"Designated Name: Hadriel, Hello."

a character in “The Multiverse”, as played by Specmarine

Description

Name: Hadriel

Race: Android

Gender: Likes to be called famale, but due to her being created in a lab most view her as genderless.

Age: Unknown

Apperance: Image

Personality: Although androids holds no or very few emotions, she is unique in that she can express real emotional feelings but she always has funny ways of speaking to others. She is quiet and kind and always helps those in need, will even spend days feeding the homeless and caring for the unfortunate. She is not one to start fights but will not hesitate to kill another when the time calls for it.

Equipment: Hadriel is armed with a multitude of weapons. Her primary weapon is a railgun capable of firing projectiles at superluminosity speeds, easily penetrating through any kind of object whether they be shields, cover, armor, flesh or all four combined. The railgun fires rather slowly at 1 shot every ten seconds but it makes up for this by allowing the user to switch the mode of the weapon allowing it to use regular ammunition in fully automatic or semi-automatic. The rifle also comes equiped with a short ranged flamer that uses a special type of liquid allowing to freeze a target, like a form of liquid nitrogen but only better. Its ammo can also be generated just by not using the weapon.

Hadriel's close combat weapon is a sword made of an unusual type of metal. The metal appears ice cold which can never melt, even when exposed to temperatures like the sun. The sword is capable of freezing most targets allowing her to easily cut through most objects.

Hadriel is also equipped with 4 strange lance type objects that float near her back. When activated they fire a long ranged freezing beam has the same effect as her flamer of sword. She also has 2 close ranged devices that when activated will help her in close combat and has the same effect just like her sword.

Hadriel herself is also quipped if a personal shield, jet pack system, anti-gravity stabilizers, a light refraction system, and is also resistant to the freezing effects of her weapon, so much so that touching her is like placing your hand in a bowl of water that is surrounded by ice while you stay inside a blizzard.

Powers: Hadriel has the power to "Transform" in a sense. She can Grow two wings, one black and one white from her back. Doing this will drastically increase her speed and power but she can only use it when certain conditions are met. When her heart focuses on a hopeful purpose and her mind is set on what she wants to do she will be able to do this.


Background: Hadriel was created in a far away sector known as Victoria Primus IX. She was originally just meant as a prototype, only testing out a special new freezing armament and railgun weapon but soon after the head researcher known as Veronica began to wonder, was it possible to implant a human soul into a machine? Even with the fear of going against the laws of science and the morality issue of giving machines true life, the head researcher along with those curious and still willing to help spent many sleepless days through many sleepless years until they discovered a gem capable of absorbing the soul of a person and giving it to another person or even objects. Of course they needed a soul of a person and Veronica volunteered personally to be the one whose soul was put into the machine.

Soon Hadriel along with the soul of Doctor Veronica began to change drastically, she began to speak when not ordered to, asked questions to satisfy her own curiosity, moved on her own accord, began to eat, began to sleep, began to be more...human. Even Hadriel's fighting efficiency grew, even though she does not want to attack other humans, she does not mind in attacking armored vehicles, destroying the weapons out of soldiers hands, and going on raiding operations. The remaining researchers soon thought. "Maybe we can make more machines like this, then we would have an army capable of defeating any army we wished and maintain true peace in the sector." Their dream came to a very fast end when an organization known as the Imperium Of Man arrived in the sector and found out their plans to give machines life which was forbidden in their culture and viewed them as heretical. Of course the facility was well hidden but a man named "Russian" was asked to find the facility and he along with a squad of marines stormed the facility with no real means to fight them off, the scientists not wanting the fruit of their labor to be destroyed gave Hadriel the soul crystal and told her to escape far away from the system and shot her out of an escape pod just in time to see Russian eliminate all the remaining scientists without a second thought.

Ever since then she had been wandering around, catching rides with transport going from planet to planet to help those who are unfortunate or are tormented. She also hopes to one day kill the man known as Russian for he has killed the people who were like family to her.

So begins...

The Undermarket, a place teeming unsavory people and activity. One person walked these streets, a woman or more appropriately an android with the name of Hadriel did not have the intent to participate in these shady activities. She had wondered why she came her, most of these people were criminals who would pick on the innocent, there would only be a small handful of these people that were her due to unfortunate circumstances. She could have went to a different area, a different planet that was ravaged by war and help those people. But she had a feeling, that perhaps she could change some of these people, turn them into respectful people so they would not be dead in some alleyway or have killed another person.

