The monster's instincts took control and he hugged his chest and body with his arms and legs. The beast was bowled into the buildings, sending a kingdom of fire into the sky. As the flames licked at the dino-bug's form, he stood up, snarling and shouting as the two looked at one another.
With a surprising burst of speed, the mutant charged forward, all but a mere blur. The ground shot up around him from the sonic boom before the two collided. The beast's claw thrusts forward, stabbing into Riptide's chest. His stinger, at the same time, comes down, stabbing into the back.
A shriek came from the mech's maw before the appendages pulled out and he fell back in a smoking heap. Flames spewed from his maw as Scorpadon lifted his leg, ready to bring it down on his throat.

Fortunately, Riptide's armor was designed to handle such crushing blows, so the damage was minimal. Unfortnunately for Scorpadon, he was at point blank range for a devastating attack. Riptide's arms lifted as he fired his Electorshock Anchors into Scorpadon's gut, pumping over a million volts of electricity into the beast.
As Scorpadon screamed in agony, Riptide powered up his Super NOVA Cannon and fired it at point blank range, knowing full well that Scorpadon could not counter such a move without serious harm to himself...

Scorpadon attempted to lift his claw to block his face. An explosion tore through the air in front of the beast, the force alone lifting the behemoth off of the air and throwing it back. Scorpadon smashed on his back before bouncing in the air once. His front side and claw smoked and sizzled, but the terror refused to die so easily.
The monster stood up and walked forward with a limp. Strands of saliva fell from his fangs and mandibles as he let out a shriek-like call. The monster fell forward, its hind legs bending and side-legs sticking out to the side as its arms and claws stretched out passed its head.
Stanching himself like a scorpion would, the monster lifted his tail. Riptide's head tilted to the side, confused at the sudden stance shift the bipedal monster just took. With surprising speed and strength, the scorpion leaped forward. Its twin pincers snapping closed around the shoulders and armpits of the robot.
The spear-like legs of the beast stabbed into the sides as they fell back. The stinger lifted and shot forward, implanting itself firmly in the green orb on the mech's chest. The monster's body pulled up and rolled backward as Riptide's maw spewed a stream of sparks and smoke.
Scorpadon let out a terrible, low-pitched roar as his maw shot open. A flash of light followed, and then the Ion Beam fired, heading straight for the hole.

But Riptide had taken far worse punishments and kept going before, and he could do it again. His vernier boosters kicked in, allowing him to jet to the side as the Ion Beam passed harmlessly by his face. Then, Riptide changed directions, jetting right at Scorpadon. At the last second, he extended his arms, as a pair of Plasma Cutters shot from the focusing arrays, and then stabbed themselves into Scorpdon's gut, before the machien ripped them upwards, tearing a pair of massive gashes along the creature's front half.
Scorpadon recoiled in agony as Riptide prepared to swing both blades across the insectoid's midsection...

The blades cut across, burning large, black stretch marks on his stomach before pulling back. The war-bot let out a victorious shriek, but that shriek soon turned into a cry as Scorpadon's four, spear-like spider legs lashed out. The first two stabbed themselves where the arms and body met, right in the armpits. The other two lashed downward, stabbing into the shoulders at a vertical mark.
The monster sneered. Drool dripped from its white fangs and large mandibles. Its eight eyes reflected the image of Riptide as its maw opened up. His head leaned forward.. ready to rip his enemy's throat out with his spider legs still stabbed in.

The maw clamped down on Riptide's armor throated, and began to squeeze. But the metal was tough, and th eNXT exterior was even tougher, and would not give so easily. As Scorpodon was chowing down, Riptide's arms were rendered essentially useless because of Scorpodon's claws. His options were limited, but not out.
Riptide's thrusters kicked in, proppelling both of the combatants into the air. Scorpadon seemed loathe to give up his prize, but that was alright. Even as the metal on hsi throat screamed and bent with the awsome force of the monster's bite, Riptide kept ascending, until finally, he leaned forward, putting Scorpadon firmly between himself and the ground. Scorpadon's eyes widende din terror, but it was too late by then. The war machine's engines thrust them both at the ground at high speeds, before finally slamming into it, smashing Scorpadon between ard, unyielding earth and 120,000 tons of metal.
Blood sprayed from between Scorpadon's armor plating in rivers, as Riptide picked himself off the flattened bug, hsi throat armor twisted and dented, but not stripped away, yet. Scorpadon stirred weakly, blood pouring out of every orifice, as Riptide lowered his shoulder cannons and prepared to fire them at the beast...

Scorpadon hissed softly just as the cannons fired. Dents were scattered about the insect's exoskeleton, some of the blasts even throwing chunks of raw meat and blood into the air. The beast shouted and cried before his wings exploded from his back, each glowing white.
The mech wants a beam war.
Scorpadon shall answer.
The wings flapped once more, and as before, sent thousands of Ion Needles at the mech. Riptide fell behind a wall of fire as his armor was torn about. As tough as it is, the multiple strikes from the assault was going straight through it. As the dust cleared, Riptide's chest and upper body took the most of the damage. His throat was now covered in broken holes and stripes of black circuity, as was his chest.
The insect stood up, drool dripping from his mandibles as he took aim to fire the Ion Beam at his damaged throat.

Riptide rolled aside as the Ion Beam exploded beside him. In retaliation, he fired his Electroshock Anchors from hsi prone position, pumping millions of volts of electricity through his opponent. Scorpadon writhed and shrieked like a bug caught in a giant bugzapper, before Reiptide finally retracted the cables, leaving the insectoid's smoldering hulk behind on the ground, as he stood up.
Riptide crouched low over Scorpadon, knowing he was in a dangerous position, but one he aimed to capitalize on. He pinned Scorpadon's lower two spider legs beneath his knees, then pinned the wrists between the openings in his wrist blades, before firing up the Plasma Cutters and the Super NOVA at the same time, hoping to practically slice Scorpadon's wrists apart, as well as blow the insectoid's face to pieces....

