mech, causing catastrophic harm to its internals. Meanwhile, the man turned to face Alpha, his gauntlet blades humming quietly in the background. "You've got quite the arsenal kid," he said, the excess heat from his coilgun transferring to the energy shield that sprung to life on his wrist. "But everyone's luck runs out eventually." He began to dash towards Alpha, shield raised in front of his body in a protective position (with a 3-foot radius from the center).
