"Yeah, I know, I'd be speechless too!!" Roboco shouts while smiling smugly, Fauna just looks down to her unamused, Roboco puts on a more serious face, "You fools brought us to existence, but you gave us the right to life and that is something absolutely no one in existence can take away!! And even if I were to fall, we will NOT surrender someone WILL rise in my place and stop you from wiping us out, because all life deserves a chance!!" She shouts pointing at Fauna, "So listen here 'God', I'm about to introduce you... to the jungle...!!!".

Roboco takes a stance and smiles as five more loud booms followed by one more set off in the air, her smile fades as she runs forward and leaps into the air with a punch to Fauna's stomach. The damage is intense as Fauna coughs up blood. "W-What!?" She shouts, Roboco smiles, "When I said I ignited the entire earths atmosphere I meant it!! The suns pure radiant energy is shining to the Earth, thanks for that by the way, and I've yet to lose my ability to absorb sunlight, and that speech was just to buy some more time!!" Roboco finished as she follows the punch up with a high kick to Fauna's face. One of the soaring comet like objects closes in on Roboco and attaches to her arm, a thick layer, she unleashes a small barrage, one punch to knock Fauna's face down, up, and down over and over again, then she uses both of her legs to kick Fauna away. Another comet like object closes in and wraps around Roboco's other arm as she smiles and soars over to Fauna who's regained her ground. She wipes her mouth and notices blood on her hand, "Tch... don't get too cocky..." she lifts her arms and extends them to either side of her body, a bright white light outshines the sun as she forms what seems to be a staff and she swings it, firing 3 orbs of light that fly to Roboco. Roboco takes her left arm and the piece that just attached itself to her unfolds into a shield and she curls her body to fit behind it as the blast deflects off the shield and the other two miss. Roboco closes the shield and meets Fauna face to face. Roboco throws a punch but misses and Fauna counters with a kick followed by a needle of light she tosses. It closes in on Roboco and pierces her shoulder. Another comet like object slams into Robocos back stopping her flight and folding around her torso. She grabs the needle out of her body and hurls it back to Fauna, Fauna tilts her body back and the needle explodes far behind her. She blinks down to Roboco, extends her hand, and chops down on Roboco's shoulder. Roboco falls to the ground as another comet like object slams into Faunas shoulder, it tears through and flies down to Roboco. The wound easily reforms as Fauna raises her arm while extending her pointer and middle finger, creating a small ball of energy slightly above snd between them both. "'Icarus downer'... how ironic." Fauna says to herself as the ball of energy rapidly expands. She drops her arm and points her fingers at Roboco as the ball of energy flies past her. Roboco stands with one leg wrapped as the final comet like object soars onto her other leg. The suit complete she stands 4 inches taller. The ball of energy closes in and she smiles. In front of the ball she seemingly jumps into it.

Fauna gasps as the rest of the audience recoils, "What the hell is she doing?!" The gods ask themselves.
"SH-SHE JUMPED INTO THE BLAST!! HAS SHE LOST HER MIND!? CAN SHE SEE OR IS SHE BLIND!?"

As the audience gawks Roboco emerges from the light and flies to Fauna delivering a punch with a fist bigger than Faunas torso. Fauna head is whipped back. "You gave humanity the wings to fly, and wings strong enough to surpass the power of Gods, with our inventions that we praise so much, With the children we give life to, we would never imagine destroying them ourselves, and humanity has made ME as their savior I AM THE EMBODIMENT OF THEIR PROGRESS!!" She shouts as she slams Fauna with another punch, "THEIR HEARTS" she delivers another punch to the stomach and clamps both of her hands on each other, raising them into the air.

"AND THEIR HOPE!!"

