[color=007236][i]"...We probably should've expected him to be able to tear through them like wet tissue paper..."[/i][/color] Gaia commented in the mind scape at seeing Pulse going on the rampage. [i][color=007236]"Well, here he comes. Oh, and as a heads up? If you get your butt kicked, don't bother blaming anyone else but yourself since YOU'RE the one who got him riled up."[/color][/i]

[i][color=00a651]"Gee, thanks for the bout of confidence, partner..." [/color][/i]Evergreen thought back to her as he watched the merc launch himself into the air and descend on his position with the kind of ferocity more suited to a berserk viking warrior. 

Jaden knew he should've been afraid...that perhaps he should've listened to Equilibrium's request and just done what was demanded of him. It would've been easier on everyone, and self-preservation was part of human nature...but Jaden was never one to turn his back on his friends and those he'd sworn to protect. 

As such, filled with new determination, he swapped out all the weapons for hands again, and rose them all together, just in time to catch Pulse's latest attack, the force of which proceeded to shove him backwards along the ground hard enough that he had to dig his feet into the ground and hold on as he tried to withstand it. Two of his arms ripped themselves out due to the strain...but Jaden refused to budge.

His efforts were rewarded as he finally came to a stop. He glared up at Pulse through his mask, [b][color=00a651]"Don't underestimate me, Mercenary..."[/color][/b] With that, he leaped away from him and got in a fighting stance, raising both arms as he put one leg forward and pulled back one arm, leveling his gaze at Pulse like he'd seen in one of his self-defense tapes. 

Jaden kicked off the ground, taking off with surprising levels of speed and agility as he leaped and started running on the side of a building before switching to another, building up ever-increasing momentum. As he neared Pulse's position, he leapt towards him and, while still in the air, he launched another bouquet of explosive roses towards him...only to follow up with a massive barrage of rapid-fire fisticuffs from the two oversized extra arms he still had. 

Now, one would ask why go for a direct attack when that had already proven to be less than effective....well, believe it or not, the warrior actually had a plan in mind....and it had to do with his severed arms. As the attack went on in front, the two arms broken off by Pulse's previous attack suddenly twitched and came to life, breaking apart into swarms of various insects that began skittering along the pavement towards where Pulse was in the hopes of possibly holding him down and diverting his attention.

As this went on, Jaden leaped high into the air and rose an arm up, his two extra appendages raising up as well and twisting together like a DNA helix as the remnants from all his fallen constructs flew through the air to join them. The entire mess swirled and meshed together until it formed a giant fist several times Evergreen's size! 

Straining to hold it up, his feet morphed into wing turbines and began spinning at high speeds, generating cyclones powerful enough to dig through concrete and blasting him high into the air. Angling himself, he reinforced the giant fist's density as he descended towards Pulse with such might that the winds alone made the surrounding rooftops buckle and shake, some even flying off as the makeshift rocket punch went for its target. 

Overkill? Maybe on a lesser target, but the merc had already proven he could take a beating so this was actually called for.