Riptide had, unknowingly, made one of the biggest mistakes thus far. He may have had the monster pinned, but the scorpion had another tactic up his sleeve that was just for this sort of problem. Its mandibled maw opened and closed and his purple eyes flashed with white, burning light. Riptide roared aloud and brought down its blade, but its entire body soon became host to a wave of energy.
Its form was blasted off of Scorpadon's body. Armor and circuits burned as he fell back from the insect's under-used Ion Pulse. The ground burned beneath his shell as he stood up, looking at his downed foe. The beast snarled and clamped his claws closed, making the noise echo. The long, stinger-ending tail rose up and came to the side, it now aiming for the once-green orb on Riptide's chest.

The stinger jammed itself deep into Riptide's chest, but the machine no longer cared. Scorpadon was vulnerable, and the NXT sheath had protected him from quite a bit of the insectoid's energized projectiles. But as Scorpadon tried to extricate himself from his foe, Riptide sprung into action.
He slammed both Plasma Cutters into Scorpadon's sides and ripped them upwards, tearing through the armored exoskeleton like tissue paper and leaving a pair of deep, smoking gashes along the flanks. Scorpadon howled in agony as Riptide then proceeded to keep the insectoid close with one hand holding the stinger, and prepared to jam the other Plasma Cutter into the beast's gut...

Unfortunately, the mech had forgotten about one of Scorpadon's other powerful limbs. Not the claws or the feet, but the four spider leg-like spears that were already unfolding from his body. Just as the weapon grew closer, all four spears shot around and stabbed into the shoulders and arms. The hand gripping the tail released it, a sickening grinding of metal indicating that something inside had snapped.
The other side wasn't as fortunate. The top spear buried itself deep within the shoulder. As a cloud of black smoke and flames gushed from the twisted metal, the other spear had gone right into the elbow. The arm couldn't move with it in, and without it.. Who knows.
With a terrible screech the scorpion yanked his spears from Riptide's body and leaped backward with a groan. Riptide, even as a mech, looked down as his damaged arms. His maw, half-open, let out a low moan. A hiss-like warning came from Scorpadon's dinosaur-like maw before his wings exploded from his back. The translucent color growing a burning white in color as he prepared to unleash the Ion Swarm.

Riptide countered with the Super NOVA, the twin beams of energy colliding in mid-air, pushing at each other as each applied more and more power. But Riptide had the advantage. His shoulder cannons powered up and delivered their payloads in combination with the Super NOVA. The triple strike was too much for Scorpadon's beam, and the four weapons were forced back into the amalgam's maw, where they exploded with terrific force, shredding Scorpadon's face apart, leaving a bloody mess where the maw used to be.
But Riptide did not relent. He kept his weapons focused on the beast, continuing to blast away at his opponent, even as Scorpadon dropped to the ground and tried to shield his blasted face. After almost a minute of intense fie, Riptide's weapons overheated, and he was forced to break off the attack. Scorpadon was a burned out wreck. Scorched and blasted areas covered his body, and hsi face was barely recognizable under the blood and burns.
Riptide came up behind scorpadon, keeping the tail held down with a foot, and decidedly well out of range of the spider legs, before smashing Scorpadon's face into the ground with one hand, and preparing to stab into the base of the skull with the blades on the other arm...

The blade came in contact with the beast's hard exoskeleton and sent splinters of pain racing through the Ion Mutant's body. The insect cried in rage and snarled as he struggled beneath the towering juggernaut, but the mech had made the mistake once again.
Scorpadon's eyes flashed with white energy before its body seizure with power. The machine was thrown back, smashing hard on its back as smoke and steam rose from the various areas that had come in direct contact with Scorpadon's Ion Pulse. The king of insects stood up and shuck the pain from its head, the blade penetrated his armor, but had not been given enough time to plow the blade in to severely hamper him.
A hiss came from its shut maw as he walked over to the downed mech. He walked around the machine and stood on its arms, preventing it from moving them and then lifted his stinger.. The deadly weapon looking to make the machine deep throat it.

Riptide's arms shot out and gripped the appendage in mid-strike, managing to hold it at bay meer inches from his damaged throat. Scorpadon snarled in pain and tried to force hsi weapon in, but Riptide had other ideas. Twin anchor and cable setups shot from the undersides of his wrist and buried themselves in Scorpadon's rear end, before surging massive amounts of electrcity through the beast. Scorpadon howled in agony as smoke poured from his wounded form, and he jittered and jerked, like a mosquito caught in a bug zapper. The energy coursed back into Riptide via his own hands, but the NXT layer there was undamaged, so he could re-absorb and apply the power elsewhere, namely his guns.
The ANECs and the Super NOVA powered up and fired, even as Riptide gripped Scorpadon and contiued to pump him full of electricity. And should the beast try to pulse energy back along the cables, well, Riptide was equipped to handle that...

Riptide, as strong and deadly as the mech was, had simply one disadvantage against the king of bugs: it didn't have as many limbs. Even with his stingers and claws snapping, his spider-like legs shot forward. The top two stabbed into the mech's forehead, sending a fountain of showers. The bottom two lanced downward, digging themselves into its chest where if it had nipples that's where they'd be.
The machine, roaring in rage, was oblivious as Scorpadon yanked the cables from his body and unfolded his wings, zooming backward, ripping the spears out, and then firing away with his Ion Beam.