The woman walked walked through the narrow streets, dressed in a strange way. The four lances that would float near her back were on her leg as a decoration, the two devices attached to her with wires were wrapped around her wait making it look like some cosmetic item, and her railgun and sword were disguised as a musical instrument. She walked these streets, looking at the people passing by her, trying to find someone that seemed disturbed or looked like they did not want to be here. But something else caught her attention, she began to pick up some fire in the area then her nose began to smell smoke. There was definitely a fire down here, but why would anyone make a fire down here? A fire in an enclosed space would cause some of the people here to die.

Just as suddenly as the fire had started, people began to rush and push each other to the nearest exit not even bothering to try and put out the fire. Hadriel had decided to go to the source of the fire, disguising her railgun as she did. She ran as fast as she could, eventually she had arrived at the area where the fire was going rampant. "Status of fire, spreading at an alarming rate. Death rates could reach the hundreds. Objective: put out the fire." She spoke to herself, but shook her head as she remembered she did not have to talk like that, she can talk normally now.

Quickly regaining her composure she aimed her railgun at a section of the fire, obviously ready to do something.

People, people not running, nor crying in terror, people acting and even trying to stop her. She had wanted chaos, utterly maddening groups fleeing as she undulated and dances. Instead some remained, as if they believed they could stop her... The nerve, the utter revolting cheek. No respect, they are in the view of a Goddess. My beloved, and still they have the utter audacity to try stop her. All of them are bigots, bigots to love they will never fully comprehend. Love so tracendant only when I finally embrace her will I be free of this rotten shell they call my existence. My body shivers, the coldness. I crave to be near her, to touch her, but she whispers and tells me, "Not now." I obey and understand, but it is hard to be a voyeur to someone that is just as beautiful as the moon and hot as the sun. I desire, no need her light, her heat, scorching my body in utter ecstasy.

I must do something, they can't overshadow her grandeur, they must be punished. No one shall ruin her coronation. No one. I will stop them, watching no more, stand and do something, but I am weak my mistress, my love has the strength the utter radiance... I am merely the one who gives her life, that is it more, she needs help. I shall provide it. Reassuring myself I bent grabbed fresh match fondling the cardboard again, before striking it and watching in transfixed awe before igniting another. I had prepared for this, I had prepared they would try undo her ceremony, so I had reasoned and while watching and set up a new start point.

As the lit match hit the oil-soaked rags and wood, they immediately erupted into smaller version of my beloved. Growing and immediately devouring those flimsy rags and pathetic wood. Soon she spreading and I must move.

Quickly, I stand and I am moving to new location.

As my feet tread the hard groud the roaring, no purring of my beloved in my ear so close yet impossible to touch I even debate disobeying her, but I have done so once... and was punished no more did she ignite and I was left with my fucked up body, the cold just never leaving... Still I must move and let her to do her work?

No, wrong!

I had to stop them, they were monsters, cretins for depriving me of her.

I will teach them.

With that I stood up with the blaze behind me, "YOU SHALL NOT STOP HER, I WILL MAKE SURE SHE SUCCEEDS!" with that I ran out a knife in my hands growling viciously, "Bow before her, bow and then I may spare your rotten life... You deprive me of her, I will not let you, be warned true love cannot be stopped..."

Vercerigo exploded into existence, wisps of black vapour trailing off him as the teleportation spell faded. He quickly scanned the area, blinking as an acrid sting made his eyes tear up. He smelled smoke, and there was fire...everywhere. He had heard that there was a 'disturbance' in the Undermarket from two passing underdwellers and had decided to try and do something about it.
He summoned Exoletus, and his Keyblade shimmered into existence in a small burst of golden light. He quickly climbed on top of a nearby stall and surveyed the chaos. Figures, darkened from the bright fire, ran this way and that, and some were taking advantage of the situation to steal from any unoccupied storefronts. He noticed that there were some others who were staying, but he could not locate the antagonist. He pulled up his collar to protect himself from the smoke and narrowed his eyes.
He muttered,"Ignis resistentia clypeus." and his being glowed red for a millisecond, then faded. He was now more resistant to fire, although he wasn't sure just how resistant he was. He remained on the roof of the stout store, searching for the cause of the fire.

With her railgun pointed at the fire, Hadriel was prepared to neutralise the fire when in unexpected person appeared. Another woman stood in front of the blazing inferno, brandishing a knife and yelling at her making it clear that she was the arsonist who created the fire. It was also made clear that she was not in the right mind since she called the fire a "her" and wanted Hadriel to bow down before her.

