Higan’s Mech might have been in trouble if its hands were made of flesh and bone and connected to a nervous system, but so long as it were operable it had no reason to stop its grab. The blade slashed into the heavy metallic plating surrounding its ‘fingers’ and cut deep, but it was a futile effort as the Mech wasn’t going to jerk back and stop its grab just because it had been injured, that wasn’t what machines do. Instead it continued to force its way through, easily overpowering the smaller man and taking advantage of his precarious position clinging to the Mech with one free hand. It was just going to grab him across his left side now though as his arm was up in the air and unavailable, and because he had attempted a haphazard attack there was no time to jump off like he should have done in the first place.

When the Mech caught him it would crunch down and grip hard, easily lifting his weight with a single hand, prepared for the coup de grace.
