Mumbling to herself, the Courier couldn't tell if she was hallucinating at this point, or there really was a giant, hand-mounted turret pointing at her face. Had she known this rifle in her hands was an energy based weapon, she probably would have gone for the turret instead. As soon as the barrels of said turret began revving back and forward however, was when the wastelander woman decided she wasn't hallucinating in the slightest, interestingly enough. Under the already rusted mask hiding the Courier's face, her mouth quivered before cursing to herself.
"Damnit."
After that was said and done, the Courier immediately dived for the limited amount of space she had to dodge on these horribly tiny platforms as she heard the squelching of laser beams exploding behind her. She was almost grateful that the fact that even more energy weapons were being used, before she remembered how horrible it felt to be burned by one of those. At the very least, it motivated her to stay out of the way for once.
Finding no time to herself to even think about what she needed to do in a situation such as this, the Courier held her breath as she jumped to another platform, barely getting onto it as the slab wobbled around due to the sudden weight. She continuously avoided more and more laser beams, grateful that the turret couldn't move as fast as she could, nor could Kopaka keep his focus. In all honesty, Six found herself unable to either, dumbfounded as to how to counter this because of her pounding head.
Wanting to drop the Empire blaster rifle under her arm as she ran and jumped to another moving platform, the Courier formed a slight idea as to how to distract the fevered biomech. Hesitating for a short moment, Six heard yet another beam of energy explode next to her, but this time, she actually felt a burning sensation flare up on her leg. It only took a split second after that for the Courier's vision to fade in a blinding white light. Then, the pain started rolling into her skin.
Kopaka himself could barely see, despite his undivided attention to who he was shooting at, yet he knew he finally got a shot in upon hearing Six gasp for air. Seeing her fall to the ground made him stop a second, thinking this might have been the point in which he had won. Trying his best to focus his already blurred vision, he then saw the gunslinger downed on the floor rev her arms back, before lobbing the rifle in her hand in his general direction.
Pulling out her Lucky revolver soon after she made the effort to throw something at her opponent, she watched as the butt of the rifle hit Kopaka's shoulder, ripping his hand from the turret's trigger. Almost cracking a smile at the sight, she immediately started fanning her revolver's hammer, releasing a flurry of bullets, a few hitting her adversary's head, doing little to nothing but sending him backwards.
Almost dropping her pistol, the Courier kept a firm grip on it as she slowly stood, Kopaka groaning as he tried to regain his posture. Limping towards the edge of the platform, Six mumbled to herself as she counted the few jumps she would have to make before finally reaching the Toa. Kopaka, finally getting himself standing, knew the turret wouldn't be able to aim at the woman beneath him with how close she was. Instead of waiting for her, the biomech decided to jump down a few platforms himself, a bit aggravated at the Courier for shooting him so many times, which was strange for him.
The competitors immediately hopped onto the same platform, slowly moving along with the floating slab. The pain in the Courier's leg didn't let up, causing her to trip as a result. Kopaka however, didn't stop walking forward, despite himself wanting a rest. Though, the both of them felt that this was going to end very soon, considering how weak the two of them were.
Taking a knee, Six sprawled her injured leg out to the side as the Toa warrior continued to walk forward, brandishing his blade. The wastelander shakily pulled out her Caravan shotgun, before clicking a few buttons on her Pip-boy stationed on her left arm, giving Kopaka time to rush forward and attack Six, to which she raised her gun immediately, pulling at the trigger and praying.
