Silent Requiem vs. Strider
The sound of metal shredding through metal reached Adam's ears through his mech's sensors. Satisfied that the blades had done their job, he retracted them. He was hit from behind with a light scattering of machine gun fire, but this was no short range attack from a shotgun and did little more than scratch up his armor, which quickly compensated. Even better, it seemed Strider had satisfied the conditions for his Signature with her retreat. "It seems you've made a foolish mistake, this battle is mine." He sneered over the comms. Any sense of trying to toy with her was gone, he was convinced he had the upper hand now. "Alpha Screech." He whispered menacingly. Silent Requiem began emitting a mind melting wave of ultrasonic vibration. The few people in the stands all keeled over in pain, unable to move. Adam felt a slight disdain toward Sleeping Bear for being too lazy to even put in protective shielding in his arenas. But he didn't have much time to focus on that, his Signature wouldn't last long, he'd have to work quickly. He had enough time for one attack and he had no intention of wasting it. He pivoted and charged directly at Strider. Just before he collided he extended the large majority of his mechs blade's, transforming into a whirling orb of death. The blades ground against the immobilized Strider, ripping into her armor. A moment later Adam launched off. His attack wouldn't have done very severe damage, even against weak armor like Strider's, but if he could keep her on the defensive he would very quickly find another chance to activate his signature and perform the same maneuver again. Four or five more hits like that and he'd have won.
(OOC: Just to be clear, jumping back in surprise at the damage was what triggered the "off-balance" condition. So just because he struck her again doesn't mean he can trigger his signature again right away, Morgan has to react in a way that gives Adam control of the scenario. And of course two observance points means she can figure that out, so I think Adam may be being a tad cockier than he should be... Just a tad)
