Ariin chuckled, he felt... Euphoria, his mind and the Frames connected like he was extension of the frame. He smiled looking at the mammoth machine before them, death no longer mattered this was heaven to him. He forget the burning along his body, he focused on Paladin and what the machine must feel. He turned bringing his shield into extend mode, his voice seemed to change as if the machine and him were forming one mind. "This is Paladin, I am here to protect." He called out, perhaps more Werk than man now.

Ariin could 'see' the angles how to point his canon the math working out as he moved. He stepped towards the mech, tilting it's head as if cracking its neck. Ariin came on over the radio. "Commander, protect the squad. I am undamaged and linked, my body is dying and my mind will follow after this stunt. If I do live, I'll be more Paladin then Ariin anyway do try to remember me." He laughed, Ariin remember the glow of the Gaius Four's blue star and the cool breeze near the helium sea. His mother's smile, his sisters running in the fields Ariin was there lost in the sea of computing power and brain that he was now part of.

Paladin lifted it's gun taking a triple shot for the big mech F-3. "I am Paladin, I am a guardian of humanity if you wish to kill anymore humans. Begin with me, you big ugly bastard!" He locked his heels back in the ground expanding the shield but not placing it in the ground. "Come on, I want a challenge!" The symbiote called out bashing it's heated gun against it's shield. Ariin laughed lost in memories, here fighting now was only Paladin only Ariin's will to protect others and fight remained, his memories, his other skills, forgotten. Ariin had become bonded to Paladin, a slave to his own ideals that he had so deeply ingrained.
