The call was breaking up. All Nick could hear is garbled static, as Bloodrayne on the other end was trying to yell into the microphone. Multiple people stopped their vehicles in shock, watching as the portal began to open. A dropship was the first thing to go through the portal, it holding a three-story tall creature with a mounted gun on its body. The thing's head was wide, but not that tall, with three long legs.
The strider fell down a block ahead of Nick, Bonnie, and Freddie. It seemed to do nothing at first until it fired upon the streets. Nick began to run at the creature, shoving people around. He jumped onto a car, and then on the side of an office building. The group leaped at the strider and grasped onto the hull of the synth. Bonnie took out her miniature RPG and fired it at the synth. It shook itself in pain, causing the group to fly off and hit either the street or a window. Freddie cracked the glass of an apartment window, Bonnie falling on the roof of a car, while Nick crashed through an office window. Bonnie jumped down onto the street and continued firing.
"Wait, I have an idea!" Nick yelled. He leaped back onto the synth and began to pull the armour plating back. He used his abilities to turn his hands into claws, and aggressively grabbed the brain of the creature and tore it apart. dark green blood spewed from the hull, as the strider fell in death.
Nick jumped down off the strider and onto the street. A few vehicles had been crushed during the crossfire, but casualties are minimal. He would look back up at the portal, and notice more dropships about to come through.
"Guys, look up," Nick yelled, watching as a gunship flew through the portal and wandering around. "Authorization: Nicholas Miller."
"The main set of stones are being used at the moment, would you like to take set two?" The automated voice replied.
"Yes, take set two!"
"The stones will arrive in ten to fifteen seconds, boss."
"Alright," Nick looked behind to Bonnie. "Hey, take out your RPG."
"Yeah, I know," Bonnie reached to her pocket, taking out a mini RPG. She aimed it at the gunship, firing it immediately.
The gunship noticed the rocket flying directly to it, the thing flying out of the rocket's way, or so it seems. Bonnie redirected the guide back to the gunship, it firing at her. She jumped out of the way, leaping onto a car while keeping the rocket aimed at the gunship.
Nick's set of stones arrived, them flying around him before he grasped the power stone and shoved it into his gauntlet. The sudden energy surging through his body, yet he could still handle it. Stone by stone, all of them glided on the gauntlet.
He leaped up to the gunship, holding on by its cooling system. He punched the creature using the power stone, it flying back in shock. The thing seemed to be almost dead by then, but it had decided to resume firing upon the citizens and the group.
Another one of Bonnie's rockets were on course for the gunship, as Nick flew out of the way.
The rocket hit the gunship, it seems to go into a panicked state, fire-spewing out of the creature, and within seconds, crashing into an office building.
Nick jumped down from a window, back onto the street. He began helping civilians, watching as they all ran inside for cover.
Hundreds more of gunships, striders, and other unknown dropships fly out the portal, flying down and out of the area. Nick, Bonnie, and Freddie look at each other, and Nick charges an attack from the Power Stone.
