Fire true he did. The sound of harsh metal crashing on metal would be a sound that Isaac would want to forget. It would haunt him, follow him around for years to come and to be quite frank, he couldnt wait to die.

Because then he wouldnt be subjected to torture of that magnitude.

Isaac might have been in pain, but that did not stop him from realizing that he landed a strong shot on the boy from Ten. He was confident in his ability to aim after all. The cannon collided with the back of the mech, knocking what looked like to be the gas hose out of place. Sven groans over the intercom and while it was hard to sense anything in this mechanical death trap, there was opportunity.

And then without even having to say anything, Ellis was already out of his mech, fidgeting with the flint that he had grabbed from his bag. Without missing a beat, he ran up to Sven's mech and struck it against the gravel. Pink sand had created orange flames that engulfed an already broken mech. Ellis stood back for a moment before looking at Isaac, and he had to admit, he was impressed. Together, they took out the boy from ten, though Isaac knew the kill might for to Ellis before him. He was okay with that. He wasnt looking to beef up his statistics anymore.

They didnt matter.

Isaac is tired, but he finds enough strength to pull himself out of his mech. He sat on the ground and looked forward for a moment, singed flesh now wafting in the area as screams from Sven's mech populate ten fold. "We did do that." Isaac is no stranger to death, and he has already made peace with the fact that he is a murderer. However, he is intrigued watching someone else take their first life. "I guess we survive another day."

Isaac is worse for wear, but he isnt trying to keep his guard up. The screams are becoming more distant but the smell is starting to carry over. He knew he should run, but he has a feeling that one death might have been enough. Ellis might have been a little too shocked to continue, and for that, Isaac does not blame him. They are at a standstill, but one that benefits both of them.

"I wish I knew how we got out of here." Isaac was half listening, trying to catch his breath. "To be fair though, I dont even know how we got in here in the first place." Maybe stating the obvious wasnt the most beneficial thing in this moment. Though he could tell that Ellis was starting to become uncomfortable, the screams sounding more guttural and visceral by the second.

"Just give it time Ellis..." Isaac leaned against his mech for support as he heard more cannons go off in the distance. "...We all die eventually."

Of course, one makes it out of here, but they too will die at some point.

Its a fate they all share in common.
