She screamed in pain, a burning sensation crawling across her skin. She had never been burnt before, much less on fire, and it [i]hurt[/i]. She rolled around, trying to extinguish the flame, still mindful of the Kobra agents and roided teenagers around them, coming at Aleen’a and Zach. She needed to get up, she needed to fight, but oh it hurt so bad- It took her a long moment, but she managed to stand, slowly, gingerly. The damage was only cosmetic- a quick run-through told her none of her essential systems had been damaged- but pain still rang through her body. Alisa staggered forwards. Some of the skin on her body had been burned or singed off, revealing the metal frame and wiring underneath. She felt vaguely embarrassed. But she could still go on, couldn’t she? [color=cornflowerblue]“I’m fine,”[/color] she murmured, more to herself but in earshot of Zach. She looked at Thiago, blue eyes settling on him. She noticed a… strange effect surrounding him, but she couldn’t quite figure out what it was. Was she angry? Yes, she was angry. [color=cornflowerblue]“You’re gonna regret that,”[/color] she yelled, raised her hand, and fired a blast from her sonic cannon. [Color=salmon]“I don't regret shi-”[/color] the blast entered the time-distortion field and knocked Thiago right on his ass. [Color=salmon]“Warp! What the hell! Your barrier is useless!”[/color] Warp grunted a few feet behind Thiago as he complained. He kept the barrier up regardless of what just occurred. [Color=royalblue]“And she ate your fireball like it was a snack! Shut it! The barrier works on most things! Just try to dodge those!”[/color] With a snarl, Thiago got back to his feet and recoiled upon getting a better look at Alisa. [Color=salmon]“She's a robot or somethin'… That just means I don't have to worry about killin' anyone.”[/color] With a glint in his eyes, Thiago began charging up an even more powerful attack between the palms of his hands. Alisa wasn’t entirely sure she could tank another hit like that, let alone one more powerful. She hesitated… but then she heard what he said. Her face twisted into a scowl. She couldn’t fire a blast powerful enough to kill him- he was helpless, enthralled, a victim- but if she knocked him out he wouldn’t get hurt. She didn’t want to hurt him. That forcefield hadn’t blocked her blast at all, so it must be broken. She could get through it. [color=cornflowerblue][i]Yeah. Yeah, I can do that.[/i][/color] Suddenly, Alisa lunged at him, lightning-fast curling her hand into a fist and preparing to hit him as hard as possible in the head. She glanced at the barrier, nervous, but ran at him anyways. [Color=salmon][I]Fast but…[/I][/color] Thiago thrust his hands forward, unleashing the full force of his flames at Alisa as she passed through the barrier. With flames engulfing her entire being, Thiago smirked… but only briefly as a burning metal fist breached through his attack and connected with his right temple. Thiago fell backward with a grunt. [Color=royalblue]“What in the actual…”[/color] He uttered not looking at the downed Thiago, but at the nightmare image that was Alisa who was a flaming metallic frame slowly falling apart. For a moment, Alisa didn’t realize what was happening. She certainly registered the fireball- that hurt more than the first one, but she was able to push through and hit Thiago- but she didn’t register that she was falling apart until her legs buckled beneath her. She started to scream, this time not just in pain but in terror and confusion. [color=cornflowerblue]“HELP! STOP! [I]HELP![/I][/color] Sheets of metal started to peel off her, revealing curling and spurting wires underneath. It was agony. She didn’t know what was happening, and it was happening [i]so fast[/i]. Her body fell to the floor, her legs now separate from her, her fingers being pulled off by some invisible force. She tried to crawl out of the forcefield, but couldn’t find the strength. Her eyes were filled with panic. [Color=salmon]“Don't… stop…”[/color] Thiago groaned as he slowly sat up while holding the spot where he was punched. [Color=salmon]“Take that bitch apart!”[/color] Warp nodded but appeared reluctant as Alisa's screams of agony left him shaken. The pain just got worse from there. Alisa could feel some of her internal systems start to break apart, and her voice became gargled and staticky. This was… what was this? Was she going to…? With a bit of remaining strength, she managed to aim her hand cannon up at Thiago and blast him in the face once more, before the hand cannon completely fell apart, taking her hand with it. It wasn't for naught as the close range of the cannon's blast knocked Thiago back and sent him rolling across the floor. Warp, not knowing what to do and fear gripping him, dropped the barrier and hurried over to Thiago. [Color=royalblue][I]Is he… No, he's just knocked out but…[/I][/color] Warp didn't want to fight anymore. Not even for [I]her[/I]. The barrier fell, but the damage was done. Whatever that thing was doing to her had stopped in its tracks, but her body wasn’t about to come back together. Alisa just laid there, her screams dissipating. She felt slower. What had that guy done to her? She turned her head and, although her vision was blacking out, saw the parts of her that had been ripped off laying on the floor, simply pieces of scrap metal. Distantly, she saw Zach still up and fighting. She knew she wasn’t dying. She couldn’t die. But she was… what had she been thinking about? She couldn’t remember, couldn’t recapture that train of thought. She never forgot things. Alisa felt whatever system ran inside her head slow to a stop, and then she lost consciousness, staring up at the ceiling with blank eyes as she shut down.
