No doubt to where your ally is holding the head, trying to keep it safe and out of Rilldo's clutches. “But I will make you a deal, monkey. Leave me the head, and I'll leave this world intact. I won't kill you both where you stand, and give you a whole year before I return to destroy this place.”
“Hmph. You really think you can stop me?” you reply, the bastard's confidence getting on your nerves. “I'm going to kill you for good this time.”
“Well, was worth a shot.” it replies, drawing its right fist back. You brace yourself, only for it to suddenly stomp down with its left foot, creating a massive left foot out of the metal floor that rises up to kick you. But it's too slow, as you're already moving forward. Closing the distance in a blink, deflecting it's follow-up heavy right with your left forearm past your shoulder, driving your right directly into its face. Followed up with a left uppercut to the guts into a clockwise spinning right elbow to the temple, staggering the metal man. Reversing your spin, you follow up the elbow with a left counterclockwise roundhouse kick, knocking the metal man off his feet. Causing him to spin in two and a half spins before landing flat on his face. Knocking the metal man down, you jump, drawing both legs up and stomping down at him with both heels directly at his neck. As you do, however, he <span class="mu-i">melts</span> himself into the metal floor, your double kick smashing a hole in the floor but missing the target.
“Arctus! Get to New Salda! NOW!” you shout, turning back towards him to see the metal man's hands rising from the ground, reaching up for the head in his hands. Arctus, seeing this coming leaps back, nodding to you and raising his right hand to his forehead.
“Oh no you don't!!” Rilldo shouts, stretching his arms towards Arctus. But as he does you draw your ki into your right hand's first two fingers, firing a Death Slash that cuts the arms off, causing the limbs to fall flat back to the floor. Giving Arctus time enough to escape, vanishing from his own world. Leaving only you and him alive on Arctus' planet full of machines and metal. “Grrrrr! You insolent-!”
