The hoverbike makes a tight turn to face Kain, so both it and the rider can fire a massive storm of Missiles at the spike-cord swarm in an attempt to destroy or neutralize them.

The two attacks seem to neutralize each other, and the detonations caused by the missiles causes a thick dust cloud to form. Except Kain quickly leaps through the cloud, intent on using his own mass like a battering ram to crush the red and black. Oh yeah, and Kain is starting to generate a small storm around himself, as his systems start to go into overdrive mode.

Well, this is shitty boring. Madoka? Anyone?

Oh, yeah. I shrouded myself so Madoka couldn't pull me out of the Arena, or even realize I was in it, until my Soul Gem broke or went dark. Didn't want to get bitched out or pulled out of unfinished business.

Well... fuck. This sucks a dong.

The Robot ditches the bike by jumping off of it, sacrificing it to save her skin as she scrambles for cover.

   What are you idiots waiting for?! Kare o Utsu!   

Several Commandos, the ones that arrived several hours ago, emerge from concealment and fire their laser carbines at Kain. Though there's one of them using a laser machine gun instead.

Isaki gives a mental sigh, and decides that she'd rather face the music with Madoka now rather than die slowly to corruption over the course of days if not weeks... and then face the music with Madoka.

She breaks the shroud and sends out a mental shout possibly loud enough to stun the other combatants, if they can hear it.

MADOKA!

The reply comes several moments later.

Isaki? Where are you... Oh. Oh. Of course... I should have known as soon as you shrouded... Now do you see why this place is a bad idea?

Yeah right. I was doing fine, I just got unlucky.

What was that?

Uh... nothing. Now can you get me out of here already? Please?

Madoka sighs, and Isaki vanishes in a flash of pink light.

Kain slams into the bike, reducing it to a flaming mass of metal. Which he quickly grabs unto and tosses into the soldiers firing upon him. Their laser fire slamming into Kain's empowered shield with no obvious signs of damaging it. In fact...Kain's shielding starts to change to the color of the beams, as if...almost absorbing the energy. "Come back here and FIGHT!"

I almost feel bad for the wetware bot. Nobody deserves pissed off Kain.

Two Commandos are reduced to scrap metal by Kain's attack, having been too slow to duck and cover meanwhile the Sniper Commando, the seeming leader of the team takes aim at Kain with his Gauss Rifle from atop a rock and fires at him... Only for the Black-Red to land right next to him and snatch the rifle off his hands.

   Give me that you incompetent cur!   

After taking the rifle, Black-red fires several missiles at Kain before once again running away to build distance.

Hm... who to play now, who to play now...

Then, in a flash of red light, a different Puella Magi spawns in, shaking her head.

"Isaki, Isaki... as if one reckless idiot in blue wasn't bad enough..."

"Guess I'll just have to show both of 'em how it's done..."

She flips a spear up to her hand, and heads in the direction of the battle.

What! Kyoko, what are you doing?!

Hey, I can't let that idiot give Mahou Shoujo everywhere a bad name...

The Guass rifle sends a round right into Kain's shoulder, and the machines shielding flickers for a moment. Long enough for the missiles to slam into his weakened shielding and break it. The visible damage done when the smoke clears? Kain is missing his right arm, and the left half of his visor is cracked.    "Heliot, deploy drop pods."   

["Wait, you really want some weapons this time? Um, okay then. They should be down there soon. Stay safe."]

With that order done, Kain begins running towards the Squad leader like a mad bull. Intent on running up and impaling him on his left arm. Once that is done, Kain would use him as a shield against whatever attack the Redblack would use next.

Sniper Commando gets impaled, but he doesn't shut down instantly and in his last moments; he tries to detonate his grenade belt. While the remaining Commandos (3) chase after Kain, shooting and throwing grenades all the while.

Black-red spins around and fires a gauss shot at Kain, not caring that Sniper Commando was being used as a shield and ending up destroying the Commando before he could arm his grenades.

Kyoko takes to the rooftops, moving quickly, hopefully only visible as a flash of crimson against the sky.

"Ten out of ten for teamwork, jackass... you're worse than Sayaka..." Kyoko muttered, seeing the commandobot shut down its comrade moments away from a suicide attack.