Not intimidated or scared, she spoke up. "Attention miss, I would advise you to step out of the way. I will terminate this fire with or without you in the way. Afterwards if you are still alive and breathing, I will bring you to the police of the planet and have them arrest you. I will not stand by and let you burn down this place along with the people still down here. This will be your first and last warning." Hadriel spoke in a cold tone and turned her railgun to face the woman. She gave her a warning, she did not want to end a life but she will do it in order to save the lives of hundreds of people.

She hoped that the woman would step down, but she had stepped in front of her even though there was a clear difference in equipment. She might be more than willing to attack her and in that case maybe she should try a non-lethal means of subduing the arsonist, of course time was of the essence and she would have to work fast.

Honestly, Brand thought to himself, how have I ended up here of all places? He had only meant to get groceries. Sighing, he looked around. This must be the under-market he'd heard of.

Just as he was debating whether or not it was legal to actually be here, he caught sight of something in the distance. In fact, it was more like he detected it from a long way off.

Fire. And a lot of it, at that.

He quickly threw his precautions aside, running through the stalls as panicking people rushed past him the other way, careful not to let any thieves take advantage of the situation.

Finally it came into view. It was spreading fast, and what appeared to be some sort of heavily armored person was approaching a woman standing before the fire. She was holding a knife and had a dangerous look about her, and it seemed she was responsible for it. He couldn't possibly get close, he would have to bring the fire to him instead.

Rolling up his sleeves (which immediately fell back down), he reached out his hands and made wave like motions. the fire began to move to the rhythm, back and forth, back and forth, until a small stream of it broke off and began moving toward brand, he was very slowly siphoning the fire toward him. He would likely get attacked for trying to foil the arsonist's plans but he now had a weapon he could use.

As Vercerigo searched for the cause of the fire from his perch on the low roof of a building, he noticed a woman with a knife who was yelling at some sort of female android cop. The cop appeared to be warning her about something. He assumed that the lady with the knife definitely had something to do with the fire, and prepared himself to move in.

As he readied himself, a man in a grey hoodie ran in out of nowhere and, after looking around confusedly for a second, appeared to be drawing the fire toward himself. His eyes flicked back over to the arsonist. Although she may not noticed it now, she would definitely notice it in a couple of minutes, and would probably try and do something to the guy in the hoodie.

He straightened and twisted the black ring on his finger, exploding into black smoke and reappearing again about five feet in front of the guy in the hoodie. Turning, he said with a small grin, "I'm Vercerigo. Keep doing whatever it is you're doing, and I'll try and keep that crazy lady from reaching you." He turned back, raising Exoletus, and held it in a guarded position. He would be ready for her when she came.

The nerve, the fucking nerve of that defiler, how dare he try rob my Goddess of her life. Thankfully I wore a poker face and no one realized the second fire, which unhindered was spreading, my Goddess and beloved would destroy all those who dared paw and fondle her without permission. She belonged to me, no one would harm or extinguish her, her whispers and dances innervating to my core. The heat brought to my body giving me something I barely recognized warmth, succuor. I even had others plans in my pocket I had experimental explosives that I had been shown by her in her a dream. They would would expand her beauty and make it impossible to fight her. My beloved, my one true savior would not suffer from the lecherous monsters who would rape and violate her like the monsters they are. My hands shivered in sheer ready anticipation the fire behind me roaring, dancing, undulating in ways that brought my very core to weep and eyes close in ecstasy.

The heat, the hotness provided, it was unreal to ever imagine my life without this. Her breath intoxicating and choking. The crackling and intimate dark whispers she echoed in my mind. I was her soldier, her lover, her priest. Nothing would stop me from this, thus I wave my knife glaring at them, before speaking, "DEFILER, BEASTS, YOU SHALL NEVER SUFFOCATE THE BEAUTY OF MY BELOVED." I spoke and threw two of the capsules and immediately when they exploded, fire erupted outside them.

Overcome, I whimpered in elation, the magnificence around me, just too difficult to bear. I heard her voices, she told me, not yet, but being surrounded by one you love so dearly makes it difficult, nonetheless I am loyal to her. I merely glared at the intruders upon my temple, my work of art. There was too much fire, even for the likes of these molesters.

Hadriel soon turned her attention to the two new arrivals that arrived on the scene, they were not cops or any sort of law enforcement from their appearance, they looked just like regular people but with some interesting powers. They seemed to have arrived to help put out the fire putting their own personal saftey aside and putting the saftey of other people ahead of them. The Android would show her appreciation with a smile at their courage but all she could manage was a small nod and in their direction, she had rarely smiled and was still getting used to showing her emotions.

