Rygama had forgotten about two things aparently.
One was Riptide's Barrier Fields, which had been active at the time, and absorbed the greater portion of the impact, leaving the machine relatively unscathed.
The second was Riptide's use of RADAR and other sensor mechanisms, something Rygama had apparently not encountered before. He had detected her approach, and quickly hit upon a plan. Mere moments before she would crush him to death, Riptide rolled over, as Rygama slammed into his Barrier Fields once again, before bouncing off, stunned, but unharmed.
Riptide took the opportunity raise himself out of the crater, before targeting Rygama with his Plasma Cutters. Taking a page from her own book, Riptide launched himself at the behemoth, before driving the blades into her shoulders. Rygama's arms spasmed once, before locking in place, unable to move, as the muscles were cut off by the plasma blades. but the fun didn't end there.
Riptide's engines fired to life as he pushed both himself and Rygama's titanic bulk forward, smashing her through several blocks of buildings, each one imbedding all manner of debris in her exoskeletal armor, as well as smashing her up pretty good. Riptide skidded to a halt and used his momentum to deliver a kick that sent Rygama flying through a final building and into a pile of rubble.
Rather than let her escape, Riptide prepared to topple an additional strucutre over on top of the mutation, hoping to bury her alive...

Rygama snarled, climbing to her feet. Now she was pissed. She marhced forward, even as she building collapsed on top of her. Her tail quickly lashed forward, striking Riptide, imbedding the bladelike barbs in its chestplate. She quickly yanked her tail back, dragging the machine into the collapsing rubble with her. Both monsters vanished into a cloud of dust and debris as the remainder of the structure fell to the ground.
Riptide scanned its surroundings, hardly obstructed by the dust. Rygama was gone.
Almost on cue, the ground beneath Riptide's now half-submerged body began to heat up. Steel girders quickly melted into the ground, while rock became artificial lava in seconds.
Riptide was yanked downwards, pulled by an unseen force into the pit of rubble. The force's strength was enormous, dragging the mecha deep into the earth, lava all around. Bubbles of molten rock and metal popped in the night air as Riptide vanished beneath the surface.
Riptide's sensors stared into two violet, slanted eyes as Rygama's claws relaxed their grip around his knees, letting the machine join her in her homemade lava pit. She opened her jaws and lunged the the machine's muzzle.

But Rygama had forgotten one thing. Riptide's NXT sheath was specifically designed to not only absorb the massive amounts of heat from areas such as this, but his armor could withstand the pressure as well. Now, as she lunged for his mouth, he opened wide and said "ahh", with a plast from his Super NOVA Cannon. The heat was irrelevant, but the explosive force tore through Rygama's throat. Blood sprayed and quickly turned to vapor as the amalgamated kaiju jittered and twitched.
Riptide knew it would take more than that to down her, but he used the opportunity to pull himself out of the lava pit and take to the skies. There, he awaited Rygama with both Plasma Cutters, ready to slice and dice at a moment's notice...

Rygama erupted from the lava, shrieking in bloodlust. Her head lowered and her body accelerated. Riptide had little time to react as Rygama slammed her skull into the machine's abdomen, leaving a sizeable dent and sending it jolting backwards. The thrusters couldn't face the sheer force Rygama exerted, and the machine was pushed backwards.
Rygama pulled back and righted herself, facing Riptide in mid air.
Her arm swung upward, claws fully extended, ready to slice the machine's belly wide open.

Riptide parried with his Plasma Cutter. Sparks flew as the sheer density of Rygama's claws saved them from being shorn in two. However, her arm was less fortunate, as Riptide's other arm came around, stabbing upwards through her upper arm. The plasma blade sliced cleanly, as the flesh sizzled from the heat. Riptide jetted backwards, lest he be on the receiving end of another such attack.
He launched a volley of missiles before retreating towards the city below, hoping to use the buildings for cover as he planned his next move...

