Of Mavericks and Hunters. -OPEN AND ACCEPTING-

[Randomly Gone Insane]

At the shot, Edge immediately flinched back behind cover of the ceiling. She should have known better. Of course he'd be free from the EMF. Everyone who manipulated always was, and she made a rookie mistake to assume advantages and tricks that can be brought on with an EMF would work.

"I knew there would be people in the buildings, either home or working." She called out, giving up on trying throw her voice. "But unless you're aim is poor, the civilians are safe. I aim to protect them and would do nothing to bring them into any harm. I would have to deliberately attack them to cause harm. You're the one who will be dangerous to the civilians."

She was beginning to tire of their conversation. This reploid was clearly full of themself. Perhaps a combination of his arrogance and worry and doubt put into other Hunters when told of him was key to all his fights. Think too much of your enemy, you doubt yourself, and the enemy can overwhelm you. She would make no such mistake here.

She backed away from the edge of the building, going back to the opposite side. Edge then bolted forward and leapt off the edge, again going to next building. However, unlike before, she had saw blades in her hands. She looked down, spotting the Black Robot easily as he was at the corner of the building she was flying to. Before the moment was lost, she threw down as many saw blades she could down on him before the opportunity closed and she landed on the building.  

[Zahzi]

As Edge began to move and throw the blades, Tango put his weapon on his back once more and sprinted to the container, picking it up, and making a dash for it.

With the way this hunter was going about this, fighting was not an option. People would be caught in it..

He began going through alleyways in an attempt to lose her.  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

As the Black Robot started to run, Edge gave chase from above. Though in the back of her mind she questioned why he was suddenly retreating, for someone who was supposively so dangerous she was told not to engage as entire teams would die at his hand. But she would figure out the answer to that later. She had an advantage against and would use it.

Edge followed from above, but only for a few buildings. Whenever he made turns, she'd lose sight of him. Not for long, but it was enough to bother her. After they passed a corner Edge jumped down to the ground, tucking and rolling as she landed so she could keep running and continuing chasing the Black Robot. And now that she was at ground level with him, he was an easier target to hit as well, which took full advantage of by throwing saw blades at his back and gun.  

[Zahzi]

As the Black Robot continued to run, he looked back to see the sawblades coming at him and gave a grunt. As he reached for his rifle, he twisted around and jumped, and opened fire not only at the blades to make them veer off, but at Edge with a short burst of gunfire, still carrying the container under his other arm.

Then, as he made contact with the ground, he tucked and rolled, going right back to running forward.  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

Seeing him grab for his rifle, Edge started to throw more blades, focusing less on hitting him directly and just confusing his aim. If he had too many targets to focus on, she would have a better chance of a hit.

As the bullets veered towards her, Edge moved aside and started to run alongside on the wall of a building. No doubt he would stop to preserve anyone who may have been inside, though Edge doubted his bullets would even go through the walls. Had she thought they could go through, she would have ducked for cover.  

[Zahzi]

The Black Robot gave a growl, seeing what she did with the building before he was facing straight again.

Suddenly, he stopped running, as he had reached a dead end.

He gave a sigh, shaking his head and placing the container in a corner.

"FINE." he grunted, turning around to face Edge.
"You want me to fight you SO BADLY..." he told her, lowering his stance, but no longer carrying his rifle, which was now on his back once again.  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

Even as they reached a dead end and the rifle was set aside, Edge continued to charge forward to the Black Robot along the wall. When she was three yards away from him, she jumped upward and threw down saw blades in a blaze, focusing on hailing down the blades rather accurately aiming on him.

As she fell down, Edge fell towards him, as she intended. With only a few feet between them, she pulled back her arm, another saw blade in between her fingers. Rather than throwing it though, she intended to punch it in and through the Black Robot.  

[Zahzi]

The Black Robot charged toward Edge, running through the Sawblades in order to reach his target.

After getting close enough, he pulled his right arm back and threw it at her in a punch.  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

Both of the reploids got their hits, and ironically in the same area.

Edge's fist, in combination with her blade, ripped through the Black Robot's armor and locked in his chest.

The Black Robot's heavy weight and force blew a massive dent into Edge, damaging part of her core and energy. Her system was slowed, delaying reactions, putting her in a dangerous situation as her hand was stuck inside the Black Robot's chest.  

[Zahzi]

The Black Robot gave a pained grunt as the blade went through, but as his right arm went limp, it wrapped around hers, and locked it at the elbow, keeping it in place.

"I'm not built like you, Hunter." he growled, clenching his left fist before socking her right in the head. Hard.  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

Just before her head was hit, Edge was finally realizing her arm was not coming out of the Black Robot's chest. She struggled and pulled, only realizing he locked his arm on her's just as the blow came to her head. His weight and built played yet again. The area he struck bent and crunched, breaking Edge's already failing systems. Wouldn't matter if the EMF disappeared now, she would be going blind until she received repairs.

A moment after the blow, she started to struggle with freeing her arm. Even if she was trapped, she would not give up. She could still barely feel the blade in her fingers in his chest, and struggled more not to get free but to cut more of his insides. She'd be damn if she let him walk away from this fight.  

[Zahzi]

Feeling her attempt to move the blade, he pulled back his left fist again, and socked her in the same spot, but released her arm at the exact time.

Not allowing her to recover, he latched onto her shoulders and began to headbutt her on the forehead repeatedly.

His way of getting back at her for using the building as cover before...  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

After the second blow, the damage spread from being only a portion of her head to almost a third. Her failing systems sent Edge into swirling confusion as she stumbled backwards once she was finally freed from the Black Robot's lock. She couldn't get far though as she barely felt him grab her shoulders, only to be slammed in the face by his over and over again.

After the second headbutt, the light in Edge's eyes dimmed as she had no choice but to retreat into stasis and hope she could fool the Black Robot into thinking she died.  

[Zahzi]

After the third headbutt, he suddenly stopped and looked at Edge.
"What? Was that all you had?" he asked, staring at her dull expression.

He gave a grunt, dropping her next to the wall and walking back to the container.
After picking it back up, he looked back at her and gave a deep sigh.
"I never want to kill...You people never give me the choice...." he said aloud, walking out of the alleyway.

Fifteen minutes later, the EMF was lifted, and the sounds of things returning to normal could be heard, if Edge COULD hear..

The sounds included the sirens of the same crew that had picked up Dozer.
When Edge had disappeared, Hal had requested a team go after her.  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

Edge gave an inner sigh of relief, no longer feeling herself being beaten. Stasis was such an odd mode for her. Still aware and able to sense, just barely, but unable to do anything. But, if worked to fool the Black Robot into thinking he had killed her and thus stop the fight before she did really die.

Despite how uncomfortable stasis was, she was thankful to be in as she tossed aside. Even 'asleep' she could feel how bad that hurt. His remarks about "killing" her and the others made Edge grunt, but nothing would come out in the real world. Had he just listen to what I said, we wouldn't have to fight... She thought bitterly.

After what she thought heard the Black Robot leaving, Edge tried to pull herself out of the stasis, having no luck. Her energy was low, too low to fully pull out. She panicked slightly, fearful she was trapped. After five minutes of trying to pull out of stasis with no luck, she reluctantly gave up and rested with hopes of regaining enough energy to wake up.

Just short of ten minutes, Edge awoke and successfully got herself out of stasis, but just barely. She gave a sigh of relief, thankful to be conscious again. Though as pain settled in and her failing senses started, she started to doubt her thankfulness.
Luckily, help was arriving. Edge never though she'd be so happy to (barely) hear sirens coming as she crawled up against the wall to get on her feet.