Roboco slams her fists down on Fauna and she crashes to the ground, shattering her halo as she lies in the crater. Roboco lands, shaking the Earth and Fauna stands up defying gravity and the halo reforms. "I'm done holding back..." she says begrudgingly as she blinks in front of Roboco. Roboco punches down to her but Fauna jumps as she catches Roboco's large fist and lands behind Roboco. Panels on Roboco's back open and a hydrologic pillar slams into Fauna's face to no effect. Fauna raises her free hand and she turns it into a large branch that extends to Robocos other arm and drags it behind Roboco as well, and she returns her arm back to normal.
"Being a hulking mass doesn't mean victory, and I'll prove it to you." She says as she pulls and pulls on Roboco's arms. The armor unfolds off of Roboco's arms and onto Fauna's, the weight drops them to the ground with Fauna's arms, Roboco hops out of the legs and throws off the torso as she spins around with a kick to Fauna's face, hard enough to send Fauna flying, ripping her arms from her shoulders. The armor flies back to Roboco as she closes in on Fauna, who's yet to heal, and delivers a kick. She cocks her arm back and a panel extends expelling gas. She drives her fist into Faunas stomach and it ignites.
She bursts out of the armor to engage in a clash of blows with a flaming Fauna. She hops back and launches an onslaught of bullets at Fauna. Fauna quickly backflips repeatedly to avoid the bullets and waves her arms, causing the halo to glow bright as needles fly at Roboco. Roboco punches some out of the way and jumps to avoid the explosion, and Fauna closes in on her with her arm covered in stone. Roboco quickly returns the arm of the suit back to her as she winds her body back and delivers the punch. The two fists connect and the two scream as they struggle.
The shockwaves sends both of them sliding back and Fauna fires a beam that clamps her feet into the ground and extends her shield to block. She looks at both of her destroyed shoulders and ponders, she eyes down Fauna and fires her laser to which Fauna ceases her blast to avoid. Roboco grunts as she tries to follow Fauna. "Roboco!! Your eye will overheat at this rate!!" Iris shouts, "then just send a new one when I'm done!!"Roboco shouts as she ups the power, "WE DON'T HAVE A REPLACEMENT!!" Iris reinstates, "oh" Roboco says as she stops the laser, her eye is completely blank and Fauna closes in on her blind spot with a needle. Roboco manages to narrowly avoid the stab and counters with a kick. The rest of the armor soars back to Roboco and she follows Fauna as she closes her left eye permanently. Suddenly Fauna disappears and reappears above Roboco and kicks her down to the ground. Before Roboco can even process it, a needle of light pierces her armor. It begins to glow brighter as she braces, and the explosion envelopes her. Roboco soars out of the smoke, without armor and with a hole in her stomach. She knees Fauna in the chest and soars to a nearby mountain and slams her into it. Then she slams her deeper into the mountain with her hand on her face. Fauna opens her right eye in between Roboco's fingers and it begins to glow. Roboco's eye widens as she quickly gets out of the way and a huge crevasse is opened in the Earth extending from Fauna's position. Fauna explodes the entire mountain and flies at Roboco. She knocks her to the ground and Roboco lies limp.
Fauna extends a wood sword from her hand and draws it back when suddenly Roboco drives her own blade through Faunas chest And the two stand in silence.

"You've gone silent, 'O' Holy One'" Roboco remarks, "Just thinking of the last eon and a half" Fauna replies, "Hmph, did you know you left humanity so unguided that they had wars on your behalf?" Roboco asks, Fauna's attention is caught, "Brother on brother, blood sprayed across the land, for religion. Now being how I am, I realize I don't understand it, I mean come on, ask the sheep, 'do you kill on god's command?'" Roboco continues, Fauna remains silent, "for me, I just follow my country, I don't ask what it can do for me, just what I can do for it, I guess those fools aren't too different from myself... look, we're a messy bunch, but for the good reasons, if you want humanity to be an exact way, maybe don't leave them to do whatever they want, hell, they created more gods than there really are... most people built by revenge, and scorn to the Gods are built by your ignorance to their prayers. And if anyone else who had a life as I did, we're put through what I was put through and given this power, chances are this fight would've been much different. You would've been looking at a crazed maniac bent on destruction and becoming the true god humanity needs, but I'm me, my own god, because I didn't get the prayer I made granted I just bared it, and now I must protect my people. That is why I fight." Roboco finishes, Fauna remains silent, "I'm going to power up now..." she says, "I'd be disappointed if you didn't!!" Roboco responds. Roboco yanks her hand out of Fauna and jumps back as Fauna's wood blade retracts. "Iris, how many more power sources are there on the Earth?" Roboco asks, "Absolutely zero" Iris replies, "Well shit... im running low here... wait!!" Roboco suddenly looks around, "Iris how much energy do I have in reserves?" She asks, "You are at 3% energy, 100% in reserves, estimated lasting time of 3 minutes" Iris explains, "Great... I've got an idea" Roboco responds as she smiles.
