A malicious smile spread across Varad's face as he watched the devastation being wrought before his eyes, or rather, Nex Addo's eyes, with the images being laced on to his retinas through the red eye piece. He turned his head, looking left and right, and the sleek black helmet-like head of Nex Addo turned with it, surveying the scorched and burning village as the Warlords lay waste to it. This was turning out to be a beautifully effective raid, they had already captured many slaves and raided an A-Hav garage, taking many parts through which they would be able to build and upgrade their A-Havs.
Varad pulled his hands upwards and his robot mimicked him instantly, jerking its bulky, black arms up. With a mere thought the laser lances flicked out of their compartments in Nex's wrists and levelled with one of the sand caked buildings that was still standing. The lances pulsed and red beams seared forwards through the air with killer intent. They slammed into the cracked concrete and conjured forth a blossom of flame and debris that showered down upon the surrounding buildings and scattered military opposition. Varad grunted with satisfaction as the buildings support buckled and sent it crashing to the floor in a cloud of dust and rubble. Destruction, the only way to achieve world domination.
Then, out of the flame and smoke leapt forth a dirty white A-Hav which thudded to a halt before Nex Addo. Varad roared in laughter and it was echoed through the voice duplicator beneath the robots mouth piece, filling the air with a cruel and cold laughter. A metallic voice rang out from the village defence A-Hav in response.
"Curse you Warlord, go back to whatever pit you came from or I'll make you regret the deaths you caused here!"
Varad's grin stretched wider as the prospect of a potentially challenging adversary revealed itself. His lasers flicked away and Nex Addo's arms fell to either side in a relaxed way that would perhaps be considered unwise for a being about to enter battle. The white A-Hav took a step away, taken aback by the strange behaviour of the towering Warlord before him.
"You surrender?" the man inside asked, a glimmer of hope still audible beneath the A-Havs voice augmentation.
Varad burst into a fit of maniacal laughter this time and the white A-Hav visibly tensed, angered at being so ridiculed by his enemy. The man reached to a scabbard at his waste and pulled from it a curved blade that no man could wield.
"Fine, Warlord, you've called this upon yourself! Arm yourself!" challenged the village defender, taking up a defensive stance. Varad stopped laughing and it was his turn to be taken aback.
"Arm myself?" he said curiously, "No, no, I'm going to tear you to pieces with my bear hands!" he roared, bringing both clawed gauntlets up and clenching them in a threatening manner.
The white A-Hav let out an agitated grunt and charged forwards with the blade raised. He reached Nex Addo in a matter of mere seconds and brought the blade curving downwards at the black clad A-Hav. The blade smashed into Nex Addo's shoulder plate in a shower of sparks. Varad smirked as the blade caused no real damage to his thick armour.
"I guess this means it's my turn then," he grunted and swung a clenched fist round. It slammed into the A-Hav's side with a sickening crunch of metal and the robot stumbled away.
Varad gave it no time to recover; a mistake in battle was fatal he believed, no one should have a second chance from such stupidity. He charged forwards with thunderous steps and pounded the limping robot with hammer fall blows, each thump smashing dents into the armour, causing partings in the plates to bend open, revealing wires and mechanics within. Nex Addo rose a clawed hand and plunged it into a crack in the arm, grasping a fist full of cables and tearing them out with the hiss and crackle of electric. The white A-Havs arm exploded in a ball of flame and the robot stumbled away, a plume of smoke rising from the stub where the arm once was. Cables flailed wildly like torn tendons and liquids, fuel and water, gushed forth like blood. Varad enjoyed the ironic copy of a real flesh body but he couldn't spend all his time destroying lesser foes; there was a reason to this raid after all. He'd have to finish this quickly.
The defending A-Hav, trying to take advantage of Nex Addo's pause, launched a punch with its remaining arm. It was futile. Nex reached out and grasped the attacking fist in a crushing vice. With a quick twist and a horrific wrench the arm was torn out of its joint and lifted into the air, like some kind of grotesque prize. Then, with no mercy, Vadar brought the severed arm down and smashed it into the white A-Hav's head with the crunch of buckling metal. It was time for the finale, decided Vadar, and brought his fist round in a punch to the enemy's chest that sent the robot flying backwards to smash into a burning wreckage.
Hm, so much for a worthy adversary...
