The Gundam leaps clear, whirling to face the second bravest. Its beam scythe is in the wrong position to cut, but the handle comes back with brutal force. The Leo slams to the tarmac, and the Gundam follows it, pinning the cockpit under the blunt end of an energy weapon. It takes seconds, only seconds, for the weaker mobile suit's structure to collapse under the killing pressure.
/This is necessary -- This is necessary --/
Another Leo has stayed its distance, dropping the useless drum-fed guns in favor of the till-now holstered beam rifle. The bright shots vanish into the black haze as the Gundam twists and dodges impossibly fast, zig-zagging the distance between them in a heartbeat per thundering step. The Leo shifts back, grimly settling its footing for a wrestling match. The Gundam lifts off the ground with a protesting scream of air and mortar, thrusters carrying it just far enough above the ground to make a mockery of flight. The Leo pauses to shift its aim upwards, and in that instant the Gundam slams into it, carrying it into the black cloud. Once hidden in the smoke, the other soldiers can see nothing of the Gundam -- after a moment, the radar blip signaling a friendly suit blinks out.
/Life feeds on life Feeds on life/
It sweeps back onto the ground like an echo of a meteor, dropping the shattered corpse of the Leo to bounce on the pavement as it descends. But this time, the mobile suits are waiting for it. Another Leo topples lifeless to the ground, but two more converge from either side, hammering it from either side with the strength of a volcano. "Learning a little, aren't you?" Shinigami hisses from the green-lit darkness of the cockpit. "But you ain't learned enough -- you can't keep a good Gundam down!"
