Rain beat down hard against the streets of Neo Isaac, dark clouds obscuring visibility. The only source of light came with the crashing bolts of thunder, and dim lights of far off buildings. Four streets intersected at a giant metal monolith, inside a light blue sphere hung in midair easily visible by the glass windows surrounding it. A solitary shadow peered down at the city below, from on top the metal construct. A single red eye pierced the ebony veil surrounding its form. Slowly its feet lifted and fell as it turned from its perch, sparks flying from its chest. Thunder roared its insatiable rhythm, now echoed by a lighter pounding.
Eight bright lights showed below, followed by the heavy stomping of metal against concrete. They circled around the monolith. Each the size of a small house, two clear red windows glowing softly and a gun turrent in its center. There bipedal legs bent at the joints in reverse as they took positions blocking each street.
"Raven, give up. There is no escape"
The red eye slowly scanned the streets in a wide arch. Sparks flew as it strained in its movements. Below the MT's adjusted there cores. Resting against there legs as they raised their turrents, punctuating their threat.
"We repeat, stand down."
The raven leaned to one side and fell from the monolith. A bright blue flame erupting from its back. Its landing slowed, and it began to glide across the ground with amazing speed. Its right hand lifted revealing the barrel of a rifle, aimed at the nearest MT just to its left.
"Stop him!" The MT yelled as its turrent fired, trying to lower itself at the right angle. A scream came from the pilot as the Raven's ammo found its mark. One of the MT's legs blew from under him. It had no time to fall however. The raven continued fly along the ground with its boosters. From its left wrist a yellow beam outstretched, it lifted the beam just above its right shoulder and swung in a wide arch as it flew past the MT. The MT exploded in a blaze of fire as the energy blade cut its midsection, the pilots screams quickly silenced.
"Units 3 and 4 surround him!"
The raven's flame flickered and extinguished as it turned to observe the MT's destruction. Charred steel feel like garbage on the street. Two of the other MT's rounded the monolith before the Raven. It lifted its rifle once more, its arms straightened and resisted. A round fires before the arm falls uselessly to its side, the bullet missing the target. It stepped forward with its left leg and suddenly stopped. Steel groaning the Raven kneeled as its legs buckled and halted, powerless. The two MT's surrounded their prey, slowly their turrents lowered at the Raven. The red eye dimmed as its head lifted to gaze at the monoliths center. There the blue sphere continued to turn in its calming rotation. Transfixed it uttered but a single word "Earth..." The blaze of gunfire could be heard echoing in the night.
