"Ah, there you are..." Giorgio eventually found the device and tried to reach it. He almost lost hold on Nat's mech and fell down, but fortunately he managed to grab the little bug and hold it firmly in his hands. Suddenly he felt a force behind him and Giorgio let out a little squeak when he got lifted off the ground. "Hey, don't do that ever again. At least not without telling me!" Giorgio muttered, and investigation the bug a bit more closely.
He listened to what Nat had to say and took out his remote from the pockets. "Yeah, don't worry. I'm on it already. But Nat, do me a favour and try not to destroy the mech too much, alright? I know you are pretty good in fucking shit up but try not to do it this time. The mech could really help us. Thank you very much, ugly girl." He said, referencing the last part of Nat's sentence. While he said all that Giorgio was busy mounting the little bug to one of his insects he summoned with his remote. He hurried since he knew the rockets were going to come eventually. When he thought it was firm enough Giorgio quickly threw the insect away from him and attempted to control it with his remote. He didn't know whether the inscet was fast enough to dodge the missiles. Heck, he wasn't even sure if they could carry the bug's weight. But there was only one way to figure it out. "Hopefully it doesn't bite my ass that I did this instead of using my stand on it..."

Lene didn't reply to Alex's insults. Perhaps that was a wise move: The longer the fight went one, the more it seemed like Alex was trying to buy time with his remarks. However, Lene would have none of that. Alex was surprised the moment the soldier's grip tightened so much that he managed to stop his descent. Alex would slide a bit further down before eventually stopping, but Lene was now around 50 feet or so above the Russian. "I've had enough of this." The man muttered, his visor glowing red as he released his grip on the walls. He was now plummeting down, his leg extended forward as he planned to crash on Alex's body foot first.
It was sudden and painful. The golden boot hit Alex right in the stomach, reaching his kidney and causing him to puke. The two went free falling till they reached the ground, Lene's fall cushioned by Alex's body. The Russian was now heavily injured and at the soldier's mercy. Alex felt regret. Regret at his defeat. There was no doubt that he would be tortured for information, that he might be unwittingly brainwashed into revealing the names of his companions. It couldn't end like this...
"This is how a rebellion is crushed." Lene spat, raising his foot from Alex's body. "How puny ideals disappear in a flash. There's no cameras in this shaft. No-one can see what's happening....And no-one would know what happened to you if I ended things here..." He threatened, raising a fist. Was he going to finish his foe off? As macabre as it may, Alex started thinking that this was better than him ratting his friends out. Just before the fist struck the Russian's face, however, it morphed into an open palm as Lene grabbed Alex's hand and helped him stand up. "Of course, then I would be betraying myself." Lene said. "Your heart is in the right place, but your methods are far too tame. Your rebellion shouldn't feel like an actual rebellion. That's like a child rebelling against a father. No, you have to go to war."
Alex couldn't comprehend what was happening. Lene, a UN soldier, was actually a rebel too? No, in that case the rebel HQ would have warned him beforehand. Lene was...an independent rebel? "Join me and I will show you the best way to reclaim our life." The soldier then extended their hand. At first glance, the prospect of a new ally seemed great, but Alex's heart relented. The fight against Lene might have been faked, but some emotions rung true. The man's anger and contempt at people not rebelling...It was far too great. Rage seemed like Lene's ideal solution. A solution that Alex was not willing to share.
The elevator shaft was devoid of cameras, yet the entrance to the ground floor was also nearby. If Alex could just get there, he would be able to escape Lene's wrath.
The bug started to hover around, braving the numerous blasts as it attempted to cling to Mekanikle's body. Unfortunately, Giorgio couldn't exactly control his creation well, not with Lightning jumping around like a crazed monkey. Nat herself couldn't even exert her mech's full capabilities: Using Lightning's full speed and agility might cause Giorgio to fall off or worse, puke all over her polished sheen. The two really couldn't exert their true power in this situation, causing both of them to despise each other a little more. Mekanikle would soon take advantage of that.
"Number of threats increased to 1. Total threats: 2. Suggested course of action: WALTZ system." Mekanikle beeped before quickly taking action. The mech's body started to glow before it suddenly...split into two! The upper torso and lower torso had completely separated, both of them unceremoniously crashing on the ground as Lightning was blown away. Was this just a last ditch effort to get rid of them? Was the fight over?
