>>6099464The machine warrior goes back on the offensive, you carefully keeping your guard up as it attacks. Every strike you make sure to block or dodge, watching it for any hint of the liquid metal-like being of the Tuffle parasite. If there was one, there could be more. But as you fight, countering the metal man's attacks, each of your blows deals serious damage, carving off its flesh with each narrow dodge. Until, ducking an overhand left you twist, driving off your back foot into a right punch straight to the guts. Causing the metal man to stagger back, clutching at his guts in pain.
“Why you-!” he snarls, but you're done playing around. Going on the attack you unleash a barrage of powerful strikes, more than a dozen unanswered heavy blows until you end your combination with a pwoerful uppercut, sending the metal man flying into the sky. Tumbling head over heels for several seconds before crashing down to the ground, landing back in the pile of his allies' parts. “Guh!”
“It's over.” you say, leveling your right hand at the downed machine as you gather your ki to finish it. But seems this metal man's not done, unleashing a terrible roar.
“GRRRRAAAAAAAAAAA!!” it bellows, you feeling its energy suddenly spiking.
“Now what?” you wonder as it roars, kicking up a tornado around itself as it rises into the air. You leap back, not sure what it's doing but not wanting to be caught off guard. As it roars the machine man rises, bringing the parts of the other machines you'd smashed apart swirling around it. And as you watch, it begins drawing those pieces to itself. The metal parts connecting to him, merging with him as you feel that being's power surging higher. Just what in the world IS this thing?
“HAAAAAAAAA!!” it roars, one last defiant bellow before the tornado dies down, revealing the warrior's new form.
