Miya taps her foot on the ground. Though not fully healed, she slams it onto the floor then darts forward. Her eyes follow four transparent glints sliding on both her sides. The battle-suited brute releases a barrage of bullets that bounce off a disc sitting in the air above him and then ricochet off, hitting the discs at Miya's flanks.
She leans down with her back and feet sliding across the floor, then raises her rifle with the top flicking up a white holo-sight as she aims her eyes through the three parted lines. Her rifle then releases a bolt that hits a transparent disc to her right, then angles it at the second disc next to it, causing the disc to tilt downwards.
The bullets whisk from her left onto the right-side discs and bounce off each other along with the bolt. Miya then looks up at the battle-suited brute as he turns his head to the right.
Before he can react, Miya shoots another bolt at a pair of discs bordering above him, making him step back as he moves both of his rifles to his sides. Miya follows his mask's green and red eyes as he attempts to move four transparent discs to her upper right side. She then fires another bolt at their sides, causing them to spin around and crash into each other. The remaining bullets in the air zip and stream into the ceiling along with nearby stores and walls.
The battle-suited brute's eyes then narrow into one blue bulb as his back extrudes into a hexagon opening. Multiple discs then shoot out from his backside and soar in different directions.
Miya watches as the battle-suited brute eyes then swirl in different directions. His eyes blink green, then blue, as he raises his rifles.
—PLINK PLINK PLINK
He releases several red bullets from his rifle, them whizzing through the air and hitting a transparent disc above him. Miya's eyes narrow as she watches his head tilt to the side, following his green eye go right and then become blue.
—Ting Ting
As soon as the bullets ricochet off the second disc, Miya's eyes trail to the side, noticing the third whisking to her backside. She slides back with a nimble twist, releasing a black stream from her railgun onto the disc. She leans back, watching as her black ray glides above her to the second disc while disintegrating the brute's red pellets.
Her shot then bounces onto several more discs, hitting the battle-suited brute on the back, making him stumble forward as his shield performs another white ripple.
Miya's eyes widen.
Battle-gear armor has several variants, some focusing on offensive rather than defensive capabilities. This one in question was made to be superior in offensive counter-play using ricochet-trajectory, the increasing velocity of speeding bullets. The more defensive battle suits focus on maneuverability to build up their shields. However, this one must stay in its initial spot to keep track of all its moving shells and discs.
Miya turns around and looks at the two discs still hitting her black plasma bullet back and forth. The battle-suited brute performs a growl, then throws his rifles into the air, shooting frantically. Several of his discs whiz to different bullets and bounce them off one another, trying to keep up.
Masus-type armor has shields that dissipate energy to a single point in their defenses. Suppose the barrier is delayed with multiple blasts and fired with a powerful enough shot. In that case, it may give an opening to the inside of the armor.

With her eyes scrunched down, Miya fires her rifle at the incoming bullets spitting at her from every angle. Some shots cut at her sides and face, creating scratches and lacerations as she locks eyes with the battle-suited brute. Despite the burning pain consuming her body, she watches the discs float around her with keen eyes as if waiting for a specific moment.
The battle-suited brute's eyes burn blue. Seeing some opportunity, Miya dashes toward the wall, ducking her head to the side as bullets shriek past her ears. She then walks along the wall's surface at an upwards slant, shooting several black beams onto discs still lingering in the air.
The discs bounce the beams back and forth until they all ricochet and hit the battle-suited brute from different angles. The brute roars and shoots his rifles around his body, bullets spewing like bright red fireworks. However, as if overburdened with commands, the discs continue to bounce Miya's beams then jump to the side, nearly missing his inputs, then shooting them back at him from the sides of their plates.
His forcefield continues to be barraged with Miya's, along with his own bullets, then a sudden surge of blue energy twirls around his body. Several hexagons dissolve on his left side as he falls to his knees. Miya jumps from the wall and spirals in the air with an upside-down view, angling her gun near the two discs continuing to shoot her first beam back and forth.
Miya's fingers click the trigger, releasing a narrow black beam from her rifle. Its trail swivels through the sky like a black missile wanting desperately to reach its target. Her beam then connects with the two discs, combining with the raging force built up by the initial blast, then hits the second disc to the side, allowing it to break free.
The beam spirals into the battle-suited brute's opening in his shield, bouncing off his armor and inside his guard until it reaches his helmet. The blast whips his head to the side, shattering his helmet's left side and allowing his six-eyed face to be seen. He drops Adalae to the ground as he stumbles back, holding onto the side of his face with a groan and wheeze.
Miya falls to the ground and runs toward him as the discs clatter and break onto the floor, their glitter particles bouncing like gem-crystal rain. The battle-suited brute aims his gun at her front and clicks the trigger, releasing several red-sharp bullets; Miya counters with her own rifle's blast, her blackened beam disintegrating all the shots in her path and then puncturing the inside of the brute's rifle making it explode in his grasp.
Before he could lift his second rifle, Miya lunged into the air while reeling her legs back, then exploded her feet into his chest, making him tumble across the floor. He looks up at Miya with a flutter of his eyes, then collapses onto the ground.
Miya falls to her hands and knees, sweat dripping from her forehead and chin as she heaves with exaggerated breaths.
Maxim runs to Adalae and picks her up by the head and shoulders. Their eyes meet, hands embrace, each having warmth and growing smiles. Adalae then leans up and locks lips with him, causing Maxim's eyes to widen but soften to a close as he continues their loving kiss.
Miya lifts her head with a gasp. Her eyes widen as she looks back at Maxim and Adalae, still deep in their kiss. She throws her gun toward them; Maxim watches as her rifle explodes into smaller pieces as a red bullet punctures through but deflects to the side.
Adalae's eyes turn to the side, her face reflecting the dense red light of the following bullet only a few inches away from her face. Her face is blurred by a shadow as a thump punctures her ears. She looks up at Miya standing in front of her with widened eyes.
Miya looks down at her stomach, drooling out blood as she falls to her knees. Her eyes return to their dark-brownish hue as she coughs, covering Adalae's stomach in a spritz of blood.
Multiple security personnel in black battle suits parade the area from all sides. They then shoot electro-tranquilizers onto the battle-suited brute, causing him to twitch then unhand his gun as he collapses on the ground.
Miya's body leans forward, but Adalae and Maxim catch her with watery eyes.
"What do you look so sad for, huh?" Miya looks up at Adalae with only a single eye open. "I thought you hated me... You should be happy that I'm-"
She then falls unconscious, her head drooping down to the floor as her lips continue to drip blood on her legs.
Several medical officers surround them, a few rolling a metal Medpod on wheels to the side and lifting Miya inside the glass capsule. They then sprint down the hall, leaving Adalae and Maxim to be questioned by the remaining officers as they check them for bruises.
A tear runs down Adalae's face with a sniff. She then bites her lip with a nod of her head.
