AaaaAAAAAAH!

[It's hard to close the distance with such short, little legs, but Satoru is nothing if not filled with determination, and he was more fit at this age, more active. While Jade has the robot's attention, he dashes straight up to the back of the robot, climbs it's body with two legs and one arm like it's a jungle gym, and jams the taser into the back of its neck just as it starts to turn, recognizing the danger.

The whole machine convulses in a crash of blue sparks, and Satoru's flung off, landing on concrete with a pained yelp. But then, there's another surprisingly quiet pop as several important wires short out, and the robot shudders to a stop, arm still lifted to strike. But it's dead. All its lights are out. Phew.]

Ow ow ow...

[Satoru rolls over and puts his hand on his butt, hissing curse words for a second before raising his voice.]

Are you all right, oneesan?

[ratkicker]

[Jade raises her arm in self-defense just as Satoru jumps onto the robot. She can't find it in herself to do anything other than to watch as the robot convulses into a standstill, but the moment it goes silent, the most important thing comes to mind.]

Kid! Are you okay? [She rolls onto her belly and pushes herself up, first with one arm, then the other, stumbling across the broken ground to get to Satoru.] Don't worry about me, I'll went through worse.

[She holds him by the arm and gently leads him up into a standing position.] That was really brave of you. [A small smile, reserved for the kids she used to look after.] You save my life.