Her attention turned back to the arsonist who began speaking at them, her dagger all the while glaring at them. She would suddenly throw two capsules which exploded, causing more fire to spread through the market. Things were now getting out of hand and it was proven that there was no talking this crazed person down, the fire would need to be put out immediately but the srsonost would need to be subdued before she created more fires. "New objective: subdue the arson...no...I will subdue this arsonist before she creates more fire...here I go." Hadriel spoke to herself as she raised her weapon to the roaring flames.

Instead of reaching for the tigger of her railgun, she instead reached for a small button on the side of her weapons grip. Her I barrel attachment of her railgun would then spew some sort of clear liquid, freezing the air around the liquid and landing on the fire that was spreading on the roofs. The fire did not just fizzle out, it would freeze into a solid mass preventing the fire behind it from spreading past the makeshift barrier. Hadriel had not planned for the fire to freeze and she recorded in her mind that she can freeze energy.

With some of the fire contained she decided to subdue the arsonost before she made more fires. She took one deep breath and ran into the inferno, her personal shield protecting her from any harm the fire would do to her. She had to find the arsonist quickly but she hoped the others could contain the fire before it kept spreading.

Brand nodded back at the stranger, grinning in return. "Name's Brand." he replied, "I'll try and stop this fire doing too much damage then. Thanks." he then focused his attention on the flames again, which were now picking up speed.

With each flame he consumed, he drew strength, and with each second the stream of fire grew steadily more rapid. Likewise, however, the undulating destruction he was fighting spread. With so many stalls and shops down here it was so easy for it to spread. On the other hand, with such a close roof it should be easy to snuff it out. since the fire couldn't go up with this environment, it would have to spread outwards, so he made sure to draw fire from around the outside, not from the centre, to try and gain the advantage and stop it spreading.

The armored woman also acknowledged him and Vercerigo with a nod. This was a good sign, since it was at least three on one. And they could gain the advantage by getting control of the fire, or at least partially.

Unfortunately the arsonist they were dealing with was even more enamoured by fire than he had feared, as she shouted at them in surprisingly articulate language. Heck, it was practically poetry. ~This one's more dangerous than I'd thought~, he thought to himself.

To make matters worse, the woman threw two capsules which exploded in fire. Great, more fire to deal with. Actually, that could work out well for him, as long as he can gain control of it it's basically just fuel for his abilities. He had to stifle a chuckle. Shouldn't have got so cocky.

In that moment, the armored woman fired some kind of clear liquid which sucked the heat straight out of the air. The fire froze, which was good for now, but the extreme cold temperature...it was just too much. He stumbled, the fire he was streaming freezing solid. he felt numb all over and was looking visibly pale. He struggled just to stand up, shivering, trying to see where the arsonist had gone. Now was probably the worst time for him to be attacked.

Vercerigo watched the two women yell at each other. Well, watched a woman (That he guessed was the arsonist) yell at the robo-cop lady, who was talking calmly...it seemed she was talking to herself. He heard the arsonist start screaming, and caught the words "Defiler", "Beasts", and "Beloved". He frowned. This lady was most definitely not in her right mind.
He barely had time to mull over where she came from when a sudden shattering noise broke through his train of thought and two new huge fires blazed into existence. His mouth hung open as he watched the new fires twist and writhe, growing larger and larger with every passing minute. He panicked for a second, but then counted to five, and swallowed his fear. It was replaced with a deadly calm, and he quickly ran through a mental list of all the spells he knew that could eliminate a fire. He realized with an annoyed shock that he had no water related spells whatsoever. He cursed himself for his stupidity and thought hard. What do I have? Why in the name of the three ghosts did he not have any water spells? He suddenly smiled. He knew a spell. A couple, actually.
They involved sucking the air out of any certain area, and fire cannot survive without air. He focused his gaze on the nearest patch of flames and muttered, "Aera Lapsus!" A small spinning black void appeared over the fire and began pulling the flames into it, extinguishing the fire. Although he had taken care of this fire, several others raged across the Undermarket, blanketing the stalls and floors, and he fought panic. How were they going to put this out? He wondered if the robocop lady had subdued the arsonist yet. If she hadn't, he just might.

