Description: K' and Maxima start a bunch of shit with a bunch of gangers on the outskirts of Sunshine City. 'nuff said.
Outer Sunshine: Domain to thugs, criminals, and other ne'er do wells, like Zaki's militant girlsquad. Only... the girlsquad has pulled out of Outer Sunshine, by first appearances; brawls and skirmishes are down dramatically, and the patrols surrounding Abobo's no-man's land wander almost uncontested, save lone vigilantes and acts of heroism.. along with a quieter, more defensive perimeter. That perimeter is unlikely to stop the odd duo of K' and Maxima, the 6' firebrand all but dwarfed by the massive figure accompanying him; it's been some time since the cyborg's been seen in public, but the Initiative would have files.. on the both of them, most likely. They can take care of themselves.
It's past dark by the time the pair of augmented superweapons slip past every haven offered in the foreboding, overrun cityscape, and make for, reputedly, one of the nastier sections of town. A long stretch of derelict overpass leads off the highways bypassing the urban hellscape and down into the long-forgotten trainyard. Burn barrels light the night here and there, visible from above - K' wordlessly eyeing the signs of habitation, focused on what they have to do.
~~
"Yea, it's damn weird." The gangs, walling themselves up in there. Like they're waiting for something; or like they're hiding something. One thing the cyborg and his bioaug compatriot can easily agree on: something is fucked up in Sunshine City. "I say we walk up to a big group of them, tell them we know something about a plot to bring the whole shitpile down around them, and that we want a real piece of the pie, tear the fuck out of them, and see what happens." It was nigh lunacy, really, it's hard not to argue that. "You got a better plan?" Came up. Over and over again.
~~
In the end, no, Robocop didn't; and so here they are. Marching off the highway, K' just flash-incinerates a section of rusty barbed wire barrier and drops down into the overrun yard, shadows cast wildly by the closest barrel, surrounded by no less than four less-than-savory fellows. Not far off? A second bonfire, with a few more. All of them seem to be drinking, smoking, or shoving something up their noses, in a mixed pile of cots and weaponry and booze and paraphernalia.
K' seems inclined to just keep walking up. Again, unless Maxima has a better plan. The four closest thugs suddenly take notice, the first - a burly, built middle-aged woman - trying desperately to spread the news to her compatriots.

Did he have a better plan? The trainyard scene is washed out with red as a targiting reticle darts from thug to thug on Maxima's augmented visual HUD. Paragraphs of text scroll in Maxima's peripheral vision as his cranial Combat CPU displays risk probabilities, threat analysis, environmental factors, and other relevant information just inside his field of vision. The information is processed and analyzed instantly as the large cyborg evaluates and formulates several workable options and plans. A slow smile crosses the leather-clad Canadian's face. "Nope. Nothing better than this," he replies in his deep bass voice. More effective plans perhaps, more efficient plans, certainly, but more fun? Not likely.
Maxima's pace quickens slightly as the augmented pair is spotted. One of the thugs, a skinny one with greasy hair, struggles to his feet from his spot beside a fire barrel; a cry of objection on his lips even as Maxima smoothly lifts a big bad boot and attempts to shove it through the lowlife as he tries to slam him back down to the ground with disdain.
COMBATSYS: Maxima brings his battle systems online.

K' doesn't bother to accelerate after Maxima, he just saunters right along, a jaunty smirk on his dark features, shades covering his eyes despite the night's darkness. He may not have Maxima's supercomputer-enhanced brain or optical analysis capabilities, but the amber-eyed firebrand can see juuust fine, the predator's enhanced abilities fueling senses bordering on the preternatural, a flawed but evolving biological agent of impossible, fiery destruction... entering battle behind the world's premiere man-sized main battle tank.
A dirty needle drops to the side, syringe shattering, as Torque tumbles sidelong, seeking to clear himself of the cyborg's mechanical stomp. It doesn't go well for him. Bones shatter with a sickening crunch, spine waffles one way and the other as he literally skids away, flailing newly shattered limbs around a nearly broken core. He comes to a landing some ways off, coughing blood; trying to figure out which of the eight Maximas in his vision is the real one, as his three friends immediately converge. Calls go out at the nearby bonfire, another trio charging towards the fray, two of them - identical twins in cowboy hats - drawing out revolves as they advance.
The more immediate concerns all turn on Maxima as K' helpfully lets the Cyborg tank these losers. The musclebound amazon in worn denim and an old black wifebeater all but leaps at the (marginally?) larger Canadian, seeking to abruptly grip the large hulk of a man about his midsection, and suplex him into the trainyard's weed-pocked dirt. Brutale comes to her aid as untagged partner, large and clad in military fatigues and combat boots, as he seeks to leap atop Maxima and drive him to the ground, or hold him there longer, and beat him savagely about the head and neck. Meanwhile, Stallion draws a long section of chain off his shoulders and steps back, eyeing the charging backup with a degree of poorly hidden concern. This one, at least, isn't stupid. Though he /does/ look like a bouncer at a bondage club.
For his part, K' joins the fray in a flash, with a pronounced, "Hey, /BITCH/." and a rushing, ripping right cross, leading smoothly into a lunging uppercut that looks designed to take Lady Vic's jaw right off as the amazon tries to assist in the ground and pound on his partner. "Bigger fish than you that want a piece of Sunshine, you don't even /KNOW/ the hell that's raining down!" The Beast of Flame is pretty good at 'boistrous street tough'. He's had a bit of fucking practice.
It helps that he's the artillery falling in behind his equally advancedly engineered battle brother, for selling that premise. It's been long pre-established that K' has no trouble slugging a girl; particularly a giant one that's trying to force herself on Maxima.

