The gorilla Mechanoid recoiled.

For a mechanoid type known for its hardiness, considering the amount of metal plating and composite armour it was equipped with, Tellie was honestly surprised for a moment as she was able to get the gorilla Mechanoid to flinch from her attack. Yet, that flinch was all she needed for a confidence booster and allowed her to hope that her attacks dealt with more than a distraction.

The first shot was at the elbow joint breaking gorilla Mechanoid 'A' from ever moving his right hand again and the instant it recoiled, the second shot went for its mouth, in hopes that it would explode from within and caused various circuitry to break such as the vision sensors as well as its auditory ones. However, its head was sturdier than imagined, despite Tellie's charged sniper shots able to cause damage to the elbow joints.

However, that was more than enough to cause the gorilla Mechanoid 'B' to move towards Tellie's direction in order to crash the original menace they had been trying to find. It seems like the spider and scorpion Mechanoids were more 'sensitive' and allowed them to locate their opponents more accurately than the gorilla Mechanoids which in retrospect made sense.

Edmond Diamondz probably had set up his Mechanoids in a way where the various 'small' Mechanoids were used for search and destroy while the gorilla Mechanoids were its muscles to push forth. However, the System knew that the gorilla Mechanoids were not the last of Edmond Diamondz's muscles. There was something more menacing that was still hiding at Floor 35 and it was a matter of time before they would awaken to provide support. Otherwise, all the System could hope was that they come in batches, and arrive when the gorilla Mechanoids were not able to handle the job.

Yet, the System was thinking too far ahead as one of its operators was poised to be destroyed no matter how the System tried to create an optimal route for Tellie. As her shots caused her to be immobile, there was nothing less than a timed detonation that could hinder the gorilla from doing its job of pulverising its enemy.

Tellie continued to shoot as calmly as she could as she knew that perhaps, it would make a difference for Jin and Click when it actually matters. At the same time, she quietly whispered her apology to Jin for not being able to comply with his order. "Sorry, Commander. Looks like my time is up. Guess it's time for me to hand in my withdrawal letter to the squad for disobeying priority orders."

"I reject."

That two words were echoing within her ears despite the consistent roaring from the gorillas, and before her eyes could unfocus from her scope to look, it seemed as if a bouldering figure came in between her and the jumping gorilla Mechanoid like some superhero coming forth to protect the weak.

A mechanised robot came out of nowhere with a rotating blade that stopped the advance of the gorilla Mechanoid while doing a pseudo judo move to throw the gorilla to the ground. Its rotating subsequently stopped moving as it retracted to turn into a singular thick blade that enabled the robot to take advantage of Tellie's previous shot to the mouth in order to deal with the killing blow.

"What in the world?" Tellie said as she could not help to be stunned and frozen by the sudden turn of the tide in the battle.

"I told you, I reject you from ever submitting such withdrawal." Click finally came up using a high powered jump and grabbed Tellie to move further away from the fight as gorilla Mechanoid 'B' joined the brawl to save his comrade.

"Heh... I honestly thought it was the System or something. Then it might awaken some hidden latent ability within me." Tellie joked to Click as she gave a quiet thank you for pulling her out of the rug.

"After what you did for me? I said this was merely returning the favour." Click smiled, happy to see that her bet had paid off well. The Mechanised robot was created from the remnants of the crashed helicopter. With the core still functioning well, Click used her upgrade card 'the Transformer' which enabled her to touch a particular core and turn whatever resources around that core to become a mechanised robot.

Whatever remained of the helicopter became its body and the surrounding which included the chairs, tables, assault rifle drones as well as dead insect mechanoids around it to also be absorbed as part of its arsenal, creating a humanoid body from such parts.

This enabled Click to have a 'summon' under her command capable of fighting against the gorilla Mechanoid toe to toe. She did not expect much from it considering it was a makeshift summon that she had created but for it to decapitate a gorilla Mechanoid by itself was already a win in her books. Of course, Tellie prepared the showdown for Click's summon which she aptly named the Heli Cop but nevertheless, it did its job splendidly.

Unfortunately, the win was shortlived as gorilla Mechanoid 'B' entered into their field of view and bashed Heli Cop's head. It later grabbed Click's summon by the torso, attempting to carry it and break it down into two with its knee.

However, Click was still controlling her summon with the use of a wireless game controller which allowed Heli Cop to place its blade in between its torso and the gorilla Mechanoid's knee, causing a dent in the gorilla's femur armour plate. And that was not the end of it as Click quickly and repeatedly pressed a few buttons allowing the blade to fan out into the helicopter rotor.

Yet the gorilla Mechanoid was still 'smart' enough to prevent it from rotating as it knew the threat the rolling blades could potentially pose and that was where Click snuck in the counterattack. Heli Cop's elbow had installed several assault rifle drones that enabled it to sneak an elbow jab right beneath the gorilla's impenetrable chest plates, sending out as many bullets as it could.

This no doubt forced the gorilla to take a step back, releasing Heli Cop from its brink of destruction and allowing it to recover with a proper combat stance. Right when there was sufficient space between the two Mechanised beings, Click started up the rotating blades and it acted as both a shield and sword for Heli Cop.

Payback was possible... as long as the next Mechanoid did not jump into the scene too soon.
