[color=ed1c24]"I'm BUSY! Someone rescue him!"[/color] Bill said as he parried, and dodged around the machine it didn't even come near scratching Exalted as he hurriedly moved around enemy skirmisher the AI kept up with him but Masurao's specs horribly outclasses it, and Bill wasn't going to be defeated by some robot. He was White Lightning that which came after thunder! Strike down the enemy with force, and divine wrath! Bill calmly thought of all the ideas he could to destroy the thing but he wanted to consider the idea of striking the thing more for more points that would be needed in the exam that would occur in a few days. However he was aware of his team he knew they at least were holding their own. If they couldn't...well Celestial Star would finally drop it's name after he was done with it. The larger bulkier brawlers kept their shields up, and absorbed the blow from the concussive blast that followed however due to the nature of the grenade it took them a moment to reorganize themselves. This time they moved forward out in a fan formation to minimize group damage. They had taken very little armor damage from the shot due to their shields. One broke off to fight Sara keeping it's shield up and swinging it's large weapon at her. The other charged directly at Rio this one using a sub machine gun loaded with kinetic rounds to try and gun her down as quick as possible. However it was quickly cut off by Ogre which slammed into it's shield and made it useless. In retaliation the machine used pushed forward against Ogre pushing it back despite the fact that it's shield was now rendered essentially useless the virtual machine still could use it for leverage to keep Ogre from destroying it. In doing so it prevented itself from being tripped, and swung at Ogre's side with a power blow committing itself to crushing Ogre as it was now stuck in it's shield. The snipers carefully aimed, and shot at Rio keeping her from actually providing proficient cover fire they spread out to cover more angles, and any grenades thrown were quickly shot out of the sky by the ai with superb accuracy. [color=ed1c24]"Fine I have no choice then!"[/color] Bill grumbled as he feinted with his right blade to the machine which took the bait he then quickly activated Masurao's energy mode and used his left sword slammed the blades into the machine and saw it fall down once he had proficiently beat it into a pulp as it couldn't react as fast as Masurao could move. [color=ed1c24][i]"Exalted...you won me that fight that easily? Normally AI on this level should be able to react to that..."[/i][/color] Bill thought to himself as he quickly charged towards the enemy sniper not intending to let them focus on Rio. One of them broke off and started to snipe at him which quickly put Bill on his back foot he couldn't get anywhere close.
