"I told her we'd meet her on the way," he explained, mid-stride in the very fast walk he'd been using. "I just hope we don't pass each other by completely."

Which he was, literally right now since they were running together. Well, not so much running and moving quickly. Terra could tell Linkara was excited and he couldn't blame him, he would be too if the tides were reversed. Besides, Terra was curious to meet friends of Linkara's, so far he'd only met Mechakara and that was no friend.
"Don't worry. We'll meet her I'm sure." Linkara had a bond with this Iron Liz and Terra had no doubts that the bonds of the heart would bring them together. If only he knew how wrong he was.

In a swift, silent motion, she darted out of the alley, behind the two of them, and grabbed Linkara's friend by the wrist, twisting his arm sharply behind his back as she touched Frostmourne's blade to his neck. A wicked smile crossed her face as she made eye contact with Linkara.
"Hello, lover."

Never mind just the words - all of this was wrong. Liz would never use those words, especially not in that tone; she'd never wait in the shadows; she wouldn't attack Terra, not if it was obvious he was with Linkara, which it was; and-
-And that was the wrong sword.
He wasn't gaping for long. A split second later, everything clicked, and his face twisted into a snarl, the magic gun out of his holster and pointed at her - as much of her as he could see behind Terra, at least - in the blink of an eye. "Who are you? And what did you do to Iron Liz?"

He'd chosen a nice nearby rooftop as a vantage point. His senses were far superior to a human's, so distance wasn't an issue for him. He watched as Liz chose her hiding place and waited. He watched as Linkara came running, dragging along one of his little friends. Mecha recognized the man from his research: Terra, a Keyblade wielder, like the woman he had fought previously.
It was clear at that point that this fight would not go as Judas had planned. Still, Mecha stayed where he was, watching. If the woman fell, then she wasn't worth working with.

She considered herself someone with a high tolerance for pain, but she had been lucky enough to not have to include gunshot wounds to the pain list until now, and as the adrenaline started to wear off everything started to really hurt, and this building was entirely way too many stories to climb all the way to the roof, which gradually made her hobbling run become a painful crawl, dragging herself up the stairs with her hands.

At least she'd managed to get away properly. The robot watched her slow progress up to the roof, tapping his robotic fingers against the edge of the roof thoughtfully. She'd failed, yes. But he knew she was capable; he'd seen what she could do. Mecha didn't like to consider himself forgiving of the faults of humans, but surely any ally was better than none?
Finally, the robot rolled his eyes and started down the fire escape towards Judas. Upon reaching the fallen woman, he looked her over coolly. "Can you stand?"

Then as she took one last step to meet with him, her body apparently decided at last that it couldn't take it anymore, and she keeled unceremoniously onto him, not even able to catch herself on his shoulders before she blacked out.
