Keizer was sent flying off-balance through the air by the punches, cartwheeling out of the sky and into the ground. He landed in a heap, but quickly rolled and got onto his knees, pointing his arms forward again. He was about to start shooting when he saw the beam coming at him, and instead of immediately attacking, he ducked under it, essentially laying down with his knees bent backward.<br/><br/>He did manage to actually counter the smaller spheres, blasting a couple out of the air with his plasma bullets, but a couple hit him as he stood up and made him stagger. Burns coated the places of impact on Keizer's chassis, screwing with the cockpit's HUD for a few seconds. "Gah, damn it, you got me!" Rance said, tightening his grip on the controls.<br/><br/>Just as he managed to get ready to fight again, the fist of Alexander's mech impacted Keizer's face, denting the machine's helmet. He staggered again, but instead of falling, recovered with another kick. It was aimed at the machine's head, and thus could be dodged with a quick duck. Since Keizer's boosters were on the backs of its legs, they weren't used to increase the kick's impact.
