Chapter 4 by crono04 crono04

Not lookin' good.

Berserker!

The situation is looking bad. It didn't take long for those Raptors to half-destroy Jehuty and you along with it. It reminds you of Evangelion, where Shinji fought the first Angel and got his ass handed to him. If Unit-01 hadn't lost it's mind, he would have...

Hmm. That might work.

"ADA, forget about defense and just focus on killing these Raptors!"

[Not advised.]

"Trust me, it'll work. The more time we spend fighting, the more chances they have to hurt us. You have to overwhelm them with pure **** and never give them a chance to hit us back!"

[Roger.]

ADA's panels flash brightly and it's movements become much faster. The scenery swirls and turns to streaks moving in every direction as Jehuty's arms swing the blade and fire shots without end. Raptors fall and explode, the cluster of them thins every few seconds. Its working! Aside from the rumbles of impact that even Jehuty's cockpit shocks can't completely dampen, the battle seems to be turning in your favor.

[Damage level exceeding 75%]

"That much!? But they only hit us a few times since fifty!"

[Most if Jehuty's weapons and armor had to be removed for repairs following the defeat of Orbital Frame Anubis. They have not yet been recovered, making Jehuty susceptible to damage more easily.]

"Stupid space-mechanics. What should we do?"

[I recommend we flee the battle.] In the first two games, that would have seemed too cowardly and not fun to consider, but with the action as real-feeling as this, it doesn't seem like bad advice. Still, even if you run, the Raptors will chase you, so its not like you'll really be escaping the fight. At best, you can move to a more advantageous location, though being on Mars, you have no idea where one might be. If you leave, it'll probably only delay the fight and as far as you know, Jehuty doesn't regenerate health on it's own without Mummy. If you stay and fight, you can get it over with on your own terms but its becoming likely you won't survive.

Fight or flight?

More fun
