Strider vs ???

[Space Hunter M]

I will be a Combine Strider synth.

Arena: City 17 (Post-Citadel Singularity)

Rules:
15 Hits to win.
No giant monsters. If you want to use one, choose a smaller one, like Sanda or Gaira. An Ent like Treebeard would do as well.

Intro: In the ruins of a devastated City 17, a group of Striders were sent by the Overwatch to dispose of a small band of armed rebels. One was separated from the main squad.

Intro: Bursting from the sewers emerged a Giant Alligator. The reptile hauled itself towards the Strider, wanting to make it his next meal.
