[10]

[buildstherobots]

[Dist is out in his driveway, meticulously working with the Kaiser's gun. He'd been a bit nervous about powering him up, but unlike last time he didn't start sparking and exploding, so Dist decided to count his blessings. Later on he would do a more thorough inspection, but for the moment his main project was modifying the gun to fire something

[AND HERE'S JECHT, RUNNING UP TO FIGHT THIS THING]

"The hell...? A machina?"

[buildstherobots]

[lrdbkjal?]

What are you doing?!

[Dist hops out of the cockpit, moving to stand between the Kaiser and Jecht, detached gun pointed at him. It's currently empty, but he doesn't need to know that.]

[child_abuser]

[Undeterred, Jecht attempts to plow straight through Dist with a MANLY PUNCH TO THE FACE.]

"Shut up!"

[buildstherobots]

[Dist yelps and stumbles back, reaching up to touch his face gingerly. Was his lip bleeding?

Unforgivable.]

You savage brute!

[Not having any ammo to speak of in the gun, he simply moves forward and swings it solidly at the interloper's head.]

[child_abuser]

[Jecht was expecting a shot, but the gun's big and unwieldy enough that he's able to duck out of the way at the last second. Wasting no time with the counterattack, he lunges forward in an attempt to headbutt Dist in the midsection.]

"What's that damn machina doing here?"

[buildstherobots]

[When his swing doesn't connect, Dist can't help but stumble forward a bit from the force of it. It puts him off-balance, and he doesn't have time to get out of the way of the next attack. The wind is solidly knocked out of him and he drops to the concrete, coughing a bit.]

Don't you dare touch the Kaiser! He's mine!

[This being Dist, he's back on his feet as soon as he can breathe properly again, lunging forward to either knock Jecht out of the way or scramble up into the cockpit, whichever happened to be easier.]

[child_abuser]

[As soon as Dist is knocked down, Jecht keeps moving, attempting to scramble up the Kaiser himself. He's headed straight for the glowing green eye on the front.]

"Bet that's what keeps it runnin'!"

FOR MASSIVE DAMAGE

[buildstherobots]

No!

[Okay, this is getting personal. He grabs on to Jecht's leg and uses it for leverage in his scramble up into the cockpit; normally he wouldn't consider powering the thing up with no place to sit, but this is an emergency. He's on the control panel immediately, slamming his fist onto a conspicuous button and not even waiting for the Kaiser to power up fully before taking up the controls, swinging its arms violently to the side in an effort to toss Jecht away.]

[child_abuser]

[Jecht hangs on with all he's worth, but his grip is starting to slip - for all his training, this thing is a robot after all, and is a lot physically stronger than he is. Eventually he's flung free, but this doesn't stop him from charging straight back at the thing after he rolls back to his feet.]

"Shut that damn thing off!"

[buildstherobots]

[Dist pulls a lever and snaps the cockpit shut, so at least he can't be attacked directly. His footing isn't solid, but it's better than nothing. He snatches up the mouthpiece so he can still talk to Jecht.]

I'll shut it off when you leave me alone!

[child_abuser]

"Take it apart too! That shit's bad news!"

[Running and jumping toward the cockpit, fist extended like he's planning on just shattering straight through.]

[buildstherobots]

No it isn't! This is my masterpiece!

[He takes another swing as Jecht flies towards the Kaiser. He doesn't use the buzzsaw... yet.]

[child_abuser]

[And he's right back where he was a minute ago, grabbing onto the arm and trying to keep hold. This time, he's trying to slowly crawl his way down the arm as it flails around, hoping to make his way toward the robot's main body.]

"These damn things are cursed!"

[buildstherobots]

[Well, maybe he would have to use the buzzsaw. He powers it up, but doesn't attack with it yet; he shakes the other arm violently back-and-forth first.]

It isn't cursed! I built it myself; fontech isn't cursed!

[child_abuser]

[Has slowly inched his way to about the halfway point between the end of the arm and the base of the robot. Despite his best effort, his grip starts to loosen - however, this time, Jecht waits for the right moment and lets go just as the arm is swinging back toward the body before letting go. The momentum propels him toward the middle of the robot, and he just grins.]

"Gotcha!"

[buildstherobots]

[Okay, now the gloves come off. Of course, he'd have to get inside to do real, lasting damage, but the persistence is starting to grate on him. He steps the Kaiser back and swings the buzzsaw up; either it would run him through or he'd let go, and either one was fine with Dist.]