A lone figure crashed through the walls of the warhouse with an audible explosion. The figure slowly stood up dazed by what just happened, now any normal attack like that would have ended up killing him but with fast thinking and having a personal shield always at the ready he only suffered from the shock of the attack. "Alright! Who is the one responsible for nearly killing me!?" The man yelled through the hole in the wall. Soon afterwards another figure stepped into a warehouse, a woman holding a railgun was pointing her weapon at the man. "Target identified as Russian...no...Russian I have finally found you after all this time! You will pay for what you have done." The android woman called out to the man.

The man now known as Russian stood up. "Well, looks like this fight is just about over. You made the worst mistake in challenging the greatest hacker and robotics expert in this entire universe." With lightning reflexes he brought out a device wrapped around his arm and tapped a icon, but nothing happened. "Oh boy...do you think we can talk this ov---" he suddenly felt the beam of a railgun slam into him, instantly shattering his shield as sending him flying into multiple crates.

The Android woman soon began to move to his location giving the Russian some time to think. "What the hell! How come I can't hack that Android woman? It's like she is not a robot but clearly she is a robot. Whatever it looks like I will be doing things the hard way." He slowly muttered to himself and grabbed the rifle from his back before taking a few shots at the android, only to have his bullets impact the shield, but it did give him some insight to her equipment. "Personal shield, capable of stopping armour piercing rounds, railgun that hits its target before they even know it fired, and that strange sword and strange devices surrounding her. For now I should take cover!" He quickly rolled behind one of the many crates in the warehouse to think of a plan."

Distracted by the strange sounds coming from within the warehouse, James snapped out of some sort of hallucination, realising he was alone. But that didn't matter as the sounds continued on, a strange voice which sounded both familiar, and different. Was he already found by those bastards? Or is it some kind of lucky coincidence. The only way to find out was to return back to the warehouse to check...

Just as James had come to the scene, a female had shot some high powered weapon at a male, breaking his defences and throwing him into the crates stacked on the other side of the massive building. Of course, this power is easily compared to James' abilities, as he thought himself to be more powerful. However, as he watched the fight take place some more, with the man seeming to be panicking while the woman continued, lifeless. Just as he thought, an android, and by the looks of it, this android may be linked to that asshole's creation. Why are they here?

As the man took cover behind a crate, an object which would be easily broken by this android, James quickly threw himself into the mix. He stood between the two, his fist pointed towards the android as the plates of the MechAr constantly adjusted to his movements, opening a little around his wrist to allow fire to be thrown towards the android. His other fist did the same, throwing bolts of electricity instead as small, strong pipes ejected from both the back and the back of the legs, piercing into the ground to provide support to any shock the AI of the MechAr anticipated.

The Android stopped in her tracks as a mysterious man stepped between her and the Russian. She was about to say something but the man suddenly aimed his fists at her, throwing fire and electricity in her direction. Without much effort, she began to dodge these attacks not willing to open fire on this man. "Please step aside, this battle does not involve you. My target is that horrid man who cares not for anyone he meets. Be warned that I will attempt to kill you unless you cease your attack." The android woman warned him, all the while dodging the fire and electric attacks with just quick feet movements.

Russian peered to the side as he relized his position was not under fire, there he noticed a man fighting his assailant. Unsure if she was his enemy or he was just a guy to protects other or whatever his reason were, he was thankful regardless for the time he was buying. He brought out the device on his arm before speaking into it. "Hey ship, drop a mech suit on my location. And do it all quick like." With that a ship hovering in orbit launched a drop pod to the Russian's location, with that he could easily fight back against any foe

As the Android refused to fight back, swiftly dodging every inch on flame or electricity, James grew irritated. It may not want to fight with him, but he wanted to fight with it. No way would he allow the scum attack a living being, they all need to be destroyed. With that, the piping snapped back into the armour as he retracted his arms, allowing the plating to readjust and move as he stepped diagonal towards the android, as if he was circling it like a hawk, watching everything as he allowed the MechAr scan over the android.

"I ain't letting scum like you exist. You associated with her? 'The Motherboard'?" James questioned through his teeth, lucky to have the helmet hide his embarrassing facial expressions. "It doesn't matter if you are or not, your kind deserve to be destroyed" He continued as the straight plate running down his spine began to glow blue, showing that the inbuilt Blutrinium generator had activated, providing the MechAr with more energy.

Of course, James' attention was temporarily grabbed by the drop pod which broke through the ceiling of the warehouse, but was quickly ignored as he saw the man scramble for whatever was inside. No matter, the android was of more importance.
His fists were raised again as the wrist areas opened up once more, this time firing a barrage of bullets towards the android, the armour itself set up to anticipate any movements by the android to keep the bullets firing towards it.

