Part 3
Izuka fumbled around with his gun out of boredom. Maybe they didn't need him? That was more likely than them being unable to signal him. He sighed deeply and reached for his motorcycle helmet.
"If you don't need me, at least tell me so." He slotted his pistol into the slot on the left of his bike. This acted in place of a key, and prevented anyone but him from using the bike.
Suddenly, something crashed through the wall of the ruined warehouse and slammed into the middle of the road. That something wore silver headphones and a pair if futuristic gauntlets.
"Keisaku!?" Izuka reclaimed his gun and ran to his comrade. "What happened!?" Keisaku did not respond. He had been rendered unconscious by whatever had fired him out if the warehouse.
"Keisaku!" Mirai appeared next to Izuka and crouched at keisaku's side.
"What happened?"
"We need backup! The-!" At that moment, a large robotic suit crashed through the wall, erasing it. The suit went for a punch, but its arm fell from the elbow. Many knives fell along with it. "The suits........aren't life support machines!" Mirai's knives moved instantly, stabbing into the main body of the suit. Mirai's teleport could move one object into another, displacing the particles of the target location. The displaced particles, moved instantly with such great energy, became energy, causing feedback on her box.
(I can't teleport for a while now. Guess my box needs some more tuning.) as she thought to herself, the suit raised its other arm, and went to hit Mirai.
She was saved by Izuka, grabbing her as he grappled one of the building's windows. The crumbling building couldn't take the weight of both of them, and so the area where the hook was located detached. Izuka positioned himself so that he would cushion the fall for Mirai. The pair rolled for a while, and once they stopped Izuka stood back up. He was armed for man to man combat, not for a fight against heavy vehicles.
(I could try to shoot the hatch, but that may kill the person inside. Besides, it may still be a life support machine, so that would do nothing. I have one explosive, but where to use it?) he thought about all his knowledge of the human central nervous system.
"I aim for the neck. I'll cripple it!" Although the suit had no neck since the capsule for the pilot was in the chest, it would still have an area where all impulses from the brain are carried before the limbs move. This reading of the brainwaves and transition to electrical signals would take place at the suit's 'neck' area.
Izuka circled the suit, but as he did, the upper torso rotated to track him. It must've been a counter measure against attacks from behind.
"Dammit! Why does Keisaku have to be unconscious!? Even Mirai would be a huge help here!"
Out of irritation, Izuka fired his hook the the large metal fist. He then ran towards the suit. It swung for him, but he entered a slide before it made contact. He slid between its legs, then jumped left to avoid the next hit. He ran back to the other side of the suit, the upper torso locked onto him.
"Let's see if this works." Izuka retracted his cable. The suit's upper half spun around, and then it got into a kneeling position. "As I though, your arm can't fit between your legs. You're in the perfect position." The suit could not move, but the tension on the cable could cause it to snap at any moment. Without hesitation, Izuka increased the magnetisation of his suit to full. He instantly reached the exo-body and jumped high into the air. He released his suppressor and detonated it when it landed on his opponent's back. While falling, he shot the now exposed wiring multiple times. Once he landed, the suit collapsed into a heap.
