Beo found herself surrounded by dozens of robotic corpses, and circled by more than 100 copies of the same mechanical menace.
"Alright, ALL of you are getting on my nerves!" Yelled Beo, frustrated by the never ending onslaught of androids.At that moment, the androids were sent flying, as something impacted the ground, smashing into them. Then, another dozen were sent flying with a single swat of a long, pale skinned arm.
It was Frey, sporting a new pair of massive arms she had absorbed from the larger of the two."Here!" Frey yelled as tossed down the head of the giant robot.
Beo whistled at Frey's new look, "Someone's been working out, huh?"Frey turned to Beo for a moment before responding, "Nice haircut."
"Hey, that's low!" Beo answered, smiling at the joke. "So, what exactly happened with your guy?"
"I tore off its arms, took them for my own, and I stole its head as an intimidation tactic." Frey said.
"That's hot!" Beo cried.
Frey bashed the gauntlets together, "Just shut up and punch the damn robots." Frey grumbled.
"That's even hotter!" Beo answered, enjoying the banter.
Frey smiled, "I hate you."
"Love you too, babe." Beo cried as she dashed into the wall of steel.
So, Frey and Beo began a proper rampage through the waves of androids.
Beo began to coat her hands in flames, melting through the steel and welding some together for her own entertainment.
Frey wasted no time, mowing down dozens at a time with each swipe over her powerful arms. She even slammed her hands on the ground a couple times to send a few flying back.
In no more than a few minutes, they grew overwhelmed. Everytime 1 would fall, 2 more would find its place. In nearly no time, the dozens had become hundreds.
Despite the ocean of foes, despite the tiring bodies, despite Frey slowly losing more and more blood, they never stopped. The enemies never quit coming and the queens refused to stop. An unstoppable force had met an immovable object.
Suddenly, the androids stopped. They only stood still, doing nothing.
Huffing and puffing, Frey poked one of them, and it fell over, dominoing a few more.
The androids moved in sync, standing up straight, folding back up into arms and reconnecting to each other until only one was left standing.
Beo laughed, "Ready to give up? Maybe I'll turn you into a trash can! THEN I'll forgive you for ruining my date!"
"No, it's not done." Frey answered.
The android leaped over both women and it dashed into the movie theater.
"Be ready." Frey told Beo, "Something big is about to go down."
No sooner than a second later, the ceiling of the building exploded as two figures were seen in the sky. The smaller android and what remained of the larger one.
The legs of the larger robot discounted, and broke at the thick knee, the bottoms on its piece reformed, creating a set of 4 animalistic legs, not unlike that of a big cat.
The main torso of the large one folded open at the pack, revealing a large pair of wings before closing back up.
The smaller android began to change and fold itself, its arms and legs folded to the side, its torso opening to reveal a new face, with a snout.
