Vallyrie didn't bother pulling up it's shield, not just because the machine gun fire wasn't enough of a threat but because it would cause her to slow down, and Rally couldn't afford to slow down. She heard the bullets bounce off her hull, a few managing to Peirce the bulky sheet of metal and ricochet inside. Her focus did not shift, even as the Sparos bobbed and weaved she did her best to keep it's attention set on her.

"Watch, you guys are going to love this!"

That was all she needed to hear as she blasted forth and ended her facade in a deliberately telegraphed thrust of her energy blade. The Sparos had no trouble dodging something so clumsy and simple and she braced herself as her interior sensors alarmed her for the incoming shoulder bash. The impact sent the Valkyrie sprawling backwards, slamming with enough force to launch Rally from her sitting position and knock the air out of her.

"Hull integrity at 73%" the computerized voice said calmly as Rally scrambled to return to her controls.

A second impact caused her machine to rumble, but this time it was not her being hit. Her cameras picked up the mini mushroom cloud formed by whatever deadalus had managed to throw. Her com sprung to life with his zealotry, spouting his valor loud enough to make her wince. Rally couldn't help but feel far less excited about their victory. From her mech she could see the destruction they had wrought on this innocent jungle. Trees lit aflame and scattered. Still, she knew better than to chastise battle hardened warriors, at least not while they were in combat.

"Good job, Deadalus" 

Her mech slowly rose up, dented but altogether no worse for wear.
"Any word from bumblesting?"
