The battle was finally over. As the last enemies fell and spirits were collected, Michael was glad that it was over. Finally, he could sit down, take a deep breath, and-

Wait a second.

In his peripheral vision, Michael could see a skinny, metal leg. Looking up, he saw the omnic Slicer, charging its laser down at him. In that brief moment, time seemed to stop, and Michael took a moment to contemplate his life choices. [color=00aeef][i]Oh. Shit. SHIT![/i][/color]

Before the Slicer could shoot a gaping hole in his chest, it was hit by gunfire from below, staggering it. With a sudden rush of adrenaline, Michael rolled on his side, getting out of the omnic's line of fire before pulling himself up. As he got onto his feet, he instinctively reached into his coat pocket for his Uzi, only to find it wasn't there. His heart skipped a beat as felt the empty holster, before remembering what he had done with the weapon.

Turning around, he could see his allies engaged in combat, with the Centurion getting hit with lasers, and the Master fighting in melee combat with the omnics. He turned to see Din attempting to pull the trigger on his Uzi, but nothing happened. Before long, one of the robots launched a spin attack to knock the gun out of her hand. [color=00aeef][i]Fuck! I forgot about the safety![/i][/color] In his haste, he hadn't considered the fact that Din likely had never used a gun before, and would have no idea on how to operate it. Now, whatever advantage that it would have provided was null, and with his rifle far too bulky to use in close range, Michael was left unarmed and surrounded by enemies. 

Before he could make any moves, the Slicer from before charged at him. He couldn't tell if its weapon was still working, and he didn't want to find out. As the omnic got close, Michael kicked it in the turret, sending it reeling back. With the few seconds that the kick had bought him, he ran in the opposite direction, retrieving his Uzi from the ground. Flicking the safety off, he hardly bothered aiming as he pointed it in the direction of the Slicer and pulled down on the trigger, releasing a volley of 9mm fire at the omnic.
