"I wouldn't be so sure of yourself, Magenta Reaper," chided Ochre Technic, unflinching in face of the infernal Avatar charging at him. He raised his cloak and deflected the first swing off to the side, then with his free hand took off his top hat. "A flying Avatar certainly isn't as unique as it used to be, the trick is to distract you from doing so." A cylinder materialized from above the hat, and anticipating the next scythe blow, Ochre Technic ducked and flung out his cloak this time. Powder the color of burnt sienna was sprayed onto Magenta Reaper's head section, meant to temporarily blind him. The pop of a pulled pin was then heard, and Ochre Technic casually tossed the cylinder in front, then took cover behind his cape for the 2.5 second time to detonation of the stun grenade. // Nyx's chains bounced harmlessly off Cyber Yellow's forcefield, but Yellow Beetle's special attack managed to be somewhat effective, causing the energy barrier to waver as the radiation continued to emanate from its body. Kris couldn't immediately capitalize though, instead redirecting his chains to wrap around the staircase and preventing his long fall downwards. He hung there and began to swing to regain momentum, while accessing the battlefield. With Magenta Reaper and Ochre Technic locked in a stalemate of two Level 5 Avatars, no other power players remained to interrupt his fight with the hacker. He was confused by Green Deer's passivity however, and hoped he wasn't interpreting that she would come to the defense of the hacker. But it was almost time for him to finalize his allegiances... // Scarlet Gunner, the lone forgotten bot, stood confused on the same ledge Yellow Beetle had dived off of and attacked their creator. Its primary directive in the case of the hacker spawning in was to protect her at all costs, but the exception of another bot turning traitor was against its secondary, less defined directive against attacking allies (ironically implemented after the first battle against Green Deer and Gunmetal Fog). While it motionlessly ran its processes over and over and failing to pass any actions, Cyber Yellow created her staircase in the hope of escape from this illogical battle. If Scarlet were to become self-aware at this moment, its first musing would be on how the stairs seemed to stretch to infinity...
