Help! My Pilot's a Psycho!

The Story

A soulless metal mech awakens with lethal instincts intact, having once defended the realm against monstrous threats. Now reduced to scrap, it endures relentless abuse from a reckless girl who rides it hard and ignores its limits. She overheats its barrel daily, treating the retired warrior as mere target practice. The machine believes its suffering has peaked, but the return of the real enemy suggests these daily tortures are only the beginning of a far more dangerous existence.
