The next phase was a breeze for Alexander; he just pulled out a gadget and teleported himself.

"I need to keep in mind that this is the only ender pearl I have left, and I've already used it," he thought.

As he swung the door open, a multitude of robots stood before him.

Alexander straightened his back and stiffened his movements, adopting the rigid, mechanical gait of a robot. He imitated their precise stance, allowing his voice to drop into a flat, emotionless tone.

"Initiating operation. I am a robot," he declared, fighting back a smile.

For a fleeting moment, the robots stood motionless, seemingly accepting his bizarre performance. But soon, the soft whirring of one unit analyzing him intensified. Their eyes blinked and recalibrated, until one by one, each robot's sensors focused on him.

"Human detected," one of them stated in a chilling monotone, raising its arm to reveal an integrated weapon. "Eliminate the intruder."

With a sigh, Alexander abandoned the robotic act. "Well, I guess I'm caught," he said, rolling his neck and cracking his knuckles. "Alright, metal heads-let's get this party started."

The robots surged forward, their movements unnaturally quick and perfectly coordinated

The robots surged forward, their movements unnaturally quick and perfectly coordinated. Alexander darted through the chaos, skillfully evading a barrage of bullets as he maneuvered among the metallic foes. With a flick of his wrists, he drew his twin pistols, unleashing a flurry of sharp, accurate shots. Each bullet struck true, yet the robotic soldiers merely staggered for a moment, their systems rapidly adjusting to counter the damage. As they closed in on him, he had no choice but to engage in hand-to-hand combat.

Seizing the arm of the closest robot, he twisted it to use as a shield just as another aimed its weapon at him. The bullets ricocheted off his makeshift barrier, striking two other robots in the process. In a fluid motion, he ripped the robot's arm free and wielded it like a club, swinging it with power to take down the oncoming soldiers.

"Is that really all you've got?" Alexander jeered, smashing one robot's head clean off with the severed arm of another. "I expected more from Kade's creations!"
