"That's more like it! Give me something interesting. Something fun!"
Kath kept on firing away, each blast from the focus strong enough to burn holes in the plating - but not quite strong enough to fully destroy the shield. She was just fast enough to react before impact though, twisting her machine around so the plate made contact with the already-damaged side of the machine. The impact was enough to utterly ruin the arm, and the nails rammed in afterwards forced the suit off-balance as it tried to recalculate weight.
The pilot wasn't too happy either. Her first movement after the plate was attached was a blind thrust with the other blade, the suit twisting around even before the Gunleon had properly freed itself from the plate. This would be followed up by a series of equally frenzied slashes, the E-bit only barely keeping up with the pilot's movements as she sliced away in the direction of the Gunleon's chassis. No fancy tricks this time, just raw aggression slamming against the Gunleon until something broke.
"Mobile weapon operating 20% above tolerance levels. This output cannot be maintained for long. Utilise your backup, Kathryn."
"No chance! I can handle this, and we're getting some good data!"
"If this keeps up, you will lose. I am sending a request for assistance."
While Kathryn focused on duelling the Gunleon, the orange E-Bit turned to face the melee. Both shoulder cannons were already charging, burning longer and brighter than the rapid shots the woman had been using prior. But it didn't fire just yet - waiting for the perfect shot on the 'Repair' bot.