Rygama, however, would not be deterred by this. Her wings began vibrating more quickly and she lunged through the assault, charing right through the ensuing explosion as the projectiles.
Her gaze followed Riptide, even as he vanished into the city below. Rygama followed at full speed, keeping the machine's electrical signature in her sights.
Riptide was fast. Rygama was faster. The machine's sensors picked up Rygama's hulking form hot on his tail.
Rygama slammed into Riptide's back like an orca to a seal. Her weight forced the android to give, knocking it down with extreme force.
Riptide slammed into the pavement, continuing to move, even as he ripped into the ground. Sparks flew and chunks or armor were ripped free as the machine finally came to a stop, half immersed in the streets.
Rygama took this window of opportunity to position herself directly above Riptide, straighten her legs, feet-down, and drop like a rock, aimed right for the mech's spine.

Armor crunched beneath her titanic bulk as Rygama drove Riptide into the pavement. The machine was badly damage by this point, as sparks erupted form his joints. Still, he was functional, and had taken a worse beating at the hands of Neo-Spacegodzilla and survived. Now it was time to bring some serious pain. Using a combination of his own weight and retro-boosters, Riptide rolled to the side, knocking a surprised Rygama off of him as the machine flew down the street, only to turn about and right himself, facing one pissed off monster.
Twin blades of plasma energy erupted from his wrist units as he rushed at Rygama, knocking her arms aside before driving the blades into her gut. Rygama sreeched in fury and agony as the machine ripped the blades upwards, tearing into previous wounds as well as scorching open new ones. Evewn Ry's dense musculature was no match for the searing energy blades.
Riptide did not step back, and didn't bother trying to use ranged weaponry, right now, it was all about close quarters combat. He would take Ry apart one inch at a time if he had too, as he pressed the assault with his plasma blades...

Rygama screeched loudly and took a step back, seemingly trying to put some distance between herself and her opponent.
As such, it was all the more surprising when Rygama charged right at her enemy, wings beating wildly, yet not pulling her off the ground.
Rygama hissed and reared uper body upright as she came within an arm's reach of the android. With one bound she was off the ground, supported by momentum and her own wings. Furiously, she lashed out with one of her heavy, clawed feet, burying the spiked appendage in Riptide's crotch region. A split second later, she lashed out with her other foot, this one imbedding its talons in the machine's dented abdomen. The force of the blows forced Riptide back as Rygama kicked out again and again and again, "walking" up his body in her assault.
With one final kick, Rygama plowed her foot into Riptide's muzzle, knocking ther robot's head back at an angle that would've been sickening for a living creature. This kick was the hardest of all, sending the machine flying back not less than a block as Rygama pushed off of the robot's face and did a midair flip.
As Riptide slammed into the pavement, Rygama landed, kicking up a cloud of dust and debris as she did. She lumbered over to Riptide's downed form and aimed yet another kick at its head.

Riptide's vision blurred with static momentarily as the massive foot connected with his armor plated head. Things weren't going so well. however, there was still a way to end this on his terms. Riptide lashed out with his right arm, burying the plasma blade in Rygama's ankle. The mutation shrieked in agony as the blade bit deep. However, Riptide had driven the blade deep enough that the focusing arrays had also been embedded, which gave him a little leverage.
He yanked upwards, toppling Rygama over as he crawled on top of her body, before mercilessly letting loose with his Plasma Cutters, stabbing them into her torso like a crazed psychopath. Blood turned to a misty haze as the plasma blades vaporized more of the same with each successive strike. Rygama's torso looked like a block of swiss cheese, and she could only struggle helplessly, her back to the ground and her arms pinned beneath Riptide's knees.
The machine did not relent, even for a moment, as he went for the kill, continuing to raise and plunge his arms, driving for the ultimate prize of Rygama's demise...

