Lazarus took a deep breath, though he had no need of it. The metatron in his Orbital Frame suplimented his heart and lungs, therefor he currently had no need of them. In fact, the cloned tissue had been fused with a dead man's trigger. If he left the cockpit, his heart and lungs would become non-functional. But that didn't matter, he was in a 60 foot tall machine, and it was powerful. He was lucky really, that he'd managed to escape, but he brought himself back to the task at hand. He had other things to do besides reminise. He'd received reports that the belters had managed to harvest over a ton of metatron on the far side of the belt, and they were quickly heading back to the capital. One Dragonfly class carried the material, and it had several belter fighter escorts. Lazarus had been waiting for them, his Orbital Frame, Jehuty Genesis, in standby mode. They wouldn't be able to detect him as long as minimal power was used. Metatron acted as though it were energy, and thus does not show up on normal radar.
There! In the distance! And engine flare, he could see it as the darting belter ships adjusted course, being sure to stay under cover of asteroid without ever hitting any. It really was remarkable how they darted about, never managing to smack a roid. It was a skill Lazarus had taken several hours out to get used to, so he'd be effective in combat. The belter ships were rapidly approaching, they were almost on him...
NOW!
Jehuty exploded in a flash of green energy, and shot forwards like a bolt out of hell. It darted in right in front of one of the dancing belter fighters, and cut it in half as its sword swept forward from its arm. And all the while, Lazarus howled with the pure, simple pleasure of it. He was moving the beast as if it were his own body, it responded more readily than his own arm, and he was loving it. The other fighters oriented on him, and opened fire. EM Lasers washed over him as he brought up the Jehutys shield, which was installed on its left arm. It redirected the EM waves aside or absorbed them, keeping Jehuty and its pilot from being harmed. Shield still activated, Lazarus hit the boosters, and Jehuty lanced forwards, dropping the shield at the last moment to impale one of the fighter. Lazarus flung the fighter off his sword at another 100 meters away, causing them both to explode in a blue orb of plasma. He eye's shone as he eye's the remaining escort, as well as the Firefly ship. "Five more to go!" He announced over the comm, pointing Jehutys arm forwards and firing five homing lasers. The fighters darted around desperately trying to evade the deadly beams. "Do your best!" Lazarus laughed, he'd never liked the bloody official types anyways.
