The Maiden and The Metal (Non Canon)

[Metalhead Mike]

"Yeah, I'll distract him." Mike said sarcastically as Matsu ran off and started leaping up toward the rooftops. He climbs on top of a parked speeder on the side of the street and snaps the two guitar halves back together, looking up at the sky. "This should be pretty distracting..."

Mike starts playing and the clouds turn black as it begins to rain. Thunder rumbles through the air in tandem with the beat and bright red lightning strikes in the sky. As the music continues the lightning becomes more and more violent and powerfull until it centers over the rooftop that Matsu is standing on. The Glycon stops and looks at the sky as the thunder and rock began to boom over his own rampage, and the lightning danced around becoming larger and brighter as Mike poured the power of the metal into it.

After rocking out for a while Mike and his band all start playing together, forcing the crimson lightning bolt to strike down from the clouds and straight into Matsu. The maiden screams out as The power surges through her and the metal in her mechanical arm starts to spread across her entire body, covering her and growing larger until she is encased in a giant machine. The rooftop caves in under the weight and she falls through, smashing down every floor of the building until she hits the ground and explodes causing the structure to collapse on top of her.

As the smoke cleared, Matsu stood up from underneath the rubble as a 60 foot tall metal robot. The Legendary Iron Maiden. Mecha Matsu.

She thought she’d said distraction, not ‘ways to murder me on the way to trying to save our skins’ but maybe the two were not mutually exclusive. Skidding to a stop as the lightning storm picked up, huge streaks of blood-red electricity spearing the crimson sky, Matsu wondered if perhaps there wasn’t some kind of degenerative illness caused by the music that caused one to start to…like it over time. She had to admit there was a certain…badassery to it, something that made every moment a little bit more urgent.

And apparently also her death throes more urgent, a streak of lightning crawling up the durasteel and titanium and starting in her claws, the sharply-pointed talons lengthening as the metal started crawling up over her shoulder and body until eventually she didn’t even recognize herself anymore.

When the dust cleared, the building destroyed (oh, Ovmar would be PISSED) and the street lined with rubble, Matsu stood – a mixture of somehow sinuous durasteel and titanium, clawed and horned and armed to the teeth.

Yeah, she took it back – she liked this music.

Striding forward, about to grapple with the beast, a holocontrol port popped up on in the inside of her armor. Scrolling through the options as quick as she could her eyes caught on “missiles”. That sounded fancy, and she quickly selected it, watching as a pop-up section of suit raised on her shoulder and three mini proton-torpedos shot out of their canisters. One connected squarely with a carbine on the Glycon’s shoulder, the other shot right by its face…and the other got caught in a raised fist, the monster trying to eat it before tossing it right in the metal-haired man’s direction.

Not good.

Mike continued to rock, supplying power to the iron maiden and fueling the fight between the two behemoths. His eyes turn black as the metal takes over, and before long Mecha Matsu was at full power, showering the Glycon with a barrage of missiles. Mike jumps off of the hood of the speeder and thrashes around as he plays, kicking a vehicle over and smashing his head through a wall. His heavy metal induced rampage was brought to a sudden stop when a half eaten missile landed right next to him on the street with a loud clank. Mike looked at it and froze as his eyes faded back to normal.

"Oh... Cmon." He muttered just as the missile detonated and blew him into the nearest building, engulfed in flames.

As soon as the music stopped, Mecha Matsu began to slowly loose power and her movements started to lag. The Glycon charges in and tackles Metal Matsu, pushing her back and smashing her through the corner of a building before throwing her onto the ground. The beast roars dominantly at the iron maiden and fires its remaining carbine down at her.
