You moved your machine left and right with your left arm. Making happy toned music with each step the mech took!

...: this is awesome!

You shouted out in pure joy as you sat back down with a tired huff.

As of now, and from the starting position of where you knew were...you were now about 125 feet away from your original position...

But in that distance...

You made a machine "dance"!

...: OK, time for the thrusters!

You gently swayed your left arm as you heard several metal plates shift around the mech. A burst of red flame blew out from the exhaust ports, as a constant and powerful bright blue flame that seemed to almost push your machine without your control. But with a quick flick of your wrist, you quickly made the front two legs of the machine slam down to halt it from any involuntarily movement.

...and the sound that accompanied your thrusters...was an instrument called...trumpet..?

As of the moment, an elongated, sharp, and large sounding horn could be heard around you. Only playing different notes when the constant flame had to pulsate to not over heat.

In any case, you stumbled and almost rolled out of the seat before regaining your foot after standing g back up...

...: well...they definitly work!

You smiled and cheered...then an idea came to mind...

In the midst of watching the now kicked up snow flying around your machine...you couldn't help but look up and through the break in the mini snow storm you had made...

Without a second thought...without a reaction...without saying anything...

You brought your left hand up before raising it...

Like a conductor instructing an orchestra to raise into fortisimo, and into a higher note...

The flames that brewed and pushed forcefully became brighter, longer...and even stronger...

...you wanted to see if you could fly...

The anticipation, and concentration that washed over you was almost enough to make you drool...if this body could even drool that was...

In any case, you were ready to make something called a crescendo...a raise to power if you will...

But just before you could send yourself and this metal contraption through the air...

...: alright...let's see what you can really d- !

You heard somthing...then it grew louder...

With your hand still raised to lift and guide the mech jnto flight...you looked over to see loose rocks bouncing around...but it wasn't from the force the machine was out putting...it was somthing else...

???: unidentified machine...please stand down and comply with PCA instructions...

A strange female voice came through as you began to feel the air around your mech...tremble?
