Lucius looked as Alister intervened in his fight with Roxy. A smirk appeared on his face. "Oh? You would have two opponents now, Alister? Come now, at least let Roxy fight her own battles." Lucius shot a quick glance at Zed, who he knew was Alister's opponent. "You don't mind if I fight Alister, do you? He was your opponent after all." Not that Lucius was particularly waiting for an answer. If Alister wished to champion for Roxy, that was his prerogative. Lucius's body began to glow ominously bright. As the seconds past, it grew more and more difficult to look directly at Lucius due to how bright his body was becoming, until eventually the entire room was covered in a blinding light.
Machina had to cover her eyes as Lucius was starting to brighten up the entire room, but she was also a bit concerned with Alister's opponent. She didn't know why he suddenly decided to stop fighting Zed to fight Lucius, though this was certainly a sudden change of events that pique her interest. More importantly, some of the side-line fighters began to draw their weapons. Machina didn't want to falter and tried to summon her armor onto her, which she succeeded in doing. She began to float just a few inches off the ground as her legs were covered in thick metal armor, and a set of wings made from blades appeared on her back. These weren't just normal blades however; each one was a different type of gun which she could use interchangeable. She didn't have her Blood Scythe however, not that she was going to rely too much on it. But Machina didn't attack anyone, rather, she was getting ready for the inevitable melee that would occur.
