Deadblood (Undisputed Mortal Wrestling Champion)
I wish we were dealing with Jack Torrance.
From downstairs, Deadblood could hear Red yelling, but there was nothing he could do at that moment to help Sheri, as much as he wanted to. Gripping the sawed-off shotgun tightly, he knew the cyborgs were close, their heavy footsteps getting nearer. Stepping around the corner, he found himself face-to-face with one of the cyborgs, the one still equipped with its gun. He was close enough to read 'CA-0024' on the small, metal plate bolted to its chest armor.
Aiming the shotgun at the cyborg's face, he fired. Unfortunately, the blast didn't destroy the face plate like it did to the other cyborg's gun. It did leave deep dents and scratches in the metal though and the visor was cracked. The cyborg raised its arm the gun was attached to and fired a hail of bullets, DB diving out of the way just in time. He could hear the rounds smacking into walls and breaking more glass. Sheri was going to have a fucking fit over the damage to the house, if they lived that long.
When the bullets stopped, DB rolled to his feet and ran through another doorway, almost running right into Sheri.
"Shit, what the fuck are we going to do?" Sheri said, trying to keep her voice from going above a whisper. "I can't believe that psycho is working for the company now!"
"I guess they needed a plan B after you didn't work out for them," DB said, reloading his shotgun.
"Plan C you mean," Sheri said. "Don't forget about the other robot."
There was no time to argue as DB saw CA-0025 step into the doorway behind Sheri. He didn't feel as threatened by it without its gun, but he knew from dealing with CP-ZERO that the cyborgs were quite resourceful when they needed to be. This time he fired the shotgun at the cyborg's knee. The armor peeled back a little, but it didn't seem to affect the cyborg otherwise. It swung both of its fists at DB and Sheri as he grabbed her hand, quickly pulling her past the cyborg.
Then at the top of the stairs, Red said, "I DON'T GIVE UP THAT EASY, BABY!"
Starting his chainsaw again, he revved it several times while holding it over his head before rushing down the stairs after them. This time it was Sheri who grabbed DB's hand and she yanked him after her to the garage, slamming the door shut.
"OUT OF MY WAY YOU USELESS FUCKS!" Red said followed by two loud thumps that shook the house as he gave them a blast of Wickedness to remove them from his path.
Sheri climbed into the driver's seat of her car and DB got into the passenger side, not looking back as the chainsaw tore through the door leading back to the house. She barely missed crashing through the garage door as it slowly lifted up, the bottom scraping the top of the car.
Seeing that CA-0025 was now outside, standing in the driveway, she drove the car right at it. At the last second, the cyborg jumped, landing on the car hood before punching its undamaged arm through the windshield. Sheri didn't slow down as she raced down the street and DB could only watch as an invisible force began ripping off the armor around its hand until it fell loosely to the dashboard, leaving the pale flesh and exoskeleton underneath fully exposed.
Raising the sawed-off shotgun once more, DB fired at the hand, leaving both the flesh and exoskeleton a bloodied, tangled mess. The cyborg retracted what was left of its hands and as Sheri turned a sharp corner at still a high speed, CA-0025 tumbled right off the hood onto the street.
