It was a truly, truly,
glorious sight for Ant to behold. His eyes welled with tears in pure joy: the flames, the dust, the carnage he created... it was a pure work of art.
He only assumed that his mines were compromised from their lack of earlier activation, but it was all the more perfect that they triggered right on his moment of attack; it was one hell of a fireworks display, and for those still out of the fight, it would certainly indicate the center of action. Smart enough to keep moving, Ant chuckled to himself, feeling completely unstoppable. Upon Ant's request, his cockpit contained a speaker system that would rival only the greatest of concerts; he took it upon himself to put his comm system on Speaker Mode, so as
everyone could enjoy his taste in music.
Ant spoke loudly on the intercomm as well, so as to make certain everyone could hear:
"Hello, hello, hello! Welcome, everyone, to Antwon's little corner of Hell! As you have probably witnessed, I have made this modest arena my home! And it has made some lovely work with the majority of you. As for those of you hiding about; surrender now, and I'll be certain to consider your request upo--"!!!Aester's stake pierced straight through the ground, heading straight in Ant's direction; from beneath him, no less. Perry clumsily side-stepped, only missing the stake by a margin; Ant could even
see the stake in crisp detail as it passed beyond Perry's peripheral, noting that it would have pierced right through him (
him, mind you, not just Perry) if he didn't flinch out of the way. It was most definitely a wake up call for the presumptuous boy, but it wasn't enough to prevent Perry's halted speed and off-kilter footing... or the unassumed shockwave to follow.
Perry fell to the ground with a harsh
THUD, followed shortly by the ground he was standing on collapsing in on itself. Ant was able to foresee the collapse, managing to have Perry perform an impromptu backward roll to attempt a speedy recovery upon crashing down into the supply route. However, it was only so effective; Perry rolled, but the external damage was still quite significant. Perry's left side took most of the brunt of damage, with the side's arm practically hanging off of it, and the pistol along with it was lost in the rubble. His torso was crushed into itself as well, leaving a moderate target on his left side for finishing the job.
Ant shook his head, which was now pounding from the tumble. He looked forward... much to his dismay, seeing three mechs in close proximity; and seemingly on friendly terms.
Ahhhhhh, shit, Ant mumbled under his breath. He was slightly relieved to see the two of them in a clear state of disarray... but then he saw Korie and her framewerk, Aester, not far off ahead. Looking straight in his direction.
Only moments ago, Ant was in the clouds, and now, this... this,
thing, took every step it could to ruin the little moments of happiness he had. The familiar scowl returned to Ant's face, only all the more intent. Ant turned up his speakers; all the while, having Perry face straight towards his nemesis.
"You think you can hit me!?!?!?" Ant screamed through his intercomm. He was feeling it now; his blood was pumping, his heart racing. He was in the zone.
"You think I'll let anyone hurt me!?!?!?"And then, he charged forward. Still quite a formidable haste, straight towards the lot of them. But they were not his target...
