Metal Nightmare (EVENT)

Smoke rose into the sky as Metal soldiers moved through the streets and buildings of boston, killing all ressistance. Heat seaking rockets tore through the air as energy weapons were fired as machines and soldiers faught for ground. Buildings crumbled, and though some of the machines were burried, they seemed to eventually dig their way out of the rubble and continue attacking, in an ever expanding ring.

A tank broke through the line, crushing two machines. It pushed forward, machine guns taking down the metal warriors as they appeared. It turned it's turret and fired on a machine that stood alone. It's target vanished in an explosion of smoke. There was silence as the dust cleared. The machine stood unscathe, holding a chunk of metal in one hand. It tossed aside the tank round and moved towards the tank.

Silver cloak rippling the machine was on the tank in seconds. With a show of strenght It flipped the tank over onto its back, and then ripped out the lower escape hatch. A round was fired point blank into its face but the lead just bounced off as it reached into the tank and pulled out a radio.

"I am Xeradul the Armored. This fight is hopeless. Stop wasting lives and leave this city." He dropped the radio and walked away. A missile fired from a pack on his back, ripping a hole in the tank and killing its occupants. He stopped and stared at the tank. after 3 minutes, more metal soldiers had formed out of the metal and circuitry, helped along by nano machines. The newly formed robots stomped off to join the front lines and continue the fight, as Xeradul headed back to continue his search.

After a few of the metal soldiers were taken down, a green haired man took them apart and analyzed just what made them go down. He soon found the main source of the soldiers. Or at least their leader. However, he was surrounded by the metal men. The man's snake like doll fired out a barrage of energy beams, aiming for a certain spot on each minion. No beam missed its target.

In a blur, Alexander Kerensky stood in front of the robotic creature. "You know, it's not nice to destroy cities. Why do it? Just for fun? Or is there something you want?" The green haired man with a black bucket hat stared at his foe, his doll floating in a loose coil around him. His poison gases would be useless against it...but those were more for annoyances than anything.

(you've had 3 days to post since my email. i'm skipping you this round ragnarok.)

Xeradul lifted a car aside and tossed it from his path as he continued to search. A powerful blow of his fist shattered the earth and he ripped aside tarmacadam and rock to pull loose a chunk of metal. Examining it for a moment he realised it was useless and tossed it away. Digging a little deeper he found a thick cable and pulled it loose from the ground, just as a stranger appeared and took out a group of his machines. Xeradul's head clicked as he turned towards the stranger still holding the power cable. He examined the man.

"Human, what did you do just now? From what I've seen of your technology so far, such a device is too high tech to exist. So what is that lifeform in your hand?" Xeradul dropped the power cable and took two steps towards the man. "Nice is a human thing. I do not think like you. As for why... That is classified. You will have to allow me continue if you intend to find out what I'm doing. Protocol 7 dictates I should destroy you though. I cannot allow you to live to see that." Xeradul reached into nothing and pulled out a long handled axe. He hefted it over his shoulder and considered the man.

Alex looked astonished. "First of all, why would I make cheap knockoffs of my capabilities? I'd rather make cheap knockoffs of others' capabilities. Secondly, why would I explain my abilities' inner workings? That's not good combat sense. And thirdly...I'm not human..." Loran spewed out a noxious and thick green gas, more to hide what he was doing than anything, seeing as the creature was robotic in nature. He really should create a corrosive gas at some point. Hopefully it would hide him from view as twenty little energy snakes spread out into nooks and crannies.

When the gas was blown away (or Alex forced to move and the gas blown away from the resulting swinging force), the snakes would attack, getting close to it, then exploding with the power of 1/20th of a gran rey each. Alex would be up in the air, a good 50 yards away. From his floating doll around him, it fired 20 energy beams, which zigzagged and bounced in random ways to target one and only one thing...the the switchaxe and arm.

The scientist watched and waited...he was a patient man...wanting to find out the machine's secrets...what it can do...and then...he'll counter it...

"That thing is not a machine?" Xeradul asked. It appeared that Serion information concerning humans was a little outdated. What was more intresting though, was that this man was apparently not human. "Not human? Explain, please." Xeradul said casually as green smoke flew up around him, spat by the man's animal.

Xeradul summoned his heavy shield for the extra defense, and gripped his shotgun axe in one hand. He did not wait for the gas to clear, but moved from the area, anticipating a trap. Of course he was correct, but not in the way he expected. He dodged across the battlefield taking a few hits from the little snakes, but most of the time made it away or knocked them away with his axe. The man was up in the air, he fired off a cluster of beam attacks, and Xeradul ducked behind his shield which took the brunt of the assualt without trouble.

Xeradul then launched himself into the air and slashed at the man with his axe, and as he fell back down let loose a shotgun blast from below. His impact to the ground cracked it. Then he dodged back and waited, watching the man some more.

Alex watched as he ignored the question and did his moves. The alloy seems to be similar to that of an advanced hierro...but will take a bit of analyzing before he'll be able to penetrate easily. The shield however...he wasn't sure if he could handle that. As the man leapt, he created an energy broadsword and put it up to defend, with the help of Loran's head and tail blade. He was knocked down, forced into a front flip, and clearly open. Loran had his back though, and created a barrier to block the shotgun blast.

It then stretched out the tail blade in a stab downwards, but the metal thing dodged back, though a trio of energy beams followed. The tail retracted as Alex threw a boomerrang of energy that curved around an attempt to block it, and hopefully hit the metal creature in the base of the neck with its blade.
