Deadblood (Absolute Undisputed Champion)
Are you weird?
They waited for a break in the firing before moving again, running out from behind the pillar and behind a row of cars. It was a good thing they did too, as they then heard another WHOOSH, Deadblood turning around to look just in time to see a small rocket headed for the pillar, destroying it with enough force to shake the entire parking garage, sending chunks of concrete from the pillar everywhere!!!!! One particularly big chunk of concrete smashed through the back window of a nearby car, the broken glass only adding to the debris!
"I'm afraid to find out what else that thing has to shoot at us!" Sheri said as they both headed up a ramp that led to the next level of the parking garage, still running, able to hear the slow, heavy footsteps of their attacker.
"If it keeps shooting those rockets, we won't have to worry about it because this whole structure is probably going to end up collapsing on us!" Deadblood replied, reloading his Desert Eagle as they moved and had a small break from CP-ZERO's gun.
Still on the ground level of the parking garage, a voice then came in over the radio in CP-ZERO's helmet, a voice which only it could hear, saying, "CP-ZERO, report. Have the targets been eliminated yet?"
"Negative," it simply answered in a monotone voice, not pausing as it spoke, heading up the ramp itself, looking and listening for any sign of the targets.
When it reached the second level of the parking garage, it paused at the top of the ramp, carefully scanning the area with its enhanced vision device, ready to fire more bullets when needed. Before it could spot what it wanted to shoot at though, a long, metal pipe suddenly came flying through the air, moving faster than a bullet, propelled by the powers Deadblood was borrowing from Sheri!!! One end of the pipe struck CP-ZERO in the chest, which didn't seem to affect it at all, the pipe simply clanging to the floor! Almost immediately though, it began firing more bullets in the direction that the pipe had come from, breaking more car windows, broken glass falling down all over the floor around the cars!!!
"You actually thought that was going to work?" Sheri asked after Deadblood's failure to even knock CP-ZERO back a step. "Maybe you should send your shiny belt flying at it next, champ."
"I thought maybe I could impale the bastard!" he responded, annoyance in his voice at her comments. "Besides, take a look. I dented its armor. Looks like chrome dome isn't so indestructible after all!"
Sheri peeked out from the car they were crouched behind, which fortunately wasn't where CP-ZERO was focused on, his bullets still ripping apart the other cars, and sure enough, there was a small but noticeable dent in the armor on its chest where the pipe struck! After another moment, it finally stopped shooting again, moving closer to the cars, broken glass crunching underneath its feet as it investigated the area further. Both Deadblood and Sheri kept waiting for another WHOOSH of a rocket, which would probably tear a hole right through the floor of the garage with all the gasoline-filled cars that were parked in that area, but it didn't happen, not yet anyway.
"We need something bigger to hit it with," Deadblood then said. "Something we can leave a bigger dent with."
"I don't think you fully understand the limitations that come with this kind of ability," Sheri replied. "Massive headaches aside, bigger objects are harder to move faster."
"Well maybe we don't need something that can be moved quickly," he responded. "If we can find something big enough, maybe we can crush it or crack that fucking armor. And if that doesn't work, maybe we can at least get it pinned down long enough to get some easy, effective shots in."
They would have to decide soon on what they were going to try next, as CP-ZERO had already figured out that weren't hiding around the cars it had shot up and was beginning to head in their direction. They got quiet again as they heard those slow, heavy footsteps draw closer. Inside that parking garage, their options for dealing with CP-ZERO were quite limited, but after the match Deadblood had already gone through that night, there was no way they were about to let something like that put an end to either of them.
