mech could ever really imitate them perfectly, but it was the best he could do.
    His gray armor adjusted. Made of thousands of miniscule pieces that fit together perfectly, it formed the shape Tieran considered best against the Fearless. The normally very plain-looking armor turned into something that resembled a form-fitting cloth around his body, with layers upon layers of nanobots resting on top of each other.
    The thin, easily breakable appearance was misleading, but Tieran had no idea if it could actually withstand the attack of a Fearless.
    He only had enough time to pull his short glaive free before the Fearless came at him, the creature's pounding footsteps making the ground shake beneath Tieran’s feet.
    Tieran jumped out of the way, knocking the glaive to its full length. The handle became almost as tall as he was, with the gleaming blade at the top of it becoming longer as well. Like the armor and Tieran himself, the weapon changed to confront the enemy in the most effective way.
    And right on time too, because the Fearless opened its terrific mouth to swallow him whole. Tieran stared the mech down, standing his ground when the creature roared with his five rows of razor-sharp teeth, each as long as Tieran’s blade. He waited, his stance changing in preparation of taking the blow that was to come.
    The Fearless bit down, its jaws spreading thrice as wide as they had been before, to allow it to bite Tieran in two.
    He jumped at once, right into the creature's gaping maw. Tieran jammed the glaive into the beast's mouth, the blade impaled between the second and third row of teeth. His powerful muscles flexed, aided by his armor, but still the Fearless pressed its jaws together. It was programmed not to react to anything that would indicate pain.
    Fearless didn't know pain. No compassion either. They had so little of it that they didn't even have any self-preservation to speak of.
    A normal living thing would have tried to shake Tieran off, to pry him away, but the towering black monstrosity only bit down harder. It was still roaring, the volume of its voice so loud it made Tieran shake in the vibrations of the sound waves.
    He dodged the beast's clawed hands, finally coming to rip him out of its mouth. With nowhere else to go, Tieran pressed himself deeper between its jaws. His elevated heartbeat told him that his body understood the danger he was in, but Tieran had no doubts about the course he had chosen.
    Both his hands were wrapped around the glaive's handle, pushing the weapon deeper into where the creature's brain was. That was the only way to shut the mech-Fearless down.
    The Fearless knew it too. Its jaws slammed down on him so suddenly that Tieran barely had time to react before he was almost squished. He could feel his ribs crack under the tremendous pressure. Around him, the Fearless was chewing , trying to chomp him into pieces.
    His armor was giving him wild, beeping signals. It was the control room, asking him if he wanted to stop the mech. Tieran ignored it, pushing the glaive deeper with all the stubbornness he was known for.
    If he couldn't handle a cheap copy of the real enemy, he had no hope in the field.
    Something broke in his shoulder as the Fearless now tried to crush him between his teeth. They were scraping at his armor and tearing layers of nanobots away. Tieran knew he had a minute, maybe less, before the Fearless chewed his unbreakable armor off and spat his mangled corpse out right along with it.
    He rested one boot against one of the bigger fangs and put all his strength and will behind the glaive. The Fearless' roar almost deafened him. The teeth cut through his armor now as the beast chewed wildly, clawing at its own mouth with its massive claws to get him out.
    None of that was the imagination of the Palian engineers. All of the Fearless' fighting techniques were taken from a real creature that had once lived. A Brion general called Braen had finally killed it, doing something similar