There's a quick flash of grim satisfaction in the cyborg's extremely realistic looking cybereyes as his foot effectively crushes the heroine addict's body just as much as that junk crushed his hopes and dreams. Winners don't do Drugs kids. A warning flashes across the large man's HUD as the large woman shoots into to hook her arms around his waist.
Probabilities and projections cycle through Maxima's vision as they are instantly updated as new data on his opponents is constantly introduced. The Canadian's eyebrows arch in subdued surprise as Lady Vic suddenly exerts an astonishing amount of force by actually managing to LIFT the cyborg's bulk of nearly 500lbs and drive him backwards into the hard garbage-strewn ground. There is a large spike in the graph representing Lady Vic's combat capabilities as his Combat CPU upgrades her from NON-THREAT to POTENTIAL THREAT.
Shaking off the jarring impact with a few quick blinks, the cyborg is suddenly alerted to the charging form of Brutale as he attempts to leap onto Maxima's heavy metal chest. Disengaging from Lady Vic, Maxima bends at the waist, lifting his upper half of of the pavement into a sitting position as he raises his arms to catch the leaping army man... who crashes right through his grasp and knocks Maxima back to the ground where the other large man proceeds to reign down blows upon Maxima's head and neck; though only about half of the strikes find their way around the hard, unforgiving steel. NON-THREAT --> POTENTIAL THREAT.

It's a dangerous game, bluffing the enemy, testing their strength. It's dangerous for a lot of reasons. Not the least of which is the actual physical strength of the enemy presence. What's even /here/ that's worth defending? It's still a puzzle, and one that may yield answers if pieced together.. or broken apart. The shockingly effective duo of could-have-beens manage to momentarily remove Maxima from the fight, as the Beast of Flame impacts brutally across Lady Vic's skull. Her head whips to the side, she steps back. Her chin solidly cracks down /into/ the uppercut, however, taking the jarring blow to the head with bone-crunching manliness, angry fire in her bloodshot, speed-addled gaze.
The junkie forgets the fallen cyborg, for the moment, turning her ire on K' before /leaping/ in full bore, shoulder leading at the Beast of Flame. Once upon a time, she was a rising star of the wrestling ring. Then it was steroids, blow, and a bad gambling debt. Her compatriot, bulbously fat and high off his ass, staggers off Maxima and starts trying to kick the mountain of a man while he's down. There's a confused look on his face as the literal tank of a vigilante just doesn't seem to break like he's supposed to. When in doubt, stomp the fuck out of it.
Meanwhile, the little greaser Maxima trounced joins in, drawing a pair of nasty, rusty bowie knives from his bandoliers and looking for even a pound of flesh on Maxima to /cut/. He barely makes a sound, beyond gurgling blood, barely seems aware, but he's on the cyborg in a flash, steel flashing just as quickly; if it weren't so damn pitted and worn. "Bitches, you don't know who you're /dealing/ with!" The group's leather pimp of a leader cries out, leaping in at K' with an overhead lash of his whip. He'll just take the girly looking one down fast and hard, right to the temple, backing up the Amazonian titan.

