Under the wary gazes of many, two mechas—one red, one green—rushed toward the pair of level-five insectoids.
"Should we distract them first?" Yuri asked. The insectoids were currently hot on the tails of their fighter jets and mechas, making it challenging for them to strike.
"I'll do it." Tuss replied.
The two mechas traced an arc in the sky, passing the insectoids in a showy, provocative manner, leaving behind a cloud of exhaust as they went.
"Quite the show-off." Someone commented in the public chat.
"You should've seen him on Planet Alpha. Now that was a show." Someone else chimed in.
"I did. Hence the 'quite'."
"Watch out, or Tuss might come after you."
"He can't argue with the truth."
Tuss: "....I wasn't piloting the mecha then."
Yuri: "......Everyone in the Alliance knows you were."
Roar.
Angered, the two insectoids screeched, abruptly halted in mid-air, and made a sharp U-turn to chase after Tuss.