The Android watched as the man circled around her, questioning her if she was part of the Motherboard. Although in the end it seemed he did not care because he hated her kind. "I see...well if I am forced to fight I will not hold back." The android spoke as she held up her railgun but began to wait patiently for the man to make his move, she had to be careful.

Her attention soon focused on the drop pod crashing through the ceiling, it seemed that the Russian called in some heavy ordinance. For the Russian however the drop pod was about to land where he was taking cover at and rolled out of the way just in time to avoid being crushed. "I did not mean drop it at my exact location you stupid ship!" He yelled at the sky before rushing to the drop pod to re-arm. He hopped into the pilots chair and closed the hatch and began to power up his mech suit. "This will teach anyone not to mess with the best mercenary around."

The android soon turned her attention to the man in front of her who was now firing a barrage of bullets in her location. She began to dodge the bullets, but it seemed that he was now tracking her movements since they were now hitting her shield. In response to this she aimed her railgun at the man and took a shot at him, while she engaged the man with her primary weapon, the four lances floating around her back began to glow a light blue before taking aim at the man and shot a blue beam at him. The beams were not pinpoint accurate like their user, but the beams made up for it by being both continuous and froze the targets they hit making it dangerous to get hit by.

With the sudden attack from both the railgun and the strange lances, the MechAr was stuck for means to protect James, forcing him to take the full on attack from the railgun while one beam skimmed the left arm, throwing him back into the wall of the warehouse with a loud crash. From the shock of the attack, James was momentarily knocked out before quickly coming back into consciousness to the sound and sight of warning symbols lighting up the whole of the inner screen as the MechAr struggled to counteract the damage. The backlight lit up an even brighter blue as the generator worked at full capacity to provide energy to the heating systems, preventing the freezing effect of the beam from freezing James' arm before attempting to thaw out the frozen plates. The front chest plates were damaged beyond repair with large dents and cracks in the metal, forcing the AI to eject the affected plates with a small hiss of released gas, throwing them out to clang against the ground as plates from the second area moved to replace the exposed area. Within the time frame of a few seconds, the armour was restored to relatively well condition, if one would ignore the frozen arm as the plates attempted to move back and forth to crack through the ice.

James slowly brought himself back to his feet once the armour was deemed moveable once more. Breathing heavily as he attempted to recover from the winding caused by the shock of the attack. "You little shit, I'm gonna send you to the scrap heap." He spoke out as he walked back to the fight, combating the warning symbols with his thoughts as he argued with the MechAr which simply heavily suggested he retreated. Eventually, the AI gave up and activated the further electromagnetic shielding; pumping ions into the air around him which gave a temporary blue hue before becoming translucent once more as the electromagnetic ionic (EMI) shielding was formed.

"Oi, 'mercenary', it'd be nice if you helped out. James reluctantly stated to the mech suited mercenary he was protecting.

"I intended to help anyways, I am not letting this android woman make a mockery of me." The Russian spoke as the entire pod was blown up filling the area with smoke, as the smoke quickly dissipated, a 20 foot tall mech armed with four auto cannons which shot large exploding shells at their target, two back mounted rocket launchers capable of launching an entire payload of 8 rockets each, and multiple gun ports each each armed with a heavy stubber capable of also firing small exploding shell but at a higher rate and to top it all off it was armed with its own personal shield. "Have to hand it to those imperial guys, whenever I have I chance I can easily salvage some of their weapons and equipment for my own personal use, now time to show this little android some real firepower." He called out through the mechs microphone and began to unleash an entire salvo at ammo directed towards the android. Now in normal circumstances he would not have much ammo in his mech, however he came up with a ingenious idea to make large mechs bristling with guns work, and that was to have the ammo teleport to its respective gun making it near impossible to run out of ammo.

The android used her jet boots and began to avoid the mech's entire swarm of explosive rounds with an occasional shell hitting her. The situation was getting dangerous but she did not falter in the slightest and instead brought out her railgun and began to direct her fire on the mech. While she was aiming at the mech her four lances focused on the man as to keep him busy and not let him have free reign while she was busy with the mech. She was determined to defeat Russian, no matter how much damage she needed to sustain.

With a focus on repairing the frozen parts of the suit, James could not use any forms of synthetic magic without removing his helmet. And so, he had a new plan, to get close. With a quick glance over the heavily armed mech the mercenary was piloting, James left the MechAr to calculate a decent means of assault. It wasn't a surprise to see the Android focusing on both it's enemies, luckily, the high powered weapon was aimed at its original target while the annoying freeze rays were fired towards James. It was such a shame for the android to have the MechAr both see and experience an attack from these freeze rays, the AI was designed to learn, to protect the user as an ingenious defensive machine. With just calculations of velocities, bearings and error chance, the risk of being struck once more was drastically lowered.