She then jumps down behind the three commandobots, attempting to hack two into pieces with her whipspear before they can respond.

One Commando is sliced to bits while the other, having reacted to Kyouko faster; ended up tumbling backwards, only getting a gash across its head. The third one, the machinegunner; turns around and tries to turn Kyouko into hamburger with its Laser Machinegun

With his shield destroyed, Kain lets out a curse as he leaps up into the air. This lets him avoid most of the initial gunfire and explosions, but he finds himself wishing his spike-cords were still intact. So instead he boosts down at the nearest commando with his legs stretched out, intent on crushing the poor bastard beneath his feet. If it works...Kain would then steal the destroyed foes weapon and fire it down upon the others.

Kyoko turns her weapon back into a normal spear, and uses Spin to Deflect Stuff, adding a little extra red mana to ensure she stopped the rain of heavy fire.

"Now that's how you beat a guy with a gun. Not by charging at them and hoping you can hit them before you drown in your own blood. I hope you guys are taking notes." Kyoko is muttering seemingly to herself.

MG Commando gets smashed into the ground by Kain's rider kick, prompting Blackred to snipe him on the arm.

So Blackred is the last survivor?

If she's no longer under fire, Kyoko will attempt to shove her spear up Blackred's ass. With a little extra red mana on its head, to make sure it can pierce metal.

Kain is unable to get his shields online or dodge the shot, so he merely lets out an annoyed growl as the bullet tears through his arm. By sheer luck, the arm's primary systems are still able to function. The forcefield generator in it though? Well, least the rest of Kain is protected.

With an angry yell, Kain runs towards Blackred's position. His visor practically glowing crimson red the whole time, giving him the appearance of an angry demon. Of course, the Blackred wouldn't be intimidated by such a silly thing, right?

Blackred, being a half-machine doesn't panic and freeze up... But she is however absolutely terrified by the much more advanced killer robot calling for her blood and so she fires everything she's got on Kain: her gauss rifle, all of her missiles and the Pulse gun on her left arm all while screaming in both fear and outrage.

Just assume that Blackred is focusing all of her attention on Kain

Kain sets his forcefields to their limit, becoming a shining beacon of blue light right before the swarm of gunfire shrouds him in thick smoke. Only for Kain's absolutely RUINED at this point body to come flying forward, still intent on murdering the hell out of the wetware. Even if all he has is one powerful headbutt.

2 posts till drop-pod.

Also this is what happens when you piss off Kain. You get his dying mechanical corpse coming at you like a freaking ZOMBIE. Maybe he and Berserker do have more in common than I thought.

BS, Green Lantern vs. Puella Magi would be a curbstomp. They can survive body damage and Feel No Pain by retreating into their Soul Gem, but only Sayaka can actually heal at a combat-effective rate, and that costs her a shit-ton of mana depending on the wound. Their attacks are also fairly limited. BN vs. Puella Magi would probably be equal.

As we saw with Isaki-kun, body damage still disables them. Most Puella Magi would be vulnerable to Just Shoot Her, especially if you knew to target the Soul Gem (or failing that, took out their kneecaps). Kyoko probably couldn't canonically use Spin to Deflect Stuff, but... fuck getting shot dead 5 seconds in.

Now, the Nanoha mages... those are the ones you really want to watch out for.

Kain's headbutt caves in Blackred's chest as they both crash into the side of the mountain range surrounding the facility. When the dust and rubble clears, Blackred emerges from the cloud... Shoving Kain aside and then... staggering and stumbling about like a drunk as she tries to look for Kyouko.

I thought I was probably overestimating, but nobody else came to mind as fast. :/ Which is kinda funny, as I know less about GL than about any other mainstream DC character.

Would Isaki ever have actually gotten back up from that headshot without retreating as she did?

I don't actually know. I dunno just how much non-Sayaka healing magic can do. I know there is such a thing, Mami healed Kyubey, but...

Also, Isaki being still conscious was also stretching canon. When Sayaka became a disembodied Soul Gem due to bad luck, she totally lost consciousness. But Isaki has more experience as a Puella Magi, so it's possible she knows more about how to manipulate her state as a Soul Gem.