No, the machines soon reemerged. The legs chased after Lightning like a headless chicken as several cables emerged from its behind. The cables surrounded Lightning, wrapping themselves around the mech and limiting its movements. Before Nat could even realize it, her and Giorgio were being dragged around by some crazed robot chicken that was running laps around the theater! Lightning kept crashing on the building, slowly starting to demolish it by accident. Trying to kill the rebels was one thing, but destroying a theater too?!
The upper half instead decided to handle Giorgio, the top hovering through some unseen force as it suddenly plucked Giorgio from the restrained Lightning. It grabbed the boy by his pants, giving him a painful wedgie (by pure accident of course) that even Nat could see. After that was done, it attempted to crush the boy with its thick, metallic fingers. While it seemed like Giorgio was finished, the mech interrupted its attack as it noticed the robotic insect hover in the distance. The one with the tracker. For some reason, it was compelled to discard Giorgio in an attempt to grab the insect. The blond didn't know why the robot was so obsessed with his creation, but he deduced that it was due to the tracker. Could he use this to his advantage somehow?
"Wait, what? Where am I supposed to--" Tomato whispered, being shoved aside as Simon desperately tried to buy more time in order to keep Reichmann from finding out about their true identity. She scoffed, ready to just snatch Reichmann's entire wallet and get this thing over with.
"Stealing? But isn't it immor--" Spike was about to protest, before Mary silenced him and prevented him from speaking any further.
"Now now, sweetie. Don't talk to your mother like that!" She laughed, caressing the boy's hair as he stuck a pacifier to his mouth (god knows where that came from) and silently sneaked out of the vehicle while Simon kept Reichmann busy. Luna gulped as she silently hoped for the two to make it in time. After all, Simon's act was growing less and less credible by the second.
In fact, Reichmann was already annoyed at the boy's antics. It was far too blatant that the green haired kid had never owned a car before. This pushed Reichmann over the edge, the cop abruptly shoving Simon aside and snatching the jack from the boy's hand. "Just let me do it. Stay back." No! Simon couldn't afford to let Reichmann open the trunk and see nothing inside. He would have to explain why his wallet wasn't there, but then Reichmann would probably turn around and see the other students sneaking in his car! Maybe...Maybe he should just try to knock him out the moment he opened the trunk?
Luna could sense Simon's fear and Reichmann's suspicions. She couldn't really communicate those thoughts to Simon, so she tried her best with some figure acting. The boy could see her shadow through the car windows. "Knock him out! Now!" That's what she was saying, he thought. But how could Simon do that? His Stand was disabled. Maybe a rock to the head? Would that even work? Simon was so busy thinking that he completely forgot that Reichmann was in the process of opening the trunk. The seal was undone as the trunk was now unlocked and opened, its contents bare for Reichmann to see. It was too late! He had to knock out Reichmann right n--
"Hmmm..." The cop muttered, looking at the trunk's contents with an intrigued look. "...I didn't know you were the type." He then smirked at Simon before sifting through the material that was inside the car. Simon didn't know the trunk's contents either, so he took a peek and...
PORN!!!
HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF DVDs, NOVELS, FAN COMICS...
and all of them were PORNOGRAPHY!!!
The boy almost wet himself in face of such perversion. His face turned red as he wished to look away, but was simultaneously also attracted by the unknown. His orphanage was fairly conservative and he was a slow boy as well. He gulped as he braved the sea of erogenous material and witnessed fetishes beyond his comprehension. He sifted through pages and pages of stuff that looked sickening: Femdom, domination, abuse, mind break, ****con, r*pe, boys ****. He was slightly aroused, yet his disgust knew no bounds: Who would own such garbage? Wait, this car, it belonged to...Of course. Of course she would love this sort of stuff.
Either way, Simon was ready to apologize to Reichmann in an Irish accent, before noticing that the cop was standing next to him with several volumes and DVDs of porn in his hand. "Well, this will do it then. Stay out of trouble next time." Reichmann smirked, about to head back to his car with his bountiful boons. So that was all Simon needed to pay him off? Porn? Well, degenerates attracted degenerates it seemed. He gave a glance at Reichmann's patrol car in order to see if Tomato and Spike were still there. No traces of them. It was done! They had managed to fool Reichm--
"HEY!"
A sharp cry resounded as a fuming Tomato suddenly appeared. She pointed at Reichmann, her eyes blazing as the cop turned around with a confused look on his face. "THOSE ARE MINE! GIVE THOSE BACK!" She shrieked, walking forward and trying to grab Reichmann by the collar. Goddamnit, Simon had to intervene!

Simon had set to work on the Jack, turning it over in his hands quite confusingly before Reichman snatched it away from him. God, that was so much faster than he thought. He could see Luna out of the corner of his eye, her direction clear just from the expression.