Rygama, however, would not go down from such paltry strikes. With a roar of fury, she swung her body over, toppling Riptide from its perch and flinging it into the dirt.
Rygama rose, already sure of what she was going to do.
Before Riptide could get to its feet, Rygama turned her back to the fallen machine, pushed her legs out from under her body and toppled back-first onto Riptide's body.
Rygama's back was composed of approximately five plates of armor, while her neck held three. Each of these plates sported three colossal, bony spines, for a grand total of roughly twenty-four giant spikes. Twenty-four giant spikes lodging themselves into Riptide's body at once.
Rygama's immense weight forced her bulk down on the machine, piercing the armor, ripping circutry and inner workings apart. Every blow Riptide had dealt to Rygama with its blades was now being returned at once, full force.
Rygama hissed in delight as she heard the sounds of groaning metal beneath her. She thrashed for a moment, securing her spines deep into Riptide's armor, before rolling over.
It took a moment for Rygama to pry herself from the ground, but she managed to do so. In an instant she realized that Riptide was still clinging to her carapace, her spines wedged quite firmly into its armor.
With another roar, Rygama hopped backwards and slammed right back onto her back.

Riptide was once again sandwhiched between monster and pavement, and his systems had sustained critical damage. He would need to finish this quickly.
As Rygama prepared for another slam, Riptide lashed out with both arms, brining the Delta Blade arrays up to Rygama's throat, as he bit down on her from behind. While his jaws were nowhere near as capable as those of the Gojulas Giga's, they were enough to make Rygama howl in surprise, as he brought the blades across her throat, slashing open twin bleeding lines. Blood jetted out in a nasty arterial spray, as Rygama gurgled in mingled surprise and agony.
The machine pushed against Rygama, using his retro-rockets to remove himself from her carapace. There were a number of holes in his armor, but the main systems, including his dual reactor cores, were stil intact. He culd, and would, put an end to this, as he lunged for Rygama's back, ready to drive the Plasma Cutters through her spine...

Rygama, however, was not about to be brought down by such paltry weapons. As the machine lunged, she spun around, swinging her rigid forearm into the android's mechanical cranium, bending the head aside at a grotesque angle and halting its charge altogether.
Riptide found itself knocked right back into the pavement, its head permanently twisted to the side. Sparks danced from its entire form, signalling the havoc being wrought on its inner circutry.
Rygama had had enough of this pest. She looked to the fallen android to find that it was sprawled right in the shadow of a towering skyscraper. Perfect.
Rygama marched behind the cover of the fifty story office building and leaned inward, pushing on the structure with all her weight.
And several thousand tons of concrete and steel came crashing down onto Riptide...

As the building collapsed around him, Riptide raised his arms in a seemingly futile gesture of defense. When the dust settled, only a pile o frubble remained, and the machine was nowhere to be seen. However, before Rygama could celebrate her victory, the rubble began to shift, as Riptide revealed himself, having used his Barrier Fields to block the falling debris. He still had sustained some damage, but not nearly as much as anticipated.
The machine loosed a faltering mechanical roar as he stood, joints popping and grinding as he turned to face Rygama, his neck sparking as it re-aligned itself. He launched himself forward, using his engines to gain speed, before slamming into Rygama's upper half, toppling the mutation over and stabbing at her skull as they went. The Plasma Cutters were performing better againster her armored cranium as the two crashed to the ground, Rygama now sporting several smoking gashes in her head. Riptide continued to quest after whatever passed for her brain, hoping that might slow her down some...

Unfortunately, it didn't. At all.
As one of the blades bore through her eye panel and into her braincase, Rygama continued to lash out. One of her massive hands closed around the machine's arm, halting it where it lashed out. The other sized the robot's head and shoved it into her gaping maw, which immediately closed around its new occupant.
Riptide's armor groaned louder than ever as Rygama's titanic fangs bore into it, severing circutry in its embrace. Her jaws tightened ever more, forcing the android's jaws shut.
Rygama made no effort to get up, but rather focused all her energy on restraining the machine's arm while simultaniously biting its head off.

Riptide did the only thing left. He utilized his free arm, driving the Plasma Cutter into Rygama's throat. The plasma blade sliced through her neck, as Riptide twisted and moved the blade, ready to sever her jaw muscles in an attempt to free his head. It worked, momentarily, as he managed to yank his tremendously mangled face from out of her maw, mere fractions of a second before they snapped shut again.
Riptide's NXT sheath and TiTun armor plating had held up remarkably well, the damage was still severe. He continued to twist and dig the embedded plasma blade through her throat, using it to partially balance himself as he tried to put some distance between Rygama's head and his own...
