The visible mana in the room flows into the machine as it roars full to life. The glowing substance inside it begins to react violently,
"W-walpurga. Y-you have... c-come at last! I... need... your... SOUL!" The four coils on the sides begin to share an electrical current, causing Walpurga and Winry to duck behind cover. The lightning discharges hitting the cover and leaving scorched marks across the room. The machine seems to be alive, probably due to Simon's, or Anton's, soul still being trapped in the machine. The mana in the area is allowing everyone to regenerate their mana!

See what I've become
While Hakim, Garret, and Isaac were discussing, The Fox woman appears to have noticed them and is smiling,
"It's funny. I always hated the smell of a demi-god. A mockery of those who are true gods. Not fully human, and not fully divine. I hate your kind. I also detest Knights, and robots, and it seems I get a full helping of all three." She sneers and laughs,
"I assume you came for the part that was stored here? Well, I already claimed it. Oh, I know. Let's fight for it. You three against me, my guardian, and my pet?" The fox woman jumps off of the armor and tosses a computer chip towards one of the walls covered with broken mechs and weapons. The metal from the wreckage begins to magnetize towards the chip, surrounding it and forming a mechanical construct. When it's finished, a four legged monster stands where two mechs were, looking at the group. The fox woman then snaps her finger, and a greenish azure spirit emerges from the armor before pulling the armor up and around it forming a spirit armor. The armor is azure, it's intent to kill very evident.
Garret would realize that the Armor is from a notorius Dragon Slayer called the Azure Knight. Hakim would recognize the Technovore from datafiles he once read while he was undergoing repairs. Isaac would remember the fox woman. She was a Kitsune, and one of the Yokai who once served Amaterasu before being cast out by Tsukiyomi.

Movement is Speed/3.
If your behind cover, Damage is reduced dependent on line of sight. if it is diagonaly, half damage. horizontal reduces it fully.
Note that attacks made from cover are only half as effective.
Unless PN says no, you have puppet of Winry. Also, Giest Ark is a puzzle boss. You won't be able to kill him by just bashing him with lab objects. Plan accordingly and use every asset you have to your advantage. :3