Simon gulps, looking for a rock of some sorts...until the officer chuckled. The type? Type of what? Simon wonders as he wanders over, following Reichman's gaze toOH JESUS CHRIST!!
Porn. Stacks upon stacks of the most depraved, degenerate, vile...strangely alluring pieces of porn. All of the color drains away from the boy's face, his voice just a croak as he sees the sheer disgusting display. Jesus....why was when driving around with these?!
"Uh...uh..." Simon doesn't even register Reichmann's acceptance of the porn at first, the boy only realizing the transaction as he walks away. Well...if Reichmann was that depraved, it probably wasn't a surprise he was UN. But, problem solved. And without conf-
"THOSE ARE MINE! GIVE THOSE BACK!"
"Nooooooo...."
They were so close. So close, did she REALLY need the porn that badly? Simon figures he should intervene. Surely he could at least just push her to the car, make it up to her later (the last thing on his mind,) or just offer Reichmann something else...
But, a thought occured. They were going in circles...soon enough, they'd be faced with more and more ridiculous requests from Reichmann and stupid interference from Mary...they've already wasted too much time.
Simon finds a rock, hefting the stone in his hands. It was heavy, a bit of weight was in it's more rounded underside...
Simon stares from the rock to reichmann, and back again, debating the pros and cons...
Simon steps forward behind the officer and smashes the rock into the back of his skull.

"H-Hey Nat! God dammit, stop moving around so much. I'm about to fall down. You can try dodging that lame mech when I'm... What the heck is it doing now?" Giorgio wondered when he saw the mech suddenly crash. He completely missed out on the mech splitting and was confused when he saw another mech. Unfortunately he didn't have enough time to look at the huge metallic chicken in awe since it quickly made its first move and ran towards lightning. "Okay, NOW you can hurry if you want." He yelled at the green-haired girl below him, but was suddenly cut off by the mech behind him. The warning came waaaay too late and lightning was now being carried around by the chicken mech.
"Don't worry, I'll get you- HEY?" Giorgio suddenly felt something at his bottocks. Something that eerily reminded him of a... student from his class. The engineer quickly shocked his head and tried to forget his past again, when he suddenly felt a cutting pain at his privates. He also didn't feel the ground under his feet anymore. With a quick look behind him he immediately solved the mstery of the flesh-cutting underwear. The other half of the mech thought it would be cool and funny to bully him. Which was definitely not the case. He was being lifted from the ground and was left hanging in a more than humiliating position. Not that Giorgio cared too much about how he looked, since his underwear frigging hurt. "Ouch ouch ouch ouch. L-Let go you piece of junk." The boy punched at the arm a couple of times, trying to open it up a bit. Obviously it didn't work. But while doing this he did notice something interesting. The little bug still buzzed around the room and happened to fly past him. And for a second it seemed like Mekanikle was about to drop him and grab the insect instead. So it seemed like the mech was more interested in grabbing the bug than handling him. Giorgio got his remote out again, panting heavily because of the pain he felt. It felt like he was being split in half, starting from the bottom. But fortunately it seemed like this could be the end soon. With a teary face Giorgio quickly tried to lead the insect towards him. This was even easier now, considering he was stabdubg still right now... Kind of.

Pain. Alex was somewhat used to pain, in the months of rebellion and through his most recent encounter with UN troops. And, sadly, despite the number of cybernetic enhancements he recieved, pain still hurt. Just like now, as Lene planted his foot in the giant's stomach and caused him to spew whatever cola he drank this day out with the mixture of stomach acids and blood. Seems like this was his end. A silly send-off, proving that cybernetics were not the real answer in countering the weaknesses and real lack of experience. He didn't have years of training in brawling or anything, just basic skills and whatever was learned on Mars. Not much, yet, it got him by. Until now, where Alex would take the secret of the rebel's identities to his grave...
Well, that was the line of thought until Lene picked him up and made him stand. What? An independent rebel? Well... seems like everything was possible on this wasteful planet of discarded possibilities. And then, the invitation to join him. Having such a powerful man on his side would be definitely beneficial to the cause... But the implying words suggested the reversal of the roles, and him, the russian astronaut, leaving behind the cause and joining his... his lonesome fight. He couldn't do that. To his allies, friends, with whom he shed blood, sweat and tears. And all because of his addictivity to the sugary drink. Catching his breath, and spewing blood out of his mouth, Alex started to slowly move, with his back to the wall and to the soon-to-be exit.
