He had her, he knew from the moment he went up he had exactly what he needed to finished. His rifle slammed a new bullet in as he took aim. He leveled it at her mechs chest and the bullet left the chamber, the force of the impact alone would send her backwards as he let off two more rounds, one aimed to take out her axe the other a second shot at her shielding. His anti-mech rifle's power was devastating and the pilot inside was a grade a sniper. He was managing this manual controls which he fought and battled with constantly to keep the aim dead on. 

However kick of the rifle it's self had damaged the arms of his mech and weakened his shield system. Yet as the last shot went of the kick pushed him back towards the water. He was falling back towards it as he went in backwards never taking his attention away from Ciell. His thruster's went off flying him away from the platform sudden they changed direction and he zoomed up leveling his rifle as he hover above her. He opened voice comms. "Is that all you got, the prodigy defeated by cripple in a manual controlled Knight?" He taunted, she deserved it for how she treated him earlier he might have gotten hurt be he would be a squad leader and she wouldn't ignore him like a fly on the wall then.
