Aretha

In the cold desert heat, I wait.

But an unfinished form, I am bulky and crude.

My Gatlings at my right, my Plasma Cannon at my left.

The thrum of Kojima energy fills me, it is my life source.

Bidden by pilot, I turn to the colony.

The thirst for destruction flares; I am what I was built to be.

Like a babe, I am curious.

Carnage is my focus, my anchor to the world.

Then another comes.

He brings one like me, but smaller and sleeker.

Like two of a species, we stand opposed to each other.

Then the thirst wins over me, and we fight.

I am stronger and faster, but I am losing.

I boost out of sight, and shred his armor.

I release the deadly Kojima energy into the air, but I am losing.

And I have lost.

I am crippled, the energy overcomes me.

Pilotless, I do not move.

The end comes, but moments away.

And it releases from its prison.

With my life's energy, I seed the barren earth.

And then there were none.