"Hah... You make a good point. I concur. Yet, cannot agree, I am sorry." With his hands in the pocket of his damaged uniform, the giant shot off one of his fingers to travel down. Alex continued. "What you suggest is an all-out war. As much as people desire bloodshed, it is simply not reasonable. UN holds little standing on Mars now, it is true, but as soon as the pocket is in the hands of rebellion, the connection's dead. UN will have no qualms with just blowing the planet to smithereens. What is needed, is deception. Careful work. Surgical undermining. Not a brute-force declaration. Izvini."
Alex stood right behind the closed doors, holding the path to his freedom under lock. There was only one thing left to do. Alex put his hand right by the doors. Suddenly, the whirring of some engine of sorts could be heard? What was going on?
"You want me to understand your sadness? I do, much so. You want me to sympathize with you? Despite your bashful talk I do. But, understand this, golden surfer. I swore to protect my friends and allies. If something puts them in danger, they must be stopped."
The fist that emitted the strange sound suddenly lunged at the door with much more strength than the cybernetic part could really allow! While this blow might render it useless for fighting, the path to escape could be open. And if such a thing did happen, if the door was broken down, then Alex would fly. Fly with his power, away from the unhinged madman.

‘Pfff...haha...hahaha!’ Natalie stomped her feet and slapped the armrest of her seat as she laughed herself silly at Giorgio's indecent display of shame. She didn't even care that Lightning was thrashing about the theater as Mekanikle's lower half dragged it across the room like a headless chicken.
Plonk. Plonk.
Bits of concrete and paint dropped from the ceiling and bounced off of Lighning. Okay... Natalie wiped the tears away from her eyes and recollected herself. Okay...maybe she should care a little. After all, she didn't want an entire building to get demolished just so she could have a good laugh.
'Be quiet, haha...ow...be quiet Giorgio. You're not helping.' Natalie rubbed her stomach, which was starting to cramp from all the laughing. 'Let's see...'
She wiggled Lightning's arms and legs, and found the cables to be more sturdy than she had thought. But with enough force, she managed to move Lightning's arms just a bit. She flexed Lightning's fingers next, turning it to face the only thing readily available in front of her: Mekanikle's rear, bobbing up and down as it raced around aimlessly.
'Thanks for the ride, too bumpy for my taste.' Natalie stuck out her tongue at the end of her jibe, then pushed the fire button.

Mekanikle's top half kept chasing after the bug. Giorgio was luring the electronic critter to him for some indescribable reason, but perhaps he had some sort of plan at work...
Meanwhile, Nat proceeded to finally retaliate as Lightning fired a flurry of lasers straight at Mekanikle's bum. The mech's legs shivered as it ran in a very brisk and awkward manner, similar to how one would run with their butt on fire. In fact, Mekanikle started burning and accelerating. It resembled a shooting star with Lightning being its tail. The flames fanned around as they collided with the theater...Causing the building to slowly go up in flames. Nat had accidentally made the situation a tad bit worse. Was there some sort of giant fire extinguisher nearby that she could use? No, that would be too convenient.
Even if such an item did exist, there was no doubt that she wouldn't have had time to use it. Mekanikle proved it as it suddenly paused its endless march. It then crouched, bending its legs slightly before it jumped...
It was now a rising phoenix, soaring in the air as a burning symbol of mechs and headless chickens alike as Nat could see the entire school from that height. She also had no doubt that Lightning would be toast if it crashed like that....which is what Mekanikle planned. It released its hold on the mech and let it plummet below. Thankfully, Nat remembered that her Stand was suspiciously good at dealing with lethal falls. She could just activate it and save herself. However, Mekanikle was not done yet.
"SQUAWK SQUAWK!!!" It parroted like an actual chicken with its broken voice chip as it extended its leg and propelled itself towards Lightning. It planned on kicking the mech in mid-air, sending it flying to the ground at a faster speed! Since two forces were at play now, Nat didn't know if her Stand would be enough. However, she did notice that Lightning was plummeting right next to two familiar figures: Giorgio and his new mech buddy. Perhaps she could figure out some sort of plan from that. Oh and she still needed to save the theater....somehow.
Lene was disappointed upon seeing Alex deny the handshake and leave. "I see. You're a bigger coward than I thought." He spat, clenching his fist and not even looking at the Russian as they left. The elevator doors were pried open as Alex flew outside, dirtied and bloodied as he abruptly came across random teachers and workers. "H-Hey! What's with those injures!?" They exclaimed in surprise. It was probably best for Alex to come up with an excuse rather quickly...
