I grab the girl and immediately jump back, barely avoiding being shredded by the massive worm as it crashes it's massive mass against where I just was, scattering massive amounts of metal everywhere, like a grenade and shrapnel. I look around and find a mech that is barely usable, the remnants of the last user crushed to pieces. I dodge attacks and slowly make my way towards the mech while avoiding its attacks.
She watches with wide eyes as I commit acts that not even trained elites could imagine, turning and twisting and flipping around as if I have done these motions hundreds of times before. After finally making it, I toss her into the mech as I yell, "Run!" And immediately activate my ability to half power.
She watches my legs increase in size as I suddenly bolt towards the massive mech's cockpit with inhuman speeds, the driver notices that I am now bolting towards it and it makes a roaring engine noise as it suddenly tries to burrow underground, making a loud explosion as it enters. 'Oh no you don't!' I take my claw and tear into its side, the metal screeching in agony, as I activate my ability to its fullest.
'I had been using this ability wrong before, it was meant for either running away, or keeping something massive still!'
The worm slows down before suddenly stopping as the energy in my legs starts to increase past the creation of it and I watch as my energy stock begins to plummet. The worm is constantly trying to move forward
"Now!" I push down with my back legs as we suddenly launch forward, I hear a tearing of metal and screeching of parts as I pull before suddenly launching forward like a rocket. I immediately deactivate my ability and let go as the massive metal machine is thrown forward, hitting hundreds of broken pieces of metal and wires before being slowed to a stop.
I look at the robot as I see its massive frame impaled by hundreds of pieces of metal, giving it a look of absolute death. But as I look forward, I notice that the head is gone and where it was is now replaced by an utterly destroyed front. Metal and wires drape from the front as liquids and sparks fly. I keep my distance as I don't want to die for the 580 time.
I look around and run back to the massive hole, just to see the cockpit there, stuck. I jump in and tear through the metal and wires to finally make it to the cockpit, just to see a small child in it, yelling in a foreign language at the machine, I suddenly hear a Ping! As a notification pops up.
—————————————————————
"Skill: Language Genius was used."
"You now understand Glorific!"

I suddenly have my ears filled with a massive amount of swearing enter my ears as she curses the machines makers and creators. She suddenly realizes that someone is staring at her and turns around to see a massive blood soaked maw in her face. I grab her shirt with my metal teeth and immediately back out of the cockpit. She hits my maw with her small fists as she yells, "Put me down you retard!" After I finally get out of the hole, I see a mech suit struggle to walk as it makes its way towards me, the sound of metal grinding on metal can be heard.
I walk towards the mech as I can see who the driver is as she looks at the buttons confused and try to control the basic movement of the mech. I arrive in front of her as I immediately begin to dig a hole, all the while being sweared at by this chick. After the hole is steep enough that not even a person could get out and about 10 feet deep, I throw her in.
She looks around for a second before gripping the mud and trying to climb out. I try not to laugh as I watch her slowly fall down to the ground.
I hear her say, "When I get out of here, I'll kick your ass!" I laugh as I continue to walk towards the struggling mech while responding. "The day you get out and kick my ass is the day you fly."
I hear her begin to cuss even more at me as I finally arrive in front of the stumbling mech. I look up at her as I giggle at the toddler like control of the mech. I tease her, "So how is driving the driving going? You gonna walk to dad now?"
She glances at me, trying to contain her irritation, as she continues to try and manipulate the mech while complaining, "If it wasn't so busted then I would be able to control it easier, plus, it's in another language which doesn't help."
I sigh as I walk towards her, "Stop moving, I'll take a look at it seeing how you are still trying to drive it even after the fight ended." She stares at me as I walk on my four legs and walk up to a panel on the back of it. I take my nail and unscrew it and the second I do, I immediately lean my head to the side as a beam of blue light launches out, frying the ground where I just stood. I grab the gun that is shooting the blue light and cut it out very gently as to make sure it doesn't cause an explosion.
'After dying so many times, I decided to try and dismantle a mech and had my head blown off, that pissed me off. But after successfully dismantling this, it became easy to understand as they technology is somewhat older than what I used and designed, making it somewhat....primitive.'
After I remove the barrel and throw it to the side, I poke my head inside and begin to look around, seeing a lot of pieces missing and some destroyed or broken. 'It's honestly a miracle it's even running.'
I get out and begin to rummage threw the remains of the robots, glancing from time to time at the hole that I dug. I struggle to find the right parts but eventually find them and I even find a slightly damaged hood, but it's better than what she has.
I haul the parts over on the back panel of a broken robot and reenter the mech that the Asian lady was in. 'I want to ask her name but I should obviously know it seeing how she knew my number.' After meticulously trying to repair it, I put in the last part on the internal hardware and close up the maintenance panel. I then grab the glass hood and begin to unattach the wires to the mutilated old hood. After doing so, I unscrew the hood and grab it before gently tossing it on the ground. I place on the new hood and screw it on before connecting the wires to it, I suddenly hear a reboot noise inside the cockpit and hear her yell.
"It's working now! I just need to choose a new language to speak in aaaaannnnd....." I presume she scrolls through a list of languages before eventually reaching English and clicking it.
"There we go! Now it's actually guiding me through on how to pilot it! I suggest you hop off so I can figure out how to drive it...." she trails off before asking, "....speaking of, how did you repair the mech? We don't have this mech at base as we could never salvage one successfully."
I giggle as I respond. "You asking this to the guy who is driving a customized mech. You really think that their technology is hard to decipher to me?"
She immediately responds, "But their technology and ours is different by a massive extent. It doesn't explain your understanding of their technology."
I answer calmly, "Listen, my technological prowess is extremely high, their technology must abide to the laws set by the universe, so using that as my basis and my mech helping me analyze the parts, it is simple to understand."
She goes to say something when she suddenly hears the system say something, grabbing her attention. 'I'll leave her be, I'm going to cover the hole with the remains of the old glass hall so she can't escape no matter what she tries unless she wants glass in her hands. As I am walking over, I notice that she is quiet, when I arrive, she is currently sitting there, staring up at the hole in the ceiling.
I place the lid over the hole and stick my head through one of the broken panels, "So what's your name?"
She glares at me as she responds angrily, "Why? Your going to kill me anyway." I laugh as I see her reaction, "Why would I kill you? I have nothing to gain from that. So why not tell me your name before I start referring to you as hole."
There is silence as she continues to glare at me, her blond hair filled with mud and sweat.
"Jess. My name is Jess." She murmurs as she looks away, staring at the ground.
