[b][color=Cyan]"Have you ever heard the term: Deus Ex Machina? I haven't been called that yet, but I know someone who has."[/color][/b] Equilibrium waited patiently for War-Pulse to move; after all, he had the advantage here, right? [b][color=Cyan]"And a force of nature, huh? Makes sense, especially with those powers of yours. The forces of physics are the most primal of all." [/color][/b] Then, War-Pulse started to move his arm, mimicking Equilibrium's earlier finger gun, shooting out a kinetic bolt towards the Hellbeast Laser. The laser fired, to be deflected and  only cut into the ground, melting the concrete and asphalt into slag, and leaving the mercenary unharmed. 

Folding his laser back into the armor plate, Equilibrium followed War-Pulse's form with his sensors, as he eventually stopped behind an eighteen-wheeler, presumably to form an attack strategy. Equilibrium approached warily, and aimed his Shiva machinegun. While it was proven to be ineffective, the explosive rounds could also explode the semi truck, if need be. What happened next was completely unexpected, proving that War-Pulse was deserving of the title of a 'force of nature'. 

As soon as the eighteen wheeler began to fly at him, time seemed to slow down for Equilibrium. He began to process things mechanically, and seek the most viable solution. 

>Situation: 18 wheeler Semi, flung by War-Pulse. Well within the lifting power of the ATD.
>Conjecture: Either catch the vehicle, or cut in half, with the DMS.
>Juxtaposition: War-Pulse is extremely erratic, so caution is advised. 

Time sped up, and Equilibrium quickly popped out the DMS melee weapon from his arm compartment, and within a half a second, was at full rotation. Bracing himself, Equilibrium ducked, and held up the giant tungsten-steel chainsaw, shearing the tractor and the container both in half. The fuel tank exploded, rolling flames blasting around the mech, and eventually raising to the sky. The mech stood up, looking for War-Pulse, only to see him about to punch him in the faceplate. Equilibrium assumed that he had used the semi as a launchpad, and gravity for more momentum. 

There wasn't enough time to fully dodge the attack, so Equilibrium did the next best thing. Aiming the 'Pegasus' jets, so that they would launch him up [i]towards[/i] War-Pulse, Equilibrium took the punch square in the chest. The Merlin shield buckled for a brief second before giving out completely, energy depleted. Knocked down to the ground, Equilibrium landed on his back, [i]hard.[/i] Cracks forming in the pavement around him, Equilibrium knew that he had to act fast, or he would get pinned down. Bursting the jump jets, he slid along the concrete, digging a trench in the concrete. As soon as he had reached a suitable distance, he would perform a feat of surprising acrobatics, a backflip, landing in a combat ready position. He needed some way to end this fight quickly, and nothing that he had on the ATD would be powerful enough. 

Searching outwards with his ECM suite, Equilibrium took control of the first vehicle he could find, a news helicopter, reporting the fight. Not even thinking about the civilians within, he drove it down, directing it to fly into War-Pulse at all possible speed. Returning his attention to the mercenary, he tracked the Meta, and updated the piloting information to hit the current position of War-Pulse. Hopefully this would help end the fight, either to let Equilibrium get away, or put War-Pulse down.