"It's fine. He was just helping me out a bit." Lene then appeared behind him. The face and badge of a UN soldier was enough to scare away the swarm of civilians. They left in droves, calmly looking down in order to avoid a scolding from someone with a higher authority than them. Lene had just saved Alex's cover, albeit he still looked at him in scorn. "I'll let you go for now, but I will still accomplish my mission," He spat. "the day of reckoning is near, rebel. You'd best pick your sides wisely during that time." He said before walking away.
Alex did not know what Lene had planned, but it sounded suspicious. The man was filled with hatred, hatred towards the UN and all they stood for. Anything they planned would most likely end in bloodshed. However, the Russian could not focus on that for now. He had to go back to the students and report.
SMASH!
It happened in a flash. Simon had grown tired of this shit, his groucho glasses falling off as he raised a rock above his head. It was the only way for his weapon to reach Reichmann's head after all, since broccoli was nothing more than a poor manlet. The blow still struck true, however, as blood oozed from Reichmann's head while a resounding "YEOWCH!!" could be heard. A scream so powerful that numerous Martian pigeons flew away upon witnessing it.
"Yes! Get that ugly bitch!" Tomato exclaimed, her eyes sparkling as she was proud of Simon finally doing something useful for once. Protecting the girl's porn was perhaps the most low and degenerate thing he had ever done, but it was worth it: Reichmann now laid on the floor, his head bloodied as it would be quite easy for him to finish him off now. The danger had been averted.
Of course, Mary quickly took advantage of that. She took back her porn and....Starting searching Reichmann for valuables. Watches, wallets, spare change...She took it all, snickering as she did so. This was probably her way of getting revenge on the demon for shooting her earlier.
"...Is it over?" Headphones finally emerged from the car, staring at Reichmann's body a few feet back. She turned pale a few seconds later. "F-Finish him off! Now!" She exclaimed in a panic. Simon wondered what she meant before he stared at the bloody rock in his hands. Kill him? Was that what she was suggesting? Taking a life like that...
"Hurry up! I can still hear his thoughts!" Luna sweated. So that's why she was so distraught. The quiet thoughts were proof that Reichmann's brain was still working, that the dirty cop was still alive. Maybe Simon should really fin-
beep
"Huh?" Mary muttered, searching Reichmann's body for more valuables before coming across some sort of remote. It was tinier than the petite girl's hand and had a light on it, flashing red. An annoying beeping emanated from it, something that you would hear on a fire or car alarm. The car promptly started beeping as well. "Oh, it's probably just a thing to turn off his car alarm. That reminds me...Are his keys in? Am I getting a free car?!" She wondered, digging through Reichmann's pants in an effort to hear the wailing of keys. No luck so far.
beep beep beep
"Simon! Just do it!" Luna muttered. She clearly knew that Simon was a pacifist, she could read minds after all. Despite that, she was still insistent on having the boy do it. Headphones probably had never killed anyone in her life. It made sense.
"Could you shut that hole of yours? He's out cold anyways. Let me just call my dad and jail him u--" Mary was about to say.
beep beep beep beep!!
"Oh, goddamnit! Yeah, this is getting annoying now." The redhead said, taking out the remote again and tapping it. "There."
beep beep beep beep beep beep!!!!
"Oh c'mon!" She kept pressing it again. "You broke it or something when you hit him earlier?" She accused Simon. "God, you're dumber than that rock you're holding!" She spat, pressing the button a few more times before throwing the remote out of frustration. It was clear that it did not control the car. However...
The car itself started moving.
whiiirrrr creak
"Huh? You heard that?" Tomato asked, waving her head around and seeing the car spring into life. The engine was roaring, the exhaust pipe was puffing out smoke. "...Did he seriously leave his keys inside?" She glanced back to Reichmann. "What a dork! Let me just--" She was ready to pillage the vehicle too....before the car suddenly flipped and stood on two wheels. Mary could barely react as she stared at the vehicle unfold and extend, the vehicular form morphing into something much more wild and ferocious.
A three-headed dog. Three mechanical hounds were facing the girl, spiked wheels serving as their collars as their shrieks ruptured the girl's eardrums. Mary quickly crawled back to Simon, hiding behind the boy as she squirmed. The beast in front of him seemed a tenacious one, its teeth and clawed paws making the boy think that it was yet another experimental UN weapon, something akin to the drones. He could definitely attempt to fight it. The problem was....That he couldn't use his Stand.
