IC:

“Who are you?” repeated the woman, reaching for her short sword.

“Persistent, aren’t we?”

“Answer me!”

“Well, if you must know, I am Valkyhn. And you are…?”

“Rika.”

“Ahh… so you’re the one I have to fight. Now, where are the other two?”

“I have no idea. I guess we’ll just have to—“ She was interrupted as a huge mesh of metal exploded from the wall, creating a huge cloud of dust. Pieces of metal flew across, sharp as razors. Valkyhn quickly fell to the floor, instinctively covering his head. Razor sharp metal pieces slashed against his arms as he tried to pierce the dark cloud of dust and debris. Suddenly, Valkyhn could feel danger. Ominous and mysterious.

As the dust slowly cleared, a giant outline filled Valkyhn’s field of vision. The dust finally settled, allowing Valkyhn to take a good look at what was in front of him. “Oh crap!” Valkyhn immediately rolled to his side as a giant arm came crashing into the ground, inches from his face. The robot then came down with his other arm. Valkyhn continued to roll, all the while cussing. He knew that sooner or later, the robot’s arm would crush him. While Valkyhn rolled over and over, he thought of an idea. Instantly, he grabbed his sword, unsheathing it in a hurry. He then stopped rolling, waiting for the robot to attack once more.

The robot didn’t fail him. As he came down with his punch, Valkyhn blocked him with him his sword, redirecting his attack to the ground. He then immediately flipped his sword behind him, shoving it in the ground. Using the leverage of the sword, he lifted himself up in the air and flipped behind him, landing on his feet. Grabbing his sword from the ground, he adopted his battle stance. He was about to charge the robot when a scream came from his left. He twisted his head just in time to catch a foot in his face. Valkyhn flew back, blood squirting from his nose. He landed hard on the ground, rolling once and falling on his back. Slowly, he got up and looked at his attacker.

“Rika! What was that for? We get attacked by a giant robot and you take advantage of that by nearly breaking my nose?”

Rika laughed. “That robot didn’t attack us.”

Shock and stupidity came across Valkyhn’s face. “Wha?”

“It attacked you!” As if on cue, the robot came charging towards Valkyhn, arm held back, ready to punch.

“Son of a-“ he was interrupted as the robot’s fist slammed into his chest, knocking the air out of him and sending him flying towards the wall. He slammed against it and slumped to the floor, leaving a huge dent in the metal wall. As he wheezed and gasped for breath, he noticed a black figure standing on the wall. Finally getting his breath back, he croaked, “What the? Who are you?” He pointed to the figure. “You here to kill me too?” Suddenly, the figure disappeared. Confused, Valkyhn looked around, searching for it.

While searching, he found something else. A double attack by the girl named Rika and her giant robot companion. Valkyhn sobbed, closing his eyes. “Why me?”
