Mcfast hadn't realized that such a small person could become such large threat.

He realized this after his skull was almost crushed under Edna's giant foot.

Edna picked up Mcfast's body and threw it into the nearby wall, causing the wall to crumble where Mcfast had impacted. Mcfast fell onto the floor, limp. Edna walked over to his fallen self, and picked him up with ease.

"You have disappointed me once again. I had expected a challenge from such an impotent ra-" Edna was interrupted by a rapid burst of gunfire coming from Mcfast, who was miraculously fine from having his entire body being thrown into a metal wall. Edna reflexively covered her face, allowing Mcfast to escape her grip and release another barrage of lead at her. Edna easily blocked the incoming projectiles. Infuriated that her target was still alive, Edna switched her suit into overdrive.

Her arms turned into blades with edges of plasma, designed to cut through anything. Edna turned to Mcfast and charged at him, ready to slice him in half. She took rapid swings at him in an attempt to dice him. Mcfast, with his insane speed, easily rolled under her mech, avoiding the massive blades of energy attempting to reach him.

Edna had attempted to reach for to Mcfast, but she had forgotten that her arms were still in their blade form. She sliced her suit's right arm off, and created a massive hole in the ground where she had brazed it. The joint where the arm had connected was sparking and igniting in magnificent fashion, and when those sparks had reached the oil lubricating every part of the mech, her whole right side had become engulfed in flames.

Mcfast turned around and saw a massive flaming hunk of metal charging right at him. He tried to exit out the way he had came, but the door had locked itself. Mcfast could see no other way out other than...

The giant hole in the ground Edna made! that was it- he had found his ticket of getting out of this impossible battle, but it was blocked. Edna stood right in front of it, readying for another flurry of strikes at him. Mcfast couldn't see a way past her which didn't include distracting her. He ran through the possibilities in his head, but the only one that seemed to work included throwing his bottle of beer at the ignited part of her suit.

He regretted this choice- he could no longer enjoy a good scotch until he got back home. It was the only way to survive, however, so he decided to it. He ran at her.

The two forces tumbled toward each other. An incomprehensible force of machinery and man versus an unstoppable, drunken rage. The two were about to collide when everything slowed down, and came to a stop. Mcfast looked around to see that time was drastically slowed down, but it did not affect him. He decided to take advantage of this by walking up to the mech, and unscrewing every bolt holding the machine together. He then took his scotch and poured it all over edna, priming her for ignition. After all was set in place, he went for the hole, and was going to jump in after all was set in motion.

It never did.