"AWOOOOOOOOOOOO!" The three hounds howled in unison as they charged at Simon and Mary.

Alex's escape was unimpeded by anything, except the onlookers, asking the uncomfortable questions. In a strange twist of events, the bloodthirsty rebel gave him an alibi. The sight of him retreating seemed quite... bewildering. Shaking his head, the Russian muttered:
"Don't worry, Rogue, I will. I just hope that you realize that your path will lead to too much bloodshed."
Standing upright and checking himself for wounds, the giant felt that he could still function somewhat okay. Not in his prime, that is for sure, but still able to do some support. Letting the light of his Stand envelop his leg again, Alex started to walk in the direction of the theatre. The student rebels needed help. As something of an afterthought, he texted a message to the rebels.
"Hey. It's Alex. Lene is out of picture, rogue element, bloody and vicious. Approaching the theatre, anyone needs help?"
Sending it off, the giant took out a bottle of cola from his everpresent, battered, yet intact backpack and took a drink. Life moved on.

Reichmann went down without much of a fight; Simon had put quite a bit of strength into the blow, but he was terrified of the thought that he had managed to kill the U.N. Officer. The boy couldn't help but feel relieved when Luna confirmed he was still alive, although that might not be the best news considering his rather fearsome intent. Luna kept yelling at him to finish the job, while Mary of all people seemed more concerned with getting out of there...with a new car, anyway. He was unsure who to listen to between the girls, but he couldn't bring himself to kill the officer; Simon didn't want to be a murderer. That much he knew; sure, it was war, and he was responsible for deaths before. But that's exactly why he didn't want to do it again...Simon was terrified at how easy it was to tear down soldier ships during the fight with Danger's forces, and he was terrified to see how little anyone else cared about other people dying. Was it just him being weak...or was he just scared of getting to that point where it didn't matter to him? All he knew was that if he could avoid it, he would. "C-c'mon, Mary can just-" Simon starts, but Mary's fiddling with Reichmann's car keys distracts him due to how much faster it was beeping. What if it was an explosive or something... "Mary, s-stop, you're only making it worse," He starts, the brash girl throwing the keys away in frustration rather than mess with it any more...right as Reichmann's car sprung to life. Simon freezes, watching the vehicle transform along with Mary, tensing up as she cowers behind him. Soon fangs flipped up, then paws and glaring robotic eyes... A robotic dog?!
"Wh-wh-what?!" Was all he could manage before the thing darts for him. His fear springs to life Lucy deep within him, the Stand beginning to appear right as a shock tears through Simon's body, his voice catching as he screams in agony. No! Lucy, you can't help, go back, go back! It's killing me!
The Stand disappears, the shocks along with it. But there was no time to recover. Simon reaches behind him, hoisting Tomato onto his back like a piggyback ride and takes off, rushing past the car as he tries to get some distance between them and the dog. There was nowhere to run, but they sure as hell couldn't stand still!
"Luna, Spike! St-St-START THE CAR!!!" He calls back to the others. Hopefully they could catch up and save them from this thing's clutches, but they needed to slow it down first.
"M-Mary, don't you have anything to slow it d-d-d-down!? A grenade, a bazooka, anyth-th-thing!?" He says, hoping she has something big enough to stop that thing for a minute at least. That was UN machinery after all; he wondered if there were many things besides a mech that could tear those apart. |

'Hahaha-oops.' Funny as Mekanikle's walk was, Natalie soon realized her mistake. The theatre was in shambles, and its wooden floor certainly didn't help in preventing the fire from spreading. She would have to come up with a very good excuse when Spike came back, she realized as she frantically looked around the theatre for a fire extinguisher of sorts. There had to one lying around, right? It's a school building after all, there had to be-
Mekanikle suddenly stopped. Perplexed, Natalie refocused on it, only for the headless mech to once again take them to the skies, only to drop her again with a kick. Not that it worried her much, since she was capable of mitigating the worst of the oncoming crash, but - she noticed two black dots on the ground directly below Lightning. As she plummeted, the dots grew bigger until she could make them out to be Giorgio and Mekanikle's other half.
Well...that's not good. If she used her Stand right there, Giorgio would most likely end up with ruptured eardrums, and if she didn't...Giorgio would become a pancake. Natalie turned on the speakers and promptly delivered a warning.
'Right above you Giorgio, watch out!'