K's own shoulder is already braced, heaving into the incoming woman, nearly a half-foot taller than he is, with violent defiance. It shudders painfully through his shoulders, the force of that side to side wreck of bodies, as he refuses to give an inch to the bitch who's trying to take his buddy offline; and clean his clock, to boot. Not to mention scumming up this whole /town/. Larger patrols be fucked, these guys /need/ a good clock cleaning themselves. K' is just the expert smith to provide it, satisfaction guaranteed*. "Oh great, Gorilla Queen and her bondage pimp." K' enthuses, feinting /into/ the descending chain as he places himself dead center between his two assailants, and /leaps/.
It's more like /launches/, really. Flame erupts all along K''s frame as he ascends, twisting about in midair to launch a hellstorm Earthward in meteoric fury. The blast distorts air, sizzles a swift path groundwards, and /explodes/ in an omnidirectional wave of molten flame that surges /everywhere/, seeking to out and out consume the gangers in devouring energy. He /warned/ them he was fucking serious! K' is launched even higher by the descending comet, kicked off as the Beast of Flame backflips violently groundward, landing soon afterward at the edge of the maelstrom in a resounding crash.
The battered and gurgling Torque's knife flashes out again and again as he attempts to skewer and shank the Canadian with the dangerous blade. But instead of a satisfying squelch of rent flesh there is a cacophony of clanks and scrapes as the knife fails to find much else than even harder steel, titanium, and even more advanced alloys and an uninterested Maxima slowly rises into a crouching position.
"No. I'm just about done with you," Maxima growls at the fat man attempts to give him a boot of his own, right to Maxima's dapperly slicked back hair. The individual plates of metal that make up the cyborg's arm splay open suddenly as the fist is cocked back, superheated steam bleeding off from within as it flashes forward again, cutting the fat man's stomping kick short with violently brutal force.

The twin cowboys bolt off to opposite sides of the battleground, locking down the flanks, one under cover near a train car, the other covering him from slightly further back. Tom, the closer twin, simply lowers his revolver and opens fire on the cyborg, carefully picking his shots to avoid maiming his own comrades.. as Maxima all but explodes out from beneath them. The other yells out, "Git back!" and hucks a liquor bottle stuffed with a rag, that looks like he made it on the way over. It's lit at one end, hurtling end over end for the towering robo-warrior; thankfully, it's a far cry from the inferno that all but devours the duo's adversaries.
Screams suddenly fill the area as holy flame erupts around over and all but through the amazon and the chainwielding pimp. Both are thrown brutally from the napalm, leather melting to flesh and denim liquifying into rags as flesh and hair sizzle, the gangers suddenly restyled by Kusanagi fire. A speed-pumped little freak that looks barely old enough to be on the street whips a throwing knife at K' and draws a long machete before charging, in the instants it takes Vic and Stallion to find their feet again. The latter looks like he still has some fight in him, the former, well... the amazon is left near bald, with severe clothing damage; not that the burns make it anything but fan disservice.
She gasps for breath, /screams/ in absolute rage, and charges in at K', seeking to pick the Beast of Flame up and deposit him brutally on his head in a sudden inversion. Blown backwards by the boxer, Brutale bleeds profusely in a dramatic skyward spray, recovering to find himself staring at sky. To his credit, he's back on unsteady feet in a moment, echoing the amazon's roar as he seeks to simply plant two fists into Maxima's grill, one after another... as Torque hugs him. Ideally from behind.
It's sweet, the way he kicks and hangs off the enormous cybernetic titan, trying to unseat his stance with some measure of force. Frowning at the state of his men, Stallion falls back several steps.. and leaps at Maxima, seeking to wrap his chain around the organic part of the cyborg's throat, and /crush/ it already!!

The thrown dagger rips into K''s shoulder, a swift backhand moments too late to deflect it. The blade doesn't penetrate deeply past the renegade prototype's leather jacket, however, and it falls to the ground as he twists to meet Lady Vic. The burnt bruiser cries out again, and then in something decidedly /not/ victory, as the Beast of Flame is smashed down on the other side of her, flipping to land feet first... and /explode/ back into her. He twists in a swift ascent, led by fists that double as flamethrowers, plowing /through/ her as sending the wrestler flying off and into the side of the nearest traincar, the dull thud of metal sounding loudly as she rebounds off and slams into the ground, lying still.
"That's right, fuckers. All you got is numbers, and it still isn't enough." K' lands and flicks fallen shades back to his eyes before they hit the ground, lost somewhere in his ascent. "Hang in there man..." It's rare not to add some derogatory, Maxima is just that close to K', "We'll burn these vermin /out/." More flames are conjured as K' lands, drawn outwards in a blatant attempt to draw attention to himself; or maybe just set every motherfucker still standing on fire.