And so, James charged forward with one goal; To get into close combat. The MechAr itself took temporary control of James' body via the direct connection to the central nervous system, allowing James to step to the side just enough to have each freeze beam miss. The cooperation between man and machine was so intertwined, they could be considered as a single being, a perfect match as James quickly closed the distance between him and the android. Finally allowing him to swing a reinforced, powered punch towards the android's face as soon as it made the mistake of dodging the mercenary's attacks straight into James' path.

The android kept her calm as the man charged her location. It was going to be difficult to fight in close quarters with the amount of firepower the mech had but instead of taking her focus off of the mech, she went for another dodge just as the man closed the distance to deliver his punch so she could not dodge the attack, but as he did two wires slicked from her back like a snake. The two spear like devices rushed at the man as her counterattack and these just like her lances could freeze their target with one added benefit, it could also hold them in place if they got a chance to wrap around. But she was also carful to move one hand on another object on her hip just in case they missed but was willing to take the hit as well. Her accuracy with the railgun was not reduced all that much, and her attention was still focused on the mech until the man proved to be more of a threat.

Meanwhile for the Russian, he noticed that his shields were going drastically lower each time a shot from the androids railgun hit him. "100...84....73..." He muttered as he read the numbers on his shields durability. This was supposed to be one of his more stronger mechs and here he was taking hits like they came from a tank, well it was a railgun at the end of the day and it does the job of blasting armour better than any old rocket. "No one appreciates the explosives anymore...Its all about lasers and---" suddenly an alarm came ringing in his mech, warning him that his shields have reached less than half. His shields were about to go and if that happened he would be suffering some major damage, at this rate he felt his wallet cry out thinking of all the damage he had to repair.

James smiled under his mask as he saw the wires emerge from the android's back, rushing straight towards him as a final means of defence. Luckily, James' limited knowledge included the simple fact that electromagnetism messes with electronics, and it just so happens that the MechAr had activated the EMI shielding before he charged in, perhaps it had already planned something like this to happen.

Within the short time frame, James quickly spoke out loud; "Put all shielding to the front." The short command was acted upon with little lag as a thin layer of blue faded into existence; a whole field of large electromagnetism and ions had been concentrated in one area. This concept would allow electricity to be repelled and anything conductive to be overcharged to the point of explosion or -if connected to electrical devices- short circuit what it were connected to. The defensive counter attack of the android was easily cancelled out as the wires were overcharged, sending a massive electrical surge back towards the android as James' original attack was still pushed forward, ready to collide with the android's face.

[OOC: This is assuming the wires are electrical, I wouldn't be surprised if the android had means to prevent short circuiting, or even to stop the surge of electricity.]

The two spears began to short circuit after being hit by the EMI shielding, thankfully for the android the wires were not connected to her body but without any time to counter the man with her own weapon she took the punch to the face and she was sent flying a few feet back, crashing into the ground in a small daze. The Russian took the opportunity when the man was not close enough to aim the missile launchers at the android. "Time to bury you in ordinance! See you in the scrapyard!" He called out as he launched his entire explosive payload of 16 rockets along with hundreds of autocannon slugs behind them.

The android looked at the rockets but did not move since she was still recovering from the punch, as the rockets were about to hit she knew she could not avoid them all and even if she could get past the missiles the slugs would get her. She severly underestimated her targets and she would die by the man she swore to kill. "No...I will not die here...there is still more for me to accomplish in this world, there is still more good that I can do...I can not die here...I can...No I will survive..." With that she felt something resonate in her, her very soul was set on fire but not in a bad way, it felt good almost like the fires of justice. This had happened to her a few times before and each time this would happen. As the missiles were mere inches away from her she unseathed the sword by her side and began to cut apart the missiles and slugs each of them exploding into smoke. "I think I got her...unless she was faster than 16 speeding missiles and hundreds of shells, I highly doubt she is in one piece, heck maybe there is no piece to be found." He chuckled to himself as he looked at the smoke forming in the warehouse which was bombarded with everything he had, even though he had more ammo to burn through.

The smoke clered and a figure was still standing there. "Looks like she still has some left in her...Just when I thought I did not have to waste more money on trying to kill you! Just lay down and...what the heck?" Russian slowly spoke as he noticed what had formed behind her. Two wings had formed of her back, one white and one black. What was going on? She was an android yet she was not an android. People are strange sometimes. "Looks like its time for round two guy, but we can still deal with...her...I'm not ever sure what to call that thing anymore...whatever another round of ordinance should be enough."