"YES! IT'S WORKING! COME ON YOU STUPID TRASH CAN!" Giorgio yelled at the huge mech, not noticing what was going on behind him. They were pretty noisy, that much was true. But so far nothing really serious happened... save for some broken props maybe. So it was really easy for Giorgio to forget about the two. But suddenly a huge shadow loomed over him and Mekanikle and after a quick glance up-wards Giorgio fell into a panick attack. "H-How did you manage to do that? Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy." The young engineer quickly forgot any sort of idea he actually had and simply activated his stand and made the mech suck in his underwear. This did free him from his torment, but at the cost of him falling several meters to the ground. With a big OMPF he landed on his back and had to gasp for air at first. Not that he had much time to rest, though. While he saw Lightning falling into his direction Giorgio tried his best to dodge it. The adrenaline pumped boy quickly did multiple barrel rolls into the side and tried to hide behind some debris from the incoming shockwave.
"ARE YOU ACTIVELY TRYING TO MURDER ME? NO WAY IN HELL IS SOMEONE ACCIDENTALLY ABLE TO ALMOST MURDER ME THREE TIMES IN JUST THE SPAN OF AN HOUR." He yelled towards the girl. There was one good thing that came with all this chaos. The stinging pain that he felt just seconds ago finally disappeared. It almost felt like Giorgio was reborn. No longer were the cold, disgusting hands of death wrapping around him... |

"SQUAWK SQUAWK!!!" Chickanikle shrieked as it bombarded Lightning with a flurry of kicks during its descent. The mech collapsed on the ground unceremoniously, dirt and dust being kicked up on Lightning's screen as Nat was temporarily blinded. Thankfully, Giorgio was safe. He had ran away just in the nick of time. However, this didn't mean that fight had ended there.
"SQUAWK SQUAWK SQUAWK!!!" The obnoxious bottom half of the mech screamed as it landed on Lightning, further increasing the damage. It then tapped at the mech's screen with its toes, similar to how a chicken would peck at the ground. The pecking then turned into something far more vicious as miniature drills emerged from the mech's feet, slowly drilling through Lightning's monitor in an effort to spear through Nat's body.
Giorgio was in dire straights as well, his underwear suddenly vibrating like one of the many dildos he had hidden at home. His gentleman bits were starting to be a bit pleased from this predicament, yet Giorgio knew that something was wrong: A gigantic arm then rose from his undies. The other Mekanikle was trying to free itself from his Stand!
Alex left the building, a bit confused now that he had found out about Lene's true motives. The man was dangerous, using the rebellion as a way to quench his thirst for vengeance. In his mind he sensed that perhaps he might be forced to confront him once more. However, there was no time for him to process these thoughts: He came across a beautiful, state of the art sports car in the distance. A Ferrari. Alex was almost tempted to give it a ride...Before he noticed something else in the distance. A gigantic, mechanical mutt with three heads was standing next to the vehicle, dwarfing it in size. Alex wondered if he was suffering from symptoms of excess cola consumption, but upon pinching himself he realized that it was all too real.
"WW--W-WWhy do you expect me to do all the work?!?" Mary, who was clearly panicked, decided to lash out against Simon in order to calm herself down. "So much for being a r-rebel...Ufgh..." She coughed, taking out a tomato shaped grenade from her nostril (god knows how) and taking off the pin. "Eat this ya shitty mutt!" Tomato shouted, taking aim as he threw the thing straight at the beast's mouth!
The cerberus ate it gladly. It opened its mouth wide and devoured the spicy tomato as rays of light emanated from its chassis. A loud sound could then be heard as the force of the explosion almost turned everyone deaf...And then the smoke disappeared. The mechanical monstrosity was still alive, a curious look on its face as it wondered what the tomato even was. Needless to say, the grenade had no effect at all.
Relying on Mary was hopeless! Simon had to do the man's job and get her out of he--
Oh. She had already run away way before he realized that she was useless. No, wait...Everyone had run off! They had all disappeared!
"Simon, get in!" Spike's voice could be heard as loud tapping emanated from the Ferrari. Everyone had already gotten inside the car!
"We're leaving. Now!" Headphones warned, slowly opening one of the car doors. That was Simon's last chance at joining them, since the beast had now realized what the group was aiming for. Gasoline dripped from its mouth as it panted. The car looked like a can of meat in its eyes, the meat being Simon and the other students.
"AWOOOOOOOOOOO!" The beast screamed, pouncing at the Ferrari. Simon didn't know what to expect from this new opponent, but a beast of that size would obviously crush a Ferrari with ease! He couldn't let their escape vehicle be smashed like that...Alex! Simon finally realized that Alex was nearby. The jannie had shown up at an opportune time. It was now the Russian's job to mop the floor with the dog-like creature!

