>>6099466As the metal warrior charges back in, once more far faster than before just like the machines whose parts he took, the machine's speed still surprises you. But even with this boost, he's still too slow to beat you. As he closes in, swinging that drill at your face, you twist clockwise around his attack with the Su Ma's movements. Easily evading the blow, only for the robot man to spin, swinging his left backfist at your head. Which you also evade by flipping back, kicking up with your right. Your boot's toes smash into the metal man's now-masked chin, shattering it and snapping his head backwards.
“Kuuah!” he shouts, flipping backward before reorienting on you, dashing back down at you. Once more swinging his drill first, this time not thrusting it at you but swinging it down in an overhead strike. Which you dodge with a counterclockwise spin, dashing in and slamming your left elbow into the machine man's now-exposed face. Feeling something crack beneath your elbow, snapping his head back again. “Gyaah!”
“You can't beat me.” you reply, flipping over his head into a right back kick to the back of his neck, snapping his head back forward. Sending his entire body tumbling, crashing to the ground. But as the metal man rises back to his feet, a bit slower than before as he turns. Then with a smirk fires a beam of green energy from his mouth. Your instincts warn you that this is trouble, twisting clockwise and backing away, dodging the attack. He continues to follow you with that blast, keeping you dodging the beam back and forth as you dodge the attack. Weaving in and out around it, closing in. Despite his best efforts he can't hit you, flipping over around his head and driving your knee straight down atop the metal man's head. “HAA!”
“Guuaaaah!?” he cries, ending the attack as your blow staggers him. You then go back on the attack, flipping and spinning around to drive your right elbow into the base of his neck. Spinning around him with the momentum of your attack you go into a right uppercut to the guts. Lifting the monster off his feet and sending him more than a dozen feet into the air before crashing down, landing in a heap. You drop back to the ground, looking at the downed machine. But he isn't done, pushing his damaged body back up to his feet. “Tch! Ghh-kyuh. Haaah.”
“You can't beat me.” you tell him, retaking your fighting stance. “Why don't you just give up?”
