Caught right after his own attack, Giegue was a bit too slow to counter, the whirling blade slamming right into him just as he was about to move. Sparks flew, and despite hitting the transparent viewport of the pod, the sword slid off as the machine and it's alien occupant were knocked away. Clearly Giegue's life support pod was made of some incredibly tough materials. The pod landed on the ground and immediately righted itself, Giegue pressing one hand against the viewport as he gathered energy. In a moment, a series of explosions erupted in front of the pod, heading for MetaKnight.