A gunshot traces across Maxima's targeting HUD in a flash as one of the cowboy's barely misses him with an shot just as a huge, meaty fist slams into the cyborg's face once then once yet again. Growling angrily as he turns his robotic gaze on Brutale, Maxima's targeting computer flashes him another warning and causes him to glance over at Tad Trigger's Molotov cocktail just in time to swat the bottle away, shattering it against Maxima's metal forearm and sending little shards of glass everywhere.
"Damn, I just bought this jacket," Maxima deep voice rumbles as he complains and tries to shake the fire engulfing his forearm out. Up until now the large cyborg has just straight up been ignoring the lithe Torque struggling against his back, attempting to bring the huge man down, but all of the chaos just seems finally catch up to Maxima, even with his fancy computer technology and the scrawny junkie manages to bring the Canadian back down to one knee.
"Get off me you little raGHgHGt!" Maxima yells, his sentence cut off as Stallion's chain finds it's mark and begins trying to strangle the life out of him. "You...GHGT... having HNNG.. fun over there?" Maxima enquirers wryly of his partner as he flirts with a woman that is, frankly, a little out of K's weight class.
He did it! He really did it! He toppled the giant! The group helping to pummel, pin, and otherwise pierce Maxima's shell do a pretty good job helping, of course. They find those vulnerable meaty bits, and ply them for all they're worth, doing their best to keep the giant grounded.. it's clearly an uphill battle, but one they're keen on maintaining. If, you know, Maxima's less immediately intimidating comrade hadn't just sent half of their star wrestling troupe to the burn ward. Sunshine City's flame-wielding vigilante strikes again, it's like he's everywhere at once. "Fucking kill him! Stop them!" Stallion's having a bit of a breakdown, and just tries to beat Maxima in the face with his chain; over, and over, and over, and over, and over again.
Tom of the Triggers retrains on K', taking the moment the Beast of Flame is clear to lay down fire across the area, as his brother takes up the precise fire of a moment before, aimed now at the bioweapon. Enraged at his comrade's new ticket to the burn ward, Brutale /charges/ K' in a flurry of flab and meaty pillars of arms, fists pumping out in a nonetheless dangerous barrage, seeking to simply overwhelm the prototype rogue.
The machete-wielding cokehead Tom calls Shrike when calling out 'Now!' in a thick texan drawl, wiry blonde hair moving little at all in the breeze, also rushes in after his thrown knife to slice for K''s abdomen. Torque? The poor little guy looks about to tweak so hard he strokes out, eyes flickering, face twitching, teeth gritting as he stares boggle-eyed up at his crazed superior. His solution? Try to stay the fuck behind Maxima, and trip the cyborg /again/ while his boss wails away with that length of chain. Then, Torque would stab Maxima in the eye.

Maxima says, "yep"
"Loads." K' drily responds, in between instants. It's like the voice comes from two different places. The boy that K' was, unlike the battlesuit-augmented clone they call Krizalid, his inborne hurricane is consumed by the holy fires of the Kusanagi line. It's still there, though, that ample wellspring of chi; it may be what allows the flames to burn at all. It flickers black as his wardrobe as the Beast of Flame shifts to, then fro, between bullets, from cover to cover, and then at Maxima's side. They had both miscalculated, perhaps; a moment's advantage allowed the tweakers to strike, but it's told them a few things. "Heat it up, we're done here. These fuckers know /shit/."
K' concludes, as he's already standing beside his cyborg partner. He says it as he whips a motorcycle boot out for the squirrely fucker that keeps creeping up on Maxima, seeking to slam him in the head once, twice, and then again, hopefully assisting Torque's mental condition and bad trip immensely. Brutal snapping kicks with a steel toe, that's acceptable therapy, right? K''s foot as found a home amidst many asses; figuratively. Here, it's going for breaking jaws.

