Armina saw the jump, as soon as his mech cleared the treeline she covered his humanoid machine with her targeting crosshairs and trusting that her Artemis fire control system would help keep the missiles on target quickly launced another volley of LRMs. At the same time she fought to turn her mech, trying her best to keep Tetsuo to her right side, not wanting to let him keep working her damaged left.<br/><br/>Before she could determine the damage her attack wrought, he was on her, firing everything he had, but Armina was no slouch and returned the fire even as her<em>Griffin</em>was hammered by the blows. The PPC blast from Tetsuo's mech hit her dead center thankfully. If it had hit her left torso it would almost certainly have blown through the heavily damaged armor there. His SRMs added to the carnage forming on her front, two hit her left torso, one ripping through the armor to expose the weak insides of her machine. Thankfully, his lasers struck the left arm and leg, cutting deep gouges in the armor and melting off tons of the protective plating.<br/><br/>Armina nearly lost balance due to the sheer volume of armor that fell off her mech's left but she caught herself, and despite her mech already running hot, fired off everything she had. The blast of heat nearly overwhelmed her, but she slammed her balled up fist on the shutdown override stopping the mech from deactivating itself as it struggled to dissipate the heat. She took a quick glance at her damage indicators, and the news wasn't good. Her left torso was almost completely stripped of armor, and her c3i system was dead, not that it mattered since it was useless in this fight, but still, she had to protect her left.