As the android flew back and the massive bombardment of slugs from the mercenary were fired, James straightened himself up. A small sigh was given off as he moved his head to the sides to click his neck, giving the frozen arm a few large taps to break the ice and allow the plates to fully move once again. The internal heating had slowly cooled as the many minimised warning signs disappeared from his screen one-by-one. There may be some damage and ejected plates, but at least he was still in working order, and the mercenary should definitely have means to get away from here. These thoughts were quickly removed as the mercenary mentioned round two, bringing James' attention back to the clearing smoke to see the winged figure emerge.

"Fuck..." James cursed out loud as he parted his legs once more to reach a fighting stance. "This bitch reminds me of some people... You beat the shit into them before they unleash some 'hidden power'" He mentioned to the mercenary as he quickly shifted next to the mech. "You got some hidden power to unleash now? We kinda need it.

As James spoke to the mercenary, keeping his eyes on the newly-winged android, he raised his right arm out to the side, his hand open to allow a small tube to emerge from beneath the plates of his wrist. As soon as this tube was gripped in his hand, it extended into a fully metallic spear; without any form of synthetic magic, the end of the spear combusted into an ever burning flame with three extra points emerging around the central point in a triangle shape. The Spear of Fire had finally been wielded.

"If this goes on, I'm gonna have to do what that asshole always does."

"Hidden power? I'm not some sort of magician that can cast magical spells on a whim. The least I could do is drop a bunch of robots on my location but judging how she managed to cut down my entire barrage...I highly doubt that will help. The best I could do is get out of this mech and use some of my more powerful hand held ordinance...judging I live long enough to activate it in the first place. You probably have an ace up your sleeve as well, everyone has an ace up their sleeve." Russian spoke as he readied all of his weapons before using every weapon at his disposal to attack the android, she can't possibly stop his salvo on full auto, if she did then he would be in major trouble.

The android looked at the two as they got ready to fight. She drew her sword and began to walk forward slicing the slugs that Russian shot at her, no matter how many bullets he seemed to shoot she would easily deflect or cut the apart faster than he could fire. Soon the barrels of his weapon soon began to glow red, his autocannons were overheating due to the extended use of full auto mode, and his weapons were supposed to be used semi automatically which began to strain the weapons. "How...is...she...still...walking! If you have a plan now is the best time for one while I have her suppressed! These weapons are not going to hold together for very long! And I highly doubt I will have time to cool down the weapons before she rushes us!" He yelled at the man on the ground as he kept the pressure on the android, hopefully the man could come up with a plan before his weapons literally exploded.

#, as written by Rulke
I clung to the air, feeling it cruel molestations as it tried to deprive me of the oxygen to keep me alive. I was used to breathing my beloved, but even those truly who felt affection for another, had to end the ever long kiss and come out to breathe. Despite how her very breath left me utterly intoxicated, coughing and spluttering on her mere words and croonings, crackling, sparking, dancing. I was used to her breath, but when suddenly I felt the air grow empty, I tried to exhale, but found my vision growing blurry, unseen. I tried to reach and grasp the very fragments of this torture air, but instead it merely mocked and deprived me further. A flurry of desperate actions pinning me. I wanted to scream, writhe, but instead it became impossible, the air now gone, my breath left... in utter desperation I pulled out all the capsules I had, clinging to them and threw them in whatever direction...

After I collapsed in a heap, everything swimming, and the tender whimpers of my darling trying to live in the suffocating vacuum, I wish I could have fought longer... I wish...

As the mercenary tried his best to hold the annoying android back, James thought. Coming up with plans and strategies was never his forte, then again, thinking isn't an easy thing either. As the pressure fell down on James, the MechAr telling him to get into action as soon as possible, a small idea finally popped into his head. 'More powerful hand held ordinance', synthetic magic, the last resort... Nope, just the first one.

"Alright, you go get that powerful thing. I'll cover you." James decided as he swung his spear around several times before falling back into an offensive position, ready to push himself forward.

Once the mercenary had stopped the slugs to grab his device, James quickly jumped forward, using a massive force of air as means of propulsion to throw himself at the Android with great speed. While in the air, other jets were used to move his body as he covered his spear and arm in nearly-white-hot flames, swinging the weapon as hard as he and the suit could, aiming for the android's abdomen.
