Mechanical Rhythm

As Hassan's kick sent GENESIS flying, Joseph grimaced in pain, feeling the impact reverberate through his mech. Meanwhile, Hassan and Aycali redirected their assault towards Scarlett. Aycali's mech moved swiftly, positioning itself in front of Scarlett Marsh before delivering a powerful kick.

Scarlett, though able to block the attack, still felt the force of the impact as she and her mech were sent flying. "Scarlett!" Joseph shouted in concern.

Seizing the opportunity, Aycali pointed his mech's blade towards Scarlett. "Any last words?" he taunted. In that moment, Rina fired a shot from afar, but Hassan swiftly countered, slicing through the bullet with his axe and blade.

Scarlett's voice carried a sense of urgency as she spoke to Rina, "Rina, can you keep fighting?"

Rina's response was filled with resignation, "I'm afraid not. My Thunderbolt Wasp is overheating."

Aycali's interruption was met with a defiant silence from Scarlett. With his mech poised to strike, he taunted, "No last words, huh? Then it's time to bid farewell."

Scarlett's heart raced as she braced herself for the impending attack, knowing that her time to act was dwindling. The tension in the air was palpable as the battlefield crackled with anticipation.

The moment Aycali aimed to strike Scarlett, Joseph activated GENESIS's potential, illuminating the screen with the word "GENESIS". With a burst of speed, GENESIS darted forward, striking Aycali's mech with incredible force, tearing off its arm in a flurry of sparks and debris.

"Dare not lay a hand on her," Joseph's voice boomed with determination.

Hassan watched in astonishment as GENESIS unleashed its true power. His excitement was evident as he exclaimed, "Ah, this is what I've been waiting for!"

With a smirk, Hassan continued, "You've finally revealed your true colors, GENESIS! Now it's my turn to show you mine." Suddenly, his Black Hound mech began emanating purple particles as he appeared in front of GENESIS in a flash of movement. Joseph, unfazed, prepared to counterattack, but before he could strike, Hassan vanished into thin air, leaving Joseph to ponder his next move in the midst of the chaotic battle.

With urgency in her voice, Scarlett called out to Joseph, "Above you!"

Joseph swiftly turned GENESIS's head upward to see Hassan descending with his mech's axe and blade aimed directly at them. Reacting quickly, Joseph maneuvered GENESIS, pushing off with the maneuver gear and grabbing Scarlett Marsh. Together, they narrowly dodged Hassan's attack, narrowly avoiding disaster in the midst of the chaotic battle.

Hassan's smirk echoed through the chaos as he taunted, "Hahahaha, you managed, huh, GENESIS?... Oi, Aycali, how much longer do you plan to lay there? Come over here!"

Aycali's mech arm seamlessly reattached itself, leaving Joseph in shock. "What?! It reattached again?!" he exclaimed.

Hassan chuckled triumphantly, "Hahahah, that's Aycali's mech ability for you. Even if you slice it, destroy its parts, it can reattach itself like new."

Amidst the chaos of the battle, Eliza's voice crackled through the commotion, carrying a mix of relief and concern. "Mr. President, it seems you manage to arrive at your destination safely. I apologize for the inconvenience; it appears our mercenaries are being targeted by the Black Hounds."

Mr. President's voice, calm yet grateful, responded over the transmission, "Eliza, it's alright. As long as you've ensured my safe arrival, that's what matters most. It's clear you've done your best to protect us under challenging circumstances."

As Mr. President assured Eliza of sending backup, a sense of relief washed over her. "Thank you, Mr. President. We'll do our utmost until they arrive," she responded with determination, her voice echoing through the tense atmosphere.

Turning her attention to the team, Eliza conveyed the news. "Mr. President has safely arrived at his destination without being noticed. We need to hold out a little longer until the backup team is dispatched to us." Her words carried a mix of relief and urgency, underscoring the importance of their continued vigilance amidst the ongoing battle.

As Hassan charged forward with GENESIS, Joseph's adrenaline surged, his instincts kicking in as he narrowly evaded the incoming assault. "He's getting more dangerous by the minute," Joseph muttered, his voice tinged with concern and determination.

Meanwhile, Scarlett engaged in a fierce battle with Aycali, her attacks relentless as she aimed to dismantle his mech. Each strike was met with Aycali's taunting laughter, his playful demeanor aggravating Scarlett further. "How long are you going to keep this up?" he sneered, his words fueling Scarlett's frustration as she continued her onslaught.

With every slice of her blade, Scarlett watched intently, her eyes observing for the slightest opening, hoping to seize the opportunity amidst the chaos of battle. Each movement was calculated, every strike aimed at weakening her opponent, as she searched for the crucial moment to gain the upper hand and turn the tide of the fight. Her determination burned bright, driving her forward despite the odds stacked against her.

Scarlett's eyes widened as she spotted the vulnerable core of Aycali's mech amidst the chaos of battle. With determination fueling her every move, she lunged forward, aiming to strike down the core and turn the tide of the fight. However, Aycali, with quick reflexes and frustration evident in his voice, swiftly maneuvered his mech to block Scarlett's attack and evade her strikes. "I see, that's your weakness, huh?" Scarlett remarked, her tone laced with determination and a hint of satisfaction at uncovering her opponent's vulnerability.

Aycali, frustrated by the revelation, could only utter a curse under his breath "Fuck!" as he worked to defend himself against Scarlett's relentless assault.

Joseph's voice cut through the chaos of battle, echoing as he observed Scarlett's against Aycali. "It seems your friend needs help," he remarked to Hassan.

However, Hassan remained unfazed by the plight of his comrade, his focus unwavering as he fixated on his sole objective. "I don't care," he retorted coldly, his voice laced with a sense of ruthless determination. "The only thing I want is you, GENESIS! Now, prepare to meet your demise!" With his mech poised for another attack.

As Hassan's mech surged forward with unmatched speed, Joseph braced himself for the impending onslaught. With a determined resolve, he commanded GENESIS to intercept the attack, using its hands to halt Hassan's advance. Despite the odds stacked against him, Joseph remained resolute in his defense.

Hassan, taken aback by Joseph's unexpected maneuver, couldn't help but taunt his opponent. "Huh, trying to stop me with those hands? Do you really want to die?" His mocking tone dripped with disdain, but Joseph remained steadfast in his determination to protect GENESIS at all costs.

Undeterred by Hassan's jeers, Joseph continued to hold back the onslaught. However, Hassan's assault showed no signs of relenting. "Hahahah, well then! Don't you regret it!" he sneered, his trusting power increasing with each passing moment.

Just when it seemed that Hassan's attack would overpower GENESIS, a sudden change in the tide occurred. Rina's mech, the Thunderbolt Wasp, finally cooled down, allowing her to join the fray. With newfound determination, Rina unleashed a shot that found their mark on Hassan's mech, striking his arm with precision. The impact elicited a frustrated curse from Hassan "Fuck!" as he grappled with the unexpected setback.

As Eliza's urgent voice pierced through the chaos of battle, tension gripped the fighters. "Detected incoming signal, it's fast enough!" Her words reverberated through the comm systems, sending a shiver down their spines.

Among the chaos, Hassan's voice cut through the air with a mix of anticipation and recognition. "There he is, tskk, he's finally arrived."

Joseph's confusion was evident as he questioned Hassan's cryptic remark. "What do you mean?"

Suddenly, a mysterious mech soared into view, gracefully landing with an air of authority. The obsidian-colored mech sent a chill down their spines, its presence unmistakably imposing. As Hassan's voice echoed with a mix of reverence and wariness, he declared, "The leader of Black Hound, Romulus."
