Alms reacted as soon as he confirmed the first bullet had made contact. Running through the programs once again, Madrys took aim at the same knee. The bullet travelled down the length of the gun, flying through debris and aiming for the exact same spot. However, Alms missed how quickly the Monarch had returned fire.

The Spire shuddered from the impact of several missiles. In the span of a second, the shuddering turned into a collapse. Chunks of stone fell as the Spire crumbled within itself. If Alms still could, he would be smiling right now. Setting the Plasma Rifle to charge, Madrys threw it around her shoulder. [color=2e3192]"Hey Freddy, Shall I jump?"[/color] Madrys' voice came out through the speakers within the Titan's cockpit. 

[color=007236]"Yes, jump towards the Monarch"[/color] Alms replied as they were falling on top and within the remains of the Spire. Two large flaps on the back of Madrys' chassis opened up. Within resonated twin engines, powered by the nuclear reactor in her core. Bending her knees, arching her soles, the tall Titan leaped forward as her weight made the falling rock turn in her direction. Leaping, dodging between falling pieces, Madrys exited the great cloud of dust right in front of the Monarch. Apparently, the Titan had been shooting at where Madrys was before they fell.

Landing, faster than human eyes could follow, Madrys pulled the sword from her waist in her right hand. With her left hand, the Titan grasped the hilt of the knife that adorned her chest. Stepping in close, Madrys' sword came to the neck of the Monarch as her knife rested against the wrist that held it's chain gun. Her boosters were still on standby in case she needed to get out quick.

Alms' voice resonated outside of Madrys as he spoke to the enemy Monarch directly. [color=007236]"Hey, Monarch, Would you mind leaving your Titan here and running away?"[/color] This was a technique that had won Alms' a lot of respect when he first joined the militia. The young Alms had a terrible propensity for making his enemies abandon their own titans, which would then leave Alms with all the spare parts he could ever want.