Not getting a reply from anyone, Alex decided to find his own troubles instead, and exited the building.
'Man, that Lene guy sure was something. He lost so much, and now desires to make the fire rise, by blood and death. If it continues, he will burn out, along with the rebellion, I know it. And, I feel, that another confrontation is imminent. Once this mission's over, I'll need to get with all the connections I have. This is not my best, especially now, with a stand-needing arm and a leg. Oh well... Hey, is that a Ferrari? Who the fuck leaves a Ferrari on another planet? I mean... I wanna ride it, but... Wait, the hell's that?'
Alex noticed a giant metallic cerberus standing just ahead. After pinching himself and getting a swig of cola from the flask, he understood, that the strange sight was indeed real. A girl... Simon's classmate, if he remembered correctly, threw a grenade in the metal mutt's mouth and ran for the hills, right in his direction, along with the rest of the group. Except Simon. They got into a car, and shouted at the poor boy to get in already. Knowing that they needed a getaway, the Russian pulled himself together and shouted as well:
"Simon! Clone me now, and get away! I'll teach this mutt to play dead, even half-dead!"

Simon stares in awe as Mary lets loose one of her many grenades (of course he could've done without the name calling), praying that she would manage to stop this wild mechanical beast in its tracks...and no. No, it didn't even faze the cerberus, the beast just swallowing her grenade whole and receiving the full brunt of its payload with no damage. This thing was invincible...
"Okay...ok-kay, we just have to, um...just have to run. Hopefully th-the others..." Simon looks behind him, only to realize Mary jumped from his back and ran away! She left him all on his own, with no way to defend himself!
Although, Spike and Headphones actually seemed to care about his well-being, but there was no way they could stay for long. He'd have to make a run for it, but who knew if he could make it. Could he outrun that dog? Lucy was unavailable to him, so it was his only option. But could they even get away in time? Would the others be killed in his attempt to make it to the car? He couldn't bear to risk their lives like that...hang on.
Simon could hear someone above the commotion...someone...familiar.
Alex.
Looking across the desert, he could see Alex emerging from the school, waving at the boy frantically as he makes his way over. Yeah...yeah, Alex! He could actually save them from this; even if Lucy was available, Simon knew there wouldn't be a lot that he could feasibly do. It wasn't the strongest Stand out of the Rebels; more than anything, it had been relegated to a supportive role in all of the fights he found himself in. But Alex's Cryoshell was perfect, it had the power to floor even the strongest of UN forces. But would it be enough against this thing...
"Alex, I c-can't use Lucy! I'll exp-plain later, but just keep that thing busy!" Simon yells back, a pang of fear forming in his gut as he takes action, running for the ferrari as the beast makes its pounce. Time seems to slow down as he races for the open door, arms outstretched, not daring to look back at the beast that was ready to tear them all limb from limb. It was all up to Alex...could he stop it in time? He was really far away; Cryoshell had the added usefulness of pulling its User at incredible lengths, but it was up in the air on whether or not his fellow Rebel could make it in time. Simon didn't have much of a choice; in this moment, he was completely powerless. He couldn't help but hate it. These past months, he felt he finally mattered to something...and all at once, the UN robbed him of that. They made him weak again, completely defenseless and dependable on those around him. His arms shake as he reaches for the door, his own crushing worthlessness almost getting the better of him and causing him to trip, but he manages to stave it off a moment longer as he grabs a hold of the handle and himself in. Now, he just had to pray that Alex wouldn't let them all die...

"Eh? Well, okay, I think I can manage that. I'm coming!" Taking the last swig out of the bottle, the Russian rushed at the cerberus. And that was a correct decision, too, for the big metal creature pounced right at Simon and the Ferrari! The Cryoshell-lit arm bolted ahead, taking the giant with it. One moment, two moments, three moments, and the beaten and battered man jumped right at the dog, with his left fist cocked back. By that time, the disguise used for the battle with the rogue rebel fell off, revealing the red and yellow cosmonaut uniform under it. The makeshift mask was already untied, and the students could see the determined look in his eyes and a scowl full of gritted teeth. In a flash, the leg enveloped by the light of the stand detached and flew around the beast, for purposes of mobility.
Aided by adrenaline, the Slav shouted at the giant creature of metal, "DAAAA SVIDANYA!" and punched with his left fist. That which can break a whole concrete block in a punch or a kick ought to dent some metal, for sure. And it would, because to do otherwise is to let the innocent die. That was unacceptable in Alex's book.
