Silently, the monitors began to crackle with a new-found power as the world around him shook, opening the doors to the angelic freedom of the battlefield. The green fields ran towards him and lit up his eyes. No more hiding. This is the world.
The Anzu drifted like a cloud. It was elegant yet powerful. Underneath the ten-tonne heavy feet, the entire weight of the robot crippled the ground until all that was left was a slush. It would stick to the metal, causing friction problems later. He would have to leave this beautiful field if he wanted to survive. The weapon that was held by the two massive, god-like hands was bounced with the power of each muscle-tendon snapping with his motions. He had the control, now.
A monitor lit up on the far left, alarming him immediately. As this was his first combat test, he never knew what it felt like for there to be danger in his midst. This was real, thought Yeshua, as the massive contraption veered to his left, checking the perimeter. The massive landscape became a sandbox. The fauna and flora were dolls in a playhouse. With the monitor flashing, Yeshua clearly realised the weapon he was carrying needed to be charged up either any excess energy would literally destroy his Anzu. The weapon began to be tickled with the sweet nectar, lighting up like a Catherine Wheel. The next person he would meet would definitely find themselves in --
A massive explosion knocked the Anzu to the ground, tonnes of armour and wire flying in opposite directions like a ragdoll. Metal screetched, electricity zapped and zoomed, wires broke and tore. The excess weight took him off the face of the Earth and he was flung to the side violently, the entire world spinning. When the robot had finally halted after being flung many metres, the ground behind him was tarnished with ash and the foul stench of blood.
Turning the behemoth around, Yeshua witnessed the now-invisible corpse of the Deamon, piloted by Alexei. He had died in a brilliant flash of energy, not more than a minute into their first fight.
"That's one down. There'll be many more to come. No crying. Not this time."
With that, the Anzu took flight with his massive clouds for feet, marching to the great lake that was not too far away. He could spend that distance quickly, if he ran with all the power the machine could muster. With each step he took, the more powerful he felt. The sprint was a horses' stampede, but with the rage of a young man behind it. The radar flickered on, showing him the expanse of the lake. Quickly, the massive creature lunged itself against the air, feeling such resistance against the sheer weight of the Anzu. He struggled like a kite caught in the wind. It plummeted into the lake, causing a massive splash as it did.
"Not graceful. It'll work, though."
Down into the darkness the beast went with the mechanical screen Yeshua peered through, silently bracing the pressure of the waves. He touched the bed. Sand and soil crushed like fossils beneath his feet, the sound murdered by the immense body of water. He waited there, with his powerful weapon still equipped.
