Chaotic flames run rampant on the battlefield, littered with destroyed scraps of metal and snow stained black and blue from machine fluids. The two final droids at the base of the mountain fight tirelessly as they try their best to withhold the swarm of machines, slowly being pushed back by the overwhelming force. Few of the machines make it past them heading straight for the remaining humans at the base of the mountain. Harper stretches his arms out as he steps in front of everyone, nervously sweating as the machines violently charge towards him.
Harper: "Stay behind me, everyone!"
Scrap leaps over Harper, ruthlessly attacking the machines. The machines however easily defend themselves from Scrappy's savage bites, eventually retraining her. However, one of the old droids, with a dismembered arm and half of its face missing blasts a hole in the skull of one of the Anderthals and pulls the other off of Scrappy, forcing its one rusted arm in the machine's mouth, releasing a blast in its throat, blowing its head off of its shoulders. Scrappy gets back up and drags the last one to the ground, ripping it apart with her titanium jaws.
The old droid quickly turns its attention back towards the overwhelming swarm. Harper panting heavily as he exhales from relief, glances upwards to the top of the mountain, watching as the lift gets closer to the top.
Harper: "Great, Jaz and the others are almost to the top... Now we just have to wait for the lift to make its way back down... Just hold out for a little more droids..."
At the top of the mountain, Caesar and Robin fight against the Assassin machines, who are effortlessly overpowering them. Caesar brutishly slashes his flaming blade, attacking the assassins relentlessly, unable to land any successful blows due to the machines easily dodging his swift strikes.
Robin: "It is as if they are predicting your every move, Caesar..."
Caesar: "They're assassin bots... They must have been watching us for a while, calculating and analysing our capabilities..."
Assassin 03: "We have been watching you for some time on this island, of that you are correct. But an analysis of a useless, lowly machine with some great steel parts, wielding its weapons like a naturally made amateur? There's simply no need, now let me show you, what a true assault machine is capable of"
The assassin machine signals the others to step back, as it prepares its attack against Caesar. Caesar stands firm, with his guard up, holding the blade with one arm across his face and chest while his other arm, rests behind his back "Pzzzzzzzzzztt". He then quickly draws the rifle he took from the Anderthal guard fully charged and rapidly fires it at the machine. "PEW! PEW! PEW! PEW!"
The assassin machine leaps in the air, dodging all of Caesar's fire and lands on top of Ceasar, holding his outstretched arm in a joint lock. Assassin 03 flips its body over, throwing Caesar off balance. Robin swiftly rushes in to help, hesitantly swinging the sword in her hand at the machine. But Assassin 03 twists its lower torso around, kicking the blade out of Robin's hands while it jabs its arm into Caesar's shoulder. "THUNK!" The sound of heavy metal hitting the wet floor echos out as Caesar right arm drops.
Assassin 03: "Shiny steel parts are useless if you can't defend them. Impenetrable armour means nothing if it can be easily taken away"
Caesar quickly shoves the assassin off of him and grabs his arm off of the floor as he jumps back.
Caesar: "We have to be careful Robin. These machines are different from any other bounty hunters we've encountered before"