K' concludes, as he's already standing beside his cyborg partner. "Pattern Zeta." Preparations have been made for just such a swarm; don't think it hasn't been tried. K' suddenly covers the ground around them in volcanic fire. He could have stood a vigil over Maxima as he tried to correct his systems, fight on; but the questions they have can't be answered here, and the sheer concentration of Abobo's forces demands retribution by the very laws of the cosmos. Sure, Zaki's patrols may have been cut back, defensive perimeters around Inner Sunshine, yadda yadda... but in Outer Sunshine, two WMDs combine their power in an attempt to cleave a brilliant, brutal line right into their entrenched positions.
K' summons it like breathing, like it's second nature; flame, then more flame. It pours from his hand, erupts at his feet, channeled with tensed frame outwards from the small eye of the storm where he and Maxima stand, surrounded by crazed tweakers. The blast is the kind one uses to incinerate evidence of all kinds, to consume bacteria and prevent outbreak, to cleave a demonic demigod in twain. K' drops low, opening the firing pattern for Maxima... just like they've always practiced, and executed, in perfect tandem. The explosion rocks outwards, it threatens to rip their opponents limb from limb, were they not each powerful in their own, limited rights.
... as it is, no one caught in the detonation is likely to be returning to the war soon. Especially once the perimeter is swept by the cyborg's onboard fusion beam, even as napalm-like energy roils outwards, upwards, tidal waves of fire blasting in all directions, with force enough to dislodge traincars from the rails, to burn the dirt for yards around to brittle, lifeless ash.
"Hnnggh..." Maxima growls as the wiry tweaker manages to squirm around and keep himself out of Maxima's reach like a bad itch. The heavy chain slams into the cyborg's face over and over, each impact sending a jarring fuzz of static across Maxima's red field of vision and causing some of the words in his tactical readout to scramble and corrupt with random symbols. "Yeah..." Maxima replies to his comrade as Torque's knife arcs around and slams straight into Maxima's cybernetic right eye causing half of his vision to erupt into the snowy static of a broken television. "...I've seen enough," he finishes ironically before violently shaking himself free of the pesky Torque and disengaging himself from Stallion as he dashes forward, finally putting some distance between himself and the thugs.
##RER0UTI%G VI$UAL OUŽPUT## flashes across the top of the left side of his targeting display as his damaged right optic cuts from static to black. His damaged right eye now exposed as a menacing red orb, a small smirk rises to Maxima's lips as he raises his right arm in front of his face.
##INITIATING PROGRAM MX-VI## The plates in Maxima's right forearm separate and rearrange themselves once more, this time morphing and transforming with an almost hypnotic beauty as his arm completes its metamorphoses into a menacing looking laser rifle, almost like something out of a Michael Bay flick. The hi-tech arm rifle gleams in the fiery light of K”s maelstrom of magma as the huge cyborg levels the weapon and unleashes a steady stream of devastating cerulean light amplified by stimulated emission of radiation which he sweeps in a deadly spiral over his smaller friend's head and into the surrounding crowd.
COMBATSYS: Torque slows #Hyper Chain Drive# from K' with Knife Throw and is partially struck by MX-VI Hyper Final Chain Cannon from K' and Maxima.

It's a hell of an 'abort' button, faced with an army of mooks who, K' suspects, don't really have a clue /what/ they're doing patrolling and garrisoning this urban cesspool. That, and with the eagerness with which the gang was taking apart a very expensive to maintain and difficult to repair mechanical man, the duo may want to rethink their pursuit of answers in this part of town. Or at least pull less aggro at one time, in the future. The supernova lights up the night, fire rushing outwards low, as nuclear plant purges itself in a tremendous wave cannon of coherent energy of similar potency to the holy napalm that launches every single gangbanger clear of the fight.
The bonfires that were lit when K' and Maxima arrived now burn in miniature form nearly everywhere, foliage and debris catching and spreading throughout the area before dissipating only once its hunger is sated. Everywhere, everything from the reinforced steel of cargo cars to the shells of vehicles and a rickety maintenance shed bears the signs of the explosive outpouring. What isn't outright incinerated, blasted apart, is overturned, mangled, rent beyond recognition. At the traintracks, at the mouth of a tunnel, the Stallion kneels, his leather melting into flesh everywhere he can still feel it, his arms, his breath just wanting to give out.
No one else is moving, visibly, by the time the gang's captain falls forward, and collapses hacking on the ground. K' scoffs, a light huff, before looking to Maxima. "There'll be more fucktards coming to defend this shitpile." He observes with his everpresent eloquent grace, "They didn't make you any uglier, at least." Not that the same can be said in reverse. Exhausted, his friend in dangerous shape, and gangers sure to have seen the explosion for a mile around, K' is in a bit more of a hurry to leave than when he got here, but he doesn't outpace Maxima on the course back towards sanctuary.
Brutally burned, in pain compounded by a vicious cocktail of potent drugs and a lifetime of mental illness, a small, charred shape shudders and stirs buried beneath the crumpled derelict cargo car.... a single, tweaking eye opens.... !!!
COMBATSYS: Maxima takes his battle systems offline.
