Shifted

With her shield still active Luna shot forward and slammed into the metal skull, sending it staggering back on what now looked to be spider legs. “Thy machine is forged from more than iron, it seems,” she spoke, “We shall enjoy finding out what metals it is made of from within!”

The robot moved slightly and fired at point blank a round from a barrel she didn’t see until the flash met her eyes. The round passed through and destroyed her shield, narrowly missing her body but passing through her mane and exploding on the far side of the warehouse, burying the mirror.

“Insolence! Thy dare attack a Princess?!” Luna bellowed as she flapped and flew over and behind the skull. With a quick whirring sound the skull spun to keep track of her, taking an exploding shock to its underbody, sending it stumbling a spider’s step.

“D’tra, hrem, m’lplith, TOPAH!” a voice chanted, suddenly Dave stood tall and roared with primal rage, taking a leap towards the machine and slamming into it with a powerful punch that took one of the eight legs off.

Luna charged a spell and sent it blasting at the now back of the head that was tracking the others, a panel was her target. With a moment of struggle the metal began to warp before she screamed in pain, falling to the ground and pulling her wings to her body, blood dripping to the floor from her left wing.

Raising her shield again she looked to see a flying black metal human. “More of thy toys? We shall enjoy-” she stopped as a burst of rounds impacted her shield and sent her staggering back and under the skull shaped robot.

A whoosh sound preceded a massive blast that sent the skull falling over with a hail of metal and technology onto Luna’s shield.

“They’re exposed! Get them!”

“Tal, proomy, daja!”

The skull shaped robot stopped all motion as blood curdling screams came from it. A moment later two humans fell from the front of it, scrambling in their hands and feet, running, sprinting past the humans Luna knew of and out of the warehouse.

Luna lifted the robot from her body and spun once around, releasing it and throwing it at the flying human. It easily dodged the flying robot, but not the blast that followed it and into the main body of the flying human armor.

As the human armor wavered in the air another appeared from the distance and caught the flailing armor before it fell to the ground.

Dave charged out and into the open after the running humans, catching them with a swiftness that belied his frame and smashed them into each other, obviously killing them both. Luna winced but took it as a sign of where the limits were of this battle. She took to a gallop and dropped her shield, casting a massive blast that charged through the air faster than anyone could follow it, striking the flying armors and sending the sprawling apart from one another and falling to the earth… into old decaying buildings.

With a distant crash the skull shaped robot landed and sent several buildings to the ground as it tumbled and shortly after two dull thuds indicated the landing of the two fliers.

Luna exhaled and turned to the group she knew that was lined up behind her with Dave racing up, stopping with a squeak of metal on concrete. Luna grinned widely. “The fun was nearly doubled! Where mayest We enter into battle again? That was,” she began to breathe in excitement, “most exhilarating,” she looked back and them starting at her. “Why doth thou look at me in such a manner?”

“Uh, Phil? What’d you bring us, again?”
