Knives and forks floated in midair as Cyn held up a hand. All were poised to strike V1. The lights went out, only lit by the eyes of worker drones. Brainwashed and possessed, each of them held a weapon, ready to kill. Yellow flashes surrounded V1 and all hell broke loose.

V1 parried a thrown knife into an unsuspecting worker. Then he placed a nail magnet on the floor, letting the forks and knives stick to it, creating a trap. When the drones attacked him, V1 fired a revolver shot at the beeping magnet, sending pieces of metal flying everywhere. Cyn herself attacked with claws and sawblades, but V1 nimbly dodged, materializing his yellow arm to slice Cyn's crude defenses. Rearing up, Cyn readied three railguns, all poised at V1. Behind him stood three workers, claws out.

With two well-timed coin tosses, V1 redirected the railgun's charge into the two drones behind him. Deftly avoiding a swipe from the last one, a boosted shotgun blast sent it into oblivion.

"Seems we finally meet, puppeteer," V1 spoke, confronting the eldritch machine. Cyn launched three sawblades at V1, but V1 Placed a magnet for the saws to orbit. The spinning saws dug deep into Cyn's many limbs and the centipede-like creature fell from the ceiling.

Firing the malicious railcannon at the door, V1 shouted "Tessa, Get out of here NOW!" Overpumping his shotgun up to its limits, V1 lunged at Cyn, his blade pointed at her throat.

"Deathwish much? Do you want to die-" Cyn said, readying dozens of sawblades to scrap the approaching machine.

A massive explosion sent Cyn reeling, burnt, and battered. V1 dashed left, avoiding the worst of the explosion. "I cannot change the past," V1 said, approaching Cyn while his blade dragged on the ground.
